Yang Kang is not worried that his fake death will be exposed, the Mongols must have known that Wan Yan Kang, the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, is still alive, but there is no need to hype it, it is enough to let the prime minister know alone, he cannot stay in the Jin Kingdom for a long time, so let the character of Wan Yan Kang become a historical mystery.

The Mongols did already know the news, and sent people around to track down Yan Kang's whereabouts, but unfortunately they focused on Kaifeng City of Jin, not Lin'an Mansion of Song, and they didn't know that the Song Emperor who was allied with Mongolia was the culprit they were looking for, but the Mongol Great Khan Wokotai believed that as the emperor of Jin, he would definitely appear when Jin was about to fall, and he believed that the person who assassinated his father Khan was in Kaifeng City at the moment, and this time he not only wanted to destroy Jin, but also let the emperor of Jin who faked his death really die。

Anyone who dares to provoke the Mongols will surely die.

Although the Mongol army encountered the stubborn resistance of the Jin army, but under the trampling of the Mongol iron hoof, the Jin army was still defeated all the way, the Mongol army burned and looted everywhere it went, and did all kinds of evil, the whole land of Hebei was like a hell on earth, and every invasion of the steppe peoples would bring ruinous consequences to the Central Plains.

The battle reports came from the front line one by one, piled up in the study of the Jin Imperial Palace, each one was so heavy, the Zhongdu accompanied the loss, the Hejian Mansion was lost, the Zhongshan Mansion was lost, and the Daimyo Mansion was lost...... The land of Hebei was in the hands of the enemy, and the Mongol army drove straight into Kaifeng Prefecture.

His Majesty the Emperor looked at the war report, his heart was already numb, he knew that behind every war report were the bones of countless soldiers and people, but this is war, the lives of people in troubled times are as cheap as grass, these sacrifices are necessary for the final victory, if you don't want to sacrifice. It's better to simply surrender.

He had to calculate the remaining strength of the Mongol army from the battle report, and also deduce the combat effectiveness of the Mongol army from the fierce course of the battle, so that he could make corresponding arrangements, and the reason why the Jin army resisted stubbornly and harassed along the way was precisely to consume the combat power of the Mongol army. Let the Mongol army that attacked Kaifeng become a tired army.

A total of 400,000 troops from the two roads of the Song Kingdom have come to Kaifeng City, and Lou Shidao is among them.

The Ming Sect Guangming Left Envoy has been assisting Jia Shi to appease the rebel army in the territory of the Jin State a few days ago, and it has been very effective, and the rebel army in the Jin State is mainly Yang An'er in Yidu, Shandong, Li Quan in Weifang, Liu Erzu in Yimeng Mountain, and Zhou Yuan'er in Hebei, with a total number of about two or three hundred thousand, but these people are not regular troops, most of them are merchants and peasants. The leaders are generally local martial arts tycoons, and the uprising is just to resist exploitation, and there is no too strong political purpose, most of them have the idea of occupying the mountain as the king, and they have never thought of overthrowing the court and becoming the emperor themselves, so it is not difficult to appease them, as long as the Song State gives them food and salary, so that they can eat enough. They are willing to accept appeasement.

Under the planning of Lou Shidao and Jia She, a group of rebels such as Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen were recruited. At the same time, he also exterminated some of the scum scum in the rebel army, this time Jia Shi brought over this batch of rebels of the Jin State, which had been renamed the Loyal Army of the Song State at this time, and the next batch of nearly 100,000 loyal and righteous troops would be dispatched to Sichuan to guard the border.

After reading the battle report, His Majesty the Emperor got up and left the study, and it was dark outside. He leaned into the eaves of the palace, this is the palace of the Jin Kingdom, the highest place in the entire Kaifeng City, Yang Kang looked at the lights in the city, and the dense military camps outside the city. After two months of planning and operation, this crucial battle is finally about to begin.

The total strength of the Song and Jin states is more than 600,000, and the Mongol army is less than 150,000, but this overwhelming numerical advantage does not mean that victory will be achieved, in the face of the fierce Mongolian iron hoof, any outcome is possible, so the emperor Xià decided to press another bargaining chip, he is going to assassinate the Mongol Khan Wokotai, if Ogedai is killed, the Mongol army will be in chaos, so the odds of victory will be much greater, success or failure in this fight.

In the middle of the night, Yang Kang came to the military camp of the Song State outside Kaifeng City, Lou Shidao quietly brought him into the barracks, in a remote tent, this time the commanders of the Song army, Meng Zongzheng and Jia She, were waiting, they were summoned by Lou Shidao with the emperor's secret decree, and they didn't know what was waiting for them.

A figure entered the tent and lifted the black hood on his head, revealing the face of Zhao Yun, the emperor of the Song Kingdom.

Two days later, the vanguard of the Mongol army arrived at the capital of the Jin State, and the commander of the Song army met to discuss the matter of joint siege of the city, Wo Kotai planned to break through the Kaifeng City first, destroy the Jin State, and then turn to deal with the Song army, the 400,000 Song army can be said to be all the troops of the Song State along the Yangtze River, after defeating the Song army, the Mongolian army went straight to Xiangyang, as long as it occupied the strategic place of Xiangyang, the Song State had nothing to rely on.

However, this matter must not be revealed, so Wokotai deliberately transferred all the beggar disciples in the Mongolian army to the Tuolei army, and those beggar disciples were Han in the end, and they couldn't be trusted, so the beggar disciples, including Guo Jing, were fighting with the Jin soldiers in the area of Jingzhao Mansion.

Yang Kang has the same plan, since the Iron Palm Gang was wiped out by the Song soldiers, the beggar gang has become stronger and stronger, the emperor has already ordered the beggar gang to be recognized as an illegal organization, to give a severe blow, but the beggar gang and the main battle faction of the Song State have a deep relationship, protected by some ministers, this attack on the Jin State beggar gang disciples are very active, this is not a good sign, the beggar gang disciples and Mongolia are not clearly involved, it is not credible, in case the beggar gang disciples leak the news to Mongolia, all the sacrifices will be in vain.

So under the auspices of Lou Shidao, the beggar gang disciples in the Song army camp were purged overnight, and thousands of beggar gang disciples were summoned to a remote place, and were shot and killed by random arrows without knowing it, on the grounds of conspiracy to rebel, which was also a necessary sacrifice, at this time the emperor was playing with his daughter in the palace, and the little girl showed a happy smile.

The army of Wokotai finally came, at this time the Song army and the Mongol army had been attacking the city for three days in succession, the battle situation was extremely tragic, the arrival of the Mongol Khan made the morale of the Mongol soldiers high, when night fell, the Mongolian army camp resounded with songs on the steppe, the vast and loud, let people be high-spirited.

This song spread to the Kaifeng Imperial City, the emperor is holding his daughter sitting on the roof of the Jinguo Palace, the father and daughter are placed in front of a few barrels of fireworks, the father ignited the fire fold, handed over to the daughter's hands, the little girl felt fun, holding the fire fold and shaking, a little spark splash, the emperor Majesty Xià guided his daughter to light the fireworks with the fire fold, the fireworks flew into the air, emitting a wonderful light and shadow, the little girl looked up at the fireworks, and laughed excitedly.

In the cheerful laughter of the girl, the great war that will determine the direction of history begins. (To be continued......)
