In late October of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Ma Kuan, who was ordered to send an envoy to the Jin State, went to Ruyuesai, Daizhou, and had already discovered that the Jin army had indeed begun to invade the south, and immediately reported to Taiyuan. Tong Guan received the secret report in early November, but he was still not convinced. But soon, the urgent report of Cai Jing, the prefect of Yanshan, finally woke him up like a dream. Cai Jing said in the military newspaper that at the beginning of the month, the Jin army attacked the land of Yanyun. The two states of Tan Ji have fallen, the Jin people have been slaughtered, and the fallen land has become a mountain of corpses and a river of blood.

The bloody reality finally made Tong Guan realize that the Jurchens were going to destroy the Great Song Dynasty in the same year that they destroyed Liao! Extremely shocked, this old eunuch who had been in charge of the army for more than 20 years lost his due composure, and was helpless for a while, and had no intention of sending troops to rescue Yanshan. In the same month, Fu Cha, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty who sent an envoy to Jin Guo to celebrate the Tianqing Festival, returned to Taiyuan. But it has become a dead corpse, carried by his subordinates, and fled back from the Jin Kingdom non-stop.

A group of envoys cried to Tong Guan and told the details of Fu Cha's martyrdom. When the mission arrived in Jinguo, the other party did not send someone to pick it up in accordance with the etiquette of diplomatic relations. They lived in the post house and waited for news, but what was waiting for them was more than a dozen heavily armed Jurchen soldiers. I couldn't help but say that I forcibly escorted everyone, and walked less than twenty miles to the northeast, and met the second prince of the Jin Kingdom, who was leading the army to the south. He did not force Fu Cha to kneel down and perform the servant ceremony, and asked him to report to the Great Song Dynasty. Fu Cha argued, but was not angry, and let the soldier forcibly hold it down, breaking his legs. Fu Cha reprimanded him sternly, but he was not angry, snatched the big axe in the hands of his entourage, and struck him in the chest, causing his chest cavity to collapse and vomit blood to death.

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard the news! In a hurry, at the suggestion of his subordinates, 30,000 horses were gathered from the troops that had not been completely withdrawn from Zhongshan Mansion in Hebei Province to support Yanshan Mansion. Soon, Ma Kuan returned and reported to him in detail the situation of the Jurchens' southern invasion, Tong Guan was stunned and asked: "The Jin People's Kingdom has been decided, and some people and horses are on the border, how dare they do such a big thing?" ”

Ma Kuo was full of grief and indignation, and was full of resentment, accusing him of not listening to his advice and delaying the military plane! Tong Guan was respected as the king of the county, but he was speechless to refute it. In November, the Jin Army's Western Route Army, under the leadership of Mu Han, broke through Daizhou. Tong Guan was so shocked that his soul was fleeing, and he had the intention of escaping. A group of civil and military officials in Taiyuan were extremely dissatisfied with his mediocrity and misrepresentation of the country, and the prefect Zhang Xiaochun accused him of fleeing from the battlefield in person, regardless of the safety of his family and country. And this king of Guangyang County was ashamed and refuted: "I am the minister of Xuanfu, and I am not the general of the land!" I will stay in Taiyuan, and the country will raise you soldiers to do nothing! ”

It is estimated that he was afraid that the generals in Taiyuan would be in a hurry, so he would give him a mutiny, and he comforted him with kind words: "It is your duty to defend the land and the people, so you must work hard." After I returned to Beijing, I became a Ming official, and soon I sent troops from all walks of life to help! ”

Tong Guan's departure undoubtedly shook the hearts of the armies north of the Yellow River in the Great Song Dynasty. He walked away, and even took 50,000 elite divisions with him. These 50,000 horses are called "Chang Jie", which is composed of tall and brave young men recruited by Tong Guan in the northwest, with the most sophisticated equipment, and has always been regarded by him as a pro-army. The old eunuch's heart was clear, he was fleeing from the battle, in case someone was angry and played the banner of "Qin royal family, Qing Jun's side" to take his head, it would not be possible to have a reliable army around him.

But Tong Guan did all the tricks, but he never expected that if he abandoned others and ran away, people wouldn't stab him in the back?

In December of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, the people of the Great Song Dynasty were stunned by a rain of edicts. First of all, the official family issued an edict to cancel the Huashi Gang nationwide. The common people clapped their hands and said that the official family still sympathized with us in the end. Not long after, the edict came again, canceling the Yanfu Palace, the Xicheng Rent and the Internal and External Manufacturing Bureau. The people of Song Jing were greatly moved, thinking that the days of happiness were not far off. As a result, a few days later, the official family actually issued an unprecedented edict against himself, bluntly saying his mistakes since he ascended the throne. The people were almost moved to tears, but paper couldn't contain the fire after all. News came from the north that hundreds of thousands of Jurchen troops had invaded the south, and that all the states and counties in the northern frontier had fallen. For a while, the people were panicked, and the whole country was ****!

And Xujiazhuang, a paradise-like village under the rule of the Daimyo, was also shrouded in fear. Fortunately, there is one more thing that can make them feel a little at ease, that is, Xu Jiu's thousands of men and horses are stationed in the wheat field outside the village.

After three months of rigorous training, every soldier in the Jingsui Battalion could not be reborn, but it was very different from when the Xiangyong Battalion was first established. Xu Wei kept a close eye on the situation while training his troops. He Guan wrote to him one after another to tell him that after Guo Yaoshi was recalled to Tokyo, news of the Jin army going south had come from the north. But Cai You and others pressed and did not report it, thinking that it would not be too late to discuss it after the suburban ceremony was over. Pharmacist Kwok is still stranded in Tokyo. Although Cai Jing, the prefect of Yanshan, was a civil official, he led the army to defend Yanshan, but it is estimated that it will not last long. In addition, Cai Jing also used the silver medal to fly to Tokyo, and fiercely sued Tong Guan, pointing out that he was misleading the country by taking power, and the crime was extremely evil! Cai You and his party seized the opportunity and are preparing to attack Tong Guan. There will be great changes in the personnel of the DPRK and China!

In December, He Guan did not hear from him again. What came was an edict from Zhao Ji ordering all states and counties to lead the army to the king.

In the military tent of the Jingsui camp, Xu Wei sat opposite his father and was speechless for a long time. Since the emperor has reached the point of ordering the state and county to lead the army to the king, the situation in the north is not difficult to imagine. The Jin Army's Western Route Army will be blocked in Taiyuan, which is not in a hurry, but how long can Cai Jing stop the East Route Army attacking Yanshan Mansion? Once Yanshan falls, will the Jin army without Guo Yaoshi as a guide come straight to Tokyo? Will there be a pharmacist Zhang, pharmacist Wang, and pharmacist Ma? Xu Wei's advantage of foreseeing history no longer existed at this time.

"Since the Jin people planned in advance, I am afraid that most of the Yanshan Mansion will not be able to hold it. In case the Jin army rushes straight to Tokyo, the consequences will be unimaginable. Mrs. Xu broke the silence openly. This old minister, who has already been benevolent, is worried at this time, and all of them are written on his face.

There is no doubt about this, but what Xu Wei is concerned about now is; Historically, the Jin army took Yanshan Mansion lightly, and under the guidance of Guo Yaoshi, who was well aware of the reality of the Great Song Dynasty and the military deployment of Hebei, it went straight to Tokyo. And now, Cai Jing, the prefect of Yanshan, is resisting stubbornly, and Guo Yaoshi is far away in Tokyo, even if the Jin army breaks through Yanshan Mansion, how will it enter the army without knowing the details of the Great Song Dynasty?

The original purpose of the Jin army was only to completely capture Yanyun and occupy Taiyuan and other important military towns, and there was no long-term and comprehensive plan. In other words, the Jurchens themselves never thought that they could capture half of the Great Song Dynasty in one battle. At present, the Jin Army's East Route Army did not drink the Yellow River according to the original historical trajectory, which shows that the strategy agreed between himself and He Guan has taken effect.

Seeing that his son was silent, Mrs. Xu couldn't help but ask, "What are your plans?" Lead Jing Suiying into the king of Beijing? ”

"King Qin? I'm not going to join in the fun. Xu Wei sneered. Historically, the Jin Army's Eastern Route Army rushed straight to Tokyo and caught the Zhao family and his son off guard, largely due to the speed of the march, which made the Great Song Dynasty have no time to prepare. Now, he has changed history a little, and it is impossible for the Jin Army to appear under the city of Tokyo like a divine soldier. Even if Yanshan Mansion was lost, and the Jin army came straight to Bianjing without Guo Yaoshi as a guide, He Ji had already led nearly 20,000 horses to wander around Hebei, waiting to be blocked. Emperor Daojun has already issued an edict from King Qin, even if He Ji can't stop it for long, after his own reminder, He Guan has been prepared, if he goes to guard the Yellow River again, will he collapse without a fight, burn the bridge and flee back? Take 10,000 steps back and say, even He Guan can't resist it, but by the time the Jin army arrives in Tokyo, I am afraid that hundreds of thousands of Qin Wang's troops have gathered outside the capital of the Great Song Dynasty. If Jin Jun has to bite hard, he is afraid that he will break his big teeth.

Xu Taigong thought about it, and felt that it was reasonable, all over the country received the edict and flocked to Tokyo, and there was still a shortage of your 3,000 people?

"Report!" Outside the tent, a soldier shouted loudly.

"What's the matter?" Xu Wei asked sideways.

"Someone asked to see me! Claiming to be a Taigong deceased! The sergeant reported.

The two fathers and sons looked at each other, both puzzled, and Xu Wei ordered someone to come to see them. The curtain was lifted, and one person entered, first glanced at Xu Wei, then turned to Xu Zhang, stepped forward quickly, hugged his fists and said excitedly: "Brother Tianfu!" "This man should be over fifty years old, and his appearance is extremely powerful! Half a head taller than Mrs. Xu, his body is elevated, his long beard reaches his chest, his eyes are bright, and he is not angry and arrogant!

Xu Taigong stared at the man for a long time, then suddenly got up, grabbed the other party's hands, and said in a lost voice: "Qu Chong!" Are you Qu Chong? ”

The old man named Qu Chong held Mrs. Xu's hands and looked at them carefully, but he was choked up and couldn't speak. On the other hand, Xu Zhang also pursed his lips and gritted his teeth, excited and unbearable. After a long time, Xu Taigong reacted, turned his head and said to Xu Wei: "Come and see you!" ”

Xu Wei stepped forward to salute as he said, Qu Chong nodded, said a few perfunctory words, and sat down with Mrs. Xu. The latter asked about the intention, but Qu Chong looked at him and stopped talking. When he was in a hurry, he sighed: "There was something wrong, but I saw Brother Tianfu ...... like this."

Mrs. Xu was an anxious person, and said: "If you have something, just say it!" Spit and swallow, is it that he is old and his speech is not flexible? ”

Qu Chong knew the temper of this old brother, and hurriedly said: "I am here to be ordered by the prince of the small race. ”

Xu Wei was shocked! Species? Isn't it the way of the plant? I wonder where this famous general of the Western Army is now? Slow, since this Qu Chong came on his orders, it must be his subordinates, could it be that the Seed Master Dao led the army to King Qin so quickly? If this is the case, not only do you not have to be afraid of the Jurchen army overwhelming, but you can compete with them! The prestige of the Western Army is not blown out.

As soon as Mrs. Xu heard the name of the small species, his face was solemn, and he sat up straight and asked, "What is the dispatch of the prince of the small species?" ”

Qu Chong glanced at Xu Taigong, and his heart was sour. It turned out that the veterans of the family army passed away one after another, and the Tianfu brothers were the only ones left, who were known as the first brave generals of the Western Army, and the party members were frightened, but now they are in their last years, and they are no longer in the past. The mind of the little seed is afraid that it will be in vain.
