The reason why Zhao Gou has been reluctant to agree to Zong Ze's request for military service is actually due to his actual difficulties.

First of all, on the surface, Zhao Gou led an army of 170,000, but the actual situation is not like this.

Zhao Gou can actually control not many soldiers at present, and even less than one-third of the 170,000 army is actually in the hands of Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Weng Yanguo.

Although Zhao Ye, Fan Ne and Weng Yanguo received the order from the Grand Marshal's Mansion and were nominally affiliated with the Grand Marshal's Mansion, in fact, they were somewhat in line with the Grand Marshal's Mansion. The troops led by Fan Ne were stationed in the west and south of Yingtian Prefecture, and Zhao Gou from the north was not allowed to be interfered. Weng Yanguo simply led his own troops to station in Sizhou and did not report to Yingtian Prefecture at all.

There are actually many people like Zhao Ye, Fan Ne, and Weng Yanguo.

Most of these people believe that heroes come from all directions in troubled times, and if they have soldiers, they will be the king of grass heads.

This is also one of the important reasons why Zhao Gou was extremely distrustful of military commanders in the future. These military generals really like to hold troops and respect themselves.

Secondly, these 170,000 troops did not really obey Zhao Gou's command.

Take the rescue of Tokyo Bianliang as an example.

Zhao Gou asked everyone to discuss when they could send troops to rescue Tokyo.

result:

Some people advocated a war and suggested making an appointment with the troops who served the king, and on the same day, they advanced to fight with the Jin army to decide the outcome.

Some people oppose the war. They believe that the Jin army now only controls the outer city walls and has not yet entered the city. If the war starts now, the Jin army will inevitably force it into the city. In that case, the city massacre may occur.

Some people also believe that Zhao Huan had sent a wax edict, and had clearly instructed him (the Jin people did not go down to the city and agreed to reconcile, so they could station troops near the land and not move lightly.), and now they should abide by Zhao Huan's edict and wait and see what changes are happening.

Again, the composition of these 170,000 troops is very complicated. Some of them are thieves who recruited, some are defeated soldiers, military thieves, and temporary king-supporting soldiers and militias.

The military discipline and combat effectiveness of such a miscellaneous army can be imagined.

In addition, the soldiers at the bottom, especially those who were once defeated by the Jin army, were unwilling to fight with the Jin army again, and for this reason, they even mutinyed.

In fact, there have been two mutinies during this period.

The first time in Xiangzhou, many riots were unwilling to come to Yingtian Prefecture with Zhao Gou, and even more unwilling to go to war with the Jin army. Therefore, these riots who did not want to follow Zhao Gou to the south, heard that the Grand Marshal's Mansion wanted to move to Yingtian Prefecture, secretly set fires at the north gate of the city and in front of the government office before dawn, attempting to cause chaos and then escape.

Fortunately, Zhang Jun reacted quickly and captured the arson soldiers in time and put out the fire. Then Lingchi executed the arson soldiers to suppress the mutiny.

After the army headed south, some of the riots who didn't want to go south tried to cause trouble.

As a result, he was captured by Zhang Jun again, and then he was lingered by Zhao Gou.

The two rebellions in the army were shattered by Zhang Jun just now. Zhang Jun's keen insight and courageous courage can be seen from this. This also shows that Zhang Jun is not as incompetent as later legends, and he ranks first among the four generals of ZTE. It cannot be said that there is no reason at all.

In fact, if you look through Zhang Jun's resume carefully, you will find that Zhang Jun also started his military career as a soldier, working hard step by step from the grassroots level of the army.

It really tests Zhao Gou's courage to lead such an army to compete with the powerful Jin army.

In fact, Zhao Gou is a guy who has no courage to do something outside and has no courage.

Of course, you can also say that Zhao Gou has a high political level, can tolerate it, and can make the right choices.

In short, Zhao Gou chose to follow the current actual situation and did not send troops for the time being, and then wait and see, and then make a decision.

...

The Song army hesitated there, but the Liangshan army was like a tiger going down the mountain, especially the vanguard of the left line army, which was the vanguard selected by the First Battalion and Guo Haoguo.

The more than 10,000 people were all cavalry, and the first battalion, which was invincible, was the spearhead, so that the selection army rushed straight towards Dongming County like a spear.

At the beginning of the battle with the Jin army, the Selected Front Army selected eighteen Jin camps in a row, which stunned the Jin army.

If Han Shizhong had not made three orders in a row after learning about this, he would not allow the front-superior army to rush forward. With the fierce momentum of the front-superior army before, he would have been able to reach the city of Bianliang in three days.

However, this premise is that they are not ambushed by the Jin army.

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang has made corresponding arrangements for more than 10,000 elected troops. If they advance as aggressively as before, they may suffer a big defeat. You must know that Wanyan Zongwang is also a famous general in a hundred battles. How could he be defeated by Guo Hao and Yang Zaixing so easily?

However, there is no if in the war.

With the initial fierce attack of the left-road selection army, the left-road army took Dongming County in only six days and then pointed at the city of Bianliang.

By the way, in Dongming County, Han Shizhong withdrew the first battalion that had been rushing hard before (Yang Zaixing was dissatisfied and asked Han Shizhong to argue. Han Shizhong said that he really could not control the sharp blade of the first battalion, so he simply returned the first battalion to Li Yan.), leaving only Guo Hao's troops as the selection of the front, and then continued to advance and carefully advance.

Unlike the left-wing army that quickly advanced to Dongming County, Liu Qi implemented a steady and steady attack style for the right-wing army. Wherever he passed, he would definitely clean up all the Jin army he encountered and then advance forward, and would never give any flaws to the Jin army.

Therefore, the marching speed of the right-road army is slower.

Wanyan Zonghan fought against the right army.

Seeing that the right-wing army was fighting so steadily, Wanyan Zonghan suddenly felt like a great enemy.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan controlled the army and retreated steadily, while preparing to fight the right army in a decisive battle, preparing to defeat the right army in one fell swoop.

Wanyan Zonghan is not only the commander of the Western Route Army, but also the commander of the Jin army. Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan cannot only focus on the Liangshan Right Route Army, but also the current comprehensive situation.

After seeing this, Wanyan Zonghan felt something was wrong.

The situation facing the Jin army is that to the north and east are the Liangshan army, to the south are the 300,000 army of the Grand Marshal's Office of the Song State (the Grand Marshal's Office claims to be only 170,000 in actuality), and to the west are the 200,000 Western Army of the Song State led by Fan Zhixu (actually only 100,000 in actuality).

From this perspective, the situation of the Jin army was extremely bad, surrounded by hundreds of thousands of troops, among which there were more than 100,000 Liangshan army, which had no defeat in the battles in the south and north.

In this case, even if he is as arrogant as Wanyan Zonghan, he can't help but feel a little panicked.

In addition, since the launch of troops in August, the Jin army has been fighting for nearly half a year.

Although Lian Zhan and Lian Jie made the Jin army have a good momentum, both generals and soldiers, mentally and physically, the Jin army felt deeply tired and needed rest.

Among them, Wanyan Zongwang, the commander of the Eastern Route Army, was the most exhausted. Wanyan Zongwang's fatigue was not only because he had been fighting continuously over the years, but also because he was lustful. In recent years, especially these two times, he went south, and was seriously overdrawn.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan dared not and did not want to stay in Tokyo anymore.

Based on this, after Zhao Huan closed his eyes and signed the unequal treaty unilaterally formulated by the Jin people because of fear of death, Wanyan Zonghan immediately gave an ultimatum to the people in Bianliang City.

In other words, the Jin army is ready to withdraw...
