Prelude to the Peace
This was brought back by the original Southern Song Dynasty envoy who was detained in the Jin Kingdom, and after Zhao Gou and Qin Hui received the letter, they were sincerely frightened on the surface, but secretly happy. Looking forward to the stars and the moon, I finally looked forward to this intention...
Damn Jin Wushu, this unlucky kid, he finally reached peace back then, and he had to fight. The result? Was he disabled by Yue Fei? Only then did I know the benefits of peace!
Zhao Gou immediately wrote a reply, in which he admitted his status as a subordinate state, admitted a mistake, and at the same time shirked a mistake, which was all done by a few front-line generals on their own initiative! And he himself is extremely yearning for peace, and asks His Royal Highness the Fourth Crown Prince to convey it to His Majesty the Emperor of Jin...
Discussion and reconciliation are once again on the agenda, so do you still need to let Yue Fei go? So Yue Fei got out of class!
The above is the external factor of Yue Fei's dismissal, and beyond this is the edict of Yue Fei's recall. Chinese characters are very exquisite, Chinese officialdom philosophy is very profound, the layout of the national hand is pressing step by step, and every process is a foreshadowing for follow-up means!
In the edict, it was said that Yue Fei had a "deep provocation" and "a shocking reputation, and the good and obedient people" emperor "remembered the merits and covered up, favored the lenient branch of Quanlu, in order to fulfill the contract of the monarch and the minister, and the meritorious servants always "wanted Yue Fei" to have no suspicions. Yue Fei's dismissal was convicted. There is a reason left for further processing that may occur later!
Yue Fei's writing is wonderful, the hidden dangers in this dismissal system are clear to a discerning person, will he not know? He was advised to do something remedy, such as asking to see the emperor to further profess his loyalty. Or after the dismissal, he didn't go anywhere, he retired in Lin'an City, and was always under close official surveillance, saying that he would never have a second heart...
But Yue Fei didn't, he drove Jane from the road and went back to his private residence in Jiangzhou... Yue Fei was lonely and arrogant and stayed away from Lin'an. Behind him, Lin'an City was boiling. Is this a sign of weakness or a challenge? Is it to cut itself off from the officialdom and the military from now on, completely harmless? Or revenge. Stay away from the imperial capital and secretly contact the old ministry outside?
This is impossible to determine, because Yue Fei is still full of wings in theory, and no outsiders can intervene in the Yue family's army, as long as the two sides converge, there is still enough power to subvert the Southern Song Dynasty court!
Kang, the mother of Hu Shijiang, the deputy envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, died. But on the 28th, Zhao Gote edicted that Hu Shi would regain his affection. On the 29th, he ordered his brother Hu Yanbo to regain his affection. Because of the Shaanxi battlefield, Song Jin was fighting. The two Jin generals, Hushan and Di Bulu, led 50,000 Jin troops to camp in Liujiaquan. The three major generals of Shuzhong, Wu Lan, Yang Zheng, and Guo Hao, collectively gathered under the tent of the immortal Yuan Hu Shijiang. Wu Xuan asked for 30,000 elite soldiers, and vowed to break the two enemies and recover the lost territory of Qin Long. If not. He will pay for his sins with death. In the end, General Hu Shi gave Wu Lan 28,000 soldiers to let him go on the expedition, and ordered Yang Zheng to go out of Shangyuan and Guo Hao to go out of Shangzhou in solidarity.
At this time, Wu Xuan can be said to have surpassed his brother Wu Jue, and he created the most advanced, complex, and reasonable infantry and cavalry formation of the Song army on the battlefield, and its method is as follows:
At the time of battle, the first row was composed of pikemen, who sat in a semi-squat position and could not stand up, forming a wall of spears. The strongest bow in the second row and the strongest bow in the third row. Fourth row of divine arm bows. In addition, not far away, is another position of the same configuration. The array is surrounded by a barrier to resist horses, connected by iron hooks, and a hundred paces away when encountering the enemy. The Divine Arm Bow strikes first; At 70 paces, both teams shoot again with strong bows; The cavalry was hidden on the flanks ... This configuration allowed the Song army to get out of the bunker and compete with the Jin cavalry on the flat ground of the wilderness!
And within the Southern Song Dynasty court, Zhao Gou and Qin Hui's actions to assassinate Yue Fei quickly unfolded! Step 1. First dismantle Yue Fei's staff team.
After years of conquest, Yue Fei gathered a large number of loyal literati and strategists, such as Li Ruoxu and others. They were dismissed as local officials as early as when Yue Fei went to work in the Privy Council, but there were still 11 people who did not leave. Even if they were expelled from public office, they still accompanied Yue Fei at all times.
At this time, a piece of paper was immediately dismantled. It's not an exaggeration at all, there are to Guangnan East Road, there are to Guangnan West Road, there are to Jiangnan West Road, and there are more to Nanjianzhou... Make sure they can't talk to each other!
The staff is scattered, and the next turn is the army. At this time, it was late August, and the privy envoy Zhang Jun, who was sitting in Zhenjiang Mansion, ordered the military director of Ezhou to see, asking Wang Gui first and then Zhang Xian to come in batches...
So Wang Gui arrived first, and Zhang Jun's reception was like an old friend. The two talked a lot, and the topic gradually turned to Yue Fei: Wang Gui! Yue Fei once beat your board hard and almost killed you. Now that the opportunity has come, do you want to take revenge?
Wang Gui shook his head. This is a common thing in the army, and you can't talk about that!
Zhang Jun simply made it clear and said: This is what Prime Minister Qin meant, as long as you help bring down Yue Fei, it will be easy to discuss...
Wang Gui still shook his head, he can become the number three person in the Yue family's army, his ability is not strong, his mind is not strong, and he is by no means tempted and shaken by fame and fortune!
Ahh Zhang Jun smiled, let's talk about things in a different way: Wang Gui, something in a certain year, a certain month, don't think that others don't know!
Wang Gui was stunned, he was not a completely upright person, he could not be tempted, but he could not be coerced! History has not recorded which of his private affairs was caught by Zhang Jun, but when he came out of Zhenjiang Mansion, he was no longer the same Wang Gui as before...
On September 1, Zhang Xian and Yue Yun set off from Ezhou to see Zhang Jun. But they don't know that the end of the road is... Cell!
The first 7 days were peaceful, and no one noticed anything. The 7th day arrived, and on the 8th, a person named Wang Jun suddenly jumped out and took a written document to testify that Zhang Xian, Yue Yun and Yue Fei colluded to rebel! To recapture the army, to blackmail the imperial court!
Wang Jun is a fierce general in the Yue family army and Zhang Xian's deputy, and he has made outstanding achievements. But he also has a nickname called "Wang Diao'er", which refers to evil birds, fighting for things in the flock of birds, and harming his colleagues. Wang Jun is like this evil bird, a black sheep!
Wang Jun devoted a huge amount of space to a detailed record of his secret conversation with Zhang Xian one night. The content is that Zhang Xian told him that Yue Fei secretly sent someone to send a message, asking Zhang Xian to pull all the people across the north bank of the Yangtze River and enter Xiangyang Mansion. This will make the imperial court understand Yue Fei's status, so as to ensure Yue Fei's safety, and even return to military power!
This is really a heinous crime, and it is an out-and-out rebellion! So out of loyalty, Wang Jun denounced this matter! At the end of the whistleblower letter, Wang Jun added the following sentence: "Taiwei Zhang said: Xianggong Yue came to teach him to save him, but Jun has never seen anyone coming, nor has he seen Taiwei Zhang send someone to go to Xianggong's office." Zhang Taiwei made this statement, so he wanted to anger everyone and betray the imperial court, "No one came." No one went, so did Zhang Xian just complain? Is this also a sin?
Whether it is or not, that's enough! Wang Jun handed over this whistleblower letter to Wang Gui, and his mission was over! And Wang Gui held these pieces of paper, his heart wandered, he never wanted to do this, but he couldn't help it... After weighing it, he handed over the whistleblower letter to Rong Xu, the transfer judge of Jinghu North Road. Rong Xue didn't take this hot potato, and the original was returned. At this point, there was no choice but to hand over these pieces of paper to Qin Hui's friend Lin Dasheng. Lin Dasheng quickly handed over to Zhang Jun of Zhenjiang Mansion...
Then. Zhang Xian and Yue Yun just arrived at Zhenjiang Mansion and walked into Zhang Jun's big tent... Precise control! Make sure that Yue Fei's closest and closest people throw themselves into the net!
After Zhang Xian and Yue Yun entered Zhang Jun's big tent, they were detained as soon as possible! Zhang Jun ordered an interrogation on the spot, and if necessary, the execution could be moved!
The intention of extorting confessions by torture is undisguised! But he was rejected by his subordinates. The Privy Council ordered Liu Xingren and Wang Yingqiu to "According to the laws of the Great Song Dynasty, the Privy Council has no right to open a torture hall, and it has no right to interrogate officials at any level" Zhang Jun sneered, then get out, let this privy envoy do it himself!
Zhang Jun has been waiting for this day for a long time. All his resentment, envy, and jealousy of Yue Fei for a long time have been vented! He grabbed Yue Fei's lifeblood! Personally tortured Yue Fei's most trusted beloved general and Yue Fei's eldest son... What a joy this is!
Zhang Xian and Yue Yun were tortured to the point that their bodies were incomplete, but from beginning to end, Zhang Jun failed to get what he wanted. The most perfect lie he could make up in his mind was nothing more than saying that Zhang Xian accepted Yue Fei's instructions. It was Yue Yun who instigated the army to rebel and blackmail the imperial court, and acted as a bridge between Jiangzhou and Ezhou...
But what about the evidence? Zhang Jun felt that there should be a letter. What about credibility? I can't find it... Very good! That must have been burned by Zhang Xian after he got it!
As stupid and stupid as it is, even though there is no evidence at all, it is enough. Zhang Jun carries these imaginary charges. escorted Zhang Xian and Yue Yun, who were covered in bruises, to Lin'an, and threw them into the prison of Dali Temple... At this point, the net has been opened, and only Yue Fei enters the urn!
13th. Wu Lan killed under the city of Qinzhou, and Yang Zheng killed under the city of Wushan County, Longzhou, and confronted the Jin army respectively.
On the same day, Sizhou on Huainan East Road: Mo Jiang and Han Shu, the Song envoys who were detained by the Jin State in the past, were released, bringing Wanyan Zongbi's intention to negotiate peace. But on the other hand, Wanyan Zongbi also led the army again to invade the Southern Song Dynasty. This time, the position he chose was still Huainan Zhang Jun's defense area, and the preferred target was Sizhou. Sizhou quickly fell!
On the 20th, Zhao Gou urgently issued an edict: Liu Guangyuan, who was guilty of stolen goods and under investigation at the moment, rushed to Lin'an! Liu Guangyuan arrived on the 21st. Zhao Gou personally ordered: Liu Guangyuan was exempted from the crime of stolen goods, and Cao Xun and the two of them immediately went to the Jin State to negotiate peace!
Hushan and Dibulu garrisoned Liujiaquan, facing the mountains in front and controlling Lajiacheng in the rear, and self-consolidating according to the danger. On the 20th, Wu Xuan summoned the generals. The commander Yao Zhong proposed that "the battle on the original will be won", and the other generals disagreed. Wu Lu said, "All the generals are opposed, they are afraid of hard work, and they don't want to attack the original ears." If the Jin people take advantage of the situation, our army will be defeated" So in the middle of the night, Yao Zhong and Wang Yan were sent to cross the river, go straight up the mountain, ambush them in Banpo, and ordered Zhang Shilian to attack Lajiacheng and cut off the retreat of the Jin army.
On the 21st, the two armies of Song and Jin fought at Tanjiawan. Wu Xuan made full preparations in advance, and even had a full understanding of the character of the enemy commander: Hushan was good at fighting, and Di Bulu was good at strategizing. So he targeted his attack on Hushan. Tanjiawan was a great victory, and the Jin army was beheaded 630 people and 700 people were captured. However, due to Zhang Shilian's failure to arrive in time, Hushan and Di Bulu finally fled into the city of Lajia, and Wu Lan led the army to surround them.
On the 23rd, Liu Guangyuan and Cao Xun set off from Lin'an to meet Yan Zongbi to discuss peace.
On the 28th, when Wu Lan was about to break through Lajia City, the imperial court urgently ordered the division, and Wu Lan had to withdraw. On the same day, Yuan Cheng, the inspector of Xihe Prefecture, encountered the Jin army in Gongzhou on Xihe Road and was killed in battle. Shao Long, on the other hand, recovered Yuzhou on the Yongxing Military Road. On October 3, Yang Zheng defeated the Jin army in Baoji and captured the Jin army's 10,000 households.
On the 4th, Liu Guangyuan came to the front line. On the 10th, Wanyan Zongbi sent back Liu Guangyuan, saying that the Jin State was eager to negotiate peace, but asked the Southern Song Dynasty to immediately send people with honorable positions and reputations to negotiate.
This time, Wanyan Zongbi only broke through the 2 states of Si and Chu. Zhang Jun, the privy envoy of the Southern Song Dynasty and one of the four generals of Zhongxing, held nearly 300,000 elite soldiers to compete with the Jin army, which was an unprecedented advantage. He didn't have to make any elaborate arrangements, he just needed to line up his troops and fight the enemy head-on... Strength determines a qiē!
But the actual trend of the battle made every Han person stunned! Zhang Jun actually sat in Zhenjiang Mansion and did not move, all the elite soldiers stuck to the south of the Yangtze River, but sent his nephew Zhang Zigai to lead some scouts across the river to spy on the military situation, and report to him at any time... (To be continued......)
