In May of the first year of Jingkang, the Song Dynasty ordered Zhong Shizhong to march west from Jingxing in order to relieve the siege of Taiyuan, Yao Gu's army to march from Changzhi, and Zhang Hao's army to march north from Fenzhou.

After the Zhong Family Army regained Shouyang, they did not see the other two armies for a long time. The Zhong Army had grown up in the military since childhood and was not ignorant of military affairs, so they led the main force back to Zhending stationed behind Jingxing.

Although there are doubts in the division, among the three armies, the Zhong Family Army has the longest distance and Zhang Hao Army has the shortest distance. According to common sense, the Zhong Family Army should be the last one to arrive.

But at that time, one of the worries was that the other two armies had encountered the Jin army, and the other was that the imperial court had other plans. After all, changing orders from morning to night had become the norm in the Song Dynasty...

Therefore, the Zhongshi at that time did not worry too much. In his eyes, as long as the three armies arrived together, Taiyuan would definitely be able to win.

But until the Privy Council's order to urge troops came down, there was no news from the other two armies.

When the Zhongshi asked the envoy from Bianjing, they only received the reply that "the old general is only the commander of one army, but not the commander of the three armies."

Not only that, the Privy Council didn't even ask for a reason, and directly gave him the title of "fear of the enemy".

This made the young masters feel sad and angry, so they had to lead their troops to attack, and finally ended up like this.

When they arrived in Yuci, Huang You, the forward general of the Zhong Family Army, had already sensed that something was wrong. He repeatedly warned the Zhong Army to retreat, but was not adopted.

What Huang You can see, can the cultivator not see?

Since you can see it, why should you persist in moving forward?

Even after trusting the other two armies, they also received the order from the Privy Council to urge troops.

Even if you believe in the other two armies, just like yourself, you will be given the title of fearing the enemy.

Even if you believe in the other two armies, under such heavy pressure, they will definitely rush to Taiyuan at all costs like yourself!

It is a pity that until his death, the army of Yao Gu and Zhang Hao was not seen in the army.

Of course, if the cultivator dies, the master cultivator will not let it go.

On the day he received the news, Mr. Souchong, the manager, slapped the knife on Li Gang's table.

In this way, we have just learned some details of this battle.

Zhang Hao's father, Zhang Xiaochun, the governor of Hedong Province, had surrendered to the Jin people.

This can be proven when he became the prime minister of Da Qi in the future. Of course, he also sent some news to the Song Dynasty later. For example, Emperor Liu Lin of Da Qi wanted to use Huang Tingjian's ink to dedicate to Zhao Gou in an attempt to assassinate him.

He leaked the secret.

This is a story for later, but at that time, the army led by Zhang Hao naturally had no reason to advance.

Yao Gu, like the Zhong family, also came from the northwest.

The children of the two families have always been competitive and unwilling to give up.

And this time in the siege of Taiyuan, Yao Gu was the commander-in-chief, and Zhong Shizhong was only the deputy commander.

He was not willing to be driven by the masters, and he did not want to be coveted by him, the number one skill in Taiyuan. This was one of the reasons why Yao Gu stood still.

Secondly, after defeating Zhong Shizhong, the Jin army continued to take advantage of the situation to move southward and fought fiercely in Pantuo for several days. In the end, Yao Gu was defeated and had to retreat to Longde, which was overwhelming.

The reason why he was not moved by the Privy Council's order to urge troops was because compared to the Privy Council's intelligence that "the Jin people are about to retreat across the board", Yao Gu received completely opposite news.

Not only will the Jin people not retreat, but they will raise a large number of troops and press the border across the board.

In this way, the Yao army, which was originally stationed in Longde and Weisheng, had just suffered a defeat, and its morale had been shaken. At the suggestion of Yao Gu commander Jiao Anjie, the commander Yao Gu abandoned the city and fled.

Longde is only a distance from Bianjing by the Yellow River. After Yao Gu's repeated defeats, Bianjing city was once again exposed to the eyes of the Jin people.

"In order to appease the anger of my Zhong family, Li Gang later beheaded Jiao Anjie, and Yao Gu was also exiled to Lingnan. It was only the year before last that the Zhong family found him and cut off his head."

This is the whole story of the Yuci War, but this girl from the Zhong family did not shy away from telling the story of the murder in front of the emperor.

In her eyes, the emperor Zhao Laojiu was greedy for life and afraid of death, and was extremely timid... Mo Jian looked calm now, and finished his words by himself, which would inevitably cost him his life.

It's no different from what Fohai said, but with some added details.

As for Yao Gu being still alive, Liu Bang didn't expect that he would just be exiled if he committed such a thing. The Song Dynasty was also quite generous towards military generals.

"That Zhang Jun..."

She didn't know why, but when she saw Yang Yizhong's painful expression, she felt a little relieved.

Seeing the emperor asking again at this moment, she didn't even think about it and just cursed angrily:

"That ungrateful bastard, talking about him makes my mouth dirty!"

The charming energy from before is completely gone.

After she scolded her for a long time, she looked at Yang Yizhong and said:

"Yang Duzhi should be aware of this matter. That man did not appreciate the kindness of the Zhong family to him, but instead flirted with the Yao family. He is really a slave with three surnames."

Zhang Jun... was flirting with the Yao family?

"He, who was born as a soldier in the countryside, did not become a scholar until he was thirty years old. How come he is now the number one general in the Song Dynasty?"

Xu Chengxinlang was the lowest-ranking military officer in the Song Dynasty. According to Zhang Jun's current age of fifty-three or four, it only took him about twenty years to go from the lowest to the highest.

Although it is not as good as his own rise from pavilion chief to emperor, it is already unbelievable to most people in this world.

Yang Yizhong remained silent. Unlike people like Liu Qi and Wu Lin, Zhang Jun and Yue Fei could indeed be regarded as outliers in the Song Dynasty army.

Even I, who has been in the military for several generations in my family, also carry the identity of 'General of the Yang Family'.

"Later, people in the Zhong family learned that Zhang Jun had already joined the Yao family when he was in Fengxiang Mansion. He came to my Zhong family just to be an informant for the Yao family."

"The intelligence received by the Privy Council was sent by Zhang Jun at the request of Yao Gu. Yao Gu's original intention was to let me take the lead and consume the Jin people's fresh troops. Then his Yao family's army came out from behind and took over. This is a fisherman’s profit.”

"So, Your Majesty the Emperor, you now know why Yao Guhui stood still despite the Privy Council's order to urge troops?"

"Because the news that the Jin people are about to go all-in is false. It was originally released by Yao Gu himself!"

"If this is the case, how could he lead his troops to advance if he knew it was false news?"

"Later on, the news that the Jin people were about to attack the entire border was released by Captain Zhang."

"I think this man saw the power of the Jin man in Yuci and was frightened out of his wits. He released such news, which made his master suffer the crime he deserved."

"It's just a pity that this soldier of the Song Dynasty was deceived by a few slaves of the Yao family and lost his life for no apparent reason."

Liu Bang was shocked when he heard this.

This kind of thing happens on the battlefield...

It’s no different than child’s play!

There are those who are foolish and loyal, such as Zhongshi, those who are greedy for merit, such as Yao Gu, those who have their hearts in the enemy camp, such as Zhang Hao, and those who believe in intelligence such as the Privy Council of the Song Dynasty...

Even if one person were more normal, the Song Kingdom would not have fallen to this level!

Probably because of some inexplicable feeling in his heart, Liu Bang drank several glasses of wine in succession.

But I heard Yang Yizhong, who had been silent since the mother-in-law spoke, said:
Chapter completed!
