"It's true that I was born into the trap."

Xin Qiji sighed and said: "When I was young, I was extremely dissatisfied with the imperial court's appointment of me. I felt resentful because of this and thought that my talents were not recognized."

"At that time, I just thought that no matter what I did, I could at least serve the people and the Song Dynasty, so I took it. No matter what official position I held, I tried my best to do it well, and I didn't dare to neglect it for a day."

"Now it seems that the imperial court did have some considerations in appointing me in the first place. If you want to hate me, you still have to hate Zhang Anguo!"

When Zhang Anguo was mentioned, Xin Qiji became furious!

If the rebels and the imperial army cooperated with each other, if nothing else, he would definitely gain more trust. Although those with selfish motives would definitely reject him later, Song Xiaozong was in power at that time and he had his trust.

No matter what, it will be better, and you won't be depressed for the rest of your life.

Jiang Yi said sternly: "Ancestor, you have indeed failed to recognize your talent."

"No matter what the court's considerations are, it is recognized by future generations that you failed to recognize your talent."

"Even if the imperial court wants to test your loyalty, it won't be possible for more than ten years without giving you a heavy responsibility."

"This junior believes that the key reason why Song Xiaozong has no intention of letting you go on the Northern Expedition is that you have different ideas from him, and even from other warring factions in the court."

Jiang Yi said slowly: "In the matter of the Northern Expedition, you advocate that we must be fully prepared before attacking. We must not send troops hastily and rush for success, but must make long-term preparations."

"But the main war factions in the DPRK and China all believe that the war must be launched as soon as possible. It is best to start the Northern Expedition immediately. If possible, send troops tomorrow!"

"Song Xiaozong was also an emperor who wanted to make a difference. He also wanted to wash away the shame of Jingkang and conquer the lost territory immediately. Therefore, under the nagging of a large number of quick-war factions, it was easy for him to become enthusiastic."

"So, when you were twenty-four years old, the year when the Jiangyin signing was signed, Song Xiaozong appointed veteran Zhang Jun for the Northern Expedition in the second year after he ascended the throne!"

"Everything went well in the early days of the Northern Expedition, but soon the Song generals were at odds with each other, and they were pursued by the Jin army during their retreat, which led to Fu Li's defeat. In the end, the two sides signed the 'Longxing Peace Agreement.'"

Hearing this, Xin Qiji sighed and said: "Your Majesty has great ambitions, but unfortunately he is too hasty in this matter."

"Yes, in order to prevent the opposition from interfering, Xiaozong bypassed the three provinces and the Privy Council and directly issued the Northern Expedition order to Zhang Jun and the generals!"

From this we can see Song Xiaozong's courage. Not long ago, Zhao Gou told him that the Northern Expedition could wait until he died. As a result, Xiaozong had just ascended the throne and slapped Zhao Gou in the face before he even covered his throne.

Eh!

You object, right?

Okay, then I will bypass you and hide it from the three provinces and the Privy Council. Let’s see how you object!

Judging from this move, it is no wonder that Song Xiaozong understood Xin Qiji's hiding of the gold medal. The two men's behavior styles were exactly the same.

You must know that although Zhao Gou abdicated the throne at that time, he still controlled the core power. Although Xiaozong couldn't stand it, there was nothing he could do, so he simply killed him first and played later.

This wave not only made Zhao Gou's face look bad, but also made the Prime Minister Shi Hao resign in anger!

But Song Xiaozong didn't panic at all.

Okay, you are resigning, right?

I will depose you!

In fact, the Song army did have a certain amount of combat power at that time. The second army, led by Zhang Jun and led by generals Li Xianzong and Shao Hongyuan, defeated a state in one attack, but Shao Hongyuan was simply in vain.

After Li Xianzong won on one side, he was unable to attack the other side for a long time. Li Xianzong sent his troops to surrender to persuade the other side to surrender. After success, Shao Hongyuan began to hold a grudge because the credit was not his.

Later, Jin general He Shi Liezhining led an army of more than 10,000 people to attack the state. Li Xianzhong beat them again, forcing the Jin army to send out a main force of 100,000 people.

Li Xianzong did not hesitate to engage in a bitter battle with them. As a result, Shao Hongyuan, a stupid teammate, not only stood still, but actually said to his subordinates:

"Why are you fighting? It's such a hot day and we can't cool ourselves off even by fanning ourselves. Why bother working so hard under the sun?"

After saying this, his men immediately lost their fighting spirit and watched Li Xianzong's men being beaten.

At night, the military commander of Shao Hongyuan's army, Zhou Hong, beat the drum and shouted that the Jin army was coming to attack them. The Song army, which was unprepared, collapsed without a fight.

In the end, the Jin army took advantage of the weak point and attacked the city. Li Xianzhong was still right and led his troops to kill more than 2,000 enemies. However, in the end it was still difficult to prevent the defeat. He had to sigh: "God does not want to level the Central Plains? Why bother to hinder this!"

Therefore, he could only lead his troops to retreat, but before they had gone far, the Song army collapsed across the board and lost all its military supplies and equipment.

Fortunately, the Jin army did not know the details and did not pursue rashly. The Song army was able to gain a foothold on the Huaihe River. Because it was in Fuli County, history called this defeat the "Fuli Rout".

Finally, the Song Dynasty was forced to sign the "Longxing Peace Agreement" with the Jin people, and ceded Qinzhou, Shangzhou, Dengzhou, Tangzhou, Haizhou and Sizhou.

Because of this battle, Shao Hongyuan was demoted to Doctor Wuyi, and his position as commander of Jiankang City remained unchanged.

The following year, he was demoted to deputy envoy of regiment training in Jingzhou and resettled by the Nan'an Army. He recovered the money he had embezzled from the treasury, which shows that Shao Hongyuan's hands and feet were not very clean either.

"Prime Minister Shi Hao is right about this matter." Xin Qiji said suddenly.

"Yes, he saw that Zhang Jun had the intention of revitalizing China, but he did not have the talent for resurgence. He also advocated making adequate preparations for the Northern Expedition."

Jiang Yi was slightly surprised. It was Shi Hao who proposed the concept of reformed people, and he also said that there are no heroes in the Central Plains, but now his ancestors actually spoke for him.

"It would be great if Emperor Xiaozong could listen to Shi Hao's words, and the Northern Expedition would not be in vain. He would cede so many states and groups and defeat many of the troops he had finally accumulated."

Xin Qiji sighed and said, "It's a pity that Xiaozong back then was also young and energetic and couldn't listen to our loyal advice."

"Later generations, let me ask you, how will the people of future generations be like?"

Xin Qiji looked at Jiang Yi, his eyes flickering with anxiety: "Have all the territory been taken back?"

"But there are still alien races occupying our borders?!"

In response, Jiang Yi shook his head decisively: "There is no alien occupation!"

"Ancestors, please rest assured that future generations will never lose an inch of land again!"

"The territorial waters, airspace, and territory of future generations cannot be violated in the slightest, and no one dares to infringe!"

Jiang Yi waved his right hand, and the Mirror of Time and Space suddenly appeared and expanded rapidly, quickly covering both him and Xin Qiji.

Xin Qiji was extremely surprised. He raised his eyes and turned around, looking around.
