In early July of the third year of Zhenghe, the whole country was frightened.

Dissatisfied with Gao Fangping's arguments against military affairs before, Zhang Shuye submitted a submission to Zhao Ji, saying: "The Three Koreans trust the Song Dynasty and asked us for help. If they did not intervene at the beginning, it would be fine, but they should do what they should do after intervening. In the spirit of humanity, they should save the miserable people of the Three Koreans. However, Gao Fangping privately bypassed the Privy Council and interfered with the combat route of our volunteer army in Goryeo. Shi Wengong listened to his words but did not act, and allowed the Jurchen robbers to burn, kill, loot and loot west of Kaijing without taking care of it. Shi Wengong actually persuaded the Goryeo government and the people to retreat and give up their protection of their homeland. This idea was extremely unsupportant. This caused the inconsistency between Shi Wengong and Liu Fa in terms of tactics."

"Before our Privy Council's final instructions, Shi Wengong ignored the feelings of the three Korean princes, and privately brought the people who were willing to leave to retreat. As a result, Liu Fa became an isolated army. Under the several bloody documents of the Goryeo Emperor Ya, Liu Fa did not give in and tried to fight the first cluster battle with the Jurchens in the northeast of Xihaidao. However, Shi Wengong had evacuated the defense zone and abandoned the front line of Jiaozhou Road. Jurchen general Nianhan used Jiaozhou Road to bypass the front offensive, and a thousand elite cavalry raided, defeated and destroyed Liu Fa's West Sea defense line. He suffered heavy casualties, Guan Sheng died in the battle, and Yang Zhi was disabled. Many people in the Three Koreans were injured, and Liu Fa had to take the remnants to the Kaijing defense line."

In July, the Song Dynasty Volunteer Army was defeated again in Goryeo. Liu Fa's Ministry of War destroyed the fourth floor, and many three Koreans who failed to evacuate their homes were massacred by the Jurchens.

This seems to be a large-scale fall of the country, so the Emperor of Goryeo cried and wrote a letter to Zhang Shuye to complain.

At that time, no one could see clearly where the real war situation was. So much so that in internal discord, Shi Wen believed in Gao Fangping's strategy, while Liu Fa did not believe in Gao Fangping, so he became an isolated army.

Liu Fa wanted to find an opportunity to avenge Lin Chong's army, but he couldn't stand the front line of Xikaido. Even if Shi Wengong had already pulled the team away, he still felt that Nianhan's less than 3,000 savages dared to challenge the Xikaido defense line when my elite troops of the Song Dynasty adapted.

Liu Fa had Liu Fa's reason: Lin Chong's defeat was because he was unfamiliar with the situation and was careless, but later people became familiar with it, and the Jurchens would never dare to conduct special raids again. After the woman actually interviewed the defense line of the West Sea several times, she retreated without being able to eat, and mainly harassment. This means that they dare not fight.

Liu Fa’s fatal mistake was that he did not realize why the Jurchens dared to fight?

The reason why the Nianhan tribe dared not fight was the suppression of Wanyan Wuyashu. Wuyashu said that our Jurchens were oppressed and rose up in the cracks. It is praised that these thousands of people have not had any problems, so don’t fight with the mechanized monsters of the Song Dynasty easily.

This is why the previous Wan Han Da was extremely conservative.

Unfortunately, in early June, the Jurchen Jiedushi Wu Yashu died of illness. Aguda took over as the Jurchen Jiedushi and was also the Northeast recruitment envoy of the Great Liao Dynasty. So before he could even go to Beijing to express his grief, he issued a radical combat order.

So Nianhan came to "openly cut down on the road to practice", allowing two thousand main forces to test the Xihai Road defense line in front, but in fact they secretly crossed Chencang from Jiaozhou Road, and a thousand elite cavalry raided Liu Fa's rear, causing heavy losses to the Song army in this battle.

This is the whole process.

Why did Zhang Shuye impeach Gao Fangping and point fingers at military affairs? The root lies in Liu Fa.

At that time, Gao Fangping's strategic ideas were written into a letter and sent to Shi Wengong and Liu Fa. It was not public. Shi Wengong believed it, but Liu Fa was dissatisfied.

Liu Fa was so bad-tempered. When Gao Fangping asked him too much during the Cangzhou incident, he said, "I am a soldier of the Song Dynasty, you are not the Privy Council in Mingfu."

Of course Liu Fa is right, Gao Fangping is really suspected of autocracy.

On the battlefield of Goryeo this time, Liu Fa made this mistake again. He really thought that Gao Fangping was stretching too long, so he secretly reported Gao Fangping's "blind command" incident to Zhang Shuye.

Of course, Zhang Shuye was annoyed.

Zhang Shuye had limited military experience, and it was difficult to comment on the advantages and disadvantages of Gao Fangping's tactics at that time, but Lao Zhang knew that Gao Fangping violated the system and affirmed that he did not impeach him immediately. The reason for not impeaching him immediately was to be harmonious and to save face for Gao Fangping. At the same time, Lao Zhang believed that Gao Fangping was really concerned about the war, not to seize power by himself.

So Lao Zhang did not impeach Gao Fangping, nor did he promptly order who was the commander-in-chief of Shi Wengong and Liu Fa? Because Lao Zhang himself was also weighing whether Gao Fangping's tactics were correct?

With just such a hesitation, since there was no order, Shi Wengong certainly retreated legally. Although Liu Fa violated Gao Fangping's ideas, Liu Fa was not wrong. Gao Fangping was not the Privy Council. Although he was a member of the Standing Committee, he could only advise Zhang Shuye, rather than directing the battlefield of Goryeo on behalf of others.

So something happened finally, and the consequences of thousands of soldiers' deaths made Lao Zhang unbearable. Perhaps Gao Fangping was right, but his overreach of power led to Shi Wengong's slippery thoughts, which led to heavy casualties in Liu Fa's Ministry. This is real.

So, Lao Zhang finally impeached Gao Fangping.

Now the atmosphere in the court is depressed, and Zhao Ji is in a dilemma.

Uncle Zhang said at night: "Your Majesty, military situation is urgent, so we need to make a decision?"

Although the great tyrant Zhao Ji thought this was bad news, it was not in the territory of the Song Dynasty, and only two thousand people died. This was the gentlest war in the history of the Song Dynasty, so Zhao Ji was not too afraid.

Then he said to Xi Ni: "The words of Mr. Zhang make some sense. I also believe that Xiao Gao thought too much about this."

"..." Everyone was speechless. Is this just thinking too much?

Zhao Ji said again: "He has mistakes, and he has always been. But that is also because he cares about the interests of our Song Dynasty. In fact, I don't have much experience in military affairs, but since he made many mistakes, he has never been confused about major events. I will punish him for this matter. Don't be too serious until now."

Seeing that the boy was still very favored, Liang Zhongshu went out and said, "Your Majesty is wise. The war is not something that cannot be returned. Failure is the mother of success, and there is still a need to deal with it. There is no political rift in this time, but a battle for tactics."

"That's right." Zhao Ji smiled as he thought of his beard, very satisfied with Lao Liang.

It was not convenient for Zhang Shuye to speak, because Lao Zhang's purpose was to correct Gao Fangping's imagination, rather than to kill Gao Fangping. It was not that he could not really twist Gao Fangping, but that he would continue to twist. Everyone on the battlefield in Goryeo would have to cry and be blind. Who would sympathize with them...

In mid-July 2018, the emperor ordered the emperor to arrive at Chengdu Prefecture, but did not scold Gao Fangping for his mistakes, because these cunning guys had to rely on Gao Fangping to solve the problem.

The content of the imperial edict is: Due to the deterioration of the war in Goryeo and the military situation is urgent, Gao Fangping was summoned to Beijing to serve as deputy envoy of the Privy Councilor and presided over the national war.

Gao Fangping resisted the order because he couldn't leave.

As July begins, heavy rains are magnificent and the water level of the Minjiang River rises sharply. In this panic, disasters do not come alone, and floods are finally here...

The sky on the battlefield in Goryeo could not fall, and Liu Fa was defeated and killed by his character, and Shi Wengong could withstand it.

Now Gao Fangping has not interfered in the Privy Council, but publicly issued a public article to angrily denounce: Liu Fa is not clear. He pretends to be a saint, but he dares to subvert the proven strategic ideas. If he can't win, run away. I'm dragging the team away. I didn't say that the lives of the three Korean people are worthless, but the lives of my Song Dynasty soldiers are also fate. Who gives you Liu Fa's rights to take the lives of my Hanwa soldiers and do favors to the people of Goryeo. Soldiers, your only mission is to win the war, not sympathy!

So it was really infuriating.

Given that Gao Fangping's prestige among the poor and the army was too high, even if the imperial guards were noble, they were still the child sent by the poor. Under the trend of the great devil's post to criticize Liu Fa, Liu Fa and the Privy Council were scolded by the people of the world.

It was like a hornet's nest. This was the power of the great devil who was about to wake up. The reason why Zhang Shuye harmoniously dispelled some of his works was because he was afraid that this would happen.

Unfortunately, everything is too late now, and the Song Dynasty can no longer stop him. Not to mention that the emperor still trusts this guy almost superstitiously, even if the emperor doesn't believe him now, it will be useless. He is basically unable to be denied.

Liu Fa, a famous historical general, was too emotional. He might have advantages and a good person, but he was not a war machine and could not calmly judge the situation and win the war.

In history, this guy was bewitched by Tong Guan, so he went deep into the army and fell into trouble. This time, he did not get rid of the historical trajectory. After being bewitched by Zhang Shuye, he also fell into trouble.

This famous general in history was very emotional. After being red-eyed, he slaughtered the city in Xixia in order to avenge Han Wa. It is difficult to deny his actions, but as a general who holds military power, controls the life and death of his subordinates, and shoulders the heavy responsibility of national war, emotionality is of use. In this regard, it is relatively better for Zhong Shidao to do this.

Based on Gao Fangping's belief that the sky in Goryeo would not collapse, but Chengdu was really in a hurry. It was because Xiao Gao resisted the order this time and did not return to Beijing and was not appointed.

I have some selfishness, and this appointment is a little bit shabby and it is not yet time yet.

You underestimate me, right? I, who has basically awakened, will I return to Beijing for a mere deputy envoy of the Privy Council? Don’t go, don’t bother me. There are not many people who died in Goryeo, but when I kneel down in Chengdu, it will be affected by the base of tens of millions...
