The system has to be used even if it is pulled

The three Ruan brothers led 20,000 naval forces to take the lead. After more than half a month of training and adapting to the river water here, Zhao Yuanlang led his own army of 100,000 and 170,000 reinforcements, a total of 270,000 troops to attack Wang Qing.

Wang Qing knew how powerful Zhao Yuanlang was, so he did not fight with him. Instead, he ordered all places to hold their ground and wait for reinforcements.

Zhao Yuanlang did not play any tricks with Wang Qing, and went straight to Wang Qing's base camp, attacking cities and strongholds along the way. Seeing this, Wang Qing had no choice but to call on his men to gather together and prepare to fight Zhao Yuanlang to the death.

But Zhao Yuanlang didn't play along at all. He asked Gongsun Sheng to perform a magic trick to flood Wang Qing's city. Wang Qing was defeated and 80% of the 100,000-strong army was drowned. Wang Qing and a small number of officials were captured alive, and those who were not captured were basically drowned.

Wang Qing was captured, and people in other areas surrendered one after another. Zhao Yuanlang sent troops to garrison there. Within a month, all the eight states occupied by Wang Qing surrendered.

However, just as Wang Qing was suppressed, the Jiangnan bandit Fang La rebelled, occupied eight states and 25 counties, from Muzhou to Runzhou, and called himself a country.

In order to avoid having to trouble two masters for one matter, Song Huizong conferred the title of King of Su on Zhao Yuanlang. King of Su was the second king, with a fief of 5,000 households and actual fief of 2,000 households.

Let me explain here what the second king is. Brothers, let’s learn the history of the Northern Song Dynasty.

The emperor's descendants were initially granted the title of minor king, and were later gradually promoted to titles of secondary state or great state.

For example, Jiang, Xiang, Huang, Su, etc. are all titles of small kingdoms, Wei, Zheng, Cai, etc. are all titles of secondary kingdoms, Qin, Qi, Wei, Yan are all titles of large kingdoms, Wei and Qin are the most honorable titles of kingdoms of secondary kingdoms and large kingdoms, and are generally not conferred.

What does "food fief" mean? When the Han Dynasty had fiefs, they all received the rent and taxes of the fiefs. After the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, the so-called "food fief with a certain number of households" was actually just an empty name, and no rent and taxes were received. If you have a fief with a thousand households, but a fief with a real fief of 300 households, then you can only get the money of 300 households. The "food fief with a thousand households" mentioned above was just a joke.

Song Huizong played this move well. Damn Suzhou is now in the hands of Fang La. Even if Zhao Yuanlang wants to go to Suzhou, he has to conquer it first. It's really smart.

As for the others, Zhao Yuanlang was appointed as the General Manager and Pacifier of Liangzhe Road, and Shao Bao, and led the anti-bandit army to fight against Fang La.

Zhao Yuanlang first led his troops to Yangzhou, and waited for the arrival of his other 100,000 troops and their families from Yanjing before marching towards Liangzhe Road.

This war lasted for three years, from the third year of Xuanhe to the end of the fifth year of Xuanhe. Zhao Yuanlang originally wanted to continue to let the enemy go, but the Jin Dynasty broke through Yingzhou of the Liao Dynasty, the Liao leader was captured alive, and the Liao Dynasty was destroyed.

The Liao Dynasty was destroyed, leaving only the remnants of the Liao Dynasty. The Liao noble Yelu Dashi gathered the remnants in the northwest, controlled the Mongolian Plateau and eastern Xinjiang, and survived. The Jin Dynasty used force and surrender alternately to conquer the Xi people and the remnants of the Liao Dynasty, and consolidated the occupied areas.

The Liao Dynasty was not to be feared, so the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Sheng, set his sights on the Song Dynasty. The wealth gained from destroying the Liao Dynasty made the Jin Dynasty taste the sweetness. A Song Dynasty that was even richer than the Liao Dynasty would be a delicious cake.

Soon, Xixia became a vassal of Jin, and the Jin Dynasty no longer had any worries in the west and northwest, and its claws were completely exposed.

Wanyan Sheng appointed Anbanbojiliegao and Wanyan Xieye as the commander-in-chief and led the army to attack Song Dynasty in two routes. The western route was led by the left deputy marshal Zong Han, who attacked Taiyuan from Yunzhong; the eastern route was led by the right deputy marshal Zong Wang, who attacked Yanjing from Pingzhou.

At this point, we have to mention Guo Yaoshi, a Liao general who surrendered to the Song Dynasty a few years ago. After Zhao Yuanlang left, he was first appointed as the envoy of Jin'anyuan Army and the governor of Wutai Army. Later, he was appointed as the inspector of Shaobao and the co-governor of Yanshan Prefecture.

Song Huizong was very kind to him, but he betrayed Guo Yaoshi and his brothers. After he was defeated in a hard battle, he surrendered directly to the Jin Dynasty, and Yanjing opened its arms to the Jin Dynasty.

Zhao Yuanlang also completely wiped out Fang La at this moment, and only after the Liangzhe Road was completely stabilized did he submit a memorial to the court.

At this moment, Song Huizong was already in a panic, because after Guo Yaoshi sold Yanjing, he led the Jin army straight in, and wherever he went, there were surrendered soldiers.

Originally, they could have just led troops to stop the Jin soldiers' attack, but the main reason was that a few days ago, the Privy Councilor Tong Guan, who was in charge of three military routes, was frightened by the Jin soldiers in Taiyuan and fled back to Bianliang. Shaanxi local troops including Linfu Zhe Keqiu and Fuyan Liu Guangshi led a total of 40,000 troops to rescue Taiyuan, but were defeated by the Jin army on the north bank of the Fen River outside Taiyuan City, and dispersed after losing more than 10,000 people.

Now Song Huizong no longer cared that Zhao Yuanlang was from the lineage of Emperor Taizong, and directly appointed Zhao Yuanlang as the King of Chu, with a fief of 10,000 households and a real fief of 4,000 households, and additionally appointed him as the General Manager and Pacifier of Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, and Liangzhe Road, Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council, and Academician of Duanming Palace. His title of Grand Guardian remained unchanged, and he urged Zhao Yuanlang to rush to Bianliang for assistance.

Zhao Yuanlang already had 220,000 soldiers under his command, and as he was also the leader of the Huainan East and West routes, he immediately transferred another 80,000 troops from the two routes, making up a total of 300,000 troops before heading north.

At this moment, Zhao Yuanlang had many talented people under his command, and had completely absorbed the forces of many bandits.

The Three Dragon Generals: Lu Junyi, Shi Wengong, and Du Fu

Three Tiger Generals: Guan Sheng, Bian Xiang, Wang Yin

Six bear generals: Si Xingfang, Sun An, Lin Chong, Deng Yuanjue, Shi Bao, Hu Yanzhuo

Seven Panther Generals: Zhu Jing, Yuan Lang, Qin Ming, Dong Ping, Lu Zhishen, Teng Kan, Wu Song

Eleven Wolf Generals: Li Tianrun, Mi Xian, Suo Chao, Yang Zhi, Xu Ning, Feng Tai, Li Ying, Sun Li, Zhang Qing, Shi Jin, Zhu Tong

In terms of military force, General Zhao Yuanlang's power was unrivaled in the Song Dynasty, not to mention the other leaders, both big and small.

During the Song-Jin War, the Jin army's western route suffered a setback. There was only 3,000 Shengjie troops led by Wang Bing in Taiyuan City to resist the Jin army. The Jin army failed in several attacks and Taiyuan could not be captured for a long time. Wanyan Zonghan could not miss the opportunity, so he had to leave his general Yin Shuke to continue the siege while he led his army to rush south.

Seeing that the Jin army was getting closer, Song Huizong simply quit his job, passed the throne to Song Qinzong, and ran away with Cai Jing and Tong Guan, taking 20 million yuan from the national treasury.

As soon as Song Qinzong came to power, he hated his father, Cai Jing and Tong Guan to death. They were obviously using him to shield him from harm.

Song Huizong had a good idea. He went straight to Zhao Yuanlang's camp and asked Zhao Yuanlang to protect him. Bianliang was protected by the other 200,000 troops.

However, Zhao Yuanlang just smiled and waved his hand, and his men detained Song Huizong, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others. Some of the soldiers who followed them were loyal, but facing Zhao Yuanlang's arrangement, they were suppressed in an instant, and the army was divided and integrated into other armies.

Zhao Yuanlang made a fortune in this wave, so he led his army to accelerate northward.

When Song Qinzong Zhao Huan saw that the army coming to his defense had not arrived yet, he also wanted to escape. Even Prime Ministers Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan said that the capital could not be defended and the only option was to hide there, which made Zhao Huan more determined to escape.

Li Gang, the Shaoqing of Taichang, advocated a vigorous battle to defend Bianliang and not lose the ancestral foundation. For a time, there was endless chaos in the court.

At this moment, the eunuch came and urged that Queen Zhu was ready to leave Kaifeng.

When Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan heard this, his face changed. He left his seat in a hurry and said, "I can't stay here any longer. Please don't keep me here. I want to leave with the Queen."

Seeing this, Li Gang had no choice but to kneel down, crying and kowtowing, threatening his death to keep Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan felt a little relieved and said, "I accept your request to stay. You are fully responsible for commanding the troops and defending against the enemy. You must not be negligent in any way."

That night, Prime Minister Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan went to the palace and advised Song Qinzong Zhao Huan to leave Beijing as soon as possible. Zhao Huan decided to leave early the next morning.
