However, it was said that the Son of Heaven gathered hundreds of civil and military officials to discuss the strategy of war and peace, and the ministers would never make a decision. Geng Zhongnan said that our dynasty could first send envoys to the Dajin army to negotiate peace. Tang Ke also said: "Your Majesty, the hundreds of thousands of troops of the cash people are going south in two ways, and the soldiers are unstoppable and advancing at great speed. The emperor can send two envoys to the Dajin army to negotiate peace with the Jin people, and promise money and grain to show the sincerity of our Great Song Dynasty in negotiating peace. The Jin people are barbarian people, and they invade our dynasty just to get more money and grain, and if we pay to satisfy the Jin people, the Jin people will retreat!"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was overjoyed, and said to the ministers: "I don't know which Aiqing is willing to negotiate peace with the Jin Army?"

When the ministers heard this, they were silent, and there was silence in the court, and none of the civil and military officials dared to go to the Jin army to negotiate peace.

Suddenly, Li Na, the Pingzhang of the Zhongshu Sect, said: "Your Majesty, the ministers are willing to negotiate peace with the Jin Army." ”

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he also made a decision, and he said: "Li Gang is too upright, if this person is ordered to negotiate peace with the Jin army, I am afraid that this person will not be able to negotiate peace, but he will anger the Jin people." Then he said: "Li Aiqing's official residence is in the same Zhongshu Sect, if I have something, I can't do without Aiqing's consultation." Li Aiqing should not go to the Jin Army to negotiate peace!" After that, he said to the officials: "Who else is willing to share my worries?"

When the officials heard this, no one dared to respond, and the Son of Heaven said: "The Manchu Dynasty is civil and military, and among the dozens of people, except for Li Aiqing, there is no one who dares to go to the Jin army to negotiate peace." Since no one dares to go, I can go as I please!"

As soon as the Son of Heaven said this, Deng Lai, the deputy of the privy council, suddenly said: "Your Majesty! The minister is willing to go to the Jin army to negotiate peace!"

When the Son of Heaven heard this, he was overjoyed and said: "Deng Aiqing is really the minister of Sheji! But the Jin army and soldiers went south in two ways. Deng Aiqing can only go to one place. You need one more person to make it!"

An Lizheng replied: "The minister is also willing to negotiate peace with the Jin army!"

When Tang Ke heard An Lizheng's words, he thought secretly: "If you go to the Jin Army to negotiate peace and succeed, it will be a great contribution to the Son of Heaven." At that time, even if I fold the firewood table to the emperor. The emperor may not be willing to punish you. How can it be so easy for you to refuse my son's marriage to your daughter!" Then he said: "Your Majesty, Lord An holds the position of a scholar in the middle school, and it is also an important position in the imperial court, so you can't go to the Jin army to negotiate peace. ”

The Son of Heaven asked, "If according to what Tang Aiqing said, who can I send to the Jin Army to negotiate peace?"

Tang Ke said: "The minister can raise one person to negotiate peace with the Jin army!"

The Son of Heaven asked, "Who is Aiqing Baoju?"

Tang Ke said: "Sun Daoyou, who is involved in political affairs, is an easy-going person and has many scheming. It's up to the task!"

When Sun Daoyou was beside him, he heard the words and said: "The minister is willing to share the worries for His Majesty!"

The Son of Heaven then ordered Deng Lai, and Sun Daoyou and the two of them negotiated peace with Yan Zongwang and Yan Zongbi respectively!

Not to mention that Sun Daoyou went to Wanyan Zongbi's army. But he said that Deng came to the order. On the same day, a military general was appointed in the forbidden army to escort him, and he took the deputy envoys Kang Geng and Chen Dong to Tai'an Prefecture at night.

However, after Yan Zongwang broke through Qingzhou City, he ordered the soldiers to rest in the city for ten days, and then incorporated the wounded soldiers into the rear team. Then he made Yan Jie heavy. Ugu Renan. The three Yelu Xiongnu led 10,000 elite soldiers as the front team, and more than 100,000 soldiers from the horse infantry went to Tai'an Prefecture.

Although Lord Zhang, the governor of Tai'an Prefecture, was a person from the main battle faction, when he heard that Yan Zongwang had broken through Qingzhou, he expected that the Dingjin army would enter Tai'an Prefecture within half a month. Seeing that the city wall of Tai'an Prefecture is not as strong as Qingzhou, it is expected that Dingchai Table will not be able to hold Tai'an Prefecture. Then he ordered his family to flee to Huzhou in advance to settle down, and he went to the soldiers and horses camp to order Chai Biao to defend Tai'an Prefecture, and then fled to Kaifeng to meet the Son of Heaven.

Although Chai Biao is the governor of Xuanwu in Tai'an Prefecture. But he is timid and afraid of things, and he does not know how to use soldiers. I can't rub any sand in my eyes. After hearing that Yan Zongwang raised an army of 100,000 to kill, he didn't know how to strengthen the city defense, and he was still drinking and having fun with his generals in the camp. An Letai stepped forward and said: "The Jin army will not be in the city soon, and the general will not strengthen the city defense, when will it be?"

Chai Biao said: "There are only more than 10,000 people in my city, and I can't stop the 100,000 troops of the Jin army." It is useless to defend the city without fortifying it. When the Jin army comes, I have my own clever plan to retreat from the enemy, and you will retreat, no need to say more!"

Anlotai was impatient, so he had to look at the city wall.

But after saying that, Yan Jiezhong, Wugu Ren'an, and Yelu Xiongnu led 10,000 elite soldiers as the front team, and it took only two days to arrive in Tai'an Prefecture, and camped thirty miles outside the city for a night's rest, and waited in Tai'an Prefecture the next day.

When the soldiers defending the city saw the Jin soldiers approaching the city, they hurriedly flew to report the firewood table. Chai Biao then led the troops to the city to watch. I saw the three generals of the Jin Army, each holding a weapon, lined up in front of the array.

A deputy general in the formation of the Kujin army jumped forward and shouted: "My big golden iron cavalry has come to the city, why don't you sacrifice the city and surrender?"

When Chai Biao heard this, the generals said: "The Jin army is powerful, and the lineup is neat, we will definitely not be able to hold this city, it is better to sacrifice the city and accept it as the best policy, what do you think?"

One of the generals suddenly replied: "How can General Chai, as a defender of the state, be so afraid of the Jin army! I see that the Jin army is only a few thousand people, but there are more than 10,000 elite soldiers in our city. How could General Chai not resist at all and want to surrender the city, why not? If the Jin army enters the city, what does the general want to do with the people in the city?"

When the generals heard this, they were the generals!

Chai Biao said: "If the Jin army arrives, we will still not be able to hold this city." Rather than giving up your life in vain, it is better to take the opportunity to surrender. ”

Cheng Yi said angrily: "If everyone in our court guards is like a general, I am afraid that my Great Song Dynasty would have been destroyed long ago!"

Chai Biao said: "Could it be that General Cheng has a good strategy to retreat from the enemy?"

Cheng Yi said: "Although I have no good strategy to retreat from the enemy, I am willing to lead my soldiers to defend this city." May we live and die with this city!"

Chai Biao said: "It is useless for us to die in vain, and we will not be able to defend this city after all." Moreover, the imperial court also ordered us not to anger the Jin, and we were trying to negotiate peace with the Jin. If we do not accept the surrender, we can retreat to Dongping Mansion. I wonder what you think?"

Li Zhi said: "What the general said is very true. We may close the north gate and retreat through the south gate. You can get to Dongping Mansion within seven days. ”

Cheng Yi said: "If the general retreats, what will happen to the people in the city?"

Zibiao said: "Open the south gate of the city and let the people flee out of the city together, anyway, sooner or later the city will be broken, and the people will not be able to escape this difficulty after all!"

Cheng Yi wanted to speak again, but Chai Biao waved his hand and said: "General Cheng doesn't need to say more, General Cheng has already made up his mind to retreat." After that, he summoned the herald to inform the guards of the city gates on all sides, and when the army retreated, the guards of the city gates retreated.

The order was passed to the east gate, and the east gate guard was An Letai. An Le Tai knows that Chai Biao is greedy for life and afraid of death, and he does not know how to use soldiers. At this time, when I heard the firewood watch, there was nothing I could do. just sighed and said: "If we had pressed the platoon in advance, we could have refused to defend the city to resist the Jin army, and I didn't want the lord to be so cowardly." As soon as the Jin army arrived, they ordered to retreat before the battle began! Since the main general is like this, what can our generals do?"

However, it was said that after the order of the Chai Biao General was issued, the army of self-unification quickly retreated to Dongping Mansion. The people of the city also fled for their lives.

Wanyan Jiezhong, Wugu Ren'an, and Yelu Xiongnu led the army to wait under the north gate for an hour, but they still did not see the Song army come to fight. Seeing that the defenders on the tower of the city were reduced and there were no main generals, Wan Yan Jiezhong did not know what had happened in the city, so he ordered the siege of the city.

After hearing Yan Jie's heavy order, the soldiers immediately stepped forward and shot indiscriminately at the city tower with bows and arrows. Dozens of soldiers defending the city were shot and killed.

Seeing that the resistance on the tower of the city was weak, there were few soldiers defending the city. He also stepped forward immediately, took out the flying claw hundred chain locks from the Ruyi bag, and threw them on the city tower. The hundred chains buckled the tower, and I saw that Ugu Ren'an gently pulled the hundred chains with his left hand, and his whole body rose into the air. And he put his feet on the wall, and leaped up to the tower.

Ugu Ren'an jumped up to the tower and saw that there were only a few dozen soldiers guarding the city, and most of them had been killed by random arrows. I was shocked in my heart, and I realized that the Song army had been retreating for a long time.

The moment dozens of city guards saw Wugu Ren'an leap up the city tower with light skills. They all knew that Wugu Ren'an was strong in martial arts, so no one dared to engage in battle with Wugu Ren'an. A small number of guards on the tower of the city fled when they saw Ugu Ren'an jumping up the tower.

Ugu Ren'an then went straight to the bottom of the tower and went to open the gate.

There were still more than 20 soldiers guarding the city gate, and when they saw Ugu Ren'an coming down from the city tower, they walked towards the city gate again. More than 20 guards of the city gate then each held a large sword, and in an instant surrounded Ugu Ren'an in the middle.

I saw that Wugu Ren'an was surrounded by more than 20 big men, and there was no fear on his face. More than 20 big men saw that Wugu Ren'an was holding a double iron halberd, so they just walked towards the city gate, ignoring the fact that there were more than 20 soldiers with weapons next to him, as if they were in a no-man's land. Just open the door.

The soldiers were furious, and suddenly one of them jumped forward and slashed at Ugu Ren'an's back. I saw that Ugu Ren'an didn't even look at it, and only raised Zuoyang, and the man fell to the ground and couldn't get up again. The crowd didn't even see how the man had been killed by Ugu Ren'an.
