Chapter 285: Breaking Li Cheng (I)
Qin Hui's statement does have many hard wounds, and these hard wounds cannot be explained at all.
For example, Qin Hui's wife Wang, like many concubines in the palace of the former dynasty, originally begged for a living in the laundry house of Huanglong Mansion, that is, the comfort station of Jin Bing. If Qin Hui did not join the enemy, how could the Wang clan escape from the fire pit, let alone flee back to the place of the Southern Song Dynasty
However, Fan Zongyin and Li Hui jointly acted as a guarantee, that is, the first leaders of the two major military and political departments to endorse Qin Hui together, and everyone in the court and China had no choice but to give up.
Who is Fan Zongyin? Why did you help Qin Hui get ahead?
Fan Zongyin was a capitulation faction in the Song Qinzong era, and was in favor of ceding the three northern towns and negotiating peace with the Jin people.
After the Jin soldiers destroyed the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhang Bangchang was named the king of Chu, but Zhang Bangchang privately sent an envoy to Zhao Gou to show his loyalty, and it was this Fan Zongyin who served as Zhang Bangchang's special envoy at that time.
Because of this, Fan Zongyin left a very good impression on Zhao Gou.
When Zhao Gou was proclaimed emperor and Zhang Bangchang led the officials of Great Chu to Yingtianfu to take refuge, Zhao Gou left Fan Zongyin by his side, and instead dropped Zhang Bangchang to other places.
Along this line of thought, it can be reasonably inferred that this Fan Zongyin also has some kind of connection with Jin Guo.
Therefore, although Fan Zongyin had different political views from Qin Hui in the Qinzong era, it was only natural for him to come out to help Qin Hui speak at this critical time
The above reasoning can be seen from Fan Zongyin's next actions.
Fan Zongyin immediately called Qin Hui to his office, talked secretly for a long time, and then went to see Emperor Gaozong the next day.
After Qin Hui met the emperor. said a lot about his own political opinions. It can be summed up in one sentence: "South from south." North from north. ”
In other words, Qin Hui advocated making peace with the Jin people and ruling the river; The place south of the Yangtze River belonged to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the place north of the Yangtze River belonged to the Jin State.
And that's not the most important thing.
The most important thing is that Qin Hui told Emperor Gaozong that he had been in the Jin State for many years, had connections, and had a way to assist the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to make peace with the Jin State.
Emperor Gaozong listened. Long Yan Dayue immediately made an order for Qin Hui to repair the book and contact Jin Guo.
Volume 18 of "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian": Only Fan Zongyin, Li Huisu and Hinoyama strongly recommended their loyalty, and ordered the seer to be in the political hall. Wing Ri, quoting the right, juniper said: "If you want the world to be fine, you must be south from the south, north from the north." So he suggested peace, and begged the emperor to write to the left supervisor Junchang to ask for good.
After many years of suffering, Emperor Gaozong was very eager to negotiate peace with the Jin State. It's just that I've been denied entry and have suffered a lot.
The most obvious example. It is the "Letter of Mourning to the Marshal of the Jin State" written by Emperor Gaozong to Wanyan Wushu.
Wanyan Wushu, as the main battle faction of the second number of the Jin Kingdom, would not easily accept the proposal of the Song Dynasty; As a result, Emperor Gaozong failed to sue for peace, but was embarrassed in front of the world.
Now with Qin Hui's way, Emperor Gaozong seems to see that peace is about to be achieved and stable days are coming soon, and he is so happy that he can't sleep for a few days.
In order to make Qin Hui feel at ease to do errands, Emperor Gaozong immediately promoted Qin Hui, from the original imperial history to the Ministry of Rites, and rewarded an additional 200 taels of silver silk.
Volume 18 of "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian": Divide Ding Wei, invite Lang, try the imperial history in the Cheng Zhi Shi Qin Hui trial ceremony department book, give 200 silver silk taels. Fan Zongyin and others entered the cursive national book, and the emperor said: "The juniper is loyal to others, and I get it, and I am happy but not sleepy." ”
Jin Guo put the main force in Shaanxi and fought to the death with Zhang Jun and Wu Jue. Daqi has just been established, and it is busy with its own construction. Now in the jurisdiction of the Song Dynasty, the most troublesome person is actually the rogue Li Cheng.
Although Li Cheng is not the strongest force, he is a rogue. But when it comes to cunning, he says first, and no one dares to admit second.
Li Cheng has accepted the imperial court's recruitment many times.
It's just that as soon as the officers and soldiers of the imperial court left, Li Cheng rebelled again, burning and looting everywhere, and occupying territory.
The reason why Li Cheng repeated it many times was because he listened to the words of a Taoist priest.
This Taoist priest's name is Tao Zisi, when he met Li Cheng in Fuli, he met Li Cheng, saying that he was born with a overlord appearance, and persuaded him to lead 100,000 horses and horses to Chengdu and go there to be the overlord of Xishu.
Although Li Cheng still did not go to Chengdu in the end, since then, Li Cheng's mind has changed a lot, and his ambition to be alone has jumped on paper.
There is the following passage in volume 132 of the "Three Koreas and Northern Alliances":
Someone asked Li Cheng: "When will the world be decided?" ”
Li Cheng replied in verses: "If you don't ask about the marquis, you will succeed and your bones will wither." ”
Although the Southern Song Dynasty court tried to entrap Li Cheng with the official title of pacification envoy. However, with the retreat of the Jin soldiers in the Huai River region, Li Cheng's ambitions were finally exposed to the world.
At the beginning of September of the fourth year of Jianyan, Li divided his troops into three routes and attacked the state capital of the Southern Song Dynasty.
The first road: Hu Xuantun Binghuai West Road, commanded by the capital, invaded Chizhou (now Guichi City, Anhui); The second way: the deputy capital led the horse to attack Zhanjiangzhou, and then went south to plunder Xizhou County south of Poyang Lake; The third route: Li Ben led his army across the Yangtze River, using Jiangzhou as a base to attack Hukou County (now Hukou County, Jiangxi), where Poyang Lake exited.
In a short period of time, Li Cheng's army successively occupied about ten state armies in Jianghuai, claiming to be 300,000 troops, with the intention of "sweeping the southeast", and posed a major threat to the Song Dynasty for a while
Li Cheng is so rebellious, it is imperative to send troops to recruit and suppress, the question is who to send?
Prime Minister Fan Zongyin's suggestion was to send Han Shizhong. With Han Powu's ruthlessness to deal with this Li Cheng, isn't it easy to catch it?
This opinion was immediately rejected by Emperor Gaozong.
The reason is very simple: Gaozong believes that since the "Miao Liu Change", Han Shizhong is the most loyal and brave, so it is necessary to leave Han Shizhong's troops in eastern Zhejiang to defend the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Is it okay to let Liu Guangshi go?
Emperor Gaozong of course agreed with this candidate, but the problem was that Liu Guangshi did not agree. Liu Guangshi replied to the imperial court that the group of bandits in the Zhenjiang area was also waiting for the gap, and it was really difficult to leave the defense area.
This hateful Liu Guangshi. Embarrassed the little emperor Gaozong again!
That's it. The system of western Zhejiang and Jiangdong made Zhang Jun the only candidate.
For this appointment of the imperial court. Zhang Jun resolutely refused.
Zhang Jun received the edict and immediately rushed to Lin'an, saw Song Gaozong, and said to his face how powerful Li Cheng is now, how many soldiers and horses, and how many states and counties he occupies.
In the end, Zhang Jun asked the emperor, long live the lord, what do you say we should do?
After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong was silent for a while. said to Zhang Jun: "Among the generals in the court now, you are the only one who has not made meritorious contributions." ”
When Zhang Jun heard it, something was wrong. I didn't have a standing function today? Could it be that because of the matter of saving Chuzhou, I refused to go to Chuzhou four times, and the emperor was angry?
Zhang Jun wanted to find out if it was because of this matter, so he let go of his courage and asked, "Why did you say that the emperor said that I didn't make a meritorious service?" I'm obviously a meritorious person."
Emperor Gaozong replied with a dark face: "Don't you know that Han Shizhong has such a great achievement as Han Shizhong captured Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan?" ”
As soon as Emperor Gaozong's words came out, Zhang Jun fell into an ice cave.
Thinking that the suppression of the Miao Liu Mutiny was a success achieved with the joint efforts of King Qin's division, Han Shizhong's kid was lucky. It was the emperor who asked him to capture Miao and Liu, and anyone else could take those two traitors. But the emperor now says that if he has not made meritorious service, he has not made meritorious service. If we debate again, the consequences are unimaginable.
In desperation, Zhang Jun finally had to "accept his life in fear".
However, Zhang Jun still made a small request to Emperor Gaozong: "Please fight the thief with the flying army." ”
Zhang Jun actually wanted to pull Yue Fei into the water.
For a general, there are two kinds of people who know him best: those who are his enemies, and those who are his colleagues.
"If you are not afraid of an opponent like a god, you are afraid of an opponent like a pig." This phrase can also be understood as: "Everyone likes god-like teammates." ”
It's just that the latter sentence seems somewhat unnatural.
In the NBA basketball world in the United States, there is a term that can express the same meaning, and this term is - "hugging the thighs"
Yes, Zhang Jun wanted to hug Yue Fei's thigh
For Zhang Jun's request, Emperor Gaozong readily agreed.
"The Chronicle of King E": Jun into the speech, said that Li Chengzhi said: "Although there are many soldiers, there is no fear." "Because of Yu Jun, I thought that today's generals would be useless. Jun Xiao said: "What is the uselessness of the minister? Shang smiled and said: "If Han Shizhong captures Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, it is better to die." Jun was terrified and retreated. Retreat and cower, self-determination will be invincible, thinking of the generals only the first ministers for the brave, but please use the first ministers to fight the thief together, and give it permission
In early March of the first year of Shaoxing, Jiangcheng had fallen, and Zhang Jun's army and Li Cheng's bandit army confronted each other in Hongzhou.
At that time, Li Cheng's Second Route Army commander Ma Jin camped in Xishan on the west bank of Zhangshui (now Ganjiang), and repeatedly challenged the Song army. Zhang Jun was afraid of the enemy and did not dare to fight for the whole month.
Li Cheng divided his troops and captured Yunzhou (now Gao'an City, Jiangxi) and Linjiang Army (now Linjiang Town, Jiangxi), and the situation of Zhang Jun's army was very unoptimistic.
At this critical moment, Yue Fei came to report with his three thousand cavalry
As soon as Yue Fei arrived, Zhang Jun immediately recruited Yue Fei into the Chinese army, and discussed with Yue Fei and said: "I have fought with Li Fei several times, and each time we have failed; How to deal with him this time, you have to help me plan well. ”
Yue Fei raised his eyebrows and replied, "The thief army is often greedy for merit and does not care about it, and it is extremely easy to break him. As long as 3,000 cavalry are sent to cross the river from the upper reaches of the river, and if they are taken by surprise, they will definitely succeed. ”
Since Yue Fei led his troops to fight, he often launched surprise attacks from the opponent's flank, and rarely attacked the opponent from the front. This style of play is what the book of war says, "to match and win by wonder".
This is also the reason why Yue Fei often wins big victories although he does not have many generals.
"But who can lead these three thousand cavalry into battle?" Zhang Jun asked.
"Yue Fei is not talented, and he is willing to take on this responsibility." Yue Fei took the initiative to ask, and a big stone in Zhang Jun's heart suddenly fell, and it was extremely relaxed.
"The Chronicle of King E's Xingshi": Zhao Xianchen asked: "Jun and Li Cheng fought several battles before and after, all of them were lost, and Jun Qi planned it for me." The first minister said: "It is very easy, after the thief is greedy and does not worry, if he takes 3,000 cavalry and crosses the rice from the upper class by surprise, he will be broken." Although he is not talented, he is willing to be a pioneer. "Jun Daxi, from it. (To be continued......)
