Chapter 179: The Jin Army Goes South
"Hmph, I think that back then, my Jurchen clan only had 20,000 soldiers and horses, and I could destroy the 800,000 army of the Liao State, and now my Dajin State has one million male soldiers, and I want to destroy your Southern Song Dynasty, do you think you can stop it?" Wanyan Zonghan said with a sneer.
After hearing what Yan Zonghan said, Yu Wenxu couldn't help but laugh and said: "The general is really joking, how can there be a million soldiers in the Jin country, even if the strength of the whole country is exhausted, there are only 500,000 soldiers, can the general dare to come with 500,000 troops to attack the city?" ”
Yu Wenxu's sentence is naturally a satire on the last time the Jin State poured the whole country's strength into attacking the Song Dynasty, and as a result, the capital of the Jin State was empty of troops in Shangjing, and as a result, the Song army came to the bottom of the kettle to draw salary.
Wanyan Wu begged to buy and was also indirectly martyred because of this.
Wanyan Zonghan was really angered by Yu Wenxu, he grabbed Yu Wenxu's neck, and said coldly: "Anger me, believe it or not, I'll kill you right now." ”
Yuwenxu was not afraid, and said with a smile: "It is said that the two countries are at war, and if you don't kill me, if you Jin Guo kills me, I will be the great hero of my Great Song Dynasty, and spreading it will achieve my Yuwenxu's reputation." ”
"Jin Guo does not preach morality, kills envoys, and spreads it so that the people of the world can see, how can such a country make the people of the world return to their hearts." What Yu Wenxu said is reasonable.
Wanyan Zonghan is such a smart person, hearing what Yu Wenxu said, he sneered and said: "Your words reminded me, don't you want to be a big hero, I will fulfill you, come to someone, press this person to Shangjing for me, it just so happens that Your Majesty is also very fond of this Song Dynasty, I will give you to Your Majesty." ”
Yuwen Xuan didn't expect Wanyan Zonghan to come up with such a strategy, in fact, he had already put life and death out of the way, and now he was pressed to Shangjing, but he didn't know what he should do next for a while.
Let's say that in the Song Dynasty court on the other side, after Yu Wenxu's personal guards passed Yu Wenxu's secret letter back, they immediately blew up again.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks there is something strange about this, could it be that Yu Wenxu made a mistake? After all, the deputy envoy of the Jin State just said that the north wind is very urgent today, and did not say anything else, if we simply rely on such a sentence, we think that the Jin State wants to go south, and rashly move troops, if we make a mistake, then we will not miss the opportunity for this peace talks? Li Ruoshui, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, from the perspective of etiquette, this is still a nonsensical thing after all, and it is indeed a little irrational to simply rely on unwarranted things to move troops.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks otherwise, Jin Guo will not die in my heart, Jin Taizong finished Yan Wu begging to buy because I died because of the plan to draw salary to the bottom of the kettle, Jin Guo can't swallow this breath after all, some time ago the dispute between the new monarch of Jin Guo was boiling, naturally there is no time to look south, I think it has been more than a month now, Jin Guo should have been a new monarch to the throne, and now it is reasonable to send troops to our court." Li Gang said to Zhao Huan.
"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that just by one sentence, he expects that the Jin State will use troops against our court, and it is indeed a bit of a fuss, our court is a state of etiquette, if the army is stationed first, then the Jin country will seize the excuse and beat a rake, which is really unfavorable to the image of our great country." Zhu Shengfei, the head of the household, stood up and said.
"Your Majesty, this matter has to be guarded against, at this time, the whole country is focused on the Song-Jin peace talks, if the Jin State suddenly sends troops at this time, those states and counties must be defenseless, and they will definitely not be able to block the impact of the Jin State Iron Cavalry." Zhao Ding, the secretary of the ministry, stood up and said.
The court was divided into two factions on this matter, and perhaps at this time, there were still many people who hoped that Jin Guo hoped for peace talks.
Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair, nodded, and said: "What you Aiqing said is reasonable, the so-called heart of defense is indispensable, whether the Jin country has the heart to go south, I don't know, but I have to prevent this matter, and immediately order Zong Ze, Wu Jue, Yue Fei and others to be ready to prevent the Jin army from suddenly attacking the city." ”
After a pause, Zhao Huan said to Li Guang, the great Honglu of Honglu Temple: "Secretly send someone to contact Yuwenxu, whether the Jin State has the heart to kill me, you will know if you try." ”
As for whether Jin Guo really wants peace talks, Zhao Huan does not believe it.
In Lanzhou City, the vanguard of the Jin State has arrived outside Lanzhou City under the leadership of Wan Yanchang.
Wanyan Changgao sat on the war horse, at this time he could not be unwilling, it stands to reason that the first time he attacked the Song Dynasty, he suffered two defeats in a row, and he had no chance to become the general of the Southern Expedition this time, but this time the general of the Southern Expedition fell on his head.
Without him, this time Wanyan was able to become the emperor, he was a great contributor, and Wanyan Zongbi was demoted at this time because he secretly supported Wanyan Liang, the king of Hailing, and became the vanguard of this southern expedition to the Song Dynasty.
"Pass my military order, from the east, west and north to attack the city in three ways, tonight I will drink in this city of Lanzhou, if you can't break the city, let that Yan Zongbi raise his head to see." Wan Yanchang ordered.
The Jin army gathered 300,000 troops, and once again attacked the Song Dynasty menacingly, this time, it was bound to destroy the Song Dynasty and avenge the death of Wanyan Wu Qimai.
The city of Lanzhou was not prepared for the sudden attack of the Jin State at all, looking at the menacing Jin army, they didn't even make any resistance, and directly opened the city and surrendered.
There is no way, Wanyan Zongbi personally led an army of 100,000 to be the vanguard, and Lanzhou is just a small city, even if it resists, it can't resist the attack of the Jin army.
Eight hundred miles rushed to Bianjing, and for a time the Beijing division was shaken, and the people of the Song Dynasty were still immersed in the peace between the two countries, a peaceful and joyful atmosphere, but in the blink of an eye, there was news that the Jin army had come to the city.
Lanzhou is no more than 500 miles away from Bianjing, and at this rate, if the Jin army attacks Bianjing in a hurry, it will be able to reach it in no more than two days.
For a while, the people's hearts were in turmoil, and all the merchants who had a little money in Bianjing City quietly went south with their families at this time to go to the area of Suzhou and Hangzhou, where it was safer after all.
Above the court of the Song Dynasty, the faces of the original lords and factions were a little unbearable, after all, the Jin State that I just said would not use troops, and in the blink of an eye, the Jin army had already arrived in the city.
"The Jin army is treacherous, it is really not a gentleman's doing, this side is still in peace talks, but the other side is brazenly attacking the city, what is the difference between this and banditry? The Jin army will be defeated if it does this unrighteous army! Li Ruoshui couldn't help but loudly reprimand Jin Jun's shameless behavior.
Zhao Huan couldn't help but shake his head, these sour Confucian students, the so-called righteous teachers or unrighteous teachers, are just written by the victors.
