Jingkang Chapter A Lonely City and Ten Thousand Mountains Section 54 Zhang Chong
In the face of the defeat in the history of the dynasty, Zhang Shuye and others were speechless. Zhang Chong thought about it, in the wars in the history of the dynasty, not to mention the defeat, the victory could not be used to support the idea of war, so he reined in his edge and waited for the opportunity.
At this time, Wang Xiaodi, a Chinese scholar who was idle at home, began to mend the knife: "The minister also tastes to read the history of the country, and the battle of the Yuanyuan is in the battle of the Dao soldiers. Emperor Zhenzong said: How to kill it all, only to grudge for the side of the ear, the edict according to the soldiers do not fight, even if they return to the country, since all the generals said that the autumn high horse fat re-entered the Kou. Or say: No. The side storage is a little more solid and reverted to stealing grain. Zhenzong Gu Jinchen said: The ministers of the generals live in peace, and they want to go to fame with their eyes and make a mistake. ”
Wang Xiaodi recalled the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the great achievement of Zhenzong Zhao Heng in exchanging the year's coins for peace, and then frightened Zhao Huan, "Your Majesty, what is the trend today?" General Liu Yanqingtun heavy troops in Yanshan, overnight for no reason to pull out of the village and escape, people and horses by heel to deal with each other, entrusted to abandon the gold silk valley millet like a mountain. The reason why the captives drive thousands of miles without fear is also the reason for this. When the Emperor Zhenzong was fortunate to be in the abyss and killed his generals, he could not bear to make a small profit for a while, and he thought that the blessing of eternity was boundless. ”
Wang Xiaodi said, when Zhenzong was killed, Xiao Tart was lazy, and Liu Yanqing's father and son fled when they heard the enemy, I don't know where it was, Zhenzong still has to make peace, so the emperor are you a little too young compared to Zhenzong?
At this time, someone finally couldn't help it, and the waiter Li Ruoshui stood up and scolded Tang Ke, Wang Xiaodi, He Li, and Sun Yuji, "The country is more than three saints from the east of the river, the mausoleum is in Yan, the four branches of the world in Hebei, the four branches of the world know that they are wasted, and the people pay tribute is their Xiaoer, and the people in the world, the world of Taizu and Taizong, not the world of His Majesty, the matter of respecting the pond, how can it be followed!" ”
Zhang Chong saw the situation in front of him, and the ministers of the Lord and the Lord stood up one by one, laid out the historical facts, and remembered the ancestors, while the ministers of the main battle could only resist by distinguishing between loyalty and treachery because they could not come up with convincing results. And the emperor has clearly expressed his willingness to make peace, so as a newcomer, what should Zhang Chong do? If the trend of peace cannot be reversed, then Zhang Chong must show a loyal and wise posture and give the emperor another step. I could hear a loud voice in the green official robes under the hall:
"Minister Zhang Chong asked for three things." Zhang Chong has three things to say. Uncle Zhang was waiting for a short time at night, and when he saw Zhang Chong standing up, he was overjoyed, his father Zhang was indeed still guarding Longde, and Zhang Chong was determined not to make peace.
The first thing Zhang Chong said was that during the Han Dynasty, he was rude, and Empress Lu was friendly with him. "Emperor Gao of the Han Dynasty used a sword to punish Qin and destroy Chu to determine the world, and Mao Dun also rose in Donghu, and the Empress Dowager Lu said that the suicide note of Mao Dun was ugly and abusive, which can be described as very much. …… So they got married. The Lu family originally pushed Emperor Gao to dominate the world, calmly eliminated the army, and lent tens of thousands of lives in the two countries to the disaster of liver and brain. It's not the so-called brave! How could the little husband draw his sword and behead and cut off his chest to repay his grievances? "It is to save tens of thousands of lives, this is great wisdom and bravery, the implication is that Zhao Huan is not for himself, but for the lives of the people.
The second thing Zhang Chong said was that Tang Taizong withdrew his troops from Goguryeo, when the Tang army was in an unfavorable situation, Tang Taizong did not insist on it for personal face, but withdrew his troops, and finally eliminated Goguryeo when Tang Gaozong arrived. "The minister hears that there is power, and things often change, and those who know the power can destroy the rigid and become soft, and those who change the right thing can also turn disaster into blessing." And Zhao Huan is the same, don't insist for the sake of face, you must have the right to operate.
The third thing is that Goujian, the king of Yue, endured humiliation and burden, and finally revived the Yue Kingdom and eliminated the Wu Kingdom. Zhao Huan talked about peace, but also in order to revitalize the "two countries truce in the future, get the time of the years, support the crisis to strengthen the country, select the general to encourage the army to consolidate our situation, the rise and fall of the chaos can be retro, and the spirit of building the middle and the rise is not lost." ”
Zhang Chong's words came down, Empress Lu, Tang Taizong, and Yue Wang Goujian have all done the same thing as Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huan is a model for the ancient Ming Jun when he talks about peace.
Zhang Shuye, Liu Ju, and Li Ruoshui were dumbfounded when they heard it. Zhang Chong actually changed his face. At this time, Qin Hui said loudly in the imperial history: "Zhang Xianwen's words are reasonable, and the minister Qin Hui seconded the proposal. So below Qin Hui, the people at both ends of the first rat seconded it. Land cession and peace have become the trend of the times.
Zhao Huan asked, "Who is willing to go to Jinying to make peace?" He looked at a group of ministers and hoped that they would recommend themselves. He Li immediately coughed, and Wang Xiaodi began to feel dizzy.
Zhao Huan said: "He Li sent an envoy to the camp of Sticky Han, and Wang Xiaodi sent an envoy to the camp without delay, and set off immediately." These two people talked about the defeat of the ancestors of the Zhao family and slapped Zhao Huan in the face, and Zhao Huan took the opportunity to take revenge.
In any case, the plan for peace with Kim has finally been decided.
Hu Yangeng didn't care whether the imperial court wanted to make peace or not, and only trained the military in the Yujin Garden camp.
On December 2 of the first year of Jingkang, the Privy Council reported: "The soldiers of Jin Muhan entered from the east of the river, and the soldiers who did not leave the army entered from Hebei, and the two roads went to the village of the capital on the same day, a total of about 300,000 people. It is not separated from Liujia Temple, and it is stuck in Qingcheng. They are all divided into small villages, and they are carefully enclosed, and the banner figures openly come and go in the suburbs. ”
Since the imperial court decided to make peace and "do not provoke itself", several yellow silk banners issued by the Xuanfu Division were erected on the Bianliang city wall, and the flag was written with 16 big characters of "settling the people's hearts, there is no war, it is strictly forbidden to use force, and provoking without authorization", expressing to the Jin army the sincerity of our army not to take action.
The Jin soldiers could go to the fortifications dug by the Song army to investigate at will, and Wang Yu and Hu Yangeng in the south were very decisive and would drive away and kill these Jin soldiers, while the Xie Qian in the east and the Zheyan in the north were much more restrained, and they only dared to shoot some arrows without clusters. Liu Yanqing's department in the west was the worst, and the garrison fortifications started late, and they had not yet been completed, and the Jin soldiers continued to interfere, and the project was simply stopped.
The soldiers defending the city have gradually recovered their morale, relatively strong will to fight, and maintain a sense of freshness about everything on the battlefield. But the Propaganda Department still strictly enforces the ban. Now this ban is not so smooth from Uncle Zhang's night, it was issued by Li Hui through the palace marshal's mansion. A soldier asked, "What should we do if the golden soldiers release arrows at us?" ”
"I don't know, I'll die."
On the circular line that stretched for dozens of miles around the city, more than a dozen and sometimes as many as twenty or thirty Song soldiers were killed or wounded every day by the cold arrows of the Jin soldiers. Every time a new casualty occurs, it causes great disturbance among the soldiers.
If the marshal's palace had not given this ridiculous order, and if the soldiers had been free to kill the enemy as they pleased, and if they could draw arrows to shoot, they would still have had many unexpected casualties, and in a war, on a vast battlefield, since both sides were aiming to kill and injure the enemy's men and horses, the possibility of sparing such accidents was very small. But people have long been accustomed to this, and do not consider it an accident, and the enemy and themselves should be responsible for such casualties.
Now that the palace marshal's mansion has given this order, the psychology of the soldiers is completely different, and they blame all the faults on this plague palace marshal, that is, Wang Zongmiao. They thought that the robes of death were all victims of this order, and that they should not have died unjustly in this way. They were also afraid that if they were not careful, they would become victims of this order. It is glorious to die heroically, and to be killed in conspire with the enemy and his superiors without knowing it, and not to be blind when he dies.
A sense of grief and anger grew in the hearts of the warriors, who were eager to revoke the ban and change the current passive situation of being slaughtered, while the morale of the Song army was also low due to the restrictions imposed by the imperial court.
Thankfully, this situation lasted only seven days.
On December 2 of the first year of Jingkang, 250,000 Jin soldiers, including Jurchens, Bohai people, Khitans, Han people, and Song troops, as well as the signed army issued from Hedong, Hebei, took Liujiasi and Qingcheng as the fulcrum, and extended around Kaifeng City.
In the process of building the camp of the Jin soldiers, there were enthusiastic soldiers who ran to ask for instructions on whether to attack. The answer of the palace marshal's mansion is still "do not provoke yourself" and "stand up to death." ”
Originally, the Jin soldiers wanted to surround Bianliang, but because the fortifications in the south were built very far, the farthest camp had already echoed Yingchang. Therefore, the camp of the Jin soldiers is like a "冂" shape, which semi-encloses Bianliang. After the Jin soldiers repaired the joint camp without interference, they claimed that they had reached a collegiate agreement.
The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were jubilant.
On December 7, a scattered and sparse contingent was drawn from the camp of the Jin army. After it left the camp, it went to the upper reaches of the Bianhe River in the west, facing the place where the far gate (Shuntianmen) was opened. This sparsely lined team is not very small. From the hour until noon, people kept going out of the Jin Bing camp. But its discipline was very lax, and the soldiers could move freely and speak freely in the ranks of the soldiers, enjoying full freedom on the march. What was particularly surprising was that as soon as noon was over, the soldiers in the front ranks, without waiting for orders from their superiors, spontaneously rested in their place, and here and there appeared here and there groups of golden soldiers sitting cross-legged. They chatted and chattered, some asked where they were camping tonight, and some even asked to be driven back to the camp to rest. The officers listened, shouted a few words, raised their whips, and made a gesture to beat, and then let them fall into an even greater clamour. The officers shouted Jurchen, the war landers spoke Khitan and Bohai dialects, and some of the Han people who were recruited spoke the local accents of the Liaohe region and Hebei. Judging from the mixed language and inconsistent clothing, it is indicated that this is indeed a ragtag army that has been improvised and patchwork.
By noon, the scattered Jin soldiers had occupied various points on the outside of the Song barracks.
