Chapter 9 The Siege of the City Refugees Came to Many Alliances and Countries, Cause and Effect
Seeing the formation of the Song army, Mu Han sighed: "If the Song army in the Central Plains is like this, Song Jin will always be a brotherly state, and the idea of going south must not be raised." Jin Wushu was also dumbfounded, before he only saw a little Liangshan military horses in Tian Hu, just because when Jin Wushu participated in the war, he saw most of Tian Hu's troops to fight, and he had never seen such a powerful Liangshan Song army, at this time, he also sighed: "What a young man, a good woman, not only trained a group of Central Plains heroes to be as loyal as cats, but also trained his military horses like tigers and wolves, and is really a strong opponent of my Jin country." ”
Speaking of this, Jin Wushu comforted Mu Han again and said: "I heard that the Song army has been repeatedly defeated by Liangshan, and the marshal is at ease, most of the Song army in the Central Plains must be inferior to the elite of the Song army in Liangshan." And no matter how elite the Liangshan Song army is, it is just a soldier of Shandong Road, if it invades the south in the future, it will be a national war, how can her army and horses stop my whole country? ”
Sticky Han could only say: "I hope so." Seeing that the Song army transported grain and grass into the city, Mu Han said: "The Song army really sent grain and grass into the city, it seems that the Song people are determined to win Yanjing, and they do not hesitate to use heavy grain and grass to teach our army to besiege and not attack, and send grain and grass into the city to teach the Liao people to hold on longer." ”
Jin Wushu said: "The Song people have been trying to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun since Song Taizu, and the sixteen states of Yanyun are headed by this Yanjing, and Yanjing is definitely going to be recovered, otherwise if you form an alliance with my Dajin, where will it come in vain?" ”
Sticky Han said yes, the two watched together in front of the army, and an hour later, the grain and grass were sent into the city, and Sticky Han smiled: "The Song people sent this lot of grain and grass into the city, aren't they afraid that when they attack in the future, they will move stones and shoot themselves in the foot?" Jin Wushu said with a smile: "Teach the Liao people to eat and drink enough, so that they can watch the two families fight." They both laughed.
After sending the grain and grass, there were Han businessmen and merchants in the city one after another, and they were all Han businessmen on Shandong Road in the Central Plains, all of whom brought their families and luggage, and the Han people were not too cumbersome, and everything that could be taken away was brought out.
Sticky Han looked bored, and only said: "Alas, these should have been my Dajin's people and what they have gained." That's it, don't look at it, and go back. The next two collected their troops and went back to the camp.
On the other side, seeing that the Jin army was retreating, Lin Chong sent an order to Yang Tinghe in front of him and said: "The Jin people have retreated, and the Liao people who are going to leave the city should generally go quickly." On the same day, Zheng Ying and other Shandong Road merchants stranded in the north were picked up from Yanjing City, and many Han people and a Liao people in the north were also picked up, and most of those Liao people were the family members, old and weak women and children of the Liao people in Yanjing, and the total number reached more than 20,000 people, which was two or three times more than originally expected.
After returning to the camp, after counting the number of people, Lin Chong was stunned for a moment, and only muttered: "Pick up these many people, is our boat enough to sit?" ”
As soon as Yang Tinghe returned to the camp, he was stopped by Lin Chong, and asked after a pause: "Only a few thousand people have come, but twenty or thirty thousand people have come, how can our sea boat seat so many people?" Yang Tinghe also knew that there were too many people who took it out, so he scratched his head and said: "Just because the Emperor of Northern Liao pleaded to take some of the old and weak women and children in his city out of the city together, and they were so relieved to guard the city, I agreed, but I didn't want to have so much." ”
Lin Chong looked at him, and also knew that he was embarrassed by this errand, in the besieged city, everyone wanted to leave, and the Northern Liao Emperor personally spoke, and he was forced to bring out these many people. After thinking for a while, Lin Chong suddenly said: "Since this is the case, then I will wait for the land military horses to be temporarily stationed here, leaving enough grain and grass, and all the empty ships will be loaded with these people, so that they can go back to Shandong Road first." ”
Yang Tinghe hurriedly asked, "Then how do we go back?" Lin Chong smiled and said: "We are the official army of the Great Song Dynasty, and now that we have formed an alliance with the Jin State, why not go back by land with a swagger?" If the Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers don't let us pass the three levels, we will fight back! ”
The two agreed, and then raised the account and told the generals about it, and the generals said that they didn't have to take a boat back, so they took the land route back to Shandong Road, and the Liangshan army and horses on land, the three armies of Ma Bugong were no less than 30,000 people, what else are you afraid of?
It was agreed at the moment, Lin Chong sent Yang Tinghe to report to Sanniang on the Liqing, and Yang Tinghe received the military order and went to the Liqing to report on the boat.
When I arrived on the deck of the Liqing, I saw that there were many more Song court officers and soldiers here, although the uniforms of the Liangshan Song army and the Great Song Dynasty were all red, and the style was generally the same, but the hats on the heads were very different, the Song court officials and soldiers were red helmets, while the helmets of Liangshan were blue, and the Song court officers and soldiers were not as elite as the Liangshan soldiers and horses at a glance, and they could be seen at a glance.
Seeing that those Great Song Dynasty officials and soldiers were also carrying the Qincha brand, Yang Tinghe was very strange, and hurriedly asked a junior colonel beside him: "What Qincha is here?" The little school said, "I heard that it's an angel from Tokyo." Yang Tinghe Qi said: "Why did the angels from Tokyo come here?" ”
As he spoke, Qiao Daoqing came out to greet Yang Tinghe and said, "The lord ordered me to welcome you in." Yang Tinghe asked, "What angel is coming?" Qiao Daoqing said with a smile: "It is the Taiwei of Suyuan Jingsu from Tokyo, who was a great favor to us in Liangshan Zhao'an. Yang Tinghe Qi said: "How did you get here?" Qiao Daoqing said: "It's a long story, talk while walking." ”
In the first month, after Fang La saw Liang Shan to make Huang Wenbing, he listened to the strategy of Lou Minzhong and Ke Yin of the pseudonym Yue Fei, so he took Huang Wenbing's middle strategy, and ordered the general Shi Bao to be the commander, leading an army of 30,000 to break through the encirclement of the Song army, intending to let Shi Bao's army and horses maneuver on the outside line and harass the Song army. But they didn't want Song Jun Tong Guan, Zong Ze and others to get Yue Fei's secret report, so they had already prepared, divided their troops to intercept Shi Bao, and concentrated heavy troops to besiege Hangzhou.
Hangzhou was already tired of soldiers and horses, and was siphoned off 30,000 military horses by Shi Bao, and the strength was even more insufficient, after a few days of fierce attack by the Song army, Hangzhou was broken, and the remnants of the soldiers retreated to Qingxi Gangyuandong under the leadership of Fang Jie, Lou Min and others.
Fang La heard that Hangzhou was broken, and ordered Ma Ke to lead and Fang Mingjiao to fight, but he was defeated and returned, Fang La knew that the general trend had gone, and committed suicide by taking poison three days later, and before his death, Fang Jie, the former general of Jinwu in the palace, protected the prince Fang Tianding, Princess Jinzhi, Lou Minzhong, Pang brothers and sisters, Li Kui, Yan Qing, etc., and fled with a civil and military family. Later, Fang Jie, Lou Minzhong and Huang Wenbing converged, and Huang Wenbing attracted Sanruan's privateer fleet and took the remnants of thousands of Fang La. And the right prime minister Zu Shiyuan led the remnants of a righteous army to defend the source cave of the Qingxi Gang, and finally because Yue Fei defected, the source cave of the Qingxi Gang was broken, Zu Shiyuan and other righteous troops were all killed in battle, and Yue Fei gathered the remnants like Zongze's army to surrender.
At this point, the Jiangnan rebellion that had plagued the Song court for three years was finally put down, and Tong Guan, who got the news of pacifying the Jiangnan rebellion, immediately wrote to Emperor Daojun, asking Lianjin to attack Liao and recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, which had been lost for more than 100 years.
In the Song Dynasty, Cai Jing rose up again, and he had to restore the phase, so he led the alliance with Jin to attack Liao and attack the remnants of Liao. Although Emperor Daojun was a literati, he also hoped to complete the feat of recovering the sixteen states of Yanyun in his hands, and at the same time heard that the Liao army had been beaten to death by the Jin army, but he was afraid that the army would be late and the Great Song Dynasty would be unprofitable.
And the emperor of the Jin State was extremely ambitious, and at this moment the Liao State was already vulnerable, and after the destruction of the Liao State, the Jin State directly bordered the Great Song Dynasty. As the male lord of the Jurchen generation, he is also a far-sighted person, and the Jin State will be friends and enemies with the Song State in the future, and he has already begun to plan.
The Central Plains of the Song Dynasty has always been the coveted place of the northern tribes, the north is bitter and cold, and it is not as rich as the Central Plains.
It is when I heard that the Great Song Dynasty finally agreed to join the Jin to invade Liao, Ah Guta was naturally very happy, if the Great Song Dynasty sent troops to send elite military horses, one could let the Song army and the remnants of the Liao army fight, as the Liao army did not want to fight the trapped beasts, the Jurchens did not want to spend more military strength, the Song army came to fight with the Liao army, and the Jin army watched from the wall. Second, let's see how the Song army's combat strength and tactics are, if the Song army can't even fight the Liao army, the Jin State will be sure to invade the south in the future, but if the Song army is strong, the Jin army might as well reconcile with the Song State, become a brotherly state, and open trade with each other.
As for the sixteen states of Yanyun and Yanjing, the Jurchens do not value these lands, the land they snatched from the Liao State is already a hundred times larger than the original land of the Jin State, if the Song army is strong, it is okay to give up the sixteen states of Yanyun, anyway, those lands are not the original land of the Jurchens, and the Jurchens value population, money and grain more at this time.
It was a covenant between the two families, and the Great Song Dynasty gave the Jurchens a sum of money and grain, and asked the Jurchens to postpone the attack on Yanjing and other Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, which was the land of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun that had been occupied, and the Great Song Dynasty could also pay a ransom fee, and the Jurchens would get money and grain, and the Great Song would get land. And the population on it has long been plundered by the Jurchens, and if they get a sum of money and food to give up the empty city, Ah Guta naturally agreed.
After the two families formed an alliance, they each sent Qin to tell the troops and horses from all over the country, and the Great Song Dynasty hurriedly prepared the troops and horses to go north. But after the Song Dynasty signed the alliance, it was only then that it was thought that the most elite military horses in their own country were all in the south of the Yangtze River, even if Fang La had surrendered, but after these military horses gathered and rested, it would take three months to go north to the sixteen states of Yanyun at the earliest, as for the Tokyo Forbidden Army and the local Xiang Army in the north, there was no need to count on it, they were even big in the green forest, how could they go on the Northern Expedition?
In the end, Su Yuanjing proposed that it was better to let Shandong Lu Fan Town send troops, and first responded to the covenant and sent troops north, so as to teach the Jurchens not to occupy more cities. Second, the Liangshan Song army has always been elite, and it can also teach the Jurchens not to underestimate it.
However, Cai Jing and his party were worried that the Shandong Road Army and Horses would occupy the land and not leave, and they would repeat the old incident of Zhengtian Hu blackmailing the imperial court, so they opposed it. After Su Yuanjing tried hard a few times, Cai Jing exchanged Tong Guan letters, which only said a few words: "Liangshan is powerful, and the soldiers and horses are abundant, why don't you teach him to fight with the Liao army and kill people with a knife!"
