Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

Let us say that Wu Shu returned to Yanshan and was scolded by Jin Taizong. In anger, he wanted to kill him in public. Seeing this, the generals rushed forward to persuade him. Finally, Jin Taizong's anger subsided and said: "Since the generals are begging you, and I think you have made great contributions, so I will spare you the death penalty and be demoted to Marshal Zuo Dujian. You don't have to go south anymore, just go to Yunzhong and obey Nianhan's orders." Wushu Nuonuo retreated.

After Wu Shu retreated, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty ordered Wanyan Salihe, the former deputy commander-in-chief of Shaanxi Province, to serve as the economic envoy of Shaanxi Province and station troops in Fengxiang Mansion to fight against Wu Jie.

Different from the gloom and gloom of the Jin army, when the news of Wu Jie's victory over the Jin army in Monk Yuan reached the court, the civil and military officials in the court cheered, and Emperor Gaozong was even more delighted. He sent a special envoy to the front of the army to pray for him. Wu Jie made a special trip to send an edict of commendation.The edict states:

"The military strength is unprecedented, and the generals who are sure to win will be defeated by using them. Wang Ling restrains the enemy and allows the enemy to be angry. I care about my ministers. I will offer warnings and accept them quickly. I will do my best to protect the generals. I should be the hero of the Western Division and attack the enemy." At the strategic point, we should curb the invasion. We should remember the city of Yongzhou forever and suffer from the recommended food for a long time. When the enemy's power is spread, we should mobilize the troops to advance and the benefits will be doubled. We should set up a strange ambush and lead the march. We can capture all the chiefs of ten thousand households. The group of ugly people who used bows are killed; the majesty is free, and the triumphal performance is heard. The class works hard to promote honors, and the daring ones reward the mediocrity; the teeth are supported to support the festival, and the power to control the marquis is increased. Household rents are increased without hesitation, but real food is still added, and awards are given Hui style, style shows affection. In the play, Di Guo is determined to be in Rong Zhao, and Gaishen's mighty military equipment? Take advantage of the courage of victory and use it to restore the old territory. Waiting for the achievements of the minions, and the oath to smooth the mountains and rivers. Mian Gong is In order to repay the kindness, I can specially give him the title of Military Envoy of Zhenxi Army."

After Wu Jie received the imperial edict, he knelt down to thank him. All the generals around him were also proud of it. This was all because Wu Jie was the first general to fight against the Jin army and established a moral integrity. This was almost the pinnacle of a military general's reputation.This is undoubtedly a good start for the military commanders.

Wu Jie was promoted to high rank, and naturally all the generals under his command also received rewards. His younger brother Wu Lin was promoted to deputy commander-in-chief of the Jingyuan Road Horse Army.Guo Hao first moved to Pizhou to observe the envoys, then to Zhixingyuan Prefecture, and then to Zhilizhou.Yang Zhengze, the brave general under his command, became the governor of Gongzhou.

Facing the defeat of Monk Yuan, the Jin army knew that the troops they had were not enough to deter Shaanxi. In order to better recuperate, they gave the land of Shaanxi to the Puppet Qi.

At this time, Wu Jie was ordered to concurrently serve as the commander-in-chief of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy, control the troops and horses of Xing, Wen, and Longzhou, and fully command the troops of the Sichuan-Shaanxi Xuanfu Disposal Envoy.At this time, Wu Jie deployed defenses on Chencang Road and Yinping Road to prevent the Jin army from taking Shu from the west along Yinping Road, or sending troops from Qinzhou to Longguan Road and entering Chencang Road.

Just when Wu Jie was actively setting up defenses, good news came from Song soldiers from all over Shaanxi. First, Guan Shigu regained Qinzhou and captured the rebel general Guo Zhen. Then the rebel general Li Weide defected and left Minzhou southward.In addition, Fan Zong and Lei Zhong led their troops to capture Shuiluo City, while Sun Zhu led his troops to regain Taozhou.All these strategizing were done by Wu Jie. He saw Wanyan Sali's command of the garrison in Fengxiang, and he predicted that the Jin army thought that he would take advantage of the victory to pursue him, intending to drive the Jin army out of the Guan-Shaanxi area.Therefore, they did the opposite and instead of taking Fengxiang and Baoji, they chose the area west of Liupan Mountain and Longshan as the target of attack.In addition, the Jin State officially gave Shaanxi to the Puppet Qi at this time. During the handover period, the military deployments of the two countries were extremely chaotic, so there were great victories everywhere.

At the same time, Xixia, which had been struggling to survive in the cracks between Song and Liao, also began to make moves. This was all because before the demise of the Liao Kingdom, Chongzong Xiao Qianshun was intimidated by the force of the Jin Kingdom and surrendered to the Jin Kingdom.In order to stabilize the northwest, the Jin State gave the mountainous states to Xixia after the war as bait to induce Xixia to participate in the attack on the Song Dynasty.

However, after the Jingkang Incident, Emperor Gaozong was forced to patrol the south, but the Jin Kingdom went back on its promise. Instead of giving the mountainous states to Xixia, they rebelled and seized the Tiande Army and Yunnei Army that Xixia had previously captured, and used force to He used coercion and forcibly took away Hedong Baguan and other places from the Xixia army.Therefore, Xiao Qianshun was extremely dissatisfied with the Kingdom of Jin, and the people in Xixia were even more angry, and for a time they were extremely hostile to the Jin people.The Jin Kingdom also felt this threat, fearing that the Xixia army would take the opportunity to attack Shaanxi when they attacked Shaanxi. Therefore, in order to alleviate Xixia's resentment and dissatisfaction, they promised that after defeating the Song army and capturing Shaanxi in the future, they would unite northern Shaanxi with Xixia. The neighboring states of Huan and Qing were given to Xixia as compensation.

This time the Jin Kingdom went back on its promise, which made the Xixia court very dissatisfied.Therefore, when the Song and Jin Dynasties were fiercely competing in Shaanxi, although Xixia took the opportunity to extort Fuyan and other places from the Song Dynasty, it never actually sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty.

In order to win over Xixia, Emperor Gaozong sent Xie Liang twice as an envoy to Xixia in an attempt to unite with Xia to conquer the Jin Dynasty.However, because Li Qianshun was afraid of the Jin army, his attitude was very ambiguous and he did not make any statement, because he also fantasized about getting some land after the Jin army captured Shaanxi.After the Battle of Monk Yuan, Wu Jie wrote to Li Qianshun in his own name, expressing his hope that Song and Xia would unite to control the Jin people, but Li Qianshun did not reply.

However, when Shaanxi was occupied by the Jin army, Li Qianshun sent people to Jin and asked the Jin State to grant the land of Huan and Qing to Xixia as promised. Unexpectedly, the Jin State broke its promise again and did not agree.It was not until later that the Jin State granted the land of Shaanxi to the puppet Qi regime. Out of anger, Li Qianshun sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty and sent a reply to Wu Jie. Although there was no substantial progress in this communication, it was opened. The political connection between Song and Xixia also paved the way for the discord between Xixia and Jin.

At this point, the entire northwest war fell into an extremely delicate state due to the handover of power between the Jin Kingdom and the puppet Qi, the ambiguous attitude of Xixia, and the aggressiveness of the Song Dynasty by the northwest generals headed by Wu Jie.

But the New Year was just over, and there was a serious spring famine in Fengzhou, where Wu Jie was stationed, and in the three states where the leaders of the "Eight Character Army", Jin, Jun, Fangzhou's pacifier, and Jinzhou magistrate Wang Yan were located. Due to the war with Jin last year, a serious spring famine occurred.In desperation, Wu Jie and Wang Yan asked Wang Shu, the prefect of Xingyuan, to purchase grain from the Hanzhong Basin to tide over the difficulties.

Unexpectedly, the Likui Road envoy and the Xingyuan magistrate Wang Shu did not agree at this time. Not only that, they also ordered the closure of Shimen Pass, Xianren Pass, and Baoxie Road, prohibiting the export of grain from the territory, and prohibiting Wu Jie and Wang Yan bought grain in Xingyuan Mansion, which is commonly known as "Guanji".

Wang Shu is a headstrong person, but he also has political ability.When he first arrived in Shaanxi, he was at odds with Qu Duan. After he suggested that Qu Duan be killed, Zhang Jun allocated 2000 troops to him and sent them to Xingyuan Prefecture to recruit defeated troops.When Wang Shu came to Xingyuan Mansion, everything was in ruins. He raised a banner and called in defeated troops. The old troops came to surrender one after another, and within a few months, a 2-strong army was built in Xingyuan Mansion.When recruiting soldiers, Wang Shu also adopted the method of drawing one from every two men and two from every third man, and sent young men to Xingyuan Mansion, Yangzhou, and Sanquan County to form a militia unit, with the title of "Righteous Soldiers" ".Moreover, Wang Shu attached great importance to this civilian armed force and sent soldiers to train it strictly.So within a year, this team of "righteous men" grew to tens of thousands of people, with a neat military appearance and a spectacular momentum.

Economically, Wang Shu levied commercial taxes on transactions within his jurisdiction, and thus obtained a lot of money and supplies. He also felt that there would be insufficient food during the war between Song and Jin, so he used the money to purchase and store enough supplies for the army. Three years of food supply, and the construction of sentry booths and fortifications on major transportation routes and important passes, built the entire Xingyuan Prefecture into a tight fortification.For this reason, Zhang Jun also specially reported to the imperial court and awarded Wang Shu the title of direct bachelor of Huiyou Pavilion as a reward.
