Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

If all places obey Zhang Bangchang's Chu State, then Zhang Shen is also ready to pledge allegiance to Chu State. If there are many opponents in the world, he will choose to go to the capital to kill the traitor Zhang Bangchang.

This time, Liu Guangshi, deputy chief of the Mabu Army on Yanyan Road, disagreed with him.

Liu Guangshi's father, Liu Yanqing, and elder brother Liu Guangguo were both killed in Guier Temple outside Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Therefore, Liu Guangshi is now a resolute anti-Jin and Song Dynasty general, demanding to immediately send troops to Bianliang City, Tokyo, to overthrow the false emperor Zhang Bangchang who was conferred by the Kingdom of Jin, and restore Zhao's rule over the world.

However, all the Zhao clan in Bianliang City, Tokyo, were wiped out by the Jin army, and all the descendants of the Supreme Emperor were taken away by the Jin army. Zhang Shen thought that there was no clan that was expected to be attached to, and he didn't know who to support.

When the situation in the world was uncertain, Zhang Shen opposed the lone army attacking Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Because if no one responds, Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi will be labeled as rebels of Chu State.

Liu Guangshi was very contemptuous of Zhang Shen's behavior of looking forward and backward, and they had a dispute in the camp.

Liu Guangshi was secretly wary of Zhang Shen's behavior of riding the wall, worried that he would suddenly fall to Zhang Bangchang and use himself as a certificate of merit to invite credit for rewards.

After returning to his barracks, Liu Guangshi closed the barracks, stepped up his guard, and took precautions against Zhang Shenjun.

Liu Guangshi decided that after dawn on the second day, he would take his troops from the Liu family army and split up with Zhang Shen's army, and then go their separate ways.

However, which clan members of the Zhao clan can be loyal to?When I leave Yingchang Mansion tomorrow, where should I go?

Just when Liu Guangshi was troubled, God gave him a chance. Zhao Shuxiang, the family member of the Zhao family, led the troops to Yingchang Mansion.

This Zhao Shuxiang is a descendant of Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei.Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei is the fourth brother of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Song Taizong Zhao Guangyi.

Back then, according to the system of "brothers end up with younger brothers", Zhao Kuangyin passed the throne to King Zhao Guangyi of Jin. Next, King Zhao Tingmei of Wei should inherit the throne of his third brother Zhao Guangyi.

In the early Song Dynasty, the heirs to the throne had to first serve as the governor of Kaifeng. During the reign of Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Guangyi held this post.

After Zhao Guangyi succeeded to the throne, Zhao Tingmei, king of Wei, was made the prefect of Kaifeng.

Judging from this arrangement, Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei is indeed the heir to the throne.Even Zhao Tingmei's son was called "Prince" at that time.

However, systems can be changed.

Zhao Guangyi didn't want to pass the throne to his fourth brother Zhao Tingmei and his elder brother Zhao Kuangyin's two sons, so he designed to frame them successively, making them lose the right to inherit the throne.

As a result, the throne of the Song Dynasty was passed down in Taizong's line.

However, now most of the clans of Emperor Taizong's lineage have been taken away by the Jin army, this Zhao Shuxiang of Wei Wang Zhao Tingmei's lineage has the ambition to aspire to the top, and tries to take the opportunity to seize the throne lost by his ancestors.

Zhao Shuxiang also had a bit of ability and luck. He was once surrounded by the Jin army in Bianliang City, Tokyo. When the outer city was captured by the Jin army, he took the opportunity to escape and ran to the Northwest Road area of ​​Beijing.

Liu Yanqing and other senior generals led tens of thousands of horses, but they did not break through safely, but Zhao Shuxiang was able to escape, it must be said that it was the blessing of heaven.

After running to the Northwest Road of Beijing, Zhao Shuxiang collected soldiers and horses, and unexpectedly gathered [-] soldiers and horses who were loyal to him.

However, it is of course impossible for such troops to defeat the Jin army. Zhao Shuxiang did not lead this team to rescue Bianliang City in Tokyo, but sat and watched the situation on Northwest Beijing Road.

Knowing that both the Supreme Emperor and the emperor were taken away by the Jin Army, and that the Jin State established Zhang Bangchang as the new emperor and established the Chu State, Zhao Shuxiang thought his chance had come.

After the Jin army withdrew, Uncle Zhao decided to take advantage of the situation and rushed into Bianliang City in Tokyo with his troops, forcing Zhang Bangchang to return the power to him.

At this time, Zhao Shuxiang learned that Zhang Shen, the envoy of the Yanyan Economic Strategy, and Liu Guangshi, the deputy commander of the Mabu Army on the Yanyan Road, were stationed in Yingchang Mansion, so he rushed to join the army with them, trying to persuade the two generals to support his restoration.

It should be said that the clan's signboard was quite effective. After Zhao Shuxiang stood up, Zhang Shen and Liu Guangshi Er General had someone to pledge their allegiance to, and they immediately reconciled and led troops to join Zhao Shuxiang's army.

Just when Zhao Shuxiang wanted to lead the army into Beijing with great ambition, he didn't know that Ximen Qing's army came to the city of Bianliang as soon as the Wanyanxi Yinjun and Wanyanchangjun evacuated from the city of Bianliang after the Jin army was broken.

Song Junqin King's troops in other places did not dare to get too close to the Jin army because they were afraid of the powerful Jin army.The appearance of an army like the Ximen Qing Army, which was almost on the heels of the Jin Army, was simply unexpected to the people of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

After Zhang Bangchang accepted the canonization of the Kingdom of Jin and officially took office as the emperor of the Great Chu regime, he also promoted several ministers who supported him.

Zhang Bangchang took Wang Shiyongquan, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, to lead the affairs of the ministers, Xu Bingzhe, governor of Kaifeng, led the Privy Council of Zhongshu Province, Wu Kaiquan, Minister of the Hanlin Chengzhi, Prime Minister Zuo, Prime Minister Mo Yuquan, Minister of the Imperial Academy, and Li Huiquan, the former signing of the Privy Council The Privy Council, the observation envoy Zuo Yanquan, the official affairs officer in front of the hall, the commander of Fan Qiongquan's four chambers, and the governor of Dali Zhou Yiwenquan, the prefect of Kaifeng.

When the Jin army withdrew, Wang Shiyong and other ministers were discussing matters with the emperor Zhang Bangchang, when they heard an urgent report that the rear of the Jin army had just left the city to the north, and an army of unknown origin took advantage of the situation to take over Nanxunmen, which occupied the outer city.

Although Zhang Bangchang is the emperor of Chu, his will is difficult to get out of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and the army in his hands is only Fan Qiong's more than 1 soldiers and horses.

At this time, an army with unknown enemy and us suddenly appeared, and even occupied the gate of the outer city in one fell swoop, which surprised Zhang Bangchang and his ministers.

As soon as the golden army disappeared, this army appeared, and the two sides seemed to have a tacit understanding, as if they were changing defenses.This made Ximen Qingjun even more mysterious in the eyes of Zhang Bangchang and his ministers.

Fan Qiong, the commander of the four chambers, took full command of the Forbidden Army in the capital. After the Jin army withdrew from the outer city wall, his soldiers and horses should have controlled the outer city.

Now that the gate of the outer city has been seized, Fan Qiong is very embarrassed in front of Zhang Bangchang and his ministers.

"Don't be alarmed, Your Majesty, I will lead the troops to Nanxun Gate to find out the truth!"

Fan Qiong turned around and was about to leave the hall.

"General Fan, deal with it carefully, and don't start a light conflict with the opponent. The people in the city have suffered from military disasters for several months, and they can't stand another war! Remember, peace is the most important thing!"

Zhang Bangchang hurriedly exhorted.

"As the prefect of Kaifeng, I have the responsibility to maintain the law and order of the capital. I will go with Commander Fan to find out what's going on, so as not to cause riots in the city!"

Zhou Yiwen, governor of Kaifeng Prefecture, also left Wende Hall with Fan Qiong.

Zhang Bangchang and the officials in the palace also had no intention of discussing matters anymore, and waited anxiously for Fan Qiong's reply.

At this time, Jiang Zhongbu, the former army of the Ximen Qing Army, had taken over the southern city wall of the outer city of Bianliang City in Tokyo from the Wanyan Xiyin Department of the Jin Army, and controlled Nanxunmen, Xuanhuamen, Anshangmen and Caihe's upper and lower water gates. Lishuimen and Pujishuimen.

The Luan Tingyu Department of the Left Army controlled the Wansheng Gate and the Bianhe West Water Gate of the west city wall of Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Lu Zhishen, the right army, also occupied Chaoyang Gate, Tongjin Gate and Shangshan Water Gate of Bianhe River on the east wall of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

Ximenqing's central and rear troops set up camp in Yujin Garden, Qingcheng, where Wanyan Zonghan had camped, waiting to meet Emperor Zhang Bangchang of Chu.

Chapter 959 Fan Qiong is Soft

Fan Qiong, commander of Quan Sixiang, and Zhou Yiwen, governor of Quan Kaifeng, left Wende Palace, gathered a team outside Xuande Gate, walked south on Yujie Avenue, exited Zhuque Gate, and hurried to Nanxun Door.

When approaching Nanxun's gate, thousands of troops had gathered behind Fan Qiong, ready to take back Nanxun's gate.

Seeing this, the people in the southern city of the outer city thought that another war was about to break out, and they complained endlessly. Tuo'er and the old fled towards the inner city and the north city.

At this time, in order not to disturb the people, Ximenqing only let the three generals Jiang Zhong, Luan Tingyu and Lu Zhishen occupy the city wall, and did not send troops into the urban area of ​​the outer city.

Fan Qiong led his troops across the Longjin Bridge over the Caihe River, and came to the tower of Nanxun Gate. When he looked up, he couldn't help but gasp.

I saw many armored heavy infantry standing densely on the tower of Nanxun Gate, in the urn city, and on the wall of the south city.

These heavy infantry were tall, with distinctive armor, and they were full of energy. They lined up neatly on the city wall and in the urn.
