Once the thunder started, the imperial capital of Tokyo changed its face!

Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair, if it weren't for the royal case, His Royal Highness's courtiers would definitely see their young official, their legs trembling.

Zuo Zongze, right Xu Han, these two familiar and unfamiliar faces, made the ministers who came to the court today full of anxiety. The golden-armored warriors on guard in the Jinluan Hall are also different from the past, they are two young warriors who are cold to the bone.

Xuanwu and Gou Array, the knife in the sheath, overflowing with murderous aura, so that the entire Jinluan Hall was filled with a cold swishing killing intent.

In addition, what shocked the full house of ministers the most was the great head placed in the middle of the Jinluan Palace-Sun Fu!

This kind of thing has really not happened since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyin, the founder of the country, once set up an iron tablet ancestral motto not to kill officials and doctors. There is a Song generation, which is also regarded as a golden dynasty by scholars all over the world, because the Great Song Dynasty treats people the most.

Today, however, there is a head that is a ruler and is openly placed on the Golden Temple.

"Sun Fu's demons deceived the public and deceived the saints, regarded the danger of the country as child's play, and killed the court officials with edicts and committed disobedience; and secretly communicated with the gold thieves to take passive precautions, causing the capital to fall into many crises! The veteran Zong Ze's voice was like a bell, and he said loudly instead of the panicked and trembling official, "Weichen has been ordered by the official family to kill him - now the head of the owl is shown to the public to set an example!" ”

This is a blatant example to the chickens and monkeys. Above the court, Sun Fu's henchmen are not in the minority. Originally, the party dispute was the most cruel, and there was no room for a little sand in the eyes, so it was inevitable to cut the grass and eradicate the roots. But now that there are foreign enemy soldiers in the city, if there is a bloody wind of purge in the court, it will inevitably cause the entire court of the Great Song Dynasty to fall into collapse and chaos, but let the Jin people take advantage of it.

Therefore, Xu Han and Zong Ze agreed that today's dynasty must not kill another person, and must abandon a previous suspicion and fight against foreign enemies together. Although they knew that Sun Fu's remnants would not think like this in their hearts, in a hurry, there was indeed no other good way. If you can temporarily suppress them, it is the best policy. As a last resort, you must no longer brew swords in the city of Tokyo.

Today's Tokyo can no longer afford any internal friction, this is Chu Tianya's repeated admonition to Xu Han.

……

The hall was quiet, even if Sun Fu's most confidant in the past, he would not be stupid enough to jump out at such a time and stretch his neck to beg for a knife.

Xu Han stepped forward, "The official family has a purpose!" ”

The ministers bowed silently and listened to the announcement.

Xu Han announced the decree, to the effect that Xu Han was reappointed as the imperial envoy of Tokyo from now on, and was fully responsible for the defense of the current capital, and the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty were subject to his moderation; Zong Ze, the prefect of Kaifeng, was promoted to be the deputy envoy of the Privy Council to take charge of the soldiers and horses in Tokyo and garrison the imperial city. In addition, Chu Tianya, the king of Luoyang County, was crowned as a lieutenant, and he knew the affairs of the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty; Jiao Wentong and Yue Feiren each recorded their military exploits and were awarded knights.

The sky in Tokyo changed completely at this moment. The main battle faction, which had already sunk to the bottom, turned over in an instant with lightning speed and an extreme method, and controlled the right to speak in the court.

At this moment, Zhao Huan, an official sitting on the dragon chair, was blank in his mind. He felt that the Zhao family's country seemed to be no longer in charge of the people surnamed Zhao. The world of the Great Song Dynasty suddenly changed its course and was speeding towards an unknown territory. And he, an official who reigns over the world and should be the prime minister, is more like a spectator than anyone else.

On the contrary, the thief lord Chu Tianya, who has never appeared in Tokyo once, is more like the official family of this Great Song Dynasty than he Zhao Huan!

……

Tokyo, the wind is surging.

After the court dismissed, the war drums and horns at all gates of Tokyo were noisy. All the Taoists who danced there earlier were taken down and beheaded in the city. The sturdy warriors stood at the head of the city with their halberds, and the thunderbolt cannons that had been hidden in the snow for many days aimed its black hole at the Jurchens outside the city. The imperial court rewarded the soldiers to open warehouses and release grain, and called on the people in the city to actively participate in the battle to defend the city, and countless inscriptions and war books were distributed throughout the city......

The bloody nature of the people of Tokyo who are dormant is stimulated all of a sudden. Throughout the city of Tokyo, the blood of war boiled and the passion was intense. It seems that the capital of the Great Song Dynasty has never been so masculine and fierce as it is today.

The key is to have one person and one action to promote the occurrence of this qiē. Whether it is Zong Ze or Xu Han, including the Vermilion Bird who slashed Sun Fu and Jiao Wentong who fought to the death in blood, no matter what the thoughts in their hearts are, in the final analysis, they are fighting for Chu Tianya!

The man who had never appeared in Tokyo seemed to have become the totem of the imperial capital of the Great Song Dynasty at this moment. He changed the pattern of the entire court and the atmosphere of the entire dynasty. As soon as it is qiē, it is done between the electric light and flint.

It turns out that nothing cannot be changed. The officialdom of the Great Song Dynasty is intertwined, and Wang Anshi's innovation and change, even if he gets the consent and support of the official family, it is difficult to tamper with the foundation of the big official. But Chu Tianya did it, in an extraordinary period, with a very strong and barbaric method, he did it. It's like dealing with a seriously ill patient, a dead horse is a live horse doctor, without anesthetic, a knife goes down, and the lesion is removed!

One force, one hundred ingenuity.

The changes in Tokyo attracted the attention of the Jurchens. Originally, they were besieging the city strongly, and at the same time using the bait of "peace talks" to paralyze and divide the officials and court of the Great Song Dynasty. In their view, the Great Song Dynasty, which had always been timid and lacking in combat power, had a good reason to accept any humiliating peace talks in the critical situation of the army approaching the city. Even if they didn't accept it, they would be able to make Tokyo's morale low and unguarded, and it would be earned for the Jurchens.

It is precisely because of the Jurchens' paralyzing tactics of "attacking with peace and discussion" that the lords and factions of Tokyo have always had the upper hand in the court, and in the final analysis, it is because the court of the Great Song Dynasty is accustomed to such weakness and compromise. They covered their ears and stole bells to bewitch themselves that the Jurchens would not really destroy the Great Song Dynasty, but really wanted to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty.

If it weren't for this, how could the Jurchen army fight out of the bitter cold Liaodong in one fell swoop, annex the entire Liao State, and then set foot on the Central Plains, heading straight to Tokyo?

Now it's different. The Great Song Dynasty, who had been in a state of drunkenness, seemed to wake up suddenly overnight, and they abandoned the illusion of peace talks and put on a posture of "fighting to the end", and they were going to fight hard with the Jurchens!

The Jurchens grew up desperately, not without fear of fighting. What amazed them was...... What's wrong with the Han'er in the south, overnight, it's like a change of heart?

At the same time, the big military parade on the Sycamore Plains was in full swing. 200,000 rebels are in an urgent run-in. To put it nicely, this is a group of like-minded righteous people; It's hard to hear, but it's actually just a rabble of improvised patchwork.

More than half of them have never received systematic military training, do not know what military orders are, and do not know what a real flesh-and-blood battlefield looks like.

What Chu Tianya has to do is to train them into battlefield machines that only know how to move forward and dare not retreat in the shortest possible time!

The fastest and most effective way to do this is to reward and punish clearly, and kill decisively!

Chu Tianya did just that. He took out all the gold and silver treasures and distributed them to the soldiers of the Sycamore Plains; Then, he slashed and killed some unlucky ghosts who did not obey the military order in public. In the shortest possible time, establish unparalleled prestige within the Allied forces, and at the same time make everyone aware - the military order is like a mountain!

This is called grinding the gun in battle, and it is not bright but also light. At least now these 200,000 people know that they will advance and retreat when they hear the drums, and they will obey the order.

The Jurchens obviously didn't plan to give Chu Tianya much time to do these things. When Yan Zongwang learned of Wutongyuan's movements, the first decision he made was to kill the periphery first, and then take Tokyo!

Now, his 350,000-strong army has all crossed the Yellow River and reached Tokyo. Without hesitation, he took out 150,000 elites, personally took command, bypassed Tokyo and rushed straight to Wutongyuan, and came to meet Chu Tianya.

A big war inevitably kicked off......

The largest battle in the Central Plains since the warlord melee in the late Tang Dynasty was fought in the little-known place of Wutongyuan.

At this point, there is no room for both sides to back down, and there is not much trickery to play. Die, you or I die - all that's left is the simple rule!

The kidnappers of the Jin Kingdom, the horses and the Iron Floaters, are located in the plains of Tokyo, Kisuke, and they have taken advantage of their mobility. But Chu Tianya's battlefield location is not without trickery, Wutong Yuan is high in the west and low in the east, and countless Qingyun slashers and hook and sickle gunmen are ambushing in low pits, slashing horses and stabbing knights on their legs, or countless bows and arrows are coming from the sky. After several major battles, the cavalry of the Jin State did not get much bargain.

Wanyan Zongwang originally wanted to clean up this rabble in Wutong Yuan with a thunderous blow, and capture Chu Tianya alive to avenge Wanyan Zonghan's blood hatred. After a few tentative battles, he had to give up this original intention and began to seriously examine Chu Tianya's opponent.

"It's really not simple, Zong Han was unjustly defeated." This is the original words of Wanyan Zongwang, who has won every battle since he came out of the division and has been undefeated in every battle, and is known as the god of war in the northern country, "It seems that this Chu Tianya can stand in today's position, it seems that it is not just luck. ”

The four gates of Tokyo were guarded by soldiers and horses, and the soldiers were so anxious that they could only sit back and watch the bloody battles of Wutong Plain.

Jiao Wentong was in a coma for a few days and finally woke up, and the first thing he said when he opened his eyes was shouting, "Lord, Jiao is incompetent!" ……”

"Second brother, you're fine." After a few days and nights, the soldiers of the Howling Cavalry wept with joy, "We have completed the task of waiting for the main bus." Xu Han entered Tokyo, Sun Fu was ambushed, and Zong Ze had already raised the defense of the capital. One qiē is in the master's hands! ”

When Jiao Wentong heard this, he was relieved and fell into a coma again.

Soon, Yue Fei took Zhang Xian, Wang Gui and others to visit Jiao Wentong. I saw Suzaku and nobles standing face to face.

"It turns out that you are from the Hedong Righteous Army, I should have thought of it a long time ago." Yue Fei said lightly.

Suzaku in a mask was silent. The noble man said, "Brother Yue, thank you for saving us again...... Why don't you go with us and serve my father-in-law! My father-in-law ......"

"Girl, be careful!" Yue Fei didn't understand the amorous charm at all and didn't give face, interrupted the nobleman, carried a bag of medicinal herbs, and walked straight into Jiao Wentong's room.

"A certain person came to visit Jiao Yingxing." Yue Fei put down the medicinal herbs, looked at Jiao Wentong lying on the sickbed a few times, and felt sorry for each other, "He is a good man!" I hope he recovers soon, and he should drink 300 cups with him, and rest when he gets drunk! ”

With that, he was gone.

The nobleman wrinkled his nose with hatred, "Takefu! Kook! ”

Suzaku said indifferently, "His ability is not below Second Brother Jiao." It's not surprising that anyone who has a little ability has a bit of a weird temper. ”

"You're wrong." Jiao Wentong, who was lying on the bed, suddenly opened his eyes and spoke, "This person's ability is far above Jiao's. Jiao is like a deer, and he is like a tiger. Although ten deer are not as good as one tiger. Jiao will do his best to help the lord receive this general's material. There is him to complement him...... The lord will inevitably be like a tiger!! ”

Suzaku said, "Didn't you faint to death?" ”

As soon as the words fell, Jiao Wentong really fainted again.

"It's all freaks!"

In the Wutongyuan military camp, Chu Tianya took Cao Cheng and a group of leading generals to inspect and comfort the wounded barracks.

Wailing and screaming abounded.

All people's hearts shrunk into a ball, and no one could easily get up when they saw such a scene.

"My lord, Zong Wang's army is tougher than Zong Han's." Anu, who led the troops to battle today, whispered in Chu Tianya's ear, "Most of the main forces of Zongwang's department are veterans of the Jurchen clan who were killed in Liaodong, and their combat strength is extraordinary, and they cooperate tacitly, and the father and son share the same army and hatred. On the other hand, Zong Han, most of the soldiers and horses of the Yunzhong and Western courts were mainly soldiers of the Liao State, and there were many displaced people and Han soldiers, and the morale of the army was far inferior to that of Zongwang. Today's battle with me is only the number one lackey under Zong Wang, the victorious army of Guo Yaoshi. If Zongwang's headquarters personally went to battle, I am afraid that the losses of our army would be even heavier. ”

Chu Tianya listened quietly and nodded silently. He is actually no stranger to this, and it is all expected. The combat effectiveness of the 200,000 rebels is almost perfect, and there are not many in his heart. If this group of people alone can swallow Zongwang alive, then what qualifications does Zongwang have to be named the god of war in the northern country, and how can it be possible to sweep half of the entire territory of China?

"Lord Wang, in the past few days, our army has rarely won more than ten battles. Seeing that the casualties were increasing and the morale was low......" Cao Cheng looked at the battalion full of wounded soldiers, lowered his voice and whispered, "There is no way to go on like this." ”

Chu Tianya said lightly: "What are your plans?" ”

"Why don't you contact the city and fight before and after the battle together?"

"No." Chu Tianya said categorically, "Zong Wang's main force has not been dispatched yet, and only sent Guo Yaoshi to deal with me, obviously to guard against us." As soon as the troops and horses in Tokyo are dispatched, most of his main force will pounce on Tokyo and take the city. Why don't you see such a simple method of striking the east and the west, and striking the grass and startling the snake? ”

"Yes...... Subordinates are ignorant. Cao Cheng responded, but he didn't give up, "It's just that we are here to consume Zongwang, but there is no hope of victory." In the long run, the subordinates are worried about the morale of the army......"

"Hold your breath and don't be cowardly!" Chu Tianya twisted his eyebrows and said in a deep voice, "If you are cowardly, the army will be cowardly, and if you are cowardly, the army will be defeated!" …… Back then, Cao Gong faced Yuan Shao, who was several times his size in Guandu, and the situation was far more critical than we are now, wasn't it also the final victory? We must persist -- we can't bear it, and the Zongwang of the Labor Expedition is even more uncomfortable than ours! ”

"What the prince said is very true, his subordinates are ignorant!"

Chu Tianya secretly sighed in his heart. Having said that, he was actually more anxious and nervous than Cao Cheng.

Trying to defeat the Jurchens, who were stronger than their own forces, was basically an impossible task. But now, what kind of miracle can he create to win this battle?

He said that now he not only had Zong Wang in front of him, but also Zong Wang's three or four hundred thousand troops on his side who were heading south from Taiyuan, and were rushing behind him - Luoyang.

In case Liu Ziyu and Bai Xu failed to block Zong Han north of the Yellow River, then Wutong Yuan would have to suffer from the enemy, Luoyang would be lost, Tokyo would be lost, and the Great Song Dynasty would be destroyed...... But it's a catastrophe!

At this moment, the pressure on Chu Tianya's shoulders was far greater than that of anyone in the world.

"Has Tang Ang arrived?" Chu Tianya suddenly asked loudly.

"Back to the lord, I haven't ...... yet"

"Quickly send someone to urge, to answer !!"

Chu Tianya was almost roaring hysterically.

The guards were stunned and hurriedly agreed.

Tang Ang was ordered by Chu Tianya to leave Luoyang one step later to protect himself from the artillery developed by Yelu Yanchen. Whether those cannons succeed or not, Chu Tianya's heart is completely bottomless. But now even a dead horse must be treated as a live horse, and Chu Tianya doesn't want to wait any longer.

At dawn the next day, the golden drum was ringing, and the Jurchens came to fight again. The person who fought was still Guo Yaoshi, the general of the Liao State. The victorious army under his command was once the most relied on by the Liao State, but it surrendered to the Jurchens in battle; then descended to the Great Song Dynasty and was relied on by the Great Song Dynasty as the gate of the country; In the end, he once again surrendered to the Jurchens, and now he was led by Zong Wang like a hunting dog and killed in Tokyo, Central Plains.

Now Pharmacist Guo's reputation is so bad that no one in the world can match it. But this did not affect the combat effectiveness of the Changsheng army under his command, which was a group of people who mainly composed of the Xi Hu people to dare to die, who used to fight on the border of Liao all the year round, mainly cavalry, and all of them in the army were brave and obedient, and it was once a hard bone that made the people of the Jin country more headache.

In the past few days, Guo Yaoshi led his victorious army has killed the rebels of Wutongyuan several times, and each has the upper hand in a strategic battle. Chu Tianya successively sent Cao Cheng's tiger general Yang Zaixing's troops to fight against his own main tiger force, but he didn't bargain too much.

Needless to say, the rest of the shrimp soldiers and crab generals can only be filled with numbers at most, or wave their flags and shout.

Now although the entire Wutong Yuan is known as a 200,000 righteous army, the division that can really fight and dare to fight is just over half.

And his opponent, Wanyan Zongwang, has not moved his true character at all.

One of the most serious problems in history was placed in front of Chu Tianya.
