Chapter 67: The Important Town of Ezhou (Part II)

The three of them walked out of the camp gate, Liang Hongyu took the girl's hand and admonished: "Lin'er, be more careful along the way." Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE怂 info" said to Dugu Sword again: "Dugu Shaoxia, take care all the way." In the future, Lin'er will ask you to take care of it. Touched the girl's head, and sighed softly: "Alas, my poor child ......" Zhang Linxin looked at Liang Hongyu's appearance, her eyes were red, and she hugged her and shouted: "Mother!" Liang Hongyu patted the girl and said with a smile: "Okay, Lin'er, it's not too early, you better hurry up and get on the road." ā€

The girl let go of her arm, looked at Liang Hongyu and nodded, and said, "Well, my mother should also take care of herself, and when Lin'er finishes things, she will come back to see her mother." Liang Hongyu patted the girl's shoulder again and said with a smile: "Okay, my mother knows, my mother is waiting for Lin'er to come back, let's go." So saying, he ordered the guards to lead the horses and let them mount.

Dugu Jian and Zhang Linxin turned over and got on the horse, and Dugu Jian said to Liang Hongyu again: "Mrs. Han, there will be a period later!" Liang Hongyu nodded, "Well, let's go!" The two of them shook the reins, and their toes kicked lightly on the horse's belly, and the two horses were in pain, neighed, and galloped westward. Liang Hongyu looked at the backs of the two of them, nodded, and then returned to the camp.

It can be said that the eighth and ninth years of Shaoxing were the calmest two years since the Song and Jin countries fought for more than ten years, and although there would be some small friction and battles between the two sides, they were quite restrained, and there was no too large-scale war. First, because of the court of the Great Song Dynasty controlled by Qin Hui, hundreds of civil and military officials could not compete with him, and Emperor Gaozong also blindly wanted to seek peace, supported Qin Hui, and left Yue Fei and Han Shizhong's invitations to war, suppressing the voices of the generals asking for war.

On the Jin side, after the second emperor Wan Yan Sheng died in the fifth year of Shaoxing, Akuta's grandson Wan Yan Yan inherited the throne, but he was still young Zong Han, Zong Gan, Zong Bi and other founding heroes relied on himself as Wan Yan Kang's uncle, and the credit was great, and he successively held the power of the government, and the Jin State continued to have internal friction between several years, and these founding heroes attacked each other, and many princes and ministers died under the knife of their own people, and the national strength of the Jin State also declined a lot. On the side of the Great Song Dynasty, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others took the opportunity to recover a lot of lost territory and advanced the front line to the Huai River, and Liu Yu's puppet Qi regime was also abolished by Wanyan because he could not resist the attacks of Han Yue and others, but the Jin State still had no time to take care of the Gaozong court in the south of the Yangtze River, so that the Song court got a lot of time to recuperate.

Until the eighth year of Shaoxing, Zong Pan, Zong Jun, Tart Lai and others grasped the entire military and political power of the Jin State, and several people advocated peace talks with the Song Dynasty, intending to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi to the Song Dynasty, inducing the Great Song Dynasty to pay tribute to the Jin Dynasty, and suppressing the Jin Wushu faction that was the main battle. As a result, the battle line between the two countries has been stabilized on the Huai River line, and there has been no major war in two years.

It can be seen from this that Fang Mian sent a letter to Liu Qingzhou to ask him to assassinate Tart Lai, which was very unwise. They all saw all the difficulties and humiliations suffered by the Jin people when the Song and Jin Dynasty negotiated peace, and how much gold and silver wealth were taken away by the Jin people, which made the people of the Great Song Dynasty disappointed again. What I didn't expect was that the forbearance for a while may not be able to break out in the future. Yue Wang Goujian has been lying on his salary for more than ten years, didn't he still destroy the state of Wu?

As the lord of the Jin State and the people who held the military power in the faction, he died, and the Lord of the Jin State and the faction could not find a general who could command the soldiers and horses! This also made the Jin Wushu, who was the main battle, once again grasp the military power, and he united those ministers who were suppressed by the lord and the faction to attack together, and wiped out the lords and factions such as Zong Pan and Zong Jun, killing them and exiled them, and finally took all the power of the court and government into his own hands.

Wanyan Kang is also very trusting of Wushu, after killing Zong Pan and others, he entrusted all the military and political power, and Wushu also lived up to expectations, as soon as he took office, he transferred troops and sent generals, with an aggressive posture, to suppress the Great Song Dynasty. He also sent Nangong Xuan and various masters in the Five Color Sect to make trouble in the Central Plains martial arts, so that the people in the martial arts had no time to care about anything else, and could not effectively help the Song army to spy on intelligence.

Now that the Wushu has effectively carried out its plan, the army of the Jin State is constantly coming from the north, forming a threatening trend on the Huai River. And the Wulin Zhonghua Mountain faction, which wedged into the West Road of the Jin Kingdom, has been completely pulled out, and the Hengshan faction has also been injured because of Ruixin's death, only the East Road side, continuous misses, Taishan faction and Shaolin two shadows have failed to play an effect, but it does not affect the Jin people's troop deployment, after all, there are few monks in Shaolin Temple, can not become enough threat, and although Taishan 18 villages are said to be many, but that side is not the main battlefield, not enough to become a henchman.

After Yue Fei suppressed the rebellion of Yang Qi in Dongting Lake in the fifth year of Shaoxing, he was enshrined as the founding prince of Wuchang County, and then promoted to Jinghu North Road and Xiangyang Fu Road to recruit envoys. At the beginning of the sixth year of Shaoxing, Zhang Jun, the prime minister and governor, ordered Yue Fei to march to Xiangyang and prepare for the recovery of the Central Plains. After Yue Fei went to Lin'an to meet Emperor Gaozong, he returned to Ezhou and actively deployed, preparing to march into Xiangyang Mansion again.

In July of that year, the Yue family army swore to the Northern Expedition, and Yue Fei divided the army into two routes, led by Niu Gao and Wang Gui respectively. The two armies won the battle in succession, defeated the puppet Qi Liu Yu's multi-way soldiers and horses, and conquered dozens of cities. Just as Yue's army was preparing to cross the Yellow River directly, cooperate with the rebels in Taihang Mountain, and recover the lost territory in Hebei, but because Yue Fei's march plan failed to get the support of the imperial court, he finally had to retreat and return to Ezhou due to "no help" and "lack of food and grass".

After that, Jin Wushu also led the army and the puppet Qi army to make peace, and launched a fierce attack on the Xianghan area. Yue Fei once again led his troops out of Ezhou and repelled the attack of the coalition forces. After Wushu withdrew from the army, Yue Fei returned to Ezhou due to the constraints within the court and the lack of grain and grass left.

In the seventh year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei was hindered by Qin Hui and Zhang Jun, and was ridiculed by Zhang Jun. Emperor Gaozong sent Li Ruoxu and Wang Gui to Lushan to ask Yue Fei to return to the army, and Li Ruoxu persuaded him for six days before Yue Fei agreed to accept the edict to return to the army.

In February of the eighth year of Shaoxing, Yue Fei led the army to enter Ezhou again, insisted on training the troops, reorganized the Yuejia army, and prepared to go out to the Northern Expedition again. But the Song and Jin countries began to negotiate peace at the end of the year, Yue Fei and Han Shizhong expressed their resolute opposition to this, and they were very dissatisfied with Qin Hui's framing of Zhang Feng, and they wrote many times, which also led to Qin Hui's hatred of the two and wanted to try to get rid of the two.

After Jin Wushu took power, he was even more troubled by Han Yue's ability to command and use troops, he knew that if he wanted to attack the Great Song Dynasty, he had to pass the level of Han Yue and the others, so he planned to use the Five Color Sect to assassinate the two. However, judging from the situation at this time, the matter of the Five Colors Sect has been spread to the whole world, and after the two of Jian Xin are sent to Yue Fei again, I am afraid that this method is unlikely to continue to be implemented.
