Section 228, Wanyan Zongwang died of anger
Also on the morning of April 6th, in the back hall of the prefect of Longde Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang sat in the middle, and the people sitting next to them were all from their own tribe, the atmosphere was very depressing, both of them arrived at Longde Mansion yesterday evening, Wanyan Zonghan took more than 40,000 Chinese troops and nearly 500 Song Dynasty royalties and high-ranking officials to run for a day, and then ran into Wanyan Lou, and retreated to Longde Mansion together, and soon after arriving, they saw more than 30,000 defeated troops of Wanyan Zongwang.
Early this morning, I began to gather the generals of my clan to discuss the battle situation together. Wanyan Zonghan spoke first:
"This failure is mainly due to the unclear enemy situation, the Han people are still unreliable, that Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai let him lay out the secret agent level in the Great Song Dynasty is too poor, and the only secret agent in Dongping Mansion said that Dongping is a people's husband, and even the regular army can't be distinguished, and it is not clear when Wu Song came back from the sea, and how he became the generalissimo does not even have a comprehensive report, it is clear that after taking out Guo Yaoshi's military power, he has opinions about us, and he does not work hard at all."
"The main responsibility this time lies with me, I believe in the Han people too much, it seems that we have to do it ourselves, this time we have lost 100,000 horses, although most of them are Yongsheng army, but, snort, snort," Wanyan Zongwang said and coughed incessantly. In the past 3 days, the Han emperor and concubines were tied to the horses and fled together, running from Huazhou to Shangdang, walking a lot of mountain roads, very tired, and in poor health.
"Two Lang masters, I think there are two main points, one is that the enemy situation is unknown, we are too light on the enemy, there are 200,000 troops behind Zong Ze, and there are 100,000 enemies in the mountainous area of Ruzhou, and the second is that the enemy has new weapons, iron eggs with *, the explosion is very terrible, our war horses will immediately jump and jump, and people within 2 zhang are directly killed and injured by the explosion, we must send people to master the manufacture and use of these weapons" Wan Yan Lou Room carefully analyzed, half of his hair turned white overnight last night, and he was particularly haggard today, It seems that he already knows the news of the death of Wanyan Huonu.
"Last year, I asked Guo Yaoshi to investigate who the 'Taihang Hero' was, but there is no news until now, and the grandmaster disappeared for more than half a year, and took over the 200,000 Northwest Army on the opposite side
"To treat the Han people, one hand is a leather whip, the other hand is grass, both hands must be grasped, and both hands must be hard," Wanyan Xiyi added
"Report, Lord Lang, Lord Lang (Wan Yan Gao)'s Thousand Miles of Feather Letter "A messenger ran in in a hurry, holding a letter with 3 feathers glued to it
"Take it" A pro-soldier immediately took the feather letter and handed it to Wan Yan Zonghan
"Why do you need 4 days to get here from Datong Mansion" Wanyan Zonghan first looked at the date and immediately asked:
"The little one, I went to Zhending Mansion first, found enemy soldiers, stayed for a day, and then returned to Taiyuan and rushed over"
"Get out" Yan Zonghan said and tore open the feather letter, after reading it, his hands trembled, his teeth clenched, and the deep wrinkles on his 47-year-old face were even more distorted,
"I'll take a look too, the cover is written on it, and it's not open," Wan Yan Zongwang looked at the envelope in Wan Yan Zonghan's hand and said.
"You're not in good health, don't look at it yet" Although Wanyan Zonghan doesn't want to see this cousin who is ten years younger, he has been competing with himself since he was a child and refuses to admit defeat, but he still cares about his body and often lets him.
"A letter can't scare me to death" Wanyan Zongwang stretched out his hand to grab the letter, looked at it and saw that his face suddenly changed, and suddenly covered his chest with his hand, and a mouthful of blood spurted out and fainted.
"Call Lang Zhong quickly," Yan Zonghan shouted. There was a lot of chaos in the house. A few Lang Zhong immediately tried their best to save people, and several generals in the Wanyan Lou room picked up the feather letter and began to read the letter together.
I only knew that the lord of Dalang Wan Yan Gao called the army to retreat north quickly, Huining Mansion was burned down by a group of people, the emperor and several little princes disappeared, 2 defense generals died at home, one was killed by shells, one was stoned to death by the house, Wanyan Zongwang's family was washed in blood, three sons and 2 big ones disappeared, and one was burned to death. The population of the entire city is not one out of ten, and the living people basically hide in the gutters and cellars to save their lives, and the living people say that the enemy is basically wearing clogs and holding swords, and the gate of the palace also has a sign that says, "My Daitoei samurai have visited here".
As soon as I finished reading the letter, I screamed angrily after finishing Yan Wushu, and suddenly found that Lang Zhong was kneeling on the ground and kowtowing, and stepped forward to touch his second brother's snort, but there was no response. Immediately, he pulled out a scimitar and put it on the neck of Lang Zhong, and shouted loudly:
"I'm here to let you heal, not to die."
"Minion, you really don't have the ability", before he finished speaking, a head flew up.
Soon, the order for the army to retreat quietly in batches began to be issued step by step, and Taiyuan Mansion was still in ruins, and it could not be defended at all, so it had to retreat to Datong Mansion.
On the morning of April 7, at the Military Aircraft Department of the Dongping Marshal's Mansion, Wu Song sat with Wang Yin and An Yaochen to talk about the military intelligence report.
"You have worked hard, the media bombardment has done a good job, along the way I saw that many counties have small newspaper boys selling newspapers along the street, and my fame has been blown to the sky by you."
"Where is there, the lord has won the award, I just move my mouth, or Wang Yin is the hardest" An Yaochen said,
"I don't feel comfortable reading the war report for a day, and now reading the war report is a kind of enjoyment, the latest war report: first Lin Chong led the team of Wuma Mountain, and blew up a section of the city wall of Zhending Mansion last night, 60,000 horses rushed into Zhending Mansion, which 3,000 Jurchens did not fight much and fled to Youzhou and Taiyuan with the remnants respectively, 8,000 Yongsheng troops were also dead and escaped, followed by Lu Junyi, the name of the first big gun in Hebei was effective, and 40,000 righteous troops were collected in just 3 days along the road, The scattered rebel army in Hejian Province immediately had the backbone, and now it has led 70,000 horses into Hejian Province.
Again, Luda, Yang Zhi's team and Zhang Suo, Wang Yan's team fused together to reach 70,000, has gone deep into Taihang Mountain, coerced Longde Mansion, the division of the knife quickly cut the mess, the township soldiers over 35 years old were directly cut, the brothers left one, there are 120,000 horses after cutting, north across the Yellow River, has been stationed in Zezhou, is also coercing Longde Mansion, and finally is just received a carrier pigeon news, it is not yet certain, our secret agents in Longde Mansion found that some of the avenue flags of the Jin Kingdom were torn white cloth strips, which important person in the Jin Kingdom died, I can't be sure, Jin Guo's brigade began to secretly retreat to Taiyuan "Wang Yin immediately reported the recent military situation,
Wu Song listened to the report and thought that it was because Wanyan Zongwang died a month earlier than in history, so he said:
"Tearing the white cloth on the Avenue Banner must be the death of a person at the level of a marshal and deputy marshal, regardless of them, there are 70,000 horses on Luda's side, first promote Luda to the Jiedu envoy, let them rely on the terrain to fight steadily, now we both have to rest, our military supply line is too long, and we must strengthen management in this regard"
Wu Song then said to An Yaochen:
"Look, military advisor, what should be the focus of our work next?"
"At present, a state of confrontation has formed in the war, and the next focus of our work is to fight a political war, and the lord must ascend the throne as soon as possible to complete our primary goal before we can continue the next stage of military work," An Yaochen said
"So what exactly should we do?" Wu Song asked
"Yue Fei has pulled all the remaining 30,000 forbidden troops in Beijing to Mutuogang to start reorganization, and secondly, we have to make a big noise for the lord in Beijing, and the third is to replace all the government officials in Tokyo with our Liangshan patrols, most of those government officials are the underworld, and the fourth is to let us Jinyi Wei stare at the remnants of Zhao Song's widows and young people in Beijing, I have to set off tomorrow to move to Beijing at the same time, Zhang San, Xiong Erhu to operate on the spot together, and I have to contact with the student representative Chen Dong, I have met twice before, and I have to take advantage of the situation, with the help of strength, we must complete the momentum building work of Zhao Song Chanrang"
"Then there is Lao Junshi who will go out in person, yes, what should I do if the Xie Ke family and Wei Yuan want to meet Zhao Gou?"
"Don't worry, little trick, I have arranged for them to meet in 7 days, there will definitely be no problems, and Zhao Gou in the cave should also come out next month."
