Chapter 271: Zhao Gou: Why is the eldest husband without a wife (ask for a monthly pass!) )

As for how to deal with the Zhao and Song dynasties, Li Cun had already made a decision.

That is, to gradually disintegrate the resistance of the Zhao and Song dynasties militarily, and to control the central system of the Zhao and Song dynasties by political means, Tokyo Bianliang City.

To control Bianliang City in Tokyo by political means, Li Cun has basically done it.

And the gradual disintegration of the resistance of the Zhao and Song dynasties militarily made a mistake because of Li Cun's deviation......

The one who arrived at Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion in Xiangzhou first to deliver the news was not Mo Li, who chose to take away and recall Zhao Gou's edict, but Zhao Huan sent Xiuwu Lang Gate to wait for Hou Zhang before he went out of the city to meet Li Cun.

At that time, Zhao Huan also wanted Zhao Gou to quickly gather troops and horses and come to the rescue of King Qin of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Therefore, Hou Zhang brought the imperial pen in the wax book to Zhao Gou, and urged Zhao Gou to quickly mobilize the soldiers and horses of King Qin, and quickly rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After Zhao Gou finished reading Zhao Huan's imperial pen decree, Hou Zhang said to Zhao Gou: "When parting, Your Majesty announced: King Kang can set up a scholar in the middle school, order a draft edict, and accompany him to pass on the edict cheaply, and the officers and soldiers of Hebei, Jingdong, and Jingxi can come to the aid. ”

Seeing that the situation was so urgent, Zhao Gou immediately ordered Geng Yanxi to draft an edict, ordering Xindefu, Cizhou, Dezhou, Bozhou, Shenzhou and other prefectures and counties that were still under the control of the Zhao and Song dynasties to immediately raise troops, and to come to rendezvous before the 30th day of the first month after December 20, and then judge the situation and go to Tokyo Bianliang City King Qin to rescue him.

This edict was to be conveyed to all the prefectures and counties that were still under the control of the Zhao and Song dynasties, so many copies needed to be made.

Since there were no photocopiers in this era, it was not worth engaging in a set of movable type printing, so Zhao Gou organized people to copy overnight.

After copying the edict, every other day, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses sent a group of envoys to Xindefu, Cizhou, Dezhou, Bozhou, Shenzhou and other prefectures and counties that were still under the control of the Zhao and Song dynasties to convey the edict.

Zhao Gou sent a total of six groups of edict envoys.

Moreover, before each group of edict envoys set off, Zhao Gou had to personally go to see them off, and promised in public: "When you return from the edict, you will all be promoted to one level." ”

As a result, the envoys were overjoyed, and all of them braved the wind and snow to go to the prefectures and counties that were still under the control of the Zhao Song Dynasty to convey the edict of the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses.

It is precisely because of this that as long as it is still under the control of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, the edicts of the Generalissimo of the Soldiers and Horses have basically been delivered.

Since receiving the imperial pen decree sent by Zhao Huan to Hou Zhang, urging Zhao Gou to quickly gather the soldiers and horses of the Zhao Song Dynasty to go to Tokyo Bianliang Chengqin King Qin to rescue him, Zhao Gou has been unable to sleep and eat every day, he misses his mother Wei, his princess Xing Bingyi, and his five daughters.

It can be said that at this time, Zhao Gou was always concerned about his relatives in Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Because of this longing, Zhao Gou couldn't wait to immediately lead his troops south to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Regarding Zhao Gou's idea of rescuing Tokyo Bianliang City, many people who have no interests in Tokyo Bianliang City are very disapproving.

Even, some people persuaded Zhao Gou in front of Zhao Gou: "Although my generation does not know the geometry of the cadre army, but the former I am invincible in the Great Song Dynasty and the soldiers of the whole country, and now my generalissimo only has more than 10,000 soldiers and horses, and he can be the enemy. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Gou was very angry, and he also persuaded him not to rescue the people in Tokyo Bianliang City who were temporarily taking refuge in Xiangzhou.

Then, Zhao Gou repeatedly summoned the envoys and generals of the Generalissimo's Mansion to discuss how to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Qin Zai, Liu Ding, and Hou Zhang, the three envoys sent by Zhao Huan to deliver a letter to Zhao Gou, thought that Zhao Gou could lead the men and horses of the Generalissimo's Mansion directly south, and then go straight to King Qin of Bianliang City in Tokyo through Junzhou and Huazhou to rescue him.

- It has to be said that the envoys sent by Zhao Huan are still very loyal to Zhao Huan, and they want Zhao Gou to lead the soldiers and horses of the Generalissimo Mansion to King Qin to rescue him.

But many of the generalissimo's generals disagreed, they knew that at this time there were hundreds of thousands of heavy soldiers of the Great Qian Dynasty in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and they wanted to go to Bianliang City in Tokyo, which was basically tantamount to throwing themselves into the net, or they would hit the stone with an egg, and once they really went south, they would definitely be wiped out, so they didn't want to go south at all - they wanted to lead the troops north and return to the area of Xingzhou and Yuzhou that they were familiar with.

Therefore, these Song generals proposed that they could first cross the Yellow River and seize the mansion of the daimyo in Beijing, which did not have many soldiers and horses.

At this time, Qin Fu and Yan Qi, the deputy governors of the Northern Province, who had been dealing with Wang Yan and Zhao Ding in the Nanle area to seize the Beijing Daimyo Mansion, sent Meng Shining to Xiangzhou to send a letter to Zhao Gou, inviting Zhao Gou to recover the Beijing Daimyo Mansion together.

Meng Shishou crossed the Yellow River from Yuanshui Town through Zicheng.

Meng Shishou said to Zhao Gou: "At this time, the Yellow River has frozen, and it can be passed through it, and the cadres must not defend it. ”

The Yellow River is too long, so not to mention that the cadres only have tens of thousands of horses to guard the Yellow River, even if there are millions of horses guarding the Yellow River, they can only pick some key places to guard.

In this case, as long as the Yellow River freezes, the Yellow River can be said to be gone.

In this way, it is indeed a God-given opportunity for Zhao Gou to go north.

Since the military power of the Generalissimo Mansion is nominally in the hands of Zhao Gou, but in fact it is in the hands of various generals, so in the end, whether it is the envoy sent by Zhao Huan, or Zhao Gou, the only prince of the Zhao Song Dynasty who is currently outside, can only be coerced north by these generals.

In short, due to the insistence of a group of Song generals, Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion finally decided to cross the river north and join forces with Qin Fu and Yan Qi, the deputy governors of the northern province, waiting for an opportunity to seize the Daimyo's mansion, and then gather the army of King Qin of the Zhao and Song Dynasty in the Daimyo's mansion, and then study the next step of going to Tokyo Bianliang City King Qinwang to rescue the driver.

A few days later, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses first sent Liu Hao as the vanguard, leading a team of men and horses to advance south, close to the area of Junzhou and Huazhou, in order to confuse the cadres, in fact, the Generalissimo of Soldiers and Horses was all covering Zhao Gou's north.

At this time, Li Cun still thought that he would rely on Zhao Huan's edict to deceive Zhao Gou back to Bianliang City, Tokyo, so he did not order the encirclement and suppression of Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion.

As a result, it was self-defeating that Zhao Gou went to Nanle without danger and joined Qin Fu, Yan Qi and others, the deputy governor of Beidao.

This made Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion further strengthened, and at the same time, it also made Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion famous.

——Previously, because Bianliang City in Tokyo had been surrounded by cadres and the command was incomprehensible, Zhao Gou was ordered by Zhao Huan to set up the Generalissimo Mansion in Xiangzhou, and many state capitals did not know. Now, Zhao Gou led his troops to cross the river to the north and attacked the Beijing Daimyo Mansion strongly, so that everyone who was following this war knew that the Zhao Song Dynasty also had a generalissimo mansion, which could command the soldiers and horses of the Zhao Song Dynasty in a unified manner.

As a result, the soldiers and horses who were still willing to accept the rule of the Zhao and Song dynasties gathered on the battlefield of the Daimyo's Mansion......

The Daimyo's Mansion was originally the defense center and center of gravity along the Yellow River of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and it was originally the northern governor set up by Zhao Huanjun's ministers here, and the Xuanfu Division of Hedong in Hebei was also here.

At that time, there were heavy troops stationed here in the Beijing Daimyo's Mansion, and at its peak, there were even more than 150,000 soldiers and horses.

But when the cadres marched south, Fan Ne and Zhao Ye, the governor of Hebei Hedong, felt that they could not resist the southward movement of the cadres at all, so they decisively gave up the Daimyo's mansion, they first fled to the Xiangcheng area, and wanted to enter the Jingxiang area from there, but Zhao Han'er, the general of the cadre army stationed there, could not get through there, and there was no way, they fled to Heyang and Mengzhou, and wanted to find an opportunity to escape to Shaanxi.

Because Fan Ne and Zhao Ye supported the army to protect themselves, the cadres and soldiers obtained the Daimyo's Mansion without blood.

Later, Li Cun sent Zhao Ding and Wang Yan to garrison the Daimyo's Mansion.

On the side of the Zhao and Song dynasties, although Fan Ne and Zhao Ye ran away with a large number of men, Qin Fu, Yan Qi and others, the deputy governors of the Northern Province, chose to stay and wait for the opportunity to seize the Beijing Daimyo Mansion with the Song soldiers who were willing to be loyal to the Zhao and Song Dynasty with them.

There were about 7,000 men in this army.

A few days later, Liang Yangzu of Zhixinde Mansion led Wuyi Doctor Zhang Jun, Wuyi Lang Miao Fu and Fan Shi, as well as Wugong Lang Qi Chao, Congyi Lang Gaiyuan and other generals to report to Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion.

Liang Yangzu brought a total of more than 10,000 soldiers and more than 1,000 horses this time, and this is a team that can fight well.

This greatly enhanced the strength of Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion.

Zhao Gou was extremely happy because of this, and warmly comforted Liang Yangzu and the generals.

Liang Yangzu is a native of Dongping Xucheng, and is the fifth son of Liang Zimei of Liang Zimei, who was an official to the household department and Kaifeng Yin in the Zhao Ji era.

When Zhao Huan was liquidating, Liang Yangzu was also affected, and he was promoted to Bozhou Mingdao Palace.

Later, Zhao Huan was unavailable, so he regained Liang Yangzu's Xinde Mansion, which was not too close to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Gou trusts Liang Yangzu who sent charcoal in the snow.

In addition, I had the experience of being coerced north by a group of generals this time.

As soon as Liang Yangzu came, Zhao Gou asked Liang Yangzu: "Who is the most powerful of the generals to whom Longtu belongs?" ”

Liang Yangzu replied without even thinking about it: "Zhang Jun is the most powerful, and the cadres have gone to the city of Xinde Mansion several times, and Zhang Jun has won many battles. ”

As soon as Zhao Gou heard that Zhang Jun was so powerful, he immediately promoted Zhang Jun to the commander of the Generalissimo's Mansion and cultivated Zhang Jun as his own cronies.

Another day later, Zhicizhou Zongze led 2,000 men and horses to Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion to report.

As soon as Zong Ze saw Zhao Gou, he pleaded guilty for the bad memories that the people of Cizhou had brought to Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou, who was in urgent need of employment, suppressed his dislike for Zong Ze and the Cizhou people, comforted Zong Ze and the Cizhou soldiers, and asked Zong Ze to immediately assume the duties of deputy marshal.

Zong Ze then worked with Wang Boyan to help Zhao Gou manage the Generalissimo's Mansion.

Zong Ze has a rich resume, is upright and bold, and knows the soldiers with Shen Yi, with him helping Zhao Gou manage the Generalissimo Mansion, the Generalissimo Mansion soon became more organized.

Two days later, Wang Lin of Zhijun Prefecture also led a thousand men and horses to report to Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion.

However, it didn't take long for Wang Lin to tell Zhao Gou that his mother was old and sick and had no one to serve him, and he hoped to return to Junzhou to serve his mother.

Wang Lin, of course, is lying.

The real situation is that Wang Lin felt that Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion was a group of rabble, and it was impossible to be the opponent of the strong and strong cadre army, and then felt that the Zhao Song Dynasty should be hopeless, so he wanted to vote for the Great Qian Dynasty.

Zhao Gou guessed that Wang Lin might have different aspirations, but he considered that even if he was the one who kept Wang Lin, he couldn't keep Wang Lin's heart, so he let Wang Lin leave.

However, Zhao Gou also had one condition, that is, to let Wang Lin hand over the soldiers and horses he brought to Zong Ze to be under control.

Wang Lin agreed, and then left with only a few of his cronies.

When Zhao Gou went north, he wanted to recover the Daimyo's Mansion.

But after Zhao Gou and the others came, they fought with Wang Yan several times, but they were all defeated.

If it weren't for Wang Yan's large number of new troops, Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion would have been wiped out by Wang Yan a long time ago.

In addition, it was also because Li Cun did not let Wang Yan focus on cleaning up Zhao Gou, and Wang Yan, who also needed to defend everywhere, did not concentrate on the decisive battle with Zhao Gou's generalissimo mansion.

The Daimyo's Mansion couldn't be attacked for a long time, which made Zhao Gou uneasy, and he felt that he couldn't stay here any longer, otherwise their Generalissimo's Mansion would have to be destroyed by Wang Yan.

So, Zhao Gou summoned the officials and generals of the Generalissimo's Mansion for a meeting to discuss what they should do next?

At this time, Mo Li came to send an edict to Zhao Gou for Li Cun, no, for Zhao Huan.

The reason why Mo Li came so slowly was mainly because Mo Li originally thought that Zhao Gou was still in Xiangzhou, so he went to Xiangzhou first.

As a result, at that time, Zhao Gou had already led the Generalissimo Mansion to leave Xiangzhou and go north.

Mo Yan had no choice but to come north to chase Zhao Gou.

But what delayed Mo Li a lot of time was that at this time, the Yellow River, which was already frozen, was unexpectedly civilized again.

This made it impossible for Mo Li to cross the river directly from the ice like Zhao Gou and them.

And the Yellow River Bridge has long been burned down.

There was no way, Mo Li could only slowly find a way to cross the river.

This back and forth delayed Mo Yan a lot of time.

So much so that after so many days, Mo Yan sent Zhao Huan's edict to Zhao Gou's hands.

It is precisely because of this that it was not until this time that Zhao Gou and other people from the Generalissimo's Mansion learned that Tokyo Bianliang City had been breached by Li Cun, and now even Zhao Huan, the emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, had become Li Cun's prisoner.

Seeing that Zhao Huan's edict said that the two countries had negotiated peace and the war was over, Zhao Gou immediately disbanded the Generalissimo's Mansion and returned to Bianliang City, Tokyo, Zhao Gou immediately hid his face and wept: "This edict was written by the persecution of the thieves. ”

Wang Boyan didn't think so, he felt that the peace between the two countries was likely to be true, but he resolutely opposed Zhao Gou going back to die, and he also said that Zhao Gou could only contain the Great Qian Dynasty if he was outside.

Zong Ze said more directly, Li Cun is cunning, and it is absolutely impossible to easily negotiate peace with the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and the so-called peace negotiation is just Li Cun's strategy to delay the army, just to deceive them, the army of King Qin, to disband.

Zong Ze also believed that Bianliang City in Tokyo had been surrounded by cadres for a long time, and they had to go south as soon as possible to rescue King Qin, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable.

Seeing Zhao Gou's hesitation, Zong Ze said to Zhao Gou: "The monarch's father hopes that the army of King Qin will save him, and it is better than hunger and thirst, so the king should immediately gather his troops and horses and go straight to Kaide Mansion and build a camp in turn to relieve the siege of the capital." In case the enemy has another plan, our soldiers are already under the city, so that he will not dare to act rashly. ”

Although Wang Boyan also did not agree with Zhao Gou's return to Beijing, he also opposed Zong Ze's suggestion that he go south to King Qin.

Wang Boyan firmly believes that with the current point of the Generalissimo of the Generalissimo's Mansion, going south is to send him to death, and he must do what he can, and the top priority now is to find a safe place first, and then continue to convene the division of King Qin, and should also write to Fan Ne, Wang Xiang, and Zhao Ye, and ask them to bring the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Division of Hebei Hedong, the soldiers and horses of the West Road Governor and the North Road Governor to the Generalissimo of the Soldiers and Horses Mansion they took away, and also write a letter to Shaanxi, so that the Western Army can come and converge, and wait for the Generalissimo of the Soldiers and Horses to gather the soldiers and horses of the whole country. in order to go to King Qin's rescue.

Wang Boyan also suggested that Zhao Gou first go to Dongping Mansion, where it is accessible in all directions, and the key is that there are no cadres and troops operating there at present.

Zong Ze and Wang Boyan couldn't convince anyone.

And Zhao Gou was undecided.

On the one hand, Zhao Gou felt that Wang Boyan was obviously more reasonable.

But on the other hand, Zhao Gou was worried that if he didn't go to the rescue, his mother Wei, his princess Xing Bingyi and his five daughters would be in danger, after all, Li Cun's good woman was known to the world, and Li Cun was especially good at seizing the enemy's wife and daughter, and he was also worried that their Zhao family's country and society would not be safe.

After Geng Nanzhong learned of this, he arranged for Pan Yongshou, an official of the Zhihanlin Medical Bureau, to take his daughter Pan to visit Zhao Gou.

That night, Pan stayed to soothe Zhao Gou's hesitant heart.

The next day, Geng Nanzhong told Zhao Gou the story of Liu Bang's abandoned son and fled for his life, and then told Zhao Gou the story of Liu Bang's father, wife and all the family scrolls that had been captured by Xiang Yu.

Zhao Gou was greatly inspired and felt that even if Li Cunzhen played with his wife and concubine, what could he do, why would the eldest husband have no wife, and then made up his mind to take refuge in Dongping Mansion.

Then, Geng Nanzhong talked to Mo Li once.

Mo Yan then forged a secret edict from Zhao Huan, saying that Song Qian had already negotiated peace, and the soldiers and horses of the Generalissimo's Mansion should not be moved lightly.

Mo Li then changed his words and said that he didn't know whether the Generalissimo's Mansion was still loyal to the Zhao Song Dynasty, so he didn't take out Zhao Huan's real edict, and now he confirmed that Zhao Gou and others were all loyal to the Zhao Song Dynasty, so he took out Zhao Huan's secret edict.

With Zhao Huan's secret edict, Zhao Gou can justifiably not go to Tokyo Bianliang City King Qin to save him.

And Mo Li, who told this big lie, clearly knew that if the Daqian Dynasty had not helped him deal with the aftermath, his lie would have been self-defeating, and at that time, he would definitely not have a good end, so he took the initiative to find the secret agent of Wudesi who came with him, and told Zhao Gou's secret agent in detail about Zhao Gou's unwillingness to obey Zhao Huan's order and forced him to change the edict.

Wu Desi's secret agent hurriedly reported the matter to Zhang Chao with a letter from Feinu.

Zhang Chao hurriedly reported the matter to Li Cun.

At this time, Li Cun knew that he had made a big fuss.

Now, Li Cun regretted it too late, so he could only make a mistake and let Mo Li go undercover with Zhao Gou.

Most of the people in the Generalissimo's Mansion had no objection to Zhao Gou's decision, and even praised Zhao Gou Shengming.

Only Zong Ze and a few others resolutely opposed Wang Boyan's deployment, believing that Zhao Gou's choice was a big mistake and the consequences were unimaginable, and he insisted on leading his troops to Kaide Mansion.

Zhao Gou couldn't resist the stubborn Zong Ze, and promised to let Zong Ze lead his three thousand men and horses to the area of Kaide Mansion, and said to Zong Ze: "The deputy marshal can tell people along the way that King Kang is in the army. ”

Zong Ze was not afraid because he only had 3,000 men and horses, but went to Kaide Mansion without hesitation, preparing to go south to King Qin's rescue.

After Zong Ze left, some people led by Chen Kui, the commander of the Generalissimo's Mansion, Liu Hao, the vanguard commander of the former army, and Shang Gongxu, the commander of the Right Army, said in private that Zhao Gou was disloyal and unfilial, ruthless and unrighteous, and his father, mother, wife and concubine, five daughters, and all the clans were trapped in Bianliang City, Tokyo, and were humiliated by the enemy in every way, but he was bent on escaping, only caring about his own life and pleasure, not thinking about rescue and revenge, and being a man in vain, and praised Zong Ze as a loyal minister and a good general, and he will become a hero in the future.

Zhao Gou was red-faced when he heard this, and he didn't dare to refute because of his weak heart.

Seeing this, Geng Nanzhong gave Zhao Gou an idea, and asked Zhao Gou to take this opportunity to send those who did not listen to Zhao Gou's command to reinforce Zong Ze.

Zhao Gou felt that Geng Nanzhong's idea was very clever, so he appointed Chen Quan as the commander of Zong Ze's department, Liu Hao as the commander of the front army of Zong Ze's department, and Shang Gongxu as the commander of the left army of Zong Ze's department, and ordered them to each lead the 2,000 men and horses of the headquarters to set off to reinforce Zong Ze.

The next day, Zhao Gou appointed Chang Jing as the commander of the right army of Zong Ze's department, and set off with 2,000 men and horses from his headquarters; Wang Xiaozhong was appointed as the commander of the rear army of Zong Ze's department, and set off with a thousand men and horses from his headquarters.

Zhao Gou also asked Chen Qu and others to speed up the march, hurry up with Zong Ze's army, and garrison them in Kaide Mansion together.

Soon after Zong Ze and the others left, Sun Zhen of Zhibo Prefecture and Yao Peng of Zhishen Prefecture each led 2,000 men and horses to Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion, plus some recruits recruited by the Generalissimo Mansion of Soldiers and Horses, Zhao Gou had tens of thousands of horses in his hands.

Due to the fact that during this time, Zhao Gou used Zhang Jun and a group of generals who were loyal to him and very capable, and eliminated all those thorns, and now this army in the Generalissimo Mansion not only obeys Zhao Gou's command, but also has a certain combat effectiveness.

If Zhao Gou led this force to go south with Zong Ze, not to mention, it would indeed pose a certain threat to the cadre army.

But Zhao Gou didn't want to and didn't dare to go south now, he planned to go to Dongping Mansion to slowly develop slowly......
