Chapter 242: Eat Your Own Fruit (Part II)

What should come is still coming after all, it's not that you can drag it if you want to.

On the thirtieth day of the first month of the third year of Jianyan, Yan Jin, the guard general of Sizhou, received a report that dozens of cavalrymen appeared in Linhuai County, with men and horses fully equipped with iron armor and white hats on their heads.

Yan Jin was a responsible general, so he sent troops out to find out, and as a result, he captured a few prisoners and came back.

Under severe torture, Yan Jin finally knew the truth: these dozens of cavalry were indeed the scouts of the Jin soldiers, and the cavalry of the Jin State was behind

Yan Jin was taken aback, and hurriedly sent an urgent report to the imperial court, and asked one or two captured Jin soldiers to be escorted to Yangzhou......

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 103 records: Shijin people from Teng County with 5,000 horsemen to Huai, all gold, white hats. The pass official Yongzhou defense envoy Yan Jin tun Sizhou, sent people to serve the fact, or said that Liu Zhong committed Linhuai, or said that Li Chengyu was also in the party. Jin greeted him with soldiers, and he was given several rangers, but he was known to be a golden man

In the face of the surprise attack of the 5,000 Jin State cavalry, there were still people in the Song court who stepped forward and fought hard to resist.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 13 has the following record:

"Jianghuai sent the deputy envoy Lu Yuan to hear it, sent people to collect hundreds of boats from the north of Huai to the south bank, ordered the envoy Zhang Jin to burn the pontoon bridge, and the assistant minister's book, begging for the great plan of the sect, and quickly trying to bow to the saints.

The Jin soldiers went to the near border of Sizhou, Jin led the army south, and Sun Rong, the captain of Zhaoxin, repelled more than 100 archers to resist the enemy. It is also the day, the dust covers the sun, and the gold people do not know how many of them are at the beginning. So they refused to pass the day. Rong fights to death.

It's a pity. There were only a few resisters, and many more would resort to the strategy of retreating without a fight.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Book 13 contains the following statement:

Jin covered the Tianchang army with hundreds of horses, and the command was heavy, and Cheng Xi fled with 10,000 people.

Urgently sent Jianghuai to make Liu Guangshi meet the enemy, and the people of Xingdu said that Guangshi would be able to resist thieves, but the soldiers had no fighting spirit and were defeated before Huai.

The Jin people attacked Chuzhou with a branch army, guarded the ministers and sent people to surrender. Open the northwest gate Najin people, open the east gate and live in it for themselves.

The commanders Ren Zhong and Cheng Xi held a brigade of 10,000 people, but they were chased and killed by hundreds of cavalry; Su Lin's surrender without a fight, etc., are the objects of ridicule by later generations.

The strange thing is that Liu Guangshi, the Jianghuai envoy who was pinned on by everyone, and one of the later four generals of Zhongxing, actually collapsed without a fight, which is really ridiculous and generous

Emperor Gaozong was shocked when he received the military intelligence report and immediately ordered to move south. That night, the soldiers of the Imperial Guards worked all night to carry the money from the storehouse.

When the next morning. When the emperor's imperial boat was moored on the bank of the canal and a large amount of gold and silver was carried up, the whole city of Yangzhou was shocked, and the people panicked and were in chaos.

At this time, Emperor Gaozong issued another holy decree, allowing the officials and the people to avoid the enemy.

What does it mean to avoid the enemy? It is how you want to escape, how convenient you want to go; If you can't escape, you will be considered your ability, and if you can't escape, you will be unlucky.

From the previous strict prohibition of officials to relocate to the current permission for officials and citizens to flee on their own, it seems to be Gojong's grace and progress; But the problem is that the timing of Emperor Gaozong's decree is really bad.

At this time, it is the turn of winter and spring, and it is also the dry season of the Grand Canal, and the water level of the canal is so low that only one or two large ships can pass through.

With the promulgation of Emperor Gaozong's holy decree, everyone in Yangzhou City was anxious to flee for their lives; For a time, on the Grand Canal, thousands of sails were raised at the same time, and public and private boats were entangled and difficult to move.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 103 recorded: "Geng Xushuo, the emperor drove the boat to the riverbank, and the people of the county were terrified, and they didn't know what to do...... The first edict and the people avoided the enemy, and lawsuits were not forbidden...... However, in the river of public and private boats, no step is allowed. ”

Emperor Gaozong was sincerely frightened and anxious to flee. However, our Prime Minister Huang Qianshan still looked calm, and persuaded the emperor to wait for a few days to see how the situation develops, and wait for an accurate report.

Huang Qianshan certainly has his basis for doing this. Because he had just received a letter from Yan Muhan, saying that there would be an envoy to Yangzhou to negotiate peace soon, and he asked Emperor Gaozong to receive him in person.

It seems that Huang Qianshan, the prime minister, is convinced of Wanyan Stickyhan's letter, and he doesn't know what it means to be "not tired of deceit".

This hateful Huang Qianshan has already dropped the face of his ancestor Huang Qiaoshan Gong into the thatched house.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 103 records: The emperor wants to cross the river, Huang Qianshan and others please stay less to report, and move one-third of the gold silk in the left treasury, and the emperor will allow it

At this time, Emperor Gaozong had a serious distrust of Huang Qianshan, so he had an extra heart, so he sent the eunuch Kuang Xun to the front line to observe the situation and see where the Jin soldiers had attacked.

I never thought that because of this arrangement, before Jin Bing came to Yangzhou, our little emperor Gaozong actually became the first victim of Yangzhou City.

At this time, Gaozong Zhao Gou was still working hard in the harem, going to the mountains and going to the countryside, working hard, plowing the fields and sowing seeds, and was very busy, when suddenly a eunuch broke in like a ghost, and howled to him that the Jin soldiers had captured the Tianchang Army, and Yangzhou was already close at hand.

Emperor Gaozong was stunned all of a sudden, and suddenly fell into the cliff and bottomless abyss from the forest of rouge powder and flesh.

Zhao Gou was really scared, so frightened that his heart and soul were scattered; What flashed to his mind was the miserable life of his father and his brother in the legend; Now it's his turn, so fast!

When he came back to his senses and tried to escape, he found an even more tragic and strange situation.

He withered, and the little Zhao Gou was completely soft, even in the face of many petite and cute Jiangnan beauties, the little Zhao Gou couldn't get hard anymore

In the face of the great disaster, Emperor Gaozong couldn't take care of so much, so he hurriedly got up and put on his clothes and ran out.

Now Emperor Gaozong has only one thought in his mind: run, run away quickly, and definitely not fall into the hands of the Jin people like his father and brother.

Things were too hasty, when Emperor Gaozong fled to the palace, there were only five or six horsemen and horses around him, including Wang Yuan, the commander of the imperial camp, and the inner servant, and the provincial servant Ban Kanglu.

The so-called provincial guards are actually the leaders of the eunuchs.

In this way, the key figure that directly led to Emperor Gaozong's first downfall - Kang Lu appeared.

"Renewal of Capital and Governance. Volume 103 records: The emperor sent Kuang, the left and right servants, to inquire about the affairs of the Tianchang army, and knew that it was a golden person, and he rushed back. The emperor had to inquire about the report, that is, he went out on horseback, but the imperial camp was under the control of Wang Yuan, and the inner servant province was escorted by five or six horses.

In order to get out of the city as soon as possible, Emperor Gaozong and his entourage rode horses on the street, alarming passers-by.

There were also well-informed people among the passers-by, who recognized the emperor's clothes, and pointed to the back of Emperor Gaozong and shouted: "The little emperor has also fled." ”

For a time, there was chaos in Yangzhou...... (To be continued......)
