Chapter 827: Qin Zong Facing a Choice

When the imperial army captured Yuncheng and the news of the annihilation of the entire army of the Song Army's division and Dao came out, several generals of the Jin State hurriedly discussed.

Wanyan Zongbi has a tough personality, and when he came to the Song Kingdom this time, he completely regarded the Song people as the target of fighting the grass valley, and the soldiers under his command were the most ruthless in killing people and goods.

At this time, hearing that the imperial army was coming, Wanyan Zongbi immediately said in a loud voice: "The soldiers of our Jin Kingdom cannot be lost in the Song Kingdom for no reason, if you want me to say, our whole army will go north, capture the richest Tokyo City in the Song Kingdom as quickly as possible, and go back with the wealth and women that have been sent away." ”

"No." Wanyan Zonghan shook his head and vetoed.

Among the Jin generals who came to the aid of the Song State this time, the most strategic and visionary was Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan is the eldest son of the Minister of State, when the Jin Kingdom was first established, Wanyan Zonghan once asked Jin Taizu Wanyan Agu to fight, suggesting: "The Liao lord loses his virtue, and the people inside and outside the court deviate. Although the great cause has been decided, the root cause has not been eliminated, and it will inevitably become a disaster in the future. Now take advantage of their gap to attack and capture. This is a godsend, something to do, and not to be missed. ”

After that, the Jin State really destroyed the powerful Liao State, which shows Wanyan Zonghan's vision.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan Zongbi's unconvinced appearance, and asked, "Everyone has dealt with the Imperial Army for a while, what do you think of the other party's military strength?" ”

Wanyan Zongwang, who was almost captured by the imperial army for the second time, said in a deep voice: "Well-trained, powerful firearms, and the most important thing is that the morale of these imperial troops is extremely high, and the soldiers are not afraid of death. ”

Noticing Wanyan Zonghan's gaze at him, Wanyan Zongbi was not convinced, but he could only say: "That's true, the imperial army is too difficult. ”

Although there was still a general in the tent, Guo Yaoshi, Wanyan Zonghan did not pay attention to him, but said to the other two: "Think about it, if we go back to China directly after looting the city of Tokyo, we will ignore the Song Kingdom. In this way, although our army will not suffer any losses, and we can also gain a lot of wealth and women, it is estimated that the Song Kingdom will be easily occupied by the empire. ”

"The territory of the Chinese Empire is now very vast, and when this country destroys the Song State and gets the land and people of the Song State, it will definitely become even stronger. When the time comes, the Kingdom of Jin borders the Empire, and it will be difficult for us to retreat half a step! ”

It was for this reason that the Jin State sent troops south this time, and when he heard Wanyan Zonghan say this, Wanyan Zongwang asked puzzledly: "But now that the last two armies of the Song State, the Planter Dao is dead, the tens of thousands of Song troops in Yuncheng and the 50,000 troops of Liu Yanqing have all surrendered, and our plan to use the Song army to consume the imperial forces has completely failed, what other good plan do you have?" ”

Pointing to the north from afar, Wanyan Zonghan explained: "There is also a Tokyo city with a population of one million, and there are still many Song people loyal to Zhao Huan of Qinzong in the Song Dynasty, what we need to do is to support Zhao Huan to resist the imperial army with all his might, and consume the value of this Song emperor." When the city of Tokyo could not be defended, he could take the Emperor of the Song State back to China and use his identity and status to call on the Song people to continue fighting with the empire. ”

Speaking of this, the ferocity of Wanyan Zonghan Jin was revealed, and he said viciously: "You have to remember the most important point, for every Song person who dies, there will be one less person in the Chinese Empire in the future!" ”

Tokyo City, the imperial capital of the Song Kingdom.

The news of the surrender of the army of Seed Master Dao and Liu Yanqing flew to all directions of the Song Kingdom like wings, and at this time, the people of Tokyo City also packed their bags in panic and prepared to leave the city.

The streets were crowded with horse-drawn carts, ox-carts, mule carts, and people carrying burdens, who were calling for their children and daughters to rush to the city gates.

Qinzong Zhao Huan stood in the Fan Tower, and saw these people who were eager to flee in order to survive from the window, and his heart was really like a knife.

Geng Nanzhong, who had followed Zhao Huan for more than ten years, glanced at Qinzong and asked cautiously: "Official, do you want to send someone to block the gates of Tokyo?" ”

"Forget it." Qinzong Zhao Huan waved his hand indifferently and sighed: "As the so-called catastrophe is coming, they will fly separately, since I, the emperor, can't protect them, then let them go." ”

Although Qin Zong's words were very calm, he still closed his eyes uncomfortably when he looked at the picture of chickens flying and dogs jumping for their lives on the street.

Since Zhao Huan was sensible, his mother and the attendants and servants around him regarded him as the future emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, because he was the eldest son of the Zhao family.

has been working hard for many years, during which he not only has to do everything conscientiously, carefully behave in front of Zhao Ji, but also compete with his ambitious younger brothers, and the hardships are not known to outsiders.

Finally became the emperor, but he had to face the Chinese Empire in the south and the Jin State in the north, but none of these countries were easy, Zhao Huan couldn't sleep well every night, couldn't eat every meal, and it can be said that he was in pain all day long.

"Official, this is a letter from the Jin people." Prime Minister Tang Ke's words interrupted Qinzong Zhao Huan's thoughts.

After taking the letter, Zhao Huan read it carefully word by word, and there were not many words on the letter, so he quickly read it.

Raising his head, Qin Zong looked around at the ministers upstairs and asked in a flat tone, "What do you think of the Jin people wanting to enter the city to help me defend the Imperial Tokyo City?" ”

"Never!" The first person to oppose was naturally Li Gang.

This civil official of Jinshi and the first is currently under the emperor's order to lead troops to defend Tokyo, just like Qinzong's panic during this time, Li Gang's life is not easy, he is most afraid of two things now, one is that the city is broken by the imperial army, and the other is that Tokyo is broken by the Jin soldiers.

However, in Li Gang's heart, the most intolerable thing is for the Jin people to enter the city, because the consequences of doing so are too dangerous, after all, the imperial army far surpasses the Jin soldiers in terms of treating the reputation of the people.

After hearing Qinzong's question, Li Gang directly objected without even thinking about it: "The Jin people are brutal, they have never treated my Great Song Dynasty as an ally, and the people everywhere will be ruined when they encounter the Jin soldiers, if they are allowed to enter the city, then there is no need for the imperial army to arrive, and the people of Tokyo will probably face a catastrophe!" ”

Tang Ke, the prime minister who has been in contact with the Jin people, said to Qinzong: "As far as the minister knows, the Jin people are also kind-hearted, so they took the initiative to enter the city to defend our Great Song Dynasty against the southern army, I am afraid that it will not be as serious as Li Boji said." ”

Hearing what these courtiers around him said, Qinzong Zhao Huan secretly sighed and said to Tang Ke: "The matter of the Jin people entering the city is absolutely impossible, as for other matters, you tell the Jin people that I still need time to think about it." ”

Now that Qinzong has spoken, whether it is Li Gang, who wants to persuade again, or Tang Ke, the prime minister who has close ties with the Jin people, and others, they can only disperse one by one.

After retiring the ministers, Qinzong Zhao Huan looked out the window alone, looked up to the sky and swore an oath: "No matter what, the foundation left by the ancestors of the Zhao family must not be destroyed in my hands!" ”
