Wang Xiaoli was busy, and the days passed day by day. Before he knew it, autumn passed and the cold winter slowly entered. The Jin army on the east road all started to rise, and the Yan and Heshuo militias, with Wanyan Zongbi as the marshal, launched a large-scale invasion of the south. .

A few months ago, Zhang Yong did not attack Tangzhou, so he turned to Guangzhou and stayed there. Many mountain villages were built along the Huai River, and the food in the surrounding areas was received by Zhang Yong. The Jin army invaded the south and heard that Empress Dowager Longyou was in Nanchang. He wanted to cross the river from Huangzhou and attack Nanchang directly. Guangzhou was on the way south of the Jin army. The Jin people sent 500 Jin soldiers and suddenly attacked Guangzhou. Zhang Yong, who was known as tens of thousands of troops, scattered and was burned out by the Jin army.

Wang Xiaolie could ignore the matter of the Jin army crossing the river from Huangzhou and attacking Empress Dowager Longyou, but Zhang Yong could not ignore it. Guangzhou and Xinyang Army were closely adjacent, and a large number of scattered soldiers entered the Xinyang Army. The situation was tense for a while. Zhang Yong collected the remaining troops. , headed towards Lu'an Army.

In the Xinye City Yamen, Wang Xiaoli said to Yang Shen: "Yu Huan wrote a letter saying that nearly 10,000 Zhang Yong's remaining troops entered the Xinyang army and caused trouble. His troops only had 300 troops and horses, and they could not suppress them for a moment. Yes, you bring five hundred soldiers to Xinyang to calm down the situation. The most important thing for these chaotic troops is to give them food and a place to live. This year, there is no takeout in Xinyang, so it should be enough. After arriving in Xinyang, you organize these The chaotic army established villages and allowed them to settle down. Among them, those who meet the military standards can be recruited to Xinye."

Yang Shen crossed his hands and said yes.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "It has been winter, and the Jin army invaded the south, and the next battle will not be missing. We will still station in Xinye and sit and see the surrounding situation. After Zhang Yong was disbanded by the Jin army, if we go to Lianghuai, we will Safety."

Yang Shen said: "Zhang Yong had visited Queshan a few months ago and did not dare to attack Tangzhou. I think nothing happened."

Wang Xiaoli said: "This time the Jin army attacked Nanchang, plotted to defeat Empress Dowager Longyou and defeated many state troops. These broken state troops will be the place where thieves will rampant in the future. Zhang Yong has already gone to Lianghuai, and heard that Kaifeng Prefecture in the north has still been There are chaos in the army going south, and there will be no peace in the future."

After Du Chong went south, some of the former Kaifeng Prefecture's troops were unwilling to follow him and raised troops. Wang Xiaolii was surrounded by Cao Duan, who was rampant on the northwest road of Beijing. He was called "Cao Mars" and caused chaos in Zhengzhou and Henan. The mansion also has Sang Zhong, who is stationed in Yingchang Prefecture and Caizhou, who is recruiting troops. After Zhang Yong led his troops to Lianghuai, the gap left was given to Sang Zhong.

Wanyan Zongbing invaded the south and led his main force to attack Jiankang Mansion to see Zhao Gou's whereabouts. He also studied under Huangzhou to cross the river and chased Queen Mother Longyou. The subsequent development of the war was completely beyond Wang Xiaoli's expectations.

The Jin army was in full swing and moved quickly, and the troops would not be too much. If the Song Dynasty could arrange the troops in a unified manner, concentrate the army, and intercept them step by step, it would not be very difficult to block the Jin army. It was difficult, but the Song army was in charge of the situation of the Jin army. Almost ignorant, a great defeat soon occurred. The Jin army had a strong force and had an advantage at every point. After crossing the river, it was like entering a land of no one.

By November, the development of the war left Wang Xiaoli stunned. Although the Song Dynasty guards survived and died together with the city, it was useless. There was no soldier in the city, and the city was often captured after a few days of resistance. After the Jin army crossed the river, Liu Guangshi, who guarded Jiangzhou, was The situation worsened even worse when the Jin army arrived. In addition, many officials of the Song Dynasty rushed over and surrendered when they saw the Jin army arrive, and Jiangnan West Road almost collapsed. Even when the Jin army pursued, the speed of the pursuit was even higher than that of Queen Mother Longyou's escape. It was so fast that the Liangzhe Road, which Wanyan Zongbi's main attack, quickly deteriorated after the Jiankang Prefecture surrendered without fighting. Zhao Gou fled to Mingzhou and finally decided to take a unit of his army on board to avoid the enemy at sea.

On that day, Wang Xiaolie sat in the yamen. After reading the official documents, he couldn't help but sigh.

Judging from last year, after Du Chong gave up Henan Prefecture and led his troops south to defend Jianghuai, the situation seemed to stabilize. Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongbi led his army to invade the south this year, and the situation worsened. Looking at the Song Dynasty, there was almost no way to fight against the Jin army.

The army.

Yang Shen came in from outside and told Wang Xiao: "Observe that the people of several states said that they would have a great harvest this year and wanted to celebrate the New Year. The generals also intended to do so. We have worked hard for a long time, but this year is rare to have a lot of happiness.

No need to be hard like in previous years.”

Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "No need. This year, the Jin army attacked the southeast with all its might, and the situation is even more sinister than in previous years. Although there is no war here, it is not advisable to celebrate with great fanfare. Please continue to order important officials under your jurisdiction to come to Xinye.

We are all gathered together.”

Yang Shen hesitated for a moment and still took the order.

Wang Xiaolie looked through the recent official documents and felt really relaxed.

If I remember well, Wanyan Zongbi will encounter Han Shizhong when he goes back. The two sides fight in Huang Tiandang, and the Song Dynasty has a great victory. It is this great victory that prevents the Jin army from crossing the river easily.

But I didn't expect that the situation in the Song Dynasty would be so bad before Huang Tiandang. It can be said that the Song Dynasty had no ability to fight against the Jin army at this time. From top to bottom, it was a mess.

After reading the official documents for a while, I felt really frustrated, so Wang Xiaoli stood up and went to the yard.

Niu Gaozheng and Shao Ling were watching a wintersweet plant in the yard, arguing about when it would bloom. When they saw Wang Xiaoliu coming, they saluted together.

Wang Xiaoliu said: "This winter, the Jin army crossed the river in the southeast, as if it was entering a deserted state. The situation is really worrying. Tell me, what do you think about the current situation? Is there any war here like us?"

Niu Gao said: "The Jin army's offensive is fierce, and there are no generals in this dynasty to fight against the enemy, which is really embarrassing for a while. However, let's see, the Chinese New Year is coming soon. Spring will come soon. The southeast is different from ours. Spring comes early.

Moreover, the weather is humid and hot, and the Jin people will definitely not be able to stay there. As long as they last two or three months, they will definitely be fine. The Jin soldiers retreat and find a way."

Shao Ling said: "That's true. Now is the peak of the Jin soldiers, and it is difficult to resist head-on. We can only wait until the weather is hot and the Jin soldiers retreat, and then select talents and train them into elite soldiers. It is the beginning of the twelfth lunar month, so we don't have much time.

Now.”

Wang Xiaoli shook his head: "It seems that time can only be used. When the weather is hot, the Jin people can't live there before cleaning up the rivers and mountains."

Speaking of this, Wang Xiaolien sighed: "Such a big country has no power to fight back against tens of thousands of gold troops. Speaking of which, I am really ashamed of myself! When did this dynasty fall into this field!"

Niu Gao and Shao Ling looked at each other without saying a word. Wang Xiaolie said it well. No matter from any aspect, the Song Dynasty was a great country, and he didn't even have the power to fight back against the Jin army. If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would have said it out.

No one believed it. Now, no matter the military and civilians of the Song Dynasty, as long as they knew that the Jin army was coming from the opposite side, many people did not even have the courage to resist. The most outrageous thing was that the Jin people's arrow shot at the top of the city, and the officials took the lead in escaping.

Wang Xiaolie looked up at the sky, and didn't know what to say for a moment. In history, Wanyan Zongbi's southern attack was to search mountains and check the sea, and it was the time when the Jin Dynasty's troops were at its peak. When the front attacked Kaifeng

, The Song army also resisted and fought many wars with the Jin army. This time, the Song Dynasty did not even have a decent resistance. The Jin army crossed the river and entered a land without a man.

After a while, Wang Xiaoliu said: "Is there any news about Jingxi and Shaanxi Road? The Jin army went south this time and did not draw troops from the West Road."

Niu Gao said: "I just got the news that Lou Su and the rebel general Zhe Keqiu gathered tens of thousands of troops to go to Shanzhou. If Shanzhou does not defend, the Jin army may launch a large-scale attack on Shaanxi and spy on Shu."

"Shanzhou?" Wang Xiaoli turned around and looked at Niu Gao, but he didn't say anything for a long time.

At this time, the only one who truly resisted the Jin Dynasty on the Northwest Jing Dynasty was Zhai Xing's troops. Not far from Henan Prefecture, there was Li Yanxian, a Shaanxi Road who belonged to Shaanxi Road. The two were very famous and were the leaders of the Western Road in the Song Dynasty's anti-Jin period at this time.

Shanzhou is located approximately in Sanmenxia, ​​later generations. This place was not famous in later generations, but it was not the case at this time. In addition to the name of the prefectures, there were also county names, including the first grade of the prefectures in the Song Dynasty.

As the governor's prefecture, Shanzhou is the governor's prefecture. The governor's prefecture has an important position and is located at a critical point. Shanzhou is located on the Yellow River, blocking the key to traffic between Jingxi Road and Shaanxi Road. Because Li Yanxian guarded Shanzhou, the Jin army only

If you can attack Shaanxi from Hedong Road, you cannot attack along the most convenient Yellow River.

After a while, Wang Xiaolei said: "It seems that the Jin army will intend to Guanzhong after the New Year."
