In August of the seventh year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Jin Taizong Wanyan Sheng issued an edict to invade the south, and the whole country of the Great Song Dynasty was unprepared, and in the face of the blade of the Jurchens, they were more like ostriches burying their heads in the soil.

Due to the southern invasion of the Jin Kingdom, the Song court was in chaos, and the main battle faction and the main peace faction were still in dispute, so they naturally put aside the matter of cutting the feudal domain, and the matter of ordering Sanniang to enter Beijing was even more forgotten.

After returning to Jeju Prefecture, Sanniang summoned a group of leaders and ordered the soldiers and horses of the military states on the Shandong Road to start preparing for war, and if the Jin army went south and invaded the Shandong Road, it would definitely meet the attack to ensure that the Shandong Road was not threatened by war. At the same time, Sanniang ordered all parts of the north to step up the investigation of the news, hoping to find out the battle and whereabouts of the two ** horses of Song and Jin.

A month later, a series of news came to Shandong Road one after another, and Song Ting's weakness and incompetence were really eye-opening. First of all, Tong Guan went to Taiyuan to patrol the border, and Yan Zonghan, the western route army of the Jin State, put forward a request to strike the army, which was to teach the Song State to cede the land north of the Yellow River in exchange for the boycott. Tong Guan did not dare to agree, but he did not stay in Taiyuan to command the army and horses to resist, but ran back to Tokyo in a puff of smoke and reported the news to the imperial court.

Although Emperor Daojun was weak and incompetent, he was also cheeky, and the request of the Jin State to cede the land north of the Yellow River was rejected. The news of Emperor Daojun's refusal to cut the land came, and it also made Uncle Zhang a little excited, he immediately ran to see Sanniang, and said straightly: "Xuanfu envoy, now the imperial court refuses to cede the land and sue for peace, and the next must be to order the world's soldiers and horses to fight against the Jin army. ”

For Uncle Zhang to come to make such a request, Sanniang is not surprised at all, although Sanniang's military administration on Shandong Road has won the support and support of the people, but after all, the Great Song Dynasty has been established for nearly two hundred years, both officials and the people have always taken the Great Song Dynasty as the right one, not to mention that Sanniang did not raise the flag and stand on his own, so the Shandong Road Army sent troops to fight against the Jin Army, and many people still supported it.

Sanniang didn't object, she expected that with the urine of Cai Jing and Tong Guan, who were traitors, would she agree to lead troops to Hebei with this thorn in her eye? The answer is no. So after listening to Uncle Zhang's words, Sanniang pondered for a moment and said slowly: "I asked the old lady to write a letter of recital, and put it on the court, and my Shandong Road military horse is willing to send troops to Hebei." ”

After getting Sanniang's approval, Uncle Zhang was overjoyed at night, and immediately invited pen, ink, paper, and inkstone, and wrote the table by handwriting, and then Sanniang used the official seal and sent someone to the capital. Zhang Shuye thought that the imperial court would allow the Shandong Road Army to go out of Shandong and go to Hebei to fight against the Jin army, but he didn't expect that after this performance was put up, it would be like a stone sinking into the sea.

Another month passed, and it was already October, and the news came from Tokyo. It turned out that after the Song court received Sanniang's recital, Li Gang, Huang Shang, Su Yuanjing and others from the main battle faction naturally echoed it, and asked Emperor Daojun to issue an order to let the Shandong Road Army Horse, the most capable soldier and horse of the Great Song Dynasty, go north, but they were opposed by Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Cai Jing's reason is very simple, Hu Lan's daughter, although she is a woman, has always had different ambitions, disobeyed Wang Hua, and the military horses under her command did not obey the dispatch of the imperial court, so that she could send troops to Hebei, which was the way to take chaos.

The main battle faction of the imperial court and the main peace faction were in dispute, just waiting for Emperor Daojun to make a decision, and although Emperor Daojun didn't think that Sanniang was what Cai Jing said, he actually didn't really want to fight with the Jin army and expand the war. There was only one thing on the emperor's mind at this time, and that was how to escape to a safe place and continue to have fun.

As a result, Sanniang's recital was vetoed by Emperor Daojun, according to the emperor's statement: "The Jin State invaded the south, intending to Yannan Bazhou and the land in the clouds, and asking for the land of Hebei, which is a temptation. If the Shandong Road Army and horses enter Hebei in a big way, it will definitely provoke the Jin army, and the two armies will fight, and the victory or defeat is unknown, so it is not easy to start a war. ”

With the tone set by the emperor, the hearts of all the traitorous ministers are bright, and the emperor does not dare to fight with the Jin State. So the word of the crowd suppressed the song of the Shandong Road military horse requesting to go to battle. But there is no order to send the instructions to the table, although these traitors are bent to welcome the emperor's intentions, but they also know the great military affairs, if they openly refute Sanniang's request for war, I am afraid that the fighting spirit of other military states and horses, if the Jin army really can't be appeased in the future, it still has to fight, and it can't chill the hearts of the generals in the world at once, so the Song Dynasty will press down the table, and there is no reply, it is like a stone sinking into the sea.

After Sanniang got the news, she convened the generals to discuss the matter. After hearing the news, Uncle Zhang was silent for a long time, and finally sighed and said: "The Jin people invaded the south, and the heart of the death of me is obvious, I can't imagine that the court is still so weak, and listen to the words of the traitorous ministers, is it really the Great Song Dynasty that has exhausted its strength?" ”

On the side, Chen Xizhen sneered and said: "I think the emperor himself doesn't want to fight, if he really wants to resist the Jin people, what can Cai Jing and Tong Guan do?" Li Gang, Huang Shang, Su Yuanjing and other loyal ministers in the DPRK are still there, how can Cai Jing and others control the government so much? Uncle Zhang was silent at night.

Sanniang shook her head and said: "That's it, since the imperial court doesn't trust us, we will guard the door and teach the Jin army not to dare to enter Shandong." After a pause, Sanniang said again: "In addition to this matter, there is another news coming, and that is the matter of Zhang Jue in the clouds." ”

At that moment, Sanniang said the news of Zhang Jue in the clouds again. It turned out that in August of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Wanyan Zongwang was ordered by Jin Taizong to take over Wanyan's mother's army to ask Zhang Jue, and Wanyan Zongwang's military horse went to the east of Pingzhou City, Zhang Jue's army was defeated, and fled overnight, ran to the Great Song Dynasty, fled into Yanjing City, and took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty Yanjing to stay behind, and Yannan Xuanfu made Wang Anzhong under it.

Wanyan Zongwang learned that Zhang Jue had fled into Yanjing, so he sent an envoy to Yanjing to ask Wang Anzhong, the Xuanfu envoy of Yannan, for Zhang Jue. Yannan Xuanfu made Wang Anzhong hide Zhang Jue in the Jiazhan Treasury, and first deceived the envoy of Zongwang, saying that there was no such person.

But how could Wanyan Zongwang be so easy to deceive? The demand was even more urgent, Wang Anzhong killed a person who looked similar to Zhang Jue to replace Zhang Jue, and there was a Liao general who knew Zhang Jue in the Jin army, so he recognized that this person was not Zhang Jue.

Wanyan Zongwang Chen Bing Yanjing City, threatened with force, Wang Anzhong did not get the will of the imperial court, and did not dare to resist, and finally had no choice but to bring Zhang Jue out and count his crimes, Zhang Jue scolded the Song people for not allowing people to speak, and scolded the Song people for not being faithful, Wang Anzhong could only kill Zhang Jue, wrapped his head and gave it to the Jin people.

Hearing this, Zhang Shuye's face was even more ashen, and he muttered to himself: "Even if you treat a meritorious general like this, there is a good chance that Yannan's soldiers and horses are all Liao generals, so isn't it that Yannan will disperse overnight?" ”

Sanniang sighed and said: "The old lady is not bad at what she said, in this way, it really chills the hearts of Yannan's troops and generals." Sure enough, the generals and Chang Shengjun who surrendered in Yanjing shed tears when they saw Zhang Jue being killed. Among the generals of the Liao State, Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and others all said: "What if the Jin people come to ask for us in the future?" Since then, the original Liao generals and soldiers in Yannan have lost their fighting spirit.

After hearing the news, Chen Xizhen sneered: "Before, Zhang Jue Nacheng opposed Jin and Song Dynasty, if this court really maintained an alliance with the Jin State, it should not accept Zhang Jue. But having accepted Zhang Jue, he should be ready to meet the ending of the Jin State's sword soldiers, just like Song Ting, who wants to take advantage of it and doesn't want to start a war, where is there such a good thing in the world? ”

Sanniang bowed her head slightly and said: "At both ends of the head of the Song court, the monarch is faint and mediocre, and the qi is exhausted." But now we are still nominally in the Great Song Domain, so as long as the Jin army goes south, we should do our best to resist the Jin army and protect the army and the people! "The generals promised together, and this time even Uncle Zhang got up and promised together, it seems that he is very disappointed in Da Song in his heart, and he began to loosen his loyalty to Sanniang.

Another month passed, and the news of the war continued to come one after another, and the Zhang Jue incident had a great impact on the Liao generals Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, which not only made them greatly disappointed in the Song Dynasty, but also full of resentment. And Wang Anzhong of Yanshan Mansion also saw the negative impact of this incident on Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, and felt that he had treated Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other Liao generals at a loss. Therefore, he was very afraid that Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren would have opposing intentions, and he catered to Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren everywhere, and met the requirements of Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren. Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren and other troops have greatly increased their power, ** all the way to the military, recruiting more soldiers, known as 300,000.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe and the third year of Jin Tianhui, Jin General Zongwang led the army to Sanhe, Xuanfu made Wang Anzhong, and Zhizhou Cai Jing ordered Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren to lead 45,000 troops to meet the battle, and were defeated in Baihe. Zong Wang entered Yanshan, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren arrested Wang Anzhong, Cai Jing and other Yanshan officials, and Kaesong surrendered to Zong Wang. In this way, the states and counties of the eight states of Yannan that the Great Song Dynasty finally spent money to redeem were all trapped in gold.

After the news reached Shandong Road, Sanniang heard the news, and ordered the army and horses to step up preparations for war, and the discerning people understood that the Jin Kingdom was not just as simple as recapturing Yannan Bazhou, they had a great appetite. Judging from the news sent back by Guo Yaoshi on the Jin domestic line, the Jin army marched in parallel from the east and west, all the way south from Yanjing in the east, and all the way south from Taiyuan, just to hunt under Kaifeng City.

The Jin army continued to invade the Song Dynasty by two routes, east and west, ignoring the Song court's several envoys to sue for peace, the Western Route Army soon advanced to Taiyuan, and the Eastern Route Army continued to invade the south with the newly attached Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren as the vanguard.

When the Jin State invaded the Song Dynasty, the Eastern Route Army was met with stubborn resistance from the Song officers and soldiers stationed in Zhongshanfu, suffered setbacks, and suffered considerable losses. As a result, the Jin army adopted a strategy of bypassing Zhongshan Province and heading south, rapidly approaching the Yellow River.

Most of the soldiers sent by the Song Dynasty to defend the north bank of the Yellow River are the capital and the forbidden army and the box army, these military horses have not been in war for a long time, never trained, many soldiers do not even know how to ride horses, the enemy situation is unknown, when they heard that the Jin soldiers are coming, they fled in a hurry, and they collapsed without a fight.
