Chapter 261: The Domino Effect

This charlatan set the date, February 6th. However, Yao Pingzhong, the general of the Western Army, made meritorious contributions, and on February 1, he led 10,000 foot cavalry to launch a sneak attack on the Jin army without authorization, and the Jin army still accurately knew the date of the Song army's attack.

The news leaked, and this is the only one possible. So who is the mole? Separated by more than 200,000 regular troops of the Song Dynasty inside and outside the city, the news can be sent over so accurately and timely, what kind of means is this? …… What kind of level is this mole?

Yao Pingzhong's 10,000-step cavalry to sneak attack the Jin army was barely enough, and he was counterattacked by the other party at night, and he only had the ending of rapid collapse.

When Yao Pingzhong led the army to attack, some people in the city knew and some did not know.

The person who didn't know was Li Gang, who was patrolling the city defense as usual. The person who knew was Emperor Zhao Huan, and after he got the news, he did not send someone to recover Yao Pingzhong, but urgently sent someone to inform Li Gang, saying that Yao Pingzhong had attacked, and it would definitely be successful, and you would immediately personally take someone to Fengqiu Gate to respond.

Li Gang was stunned, where is this, he is the commander of the city defense, and the general rushed out with people, without notifying him in advance. Looking at the order, it was written by Qin Zong himself, do you want to hesitate, such an order was issued three times in one breath, and he was not allowed to do it. So, Li Gang led his troops out of the city, which proved to be very necessary later.

After defeating Yao Pingzhong, the Jin army immediately advanced to Kaifeng City, wanting to take advantage of the chaos to attack the city in the dark night. Li Gang happened to meet the Jin army near the curtain slope outside the city, and after a chaotic battle, he beat the Jin army back outside the city.

The night finally passed, and when Li Gang returned to the city at dawn, he found that the chaos in the city was even worse than outside the city. Prime Minister Lee Bang-yan was furious. The Prime Minister was furious, and any stealing camps, interceptions, saving people, and saving the country were all crimes in his heart, which would anger Jin Jun and kill him! He has long said that he can't fight, but now it's okay, whoever said he could win, everyone ran out if he lost.

Li Gang was also very nervous, Yao Pingzhong disrupted the plan and let his entire layout fall through, now like this, how to continue? At the critical moment, the Planter Dao stood up. The veteran's experience is unmatched, and he has come up with a new style of play based on the situation.

The robbery was a mistake, but it can also be turned into a chance to win. If you failed last night, then you will rob again tonight, and if you fail, you will rob for ten days in a row. After ten times, the Jin army will be exhausted and unable to support it, so there is only one way to retreat. At that time, the second half of Li Gang's plan could still be implemented, and the banks of the Yellow River were still the place of the destruction of the Jin army.

Whether this strategy is good or not, I believe that anyone with a little wrinkle in their mind can tell it, but unfortunately, at this time, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty was an unwrinkled ...... Li Bangyan brushed his sleeves away. He was determined never to hang out with these madmen again, and for the safety of his family's life, he had to keep the situation firmly in his own hands this time.

After all, he is the prime minister.

On the grounds of military defeat, he dismissed Li Gang and Chongshidao, took over all military power, abolished the previous military arrangements of Li Gang and Chongshidao, and surrendered to the Jin army wholeheartedly and purely. And Emperor Zhao Huan was completely numb and did not comment on Prime Minister Li's actions.

At this moment, the Jin army envoy asked the Song Dynasty for an explanation.

Li Bangyan immediately explained, this has nothing to do with him, it was all done by Li Gang and the planter, what, you are angry, okay, I can tie Li Gang up and hand it over to you, and take it back to Jinying.

The envoy of the Jin army is stupid, this world is too crazy, are the people of the Song Dynasty making fun of me? Faced with this situation, the envoy decided to be calm, calm, and calm, and never give the Song Dynasty a chance to open up.

He refused.

Li Gang, keep it for yourselves, it's your own business to fight and kill if you want to.

The people of Jin Guo left, Li Bangyan breathed a sigh of relief, he felt that it was still not safe, he thought of the edict of the cession of the three towns that was detained by Li Gang before, which was required by the Jin army, how could he forget it?

He sent someone to Jinying to settle the ownership of these three towns. This person is still very famous in history, surnamed Qin, called Qin Hui.

After doing this, Li Bangyan felt that it was time to take a rest, he was so tired that he walked out of the palace gate with a lot of ease, and was just about to go home, when he bumped into Chen Dong head-on.

More than 1,000 Tai students petitioned the government under the leadership of Chen Dong, and behind them were more than 100,000 Kaifeng soldiers and civilians. They demanded that Bangyan restore Li Gang and the post of Seed Master, unanimously externally, stop internal friction, and give the people of the Song Dynasty a way to live.

More than 100,000 people took to the streets, equivalent to one-tenth of the total number of residents in Kaifeng. They can't bear it, and there is no need to endure it anymore, because the residents of Kaifeng, the richest, most civilized and peaceful city in the world, have nothing left and have become destitute. This was not caused by the aliens outside the city at all, it was all from the hands of the Song Dynasty's own officials in the city.

Li Bangyan, Wang Xiaodi and even the new emperor Zhao Huan, they ordered one by one to confiscate all their net worth and property! Now Li Gang and Seed Master Dao have also been deposed, which is tantamount to destroying their last hope of survival.

Facing the surging Kaifeng citizens, Li Bangyan fled back to the palace with his head in his arms.

The people changed, and the news blew like a hurricane to the Kaifeng officialdom, and Zhao Huan hurriedly announced that Li Gang had been reinstated. This document was written quickly, and someone was sent out of the palace to convey it to Li Gang. Li Gang appeared, the people were not satisfied, and there was still a kind of teacher. At present, the enemy is most important to military figures. This time, the official was obedient and sent a special car to pick up the planter. When the curtain of the car was lifted, revealing the white hair of the planter, the citizens of Kaifeng City were relieved and satisfied.

The effect of this popular uprising was great, not only to bring the rotten, cowardly, despicable and shameless Song Dynasty upper echelons to their knees, but also to the Jin army outside the city. When the news of Li Gang and Seed Master Dao's return to office reached Mu Huogang, Wanyan Zongwang ordered a retreat. Seed Master Dao believed that Li Gang's plan could still be executed, and immediately mobilized troops to both sides of the Yellow River, no matter which end of the siege was launched, the enemy could still be completely annihilated.

However, since Li Bangyan was not deposed, the matter was not discussed. The planter was ordered to go back to his hometown in the northwest, and he was free to live in seclusion or be a soldier, and he didn't have to worry about the affairs of the country. As for the banks of the Yellow River, Li Bangyan sent two large flags to the river, which read, "Those who send troops without permission shall be in accordance with military law." In this way, the two banners were waving in the wind on both sides of the Yellow River, blessing Wanyan Zongwang to lead the 60,000 Jin army, dragging and carrying countless burdens across the river and embarking on the road home. At this point, under the "domino effect" that began with the "secret leakage of the division", Li Gang's plan to annihilate the Jin army completely failed.
