At the end of the Sui Dynasty and the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the righteous army Xia King Dou Jiande and Liu Heimin had successively built their capitals here. The moat of the city of Zhaozhou is vast, the terrain is low-lying, surrounded by water on three sides, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it is the place where the soldiers of the past dynasties must fight.

The sun is rising, the sun is shining, a new day has begun, and the city of Zhaozhou is bathed in a warm morning.

Xiangzhou and Cizhou are separated by a water, Wang Song and others have walked all the way, there are displaced refugees everywhere along the way, beggars abound, and from time to time it can be seen that some refugees have died on the way, and their families cry to the sky. The group was silent, beating their horses and moving forward.

Outside the west gate of the city of Zhaozhou, the people who enter and leave the city are endless, merchants, soldiers, dignitaries, rich businessmen, three religions and nine streams, all gather outside the city gate, waiting for the soldiers to check, and then slowly enter and leave the city.

A few traders who had entered the city were also caught in the crowd of people coming and going, driving more than a dozen carts full of grain, apparently one or several people from the grain store, who wanted to carry the grain into the city and make a lot of money.

Since the war between Song and Jin, the price of grain in the city has remained high, and now the price of rice per liter has reached 400 Wen, and the rice shops in the city have naturally made a lot of money.

Nowadays, the road is not very peaceful, and the people who carry the goods are carrying many Zhuang Ding nursing homes to protect the safety of the goods, in case thieves or refugees "patronize".

The "Xujia Grain Store" in the city of Zhaozhou is a famous giant in the city of Zhaozhou and even in Cizhou, Zhaozhou, and the Daimyo Mansion, with a huge family.

The patriarch Xu Beiwei was born in the local county order, and Xu Beiwei's son Xu Tianshou is the master of the Yamen of Zhizhou, and he is the celebrity of Wang Lin of Zhizhou.

"Shou'er, nothing will happen, right?"

In the city of Zhaozhou, in the mansion of the Xu Mansion on South Street, Xu Beiwei paced around the hall uneasily, his face was frowning and tight, and he was restless.

Although he is said to have read poetry and books, and has also been an official of the Great Song Dynasty, from Xu Beiwei's heart, he is still a businessman, and he is just a businessman.

Businessmen pursue profits, whether it is a peaceful and prosperous world, or the turbulent times, what courtesy, righteousness and shame, loyalty and patriotism, all nonsense! People are not for themselves, the heavens and the earth will be destroyed, and he Xu Beiwei starts from himself and the interests of his family.

Although the Great Song Dynasty kept the city of Tokyo, the entire land of the two rivers had been eroded. The Song people couldn't hold the two northern lands of the river, and Xu Beiwei was convinced. The Jurchen iron cavalry roamed the world, invincible, and a large number of people and horses were stationed outside the city of Zhaozhou, and Xu Beiwei's mind had already come alive.

As soon as the Jurchen envoy entered the city, Xu Beiwei took the initiative to bend his knees and surrender. In his opinion, how could the more than 3,000 old, weak, sick and disabled shrimp soldiers and crab generals in Zhaozhou City be able to stop the Jurchen tigers and wolves.

Wang Lin, the governor of Zhaozhou, had already surrendered to the enemy, Xu Tianshou dialed a little, Wang Lin knew it, the two hit it off, decided to welcome the Jurchens, and entered the city the next day.

The Jurchen army is overwhelming, why sacrifice their lives for the Song Dynasty, good birds choose trees to perch, personal life and death, glory and wealth, compared to all things in the world, conscience and the nation in the face of interests, not to mention.

"Father, don't be impatient, everything is under control, nothing will happen!"

Xu Tianshou swore an oath. There are strong reinforcements outside, and there are Zhizhou adults inside, so what are you afraid of.

On the hall of the Yamen of the Governor of Zhaozhou, it was full of civil and military officials, large and small, and Wang Lin, the Governor of Zhaozhou, sat on it, his face was pale, and he was particularly uneasy in his heart.

"Colleagues, this official has summoned all of you to come here to discuss important matters."

Wang Lin glanced around, stabilized his mind, and said loudly: "Although it is hot now, the Jurchens are menacing and unstoppable, vowing to capture Zhaozhou, what should we do?"

Zhang Hua, the deputy envoy of the Imperial Guard, glanced coldly, hugged his fists and said: "Zhizhou Xianggong, foreign enemies are coming, we think we are killing the enemy to serve the country, and we are in a bloody field!" Could it be that you want to take refuge in the Jurchens and sell your ancestors as rumored by the outside world?"

Wang Lin glanced at the imperial envoy Han Yi and asked coldly, "What does General Han mean?"

"What does Wang Zhizhou think, you might as well say it directly, and let the lower officials and others also ponder it."

Han looked calm and said coldly: "Wang Xianggong, some people say that you want to take refuge in the Jurchens, and the envoys of the Jurchen faction have already entered the city, but I don't know if this is true?"

Wang Lin couldn't help but be shocked, and his face became solemn. He secretly wondered in his heart, could it be that what happened to the defender of the city of Zhaozhou.

However, now, the arrow is on the bow, and I have to send it, and I can't take care of it so much.

Wang Lin pretended to sigh: "General Han, this official is also worried about the people of Li under his rule, once the Jurchens break the city, they will be slaughtered, and when the time comes, all the lives will be destroyed, and they will all be ashes, this official really can't bear it!"

He sighed for a long time, his face was worried about the country and the people, he didn't know, he really thought that this minister was really a loyal and righteous person.

Han Yi was extremely disdainful in his heart, and the shaft was just a play.

Han's face remained unchanged, and he said in a deep voice: "What are Wang Zhizhou's plans, you might as well say it, and everyone will discuss it or two!"

Wang Lin clapped his hands lightly, and two Jurchens in helmets and armor walked out from behind and stood beside Wang Lin.

Everyone was shocked, looking at this costume, these two people were dressed as Jurchens, and they couldn't imagine that this Wang Lin was really going to defect to the enemy and commit treason.

Wang Linzhi was complacent, and raised his head and said: "Colleagues, these two are the envoys of the Jin Dynasty, as long as we are willing to sacrifice the city, they will not harm the people in the city, and you can also perform your original duties." I wonder what you think?"

After Wang Lin finished speaking, he sat in his seat.

A Jurchen envoy shouted a few words, and soon, a team of soldiers armed with knives and guns ran in from outside the door and from the back hall, and surrounded the various officials in the hall.

Everyone was panicked, looking at the knives and guns in front of them, at a loss.

Zhang Hua scolded sharply: "Wang Zhizhou, what are you going to do, isn't it true that you really want to defect to the enemy and treason and betray the Lord for glory?"

"Good birds choose trees to perch, and virtuous ministers choose their masters!"

Wang Lin nodded and said coldly: "General Zhang, what you said is good!" This official is going to dedicate the city to the Dajin Dynasty today to seek a future for everyone. If anyone doesn't know each other, don't blame the official for being ruthless and turning his face and not recognizing people!"

A civilian official next to him stood up and said, "Generals, it's important to save your life!" To tell you the truth, now that the Jin soldiers have arrived outside the city, you just want to organize the soldiers to resist, but it's too late!"

Everyone in the lobby looked at each other, no one spoke, and the incident was too sudden, and everyone was shocked in their hearts.

After a while, Zhang Huacai pulled out his knife and shouted angrily: "Wang Lin, you old dog, you actually colluded with the Jurchens and surrendered to the enemy and treason, it is really an unforgivable and shameless crime, this official will take your dog's life now!"

A military general next to him also pulled out his sword and said loudly: "Everyone, death is death, if you take refuge in the Jurchens today, you will be scolded and stinking for 10,000 years!" Let's follow General Zhang to kill out, kill the Jurchens, protect the city of Zhaozhou, and protect the people of Zhaozhou!"

Wang Lin's face turned pale, slapped the case table hard, and shouted angrily: "It's really stubborn, and it's innocent to die!"

He shouted.

"Do it!"

At the west gate of the city, dozens of carts loaded with grain are slowly advancing with the crowd, approaching the city gate.

"Xianggong, when the official came a few days ago, I didn't see so many people in Zhaozhou City!"

Ma Kuo looked at the crowd at the gate of the city and wondered: "I don't know what the use of Zhaozhou City is today, is it really that there is no food?"

Wang Song wiped the sweat from his head, looked at the crowd for a while, and couldn't help but be secretly frightened.

He pointed to the food and the crowd in front of him, and said in a low voice: "Ma Xuanzan, you said that on such a hot day, there are so many people wearing hats, which grain store is this, the rules are really strict!"

Ma Da was taken aback, and couldn't help but glance at the grain team in front of him, those family guards were strong and strong, with their heads raised and chests straight, and their faces were full of wind and frost.

"Xianggong, something is wrong!"

His face involuntarily became solemn.

"I'm afraid these people are all from Saibei!"

Ma Kuo said softly in Wang Song's ear: "Xianggong, these people are sturdy, they should be in the army, and they are Han people from the north who show their hair buns. It's the Jurchens who are still wearing hats on hot days!"

He has been running in the north for a long time, and has been an envoy to the Jin Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom, and his appearance is clear at a glance.

"If it's the Jurchens who wear the hats, then this is internal and external collusion."

Wang Song's face was solemn, and he said in a low voice: "These people should only be the front army, and there must be a reserve army hidden nearby to make a strategy to seize the city."

With this little gold soldier at the city gate, it is almost impossible to capture the city of Yuzhou, unless there are thousands of troops and horses. There were at least thousands of soldiers and horses in Zhaozhou, and the Jurchens could only send a large army to defend the city.

However, there are so many Han people acting as traitors, which is beyond Wang Song's expectations. These guys have no father or mother, and he's going to make these scum look good.

Ma Kuo shook his head and said: "These northern Han'er, Khitan to, then follow the Khitan, Xia Guozhi, then follow the Xia country, Jurchen to, then follow the Jurchens." I can't imagine that I, the people of China, have also become the vanguard of the Jurchens in the invasion of the Song Dynasty!"

The Youyun Han people resembled the Hu people in their living customs, and the Song people and the Great Song court despised them, resulting in a lack of awareness of their own Han identity. When the Jurchens went south twice, Yan Yunhan'er led by Guo Yaoshi, Li Sichu, and Geng Shouzhong surrendered one after another, and as the vanguard of the Jurchens going south, the harm was great!

Wang Song nodded, the reason why the Youyun Han people invested in gold was because of their attitude of seeing the wind and making the rudder; the second is that the Great Song Dynasty and the Jin Dynasty jointly destroyed the Liao, ruined the political achievements of the Youyun Han people, and made them resent the Song Dynasty; The third is that the Great Song Dynasty made many mistakes in its treatment of the Youyun Han people, which caused the Youyun Han people to fall to the Jin Dynasty one after another after being disappointed.

Ma Zhi (Zhao Liangsi) defected to the Great Song Dynasty and was loyal, but was impeached and killed by the civil officials of the Great Song Dynasty; Zhang Jue took refuge in the Great Song Dynasty, and the Jurchens coerced, and the Song people actually killed Zhang Jue and dedicated his head to the Jurchens, thus greatly losing the heart of the Han people in the north.

The court of the Great Song Dynasty was so capricious and full of ugliness, this Zhao Ji regarded governing the country as a child's play and acted recklessly, which finally led to the "shame of Jingkang".

Thinking that this dim and incompetent Emperor Taishang was in a relaxed situation, Wang Song shook his head secretly, really worried about Zhao Huan. Once something really happens, with Zhao Huan's political wisdom, I am afraid that he will not be able to match his father.

"Ma Xuanzan, Yang Zaixing, let's go and have a look."

After not fighting for a long time, Wang Song was inexplicably excited.
