The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

While Zhao Qi was dispatching troops in Yingzhou, the commander of the Jin army in the west was Zong Han ordered the army in Quanbo to be stationed in Fengshengzhou, but Tong Guan ordered Ma Kuo, and Xin Xingzong brought the military letter to Zong Han.

They were in negotiations and asked them to hand over the matters in Weizhou and to find out whether the Jin army really had an attempt to invade the south.

Before Tong Guan left, he told Ma to lower his posture when he came to the Jin army, not to get involved in the details of etiquette, and to show his trump card, and only negotiate with them to deliver Feihu and Lingqiu counties, and the rest of the places could be given to the Jin Kingdom.

He also held his mouth to recover the lost ground, and did not make any preparations in military terms!

"Zonghan's Western Route Army gathered nearly 100,000 people in Fengshengzhou, and the intention was very obvious. Their targets were one of the Hedong area and the other was the Xijing area." Zhao Qi pointed to the large map hanging on the wall.

He said, "Now the intelligence shows that the target of the Jin army is more focused on the Hedong region, but our Xijing side is also facing tremendous pressure, especially the Tiancheng County and Hongzhou areas of Xijing Prefecture, and Shuozhou and Yingzhou!"

"Prince, how do you judge that their target is Hedong? Maybe Zonghan wants to avenge Aguda's defeat in his personal expedition. If we concentrate our troops on the east route, the Jin army attacked Xijing from the north, and the troops in Yuanzhou and Dezhou are weak.

If you are unable to return to help, Xijing City will be in a passive position!" Zhao Yong said.

"Yes, Prince, there is only one brigade and one garrison brigade in Dezhou, but it has to be responsible for the defensive task of a frontier of hundreds of miles. Although Yelu Yuxi has more than 20,000 under his command, he still has to guard against the Xia in Dongshengzhou.

The army, the Jin army in Yunnei, and the Second Brigade of Shuozhou were all transferred to Yingzhou, where there were only a few thousand state troops. No matter where the Jurchens broke through, the most threatened one was Shuozhou!" Zhang, the commander of the Second Brigade of the Kru Army,

Park said.

"I agree with the prince's judgment. Now the Jin army is posing a joint attack between the east and west, so it is not difficult to see that the Jin army launched this southern invasion with the goal of our Song Dynasty Bianjing. It is precisely because of the failure of Aguda's personal expedition.

.Zong Han would not choose the route of Xijing City to go south, but instead took the shortcut of Weizhou. Hengshan in Weizhou can also cover his flanks as a barrier to avoid our attacks. Of course, it is not ruled out that Zong Han will send him out.

The partial army attacked the states of our Xijing to restrain our army, so that they could safely go south to capture Yingzhou and then invade Hedong!" Zhao Xin said.

"If we take over Weizhou and control various mountain valleys, can we stop Zonghan's troops from going south?" Zhao Yong suggested that if we control the valley, we only need a few troops to defend ourselves with the risk of blocking the enemy several times that of ours.

.This is the most powerful way to save troops, and most of the troops can be used in other battlefields.

"It's too late now. Nianhan has ordered the Changsheng Army, who defected from Longde Prefecture, to send troops to Fanzhi County, Wutai Mountain, and Changsheng Army, who defected from Yizhou, to fly fox and Lingqiu County, to rush to the border to find out our quest.

The edge is the real and the real." Zhao Qiong said. At this time, intelligence transmission is difficult. When the intelligence officers from Weizhou crossed mountains and ridges to send the information out, the enemy had already arrived.

"What does the prince Chen Bing Hunyuan mean?" Zhao Yong asked. Since the prince already knew that the valley was controlled by the enemy, the situation had reversed, and it would be no easy task to capture the valley again.

What's the point of mobilizing military force here?

"The problem now is that we cannot accurately judge which of the two teams that the enemy went south is the main force and which one is the partial division!" Zhao Qi did not answer Zhao Yong's question. He stood up and walked back to the map and said, "Go from Weizhou to the road."

Lingqiu attacked Fanzhi, then attacked Daizhou and then went south to Taiyuan. This road seemed smooth, but it had to capture two passes, Pingxingzhai and Yanmen Pass; it seemed difficult to walk the Xijing road. But they could bypass the West.

The capital city avoids a tough battle, and heads south along the Sanggan River. Take Yingzhou to the south, and there are no dangerous passes along the way, but it can be reached under the city of Taiyuan. This depends on whether the Jin army thinks Yanmen is easy to survive or Yingzhou is easy to attack!"

"If I had walked the Sanggan River line, it was already severe winter, the river valley was dry, and even if there was water, it was frozen, so there was no problem with people passing by. But it would take some effort to pass through Yanmen.

There are tens of thousands of Yisheng troops in the village, and they can be blocked even if they only defend but not attack!" said Li Lei, the commander of the Third Brigade of the Kruel Army.

"Well, now the Jin army only sent the surrendered troops out of Lingqiu to explore the way, which also means that they are not sure that they can take down Yanmen Pass, so the main force may send troops from Fengshengzhou. If our army is unknown, we will definitely shrink our troops and defend Xijing City with all our strength.

But they flew around Xijing City and diverted to the Sanggan River Valley to move south quickly. Although there were small cities such as Jincheng, Heyin and Mayi on the way, the Jin army had strong troops and could attack or surround them, not only to go all the way than Yanmen

!” Zhang Pu said.

The prince's words made everyone suddenly realize that they were stationed in Hunyuan. Going north, you could reach the Sanggan River to cut off the route of the Jin army to the south and reinforce Xijing City; going south can reinforce Shuozhou, and if the situation permits, you could go to Hedong to threaten the flanks of the Jin army and copy them.

Its retreat was even able to attack Weizhou under necessary circumstances, control the Yukou where the Jin army went south, and trap the Jin army to death in Hedong.

"The Jin army went south to attack Song. The purpose of our military use in Xijing is to gradually fight and consume the Jurchens' strength, win time for Hedong and even Taiyuan to prepare for war, and then fight against the Jurchens under Taiyuan City!

” Zhao Qiong said.

Now many people in the court still fantasize about the relationship between Song and Jin, which can use annual monies and silver to buy a border peace from the Jin Kingdom, just like the relationship between Song and Liao, while the Jurchens fully utilized the court's psychology

, the left and right groups sent envoys to the Song Dynasty, in name to celebrate the major victory in cooperation between the two countries and celebrate the birth of Emperor Song, in fact, they sent envoys to secretly investigate the mountains, rivers and terrain of the Song Dynasty. On the other hand, it was also to create the wish of the Jin Dynasty and

The Song Dynasty maintained the illusion of the status quo, paralyzed the Song Dynasty, and prepared for the invasion of the south. What Zhao Qi could do in Xijing was to remind them!

This operation set the tone, and everyone formulated combat plans and assigned combat tasks around the possible wars. Of course, the prince was not convenient to come forward. Zhao Yong was responsible for commanding the commander, and Zhao Xin assisted Zhao Yong as the deputy general, and the prince brought it.

The infantry of a brigade of loyal and brave army was also assigned to them to fight, while the prince's guard brigade was still serving as the reserve force.

The plan has been decided, and it has arrived, and it is not necessary to say that it is a big family who eats the prince again. Of course, to celebrate the prince's marriage with the second wife, add vegetables and wine, and Zhao Xin also wants to do his best to be a bride's friendship with the landlord and borrow some money from the prince.

He generously bought cattle and sheep to reward the old subordinates and the generals of the loyal and brave army. The separation was better than the newlyweds. After drinking and eating, the prince would certainly not let Zhao Xin go back to the camp. Before everyone could say goodbye, he couldn't wait to pull his wife to take a bath.

It's...

………

Tong Guan was disturbed by the news collected every day. All signs indicate that the Jurchens' military troops were not intended to conduct a joint military exercise with the Song people on the border. Their responsibilities are as follows: Tong Gonggong, he asked to abolish all areas in Hebei.

The words of the garrison are still heard. It is the Jurchens who invaded the south immediately. Isn’t this intentional convenience for others? So he sent Ma Kuo and Xin Xingzong to the Nianhan army again, hoping that through his own efforts, Nianhan would not invade the south. Otherwise, the government would pursue the matter.

As a result, even though Tong Guan was already a prince, he was afraid that he would be unable to escape the punishment.

Ma Kuo knew that Nianhan had always been a representative of hard-line figures who opposed the return of Yanjing land. In order to achieve his goal, he would not hesitate to compliment Nianhan against his will, but he still refused to change his mind, so he had to give up and show his Tong Guan.

Its trump card - only delivers Feihu and Lingqiu County. As for other places, the Song people have voluntarily given up and expressed their regret. If they agree, they will tell them the exact delivery time. If they have anything to do in the future, they will be informed of the exact delivery time.

, I will definitely try my best to satisfy myself, but the result is still in vain!

Just when Ma Kuo was still talking to Zong Han, the eastern troops led by Han Libu fought unannounced, and set out from Pingzhou to attack Qingzhou first, and captured Chanzhou on November 26.

On the eighth day, the Jin army went to Jizhou again. On December 2, Guo Yaoshi went to Yanshan Prefecture to ask Cai Jing whether to attack the Jin army, but Cai Jing asked the Changsheng Army to continue to station in the eastern suburbs of Yanshan Prefecture, and only asked him to send Zhang Linghui.

Liu Shunren and his two armies attacked the Jin army. When Ma Guangyu returned to Taiyuan Xuanfusi, it was not known that the Jin army led by Han Libu had already captured a large area of ​​land in Yanshan.

Ma Kuo reported the negotiation results to Tong Guan, saying that it seemed that the Jin army's invasion in the south was almost a foregone conclusion. Tong Guan was shocked after hearing this! Three days later, Zong Han sent Wang Jieru and Salumo to the Taiyuan Xuanfu Department to send him

But it was an ultimatum. After seeing Tong Guan, they clearly told other countries with an extremely arrogant attitude that Nianhan had decided to use troops against the Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan still had fantasies and asked with kind words why the Jin Kingdom had to use force, saying that everything could be discussed. Wang Jieru gave the conditions that the Song Dynasty could not accept, 'Cece the land of Hedong and Hebei, with the Yellow River as the boundary',

Only then can we stop the army and repair it...

The reality is cruel. In fact, on the same day as the Jin envoy entered Taiyuan, Zong Han had already raised an army to lead the army south, and sent envoys to cover their eyes and ears. The way Tong Guan, who was unprepared for the war, can be imagined after learning the news.

While urgently ordering Ma Kuo to draft the memorial overnight, he is ready to escape from the dangerous city.

On the seventh day of Xuanfu Office, Tong Guan asked Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Taiyuan Prefecture, to discuss matters together. It was better to report the matters. He actually left the guard land on the name of personally reporting the situation on the front line to the court, but instead blamed the responsibility of defending the land to the

Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, tried hard to persuade Tong Guan to stay in Taiyuan, but he was scolded. Tong Guan actually said that he was just a Xuanfu envoy, not a local custody, and the responsibility for local custody belonged to local officials!

Zhang Xiaochun didn't expect that Tong Guan was so afraid of the enemy. When things happened, he was afraid that it would be like this. He laughed so furiously and ridiculed Tong Guan in front of everyone, and said that he was defending Taiyuan to the death. The city was there, and the city was destroyed and I died... (Unfinished
