The heavens start with letting the bullets fly

Chapter 833

Time flies, and the years pass by. The situation in the world has undergone tremendous changes. Previously, due to the continuous annihilation of Hedong Tianhu, Huaixi Wangqing, and Jiangnan La, the Western Army of the Song Dynasty, as the main force, was exhausted and seriously damaged. What is needed most is to rest and recuperate.

But the officials and civil and military officials turned a blind eye, Tong Guan, the commander of the Western Army, was also eager to make contributions, and he didn't care about the life and death of his soldiers. Therefore, after the "maritime alliance" with the Jin people, the Great Song Dynasty raised millions of troops to attack Liao in the north. Unexpectedly, hundreds of thousands The army attacked Nanjing of the Liao State twice, but was easily defeated by the Liao army. In the end, the Jin State took Nanjing.

The Song Dynasty had to pay an additional 100 million yuan per year as tax money, and handed over the annual "year-old coins" to the Jin Dynasty. In April of the fifth year of Xuanhe, the Jin Dynasty returned Yanjing and the six western states of Kyushu to the Song Dynasty; Most of the residents of Yanjing had been captured by the Jin Dynasty and sent to the Northeast as slaves. What the Song Dynasty got was only a dilapidated empty city in the "City Qiuxu, Fox Den".

Not only was it unable to provide taxes to the Song Dynasty, but it also put a heavy burden on the Song Dynasty. What's more terrible is that the weakness of the Song Dynasty also fell into the eyes of the Jin Dynasty.

Originally, the Kingdom of Jin had promised to return the three prefectures of Shuo, Wu, and Wei to the Song Dynasty first, but before it could be implemented, it was suspended due to the death of Jin Taizu. Jin Taizong was also willing to abide by the covenant when he came to the throne.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe, the main generals Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang opposed the separation of Shanxi and Song. This was not only because of the covenant, but more importantly, they looked down on Song.

But precisely at this time, Song Dynasty gave Jin an excuse to attack. The Jin army defeated Zhang Jue, the rebellious envoy of Linhai Prefecture. Zhang Jue fled to Yanshan Mansion and hid. Yu Jin Guo forced Zhang Jue to be killed and sent back his head, but the fact that the Northern Song Dynasty hid the rebel generals of the Jin Dynasty became an excuse for Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang to invade the south.

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty ordered Ban Bo Jilie and Wan Yanxie to be the Marshal of the capital, leading the Jin army to attack Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty. Due to Li Gang's tenacious resistance, the Jin army could not enter. The golden soldiers withdrew temporarily.

Da Song was temporarily safe, but the six thieves did not dare to stay in Tokyo.

Liang Shicheng ran to Yanggu, Yang Jian ran to Jiangnan, while Cai Jing and Gao Qiu followed Zhao Ji's footsteps to the south.

However, due to the large family property of these two, the journey was slow, and they were captured by the men sent by Chen Zhao on the way.

At this time, under Chen Zhao's command, he has also recruited many reckless heroes over the years, as well as many eunuchs' children, all of whom were harmed by Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others.

Seeing Liang Shicheng, Cai Jing, and Gao Qiu falling into Chen Zhao's hands, these people were all excited. .

These three traitors fell into the hands of a bunch of reckless people. Thinking of their wealth, their faces all turned pale, knowing that this time they might be in trouble.

The crowd directly took their family back to the central square of Daji Town on Pantuo Road, and Pei Xuan, the iron face, counted the crimes of Cai Jing, Cai You, Cai Zi and other party members, Gao Qiu party members, and Liang Shicheng and other eunuchs.

Put all these thieves to death Ling Chi.

Of course, Gao Qi was spared from this encounter, he was directly stabbed to death by Lin Chong with a knife.

Lin Chong wailed and paid homage to his dead wife, and from then on willingly worshiped under Chen Zhao's command.

Cai Jing and others were killed, and everyone celebrated endlessly, and Chen Zhao's prestige increased a lot.

At this time, the reckless heroes all over the north called Chen Zhao the "king of heaven" Zhu Biao, and even Lu Junyi rushed to Yanggu from the Daming Mansion, feeling that his name of "Jade Qilin" was not worthy of the same name as "Golden Phoenix", wait and see After arriving at Zhu's house, he immediately asked his confidant Yan Qing to defect to Chen Zhao.

Chen Zhao also arranged for someone to deal with Lu Junyi's wife and housekeeper Li Gu without Lu Junyi knowing.

Killing Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and other officials and thieves not only avenged the people of the world, but also gained a lot of money. All the income of these corrupt officials for decades of hard work, embezzlement and bribery belonged to Chen Zhao. Zhujiazhuang's various industrial investments The gap was finally filled.

After disposing of these officials and thieves, Xu Guanzhong said to Chen Zhaojian, "My lord, according to the news from the north, the Jin soldiers are going south to attack the Song Dynasty again!" , to become the head of the Zhu family, the chief of all trivial matters.

So now I just call him my lord. He has completely surrendered to Chen Zhao and started to make suggestions for him with his interests as the center.

"Yes, with Li Gang in the past, the Song Dynasty could barely stop the Jin soldiers, but now the imperial court first forced Li Gang to serve as the envoy of Xuanfu in Hedong and Hebei, and drove him out of the court. After Li Gang took office, the imperial court imposed restrictions on everything. Xuan Fu's apostle has an empty name and has no power to control the army, forcing Li Gang to resign and go back!"

Speaking of this, Chen Zhao couldn't help shaking his head. There are still big enemies watching from the north. It's better for you to drive away the only person who has the ability to stop the Jin soldiers.

"Without Li Gang, when the Jin soldiers come again, the Great Song Dynasty will be in danger, and this time the Tokyo Bianliang will be destroyed."

"If Da Song is united, it may not be impossible to stop Jin Bing, but if they want to be united, it may be more difficult than defeating Jin Bing."

"Since then, the world has been in chaos, and it is the time when all the heroes are rising together. My lord, why don't you go up and give a shout, and the heroes from the north will definitely follow you, and then use the two routes of Jingdong and Dong as the basis to send out troops to attack the Jin soldiers. Why worry about not succeeding?"

Chen Zhao shook his head: "Sir, the plan is good, but the timing is wrong."

"The Central Plains is now facing the crisis of the Jurchen going south. If I raise my troops again, I will be scolded by the world. If I am not careful, the tragedy of the five chaos in China will reappear in the north of the Yangtze River. This must not be done now."

The focus at this stage is to deal with the golden soldiers.

The Song Dynasty blocked the Jin soldiers, or the Jin soldiers broke through Bianliang. It would be a great disadvantage for us and others! "Xu Guanzhong thought that Chen Zhao was a kindhearted woman, so he quickly continued to persuade, "Is it possible that my lord has made up his mind to go overseas and abandon the great country of the Central Plains? "

"That's not the case." Chen Zhao smiled lightly, "I'm still young, so I'm not in a hurry at all. The people who are really worried should be the Jin people. They don't want to be caught up in the Song Dynasty, and they will only drive Bingfeng straight to Tokyo, so I plan to ..."

What Xu Guanzhong said made Xu Guanzhong admire him so much that he fell to the ground in the end.

For a period of time after that, the intelligence agency in charge of Qiao Yun continued to send news, and the situation facing the Song Dynasty became more and more serious. The Jin soldiers were divided into two groups. Taiyuan.Wanyan Zongwang of the East Road started from Baozhou, defeated the Song soldiers in Xiongzhou and Zhongshan, captured Xinle, defeated the general of the Song Dynasty in Jingxing, took the Tianwei army, and conquered Zhending.

Chen Zhao then dispatched troops and generals to prepare to attack the Jin soldiers, "If you want to fight the Jin soldiers, you can't go to Bianliang! Because you will only be involved by the gang of literary thieves. We want to fight to decide the world. I have to cut off the Jinren's back, so I plan to conquer the Daming Mansion first!"

Hearing the words, all the heroes geared up and eagerly asked for a fight.

In the past few years, Chen Zhao has been developing the economy with peace of mind. Although he has never slackened in military training, he has fought fewer battles. At most, he fought Tamna Island once. Now it is finally time for the big battle. Everyone wants to make meritorious deeds.

Chen Zhao made arrangements one by one, leaving only some soldiers and horses to guard their hometown and Tamna Island, and the rest went north to Daming Mansion, and then outflanked Jinbing's back route from north to south.
