Two hundred and seven, Lin Chong wants to challenge Yan Zongwang head-on
Zhao Gou is sincere.
Nineteen-year-old Zhao Gou is really a hot-blooded young man who is easy to get hot, he lives in a honey pot, feels the heavenly life of the Zhao family's royal family, enjoys the eternal obedience of others to him, and has no extravagant hope of wanting to be an emperor, no one hits him, no one cares about him, in the first nineteen years of his life, he is an idle prince, he has never suffered any setbacks, and it has been smooth sailing.
So when he suddenly encountered the shame of the country, Zhao Gou watched the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty shrink into ostriches, and the emperor's brother was in a dilemma, how could he endure such humiliation and grievances when it was smooth sailing? The pride and ambition in his heart seemed to be all stimulated, and he involuntarily stepped forward and shouted out that sentence, and then he was forced to be appointed as a deputy envoy and sent an envoy to Jinying with Zhang Bangchang as a hostage.
It was the only, first, and last time in his life to be brave.
After Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang entered the Jin Camp, Zhao Gou really felt the strength and bloodthirstiness of the Jin soldiers, and the strong murderous aura made Zhao Gou, who had never seen a real iron-blooded soldier, pale and trembling, but Zhang Bangchang comforted them on the side, and Zong Wang did not embarrass them, so Zhao Gou remained calm, but in his heart, he had already buried the impression that the Jin soldiers were strong.
Li Gang is only the deputy prime minister, the Great Song Dynasty has not established a wartime system, the imperial court still operates as it is, Li Gang does not have the right to decide national affairs in a word, and it is already the limit of what he can do to stop him before Zhang Bangchang sends an envoy to take away the map of the three towns and the edict of delivery, and he is powerless for the decree of the court bosses to collectively decide to destroy wealth and eliminate disasters, although he believes that this is a complete act of capital and enemies, with this money and food, Jin Bing can continue to support it, and he will never leave.
Originally, they were already short of food and clothing, but they suddenly got the entire Kaifeng City to do their best to supply, they instantly entered heaven from hell, this is the accumulation of more than 100 years of recuperation in Kaifeng City, the wealth accumulated in Kaifeng City for more than 100 years, the wealth accumulation of nearly 100 million people before and after, Zhao Huan also ordered the raid of many traitorous ministers and their people's homes, and the wealth obtained is even more incalculable, but all this was unreservedly transported to the Jin people.
In the golden camp, Zong Wang and Liang Wei looked at the mountains of money, grain, cattle and horses antique playthings, their minds were different, Zong Wang was completely sluggish, after reshaping the three views, it was crazy laughter and outright contempt, Liang Wei was deeply sarcastic and sneering.
On the battlefield, 80,000 Jin soldiers faced Kaifeng City, which was held by more than 100,000 Song troops, but they were enjoying the supply of Kaifeng City, spending all day long, enjoying all this, and the Song Army defending the city watched all this, it was obviously an excellent opportunity, but it could not attack, the price of 10 million taels of gold and silver and silk and horses, mules and donkeys was fantastic, and ten Kaifeng cities could almost be supplied, but one Kaifeng city was powerless.
But it doesn't matter, there are many good people in Kaifeng City who are good at looting money, they actually dare to attack the emperor's wealth, they openly auction the emperor's goods, in order to earn the money of the rich people, and after the rich people buy these items, let them pay the same fee according to the original price, dare to buy the emperor's things? It's not a small amount of courage!
One thing, earn two shares, this transaction is a good deal, comparable to the very economically minded merchant emperor of Emperor Ling of Han.
And the most depressed, the most sad and angry, is Li Gang, who insists on resisting the enemy, he can't do anything, in the face of all this, he can't do anything, watching countless money, food, treasures and antiques all given to the Jin people by this group of traitors, the grief and indignation in his heart has almost reached the peak!
In this way, until the fifteenth day of the first month, the Qinwang troops of the Great Song Dynasty finally arrived in Kaifeng City, the first batch of people came very few, quickly entered the city, did not contact with the Jin army, Zong Wang did not care, he knew that the Song army had always been timid, did not dare to fight with him, and then on the eighteenth day of the first month, Ma Zhong, the commander of Luoyang, Xijing, led the army to kill, they met with the Jin army outside the south gate of Zhengzhou, and immediately started a fight, the Jin army was caught off guard, lost hundreds of lives, and fled from Kaifeng City in embarrassment.
Ma Zhong then led the army into Kaifeng City to assist in the defense, which aroused the serious concern of Wanyan Zongwang, he closed the camp gate to gather troops, and no longer sent troops to loot around, wanting to see the movements of the Great Song Dynasty.
Two days later, on the twentieth day of the first lunar month, Wanyan Zongwang was shocked, he found that a Song army was coming from the northwest, did not enter the city gate, and reached the south bank of Bianshui in the west of the capital. Zong Wang personally led the army out of the camp to check the situation, and it seemed that the military banner was the army of Lin Chong, the commander of the Yongxing Army, and Yue Fei, the commander of the Jingzhao Mansion.
He didn't know how many troops the Song army came, but looking at that posture, the number of troops was at least eighty thousand, Zong Wang couldn't help but feel timid, and asked Liang Wei: "This is the Western Army?" ”
Liang Wei's face became solemn: "Yes, this is the Western Army, the Yongxing Army is the envoy of Lin Chong, the Jingzhao Mansion soldiers and horses are under the control of Yue Fei, the two great generals of the Western Army have arrived, these two people are the strongest generals in the entire Great Song Dynasty, and the army under their command is also a hundred battles, more than 80,000 in one breath, don't they want the northwest defense line?"
At this time, there is no need to bluff, it will be difficult to do now, as soon as these two people come, the main force of the Western Army is also behind them, the second prince, our army should pay attention! And from today it is estimated that it will be difficult for us to get the materials of Kaifeng City, for the long-term plan, our army should try to avoid a head-on confrontation with them, and then try to intimidate Emperor Song to hand over the three towns delivery edict, and then retreat as soon as possible! ”
Zong Wang narrowed his eyes, looked at the orderly Song military camp in the distance, and muttered, "Lin Chong? Yue Fei? Well, it seems that I need to pay attention to something, Liang Wei, you can do the next thing. ”
Liang Wei bowed down to receive the order, and was about to leave, but he didn't think that a war drum sounded, the door of the Song army's camp opened, and a large number of cavalry slowly walked out of the camp gate, and formed in front of the camp.
Lin Chong, with a handsome face, a tall body, a strong body, a jujube red war horse under his crotch is extremely powerful, his person is holding a big gun, his eyes are sharp, he is wearing a red robe, and he is not afraid to lead five thousand cavalry towards the camp of eighty thousand gold soldiers, Liang Wei looked surprised, Zong Wang looked shocked, and then the two of them both retreated, because the Song army already had a cavalry rushing towards them, and raised the bow and crossbow! Pull the trigger!
Zong Wang and Liang Wei fled into the camp in embarrassment, immediately closed the camp door, a large number of rangers did not have time to enter, and were killed by Lin Chong led the army for a brave rush, the Jin cavalry could not fight in a hurry, a large number of deaths, dead bodies everywhere outside the camp, a mess, Lin Chong personally cut off the golden flag, threw it on the ground, and inserted a sword on it, thinking that it was a shock, and put the heads of more than 600 Jin soldiers on it, piled up into Jingguan, showing off force to the Jin soldiers, and in the whole process, Zong Wang did not send an army to fight.
The Song army's two small victories made Zong Wang extremely shocked, restless, restless, and the intention of retreating quickly had already sprouted in his heart, Liang Wei frowned, thinking about countermeasures, he never expected Lin Chong's combat effectiveness to be so strong, and he came so fast, logically speaking, they should not have so many people so fast, the first batch of people to come, at most one or two thousand, the more people, the slower the speed, but now look at the banner is at least 80,000 troops, in this way, the Jin army can hardly even escape.
Wrong! This is the bluff of the Western Army! They should only have 10,000 or 20,000 people, and the banners are all fake! The barracks are also fake! Liang Wei carefully observed the Song army camp and realized his own negligence.
Liang Wei had a little confidence in his heart, and analyzed the current situation and the fact of the bluff of the Western Army to Zong Wang, Zong Wang's heart was a little more settled, and then he heard the report, the Song army cut off the heads of more than 600 Jin soldiers and piled them into Jingguan, showing off their strength to the Jin soldiers, and what was even more outrageous was to cut down the Jin national flag, pierce it with a sword, and throw it on the ground.
Zong Wang was annoyed in his heart, only 10,000 or 20,000 people, but he dared to face me head-on?! It doesn't matter if you are the Western Army or the Eastern Army, fight first! Zongwang decided to send his general, who was also his younger brother Wanyan Zongbi, to lead 30,000 iron cavalry to fight tomorrow to defeat Lin Chong, deter the Song court, make him continue to pay tribute, and hand over the three towns of Hebei.
Zong Bi is the sixth son of A Guda, Zong Wang's younger brother, Zong Wang usually values this younger brother, this time he led the army south basically with Zong Bi as the vanguard, Zong Bi also lived up to expectations, and repeatedly made war exploits, so in this time, Zong Wang still made Zong Bi a general, and led the army to attack the Song army Lin Chong Yue Fei's department, and gave the Song people a little color to see.
Zong Bi received this task, his heart was very excited, all the way south, he almost did not encounter strong resistance, not even a decent battle, the Song people have been fleeing, and now finally come a Song army that does not flee to fight a decisive battle with the Jin soldiers, he is too late to be happy, I heard that the Song army has about 20,000 people, Zong Wang gave him 30,000 soldiers and horses, he is very unhappy, think I will lose, right? Zong Bi retreated 20,000 cavalry, and only took 10,000 iron cavalry from his headquarters out of the camp to attack the Song army camp.
