Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

But he was unlucky and met Liu Qi.

Who is Liu Kai?

In the official history, Zhang Jun assembled a large army in Shaanxi, sniped the Jin army, and changed the overall situation of the battle. Wanyan Wushu on the center line and Wanyan Zongfu on the east line were forced to withdraw to support Shaanxi.

In the First Battle of Fuping, the Song Army's hundreds of thousands of troops were forced by the Huanqing Economic Strategy to make Zhao Zhe abandon the army and flee first, causing the Song Army to be defeated across the board.

But in this battle, Liu Qijun defeated Wushu's left wing and shot Wushu's general Han Chang blind in one eye.

In the first battle of Fuping, although he was defeated, Zhang Jun sent Liu Kai for the later support.

This is nothing, this buddy has an even more impressive record in official history.

What did he do?

He led [-] infantry and defeated the [-] troops of Jin Wushu.

That's right, apart from Yue Fei, Liu Kai was the one who taught Jin Wushu how to behave.

Moreover, Liu Qi's posthumous title is also "Wu Mu".

When it comes to ZTE's four generals, even Han Shizhong may not be able to compare with him.

Why is this dude so fierce?

He is not a growing genius like Yue Fei, but a natural genius.

As early as when he was in the Western Army, when Zhang Jun saw him for the first time, he felt that he was extraordinary.

When using troops against the Xixia people, they defeated the Xixia people many times.

When a Xixia child cries, the mother will say to the child, "Be careful Liu Dutong is here to arrest you", and the child will stop crying.

Wang Fuzhi commented in this way: Doing the best of the Southern Song Dynasty, fulfilling the ambition of Yuehou (Yue Fei), and benefiting from Han (Han Shizhong), Liu Qi, and Er Wu (Wu Jie, Wu Lin), can restore Bianjing and take over Shaanxi. ?Said: Yes.

Speaking of which, Liu Qi can be in the Western Army thanks to one person.

Who?

golf king.

When Gao Qiu made military achievements in Shaanxi, he made his achievements under the command of Liu Kai's father Liu Zhongwu.

Although Gao Qiu is a little playful, he is definitely a person with strong feelings.

Liu Zhongwu was kind to him, so he recommended Liu Kai to Song Huizong.

It was this person who was deployed by Zhang Jun on the right wing of the Song army.

Why did Kidnapper collapse?

Because it's starting to hurt.

This tactic was invented by Liu Kai and taught to Yue Fei by him.

Wanyan's study room didn't react at all.

The kidnapper horse in the front screamed and fell to the ground, gliding on the ground, attacking the Song army.

Song Jun's hands around him moved quickly.

The Golden Army cavalry behind saw the collapse in front, and immediately made a detour and changed direction to avoid the impact.

But the surrounding Liu Qijun all began to chop off the horse's legs.

Wanyan's study room didn't react at all.

Massive Kidnappers began to collapse uncontrollably.

As soon as Wanyan Xishi rushed over, his body tilted and his horse fell to the ground. Half of his body was under the pressure. Before he could get up, he was chopped on the waist by a Song soldier with an axe.

Immediately, the armor was deformed, and before he could scream, another Song army hammer hit his helmet, causing the helmet to be dented.

Wanyan's study room was killed on the spot, and his brains flowed out from his helmet.

The 3000 kidnappers on the left wing lost 2438, and the rest rushed out desperately.

The news of the defeat of the left wing reached Lou Shi Wanyan, and Lou Shi suddenly cried out: "I lost my left arm!"

The bloody battle between the two sides lasted for a day, perhaps because there were too many Song troops, and the Song army's formation could not be completely defeated.

The two sides killed you back and forth, and blood flowed like rivers.

Song Jun almost exchanged two or three people for one Jinren.

At noon, the Song army had already killed tens of thousands of people.

In the afternoon, the Song Army's army on the left, and Jingyuan Road's strategy made Xi Gong suddenly escape, which caused the collapse of the left and the collapse of the whole army.

In the Battle of Chang'an alone, more than 16 Song soldiers, including the Xiang army, died in the battle.

Corpses are strewn all over the field, looking down from a high altitude, it looks like a huge red carpet.

The Jin army was also uncomfortable. Wanyan Loushi lost [-] elites here, and Wanyan Loushi suffered from insomnia for several days and nights.

The large-scale anti-killing of the Jin army began because of the collapse of the left-wing kidnapper.

The kidnapper horse mainly attacked the Song army's formation, causing the Song army to completely lose its combat effectiveness.

But this tactic failed on the right side of the Song army.

On December [-], Zhang Jun ordered Liu Kai to support and gather the scattered people in Jingzhao Mansion.

However, Zhang Shen, envoy of Jingyan Road, Wang Si, envoy of Huanqing Road, and Wang Yi, envoy of Xihe Road, began to write impeachment memorials overnight to impeach Zhang Jun.

Shaanxi has already killed 30 people in battle. This crime is now all thrown at Zhang Jun.

It was also on December [-], after the Battle of Chang'an, that the Jin army completely stopped moving forward.

Wanyan Loushi urgently wrote a military report and sent it to Yanjing to Yanban Bo Jilie Wanyan Gao.

This eight-hundred-mile urgent battle report arrived in Yanjing on December 28.

Wan Yangao, who had never put Song Jun in his eyes at all, was so shocked that he couldn't speak for a long time after seeing the military newspaper.

In fact, before the Jin Guochaotang went south this time, they had been arguing about one issue.

what is the problem?

Should we fight on the western front with heavy troops, or should we fight on the center line with heavy troops, or should we say that we should fight on the eastern front with heavy troops?

All three can find reasons to fight.

The western front was an important military center in the Song Dynasty, and the Jin army had already found out that Zhang Jun was raising troops in Shaanxi and recruiting a large number of troops.

Some people in the court of the Kingdom of Jin believed that the Song army should not be given time to prepare for the various roads in Shaanxi, because the folk customs in Shaanxi are too tough.

If Zhang Jun was given a year, he might not know what kind of army he would form.

You know, the Western Army could not defeat the Jin Army before, because the Western Army deployed a large number of crossbowmen because of its long-term battle with Xixia, and the number of crossbowmen was as high as 70%.

However, the Jin army wore iron armor, and the lethality of crossbow arrows was limited.

Therefore, the Western Army was rubbed against the ground by the Jin Army in the first year of Jingkang. It was not that the Western Army could not fight, but that the weapons were wrong.

Jin Guo has actually done research on this point, the so-called knowing yourself and knowing the enemy is invincible.

Jin Guo is most worried about Da Song's weapon reform.

Now Zhang Jun is very powerful in Shaanxi, and the strength represented by Wanyan Loushi sent a powerful force to lead Jin Guodang to press into Shaanxi with a full blown attack on the most elite army of the Song Dynasty.

But Zong Han believed that he should go south again from the central and eastern lines. Even if Tokyo could not be captured, he could go deep into the hinterland and plunder the most prosperous area of ​​the Song Dynasty.

This is the money bank of the Song Dynasty directly.

With the money bank gone, the army would naturally be unable to fight.

Both sides hold a reason.

In the end, Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai and Crown Prince Wanyan Gao went south in an all-round way in order to balance the situation with an absolutely even ratio.

So there is the current situation.

If it is said that Lou Shi's military newspaper still made Wan Yangao hesitate, then the other military newspaper made Wan Yangao jump up directly.

He got the news that on December 21, [-] Song troops suddenly appeared in Taiyuan Mansion, and the commander was a Song general named Wu Jie.

At this time, Taiyuan is officially empty and lonely... Oh no, it is empty of troops.

Song Jun suddenly arrived at Taiyuan Mansion. If Taiyuan Mansion is lost, I'm afraid...

Chapter 132 Reversal of the Battle Situation? (first update)

How important is Taiyuan?

Just look at the terrain of Taiyuan. It is a long and narrow basin surrounded by mountains on three sides.

The Taihang Mountain, which is [-] miles across from north to south, is located in the east, Luliang Mountain stands majestically in the west, and the two mountains of Yunzhong and Xizhou embrace in the north.

The Fen River, the second largest branch of the Yellow River, flows through Taiyuan from north to south.

There is an old saying: control the mountains and rivers, occupy the shoulders of the world, control the key points of the four frontiers, and control the capitals of the five plains.

To the north of Taiyuan is Shuozhou and Yanmen Pass, and beyond there is beyond the Great Wall.

Taiyuan cannot be regarded as a strict place in the Central Plains. It is a strategic buffer town between the Central Plains and the Great Wall.

Once the nomads occupy the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Hebei will be in danger.

Hebei was a big granary before the Song Dynasty.

If nomads occupy Taiyuan, the Central Plains will be in danger.

Because the enemy can go south from Taiyuan, along the valley between Taihang Mountain and Luliang Mountain, all the way south, cross Longde Mansion, cross the Yellow River, and approach Luoyang.

This is also the route of Wanyan Zonghan's march this time.

According to Luoyang, control Guanzhong in the west, look at the Central Plains in the east, go south to Ruzhou and enter Nanyang, divide the troops out of Xuchang, enter Xiangyang, and control the Central Plains and Jingzhou.

What was Jingzhou's status in ancient times?

Yunmeng Guze, a land of fish and rice, is located in the hinterland of the plain from Yichang to Wuchang.

If this place is lost, the land of Shu and the southeast will be blocked, and half of the country will be left behind.

This is why Yue Fei's Northern Expedition first recovered Ezhou and Xiangyang.

At the beginning of the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the ancestor Taizu set up the south, and then planned the northern expedition.

During the Northern Expedition, he was blocked in Taiyuan.

Later Emperor Taizong continued to attack the Northern Han Dynasty and besieged the city for five months. The Northern Han Dynasty surrendered and recovered Taiyuan.

If Taiyuan does not accept it, Yanyun will not be able to return.

Zhao Guangyi also attacked Taiyuan first, and then devoted all his power to Yongxi's Northern Expedition to capture Yanyun, but in the first battle, he lost [-]% of the elite of the Song Dynasty, and all the famous founding generals were lost.

In the end, only three towns could be cast to resist the Liao Dynasty.

If Taiyuan is recaptured by the Song army this time, Wanyan Zonghan's way back to the north will be blocked, and he can only go to Xuchang, pass Bianjing, and go to Hebei.

The strength of the Hebei Song Army is well preserved.

And Wanyan Loushi might be blocked in Shaanxi, so he could only go down to Tongguan, follow the Yellow River to Bianliang, and then return north.

Imagine if he retreated and took this route, what kind of luxurious package would Zhao Ning use to entertain him?

Wanyan Gao fell into the most serious anxiety since the founding of the country.

If Wanyan Loushi's army is completely wiped out in Shaanxi, the Zhuhe faction in the court will immediately take advantage of the situation and rise up.

Especially the forces represented by Wanyan Zongpan.

This involves the battle for the future throne.

Wanyan Gao is the Crown Prince, which has already been appointed as the future emperor.

But he is the younger brother of Wanyan Wu Qimai (Golden Emperor) after all, and Wanyan Zongpan, the son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, covets the crown prince.

Zongwang and other powerful factions are also the main peace faction.

War has never been as simple as winning or losing.

In the final analysis, it is a political contest.

Wan Yangao immediately sent an urgent military report to Zong Han, Wu Shu and Zong Fu.

What?
