Chapter 140 Capture the Central Capital, destroy the gold in three battles
The night was dark, so dark that I couldn't see my fingers.
The army was preparing, Yue Fei was waiting, Liu Xiu was also waiting, it was already midnight, but there was still no news, and he was getting a little impatient.
Yue Fei and Liu Xiu looked at each other and suppressed the impatience in their hearts.
Suddenly, in the night, there was the sound of firelight.
In the light of the fire, the shouts of killing rose to the sky, the killings continued, and the capital was in chaos. The next moment, the city gate slowly opened, Liu Xiu waved his big hand, and the army rushed in. He was not in a hurry to expand the victory, but took the lead in consolidating the city gate.
Keep charging and attacking directly towards the palace of Jin Kingdom.
The fighting started, and there were shouts of killing everywhere.
After a night of killing, by daylight, all the Jurchen troops in Zhongdu were wiped out.
Zhongdu fell.
Standing on the city wall, Liu Xiu was in a trance.
The central capital of the Jin Kingdom, and the city of Beijing in later generations, became the land of the Liao Kingdom after the Five Dynasties. Later, the Song Dynasty never regained it. Now, it was easily captured.
"Youzhou City was captured like this!" Yue Fei said: "We have done what Taizu failed to do in the past. The Jurchen army is too weak!"
"This is just a second-line force. Soon, the Jurchen elite will withdraw from the front line and attack the central capital. That will be the moment of decisive battle!" Liu Xiudao: "As long as we survive that battle, it will be the moment of the Jin army's destruction!"
…………
"Zhongdu has fallen!"
On the front line, Jin Wushu received the news half a month later.
The other Jin troops got the news and went to Youzhou City to take revenge.
The various branches of the Jin army gathered together, numbering as many as 400,000.
With the withdrawal of the Jin army on the front line, the situation on the front line collapsed on a large scale, and the Song army gradually regained the lost territory. The political power established by the Jin Kingdom in the north was shaky and seemed to collapse soon. Some Song armies regained the lost ground too quickly and were defeated.
The Jin army counterattacked and suffered considerable losses.
It's just that the general trend is in the Song Dynasty, so this loss is nothing. The Jin army gathered one after another towards Youzhou.
Four hundred thousand golden troops gathered in the land of Youyun, and the moment of the decisive battle was coming.
Instead of holding on to Youzhou City, Yue Fei led 80,000 Song troops to attack and clashed with Jin Wushu's 150,000 troops near Tongzhou.
Jin Wushu couldn't afford to wait. Once the Song armies from all over the country gathered together, the Jin army would no longer be able to recover and took the initiative to attack. Yue Fei also couldn't afford to wait because there was too much grass on the walls of Youzhou. Once the delay was long,
There will be variables.
Neither side could afford to wait, and the Tongzhou War broke out.
The army kept shouting and fighting together!
In the void, Liu Xiu and the Jurchen shaman were facing each other from a distance, each other's breath condensed, ready to fight for their lives at any time, but both sides were waiting for the change of the battle situation below.
It is always the soldiers, the top warriors, who decide the outcome of the battle, not the heavenly masters and earthly immortals. Taoism must not harm mortals, and Taoism must not harm the army, which restricts the monks' performance, so Liu Xiu and the Jurchen shaman can only watch on the sidelines.
.
"Dajin will win this battle!"
Jurchen shaman said.
"Haha!" Liu Xiu said with a smile: "When it comes to cultivation, I am not as good as you; but when it comes to politics, you are not as good as me! From the moment of the confrontation, Jin Wushu lost this battle!"
"Haha, as long as Yue Fei is defeated, the Song army's momentum will be frustrated and they will be able to regain Zhongdu!" said the Jurchen shaman.
"What is victory and what is defeat? It's not just relying on two words!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "It's like the battle of Huang Tiandang. The Song army said that the Song army had won and wiped out tens of thousands of Jin army. Jin Wushu fled in embarrassment; but
The Jin army also said that the Jin army was victorious, burning countless ships of the Song army, severely damaging the Song army's navy, and returned victoriously!"
"It doesn't matter who wins or loses, what matters is how to promote it!"
"Offense is the best defense. In the past, the Song Army did not know how to attack, defended everywhere, and lost defense everywhere; but now, they clearly understand the benefits of offense, open up the sea, use the navy as their base, and continuously attack Liaodong and Youyun areas.
How can the Jin army defend a thousand-mile coastal defense?"
Liu Xiu said calmly: "When the Han people know how to attack, the Jin army will be destroyed. Even if they win this battle and kill Yue Fei, they will be unable to recover!"
The Jurchen shaman was silent.
After a long time, the Jurchen shaman said: "As long as the Song Dynasty continues to use culture to control military force, no matter how good the strategy is, it will be useless!"
Liu Xiudao: "Soon, the Song Dynasty will undergo a great purge, and the Zhou rites will be restored at that time. Zhao Gou can't stop this. If he can, I don't mind changing to another emperor!"
The Jurchen shaman was silent.
Below, the battle continues, and the fight is still fierce.
But the Jurchen shaman became increasingly cold-hearted.
When Liu Bang and Xiang Yu fight, even if they lose a hundred times, they still have a chance to get their money back; but if Xiang Yu loses once, he will be doomed.
The same is true for the showdown between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty. The Song Dynasty lost a hundred times, but it was still the same; but as long as the Jin Dynasty lost once, the country would be shaken.
After fighting for half a day, the Jin army was defeated and fled. Yue Fei won and Jin Wushu was killed.
"I lost!"
The Jurchen shaman sighed, waved his hand and struck out with a sword, and the void burst open.
The next moment it entered the void and disappeared.
The Jurchen shaman ascended.
Liu Xiu breathed a sigh of relief, finally no longer needed to fight.
With the help of the national destiny, he can compete with the Heavenly Master. If he doesn't fight, try not to fight!
…………
After Yue Fei defeated Jin Wu, he decided to stick to Zhongdu and wait for the Jin army to attack. As a result, the expected battle had not yet broken out, and all the Jin army troops fled to Liaodong.
Waiting in vain!
Continuous defeats exposed the weakness of the Jin army.
The Jurchens could no longer control the large numbers with a small number, so the Han generals under their command had different ideas and one after another decided to do whatever they wanted.
There are 400,000 troops, a large number of people, but among them there are more than 300,000 Han troops.
If the Jin army was strong, these Han troops would naturally be loyal and charge forward.
However, the Jin army suffered successive defeats, and the Han army was no longer loyal.
It is impossible to attack Youzhou. We can only run away, run back to our hometown, and run back to Liaodong.
Yue Fei was also shocked when he learned about the Jin army's escape.
"The Jin army was destroyed in three battles and the north was recovered in one year. The Jin army was too weak to fight!" Yue Fei said, a little unbelievable, as if in a dream.
"It's not that the Jin army is too good at fighting... but that there are too many smart people in the Song Dynasty!" Liu Xiu said lightly: "Xiang Yu can fight, but he is not smart; Han Xin can fight, but he is not smart either. The Jurchens of the previous generation were able to fight, and most of them
Not smart; but this generation of Jurchens are all smart, but they can't fight! The army is not a place for smart people!"
"It's time for news from the South!"
Liu Xiu thought.
At this moment, the Yue family's army numbered 150,000, making them the largest warlord in the world, and they were already qualified to be Liu Yu.
Yue Fei will not go to the so-called Feng Bo Pavilion.
It’s time for some literati to go to Fengbo Pavilion.
A country without tens of thousands of scholars will not perish. The Jin Kingdom and Mongolia could still prosper without many scholars who read the books of saints and sages. But a country cannot do without soldiers. Soldiers are important matters for the country and the key to life and death!
But starting from the Song Dynasty, the social status of soldiers has been getting lower and lower day by day!
Using civil society to control military affairs not only reduces the status of generals, but also reduces ordinary soldiers to the level of prisoners, even to the point where they have to have tattoos on their faces and hands. The sense of honor of soldiers is gone!
And how can an army that has completely lost its sense of honor fight a war?
The Han Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty, and the later Red Dynasty were not proud to be soldiers!
And in the Song Dynasty, which good man prided himself on being a leading soldier?
They are not proud of being a soldier, but despise being a soldier. This has been the case since the Song Dynasty. It was not until the establishment of the Whampoa Military Academy in later generations and the Red Party of Guo Party began to pay attention to the army that the status of soldiers was improved and China began to rejuvenate.
It's time for news from the south.
Not long after, news came from the south that a treacherous official had come up with a plan to kill the hero.
Zhao Gou was furious and killed eight hundred scholars, known as the Fengbo Pavilion Massacre.
Zhao Gou said: "When Le Yi destroyed Qi, the prince was instigated by the high official Qi Ji and slandered King Yan Zhao, saying that the general Le Yi wanted to rebel and become the king of Qi. King Yan Zhao said that Le Yi avenged the late king and was a benefactor of Yan.
. Even if Le Yi is the king of Qi, it is appropriate! After King Yan Zhao beat the crown prince, he sent an envoy with a staff to see Le Yi and made Le Yi the king of Qi. "
"Now, Yue Fei avenges the late emperor and regains the northern land, just like Le Yi, so what if he is granted the title of king!"
Soon after, an envoy was sent to confer Yue Fei as King of Yan.
Yue Fei declined and returned to the imperial capital.
Zhao Gou went ten miles out of the city to meet him, and they rode together in the carriage. The king and his ministers were in harmony.
Soon after, the Zhou rites were restored and enfeoffment was launched. The Central Plains became an unenfessable land, and all the border areas were entrusted to various meritorious officials and many clans.
