Master data: Battle of monk yuan and battle of immortal pass

In the battle of Jianqing pass in the first year of Shaoxing (1131) of Emperor Gaozong of Song Dynasty, Wu Li cut off the contact between the general of Jin State and Wulu, and forced the Jin army to retreat. In this battle, Wu Xun made the most contributions and was promoted to control the army and horse of the former monk (now the southwest of Baoji in Shaanxi Province). At that time, Wu Xun was stationed in Hechi (now Huixian County, Gansu Province), and he was in charge of monk yuan. When the Jin general Wanyan zongbi (Wushu) army entered, Wu Yu brothers fought to defend. When the Jin army arrived at shenben, the song army ambushed and defeated the Jin army. Wan yanzongbi was shot by a stream of arrows and retreated in a hurry. After that, Zhang Jun, the Xuanfu disposal envoy of Sichuan and Shaanxi, was appointed as the deputy general manager of Mabu army in Jingyuan road and the regiment training envoy of Kangzhou (now Chengxian County, Gansu Province). In March 1132, the Jin army invaded Long'an county and was repulsed by Wu Li and others. In the third year of Shaoxing (1133), Wu Xun was appointed as the defense envoy of Rongzhou (now Rongxian County, Sichuan Province), known Qinzhou (now Tianshui, Gansu Province), and governed Jiezhou (now Wudu County, Gansu Province) and Wenzhou (now Wenxian County, Gansu Province). In the same year, general Wan Yan sailihe attacked raofengguan (in the present Shiquan west of Shaanxi Province). Wu Li led his army to rescue him. After a few days of fierce fighting, he was attacked by the Jin army from the dangerous road to raofengguan and met with failure. After the war of raofengguan, Wu ordered Wu to give up the monk yuan and surrender to xianrenguan (now Southeast of Huixian County in Gansu Province) to guard against the Jin army. Wanyan salihe went deep into Hanzhong alone, and was forced to give up Hanzhong because of the supply difficulties. Later, Wu Li adjusted his defense strategy. On the one hand, he strengthened the combat readiness of Xianren pass, and on the other hand, he built a barracks called shajinping, so as to prevent the Jin soldiers from entering Sichuan in the case of monk yuan's failure. In the winter of the same year, Wanyan zongbi attacked Shu again, the monk lost all his grain, and Wu Yu retreated to Chuankou. In the fourth year of Shaoxing (1134), Wan yanzongbi led a hundred thousand troops to attack xianrenguan. Wu Xun sent more than ten thousand soldiers to defend and kill Jinping, in order to defeat the spirit of the Jin army. After hearing the news, Wu Xun led his elite troops from Wuzhou (now Southeast of Wudu County in Gansu Province) and Jiezhou to help him. He wrote to Wu Xun, believing that shajinping was a wide place with scattered array in front, so it was necessary to block it from the rear to win the first World War. Wu Xun followed his advice and built a second pass in shajinping. Wu Yu fought for seven days and nights before he joined Wu Yu in xianrenguan. In March, the Jin army first attacked the Wu army and was repulsed. So he turned to kill Jinping and attacked the barracks of Wu's army with the ladder. Relying on the advantage of the number of people, he continued to attack. Wu Li drew his sword to the ground and said to the generals, "if you die, you will die here. If you retreat, you will be killed!" General Yang Zheng also said that this is the gateway of Sichuan, and he would rather die than lose, so as to strengthen the morale of the army. The Jin army was divided into two groups. Wanyanzong Bitong's army was arrayed in the East, and Han Chang's army was arrayed in the West. Wu Yu led the death squads to rush between the two armies, "hovering left and right, randomly firing.". after a long bloody battle, the song army was unable to support and was forced to retreat to the second line of defense. Some of the generals asked to choose another terrain to guard. Wu Xun said generously: "our army retreated as soon as it was engaged in a battle. This is a flight without fighting. I think the Jin army will leave soon. Please insist." At this time, the Jin army reinforcements arrived, Wu ordered the "garrison arrow" to shoot in turn, and the arrow rained like rain. The Jin army suffered heavy casualties, "the dead piled up, and the enemy stepped on.". The next day, the Jin soldiers attacked the northwest corner of the song army's barracks. General Yao zhongdeng fought hard in the barracks. Wu Li promptly sent his commander Tian Sheng to lead his troops into the Jin formation and killed them with a long knife. At night, the song army set fire to the four mountains. Buhuo four mountains, big shock drum followed. On the third day, Wu fan sent his right army commander Wang Qing, Wang Wu and other generals to fight into Jinying with Zibai flag. The Jinying army was defeated and fled at night. Wu Yu and others took advantage of the victory to recover the states of Feng, Qin and long. After the battle, Wanyan zongbi and Wanyan Sari drank "those who did not dare to see Shu for several years". In July, Emperor Gaozong appreciated the merits of xianrenguan, and appointed Wu Xun as the Chengxuan envoy of Dingguo army, the JINGLUE pacification envoy of xihelangulu, and the zhixizhou (now Lintao, Gansu Province). In the fifth year of Shaoxing (1135), Wu Li and Yang Zheng went to the army to recover Qinzhou and captured Hu Xuan, the official of Qinzhou in the puppet Qi Dynasty.

All battles in Sichuan

In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136), song Tingxin set up two garrisons for the camp, and Wu Xun was the right Garrison for the camp to control the army and horses. The next year, he was promoted to the command of all roads in Shaanxi. In the spring of the ninth year of Shaoxing (1139), Wu Yu was seriously ill. Wu Yu was transferred to the right garrison of the camp and controlled the four prefectures of rank, min, Wen and long. In June, after Wu's death, Wu was worshipped as the commander of the fourth chamber of the Dragon God guard and became the supreme commander of the right guard. In July, he was worshipped as the caretaker of Qinfeng Road (now Fengxiang in Shaanxi Province), the governor of mabujun, and knew Qinzhou. At this time, the state of Jin deposed the puppet Qi monarch Liu Yu and negotiated to return the land of Henan and Shaanxi in the Southern Song Dynasty. Lou Chong, a high school scholar, sent an envoy to Shaanxi, allowing him to act conveniently. Lou Xuan was ready to order three commanders to guard Shaanxi, namely, Qin Fenglu, commander Wu Xuan, Manyan Lu, commander Guo Hao (now Yan'an, Shaanxi), Xihe Lu, commander Yang Zheng (now Lintao, Gansu). In addition, the Shukou (located at the junction of Sichuan and Shaanxi) was moved to Shaanxi. Wu Yu opposed the layout of lougui. He thought: "the Jin people are capricious. I can't believe them. I'm afraid there are other changes. Now all the troops are moved to Shaanxi, and Shukou area is on the alert for emptiness. If the Jin army intercepts our Shaanxi army from Nanshan and runs straight to Shukou, our army will be defeated without fighting. We should rely on the mountain to build a stronghold, control the dangerous areas, wait and see the situation of the Jin army, see that their strength is weak, and then consider moving forward. " Lou agreed with Wu's suggestion, so he ordered Wu and yang to stay in the mainland to defend Sichuan, and Guo Hao's headquarters in Yan'an to guard Shaanxi. Before long, Hu Shi, the governor of Sichuan Province, will be in charge of Xuanfu affairs. After the first peace negotiation with Jin Dynasty, the Song Dynasty wanted to remove the garrison of xianrenguan. Wu Li paid a visit to Hu Shijiang who arrived in Hechi and said: "the Jin people's army is stationed in Hezhong prefecture (now Yongji, Shanxi Province), only one bridge away from Daqing pass (now on the east Yellow River of Chaoyi Town, Dali County, Shaanxi Province). The Jin people's cavalry gallops, but it can reach Shukou in five days. Our army is far away in Shaanxi. In case of emergency, we can't immediately gather for rescue, the pass is not renovated, and the logistics supply is interrupted. This is really a critical moment of life and death. My family is not worthy of pension, but what should the state do? " Therefore, Hu Shijiang suggested: "we should consolidate the peace talks with the state of Jin and strengthen internal defense. Now, when dealing with the army, we should connect Shaanxi and Sichuan. Recently, Gong Hezai, a soldier, learned that Wan Yan SA Li he had conspired to say, "it's not difficult to enter Sichuan. As long as you give up Shaanxi, the song army will come and occupy it in three or five years. I have fully understood the mountains and rivers of Shaanxi. Once you send troops, you will surely seize Sichuan." If the situation of the enemy is like this, we should be prepared to sabotage the enemy's strategy. Xianren pass should not give up its defense immediately, and Yuguan warehouse should also store grain. " Therefore, Wu Xun only sent three teams of dental schools to Qinzhou, leaving behind the main guards in Jiezhou and Chengzhou, warning the generals not to leave without permission. In May of the 10th year of Shaoxing (1140), the state of Jin backed the alliance and invaded the Southern Song Dynasty. Emperor Gaozong ordered Wu Li to control the army and horses in Shaanxi. Wanyan left to drink, crossed the Yellow River, entered Chang'an (now Xi'an, Shaanxi Province), and went straight to Fengxiang. Nearly half of the right guard troops were isolated by the Jin army in Northern Shaanxi, "far and near". At this time, Yang Zheng was in Gongzhou (now Longxi, Gansu), Guo Hao was in Bingyan, and only Wu Li was in Hechi with Hu Shi. When Hu Shi general heard that the Jin army was going south, he quickly called all the generals together to discuss the countermeasures. Only Yang Zheng and Tian Sheng, the garrison general of Jingyuan (now Jingchuan, Gansu Province), came. At the meeting, sun Wo, the chief of staff, suggested to surrender xianrenyuan. Wu Li sternly retorted: "those who use cowardly words to disintegrate the morale of the army can be killed! With the lives of all my family, I will surely defeat the Jin army. " Hu Shi will be infected, pointing to the military account, said: "I must die here!" Immediately, the commander assigned all the departments
