Chapter 62 Is Betraying the Country Really To Save The Country?

An error occurred while processing s private files

Fei was surrounded by the Jin army? Li Hu and everyone looked at each other. Did the Hebei war begin? Why did Yue Fei act in advance?

"Yue Fei was surrounded by the Jin army in the northwest of Anxi City, Zhongshan." Yuanye handed Liu's letter to Li Hu, and moved the table to the map and pointed to Dingzhou on the map. "Look, it's here, around Jiashan and Longquan Town. The terrain here is very complex. The mountains are high in the west, the Tang River is Tang River to the north, the Changxing River to the south, and the Tang River to the east is the intersection of Tang River and Changxing River. It is a dead land."

Li Hu took a look at the map. Jiashan was located right between the three cities of Quyang and Anxi. It is estimated that Yue Fei was unfortunately surrounded by the Jin army when he attacked Anxi City. He had no choice but to retreat to Jiashan and stand firm and wait for assistance.

After reading the letter, Li Hu had no expression on his face, but his eyes were sharp, and there was a murderous aura. He handed the letter to Dong Xiaochou, leaned over and looked at the map, pondering and silent.

Dong Xiaochou, Tong Guan and others circulated one by one.

When Li Gang and Zhong Shidao were still arguing with the central ministers such as the young emperor and prime minister Xu Churen, the young emperor had decided to implement the five-way offensive strategy and issued an order to the commanders of the Hebei front line army, requiring them to launch an attack on the first day of May. In order to ensure that they can win, the young emperor adopted the suggestions of Xu Churen, Wu Min and others, and ordered Yue Fei to attack Zhongshan Anxi. Yue Fei had the most troops, closest to Anxi City, and his attack would attract the main force of the Jin army to Zhongshan, which was beneficial to Zhongshizhong, Yao Gu, Zhan Du, and Chen to recover Hejian Prefecture and its surrounding areas.

Yue Fei was ordered to attack, and Zhending Liu followed suit. The Jin army seemed to be ready. The main army suddenly broke out and surrounded Yue Fei in Jiashan overnight. Liu had only more than 10,000 people in his hands and was unable to rescue him. He hurriedly retreated to Zhending City. Zhong Shizhong, Yao Gu and Zhan Du, and Chen were targeting Hejian Mansion. Although they were only two or three hundred miles away from Zhongshan, they did not dare to rescue him without the orders of Bian Jing. In desperation, Liu had to rescue Taiyuan 100,000.

"It's outrageous." Mao Jun, the last one, after reading the letter, immediately lost his temper, "What does Bianjing mean? Use us as bait, right? Could it be that if Yue Fei's entire army is wiped out, they can recover Zhongshan and Hejian?"

"The meaning of Bianjing is of course to weaken the strength of the Tiger and Lieutenant Army as much as possible when the results are achieved." Chai Yun continued Mao's local words, "Yue Fei's limelight in Hebei is too strong. In less than two months, he fought more than 100 battles. Although he won less than a hundred battles, he played the bloody nature of the Song people and won the hearts of the people of Hebei. The scale of his army suddenly expanded. Compared with the shameless behavior of cede land and paying compensation for the official army at Bianjing, the record of Yue Fei and the Tiger and Lieutenant Army was equivalent to slapping Bianjing hard, which made them very embarrassed. Bianjing attacked Yue Fei at this time, one was to vent his anger, and the other was to drive the Tiger and Lieutenant Army out of Hebei." He looked at Li Hu and sneered, "General General, this is also a warning to you. Use the lives of Yue Fei and the lives of more than 100,000 soldiers to warn you not to threaten Bianjing."

Li Hu sneered and said in a very calm tone: "As expected, it was not worth getting angry. But... why did the Jin army react so quickly? Yue Fei had just arrived in Anxi and was surrounded by the Jin army. Don't you think there was a problem here? Yue Fei had more than 100,000 people, and although most of them were Hebei rebels, there were only more than 20,000 people in the real battle. The Jin army definitely didn't know this situation. When they saw Yue Fei attacking in a large scale, they must mobilize 200,000 troops to implement the siege.

It takes time to mobilize so many troops. But look at Liu's statement in the letter. Yue Fei was surrounded on the third day of Anxidi. In other words, the Jin army had already been deployed and had already dug up the trap."

"The General Commander means that the Jin army knows the strategy of attacking Bianjing?" Yuan Ye looked shocked. "Someone in Bianjing secretly communicates with the Jin Kingdom. Betrays the Song Dynasty?"

"Do you still remember the failed attack on the Jin camp at night?" Li Hu looked at everyone here, frowned, and looked very serious. "Yao Pingzhong's inference makes a lot of sense. It can be said with certainty that someone treasons the country in Bianjing. And he is a very high-ranking person. It may be in the center, or very close to the center."

Dong Xiaochou and others were disgraced. Is it impossible? People who can enter the center of the Song Dynasty or are very close to the center are all prominent figures with status and even family background. Which of these people is short of money? Which one has no future? What reason is there to stolen the country? Yao Pingzhong said that his plan to attack the Jin camp was leaked. Some people in Huai Bianjing traitors were not taken seriously. It was Yao Pingzhong's words of venting anger. Now look at Yue Fei. More than 100,000 people were surrounded by the Jin army within three days after the attack began. From this, we can infer that Yao Pingzhong's words were not completely unreasonable. However, if someone in Bianjing traitors and still mastered the secrets of the Song Dynasty traitors, how can we fight the Hebei War?

"Tong Shuai. What do you think about this?" Huang She asked immediately when she saw Tong Guan's disapproval.

"The power struggle is not only bloody, but also very dark. Some shameless and despicable methods are not as you can imagine." Tong Guan looked at the local people in the room, and there was a trace of disdain in his eyes. It was true that the local people in the room were just children.

Shu has been with Cai Jing for more than 20 years and has fought with Cai Jing for more than 20 years. With his experience alone, Tong Guan is the best in the world. Cai Jing cannot beat him, let alone other people.

"The Song Dynasty has its inevitability to reach this point today, but it is far from the point where the country's destiny is overturned. If the Song Dynasty's destiny suddenly collapses, the decision to abdicate can be said to be the biggest mistake." Tong Guan sighed, and the sorrow and loneliness in his eyes made people tremble. "Since the establishment of the official family, the dispute over the imperial unity began. The dispute over the imperial unity directly led to the intensification of the power struggle in Bianjing. At this critical moment today, the internal Zen of the official family directly led to the fierce power struggle in Bianjing."

"The little emperor spared no effort to eliminate dissidents in Bianjing. The court was in turmoil and the centers were replaced one after another. The emperor and ministers were struggling in this bloody and terrifying environment. Can they still handle state affairs normally? The Supreme Emperor avoided disasters in the southeast, which first hit the hearts of the people, severely damaged morale, and chaotic the court. In this case, he also planned to build another court in the southeast, which caused Bianjing and the local government to be at a loss. The officials in the capital and the local government were even more frightened and unwilling to do political affairs."

"Now the Supreme Emperor has returned to the capital, but the conflict between the Supreme Emperor and the Little Emperor has been made public. In addition, when the Jin army invaded, the Lord surrendered and ceded land and paid compensation, which caused the prestige of the young emperor and the court to be severely hit, which directly led to the sudden weakening of the ability of the capital to control the area."

"In the Song Dynasty, the Bianjing court directly controlled the three major powers of military, political and financial powers in the local area, and the four departments of the General Secretary, Caosi, Xiansi and Cangsi were decentralized. This system requires a strong center and a very controllable court. If the emperor lacks prestige, if the center and the court are in turmoil, then the local area will inevitably fall into chaos. The officials of the four departments of the local area must listen to the emperor and the court, but the emperor and the court themselves cannot handle their own affairs, so how can they control and restrain the place? If this chaos continues and deteriorates sharply, the consequences will be self-evident. In other words, when the Bianjing is in chaos, the emperor and the center lose their role, then the local area is a mess, and the four departments are in charge, with no resistance at all. When foreign enemies invade, they will collapse at once and are vulnerable. Why can the Jin army fight from Yanjing to Bianjing? This is the reason."

"The Supreme Emperor and the Little Emperor know about the things I said, and the ministers of Bian Jing also know that they all want to solve this problem. They all want to stabilize the center and the court as quickly as possible, rebuild the prestige of the emperor and the court, and then quickly enhance the control of Bian Jing over the local area, and quickly improve the chaos in the Song Dynasty. However, now there are northern enemies invasions outside, and the rebellion in Hedong and Shandong is still continuing. The emperor and the court have been put on the fire, and everyone is so anxious that their eyes are red. There are priorities. At this time, for the emperor and the ministers of the central government, the most difficult problem is to prioritize which one can save the country's fortune? Should we solve the invasion of foreign enemies first or the internal power struggle first?"

"This choice is very difficult for the young emperor and the central ministers. If the wrong choice is, it may be doomed. Therefore, Bianjing has two voices of war, and the two factions have a very fierce struggle. At this time, the mother said that the mother was right, and the mother said that the mother was right. Both factions believed that their strategies were the only correct way to save the Song Dynasty, so the struggle became bloody and cruel. The situation was critical and time was tight. At this moment, either the war or the harmony was right. There was no chance or time to come again if you did something wrong. Therefore, the two factions were incompatible and they had the power to make decisions at all costs."

"The news from Bianjing can prove that the main war faction had the upper hand. The little emperor and the central government chose the main war and chose to defeat the Beilu invasion first, which would defend the country's destiny. However, the main war faction would never give up. The only way for them to seize decision-making power was to extend the battlefield to Hebei. If the Hebei War failed, the young emperor would definitely change his course and turn to the main peace. While ceding land to pay compensation for peace in the Jin Dynasty, the central government and the court were stabilized, and the domestic situation was stabilized."

Tong Guan stopped, looked at his eyes, and suddenly felt a deep sadness in his heart. As for the current situation, it is difficult for Bianjing to quickly turn around the situation, whether it is the main battle or the main peace. The Song Dynasty has accumulated a lot of problems, and the roots of this towering tree have rotted. If you want to save it, it seems too difficult.

"The failure of the night attack on the Jin camp under the city of Bianjing and the leak of the attack strategy of the Hebei war are certainly the work of the Lord and the faction." Tong Guan continued, "For you, this is a treason, but for them, this is patriotism. They are loyal to the Song Dynasty. In order to preserve the reign of the Song Dynasty, they even betrayed the secrets of the Song Dynasty. This is a fact, a very absurd and true fact."
