Fearing the enemy like a tiger will make the heroes lose their morale and the strong men will be separated. Even if there is strong armor, it is in vain.
Since Taizu in the Northern Song Dynasty, the kings of all dynasties have always wanted to restore the clouds, and as a result, they have never won for a hundred years. It is not that the Song army is not good in armor, nor is it because of insufficient financial resources. In fact, it is a national system of noble and lowly martial arts, only the high school scholars outside the Donghua Gate are true heroes, and the sergeants are like pigs and dogs, and the military merits are lowly service.
Until the Jin people rose and conquered the Liao State. So I spent money in the Great Song Dynasty to buy back Youzhou from Jin Guo. My Great Song Dynasty is really rich, the richest man in the world, the people are also rich, and the most advanced, but the soldiers who take the best are not known for whom to fight, no matter how many meritorious deeds they make, they still can't get rid of the word "thief with army", and the soldier's will to fight is really weak.
After the Great Song Dynasty bought Youzhou, Jin Guopingzhou stayed behind Zhang Jue, because of the civil dispute between Yanyun and Jin Ting, Zhang Jue was originally a Hanchen of the Liao State, so he voted for the Great Song Dynasty. Jin Guo was furious and ordered the Great Song Dynasty to hand over Zhang Jue!
Zhang Jueqi was decisive and strategic, fighting with Jin and killing each other. And his parents and wife were both killed by Jin, and the way back was extinct, and the only way to survive was to serve Song, who could have been given the task of border defense.
But the scholars and doctors who ruled in the Great Song Dynasty, although they were skilled in poetry and books and knew some Sun Wu, they only did not know the use of the five soldiers, and they always despised the warriors. The Great Song Dynasty went from the emperor who wrote well to the scholars who were knowledgeable. first happily accepted Zhang Jue's surrender, and the enemy came to vote, and they all celebrated with their crowns, all saying that the prosperity had arrived. Then let Jin Guoyi intimidate, panic, and unanimously believe that starting from the overall situation of Song-Jin friendship, it is better to return Zhang Jue to Jin Guo.
Zhang Jue, who was born in the Liao Kingdom, was actually an outlier in the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty Jinshi. Why? Because of the Liao Jinshi, many of them can also bend their bows and leap horses, and they can stand tall in battle. In the eyes of the intellectuals who were born in elegant young men in the Great Song Dynasty, this is absolutely unacceptable. Reading seeds dancing knives and guns is really insulting! Kill it, kill it.
Zhang Jue was killed, and his head was sent to the Kingdom of Jin. After that, Jin Guo recognized the essence of the paper tiger of the world's richest man in the Great Song Dynasty, who avoided war and feared war, and gave birth to the heart of destroying the Song Dynasty!
At the same time, it also made the Han ministers of the Liao State who had already descended to the Song Dynasty, the Yanjing town guard, Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Changsheng Army, and others completely chilled, and deeply felt that the Great Song Dynasty was really irresponsible and unreliable!
Guo Yaoshi said: Today, the Jin people asked for Zhang Jue, and the court killed Zhang Jue. Tomorrow, the Jin people want my head of Guo Yaoshi, who does not know who the imperial court will send to cut off my head! Guo Yao's generation of heroes in the north, if he meets Mingjun, he should be driven to death before. If you meet a mediocre master, how can you let people be slaughtered like pigs and dogs for no reason. As the saying goes, the king regards the minister as a mustard, and the minister regards the king as an enemy.
So, Guo Yaoshi lowered the gold, and made a guide for the gold, the Jin army invaded the Song Dynasty in a big way, and the Great Song Dynasty forbidden army was equipped with advanced ** such as iron armor and hard crossbows, and the Great Song Dynasty was like a tiger, vulnerable, and a thousand miles The Jin army was like a bamboo, and it was fought until the foot of Bianjing City, since the Song Taizu set up a sealed pile warehouse, and the weapons and armor and money and silk property accumulated for ten years were all sent to the Jin people for free, and the Jin country tasted the sweetness, went and came back, and the great Song Dynasty, which was rich in the world, was gone!
