Chapter 306: Going to the capital to finish Yan Zongyi

In Kaifeng in October, it is autumn, and the golden autumn leaves gently fall with the wind, spreading a thick carpet, but in Shangjing, thousands of miles away, it is a different scene.

This city, as the origin of the Kingdom of Jin, carries a heavy historical and cultural heritage, and is now covered in snowflakes in the depths of winter.

On such a snowy day, Wanyan Zongyi stood on the wall of the capital city, his gaze passed through the vast white snow, looking at the distant wilderness.

The cold wind was bitter, mixed with snowflakes, but it couldn't shake his resolute figure. The soldiers under the city walls also waited silently, waiting for his orders.

Suddenly, a black dot appeared in Wanyan Zongyi's sight, it seemed to come from the depths of the wind and snow, gradually growing in size until it was clearly visible.

A hint of anticipation flashed in Wanyan Zongyi's eyes, and he muttered to himself, "Could it be that Wanyan Zongmei is back?" He brought the news of the Great Song Dynasty? ”

At this moment, a soldier hurriedly ran over, his face filled with joy that could not be concealed: "King, General Wanyan Zongmei is back!" He also brought General Wen Boyuan, the commander of the palace of the Great Song Dynasty, as well as a large number of guns and artillery aided by the Great Song Dynasty! ”

Wanyan Zongyi was overjoyed when he heard this, the arrival of these firearms would undoubtedly add a great boost to their combat effectiveness.

He immediately ordered: "Hurry! Order thousands of men and horses to follow me out of the city to greet them! ”

As the city gate slowly opened, a team of men and horses galloped out against the wind and snow under the leadership of Wanyan Zongyi.

Not far outside the city, Wanyan Zongmei and Wen Boyuan were escorting the guns and artillery aided by the Great Song Dynasty to march slowly, and the nearly month-long overland journey made them feel tired.

After Yan Zongyi arrived on horseback, he flew off the horse, held Yan Zongmei's hand tightly, and said excitedly: "Brother has worked hard!" The assistance of the Great Song Dynasty means a lot to us, and these firearms will greatly enhance our combat effectiveness. ”

Wanyan Zongmei nodded and responded, "Brother, I deeply felt their sincerity when I went to the Great Song Dynasty this time. They hope that we can resist the Jin court together and regain the throne. ”

Wen Boyuan also stepped forward, he was burly, his face was resolute, and he had the demeanor of a military general.

"King Wanyan, this time I am ordered by Her Royal Highness Princess Song to send these firearms to show my sincerity. We hope to help the King win a battle and reclaim your throne. His voice was loud and powerful, revealing an unmistakable majesty.

Wanyan Zongyi looked at Wen Boyuan gratefully and said, "Thank you for your generous assistance, Your Royal Highness Princess Song, and thank General Wen for your hard work." Rest assured, we will make good use of these firearms. ”

Wanyan Zongyi ordered people to carefully count and receive the guns and artillery aided by the Great Song Dynasty to ensure that every piece of material was properly placed.

Subsequently, he personally took Wen Boyuan and his entourage to the palace city of Shangjing, preparing to hold a grand reception banquet for them.

The interior of Miyagi is brightly lit and splendid, showing the royal style. Wanyan Zongyi and Wen Boyuan walked into the banquet hall side by side, and the table was full of delicacies and fragrant wine.

After the two sat down, Wanyan Zongyi raised his glass to Wen Boyuan, thanking the Great Song Dynasty for his generous assistance.

"General Wen, this aid from the Great Song Dynasty is like a charcoal in the snow for us, and on behalf of the people of the Jin Kingdom, I would like to express my deepest gratitude to you." Wanyan Zongyi said sincerely.

Wen Boyuan also raised his glass in return, and said with a smile: "King Wanyan is serious, Her Royal Highness Princess Song especially admires the king, and it is natural for each other to support each other." I only hope that this aid will bring peace and stability to the country. ”

The atmosphere of the banquet was warm, and the guests of honor pushed their glasses and exchanged lamps, and talked happily. After three rounds of drinking, Wanyan Zongyi personally arranged accommodation for Wen Boyuan and his entourage.

Early the next morning, Wanyan Zongyi invited Wen Boyuan to visit the army garrison outside Shangjing.

When Wen Boyuan saw those energetic and well-equipped cavalry, he couldn't help but admire: "The soldiers and horses of King Wanyan really live up to their reputation, these cavalry are really fierce and extraordinary!" ”

Wanyan Zongyi was very satisfied when he heard Wen Boyuan praise his people so much, and said with a smile: "General Wen has won the award, these are my elite divisions, they were born and died for me, and they are extremely loyal." ”

As he spoke, Wanyan Zongyi's gaze became firm, and he looked into the distance, as if he had seen the dawn of victory.

"With Da Song's assistance, I am now full of confidence. I am ready to lead this army to take Yanjing directly, personally take down the head of Yan Zonghan, and avenge my father and brothers! ”

Wen Boyuan understood the importance of this war for Wanyan Zongyi and the Jin Kingdom. "King Wanyan, I sincerely wish you a victorious start and success. I hope that after you ascend to the throne, the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Jin Kingdom will be able to live in peace and prosper together. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongyi nodded deeply, "General Wen, rest assured, if I ascend to the throne, I will definitely devote myself to friendly relations with the Great Song Dynasty." Our two countries are fraternal countries and should work together to create a better future. ”

Wen Boyuan did not stay in Shangjing for long, he was concerned about the Great Song Dynasty and knew that he could not stay here for a long time. Under Wanyan Zongyi's hospitality and repeated reservations, he still firmly proposed his resignation. He spent ten days conscientiously teaching the operation skills of artillery and firearms to Wanyan Zongyi's subordinates one by one, ensuring that these soldiers of the Jin Kingdom could master the use of these advanced firearms.

After the teaching, Wen Boyuan led the army to return to Kaifeng. On the way back, his heart was surging and his thoughts were full of thoughts. He recalled what he had seen and heard in Shangjing, and he was deeply impressed by the strong combat power of Wanyan Zongyi's army, but at the same time, he was also deeply worried about Wanyan Zongyi's ambitions and the future situation.

After a long journey, Wen Boyuan finally rushed back to Kaifeng a year ago. Seeing the bustling scene in the city and the busy citizens, he felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy. However, he didn't have much time to enjoy the warmth, and the next morning, he hurried to the court, ready to inform the ministers and Her Royal Highness the princess Zhao Yingluo of his experience in the capital.

Above the court, Wen Boyuan stood there calmly and began to recount his experience in Shangjing in detail. He described the training and combat effectiveness of Wanyan Zongyi's army, as well as the mastery of firearms by the soldiers of the Jin State. He also talked about the customs and political situation of the Jin country, so that the ministers had a deeper understanding of the Jin country.

However, when Wen Boyuan mentioned his hidden worries, the atmosphere in the court suddenly became solemn. He took a deep breath and said slowly: "Wanyan Zongyi's troops are strong, and now our Great Song has helped him to stabilize the throne." However, my concern is that once he succeeds in securing the throne, it is difficult to guarantee that it will not be unfavorable to the Great Song Dynasty. After all, such examples are not uncommon in history. ”
