Chapter 106: The natural god general has fallen, and the four ZTE generals have not been promoted
Chapter 106: The natural god general has fallen, and the four Zhongxing generals have not been promoted
Nowadays, during the period when Zhao Ji was the original leader of Song Huizong, the political and military affairs of the Northern Song Dynasty were as corrupt as a towering tree, which had been hollowed out and turned into a towering rotten tree. Zhao Ji wanted to personally conquer Fangla, which not only could train the soldiers of the Song Dynasty in actual combat
Will, you can also make yourself fall into the land of gentleness prematurely and be unable to extricate yourself...
After thinking about this, Zhao Jit took up his pen and wrote the imperial edict himself on imperial rice paper...
The content of the imperial edict is as follows:
Tong Guannan, the eunuch who knew the Privy Council and was responsible for supervising the northwest of the army, returned;
Tong Guan took charge of the Privy Council and was appointed as the Xuanfu envoy of Jiang, Huai, Jing, and Zhejiang roads, and served as the southeast of Linjun...
Among the Western Army, the Chengxuan Envoy, the Jiedu Envoy of the Baoxin Army, the Deputy Commander of the Ma Army Division, Liu Yanqing, who had defeated the Xixia Army, and his second son [Leading Defense Envoy], and the Military and Horse Supervisor of Langyan Road Liu Guangshi were dispatched to the Western Army of the Song Dynasty.
Ten thousand capable soldiers and generals, supervised by Tong Guan, rushed south to Hangzhou to prepare for the suppression of the bandits...
Zhao Ji ordered the eunuch in charge: "Give it to the eunuch who delivers the edict, and speed up the imperial edict written by me with an eight-hundred-mile horse to the northwest military camp to announce the edict to Tongguan, Zhongshidao, Liu Yanqing, Liu
Guangshi. He also ordered Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing, and Liu Guangshi to go south immediately after hearing the order."
"My little slave obeys the decree." The eunuch holding the imperial edict in his hand stepped down and handed it over to the eunuch...
The reason why Zhao Ji wanted to use Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing, and Liu Guangshi to lead 10,000 elite cavalry soldiers from the Western Army south to prepare for the conquest of Fangla was because he, as a time traveler, knew that in real history, these same men were the main generals.
They wiped out the massive Fangla Uprising that was rampant in the southeast.
Tong Guan has been leading the army for fourteen years now. In particular, he has a very good relationship with the generals of the Western Army, who are the most powerful in combat in the Northern Song Dynasty. The great eunuch Tong Guan has always been prestigious in the army, so he was asked to serve as the commander of the army.
, able to coordinate various departments in the military.
As for Tong Guan, one of the six thieves of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji thinks that he is still useful for the time being, so let's keep Tong Guan to play his final role in the conquest of Fangla!
Objectively speaking, Tong Guan, who has led the army for fourteen years, besides being greedy for money and colluding with Cai Jing, he still made meritorious deeds in the previous campaign to conquer Xixia.
During this period, Tong Guan's only major command error was that in March of the first year of Xuanhe last year, Tong Guan forced the famous Western Army general Liu Fa, known as the "natural god general", to fight against the Xixia Army, resulting in Liu Fa's death in battle. Who is Liu Fa? Zhao Ji remembers that Liu Fa was a native of Hezhong Prefecture and a famous general in the Northern Song Dynasty. There is a saying that "famous generals must be headed by Fa".
Liu Fa became famous in times of crisis and fought on the frontier for a long time. He became famous during the Song-Xia War. He experienced hundreds of battles and was called a "natural god general" by his enemies. He played an important role in the Northern Song Dynasty's attack on Hehuang and became an official in the Northern Song Dynasty's Xihe Management Strategy.
Make.
In March of the first year of Xuanhe, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty (AD 1119), Zhao Ji's original owner, Tong Guan ordered Liu Fa, who had been appointed as the economic envoy of Xihe, to lead his troops to attack Tong'an City of Xixia (i.e. Cut Niu City in Qinghai). Liu Fa believed that the Xixia army
Although the Song army suffered heavy losses, their vitality was not damaged, so they rashly sent troops deep into the enemy's hinterland. The chance of victory was not good, and they were unwilling to take risks...
At that time, Tong Guan, who was aware of the affairs of the Privy Council and was approaching the northwest of the army, was eager to establish greater military achievements, so he used his power to intimidate him, used words to provoke him, and forced Liu Fa to lead his troops to the expedition...
Liu Fa had no choice! He had no choice but to follow Tong Guan's orders and lead his troops to rashly send troops deep into the hinterland of the Xixia Army. As a result, he encountered a heavy siege by the enemy...
Liu Fa and his troops were defeated in a fierce battle. On the way to break out, he fell off a cliff, broke his feet and was seriously injured. He was killed by the Xixia army. A generation of famous generals fell in the late Northern Song Dynasty...
The most annoying thing is that after this battle, Tong Guan passed the blame for the defeat on Liu Fa, saying that Liu Fa's command was unfavorable...
This incident happened in the first year of Xuanhe last year. The residual memory left in the mind of Song Huizong, the original leader of Zhao Ji, did not know the real reason for the death of the natural god general of the Song Dynasty. He was only limited to knowing the Privy Council affairs and the northwest of Linjun.
The truth stated in the memorial written by the great eunuch Tong Guan - Xihe Economic Strategy envoy Liu Fa led his troops to rush into the enemy's hinterland and attack Xixia Tong'an City. During the battle, Liu Fa's command was unfavorable.
Die in battle...
Therefore, after a generation of famous generals died on the battlefield, they did not receive the name of a hero, and their families did not receive generous pensions from the court...
Liu Fa's son, Liu Zhengyan, who was serving as a general in the army, was secretly indignant, but he could only suppress his dissatisfaction and began to not trust the emperor of the Zhao family.
However, Zhao Ji, who knows the truth about this period of history, definitely knows that Tong Guan concealed the true story of how the famous general Liu Fa died on the battlefield in order to exonerate himself...
In fact, after Liu Fa died in battle last year, his troops were not completely wiped out. Those who escaped knew the truth. However, the mountains were high and the emperor was far away, and Liu Fa’s defeated troops could not tell the court and the emperor the real reason for Liu Fa’s death in battle... p>
However, Li Gang, the upright minister at the time, felt that Liu Fa, a famous general who had experienced hundreds of battles, could make such a low-level military command mistake as "advancing greedily for merit and rushing deep into the enemy's territory"?
What's more, the Song Dynasty followed a strict military deployment and combat system. Xihe Economic Strategy Envoy Liu Fa did not have the consent of Tong Guan, the eunuch in the northwest of Linjun, who knew the Privy Council. How could he dare to lead troops deep into the enemy's hinterland to attack
What about Tong'an City in Xixia?
At that time, Li Gang, a loyal minister of the generation, learned that Liu Fa, a famous general, had died in battle but had not been granted a rectification of his name, and his family had not been compensated by the court. He wrote the "Essay on the Tribute to the Country" in grief and indignation to commemorate Liu Fa and avenge Liu Fa's injustice.
……
However, Li Gang had no real evidence to accuse Liu Fa of being defeated and killed because he was a privy council official. Tong Guan, the great eunuch in the northwest of Linjun, took the blame!
Li Gang's "Essays on Tribute to the Country" was dedicated to Song Huizong. The original owner of Zhao Ji at that time, Song Huizong, simply glanced at it twice and accused Li Gang of talking about the northwest military while you are far away in the capital. You are just imagining things out of nothing!<
/p>
Liu Fa was killed in battle in March of the first year of Xuanhe last year.
Soon after,
In June of the first year of Xuanhe, there were heavy rains in Kaifeng, Tokyo, for several days, and floods rose in the capital. Li Gang went to the cave. This was God's warning to Your Majesty, please pay attention to the internal and external troubles of the Song Dynasty and many other problems!
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading!
At that time, Zhao Ji's original owner, Song Huizong, favored the demon Taoist Lin Lingsu and asked Lin Lingsu to prepare a "national event" to pray for blessings and ask the sky to stop raining! Song Huizong believed that Li Gang's comments were inappropriate, so he demoted Li Gang.
Relegated to prison for taxation in Sha County, Nanjianzhou...
"Alas!" Zhao Ji, the time traveler who thought about this place, sighed secretly.
If Liu Fa, who is known as the "natural god general", is still alive, I will not call Liu Yanqing, who will be known as the "escape general" in later generations, and Liu Guangshi and his son to lead one of the Western armies during the expedition to Fangla.
Ten thousand elite soldiers went south to conquer Fangla...
Of course, Zhao Ji also knows that Liu Guangshi is among the "Four Generals of ZTE". However, Liu Guangshi has the worst reputation among the "Four Generals of ZTE"...
What can we do?
Today, for Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and his son have to use what they need. Even if Liu Guangshi, one of the four ZTE generals, is nicknamed the "Escape General" in the future, he only ran away when he was against the powerful Jin Army. p>
Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangshi and his son led 10,000 elite cavalry troops southward to conquer Fang La and his rabble who had just revolted. It should be more than enough.
As for the death of Liu Fa, the natural god general who died last year, let’s put it aside and deal with it later!
Liu Fa's son Liu Zhengyan is now a mid- to low-level military attache in the army. Logically speaking, he should have been promoted after his father died in battle.
However, the time traveler Zhao Ji thought of the "Miao-Liu Mutiny" launched by Liu Zhengyan and Miao Fu in the third year of Jianyan (1129 AD) in history, which imprisoned the then emperor Zhao Gou and forced him to take the Zen throne... Zhao Ji lamented that "a tiger father has no dog son"! Liu Zhengyan is so courageous!
Liu Fa’s son Liu Zhengyan should be guided correctly and allowed to go to the battlefield to kill the enemy. He must not be taken with me to prevent him from repeating the mistakes of history and causing a mutiny. That would be really scary!<
/p>
……
Although Zhao Ji hated Tong Guan's corruption and forced the famous general Liu Fa to death in the northwest of Linjun, compared with the interests of the military and the country, he could temporarily turn a blind eye and let it go.
Tong Guan’s corruption problem was not investigated.
Of course, the time traveler Zhao Ji knew that pacifying the Fangla Uprising would allow Tong Guan to continue to supervise the army...
After the Fangla Uprising was suppressed, it was time to settle the accounts with Tong Guanqiu. After all, Zhao Ji would never dare to let Tong Guan lead his troops to join forces with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty...
Tong Guan's biggest failure against the Song Dynasty was that it began to show itself in the battle to unite the Jin Dynasty and destroy the Liao Dynasty.
Zhao Ji thought about it, what other promising generals should I use to accompany me to conquer Fangla?
