Chapter 261: The war situation is suspended, and the court disputes
Furthermore, it can be said that the crisis in Daming Mansion was caused by him. First he borrowed 50,000 troops, and then asked Wanyan Hao to lead his troops to fight, which directly caused heavy losses to Daming Mansion. He could not afford the risk of losing Daming Mansion.
On the second day, the detailed military report came, which once again surprised Heshi Liezhining. Although the 20,000 Song soldiers were not weak, they were not in his eyes, but the appearance of Beiwei's army shocked him.
He was horrified.
Although the Beiwei army is small in number, it is almost invincible. Even if there are several times more golden soldiers to fight, the chance of winning is extremely slim.
As a result, behind him were not only 20,000 elite Song soldiers, but also the Beiwei army. It would take at least 50,000 elite troops to be able to completely suppress or even kill them. However, once the army under his command
The soldiers retreated in large numbers, and Zhang Jun, who had discovered the news, could not sit idly by.
By then, once Zhang Jun launches a war at all costs, the remaining Jin soldiers will be in danger. Therefore, the only way now is to give up the battle in Sizhou and settle down the north first. As for the battle of Sizhou
, we can only see if there is another chance in the future.
Almost at the same time, Zhang Jun, who received the news, stood up directly on the recliner. Looking at the news that Mingyang had just sent in his hand, he could hardly believe it! Such a difficult thing was actually done? If so,
Not only would the situation in Sizhou be solved immediately, but they might also teach Jin Bing a lesson.
"Okay, okay, okay! This is great news."
"Yifu, immediately send an order to Shao Hongyuan, ordering him to prepare for war immediately and be ready to attack the Jin soldiers at any time. In addition, order all the spies in the north to be active to inquire about the Jin soldiers' camp. If there is any change, they will report immediately. Send the order to Lingbi City
After our side started fighting with the two troops from Lingbi Mountain, we ordered them to immediately go into battle and eliminate the Jin soldiers as much as possible!"
After a series of orders were issued, Zhang Jun calmed down his excitement slightly and asked Mingyang, "Does your young master have any other explanations?"
"Reporting to Prime Minister Zhang, my young master said that it would be best to be able to injure some of the golden soldiers, but if there is no chance, there is no need to force it. After all, the golden soldiers are powerful. Once a war breaks out, even if we win, it will be a miserable victory. Now
We, the Song Dynasty, cannot afford to suffer too much loss."
"Yes!" Zhang Jun nodded, "Just write back to Shen Tang to reassure him."
Sure enough, two days later, spies reported that Jin soldiers were mobilizing in large numbers, but for a while there was no sign of retreat.
In order to test the authenticity of the Jin soldiers, Zhang Jun directly asked Shao Hongyuan to advance. However, as soon as Shao Hongyuan's army left Sizhou, they were attacked by a large group of Jin soldiers.
Shao Hongyuan did not accept the challenge, but after dealing with it, he returned directly to Sizhou.
In this way, for several days in a row, spies reported every day that the Jin soldiers were dispatching troops. Several times they sent out troops to test, but to no avail. Each time, large groups of Jin soldiers came.
It was not until more than ten days later that Zhang Jun ordered Shao Hongyuan to send troops to the north again. This time, Shao Hongyuan led the army forward carefully. However, when the army arrived outside Sizhou City, they still did not encounter the attack of the Jin soldiers. On the contrary,
I saw Li Xianzhong and others who were cleaning the battlefield.
When I stepped forward to ask, I found out that the Jin soldiers had been withdrawing secretly in the past few days, but it was extremely secretive. Even Li Xianzhong, Bian Xi and others who were close at hand did not notice any clues. It was not until the dark night last night that they noticed something strange in the Jin soldiers camp.
After deliberation, they took the risk and sent a small group of soldiers to attack the camp.
After the first battle, it was discovered that there were only a few golden soldiers left in the camp to confuse the Song army. If it had come later, even this last group of golden soldiers might have disappeared.
Immediately, Li Xianzhong, Bian Xi and others led their troops out of the city and directly defeated this small group of golden soldiers...
Since Heshi Liezhining led his troops, the Song and Jin Dynasties have been confronting each other for several months. Although the two sides have been in constant friction, the real war has not yet begun. Therefore, the losses on both sides are not serious.
This war also ended in such a weird way.
News of the war situation in the North came back to the court, and everyone in the court had mixed feelings.
Fortunately, in this battle that lasted for several months, the Song Dynasty side did not suffer much damage. Although there was no victory, the result was acceptable. The reason why I was worried was because this battle once again witnessed the strength of the Jin soldiers.
, it is as difficult as reaching the sky to succeed in the Northern Expedition.
The Jin soldiers retreated, and Zhang Jun naturally would not return easily. Immediately, he ordered Li Xianzhong and Bian Xi to divide their troops and advance forward, and then conquer Suzhou and Pizhou. Shao Hongyuan led his troops northward, replacing Lingbi to defend the city, and divided his troops to generals who had been captured.
Take Hong County, which Jin Bing gave up.
The land of Sizhou became a battlefield where the Song army was raging, and there were constant battles in the court.
According to Zhao Shen's idea, since the Jin soldiers have retreated, it is natural to expand the results of the war. Not to mention taking the entire Shandong land, at least take more state capitals and restore some of their homeland. However, the people of the Zhuhe Sect are against
This is extremely objectionable.
Tang Situi said in his memorial, "Although the Jin soldiers retreated, they were not injured. If they advance north again, the Jin Kingdom will be angered and the army will return. Not only Sizhou will be in crisis, but also the Huainan area to the north of Sizhou will be in danger.
They will be attacked by the Jin soldiers. Now that both sides have their own victory or defeat, it is better to accept it as soon as possible. The army in front is ordered to retreat directly to the territory of the Song Dynasty. Those empty cities have no meaning and they are directly surrendered. Moreover, an envoy is sent to ask the Jin Kingdom for help.
and to end the dispute between the two countries."
At this time, Zhao Shen once again tasted the consequences of suppressing the war faction. Every day when the court went to court, the ministers of the peace faction took turns to give speeches. Apart from this, almost no different opinions were put forward by others.
Also, in the current court, there are only two or three kittens from the main war faction. The others are either from the main peace faction or marginal figures with no say. Do you really want to go into battle naked?
Do you want to confront these courtiers personally?
In anger, Zhao Shen immediately resigned from the court for several days. Even if Tang Si retreated, Chen Kangbai and others asked to see him, they were all turned away.
Tang Situi and others wanted to achieve their goal. After some thought, they found another way and went to the palace to see the Supreme Emperor Zhao Gou, hoping that Zhao Gou could persuade Zhao Shen to stop his troops and sue for peace. But they didn't know that this was what they wanted.
This idea, however, directly suppressed the power of the Lord He Sect and made it difficult for them to stand up again.
Sure enough, Zhao Shen was extremely angry when he found out that Chen Kangbai and others came to the palace from time to time to ask for an audience with Zhao Gou! Tang Situi, Chen Kangbai, Zhu Zhuo and others were all veterans of Zhao Gou's period. Now, they are in frequent contact with the Supreme Emperor again
