Chapter 39: Bianliang Xing, Breaking the Ten Thousand Armies with One Force (5)

Wanyan Zongwang led his generals to the outside of the camp, looked at the big tree that was dragged back by his subordinate Erlang Sheng, watched carefully, and was secretly shocked in his heart, turned his head, and asked Ali, "Did you see that figure with your own eyes to make this big tree?"

Ali took a step forward, bowed down and replied, "Back to the second prince, that day the subordinates transferred the army to besiege the Song army, and when it was about to slowly encroach, the formation of the army and horses on the right wing was a little chaotic and unusable, and he was about to dispatch the guards to rectify it, when he saw a silver figure from a distance, about two feet tall, holding this big tree, rampage in the military formation. In an instant, our sergeant turned on his horse, and his men were suddenly affected by this change, and they were a little flustered, and they did not have time to surround and move forward. The figure took the opportunity to open the gate of Kaifeng, fled into the city with the Song army, and disappeared. His time was less than half a cup of tea, and his subordinates could only see a figure from a distance, which was not very clear. ”

After hearing this, Yan Zongwang lowered his head and pondered whether it was true or false, a bald man, wearing gold rings on both ears, a rat tail draped behind his head, and his jaw was covered with beards and roots like iron needles, and he opened his mouth and shouted, "But I don't believe it! Dashuai came south twice and destroyed countless enemies, how could the southerners have such fierce generals, who can make this big tree, all of them are juniors who flee from the wind." I think it's just an excuse for yourself to be afraid of the enemy and cowardly!"

Ali scratched his eyes and glared, "Hulu! In front of the second prince, Hugh is arrogant and presumptuous!"

The bald man Hulu closed his eyes and smiled, and said no more.

Another man wearing a melon-skin hat, two mink tails in his ears, a blue plate-collared shirt, and a silver Tuhu around his waist said, "Commander, that's what Hulu said. We have come all the way to the south, and we have killed so many southerners, where have we encountered any strange things? This is not the first time that we have besieged Kaifeng City, so why didn't there be so many twists and turns last time? The southerners still obediently presented coins and goods to send us out of the country. ”

This man's name is Pai Danghai, he is the left vanguard of Wanyan Zongwang, all the way south, and his military achievements are impressive.

After Yan Zongwang thought about it again, he immediately ordered the generals to camp and assemble trebuchets, and ordered Hulu and others to bury the pot and make rice, and waited for a few days when the time was ripe, and then invited the Song army to fight. Wanyan Zongwang instructed Ali to scrape and guard the east gate, don't take the words of Hulu and others to heart, Ali scraped the siege of the city hard, and when he returned to Beijing on another day, he would ask the emperor to ask Ali for credit. Ali Scrape of course took the order, he was defeated by Uncle Zhang several times a few days ago, and his generals were also killed two people, Jin people value heroes, and they have suffered defeats, so it is better to be obedient and obedient, and they don't say much at the moment, and go back to the camp to prepare.

All of a sudden, the battle clouds inside and outside the city were dense, and trebuchets were assembled outside the city, and the Song army also had trebuchets, called thunderbolts, which were small and flexible, easy to disassemble, and were installed on the city tower, condescending, to strike at the enemy. Uncle Zhang got the news that the Jin soldiers were camping outside the city, and knew that the Jin soldiers were coming to reinforce the army, and sighed in his heart, this Kaifeng City is now surrounded by water, and the official family wants to go south, but I am afraid that it will be more and more difficult. I had to boost the morale of the officers and men in the army, regardless of day and night, to make ordnance, fortunately, Kaifeng is the Great Song Dynasty Jing Division, and there are countless skilled craftsmen.

He Li, Song Zhezong Yuanyou four years (AD 1089) was born in Renshou, Sichuan Province, Song Hui Zongzheng and five years (AD 1115) he and his brothers came to Tokyo (Kaifeng) to take the exam, both Zhong, Li ranked first in Jinshi, at the age of 27. The so-called Jinshi is the first, that is, the champion. Lu Rongyi, a native of the Song Dynasty, said in "Shangzhen Lu": "In the Zhenghe Bingshen Palace Examination, He Li is the champion, and Pan Lianggui is second, all of whom are young and have a ...... style."

After He Li became a great leader in the world, he was favored by Huizong. The first secretary of the provincial school Shulang, the following year was promoted to Gyeonggi school, and was promoted to the main guest wailang, living in the house, and then moved to the middle school and the waiter. Because of his erudition and strong memory, integrity and outspokenness, Huizong was ready to move him to the official position, but he was slandered and released to the prefect of Suining, Sichuan. Because he was an official and had outstanding political achievements, he was soon reinstated and returned to Beijing to serve as the prefect of the Imperial History Observatory.

During his tenure as the Imperial Historian, He Li fulfilled his duties and was not afraid of the powerful, and his biggest deed was the impeachment of Wang Huang. At that time, Wang Huang was in power on behalf of Cai Jing, and he was regarded as one of the "six thieves" by being one of the "six thieves." He Li Shangshu listed 15 counts against Wang Hao, played seven chapters in a row, and finally overthrew Wang Hao and his fellow party Hu Songnian, Hu Yi and others. However, He Li offended some powerful people in the court because of this, and was released again, and he was to be controlled by the Huiyou Pavilion in Taizhou, Shandong. Although He Li was released because of this, his official reputation grew, especially left a deep impression on the then crown prince Zhao Huan.

In December of the seventh year of Xuanhe (1125 AD), the Jin soldiers went south, intending to capture the capital. Huizong Zhao Ji panicked and hurriedly sat in the crown prince Zhao Huan. After Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he changed his name to Jingkang and was Qinzong. He issued an edict to recall He Li, who was still the middle of the imperial history. In the following month, he was promoted to a bachelor of Hanlin, and he was the right man of the Shangshu and the waiter of the Zhongshu, and he was reinstated to wait for the governor to participate in political affairs, and held an important position in the center. But it is a pity that at this time, the Jin people are dividing their troops to attack in two ways, the Zhao and Song dynasties are stormy, and the general of the building is also poured, and it is difficult to show their skills and recover the decline.

In the first month of the first year of Jingkang (1126 AD), Qinzong urgently summoned Zongze to Beijing and ordered him to go to Jinying to negotiate peace. However, Zong Ze fought the main battle, and repeatedly said that he would rather die than cause the country to suffer losses. Before leaving, he was reassigned as the governor of Cizhou, Hebei. Later, the Jin soldiers approached the Beijing division Kaifeng and sent He Li to negotiate with the Jin camp. The Jin people cut the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan (now Dingxian County, Hebei) and the 20 prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the three towns, as well as gold, silver, cattle, horses, silk and other property. He Li, like Zong Ze, was the main battle faction, so he immediately sternly refused. After returning to the court, he tried his best to advocate that the three towns could not be ceded to the Jin people, saying: "The Jin people are cunning... If you don't cut, you will come. "And please build four governors to command the army and the king. However, Qinzong was indecisive and did not follow what Li said, and on November 17 in the first year of Jingkang (1126 AD), he was reappointed as a scholar of the Imperial Palace to lead Kaifeng Mansion Yin.

This Kaifeng Mansion Yin only served for ten days, Qinzong dismissed the lord and sent Tang Kexiang, re-appointed He Li, worshiped as the right servant of Shangshu and Zhongshu Shilang, and performed the duties of Zhongshu Ling, that is, the prime minister.

On the occasion of the siege of the Jin soldiers, there are still 60,000 horses in Kaifeng City, He Li is the main one to hold on to help, but Nai Qinzong believes in witchcraft, no need He Li said, He Li is also impossible, just hard work where to find the ethereal immortals. At this moment, a sudden subordinate reported: Tongzhi Privy Council Sun Fu found a stranger in the army, named Guo Jing, with the spells of Buddha and Taoism, can cast the "Liujia Law" of Taoism, use 7,777 people to set up a formation, and will Buddhism "Bishamen Heavenly King Law", but can capture Jin will retreat from the enemy.

He Li was shocked when he heard this, and immediately left home to go to the palace, ready to ask the official family to investigate carefully.
