Chapter 40 A hundred miles away from the city, the battle in the east and a thousand strategies are difficult in the west

Hearing this, He Li and Sun Fu were taken aback, and He Li said with some embarrassment: "That female Xuanfu soldiers and horses only defeated the Jin soldiers a few days ago, and she is the only Qinwang army and horse on the side, so I am afraid it will be inappropriate to teach her to lead the army away." Pen Fun Pavilion www.biquge.info"

Guo Jing wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth and said: "In this case, the two of you will ask Gao Ming, although the poor road has some mana, but it is also not against the sky, originally in this trip to the Liujia Divine Soldiers, there are many people with impure fate, and the strong luck magic array is already a folded lifespan, if someone wants to block the purple qi coming from the east, I am here to force the magic array, I am afraid of dying on the spot." ”

He Li and Sun Fu persuaded for a long time, Guo Jing only insisted on leaving, and in the end, He Li and Sun Fu couldn't, He Li gritted his teeth and said: "Guo Zhenren, you dare to swear to the heavenly gambling curse, if we wait for the imperial court to drive away the Shandong Road military horses, you will definitely be able to scatter beans into soldiers here and defeat the Jin soldiers?" ”

Guo Jing immediately pointed to the sky and swore an oath: "If I, Guo Jing, can't drive away the Jin soldiers, teach me that I will never recover!" Seeing that Guo Jing made an oath, He Li and Sun Fu immediately said: "Okay, let's go to the palace to ask for a decree." At that moment, the two of them entered the palace together

When he arrived in the palace, Qin Zong was waiting for good news, and when he saw the two coming, he hurriedly asked: "The right talent has changed color, I think the method of sprinkling beans into soldiers has been completed." The two shook their heads, and then said the situation of the right talent, and finally said what Guo Jing had invited.

He Li said: "Your Majesty, now the Shandong Road army and horses have won a few battles outside the city, but there are more than 100,000 Jin soldiers, and there are more than 200,000 Jin troops in the East Road, and there will be more than 200,000 Jin troops, and there are only 30,000 Shandong Road military horses, it is difficult to resist the Jin army, and the only hope now is in Guo Zhenren's body, according to the minister's opinion, if you agree to Guo Zhenren's request, drive away the Shandong Road army and horses to a hundred miles away, so as to solve the distress of the capital." ”

Sun Fu also said: "Exactly, the only way to do this is to fight hard, and Guo Zhenren swore to the sky that he would be able to become this magic circle, Your Majesty, don't lose a big one because of a small one." ”

Qin Zong was irritable, and walked back and forth in the hall a few times, Sun Fu saw that he was difficult to make up his mind, and couldn't help but mention: "Your Majesty, that female feudal lord has different ambitions, she has more than 100,000 troops and horses in Shandong, why only 30,000 Qin Wang?" You have to guard against her intentions. As soon as these words came out, Qinzong stood still, gritted his teeth and said: "Make an order, teach the Shandong Road military horses to retreat a hundred miles, and wait for the will!" ”

The imperial court ordered the military horses of the eastern road domain to retreat a hundred miles, and when the decree reached the camp, the three armies were all sad and indignant, and they all scolded the court for being mediocre. Sanniang was not in a hurry, obeyed the order, and ordered the holy decree to be widely known to everyone, and then ordered the army to retreat and garrison in Dongwu County, a hundred miles away from Kaifeng City.

After the Sanniang army retreated, the Jin army, Wanyan Zonghan fell ill, and the deputy generals of each army led the army to defend the camp, but they did not attack the seal for more than ten days, but in the Jin camp, they rushed to make all kinds of siege equipment, but they did not stop day and night. On the other side, Wanyan Zongwang, the East Route Army of the Jin Army, also led a large army to cross the Yellow River, led 100,000 troops to the city, and stationed in Liujia Temple on the periphery of Kaifeng. The two armies of the Jin army converged, more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, known as 400,000, the east, west and north of Kaifeng City are all the Jin army joint camp, climb the city and look, only to see the Jin army joint camp as far as the eye can see, it is really terrifying.

Zong Wang at this time has been in charge of the Jin army soldiers and horses, he only arranged the east, west and north three sides of the siege, is the siege of three missing one of the way of play, although the south does not seem to be the Jin army camp siege, but the Jin army is mostly cavalry, the south sent dozens of sentry spouts, only to find out that there is a Song army out of the city in the south, the Jin army cavalry will definitely surround and gather and annihilate it. This arrangement, just because the Jin army is far stronger than the Song army in the field, after several field battles, the Song army is all defeated and lost, because the Jin army prefers to drink the Song army to fight field battles, so the city gate in the south is not besieged, hoping that the Song army will break through from the south, then it is in the arms of the Jin army and annihilate the Song army outside the city.

Seeing that the Jin army was gathering more and more, He Li and Sun Fu were all uneasy, and Emperor Qinzong was even more afraid of chaos. In the palace, Qinzong asked why the military horses in the Tongguan Seed Division had not yet arrived, and at one time asked where the military horses of Shandong Lufan Town had arrived, and at another time asked why King Kang, who had gone north to negotiate peace with the Jin people, had not yet sent back news, and then asked why Guo Xianren had not begun to cast spells and borrow troops, and then asked again if since there was no Jin army camp in the south to besiege the city, whether he could arrange for the forbidden army to escort him and the clan to break through from the south gate.

Faced with Qinzong's problem, He Li and Sun Fu wiped their sweat and returned at the same time. I only heard He Liyu say: "Back to Your Majesty, that kind of division has been storming Tongguan for several days, but General Jin Wanyan Lou led 30,000 Jin troops to hold on, and it is difficult to break through, and Tongguan has been snowing heavily for several days recently, so it is even more difficult to advance an inch." "Now it is the beginning of winter, and it has snowed heavily in Tongguan for several days, which makes it more difficult for the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty to attack Tongguan, and it is impossible to count on the Western Army in the short term.

Qinzong's heart was half cold, it seems that the elite Western Army that the Great Song Dynasty has been relying on can't be counted on, at this time Qinzong began to regret a little, why did he transfer the Western Army at the beginning of the year. Sun Fu said again: "Shandong Lu Fan Town's 30,000 military horses have arrived in Dongwu County, although it is 100 miles away from the capital, but the Jin army is 400,000, and she only has 30,000 military horses there. ”

Qin Zong hurriedly asked: "I heard that she brought more than 100,000 armor in Shandong, can you teach her to send more military horses to King Qin?" Sun Fu said: "This will can be made, but I am afraid that it will take a month to come and go, and I don't know if I can wait that long." Qin Zong said irritably: "No matter how much, I decreed that the female Xuanfu envoy would send an additional 100,000 troops and horses to King Qin." ”

Qinzong began to regret it again at this time, if he had let the army of Shandong Lufan Town come to the rescue, why did it come to this point? But after thinking about it, this female thief is still unreliable, if she leads more than 100,000 troops to Kaifeng and does what Dong Zhuo did back then, the Great Song Dynasty will die if she does not die.

He Li said again: "King Kang came a few days ago, saying that he arrived in Cizhou, just because Zong Ze persuaded him in Cizhou, King Yi Kang stayed in Cizhou and did not go to negotiate peace. Qin Zong frowned and said, "Lao Jiu, why didn't he follow the order to negotiate peace?" ”

Sun Fu said: "Your Majesty Mingjian, the ministers and others have discussed, Zong Ze also came to the table, it is clear that this trip to the Jin people has no discussion and sincerity, and there are more and more rebels against the Jin people in various places, even if they can negotiate peace, the Jin people will definitely cede more land such as Hebei, and the military and civilians will inevitably not obey the edict, so it is better to teach King Kang to be in Hebei, collect the righteous army and the military horses of various departments, and come to King Qin. ”

He Li also persuaded him, just because the two were the main battle faction, they did not agree with the peace negotiation from the beginning, and they both persuaded Qinzong at this time. In the end, Qinzong was persuaded, and immediately named Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, as the generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses, and Zong Ze and Wang Boyan as deputy marshals, and ordered them to go to the king of Jingqin with Hebei soldiers and horses.

Sun Fu said again: "That Guo Immortal injured the immortal body a few days ago, said that he would raise it for a few days, and looked at the ecliptic hour, and said that he could only go to the altar to cast spells the day after tomorrow." Qin Zong became irritable and asked, "Is it possible for the forbidden army to hold these two days?" He Li and Sun Fu glanced at each other, both of them were embarrassed: "I'm afraid that I can't catch it." ”

It was only because the imperial court ordered to drive away the military horses on the Shandong Road, and the tens of thousands of military horses of the forbidden army saw that foreign aid was lost, and the imperial court believed in Guo Jing's divine soldiers, which led to the recent low morale of the forbidden army. For a long time, the imperial court decree was changed overnight, and the war was uncertain, from the Qinwang military horse was ordered not to go to Beijing, to the Sanniang military horse was ordered to be driven away, the prestige of the Song court has been reduced to the lowest point in the hearts of the people, the army and the people, and it is normal to have no fighting spirit.

Qin Zong was also scared in the end, and said: "In that case, how about moving the capital?" There is no Jin army camp at the south gate, so the forbidden army was ordered to escort Luan and the clan from the south gate, and how about moving the capital south to Nanjing? ”

Although He Li and Sun Fu have no military talent, they still understand a little bit of common sense, and the two of them were taken aback at the moment, and persuaded together: "Your Majesty, don't have this idea at this moment, although there is no Jin army stationed at the south gate, but the Jin army is a cavalry army, and my forbidden army is mostly a foot army. If we lose the strong city in the wilderness, we will not be the opponents of the Jinren. ”

Qin Zong was frustrated, and secretly thought in his heart: "Maybe Cai Jing and the emperor have already discussed moving the capital, which is not a bad thing." But now it's too late to regret it, speaking of the demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, the reason is actually that the Song Dynasty itself made too many mistakes, and these mistakes are added together, and the result is irreparable. From the beginning of Lianjin's destruction of Liao, to the acceptance of the rebel generals of the Jin State, to the uncertain war, to the dismissal of the Qinwang army, and then to the abandonment of the Yellow River to fight against the Jin army, the Song court made mistakes again and again, and now it is the end of the road. In the final analysis, the Northern Song Dynasty was killed by two mediocre emperors, but the root cause of their death was that both of them were artists rather than competent emperors, and artists were usually emotional rather than rational, so the two factions of the ministers below struggled, they were usually soft-eared, and listened to the main war minister for a while, and listened to the lord and the minister for a while, and the result was like this.

Seeing that Qin Zong was depressed, He Li and Sun Fu were relieved: "Your Majesty is relieved, the ministers will go to supervise the army, and they must hold these two days, Guo Xianren's practice of opening the altar the day after tomorrow will definitely reverse the situation!" Qin Zong sighed, now he can only count on Guo Jing, but is Guo Jing reliable?

But after Yan Zongwang finished arranging the military, he also visited Zong Han, who was sick. Zong Han was especially incapable of governing on the sickbed, Zong Wang saw it, although he often competed with him for military merits, but he still admired Zong Han, and said at the moment: "The old marshal is at ease, our army will be able to break through Kaifeng in this battle." Zong Han shook his head and said: "It's easy to break through Kaifeng, now you have to pay more attention to the east, Shandong Road and Fan Town, where is the lifeline of our army." Looking back on the two trips to the Song Dynasty, it seems that the Shandong Road Domain Town has left one hand, and has not gone all out to confront our army, so it is necessary to prevent her from being outstanding. ”

Zong Wang responded, but he didn't think much of it in his heart, and secretly thought: "That female thief is in a safe corner, she just wants to keep her Shandong, and after our army captures Kaifeng and settles the Central Plains, the army will press the border, see what else she can do?" ”
