"Cavalry, it's time for a decisive battle! Strike left and right! ”

Yang Tongwen was the first to pat his horse and rushed forward, and the two teams of cavalry followed closely behind him and jumped out of the position.

Yang Tongwen broke the peak, the rebels were killed and wounded, and then fought in all directions, and the rebels immediately flew flesh and blood. The 2,000 Miao soldiers were extremely fierce, brandishing Miao knives and charging back and forth in the enemy formation, and the rebels' heads fell to the ground.

After half an hour of fighting, the rebels still had 5,000 infantry left. The black-faced leader suddenly threw out ten steel needles at Yang Tongwen, and King Miao turned his head away, raised his left hand to catch the five steel needles.

Yang Tongwen roared angrily: "Traitor, he actually plotted against this king!" ”

I saw Yang Tongwen raise his left hand and reflect the steel needle back.

The blackface boss was hit two in the chest and two in both eyes, and one hit the major carotid artery, and he covered his eyes and screamed in pain.

Yang Tongwen urged the horse over, and the Hongjun halberd drew an arc, and the black face immediately turned his head in a different place. Seeing this, the cavalry captain of the rebels fled down the mountain with the remaining hundred or so men. The infantry wavered and began to retreat.

Jiang Junwen, who stopped Niudong, led 2,000 villagers to block the retreat of the rebels from the southern foot of the mountain, and the two armies attacked back and forth, the rebels could not parry, and the killed lost their armor and abandoned their armor, less than 2,000 people, and they surrendered one after another.

In the battle of Dongshan, none of the soldiers of the Yang family army were killed, and more than 8,000 rebels were annihilated.

When Song Ningzong heard this, he was overjoyed, and sent an urgent edict of 800 li to Chengbu Village, ordering Yang Tongwen to organize an armed force of 100,000 people as soon as possible to go to the Huaishui front line to resist King Jin Qin.

It is said that after the First World War in Nanshan, Yang Tongwen served King Qin, but Emperor Ningzong was an iron rooster and did not give a penny of silver.

"The thing about fighting a war is that the soldiers and horses go first before the grain and grass are moved, and the court does not give the equipment, nor the money and grain, isn't this a clear cut?" Yang Tongwen scolded in his heart, "Zhao Kuo, this kid, you are a real tyrant for me?" If you can't beat Jin Bing, you will think of me, your grandfather gave me a deputy general back then, and I looked down on Lao Tzu! Isn't it a great irony that an adjutant general who has been separated from the barracks of the Central Army for many years leads 100,000 troops? ”

Han Yanxuan is in power, and he can change his orders every day. Three days later, the Ministry of War issued an order asking Yang Tongwen to go to Sichuan and Shaanxi as soon as possible to quell the rebellion.

For this reason, Yang Tongwen was too lazy to pay attention to it, and only sent 200 Miao soldiers and warriors into Sichuan, and the vanguard was Yang Guangyao. To get rid of Wu Xi, you can't mobilize the people, you can only act secretly, so that you can paralyze his will.

Wu Xi, a native of Longgan (now Jingning, Gansu) in the Deshun Army, his uncle Wu Jue, and his grandfather Xinwang Wu Lan are all well-known anti-Jin generals, and his father Wu Ting has also made many great contributions in the war against Jin. Wu Xi wears many hats, serving as the deputy envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and the envoy of Shaanxi and Hedong Road, the imperial court values him so much, why did he rebel and attack Chengbu Village? It's a long story.

Han Yanxuan was anxious for the Northern Expedition to the Central Plains, and repeatedly promoted Wu Xi to the rank of official: in March of the second year of Kaixi, he was promoted to the deputy envoy of Sichuan Xuanfu, and the following month he also served as the envoy of Shaanxi and Hedong Road. Since the end of Shaoxing, the Sichuan Xuanfu Department has been in charge of military and political affairs, and the Sichuan Consulate General has been in charge of finance. At this time, Han Yanxuan subordinated the consul general office to the Xuanfu Division, which was controlled by Wu Xi, the deputy envoy of Xuanfu, and the power of wealth was attributed to Wu Xi, who covered the sky with one hand, laying a hidden danger for Wu Xi's rebellion in the future.

Han Yanxuan made mistakes again and again, and Song Dezhi, the editor of the Privy Council, persuaded him with kind words: "Change the old system of the ancestors lightly, and order the military ministers to be handsome and handsome, so as to leave a legacy for themselves." The Jin rebel generals and the disaster of Tang Fan Town are based on this. However, Han Yanxuan's heart for meritorious service was too earnest, and the Northern Expedition was full of momentum, and he could not listen to his words at all, so that the imperial court lost control of the Sichuan region.

Han Yanxuan was not unwary of Wu Xi, and according to the usual practice, he sent his confidant and Wenchen Cheng Song as the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy to contain Wu Xi. Han Yanxuan knew that Cheng Song and Wu Xi had an old relationship, but he was really taking a risk, if the two joined forces to rebel, the consequences would be unimaginable. When Wu Xi was in charge of the former deputy capital of Lin'an, Cheng Song was just a small knowledge of Qiantang County, and Cheng Song curried favor with Wu Xi, so that Han Yan was in charge, so that his official fortune was prosperous. Wu Xi will not pay attention to Cheng Song, a civil official-born propaganda envoy, at all.

Jin Zhangzong took a fancy to the influence of the Wu family and the geographical location of Sichuan, directly planned to recruit Wu Xi, and ordered Shu Han Road to pacify Wan Yangang and march to Wu Xi's hometown of Deshun Prefecture (now Jingning, Gansu) to find Wu Xi's relatives. Wan Yan Gang found Wu Xi's clansman Wu Duan and appointed him as the inspector of Shuiluo City. Since then, the activities of recruiting Wu Xi have been carried out quite smoothly, mainly because Wu Duan threads the needle.

Jin Zhangzong personally wrote down the edict against Wu Xi, and the edict did its best to sow discord, declaring: "Those who shake the Lord are in danger, and those who cover the world are not rewarded. And take Yue Fei as an example to explain it specifically. He has 70,000 troops in the Sichuan-Shaanxi border area, and the imperial court will inevitably be suspicious, and the experience of the past makes Wu Xi fearful.

Jin Zhangzong's requirements for Wu Xi were not high, as long as he remained neutral during the Song and Jin wars. As for the reward, it is particularly heavy - Jin Zhangzong promised that "the land of Shu is known to Qing and should be sealed", and swore to Wu Xi that "the sun is on the sky, and I will not break my word." This handwritten edict deeply moved Wu Xi, and he planned to let it go, ignoring the door of loyalty and filial piety, and leaving it behind.

In the months before the mutiny, Wu Xi couldn't help but hesitate, the quality of sleep was very bad, he was in a trance, he was groggy, he often woke up several times at night, jumped up, and looked around in his sleep; Sometimes he sleeps all night, and he feels very sorry for his ancestors and ancestors, and once he has the idea of rebellion, the greedy demon who is the king will control him.

There was always a voice ringing in Wu Xi's ears: "Since you have taken the first step, never think of turning back." Hurry up and throw yourself into the arms of the Golden Kingdom, where endless glory and wealth are waiting for you! Therefore, Wu Xi went farther and farther on the wrong path of apostasy, unable to extricate himself, and couldn't stop.

Jin Guo is also stepping up its psychological offensive, sending Wu Duan to Yikou with an edict and a golden seal, and named Wu Xi as the king of Shu, which Wu Xi secretly accepted. "The land of Bashu is about to change, and the surname will be changed soon, there are a lot of beauties in the three palaces and six courtyards, a bewitching and charming, plump breasts and fat buttocks......" Wu Xi suddenly felt happy in his heart, and suddenly felt that his good days were coming, and he could call for wind and rain in Sichuan.

On December 21, the Xingzhou Chinese army was defeating the Jin army at Qifang Pass. The next day, Wu Xi concealed the war situation, did not win to the imperial court, returned to Xingzhou, and began to take refuge in the Jin State and sell national interests.

On December 23, Wu Xi summoned his staff to express his intentions: "The southeast has been lost, the emperor has fled to Siming, now I should see the opportunity to act, I should set myself up as the king, in order to protect myself!" Everyone was shocked, and they couldn't believe it—Wu Xi in front of them was so deeply hidden, daring to betray his family and the court.

Wang Yi and Yang Qizhi retorted: "If the Lord is called the King of Shu, then where is the Wu family's eighty years of loyalty and filial piety? Wu Jiawei's name was swept away. ”

The ambition to be the king was not unanimously approved, Wu Xi still had a little scruples at this time, once his subordinates mutinied, the Jin Kingdom crossed the river and demolished the bridge, and he would die without a place to be buried, so he couldn't make up his mind and began to waver.

Seeing this, cousin Wu Hui encouraged: "Big brother, is it said to ride a tiger, Gu Kezhong is going down?" cheered up Wu Xi and encouraged him to rebel.

Wang Yi and Yang Qizhi still admonished: "The people's hearts are not chaotic, the army's heart is still stable, the adults have made a move to insult the family style, and if you don't get rid of the fire, you will be burned for 10,000 years, I hope the adults will think twice!" ”

Wu Xi was silent for a while, then stood up and said, "Think twice about a bird!" There is no turning back from the bow, I can't care so much, I have decided to be king! After speaking, he immediately commanded the soldiers to the arsenal and summoned the generals to explain the reason, and Lu Xi, Chu Qing, Wang Xi, and Wang Dazhong's henchmen congratulated him one after another, saying that they obeyed him, which further fueled Wu Xi's ambition of treason, so he faced the north to accept the Wang seal.

Subsequently, Wu Xi sent Xu Jingwang as the transfer envoy of the Sichuan capital and Chu Qing as the commander of the left and right armies, rushed to Yichang, and seized the warehouse of the consulate general. Cheng Song heard that Wu Xi had betrayed the Song Dynasty, so he hurriedly abandoned Xingyuan and fled. In the first month of the third year of Kaixi (1207), Wu Xi sent the general Guan Liji to take the Jin soldiers into Fengzhou, and ceded the four prefectures of Jie, Cheng, He, and Feng to the Jin State, with Tieshan as the national boundary.

On the fifteenth day of the first month, Wu Xi coerced and lured to surrender the Xingyuan Mansion and act as Yang Zhenzhong, the military officer of Da'an. Yang Zhenzhong, who was loyal to the Song Dynasty, was unmoved and did not give in.

"Dog thief, let me betray the court, don't you think!"

"Give me this, chop him!"

At the sound of an order, the rebels swarmed up, Yang Zhenzhong was outnumbered and hacked to death with a knife, but a loyal and patriotic general died at the hands of his own people!

On the eighteenth day of the first month, Wu Xi took the car of the Son of Heaven, swaggered through the city, and took the throne of Shu in Xingzhou, taking the governance office as the palace, calling the year the first year, Wu Xi sent someone to tell his aunt Zhao, and Zhao angrily cut off his kinship. His aunt Liu cried day and night, scolding endlessly, and Wu Xi helped her out.

Wu Xi's nephew Wu Xi was the ruler of Xingyuan, and when he saw Wu Xi's inscription, his expression was very uncalm, and he said very angrily: "The Wu family has a criminal and rebellious son, and it will be destroyed!" ”

After Wu Xi rebelled, Han Yanxuan was at a loss. Someone persuaded Han Yanxuan to take advantage of the situation to crown Wu Xi as king, and Han Yanxuan, who had no opinion, adopted this suggestion.

With Han Yanxuan's compromise, Wu Xi was even more fearless. Wu Xi proclaimed himself the king of Shu and convened his subordinates to discuss the implementation of the order of "cutting hair and leaving the left", and at the same time he sent Dong Zhen to Chengdu to repair the palace and prepare to move to Chengdu.

Wu Xi's 70,000 soldiers and Cheng Song's 30,000 soldiers, respectively, belonged to the ten commanders, and he sent Lu Qi and Fang Daxun to defend Wanzhou, boating down the Jialing River, claiming to meet with the Jin people to attack Xiangyang. Lu Qi soon arrived in Kuizhou and sent troops to hold the victorious and Luohu villages in Wushan to block the Song army entering Sichuan.
