Chapter 4 Pro-Conscription and Dispatch of Troops, Li Yun's Chaos and Chapters
(Thanks for the reward of the mystery monologue~)
The Immortal Pavilion of "Flower Thousand Bone" is so awesome, and my Changchun Hall is also awesome.
——————————————
From the fifth day of the first month of the first month of Jianlong (960) to the end of March, above the imperial court, Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty was peaceful in all places, Yuan Yan did not rebel, Xiang Gong did not rebel, Zhang Yongde did not rebel, Fu Yanqing did not rebel, and he Li Yun has now been agreed by the Han lord Liu Jun, as long as Li Yun raised troops, the Han State will send troops south.
In Luzhou, the Zhaoyi Army made Li Yun finally pull up the banner of rebellion.
……
Kaifeng, above the court meeting, Li Yun's rebellion finally returned to the capital.
When Zhao Dezhao heard this, he said in his heart: As in history, Li Yun finally rebelled, and it is a difficult point to end this rebellion as soon as possible.
If Li Chongjin was smart, he would have taken advantage of Li Yun's rebellion in the north to lead the army to Kaifeng, which would be a different situation, and in fact it would have proved that Li Chongjin was not a matter of concern.
Li Yun's rebellion was well known to the court, and this battle was the first battle after the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and at this moment, thanks to Zhao Kuangyin's proper pacification, the situation in the court and China was quite stable.
Above the imperial court, regarding the army, it was believed that if Li Yun's rebels led a large army to advance to the southwest, crossed the Taihang Mountain, occupied the Tiger Prison Pass, and defended Luoyang, Kaifeng would be in danger.
In this regard, all the ministers of civil and military affairs in the court were worried, and Zhao Kuangyin, who was sitting on the dragon chair, regretted why he did not detain Li Yun's son Li Shoujie in Jingshi, which could also ease the situation a little.
However, now that Li Yun has rebelled, it is the best policy for the imperial court to send troops to suppress it.
So, on April 19 of the first year of Jianlong (960), Zhao Kuangyin ordered the guards Shi Shouxin and the palace army Gao Huaide to lead the army to march from the west road to defeat Li Yun, and join Murong Yanzhao and Wang Quanbin and others in the north to lead the army to quell the rebellion.
On the same day, the army was assembled, and the counterinsurgency army left Kaifeng City and marched west to Luzhou.
……
And at this moment, the land of Yangzhou in the south
The rebellion of Li Yun in Luzhou against the Song court reached Li Chongjin's ears, and he was very happy to hear about it.
One night, Li Chongjin ordered someone to send his staff Zhai Shouxun to discuss important matters.
Zhai Shouxun heard about Li Yun's rebellion against the Song Dynasty on the way here, and Zhai Shouxun rebelled because he was friends with Zhao Kuangyin and had a very good friendship. At that time, when Huainan attacked the Tang State, if it weren't for Zhao Kuangyin's army to escort Zhai Shouxun's family, I am afraid that Zhai Shouxun's family would have died on the battlefield. Zhai Shouxun heard that Li Chongjin had an important matter to discuss, so he hurriedly rushed to the Yangzhou Jiedu Embassy.
Under the cover of night, Zhai Shouxun entered the mansion of Li Yun, the envoy of Yangzhou Jiedu.
"Subordinate Zhai Shouxun has seen General Li."
Li Chongjin said: "Shouxun, I called you here so late today because I have something to discuss." ”
"I don't know what important things the general has, I will answer for the general."
"Now that Li Yun in Luzhou is in trouble, I plan to ask Shouxun to send you an envoy to Luzhou to talk to Li Yun about attacking the Song court in the north and south."
Zhai Shouxun heard that Li Chongjin was going to collude with Li Yun and betray the Song Dynasty, he didn't want Li Chongjin to succeed, the world was stable, and there was another war, Li Chongjin's mind has always been on the throne of Kaifeng, Zhai Shouxun smiled bitterly in his heart, but his face was not easy to perform, after all, he was Li Chongjin's staff.
He thought for a while, and after a long time, Zhai Shouxun said: "The general's strategy is good, Zhai Shouxun is willing to go." ”
"Haha, Shouxun has worked hard for you! I will entrust this matter to you. ”
Zhai Shouxun said goodbye to Li Chongjin and officially embarked on the road to the north the next day, and he was halfway through, urging the carriage and turning the direction, and went to Kaifeng.
In mid-April, Zhai Shouxun arrived in Kaifeng and told Emperor Zhao Kuangyin of the Song Dynasty that Li Chongjin had a heart of disobedience and wanted to discuss with Li Yun to attack the north and south.
At the beginning of May, after Zhai Shouxun returned, he used clever tongues to slander Li Yun's shortcomings and seek great things, and persuaded Li Chongjin not to act rashly.
Li Chongjin, who was ambitious and talented, really hit the plan, did not raise troops in time, and missed the opportunity.
——————————————————————
At the beginning of May, Kaifeng City was surging with an undercurrent,
And in February, since the case of King Cao's disappearance, the secret agents of Wu Desi and the secret agents of Changchun Hall have secretly begun to investigate the matter, but from the current clues and other circumstances, it may be the old ministers of the former dynasty and the people who support the Zhou State, but why is it not Guo Zongxun who was taken away, but Guo Xirang, the king of Cao, which makes Zhao Dezhao puzzled.
However, it is imperative to find out where King Cao is located, Zhao Dezhao does not want other forces to interfere in the situation in Tokyo City, if the unknown and dark forces have always existed in Kaifeng, then the lives of his family members are like being handed over to others, and at this moment Zhao Dezhao went out of the palace gate and went to the Liangcheng Inn to see Yang Meng.
Zhao Dezhao has not been to the Liangcheng Inn for a long time since the Chenqiao Mutiny, and he can't spare time to go to Guangweilou in the south of the city, as well as the home outside the city and other places.
Now that it is early May, Zhao Dezhao took the time to go there.
When Yang Meng saw Zhao Dezhao, he teased: "How can you be old and decayed, let His Highness carry love." ”
"Father-in-law, you are having fun with Zhao'er again." Zhao Dezhao muttered.
"Zhao'er, now you are the prince, but you have forgotten your father-in-law."
"Father-in-law, how could it be? I have been sitting in the Privy Council lately, and I have been discussing matters of government with several ministers, and I beg my father's forgiveness for a few days to come! ”
"Zhao'er, don't say that, seek his own government in his position, and you will have to take on the world in the future."
"It's easy to fight the country, but it's hard to govern the world!! By the way, the father-in-law, I came here this time to tell the father-in-law about something important, I wonder if the father-in-law knows if there are other forces in the capital? ”
"This Zhao'er, in fact, in addition to Changchun Hall in the capital, there is also an organization, but this organization is said to be known as "Flying Sparrow", and his leader is known as "Pretty Rakshasa Black-clothed Tanhua" in the rivers and lakes, and there is a little bit of this force that is well-trained, I don't know if Zhao'er is looking for it? ”
"Father-in-law, this matter is very tricky, because of the sudden disappearance of King Sejong's son King Cao King Guo Xirang, the court has ruled out the people of Wudesi to investigate secretly, and I also sent the brothers in the hall to investigate, but there are no clues at all, so thinking of this matter, I think that my father-in-law must have some clues in his hands, maybe he can solve the puzzle, but he is well-trained, is it stronger than our Changchun Hall?"
However, after Zhao Dezhao heard about it, he felt that it was very tricky, and at the same time, he also planned to secretly train a batch of modern special forces to come in handy in the future.
Yang Meng was not easy to answer this matter, but he replied: "This, in fact, Changchun Hall is the number one force in the world, although the "Flying Sparrow" is strong, but it is not my Changchun Hall's opponent after all, so Zhao'er, please rest assured, maybe after a while, there will be something to gain." ”
Zhao Dezhao suddenly remembered that he was going to inspect the work of Guangwei Group today, so he said: "Okay, father-in-law, I still have something to do, and I will visit another day." ”
"Zhao'er walks slowly—"
"Take care!"
……
In May, Liu Jun, the lord of the Han Dynasty, personally commanded the troops to pour the country into the country from the regiment Baifu, and met Li Yun at Taipingyi.
Taipingyi, located in the northwest of Luzhou forty miles, further north is the border of the Han Kingdom, the two meet here is quite suitable.
After the Han lord Liu Jun and Li Yun discussed, the Han used Lu Zan to supervise the army, and Li Yun left his eldest son Li Shoujie to guard the party (Changzhi), and led 30,000 soldiers and horses to the south.
Luzhou, known as Shangdang in ancient times, is located on the ridge of Taihang Mountain, the so-called "shoulder ridge of the world, when the throat of Heshuo", the place where soldiers must fight. Li Yun has been working hard in Luzhou for eight years, he has witnessed the chaos of military generals, and he wants to be an emperor.
And there is no shortage of far-sighted people under his command.
Before the incident, the strategist Lu Qiuzhong once proposed to Li Yun: "The lord is alone, although there is the support of the Han lord Liu Jun, in fact, it is equivalent to conspiring against him, and no one will respond." The so-called lonely palm is difficult to sing, and the elite armor of the capital is difficult to fight. If the lord raises troops this time, it is better to lead the army to advance to the southwest, cross the Taihang Mountain, occupy the Tiger Prison Pass, defend Luoyang, stabilize the position first, and then plan in the long run, and fight for the world with Zhao Kuangyin, which is the best policy. ”
However, Li Yun is stubborn and self-serving, and does not listen to others. He said proudly: "Qiu Zhong doesn't need to worry, I have a Dan Jue gun, I am very brave and good at fighting, and I have the courage of Lu Bu." Sweating horses, and being able to travel 700 miles a day, have the ability to be spared. With this love will be with BMW, I will win. And Kaifeng is now an empty city, and on the day I raise my army, then Guo Zhou's minister, Huainan Li Chongjin will give Zhao Kuangyin a fatal blow in the back at any time. Why worry about the injustice of the world! Hahaha-"
With love for generals and horses, Li Yun is full of confidence in the future, and he believes that as long as he hits Kaifeng, his former friends will lend him a helping hand.
The strategist Lu Qiuzhong knew Li Yun's temper, and he just shook his head, praying that the lord Li Yun could attack the city in one fell swoop and open the city as soon as possible.
Li Yun got off to a good start, capturing the city of Zezhou in his first battle.
Li Yun laughed, but the advisor Lu Qiuzhong still shook his head at this moment.
……
At this moment in the north, Li Yun won the first battle, and then the news came back to Kaifeng, and what Zhao Kuangyin was worried about happened. If Li Yun crossed Taihang Mountain and attacked Luoyang, once Luoyang fell, it would naturally become a big trouble for Kaifeng.
Li Yun now uses the risk of the ether to directly occupy the upper reaches of the Yellow River, and then control almost all the important granaries such as Yongfeng, Huiluo, and Heyang along the coast, and cut off the road of transportation to the capital Kaifeng.
The country has no food, the Great Song Dynasty was established at the beginning, and the people's hearts are unstable.
At the court meeting, the important ministers discussed a lot, but several important ministers did not speak at this time, and they were discussing countermeasures in their hearts at the moment.
After that, Miao Xun came out of the column and said: "Your Majesty, Zezhou has now been attacked by Li Rebellion, at this time, the army should be encircled, take advantage of Li Rebellion's unstable position, send soldiers out of Hexi, and then surround Li Reverse in Shanxi (commonly known)."
Please Your Majesty order to order the guards stationed in Hebei, Ma Bujun, the deputy commander of the army, Shi Shouxin and the deputy capital in front of the palace, Gao Huaide immediately led the army to quickly advance. ”
Wang Pu got up from his seat, and then said, "Your Majesty, the minister agrees with what Miao Junshi said. ”
"What the two ministers said is very true, I ordered the deputy commander of the guard Ma Bujun stationed in Hebei, so that Shi Shouxin and the deputy commander of the palace immediately led the army to quickly advance to discuss."
After the emperor's will was conveyed to the front line, the deputy commander of the guard Ma Bujun in Hebei made Shi Shouxin and the deputy capital of the palace check Gao Huaide knew about it, and immediately led the army to quickly discuss.
And at this time, ahead
Fortunately, Li Yun is a person who is eager for quick success, he did not follow the advice of his subordinates, and still insisted on going his own way, thinking that it was easy to attack and open the seal.
At this moment, in the city of Zezhou, Li Yun took the lead in capturing this city, he ignored the opposition of the ministers Lu Qiuzhong and others, and directly moved the camp from Luzhou to Zezhou, he thought that it was a simple matter to attack the seal, and in fact, from the perspective of geographical advantages, Luzhou was more dangerous than Zezhou, and Zezhou was more dangerous.
The minister, Lu Qiuzhong and the others all shook their heads.
Zezhou, in the south of Luzhou, faces the Taihang Mountain.
Emperor Zhao Kuangyin's will has been conveyed to the front line, and the Song army has marched from the west road, wanting to control the danger of Taihang Mountain, so that Li Yun's army can not get out of Taihang Mountain, nor can it reach Kaifeng, and cut off the route from Zezhou to Luzhou, so that the rebels can not return to Luzhou, and attack Luoyang from the west, at the same time, the Song army stepped up the siege of Zezhou.
On May 2, Zhao Kuangyin once again ordered the army in front of the palace to check Murong Yanzhao, and Wang Quanbin, the rear of the Zhangde army, led his troops to march from the east road, rendezvous with the west route army, and encircled Zezhou.
Later, outside the city of Zezhou, Shi Shouxin defeated Li Yun in the first confrontation between the two armies, which dealt a blow to his spirit.
Li Yun lost the battle, and at the moment he was at the foot of Taihang Mountain, but Liu Jun, who had promised to send troops to help, sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but he did not move. The ridiculous thing is that all the support Li Yun received from Liu Jun was thousands of old and weak soldiers, a title of King of Xiping, and a military representative.
"Liu Junxiao'er, who killed a thousand knives, mistook me-"
"Lord, I have long said that Liu Jun is unreliable. Now there is still room for turn, it is better to abandon Zezhou and go back to Luzhou with strength, Luzhou has a dangerous terrain and can be attacked and defended. Lord, please think again! ”
"No, I still have 30,000 soldiers and horses, not now, but when."
"Lord!"
"You don't need to say anything more!" Lu Qiuzhong and the others had already been heartbroken by Li Yun, and they stopped talking.
Li Yun smiled, but at this moment-
The good news from the front was transmitted to Kaifeng, at this time Zhao Kuangyin heard it, and wanted to drive the expedition in person, he ignored the opposition of the courtiers, insisted on doing so, hoping to end the war as soon as possible.
Zhao Kuangyin ordered Zhao Dezhao to supervise the country, supplemented by Wang Pu to stay in Tokyo, and others to assist Zhao Dezhao.
On May 21, Zhao Kuangyin went out of Chenqiaomen and led his troops north.
And at this moment in Kaifeng City, the people of the "Flying Sparrow" organization, hearing that Zhao Kuangyin was fighting, searched for flowers in black, ordered people to secretly follow north, and waited for an opportunity to kill Zhao Kuangyin, but was placed in Zhao Kuangyin's army by Zhao Dezhao, and the Changchun Hall secret agents who protected Zhao Kuangyin found that all the people of the Flying Sparrow Organization, except for those who were captured alive, were all in the process of interrogation, biting through the poison hidden in their teeth and dying.
On 1 June, the rapid march led by Zhao Kuangyin arrived in Zezhou and personally commanded the siege. The emperor's presence was not trivial, and everyone fought hard to attack the city. Originally, I thought that Keri would break the city, but after more than ten days of attack, Zezhou City did not move at all.
The city of Zezhou was in difficulty, and Li's rebel army held on to the city and did not move.
Zhao Kuangyin wanted to go into battle in person, but at this moment he couldn't go to the battlefield in person, and the ministers persuaded him, at this time, Ma Quanyi, the then commander of the left wing of the control crane, saw that Zezhou could not be attacked for a long time, and he offered advice to Zhao Kuangyin: "Li Yun is guarding the lonely city, nothing more than waiting for reinforcements, if the reinforcements arrive, it will be even more difficult, it is better for us to attack urgently, and we will definitely be able to go down in one fell swoop!" And volunteered to be a pioneer and lead the daredevils to venture into the city.
Ma Quanyi's words made Zhao Kuangyin's eyes light up: Isn't this me back then? Instant clap and ordered Ma Quanyi to lead his troops to attack the city with all his might.
Zhao Kuangyin really didn't look away, Ma Quanyi concentrated all his forces, and made a continuous fierce attack on a certain point in Zezhou City, from day to night, and from night to day, he himself also shot the arm for the random arrow, but he did not flinch, he pulled out the arrow fiercely, continued to fight, and finally conquered Zezhou.
On the eve of Zezhou's destruction, Li Yun's beloved general Dan Jue abandoned the city and fled, so angry that Li Yun was speechless. His concubine also advised him to flee on horseback.
Thirty-six plans, go for the upper plan, escape is not a problem.
However, Li Yun was still fantasizing about Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty sending troops to help, but in the end, Liu Jun sat on the mountain and watched the tiger fight, but he did not move.
At the same time, Zhao Kuangyin led the army to conquer in person and caught up with Li Yun, who suffered successive defeats and retreated into Zezhou City.
The city of Zezhou was broken, Li Yun swore not to surrender, and finally threw himself into the fire**, and Li Yun's son Li Shoujie heard about his father**, he surrendered to the Song Dynasty with Luzhou, and Li Yun's rebellion was quelled.
In this way, in just one month, Hedong was pacified.
And in Huainan, the land of Yangzhou, Li Chongjin looked forward to it and waited for the opportunity.
After that, Zhao Dezhao in the capital seemed to notice that Li Chongjin in Huainan seemed to be about to move.
ps. The festivals in various places make every year in the first month of the year, and they will go to the capital to worship the Son of Heaven. Chapter 2 omits the record of Li Chong's entry into Beijing, which is omitted.
