Song Jianwu two years of Xinmao, autumn and October, northwest of Jinjing, Lintaofu Road, Gongchang Mansion.

Entering the northwest of golden autumn, the autumn wind is bleak, the mountains in the distance are covered with white veil, the rainy season in the northwest has passed, and the cold autumn envelops the entire land of Qin Gong.

The night of Gongchang Mansion is dark, South Street in the city, Wang's Mansion, but the lights are still on in the study, and a majestic man in his thirties sits at the table, frowning under the lamp.

Wang Shixian, a native of the Mongolian Wanggu tribe, a wealthy family of Gongchang Mansion, a Tongzhi of Gongchang Mansion, and a member of the Senator's Office, assisted Marshal Qin Gong Wanyan Zhongde to convene tens of thousands of scattered soldiers in Longyou Prefectures to prepare for the invasion of the Mongol army or the Song army.

Under the rule of the Jin State, the original Lintao Road governed Lintao Mansion, Gongzhou, Hezhou, Jishi Prefecture, Taozhou, Lanzhou, Huizhou and other places, but in the third year of Song Xingqing, it was occupied by the Song army, and only Gongzhou and Huizhou were still under the rule of the Jin army.

After the throne of the Mongolian state of Ogedai was the khan, the Mongol army went south to attack Jin, but suffered a series of defeats in Dachangyuan and Huihui Valley in Shaanxi. Wo Kotai was furious, personally commanded the army, and led the army across the desert with Tuo Lei to march south, entered Shanxi, crossed the Yellow River, joined the Shaanxi Mongol army, attacked Shaanxi, Jin gave up a large area of Shaanxi territory, held Tongguan, and retired Henan.

Now that the weather has turned cooler, the Mongol army is attacking Fengxiang Mansion, wanting to wipe out the remnants of the Jin army in Shaanxi in one fell swoop.

Fengxiang is six hundred miles away from Gongchang Mansion, and there is only one Qinzhou in the middle, once the Mongolian iron cavalry turns to attack Qinzhou, where will Gongchang Mansion go?

Strong enemies are around, the east is the Mongol army, the west, south, and north are the sphere of influence of the Song army, and Gongchang Mansion is sandwiched in the middle, and there is not even a way back.

There is also a way back, that is, Kaecheng surrendered, but I don't know whether to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty or to Mongolia?

There was a knock on the door, followed by several generals and Confucian scholars, who sat down one after another, all of them frowning.

Wang Shixian glanced at everyone, was silent, and Wang Shide, the general and cousin sitting on the chair in front of him, stood up in a hurry, and said with a heavy heart:

"Big brother, now in this situation, Shaanxi is about to be lost, and only Henan is left in the Dajin Kingdom, and I am afraid that the country will soon be destroyed. Big brother has to hurry up and make up his mind, otherwise he won't know how he will die when the time comes? ”

"Yes! General, you have to make a decision as soon as possible! ”

"General, you can't hesitate any longer!"

Several confidant generals Wang Zhong and Li Dajie also spoke together.

Everyone understands the current situation, the Dajin Kingdom is coming to an end, and it is not certain whether it can withstand the attack of the Mongol army. Now it's up to you which side to vote for.

"Is the gas of the Dajin Kingdom really exhausted?"

Wang Shixian looked at everyone and let out a long sigh, as if he was asking and answering himself.

was driven south of the Yellow River first, and now Shaanxi is lost again, leaving only a dilapidated Henan, but it is not that the gas has been exhausted.

"Big brother, a gentleman does not stand under a dangerous wall, and good birds choose trees to perch. For the tens of thousands of brothers in the camp, for the lives of the hundreds of members of the Wang family, and for the future of the brothers here, we must not hesitate! ”

Wang Shide once again urged his cousin.

"General, now that this situation is surrounded by enemies on all sides, no one can save us. We can only save ourselves! ”

The words of the military general Li Dajie are clear and explain the current situation of everyone.

Once the Mongol army attacked, it would be a dead end.

"However, the court treats me well, and I turn my back on the Lord to seek glory, and I ...... in my heart."

Wang Shixian smiled bitterly, seemingly embarrassed.

"Big brother, let's open the city and surrender, not for ourselves, but for all the brothers and people in the city. Big brother, if you are foolish, you are a sinner to your brothers and the people! ”

Wang Shide can't wait, the reason is high-sounding, and the reason is sufficient.

"Betraying the Lord, being unkind, and unjust, I don't know how to write the history books of later generations?"

Wang Shixian sat up straight and said solemnly.

"For the lives of tens of thousands of brothers in the army, and for the people of Gongchang Mansion to have a way to live, I decided to surrender to Gongchang Mansion and save Gongchang Mansion from the flames of war."

"Big brother wise!"

"Listen to the general!"

Wang Shide and Li Dajie were both relieved and spoke one after another.

The Mongolian army slaughtered the city at every turn, and as long as they lived up to their stubborn resistance, they could probably save their lives.

"But if you want to surrender, I'm afraid it's not easy."

Wang Shixian said softly, his brows furrowed again.

"General, you're worried about Wanyan Zhongde, right?"

Another fierce general in the army, Wang Shixian's think tank Wang Zhong said.

Wanyan Zhongde is the commander of Qin Gong, Wang Shixian's direct superior, upright and capable, loyal to the Dajin court, and has a very high prestige among the military and civilians, and is currently stationed in Gongchang Mansion. Wang Shixian and others want to raise the city to rebel against Jin, and they can't get around Yan Zhongde.

"Yes, there are not only Wan Yan Zhongde, but also Sticky Ge Wan Zhan and Guo Shrimp Toad. These people are not easy to deal with. ”

Wang Shide blurted out and answered for Wang Shixian.

"Wanyan Zhongde trusts me and puts his heart into his heart. If I want to kill him, I can't bear it! ”

At the mention of Yan Zhongde, Wang Shixian's brows furrowed even tighter.

Sticky Ge Wanzhan is the commander of Qinzhou's soldiers and horses and the governor of the state, a civil official and a doctor, and Wang Shixian, who was born as a military general, has always been at odds with him. Qinzhou and Gongzhou are closely connected, the terrain is dangerous, if you can win the name of the vote, kill two birds with one stone.

As for Guo Shrimp Toad in Huizhou, like Wanyan Zhongde, he is a loyal and good general of the Dajin Kingdom, and he will never surrender with his back.

"Big brother, the husband is decisive in killing, and there must be no kindness of a woman! If you don't kill Yan Zhongde, do you want the soldiers and civilians in the city to bury him? ”

Seeing Wang Shixian's hesitation, Wang Shide became anxious again.

"General, only after killing Yan Zhongde, the soldiers in the city will be at ease. The general does not have to blame himself, but must make a quick decision, so as not to lose the lives of the whole city! ”

Wang Zhong's expression was serious, and his righteous words persuaded Wang Shixian.

"Guo Shrimp Toad is in the north, don't worry, Huizhou is now a lonely city, it would be good for him to defend himself. Sticky Ge is a nerd after the exhibition, and this trouble must be solved. Also, Wanyan Zhongde is very much loved by the military and civilians of Lintao Mansion, in case ......"

Wang Shide stopped talking and looked at Wang Zhong.

"Wang Zhong, what is your best plan?"

The think tank in the army, see if he has a good way.

"Wang Zhong, you are Zhuge Liang in the army, tell me, do you have a good plan?"

Li Dajie's eyes also warmed up.

"General, although Wanyan Zhongde has a high prestige in the army, he is a scholar and doctor, and he can't put it down, and he can't compare with the general. As long as Yan Zhongde is eliminated and a few of his henchmen in the army are removed, the entire Gongchang Mansion will be the general's. ”

Wang Zhong said in a low voice, word by word, Wang Shixian's eyes slowly lit up. He pondered for a moment, then continued:

"Qinzhou has a dangerous terrain, the throat of Sichuan and Shaanxi, and a military town. If you can take Qinzhou and use Gong Qin as a vote to attach, it will also show some sincerity, and your brother's life will be better. ”

Wang Shixian's ambition is greater.

"General, what's so hard about this?"

Wang Zhong's gaze was cold, and he completely entered the role.

"Do it tonight, kill Yan Zhongde and his cronies, get his seal, and then invite Sticky Ge Wanzhan to come over to discuss matters in the name of Wanyan Zhongde, and then kill Sticky Ge Wanzhan to complete the exhibition, Qinzhou is at your fingertips."

Wang Zhong's words made everyone smile, and their minds came alive.

"Big brother, what Wang Zhong said is true! Sticky Ge is a nerd and easy to deal with. Besides, even if the sticky Ge can't come after the exhibition, as long as those shrimp soldiers and crab generals under his command, I can take someone to kill him! ”

Wang Shide was excited and echoed Wang Zhonglai.

"General, if it's too late, things will change, and you can't hesitate any longer!"

Wang Zhong seems to be impatient.

"General, don't do it. I'll take my brothers to kill Yan Zhongde, you can just sit in the barracks! ”

Li Dajie also persuaded in a low voice, his eyes were hideous.

"The country is ruined, and there is no choice. Just according to the brothers, for the sake of the big guy's net worth, he turned against Thion! ”

Everyone agreed to the rebellion, Wang Shixian's face flushed, he patted the table lightly, and immediately made a decision.

"Wanyan Zhongde trusts me and will not be guarded. On his side, I'm still doing it myself. Li Dajie guarded the city gate and couldn't let the news of Gongchangfu's incident get out. Wang Shide and Wang Zhong went to the barracks to solve Yan Zhongde's henchmen. ”

Wang Shixian's eyes were blazing, and he said slowly, and several henchmen nodded again and again.

It seems that Wang Shixian has already made a comprehensive plan.

"Do you think, then, to go to the Southerners, or to the Tatars?"

Wang Shixian suddenly asked softly.

"Big brother, isn't Torre's envoy already here, don't you want to surrender to the Tatars and want to join the Song army?"

Wang Shide looked at his brother, his eyes full of suspicion.

The Mongolian army is in the world, and they are also Mongols, so if they don't vote for Mongolia, do they go to the weak southerners?

"You say, the Tatar army is strong and strong, Shaanxi, Henan, Shandong, and the three roads go south, so why don't you use troops in Hexi and Zhongxingfu?"

Wang Shixian asked leisurely.

"In the year of Ding Hai, Subutai attacked the city of Chuzhou, losing more than 10,000 troops. The Song army and the Tatar army fought several battles, and each other suffered losses. And Hexi, it was also recaptured by the Song army from the Tatar army. The Song army had more than 100,000 troops in Hexi and Xingling, and there was a reason why the Tatar army did not march from Hexi and Zhongxingfu. ”

Wang Shide said it in a daze, and seemed to understand a little in his heart.

"The Song army has sharp weapons, is well-trained, and has more than 100,000 border troops, which is very difficult to deal with. If the general wants to vote for the Song people, it is a choice. ”

The Confucian scholar Wang Zhong probably understood what Wang Shixian meant.

The strength of the Song army is not weak, and compared with the Mongol army, it seems that it is easier for the soldiers to accept the Great Song Dynasty, which is of the same kind and has similar living customs.

"Wang Zhong, you're right, I just want to join the Song Army. In addition to the firearms and training you mentioned, there is also Emperor Song himself. ”

Wang Shixian nodded, looked at everyone, and said in a deep voice:

"Since the Song Emperor Zhao Hong ascended the throne, casting firearms, creating a martial arts hall, implementing a new policy, and rectifying the armament, in just six or seven years, the Song State has been rejuvenated, and the Song army has been reborn. Four years ago, the Song army was defeated in Chuzhou, and four years later, the Song army is stronger. You say, should we go to the Song people? ”

Wang Shixian's words made the atmosphere in the room warm all of a sudden.

Jin Bing and Song Jun are adjacent to each other on Lintaofu Road, getting along day and night, the Song Army is elite, there are many people, Wang Zhong and other Jin generals are clear.

"The general is right! The Song army had its own Hexi Horse Farm, and in the northwest alone, there were tens of thousands of cavalry. More than 100,000 troops, countless firearms. From the point of view of the last general, even if the Tatar army does not go south, the Song army will sooner or later go north to restore the Central Plains. Between the Song army and the Tatar army, sooner or later there will be a battle. Quite possibly, you can see it this autumn and winter! ”

Li Dajie opened his mouth, looking excited, and he was a little excited to see the excitement.

The powerful Mongolian iron cavalry, against the Song army of the newborn calf, is worth looking forward to.

"The general is far-sighted, and the general admires it! Wanyan Zhongde and Sticky Ge Wanzhan repeatedly said that they wanted to enter Xingyuan Mansion and occupy the land of Bashu of the southerners to avoid the Tatar army. The Nanren officials hated Wanyan Zhongde to the core. This petition is more weighty! ”

Li Dajie laughed excitedly and quickly silenced.

"Wang Zhong, according to what you say, the Mongol army is not the opponent of the Song army?"

Wang Shide was skeptical and a little hesitant.

No matter how elite the Song army is, it can't compare to the Mongolian iron cavalry that dominates the world and kills gods.

"Second brother, the Song army is not only sharp in firearms, but also strong in soldiers and horses. There are sixty or seventy million southerners, and only one or two million Tatars. Once the Tatars and the Song army are defeated in the battle, regardless of the large territory occupied by the Tatars, it is likely to collapse immediately. You don't want to think about it, the Song army can die two or three hundred thousand, can the Tatars? ”

Wang Zhong analyzed it carefully, and Wang Shixian picked up the conversation with appreciation.

"Second brother, Wang Zhong is right. The most important thing is that the southerners have a good emperor. In the northwest frontier alone, the Song army gathered one or two hundred thousand elites. The southerners were training troops everywhere, and as long as those martial arts halls were not closed, there were as many Song soldiers as they wanted. ”

"Big brother, we listen to you. If you vote for Tatar, it is very likely that you will have to fight with the Song army, and then you will have to play with your life as a backing. followed the Song army, the Song army has sharp weapons, strong soldiers and strong horses, and will definitely look down on us. When the time comes, the brothers will be able to leave a way to live. ”

Wang Shide seemed to have opened his mind all of a sudden, and he was talking about the truth.

"General, the Tatar envoys are still in the post house in the city, do you want to kill them and have one more petition?"

Li Dajie's eyes lit up, and he was about to move.

"Don't do stupid things, leave a way back! Gold, silver and jewels were presented as gifts to the Tatar envoys out of the country. Don't kill them all unless you have to. ”

Wang Shixian shook his head and rejected the suggestion of his subordinates.

"What the general said is very true!"

Li Dajie secretly admired. Wang Shixian is old and serious, and he does things without leakage, which convinces his subordinates.

Wang Shixian frowned again and pondered, and the voice of the guards outside sounded.

"General, the marshal invites you to the government to discuss matters!"

"Got it."

Wang Shixian responded, stood up, and smiled slightly.

"Wanyan Zhongde asked me to go to the meeting, and I just acted. Brothers, do things separately, be careful! ”

The mountain rain is coming, and the wind is full of buildings. It seems that there are others who can't sleep at night.

Everyone stood up straight and received the order together.

The autumn wind is gradually rising, and the sky in the northwest is about to change.
