One Piece of Song Dynasty

The generals of the Western Army, Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi, met between Huaizhou and Weizhou on their way to King Qin in Beijing. Here they received an order from Song Qinzong, ordering them to go to Taiyuan to relieve the siege. Yao Gu was appointed as the envoy of Hedong Road System, and Zhe Yanzhi was responsible for the official affairs of Xuanfu Division. At this time, they had more than elite Western soldiers.

Yao Gu and Zhe Yanzhi then turned around and headed north, leading their troops towards Taiyuan. Due to the lack of understanding of the actual situation of the Jin army, they did not dare to move forward hastily and were extremely cautious when marching, so the process was relatively slow.

Soon, Yao Gu learned that Longde Mansion and Weisheng Army had been occupied by the Jin people, so he sent the warrior Wang De to reconnaissance. Wang De was from Gansu. He was recruited into the army because of his bravery. He had great ambitions to make a name for himself. He fought bravely and was not afraid of charging into battle.

Wang De quietly sneaked into Longde Mansion and beheaded a Jin army leader, "holding the head in return, and repaying the truth with falsehoods." Yao Gu was overjoyed, so he promoted him to the rank of military captain and ordered him to continue to conduct reconnaissance at Longde Mansion. He also told him that he "must give birth to a child" and that he would personally interrogate him.

Wang De then led cavalrymen and drove straight into Longde Mansion, "capturing the puppet prefect Yao Fan alive to return him alive".

Yao Gu was shocked and said to Wang De: "How can the conduct of Fu Jiezi and Ban Chao in the past be comparable to the fame and fame of the future? They have to go back to ancient times." Yao Gu was right. Wang De later became a famous general in the Southern Song Dynasty's fight against the Jin Dynasty.

On March , after interrogating the puppet magistrate Yao Fan, Yao Gu learned that the main force of the Jin army had withdrawn north, so he led his troops to quickly occupy Longde Mansion and captured alive the puppet magistrate Hao Shen and the Shaojian puppet magistrate Chu Wen. , and backlog county stamps.

The recapture of Longde Mansion was a gratifying event. Yao Gu immediately reported to the court: "In accordance with the Holy Instructions, we sent our generals to rescue Taiyuan. On the th of this month, we recaptured Longde Mansion and captured the puppet prefect alive. Grand Master Yao Fan, general judge Hao Shen, Shao Jian Zhi County Chu Wen, and the Zhi County Seal will now escort Yao Fan and others to Que."

Later, when Yao Fan and others came to Tokyo and entered the palace for an audience, Song Qinzong Linxuan asked him about the situation when he was captured. Yao Fan replied: "I was captured by Yaksha." From then on, Wang De had a "Yaksha" appearance. Number.

At that time, as the Jin soldiers retreated farther and farther, the court ministers no longer worried about the threat of the Jin people. Their attention was focused on how to welcome the Supreme Emperor back to the capital. Therefore, the national armaments have been relaxed again. Lu Haowen, the imperial censor, was worried about this. He told Qinzong of the Song Dynasty: "The success of the Jin people will weaken China, and the country will be overrun in autumn and winter. We need to pay attention to the preparations to defend against the enemy as soon as possible. Today's affairs have been painted, and they will not be seen for ten months. The facilities, officials and officials are not allowed to go down, which is what I am deeply afraid of."

Probably Song Qinzong felt that what he said was reasonable. On March , Song Qinzong issued an imperial edict, requiring all roads to select generals and train troops. The edict said: "Each road selects generals and assistants, trains regular soldiers, recruits and repairs. Manage weapons and armor, save grain, and prepare military supplies. Shaanxi's various roads recruit brave men, and Hebei trains Baojia, and unites them all. Shaanxi selects Baojia and divides them into ten armies. Dingfeng Road selects archers and crossbowmen , a thousand riders. Six thousand people each were selected from Dongding on the North Road of Hunan, waiting for the imperial command. Hebei East and West Bow and Arrow Society shot the students, and pre-departure group gathering, still confirmed the number of people to apply to the Privy Council."

In order to commend the three pacification envoys of Zhongshan Road, Hedong Road and Gaoyangguan Road for their achievements in guarding the city and to show their respect and favor, on March , Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty issued another edict: "Zhan Du, the pacification envoy of Zhongshan Road, and Zhang Xiaochun, the pacification envoy of Hedong , Gaoyangguan Road’s pacification envoy Chen Yu, all of them performed meritorious service in defending the city, except for the Bachelor of Zizheng Palace.”

The next day, March , Hebei Xuanfu envoy Zhong Shidao reported: "Yesterday, according to the holy instructions, we guarded the three towns and drove the Jin people out of the border. I took measures to urge the governor, sent troops to rescue, and responded as needed. Chase and cover up the attack. After the Jin people left, on the th of this month, according to the report from the Zhongshi, the Jin people had been forced out of the border, and the two towns of Zhongshan and Hejianfu, as well as the armies of the states along the border, were all safe."

On the same day, I received a report from Zhan Du, the pacification envoy of Zhongshanfu Road: "On March rd, on the way back to the army, the gold thieves came to my mansion again. I led my soldiers to scratch the fence of their stronghold. The thieves realized that it was difficult to attack, so they crossed the Tang River. , meandering northward. At five o'clock on the th of this month, the Jin people were forced to escape from the village from Baozhou and other places, and have now passed to the north of Yizhou City. This road protects the tombs of Xizu and Shunzu without any danger. This road connects the front and rear. There were more than battles and robberies in the stronghold, and a total of thieves were killed and captured, and heads of evil animals were captured, as well as ladders, goose carts, Dongzi armor, flags and drums, etc. Seventeen thousand and forty-six copies, forty-three carts of grain and grass were burned, some gold, silver, and silk were seized, and a total of people were taken back from the capital and the prefectures, and countless people were demobilized and returned to work. , and received about to shi of dendrobium left behind, which are now being weighed."

Judging from the reports from Zhong Shidao and Zhan Du, the Jin people have gone north in embarrassment, and the situation in Hebei is relatively optimistic.

The situation in the Hedong region seems to be developing in a good direction. After regaining Longde Mansion, Yao Gu led his army to continue to advance north. On March , Wei Sheng's army was recaptured in one fell swoop. This place is only three hundred miles away from Taiyuan City, which was besieged by the Jin army.

Li Gang was ordered to go south to meet the Supreme Emperor. He arrived in Nandu on March and stayed here for five days. Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty met with him twice in the palace hall, and asked him about the situation in the court in detail, and explained the reasons for the "Zhi Di Jiao" and other three things. At that time, Song Huizong had the intention to go to Bozhou and the western capital Luoyang. Li Gang urged him not to go, saying that the emperor longed for him day and night and hoped that the Supreme Emperor would return to Luanyu soon, "wanting to support him in the world." During this period, Li Gang also followed Song Huizong to burn incense in Hongqing Palace.

Finally, Song Huizong expressed his position: "I wanted to go to the Taiqing Palace in Bozhou, but I couldn't go because the road was blocked by water. I also wanted to live in the Western Capital, but the emperor begged me so hard, and it seemed that I couldn't go. I will go back first to convey this. I want to comfort the emperor." After saying that, he took out a letter from his sleeve and handed it to Li Gang, and said: "The prince assisted the emperor, defended the country from thieves, and made great achievements. If he can reconcile the relationship between father and son, there will be no obstruction. "Book of history, famous for eternity"

On March th, Li Gang left Nandu and returned to Tokyo on the th. On that day, the ministers held a meeting in Yanhe Hall to discuss the ceremony to welcome the Emperor. A fierce quarrel broke out between Li Gang and Geng Nanzhong.

Geng Nanzhong suggested that all the left and right servants of the Supreme Emperor should be removed from the palace gates, and those who dared to stay should be killed. At the same time, people were sent to search in advance and then drove in to see them.

Li Gang objected. He thought it was better to just follow the normal law and not to show doubts like this. "It is necessary to go overboard and take precautions, but I am afraid that there will be unpreventable things."

Geng Nanzhong said: "Yi said: If it is possible, it is doubtful. The ancients could not help but doubt."

Li Gang retorted: "Although the ancients are not free from doubts, they are more valuable than making decisions. Therefore, there are doubts in the book, and Yi said: to resolve the doubts in the world. Unable to understand doubts, like the so-called thieves, the trouble is not subtle." Geng Nan Zhong was not convinced and was still talking about it.
