The following is from Baidu:

In the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin soldiers invaded the south in two ways, and the West Route Army was led by Zong Han, out of Datong, and approached along Shuo and Wuzhi to merge with the state. Zonghan sent people to Tong Guan, who was the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Hedong at that time, to request the cession of Hebei Hedong. Tong Guan saw that the situation was not good, and he had the intention to abandon the city and flee, and discussed with the prefect Zhang Xiaochun and the deputy governor Wang Yu. Zhang Xiaochun reprimanded: "As an important minister of the country, you can't use your body to overcome difficulties, once you abandon the city and flee, what will you see in the world." Tong Guan was silent, and fled with his relatives that night, and fled back to Bianjing in the starry night.

In December of the seventh year of Xuanhe, the Jin soldiers forced to the city of Bingzhou. There were less than 20,000 inhabitants in the city of Bingzhou, under the leadership of Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Yu, in the Tucheng of Bingzhou, heavy cities were built, outside the earthen city, trenches were dug, and the people over the age of 15 and under 60 years old were issued weapons, assigned lots, guarded the city day and night, and implemented military control over the grain stored in the city, regardless of whether they were rich or poor, and were supplied daily according to the capitation. In the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancient city of Bingzhou built by Pan Mei, the circumference is only ten miles, the north and south are Yunlu Street to the Houxiao River, and the east and west are the west gate of Qiaotou Street to the water. Zhang Xiaochun sat in the palace, and Wang Yu supervised and defended the city on the city wall every day.

Zong Han led the Jin soldiers to attack the city in turn, and the weapons such as ladders, partial bridges, and stone-throwing vehicles that attacked the city were all used by the Jin soldiers, and the slightly larger stones by the Fen River were all used up by the Jin soldiers, but they were all repelled by the soldiers and civilians of the state. Zong Han had no choice but to besiege the city of Bingzhou, build fortifications outside the city, and use antlers to camp and cut off all the passages outside the city of Bingzhou like an iron bucket.

In February of the first year of Jingkang, Song Qinzong was greedy for life and afraid of death, and agreed to the request of the Jin people, ceding the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian to the Jin people, and negotiated peace with the Jin soldiers. and sent Minister Lu Yundi to Bingzhou to preach. After Lu Yundi arrived in Taiyuan City, Zong Han gave up a passage and sent him to the city, and Wang Yu sent someone to hang the road into the city with a hanging basket. On the Kaiyuan Gate in the south of the city, the road read the holy decree to Zhang Xiaochun, the governor Wang Yu and the soldiers and civilians defending the city, and Wang Yu immediately rose with his sword: "The monarch should protect the country and love the people, and the subjects should be loyal to the monarch and keep the righteousness. The soldiers and civilians in the city all held weapons in their hands, raised their arms and shouted: "We are willing to follow the king to stick to the state, coexist with the city, and never retreat!" Glaring at Lu Yundi and his entourage, Lu was ashamed and went down the city.

The thieves were growing, and Taiyuan City had been besieged by Zong Han's Western Route Army for eight months. Wang Yu and his son Wang Xun led the army and the people to resolutely resist and swore to defend Taiyuan City. Wang Yu took the lead, galloping back and forth on the city wall every day, and wherever there was an emergency, Wang Yu came to support in person, and the state fathers and even the golden soldiers outside the city knew the name of Wang Zong.

Wang Yu led the Taiyuan army and people to hold on, from the beginning of spring to summer, and from summer to late autumn, the Jin soldiers attacked the city nine times before and after, and were repelled by Wang Yu nine times. But in the end, there were no reinforcements from the imperial court, and there was no food to receive them, and the food in the city was cut off, and the defenders were so hungry that they could not hold their weapons. The cows, horses, donkeys, and mules in the city were all eaten, and then the tendons on the bows and the hides on the armor were boiled over a high fire to satisfy their hunger. The green leaves on all the trees in the city and the chaff in the granary were all eaten, and gradually even the bark and grass were used as rations (recorded in the historical book "Jingkang Yaolu"). One day, Wang Yu ordered his subordinates to slaughter their horses to satisfy the hunger of the soldiers and civilians defending the city, and the guards dissuaded: "My lord gallops every day, and there is no mount, how to meet the enemy." Wang Yu looked up to the sky and sighed: "I can't keep the city of Bingzhou, even if I have thousands of family properties, what is the use." In a few days the horses and the leather from the saddles were eaten up in the city.

The soldiers and civilians of the city of Bingzhou held out until September of the first year of Jingkang, which had reached more than 250 days, and the soldiers and civilians in the city had suffered eight or nine out of ten casualties. On September 13, Wang Yu led the crowd to patrol the southern city wall, and the Jin soldiers continued to reinforce the northern city, and rushed all the way into the city. When the signal came, Wang Yu led his troops to the north of the city to support. Someone reported that the prefect Zhang had been captured, and Wang Yu led a team of only 100 people to the prefect's yamen. The Jin soldiers had rushed to meet the defenders led by Wang Yu, and Wang Yu led the crowd to engage in street battles with the Jin soldiers. Dozens of people supported each other and supported each other, their shabby robes were almost stained red with blood, some lost an arm, some broke a leg, and they were still supported by weapons, and they fought with Jin Bing step by step in the streets and alleys with Wang Yu...... The guards saw that the Jin soldiers were gathering reinforcements and there was no hope of retreating from the enemy, so they persuaded Wang Yu to retreat quickly, and Wang Yu reprimanded: "There are no people in the military and people of Bingzhou who are greedy for life and afraid of death. "This tired army of death fought from the city to the Kaiyuan Gate in the south of the city. Wang Yu had dozens of swords and spears in his body, but he still waved his sword and led the crowd to fight hard.

The elite soldiers mobilized by Zong Han galloped into the Kaiyuan Gate from outside the city and surrounded Wang Yu's people. Zong Han was in the middle of the battle, and sent a messenger (translator) to shout to Wang Yu and persuade him to surrender. Wang Yu looked at the dozens of bloodstained soldiers and civilians around him, and said slowly: "I have been loyal to the country and have done my duty for the people, what do I want in my life." So he turned around and stood, picked up the blood-soaked robe, wiped the sword that had been a little curled, and then raised it and pointed it at Zong Han and shouted: "Sticky Han (he didn't know the other party's Han name "Zong Han") barbarian dog, if you dare to slaughter the people of Taiyuan, I will ask for your life after I die." Then he put his sword across his neck and slashed it...... Dozens of Taiyuan soldiers and civilians who fought hard with Wang Yu, some killed themselves, some stabbed each other, all committed suicide in front of the battle, and none of them stole their lives. Zong Han was stunned and angry, slapped his horse and trampled on Wang Yu's body, and ordered the soldiers to chop it into pulp, his methods were brutal and outrageous.

There is also a historical theory of Wang Yu's death: he led hungry soldiers in street battles, was shot dozens of times, and finally carried the portrait of Zhao Guangyi of Song Taizong and his son Wang Xun who were enshrined in the Taiyuan ancestral temple and died by throwing himself into the Fen River. In short, the hero died a heroic death. That night, Wang Yu's body was stolen out of the city by the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians, and the Jin soldiers chased after discovering it, and the Taiyuan soldiers and civilians hurriedly hid Wang Yu's body in a small village in the south of the city, and buried it on the spot a few days later. The small village where Wang Yu's body was hidden, later generations called Wang Village.

On September 13 of the first year of Shi Jingkang (1126), Ma Shuai Wang Yu died at the age of fifty-nine; Pioneer Wang Xun was only thirty-five years old at the time. When Wang Yu's grandson Wang Xin was still young, fortunately the loyal old servants of the palace begged from Tongchuan, Qingzhou, Shandong Province to beg for the south, and lived in Changping Township, Yanguan County, Lin'an, and knotted grass for Lu (now Haining City, Yiqiao "grass house"), hard work, hard work, hard work. Gaozong Zhao moved the capital to Lin'an (now Hangzhou), the Southern Song Dynasty Jianyan four years (1130), Gaozong Jiaqi loyalty, posthumously crowned Wang Yu as the king of Anhua County, loyal and strong; Ziwang Xunxun presented the right martial arts doctor and Enzhou History; Summoned his grandson Wang Xin to attack the king of Anhua County, and gave the first salt official (now Anhua Fang, Yanguan Town, Haining City). After Wang Xin attacked the queen of Anhua County, he moved to Yanguan from Yiqiao Caosuo, and was the ancestor of the Wang family of Anhua in Haining. It was passed to the south, and the fourteenth Wang Xin moved from Sanguandun to Kip Stone during the Chenghua period of the Ming Dynasty. Wang Guowei, a famous master of Chinese culture in modern times, is the twenty-ninth grandson of Wang Xin.

Lao Zhu added a few more words:

Wang Yu was trapped in Taiyuan, and the division also led the army to Taiyuan to relieve the siege, and the three reinforcements were the only ones who went to save Taiyuan, and the other two roads fled without a fight. Reinforcements along the way, facing countless golden soldiers, three wins in five battles, and still no one came to help. The nearest division was only ten miles away from Taiyuan, and finally defeated in Shouyang, Shanxi, with only more than 100 people left around him, seriously injured in four places, and died in battle. Famous breeders, respectable!

Wang Yu fought hard in Taiyuan alone, and then the Song court had ceded Taiyuan to the Jurchens in order to negotiate peace. Qin was sent to Taiyuan to help the Jurchens persuade Wang Yu to surrender, but Wang Yu still did not surrender, and no one in the entire Great Song Dynasty talked about Taiyuan. Sit and watch Wang Yu fight to death alone.

These stories are too sad to sing and cry about.
