Chapter 365: Bianliang Chaos

The Jin army surrounded but did not fight, but the soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City had long become frightened birds, there were robberies everywhere, there was chaos everywhere, the contradictions between the army and the people became more and more tense, and the contradictions between civilian officials and military generals gradually appeared.

After all, Zhang Shuye is a literati, and he has a set of fighting wars, but he is obviously lacking in governing the army. In addition, most of the military white squadrons in the city are forbidden troops in the capital, and most of the generals below have dealings with the four meritorious families, they are waiting for the emperor of the Han Dynasty to come to Bianliang City, waiting to defect to the Han army, how can Zhang Shuye, a civil official, obey his orders in this case?

At the beginning, Prime Minister Bai Shizhong fully cooperated with Zhang Shuye, but later Sun Fu, He Qiang, Mei Zhili, Wang Shiyong, Xu Bingzhe and other civilian officials kept complaining about the army robbing the people, and Zhang Shuye was not very concerned about this matter, which made Bai Shizhong extremely dissatisfied.

In the Great Song Dynasty, the prime minister has always been respected, and Bai Shizhong also serves as a left-behind guard in Tokyo, so it can be said that Zhang Shuye is the top boss and should have absolute leadership. Bai Shizhong is still a relatively upright official in general, with the arrogance of a prime minister, and when facing a complaint from a civilian official, he feels that when he gives an order, Uncle Zhang will immediately restrain the army. Unexpectedly, there were more and more incidents of the army causing trouble among the people, and they began to harass and loot the mansions of officials.

After Bai Shizhong's son's outer house was robbed, Bai Shizhong finally broke out, he angrily reprimanded Zhang Shuye, and ordered him to restrain the army and not have any more robberies.

I don't know if Uncle Zhang takes the robbery seriously, or if he can't restrain it at all. All in all, what Bai Shizhong said was like a fart, and it had no effect at all.

Bai Shizhong ordered to stop paying the army, because of this incident, he and Zhang Shuye had a fierce quarrel. It's a pity that when the Son of Heaven abandoned the city and fled, the authority of the political affairs hall was greatly reduced, and he couldn't suppress Uncle Zhang at all. Bai Shizhong, who felt threatened, had the idea of taking refuge in the Han Dynasty, for him, Bianliang City was destined to be unbearable, since he couldn't search for it, it was better to take refuge in the Han Dynasty.

The military salary was suspended, Uncle Zhang was furious at night, and he ordered to rob the treasury, and at this moment, the contradiction intensified, almost to the point of being out of control.

The contradictory plans in Bianliang City, these have long been passed on by the spies, there are spies from the Han State and spies from the Jin State, it can be said that these spies are fueling the flames in a sense.

For the chaos in Bianliang City, it was a good thing for the Jin State, and it was also a good thing for the Han State.

Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, didn't want to enter Bianliang City, only by entering Bianliang City, staying in the palace, and sleeping on the dragon bed, this was the real sense of replacing the Great Song Dynasty as orthodox. However, Bianliang City is the most difficult city in the world to conquer, and it is much more difficult to fight than Taiyuan, Yunzhou, Youzhou, Zhendingfu, Zhongshan Mansion, and Hejian Mansion.

If you want to take Bianliang City, you don't know how many people will die, besides, Liu Zhenglong, the son of the Han Dynasty, is unwilling to fight in the same room and is unwilling to send troops to occupy Bianliang City. That's why he sent Chai in and out of the envoy to the country of Jin. Now that there is turmoil in Bianliang City, the Jin army's siege of the city has begun. In order to alleviate Wanyan Zongbi's concerns, Liu Zhenglong ordered the First Army to go south, forcing the Yangtze River, and had the posture of crossing the river to destroy the Southern Song Dynasty.

Wanyan Zongbi has been hesitant about whether to attack Bianliang City, he is afraid that the Han army will attack. At this time, the civil strife in Bianliang City kicked off, which showed that the time was ripe to attack Bianliang.

In the fifth year of Shenlong, on the sixth day of the sixth month of June, the envoy of Emperor Wanyan Wu of the Jin State came to the front of the battle with the golden wolf's head token, which indicated that Wanyan Zongbi could not delay any longer. You must know that the golden wolf head token says that Ru Zhen is coming, that is to say, it is an order on behalf of the emperor, if Wanyan Zongbi refuses to carry it out, then Wanyan Match, the king of Wei, will replace him as the pre-war coach.

Unable to resist, Wanyan Zongbi had no choice but to prepare to attack Bianliang City.

On the seventh day of the sixth month, in the big tent of the Chinese army,

Under the supervision of Wei Wang Wanyan Sai, Wanyan Zongbi said: "Your Majesty has a will to attack Bianliang City as soon as possible, and today this commander will order that the city will be officially attacked on the ninth day of the sixth month. Wanyan Zonghan, you lead the people of the headquarters to attack the north gate, Wanyan Yanmu, you lead the people of the headquarters to attack the south gate, Wanyan Lou Room, you lead the people of the headquarters to attack the west gate, Wanyan Yinshuke, you lead the people of the headquarters to attack the east gate, and the commander personally supervises the formation to prevent the Han army from sneaking attack. ”

King Wei Wanyan said: "This king said a few words, Your Majesty has reached an agreement with the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, before the Double Ninth Festival in early September, if the Jin army takes Bianliang City, the Han army will not send troops to intervene." If it can't be taken, it must withdraw its troops back to the north of the Yellow River. Therefore, the time left for you to attack the city is three months, during which you should let go of the attack, and do not worry that the Han army will attack behind. ”

Does this agreement work? Anyway, Wanyan Zongbi didn't take it seriously, but he also knew that he had to fight quickly, otherwise it would be more and more difficult to fight later, under the supervision of the Han army, it would be impossible to threh grain and grass at all, and if there was no grain and grass, even if the Jin army did not drive away, it must be withdrawn to the north of the Yellow River.

Although His Majesty the Emperor had an agreement with the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, in order to ensure that nothing went wrong, Wan Yan Zongbi still sent Wan Yan Hai to the Han army camp to visit the Son of Heaven of the Han Dynasty, hoping to come to a gentleman's agreement.

Whether the gentleman's agreement is useful or not, to be honest, Wanyan Zongbi is not very clear, but he still does it =, after all, the powerful Han army is behind it, and it is always a big trouble.

The Emperor of the Han Dynasty replied very cheerfully, that is, the Han army would not send troops before the ninth day of September, but if the ninth Jin army had not yet taken Bianliang City at the beginning of September, then obediently withdraw to the north of the Yellow River, and if it was not evacuated, the two sides would go to war.

After the envoy of the Jin State left, the military advisor Zhuyun Long Gongsun Sheng came, and he asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, why do we want to make an agreement with the Jin Guolai Gentleman, this agreement is not beneficial to our Han Dynasty, and with the strength of the Han army, it can only defeat the Jin army." ”

Liu Zhenglong, the son of heaven of the Han Dynasty, still admires Sun Sheng, the prince of Zhuyun Long, this Taoist priest is unrestrained, and he doesn't care much about etiquette, this may be the only person who can be presumptuous in front of the Son of Heaven.

Liu Zhenglong motioned for Gongsun Sheng to sit down and said, "How long do you think it will take for the Jin army to take Bianliang City?" ”

Gongsun Sheng really didn't think about this problem, and after thinking for a long time, he said: "Under normal circumstances, Uncle Zhang can stay for more than half a year, maybe more than a year, but he will definitely be able to take Bianliang City." ”

"Three months, three months or so, the Jin army will definitely be able to conquer Bianliang City." Liu Zhenglong, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was very determined, and he said with a smile: "The officials of the Song State like infighting, and Uncle Zhang and Bai Shizhong have a lot of trouble, which is the biggest taboo before the war. Therefore, I firmly believe that it is what it will be like for three months. Besides, whether the Jin army can take Bianliang City in three months seems to have nothing to do with our Han. ”

"Your Majesty, what do you mean?" This time, Gongsun Sheng was a little confused, and he couldn't figure out what medicine was in His Majesty's gourd.

"It really means that as long as the Jin army enters the outer city of Bianliang City, the Han army will kill it and wipe out the Jin army in the middle of the inner city and the outer city." Speaking of this, the Son of Heaven of the Great Han paused for a moment and said, "If the Jin army has not conquered the outer city of Bianliang City, then it is better to send them back, after all, I have not thought about a decisive battle with the Jin army at this time." Of course, if the Jin army doesn't leave, then see you on the battlefield. ”

"However, Your Majesty, if the Jin army captures the outer city of Bianliang City within three months, and we launch an attack, wouldn't it be a breach of trust."

"Ridiculous, how can I not believe what I say?" Speaking of this, Liu Zhenglong showed a treacherous smile on his face, and he said: "Don't worry, Uncle Zhang will definitely be able to stay for three months, I believe in him." ”

Sun Sheng, the Duke of Zhuyun Dragon, suddenly thought of something, and he said helplessly: "Your Majesty, do you want your ministers to go to Bianliang City?" ”

"Persuade Bai Shizhong and let him support Uncle Zhang's night vigil until the Double Ninth Festival in early September, and I will make a credit for him." How can Liu Zhenglong be untrustworthy? After all, he is the son of the Han Dynasty, if he loses his trust in the world, then where is the majesty of the Han Dynasty? The reason why he did this was mainly to urge the Jin army to send troops to attack Bianliang City, and he also firmly believed that as long as Bai Shizhong cooperated with Zhang Shuye, there would be no problem in holding on for three months.

Gongsun Shengji understood, His Majesty dug a pit to let himself jump in, and he had already calculated that he would let himself run, but if he didn't go to Bianliang City, he was the only one who could convince Bai Shizhong. In addition, he hasn't been back for a long time, and if it weren't for this matter, maybe he wouldn't have come back, and he now understands His Majesty's good intentions.

"Since you're here, don't go, I know that you don't like to be an official, and I have already built a Taoist temple for you in the imperial capital, and you are a national teacher, which can be regarded as fulfilling the righteousness of you and my monarchs and ministers, and I can also meet you on weekdays, catch up with the past, and chat."

Now that His Majesty has said this, if he leaves again, he will not know the current affairs, Gongsun Sheng smiled and said: "The minister also hopes to see the Han Dynasty create a prosperous era, and he is also willing to die for the Han Dynasty, and he will definitely not travel all over the world again." ”

The monarchs and ministers looked at each other and smiled, Gongsun Sheng has not done much to the Han Dynasty, but he has been observing the growth of the Han Dynasty, he knows that it is a foregone conclusion that the Han Dynasty will replace the Song Dynasty, and the Emperor of the Han Dynasty is destined to become the Qin Emperor Han Wu, a generation of heroes like the Tang Dynasty and Song Zu, and create a prosperous era of the Han Dynasty.

The Jin army has besieged the city, and if you want to enter Bianliang City in this case, it is definitely not something that ordinary people can do, and only a few people in the world such as Wang Yin, Lin Lingsu, Liu Zhenglong, Gongsun Sheng, Xiao Hong and so on can do it. At this moment, Wang Yin is old, stay in the imperial capital to teach and no longer go out, Lin Lingsu has traveled all over the world, Xiao Hong has become a concubine, and Liu Zhenglong, as the son of the Han Dynasty, of course can't go, and only Gongsun Sheng of Yunlong is left.

If those people enter the city, they rely on peerless light skills, and Gongsun Sheng relies on spells, as for what kind of spell it is, then the outside world does not know.

That night, Sun Sheng, the Duke of Zhuyun Long, entered Bianliang City, but he did not go to visit Bai Shizhong immediately, but visited Zhang Shuye first.

The two were still a little related before, and this meeting did not seem very abrupt.

Uncle Zhang was afraid that Gongsun Sheng would persuade him to surrender to Zhuyun Long, so he sealed the other party's words as soon as he opened his mouth, and he said to Gongsun Sheng with a smile: "Today, you and I are our own masters, so don't talk about military affairs, today is just a reminiscence, what do you think." ”

"Don't worry, I'm not here to persuade you to surrender, the Son of Heaven will not persuade anyone to surrender, but just welcome people with lofty ideals to come and defect." Gongsun Sheng came up and set the tone, he looked at Zhang Shuye coldly and said: "I came today, mainly to do a few things, the first is to coordinate the contradiction between you and Bai Shizhong, to put it bluntly, the contradiction between the military leader and the civilian clique." The second is to deal with the so-called problem of arson robbery. To tell you the truth, this is your biggest decisive failure, the Han has a million soldiers and a thousand generals, but there has never been a similar incident. You can find all kinds of explanations, but these explanations are actually of no value at all, because you are the commander of the three armed forces, and if you are not strict in governing the army, something big will happen. Third, the Water Gate was the biggest weakness of the city's defense, and considering that the Jin army might deploy heavy troops to attack the Water Gate. At this time, the Jin army was besieging the city, and any small negligence could lead to the fall of the capital. ”

Historically, the Jin army conquered Bianliang City through the Water Gate, which is also the only loophole in Bianliang, the strongest city in the world, and it is also an irreparable loophole. After all, the entry of large quantities of goods into the capital makes the existence of the Water Gate very necessary, but the defense of the Water Gate is the weakest, which gives the enemy the opportunity to break through the city.

Uncle Zhang has a strategy for fighting at night, but it is very weak to govern the army and defend the city, but this is understandable, he is actually a civilian official, but he led the troops by mistake.

"The water gate is the biggest hidden danger in Bianliang City, but how to deal with it?"

"Seal the water gate."

"That's not good, in the future, Your Majesty will return, Bianliang City, as the national capital, has a huge amount of foreign trade, and it is inseparable from who is the Water Gate, if the Water Gate is blocked, Your Majesty will return in the future, and you will blame me."

Gongsun Sheng said coldly: "Do you think Zhao Gou can still return?" ”

"What do you mean?" Zhang Shuye's face suddenly became much more ugly, and he was very dissatisfied with Gongsun Sheng's attitude.

"The First Han Corps has been stationed on the north bank of the Yangtze River, do you think the weak Song army can break through the defense line of the Han Iron Army? If it can't break through, then Bianliang City will become a piece of the Great Song Dynasty, and next to the couch, how can others be allowed to sleep soundly. The Emperor of the Han Dynasty has strictly ordered the generals below to spend the Chinese New Year in Bianliang City this year, in this case, how can the Han army not enter Bianliang City smoothly. ”

The deception was too much, and Zhang Shuye was very disgusted with the attitude of Sun Sheng, the Dragon Gongsun of Zhuyun. However, he also knew that what they said was right, once Bianliang City and the imperial court were separated, then it would be a matter of time before Bianliang City fell.

It's one thing to know, but it's another thing for others to say it, which means that the Han Dynasty's destruction of the Song Dynasty has been put on the agenda, in other words, the Han Dynasty already has the strength to unify the world.
