The Jin army has besieged the city for more than ten days, the city gate is closed, the road is open again, and the people are talking one after another, in fact, there is no foolproof plan at this time, the courtiers of the Great Song Dynasty are more asking for a promise to cede the land of the three towns, and use this time to send an edict to the Quartet to enter Beijing on the one hand, and on the other hand, to order Hebei and Hedong to strictly defend it, so as to gain more time and wait for things to turn around and change.

And the courtiers all said in unison, and aimed the signs of accusation at Tang Ke, the former slaughterer of the dead tiger. As long as someone takes the lead, someone will respond, so Tang Ke's previous evil deeds are all reproduced by the scene: he is greedy in the local office, attached to Cai Jing in the capital party, the corpse is vegetarian, he is not sympathetic to the national conditions, he is the one who cuts the land, and he is also the one who does not cut the land, if he makes up his mind to cut off the land of the three towns early, the Jurchen army will not cross the river, let alone take the river as the national boundary, and will not force the land of Gyeonggi. It seems that the arrival of the Jurchens was caused by Tang Ke alone.

Zhao Huan was also helpless, so he sacrificed the magic weapon of 'peace discussion' again, saying that he was willing to discuss with Jin Guo again, and explain the previous matter. However, the Song Dynasty did do things that violated the peace agreement and harmed others and benefited themselves, and the evidence was ironclad, and the handle was firmly grasped by others, which gave enough excuses for the invasion of the Jin people, so that the Jin people occupied a favorable position in the fight for public opinion. If before the war, there was still room for negotiation, but now it's like a fart, and the Jurchens don't like to deal with him!

If you want to talk to others, people don't like to deal with them, and the brothers can't be idle, it's really eight immortals who cross the sea to show their magical powers. Geng Nanzhong asked all the temples in Bianjing City to set up a dojo, and ordered all the monks to chant the "Sutra of Protecting the Country and Eliminating Soldiers" to eliminate the bait of the Jin army, but unfortunately Shakyamuni thought that he was temporarily holding on to the Buddha's feet and ignored him; Because the weather is very cold this year. Heavy snow fell repeatedly, and the soldiers were so cold that they couldn't hold their swords and guns. Emperor Zhao Huan knelt barefoot and single-clothed in the palace to worship the heavens, asking God to let the weather clear and the heavy snow stop. It's a pity that God is not his buddy, and the snow not only did not stop, but it fell heavier and heavier.

The new right minister He Su did not panic, still lived in poetry and wine, advocating fighting with the enemy, even if the killing outside the city was like thunder, and the Jurchens were attacking the city like waves, they still sat firmly on the Diaoyutai platform, and it seemed that there were millions of male soldiers in their chests. It's a pity that one day he drank too much in the capital. Hearing that the Jurchens asked for a river to be ruled, they actually sang: "You are allowed to ask for a price all over the sky, and I have to sit on the ground and pay back..."

It turned out that He Su thought that the Jin army had rushed thousands of miles to the city of Bianliang, and the siege would be blocked and the old soldiers would be tired, and as soon as the army of King Qin arrived, it would be logical to negotiate peace again, and he still had the idea of fighting peace in his eyes, and at this time he naively thought that it was war and peace, and the initiative was still in his hands... The Son of Heaven and Zaisuke were in danger when the country was in danger. It's so ridiculous, it can really make the Jurchens drop their jaws with laughter!

At this time, there were not no people in the city who dared to fight, but the fight was not very exciting, which made the Jurchens see the joke:

There is a Gyeonggi sentence in Bianjing. He has more than 60,000 armor guards under his command, in order to share the worries of the monarch and solve problems for the people. proposed that he lead 30,000 horses to stand alone outside the city, but was rejected by the officials. But he was not discouraged. One day, he personally led 5,000 people to gather outside the Chaoyang Gate to confront the Jurchens, and they may have been uncomfortable staring at them. The seven Jurchen cavalry suddenly rushed straight in front of their formation, and in an instant, five thousand armor guards threw their swords and guns and scattered!

On this day, the palace marshal Wang Zongwei didn't know which tendon was wrong, or wanted to show the majesty of the palace marshal, and sent thousands of elite soldiers to fight against the Jurchens, but in less than two rounds, the commander died in front of the battle, and the remnants of the army were defeated and returned to the city. One day, the general Fan Qiong suddenly opened the city gate and rushed to the Jin army who was busy under the city, the Jurchens did not expect that the Song army still dared to come out, and was disrupted for a while, but the Song army became more and more brave the more they fought, and chased after the moat.

At this time, a strange thing happened, because the weather was cold, the water in the moat had already formed a thick ice, and the Jurchens had been running around for several days, and there was no sign of freezing, but when they pursued with victory, there were a few 'Gaba' sounds, the ice collapsed, and hundreds of Song soldiers fell into the river!

The Song army who didn't fall into the river was so frightened that they turned around and ran, and the Jurchens who fled immediately turned around and faced the Song army who was struggling in the icy water. This defeat left a shadow among the Song army and the people, everyone was superstitious, the Jin army was free to travel on the ice, but the Song people would break the ice and fall into the water, so as to determine that God did not bless the Great Song!

The Jin army besieged the city for a long time, and Zhao Huan was so anxious that he went to the city to encourage the army. On another day, he personally inspected the city again, and a group of golden soldiers saw the umbrella cover on the city, and pointed at it and scolded in panic. The king humiliated the ministers to death, and the guards around him stopped doing it, so he asked the emperor to give an order to let them go down to the city to fight against this group of unsightly. Zhao Huan immediately ordered, summoned three hundred warriors to open the city and slaughtered the golden dogs, he thought that he personally supervised the battle, the soldiers must use their lives, and the victory was to hold the handle.

However, the result made him so ashamed that he wanted to jump from the top of the city, only to see the warriors out of the city, and the two men rushed up heroically, but the rest of the 'warriors' did not dare to step forward. It is estimated that the two of them also didn't notice that everyone took two steps back and put them in front. Zhao Huan saw clearly in the city, and immediately asked the soldiers in the city to shout to the people under the city, asking them to come forward and kill the enemy, but no one listened to them, and let the officials watch the two heroic soldiers being cut down in a pool of blood by the Jurchens!

Knowing that Bianjing was besieged by the Jurchen army, Hu Zhiru, the governor of the host province, also hurriedly brought troops to help, and led 10,000 Song soldiers from Ying Tianfu to Gongzhou, and started an encounter with the Jurchen soldiers. Where is the opponent of the Jin army, Hu Zhiru was defeated and captured, and the Jurchens took him to Bianjing City to show the public, and at the same time threatened that the reinforcements would not come again, even if they came, they would only be defeated and captured.

The Song army was defeated in successive battles, and the Qinwang army was defeated by the Jurchens, and the soldiers and civilians in the city were shocked and angry when they heard this, so they had to defend it strictly and wait for things to turn around. However, the Jin army knew the truth from the failures of the Song army again and again, the Song army was too cowardly and vulnerable, and thousands of people did not dare to go against seven people, which made people laugh and couldn't help but feel contempt! At this time, whether it was the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty or the Jurchens, they all knew that Bianjing City was in danger, and from then on, Zhao Heng only hoped to be able to stick to Bianjing, and he did not dare to easily agree to take risks for the request to take the initiative!

Wu Ge, who entered the king of Qin, suggested that the city should be under the wall, so that the Jurchens would not dare to attack at short range, and the roads between Bianjing and various places could be smooth, and the army of the king of Qinwang of the four directions could also reach the city smoothly. The Jurchens' instigation of the Song army has long been deep-rooted, and they will not be guarded, and they can regain the initiative and improve their morale by highlighting strange soldiers to build miraculous feats. When Zhao Heng heard this, where would he obey, now that self-protection is still insufficient, he took the initiative to attack rashly, isn't it self-destruction, and immediately vetoed it!

Uncle Zhang became a celebrity in front of Zhao Heng at this moment, and on the day he led the army to help, he was immediately promoted to the bachelor of Yankang Palace, the head of internal and external soldiers and horses, and immediately took He Su's wat head gold belt and rewarded him. In order to set up a benchmark for loyal ministers, and in order to inspire the division of the Quartet Qinwang, a few days later, Zhang Shuye was promoted to the Privy Council of Signatories and entered the military command department of the Great Song Dynasty to preside over military affairs.

Bianjing City was besieged this time, and Zhao Heng also realized that it was far more dangerous than last time, and he also pinned his hopes on Zhang Shuye, hoping that he could take on the responsibility of city defense like Li Gang. In fact, Zhang Shuye is not a military rookie, and has more military experience than Li Gang. When he first joined the army, he joined the army in Lanzhou in the northwest and presided over the construction of Xi'an Prefecture; He also sent an envoy to the Liao State, and defeated the Liao people than arrows; During his tenure as the prefect of Jinan, he exterminated bandits, and he was also a civil servant with both military theory and practical experience, although they were all small-scale battles, but they were also rare among the civil servants of the Song Dynasty!

Seeing that the Jurchens were attacking the city in a hurry, Uncle Zhang was also worried. Although he is the chief officer in charge of the overall military, he has encountered the same embarrassing position as Li Gang. Once, he convened the generals of the city to discuss how to cooperate in defending against the enemy, and invited Fan Qiong, Li Bao, Zhang Xian, Pei Yuan, Meng Zao, Wang Qiong, Zhi Yanzhi, He Zhonggang and other leaders of the forbidden army in the city and various soldiers and horses to attend the meeting in the morning.

However, until Venus fell in the west and Jade Rabbit rose in the east, there was no trace of these people, and the last one waited for the edict of the official family, asking Zhang Shuye whether he was determined to send troops to meet the enemy, and if there was such a plan, it was best to inform him in advance. Uncle Zhang understood at once, he couldn't help himself, these arrogant soldiers and fierce generals in the city didn't take him in their eyes at all, and no one was willing to listen to the dispatch, he was just a bare-bones commander.

Thinking that the official family couldn't look down on his ability, Zhang Shuye went to the table to resign, but Zhao Huan was not allowed, he would never let Zhang Shuye monopolize the military power, and he wanted to firmly control the military command in his own hands, the result was that Zhang Shuye had the name of moderation, and all the generals were only honoring the holy order, and they would never disobey the holy order because of Zhang Shuye.

Seeing that the Jin army was attacking the city urgently, Zhao Huan recruited four dead soldiers, sneaked out of the capital with a wax book secret letter, and issued a secret order to Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, who stayed in Xiangzhou: "Order Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, to be the generalissimo of Hebei soldiers and horses, Chen Yu to be the marshal, Zong Ze and Wang Boyan to be the deputy marshals, and to do the best of Hebei's soldiers and come to the rescue of the capital quickly." "But we still don't forget to manage the bulls and let them keep each other in check.

In fact, it is not surprising that Zhao Heng is like this, throughout the three hundred years of history of the Song Dynasty, in the wars with foreign races, the Song people rarely have the upper hand, and there are few examples of taking the initiative to attack and winning. The ancestors are like this, and the children and grandchildren are even more unscrupulous, and because of this, they have developed a sense of fear of war by sticking to the old ways and stealing peace. And Zhao Huan still didn't know how to be flexible at such a critical moment, and he could only push himself into the abyss step by step... (To be continued......)
