In the fifth year of Jingkang of the Great Song Dynasty (1125), the tenth day of the eighth month. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

About six days after arriving in Hoeryeong Mansion, the envoys led by Li Bangyan were summoned by the gold lord Wanyan Wu Qimai. However, in the middle of the talks, because Wu Qimai repeatedly avoided talking about the large-scale looting and ransom of Xijing and the six prefectures where he was born, including Ying (present-day Yingxian County, Shanxi) and Wei (present-day Weixian, Hebei), the deputy envoy Geng Nanzhong and others argued with reason, and threatened that if the Jin State did not want to negotiate the ransom, the alliance with the two countries would be harmful.

Who knows, after mentioning the matter of the covenant, the Jin side also used the matter of Zhang Yu's rebellion against Jin to negotiate with the Song envoys, although Li Bangyan and others said that Zhang Jue's betrayal of Jin had nothing to do with Song, but the words caused Wanyan Wu to beg for his anger, and the negotiation broke up unhappily.

On August 12, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zonghan and other generals of the Jin Army asked Wu to beg to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that Zhang Yu had changed. After Wu begged to weigh the trade-offs, he proposed to the Great Song Dynasty that he was willing to give the Song Dynasty a discount of 18 million guan to the eighteen counties in six states, but he also asked the Song Dynasty to hand over the 400,000 yuan of the old coins originally to the Liao Dynasty to the Jin Dynasty every year, and also to hand over the taxes of the 284 counties in these six states to the Jin Dynasty every year, in addition to Yanjing and other places that had been delivered to the Great Song Dynasty before, they also needed to pay another 1 million guan every year as "tax money".

Seeing Wu Qimai opening his mouth like this, Li Bangyan and the others naturally couldn't agree, and then Wu Qimai declared war on the Great Song Dynasty on the grounds of the Great Song Dynasty's betrayal of the alliance.

On August 15, Wu begged to buy and confiscate all the honor guards, money and materials of the envoys, and only returned to the Song Dynasty with one horse and two cattle and Li Bangyan. On the same day, Wu Qimai issued a golden arrow order to mobilize the Jin army to assemble in Dading Mansion.

On the eighth day of the ninth month, the Jin army gathered 50,000 cavalry in Dading Mansion, Wu Qimai ordered Wanyan Zongwang to be the East Route Army, led 30,000 horses to Yuguan, ordered Wanyan Zonghan to be the West Route Army, and led 20,000 horses to go down to Datong Mansion to attack Taiyuan directly, and the two roads attacked Song at the same time.

Wanyan Zongwang set off on September 16 and arrived at the city of Yuguan on September 22. Although since the last time the Jin army conquered Yuguan and demolished the city, the Song army repaired and strengthened the garrison. But at this time, even if the Song army strengthened its defense, the defenders of Chengguan only had more than 2,000 people, and they were taken down by the Jin army in one day.

After that, Wanyan Zongwang went all the way south, and Kepingzhou on the 25th; On the 28th, he conquered Yanshan Mansion and beheaded the garrison Wang Yu. On the second day of October, Han Minyi, the general of Yizhou (now Yixian County, Baoding City, Hebei) of the Great Song Dynasty, surrendered.

On October 15, Yang Keshi of the Song army was defeated at Baigou and Gubeikou; Five days later, Fan Yangshou lowered Guo Yaoshi's gold, and the Great Song Dynasty's defense on the front line of Yanshan Mansion completely collapsed; Soon the Song Dynasty Zhongshan (now Dingzhou, Hebei) sent 30,000 reinforcements, on the eighth day of the winter month, and broke the Song Dynasty soldiers of 5,000 in Zhending Mansion (now Zhengding, Hebei), on the twenty-second day of the winter month, Wanyan Zongwang attacked the city for only two days Kexinde Mansion (now Xingtai, Hebei).

As for the 20,000 troops led by Wanyan Zonghan, the marshal of the West Road, he joined the 3,000 Jurchens and 7,000 Zahu who stayed behind in Datong, and combined 30,000 troops to attack Taiyuan, first conquered Shuozhou (now Shuozhou, Shanxi) on the second day of October, broke Daizhou (now Dai County, Shanxi) on the ninth day of the first month, and opened the city of Zhongshan on the 16th. On October 28, they arrived at Taiyuan, but were stubbornly resisted by the defenders of Taiyuan, and after five days of siege, they fought a battle, because the Jurchens who besieged the city had many casualties, Wanyan Zonghan ordered the slaughter of the city.

On the eighth day of the first month of the sixth year of Jingkang, Wanyan Zongwang led 30,000 troops to arrive at the city of Daimyofu, and the central part of the Song army retreated without a fight. The defenders of Huazhou collapsed without a fight, and the Jin army conquered Huazhou without a fight, and then the Zongwang army ransacked Huazhou and went south again, arriving at the city of Bianliang on the 22nd of the first month.

"The sky is falling!"

Bianliang in the first month, although the weather is sunny and snowless at this time, but the atmosphere of the New Year's Festival has not subsided, for the people of Bianliang, until the moment when the Jin army really appeared outside Bianliang City, Huo Ran was shocked that something was wrong.

In view of Song Jun's consistent urine of reporting good news and not bad news, the people in Bianliang City did know the truth only at the last moment!

Therefore, in the streets and alleys of this day, the three words that are heard the most are: The sky has fallen!

In fact, it took almost four months for the Jin army to go from declaring war on the Great Song Dynasty to swearing to march out, until the soldiers in front of them came to the city, but before and after, the Song army was defeated all the way, and the news that the Great Song Dynasty city was continuously conquered was well concealed by the Great Song court.

In fact, as early as when the Jin soldiers invaded Zhongshan Mansion, the government and the opposition were also shaken, and the Zhao official family wanted to abandon the country and flee south. In the middle of the matter, Wu Min went to see the official's house and tried his best to oppose the escape, and Li Gang also played the five strategies of "Yurong". He also said, "The non-heir prince is not enough to attract the world's heroes", and asked Zhao Guanjia to announce his abdication and "collect the hearts of the soldiers", but Zhao Guanjia refused at the beginning, and only appointed Wu Min as his subordinate to assist the prince.

But as the Jin soldiers approached more and more, the Zhao Guanjia became more and more panicked and annoyed, and when they heard that the seed army in the seed division retreated without a fight in the Daimyo's Mansion and let the Jin army go south, he took Cai You's hand and said: "I didn't expect the Jin people to be like this!" ”

Saying that he was in a coma and fell in front of the bed, the ministers hurriedly poured medicine for first aid, and after Zhao Guanjia woke up, he couldn't speak, so he asked for a pen and paper, and wrote: "The crown prince can be the emperor, and the sect leader Daojun will retire to Longde Palace." ”

At the beginning of December, the crown prince Zhao Huan ascended the throne, and Zhao Ji automatically abdicated, and was called the head of the Daojun Emperor, called "Emperor Taishang".

On the third day of the first month of the following year, Zhao Ji, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others heard that the Jin soldiers had crossed the Yellow River and decided to flee south overnight. Zhao Ji only took Cai You and a few servants, and in the name of "burning incense", he hurriedly escaped from Tokyo, first ran to Bozhou, and then fled from Bozhou to Zhenjiang to avoid trouble. Tong Guan and the palace both commanded Gao Yu to lead the Shengjie army and the Praetorian Guard, and caught up with Huizong in Sizhou, and Cai Jing also led his family to flee to Gongzhou in the name of "Hu Cong".

However, all this is unheard of for the people of Bianliang City.

Even in December, thousands of cattle and sheep are still bustling into the city every day in Nanxunmen, and the various Goolan tile cities in the city are also crowded, and the boats coming north on the bank of the Yellow River are decreasing day by day, Bianliang City is still the center of the Great Song Dynasty. Even last year, when the emperor suddenly passed on the throne and the crown prince, such a major event was nothing more than to make the people in the market have more after-dinner conversations, and their most concerned question is naturally how the new emperor should reduce the world's money and grain taxes when he succeeds to the throne, or when to carry out the benevolent government of amnesty to the world.

However, on the twenty-second day of the first lunar month, when the traders who got up early in the morning to drive cattle and sheep to enter the Nanxun Gate looked at the foreign cavalry galloping from the bank of the Yellow River in the north like wolves and tigers, they also wailed and fled as if they had just woken up from a dream.

Almost in the blink of an eye, the bad news spread throughout Bianliang, and the huge city of millions of people soon gathered the wails of words into one sentence:

"On this day...... It's going to pour! ”
