The Xia people had conflicts because Li Xianzhong was determined to the Song Dynasty. The Xia people sent the Iron Harrier Army to attack Li Xianzhong's army, and Li Xianzhong led his troops to resist. He rushed into the enemy's formation with both swords and fought bravely. The Xia soldiers were defeated and killed and trampled on about 10,000 people. Li Xianzhong seized about 400 Xia people's war horses. So Li Xianzhong took the lead in recruiting soldiers, and recruited more than 10,000 people within a dozen days.

So Li Xianzhong led the recruited soldiers to join the Song army in Sichuan, and there were already 40,000 troops along the way. Wu Jie, the Sichuan Xuanfu envoy, sent someone to comfort Li Xianzhong, and gave him a reward, and was appointed as the commander and the envoy of Xuan. Li Xianzhong went to Lin'an and was received by Zhao Gou. Zhao Gou was repeatedly pacified, and gave him the name Xianzhong, and gave him Tian Zhenjiang, and Cui Gao and others as their generals.

After the Song and Jin peace talks, the Jin people did not defend the alliance, and Jin Wushu sent troops to invade the south twice in a row. In the ninth year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu's troops invaded Henan. The court ordered Li Xianzhong to be the commander of the former army of the Recruitment Office, and defeated the Jin soldiers with General Li Gui in Lingbi County. In the eleventh year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu led his army to attack Song and captured Hefei. Zhao Gou ordered all the troops to fight against the Jin soldiers together, and ordered Li Xianzhong's army to meet with Zhang Jun's army. Li Xianzhong's army first went to Kongcheng Town to repel the Jin soldiers.

In the 29th year of Shaoxing, the Jin people destroyed the peace agreement and sent troops to invade the south. The Song court ordered Li Xianzhong to lead his troops and horses to resist the enemy. Li Xianzhong sent the commander Wei Yongshou to lead 200 cavalry to kill the 5,000 Jin troops, and fought with more than 10,000 Jin troops. Li Xianzhong personally led the cavalry to fight. From the morning to noon, the Song army became more and more brave and rushed to the enemy with a big sword. The Jin soldiers could not resist and were defeated and left. In this battle, many enemies were killed. When Wanyan Liang sent troops to invade the south, Wang Quan was dismissed from office because of his unauthorized retreat, Li Xianzhong was ordered to replace his position.

When Wanyan Liang heard this, he became even more angry, so he summoned Liang Hanchen and shouted loudly: "You first advise me to cross the river. Don't you know that there is Li Shifu?" Before he finished speaking, he drew his sword and killed Liang Hanchen into two pieces. He ordered people to destroy the Dragon and Phoenix Boat. Even the boat-building worker was killed and led his troops to Yangzhou.

Li Xianzhong has always been feared by the Jin people, so Yu Yunwen has made a fuss. Soon Li Xianzhong came and Yu Yunwen met very happily and said to him: "The enemy will enter Yangzhou and must join the navy of Guazhou. Jingkou is not prepared. I should go to garrison. Can the public divide the troops to help?" Li Xianzhong said: "What's wrong with both imperial officers?" So he divided 6,000 troops to Yu Yunwen. Yu Yunwen came to Jingkou today to pay homage to Liu Qi.

Soon, Zhao Gou issued an edict to Cheng Min as the envoy of Huaidong, Li Xianzhong as the envoy of Huaixi, Wu Gong as the envoy of Hubei, and Jingxi. At this time, Yang Cunzhong also came to guard Jingkou. In the 11th year of Shaoxing, Jin Wushu was ashamed of being defeated by Shunchang and planned to invade the south. The imperial court ordered the army from all over the country to gather in Huaixi to wait for the enemy. Yang Yizhong led 30,000 troops in the front office to guard the Huaihe River, and fought fiercely with the Jin army in Zhegao to defeat the Jin army.

At that time, Zhang Jun was appointed as the envoy of Xuanfu, Yang Yizhong was appointed as the deputy envoy, Liu Qi was appointed as the judge, Wang De was appointed as the commander, Tian Shizhong, and Zhang Zigai was appointed as the commander. The Jin army used a crutch horse to protect the two wings to advance, Yang Yizhong said: "The enemy relies on the bow and arrow, and I have a way to deal with it." Ten thousand people were holding long axes and advancing like city walls. The troops were clamoring to fight. The Jin army was defeated and retreated to Zijin Mountain. In this battle, nine hundred soldiers were lost, and tens of thousands of Jin army suffered casualties, but the siege of Haozhou was still not resolved.

Zhang Jun and Yang Yizhong, Liu Qi first planned to discuss the training. It happened that someone told the way to Haozhou.

The road was clear, and Zhang Jun said to Liu Qi: "I plan to station troops with Yang Cunzhong on the Huai River to appease the people of Haoliang, and then take Xuanhua to return to Jinling, and Yang Cunzhong crosses Guazhou and returns to Lin'an." The next day, Zhang Jun ordered the two to take action. The spy reported that the Jin army was in a hurry to attack Haozhou, and Zhang Juncang hurriedly retreated and invited Liu Qi to meet in Huanglianbu, sixty miles away from Haozhou. Zhang Jun heard that Haozhou City had fallen, so he summoned Yang Yizhong and Liu Qi discussed.

Liu Qi said to Yang Cunzhong, "What should we do about this?" Yang Yizhong said, "But in the battle, you and Taiwei Zhang are behind, I should be in front of attacking the enemy." Liu Qi said, "It was originally a rescue of Haozhou. Since Haozhou has been lost and has no place to advance, the soldiers are looking forward to returning, and their morale has been declining. Fighting with the enemy is a dangerous way. It is better to retreat and occupy the dangerous place and wait for the enemy to leave before discussing countermeasures." All the generals said, "Okay." So one of the three men set up a camp and sent someone to reconnaissance the enemy's situation, and reported that "the enemy has left."

In order to make his own independent military achievements, Zhang Jun asked Liu Qi not to go, and ordered Yang Yizhong and Wang De to arrive in Haozhou. The formation was not determined, and fireworks rose in the city, and more than 10,000 cavalrymen in the Jin army were ambushed out of two wings. Yang Yizhong looked back and said to Wang De, "What should I do?" Wang De replied, "I am a young general, how dare I participate in expressing my opinions?" Yang Yizhong commanded the army with a whip and said, "Then go back." The army thought they were ordered to escape, so they fled south in a mess, and there was no more ranks. The Jin army took the opportunity to chase and kill. After a day, Han Shizhong led the army, but it was too late. Yang Yizhong returned from the Xuanhua River crossing the river and was appointed as the junior guard of the procuratorate, Kaifu Yitong and the three departments were also the commander-in-chief of the palace. Zhao Gou rewarded him for his great victory in Zhegao and avoided the mistake of defeat in Haoliang.

In the 14th year of Shaoxing, Yang Cunzhong requested to visit the Imperial Academy to pay homage to the ancestors. Zhao Gou said: "After the school is prosperous, military generals should also be respected. For example, the Yulin scholars of the Han Dynasty were proficient in the "Book of Filial Piety", let alone other things?" In the 28th year of Shaoxing, he became a young master and his status was regarded as a Privy Councilor. Since Yang Cunzhong had commanders in all military important places, there were no commanders in Jing and Xiangyang, and asked the court to inform the court.

Yang Cunzhong was in the hall for 25 years, and his power and favor were growing. Li Hao, the chief clerk of Taichang Temple, deleted the official Lu You, the official titled Wang Shipeng, and the imperial censor Chen Junqing, and the imperial censor, made suggestions one after another. In the 31st year of Shaoxing, Yang Cunzhong was dismissed as the Taifu, the envoy of Liquanguan, and was awarded the title of Prince of Tong'an.

After Yang Cunzhong was appointed as king, he went to the suburbs to inspect the suburbs and met a figure who was measuring the characters. Yang Cunzhong wrote a stroke on the ground with a stick. When the person who was measuring the characters saw it, he bowed and said, "Why should you come here in order to go out for patrols? You should love and respect yourself." Yang Cunzhong was so surprised that he asked him how he knew his identity. The figure who was measuring the characters said, "A stroke on the ground is the word 'king'." Yang Cunzhong was very happy and personally ordered the prime minister to give it to the prime minister five million yuan, and used his usual signature to order him to go to the person in charge of the property on the royal family the next day after he was looking for the prince.

Si Qian, who was in charge of the property, took the ticket and looked carefully, and said, "Who are you? How dare you forge the signature of my prince to cheat the property? You should send you to the government office to punish you." The person who looked at the prince told the story and deliberately said it loudly, which was very aggrieved, hoping to attract Yang Cunzhong's attention. Yang Cunzhong's housekeeper and Si Qian negotiated to give him five thousand coins. The person looked at the property very sadly and scolded Si Qian and left.

Later, Si Qian told Yang Cunzhong about this.

Yang Cunzhong was very surprised and asked Siqian why. Siqian said, "He said you are the prince now. If you add more words in the future, you will be slandered. Moreover, King En has established a royal club, why should you use the people who look at the face?" Yang Cunzhong heard this and said, "You are right." He rewarded Siqian with millions of dollars that he had originally prepared to look at the face.

Yang Cunzhong's grandfather Yang Zongmin, father Yang Zhen and mother both died in the national crisis. After Yang Cunzhong was appointed as king, he asked the court to give his grandfather respectively. His father's posthumous titles were "Zhongjie" and "Zhongyi", and the temple title was "Xianzhong" and "Repaying Zhong". He also requested the establishment of a family temple and sacrificial vessels. The court broke the old system and allowed him to sacrifice to the five generations. His grandmother Liu was wandering in Sichuan, Long, and Yang Cunzhong prayed day and night to search, and intercepted thousands of miles away, and finally welcomed him back.

At that time, the tycoon Wanyan Liang had the intention of invading the south, and Yang Cunzhong submitted ten strategies for the enemy. Zhao Mi, the commander of the Infantry Division, secretly planned to seize Yang Cunzhong's military power, accusing Yang Cunzhong of being a fond of merit. After hearing this, Yang Cunzhong submitted a request to be dismissed, and Zhao Mi finally replaced him. Soon, the border guards became increasingly urgent, and Zhao Gou ordered Yang Cunzhong to be the guard guard of the imperial camp. Liu Si was defeated in Guazhou, and the court ordered Yang Cunzhong to go to Jingkou as a plan to defend the river. Yu Yunwen came to join him from Caishi, and Yang Cunzhong worked together with him to resist the enemy.

He and Yu Yunwen were parading in the river and ordered soldiers to test the boats in the middle of the river. The warships were flying. Wanyan Liang came to Guazhou and ordered his troops to shoot the boats with bows. The boats were fast and arrows were slow, and they could not shoot. Everyone was shocked. Wanyan Liang smiled with a grim smile and said, "I'm afraid it's a paper boat." As soon as he finished speaking, a general knelt down and said, "The Southern Army is already prepared and should not underestimate the enemy. Your Majesty might as well return to Yangzhou and make progress." Wanyan Liang shouted angrily: "Do you dare to slow down our army?" He called the left and right to blame the general for fifty rods, and then summoned the generals to cross the river for three days, otherwise they would be killed.

Since then, the soldiers have changed their minds. The monk who was a savage wanted to tempt someone to escape, but was noticed by Wanyan Liang and ordered people to dismember the monk. He ordered the soldiers to escape, and then killed the leader. When the leaders fled, they were even more anxious. Wanyan Liang brought the crow and falcon boat to Guazhou again, and agreed that those who dared to retreat would be beheaded. The Jin army then met in private and came up with a final plan, and discussed with Yelu Yuanyi, the commander of the western Zhejiang commander, and others.

Yelu Yuanyi asked for a clear plan, and the crowd said in unison: "The Song army has defended Huaidu. If we cross the river, we will be captured. Recently, I heard that the new emperor of Liaoyang ascended the throne, it is better to do great things together and then the whole army will return to the north so as not to die in the south of the Yangtze River." Yelu Yuanyi hesitated for a while before asking, "Are you really united?" Everyone responded: "The public is united." Yelu Yuanyi said: "Since you are united, it is not appropriate to be late, and the guards will change their shifts tomorrow morning and act immediately." Everyone agreed in unison.
