In the land of Yanyun, there are scouts of the Qingzhou army, and naturally there are also the imperial city divisions of Zhao and Song.

It's just that compared with the past, today's Imperial City Division has long been erosive.

As for the Children's Army, Zhao Er disappeared after coming to power.

When Song Huizong learned the news, it was already ten days later, and in a shock, he immediately convened his ministers to discuss countermeasures.

At this time, an imperial historian stepped out of the queue and said loudly: "Tong Guan is in a high position, but his corpse is a vegetarian meal, causing the Jin Kingdom to cut off the business road, and the minister asks Your Majesty to punish Tong Guan!" ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"Weichen seconded!"

As soon as the words fell, they were immediately echoed by several officials.

Don't they know the Jin people's intention to cut off the trade route and send troops to guard the official pass?

Of course I do.

But knowing and knowing does not affect them from taking the opportunity to impeach Tong Guan.

The Jin people are just going south to plunder, no different from the grass valley of Qianliao, is it possible that they can destroy the Great Song Dynasty?

Song Huizong didn't like it in his heart, there were not many people he could use now, and Liang Fangping's performance in counterinsurgency Shandong made him feel more and more that Tong Guan was reliable.

Originally, he planned to crown Tong Guan as king this year, but when he saw someone impeaching him at this moment, Song Huizong immediately had a gloomy face.

When Cai You saw it, he couldn't help but comprehend, and scolded: "Now that the enemy is now, you don't want to serve the country, and you still slander the important ministers, and the party is the same as the other, so you don't retreat quickly!" ”

Song Huizong glanced at Cai You appreciatively.

Sun Fu took a step forward and said loudly: "Your Majesty, the ambition of the golden man and the wolf son, it is a foregone conclusion that he will go south, so let the border pass clear the field and prepare for war in advance." In addition, His Majesty can send a letter to let the Han thief prepare in advance. ”

"Not bad!"

Song Huizong nodded, and then asked, "Does Sun Aiqing know when the Jin people will send troops?" ”

Hearing this, Sun Fu groaned: "The soldiers and horses have not moved, and the grain and grass go first." It takes at least three or five months to prepare for the travel of the army, and the Jin people march every year, resulting in a shortage of grain and grass. Now that spring has just begun, the minister thinks that the Jin people should choose after the summer harvest. ”

Li Bangyan, who has been silent, jumped out at this moment to brush up on his sense of existence: "What Sun Shangshu said is reasonable, and the minister also thinks so." ”

In the crowd, Li Gang frowned slightly, and was about to speak, but was stopped by Sun Fu with a look.

After the dispersal of the dynasty, all the way out of the main hall, Li Gang couldn't help but say: "Why did Sun Shangshu say this, the Jin people were going south to plunder because of lack of food and food, and they already had the intention of serving the enemy, how could they prepare for three or five months?" ”

"I know."

Sun Fu said unhurriedly.

Li Gang was stunned for a moment, frowned and said, "Then why ......?"

Before the words fell, Sun Fu interrupted: "Not only the official knows, but Governor Wu and others also know. But if the situation is not urgent, how can the official agree to us? ”

Li Gang said worriedly: "This ...... Sun Shangshu is not afraid of causing trouble? ”

Sun Fu said confidently: "There are Korean thieves in Hebei, and there are more than 100,000 soldiers and horses stationed. Taiyuan is located at the pass, and the Northwest Five Roads can be supported at any time, what can go wrong? ”

Li Gang was silent, he admitted that what the other party said made sense, but he always felt unreliable in his heart.

The Liao people are already very brave, and now they are Jin people who are more ruthless and savage than the Liao people, can they really stop it?

……

Yanjing Mansion, after learning that the Jin people cut off the trade route and cut off all contacts, Tong Guan immediately panicked, and immediately sent Xin Xingzong and Ma Kuo to test the Jin people's intentions in the name of visiting.

A few days later, Xin Xingzong and Ma Kuo returned, and also brought back the Jin envoys.

Tong Guan warmly entertained the envoys of the Jin Kingdom, and asked cautiously during the banquet: "Why is the Jin Kingdom like this?" ”

"Humph!"

A trace of contempt flashed in the eyes of the envoy of the Jin State, and he accused: "Why did the Song State take Zhang Jue in? Don't you know, Zhang Jue is a traitor of my Jin country? ”

"This ......"

Seeing that the other party began to dig through old accounts, Tong Guan laughed: "The officials of the DPRK and China were deceived by that Zhang Jue for a while, and His Majesty has punished him afterwards." ”

"My Jin Kingdom kept its promises, but you and the others went back on their word, Your Majesty was furious and decided to declare war on the Song Kingdom!"

The Jin envoy said, took out the war book from his bosom and handed it over.

Declare war?

Tong Guan was horrified in his heart, and said sneeringly: "This ...... Why didn't you tell me about such a big thing first? ”

Seeing that Tong Guan had not received the war letter for a long time, the envoy of the Jin State sneered in his heart, but persuaded on his face: "If you don't want to go to war, you can do it, you need to cede the land of the two rivers to apologize!" ”

"No!"

As soon as the words fell, Ma Kuo refused.

The two rivers are Hebei and Hedong, even if Song Huizong's brain was kicked by a donkey, it was impossible to agree.

The Jin envoy turned his head and looked at Ma Kuo fiercely.

Ma Kuo was not afraid, and said loudly: "If your country starts a war for no reason, it will definitely suffer the consequences. ”

But Tong Guan was depressed and couldn't cope.

Seeing this, the Jin envoy dropped the war letter and left angrily.

Before leaving, he also dropped a cruel sentence: "Next time, it will be the army of my Jin country!" ”

After the other party left, Tong Guan said in a reproachful tone: "How can you talk like this, how can you offend the envoys of the Jin State now?" ”

Jin Ren doesn't go south, he doesn't really care.

What he cared about was whether he would be punished by His Majesty.

Ma Kuo retorted: "Tong Guogong's words are wrong, the ambition of the golden man and the wolf, it is a foregone conclusion that he will go south, even if it doesn't work today, he will definitely find other excuses tomorrow." The urgent task at the moment is to clear the wilderness and reorganize the armament to meet the battle. ”

"Needless to say, I have my own plans."

Tong Guan waved his hand irritably, and he already had the idea of running away in his heart.

……

……

March 29, it is advisable to travel, and it is forbidden to marry.

On this day, the Jin people showed their sharp fangs and claws, and on the grounds that Zhao and Song reneged on the alliance and took in the rebel general Zhang Jue of the Jin State, they brazenly attacked the Song Dynasty and invaded the Central Plains.

The Jin army was divided into east and west.

The Western Route Army was commanded by Wanyan Zonghan, led an army of 60,000, set off from Datong in Xijing, and entered Daizhou in Zhao and Song Dynasty through Shuozhou.

Ning Huajun learned the news and went to intercept it.

The two sides fought at Chenjiagu in Shuozhou, and the Song army was crushed at the first touch.

Wanyan Zonghan led the army, as if entering a no-man's land, captured Daizhou on the third day, broke Xinzhou on the fifth day, and approached Taiyuan.

Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, while fortifying the walls and clearing the wilderness, held the city, and at the same time sent a letter to the imperial court for help.

Wanyan Zonghan, who had been like a bamboo all the way, arrived in Taiyuan on April 15.

He was greeted by Wang Yu, the commander of the Xuanfu Division, and the 3,000 Shengjie army under his command.

If you talk about the entire Zhao and Song dynasties, which army can fight, except for the Western Army, only the Shengjie Army remains.

Although the number of Shengjie's army is small, it is the elite of the 100,000 forbidden army, and the commander Wang Yu is also a fierce general.

On the other side, the Eastern Route Army was led by Wanyan Zongwang, with a strength of 60,000.

Troops were dispatched from Zhongjing and went straight to Yanyun.

After learning the news of the Jin soldiers' attack, Tong Guan did not hesitate at all, and prepared to abandon the city and flee as soon as possible.

Ma Kuo, who heard the news, stopped Tong Guan's way and persuaded hard: "Now that the Jin soldiers are coming, Tong Guogong should stay and preside over the overall situation, how can he abandon the city?" If the coach leaves his post without permission, it will inevitably affect the morale of Yanjing City. ”

Who knew that Tong Guan was unashamedly reprimanded: "The prince of my country was ordered to proclaim the appeasement, not to guard the territory." You will definitely keep me, what is the use of having a general? Get out of the way quickly, otherwise don't blame your own country for not being emotional! ”

Ma Kuo laughed miserably and retreated to the side of the road.

Seeing this, Tong Guan hurriedly ordered the coachman to drive, and under the escort of his confidant Xin Xingzong, he left Yanjing City and went straight to Kaifeng Mansion.

On the fourth day of the first month of April, Wanyan Lou Room Kezhou.

On the eighth day of the first month of April, Wanyan Yan's mother took Jizhou.

On April 14, Wanyan Zongwang personally led an army of 50,000 and defeated Guo Yaoshi's 45,000 victorious army in Baihe.

Guo Yaoshi is also a fierce general, but because of Zhang Jue's incident, he has a grudge against Zhao Song.

In addition, Tong Guan abandoned the city and fled, and there was no desire to fight at all.

The two sides fought, and the victorious army was crushed at the first touch.

Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army under his command and surrendered the Jin State.

On the same day, Jin Wushu led an army of 10,000 to kill 3,000 Song soldiers at Gubeikou and captured more than 10,000 people.

At this point, the defense line set up by Zhao Song in the land of Yanyun was completely penetrated.

The remaining Yanjing City is just fish on the chopping board.

The news reached Kaifeng Mansion, and the government and the opposition were shaken for a while.

The combat power displayed by the Jin people can be described as terrifying, with two armies, one east and one west, like a broken bamboo, like entering a no-man's land.

In the main hall, Song Huizong's face turned pale.

The ministers in the palace also looked frightened, and even Wu Min, Sun Fu and others were terrified.

They knew that the Jin people were strong, but they didn't expect the Great Song army to be so weak.

The only thing that relieved Zhao Song Junchen was the hundreds of thousands of troops stationed around Kaifeng Mansion.

Song Huizong asked, "Ladies and gentlemen, what should we do now?" ”

Wu Min opened his mouth and said: "Your Majesty can order the Northwest Frontier Army to go to Taiyuan to help, and at the same time ask Uncle Zhang to urge the Han thieves to send troops. ”

"Yes, yes, yes."

Song Huizong was overjoyed, as if grasping a life-saving straw, and hurriedly ordered: "Prepare my will, order Yao Gu, the planter, the fold can be saved, and the fold can be asked to immediately lead the army to aid Taiyuan." Let Uncle Zhang deliver the food and grass to the Han thief as soon as possible. ”

After ordering this, he was still a little uneasy, and continued: "Order the seed master Dao to lead an army of 10,000 to enter Beijing to defend the capital, and then order Liu Yanqing to lead the army north to King Qin!" ”

……

……

After receiving the order, Uncle Zhang happily delivered 200,000 stone grains and grass.

In his opinion, now that the situation is critical, the Qingzhou Army under Han Zhen is brave and can send troops to stop the Jin soldiers, which is naturally the best.

It would be even better if he was defeated and injured by the Jinren, and he would be able to take advantage of the situation to send troops and recover the land of Shandong.

At this time, Han Zhen, who was far away in Yidu, was wearing a black light armor with a golden dragon pattern, sitting upright in the White Tiger Hall of the military camp, issuing orders one after another.

"Order Nie Dong to lead the army on the front road to battle lightly, and be sure to rush to Xiongzhou within seven days."

"Ordered the sailor to set off immediately, and within ten days, the grain and grass will be transported to the mouth of the Nigu Sea."

"Order Liu Qi to reorganize the army ......"

Three hours later, Han Zhen got up and said, "The logistics will be handed over to you!" ”

"The county magistrate is relieved, and the minister will do his best to live up to the king's grace!"

Shi Wenhui responded affectionately and sincerely.

"Hmm!"

Han Zhen nodded, and strode out of the White Tiger Hall with a horse lance in hand.

On the school ground, 5,000 cavalry and 5,000 foot soldiers were ready to go.

Han Zhen didn't talk nonsense, turned over and got on the horse, and waved his big hand.

"Let's go, break the enemy!"
