Chapter 92 Master Zhong died of illness

When Nian saw that Wang Zhen and his son had committed suicide, he felt angry. He ordered his father and son to be beheaded, patrolled the city to give orders, and then exposed their bodies together on the street for people to watch.

After all these instructions were given, Nianhan led his personal guards to the city that had blocked his army for nearly nine months to take a closer look.Looking around, the fireworks have not dissipated, and everywhere in the city is devastated. Bodies are lying everywhere in the streets and alleys, and the air is filled with a strong stench.

Nianhan walked around and saw that the remaining soldiers and civilians in the city were all haggard and weak.Passing by a place, I saw a woman holding a baby in her arms. Her eyes were blank. She didn't raise her head when someone came, but just shook herself gently.If you look closely at the baby in your arms, you will see that his complexion is ashen, flies have settled on his body, and he has been dead for many days.Feeling disgusted, he shook his head and left.

When they walked to another place, they saw several people lying dead in the corner. Only a young and a half-year-old man was facing away from everyone, not knowing what he was doing with his head down.The guard on the side stepped forward and kicked the child over. It turned out that in front of him was a broken pot with unknown broth boiling in it. The smell was astounding.When I looked carefully, I saw that the child had fallen to the ground, still holding one arm and making squeaking sounds.Upon seeing this, the Jin soldiers on the side quickly turned their backs, and some were already lying on the side, retching.

Nianhan sighed, turned and left, and then sent an order to massacre the city for a day, killing all the remaining soldiers and civilians in the city, and only more than a hundred people escaped with their lives.Another hero of this battle, Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, was captured and taken to Yunzhong. Four years later, the puppet Qi regime supported by the Jin Dynasty was established. Zhang Xiaochun, who was in prison, accepted the pseudo post against his will and became the right minister of the pseudo Qi Dynasty. The prime minister later submitted a letter to Zhao Gou, Emperor Gaozong of the Song Dynasty, stating that he had no choice but to reveal the plan of the puppet Qi Emperor Liu Yu to send assassins to assassinate the monarchs and ministers of the Southern Song Dynasty.Eight years later, due to repeated defeats in the war with the Southern Song Dynasty, the puppet Qi Dynasty was deposed by the Jin Dynasty. Zhang Xiaochun and others were repatriated to the Southern Song Dynasty. In the end, they were deeply ashamed of their lack of integrity and asked themselves to serve. They died of illness in Xuzhou. This is Not to mention.

After the fall of Taiyuan, Nianhan's army was no longer able to stop them. After a few days' rest, they raised their troops and headed south.

At this time, the Eastern Route Army also won consecutive battles. First, it defeated the Song army in Xiongzhou and killed more than [-] people. Then it wiped out [-] Song troops in Zhongshan, and then defeated several counties such as Xincheng, Guangxin, and Xinle. County, killing countless people.

When news of the fall of Taiyuan reached the imperial court, the officials were frightened. Emperor Qinzong was uneasy and summoned the officials to discuss matters.

At this time, Xu Han and Xu Churen defeated the enemy with troops, while Wu Min and Geng Nanzhong wanted to make peace with the Jin people. The two parties disagreed and argued endlessly.In the end, Emperor Qinzong demoted Xu Han to the post of governor of Bozhou in anger, and the peace faction in the court gained the upper hand.

On this day, Xu Churen and Wu Min argued again in front of Emperor Qinzong. Xu Churen said: "In this autumn of life and death, the enemy advances and we retreat. If this continues for a long time, we will be humiliated and looked down upon by the Jin people. Today we will seize the city and tomorrow we will seize it." Land and land, people and people in the future, wouldn't the whole world of Taizu and Taizong be enemies? We must use troops to attack them, and suffer the pain of skin and beheading with the enemy. Only then can we control each other's territory and never invade each other, otherwise , but there is no other way.”

Wu Min listened to Xu Churen's words and retorted: "The Jin army is good at fighting, and they even have strong generals like Nianhan and Zongwang. With only tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, they march across the land of Hebei and come to the city. If they fight, they will be defeated." Undoubtedly, it is not fun to annoy the Jin people. The only solution for now is to make peace, so that we can have a good relationship for a hundred years, like Liao, and become a country of brothers."

Xu Churen said angrily: "Wu Min, when you and I negotiated an alliance, you recommended me to be the Grand Prime Minister, why are you flattering the enemy now?" At that time, he grabbed a pen in his hand and in a hurry, he threw it at Wu Min's face. Unexpectedly, he was hit by the brush, and black water flowed across his face.Wu Min was furious and raised his spinning board to fight with Xu Churen. The ministers hurriedly stopped him.The final result of this farce was that the two were convicted of misconduct before the emperor. Xu Churen was dismissed as the prefect of Dongping, and Wu Min was dismissed as the prefect of Yangzhou.

When the court was arguing over whether to fight or peace, Emperor Qinzong had no choice but to use Zhong Shidao again and ordered him to patrol the border to resist the Jin army.When Zhong Shidao's army arrived in Heyang, they received news from everywhere that they were defeated.Zhong Shidao thought: "If Hebei is not protected, the Jin army will invade in a large scale, and it will be difficult to hold on to the four battlegrounds in the capital." So he wrote to Emperor Qinzong to move the capital to Chang'an to avoid the Jin army's attack.

Although this plan could not solve the Jin army's military disaster, it could avoid the humiliation of Jingkang. However, the ministers in the court thought that Zhongshi Dao was afraid of war, and asked Emperor Qinzong to recall Zhongshi Dao to the capital.

Emperor Qinzong had no master at this time. The ministers said that the east would be the east and the west would be the west. So he issued an edict to recall Zhongshi Dao and not mention the matter of moving the capital.

After receiving the edict, Zhong Shidao felt sad and angry. As soon as he arrived in the capital, his old illness relapsed and he could not go to court to see Emperor Qinzong. However, he was worried about the Jin people's repeated mistakes, so he wrote a poem to Emperor Qinzong:

Huerli party ministers from Waisei hooked up with many people to go to the capital.

Tuantuankuogupingzhai does not know the royal star.

Moths live and die as the fire remains, and swallows chase after the flock of eagles.

From now on, all the barbarian soldiers will be wiped out, and they will not dare to go southward for ten thousand years.

It's a pity that Zhong Shidao's loyalty to boxing did not attract the attention of Emperor Qinzong. Until the end of October, Zhong Shidao was seriously ill. He and his wife Yin Shi said slowly on the bed: "I have lived a life worthy of heaven and earth, but I can't gallop with my broken body." On the battlefield, driving out foreign invaders is really hateful! Under the Nine Springs, I saw my younger brother in the army, but I don’t know what to say to him?" After saying this, he died at the age of 76.

Zhongshi Dao was originally a general, with a tall appearance and several feet of beauty. He had made great contributions in the battle of Xixia. He was quite handsome and handsome, and his loyalty was well known to the world.

Historians once commented on General Zhong: "The Song Dynasty punished the shortcomings of the vassal towns in the Five Seasons, and used Fengye to control the border areas and lead the stomach. However, the major affairs of the country are not related to military power, but to adapt to the situation and make decisions in times of emergency. Isn't he a servant? The Zhong family has made great contributions to Qingjian since the time of the world. He has promoted the soldiers and soldiers, and has threatened the Qiang and Xia. Provocation, Shi Dao's words are not sold, and the death of Ji Ji will cause disaster to the north and south. Jin uses a lone army to go deep, Shi Dao asks the Western Division to delay its arrival and attack it, and drives up the party; the division wants to come out from its back to cover it, which can be said to be a great plan. . Li Gang and Xu Hangu thought they were timid and slow, so they missed the opportunity, so they went to Daju, and the country was defeated. What a pity!

Later, Huang Daozhou of the Ming Dynasty praised the way of planting masters and said:

Lao Zhong Shidao was the main soldier in the late Song Dynasty.If you are not happy, you are disobedient to Cai Jing.

When the emperor asks about side affairs, the undefeated becomes the best.Come and respond, and things will happen if you act rashly.

Before the Liao Dynasty's success was achieved, they were first frightened by the approaching disturbance.Threatening to help, he attacked forward and rushed back.

The enemy is captured and the city's success is achieved.Then conquer Zangdi, and behead first.

The division was only eight days old and the enemy was already leveled.Liao is a neighbor, so what is the name of the attack?

Baigou was defeated and turned to each other.If we start in Hebei again, we might as well stop.

The division advanced forward and directly pressed the enemy camp.The emperor was delighted when he heard this, but the captives stopped in fear.

Ping Zhong is jealous of his heart, and he fights with speed.Please be patient, but the emperor will not listen.

Now that the battle is defeated, there is no evidence of merit or guilt.In most of the troubled times, good generals have no reputation.

After he died of illness, he was sore and soothed.

At the same time that Zhong Shidao died of illness, the Jin army summoned King Kang Zhaogou to enter the Jin camp to negotiate peace.He also said that the Jin army must cut off the land of the three towns, otherwise they would raise troops to attack the capital.So Emperor Qinzong ordered King Kang to pay tribute to him in formal robes, hats, and jade chariots when he was on an envoy to Hebei.

King Kang was ordered to go to the Jin Dynasty military camp to negotiate peace, and arrived at Cizhou from Huazhou and Junzhou. At this time, the magistrate of Cizhou was the demoted Zongze, who led the crowd to welcome King Kang into the city.
