Chapter 207 Bingzhou Situation (Thirteen)
Kou Zhun was secretly delighted, so he pushed the boat along and said: "The son is more like a father, since your Majesty thinks King Xiang can do it, please make a decision."

The next day, Song Taizong announced that Xiang Wang Zhao Heng was Kaifeng Yin, changed his title to Shouwang, and later established him as the crown prince.

Song Taizong and the crown prince came back from visiting the ancestral temple. People in the capital crowded on both sides of the road beaming and competing to see the crown prince. At this time, someone in the crowd shouted "Youth Son of Heaven". After hearing this, Song Taizong was very unhappy and asked Kou Zhun:
"Where will I be placed if the hearts of the people turn to the prince?"

Kou Zhun congratulated him again and again and said: "The crown prince chosen by His Majesty is deeply popular, and this is a blessing for the country."

Song Taizong suddenly realized that he rewarded Kou Zhun for a drink, and got drunk. After that, Song Taizong relied more on Kou Zhun.

Someone presented a treasure to Song Taizong: a rhinoceros from the sky, and Song Taizong asked him to process it into two rhinoceros belts, one for his own use, and the other for Kou Zhun.

In the third year of Zhidao, Song Taizong passed away, and Prince Zhao Heng succeeded him, that is, Song Zhenzong, and Kou Zhun was appointed as the Minister of Shangshugong. Song Zhenzong wanted Kou Zhun to be the prime minister very early on, worrying that he would be too outspoken and difficult to do it alone.

The Liao Kingdom took advantage of the new establishment of the Song Dynasty, and harassed the border more frequently. In the second year of Xianping, the Liao Army defeated the Song Army at Gaoyang Pass, captured the Song Dynasty and deployed Kangbao descendants, and plundered them back.

In the sixth year of Xianping, the Liao army invaded Gaoyang Pass again, and the deputy capital of the Song army deployed Wang Jizhong, who was captured and surrendered to Liao. These two wars greatly shocked the Northern Song Dynasty court.

In the first year of Jingde, urgent documents on the frontier frequently circulated, saying that the Liao army was about to invade on a large scale again. In June of this year, Bi Shi'an, a political adviser, recommended Kou Zhun as Prime Minister to Song Zhenzong. Bi Shi'an said:
"Kou Zhun is endowed with loyalty and righteousness. He can decide major events. He will die for the country. He upholds morality and is jealous of evil. Now that the Northern Powers are invading, only Kou Zhun can resist the enemy and protect the country."

In August, Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an paid homage on the same day. In the first year of Jingde, Kou Zhun ranked under Bi Shi'an with the official position of a scholar of Jixian Hall.

In September, Yelu Longxu, Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, led an army of 20, set out from Youzhou, and marched southward.

The Liao army attacked Dingzhou by the Weilu army, but was blocked by the Song soldiers, so they turned their fronts to the southeast. When the Liao army went south and "went to the five nights in a hurry", most of the upper echelons of the Northern Song ruling group were terrified.

Wang Qinruo, a political adviser, was from Jiangnan and advocated moving the capital to Jinling. Chen Yaosou, a deputy privy envoy, was from Sichuan and proposed moving the capital to Chengdu.

They advocated using the method of avoiding the Liao state to deal with the invasion of the Liao state. Song Zhenzong had no intention of resisting the enemy, and he was even more panicked.

Only Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an firmly advocated resistance. When Song Zhenzong asked their opinions, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou happened to be present.

Kou Zhun knew in his heart that they were the ones who proposed the idea of ​​moving the capital, but he pretended not to know and said to Song Zhenzong:

"Who is the person who planned this plan for His Majesty? His crime can be beheaded. Now Your Majesty is a mighty emperor. The generals and civil servants are very united. If you personally lead the army, the enemy will naturally flee.

If this is not the case, surprise troops will be sent to disrupt the enemy's plan, hold the ground to wear down the enemy's morale, and make the enemy tired and exhausted.

Judging from the tired and comfortable situation of the enemy and ourselves, we are sure of victory. Why did we abandon the Taimiao Taishe and go to remote places like Chu and Shu?
The problem is that people's hearts are broken, and the enemy takes advantage of the situation, can the world still be preserved? "

Kou Zhun's opinion finally prevented the Compromise faction from fleeing to avoid the enemy. In order to eliminate Wang Qinruo's influence on Song Zhenzong, Kou Zhun transferred him from Song Zhenzong's side to the front line of the Tianxiong Army to defend against the Liao soldiers.

Kou Zhun sent spies to the frontline to scout the situation. Based on the analysis of the enemy's situation, he formulated a set of anti-enemy strategies. He pointed out:
"At present, the enemy has reached the east of Shenzhou and Qizhou, and our army is in Dingzhou and Weilu, and there is no garrison on the east road.

On the one hand, the Tianxiong Army should be dispatched with tens of thousands of infantry and cavalry to garrison Beizhou, and Sun Quanzhao should be sent to command it to cover up and kill the enemy;

In this way, the army's prestige can be boosted, people's hearts can be stabilized, the enemy's military deployment can be disrupted, and it can form a corner with the military strongholds of Xingzhou and Marshzhou for offensive and defensive purposes.

In case the enemy cavalry goes south to attack Beizhou, they should reinforce Dingzhou and attack northeast to contain the enemy's rear so that the enemy soldiers dare not fight in depth. "

At the same time, Kou Zhun especially emphasized that in order to boost morale and strive for greater victories, Song Zhenzong must cross the Yellow River and visit the front line in person.

On the one hand, Kou Zhun was fighting against the Compromisers, and on the other hand, he was actively preparing for war. He sent people to Hebei to organize and train outstanding youths among the peasants, and developed the militia team, and stipulated:

When the Hebei militiamen kill the enemy, the officers and troops they belong to should give solidarity; those who have made meritorious service in killing the enemy among the militiamen should also be rewarded.

Kou Zhun also sent people to bring money and goods to comfort the Hebei garrison, and handed over 30 taels of silver to the Hebei transshipment envoy to purchase military rations and enrich military resources.

In October, the Liao soldiers captured Qizhou, advanced southeast, passed through Beizhou, and went straight to the city of Chanzhou.

As a result, not only a large area of ​​Hebei fell into the enemy's hands, but also the capital Bianjing, which was only across a river, was also exposed to the threat of the Liao cavalry.

The facts are before us, and the only way out is to resolutely resist the enemy. The cowardly Song Zhenzong finally decided to conquer himself under the urging of Kou Zhun.

However, there are still many people in the ruling group who have no confidence in fighting against the enemy. Even Bi Shi'an, the prime minister at the time, used his illness and Taibaixing's appearance during the day as an excuse to be unlucky to the ministers. Personally make irresponsible remarks.

Under the urging of Kou Zhun, Song Zhenzong asked King Yong to stay in the capital, and drove north by himself. When the car drove slowly to Weicheng, the news that the Liao army was approaching came like a snowflake from the front.

Someone among the officials persuaded Zhenzong to go to Jinling to avoid the enemy's front, so Zhenzong wavered again. Kou Zhun knew how to grasp the morale of the army and the people and the military rule of "taking prestige and decisive victory".

He reminded Zhenzong that under the circumstances of the enemy's pressure and the crisis in all directions, he could only make progress and not retreat an inch.

Kou Zhun clearly pointed out that if you advance, your morale will increase, and if you retreat, everyone will collapse. Gao Qiong, the commander in front of the palace, also supports Kou Zhun's opinion.

Emperor Zhenzong of the Song Dynasty finally drove north to reach Chanzhou. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River still flowed through Chanzhou, dividing the city of Chanzhou into two.

The Liao army had arrived near the northern city. Song Zhenzong did not dare to cross the river, but only wanted to be stationed in the southern city. Kou Zhun tried his best to ask him to cross the river, but Zhenzong hesitated. Kou Zhun said to Gao Qiong:
"The Taiwei is indebted to the country for its kindness, do you plan to repay something today?"

Gao Qiong said: "I am a soldier, and I am willing to die for my country."

So Kou Zhun discussed with Gao Qiong, and they went to see Song Zhenzong together. Kou Zhun said to Song Zhenzong:

"If Your Majesty thinks that what I just said is not credible, you can ask Gao Qiong."

Before Zhenzong could speak, Gao Qiong said: "Kou Zhun's words are not unreasonable. The parents and wives of the soldiers accompanying the army are all in the capital. They would not be willing to abandon their families and flee to the south of the Yangtze River with you to move the capital."
