Chapter 917: Huizong's comeback
Yan Yanlu must be a meat bun and a dog can't come back, but the other five roads of hell are vast, including big cities like Chang'an, which is naturally the best in their own hands, as a court, face is still needed, Chang'an is the core and symbol of Guanzhong, and it cannot be lost. He Su nodded and said: "Listening to Cai Suitian's tone, King Yun should not be in a hurry to occupy Guanzhong, this time I am afraid that what is being fought for is a part of the city and rich areas, just like Yang Zhi said, build high walls and accumulate grain." ”
Song Huizong smiled, and the last sentence said that the king didn't say anything, the third child still understood the reason, presumably if he didn't reset, the Dingbei Army would still capture one or two roads of territory in Shaanxi. Song Huizong smiled and asked, "How is the situation of Lao Jiu and the others?"
He Su bowed down and said: "Wang Boyan, Huang Qianshan, Liu Guanglie, Yang Weizhong, Liu Guangshi, Liang Yangzu, and the Sixth Route Army have gathered in Dongping Mansion and obeyed King Kang's dispatch; Fan Ne and Xiang Zijun had already sent troops to Bianliang, but the two sides had not yet started a war; Zhu Shengfei of Jinling Prefecture and Wang Xiang of Xiangyang Prefecture did not express their position, and Qian Gai of Shaanxi Province replaced Fan Zhixu with Tang Zhong to take charge of Yongxing Road. ”
After more than ten days of tossing, Zhang Bangchang's performance finally entered the eyes of Wanyan Zongfu, and learned that the Jin army in Guanzhong had withdrawn from Tongguan and responded from Yingchang Mansion, Wanyan Zongfu issued an order to retreat, and the Jin army retreated in two ways, one was Wanyan Zongfu imprisoned the prince, the emperor's grandson, the concubine, the princess, the concubine, etc., and forcibly captured the people who transported the supplies, a total of 100,000 men and women went north along Huazhou, and the other route was Wanyan Yan's mother, including Qinzong, Empress Zhu, Prince Zhao Chen, the clan and Sun Fu, Zhang Shuye, Qin Hui and others traveled north along Zhengzhou, including 14,000 people such as music workers and craftsmen from the teaching workshop, who returned north with literature, maps, treasures, and artifacts.
Just when the last Jin soldier crossed the Yellow River to the north, Wang Yuan, the commander of the Xuanfu Division of the Northern Song Dynasty, led 3,000 cavalry to arrive outside Kaifeng City at the first time.
Wang Yuan sat on his war horse full of sorrow, he didn't know what the fate of the Great Song Dynasty would be, the Northern Dao Xuanfu Division had already retreated to Lianghuai south of Bianliang, and the generalissimo Kang Wang Zhao Gou's men and horses were neither in Henan nor Hebei, but retreated to Jezhou, Shandong, and now I am afraid that it can only depend on the attitude of the Emperor of Runzhou.
The undercurrent in Runzhou was surging, and finally waited for the news of the retreat of the Jin army, and sent people to confirm with Zhu Shengfei that the Jin army had all returned to the north of the Yellow River except for the unit in Yingchang Mansion; Song Huizong knew that Zhao Kai and the others had guessed correctly again, and immediately ordered Guo Zhongxun to seal the city, and directly found Zhao Ye, Yan Qi, Guo Zhongxun, Du Wanche, He Su, and some officials in Runzhou to discuss.
Runzhou's army is in the hands of Guo Zhongxun, Guo Zhongxun's obedience to Gao Yu's order is just an illusion, as soon as the holy decree of Song Huizong arrived, Guo Zhongxun immediately mobilized people and horses to seal the city, and ran to the palace to face the saint. The ministers were all surprised in their hearts, the Emperor Taishang was still prepared, and Song Huizong asked straight to the point: "The country is in such difficulty, Zhang Bangchang dares to claim the title of Great Chu, I want to restore the throne, what do you think?"
Everyone was prepared in their hearts, and they didn't care about Zhao Gou in Shandong, and they were just worried that the Jin people would suddenly let go of Song Qinzong and Zhao Huan, or that they heard that Song Huizong had come back to fight in the south of the Yangtze River; now that Zhang Bangchang was proclaimed emperor, Song Qinzong was caught, and the Jin army had withdrawn, everything became an obstacle. Even if Song Qinzong came back after a while, he could reprimand this guy on the spot for misleading the country, trusting the traitor, and disgrace the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhao Ye knew what Zhao Kai meant, and immediately stood up and said: "Emperor Taishang, just like this, Jiangshan Sheji is far more important than anyone else, besides, King Jing is in Runzhou, King Kang is in Jeju, and King Yun is in Taiyuan. ”
As soon as Zhao Ye mentioned King Yun, He Su and other people who knew the inside story naturally understood that King Yun was betting that Song Qinzong would have this fate; as long as Song Huizong was reinstated, no one would dare to accuse the Dingbei Army of being illegal, and according to Zhao Kai's deployment, I am afraid that not only Hedong, but also Shaanxi Sixth Road would not know how many people had secretly thrown themselves under Zhao Kai's command. When the others heard Song Huizong say that Cai Suitian had sent a letter to Runzhou a few days ago, they all shook their heads, the Dingbei Army was very strong at retreating, and it was possible to do its homework to this point in advance, no wonder Song Huizong was so confident.
The scene suddenly became excited, there was no one who disapproved, Song Huizong made a comeback in Runzhou, these people are the close ministers of the Son of Heaven, they have the merit of the dragon, and those who do not approve are not fools. Du Wanche and He Su smiled relatively bitterly, they came to Runzhou to cry a lot, and there was no one who really suggested that Song Huizong make a comeback, but Zhao Kai sent Cai Suitian thousands of miles away.
Song Huizong smiled, he didn't mind this, seeing that the atmosphere of the scene was almost over, he ordered: "Tomorrow, I will spread the word to the world, I will officially restore the throne, and Zhao Kai will stay in Taiyuan and restore the title of King Yun; Bian Liang was passed on, and everyone except Zhang Bangchang was amnesty. ”
After all, Song Huizong had been in power for decades, and he knew that the more it dragged on, the more areas in Guanzhong would be broken down by Zhao Kai, which would be more detrimental to the governance of the imperial court in the future, and Zhao Gou would become more and more emboldened as his subordinates followed more and more. In the battle for the imperial throne, it is common for fathers and sons to fight for brothers and walls, and only by cutting through the chaos with a quick knife can the situation be calmed down at the lowest cost.
Song Huizong did not plan to return to Bianliang, and even Nanjing Yingtianfu was not ready to go, so Song Huizong simply restored the title of King Zhao Kaiyun and appointed Zhao Kai as the Taiyuan guard; appointed Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, as the governor of Tokyo, and Wang Xiang, the prefect of Henan Prefecture, as the Luoyang guard, and summoned Li Gang, Zhu Shengfei, Fan Zhixu, and Yao Gu to come to Runzhou to discuss major matters. Zhi Keqiu, who had already wandered in Runzhou, was appointed as the governor of the southern province and went to Yingtianfu to clean up the mess; Guo Zhongxun was the former deputy commander of the palace, and Xin Yongzong and Hu Hongxiu were the commanders of the imperial camp.
When Wanyan Gao retreated from Guanzhong, the troops were divided into two routes, one was Wanyan Xiya's lead a detour through Tangzhou, Yingzhou, and Ruzhou, wanting to strike a blow at the forces stretched by the Dingbei Army; the other way, led by Wanyan Gao himself, directly crossed the Yellow River, and attacked all the way along the way, Huai, Wei, and Mengzhuzhou, so as to achieve the goal of Wanyan Gao bringing the people of Luoyang, Xiangyang, Yingchang, Ru, Zheng, Jun, Fang, Tang, Deng, Chen, and Cai to Hebei.
