Why did Liu Kun's name make Jin Jun lose his fear for twenty years?
Children inevitably cry, parents in order to stop the children's crying, but also try their best, the most common one is "you cry again who who is coming". When I was a child, I was often frightened by my family, saying, "You cry again, the big bad wolf is coming!" "The big bad guy here who scares children, including so-and-so, animals and others, is scary enough anyway, such as the old witch, or even the big horse monkey...
Zhang Liao Zhang Wenyuan during the Three Kingdoms period was the protagonist of this sentence in many places, and it is recorded that he cried, and the children laughed, and Ru laughed: "Mother, stop crying quickly!!! ”...... Crying as before, Ru Fu said, "Why don't you say Zhang Liaolai?" "Between the beards, the child does not cry, the child does not laugh, and there is solemnity.
It is said that a certain founding general also played this role in some areas, and the current Chengguan, with its able style, is also used to scare children, "You cry again, Chengguan is coming."
During the Song Dynasty, Western Xia parents frightened children, often saying "you cry again, Liu Duhu came", Liu Duhu, is the famous general of the Southern Song Dynasty we want to talk about today, Liu Kun.
Liu Kai (1098 AD --- February 25, 1162 AD), Zi Xin Shu, a handsome brother, the history book "Mei Yi Zhi", born in the family of generals, his father Liu Zhongwu was a famous general of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liu Kun was influenced by the family style since childhood, received martial arts, military strategy education, especially his riding and shooting kung fu, very powerful.
Liu Kun followed his father to fight at a very young age, and fought on the Song Xia and Song Jin fronts for a long time. Liu Kun served as the protector of Zhimin Prefecture and longyou prefecture and was very famous among the Western Xia people. When the children of the Western Xia people cried, the adults threatened, "Liu Du has come to protect them." ”
In the first year of Shaoxing (1131 AD) and the Battle of Shangyuan, in the third year of Shaoxing (1133 AD) the Battle of Raofengguan, Wu Jie led the army to resist Jin, and Liu Kai was under Wu Jie's hands, not only bravely killing the enemy, but also carefully learning the strategy of resisting the enemy, which laid a solid theoretical foundation for him to independently command the battle thereafter. (About Wu Jie, old Nick has written about him specifically, the article is called "Wu Jie: On the achievements comparable to Yue Fei, why there is no fame", interested you can take a look.) ）
Then Emperor Gaozong of Song transferred him to his side, what was he doing? Ren "with imperial equipment" is what we commonly call "guard with a knife". In the sixth year of Shaoxing (1136 AD), Liu Kun served as the commander of the Suwei army. That is, the big head of the "guard with a knife". In the ninth year of Shaoxing (1139 AD), Liu Kun was promoted to the rank of Guozhou regimental training envoy, the commander of the Longshen Wei Sixiang capital, in charge of the Guard Ma Junsi, which was a senior general of the Southern Song Dynasty.
After the "Shaoxing Peace" of the Song and Jin dynasties in the tenth year of Shaoxing (1140 AD), according to the agreement, the Jin State returned Kaifeng Province, and Liu Kun was appointed as the deputy retainer of Tokyo, similar to the commander of the Kaifeng Garrison District, and the troops he led consisted of two parts, one part of the army under his command, and the other part of the old department of the "Eight Character Army".
The "Eight Character Army" was an anti-Jin army spontaneously organized by the people in Hebei, Henan, and Shanxi in the early Southern Song Dynasty, a bit like the meaning of the armed workers behind the enemy lines, named after the eight words of "red heart to serve the country and swear to kill the golden thief" tattooed on the face, and was an anti-Jin guerrilla group with outstanding achievements in the early Southern Song Dynasty. He cooperated with Wu Jie in the Great War of Rao Fengguan, and later became an official army under the command of Liu Kui.
This time, when we went north to Kaifeng, the troops were about 40,000 people, plus how could the family members get 100,000 people. The inspector may have to ask, why bring your family? Because the purpose of their trip was to garrison Kaifeng, they did not come back, they were stationed in Kaifeng, so they took their wives, children, and mothers-in-law with them.
Perhaps with his family to go slower, march 18 from Hangzhou, just halfway through, that is, May 15 to Shunchang (today's Fuyang, Anhui), got the news, on May 12, Jin Wushu led the army to the south to occupy Kaifeng, and now is waving his division south.
The original task was to garrison Kaifeng, but now that Kaifeng has fallen, it is impossible to go to Kaifeng, what to do? Some people suggested going back to Hangzhou, the emperor's order to us is to garrison Kaifeng, since Kaifeng can not go, go back to resume life, right?
If this is Liu Guangshi, as soon as he is about to run away, Liu Kun does not think so, he feels that there is no one more critical than the position he is in, and he decided to start defending immediately.
The first thing Liu Kui did was to find the prefect of Shunchang and ask how much grain there was in the city, and the prefect said that there were tens of thousands of grains, and 10,000 hu was about equivalent to six hundred tons now. Next, to appease the people's hearts, we will not elaborate on the arrangement of defenses, anyway, they are all ready, and the vanguard of the Golden Army has come.
Liu Kun won the first battle, the Jin army fled, Liu Kun commanded the troops to pursue, it is said that the Jin army drowned in the river during the time of crossing the river, as many as a thousand people drowned. The vanguard troops did not dare to fight again, and were stationed on the other side of the river, waiting for the large troops of the Golden Wushu.
Liu Kun arranged for a few brave soldiers to cross the river, let them see the Jin army pretending to be afraid, fell off the horse and was captured, and Jin Wushu had to be tried for a first time, and these small soldiers said that our commander Liu Kun, the second generation of officials, was proficient in eating, drinking, gambling, and gambling, but he would not fight.
Jin Wushu was pleased and said, "This city is easy to break." "In the evening, Liu Kun's emissaries came again and said to Jin Wushu, there are no boats on the river, and our grand marshal is afraid that you will not be able to cross the river, so tonight we will build a pontoon bridge overnight, and tomorrow we will ask you to cross the river for a decisive battle."
Jin Wushu laughed and wanted to play the empty city plan for me? Lao Tzu does not eat this set, tomorrow I will cross the river and fight with you!
Liu Kun really built a pontoon bridge overnight, and took his hands to do something else, what was the matter? He sprinkled poison in the grass on both sides of the river. The next day, when Jin Wushu's troops crossed the river, he found that something was not right, the people vomited and poured, and the war horses were all straight away. Before the fight starts, first cut the staff by half, have to go back.
At night, when it rained heavily and the lightning flashed and thundered, Liu Kun sent Wu Bai people across the river to rob the camp.
Generally robbing the camp, pay attention to the people to pick the bell, do not make a whole move for people to find, Liu Kun is not like this, afraid that the movement is not big enough, one person sends a whistle.
These five hundred people quietly approached the golden camp, taking advantage of the bright light of lightning, specifically cutting and killing the braids, most of the Golden Army were Jurchens, that is, the later Manchus, did not all have small pigtails, taking advantage of the lightning light, rushing up to cut, the lightning was at that moment, and then all four were completely black, the gang climbed on the ground motionless, and then the lightning came, got up and cut one, and then lay there, there were people around the camp constantly blowing whistles, one after another, I don't know how many people came, the dawn was counted, more than a thousand people were killed.
There is also a role in robbing the camp at night, you are busy during the day, just think of a good night's sleep, he tossed all night, mental tension all night, the next day which still has the spirit to fight? Liu Kun was not idle, his number of roads was the same as Wu Jie's, robbing the camp at night and cutting off the grain road during the day.
The next day Jin Wushu organized an attack, Liu Kun sent five thousand people, divided into five teams, and Wu Jie in the Monk Yuan war Jin Wushu, only one team at a time, fight for a while to change people, to say that Jin Wushu also deserves, before the monk Yuan ate Wu Jie this loss ah, how not long memory? In the end, Jin Wushu beat the spirit to take out the housekeeping skills, the iron floating slaughter, the abductors and horses were all on, one by one was cracked by Liu Kun, there was no food to eat during the day, and it was not good to sleep well at night, and finally, the Jin army was defeated and returned, and the history books "abandoned the corpses and killed the horses, the flesh and blood pillows, the flag armor, and the accumulation of mountain fu." (Regarding the Iron Floating Tu, old Nick once wrote a special article called "Iron Floating Map: How did the heavily armored cavalry unit of the Golden Vulture go from being invincible to finally being abandoned?) If you are interested, you can take a look. ）
In the eleventh year of Shaoxing (1141 AD), in February, Jin Wushu once again led a large army to invade the Jianghuai region and capture Shouchun Province, and the Southern Song Dynasty ordered Liu Kun to lead an army to meet the battle. Liu Kun sent troops to Gargao and met with the 100,000 Jin army, Liu Kun still used the fighting style of the Shunchang Campaign, breaking the Jin Army, and there were people in the Jin Army who had fast brains, and suddenly they understood that this was the gang that beat us in Shunchang last year! The Jin soldiers exclaimed, "This Shunchang banner is also", this sentence is about to kill, and the Jin army is fleeing with its head in its hands. In this battle, the Jin army was defeated and retreated to the Purple Mountain in the northwest.
In April, Yue Fei han shizhong and others were deposed from military power, and Liu Kun was not spared, and was reappointed as the prefect of Jingnan Province (荆南府, in modern Jiangling, Hubei). Six years later, he retired from the Taiping Temple in Jiangzhou. A generation will star, and then disappear.
According to legend, after Liu Kun returned to hermitage, he lived in Xiangtan, Hunan, because he was not greedy for money, and after his return to retirement, his life was very poor, and he often went to small shops in the village to drink, and the villagers did not know Liu Kun, and repeatedly scolded him.
Liu Kun sighed, "Millions of people, just waiting for idleness." Now they are being blamed. Hence the phrase "Partridge Heaven":
Bamboo leads morning glory flowers all over the street.
Moonlight sieve in a hedge hut.
Glass glass inner mao chai wine,
Clusters of bean plums in a white jade dish.
Hugh was annoyed and cheerful.
Win a smile in your life.
Three thousand miles of ignorance of oneself,
100,000 troops came with a seal.
In the thirty-first year of Shaoxing (1161 AD), When Yan Liang transferred 600,000 troops to the south, Liu Kai was reactivated, and it is said that when Yan Liang was assigned combat tasks, the tasks of attacking all the generals of the Song army were implemented one by one, and only the combat task of attacking Liu Kun's department was accepted by the whole army. Yan Liang gritted his teeth in anger and decided to personally lead a large army to fight a decisive battle with Liu Kun.
Liu Kai marched into Huaidong with illness, and at this time, there were only a few months left before his death.
