In the edict, Yue Fei's achievements were first affirmed that "when Qing Yong won the championship, his prestige served the public", and then affirmed that the imperial court still had a long-term plan, "Fang Zi long-term calculation, help spear long-term planning, and there is no period of rest", and finally played the favor card, "Although Qing has ambitions, the solid taste lies in the mountains and forests." And the ministers, can you forget about the royal family, "You only care about yourself at ease, regardless of the government that is still in dire straits?"

In this way, Yue Fei finally did not mention his resignation, and walked into the palace to meet Zhao Gou. When they met, the entire palace echoed with Zhao Gou's voice, and he said a lot of warmth and concern, in exchange for Yue Fei's impeccable etiquette.

Yue Fei was silent all the time, and he didn't answer a word ("The emperor asked, Fei said thank you") On the day Yue Fei left, behind him, there were several eyes with their own connotations-

Zhao Gou, he never lost his temper with a smile, even if he did the above qiē, he was still graceful and elegant. After Yue Fei left, he ended the Northern Expedition as the emperor, and said such a sentence: "If I personally raise an army, reward and punish clearly, and encourage the soldiers, I will definitely be able to capture the vultures", great generals, what you can do, I can also do, even better than you! The world should know that only I Zhao Gou is the one who controls a qiē and the object to be worshipped!

Zhang Jun, he made no secret of his murderous intentions. Yue Fei... It's his former subordinate, his current nightmare, this man's every word and deed stands on the opposite side of him, and makes him extremely ugly... Revenge, revenge, and if possible, kill!

Qin Hui was very busy, he didn't need to stare at Yue Fei with a resentful gaze, because he was doing something to get revenge.

Of course, this requires a process, whether it is killing Yue Fei or engaging in peace talks, it requires an overall plan. In the meantime, not only the Southern Song Dynasty needs to do it, but the Jin State also has to be active...

In October, in Western Xia, Ren Dejing quelled Xiao Heda's rebellion, and was awarded the title of Xiangqing Army for meritorious service, and entered the title of Xiping Gong.

November 8th. Kaqika led his army east out of Tongguan and attacked Shaanzhou, where he was defeated by his retainer Wu Qi. At the same time, Yang Congyi once again defeated the Jin army in Baoji. At this time, the army of Wanyan Sali was besieging Qingyang Mansion on Huanqing Road, and the retainer Song Wannian was holding on to the city. Hu Shijiang urgently asked Wang Zhongzhi, the envoy of Hedong Economic Strategy, for help. When Wang led his army to Yan'an, the rebel general Zhao Weiqing surrendered with a false edict. Wang Zhongzhi said, "If the edict of this dynasty is accepted, if the edict of the Jin State is not worshipped", as a result, Zhao Weiqing sent Yan Sa away from the drinking place. Sali ordered the soldiers to take Wang Zhongzhi to the city of Qingyang Mansion to persuade him to surrender. Wang Zhongzhi shouted, "I am a loyal and righteous person in Foshan in Hedongbu, and I am held by Jin, so I came to surrender." May the generals not fail the court and stick to the city walls. Zhongzhi is dead in the city", after opening his clothes, he shouted "kill me quickly" to Wan Yan and was killed.

On the 15th, General Hu Shi urgently wrote to the imperial court to ask Yue Fei to send troops to contain him, and Zhao Gou replied, "This is not easy to discuss." There is a priority in everything, and it is necessary to think before acting, and it can be successful."

In December, Li Cheng besieged Li Xing's White Horse Cottage with tens of thousands of troops from the Han Dynasty. Li Xing summoned the generals, "My wife and children are now in Xiangyang, but my youngest son is on the side." If you are not defeated today, you should hold this place and throw yourself south to the cliff. To thank the Son of Heaven" the generals wept and swore to defend to the death. At this time, Jin Guo recruited Li Xing as the general of Fengguo and Henan Yin with Huang Bang. Li Xing beheaded the envoy immediately, dismantled the edict without dismantling it, and directly handed it over to the Southern Song court... Under such perseverance. Li Cheng had no choice but to return to Luoyang City...

This month, Kim Hee-jong ordered the first Tuntian Army to be created in the Central Plains.

On January 10, the 11th year of Shaoxing (1141), Zhang Jun entered the court. Zhao Gou asked him to read "The Biography of Guo Ziyi": "If you know that the imperial court is like Ziyi, you will be blessed." The same is true of the prosperity of the offspring. If you despise the imperial court because of the weight of military power, the descendants of non-special people will not enjoy happiness, and they will also have unforeseen disasters. It is advisable to quit"

The beginning of the new year. Marshal of Dajindu and the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi led the original team, no, the number is less, less than 120,000, and it will be scraped together to 100,000 and launch a southern invasion again! This is expected, after defeat, you must take the initiative to attack, this was the case in the Liao State back then, and now the Jin State is also like this, otherwise you will not be able to maintain the posture of the upper country!

It is bound to be fought, but it is very particular where to fight. Ezhou is a forbidden area, and it must not be provoked. In Chuzhou, Han Shizhong's combat power is not as good as before, but he is still tough enough, and his profit is small, so it is not a good business. The only thing left is the area around Huainan West Road and Zhang Jun's jurisdiction. Over the years, we have known each other for many years, and this is the only soft persimmon at present...

On the 15th, the Jin army crossed the Huai River and attacked Shouchun Mansion on the Huainan West Road. Sun Hui and Lei Zhong resisted the city to resist the enemy, but they were breached, and the Jin army slaughtered more than 1,000 officers and soldiers in the city. After that, a pontoon bridge was erected on the Huai River, preparing for a large-scale southward invasion.

The response of the Southern Song Dynasty was only on a few main roads, galloping a fast horse every few hours. These horses are the most important "weapons" of Zhang Jun, the envoy of Huaixi Xuanfu

As the oldest general in the Southern Song Dynasty, Zhang Jun's style is the most classic. He strictly implemented the remote control policy, and the jurisdiction was handed over to his subordinate Yao Duan, whose army was stationed in Jiankang on the south bank of the Yangtze River, while he himself stayed in Lin'an, indulging in the beautiful scenery of the West Lake, maintaining close contact with the emperor at any time, learning policies... In this way, it is the style of work and life that a general should have!

So what should we do if the Jin army is killed and the jurisdiction is empty? No hurry! He prepared a lot of fast horses, forming a "Meteor Horse Rebuke" to quickly transmit the battle report to Jiangnan...

As for after the news? There is still no hurry, he can mobilize the army carefully and meticulously, and then convene a military conference in a meticulous and meticulous manner...

What the? Frontline war? Feel relieved! Nothing will be delayed. General Liu Qi is now in Taiping Prefecture, so he can lead his army to resist for a while...

On the 19th, Liu Qi was ordered to lead the Bazi Army to cross the river in Taiping Prefecture on the Jiangnan East Road to reinforce Huaixi. On the 25th, he went to Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road. At this time, the former Shunchang prefect who fought side by side with him a year ago, and the current Luzhou prefect Chen Gui had died of illness, and there were only more than 2,000 commanders Guan Shigu and his subordinate soldiers in the city.

However, it is said that Liu Qi has more soldiers at this time than in the Battle of Shunchang a year ago, and the city defense facilities in Luzhou, the first important town in Huaixi, are much stronger than those in Shunchang City.

But he circled around the city wall of Luzhou, and then said to Guan Shigu: Withdraw immediately! City defense is one thing, the speed of the Jin army killing is another, Shunchang left him at least 6 days to prepare, and now the vanguard of the Jin army has arrived!

On the 26th, the Jin army entered the city of Luzhou and immediately sent light cavalry to chase Liu Qi and caught up at Xishankou. But did not dare to attack. In the evening, the Jin army collected its troops and returned to the city. Liu Qi continued to withdraw. On the 27th, he withdrew to Dongguan in Hezhou. Here by the mountains and rivers, the shape shì is solid, and you can form a village for self-protection... At this time, Luzhou has been breached, along with the surrounding Wuwei Army and Hezhou...

At this point, the war has just broken out, Huaixi has lost most of it, and the Yangtze River defense line is under threat! Zhao Gou panicked, no matter what kind of inside story he had, he had to ensure the safety of the Yangtze River defense line! That's what it should be. Only then can he have bargaining chips and a peaceful and happy life. He strictly ordered Zhang Jun to immediately roll from Lin'an to the front line, and at the same time ordered Yang Yizhong's forbidden army to cross the river and go north. After that, I still didn't know the bottom of my heart, and habitually asked Ezhou for help!

Zhao Gou sent 100,000 troops to Yuzha in a hurry, asking Yue Fei to personally lead the army across the river to attack the Jin army to ensure the safety of the leader!

After Yue Fei received the order, he felt dizzy for a while. Where is this? If the three military forces of Zhang Jun, Liu Qi, and Yang Yizhong are combined, it has reached more than 130,000. This was the first time that Jianyan fought against the Jin army with superior forces after crossing to the south. Although Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong are not doing well now, Liu Qi is here. How can you ensure the safety of the Yangtze River? Taking advantage of this opportunity, he should be criticized for making trouble, besieging Wei to save Zhao, and he will send troops from Ezhou to the north again! In this way, the Song army will form a situation of encirclement and annihilate the elite soldiers of the Jin State in Henan with absolute superiority. So. The first war will determine the country, which is more direct and effective than recovering Kaifeng!

Yue Fei wrote this strategic intention into a chapter and reported to Lin'an urgently. Zhao Gou sent a reply at a faster pace, with a large number of ardent hopes wrapped in a central topic: "Now Jiangsu and Zhejiang are stationed." The thief horse is close to Huaixi, and it is the first to take the lead" Now the leader is in the area of Jiangsu and Zhejiang, and the Jin soldiers have been killed in Huaixi. That's the most important thing! Fly, don't make any trouble, come and save me!

On the Shaanxi side, on the 29th, Wanyan Sali sent Zhu Hebeile to lead thousands of cavalry to attack Shangzhou on the Yongxing military road. Zhizhou Shaolong Zhicheng can not be defended, but burns the warehouse, destroys the house and escapes.

On the 30th, Yang Yizhong was ordered to lead 30,000 troops in front of the palace to set off from Lin'an to the north.

Zhang Jun and Wang De were ordered to rush from Lin'an to Jiankang, where they joined up with the large army, and on February 4, they crossed the river and entered Hezhou on the Huainan West Road, while the Jin army in Hezhou retreated to Zhaoguan, more than 40 kilometers to the west. At this time, Zhang, Wang, and Yang joined forces, and there were already 130,000 people.

On the same day, Shao Long recovered Shangzhou.

Zhang Jun looked north, and suddenly he couldn't find the enemy... The Jurchens didn't know what they were doing, but after occupying Luzhou, Hezhou and other places, they began to slowly withdraw their troops... Zhang Jun can't figure it out, but why don't you take advantage of it?

On the 7th, Wang De defeated Han Chang, the general of Jinguo Town, east of Hanshan County, Hezhou. On the 10th, Guan Shigu and Li Heng recovered Wuwei Junchao County. Zhao Shi, the governor of Chuzhou in the Jin Kingdom, abandoned the city and fled. Zhang Jun sent Zhao Mi and Zhao Mi sent Zhang Shouzhong to lead 500 cavalry to pursue, and on the 12th, they were defeated in Quanjiao County. On the 13th, Liu Qi joined forces with Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong to capture Hanshan County and recapture Zhaoguan.

Facing Zhao Gou's frightened little heart, Yue Fei did not dare to delay, gave up the great opportunity of the Northern Expedition again, and immediately led the troops to Huaixi, crossed the river around the 11th, and approached the battlefield. It's a pity that before he really got close, Zhang Jun, the chief general of Huaixi, wrote a letter to him, telling him to stay away and keep his distance!

On the 15th, the Jin State changed the title of Yelu Yanxi, the emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, as the king of Yu. Zhao Ji, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, was the king of Tianshui County, and Zhao Huan was the prince of Tianshui County (the ancestral home of the Zhao and Song royal families was Tianshui, Qinzhou, so the Song Dynasty was also called Tianshui Dynasty in history)

The two sides of Song and Jin tacitly understood that they retreated and marched forward hand in hand, walking hand in hand on the Huaixi Plain. This state of affairs continued until Zhegao Town, where there was no army on Huainan West Road. This place is flat, the terrain is gentle, and the Jurchens will not leave after retreating here... 90,000 against 130,000, a decisive battle at the regimental level, of course, you have to choose a place where you can run away from the horse!

At this point, Zhang Jun and the others knew that something was wrong, and followed the Jurchens step by step to the opponent's home field. But it's nothing, the Song-Jin War in recent years is no longer the era when the enemy was feared like a tiger in the past, after countless victories, even Zhang Jun, Wang De, and Yang Yizhong, who had never defeated the Jin army head-on, were full of confidence... What's more, there is also Liu Qi, the lone hero of the Battle of Shunchang, in the array!

On the 16th, Liu Qi marched to the Shiliang River, an inland river of Chaohu Lake with a width of more than two zhang. The Jin soldiers have demolished the bridge and are waiting for it at Zhegao on the west bank. Liu Qi immediately ordered the soldiers to take firewood and grass to build the bridge, and soon built several pontoon bridges. On the 17th, the army of Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong came to rendezvous. The big war begins!

Han Chang divided the army of more than 100,000 into two teams, left and right, and waited for the Song army to attack. The person who provoked the first round of attacks was not Liu Qi, but Yang Yizhong, the boss of the forbidden army. In his early years, Yang Yizhong, known as the "blood man", rode into the city alone to defeat the bandits all over the city, which made Zhao Gou surprised and loved. This tradition was maintained, so he rushed out...

The Great Song Forbidden Army is really worthy of being the emperor's elite and strong... Honor guard! The vote rushed fast, lost faster, and after a while they ran back in droves...

The honor guard left the stage and began to sing. According to normal logic, it should be Liu Qi who has the strongest combat effectiveness at this time. Let him be cannon fodder to consume the strength of the Jin Army, and then General Zhang Da will come forward to make a final decision, it should be like this, right? It's a pity that this is not the case, Zhang Jun's officialdom has been in the military circle for so many years, and doing things has long been not normal, but extraordinary!

Let Liu Qi take the lead, it is likely to do another miracle and make a name for himself. Leave Liu Qi at the end, and if he loses, he can be used as a shield when escaping. Which of these two options is better? The latter, of course!

So he eliminated Yang Yizhong and squeezed out Liu Qi, Zhang Jun was the main general, and he would never go into battle in person, so the only thing left was Wang De. As the first general under Guangshi in the past, known as "Wang Yasha", his combat effectiveness can definitely be guaranteed!

Wang De and Tian Shizhong went to war, and the main direction of attack they chose was the right flank of the Jin Army, which was the elite abduction horse unit of the Jin Army. The light cavalry moved quickly and rushed towards Wang De. Unexpectedly, Wang De opened his bow and took an arrow, and an arrow hit the commander of the golden cavalry! The battlefield was in an uproar, and Wang Yasha waved his army in a fierce battle, crushing the Jin army and retreating in the direction of the Purple Mountain...

Zhegao won a great victory, and the Song army won a big victory at the cost of more than 900 casualties and more than 100,000 gold troops! Liu Qi happily said to Wang De, "In the past, I heard that the public was as powerful as a god, but now I see it, please serve the public with a brother's courtesy."

On the 19th, Zhang Jun took advantage of the victory to recover Luzhou, the capital of Huainan West Road, and reported the good news to Lin'an as soon as he entered the city. Zhao Gou was overjoyed when he heard the news, and he issued a commendation... The award certificate is still on the way, and Zhang Jun feels that the list of winners still needs to be considered. (To be continued......)
