The predecessors said that Zhang Jun's Northern Expedition route was chosen on the Huainan East Road, on the grounds that Shao Hongyuan's departure point for crossing Huai was in Xuyi, which was in the territory of Huainan East Road, while Li Xianzhong's departure point for crossing Huai was far away at the east end of Huainan West Road, close to the East Road. So it was concluded that the war broke out in the jurisdiction of the former Han Shizhong...

This is not accurate! The Song army set out from this, but the targets of the attack were all on Huainan West Road, which was Zhang Jun's defense area back then, and it was far away from Han Shizhong's control range!

This difference is not a matter of right or wrong in historical data, but involves the relationship between the sea and the navy, the winner and loser of the war. Zhang Jun did a huge and detailed investigation before the war, and learned that the heavy troops of the Jin army were concentrated in the Henan area, the two Huai were relatively empty, and the naval army was disabled by Li Bao in the process of completing the southern invasion of Yan Liang, and it has not recovered so far. Then taking Huainan Road as the direction of the general attack on the land, and the East Road naval camera assisting, is the most reasonable configuration.

This month, the Jin army captured Huanzhou on Qingyuan Road, and the Southern Song Dynasty defender Qiang Ni and his brother Qiang Zhen were both killed in battle.

On May 1, he returned to the capital to meet him. Jin Shizong immediately named him the prime minister and marshal of the capital, and immediately rushed to Kaifeng to sit in the town, control the generals, and make every effort to deal with the Longxing Northern Expedition of the Southern Song Dynasty!

On the 12th, Zhang Jun crossed the Yangtze River and personally supervised the front line! On the same day, Li Xianzhong led the West Route Army and Shao Hongyuan led the East Route Army to cross the Huai River, and the Longxing Northern Expedition of the Xiaozong Dynasty officially began!

Li Xianzhong led the Western Route Army to reach the steep ditch. At this time, he made two preparations: one was to draw the knife out of the sheath and wait for the fight, and the other was to move out a chair, sit down quietly, and wait for the chief general of the Jin army to bring another chair over, and the two could chat face-to-face...

Because the Jin army on the opposite side will be Xiao Qi. That's right! It was the vanguard officer of the middle of the Jin army when Yan Liang invaded the south, and led the 100,000 Jin army through the two Huai and defeated the Khitan man of Shao Hongyuan! Back to the last war after the end of the battle of Quarry Rock, the Jin army moved to the Guazhou ferry, Li Xianzhong once led more than 10,000 Song troops to cross the river to challenge, recover Huaixi County, and fought fiercely with the Jin Condor Army near Hengshan Stream, and won a big victory...

The prestige of Shaanxi Li's and a generation of famous generals immediately became a sensation in Jinying! It made many Jin Army generals fall into memories. Among them is Xiao Qi...

Xiao Qi has always been a Khitan, even if he is reused in the Jin country, he still has his heart for his homeland. Coincidentally, when the first Khitan uprising broke out, Xiao Qi had an idea, why didn't he secretly collude with the Southern Song Dynasty on the front line, and cooperate with the outside to bring down the Jin State and take the opportunity to restore the Liao State? If it succeeds, there will be the Song Dynasty in the south, the uprising in the middle, and the Western Liao in the north, and the Jin State is still killing each other, no matter what, there is a great opportunity...

Xiao Qi secretly sent someone to contact Li Xianzhong. To realize this plan...

Li Xianzhong is very happy, he doesn't care whether Xiao Qi's wish can be realized or not, he only needs Xiao Qi to cooperate with him to cross Huai, enter Bozhou from Suzhou, go straight to Kaifeng, the old capital, clear Shaanxi from Kaifeng, and return to his hometown of Yanyan! There, his prestige represents a qiē, and the Han people will immediately respond, quickly amassing tens of thousands of troops as they did back then! At that time, he alone could recover the lost land in Shaanxi!

Now, Li Xianzhong's front is the "ally" Xiao Qi. It depends on whether this Khitan man is talking and counting, and whether he has changed his mind in battle?

Li Xianzhong felt that there was a great possibility of changing the hexagram, citing time. If he had operated it at that time, Xiao Qi would definitely have nothing to say. directly became a golden traitor, but at this time, the first Khitan uprising was extinguished, and Emperor Wanyan Bao was stable, and it is estimated that Xiliao didn't even know the letter. Let Xiao Qi keep the contract again, it's simply unkind...

As he expected, Xiao Qi was riding a horse when he came. With a large group of kidnappers and horses, the chairs or anything didn't look at it. So the two sides fought in a steep ditch, Li Xianzhong's arsenal really didn't have many tricks, he was a Kansai man, like the former Western Army, who dared to collide, brave in field battles, and good at galloping!

His Western Route Army fought in a steep ditch with the abducted horses, and won a great victory in the fierce collision, and then tightly bit the defeated Jin cavalry, making them dare not gain a foothold in the field, forcing them to retreat to the base camp Lingbi... Lingbi is the largest baggage stronghold of the Jin army in this area, with a tall city and a lot of grain and grass, which is a nail that Li Xianzhong must pull out in his northern expedition. On the same day, Li Xianzhong chased after him, bit Xiao Qi tightly, and drove the Jin army to Lingbi City, and then began the second round of fierce battles...

Siege the city, kill the enemy in one, and get things done in one go! The matter was really over that day, the battle outside the Lingbi City was Xiao Qi's second consecutive defeat in a day, and his subordinate kidnappers and horses were crippled by Li Xianzhong like the iron harriers of Western Xia, and they didn't even have room to retreat into the city gate, so they scattered under the city wall, and fled in all directions...

How does this make the people in the city embarrassed? The abducted horse is the ace of the Jin Army, and Xiao Qi is the leading general of the Jin Army, these two pillars that support the psychological bottom line of the Jurchens were twisted by Li Xianzhong in public, and they immediately collapsed!

The gate of Lingbi City was opened, and Xiao Qi led the Jurchens to come out in a queue to surrender... Li Xianzhong entered the city and promised the people of the city: as long as he supports the Southern Song Dynasty, he guarantees that everyone will live well, and this also applies to the Jurchens!

Lingbi City became calm, as if it had been governed by Li Xianzhong for many years...

At the same time, Shao Hongyuan's Eastern Route Army fell into... It's not a bitter battle, it's an embarrassment. Tens of thousands of Eastern Route troops crossed the Huai River and attacked Hongxian as planned. There are few dwarf soldiers in Hongxian County, only a few thousand gold troops, this is an obvious appetizer, take care of this descendant Shao, and make a good start to boost morale...

It is said that with Shao Hongyuan's hardness during the Battle of Xupu Bridge, Su zhì of Han Shizhong's subordinates back then, and troops with several times superiority, he would easily win it no matter what? After catching up with Li Xianzhong's footsteps, he joined forces to besiege Suzhou...

It's a pity that things didn't go according to this law, Shao Hongyuan fought a mess under such an advantage, and Hongxian always stood still!

When the news came, Li Xianzhong was silent. This was the case at the beginning, can we still look forward to the future? But the Northern Expedition requires concerted efforts, and even if the individual corps is as strong as the Yuejia Army back then, it will be in vain. Xingshì demanded that his Western Route Army must go and pull it, otherwise it would affect the entire Northern Expedition! However, Li Xianzhong did not divide his troops to support, he just sent some of the Jin army soldiers who surrendered to Lingbi City. In his opinion, this is enough!

A generation of famous generals looked like torches, and they saw through the essence of Hongxian at a glance! The Jin army there can withstand Shao Hongyuan, relying on one breath. The scum in the army has too soft a knife handle to cut this breath, but he is different! You don't have to do it at all, just bring a message to the past, and it will be over in one qiē!

This is indeed the case, as soon as the Lingbi Surrender arrived, the Jin army in Hongxian County immediately collapsed. The defenders Fuchatmo and Da Zhouren surrendered and gave up resistance...

Finally passed... But Shao Hongyuan was so angry that he died! It's already embarrassing to not be able to fight the city, and it's even more shameless to be helped, and the way to help is to persuade the pawns to surrender, which is simply a slap in the face! His face was crackled by Li Xianzhong, and the entire military camp could hear it!

People are losing a lot of money, but things still have to be done. The Eastern and Western Northern Expeditionary Army had to act in unison, and the two main generals had to collude, and as a result, something happened when they met!

A Jurchen soldier probably thought that Li Xianzhong was very kind, and took the time to report the situation, saying that Shao Hongyuan's subordinates had snatched one of his sabers. How should this be understood? Grabbed a saber? This doesn't seem to be a mistake, and it's normal to collect weapons on the battlefield. Some people will say that there is a difference, because the Jin army in Hong County surrendered on its own initiative, and they surrendered their guns and didn't kill them, okay? The problem is that they didn't kill it, but they turned it into robbery, so do they have to allow these sworn enemies to keep their weapons after surrendering?

I can only say: I don't understand why this Jin Junjun soldier should sue? Why do you feel wronged?

What matters is the reaction of a generation of famous players! Li Xianzhong was furious and immediately sent someone to ask Shao Hongyuan: Is there such a thing? If so, hand them over immediately!

Shao Hongyuan handed over the people... It is said that this is very face-saving, the army is all short guards, if you don't protect your shortcomings, which soldier is willing to give you his life? Maybe Shao Hongyuan thinks he has been very stubborn lately, right? couldn't raise his head in front of Li Xianzhong, so he handed over things very obediently, and even threw aside the principle of protecting the short... But he didn't expect Li Xianzhong to cut that person off with a knife!

After the previous analysis, it can be seen that it is difficult to determine whether this matter is even a mistake or not, so why kill the head? And Li Xianzhong was very understanding and even merciful when he dealt with the Lingbi Descendants, so why was he so harsh and cruel to Shao Hongyuan's subordinates?

Many people's interpretation is for the military discipline of the Northern Expeditionary Army! The reason why the Eastern Route Army was unable to open the situation for a long time and was delayed outside the small Hongxian County was mostly due to the low morale of military discipline. Shao Hongyuan can't be rectified, so Li Xianzhong must do it for him! Otherwise, the great cause of the Northern Expedition is doomed to be in vain!

This makes sense, but in addition to this, you should think about it further: Shao Hongyuan's precondition for the war, he is not willing to succumb to himself, and he has to get to the same level! This is a provocation and the most taboo thing in the army! There is only one way to solve it, and that is to suppress it, and only after showing personal authority can it be forbidden and ordered!

A generation of famous generals disdain power calculations, he uses the method of doing things between generals! Send soldiers to break the city and humiliate with strength. If you kill Liwei again, you will kill your subordinates, what's the matter?

Shao Hongyuan was silent, he couldn't resist. Comparison between the two: Li Xianzhong's fame can't be compared, his strength is even more far away, the actual combat effect is beaten in the face, and it is a humiliation to talk about every step... Then just shut up!

Shao Hongyuan didn't speak. Li Xianzhong asked him what to do next, but he didn't say. Ask him when he will act, or not say. sued him that the Western Route Army was going to attack Suzhou as originally planned, but Shao Hongyuan still didn't say... This is not illegal, no matter how fierce you are, it's not okay for Lao Tzu to be silent? Besides, after all, you can't command me, because we are both the same in office!

Only then did Li Xianzhong see Shao Hongyuan's true face clearly! This man is not a tough guy at all, just a hob meat, a soldier ruffian! (To be continued......)
