At that time, the main battlefield strategy of the Jin army's middle route was to divide the troops into three routes and directly run directly into Jianghuai. The first route was Xiao Qi, led 100,000 cavalry from Huayan Town, passed through Dingyuan County, Outang Pass, Qingliu Pass, Chuzhou, and Zhenzhou, and the final destination was Yangzhou. Later, the crossing estuary was captured, attacked Jiankang, and thus occupied Jiangnan. The other two routes had nothing to do with Shao Hongyuan, only Xiao Qi was mentioned.

Xiao Qi was unknown among the many military generals of the Jin Kingdom. He was a former nobleman of the Liao Kingdom. He barely had ten thousand households in the Jin Kingdom and was a very marginal person. It could be said that if Wanyan Liang had not been too cruel to kill the Jin Kingdom royal family, no one would use it, even if Xiao Qi was capable, it would not be his turn to be the vanguard official in the middle.

The 100,000 Jin troops first captured Outang Pass. This was expected, but the next step Xiao Qi was impressive. This man sent only a few hundred cavalry to attack Qingliu Pass in the west gate of Chuzhou! I remember that when Zhao Kuangyin was in the Later Zhou Dynasty, he broke Qingliu day and night and conquered Chuzhou, and brought 5,000 elite troops! But times changed, the current Qingliu Pass natural danger and Chuzhou's strong city were no longer the same as before. Hundreds of Jin cavalry conquered Qingliu Pass, and Chuzhou's guards fled without fighting. After Chuzhou, Zhenzhou...

If you want to reach Zhenzhou, you must first cross the Chu River. This river is narrow and moderate in width and abundant in water. It is difficult to get over it. Xiao Qi was standing on the shore, wondering whether to find a boat? Or to demolish houses and build a pontoon bridge? A local man came to lead the way. This man was named Ou Da, and he said with great sincerity that there was no need to demolish and build it. It would take too much time to go. There was a dry road to bypass this river and reach Zhenzhou... Ou Da's expression was very traitorous, and Xiao Qi believed it.

A hundred thousand Jin troops detoured from Zhugang Town and crossed the Chu River. After crossing the river, they found that Liuhe County was ahead... The road was right, but they just went around a big circle. Xiao Qi was angry and was surprised that while the official official zero resistance and escaped, there were still people who dared to obstruct the Jin army? He was hesitating whether to kill this Ou Da? Or collect it as a rare product? Reporting in front: Suddenly he encountered the fierce resistance of the regular army of the Southern Song Dynasty! The person who came was the Zhenzhou garrison of the Southern Song Dynasty, named Shao Hongyuan!

Before this, Shao Hongyuan's resume was as pink and pale as Xiao Qi, and he was unknown and could not find any glorious achievements. After the war began, the two of them were somewhat similar, and they were both unexpected.

Xiao Qi drove straight into the sky, broke through the natural danger, defeated the famous city, as if he had entered a no-man, which surprised Wanyan Liang. On this side, he had a strong combat power, and more because the Southern Song army collectively degenerated, headed by the royal power, and fled at the moment of war...

At this time, Xiao Qi ran happily and tried hard to reach the most important pass Yangzhou. Suddenly, his vanguard was severely blocked. The location was Xupu Bridge outside the north gate of Zhenzhou City. Shao Hongyuan sent most of his troops here, with three generals responsible for doing his best to block the Jin army's advance!

This is rare since the war started. In the tide of cowardice and dirty, unaware of the so-called deformed retreat, this is very eye-catching! Not only is it blocking, but it is also a blocking attack from the city, which has a very active challenge!

Xiao Qi responded very decisively. He ordered the entire army to press forward. First, the overwhelming rain of arrows shot, suppressing the Song army from looking up. Then a large number of straw was thrown into the river. Soon there was no river. The Jin army cavalry faced Shao Hongyuan's troops...

Shao Hongyuan has a certain degree of hardness. Before the heavy pressure of the 100,000 Jin army, he persisted until all three leading generals were killed and the army was greatly reduced, and then ordered to withdraw from the battle. Zhenzhou City could not go back, and almost all the military power there was on Xupu Bridge. Going back at this time was equivalent to trapping the dangerous city and waiting for death. So Shao Hongyuan led the remaining troops to retreat to the beach...

Xiao Qi, who was defeated on the other side, quickly left the battlefield. Zhenzhou was close to him, but he ignored him. His mission was to open up the Jianghuai channel as quickly as possible and seize the Jiangkou for the main force of Wanyan Liang's central army behind. Yangzhou was his destination. Zhenzhou and all the cities in front were optional for him... So Xiao Qi moved forward and went straight to Yangzhou!

Looking back at the Battle of Xupu Bridge in Zhenzhou. Shao Hongyuan, the scum in the army, fought a very tough battle, and it can even be said that he was too tough to be harder. He deserves to be Han Shizhong's soldier! But it's a pity that Shao Hongyuan does not have the uninformed combat power of Han Shizhong, and he always wins! This is impossible to replicate. He fought head-on like an old leader, but it is useless...

The Jin army did not stop it, and he suffered heavy casualties and basically lost his combat effectiveness. From this point of view, he was an unqualified general. When the national crisis came, he only knew how to fight bravely. To put it better, it was a commendable spirit, but it was a little bit... This was not a material to command the battle of a large corps!

But in a few years, the process and results of this battle, and even the meaning will undergo earth-shaking changes! First of all, the outcome of the victory and defeat changed. Shao Hongyuan changed from a loser to a winner. "In October of the 31st year of Shaoxing, the commander of the Busi, Shao Hongyuan, resisted the captives at Xupu Bridge in Zhenzhou and won the victory." The highlights are not only the last word "winning", but also the word "winning". Just look at this sentence, Shao Hongyuan used a city to resist the 100,000 Jin troops, leaving the Jin army away from Zhenzhou, and even the edge of the city gate was not stuck!

How about it? Is it fierce? It just conforms to historical facts! Xiao Qi really didn't go into Zhenzhou City!

Judging from the significance, the Battle of Xupu Bridge in Zhenzhou will be ranked among the first military achievements of Zhongxing summarized by the Southern Song Dynasty, and will become a heroic and model deeds that will last forever and be remembered forever. So, why can a small Shao Hongyuan be ranked among these thirteen? Can he be comparable to famous Zhongxing generals such as the Wu brothers, Han Shizhong, Liu Qi? There is only one answer - the direct line!

Although Shao Hongyuan is a scum in the army, he is an official recognized by the Southern Song Dynasty! When he needs to set a heroic example, he will always think of him at the first time! So he shines and heats up and glorifies for the ages...

At this time, Liu Qi's army in Shao Botai learned that the Jin army was attacking Zhenzhou, and was afraid that Yangzhou would not defend, and the military was confused. When the detective came to report that the Song Dynasty flag was still floating on Yangzhou City, Liu Qi decisively said, "Although Zhenzhou is lost, Yangzhou is still guarded by the country, so we should advance quickly." So he quickly entered from the northern gate of Yangzhou. The pacifier Liu Ze came to see Liu Qi, saying that Yangzhou City could not be defended, and persuaded Liu Qi to retreat to Guazhou. Liu Qi ordered: All the troops rest, Xu Tu's direction... Even if they were to withdraw from Yangzhou, the commander of the ghost soldiers Liu Qi would still fight the last battle of his life here! He gave Wanyan Liang a huge blow and gave the Southern Song Dynasty a great victory [31 Novel Network                                                                                                                                                       

On the 0th, Ren Tianxi recovered Shangzhou. Zhao Xian, who was on the Xinyang Army on the North Road of Jinghu, learned that the main force of the Jin army had moved to the lower reaches of the Huai River, and decisively decided to cross the Huai River and attack Caizhou on the Nanjing Road of the Jin Kingdom. On the 1st, Zhao Xian captured Baoxin County, Caizhou.

The royal family falsely passed the imperial edict to "abandon the city to defend the river" and fled from Hezhou again, and fled to Dongcaishi in Taiping Prefecture, the south bank of the Yangtze River. The Jin army entered Hezhou.

On the day, Zhao Gou urgently appointed a group of people in order to replace the royal power and defend the Yangtze River defense line: Liu Cen was the Imperial Camp's Transportation Commander, Li Xianzhong was the Imperial Camp's Pioneer Commander, Li Peng was the Former Army Commander, Miao Ding was the Right Army Commander, Guo Zhen was the Left Army Commander, Liu Rui was the Central Army Commander, and Li Xianzhong ordered troops to station in Wuhu, Taiping Prefecture, to guard the opposite bank of the Yangtze River, and Yuxikou in Hezhou. He also ordered Jiankang Prefect Zhang Tao to take office as soon as possible to appease the people in the city.

Zhao Xian continued northward to Xincai County, and defeated the Jin army again on the way.

Liu Qi withdrew from Yangzhou City with a huge baggage population and retreated to more than 0 kilometers south, located at the northern bank of Guazhou Town Ferry at the intersection of the lower reaches of the Yangzhou Ancient Canal and the Yangtze River. Liu Ze, the governor of Yangzhou, also fled to Pingjiang Prefecture. Behind them, Yangzhou City was empty, all the houses outside the city were burned, and nothing was left in the city. What appeared were slogans written on the wall, "Wanyan Liang died here." At that time, it was a little curse of anger, and no one would take it seriously. However, it was these words that affected the end of the entire war soon!

On the 4th, Zhao Gou issued an order, "This time, the central palace and the inner people will not go. I will only go with King Jian, and I want to let everyone know all the generals." At the same time, he ordered King Jian Zhao Wei's teacher Shi Hao to follow the journey. Since Wanyan Liang invaded the south, all the courts have been shocked and terrified. Zhao Wei was alone and was not afraid.

At that time, Zhao Gou's nature was escaping, and he was determined to float back to the sea, so that his feet would not stick to the continent. Zhao Wei suddenly broke out and applied to lead an army to fight! Zhao Wei was thriving from Song Taizu's proud blood, and he had a natural disgust for dirty behaviors such as escape, cowardice, surrender, and self-destruction! At this time, he really couldn't bear it anymore! Why did he run away? He asked himself again and again, would he want to do this? No! What he wanted was a counterattack!

The crown prince asked for a fight, and the impact on the Southern Song Dynasty was even more serious than that of Wanyan Liang. Zhao Gou was popular at that time! He would rather have a friendly country than a slave! Zhao Wei was a little dog he raised since childhood. How could he make his own decisions against his master's wishes? It was simply a rebellious! Fortunately, his anger did not last long, and a latest report from Zhao Wei was called...

Zhao Wei no longer asked for a fight, but asked to follow him, Zhao Wei would go wherever he went, and continue to be his most respectful "son" Zhao Gou, Lao Huai, Dachang, and felt that he was sitting in the center of the world again...

That night, Wang Quan fled from Dongcaishi to Jiankang and immediately fled back to Dongcaishi. Because Wanyan Liang's army had arrived at Yanglindu, Xicaishi. Wang Quan and Taiping Prefect Wang Fu were also unable to figure out whether the Jin army was going to attack Dongcaishi or Xicaishi. Anyway, it was just one word: escape!

The news received by the Southern Song Dynasty court was even more terrifying! Not to mention quarrying in the east or quarrying in the west, the court even had rumors that the Jin army had crossed the Yangtze River! It was even more scary. I quickly sent people to find Dangtu and Liyang people in the alleys to ask where Yang Lin was. A local man who was looking for at the second update of the night and learned that the Jin army was now at Yanglin and the ferry crossing in the west was shocked and calmed down...

On the 5th, Zhang Jun was reinstated as the magistrate of Tanzhou, and Tang Pengju was reinstated as the governor of Taiping.

Zhao Xian captured Pingxing County and approached Caizhou Prefecture City step by step. In the battlefield in Shaanxi, Liu Wan conquered Fuqiang City in Qinzhou. Wu Lin sent Xiang Qi and his son Wu Ting to attack Jingyuan Road. In Zhipingzhai of Deshun Army, he defeated more than 2,000 cavalry of the Jin army, and killed his generals, and captured hundreds of people alive.

On the same day, Wanyan Bao's sect, Yilawowo, went to surrender to the leader of the first Khitan uprising of the same clan and surname as his.

On the 6th, in the Battle of Zaojiao Forest in Yangzhou, Liu Qi, the commander of the ghost soldier, created the last victory in his life, laying the foundation for Yu Yunwen's great victory in quarry!

The Yangzhou City and Guazhou Town Ferry Crossing are only more than 0 kilometers. This distance is only half a day in marching, but it becomes as far away as the world. The Jin army vanguard troops have already killed behind Liu Qi. The person who came was Gao Jingshan, the main envoy of the Jin Dynasty who announced the death of Song Qinzong in the Southern Song Hall last time.

This man showed off his power in the imperial court in the south of the Yangtze River, and then led his troops south, which really bullied the Song people from bottom to bottom. He looked like a violent and powerful man in all directions, right? But he felt very tired of him. He felt that he was the most depressed and sad vanguard officer since the Great Jin Dynasty started the war!

In people's conventional consciousness, Wanyan Liang has killed all over the world in Jin Dynasty. So what will happen to Jiangnan? I guess he will knock on bones and suck marrow and collect human skin as souvenirs? As his pioneer officer, he must kill corpses with the fastest efficiency to become a sea of ​​blood.

No! Wanyan Liang is a romantic poet who pursues perfection. Building palaces requires ultimate results, and fighting wars requires outstanding taste! He feels that he is an evolved Jurchen, and he can no longer be as savage and crude as his grandfathers and uncles. He ordered this southern expedition to be a war that reflects culture. It is necessary to burn, kill, lust or rob, and let the Song people deeply realize that being a minister of the Great Jin Dynasty is a happy...

According to records, a small Jin army soldier habitually threw a torch into a Song people's residence, causing a small fire, which caused Wanyan Liang to behead him and ordered his head to beheaded!

How could Gao Jingshan feel so good? He had to put all his energy into the marching and at an unprecedented speed, he rushed to catch up with the Song army before Liu Qi crossed the north of the river. The location was Zaojiao Forest 0 miles south of Jiangdu County, Jiangsu Province...

This woods are next to the ancient Yangzhou Canal. This river is famous, the Yangzhou section of the Grand Canal that made Emperor Yang of Sui lose all his money and later made it cheaper. This section is the oldest in the entire canal system, with the narrowest corresponding river channel and the most lushest vegetation. These combined together mean that the terrain is the most complex.

On that day, Gao Jingshan saw a group of Song soldiers running away from afar. He was happy. The desperate pursuit of these days finally had an effect. There was a big river in front and a pursuer behind. Let's see where you escape! He ignored the river and the Song soldiers, and there were something else between him - the soapcorn forest and the ancient canal beside the forest!

Song Bing ran to the forest desperately, as if he would be safe after entering the forest. Gao Jingshan chased them with great enthusiasm and finally stopped them before entering the forest. The fierce battle began!
