One Piece of Song Dynasty

At this time, Yao Pingzhong had retreated, and the Jin army's cavalry still appeared from time to time. Li Gang commanded the Song army and the Jin army to fight fiercely at Mutianpo. The Jin army was defeated and captured many people. The Song army also paid a heavy price, and general Chen Fu was killed in battle.

After a while, the Jin army concentrated its forces and launched a fierce charge towards the Song army's center. Upon seeing this, Li Gang immediately ordered the firing of the divine arm bow. The God's Arm Bow was relatively lethal to the cavalry, so the Jin army retreated.

After the Jin army retreated, Li Gang and all the troops from the Xingying Division camped outside the city.

That night, Zheng Wangzhi stayed in Jinying and lived with Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang. They all expressed their opinions on the current situation freely, and the conversation was very exciting, and they did not fall asleep until midnight. About four o'clock in the morning, a Jinjun governor named Liu suddenly ran into the room and shouted to them: "My lords, get up, your family and horses are coming to fight."

They quickly got up and looked outside. There was a fire burning in front of the Chinese army's main tent. The fire was bright and lit up the sky brightly.

Zhao Gou was quite horrified. He did not expect that the emperor would send troops to rob the camp. Zheng Wangzhi comforted him quietly and said: "If Wang Shi wins, the Jin people will not dare to harm me, because they want to use me to seek peace. If the Jin people win, the king has been outside the city for half a month, how can he predict that the stronghold will be robbed and should not be afraid."

Zhao Zaozhao thought about it and felt that Zheng Wangzhi's words were reasonable, and he felt a little relieved.

After dawn, Zong Wang sent someone to invite Zhao Gou, Zhang Bangchang and Zheng Wangzhi to meet in front of the big tent. In order to create a scene and atmosphere, the Jin people erected hundreds of flags in front of the tent and tied up dozens of prisoners, all of whom were newly captured Song army generals.

Zong Wang sternly questioned Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang. Zhao Gou remained calm, while Zhang Bangchang cried in fear. After repeated questioning, Zhang Bangchang finally explained: "It must not be the case of the imperial court. It may be that the teachers of the Qinwang from all over the world came to rob the stronghold because they were loyal and united with each other."

Zong Wang said: "Waiting for the thieves to come, how could there be so many thieves? I can only say that the court doesn't know."

After a long time, the Jin talents stopped questioning and asked Zhao Gou and Zhang Bangchang to return to their bases, leaving only Zheng Wangzhi behind. A grand master named Han Lu conveyed Zong Wang's order to Zheng Wangzhi, saying: "Whoever comes to discuss peace with the minister should go to the camp of the king of Dutong." The king of Dutong is the mother of the king.

Han Lu acted as a guide in front, leading Zheng Wangzhi to the north. "Through the camp gate, the bend can be sixty or seventy miles, and it starts at the place where the stronghold is established. In fact, it does not go further than ten or twenty miles, so it is a circuitous way to show the prosperity of the crowd." It can be seen from this that the Jin people are very scheming.

It wasn't until late at night that they arrived at the Dutong King's camp. All the followers stayed outside the camp, and Zheng Wangzhi was "guarded with swords and swords" by the Jin people. After meeting the king's mother, she asked: "The minister first announced the peace agreement, but now we are using troops to fight against each other. The minister, Bao, will not die. To be honest, why is the court using troops?"

Zheng Wangzhi asked: "How can I be willing to go out of the city and commit suicide if I know that the imperial court is using troops as before?"

The mother asked again: "Then, who is the result?"

Zheng Wangzhi then replied: "If you think that King Qin has his own intention, if the imperial court orders it, then the envoy will deceive the great country; if it is directly said that the imperial court orders the attack, then if the army of King Qin actually does it, it will also be deceiving the great country. If To tell the truth, you really don’t know your ears. Nowadays, people are doing things outside the wall, and their ears and eyes are not connected, so they can’t support them. What’s more, if they are in the countryside, how can they know the name of the commander of the army?”

After hearing this, Mu Mu calmed down her words, slowly expressed her condolences, and finally said: "Young Master, please go and have a rest. I'll see you in the morning."

The next day, Zheng Wangzhi returned to Zongwang Military Camp, and his subordinates were surprised and asked: "How can I return it?"

Zhang Bangchang said: "Prince Kang wept for the Duke last night because I heard from people in the army that anyone who passes the king's camp is not in good faith."

After a while, Zheng Wangzhi went to Wang Rui and asked to return to the city. Wang Ru said: "The princess proposed peace, and the soldiers followed suit. The prince, the king, doubts the king's heart. You know that the general camp of the capital is in danger. I am lucky to escape from it. I can't say how to return."

Regarding Yao Pingzhong's night attack on Jinying, Song Qinzong thought it would definitely succeed. He looked forward to the good news of a complete victory in the early morning. However, in the early morning of the second day of the first lunar month, Zai Zhi and Tai Jian jointly reported: "The troops of King Qin of the Western Army and the soldiers of the personal expedition camp were wiped out by the enemy, and there are no survivors."

Song Qinzong was shocked when he heard the news. He did not expect that Yao Pingzhong failed in his attack and lost the rice. He hurriedly issued an edict, ordering all armies not to advance.

Zong Wang was very angry about the Song army's robbery of the camp. In order to find out where the soldiers came to rob the camp, on the morning of the second day of the first lunar month, he sent people into the city and wrote a letter to Song Qinzong. The book said: "Prince Da Jin, Du Jing Lue The Disposal Envoy and the two commanders, Orabu and others, would like to write to the emperor of the Song Dynasty: At the fourth watch of the night on the first day of this month, infantry and cavalry troops marched northward along the two southeastern points of the Mengyang River to seize the bridge. The robbery formation came from the southwest of the military camp. When the commander sent troops and horses to chase him on the road, before the time was up, he killed and wounded the soldiers and took away the weapons, armor, saddles and horses. There were many of them. The reason was that the commander did not know what soldiers and horses they were and where they came from. Come, I would like to show you the details.

Li Chuan and Wang Rui also looked forward to Duan's instructions when planning and discussing matters. The military supplies and goods sent to the Yuan Dynasty for reward have been sent recently, but there are many shortcomings. Fortunately, there is no way to check them. Today, Zhang Gongli, the governor of Tanzhou, is sent to serve as a planning envoy. I would like to submit a letter to report. "

After receiving Zong Wang's memorial, Song Qinzong immediately summoned the ministers to hold an imperial meeting to discuss countermeasures. The failure of this camp robbery was a huge blow to Song Qinzong. Practice seemed to prove that Li Bangyan and other ministers were right to oppose sending troops. These people became active again and regained the trust of Song Qinzong.

Li Bangyan and others believed that the imperial court must not admit that it knew about the hijacking of the camp in advance, and should quickly find ways to eliminate the negative impact of this incident on the imperial court.

Song Qinzong decided to send people to the Jin camp again to explain the situation to the Jin people. However, no minister dared to be ordered to go. Because everyone knows that the whole Jin camp must be angry at this time, and Jin people will do anything when they are angry. In the end, Yu Wenxuzhong stepped forward and bravely accepted the mission. Yu Wenxuzhong had just returned to Beijing not long ago. He had been sent to the northwest by the imperial court to urge the Western Army to come to Beijing to serve the king. Song Qinzong then appointed Yu Wenxuzhong as the Privy Council member who signed the letter, and ordered him to go to the Jin camp with the court newspaper to explain to the Jin people.

The book says: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wrote to the Prince Lang Jun of the Jin Dynasty: The enemy's army rushed to the capital, and Fang was worried and frightened. He accepted his kindness, washed away his past mistakes, promised to build a new good, and won the Anzong Society, which will be a blessing to his descendants. , The importance of kindness and kindness is as important as heaven and earth. The day before yesterday, I observed Wang Ruilai, and all the rhinoceros and jade he held were inspected, and the gold and silver were also lenient. Especially the kindness, it is not the weight of Dunhuan, why should it be like this? The previous letter of the edict is not fully understood, so I would like to change it according to the previous edict and deliver the edict of the three towns.

On the morning of the second day of the Lunar New Year, Fang was about to sit down at court and sent envoys back to take them with him. Suddenly, it was reported that soldiers and horses were making trouble outside the city on the night of the first day of the Lunar New Year. The court did not know the cause of the incident. After hearing about it, they often came to the front of the Jin army. They were invincible. Horrified. They sent someone to ask questions to end the appointment. At dusk, they found out that Yao Pingzhong led all the troops and horses outside the city to make an attack. He asked for orders to seize him. He said that he had not returned to the army stronghold. He also saw people arresting him. When he saw it, he would be punished in order to stop corruption. A man who has done wrong to his country. In addition, there was a person who had a good relationship with Yao Pingzhong in the government, but his behavior was suspicious, and he was afraid of helping each other, so he was dismissed and punished first.

Moreover, this dynasty is managing its own affairs, and there are three reasons why it does not dare to act rashly: considering the strength of each other, the dynasty's troops are too weak to meet the enemy. When you are at a loss, how can you dare to break the promise again? The prime minister and the prince specially sent the army to serve as a hostage, and also sent the ministers in power to serve as envoys. The matter is extremely important, how can they bear to ignore it and not show mercy? This will harm the emperor and his ministers. The love of flesh and blood is the third element.

Prince Langjun is here for justice, he is smart and decisive, and he will be able to detect this. There were rioters outside Fang City, so he didn't dare to send the envoy back that day. He was deeply ashamed of his delay, but still hoped for Shenzhao. The rest is as stated in the oath, and the truth will come, and it will never happen again for thousands of years. Now I send Yu Wenxuzhong, a scholar from the Zizheng Palace, to carry a book and write a narrative. He also goes with the certificate of credence and the edicts and maps of the three prefectures. "

Qinzong of the Song Dynasty wrote another letter to Zong Wang: "The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wrote to ask the prince Lang Jun of the Jin Dynasty: I specially inherited Shuhan, and the inscription is really profound. It shows that on the first day of the lunar month and the fourth day of the lunar month, more soldiers invaded the camp. I heard it for the first time. He was so frightened that he could neither sleep nor eat. He was even more questioned, but he was terrified. Now we have found out that it is the first time the Western soldiers came. They were greedy for profit and wanted merit, and they controlled Yao Pingzhong and made trouble in vain. Seeing that he could not retreat, he waited until Ming Zhengdian was captured. Punishment. The matters discussed by Li Chu and Wang Ru were reported one by one as they came. Wang Ru later recognized the text and sent people to accompany him. The military rewards were also recorded in detail in the book. Reconciliation is a good thing. Since the lotus is going around, I eagerly hope that it will finally come true. I am sincerely sincere."
