The condition put forward by Wanyan Wu Qimai is tantamount to asking the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to directly raise their hands and surrender. This is not an attitude of peace talks at all, but a humiliation of the opponent and a direct slap in the face to the opponent of the negotiation.

In desperation, the envoys of the Southern Song Dynasty had no choice but to rush back to Jiangnan with their heads covered and disgraced.

The Jin soldiers once again invaded the Song Dynasty in the south.

At this moment, the most proud is of course the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu. The puppet emperor also issued a false edict before sending troops, threatening to "go straight to the fortress and make sure that the six are mixed".

Liu Yu actually described it as an illegal building by the Southern Song Dynasty court, which was too talented.

The route of the Jin and Qi coalition armies, the original plan was to transfer to Hefei through Shunchang, re-attack Liyang, and then cross the river south from quarrying.

This route is the southern invasion route of "searching the mountains and patrolling the sea to catch Zhao Gou" last time after Wanyan Wushu, which can be said to be a revisit to the old place, and there is no need to bring a guide.

However, Li Cheng still remembered the defeat in the Xiang and Deng areas, and knew very well the formidable combat effectiveness of the Yue family's army. If the army is marched according to the above route, Yue Fei's troops are likely to be sent from Xiangyang, so that the coalition army will suffer the dilemma of being attacked by the enemy on the belly and back, which is something that should be considered emphatically.

Li Cheng's suggestion was quickly accepted by Wanyan Wushu. The reason is very simple, for Yue Fei, an old friend, Wanyan Wushu has always been concerned, and if he can, he won't see it.

As a result, the combined forces of Jin and Qi changed their plan again: from the Bianhe River to Sizhou. After crossing the Huai River, the main force held Xuyi, divided the troops to capture Chuzhou, Hezhou and Yangzhou, and then divided the troops into two routes: to the west from the quarry to cross the river to attack Jiankang, and to the east from Guazhou to cross the river to attack Jingkou. In addition, it is necessary to divide the troops to the east. Go and plunder the grain and rice of Haizhou and Chuzhou.

This Liu Yu has a big appetite. I really wanted to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty

The news of the large-scale attack of the Jin and Qi coalition forces soon spread to Jiangnan. As a result, it was. The Southern Song Dynasty court was shocked, and many officials played together, asking Zhao Gou to "scatter a hundred divisions and he was lucky." ”

What do you mean by "scattering a hundred divisions and he is lucky"?

In vernacular terms, it is to let the little emperor dissolve all the institutions of the imperial court, and flee by himself, and escape farther, the farther the better; Those of us who are officials will not play with you, as for the severance pay of the officials. Of course, this is indispensable.

Ha Lu Ha Emperor Gaozong has been in power for many years, what kind of officials have been raised, they are not even as good as pigs and dogs!

Of course, the DPRK and China are not all cowards. Regarding the idea of escaping, Zhao Ding, the prime minister of the dynasty, resolutely opposed it, saying: "If you don't win the battle, it's not too late to go." ”

Alas, this Emperor Gaozong has changed another prime minister.

Unlike the panic of other officials. Zhao's opinion is supported by a large amount of data.

At that time, there were three armies in the southeastern region of the Southern Song Dynasty: Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi and Zhang Jun. In addition, Yang Yizhong, Shenwu Zhongjun, etc., have a total strength of more than 150,000 troops.

Such a force is several times more than Wu Jue in the western battlefield and Yue Fei in the central battlefield; Since Wu Jue and Yue Fei were able to win one after another, why did they flee without a fight on the battlefield in the east?

Zhao Ding is undoubtedly a main battle faction, and he can know from his previous appreciation and support for Yue Fei; Zhao Ding is even more radical, and he also threw out a more spicy idea: let the emperor go to the imperial frame in person.

The prime minister is the head of the hundred bureaucrats, and he will be determined by a word.

Moreover, Zhao Ding's speech was so impassioned and provocative, it not only vetoed the escape in the court, but also ignited the little emperor's fighting heart.

The little emperor is not young, and now he is in his thirties, judging from the recitals of Wu Jue and Yue Fei, the Jurchens are all bullying good and afraid of evil, and when they encounter tough opponents, they will also be afraid and run away.

What an honor it is for the Emperor to defeat a powerful enemy.

The emperor also needs honor, and he also needs to go down in history for his own merits, and his name will go down through the ages, not to mention Emperor Gaozong, who is powerful and has excellent archery skills!

As a result, Emperor Gaozong blurted out: "I am far away for the two saints, and the living beings have been suffering for a long time, so I bent myself to seek peace, and the captives invaded wantonly." I am the sixth army of the general army, go to the river, and decide in a battle! ”

Emperor Chrysostom said that this matter has been decided, and the next thing to determine is the candidate for the commander.

Who will be the manager is a headache.

Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong, the three main generals, all have the qualifications to be the commander, but they are not convinced by each other, and in this battle, it is obvious that the three major armies must work together to have the possibility of victory.

So, who is qualified to command and mobilize these three commanders?

After thinking about it, Zhao Ding recommended a candidate to the emperor, and he was Zhang Jun.

Although he was the main person in charge of the defeat in the Battle of Futian, although he had such and such problems, he once served as the leader of Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, and Han Shizhong.

In the "Miao and Liu Incident" a few years ago, it was Zhang Jun who took the lead, leading and coordinating the ministers and the class of the Qin Wang; At that time, whether it was Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun, or Han Shizhong, all of them acted under Zhang Jun's military orders.

Therefore, with Zhang Jun as the commander of this battle, at least nominally he can convince the public

Zhang Jun's life was not easy during this time.

The first win and then loss of the Battle of Futian, coupled with the two great victories of Monk Yuan and Xianrenguan, made Wu Jie a veritable king of the northwest, and Zhang Jun had to return to Beijing to restore his life.

When he arrived in the capital, Zhang Jun found that the original military leaders, including Han Shizhong, were already full-fledged and very alienated from him.

Without the support of the military leaders, Zhang Jun even had fewer and fewer opportunities to speak in front of the emperor.

And at this time, he was recommended by Prime Minister Zhao Ding and became the first person in the Southern Song Dynasty court in military affairs.

It's true

Before the words were spoken, our Lord Zhang Jun was already in tears.

Since it was a personal expedition of the imperial frame, the emperor decreed that the harem family members went to Wenzhou by land, and then took a boat to Quanzhou for refuge; Then build a palace in Pingjiang Mansion on the front line, and he was to personally direct the battle on the front line.

Before the palace was built, the emperor of course lived temporarily in the palace in Lin'an City, and when the palace in Pingjiang Mansion was built. Of course, it is the emperor who has the final say.

Such an arrangement. It expresses both the emperor's support for the battle and the emperor's own bravery. It can also allow the emperor to combine work and rest, be safe and comfortable, and get the emperor's approval.

Who could have come up with such a thoughtful and thoughtful plan? Of course, it is a good friend of the Jurchens and a good comrade of Emperor Gaozong - Qin Hui

The 300,000 gold and Qi coalition armies were neatly and mightily advancing towards the Huainan region.

Along the way, the combined forces of Jin and Qi were like bamboos, and the Song troops in Chuzhou, Hezhou and other places abandoned the city and fled.

After receiving Zhang Jun's military order, Han Shizhong soon led his troops and horses across the river. Stationed in Yangzhou City, the troops are strong, ready to fight with the incoming enemy.

According to Zhao Ding and Zhang Jun's prior arrangement, in the Huainan area, that is, in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Southern Song Dynasty will gather more than 150,000 troops with a total of Liu Guangshi, Zhang Jun and Han Shizhong.

In order not to suffer in terms of numbers, Emperor Gaozong and even Zhao Gou even sent his own Imperial Forest Army Banzhi and Yang Yizhong, the most trusted personal general.

It can be said that this is the largest number of troops gathered by the Song army since the Battle of Fuping.

But. When the Jinqi coalition army was approaching, Han Shizhong also found that any friendly army appeared around him!

Liu Guangshi carried out his glorious tradition to the letter. retreated before the battle, hid back to the south bank of the Yangtze River, and went to the second largest city in the Southern Song Dynasty - Jiankang City to enjoy a happy life; The military orders issued by the headquarters have never been something he has to consider.

Zhang Jun did not say that he would not march into the army, but wrote a letter to the imperial court, reporting to the prime minister Zhao Ding, that I would first go to Pingjiang Mansion to fight the emperor, and then cross the river to resist the enemy.

Zhang Jun not only wrote a letter to the imperial court, but also put forward an anti-Japanese war initiative to the whole army, he said, what is the use of hiding, only one step forward, there is a chance of survival, we must move forward, move forward.

Zhang Jun's behavior won the applause of the whole world: "General Zhang is really brave and loyal!" ”

Zhang Jun did what he said, he quickly raised troops and rushed to Pingjiang Mansion with his headquarters to make rapid progress.

However, at the moment of entering the city, under the watchful eyes of all the people, an accident suddenly happened.

After a long time on the battlefield, General Zhang, who was skilled in arching horses, suddenly lost his horse and fell down. At that time, the scene was terrifying, real, and the fall was very decisive, which shocked countless hitters.

Our General Zhang was wounded, and his injuries were so serious that he couldn't even pick up a brush, so he had to find someone to send a letter to Prime Minister Zhao Ding, reporting the injury and requesting to recuperate in Pingjiang Mansion.

This Zhang Jun is really a wonderful person.

Zhao Ding is also an understanding person, how can he be deceived by these little tricks. So Zhao Ding directly ordered through the Privy Council, asking him to immediately lead the army across the river and go to the north bank of the Yangtze River to fight, and do his duty as a soldier.

The prime minister's words were like knives, but the general's face was like iron, and Zhang Jun didn't react.

The injury is indeed very serious, there is really no way to lead the army to fight, not to mention the orders of the Privy Council, the emperor's decree is useless, or you can remove me.

As a result, in the entire Huainan battlefield, only one of Han Shizhong's troops remained

The combined forces of Jin and Qi arrived.

Of course, the first wave is the forward troops, and the main forces are still behind; A large army of more than 100,000 people, food and other baggage alone is enough to drag on for a period of time.

Who is Han Shizhong? Before Yue Fei's rise, he was recognized as the first fierce man in the Song Dynasty; Whether it is personal force or the ability to lead troops to fight, they are the top of the Song Dynasty.

Against the enemy's forward battalion, Han Shizhong didn't say a word, and directly led people to charge.

That day in the area of Dayi Town in Jiangbei, the war broke out suddenly, and the combined forces of Jin and Puppet Qi were almost at a loss for flesh and blood, and after they reacted, the swords and guns of the Han family army were already imminent.

The only way they could do was to escape.

This kind of thing happened several times in Yakou Bridge, Chengxin and other places, and the forward troops of the Jin and Puppet Qi coalition forces were repeatedly attacked by the Han army, and almost all the troops were wiped out.

Despite this, after the large corps of the Jin and Qi coalition forces approached, Han Shizhong wisely chose to retreat. He crossed the river back to the north bank and stationed in Zhenjiang Mansion...... (To be continued......)
