On December 10 of the seventh year of Xuanhe, after the Song army surrendered Guo Yaoshi to open the city and sacrifice Yanjing City, the East Route Army of the Jin Army commanded by Wanyan Zongwang hijacked the highest military and political leaders of Yanshan Mansion to attack the cities, and the major cities were shocked after seeing Cai Jing and Lu Yihao and others, and lost the will to fight.

Cai You, the supreme military commander, saw that the general situation was not good, and did not mention the battle at all, but just fled vigorously, leaving more than 200,000 Song troops to flee secretly, and more than 200,000 Song troops were leaderless, and they were suddenly crushed for thousands of miles, and there was no decent resistance organized at all, and the Jindong Road army occupied all the 24 counties of the six states to which Yanshan belonged without bloodshed, and the 110,000 Song troops who did not escape were either incorporated or disarmed, and the Jin army collected all its military strength, and obtained 10,000 war horses, 50,000 armor, 70,000 usable soldiers, and countless crossbow arrows of all kinds.

After nearly three years of absence, in the winter of this year, the Jin army returned to Yanjing triumphantly, and since the fifth year of Xuanhe, Yanjing, which has returned to the Central Plains of the motherland for only two years, six months and twenty-three days, has not formed any resistance, so it has been lost! The plan for the recovery of the sixteen states of Yanyun, which Song had been obsessed with since the founding of the People's Republic of China, was thus in vain, and it was no longer possible to realize it.

Having lost the barrier of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, what was presented in front of the Jin army was the oily Central Plains of Pingchuan! Until this time, Wanyan Zongwang was still a little dizzy, he almost couldn't believe that he had defeated the 16 states of Yanyun guarded by 300,000 Song troops in this way, and he couldn't believe that he had easily succeeded in this way, and he had also obtained nearly 100,000 soldiers and horses, which were incorporated into the army and became his own combat strength.

Song, it turns out that he is so weak and incompetent? The Jin army, which was originally just going to capture Yanjing, couldn't stop at all, and when Wanyan Wu Qimai received the battle report, he still didn't believe it, and there were no big losses, so he defeated the 300,000 army that Song claimed to be strong in combat and made Ah Guda jealous? Or was it simply scared away? This is also called the army? This is the combat effectiveness of the Song army? This is Song's "great strength"?

Is this true? Is this really true? Is this really, really, really true?

The Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty, the Great Song Dynasty that stood at the top of the world civilization, the Great Song Dynasty with such strong financial resources, actually ...... Defeated so completely?

Wu Qimai kept asking himself, and it wasn't until all the household registration books and atlases of Song Yanshan Mansion arrived in his hands that he completely believed that it turned out that all this was true, he really got all of Yanyun's sixteen states, and defeated the Song army of 300,000 with less than 100,000 soldiers and horses!

"Keep marching! Keep marching! Keep marching! Give me a call to Kaifeng! Wu Qimai shouted hoarsely.

Of course, there is no need for him to shout, naturally someone did it for him, Zong Wang did not instruct him at all, after completely capturing the sixteen states of Yanyun, Zong Wang quickly led the army to attack the Song border, relying on the leadership of Guo Yaoshi and the Song army that was absorbed, the Jin army was almost like no one.

The East Route Army is progressing smoothly, and the West Route Army is the same, although the West Route Army was blocked after entering Taiyuan City, but the reason for the obstruction was not because of the previous Great Song Dynasty War Prodigy Great Eunuch, but Taiyuan Prefecture Governor Zhang Xiaochun, Tong Da Eunuch felt that he had no face to return to the Western Army after the defeat of the Western Army, so he fled back to Tokyo City, as a result, Emperor Huizong reprimanded him with a black face, and drove him to Taiyuan City to be Xuanfu, and continued to serve as the highest military leader of the Song Dynasty in the north.

After Tong Guan arrived in Taiyuan, he also sent people to visit the Jin State to find out whether the Jin State had the intention of going south, and the Song Dynasty made Ma Kuo spy back and gave Tong Guan a strong warning, Tong Guan did not wake up like a dream until this time, and exclaimed, "The Jin people have just established the country, how dare they do such a thing?" Ma Kuo suggested that he should be on guard quickly, but Tong Guan at this time had other plans.

On December 3 of the seventh year of Xuanhe, Jin envoy Wang Jieru arrived in Taiyuan, with an arrogant attitude, and showed Jin Taizong's edict of declaring war. Wang Jieru replied, "The military horse has risen, what more is it to discuss?" Tong Guan was also stunned, and fantasized about discussing and discussing, who discussed with him in Jinren, and hit you first without discussing!

Wang Jieru came to a "lion's big mouth" and took the opportunity to coerce Tong Guan, "It is advisable to quickly cut the east of the river and Hebei, and take the big river as the boundary, but the Great Song Dynasty Society." ”

At this time, Tong Guan was already at a loss, and after a long time, he muttered: "It is so strange that your country refuses to hand over the land, but wants our country to cede the two rivers!" ”

Wang Jieru said angrily: "If you refuse to cut the land, I will fight with you!" "Say goodbye and leave.

Tong Guan finally realized that the war was inevitable, and then he got the Jin army to send troops, the West Route Army broke through several states, and came to Taiyuan under the leadership of the famous hawk boss Wanyan Zonghan of the Jin Army.

I'm just a eunuch, I'm just a eunuch, I'm not a general, I'm not a god of war, I'm not a supreme commander, I'm just a eunuch, I'm going back to where I need to go, it's safe there.

Tong Guan was confused, constantly repeating his request, Zhang Xiaochun led the Taiyuan Mansion civil and military to ask Tong Guan to take command, Tong Guan was furious, and said, "Guan was ordered to preach and appease, not to defend the land." ”

As soon as these words came out, Tong Guan, the former god of war of the Great Song Dynasty, completely fell, and people will never mention the story of his high-spirited resistance to the order to send troops to win a big victory, nor will they mention his feat of leading 200,000 troops to level the party.

People are all changeable, or become strong, or weak, or become bold, or become timid, and in one day, complete the saddest change.

Tong Guan left, left the northwest where he fought for more than 20 years, this walk, he never came back, Tong Guan pulled his legs and left, the armies in Hedong lost their unity and control, faced with the attack of the Jin army, did not belong to each other, and became a plate of scattered sand, Taiyuan, then a lonely city, the situation was urgent, Zhang Xiaochun took on the responsibilities that Tong Guan did not take on as a civilian official, he could not fight, he put on armor, commanded the army, and became a military general.

But can he be compared to a battle-hardened warrior like Wanyan Zonghan? The answer is undoubtedly no, the Song generals suffered two successive defeats, burying all the barriers of Taiyuan City to the Jin army.

In front of the Jin army, Taiyuan City looked so weak and lonely, bearing the grassland storm from the north alone.

But there is one point, neither Song nor Jin realized that Taiyuan is a thousand-year-old capital, and there is not much to say about civilization or anything, and its most famous point is "hard"!

Unusual, incredible hardness! It's hard! The wars fought here by all dynasties will be stuck, not to mention, the strength of Chai Rong in the five dynasties can't take it; At the beginning of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin won all his life, and there was no way to take it; Zhao Guangyi conquered it with his troops, but it took half a year, and the whole army was so tired that he was half dead, and finally dropped the chain during the expedition to Yanyun, burying the root cause of the Song Dynasty's inability to unify Middle Earth.

At this time, the Jin army came and it was the same, Wanyan Zonghan took Shuo and Dai two states in a row, and when he arrived in Taiyuan, he was suddenly resisted, and the arrogant Zong Han was still laughing at the incompetence of the Song army, pulling out the captured Song army generals and humiliating them wantonly, but the hard Taiyuan City almost didn't let Zong Han's head break the blood - no matter how they attacked, Taiyuan City stood there majestically.

Zhang Xiaochun is a literati, but he is indeed a hard-fought literati, hard to the point of being incredible, no matter what way Zong Han uses, he just doesn't admit defeat, he fights as much as he wants, although the loss of the Jin soldiers is not too big, and the number of female real soldiers lost is not too much, not to the point of being unacceptable, but Zong Han, who has been smooth sailing since the start of the war, was suddenly blocked by Taiyuan City, do you say evil is not disgusting?

Zong Han was blocked, unable to move south, but Zong Wang was not blocked, and Hebei did not have a hard city like Taiyuan City, and Zong Wang was not as brainless as Zong Han, he did not fight those strong cities with perfect city defenses, such as Zhending, he also hit a nail in Zhending, and was defeated once by Zhending Marshal Liu Tao with his son, and he lost several times in concentrating his forces to attack the city, and he even suspected that his judgment was wrong.

The Song Dynasty may not be so easy to deal with.

Immediately he changed his strategy, the nightmare of the Great Song Dynasty began, Zongwang was no longer obsessed with attacking important cities, but began to attack the gaps between the cities, those places that have nothing to do with the city, small villages, small county towns and the like, that is the real defensive vacuum of the Song army, there is no resistance from soldiers and horses, these places soon fell, no matter how big the city is, it is useless, it is just a city, not the Great Wall, and it can't stop the golden soldiers and iron cavalry going south.

Hebei's erosion of more than a hundred years of war defense completely exposed his shortcomings, completely exposed his incompetence and fragility, except for a few big cities, all the cities that should have fallen have fallen, and those that have not fallen are also Zongwang has no time and energy to attack, so many cities, I have so many soldiers and horses, if they are attacked one by one, even if only dozens of people die, hundreds of cities together are not something I can bear, not to mention that there is such a big city as Zhending.

Zong Wang led his army to gallop south, heading towards the Yellow River, treating the Song army's fortified city as nothing, and he was very willing to believe that as long as he took Kaifeng, he could force the Song Dynasty to surrender, and then sign a treaty to make the Song Dynasty submit to Dajin, pay tribute every year, and come to the dynasty every year, so that the Song Dynasty would become an inexhaustible treasure trove of resources for Dajin.

This is his strategic plan, he takes his own plan, he takes the army, like a steppe storm, swept in, and his face is hideous and terrifying.

Yue turned far away in the south of the Yangtze River, but he also clearly felt this extremely tyrannical grassland storm, separated by 108,000 miles, as if facing the tyrannical grassland storm, baring his teeth and cracking his mouth, roaring and roaring, tearing apart all the ...... who dared to resist
