Views:

After Li Yanxian took the city of Shanzhou, he crossed the Yellow River by victory and set up camp in Zhongtiao Mountain. The people nearby came to join him. In order to cooperate with Xin Wang Zhao Zhen's actions, Li Yanxian immediately sent Shao Long, Shao Yun and others to attack Anyi, Yuxiang, Ruicheng, Zhengping and Xiezhou City. These cities were successively occupied by Li Yanxian.

Knowing of Li Yanxian’s record, at the time he did not know that Li Yanxian had already contacted and cooperated with the letter king Zhao Zhen, the emperor Zhao Gou, awarded Li Yanxian the governor of Shanzhou and a comfort envoy, Shengwu Jielang, Gemen Xuan praised the people, and gave him a robe, a spear and a sword. .

At this time, Li Yanxian stepped up to build the city wall, dig deep into the moat, expand his armaments, and vigorously garrison fields. He moved the whole family to Shanzhou, expressing that he would “marty the country with his family and survive with the city.” Shao Xing, leader of the Shenji Mountain Volunteer Army, led the crowd to return. Li Yanxian ordered him to guard the mountain gate, and then Shao Xing desperately resisted the gold and recovered Guozhou.

In the night, the surroundings were silent. At this time, outside of Li Yanxian's camp in Zhongtiao Mountain, there was a slight noise of the friction of the grass. At this time, groups of dark shadows came and went straight to the camp of Li Yanxian in Zhongtiao Mountain.

The person who came was not someone else, but Jin Jun. The Jin army general Halmiha led his army to sneak in and approached Li Yanxian's army cautiously.

The task of this team of golden soldiers was to sneak attack on Li Yanxian's barracks. The leader of the Golden Army, Halmihadi, is a deputy general of the Golden Army. He was ordered to come this time. It was to defeat the small army that Li Yanxian personally led and camped in Zhongtiao Mountain.

This time, Halmiha’s mission was not to wipe out the Song army. His real mission was to kill Li Yanxian. Li Yanxian is the most important general in Wanyan Lou's room. Wan Yan Lou Shi has repeatedly lost in the hands of Li Yanxian, he knows Li Yanxian's extraordinary ability.

Wanyan Lou believes that if you want to defeat Li Yanxian, you can't rely on bravery, but rely on the sharpness of firearms, and the wide range of troops to attack. You must use a large number of firearms to attack the city and use ten times more soldiers and horses to defeat him.

This time, Wanyan Lou's room obtained information that Li Yanxian personally led a team of men and horses who had just intercepted a group of golden soldiers and stationed in a secret valley in Zhongtiao Mountain.

After learning the information, Wanyan Loushi was overjoyed, and he immediately ordered Halmiha to lead his army to prepare to give Li Yanxian a fatal blow. Halmiha's mission is nothing else, it is to kill Li Yanxian, as long as he kills this person, even if he is defeated, it is considered a great achievement.

Halmiha led his army slowly approaching Li Yanxian's camp. In Li Yanxian's barracks, there were only a few lights, but no one was patrolling. It seems that Li Yanxian's army feels very safe here and there will be no enemies, so the defense is very lax.

Halmiha led his army slowly approaching Li Yanxian's camp. In Li Yanxian's barracks, there were only a few lights, but no one was patrolling. It seems that Li Yanxian's army feels very safe here and there will be no enemies, so the defense is very lax. Halmiha thought to himself.

Gradually, the Jin army had approached Li Yanxian's army. Seeing the silence in the Song army camp, Halmiha felt a little uneasy. But this operation was an unexpected long-range sneak attack, and the Song people could not grasp their whereabouts, so he felt that he was too concerned, so he ordered the soldiers to light a torch and rush to open the gate.

"Kill...!" The Jinjun generals shouted and slammed into the camp. They set a torch on the camp in the camp, and the flames burst into the sky, but there was no one in the camp.

Seeing that there were no enemies, Halmiha became even more disturbed. He shot a tent open, and there was no one inside, not even daily necessities and other things.

"Broken! Everyone withdraw!" Halmiha just yelled, when he heard the sudden flames on the high ground in the valley outside, the shouts shook the sky.

From the northeast, kill a group of people, golden helmets, golden armors, red robe and black horses. He shouted, and shouted in Jurchen's words: "Hey! The other side Jin Jiang listens, I am the Song general Gao Pang!"

A group of people from the southwest was also killed, and the first general shouted: "Golden Dog! You are fooled, die quickly!" The person here is not someone else, but Li Yanxian.

Halmiha immediately led the army out of the empty camp and broke through to the northeast first. He saw that there were relatively few torches in the northeast, indicating that there were fewer soldiers and it was safer to break through.

Just as the Jin army rushed towards the northeast Gaopo, suddenly "swish swish..." a large swath of arrows shot over, and a swath of gold soldiers were shot to the ground.

Halmiha yelled and blocked an arrow that was shot at him, and then led all the golden army to rush up. suddenly

, A rocket flew over, and suddenly the front of the gold army was surrounded by fire, and a wall of fire appeared in front of all the gold soldiers. There was only one road on the opposite side, but countless Song army guards.

The golden soldier in the flame can't care about the saltpeter, sulfur, and the wood sticks under his feet, but a scream that doesn't sound like a human voice in the fire, and is finally charred...

"Retreat! Retreat!" Kim Harmiha shouted loudly. If he hadn't retreated quickly when he found something wrong, he would have been scorched by the fire. The sound of killings, the clashing of weapons, and the screams all around became one piece, and the flames blazed the sky, dyeing the sky red.

The two sides fought in close combat and long-range shooting for about half an hour. The flames gradually diminished, but the battle became more and more intense.

At this time, Li Yanxian led the army to kill, and Li Yanxian took the lead and killed him. Li Yanxian held a big knife and wielded a brilliance. The golden general Halmiha hurriedly sent a team to stop Li Yanxian. Li Yanxian and his men were blocked by the elite gold army and could not move forward.

The golden general Halmiha personally went back to kill, and saw his mace dancing and flying, and the Song army soldiers were knocked into the air by him, and they were about to be rushed out of a bloody road.

The man who claimed to be Gao Pang shouted: "Golden Dog takes his life, surrenders and does not kill." After a roar, he rushed over from the narrow passage in the flame with his steel gun, the silver gun flashed continuously, and the stars were dotted with stars. The golden soldiers were stabbed to the ground and died.

The golden general Halmiha also rushed forward with a mace, fighting "Gao Pang". "Gao Pang" pierced with a shot, and the spin thorn stretched out to the opponent's throat. The golden general Halmihati made a mace, only feeling the heavy weight hitting his mace. He gritted his teeth and barely grasped Langyazhen, his hand cracked.

As soon as he got wrong, the golden general Halmi immediately felt a sharp pain in his ankle, but he was stabbed by the opponent's lightning bolt with lightning speed and broke his hamstring.

"Ah!" Golden General Halmiha cried out painfully, and immediately fell to the ground.

"Give it to me." The "Gao Pang" said, and several Song soldiers immediately pointed their guns at the golden general Halmiha and tied him up. In such a night, he could quickly and accurately break his hamstrings, making Golden General Halmiha feel an unbelievable magical skill. When Song Bing’s guns were placed on his body, he felt unbelievable. .

"Your Patriarch will be subjugated and surrender quickly!" "Surrender quickly! Surrender and not kill!" The Song soldiers shouted, but most of these golden soldiers are brave Jurchens, one by one, not afraid of death. Still fighting desperately, only a few non-Jurchen gold soldiers surrendered.

As golden soldiers fell one after another, the battle was finally over.

At dawn, a red sun between heaven and earth rose from the ground, wolves and gunpowder rose everywhere, and the soldiers gathered the corpses.

Li Yanxian led his army to join the army of "Gao Pang", and "Gao Pang" said to the golden general Halmiha: "Let you die today. The general's name is Gao Pang. It is a general under General Li Yanxian's account. Go back and tell Your family is unified, and sooner or later we will wave the army north to defeat you." After that, he ordered a horse to pass him and help him go up and let him leave.

The golden general Halmiha was still not convinced and glared at the opponent, but he was glared at by the cold light of the opponent, he immediately lowered his joy, "He is not an ordinary Da Song general!" Feeling a shuddering feeling, The disabled golden general Halmiha thought in his heart, and then drove away.

Li Yanxian, who rode his horse, watched the Jin Jiang drifting away, and did not feel unhappy at the other side's self-assertion. Without the other party to send a message, and support to join forces to annihilate this powerful golden soldier, he must suffer a big loss.

Li Yanxian turned his head and smiled at the young general named Gao Pang: "The general is really good at marksmanship, which one of His Royal Highness's generals has such skillful skills. But it is unheard of!" "He is not an ordinary general of Song Dynasty! "Feeling a shuddering feeling, the disabled Jin Jiang thought in his heart, and then he drove away.

Li Yanxian watched the golden general drift away, turned his head and smiled at the young general: "The general is really good at marksmanship. Who is the commander of His Royal Highness, who has such a skill. But it is unheard of!"

This army and the generals who led it came from the area occupied by the Xinwang Army. The purpose of being incognito and playing his own banner is to cover people's eyes and ears. Don't let the Jin Jun know that they are the people who believe in the King's Army, so as not to let the King's Jun and the King Jun become hostile. Cause the Jin army to change the main attack direction. In that case, the food and livestock in the area occupied by King Xinwang will be greatly lost, and thousands of people in the occupied area will be wiped out.

The young general from Xinwang Jun was about to answer, but the young general Di Pian who came down from the mountain at some time replied first: "Return to your lord, my general is the fierce general Gao Pang of my Royal Highness Xin Wang, and he is known as the world's number one gun king."

"Oh, it's General Gao. I never thought that General Gao had such a master. It's really rare!" Li Yanxian said with a look of surprise, and then said to the opposite "Gao Pang": "General Gao, look up for a long time. This time I can. Defeating the Golden Army, with the amazing martial arts of General Gao, defeating the Golden General. Come and come, come to our military account, and we will discuss together how to expand the territory and expel the Golden Army."

In Li Yanxian’s tent, Li Yanxian looked at the reported casualties, sighed and said to "Gao Pang": "General Gao, I didn’t expect that these golden soldiers are so powerful. Come and steal my camp. If you are in an ambush, you can kill more than a thousand soldiers. This anti-gold thing seems to be not as easy as you imagined.

"Gao Pang" smiled and said: "General Li needn't worry so much. I think many of these two thousand golden soldiers are Jurchens, and they are also their elites. The people of Song Dynasty have reached tens of thousands, even if the golden soldiers are powerful, as long as we are united , You can defeat the Golden Dog."

"I hope so." Li Yanxian put down the list of casualties in his hand, raised his head and ordered: "Send the whole camp, hurry up and rest, and leave this valley before dawn. If the expectation is good, this Wanyanyu will definitely not die, Jin The main soldiers will come here at dawn."

Li Yanxian looked at him when he was very young, about less than eighteen years old, but his face was covered with a beard, covering his appearance with a stern "noble".

Looking at the other's appearance, Li Yanxian thought in his heart: "This Gao Pang is not old, but he has a lot of beards. It seems that very people will naturally have very looks. He then smiled and said: "General Gao, you are young. Kungfu is so good, I wonder if your master is that expert? "Gao Pang" thought to himself: How do I know who Gao Pang's masters are? I only heard him say that there are several masters, and no one can remember them.

This fake "Gao Pang" turned his mind and immediately replied with a smile: "Hahaha, General Li praised him, there is no master underneath. This fist and kick is all done by himself. It is worse than General Li's skill. It's far."

Li Yanxian laughed and said: "The general is humble, and that Jinjun general's martial arts is also extraordinary. None of my generals can resist. And the general can easily kill each other, which shows that the general's skills are naturally amazing. People."

"General Li looks at Gao too high." The fake "Gao Pang" replied with a slight smile.

"Hehe, it's really rare for General Gao to be so humble. Okay, it's getting late. I'm afraid you are tired, General Gao. Go down and rest for a while. We must leave early tomorrow morning." Li Yanxian said with a smile.

"Okay, I'll go down first, and General Li also rest early!" the fake "Gao Pang" replied.

Most of the tents were burned down when the golden soldiers attacked, and the remaining ones were already full of people. Thousands of cavalry under the counterfeit "Gao Pang" were all crowded together, hurrying to feed their horses and rest. As soon as the fake "Gao Pang" came back, his partial general immediately ran to see the courtesy and said: "His Royal Highness, you are back, what is the situation?"

It turned out that this fake "Gao Pang" was officially disguised as Xin Wang Zhao Zhen. Secretly transferred the troops to meet Li Yanxian, and opened up the occupied areas to fight against the Jin army. This is now the main strategy of the Wang Jun.

Because of the need to leave a large number of livestock and excellent seeds for breeding and planting, Xin Wang Yijun, who was already lacking in food, was even more short of food. Therefore, now the King’s Army is in short supply and cannot start a large-scale war. Moreover, in order to avoid a direct battle with the Golden Army, the Golden Army once again launched a large-scale encirclement and suppression, causing all the crops and livestock in the fields occupied by the rebels to be destroyed or looted.

Therefore, Xin Wang Zhao Zhen personally led the army to travel a long distance and secretly came to Li Yanxian to work together. Of course, his banner is Li Yanxian's banner, and Zhao Zhen also pretends to be a lofty man for various reasons. At this time, the real Gao Pang was stepping up his training for the recruits of the Bronze Dragon Army belonging to the Imperial Guard.

"The main force of the Golden Army will come soon. We and Li Yanxian's army must retreat in the early morning. Tell everyone, hurry up and rest, and set off immediately after the rest."

The lieutenant asked: "His Royal Highness, didn't you tell General Li your identity?" Zhao Zhen shook his head and said, "He accepted Zhao Go's award, which is considered very loyal to Zhao Go. For our great cause, my identity. Don't divulge it to him.

Just after the fourth shift, Li Yanxian, who got up early, led the soldiers out and rushed to the place where they met with the main force-Hapcheon City. Because some of the horses of the Jinbing were captured, many infantrymen in Li Yanxian's army were all replaced with war horses. Of course, Li Yanxian is not bad, and even Zhao Zhen's subordinates are divided into about 100 horses.

Arriving outside Shaanchuan City, I saw snow-white tents all over the mountains and plains. This was the army that Li Yanxian and Xin Wangyi had secretly passed through.

Li Yanxian riding on the horse said with emotion: "I think I have a million sergeants of the Song Dynasty, with sophisticated weapons, but being so insulted by the gold man, causing the two sages to be ashamed. I, Li Yanxian, must expel the golden dog in this life. The shame of regaining our home.” Zhao Zhen behind him heard this and sighed in his heart: “You have the ambition to expel the Golden Soldiers, but Zhao Gou has not restored the heart of the Song Dynasty. How can he expel the Golden Dog and return me to Heshan? Let alone welcome back to the Second Saint. But as long as you can take refuge in me, I will definitely realize your wish."

Hearing that the coach returned, the generals Shao Long and Shao Yun personally greeted the camp. When the two saw that Li Yanxian was already standing at the gate of Daying, they hurriedly stepped forward and bowed and said, "The final generals Shao Long and Shao Yun, see Master Zhizhou."

Li Yanxian smiled and said: "Hurry up, please, the two generals have worked hard." As he said, he helped Shao Long and Shao Yun up.

"Thanks to the Lord Hongfu, I will not be fortunate enough in the end." Shao Long and Shao Yun said modestly.

"Haha, okay, it is rare to have merit but not be proud of yourself. However, I will remember all of your achievements, the court will remember them, and the people will remember them." Then, Li Yanxian introduced them to Wang Zhao Zhen and said: " This is General Gao Pang, who was sent by the King's Army to support us in the fight. He has a superb pistol technique and is unbeatable."

Zhao Zhen smiled and said: "I have seen two generals in Xia Gaopang." "I heard that General Gao had the first shot in the world. It really deserves its reputation." Shao Long and Shao Yun talked to Zhao Zhen, and Li Yanxian made one to ask Zhao. When Zhen entered the military tent, Zhao Zhen hurriedly said: "Don't dare, please please first." Li Yanxian nodded slightly, and walked forward with a smile. Zhao Zhen followed him with a smile on his side.

Lin'an Yangzhou, thousands of miles away, with the settlement of Liu Miao's rebellion, Han Shizhong's military camp was full of noisy. It turned out that the eunuch came to declare the decree, and the emperor himself was going to visit the barracks that rescued his own army.

After fled to Zhenjiang, Baiguan arrived one after another, and then fled to Hangzhou in a hurry. Huang Qianshan and Wang Boyan were notorious for surrendering, and the ruling and opposition parties were indignant. Gaozong was forced to dismiss Wang and Huang, and appointed Zhu Shengfei as the prime minister, and Wang Yuan was the privy council member and the ruler of the capital. General Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan had long-standing grudges with Wang Yuan and were dissatisfied with Wang Yuan's promotion. They also heard that Wang Yuan had contact with the prestigious eunuch Kang Li, thinking that Wang Yuan's promotion was the result of colluding with the eunuch. Out of resentment towards Wang Yuan and the eunuchs, the two of them launched a mutiny in Hangzhou in the name of "killing for the people" in March, killing Wang Yuan, Kang Lu and many eunuchs, and forcing Gaozong to give way to the three-year-old emperor. Prince Zhao Yang, let Longyou Queen Mother Meng clan (ie after Zhezong abolished) sit down and listen to politics. This is the "Miao Liu Change".

Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan launched the mutiny out of private grievances against Wang Yuan and Kang Lu. However, their post after the mutiny revealed that "treacherous ministers misunderstood the country, and the internal servants have the right to play tricks on the inside." "Sudden death for sin", accusing "the ministers and other ministers, not working to repair the province, and following the old way", Song Gaozong "trusted middle officials, rewarding and punishing unfairly", etc., really reflected the true situation of political corruption in the Southern Song Dynasty, telling the truth at that time The soldiers and civilians opposed fleeing and surrendering, and demanded to rise up against the gold.

Since Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan, the organizers of the mutiny, had no clear political views and strategies, they did not receive broad support among the civil servants and generals in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lv Yihao and Zhang Jun, who opposed the mutiny, led their troops to press against Hangzhou. Generals such as Han Shizhong and Zhang Jun, who were loyal to Zhao Gou, launched the army Wei Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan under the command of Lv Yihao and Zhang Jun to force Miao, The two Liu agreed to reset Zhao Gou, the mutiny aborted, and Miao and Liu were killed.

During this time, Zhao Gou can be said to be the most scared time, because if he will go to the throne that he has finally won. For him, losing the throne is simply unbearable. For the throne, he can give up half of the country! For the throne, he can abandon all his relatives, siblings, parents and the whole family! For the throne, he can also sell all the ancestors of the Song Dynasty! You can even be a kowtow! Begging for mercy!

It was because of the nostalgia for the throne that Zhao Gou, after regaining the throne, almost took his throne first, and Miao Fu and Liu Zhengyan who had promised not to kill them were killed. Therefore, he is still grateful for the soldiers who saved him.
