In October of the eighth year of Xingwu, the Second Northern Expedition began; In November of the eighth year of Xingwu, the East Route Army fought a bloody battle against Jining, and after ten days of strong attack, Jining was captured; In December of the eighth year of Xingwu, the West Route Army fought a bloody battle in Chang'an, and for a long time The attack failed, and the siege began; at the same time, the Central Route Army stormed Bianliang, and with internal help, Bianliang was easily defeated; the Hedong Rebel Army, Wang Yanbu led an army to attack Qinyang, and won a great victory, and the three thousand Jin Army was annihilated; In January of the ninth year of Xingwu, Dong The Route Army's attack on Jinan was frustrated, with 10,000 soldiers lost. In March of the ninth year of Xingwu, the West Route Army captured Chang'an and soon broke into Luoyang. In May of the ninth year of Xingwu, the Jin Army dug into the Yellow River and flooded the Song Army. Thirty thousand Song Army They were annihilated; stabbed to death. In the countryside of Bianliang, there was a cavalry duel. The Song cavalry defeated the Jin cavalry, and all five thousand Jin cavalry were wiped out. In July of the ninth year of Xingwu, Han Shizhong led 30,000 cavalry to attack Liaodong and defeated the Eighteen Villages. , the army came to Huining City. After the bloody battle, Han Shizhong led his army to escape. In September of the ninth year of Xingwu, there was a great battle in Jinan and Jinan was besieged. Yue Fei led his army to defeat Jin Wushu's reinforcements. At this time, the canal was cut off by the Jin Army cavalry, and 300,000 tons of grain were burned; In December of the ninth year of Xingwu, the West Route Army captured the entire territory of Guanzhong and marched to the east of Hedong; the Middle Route Army arrived in the southeast of Hedong and fought with Wang Yan The rebel armies gathered together and marched to Taiyuan, but failed in a bloody battle. The Eastern Route Army underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly, but was ambushed by the Jin Army and defeated by 30,000 soldiers. Time passed in a blink of an eye, and a year passed. At this time, it was already 1235 AD. It has been eight years since he became emperor, and Zhao Pu has also changed from the flowery young man to an uncle. The once playful and youthful temperament has gradually become older. Everything is perfect! " He has supreme power, and he has slept with more than a dozen women. It can be said that he is drunk and lying on the lap of a beautiful woman, and he wakes up to have the power to kill. The only drawback is that there are no children. This problem is very worrying, and the imperial doctor has checked it countless times. I drank countless medicines and took many home remedies, but it still didn't work. Many ministers proposed to establish a prince early, but Zhao Pu rejected them. The Northern Expedition lasted for a year. East Road, Middle Road, West Road, North Road, four armies. On the battlefield, they all performed well. The battle line advanced from the Huaihe Qinling Mountains to the Yellow River. In Hedong, Hebei and other places, Song and Jin were in fierce confrontation. During this year, the Song army also suffered many defeats. In the battle to attack Guanzhong. The Song Army was defeated five times in a row and lost 20,000 people; the Middle Route Army fell into the Jin Army's flood plan and suffered as many as 30,000 casualties; while the East Route Army went deep alone and was ambushed by the Jin Army, killing and wounding 30,000 people. As many as ten thousand. The Jin army attacked the baggage again and burned a lot of food and grass. And when attacking some cities heavily guarded by the Jin army, countless people died. A rough calculation shows that during the Northern Expedition, the Song Army lost 150,000 troops. At this moment, Zhao Pu truly realized that one general¡¯s success would destroy thousands of bones! Countless parents. Sons have been lost; countless sons have lost their fathers; countless women have lost their husbands; countless families have lost their backbone. In short, many people are crying and sad. However, Zhao Pu couldn¡¯t cry. There was no trace of sadness, more numbness. In the eyes of those in power, they are just numbers. The Song army suffered heavy losses, and the Jin army also suffered heavy losses. ??During the reinforcement battle at the encirclement point in Jinan. There were 30,000 reinforcements, but Yue Fei took them away; in the middle road, in the battle on the outskirts of Bianliang, more than 7,000 Jin cavalry were killed; in the siege battles, more than 50,000 Jin troops were killed; and in the west, more than 7,000 Jin cavalry were killed. During the battle on the front line, he ambushed and cut off the 20,000 Jin army. There are many, at least more than 100,000 Jin soldiers died on the battlefield. War is like this. No one can guarantee victory in every battle, and no one can guarantee that we will not fall into the enemy's scheme. It¡¯s like in the battle of Bianliang. In the morning, the Jin army released water and flooded 30,000 Song troops. In the afternoon, the Song army defeated the Jin Army¡¯s cavalry and killed 7,000 cavalry. When the Jin Army was planning to flood the Song Army, the Song Army was also planning to annihilate the Jin Army's cavalry. As a result, both sides¡¯ calculations were successful! At this moment, Zhao Pu seemed to be playing chess with Jin Wushu. They were constantly fighting each other, with each other winning or losing. Every moment, a chess piece was lost. It¡¯s a pity that this is not chess. ??At least playing chess is a fair duel, with the number of pieces on both sides being equal. But on the battlefield, there is no such thing as fairness. With the strong national power of the Song Dynasty, follow-up troops and logistical supplies were continuously supplied; but the Jin Kingdom was short of materials, troops, and everything, and the more it fought, the harder it became. Of course, due to the lengthened front line of the Song Army,Logistics supply was difficult and the battle damage was serious. If we want to continue to push northward, we are a little powerless. If we push forward forcefully, we may be defeated. Need some rest! Before the Northern Expedition, Zhao Pu was thinking about which one was the main attack and which one was the side force, and whether to attack clockwise or counterclockwise. Now, thinking about it, it¡¯s a bit ridiculous! On the battlefield, there is no difference between a partial division and a main attack. Whoever can fight, who can win, and whoever suffers less losses in battle is the main force. What Zhao Pu can do is only send various grain, grass and equipment to the front line according to needs and battlefield conditions. At this moment, the mission of the West Route Army is to defend Guanzhong and prevent the Jin Army from attacking; while the Middle Route Army is near Taiyuan, confronting the Jin Army; and the East Route Army is to threaten Youyun and contain most of the Jin Army's forces. Rescue other routes; as for the North Route Army, it wants to disrupt the Jin Army's lair and render it unable to rescue the front line. Before the Northern Expedition, many of the assumptions that Zhao Pu had made were overturned. In the next few months, the Song Army needs to rest and recuperate on the one hand, and on the other hand, it must stabilize its front to prevent the Jin Army from imitating the past; and officials from various places also need to take office one after another to rebuild their homes in the ruins. Of course, this is all just a plan! Plans always fail to keep up with changes! No one knows what tricks the Jin army will use or what methods they will use to attack the Song army. Some fronts may be lost; some areas of confrontation may be repeated. The war situation changes, and no one can predict the changes at the next moment. ¡¡¡¡¡ The sound of firecrackers sounds crisp, it¡¯s another New Year! ??The fireworks outside the window are brilliant, the night is extremely brilliant, and the night is mixed with the joyful screams of children. The tenth year of Xingwu is here! The people of Hangzhou are celebrating, and the whole Jiangnan is celebrating, not only because of the victory of the Second Northern Expedition. If we say the first Northern Expedition was to test the waters, it was to boost the morale of the people to fight against the Jin Dynasty. The purpose of this Northern Expedition was to conquer the lost territory. At this moment, the front line had advanced to the line of the Yellow River. As for how many people died and how much supplies were lost, these civilians don¡¯t know. ??????????? In official public opinion, good news is reported but not bad news. Great victories on the front line are always publicized with great fanfare, while losses on the front line are covered up in a low-key manner. This gave the people the feeling that the Jin army was like a chicken and a dog after winning battles repeatedly. "It's just that the people can be misled and deceived by lies about victory, but Zhao Pu cannot be deceived by lies. The battle situation on the front line is still tense. Once a big mistake is made, the success will be defeated. "Your Majesty, it's the New Year!" "It's the New Year!" It's the New Year. It's a happy day, but Zhao Pu can't be happy. "Your Majesty, don't think about the Northern Expedition! During the Chinese New Year, we only talk about family affairs, not state affairs!" Ruixue said at the side. "It's just a little sad and a little lonely!" Zhao Pu said, he suffered from depression, hopeless depression. The concubines around him always tried their best to make him happy and smile more, but he just couldn't smile and always thought about troubles. "Father is dead!" In July last year, Song Huizong died without any illness. He died like this. At that time, Zhao Pu was busy with political affairs and fighting on the front line, so he didn't pay much attention at all. The ministers in the DPRK did not pay much attention. After all, the emperor was far away from the political power and had minimal influence on political affairs. Go in a hurry without taking a single cloud with you! At that time, he left quietly and was buried in a hurry behind the Taoist temple. There is no emperor's burial chamber and no grand funeral. It's like a Taoist priest has left this world. It wasn¡¯t until September that Zhao Pu got the news. Thinking about it now, I feel vaguely regretful. "Your Majesty, don't think too much!" Ruixue could only console her. "Well, I understand!" Zhao Pu nodded in agreement, "Let's go, New Year's dinner, it's time to start! Another wonderful year!" It gets better every year!
