Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The lack of practical experience makes it impossible to judge which strategies are correct, so psychological comfort and catering are more acceptable to Zhao Gou.

For Wang Boyan, no matter how the situation changes this time, if he keeps King Kang, his official career will be improved to a higher level.

As for people like Zong Ze, since he is willing to do something, let him do it. We just need to sit back and enjoy the benefits.

Zhao Gou certainly didn't have a million-strong army, but there were quite a few.

The Song army who was defeated from Hebei and Hedong and went south all gathered here at Zhao Gou.

These Song troops were not temporarily formed by ordinary people like Zongze's. They came from Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan prefectures.

It was the most important military defense line in the northern part of the Song Dynasty.

The three towns are the barriers of the country!

However, these three towns fell successively in the first year of Jingkang, and the results of the Song Dynasty's century-old management here were burned.

Moreover, when the war broke out, elites were dispatched from the northwest, and many famous generals of the Western Army were thrown in, such as Zhong Shizhong and Yao Gu.

(Zhe, she, Taijun Zhe from Yang Family General)

There are also people like Wang Chi, who defended Taiyuan until the last soldier, who was shot dozens of times and threw himself into the river.

It is the famous general who was a treacherous minister in "Water Margin", but was actually loyal to his liver and died for his country in history.

Some of the defeated troops went south one after another and were recruited by Zhao Gou's King Qin.

This includes Zhang Jun, who had been with the Zhongshizhong before, and Han Shizhong, who had been with Liu Yanqing, the general manager of Yanyan Road, one of the towns in Shaanxi, located in the northwest.

In addition, Liu Guangshi, one of the four generals of Zhongxing in the Southern Song Dynasty, was also among them.

Therefore, in fact, Zhao Gou's subordinates gathered a group of elite troops from the Great Song Dynasty.

But now the battle situation is still like this, which is enough to show that in this era, the gap between Song and Jin military is no longer 01:30.

Almost half of Hebei and Hedong were swept away by the Jin army, and the so-called elites of the Song army were beaten to the point where they were powerless to fight back.

From the first year of Jingkang to the second year of Jingkang, it can be said that the situation was the worst.

The dark Iron Curtain is covering Hebei and Hedong.

A large area of ​​territory was lost, the elites of the country were maimed, the Gu family surrendered to the enemy, the generals of the Zhong family and the Yao family were wiped out, and there were many officials who defected to the enemy on Shandong Road.

So, now that the Daming Mansion is under siege, objectively speaking, Zhao Gou cannot be blamed.

For a normal person, such a situation may occur.

The military gap between the Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty cannot be filled by ordinary people.

A person like Zong Ze is one in a million.

At this time, who can stand up and carry the banner, which one is not as strong as steel?

After all, Zhao Gou at this time is just an ordinary person, a 20-year-old kid.

Can you still count on him to turn things around?

Zong Ze is a person with a heart like the sea, and he will definitely not die because of Zhao Gou's previous behavior.

And Liu Hao was right, if Zongze didn't save King Kang, there would be a lot of people in the court to impeach him, which would be bad for his politics.

Therefore, both emotionally and rationally should be saved.

On April 21st, the rain hadn't stopped yet, Zongze's soldiers were already on the side of Daming Mansion, only a dozen miles away from Wanyan Wushu's cavalry.

Everyone is ready for battle, and the vanguard battalion tanks are also ready.

In fact, chariots were gradually phased out after the Warring States period. It is said that the elimination is not accurate, and it gradually fades away.

In fact, in the absence of cavalry and heavy infantry, the Central Plains army would also use chariots.

Even at the end of the Ming Dynasty, it was famous to use a large number of chariots with muskets to fight slaves. Sun Chengzong, a strategist at the end of the Ming Dynasty, liked to do this configuration.

This is also an unavoidable countermeasure.

But at this time, Wanyan Wushu sent an envoy to meet Zongze.

Chapter 67 Push this traitor out and chop it up as a sacrifice to my handsome flag

The envoy of Wanyan Wushu walked all the way, and he couldn't help being a little surprised when he saw the Song army's strict military discipline and neat tents.

Except for Liu Hao's men, Zong Ze's army is basically not considered a regular army.

But Zong Ze's military discipline is very strict, and he has already chopped off many heads.

Zongze welcomes those ruffians and hooligans who want to come in to make a living, but if they make noise here and don't abide by military discipline, Zongze will immediately hang their heads up for public display.

The messenger raised his head and looked at the human head hanging on the wooden pole in front of him.

He counted them, and there were 12 in total. The puddles on the ground were red, and they should have been cut down not long ago.

Those heads are still staring forward with their eyes open, their mouths are slightly opened, and the fear before death is still on their faces.

They were caught by Zong Ze because they were playing hippies when they were in formation, and they were pushed down and chopped up on the spot.

Compassion doesn't command soldiers, it's not just a joke.

Zongze's fighting power is not blown out either.

The old general himself would take the lead, inspecting the soldiers in the heavy rain, and eating with the soldiers on weekdays.

These behaviors were actually rare in the Song army in the past.

The military and political system of the Great Song Dynasty was almost completely destroyed by Tong Guan. In the army, there are many people who eat nothing and drink soldiers' blood. In addition to unqualified weapons, insults to the soldiers' personality, and military salary deductions can also be seen everywhere.

So, why is Yue Fei's army so strong?

Because neither Yue Fei nor Zong Ze were from the military and political system in the past, and they did not bring those bad habits over.

This is also the reason why Zhao Ning must establish the military and political academy.

Zong Ze just returned to his tent and took off his coir raincoat.

"Marshal, the envoy of the Jin Army is here to see you."

Liu Hao was surprised and said, "What is the intention of the envoy of the Jin Army coming to see you at this time?"

Li Cue said: "Marshal, our army is about to go to war with the Jin army, why don't you kill this messenger and sacrifice our army flag!"

Li Cue didn't dare to fight the Jinren before, but Zong Ze threatened to behead him in front of the three armies, so he was willing to fight.

After this battle, my confidence was built up, and now every day is like fighting chicken blood.

And once a man has achieved a little bit, he will brag. Now Li Cui often tells others in the army, "Where is the gold thief, I'm hungry and thirsty for my sword."

Liu Yan said: "The last general agrees, our army is about to fight the gold thief, and the golden thief's envoy came just in time!"

Zong Ze said: "Bring in the envoy of the Jin Army!"

Not long after, people came in.

"Deputy Marshal Zong!"

"Who is under your feet?"

"My lord, Liu Wangde, is ordered by General Wushu to come to see Deputy Marshal Zong."

"Are you Chinese?"

"Below is the magistrate of Cheng'an County, Daming Prefecture."

"You are the magistrate of Cheng'an County!" Zong Ze was taken aback.

Cheng'an County is less than 50 miles west of Daming City.

"Exactly!"

"You surrendered to the Jin army?"

Liu Wangde said: "Marshal Zong, this is not a surrender. I am a man who knows the current affairs as a hero. The Jin army is in full swing and unstoppable. Even the capital is besieged, and the Generalissimo is also besieged. Before you came, the Generalissimo's Mansion The men and horses were beaten to pieces."

Zhao Ning learned of the retreat of the Jin army on April 22, and it is now April [-].

In fact, many people in the Hebei area did not know that the Jin army had retreated.

Only in places like Cizhou, which are very close to the retreat of the main force of the Jin army, will it be rumored that the Jin army is retreating northward.

After all, ancient times are not the 21st century, and news transmission is not so fast.

And Liu Wangde even thought that the Jin army was still besieging Tokyo.

As for Tokyo, they did not immediately send people to Hebei to announce the withdrawal of the Jin army.

Because the Tokyo side didn't understand the battle situation in Hebei, it was impossible to send someone to announce the retreat of the Jin army hastily.

This kind of military affairs is not a trifling matter.

The bullets are still flying.

Zong Ze glared at Liu Wangde, and said, "You are an official of the Great Song Dynasty, and you surrendered to the gold thief. How can you be worthy of your father?"

"Deputy Marshal Zong, the officials are still trapped in Tokyo City?" Liu Wangde didn't feel guilty at all, as if he was very happy.

Before the Jin army went south, Daming Mansion was used as a barrier to the north of Kaifeng Mansion. Liu Wangde lived in fear at home all day, fearing that he would be killed by the Jin army.

Now that he has surrendered and saved his life, it seems that there is no change for him. It is nothing more than a change of superior. He is still an official, still takes money, and lives happily.

"The Great Song Dynasty is over. Whether the officials can escape from Bianjing is a problem. The Generalissimo can't last long. General Wushu said, you are a talent. As long as you surrender, he will definitely reuse you and will never let you go." Like in Song Dynasty, you have been buried for decades before you can emerge!"

"Since you have surrendered, you dare to come to see me, not afraid that I will kill you?"

Liu Wangde said: "I am the envoy of Jin, representing General Wushu, and I am here to bring a bright future to Marshal Zong. How could you kill me? You should thank me!"

Zongze laughed three times: "Guochao is just like you and a dog and mouse generation who eat a vegetarian meal in the corpse, so that the gold thief can take advantage of it! A certain person in my Zong only died in battle and did not surrender!"

"Well, Zongze, who doesn't know how to flatter you! General Wushu gave you a chance, you don't cherish it!"

"Come here! Push this person out, behead him, and sacrifice our military flag!"

"Yes!"

When Liu Wangde heard this, he was shocked: "Zongze! You can't kill me! I am the emissary of General Wushu!"

Li Cue suddenly stood up and walked over in three steps.

"Old man Zong! If you dare to kill me, General Wushu will not let you go!" Liu Wangde wailed like a pig.

He felt that Zong Ze was simply crazy, and he couldn't understand it at all. Now that the Song army has been beaten to almost annihilation, the great Song Dynasty is about to die, and many places have surrendered. Those who have not surrendered are eager to try. Why is Zong Ze still Dare to do this!

"Old man Zong! You can't kill me! Zong Ze! Marshal Zong! Grandpa Zong! I kneel down for you! I kowtow to you! Don't kill me, please spare me! I am a courtier of Song Dynasty, I did not vote... ..."

Liu Wangde was beheaded in the heavy rain outside, and the blood flowed into the puddle.

Thunder and lightning flashed in the sky, and the twelve heads on the wooden pole seemed to be watching the scene just now.

Soon, Liu Wangde's head was sent back to Jinying.

Liu Hao said: "Marshal, our military rations are only enough for half a month. If we don't rescue Daming City for half a month, we will be in danger! The price of grain reported by Cizhou and Xiangzhou has already reached 8 guan per shi!"

"What! How dare they!" Zong Ze was furious, as if anger was burning in his heart, "In such a dangerous situation, they still want to make money for the country!"

"Zong Shuai, now..."

The Song army ahead is gathering.

They had no armor, some even had no knives, but they were gathering.

No one dared to make noise, because the commander-in-chief of the whole army, the 68-year-old scholar, was standing in the rain wearing a coir raincoat.

He is like a sea god needle, with him, Song Jun will be tightly condensed together.

Wanyan Wushu sent troops, and Zongze's troops faced the elite cavalry of the Jin army head-on in the heavy rain.

A legion of dozens of chariots confronted Wanyan Wushu's cavalry.

The two sides killed a lot of people.

The Jin army tried to break through the Song army's formation several times, but failed.

In the evening, the Jin army retreated one after another.

Han Chang, the general of Wanyan Wushu, came back and reported: "Your Highness, forgive me for not being able to defeat the Song army, but our army beheaded thousands!"

"Zongze is so angry with me!" Wanyan Wushu was furious, "Now that there is a chance to capture the Daming Mansion, a Zongze appeared!"

If someone else appeared, that would be fine, the Jin army could quickly defeat the opponent.

However, it is not so easy to defeat the Zongze Department.
