Since the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, it has been repeatedly threatened by the Western Xia, Liao and Jin, but after so many ups and downs, Bianliang City is still prosperous, so the capital up to Zhao Ji, Zhao Heng, to the civil and military officials, down to the common people, all think that the Jin army will be the same as the previous Western Xia, Liao can ask for a New Year's coin, as long as they send the gold and silver silk on time, they can still enjoy a rich and stable life in Bianliang City.

However, it didn't take long for the leisurely days to come, the envoys of the Jin State came to Bianliang City, and Xiao Zhonggong and Yelu Yu Jian, who threw themselves from the Liao State to the Jin State, served as the chief envoy and the supervisor respectively, Zhao Heng and the civil and military officials in the court thought that Xiao Zhonggong and Yelu Yu Jian were both from famous families in the Liao State, and they would definitely not be willing to live under the Yan clan for a long time, so they thought that they could lure and buy the two envoys.

The officials in charge of receiving them sent gold and silver treasures, and there was a lot of temptation between the words, Xiao Zhonggong responded vaguely, but the officials of the Great Song Dynasty thought that they were really suspicious, so they sealed a letter with wax pills and asked Xiao Zhonggong to send it to Yelu Yujian, so that they could help the Great Song Dynasty to bargain for some bargains in the future exchanges between the two countries.

However, Xiao Zhonggong and Yelu Yujian had already been frightened by the brilliant record of the Jin State defeating the Khitan army of 700,000 in the Battle of Dagang with 20,000 soldiers and horses, how could they dare to serve them? In addition, when they went south this time, the Hedong and Hebei areas of the Song army they saw along the way were dilapidated, and they did not hoard troops for guarding, so they did not hesitate to hand over the secret letter to Wanyan Zongwang, the second son of the gold lord Wanyan Aguta.

Wanyan Zongwang was dissatisfied with the last time he led the troops south and did not capture Bianliang City, and now he can bear it with such an excuse, in August, Wanyan Zongwang used this secret letter as a reason to crusade against the Great Song Dynasty again, this time the leader is still Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, compared with the last time, the soldiers and horses they led are more abundant.

Prior to this, the Song people were not unaware of the dynamics of the Jin army, and the seed master Dao met the envoy Wang Wei of the Jin State in Heyang, and judged that the Jin soldiers would definitely move south, and immediately asked the emperor to stay in Chang'an to avoid the enemy. However, the officials who had trembled in the first siege of the city suddenly straightened their waists and scolded the planters for being cowardly and fearful, and shelved them away.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang marched in two ways, and Wanyan Zonghan set off from Datong on the west road, and broke the Song Dynasty Zhang Hao's army in Wenshui the next day, and Keyuan in September. After the East Road Wanyan Zongwang set off from Baozhou, on the same day to break the Song soldiers in Xiongzhou, Zhongshan September to capture Xinle, break the Song Dynasty general in the division in Jingcheng, take the Tianwei army, Ke Zhending, the two of them are like a bamboo, and they are about to attack Tokyo Bianliang.

It was only at this time that Zhao Heng remembered to reactivate the main battle faction, but he had already missed the opportunity, if he was willing to listen to the advice of the Seed Master Dao and attack halfway, the Jin army would definitely suffer heavy losses, so there was still enough strength to go south? Taking a step back, if they were willing to spend a sum of money to strengthen the defense of the Hebei area, how could they let the Jin soldiers attack the vicinity of Bianliang so easily?

Now that the army is pressing, the Song army has suffered heavy losses, and the defense of Bianliang City is almost unprepared, even if Bai Qi and Li Jing arrive in the court, there is no good way, not to mention Li Gang and Seed Master Dao, they lack both money and food, lack of soldiers and horses, and are deeply constrained by the Lord and the faction, plus Zhao Heng is not the master of the Ming, they can almost be said to have no very good way to deal with Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang.

Seeing that the main battle faction didn't seem to play a role, Zhao Heng's mind changed again, the main and faction once again had the upper hand, Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others ordered the Song army everywhere not to be the king, and fantasized that the Jin soldiers could take some money and leave like last time, this move made the Song army everywhere hesitate, at the beginning of the year, when the Jin soldiers besieged the city, two or three hundred thousand soldiers and horses rushed to Bianliang, but this time only Zhang Shuye, the governor of the South Province, and his two sons Bofen and Zhongxiong recruited 13,000 troops to rush into Bianliang.

Li Gang was driven out of the capital again, thinking that the current situation was so embarrassing, but Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others were still acting like this, the seed master Dao was sad and indignant, plus the death of his younger brother in the seed master had broken his heart, the seed master Dao died in October because he was ill, and the last Optimus Prime of the Great Song Dynasty was broken.

Afterwards, Zhao Heng came to the memorial in person, wept for it, and posthumously presented the Kaifu Yi and the three divisions, but these were useless, and then successively rejected the suggestions of the planter Dao half-crossing and attacking, garrisoning Hebei and retreating from Guanzhong, the fall of Bianliang was just a matter of time.

After the Jin army was repaired, it set off again in November, and Wanyan Zonghan attacked Bianjing from Taiyuan on the west road, and arrived at the city of Bianliang in a few days, including Weisheng Army, Longde Mansion, Mengjin, Xijing Luoyang, Yong'an Army, and Zhengzhou; At this time, Wanyan Zongwang on the East Road also went all the way from Zhending to Huaizhou, and arrived in Bianliang before Wanyan Zonghan.

Compared with the last siege, the number of Jin troops this time was more than doubled, 150,000 soldiers and horses surrounded Bianliang, among which there were Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu), Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Lou Room, Wanyan Yinshuke and other Jurchen famous generals were all in battle, and at the same time, Liu Yanzong, who threw himself from the Liao State to the Jin State, and Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the Changsheng Army who first threw himself to the Great Song Dynasty and then turned to the Jin State, helped the battle.

There are less than 70,000 in Bianliang City, most of them are miscellaneous soldiers who are unbearable to fight, and there are not even a few generals in the city who can lead the army, not to mention that compared with the middle people of the Seed Master Dao and the Seed Master, there are no generals who are about the same level as Tong Guan, no wonder Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong are in a hurry to seek peace, presumably they also know that with this strength, they will not be able to stop the Jin Army at all.

In addition to seeking peace, under the urgency of the Chinese military officials, all kinds of crooked and evil ways also emerged, and Sun Fu, the secretary of the Privy Council, was in the siege of the city, reading Qiu Jun's "Sentimental Poems", and saw that there were words "Guo Jing, Yang Shi, and Liu Wuji" in it, and suddenly like an evil spirit, thinking that these three people could solve Bianjing in danger, he immediately sent people to search for it in the city, and as a result, he really found a soldier named Guo Jing in the Dragon Guard Army, one of the four armies of the forbidden army.

This Guo Jing didn't know if he had taken the wrong medicine or had evil in his brain, so he directly echoed Sun Fu's statement, claiming that he was good at "making gods serve ghosts", and had the ability to "move mountains and seas, scatter beans into soldiers, and stealthily sneak", as long as he did what he said, he could capture Yan Zongwang and Yan Zonghan alive, and sweep away the 150,000 gold troops outside the city.

Zhao Heng, who had no other way out, was convinced of this, and immediately gave Guo Jing an official and a knight, giving him tens of thousands of gold silks, and letting him recruit troops on his own to prepare to cast spells to break the gold.

And Li You's task this time is to help the Great Song Dynasty defeat the Jin army and hold Bianliang under such an unfavorable situation. (To be continued.) )
