Chapter 243: Victorious Class Master (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )

From Li Cun leading his army to besiege Bianliang City in Tokyo, to the Zhao and Song Dynasty paying all the war reparations demanded by Li Cun, it was actually more than a month in total.

Although Li Cun did not let people break through Bianliang City in Tokyo, he forced the Zhao Song Dynasty to agree to cede Hebei and Hedong to the Daqian Dynasty, and received so much war reparations, Li Cun's attack on the Song Dynasty was actually a huge victory.

On the other hand, Li Cun also saw that the Song army under the leadership of Zhao Huan should no longer dare to act rashly under the siege of his own city.

Therefore, after the last ship of the Daqian Dynasty left Tokyo Bianliang City and went south, Li Cun sent Han Fang into the city to bid farewell to Zhao Huan on his behalf.

Li Cun's farewell letter is as follows:

"On February 8, the fifth year of Hongwu, His Majesty the Great Qian Emperor sent a letter to the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty:

Yesterday, I was angry that the Gui Dynasty and the Jin State jointly attacked the Yanyun region of our dynasty, and drove the royal expedition to the capital. Fu inherited the throne of the emperor's younger brother, and then asked for repair, so according to the edict of the Yuan, the plan was considered, and the covenant was made. Day after day, the female cadres of the Gui Dynasty misled the country, provoked in vain, and did the work, but the suspicion and anger were really suspicious and angry, and it was Meng Chenhan, who told him to be lonely and sad with the sincerity of grief, and resent the quality of the same qi and close marriage, and forgave the great faith, and kept the end, and the alliance of the day before yesterday was not compared to this. And since the arrival of the army, there are a lot of demands, blasphemy and wisdom, and noble people, things are endless, and it is not happy. Stealing only the fire of the army, it is really difficult to collect it, since it is not the emperor's brother Renming violates the strategy, bends himself and loves the people, can An make this disaster a blessing?

Now that the great plan has been decided, and then there is no thought of the old things, but it is eternal and sincere, to protect the souls, to stabilize the society, and to be reconciled forever, so he ordered the troops under the city to retire from the old village, and it must be the ......same day class teacher."

Seeing that Li Cun had retired as promised, Zhao Huan was overjoyed, and hurriedly sent Wang Shiyong, the young Yin of Kaifeng Mansion, and others to bid farewell to Li Cun with many gifts such as tea fruit, borneol, wine and medicine.

Immediately afterwards, Zhao Huan sent Wang Qiu and Zheng Wangzhi as the deputy envoys to Qingcheng with the book to see Li Cun off.

Zhao Huan almost said, "Ancestor, you are finally gone, I will send you away thousands of miles away, so that you don't have to regret it again."

Because the army led by Li Cun was running thousands of miles, the lone army was deep, and now it was far away from the mainland, from Li Cun down, everyone was worried that when they retreated, they would be ambushed by the Song army halfway, or chased and killed by the Song army.

But—

Li Cun knew Zhao Huan's indecisive and vacillating character, so Li Cun estimated that the Song army would definitely pursue and ambush his lone army halfway, but since it was impossible for them to easily reach a unity within themselves, their speed of action would definitely not be too fast.

Therefore, according to his own judgment, Li Cun formulated a steady plan for withdrawing troops.

Based on this withdrawal plan, as early as a few days ago, Li Cun sandwiched all the women in the army such as Zhao Fujin, Zhao Duofu, Li Shishi, Zhao Yuannu, Wang Zhongduan, Hua Xiangrong, Zhao Zhuzhu, and Cui Shi in the goods, and escorted them to Yingtianfu by the Dongfu Army and the Zhongfu Army.

Immediately afterwards, Li Cun ordered Zhao Li to lead the infantry in the army to go north with all the baggage.

It was not until February 11 that Li Cun received the news that the infantry had crossed the Yellow River and controlled the Yellow River defense line and the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, that Li Cun personally led all the horse troops north. ….

Seeing that all the cadres had really withdrawn, the ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties were all overjoyed - they generally believed that the perilous situation faced by the Zhao and Song dynasties was over, and that the city of Bianliang in Tokyo should be lifted immediately and return to normalcy.

After learning that all the cadres had withdrawn, he immediately entered the palace and said to Zhao Huan: "The thief will not be equipped when he returns, please allow Your Majesty to allow Lao Chen to lead the army to pursue, waiting for the opportunity to attack him half-way, and the three battles can make him have no kind of trouble, if he returns safely, he will be in an unpredictable disaster."

As soon as Li Ze and other ministers of the main peace faction heard that they wanted to take the initiative to attack the cadres, they immediately persuaded Zhao Huan from the sidelines, saying that they had consumed a lot of wealth and endured endless humiliation, so they finally signed a permanent peace treaty with the Great Qian Dynasty, invited the cadres away, and must not break the peace treaty again, provoke the powerful cadres, and give the cadres an excuse to let the cadres fight back.

Zhao Huan also felt that the cadres had just withdrawn and had not gone far, so he rashly sent troops to pursue the cadres, what if he angered Li Cun and let Li Cun lead the cadres to make a comeback? He doesn't have a sister to please Li Cun anymore.

Therefore, Zhao Huan resolutely did not adopt the suggestion of the planter.

As an old military strategist with more than 60 years of experience in warfare, he was keenly aware that this might be the only chance for the Zhao Song Dynasty to avoid the destruction of the country or even turn things around, and if this opportunity was lost, the Zhao Song Dynasty might be in danger.

But Zhao Huan and those ministers who were in charge of peace just didn't agree to lead the troops to pursue the cadres.

The Seed Master Dao was so anxious about this that he was in a hurry, which made the Seed Master Dao, who was not in good health, fall ill all of a sudden.

In the eyes of many ministers of the Zhao and Song dynasties, it was under the leadership of Zhao Huan that their Zhao and Song dynasties won the victory in the defense of Tokyo, and compared this "victory" to the alliance of Tanyuan.

However, there are also loyal and insightful people who believe that during the alliance between the Yuan and Yuan, when the Zhao Song Dynasty paid 100,000 taels of silver and 200,000 pieces of silk to the Liao State, the Liao State returned the territory of Ying, Mo and other states occupied by the Liao State of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the two sides had their own gains and losses, which was a reciprocal negotiation. And this time it is obviously an alliance under the city, the Zhao Song Dynasty completely accepts unilateral punishment, and this peace treaty is not only an indemnity is to cede land, in addition, the Zhao Song Dynasty also sent three emperors, a concubine, and countless gifts to Li Cun.

For any regime to accept such a deeply unequal peace treaty would never be a victory, but an undisputed humiliation.

Zhao Huan actually knew very well in his heart about this, but he was unwilling to face his own pocket.

So Zhao Huan could only deceive himself and publicize this as a victory, and then celebrated it in a big way.

Soon, Zhao Huan issued an edict to amnesty the world in the name of celebrating victory, and the edict said:

"I inherited the sage, won the unification of Shao, and the slackness of the border court caused the suburbs. The spirit of the lotus sky, so that the enemy repented of the disaster, and after sending the envoy to talk about it, he withdrew from the division with an alliance. carrying thousands of miles of territory, suffering from slaughter and plunder; The Quartet is far away, and the diligent dispatch is more. The soldiers are tired of guarding, and the household is injured and lost. Every time I think of this, I feel sad and sad, and I can't keep it, but I make it difficult, and I always think about it, and I give it to one person. It is to use the grace of sparseness, the Ze of Pei Wanghao, Jia and the sea, and the bottom in Pizhong, which can be amnesty for the world..........

Then, Zhao Huan gave a letter of guarantee to the people to clarify his governing philosophy and attitude:

"Tell you and others, I will start from now on, and follow the old system of our ancestors. Choose ministers, cut internal servants, do not worship long-cherished favors, do not listen to female cadres, do not despise lords, do not give indiscriminately, do not take away the land of private swallows, do not exhaust all efforts to spend a lot of useless money, all things that harm the people of the beetle country, all immersion, and rest with you. There are female cadres who are not afraid, dare to break the law again, disturb my discipline, and should be severely tortured, and there will be no forgiveness! There are many advisers, and they will listen to me."

——It is not difficult to see from Zhao Huan's edict that Zhao Huan does have the intention to be angry, at least it sounds good.

Seeing Zhao Huan's statement, some people naively believe that the culprit who led to the cadre army to attack the Song Dynasty was Zhao Ji, and Zhao Huan was completely responsible for Zhao Ji, and Zhao Huan was on the throne for less than two months, so Zhao Huan should be given some tolerance and time, but there are also some people who know Zhao Huan's actions very well and say to others in private: "Those who die in the Song Dynasty must also be Zhao Huan."

On the third day after the withdrawal of the cadres, Zhao Huan and the ministers of the Zhao Song Dynasty discussed the policy of governance in the Yanhe Palace.

Xu Churen proposed: "Although the alliance of Lanyuan has been signed and the Liao army has retreated, it is still necessary to send heavy troops to escort it, and I am afraid that it will be unscrupulous and wantonly take captives. Now that the cadres have retreated for three days, they have sent a large number of soldiers to escort them according to the old policy of the Yuanyuan."

A few days ago, Wu Min suddenly proposed that Li Bangyan be dismissed and re-appointed as Dazai.

The reason given by Wu Min was that Shaozai Zhang Bangchang was taken away by Li Cun, and he could not go to the court to deal with political affairs at all, if Dazai was not in the court, the positions of the two prime ministers would be vacant, and the Zhao and Song courts would not be able to handle government affairs at all.

Zhao Huan seemed to have forgotten the shocking riot that Chen Dong and other students had caused five or six days ago, and he even directly agreed to Li Bangyan to fall into the ranks and continue to serve as the Dazai of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Wu Min knows very well that Li Bangyan's reputation is now stinky, but in order to get Zhao Huan's favor and invite Li Bangyan out to fight the main battle factions such as Xu Churen and Seed Master Dao, Wu Min still helped Li Bangyan make a comeback.

From this, it is not difficult to guess that Wu Min, who used to be the main battle faction, has now fallen to the main and the faction.

At this moment, hearing that Xu Churen was going to provoke the cadres and sabotage the peace treaty they had finally negotiated, Li Bangyan, Wu Min and other main peace factions came out one after another to express their opposition.

Li Bangyan said sharply: "If the army does not retreat, makes a comeback, and besieges the capital again, how can it resist?"

Xu Churen retorted without backing: "Dazai An dares to ensure that the cadres and troops return safely, and they will not despise my Great Song Dynasty, and wait for the autumn high horse fat to attack my Great Song again? Dazai must not forget, now that my Great Song Jingshi is an important place to cut off the northern and southern territories of the Great Qian, how can the Great Qian not have the heart to covet it?"

Zhao Huan felt that Xu Churen's words were very reasonable, so he approved Xu Churen's proposal, and immediately ordered that Yao Gu, Chong Shizhong, Zhe Yanzhi, Ma Zhong, Fan Qiong and other Song generals immediately lead their troops north to escort the cadres back to the division.

After learning about this, the seed master Dao ignored his physical discomfort and quietly told the Song generals: "If there is an opportunity to attack, attack it, if the cadres return to the north safely, the autumn will definitely happen again, and it must not be indulged." ….

Soon, more than 100,000 Song troops were ordered to go north to intercept the cadres......

At the same time, Chen Gongfu, the right secretary, stepped forward to impeach Li Bangyan and his henchmen Wang Xiaodi and Cai Mao for misleading the country, and asked Zhao Huan to remove them from their posts.

Chen Gongfu entered the officialdom as the first place (equivalent to the champion of the imperial examination) in Zhenghe for more than three years, he was first awarded the professor of Pingjiang Prefecture, and then went to Yuezhou to serve as the Shaoyin of Tianfu, in addition to the secretary Lang, not long ago, Zhao Huan ascended the throne and promoted Chen Gongfu to the right secretary.

Chen Gongfu is loyal to his duties, advocating integrity, and daring to speak out.

Chen Gongfu played to Zhao Huan and said:

"Chen Wen Xianzong used one Pei Du to level Huaixi, and Wu Zong used one Li Deyu and Ping Zelu. Since ancient times, to eliminate the difficulties and restore the merits, we must reject the public opinion, eliminate the evil of women, and trust the loyal and brave talents, and then blame them for success. Since the ministers heard that Bian Kou was in trouble, and the flea night was in danger, Zeng Yidutang slightly Chen guarded the imperial strategy, and saw that the ministers were constantly suspicious, and it had been a month to contain them, and the measures were not ready. Moreover, these few people, who have been in charge of the emperor for many years, are all sycophants and obedient to their wills, holding on to their friendships, and they have not tried to build a Ming thing, and they have made up for the sage, which has caused today's troubles. Gai Ping's life is not enough, how can it be changed today? Your Majesty's reuse of people today will sigh about the people's hearts, not only is it not enough for today's affairs, but he will also misunderstand Your Majesty in the future......

As soon as Chen Gongfu's recital was published, Li Bangyan, who was already extremely famous, immediately fell into the attack of the people, and there were voices everywhere asking Zhao Huan to treat Li Bangyan's crime of misleading the country.

Seeing this, Li Bangyan knew that he couldn't go down as a slaughterer.

Li Bangyan then took the initiative to find Zhao Huan and said to Zhao Huan: "The ministers are anxious, how dare they plan for themselves? The emperor's Zen position, entrusted the ministers with heavy responsibilities, the ministers have sworn that they have done their best, and they are repeatedly dying, and they do not avoid it. Today's criminals, fan the crowd to listen, compete in a hurry, white and black, the public listens to the unheard, the gold is terrible, and they don't know how to avoid it, why are they disgusted with the hearts of the people? For the sake of today's plan, only when the minister goes can he prove that the minister is dedicated to the public and selfless......

It has to be said that Li Bangyan is quite self-aware and knows that he is no longer suitable to be the prime minister, so he took the initiative to write to Zhao Huan to ask for Zhishi, which did not make Zhao Huan too embarrassed.

- When Zhao Huan was the crown prince, Li Bangyan blessed Zhao Huan a lot in order to fight with Wang Huang, and when Zhao Ji was on the throne, Li Bangyan also gave Zhao Huan a lot of help, so Zhao Huan's feelings for Li Bangyan were very unusual, so that Zhao Huan knew that Li Bangyan was known as the "prodigal son", which was a little different from his three views, and also made Li Bangyan the prime minister.

But now Li Bangyan's reputation is too bad, and under the pressure of public opinion, Li Bangyan is so knowledgeable, and Zhao Huan will let Li Bangyan become a leader.

Soon after, Zhao Huan issued an order to remove Li Bangyan, Wang Xiaodi, and Cai Mao from their positions in the imperial court.

- Wang Xiaodi then served as the envoy of Liquan, Cai Mao then served as the governor of the Daimyo Mansion, and Li Bangyan asked to make up for his time to keep filial piety (when his father died in the fifth year of Xuanhe, he was recalled by Zhao Ji after only two months of filial piety, and according to the Ding Wei funeral system, he should keep filial piety for three years), Zhao Huan played and ordered him to go to the Mingdao Palace in Bozhou.

After Li Bangyan and others were dismissed, the decision-making center of the Zhao and Song dynasties entered again

The reorganization was carried out and a new leadership team was formed: ....

took Zhang Bangchang as Dazai and his subordinate squire (at this time, Zhang Bangchang was still in the sightseeing group, so he was only a nominal prime minister); Wu Min is Shaozai; Xu Churen is a Chinese scholar and a part-time privy councilor; Tang Ke is the Privy Council; Geng Nanzhong is Shangshu Zuocheng; Li Ze is the right man of Shangshu......

……

Since the Song army, which was ordered to go north to catch up with the cadre army, acted separately, the pace of their march was very inconsistent.

The fastest of them was the 20,000 cavalry led by Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong, who were ordered by the master to pursue the Qianjun, and they quickly chased the Yellow River with the speed of the horse army, and then continued to follow the footsteps of the Qianjun north.

However, Yao Gu, Seed Division, Zheyan and other departments received orders relatively late, and a large number of infantry troops marched slowly, so they were unable to rush to the Yellow River for a long time.

It is worth mentioning that there is another very important reason why the armies of Yao Gu, Chongshizhong, and Zheyanzhi are slow to march.

That is, Yao Gu, Zhu Shizhong, Zheyan and other armies received two completely different orders.

- The order given by the Privy Council (Xu Churen and Chongshi Dao) to Yao Gu and other Song generals was to let them pursue the Qianjun. The orders given by the three provinces (Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong) to Yao Gu and other Song generals were to carefully escort the cadres across the Yellow River.

The decrees of the Zhao and Song courts were inconsistent, and the Song generals who had Yao Gu and other commanders outside really didn't know what to do.

Moreover, if they follow the orders of the three provinces, as long as they reach the Yellow River, they will be considered to have completed the order.

Actually-

The reason for this situation is, of course, the internal struggle between the main battle and the main peace, and Zhao Huan's constant war and indefiniteness.

Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other rulers of the Lord and He believed that once the Zhao and Song dynasties went to war with the Great Qian Dynasty and tore up the peace treaty they had signed with great difficulty, there would be endless troubles, so they persuaded Zhao Huan, and then sent people to chase after the Song army, strictly prohibiting all armies from sending troops to attack the Qian.

Fearing that the army would attack without authorization, these lords and factions also sent people to send a military flag to each army with the inscription "Those who send troops without authorization shall be beheaded according to military law" and erected it in front of the Chinese army tent of each Song army.

Later, Yue Fei, the general of the cadre army, was ordered by Li Cun to lead his troops south to attack the North and South Passes, and then broke through Longde Mansion and occupied Gaoping County.

When many officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties learned of this, they were shocked, and they were worried that Yue Fei would lead his army south to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo again.

Zhao Huan hurriedly convened a meeting of the Zaizhi to discuss countermeasures.

The deacons challenged Xu Churen one after another, complaining that he and the seed master Dao had provoked the cadres, so that the Zhao and Song dynasties fell into a passive situation again.

Xu Churen said confidently: "Yue Fei will come to meet Emperor Daqian, and he will definitely not go south."

Although Xu Churen said so, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other people from the main and faction still went to Zhao Huan behind Xu Churen's back to exaggerate the crisis.

Zhao Huan was moved by Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and other people from the main peace faction, and secretly sent people to speed north with gold plates, and the 20,000 Song cavalry led by Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong of the cadre army were about to catch up.

Ma Zhongbu and Fan Qiongbu were only twenty miles away from Guan Shengbu behind the Qianjun Palace at this time, and Guan Shengbu had even stopped and was ready to fight Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong.

But at this moment, Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong received Zhao Huan's edict to withdraw their troops.

Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong were stunned, because Guan Sheng's army only had 10,000 horses, and they had a great possibility of defeating the Qianjun army and completing the goal of deterring the Great Qian Dynasty.

But the emperor's order, how dare Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong not listen?

There was no way, Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong could only order to stop chasing the cadres and return the same way.

When Xu Churen heard that Zhao Huan had ordered the withdrawal of the army, he immediately ran into the palace to meet Zhao Huan, reasoned with Zhao Huan with the facts, and said that if the Qianjun army was not defeated once, the Zhao Song Dynasty would be in danger of destroying the country.

What is eye-shattering is that Zhao Huan was persuaded by Xu Churen again, and ordered all armies to continue to pursue the cadres.

Wait for this wave of messengers to catch up with Ma Zhong

When he was with Fan Qiong, Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong had already withdrawn according to Zhao Huan's previous order, and they were already about to walk to the Yellow River at this time.

After receiving the holy decree that Zhao Huan had to pursue, Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong looked at each other and smiled bitterly, and then they could only continue to pursue the cadres with strong spirits.

But by the time Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong led 20,000 cavalry to catch up with the Qianjun again, they had already reached the area controlled by the Daqian Dynasty.

Ma Zhong and Fan Qiong looked at the 20,000 people in their hands who had already been exhausted physically and mentally several times, looked up to the sky and sighed, and then could only regret retiring from the army.

In this way, Li Cun won the class again without any danger......
