Chapter 244: The Second Siege

The West Road finished Yan Zonghan and the first attack on the Song Dynasty from Datong, the next day to break the Song Dynasty Zhang Hao's army in Wenshui, and at this time happened to be the elite of the Western Army in the division arrived in Zezhou, take advantage of the victory to recover Jianyang, Yuci and other places, and also Tun Zhending, in September, Wanyan Zonghan from Taiyuan to Yunzhong (now Datong, Shanxi).

Knowing that Xu Han, a member of the Privy Council, mistakenly believed that the Jin soldiers would retreat, he forcibly ordered the middle of the division to relieve the siege of Taiyuan. His army reached the stone pit of Jianyang, was attacked by the Jin army, won three victories in five battles, and arrived at Yuci.

Due to the system, Yao Gu and others missed the meeting and fell into the siege of the Jin army, and died in the battle with injuries in the division. The death in the battle in the seed division directly led to the defense of Taiyuan, Wang Yu, who was difficult to support alone, and in the second half of the year, Taiyuan fell!

The East Road is finished, Yan Zongwang captures Xinleke, Zhending! After resting, Yan Zonghan attacked from Taiyuan to Bianjing on November 18, captured the Weisheng Army on the 22nd, and crossed Mengjin on the 29th.

Song Xijing, Yong'an Army, and Zhengzhou all surrendered. On December 4, Wanyan Zonghan Kezezhou, and Wanyan Zongwang on the East Road attacked Bianjing from Zhen on November 20; On December 4, Zongwang's army crossed the river, and then captured Linhe County, Daming County, and the Deqing army (, Kaide Province; On December 10, Kehuaizhou and arrived at Bianjing City.

On December 16, Song sent troops to refuse the battle and was defeated by Wanyan Zongwang and others. On December 17, Wanyan Zonghan arrived at the foot of Bianjing City, and Wanyan Zongwang had already arrived one step earlier.

So far, the Jin soldiers have fought steadily and steadily, gradually digesting the threat of the Song army on the offensive route, the two sides with a large army of 150,000 divisions under Bianjing, Wang Yu guarded Taiyuan, was besieged by Wanyan Lou Room 50,000 besieged and fell, this part of the army of Wanyan Lou Room crossed the Yellow River in the south, went west to Luoyang, blocked Tongguan, locked the most elite Western army of the Song Dynasty in Tongguan, and cut off the road of Qinwang from the east.

Whether it is war or cooperation, the Great Song Dynasty is still quarrelling, Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong actually saved up Qinzong to retreat south and give up Tokyo Bianliang, while Li Gang was resolutely opposed, saying that this is tantamount to giving up the ancestors!

This sentence angered Qinzong, Li Gang was demoted to the observer envoy of Chuzhou, and immediately went to his post, Wu Min took over Li Gang's position and formally sued for peace with the Jin State.

After Wu Min sent people into the Jin camp, Wanyan Zongwang scooped out the superstition written by Qinzong to Yelu Yujian and rebuked the envoy, and from this he came to ask the teacher to ask for guilt, to talk about the agreement?

Yes, but the condition of the Jin State is to cede the land of Hebei Road and Hexi Road and Dajin State, otherwise the siege will continue.

Wu Min's envoy came back tremblingly and told Wu Min about it, Wu Min had no choice but to report to Qinzong, who was ashamed and hateful!

Angrily reprimanded Wu Min for his incompetence, Wu Min resigned, and Zhang Bangchang entered Dazai's right to preside over the work of peace talks with Jin State, Zhang Bangchang personally went to Jinying to meet Yan Zongwang, and was told that if you want to negotiate peace, you must come in person!

Zhang Bangchang argued on the basis of reason, saying that there is no reason for the king of a country to negotiate in person, so Wanyan Zongwang asked someone with the same status as Qinzong to come to negotiate, who can be equal to the emperor's status?

Zhang Bangchang was blind, and after restoring Qinzong, Qinzong asked his ministers,

"Who wants to be outnumbered?" No one was silent, and Geng Nanzhong said: "A person with the same status as the official family must only be the prince and others, but I don't know which prince is willing to go?" "None of the princes below said anything!

Qin Zong's complexion changed greatly! Heartbroken with grief! , but at this moment a voice shouted: "I am willing to go!" Qin Zong saw that it was Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, and he was so grateful that he didn't know how to speak!

King Kang was willing to go to Jinying to negotiate peace on behalf of Qinzong, and his status and face were gone, and Qinzong appointed Zhang Bangchang as the envoy of Hebei Road to cut land, and he would go to Jinying for peace talks with Zhao Gou, but Zhang Bangchang cried on the spot!

Zhao Huan said strangely: "Why is Aiqing crying!" Zhang Bangchang replied: "Cutting the ground is like cutting meat!" Insult the ancestors! In fact, Zhang Bangchang knew that Qinzong was not always asking for peace, on the one hand, he let himself go to peace talks, and on the other hand, he reused He Li and Sun Bo and others from the main battle faction, and appointed Liu Tao, who was in Beijing, to raise the four walls to guard the palace, and on the other hand, he took the second minister Sun Fu as the imperial envoy.

Cao Sheng and the privy envoy Feng Lu were appointed to go to Jinying with Zhang Bangchang and Zhao Gou to form a delegation of hostages to cut the land, Feng Lan praised him and said that he was concerned about the community, Zhang Bangchang said: "This time the peace and land cutting is like cutting your own flesh, it is a pain in the body, but from now on you can't return south to learn from Su Wu shepherd!" It's heartache! Cao Sheng cried when he heard this, the Jin people did have the idea of treating them as hostages forever, but in the camp at night, Wanyan Zongwang set up a banquet to entertain the representatives of the peace talks, and suddenly the outsiders shouted that the horses were neighing and the war drums were beating, and the Song people present were frightened and collapsed, but King Kang Zhao did not change his face, and Zongwang suspected that this person was not the prince of the clan!

But all the princes who were born in the royal family and eunuchs who were not dressed in brocade clothes and jade food grew up, they were all cowardly and cowardly, and King Kang was shocked when he heard it, there must be a fake!

It seems that Qin Zong casually found an officer to perfunctory himself, so he proposed to replace the hostages, and asked King Su Zhao Shu to replace the unknown King Kang in front of him!

Zhao Gou got out proudly, and couldn't help but sigh: "Brother Xiao really didn't lie to me, pleasing Zhang Bangchang can really help me get out!" "It turned out that all Zhao Gou's actions were all Xiao Ming informed him with a secret letter, let him do it, and bribed Zhang Bangchang to let him say words suspicious of Zhao Gou when he was alone with Zong Wang, so that he could get out of Jinying, and after Zhao Gou got out, he quickly rushed to Yingtianfu in Nanjing, the Great Song Dynasty, where there were funds and personnel that he had prepared long ago, and he could quickly form an armed force of 30,000 people!

Bianjing was surrounded, the Quartet shook, Xiao Ming, who was far away in Hangzhou, also got the news, he couldn't help but shake his head and sigh, it seems that he and Ding Jianpeng analyzed very correctly, they should still come, and on the same day, Xiao Ming received Zhang Zhongxiong, the son of Uncle Zhang who came from Yingchang Mansion in a hurry.

Zhang Zhongxiong gave Xiao Ming's nephew a salute, Xiao Ming felt that it was inappropriate, but Zhang Zhongxiong actually knelt on the ground with a puff!

Xiao Ming was shocked! Zhang Zhongxiong knelt on the ground and cried: "This kneeling is my father's confession, and I hope that Lord Xiao will borrow soldiers!" Xiao Ming hurriedly helped Zhang Zhongxiong up, and after inquiring, he found out that Zhang Shuye wanted to recruit soldiers, but their Zhang family really didn't have any soldiers except for a dozen family members, plus Zhang Shuye was an honest official, and he couldn't scoop up a lot of silver, he thought of Xiao Ming, for now, the only big warlord with private soldiers in his hands was Xiao Ming!

Uncle Zhang borrowed troops at night, Xiao Ming had no reason not to lend him money, he had already arranged two teams on the front line of Huanghuai, thinking that Zhang Shuye must be going north to King Qin, and the person was going to collide with the Jin soldiers, and the infantry at this stage would definitely not work, Xiao Ming decided to transfer the Golden Army from Xuzhou to the west, and he wrote to Zhao Yanwen and asked him to assist Zhang Shuye to go to Bianjing!

And how is Bianjing City at this time? Wanyan Zonghan on the West Road finally met with Wanyan Zongwang! Now more than 100,000 troops are surrounding Bianjing, just waiting for the siege!

When the Jin soldiers besieged the city for the first time, the total army of Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army was 60,000, and this time it increased to 80,000, and the main generals Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Chang, Liu Yanzong, etc. were still in the army, and only Guo Yaoshi stayed in Yanjing in the name of staying in Yanjing.

The Western Route Army still has Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Xiyin, and Wanyan Lou Room as the main deputy commanders, and Wanyan Basuoli and other generals are all under his command, and the Han Gaoqing is descended, and Shi Liai is the mastermind.

Wanyan Lou and Wanyan Xiyin took turns to supervise the division outside Tongguan to stop the king of the Song Dynasty's Western Army. The total number of the West Route Army, which was originally equal to the East Route Army, was also more than 60,000 people, after a long siege of Taiyuan, the strength of the army was constantly replenished, and the total number more than doubled, at this time, in addition to the 50,000 people who blocked Tongguan, there were still 780,000 people to participate in the second Kaifeng siege.

In this way, the strength of the Jin army on the east and west routes has exceeded 150,000 people, which is one and a half times more than the first siege.

Looking at the side of the Great Song Dynasty, the original forbidden army of Kaifeng during the first siege of the city, plus the Qinwang army that came from the northwest one after another, reached a total of two or three hundred thousand.

After the siege was lifted, these large armies were not placed where they should go, some of them were sent to the northwest for demobilization, some of them were lost in the battle of Taiyuan to relieve the siege, some of them were scattered on the south bank of the Yellow River, and some of them were dismissed for economic reasons by the ministers of the surrender faction Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong.

As a result, the defenders in the city were less than 70,000 when the Jin soldiers besieged the city for the second time. The Qin Wang Army in various places had already been restrained by the orders of Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong.

Only Zhang Shuye, the governor of Nandao, and his two sons Bofen and Zhongxiong disobeyed this surrender-style order, recruited 13,000 soldiers to King Qin, and encountered Yan Zonghan in Yingchang Mansion, and won and lost each other in eighteen battles, and finally the whole army broke into Kaifeng City, which was the only Qinwang army that could enter Kaifeng City in the second siege battle.

Zhang Shuye led Zhao Yanwen's Golden Army, due to some advantages of the heavy armored cavalry, in the small-scale battle, the golden soldiers were crushed at the first touch!

Uncle Zhang led his troops to break the camp at night, turned to the front, and arrived in the capital in November. Qinzong went to the city to inspect it, and saw that Zhang Shuye's troops were neat and neat, the armor was bright, and he was very happy to worship the city, and promoted Zhang Shuye to the bachelor of Yankang Palace.

Uncle Zhang fought with Jin Bing for 4 days at night, beheading two generals, Jin and Huan. Qinzong immediately came to the spirit, on the one hand, he wrote Zhang Shuye's military exploits and the praise he received into a secret letter to spread the word, summoned them to King Qin, and on the other hand, he dismissed Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong of the main war, and replaced He Li and Sun Fu as the prime ministers.

But none of the generals from all walks of life came to help, and He Li and Sun Fu only fought but did not know how to fight. They want to find Li Gang but are afraid that there will be opposition in the city, and now Tang Ke and Geng Nanzhong have been demoted, but there are still Wu Min and Zhang Bangchang, these people always want to talk with Jin He, who knows that this matter let Huizong, the emperor, know, when Huizong abdicated, he said: "Words and things!" "Concentrate on cultivation, and the edicts given to him by Qinzong are: Body and God are in harmony with the Tao, Jun Lie, Xun Gong, Shengwen, Rende, Xianci, Xianci, Emperor Xianxiao!

But this time, he took the time out of his cultivation to recommend a capable Taoist Guo Jing to He Li and Sun Fu!

He Li and Sun Fu were convinced of this person, first, the prestige of Huizong, the emperor, was still there, and this Guo Jing seemed to have such a trick of tricks, turning He Li and Sun Fu around, so they began to obey him.

But Guo Jing is a scoundrel in the market, who specializes in pretending to be a ghost and swaggering. He claimed to be able to cast the Liujia method, call the wind and rain, and scatter beans into soldiers, and asked 7,777 people who were born to be Liujia

The "Liujia Army", handed over to him to command the spell, can capture the golden generals alive, sweep away the golden soldiers without leaving any of them, and beat the golden people through Yinshan before stopping.

He Li and Sun Fu were convinced, and named Cheng Zhonglang on the spot, and allocated tens of thousands of gold and silk for him to recruit Liujia soldiers.

Guo Jing does not care about character and skills, does not care about height, shortness, fat or thinness, as long as the number of years of birth is in the top six, he will be admitted.

Recruit in less than 20 days. Under He Li's repeated urging, Guo Jing appeared on the stage. He ordered that only Uncle Zhang should be left alone to accompany him to the castle tower, and that all the other defenders in the city should be withdrawn, and that no one should peek.

Then the gates of the city were opened, and the drawbridge was lowered.

The "Liujia Army" wore red doves and held various magic weapons, singing and dancing out of the city. As a result, Jin Bing was like chopping melons and vegetables, and he was killed

The "Liujia Army" called for his father and mother, and the ghost cried and the wolf howled.

The corpses of the "Rokko Army" quickly filled the moat, and the golden soldiers rushed into the city like a tidal wave that broke the embankment. Guo Jing saw that the situation was not good, so he lied to Zhang Shuye and said: "You must do it yourself." "After that, the soles of the shoes were greased, and there was no shadow.

Uncle Zhang shouted at night and cried out in distress, so he had to rush to the battle, was wounded by an arrow, and fought and retreated under the protection of his second son.

When Qinzong heard that the city had fallen, he was terrified. At this time, the Jin people released smoke bombs again, and the note said that an armistice could be negotiated for peace.

Chin Zong was overjoyed and immediately ordered all the defenders in the city to lay down their arms. Uncle Zhang was organizing a street battle at night, and he was depressed according to the order, so he could only do his bidding.

The city of Bianliang was broken by the great Song Jingshi with thick walls......
