Chapter 3 The cowardly does not need a sword to boast of surrender to the strong army

Zong Wangqi said: "If you don't use swords to rob it, how can you destroy the Song family and get its wealth and women?" Zong Han smiled slightly and said: "The Song people are cowardly, if they are not cornered, they will not resist." Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoNow the army is taught to guard the four walls of the city, trapping the city, and the food in the city will run out sooner or later, so you can use this to threaten the Song court and teach it to come to discuss and negotiate. It's just that this time to negotiate peace, I have to teach the emperor of Song Guotai or the emperor to come in person, as long as his emperor comes, is it inconvenient for me to wait for the puppet in my hands? When peace is negotiated, teach her to offer wealth and silk, and you don't have to risk your life to loot. ”

When Zong Wang heard this, he felt that it made sense, and couldn't help but bow his head slightly, Zong Han continued: "There is another one, although our army is not afraid of the soldiers and civilians in his city, but don't forget that there is also the female thief and the army and horse on Shandong Road are a hundred miles away, it is difficult to guarantee that she will not increase her troops there to the west, because our soldiers and horses cannot be trapped by those soldiers and civilians who resist in Kaifeng City." If most of our soldiers and horses are trapped in the city, and the female thief army and horse suddenly cover the attack, I am afraid that the army and horses outside the city will be defeated, then our army will be in danger. ”

Hearing this, Zong Wang was still a little hesitant, and at this moment, the former army general ordered someone to come to report that the righteous army in the city had firearms, and more than 1,000 people had been killed and injured. Hearing this, Zong Wang and Zong Han were taken aback, Zong Han hurriedly said: "It seems that the righteous army in the city has already received the help of Shandong Road Domain, so they even have firearms, and his firearms are used, even if they are three-year-olds, it is easy to hurt my soldiers, so hurry up and order to retreat to the city wall first." ”

Zong Wang made up his mind at this time, and hurriedly ordered all the troops and horses to retreat to the city wall, guard the city gates and city walls on all sides, and not enter the city easily. After the order, Zong Wang said to Zong Han: "If you hadn't mentioned it, it would have almost ruined a big thing." Now he sent an envoy to Kaifeng to teach him to come and negotiate peace? Zong Han shook his head with a smile and said, "No need, the monarchs and ministers of the Song family are all soft bones, and they will come to sue for peace." ”

However, it was said that in the Song Dynasty, He Li and Sun Fu had no heads, but fortunately, Wang Yan led the army to retreat to the imperial city, and Wang Yan finally appeased the chaotic forbidden army and divided the troops to guard the important places in the imperial city. He Li and Sun Fu couldn't intervene, but fortunately, Qin Zong in the palace hurriedly urged the two to enter the palace for questioning, and the two went immediately.

Seeing He Li and Sun Fu walking away, Wang Yan's henchmen sneered when they saw it: "Two foolish dog officials, they actually believe that some bullshit immortal who pretends to be a ghost, and we are so tired that we lose the outer city, and I don't know if the emperor will kill their heads." Wang Yan smiled bitterly: "How could the emperor kill the two of them, Guo Jing's matter is the emperor's will." ”

Another general on the side said: "It's strange to say, look at the spell of Guo Jing is still true, it is flying body, and it is hidden fog, at first glance, it is a person who has Taoism, why is this bean into a soldier, borrowing the spell of the Liujia Divine Soldier will not work?" ”

Xian Na General turned around and said in a low voice: "I heard that Guo Jing said before he fled incognito, saying that the current emperor is not the true dragon emperor, so his dragon beard is useless, so the spell failed." You didn't see that when Guo Jing slipped away, he also used a spell, but fortunately he had a spell, otherwise it would be impossible for him to escape from the thousands of troops. ”

When Wang Yan heard this, he turned around and shouted: "Don't talk nonsense!" The generals behind him all bowed their heads and did not dare to say more. After a while, another person whispered, "General, what should we do?" The outer city is lost, and it will be a matter of time before the imperial city is broken. Wang Yan said: "Loyal to your duties, desperately defend the city." The man said, "But what if the court asks for peace?" Wang Yan's eyes widened and he said angrily: "The battle has come to this point, if the official family wants to surrender, I will not obey!" What do you say?! "The henchmen under his command naturally echoed it together, but many soft-boned forbidden soldiers didn't think like this in their hearts, and they were all thinking about their own way out.

He Li and Sun Fu hurriedly entered the palace, and on the Zichen Palace, all the officials arrived, all of them with faces like mourning, and the huge Zichen Palace was gloomy. Seeing the two of them, Qin Zong hurriedly asked about the situation, and the two told them about the war.

Su Yuanjing, the captain of the number, shouted angrily: "You two traitors, attracted a Guo Jing, and deceived the Son of Heaven with clever words, and now that the army is defeated, you should use your two heads to apologize!" The wall fell down and everyone pushed it, and the routine that remained unchanged in ancient and modern times soon became surging and began to scold He Li and Sun Fu loudly.

In the end, Zhang Bangchang couldn't help but come out and played: "Your Majesty, now is not the time to investigate, let's discuss how to deal with the current crisis first." As soon as this remark came out, it was in the heart of Qinzong, just because He Li and Sun Fu were appointed by him, and Guo Jing was also appointed by him. So Qin Zong hurriedly said: "Yes, yes! At this time, hurry up and discuss how to deal with it, Guo Jing's matter, let's talk about it later! ”

The emperor set the tone, and the ministers hurriedly changed the topic. Su Yuanjing said loudly: "Your Majesty Mingjian, before the Shicai minister entered the palace, he saw that the people from all walks of life were wrapped in red scarves, and they rose from the pole to guard the intersections of Kaifeng City, piling up rocks and debris, blocking the road, and setting up a fire to block the Jin people. The people on all sides are self-organized righteous army, guarding the country, the minister thinks, this people's heart can be used, the current order, teach the whole city army and people to resist desperately, and then teach the dead to go out of the city, ask for help from the army and horses on the Shandong Road, and teach them to lead the soldiers and horses to come to King Qin, so that the inside and outside should be combined, and the people who will be able to fight and retire! ”

Zhang Bangchang immediately objected: "This matter is not possible, the people in the city are all ordinary people, there is no battle array, and there is no armor and weapons, how can they resist the wolf-like Jin army?" Now that he has four walls there, how can the dead get out of the city? Even if you go out of the city, there are only 30,000 military horses on Shandong Road, how can you kill them into the city? ”

Su Yuanjing said angrily: "Although the people in the city have not experienced a battle, they are victorious because there are many people, and they understand the benefits of the city, and they are also afraid that the Jin people will destroy their homes and bully their children, so they must be fighting to the death, how can they not resist the enemy?" What's more, there are tens of thousands of forbidden troops here, and they are guarding the main roads with the people, and they may not be unable to hold on. Kaifeng City has a water gate to pass through the outside of the city, teach the soldiers with good water nature, take advantage of the dark to sneak out of the city, how can it not be done? Although there are only 30,000 military horses on Shandong Road, as long as the imperial court decrees, there are still 100,000 military horses on Shandong Road, and it will only take more than ten days to come to King Qin by water. Shandong Road military horses are fierce and brave, and firearms are unparalleled, how can they not enter the city? ”

The two sides argued, and His Royal Highness Sun Fu suddenly said: "Your Majesty, the minister has a strategy, or you can have the best of both worlds." Qin Zong hurriedly said, "Hurry up." Sun Fu said: "Now the Jin people occupy the four city walls, the situation is critical, although the people in the city are numerous, but they may not be able to resist the fight." If you teach the important ministers to go out of the city and pretend to make peace with the Jinren, you may be able to win some time, and at the same time send people to go out of the city by water to ask for help, so that even if you can't ask for help, you can negotiate peace, and you won't lose anything. ”

Qinzong was overjoyed and said: "What the Qing family said is very much in line with my intentions. "The ministers of the palace are all looking at each other, it seems that the emperor has made an old mistake again, and the war is uncertain. Zhang Bangchang thought to himself, Your Majesty is playing with fire, if the Jin people learn that they are preparing the army and horses to prepare the king of Qin, it will inevitably anger the Jin people, and it will be difficult to negotiate peace. On the other hand, Su Yuanjing thought, Your Majesty still wants to negotiate peace, how can you teach the court to have the idea of fighting to the death? How can you defeat the Golden Man?

Although the ministers all felt that Qinzong was headed at both ends, no one dared to say it, and they were discussing who would go out of the city at the moment. Qin Zong glanced at He Li and Sun Fu, and said: "Guo Jing's matter, the guilt of the two of you, this trip will be up to the two of you to go out of the city to Jinying to seek peace, wear the guilt and make meritorious service, if you don't go, ask the guilt immediately!" ”

When it came to this, He Li and Sun Fu knew that they couldn't, so they had to receive the will, but He Li said: "Before the peace was discussed, the prince of the clan went together, and the Jin people allowed it. Qin Zong also felt that it made sense, the first time the Jin people surrounded Kaifeng, there were princes of the clan who went to negotiate peace together, and immediately ordered Zhao Xu, the king of Qi, to go out of the city to negotiate peace. Here, he ordered Su Yuanjing to take over the forbidden army, selected people with good water quality from the forbidden army, sneaked out of the water gate overnight, went to the outside of the city to convey the will, and taught the army and horses of the Shandong Road to come to King Qin, and spread the Song army from all walks of life to come to King Qin.

He Li, Sun Fu, and Zhao Xu, the king of Qi, arrived outside the imperial city, and soon arrived at the city, but the intersections were blocked by the people everywhere, and it was difficult to get through. The Jin army had already seen it, so he stepped forward to take it, asked about the intention, and read the official seal letters of a few people, and then led him to the Jin army camp outside the city to see Zongwang.

When he arrived at the camp of the Jin Army, he introduced the tent of the Jin Army Zong Wangshuai. At this time, it was already dark, and there was a killing color in the Jin camp, and outside Zongwang's tent were all Jin soldiers like wolves and tigers, swords and guns were like forests, staring at a few viciously, He Li, Sun Fu, Zhao Xu and others were all frightened. When I arrived at the tent, I saw that all the generals in the tent looked around angrily, and several of them knelt down involuntarily.

Zong Wang saw a few, and asked coldly, "What do you Song Kingdom mean by coming here at this moment?" "Although Zhao Xu is a prince, he is generally a person without bones, and he has already been paralyzed on the ground, unable to speak, He Li has the courage to reply to his intentions.

Zong Wang sighed, and after a few words of false comfort, he said: "I, Dajin and the Great Song Dynasty, had an alliance back then, if it weren't for the fact that there were always people there who provoked the two families, they would have caused the two families to fight each other. In fact, when my Emperor Taizu was in power, he just wanted to form a brotherly state with Song Guoyong, but he never thought that he would reach this point. Now you don't need to say much, but you can go back and tell your emperor that my Dajin has no intention of destroying the Song Dynasty, but because of your repeated provocations by the Song Kingdom, I have no choice but to send troops. Although the outer city of Kaifeng has been broken now, it will not attack the imperial city. Why is this peace, but because although the peace was reached before, your Song State has no sincerity to fulfill the peace agreement, so this peace negotiation must be made by your emperor himself before he is allowed to negotiate peace. If he doesn't agree, I will have to personally bring troops into the city to negotiate peace with him after dawn. ”

Hearing this, Zhao Xu still believed it, but He Li and Sun Fu felt that Zong Wang's words were too false, if Qin Zong really arrived in Jinying, would he still be able to end well? But Zhao Xu was anxious to go back, so he hurriedly agreed, and at that moment Zong Wang politely ordered someone to send a few back, just waiting for Song Ting's reply.
