'Listening to your words is better than reading a book for ten years', Zhao Ta once again understood the deep meaning that knowledge is the strength of the force, even Skynet has loopholes to drill, and he knew that these two people told themselves their minds in disguise, but the two old foxes and a little fox tacitly agreed.

Zhao Ta had a plan in his heart, so he settled down and watched the changes in the situation, he secretly ordered Zhao Ren Zhao Ren to pay close attention to the war preparations, and began to carry out pre-war mobilization to ensure that the team could be pulled out at any time and win. At the same time, additional intelligence personnel were dispatched to Kaifeng and Taiyuan to collect intelligence so that they could keep abreast of the battlefield dynamics and developments and provide support for their own military operations.

At this moment, the Western Route Army led by Zong Han was blocked under the city of Taiyuan, although they launched several fierce attacks, but the Song army's ability to defend the city was far superior to that of the Liao army. After several strong attacks on Taiyuan, Zong Han was anxious to join the Eastern Route Army and decided to bypass Taiyuan to attack Fenzhou, and the two cities of the Weisheng Army were not smooth. Moreover, the western army of the Song Dynasty may cross the river at any time to reinforce Taiyuan and flank the Jin army, so that Wanyan Zonghan did not dare to lead the army deep like Han Li, and fell into a stalemate for a while.

The rapid advance of the Jindong Route Army caught the Song Dynasty off guard, and the Hebei frontier collapsed in an instant, and the Jingshi Forbidden Army looked vulnerable in front of the Jurchen Iron Cavalry. The Song Dynasty had to reorganize the remnants of the defeated army to hold the Kaifeng city wall, and at the same time urgently reinstate the old general Seed Master Dao, and led the western army to the east to the king of Qin.

However, since the peace with the Western Xia Army, the southern expedition to square La, and the northern expedition to Yanyun, the exhausted Western army has been continuously transferred to the southeast, Hebei, and Hedong, and the remaining troops are scattered on the vast Song-Xia border, and it is too late to assemble in a short time.

After meeting with his younger brother Qin Feng, the envoy of the Seed Division, and Yao Gu, the envoy of Xihe Jingluo, he decided to send the only mobile force at this time, Yao Pingzhong, to ride 7,000 lightly armed to the east. Along the way, a large number of reinforcements seem to be on the march. And the seed master Zhong and Yao Gu gathered a large army and followed. After the Shangyuan Festival, the soldiers of Qinwang from all over the country arrived in Beijing one after another, and the seed master also led the army to arrive.

Zhao Huan summoned the planter to ask about state affairs. He thought that the Jurchens did not know the art of war, how could they go deep into other countries alone and return safely; Jingshi City is high and sufficient, as long as it is closely defended, the Jin army will be trapped for a long time. opposed the cession of land and sued for peace, but at the same time said that he only obeyed the emperor in military affairs, and did not want to ask about other matters. However, Li Gang asked for unified command of the army of the Seed Master Dao, but Zhao Huan asked the Seed Master Dao to be the same as the Privy Council and the Xuanfu Envoy of the Gyeonggi Lianghe, and Yao Pingzhong was the commander of the Xuanfu Division, and explained that Li Gang's pro-conquest camp division and the Xuanfu Division of the Seed Master Dao could not infringe on each other. This arrangement has resulted in the separation of commanding powers. The inconsistency of command made it difficult to implement the established strategy of defending the city.

After presiding over the defense of the capital, he thought that the current army was insufficient, and it was not suitable to go to war if there was more than enough to defend the army, and as long as he held on for a while, the Jin army would definitely retreat. But he thinks so, and some people don't think so, that is, Yao Pingzhong, the deputy capital commander, who is eager to make contributions. On the grounds that the soldiers asked for war, they asked the emperor to fight. This is exactly what Zhao Huan, who was eager to win a victory to establish his position, immediately promised a heavy reward and agreed, and Li Gang did not object. So he formulated a battle plan for the night attack on the Jin army.

It stands to reason that military operations are the most secrecy, and leaking military information is a serious crime, but Zhao Huan, a 'military blind', showed great enthusiasm for the first battle he presided over. Originally, the monarch had agreed to launch a surprise attack on the Jin army on the sixth day of the second month. But Zhao Huan, who has always believed in Buddhism, suddenly went crazy. I converted to the immortals, and I found a warlock to choose the date of the army. After some calculation, it was changed to the first day of February.

The warlocks originally thought that after the new emperor who believed in Buddhism and did not believe in the Tao ascended the throne, their Taoist priests would be unlucky. The emperor actually asked himself to decide on military affairs, which made him excited, so he drank two glasses of celebration, and as soon as his brain was hot, he leaked his mouth, and told the story that the Great Song Dynasty was going to fight back, and the people who also hoped for victory immediately spread the news to everyone, and poured into the streets every day, waiting for the good news of sending troops and reporting victory.

And Zhao Huan also seemed to feel that this battle would be won, so he ordered someone to erect three big flags next to the Kaibao Temple in the city, with the text of reporting victory written on them, and was ready to use them to report to the palace when he won the battle. He also set up his royal tent on the Fengqiu Gate Tower, as a viewing platform for the Song army and the prisoner sacrifice ceremony when he greeted the triumphant Song army when he was victorious, this is not a fool or a god horse? It is equivalent to reporting the letter to Jin Jun early, so that Jin Jun has sufficient time to prepare.

At this time, after Yang Kesheng, who was on standby at this time, received the holy decree, he was surprised to learn that the rumors of the robbery of the camp were true. He is different from Yao Pingzhong, his mind is meticulous, he himself is a soldier who died in battle, but he feels that this matter is absolutely difficult to succeed, his own death and fame is still a trivial matter, and the loss of credibility of the country while talking about peace talks is a matter of the national system. It's easy to say anything if the attack wins, but if it is defeated, if the Jin State gets angry, it may kill King Su and Prime Minister Zhang Bangyan, who were hostages on the Jin army's side.

So Yang Kesheng took the initiative to propose that he draw up a letter of determination to ask for war, pretending that his request for war was rejected, and in a fit of anger, he made his own initiative to fight against the Jin people, hoping to swear to death. Zhao Huan also felt that this was appropriate, so he allowed him to carry it out.

On the night of February 1, Yao Pingzhong led 7,000 cavalry to carry out the plan, and it goes without saying that the Jin army, which had been prepared for a long time, carried out a counter-sneak attack and killed the Song army. Yang Kesheng fought without retreating and captured the golden man alive. As he had hoped, the Jurchens were furious and brutally killed him. However, Yao Pingzhong, who advocated the battle, was afraid of being punished by the master of the Dao, so he abandoned the army and died, and ran away without even entering the city!

The seed master Daoyuan did not approve of the robbery of the camp, but now he thought that it was better to plan and send troops to harass him every day, and within ten days, the Jin soldiers would retreat, but Li Bangyan refused. Han Li did not send an envoy to ask for the crime and investigate the responsibility for the robbery of the camp, Li Bangyan did not dare to let the emperor take responsibility, and completely pushed it to Li Gang and Yao Pingzhong. Zhao Huan's phobia of gold flared up again, dismissed Li Gang and the seed master, revoked the pro-levy camp division, sent an envoy to apologize, and handed over the three towns.

Zhao Huan's actions once again exposed his uneasy nature, his innate lack of fortitude, his actions revealed reckless impulsiveness and recklessness, and his will lacked toughness and endurance. Once victorious, he was ecstatic and thought he was the best in the world. Once you lose, you will be depressed and discouraged, and you will feel that everything is resting, and you will fall into a long-term malaise from the previous excitement. This state of mind, which is easily impulsive and loves to go to extreme immaturity, has disastrous consequences for the future of the country and the fate of the individual... (To be continued......)
