Chapter 296: Return Jing Kang's Shame to Jin Ren (Ask for a Monthly Pass!) )
… World War I settled the Central Plains? Decided or not? It's set. But the problem is that this is too different from what Li Cun imagined before.
Li Cun's previous plan was to defeat all the Song troops in the First World War, capture them alive or kill Zhao Gou, and then suppress and appease them, pacify the rout of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, as well as the bandits and rebels entrenched in the Central Plains, completely recover the Central Plains, and then concentrate on recovering the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack.
But Li Cun never expected that he only defeated Fan Zhixu and Zong Ze, and before he officially fought with Zhao Gou, Zhao Gou completed Zhao Ranran's transformation, and directly took his generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses to open the mansion, without the slightest hesitation, which greatly surprised him.
Seriously. Although Li Cun's information transmission network is the fastest in this era, no matter how many secret agents there are, no matter how fast the flying slave flies, he doesn't say that Zhao Gou, who runs and runs, can run fast.
By the time Li Cun learned the news that Zhao Gou had made a detour to Hebei and headed for Huaizhou, Zhao Gou had almost already run to the Xinxiang area.
To be honest, at this time, if Li Cun was desperate to hunt down Zhao Gou, he would actually have a chance to intercept Zhao Gou.
But the problem is that Zhao Gou is not fighting, but Zhao Zisong, Weng Yanguo, who were preparing for a decisive battle with the cadre army, and He Zhitong, who was preparing to fight a decisive battle with the cadre army, also gathered more than 200,000 troops to eyeing the Gyeonggi area.
Previously, Weng Yanguo and Zhao Zisong each formed the division of King Qin in the name of King Qin's rescue. Weng Yanguo claimed to have an army of 200,000 because he had obtained the soldiers and horses along the Huai River to prevent the cadres from going north, and the men and horses of the host governor prepared by Hu Zhiru.
In terms of numbers alone, Weng Yanguobu was the largest of several Song armies. However, although there are many people in Weng Yanguo's army, 100,000 of them are naval troops trained by the Zhao Song Dynasty to recover the southern region occupied by Li Cun, and their combat power on land is extremely limited.
Weng Yanguo still has a certain understanding of the true strength of his department, so his department has been stationed near Yingzhou to watch, and has never dared to approach the Gyeonggi area.
Zhao Zisong is a distant relative of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and has a little bit of Liu Bei's meaning. After Li Cun's war against the Song Dynasty, Zhao Zisong has been actively recruiting troops to prepare for war.
By the time Li Cun broke through Bianliang City in Tokyo and abolished the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhao Zisong had already gathered 20,000 or 30,000 Qin Wang's troops.
After receiving Zhao Huan's edict from King Qin, Zhao Zisong marched to the Gyeonggi area as soon as possible. However, because Li Chu said that the cadre army had hundreds of thousands of horses in the Gyeonggi area, Zhao Zisong did not dare to advance after arriving in Chenzhou, so he could only keep writing letters to the commanders of the various Qinwang divisions, asking everyone to go to Qinwang together to rescue them.
Later, due to the proximity of the station, Zhao Zisong found Weng Yanguo and proposed that the two of them build an altar to kill cattle and form a blood alliance.
Weng Yanguo felt that Zhao Zisong's idea was good, and readily agreed, but insisted on being the leader of the alliance.
- To be honest, from the point of view of strength, Weng Yanguo threw Zhao Zisong several streets, and it is understandable that he wants to be the leader of this alliance.
Weng Yanguo said to Zhao Zisong: "I was ordered by the king to enter the guard, and the army of 200,000 was carried by the prince, and the public was the ear of the Chenzhou guard, and the hand was only 320,000 people, and I should be the leader of the alliance." But Zhao Zisong insisted,
"Zhou Zhizong Alliance, different surnames are the queen", that is, the Zhou Dynasty's Zongmeng, in addition to the same surname, there are also different surnames, but different surnames should be listed after the same surname, so it is opposed to Weng Yanguo as the leader of the alliance, and the implication is that he will be the leader of the alliance.
The two had a dispute over this, and the alliance between them could not continue. At this time, He Zhitong also commanded the army of 8,000 Qin Kings and also came to Chenzhou.
After He Zhitong learned of the dispute between Weng Yanguo and Zhao Zisong, he said to them: "Generalissimo King Kang is in Jichuan, why don't we lead the troops to listen to moderation, why not fight for the main alliance?" "During this time, Zhao Gou's generalissimo of the world's soldiers and horses has a lot of momentum, no weaker than any of the Qin Wang's divisions, the key is that Zhao Gou is the prince has Zhao Huan's holy decree to control the world's soldiers and horses, with strength, dignity, and righteousness.
Therefore, Weng Yanguo and Zhao Zisong finally chose to follow He Zhitong's advice, and the three of them jointly wrote to the Generalissimo's Mansion of the World's Soldiers and Horses, expressing their willingness to listen to his dispatch.
But Zhao Zisong still remembered the bloody alliance, and finally under Zhao Zisong's repeated insistence, Weng Yanguo, Zhao Zisong, He Zhitong and Rong Wei and others still held a bloody ceremony on the altar, and jointly drafted the Qinwang League, which said: "The thieves committed the Beijing Que again, invaded and insulted the tyrannical, and the gods and men were angry. The Holy Son of Heaven bent himself to make peace, but he still did not withdraw from the division, which was protracted, harboring evil intentions, and the sect and society were in danger. The king's order was to cut off the world, and the courtiers were loyal and brave, and they swore not to live with thieves. Today, the teachers of all the ways are gathered in the near auxiliary, where I am allied, do not favoritism, do not harbor differences, do not observe provocations, conspire with all efforts, and jointly secure the royal family, so as to serve the ministers. The soldiers of the three armies regard death as home, and tens of millions of people have only one heart, and they will be rewarded generously and honored in their families; If he retreats, he will be severely punished and his wife will be killed. There is this alliance between Chongqing, and the gods are killed. The Emperor Tianhou soil, Taizu Taizong, is really in view of Siyan! After Zhao Gou learned that powerful warlords such as Weng Yanguo and He Zhi had formed an alliance with Zhao Zisong, he discussed with Geng Nanzhong and other strategists, and appointed Zhao Zisong, who was most likely to obey his command, as the counselor of the Generalissimo Mansion of Baowen Pavilion and the governor of the Southeast Province.
Then, Zhao Gou wrote a letter to Zhao Zisong and others, saying that he would lead all the Song troops to fight Li Cunduel to the death, and also said that Fan Zhixu had arrived with 200,000 Western troops, and Fan Ne, Zhao Ye, and Wang Xiang were also willing to obey his command.
This is exactly what Zhao Zisong was looking forward to, so he hurriedly convened a meeting of Weng Yanguo, He Zhitong, Rong Wei and others as the leader of the alliance.
At the meeting, under Zhao Zisong's vigorous lobbying, Weng Yanguo, He Zhitong, Rong Wei and other people who built an altar with Zhao Zisong to build an altar and allied with King Qin, agreed that each family would join forces to lead an army of more than 200,000, claiming to be 500,000, to advance to the area of Wei's family, and to attack the feudal mansion, put pressure on the cadres in the southwest direction, and plan for Zhao Gou's upcoming general attack.
In this case, if Li Cun sent a large army to hunt down and kill Zhao Gou, maybe he would be stolen by the Song army of Weng Yanguo, Zhao Zisong, He Zhi, and other subordinates who were close to Chi Qi, after all, they had hundreds of thousands of troops here.
Strategically, Li Cun can despise the enemy, but tactically, Li Cun will definitely attach importance to the enemy. Besides, now that the entire south is occupied by Li Cun, it is absolutely impossible for Zhao Gou to escape to the sea as in history, as for the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, Li Cun will have to recover sooner or later, therefore, Li Cun is to let Zhao Gou and them run, where can Zhao Gou and them go?
Therefore, after learning that Zhao Gou had escaped, Li Cun made a decisive decision, appointed Zhao Li as the commander of the capital, and immediately launched a general attack on the Song army of Weng Yanguo, Zhao Zisong, He Zhi and others.
After Zhao Li received the order, he let Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing serve as the left and right vanguards, open roads in the mountains, build bridges in the water, and fight the front battle for the army.
After Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing received the order, the two met and discussed how to be a good pioneer? During the conversation, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing were very yearning for the battle when Niu Gao broke through the 200,000 Western Army.
And Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing now have 10,000 cavalry each, and their strength is much stronger than that of Niu Gao at that time. Moreover, in the impression of Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing, the Song army was not vulnerable at all.
Therefore, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing discussed, and simply outflanked them left and right, and it was over. Let's talk about Zhao Zisong, Weng Yanguo, He Zhi and the Song Army.
They didn't know that Zhao Gou ran away without saying a word. I don't even know that they were just planning to respond, but they have become the direction of the main attack of the cadres.
What's more, they didn't expect the cadres to come so quickly. They never expected that Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing would be two
"Stunned green", each with only 10,000 horses dared to launch a general attack on their army of more than 200,000 people. Of course, this is also because Zhao Zisong, Weng Yanguo, He Zhi and other commanders of the Song army are all literati scholars who do not know soldiers, and lack intuitive cognition and judgment of the battlefield.
As a result, Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing took the lead, and their tigers and wolves were like two wild dragons, and as soon as they arrived at Wei's, they immediately and directly wrangled towards the camp of the Song army, and more than 200,000 Song troops were caught off guard in an instant, and they didn't know how to face it at all.
Weng Yanguo, who was the best at running, reacted the fastest, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he quickly ordered the withdrawal of troops to Yingzhou. Because Weng Yanguo ran decisively, Weng Yanguo's Song army really escaped a lot of people.
However, it was precisely because the most powerful Weng Yanguo was the first to withdraw that the more than 200,000 Song troops became more vulnerable.
In the face of the murderous attacks of Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing, all the officers and men of the Song army chose to abandon their baggage and run wildly, and in the process, countless people were killed and injured, and they collapsed in an instant.
Seeing this, Yang Zaixing, Yao Xing and their subordinate soldiers were all extremely excited, which of them killed more people, and where they resisted.
According to statistics after the war, the Song soldiers killed by Yang Zaixing's and Yao Xing's troops in this battle company, plus the Song soldiers who were killed or injured by their own trampling, exceeded 80,000.
It is not difficult to see from the numbers alone that this is an indisputable victory, and judging from the results, Niu Gao's battle is not as good as this battle.
In the end, Yang Zaixing chased Weng Yanguo to the city of Yingzhou, so that the elderly Weng Yanguo almost died on the road.
Although he escaped his life by luck, Weng Yanguo was also chased and killed by Yang Zaixing, and he closed the city.
After Li Cun learned of this, he sent Li Gang's younger brother Li Wei to recruit him. It turned out that Weng Yanguo's daughter married Li Wei, in other words, Weng Yanguo was actually Li Wei's father-in-law and Li Gang's brother-in-law.
Because of this relationship, Li Cun deliberately transferred Li Wei from Yanjing, and had already sent Li Wei to recruit Weng Yanguo once.
Unexpectedly, last time Weng Yanguo directly rejected Li Wei's offer, and claimed that he wanted to clear up the relationship with Li Wei and his wife, and even scolded Li Gang.
Weng Yanguo's reputation in history is really not very good, he also pulled Li Gang into the water and was involved in a corruption scandal, which was difficult to get out, and it can even be said that he was one of the culprits of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty losing the Central Plains.
Historically. When the disgrace of Jingkang occurred, Weng Yanguo actively organized the troops to Qin Wang. After Zhang Bangchang established the puppet Chu regime, he recruited Weng Yanguo, an old friend, but Weng Yanguo sternly refused, scolded Zhang Bangchang, and pledged his allegiance to Zhao Gou, who had not yet been proclaimed emperor, at the first time.
Therefore, after the establishment of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, Weng Yanguo won the respect of Zhao Gou and was Zhao Gou's confidant.
After Zhao Gou succeeded to the throne, he single-mindedly fled from Bianliang City, Tokyo, a place where he had no sense of security at all, and wanted to move the capital to the Jiangnan area, so he entrusted Weng Yanguo with a heavy responsibility, appointed Weng Yanguo as the envoy of Jiangnan East Road West Road and the governor of Jiangning Mansion, and also allocated 100,000 yuan to Weng Yanguo, so that Weng Yanguo could build Jiangning Palace for him, and was ready to flee to Jiangning Mansion after finding an excuse.
But what Zhao Gou didn't expect was that after Weng Yanguo took office, he took advantage of the distance of the emperor and teamed up with the transfer judge Wu Fang, thinking that Zhao Gou was repairing the city wall and Jiangning Palace, wantonly expropriating and expropriating, embezzling bribes, and embezzling people's property.
Moreover, Weng Yanguo also sent a report to Li Gang and asked Zhao Gou to allocate another 400,000 yuan to him. At that time, Zhao Gou had already appointed Li Gang as the prime minister.
Because, Weng Yanguo performed well before, and he also had a kinship with Li Gang, Li Gang trusted Weng Yanguo very much, so he persuaded Zhao Gou, who had little money at the time, to approve the 400,000 yuan to Weng Yanguo.
Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan of the main peace faction wanted to bring down Li Gang of the main battle faction, and then go to the beautiful Jiangnan with Zhao Gou to enjoy happiness.
So, Wang Boyan and Huang Qianshan caught the evidence of Weng Yanguo's embezzlement, and told Zhao Gou about it as soon as possible.
Weng Yanguo didn't know if it was because he was ashamed of the incident, or because he was afraid of being held accountable by Zhao Gou and them, or for other reasons, anyway, not long after this incident happened, he left such a big mess and received a box lunch.
It may be because the Chinese pay attention to the importance of human death, or it may be because corruption was more common in that period, of course, it may also be that Li Gang wanted to protect Weng Yanguo, in short, Li Gang severely punished Wu Fang, but did not give any punishment to Weng Yanguo, who was already dead.
Li Gang's handling of this matter made Zhao Gou have a very big opinion of him. In addition, at that time, Zhao Gou just wanted to quickly end the war that made him extremely afraid, and he didn't want to fight it anymore, no matter what the price was, but Li Gang had been working with Zong Ze and their main battle faction to force him to fight against Jin, and even wanted him to return to Bianliang City, Tokyo to fight against Jin.
In addition, Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan and others from the Lord and faction have been persuading Zhao Gou to replace Li Gang on the sidelines. The key is that Li Gang has really handled this matter with problems.
So much so that Zhu Shengfei, who is also the main battle faction, also pointed out angrily at the critical moment: In this corruption, Weng Yanguo is the main culprit, Wu Fang is only an accomplice, and the court only pursues the accomplice, not the main culprit, which is simply unheard of!
Zhu Shengfei strongly advocated that Weng Yanguo must be severely punished, even if he died, he could not be put down gently. As a result, Zhao Gou severely punished the dead Weng Yanguo, and Li Gang also because of this incident, he only served as the prime minister for 75 days, and he capsized in the gutter and was pulled off the horse.
Since then, Li Gang's career has begun to slump, depreciating again and again, and he has completely stayed away from the court.
Li Gang was the prime minister of the main battle faction in the early Southern Song Dynasty, and he always supported Zong Ze and others to recover their homeland.
After the disgrace of Jingkang, the Jin people retreated to the Yanyun region, the Jin army completely withdrew from the south of the Yellow River, Zhang Bangchang returned the throne to the Zhao family, and the Zhao and Song dynasties still had millions of troops at that time.
If Zhao Gou and Li Gang work together, it is still impossible to say whether the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty can recover Hebei and Hedong, but there is no problem with the Jin State to divide the Yellow River and rule.
But it's because of this corruption that Weng Yanguo came up with...... Maybe this incident is just an introduction, in short, Li Gang did not have the opportunity to exert his talents because he could not get the trust of Zhao Gou, which made the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty suffer a serious blow to the great cause of resisting Jin, and since then, Zhao Gou has been bent on peace and escape, which finally made the Han dynasty completely lose the Central Plains, and also let the Han people in the Central Plains be ruled by the Hu people for more than 200 years.
Because of this history, Li Cun had a very bad impression of Weng Yanguo. Therefore, after surrendering once, and failing to surrender to Weng Yanguo, Li Cun gave up recruiting Weng Yanguo.
Now, Li Cun only used 20,000 horses to defeat the more than 200,000 Song troops of Weng Yanguo and other departments, breaking Weng Yanguo's courage.
Li Cun considered that it was now necessary to quickly pacify the war in the Central Plains, and then to destroy the remnants of the Zhao Song Dynasty such as Zhao Gou and completely complete the unification.
Weng Yanguo was not a person who was too high-spirited, and this battle also made him completely understand how vulnerable the hundreds of thousands of troops he was proud of were in front of the cadres.
The key is that through this battle, Weng Yanguo also realized that the Zhao and Song Dynasty was really over. Therefore, with the steps given to him by Li Cun, coupled with the persuasion of his son-in-law Li Wei, Weng Yanguo finally chose to surrender in Kaesong.
It is worth mentioning that Zhao Zisong, He Zhitong, Rong Wei and others did not die in this battle, they went through several tosses, and finally went to Zhao Gou's Generalissimo Mansion.
However, for Li Cun, these are all trivial matters, because after he has completely quelled the rebellion in the Central Plains, he will definitely go to recover the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, and at that time, whether it is Zhao Zisong and others, or Zhao Gou and those people, none of them will want to run.
After defeating the last Song army in the eastern part of the Central Plains, Li Cun immediately sent a large number of people such as Song Jiang and Wu Yong to recruit all the defeated troops in the Central Plains, including bandits and rebels.
Li Cun personally issued a holy decree and publicly declared: As long as these defeated soldiers, bandits, and rebels surrender, everything before will be blamed, and they will be given additional officials and knights...... In addition, Li Cun has begun to persuade the peasants and prepare to restore order in the Central Plains...... Everything seems to be developing in the direction planned by Li Cun.
It's like, it won't be long before Li Cun can complete the unification and become the first emperor of the ages comparable to the Qin Emperor, Han Wu and Tang Sect.
However, at this time, Li Gang, who was guarding the Yanyun area, suddenly sent an urgent report to Li Cun: Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang had arrived in Yanzicheng and Bei'anzhou respectively, and were currently assembling a large army, and the Jin State might be about to invade the south again.
After receiving Li Gang's urgent report, Li Cun looked to the north and muttered to himself: "You are forcing me to return Jing Kang's shame to you!" ”………… Ask for a commuter pass!
