No matter how ulterior motives Wanyan Zongwang's series of actions were, it was impossible to hide them from the Song Dynasty people in Daming Mansion.
Now that Guo Yong was seriously injured and still unable to return to Daming Mansion to continue his appointment, Zhao Bushi, a rare talent among the Zhao family members, continued to serve as the magistrate of Daming Mansion.
Of course, before the arrival of Yue Fei, the commander-in-chief of Daming Mansion was Zhang Suo, the commander of the Eight-Character Army, who was still under the orders of Marshal Yang Weizhong of the Hebei Road Marshal Mansion who was in charge of Kaifeng.
After Zhao Huan's previous reminders, Zhang Suo should know what he should do and what he shouldn't do, no matter how unruly he is.
And with Zhao Huan's promise, Yang Weizhong became much more ruthless. Several generals who wanted to stab him in front of him immediately slashed them with their swords and showed their heads to everyone, regardless of their identity.
Some soldiers wanted to protest against their general and gathered in front of Marshal Yang Weizhong's mansion to demonstrate. However, they were told in his handwriting that they did not respect the general's orders and were dismissed from the army.
At the same time, it was announced to all places, especially their military.
Yang Weizhong has been fighting in the north and south for so many years. He doesn't just have bloody courage and a little bit of bravery. This guy really has this ability.
If someone had given them such an order ten years ago, or only ten years ago, their families would be grateful and beating gongs and drums.
Maybe we should build a shrine for Yang Weizhong and throw some chickens and ducks there every now and then to pay homage and wish him a long life.
The soldiers in this army did not have a good reputation in the Song Dynasty. They were called Qiu Bahan and were also called cowards.
Although it is possible to enter the Privy Council and serve as a Privy Councilor like Di Qing and others after joining the military, it is also possible to become a human being. Although suppressed by civilian officials, it is still much better than ordinary people.
If you can hug someone's big thick leg, you can become a loyal dog leg from now on, enjoying good food and drink, how happy it is.
But this is still a minority, a very small minority.
The vast majority of the soldiers are very miserable, and military status cannot be broken off just because one wants to.
So ten years ago or even longer in the past, this is not a punishment, this is a reward!
But now this is different, especially the Eight-Character Army, which is even more different.
The Eight-Character Army was originally a rebel army in the Taihang Mountains, and was later incorporated into the official army. At first, they were inspired by Zhang Suo, were taken under Wang Yan's command, and then entered the Hebei Marshal's Mansion under Zongze and received orders.
Fight against the Jin soldiers and make many military exploits!
With Zongze and Zhao Huan tightening their belts, needless to say these various treatments, the most important thing is to fight against the Jin army.
To put it bluntly, what is a rebel army? It means that the family members died in the hands of the golden man. The family is gone, the people are gone, and only those who are full of passion and continue to desperately avenge the golden man are left.
Their only remaining family members can only remind them day and night how incompetent they were back then.
Now that they finally have this opportunity, they can take revenge. If they are dismissed from all military memberships and kicked out of the Eight-Character Army with just a piece of official document, how will they face their families?
Most importantly, how do they fight gold again?
To be a bandit rebel?
Times have changed!
In the end, Yang Weizhong forced Zhang Suo to come to the house in person and kneel down to plead for mercy, and then he withdrew the order.
In the army, there are distinctions between superiors and subordinates. Military orders are like mountains. Those who disobey military orders must die. Zhang Suo has also seen what it means to do things for one person but not for others.
If these people really left like this, how would he deal with himself?
But if Zhang Suoruo refused to come to plead for mercy, how could he persuade Yang Weizhong?
A mutiny?
After experiencing this incident, Yang Weizhong's prestige grew stronger for a time, and his reputation as Marshal of Hebei Road was officially confirmed, although everyone knew that Yang Weizhong had reached this age.
I'm afraid he is just a transitional person like Zongze.
Yang Weizhong himself understood very well what Zhang said. He probably knew who he was paving the way for, so he called Zhang's Wang Yan, Li Mida, and veteran Wang Shan to his side.
What he said was very clear.
Among the people present, those with sufficient qualifications are too old, while those who are younger may not be capable enough or have insufficient qualifications. Marshal Hebei Road is obviously prepared for Yue Fei, who is now at the peak of his power.
He, Yang Weizhong, only has a few more years to live, so there is no need to commit mass murder before he dies.
Just let everyone do their own thing honestly.
After this long conversation, Zhang Suo finally knew how to take his own path. He led the Eight-Character Army into Daming Mansion, assisted Zhao Bushi in continuing to appease the people, and waited for an opportunity to regain the entire Daming Mansion.
At the same time, he assisted in the war in Hedong and Shandong.
On the other side, Yang Weizhong, Li Mi, Wang Shan and others were trying to pacify the Central Plains and plan the area for good life so that the people could farm with peace of mind and restore vitality to the Song Dynasty as soon as possible.
At the same time, Zhang Shuye, the general who was transferred to Kaifeng, was asked to enter Shunchang Mansion to station himself to ensure his flanks.
Speaking of Zhang Shuye, he was born thanks to his kindness. He was the great-grandson of Zhang Qi, a servant in the imperial palace. He served successively as secretary, junior supervisor, Zhongshu Sheren, guishizhong, minister of rites, and direct bachelor of Longtuge.
In recent years, both guarding the border and working diligently have made great contributions.
It can be regarded as a rare nugget of gold among the thousands of sands under the Enyin system.
This defense almost protected this battlefield tightly, but the arrival of Wanyan Zongwang broke this situation.
Wanyan Zongwang worked hard to win over people in Daming Mansion, which made Zhao Bushi, who was half a counselor, realize that something was wrong. He also keenly sensed that the number of refugees entering Daming Mansion during this period was decreasing significantly.
This shows that Wanyan Zongwang's efforts are really effective.
If he can really gain a foothold in Daming Mansion through this method, then the future battle will really become a protracted war of attrition between Song and Jin.
For the Jin people, the Daming Mansion was the result of invasion. The refugees in Hebei, the people of Daming Mansion, and the refugees hiding in the Taihang Mountains were also a surprise to them.
If it really consumes them, of course they won't feel bad, but not Song Dynasty.
After all this consumption, it was the Song people who lost in the end, so Zhao Bushi personally found Zhang Suo, hoping that he could prevent this kind of thing from happening.
At the beginning, Zhao Bushi also increased his efforts to recruit refugees, including heaven and earth, rice and grain, and many benefits.
But when Wanyan Zongwang saw this, he immediately changed his tactics and said, "Teach everyone equally!"
What is given to the refugees is also given to the people, so let’s just spend it!
This moment made Zhao Bushi freeze. It wasn't that Zhao Bushi was stingy, but that he really couldn't afford it.
This Jin man claims to treat everyone equally. How much will he give to the refugees and how much will he give to the common people? How many damn common people does he have?
In the final analysis, this so-called equal treatment is just an extra 10% or 20% of the consumption reimbursement, but Zhao Buxian looked at the base of people under him.
If this is the case, the Song Dynasty's treasury will not be enough even now, even during the peak period of Renzong's reign, he will have to run out of money.
And where did he get so much land?
The Jin people massacred dozens of cities, and there was a lot of land, but their cities were still full.
"Since being soft is not good enough, then let's be tough!" As the ambassador of Hebei West Road, Zhang Suo is not a civil servant. He has a explosive temper...
In Zhao Huan's words, this thing was a wolf-dog that became a spirit in its previous life, and whoever had to bite him would have to bite him!
Although Zhang Suo's suggestion seemed a bit inferior to Zhao Bushi, now was not the time to think about it, so after reporting to Yang Weizhong, he sent troops first without waiting for the rear to recover.
He wanted to conquer Daming County directly to break the deadlock.
But Daming County is now said to be strong under the renovation of the Jin people. Wanyan Zongwang even entertained Wanyan Gao himself and asked Wanyan Gao to pay the bill. He summoned 100,000 farmers to build a ring of outer wall fortifications for Daming Mansion. It is shockingly strong.
At the same time, the Daming Mansion guard also changed from Ma Wu with two swords to Wanyan Alubu, the number one general under Wanyan Zongwang!
The deputy generals are Wanyan Huonv, the famous general of the Jin Kingdom, and Da Bian, the number one general of Bohai, Ta Buye!
With this lineup, let alone Zhang Suo and Wang Yan, even if the Hebei Road Marshal's Mansion came out in full force, they would still have to retreat. Zhao Huan and Yue Fei would have a headache when they came.
It can be called one of the famous generals of the Jin Dynasty.
Wanyan Alubu was the son of Wanyan Yehe of Yinshui Wanyan Department Bo Jin. He was tall and swift, and was often the vanguard in battles. He was also quite resourceful and was best at fighting with less to defeat more.
He has already joined the army and fought in the army before he was crowned. Decades of fighting and fighting have made him famous. It cannot be said that he has not suffered a defeat, but the worst is a draw.
Similarly, Wanyan Huonv was also the son of Wanyan Loushi, a veteran general of the Jin Kingdom. She was always the vanguard in every battle, and she must be the first to attack a city. At that time, she led a hundred thousand troops in the army to aid Taiyuan and was killed by Nianhan.
Wanyan Huonu had once defeated a large army of Zhongshi in front. The Western army had just come off the battlefield of Xixia, and its blood had not yet dried.
If this were not the case, the cultivators would not be able to take risks and end up in a dismal situation.
As for the most powerful general in the Bohai Sea, Dabao, whose real name is Ta Buye, he served as an official in the Liao Kingdom in his early years. He has been an official in the Liao Kingdom for generations and is also a famous family.
The people of the Bohai tribe were already brave and good at fighting, and he even called him the best. After surrendering to the Jin Kingdom, he contributed a lot, especially against the Liao Kingdom, which made him famous.
The last elite of the 200,000 Liao army attacked the Jin camp. At first, the Jin people did not dare to fight due to lack of soldiers and horses. Da Bian repeatedly asked for orders and finally led 3,000 soldiers out of the camp to fight to the death.
One man killed hundreds of people, defeated two hundred thousand elite soldiers, and became famous in one battle.
After that, the Song and Jin Dynasties fought for many years, and this guy even showed the posture of a special forces soldier. With the most skilled archer among hundreds of troops, he was able to suppress the archers on the city wall.
Then, relying on some auxiliary objects to find omissions, he climbed onto the city wall and directly attacked the city by surprise.
There are dozens of people under his command who can climb the city with bare hands relying on some tools. With this skill, he once destroyed thirteen cities in one month, including many fortified towns.
Facing such three famous generals of the Jin Kingdom, although the Eight-Character Army fought bravely to kill the enemy, Zhang Suo Wang Yan personally took the target, but after losing thousands of people, they did not even touch the gate of Daming County.
Zhang Suo didn't know that the other party wanted to rely on his subordinates who were familiar with the terrain of Daming Prefecture to bypass Daming County and enter the rear to attack them from both front and rear.
As a result, this plan was corrected by Wanyan Alu, who was always known for his sharp eyesight. He led his cavalry to ambush halfway and killed Zhang Suo's general Meng De on the spot.
At the same time, all the elite men of the 3,000 Eight-Character Army under Meng De's command were strangled until every last one was left.
Afterwards, they blocked the news and pretended that Meng De had succeeded, and induced Zhang Suo to launch a fierce attack on Daming Mansion, voluntarily giving up the strong defensive outer wall fortifications and giving up the city gate of Daming Mansion.
Make that firm feel like it has succeeded.
Afterwards, a heavy ambush was laid in Daming Mansion. When Zhang Suo entered Daming County, they immediately set up ambushes to kill Zhang Suo here.
Fortunately, Wang Yan discovered that something was wrong early, and held Zhang Suo tightly to prevent him from entering in person, and instead delegated others. However, even so, the Eight-Character Army suffered heavy losses after the ambushes broke out.
The army rained arrows from the sky, killing hundreds of Eight-Character Army members. The Jin cavalry, which had been lurking outside for a long time, continued to divide and tear the army under Zhang's command.
Zhang Suo, Wang Yan and others kept gathering soldiers and rushed back, but they were unable to do anything.
At the critical moment, Yang Weizhong personally led the army to come to the rescue and opened a gap to rescue everyone.
But when they rushed out, they suddenly discovered that their camp had been taken advantage of by Wanyan Huonv and an army led by her.
Not only that, the Bohai People's Congress took advantage of this opportunity to launch a sneak attack on the rear, breaking through Qingfeng County where Zhao Bushi was stationed.
Zhao Bushi resisted desperately but had no choice but to force a large number of soldiers and horses under his command. The soldiers and horses under his command were extremely elite. In the end, all the defenders in the city were killed and wounded, and Zhao Bushi died for his country.
Zhang Suo retreated for more than a hundred miles, and the Eight-Character Army suffered more than five thousand casualties. The leaders of the Nineteenth Route Rebel Army under his command had already killed and wounded several people before, and now only a few people were left.
Even Zhang Suo, the commander of the Eight-Character Army, was shot with several arrows. Zhang Suo, who was too old, fell into a coma after he stabilized his position.
He died suddenly before the doctors arrived.
For a time, gloom fell on Daming Mansion, and when all this happened, Yue Fei finally entered Kaifeng Mansion and met Li Mida.
"The banquet is unnecessary. Wanyan Zongwang's comeback must not be underestimated. Marshal and General Zhang really underestimated the enemy!
Just in case, please allocate food and grass immediately, and a certain family will go to Daming Mansion for rescue! "
