When the rising sun rose on July 15, the situation in Tokyo had changed.

Wanshengmen has been controlled by the Tianzhu Army, and the Song army in Bianliang City was also shocked by the tragic phenomenon that occurred in front of Wanshengmen. The panic caused by the remnants of the fleeing soldiers spread throughout the city like a plague.

.

Fortunately, Tokyo Bianliang is like Taiyuan, with outer city and Li (Zi) city. Wanshengmen belongs to the outer city, and there is also a Licheng defense circle, which is the last barrier of Bianliang City, which can be used to resist--In fact,

The last barrier should be the imperial city within the inner city. However, even if Du and Guo had the courage to splash the sky, they would not dare to use the imperial city as a barrier, so naturally they would not forget it.

The embarrassment of fellow Taoist Guo Zhongxun also shocked Du Chong. Then he summoned Zong Ying and asked him to cooperate, persuade the troops of the remaining departments to gather the troops from Tokyo to attack the thief head of Tianshu City and regain the Wansheng Gate.

Zong Ying was just silent after listening to Guo Zhongxun’s description of the battle at Wanshengmen, and sighed silently: “The Heavenly Slaughter Army was the most powerful soldier in the Song Dynasty that Ying saw; the City Lord Di was also the one who saw Ying.

The first general of the Song Dynasty. Such a strong army and such a strong man should only unite, but not make enemies. Ying's words are all here. Please think twice. My father's coffin is stationed in Daxiangguo Temple, and he is asking a monk to recite the Dharma and pass the ferry.

Ying wants to go to guard the spirit, and he values ​​filial piety, so he will not be with him."

Seeing Zong Ying's graceful figure, Du Chong had a gloomy face and didn't speak for a long time. After a long time, he said to Guo Zhongxun, who looked like a defeated rooster beside him: "Brother Shixian, you can still

Get some troops?"

At this time, Guo Zhongxun had already lost his previous arrogance. He smiled bitterly: "Guo only controls part of the left-behind Siyou Army. The total is only more than 3,000 people. In the battle in front of Wansheng Gate, nearly half of the losses were lost.

.The rest of the troops have already lost their morale. How can they still dispatch troops to fight for the city gate? In my opinion, they can only wait for Sang Zhong, Li Heng, Li Zhong, and Liu Zhong to wipe out the camps that united the Hebei army and then order them.

All the generals will return to the aid. At that time, there will be at least tens of thousands of troops, and then they will cooperate with our troops and outside to have a chance of victory."

Du Chong nodded, Guo Zhongxun said that he was right. For the current plan, he could only wait a moment ago. He only regretted that the thief leader of Tianshu City had left one move, and he wanted to be a secret move.

It's even more hateful that I just took over the left-behind seal, and I didn't have time to control everything, especially the army... But if I can achieve two or three months of operation, I can integrate the military and political affairs of Tokyo, why did I fall into such a four-step situation

A situation of asking for help?

Du Chong was secretly hated and waited hard, but what he finally waited for was a bolt from the blue.

At dusk, a cavalry of the Tianzhu Army rushed to the Liangmen of Bianliangli City, threw several thick packages in front of the city gate, ignoring the shiny arrowheads on the top of the city. He whistled, and his hooves were sounded

As a result, it gradually fades away.

After a while, seeing nothing unusual, a soldier sitting on the basket was placed on the top of the city. He trembled and put the packages into the basket and slowly rose up. When the soldiers on the top of the city held a torch and surrounded him.

When he opened the package, he was shocked and hurriedly sent the item to the left-behind mansion.

When Du Chong and Guo Zhongxun saw these packages, they were also shocked to change their color.

Sang Zhong, Li Zhong, and Liu Zhong, three bloody heads.

These three heads clearly informed Du and Guo to stay behind, and informed the end of the three armies they had high hopes. At that time, it was easy to defeat the enemy on the battlefield, but it was difficult to annihilate; it was easy to capture and kill soldiers, and it was easy to capture and kill them.

It is difficult for the main general to be killed. If even the main general is killed, then the outcome of his army under his command can naturally be imagined.

It took Guo Zhongxun a long time to return to his normal face, but he was still in the mood to say something funny: "I'm still missing Li Heng's head..."

Du Chong looked at the deputy speechlessly, and he had no intention of refuting. He was unable to lean on the back of the chair and looked at the beam of the room in a daze. After a while, he seemed to be muttering to himself, and seemed to be asking Guo Zhongxun.

: "What Zong Min said seems to be nothing!"

Guo Zhongxun said depressedly: "I have asked some soldiers who went north with Zongmin. There is indeed some ghost tricks in this Tianshu City. I have seen his soldiers fighting with Jin cavalry, so they could make loud fire and thunder, which was easy to use.

Defeat the Golden Cavalry. I didn't really believe it, but what I saw in Wanshengmen during the day was indeed an unprecedented weapon. With such a powerful army, I attacked Sang, Li and Liu, and killed Liu Zhong.

, it’s not impossible.”

Du Chong's face looked extremely ugly, his fists were clenched, and his voice seemed to be like a crack in his teeth: "Kill my subordinates, save all righteous thieves, take this kind of favor and win over people's hearts, it's easy. Du's wedding dress is for others

…”

Guo Zhongxun said in a harsh tone: "In this way, at most days, Di can join the bandits in Hebei and add tens of thousands of troops to besiege our Bianliang City at any time."

Du Chong's expression changed, and he was surprisingly silent for a while. Suddenly, he exhaled a long breath of turbid air, raised his clothes, and laughed to the sky: "Okay, okay, Di Lie, I am worthy of being a hero! In this game, Du is considered to be

If we lose, we are willing to accept the loss - we will ask Zong Minzhi to come out tomorrow and let him negotiate with Di Lie, and it is possible to join forces. Du Chong wishes to sign all peace talks with him in the name of being the governor of Kaifeng, as the name of the prefect of Tokyo."

Guo Zhongxun stared at Du Chong who was turning 180 degrees in a daze, unable to speak... and there was really nothing to say.

...

On July 16th, Zong Ying was ordered to leave the city and represent the remaining residence in Tokyo to formally negotiate with Tianshu City. On the Tianshu City side, Ma Kuo, the magistrate of Jinan Prefecture, was sent to negotiate with him.

At the same time, the troops of the sixteen counties and other fortresses under Kaifeng Prefecture, including the Bazi Army stationed in Huazhou, were all left behind as Tokyo and deputy left behind as Kaifeng Prefecture (Zong Ying's new position, Du

, Guo and the other two recommended it and reported to Yangzhou to submit an approval notice, requiring each army to defend its own city and strictly prevent the Jin army. The civil strife has been settled, and each army is strictly prohibited from intervening privately. Those who violate the order will be punished for chaos.

.

In fact, the officers and soldiers stationed in the sixteen counties and various fortresses did not want to wade into this muddy water at all. For example, when Li Heng and Li Zhong besieged Zhang Yong of Heiyang Mountain, the adjacent Yangwu City defenders did not participate.

It was just to provide food and accommodation for the two Li soldiers. Therefore, after a briefing, the soldiers of the left-behind departments were hesitant and waited and stabilized, and stopped, and sat down to watch the rebels outside the city being beaten by the army of tyranny.

One inclusion and integration.

The Tianzhu army was at the city. Du Chong, who was sitting in a distressed city, finally gave up the power to recruit the Hebei rebel army. At the same time, he put forward the attitude of peacefully resolving the matter. This was exactly the result Di Lie wanted. He neither had enough strength.

There was no enough time, and there was no enough reason to besiege Tokyo. What he wanted was only these hundreds of thousands of people. Since Du Chong gave it to him, he naturally would not do anything for himself and would stop when he saw it.

Starting from the 16th, the entire Beijing road was busy, and all the civil and military generals and officials gathered in Tokyo were busy. Fu Xuan was backed by Zhang Rong's army. In Zhang Yong and Li Bao,

With the assistance of Li Gui, Ding Jin and other rebel leaders who survived the disaster, they made every effort to reorganize the chaotic and disorderly rebel army in Hebei. Ma Kuoze and Zong Ying stepped up the negotiation process; Zhang Rui led 500 troops to garrison Wanshengmen and maintain

Pressure on Bianliang; Di Lie brought Zhao Jian and a team of hunting soldiers to visit the left-behind officers and soldiers of the sixteen counties and the fortresses, and of course, the Bazi Army of Huazhou.

Five days later, the results were quite good.

Fu Xuan's incorporation operation went smoothly. I have to say that Du Chong's ruthless move against the Hebei rebel army this time was a bad intention to do good things. Among the Hebei rebel army, Wang Shan and Yang Jin, including their subordinates

More than 80% of the trusted leaders were killed. The top leaders of the two villages were cleaned up and their power was greatly vacuumed. At this time, whoever grasped the leadership of these two major forces would be able to re-cultivate the backbone.

The reshuffle was to erase the influence of Wang and Yang. The two armies were completely controlled by themselves.

The incorporation of an army is nothing more than the eight-character decision of "equality and power, and power". Tianshu City has the grace of reincarnation against the Hebei rebel army to turn the tide and fall, and it also has the power to break three thousand enemies in half a day. As for power and

In terms of profit, it was recognized by Wang Shan and Yang Jinshang Jian earlier. All the conditions are met, and the inclusion will naturally come naturally and be smooth and free.

Although the rebel soldiers lost more than 10,000 yuan and the people suffered tens of thousands of casualties during this battle, it is still worth it to pay such a price to get a quick and complete merger opportunity.

Di Lie personally took action and tried his best to lobby the army of the left-behind officials. Zhao Jian also revealed his identity as a Duke and showed up. Many soldiers of the left-behind officials were dissatisfied with Du Chong since Zong Xiang's death. They heard about the favorable situation in Taiyuan, and also

It is the place where the royal family is upright, and there are many people who are moved. They intend to move north with the Hebei rebel army. Di Lie also threw an olive branch to Wang Gui and Xu Qing. These two generals have witnessed the Tianzhu Army's hunting soldiers and the Bian River annihilated Jin soldiers, and

With just over 2,000 troops, Tokyo was turned upside down, and I was also yearning for it, but there was still something that was not yet settled - what does the eldest brother Yue Fei mean?

If Yue Fei stayed in Taiyuan, Wang and Xu Er General would naturally move north without saying a word. But if Yue Fei only took his family and young people to rotate back half a year later, then they would do so

It went against Brother Yue's wishes. Therefore, Wang and General Xu said that this matter could not be decided immediately and must wait for Brother Yue to reply before talking.

Di Lie expressed his understanding - under his own "care" of his key points, Yue Fei will definitely not be able to come back. Therefore, it will be a matter of time before Wang Gui and Xu Qing go north to Taiyuan.

As expected, the Bazi Army is indeed worthy of being Wang Yan's loyalty. No senior generals above the commander or above are willing to submit. However, some commanders, deputy generals and military soldiers defeated Sang Zhong on the Tianzhu Army. After the two Li Dajun, they did not

He drove out all the killings, but instead gave timely assistance, and the prisoners were not abused, and they were even released to Huazhou to express their gratitude. He felt that there was no hope of staying in the Eight Characters Army, so he turned to Tianshu City. There were about a thousand people in this part, plus

The family members are 3,000, but the number is not large, but it is a weather vane. I believe that as time goes by, the soldiers of the Eight Characters will one day realize who is the real and reliable choice.

The work of recruiting rebel officers and soldiers here is in full swing, and the negotiation process is coming to an end. Tianshu City's requirements are not too high, and Ma Kuo is the top diplomat of this era and a veteran in negotiating, so naturally he will be the only one.

It has won quite good results for Tianshu City.

The Tokyo Left-behind Office agreed that all Hebei rebels go north through the Huazhou Yellow River Bridge, and provide hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians who have moved north for a month, and provide some vehicles, mules, horses, cattle and sheep and other migrations, daily necessities. The Left-behind Office will send a message to the general.

Go to the Amway Army and Xiangzhou, and provide convenience along the way and ensure safety.

In Tianshu City, after the migration was completed, the Tianbo Navy immediately withdrew from Wanshengmen. During this period, it was guaranteed not to launch an attack on Bianliang City and its affiliated prefectures and counties. During the Tianbo Navy's stay at Wanshengmen, it was necessary to provide food and fodder.

, supplied by Bianliang City. In addition, the left-behind department expressed great apology for the "mistake attack on the lord of Tianshu City" and was willing to compensate for some money, grain and wealth. As for the specific amount, both parties sent eye-catching officials to discuss it in detail. Anyway, regarding the compensation results, Di

Lie Ting is satisfied.

The above are the main conditions, and later there are some details, including the mutual assistance and friendly exchanges between Taiyuan and Tokyo mentioned by Zong Ying. However, these things have no meaning after Zong Ze's death - Du Chong's

Tokyo and Soze's Tokyo are two different things. Nowadays, Tianshu City and Tokyo are like two opponents who are chatting and laughing at a banquet, but have murderous intentions. They are separated by a table, and they may draw their swords at any time.

Unsheathed, fight together...

Di Lie came to Tokyo and wanted population, food and fodder. If possible, he would squeeze out some wealth. Now, he has all these. As for Tokyo, Du Chong... no matter how he goes to death, he will not be able to do it all the time. If he misses it, then

Don't blame heaven and others.

Now, what attracted Di Lie's attention was a chart presented by Zhang Rong.

This sea chart drawn on silk silk marks in detail the journey from Jinan along the Ji River, through Zibo and Qingzhou, and into the sea, which is Laizhou Bay in the Bohai Sea in later generations. The whole journey is only more than 300 miles.

The estuary marks two routes to the north and south.

Go north, bypass the Yellow River estuary, travel 400 miles, and arrive at Niguzhai, Cangzhou (now the estuary of Tianjin). This is the goal that Zhang Rong set with the army leader Di Lie when he led Tianboying out of Taihang. Of course, press

The original plan was not the time to capture Niguzhai, but to find a place in Bohai Bay for future "frog jumping combat". What is more shaking is that there is nothing along the coast of the Tianjin section of Bohai Bay.

Island. Zhang Rong sent a fleet to search along the coast for a long time before finding a relatively decent strip island nearly 200 miles away from Nigu Village.

Di Lie from Shandong later generations was quite familiar with Bohai Bay, and there were few islands here, so it was easy to remember if there was one. So he could tell at a glance that this was Caofeidian in later generations. At this time, Caofeidian was

It was just an unknown and uninhabited deserted island. The Tianbo Navy naturally easily occupied it and used it as a base. It hoarded rice and grain, built wharfs, warehouses, and residences, and it was quite large.

Considering that with the rise of Tianshu City, we would sooner or later deal with Jianyan Dynasty. With the plan to prepare for the future, Zhang Rong went north at the suggestion of Zheng Wo of Liangshan Village and sent a ship south to the East China Sea, and in later generations

The Shengsi Islands occupies a small island.

Di Lie praised Zhang Rong's active attack and decided to divide some of the soldiers and civilians from Qingzhou and Zibo in the Hebei rebel army to enrich Liangshanzhai and Tianbo Division. Among them, Li Bao and

The military and civilians of Hedongzizhai.

When the two senior executives of the Tianzhu Army were discussing the two maritime bases in the south and north, the manufacturing of sea boats, the composition of seafarers, and the sea fishing issues, hunting guards sent urgent documents.

Di Lie opened his eyes and smiled at the corner of his mouth: "Taiyuan Military Newspaper, the Five Horse Brigade had captured Liaozhou the day before yesterday, and the troops were approaching Huangzezhai, threatening Wu'an in Cizhou. The conditions for moving north to hundreds of thousands of soldiers and civilians in Hebei are ripe.
