The transfer of generals was blocked twice

It is difficult for a reformed person to be entrusted with a great responsibility

The Privy Council continued to make adjustments to the military attachés. Guo Ren, deputy commander of the pro-army Ma Military Division, was appointed as the commander of Zhenjiang and the governor of Yangzhou; Jinghu Xuanzhi Xue seems to have been reappointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Hubei and Jingxi, and Deng Youlong of the Imperial History was the Xuanfu envoy of the two Huai. The Privy Council ordered that 5,000 new Shenwu troops be placed in front of the palace and stationed in Yangzhou; Add 2,000 crossbowmen to the Ma Military Division.

There were also two more appointments that took a surprising turn.

Qiu Zongqing, a scholar of Baowen Pavilion and a governor of Jiankang Mansion, was appointed as the Jianghuai Xuanfu envoy, but Qiu immediately asked the emperor for his resignation. Pingzhang military affairs Han Yanxuan was greatly surprised, the land of Jianghuai is the forefront of the Song Dynasty, once the Song and Jin wars, the position will be extremely important. Considering that Deng Youlong was difficult to take on his military responsibilities, he was recommended by Liu Jianxiu, the governor of the political council. said that this Qiu Mou was the main battle, advocated the recovery, and the style of words was bold, often had the hatred of his family and country, the sense of life experience, and was generous and dignified.

Let people invite him here, and at first glance, he is medium-sized, in his sixties, and he can't see any heroic spirit. Ask him why he is reluctant to take office.

Qiu Zongqing replied: "It has been nearly a hundred years since the Central Plains fell to Jin, and of course we must not forget this hatred of the country one day. But war is a murderous and dangerous thing, and it should not be lightly advocated. The ancients said that the opportunity for the survival of a soldier cannot be resurrected once he dies. Therefore, it is said that the affairs of the world are difficult to fight. As I have said a long time ago, the will to restore must not be forgotten, and restoration is not easy, and this is the truth. If the first to initiate the Northern Expedition, once the battle is engaged, the outcome is unpredictable. If you win, everyone will be happy, and if you lose, you will be held accountable for the advocate, and who will bear it then? King Pingzhang, some people are greedy for merit, and they are lucky, and encourage you to raise troops for the Northern Expedition. You must not be impulsive, you should be severely reprimanded. If not, it will certainly mislead the country and harm the people. ”

After listening, Han Yanxuan showed disdain, thinking to himself, the will to recover must not be forgotten, and the restoration is not easy, that is to say, you can't play really, and you are also a person who is still empty talk and does not do practical things, Ye Gong is a good dragon! He asked coldly: Everything has just begun to be done, how can it be seen that it will fail? Have you ever fought?

King Pingzhang is like this, we can prepare first, and we can strike later. Now the Jin people may not intend to defeat the alliance, our country should show the wind of the country, strengthen training, replenish armaments, and lay the foundation for victory, if the Jin provokes first, we will have a moral advantage. Then you will be able to fight against the enemy. ”

Do you mean to say that let the enemy make the first move, and if he doesn't pick the head, we will wait, and the land of the Central Plains is still in the hands of the enemy, will he take the initiative to return it to you because of your morality?

No, when we are strong, we can also consider taking the initiative.

Han Yan was displeased, let you go, and didn't do it when you arrived.

Anyway, I don't think we have the ability to send troops to fight.

Wang Yuan, the governor of Fuzhou, had a civil and military strategy, and when he knew Haozhou, he built fortifications, trained soldiers, paid attention to garrisons, and visited the northern border with the border people, and Jin did not dare to invade the south. Han Yanxuan heard about this person many times and felt that he was a usable material, so he sent someone to Beijing overnight to summon him and promised him an official position.

I don't want to, Wang Yuan is unwilling, and blindly shirks. Privately said to his family: "The Tao is different, and there is no conspiration. I've heard that the minister chooses the minister, and the scholar chooses the minister. Liu Xin and Liu Zongyuan lost their bodies and bandits, and they were ridiculed by future generations. Now, the imperial decrees are all from the Han family, and I don't want to be a disciple! The public does not tolerate people, how will people endure the public. ”

The refusal of these two people made Han Yanxuan a little discouraged, now is an important moment to transfer troops and send generals, but where are the capable generals.

Enable Xin Qiji, this person is a capable person, has fought in battles, and is familiar with the terrain. It must be very suitable for him to serve as the envoy of Huaidong Xuanfu.

After discussing with Chen Zhishan, Su Shicheng, and Zhou Yunluan, Su Shicheng was the first to oppose it.

This person should not be reused, he is a reformed person, there are some relatives and friends in the Jin country, there is a person named Dang Huaiying, he worships the brother, I heard that his official to the third grade, is a Hanlin bachelor, the emperor of the Jin country is very important to him. If the two collude, then the problem is big.

Chen Zhishan also said: This person is indeed quite talented, but he has always acted arbitrarily, and once he is allowed to take office, I am afraid it will be difficult to control. As the saying goes, it is easy to please God and it is difficult to send God, but it is better not to use it, so as not to burn your hands.

Zhou Yunluan scolded: This person was young, he had one or two raids, to put it mildly, he was a young man, not afraid of death, he was a coincidental and lucky, crooked fight, and after that, he had never led soldiers to fight, don't look at his words so passionate and heroic, I am afraid that like Qiu Zongqing, he is also a soldier on paper.

Han Yanxuan will be suspicious, this Xin Jiaxuan defected to my Great Song Dynasty for more than 40 years, I only heard of cruelty and greed, no one has ever impeached him for having different ambitions, Shi Cheng and Yun Luan said this, it is inevitable that he is a little derogatory, I also heard that he has been sending people to listen to the news of the Jin people, in preparation for the Northern Expedition, it can be seen that this person is loyal.

Su Shicheng hurriedly explained, King Pingzhang, Shicheng I didn't say that he had different ambitions and was disloyal to the imperial court, but since the founding of Gaozong, he has always had doubts about the people of the reformed people, and never let them lead the army into battle, and always use it for a while, just let him be idle, which makes sense.

Han Yanxuan still feels a pity, but now it is difficult to find even a general who takes the lead.

King Pingzhang, don't think that it is a great difficulty to lead the army to fight, after the Taizong Dynasty, the civil officials led the army into battle, and there were many victories in killing the enemy. Zhou Yunluan also helped.

Su Shicheng comforted Han Yanxuan, oh, my lord, relax, you point out the direction and give orders, we charge into battle for you, beat the drum and cheer, the Northern Expedition will definitely be victorious, even if there is no big victory, as long as we capture and occupy a few states and counties, we can raise our eyebrows in the world, if you can't do it, you will take me to ask for the crime.

Chen Zhishan said: King Pingzhang, thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, reduced to razed territory, a hundred years of shame, and urgently needs to be washed. Now is the best time for the shame of two hundred years of snow and three thousand miles of rivers and mountains, as long as you give an order, hundreds of thousands of elite divisions will cross the Huai to the north, and they will be able to defeat the enemy wherever they go.

Han Yanxuan was tempted, okay, then let's start first.

Yang Yuandao found that there were still Song troops crossing the border and harassing and attacking the Jin soldiers.

An army of the Jingxi Xuanfu Envoy crossed the border and attacked Neixiang County in Dengzhou on Nanjing Road in the Jin Kingdom, and attacked Luonan County in Shangzhou on Jingzhaofu Road to the west, and was finally defeated by the Jin army at the Dan River.

A few days later, nearly 1,000 Song soldiers from Lizhou, Sichuan, attacked Tianshui and reached Dongkegu, but the result was defeated by the Jin general Liu Duo.

Didn't Han Pingzhang say that he would no longer send troops to attack? Isn't this a clear attempt to alert Kim and prepare for the fight?

In doing this, can Han Pingzhang not know, a person at the helm has reversed himself, which is really incredible.

Two pieces of news came from the country of Jin. In late autumn, in the capital of Jinguo, there is a fiery red light between the black clouds in the northwest, followed by a fiery red light in the southwest, due south, and southeast, and white gas runs through it. Until night, the whole city was shrouded in fiery red light, and it was not until the fourth watch that it was extinguished. The people of the capital are panicked, and some people say that the world is going to be in chaos.

Sure enough, Wan Yan Jing convened the ministers to discuss, and Wan Yan Chonghao, the prime minister of Zuo, and Jia Xuan, the governor of the political affairs, said: "I'm afraid that the soldiers on the Song border looted privately, and they may not really raise troops to the north." ”

Henan Xingtai Busa said: "The small group of thieves are all out of the day and night, where do they dare to line up during the day, attack the spiritual wall and vortex, and attack Shouchun?" Previously, the Song people always defended and wanted to mislead us. If we don't prepare early, we will suffer a big loss if the GIs invade. ”

Wan Yan Jing agreed, instructed Bu Sahua to go to Bianliang immediately, play the role of the province, and allow him to act at the opportunity. Recruit all the troops and horses to guard the key points. He also issued an edict: The generals of Shandong and Shaanxi need to strictly train their soldiers to prepare for emergencies. Tell the local government that the imperial court will give 150,000 taels of silver to the border generals, and you can use this money to recruit people to reconnoiter the military situation of the Southern Song Dynasty for you. After sending Yan Taiping and Fucha Ali to lead the army, they went to the Song-Jin border to strengthen their defenses.
