    Shangqiu County, Songzhou, is now Yingtianfu, the capital of the Song Dynasty. There are many soldiers and shops, and there is a constant flow of vehicles coming in and out, giving it a Kyoto atmosphere.  In the current Song Dynasty Palace, the largest palace in the city, dozens of Song Dynasty ministers and the emperor were discussing matters, discussing the direction of the main military attack, and there were great differences.  Zhao Kuangyi advocated attacking the Xiangzhou area and Luoyang first, and then attacking the Guannai Road. However, Li Ye, Minister of the Ministry of War, opposed it. He believed that marching to the west to start a war would easily be exploited by the Jin State. He should focus on attacking Dezhou in the north. He believed that Lu Tianfeng's influence on Yan was  The return to the country cannot be achieved quickly. We should take advantage of the instability in the Yan territory and march north to put Lu Tianfeng into a situation where he cares about one thing and not the other. Moreover, if the army goes north, it can join forces with Qi King Zhang Yongde.  Zhao Kuangyi still insisted on marching the army westward, believing that after advancing into the pass, he could quickly take over the west, which would not only destroy Lu Tianfeng's foundation, but also annex more military power. And marching into the north would certainly allow Lu Tianfeng to lose sight of one thing, but once the Yan region in the north was once again  Restoring the country would restrict the Song Dynasty's military strength in defending the north, and there would be famine and poor harvests in the north, making it difficult to obtain strategic supplies. In addition, if the army goes north, the Song Dynasty's territory will face threats from the west, and after all, Zhang Yongde is blocking it in the north.  .  Of course, some people proposed dividing the army to advance, but they were refuted by most people. The Song Dynasty had a million troops, but it was impossible to go out with a million troops. At least 400,000 troops should be left to guard Yingtian Mansion and Jianghuai. In fact, 400,000 troops were left behind.  The military strength to defend the territory is also very tight. The Jin State has a large number of warships that can carry heavy troops across the river at any time. The Song Dynasty has already sent people to negotiate with the Jin State, but there has been no response. Now in autumn, I heard that Taiyuan and Guanlong  They all had a good harvest of food. If Lu Tianfeng was allowed to continue to deepen his rule over the occupied areas, it would be increasingly detrimental to the Song Dynasty.  As for the attack on Kaifeng Mansion, the Song Dynasty has reached a consensus that it will not attack Kaifeng Mansion. First, there are more than 200,000 troops guarding Kaifeng Mansion. Second, many nobles in Kaifeng Mansion have great influence. Among Zhao Kuangyin's troops are  There are many generals who are close to the nobles of Kaifeng Mansion. Third, once they occupy Kaifeng Mansion, they will help Lu Tianfeng have a legitimate independent orthodoxy. Therefore, defeating Lu Tianfeng first is the key to getting everything, but we should march there.  , the differences are too great.  Finally, all the officials of the Song Dynasty looked at the emperor Zhao Kuangyin. Zhao Kuangyin raised his eyebrows slightly and said: "Qi Wang Zhang Yongde is willing to profess his vassalage to me because he has no choice. If the army goes north, Zhang Yongde will definitely misunderstand him. Instead, he will  They are constrained by mutual concerns, so they can only go west, so that Zhang Yongde can safely resist the attack from the north." The ministers nodded, and Zhao Kuangyin said again: "I ordered that Zhao Kuangmei stay for Yingtian Mansion, and Zhao Kuangyi stays for Jianghuai.  The defense envoys guarded Dajiang, and after three days they drew up 600,000 troops. I personally went to the west. "The officials of the Song Dynasty stood up and bowed in response. They dispersed to prepare for the war. Zhao Kuangyin stayed with the two Zhao brothers and talked for a long time.  ***** Lu Qi sent Xu Xuan away who was shocked and returned to the commander's tent to think for a moment. He wrote two letters and had them sent to Kaifeng Mansion to be handed over to Wei Guo Gong Shi Shouxin. The news of the northern victory arrived.  Lu Qi had already received a detailed report on the reaction of the Kaifeng Mansion. He knew that Shi Shouxin, who had never left the house, had left the house for the great victory in the north.  The messenger arrived at the Duke Wei's Mansion in Kaifeng and handed the letter to Shi Shouxin. Shi Shouxin opened it and said, "Please help me, Lord Wei, to kill one of the Longxi County Dukes, Tianfeng, by means of home invasion and robbery." Shi Shouxin.  After reading the letter, I was stunned. After a while, I returned the letter to the courier. Saying that I understand, the messenger left the Duke of Wei's mansion with Lu Qi's letter. The next day, the Longxi County Duke's mansion was attacked by thieves.  He was stabbed in the throat and died, and the valuables in the house were stolen by thieves.  Afterwards, the Kaifeng government office took over the case and after an investigation, it was classified as an ordinary robbery and murder case. It did not attract the attention of the Ministry of Punishment and Dali Temple at all, because the Longxi County Duke was a useless prisoner and there were many robberies in Kaifeng City.  Hui went on a grand hunt for the Duke of Longxi County. As soon as the Duke of Longxi County died, the eight soldiers on duty outside the gate were also withdrawn. During this extraordinary period, there was no official to investigate the crime. The soldiers on duty were transferred away.  The day after the Duke of Longxi died, the messenger came again and handed Shi Shouxin a second letter. The content was to explain why the Duke of Longxi was killed. Lu Qiyan understood the secret of his wife¡¯s parentage and the virtue of the Duke of Longxi. It was straightforward.  Tell Shi Shouxin that he cannot let the Duke of Longxi County become the father-in-law of the country in the future.  Shi Shouxin read the second letter, said nothing, and asked the messenger to take the letter back, but he kept it in his stomach, and his wife did not tell him. He understood that Lu Tianfeng did not ask anyone to assassinate him, but asked him to  Dai Zhu is actually a kind of intimate inquiry. If he does it, it is equivalent to a clear response to the intimacy. To put it bluntly, it has the meaning of a petition.  ***** When Lu Qi was planning for his future rule, he also got military information about Zhao Kuangyin's march to the west. He looked at the military information and shook his head with regret. In fact, he wasI hope Zhao Kuangyin's army will go north or attack Kaifeng Mansion.  However, as long as Zhao Kuangyin's army left the basic territory, it was destined to accelerate its demise. Lu Qi had never been in a hurry to let the Jin army cross the river, but was waiting for Zhao Kuangyin's army to separate into two halves.  Lu Qi sent a letter to Zhang Yongde of Daming Prefecture, urging Zhang Yongde to hand over military power. He promised to keep Zhang Yongde's status as county king, but Zhang Yongde refused his persuasion to surrender and bluntly told Lu Qi that Lu Qi was not qualified to ask him to surrender.  Lu Qi understood that Zhang Yongde was not convinced. If he was not convinced, he could only use force. He sent military orders to the sea and ordered the 200,000 troops standing by at sea to land on the Qingzhou coast. After that, the warships circled back to Jiangyin for a long distance.  If we can cross the river in time to attack Huainan, we can participate in transporting troops.  Two hundred thousand troops were ordered to land in Qingzhou (Shandong) on ??the southern coast of the Bohai Sea. Lu Qi had already sent troops to capture Qizhou, Qingzhou, Jezhou, Laizhou, and Dengzhou, and expelled or destroyed Zhang Yongde's garrison.  Officials welcomed the arrival of Lu Tianfeng's military force and expressed their respect for the imperial court.  200,000 sea reinforcements and seven army forces joined forces in Qizhou, and 100,000 customs troops from Taiyuan Prefecture also arrived in Qizhou to join forces. Nearly 500,000 troops rushed to Daming Prefecture in a mighty manner.  Zhang Yongde was shocked when he received the military intelligence report. Based on the military report, he had always estimated that Lu Tianfeng could gather up to 300,000 troops. Now there were actually 200,000 more troops. Could it be that they were transferred from Yandi?  However, according to detective reports, there was a fierce battle with the Liao army in Yandi.  Due to the unexpected seriousness of the military situation, Zhang Yongde had to give up the strategy of directly competing with Lu Tianfeng. His 300,000 troops only had 10,000 horse troops. A large part of the infantry was conscripted rural soldiers, and their combat capabilities were not as good as those of the regular Forbidden Army.  , mainly due to the rudimentary and lack of armaments. Without armored military strength, they will be weak in terms of combat effectiveness and fighting spirit.  Zhang Yongde was forced to divide his army to defend the city. He left 100,000 troops in Daming Prefecture to guard the city, and troops in other prefectures occupied the main cities to defend. Some of his subordinates advised him to divide his army and retreat to Jianghuai to join forces with the Song Dynasty court. Zhang Yongde did not adopt it, nor did he ask Da Ming to defend the city.  The Song court asked for help in an emergency.  As soon as the Seventh Army of Lu arrived at Daming Prefecture, they besieged Daming Prefecture with 200,000 troops, and began to conquer other prefectures with 300,000 troops. Basically, the army laid siege to the city and sent a surrender letter to the court without any charges. Zhang Yongde's remaining troops were  Kaicheng surrendered.  As for Daming Mansion, Lu Qi laid siege to the city for three days without attacking. After three days, he shot a letter. The city guard general rushed to the General Manager's Mansion and handed it over to Zhang Yongde. Zhang Yongde was dressed in gold armor and looked cold.  Opened the letter.  "The prince and I had tea at Nuanting, and we used to be respectful and harmonious. I know that the prince resented my arrogant behavior in Dezhou, so I would like to apologize to the prince. He spent his life as a soldier and guarded the north for the Zhou Dynasty for many years.  I think the prince should go to Youzhou to take a look at Yu Wang Lu Tianfeng during his lifetime. "Zhang Yongde stared at the letter in his hand. The generals on both sides looked stunned. Suddenly Zhang Yongde raised his hand to give the letter. The generals took the letter and looked at it.  There was an accident.  "Kaicheng." Zhang Yongde stood up and ordered.  The south gate of Daming Mansion opened, and Zhang Yongde led the general out of the city to surrender. After receiving the report, Lu Qi went out to greet him personally. After accepting the kneeling of Zhang Yongde and the general, he went into the barracks to drink and talk with Zhang Yongde.  Three days later, Zhang Yongde led 100,000 infantry and 10,000 horse troops to the north. Lu Qi appointed Zhang Yongde as the deputy guard in Youzhou, taking over Yang Yanzhao's original duties in Youzhou.
