Chapter 779: Soldiers Descend on the City

Just after noon, 200,000 Jin soldiers crossed the Wuzhang River and arrived at the old camp ten miles north of Bianliang City, which was also the place where the Jin soldiers were stationed last time.

At the same time, the elite of 30,000 Jurchen cavalry led by Wanyan Zonghan also arrived at Chicang Town, south of Bianliang City, and Wanyan Zonghan immediately sent more than 100,000 Song military heads to the main camp.

The main camp of the Jin soldiers is busy stationing the big camp, more than 10,000 Jin soldiers go around to cut down trees to build a camp fence, this time Wanyan Xian also changed the garrison strategy, the 200,000 Jin soldiers were stationed in the southeast, northwest and four directions, surrounded the city of Tokyo, and the main camp was still placed in the north, stationed 100,000 troops.

Although there were only 100,000 troops to the north, the barracks still covered an area of ten miles, encompassing the wilderness and vast farmland.

A large wool tent is erected, among which the marshal's tent of the end of the face is particularly eye-catching, it is a certain lotus tent, a main tent in the middle, there are five sub-tents around it, covering an area of five acres, it is a very spectacular royal tent, there is a gilded tower at the top, shining in the sun.

In the big tent, the soldiers are still busy arranging the big tent, laying carpets, and placing decorations, Wan Yan Xian is especially fond of gold utensils, all the items in his big tent are made of gold, and the whole big tent is dazzling with gold, as if people feel like they are in a treasure trove.

The soldiers were busy, but Wan Yan Xian also stood aside with his hands in his hands, listening to the report of Wan Yan Zongwang, who had just rushed back.

Wanyan Zongwang successfully intercepted the Emperor Zhao Ji, which made Wanyan Xian also very satisfied, and he smiled at Wanyan Zongwang: "Although Zonghan broke through the 200,000 Song army and killed more than 100,000 enemies, in my opinion, his merits are still not as good as you catching the Emperor Taishang of the Song Dynasty." ”

Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed, and hurriedly said: "Thank you Marshal Du for your kindness, I will continue to work hard and will not disappoint the marshal!" ”

Wan Yan Xian is also very clear about the contradiction between Zong Han and Zong Wang, and he doesn't plan to mediate, wouldn't it be better to let the two compete hard, he was ecstatic when he saw Yan Zongwang, so he immediately guessed his thoughts, and said lightly: "I just told you a principle, attack the city for the bottom, attack the heart for the top, to force the emperor of the Song Dynasty to go out of the city and surrender, that is the real conquest, although killing people is refreshing, but it is only to destroy the body, not to conquer the hearts of the people, do you understand what I mean?" ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

"Now that you understand, how do you attack Bianjing?"

Wanyan Zongwang lowered his head and pondered for a moment and said: "Negotiate first, if the negotiation fails, then attack the city, and then force them to negotiate, use both hands in peace talks, both soft and hard, and finally force the emperor of the Song Dynasty to go out of the city and surrender." ”

Wan Yan Xian also nodded slightly and smiled: "Since you understand, then you are responsible for fighting, and I will be responsible for talking, and see how long the Song Dynasty can hold out under both soft and hard measures?" ”

"What is Zong Han responsible for?" Wanyan Zongwang asked in a low voice again.

"He is in charge of the periphery and annihilates the Song army that rushed to King Qin!"

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly remembered something, and hurriedly asked, "May I ask Marshal Du, how have those sky-shaking thunders been repaired?" “

Speaking of earth-shaking thunder, a trace of irrepressible anger flashed in Wan Yan Xian's calm eyes, after Wan Yan Zonghan captured Taiyuan City, he actually captured two thousand earth-shaking thunder, which made Wan Yan Xian also overjoyed.

But after the earth-shaking thunder was transported to the Daimyo's mansion, they found that most of the earth-shaking thunder actually did not have a fire rope, and was pulled out by the Song soldiers when they retreated, and the earth-shaking thunder without the fire rope was no different from a piece of iron lump, when several captured top firearms craftsmen worked hard to reload the fire rope, but found that the earth-shaking thunder had become a dumb mine, and it could not be detonated at all.

Wan Yan Xian also said coldly: "It hasn't been completely repaired yet, this time use three hundred first, it should be enough!" ”

Wanyan Zongwang lowered his head in disappointment, these three hundred were only a small part of the more than two thousand earth-shattering thunders, and it was said that they were still found in the military warehouse.

Wan Yan Xian was also swept away, and he felt irritable in his heart, so he waved his hand, "If there is nothing else, just step down!" When to storm the city, listen to my orders. ”

Wan Yan Zongwang retreated, Wan Yan Xian also walked a few steps in the room with his hands in his hand, his heart finally calmed down, and he turned around and asked, "Is Liang Zhongshu back?" ”

"It's back!"

"Let him come to me!"

After a while, Liang Zhongshu walked quickly into the big tent with a wooden box in his hand, knelt down and saluted, "See Marshal Du!" ”

"Governor Liang has worked hard, please get up!"

"Thank you, Marshal!"

"This is Li Yanqing's head?" Wan Yan also glanced at the wooden box and asked.

"Exactly!"

Wan Yan also picked up the wooden box with his toes, and inside was a young man's head, and the blood stains on his face were wiped clean, but it still looked very weird, his face was black, and he was obviously poisoned to death.

"Governor Liang, is this Li Yanqing?"

Liang Zhongshu nodded, "I know Li Yanqing from a humble position, it seems that it should be him, and Li Yanqing has no military power now, and it is relatively easy to be caught, listen to their explanation, Li Yanqing was found in the cellar of Cao Mansion, and he committed suicide by taking poison when he was desperate." ”

"How many credible things can the Song people say?"

Wan Yan Xian also snorted, and kicked the wooden box shut again, he took Li Yanqing and said that it was just an excuse to increase a little psychological advantage in negotiation, the original intention was to negotiate the deal, and he couldn't stop negotiating because of the authenticity of Li Yanqing!

From this matter, Wan Yan Xian also tested the other party's fear of his army, and he muttered for a while: "Go and tell the other party that I accept their sincerity, and the peace judgment can be carried out, but three Xiangguo representatives of the Great Song Dynasty must come to my camp for peace talks." ”

........

The army of Jin Guo is approaching the city, the capital suddenly becomes extremely tense, the business that has just recovered a little bit is like a small spring in winter, with the arrival of the cold wind, it quickly shrank and depression, every house is closed, the street is extremely deserted, occasionally there will be an ox cart full of goods from the outer city to drive in, this is the residents who fled from the outer city into the inner city, the outer city has become extremely unsafe, Xu Ning under the suggestion of Li Yanqing, sent troops to inform the residents of the outer city to withdraw into the inner city.

In an official mansion near the Suzaku Gate, Li Yanqing met Cao Sheng, the general of the right guard, although Cao Sheng was a concubine, but he had a close relationship with Zhao Kai, the king of Yun, after the crown prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he was quite wary of him, and deprived him of his military power in the forbidden army in the way of promotion and debasement, and appointed him as the idle post of general Jin Wuwei.

Despite this, with the prestige of the Cao family in the army, as well as Cao Sheng's own connections in the forbidden army for more than ten years, Li Yanqing really had to ask Cao Sheng for help with many things.

"You kid thinks of me now?"

Cao Sheng glared at Li Yanqing angrily, "Why didn't you come to me when you were searched by the forbidden army before, I'm afraid I won't be able to protect you?" ”

"Aren't you afraid of affecting your old man!"

Li Yanqing said with a smile, he also knew that his actions would make Cao Sheng annoyed, but there was no way, and now he could only take out the hippie smile of his junior to deal with it.

"Don't pretend to be tender in front of me, don't think I'll spare you, if you have three long and two short, how can I explain to the old man? How do we explain to Yun Niang? ”

Cao Sheng wasn't very angry at first, but when he thought that Zhizheng Tang actually handed over the fake Li Yanqing's head to Jinren, indicating that Zhizheng Tang really wanted to kill Li Yanqing, he couldn't help but be angry, and his tone towards Li Yanqing became stern.

Li Yanqing felt Cao Sheng's anger, and the playful expression on his face was also put away, and after a while, he explained in a deep voice: "Xu Ning is my backhand, and at this critical moment, I must grasp the New Taipei Army." ”

"Then why didn't you tell the truth just now, since you also know that this is a critical moment, you still have the heart to joke with me?"

Li Yanqing nodded silently and said apologetically: "Sixth uncle, I'm sorry!" ”

Cao Sheng sighed hatefully, "I'm actually not angry with you, but I hate the bastards of the Zhizheng Hall, who have no backbone at all, and I have been thinking about how to compromise and make peace all day long, I don't understand, how did the dignified Zhizheng Hall become a nest of traitors?" ”

Li Yanqing was silent, everyone knows the reason, since ancient times, Ming Jun has been famous, and Dum Jun has been treacherous.

Cao Sheng saw that Li Yanqing didn't speak, and he didn't complain anymore, so he asked, "Say it!" What's the matter with me today? ”

"The 20,000 forbidden troops in the city, can the sixth uncle tell me about it!"

Cao Sheng pondered a little and said: "The commander of the front of the palace is concurrently served by Wang Shiyong, the squire of the military department, but he is a civil official, and he is only in charge of the general direction of the army. ”

Wang Daoqi? Li Yanqing immediately remembered his son Wang Jun, it was really a narrow road, although he knew that it was unlikely to succeed, but Li Yanqing still had a trace of luck in his heart and said: "How likely is it to win over Wang Daoqi?" ”

"Do you think it's possible?" Cao Sheng asked him rhetorically.

Li Yanqing had to be silent, Cao Sheng sighed and said: "You are the official secretary of the imperial court, and you are the Duke of Lu Guo, although the Zhizheng Hall pretended to search for you under the pretense of the Holy Decree, but you were not dismissed, Wang Daoqi had every right to refuse the search, but he still sent troops to actively cooperate with the Zhizheng Hall to spare no effort to search for you, which shows the hatred in this person's heart for you!" ”

Cao Sheng's words completely cut off a glimmer of hope for Wang Daoqi in Li Yanqing's heart, Cao Sheng looked at him, and said with a slight smile: "Although I can't win over Wang Daoqi, it doesn't mean that I have no way to deal with the forbidden army." ”

Li Yanqing was overjoyed, "I knew that the sixth uncle would not let me down." ”

"Although I have a little influence on the forbidden army, I am really not as good as you."

"Me?" Li Yanqing didn't figure it out for a while, frowned and asked, "Why me?" ”

Cao Sheng smiled slightly: "Do you remember Pan Yue?" ”
