After Liang, the Jin army did not launch an attack. Yue Fei sent a scout to repay him. It was estimated that the reinforcements from the Song Dynasty were about to arrive. Yue Fei was worried that it was a trap set by the Jin army and still stood firm on the front line of Jiashan.

On May 12, Liu, Lu Junyi and Roland led their troops to approach Anxi. Along the way, they were careful, for fear of being surrounded by the Jin army. In the afternoon, the two armies met at Changxingchuan.

Yue Fei's army suffered heavy losses and was no longer able to fight again. Liu and Lu Junyi's army had only more than 20,000 people in total, and was no match for the Jin army at all. So several commanders discussed and retreated to Zhending Mansion overnight.

The Song army's counterattack was divided into two left and right routes, with Liu and Yue Fei on the left side, mainly attacking Zhongshan and Baozhou. Yue Fei was ordered to launch an attack first, but was surrounded by the Jin army. In desperation, he had no choice but to retreat and wait for the orders of Xuanfusi and Bianjing. Liu and Yue Fei's retreat allowed the Jin army to quickly free up their hands and fight the right army of the Song Dynasty.

On May 16, Zong Wang commanded a large army to attack Gaoyang and confronted Zhong Shizhong. Zhong Shizhong had a serious shortage of troops and was defeated in the first battle and hurriedly withdrew from Gaoyang.

Upon hearing the news, Zhong Shidao immediately called Liu, Yue Fei and Lu Junyi to attack An Xi again, forcing the Jin army to divide the troops; ordered Yao Gu, Zhan Du and Chen to support the two wings of the Zong army, and the three armies supported each other, fixing the front line in Boye and Hejian.

Zhong Shidao, the Xuanfu Envoy, was nominally the commander of the Hebei battlefield, but he did not have all the command power. He only had part of the command power, and he could adapt to the situation without the consent of Bian Jing in an emergency. This small part of the command power was not exclusive to Zhong Shidao, but was divided equally with the Hebei commander Yao Gu. The purpose of the court to do this was to restrict Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu's military power.

Yao Gu’s view of the situation on the battlefield is different from that of Zhong Shidao. Yao Gu believes that since Yue Fei has been defeated on the left and has withdrawn to Zhending, even if this attack fails, all the troops will withdraw and re-develop attack strategies. If the original strategy is continued, the left and right sides will not be able to protect and support each other, forming a state of fighting each other, which will easily defeat the enemy.

Yao Gu was at the forefront of the battlefield and was very close to all the armies. His retreat order arrived first.

Zhong Shidao should consider the overall situation. Now the little emperor and Bianjing are eager to win a victory to reverse the situation, but the war was frustrated before it even started. This blow was too big and would seriously affect morale, so the little emperor and Bianjing would not agree to withdraw the troops. Once Yao Gu's withdrawal order becomes a reality, all the troops retreat to Tuohe and return to the starting point. Then Zhong Shidao, Yao Gu and the commanders of each army will be punished by the little emperor. Zhong Shidao did not want to give up the power of commanding the army, nor did he want to be defeated, so he immediately ordered that the troops stop retreating and block the Jin army.

Two completely different orders made the commanders of each army at a loss. Fortunately, after reading Zhong Shidaodi's letter, Yao Gu adopted Zhong Shidaodi's suggestions. However, this incident must have affected Yao Gu's prestige in the army. After hearing the news, the little emperor and Bian Jing must be extremely annoyed that he made a decision to retreat without authorization. Yao Gu's good days are over.

The Jin army fought for several days and was a little tired. Zong Wang saw the Song army fighting tenaciously. He did not retreat and did not dare to fight hard. He immediately ordered the attack pace to slow down.

On May 20th, Bianjing sent an imperial edict, denying Zhong Shidao's decision and ordered the Northwest Army and the Tiger Lieutenant Army to continue to launch a counterattack as planned. The reason for Bianjing was that Yue Fei and the main force of the Jin army fought in Zhongshan for more than ten days. The Jin army must have suffered losses. The soldiers were exhausted and their morale was poor. This was the best opportunity for the right-wing army to launch a fierce attack. The young emperor and the central ministers of the Bianjing were sitting at home for granted. They talked about war on paper and ignored the reality. The result was imagined.

The orders in Bianjing were absolutely authoritative. Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu could only submit to Bianjing while obeying the order. They hoped that Bianjing would change their decisions.

Bian Jing refused to change the orders and wrote a letter to Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu with extremely strict words, accusing the two commanders of slandering and disregarding the country and fighting against Bian Jing. If they continue to disobey the orders, they will be severely punished.

Zhong Shidao had no choice but to look at the battlefield helplessly and pray for the soldiers on the front line.

On May 25, Liu, Yue Fei and Lu Junyi led their troops north and attacked Anxi City, Zhongshanzhi Prefecture again to restrain the Jin army and support the right army to attack north.

At this moment, Yao Gu, Zhong Shizhong, Zhan Du, and Chen have been in the Tuohe line for more than ten days. The Jin army's offensive was like a tide, and its main attack was the central part of the Zong Shi. The Song army had no advantage in military strength, and it was a battle against the water, which caused great losses.

On the 26th, Zong Wang heard that the Song army attacked Zhongshan again, and immediately adjusted the deployment and gathered 60,000 main forces to launch an attack on the Zhongshi Central. Zhongshi Zhong could not resist and was defeated and left the Junzi Hall. The Jin army followed and pursued him, surrounded Zhongshi Zhong at Junzi Hall.

Zhan Du and Chen were in Hejian City, only a few dozen miles away from Junzi Hall, but their troops were seriously insufficient and they were unable to rescue them. At night, Zhan Du and Chen saw the torches outside the city stretching for more than ten miles, and were so scared that they ran away and fled along the east bank of the canal.

On the 27th, Yao Gu sent Jiao Anjie to support Zhong Shizhong, the commander of Xihe Road, but Jiao Anjie was afraid of death and fled on the way. On the afternoon of the same day, Zhong Shizhong was wiped out.

die.

On the 28th, Zong Bi directed the main force of the Jin army to directly kill Boye and prepare to siege and kill Yao Gu. Yao Gu immediately retreated across the Tuohe River. The Jin army followed and chased after him, and severely damaged Yao Gu in Shenzhou.

On the 29th, Zong Wang and Guo Yaoshi led their troops to Anxi City. Liu took the lead in withdrawing his troops, Yue Fei and Lu Jun were outnumbered and fled Zhending.

The Hebei War launched by Bianjing suffered a crushing defeat, nearly 100,000 troops were defeated, and a group of senior generals, including Zhongshi, died in battle.

At the end of May, Li Hu quietly arrived at Hedongcheng, the capital of Hezhong Prefecture.

Bian Jing's attention is all on the battlefield in Hebei. In addition, we must also take into account the suppression of rebellions in Shandong and stabilize the southeastern prefectures and counties to obtain money and food. We have no longer cared about the northwest in the near future.

Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu and others, under the coercion of Zhe Yanzhi, had to deceive Bianjing and said that they had successfully arrived in Shaanxi. At the end of this month, they and Zhe Yanzhi arrived in Hedong together and met Wang and Li Hu.

The king did not need them to control Shaanxi. Shaanxi and Hedong were both the spheres of influence of the Northwest Generals. Considering that the Northwest Army was an important force to seize the imperial throne, especially at this critical moment, he had to spare no effort to win over it. Therefore, Prince Yun had already agreed to the Northwest Generals. Once he ascended the throne, he immediately issued an order to arrange for the Northwest Generals to serve as the Shaanxi Generals, Xuanfu Envoy, and the Strategic Envoy of Shaanxi Sixth Road and Hedong Envoy. Now these places are appointed by Bianjing to the Land Xuanfu Envoy, and the Strategic Envoy continued to take charge of the power, but in fact they have been emptied by the Northwest Generals.

When Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu saw Prince Yun, Li Hu and Tong Guan suddenly appeared in Hedong, they immediately realized that the Song Dynasty was in an even more terrifying crisis. If it was the first time that the Jin people invaded and the old emperor abdicated to the little emperor, then this time, the decision of Prince Yun to seize the imperial rule was the second time. Can the Song Dynasty, which is in turmoil, still be banned from such a heavy blow?

The king is now full of confidence and is preparing to make great achievements after ascending the throne. He now lacks people, especially famous scholars like Qian Gai. Fan Zhixu personally summoned Qian Gai. Fan Zhixu wanted to win over them and use them for his own use. Qian Gai and Fan Zhixu were both experts in the officialdom. They weighed the pros and cons in the shortest time and decided to follow Prince Yun. Now Prince Yun has Li Hu on the left and Zhe Yanzhi on the right, and there is also a scheming Tong Guan behind him. This combination is too powerful, and Bian Jing is no match at all.

If the little emperor of Bianjing wanted to turn the situation around, the only chance was the Hebei War. As long as the Hebei War was won, Hebei and Youyan were recovered, and he saved the unforgivable mistakes he had made, he could establish prestige and consolidate the throne. Otherwise, his foundation would be unstable and vulnerable. The old emperor fled to the southeast and originally wanted to put the blame on the little emperor. As a result, the old emperor got what he wanted, and the little emperor watched him fall into the trap. Of course, if the little emperor was brave enough and his confidants were as strong as Li Gang, then the little emperor might not have made a move to cede land and pay compensation and destroy his future. But it was too late to say anything now.

Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhang Xiaochun, Qian Gai, Fan Zhixu, Li Zongzhen and others are all proficient in political affairs. Once these people reach a consensus, they will immediately form a powerful force. They are determined to serve the king, give advice to the king, and design a blueprint for the future.

Neither Li Hu nor Tong Guan participated in the political affairs discussion. Li Hu was a Han captain, a pure warrior, and he knew very little about the political affairs of the Song Dynasty. Even if he participated, he was confused and confused. Tong Guan was an eunuch, and in the past he was a powerful figure. Now he has surrendered to Prince Yun. When he sat there, everyone else was afraid and could not tell the reason, so he would be better off avoiding it and let the little emperor deal with it in order to cultivate prestige.

Li Hu returned to the tent in the middle of the night and found Dong Xiaochou, Mao Jun, Huang She, Chai Yun and others were all there, all of them with heavy expressions and a worried look.

"What do you want to say to me?" Li Hu asked them to sit down. We were together all year round and no longer cared about some minor details. We each found a place to sit down in the most comfortable position. Fang Jin and Wang Dazhong still brought tea to everyone like in the past and stood at the curtain. The two of them were too close to the center, especially when they were marching and fighting, they were basically inseparable from Li Hu, so they knew a lot of secrets.

"It's still an old problem." Huang She said, "We rushed south to Bianjing and had no confidence in controlling the emperor and the court. Even if this trip was successful, we would be a wedding dress for the king. If the king controls power and takes it away, then our situation would be very difficult." Huang She pointed outside the account, "Look at Qian Gai, what did Fan Zhixu and others talk about after they came? Did he call us?" Huang She pointed at Dong Xiaochou and Chai Yun again, "In the eyes of the king, we are the stepping stones for him to reach the top. When he succeeds, he will be unloaded and killed the donkey."
