The Song army counterattacked
Zhao Gou is ready to return to Luan Lin'an, and he must choose one person to hand over the power of the Yangtze River defense line, and Zhang Jun is expected by everyone. However, on the 29th, Zhao Gou announced the appointment: Yang Cunzhong and Yu Yunwen as the chief and deputy Xuanfu envoys of Jianghuai Jingxiang Road.
Appointed, Jin Anjie and Liu Heng objected to it as soon as possible. Zhao Gou was furious, "The father of Jue is known to Zhang Jun, and this performance is specially for Jun Er" Prime Minister Chen Kangbo and Zhu Zhuo immediately summoned Liu Heng and asked him to withdraw from Shangshu, and said, "If you go up again, I am afraid that Zhang Gong will be tired" Liu Heng replied, "Jue is for the country, so there is no time for Zhang Gong." If it is for Zhang Gong, it is not because it is tired", so he objected again. As a last resort, Zhao Gou could only be reappointed: Yu Yunwen changed the envoys of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and Yang Cunzhong only took two measures.
On February 1, Yu Yunwen was appointed as the secretary of the military department, the envoy of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Propaganda Envoy, and the recruitment of troops and horses, and went to the front line in Shaanxi to meet with Wu Lan and discuss the recovery of lost territory.
On the 3rd, Zhang Jun and Yu Yunwen entered the pair. In such a good situation, Zhao Gou abandoned Jiangbei and Huaibei as if he were a shoe, completely disdainful of it, and even ignored the plight of the new emperor of the Jin State at home and abroad, and the plight of enemies in both the north and the south, and almost habitually continued to serve the former suzerain, which really made these two people dizzy!
Yu Yunwen, the hero of the empire who had just turned the tide of the tide, couldn't help but raise objections to Zhao Gou, demanding that even if the empire did not take the opportunity to send troops to retaliate with military common sense, it should make reasonable use of the remnants of the resistance forces that automatically appeared in the enemy-occupied areas, such as the Geng Jing armed forces that had just disintegrated due to an emergency. Think about the feat that Xin Qiji had only accomplished as a call, and relying on the Southern Song Dynasty officials, how could it create more trouble for the Jin Kingdom... He said a lot, but Zhao Gou answered very little, only one sentence, "I know, you go to Sichuan to see Wu Luan"
The above scene proves that Yu Yunwen has not done enough historical homework. He wants Zhao Gou to cherish it, and this proposition itself does not exist! Zhao Gou has been a super picky gourmand all his life, and even the ingredients provided by Yue Fei are not rare, how can a group of people suddenly gather and disperse, at best, it is a righteous army. What is "cherished" by the official traditional language of the bandits?
Yu Yunwen had no choice but to go farther... At this moment, Zhao Gou is very busy, he is really impatient with Yu Yunwen's chatter, because he is thinking about "business" He cautiously fell into deep thought, thinking about the past, looking forward to the future, and stirring his brain for the happiness of his life...
He couldn't help but think about it, but any person was a little cheeky, even if it was rarely thin. Although he doesn't care about these vain things at all, he is the emperor after all, and he still has a little psychological barrier to completely shameless things. Such as in the last 20 years. He was always advocating the theory of friendly friendship and the theory of Jurchen loveliness, and used killing Yue Fei and dispersing the army to ensure that there would never be a war... As a result, Wanyan Liang's slap was extremely loud and crisp!
How embarrassing is this for Zhao Gouqing! He regretted it and felt he had to find a way... For this reason, Zhao Gou finally set his sights on the child who had always treated him as his biological father: Zhao Wei!
This child has long grown up, and he has always been humble and cautious, and there is nothing that dissatisfies Zhao Gou. Many years later, when Zhao Wei died, it was not for nothing that the temple name set for him by the world was "Xiaozong". Zhao Wei's life is contradictory all the time, and his ideals are right. No matter from the perspective of the ancestors or the general interests of the nation, no one can refute this. Can... After all, he is still a "son", and he has to be filial to his "father", which is the iron law of the Chinese nation.
Maybe like this time, ask for a fight first, and then apologize. Being a "son" who follows him and does his filial piety at all times is the helpless product of his ideals shining into reality and the confrontation between the two. That's how things went after that.
Zhao Wei accompanied Zhao Gou to advance north to Jiankang, and along the way there was rain and snow in the deep winter of Jiangnan. Zhao Wei sat on the chariot and Zhao Wei rode a horse, the rain and snow wet his clothes, and his expression was always quiet and flat... In Jiankang. Zhao Wei personally took care of Zhao Gou's daily life, and after taking care of every day, he had to write a letter of peace to the queen mother and queen in the rear at night... When the first qiē was over and Zhao Gou returned to the Lin'an Palace, the queen pointed to a small box to show him, which was full of peace letters from the front line. It can be seen that the job of "son" has been done by Zhao Wei.
Zhao Gou sat down slowly and continued to think deeply. After a long time, he finally felt that he could do something.
Hui Feng was ordered by Wu Lan to attack Xihe Road. In the meeting to clear the customs and capture the guard Jin will become Jun. At this time, all the generals said that they would continue to attack Hezhou, and one of them built yì: The main force of the Jin army is in Xizhou, the capital of Xihe Road, and our army can feign to attack Hezhou. When the soldiers of Xizhou come to help, we will set up an ambush, but we can capture it in a battle. If the Xi soldiers are broken, then Hezhou will go down. The generals praised the good, so they ambushed the army in Lujiaxia. On January 19, Jin General Wen Tereng led 1,500 men to be defeated in Lujia Gorge and fled to Tuozi Bridge. After Wen Tering personally made the palace, he glared and shouted, "I will come here to fight to the death", and finally scared the Song army away.
After that, Huifeng attacked Hezhou. On 3 February, River State was recaptured. At this time, Huifeng did something extremely unroaded. After capturing Hezhou, it's time to give out a reward. Huifeng sent more than 10 dollars to everyone. At that time, prices were high, and even a cooking cake cost dozens of dollars. The soldiers were angry and threw money on the ground, "We will donate our lives to Hezhou, and now our lives are cheap, and they are not worth a pancake."
At this time, the Jin soldiers came to attack in a big way, and Hui Feng also knew that he was sinister, "I am outnumbered, Hezhou is newly attached, and it is not easy to defend." It's like the city is overturned, and foreign aid does not come, so I can only recruit all the soldiers and soldiers, and I will go here today to ask for reinforcements, not to go here. Ru Cao worked hard to defend the city", and then left Lu Mou to lead dozens of soldiers to guard Hezhou City, and he would clear the customs when he went out of the tun. The sergeant complained about the reward and the deceased.
On the 6th, Huifeng recovered the Jishi army and conquered Laiqiang City. At this time, the Jin army had captured Ninghe Village in Hezhou, slaughtered its people, and then besieged Hezhou City with more than 10,000 soldiers. The people of the city met and said, "The people of the day before yesterday returned to the south, and the gold slaughtered them." If I follow it, even if it is another Ning River, how can it be justified! It's better to defend each other and die, there are still a thousand to live" so he struggled to defend the city. Three days later, the Jin army retreated to the White Pagoda Temple.
On the 6th, Zhao Gou set off from Jiankang Mansion and returned to Lin'an Mansion. Arrived in Dongyang Town on the same day. On the 7th, they arrived in Xiashu Town.
On the 7th, Wan Yan Bao appointed Yelu Yuanyi as the political affairs of Pingzhang. Zhang Hao is the Taishi and Shang Shuling. said to Zhang Hao, "Qing was the prime minister when he was in Zhenglong, and he couldn't save it, so he was so evil that he was not guilty!" The construction of the two palaces, the people's strength, you also try to admonish, so the world does not blame you. Today, we are practicing government affairs and reusing. Think of yourself"

On the 13th, Jin General Fei Mo led tens of thousands of troops to a place one mile northwest of Caizhou City and set up camp by the Rushui River. And the troops of Zhao Pu in the city, plus the reinforcements sent by Wu Gong, are only 6,000 people in total. On the 14th, the Jin army tried to attack the city once, and sent three envoys to the city with a letter, "This letter comes, and Zhao Tiju discusses military affairs", but he refuses to accept it, and orders the soldiers to shoot it with arrows. The generals said, "The enemy comes with books." I don't know what it means. What's the harm of taking it," Zhao Shu said, "No! If you look at it, it will lead to the suspicion of the soldiers, and it will be moderate."
On the 19th, the Jin army attacked Caizhou City in a big way. The South Gate guard Jiao Yuan is in the middle of the arrow. First of all, I can't support it. Li Jin led more than 20 crossbowmen to the south gate to help in the battle, and died with three arrows in his body. The Jin army poured in from the south gate. Zhao Pu, the main general in the west of the city, hurriedly gathered all the troops and prepared for street fighting. Hua Wang, Cheng Gao, Jiao Yuan and others wanted to flee from the east gate, but were rejected by Liu An, the general guarding the gate. Street fighting continued until mid-afternoon. No score is scored. At this time, Wang Shixian urgently recruited 40 dead soldiers to join the 11 dead soldiers recruited by Wang Jian before. Fight into the Jin army formation and kill its second general. The Song army fought hard from this. Fei Mo, the commander of the Jin Army, saw that the Song army was not chaotic at the south gate, and sighed, "Today's city is not available", so he retreated. Zhao Hui shouted, "The golden man is gone," and the soldiers of the Song army cheered collectively. The Jin army rushed out of the door. There were more than 1,000 people in the stadium where those who could not come out, and they were all killed by the Song army, and the corpses were accumulated into Erjingguan. The Song army, which had a total of only 6,000 people, also suffered heavy casualties. After the war, there were more than 400 military officers killed in the war, and 3,700 were lost. There were only 2,000 fighters.
On the 21st, the Jin army attacked Caizhou City again, this time trying to burn the West Gate with fire. The Song army, which Zhao Hui had ambushed in the city, suddenly came out, and the Jin army abandoned the cart full of firewood and fled. On the night of the 23rd, a star fell in Caizhou Jinying. Before dawn on the 24th, the Jin army urgently retreated 30 miles.
At this time, the 13,000 reinforcements urgently sent by Wu Gong were also hurrying in. However, the main general You Gao came to Chengshan County, more than 30 kilometers southwest of Caizhou, but he could not enter. The angry Wu Gong immediately changed his general, and ordered Wang Xuan, who had led 200 cavalry south from Ruzhou to Tangzhou, to control the army and horses along the border, and immediately save Caizhou in the east.
On the 27th, Wanyan ordered Marshal Wanyan Ang to open the mansion in Shandong, and passed through the border affairs.

At dawn on the 28th, the spies came to report that the Jin army had arrived at Queshan, and Wang Xuanli decided to go to war despite public opinion. Leaving aside his infantry, he divided the 3,000 cavalry into three Chen. The brave general Ji Jing asked to lead a hundred horsemen to attack the enemy formation, and Wang Xuan gave him two hundred horsemen. Ji Jing shouted, "Today is a thief for the country." If the enemy is not broken, he will not survive" three in and three out, and there were only 2 dead in the Song army. Wang Xuan then covered up the killing, and the Jin army was defeated.
Wu Gong knew that Caizhou was difficult to defend and Zhao Pu could not stay alone, so he repeatedly summoned him back to the army with wax books. On the night of the 28th, Zhao Hui abandoned Caizhou and retreated to De'an Mansion on Jinghu North Road, and Wang Xuan withdrew to Xiangyang, the capital of Jingnan Road. On the 29th, the Jin army captured Caizhou.

I will stay here today, in case the Song army takes advantage of the situation to enter Xi, then Xi is also a person. It is better to bring troops back to Xizhou" and pretend to withdraw troops from Hezhou.

In the face of the two rude demands of the Jin envoy to ask the Southern Song Dynasty to continue to carry out the courtiers and return the Zhuzhou counties newly recovered by the Southern Song Dynasty due to the failure of the southern invasion of Wanyan Liang, the envoy Hong Mai wrote a book: "Since ancient times, neighbors have come and gone, and use enemy courtesy. The emperor of this dynasty, the upper is the first emperor, and the lower is the living being, and he reluctantly reluctantly remembers the honorific title to reconcile, while the other country betrays the alliance for no reason and destroys itself. It was rumored that the new emperor of Dajin had a benevolent heart and a heart of love for the people. This dynasty urgently instructed the generals to stop the order to recover, and not to pursue. but he was rebuked. The first messenger was sent to the whole country. But the gift of a qiē is difficult to reinforce. When it comes to Linhuai, it is more handsome and careful, and the twists and turns of the face are heard"

On the same day, Xuyi Zhijun Zhou Song reported the news of the first Khitan uprising to the imperial court, and Zhao Gou was overjoyed, "God repents of the disaster and attacks the country."

Fu old Xinjiang is restored, and the ancestral mausoleum must be buried, and the blessing of the country is sincere" Prime Minister Chen Kangbo also said, "In previous years, I only saw Han and Tibet, but I did not see Fan and Han."
