Reborn Yue Feizhi returns my rivers and mountains

In the autumn of the first year of Jingkang, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty Wanyan Wu begged for money and ordered Xiao Zhonggong from the Liao Dynasty to envoy the Song Dynasty to discuss the redemption of the three towns. At this time, the three towns were not lost, and the Jin people wanted gold and silver. Emperor Qinzong was not happy, so he sent Xiao Zhonggong to the Song Dynasty to discuss the redemption of the three towns. Seizure so that the money cannot be returned.

Emperor Qinzong had another wishful thinking when he detained Xiao Zhonggong. Under the advice of a group of mediocre ministers, Emperor Qinzong made an extremely ridiculous decision-inciting rebellion against Xiao Zhonggong.He sent people to lobby, saying that Xiao Zhonggong was from the Liao Dynasty, and the Jin people were the culprits in destroying the Liao Dynasty, so they should share the same hatred as the Song Dynasty.Moreover, at this time, Yelu Yujian, an old general of the Liao Kingdom, held military power and was an important figure in the Jin Kingdom. If he could be persuaded to rebel against the Jin, the Song people would definitely raise troops to respond and jointly build a Song-Liao alliance to resist the Jin.

It has to be said that Emperor Qinzong's wishful thinking was very clear. If he really persuaded the Liao Kingdom to surrender its generals and rebel against the Jin Dynasty, it would undoubtedly greatly reduce the pressure on the Song Dynasty. However, he ignored an extremely important issue, which was that The situation of the Liao Kingdom was very different from that of the Jin Kingdom today.

The main premise for the alliance with the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty was that the Liao Kingdom itself had become politically corrupt. The Jin Kingdom had already won consecutive battles on the eastern battlefield. Even without the Song Dynasty alliance, it was logical to win the Liao Kingdom.The reason why Wanyan Aguda was willing to unite with the Song Dynasty to destroy the Liao Dynasty was because he was afraid that the Song Dynasty would take the opportunity to ally with the Liao Kingdom, which would be detrimental to him. In fact, it was a delaying tactic, so he could succeed.

Looking back at the current situation, the Liao Kingdom has been destroyed, even the Liao Emperor was captured, and the Liao Kingdom no longer exists.All the people in the Liao Kingdom's territory moved to the northeast, and the original Liao Kingdom's territory had [-] houses and [-] empty houses.Although the generals surrendered by the Liao Kingdom were highly valued in the Jin Kingdom, their troops and horses were mainly from Jin people, and all the old troops were scattered and reorganized into various armies.Even though Pharmacist Guo made great contributions after the gold was dropped, and Yanjing stayed behind, he still failed to retain his victorious army. It was still scattered and reorganized, and his troops were no longer the same as before.

Looking at the Kingdom of Jin again, many years of fighting at this time made the Jin army extremely powerful, and they were united. All foreign affairs and expeditions were decided by the generals of the army, and there were never any restrictions from the court.Under such circumstances, trying to persuade the old officials of the Liao Kingdom to rebel against the Jin Dynasty was nothing more than wishful thinking.

At this time, Xiao Zhonggong could also see clearly that if he was honest, he might not be able to escape the control of the Song Dynasty, so he falsely claimed that he was willing to help send a letter to Yelu Yu.Emperor Qinzong was overjoyed and did not have time to think about it, so he wrote a handwritten letter, placed it in a wax pill, and handed it to Xiao Zhonggong to carry back the gold.

Unexpectedly, as soon as Xiao Zhonggong returned to the Kingdom of Jin, he handed the Lawan Book to Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang knew that he was loyal and obedient, so he did not blame him and presented the Lawan Book to Jin Taizong. Jin Taizong was furious.At this time, another spy intercepted a letter written by the Song Dynasty to the remnants of the Western Liao Dynasty and sent it to them. It said that the Song Dynasty was willing to ally with the Western Liao Dynasty to conquer the Jin Kingdom and restore the old system of the Liao Kingdom.This letter was like adding fuel to the fire, completely igniting Jin Taizong's anger.So Wanyan Zongwang and Nianhan were summoned to the court to discuss the southern expedition to the Song Dynasty.

Faced with Emperor Qinzong's attempt to alienate the generals of the Liao Kingdom and destroy the foundation of the Jin Kingdom, the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom had an unprecedented unity of opinion and decided to raise troops to destroy the Song Dynasty.However, there are some differences in the specific implementation guidelines.

Wanyan Xie was also the younger brother of Jin Taizong. He was in charge of the capital and was mainly responsible for managing military and state affairs. Therefore, all matters regarding the march were left to his two deputy commanders, Wanyan Zongwang and Nianhan, and he did not interfere too much.

Among them, Wanyan Zongwang advocated a steady attack, first going to Hedong and Hebei, and then attacking Bianjing.This strategy was put forward by him after he learned the lesson from his failure to capture Bianjing.At that time, although his army marched forward with great success and marched under the city of Bianjing, forcing Emperor Qinzong to make an alliance under the city, which benefited a lot, but there were also many dangers.He went deep into the area alone, and the land of the two rivers had not yet been conquered. If the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers were not stupid in the end, he might have lost all his troops under the walls of Bianjing.Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang strongly advocated to go to the two rivers first. Even if Bianjing was not reached, the land of the two rivers would be in his pocket. Even if he planned to go south in the future, he would have a foundation.

Nianhan was on the contrary. He believed that Bianjing was the foundation of the Song Dynasty. If Bianjing could not be captured, it would be difficult to defend the land of the two rivers even if it was taken.Because Lianghe is located in the Central Plains, the people are all Song people, and the capital of the Jin Kingdom is far away, making it difficult to care for the people. Therefore, as long as Bianjing is not destroyed, the country will still be there, and the land of Lianghe will be gained and lost again.If Bianjing is taken, the foundation of the Song Dynasty will be completely destroyed, the people's morale will be shattered, and the land of the two rivers will not be taken from below.

The two argued for a long time, and finally Nianhan got so angry that he threw his hat on the ground and said loudly: "The reason why we didn't capture Tokyo last time was because our army was blocked in Taiyuan. If my army also arrived and the two armies from the east and west joined forces, Tokyo would be an isolated city." , is there any reason not to do it?"

When Nian saw that all the generals were silent, he extended his right hand as if to pick up something, indicating that Bianjing should be taken first, and then hugged his right arm to indicate that the land of the two rivers could be moved down.Nianhan's strong fighting spirit and belief in victory also infected Wanyan Zongwang, so he also agreed with Nianhan's opinion.

Seeing that the two men agreed, Jin Taizong immediately issued an edict and ordered Wanyan Xie to be the marshal of the capital and command the capital.With Nianhan as the left deputy marshal, he led the West Route Army to send troops from Yunzhong to capture the prefectures of Shanxi.With Wanyan Zongwang as the right deputy marshal, he led the Eastern Route Army to send troops from Baozhou, conquer the prefectures of Hebei, and cross the Yellow River.The two armies arrived at the foot of Bianjing City in an attempt to destroy the Song Dynasty.

After the imperial edict, the two armies rose up together. It was already past summer. The Jin army's horses had been rested and recuperated throughout the summer. They were already fat and watered. The morale of the whole army was high and everyone wanted to fight.In this battle, the Jin Kingdom mobilized almost all the troops in the country, with a total of 15 elite troops. It was necessary to capture Bianjing before resting.

Let’s not mention the Eastern Route Army for the moment. Let’s talk about the news that Nianhan led the army to send troops from Yunzhong. Emperor Qinzong was shocked and quickly ordered troops to raise troops everywhere to meet the enemy.Among them, Zhang Hao, the inspection envoy to Hedong, sent out [-] troops from Fenzhou.Unexpectedly, Zhang Hao was ineffective and was defeated by the Jin army's vanguard Li Su. The remaining soldiers fled to Wenshui County to camp.At the same time, Liu Zhen's troops left Shouyang and were defeated by General Wanyan Loushi.Then the Jin army took advantage of the great victory, and the generals suddenly joined forces and pulled away quickly to lead the troops, and then defeated Zhang Hao's remnant army outside Wenshui County.

After Zhang Hao defeated Wenshui, Zhang Sizheng led his troops to attack Wenshui at night, and surrounded Tusu He and Ba Lisu in the city. The two generals fought desperately and broke out. Zhang Sizheng led his troops to pursue them and won a great victory.However, the battle was over after the victory, and the troops of Susuhe and Balisu joined forces to attack again. Zhang Sizheng's troops fought a battle with them, were defeated and fled, and in desperation retreated to Fenzhou.

On the other side, the Zhe Keqiu Department was also defeated by the Jin Army in Xiashan.After several major defeats, the soldiers and civilians of Weisheng, Longde, Fenzhou, Jincheng, Zezhou, and Jiangxian counties crossed the river and fled south. The states and counties were all empty, and there were no more soldiers to defend the enemy. The Nianhan army was no longer blocked, and it was a smooth journey. Along the river, troops were sent to Taiyuan City again.

At this time, Taiyuan City had been besieged by the army for more than eight months. Wang Zhen and Zhang Xiaochun were guarding Taiyuan together. Nianhan sent people to surrender several times but was severely rejected.From the early spring to the end of autumn, the Jin army attacked the city several times, but they were all repelled by the two men and the soldiers and civilians in the city. However, for the soldiers and civilians in the city, these two hundred days were like a year.At this time, Taiyuan City had no food and grass inside, and no reinforcements outside. Seventy-eight percent of the soldiers and civilians in the city were killed or wounded. However, under the leadership of Wang Zhen and other generals, their morale was still high and they refused to retreat.But this time Nianhan's army comes again, and Taiyuan Mansion is in danger!
