Bianliang City, Imperial Palace.

The Mongol nobles outside the city heard the bad news at first glance and retreated. The great golden monarchs and ministers in the city are also like frightened birds, panicked and uneasy.

In the imperial study, the Golden Emperor listened to the report of Yila Pu'a who was kneeling on the ground, his face was pale, and his body kept trembling.

The other courtiers in the imperial study were also frightened at the moment, and they were all dumbfounded.

Sanfeng Mountain was defeated, hundreds of thousands of Jin troops were annihilated by the Mongolian army, the generals in the army were killed and wounded, Wanyan Heda and Yirapua led the remnants to retreat into the city of Junzhou, the Mongolian army besieged the city, the Jin army was cut off from grain and grass, outnumbered, Junzhou City was conquered, Wanyan Heda died in battle, and after the completion of Yan Chen Monk Palace, he should have been martyred. Only Yila Pua led 8,000 cavalry of the loyal and filial piety army and withdrew to Bianliang City.

The Mongol army returned to the division, conquered Luoyang, and then approached the city of Bianjing, besieging the city of Bianliang.

"What can I do? What can I do? ”

The elite was destroyed in one fell swoop, and all the famous generals were killed in battle, Wanyan Shouxu muttered to himself, suddenly picked up the tea cup on the table, and smashed it down.

"The centaurs are dead, why don't you die? What are you doing here? Why don't you die? ”

There was a pause on his forehead, blood was dripping, and his body was covered with tea. He didn't dare to defend himself, he just kowtowed and shouted for mercy.

"Someone! Drag it out and beat it to death with a stick! ”

Wanyan Shouxu was frightened and shouted loudly.

"Your Majesty, spare your life! Spare your life! ”

Wailing and being dragged by a few attendants, he went out of the study.

"Slow down!"

Li Qi, the governor of the government, said a word and bowed.

"Your Majesty, the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, the sky fell heavy snow, this is the work of God, not human. Although he is guilty, his will cannot be violated, and his sin does not lead to death. Your Majesty's Mingjian. ”

Henan is blizzard, Bianliang City is also extremely cold, and the Jin army is in a hurry to go north, and it seems that the end is doomed.

The elite is lost, and the national fortunes of the Dajin Kingdom are afraid to come to an end.

"Your Majesty, in the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, our army suffered heavy losses, but the Tatar army also suffered a lot of casualties. Yila Pua brought 8,000 elites back to Beijing, which can be regarded as making up for his mistakes. At the moment of the great enemy, it is a bad omen to kill the generals without permission. Your Majesty thinks twice. ”

The right prime minister followed the performance, muttering to himself in his heart. If it weren't for the emperor's nepotism and sending himself, the commander-in-chief of the guard army, who had no experience in warfare, to lead the army, I am afraid that he would not have ended up in a situation where the whole army would have been wiped out.

"I... I... Let me kill myself and go with the soldiers! ”

Wanyan Shouxu suddenly passed, took off the sword that was more decorative on the wall than practical, and cut it to his neck.

"Your Majesty, you can't do this!"

Several ministers were quick to step forward and hurriedly snatched the sword from the emperor's hand.

"What else can I do? Who will save my Dajin Kingdom? ”

Wanyan Shouxu kicked away the ministers, looked up to the sky and roared, his voice mournful.

It is no wonder that he was so disappointed, the Mongol army was approaching the city, but the last elite army that came to King Qin was defeated, and Bianliang City was already in danger.

What will I do to save you, my Dajin?

"Your Majesty, it's not yet the last moment, the outcome is unknown, don't do this!"

Queen Shan broke in, hugged Wan Yan Shouxu's legs, and tears rained down.

Daikin has enjoyed the country for 120 years, is it really exhausted?

"Your Majesty, at this moment, there are still tens of thousands of soldiers stationed on the city wall, and you have to lead the soldiers to fight bravely to kill the enemy and rejuvenate the country. Your Majesty can't let the soldiers chill! ”

The ruling minister, Li Qi, knelt down and pleaded bitterly.

Today's predicament of Bianliang City is worse than that faced by the Northern Song Dynasty during the Jingkang period. The Northern Song Dynasty still has Qinwang and Wang Shi in various places, as well as the half-arm of the Jiangnan River. Now that the army of the Jin Kingdom is gone, what else is there?

Except for the dilapidated Bianliang City, there is nothing!

"Your Majesty, there are millions of soldiers in Bianliang City, and it shouldn't be difficult to recruit tens of thousands of new troops. The ministers invited to go and recruit troops, share worries for the king, and kill thieves for the country. I beg your Majesty's permission. ”

Pingzhang political affairs, Xiao Guogong Marquis, solemnly ask for orders.

The Mongol army of 40,000 or 50,000 besieged the city and held Bianliang City, and there was still some hope.

"Your Majesty, although our army has suffered a lot of losses, there is still hope for defending the city. The Tatar army also suffered a lot of losses, and it was difficult to ride a tiger. It is better to sue for peace with Ögedai for the time being, and perhaps the Tatar army will retreat. ”

Li Qi, the ruling minister, continued to play to Wanyan Shouxu.

"Summation?"

Wanyan Shouxu was stunned for a moment, and then shook his head.

"It's not that easy! When the Tatar army is approaching the city, will Ogedai agree? If they keep besieging the city, how long can Bianliang City hold out, half a year, or a year? ”

Seeing the pitiful Yirapua kneeling on the ground, Wanyan Shouxu waved his hand in disgust, and the attendants let go of Yirapua and retreated.

In history, in the Battle of Sanfeng Mountain and the Battle of Junzhou, the main force of the Jin army was lost, and the good generals died, and they could no longer compete with the Mongol army. The Mongol army surrounded Bianjing, the Jin army held on for nearly a year, the plague broke out in Bianjing, the food was short, a total of 50 days, more than 900,000 dead people were transported out of the city gates, and the poor and unburied have not been included. In December of the same year, Jin Aizong fled from Bianjing, crossed the Yellow River in the north, and then returned to Germany.

Because of the appearance of Zhao Hong, history has undergone earth-shaking changes, without the siege of Subutai, the vitality of the Mongolian army of the Torre Department was greatly damaged, and the 40,000 or 50,000 troops of the Wokuotai Department had no strength to besiege the city.

He quickly got up, wiped his snot and tears, and tiptoed out of the study.

"Your Majesty, in order to sue for peace with Ogedei, in addition to offering gold and silver, you can also send the clan's sons into the Tatar camp as a hostage, so as to demonstrate the sincerity of our Dajin country to seek peace. The Tatar army is under-armed, and Ogedai may carefully consider it. ”

Li Qi continued, seemingly confident.

Torre's Mongol army on the western route, it is better never to appear.

"Why is that? Get up and speak. ”

Wanyan Shouxu helped the queen up, sat down by himself, and a glimmer of hope rose in his heart.

As long as the Mongol army besieges the city and sends reinforcements, Bianliang City will be broken sooner or later.

If it really doesn't work, I'm afraid I'll have to escape from Bianliang City and find another way.

Historically, in the battle of Sanfeng Mountain, the Jin army was defeated by the Mongolian army, and the Mongolian army besieged Bianliang City. Wanyan Shouxu had just run away, Cui Li, the guard general of Bianliang City, launched a coup d'état, and after killing the two left-behind prime ministers, Wanyan Congke, the king of Liliang, was the prisoner of the country, and he ruled as a prince, a marshal of the military and horses, and Shang Shuling, and then took all the harems and ministers of the Jin State as hostages.

Cui Li imprisoned the Empress Dowager Jin, Empress Tudan, concubines and members of the royal family, and sent them to the Mongolian army, and took refuge in Mongolia by himself, only carrying the queen mother, the queen and the concubines There are 37 palace cars, and the rest There are more than 500 royal relatives, and a large number of three religions, medical streams, craftsmen, and embroidery girls. When this group of people arrived in Mobei, women became the playthings of the Mongols, and the male royal family became slaves, and the situation was very similar to the "Jingkang shame" suffered by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Li Qi knew Wan Yan Shouxu's thoughts, and continued:

"Your Majesty, our army has been at war with the Ogedai Division, and until now there has been no news of Torre's army on the Western Road. In the opinion of the ministers, 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, not worth mentioning. If the Torre Department is really devastated, the army has already arrived. ”

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.

Wokotai surrounded Bianliang City, and Wanyan Shouxu had to transfer Yanheda and move to Pua back to the army. The battle of Sanfeng Mountain has ended, the Mongolian army is approaching the city, and the wind in Bianliang City is loud.

It's just that after such a long time, the battle between the two sides has ended, and Torre has not yet appeared, which is really imaginative.

Li Qi's words made Wanyan Shouxu startled, his eyes immediately became hot, and his expression immediately relaxed a lot.

"Li Qing, will Torre really lose?"

The army of Ögedei is already besieging the city, and Torre should have arrived anyway.

And for Torre, a war maniac, Wanyan Shouxu is afraid to the core.

"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. ”

Wan Yan Baisa 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.

"Yes, yes, yes! Torre's Western Route Army must have been defeated! It's better to die without a single one left! It's best to die! ”

Wanyan Shouxu said hatefully, bowed his head and pondered for a moment, and then continued:

"A few Qing families, and Wokotai to make peace, do you think, who can be a hostage to the children of the clan?"

At this time, Wanyan Shouxu seemed to calm down, and even picked up a copy of the recital on the desk and pretended to look at it.

"Your Majesty, you can persuade King Liang to take Yan as a hostage and send him to the Tatar camp."

Wan Yan Baisa thought about it and said.

"No! King Liang is old, so let Chenglin go. Named him King Cao, let's share the worries of the country. ”

Wanyan Shouxu threw down the fold and denied Wanyan Baisa's suggestion. It seemed that he had cleared his mind and regained his composure.

Wanyan Chenglin is Wanyan Baisa's younger brother, honest and obedient. Although Wanyan Baisa was reluctant in his heart, he did not dare to resist the decree.

"Your Majesty, the Tatar messenger has entered the city. They have come to negotiate peace. ”

Outside the study, he whispered a report and resumed his old position as "chief bodyguard".

"Tatar emissaries into the city? What do they say? ”

Wanyan Shouxu couldn't help but feel refreshed.

"Back to Your Majesty, the Tatar envoy said that Ogedai asked our army to offer him 50,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver and 300,000 taels of silk, and ceded the land north of the Yellow River, and they would withdraw their troops immediately."

Shifting Pua continued, her voice trembling slightly.

"Peace? Withdraw troops? ”

Wanyan Shouxu was confused, and all the ministers looked at each other, all suspicious.

The land north of the Yellow River has long been occupied by the Mongol army, so what is the point of making peace or not?

50,000 taels of gold, 300,000 taels of silver and silk. This request does not seem to be very out of place in terms of numbers.

"Li Qi, look ......"

Wanyan Shouxu pressed the throbbing in his heart and looked at Li Qi, the ruling minister of his "think tank".

"Your Majesty, isn't it the Tatar West Road Army, what has really happened? Your Majesty, it seems that the payment of reparations to the Tatar cession can be further discussed. ”

Li Qihu was suspicious, but Wanyan Shouxu said categorically:

"Li Qi, you and Bai Sa will go to see the Tatar envoys immediately, as long as they withdraw their troops immediately, try to meet their demands! Just go! ”

Li Qi and Wanyan Baisa took the order to leave, and Wanyan Shouxu called Yila Pua in, and said that he was ordered.

"You heard it all! led the soldiers of the pro-guard army to collect silver taels from the large and small officials and wealthy merchants in Bianliang City. If you don't do it well, I'll cut off your dog's head! ”

"Your Majesty, rest assured, the minister will not disappoint Your Majesty!"

Yila Pu A swore to take the order and left, and the single queen also retreated, and Wanyan Shouxu leaned back in the chair, and his heart was a little more stable.

It was an unexpected surprise that the Mongol army was willing to retreat and did not need protons. Could it be that something really happened to Torrey's Mongol army on the western route?

In any case, as long as the Mongol army can withdraw its troops, this is the best outcome for now.
