In the fiftieth round, Jin Zong hoped to force the three towns of the city, and the Song monarchs and ministers held both ends of the war

However, it was said that Zong Wang used a small boat to help the river, crossed the cavalry first, and swirled and swirled, and there was no resumption of the team. Just because there is not a soldier or a horse to stop the defense, it must be done calmly. Guo Yaoshi led 2,000 cavalry as a pioneer, and along the way, the cavalry ran wildly, as if entering a no-man's land.

The news of the Jin soldiers crossing the river reached the capital city of Bianliang, and Song Qinzong reacted accordingly to this. He immediately issued an edict to the world and drove the expedition in person. His edict said: "I used the Jin State and Chongqing Alliance, the pharmacist rebelled, invaded the border counties, and plundered the people. Although at the beginning of the inheritance, dare to forget the weight of the entrustment! The matter has not been obtained, and the soldiers are famous. The six divisions have been prescribed, bowing to the heavens, and should be personally recruited to join the incident, so that there is a division and according to the story of Emperor Zhenzong. He also appointed Li Gang as the pro-expedition envoy, Wu Min as the deputy, and Nie Shan as the military staff officer. ”

However, this edict has not yet been put into practice, the situation he faces is beyond recognition, and the royal conquest they said has not become a fact.

Almost at the same time, Song Huizong had decided to move south to avoid the advance of the Jin soldiers. It can be regarded as a day off, and Tong Guan also escaped from Taiyuan. It turned out that when Tong Guan was in Shaanxi, he recruited tall, strong, handsome and chic teenagers and formed an army of nearly 10,000 people. This is his personal army, which surrounds the mansion on weekdays, and now it comes in handy. He left the Jin invasion behind, but led the Shengjie army to follow Song Huizong south.

On this day, Song Huizong was crossing the pontoon bridge, and the palace guards were mourning and grieving. Tong Guan was afraid of delaying the trip, so he ordered the pro-army to shoot him with arrows. In an instant, more than 100 people fell to the ground after being hit by an arrow. The sound of crying shook the heavens and the earth. And those who are bystanders are sad. At this time, Cai Jing, the traitor who misled the country and the people, also traveled south and escaped himself.

Song Huizong dressed up in disguise, took a light chariot out of the east gate of the water, and rented a small boat, which was a grain boat for returning to the feet. negotiated the price with him, and bought a steamed cake for ten cents to eat. At this time, Cai You, Tong Guan and others also came one after another. Song Huizong said to them: "Things have come to such a point, what is the use of you still coming with you? The two said, "The ministers are greatly favored by Your Majesty, and they will not leave Your Majesty even if they die." "The boat approached Yongqiu, but because the water was shallow, it had to stop.

In the vast night, Song Huizong rode a sturdy mule named Pigeon Qing, heading towards Juyang. Between the lines, I can hear the sound of chickens. There is a small town along the river, and every family has gone to sleep, and only one old man's house is still lit. When I looked at it again, the bamboo door was half-hidden. Song Huizong pushed the door in and talked with Lao Huan. Lao Ying asked about Song Huizong's name, and Song Huizong said: "The surname is Zhao, and he lives in Tokyo (that is, Bianliang), and he has been given a career, and he is replaced by his eldest son." The guard couldn't help but laugh when he heard this. Song Huizong looked back at the guards and couldn't stop laughing.

Lao Ying warmed the wine, poured it into the cup, and dedicated it to Huizong. Song Huizong stood up, took the wine glass, drank it slowly, and passed it to the knight and the guard. Later, Lao Ying invited Huizong into the bedroom and lit the stove. At this time, Song Huizong finally felt the cold and shivered from the cold. He took off his shoes and socks, only to realize that his toes had frozen purple red.

After leaving Lao Huan's house, Song Huizong took a boat south and arrived in Sizhou. After the boat stopped, Song Huizong disembarked and went to the market on foot to buy fish. When the price was being discussed, the fish buyer called Song Huizong "Baoyi", Song Huizong listened, and said that Cai You smiled: "This Chinese language is too poisonous." ”

Song Huizong bought fish and returned to the boat, and felt a lot, so he gave the words of "Linjiang Immortal" and said: "Go through the water and go through the mountains, and chant more than 1,000 poems." Huaibo is cold and heavy and the rain is sparse. The smoke cage beach is exposed, and people buy fish in the boat. The ancient temple has the right to live in a secluded house. Late at night in the monk's residence. The dream soul was frightened and groaned, and the heart was saddened, and the tears were written back to the book. When the capital was plunged into a bloody storm, Song Huizong lived a leisurely and fortunate life, and the traitor Cai You was the envoy of the palace at that time, and he was overbearing, and intercepted the soldiers and horses of the king of Qin in the southeast for self-defense. It is really the extreme absurdity, the extreme of misleading the country and harming the people.

At this time, the alarm flew like snowflakes to the capital Bianliang. Since Song Huizong ran south, many ministers have fled and sought self-satisfaction. As the enemy cavalry approached, martial law began to be imposed in the capital city of Bianliang. Among the ministers, there is also a saying that Nan Xing avoided the enemy. Some people suggested that Song Qinzong should reach between Xiang and Deng in the south to avoid the enemy's front. Only Li Gang, the staff officer of the camp, said: "Emperor Daojun has awarded His Majesty the Sect. If you leave it now, will this work? Song Qinzong was silent when he heard this.

Dazai Bai Shizhong thought that the capital was difficult to hold, and Li Gang retorted: "There is no city in the world that is as tall and strong as the capital. What's more, there are temples, sheji, civil and military officials, and thousands of ordinary people. If you throw these away, what are you going to get? Today's plan is to reorganize the soldiers and horses, unite the hearts of the people, and stick to each other, so as to wait for the army of King Qin. ”

Song Qinzong asked, "Who can be the general?" Li Gang said: "Although Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others may not know military affairs, they are high-ranking and prominent, as long as they can appease the soldiers, they will be able to inspire the hearts of the soldiers and compete with the Jin people." When Bai Shizhong heard this, he said angrily: "According to this, can Li Gang be able to fight his troops?" When Li Gang heard this, he said excitedly: "If Your Majesty does not regard the ministers as cowards and orders me to govern the army, I, Li Gang, are willing to die with me." ”

Therefore, Li Gang was appointed as the right man of Shangshu and stayed in Tokyo. In order to strengthen Song Qinzong's determination to stay in the capital of Song, Li Gang said to him: "When Emperor Tang Ming heard that Tongguan was lost, he immediately lucked Shu, which made the temple and society ruined in the hands of sluts. Now that the soldiers of the Quartet will soon gather in the capital, how can they easily repeat the mistakes of Emperor Tang Ming! ”

The monarch and the ministers are negotiating, and the chamberlain has come to play the middle palace. When Song Qinzong heard this, he changed color. The emperor hurriedly descended from the palace and said to the ministers: "I can't stay any longer, and the secretary and the others should not stop me anymore." I will go to Shaanxi today to mobilize troops and horses, and then restore the capital. When Li Gang heard this, he also wept and worshipped, prostrated himself on the ground, and stayed with death. Song Qinzong was helpless, but sighed again and again.

King Yan and King Yue also came to the palace, and the two kings also admonished each other with the country. When Song Qinzong heard this, his emotions calmed down a little, and Li Gang said: "I am staying for the Qing today, and the strategy of the edict to resist the enemy is to appoint Yu Qing, and I hope that the Qing will not be neglected." At a time of crisis, Li Gang was ordered.

That night, Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan and others, the ruling ministers, still insisted on going out on patrol. Song Qinzong changed his mind and planned to wait until dawn. At dawn, when Li Gang came to see him again, he had already seen the Praetorian Guards standing in armor, and the chariot had already set off.

Li Gang was in a hurry, and shouted to the Praetorian Guards: "Are you willing to defend the sect society, or are you willing to go out with you?" When the Praetorian Guards heard this, they raised their arms and shouted, "I am willing to defend to the death, but I am not willing to flee alive." Li Gang saw that the soldiers of the Praetorian Guard were excited, and he was deeply moved, so he went to see Song Qinzong and said: "Your Majesty has promised the ministers to stay in the capital, but now they are going out on patrol, why is this?" Now the parents and wives of the Sixth Army are in the capital, and they are willing to defend each other to the death. If Your Majesty wants to force him to do it, in case of a mutiny in the middle of the way, who will your Majesty rely on to escort him? I heard that the captives were already imminent, if they knew that His Majesty was not far away, and sent an iron horse to chase after him, who would His Majesty rely on to resist it? ”

When Song Qinzong heard this, he was quite enlightened. It is to summon the middle palace to return to Beijing. Seeing that the emperor had a change of heart, the six Praetorian Guards all bowed to the ground and shouted long live. Song Qinzong boarded the Xuande Tower and announced the Sixth Army, which made a plan to hold on. He also granted Li Gang the right to levy the camp envoy to engage in it cheaply, and Cao Cao, the commander of the guard department, was his deputy.

After Li Gang was instructed, he immediately ordered the four walls of the capital to be reorganized, divided the troops into defense with the hundred-step method, and made the soldiers step up training. After a few days, the battle defense was first prepared. However, within the imperial court formed by Song Qinzong, the battle for peace has always been-for-tat and very fierce. The ministers of the lord and the peace were represented by Dazai Li Bangyan, who was in the post of prime minister and had nothing to accomplish, but only to take Ah Shun as a matter to consolidate the position, and the people of the time called him "the prodigal prime minister".

At that time, Song Qinzong convened his ministers to discuss the strategy of defending against the enemy, and Li Bangyan tried his best to ask for land to negotiate peace, but Li Gang insisted on taking war as the defense. Song Qinzong actually adopted Li Bangyan's idea of ceding land and seeking peace, and sent Zheng Wangzhi, a member of the Yu department, and Gao Shi to see Zongwang. In the middle of the journey, he unexpectedly met Wu Xiaomin, the messenger sent by Zongwang. So, the two of them returned with Wu Xiaomin.

It turned out that Zong Wang listened to the words of Guo Yaoshi and sent Wu Xiaomin as an envoy to the Song Dynasty during the march, but he actually wanted to visit the reality of the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers. Wu Xiaomin had just entered the city with Deng Wangzhi and Gao Shize, and the army led by Zong Wangsuo had already arrived one after another and arrived at the foot of Bianjing City. When Guo Yaoshi was still a Song general, he had played in Mu Huogang many times, and knew that this place was the Heavenly Prison, and there were more than 30,000 war horses in it. And the stored beans are piled up.

After Zong Wang learned of this, he couldn't help but be overjoyed and said: "If we occupy Mu Huogang and have a place to raise horses, we will have no worries." Then he sent troops to capture the Tiansi Prison and used the camel hill as a garrison. Mu camel gang is in the northwest of Bianliang, and near the Bianhe River, the terrain is quite dangerous.

That night, there was a fierce battle outside the Kanazawa Gate. This was the first contact of the Song and Jin armies under the city of Bianliang. The Jin people took dozens of large boats, loaded with soldiers, and went down the Bianhe River to attack Xuanzemen. When Li Gang heard this, he personally came to the city to supervise the battle. He recruited 2,000 men who dared to die, and Lebu took a crossbow above the city. The golden soldier ship went to the city and struck it with a crutch crossbow. The ships of the Golden Man were struck by boulders and were mostly broken.

Li Gang also ordered the demolition of the mountain and stone stacked gates in the back garden of Cai Jing's mansion, and selected a strong man to go down to the city, and fought fiercely with the Jin people, and the Jin people had more than ten chiefs and more than 100 people killed in battle. The two sides fought fiercely all night, and at dawn, Zong Wang ordered the withdrawal of the army.

On this day, in Bianjing City, Wu Xiaomin, the envoy of Zongwang, visited Song Qinzong. Wu Xiaomin had an arrogant attitude and a tough tone, first asking the Song Dynasty about recruiting Zhang Jue, and then proposed to send Tong Guan, Tan Zhi, and Zhan Du Yujin, and at the same time said: "What happened when the emperor was emperor has passed, so there is no need to worry about it." Now that the young emperor is newly established, he should make a separate oath with the Jin State, and still send the prince and the prime minister to the army. ”

Song Qinzong asked the minister who would like to go as an envoy. Li Gang volunteered and was willing to risk his life to meet Jin Shuai Zongwang. Song Qinzong did not allow it, but ordered Li Ze to be the envoy. Li Gang said: "The safety of the country is in this move. Li Ze was cowardly, but he was afraid that he would miss a major national event. Song Qinzong didn't listen, and still ordered Li Ze to make gold.

When Zong Wang heard that Song Qinzong's envoy was coming, he asked Guo how to receive him, and Guo said, "Li Ze is a cowardly man, and if he can do this, he will be able to convince him." Zong Wang was overjoyed when he heard this, so he selected more than 20 samurai, raised swords and spears, and lined them up on both sides. Then, sit on the south side and wait in high spirits. Li Ze witnessed this frame, uncertain about life and death, and his face was already as white as earth, and his heart was broken. At the moment, the north bowed again, kneeling forward, terrifying, and lost what he said.

Zong Wang said: "Your capital was broken in an instant, and now you only restrain the army and do not attack, the fundamental reason is because the young emperor is newly established and wants to save the Zhao clan." If you think about it, my blessing is great. Now, if you want to make peace sincerely, you should lose 5 million taels of gold, 50 million taels of silver, 10,000 heads of cattle and horses, and 1 million horses of silk, and respect the emperor of the Jin Kingdom as your uncle, and return the people of Yan and Yun in the Song realm. In addition, the land of the three towns of Zhongshan, Taiyuan and Hejian was cut off from Jin, and the prime minister was used. The prince took the hostage and sent the army across the river. As long as these conditions are agreed, we will withdraw immediately. ”

After that, he took out another piece of paper, paid it to Li Ze, and said: "All the conditions are clearly written on this, you can go back now." When Li Ze and the others heard this, they retreated, not daring to say a word. Zongwang also sent Xiao Sanbaonu, Ye Yuzhong, Wang Ne and others to accompany him. The harsh conditions listed by Jin Ren were all from the idea of Guo Yaoshi.

After Zong Wang sent away the Song envoy and Xiao Sanbaonu, he summoned Guo Yaoshi and asked him what to do next. Guo Yaoshi said: "In order to prompt the Song people to conclude an alliance under the city one day earlier, the siege of the city can be deployed today. If the war goes well, the Song people, in desperation, will agree to all the conditions proposed by the prince. Zong Wang listened to it and said, "This is a good idea, transfer troops tomorrow and attack the city the day after tomorrow." ”

On the third day, the Jin soldiers beat their drums and attacked the city. Li Gang heard the sound of golden drums outside the city and hurriedly went to the city to defend. He saw that the Jin soldiers were attacking urgently, so he recruited strong men, went down the city, and fought to the death with the Jin soldiers. Zong Wang then sent troops to attack Fengqiu, Weizhou, Chenqiao and other gates. There, it was met with stubborn resistance from the He Guan Division. After a day of fierce fighting, both sides paid a heavy price. Among the Jin army, seven chieftains were killed in battle, and thousands of soldiers were killed. Among the Song army, He Guan and his subordinates were almost completely wiped out.

It turned out that after He Guan defeated the south bank of the Yellow River, he returned to the capital and asked to be seen. Song Qinzong refused, and ordered the northwest corner of the capital to be defended. On this day, it was the third day of the battle against the city, He Guan was seriously wounded, still fighting with a knife, and finally died in battle, at the age of sixty-two. The generals under the account, Han Zong and Lei Yanxing, are also loyal and courageous warriors, and in the life-and-death duel with Jin Bing, they do not avoid life and death, follow He Guan, charge into battle, and finally die on the battlefield.
