Since Yue Fei resisted the Jin Dynasty and was killed by Qin Hui on unfounded charges, the Southern Song Dynasty court, which was in a corner and not interested in making progress, has been dominated by the peace faction.
Here, the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers sang and danced in the West Lake all day long; over there, the Jin Emperor was bright and beautiful, but he was secretly recruiting troops and building warships.
Starting from the ninth year of Shaoxing, Jin general Wanyan Zongbi sent troops to invade the south several times, but was repelled by Song general Li Xianzhong and his troops.
In the 31st year of Shaoxing, Wanyan Liang personally led hundreds of thousands of troops to cross the Huaihe River and invade the Huaixi area. Song Gaozong, who was facing a formidable enemy, had to appoint Liu Qi, a 63-year-old veteran, to guard Yangzhou and resist the Jin soldiers.
At that time, Liu Qi was old and sick, and his body was extremely weak. As a last resort, he handed over the military power to his deputy commander Wang Quan.
Unexpectedly, Wang Quan, the defender of Huaixi, was a weakling. He regarded the Jin soldiers as tigers and wolves. In the end, he was forced to go to the battlefield. When he lost the battle with the Jin soldiers, he ignored Huaixi and led 18,000 soldiers. The defeated soldiers fled after a fight and fled to the vicinity of Caishiji in Nanjing.
Emperor Gaozong was furious when he heard the news and immediately dismissed the royal officials and sent veteran Li Xianzhong to replace him.
Just when Wang Quan had been dismissed and Li Xianzhong was still on his way to take office, this important node where the three armies were left unattended, a civilian official sent by the Southern Song Dynasty court to reward troops on the front line, a Confucian scholar who was on the military staff at the time, shouldered the heavy responsibility in the face of crisis.
Finally, in Caishiji, facing the dangerous juncture when the Jin soldiers were preparing to cross the river and the army was about to press the border, he resolutely took over the role of commander-in-chief of the three armies and led more than 18,000 people to join the 150,000 who later crossed the river. The Jin army fought in Caishiji. In the end, they defeated the Jin army with a small number and defeated the Jin army. They won the famous "Caishiji victory" and preserved the century-old power of the Southern Song Dynasty.
And this person is Yu Yunwen, who is known as a person through the ages.
"Ding, the fifth summons is opening...
The first person, Feng Dao, has 40 in command, 55 in force, 94 in intelligence, and 98 in politics. "
Feng Dao, an evergreen figure in the political arena of the Five Dynasties, is known as the veteran of the Ten Dynasties. Starting from Jie Yan and Liu Shouguang, he served in the Later Tang, Later Jin, Later Han, and the Later Zhou Dynasty. He served successively for Zhuangzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, Emperor Min of the Later Tang Dynasty, and the late Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty. , Gaozu of the Later Jin Dynasty, Emperor Chu of the Later Jin Dynasty, Gaozu of the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Yin of the Later Han Dynasty, Taizu of the Later Zhou Dynasty, and Shizong of the Later Zhou Dynasty. During this period, they also professed vassalage to Taizong of the Liao Dynasty and always served as generals, ministers, and divisions. For most of the Five Dynasties, Feng Dao held high positions.
His smoothness and political ability were unique among the Five Dynasties. Ouyang Xiu scolded him as "shameless", and Sima Guang even denounced him as "a traitorous official".
But Feng Dao was not an incompetent person. He valued talents, did good deeds, helped the people, supported the virtuous, worked conscientiously, and was frugal and peaceful. He was a model for people and ministers. During the Five Dynasties, there was a saying that "there are no wise or foolish people in the world, but they all look up to Dao." A veteran, and happy to be praised."
"Ding, the second person, Li Zhen, has 42 in command, 52 in force, 99 in intelligence, and 92 in politics."
Although due to various reasons, the historical evaluation of the Later Liang Dynasty established by Zhu Wen is always more negative than positive. However, for the Hou Liang Dynasty, which created the historical era of the Five Dynasties, its cultural governance and martial arts do not seem to be worse than those of the Later Tang and Later Zhou Dynasties.
Even the quality of the talents it gathered was higher than at other times in the Five Generations. Among these talents, if we talk about the top spot, no one can surpass Jingxiang.
Jingxiang was to Zhu Wen what Wang Meng was to Fu Jian. He helped Zhu Wen come up with strange plans, and also helped Zhu Wen handle government affairs. The political affairs of Houliang were basically under Jingxiang's hands.
If Jingxiang is Zhu Wen's most capable minister, then Li Zhen is Zhu Wen's first counselor. Li Zhen is similar to Jia Xu's insidiousness and uncanny intelligence. Li Zhen and Jingxiang together formed Zhu Wen's right-hand man, and helped Zhu Wen secure a large foundation in the future Liang Dynasty.
Li Zhen was born into a noble family. Like Jing Xiang, Zhu Wen's other right-hand man, he failed in the scientific examination in his early years. By chance, he joined Zhu Wen and became a perfect match.
Li Zhen's most important achievement was to help Zhu Wen firmly grasp the line of Chang'an during the rise of Zhu Wen, and later to welcome the emperor to Luoyang. Li Zhen also contributed the most. Zhu Wen killed the emperor and established a young man, usurping the Tang Dynasty to establish himself. Li Zhen undoubtedly contributed the most.
However, it was precisely because of this that he was not tolerated by the Later Tang Dynasty. After Li Cunxu captured Bianliang, even though Li Zhen had surrendered, he was still ordered to be executed by Li Cunxu.
"Ding, the third person, Zhang Chengye, has 50 in command, 42 in force, 94 in intelligence, and 97 in politics."
Who would have expected that the last loyal minister of the mighty Tang Dynasty would be the eunuch Zhang Chengye who lived in Jinyang.
Zhang Chengye was an important basic guarantee for the two heroes Li Keyong and Li Cunxu in the early Five Dynasties to compete in the Central Plains. Zhang Chengye's main role was to provide logistics for Li Keyong's expedition, and then played a perfect defense during the transfer of power between Li Keyong and Li Cunxu, including putting down Li Kening's rebellion.
In addition, Zhang Chengye has a very high level of structure. He can control the distribution of power and the unification of people's hearts within Hedong, twisting everyone into one, and assisting the king to achieve success. Li Cunxu went on an expedition, and basically left Zhang Chengye to guard Jinyang.
However, the goals of Li Cunxu and Zhang Chengye are different. Zhang Chengye assists the Li family because he wants to use the strength of the Li family to complete the goal of restoring the Tang Dynasty, while Li Cunxu's dream is to avenge the Zhu family of the Later Liang Dynasty and then achieve imperial status. In the end, Zhang Chengye saw His dream was hard to come true, so he died of depression and became the last loyal minister of the Tang Dynasty.
"Ding, the fourth person, Yang Bin, has 42 in command, 48 in force, 89 in intelligence, and 96 in politics."
Yang Bin, an important minister of the Later Han Dynasty, although his personal evaluation is not as good as that of Li Gu, Wang Pu and others, as the most capable minister of the Later Han Dynasty, Yang Bin's ability to achieve success in the chaotic Later Han Dynasty shows that his ability is extraordinary.
Yang Bin was frugal in his administration and would not accept bribes. If he could not refuse, he would accept them and hand them over to the emperor. In the Later Han Dynasty, he had a unique role.
"Ding, the fifth person, Yuan Xi, has 42 commander, 65 force, 100 intelligence, and 92 politics.
"Little Chen Ping" Yuan Xi, Yang Xingmi's confidant, was one of the most powerful counselors in the Ten Kingdoms during the Tang and Song Dynasties. He helped the little man Yang Xingmi dominate Huainan and Jiangzuo.
Yuan Xi was resourceful and resourceful and was Yang Xingmi's most important support. Like Jingxiang, he was the most powerful competitor for the number one counselor in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms. History has said that he "strategizes well, has no calculations, and is a good and average person."
His ability to strategize and win over thousands of miles is comparable to that of Zhang Liang and Chen Ping. He helped Yang Xingmi come out of the small Yangzhou and conquered half of Jiangnan and Huainan, laying the foundation for Yang Wu, one of the strongest in the Ten Kingdoms.
It seems that this time it is the turn of the Five Dynasties special show. The five characters are all from the Five Dynasties period.
"System, remove Yang Bin and Feng Dao, and choose between Li Zhen, Zhang Chengye, and Yuan Xi."
Among the five, Li Zhen and Yuan Xi have the strongest abilities, so they must be retained. Among the remaining three, although Feng Dao was stronger than Zhang Chengye, Li Xiang still kept Zhang Chengye.
