Chapter 315: Li Cun: Ban Liu Qi and Li Yanxian (Ask for a monthly pass!) )

Liu Qi and Li Yanxian are actually not alone.

At this time, there were soldiers and civilians in all parts of Shaanxi in response to the call of the Junyan Road Jinglu Pacification Division, and spontaneously raised troops to resist the entry of the cadres into Shaanxi.

Several rebel armies led by Meng Di, Chong Qian, Zhang Mian, Zhang Jian, Bai Bao, and Li Jin all had strong military strength.

Of course, the most powerful of them is the rebel army led by Li Yanxian.

Li Yanxian, who had a great sense of the overall situation, took advantage of the emptiness of the cadres stationed in Shaanzhou to send troops to recover Shaanzhou in one fell swoop, and then took the initiative to send Dang Song to set up a place of governance in Xiazhai, 30 miles away from Tongzhou City, to cooperate with the military operation of the Yanyan Road Jinglu Pacification Division to recover Tongzhou.

Tongzhou is located on the north bank of Weishui, east of Chang'an.

Due to the narrow terrain on the south bank of Weishui, it was not easy to deploy heavy troops, so Tongzhou became an important town for attacking Chang'an or defending Chang'an.

Not only that, Tongzhou is also an important support point for the defense system of Tongguan and Pujin Pass.

The Song army attacked Tongzhou with all its might, cutting off the communication between the cadres in Chang'an and the cadres in Tongguan and Pujin Pass.

And Li Yanxian's occupation of Shaanzhou also cut off the direct communication between the Shaanxi cadres and the Henan cadres.

Therefore, when Wu Jue, the commander of the Shaanxi cadre army, heard that Shaanzhou had been recaptured by the Song army, and Tongzhou was also seriously threatened by the Song army, and that his own back road might be cut off, he did not dare to attack Xizhou again, and hurriedly led the army to retreat eastward.

Zhang Shen was originally a slight envoy of the Yan Road.

At the beginning, after Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi went to Zhao Gou together, Zhao Gou firmly grasped Shaanxi in the hands of the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty, and under the recommendation of Zong Ze, appointed Wang Shu, who was loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties, to replace Zhang Shen as the pacification envoy of the Yanyan Road, and later reappointed Zhang Shen as the pacification envoy of the Xihe Road, and first firmly grasped the western army of these two roads.

After Liu Qi stopped the attack of the cadres and Li Yanxian and other militiamen cut off the rear route of the cadres, Zhang Shen sent the Song generals Zhang Yan and Liu Weifu to lead the army to cover the retreating cadres and troops.

However, Liu Weifu was unwilling to accept Zhang Yan's command, and led the army from Wushan to Baoji to attack the Qianjun rangers.

As soon as Liu Weifu left, Zhang Yan's troops were weakened, and he ventured into light enemies, so he was ambushed by the cadres in Wulipo near Fengxiang and was defeated, and Zhang Yan himself was also killed in Wulipo.

After the defeat of Zhang Yan, Wu Jue changed his mind, no longer in a hurry to attack Tongzhou and Shaanzhou, and open up the channel with Hedong and Henan, but garrisoned Fengxiang Mansion, and sent a cadre army to the north, wanting to find fighters to attack the main force of the Song army.

It must be said that the Song army did achieve some partial victories on some battlefields at this time.

On the whole, however, it is still the cadres who have an absolute advantage.

In the process of Zhao Gou's escape all the way west, the cadre army was actually rapidly moving westward.

In order to accomplish the strategic goals set by Li Cun for them, that is, to capture Zhao Gou, eliminate the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, and recover the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, under the command of Wu Jue, the cadre army almost broke through Shaanxi.

The reason why the cadres attacked so quickly was not only because of the strong attack power of the cadres, but also because most of the officials and generals of the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty surrendered without a fight, and everywhere the cadres went, the city gates were basically wide open, and the officials and generals of the small imperial court of the Western Song Dynasty either knelt on the ground with the letter of surrender and begged for mercy, or they had already run away and did not know where to go.

Seeing this situation, Wu Jue sent his subordinate general Yang Congyi to lead 3,000 light cavalry all the way west, biting Zhao Gou to chase and kill.

Yang Congyi led the troops to fight, and was good at running, infiltrating, and guerrilla, which was especially suitable for the task of pursuing Zhao Gou.

After Yang Congyi arrived in Chang'an, he learned that Zhao Gou had just run away, so he immediately led his troops to pursue Zhao Gou in the direction of his escape.

In this process, Yang Congyi almost caught up with Zhao Gou several times.

In the face of Yang Congyi's desperate pursuit, Zhao Gou gave full play to the escape skills of his ancestor car god, ran all the way west, and lived a life of escape from east to west and upside down.

The local officials and soldiers of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, in the face of the iron cavalry of the cadre army, either surrendered or fled, and the entire small court of the Western Song Dynasty appeared very weak and incompetent.

Of course there is, and not a few.

In fact, there were many people who were still loyal to the Zhao and Song dynasties who rose up to resist the attack of the Qianjun.

And the most typical of them are not big people like Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, who are destined to be extraordinary, but some inconspicuous little people.

Like what:

Zhao Xu, the general of the cadre army, led the crowd to Huazhou City.

The Song garrison surrendered without resistance, and Zhao Hui then led more than 1,000 cadres and soldiers into the city.

But as soon as the officers and soldiers of the cadre army entered the city, there was a soldier in the Song army who was waiting to be surrendered, and suddenly picked up a stone from the ground and threw it at the cadre army.

The soldiers of the Song army did not hit the soldiers of the cadres this time, and they were caught by the soldiers of the cadres and soldiers in front of Zhao Xu.

Zhao Hui felt very strange, so he asked the Song army soldiers: "Your lords and generals have all surrendered, you are just a small soldier, why do you still risk death to resist?" ”

The Song army replied sternly: "Although a certain soldier is a small soldier, but he still knows loyalty, I was born as a Song minister, and I died as a Song ghost, even if I die, it is difficult to change a certain will!" ”

Zhao Yu listened to the words of the Song soldiers, and said to the Song generals who surrendered next to him: "You are a city general, and your integrity is not as good as that of your sergeants." ”

After listening to this, this Song general was ashamed.

The soldiers of the Song army turned to their chief general and said: "A certain month, you still know that you repay the country with death, you have received the emperor's favor in the world, and enjoy the high officials, but now the Qianjun is advancing westward, but you only know that Kaicheng surrendered, you are so disloyal and unjust, what face will you have to see your ancestors and ancestors under Jiuquan in a hundred years?" ”

The words of the Song army's soldiers made this Song general so ashamed that he wanted to find a crack in the ground to get into.

Zhao Hui lamented that this Song army soldier was a righteous soldier, asked him if he was willing to surrender to the Daqian Dynasty, and said that he would protect him as a loyal warrior.

But the Song army soldier said: "I'd rather die than surrender!" ”

This is not an isolated case.

The reason for this is that the Zhao and Song Dynasty is a dynasty that has existed for nearly 200 years after all, how can there be no people loyal to it?

Be.

In the impression of many people, most of the Zhao and Song dynasties were some negative images such as cruelty to loyalty, loss of power and humiliation of the country.

But there are two sides to everything.

The Zhao and Song dynasties were cowardly, weak, heavy on literature and suppressed martial arts, had many problems, and were inferior to the Han and Tang dynasties in many aspects.

But—

It is undeniable that the Zhao and Song dynasties have indeed made achievements in many aspects, and it is not the kind of undesirable that many people imagine.

First of all, from the perspective of economic conditions, the economy of the Zhao and Song dynasties was very prosperous.

It is fair to say that during the Zhao and Song dynasties, not only the agricultural civilization was further developed, but also the development of industry and commerce was relatively rapid.

——Not only vigorously developing maritime foreign trade, but also having morning and evening markets within the Zhao and Song dynasties to promote trade and trade. In terms of coins, the Zhao and Song dynasties also had banknotes such as Jiaozi and Qian Yin that circulated in the market.

It is not difficult to see from this that compared with the previous dynasties, the material civilization of the Zhao and Song dynasties has developed to a higher stage.

If we look at it from the perspective of the world during this period, the economic level of the Zhao and Song dynasties occupies the absolute highest position on the world stage, and even the United States in later generations has to look up to it.

Secondly, from the perspective of political atmosphere, the internal political system and external policies of the Zhao and Song dynasties can show that the Zhao and Song dynasties were very politically enlightened.

Before Song Liao signed the Tanyuan Alliance, Prime Minister Kou Zhun forced Emperor Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng to come to the battlefield in person.

Before the two sides fought, Zhao Heng was shy away from the war, but Kou Zhun insisted on pulling Zhao Heng up to the city tower to cheer for the soldiers of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Also, when negotiating with foreign clans, the content of compensation can be decided by the relevant ministers, not by Zhao Heng, the emperor alone.

From this, it can be seen that the politics of the Zhao and Song dynasties were still very enlightened, even if the emperor was sitting on the throne, he would be restrained by the ministers, and even forced by the ministers to go to the battlefield in person.

The decisions made in many aspects of the Zhao and Song dynasties were also the result of joint discussions between the monarch and the ministers, rather than the emperor alone.

From the political point of view of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the status of the ministers was very high.

That is, the ministers had a higher restriction on the emperor.

In this regard, Li Cun's arbitrary and arbitrary Daqian Dynasty was far inferior to the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Undoubtedly, many literati preferred the Zhao and Song dynasties, in which they could play a more important role, to the highly powerful Daqian dynasty.

In addition, from the perspective of cultural development, the cultural situation of the Zhao and Song dynasties was also very prosperous.

The policy implemented by the Zhao and Song dynasties was to worship literature and suppress martial arts, and it also showed that the punishment was not enough for doctors.

This can undoubtedly make the culture of the Zhao and Song dynasties develop to a high degree, and the status of literati has also been promoted to the highest level in history.

And the literati, you know, have no discipline at all.

Since the Zhao and Song dynasties "threw themselves into the peach", the literati naturally had to "repay the favor with li" and trumpeted the Zhao and Song dynasties.

And this is not the era when everyone is literate and everyone can surf the Internet, many people in remote areas, they don't know what's going on outside, all they know is the loyalty and patriotism instilled in them by those selfish literati.

Therefore, many people, especially those who are not in the areas controlled by the Daqian Dynasty now, do not know what the sudden rise of the Daqian Dynasty is all about, they believe that the small court of the Western Song Dynasty and the literati close to the Zhao Song Dynasty propagated that Li Cun is a traitor, and now he has stolen the great treasure of the Zhao Song Dynasty, captured the two emperors of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, caused chaos in the harem of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and killed the new emperor of the Zhao Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou.

Therefore, many loyal people who do not know what is going on choose to help Zhao Gou, who is full of sadness, to restore the country, and choose to help Zhao Gou rescue the so-called two saints.

In addition, some people, under the propaganda and exaggeration of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty and the literati close to the Zhao and Song dynasties, wanted to defend their hometowns.

In addition, although there are many good things about the Daqian Dynasty, it is undeniable that for those vested interests of the Zhao and Song dynasties, that is, those who are wealthy and noble, the Daqian Dynasty is bound to seize the land in their hands, and these people will definitely fool those innocent people and loyal people to resist the Daqian Dynasty.

Therefore, although in the eyes of those who know the Great Qian Dynasty, the behavior of these people who resisted the completion of the Great Unification of the Great Qian Dynasty is similar to that of fools, in the eyes of these "fools", they themselves are heroes who defend their homes and defend the country.

In fact, there is no right or wrong in this kind of thing, there are just misunderstandings and labor pains that have to happen.

And for such "fools", there is actually no need to worry about them, because time will prove to them who is the clown.

When Li Cun slaughtered foreigners, he never had a soft hand, but for his compatriots, Li Cun always felt that there was no need to raise the butcher's knife when it was necessary.

Li Cun's ideas have already been transmitted to every corner of the cadres through the military supervision system that spreads throughout the cadre army.

This was strongly supported by the officers and men of the cadres and soldiers, who felt that they were fighting for justice, which greatly boosted the fighting morale of the cadres and soldiers, and at the same time made many righteous soldiers compete to follow suit.

Therefore, although this Song army soldier was stubborn, Zhao Yu did not kill him.

However, Zhao Hui did not let go of this Song army soldier easily, but imprisoned him in a labor camp and slowly reformed him politically.

-- Releasing such a person may hinder the next actions of the cadres, so it is better to detain them for the time being.

Actually-

The Daqian Dynasty, from Li Cun onwards, was all very confident, and they were all sure that an emperor like Zhao Gou, who could only escape, would be abandoned by all the Han people sooner or later.

Absolute.

You must know that this is not history, the Han people really have no choice, so they can only pinch their noses and choose Zhao Gou, who is more or less loyal than Liu Yu, who is bent on searching for the Han people to please the Jin people.

There is Li Cun, a wise and martial Han emperor, and after people see the gap between the two, they will definitely abandon the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.

Therefore, from top to bottom, the cadres and troops are trying their best to avoid unnecessary killings among their compatriots.

This is because the cadres and the army, from top to bottom, know very well that these people will all be their compatriots and even comrades-in-arms in the future.

From top to bottom, the cadres have always been convinced of this.

In other words, Zhao Gou looks like a bear, isn't he worried that he will be abandoned by the people?

To say that you are not worried must be false.

But Zhao Gou also has his own set of theories, he said: Things like defending the capital and defending Sheji should be done by the princes, not by the Son of Heaven.

Zhao Gou believes that in the past, the princes of the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period were small, and there were foreign enemies to invade, and those princes had no place to run, so they could only defend the city. However, he is now the Son of Heaven, and the country is vast, and he can go to other places to regroup and make a comeback, so he must not do that kind of stupid thing to defend the country.

Zhao Gou also found an argument for himself, saying that the courtiers all persuaded my father and brother to defend Bianliang City in Tokyo, but in the Battle of Jingkang, my father and brother were arrested at the same time, and if they escaped at that time, wouldn't it be fine?

Zhao Gou came to the conclusion from this that he absolutely couldn't do the stupid thing of resisting, that is, he had to run away.

With this theory of escape, it is logical for Zhao Gou to escape.

Slowly, Zhao Gou, who once practiced martial arts to "pull the bow to five buckets with one stone" and reached the level of sacrificing his life in martial arts, completely became a coward, and even had to rely on women to protect him.

Wu was originally just an ordinary maid of Zhao Gou.

When Zhao Gou fled from Chang'an, Wu happened to run into him.

Seeing that Zhao Gou, who was carrying a few guards, was about to get on his horse and escape, Wu also turned over and got on a war horse with agility.

Seeing this scene, Zhao Gou was also a little surprised, but it was important to escape, and besides, there was a palace maid who followed him and could take care of his food, lodging, drink, and residence, so Zhao Gou didn't say anything.

When Zhao Gou and his party ran to the bank of the Wenshui River, when they were driving a small boat and preparing to cross the river, the rebels suddenly rushed to the shore and wanted to rob their boat.

At that time, the guards around Zhao Gou had run out, and there were only a few internal servants left, and they couldn't stop the rebels at all.

Just as the rebels were about to rush onto the boat, Wu stepped forward and shot three rebels with a bow and arrows.

Wu then said to the rebels: "Zhouzhong is your majesty today, do you dare to offend Long Wei?!" ”

In this way, the rebels were shocked at once, and they all thought to themselves, even the women are so powerful, and the emperor Zhao Gou must have a master around him to protect them.

Therefore, these rebels immediately knelt down and shouted long live, saying that they were willing to protect the emperor.

At this time, Zhao Gou, who was already trembling with fright, looked at the little palace maid who had followed him all the way.

I saw Wu, who was tall, with a delicate face, beautiful facial features, and full of heroic posture between her eyebrows, what a heroine!

At this moment, Zhao Gou couldn't help falling in love with the Wu family, and developed a deep sense of dependence on the Wu family.

After that, Wu became Zhao Gou's personal bodyguard, just like Liang Hongyu, Yan Zhengu, and Yizhang Qingyu Li Cun.

Even, Zhao Gou couldn't sleep at night because he was overly frightened, and Zhao Gou could only sleep if the Wu clan fought with a sword and guarded Zhao Gou with a bow and arrow on his back.

And Wu is the queen of the gate, and he is very courageous. In order to protect Zhao Gou, Wu has always been dressed in military uniform, wearing swords, bows and arrows, and protecting Zhao Gou all the time.

In fact, no matter how heroic Wu is, in terms of martial arts, she can't compare with Zhao Gou, who has practiced martial arts since childhood and is good at riding and archery.

However, Zhao Gou, who was originally both civil and military, brave and knowledgeable, was so frightened that he could only run away when he encountered the alarm.

Not only that, but I don't know if it was because he was frightened too much, Zhao Gou couldn't do it.

- Wu is so important to Zhao Gou, and deeply moved Zhao Gou, and when Zhao Gou is finally safe, of course he wants to include Wu in the room, so he let Wu come to sleep, but looking at the extremely attractive Wu, Zhao Gou can't raise the slightest interest, and finally can only helplessly let Wu leave.

Zhao Gou thought that he might be too tired, maybe he would be better after a few days of rest.

So Zhao Gou didn't pay much attention to this.

Of course, this is mainly because the situation is so bad, and Zhao Gou can't focus on such a trivial matter.

After finally escaping Yang Congyi's pursuit, Zhao Gou didn't care about some small victories won by Liu Qi, Li Yanxian and other Song generals, and he begged Li Cun for mercy again and again, hoping that Li Cun could let him go for the sake of his mother Wei's face and give him a way to live.

It can be described as shameless.

Li Cun had already received the battle report from the front, that is, Liu Qi, Li Yanxian and other Song generals had blocked the great offensive of the cadre army.

In this regard, Li Cun was not angry, only sighed leisurely!

It's gold that always shines.

Liu Qi is a famous general who has a fight with Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and Wu Jue.

And Li Yanxian was also a ruthless man who defeated Wanyan Lou, the first general of the Jin Kingdom, when the Song army was at a great disadvantage.

It is impossible to exaggerate what kind of victory such two generals have achieved.

As for the superiority in weapons.

This will certainly weaken as the war progresses.

After all, no one is going to be able to change and improve all the time.

This is actually one of the reasons why Li Cun has not come up with more advanced weapons.

Just when Li Cun was thinking about how to solve Liu Qi and Li Yanxian, Zhao Gou's letter of peace was sent over again.

After reading Zhao Gou's flattering peace letter, the corners of Li Cun's mouth curled slightly.

When playing League of Legends, if you meet a particularly powerful hero on the other side, what is the best choice?

A: Of course it is...... banned......
