When he entered the city, the Song army had already discovered that the scouts of the Jin army had appeared in the suburbs of Kaifeng such as Chenqiaoyi; but one day, all the counties and towns north of Kaifeng fell, and the army of Wanyan Yanmu also crossed the Yellow River. Luoyang 800 miles urgently, the Western Front 120,000 Song troops collapsed without a fight, Wan Yan Gao led the Jin army to the south bank without any obstacles, and sent troops to Hezhongfu.

Song Qinzong was so angry that he wanted to kill people, and was persuaded by Sun Fu to die, and in a fit of anger, he removed Zhao Ye and Yan Qi North Dao, who were still on the road, from his position as the governor of North Dao. As soon as Zhao Ye walked to Huainan, he immediately fled back to Runzhou when he heard the news, and ran to the palace to see Song Huizong; Song Huizong looked at Zhao Ye and was helpless, and said to Xu Zhichang, who was drinking together: "Yang Zhi and Zong Ze are both prime ministers, but it's a pity. Can Zhao Ye and Yan Qi fight? The two of them are not as good as Li Gang, Xu Han, and Zhao Ye, sit down. ”

Of course, Xu Zhichang understood the pity in Song Huizong's mouth, if Yang Zhi and Zong Ze were paired with Li Gang now, Hebei would probably have been pacified, and Song Jin's front would definitely be dangling in Youzhou. Yang Zhi opened up the Hetao, and Zong Ze recovered the south of Taiyuan, it can be seen that the two of them have a city government, in a word, they can stop in moderation, they are not greedy, and they can do as much as they can;

Zhao Ye hurriedly thanked him and sat down, and the eunuch added dishes and chopsticks to Zhao Ye; Empress Dowager Zheng put a peeled lychee into her mouth and asked Xu Zhichang: "What does Taiyuan think of the battle situation?"

Xu Zhichang has a good relationship with all aspects, and can often hear some rumors about Taiyuan, Xu Zhichang said with a little embarrassment: "Taiyuan thinks that the Jin army will definitely hit Bianliang." ”

King Jing Zhao Qi said: "Yang Zhi once wrote a letter to Fan Zhixu a month ago, reminding Fan Zhixu to pay attention, saying that the Jin army was waiting for the Yellow River to freeze, and Luoyang was the first place to charge, so the Jin army might not attack Taiyuan; ”

Of course, I am afraid of people, just look at the surroundings of Taiyuan now, you can see that Yang Zhi saw today's results at that time, so Zhao Kai won the bet; even if the Jin people withdrew, if Zhao Kai wanted to use the army to speak, I am afraid that he would have a chance now. Song Huizong sighed and said: "What do you want Yang Zhi to do, the Great Song Dynasty is obviously capable of fighting, but he was beaten like this, and I was replaced by me, and I also looked anxious, I heard that Liu Qi and Mi Youren also ran away." ”

These two people are Yang Zhi's brothers, they must have gone to Taiyuan, Zhao Qi asked, "Father, does Taiyuan need so many people?"

Song Huizong said with relief: "You have also seen that Taiyuan doesn't need so many people at all, but since your third brother has taken that step, he has to save his own life and that of his supporters, and the only way to do this is to constantly strengthen his strength, but the stronger your third brother's strength, your eldest brother will be taboo." To be honest, I originally thought that it would be good if your third brother could keep Taiyuan, but now I look at it, when Yang Zhi gave him ideas, he fell in love with Hebei, Hedong, and Hetao. ”

Zhao Qi said seriously: "If there are too many troops, Taiyuan's finances will not be able to stand up. ”

Song Huizong shook his head and said: "So they didn't take the initiative to attack, they were waiting for your eldest brother's mistake, whether it was Shaanxi or Hebei, as long as they were defeated, they would be able to intervene." Now don't you see, Hetao, Hebei, Hedong, they take the territory little by little, if they don't agree to surrender on their own initiative, once the Western Xia sends troops, the Zhe family will definitely suffer heavy losses. ”

Xu Zhichang and the others had long known that this was the trend, and Zhao Kai was unwilling to raise troops to seize the throne openly, so he could only snatch food from the tiger's mouth of the alien race; the three prefectures outside the Hehai family were now the territory of the Dingbei Army on three sides, and no one would be able to make perfunctory dealings with Zhe Keqiu. Empress Zheng and Zhao Qi were stunned, their mother and son had actually discussed in private, thinking that Zhao Kai would take such a dangerous road, but they didn't expect that in less than a year, the changes would be so big, Zhao Kai lived a nourishing life, and the Great Song Dynasty was in danger in the north, and even the folding family was about to be unable to hold on.

Chen Guogong Zhao Ji was born to Zhao Kai is mother, and asked, "Can the third brother recover Hebei?"

"No way. Zhao Ye said sadly: "The number of troops is too small, Tong Guan once said that if the seed family brings 100,000 elite soldiers to Taiyuan, there may be a little hope." The Jin army can reach 700,000 when it is exhausted, and the Dingbei army can support 150,000 in place, so they can only come step by step. If it is a rabble, what about 200,000 troops? We have recruited troops again and again in Hedong, and as long as there are local people, these people are not allowed to go to the battlefield in the Dingbei army. ”

Yao Gu and Xie Cheng lost more than 300,000 troops on the battlefield in Hedong, causing the Song army north of the Yellow River to lose everything; at present, the south bank of the Yellow River has lost more than 100,000 troops, which was originally an opportunity for the Dingbei army, but the Dingbei army, like the Jin army, has fallen into the dilemma of insufficient troops; only the Great Song army has a steady stream of soldiers, but the Song army has been defeated and retreated on the battlefield one after another, and there is no decent record of success.

The people at the table were suddenly full of bitterness, no wonder those people in the Dingbei Army looked down on these pillars of the DPRK and China, this battle was too embarrassing, and the 100,000 army was wiped out at every turn, and they didn't even have the least tenacity. The loss of troops plus materials is becoming more and more difficult for the Great Song Dynasty to replenish, and those who fool around on errands may eventually find that they are fooling around, but they are actually fooling themselves.

Song Huizong drank a glass of wine unhurriedly and looked at Zhao Ji: "Yang Zhi wrote a letter to your sister, what did you say in the letter? Don't say I don't know, Yang Zhi writes every month, and this kid will also be a Fang Xuanling in the future." ”

Fang Xuanling is a well-known wife who is strict with his wife. Song Huizong was saying in disguise that Yang Zhi was afraid of his wife, and everyone laughed rarely; Zhao Ji and Zhao Yingluo have the same father and mother, and the relationship is quite good, and it was Zhao Yingluo who brought Zhao Ji to Runzhou. Zhao Ji said embarrassedly: "Yang Zhi said that everything depends on whether Bianliang City will be captured, if Bianliang City is broken, the Jin army will put forward the conditions for retreating; if Bianliang City holds out until next summer, the Jin army will have to retreat." ”。

Zhao Ye realized: "The Jin people are still for the sake of supplies, and they are ready to loot and return. If Bianliang insists on half a year, the Dingbei Army will be able to almost defeat half of Hebei and one Hedong. ”

Zhao Ye actually thought of the speculation that Yang Zhixin could not say clearly, Bianliang City was broken, and it was difficult to say whether Song Qinzong could escape, and Song Huizong had the possibility of making a comeback in the south; Xu Zhichang is also a particular person, and asked Zhao Ji with a smile: "Chen Guogong, where is the princess's business going to be arranged?"
