…

Zhang Jun originally planned to rely on Qu Duan militarily, but after in-depth contact, Zhang Jun, who was stubborn and self-serving, became extremely disgusted with Qu Duan, who was accustomed to committing crimes and arrogant talents.

More importantly, Zhang Jun wanted to organize a decisive battle with the cadres in Shaanxi to decide the outcome of the battle.

However, most of the generals of the Song army in Shaanxi did not agree with Zhang Jun's proposition, especially Qu Duan.

Zhang Jun convened a military meeting to solicit the opinions of the generals on the Armageddon.

Qu Duan, who has the strongest military strength, made a speech: "The plains and wilderness are conducive to the Ma army, our army is far inferior to the cadre army in the Ma army, and the cadre army has recently won consecutive battles and is full of vigor, and it is difficult for our army to compete with it. Therefore, our army should be strong and stubbornly defend according to the dangers of mountains and rivers. Ten years later, we will be able to talk about the decisive battle."

Qu Duan was worried that Zhang Jun did not understand military affairs, and then explained in detail: "The high mountains and valleys are conducive to our army's deployment and fortification. Although the enemy army was brave and had heavy armor and iron cavalry, they could not charge in the mountains. Our army relies on the danger of Saga to hold the place of Guanfu, even if the enemy army is heavily attacked, if we want to fight for this land, it will be very difficult!"

The "Guanfu" mentioned by Quduan is the Guanzhong Plain, which is often referred to as the "Eight Hundred Miles of Qinchuan".

The 800-mile Qinchuan River is bordered by the Yellow River in the east, the Qinling Mountains in the south, and the Beishan mountain system composed of Liangshan, Huanglongshan, Yaoshan, Sagashan, Jiuzhi Mountain, Qishan, Qianshan, and Longshan in the north.

The "Saga" mentioned by Quduan does not refer specifically to Mt. Saga, but to the Kitayama mountain range in general.

The cavalry of the Song army was far inferior to the dry army that had recovered the Yanyun area.

Fighting on the narrow Guanzhong Plain, it was indeed difficult for the Song army to compete with the iron cavalry of the cadre army.

However, as long as the Song army held the Beishan and had a geographical advantage, it could completely control the Guanzhong Plain condescendingly.

As a matter of fact, the cadres did not dare to stay for a long time when they captured Chang'an several times, because they were worried that the Song army would cut off the rear route of the cadres from Beishan to the south or divide and encircle the cadres at any time and anywhere.

Therefore, Quduan's opinion of "relying on the danger of Saga and holding the place of Guanfu" is actually very insightful.

However, most of Zhang's civilian aides felt that Qu Duan's opinion was too slow or too cowardly.

Zhang Jun said even more sharply, "Don't I know this? However, now that the thieves have already captured His Majesty, and sent a large army to fight, if we do not win the battle as soon as possible, the leaderless trend of our Great Song Dynasty will spread, and the country will not be a country at that time, so we have to hold a decisive battle!"

Although Zhang Jun said the truth, in the eyes of most generals such as Qu Duan, it was not the time for a decisive battle with the strong cadres at all, so most of the generals responded to Zhang Jun's idea of a decisive battle with silence.

As a result, the military meeting broke up unhappily.

After the meeting, Zhang Jun separately found the opposing generals, reiterating his intention to hold a decisive battle, he said: "Although Lin'an City is occupied by thieves, Your Majesty is also caught by thieves, although this is dangerous, but Lin'an City is in the hinterland of our Great Song Dynasty, if there is no reinforcement to Xingyuan Mansion, it will open the city and surrender sooner or later, so I have to hold a decisive battle, as long as the main force of the cadres is repulsed, the thieves in Lin'an City will not attack themselves, this is the only opportunity for my Great Song Dynasty, if we don't seize it, then we will become sinners of the Great Song Dynasty!"

Some generals did not dare to force Zhang Jun's opinion, so they could only persuade euphemistically: "Shaanxi Shima is withering, and it is not possible to make a big move in five years."

However, Zhang Jun was still stubborn and retorted: "Do not stick to everything, once the main force of the cadre army is called to Xingyuan Mansion, Your Majesty will be in danger, and the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger, and if you take a step back, as long as the cadre army does not retreat in Shaanxi for a day, the thieves in Lin'an City will have hope, and they will definitely coerce Your Majesty to protect themselves, and if this continues, our Great Song Dynasty will collapse without a leader without a leader."

It has to be said that, theoretically speaking, Zhang Jun's proposition is not wrong.

Therefore, the matter of holding a decisive battle in Shaanxi was decided by Zhang Jun alone.

But Qu Duan always insisted on his own opinion, no matter what Zhang Jun said to Qu Duan, Qu Duan firmly believed that the decisive battle could not be held now.

Seeing that Qu Duan was stubborn, Zhang Jun forced Qu Duan to hand over his military power, and then left Qu Duan in the Xuanfu Division as a staff officer.

Although the other generals did not approve of holding a decisive battle in their hearts, because Zhang Jun was determined to hold a decisive battle,

and dealt with the most fierce opposition of Qu Duan to make an example, and the other generals no longer objected on the surface, and stood on Zhang Jun's side against their will, and won Zhang Jun's appreciation and trust with absolute obedience.

After some days, some people slandered Zhang Junjin, saying that Qu Duan was dissatisfied with Zhang Jun's treatment, and predicted that Zhang Jun would be defeated, and concluded that Zhang Jun would be a sinner for the ages of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

This aroused Zhang Jun's suspicions.

As a result, Zhang Jun liquidated Qu Duan's killing of his colleagues and annexed the expansion of his colleagues' troops, demoted Qu Duan, and placed him in Jiezhou to live idle.

Soon, Zhang Jun was demoted to Qu Duan as the deputy envoy of the Haizhou regiment and placed Wanzhou to live idle.

Zhang Zhongfu and Li Yanqi were also punished at the same time because they were Qu Duan's henchmen - they were demoted to Weizhou guards.

After purging the high-ranking officers of the Jingyuan Army, Zhang Jun appointed his henchmen with full authority to command the Jingyuan Army.

Qu Duan has been running the Jingyuan Army for many years, and his roots are very deep, and it is impossible for Zhang Jun's henchmen to really establish their prestige in the Jingyuan Army in the short term.

Zhang Jun planned to hold a decisive battle in the near future, but he changed generals on the spot, and it cannot but be said that he committed the same taboo as Tan Zhi at the beginning.

At this time, knowing that Zhang Jun wanted a decisive battle, Liu Qi deliberately cooperated with Zhang Jun in Shaanxi to transfer troops and generals to capture Yan'an Mansion and the Security Army in northern Shaanxi, and most of the cadres and troops led according to Zhang Jun's wishes were forced to retreat to the eastern part of the narrow Guanzhong Plain.

Zhang Jun, who had won several small victories one after another, was more confident in defeating the cadres in one fell swoop, and then deployed troops in a more intensive manner to prepare for the decisive battle.

Under the unremitting efforts of Zhang Jun, who had Zhao Gouyi's edict, the Song army of the Fifth Route of Shaanxi was assembled in the Fuping area under the command of Yongxing Shuai Zhang Dian, Huanqing Shuai Zhao Zhe, Xihe Shuai Liu Xi, Qin Fengshuai Sun Shu, and Jingyuan Marshal Xi Gong, according to Zhang Jun's orders.

This situation was very much in line with Liu Qi's intention to solve the main force of the Song army in one fell swoop through a decisive battle.

——The terrain here in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region is mostly easy to defend and difficult to attack, if it is fought little by little, the Great Qian Dynasty may not say how long it will take to destroy the Western Song Dynasty, in case the two countries of Jin and Xia send troops to surround Wei and rescue Zhao again, then this opportunity to destroy the Western Song Dynasty may be wasted, and if Liu Qi can defeat the main force of the Song army in one fell swoop, it will greatly shorten the process of destroying the Western Song Dynasty, if it is smooth enough, even without waiting for the two countries of Jin and Xia to send troops, Liu Qi can destroy the Western Army, the key, as far as the current situation is concerned, although the number of cadres is not as good as the Song army, But the comprehensive strength should be above the Song army.

Yes, Liu Qi dispatched troops and prepared for the final decisive battle with the Song army.

The speed of the mobilization of the cadres was very fast, and even before the mobilization of the Song army, the cadres had already mobilized 200,000 troops to garrison the Luoshui and Xiatai places.

Here, Zhang Jun made another major mistake that Tan Zhi had made.

At this time, the cadres had already assembled.

However, because the terrain occupied by the cadres was not good, the cadres were divided into two major parts.

At this time, Zhang Jun, who was in charge of the battle in Pizhou, had already formed a huge corps with more than 400,000 people (including nearly 100,000 cavalry), unprecedented in the history of the Song-Qian War.

——This is the last battle that decided the life and death of the Western Song Dynasty, so under the mobilization of Zhang Jun, in addition to the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses led by Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and other generals who are still guarding Lin'an City, almost all the soldiers and horses in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region have been gathered here in Fuping.

The Song Dynasty had the momentum of breaking the cauldron and sinking the boat.

In addition, the logistics materials are sufficient, and the transportation is also fully guaranteed.

This fostered Zhang Jun's feelings of contempt for the enemy.

Zhang Jun appointed his confidant Liu Xi as the commander of the capital and ordered a decisive battle with the Qianjun army at Fuping.

But since Zhang Jun was determined to fight a decisive battle with the cadres, he lost the plane like Tan Zhi.

To be sure, even the strength of the Song army, which had not been gathered, far exceeded the total strength of the cadre army in Shaanxi.

If Zhang Jun decisively attacked any part of the cadre army, it would be possible to first defeat a large part of the main force of the cadre army with the overwhelming momentum of Mount Tai, and then go to a decisive battle with the other large part of the cadre army, and the probability of victory would certainly be greatly increased.

The generals of the Song army also suggested to Zhang Jun, benefit

Taking advantage of the favorable terrain along the Weishui coast and taking advantage of the fact that the cadres have not yet completed reunification, they should immediately launch an offensive and first defeat half of the main force of the cadres army.

However, Zhang Jun pretended to be serious and rejected this correct suggestion.

At this point, it is not an exaggeration to say that Zhang Jun is a stupid pig and has copied Tan Zhen's failed path.

This may be the inevitable common problem of sour literati as commanders-in-chief.

In a nutshell.

According to Zhang Jun's deployment, the Song army gathered in Fuping and put on a posture to fight a grand array.

Fuping is located at the foot of Beishan Mountain, located in the northern edge of the middle section of the Guanzhong Plain, the terrain is flat, easy to attack and difficult to defend.

But as long as they retreated a few dozen miles north or west from Fuping, the Song army could be in battle against the mountains.

Some Song generals, after seeing the terrain, objected to the formation of troops at Fuping, saying, "Soldiers are used to move. Now that the terrain is unfavorable, how to fight? They should move to higher ground and set up positions to contain the charge of the enemy horsemen."

However, there were also many Song generals who objected, believing that there was a swamp with autumn reeds in front of the Song army, which was enough to limit the impact force of the enemy cavalry.

Zhang Jun chose one of the two, and finally chose to fight the decisive battle in Fuping, which he was more familiar with.

Due to Zhang Jun's constant tricks and stubbornness, the 200,000 cadres under the command of Liu Qi came to Fuping without any danger and made a full rest, and then took the initiative to attack the Song army.

, he personally attacked the formation, and he was extremely brave.

After rushing into the camp of the Song army, Yang Zaixing had already been hit by three arrows, but he didn't seem to know it, and after rushing left and right to kill for an unknown amount of time, Yang Zaixing's body was wounded by dozens of wounds, covered in blood, like a god.

But Yang Zaixing didn't stop, and even thought that he wanted to capture Zhang Jun alive among the hundreds of thousands of Song troops, and give the Song army a "capture the thief and capture the king first".

Yang Zaixing, who was riding a horse with a spear, rampaged through the Song army like a tiger descending from the mountain, and thousands of enemies were picked off by Yang Zaixing, and the opponent was killed by Yang Zaixing, who was like a god, and the battle was in chaos.

It's a pity that the target that Yang Zaixing wants to hunt has never appeared in his field of vision - in the face of such a terrifying and even almost crazy opponent, even Zhang Jun, who was well guarded by the left and right, did not dare to attack him directly, and he hid without a trace early.

Yang Zaixing was disappointed, but he did not stop because of this, but continued to advance with his spear, like a sharp sword slammed into the Song army's formation.

And behind Yang Zaixing was the same fearless seven or eight thousand elite cavalry.

Yang Zaixingbu and Yao Xingbu were like two giant dragons, they stirred left and right, causing hundreds of thousands of Song troops to churn.

Liu Qi, who was standing on the high platform, keenly found the weakness of the Song army by carefully observing the changes in the position of the Song army, and then after discussing it with Zhe Keqiu, he sent Zhe Kecun and Zhe Yanzhi to lead 10,000 Zhejia troops and 50,000 Song troops to charge the weakness of the Song army, that is, the Huanqing army.

Zhao Zhe, the commander of the Huanqing Army, had fought with Zhang Jun to pacify the rebel army.

Zhang Jun admired Zhao Zhe's talent very much, and specially sent Zhao Zhe to replace Wang Yi as the pacification envoy of Huanqing Road.

In fact, Zhao Zhe is a civilian official, and leading troops to fight is not an expert, but Zhang Jun doesn't understand military affairs, so he feels that Zhao Zhe, who is a little wise and brave, is a rare talent.

However, Zhao Zhe's little Zhiyong is obviously not enough in this kind of decisive battle of hundreds of thousands.

As a result, when the battle was raging, Zhao Zhe saw that the offensive of the cadres was fierce, so he left the team without permission and did not supervise the battle in front of the army.

The combat effectiveness of the Huanqing Army was originally weak, and Zhao Zhe left the team without authorization, so the Huanqing Army was crushed by the Zhejia Army at once, and then, the Zhejia Army and 50,000 Song troops descended to the Song Dynasty to tear the Song Army's position bigger and bigger, and finally the other battalions of the Song Army had no time to reinforce.

As soon as the Huanqing army collapsed, the soldiers fled, which immediately affected the entire battle situation.

In addition, the two wings of the Song army had been stirred up by Yang Zaixing and Yao Xing at this time.

Liu Qi grabbed the fighter plane, pressed all the firearms that had been restricted from use, and then all kinds of firearms smashed at the Song army as if they didn't want money, crushing the main force of the Song army in one fell swoop.

Liu Qi did not stop the offensive because of this, but sent all the 80,000 cavalry that had been preparing for a long time to cover up and kill the Song army.

At the same time, Liu Qi asked the surrender team, which had been prepared for a long time, to scatter and surrender everywhere.

On the other hand, before the battle, Zhang Jun only thought of victory but did not expect defeat, so once he was defeated, he was at a loss and didn't know how to clean up the mess.

Under the elimination of the other's strengths, the Song army collapsed for thousands of miles.

Huanqing, Jingzhou, and Panyuan were captured by the cadres one after another, and a large number of cadres were under the city of Weizhou.

Weizhou guards Zhang Zhongyan and Zhao Bin were Qu Duan's henchmen.

Qu Duan was demoted, Zhang Zhongfu and Li Yanqi were punished, so that they were already dissatisfied, and the situation was so far, everyone knew that the Zhao Song Dynasty must be completely dead.

Therefore, when the cadres and troops were crushing the city, Zhang Zhongfu, Li Yanqi and others decisively opened the city and surrendered.

And that's like a fuse.

Next, there were constantly Song generals who led their troops to surrender.

It didn't take long for the Song army to sweep across the entire Shaanxi with the help of the Song soldiers who surrendered to the Great Qian Dynasty, and the troops came to Xingyuan Mansion.

Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi and other Song leaders, seeing that the Qian's army was strong, did not dare to be a tough enemy, so they could only evacuate Xingyuan Mansion and enter Shu.

Lin'an City, which had been holding on for nearly half a year, finally waited for its reinforcements.

After Liu Qi and Li Yanxian triumphantly assembled the division, Liu Qi passed Li Cun's order, Li

Yanxian served as the envoy of Sichuan and was responsible for pacifying all the armed forces in Shu, Sun Sandao was responsible for taking over the education and training of all the Zhao and Song troops in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, Zhan Du served as the Sichuan pacification envoy and was responsible for handling all government affairs in Shu, while Chen Hoopou escorted all the royal families and clans of the Zhao Song Dynasty in the Sichuan-Shaanxi region such as Zhao Gou to return to Tokyo Bianliang City, and all the officials of the original Western Song Dynasty small court also went to Tokyo Bianliang City to be disposed of......

At this point, it can be said that Zhao Song is dead!
