Chapter 39 Section 3 Zhang Jue Jiang Song

After Jin Taizong Wanyan and Wu begged to succeed to the throne, although the relationship between Jin and Northern Song Dynasty became more and more rigid, it had not yet reached the point of a complete break. The brink of war.So, who is this person? The fuse between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty and the complete breakdown of their relationship was a man named Zhang Jue.Zhang Jue is a native of Pingzhou, Liao. He is a native of Pingzhou in the two prefectures of Ying and Ping mentioned above. Senior officials. When the Kingdom of Jin was rising, Zhang Jue felt that the world was in chaos and the situation was not right, so he recruited young men in the territory under his jurisdiction to form an army and prepare to resist the Jin soldiers.It is said that he recruited more than 50,000 people, had thousands of good horses, and selected generals to defend his family and country.Unexpectedly, the Liao Kingdom was on the verge of extinction before he had time to display his ambition.Zhang Jue felt that this was too boring. Why did my motherland perish so quickly?I haven't had time to display my ambitions. It's not that I can't do it, let alone that I don't know how to fight, but that I don't have the opportunity to use force.So he worked hard to wait for the opportunity, and temporarily surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin.After Zhang Jue surrendered, Jin Guo treated him very well and still let him rule Pingzhou, and his troops did not disband.Because the Jin army marched too fast at that time, and there were only tens of thousands of Jurchen soldiers, the people of the Jin country did not expect the victory to come so quickly, and many places did not care about management, and they still used the soldiers and generals of the Liao Kingdom.When Zhang Jue was in Jinying and his heart was towards Liao, the states in Nanjing were returned to the Northern Song Dynasty, and the people of Jin State drove the people in these states to the north.The Jin soldiers were busy fighting and grabbing territory, and had no time to detain them. They mainly let the Liao soldiers detain the prisoners, and the Liao soldiers detain the Liao people.The first stop in the north is Pingzhou. Most of the people in Youyun Sixteen States are Han Chinese. Their ancestors have lived here for hundreds of years.When passing through Pingzhou, the captives mutinied and refused to go north.The captives thought, what if the Jin people retaliate?We have to find someone capable of leading us against Jin Nation.They found Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue was very happy and wished that this day would come sooner so that he could serve his motherland.These people told Zhang Jue: "The Lord is now in Juzhen, holds a strong army, and is loyal to the Liao Dynasty. Whoever prevents me from moving is not the Lord!" (Volume 95 of "Continued Zizhi Tongjian") You hold Heavy soldiers, governing such a large area of ​​land, I hope you will rebel, restore the Daliao, and save the people from the fire and water. The responsibility is heavy, and it is none other than you.After Zhang Jue heard this, he immediately called his subordinates to discuss, can we do this?These subordinates were all dazed and agreed that this matter could be done.They told Zhang Jue: "Wearing that Tianzuo's army has revived and haunted Monan, if the public is loyal to the king, he welcomes Tianzuo in order to recover... and Pingzhou is returned to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty will accept it, and Pingzhou has become a vassal town. That is to say, the Jin people will increase their troops in the future, and the internal camp and Ping army will be used, and the foreign Song people will be aided, so why not be afraid!" ("Continued Zizhi Tongjian" Volume 95) I heard that Emperor Tianzuo haunted the desert In the south, the army was greatly boosted, and I don't know where they heard about it. The rumors killed people. In fact, Emperor Tianzuo led the counterattack at that time and was quickly defeated.They said, you are loyal to the king and welcome Emperor Tianzuo to us so that the people of Yandi can live and work in peace and contentment. We can also dedicate Pingzhou to the Song Dynasty as a vassal town of the Song Dynasty. The state's army, with the backup of the Song Dynasty, is not afraid of the Jin soldiers.As soon as Zhang Jue heard it, his words were reasonable, and he led the people to raise the flag to rebel.Zhang Jue completely misjudged the situation. He prepared to respond to Emperor Tianzuo and raised the flag righteously, but the flag was raised for a long time, and Emperor Tianzuo did not come.In fact the emperor had been routed and was soon captured.

Zhang Jue looked at the misjudgment of the situation and felt bored.I held the Qin Wangyi flag here for a long time, but the king didn't come, so the flag was raised in vain.When Jin Guo saw Zhang Jue's rebellion, he was very angry. He sent a general with a partial division of 2,000 cavalry to attack Pingzhou, but was defeated by Zhang Jue.Zhang Jue has 50,000 people under his command, and he will never beat 2,000 people.Now the king and ministers of the Jin Kingdom are furious, how dare you, a traitor, fight against Master Wang?He even defeated Master Wang.The Kingdom of Jin wanted to mobilize an army to conquer Zhang Jue.Zhang Jue was scared. I can fight two thousand people. If the golden soldiers come to 20,000, if they come to tens of thousands, then I will not be an opponent.what to do?Jiang Song!
