… When the confession came out, the depression in Li Gang's heart was not alleviated. On the contrary, he was even more depressed, and he was expelled from the imperial court and came to Shaanxi. At that time, I held a hope, worked hard, made great efforts, and vowed to build all roads in Shaanxi into an iron wall, so that when the official family left Beijing, the election of the chief turned out to be the opposite, the Son of Heaven went to the south, not to mention, now Langyan is lost, I am afraid that the land in Guanzhong will not be guaranteed.

"Alas" let out a long sigh, and the loyal minister walked up to the official bridge with a gloomy expression. Lieutenant Chong is a famous general on the battlefield, and his words may be reasonable, but if he gives up Guanzhong without a fight, no matter who declares Shaanxi to do so. Not to mention anything else, the saliva of everyone in the world can drown you! But if you gather a large army and swear to protect Guanzhong, if it fails, it will be equivalent to losing the whole of Shaanxi! What to do?

Lifting the sedan curtain, I saw the traffic in the street market outside, and the flow of people was endless, and my heart hurt more and more. Chang'an, the ancient capital of several dynasties, was the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. It's almost like a deserted city, and it's taken generations of hard work to make it what it is today, give up? The muscles on Li Gang's face were pulling unnaturally, and the pain was extreme.

Return to the Yamen of the Xuanfu Division. Li Gang did not convene civil and military officials to discuss countermeasures, but returned to the back hall study and locked himself up. Sitting behind the copy, taking off the black yarn on the top of the head, and when the net was about to be placed on the table, it seemed that he suddenly became interested in this official hat, and he held it in his hand and looked at it for a long time. More than ten years of hard study in the cold window, it is nothing more than to make a black yarn for Bo, report to the king, go down to An Lishu, make meritorious contributions during his life, and leave his name after death.

"Xuan Xiang, the senator Ma Kuo asks to see." Outside the study. The servant's voice sounded.

Li Gang thought for a while, and said Mu Ran: "Tell him that I have recovered from my old illness, and I will talk about it tomorrow." ”

Leaning weakly on the back of his chair, he closed his eyes with his back to the sky, and felt a splitting headache, and the words of the planter echoed in his head from time to time. It is light to give up what Guanzhong said, and the roads of Shaanxi rely on the fertile fields of Qinchuan in this Guanzhong, which are eight hundred miles away, and once they fall into the hands of the Jurchens, the situation is only afraid to be more difficult. The commanders from all walks of life support their own troops, and they often disobey orders, and now they are not summoned, and when Guanzhong falls, these people are only afraid of racking their brains and sweating to protect themselves, who will take care of the anti-gold?

"Xuan Xiang, Ma Kuo said, he has medicine for Xianggong's illness." The voice of the servant was heard again outside. Li Gang sighed again. Said helplessly: "Let him in." ”

After a short time, Ma Kuo pushed the door in, stood in the center of the room, and bowed but did not speak. Seeing this, Li Gang frowned and said, "Why is he silent? ”

"When the husband recovers, he naturally has to say the symptoms. Humble duty is good to apply medicine to the symptoms. Ma Kuo replied.

Li Gang stared at him, knew what he meant, and said: "Langyan is lost, and Guanzhong is in an emergency, this is the root of the disease." ”

"Oh, if that's the case, then the disease of the public is really good, and the medicine can be saved." Ma Kuoyi replied.

His face changed, what did he mean by that? Isn't it a pastime for me? Li Gang was quite displeased: "Why? ”

"Xianggong is the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, and the imperial court pays six heavy places to Xuanxiang, but in the eyes of Xianggong, he only cares about one place, how to diagnose and treat lowly duties?" Ma Kuo said it very earnestly, not like a joke.

Li Gang seemed to hear some off-string sounds, and Xiao Ma Zichong was vaguely criticizing himself for being short-sighted! After a sneer, Li Bojifu said: "Guanzhong is the foundation of Shaanxi, and if you lose it, the world will shake!" ”

There was already dissatisfaction in his words! But Ma Kuo only pretended not to understand, and said-for-tat: "Since ancient times, the great cause has started from Qin Long, although the land of Guanzhong is rich, but the terrain is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend, the soldiers must attack, but they will also lose." If Xiang Gong focuses on the overall situation of Shaanxi, then he should retreat to Qinfeng, according to the mountains and rivers to resist the gold thieves, and then restore the map. If you insist on fighting the Jin army repeatedly in Guanzhong, not only can this place be undefended, even the entire territory of Shaanxi, and even hundreds of thousands of Western troops. And when it is gone! ”

Li Gang took the case! shouted: "Ma Kuo." You need to know who you are! ”

Ma Kuo looked at him calmly, bowed down and said, "I was recommended by Xu Ziang to enter the curtain of the prime minister." Grateful for the virtue of proclamation. This is a critical juncture. I have to tell the truth, if there is a collision. Please don't be guilty. ”

Li Gang's lips moved, but he didn't speak. The words of the beggar are almost the same as those of the Taiwei. They all have to give up Guanzhong and retreat to Qin Feng. It is easy for you to say, if you are not in your position, if you are in the position of a proclamator. Do you dare to do that?

A needle drop could be heard in the room for a while, and Li Gang sat down dejectedly. Silent for a long time.

Ma Kuo saw this. took two steps forward and said in a low voice: "The Jin military is trapped in Yan'an, and they want to eat the whole territory of Yanyan." It will take time. If you are fair, you should make a decision immediately. You can also use this time to transfer the money, grain, ordnance and materials of the government treasury, and if you are late for a while and a half, they will all fall into the hands of Beiyi.

Li Gang waved his hand, and his face full of vicissitudes was full of tiredness: "That's it, this matter is considered by the prime minister before making a decision, you can step aside." ”

Ma Kuo's expression darkened, as if he wanted to say more, but he didn't say it after all, and he pulled out of the room to the end.

Li Gang sat on Xu Jian in a daze, and suddenly bounced straight as if he had been struck by lightning, and occupied the table on the ground... Just the top of the black yarn swept away. Removed the paper. Hold the pen in hand. I thought about it for a while. And then Ha Yang rose the book! Although I am the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, I have the right to act cheaply. However, in the end, it is the central government that must be controlled by the imperial court. For example, today's southern tour, even though Zhenjiang is far away, there is still a Tokyo left-behind division!

When the official family left Beijing, he entrusted Xu Shao with all the anti-Jin affairs in the north, as if he had entrusted half of the country to him. This matter is very important, and I can't bear it myself, so why not ask Xu Shumi?

After it was written, it was sealed with wax and servants were summoned. I have repeatedly asked that the gold medal of this book must be sent to Tokyo!

In June of the second year of Song Longxing, the Jin army, which had been defeated at Dingrong, was personally reinforced by the minister of the Dajin State. Make a comeback and storm Yan'an. In this battle, the elite of the Jin army was exhausted, and Muhan even brought the troops that pursued the Khitan remnants Yelu Dashi. The Jin army set up thousands of robe carts of various colors outside Yan'an City, and the rest of the equipment such as goose Zhuo, rushing cars, and cave houses are even more numerous. The defenders of Yan'an put up a resolute resistance under the leadership of Zhang Shen at first, and even the soldiers themselves don't remember how many times they repelled the Jurchen attacks, only that the corpses under the city of Yan'an were piled up like a mountain, and the stench was stinking!

Langyan Road originally had a large number of soldiers, and there were more than 50,000 Mabu troops, not counting the brave and strong village soldiers. But last time, Zhang Shen suffered a big defeat at the hands of Yelu Ma Wu, and suffered a lot of losses. and after the Battle of Dingrong. Zhang Shen miscalculated the situation and sent the soldiers and horses gathered in Yan'an back to various places, leaving only 10,000 people. When the Jin army landed in Danzhou and went straight to Yan'an City, Zhang Dashuai regretted it too late.

After the fall of the eastern city of Yan'an, Zhang Shen led the remnants to defend the western city. In his imagination, Yan'an is the throat of the six roads in Shaanxi, and the Xuanfu Division will send troops to help. But at the same time, he also knew that He Shaobao, the control of the division, had an opinion on him, and he might wish he was finished. In view of this, in the early days of the Yan'an Defense War, he was still able to motivate his soldiers and resolutely resist. After the fall of Dongcheng, Zhang Shen felt that the general trend had gone, and if he continued to hold on, he was afraid that he would inevitably die.

After waiting for reinforcements for a long time, Zhang Shen was both shocked and angry. The more I think about it, the more I hate. Aren't you going to fix me? Don't you want to take my position as commander? Good. If you don't come to the rescue, Lao Tzu voted for the Jurchens!

But he wanted to surrender, but the generals at the bottom might not agree. Zhang Shen thought about it again and again, and asked Liu this first. The latter was ambiguous, neither promised to surrender, nor did he say that he would resolutely resist and die for his country. Zhang Shen asked others again, some said to die in battle, and some agreed to surrender. It was just right for the Jin army to attack fiercely. The Langyan soldiers were miserable, and Wanyan Weisu, who commanded the siege of the Jin army, submitted a letter to persuade him to surrender at this time.

I don't know how the Jurchens learned about the internal affairs of the Western Army, and the commissioner said in the persuasion letter that it is Qu Duan who is now in charge of the military in Shaanxi, and he will never come to the rescue of Yan'an, so it is better for you to surrender as soon as possible. We prepared the wine, slaughtered the fat sheep, and waited for Langyan Zhang Dashuai and his generals to come. Moreover, it shows that the prime minister of the state is clingy, as long as Yan'an surrenders Kaicheng, it will be reused. even promised Zhang Shen that everything would remain unchanged after surrendering, and he would still guard the land of Langyan.

Zhang Dashuai saw that the general trend had gone, so he turned his heart sideways, gritted his teeth, and opened the city! Surrender!

When the news of his surrender reached Duzhou, Xiao Muhan was overjoyed! When he was celebrating with the generals, he suddenly got news that it was a Song army that made a detour around Taihe Mountain, and the attempt was unknown. This shocked Mu Han, and together with the generals, Yan'an has already arrived, and there is no need to be afraid of the Purple Gold Tiger.

Simply withdraw the soldiers and horses of the two large battalions and assemble them. The next morning, I went to fight tigers! As a result, he did this, and he also frightened the Xu family brothers, thinking that he was setting up some kind of game.

Zhang Shen defected to the enemy and treason, and its impact can be said to be very bad. Song and Jin fought for several years, and there were not a few who surrendered, but in Shaanxi, he was the first one among the officials at the first level. As soon as he surrendered, it not only heralded the fall of the entire Duyan Road, but also set a very bad precedent. It is no wonder that Li Gang was shocked to hear that it was time-saving, and even called it "incorruptible and shameless"

Although the Jin army has to get Yan'an, it will take time to eat all the way to Duyan. It is only because Lang Yan passes through the defense area of the pacification division, including Yan'an Province, Lang, Dan, and Fang Prefectures, security, and the German Second Army. Although the Jin army currently controls most of the foothills, the two armies of Baoan and Germany have not fallen, especially those assigned to Hedong, but the three prefectures of Lin, Fu and Feng, which are geographically close to Shaanxi, are still under the control of the Zhijia army. Security, the Jurchens of the Suide and Suide armies may not take it seriously, but they dare not despise the Zhejia army in Lin, Fu, and Fengzhou. According to conservative estimates, the Jin army will not be able to enter Guanzhong. Or push west to play Huanqing and Jingyuan two roads. At least in August, when autumn is cool. In the past month or so, if the Western Army can formulate a correct strategy and reorganize its defense, it will be able to confront the Jurchens. But if it's still the same as before. There is no correct strategy above, and the people below only care about self-preservation, and say unceremoniously, wait for the fall of Shaanxi. Shaanxi is lost, and Sichuan is next. From ancient times to the present, Sichuan has been China's great rear. "The world is not chaotic, Shu is in chaos first, and the world has been governed by Shu and then ruled" If even Sichuan can't be saved. Then China will surely perish.
