Second Southern Expedition

Of course, he failed to kill tens of thousands of people alone. He just came to bring a message: The bandit suppression force will arrive later, and the attack will be launched at dawn at the latest. You can surrender!

When the rebels surrendered, Han Shizhong was promoted again: Zuo Wu Duke, Shanzhou regiment commander, and stationed in the Hutuo River. In this way, he became an intermediate officer, regardless of size and size, and had his own acre of three-point land.

Life in Shanzhou was short, and not long after, he received an order: quickly lead the army to rescue Zhaozhou, where he cooperated with the senior Western Army Wang Yuan to defend the Jin army. This was the most important battle before he got on the track of fate!

At that time, the Jin army captured Zhending Prefecture, the important town of the Song Dynasty, second only to the three northern towns. Zhaozhou was another fortress south of Zhending. The military ordered him to do everything possible to hold on to it and how long it could last. Han Shizhong understood: this was to use his and his subordinates' lives to exchange for the upper class of the Song Dynasty to breathe. In the current situation of running away at that time, there was no need to pay attention to it...

Han Shizhong did as ordered. He first led his troops to defend the city until the food was exhausted. At this time, someone advised him to break through as soon as possible and to rush out while his combat power was not lost! Han Shizhong shook his head, he would not escape! It snowed heavily that night. At midnight, he quietly opened the city gate and led 00 dead soldiers to rush into the Jin camp. In the dark, he ran around in the Jin camp. Who knows where he killed whom that night? Anyway, the Jin camp was in chaos. When he took his people out of the camp, he was still shouting for killing behind him...

Afterwards, I learned that it was dark that night. The largest leader of the Jin army outside Zhaozhou City was hacked to death by someone. The official analysis of the Song Dynasty: It is very likely that it was not done by Han Shizhong and the others, but by accidental injuries within the Jin army...

In any case, Han Shizhong escaped and was promoted to Jiazhou Defense Envoy.

Han Shizhong's affairs came to an end, fate was waiting for him ahead, and his opportunity would come until Zhao Guangyi's lineage was left with only one seedling left to escape from the devil's claws...

It was finally Yue Fei's turn. He really wanted to clear away the layers of fog and record his life clearly and clearly. But I couldn't do it. Because his information was missing, the greatest, patriotic, heroic and strongest soldier of that era, his life was destroyed by his own nation! They not only killed his life, but also destroyed his marks. All I could record was some analysis results mixed with various materials...

Yue Fei left the Han family in 111 and went to society. He became a archer in a town in Xiangzhou. This position is equivalent to today's urban management and is responsible for social security. This is the lowest level of the Song Dynasty's service and is undertaken by the fourth-class household. From this we can see that the reason why Yue Fei was able to become a archer is probably due to the introduction of the Han family...

Despite this, Yue Fei resigned quickly. As for the reason, it should be that he was bored? Everyone knows what urban management is...

After losing his job again, Yue Fei was relaxed. The Han family introduced him as a archer and had paid off his friendship with repelling the horse thief. At this time, he could only rely on himself. He finally made a decision: to join the army!

At that time, the Yanyun Battle had begun, and Tong Guan led heavy troops to the north, resulting in the emptiness of the rear. Liu Fu, the envoy of the Zhending Xuanfu in Hebei, decided to recruit soldiers from the people. Yue Fei entered the military camp during this recruitment. His troops had a number called "Dao Warriors", that is, "Suicide Squad". As of this, there was no ambiguity in the information. No one expressed doubts about Yue Fei's life, but the following was different.

"History of the Song Dynasty" records that after Yue Fei joined the army, Yue Fei became the squad leader who dared to fight because of his outstanding military achievements. He soon received a task: return to Xiangzhou to suppress bandits.

This group of bandits have strength and foundation. They usually hide in the mountains and cannot come down, and they will leave after robbing a ticket. According to normal ideas, new recruits like Yue Fei can't deal with others at all? But he is Yue Fei! He is the most genius among the four generals of ZTE! What is a genius? He learns without a teacher, no one teaches him how to do it, and he can do anything!

Yue Fei took only a hundred or so people and set off. Strictly speaking, less than dozens of people were walking with him, because more people entered Xiangzhou first, they disguised themselves as small vendors... For the bandits, they were purely fat pigs arched their pens and fat meat delivered to the door. They rushed down the mountain normally, and these vendors surrendered normally, and they were snatched up the mountain with their own things. The goods became bandits, and people became new bandits...

Yue Fei divided the remaining people into two groups again, one group was ambushed at the foot of the mountain, and another group followed him to suppress the bandits. At that time, there was a scene at the foot of the Tianshan Mountain: at most twenty or thirty soldiers stood at the foot of the mountain to provoke and demanded the bandits surrender... The bandits on the mountain could no longer bear it, even if they could live a quiet life in the future, they would have to beat these ignorant people hard!

So the bandits rushed down, the soldiers fled, the bandits chased, there were ambushes, and the bandits fought again, and suddenly everything stopped. The mountain surrendered, the bandit leader became a prisoner, and was taken down by the vendors on the mountain... Completed!

The army was basically not injured or killed, all the bandits were caught, and all the bandits were lost, and all the bandits were confiscated. Considering that the above was completed with small forces, this record was perfect!

This is Yue Fei's official record during this period. However, a senior historian, who was once the director of the History Department of Peking University, director of the Center for Chinese Mediterranean History Research, chairman of the presidium of the Chinese Historical Society, president of the Chinese Song History Research Association, and recognized by the academic community as "the first person to study Song history in the 0th century", believes that the official record is fake. Yue Fei's real experience should be that he participated in the Yanyun Battle and followed Guo Yaoshi into Youzhou City. He was driven out of the city by Xiao Gan, and escaped back to the camp on foot...

The reason is that the "Jin Tuo Summary" written by Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke collected miscellaneous notes of the army of several staff members in the Yue family's army. One of the records says that Yue Fei once said that he had visited the city of Youzhou, Liao (who mistakenly called Huanglong Mansion) and saw the city wall as high as a hill. So Mr. Deng inferred that Yue Fei's only chance to reach the city of Youzhou in his life was when he was the leader of the Dare Warrior! Because Yue Fei had never crossed the Lugou Bridge in his life...

This inference seems to make sense. But one thing: "History of the Song Dynasty" itself also comes from various materials compiled by Yue Ke for his ancestors. For example, the above deeds of bandit suppression come from "E Wang Xing Shi Chronicle". So Mr. Deng: You don't believe what Yue Ke said, but you believe that Yue Fei in the staff notes mentioned in Yue Ke's other book chatted a while ago. What is the reason?

Well, let the specific examples in the future talk about Yue Fei. The last big figure in the future appears: Zhang Jun, the biggest contradiction between the two Song dynasties! As the leader of the future imperial military, Zhang Jun’s current situation is very intriguing…

He passed the Jinshi and became an official, and was the Taichang Book in the capital. This was just a small official in the Taichang Temple who was responsible for the national ritual and music system. He had no real power and was a typical place where civil servants were qualified.

If you look at the "History of the Song Dynasty" and he did nothing during this period. If you look at the "Such Zizhi Tongjian Changbian" you will find that he is very active. He is jumping up and down when the Kaifeng Defense War is at its most critical moment.

At that time, Yao Pingzhong failed to steal the camp, and the whole city was panicked. Zhang Jun felt that he had to speak. He saw the most critical point of the problem! He said that the responsibility was all on Li Gang. He was too authoritative and resigned due to blame!

Authoritarian…These two words are the common voices that Zhao Gou, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun and other upper-class figures in the Southern Song Dynasty after working with Zhang Jun in the next ten years…

Li Gang ordered Jie Qian to station Weisheng Army, Liu Wei stationed in Liaozhou, Wang Yining, Zhe Keqiu, Zhang Enzheng stationed in Fenzhou, Fan Qiong stationed in North and South Pass, and wanted to advance together to rescue Taiyuan City. However, all the generals refused to listen to Li Gang's orders, the Xuanfu envoy.

So on August 1, the army did not obey the control and started fighting. First, Liu Wei was defeated by the Jin army with all his strength. Then Jie Qian was defeated by the Jin army in Guannan. Finally, Zhang Enzheng, who and Zhang Hao, the son of Taiyuan Prefect Zhang Xiaochun, led 170,000 troops to attack Wanyan Loushi in Wenshui at night, with a small victory. The battle will be fought again tomorrow and will be defeated. Zhe Keqiu also defeated Zixiashan. So the entire Hedong was terrified. The people of Weisheng Army, Longde Prefecture, Fenzhou, Jinzhou, Zezhou, and Jiangzhou, who were in the south of Taiyuan, crossed the Yellow River and fled south...

On the Sunday, Fan Shixiong led Hunan troops to the front line, and Li Gang was preparing to reorganize his team, and at the same time wrote a memorial to discuss the disadvantages of restraint and undecisiveness. However, the Song Dynasty court no longer gave him the opportunity, summoned Li Gang back to the court, and reappointed Zong Shidao as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei and Hedong Road.

On August 14, 116, the Jin army made the second southern expedition. The troops were equipped, the marshal's division of labor, and the march route were exactly the same as last time: Wanyan Zonghan led the Western Route Army, set out from Datong Prefecture, the capital of the Western Jingdao of the Great Liao Dynasty, and captured the important town of Taiyuan. Wanyan Zongwang led the Eastern Route Army, set out from Baozhou of the Great Song Dynasty, and captured the important town of Zhongshan, and Zhending. The two Jin troops were expected to meet at the city of Kaifeng... They were familiar with each other, so there was no need to change it.

In response to the Jin army's southern expedition, the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were divided into two factions: Prime Minister Xu Churen, the head of Xu Han, the head of the Privy Council, the head of the battle; Second Prime Minister Wu Min, the head of the disciple Geng Nanzhong, the head of the harmony. As a result, on the 5th, Xu Han was dismissed. Xu Churen and Wu Min continued to argue in front of the emperor, and Xu Churen threw the pen in his hand over Wu Min's face. So on the 6th, Xu Churen and Wu Min were both dismissed. The head of the Secretariat Tang Ke became the prime minister, the right prime minister of the Secretariat He Li was the head of the Secretariat He Guoting, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and the prefect of Kaifeng Nie Chang was the head of the Secretariat.

At the same time, Zhao Huan sent Liu Cen and Li Ruoshui to meet Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang respectively and request peace talks. Wanyan Zongwang's condition was hostages and the gold and silver owed. Wanyan Zonghan only talked about the three towns in Hebei. So in 7 style, Wang Yun went on a special mission to the West Route Army to discuss the affairs of the three towns. Song Qinzong wanted to learn from the wisdom of Fu Bi who was sent to Liao in Renzong's era and used taxes to replace land.

In fact, the Eastern Army was the main force of internal control. After all, the first time the Western Army was blocked was Wanyan Zongwang who fought alone to Kaifeng City, and did what the Khitans went to fight alone, but Empress Xiao did not do. But this time the focus was still on the Western Army, because Wanyan Zonghan and Taiyuan City. To be fair, Wanyan Zonghan was the number one military strongman on the East Asian continent. Since the rise of the Jurchens, he has destroyed powerful enemies and destroyed famous cities in the past ten years. His achievements were far from being as good as Zhao Kuangyin, Chai Rong and others. Beyond him, only Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda...

What does such a fierce man have to do with a Han city? The city should be just his medal, decorating his glory. But Taiyuan City is different! Throughout history, I don’t know how many famous generals are in front of it, even Wanyan Zonghan is no exception!

Since January last year, Taiyuan was besieged until almost 9 months, and the tricks that the Jin army can use are basically used. For example, famous generals attacked the city, and the person who attacked the city was Nichhu, which was the invincible general of the Jin army. For example, no Song Dynasty reinforcements arrived at the city in 9 months. For example, Taiyuan City was initially attacked and there was no time to hoard war equipment and food, and the consumption of the entire city's military and civilians in one day was astonishing... Together, Taiyuan City was still unmoved! Theoretically, the last move that the Jin army could still take was Wanyan Zonghan himself?

Wanyan Zonghan personally brought the troops and the combat equipment he brought were completely different from before. What is particularly important is that he also brought his own brain, and the experience in it was another cutting-edge weapon...

In the entire history of the Song Dynasty, there were countless wars, famous generals and wars. In the hearts of every historical reader, there was a ranking list to confirm the strongest general and the most glorious wars he recognized. But one thing is recognized by everyone. In the history of the Song Dynasty, there were two famous cities that had won the battles of eternal achievements and lasting forever. One was Diaoyu City in the late Southern Song Dynasty, and the other was Taiyuan City in the Northern Song Dynasty at this time... The former recorded glory, while the latter carried perseverance.

Wanyan Zonghan attacked the city, and the first wave was a long-range attack. He brought 0 cannons, which were huge catapults. With a command, he threw the big stone into the city. The smash was very accurate, but unfortunately, because it was too accurate, it was all wasted!

The Song army set up many empty fences on the top of the city. It looked like the focus of the city defense outside, but it was actually empty. If the stones were smashed, it would be broken. If something was smashed, many chaff bags were prepared next to it and piled up to repair them immediately...

The second wave is crossing the river. Next to Taiyuan City is the Fen River, the second tributary of the Yellow River. This big river was once dug by Zhao Kuangyin, flooding Taiyuan City. Still nothing is enough and can't get in! This big river determines that the moat of Taiyuan City is wide and deep. If you want to hit the city wall, this river must be filled! How to fill it? Everyone held shields and arrows, and dug soil and filled the ditches with shovels below? Just kidding! After it is filled, maybe the Eastern Army will go to Kaifeng City to eat alone again!
