Chapter five hundred and eighty sixth
…
After Yue Fei destroyed the Champo Kingdom, he ordered people to send all the kings, queens, princes and nobles of Champo Kingdom, daughters of princes and nobles, and gold and silver treasures of Champo Kingdom to Hainan County to present to Li Yan.
According to the previous practice of destroying the Li Dynasty, Li Yan left the queen of Champo State and the daughter of the princes and nobles he liked, and then ordered people to send all the kings, princes and nobles, daughters of the princes and nobles of Champo State and the gold and silver treasures of Champo State back to Seoul.
When Fan Zhiyang learned that Li Yan had destroyed the Champo Kingdom, he immediately came to meet Li Yan and wanted to ask Li Yan for Champo Kingdom.
However, all the ministers under Li Yan opposed the introduction of Champo to Fan Zhiyang. For this reason, Wang Lun also came back from the front line to persuade Li Yan.
The Champo Kingdom is on the necessary road on the western front of the Maritime Silk Road, and its location is even more important than Annan County. If this road is blocked, the maritime trade of Liangshan will be cut off. How could Li Yan give such an important place to Fan Zhiyang? Even if he dedicated all his three daughters of the country, Tianxiang, to Li Yan.
Li Yan changed the name of Champa Country, appointed Guo Yong as the prefect, and transferred Hua Rong and the Fourth Chamber to the garrison.
At this point, the two compartments that Li Yan promised to Wang Lun were all in place.
but
Li Yan is not the one who refuses to admit his confession after lifting his pants.
Li Yan promised that as long as Fan Zhiyang made contributions in the process of destroying the Khmer Kingdom, he would draw a county for Fan Zhiyang in the territory of the Khmer Kingdom.
Fan Zhiyang also realized that Li Yan was a master who held his pants and refused to admit his account. Therefore, it was impossible for him to return to the old land of Champo Kingdom, so he could only settle for the second best to seek a new territory.
Fan Zhiyang mobilized all his strength and recruited five thousand troops from Champa City. Li Yan asked Yue Fei to pick out five thousand thorns from the prisoners of the Champa Kingdom and gave it to Fan Zhiyang.
In this way, Fan Zhiyang had an army of 10,000.
Fan Zhiyang led this ten thousand troops to Angkor Thom to participate in the war and fought for himself to capture a piece of territory.
In less than two months, Liangshan destroyed the Li Dynasty and Champa, and captured Angkor Thom, the capital of the Khmer Kingdom, the largest country in the Indochina Peninsula, which shocked all the countries on the Indochina Peninsula.
Soon, some small countries built by the Meng people or the Thai people ran to Hainan County to pay tribute to Li Yan, and many even directly called Liangshan to the waters.
Li Yan accepted the tribute and title of vassals of these small countries and ordered them to send troops to attack the Khmer country, and at the same time promised that as long as the land they captured themselves would belong to them.
After receiving Li Yan's promise, the kings of those small countries raised troops to capture the Khmer Kingdom.
Soon, the Queen's Kingdom, the Kingdom of Labodi, Bagan and Sanfoqi, the four major countries on the Indochina Peninsula, also paid tribute to the waters of Liangshan.
Li Yan ordered the Queen's Kingdom, the Fallen Kingdom, Bagan and Sanfoqi also sent troops to attack the Khmer Kingdom.
For Li Yan's order.
The Queen's Kingdom and the Folubudy, which bordered the Khmer Kingdom, actively accepted the order and organized 50,000 troops to attack the Khmer Kingdom.
Bagan and Sanfoqi, which are not bordered by the Khmer State, were not stupid to Li Yan's orders and those who disobeyed the two countries were not stupid. They knew that even if they captured the Khmer State's territory, they could not turn them into their own territory. In this case, how could they actively participate in the war?
Later, Wang Lun destroyed Bagan and the Three Buddhas for this reason.
Of course, this is just an excuse. Even if Bagan and Sanfoqi actively attack the Khmer country like the Queen and the Fulabodi Kingdom, Wang Lun will definitely destroy them, because from the beginning to the end, Wang Lun's goal was the entire Indochina Peninsula.
For a moment, the Khmer country was attacked by more than a dozen countries, and its vast territory became smaller and smaller.
...
The Jin army on the West Road was still besieging Taiyuan City. They have been sieging the city since they surrounded Taiyuan City, but they have been unable to conquer it for a long time.
The Jin army on the east route was unstoppable and arrived in Handan on December 30th.
Wanyan Zongwang gave Guo pharmacist two thousand troops and asked Guo pharmacist to seize the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.
Guo Yaoshi led these two thousand men from Handan, galloping day and night, and rushed towards the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou.
Yaoshi Guo is very good at long-distance raids. A sentence he often says is, "The key to using troops is speed."
Liang Fangping and the Yanei army, who were responsible for the defense of the Yellow River Bridge in Junzhou, did not expect the Jin army to raid for a long distance.
It's the Spring Festival.
The Chinese New Year is over, and we must celebrate it. At least, Liang Fangping and the people of the Yanei Army think so.
So, Liang Fangping and the Yanei Army celebrated the Spring Festival and ate dumplings and took the opportunity to have fun all night.
The next morning, the sleepy Yanei army heard the Jin soldiers descending from the sky and suddenly fell into panic.
When Liang Fangping climbed the city, he saw the Jin soldiers' flags roaring in the morning breeze, which scared him so much that he was sweating all over. Then he fled out of the city with his own troops without saying a word.
Seeing that the commander had fled, the soldiers of the Yanei Army also scattered and fled south of the Yellow River Bridge.
Guo Yaoshi sent twenty soldiers to quickly seize the south end of Tiancheng Bridge and carried out a symbolic attack on the defeated soldiers of the Yanei army who fled south along the bridge.
As a result, the Yanei soldiers who were guarding the bridge were shocked and quickly set fire to the bridge, trying to use the natural danger of the Yellow River to block the Jin soldiers.
At that time, thousands of Song soldiers were crowded on the bridge, and almost all of them were burned to death by the fire or fell down the Yellow River and drowned.
Only three of the twenty Jin soldiers were slightly injured.
He Guan's troops, who were responsible for guarding the south bank of the Yellow River, saw Liang Fangping leading the remaining troops to flee towards the capital, and they also left the shore and fled, looking at the wind.
Soon, from Heyang to Daming Prefecture in Beijing, it started from the west and ended in Daming Prefecture in Beijing. On this hundreds of miles of the Yellow River, there was no more defender in the State of Song. The Yellow River defense line, which was highly anticipated by the state of Song, was broken without attack.
Seeing that the Song army ran away before the battle, Guo Yaoshi was extremely disappointed with the Song State and was glad that he had voted for the Great Jin State himself.
Yaoshi Guo quickly organized a crossing of the river to pursue the Song army on the north bank of the Yellow River.
Since the Yellow River Bridge has been burned by the Song army, if you want to cross the river, you must find a ferry.
Junzhou was originally a ferry, but since the bridge was built, the role of the ferry has gradually weakened, so civilian ships and shipwrecks in the city have also decreased.
The Jin soldiers searched for a long time and found only more than ten small boats, each of which could only carry five or seven people.
The Jin soldiers tentatively floated across the river.
However, due to the rapid and fierce waves, the Jin army was unable to cross the river for a while and lost dozens of people.
Later, the Jin army obtained several large ships from the upstream and downstream before they began to cross the Yellow River.
At this time, the main cavalry of the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang also came to the bank of the Yellow River.
Wanyan Zongwang was very satisfied with Guo Yaoshi's performance in this raid on Junzhou.
When Guo Yaoshi had just surrendered, Wanyan Zongwang still had doubts about Guo Yaoshi.
Now that he saw that Guo Yaoshi made such a great contribution, there was no possibility of repeated repetition. Wanyan Zongwang no longer doubted Guo Yaoshi, and also attached great importance to Guo Yaoshi's suggestions and adopted them greatly.
Later, the Jin people proposed that they would ask for a large amount of gold and silk from the Song Dynasty with the Yellow River as the boundary, all of which were planned by Guo Yaoshi.
Because there were too few ferries, the Jin army cut down trees to make several rafts for ferrying.
It took the Jin army five days to allow all the elite infantry cavalry to cross the Yellow River.
After crossing the river, Wanyan Jiemu looked at the surging waves and said with emotion to Chen Guan who was forced to tie him up: "The Southern Dynasty is said to be no one. If there were one or two thousand people, how could we pass it?"
Chen Guan felt very uncomfortable. He was puzzled. Why didn’t the Song army use the Yellow River to block the Jin soldiers? Why did they abandon the river and flee?
It takes less than three hundred miles from the bank of the Yellow River to Tokyo Bianliang, which is a journey between two days and nights for the cavalry.
I heard that the Jin army had crossed the Yellow River and headed south.
Zhao Huan was frightened and ordered Nan Xing.
In other words, Zhao Huan was also ready to follow Zhao Ji's footsteps and run south.
When Li Gang learned about it, he quickly sacrificed his life to stop Zhao Huan.
Li Gang said to Zhao Huan: "The parents and wives of the Imperial Army soldiers are all in the capital. How can they give up? If they leave halfway, who will Your Majesty rely on to defend? Moreover, the enemy cavalry is approaching. If they learn that Your Majesty is not far from the city, they will send a strong horse to chase him. How will Your Majesty defend him at that time?"
Cao Xu, the commander of the personal guards' cavalry, also reported to Song Qinzong's military situation: "If Your Majesty personally fights, all the six armies are willing to fight to the death; if you are lucky, there may be a change in Xiao Yun."
Zhao Huan realized that it might be too late to leave the city at this time. If he forced himself out of the city, he would not only be in danger of being pursued by the Jin soldiers, but also worrying from the internal imperial guards.
In the end, Zhao Huan had to bite the bullet and stay to resist the Jin army...
