The 300,000 army was killed by more than 100,000 people of the Song army, and the defeat was a foregone conclusion. In addition, Wanyan Zongwang was also captured by Gao Zhong and escorted to Zhao Gou, and the Song army had entered Gyeongju and fully occupied Linhuang Mansion.

"General Wanyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time, how are you doing lately?" When Zhao Gou saw Wanyan Zongwang, he didn't have any ridicule, but said with a smile: "Since the last goodbye, we haven't seen each other for eight years, and General Wanyan is actually here!" ”

"Eight years ago, you were still the King of Yan, and eight years later, you are already the son of heaven in the Song Dynasty, it is really unpredictable!" Wanyan Zongwang smiled bitterly, "If it weren't for your desperate resistance, I'm afraid that today it will not be the Song army coming to the city, but our army besieging Bianjing." ”

Zhao Gou replied: "This is true, but if you want to really break through the defense line of the Great Song Dynasty, you will also have to pay a heavy price." Even without me, Zhao Gou, there are still people in the Great Song Dynasty who can stop your pace. Now I have something to ask the general, and if I tell the truth, I will not do me any wrong. ”

"What?"

Wanyan Zongwang was a little stunned, what would make the emperor of the Song Dynasty ask him, the two of them are enemies, and they can also be said to be opponents. At the beginning, Zhao Gou's lone army went deeper, so he was injured and forced to retreat from the front line to Linhuang Mansion, and it was a pity that he failed to complete Yan Sheng's wish.

At the beginning, he guessed that Zhao Gou was the biggest obstacle to the Jin Dynasty's invasion of the Great Song Dynasty. In his opinion, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are indeed rare generals, and Jin Bing has also suffered repeated setbacks in their hands, and they still can't be compared with Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou used the remnants of his tens of thousands of troops to kill the more than 200,000 troops led by himself, and was severely injured by Zhao Gou, almost dying. At that time, Zhao Gou posed a great threat to him, and he also knew that it was the resistance of the Jin Dynasty to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south, and when he returned to Linhuang Mansion, he played Yan Sheng many times and paid close attention to Zhao Gou's movements.

Wan Yan Sheng also knew Zhao Gou's threat and wanted to kill him, so he sent Xizuo into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty several times, but before he arrived in Bianjing, he was captured, and finally disappeared inexplicably. If you want to break through the Great Song Dynasty, the first person to come out is Zhao Gou.

However, there was nothing to be done, Wanyan Zongwang led an army of 300,000 to defeat in the hands of Zhao Gou again, still in his own land, and this shame hit him deeply. Wanyan Zongwang was not defeated in ability, but in the hands of soldiers, that is, in the hands of his own people, he wanted to kill Zhao Gou, all problems could be solved, it was just wishful thinking, Zhao Gou would never give him any chance, Wanyan Zongwang was unjustly defeated.

"Where is the Second Emperor of Huiqin?" Zhao Gou said straight to the point.

Wanyan Zongwang thought that his ears had heard it wrong, and he said in surprise: "Isn't the Second Emperor of Huiqin in the Great Song Dynasty?" How could it be in my Great Golden Dynasty? I really don't know about it! ”

Zhao Gou glanced at Yan Zongwang seriously, and saw that he really didn't know, and his dazed expression made Zhao Gou a little suspicious, "Could it be that the second emperor is really not in the Jin Dynasty?" If it is not in the Jin Dynasty, where is it? Why can't I find it? ”

In the past eight years, Zhao Gou has never stopped inquiring about the news of the second emperor of Huiqin, the strangest thing is that they seem to have disappeared, there is no news at all, even Zhao seems to be nowhere to be found, no matter how many people are sent, no news can be traced, even all parts of the Jin Dynasty have been investigated, or there is no trace.

Zhao Gou was really confused, if the Jin Dynasty really captured the second emperor of Huiqin, then it was impossible for them not to use this as a threat. Since Zhao Gou ascended the throne, after the beheading of Guo Yaoshi, the Jin Dynasty has not sent an envoy to negotiate with the second emperor of Huiqin, which makes Zhao Gou a little suspicious, if he is not captured, then where did the person go?

"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid that the emperor of the Jin Dynasty is no longer in Shangjing!"

Zhao Gou said again, he also thought of it after seeing Yan Zongwang, if Wan Yan Sheng was here, it would not be possible for there to be only a dozen generals, and the army would not be defeated so quickly, there was only one situation, that is, Wan Yan Zongwang was delaying time and giving Wan Yan Sheng the opportunity to leave Beijing.

"The emperor is really a dragon and a phoenix among the people!" Wan Yan Zongwang was stunned for a moment, and then did not deny that Wan Yan Sheng left, "Does this make the emperor a little disappointed?" ”

Zhao Gou smiled: "How can you be disappointed? Although he left temporarily, it could not escape the palm of my hand, but it only extended his time a little, and also increased the time for our army to continue to attack the Jin Dynasty city. However, if Wan Yansheng wants to escape, it depends on whether I am willing or not! ”

After that, Zhao Gou asked when Yan Sheng left, and it was impossible for Wan Yan Zongwang to tell Zhao Go, so he was silent after that, and finally Zhao Gou ordered someone to take Wan Yan Zongwang down and take good care of it. Wanyan Zongwang snatched the soldier's blade and killed himself on the way to be escorted away.

The Song army entered the city, entered the palace of the Jin Dynasty, and began to capture Yan Sheng, and sure enough, they found a stand-in, but they did not find the main owner. Zhao Gou didn't pay attention to this, and then ordered to let the army start searching, even if it was a corner, and be sure to find the traces of the Second Emperor Huiqin.

The army searched the city for a whole month, and there was still no trace of the carpet search, and finally Zhao Gou gave up. In addition, Zhao Gou also received military information from Wu Ling and Wu Jue, who had successfully captured Xianzhou and sent Jeju.

Zhao Gou immediately sent an order to them to stop the attack, and to be sure to hold Xianzhou, Shenzhou and other places firmly, and told them to prepare for winter. Wu Ling and Wu Jue obeyed the order, so they stopped continuing the attack and made every effort to prepare for winter.

Wang Wu, Li Shiren, Li Shien and others also received orders from Zhao Gou to transport all food, clothing and other materials to Dading Mansion, which became a granary and armory, and Zhang Jun and Li Xianzhong also joined in and constantly transported materials for the army.

Normally, the winter is only three months, but the winter here lasts for six months, which is colder than the sixteen states of Yanyun. At this moment, not only the soldiers, but also the horses need to be careful, such weather is not possible to march and fight at all, and can only wait for the wind and snow to pass.

Zhao Gou did not stay here for the winter, and after he arranged everything, he returned to Beijing with Gao Chong, Wang Wu and others. Although Zhao conceived to spend it with them, it was a pity that he couldn't help himself, as the king of a country, there were too many things for him to decide, and he didn't dare to delay in the slightest.

Zhao Gou sent an edict and ordered the army to rest and recuperate, and never allow any attack, you must know that the place where the Jin Dynasty is located is really cold in winter, not only to transport heavy cotton clothes, but also clothes made of animal skins, to keep warm, and at this time charcoal fire consumes more than anything.

After this battle, the main force of the Song army of 200,000 lost 90,000 people, and there were 110,000 people, Wu Ling and Wu Jue commanded 13,000 people, Zhang Jun and Li Xianzhong led 12,000 people, and the rest were in Gyeongju, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yizhong, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, etc. were all there, ready for winter at any time.

Zhao Gou strictly ordered the troops to be sent in winter, and the food of these people, as well as the cold and biting cold, all the things to keep out the cold must be transported in place, so as to avoid the situation that the roads are impassable and the army is trapped due to the wind and snow.

Zhao Gou did not dare to take risks, braved the wind and snow to attack, not only millions of taels of grain, but also millions of quintals of charcoal fire to keep out the cold, as well as cattle and sheep and other livestock, all of which were transported to various cities, costing a total of 30 million taels of silver.

Some ministers of the DPRK and China objected, thinking that it was not worth it, and asked Zhao Gou to withdraw his troops to the land of Yanyun, but Zhao Gou felt that it was not good to do so, not only would he have to attack again in the next year, but also the Jin soldiers were very adaptable to the climate there, and it was very inappropriate if there was any surprise attack, so he insisted on spending so much silver taels, also to ensure the safety of the soldiers in front.

After Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, he immediately ordered to take out money from the treasury, 30 million taels was the tax revenue of the Great Song Dynasty for most of the year, and the total amount of the treasury was only 50 million taels, that is, most of the silver taels in the treasury were used. It is normal for some people in the DPRK and China to oppose it.

However, if these silver taels were exchanged for the fall of the Jin Dynasty, the safety of the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou thought it was worth it. Moreover, 30 million taels of silver were used in this way, and it was also the largest and only time that the military expenditure was used since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty.
