Chapter 063: Blood and Tears
After several days of fighting, he finally settled down.
In the city of Zhaozhou, the Jin soldiers finally stopped attacking the city, and the famous city of Zhaozhou finally gained a moment of peace.
"Song and Jin made peace, Song and Jin took the Yellow River as the boundary, Song cut the land of the two rivers in Jin, and the Song Emperor respected the gold lord as his brother, and the year was dedicated to the silver ......"
In a house on Chengnan Street in Zhaozhou, Han Yi sat under a tree in the courtyard, holding a "warning bell" in his hand, his hands trembled, and his expression was in a trance.
"Official, what's wrong with you, why is your face so ugly, are you injured?"
Han's wife came out of the tea, and when she saw her husband's ugly face, she asked with concern.
Han Yi put down the newspaper, shook his head, and said, "The newspaper said that the imperial court announced that it would move south and cede Hedong and Hebei. In the future, this land of Hebei will be the Jin people. ”
"Official, is this what the newspaper said, or is it an edict from the imperial court?"
Han Yi looked at the newspaper suspiciously, nodded and said, "Although there is no imperial decree from the imperial court, what this "Warning Bell" says is clear-eyed, and I am afraid it is not groundless."
Han's wife looked at her husband and asked softly, "If the imperial court decrees to cede the land of the two rivers, what should you do?"
Han Yi shook his head and said, "Lady, I won't tell you, I'm also distressed now." If you stay to defend the city, I am afraid that it will violate the will of the imperial court. If you leave like this, you will be sorry for the old folks in Zhaozhou. I'm so embarrassed!"
"Officials, Emperor Song is mediocre, and the people are displaced and miserable. If you want to leave, how can you be worthy of the thousands of people in Zhaozhou. If you want to be the slave of the Song Emperor or the guardian of the people, you have to think clearly. ”
Han Yi looked at his wife and was speechless.
The Jin people invaded the south, and his wife's family was killed, and none of them survived. Han Yi's own neighbors, relatives and friends, also died under the butcher's knife of the Jin people. In both public and private, he should give an account to the people.
"Don't worry, I have a plan in my heart."
Han Yi said solemnly, his eyes firm.
He is a dignified seven-foot man, is he not as good as a woman!
Just thinking of that Lord Zhizhou, Han Yi's heart couldn't help but sink. If the peace agreement is true, I don't know how many incidents will be caused by this guy?
"What, the imperial court has reached a peace with the Jin people, and the Emperor Taishang has moved the capital to Jiangnan, is it true what you said?"
In the back hall of the Yamen of Zhizhou, Huang Qianshan was wearing a coat, his expression was solemn, and he was holding an edict in his hand.
"No wonder today's newspapers say that Song Jin has reached a peace agreement, it seems that this is the real thing."
"How dare the villain deceive Xianggong!"
The officer pointed to the edict in Huang Qianshan's hand and said: "If it weren't for the fact that the Jin people were attacking the city and the situation was urgent, the villain would not have entered the city overnight to inform him of this!"
Hearing what the officer said, Huang Qianshan sat down and thought about it alone in his heart.
"Immediately summon Han Yi, Zhang Hua and other generals to come over and let them read the imperial court's edict. At the same time, tell the Jin people outside the city to stop the siege. Our army will quickly withdraw from the city of Zhaozhou, and do not fight again. ”
After a while, Huang Qianshan stood up and said categorically.
The subordinates were just about to go out, but Huang Er stepped forward to stop him and said, "Xianggong, it's better to recruit Han Yi and the others first, and talk about it after the collegiate discussion." Xianggong should know about Taiyuan Mansion Lu Yundi and don't cause unnecessary trouble. ”
In the first year of Jingkang (1126), Song and Jin made peace and ceded the three towns of Hejian, Zhending and Taiyuan. Lu Yundi, who was the secretary of the Ministry of War and signed the Privy Council, went to Taiyuan to announce the cession. Wang Yu, the Taiyuan guard, sent someone to hang Lu Yundi into the city with a hanging basket. Lu Yundi announced the cession of Taiyuan prefect Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Yu and others, but was strictly refused. The soldiers and civilians in the city all held weapons in their hands, glared at Lu Yundi and his entourage, Lu Yundi was ashamed, and went down the city.
Although Taiyuan was finally captured by the Jin, the battle of Taiyuan greatly boosted the morale of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty.
Huang Qianshan rolled his eyes, nodded and said, "Then read the edict with everyone first, and then inform the Jin people."
These rough men in the army, the old and the young, relatives and friends are all in Zhaozhou, and it may not be easy to persuade them to leave.
When Han Yi walked out of the lobby of the mansion, he had secretly made up his mind in his heart.
"Han Tong, do you really want to be like Huang Qianshan and give up the city of Haozhou to Fanzi? There are tens of thousands of people in the city, let's leave, and the Jurchens don't know how to deal with them!"
Seeing Han Yi and the others coming out of the Zhizhou Yamen, a group of generals who were already waiting here greeted them.
Han was grim and silent. Zhang Hua next to him said in a low voice: "Although the Han system agreed to Huang Qianshan's house, it has other arrangements. Tomorrow, when the city gate is wide open and Fanzi enters the city, let's take advantage of Fanzi's unpreparedness, bow and crossbow together, just those earth-shattering thunder, you can kill and injure a lot. ”
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and an officer said in a low voice: "Huang Qianshan, this old thief, only knows how to chant poetry and paint all day long, where to guard the city." Take advantage of the chaos tomorrow to kill this thief, and everything will be fine!"
"I'm afraid that this old thief is another Fan Zhixu, and when the time comes, he will abandon the city and flee, but he will suffer the brothers and the people in the city!"
The words of a white-haired general made everyone worry.
"Just guard the city wall, don't let the fan take advantage of it."
Han Yi said categorically: "Order, go down, early tomorrow morning, find some people, let them change into our clothes and armor, and let them leave the city of Zhaozhou first." When the Jin people enter the city, let's export the bird's breath again!"
After days of fighting, Han Yi was exhausted and was in a daze, when he was suddenly woken up by the earth-shattering exclamation.
"General Han, it's not good, the city gate is broken, and Fanzi rushed in!"
Han Yi was excited, turned over all of a sudden, climbed the city wall, and looked out.
As far as the eye could see, Han Yi's eyes were dark, and he almost fell to the ground.
In the early morning, there was still some fog in the wilderness. The southern city gate of Zhaozhou was opened, and countless Jurchen soldiers with guns and knives passed through the city gate and rushed in from the south of the city.
The Jurchen soldiers cut down people when they saw them, and killed them when they saw them. The people who had just left the house panicked and fled, one by one lying in pools of blood.
The Jin soldiers did not chase and kill the people, but one went up to the city wall, and the other came from Nanjie and went straight to the city head and the military camp.
Zhang Hua's face turned pale, and he shouted angrily: "What's going on, why did the south gate open?"
The soldier's face showed a look of grief and indignation, and he said angrily: "As soon as the day dawned, Huang Qianshan's old thief quietly opened the south city gate and led his subordinates to withdraw. Now Fanzi has come in. General, how are we going to deal with it?"
"This damn dog thief is really another Fan Zhixu!"
Han Yi took out his long knife and said loudly at the soldiers of the six gods and no masters on the city wall: "Brothers, we still have thousands of people, how can we resist Fanzi for a while. We can't leave behind the tens of thousands of people in this city! ”
Zhang Hua said in a deep voice: "Brothers, the left and right are dead, today we will fight with Fanzi, killing one is enough, killing two to earn one!"
Looking at the silent soldiers in front of him, Han Yi yelled: "General Zhang led people to escort the people and the families of his brothers away, and the rest of the people stayed with me to fight hard, what do you think?"
Finally, a soldier stood up and said: "The Han system has said so, so the brothers naturally have nothing to say." The villain is willing to stay and break off with the Han rule. ”
One person took the lead, and the other soldiers also stepped forward. Han Yi sent a part of the soldiers and asked Zhang Hua to lead them to protect the West City Gate and arrange for the people to go out of the city.
Zhang Hua made a look, and the soldiers clamped Han Yi left and right, and went down the city together.
Han Yi said angrily: "Zhang Hua, what are you going to do, do you want to disobey the military order?"
Zhang Hua said loudly: "Han Tong, the families of the brothers, and the people in the city are all handed over to you. You have to take care of them! ”
The west gate slowly opened, and the people rushed to escape from the city, and when they saw the golden people swarming on the city wall, Zhang Hua shouted: "Brothers, if you want your family to be safe and sound, and if you want the people of the Song Dynasty to live a few more, you will kill these fans with me!"
"Kill Fanzi!"
Zhang Hua took the lead to greet him.
Han Yi's eyes were blood-red, and he said to his soldiers: "Han Hu, I will lead people to block the Fanzi in the city, you take your family and people to withdraw from the West Gate, and escape as far as possible!" Go quickly!"
Seeing the Jurchen army approaching closer, Han Hu gritted his teeth and turned around and walked towards the barracks.
Han Yiyi took the lead, and the Song soldiers behind him all had red eyes and walked towards the swarming Jin soldiers.
Han Hu returned to the door of the main house, but saw thick smoke billowing out, obviously there was a fire in the house, and the housemother had died in the fire.
Han Hu had no choice but to take a group of guards to escort the people and their families who fled from the city all the way to the west. Under the pursuit of the Jin people, they left behind the corpses all the way.
Even if they had escaped far away, Han Hu and the surviving people could still see the rain of arrows in the city, and the shouts of killing one after another did not subside for a long time.
Han Hu's heart was like a knife, and he took the remnants of five or six thousand people along the north bank of the Lishui River and headed west.
In the city of Zhaozhou, the streets are full of corpses, the ground is full of blood, and there are green smoke and burning houses everywhere.
On the streets, from time to time, you can see people fleeing in panic being cut down and stabbed to the ground, making terrible screams. There were Jin soldiers chasing women everywhere, and many Song women were ravaged in broad daylight.
There are also desperate and Song people who rose up to resist, but the other party is overwhelmed, and they are sharp blades, although the people are commendable, but they fell in a pool of blood one by one, becoming the soul of the golden man's knife.
On the school field in the north of the city, the captive people were tied up one by one and packed into cloth bags. The Jurchen knights rode up on horseback, and after some trampling, they all lost their lives.
Hundreds of young women were detained on the side of the school grounds, watching their families being trampled to death one by one by these golden people, except for tears, but there was nothing they could do.
Several women saw their relatives being tortured and scolded loudly, but they were pulled aside by the gold people, violently committed violence on the spot, and repeatedly ravaged them.
Bestiality, killing, blood, corpses, fire, smoke, the entire city of Laozhou, the beasts did whatever they wanted, and their eyes were red.
In the Yamen of Zhizhou, Wanyan Yan's mother sat in the lobby, covered in blood donations. occupied the city of Zhaozhou, but his face was pale, without the slightest excitement that a victor should have.
Since Wang Song's creation of the Loyal and Righteous Army, this battle has become more and more difficult to fight!
In today's battle, his subordinates lost sixty percent of the Han'er, and even the Jurchen knights lost hundreds of them, which can really be described as heavy casualties.
Even the wife of Han Yi, the guard general of the Song army, set herself on fire when the city was broken, and the women did not let her eyebrows.
The sergeant walked in, his face pale, and said in a trembling voice: "Deputy Commander, Ma Wu's subordinates are back!"
Wanyan Yan's mother was stunned for a moment, and when she saw a few trembling Jurchen knights behind her, she blurted out: "What about Ma Wu, why are there only a few of you?"
The knights knelt down together, and one of the knights trembled: "Deputy Commander, our army was attacked by the Song army in Handan City, and the whole army was annihilated, and General Ma Wu was also killed!"
Wanyan Yan's mother shook her body and sat on the chair.
On June 23 of the first year of Jianyan of the Great Song Dynasty, the city of Zhaozhou on Hebei East Road was broken, and Huang Qianshan of Zhizhou abandoned the city and left, and more than 2,000 soldiers under the command of Han Yi and his subordinates were all killed. The people of the city, except for the few thousand who fled, were slaughtered by the Jin. The Jin people then burned the city, and the former prosperous place of the city of Zhaozhou was scorched earth.
