Chapter 348: Ice and Fire Double Heaven
The 40,000 Tianzhu Army went out of Hedong, crossed the Yellow River, attacked Chang'an, and invaded like fire. However, the Jianyan small court in the southeast was competing with the Jin army to see who ran faster. High-quality updates are
At the end of August, Zhao Gou heard the news that Wushu's army crossed the river in Hangzhou, and immediately threw his feet and fled to Yuezhou (now Shaoxing). The Jin army fought along the Yangtze River, and Guo Zhongxun, deputy guard of Jiankang, surrendered, and the Song army's defense line along the river collapsed quickly. The Jin army immediately attacked in different directions and advanced to Huangzhou (now Huanggang, Hubei), Wang Xishu, deputy commander of Jinghu River control along the river, led his troops to escape, and the Jin soldiers crossed the river.
At that time, Liu Guangshi, who was the new Jiangdong Xuanfu envoy, defended the Yangtze River in Jiangzhou (now Jiuzhou, Jiangxi). He only had a banquet with his subordinates every day. The Jin soldiers crossed the river from Huangzhou. It was not until the Jin soldiers were dozens of miles away from Jiangzhou that Liu San (Liu Guang Shixing San) who was shocked when he heard the news fled in a hurry and became a prisoner even later. The Jin soldiers successfully attacked Jiangnan West Road and Jinghu South Road (now Jiangxi and Hunan areas).
In October, the troops were suddenly on the Yangtze River. The Wushu army, who had survived a southern heat wave, regained their vitality, prepared their troops and officially marched towards Hangzhou.
Wushu's army was like entering a land of no one, heading eastward to Hangzhou, and vowed to capture the Song Lord.
When Zhao Gou heard the news in Yuezhou, he immediately ran away, fled from Yuezhou to Mingzhou (now Ningbo). Wu Shu chased him to Yuezhou. Zhao Gou fled from Mingzhou like a burning butt. Wu Shu, who was persistent, led his army to approach Mingzhou.
At this time, Zhao Gou had just left the city for only a few dozen miles, and with the Jin army's vanguard Ximao Ali, and Wuyanpu Luhun, four thousand pursuers led by Wuyanpu Luhun, it took only half a day to go, and his life was hanging on the line.
Fortunately, at this time, Zhang Jun, who was the commander of Zhejiang East, once again played the role of serving the king, leading thousands of troops to Gaoqiao Town outside the west gate of Mingzhou to block the Jin vanguard army.
Perhaps the Jin army did not expect that the Song army, who had run away like a dog who was strayed, would even turn around and bite. Unpredictable, they were bitten fiercely, suffered thousands of losses, and the pursuit stopped. It was not until half a month later that the Jin army regained its momentum and attacked again, but was defeated again. In the end, Wu Shu reinforced another force, which Zhang Jun could not withstand. Moreover, the official family was safe. It was boring to continue to fight, so he withdrew his troops. The Jin army then occupied Mingzhou.
This is the Mingzhou blocking battle that Zhao Gou praised continuously in the future, or a battle to save his life.
After the Jin army captured Mingzhou, they implemented the instructions of Wushu Langjun. They refused to let go of the hunt and continued to hunt down, and they must not let the cooked ducks fly.
Zhao Gou, who escaped by chance, fled to Dinghai (now Zhenhai). After being shocked, he found out that he had nowhere to go - because to the east of Dinghai is the endless sea and there is no way to escape.
Just as Zhao Gou called out the sky and wanted to escape, Lu Yihao, who was promoted to prime minister due to the success of the "Miao and Liu Incident" of the previous "Miao and Liu Incident", offered advice in time - to take a boat into the sea to avoid the enemy's attack.
What a great idea! The light bulb on Zhao Gou's forehead was shiny!
In early December, when the Jin army chasing Zhao Gou's tail almost circled around Hangzhou Bay and broke into Dinghai, they only saw white sails and vast sea and sky...
...
While Zhao Gou was drifting and drifting around, Di Lie's momentum was in full swing.
In early September, the entire Jingzhao Prefecture was all over the Tianzhu Army. Then, except for ten thousand troops left to station in Chang'an, the remaining 30,000 troops, iron horses and chariots were everywhere, and they captured cities and land. Yaozhou, Bingzhou, Ningzhou, Fangzhou, Danzhou, Baoan Army, Yan'an Prefecture, Suide Army... all of them were taken. If it weren't for Huan, Zhao Zhe, the governor of the Huanqing Road of the two prefectures, led the army to garrison, and it would be difficult to do it, the entire Yongxing Army would have been taken down by the Tianzhu Army.
In mid-September, Dong Xian, the commander of the 6th Mixed Brigade of the Second Reorganized Division, with the cooperation of the Shanzhou army, captured Guozhou (now Lingbao, Henan) in the east of Chang'an, and then handed over Guozhou to the Shanzhou army to guard it. He led his troops to cross the Luoshui River and fought with the two thousand Jin troops of Uluzaba at the Luonan City beside the Luoshui River.
The long-legged general Uluzaba was finally broken this time and could not run away. In the midst of the chaos, he was injured by the stray bullets of the charge cavalry of the Tianzhu Army. He fell off his horse and was captured alive. The Jin army was defeated. However, Uluzaba was not lucky and was injured in the place, but in the crotch. Since then, the wounds have been repeatedly inflamed, abscessed, and ulcerated, and he died after several months.
Luonan is the northern gate of Shangzhou. When Luonan lost, Shangzhou had no support. There was only less than 3,000 remaining soldiers left. Wulu had to abandon Shangzhou sadly, withdraw from the boundary of Yongxing Army Road, and retreat east to Dengzhou (now Deng County, Hubei South Road). During this battle, the Henan governor Wanyan Saili, who was stationed in Luoyang, Henan Prefecture, did not make any noise and allowed the Tianzhu army to break through Guozhou, Shangzhou, and expel Wulu.
According to common sense, with the nature of this King Gai Tian, it is impossible to be so honest. This guy who has public and personal grudges with Di Lie can often clamor for competing with Di Lie and the Tian Zhu Army to avenge the shameful sneak attack on the Yishui River. Wanyan Sai still held his troops for the battle that happened under his nose. The high-quality update was in Tokyo's head coach Wanyan Zongfu and had no orders to let the game attack. This should be an important reason for him to watch the wall. Another possibility is that he was frightened by the Tian Zhu Army's record of defeating Chang'an in one day and did not dare to cause trouble.
By the end of October, the Tianzhu Army had basically taken down all military prefectures except Huanzhou and Qingzhou. Subsequently, the Taiyuan Military and Political Office moved to Chang'an one after another. At the same time, a large number of people in the surrounding states, when they heard the news of Chang'an's recovery, they also poured in from all over the place.
After capturing Chang'an, Di Lie only ordered people to rebuild the damaged city walls, reorganize the roads, and restore commerce and trade. As for the dilapidated palaces in the palace, some main halls with maintenance value are selected, and the partial halls are renovated. As the future military and political affairs prime minister center for Tianshu City and Tianzhu Army, the next stage of the battlefield must be in the Central Plains. In the case of communications in ancient times, the closer the military and political center is to the main battlefield, the more flexible the command and quick response are possible - and this is the key factor in the victory or defeat of the war.
This year, Hedong was in good weather and had a good harvest of grain and rice. The food and fodder that arrived one after another calmed the hearts of the people of Chang'an and also effectively guaranteed the logistics of the 30,000 troops who attacked everywhere. Due to the two major battles of the Yellow River and Chang'an, the elite troops of the Jin army were destroyed, which caused the Jin army to be seriously insufficient in various states. In less than two months, the Tianzhu Army captured the entire Yongxing Army Road in relatively complete.
On that day, the Zhu army attacked everywhere and the attack was in full swing, but the Song army on the other side of Qin Feng Road was shocked and collectively did nothing.
As early as July, Zhang Jun, the head of the Privy Council, who was promoted to the prime minister due to the king's speed and was promoted to the prime minister's speed, left Hangzhou and entered Sichuan, but he did not arrive in Hanzhong until the end of October. At this time, many Song generals on Qinfeng Road were basically guarding their own territory. For example, Zhao Zhe on Huanqing Road, Liu Xi on Xihe Road, Qu Duan on Jingyuan Road, Sun Wo on Qinfeng Road... etc. Although he heard that the Yongxing Army Road was busy, he was shocked and suspicious. No one dared to send troops without authorization. He just sent several groups of hard investigators to inquire about the news.
And these hard detectives were really embarrassed to find out the news, because the Tianzhu Army's offensive was too fast and too fierce. Today, on the way to Binzhou, Binzhou will be taken down tomorrow. The hard detectives were preparing to give back. Another news came from ahead. Ningzhou was defeated again... As a result, the hard detectives followed further and further. When they followed the Tianzhu Army around, the news on hand was thicker, and when they were shocked by the news that was more shocking, the dust settled, and the Yongxing Army had already reached the Tianzhu Army's hands, and the Song army had no choice but to drink soup.
At this point, from the Battle of Taiyuan, to the Battle of Liaozhou, to the Battle of Hedong, to the Battle of Chang'an, and finally swept Guanlong. The 50,000 army of Jinxi Route Army was destroyed and completely erased from the Jin Dynasty's Ministry of War.
In November, Chang'an sent two groups of troops. One group was a military craftsman R&D team headed by Aji, deputy director of the Military Industry Department of the Tianzhu Army, and was ordered to go to Yanzhou to study, mine and transport hot turtle oil; the other group was an envoy with King Zhao Wei of Yue, Prime Minister Zhao Jian as the chief, and deputy envoy, with a total of 500 troops holding the imperial edict of the Yuansheng Empress, shaking the talisman and treasures, and heading to Qinfeng Road, Chengdu Prefecture Road (now Gansu, Ningxia, Sichuan), and launched a diplomatic offensive against the northwest generals of the Jianyan Dynasty.
To the north, Guan Zhongyong's fourth reorganized division also officially launched an attack, with unstoppable force, easily attacking Xin and Xian, and fighting all the states in succession. The most fierce attack was the 12th Mixed Brigade led by the new Zhonglang General Yue Fei. The Jinning Army and the Zhe Family Army also worked together to capture the Kelan Army, Baode Army, and Ninghua Army. The north of Hedong finally entered Tianshu City.
Subsequently, the Fourth Reorganized Division guarded Yanmen Pass with the 12th Mixed Brigade, and the Thirteenth Mixed Brigade guarded Pingxing Village and Dashi Village, and confronted the Jin army stationed in Yunzhong, Xijing at the Sanggan River line.
Yelu Nuge, the governor of Yunnei, was beaten out of Hedong all the way. He did not dare to challenge the Tianzhu Army, nor did he have the ability to counterattack Yanmen Pass. Since the Tianzhu Army stopped at Yanmen and did not intend to invade Xijing, he naturally was happy to maintain the status quo. The two armies were once again in a confrontation in the northwest.
...
At the end of November, Fenglingdu was frozen, and a long team of chariots and horses carefully wade through the ice. On the other side of the river, there was a 300 cavalry and armored cavalry waiting early, neatly arranged in two rows, standing still among the flying snowflakes, as if welcoming VIPs.
After getting ashore, the chariots and horses traveled between two rows of armored cavalry. When a bright yellow giant felt caravan appeared in the middle of the chariots and horses, the leader of the cavalry team raised his spear in his hand to pay a gift, and the three hundred armored knights raised their spears to point the sky together.
The spears were lush and the snowflakes did not fall, as if they were about to break through the sky.
The giant felt caravan stopped, the felt curtain opened a corner, and a charcoal fire warmed the fire from it.
The leader of the cavalry team only saw a simple white hand and heard a lazy and delicate voice: "General Yang Zhonglang, why are you here to welcome the queen? I thought it was my twenty-third brother."
The leader of the cavalry team took off his iron helmet, and it was Yang Zhechong. At this time, he was bowing his head respectfully and replied: "When Hui Rou Fuji's words, Zhao's team has been appointed as the deputy envoy by the military director and followed Zhao Gongfeng to Qin Feng's envoy. Therefore, the military commander ordered us to come and welcome the Queen of the Holy Emperor to Chang'an."
Before Huanhuan could speak, she escorted a cavalry and horseman to the ice, took off her helmet, and exposed her hair, and realized that it was a female knight.
The female knight said lightly: "I am escorted by the fifth capital of my Tianjiao Camp. I can protect the peace of the emperor. Why do you need to send so many iron cavalry?"
This female knight, Yang Zhechong, was recognized by the fifth capital of Tianjiao Camp. He was also the swimming instructor of the third camp of female soldiers on that day, Mo Qinglian.
Yang Zhechong's tone remained respectful: "The military leader said that Guanlong is not as good as Hedong, but is a new place for restoration. There are always bandits who have wandered around, so it is necessary to ensure that everything is foolproof."
Since the third Battle of Naiheguan, the female soldiers' Tianjiao Camp has received true respect from the heart of the Tianzhu Army. The female soldiers have won the respect they deserve with their fearless courage and spirit of sacrifice.
Yang Zhechong's respect comes from the heart.
The two teams merged, with a total of 400 cavalry and infantry troops. They were safe and sound in the territory of the Tianshu City forces.
As the huge felt caravan was swaying gently, four girls were sitting in the car: Empress Zhu, Huanhuan, Beads, and a personal palace maid.
From time to time, he spyed through the gaps of the felt curtains and peeked at the iron armored knights who were accompanying the guards, looking satisfied: "What a mighty cavalry, there are no less than thousands of such iron cavalry, and my imperial guards were just like this. Your Highness is really amazing."
Huanhuan's eyes roamed and she smiled sweetly: "Little girl, it's just winter now, it's still early to come spring. Are you thinking about spring so quickly?"
He was so ashamed that he rushed towards Huanhuan immediately, scaring the palace maid so much that she hurriedly protected the charcoal furnace with her body, for fear that she would be knocked over by the two princes.
The caravan kept shaking, and the knights guarding outside the car looked at each other without squinting, quietly urging them to ride away.
In the caravan, when she saw the two girls making a fuss a little dissatisfied, Empress Zhu said lightly: "You don't have to Sichun anymore. When you go to Chang'an, your highness will be officially awarded the title. If you two want to marry him, the biggest obstacle to your reputation has been eliminated."
Huanhuan and Chuanzhu stopped at the same time, and even hugged each other and forgot to separate. They looked back together, looking both ashamed and happy, and said in unison: "What is your title?"
