Chapter 1556 Go south again, this time mainly for us
It turns out that although the Tang Dynasty suffered heavy defeats in the east and west, the Jin army was just rushing around without any skills. The two battles were concentrated in the areas north of Hedong Road and Gyeonggi Road in the Song Dynasty. Originally, the Jin army was the most powerful with its long drive.
The two prefectures in Hebei that were attacked first were in a straight line, but now the war has spread, and most of the military prefectures have been captured and fallen one after another. Compared with the Song army's fierce battle on Hedong Road, they were able to gain a few small-scale victories.
Although the battle was victorious, the two armies in Hebei Province fought even more poorly. Now Hejian Prefecture, Cangzhou, Jizhou... and even Daming Prefecture, the most critical military location north of the Yellow River, have fallen one after another. Today's Hebei territory has almost become a golden border.
The bridgehead for the army to launch its southern invasion.
Although there was Xiao Jiasui in the east, Liu Fa led various rebel armies, and Zhang Shuye, who was granted the title of Governor of South Road, led the imperial army of the Song Dynasty to take charge of defense along the Yellow River.
It was difficult for the government's patrol and alert to be comprehensive. In the end, the Jin army caught the flaw and landed at Zizhou Zishui Pass on Jingdong East Road, killing three to five thousand officers and soldiers stationed there, and then took advantage of the situation to sweep across Zi, Yi, and other cities.
Several military prefectures in Wei and Mi, as well as many counties and towns, fell.
The commander of the Jin army, who heard that the east was once again invading south, was Wanyan Wushu, who was respectfully known as the "Fourth Prince" in the Jin army after the "Bodhisattva Prince" Wanyan Orulubu.
The great victories in the two battles in the Song Dynasty inspired the determination of the Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians to resist the war. However, under the attack of the Jin army that came back and was still overwhelming, it would naturally breed. A large number of people were frightened and timid, and they forgot their ancestors and turned to the other side.
The Song traitors who worked hard for the Jin army naturally included Liu Yu, who was the prefect of Jinan at the time.
The Jin army came to the city of Jinan Prefecture, and with only some persuasion, Liu Yu immediately offered the city to surrender. It seems that he was able to please Wanyan Wushu and Wanyan Talan, who had saved his life in the previous battle, and promised that
With his great power, he not only knew Dongping Prefecture, but also served as the pacification envoy for the east, west, and Huainan roads in the Song Dynasty. Most of the demons and ghosts who invested money in the Song Dynasty were also under the control of Liu Yu. Now they have built a certain momentum. I heard that the Jin Dynasty has already
It was planned to enthrone Liu Yu as King of Qi, so as to serve as a force deployed in Song Dynasty to assist the Jin army.
After all, whether it is the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji or the current official Zhao Huan, the two foolish emperors are still living in panic during the civil war in the Bianliang Imperial City in Tokyo. They first withstood the invasion and plunder of the Jin Army from the east and west, and a large area of territory has not yet fallen. Xiao Tang
It can probably be concluded that since the Jurchens have already established a country, if they follow the original track and canonize that thief Liu Yu as emperor and establish a fake country named Daqi, not only is it somewhat unjustifiable in legal terms, but they only occupy a few military states.
Being an emperor is a bit shabby, but with the expansion of the Jin Kingdom's invasion, it is probably a matter of time to install a loser as a puppet emperor. When the time is right, he can depose the emperor and merge the territory under his own rule.
...
However, this also makes the power that Liu Yu can control now be greatly reduced compared to the original trajectory. The puppet Qi State, which was supposed to be supported by the Jin State as a puppet regime, has existed for seven years and occupied a large area.
The large territory from Shandong to Shaanxi also attracted a large number of unruly officials and generals, as well as a large number of traitorous green forest thieves to defect to the country. They cooperated militarily with the Jin army to attack the Song Dynasty, which indeed caused a lot of trouble for the Song army. Now Liu
Now that this guy Yu has shown his face, he must be eliminated as soon as possible, otherwise the harm will inevitably become greater and greater in the future.
What worried Xiao Tang even more about the military reports was that Liu Yu, who was temporarily appointed as the King of Qi by the Jin State, and who was attached to the activities of the Jin Army, either recruited defeated troops, bandits, or was a confidant transferred by the Jin State. Among the important officials, Chen Xizhen's name also appeared prominently among them.
"Brother, I am sure he knows people well. When I was ordered to go to Jinan Mansion to pick up Guan Sheng and praise him, when the three brothers Hao Siwen escaped from the prison camp, I followed my brother's instructions to see if Liu Yu, the thief, was already in Jinan. , at that time I was indeed suspicious that my brother Zhemo had looked at that guy's past behavior and concluded that he was a traitor who deserved to be killed. Now it seems that it is true, Liu Yu is really a man who has forgotten his ancestors and turned into a killer for the Tatars. talent!"
Shi Xiu, who was standing by, said fiercely, and added: "It's unfortunate that the Song court officials and soldiers were useless. They were killed by the Jin army at the time of the battle. Before the scars healed, they seemed to have forgotten the pain, but they let the gold thieves go. The Tartars came across the Yellow River to kill, but what can they do to help those stupid birds and stupid donkeys? They all expect me and my brothers to deal with the aftermath!?"
After hearing this, Xiao Tang let out a long sigh, and then said leisurely: "The Xiao Jiasui brothers on the eastern front are very resourceful and good at making decisions, and Liu Jinglue is also a veteran general. However, we have to beware of the Jin army defeating them one by one, so it is difficult to spread out the defense line and defend it comprehensively. As for the In addition to Zhang Shuye, the Song Army also had Zhang Suo, the supervisory censor. I also heard from Xiaoyi, who was paying attention to Bianjing's news, that he was demoted to Fengzhou as the deputy envoy of Tuanlian when he was being held accountable for his disobedience. Prefectural resettlement... and I heard from the previous report that Zongze, the veteran minister appointed by the imperial court as the commander-in-chief of the Hebei Military and Horse Capital, rushed to Jingdong Road and took up his post. There were also Liu Kai, Wang Yan and others, although they were brave and brave. Even if you can lead an army, it will be difficult to deal with the huge force of the Jin army. Except for a few of them, if you teach other ministers to lead the army to resist the Jin army... most of them will be of no use, just as Saburo said. "
Shi Xiu hugged his arms and sneered, and said: "The Zhemo Jin Army found out that my brother was leading his troops to help Hedong, and he planned to go straight to Bianliang, Tokyo? According to me, now that my brother has accepted the responsibility of the marshal of the world's soldiers and horses, If we have the power and position, it is better to just let the Tatars kidnap the two emperors and old men to the north. Anyway, the Song Dynasty is probably using our brothers to resist the Tatars. If they want to kill someone with a borrowed knife, with my brother’s current name and reputation , it might as well be impossible..."
Before Shi Xiu could finish her words, she was interrupted by Xiao Tang waving his hand. Then Xiao Tang pondered for a moment, then unfolded a map with the capital, Jingdong Road, mountains, rivers, cities, and dangerous passes, and said: "Now the Song army in the east is focusing on the dangerous passes around Bianjing, and the direction of the Jin army's southward invasion is also somewhat strange..."
After Xiao Tang finished speaking, he stretched out his hand and pointed at Zi, Yi, Wei, Mi and the Jinan Prefecture where Liu Yu was located, roughly making a circle, and said: "The area where the Jin Army and Liu Yu's traitors gathered together The troops and horses are eager to capture Dongping Prefecture, attack Qing Prefecture, Xuzhou and other places, and fight with the troops and horses of the Xiao Jiasui brothers and Liu Jinglue in recent days..."
As he spoke, Xiao Tang moved his finger along the mentioned state capital, made another circle, and then said: "What's more, Liu Yu's traitorous national traitor, and Chen Xizhen are also old acquaintances of our brothers. Well, even though he had defeated that guy and a handful of birds who were still following him, he had dealt with Qingzhou Mountains and Shuibo Liang Mountain, and he was also familiar with the surrounding terrain and military aircraft. Now the Jin Army suddenly suddenly Going south, and the direction of the main attack does not seem to be Bianliang, Tokyo, so where will those guys definitely go?"
Although Shi Xiu was not a handsome man who was good at strategizing, he was a clever and alert person. When Shi Xiu followed Xiao Tang's finger on the map and looked at it, he also found that the two roughly drawn circles were quite similar.
Kanye was also encircling Jeju, where Shuibo Liangshan was located, and Qingzhou, where Erlongshan Dazhai was located. After listening to Xiao Tang's reminder, Shi Xiu's face became more and more gloomy, and he couldn't help shouting and cursing:
"Brother, what I have learned is that these dog Tatars are still going south to invade the state and seize the county. In order to recruit the dog slaves who work for the tiger, it seems that they are bound to capture the two strongholds of Erlongshan and Liangshanbo!
