The Jin army of Hebei heard that Datong Mansion was also besieged by the Song army, Wanyan Zongbi had to lead the Jin army to find a way back from Yanshan, and finally fortunately Gubeikou was still in the hands of the Jin army, Wanyan Zongbi led the army to return to the north from Gubeikou, but the Jin army under Zongbi was chased and killed by the Song army along the way, there were many dead and wounded, lost, equipment, military tents, money and food were lost, and finally only more than 10,000 Jin troops could escape.

And Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Ang, who guarded Datong Mansion, did not have such good luck, after the two led the army to retreat to Datong Mansion, before they had time to withdraw their troops, they were besieged in Datong Mansion by the Song army on the left road. After besieging the city for a month, the Song army finally broke through Datong Mansion, and the Jin army was wiped out from the 30,000 Jin troops under Wanyan Lou Room and Wanyan Ang. The Datong Mansion was also seriously damaged, the Song army blew down several sections of the city wall, the soldiers and civilians in the city were poisoned by the war, and finally the Song army broke the city after the household registration, only the population of more than 50,000 people remained.

Fortunately, after the city was broken, the Song army did not kill again, but sealed the sword into the city to appease the people in the city. Subsequently, Lin Chong, Wang Yu and other generals divided their troops to attack Confucianism, Fu, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Huan, Shuo and other other eight states west of Taihang.

At the end of September of the second year of Jingkang, the Song Army's three-way Northern Expedition army finally met in Yanjing, and the three-way army and horses swept through the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the sixteen states of Yanyun fell for more than two hundred years since the fall of Shi Jingjiao of the fifth dynasty, and finally the sixteen states of Yanyun returned to the hands of the Han people.

On the other side, after Yue Fei's division of the right army also crossed Liaodong to the east, he captured Liaoyang Mansion, and after the three generals of the division, Li Gang and Zong Ze, they reported to the imperial court with a great victory, applied for the war, and asked for a reward, so they rested the army and horses in the sixteen states of Yanyun, and waited for the will of the imperial court not to mention it.

Sanniang is flourishing in Kaifeng Fuwei, and Yanyun has good news, and the court is naturally a faction of praise for virtue. At the beginning of October, after the good news came, the lights inside and outside Kaifeng City were colorful, and Sanniang issued an order to celebrate the three days.

Three days later, there was a Hebei Daimyo Mansion who stayed behind Wang Zao to write to the imperial court and invited the Son of Heaven to be the king of Lu. After Wang Zao's letter was written, it caused an uproar, and the ministers of the DPRK and China have persuaded them to follow the wind.

Wang Zao is a native of Raozhou, Qinzong was Taichang Shaoqing at the time, he was an honest official, jealous and hateful, and Cai Jing, Wang Hao and others were extremely incompatible. After the Jin soldiers besieged the city, he was a minister who stayed in Tokyo, because of his opposition to Zhang Bangchang and others who betrayed the country for glory, he was almost killed, and after Lou Minzhong recovered Kaifeng, he was rescued. After Sanniang returned to Beijing, he was ordered to serve as the guard of the Daimyo's Mansion and coordinate the Northern Expedition's military needs.

Wang Zao used to be a Tuntian clerk and a foreigner, an honest official, and Su Yuanjing, he had already been persuaded by Su Yuanjing, and at the same time, Wang Zao was also the same as Su Yuanjing, and he did not report hope to the Song Dynasty that had broken off the heir, plus Sanniang's hot hand to rectify the rule of officials, Wang Zao admired Sanniang's methods and made exceptions, so he was the first to persuade him.

is the same as the routine of persuasion in history, the first persuasion of Sanniang is naturally to let it. So at a court meeting, Sanniang humbly rejected the Zen position proposed by the empress, and when she heard many ministers propose the Zen position, she was happy for a while, and she was full of thoughts about getting out of the sea of suffering after being able to Zen the throne, but she didn't expect that Sanniang insisted on not accepting the Zen position, and she was depressed for a while.

Later, Sanniang said alone, only because the Zen position wanted to give three resignations, so she was not angry, but when she heard Sanniang say that she wanted her to be the emperor for a few more months, she pouted and said: "Official, this emperor is not easy to do, you have to obey the rules when you speak and do, and you can't talk nonsense, and no one dares to get close to you, it's really not easy to do, and you have to do it for a few more months?" I'm afraid I won't be able to hold it up. ”

Sanniang comforted: "After next year, your year name will be used, and after the three resignations, I will take over, and then let you do what you want to do happily." Everything has me, and you're just working hard for a few months. "It's hard to persuade me to be happy, Sanniang often writes some poems and reads, and often accompanies and plays, which makes me settle down.

Since Sanniang opened the mansion in Kaifeng, Shandong Road there withdrew to the town, taught Zhu Wu to be the envoy of Shandong Road, Sanniang and the Hu family were connected to Kaifeng, and the eldest son Hu Zongming was the son of King Lu, and the adopted son Hu Zongrui was already fifteen years old, so he followed Zhu Wu to serve in the army on Shandong Road.

After the Northern Expedition won the victory and recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun, Sanniang ordered the Northern Expedition to continue the Northern Expedition, and it was determined to break through the capital of the Jin State and go to Beijing, destroy its country and completely set the northern land. After Sanniang's edict arrived in Yanjing, the news of persuasion also arrived in Yanjing.

The mansion of the king of the southern courtyard of the Liao State in Yanjing, which was the residence of the Yanjing of the Jin State when the Jin State occupied it, has now been changed to the residence of the generalissimo of the Northern Expeditionary Army.

The seed master said: "So King Lu's military order is to continue the Northern Expedition, and the military order orders us to continue the three-way Northern Expedition, and my left army will go out of Yunzhou Datong Mansion, attack the Xijing Road of Jinguo, go down to Hengzhou, and sweep all the way to Shangjing." The Middle Route Army went north from Yanjing to Dading Mansion, attacked Xianping Mansion, and marched north all the way to Shangjing. The Right Route Army crossed Liaodong to the east, and Yue Fei's troops invaded Longzhou from Liaoyang Prefecture to the north, swept the northeast Shangjing Road, and finally the Third Route Army and Horse Division went to Beijing. ”

Li Gang said: "King Lu's army has been deployed in place, the cavalry of the left army is the majority, and it can sweep the west road of Jinguo in battle, the middle route army and the right route army are reliable by sea, and send troops to the north, and then the king of Lu has ordered to teach Wang Zao to be competent to stay in Yanjing, and coordinate the grain and grass of the Northern Expedition. Then Shi Jin led more than 100,000 reinforcements from the Western Army, and if he wanted to come to the Northern Expedition, he could pacify the North in one fell swoop. ”

The generals spoke one after another, but Zong Ze was silent, and finally only said: "The strategic deployment of King Lu's army is flawless, just follow it." After discussion, the generals retired one after another, and went to prepare for the expedition, and there were only three left: Seed Master, Li Gang, and Zong Ze.

After seeing that all the generals had retreated, the planter took a sip of tea and asked slowly: "The old general of the sect is sullen, but is it for the sake of persuasion?" Zong Ze was open-minded by nature and did not hide it, so he said: "Although the Zhao and Song clans are declining, and the new son of heaven is a woman, but it is said that the new emperor has no loss of virtue. ”

Li Gang said lightly: "Old General Zong, you and I have nothing to talk about. Do you still remember that when we were guarding Tokyo, you and I worked hard to plan the military for Qinzong, but which one of them should be done smoothly? The War of Resistance for the country and the people, when it came to Emperor Qinzong, always became a bargaining chip for peace talks. The rise and fall of the country, the emperor is responsible, Zhao Song is in decline, the mandate of heaven is no more, is it time for the old general to hold on to Zhao Song? ”

When Li Gang said this, he stood up and said: "Say something that shouldn't be said, if there is really no King Lu in the court, what will happen to my Great Song Dynasty National Games, have you ever thought about it?" Kaifeng City is broken, the second emperor is reduced to a prisoner, even if King Kang crosses to the south, in the end it must be a corner of peace, in the future, the Great Song Dynasty will be like the Jin Dynasty, lose half of the country, how do we face the military and civilians in the world? For me, whoever is the emperor can stabilize the world and protect the country, I will support whomever I support. ”

The seed master muttered: "General Zong, although the empress has not committed any offenses now, all military and political affairs are the handiwork of King Lu, if it is really handed over to the empress, it will definitely be a chaotic situation in the world." It's all about letting a woman be the emperor, but it's better to let King Lu, a woman of the world, do it, and be more able to convince the public. ”

The planter paused and continued: "Is there no loyal minister in the court? Why is it as honest as Wang Zao, loyal as Huangshang, and righteous as Yuanjing, and many old ministers of the Song Dynasty support King Lu's persuasion? In fact, the Great Song Dynasty has exhausted his anger, and he barely supports it, which is not beneficial to the country. ”

Zong Ze's hair was white, but he just sighed and didn't speak. Li Gang then persuaded: "Since I met with General Zonglao, I have also had a long talk several times, and I have talked a lot about the stakes in it. I still say that in the future, I will regularly persuade the Zen position, this is the general trend of the world, those who follow the trend advocate it, and those who go against the trend die. Now the king of Lu is on the side of the Northern Expedition, while purging the officials, which shows his ambition to govern the country, after the Northern Expedition in the future, it is to recuperate and recuperate, and the people are quiet. ”

The planter said: "Yes, in the future, the Zen position will be persuaded to enter and a new dynasty will be established, and there will still be people in the country who want to fight?" General Zong, the general trend has gone, there is no need to be reluctant. Moreover, the empress has not yet married, even if she is married to the imperial husband in the future, I don't know what variables there are, I guess it is probably another disaster for relatives, it is better to support King Lu at this moment, so that King Lu has a God-given son. ”

Li Gang said: "Exactly, I heard that Hu Zongming, the son of King Lu, although he is still young, but only five years old, but he is gifted and intelligent, and he has heard that he can recite four books and five classics, and he will be a Ming monarch who will stabilize the country in the future, as long as King Lu will not marry in the future, we will support this son of destiny, open a national dynasty, and continue the Han Dynasty, why not?" ”

Zong Ze listened to it for a long time, sighed and said: "If King Lu can really stop marrying in the future, avoid the trouble of that relative, and help the prince of Lu, I am not unable to accept the persuasion of the Zen position." Hearing this, the two of them were overjoyed, Zong Ze finally changed, and then the seed master said: "This is natural, I heard that since King Lu was widowed, he has made up his mind not to marry again, and he will not marry any man again, of course, he will not marry again." ”

Zong Ze shook his head and said: "You and I don't have to count this matter, and the rumors may not be credible." I don't want to see it like Wu Zetian in the previous dynasty, and the situation of appointing male favorites later appeared, so that the best thing is that King Lu can show his heart in public. ”

Li Gang said with a smile: "This matter is easy to hear, I will wait for the three of you to write a letter and ask the Son of Heaven to give marriage to King Lu, and make a little temptation." King Lu has worked hard and made great achievements, and the Son of Heaven is a woman, so it is also appropriate to give marriage to King Lu. ”

The more the three old guys discussed, the more they couldn't speak, so the three of them jointly played a letter and asked the empress to choose a handsome man in the country and marry King Lu to show his merits.
