Chapter 898: Bianliang is lost

Seeing that Xuanzan hadn't reacted yet, Zhou Yuan had no choice but to say a little deeper: "King Kang, Qian Gai, and Wang Xiang are the last reinforcements of Bianliang, but these people are literati after all, only when Qian Gai kills Bianliang, Wang Xiang and King Kang will raise troops; Qian Gai did not go directly to Zhengzhou to Bianliang, but went around to Yingchang in the southwest, in fact, he was afraid of war, and as soon as Qian Gai retreated, the two naturally cowered. Qian Gai will inevitably retreat to Luoyang, and the speed of its troops is by no means as fast as that of the Jin army, and we may be able to see it on the way, when the time comes, you leave me alone and go north. ”

The people who led the army in the Great Song Dynasty were all literati, which was a big drawback, although there were many geniuses like Fan Zhongyan, but after all, the proportion was too low, but at this moment, even if Zhou Yuan was full of emotion, he also felt that it was useless to say more; Xuanzan felt that he was shallow, and asked, "How is the general prepared?"

Zhou Yuan groaned: "I'll go to Chang'an, if I meet Qian Gai, it's the best, otherwise please Fan Zhixu to kill the people of Guanzhong, King Qin." But as soon as Fan Zhixu moves, Guanzhong must be empty, and the situation behind it is difficult to say, you are still young, it is better to go to Taiyuan to fight for a future, no matter how the south changes, Taiyuan will not be lost easily, and when I see King Yun, I will say my order. ”

Xuanzan heard what Zhou Yuan meant, Zhou Yuan was determined to tie up Qian Gai and others to help the east, maybe there were extraordinary means, and he didn't want to affect himself; Xuanzan promised Zhou Yuan, bypassing the Jin army all the way, and after Xucheng County, he saw countless deserters and refugees, approached Luoyang and learned that Qian Gai fought with the Jin army, and retreated to Tongguan with 100,000 people, and Wang Xiang's army had retreated to Xiangyang.

Zhou Yuan said a prophecy, the two broke up at the three-way intersection, Zhou Yuan took a small road to Chang'an, Xuanzan crossed the Yellow River, Mengzhou went to Luzhou; but after crossing the Yellow River and meeting the Jin army from time to time, Xuanzan could only abandon the armor and horses, mixed with the fleeing people, and walked for six whole days before arriving in Luzhou. Xuanzan found the sergeant who guarded the door and reported his name, and was led to the planter Min.

Seed Master Min knew Xuanzan, and when he heard that Zhou Yuan had gone to Chang'an, he sighed and said: "Zhou Yuan is too stubborn, Fan Zhixu doesn't send troops, if he sends troops, it will be difficult to protect Guanzhong." Bianliang was conquered by Wanyan Zongfu yesterday, and if Fan Zhixu valued his reputation, he had to send troops. ”

Xuanzan was dumbfounded, he and Zhou Yuan were fine when they rushed out, how could they lose their hands in a few days? The Bianliang city wall is tall and sturdy, and there are more than 100,000 defenders, even if they don't fight back one by one, it will take ten days and half a month for the Jin people to climb the city wall and kill all the defenders.

The seed master Min only learned that Sun Fu used the Taoist priest Guo Jing to defend the city, took the initiative to go out to meet the battle, and was killed by the Jin army to enter the Xuanhua Gate, the Song army collapsed again, and the veteran Liu Yanqing once again led more than 10,000 people to escape, and was killed by the Jin general Wanyan Danghai in the Gui'er Temple; Tokyo Bianliang and Xijing Luoyang all fell, and the war in Henan ended temporarily.

A luxury carriage pulled by four horses stopped at Nanxun Gate, Song Qinzong got off the car and walked, accompanied by a group of officials such as the privy envoy Cao Fu, the prime minister He Li, the king of Qi Zhao Xu and the Zhongshu Sheren Sun Mao, and entered the Jin army camp. He Li and Zhao Xu's faces changed suddenly, they had already negotiated all the conditions with Wanyan Zongfu yesterday, and today it is reasonable to go through a process, who would have thought that Jin Ren would play such a game.

Dazai Zhang Bangchang, who had been in the camp of the Jin Army, and Wang Yun, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, actually knew a little bit about the meaning of Wanyan Zongfu, but at this moment, both of them chose to remain silent; after waiting for a whole day, dinner was just porridge and steamed buns, which made Song Qinzong's monarchs and ministers uneasy. It wasn't until the next day that Xiao Qing, the attendant of the Jin State Rite Department, and Wan Yan Sai, the deputy envoy of the Taiding Army, walked in from outside the tent, and Xiao Qing said proudly: "Since you are willing to surrender to Dajin, why don't you offer a surrender table." ”

He Li's face changed greatly, the table reduction and the agreement are two completely different concepts, no matter how harsh the agreement is, at least it ensures the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty, as soon as the table is lowered, who knows what will happen later; He Li took a step forward: "Lord Xiao, Marshal Wanyan Zongfu didn't say that yesterday, I want to see him personally." ”

Xiao Qing now has an indescribable joy in his heart, he was originally a Liao minister, and witnessed the process of the Liao State being destroyed under the attack of the Jin and Song dynasties, and now it is finally Bianliang's turn, it is really karma, and those who harm others harm themselves; Xiao Qing sneered: "Why don't you say that I forgot, Marshal Zongfu said, if you want to see the demeanor of the genius of the Central Plains, you should write in four or six dual sentences." ”

He Li wanted to say more, and Wan Yan Sai's face sank and asked, "He Xiang, do you really want us to send a large army into the city to slaughter it? It's just a table, is it worth more than the millions of lives in the city?"

He Li opened his mouth, he couldn't say a word, he knew the fierceness of these alien races, and he didn't have the courage to interview and probe on this at all; Song Qinzong Zhao Huan had stayed up for a day and a night, and he had no sharp energy, so he sighed and said: "The matter has come to this, and there is no need to worry about anything else." ”

Sun Mo was responsible for drafting the table of reduction, and revised it four times in a row, and only then did Yan Zongfu reply to express his satisfaction, and set up an incense case to the north in the palace, so that the monarchs and ministers of Song Qinzong faced the north and bowed to read out the table of reduction. Song Qinzong and the others did not know how to get out of the golden camp, the wind and snow were combined, and the ground was covered with thick ice, and everyone was grief-stricken; when they arrived at Nanxun Gate, they saw the ministers and tens of thousands of people waiting for news at the city gate, Song Qinzong could no longer hold back his emotions and howled in front of the carriage.

This is Song Qinzong Zhao Huan moved from the bottom of his heart, after all, there are still many subjects who are worried about their own safety; Song Qinzong entered the palace crying, and after the news of the demotion was announced, thousands of officials and scholars knelt outside the noon gate, and the crying inside and outside the palace shook the sky. Wang Yun came back with Yan Zongfu's letter, asking for 10 million taels of gold, 20 million taels of silver, and 10 million horses of silk.

It's just that Zhao Huan has been frightened, and ordered Kaifeng Mansion Yin Wang Shiyong and Wang Yun to be responsible for this matter, and ordered Kaifeng's magnates, clans, and businessmen to contribute to the army. The Jin army itself was not idle, almost every day the Jin army entered the city to loot, and the officials of the Great Song Dynasty could only turn a blind eye and let the Jin army enter and exit freely.
