Moreover, the loss of Zhuojun is not over yet. There is a storm brewing, and some hidden dangers have been buried, even involving Liu Bang's number one general Du
return.
When Du Hui was implanted with an identity, he was implanted as Du Chong's nephew. But this time, Du Chong played the most critical role in the loss of Zhuojun.
Du Chong is an important figure in history and a key figure in the transition of the Song Dynasty from the Northern Song Dynasty to the Southern Song Dynasty.
When Zongze died, the area north of the Yellow River was an area fiercely contested by the Song and Jin Dynasties. Mainly local anti-Jin forces were fighting against the Jin army in conjunction with the remnants of the Song army. South of the Yellow River was the territory of the Song army. Only when the Jin army invaded south would troops be stationed.
.
But when time passed a year and a half later, when Duchong surrendered, the south of the Yellow River and the north of the Han River and the Yangtze River became the areas fiercely contested by the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the south of the Yangtze River was the territory of the Song army.
Du Chong was a minister between the two Song Dynasties and the prime minister in the early Southern Song Dynasty. He was also a famous rebellious minister.
On the eve of the Jin Dynasty's second attack on the Song Dynasty and the defeat of Kaifeng, Du Chong guarded the Daming Mansion in Beijing. He boasted that "a handsome minister should not sit on the throne and make decisions, but should risk his own life." It seemed that Han Xin was reincarnated, not only able to strategize, but also personally lead the troops.
Go into battle.
However, when Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army of the Jin Dynasty arrived, Du Chong did not dare to fight with them. His only countermeasure was to order the construction of the Yellow River embankment to divert the Yellow River water from the Si River into the Huaihe River, in an attempt to block the pursuit of troops behind him.
Du Chong's decision to cut off the river not only failed to stop the Eastern Route Army of the Jin Kingdom, but also caused more than 200,000 local people to drown, and the number of deaths caused by displacement and plague was several times that. The Lianghuai region, the most prosperous and prosperous region in the Northern Song Dynasty, was destroyed in one fell swoop.
Nearly 10 million people are homeless and have become refugees.
After Zongze's death, Du Chong became Zongze's successor. The first thing he did when he took office was to disband the militia that Zongze had summoned for national justice. Of course, this was not only his intention, but also the meaning of "above":
The Zhao Guan family dislikes such a powerful private force.
Moreover, Du Chong directly regarded these rebels as bandits! And Du Chong's method of dealing with bandits was to chase and kill them. In just a few months, Du Chong completely rejected all the rebels gathered in Tokyo City.
, and even cut off the supply and contact with the Hebei rebels, allowing them to be defeated one by one by the Jin army. Daming Mansion in Beijing and Wuma Mountain Village were all captured at this time.
It can be said that the anti-gold alliance that Zongze worked so hard to build using his personal prestige and national sentiment was destroyed by Du Chong in just a few seconds!
But this time, Du Chong was able to deceive Ju Xin greatly. If it weren't for Du Chong's presence, even if there was a famous general like Sima Cuo, after all, the people under him were all the gangsters under Gongsun Shu.
How could the army defeat the entire Zhuo County so easily?
Ju Xin is mature and prudent. Even if the opponent's soldiers are weak, he does not want to go into battle easily until he is not sure enough.
And it was impossible for Sima Cuo to attack the city desperately. If he did not attack the city desperately, if the casualties were too large, based on the quality of the people under him, they themselves might not be able to bear it.
In the final analysis, these men under Sima Cuo were just bandits. They could fight a few smooth battles. Once the casualties reach a certain level, I am afraid that the morale of these people will decline to an extreme, and they may even collapse first.
.
Therefore, if Sima Cuo wanted to open a breakthrough, he could only choose this way of outsmarting the city. Siege warfare, a method that might cause heavy casualties, was simply not suitable for Sima Cuo now.
It is precisely based on this that Sima Cuo showed weakness again and again, until finally he could not bear the huge casualties and wanted to temporarily withdraw his troops. However, Ju Xin never fell into the trap easily.
However, although Ju Xin did not fall into the trap, Du Chong, his deputy, could not bear the temptation of committing crimes and led his troops to chase him out of the city without reporting Ju Xin.
Du Chong was even quite dissatisfied with Ju Xin. Even some bandits in the Taihang Mountains were afraid of him and did not dare to take the credit for this kind of contribution. He did not dare to take it himself, so he stopped the others again and again.
The general came to take the credit.
However, the result after Du Chong chased him out of the city without authorization can be imagined, and he fell completely into Sima Cuo's plan. Fortunately, the commander-in-chief Ju Xin sent troops to support him in time after receiving the news, and finally helped Du Chong.
Charge finally broke out.
Although Du Chong broke through the encirclement, his men and horses suffered heavy losses. Even many generals such as Liu Bi, Liu Guang, and Lu Maoshou died in this battle.
Some of them were persuaded by Du Chong to leave the city to take credit, while others were sent by Ju Xin to rescue Du Chong and died in the battle.
Du Chong suffered such a big defeat this time and made such a big mistake. Naturally, it is impossible for him to have nothing. When the time comes, Liu Bang will definitely punish Du Yun.
Therefore, Sima Cuo and Fan Ju worked together to persuade Du Chong to surrender based on this point.
In fact, although Sima Cuo and Fan Ju had a plan to persuade them to surrender, they only had the mentality of giving it a try. If the other party really lost the battle and could persuade the other party to surrender, then the war would not be possible.
It's a little too easy.
However, there is still a possibility of success if you give it a try, but if you don’t even give it a try, there is absolutely no chance of success.
However, the final result was beyond the expectations of Sima Cuo and Fan Ju. Not only did their plan to persuade them to surrender succeed, but the process was also quite smooth. It even went so smoothly that even Sima Cuo and Fan Ju were
To the point of disbelief.
This plan to persuade them to surrender went so smoothly that even Sima Cuo and Fan Ju had already begun to think, wondering whether this was actually a plan of the enemy to surrender, and they wanted to plot against them.
Therefore, although it was agreed that Du Chong would open the city gate and let Sima Cuo's troops enter the city, Sima Cuo was indeed very cautious during the process. Not only did he test several times beforehand, but also after opening the city gate.
He didn't rush the whole army at the first time, so he almost failed and was forced to close the city gate again by Ju Xin.
But the final facts proved that Sima Cuo and Fan Ju obviously thought too much. The Yan army had no plans against them, and the so-called false surrender did not exist at all. Du Chong actually surrendered to the Qin army this time.
.
Fortunately, the two god-level warriors Bai Xiang and Jin Peng were brave enough to withstand the pressure from the front and did not let Ju Xin close the city gate again.
