Chapter 12 Chapter Twelve Wanyan Yong Kills Wanyan Liang

In October of that year, Wan Yanliang assembled all the troops that Jin Guoneng could muster, which was said to be in the millions. According to historical records, there were 600,000 troops, and according to expert analysis, there were 310,000 troops. With such a force, it was divided into three fronts.The easternmost part is the Zhedong Navy, led by Wanyan Zheng's slave Su Baoheng, a total of more than 70,000 people marched from the sea into the Liangzhe Sea, broke into the inland sea, landed in Lin'an, and directly attacked the capital of the Southern Song Dynasty. The middle road is mainly in the Huainan battlefield, which is the theater of Zhang Jun, one of ZTE's four generals.That area is vast, mostly plains, which is conducive to the deployment of large corps.This route Wanyan Liang himself will be the main force of the entire army, accounting for at least 80% of the entire army.

As usual, the westernmost point is the Sichuan-Shanxi area. Wan Yanliang divided two theaters, Xishu Road in the central and western part, and Hannan Road in the central part, with 50,000 and 20,000 troops respectively, led by Tudan Hexi. By the way, our old friend, General Wanyan with overdeveloped lacrimal glands is dead.He fell into Wan Yanliang's royal purge, and without exception, the whole family died.As for the charge, do you need it?Do you really need it? Wan Yanliang finally started his epic journey with his fantasy army.He is the center, so the process is also narrated around him.On the Huainan battlefield, his opponent was the Southern Song Dynasty's Jiankang Mansion who controlled the royal power.Jiankang Mansion is now Nanjing, on the south bank of the Yangtze River, far away from the Huainan important town in the north of the river, such as Luzhou.

The tradition in this war zone was started by Zhang Jun, that is to sit in Jiangnan and command Jiangbei. The traditional concept of kingship is very strong, it is simply a copy of Zhang Jun.Facing the unprecedentedly powerful army of the Kingdom of Jin, he did not hesitate or resist at all, and completely believed the numbers reported by Tan Ma.Whether it's one million, six hundred thousand, or three hundred and one thousand, his reaction is the same, that is - run! Wang Quan even abandoned Luzhou (now Hefei City, Anhui), Hezhou (now Hexian, Anhui) and other important towns in Huainan, allowing the Jin army to cross the Huaihe River, the first line of defense in the Southern Song Dynasty without hindrance.

The Jin army crossed the Huaihe River at Wokou (now Huaiyuan, Anhui). After that, the troops were divided into two groups, and quickly captured Chuzhou, Yangzhou and other important towns in the north of the Yangtze River, and their troops approached the north bank of the Yangtze River. The military situation spread to Lin'an, and the Southern Song Dynasty was shocked.Some people thought of fleeing, some insisted on fighting, some lost their composure in fright, and so on, only one person was calm. Zhao Gou. He has experienced too many dangers in his life, and he is already proficient in the so-called chronic illness and becoming a doctor.He rationally compared the current situation with the past, and knew that the general situation was over, and he could perish.

If it is said that the Northern Song Dynasty had the reason for its extinction spiritually, but there were no parameters for its extinction physically, the current Southern Song Dynasty has actually met all the conditions for its extinction. The military system of the Southern Song Dynasty has collapsed for 20 years since Yue Yihan was killed in 1141 AD.During this period, all the famous ZTE generals withered, and the former elite soldiers were already old. Under Qin Hui's management, there were no successors. Not to mention the morale of the people, are there still people who cherish their homeland and think about revenge and the Northern Expedition?Even Yue Fei's name has become a taboo, what kind of ambition and ambition can we hope for.

After twenty years, the world has finally become what Zhao Gou wanted.He did succeed, but suddenly he had nothing.Because his master, his suzerain country, doesn't want to raise this dog anymore.It's that simple, all his hard work, perseverance, devotion, and killing are meaningless!I don't know how he feels at this time, will he doubt his IQ? Does he not even know that there is absolutely no eternal peace between two nations? Maybe he will always remember the century-old peace between Song and Liao, but he has neither that life nor that blessing. The most important thing is that his brain has been calcified, and he has forgotten that the reason why Song and Liao can always be peaceful is that Because Song Zhenzong personally conquered Tanyuan, the Liao Kingdom had to make peace, and dare not be at odds!This is completely different from his begging for mercy.

It's completely different from him begging for mercy by mutilating his own arms and killing heroes unjustly. Anyway, at this moment he clearly realized that he was finished, and there was no other way but to escape.So where to go, Sichuan—or the sea?He was hesitating, and some people around him helped him make up his mind. Prime Minister Chen Kangbo and Commander Yang Cunzhong of the Forbidden Army suggested that they should fight first.They reminded him that at least a few others at home could be expected.For example, Li Xianzhong, this is the only dare-to-fighter among the new generation of Song generals; for example, Zhang Jun, the former military leader who has been sinking for more than 20 years, has been constantly asking for battle, and now he can try.

For twenty years, Zhao Gou was in a trance, many people and things were floating around in his mind, one name flashed back and forth, and they were all dead.Who is left? Zhang Jun?No, that's not what he wanted.What Zhao Gou remembered was another person's name.More than 20 years ago, it was this person who opened the most glorious chapter of the Northern Expedition! Liu Kai. This is a name that has been almost forgotten, and even most people are not sure whether he is alive or dead.This young man who used to fly bravely and show off his martial arts among millions of troops, once held off the gold army alone and won the decisive victory over Shunchang, disregarding more than ten gold medals in class division, going his own way and insisting on integrity has become a thing of the past and a legend.

His records in the past twenty years are two prefects of Jingnan (now Jiangling, Hubei) and one prefect of Tanzhou (now Changsha, Hunan). Now that the disaster is imminent, I only think of him, but I don't know if this person is still alive. Zhao Gou's luck was very good. He sent someone to check it out, and the report was that he was not dead, but he was almost there.Liu Kai was already sixty-five years old this year. He was bedridden with a serious illness and could not eat any food. He could only drink gruel every day. Zhao Gou was silent. After the silence, send someone to go again and tell the messenger that there is no need to say anything, just talk about the current situation.The effect was miraculous. Liu Kai immediately struggled and asked to lead the army.

Twenty years later, Liu Qi, who was seriously ill and had pale temple hair, went to war.He couldn't ride a horse that day, so he could only leave Lin'an in a sedan chair.On both sides of the road were countless people burning incense and queuing to see him off. They prayed to heaven for the health of the veteran.They knew that if the Southern Song Dynasty could be saved, they could only pin their hopes on this person. Liu Kai, the only remaining famous ZTE general. When Liu Kai crossed the river, Jiangbei was already out of control. He had just led the army to Qinghekou (now Huaiyin West, Jiangsu Province), when a large number of troops from the Jin Army swarmed in, and Zhao Gou's order from the other side also arrived.

Make him abandon the Huai River and guard the River. This means that the entire Huaihe River Basin must be abandoned.Liu Kai felt powerless about this, he was not the same as he was back then, he had the Bazi Army and Shunchang City back then, although the situation was bad, but the fighters were strong, he was in his prime, and he was fearless in everything.But at this time, the Jin State was the most powerful soldier in the country, and he... Liu Kai ordered to retreat, but he had to slow down the speed of the Jin army as much as possible, and bring all the military and civilian supplies that could be withdrawn across the river. According to this idea, he rushed to Yangzhou at the fastest speed, which is the most prosperous city in the Jianghuai area, and there are too many things to be rushed. Four days later, on October 23, Liu Kai withdrew to Guazhou, the largest nearby Yangtze River ferry, with a huge luggage and population.Behind him, the city of Yangzhou was empty, all the houses outside the city were wiped out, and there was nothing left in the city, except for the slogans written on the wall: "Wan Yanliang died here! " At the time, this was just a little curse out of anger, and no one would take it seriously.Unexpectedly, not long after, these words affected the fate of the entire Southern Song Dynasty. Guazhou Ferry is located at the intersection of the lower reaches of the Yangzhou Ancient Canal and the Yangtze River, about 40 miles away from Yangzhou City.This distance is only half a day's march in normal times, but it has become very far away at this time, and the forward troops of the Jin army have already killed behind them.The person who came was Gao Jingshan, the head of ten thousand households. This person was the envoy of the Jin Kingdom Mission who announced Qinzong's death in the Southern Song Dynasty Hall last time. This man showed off his power in the Jiangnan imperial court, and then led the troops to the south. He really bullied the people of Song Dynasty from top to bottom.It seems that he is a violent bull, but he is also very painful in his heart. He felt that he was the most aggrieved vanguard official since the founding of the Jurchens and the war. In people's conventional consciousness, Wan Yanliang has already killed the whole world in Jin Kingdom, so what will happen to Jiangnan?It is estimated that they will smash the bones to absorb the marrow and collect human skins as souvenirs.To be his vanguard officer, he must kill mountains of corpses and seas of blood with the fastest efficiency. wrong. Wan Yanliang is a romantic poet who pursues perfection.Building a palace requires the ultimate effect, and fighting a war must highlight the taste.He is an evolved Jurchen, and he can no longer be as barbaric and crude as his grandfather and uncles before.He ordered the Southern Expedition to be a cultural war. If you don’t burn, don’t kill, don’t prostitute, and don’t rob, you must let the Song people deeply understand that being a courtier of the Kingdom of Jin is happiness. According to records, a small soldier of the Jin army habitually threw a torch into a Song folk house, causing a small fire, causing Wan Yanliang to be furious and ordered to behead his head to show the public. Gao Jingshan is so tasteful, how embarrassing is it!He had no choice but to devote all his energy to marching, sweeping across the Jianghuai land at an unprecedented speed, and caught up with the Song army before Liu Kai rushed to cross the river with the people in the north of the river. The location is saponins forest (now 30 miles south of Jiangdu County, Jiangsu Province). This forest is next to the Yangzhou Ancient Canal.This river has a great reputation, and it is the Yangzhou section of the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal that made Emperor Yang of Sui bankrupt and made Li Tang cheaper. This section is the oldest section of the entire canal system, the narrowest channel, and the most lush vegetation. It can also be said to be the section with the most complex terrain.That day Gao Jingshan saw a group of Song soldiers fleeing from a distance, he was very happy. These days of desperate pursuit finally paid off. There is a big river ahead and pursuers behind. Let's see where you are fleeing? ! He ignored that there were other things between him and Song Bing, the saponins forest and the ancient canal beside the forest. Song Bing ran desperately into the forest, as if he would be safe if he entered the forest.Gao Jingshan chased them enthusiastically, and finally stopped them before entering the forest.At the beginning of the fierce battle, the Jin army vanguard regiments of the whole cavalry surrounded the Song soldiers and hacked in from all directions.From the point of view of the situation, this group of Song soldiers is doomed, and the entire army will definitely be wiped out. In the crisis, this Song army was abnormal. They didn't mess up, and advanced in the same direction. Even the chief general in the formation abandoned his horse and rushed to the forest not far away with his subordinates. It didn't look like they were running for their lives, but they were attacking. We must attack this forest! Gao Jingshan didn't see this, and neither did the huge vanguard cavalry of the Jin Army. As a result, they made two mistakes in a row.At first, they didn't stop them, and let the Song army rush in; then they continued to pursue them relentlessly, feeling that the strength of the two sides was so vastly different that there was no difference between entering the forest or not entering the forest. The difference is a large area of ​​strong and dense arrow rain! It can shoot a rain of arrows from the Song Army God Arm Bow weighing more than three stones.This kind of blow was unbearable even for the first generation of Golden Army fighters. It was a nightmare for the Golden Army in Heshangyuan, Xianrenguan, and on every battlefield. The Jin army immediately turned around and ran away. It is said that they are all cavalry units. It is not a problem if they want to escape, but they forgot where they are.The terrain along the ancient canal is curved and narrow, and when rushing in, they can advance in a swarm. If you want to turn around, especially if the whole army turns around and runs back, it will be very difficult.Song Jun from the saponin forest behind him rushed out and chased them back. Only then did Gao Jingshan realize that he had been fooled.He was lured here, this is a natural battlefield for sniper cavalry! The bull who entered the narrow alley was a tragedy. The cavalry of the Golden Army ended in a disastrous defeat, and only a small part escaped. Even the main general Gao Jingshan died outside the saponins forest. The battle is over.To be honest, to be fair, this battle was just a small encounter in the whole war of Wanyan Liang's invasion of Song Dynasty, just a small wave in a big tide.If it has to be meaningful, it is the first victory of the Southern Song Dynasty since the start of the war, and it can make the trembling monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty feel a little better. Even Liu Kai himself, who commanded the battle, was not very optimistic.There's nothing to be excited about, it's just buying a little time for the big retreat.He continued to withdraw troops to Jiangbei as originally planned, and at the same time his condition worsened, and he could no longer support him. Liu Qi fell down.The news spread to the south of the Yangtze River, causing a lot of lamentation.The last beam collapsed, who else can save the Song Dynasty? At that time, no one realized the true significance of the First Battle of Zaojiao Forest, which quietly shifted the entire battlefield westward.This decision was made by Wan Yanliang himself. He summed up the gains and losses in the battle of Zaojiao Lin, and came to a conclusion that it is impossible to launch a large-scale battle in Yangzhou and Guazhou Ferry. It will repeat the scene just now. The Yangtze River is so vast, where can it not break through?So the battlefield moved westward, to the open area in the middle reaches.This time he obviously did enough homework, and the breakthrough point he chose has a sense of history. It was the river that Cao Bin chose when Zhao Kuangyin destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty——Caishiji. Wan Yanliang felt that, from the analysis of probability, the Kingdom of Jin was far stronger than that of the Northern Song Dynasty, but the current Jiangnan was not as good as that of the Southern Tang Dynasty.Such a comparison, coupled with the successful example of Caishiji, no matter what, the Southern Song Dynasty will surely perish. But he forgot some other data, such as the rear of the Southern Song Dynasty.Before the Northern Song Dynasty destroyed the Southern Tang Dynasty, it first destroyed the Southern Han Dynasty, copying the way of the Southern Tang Dynasty.At this time, the backyard of the Southern Song Dynasty was quiet, and there was no shadow of half of the Jin soldiers. Such as Sichuan.The Northern Song Dynasty first ensured the victory in the upper reaches of Sichuan and then the Tang Dynasty.At this time, Sichuan was still in the hands of the Southern Song Dynasty.Dan Hexi, the apprentice sent by Wan Yanliang, met Wu Lin and suffered a worse defeat than Gao Jingshan.Wu Lin has created the most advanced, complex, and reasonable formation of the Song army on the battlefield, using the foot to defeat the cavalry. The method is as follows: In the first row of battle, the spearmen sat in a half-squat position and were not allowed to stand up, forming a wall of spears.The second row is the strongest bow, the third row is the strong bow, and the fourth row is the god arm bow.Not far away is another position with the same configuration.The formation is surrounded by horse-repelling barriers and connected by iron hooks. When the enemy is a hundred paces away, the god-armed bow shoots first, and when the enemy is seventy paces away, the two teams of strong bows shoot again, and the cavalry hides on the two wings. This configuration allowed the Song Army to get out of the bunker and compete with the Jin Army cavalry on the flat ground in the wilderness.Tu Dan Hexi hit the iron plate, not only did not go into Sichuan, but was counterattacked by Wu Lin, and regained Qin (now Huaxian, Shaanxi), Shan (now Shanxian, Henan), Guo (now Lingbao, Henan) and other states. The Golden Army's defeat in the northwest was pretty good compared to the situation at the easternmost point.The eastern war took place on the sea. As early as a month before Wan Yanliang's army set off, the Golden Army's Zhedong Road Navy had completed its assembly and began to move towards Lin'an. Their opponent is Li Bao, Admiral Li Bao of the Southern Song Dynasty. This General Li was not well-known before, but he has a world-shaking identity-a former soldier of the Yue Family Army and a subordinate of Yue Fei. In these years, he was relegated to the sea by Qin Hui's party, far away from the political and military center, but unexpectedly preserved a precious vitality for the Southern Song Dynasty by accident.Before the war broke out, he had less than five thousand soldiers and two hundred ships. In terms of military strength, it is already a miracle that he can defend the Lin'an sea area. Li Bao's initial plan was the same. Under the premise that the whole country was expecting a successful defense, it was impossible to attack.But the situation suddenly changed, making him feel that not attacking is a crime! This change was entirely caused by one person. His name was Wei Sheng, his style name was Yanwei, he was from Suqian (southwest of Suqian, Jiangsu Province), he was born in a farming family, he was 41 years old, and he used to be an archer. This is an extremely ordinary file. As a healthy male citizen of the Southern Song Dynasty, almost everyone has a similar background and experience. When they are over forty, they become depressed and low-key, until they age silently and die—— —Where Wei Sheng is just the opposite. This person is a piece of ginger, the older it gets, the hotter it gets.When he heard that the Jin army was going to war again after twenty years, his first reaction was that the sun is so bright today.He stood on the ground and yelled in all directions, about 300 men heard it, so they all rushed towards the Huaihe River together. More than 300 civilian armed forces assembled temporarily, and under the leadership of a middle-aged uncle, they crossed the Huaihe River and rushed towards Lianshui, the important town of the Jin Kingdom's navy. No matter how you look at it, they are courting death, but they succeeded in the first battle, and they defeated the Lianshui army!How can this be explained?The whole world is confused about the situation. The Southern Song Dynasty did not respond.The Kingdom of Jin was furious, and the specific person was Gao Wenfu, the magistrate of Haizhou (now Lianyungang, Jiangsu Province), the highest official nearby.Mr. Gao was furious, this is okay, he immediately sent troops to recover! The recovering army of the Jin Army quickly rushed to the scene of the accident. Based on experience, it must be fast, otherwise the group of people would run away.The reality made people sweat again, Wei Sheng didn't run away, he was waiting for them at Lianshui Army. The recovery army of the Jin army was defeated again. After the defeat, they ran back faster than when they came. It wasn't that they ran out of inertia and couldn't stop it, but that Wei Sheng was relentless and was chasing them from behind! Jin Jun never dreamed that there would be such a day when hundreds of middle-aged Han people would be so tough.What Gao Wenfu didn't expect was that he was sitting in Haizhou City waiting for the news, and what he saw was that the Lianshui Army was still in a lost state, and the robbers had already rushed into his city! That day, Wei Sheng led people into Haizhou City, and the Han people in the whole city went crazy, chasing and killing Jin Bing all over the city.When Gao Wenfu escaped, more than a thousand Jin soldiers had already died in the city. The news of Haizhou's restoration reached Li Bao's ears, and his warlike heart was ready to move.If you think about it with your back heel, you can think clearly, the next step is that the Jin army will definitely send out a large army to encircle and suppress Haizhou, no matter how ruthless Wei Sheng is, he can't stand it.And he, Li Bao, has soldiers and ships... Haizhou Linhai.What are you waiting for? Li Bao personally led more than 3,000 people, left Lin'an sea area in more than 100 warships, and rushed to the territory of Jin Kingdom.He arrived very timely, just in time for the Jin army to besiege Haizhou. He and Wei Shengli Yingwai killed more than 10,000 Jin troops and stabilized the situation in Haizhou. To conquer Mingcheng and kill more than 10,000 enemy troops is a huge achievement. It can be said that even the ZTE generals would be satisfied.But after Li Bao and Wei Sheng met, things got completely out of control. Brother, Haizhou is actually nothing. agree. Further north is a place called Jiaoxi, near Shandong, have you heard of it? No. There are a large number of Jin Guo sailors there, who are going to kill Lin'an - two middle-aged uncles stared at each other, a series of sparks burst out of their eyes.They took all the teams and rushed to Jiaoxi, where the Jin Guozhe East Road navy that was about to leave was caught off guard and was wiped out in a flash of flames. Jin Guo lost the war in the east very badly, and it seems that there is no way to make it worse. The whole army has been wiped out!However, compared with what happened in the north, the situation of the war in the east is still easier to accept.Because the north refers to the north of the base camp of the Kingdom of Jin. What happened was a rebellion, and it succeeded. This starts from the far north.Wan Yanliang sent troops across the country this time, everyone had a share, apart from the Jurchens, Xi, Khitan and other ethnic minorities were also included.These subjugated people who were already suffering were forced to go to the battlefield. When the sense of suffering and death accumulated to a certain extent, resistance naturally appeared. The Khitans were the first to act, and the survivors of the Liao Kingdom revolted in Xianping Mansion (near today’s Kaiyuan, Liaoning) and attacked Tokyo (now Liaoyang, Liaoning), one of the five capitals of the Jin Kingdom, and then conquered Linhuang Mansion, the former capital of the Liao Kingdom. (now Bahrain Left Banner, Inner Mongolia).This greatly increased the confidence of the Khitan people with a huge base, and also made Jin Guo more serious. It's nothing to do with the matter up to this point, Jin Guo is so powerful that it ignores all resistance, just send someone to suppress it.But absolutely should not, should not have sent this person. Wan Yanyong stayed behind in Tokyo. Wanyanyong, whose Jurchen name is Wulu, is the grandson of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda.He and Wan Yanliang had the same grandfather, so he survived the nationwide purge of aristocrats, and he was still able to guard one side. It seemed that he was really happy.The fact is not the case, he has been living in danger and humiliation. Wan Yanliang did not kill him, nor treated him preferentially, but sent him to a remote area of ​​Zhongjing (now Ningcheng, Inner Mongolia) to stand guard and reflect.Wan Yanyong knew very well that the danger was imminent, and after taking office, he wished to present rare treasures to his clan brothers every moment to please him.It was very effective. After a while, Wan Yanliang was moved and sent someone to issue an order. Order Wan Yanyong's wife Wu Linda to go to Beijing. Wanyan Yongmeng, the whole world knows that Wanyanliang is an evil ghost, and his wife can only have one result when she goes to Beijing.Can you not go?100% of the whole family copied and beheaded.His wife was very calm, followed the messenger, and hanged herself near the capital. A faithful wife, a miserable husband. But it is said that Wan Yanliang was the most uncomfortable. Such a beauty was so close, she actually died as soon as she said she would die! If you suffer, you will have revenge.Wan Yanliang also understands this truth, but Wan Yanliang is a little embarrassed. After all, rape is not enough to force the other party to death and then kill the husband, which is a bit unreasonable. Well, continue to distribute and suppress Wan Yanyong, and leave him alone for the time being. Wan Yanyong began a long period of patrolling and standing guard in the north. He was forced to move from one city to another, moving to the farther north step by step.When the Khitan people revolted, he was near the place where the incident happened-Tokyo (now Liaoyang, Liaoning).Now that he caught up, and Wan Yanliang was in the great Southern Expedition, the task of suppressing the bandits naturally fell on Wan Yanyong. This is nothing, on the contrary, it will weaken Wan Yanyong's strength in a certain sense, after all, people will die when suppressing bandits, and those who die are all Wan Yanyong's people.What's more, Wan Yanliang has already placed two eyeliners beside him, one is Wanyan Liang's father-in-law Gao Cunfu, and the other is his confidant Li Yanlong, to ensure that Wan Yanyong's every move is under control. But at this time, many Jin troops were defeated from the front line, some of them were Wan Yanyong's former cronies, and they all came to him.This allowed Wan Yanyong to have a large number of troops out of thin air, and he also knew what happened recently. Wan Yanliang killed a large number of people before leaving. Except for the few remaining royal families of the Jin Kingdom, all the captive royal families of the Northern Song Dynasty were killed, and the remaining royal families of the Liao Kingdom were also killed. There is no sign that it will definitely not happen. Kill him Wanyan Yong. With all kinds of hatred and dangers added together, Wan Yanyong decided to rebel.On the surface, it seemed that he had to do this because he didn't want to euthanize, but if you think about it a little deeper, you will find that he will succeed, and it will be very easy. Wan Yanliang won the country by rebellion, and he has been guarding against someone to follow suit.He killed so many members of the royal family, and took away most of the country's military forces during the Southern Expedition, all in order to ensure that the backyard would not be chaotic.But this also determines that unless there is no chaos, as long as someone dares to do it, it will immediately get out of hand. In the extremely empty Jin Kingdom, there is nothing but the deep-rooted hatred for Wan Yanliang.Wan Yanyong quickly killed all the monitors around him with the newly acquired troops, proclaiming himself emperor immediately.The news fell into a powder keg like a spark, and Jin Guo exploded in an instant.Revenge, revenge, revenge!Wan Yanliang, a pervert, butcher, madman, and warmonger, the people of the Jin Kingdom hated him so much——Wan Yanyong succeeded! The news of Wan Yanyong's proclaiming himself emperor spread to the front line, just as the war in the saponin forest in front of Guazhou Ferry ended, and the Jin army moved to the front line of Caishiji.After being shocked, Wan Yanliang kept himself awake enough, and gave two orders: First, strictly block the news, do not allow it to spread, and never let the soldiers of the Southern Expedition know. Second, carefully estimate the energy of this rebellion.He had to figure out Wan Yanyong's damage index in order to decide whether to send troops back to the country immediately to suppress the rebellion, or continue to attack the Southern Song Dynasty. History has proved that until this moment, Wanyan Liang and his staff still did not face Wanyan Yong squarely.Perhaps in their eyes, Wan Yanyong is a cowardly son.The reason is that this man was granted the title of king during the period of Jin Xizong, and he had nothing to do and made no achievements; during the period of Wan Yanliang, he was greedy for life and afraid of death, and his wife did not respond when she was forced to death. Why should such a person be afraid? Therefore, the result of their analysis is that it is a trap to ignore domestic affairs.If the troops return, whether the entire army is withdrawn or some people are left to continue the offensive, there will be one result—the disintegration of the army. Ever since Wan Yanliang came to power, he has only used coercion to subdue people and killed them, without the slightest bit of kindness.If this momentum cannot be maintained, if there is a slight defeat, such as this personal conquest, without a substantial victory, the whole people will immediately become enemies.What's more, Wan Yanyong held the family members of the army in his hand. You can't go back, you can only go forward.He thought of a bright prospect. If he forcibly and quickly crossed the river, conquered the Southern Song Dynasty, and accomplished the feat that the previous emperors of the Jin Kingdom failed to accomplish, what would happen if the whole army returned to the city? Little Wan Yanyong, but suffering from scabies, raise your hand Raul! When making the above decision, Wan Yanliang ignored two issues.One is the Yangtze River.He was right in thinking, if he could really cross the river quickly to calm the south of the Yangtze River, he might be able to return to the city to suppress the rebellion with the momentum of destroying the dead and the power of destroying the country, and get everything done. But the question is what if we can't cross the river, or if we can cross the river slowly?At that time, Wan Yanyong in the country had already developed an aura, and the north and the south were enemies, what could he do?Not to mention what happens in case of failure! Then there is Wan Yanyong.This person has always been underestimated, what kind of person he is, it will take decades to verify, it is really extraordinary. In fact, even now, his body is full of bright spots, but there is a problem with other people's perspectives and they haven't noticed it.For example, the above two reasons for despising him. Wan Yanyong is one year younger than Wan Yanliang, being conferred the title of prince at such a young age is not something everyone can do, this is not a bad deed anyway.As for being timid and afraid of getting into trouble—the Jurchens do not lack courage, each of them was hacked by Jin Wushu or Wan Yanliang, which only shows that they are all political noobs, with a bit of dark and low-key potential nothing. Survival is the first element of a politician. Wan Yanliang made up his mind to go south and then go north, and after taking down Jiangnan, he would return to the country like a thunderbolt, which required him to be fast, so he thought of the most successful example that happened recently. That time when Cao Binbo was on the Yangtze River. That time happened in Caishiji, so he will go too.Revisiting the topography, Caishiji is located on the south bank of the Yangtze River five kilometers southwest of Ma'anshan City, Anhui Province. According to records, it is called the Three Rocks of the Yangtze River together with Yueyang Chenglingji and Nanjing Yanziji. The reputation of "a show through the ages".beautiful isn't it?Looking at the introductions of those tourist brochures, it is impossible to understand what the place looks like. First of all, it is a mountain named Cuiluo.This mountain juts out from the edge of the river into the river, and the side facing the water is a 131-meter-high cliff, which is Caishiji.Seeing these, everyone will ask, the data shows that it is really dangerous and difficult to climb. Why is the Yangtze River so wide, and it must be here to land? After asking Yan Liang, he would say that's what Cao Bin did. Ask Cao Bin, Cao Bin will say that the power of technology is infinite.The dreamy pontoon bridge that crossed both sides of the Yangtze River had to be erected near here. Who asked Fan Ruoshui to measure the shallow ditch here? How many warships were saved by crossing the river with pontoon bridges, making the powerful navy of the Southern Tang Dynasty a complete display. What a magical design! Then I turned around and asked Wanyan Liang, where is that waterway?Do you have the huge supplies to build the pontoon bridge?The answer is no.So what about the ships of the Navy, should there be such a thing?Wan Yanliang was silent.He really has boats, but they are all on the sea, and the navy of Zhedong Road has been burned down by Li Bao and Wei Sheng long ago. All he had were a small number of small warships, and it was a difficult task to use these to transport hundreds of thousands of troops across the river, and he even raised the level of difficulty to the dangerous rocky rocks—— What type of brain is this? In any case, I have a complete idea and equipment on the north bank, and now I will go to the south bank. Jiangnan is also in full swing, first changing players.Liu Kai was seriously ill and unable to support himself, so he was replaced by Cheng Min.King Quan dereliction of duty, replace Li Xianzhong to fight.And the whole responsibility of Jiang Fang fell into the hands of a senior official of the Privy Council, this person was Ye Yiwen. Ye Yiwen rushed to Zhenjiang Mansion (now Zhenjiang City, Jiangsu Province) and set up a temporary command post there.The first order he issued was to recruit as many civilians as possible to go to the riverside for defense. He asked the peasants to dig sand into a ditch, plant branches in the middle to act as thorns, and prepared to use these to resist the Jin army from rushing to the beachhead.These people were chatting while working, praising Ye Shumi for his high thinking.These fortifications were done very quickly. When the day was finished, the tides rose at night, and the ditches dug in the sand and the barricades made of branches were washed away.But it doesn't matter, you can dig and cover again tomorrow! Ye Yiwen is such a guy. The fate of Jiangnan can be imagined.Comparing the two, the brain of the Southern Song Dynasty is even more stupid!In the competition of comparing brain capacity between the north and the south, there is a character who seems to be in the game but is not important at all, and is rushing to the front line of Caishiji. His name is Yu Yunwen, and his position is Zhongshusheren and military staff officer. In recent years, his job is like running errands.For example, on a long-term mission, go to the Kingdom of Jin to serve as an envoy; on a short-term mission, like this time, go to Wuhu to urge Li Xianzhong to hurry up, go to the front line to hand over the military power, and then go to Caishiji to inspect the troops to reward the army.This kind of errand, coupled with his age - already fifty-one years old, it can be seen that his official career is not very smooth. This is for sure, when Qin Hui was in power, those who were able to succeed in officialdom were all bastards. Yu Yunwen is not popular.The Southern Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty both bothered him equally.First of all, he is handsome, with a height of six feet and four inches, which is equivalent to more than two meters in modern times.This is really not low-key, let alone the Song Dynasty, even the Jurchens feel annoyed when they see it. When I was sent to the Kingdom of Jin, at a banquet, the Jurchen came over with a bow and said with a smile: "Come on, master, let's shoot an arrow." Obviously I want to see the fun of the Southern Song literati.How tall is he, the same frail waste.Unexpectedly, Yu Yunwen took the bow and shot the arrow, hitting the bull's-eye, which ruined the good mood of a lot of Jurchen nobles.Afterwards, Yu Yunwen looked around in the north, and when he returned to the south of the Yangtze River, he made an additional report that the Kingdom of Jin was bound to launch a war in the near future, and everything was ready there. This also ruined the good mood of the nobles in the Southern Song Dynasty. Yu Yunwen was doomed to be a small official running errands, especially when the war broke out, he could only run around on the front line.This looks miserable and cannon fodder, but Yu Yunwen did it with great enthusiasm.As always, he always took the opportunity to do something to make someone feel bad about his own pleasure.This time was no exception, as he was running, he went astray. According to the procedure, he should go to Wuhu to pick up Li Xianzhong first, but he rushed to Caishiji, the front line first.History has proved how important this deviation is, because some people at the forefront, like him, did not play their cards according to the rules. kingship. So far, this general who only knows how to retreat all the way, from Huainan to Jiangbei, the fleeing general who has never fought in the first battle, started running again before Li Xianzhong was in place.At this time, the front line of Caishiji was in a power vacuum, and no one was in charge.Jiangnan officers and soldiers in the most dangerous part of the south of the Yangtze River are as lazy, casual, procrastinated, and irresponsible as prisoners released. This is what Yu Yunwen saw in Caishiji. Officers and soldiers sat by the road in twos and threes, with saddles and armor thrown all over the place.This is not a soldier, it is purely a refugee who escaped from the north! That is to say, Wan Yanliang didn't have a telescope, otherwise he would have crossed the river immediately, and he was guaranteed to succeed.Realizing this, Yu Yunwen's heart that annoyed those in power was ready to move again. He decided to do something about it. If we analyze it calmly and objectively, all the cornerstones supporting his move are of course the strong patriotism and concern for the country throughout his life.But if he really wants to implement it, he knows that everything is because he took advantage of a small loophole. There is no unified commander of the military on the front line of Caishiji. Yu Yunwen convened a meeting of the generals as a civil servant on the front line of rewarding teachers.No one with logical thinking would have high hopes for the group of stragglers outside who only know how to retreat all the way.But Yu Yunwen can only rely on them. How to do it? Move first with affection.Yu Yunwen tried to communicate with these soldiers in the most important way he personally thought, and found that the idea of ​​loyalty to the emperor and patriotism still had some market twenty years after Yue Fei's death. The soldiers were a little excited, but not enthusiastic enough. Then move it for "profit". Yu Yunwen threw out his authority.He came to reward the teachers, that is, to bring all kinds of good things to the front line to condolences to the commanders and fighters.These good things included money, cloth, and commissions.He moved all these things out and told the soldiers that as long as you make meritorious service, these things belong to you! The soldiers were so motivated that they were all on fire, and all of them were wailing and begging for an immediate decisive battle. This is really the right medicine. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty are special cases in Chinese history, except for very few cases such as Yue Fei.Honor, country, nation, etc. are the unchanging ethics deep in their hearts, which is true, but when it comes to how to stimulate fighting spirit, money is always the most important, there is no doubt! This group of people can bring the enemy's head to the chief to ask for credit, officials, and money during the short intervals on the battlefield, even if they are defeated by the counterattack because of this, they will not hesitate! That's it, what's the matter with love. So on this day, Yu Yunwen successfully stimulated them.在一片欢腾热烈的气氛中，虞允文想着下一步要怎么做。这时有人悄悄地走到他身边问：“你是来犒军的，不是来督战的。这么搞是不是越权？万一战败了，难道你不怕负责任？” 虞允文的回答是：“危及社稷，吾将安避？”这八个字像是冰冷的雪水，静静地浮沉在周围一片被物质、富贵所激起的火海之中。这一刻，他仍然是不合时宜的，哪怕只有他才是真正做对了的那个人。 不管怎样，虞允文像闪电一样迅速地把尽可能多的战斗力团结在了一起，为同一个目标战斗。他成了采石矶前线的最高长官，他清点了一下人数，此时共有军力一万八千人。 他命令全军于江边列阵，成防御阵形。派五支大船出港，其中两只沿江边游弋，一只在江心待战，剩下两只藏在江畔小港里，伺机而动。 以上就是虞允文为这次决战作的所有布置。这无论如何都显得单薄而仓促，尤其是南宋资以立国的江防水军居然只有五艘战船！ 当然不止这些，采石矶周边是重点防御地段，有建制庞大的水军力量，由姓韩、姓蔡的两个将军统领。可人家就是不出战，你能奈何？ 就算动之以“利”都不成，还能怎样？毕竟虞允文没有军职、没有任命，没法真正砍了他们。这是单薄的原因。至于为什么这样仓促，是因为江北岸。 完颜亮站在刀刃上，没有谁比他更急，虞允文刚到前线那边就开始渡江作战了！运气再一次抛弃了完颜亮。 完颜亮杀马祭天，按传统习惯战争会在第二天进行，可就在这时，虞允文到了……当天虞允文隔着宽阔的江面，看到北岸上筑起了高台，台下有绣旗招展，台上的金国皇帝手里挥着一面小红旗，之后一大片金国水军船只冲向了南岸。 时值农历十一月，深冬天寒，北风大起，金军出动了数百只中小型战船顺风漂向南岸。这天的风真的好大，大到让完颜亮满意，他的旱鸭子军团可以不用划桨操橹就能快速冲过天险水面，哪怕南宋水军在江心布置了拦截船只也不起作用。 七十余艘金军战船抵达了南岸，其余的在江心打转，抵达只是时间、地点的问题。这些金军很快从船上跳了下来，冲向了虞允文布在江边的江防大阵。 时隔二十年，宋军再一次在江边遇到了女真人。时光是白开水、是稀释剂，能让曾经铁血的女真人变得松软，也能让本来整体硬度就不够的宋朝人变得更加松软。七十多艘战船，最多不过一万余人，这群人在晕船的痛苦里举起刀枪冲向了比他们人数多很多的宋军，后果是南宋军队的阵形散乱，开始了零星的溃退。 典型的一触即溃！ 这片江岸滩头阵地是南宋的立国之本，任何一点小退却都是灾难性的，而江心中还有三倍于此的女真人随时都会登岸，谁都知道那时会无法收拾。 虞允文真的急了，他至少不能让敌人在第一波进攻时就得手！ 他冲入阵中，找到了统制官时俊。虞允文把手放在对方的后背上，说了一句改变战局、扭转国运的话——“将军，你以胆略勇武名震四方，这时怎么能像个女人一样站在阵后？” 这是一句很朴实的话，没有什么大道理，就是一个男人在告诉另一个男人，在打架的时候像个爷们儿，别像个娘们儿！ 于是被告诫的那个人受不了了，大吼一声，拔刀就冲了出去。他身边的宋军被带动了，全都猛醒了一样收回了逃跑的脚，跟着他冲向了准备追杀的女真人。谁怕谁？开封陷落时女真人或许很猛，搜山检海时南宋人或许很软，可是自从和尚原、仙人关、黄天荡、顺昌、郾城之战后，谁是草包谁知道！ 历史证明了南宋的军队只要站稳了脚，敢跟女真人面对面，胜利就不是什么奢侈品。战局很快扭转，上了岸的金军被反压回江边。 上面这一切很热血、很本真，没有什么大道理。它也让人感觉到南宋还残存着一点点血性，有了这些就绝不会亡国。 回到战场，长江南岸上战局逆转，江面上金军的水师战船也遇到了麻烦。这些船开始在江心打转，想靠风吹到南岸很难，更不堪忍受南宋水师趁火打劫。 南宋军方的船很少，只有三艘，可都是巨型的海鳅战船，他们进攻时没用常规手段里的弓箭、火箭、靠舷跳船近战等，而是直接用船去撞。这就是装备上的差距，三艘大船在一片洗澡盆里横冲直撞，很快江面上堆满了底朝天的舢板。 局面大好，可劳动量实在是太大了，毕竟对方是数百艘，而南宋只有三艘。悬殊的对比只会让南岸的压力越来越大。 因为毕竟吹着强劲的北风，所有的船又都向南岸漂！ 时间在这种威胁下一点点地过去，到天色将黑时战斗仍然没有结束。也就是说，南岸的金军背水死拼，被渐渐削弱，江心处南宋水军竭尽全力抵挡，战线却慢慢靠近南方。日暮将近，公平地讲，南宋的局势越来越恶劣了。 因为陆地战场上金军没被肃清，而金船终究会漂到南岸边的。 绝境中一件偶然的小事，一个不起眼的机遇被虞允文抓住了。有一队大约三百人的淮西溃兵从和州方向逃了过来，虞允文纵观全局，离着很远就派人过去拦住了他们。让这些人重新着装，高举战旗从战场的另一端，即一片山崖后面冲了出来。 激战一整天的金军绝望了。他们一切的希望都寄托在江心的援军身上，可关键时刻居然是南宋来了援军！这个打击结束了当天的战斗，南岸的金军四散逃跑，虞允文命令追击，强弓劲弩追着射，一片片的金军倒在了夜幕中。战后清点，金军横尸四千余具，其中万户长两名，千户长五名，活捉女真五百余人。 基本上南岸的金军全军覆灭。 江面上金国水军们的技术突然变好了，他们拼命地往北岸划，很多艘船居然都逃了回去。战斗结束，夜色下两岸都是灯火通明，各自忙得热火朝天。 南岸虞允文杀猪宰羊，犒赏三军，席间的娱乐活动是抓来那两个龟缩在水寨里不出战的水军统领，各打一百军棍出气。 在北岸，完颜亮更加忙碌，他气得差点自燃，忙着连夜杀人。当天出战的全部金军，一部分死在了南岸，一部分死在了江心，逃回来的这些全被他宰了。理由是，谁让你们逃回来的，不过江就是罪，有罪必杀！ 这是完颜亮一生的做事方法。他是个零容忍的人，不达标就只有死路一条，没有谁能例外。 正是这一点，在不久的将来，把整件事推向了让人炫目的高潮。 当夜，完颜亮忙着杀人的时候，虞允文也没闲着。他清楚地知道江北岸的数十万大军绝不会因为初战受挫就收兵，第二天才是见真章的时候。 虞允文命令南宋水师的大部分战船连夜起锚驶向上游，在杨林口一带埋伏。这是他能作的唯一准备，而这个准备还要得益于刚刚结束的宴会上那两百记血肉横飞的军棍。 南宋水师的正规军终于能够上阵出战了。 第二天，金军果然发起了又一次冲锋。北风依旧，战船依旧，仍然是大批量蜂拥而出，并且这些大兵的决心比前一天更大。因为每个人都知道，在这位皇帝的率领下，“不胜利毋宁死”。这句口号绝不仅仅是句口号，它会成为一个血淋淋的事实。 一点都不热血，非常屈辱，但绝对是真的！ 压力变成了动力，可动力在半天之后变成了江面上随波浮动的一片片碎木板。这一次没有一个金兵能踏上长江南岸。当南宋水师从上游顺流而下冲入金军船队后，一切都结束了。三百余艘金军战船被焚烧击沉，整片江面上漂满了女真人的尸体。 完颜亮又一次失败了。他想杀人，可是站在江边，他没等到一个逃回来的金兵。这很郁闷，但也不能坏了规矩。他命人把三个人押过来，砍头了事。这三个人中有两个是负责造船的，剩下的那个叫梁汉臣，就是这个倒霉蛋鼓动他在采石矶渡江的。 见血之后怒火更旺，完颜亮看什么都不顺眼，一转头看见了自己的龙风辇——把它也烧了！烧完了这辆豪车，完颜亮冷静了点，他决定江还是要渡的，必须快渡，不过得另选个渡口。 金军向长江下游移动，把渡江点选在了瓜洲渡口。那里在皂角林之战过后，已经掌握在了金军的手里。南宋方面自从刘锜病倒之后，全面退到了长江南岸。 完颜亮的御营扎在瓜洲镇龟山寺。 这里风光很好，有利于完颜亮临江赋诗，也有利于军事指挥，更适合鼓舞士气。皇帝亲临第一线，这是自从完颜阿骨打之后第一个这么搞的金国皇帝。每个女真大兵都知道这位皇帝不是来激励他们的，而是来监督他们的。 谁不死在前线，就得死在他的手里！ 同一时刻，完颜亮也是满肚子的牢骚。以为他喜欢瓜洲渡口吗？愿意落脚在和尚庙里吗？这都是一连串的不得已。 按说他该进驻扬州，那里才适合做指挥所。可是那儿满城里都是诅咒他必死于此的标语，看得他心烦意乱。他那颗敏感、诗性的小心脏不由自主地展开联想，会变成事实吗？不会变成事实吧？打仗是要有口彩的啊……他决定无论如何也不住在扬州。 这时，他不知道这个决定会带来什么样的后果。 进抵瓜洲渡口，完颜亮整顿军队，准备尽可能快地渡江。可是他很快接到了战报，说南宋方面主动进攻了，很多海鳅战船从南岸起航，正驶向瓜洲渡口。 完颜亮火速赶到江边，正看到南宋的战船在水面上行动如飞，直逼北岸。他的军队迅速作出防守准备，却见这些船在岸边画了个优美流畅、分外风骚的弧线，又重回了江心。等他们放松了警惕，觉得没事了，这些船又冲了回来，速度、弧线再一次上演。 流畅依旧，风骚更甚。 这种情况一连发生了三次，北岸的金军集体瞠目结舌。他们从来没想过在风高浪急如此宽阔的江面上，会有船划得这样随心所欲。 沮丧不可遏制地出现，眼前这一幕让前两次水上大败的金军感到深深的无力，面对这样的技术，就算有船又能怎样，何况现在连大船都没有。 危急中，他们听到了一个充满了乐观主义、浪漫精神、仿佛洞彻了所有秘密的声音说：“不要慌，这些船都是纸——做——的。” 完颜亮如是说。 不带这样忽悠人的！ 当天江边上几十万金军泪流满面，又一次被这个叫完颜亮的皇帝“强奸”了。无可奈何，只好悻悻然散了，留下完颜亮一个人独立江边。 完颜亮的心很乱，他隐约感觉到大事不妙了。采石矶无法突破，转攻瓜洲渡口，这能行吗？军队还是之前的军队，所差者是士气愈加低落。战船还是那些战船，差的是数量更少了，两相对比，瓜洲渡口之战比采石矶之战更加没有把握。 而国内叛乱改朝换代的消息再也捂不住了。完颜雍变着法儿把消息渗透进前线，每天都有逃兵出现，这种势头只会越来越严重，直到南征大军解体——完颜亮不寒而栗，到那时，他将如何是好？ 之前有退路而不退，这时想抽身而不得。 后悔更是没法奢求的东西，完颜亮只有孤注一掷强渡天险了。他坚信，只要他的数十万大军踏上了长江南岸的土地，天下就还是他的，他还是会成为统一南北胡汉的一代大帝。 绝望与奢望交织，危机与梦想同步。完颜亮一会儿像坠入了冰冷的深渊海底，浑身发抖万劫不复；一会儿又灵魂升腾，自觉金冠加顶无上尊荣……他在悬崖绝壁的边缘上下了这样一道命令，来改变自己的命运。 make: 转天即渡江，军士有临阵逃跑的，杀蒲里衍（小队长）；蒲里衍逃跑的，杀谋克（百夫长）；谋克逃，杀猛安（千夫长）；猛安有逃的，杀其总管！ 命令下达，全军一片哗然。这是在干什么？全军连坐，也就是全军皆仇了？这个念头在女真大兵们的心头闪过，被压抑了很久的怨恨猛然爆发！ 军队是个非常特殊的东西，从它出现之日起，就被要求必须无条件地服从任何命令。Why is this?就是因为它有隐患，它会不服从命令！ 完颜亮一步步地把他的军队逼上了绝路，让这种隐患浮出了水面。 完颜亮把全部的希望都压在了渡江成功上，却不知即使这时顺利渡江，也谈不到什么建功立业了。他的机会只停留在采石矶，那两天过后，好运已经先他一步站到了南宋一边。 金军从采石矶撤军东进之后，李显忠才带着生力军赶到，这里的防务立即充实。 虞允文准确预判下一个战场是瓜洲，他向李显忠借了一万八千名士兵，赶赴与瓜洲隔江相望的京口，途中顺路拜访了刘锜。 刘锜已到弥留之际，他拉着虞允文的手说：“我的病没有什么可怕的，朝廷养兵三十年，最后大功居然出自君辈书生之手，真使我辈军人愧死！” 虞允文感叹，安慰了几句，匆匆赶往了前线。刘锜不久便病重身亡了。这位老兵死了，其实他完全不必感觉惭愧。 “朝廷养兵三十年……” 我个人觉得，这句话很可能出自宋人史官的捏造。南宋官方在这三十年间做了什么天下皆知，杀功臣、散军队、败坏铁血军魂，哪一点称得上“养”？ 尤其刘锜是当事人，他像岳飞一样连续接到过十余块收兵金牌，唯一比岳飞幸运的是躲过了一刀毙命而已。 满腹怨怼，怎可能生出半点惭愧？ 虞允文赶到了京口，在这里他瞬间就放松了。这里有大批的战船，外加大量的修补材料和工人，他能在很短的时间内改装甚至赶造战舰，加强江防力量。 而他真正的底气还在陆地上，南宋军方终于完成了集结，在最初的混乱恐慌之后，杨存中、成闵、邵宏渊等诸路军队已经会集到京口一线，军力达到了二十万以上。这等规模，哪怕金军渡江成功也将遭遇严重的挑战，到时以久疲怀怨之军，面对被逼至绝境的守军，金军凭什么敢说必胜？ 这些完颜亮都不知道，就算他知道了也会强迫自己不知道。他眼下能做的就是向全军施压，逼着军队像他一样变得疯狂，必须杀过长江去！ 这种压力把很多金军高级将领逼到了崩溃的边缘。为了活下去，他们走进了金国兵部尚书、浙西路都统完颜元宜的帐篷里。 这个人官儿很大，职正当位，是官方的军队主管，可这并不是这些大兵走投无路之后来找他的原因。 完颜元宜，本名耶律元宜，他爸耶律慎思是反水的那一代耶律里的佼佼者，他作为权二代一直平步青云。 可遗憾的是，他还是姓耶律，哪怕已经叫完颜元宜。 一群满手血腥的亡命徒聚在有叛变血统的世袭亡命徒的帐篷里，全都是走投无路的命运，不需要很长的时间，血腥味立即浓重。 局面很简单，前进是江水，是宋军的固防；后退是陛下的屠刀。前进后退都是死，那么谁去死？这个答案只有一个——完颜亮！ 哪怕他是皇帝。 说做就做，挡在他们面前的难题有两个。一个是士兵，需要立即鼓动起来。耶律元宜先从本部士兵下手，他宣布了完颜亮的“最新命令”。 令全军明早出战，都下马游过江去，攻击南宋江防阵地！ 军营立即爆炸了，谁听见谁反。 第二个是完颜亮的护卫亲军。那是金国军队里最强、最精锐的五千名兵，他们精于骑射，万里挑一，身披名贵的茸丝软甲。其中紫茸为上，青茸为下，对外统称为“紫茸军”，又称“硬军”或“细军”。完颜亮常说，平定江南有这五千人就足够了。 几十万军队造反，五千人当然不算什么，可拖延时间制造混乱出现变数却不得不防。为此耶律元宜于傍晚时分亲自去了亲军营，对精锐们说，宋人在江东的财产全都集中在海陵城，皇帝有诏命你们马上去取来。精锐们马上信了，皇帝的钱当然要由他们去取，取时自然要收取车船劳务费。这是特权，更是本职，向来都由他们来干。 精锐们马上出发。 这时完颜亮的御营被孤零零地晾在了瓜洲镇龟山寺附近，漂浮在夜幕下数十万军队的海洋里…… 当天晚上，完颜亮像往常一样入睡，没人知道他在南北受敌、前进受阻、后退无路的局面下能否入睡。 但是他熄了灯，上了床。这本身就是很强的素质，很强的心理修养。可以考证的是，当天晚上他的床上没有女人，他并没有用发泄来抵御焦虑恐慌。 夜幕渐深，直到晓色初现，光明就要重临大地了。据说这个时段正是人类睡得最深沉的时候。就在这时，完颜亮突然惊醒。 他听见了喊杀声，声音迅速逼近，几乎没有阻碍地传进了他的耳朵里。下一刻弓弦的嗡鸣声大作，有羽箭射进了他的大帐内！ 完颜亮愕然，他起床亮烛，拿起那支箭，震惊于那是他的军队、金军士兵使用的羽箭。史料记载他叹息了一声，说不是南宋劫营，是自己人造反啊！ 他的内侍劝他逃跑，完颜亮苦笑，
