Chapter 6 Chapter 6 The Siege
In all honesty, Du Zhen is indeed a fierce general. However, in terms of bravery, the Tang army is by no means comparable to the Song army. In addition, the difference in military strength is too great. One-sided carnage.
Du Zhen didn't break out of the encirclement right away, although with the ferocity of the Song army, even if he broke through immediately, he might not be successful, but he didn't even make such an attempt, because he wanted to buy time for Zheng Yanhua's troops, even if the whole army Annihilation, as long as the coach Zheng Yanhua can destroy the floating bridge of the Song people, it is worthwhile.Once the pontoon bridge was destroyed, it would take a few days for the Song people to collect the necessary materials to rebuild the bridge again, and a few days of precious time, as long as the Tang army seized the opportunity and gathered all kinds of troops to fight a beautiful wipeout battle, the army could be wiped out. The invading bandits were wiped out.
And this plan, they didn't even have time to report to Jinling, it was Zheng Yanhua's personal plan to attack the floating bridge decisively today, and Zheng Yanhua and him personally, their mission was just like moths to a flame, destroying the floating bridge would have completed their mission, as for Whether the court can seize this rare opportunity is up to the civil and military officials in the court to judge. Maybe they will give up this rare opportunity and still hide in the city and wait passively, but that is no longer something he can worry about , he is from Tang Dynasty, he is a general of Tang Dynasty, he has done his duty, and he will die without regret.
Du Zhen, who was determined to die for the national calamity, took himself as a bait. Seeing that he was surrounded by the main force of the Song army, he was not surprised but pleased. Tightly hold the main force of the Song army, fighting for precious time for the coach Zheng Yanhua.
Zheng Yanhua's warships had not yet sailed to the pontoon bridge, but they were baptized head-on by a violent storm. Every warship was densely packed with arrows, and before the confrontation, they broke down into full-grown horses. Immediately, dozens of fireboats blocked it. After crossing the river, he unscrupulously rushed towards his battleship group.
"Song Jun is already prepared!"
Zheng Yanhua was taken aback, and then a soldier exclaimed from the watchtower at the height of the mast: "A large group of Song troops have been found to the west of Cihu Lake, and General Du Zhen has been surrounded."
Zheng Yanhua's complexion changed, a surprise attack, a surprise attack, a surprise attack is only when he is unprepared. Unexpectedly, this strategy of attacking east and west was so easily seen through by Song Jun. Looking at this posture, Song Jun had already expected his arrival, can he still succeed? ?
Zheng Jiedu, who was full of hope that he could achieve miraculous results with his extraordinary army and make extraordinary achievements in the world, fell into deep remorse. When Zhong approached him, General Zheng Da made a decisive decision: "Withdraw!"
Without firing a single shot, he left the brothers Paoze who took their lives as bait, and General Zheng, who was accustomed to water battles across the river, changed from the front team to the rear team, and from the rear team to the front team. How well-trained the army is, how superb the boat handling skills are, and they escaped before the two armies fought.
Yang Hao and Yaoliu bit the bullet and directed the Forbidden Army soldiers who had undergone hasty training and knew a little about boat handling. Half of them relied on the natural flow of the Yangtze River's water to approach the enemy slowly. The envoy's soldiers had no choice but to use both arms on the drums, beating the huge drums loudly, and then they saw the enemy showing a beautiful position in front of them with their superb boat maneuvering skills. He turned around skillfully, and then fled so fast that they couldn't catch up even if they wanted to.
How can such an army be invincible!
Yang Hao secretly sighed, he now understands that under the flap of his little butterfly, the world has changed a lot, these changes are enough to affect many major events in history, but some things cannot be changed by him now , military strength, political situation, government officials, human nature...
The Tang army has accumulated evils for many years, and then put on a lord who only knows how to sing the wind and the moon. In front of the Song people, they have no power to resist. Even if a general like Lin Huzi is still alive, it will only delay for a while , Let Tang Guo linger for a few more days, no one can support Li Yu, who is not even as good as a Dou, and the gods are powerless.
Du Zhen rushed to a high place covered in blood, looked in the direction of Caishiji, saw the direction of the tall sail masts, and knew that the surprise attack plan had failed. Zheng Shuai's troops withdrew so quickly, I'm afraid...I'm afraid they didn't even He had never fought seriously with the Song Army, so he became a useless abandoned pawn, and everything was sacrificed in vain.
Du Zhen is inexplicably sad and angry. In the current situation, he has no way to serve the country and can only find a way out for his subordinates who swear to follow him. Du Zhen led his personal guards to kill Zhao Guangyi who blocked the retreat, and fought for a way out for his brothers Paozhe. Tear open a hole with flesh and blood, and ordered the troops to break through immediately, while he himself led the personal guards to strangle to the left and right, to ensure that the gap would not be blocked by the Song army again.
Zhao Guangyi divided half of the troops and let Yang Hao take them away, but he opened a gap under Du Zhen's desperate fight. He couldn't help being shocked and angry. Zhao Guangyi rushed towards Du Zhen all the way, fearing that he might lose, and guarded him tightly. Zhao Guangyi, with a powerful iron rod, rushed all the way to kill him. , no one is his match.
Du Zhen's battle robe was stained with blood, and he was exhausted with a gun in his hand. The blood on the gun's fringe was covered with blood. He was trying his best to resist the attack of the Song army. Split Huashan with force and split it to Du Zhen.
Before Du Zhen saw who was coming, he heard a shout like a thunderbolt, and a head-on blow came with a sharp sound of wind. Du Zhen immediately fought with both arms, and blocked it with a horizontal spear: "Go!"
Hearing the sound of "Keng", the spears and sticks intersected each other, the long spear bent slightly, and then bounced straight again. Du Zhen's arms trembled and his tiger's mouth went numb, he couldn't help but secretly surprised: "Who is this man, such a domineering stick."
The stick bounced away, causing the big black-faced man in armor to turn around with him, dodging in place, and using the momentum to strike down again, without giving him a chance to breathe, Du Zhen was surrounded by people, waiting to move around. It's also impossible, and the big gun has no time to come back and stab the enemy, so in a hurry, it has to block the gun again.
"Hey!" One stick was blocked, and the third stick came again. Only a "click" was heard, and the big gun in Du Zhen's hand could no longer block the wind-like force of the iron rod. The end of the iron rod hit Du Zhen's forehead with the sound of wind and thunder, red and white things splashed, and Zhao Guangyi's rod almost went straight into the cavity.
Zhao Guangyi put away his stick, looked at a group of Tang troops who had escaped from the siege and was fleeing, and said murderously: "If you pay 50,000 to kill 10,000, and let them break out of the siege, what face will there be for the king? Chase!"
Yang Hao cleaned up the situation in Caishiji, and ordered the guards to send out guards up and down the river to a distance of 30 miles, and then sent troops to help Zhao Guangyi. When he arrived, Zhao Guangyi had led the army to chase him down. The army was cleaning the battlefield, Yang Hao asked what happened, and immediately followed Zhao Guangyi's whereabouts. The deserters of the Tang army panicked and fled to the nearby Dangtu city. Dangtu was a small city without a large army to guard them. Fleeing for their lives, the Song army coaxed into the city and began to burn, kill and loot. When Yang Hao arrived, he saw fires everywhere in the city, adulterers, looters, and wanton massacres of unarmed civilians abounded, even the monasteries were not spared by the soldiers who were red-eyed.Although there were many people in the Song Dynasty who believed in Buddhism, there were also many people who did not believe in gods and Buddhas. At the beginning, Chai Shizong "destroyed Buddhas" and was ordered to destroy Buddha statues, and many of the soldiers who expelled monks and returned to lay life have now become junior officers in the army. They are disrespectful to gods. With them taking the lead, those people who fled into the temple with their treasures in danger, and the people who regarded the temple as a god of protection, were all looted. If there were any beautiful women, there would be perpetrators on the temple. Yang Hao was startled and furious, seeing the soldiers scattered everywhere like bandits, he was powerless to stop them, so he had to look for Zhao Guangyi full of anger. When he saw Zhao Guangyi, he immediately reported angrily: "Thousand years old, my king of Song Dynasty is in the south of the Yangtze River, and the crusader is the Lord of Tang. These people will soon be the people of our Song Dynasty. How can they be like bandits, rape and plunder wantonly .” Zhao Guangyi didn't think so, and said with a smile: "This king has made an appointment with the three armies. If the three armies march forward bravely, but they get a city, they can be plundered. Now our army has broken through the rocky rocks and wiped out Du Zhen's troops. Everyone is going forward bravely." , who is not afraid of death, should be rewarded, how can this king break his trust in the three armies?" "Qiantui, the people of the Tang Dynasty are under attack, and the people are innocent. Seeing them suffer from this innocent war, can Qiantui be able to bear it?" Zhao Guangyi laughed, and said: "Compassion does not command soldiers, righteousness does not manage money. How can Yang Zuo envoy cherish the benevolence of women? Your wife and concubine died tragically in the Tang Dynasty. Don't you hate the cunning of the Tang people? Why did you come here instead?" Yang Hao suffocated, cupped his hands and said: "Yang Hao has hatred, and he doesn't want to be guilty and innocent. Thousand years old, if the army is like a bandit and loses the hearts of the people in the south of the Yangtze River, there is no guarantee that the soldiers and people in the south of the Yangtze River will not repeat the same mistakes as the Shu people. Destroy the city to calm the people, and the military discipline is strict. It can attract people’s hearts.” Zhao Guangyi condoned his subordinates, not only to encourage the three armies to swear to the death, but also deliberately polluted himself. While controlling the military power, he also stained his military exploits with some flaws. What he did had a purpose, which he had secretly decided on the west bank of the Yangtze River. Yang Hao's advice was naturally ignored. But now he is relying more and more on Yang Hao, and it is Yang Hao who sees through Tang people's tricks. You want to order the massacre of the city, but Yang Zuo's heart is kind, but he is not suitable for leading troops, that's all, this king sees your face and withdraws troops." Although the Song army was like bandits when they burned, killed and looted, they were an army with strict military discipline. They returned to the army one after another at the sound of gold. Yang Hao led people to extinguish the fires in the city, and then took his soldiers to the place where he used to live. After looking around for a while, he felt relieved when he saw that Bisu and Shuiyue Xiaoshitai were no longer there. Leading the horse and walking all the way back, seeing dilapidated everywhere and the flames of war, Yang Hao felt resentful, but there was nothing he could do.When there is a war, it is always the people who suffer. The so-called teacher of benevolence and righteousness who does not commit crimes only exists in official history books and myths.Even if Yue Fei's grandson Yue Ke's narration is based on the Yue Family Army's astounding military exploits and iron military discipline, it is simply the best commentary on the army of benevolence and righteousness, in fact, it still has to be discounted. The so-called "Qiu Wucheng" king's division is different from other armies in that they commit more or less crimes. At that time, the boastful Qiu Wucheng often refers to the people under their own rule. One can imagine how the people on the road fell.Yang Hao walked silently on the street, and sighed: "Will I be the commander in chief of the army one day, and will cause many people to be displaced?" "However, the will of the commander-in-chief will always have a major impact on the destruction during the war and the reconstruction after the war. The so-called "no destruction, no establishment, the war machine is in my hands, and it will cause fewer murders than in Li's hands. Since we can't Rejecting this historical mission, I try to accept it. This battle in the south of the Yangtze River was a rare tempering before I led the army. Maybe in the near future, I will go to battle in person, carry a carved bow, ride a horse, and ignite the smoke in the northwest land.Or, I'll be a loser, or, I'll be the master of the Northwest.With all my merits and demerits, later generations will comment, how will history write my name? "
"After this battle, my name will go down in history!" Zhao Guangyi reined in his horse and held the reins, looking at the other side of the river with satisfaction. The war situation was developing in a direction that was beneficial to the Song army without any suspense. Wu Ningqian, the military governor of Huangzhou, and others crossed the Yangtze River one after another, and captured Fanshanzhai; There were more than 10,000 people in the Tang army, and Li Xiong, the capital of them, was killed.And Zhao Guangyi personally led the main force to Jinling, and Cao Bin, who had been following him unhurriedly, arrived in time to join Zhao Guangyi. Li Yu hastily mobilized more than 100,000 soldiers of the water army to defend against the Qinhuai River and Jiangning City. Yes, defense is still defense. Zhao Guangyi was full of vigor, facing an opponent who had defined himself in a circle and refused to overstep the barrier, this battle was fought with great joy. Zhao Guangyi rode his horse and stood by the river, surrounded by soldiers, and behind him was a black army that could not be seen at a glance.On the other side, the Tang army was waiting in formation, and each phalanx was being mobilized behind the front army, like a flowing undercurrent.There are hundreds of thousands of troops on both sides, but there is no sound, only the footsteps trembling the earth, like the sound of drums, making their hearts vibrate. The hearts of the troops on both sides of the strait are flowing. Yang Hao rode on the horse, silently watching the dignified confrontation.Once, he saw a situation where hundreds of thousands of troops confronted each other like a mountain. At that time, the two sides were also at war. The commander of the three armies was an emperor and a queen. The one who is by his side now may... be the next emperor of the Song Dynasty, On the other side, Emperor Tang was still hiding in the deep palace compound of Jinling City and did not show up. However, the tense atmosphere this time was even better than the one before Ziwu Valley, because this was the crucial battle between defending the country and destroying the country. That time, he was a passerby; this time, he was a spectator; what about next time? Zhao Guangyi stared at the Tang army waiting in full force on the other side, his heart was full of enthusiasm, destroying a country and capturing a king, the feat of immortality is within easy reach, being a governor for a hundred years is not as good as being a general for a day, after today, he will be recorded in the annals of history forever! Cao Bin and Li Hanqiong were mobilizing the navy, like a pair of vices, to hold the Tang army firmly. When they shook the Tang army's formation, Zhao Guangyi could launch a general attack and destroy the 100,000 army in one fell swoop.However, Zhao Guangyi doesn't like this style of play. Today, all eyes are on him. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He slowly raised the whip, and the three armies watched the commander's movements with bated breath. Zhao Guangyi whipped the horse and shouted: "All the army, attack!" Suddenly rushed forward, and the horse jumped into the river. The left and right tigers froze for a moment, and then rushed forward one after another, screaming and throwing themselves into the river, wading to attack in this cold winter, when the sailors who were mobilizing upstream and downstream saw the commander and started first, they didn't bother to put on the most advantageous position Offensive formation, immediately into battle.Zhao Guangyi took the lead and shocked the three armies of the Tang Dynasty. They panicked and launched a hasty counterattack. The battle to defend Jinling has begun. How this battle was won, people in the game can't see clearly, Yang Hao just passively followed Zhao Guangyi's side, leaping on horses, crossing the river, rushing at the enemy's formation, and beheading the enemy with his sword. The enemy who came, followed by Zhao Guangyi, who rushed back and forth like a god of killing with an iron rod in his hand, rushed back and forth in the enemy camp, fighting amidst the sound of killing, sweating through his heavy armor, until he was beaten by the surging waves. An uncoordinated cry was heard amidst the sound of killing: "The northerners are strong and invincible, retreat quickly, and defend the city!" This cry was like a plague, and the Tang army was immediately defeated. The Song army was surrounded by them, chasing and killing them. After the Tang army threw countless dead bodies, the remnants retreated to the city, so...the Song army won. Huangfu Jixun didn't understand how the Tang army was defeated. He fled back to the city with his helmet and armor removed, poured a large bowl of water, sat on a chair in shock, and then returned to his body.He is an envoy from the official to the commander of the Shenwei army. He is one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, but he has never fought such a huge battle. Among the thousands of horses, every time the tide surges, countless lives disappear, just like a clump. The passing of the waves. He fought desperately under the guard of his own soldiers, all he saw in his eyes seemed to be the figure of Song Jun, and what he heard in his ears seemed to be all the shouts of Song Jun. Finally, he felt that he could no longer fight like this, and continued to fight All the armed forces defending Jinling will be exhausted, and he must do something for the court, so he shouted out his catchphrase: "The northerners are strong and invincible..." Facts proved that he was right, Tang Jun was defeated, right?
The north wind enveloped the entire Jinling City in the night with an annoying cold wave. In Li Yu's palace, the servants and palace people hurriedly walked, and their expressions were a little uneasy. They had heard the news of the defeat of the 100,000 army. Li Yu sat blankly on the throne, and the cold air spread from the bottom of his heart to his fingertips. How could he not be disappointed by the result of fighting against the city with more than one hundred thousand troops?The supervising army died on the battlefield. Li Yu has not yet figured out how to say that the hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated. Is it true that the sky is going to kill me?Otherwise, how could the hundreds of thousands of troops be defeated so quickly?Why did the supernatural little master leave without saying goodbye? A smile uglier than crying appeared on Li Yu's face. "Your Majesty, Chen Qiao and Xu Xuan ask to see you." "Please, please." Li Yu is like a drowning man, and now even if there is one person who comes to advise him, he must hold on tightly. As soon as Chen Qiao saw Li Yu, she said angrily: "Your Majesty, our army suffered a disastrous defeat today. It was all because the guards commanded Huangfu Jixun to flee in front of the battle, and the morale of the three armies was greatly depressed. If your majesty does not kill this man to rectify the law of the country, the fighting spirit of the three armies will be broken. No longer available." Li Yu said in surprise: "What? Huangfu Jixun? After Huangfu Jixun Zhongliang, how could...how could..." Chen Qiao stomped her feet sadly and said: "Your Majesty, if Huangfu Jixun is half as loyal and brave as his father, my army of more than 100,000 will fight against the city, and we will not be defeated by the Song army!" Chen Qiao repeated the story of Huangfu Jixun's escape and shouted "The northerners are strong and invincible", and then said: "This is what Zheng Bufan, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, explained to the minister. Xun left and near, after Huangfu Jixun said this, he took the lead in fleeing, and the three armies had no fighting spirit anymore, so this was a crushing defeat. General Zheng also said that Huangfu Jixun had always been afraid of the Song army. He often said that the Song people were invincible. how?Was it my misfortune? 'He is the commander of the Divine Guard. The general is as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, and declares himself defeated before fighting. How can our army be undefeated? Today's defeat, General Zheng went to see Huangfu Jixun, saying that the Song army has won a new victory, the soldiers are proud and will be careless, and they can recruit brave men to attack the enemy's camp at night. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun was timid after hearing this When General Zheng made some rebuttals, he became furious and rebuked Zheng Bufan for disturbing the morale of the army. He ordered his own soldiers to tie him up and whip him. This Huangfu Jixun was kept in the dark. " Li Yu trembled with anger, and roared angrily: "Come here, come here, hurry up and put Huangfu Jixun in prison! Put him in prison immediately!" The servant rushed to pass the decree, but Li Yu, who was shouting hoarsely, fell back to his seat and murmured: "Now... the Song army has been trapped in Jinling, what should I do?" Xu Xuan comforted: "Your Majesty, many state capitals are still under my court's rule, and the 100,000 sailors in Hukou are still unscathed. Although things have come to this point, it may not be impossible. Your Majesty must not be discouraged." Li Yu opened his eyes and said, "What can I do in the current situation?" Chen Qiaodao: "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu have discussed it for a while. I think that in the current situation, His Majesty has eliminated the traitors. You can appoint a brave general who is good at fighting to take his place and guard the city. Are there not enough soldiers? You can organize all the young and strong in the city. Get up and defend the city; at the same time, send people to break out of the siege, and move a hundred thousand troops from Hukou to help; then make a decree, calling on the prefectures and counties to form troops for the king. With internal and external efforts, the danger of the Song people may not be unsolvable." Li Yu said desperately: "Zhao Guangyi is watching the tiger under the city, how can he allow me to make further preparations?" Xu Xuan took a step forward, and said calmly: "I would like to be His Majesty's envoy, and go to Songying to delay time."
PS: Regarding the siege of Jinling by the Song army, the history books say that the Song army besieged Jinling for five months, but Li Yu didn't know about it, and finally rose up suddenly, and walked around the city, only to find out that the Song army besieged the city, so he was furious, and killed those who did not know about it Huangfu Jixun.I think this episode is too exaggerated, and it can't stand scrutiny at all. It's a bit like trying to belittle Li Yu and deliberately black him. The entire Jinling was besieged for five months. No one knew about the changing guards in the palace and the eunuchs who went out to buy things every day. Did no one mention it?It is too easy to spread the news throughout the harem.If Huangfu Jixun had such great energy to block all the people around Li Yu, then it would be impossible for Li Yu to order him to kill him. Besides, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan and other loyal ministers who were older than Huangfu Jixun were not locked up, and no one stopped them from seeing him. They all suddenly became dumb, and none of them went to talk to Li Yugao?Li Yu's brothers, Xiao Zhou's natal family, the prince living outside the palace, so many people, none of them told Li Yu? The commander-in-chief who mobilized tens of thousands of troops to chase and intercept the Song Army was Li Yu, and then suddenly for five months, Li Yu had no idea where the Song Army had hit, and he didn't care about it. How is this possible?Huangfu Jixun was incapable of commanding the troops outside, nor could he control hundreds of officials in the court. He has always been an incompetent general who surrendered, but he was never a Cao Cao-like figure who controlled the Tang Dynasty. Although this plot is recorded in history, I think it is full of loopholes. , so it is not used. Jinling was besieged, and Li Yu should have been as clear as a mirror from beginning to end. Besides, Dong'er was still looking forward to it in the far north: I can't wait, brother~~~, how can I spend too much time in Jiangnan, so, Brother Hao Fan the little wings, besiege the city, it won't take five months, ^_^
Yang Hao cleaned up the situation in Caishiji, and ordered the guards to send out guards up and down the river to a distance of 30 miles, and then sent troops to help Zhao Guangyi.

Cao Bin and Li Hanqiong were mobilizing the navy, like a pair of vices, to hold the Tang army firmly. When they shook the Tang army's formation, Zhao Guangyi could launch a general attack and destroy the 100,000 army in one fell swoop.However, Zhao Guangyi doesn't like this style of play. Today, all eyes are on him. He is the commander-in-chief of the three armies. He slowly raised the whip, and the three armies watched the commander's movements with bated breath. Zhao Guangyi whipped the horse and shouted: "All the army, attack!" Suddenly rushed forward, and the horse jumped into the river. The left and right tigers froze for a moment, and then rushed forward one after another, screaming and throwing themselves into the river, wading to attack in this cold winter, when the sailors who were mobilizing upstream and downstream saw the commander and started first, they didn't bother to put on the most advantageous position Offensive formation, immediately into battle.Zhao Guangyi took the lead and shocked the three armies of the Tang Dynasty. They panicked and launched a hasty counterattack. The battle to defend Jinling has begun. How this battle was won, people in the game can't see clearly, Yang Hao just passively followed Zhao Guangyi's side, leaping on horses, crossing the river, rushing at the enemy's formation, and beheading the enemy with his sword. The enemy who came, followed by Zhao Guangyi, who rushed back and forth like a god of killing with an iron rod in his hand, rushed back and forth in the enemy camp, fighting amidst the sound of killing, sweating through his heavy armor, until he was beaten by the surging waves. An uncoordinated cry was heard amidst the sound of killing: "The northerners are strong and invincible, retreat quickly, and defend the city!" This cry was like a plague, and the Tang army was immediately defeated. The Song army was surrounded by them, chasing and killing them. After the Tang army threw countless dead bodies, the remnants retreated to the city, so...the Song army won. Huangfu Jixun didn't understand how the Tang army was defeated. He fled back to the city with his helmet and armor removed, poured a large bowl of water, sat on a chair in shock, and then returned to his body.He is an envoy from the official to the commander of the Shenwei army. He is one of the most famous generals in the Tang Dynasty, but he has never fought such a huge battle. Among the thousands of horses, every time the tide surges, countless lives disappear, just like a clump. The passing of the waves. He fought desperately under the guard of his own soldiers, all he saw in his eyes seemed to be the figure of Song Jun, and what he heard in his ears seemed to be all the shouts of Song Jun. Finally, he felt that he could no longer fight like this, and continued to fight All the armed forces defending Jinling will be exhausted, and he must do something for the court, so he shouted out his catchphrase: "The northerners are strong and invincible..." Facts proved that he was right, Tang Jun was defeated, right?
The north wind enveloped the entire Jinling City in the night with an annoying cold wave. In Li Yu's palace, the servants and palace people hurriedly walked, and their expressions were a little uneasy. They had heard the news of the defeat of the 100,000 army. Li Yu sat blankly on the throne, and the cold air spread from the bottom of his heart to his fingertips. How could he not be disappointed by the result of fighting against the city with more than one hundred thousand troops?The supervising army died on the battlefield. Li Yu has not yet figured out how to say that the hundreds of thousands of troops are defeated. Is it true that the sky is going to kill me?Otherwise, how could the hundreds of thousands of troops be defeated so quickly?Why did the supernatural little master leave without saying goodbye? A smile uglier than crying appeared on Li Yu's face. "Your Majesty, Chen Qiao and Xu Xuan ask to see you." "Please, please." Li Yu is like a drowning man, and now even if there is one person who comes to advise him, he must hold on tightly. As soon as Chen Qiao saw Li Yu, she said angrily: "Your Majesty, our army suffered a disastrous defeat today. It was all because the guards commanded Huangfu Jixun to flee in front of the battle, and the morale of the three armies was greatly depressed. If your majesty does not kill this man to rectify the law of the country, the fighting spirit of the three armies will be broken. No longer available." Li Yu said in surprise: "What? Huangfu Jixun? After Huangfu Jixun Zhongliang, how could...how could..." Chen Qiao stomped her feet sadly and said: "Your Majesty, if Huangfu Jixun is half as loyal and brave as his father, my army of more than 100,000 will fight against the city, and we will not be defeated by the Song army!" Chen Qiao repeated the story of Huangfu Jixun's escape and shouted "The northerners are strong and invincible", and then said: "This is what Zheng Bufan, the commander of the Divine Guard Army, explained to the minister. Xun left and near, after Huangfu Jixun said this, he took the lead in fleeing, and the three armies had no fighting spirit anymore, so this was a crushing defeat. General Zheng also said that Huangfu Jixun had always been afraid of the Song army. He often said that the Song people were invincible. how?Was it my misfortune? 'He is the commander of the Divine Guard. The general is as fearful of the enemy as a tiger, and declares himself defeated before fighting. How can our army be undefeated? Today's defeat, General Zheng went to see Huangfu Jixun, saying that the Song army has won a new victory, the soldiers are proud and will be careless, and they can recruit brave men to attack the enemy's camp at night. Unexpectedly, Huangfu Jixun was timid after hearing this When General Zheng made some rebuttals, he became furious and rebuked Zheng Bufan for disturbing the morale of the army. He ordered his own soldiers to tie him up and whip him. This Huangfu Jixun was kept in the dark. " Li Yu trembled with anger, and roared angrily: "Come here, come here, hurry up and put Huangfu Jixun in prison! Put him in prison immediately!" The servant rushed to pass the decree, but Li Yu, who was shouting hoarsely, fell back to his seat and murmured: "Now... the Song army has been trapped in Jinling, what should I do?" Xu Xuan comforted: "Your Majesty, many state capitals are still under my court's rule, and the 100,000 sailors in Hukou are still unscathed. Although things have come to this point, it may not be impossible. Your Majesty must not be discouraged." Li Yu opened his eyes and said, "What can I do in the current situation?" Chen Qiaodao: "Your Majesty and Mr. Xu have discussed it for a while. I think that in the current situation, His Majesty has eliminated the traitors. You can appoint a brave general who is good at fighting to take his place and guard the city. Are there not enough soldiers? You can organize all the young and strong in the city. Get up and defend the city; at the same time, send people to break out of the siege, and move a hundred thousand troops from Hukou to help; then make a decree, calling on the prefectures and counties to form troops for the king. With internal and external efforts, the danger of the Song people may not be unsolvable." Li Yu said desperately: "Zhao Guangyi is watching the tiger under the city, how can he allow me to make further preparations?" Xu Xuan took a step forward, and said calmly: "I would like to be His Majesty's envoy, and go to Songying to delay time."
PS: Regarding the siege of Jinling by the Song army, the history books say that the Song army besieged Jinling for five months, but Li Yu didn't know about it, and finally rose up suddenly, and walked around the city, only to find out that the Song army besieged the city, so he was furious, and killed those who did not know about it Huangfu Jixun.I think this episode is too exaggerated, and it can't stand scrutiny at all. It's a bit like trying to belittle Li Yu and deliberately black him. The entire Jinling was besieged for five months. No one knew about the changing guards in the palace and the eunuchs who went out to buy things every day. Did no one mention it?It is too easy to spread the news throughout the harem.If Huangfu Jixun had such great energy to block all the people around Li Yu, then it would be impossible for Li Yu to order him to kill him. Besides, Chen Qiao, Xu Xuan and other loyal ministers who were older than Huangfu Jixun were not locked up, and no one stopped them from seeing him. They all suddenly became dumb, and none of them went to talk to Li Yugao?Li Yu's brothers, Xiao Zhou's natal family, the prince living outside the palace, so many people, none of them told Li Yu? The commander-in-chief who mobilized tens of thousands of troops to chase and intercept the Song Army was Li Yu, and then suddenly for five months, Li Yu had no idea where the Song Army had hit, and he didn't care about it. How is this possible?Huangfu Jixun was incapable of commanding the troops outside, nor could he control hundreds of officials in the court. He has always been an incompetent general who surrendered, but he was never a Cao Cao-like figure who controlled the Tang Dynasty. Although this plot is recorded in history, I think it is full of loopholes. , so it is not used. Jinling was besieged, and Li Yu should have been as clear as a mirror from beginning to end. Besides, Dong'er was still looking forward to it in the far north: I can't wait, brother~~~, how can I spend too much time in Jiangnan, so, Brother Hao Fan the little wings, besiege the city, it won't take five months, ^_^
