Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

When news of Yao Pingzhong's defeat reached the imperial court, Emperor Qinzong was shocked. Zhong Shidao offered another advice: "We have made a mistake in robbing the camp, but the military strategists said what they didn't expect. The Jin army has won a great victory. We must not be prepared. We will raise our troops and horses again tonight and attack in separate lanes." This is also a surprise attack. If we fail to win, we can also attack with thousands of people every night. The Jin people will not be able to rest in peace. Within ten days, the army will flee!"

Li Bangyan on the side said: "Since the plan has been lost, I am afraid that the Jin people will be questioned and the peace treaty will be difficult to achieve. Moreover, after the Jin army's battle last night, why not take more precautions? This plan is not feasible."

When Emperor Qinzong heard about Yao Pingzhong's defeat, he was already panicked. How could he distinguish between loyalty and traitor? So he listened to Li Bangyan's advice and did not listen to the plan of cultivating teachers.

On that day, Wanyan Zongwang sent an envoy to serve as a minister to question Qinzong. Qinzong was weak and speechless. Li Bangyan said: "This use of troops was a private conspiracy between Li Gang and Yao Pingzhong, and was not the intention of the court." So Qinzong dismissed Li Gang. He also abolished his official position and replaced him with Cai Mao, in order to apologize to the Jin people. Only then could the matter be considered a little peaceful.

Then the Jin army made peace talks again, but Emperor Qinzong did not dare to fight anymore. He fully accepted the Jin people's demands and promised to pay all the three towns of Taiyuan to the Jin country.

When Li Gang was demoted and news of the imperial court's cession of land and compensation spread among the people, people were dissatisfied. So Chen Dong, a student of the Imperial College, and others led tens of thousands of subjects in the capital to petition outside the Meridian Gate, requesting that Li Bangyan and other traitorous ministers be removed and Li Gang be re-appointed.When Li Bangyan came back from court, everyone saw him and beat him up. He was so frightened that he fled into the palace and did not dare to go out for several days.Under pressure, Qinzong had no choice but to appoint Li Gang as Shangshu Youcheng again, the envoy for the defense of the four walls of the capital.

Just when Li Gang was dismissed from office, Wanyan Zongwang raised another army to attack. Cai Mao ordered the city defenders not to shoot arrows or throw stones without authorization, and strictly prohibited the use of thunder cannons, fire oil tanks and other weapons for city defense, causing heavy casualties to the city defenders. The crowd was furious.It was not until Li Gang was reinstated that he rewarded those who could kill the enemy generously. Only then did the sergeants regain their morale and fight bravely against the enemy.Wanyanzong saw that Li Gang had been reinstated and it was difficult to leave the capital, so he led his army to retreat, and ordered a letter to be sent to Emperor Qinzong, stating that he would cede three towns and take the prince as a hostage, and the army would retreat.

Emperor Qinzong was afraid of the Jin people, so he ordered people to take the edict of ceding the three towns that was detained by Li Gang and send it to Jinying.Wanyan Zongwang obtained the edict of the three towns and took Su Wang Zhao Shu as a hostage. He was afraid that things would change over time, so he sent envoys to the court to say goodbye before Emperor Qinzong could collect the gold and silver.Then he led his troops to the north and returned Hua and Junzhou to the Song Dynasty.Since then, the siege of Bianjing has been lifted.

When the Jin army left, Zhongshi Road played: "The Jin army hurriedly returned north without waiting for enough gold coins. It must be empty-minded. Now that the army is on the side, we should pursue it with heavy troops. When it crosses the river, we can attack it halfway." Defeat the Jin army." However, Emperor Qinzong was afraid of angering the Jin people, so he did not allow the plan of cultivating teachers.Master Zhong sighed helplessly: "If we miss this good opportunity today, it will be a disaster for us in the Central Plains in the future."

Lu Haowen, the imperial censor, also reported: "Now that the Jin people have succeeded, they will despise our country more and more. Now because our army is so powerful, we have to retreat for the time being. In autumn and winter, we will definitely overwhelm the country. Therefore, we must be prepared to defend against the enemy. You must ask for it as soon as possible." Emperor Qinzong refused to listen again.

Seeing that Emperor Qinzong's holy will was decided, Li Gang reported: "Although we made an alliance with the Liao people during the Chanyuan Alliance, when they retreated, Emperor Taizong still sent out a large army to escort them to prevent them from running amok and plundering wantonly. . Now the Jin people have retreated for three days. When they first came, they crossed the river by boat. Now they can complete it in one day. Your Majesty can escort them across the river." Emperor Qinzong approved his report and ordered He raised his troops to send him off.

Li Gang summoned his troops and said to the generals in private: "The escort sent out this time is a last resort. The generals will see the opportunity and when the Jin people cross the river, they can attack them with their troops." After hearing this, the generals were happy and cheered. He actively sought action and chased the Jin army all the way north.

Unexpectedly, Li Bangyan and others in the city heard that Li Gang wanted to raise an army to pursue the Jin army. They were so frightened that they quickly went to the court to request an order to return the army.Emperor Qinzong was also afraid that the Jin people would be angry, so he immediately ordered the pursuit of all the troops to return to the capital without fighting the Jin people.

When the imperial edict came, Li Gang's army had already chased the Jin army to Hebei, and was about to catch up. When they suddenly received the imperial edict to return to the court, they all sighed with regret.After Li Gang returned to the court and went to the court to fight again, Qin Zong nodded and ordered Li Gang to gather more troops to pursue the Jin army.

But this time, a lot of time is wasted, and the fighter plane is often fleeting.By the time Li Gang's army reached the edge of the Yellow River, Wanyan Zongwang's army had already crossed the Yellow River and formed a formation on the opposite side.

Wanyan Zong looked out of the camp, looked at Li Gang on the other side and said with a smile: "Master Li, why bother seeing each other for such a long time? I appreciate the friendship between the Southern Dynasties and please come back early so that we can meet again someday."

When Li Gang heard this, he was depressed, but he saw that the Jin army on the other side had a clear formation. If he pursued at this time, he would be attacked halfway, but he would have fallen into the Jin's plan. In desperation, he had to withdraw his troops and return to Beijing to repeat the order.

At this point, the Jin Kingdom's first attack on the Song Dynasty came to an end. In the end, the Song Dynasty, under a good situation that was several times stronger than the Jin army, did not use the words of Li Gang and Zhong Shidao, and failed to severely damage the invading Jin army. Instead, it knelt down and begged for peace. Countless gold and silver were lost in vain.It also made the Jin people look down on the Song Dynasty even more, and also laid the groundwork for the second attack on the Song Dynasty.

After the Jin army had gone away, Emperor Qinzong finally remembered the Supreme Emperor and his group of old ministers who were far away in Zhenjiang, so he decided to reorganize the imperial court. He successively demoted Grand Master Cai Jing, Prince Tong Guan of Guanghe County, and Privy Councilor Cai You. What is unimaginable to everyone is that Zhongshidao will be dismissed as the envoy of Zhongtai Palace, except for his military power.

Xu Han, the imperial censor, learned that Zhongshi Dao had been demoted, so he met Emperor Qinzong and said, "Zhongshi Dao is a famous general in the northwest. He is calm, resolute, and strategic. Everyone under his command believes in him, and his military power cannot be removed."

Emperor Qinzong said: "The teacher is old and difficult to use. You can go and see him in person." So Xu Han came to plant the teacher in front of him with the order.

When Zhong Shidao saw that Xu Han was a weak scholar, he felt scornful and closed his eyes silently.Xu Han said: "The country is currently in troubled times. The Holy Master has ordered me to come and meet with the father-in-law to dispel his doubts. I also ask the father-in-law not to refuse to discuss military matters with me because I am a scholar."

Zhong Shidao then said: "Taiyuan is in danger now. However, we have few enemies. We can divide our troops and form camps to defend key areas and block the food routes for Nianhan's army. If we sit still for a long time, their army will be defeated."

So Xu Han went back to the palace to meet Emperor Qinzong and said: "The First Emperor thought Wang Jian was old and used Li Xin, but he humiliated Chu. Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty did not regard Zhao Chong as his old man, but trusted him and used him. Only then did he have the merit of Jincheng." . Since Taigong Wang, there have been countless people who have made great achievements through the use of veteran generals. I observe that although Master Zhong is old, his wisdom and consideration have not faded, and he can still be of great use."

Seeing Emperor Qinzong's silence, Xu Han added: "The Jin people's southward journey this time depends on their survival. Zongwang's army has retreated. If the Nianhan army can be severely damaged and defeated, the Central Plains can be saved." , the four barbarians can be subdued. If not, the Jin people will inevitably invade southward again, and there will be a worry that they will not be saved. Therefore, it is advisable to mobilize the division and unite the troops to attack them."

Emperor Qinzong realized this, so he appointed Zhongshidao as the Major Division of the School, Jin Taiwei, Changjie Town Taojun Jiedu Envoy, Hebei and Hedong Road Xuanfu Envoy, stationed troops in Huazhou, and Baojing Military Festival. The Du envoy and the deputy capital commander Yao Gu in front of the palace set up envoys for the Hebei and Hedong road systems and stationed troops in Heyang to jointly control the dangers of Taihang and Langche.

Just when Wanyan Zongwang's army returned to the north and Zhong Shidao and other generals led their troops to guard the key roads, Taiyuan Mansion, which Nianhan's army had been unable to attack for a long time, was in danger and the situation was critical.
