Chapter 181: Self-Destruction of the Great Wall

200,000 Song Dynasty troops who pursued Yan Wushu, of which more than 30,000 Shengjie troops were to be brought back to Bianliang City in Tokyo by Seed Master Dao and Geng Nanzhong; The remaining 160,000 Northwest troops did not rush back to the northwest border, but were stationed on the periphery of Yanshan Mansion, waiting for the imperial court to send them.

On the official road of Yanshan Mansion, all the generals gathered to see off the planter.

Seed Master Dao pulled Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu to him, and said with some sadness: "During this time, I have been restless, which is unprecedented; Entering the palace this time, I am afraid that something has changed. I'm old, it's not a pity to die, and the only thing I'm worried about is the two of you. ”

"Worried about the two of us, what do you mean, big brother?" The two of them, Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu, were very puzzled by what the Seed Master Dao was saying, and asked in unison.

"There was originally only one Northwest Army in Shanxi, named Qin Fengjun. But later, Tong Guan's eunuch interfered in the military affairs of the northwest, and he insisted on dividing Qin Feng's army into Hebei and Hedong; nominally they are fighting each other, but in fact they are opposing each other, fighting for power and power, and disobeying each other; After a long time, there is not much left of the friendship left by the ancestors of the two families. ”

The planter talks about the past and the present, is impartial, and directly picks out the matter; Seed Master Zhong and Yao Gu couldn't help but bow their heads, secretly ashamed.

"This time, it was not easy for me to reunite Qin Fengjun and restore the glory of my Northwest Road army. It's a pity that this time the imperial court transferred me back to Beijing, and the Northwest Army will face another separation. ”

The more he spoke, the more sad he became, and he pointed at Yao Gu and said: "Your Eastern Route Army is dominated by pikemen, although they are brave, but they are not enough archers. With infantry against the heavy cavalry of the Jurchens. You can only be beaten passively. There is no chance of victory. ”

The Seed Master Dao pointed his finger at the Seed Master and said, "Although your ballista and archers are powerful, their melee defense is too weak, and their movement is not flexible, and their defects are too prominent; Either win or defeat, and it's not the way of a soldier. ”

"Back then, the eunuch Tong Guan arranged this way, and it was also ill-intentioned, so that both of you would be subject to him. You two must remember. For the Shangjin people, it is necessary for the two families to join forces in one place to have a chance of winning; Otherwise, it will only be broken by the golden people individually. Together, there are two benefits, and there are two injuries when divided. Remember, remember"

On a whim, the seed master felt bad about himself, and he was afraid that something would happen, so he had to talk bitterly to the two brothers and patiently and in detail.

Unexpectedly, the words of the planter. It turned out to be the last words of the most embarrassing; And Yao Gu was careless for a while, and did not follow the instructions of the seed master. led to the tragic ending of the seed master who died in the battle and fled to Lingnan. That's an afterword

Seed Master Dao and Geng Nanzhong rushed back to Beijing with more than 30,000 victorious troops, and met Li Gang who rushed to the front line with orders halfway.

After returning to Bianliang Castle in Tokyo, the master was withdrawn from his military power by the imperial court on the grounds of being too old and ineffective in combat, and he was also promoted to the envoy of the first palace of Zhongtai.

Although the official rank of the envoy of the first palace of Zhongtai is high, he is an idle job and has nothing to do. (The whole Song Dynasty volume 3684> Li Xuan4. Kanbunden University Scholar Nakataiyi Palace Envoy Except for Shao Bao Dazai System)

Soon, the planter received a royal wine from the imperial court, and died three days later. He was 76 years old

Wanyan Wushu's troops retreated, but they did their best to lead the elite of their headquarters, including the abducted horses and Tiefutu, as well as the five golden wolf warriors, together with the two hostages, Zhao Shu, the king of Su, and Cao Sheng, the commander of the horses, to join Wanyan Muhan's Western Route Army.

Wanyan Sticky Han used Zhao Shu, the king of Su, and Cao Sheng, the commander of the horses, to open the gate of Taiyuan, but Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and Wang Yu, the guard general, resolutely refused to allow it, and shot Zhao Shu and Cao Sheng on the spot.

A month later, under the vigorous impetus of Li Gang, the Song court decided to send Qin Feng's army to Yanshan Mansion to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.

However, at the instigation of Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke, Emperor Qinzong sent Xu Han, the governor of the Privy Council, as the supervising army, and Qin Feng's army was divided into three, with Zhang Hao, the son of Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, each commanding a part of the troops, named the Tianwei Army, the Weisheng Army and the Weiyuan Army, and forced into Taiyuan in three ways.

In the early days, the Song army won all three ways, and the good news was frequent, and the lost ground was subdued one after another.

Yao Gu led the Weisheng army to attack Longde Mansion first, recovered it in one fell swoop, and annihilated many Jin soldiers. The prestige of the Wasion Army was great, and the limelight was unmatched for a while.

Immediately afterwards, the Tianwei army in the division first captured the Dingjun, and then took advantage of the victory to recover Shouyang and Yuci. And agreed with Yao Gu and Zhang Hao to join forces in Yuci and fight a decisive battle with Jin Bing.

At this time, the troops in the division were less than a hundred miles away from Taiyuan City.

However, under Xu Han's manipulation, Yao Gu and Zhang Hao did not arrive at Yuci on time as agreed and joined the Tianwei army in the seed division.

It was also because of Xu Han that the middle of the planter did not even have heavy grain and grass, and he resisted the Jin soldiers alone in Yuci, was defeated, and died of exhaustion.

History of the Song Dynasty. The Biography of the Chronicles reads as follows:

Yogu and Zhang Hao are both advancing, and they have no time to follow the rewards. In May, he arrived at the stone pit of Shouyang and was attacked by the Jin people. Three wins in five battles, return to Yuci, go to Taiyuan for 100 miles, and Gu and Hao are not lost, and the soldiers are very hungry. When the enemy knew about it, they attacked, the right army collapsed and the front army also ran. In the division, the soldiers fought to the death with their subordinates, from Mao to Si, and the soldiers sent a divine arm bow to shoot back the golden soldiers, and the reward was too late, and the resentment was dispersed, and only 100 people remained. The division was wounded four times, and he died in a fight

The seed division is dead, and the Tianwei army is scattered; The Jin soldiers continued their pursuit, defeating Yao Gu's Weisheng army at Pantuo, and as a result, Lund Mansion was regained. The imperial court decreed that Yao Gu should be demoted to his military position, and Yao Gu was demoted to Guangzhou, Lingnan, where he was depressed for the rest of his life.

It was not until this time that Yao Gufang understood the parting words of the seed master, and it was too late to regret it.

The scattered men and horses of the seed division and Yao Gu were concentrated in Yanshan Mansion, waiting for the imperial court to fall. However, they were all dismissed by Geng Nanzhong and Tang Ke on the grounds that the imperial court was not enough money.

The rest of the Northwest Army led by Zhang Hao was not convinced, and even did not obey the military order and returned to Yan'an Mansion on their own.

The first attempt of the Song Dynasty to relieve the siege of Taiyuan was declared a failure.

Since then, the strongest team in the battle of the Northern Song Dynasty, Qin Fengjun, has disappeared and disappeared in the long river of history.

Two months later, Emperor Qinzong organized a second battle to relieve the siege of Taiyuan.

However, at this time, the Song Dynasty no longer had any fighting spirit: the hundreds of thousands of horses that were improvised and beaten by the Jin soldiers were no longer the same as the first battle to break the siege.

Finally, after holding on for more than 250 days, Taiyuan City ran out of grain and fell on the third day of September.

The guard Wang Yu was killed in battle, and his body was trampled into meat by Wanyan Muhan to ride his horses to vent his anger.

Taishou Zhang Xiaochun was captured and taken to the clouds

As soon as Taiyuan City was broken, the east and west sides of Tokyo Bianliang City no longer had any natural hazards and barriers to rely on to protect. As long as the weather is cold and the Yellow River is frozen, the Jin people can go directly to Kaifeng Mansion at any time and ask for the Great Song Dynasty.
