…

After Li Cun arrived in Yanjing, the first thing he did was to personally check whether this year's grain harvest in the Yanyun area did not look like what Chen Hoop and others had reported.

After confirming that this year's grain harvest in the Yanyun area was indeed bumper, the second thing Li Cun did was to detain all the officials of the Song Dynasty such as Zhao Ding, Qin Hui, Zhao Liangsi, and Ma Kuo to form a new sightseeing group.

Then, Li Cun ordered the army to be reorganized and prepared to fight the Song Dynasty.

The Zhao Song Dynasty saw that Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys were gone, and there was also some news that the Great Qian Dynasty was about to kill the Song Dynasty recently, which made Tong Guan uneasy.

Therefore, Tong Guan sent Fu Cha, a member of the ministry, to serve as the envoy of He Zhengdan of the Daqian Dynasty to Yanjing to explore the truth.

On the way to Yanjing, Fu Cha heard a lot of rumors that the Daqian Dynasty was preparing to attack the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, the situation on the border of the Qian-Song Dynasty, that is, here in the Baigou River, was also very tense, and the victorious army did not dare to relax every day as if it were facing a great enemy.

Someone kindly advised Fu Cha not to venture to Yanjing at this time.

But Fu Cha insisted: "I was ordered by the emperor to send an envoy, and if I stop when I hear the difficulties, I will be looked down upon by the big cadres, and I will feel that I have no one in the Song Dynasty." , and then resolutely went to Yanjing.

Fu Cha and his entourage soon crossed the Baigou River and came to the territory of the Daqian Dynasty.

In a few moments, hundreds of horsemen roared in, surrounding Fu Cha and his party.

Fu Cha asked the officers and soldiers, "What do you want to do?"

The officers and soldiers of the cadre army did not answer, and only took Fu Cha to Han Shizhong.

A small colonel asked Fu Cha to meet Han Shizhong.

Fu Cha said loudly: "Although General Han is a general, he is also a minister, and he is equal to my position, so why should he worship him?"

The little school holds the knife and "persuades again".

Fu Cha said, "Dead ears, how can there be people who worship them!"

Then, Fu Chalang said to the left and right, "I will worship by the enemy, and I will not be dishonored for the sake of the country, and I will die. My parents are old, and they will miss me, and they will be very close when they hear it, and if they can get rid of it, they will remember my words to tell my relatives, and know that I am dead, and I will not understand their infinite sorrow."

The Song people wept when they heard this.

Seeing this, Han Shizhong stepped forward and said, "Fu Xianggong has integrity, fearless of life and death, he is a great Confucian in the world, and Han Shizhong is ashamed."

After speaking, Han Shizhong straightened his clothes and bowed to Fu Cha.

After saying goodbye, Han Shi said faithfully: "Fu Xianggong, don't blame, the war between you and me is about to start, and our emperor has an order, all the military generals of the Song State who meet them are not allowed to be killed, and they are all imprisoned, thinking that they will be used by our dynasty in the future, and I can't wait for the direct detention of the minister, so I want to find an excuse."

In fact, Han Shizhong did not tell the truth.

The reason why Han Shizhong and the others humiliated Fu Cha was mainly because they wanted to see if these literati, who were usually high above and full of benevolence and morality, were really as dignified as they usually preached to the outside world.

As a result, Han Shizhong and the others have really seen each other this time, and Fu Cha is really a very decent hard bone.

When Fu Cha heard that the Daqian Dynasty was really going to invade the Zhao and Song Dynasty, his heart couldn't help but tighten!

Fu Cha had the intention to send the news back, so that Zhao Ji Junchen could quickly prepare for resistance.

But Fu Cha and his party were all packed by Han Shizhong and sent to Yanjing. ….

Soon, Fu Cha saw Zhao Ding, Qin Hui, Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others.

From Zhao Ding and them, Fu Cha learned that Li Cun had returned to Yanjing from Yingtianfu and was making final preparations for the Gan Song Dynasty recently, and the Gan Song Dynasty was inevitable.

But what can I do if I know this, all of them are now prisoners of the ranks, and they can't send any news.

The day after Fu Cha was detained, Tong Guan sent another mission.

——Tong Guan also recently heard the rumor that the Daqian Dynasty was going to do the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and he was worried that the Daqian Dynasty would really do the Song, so following Fu Cha's team, he sent another delegation headed by the Huiqing envoy He Yunzhong and the deputy envoy Wuhan Ying to Yanjing.

He Yunzhong and Wuhan Ying knew that the Daqian Dynasty might be going to kill the Song Dynasty, but they

still came to Yanjing without hesitation like Fu Cha.

Han Fang, who was in charge of entertaining the Song envoys, forced He Yunzhong to ask if he was willing to surrender, but He Yunzhong would rather die than surrender.

Wuhan Ying is willing to surrender.

But Wuhan Ying's surrender was fake.

- Wuhan Ying is a military general, he was originally an inspector in Yutian County, appointed to serve as a deputy envoy temporarily, he is very scheming, he saw that the Daqian Dynasty was ready to invade the Zhao Song Dynasty on a large scale, and the Zhao Song Dynasty still knew nothing, so he pretended to surrender, ready to find an opportunity to escape back to the Zhao Song Dynasty to inform Zhao Ji Junchen to prepare.

It's a pity that when Wuhan Ying fled to the border, he was captured by Han Shizhong again.

Generally speaking, these people from the Zhao and Song dynasties, including their entourage, are all very dignified, and none of them have really surrendered to the Daqian Dynasty.

……

On the day that He Yunzhong was detained by the Daqian Dynasty, Cai Youzuo asked Zhao Ji to abolish the two armies of Ansu and Baoxin, and restore the two armies to Liangmen and Suicheng counties.

Ansu and Baoxin two armies were built to prevent the invasion of Liao during the reign of Zhao Guangyi, the two armies and Baozhou and Yizhou formed a dog-tooth staggered trend, mutual containment, and can control the inverted horse pass, is an important colleague of Hebei and Hedong, in the Song Liao Yuan battle, Ansu and Baoxin two armies are known as "Tongliang Gate, Tiesui City", for the Zhao Song Dynasty to block the Liao army for a long time, so this two armies are one of the most important barriers of the Zhao Song Dynasty along the northern border of Hebei.

The reason why Cai You asked Zhao Ji to abolish the Ansu and Baoxin armies was mainly because during this time, there were always alarms in the direction of Hebei, saying that the Daqian Dynasty was going to invade the Zhao Song Dynasty, and Cai You was very worried that these news would attract Zhao Ji's attention, and then affect his status as the first military person of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In order to cover people's eyes and make Zhao Ji Junchen think that there was no war in the north, Cai You proposed to abolish the two armies to show the stability of the border situation.

In Zhao Ji's impression, in the Hebei region, except for the Changsheng army, all the other armies were overwhelmed, and it was better to abolish them, which could just reduce the increasingly huge military expenditure of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Therefore, Zhao Ji quickly got the right thing to do, and ordered to abolish the Ansu and Baoxin armies as soon as possible.

On the eve of the war, Cai You, the supreme military director of the Zhao and Song dynasties, abolished the two dangerous passes for such an absurd reason, which is really strange in the world.

What's even more speechless is that Zhao Ji even agreed.

Moreover, don't forget, it was Zhao Ji who made Cai You, who was unlearned and unskilled, the supreme military director of the Zhao Song Dynasty. ….

In this case, Zhao Ji should not be the king of the country, who should be the king of the country?

Cai Youzhen doesn't care about these "little things" on the border, he has been busy fighting with his father Cai Jing recently, preparing to bring down his father, and then become the prime minister of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Zhao Ji has been more and more annoyed by Cai Jing recently, he hopes that Cai Jing can automatically resign, give up the phase, and change someone who makes him more comfortable, such as Cai You, to take the position.

But after Cai Juan was ordered to be suspended, Cai Jing had no idea of leaving the phase.

- Cai Jing has been the prime minister four times, and he knows the wonder of power, he finally regained his appearance this time, how can he easily hand over power?

Zhao Ji became more and more dissatisfied with Cai Jing's refusal to hand over power, so Zhao Ji ordered Cai You to persuade Cai Jing to take the initiative to resign as prime minister.

At the beginning, Cai You also took into account the father-son relationship between him and Cai Jing, and discussed with Cai Jing with kind words, so that Cai Jing took the initiative to give up the position of prime minister.

But Cai Jing just held the position of prime minister and didn't let go, which made Cai You hate it so much that the father and son fell over.

Once Cai You went to Cai Jing's mansion and was just in time for Cai Jing to talk to the guests.

Cai You ignored the guests, and as soon as he came in, he hurriedly stepped forward and grabbed Cai Jing's hand to diagnose the pulse, and said, "Xianggong's pulse is soothing, is there anything uncomfortable?"

Cai Jing said, "It's fine."

Cai You listened to this, let go of Cai Jing's arm, turned around and left.

Cai You came and went in a hurry, and made the guest a second monk - he was confused, so he asked Cai Jing, "Why is Cai Shumi like this?"

Cai Jing said helplessly, "You must not know the reason, this rebel thinks about the cause

I am sick and have been dismissed as prime minister."

On this day, Cai You, who couldn't bear it anymore, came to Cai Jing's house with a fierce attitude and said, "The official family called you Zhishi, you don't want to toast and not eat and drink."

When Cai Jing heard this, he cried and said, "Why don't you let Jing go for a few years? Let there be slanderers."

Cai Yu replied, "I don't know."

Cai Jing also said: "It is better to go to Beijing when you are old, and you can't bear to beg for it, and the above favor has not been repaid, and this heart is well known."

When the people on the left and right heard that Cai Jing called his son Cai Youzun "Gong", they all snickered.

But Cai You still didn't get in the oil and salt, so he forced Cai Jing to hand over the phase.

Seeing this, Cai Jing knew that he really had no chance to continue to rely on the position of prime minister, so he reluctantly handed over the prime minister's seal.

Cai You brought back Cai Jing's Prime Minister Great Seal and handed it to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji ordered someone to write a recital of resignation instead of Cai Jing, so that Cai Jing completed the fourth resignation.

Cai Jing has not been the prime minister for a long time this time, but the impact is very bad, especially when he uses his third son Cai Qian to help him deal with government affairs.

To be fair, Cai Jing is interested in helping Zhao Ji save the situation at the end of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and wants to help the general of the building to fall and turn the tide, but he is too old, and the Zhao Song Dynasty is also terminally ill and incurable.

This made Cai Jing's fourth appointment as prime minister a huge joke, and also laid the groundwork for him to be beaten by Chen Dong as the head of the six thieves in the future.

All in all, when the Daqian Dynasty had begun to start the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji Junchen was still fighting for power, favor, and infighting as before, and he was not aware of the upcoming war, let alone prepared. ….

……

On the side of the Great Qian Dynasty.

After everything was ready, Li Cun ordered Yue Fei of Daizhou to do it first.

The reason why Li Cun let Yue Fei make the first move was mainly because the terrain in Hedong was dangerous and easy to defend and difficult to attack, and Tong Guan was sitting in Hedong at this time, Li Cun hoped that Yue Fei could take advantage of the Song army's unpreparedness and fight down a few more dangerous passes in one go, so as not to take people's lives in the future.

After Yue Fei received the order from Li Cun, he quickly led his army south.

After Tong Guan received an urgent report from the front, he hurriedly discussed countermeasures with Fan Ne, Wang Yun, Zhu Yantong and other staff officers of the Xuanfu Division.

At the suggestion of Fan Ne and others, Tong Guan decided to immediately go back to Tokyo Bianliang City to go to Que, that is, to escape back to Tokyo Bianliang City to discuss with Zhao Ji what to do.

After Tong Guan made up his mind, he said in front of Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, and Zhang Xiaochun's son Zhang Hun: "Daqian has invaded my Great Song Dynasty, the current situation is critical, and the court still knows nothing.

Zhang Xiaochun was stupid when he heard this, and he hurriedly said: "The Qianjun went south to enter the Kou, and the king should gather all the troops and horses in Taiyuan and resist the invasion of the Great Qian. And the beggar king is stationed here, and he does his best to lead the people to serve the country. My Taiyuan Mansion is a dangerous city and a strong city, and people are also good at fighting, so thieves may not be able to break it."

Tong Guan was furious and said sharply: "Guan Xuanfu is not responsible for defending the territory, if the Xuanfu Division is stationed here to operate, what do you want the handsome ministers to do? This is your Zhang Xiaochun ministry, and you have to work hard! When he arrived in Beijing, he sent all the troops and horses to respond on the same day, so that it would be useless to stay here."

Seeing Tong Guan say such shameless words, Zhang Xiaochun became angry, he came to his son Zhang Hun and said, "It is common to see King Tong doing a great appearance, but when he comes to the occasion, he is so cowardly, and he doesn't care about being the military minister of the Great Song Dynasty, he should defend the country against tribulations, but he has always only thought about running away, which is very modest!"

After that, Zhang Xiaochun turned his head to Zhang Hun and said, "Hugh! Stop! His own father and son are with him!"

Although he was humiliated by Zhang Xiaochun like this, Tong Guan still fled with his tail between his legs, leaving only Wang Yu and the 3,000 Shengjie army to help Zhang Xiaochun hold on to Taiyuan City and wait for help.

Let's talk about Yue Fei.

After Yue Fei went south, there was no battle along the way, and almost all the cities, dangerous passes and fortresses were opened and surrendered as soon as the cadres arrived.

The main reason for this situation is that:

For this reason, the defense of the northeastern part of the river was all in charge of the Yisheng army.

And the soldiers of the Yisheng Army are all Han people in the Yanyun area, and they are looking forward to Li Cungan and Song, and they are already looking forward to it.

Now, Li Cun finally sent a large army to fight the Song Dynasty, how could the soldiers of the Yisheng Army not immediately surrender and become the pioneers of the Daqian Dynasty?

Since there were people who surrendered everywhere, this made the Longxiang army advance extremely fast.

Within a few days, Long Xiang's army arrived in Gorilla Prefecture.

Scarlet Prefecture is also a strategic location in the Hedong region, and has been known as the "key to the north of Jin" since ancient times.

The name of the governor of Gorilla Prefecture is He Quan, and he is not a Han'er, but an authentic Song person.

However, He Quan is not as virtuous as Fu Cha and He Yunzhong, seeing that the army of Long Xiang is pressing, he judged the situation and thought that this point of men and horses in Orangutan would not be able to resist the attack of the dry army, so he simply gave up resistance and chose to surrender in Kaesong. ….

Of course, if you want to say that He Quan knows the current affairs and considers the people in the city, it can also be reasonable.

After capturing the Gorilla Prefecture without much effort, the next target of the Long Xiang Army was the famous Shiling Pass.

Shiling Pass, also known as "Baipi Pass" and "Shiling Town", is located in the north of Taiyuan and is the only place to pass through the clouds to Taiyuan.

The terrain of this pass is steep, the ridge crosses the east and west, the road runs north and south, guards the main road of Taiyuan leading to the orangutan, the generation, the cloud and the Shuo, a husband is the pass, ten thousand people do not open, it has always been the place where the soldiers must fight.

Back then, when Zhao Kuangyin personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty, the Liao State sent troops to Jinyang (Taiyuan) to reinforce the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin ordered He Jiyun to lead the troops to Shiling Pass to block the attack, and the Song army and the Liao army launched a bloody battle for Shiling Pass.

In the end, the Song army paid a huge price to achieve a great victory, capturing and assassinating Shi and the two people, obtaining more than 100 births, beheading more than 1,000 ranks, more than 700 horses, and many armor.

Now, in the face of the aggressive offensive of the cadres and the commanders, Zhang Xiaochun was very anxious, and he was eager to find a general to guard the pass and block the cadres north of Shiling Pass, so as to buy some time for the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Soon, someone recommended Jijing to Zhang Xiaochun, saying that Jijing could guard Shiling Pass.

Ji Jing once conquered Li Cun and Fang La.

In the battle to recover Yanjing, Ji Jing also served as a pioneer general and had rich practical experience.

However, when Zhang Xiaochun ordered Ji Jing to go to Shiling Pass to guard the pass, Ji Jing refused on the grounds of insufficient troops.

Zhang Xiaochun had no choice but to order Wang Zongyin to lead his newly recruited brave army to Shiling Pass with Ji Jing, and at the same time ordered Geng Shouzhong to lead 8,000 Yisheng troops to help.

Seeing this, Ji Jing had to go to Shiling Pass.

But Ji Jing went, but he was extremely distrustful of Geng Shouzhong.

Because Geng Shouzhong is also a Han'er, and he is also a general of the Liao State and the deputy commander of the Yisheng Army.

In the recent period, the Yisheng Army and Han'er rebelled against the Song Dynasty and helped the Daqian Dynasty to attack the Zhao Song Dynasty, which is already well known.

Therefore, Ji Jing ordered Geng Shouzhong to serve as the vanguard and walk at the forefront of the army.

- Ji Jing is like this, because he is worried that Geng Shouzhong is behind him and suddenly attacks him.

But even so, Jijing is still not at ease.

Halfway through, Ji Jing suddenly led his entourage to run away on the grounds that Geng Shouzhong was going to rebel.

And after Geng Shouzhong led the army to Shiling Pass, he really dedicated Shiling Pass to Yue Fei.

When Ji Jing heard that Geng Shouzhong had really defected to the enemy, he did not dare to return to Taiyuan, but fled to Fenzhou.

As the last natural barrier and important checkpoint north of Taiyuan, Shiling Pass was easily lost.

Along the way, the Song army that Yue Fei and the soldiers of Long Xiang's army encountered all rebelled when they heard the wind, and then turned into guides and vanguards, so that the cadres and troops were like no one until Taiyuan.

Seeing this, under the teaching of the supervising army, the cadres and soldiers realized that this was not their merit, but their emperor's prestige, otherwise how could they come to Taiyuan without fighting?

Of course, this is also because the people who come to vote all say: "We have waited for Emperor Mu Daqian to be famous for a long time, and I am sent by the saints

The army hangs the people to fight crimes, and there is no way to fight against the truth, which is really Zhou Fa Yin soup, how dare we go against the sky?"
