The war continues, and even if it enters the stage of stalemate and besieging the city, Nanyang, where the frontline commanders of both sides have gathered, cannot just calm down.
For example, the Zhao Guan family quickly decided on the strategy of using Du Chong as the commander-in-chief and Yue Fei as the general to integrate the soldiers and horses left behind in Tokyo to rescue Han Shizhong.
In fact, this matter was so important that Zhao Jiu felt relieved after finding Du Chong's name on a note urging him to return to Tokyo one day... Judging from this matter, this person
There is no doubt that he is a militant, and at least he gets along well with Zongze in Tokyo.
Yes, Du Chong went to Zhazi as a member of the Tokyo Remaining Department to ask Zhao Guan's family to return to the old capital. This is clearly visible in the Zhaozhao history.
However, when things came to this point, Zhao Jiu was just chatting, because the decision had been made and it seemed that things could no longer be changed.
Moreover, Nanyang is destined to be unsafe.
On the last day of the twelfth lunar month, when the situation in the direction of Tokyo was unclear, Xu Jingheng, Wang Boyan, and Liu Ji in Xiangyang could not sit still for the first time. When Nanyang did not give a reply for a long time and only said that "Nanyang is still stable," Xiangyang carried out the plan.
According to the planned plan, Zhang Jing, the commander of the imperial camp's Chinese army, crossed the Han River, followed the frozen White River north from the east bank, and approached Nanyang City.
At this time, the situation became subtle again, because the Jin army did not attack, but sat back and watched this army move along the Baihe River to the other side of the Baihe River, which was only fifteen miles away from the southeast corner of Nanyang City in a straight line.
Let us also say that the civil servants here in Nanyang always rise and fall with the situation, sometimes happy and sometimes worried:
At the beginning, the Jin Army gave up the siege. Although knowledgeable people made it clear that there must be a conspiracy of the Jin Army. For example, the situation on the front line was worrying, so the Jin Army deliberately opened the passage to let Nanyang City know about it in order to disrupt the position.
'Strategy to attack the heart', but this still cannot stop most people from feeling relieved and relaxed, as if the battle has been won.
Then, as expected, news came from the north, saying that Kansai was defeated, Han Shizhong was in danger in the Wuhe area, Tokyo was ineffective, etc., so the city was in chaos again. The Xiangyang faction seemed to be resurgent, and they agreed with the Zhao Guan family to find an opportunity to leave.
Most of them are mature ministers.
Now, Zhang Jing led four to five thousand soldiers to camp on the east bank of the Baihe River. The Jin army did not attack. Some people actually thought that the Jin army had become discouraged and suggested that Zhao Guanjia send Wang De and Fu Qing out of the city to rob the stronghold?!
Of course, there are still people who understand.
"This must be the deliberate leniency of the Jin army to lure our troops out of the city to meet them, in order to gather and annihilate them below the city." It was Liu Ziyu who came out to speak. These days, even the civilians can relax for a few days because of a break in the fighting, and the soldiers also
He could rotate into the city, but he was busy defending the city in the early stage and helping to plan other plans in the later stage. He was a little tired, but he was still quick to speak out at this time.
"You can't be completely discouraged, right?" Hu Yin, the censor Zhongcheng, frowned slightly. He didn't let the wind fall, but he always felt that offense should be used instead of defense. As early as Nanjing, he believed that Zhao Guan's family should personally conquer the river and cross the river to the north.
, it's just a matter of military affairs, so everyone including Zhao Guan's family will generally ignore him.
Therefore, when Liu Ziyu saw that it was Hu Yin who had spoken, he instinctively got a headache. He didn't know whether it was because of his recent fatigue, or because he simply felt that talking to this person was useless, so he had no intention of defending him in court.
However, fortunately, he has been in the Privy Council for a long time, so he has some prestige and connections, and his subordinates will immediately come forward to confront him.
"I'm taking the liberty of you." When Hu Hongxiu heard such ridiculous remarks and saw that Liu Canjun, who cared for him the most, kept silent, he immediately went out of the queue, but he spoke directly to Zhao Guan's family, pretending not to hear Hu Yin. "
Maybe Jin Jun has a bigger idea!"
"What do you mean?" Zhao Guanjia, who was thinking wildly, came back to his senses and became slightly curious.
"I thought that the Jin army saw this army coming from Xiangyang and guessed that Zhang Tongzhi was here to meet the officials, so they deliberately pretended to be relaxed and waited for the officials to leave the city, hoping to get rid of it once and for all."
.
There was an explosion in the hall, and Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, then gave a rare grin, but did not respond.
"The situation is great. If the officials are not stationed in Nanyang, why go to Xiangyang?" Hu Yin continued to frown after hearing this. "How can Jin Jun'an be so confused?"
"Are the Jin Army really confused?" Hu Hongxiu couldn't help but face the censor Zhongcheng, whose political status was completely different from his own. "Hu Xiantai! The Jin Army didn't do this specifically. They just relied on what they had in their hands.
The cavalry is invincible in the field, so we let Zhang Tongzhi go around. Once he makes up his mind, he can take these four to five thousand soldiers at any time, how can he be stupid?"
"According to what you say, the four or five thousand soldiers commanded by Zhang Tong are all dead at this time anyway?" Hu Yin felt more and more ridiculous. "Facing the Jin people, we can only defend the city and let them abuse us? No matter
Why, at this time, it was wrong for Zhang Tongzhi to come to King Qin to escort him?"
"It's really inappropriate for Zhang Tongzhi to come to the rescue this time. It's like a sheep entering a tiger's mouth." Hu Hongxiu didn't notice the other party's emotions at all, but continued talking on his own.
"Absurd!" Hu Yin was furious. "According to your words, the Jin army should not fight? We just let the Jin people go around and wreak havoc without doing anything? Do you know what it means to respect the king and resist the barbarians? The barbarians
It’s just that our generation has gained power for a while, but as long as China can unite as one and dare to fight, how difficult will it be for the world to recover? Others don’t know this truth, but you, a former Imperial College student who joins the army, don’t know it either?”
Hu Hongxiu was speechless for a moment... It wasn't that he had nothing to say, but he was frightened by Hu Yin.
"Hu Zhongcheng." Liu Ziyu finally couldn't bear it when he saw his subordinate being restrained, and he gritted his teeth and responded. "Do you want to imitate Mr. Li?"
"What do you mean?" Hu Yin was suddenly startled.
"First, follow the example of Li Gongxiang Jingkangzhong in expelling Li Yanxian and Li Fufu, forcing Li Fufu to change his name and flee, and commit a crime to resist the Jin Dynasty!" Liu Ziyu responded solemnly. "Then, follow the example of Li Gongxiang Jianyanchu in expelling Yue Fei and force the latter to surrender to the Yellow River in vain!"
Hu Yin's face turned red, but he couldn't deal with it for a while.
"Can Yue Fei's escape be blamed on Prime Minister Li?" Li Guang, the imperial censor in the palace, hurriedly came out to explain, but got stuck midway. "Yue Fei's escape was caused by Huang Qian who was good at politics at that time, so he expelled it without permission..."
Let's say that, as a censor in the palace, Li Guang was ready to impeach Liu Ziyu immediately after hearing Liu Ziyu's unpleasant words. However, this was obviously in response to Li Gang's unacceptable situation that day, so he quickly suppressed this idea as soon as he opened his mouth.
. But even if he avoided this, he got stuck in the middle of his words. This was because he suddenly realized that his hasty response had not only acquiesced that Li Yanxian's expulsion was the fault of his favored prime minister Li Gang, but also acquiesced that Yue Fei's impeachment that day was the fault of Li Yanxian.
Yes.
But to a ghost?
Yue Fei impeached Li Gang on that day. The impeachment was about "not resisting the Jin" and the requirement was to cross the river and go north. How is this right? Just because Yue Fei won the battle later and is now in use, we can't say that this young man has grown up since he was a child.
Everything you do in college is right, right?
But no matter what happened, Li Guang got stuck, but Liu Ziyu took the opportunity to put his hands up and sneered:
"You two, righteousness is righteousness, and doing things is doing things. In a war, we must talk about doing things first, and then talk about righteousness... Moreover, how do you two know that we don't understand righteousness? When Hu Shenjun and I were facing each other hand-to-hand with the Jinren in Jingkang,
Where are you two talking about such righteousness? Why are you still talking about righteousness after two years?!"
Hu Yin was scolded a lot and instinctively went to see Zhao Guan's family. Only now did he realize a problem...that is, this quarrel should not have happened, because Zhao Guan's family and the two Lu Xianggong still had the minimum ability to control the field, but
However, these three people remained silent. Instead, they all stood there thoughtfully.
"That's good." Zhao Jiu was stunned by Hu Yin's look. He finally stopped thinking and immediately spoke up. "For now, let's sit in Nanyang...send a small group of soldiers and horses across the river to see Zhang Jing as a warning.
Test him and let him be careful."
Liu Ziyu, who had recently become a member of the Privy Council, did not dare to neglect and immediately responded.
However, at this moment, another important member of the Privy Council, Wan Qixi, suddenly gritted his teeth and came out: "Guan family, I have something that I really can't bear. Please confront the official family privately..."
Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, and everyone around him was also stunned.
However, as Zhao Jiu waved his hand, everyone in the hall watched as the rookie of the Privy Council quickly moved to the back hall with the official family.
"Tell me!" Turning into the open space behind the palace, Zhao Jiu stood on the snowy ground, questioning him seriously... Facing this person, it was impossible for him not to be a little wary.
"I shouldn't say anything about this, but I have to say it." Wan Qixi gritted his teeth and cupped his hands. "Guan family, Guan family, do you remember that before summer turned into autumn, the Jin army gathered in large numbers, but was restrained by the Hebei rebel army?
"
"Of course I remember." Zhao Jiu thought that the other party was impeaching someone, but when he heard that the other party was talking about business, he relaxed.
"At that time, the Privy Council and the Nanyang Central Committee did not expect it. I also thought that the matter should have been done privately because the manager of Wuma Shanma failed to report it." Wan Qixi mustered up the courage to say. "But a few days ago, I
Looking through the past memorials to the Privy Council, I found that as early as this summer, Manager Ma mentioned this matter in a letter, saying that if there were any changes in the Jin Army in autumn and winter, he should try his best to delay it..."
The more Zhao Jiu listened, the more confused he became... What is this?
The expansion of people and horses was just a hypothesis and possibility, and it was normal that the Privy Council and the Central Committee did not expect it later.
"I thought it was due to negligence on the part of the Privy Council, but I didn't expect this." Wan Qixi peeked at Zhao Guan's house, and then finally got to the point. "But a few days ago, the officials said they wanted to rescue Han Taiwei and asked about available troops.
, I then spoke to Liu Canjun and asked him if he could mobilize the Taihang Mountain rebels to cross the river, but he severely scolded him... and belittled the Hebei rebels in every possible way."
Zhao Jiu was slightly startled, and finally felt the taste...feelings came to report.
"Just tell me what's going on!" After thinking this, Zhao Guan's family was certainly a little bored.
"Officials, I only found out yesterday that Liu Canjun and General Manager Ma have a personal grudge!" Wan Qixi stared at Zhao Jiu and said seriously. "General Manager Ma was imprisoned in Zhending that day because he was corrupted by Liu Canjun and his son...
...What Liu Canjun and his son did on that day was exactly what Liu Canjun said today, Li Gongxiang did to Li Fufu! It was also because of these words that I could not help but be indignant and asked to call him in private. But these are nothing, they are all old things.
, I shouldn’t mention it more, but the key point is that I am worried that it is because of this relationship that Liu Canjun repeatedly ignores the Hebei Rebel Army when formulating strategies! The officials say that the Hebei Rebel Army cannot be used! Please be clear in your mind!"
Zhao Jiu was stunned for a long time, then nodded slightly: "I understand, you can go back."
