Changfeng Thousands of Miles End Han Song

Chapter 547

Lu Qian always had a slight dislike for Guan Sheng.Because the color of the second brother Guan on him is too strong, giving people a feeling that he is enriched by the shadow of his ancestors, otherwise how could he be able to overwhelm the veteran Lin Chong and rank fifth in Shuibo Village?
Not to mention, this person rejected Lu Qian's solicitation many times.Lu Qian was curious before - this guy is so stubborn, and he 'praises' himself so high, why would he be so embarrassed when we meet in the future?
However, Guan Sheng is a human being after all, and it's nothing more than dying in the battlefield. It's admirable that he died in such a way.

In the end, when he came out like this, he was completely labeled as a loyal minister of Zhao Song.

Then he cheated Liu Yu a lot and gave him the name Erwuzi.Lu Qian himself intended to let him take care of the Kaifeng government affairs temporarily, but now he didn't mention it.Just call people back to Yidu.

It would be better for Liu Yu to be silent for a while.

This incident caused Liu Yu not only to die as a capable brother, but also to suffer a lot of setbacks in his official career and reputation, making it difficult for him to come.It can be said that Liu Yu's family hated Guan Sheng!
However, Guan Sheng's death was not rewarded by the Zhao Song Dynasty to which he was loyal.

Jiangling didn't react at all. He didn't seem to know that Tokyo City had been breached. Liu Yu and Li Yi all surrendered. Some of the high-level officials in Yiying fled and some surrendered. Only Pu Dongguan Sheng was the only one who truly died.

There is no posthumous title, and there is no meritorious service.

The reason for this is obvious, is it because of what Guan Dadao said before he died, that Jiangling City chose to sink.

How can we evaluate it?What can they do, they are also desperate.

If you praise him, you are indirectly agreeing with what he said.Agree that today's official family is a faint king, and the important ministers of the current dynasty are slavish and slavish sycophants with no virtue and talent. Do you still want to live?

The big men in the court would not lick their lips for a warrior. Guan Yu was just a trick used by the ruler, not a real ghost.

Think about the monument to the Yuanyou Party members. The murders committed by their "own people" are unforgettable. How many senior officials and ministers died miserably? How can they care about a mere warrior?
When Zhao Ji heard about Guan Sheng's deeds, he felt no grief at all.On the contrary, I just wish I hadn't killed him with a decree earlier.He hated Guan Yu even more, and hated himself for being so generous that he went all the way from being a prince to a prince, and from a prince to a king.But it was Guan Sheng who thought of Guan Yu!

After hearing the movement of Jiangling, the people of Liangshan Army were very disappointed.Qin Ming, Xu Ning, Suo Chao, Hua Rong, Xuan Zan, Huang Xin and other old generals of the Song Dynasty who were in the army all felt that Guan Sheng was not worth it.

The court of Zhao Song is nothing.

Wu Yong of the Xuanzheng Department heard about Guan Sheng's deeds, but if he saw a gem in the deep mountains, his eyes lit up!

Is there anything that can make the Song army more depressed and the Song family more distracted than what happened before and after Guan Sheng's life?

I don't know that the Western Army outside Jinling City, after hearing about Guan Sheng's deeds, each of them still has a bit of desperate loyalty...

Lu Qian soon received a letter from Wu Yong. It is undeniable that Wu Yong, who is clever and clever, is really not bad.Accompanied by the dissemination of the intelligence department, this propaganda is like a heavy blow to Zhao Song.

By this time, Lu Qian no longer felt sorry for Guan Sheng's death.This Guan Sheng is dead, but it will bring Lu Qian more benefits than surrendering to Liangshan Army alive.

Unexpected!
In Luoyang City, Zhao Song's banner was also thrown down the city, and a large number of Liangshan troops were rushing in.

Unexpectedly, Zhai Xing, the governor of Xijing, surrendered without a fight and surrendered to the Liangshan Army, so that the gate of Luoyang was opened wide.Zhang Kui, the deputy left behind, was so shocked that he couldn't leave, so he had to lead his soldiers to the palace to close the door.In the desperate situation, his own soldiers rebelled, captured him, and bound him to the Liangshan Army.

However, King Su Zhao Shu fled into Guanzhong early. Because the Liangshan Army was rushing to the capital, Zhang Cui moved Zhao Shu from Luoyang Imperial City to Shangyang Palace outside Yihui Gate in the west of the city.Once there was a change in Luoyang City, Zhao Shu was immediately put on a horse by his bodyguards and went straight to Guozhou.

Guozhou is a spiritual treasure for future generations, and it is separated from Heluo by Sanmenxia.Going west from Guozhou to Huazhou, Shi Jin's hometown will pass through Tongguan, and the Yellow River not far away is Fenglingdu.

At this time, Shi Dalang led Yang Chun and Chen Bing here to confront the Song Army on the south bank of the Yellow River across the river.In addition, Hao Siwen also led troops to Chen in Puzhou City, where Pujin Bridge is located five miles west of the city and to the north.

As early as the Warring States Period, King Zhaoxiang of Qin built the "Heqiao" in Pujin in the 50th year (257 BC). Later, in the Western Wei, Sui, and Tang Dynasties, all boats were connected here as floating beams, and they were still named "Heqiao".In the Tang Dynasty, it was called Pujin Bridge. There are three Tianhe Bridges in "Liu Dian of Tang Dynasty", this is one of them.

During the heyday of Tang Dynasty, Tang Xuanzong was in power.Pujin Bridge is a transportation hub from the capital Chang'an to the east of the Yellow River. Salt and iron from the east of the river are indispensable supplies for Chang'an. The role of Pujin Bridge has become more and more important, and even Puzhou City has followed Light has become one of the six great cities in the country.If so, Tang Xuanzong ordered to convert the bamboo cable pontoon bridge into an iron cable pontoon bridge.

According to records, the total amount of iron used by Pujin Bridge accounted for nearly four-fifths of the country's annual output at that time.The famous Yellow River Tieniu is here.

It's just that "Hedong in 30 years and Hexi in 30 years", the world has changed, and the ups and downs are impermanent.After the Tang Dynasty, as China's political and cultural center moved eastward, the political center was always in the east, and the city of Chang'an gradually declined.The Pujin Bridge, which has lost its status as an important traffic route, is also becoming colder and colder day by day, but at this moment, this Pujin Bridge is after all the main road connecting the East and Guanzhong.Geographic location is important!
Lu Qian couldn't bear the destruction of Tiancheng Bridge, so how could he bear the destruction of Pujin Bridge?Repairing a chain bridge is a lot of work.

After Song Jun on the opposite side learned what Liang Shanjun meant, he didn't dare to destroy the bridge easily, so as not to anger the opposite side.

The battle of Gyeonggi was even smoother than the battle of Hebei.Perhaps the relocation of the Song Dynasty has already caused the soldiers, officials and people here to lose confidence. In short, the Liangshan Army is almost marching, sweeping Kaifeng, Yingtian, Heluo, Zhengzhou, Huazhou, Yingchang, and Ruzhou. , Chenzhou, Yingzhou and other places.

Li Gang's father, Li Kui, the pacification envoy on the southwestern route of Beijing, retreated to Nanyang.

Among the series of demotions and prisoners of the Liangshan Army, except for Zhao Ding and Lu Qian who were deeply impressed, everyone else was just doing ordinary things.

And if the latter hadn't been careless, he would have already escaped from the city.

This person did not cause much trouble or loss to Liang Shanjun, but he made Zhou Chunlai lose a man.The latter has been appointed as the military envoy of Shouzhou.The Huainan War brought together soldiers and horse envoys from many places in one place, and the vacant positions could only be filled by second- and third-rate figures.

There is no doubt that Zhou Chunlai is such a person.The martial arts are ordinary, but the victory lies in the rich experience.

But in the hands of Zhao Ding, the experienced Zhou Chunlai fell.If it wasn't for Zhao An, the deputy envoy of soldiers and horses, he would have been captured.

When Zhao Ding heard about the rising of the war, he knew that Yingzhou must not be protected.If so, sending soldiers and horses to resist at the border first is naturally not enough for Shouzhou's soldiers and horses, so they pretended to be depressed and closed the city to defend.

After Zhou Chunlai heard the news, he was in a good mood, thinking that this battle would be nothing to worry about.Going forward again, I met the reward army of a big family in Yingzhou, and was carelessly met by Zhao Ding.Because these people were sent by Zhao Ding, pretending to be big local families to reward the army.

After a hearty meal, more than half of the 2000 former soldiers turned into soft-legged shrimps.Zhao Ding took advantage of the opportunity to attack and rushed over. If Zhao An, the deputy envoy of Shouzhou soldiers and horses, hadn't led the follow-up troops quickly, Zhou Chunlai might have been in trouble.

But even that is embarrassing enough.Zhou Chunlai is Zhou Daming's younger brother, not relative, but because of the same surname, a close relationship, and they were both members of Lu Qian's personal guard back then, so he recognized his brother.The latter is also very ordinary in martial arts, but he is one of Lu Qian's confidantes.The latter and Tang Wu were old people who had been by Lu Qian's side since they were in Shuibo.

When the plan failed, Zhao Ding ran away.He is not a pedantic person. Seeing that the momentum is not good, if he sticks to the state city, won't he just sit and wait for death?But what Zhao Ding didn't expect was that the local tyrants in Yingzhou would be so bold.Before the Liangshan army arrived, they rebelled first, so that people were trapped in the state government office, and were caught by the Shouzhou soldiers who arrived later.

The fact is that in just half a month, the Liangshan army not only captured Tokyo and Xijing one after another, but also seized most of the land in the central plains north of Zhoukou in later generations. , Jiangling will be miserable.

If so, Liang Fangping was quickly summoned back to aid, and the South Jing South Road was taught to Liu Zhongwu's department.

This is a risky move.Liu Zhongwu's troops have only just established an army, how can they resist the bandits in Dongting Lake?But compared to Zhong Xiang and Wang Qing, the Liangshan Army in the north is undoubtedly more important.

Chenzhou, Yingzhou, and Yingchang were all lost, and the Liangshan army could attack Xiangyang from two directions.

One is to go southward in a straight line, almost in a straight line from Yancheng to Xinyang, but the route is not open and open, there are mountains and streams blocking each other, and then you need to break through Xinyang, enter Wuyang Pass [Wusheng Pass], etc., break through three passes, Can kill Anlu Xiaogan, and then threaten Jiangling westward.It's just that there are still many mountains and rivers between it and Jiangling.Not the best place to get ahead.

This is not the hereafter.There is a difference of 900 years, and the geographical situation is also very different.

The second is to go to Nanyang.This is also the most important channel.The Nanxiang Basin has been an important route connecting Jingxiang and the hinterland of the Central Plains since ancient times.But Nanyang is not easy to fight, and Xiangyang will be even more difficult to defeat later.The iron-clad Xiangyang is no joke!
The latter is located at the southernmost end of Jingxian Road, at the northern foot of the Xianshan Mountains, and on the south bank of the Han River. Starting from Xiangyang City, you can go down the Han River directly to the Yangtze River. Its geographical location is particularly important.

The Qinling-Huai River dividing line is not only the dividing line between the north and the south of China, but also constitutes a natural barrier against the aggression of the northern regime.The Yellow River freezes in winter, and the army can use it to cross the south of the Yellow River to attack. However, the Huaihe River is the highest latitude river in China that is not frozen, so it can naturally stop the northern army that is not good at sailing.

In the official history of the Song-Jin War, although the Jin army was overwhelming in the early stages, it stopped when it advanced to the Qinling-Huaihe River line.

However, it can be seen from the map that the Qinling Mountains and the Huaihe River are not connected together. There is a gap in the middle, and Xiangyang is located on this gap. Therefore, in ancient China, it was always the strategic center.

Just from a military point of view, it is just at the crossroads at the southern end of the Nanxiang Basin, where the north-south connection must pass through; the east-west connection must also pass through here.All the roads in the surrounding area converge here and cannot be bypassed.As long as this port is blocked, the entire traffic line will be under your control.Xiangyang was like a mouthful of thick phlegm choking in the opponent's throat, making him so depressed that he vomited blood.

Therefore, it has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times.Its importance is well known.

Of course, the current moat of Xiangyang City is not as wide as that of later generations.It must be known that the moat of Xiangyang in later generations has a width of 180 meters, and the widest part is half a mile long, which is really amazing.That is simply a big river.

Today Xiangyang City is nine li and three hundred paces in circumference, which is considered ordinary in the state city, and the moat is only ten feet long, more because it is adjacent to the Han River in the north.What varies.However, such a city does not mean that it is easy to win.
