Section 71 Harmony

On the 28th day of the first lunar month, a group of troops came from the south at lightning speed. The Jin army along the way came out to block the attack, and they were not allowed to slaughter them, and they shot arrows and the Jin army was defeated and dared not pursue them. The people rushed to the camps in the south like a flying wind, shouting loudly, saying that they were reinforcements invited by the Southern General Manager Zhang Shuye.

Wang Bing asked them to dismantle their weapons, and came to the city, and called Hu Yangeng and Liu Ziyu to meet them.

A great man in charge of the head, full of Huaiyin: "We are Qin Shi from Xuzhou, the east and west route of Beijing. On the way to help, we met 50,000 reinforcements from the south route, so we came together. The Liu Du General Sect first rushed to the city and reported the letter to the emperor."

Hu Yangeng asked in detail that the reinforcements came from the east and south routes. The reinforcements on the south route were originally last year that Zhang Shuye summoned more than 100,000 reinforcements, but they were ordered by the court to dismiss. Later, Zhang Shuye and his son brought only 15,000 people into the capital. However, after Zhang Shuye was appointed as Privy Councillor, he ordered his deputy Gao Gongchun to summon 100,000 people again.

Gao Gongchun followed the order. After two months, he finally summoned 50,000 people and some food and grass. He sent Liu Ji, deputy envoy of the West Jing Road Transportation Road, to command the king. The army of the king advanced to Chenzhou and found that Chenzhou had been occupied by Jin soldiers. He then moved to Yingchang and met with the local garrison Han Tao and Peng Yan.

Qin Shiqin was a powerful man near Xuzhou on the east and west roads of Beijing. When he saw the heroic posts from the government, he recruited hundreds of heroic young men to join the army. However, the host general Gao Shengfei did not prepare reinforcements seriously. Qin Shiqin just took a name and some weapons from Gao Shengfei, and set off for Bianliang by himself. He led a hundred people to avoid the brigade of the Jin soldiers, and specifically attacked the Jin soldiers' grain collection team and the lonely Jin soldiers. He bumped into Yingchang all the way, and only about twenty people were left. He was incorporated by Liu Ji.

They galloped nearly a hundred miles a day and one night from last night. From this morning, there was no food in the middle of five or six hours. Each of them was covered with thick dust, and the various battle robes and iron armor in their hair were covered with dust. Even the blood that had just splashed was covered with layers of new dust. They were covered with gray all over their bodies, people and horses. But their mental state was vigorous. As long as they pounced on this layer of dust, they would reveal their brilliant faces and glow and their shiny eyes. Finally, they forcibly rushed through the blockade of the Jin soldiers along the way and arrived in Bianliang.

Hu Yangeng counted the people and horses with him, twenty soldiers, one of them, twenty war horses, one without any injury, and couldn't help but exclaim sincerely.

Qin Shi personally took out a wax pill and handed it to Zhang Shuye. After Zhang Shuye looked at it, there was no confidential content. It was just that reinforcements from the southern road had arrived and were waiting for the imperial court's instructions.

Everyone thought in their minds that Zhang Shuye appointed four general managers to ask for help. Jiangnan Road General Manager Hu Zhiru had been captured, Tongguan was closed by Jin soldiers, and reinforcements from the western route were difficult to arrive. The eastern route general manager Zhu Shengfei was stumbled. It seemed that the only reinforcements that were Liu Ji were the only ones who were really successful.

Soon, the news of the arrival of reinforcements spread throughout the city. Both the soldiers and the civilians of Bianliang felt relieved. When the Jin soldiers siege the city for the first time, the reinforcements arrived. The Jin soldiers could not snatch Bianliang and had to take 100,000 taels of gold before withdrawing the troops. Now the reinforcements are here again, and the siege of Bianliang seems to be lifted.

Wang Shiyong, Wang Xiaodi, Wang Zongbi and others also gathered together to persuade Zhao Huan to seize the great opportunity to meet. "Reinforcements have arrived, and the Jin people are afraid that they can follow the previous law and promote the Jin peace agreement."

Zhao Huan said: "I have sent Prince Yun of Yue as a hostage, and I have been the Jin people to show sincerity."

In the Jin camp, we were also discussing how to deal with the reinforcements of the Song Dynasty. Wanyan Oli said: "Most of the generals of the Song State were destroyed by our Great Jin in Taiyuan, and the rest were in this city of Bianliang. The newly arrived reinforcements were civil servants, how could they be able to fight. On the other hand, we have been under Bianliang City for two months, and the food and grass have not been continued, so we have to find a way to make peace."

Liu Yanzong said: "The State of Song dared not surrender, but was simply relying on the large gathering of reinforcements and forcing our Jin Dynasty to leave. Why not defeat the reinforcements of Song State with thunder and break the thoughts of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty."

"The plan is good. For only 50,000 Song soldiers, I'm afraid that 70,000 troops will be dispatched, so the siege will be insufficient."

"We need help from the Prime Minister. We ask the Prime Minister to be in charge of besieging Bianliang, and the Prince Langjun went south to attack Yingchang."

Wuli was not convenient to send people to discuss with Nianhan. Nianhan also used the same method in Taiyuan. Wanyan Loushi besieged the city, and Wanyan Yinkeshu was responsible for fighting and aiding, so he naturally knew the reason. He was in charge of the besieged city, and his subordinates could enter Bianliang City faster to grab the spoils, so he immediately agreed.

On February 1st of the first year of Jingkang, Wang Bing learned that the Jin soldiers were mobilized on a large scale, so he quickly went up the city tower to check and found that Wanyan Wo Li was not under his jurisdiction. He drove out of the camp one by one and went south. He knew that he was going to attack Liu Ji. He quickly reported to the Xuanfu Department. At the same time, he suggested concentrating the army and destroying several camps of the Jin soldiers in the south under the chaos of the Jin soldiers' arrangements, so as to break the siege of the Jin soldiers and fight with reinforcements in the future.

Originally, the Xuanfusi Department could make a decision in this way, but Zhang Shuye remembered what Zhao Huan said, "If you want to go to war, please let me tell you first." This sentence means that Zhao Huan has completely deprived Zhang Shuye of command. Zhang Shuye had to report to Zhao Huan, and Zhao Huandao summoned all the ministers and nobles into the palace to discuss.

At this time, the low-key club began to show its power, headed by Taizhao He Li, Minister of Personnel, Wang Shiyong, Minister of the Secretariat Wang Xiaodi, Minister of the Secretariat Li Hui, Minister of the Secretariat Wang Zongbi, Minister of the Secretariat Xu Bingzhe, and Minister of the Secretariat Sun Wei, who was unanimously opposed to sending troops. The reason they went over and over was the three old ways: when they were in peace talks, they should not move troops, and the Jin soldiers were brave and wild, and they would definitely follow Yao Pingzhong's mistakes when they used their troops in a hurry (Yao Pingzhong failed to rob the camp when the Jin soldiers first besieged the city and disappeared).

The reasons listed by the low-key clubs completely ignore the changes in the current military situation.

In the late Northern Song Dynasty, a strange creature appeared - a faction that the unprofitable master and peace faction appeared. It is said that a minister wanted to sell the country, demand peace, or do something else, and there was always some benefit. However, the ministers who were the master and peace in the late Northern Song Dynasty, from Geng Nanzhong, Nie Chang, Zhang Bangchang, Li Bangyan to Wang Shiyong, Wang Xiaodi, and Wang Zongqi, did not get any benefits in the end. Even Zhang Bangchang would definitely not have thought that he could become the pseudo-Chu Emperor, and this emperor had not brought him any benefits. If they were to avoid military disasters in Kaifeng, Wang Shiyong, Wang Xiaodi, and Wang Zongqi had "searched" the soldiers in Kaifeng several times.

But this group of people is so strange, not for fame, not for profit, not for democracy, insist on peace.

Zhao Huan was tired of the opinions of the peacekeepers, and knew in his heart that even if he wanted to make peace, he would rely on the reinforcements outside the city. Even though the Jin people went south to attack the reinforcements, the Bianliang defenders would have some support. After listening carefully to Zhang Shuye's suggestions, he asked the opinions of the king, Zhe Yanzhi and others. Finally, Zhao Huan decided to let Zhe Yanzhi rectify his troops and rob the camp at the camera.

Why not give this task to Wang Bing? Because Wang Bing's deeds guarding the city south of Taiyuan, Longde and Bianliang were widely praised by the people. "The merits and achievements have been made great contributions to defeating the enemy, so it is not advisable to go out again."

When Zhe Yanzhi got the task of robbing the camp, he first remembered the failure of Yao Pingzhong's robbing the camp last year, so he must be "superheld". Once he persisted, things would be delayed.

On February 2, I saw the head of Bianliang City, and there was a huge dust head in Yingchang, and a faint sound of killing came. At night, I saw Jin soldiers pulling troops from all sides of the besieged city of Bianliang.

Hu Yangeng was anxious and asked Zhang Shuye for orders, but Zhang Shuye did not dare to move. He asked Song Jiang and Wu Yong if he could bypass the emperor's ban. Wu Yong was only smart but had no courage and dared not speak.

Hu Yangeng went to Wang Bing to fight again: "I only say that the Jin soldiers can attack the city at the south gate."

Wang Bing said: "I want to break the golden camp, so I say that I escorted the messenger out of the city."

Hu Yangeng greeted Qiu Muling Zhonglian, Bu Luguleping, Puluru Bosheng and others, and led 20,000 Shenwu Nanjun. Although he was transferred to Xuanfusi, Qiu Muling Zhonglian and others controlled the army well and ordered it to be banned.

First, Lu Zhishen, Yang Kefa and other brave generals fought and opened the wall of the Jin army camp. Bu Lu Guleping led the cavalry into the camp and walked in a free manner, causing chaos in the Jin camp. Then the Song army brigade rushed in. As expected, all the Jin soldiers in the south were transferred to attack Liu Ji, and the army that Nianhan came to change defense was not yet in place. Hu Yangeng led his men to kill a lot in the formation. Nianhan did not dare to mobilize Jin soldiers from the other three sides to help, because he was afraid that the Song soldiers would take advantage of the situation on the other three sides.

The 50,000 or 60,000 troops from the Western Route Army wanted to surround Bianliang, but the troops were in short supply. From the prisoners, they learned that Nianhan sent 50,000 people to guard Tongguan, and then deducted the 40,000 Jin soldiers left in Hedong, and the troops under Nianhan were less than 60,000.

Hu Yangeng also saw this and couldn't help but feel sorry for him. If the other three sides could attack at the same time, they might be able to defeat the Western Route Army of Nianhan.

The Southern Shenwu Army completely destroyed the southern encirclement of the Jin soldiers. Qin Shi personally led his followers to Yingchang to inquire about the situation. On the one hand, because he used the reason to escort messengers, he had to give an explanation to the official family, and on the other hand, he really needed to understand Liu Ji's situation.

The next morning, he saw the sound of killing in Yingchang direction shocking the sky. Hu Yangeng had to go and ask to see Zhang Shuye again, and asked to concentrate his troops. Before Wanyan Wulibu returned, he would break the city lock joint camp on the other three sides of the Jin soldiers as soon as possible. Otherwise, Liu Ji would not have been able to hold on for a few days, and the blood of the 50,000 people would not be in vain.

Zhang Shuye said: "The official family just does not allow it." Zhang Shuye was a civil servant in the Song Dynasty after all. Although he had a responsible mind, he would never disobey the emperor's will.

Although Zhang Shuye could not give the order, Wu Ge, the Duke of the Shenwu Eastern Army, came to find Hu Yangeng and wanted to join forces with him to attack the joint camp in the east.

Hu Yangeng asked, "What reason should I use? It should not be against the order."
