Chapter 68 The situation is straightening out step by step, I'm going to start beheading people
In fact, in orthodox history, Zongze and Wanyan Wushu fought against each other.
It was the second year of Jianyan, that is, the beginning of the second year of the Jingkang Disgrace. The Jin army pressed on the border and divided its troops into several groups.
Wanyan Wushu's goal was Tokyo City, and the one who stayed behind in Tokyo at this time was Zongze.
Wanyan Wushu attacked Zongze's Yellow River defense line many times, but could not conquer it. It can be said that they returned without success.
At this time, the generals of the Western Army in Daming City were not unable to fight.
For example, Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun both had victories against the Jin people in history.
Even Liu Guangshi, who is also relatively shameless, has one.
Although the military and political affairs of the Song Dynasty were poor, the Western Army fought with Xixia for a hundred years and almost destroyed Xixia. If the Jin Kingdom had not suddenly risen, Xixia might have really disappeared.
No matter how many bad habits these people have, they are still killing people on the battlefield all year round.
So why are they playing so poorly now?
the reason is simple.
Afraid of being beaten!
In the first year of Jingkang, not only the Western Army, but also the three towns in the north were swept away. All the 100,000 troops in the Zhongshi Division were wiped out, and Yao Gu's tens of thousands of troops were also wiped out.
Taiyuan City was even destroyed and turned into an empty city.
Nearly half of the entire Song Dynasty's military power was quickly destroyed.
Zhong Shidao died of illness, Zhong Shizhong died in battle, Yao Gu died in battle, Zhe Keqiu surrendered to the enemy, and the three great generals who had been inherited for hundreds of years in the Song Dynasty fell.
The enemy easily besieged the capital, and everyone was stunned.
It hasn't recovered yet, and it lacks a strong backbone.
When the Turkic army marched all the way south, the whole country of the newly founded Tang Dynasty was shocked. Prince Li Jiancheng and Emperor Li Yuan both wanted to move the capital to Xiangyang. If Li Shimin had not stood up and suppressed it, the Tang Dynasty might have turned into a southern power after the founding of the country.
The generals of the Western Army in Daming City are in this state now. They are afraid of being beaten and lack a backbone.
In fact, in history, Zhao Gouneng moved from Daming Prefecture to Dongping Prefecture and turned a blind eye to the siege of Tokyo. This was an act of collective acquiescence.
At this time, Zhao Gou looked outside eagerly, hoping to see Zongze's army.
Until April 25th, Wanyan Wushu spent three days with Zongze. Seeing that Zongze was like a weakling who couldn't be killed, forget it, why don't I go back?
Just when there were still people in various states and counties in Daming Prefecture who wanted to surrender one after another, Wanyan Wushu waved his hand: Withdraw troops!
In the afternoon, the news of Wanyan Wushu's withdrawal reached Wanyan Yinshuke.
As soon as Wanyan Yinshu saw that Yan Wushu had withdrawn, he waved his hand: Withdraw his troops.
It was originally meant to cover the withdrawal of large troops, so there was no need to waste them here.
In the evening, Zhao Gou learned about the Jin army's retreat and was immediately overjoyed: "Hurry! Send someone to verify it!"
Everyone in Daming City was overjoyed when they learned that the Jin army had retreated.
At this time, Zongze's commander camp.
"Report! Marshal, the spies reported that the gold thief has retreated!"
Zongze said calmly: "It's a little faster than I expected."
Liu Hao was immediately overjoyed: "Great!"
Liu Hao breathed a sigh of relief. If the Jin people don't leave, they will not have much military rations.
According to the marching speed of the Jin Army, they should have reached Taiyuan City by now as they evacuated from outside Tokyo City.
Wanyan Wushu's withdrawal could be said to be very fast, like a whirlwind, heading north from the Ming Dynasty at a fast pace, fearing that he would fall behind.
The same is true for Wanyan Yinshu.
And those people who were preparing to surrender to the Jin army one after another because Tokyo was besieged, looked at it in a blink of an eye, holy shit! Where are the people?
Early in the morning on April 26, Zongze broke camp and retreated westward.
Liu Hao said: "Marshal, aren't we going to Daming City?"
"We won't go. The crisis for the Daimyo has been resolved. Let's quickly return to Cizhou. The Jin army has just retreated. People's hearts are still undecided. There are many things waiting for us there."
"If the Jin army really retreats, shouldn't we return to the capital first?"
"Now that the Jin army has retreated, the siege of the capital has been lifted, and the officials are safe, I should immediately return to Cizhou to take charge of the overall situation."
Liu Hao sighed and said: "Commander Zong, you are the leader of Qinwang this time, but you don't want to go to the capital to ask for credit. I admire your broadmindedness."
"In the face of a national crisis, no matter how great the credit is, what does it matter?"
Daming City, Marshal's Mansion.
Huang Qianshan said: "The Jin army must have been frightened off by the general's bravery!"
Wang Boyan said: "Generalissimo, we are still not sure whether the Jin army has really withdrawn its troops. It may be that they deliberately lured us out."
Zhao Gou said: "What should we do now?"
Wang Boyan said: "Send someone to go to Huazhou to find out the news."
Just when the situation outside has changed greatly, the Marshal's Mansion in Daming Mansion is still cautious.
In Daming City, a young officer sighed with emotion: "The Jin army must have really retreated!"
The person next to him said: "Han Liangchen, what nonsense are you talking about again? No one is sure now!"
"Why did the Jin people suddenly come to besiege Daming City? There is something fishy about it. The weather is going to get hot soon. The Jin people don't like the heat. If you were the general and besieged Daming City for several days, would you suddenly withdraw your troops?"
"I...how do I know? This problem is something we can't even think about."
"Don't forget, the Jin people also need to eat. They don't have much food and grass. There are more and more volunteers in Hebei."
"Han Shizhong, you are just a martial artist! Stop talking nonsense!"
Wu Jielang was the thirty-eighth rank among military officers.
April 27, Tokyo City, noon.
The envoy who was sent to Tongguan came back: "The official family has told the towns in Shaanxi that the troops and horses should return to their respective routes, and all the envoys have arrived in the capital."
He was talking about King Qin's army, which was besieged outside Tongguan by Wanyan Lou's family, and was composed of people from all walks of life in Shaanxi.
There are hundreds of thousands of troops in total.
Wanyan Lou's room also retreated with Wanyan Zonghan.
In this case, why did King Qin's army retreat to the various roads in Shaanxi?
Isn't this stupid?
There is nothing we can do about it. Kaifeng Prefecture now saves food, and every meal in Bianjing City is one-third of what it was before.
Zhao Ding is presiding over the dispatch of grain from the south to the capital. If hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly arrive outside the capital, crying for food, will Zhao Ning dig out mud for them to eat?
While eating the mud dug by Zhao Guan's family and drinking the water from the Yellow River, the army gave hundreds of thousands of thumbs up: Well! Guan, the mud you dug is so delicious. Everyone likes to eat it!
Therefore, they can only be asked to withdraw to Shaanxi.
But all the envoys brought them.
Zhao Ning said while writing: "Xuan comes to see me."
"yes!"
Not long after, Wang Huaiji came suddenly: "Guan Jia, the Zhang Jun you asked for is here."
"Where?"
"Listening to the announcement outside the palace."
Zhao Ning said: "Xuan comes to see me."
"yes!"
This is really great. I was thinking about letting Zhang Jun take charge of all the roads in Shaanxi. When he came, we talked about the matter together.
"By the way, the official family, the senior officials asked me to pass on a message to you, saying that Wang Xun from Cizhou has taken back the capital."
"Oh?" Zhao Ning finally put down his pen.
My money bag is finally here. Look how many people are involved in this case!
It would be great if we could dig out King Yun!
"Let the Imperial City Secretary review it first."
"yes."
Chapter completed!
