On the afternoon of June 28, Luan Jia, escorted by civil and military officials, returned to Tokyo. At this time, the city of Tokyo was already in an uproar.
This is of course. Although the serious Di Daily newspaper cannot be printed so quickly, and the handwritten supplement Di Daily cannot be circulated on such a large scale in such a fast time, some basic information about Baima Shaoxing has been
The news spread by word of mouth along with the officials who returned to Beijing in advance... But unexpectedly, regarding this serious political event that was almost a major change, the various remarks on the streets were really widely discussed and controversial.
Just two things.
The first thing is, of course, that the peace talks cannot be reached, and war is expected to continue.
The other incident was that the officials publicly ridiculed the two saints in Shaoxing and Tianjin, and sent the two saints and their clan members directly across Tokyo City to Shaolin Temple, Dongxiao Palace, and Nanyang... For the people, this kind of naked violation'
The act of filial piety was the most shocking, and many people found it difficult to understand.
In this regard, even if everyone knows that the Two Saints are indeed not a thing, and even if some people take the initiative to defend themselves, saying that they are the king and master of heaven and earth, and heaven and earth are still above the king and relatives, they still cannot stop the people at the bottom of the market from acting based on the ethics of filial piety and brotherhood.
It is conceivable that from now on, this young official is destined to have a moral stain that is impossible to clean away.
Zhao Jiu's scolding of relatives is probably on par with Li Shimin's imprisonment of his father.
Not only that, the seventy or eighty important ministers who were purged were also labeled as loyal ministers and filial sons who were unavailable for upholding filial piety and justice, so much so that they resigned in anger. Even Zhao Guan's family encountered the classic Xuande Tower blockade.
Drama - Several elderly Confucian scholars wrote in the name of Fu Que, requesting Zhao Guan's family to take Emperor Taishang Daojun back to the palace to support him.
The reason is, of course, it is impossible for the two saints to seize the throne or something.
However, even though it was a bit unexpected, Zhao Jiu was too lazy to pay attention to anything... What else could he do? The deal is now done, and he has to look to the future. There are a lot of things to do. Is it possible for him to do it because of a few Fu Que?
The old man summoned the newly appointed director of Shaolin Temple, Fahe, and stuffed him with two kilograms of arsenic?
Those two things will be forgotten in the corner by everyone sooner or later, but they will only be remembered by history.
Therefore, the Zhao Guan family did not pay attention to the elderly Confucian scholars in Fuchou, nor did they punish these people. Instead, they rode directly past these people and entered the main entrance of Xuande Tower.
However, since the Zhao Guan family showed a refusal attitude like a dead pig that is not afraid of boiling water, in turn, some people began to take the initiative to speculate.
On only the second day, Wan Qixi, the imperial censor in the palace, once again reported the differences between Taizu and Taizong brothers; Shenzong's successors; Zhezong and Taishang Daojun and Emperor's brothers; Yuansheng and Jinshang...
It was the name of the brothers of the Zhao Guan family, and they requested to reorganize the ancestral temple and clarify the ancestral system.
To be honest, with Zhao Jiu's low-end patriarchal knowledge, he may not even understand what the clan system is and the rules of the Seven Temples and Nine Temples. That is, the one who played Wan Qixi did not misunderstand that this matter was related to
The Confucian scholar who blocked the road yesterday meant the same thing, but it was Wan Qixi who made the official understand instantly and knew that there must be something fishy.
Because in any case, with two ministers, one minister, two nine ministers, and one eunuch vacant, and Wan Qixi had made his position clear as early as that day, then this guy's actions at this time would always be unreasonable.
There is no way he is here to disgust his Zhao Guan family.
So, Zhao Jiu called Yang Yizhong, a know-it-all, and after asking about it, he immediately woke up.
It turns out that since ancient times, the number of places for immortals in this ancestral temple has been limited, about seven or nine, and these seven or nine, the rules of the great Confucian Zheng Xuan are also the principles of Confucian Wang Su, no matter
No matter what, there is only one ancestor... For example, the former Han Dynasty was Taizu Gao Emperor Liu Bang, and the later Han Dynasty was Han Dynasty ancestor Guangwu Emperor Liu Xiu... As for Zhao and Song, there were too many problems from the beginning because of Taizu and Taizong.
The dispute over the ancestral temple name.
When Yang Yizhong said this, Zhao Jiu already understood it.
Although I don't know the twists and turns of etiquette and rules in it, Wan Qixi's memorial has already vaguely pointed out a key point, that is, since he, the Zhao Guan family, is trying to establish a 'New Song', he might as well use etiquette and law to deal with it.
The previous Zhao Song made certain cuts to lay the political and legal foundation for Zhao Jiu, the founder of the "New Song Dynasty"... In this way, when Zhao Jiu dies, he can also imitate Emperor Wu and become the ancestor.
But how to say it?
Zhao Jiu was excited for a moment, because this seemed to be something he had to do sooner or later, but he also understood that he was probably not qualified to do this with his current achievements... He really wanted to go straight to Huanglong, destroy Xixia, level Dali, and regain
The real time to do this kind of thing is when we leave South Vietnam and plant a flag in the Western Regions.
Therefore, after some hesitation, the Zhao Guan family left this memorial unpublished.
However, this action immediately caused a miscalculation... and it was a miscalculation on both sides. Then, many speculative officials who remained in office petitioned to tidy up the ancestral temple. Not only did those who originally wanted to leave Beijing and return to their hometowns feel like they were stung by wasps.
When it was normal, they all immediately wrote letters with retained official status, requesting that Zhao Guan's family must maintain the inheritance of Zhao and Song Dynasties.
Even many officials within the imperial court were opposed to discussing the ancestral temple issue at this time.
This senseless incident, coupled with the filling of 70 or 80 key positions, and the debate in the city about the unfilial piety of officials, quickly turned the entire city of Tokyo into a mess.
Things were a little unexpected again... Zhao Jiu originally wanted to make his feelings clear, but unexpectedly, after discussing with Lu Haowen and other ministers, he chose to remain hesitant.
The reason is very simple. According to Zhao Ding, after the punishment of Baima to establish Shaoxing, there will inevitably be a big political aftermath... At this time, the situation of the war in Qingzhou is unclear. However, compared with the current debate, the frontline war is actually the most important thing.
The most important thing is that at this time, it is not necessarily a bad thing to limit the remaining political waves to some unnecessary things, let everyone focus on these things, and prevent the political tide from affecting the Qingzhou war.
Of course, there is another meaning in this, that is, after Yue Fei worked hard for more than half a year, he has just returned to the north and is about to fight again. Does the army lack rest? Will the combat effectiveness not be able to keep up? Moreover, it is a sneak attack from a mountainous area like Yizhou.
, how can you explain to the world if you fail?
In this regard, although Zhao Jiu had a blind trust in Yue Fei, he still followed the good advice.
By the way, Zhang Boying and Yue Pengju definitely didn't know the complicated thoughts of the officials and governors at this time, nor did they know that Baima had become Shaoxing, nor did they know that there was such a big political turmoil in Tokyo... After all, you will know if you calculate the time...
… Yue Fei arrived in Xuzhou in early June, and according to the instructions of Zhao Guan’s family, he and Zhang Jun were required to ensure that they occupied a county in the direction of Qingzhou by the end of the month. Even the nearest strategic target, Yidu, the capital of Qingzhou, was far away from the capital of Xuzhou.
It is a full six to seven hundred miles, and it also has to cross the Yimeng Mountain Road, so it is definitely impossible for him and Zhang Jun to delay any more.
In fact, the imperial camp's front army only rested for five or six days before they selected 20,000 troops and marched together with the imperial camp's right army, which was originally responsible for this defense area.
It is worth mentioning that in this dispatch of troops, Zhang Jun asked his headquarters to do the front part on the grounds that Yue Fei had worked hard for most of the year to divert the troops from north to south, and then Yue Fei led the imperial army to do the rear part.
Although this move was obviously meant to grab credit, Yue Fei had no room for refutation.
Moreover, just when Zhao Guan's family was welcoming the Second Saint in Shaoxing, Zhang Junbu had already carried out a massacre... As of the last day of June, which was the last day of summer in the fifth year of Jianyan, not only Qingzhou fell to the Song Army
In his hands was Weizhou, and Laizhou also chose to surrender in shock.
The reason is ridiculous. Li Cheng and his main force were not at their base in Qingzhou at all, but went to Jinan Prefecture in the east.
After all, don’t forget that before this, everyone thought that peace talks could be achieved, and the Kingdom of Jin was preparing to return the entire Puppet Qi area to the Song Dynasty, so at that time Liu Yu was a little anxious and jumped over the wall, so he used this
He persuaded Li Cheng, who was actually a de facto ruler, and asked him to join forces with him to the west to fight for self-protection.
Of course, as we all know, as soon as Liu Yu made a move, thousands of households in the Jin Kingdom crossed the river and caught him. However, Li Cheng gritted his teeth and emptied his family's assets because of misplaced information, and then
We sent all the soldiers and horses from the three counties and led the army directly to Jinan... I don’t know what the outcome will be now.
Only then did the right army of the imperial camp run into a blind cat and take Qingzhou, Weizhou and half of Laizhou in vain.
It can be said that Zhang Jun alone has completed the task beyond the scope.
"Lieutenant Zhang is not in Qingzhou?"
On the first day of July, the adjourned Yue Fei troops arrived at Linqu and met an acquaintance of the imperial camp’s right army stationed here, the commander Hu Cheng, and a slightly surprised Tian Shizhong. After hearing a few words, Fang couldn’t help but frown.
Eyebrow. "Are you going east or west?"
"Go east." Tian Shizhong bowed his head and answered immediately.
Yue Fei, who already understood the military situation, couldn't help but frown. Even the generals behind Yue Fei were very disdainful... The reason is very simple. At the same time, Jinan Prefecture to the west of Qingzhou gathered the Jin Army, Liu Yu's Department, Li Cheng's Department and other main forces.
, so going west is a head-on confrontation, but going east is different. To the east, Dengzhou and Laizhou are both the most wealthy prefectures in the world, but there are not many defenders at all.
Now Zhang Jun directly led his troops there. It was probably because of his old habit. He knew that Zhao Guan's family was watching this battle, but he still couldn't help but search eastward.
Seeing Yue Fei's expressionless face and the disdainful expressions of the generals in the imperial camp behind Yue Fei, Tian Shizhong did not directly defend himself. Instead, he turned his head and glanced at Hu Cheng beside him.
"Yue Jiedu..." Hu Cheng, who was born as a wealthy man in Yizhou, saw Tian Shizhong's glance and quickly defended his immediate superior. "My Taiwei went to the east for a reason. He said that the official family had been with
He said that after recapturing Jingdong, a navy must be reorganized. Firstly, it can control the Bohai Sea and assassinate the Jin people; secondly, it can suppress Goryeo and force Goryeo to turn; thirdly, the country will be short of money and food for troops, but the East China Sea trade has always been
It was a big profit... and he was confronting the Puppet Qi in Huaidong. He had always known that the Puppet Qi had a naval force in Dengzhou, which was controlled by the Puppet Governor Li Qi. During this trip, he was planning to lead his troops to attack in person.
Capture all the Puppet Qi’s ships.”
Yue Fei's expression did not change when he heard this, and he just nodded casually: "If that's the case, of course it's great."
Moreover, as a frontline tycoon outside the establishment, it is difficult to say whether Hu Cheng is on the official roster of the imperial army. The reason why he is waiting here is naturally because he is a local tycoon in Yizhou and is familiar with the nearby geography;
Secondly, it was also because Zhang Jun took a fancy to his personal relationship with Yue Fei, so he talked to him and asked Tian Shizhong to watch him waiting here to explain... After all, Yue Pengju was also the commander-in-chief of the imperial camp.
, the official's favorite general, if he really catches the flaw, and finally starts a lawsuit before the imperial court, who may be the loser!
And sure enough, after Hu Cheng glanced at Tian Shizhong, he quickly continued:
"Not only the sea ships, but also the direction of Jinan Prefecture in the west. What my Taiwei means is that now Li Cheng has led tens of thousands of troops, Liu Yu's original subordinates, and an unknown number of Jin troops are all in Jinan. If he forcefully
It may not be useful to fight; and if the remaining four counties can be swept away quickly, I dare not say anything else. I can only say that Li Cheng has lost his foundation, and his tens of thousands of troops will definitely disperse in a hurry. Then they will go to Jinan and meet with the officials.
It is most appropriate to arrange to meet the pincer attack over there. Therefore, he wants to ask Lieutenant Yue to go north to Yidu to rest and recuperate. After he leads his troops to sweep the east and comes back, he can then join forces and march westward."
Hearing this, Wang Gui, Zhang Xian and other generals after Yue Fei's death became even more scornful... Zhang Jun not only asked for money, but also took credit. If this arrangement was followed, he would not give up even a single bit of the big credit.
For the Imperial Army.
However, despite the sneers, the generals also felt that Zhang Jun was an old soldier after all. Although his imperial right army took advantage of this arrangement, in terms of the overall situation, it made some sense and did not cause any problems.
the meaning of.
Thinking about it, Captain Zhang knew that the official family was putting a thousand or ten thousand thoughts on this battle, so he didn't dare to go too far.
Unexpectedly, just when he thought that the deal was done and the former imperial army could only go to Yidu according to Captain Zhang's arrangement, Yue Fei's expression remained unchanged this time, but he openly shook his head: "Commander, you are my mother and wife that I entrusted to you."
I won’t hide it from you... Whether Taiwei Zhang is acting for the public or for private purposes, seeking wealth or taking credit, there will naturally be officials who will argue with him after the war, and I will lead the imperial army.
After returning from suppressing the rebellion in the south, he has done a lot of work and the troops are indeed a little tired, so they don't care about these arrangements... The only worry is that he underestimates the enemy."
Hu Cheng was slightly startled, but clearly puzzled.
But Tian Shizhong immediately became solemn, but he took a step forward and said to him: "Liu Taiwei, thanks to the protection of the officials this time, Li Cheng accidentally led tens of thousands of people to be trapped in Jinan. Jingdong is already a smooth road, but
From a military point of view, my lieutenant's arrangements are extremely appropriate, so it shouldn't be considered an underestimation of the enemy, right?"
When Yue Pengju heard this, he did not look at the other party. He just turned around and pointed at the intersection of the surrounding hilly landforms and plain landforms in front of the gate of Linqu City. Then he shook his head and said, "It seems like a smooth road, but in fact, just like this terrain, it's really difficult."
As soon as you walk, you will know that it is still a bit rough... Let's not talk about others, just Li Cheng. This person is very powerful. According to Jiang Ren, he went west with 30,000 to 40,000 people this time. If he thought about it, he would suddenly return to the army.
So what? Will the Jin people really stop him? Moreover, since we send troops, the Jin people will also wake up and say that they have to not stop him, but will formally reconcile and urge him to come over, right?"
Tian Shizhong still disagreed: "That's why my Taiwei asked Taiwei Yue to go to Yidu and Linzi in the north of Qingzhou. It was precisely to ask Taiwei Yue to lead his headquarters as a barrier..."
"I know a little bit about Li Cheng... If I were Li Cheng, I wanted to save my hometown. I knew that tens of thousands of officials were here, but I would not turn around and attack Linzi and Yidu along the Jishui Road." Yue Fei
Still squinting his eyes and staring at the hills on the east side, where the plains meet, he raised his hand and faced it. "I will come from here... to attack Linqu! If Linqu is gone and the Yizhou channel is cut off, not only can Qingzhou be recaptured, but also Qingzhou can be recaptured.
It will turn defeat into victory and lock tens of thousands of officials on the Jingdong Peninsula."
Tian Shizhong was stunned for a moment, and then stopped talking.
It's not that he doesn't want to talk, it's not that he doesn't wake up to Yue Fei's intention... Yue Fei has made it very clear. The key is that after he wakes up, his instinct is to close the door and beat the dog, but he feels a little embarrassed, and then he wants to catch the turtle in the urn instead.
, but even more embarrassing.
I just couldn't find the right words for a while.
"If you say this and let Li Cheng do it, wouldn't it be like shutting the door and beating the dog?" At this moment, beside Tian Shizhong, the awakened Hu Cheng blurted out.
"This is called catching a turtle in a urn." Zhang Xian, who was behind Yue Fei, quickly corrected him.
Tian Shizhong looked at Zhang Xian, who had fought alongside him several times, and Yue Fei also turned to look at his life-and-death friend Hu Cheng. Neither of them spoke.
"Ahem!" At this moment, Wang Gui coughed dryly and looked at Zhang Xian seriously. "Jiedu, if that's the case, are we going to stay here?"
"No." Yue Fei turned around and faced him. "What if we stay here and Li Cheng goes to take Linzi and Yidu? After all, the Qingzhou line is too long from north to south!"
"What should we do?" Tian Shizhong also quickly asked.
"Go the other way, head west from here to meet him, and block him at Zichuan! Only in this way can we live up to the government's trust!" Yue Fei stared at Tian Shizhong and frankly stated his plan.
"I have few soldiers. I wonder if Captain Zhang has any instructions for General Tian before he leaves. Can you come with me?"
Tian Shizhong was silent for a moment. He wanted to refuse, and then moved to Yidu... After all, if his thousands of heavy infantry were to follow Yue Fei's main movement, according to the old rules of the Western Army, he would be the vanguard and die. But I don't know why.
, after glancing at Zhang Xian across from him, thinking of Yaoshan’s experience, he nodded heavily as if by mistake:
"I would like to follow the captain to the west!"
Yue Fei just nodded without saying much, and ordered the whole army to turn around without even entering Linqu. Tian Shizhong also took the post of Hu to stay in Linqu, and led three thousand of his elite troops to accompany him.
The army, numbering 23,000, marched majestically westward along the road formed by the intersection of hills and plains... That night was uneventful, and no enemy was found as far as Zishui.
One day later, at noon, the army was crossing the Zi River. The sentries who had crossed the Zi River first suddenly reported that there was a large group of enemy troops with armor and well-organized troops. They had just come from the hills beside Zichuan City 20 miles away.
It was obvious that he had just crossed the Congshui River, and then crossed Zichuan City without entering, hoping to go directly to Yidu or Linqu!
Look at the flag, it’s Li Cheng!
There is no doubt that Yue Fei's judgment was not wrong.
Afterwards, the two sides' sentinels and cavalry kept coming and going, directly on the hills and plains, and while engaging in fierce sentinel and cavalry battles, they passed on the intelligence from both sides to their respective coaches who were a little unprepared... Even Yue Fei did not expect Li Chenglai.
so fast!
Not only that, soon, as the intelligence was gathered, another thing that put pressure on Yue Fei and the generals was that the number of Li Cheng's troops was far greater than imagined.
There is a sentence here. Li Cheng originally occupied the three counties of Qingzhou, Weizhou and Laizhou in the Puppet Qi Dynasty. He was considered powerful, but he lacked political banners, so he surrendered under Liu Yu. After the battle in Dongping Mansion, Liu Yu's eldest son was captured.
Xiao Yuefei and Kong Yanzhou were killed, but he was the only one who retained his strength. Afterwards, he merged Zizhou into Qingzhou. It was still three counties in name, but it was four counties. Compared with Liu Yu, he looked more like the leader of the puppet Qi... This is actually
The origin of the saying about the five counties in Jingdong is that Zizhou was already in Qingzhou at this time.
According to Jiang Ren, he went on a military rampage in these four counties and raised a total of 40,000 to 50,000 soldiers. He also brought 35,000 troops with him this time, which was much more than the 20,000 that Yue Fei brought this time.
That's why Yue Fei asked Tian Shizhong to send troops to help.
However, according to the report from the sentinels, Li Cheng's troops were densely packed and equipped with horse and foot, and there were no less than 40,000 people! And among them were thousands of people dressed as Jin Army cavalry!
"Lieutenant Yue, before it's too late, do you want to retreat behind Zishui River and stand guard by the river?" Tian Shizhong looked unhappy.
Frankly speaking, Yue Fei was shaken for a moment. After all, he had a meeting with Li Chengguang Jijun and was deeply impressed by this person. He knew that this person was capable and capable, at least no worse than Zhang Rong. It was just a pity.
The ambition was too great... so one of them became a thief from the official family, and the other from a thief became an official soldier.
And for such a person, he has been running three counties in Jingdong for several years. At least the combat effectiveness of the troops is worth seeing... and the returns of the Sentinel Cavalry have also verified this. With an army of tens of thousands, marching into purges, this is not something ordinary people can do.
It is not something that ordinary rebels can compare with.
"Can't."
But after only being shaken for a moment, Yue Fei made up his mind on horseback, even pulled out his sword and waved the order. "One arrow is on the string and has to be fired; two people meet on a narrow road and fight for a breath... You may not win if you meet head-on."
, But whoever retreats at this time will be defeated! Send my military order, and the entire army will be reorganized after crossing the river, and will not stop heading west!"
"east!"
After hesitating for a moment, Li Cheng, who had lost his sword for a long time, his eyes already red, finally slowly pulled out the sword from his waist, and then swung it hard towards the east. "The whole army forms an array and press forward towards the east!"
The immortal cultivating game "Blue Ocean" was launched very quickly, but many players were dismissed due to its high difficulty, but Fang Yue stayed. Three months later, the strangeness came to reality, and the game data was synchronized with reality. When people all over the world were being hunted by the strangeness
At that time, Fang Yue's painting style was different from theirs.
Fang Yue: You are bold and weird. You can tell at a glance that you are not human!
Fang Yue: Weird, I want you to help me practice!
Fang Yue: Weird, do I allow you to escape? The mighty Tianlong!
