"That Zi Yan sent a letter back to Wang Xianggong, saying that this king was sent to the north, just arrived in Cizhou, he contracted the cold, it was to recuperate, not to go north, and heard that the enemy soldiers had crossed south, so he had already written to Tokyo, in order to judge the saint. Don't dare to return south! ”

Zhao Gou remembered that Wang Boyan was an important minister at the beginning of the Southern Song Dynasty in history, and Wang now has soldiers and horses in his hands, so Zhao Gou didn't need to get into trouble with Wang Boyan, so he used Zhao Huan to take it back under the pretext of carrying a holy order.

Then he waited patiently for the holy decree of Tokyo City in Cizhou, and the news from all walks of life kept coming into his ears.

There was the good news of Wang Yuan and Han Shizhong on the North Road, and after the battle of Qingyuan, Wang Yuan and Han Shizhong won a battle in the Hutuo River.

However, after the main force of the Jin army on the East Road went south, the Jin soldiers of Yanshan were really empty, but the Jin people despised the Song soldiers, although there were few people, they were arrogant, and frequently dispatched small groups of soldiers and horses into the territory of Qingyuan Mansion to loot and burn and kill.

Wang Yuan then led his troops straight to the Hutuo River and collided head-on with thousands of golden horsemen.

The former army was easily routed.

Wang Yuan is also a man, he did not turn around and run away, but led people to seize the high slope, erected his own banner, lined up on it, and watched without moving. He also sent Han Shizhong to lead more than ten brave men to organize the scattered Song army on the river beach, and won hundreds of people, so that they lined up to beat drums and shout. Then, Han Shizhong personally led a few brave warriors who dared to die, and rushed straight into the Jin army formation, specializing in cutting down the Jin army who were beating the flag, and after killing a few in a row, the rest of the flag bearers put down the flag one after another, and the Song soldiers by the river beat the drum and shouted: "The Jin army is defeated!" The Jin army is defeated! In an instant, the Jin army was in chaos, Wang Yuan led the Song soldiers who occupied the high ground to kill from top to bottom, and the Jin army left three or two hundred corpses and fled north one after another.

The results of the battle are not big, but in the current environment, it is very glorious.

Zhao Gou waited for the opportunity to write two handwritten letters, and also prepared two thin gifts, which were sent to Qingyuan in his personal name.

The letter is not long, but it is just boasting that Wang Yuan is the pillar of the country, Han Shizhong is the tiger general of the world, and the two thin gifts are real thin gifts, but Wang Yuan and Han Shizhong, who received the letters and gifts, all smiled.

It's an honor.

As for the news of the South Road, on the one hand, Heluo, when Wang Xiang, the head of the West Road appointed by Zhao Huan (Wang Xiang of Zhihenan Prefecture), faced the pressure of the Jin soldiers, he took the initiative to give up Xijing after receiving Zhao Huan's secret edict from King Qin. But instead of going to Tokyo, he fled all the way south. Yong'an Army, Zhengzhou and other places all surrendered one after another.

The imperial tombs of the old Zhao family were all controlled by the Jin soldiers.

It is said that Boss Zhao planned to move the capital to Heluo, so the imperial tomb was closer to Luoyang.

But as soon as Wang Xiang fled like this, Heluo was easily taken down by Jin Bing. Seonjo (Zhao Hongyin) Yong'an Mausoleum, Taizu (Zhao Kuangyin) Yongchang Mausoleum, Taizong (Zhao Guangyi) Yongxi Mausoleum, Zhenzong (Zhao Heng) Yongding Mausoleum, Renzong (Zhao Zhen) Yongzhao Mausoleum, Yingzong (Zhao Shu) Yonghou Mausoleum, Shenzong (Zhao Xu) Yongyu Mausoleum, Zhezong (Zhao Xu) Yongtai Mausoleum. There are concubines, royal families, royal families and minor descendants tombs and meritorious tombs next to the imperial tombs, there are more than 300 in total, more than 100 years, Gongyi has formed a large-scale imperial mausoleum area, it is all in the hands of the Jin people.

- Although Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and others dismissed the soldiers and horses gathered in Tokyo earlier, and even ordered the soldiers and horses of the local state capitals not to move without permission on the eve of the arrival of the Jin army, they were not completely unguarded in the end.

Four governors were added around Kaifeng Prefecture, appointing the daimyo prefect Zhao Ye as the governor of the northern province, the prefect Wang Xiang of Henan as the governor of the western province, Zhang Shuye of Dengzhou (Nanyang) as the governor of the southern province, and Hu Zhiru, the prefect of Yingtian (Shangqiu), as the governor of the eastern province.

But when the Jin soldiers pressed the border, Zhao Huan gave another order to urge the general manager of the four roads to enter Beijing to defend, if Zhao Ye had not heard of it, Wang Xiang led the army to flee south, and Hu Zhiru, who was closest to the closest, hastily led 7,000 soldiers and righteous people to help, but the army was defeated and captured, and only Zhang Shuye came with more than 10,000 people in blood.

Wang Xiang's dog head, he fled without a fight, and on the way to flee south, he collided with Uncle Zhang's night army in the north, but he didn't want to go to Tokyo.

Fortunately, the commander of the Jin army on the West Road was Sticky Han, and he strictly ordered the soldiers to harass the mausoleum, and no one was allowed to loot the artifacts in the mausoleum. He also led the senior generals to pay homage to the tombs of Zhenzong and Renzong, and the etiquette was very respectful.

However, there is also news that although Sticky Han worshiped the tombs of Zhenzong and Renzong, it seems that he wants to destroy the tombs of Taizong and Shenzong.

Zhao Gou estimated in his heart that there was another deep meaning hidden in sticky Han's long.

Zhenzong signed the alliance of the Yuanyuan, and Renzong was known for his peace-loving, and when the news of his death spread north, even the Liao people wept bitterly. It was Zhao Lao Er and Song Shenzong who danced the stick many times.

Sticky Han treats him so differently, nine times out of ten, he is showing an attitude to Zhao Song.

I'm afraid that at this time, Jin Bing didn't think that he could take Tokyo City.

But in any case, with Wang Xiang's escape, Heluo fell into the hands of the Jin soldiers, and the Jin army of the east and west roads was unstoppable under the city of Tokyo.

However, the news from Tokyo City is that Zhao Huan Junchen has not given up the idea of negotiating peace with Jin Guo.

The Jin army's forwards have already been killed outside the city, and they have not urgently declared martial law in the capital with military intelligence. Instead, the news was blocked, not saying that the Jin people had arrived in the suburbs of Beijing, but on the grounds of fire prevention, ordering the armor, soldiers, people, monks, Taoist priests, etc. to all climb the city wall and guard Kyoto.

Then he ordered Geng Nanzhong and Nie Chang to set off immediately in the name of messengers from Tongheguo, and sent envoys to Zong Wang and Zong Han respectively, to handle the matter of ceding Hebei and Hedong, so that the Jin army would stop its advance.

Zhao Huan still had certain illusions about the armistice, fantasizing that the Jin people would be able to withdraw their troops and return after obtaining the Hebei and Hedong regions.

Zhao Gou naturally failed to get the edict of rights that he had been looking forward to for many days.

It looks like leap November is coming. The two fronts of the Jin army have already joined outside the city of Tokyo, and the follow-up soldiers and horses have also arrived one after another, with a total of about 100,000 people. He did not relocate the camp to Liujia Temple in the northeastern suburbs of the capital. Sticky Han stationed his camp in Qingcheng, a southwestern suburb of the capital, where the Song Dynasty emperor held a suburban sacrifice.

The main force of the Jin army gradually dispersed, and a number of military villages were set up on the four walls of the capital to enclose the capital all around. Outside the city, the soldiers openly held flags and went back and forth between the military villages.

They also brought in a large number of people, or to transport grain and grass, or to transport stones and logs, and to make siege equipment.

Zhao Gou can still calm down and wait, based on the history in his mind, he is very sure of the final result.

Wang Yun no longer insisted on sending envoys to Jinying, and Geng Yanxi, Gao Shize and others were even more panicked and uneasy. Both of them also felt that Cizhou was too unsafe, and suggested that Zhao Gou return to Xiangzhou, play the truth, and then stand by in Xiangzhou. However, if Cizhou is not safe, will Xiangzhou be safe?

Compared with Wang Boyan, Zhao Gou still thinks that Zong Ze in Cizhou is more reliable.

However, Wang Boyan and Zong Ze were distressed at this time and just wanted to smash their heads.

There were two decrees in the city of Tokyo, one was to order the counties of Benlu to gather local tyrant militia to fight against the gold thieves; First, Hebei was ordered not to incite the people to raise troops and make trouble, which would hinder peace discussions. How can these two decrees, which were given at almost the same time and contradict each other, be carried out?

Wang Boyan was wearing a military uniform, carrying a shackle on his shoulders, and led the horse army to rush to Cizhou in person, and said to Zhao Gou as soon as he told the matter: "Today's imperial court is unclear, and the ministers are not, and the emperor is also his own brother, and I hope the king will review the national plan." ”

It means that I want to ask Zhao Gou to carry a pot.

"Wang Xianggong has a problem for Xiao Wang." Zhao Gou didn't say anything, but looked at Zong Ze and Wang Yun with his eyes, "Do you two think Xiao Wang can be the master?" ”

It's not a question of which one to choose, it's a question of whether you can choose or not.

In the Song Dynasty, there were ministers from the clan, such as Xiangzhou Tongju Zhao Butry, who was the sixth grandson of Zhao Lao Er, a very capable person. However, people like Zhao Butry who can be officials to participate in the imperial examination are all children of the Yuanzhi, except for the surname of Zhao, there is no threat to Zhao Huan's imperial power at all.

And Zhao Gou's blood relatives, those princes and princes of the clan, almost do not participate in court politics. Exchanging the natural and rich political influence in his hands for a rich life for himself and his children and grandchildren for generations was the most important and fundamental transaction of the Zhao and Song dynasties. The clan does not interfere in politics, except for the ceremonial function in ancestor sacrifices and court ceremonies, the clan is actually a useless royal creation. However, they lived in abundance, and were even subtly allowed to get involved in business, shelter merchants, and earn a lot of wealth.

Zong Ze didn't speak, and Wang Yun didn't speak, even Wang Boyan's face flashed with an embarrassed smile.

"Xiao Wang is only double ten, and he is still in his good years, but he hasn't lived enough. Wang Xianggong is going to embarrass Xiao Wang. As he spoke, he took a sip of the teacup in his hand, with a calm expression on his face, but in fact he was drinking medicine. The group tea of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancestor of Japanese matcha in later generations, he really can't get used to drinking it. But in this year, even if he wants to find loose tea, it is impossible.

"However, it is rare for the two ministers to get together today and talk openly and honestly, which is more conducive to the future war. Xiao Wang is also curious, what choice should the two ministers make for those two wills? ”

"The gold thieves invaded our land and killed our people, and the army was even more under the capital, how could the old man sit idly by?" Zong Ze immediately said, obviously this is a staunch main battle faction.

And before Wang Boyan could speak, Wang Yun next to him was furious: "The two countries have been at war for many years, and the people have been miserable for a long time. ”

Does Wang Yun think that this peace can really be reached, or does he think that if the north of the Yellow River is assigned to the Jin State, the latter will be able to withdraw his troops happily?

Yes, the appetite of the Jin people is getting bigger and bigger, how can they still be satisfied with the land of the three towns? When Zhao Gou Wang Yun left, the Jin envoy was also in the city of Tokyo, and Yang Tianji, Wang Wei, Sa Limu and other Jin envoys had a great appetite, and they were about to eat the north of the Yellow River when they opened their mouths. Zhao Huan really agreed.

Ordered Tang Ke to draft and sign the edict. He Li was taken aback when he saw the edict and said, "Why not obey the edict of the three towns, but follow the order of painting the river?" He refused to sign and asked to resign.

Zhao Huan then dismissed He Li from his position as a scholar in Zhongshu, and made him know Hangzhou as a scholar of the Imperial Palace, but stayed in the capital and received the affairs of Kaifeng. At the same time, Shangshu Zuocheng Chen Guoting was appointed as the Zhongshu squire.

Then pass on the book to Zhao Gou and tell him to pay attention to Hebei affairs. That is, to exchange the land of Hebei for the withdrawal of troops.

In addition, in recognition of Zhao Gou's quality of "relieving worries for the country and not being afraid of life and death" and the spirit of being willing to carry the black pot for the emperor, Zhao Huan specially promoted Zhao Gou's Virgin Longde Palace to allow Wei to be a virtuous concubine, and Zhao Gou was the envoy of Anguo and Anwu Festival.

This forced him to carry the black pot.

Zong Ze's face flushed angrily, "Gold thief, barbarian." Sticky hair drinks blood, greed is insatiable, and knows the etiquette law? If, after the land is cut, the Jin people lose their faith and come to attack the city again, what is the benefit? With white, the military and civilian spirit were weakened. "The Jurchens have come twice a year, and now that the army has arrived on the outskirts of the capital, will they really retire as promised, who dares to guarantee the ticket?

"And the people of the two rivers have always been strong, so that the Taiyuan Lonely City can hold on for nearly a year, and the Longde City is broken and restored, everyone has the heart to fight to the death, so as to live up to the spirit of the ancestors and the will of His Majesty to recover.

Now that the war is coming, Hugh said that the foul language has dirty the old man's ears and eyes. At the time of national crisis, our courtiers should only fight bravely to kill the enemy and defend the society. Break no sleeve and watch, sit back and watch the thieves attack the capital. ”

Wang Boyan sighed helplessly on the side, this is really, really......
