"Hehe, Lao Tzu has finally hit here, and there is no regret in dying!" Zhao Ta immediately looked at the towering city wall of Huining City on the high slope, touched his neck and said with a smile, he has been fighting for so many years just for this day.

"Your Majesty is healthy, how could such a thing happen!" Zhao Yongyan, who was accompanying the emperor, said.

"People will die eventually, and if I can fulfill my wish to rule the world, I will die a well-deserved death." Zhao Ta said disapprerovingly, although he has lived hard in the past few decades, he has also picked it up in vain, and if he can do something again, he will make money, and he is not satisfied.

"His Majesty Xià Zhongxing the Great Song Dynasty, and completed the great cause of unification, the name covers the ancient and modern, and it will definitely leave a name in history." Chen Yu also joked, but he was also sincere.

"Okay, no matter how much you praise me, I can't live a long life, but I want to live for a hundred years, and the one in the city will be stinking for 10,000 years!" Zhao Ta pointed at the city with a horsewhip and smiled.

"Your Majesty, let's go back, the alarm has sounded in the city, and the Jin soldiers have already discovered us." Gao Zhong saw the enemy army rushing back and forth at the head of the city, shouting, obviously the enemy army saw the emperor visiting the city, he was worried that something would happen and hurriedly persuaded.

"It's okay, you see that the Jin army has built a fort wall around the city, but the passage in it is very narrow, and it is extremely difficult to enter and exit, even if we use two legs to run, they can't catch up. But it's not easy for Yan Yan to run, I'm afraid that he will escape from the city in advance, otherwise it will be really difficult for him to catch him in the deep mountains and old forests. Zhao Ta waved his hand and said confidently.

"Yes, the people of the Jin Kingdom are simply dizzy and have built such a thing outside the city. While it can limit our attack surface, it also traps itself in it. That is, when the army of King Qin arrived, how did he enter the city. How to replenish grain and grass is simply a prison. Zhao Yong smiled.

"All we have to do is surround the city, and in less than three months we will starve them all to death." Zhao said.

"Your Majesty, I'm afraid it won't take more than three months, for for so many years, under our blockade and destruction, the economy of the Kingdom of Jin has been very difficult, and after losing the Central Plains, their food will be enough to fill their stomachs. The fields had just been sown during our northern expedition, and then they implemented a policy of rushing to harvest the forts, and destroyed all the crops in order to prevent us from getting food on the spot. Several state capitals with large grain reserves have also been captured by us, so they have no grain harvest this year, and no grain of rice has entered the treasury. Zhao Lian said, "But Huining City has a population of more than 300,000, and it can't be self-sufficient in self-produced food, it all depends on the supply of other counties and counties, and the accumulated grain alone will not exceed a month, even if the policy of bending chestnuts is adopted, it will not last long!" ”

"Alas. It seems that the Jurchens are also really in a hurry, and they are completely reckless, if they really have to dig the embankment, will not flood the entire area around Hoeryong. People can't get out, and food can't be transported in, and in the end, I'm afraid that people can only eat people. Gao Zhong sighed. This time, fortunately, after conquering Xiangzhou, the navy immediately went up the river and prevented the Jin army from breaking the embankment. Otherwise, they would not have been able to stand under the city of Huining.

"The fact that the Jurchens are so crazy also shows that they understand that it is the last moment, so they will fight to the death. The battle will probably be worse than all our previous battles. And their plan is to wait until the cold winter comes, so that God will force us to withdraw our troops to get a chance to breathe. Now it has entered August, and the snow here is flying in September, which is barely enough under careful calculation, and if the embankment is successfully broken, it will be frozen into solid ice at that time, and it will not be a problem. Zhao Ta thought for a while and said.

"Your Majesty, then we can prepare to attack the city, and strive to enter Huining City for the winter before the cold winter comes." Zhao Yong said.

"Don't forget that the trapped beast is still fighting, and a bite back before dying is also three points into the bone, our warriors fought all the way here, it would be a pity if they died on the eve of victory." Zhao Ta shook his head and said, "Now that the armies have been fighting continuously for more than a month, they should also take a good rest and recuperate, and then make plans after recuperating their strength." ”……

…………

At this time, the Song army met with more than 200,000 soldiers, Zhao Ta ordered to leave the city three miles away from the village to surround the city, and the camp was stationed in the palace of the Golden Emperor ten miles south of the city. And now the weather is getting colder, the water level of the river is dropping, he ordered to hurry up the time to rush to transport grain and grass, and then ordered the navy to load the captured booty and the wounded and sick to return to China. At the same time, the besieging Song army also cut down wood and built a village, rammed earth as a wall, and built houses, as if they wanted to settle here.

"Your Majesty, the Jin State sent an envoy to sue for peace, should we continue to negotiate peace with it?" Now Zhao Tan really regarded this place as his home, and he made a punctual and early court every day, while the civil and military ministers who accompanied him formed a temporary small court to deal with the matters sent from the country that required him to make decisions and discuss the current war.

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that there is no point in talking about peace at this time, and there is no need to talk to them anymore, right?" Zhao Yong felt very funny, now that the Song army has hit their doorstep, I will withdraw from the army if you say a few words, isn't this a joke!

"The minister also thought that there was no need to talk about it again, and when we hit Jinzhou, they asked them to cede Jinzhou, but the Jurchens refused to agree; Then they hit Liaoyang Mansion, they promised to cede Jinzhou, but we asked to cede Liaoyang Mansion, but they refused; This time they must have agreed to cede Liaoyang Mansion, and His Majesty must have asked for the cession of Huining Mansion, how could they agree, this is already their old nest, what good is it to talk about it? Ma Kuo spread his hand and said, and his words caused everyone in the temple to laugh.

"Your Majesty, Master Ma is right, negotiating peace is nothing more than bargaining, how many coins to give in a year, and how much land to cede in a year. Now there is only the land of Huining City left in the Jin Kingdom, that is, how many age coins can be given by scraping the ground, and where will the year coins come from after that, you can't let Your Majesty Xingbing ask for it! Zhao Zhi also said, he understands very well, the emperor is no longer the little prince who had to be careful with every money spent in Xiangyi, and now the GDP of the Great Song Dynasty is hundreds of millions of guan, and the Jin country is already so poor that it is difficult to get together 500,000 yuan a year, and the emperor can't see this money.

"You're all wrong, you have to talk about it." Zhao Ta smiled and said, "You must know that no one in this world wants to die, and no one hates war, especially at this time, they are most eager for the war to be extinguished early, and those Jurchens in the city will have illusions of peace, so the war readiness will be relaxed." ”

"Your Majesty, what are the terms of our peace talks?" Chen Yu's face twitched and Shi Li praised, the emperor is really bad, and he is still making fun of these poor people at this time.

"I still need to ask me, what conditions were offered by the Jurchens when they arrived in Bianjing City, can't you just find them out and change them!" Zhao Ta said impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Yu replied loudly, and his opinion of the emperor rose to a higher level, saying that the emperor was benevolent and generous, but today it seems that he has always remembered his grudge, but he likes it.

"Your Majesty, the Khitans of the Liaodong Civil Rebellion have already surrendered under our suppression and appeasement, but recently some Khitans have rebelled and marched to Huining Mansion under the banner of 'recovering Liao Baojin'." Shang Hu, the military intelligence department, said again.

"Oh, and that kind of thing? This is a bit strange, they revolted against the tyranny of the Jurchens, and now they are raising troops to rescue, and the reason for this can be discerned. Zhao Ta touched his chin and said.

"Your Majesty, after the subordinates got the report, they sent people to investigate, and there were envoys from the Jin State who came in and out of it, but it is rare to know what they talked about." Shang Hu replied.

"That's it, it must be that the Jin State promised a heavy bribe, or promised that they could restore the country, and this condition is something that my dynasty can't agree, so they will help the Jurchens." Chen Yu immediately figured out the joints and spoke.

"Well, the right phase analysis is reasonable, the Jurchen clan has been fighting against the Liao for many years, and the population has decreased sharply for many years, and they can only strengthen themselves by annexing other tribes, and even then the population is less than one million. The Khitans became the main force of the conquest after the destruction of the country, and this time it was precisely because of the excessive conquest that the Khitan people rebelled, and some of them wanted to take advantage of this to restore the country, so the conditions offered by the Jurchens really made them unable to refuse, and the Jurchens lost Liaodong but kept the country, and it was not a loss for them. Zhao Li nodded in agreement.

"If the Jurchens really promise to let the Khitan return to the country, it is not good, now there are a large number of Khitans in the northwest and Liaodong, and even in the Yanjing region, if they join forces to rebel, it will cause a catastrophe, and we have to divide our troops to suppress it, the Jurchens are vicious enough." Gao Pet also said with some concern.

"Your Majesty, it's better for us to storm Huining City first and destroy the Jurchens, then there is no way to talk about the conditions they promised the Khitans, and we can also wave our troops to suppress them." Zhao Yongyan said.

"We can't just rely on force to deal with the Khitans, once we completely turn against them, not only the Khitans in the northwest and eastern Liaodong will be enemies with us, but the western Liao will also take advantage of the chaos to intervene, and then the entire northwest will fall into chaos again, and our dynasty will fall into a situation of constant border troubles, so we must mainly appease them." Chen Yu was not very in favor of settling the Khitans by force.

"Erwa, you immediately lead the guards to attack the head city of the five countries, and bring Yelu Yanxi back alive for me, remember that it is alive!" Zhao Ta suddenly stood up and said to Lei Zhenshan, the commander of the guards beside him.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The second baby didn't ask why at all, and agreed to leave with an order.

"Yelu Yanxi?! Is Majesty going to draw a salary from the bottom of the kettle? Chen Yu exclaimed, and suddenly remembered that this Liao Emperor was still in the Jin Kingdom, how could the Khitans not have him under the banner of recovering the country, although that bastard, but after all, he was orthodox. And the Jurchens will definitely accuse him to coerce the Khitans to obey orders, and they will take the initiative if they preemptively control Yelu Yanxi, and those Khitans who even have ghosts in their hearts will greatly weaken their appeal.

"Your Majesty's clever plan, so that the Khitans can fall apart!" Zhao Yong couldn't help but praise...... (To be continued......)
