Zhang Jue had been planning how to join the Song Dynasty since he took office in Weizhou, and he often exchanged letters with Wang Anzhong, the Yanshan Xuanfu envoy of the Song Dynasty.
Wang Anzhong knew that the Jin people were cunning and Zhang Jue was a surrendered general, so he did not dare to believe his words easily. After reporting the other party's idea of joining the Song Dynasty to the court, the court paid special attention to the matter.
After all, Zhang Jue is in the Dajin army, so he must know the military situation of Dajin very well. If he can instigate this person as an internal agent, he will have a better chance of winning in the future war situation.
But Wang Anzhong's worries were not exaggerated. The imperial court wanted to take advantage of Zhang Jue, but at the same time it was suspicious of him. So after some negotiation, it was ensured that Zhang Jue knew about Dai Jin's army deployment, soldiers, horses, food and other important information. He said that as long as he could pay his vote, the Song Dynasty would protect him.
Zhang Jue was determined to leave Jin and join the Song Dynasty. He then sent people to kill the four Jin ministers Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi and Kang Gongbi who were passing through Weizhou, and paid the certificate of surrender to the Song Dynasty. As a result, the Song Dynasty also Believed him.
After killing these four people, Zhang Jue did not immediately flee to the Song Dynasty, but pretended to be unaware and continued to stay in Weizhou.
Unexpectedly, the whole Jin Kingdom was furious because of the deaths of the four people. After several thorough investigations, they suspected Zhang Jue. Seeing that the situation was not good, Zhang Jue led his five thousand soldiers to kill all the Jurchen soldiers in the city and fled. After leaving Yuzhou, he met Wang Anzhong, the Yanshan Xuanfu envoy.
When he learned of Zhang Jue's rebellion, Wanyan Aguda was furious and directly sent troops to attack Yanyun Prefecture City, heading straight for Zhang Jue in Yanshan. ?.?????.???
However, after Zhang Jue informed the Song Dynasty and the Jin army's deployment and troops, the Song Dynasty quickly formulated a response method, and actually resisted the advance of the Song Dynasty and Jin troops.
Huizong was overjoyed when he heard the news. He directly formed a Taining army and appointed Zhang Jue as Jiedushi to lead troops to resist the Jin soldiers.
And Zhang Jue did have some ability. He defeated the army led by Wanyan Aguda's half-brother Wanyan Yanmu. For a while, the Song army was very excited. It can be said that all the anger of last year's land cession and large compensation was vented. , brave and fearless on the battlefield, and good news came frequently.
Huizong saw an opportunity to regain the five states and wash away his shame, so he shipped all the grain and grass collected last autumn to Yanshan.
As Wanyan Jianmu returned from defeat, Wanyan Aguda immediately made strategic adjustments and sent Wanyan Zongwang to take over Wanyan Jianmu's army to attack Zhang Jue.
Wanyan Zongwang was the second son of Wanyan Aguda. He often followed him on expeditions, always accompanied him, and made many military exploits. Not only did he have a high reputation in the court, but his prestige in the army was second only to Wanyan Aguda. And because he was brave and good at fighting and often accompanied Wanyan Aguda, he was also called the "Second Prince".
It is said that this man is meticulous and persistent, likes to talk about Buddhism, and has a plump face like a Buddha. All the officers and soldiers in the army are willing to use him. He will conquer wherever he goes and win in battle. He is known as the "Bodhisattva Prince".
The Jin soldiers changed generals before the battle. Not only did their morale not suffer at all, but their military power was greatly boosted. They quickly reversed the defeat and began to launch a fierce attack on Youzhou, which was renamed Yanjing.
The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were all relying on the morale gained from the previous consecutive victories. Now the morale of the Jin soldiers was even stronger. Soon the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty suffered one series of defeats and began to lose a large number of cities. The bad news was spread back to Bianjing. .
Huizong was so frightened that he slumped down on the imperial chair, feeling an unspeakable fear in his heart.
Upon seeing this, the courtiers hurriedly said that they also had two generals, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi.
Huizong was overjoyed after hearing this and immediately sent two men to Yanjing to support the army.
During this period of time, Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi were immersed in the flattery and bragging of people around them all the time. They were so arrogant that they even walked as if they were being carried by the wind. appearance.
So after receiving Huizong's order, the two rushed to Yanjing with great ambitions.
The two of them arrogantly believed that the Jin soldiers were nothing more than that, and that the generals who led the troops must be mediocre. This made the Jin soldiers so arrogant and arrogant. If they had waited for the two of them to arrive, they would have been able to turn things around.
However, the cruelty of the Jin soldiers and the fierceness of the battle far exceeded the two's expectations. The scene on the battlefield this time was far from what it was when they annihilated the rebel army. As long as they occupied the top and shouted loudly, those uprising troops The soldiers were so frightened that they abandoned their weapons and surrendered.
On the real battlefield, there is only life-and-death killing of the enemy. Before the overall situation is determined, there will be no soldiers who surrender. Especially the ferocity of the Jin soldiers is like a group of uncivilized savages. Some Jin soldiers generals It seems that he takes pleasure in killing people, and everywhere he passes there is blood flying everywhere.
Every time they killed someone, they cut off the enemy's head and tied it around their waists. Blood flowed down their thighs. The sparse braids on their heads and their faces were covered with splashes of blood. They walked from the battlefield holding scimitars one by one. , the murderous aura emanating from the whole body is like a devil.
Just this scene was so frightening that Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi almost pissed themselves.
But as the war drums sounded, it was impossible for the two of them to retreat in the face of the battle. Thinking of the expectations of the officials and courtiers for them, and the respect of the people for them, in the end, they could only bite the bullet and rush forward.
Soldiers versus soldiers, generals versus generals, these two men are both skilled in martial arts, and their reputations are not in vain. When fighting against enemy generals, at first they had difficulty adapting to the noisy shouts of killing and the nauseating smell of blood on the battlefield. , seemed a little embarrassed, but after several fights, the two gradually regained their feelings and began to rely on martial arts to restore the defeat. However, after more than ten rounds, they killed the enemy general and ushered in the All the soldiers on the city wall raised their arms and shouted.
Wanyan Zongwang, who was in the Dajin Army Formation, naturally noticed the two of them, and he then sent two generals to remove their heads.
Unexpectedly, after fifty rounds, both of them were also beheaded.
Wanyanzong saw that the morale of our army was affected and the morale of the enemy army was high, so he did not show off his strength and chose to retreat.
This scene also made the generals guarding the city think that Da Jin was afraid of the arrival of these two warriors, so they ordered Jin to withdraw his troops. Then they shouted their names on the city wall with a loud voice that reached into the sky.
Zhang Jun and Liu Guangshi didn't have much smile on their faces. Their faces were as pale as paper, and they still had lingering fears in their hearts.
Even though they both won in both games, they were actually narrow wins.
The first battle was because the enemy generals were charging through the formation and had already consumed a lot of energy, so they were able to kill them without much effort. The two enemy generals who came to fight later were really fierce and unusual, and they almost Every round, he was on the edge of life and death, and his spirit was in a state of high tension.
Even if they succeeded in killing the enemy general in the end, the two of them thought that they were just lucky enough to win, and luck was probably involved in most of it.
Thinking that they would face fights by such fierce generals in the future, the two of them were now even willing to desert. How could they be complacent because of the surging morale of the soldiers?
