Tang Sihui was the first to react, and immediately shouted: "Your Majesty, this move must not be!" The emperor is a body of ten thousand gold, how can he personally go to Suzhou to supervise the war. Once there is a mistake, how to repeat the demolition of Emperor Taizong. ”

In the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979), Zhao Guangyi, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, personally conquered the Liao State in order to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, but was defeated by the Liao army in the Gaoliang River, and Zhao Guangyi himself was also injured by an arrow and escaped with his life in a donkey cart. This battle caused heavy casualties among the elite soldiers who had been painstakingly trained by the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty was no longer able to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun.

In the battle of the Gaoliang River, there was even a situation where Taizong escaped alone and disappeared. At this time, someone discussed the establishment of Zhao Dezhao, the son of Taizu, as the emperor. Although later, Taizong survived, the matter was stopped. But for Zhao Dezhao and Zhao Defang's brothers to die in vain, it laid the groundwork.

As soon as Tang Siwei finished speaking, Qian Duanli immediately rushed to say: "In the past, Han Gaozu drove his own expedition to Baideng and was besieged, and he relied on the Xiongnu and his relatives to get out of trouble. And I, Emperor Zhenzong of the Great Song Dynasty, is also the emperor and the emperor, so I have the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and I am still desperate by Yu Li, how can Your Majesty be in danger again? It's not feasible, it's not feasible! ”

It's good that he doesn't mention Song Zhenzong, but Zhao Tuan looks down on Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng. In the case of a good situation, he actually agreed to pay the New Year's coin to the Liao State, and since then, the precedent of the Great Song Dynasty paying the New Year's coin to the surrounding other countries has begun. Until the later Western Xia, Jin, etc. Now Qian Duanli actually used Song Zhenzong to dissuade Zhao Tuan from driving in person, Zhao Tuan's heart was very strong, and he returned a little face to Tang Si, but he was not a guest to Qian Duanli.

Zhao Tuan sneered and said, "All or nothing? That was just the words of Wang Ruoqin's shameless villain. If Emperor Zhenzong had followed Kou Zhun's words at that time, I am afraid that the sixteen states of Yanyun would have come to the meeting. Could it be that there are still people in the court today who want to be Wang Ruoqin? ”

He has already made Wang Ruoqin a shameless villain, who would dare to answer again. Qian Duanli was frightened into a cold sweat, and retreated to the side and dared to say more.

This elbow Chen Junqing said: "Your Majesty, this royal driving is a very important matter, and please think twice about it." "In fact, Chen Junqing was in favor of Zhao Tuan's personal expedition and went to Suzhou to supervise the war. First, it can boost the morale of the Song army, and perhaps it can really recover Tokyo in one go; Second, it can also show the emperor's determination to go on a northern expedition and fight against the main and faction. Suzhou is now quite far away, not a battlefield, and is well guarded. There was not much danger for Zhao Tuan to go to Suzhou to supervise the war. However, he was steady, and he still persuaded him.

Zhao Tuan waved his hand and said categorically: "Zhongqing doesn't need to say any more, I will make a decision, and there will be no change." ”

Ye Hao also came out and said: "Even if the emperor decides to drive the expedition in person, all the affairs of the court should also be arranged first." ”

Zhao Tuan nodded and said: "That's natural, this point will be discussed by the Zhongshu Province, and I will hand it over to me." ”

At this time, Yang Yizhong came out and said: "Your Majesty, the old minister is not talented, I am willing to lead the army to escort and follow the emperor to Suzhou to supervise the war." "There was a debate in the court just now, although Yang Yizhong's title is high, but because he is a military general, it is inconvenient to speak. Now seeing that Zhao Tuan has decided to drive in person, he took the initiative to ask for an escort.

Zhao Tuan looked at Yang Yizhong and said with a smile: "King Yang Jun, I went to Suzhou to supervise the war, and the capital is empty. The prince must supervise the country, and the important ministers need to sit in the town to feel at ease, and Suzhou is not a front-line battlefield, so you can stay in the capital to support the prince. ”

On the 26th of April, the governor of Suzhou. Zhang Jun, Han Yanzhi, Wang Yan, Fan Chengda and others are deliberating.

At this time, Zhang Jun was full of hesitation, and now the Song army has won consecutive battles to recover Chenzhou, and Li Xianzhong's army has been directed at Bianliang, Tokyo. Everything went very well. It seems that he can finally prove that he is not a talented person. The defeat of Fuping and the shame of the Huaixi military mutiny can finally be swept away. Once Tokyo Bianliang is recovered, it will be the first achievement of the Great Song Dynasty.

"In the future, it will definitely be recorded in the history books that I Zhang Jun is indispensable." Zhang Jun was thinking like this, and when he returned, Zhang Xiaoxiang walked in, he was ordered by Zhang Jun to order Shao Hongyuan's troops to immediately march to Xuzhou and cooperate with Li Xianzhong to attack Bianliang.

Zhang Jun and Zhang Xiaoxiang came in and asked, "An Guo, you sent an order to Shao Hongyuan, did he send troops?" ”

Zhang Xiaoxiang shook his head and said, "Lord Privy Council, Shao Hongyuan received an order from the Governor's Mansion, but he is still stationed in Fangcheng, and he has no intention of sending troops. ”

Zhang Jun was furious and said: "Urged him twice, how could Shao Hongyuan still not move, could he not disobey his orders." Anguo, you give Shao Hongyuan another order, so that he must not shirk, and must march to attack Xuzhou within three days. Turning his head to Fan Chengdao, he said: "Li Xianzhong recovered Chenzhou, and now he should be almost ready, and ordered him to attack Suizhou immediately." ”

At this time, Han Yanxiang said: "Zhang Shumi, I think it is better to postpone the attack on Suizhou." ”

Zhang Jun was stunned and puzzled; "Ziwen, why is this? Our army is now full of morale, and it is just in one go to capture Juzhou and recover Tokyo, why should we postpone entering Jiujuzhou? ”

Han Yan said straightly: "Now Shao Hongyuan is still in Fangcheng, and Li Xianzhong's flank is empty. If you rashly attack Suizhou, you may be attacked by the Jin army on the flank, and before attacking Juzhou, you should first capture Guide and get in touch with Wei Shengbu. ”

Zhang Jun listened, looked at the map carefully, and said: "It is indeed a mistake for Shao Hongyuan to still hold his troops in Nanyang, but the Governor's Mansion will give Shao Hongyuan another order, and he will not give orders again, Wei Sheng now thinks that he has arrived in Yanzhou, and it is very appropriate to take the Guide Mansion first, but I think it can be ordered to make Li Xianzhong divide his troops to attack Guide and Suizhou at the same time, and the two will not be delayed." ”

Han Yan frowned and said, "Now that Li Xianzhong is alone, I am afraid it is not appropriate to let him divide his troops to attack Guide and Suizhou." And I think the Jin army seems to have retreated too quickly, I'm afraid it's a trick for the Jin people to lure the enemy into depth! I think it's better for us to be safe, not to mention that we have recovered a lot of land now, so we should stabilize these places first. ”

Zhang Jun shook his head and said: "Ziwen, you are too careful, now it is only because Shao Hongyuan did not follow that it seems that Li Xianzhong's lone army is deep, once Li Xianzhong captures Guide, won't it be okay for Shao Hongyuan to attack Xuzhou." If the Jin army wanted to lure me deeper, then it would not have fought us in Xuzhou. ”

Wang Yan said: "Privy Secret, I also think that Lord Han's words are reasonable, and it is always not wrong to be careful." ”

Zhang Jun looked at Wang Yan and said, "The old man also knows that what you said is not wrong, but sometimes if you are too careful, you will delay the fighter!" In my opinion, the victory of our army is probably because the Jin people did not expect that Sushi Lie Zhining would be defeated so badly in Xuzhou, so the state city behind was not well prepared. It will take time for the Jin army to form a coalition of men and horses to resist, and I just want to take advantage of the fact that the Jin army can gather the next group of troops to resist our army and recover some more places, preferably Tokyo. Don't look at the fact that our army has attacked so many state cities now, but if you don't take Tokyo, these places are not in danger to defend. ”

Han Yanzhi and Wang Yan glanced at each other, in fact, what Zhang Jun said was not unreasonable. If Bianliang is not recovered, then the large areas north of the Huai River and south of Bianliang are indeed unsafe. In the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140), when Yue Fei marched into Zhuxian Town, he also recovered a large amount of land. But because Bianliang was not recovered, after Yue Fei was recalled, these lands were recaptured by the Jin army. But the two always felt that something was wrong in their hearts, but they couldn't say what was wrong with the body.

When several people were undecided, Yue Lin came in from outside again, and said to Zhang Jun with an official document: "Lord Privy Council, Lin'an has come to edict, and the emperor is coming to Suzhou to fight." ”

At this moment, several people present were stunned, and they didn't care about whether they should march anymore, but digested the amazing news: The emperor is going to march in person.

After a long while, Han Yanzhi also reacted and hurriedly said, "Shang Qing, is this true?" ”

Yue Lin handed the document in his hand to Zhang Jun and said, "Please take a look at it." ”

Xian Jun took the official document and opened it to watch, and the other people finally came back to their senses, it seems that the emperor is really going to drive the expedition in person. At this time, Zhang Junji finished reading the edict, and said with a copy of the book: "The Zhanbu immediately gave Shao Hongyuan an order, telling him that the emperor would go to Suzhou to supervise the war, and if he did not send troops within three days, he would be engaged in military law." Then he ordered Li Xianzhong to immediately divide the troops into two routes and capture Guide and Juzhou, and there must be no mistake. ”
