Chapter 693: Bringing the Jurchens Home (Ask for Subscription!) )
After leaving Tokyo, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan became less and less like the emperor.
Actually, this is also normal.
In this cold and snowy world, it doesn't matter what decency, what majesty, what bearing,
There is only one important thing, and that is to be alive.
Therefore, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan used their brocade clothes and jade belts to exchange sheepskin jackets and hemp ropes with Jin Bing, and turned into sheepherds and village men.
Wear it, just don't get cold or freeze to death.
The key is to eat.
Because the Chinese army was biting at the back, the food of the Jin army could not be supplied at all, not to mention Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and their prisoners, even the soldiers of the Jin army were hungry and full.
Once, Zhao Ji saw mulberries on the mulberry tree on the side of the road, and hurriedly went to pick them to satisfy his hunger.
As a result, because he ate too quickly, Zhao Ji almost choked to death.
The attendants hurriedly came over to pat Zhao Ji, and finally rescued Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji felt that he was very embarrassed, so he didn't know whether it was true or not: "When I was the king of Duan, I saw the nurse eating this thing in the palace, and I also ate it, and just after eating a few, I was snatched by the nurse, and she said that this thing was not eaten by the prince." After all these years, I have long forgotten what it tastes like, but I didn't expect it to taste so delicious today. ”
After that, Zhao Ji burst into tears.
The courtiers wept bitterly.
Along the way, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others really suffered a big crime.
In order to prevent changes, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were escorted separately.
Because the Jin people were afraid that the local prefectures and counties of the Song Dynasty would raise troops to intercept the prisoner carts, and they were also afraid that the Chinese army would suddenly catch up from behind and take away these important prisoners, when they wanted to cross the mountain, the Jin army tied Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others like zongzi, tied them to horses to prevent escape, and when they were sleeping, they used ropes to tie Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others into a string, and it was not hand to hand tie together, but this person's head was connected to that person's feet - in this way, they could not escape.
Along the way, many people, unable to bear this insult, chose to run away or commit suicide.
Still, many more starved to death.
When passing through Luoyang, Xijing, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others looked forward to the Jin army entering the city to rest and recuperate, and then seek the restoration of the Zhao family.
It's a pity!
Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan could only take a look at Luoyang from a distance, and they were forced to continue to move west.
To tell the truth, Jin Jun also wanted to go to Luoyang to rest and recuperate, but Wanyan Zonghan and the others were very afraid, and after they entered Luoyang, they would never be able to come out again.
You must know that this is a very likely situation, because they are a lone army, once they are blocked by the Chinese army in Luoyang City, it will be called heaven and earth.
Therefore, although the current situation is extremely bad, Wanyan Zonghan and others still continue to send troops to intercept the bite of the Chinese army, while quickly fleeing to the west, preparing to break through Fan Zhixu's defense, and then flee to Hedong, and then flee back to Yundi from Hedong and flee back to Shangjing.
In order to achieve this goal, the Jin army has already paid a great price.
Six or seven out of ten of the things that the Jin army looted and blackmailed from Bianliang City in Tokyo have been lost by them along the way - they don't want to lose either, but those things are too cumbersome, and the point is that most of the Song people they plundered were rescued or escaped by the Chinese army, and they simply had no ability to transport these things.
In fact, if this was the case, the Jin people could reluctantly accept it, after all, they still had a large number of treasures looted and blackmailed from the Great Song Dynasty in their hands - the value of these treasures far exceeded the value of those things they had lost.
What the Jin people couldn't accept was that after a series of battles, a large number of Jin soldiers were killed, captured or scattered.
At present, the Jin army has less than 50,000 formed troops.
What's more, with the Jin army generals Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Hulu and others being killed one after another, the myth of "Jurchen is not more than 10,000, and 10,000 are invincible" has been shattered, and many Jin people have begun to worry about whether they can go home, and the morale of the Jin army can be said to have plummeted.
And yet—
The house leak happened to rain overnight, and the ship was late and encountered a head wind.
At this time, Li Siben, Geng Shouzhong, He Quan and other generals of the Han Er Army defected to the Chinese army with six or seven thousand Han children driving more than 2,000 carts, and before they left, they also burned most of the grain and grass of the Jin army - because the people captured by the Jin army ran away, the Han Er army, which had the lowest status in the Jin army, began to act as a people's husband, responsible for driving and escorting the Jin army from the Great Song Dynasty to rob and blackmail things and the grain and grass of the Jin army.
As soon as this opening was opened, there were constantly defections from the Han army.
Moreover, not only the Han army, but also the armies of the Khitan, Xi, and Bohai tribes began to defect.
Recently, there has been such a news circulating in the Jin army, saying that Xiao Guige, the concubine of Liaoyuan, Xiao Puxiannu, the empress dowager of Northern Liao, and the handsome Yelu Dashi and others, called on all the old people of Daliao to surrender to Dazhong, as long as they are not Jurchens, after surrendering, they will not be blamed for the past, and those who make meritorious contributions can also be rewarded.
In the Jin army, almost everyone now knows the news.
Wanyan Zonghan and the others are all veterans who have been fighting for more than ten years, how can they not know that they must be spies mixed with the Chinese army in their team?
But now that the Chinese army is biting the Jin army, Wanyan Zonghan and the others just know that there are spies of the Chinese army in their ranks, and they don't have time to find out about them.
In other words, for Jin Jun, it is inevitable that one will lose the other.
In short, the current situation of the Jin army is as bad as it is, and there are even signs that the whole army will be annihilated.
The situation of the Jin army was so bad that Wanyan Zonghan, who had advocated going south, was pushed to the forefront, especially when the other culprit, Wanyan Zongwang, had already died in battle, and Wanyan Zonghan's situation was even worse.
Even, Wanyan Zonghan had already heard the rumors of his dismissal from the post of deputy marshal.
The things that came from the robbery and blackmail of the Great Song Dynasty are gone, and the army of more than 100,000 is now only 40,000, and it may not even be 30,000 in a few days.
In this case, Wanyan Zonghan just wants not to admit the complete failure of this southward trip, and it is impossible.
It can be said that Wanyan Zonghan's political future is over, he can return to Yundi with these 30,000 or 40,000 troops, and return to Shangjing, he will never want to command the army again in this life, and even don't want to enter politics again, it is difficult to say whether he can live or not.
You must know that this is a big defeat that the Jurchens have never had since Yan Agu started fighting.
More importantly, this defeat will trap the Jin Kingdom, a regime that has not been born for many years, in an extremely passive place.
As the commander of the army this time, Wanyan Zonghan is definitely to blame.
But Wanyan Zonghan couldn't take care of these anymore, and now, the only thing he thought about was to take the Jurchens home and leave some seeds for the Jurchens and Dajin.
As for what will happen to him in the future, Wanyan Zonghan can't care about it.
Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan convened a key meeting, a meeting that would decide the life and death of their thirty or forty thousand people!
