The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Wan Yanyong led everyone up to the inner city tower and looked around. It was a hot day and he couldn't help but shudder. Although he was prepared after hearing everyone's reports just now, he was still greatly shocked by seeing the tragic situation in the city with his own eyes. The shelling.

After that, the famous city of Liaoyang has lost its past.

In the style of the sun, everywhere you look are broken walls and ruins, charred black, and corpses that have no time to bury are everywhere. In some places, the flames have not been extinguished and are still burning. Only the white tower built in the Liao Dynasty stands among the ruins.

, as if to show people their misfortune.

The city was crowded with people, and thousands of homeless people were wandering everywhere, trying to find a place to stay. The entire city was drowned by cries, shouts, and cries for their children and daughters. The defenders of the city were

The sergeants also looked frightened and depressed, and they stayed together in groups of three and two, whispering.

In his words, he recounted the horror of escaping from death yesterday. Wanyanyong realized that the large-scale bombardment by the Song Army not only destroyed the city, but also dealt a great blow to the people's morale and morale. He had lost the confidence to defeat the enemy and was afraid that he would not defeat the enemy again.

An artillery attack of this magnitude would probably break up.

"What are the Song troops shouting outside the city?" Because they were far away and there was a lot of noise outside the city, Wanyanyong couldn't hear clearly, so he turned his face and asked.

"Commander, the Song Army is shouting: There will be another bombardment tomorrow, but their emperor is kind and the people in the city can still leave on their own. The Song Army will not send anyone to intercept them, nor will they plunder the property they carry with them. They also said...

." Wanyan Zhehe replied, but he became hesitant again.

"What else did they say? Just tell me." Wan Yanyong understood as soon as he saw the way he hesitated to speak, Zhao Er definitely didn't say anything good about him.

"They... they said that the commander-in-chief is holding all the people hostage to fight against the heavenly army, and he has evil intentions. He is exchanging the lives of all people for his own glory and wealth. He refuses to open the city gate to let the soldiers and civilians out of the city because he wants everyone to be buried with him!" Wanyan Zhehe looked at him.

said with a look on his face.

"Zhao Er is trying to deceive people. Don't take it to heart, Commander-in-Chief. At the end of the day, the general will lead his army out of the city to drive him away. This will prevent the people from being deceived by him." Jiagu Wuli added.

"This is Zhao Er's trick. He wants to lure us out of the city. The commander-in-chief must not send troops out of the city." Li Qiong quickly stopped after hearing this. He was not afraid of being annihilated by the Song army, but worried about going out in this form.

The soldiers ran away without waiting for the battle to begin.

"Sir, please let us go out of the city. The entire Liaoyang community is grateful for your kindness and will build a temple for you to be grateful for your kindness forever!"

"Sir, it's not that we don't want to try our best, but the enemy's artillery is so powerful that we should open the city and ask for surrender to save the lives of the people!"

"Sir, tomorrow the Song army will attack the city again. By then, all the people and the city will be destroyed. No chickens or dogs will be left!" At this time, the people below the city saw Wan Yanyong and others on the top of the city, and they knelt down and begged.

"Anyone who dares to abandon the city and surrender again will be killed, killed, killed!" Upon hearing the soldiers and civilians under the city asking Kaicheng to surrender, Wanyan suddenly became furious and shouted "kill" three times in a row.

"Archers, get ready!" Kong Yanzhou waved his hand, and the soldiers on the city leaned forward to bend their bows and set arrows, getting ready.

"Wait a minute, don't kill innocent people indiscriminately." Wan Yanyong hurriedly stopped him, "People's hearts are already unstable now. If we suppress it forcefully, it may lead to a mutiny. It's better to comfort them with kind words." After all, he is not as ruthless as Wan Yan Liang, who treats the people

I can't be cruel.

"Sir, those who surrender at this moment must not stay. Otherwise, if everyone follows suit, the situation will be out of control and must be severely suppressed." Li Qiong frowned and said.

"How can we kill all the people in the city without thinking? We are all members of the Great Gold." Wan Yanyong refused again.

"Sir, why don't we release the women, children, and children in the city out of the city. This can save some food and grass, and also show your kindness. The remaining soldiers will definitely serve to the death." After all, Wanyan Tuhesu had eaten salt for a few more years.

I understood what Wan Yanyong was thinking, but it was not something that could be solved in a few words to calm down this incident. So he suggested again.

"Okay, just listen to Lord Fu Yin. Announce to all the people in the city, those under the age of sixteen and those over sixty can leave the city from the north gate before sunset. However, serving military generals and young adults who have been recruited are not included in this.

Anyone who tries to sneak out of the city will be killed without mercy!" Wanyan Yong thought for a while and said, "Wanyan Zhehe, you and Kong Dutong will be responsible for supervising the implementation, and at the same time, strictly guard against the Song army attacking the city when it takes over the city. If the Song army is found approaching,

Close the door immediately."

"Sir, although this move is for the benefit of all the people, it is like those who leave the city being captured by the Song army. They drive everyone to attack the city first. Among them are the relatives of the soldiers who stayed behind. How can they fight?" Li Qiong quickly dissuaded him after hearing this.

"This..." Wanyanyong hesitated. Using the other party's people as the vanguard to attack the city was a common method used in war at this time. The Jurchens relied on this tactic to capture countless cities. Zhao Er is a very grudge-minded person and will never forget it.

It is not impossible for these past events to be repeated in the same way.

"Sir, please make a decision as soon as possible. There is not much time left before the Song Army issues an ultimatum." Wan Yan suddenly said quickly.

"Prime Minister Xiao hasn't returned from the peace talks yet. Let's use this as an excuse to stabilize the army and the people, and I will make a decision after I think about it carefully." Wan Yanyong pondered for a moment and then went down to the city to return home.

As expected, Xiao Zhonggong couldn't help but talk about it, and he came back that evening. Wan Yanyong hurriedly visited to inquire about the peace negotiation. Xiao Zhonggong smiled bitterly and told Zhao Er that he would only withdraw his troops on the condition of ceding Liaoyang Mansion, and said that he

They were temporarily stabilized on the grounds that the matter was important and needed to be reported to the court. Zhao Er agreed to give it ten days. If he still refused to cede Liaoyang Mansion, he would send troops to capture it.

Wanyanyong was sad and happy after hearing this. The happy thing was that Liaoyang City had a chance to breathe, and he could rearrange the city defenses and deploy troops. The sad thing was that if the court agreed to cede Liaoyang Mansion, he would become a defeated general who would lose the city and the land.

, it will be difficult to have peace of mind for the rest of your life. But if you don’t promise yourself, you may not be able to keep it.

Therefore, he hoped that when the imperial court refused the conditions of the Southern Dynasty to cede Liaoyang, he also asked Xiao Zhonggong to petition the imperial court to send reinforcements on his behalf. The next day, Wanyanyong bid farewell to Xiao Zhonggong and returned to Beijing with ambivalence, but the Song army also followed the agreement and did not return to the capital again.

Liaoyang Prefecture was bombarded, but the soldiers and civilians in the city still lived in fear.

There are actually reasons why Zhao Tong uttered cruel words and then took them back. One is that although the large-scale bombardment of Liaoyang Mansion achieved unprecedented results, the ammunition consumption was also very heavy, and he was no longer able to launch a second bombardment of the same intensity, so he had to wait.

To replenish ammunition; secondly, the weather was hot and it was in the rainy season, so soldiers and horses were prone to illness, which was not conducive to large-scale battles, so he wanted to wait until the weather cooled down and the precipitation decreased before entering the army.

As for the peace talks, Zhao Tong believed that the Kingdom of Jin would never agree to cede Liaoyang Prefecture, otherwise the country would fall into a serious economic crisis and would be unable to maintain the operation of the court. Another reason was that he received news that another incident had occurred in the Kingdom of Jin

This is such a big event that people in the government and the public are now in panic, and no one dares to take care of the matter, but Wu Shu can't do anything about it...

…………

The matter stemmed from a rebellion case, involving the two emperors Wan Yan and Jin. He was not as generous as Zhao Tong, and ordered his two brothers, King Wan Yan Yuan and Wan Yan, to be executed. Although Jin

The work of sinicizing the country has been carried out for many years, especially Wanyan Dan, a favorable promoter of sinicization, who should know etiquette and understand the principles, but he accepted the family members of the two brothers, including their concubines, according to the customs of the Jurchens.

Unexpectedly, the neurotic Wanyan Dan fell in love at first sight with his brother Wanyan Yuan's concubine, Sa Mao, as if he had found the true love and second spring of his thirty-year life, and he loved her to the death, no matter the cost.

, that is to say, for the sake of Samao

, he was willing to do anything. So, Wanyan Quan once again launched a bloody killing, but this time the targets of the killing were not a few maids in the palace, chamberlains and minor characters, but the concubines in the harem, shocking Jin

The murderous murder in the imperial court finally occurred.

The first unlucky thing was Wanyan Dan’s wife who had been with him for more than ten years. The emperor killed Pei Man, the empress of the Jin Kingdom’s mother Yitianxia. This was definitely a sensational political news in the Jin Kingdom at that time.

A special issue could be published. Regarding the death of Queen Pei Man, people

The analysis is that he always wanted to seize power and interfere in government affairs, which made Wanyan Quan dissatisfied. In addition, after Wanyan Liang's death, he was always sad, which may have reminded him of the rumors about the relationship between the two, which caused him to suffer from mental illness.

Wanyandan, who had always been in a state of unconsciousness, committed a crazy act of killing his wife.

However, most people believe that the appearance of Samao may also be an important reason for the emperor to kill his wife, because less than a day after the death of Queen Pei Man, Wanyan Dan could not wait to bring Samao into the palace. Although he was not canonized, he was granted

its queen

treatment. So in order for Wanyan Dan to let his beloved Sa Mao ascend to the throne of the Queen of the Jin Kingdom, he had to abolish the current Queen Pei Man, and abolishing the Queen was an extremely cumbersome matter, but letting her disappear was

It is the simplest and most convenient way.

Since Wanyan Dan was so crazy that he even dared to kill the queen, was there anyone in the entire Jin Dynasty who he did not dare to kill? Just when everyone was panicking, Wanyan Dan's murderous actions against the harem were not caused by

It came to an end with the disappearance of Queen Pei Man. Ten days later, Wanyan Dan sent people to kill the three imperial concubines including De Fei Wugu Lun, Jia Gu, and Zhang. The tragedy once again shocked the Jin Dynasty and the public.

When the country was in crisis, the emperor did not think about how to resist the invasion of the Southern Dynasties, save the country and the people, and go into battle to kill the enemy. Instead, he went on a killing spree in the harem for a woman, killing his wife endlessly. Who knows what crazy things he would do in the future.

Depending on his actions, the sword might fall on his head one day. Some courtiers asked Taishi Wushu for help, hoping that Wushu could stop the emperor's absurd behavior and save the Kingdom of Jin.

At this time, Wu Shu's energy was devoted to the war against the Song Dynasty. He was so ill that he could no longer worry about the emperor's housework. Besides, he was hiding at home and killing his wife for fun. He couldn't care about it even if he wanted to, so he just dealt with it perfunctorily.

That's it. But some people in the court don't think so. They think that the reason why the grand master gained today's power is because he controlled the current emperor. How is it possible to ask him to "change horses"... (To be continued)
