Chapter 239 The Nightmare of Wushu
But a good news from Han Shizhong dispelled Zhao Ning's worries.
Because Han Shizhong's actual actions proved that the New Deal had no impact on the people who won the Jin Dynasty, and directly smashed the talk that the New Deal caused internal conflicts and affected the fight against the Jin Dynasty in public.
Li Shen and Wang Shu shouted loudly: "The officials have mercy on me! I am waiting for the Song Dynasty!"
If you want to cut it, cut it, and cut it face to face.
The captain in front of the palace raised his knife and dropped it, and six heads rolled down.
Do you want to follow me and get out of office and then take the fast track to promotion?
Sorry, I am a tyrant!
The crowd was silent.
Zhao Guanjia added: "Who insulted the prime minister just now?"
No one dared to speak.
"Are you treating the imperial court as nothing?" Zhao Guanjia's voice was clearly audible, "Are you trying to force me to abdicate?"
"Your Majesty, calm down, I don't dare."
"Don't you dare? I see you are eager for me to abdicate now! Come here! Take off all these people's official hats, send them to border guards, and raid their homes!"
As soon as the emperor said these words, everyone shouted and cried: "Your Majesty! The golden thief is going south, but your Majesty wants to kill the loyal ministers who are directly admonishing him. You must not do it!"
Zhao Ning turned around and ignored them, and went straight into the palace.
Teams of palace guards came out, took off everyone's hats, and then dragged them to the Imperial City Prison for further processing.
There are fifty-three officials in total.
It involves three provinces and six ministries, as well as many idle officials.
The Song Dynasty was short of money, but it was not short of officials.
There were many idle officials in the capital.
For example, the officials from Enyinlai have no actual duties, but they are still officials.
Another example is that when they come up for the imperial examination, there is no place for them at the moment, but if they are given an official position, they will be free for now.
By the time of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, almost eight out of ten officials in the entire Song Dynasty were idle.
The entrance to the palace was quickly cleared and returned to its original state, as if nothing had happened.
But what happened today shocked the entire officialdom of the capital.
The Jin people's move south was seen as the best opportunity to attack the New Deal. Most people were sure that the officials would be wary of the situation at hand and the pressure from officials from all walks of life who kept complaining, and would choose to compromise.
But now it seems that the officials are not compromising at all!
Little did they know that the storm had just begun.
On September 26, Jin Wushu, who was defeated from Xuzhou, retreated to Qufu like a frightened bird.
Yue Fei can't win, but Qufu can still advance in every minute.
Kong Fan, the Holy Duke of Kongjiayan in Qufu, heard that the Jin army was coming and quickly took the lead to pay homage to Jin Wushu.
Wushu is dispersed but not extinguished.
Although Yue Fei won the battle at Xuzhou, the number of enemies he wiped out did not exceed 10,000.
Wushu's army collapsed, rather than being destroyed.
In fact, this kind of war situation was very common in history, especially at the turn of the Song Dynasty.
Jin Wushu was defeated many times. Even if the Song army defeated the enemy, it could not be annihilated.
This is one of the reasons why the Jin Army can keep making comebacks.
Without strong field troops, the enemy could not be effectively annihilated. The Song Dynasty was always on the defensive.
For example, if Yue Fei's troops in Xuzhou now chase Wushu in Qufu and fight Wushu head-on, they will most likely not be able to defeat Wushu.
Moreover, after Yue Fei's cavalry rushed out, they charged forward in an all-out manner, not a fixed-point sweep. Moreover, the two thousand cavalry attacked at that time, and the losses were very high. In the end, only a few hundred people returned.
The biggest contributor here is actually Li Cheng. If Li Cheng hadn't come out to resist, Jin Wushu's main army might have collapsed even more.
At present, Wu Shu led more than 10,000 cavalry and retreated to Qufu. The rest of the collapsed army was not so lucky and was scattered in various places.
On September 27, Wushu resupplied and recuperated in Qufu, and sent scouts to Xuzhou to find out the news. He also sent many people to regroup the soldiers who had collapsed and fled.
He sighed: "I underestimated the enemy! I underestimated that Yue Fei!"
Han Chang said: "Deputy Marshal, after our army has rested for a while, it will not be too late to fight Yue Fei again!"
Wu Shu said: "Now that we are in the Song Dynasty, we are surrounded by enemies on all sides. We can no longer take it lightly."
Han Chang added: "Deputy Marshal, don't worry, the Song army can only defend the city, they dare not come out to fight us head-on."
Wu Shu frowned and said: "Go to Dongping Mansion first to contact Zong Min and Wang Bolong and ask them to gather in Qufu quickly!"
"yes!"
On September 27, Han Shizhong, who defeated Zong Min, confirmed the whereabouts of a large number of Jin troops in the Liangshanbo area.
In the morning, Han Shizhong launched an attack on Bojin's army in Liangshan.
Is the Jin Army strong in field combat capabilities?
Really strong!
The current Song Army is really no match for the Jin Army in field battles.
But what is the current status of Wang Bolong’s department?
This guy followed his lieutenant's advice and blocked Liangshanbo.
In other words, the troops are divided!
That's right, the troops have been divided!
Han Shizhong conducted a careful scout investigation. Although he didn't know why the Jin army was divided on this route, the opportunity was right in front of him.
He immediately launched an attack on Wang Bolong's troops.
So, in the next few days, Han Shizhong's troops made a concerted effort to kill the five-way Jin Army, a total of more than 3,000 people.
When Wang Bolong got the news, it was already two days later.
At this time, he didn't even know where Han Shizhong was.
He could not have counterattacked immediately, but quickly merged the remaining two routes back together.
Wang Bolong wanted to scold his mother. In just half a month, there were only more than a thousand people left out of ten thousand people.
Who knows what he has been through in the past half month!
After Han Shizhong got angry, he did not stop, but ordered his scouts to quickly find out the location of Wang Bolong's main force.
With the cooperation of the people in Liangshanbo, Han Shizhong learned of Wang Bolong's whereabouts on September 30th.
At this time, Wang Bolong was already running towards Xuzhou like a frightened bird, wanting to find Wu Shu.
He didn't even bother to find out who the enemy's coach was. There were rumors everywhere along the way that the main force of the Song Army's 100,000 troops had arrived.
Wang Bolong just wanted to escape, but he didn't know that Wu Shu was also frightened and sent people to look for him.
On the first day of October, Han Shizhong approached Yanzhou.
Yanzhou is less than a dozen miles away from Qufu.
When the scouts reported that there were a large number of Jin troops in Qufu, Han Shizhong stopped.
Of course, Wang Bolong arrived in Qufu and knelt in front of Wu Shu.
After listening to Wang Bolong's report, Wu Shu almost spit out blood.
He kicked Wang Bolong hard and wanted to kill Wang Bolong, but he still held back.
After all, Wang Bolong is his person.
At present, the various factions in the Jin Dynasty are constantly fighting, and it is too late for Wu Shu to continue to strengthen his strength. How can he casually kill generals who have made great achievements many times in the past?
He endured it and punished Wang Bolong with salary, demotion and other punishments.
Wu Shu finally regained his composure and said to Han Chang: "I still have Zong Min in Dongping Mansion. He must have defeated Han Shizhong's troops."
