… In that year, after the peace between the Qian-Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty, the Song army was mainly divided into three parts, either active or passive: the first part was the soldiers and horses in the eastern region of Shaanxi led by Zong Ze.

This part of the population was originally the largest, claiming to have millions in its heyday, but in fact there were three or four hundred thousand.

However, after Zong Ze's death, after Du Chong took over Zong Ze's position, this part of the people and horses were exterminated, and the Tou Daqian Dynasty was independent and independent, and its strength was far less than that of the Zong Ze period.

The second part is the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army, that is, the Western Army that the Zhao and Song dynasties have always regarded as the cornerstone. These six western armies were arranged on Yanyan Road, Huanqing Road, Qinfeng Road, Jingyuan Road, Xihe Road and Yongxing Military Road.

The third part is the original soldiers and horses of the Generalissimo of the world, that is, the soldiers and horses led by generals such as Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, including the soldiers and horses of the imperial camp led by Wang Yuan, Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other generals.

This part of the men and horses were mainly deployed in various important places in Xingyuan Mansion and Shu, as well as in Shu to quell the rebellion. It was this third part of the people who went to rescue Xingyuan Mansion.

At this time, this third part of the men and horses suffered heavy casualties, and was almost defeated by Li Yanxian, Sun Sandu and other cadres, so I will not show it for the time being.

Let's talk about this second part of the men and horses first, that is, the Shaanxi Sixth Route Western Army. After so many years of war, the Shaanxi Sixth Route Western Army, which was originally relatively balanced in strength, has now produced a big gap between strength and weakness - some have developed and grown by relying on the opportunities created by the war, and some have almost died in name only because of the war.

Let's not talk about the weak Western Army for the time being, just talk about the strongest Western Army today - the Jingyuan Army. Jingyuan Road passed through a little pacification envoy is Xi Gong.

But at this time, Jingyuan Road passed through the pacification division, and it was Qu Duan, the commander of Xi Gong's subordinates, who was really in charge of the military power. The reason why Qu Duan can become stronger and bigger is mainly because Qu Duan's brother Cookie died at the hands of Li Cun and has a big enmity with Li Cun, so Zhao Gou thinks that Qu Duan is very reliable, and then he values Qu Duan very much.

With the support of Zhao Gou, Qu Duan took advantage of the gap in the war to recruit displaced soldiers in Jingyuan, expand the army and train troops, and cultivate a strong force.

To be fair, in the jurisdiction of Quduan, the social order is stable, and all passers-by can get the supply of grain and grass for the army's rabbit fee, which makes Quduan accumulate a large amount of primitive capital, and gradually empty the intelligent Xigong.

Later, after the Qian-Song Dynasty negotiated peace and the Qian-army withdrew from Shaanxi, Qu Duan seized the opportunity to lead the army into Qinzhou.

Qu Duan was not the only one who seized that opportunity, Liu Xiliang and Wang Zeren also led their troops into Fengxiang and Chang'an, each with one side.

Soon, Liu Xiliang expelled several rebel armies from Fengxiang. Liu Xiliang had nowhere to go, so he had to take refuge in Quduan.

didn't want to, but Qu Duan killed Liu Xiliang and annexed his subordinates. At this time, Wang Zeren was also driven out of Chang'an by Guo Yan, who was newly appointed by the Yongxing military governor appointed by the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.

Qu Duan seized the opportunity and annexed Wang Zeren's subordinates. As a result, Quduan has nearly 100,000 horses and dominates Shaanxi.

In order to unify the military and political affairs of Shaanxi, the small court of the Western Song Dynasty appointed Wang Shu to control the military horses of the six routes in Shaanxi. But Wang Shu's qualifications are too shallow, it is difficult to convince the public, and the veteran Jing slightly appeased Wang Xiang, Xi Gong and others did not take Wang Shu in their eyes, did not obey Wang Shu's command, and disobeyed the yang and the yin.

Wang Shu thought to himself, he can't handle those old guys, so it's okay to win over newcomers, right? As a result, Wang Shu promoted Qu Duan as the training envoy of the Jizhou regiment and served as the capital commander of his own temperance department.

However, Qu Duan did not appreciate it and did not listen to Wang Shu's orders. In fact, the grievances between Qu Duan and Wang Shu have been going on for a long time.

At the beginning, when the cadres had not yet withdrawn from Shaanxi, Li Yanxian led several other rebel armies to accept the command of Wang Shu in order to resist the cadres.

This made Qu Duan unhappy, because Qu Duan always thought that Li Yanxian and other rebels would come to serve him, who would have thought that Li Yanxian and other rebels would actually go to serve Wang Shu.

Therefore, after the Qian-Song Dynasty negotiated peace, Qu Duan issued a proclamation, saying that the Qian-Song Dynasty had already negotiated peace, that all the cadres had crossed the river and returned to China, and that the fighting had stopped, and that there should be no delay in the agricultural season.

As a result, the people in the area around Dunyan Road were frightened and uneasy, fearing that the cadres would attack again after the autumn, so they migrated one after another, causing the huge Dunyan Road to exist in name only, and even causing the entire Shaanxi people to panic.

After Zong Ze died of hatred, Du Chong took over the defense area in the eastern part of Shaanxi, because the small court of the Western Song Dynasty did not support the anti-cadre struggle of the people in Lianghe, and the pro-Song forces in Hedong and Hebei were wiped out by the cadres and surrendered by the Daqian Dynasty, and the Daqian Dynasty no longer had any worries.

The key is that Zhao Gou made the Miao Liu mutiny again. Li Cun decisively tore up the peace treaty between the Qian-Song Dynasty and ordered Chen Hoopong, Li Yanxian and others to rebel against Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song soldiers who participated in the mutiny, and then occupied Lin'an City.

At the same time, Li Cun ordered Liu Qi to lead the 100,000 troops hastily mobilized by the Daqian Dynasty to immediately march west to attack the Song Dynasty.

Knowing that the cadres were coming again, Du Chong ordered the Song soldiers on the front line to resist on their own, and immediately led some of his men and horses to flee westward.

No, the Wu De Division, the pro-army Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department of the Daqian Dynasty had already taken advantage of Du Chong's tyranny, arrogance, lack of courage and strategy, and merit and other problems that disgusted his subordinates and turned against many of Du Chong's generals, especially the generals in the border areas.

As soon as the two sides started a war, these Song generals who had rebelled collectively rebelled, and the Song army was leaderless, as a result, the Song army collapsed without a fight, and Liu Qi effortlessly entered Tongguan, and, after a call to appease, Liu Qi's soldiers and horses suddenly increased to more than 200,000.

Liu Qi led the 200,000-strong army to march westward along Weishui and attack Chang'an. Guo Yan, the commander of the Yongxing Army, learned of this news and immediately abandoned Chang'an City and retired to Yigu.

The city of Chang'an was once again occupied by the cadre army. Seeing that the situation was urgent, Wang Shu ordered all the roads to pacify and send troops, assemble in the Yaozhou area, and form a large corps under the direct command of the Temperance Division to fight a decisive battle with the cadre army.

However, the pacification divisions of the various routes did not actively obey Wang Shu's orders, and they each sent only some people to Yaozhou.

After the Song army barely completed the assembly, Qu Duan began to threaten Wang Shu again. The contradiction between Qu Duan and Wang Shu at this time was already very deep, even to the point that it could not be resolved.

In fact, in order to solve the problem between Quduan and Wang Shu, the small court of the Western Song Dynasty appointed Wang Shu as the envoy of Shaanxi and Quduan as the envoy of the Hedong Jing system, separating the two into the country.

However, soon after, Zhao Gou gradually embarked on the path of his ancestors not allowing military generals to take power, so he listened to the advice of his subordinate officials, and issued an edict appointing Wang Shu to control the military horses of the Six Routes in Shaanxi, and appointing Qu Duan as the capital commander of Wang Shu's temperance division.

In this way, subject to Wang Shu's curvature, it is difficult to be angry. So, Qu Duan wrote a letter to Zhao Gou saying that he wanted to send a letter to Shi.

But before Zhao Gou could reply to Quduan, Zhao Gou was detained by Miao Fu, Liu Zhengyan and other Song army soldiers who participated in the mutiny.

Now, Qu Duan excused himself to submit his resignation report to the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, and it was inconvenient to command the battle, and he did not listen to Wang Shu's orders.

Wang Shu was so anxious that he had no choice, and he simply announced the dismissal of Quduan from the post of the commander of the control department. Qu Duan saw that Wang Shu was not coerced, but came to the hard, and regretted that he had lost his military power, so he had to swallow his anger and write to Wang Shu, saying that he had changed his mind and now had arrived in Yaozhou and served in front of the army.

Wang Shu had no choice but to revoke Qu Duan's dismissal. Unexpectedly, after Qu Duan regained the handle of the troops, he stationed the main force of the Temperance Division in Chunhua, and only sent the Temperance Division to control He Fanfan, Huanqing General Liu Renzhong, and Jingyuan General Kou Yu to lead part of the men and horses to the south to make a tentative attack.

In Bagongyuan, the Song army encountered the cadre army. Due to the lack of preparation for the enemy, the Song army was caught off guard and was easily defeated by the cadre army, He Fan was killed in battle, and Liu Renzhong and Kou Yu led the army back to Huanqing and Jingyuan.

When Liu Qi learned from the secret agents of the Wude Division, the pro-army Duweidu and the Military Intelligence Department that Qu Duan was at odds with Wang Shu, the main force of the Temperance Division was stationed in Chunhua, and the defense of Yanyan Road was empty, he turned around and went north to attack Yan'an Mansion again.

Wang Shu personally commanded not many troops, and he couldn't resist the fierce attack of the cadres at all, and Yan Yanlu was his foundation, so he was reluctant to give up.

Therefore, Wang Shu dispatched troops to block the cadres on the one hand, and on the other hand, he sent more than a dozen officers and Zhao Chunhua, a jinshi with a mouth like a river, to persuade Qu Duan to send troops to rescue Yan Yan.

But Qu Duan was unmoved, and the commander of 50,000 elite troops stationed in Chunhua, saying that it was useless to reinforce Yan Yan, and it was better to sweep the thieves' lair, attack what they must save and force the cadres to retreat.

So, Quduan sent his generals to lead his troops to attack Huazhou, and he himself led his troops to attack Pucheng. After Qu Duan's subordinates captured Huazhou, Qu Duan did not attack Pucheng as planned.

After this, the two led their army to meet at Xiangle. Xiangle is deep in the mountains, 500 miles away from the large army of cadres.

Since the main force of the Temperance Division commanded by Qu Duan avoided the front and left the battlefield, Liu Qi had even more scruples.

Soon, under the command of Liu Qi, Yan'an Mansion was captured by the cadre army. After the cadres captured Yan'an, Liu Qi did not rush to the west again, but ordered the army to reorganize a little, recuperate, reorganize and surrender the army, look for fighters, and prepare for another battle.

Under Liu Qi's instructions, Liu Qi personally led the troops to garrison Yan'an, the deputy commander-in-chief of this battle, Zhe Keqiu, led the troops to Suide, and the general Wang Yan led the troops to Pucheng.

In this way, the Yanyan Road was completely occupied by the Qianjun army, while the Yongxing Military Road was controlled by the Qian-Song and Song sides, and the rest of the Shaanxi Fourth Road was still controlled by the Song army.

After Li Cun learned of this, he appointed Liu Ziyu, who was both civil and military, as the prefect of Yanyan Road, and Tang Chong, who was also both civil and military, as the prefect of Yongxing Military Road, so that the two could pacify the people of the two roads as soon as possible and restore farming and production on the two roads.

On the other side, as soon as the war was temporarily extinguished, Qu Duan bombarded Wang Shu by force and drove away the former Hedong Economic Envoy and Zhifengxiang Mansion.

Then, Qu Duan himself led his troops to attack the rebel army led by Zhang Zong, who was active in the Chang'an area, and annexed several other groups of rebels of considerable size.

By Ganqu Duan unscrupulously expanding his own power, the Jingyuan Army, which was already much stronger than the other five routes army in Shaanxi, naturally stood even more majestic above the Song army of Shaanxi Zhulu.

To paraphrase a sentence at this time, the praise of Qu Duan is: "There is literature and martial arts, and Qu is great." Zhang Jun, who was defeated by Li Yanxian, although he was extremely worried about Zhao Gou's safety, but Zhang Jun knew very well that if the cadres broke through Shaanxi and came to Xingyuan Mansion, then the Zhao and Song dynasties would come to an end, and Zhang Jun believed that Shaanxi's strategic position was very important, according to the people of the time: "Zhongxing should be governed by Shaanxi."

Shaanxi's strategic position is indeed important. It is not only an important military source base for the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, but also can directly threaten the Hedong and Central Plains regions, the key, if the small court of the Western Song Dynasty loses Shaanxi again, then the small court of the Western Song Dynasty will only be left with a small piece of Shu, even if it is not destroyed by the Great Qian Dynasty, it will be trapped and killed in Shu, and never want to regain the lost land

"Great Song". Therefore, Zhang Jun entrusted the rescue of Zhao Gou to Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi, and he himself went to Fuping, preparing to lead the Shaanxi Sixth Route Army to defeat the Song army led by Liu Qi.

Soon after, Zhang Jun came to Fuping with Zhao Gou's edict, and then gathered all the generals of Shaanxi in the name of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty, hoping to organize a decisive battle to defeat the Song army led by Liu Qi in one fell swoop.

Du Chong, who also fled to Fuping, also participated in this meeting, at which he went against public opinion, believing that the existing five-way route in Shaanxi was not unified in command and the relationship between the soldiers was not harmonious, and it was not suitable to hold a decisive battle.

If the Armageddon is barely held, if there are some disadvantages, all five will be lost. It is better to temporarily station in Li, Lang, Xing, and Yangzhou and strengthen Sichuan's defense in order to stabilize the foundation.

If the cadres come to fight. Then the soldiers of the five roads came to help. In this way, even if you don't win, you won't be defeated.

Du Chong has a lot of problems, but to be fair, what Du Chong said this time is good. But Du Chong abandoned the eastern region of Shaanxi, causing Tongguan and other dangerous places to be self-defeating, and also made the original Song army of only 100,000 more than doubled at once, and its reputation can be said to have plummeted.

Zhang Junxin is sharp, ambitious and talented, how can he listen to Du Chong's advice from the general wine bag and rice bag?

Du Chong also sensed Zhang Jun's dissatisfaction with him, so Du Chong took the initiative to ask to go to Lizhou Road to resist the cadres, but was rejected by Zhang Jun, who wanted Du Chong's nearly 100,000 troops.

Zhang Jun is ready to use a decisive battle to defeat the cadres and turn the tide, although it is a little naïve, but to be honest, this is not without reason at all.

Be. Lin'an City, which was controlled by the Great Qian Dynasty, was like a nail nailed to the heart of the Western Song Dynasty.

But as long as the Song army led by Liu Qi is repulsed, the isolated Lin'an City will be attacked by the Song army sooner or later.

Therefore, in Zhang Jun's view, as long as he can defeat the Song army led by Liu Qi, all problems can be solved, and he will also be a great hero for the rebuilding of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Of course, this will certainly not be easy to achieve, after all, the cadres are good at fighting, and now there are still more than 100,000 rebels who have no discipline to help in the war.

But Zhang Jun is not such an easy person to give up. In order to achieve the goal of deciding the outcome of the First World War, Zhang Jun felt that he had to gather all the soldiers and horses in Shaanxi.

Therefore, Zhang Jun not only detained the soldiers and horses in Du Chong's hands, but also hit Qu Duan, who has the most troops in Shaanxi today.

Based on this purpose, soon after Zhang Jun arrived in Qinzhou, he undertook to build an altar to worship the generals, and appointed Qu Duan as a mighty general, an observer of Xuanzhou, and a Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu disposal envoy to control the division and know Weizhou.

Moreover, Zhang Jun had a great favor to Qu Duan. At the beginning, Qu Duan unscrupulously expanded, and even the Song generals on the roster killed and annexed the soldiers and horses in his hands, the small court of the Western Song Dynasty was very shocked, and even suspected that Qu Duan had the intention of rebellion, so he appointed Qu Duan as the promoter of the imperial envoy, and wanted to use this as an excuse to transfer Qu Duan to Shu.

Qu Duan was naturally reluctant and did not dare to leave Shaanxi. In this way, the situation was even worse, and the ministers of the small court of the Western Song Dynasty discussed one after another, saying that Qu Duan would be the opposite, and shouted that Qu Duan must be killed.

Zhao Gou did not support Qu Duan as vigorously as he did earlier, and Zhao Gou, who embarked on the line of emphasizing literature and suppressing martial arts, also became suspicious of Qu Duan's unscrupulous expansion.

Only Zhang Jun was very calm in this matter, and he even guaranteed the lives of hundreds of people in his family to guarantee that Qu Duan would not rebel against the small court of the Western Song Dynasty.

For this reason, the small court of the Western Song Dynasty revoked the order of the tune to go to Shudi. Qu Duan was very grateful to Zhang Jun for this.

After Zhang Jun opened the government in Qinzhou, he regarded Quduan as the main military pillar, and Quduan also changed the problem of being difficult to control, actively supported Zhang Jun, and obeyed Zhang Jun's command.

It was precisely because of the support of the powerful Qu Duan that Zhang Jun was able to change the chaotic state of the Song army in Shaanxi in a very short period of time, in which they had mutual hatred and refusal to support each other, and began unified command in Shaanxi.

The decisive battle between the two countries of the Qian-Song Dynasty also had a foundation.................. Ask for a commuter pass!
