Fifty-two Zhao Kai entered Lin'an (above)
Fifty-two Zhao Kai entered Lin'an (above)
The city gate is wide open, and the stone avenue has long been cleaned with clean water, supplemented by loess. A pair of servants dressed in colorful clothes, holding multicolored banners, stood on the side of the avenue on the open side of the city gate. And a group of brightly clad armor soldiers, surrounded by a tall car, slowly drove into the city gate. Before the high car, there was a long and half-mile axe guard of honor, and behind the high car, there were drum musicians, playing Yale. Mighty and majestic.
And after entering the city, on both sides of the royal street, there are countless people on both sides of the avenue, burning incense and kneeling, watching the brigade of chariots pass by, and then shouting "Long live", there is no end in sight.
Under the cover of the Huangluo umbrella, Zhao Kai was dressed in a rolling dragon yellow robe, with a crown on his head, sitting on the high car, welcoming the worship and cheers of the people, although his face remained calm, but his heart was full of joy and excitement.
I have been in and out of the city gate of Lin'an countless times before, and everything here is very familiar. But only this time is different, it is the first time that he has entered Lin'an as the Son of Heaven. Since then, he has been the owner of this beautiful city and the owner of this land. And after that, he will go in and out of here countless times as the Son of Heaven, to worship heaven and earth, to tour the country, or to welcome the court, to offer prisoners to the ancestral temple and so on. Thinking of this, Zhao Kai couldn't help but feel a little in a trance.
After Yang Yan defeated the Jin army in Shouchang, the Tianlin Imperial Court began to attack Jiankang. At this time in Fuzhou, Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe, according to the instructions of the Jin army, suggested to Zhao Kai that they should take advantage of the current war between the Jin army and the Tianlin Mansion court to send troops to recover Lin'an.
Zhao Kai heard this, and he also felt that it was a good opportunity, but the last defeat made Zhao Kai feel palpitations, so he didn't dare to make a decision easily, so he asked Zong Tianxuan to discuss. And Zong Tianxuan was also a little lacking in confidence, and he was hesitant about the plan proposed by the two to take advantage of the situation to march and recover Lin'an.
This can make Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe anxious. Because the two of them were sent by Yan Changzhi, they were officials here in Zhao Kai. Both of their families are still in custody, and the Jin people can expose their identities at any time, if they can't handle this matter well, wouldn't it be bad. And this time, the two of them got the promise of the Jin army that as long as Zhao Kai sent troops to take it, the Jin army would be defeated immediately, and they would give up Lin'an and the two Zhejiang regions to Zhao Kai to increase Zhao Kai's strength. Therefore, the two of them have the bottom in their hearts, this battle is undefeated, and it is clearly an opportunity to make meritorious contributions to the door, how can they easily let it go. However, Zhao Kai and Zong Tianxuan were still so hesitant, how could they not be in a hurry?
So Wang Shiyong persuaded not to move, and simply said with words: "The minister broke away from the realm of Jin and came to vote for His Majesty, precisely to assist His Majesty, expel the Tartars, revive the Great Song Dynasty, and achieve the great cause of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and die without regret." Now the Jin people and the king of the letter compete for Jiankang, Lin'an is empty, this is a good opportunity for heaven to descend to Your Majesty, if Your Majesty wants the king in the world, then immediately march, collect Lin'an, do not want, then Your Majesty to stay in the ministers available, the ministers are also ashamed to stand in the court, only ask Your Majesty to return to the forest, in order to spend his old age. ”
And Xu Bingzhe also made an impassioned gesture, and first said to Zong Tianxuan: "Mr. is always from Yi Dacai, and His Majesty treats Mr. as a countryman, and now is the time for Mr. to repay His Majesty's kindness. If you wait for King Xin to enter Jiankang, or if the Jin army defeats King Xin, it will be too late to regret it. Then he turned to Zhao Kai and said: "If Mr. Zong does not dare to go, although the minister is a scribe, he is not afraid of death, and he is willing to personally lead the army and be loyal to His Majesty." ”
Saying that, the two of them wept in pain and knelt on the ground, looking like they were in pain.
After Zhao Kai heard this, he couldn't help but be greatly moved, and hurriedly got down and helped the two of them up, saying: "The two Qings are loyal to me, and I should remember my lungs and abdomen." Then he turned to Zong Tianxuan and said, "What does Mr. Zong think?" At this time, Zhao Kai couldn't help but have some doubts in his heart, whether this Zong Tianxuan was really ambitious and talented, if Zong Tianxuan still had a prevarication, then simply let Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe preside over this march to Lin'an.
At this time, Zong Tianxuan also knew that when it came to this point, he would not allow himself to hesitate any longer, and immediately said: "What the minister said before was just a cautious statement. Since His Majesty and the two lords have said so, the minister has no excuse, so he naturally immediately arranges to send troops. ”
Zhao Kai listened to it, and then he was satisfied. And Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe were also relieved. So Zong Tianxuan then arranged to send troops, with Liu Bao leading the army to attack Quzhou, Shao Hongyuan leading the army to attack Chuzhou, and Li Quan leading the army to attack Taizhou. But I was also nervous, if I failed again this time, what face would I have to see Zhao Kai again
After the three-way march from Fujian, it was all smooth and overwhelming. However, in a few days, the three roads have frequent good news, and they have won many battles, and Liu Bao has hit Chun'an in Yanzhou, Shao Hongyuan's troops have entered the Weijiang River in Wuzhou, and Li Quan has taken Shaoxing Mansion with Jingjing, and the people and horses of the three roads are approaching Lin'an Mansion a hundred miles away.
Zong Tianxuanwan didn't expect that this time the march would be so smooth, and he couldn't help but feel a little fluttery. In this way, I still have real talent, and the last defeat was just an accident, no, it was not an accident, in fact, the last time I sent troops, didn't I win again and again? If it weren't for Liu Bao, Shao Hongyuan, and Li Quan who didn't listen to their own dispatch and only cared about fighting for merit, maybe they would have recovered Lin'an last time. And this time they marched, they were able to resolutely carry out their plan, so they were able to win in a row.
Moreover, this series of victories also gave Zong Tianxuan full confidence, and in front of Zhao Kai, he also resumed his former chat, laughter, and use of soldiers, and talked about the chic posture of the world. At the same time, Zhao Kai naturally respected Zong Tianxuan more, and Wang Shiyong and Xu Bingzhe also constantly praised Zong Tianxuan for using soldiers like a god, which Jiang Shang and Kong Yu could not reach.
However, the war has not yet ended, and everything will have to wait until Lin'an is recovered. Moreover, Tianlin Mansion was also attacking Jiankang in a hurry, so Zong Tianxuan immediately ordered the three generals to march in a hurry and must recover Lin'an before Tianlin Mansion captured Jiankang. But after the three generals received the order, the speed of the march all slowed down.
Although each road will report back, saying that after a battle, he defeated the Jin army, and each road claims to have beheaded more than 10,000 people, and how to defeat the Jin army on the good news, and how heroic he was in the battle, etc., is written in great detail. In fact, Liu Bao, Shao Hongyuan, and Li Quan all knew that along the way, they had not fought with the Jin army at all. Often, as soon as their own men and horses arrived, the Jin army did not even resist for a moment, so they abandoned the city and fled, which can really be called bloodless.
But the smoother the process, the more confused Liu Bao, Shao Hongyuan, and Li Quan became. Although they are not famous generals, they still understand the basic truth, and no matter how you look at such an action, it looks like a deliberate show of weakness and a plan to divert the enemy into depth. But sending spies to inspect everywhere and not finding any ambushes in the Jin army, it was really a little inexplicable, and I didn't understand what the Jin army had in mind.
And the more this is the case, the more panicked the three generals become, although Zong Tianxuan repeatedly urged them to march quickly and capture Lin'an, the more cautious the three generals are, looking for various reasons to prevaricate. Unless someone is sent to inquire again and again to make sure that there is no ambush, then dare to lead the army forward, and on the way to the army, if there is any trouble, immediately retreat. As a result, at the end of the day, I often can't move ten miles.
At this time, the news from the Tianlin Mansion came that Li Xianzhong successfully captured Jiankang. Zhao Kai was a little out of breath at this time, and hurriedly sent an edict to Zong Tianxuan, asking him to march quickly and recover Lin'an as soon as possible. Zong Tianxuan was also very annoyed by the speed of the three generals' march, so he personally rushed to Yanzhou to supervise the battle, and he couldn't wait to catch up with a whip.
The three generals can't drag it out any longer, although they all have the idea of protecting themselves and preserving their strength, but after all, they are still Zhao Kai's job, so they can't openly disobey Zong Tianxuan's order. Moreover, the spies also probed many times, and there was indeed no ambush of the Jin army in front of them, so they had to continue to move forward.
However, Li Quan had fought a few tough battles, and he was bolder than Liu Bao and Shao Hongyuan, and when he saw that the Jin army did not move, he simply strengthened his courage and advanced all the way to Lin'an. Sure enough, there was no Jin army blocking the way, and it went smoothly until Xiaoshan County, southeast of Lin'an Prefecture, which was less than twenty miles away from Lin'an.
In fact, at this time, the Jin army stationed in Lin'an had already been waiting impatiently, because in order to prevent Zhao Chen's Song army from taking the opportunity to seize the territory, according to Wanyan Changzhi's general order, only Zhao Kai's Song army could retreat when it reached a distance of 20 miles from the city, and if it withdrew early, it would be punished by military law. Therefore, the Jin army in Lin'an City can be said to be looking forward to it, hoping that the Song army will come soon, so that they can retreat according to the plan.
When he learned that the three men and horses of the Song army were hovering about 100 miles away from Lin'an, the Jin army stationed in Lin'an was almost crazy, and he couldn't wait to send people out of the city to greet the Song army and move faster. Now it was finally possible to wait for the Song army to come, so as soon as Li Quan's men and horses arrived in Xiaoshan, the defenders in Lin'an City immediately abandoned the city overnight and fled north.
Li Quan was in Xiaoshan County, and after learning that the Jin army had fled with the abandonment of Lintuo, he did not feel his spirits lifted, but at this time, it was getting late, and Li Quan did not dare to march rashly, so he wanted to rest for the night, and after the dawn, he would find out the real situation, and it would not be too late to enter Lin'an.
The two of them learned that Li Quanyi had marched into Xiaoshan, for fear that he would take the lead in attacking Lin'an and snatch the merit of seizing Lin'an, so they immediately led the army to Lin'an overnight and rushed to Lin'an, regardless of whether the Jin army was ambushed.
