Outside Bianliang City, 30,000 kinds of family monarchs and 5,000 Jurchen iron cavalry had a fierce battle, and finally the Jurchen iron cavalry took the initiative to retreat.

The scale of this battle was very small, whether it was in terms of the number of participants, the time of the battle, or the number of people killed, it was very ordinary. After all, since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, whether it was the Northern Expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty, or the Northern Expedition to the Khitan, or the fierce battle against the Western Xia, or the pacification of Fangla, or the recovery of Liaodong Dark, it was not a big showdown of tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or even four or five hundred thousand.

With more than 30,000 battles, it can only be a medium-sized battle.

Even if the Song army guarded the Yellow River at the beginning, it also touched 100,000 soldiers and horses to defend the Jin army from crossing the river.

Since the Jin army invaded the south, it can be said that each battle has been more than 100,000 people, and the scale has become larger and larger, but the results have become more and more dismal. The saddest thing is that there are 200,000 troops in Bianliang City, with sufficient weapons and a lot of silver, but they are like rats, cowering in the tall city and not daring to attack. On the contrary, the Jin army attacked the city several times in a row, and the city gate was almost lost several times.

Since the Jin army invaded the south, it has not achieved a major victory, but has been defeated more and more fiercely. The speed at which the city is lost is getting faster and faster. Sometimes, just 500 cavalry of the Golden Army can capture a large city with a population of 100,000.

Repeated defeats have affected the changes in the court situation, affecting the mentality of the people of the War of Resistance, down to the people, up to the emperor, all of them are filled with disappointment and fear. The barbarians who used to be dismissive have become flood beasts, and they don't need to fight, which makes people fearful.

By this moment of the battle, the Song army had already been defeated.

This was the common view of the officials, scholars, and the common people, and that peace was inevitable, and that the Song Dynasty was about to sign a treaty that was even more harsh than the alliance between the Song Dynasty.

Even the hardest, most gold-resistant Master Li Gang thinks so.

The only difference between the anti-gold faction and the Yihe faction is that the anti-gold faction wants to sign a "reduced version of the Yuanyuan Alliance", while the Yihe faction wants to sign a "super version of the Yuanyuan Alliance". Li Gang was bent on being the prime minister, while the Yihe faction was bent on being Sima Guang, and Song Qinzong was bent on being Song Zhenzong, and once again staged a counterattack by the Lanyuan Alliance.

Back then, after repelling the Liao army, when he signed a peace treaty, didn't he give a large number of coins to the Liao State! As long as the land in Hebei and Shanxi is not ceded, it is still acceptable to lose some years of coins;

Back then, the famous minister Sima Guang didn't cede the four cities of rice and fat that Emperor Shenzong had worked so hard to build to Western Xia! Anyway, it's not the first time, and there is nothing remarkable about ceding the land north of the Yellow River. The four cities of Mizhi and the three towns of the Yellow River are just two words of difference.

Song Qinzong hoped that the luck of the ancestor Emperor Zhenzong would be staged again, and the Jin army would retreat with New Year's coins.

At the top level of the Song Dynasty, it has always been believed that peace is inevitable, and only peace can be withdrawn, and since the enemy is not retreated, only money can be bribed to leave. The difference is the cost of bribery, how big it is, and where is the bottom line. The anti-gold faction led by Li Gang is the most radical, the most utopian, and the most unrealistic; The claims of Li Bangyan, Zhang Bangchang and others are the most shameless, the most bottomless, and the most realistic; And Song Qinzong was indecisive, and he didn't know which step to take, with a hammer in the east and a stick in the west, his thoughts were contradictory and entangled.

Only those students shouted slogans in unison, firmly saying that they would never sign the city, and even said that they would rather slaughter the city than sign the contract. Completely ignoring the comparison of strength between the two sides, they don't care about the specific battlefield situation. Anyway, the cession of land is the cession of the land of the official's family, the loss of money is the loss of the official's money, and the relatives are the women of the official's family, even if hundreds of thousands of soldiers die outside, they are still sleeping flowers and willows, and the red sleeves are fragrant, what does it matter to me, but anyway, it is not allowed to sign the alliance under the city.

The Song Dynasty did not kill scholars and doctors, and the students could naturally abuse and talk at will, which was also the best opportunity to earn political capital.

The imperial examination is to cross a single-plank bridge with thousands of troops. There are still a few titles on the gold list, and most of them are named Sun Shan. Relying on the study of the road, it is almost walking the Shu road, the difficulty of the Shu road, it is difficult to go to the blue sky.

Only when the sword goes off the rails can we fight a broad road.

Scolding Cai Jing can earn fame, scolding Tong Guan can also earn fame, opposing the alliance under the city, showing the upright backbone of the reader, and it is also a means to earn fame. As long as you have a reputation, the road to official career will be much easier. Anyway, they are not state officials, they don't need to worry about everything, they just need to open their mouths and speak, and they don't have to be responsible for making mistakes.

And in their bones, these students also think that they can't beat it, and it is reasonable to discuss peace. Back then, the Liao State could not be defeated, and peace was negotiated; Later, he couldn't defeat Western Xia, and negotiated peace again. If it weren't for Di Qingping's annihilation of Nong Supreme, maybe peace would have been negotiated again. Now that the Jin army has reached Bianliang, although it is a bit embarrassing to sign an alliance under the city, it is still necessary to negotiate peace in the end. There is nothing strange about negotiating peace.

Under this ambivalence, the students scolded the traitors and shouted that they would not sign the alliance under the city, while transferring their family property and trying to run away.

No one in Bianliang would think that the Jin army could be defeated, even if those Qin Wang's divisions came. The arrival of King Qin's division is only conducive to reducing some harsh terms in the peace treaty.

Under such circumstances, the battle broke out, and the reinforced Western army and the Jin army collided violently, shouting and killing to the sky, the war drums rumbled, and the murderous spirit was washed away. Even if it is dozens of miles away, it is clearly visible. The people in Bianliang City were in panic, witnessing the fight. Although the distance is very far, it is impossible to see the winner or loser, but everyone's mind is entangled.

And in the city, those officers and soldiers were also shocked, excited, and afraid. I hope to participate in this battle and fight the gold thief, but I am afraid of the combat power of the Jin army.

And the officials in the city also immediately had different thoughts.

"The division of King Qin arrived, and dozens of miles away, it was blocked by the Renjin army!" When Li Gang heard the news, he immediately became excited. He was a scholar and had never commanded a large army in battle, so it can be said that he had zero command experience. But there is no way but to catch the ducks on the shelves.

Those generals of the forbidden army were either born in the ya, or relied on the favor of their ancestors, or came to buy officials, or came with beards and horses. It's okay to fight and fight on weekdays, lead chickens and dogs, and bully the common people, but if it's a big fight, it's almost all about wetting your pants. In fact, at the moment when Bianliang was besieged, those forbidden generals disappeared like rats and could no longer be found. didn't seem to care at all about Song Lu's punishment of deserters.

In fact, they really don't care, the law does not blame the public, the officials can cut off the heads of the "six thieves", but they can't touch them, because there are too many people and the implication is too wide.

Under such circumstances, as a scholar, he had no choice but to become the commander of the Bianliang garrison. At the beginning of his tenure, he also sweated. After all, marching and fighting is not about writing poems and paintings, not about filling in words and making couplets, but about fighting and dying. It can only be commanded to defend the city according to the command of the battle in the books, the war on paper, and the vulgar and empty theory.

Fortunately, Marshal Jin Jun is not in vain, and he is not Zhao Kuo, although his command art is a little clumsy, but with a huge army base, he still resisted wave after wave of attacks. Several times, the Jin army climbed to the top of the city, almost missed, and at this time, relying on the spirit of blood and bravery, it was dangerous to defend the city.

During these days, Li Gang was nervous, scared, and panicked, the pressure was unprecedentedly huge, he lost weight several times, the hair on his head was much whiter, and his heart was almost broken. However, the situation still did not improve, but worsened, and King Qin's army stopped at the periphery of Bianliang and was unable to help. Food in the city became more and more scarce, prices skyrocketed, and the people were miserable. The voice of peace negotiation is getting louder and louder, and among the four treaties, the officials resolutely oppose the original land cession. But now, the official's mind has been shaken, and it is no longer so firm. Coupled with the attacks of political opponents, he was unprecedentedly isolated.

"Quick, I'm going to meet the official's family!" Li Gang said excitedly, while doing it in the sedan chair, he thought quickly, and a battle plan was quickly brewed.

Soon arrived at the palace and met Song Qinzong. After that, some ministers also arrived one after another. These are the descendants of Song Qinzong, and the loyal ministers personally promoted are the decision-making class of the Northern Song Dynasty.

Although the political views are not very good, some resist Jin, and some surrender, but the common point is that both sides are very haggard.

The Jin army coerced Bianliang, although they had different thoughts and the same methods, they didn't want the Jin army to enter Bianliang. Once the Jin army enters the city, they will be the ministers of the lost country, and they will be able to wield the power they have now. Even if he surrenders, he is still a second minister, not only will his reputation be damaged, but he may even leave an infamy in the history books. And the courtiers who surrendered were rarely reused, and most of them were shelved away from authority.

How can a great husband have no power!

All of you here have different thoughts, some are afraid of the Jin Army, some are flattering to the Jin Army, some are fornicating with the Jin Army, and some are compromising and surrendering, but they all have a clear banner and do not want the Jin Army to break the city.

"Li Qing, the reinforcements outside the city are fighting fiercely with the gold thieves, I don't know what to do?" Song Qinzong opened his mouth and smelled Li Gang.

"Official, naturally it is rescue!" Li Gang said firmly, "Now that the division of King Qin, he has come hard, so he naturally wants to send a team of men and horses to rescue!" ”

"No, no!" Li Bangyan immediately stopped him, "The Jin army is strong, and the defenders in the city are insufficient, if another army is sent to help, the city will be even more empty." If the Jin army takes the opportunity to attack the city, Bianliang is in danger! ”

"If you sit back and watch the reinforcements be destroyed, who will come to the rescue of Bianliang at that time, and Bianliang will become a real lonely city at that time!" Li Gang argued fiercely.

"Official, don't fall for the Jin Army's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain!" Li Bangyan said again, "As long as our army holds Bianliang without losing, the Jin army and horses are in difficulty, coupled with the lack of food and grass, and the soldiers are tired, they will inevitably leave." ”

"How long does it take to wait, three months, five months, or half a year, when there is no need for the Jin army to attack, Bianliang will collapse. Today's Bianliang is already short of grain and grass, and after a few months, it can only be eaten by Yizi at that time! Li Gang said resentfully. Waiting for the Jin army to retreat seems to be the safest, but it is also the most dangerous, which is tantamount to giving up the initiative to the enemy.

"Do you want to take the initiative? With the weakness of our army, against the tiger and wolf of the Jin army, Master Li doesn't know what chance he has of winning! ”

There was a violent quarrel again in the hall, and the noise continued, and the two sides insisted on their own words, and they did not give in to each other.

Song Qinzong's mood suddenly became irritable, these days, the biggest thing he heard was noisy and old, and his ears were all messed up. Just as he was about to slap the table and get angry, a eunuch's voice came, "Official, good thing, good thing, big good thing!" ”

"Panic what!" Song Qinzong's face was full of anger.

However, this eunuch did not panic at all, but said with a happy face: "Official, great joy! The old general of the seed master Dao led the Western Army to defeat the Jin Army, a great victory! Great victory! ”
