Chapter 027: Worried
On November 24 of the first year of Jingkang, in the midst of the extreme cold and snow, the Jurchen East Road army Wanyan Zongwang arrived at the city of Tokyo, and the army was stationed in the Liujia Temple five miles northeast of Tokyo.
On the 2nd day of the 11th month of the first year of Jingkang, the Jurchen West Road army Wanyan Zonghan's army also arrived at the city of Tokyo and stationed in Qingcheng outside the Xunmen Gate in the south of Tokyo. The east and west golden soldiers were divided into small villages, and they were carefully encircled, and the city of Tokyo was surrounded by water, becoming a veritable "besieged city".
The Jin people crossed the river in two ways, reaching Jinnei, from Luoyang in the west, to the south in the east, from Yingchang in the south, and to the big river in the north, all of which were occupied by the Jin people. In the midst of thousands of miles of siege, the Jingshi looked up but saw snowflakes flying, and the road was not open to China and the world, cutting off the Quartet.
The Jin people attacked the city in all directions, and the Jurchen iron cavalry galloped vertically and horizontally, and everywhere they went, they were broken, not only the surrounding areas of Gyeonggi fell one by one, but the Jin cavalry was wreaking havoc in Xiangyang, Dengzhou and other places.
That is, when the Jin people and iron cavalry were plundering everywhere, Wang Song's army took advantage of its unpreparedness and defeated Yan Yinshuke's troops in one fell swoop and drove into the city of Tokyo.
Whether it is Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Lou Room, all of them are like thunder, no one thought that Tokyo City, which had been opened by the city gate, would be closed again.
Outside the Nanxun Gate, in the Qingcheng, in the square of Wanyan Zongwang, the charcoal fire was blazing, warm as spring, and the barbecue on the fire emitted bursts of aroma, filling the entire room.
"Liu Xiang, Tokyo City has made such a fuss for Wang Song, and it is difficult to attack, in the past few days, my Dajin warriors have suffered a lot of casualties, in your opinion, how should I deal with it?"
Wanyan Zongwang cut off a piece of fresh roast mutton, put it in his mouth, and chewed it slowly.
In the room, gold, silver, jewelry, silk brocade, cattle, sheep, pigs, donkeys, tea and porcelain, everywhere, disorganized, this is all the Jurchen army plundered, the Song people, is too rich.
"Your Highness need not worry. Our army has been besieging the city of Tokyo for a month, and the grain from outside cannot be transported in, and the city of Tokyo is empty, and it will not be long before it will naturally surrender without a fight. ”
Liu Yanzong, the former minister of Liao, the current Jin Dynasty's Tongzhong Shumenxia Pingzhangshi, the Privy Council, and the think tank of Wanyan Zongwang, looked calm at the moment, stroked his beard, as if he had become a bamboo in his chest.
"Liu Xiang, having said that, as the weather gets hotter, Song reinforcements from all walks of life will naturally come, and at that time, our army will be attacked by the enemy, and the situation will probably be very bad!"
The room was as warm as spring, and Wanyan Zong looked at a glass of wine, and there was a trace of worry in his eyes.
He nodded slightly, and two young girls with light gauze Romans came up, snuggled up to Wanyan Zongwang's side, poured wine and cut meat, and the snow-white flesh under the light gauze made people's blood gush.
"That Wang Song has the courage of ten thousand people, and his subordinates are loyal and righteous soldiers, all of whom are capable of fighting well, but I am afraid that this time it may be like last year, and it will be fruitless!"
Liu Yanzong's eyes lingered on the graceful curves of the two young women for a moment, and then he shook his head and said, "Your Highness, our military envoys have repeatedly entered Tokyo City, and they are quite familiar with the situation inside. According to them, the food in Tokyo will definitely not last for two months. His Royal Highness should go out on a safari and set up camp outside the city, and the city of Tokyo will naturally be in the palm of His Highness's hands at that time. ”
Wanyan Zongwang nodded slightly, and said softly, "I hope so." Now that the two armies have become stalemate, I hope that Emperor Song will not attack and collapse, and he can take the lead in going out of the city to negotiate peace. ”
He hugged a woman, stretched in from the neckline of the light yarn, kneaded up and down, the woman's face was flushed, and she was in pain, but she didn't dare to struggle, so she could only let him go up and down, wantonly and lightly, and act arbitrarily.
It wasn't until the woman's body was blue and purple that Wanyan Zongwang was still unsatisfied and took out his hand.
"Wang Song, this thief, is scheming, it is really a problem for my henchmen of the Great Jin Dynasty, what do you say, I will also take the life of this thief!"
The loyal and righteous army is so fierce, after killing Yan Huonu, destroying Yan Saili, and defeating Yan Yinshuke, the tens of thousands of Jurchen troops have no choice, and Wanyan Zongwang is faintly uneasy.
If he can make the city of Tokyo surrender without a fight, he must cut off Wang Song's head and avenge the thousands of dead Jurchen warriors.
Liu Yanzong seemed to think about Yan Zongwang after reading it, his eyes rolled, and he said in a low voice: "Your Highness, if the strong attack is blocked, it is better to pretend to negotiate peace with Emperor Song, and promise him that as long as Wang Song's head is cut off, my Jurchen army will retreat."
Wanyan Zongwang rolled his eyes, laughed and said: "Liu Xiang, you still know the southerners, yes, let the envoy enter the city in the future, and deceive Emperor Song to see how he chooses?"
Liu Yanzong said with a smile: "Your Highness is worry-free, Emperor Song is as timid as a mouse, and indecisive, a combination of grace and power, deception and coaxing, I am not afraid that he will not go out of the city to negotiate peace, so Tokyo City will be ruined!"
In the curtain, how did he know that the time had changed now, and Zhao Huan was no longer so easy to be fooled.
"Liu Xiang, borrow your auspicious words!"
Wanyan Zongwang was in a good mood, he stood up, hugged the other woman next to him suddenly, and laughed: "Liu Xiang, I will say goodbye first, the woman in the room is up to you, you don't have to be polite."
After Yan Zongwang left, Liu Yanzong picked up the teacup, the tea was fragrant and quiet, and he was meticulous by the craftsmen of the Song people.
If all the rivers and mountains of the Great Song Dynasty belong to the Dajin Kingdom, he will be able to seal his wife and son, and he will be glorious for generations.
Several women came up with shame, all of them were as beautiful as flowers, young and young, Liu Yanzong stood up, picked two childish girls, and left with a smile.
"He Xiang, is there enough food in the city now?"
In the view of the five mountains, Wang Song picked up a piece of horse meat and put it in his mouth to chew slowly. This famous chef in Tokyo knows how to steam horse meat, and if you are a soldier in the army, it will be tasteless.
"Enough to eat?"
Zhang Shuye shook his head and said: "General Wang doesn't know, the Jin people have been besieging Tokyo for a long time, the food in the city is more expensive than usual, the poor people have no food, and the people who die of freezing and starvation rely on the roads, and the people are miserable."
He Li continued: "The capital has been besieged for half a year, and it is 2,000 rice, 2,400 wheat, 7,000 pounds of mutton, 4,000 pounds of pork, and the same is true of donkey meat. The sauce is five hundred per catty, and the oil is one thousand eight hundred. The people relied on officials to sell firewood and rice, but they were a drop in the bucket, and they starved to death. ”
"I'm scorched!"
Liu Tao said in a hoarse voice: "There is already a shortage of food in the city, so we can only protect the royal family, officials and soldiers defending the city first." Even so, it has to be measured, and no one knows how long the golden thieves can besiege the city!"
Wang Song frowned and said: "Ladies and gentlemen, now that the weather is freezing outside, dripping water into ice, is there a lack of charcoal in the city?"
"Exactly!"
Uncle Zhang shook his head and said, "The people in the city freeze to death, more than 100 people every day. His Majesty issued a decree ordering the destruction of official houses and the sale of salaries to help the people, but to no avail. ”
"Not only the official houses, but also the houses of Banzai Mountain have been demolished for heating purposes. Yesterday, someone from the Yushitai asked His Majesty to demolish Gao Yu and Yang Jian's mansion to pay his salary, I see His Majesty's intentions, but I am afraid that it will be a last resort!"
Liu Tao said: "Now in order to defend the city, you can only protect the officials and sergeants first, and the people can't take care of it!"
Wang Song couldn't help but secretly worry, he couldn't imagine that he would enter the city, but he would face a shortage of food and salary.
Thinking of the various manipulations of later generations, Wang Song's heart moved, and asked: "Zhang Xianggong, how much is the charcoal left in the city?"
An official took out the account book, flipped through it, and replied: "General Wang, there are more than 700,000 catties, save a little, and you can use it for ten days and half a month!"
"If it can be used for half a month, it can be used for a month!"
Wang Song stood up and said loudly: "Ladies and gentlemen, there is a family heirloom craft in the city, and now there is a shortage of wages in the city, so you can barely give it a try."
Wang Song also has no way, honeycomb coal, with rotten stalks, has to come in handy at this time.
A palace man dressed as an inner servant came in and whispered a few words softly in He Li's ear.
"General Wang, do you see if you can allocate 2,000 catties of horse meat out, the old man has some use here?"
Wang Song was stunned for a moment, and subconsciously asked, "Why do you want so much horse meat, can you explain it more clearly?"
He Li's face was full of embarrassment, and he said, "It's not the old man, it's the ...... Maude ...... On the Emperor's House. ”
"Emperor Maode, 2,000 catties!"
Wang Song's face turned pale, and Zhang Shuye and the others next to him also shook their heads and sighed.
These dead horses were bought by his soldiers with corpses and blood before entering the city. As soon as this Maude Emperor opened his mouth, he was 2,000 catties, and he completely regarded these things as his own things.
In the world of the Zhao and Song dynasties, any courtiers and people can plunder at will, and everyone takes it for granted.
The palace people saw that Wang Song was silent, and their faces turned pale.
"Wang Song, isn't it just 2,000 catties of horse meat, you are a little martial artist, do you also want to refute the face of Emperor Maode. Don't be ignorant, shameless!"
With a "squeak", the soldiers around Wang Song opened their eyes angrily and pulled out their knives one after another.
"You are a dog minion, and you dare to talk to a big official like this! If you talk nonsense again, be careful that I smash your dog's head!"
Niu Gao was furious. They have made such a great achievement, even the emperor is polite to give three points, where did such a pickled thing come out, and openly pointed fingers at Wang Song.
Zhang Heng pointed at the waiter with a long knife and shouted angrily: "Hurry up and get out of Lao Tzu, otherwise Lao Tzu will cut off your dog's head immediately!"
In front of these murderous soldiers, the chamberlain's face turned pale with fright, took a few steps back, and almost fell to the ground.
Wang Song waved his hand, and the generals retreated. He stepped forward and said in a deep voice: "Niu Tong, you take 200 catties of horse meat and give it to this palace person, so that he can tell Emperor Maode that these 200 catties of horse meat can be regarded as my Wang Song's filial piety to her." When I went back to the bazaar, I thought of buying a donkey and horse to make up for the gap in the army. ”
Niu Tong said loudly: "Let's go!" Stay here and do nothing, no one wants to see you!"
The waiter arched his hand and followed Niu Tong away quickly.
"General Wang, you have offended Emperor Maode. Why bother!"
Uncle Zhang's sigh was exchanged for a sneer from Wang Song.
"Arrogant, uncontrollable, shameless, anyway, it's not the first time I've offended!"
Wang Song said coldly: "These horse meats are my loyal and righteous brothers, who took them back from the battlefield with their lives, not as playthings for her to show off, reward her subordinates or give them away!"
Wang Song followed the officials to the charcoal factory. Looking at his back, Liu Tao smiled bitterly: "Wang Song is young and vigorous, Wen Tao is martial, and they are all the best choices." It's just that this temper ......."
"This temper must be difficult to walk in the court!"
He Li brushed his beard and said: "Wang Song is a public heart, regardless of death, but unfortunately he is too young and does not know how to be tactful, I'm afraid the road back is not easy to walk!"
This Wang Song is so upright that he doesn't know how to meet the left and right, in this Tokyo city, I am afraid that he will be constrained step by step, and even difficult to move an inch.
