Chapter 811: Chickens Fly and Dogs Jump

Under the advice of Shangshu's left servant, Pingzhang's important military affairs, and Lin Wang Zheyan's quality, Emperor Zhao Jin issued an edict to change the Yuan, and this year was the first year of Jing'an.

This day is the eighteenth day of the first month of the first year of Jing'an, and according to the customs of the Han people, it is the fifteenth day of the first month, and the year is over. But in fact, the whole New Year was a festive atmosphere, even in the Jin Zhan District. This is Taiyuan Mansion, an important town in Hedong, and it is where the front line of Song and Jin is located. However, the tense atmosphere of the big festival has also been diluted by the joy of the New Year, and Taiyuan City is no longer under martial law as it was at the end of last year.

This is just a scene seen by the eyes of the common people, but the civil and military officials in Taiyuan have always tightened a string in their hearts. The news had already reached this place, and the ministers led by Taibao Wan Yan Liang launched a coup d'Γ©tat, killed Emperor Jin, and established himself as a respecter. The nobles of the court, especially the descendants of Taizu Miao and Wanyan Zonghan, were killed by a lot! It is said that three out of ten officials in the DPRK are killed!

It is said that he had listened to the use of Wanyan Liang in the past, and among the people who participated in the coup, there were also their fellow servants and families, and he should be happy to see it succeed. But for a long time, he has been nervous. Because, a few years ago, when Wan Yan Liang sat in Hedong as a minister of Qin, he once "offended" the new monarch, although they were all differences in military command, but who dared to guarantee that the new emperor would not remember old grudges?

Since he went down, many civil officials and military generals of the Jin State in Hedong were also panicked. Among them, either a relative was killed, or someone belonged to the imperial party, and after the news of the coup came, these people all hung their hearts, wondering if the catastrophe would befall them?

What is even more worried about is that if the news is learned by the one in Shaanxi, with his character and style, he will definitely not let go of this opportunity! There is a way to be afraid of what comes......

On the eighteenth day, Fusan Zhongyi was inspecting the war readiness of the three places of Taigu, Wenshui, and Qixian against the Song frontier according to his custom. When he arrived in Wenshui County, he suddenly heard a report that the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty had gathered in Fenzhou, and the former army had arrived in Guozha Town, which was only more than 80 miles away from Wenshui County! His entourage was shocked and persuaded him to hurry back to Taiyuan Mansion to command the resistance! And the servants were scattered and loyal and did not rush to run, and the Western Army was as elite as possible? Why? Isn't this just the conclusion of a peace treaty? Do you really want to take advantage of the internal strife in Dajin and want to go on a northern expedition?

Taking a closer look at the news, this Hedong Jin Shuai doesn't feel good. The Song army came here, with great momentum, and it was not clamoring to "expel Beiyi and return my rivers and mountains" as in previous years, but under the banner of avenging Emperor Jin! At first glance, this is just nonsense, Song Jin is the enemy of life and death, the Jin Emperor was killed, and the Jurchens were infighting, they should be snickering, why is it called the revenge of the Golden Emperor? But after thinking about it, it is not difficult to understand what kind of calculation Xu Wei is playing. Song and Jin just concluded a peace treaty and became a state of brothers, Emperor Jin was older as a brother, and Emperor Song was younger as a younger brother.

The Song army marched in the first month, and took this as a call, and the soldiers clearly felt that the army's morale was shaken. His subordinates actually persuaded him to hurry back to Taiyuan, on the surface, it seemed to be for his sake. In fact, he was afraid of fighting against the Song army and wanted to flee back to Taiyuan to hide. Despite this understanding, he returned in a hurry two days later. Not to mention that the Song army is strong, the frontier of these three counties will definitely not be able to resist, and the only way to hold on to Taiyuan City is to defend it. Just talking about the current situation, I don't know what the court will do, what are we fighting for in front of us?

As soon as the coach left, rumors suddenly spread in the Jin army stationed at the front of the three counties. The soldiers of the Jin Army, who didn't know about it, also knew that there was a coup d'Γ©tat in Yanjing, the emperors were all killed, and Taibao finished Yan Liang and sat in the country! He also said that the servant scattered loyalty and righteousness may not be tolerated by the new king, and sooner or later he will be cleaned up.

Where did this rumor come from, the front-line officers didn't have time to pay attention to it. They only know one thing, that is, the servants and scattered all deployed in the past, and they encountered this in the past, and they were definitely rooted in the front line and personally commanded. This time, he returned to Taiyuan in a hurry, is there no reason? At this time, the forward of the Song army arched forward, straight to Wenshui, in this way, a bad thing, the defenders of Wenshui County saw the Xu Ziqi, immediately abandoned the city and fled, the Jin army of Qi County next to it looked, there was a kind of example, the Taigu Jin army in the back saw how the brother troops of these two counties retreated? Ouch, it's not good, Grandpa Xu's army is coming! Ran away again!

This servant has just arrived in Taiyuan on the front foot, and the soldiers and horses in the three places in front of him have arrived on the back foot! You must know that this rising star of the Jin Army has always been known for being stern in the army, and it is an absolute capital crime to flee without a fight! But this time, he only dismissed and imprisoned the leading general, and did not sentence him to death.

The Song army did not need a knife or a shot, and went straight into the Taiyuan Basin, Yang Dashuai was stunned when he heard the military report, what happened? Not resisting? Hey, Brother Jiu is the Ninth Brother in the end, when I received the order, I thought, how can it be so easy, no matter how bad the Jin Army is, it is also a division of a hundred battles that has fought for so many years, how can I be intimidated by you? But now it seems that it's not good! The three counties on the front line fled without a fight, so I will try it again in Taiyuan? If Taiyuan Mansion can also be at your fingertips, it will be so beautiful! Thinking so, Yang Yan gave a military order, and the army went straight to Taiyuan!

said that it was a big army, but in fact, he didn't bring many troops at all this time, the Yongxing army only dispatched less than 15,000 horses, and the rest were filled by the Hedong garrison, a total of less than 40,000 people, and it was claimed to be 190,000!

This servant was loyal and righteous and was thinking of countermeasures, and the Song army followed the soldiers to Taiyuan. In this way, he made up his mind. No matter who is the emperor, as a front-line commander, if he does not retreat without a fight and lose the city, then there will be no good fruit to eat when he goes back to Yanjing. If Wan Yanliang is about to do something to himself, doesn't this just give him an excuse? There is only one thing I can do now, defend Taiyuan City!

But when he thinks so, the soldiers under his command may not be of the same mind as him. My family and relatives have all been slaughtered by Wanyan Liang, and I am still here to guard the city for him? it! Lao Tzu might as well vote for Xu Wei, so he can survive!

Just as the servants were arranging the defense of the city, several officers took advantage of the chaos of the mobilization to go out of the city and join the Song army! Although the soldiers and horses brought with him were only hundreds or thousands, the impact was extremely bad and greatly shook the morale of the army! Fusan Zhongyi knew that the situation this time was even more sinister than the last time Xu Wei personally led a large army to Kou Taiyuan! Thinking about this, he made a ruthless move, beheaded the main officers who escaped from the front and showed it to the public, and sternly warned the generals that only by holding Taiyuan can we have a way to live! Otherwise, no matter what, it's a dead end!

While arranging to defend the city, he urgently reported to Yanjing!

As soon as the one-eyed tiger arrived, Taiyuan was in chaos, and the Datong Mansion on the other end was not much better. The red-haired tiger Xu Hong led his troops to set off from Fengzhou, and actually crossed the Yellow River without encountering any resistance, saying "flee from the wind", but after the Yan army crossed the Yellow River, it never encountered the Jin army at all, and it had already fled without a trace! Xu Hong is even more puzzled than Yang Yan! No, last time I came, it was a hard fight! If there is no resistance this time, what will happen to the Jin Kingdom? His vanguard galloped for 200 miles, and more than 100 miles away from Datong Mansion, he finally met the Jin army. After a battle, the forward officer only had one feeling, Jin Jun was shaking a shot and running away! No, I have to arch forward again, I haven't seen what Datong City is like.

The two roads reported the emergency and quickly delivered it to Yanjing City.

"Xu Wei! Piff! When I stabilize the situation, I will not rest with you! "In Yanjing Palace, Wanyan Liang is like thunder! The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom, who had just sat on the throne, kicked over the short table in front of him, and the green tendons on his forehead were rising, obviously angry!

In the hall, they are all cronies who are acting with him, including Tang Kuobi, Wanyan Bingde, Wanyan Yanyan, and Li Laoseng, and now these people are all in important positions, and they have been promoted to the rank of knight.

The former concubine Tang Kuo was stunned for a moment, shook his head and said: "Your Majesty, if he doesn't give up with Xu Wei and let go, how can he pass this level now?" ”

"How did he know so quickly?" Wanyan Bingde has always been puzzled. What we only did last year, he sent troops to commit it in the first month, this is too fast, right?

"Yelu Mawu's troops have been withdrawn from Shandong, and he can be ordered to go to Datong to meet the enemy." Wan Yanyan suggested.

Tang Kuo's head shook even more violently when he heard this: "Yelu Ma Wu's troops, not a single soldier can move. Don't you know what's going on now? ”

It turned out that after Yan Liang killed the monarch and usurped the throne and killed the nobles, the government and the opposition of the Jin Kingdom were shaken! Some of the princes and generals who followed Jin Taizu and Jin Taizong in the past were ready to move, and Wan Yanliang spent a lot of effort to win over and divide them, and kill chickens and monkeys, so they pressed down. But after pressing down the gourd and getting up again, the Bohai people, who had just moved to the south of Yanjing, were restless recently, taking the opportunity to make trouble, and clamoring to go back to Liaodong. It is a threat to the imperial court! The elite of the Jin army led by Yelu Ma Wu must not be transferred out of Yanjing, otherwise, once the Bohai people make trouble, the consequences will be unimaginable!

But if Ma Wu's troops do not move, the garrison in the direction of Datong may not be able to resist the offensive of the Western Army! Xu Wei took advantage of the fire to rob this time, and came prepared, didn't you hear, people claim to be revenge for the "King of Dongdu", how do you let the front-line Jin Army soldiers deal with themselves? The Bohai Navy must not be able to adjust, and as far as the eye can see, there are almost no available soldiers!

"Your Majesty, there is a sentence that the minister has to say. This Song army took the opportunity to invade the north, Xu Wei is only one aspect, and the south is probably ......" Old monk Li didn't finish speaking, because he saw that the monarchs and ministers in the hall all changed their faces.

That's right, the Song army tore up and the covenant to invade, and the first to move must be the southern armies, who have already won the Central Plains and Shandong, and are bound to cross the Yellow River and attack Hebei. Xu Weiyuan is in Sichuan and Shaanxi, and his actions must be behind the Southern Song Army! How good is that? The Song army came too fast, and there was no time to prepare the arrangement!

Wanyan Liang's teeth are about to grind out powder, if Xu Wei is in front of him at this time, he will definitely eat that guy alive! can be angry, Wan Yanliang knows that he can't help Xu Jiu at all. Sitting down with a pair of blood-red eyes, Emperor Dajin began to think hard about countermeasures!

He had a hunch that if he was not careful this time, it was very likely that the chicken would fly and the egg would be beaten! If it's not good, he will be "trapped internally and externally" and "attacked from both sides", which is not yet a hot throne......

Beat! There's no way to fight! Song Jin had just concluded a peace treaty, and the Jin army was completely unprepared! What's more, there has been a change of dynasty, and the people of the Jin Kingdom are unstable, who still has the leisure to fight? The most hateful, Xu Wei, a bastard, is actually under the banner of avenging the abolished emperor! It's righteous! But what if you don't fight? Could it be that he watched him attack Yanjing? In the south, he has already hit the city of Taiyuan, and in the north, he is about to reach Datong Mansion, and he wants people's lives!

"What is the reward for servant loyalty?" Wan Yanliang asked suddenly.

Wanyan Bingde thought for a while and said, "Your Majesty has no edict. ”

"Seal! Feng Servant San Zhongyi is the Duke of Jin, the right deputy marshal! The generals under his command will be rewarded together! Strictly order them to hold Taiyuan! As long as you keep it, I will reward you later! Wan Yanliang gritted his teeth and said. He knows very well that there will be brave men under the heavy reward, and I hope that the loyalty of the servant can block the pace of the western army going north!

After Yan Bingde responded, he said: "Your Majesty, this is only one side of the solution, how can the Song army approaching Datong Mansion deal with it?" ”

Wan Yanliang showed a painful expression on his face, in fact, the Western Army approaching Datong Mansion was the most threatening! To the east of Datong, it is Yanjing! The Datong garrison has tens of thousands of people, and if it is peacetime, let alone defeat, there is no problem in blocking the enemy. But the current situation is so specific, no one dares to guarantee the ticket!

Tang Kuobi's eyes lit up, and he suddenly said, "Your Majesty, the minister has an idea. ”

"Speak quickly!" Hearing this, Wan Yanliang's eyes brightened!

"During the reign of King Dongdu, he began to implement the southward migration of Bohai, but in fact, the vast majority of Bohai people were reluctant to leave their hometown. Now they are taking the opportunity to make trouble, and they also want to return to their homeland. It's better to let them go to Datong to block the Western Army! Tang Kuo argued.

The ministers thought he had some good idea, but it turned out to be this? Wan Yanyan immediately objected: "The current situation is like this, how can the Bohai Navy be allowed to resist the Song army?" If something happens at the front, it's a catastrophe! ”

"Listen to me! It's not to let the Bohai people fight in vain, as long as they can defeat the Western Army, why not let them go back to Liaodong? Now that 100,000 are in a hurry, I can't take care of a lot! Tang Kuo argued.

Wan Yanliang pondered in his mind, although the Bohai people are making trouble now, but after all, it is internal strife, and compared with external troubles, it is clear who is lighter and who is heavier. Even if the Bohai people are dissatisfied with themselves, they will not be stupid enough to help the Song army, which is indeed a way. But there is one thing, the Bohai people have now moved to the Hebei region, and it is too late to organize them to go to the front? Also, if the Bohai people are transferred, what will happen to Hebei? What to take to resist the Southern Song army?

Just when Yan Liang and his ministers were calling for the sky and grabbing the earth, a piece of music made them settle down. This book is on Xiao Yushang, he is Wan Yan Liang's old man, last year's peace, he was appointed by Wan Yan Liang, and actually represents the Jin country. So after Yan Liang ascended the throne, he did not forget him. He was immediately appointed as the prefect of Nanjing and the daimyo prefect. Xiao Yu didn't say anything else in this book, but just routinely reported to the court what he was going to do this year.

But from the emperor to the ministers, no one cares what plans he has this year, they only care about the same. How? Is the Daimyo's Mansion okay? You must know that if the Southern Song Army goes on a northern expedition, the first to bear the brunt will be the Daimyo's Mansion! But Xiao Yu does not mention Song Jun in this book, and judging from the date of his last book, it can at least be concluded that four days ago, the daimyo was still fine! But that's weird! If the Southern Dynasties launched a large-scale northern expedition, the first to start the attack would definitely be Hebei! Now there is no movement in the south, and Xu Wei, who is far away in the west, is jumping up and down! What is the reason for this?

As soon as the monarch and the ministers totaled, they roughly guessed it. This time, there is nothing to do with the Southern Song Army, it's his mother's Xu Jiu who is mischievous! Thinking about it like this, Jin Guojunchen breathed a sigh of relief! But immediately, my heart rose to my throat again! The Southern Song Army can not take it seriously, but the Western Army has always been the most feared by the Dajin Kingdom! Hey, how did Xu Jiu act without permission? They didn't know the news before the court did it, so he raised troops?

After being explained, Wan Yanliang knew that it turned out that the king of the Great Song County had been running Sichuan and Shaanxi for many years, and he was already a prince, and the Song court estimated that he would not be able to take him. Moreover, it is said that Xu Wei's yamen is called the "Xuanfu Disposal Division", and he has the right to act cheaply, to put it bluntly, he has the final say in the Western Army! Hit you if you want to!

After thinking about it again and again, there was no countermeasure. At this time, Wanyan Bingde reminded him that Yelu Ma Wu had a lot of dealings with Xu Wei, and he was the only one among the generals of the Jin Army who had defeated the Purple Golden Tiger, and he knew Xu Wei very well, so why not ask him? After waking up like a dream, he urgently summoned Ma Wu to see him.

Yelu Ma Wu was originally classified as Wanyan Zonghan's party. For this reason, after the fall of Yan Zonghan, he has been shelved and cannot be used. Later, it was Wan Yan Liang who reinstated him, made great contributions in Shandong, and defeated the Liu brothers. After Yan Liang became emperor, of course, it was impossible to ignore him, a high-ranking official, and he was extremely honored.

And Ma Wu is now learning to be obedient, and he deeply feels that he can't get through the muddy waters of politics, so after Yan Liang killed the monarch and usurped the throne, he strictly restrained his subordinates, and no one was allowed to act rashly, not even to talk about it. Even, in order to avoid possible trouble, after Yan Liang usurped the throne, he immediately wrote a letter, saying that he would hand over the military power and become an idle official in Yanjing. Wan Yanliang certainly understood what he meant, and his kind words comforted him to dispel his doubts.

In fact, in this process, there are also people who come to contact him, hoping to use the elite Jin Army in his hands to punish the thief! Who this thief is, it goes without saying! Ma Wu is a knife cut tofu on both sides, he neither fell to these people who opposed Wan Yan Liang, nor did he tell Wan Yan Liang, no one can be offended, with the mentality of riding a donkey and reading the record book, he will wait and watch the changes in the situation, left and right, anyway, I don't participate!

Therefore, when the palace attendants came to urgently summon him to the palace to see him, Yelu Ma Wu beat a small drum in his heart, and it was over! Did the news of those people contacting me leak out? Now that the incident has happened, the emperor wants to get rid of me?
