Chapter 74 The second quarter will lead to discord

After Li Xianzhong returned to his motherland, he galloped on the battlefield and made many military exploits, becoming an unrivaled famous general in the history of Southern Song Dynasty wars.Therefore, Song Xiaozong appointed him as the main general and led the division to defeat gold.So, with such a famous general leading the army, will the Song army be able to achieve great success this time and regain the Central Plains in one fell swoop? Li Xianzhong led an army of 30,000 to attack Lingbi, in today's Anhui; another general, Shao Hongyuan, sent troops to attack Hongxian.When Li Xianzhong led the army to attack Lingbi, tens of thousands of Jin troops faced it, and they put out kidnappers.Li Xianzhong saw that these things were left over from our beating, do you have any fresh ones?This is too easy to break.He told his soldiers to play according to the old rules, covering their bodies with rattan cards, wielding a big knife, and cutting off horseshoes without saying a word.This time, the kidnapper of the Jin army was defeated.The people of the Kingdom of Jin really couldn't come up with any new tricks, and when they fought, they would be Tiefutu and kidnappers.Yue Fei, Liu Qi, and Li Xianzhong all defeated the kidnapper horse, and basically all famous generals in the Song Dynasty practiced with the kidnapper horse.The Jin army was defeated, and the Song army captured Lingbi.Li Xianzhong announced that if he did not kill anyone after entering the city, Lingbi would be easily occupied.

On the contrary, when Shao Hongyuan attacked Hong County, his teacher was in vain, and he couldn't fight for a long time.Under such circumstances, Shao Hongyuan had no choice but to report to his superiors that Hong County could not be defeated.Li Xianzhong took the initiative to send Lingbi's Jin Guojiang general to Hong County to persuade him to surrender, and the Jin army in Hong County surrendered, which means that these two places were all taken down by Li Xianzhong.Shao Hongyuan felt ashamed of his inefficiency, and harbored jealousy.As long as you can, I didn't ask you for help, I asked the governor Zhang Jun for help, who asked you to do this, who asked you to send Lingbi's surrender general to persuade you to surrender?

At that time, one of Li Xianzhong's generals was a thousand households who had surrendered from the Kingdom of Jin. He filed a complaint with Li Xianzhong, saying that when I surrendered, I brought a family-heirloom sword with me, which was taken away by Shao Hongyuan's personal soldiers. , I also hope that you, the general, can take it back for me.When Li Xianzhong heard it, is it okay?I have already ordered not to search the pockets of prisoners, not to take needles and thread from the masses, how dare you take away the treasured sword passed down from the prisoner's family?Li Xianzhong ordered to arrest Shao Hongyuan's personal soldiers. As a general, I have every right to arrest a small soldier.When Shao Hongyuan's soldiers were arrested and interrogated, they admitted to taking the prisoner's treasured sword.Li Xianzhong ordered him to return it to others, and then beheaded the soldier.

When Shao Hongyuan heard about this, he was furious. Your surname Li is too deceitful, and you are too disrespectful to me!The soldier who followed me through life and death took a sword and killed him?Are you not showing off?From now on, if you can fight alone, I will never cooperate with you on the battlefield.When fighting again in the future, Shao Hongyuan would shrink back and procrastinate, intending to make Li Xianzhong look good and make Li Xianzhong look ugly.When the two armies jointly attacked Suzhou, Li Xianzhong's troops took the lead and rushed to the city of Suzhou.After Li Xianzhong occupied Suzhou City, Shao Hongyuan's troops arrived.Shao Hongyuan took a look, this Li Xianzhong really didn't see anyone else, I let him take charge of it, he really took himself as a person, he really took charge of himself, and I didn't do any meritorious service.So Shao Hongyuan told Li Xianzhong sarcastically that the general really deserves to be the general of Kansai.It means that you have the seed, and you can show your ability.

After Li Xianzhong occupied Suzhou City, Shao Hongyuan asked to open the treasury and reward the three armies.Li Xianzhong replied that if we want to reward the three armed forces, we must follow the imperial court's order and cannot do so privately.He ordered that only the cash in the treasury be distributed to soldiers.Three soldiers were issued with 1,000 Wen, and one soldier was given more than 300 Wen.As a result, the soldiers also complained about Li Xianzhong.When we talk about the Central Plains dynasty fighting nomads, this is the reason why the will to fight is relatively weak, because there is no gain in fighting.What is the purpose of soldiers fighting?As soon as the cannon is fired, ten thousand taels of gold.In particular, this is not a war of defending the home and defending the country. When we fought in the area ruled by the Kingdom of Jin, the imperial court said that they would regain the homeland of the Central Plains, and comfort the spirit of Taizong Taizong in heaven.But I am not from here, so what does it have to do with me to regain this homeland?You comfort the spirit of your ancestors in heaven, why do you want me to die?The purpose of my war is to gain something. Now that I have finally conquered a big city, one person will be paid 300 yuan?The soldiers complained a lot, Shao Hongyuan took the opportunity to provoke, you see, Li Xianzhong is not kind, he made meritorious service and promoted, you are lucky, follow the burden and work for nothing.At that time, the imperial court had appointed Li Xianzhong as the envoy of Nanjing, East and Hebei of Huaihe River, and appointed Shao Hongyuan as the deputy envoy under Li Xianzhong.Shao Hongyuan felt very dissatisfied. The conflict between the two was so serious that even the court knew about it.But Zhang Jun didn't know how to mediate. In the Battle of Fuping, Zhang Jun didn't know how to mediate when the various armies refused to listen to each other. The Huaixi military change was also Zhang Jun's responsibility, and the generals were at odds, so he couldn't mediate. This time Li Xianzhong and Shao Hongyuan were at odds, but Zhang Jun still couldn't mediate.

After the Song army occupied Suzhou, the people of the Kingdom of Jin saw that the important town was lost and determined to seize it. Therefore, Marshal Pu San Zhongyi of the Kingdom of Jin dispatched an army of more than 100,000 people to attack Suzhou.
