Prince Zhao Huan was originally in the East Palace. When Song Huizong "fainted", someone had already gone to notify Zhao Huan! When Zhao Huan heard about it, he was shocked. He hurried towards the main hall of the palace, but he had not yet arrived at the main hall.
Among them, a group of eunuchs had already come forward. The group of eunuchs knelt on the ground and said in unison: "See your majesty!"
Zhao Huan stayed there for a while. After a while, he hurriedly waved his hands and said: "What are you doing? I am the prince, not your majesty! Are you trying to trap me into injustice?"
At this moment, a chief eunuch stood up hurriedly and said: "Your Majesty, just now, the Supreme Emperor has announced his abdication, and you are now the emperor!"
"What?"
Zhao Huan was stunned again! He was stunned, and ignored the group of eunuchs below, but ran towards the main hall with great strides! When he arrived at the main hall, Song Huizong had not left, and Zhao Huan rushed to the dragon in a few steps.
He knelt down in front of the chair and said: "Father, my son and I will never dare to accept this throne!"
Song Huizong didn't expect Zhao Huan to come so quickly. He frowned and said, "You would be unfilial if you don't accept it!"
Zhao Huan said: "It would be unfilial for my sons and ministers to accept it!"
Song Huizong persuaded him for a while, but the prince Zhao Huan now regarded the throne as a hot potato. He was unwilling to accept the throne no matter what! Song Huizong had no choice. He waved his hand, and several guards suddenly swarmed up and lifted Zhao Huan up.
Huan just leave!
Zhao Huan was sent to Funing Hall, and countless ministers also came to Funing Hall! Zhao Huan struggled desperately, unwilling to be the emperor, but unfortunately the ministers had already knelt down, and Zhao Huan fainted, but he still
emperor!
In this way, the ninth emperor of the Northern Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, succeeded to the throne and became the Song Qinzong in history!

When Song Qinzong woke up again and looked at the ministers below, he suddenly felt like crying without tears!
After a long time, Song Qinzong asked: "Where have the Grand Master and the Grand Lieutenant gone?"
The ministers below were silent for a moment. After a while, a minister said: "Your Majesty, the Grand Master, the Grand Lieutenant, Master Liang, Master Yang and others are all taking care of the Supreme Emperor. Visit to download the txt novel"
Song Qinzong was furious. He knew that these people must want to escape with Song Huizong and were unwilling to stay in Bianliang, so they were unwilling to meet his new emperor.
"Tell me, how can we resist the Liangshan rebels?" After a while, Song Qinzong calmed down and said hurriedly.
The ministers still didn't speak. After a while, Zhao Ding finally stood up and said: "Your Majesty, for the current plan, firstly, we should issue an order to order the whole country to be diligent. Secondly, we must defend the Yellow River and prevent the thieves from crossing."
Yellow River! There are still 400,000 forbidden troops in Bianliang City, so many forbidden troops are enough to defend the Yellow River!"
Song Qinzong nodded. After a while, he had another question and said: "If the Taiwei is not here, who can command the imperial army?"
Zhao Ding said: "We can order the mighty military commander Tan Zhen to command the imperial army and defend the Yellow River! I have been thinking about this issue these days. The focus of defending the Yellow River is Liyang! If we can defend this place, Bianliang will definitely not be in danger!"
Tan Zhen, the military commander of the Mighty Army, was actually a eunuch. The armed eunuchs of the Song Dynasty were extremely famous in history. In this era, in addition to Tong Guan who was the supervisor of the northwest army, Tan Zhen was the supervisor of the Forbidden Army! Just because of the Forbidden Army
The strength is far inferior to that of the Western Army, and the Forbidden Army has Gao Qiu, a favorite, so Tan Zhen's reputation is far less than that of Tong Guan.
The reason why Zhao Ding suggested that the imperial army focus on defending Liyang is because Liyang is one of the most important places south of the Yellow River. The Battle of Fangcheng during Fu Jian's northern expedition, the defeat of Liyang by Yuan Shao's son Yuan Tan during the Three Kingdoms period, Guan Yu
Warming wine to kill Hua Xiong, Liu and Deng's army's bag formation in modern times, etc. all happened here! Since ancient times, this has been a battleground for military strategists. If you hold on here, you will hold on to the fortress of the Yellow River!
After hearing this, Song Qinzong was overjoyed and said: "Everyone relies on Aiqing! When the country is in danger, only Aiqing can give some advice!"
He thought for a while and decided to appoint Zhao Ding as the privy envoy! Originally, the privy envoy was Tong Guan, but Tong Guan is now in the northwest, and the water far away cannot quench his thirst. All the ministers in the court and the central government in front of him are silent. Only Zhao Ding speaks. So Song Qinzong decided
Not to mention rewarding Zhao Ding well.
On June 10th, Tan Zhen led 400,000 forbidden troops to Liyang. On June 20th, the army entered Liyang!
When Tan Zhen was in Bianliang City, although he was the supervisor of the Forbidden Army, Gao Qiu was in the Forbidden Army, so he did not have much real power! And in the palace, there were Liang Shicheng, Yang Jian and other eunuchs, so he was inferior in the palace.
!Coming out this time, he was extremely proud and felt that this was the most glorious time in his life!
As soon as he arrived in Liyang, he called all the generals of the Forbidden Army to him!
When these forbidden army generals arrived, Tan Zhen clapped his hands, and someone immediately brought in jars of wine!
"Tan has a heavy responsibility on his shoulders, and he also relies on all the Forbidden Army brothers for this battle! These fine wines are worthy of being treated as brothers to a banquet for you!" Tan Zhen laughed loudly.
After hearing what Tan Zhen said, the generals of the Forbidden Army were overjoyed. Some people immediately opened the wine jar and prepared to drink! But someone still said: "Sir, the Liangshan bandits are about to cross the river. Is it not good for us to eat and drink like this now?"
"
Tan Zhen was furious and said: "Am I a Shangguan? Or are you a Shangguan? Come on, pull this ignorant thing down for me and beat him to 50!"
Soon, the sound of chopping boards and the screams of generals came from outside. Tan Zhen burst out laughing. He suddenly felt that his life was in vain before, and now he can truly enjoy life!
In the next few days, Tan Zhen entertained the generals with feasts and feasts while "rectifying" the Forbidden Army! All the Forbidden Army generals who had offended him in the past were all jailed, and all the generals who had pleased him in the past were "promoted"! The soldiers of the Forbidden Army
Military discipline became even more corrupted, and for a time the entire Liyang City was filled with the sounds of people crying!
****
By the end of June, after two months, the order north of the Yellow River gradually stabilized, and Liangshan's army began to take action here!
Along the Yellow River, countless pontoon bridges were erected, and Liangshan's 4th, 5th, and 6th Army began to cross the Yellow River! Originally, the Song Qin sect sent Tan Zhen to defend the coast of the Yellow River. Although Liyang was the main force, it could not give up other
place, but Tan Zhen put all his troops in Liyang, and there was no defense at all in other places! When Liangshan crossed the river, he encountered almost no obstacles!
Hundreds of miles along the Yellow River, pontoon bridges were erected, and hundreds of thousands of infantry and cavalry swarmed forward! After the infantry and cavalry passed, countless civilians escorted supplies and followed them!
On July 3rd, Xiangzhou, an important town south of the Yellow River, was captured!
To the south of Xiangzhou is Liyang! This location is indeed extremely important. Liangshan can only continue to move south if it breaks through here! Wu Song has already found out that there are 400,000 forbidden troops here. He regards this place as a hard nut in his heart. He has even prepared more than a hundred gates.
Artillery, prepare to bombard Liyang City with artillery!
However, what he didn't know was that after Tan Zhen, who was guarding Liyang, received the news that Xiangzhou had been conquered, he peed in the army! Tan Zhen didn't even have time to wash his body, and immediately fled south with a few soldiers.
!After hearing the news of Tan Zhen's escape, the other Forbidden Army generals also fled one after another, and the 400,000 Forbidden Army soldiers also dispersed and fled in all directions!
By the time Wu Song's Sixth Army arrived, Liyang had turned into an empty city!
At this moment, Han Shizhong has led 200,000 cavalry to break through Shangqiu and advance westward from Shangqiu to Bianliang! Along the way, Han Shizhong no longer paid attention to the cities and towns along the way, and just rushed towards it!
When the news of Liyang's defeat came, Han Shizhong couldn't laugh or cry, and said: "This Song army is really terrible! These 400,000 forbidden troops are not as good as 1,000 Liangshan soldiers! They are certainly far inferior to the Jurchens, compared to
Khitan and Xixia are also much worse! If the Western Army had not been there, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago!"
Liang Hongyu nodded and said: "Husband, I heard that a new emperor has been established in Bianliang City! I wonder if the encirclement point designated by the military department for reinforcements still has any effect?"
Han Shizhong smiled and said: "Whether it is a new emperor or an old emperor, as long as he is the emperor, he is the most important figure in the Song Dynasty! We have surrounded Bianliang City, and officers and soldiers from all over the Song Dynasty have to come to serve the king! Our three armies have 400,000 people
There are 100,000 people in the Eighth Group Army in Hedong. Together, these many people will slowly clear up the Qinwang army around Bianliang. Finally, we will break through Bianliang in one fell swoop and capture the Emperor of the Song Dynasty!"
On the afternoon of July 9th, Bianliang City was still peaceful! Although Liyang had been broken, Bianliang City had not received relevant news yet!
At night, the sound of horse hoofs suddenly came from outside Bianliang City. The sound of horse hoofs became louder and louder, and gradually the entire Bianliang City was alarmed!
By the morning of July 10, Liangshan cavalry was everywhere outside Bianliang City! 200,000 cavalry surrounded Bianliang City!
