One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 699 Northern Expedition 2 Huaihe War (3)

Over there, Jin Wushu was planning the final five attacks, but Wanyan Zongxian in Guangzhou felt that the situation was getting worse and worse. He received news from Tokyo that the Qu Duan Department of the Governor's Office on the middle road of the Song Army had divided into two groups to attack. Dengzhou and Tangzhou moved north, having already captured Nanyang, Ruzhou, Songzhou and other places, and were advancing rapidly towards Luoyang and Shaanzhou. Their enemy in front of them was the newly transferred Zheyan Zhibu. The Song army had an obvious purpose in doing so. He asked Zheyan Zhibu to restrain him and create opportunities for Qu Duan to go north. Qu Duan's goal in going north was obviously to drink away from Wanyan Sali who was confronting Wu Jiebu of the Governor's Palace on the West Road of the Song Army, because Wanyan Sali Lihebu is located in Hezhongfu, which is very close to Shaanzhou.

If Qu Duan and Wu Jie work together to deal with Wanyan Salihe, then Wanyan Salihe will be in danger. Fortunately, Qu Duan has not arrived yet. After Wanyan Zongxian got the news, he asked Tokyo to send a quick horse to notify Wanyan Salihe. Drink, inform him of the current situation, and let him decide whether to fight or retreat.

If Wanyan Salihe's West Route Army withdraws after learning the news, then it will be meaningless for the Central Route Army to continue fighting here, and it must withdraw. Otherwise, if Qu Duan leads his army to advance eastward, the Central Plains will be in danger. After figuring it out, Wanyan Zongxian immediately sent someone to deliver the news to Jin Wushu's army.

Nie Libei Jin, the commander-in-chief of the Jin Army's East Route Army, who had fled back to Xuzhou at this time, also knew that the matter was serious through various sources. The East Route Army was almost completely wiped out, and the Song Army had already opened up a situation in Shandong. Juzhou and Yizhou , Haizhou, and Mizhou have all fallen, and rebel armies from all over the country have taken advantage of the chaos. Now the situation in Shandong is in danger. The Song army definitely has no plan in this battle. Nie Libei Jin, who knew the situation, sent a horse to inform Jin Wushu and the court. , while returning to Jinan Prefecture to regroup troops and prepare for another battle.

During the chaos in the Central Plains, Huaihe River, and Shandong, the news that Yanjing was occupied by the Song Army was finally known to Jin Xizong. At this time, twenty years had passed since Yanjing and other places were occupied.

Jin Xizong set out from Shangjing on April rd. He planned to go to Yanjing on a tour. In June, Jin Xizong went to Liangxing to escape the summer heat. Liangxing was about the source of the Lightning River in Guyuan County, Zhangjiakou, north of Yanjing. Four hundred kilometers, after Yue Fei raided Yanjing, he strictly controlled the five passes in the north and west, but there was no airtight wall. The final news came from the south. After all, the north and southwest sides of Yanjing were surrounded by gold. In Rao's territory, with the Hebei Plain to the south, it is basically impossible to block the news, but it is good to be able to make the news go around in a circle and then pass it on to Jin Xizong.

Because ordinary local officials did not know the exact news of Jin Xizong, the news of the fall of Yanjing spread from Hebei to Shangjing first, and then from Shangjing to Liangxing. It took twenty, and it was these twenty that gave Yue Fei's department sufficient information. During these twenty miles of preparation, Yue Fei distributed all the land of the Jurchen nobles in Yanjing and other places to the Han people and Khitan people in the Phosphate Layer. This allowed Yue Fei not only to gain a firm foothold in Yanjing and other places, but also to win most of the people's hearts and minds. In order to protect their vested interests, these people actively joined the army and helped Yue Fei's troops repair fortifications. Not only that, Yue Fei also asked Ruan Wu to transport a large amount of food from Jeju Island. In addition to leaving the necessary military rations, Yue Fei left the remaining food They were also distributed to the people.

At this moment, Jin Xizong was pacing anxiously back and forth in Liangxing. Wanyan Xiyin, who had been promoted to Prime Minister Zuo again, frowned and said: "Your Majesty, the situation is extremely unfavorable to me, Daijin. It seems that Li Xin has a big plan this time. His The target is not just the Central Plains, but includes large areas such as the Central Plains, Lianghe, Yanyun, etc. We were careless about Li Xin before, no, maybe Li Xin had a plan for this."

Jin Xizong asked: "How can the Prime Minister say this?"

Wanyan Xiyin said: "Since Shuixianju was exposed, I have recently focused on collecting and checking all the information we got about Li Xin. After piecing these information together, I became more and more frightened. Maybe I, Dajin and Song Liao They were all used by Li Xin. Maybe we made a big mistake by destroying the Zhao family.

This matter starts with Shuixianju. Judging from the information we have obtained, Shuixianju appeared in Daliao in the third year of Zaifu. At that time, we were fighting the Liao army, and the Yanjing area still belonged to the Liao Kingdom at that time. Due to the war between our two countries, the Liao army was too lax in guarding the border. I guess Li Xin took this opportunity to send Liang Xing to Yanjing. After Liang Xin moved to Yanjing, he opened Shuixianju Restaurant and took this opportunity to build a restaurant. Li Chuwen, an important minister of the Liao Kingdom at the time of the curtain, followed the line of Shuixianju that spread rapidly in the Liao Kingdom. This provided great convenience for Liang Xing to collect newspapers later, such as the detailed map of Yanyun or the map of the entire Liao Dynasty. There are also details of the war between our two countries.

Then, as our war with the Liao Kingdom developed, our Dajin territory continued to expand, and Shuixianju inevitably entered our Dajin territory. At that time, Liang Xing even sent people to send gold to the ministers so that they could stay in Dajin. Jin territory provided Shuixianju with convenience and protection. I originally suspected that Liang Xing was a spy sent by the Liao Kingdom, but nothing was found in the end. I feel ashamed that I failed to discover Liang Xin’s true identity at that time. There is no secret at all when facing Li Xin.

Later, we went south to destroy the Song Dynasty. After Zhao Gou re-established the new Song Dynasty regime, we still pursued him, which even gave Li Xin the opportunity to ascend the Song Dynasty. However, after Li Xin took over the power of the Song Dynasty, in order to cover up His ambition was to buy time to show weakness and negotiate with us, but we really fell into his trap. It was only now that Li Xin showed his true face. Maybe we let the weak and incompetent Zhao family go, then Li Xin had no chance. The superior took charge of the power of the Song Dynasty. "

Jin Xizong asked: "Did Li Xin predict that we could destroy the Liao Kingdom and even the Song Kingdom a long time ago?"

Wanyan Xiyin sighed: "It should be like this, otherwise it is really impossible to explain Li Xin's perfect layout. He first used the incompetence of the Liao State to form an intelligence network, and then used my Da Jin's profit and ambition to help him rise to power, and then realize his plans. ambition."

Many ministers in the court were in a state of confusion after hearing Wanyan Xiyin's analysis. Yu Wenxuzhong was one of them. Although they had learned about it through Liang Xing before, their understanding was not comprehensive. Now through Wanyan Xiyin's explanation And Yan Yun's news, Yu Wenxuzhong fully understood Li Xin's plan, which made him very excited. Through Li Xin's plan, he confirmed that Li Xin was a rare hero. He was The Han people are happy to have a heroic leader.
