In the ninth year of Kim Zhengda, the first day of the first month, New Year's Day, Bianliang City, the palace hall.

The snowflakes in the sky, the biting cold wind, and the cold air made the Golden Emperor who was on the main hall feel that his fingers and toes became numb after just staying for a moment. Not to mention the cold weather, coupled with the unfavorable war, the palace hall of Bianliang City seemed to be as cold as an ice cellar, which made him shiver, and he didn't want to stay here for a moment longer.

Since last winter, when I learned that the Mongolian three-way army was heading south, the Mongolian Great Khan Wo Kotai personally led the army to cut down Jin, and as the emperor of the Jin State, he had hardly slept well.

In the first month, after breaking through the Hezhong Mansion in Hedong, the Mongol army in the middle of Wokotai crossed the Yellow River and captured Zhengzhou, and now it has troops under the city of Bianliang. The Mongolian East Road Army, Han Chijin, has also captured Jinan Mansion in Shandong, crossed the Yellow River, captured Xuzhou, broke the Jin army in Guide Mansion, defeated 15,000 Xuzhou elite soldiers of Wanyan Qingshannu, captured and killed the commander Wanyan Qingshannu alive, and joined forces with the Wokotai Department outside Bianliang City.

As a last resort, Wanyan Shouxu sent a messenger to summon the Yila Pua who was stationed on the front line of Nanyang to return to the division to rescue Bianliang City.

70,000 Mongol soldiers approached the city of Bianliang and had the potential to destroy the Dajin Kingdom in one fell swoop. When the building was about to collapse, everyone in Dajin was uneasy, and everyone was worried.

At this time, the only thing that could make them breathe a sigh of relief was the Torre Department of the Mongol army on the Western Front, and there was no news so far. Everyone knows that once the powerful Mongolian Western Route Army joins the war, it will be difficult to have a chance to escape.

Located on top of the cold hall, Wanyan Shouxu frowned, staring at the case in front of him in a daze.

This reminded him of the Great Song Dynasty Tokyo City during the Jingkang period a hundred years ago. At that time, the Jurchen armies of the east and west were besieging the city, and the emperors of the Song Dynasty, Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, were caged beasts and slaughtered by others, and they were about the same mood as him.

What should I do now, do you want him to go out of the city and beg for surrender like those two Song emperors who coaxed the soft egg?

Now there is only one place left in Henan, which is still besieged by the Mongolian army, and the Dajin Kingdom Mansion will fall, and there is no power to return to heaven?

Is the gas of Dajin really exhausted?

His eyes swept to the general of the Hezhong Mansion who was kneeling on the hall and kowtowing and begging for mercy, and Wanyan Shouxu's face immediately sank.

"After Yan Yanke, as the guard of Hezhong Mansion, you lost the city, do you still have the face to flee back?"

Wanyan Shouxu's face was pale, perhaps because of fear, he waved his hand, and with a "snap", the delicate glass teacup flew out, fell to the ground and shattered, and there was tea all over the ground.

This kind of glass is crystal clear, it is produced in the Song Dynasty, the price is expensive, the princes and nobles of Bianliang City, are proud of owning glassware. Some people use glass in their windows, which are bright and enviable.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar army is huge, and the ministers are all newly recruited sergeants, a rabble. The Tatar army besieged the city, threatening to kill all the resisters, and the sergeants ran away in a few days. The minister's strength is weak, Your Majesty is clear! ”

After finishing his face, he kowtowed again and again to defend himself.

A year ago, the guard of the Jingzhao Mansion in Shaanxi, who was also a clan, fled back to Bianliang City without permission, and the emperor did not punish him heavily, so that Wanyan Qingshan slave was guilty of meritorious service.

He was surrounded by the Mongol army of Ogedei, and the city was broken before he fled, and the emperor would not do anything to himself.

"False, the general of the defeated army, flee back to Bianliang City, do you still have the face to defend yourself?"

Wanyan Shouxu's face was pale, and he waved his hand impatiently at Wanyan Shouxu, who was kowtowing to apologize, and roared angrily:

"Come on, drag it down! Fifty with a rod! ”

Wanyan Shouxu was furious, Zhang Tiangang was taken aback, and hurriedly went out of the class to excuse Wanyan's intercession.

"Your Majesty, you didn't leave until the city was broken, not to flee without a fight, it's excusable, Your Majesty ......"

"Zhang Tiangang, step aside! Do you want to resist the decree? ”

Before Zhang Tiangang finished speaking, he was interrupted by Wanyan Shouxu's hideous eyes.

"Look at what? Why don't you drag it out quickly? ”

Zhang Tiangang was speechless, retreated to the ranks, and sighed secretly in his heart.

If these 50 sticks are beaten, will you still survive?

The waiter listened to the order, and hurriedly dragged the stunned Wan Yan Yanke out, and executed him outside the main hall.

The sound of executions and screams outside came, and the ministers in the hall were all frightened, and everyone was silent.

The Mongol army approached the city, and the emperor was moody and began to lose his temper again.

"Your Majesty issued an edict to all the generals to be handsome and Qinwang. Xuzhou Province Wanyan Qingshannu led the army westward to rescue Bianjing Mansion, and encountered the Tatar Shi Tianze Department in Yangyi, Guide Province, the deputy marshal Wanyan Wuwu died on the battlefield, Wanyan Qingshannu was cut off by the Tatar commander Temutai, Qingshannu still refused to surrender, and was killed by Temutai. Please send a decree of praise to comfort the hearts of the army! ”

Li Qi, the ruling minister, played hard.

Although Wanyan Qingshan slaves were martyred, the 15,000 elite soldiers in Xuzhou were lost, and only more than 300 people retreated to the city of Guide. The emperor must be indignant, but he still has to block the emperor's mouth and avoid letting the emperor go berserk, so as not to chill people's hearts.

Wanyan Qingshannu's cousin, Prime Minister Zuo Yanbaisa, did not say a word and continued to remain silent.

"Damn! Damn it! ”

Wanyan Shouxu scolded twice, he looked at the silent ministers in the hall, seemed to wake up, thought for a moment, and then said:

"I decreed that the statue of Qingshan Nu should be enshrined in Baozhong Temple, to comfort the family of Qingshan Nu, and to pass on the deeds of Qingshan Nu to the soldiers in the army."

After a short sentence of understatement, Wan Yan Shouxu paused, and then continued:

"Ladies and gentlemen, now that the Tatar army is coming to the city, the hearts of the people in Bianliang City are fluctuating, and the secretaries are discussing how to defend the city until the return of King Qin's army, please also ask your secretaries to discuss."

Yirapua and Wanyan Heda commanded the army of the Yellow River Tongguan defense line, as well as the elite soldiers of the loyal and filial piety army, and 100,000 elites went south to the front line of Dengzhou and Tangzhou to prepare for the attack of the Torre army. Since there has been no news from the Torre Department so far, the first division returned to Bianliang City and retreated from the besieging Mongol army.

"Your Majesty, Yirapu A and Wanyan Heda led the army to Nanyang, and there were only 40,000 old and weak soldiers in the city. Now the only way to do this is to re-recruit the civilian army and defend the city. ”

Pingzhang finished his political affairs and Yan Sai was not in the court, and Shangshu was the right prime minister and played it in vain.

Bianliang City, which is more than 100 miles in radius, is difficult for 40,000 soldiers to defend, so it is necessary to recruit troops from the people to resist the Mongol army.

The general said that he would kill, and the Jin Emperor in front of him was tyrannical and murderous, and it became more and more difficult to figure it out.

"Bai Sa guards the southwest, Wanyan Chengsche guards the northwest, Wanyan Chenglin and Cui Li guard the east wall, and there must be no delay!"

Wanyan Shouxu ordered in one breath, and suddenly raised his head, his face full of suspicion.

"Is there a military intelligence report ahead? Did the Song people collude with the Tatars and invade from Jinghu to the north? ”

All the ministers were stunned. The Song people were at odds with the Mongols, and at this time, the Song people probably wouldn't go north.

"Your Majesty, there has been no news of Torre's Western Route Army. In the opinion of the ministers, the Song army is probably fighting fiercely with the Torre Department in the Song Realm. At this time, the Song army should not go north, so as not to suffer the enemy on its back. ”

Governor Li Qi made a roughly accurate analysis.

Torre borrowed Hanzhong, and everyone in the world knew that Wanyan Heda, Wanyan Chen Monk and other 100,000 troops were waiting in Dengzhou and Tangzhou, but who knew that Torrey's Western Route Army had not appeared.

Except for the fierce battle with the Song army, it is impossible for the Torre Department to disappear out of thin air without any news.

"Your Majesty, what Li Xianggong said is very true. With the elite of the Song army, the sharpness of the firearms, and the fierce and auspicious of the Torre Department, even if it wins, I am afraid it will be a miserable victory. If it was really to defeat the Song army, the Torre Department would have already arrived. ”

Wan Yan Baisa followed and said.

The two Mongol armies besieged Kaifeng City, and Wanyan Shouxu had to order Wanyan Heda and Wanyan Chen monks to return to the army. The reason why Wanyan Shouxu dared to do this was also because the Torre Department did not appear, which made Wanyan Shouxu feel a lot more relieved.

Li Qi and Wan Yan Baisa's words made Wan Yan Shouxu surprised for a while, and his expression immediately relaxed a lot.

"Li Qing, Bai Sa, do you mean that Torre may have been defeated?"

Hanzhong and Kaifeng, separated by thousands of mountains and rivers, thousands of miles away, the Mongol army besieged the city, even if what happened in Hanzhong, it could not be transmitted to Henan for a while.

However, the Torre Department entered the Song Realm in the early winter of last year, and it was indeed unusual for the Mongolian iron cavalry who came and went like the wind to have no news for more than two months.

"Your Majesty, what Li Xianggong said is extremely true. There was no news from the Torre Division, and nine times out of ten the war was unfavorable. In this way, I can take a breath in Dajin Kingdom, and there is still the possibility of turning the tables. It is the right time for His Majesty to sue for peace with Wokotai at this time. ”

The Privy Councillor Chi Xuan Hexi frowned and said, but he couldn't be happy.

Song Jin feud, if the Song army is strong, it is also not a good thing for the Dajin Kingdom.

He burned down the post house that year, but who knew that Zhao Hong, who was the prince of the Great Song Dynasty, escaped. The reason why he killed Zhao Hong was also based on the feud between Song and Jin and the fact that they did not share the sky.

"Yes, yes, yes! Torre's Western Route Army must have been defeated! This murderous demon king, it is better to die in the Song Realm! ”

Wanyan Shouxu nodded again and again, and the look on his face suddenly became much more relaxed.

Originally, he was still interested in transferring Rapu Abu back to the division to rescue Bianliang City, but now he heard the explanations of his courtiers and felt much more at ease.

Zhang Tiangang left the palace, took a sedan chair to a bookstore next to the royal street, and entered the backyard, where a young woman was building a snowman in the yard with a four or five-year-old child.

"Princess."

Zhang Tiangang stood in the courtyard and respectfully saluted the woman.

"Zhang Xianggong, go over and speak."

The woman's posture is graceful, and she is wearing a cyan cotton robe, which can't hide her slender figure. She left the child to play in the snow by herself, and walked aside with Zhang Tiangang.

"Princess, that'......"

Zhang Tiangang told the woman about the affairs in the court.

"There is no need to ask, the Tatar Western Route Army and the Song Army must have been fighting in Hanzhong. The Torre Department stayed in the Song Realm for more than two months, and the casualties must have been not light. ”

The woman said categorically, as if she remembered something, and her eyes were a little confused.

If Zhao Hong was here, he would be able to recognize at a glance that the woman in the courtyard was the princess Wan Yanchun of the Jin Kingdom that he had been thinking about for a long time.

"Princess, so to speak, is it a thoughtful move for Your Majesty to transfer Rapu Abu back to the division to rescue Bianliang City?"

Zhang Tiangang was also a lot more relieved, and his expression was much more relaxed.

"There is indeed nothing wrong with returning to the division to rescue Bianliang City. The wrong thing is to employ people! ”

Wan Yanchun's expression suddenly became disdainful.

"Your Majesty likes to use the people around him, but he was killed by those prison guards. That idiot, he is the commander of the army, and I hope that he will not miss a big thing. ”

Zhang Tiangang nodded, and became depressed again.

He is the commander of the emperor's guards, and he has no experience in commanding troops, and now he is commanding 100,000 troops, and he is fighting against the 70,000 Mongolian troops who are brave and good at fighting, I don't know if he can bear it?

"This year's snow is so big!"

Wan Yanchun looked at the heavy snow flying in the sky and said quietly.

"Mother, come and pile up the snow!"

The child patted the snow, his little face flushed, and shouted excitedly to Wan Yanchun.

Zhang Tiangang watched the snowflakes flying, which seemed to be getting bigger and bigger, and he was also secretly worried.

Fighting in the field in the ice and snow, moving to Puabe, can you return safely?
