On the tenth day of the ninth month, on the day of Wushu's death, the first snow fell in Ningcheng, and it still fluttered in the early morning, dyeing the war-soaked earth into a snow-white patch. =Top=Point=Small-Said that Zhao Ta did not feel excited when he heard the news of the death of the vulture, but was a little sad. He pushed the door and walked out of the dormitory, Zhao Xin hurriedly took two steps to put him on a big coat, and saw that he beckoned a few internal guards to follow, but told them not to follow too closely, he knew that the emperor was not in a good mood at the moment, so it was good for him to clean himself.

"Second master, Wushu is the biggest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, your mortal enemy, and now that he is dead, why doesn't Your Majesty like it?" Zhao Xin asked as he followed the emperor's footsteps.

"It's been a long time since I've heard you call the second master!" Zhao Ta walked to an open place, turned his face to look at Zhao Xin and chuckled, but did not answer her words.

"In the past, I felt that calling the second master felt smooth and kind, but now the second master's authority is becoming more and more powerful, and the people around me also feel that it is too rude to call it as in the past, and they slowly forget the kindness of the past." Zhao Xin said.

"And what do you think of this snow?" Zhao Ta stretched out his hand to catch a few falling snowflakes and put them in front of Zhao Xin's eyes and asked.

"Well, my favorite day is snow, and the white expanse is refreshing." Zhao Xin nodded and said, but he felt that the emperor was weird.

"But some people find the snow annoying, so the caravan will be forced to stay on the way, and the homeless will have to endure the cold, for which the snow is a disaster." Zhao Ta said with a sigh.

"Second Master...... Is the second master sad for the vulture? Zhao Xin somewhat understood what the emperor's words meant, and asked softly.

"I don't know, I can't tell!" Zhao Ta shook his head and said. "In the past, I always regarded the Vulture as a fierce opponent, and I wanted to get rid of it as soon as possible. But when he heard the news of his death, he was not happy, but a little lost. I feel a little lost.

"Second master, you are a hero who cherishes each other!" Zhao Xin said that she knew that the reason why Jin Guo was able to support it until now was actually all maintained by the strength of the Wushu.

After the destruction of the Liao State, the Jin State became the largest enemy of the Great Song Dynasty in the world. The emperor is also very aware of this matter, so all his actions are aimed at the Jin State, that is, against the Wushu, so that he regards the Wushu as his enemy, but he does not know that he actually regards him as an opponent in his heart. The only person in this world who can be an opponent. The two have been fighting for so many years, and now that Wushu has finally died under the conspiracy of the emperor, it naturally makes him feel that this world has suddenly become boring.

"Is he a hero, am I a hero?" Zhao Ta pursed the corners of his mouth and said with a slight smile.

"Of course, isn't this what the second master means by using snow as a metaphor? The two armies are at war, each with its own master. Wushu worked hard for the Jin State and fought in all directions, so that the Jin Kingdom was able to maintain more than 20 years under the pressure of our Great Song Dynasty, and can be called a hero among the Jurchens. But they must also be wicked in our eyes; In the same way, the second master expelled the Jurchens, recovered Yanyun, eliminated the maladministration, and Weifu Quartet. made the Great Song Dynasty prosperous, and now the Northern Expedition to the Jurchens, of course, is the hero in the hearts of our Great Song people. But you attacked the city and plundered the land all the way, killing and injuring countless Jurchens. Of course, it's the devil in their eyes! Zhao Xin glanced at the emperor and said, he understood that the emperor actually understood it very well in his heart. But it is difficult to get rid of the sorrow in my heart, so I am depressed.

"Yes, each for his own master, what is right or wrong, these are left to future generations to comment, but now the hero is lonely!" Zhao Ta held Zhao Xin's hand and said leisurely, he understood that as soon as Wushu died, it was equivalent to the loss of the last pillar of the Jin Kingdom, and at the same time, his death also made the Jin State lose the big man who could suppress the field, which would inevitably make those with bad intentions unscrupulously compete for the vacant power, so that in this situation, civil strife is equivalent to the destruction of the country, and he has lost the goal of fighting for many years and lost his direction.

"The second master used tricks to kill his popularity, and now he still talks about the wind and cold." Zhao Xin said with a smile.

"Alas, this one complains that he has been in a high position for a long time and has a big temper, he can't rub the sand in his eyes, and he can't stand it if he is idle, but he can kill himself alive and lose his hero!" Zhao Ta shook his head and sighed.

"In my opinion, Wushu is blessed to die at this time, no longer have to endure the torment of illness, no longer have to work for this ruined country, at least he doesn't have to kneel at the feet of the second master, it must be more painful than death for him!" Zhao Xin teased.

"Am I as bad as you say?" Zhao Ta gritted his teeth and said as if he wanted to eat people.

"Of course, the second master has repeatedly used tricks against a man who is about to die, inciting the people to besiege an old minister who has made many meritorious contributions to the country, so that Emperor Jin has murderous intentions towards his uncle who has been helping him...... "Zhao Xin revealed the emperor's old bottom like a cannon.

"I'm so angry, as a subordinate, you dare to commit a crime, a wife who dares to accuse her husband, and a son of the country who dares to slander the king, see me apply family law to you as an example!" Zhao Ta was 'annoyed and angry' and said a tiger pounce to take Zhao Xin into his arms, but he didn't expect her to escape flexibly, and how could he let it go, screaming and chasing after him, startling the internal guards who followed him......

…………

By the end of September, the Song army had completed the preparations for the siege again, but at this time, the food in Huining City had run out, the soldiers killed horses for food, and the people could only peel the bark of trees, dig grass roots, saddles, leather armor, and all the items that could satisfy the stomach were cooked and filled into the stomach, and some people even began to steal human flesh, but no one went to do more, because everyone understood that it would not take long for the Song army to attack the city, and they would starve to death.

Wushu finally swallowed his breath, but Wan Yan Yan did not feel relaxed, but felt even more panicked, and he realized that the Taishi who was 'forced to die' by himself was his biggest backer. But the life-saving straws that have been waiting for all walks of life are still nowhere to be heard, and Kexi is flickering, Zong Qiang is perfunctory, Zhang Hao is supporting, Servant Zhong is silent, Zong Xiong and others are missing, and there is no reliable person around him.

"Why is it so noisy out there?" Wan Yan, who was already half-drunk, asked loudly, and in desperation, he picked up the wine glass that had been neglected for a long time again, looking for comfort in the glass, but the noise outside the hall disturbed his Yaxing, and he couldn't help but be angry.

"Your Majesty, it seems that the army of the Southern Dynasty is shelling the northern city!" Hearing that the emperor was exercising power again, an attendant ran in in a panic and said.

"Huh?! Drive the Wuyun Tower! After listening to the wine, he sobered up and commanded.

Wuyun Building is five storeys high, is a huge and magnificent building, two years ago Yan Yan was specially built for banquet and drink. It is the tallest building in the city. Wan Yan Yan climbed to the top floor and looked north, and the sparse cannon sound was no longer distinguishable at this moment. The northern city has been shrouded in gunpowder smoke and firelight, and countless soldiers and civilians on and below the city are running and hiding from the artillery fire. From time to time, people fell under artillery fire, while more people flocked to the southern city.

"Why don't you fight back against the Song army?" Wan Yan Yan didn't see his own trebuchet firing a bullet, and hurriedly asked.

"Your Majesty, the north of the city is the old subordinate of Sahelin, and if you don't listen to the command of Zuo Dushuai, it will collapse after the cannon fires." An attendant said.

"Immediately order the right commander to go to Beicheng, and you must prevent the Song army from ascending the city." Only then did Yan Yan remember that in order to overhead the vultures, he first seized the military power of Su Shi Lie Zhining and separated him from his belongings. Under house arrest in the imperial city, but Kexi can't control the scene at all.

"Your Majesty, last night the Tiger and Leopard Army robbed the people in the city, killing and injuring many people, and the right commander who was patrolling the city led the troops to suppress it, and clashed with the Tiger and Leopard Army, and the right commander was injured by a hidden arrow and fell unconscious......" The chamberlain whispered and took two steps back, worried that the emperor would burst out and kill people in anger.

"If something so big happened, why didn't you tell me?" Wan Yan was shocked.

"Right...... The right commander said that there is no need to alarm His Majesty for such a trivial matter. Don't let us tell you. The chamberlain said with a panicked face.

"What?! This is also a trivial matter......" Wan Yan shouted, the important minister of the state was killed and injured by the rebels, and the inner servant did not dare to tell him just because of a happy sentence, which seemed extremely inappropriate.

"Your Majesty. Today, the Song army concentrated 1,000 artillery pieces to attack the northern city, and the city tower, corner tower and urn city were all destroyed, and the left commander was unable to command. led to the weakness of the counterattack, and the city was broken. He fled in battle, and the soldiers defending the city were in danger of collapsing without a leader. Your Majesty is invited to make a decision as soon as possible. At this time, Wang Hao also hurriedly went upstairs to pray.

"It's good that this horseman actually escaped from the battle...... Wan Yan said through gritted teeth, these days he boasted that he could repel the Song army in a few days, so he granted him the right to fight, but in exchange for such a result.

"Your Majesty, the top priority is to send people to the city as soon as possible to block the enemy army, and the rest will be discussed later." Zhang Hao saw that the emperor was going off topic again, so he hurriedly reminded.

"Who does Zuo Xiang think he should send?" Wan Yan is already a master of the six gods, and in the past, these were naturally worried about the Taishi, and he just showed his face to show his 'determination' to live and die with the people, and the facts also proved that it was better to send a pig to fight to let him lead the troops.

"Your Majesty, it is better to send Sahelin to Beicheng as soon as possible, and it is the best policy to dispatch the whole army." Zhang Hao said urgently.

"This ...... Let me think about it! After Yan Yan thought about it, he was really the only one left with the available generals in the court, but he forced his father-in-law to death, and once he regained military power, it would not be good if it was not good for him.

"Your Majesty, Sa Helin is an upright person, and he will never be public because of private expenses, but he still has to focus on the overall situation." Seeing that the emperor was still hesitating, Zhang Hao knew the emperor's thoughts, and recommended again.

"Your Majesty, the northern city has been opened by the Song army's artillery fire in two places, and the enemy army is about to enter the city." At this moment, another chamberlain trotted in to report the latest military situation.

"Okay, pass on my message, with Su Shi Lie Zhining as the privy envoy, immediately lead the troops to Beicheng and repel the Song army." Wan Yan looked out the window, only to see that the northern city had become a mess, and the mournful shouts of the city could be faintly heard, and he gave an order helplessly......

When Su Shi Lie Zhining arrived in Beicheng, the situation was extremely critical. Under the cover of artillery fire, the Song army dug tunnels under the city, and then planted a large amount of gunpowder to blow up five gaps in the city wall, and the soldiers defending the city and Ding Zhuang who assisted in defending the city were killed and wounded, and most of them fled. But Zhining had no way to retreat, he gathered the remnants of the army he encountered on the way, intercepted the deserters and Ding Zhuang, and some people volunteered to join the ranks of the counterattack, but the organization was only more than 10,000 people.

Even so, Zhining did not hesitate to lead this group of rabble to quickly launch a counterattack against the Song army, trying to block the breakthrough and regain control of the city wall. Will not be afraid of death, what is the soldier afraid of, the soldiers followed him to launch a wave of more ferocious charges, and once repelled the Song army that landed in the city. But the good times did not last long, as the Song army broke through from many roads, and the reinforcements were delayed, Zhining could only support the crisis alone, resisting and retreating to the city to start a street battle with the Song army.

By the afternoon, the Song army had completely controlled the walls of the northern city, and Zhining led less than 2,000 remnants of the army to retreat to the southwest corner of the city. After the persuasion is ineffective. After a burst of heavy artillery fire, the Song army launched a general attack. Zhining, who was waiting for reinforcements to arrive, knew that his last moment was coming, and personally led the army to launch a final counterattack. In the blink of an eye, it was overwhelmed by the dense rain of bullets fired by the Song army, and none of the rest of the soldiers, Ding Zhuang, retreated. Still charging forward until the whole army is annihilated. With his death, he showed the last of the Jurchens' spirit, and with its fall, the northern city of Huining City all fell, leaving only the southern city separated by a moat......

Beicheng was lost, Sushi Lie Zhining was killed in battle, and Fusan Zhongyi was seriously injured, Wan Yan finally realized that the defeat of the Jin Kingdom was irreparable, but when he wanted to leave again, he found that there was no possibility. The last elite of the Jin army has almost been consumed in the defense of the city, and there is no strength to break through the increasingly tight encirclement of the Song army, and there are only two ways to go: surrender and death. The next day, Wan Yan held a court meeting to discuss how to deal with the current situation, but the hundred officials were silent and had no ideas. Everyone understands that the Jin Kingdom has reached the point of exhaustion, and now it is just a matter of surviving, and living one day at a time counts as a day.

But some people don't think so, but they find that the opportunity to realize their dreams has arrived. He has had great ambitions since childhood. hopes to ascend to the throne one day, but his father is a stepmother, and he has no ability, so he can only be an idle prince. And without a backer, he was sent to a remote place in eastern Liaodong to conquer the Five Kingdoms when he became an adult, and he thought that his talent would be buried and he would die in this poor mountain and remote land. There is no chance of getting ahead.

Unexpectedly, when the Song army was disheartened, the Song army marched to the north to the city. The emperor issued the edict of King Qin, which gave him an opportunity to make a contribution. Therefore, Kexi did everything he had to go to King Qin at any cost, hoping to catch this pie falling from the sky. Although he suffered a lot and died a lot on the way, when he entered the city and was rewarded by the emperor, he felt that everything was worth it.

As an outsider, Kexi wanted to keep a low profile at first, but then because of the rumors about Taishi's vultures, he was pushed to the forefront again, and the emperor tried his best to win him over in order to deal with Taishi, so that he controlled the military power. But he was very sober at this time, his foundation in Beijing was too shallow, and the strength he really controlled in his hands was only the thousands of tigers and leopards brought from the speed and frequency road. Therefore, there can be no rash action, just wait and see the changes in the whole situation and the progress of the situation, but it is gratifying that he has also found his incompetence from the emperor's various actions.

The subsequent development of the situation made Kexi realize that he had the ability and opportunity to change the fate of himself and Dajinguo. First of all, the most frightening Taishi Wushu died in the curse sound inside and outside, and the seemingly calm court was actually an undercurrent, everyone was looking for a new backer, and the upstart Kexi naturally became the preferred target, and many people began to take the initiative to show their loyalty, so he quietly accepted all the orders. And the next unexpected conflict seriously injured the servant and Zhongyi, so that Kexi removed the biggest stumbling block in his way to ascent, and Zhining's death was able to become the actual controller of the army.

Now that the opportunity has appeared, of course, we must grasp it firmly! After the Great Pilgrimage, Kexi decided that the time was ripe, and he decided to make his dream come true. It was another month of sparse stars and a bitterly cold night, but it was gratifying to mobilize the tiger and leopard army to control the palace city, and personally led a team of men and horses to kill the left prime minister Zhang Hao's family first. followed by Taibao Zongmin, Taifu Zongxiong, and even the dead Taishi Wushu family did not let go.

The city of Huining once again experienced an internal strife and bloodshed, the emperor was imprisoned in Wuyun Tower, the prime minister was killed, and all the hundreds of officials under him who were happy to think that they were a threat to themselves were all eliminated, and when the morning dawned he had already controlled the southern city of Huining and the imperial city, and controlled the imperial court. He proclaimed himself the king of Liao, Taishi, Taibao, and Taifu three dukes in one, both the left minister, the internal and external commanders, in and out of the imperial chariot, called his wife a concubine, his father Zong Qiang was a great Zongzheng, and his younger brother Wan Yan Shuang was the right minister and comprehended Ningfu Yin.

Of course, the meritorious heroes will not forget, there are rewards, so that even the little centurion in the tiger and leopard army has been named the left and right guard generals, but there is a gratifying thing to enter the house and monopolize the power, and its arrogant and domineering rapid momentum has caught up with the vultures of the year. In the face of the sudden bloody conflict in the city, the civil and military officials and ordinary people who have become accustomed to it seem to have become insensitive, and have not shown too much concern, now that the bark and grass roots in the city have been eaten, and they are about to starve to death, who cares who is in power, let it be fate. Everyone seems to have entrusted their fate to the gratifying!

It is good to have become a powerful minister above 10,000 people under one person, but he also understands that he has a handful of stinky cards left in his hand, with half of the Huining City, 20,000 remnants of the army, a group of bark, grass roots are almost out of food The people can't turn over the plate anyway, the only thing he can do is to fully accept the conditions proposed by the Southern Dynasty, pay compensation, cut the land, and call the minister.

A few days later, Wanyan Kexi dressed the royal clothes and led the guards out of the city to see the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, and a dramatic scene in history was staged again twenty years later, but the parties changed and turned into the Jin Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty, and it was staged on different characters, which is really unpleasant! Zhao Ta naturally happily accepted the invitation to surrender, otherwise how would he look at the next play, and the gratifying did not live up to expectations, and immediately appeared on the stage and entered the role...... (To be continued......)
