Huang Jie's proposal to return the second emperor undoubtedly made Zong Wang embarrassed for a while, because as far as he knew, Wu Qimai always believed that Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan father and son were the weakness of the Great Song Dynasty, and of course they had to hold it in their hands.

However, Huang Jie also expected that Jin Guo would not be able to return the father and son no matter what, so he kept putting it up disgusting, after all, now there were Yang Keshi, Zhao Shuo, Zheyuemei, Chong Xuan and others standing behind him, and he couldn't tell his true thoughts and thoughts like he did to Yan Xiyin.

He also said that Zong Wang saw that Huang Jie was alive and dead and put on a posture of a turtle with a shrunken head, but he really had nothing to do, so he also made an appointment for a time to fight again after the Shangyuan Festival, and then turned back.

Immediately, he urgently ordered messengers to report a warning to Huining Mansion and the rest of Sanjing, and on the other hand, he relocated the site to build a camp fifteen miles north of Liaoyang Mansion, and ordered people to recruit craftsmen from Shenzhou and other places to start building all kinds of large-scale siege weapons and battle equipment.

As for the construction of Lingbao by the Song army along the way from Yaozhou to Liaoyang, after weighing the pros and cons, he also let his Jurchen generals Tie Wulu and the three brothers lead 10,000 troops to attack and disturb. The reason why only 10,000 horses were sent, instead of the whole army pressing, should be that Zong Wang had also seen the Song army's method of building Lingbao, and knew that it was useless to rely on raids alone, but just to do his best.

In addition, Zong Wang also convened the generals to discuss the matter, but he also admitted that if Zong Pan had not died in battle, his original intention was to retreat the whole army to Shenzhou and reject the Song army according to the city, but now that things have changed, he has to turn defense into attack, and he must stop Huang Jie in Liaoyang. Hearing Zong Wang's frank admittance, except for Guo Yaoshi, everyone among the generals was naturally shocked, because Zong Wang's words were definitely not "repel" and "annihilation", but "block", which meant that Zong Wang had no chance of winning at all.

Not to mention the intensive preparations on Zong Wang's side, it was said that Zong Bi's army, which was thousands of miles away, broke through Pyongyang City on the 21st day of the lunar month and plundered it for three days, and after leaving the leftovers for the 30 troops of Baishan who finally came up slowly, they also started to kill in the direction of Kaijing on the 26th of the lunar month.

The Goryeo city of Goryeo, which extended the line from Pyongyang to Kaijing, heard that the Jin army was killed, and more than half of them closed the city to defend themselves, and the remaining half turned out to be four gates wide open, and the defenders and the people in the city flocked to scatter, but asked the Jin army to march south quickly without shelter and go straight to Kaijing.

At this point, the Goryeo court was already frightened, first Yao Sheng persuaded Wang Kai to go directly out of Beijing and enter the sea, and first wanted to go to Baeknyeong Island, where the Song army was stationed, to avoid trouble, but halfway through it was strongly protested by the accompanying ministers, and finally had to change the route to Jeju (that is, Jeju Island) halfway.

Then, with Wang Kai's departure from Beijing, the Goryeo courtiers fled in droves, and finally pushed the great task of guarding Kaijing back and forth, and pushed it to Wang Chun, the king of Yanshan. This Yanshan King Chun is the half-brother of Ruizong Wang Yu, who is fifty-seven years old, likes to drink flowers and willows on weekdays, and has never known about military affairs, but now there is no other candidate available, so he has thrown the heavy responsibility of guarding Kaijing on him.

And the first thing this guy did after getting Wang Kai's order was to go to the Goryeo Temple and cry and make a fuss, and then after obtaining the command of the guards in the middle palace, he asked people to ban all the four gates of Kaijing, and at the same time did not allow the people to escape, he actually commanded the soldiers to flee according to the list of absentees of the previous dynasty to flee the minister's house to avoid trouble, not to mention the direct confiscation of money and property, and also put all the old and young women and children in his family and pushed them on the wall after locking them, and ordered these families to garrison the city.

However, I don't know if this Wang Chun is wrong or has been pretending to be confused, although his actions seem absurd, but it is also a good control of the atmosphere in the city, the people in the city can not escape, and can only take the initiative to stand up to help the defenders defend the city, after all, in the early years of the Jurchens and Goryeo in the north of the war everyone has long been familiar with, for the Jurchens to kill, rob money, rob women deeds are also known in the streets.

Fortunately, fortunately, Wang Chun finally completed the control and defense of the city before the Jin army killed the city under Kaijing, although the outer city wall of Kaijing was less than two zhang two, but the pure cavalry Jin army had to stop outside the city after arriving without being able to capture the city gate through a sneak attack.

On the twenty-ninth day of the lunar month of the second year of the main road, that is, when Zong Wang and Huang Jie were talking nonsense in front of Liaoyang City, Zong Bi's 20,000 troops were all gathered in the direction of the north gate of Kaijing. The 20,000 horses formed almost 30 phalanxes, and although the top 10 phalanxes were only 500 people each, they were all elites wearing two layers of armor, carrying the siege ladder that had been rushed overnight, and they also launched an attack on Kaijing City under the passionate drums and trumpets of the Jin army.

Zong Bi was dressed in a military uniform, and he also stood under the Daxu battle flag with an indifferent face, just looking at Kaijing City's eyes were both greedy and unwilling, and after listening to the drums and trumpets of the front battle, he suddenly asked Brother Yinshu beside him: "Brother Yinshu, if I wait for a day earlier, can I steal the city?" ”

Brother Yinshu laughed and said, "After all, this city is the royal capital of Goryeo, how can it be so easy?" ”

The reason why Zong Bi asked this was also because the army was actually delayed in Pyongyang for one more day, and after capturing Pyongyang City, he promised the soldiers three days to plunder, but after three days, the needs of the soldiers were met and the combat effectiveness was restored, but a new problem also arose at the same time, that is, the amount of loot obtained by the soldiers was too large, and if it was not dealt with on the spot, the troops with many trophies would not be able to go fast at all.

In the end, Zong Bi could only spend one more day, allowing the soldiers to use the spoils of war to return the trade with the thirty tribesmen of Baishan who arrived later, and also selected a few hundred people to form a transport team, packed the soldiers' spoils and transported them back to the various departments of the Jin State, and then led the lightly armed army to Kaijing.

At this time, seeing that the siege troops of the Jin army had begun to enter the range of the bows and arrows of the Goryeo people defending the city, while the defenders in the city were only shooting down sparse arrows, Zong Bi suddenly felt a lack of interest, so he chatted with Brother Yinshu: "Brother Shu, tell me, at this time, Hanlu is afraid that he should engage Huang Jie, right?" ”

Brother Yinshu also said when he heard this: "Although it is said that before departure, Wushe wants Hanlu to keep an eye on Yuguan, but I can hear that Wushe was attacked by Hanlu Bu How can he not save it, he will return from Jinzhou to help, at this time, I am afraid that he has already reached a group with Huang Jie under Liaoyang City." It's just, there's something weird...... It seems like we haven't heard from the north for three days in a row? ”

Zong Bi also said: "Indeed, no matter what, there should be some news coming!" ”

However, at this time, I saw a guard soldier suddenly pointing in the direction of the rear army and shouting: "Wuzhu, look! ”

Zong Bi hurriedly took a look, and saw that five or six horsemen and horses were running in the direction of the rear army, all dressed in rags and embarrassed, and the guards were waiting to attract people to ask, but the news reported was that Liaoyang City had been breached, and Wanyan Xiyin was also captured alive by Huang Jie.
