Chapter 72 Section 6 Xiaozong is determined to make the Northern Expedition

Song Xiaozong organized his army to prepare for war, and was ready to go to the Northern Expedition.Before sending out troops, Zhang Jun, the representative of the main war faction, and Shi Hao, the representative of the main peace faction, had a heated debate in the court, and in this debate, the results of the Southern Song and Northern Expeditions had already begun to emerge.So, what kind of debate did Zhang Jun and Shi Hao have at that time, and what kind of result will this Northern Expedition show? At that time, Zhang Jun told Emperor Xiaozong that our army was determined to win this Northern Expedition, and the Kingdom of Jin would surely perish. Therefore, His Majesty should lead the expedition in person, station in Jiankang, command the six armies, and boost morale.Shi Hao immediately stood up to express his objection: "The emperor's soldiers should be perfect. How can we try to get lucky?" send troops?

Zhang Jun said, sure!After the uprising of Khitan peasants and herdsmen was pacified, many Khitan generals fled to me and told me that although Jin Bing was good at riding and shooting, it was rainy in summer in the south. Far.At this time, if we send troops, the advantage of Jin Guo will be gone, so we must send troops.Moreover, the Central Plains has been trapped for a long time. If we do not send troops, the Central Plains will inevitably be captured by other heroes. By that time, the Central Plains will not belong to our Great Song Dynasty.Shi Hao smiled slightly after hearing this, and asked Emperor Xiaozong, did you hear Zhang Jun's words, the Central Plains has been trapped for a long time, if we don't send troops, what will happen to the heroes, why did those heroes go away?The Central Plains has been trapped for a long time and they don't do anything, so he has to wait until we send troops?In this way, it seems that there are no heroes in the Central Plains.Zhang Jun said, it can't be said that the Central Plains is full of heroes, but because the people of the Jin Kingdom have strict control over iron and knives, the heroes have no weapons in their hands and cannot revolt. As soon as our soldiers arrive, these heroes will be the internal response.Shi Hao laughed out loud when he heard this. Back then, when Chen Sheng and Wu Guang set up poles as banners and cut trees into soldiers, nine hundred guards revolted and overthrew Tyrant Qin.Now the gang of heroes you think are just waiting there without weapons in their hands, waiting for my soldiers to arrive before they can revolt against the gold?Do you think this is a real hero or a fake hero?Zhang Junli was poor in his speech, so he had to tell the emperor, I have something to tell you in secret, let's talk about it alone, and let the surname Shi go out.The emperor had no choice but to say, since the debate has no result, let's talk about it today.

After Shi Hao and Zhang Jun went out, Zhang Jun turned back.He told the emperor that now is the right time for the Northern Expedition, you must not listen to this Shi Hao, he has already tricked you once in Sichuan and Shaanxi.He told you to give up thirteen military states and you gave up, causing loss of teachers and land, don't listen to him anymore.At that time, Shi Hao was a political adviser and a privy envoy, and he had the power to deploy troops. Zhang Jun told the emperor, if we bypass Shi Hao in the future, you can give me the order directly, and I will do it and it will be over.Emperor Xiaozong was keen on the Northern Expedition at that time, and he firmly supported Zhang Jun. He added Zhang Jun to protect his title, made him the Duke of Wei, and sent people several times a day to greet Zhang Jun's daily life.Did you eat well yesterday?can you sleepWhat time did you sleep?Emperor Xiaozong said to his face more than once, I rely on Wei Gong like the Great Wall, I rely on you like the Great Wall, and you manage the Northern Expedition for me.Shi Hao was very angry when he heard about this incident. The emperor bypassed the Privy Council and directly issued an order to Zhang Jun. What's the use of asking humble ministers?Not in compliance with the system!I might as well resign.The emperor said that you want to resign, not that I will forgive you, don't say that I don't recognize my teacher, and I don't miss old love.You see, there are a bunch of people here to impeach you. I have detained you for the eight major crimes.Since you are now voluntarily resigning, so sensible, then go home.Xiaozong showed great support for the Northern Expedition.

So Zhang Jun went to the front line, preparing to run the Northern Expedition.After he arrived at the front line, because he was a civil servant after all, it was impossible for him to lead the army himself.At that time, the general who led the troops on the front line was very famous, and his name was Li Xianzhong.Li Xianzhong can be regarded as a genius in the war history of Song and Jin Dynasties, or in the history of war in ancient China.So what is the legendary story of this man?In this war against gold, what extraordinary performance?What is the outcome of this war against gold?
