Chapter 364: Zhu Xianzhen's Great Victory

The battle report of Yingchang's victory was soon delivered to Lin'an Mansion.

Emperor Gaozong was naturally very happy about such a great victory, and immediately issued a holy decree to reward the soldiers in front.

It's just that the wavering and the two ends of the head rat have always been the hallmarks of Emperor Gaozong. This time, it only took half a day for Emperor Gaozong to change his mind again.

The one who can make Emperor Gaozong change his mind is, of course, the prime minister Qin Hui.

Legend has it that Emperor Gaozong and Prime Minister Qin Hui once had the following conversation:

Emperor Gaozong discussed with Qin Hui in the imperial study, Qin Hui saw that the emperor was a little different from usual, and sat for a while, and the monarch and ministers were speechless.

Song Gaozong handed Qin Hui a few shortcuts. Shunkou said:

"Qin Aiqing, our army has won another great victory, Yue Fei is worthy of being my general, he has not been defeated from June to now, and he will be able to recover Kaifeng Mansion in a few days. I prepared to order the four-way army of Zhang Jun, Yang Yizhong, Han Shizhong, and Liu Jian, who had already returned to their division, and let them go north to meet Yue Fei in the starry night. What do you think? ”

Qin Hui took the shortcut, didn't say a word for a long time, and suddenly said:

"Your Majesty, is Yue Fei's recital credible? Although Jin Wushu was defeated in Shunchang, he gathered 300,000 troops, Yue Fei 100,000 people, and fought alone, how could he be the opponent of the Jin people? It's not that he wants to lie about his military exploits, from ancient times to the present, no general with troops has been able to achieve such a victory. ”

Emperor Gaozong smiled and said with some pride:

"Yue Fei is a famous general in a hundred battles, and the combat effectiveness of his army has also been confirmed in previous years, so it is not surprising that he was able to achieve such a victory. I wanted him to block four with one, if he didn't win. The people of the Jin Kingdom have already broken through Lin'an. Why is there no news of the Jin army crossing the river until now? ”

After a while. Qin Hui said: "Your Majesty, do you remember the Miao Liu Mutiny? ”

Gaozong's face changed greatly, and he shouted: "Bold Qin Hui, how can you mention this matter?" ”

This is an unforgettable scandal for Emperor Gaozong, and now Qin Hui and Qin Hui's old things are recalled, which directly touches the emperor's scales.

Qin Hui hurriedly knelt down and said:

"Wei Chen risked his life to mention this matter, just for His Majesty's consideration. Your Majesty, please think about it, there were no generals by His Majesty's side when Miao Liu and the two thieves took advantage of it. Therefore, he rebelled, and now Yue Fei is the most powerful among the generals, is he a person who has no rebellion? He said every day that he would recover the Central Plains and welcome back the two saints. In fact, it is deceiving the hearts of the people. Now he lies about his military exploits, deceives the generals to the front line, or appeases, or kills, he is trying to rebel. ”

After hearing this, Emperor Gaozong breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Aiqing rest assured. Anyone can rebel, but Yue Fei will not. He is a loyal minister, which is more stable than his victory and Ping Yangqi. ”

The emperor said this, but his heart was shaken after all.

The most taboo thing for their old Zhao family is that the generals plot rebellion. Although Qin Hui is talking nonsense, every word can touch the heart of Emperor Gaozong.

Qin Hui waited for Gaozong to finish speaking, shook his head, and said slowly: "Your Majesty, wasn't Emperor Taizu also very loyal before Longxing?" ”

The Longxing in Qin Hui's mouth refers to Taizu Zhao Kuangyin's Chenqiao Mutiny. It's just that Qin Hui's statement is neither in line with facts nor logic.

The reason why Zhao Kuangyin was able to succeed was due to a number of prerequisites, including the sudden death of the emperor, including the high concentration of military power due to the extreme trust of the old Chai Emperor in Zhao Kuangyin, and even the command of the Imperial Forest Army was handed over to Zhao Kuangyin, and so on.

And Yue Fei did not have all these conditions.

Therefore, Qin Hui's statement can only be described as a bloody mouth.

But in any case, Qin Hui's words instantly changed Emperor Gaozong's mind.

Emperor Gaozong was silent for a long time, then picked up the imperial pen and wrote a gold medal codex on the imperial case, telling Kuaima to go to Yue's army overnight to convey the edict of the class master to return to the dynasty.

After Qin Hui waited for him to finish writing, he added: "Your Majesty, I'm afraid that an edict won't play much role, it's better to send a few more, Yue Fei will see it, and he will inevitably return to the court." ”

Thus, the edict of the twelve gold medals appeared.

Just when Emperor Gaozong and Qin Hui were secretly discussing, the Yuejia army on the front line ushered in the last battle of this Northern Expedition - the victory of the Zhuxian Array

Tuoyue's military command Wang Gui used troops to protect the blessing, and although Wanyan Wushu was defeated in the Battle of Yingchang, he was still able to retain a considerable part of his troops.

Of course, the morale of this force was low, and most of them were wounded; Even after finishing the Yan Wushu, he couldn't confirm whether they still had the courage to fight again.

However, the development of the situation had already made Wanyan Wushu a little involuntarily, because he received a report from the spies that a large army of the Yue family army had entered Zhuxian Town.

Zhuxian Town is the last city defense barrier of Bianliang City in Kaifeng Prefecture, if Zhuxian Town falls, Kaifeng Mansion will be naked under the big guns of the Yue family's army.

Helplessly, Wanyan Wushu had no choice but to take tens of thousands of remnants of soldiers and turn around, hoping to take back Zhuxian Town.

Wanyan Wushu didn't know that most of the troops of the Yue family army were stationed in Zhuxian Town today, including Zhang Xian, Niu Gao, Xu Qing and other fierce generals at the level of commanders gathered here; More importantly, Yue Fei Shaobao, the commander of the Yue family's army, also came here and personally commanded the battle

This day is the 18th day of July in the 10th year of Shaoxing.

The battle report of Yingchang's victory had already been delivered to Yue Fei, and Yue Fei knew the situation of the golden soldier in front of him well; Therefore, Yue Fei did not wait for the Jin soldiers to stand in position, and immediately ordered to charge.

According to the plan formulated by Yue Fei in advance, the Yue family army was divided into three batches and launched a fierce attack on the Jin soldiers from three places.

In the center of the position, Zhang Xian, the former commander of the army, personally led the 500 Beibei Wei Army to cover the past, and the target was the handsome banner of the Jin soldiers to implement the decapitation tactic.

The left and right flanks, led by Xu Qing, Li Shan, Kou Cheng, and Fu Xuan, led the four troops of the front army, the right army, the rear army, and the enemy-breaking army, and attacked the Jin soldiers one by one.

And in the rear of the Jin soldiers, there is a whole army in ambush; This force was the Yuejia Left Army led by Niu Gao and Guo Qing

Although I have been mentally prepared for a long time, however, the process of this battle. It was also a great surprise to the battle-hardened Wanyan Wushu - the defeat of the Jin soldiers turned out to be so neat.

A charge. Just one charge. The Jin soldiers were crushed at the first touch, and they fled for their lives.

This situation is almost exactly the same as the Song Army who met Jin Bing more than ten years ago, but now the host and guest are reversed, and the situation is reversed, which makes people sigh.

Of course, there are objective reasons for the low combat effectiveness of this golden army.

Let's review the schedule of Wanyan Wushu in July of the tenth year of Shaoxing:

On July 8th. He led 15,000 elite cavalry to attack Yuncheng, the headquarters of the Yue family's army.

Three days after the failed sneak attack, in Xiaoshanghe, he first encountered Yang Zaixing's battle of death, followed by Zhang Xian's battle of revenge.

On July 14, Wanyan Wushu moved to Yingchang City in an attempt to forcibly occupy the granary of Yue's army, but was met with a head-on attack by Yue Yun, Wang Gui and Dong Xian.

And today, that is, on July 18, he encountered the main force of the Yue family's army under the personal command and arrangement of Yue Fei, and he was still undefeated

For this campaign. History of the Song Dynasty? The record in volume 365 of the Biography of Yue Fei Lie is:

“…… Fly into Zhuxian Town, forty-five miles away from Bianjing. Fighting against the vultures, the steam will fight with five hundred horsemen on his back, break it, and the vultures will return to Bianjing. Feiyu Lingtai ordered to look at the tombs and rule them. ”

The Southern Song Dynasty historian Lu Zhong made this summary in the book "Zhongxing Memorabilia":

"Yue Fei is loyal and filial by nature, and he has been fighting hundreds of battles, fighting peacefully and robbing outside. Its use of soldiers, especially good at outnumbering the crowd, its war skills, Yu Yingchang is with 800 backs, and Yu Zhuxian Town is 500 with backs, all of which break more than 100,000 of his people. The captives were afraid of it, and they did not dare to call it by name, even by their father. ”

The Jin soldiers were defeated, panicked, and fled to the north.

According to the past practice, as long as the Jin soldiers escaped twenty or thirty miles away, they could escape with their lives, and they could wait for the summoning and reorganization of the generals.

But this time the situation was different, because Yue Fei had ambushed the troops behind the Jin soldiers early in the morning, and this force was the left army of the Yue family's army, and the commander of the leading army was the famous Niu Gao.

Yue Fei used a whole left army to wait for the defeated Jin soldiers in the back, which can be regarded as worthy of the old friend of Wanyan Wushu.

And Niu Gao faced the Wanyan Wushu that fled in embarrassment, what kind of record did he achieve?

No direct historical record of this can be found.

Why is this happening?

Li Xinchuan, the author of "The Chronicles of the Years since the Establishment of Yan", explained that Qin Hui and his son Qin Xi joined forces to tamper with all historical materials related to Yue Fei.

During Qin Hui's dictatorship, Qin Hui sent his adopted son Qin Xi to overhaul the official history of the Southern Song Dynasty, and put his adopted son and his comrades in charge of managing the national history archives of the Southern Song Dynasty.

This gang of traitors joined forces to destroy many edicts and other documents that were unfavorable to Qin Hui, and they also tried their best to destroy the documents and archives that were favorable to Yue Fei.

For many of Yue Fei's deeds, the Qin Hui traitors added more elements of slander to the official history of the Southern Song Dynasty compiled by them, and these traitors also pretended to compose a pen in the official history of the Southern Song Dynasty compiled by them, wantonly tampered with and deleted historical materials, and reversed the facts in order to demean Yue Fei as much as possible.

For this reason, Li Xinchuan mentioned this matter in many places in the "Records of the Years Since the Establishment of Yan":

For example, in the annotation of the Xinmao article in October of the third year of Jianyan in the volume of "The Records of the Years since the Establishment of Yan", Li Xinchuan wrote the following paragraph:

"Press: This "calendar" is Qin Hui's history institute, Qin Xi was the secretary of the young eunuch when he repaired, Zhang Xiaoxiang tried to beg to delete and change, suspected that he could not be trusted, I attached this, and I also refer to the cloud."

For another example, Li Xinchuan also recorded in the "Essentials": "Since the dictatorship of the juniper, there are non-jade voices in the holy language of the book. I'm afraid it's not enough to give a big lesson. It is a piece of music that is deleted. ”

This shows that Qin Hui and his henchmen deleted and tampered with the history of the Southern Song Dynasty in a wide range, with so much content, and so much courage that they even dared to tamper with what Song Gaozong said himself...... (To be continued......)
