Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Just when Du Chong caused chaos in Bianjing and caused banditry to rise again in the Central Plains, a big discussion about the southern invasion was going on in the Jin court.

On this day, after Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty, after Wanyan Wu begged to go to court, he said to the ministers: "Now that it is autumn, and I heard that Zongze returned to his hometown due to illness, Du Chong was replaced as the left guard in Bianjing City. He was incompetent and completely useless. According to Zongze's policy, the land of the two rivers is now in chaos, and our dynasty is at its peak. I intend to send troops south again, directly to Yangzhou, and bring the young emperor of the Southern Dynasty here to accompany his father and brother. What do you think, dear friends? ?" All the officials below agreed, and decided to invade the Song Dynasty.

The right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongfu said: "Now that Guanzhong is tightly guarded and the terrain is dangerous, it is better to order the West Route Army to temporarily suspend its troops and order General Lou Shi to lead the West Route Army to help me move south together."

As soon as he finished speaking, Wanyan Xiyin appeared, and he said in a deep voice: "What Mr. Sanlang said is not feasible. Guanzhong and Xixia are neighbors. The matter is heavy and we cannot stop our troops."

After hearing this, the other ministers discussed and argued endlessly, but Nianhan lowered his head in deep thought without saying a word.Jin Taizong then asked: "I wonder what the Prime Minister's wishes are?"

When Nian rarely asked about it, he leaned forward and replied: "At the beginning, I made an appointment with the Xia people to attack the Song Dynasty from two sides, but the Xia people did not respond. Yelu Dashi was in the northwest to communicate with Xixia. I left Shaanxi and joined forces in Hebei. They must have thought that I was in danger. It is not a plan to steal the enemy's troops in the meantime. The people of Song Dynasty are weak and Hebei is not in danger. It is better to attack Shaanxi first and outline the five routes. After reaching Western Xia, we can then take the Song Dynasty." Nianhan means to ignore it for the time being. Jianghuai and other places concentrated their efforts on pacifying the Guanzhong area and gradually compressed the living space of the Southern Song Dynasty. This was a steady and steady strategy.However, Wanyan Zongfu and other generals did not know their plan, so they were still arguing.

In the end, Taizong of the Jin Dynasty made the final decision: "King Kang should chase him wherever he goes. After the Song Dynasty is pacified, he should establish a auxiliary like Zhang Bangchang. The land on the right side of Shaanxi cannot be abandoned. We should divide our troops to capture it." So he ordered Wanyan Lousu to take it. He continued to pacify Shaanxi, and ordered Nianhan to continue to lead the Central Route Army southward into the Central Plains. The East Route Army, still led by Wanyan Zongfu, sent troops from Yanjing, met with Nianhan's army in Liyangjin, and then marched southward.

Just when the Jin army decided to move south, the entire Central Plains was falling into chaos due to Du Chong's perverse actions.First, the rebel Ding Jin led his troops to invade Huaixi, and then Yang Jin led tens of thousands of cavalry to plunder the Ruzhou and Luoyang areas.

This Yang Jin is known as the Hornless Ox. He once said that he has 30 troops. He and Wang Zaixing, Li Gui, Wang Dalang and others each have tens of thousands of troops. They lead their troops to travel between the west of Beijing, Huainan, Henan, and Hebei, invading and looting. Disaster.After Zongze was left behind in Tokyo, he persuaded the bandits with his great righteousness, so they all obeyed. Yang Jin was named Rongzhou Defense Envoy for his meritorious service during the war.At this time, Yang Jin refused to accept Du Chong, so he led his troops to rebel.When Yang Jin marched to Xijing, he declared that he would go north to Yunzhong to recapture Emperor Yuan Sheng, which greatly boosted his reputation.

Zhai Jin, who was left behind in Xijing, heard that Yang Jin was leading troops to invade, so he and his brother Zhai Xing led troops to attack Yang Jin.

When Zhai Jin led his troops to the foot of Minggao Mountain, he met Yang Jinjun. The two armies camped on the east and west banks of the Yishui River and faced each other across the river.At this time, Yang Jin sent hundreds of cavalry across the river to test. Zhai Jin ordered his men to attack halfway across the river. Then Zhai Jin took the lead and crossed the river first. He led his troops to pursue Yang Jin and defeated his troops for dozens of miles, breaking his four camps.Unfortunately, when Zhai Jin charged, his horse was injured by a stray arrow and fell off the horse. The thieves swarmed up and chopped it into pieces.

While the Song armies were attacking each other in the Central Plains and internal strife continued, the Jin army made a comeback again.

The Jin Army on the East Route, led by Wanyan Zongfu, sent troops from Yanjing and was unstoppable along the way. First, his general Wu Lin Tai Tai defeated the Song general Li Cheng in Zizhou, and then his general Meng Guo captured Zhaozhou, and his fourth brother Wu Shu defeated Zheng Zong and Meng's army in Qingzhou.General Wan Yanchang led his troops to defeat the Wuma Mountain Stronghold, leaving King Xin Zhao Zhen on the mountain missing.

This Wuma Mountain Stronghold was the anti-golden base of the Hebei Rebel Army. In the first year of Jingkang, Zhao Bangjie, a Wuyi doctor, organized the rebel army to set up a stronghold on the mountain.In the second year of Jianyan's reign, Ma Kuo defected to Shanzhai and was elected as the leader of the rebel army.Later, the call was made in the name of Gaozong's brother Xin Wang Zhao Zhen, so the Lianghe Rebel Army heard the news and responded. The anti-Jin warriors gathered 10 people and defeated the Jin soldiers repeatedly.

And its leader, Ma Kuo, was also a strange person. He was from Di Dao and his courtesy name was Zichong. He passed the martial arts examination in the eighth year of Zhenghe's reign. He was given the rank of Shangshe in the martial arts examination and received the teachings of Chengjie Lang and the warriors of the Northwestern Route of Beijing.After Zhao Liangsi proposed the strategy of uniting Jin to fight against Liao, Ma Kuo accompanied his father Ma Zheng on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin.

When he was on an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Agu, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty, invited him to hunt with him. As a result, his horse saw a yellow deer leaping up, so he galloped towards it, drew his bow and shot it.Everyone in the Jin Dynasty applauded him. Wanyan Aguda liked his bowing skills, so he sent people to present seven items including mink fur, brocade robes, and rhinoceros belts, saying: "The emperor will give it to the envoy Nan who can gallop and shoot."

Later, when Tong Guan attacked the Liao Dynasty, Ma Kuo went on his own as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom, lobbied the Lord of the Liao Dynasty Yelu Chun, and made great contributions in a verbal battle with Yelu Dashi.

After Tong Guan failed in his second expedition to the Liao Dynasty, the Jin army captured Yanjing. After the Song Dynasty captured the remaining city of Yanjing with a large sum of money, in the fifth year of Xuanhe, Ma Kuang, who had seen the Jin army, met Emperor Huizong and gave a bitter speech to the dynasty. The military power is not established, so please ask the court to strengthen military preparations to prevent the Jin people from going south.At the same time, he also reminded Tong Guan to recruit elite troops from Shaanxi to reinforce Hebei to prevent Guo Yaoshi from rebelling again.However, these suggestions were ignored and ultimately came to nothing.

When Nianhan led his army to invade the south, Ma Kuo entered the Jin camp of the envoy and met with Nianhan in order to withdraw his troops.But unfortunately, this time the two broke up on bad terms.Even so, Nianhan still respected him as a person. When he was leaving, he prepared a rich banquet to see him off. He said that this would be the last time for the two of them to have a drink and have a good time. From then on, they would meet on the battlefield.

Shortly after Ma Kuo returned to the Song Dynasty, the Jin army went south. He went north from Hezhou to King Qin, but was falsely accused of colluding with the Jin people to present the city in Zhending Mansion and was imprisoned.It was not until the Jin army broke through the city that they took advantage of the chaos and escaped.Later, he joined the Xishan Monk Cave Rebel Army to fight against the Jin Dynasty, but was captured by the Jin Army's right deputy marshal Wanyan Zongwang.Wanyan Zongwang knew his name and wanted to grant him an official position, but Ma Kuo refused. Wanyan Zongwang had no choice but to allow him to set up a wine shop to make a living.

After the Jin people returned to the north, Ma Kuo joined Wuma Mountain Village. Because of his reputation, he was promoted as the leader. He also invited Xin Wang Zhao Zhen to join the mountain as a call to action. He gained [-] righteous men and harassed the Jin army several times.

When Zongze was left behind in Tokyo, Ma Kuo contacted him to discuss important matters. Unfortunately, Zongze returned home due to illness, and the matter went unresolved.

At this time, Ma Kuo heard that the Jin people were making a comeback, so he wanted to gather troops to cross the river in Daming Mansion and recover the lost counties.When his army arrived at Guantao, they heard that Jizhou in the north had been defeated and that the Jin army was approaching Bozhou.After hearing this, all the generals under his command were hesitant and did not dare to enter. His deputy general Ren Zhong and the commanders Qu Xiang and Du Lin fled one after another.But Ma Kuo was unmoved and led his troops to attack Qingping County, Daming Prefecture.

At this time, Wanyan Zongfu had already received the news and formed a formation in the south of Qingping City, waiting for the horse to expand.When Ma Jian's army arrived, he saw that the Jin people were on guard, so they also ordered the army and horses to form a formation. The two armies were separated by a stone's throw, facing each other from the north to the south.

Wanyan Zongfu also heard about his name for a long time, and personally went out to persuade him to surrender: "General Ma's reputation has spread far and wide. My second brother Zongwang couldn't bear to kill you. Why did he leave without saying goodbye to your official position, farmland, and wine shop? Instead, he gathered a crowd to meet me. A big country is the enemy? Now that Wuma Mountain has been leveled, Zhao Zhen does not know whether to live or die. If the general can return to Dajin, he will still retain his wealth. If he persists in his stubbornness, Qingping County will be the place where you will die."
