On the 15th, Song Huizong fled to Zhenjiang in the south. At this time, a large group of people had already caught up with him. Yuwen Cuizhong, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu and others each brought huge guards, among which Tong Guan was the most, and he had more than 000 soldiers in Shengjie Army. The leader, Daojun, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji, had a team again, and they headed south all the way...

On the same day, the Jin army captured Yangwu County and the magistrate Jiang Xingzu died in martyrdom.

On the 16th, the flying sand and stones were gone. Ma Zhong, the commander of the Luoyang in Xijing, led the royal army to fight! He met the Jin army's ranger outside Shuntian Gate and immediately started a fight [31 Novel Network                                                                                                                                                                                                                                

On January 1, half a month after the Kaifeng Defense Battle started, Wanyan Zongwang was shocked! He found that two Song troops were coming from the northwest, without entering the city gate, and directly to the south bank of the Bian River to the west of the capital. He set up camp in front of his camp gate and challenged him head-on!

It seems that the military banner is written with the word "Zen" written on one banner, and the other is written with the word "Yao" written on the other banner!

The family army of the Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty, the Yao family army! The strongest army of the Song Dynasty! The oldest and most famous general has arrived! This shock is huge! Not only the troops of Zhong Shidao, but also the famous Western Army of the Great Song Dynasty after hundreds of battles! The strongest Western Army, even after two defeats in the Northern Expeditions, experienced the torture of Jingkang's king, was facing the Jin army head-on after the New Year, and then entered her dusk... And even so, the strongest group of generals in the Song Dynasty still rose from her ashes: Han Shizhong, Zhang Jun, Liu Guangshi, and Wu brothers!

Wanyan Zongwang sent people to the distance to explore and found that there were troops marching one after another behind Zhong Shidao. There were rumors among the people that "the Western army launched a large-scale aid, with millions of people." Wanyan Zongwang immediately retreated, retreated from the edge of Kaifeng City to Moutuogang, and increased his base to defend himself...

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang was deceived! Because there were not many people in Zhong Shidao, Yao and Zhong all added together, they only reached 10,000 Western Army. But why was he deceived? It was because the Jin people had never attended military education classes and did not understand military tactics at all! It was not that you could fight, and if you win, you would be the god of war! Many truths, many tricks, and many changes were accumulated over the years. A nation fought for thousands of years, won countless games, and lost countless times before it could accumulate...

For example, at this time, Master Zhong made great efforts and took the initiative to challenge it, but it was actually because he was not capable! He had been accused of the first Northern Expedition and became Tong Guan's scapegoat and was stripped of his official position. In addition, he was disheartened, and returned to the leopard valley forest of Zhongnan Mountain where his ancestors lived in seclusion, preparing to cultivate the fields and entertain themselves, and die in his old age...

But the national crisis suddenly came! When Yuwen Xuzhong called on the imperial edict of all the troops from all over the world to enter the capital to serve the king, the old Zong Xiang, who was over 70 years old, came out of the mountain without hesitation and led his army to the capital! But there were too few soldiers, and he hurriedly got together after meeting Yao Pingzhong. To be honest, this could not represent the true strength of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty...

On the way to the capital, most of the staff were timid and suggested that Zhong Shidao advance quietly, enter the capital quietly, and only participate in defense. If you have the current strength to fight the Jin army head-on, if you fail, it will cause a huge blow to the morale of the defending army, and then the situation will be dangerous...

Zhong Shidao shook his head and said, "You don't understand the military strategy. The military is dangerous and deceitful, and things are urgent and strange." Now our army has few soldiers. If he hesitates and fails to advance, the Jin army will know the details. We just need to move forward with great fanfare and go against the way. When the Jin army fights in the guest realm, they will be worried about gains and losses. Kaifeng is in a dangerous city. As long as one cavalry arrives, the morale of the army will be greatly boosted. That is the top priority!

Everything was predicted by him, and Wanyan Zongwang retreated as soon as possible!

When Zhong Shidao entered the city, he was Li Gang's lucky star, but he was also Li Gang's disaster star! When the reinforcements arrived, Li Gang's confidence in defending the city was immediately sufficient. The military strength was the hard truth, which was more useful than anything he said in the Golden Palace! What's more, Zhong Shidao even spoke up for him in the Golden Palace!

When Zhong Shidao came to the hall, all the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty were a little scared. For nothing else, the military personnel, especially the Western Army, were sometimes wild donkeys. As long as they were wise, they would not give anyone any face!

At this time, Zhong Shidao went to the hall. Song Qinzong first gave a condolence, and then asked, "From a military perspective, should we fight or reconcile?" Zhong Shidao replied, "I think it should not be reconciled. The capital is 80 miles, and the Jin army is only 60,000, so how can we surround it? Besides, there are food and grass that can be used for several years in the city, and millions of residents. How can the Jin army break through? As long as we refuse to defend and wait for the army to serve the king, at most half a month, the enemy soldiers will naturally be embarrassed." After hearing the emperor hesitated, Prime Minister Li Bangyan was angry! He plundered the whole city and sold all the emperor's belongings, and then he raised enough money to negotiate peace talks. Now that the money has been handed over, old man Zhong has something to do again! He jumped out and said, "The peace talks have been settled, and those who dare to fight will be killed."

Zhong Shidao asked, "I am in the northwest and I don't know that the capital is so tall and rich, and I have more garrisons, why do you just want to make peace?" Li Bangyan said, "The country has no soldiers, so I have to do it."

"There are millions of residents in the capital, so you can't fight in the field. You can always defend the city." Li "I don't understand military..." "I still come out to mess with you if you don't understand military affairs? Then I don't understand military affairs, I always recognize words, have you read books? Do you don't know anything about war and defense in ancient times?" Li Bangyan was depressed and had nothing to say...

Zhong Shidao continued to pick on the tricks, "I heard that all the residents outside the city were robbed, why didn't they stand firm and clear the fields? This is a changeable enemy." Li Bangyan "hadn't have time." Zhong Shidao laughed, "It's so panicky, so panicky." The ministers next to him and the guards outside the hall laughed. At this point, Li Bangyan finally woke up a little and chose to stand aside to give you a place...

The above scene made Li Gang very excited. The old husband was mighty! It was great to make Li Bangyan’s sing mischievous songs so shameless! It would be good to make the surrender faction defeated and be beneficial to the country and nation!

But the side effects appeared. Perhaps it was because the old husband Zhong performed too well, which made Zhao Huan feel amazing? So when Li Gang asked to bring the Zong family army and the Yao family army to the control of the ministers, the emperor refused and made a temporary decision: give Zong Shidao independent military power and compete with Li Gang! The two were on an equal footing!

This is the biggest turning point in the first Kaifeng defense battle! One thing and two unifications are the most unavoidable! It will be proved soon that unlucky comes from this matter!

Then why did this mess come? Looking deeper, this is Zhao Huan's nature at work - to be clever!

His life experience destined that he always had a sense of crisis and was always looking for a sense of security. For example, it was a forced thing to hand over military power to Li Gang at this time. To put it bluntly, the reason why he chose to resist was that he was forced to go to Liangshan by Li Gang, which was equivalent to being forced to go to Liangshan. How could he feel at ease? In his heart, there were Jin soldiers outside and powerful ministers inside, which was really like being on pins and needles. At the critical moment, a grandfather fell from the sky, a good opportunity was given to him, and it just happened to relieve Li Gang's crisis! Divide Li Gang's military power!

What's more, Zhong Shidao is a professional and senior military talent. From which point of view, they are more suitable for fighting the enemy than Li Gang. Then someone will ask: Why don't Li Gang step down and give all the military power to Zhong Shidao? Answer: Then Zhao Huan will still feel insecure...

So he appointed Zong Shidao as the envoy of Xuanfu and Yao Pingzhong as the commander-in-chief. The military was in power and Zhao Huan finally breathed a sigh of relief and decided to hurry up and do his best to do the serious things... and do everything possible to plunder the good things in Kaifeng City and give them to the Jin army!

In the past few days, there has been a strange scene in Kaifeng City, where the king-supporting troops are coming. There are so many villages outside the city. At the same time, the gates of Kaifeng City are always open, with people coming in and out, and they walk towards the golden camp with countless gold, silver and silk! These good things are not given to the soldiers who are seeking the king, but are given to the enemy!

In addition to money, there are also food, famous fruits, precious foods, and even imperial foods. Every day, the road is surrounded by caps and covers, and they are all people who carry delicious foods. There are foods and fun things. The Song Dynasty quickly brought out the imperial palace pearls and jade, antiques, treasure belts, and anthracites to send them. Unexpectedly, they didn't like the Jin army. They proposed to ask for live things such as prostitutes, rare birds, and elephants!

Give it! Give it whatever you want! The Song Dynasty sent a special person to continue to search for the people's wealth in his capital. This special person was very dedicated and had great achievements in searching for Kuo and blackmailing, so he left a great reputation in history - Wang Xiaodi, the Minister of the Secretariat. Wang Zhongshu had a high literary reputation. He said: fellow villagers, hand over all the money, otherwise the Jin army would kill them into the city, "kill all the men, capture all the women, burn all the palaces, and take all the gold and silver"? It was even more thorough than the "three lights" of the Japanese army more than 800 years later! For this reason, the people of Kaifeng ranked him along with Li Ye, the previous "Six Rushu" and named him "Six Sects" Zhongshu"

Such welcomes the Jin army's even worse and despicable ugly behavior! These savages in the white mountains and black waters suddenly became rich. For some reason, they actually dug the tombs of Song officials on the edge of Kaifeng City to make fun of it. This is unimaginable in China, but the Jin Kingdom was used to it. In recent years, the Jin Kingdom won the war to destroy the Liao Dynasty and seized the land. In addition to the people, they extended their hands to the graves of the ancestors of the Liao Dynasty! The Liao tomb is known for its rich burial, and every Liao tomb is a gold mine. The Jin army scattered a large group of people and tried every means to dig the graves. Even if the Liao tomb was buried in the deep mountains and forests, they could not escape their poisonous hands...

Song Qinzong Zhao Huan was finally angry! He was so troubled that his ancestors could not bear it! On the 7th, Li Gang, Li Bangyan, Zong Shidao, Yao Pingzhong, Zhe Yanzhi and others gathered in the Funing Hall, discussing how to beat the Jin people! This was exactly what Li Gang thought. These days, he observed carefully and thought carefully, and the whole set of plans was mature. At this time, the emperor was angry, which was a good opportunity to implement!

Li Gang said: The Jin people are used to making big noises, but in fact they are strong outside and do the middle. The enemy soldiers under the city are only 60,000, and more than half are all miscellaneous soldiers of the Khitan, Bohai and other tribes. They were originally mortal enemies of the Jin people, and the number of real Jurchen elite soldiers is only 10,000. Our king-sustaining troops have gathered to more than 00,000, several times that of the enemy, and they are enough to fight hard! But if you don’t fight...

We must disperse our troops, seize the enemy's rear, cut off the Yellow River line, and cut off the Jin army's food route. Then we strengthen the forces around Kaifeng, surround Moutuogang, strengthen the walls and clear the fields, and make a lasting plan. We wait for the Jin army to be tired and have too little food, but we still won't fight at that time...

Instead, they sent an envoy to force the Jin people to admit that the three northern towns were inherent territory of the Song Dynasty and would never cede them. They would only be allowed to return to their country if they agreed. The Jin people could only agree, but we kept our promise, withdrew the siege, and let them go...

When they leave the Moutuogang Fortress and approach the Yellow River Ferry, they are about to cross the river or cross the river, which is the best time for us to take action! By then, Wanyan Zongwang's troops will be buried all within the territory of the Song Dynasty. Our strength will not be greatly damaged...

This plan not only made Zhao Huan nod and other Western generals feel that it is very feasible. These steps are a trap, forcing the Jin people to jump... Maximize the advantages of the Song army in military strength and materials, and did not launch a decisive battle with the Jin army, but instead erode the vitality of the Jin army step by step, achieving the effect of the last annihilation!

To be fair, follow this plan, even if the final outcome is not as Li Gang expected to win or win, at least in terms of strategy and tactics, the Song Dynasty has done what it should do... so implement it?

It is difficult to implement, but it is easy to say. What is more troublesome is the action? You have to choose a good day? Choose... Who is qualified to choose? Who knows? In the end, everyone unanimously determined to find professional talents. So a warlock won the prize gloriously, and he will decide which day this extremely important day?

The warlock said that the 6th of 116th... All the officials of the Song Dynasty agreed, that's it that day!

On January 0, Song Qinzong took out the pearls and jade from the palace and piled them in Xuanhe Hall. To Li Qi, Zheng Wangzhi explained that he would send them to the Jin army tomorrow and not let the Jin army discover the Song Dynasty's actions...

On the 1st of the month, Li Fen and Zheng Wangzhi sent these jewelry to the Jin camp. Wanyan Zongwang accepted it, and left Zheng Wangzhi, and released Li Fen back... Very good! The Jin army was still in the dark and didn't know anything... It's still early to the 6th, everyone should be patient. While waiting, a person becomes more angry and anxious as he waits. The more anxious a person feels that fate is too unfair to him. This person is Yao Pingzhong...

Yao Pingzhong, the adopted son of Yao Gu, the second generation of the Yao family army of the Song Dynasty. He was very brave. He participated in the Battle of Zangdihe City at the age of 18, killed countless enemies, and became famous in the army. He was called the "Little Taiwei", or the uncrowned Jiedushi. This of course attracted the attention of the upper class, and Tong Guan summoned him. He thought this would be a pleasant meeting with a kind father and a filial son, but he did not expect Yao Pingzhong to be arrogant and not take the eunuch seriously. Tong Guan was furious: Can you fight, right? Have you made meritorious? The funds are deducted, and you will be rewarded with a pair of small shoes to wear!
