The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Wanyan Zongfu got the news many days after the fall of Pingzhou, but he was unable to get out of here. These days he was busy and frustrated. First, in Ruzhou, the border residents of the Song and Jin countries caused conflicts due to several horses.

Then, a war was formed along the border. The Song army once occupied Ruzhou and conquered Shimen Pass. When the troops were approaching Juyong Pass, he had to lead the army to reinforce.

But when Zong Fu quickly rushed to Juyongguan, he received news that the envoys of negotiations between the two countries turned their faces. The Song army crossed the Jiehe River and captured Xincheng. He hurriedly asked for help from Nanjing. When Wu Shu led his army to Yanjing, he led his army to Yanjing.

In the battle, the Song army drove back to Hebei, but his ambitions expanded sharply due to this victory. He actually wanted to take this opportunity to conquer Datong. He led his troops from Yanjing to Juyongguan and sent him back to Yanjing.

After Wu Shu succeeded to the Marshal of the East Road, his strength has continued to expand in the past two years, and his temper has also grown up. He has taken Zong Fu, the brother who is the deputy commander seriously. Zong Fu persuaded him a few words and led the army back. On the way

I received an urgent report from Yin Shukao to 500 miles. The peace talks between the two countries were completely broken. The Southern Emperor issued a manifesto to fight against the Jin Dynasty and wanted to personally conquer Yanjing. However, Zong Fu had not yet recovered, and the second urgent report was again

When he arrived, the Song army launched a large-scale attack in the early morning of the next day, crossed the Border River and then trapped in Xincheng. Yinshu led his troops to defend Qigou Pass to the death and let him lead his troops back to the rescue as soon as possible!

Zong Fu hurriedly led his troops and trotted all the way back to Yanjing Mansion. Before the chair was still hot, the news that the Southern Dynasty emperor led his troops to land across the sea in Yingzhou, Pingzhou fell, and the Luanzhou crisis was at his level.

The desk. Zong Fu looked at the urgent report and felt a chill. The Song army was prepared for peace talks between the two countries, the emperor's southern tour, the soldiers invaded Juyongguan, and the intelligence sent back by Qin Hui were all tricks by Zhao Erzhe.

They got smoke to protect the Song army from Yingzhou and seized their way.

At this time, the Jin army was in a crisis of being attacked from all sides. To the west, the Song army was pressing against Yanjing from Juyongguan. To the east, a large number of Song troops landed on the sea. To the south, the Song army confronted them in Zhuozhou. At Juyongguan Wushu defeated the Song Dynasty.

The army alleviated the threat to the west, but the war situation was still in decline. Yanjing was in danger on both sides. Faced with the crisis, it was really a tiger on the front door. The back door was a leopard, and there was a wolf squatting outside the window!

"God of the Valley, is it now to save Pingzhou or Yanjing?" Zong Fu was in a dilemma. Fortunately, there was still a military supervisor Wanyan Xiyin who could discuss it.

"Protect Yanjing!" Wanyan Xiyin immediately expressed her opinion.

"Why?" Zong Fu asked in surprise when he saw that he made a decision so quickly.

"Zhao Erbians divided into three groups to attack, but in fact he intended to be Yanjing. If we go to Pingzhou now, then the garrison of Yanjing will be empty and will definitely be taken by the Song army on the south. As long as we defend Yanjing, the Song army will be divided into two groups.

The two places cannot meet. Zhao Er came from the sea one after another, and his troops would be weak and it would be difficult to replenish materials. But he had to fight on both sides. As long as we defend Yanjing and concentrate our troops to defeat the Song army on the southern route first. Then we attacked with the Dushen army, Zhao Er would definitely

It's hard to escape." Wanyan Xiyin analyzed.

"Zhao Er has many tricks. Now the Nanjing army is in Juyongguan, and his back is empty. If he takes advantage of the decisive battle with the Song army in the South Road to attack Yanjing, how can he deal with it?" Zong Fu thought for a while and said.

"Zhao Er came from the sea. He seemed to be a surprise soldier, but he was also taking risks. He just wanted to use the capture of Nanjing to cause panic among us. He hurried to rescue him and create a chance for the Song army in the south to capture Yanjing. If the Song army is not in charge of the Song army.

If we conquered Yanjing, we were unable to recover Nanjing for a while, and we would fall into a situation where we were attacked from both sides and were eaten by their two armies. As a result, we lost both places and completely lost the Jiuzhou behind the mountain!" said Wanyan Xiyin.

"Well, the words of the God of Valley are reasonable." Listening to Wanyan Xiyin's analysis, Zong Fu felt his eyes lit up, "Since the news of Pingzhou's fall has been sent to Yanjing, Du Shuiding also knows that he will not

He would sit idly. He would definitely hear the news outside the pass and send troops to help. At that time, Zhao Er was too busy to take care of himself and did not even take his hands to attack Yanjing, but he was afraid that he would not have time to protect himself!"

"Even if we fail to defeat the Song army on the southern route, we can retreat to Yanjing City and rely on the strong city to defend and wait for assistance!" Wanyan Xiyin smiled. In fact, there was still no sentence. The repeated failures taught him a profound lesson.

Second, he was really afraid of fighting in the plains.

"Okay, follow the plan of the God of Valley, we immediately set off an army to Zhuozhou to defeat the Song army's southern route first, and then turn back to capture Zhao Er alive!" Zong Fu said with a bold attitude.

The plan has been decided, and Zong Fu decided to send troops. Now there are five standing troops of 10,000 teams in Yanjing Prefecture, plus a 10,000 team left by Wushu in Zhuozhou, a total of more than 60,000 people. But this battle is related to Yanjing

Life and death, of course, the more soldiers the better, so all the young and strong soldiers in Yanjing were conquered. At that time, Nanjing City was already a large city, with 300,000 residents of the Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen and other tribes in the city alone.

So more than 50,000 people gathered in a short period of time.

Just when Zong Fu rectified his troops and left the city, news came again. Under the fierce attack of the Song army, Qigou Pass was lost. Yin Shu could lead 3,000 remaining troops to retreat to Fanyang City to defend him. Please send troops to rescue him quickly!

………

Zhao Yong's name is worthy of the word "Yang". He fought bravely and has been on the front line since the army, fighting against Dangxiang people, Khitans, and Jurchens. He was ordered to lead an army composed of surrendered troops to secretly enter Datong.

After years of hard work, he established a base, stabilized the situation in the northwest, and expanded a unit of less than 10,000 people into a Kruel army that could be comparable to the loyal and brave army.

Zhao Qi also loved Zhao Yong very much and gave him the greatest trust. After entering the Central Plains with the emperor, he participated in the battle to seize the capital, quell the civil strife, and eliminate bandits. It can be said that he was the general with the richest combat experience under his command. Moreover, his

After ascending the throne, he handed over the most important northern defense task to Zhao Yong. Once the capital changes, he can quickly lead troops south to serve the king. It can be said that he is another guard outside the capital.

After the emperor decided to fight the Northern Expedition, Zhao Yong trained troops in Hebei to prepare for war. He can be said to be the earliest, most important, and most experienced among the senior generals of the Song army, and was used to facing powerful enemies alone, and was not afraid of it. However,

, you can despise your opponent strategically, and you must pay attention to it tactically.

In response to this, Zhao Yong made careful preparations before the war, sent scouts to investigate the terrain and hydrology of the Yanjing area in detail, and conducted targeted exercises before the war to familiarize himself with the situation, so he took the lead at the beginning of the battle.

On the night when Zong Ze submitted his letter of war to Yin Shuke, the Song army, who had completed the war preparations, crossed the Baigou River under the command of Zhao Yong, and advanced sixty miles in one day to recover the new city, Guiyi, Yongqing

Three cities and soldiers arrived at Qigou Pass.

Qigou Pass was a sad place for the Song army. In the third year of Yongxi, Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi gathered elite troops from all over the country to attack Khitan in the north, hoping to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. The Song army attacked in three ways, and Cao Bin was appointed as Youzhou Road in the east.

The army was deployed in the cavalry and infantry water and land, Cui Yanjin was the deputy, leading more than 100,000 troops, and advanced north from the Xiong and Ba areas with flat and open terrain, heading north to Gu'an and Zhuozhou; Mi Xin was also deployed in the cavalry and infantry army, the northwest road of Youzhou.

Lead a unit of troops through Xincheng and head to Zhuozhou.

Before the reinforcements arrived, the Liao general Yelu Xiuge knew that he was outnumbered and avoided fighting with the Song army. He made a bluff in the daytime and sent light cavalry to harass him at night. He secretly submerged some of the troops to ambush the Song army, cut off the food route, and exhausted the Song army.

The Bin tribe was in Zhuozhou for only more than ten days, and he wanted to retreat to Xiongzhou because his food and grass were not allowed to continue. He was stopped by Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty and ordered him to join the Baigou River and capture the new city along the Baigou River, accumulate strength, and wait for the opportunity to move north.

.

After Cao Bin led his army to Xincheng, because his subordinates were eager to seek merit, they had not yet arrived, so they met on the west road, and then they rushed forward to attack Zhuozhou again. It was the heat of the summer and was blocked by Yelu Xiuge along the road. The progress was slow and he arrived in Zhuozhou again.

The troops were exhausted. At that time, Xiao Chuo had already led his army to the east of Zhuozhou and formed a clamping force with Yelu Xiuge. Seeing that the situation was unfavorable, Cao Bin led his army to retreat in the rain.

On the third day of the fifth month, Yelu Xiuge led his cavalry to Qigou Pass and defeated the Song army. Cao Bin led his army to retreat to the Jumahe River, robbed him overnight, and in a panic, people and horses stepped on each other, with many casualties. Retreat to the south of Yishui

He was chased by the Khitan army again, and his soldiers were frightened and killed tens of thousands. The rest of the people retreated to Gaoyang before they stopped. At this point, there was a saying that "Qigou was in the fall of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty was in danger of resurrection"...

The western part of Youyan area is the western mountain of the Taihang Mountains, and the north is the Jundu Mountains of Yanshan Mountains. The two mountains intersect at Nankouguangou, forming a semicircular mountain bend that spreads to the southeast. It is now called the "Beijing bend".

The small plain it surrounds is the small plain in Beijing. As the ancients said: "The land of Youzhou is surrounded by the sea on the left, Taihang on the right, Juyong on the north, He Ji on the south, and Chengtianfu on the country."

This also shows that although the southern part of Youzhou is mostly plains, there are many rivers, which is not conducive to the large-scale movement of the army. Therefore, after Zhao Yong led his army across the border river, he did not attack in different ways like Taizong back then, but led Zhang Suo.

The Gaoyang Road Prefecture Army was arranged on the right wing of the army and was forged along the Yongding River. One was to prevent the Jin army from using cavalry to attack the side, and the other was to keep the food route open. He led the main force to attack Zhuozhou.

Faced with the large-scale invasion of the Song army, the Jin army successively lost ground and retreated northward. The Luzhou Army, which protected the left wing of the army, bravely moved forward under the leadership of Yue Fei, gradually surpassing the brigade and arrived outside Qigou Pass first, without waiting for the Central Army.

When he arrived, he launched an attack, but kicked it on the iron plate.

Qigou Pass is set up on the east bank of Qigou River. It is named after the water. The Tucheng is built around it. The Tucheng is 130 meters wide from north to south and long from east to west. The northern city is 130 meters long and the southern city is 150 meters high, three and four meters high.

The form is dangerous, and there are also Qigou Rivers as a natural barrier, which can be called a dangerous pass and a dangerous pass, and it is a place that must be fought for by military strategists.

Under Zhao Qi's repeated attacks, the Jin army suffered heavy losses and many generals fell. However, the Jin army was a powerful brigade, with many generals under its command. Although its combat effectiveness was not as good as its heyday, it was not a single one that anyone could control.

Soft Persimmon. At this time, the guard in the pass was the famous Wanyan Silver Skill. He was a gentle envoy in the negotiations. Now he was wearing armor and was a powerful general... (To be continued...)
