The original text
Zong Ze was strict and well-managed.
Jin will cross the river with Wu Shu and plan to attack Bianjing. The generals should cut off the river beam first, and Yan Bing will fix himself. Ze smiled and said, "Last winter, Jin rode straight and was sitting on the broken river beam." It was ordered that Liu Yan should be slippery and Liu Da Zheng, so as to divide the enemy's potential and stop the generals from trying their best to protect the river beam, so as to gather the soldiers. When the Jin people heard it, they broke the river beam at night and fled.
In two years, Jin people arrived in Baisha from Zheng and went to Bianjing Mier. Everyone was shocked, and his subordinates entered the game. Zefang played Weiqi with a smile and said, "What's the matter? Liu Yan and others will be able to defend against the enemy outside." We chose thousands of elite soldiers to bypass the enemy's rear lines, ambush them for their way back, fight with Yan, ambush them, attack them from front to back, and the Jin defeated them.
Jin will stick to Xijing and hold a stalemate with Ze. Ze sent Li Jingliang, Yan Zhongli and Guo Junmin to lead the troops to Zheng. When they met the enemy's war, they died of neutrality, and the people surrendered, and Jingliang fled. Ze captured Jing Liang and said, "If you are invincible, you can forgive your sins.": If you run away privately, you will have no master. " Behead him to show partiality. Then Junmin and Jin generals named Shi and Yan people He Zhongzu held books to attract Ze, and Ze counted Junmin and said, "You were a loyal ghost after your defeat, but now you are seducing Jin people with books. How can you see me?" Cut it. Shi said, "I have only died because of this soil. You are a general, you can't be my sworn enemy, but you want to seduce me with your daughter's words. " Also cut it. It's called Zhong Zu's intimidation and loan.

Excerpt from a biography of Zong Ze in Song Dynasty
Translation
Jin crossed the Yellow River with Wu Shu, intending to attack Kaifeng, the old capital of Song Dynasty. The generals asked Zong Ze to tear down the river bridge first, and the whole army was strictly defended. Zong Ze said with a smile: "Last winter, the Jin Army cavalry rushed over because it broke the river bridge." So he ordered Liu Yan to get to Slip, and Liu Da to get to Zheng, to disperse the enemy's forces, and warned the public that they would try their best to protect the river bridge for the gathering of soldiers. The nomads from the army heard about it and broke the river bridge at night and escaped.
In the second year of Jingkang (AD 1126), Jin Bing arrived in Baisha Town, Henan Province from Zhengdi, which was very close to Fengfeng. People in the capital were very harmful to Bo. His subordinate officials came to ask for advice. Zong Ze was playing Go with the guests and said with a smile, "What's so scary? Liu Yan and others will certainly be able to resist the enemy's attack outside." So he picked out thousands of elite soldiers and ordered them to go out of the city and go around the enemy's rear and lie in ambush on their retreat. Nomads from the army just engaged Liu Yan. The ambush attacked and attacked them from front to back, and 8 jin j was defeated.
Jin will occupy Luoyang in Xijing and confront Zong Ze. Zong Ze sent Li Jingliang, Yan Zhongli and Guo Junmin to lead the troops to Zheng, where they met the enemy and fought fiercely. Yan Zhongli died, Guo Junmin surrendered and Li Jingliang fled. Zong Ze caught Li Jingliang and said to him: "If you can't overcome, you can forgive your sins; Running away privately means that there is no Lord in your eyes. " So he cut off his head and showed it to the public. Then, Guo Junmin and Jin Jiang's surname Shi and Yan's He Zhongzu and others came to surrender Zong Ze with letters. Zong Ze blamed Guo Junmin for saying, "You died after defeat, and you can still be a ghost of loyalty. Today, you lured me to surrender with a letter from Jin. What face do you have to see me?" So he killed him. Zong Ze said to Jin Jiang, whose surname is Shi, "I only want to die to defend this land. As a general of other countries, you can't stop me by desperate battlefield, just want to seduce me with the words of children and women? " Kill him too. Zong Ze thought He Zhongzu was a follower and forgave him.
Liu Yan returned to the army, and the nomads from the army entered the sliding state again, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Zhang? When he asked for reinforcements, Zong Ze chose 5, soldiers and handed them over to him, telling him not to play easily and to wait for reinforcements. Zhang? When it comes to sliding against Jin Bing, Jin Jun's cavalry is 1 times that of him. People ask to avoid the enemy's edge a little. Zhang? He said, "If you drag out an ignoble existence by avoiding danger, how dare you say goodbye to Zonggong?" Fight hard and die in this fight. Zong Ze heard about Zhang? In an emergency, Wang Xuan was sent to help him with 5 cavalry. Zhang? It's been two days since Wang Xuan arrived. Wang Xuan fought the nomads from the war and beat them away. Zong Ze welcomed Zhang? Body, pension for his family. Let Wang Xuan preside over the military and political affairs of the sliding state for the time being, and the nomads from now on dare not invade Kaifeng again. 2. Translation of Biography of Zong Ze in Song Dynasty
Zong Ze, whose name is Ru Lin, is from Yiwu, Wuzhou.
Liu, the mother, dreamed that there was fierce lightning in the sky, which shone on her, and Zong Ze was born the next day. Zong Ze was bold and ambitious since he was a child, and he was a scholar in Zhongyuan for six years (191).
During the court interview, Zong Ze tried his best to point out Chen's shortcomings. The examiner hated him for being too straight and ranked him as the last one. Zong Ze was transferred to Daming Guantao County Commandant.
Lv Huiqing sent an obituary to Zong Ze and Yi Ling to inspect the Yellow River dike facilities. The obituary arrived just as Zong Ze's eldest son died, but Zong Ze was instructed to leave immediately. Lv Huiqing learned that he said, "It can be called forgetting his home for his country."
At that time, the imperial court was digging a royal river on a large scale. In the middle of winter, the serviceman died of rigidity in Tao, but the envoy still urged him urgently. Zong Ze thought it was a trivial matter to dredge the royal river, so he wrote to the commander: "When the weather in the north is cold, it is difficult for the people to succeed in vain. If you slow down a little, you can succeed without bothering in the early spring."
Finally, the handsome minister played his opinion to the emperor and was adopted. Lv Huiqing called Zong Ze as his subordinate, and Zong Ze declined.
Zong Ze was transferred to Longyou County, Quzhou. People in Longyou didn't know how to learn, so Zong Ze set up a school for them, hired Confucian teachers, and talked about Confucian classics. As a result, customs changed. Since then, people in Longyou have been admitted to the examination.
Zong Ze was transferred to Zhao Cheng County, Jinzhou. After taking office, Zong Ze wrote a letter requesting that Zhao Cheng be promoted from county to army, and presented a book, but the court did not fully adopt his request.
Zong Ze said, "Cheng Ping is certainly not worried, but if there is an alarm some day, you will know what I said." Zong Ze was appointed as the magistrate of Ye County, Laizhou.
The imperial court sent envoys to buy bezoar, and Zong Ze reported, "When an epidemic occurs, cow poisoning turns yellow. Now that there is harmony, how can cows turn yellow? " The messenger was angry and wanted to impeach the city official.
Zong Ze said, "This is what I Zong Ze meant." And personally played this matter to the emperor.
Zong Ze was appointed as the general judge of Dengzhou. There are hundreds of hectares of official land in Dengzhou, all of which are barren. Every year, more than 1, yuan of taxes are paid, mostly from the people. Zong Ze played a request to be removed.
The imperial court sent envoys from Dengzhou to unite Nuzhen and form an alliance with the sea in an attempt to attack Qidan. Zong Ze said to his relatives and friends, "There will be much trouble in the world." Zong Ze retired to Dongyang and built a hut in the valley.
In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Zhong Cheng, Chen Guoting and others jointly recommended Zong Ze to be appointed as Zong Zheng Shaoqing. Zong Ze said, "This trip is not going to be born again."
When someone asked him why, Zong Ze said, "It's good that the enemy can repent and withdraw, otherwise, how can he bow to the Jin people to humiliate your life?" Some people think that Zong Ze's uprightness and unyielding will be harmful to peace talks, so the emperor did not send him to the embassy, and appointed him as the Cizhou Zhizhou.
At that time, Taiyuan fell, and all the officials in Lianghe area were absent under an excuse. Zong Ze said, "It is impossible to escape from difficulties while receiving a salary from the imperial court."
Zong Ze was ordered to ride on the road alone that day, accompanied by only a dozen old and weak soldiers. After Cizhou was ravaged by enemy soldiers, the people fled and the warehouse was empty.
Zong Ze arrived, repaired the city wall, dredged the pond, rectified the equipment, recruited volunteers, and began to make plans to stick to it. He said: "Xing, Luo, Magnetic, Yue and Xiang have 2, chosen men each. If the enemy attacks one county, the other four counties should help, so that the strength of one county is always maintained at 1,."
The Emperor praised him and appointed Zong Ze as the general manager of Hebei Volunteer Capital. The Jin people broke through the real situation, led the troops to take Qingyuan from the south, and crossed the Yellow River from Li Gu. Worried that Zong Ze led his troops to track from the rear, they sent thousands of cavalry to attack Cizhou directly.
Zong Ze armored himself and went to the city. He ordered a strong man to ride and shoot the enemy away with an arm bow. Then he opened the door to pursue and killed hundreds of people. All the captured sheep, horses, gold and silks were rewarded to the soldiers.
Kang Wang once again sent an envoy to the Golden Camp. After passing through Cizhou, Zong Ze greeted him and said, "Su Wang will never come back, and now the enemy has called for the King in a sly way, hoping not to go." Kang Wang then turned back to Xiangzhou.
The imperial court issued a decree, with Zong Ze as the deputy marshal, and followed King Kang to set out to rescue the capital. Zong Ze thought that the soldiers should immediately cross Li Gu and cut off the enemy's return. Others disagreed, so Zong Ze led the troops to cross Li Gu alone, and met the nomads from the road. Zong Ze sent Qin Guangbi and Zhang De to attack and defeated the nomads from the road.
after the defeat of the Jin people, the soldiers were stationed separately. Zong Ze sent strong men to attack Jinying by night, and breached more than 3 mounds.
At that time, Kang Wang set up the Grand Marshal's Mansion, ordering the generals to be famous. Zong Ze crossed the Yellow River on ice and met Kang Wang, saying that the city had been besieged for a long time, and the rescue of the city should not be slow.
It happened that Cao Fu, the Privy Council official who signed the book, came from Beijing with wax to seal the imperial edict of Qin Zong, saying that it was possible to negotiate. Zong Ze said, "The Jin people are cunning, but they just want to deceive our army.
Your father's desire for help is more than hunger and thirst. He should make his soldiers go straight to the abyss and build camps in turn to solve the siege of Beijing. In case the enemy has other plots, our soldiers are already at the gate. "
Wang Boyan and others tried to block the difficulties and advised Kang Wang to send Zong Ze first. From then on, Zong Ze could not participate in the deliberation in the Marshal's House. In the first month of the second year of Jingkang, Zong Ze went to Kaide, and he won all 13 battles with the Jin people. He sent a letter to advise Kang Wang to order all the soldiers to go to Beijing.
Zong Ze also sent a letter to Zhao Ye, the general manager of North Road, Fan Ne, the propaganda envoy of Hedong North Road, and Zeng Mao, the government of Zhixing Renfu, asking them to join forces to rescue the capital. All three people thought Zong Ze was arrogant and ignored him.
Zong Ze led his way alone, and all told Chen Cui that the enemy was in full swing and could not make a move. Zong Ze was angry and wanted to behead Chen Cui. The generals asked for forgiveness of Chen Cui and let him work with death.
Zong Ze ordered Chen Cui to enter the army and meet the enemy. Chen Cui defeated the enemy. When the Jin attacked and opened Germany, Zong Ze sent Kong Yanwei to fight and defeated the enemy again.
Zong Ze estimated that the Jin people would definitely invade Puyang, so he sent 3, cavalry to rescue them in advance. As a result, the Jin people really attacked Puyang and were defeated. Jin attacked Germany for the second time, and Quan Bangyan and Kong Yanwei joined forces to attack, and Jin Bing was defeated again.
Zong Ze led the troops to Weinan, considering that he would be alone in Serenade and could not succeed without going deep into the enemy camp. The Pioneer Officer reported that there was an enemy barracks ahead, and Zong Ze commanded his soldiers to go straight ahead and engage the enemy and defeat him.
Zong Ze led the troops to the east, and the enemy kept sending reinforcements. Wang Xiaozhong died in battle, and there were enemy camps before and after. Zong Ze ordered: "Now both advance and retreat are mortal, and we have to survive from death."
soldiers know that they always die, and they all take one as a hundred, killing thousands of enemies. The Jin people were defeated and retreated dozens of miles.
Zong Ze estimated that the number of the enemy was ten times greater than his own. If he retreated after World War I today, he will definitely come again. It would be dangerous if all the nomads came out to attack our army at night. So he moved the army in the dark.
Jin ren that night.
