Chapter 57 A bunch of people without shame

On the tenth day of the month, good news came from Taiyuan, and Li Hu agreed to the attack from Bianjing to attack the Jin army in Hebei.
Li Gang immediately formulated a specific attack plan, but this plan caused controversy in the central discussion.
Geng Nanzhong believed that before the Hebei War began, the court must firmly control the northwest to avoid being hit by Li Hu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain. Once the Hebei Song army launched an attack, the defense force of the capital of the capital was weak. At this time, if Li Hu led his army into Shaanxi and captured Chang'an, then Bian Jing would be very passive.
Ministers such as Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu and others have entered Tongguan and probably have arrived in Chang'an. However, it will take time for various strategic commanders to control the troops in Shaanxi by around June.
Zhong Shidao, who attended the meeting, immediately raised objections.
The Jin army went south to invade in December last year, retreated on the ninth day of the second month, and fought in Zhending, Zhongshan (Dingzhou) and Hejian areas around the end of February to around March. However, since Liu and Yuefei failed to attack Zhongshan, the battlefield in Hebei has been basically in a state of confrontation, and the Jin army has gained a breathing time.
According to Li Hu and Li Gang's plan, the attack began in early May. At that time, the Jin army had only been resting for more than a month and had not recovered its physical strength. It was the best opportunity for attack. If it was July or August, the Jin army had already been resting, and with the current Song army's troops on the battlefield in Hebei, it might not be able to defeat the Jin army.
Zhong Shidao suggested that the emperor must choose the attack time in early May, so that he can be sure to defeat the Jin army.
Geng Nanzhong sneered, "A martial artist, what do you know? From time to time, you can solve the problem by chopping, killing and killing the war. The central strategy determines the victory or defeat on the battlefield. "If this is Li Hu's plan to lure the tiger away from the mountain, even if you win in Hebei, but we lose Shaanxi, what's the point of this victory?"
"Since Bianjing believes in Li Hu and is willing to join forces with Li Hu to attack the Jin army, why do you doubt him?" Zhong Shidao asked angrily, "Since you are pregnant with Li Hu, why do you still have to launch a war in Hebei?"
"Prevent problems before they happen." Geng Nanzhong was justified. "As long as he controlled the Northwest and controlled the Northwest Army, Li Hu would not be able to pose a greater threat to Bianjing."
Just a few civil servants who were not familiar with the northwest are able to control the northwest and control the northwest army? Zhong Shidao looked at Geng Nanzhong, who was arrogant and said it was good. He said it was serious. He offended people and said it was light. These self-righteous officials did not know that they were powerful. Zhong Shidao hesitated for a long time. He would use Tong Guan as an example to illustrate the situation in the northwest. Tong Guan was in charge of the northwest military for more than 20 years. He had never controlled the Northwest Army in practical sense? He was defeated far more than winning battles. Can't he explain the problem?
Zhong Shidao avoids the important things and is light. Even the little emperor ignored these words. However, this sentence reminded the little emperor. "Before the war in Hebei began, Li Hu must send the king to Bianjing and send Tong Guandi's head to Bianjing." The little emperor could not see the king. It was like a thorn always stuck in his heart, restless sleep and food.
Zhong Shidao smiled bitterly. In Bianjing, in this luxurious underground palace, power struggle is far more important than war. Even when the Song Dynasty reached such a crisis, the old emperor, the little emperor and the ministers were all concerned about power. Instead of regaining the territory war, Zhong Shidao was depressed, desperate, and could not see any hope. At this moment, he even felt that the sky was dark.

Li Hu seemed to know the same thoughts as Bian Jing, and immediately sent a second memorial.
The king was sick because he was discouraged and had no business. His condition became worse and worse, so he was unable to send him to Bianjing for the time being.
Tong Guan's Shengjie Army was in Chang'an, and there were many Tong Guan's old subordinates in the Northwest Army. Li Hu was worried that if Tong Guan was killed, the Shengjie Army would rebel. The Northwest Army might be shaken, so Li Hu suggested that Bianjing should not kill Tong Guan for the time being, and it would be better to detain him.
In addition, the Jin army gathered around Datong again and was expected to attack Datong soon. At the beginning of the year, the Tiger Lieutenant Army suffered heavy losses in the Battle of Datong and the army could not be replenished in time. For this reason, Li Hu decided to draw troops from Taiyuan to head north. In this way, if the Tiger Lieutenant Army wanted to enter Hebei from Taiyuan, the troops would be obviously insufficient.
Li Hu begged Bianjing to issue an order to command Yue Fei, the Tiger Lie Army, and asked him to recruit various rebels in Hebei and quickly expand his army to cooperate with the main force of the Song army to attack the Jin army from the frontal battlefield.
Yue Fei had already attracted the attention of Bian Jing. Judging from Liu's report, the Song army was able to recover Zhending and Yue Fei made great contributions. This man was very powerful in war. He heard that he was from Tangyin, Xiangzhou. The whereabouts of his mother and wife and children in his family were unknown during the Jin army invasion. Yue Fei did not find any relatives in Tangyin, so he immediately recruited a group of strong men from his hometown, recruited several rebels, formed an army of more than 10,000 people, and launched a fierce attack on the Jin army.
Li Hu's request made Bian Jing uneasy.
The little emperor asked Li Gang how many troops Yue Fei has under his command now?
Li Gangchi said nothing. Liu, Xin Xingzong and other commanders from Hebei frequently mentioned Yue Fei during this period because Song in Hebei was from Hebei
Young, he defended the city to the death, did not dare to fight, and did not dare to attack the Jin army on the battlefield of Hebei. As a result, Yue Fei became the target of the Hebei rebel army's resignation. In a short period of time, more than 100,000 rebels followed him, and even some of the rebel army of Youyan, and the small Song army from the three towns of Hejian, Zhending, all joined the Yue Fei army.
If Li Gang is honest, Yue Fei's army is equivalent to the Tiger and Martyrs Army, it can be said that Li Hu's Tiger and Martyrs Army has entered Hebei. This is a fact that Bianjing does not want to see or accept it. It will definitely affect the Hebei War. But if you don't tell the truth, when will the Hebei War be delayed?
Li Gang thought for a long time and told the truth, "more than 100,000."
"100,000?" The little emperor, Wu Min, Geng Nanzhong and others were shocked. In this Hebei battle, the army under Zhong Shidao was only 100,000, and the troops under the four imperial guards in Hebei were no more than 120,000, and Yue Fei actually had an army of more than 100,000, which was incredible.
"Li Hu was betrayal and went back on his word." Geng Nanzhong cursed, "He swears that his army will never set foot in Hebei, but what happened to Yue Fei? How to explain this matter?"
"I remember Li Hu once said in the memorial that Yue Fei had only two thousand people, why did his army increase to 100,000 in just two months?" Wu Min looked at Zhong Shidao, hoping to hear his explanation, because before that, Zhong Shidao had visited Hebei and he should know the reason.
"These tens of thousands of people are actually all rebels from Hebei." Zhong Shidao sighed, "After the invasion of the Jin army, our army retreated with great strides and even defeated without fighting. But these rebels were very brave. In order to guard their homes, they rushed forward with wooden sticks and iron rakes, and even rushed forward with bare hands without hesitation..." Zhong Shidao thought of those who died in battle, and was very sad and angry. "When Yue Fei entered Hebei, there were only two thousand cavalry, but he fought with tens of thousands of Jin troops. In the past two months, he fought more than 100 battles from all over the world, not only forcing the Jin army to retreat quickly, but also recovered Zhending. In the battle of Anxi, Dingzhou, he led more than 20,000 people to fight with the Jin army for a day and a night. Only after the 20,000 people were almost finished, he retreated."
Zhong Shidao looked at the little emperor and said excitedly: "We have such a strong general and such an army. Why can't we start the Hebei War immediately? Yue Fei has more than 100,000 people, and the size of the army in other places is increasing every day, and we have 120,000 people, and together there are more than 200,000 people, we are fully confident of defeating the Jin army."
The little emperor was moved, and Master Zhong’s words aroused his courage, and he decided to start a war immediately.
"Yue Fei is Li Hudi's brother, this army is the Tiger's Fiery Army. Li Hu broke his promise..." Geng Nanzhong shouted loudly, the voice sounded furious and mixed with deep fear, "What if Li Hu attacked Bian Jing? Li Hu has already controlled Hedong. If he controls Hebei again, how can we ensure the safety of Bian Jing?"
"If the Tiger Lieutenant Army defeats the Jin army and recaptures Hebei and Youyan, what can we use to ensure the safety of Bianjing?" Zhong Shidao asked sternly, "We must defeat the Jin army on the Hebei battlefield and use a victory to prove our strength. Only in this way can we stop Li Hu. Do you know? Blindly retreat, fight with a coward, command and strike our morale in this way, and increase Li Hu's ambitions. Don't you understand such a simple truth?"
The white bearded halberd was opened with a mighty aura, and the murderous aura was spitting out. Geng Nanzhong was afraid and did not dare to look at each other. However, he looked down on Zhong Shidao. With the support of the emperor, he resolutely stopped the war in Hebei. He even suggested that the emperor immediately discuss with the Jin Kingdom about joining forces to attack Daibei. This was proposed by the Jin people. Now the Jin people's envoy is still in Bianjing, and he is still urging Bianjing to give an answer immediately.
Zhong Shidao was so angry that he was furious. On the battlefield in Hebei, the brave soldiers and people of the Song Dynasty were defending their kingdoms and their homes with their lives and blood. However, in the temples of Bianjing, some people not only betrayed the country, but also became crazy and wanted to join hands with their enemies to kill the soldiers guarding their homes. What kind of world is this? Is there any black and white right or wrong in this world? The Song Dynasty was controlled by such a group of shameless people. How can they not be defeated? How can they not perish?
Zhong Shidao's anger increased the momentum of the pro-war faction. The little emperor became more and more inclined to attack, but he was really scared. He was afraid of failure and was afraid of having nothing.
"The Hebei War must begin immediately." Wu Min said solemnly, "As long as it is properly deployed and Yue Fei and the Jin army fight head-on, it will definitely be exhausted. In this way, we can not only recover lost territory, but also seriously damage Li Hu.
