The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

"Haha, I finally got here, and I have no regrets to die!" Zhao Qi immediately looked at the towering walls of Huining City and touched his neck and said with a smile. He had been struggling for so many years and was just for this day.

"Your Majesty is healthy in the dragon body, how could such a thing happen!" Zhao Yong, who was with the emperor, said.

"A man dies, and it is considered to be a death to fulfill my wish to unify the world." Zhao Qi said without caring about it. Although his decades have been hard, he has been free to get it and can do it again.

All things are profitable, so what else is not satisfied?

"Your Majesty revived the Song Dynasty and completed the great cause of unification. His name is from ancient times to the present, and he will definitely be famous in history." Chen Gou also said with interest, but what he said was the truth.

"Okay, no matter how you praise me, I can't live a hundred years of life. But I want to be famous for a lifetime, and the one in the city will be infamous for thousands of years!" Zhao Qi pointed at the city with a horse whip and said with a smile.

"Your Majesty, let's go back. The alarm bell has sounded in the city. The Jin soldiers have discovered us." Gao Chong saw the enemy's rushing around the city and shouted. It was obvious that the enemy saw the emperor exploring the city.

He hurriedly advised him worried that something would happen.

"It's okay, you see, the Jin army built a fort wall around the city, but the passage inside was very narrow and it was extremely difficult to enter and exit. Even if we used two legs to run, they couldn't catch up. But it was not easy for Wanyan Dan to run. I

I was rushing along the way, for fear that he would escape from the city in advance, otherwise it would be difficult for him to catch him if he crawled into the deep mountains and forests." Zhao Qi waved his hands and said confidently.

"Yes, the Jin people were simply confused. They built such a thing outside the city. Although they could limit our attack surface, they also trapped themselves in it. There was a army of kings coming. So how to enter the city, how to eat and grass?

Added, it’s like drawing a jail.” Zhao Yong said with a smile.

"We just need to surround the city and starve them to death within three months." Zhao Qiong said.

"Your Majesty, it may not take three months. Over the years, the Jin Dynasty was in great difficulty under our blockade and destruction. After losing the Central Plains, their food was barely enough to fill their stomachs. And the fields had just been in the Northern Expedition.

Sowing, they then implemented the strategy of urgent income fortresses. In order not to let us take food locally and destroy all the crops, several prefectures with large grains were also captured by us. Therefore, they had no grains of grains this year and no grains of rice were included.

The national treasury." Zhao Lian said. "But Huining City has a population of more than 300,000, and its own food cannot be self-sufficient. It depends entirely on the supply of other counties. The accumulated food alone will not exceed one month. Even if the Kuoli strategy is adopted,

It won't last long!"

"Oh, it seems that the Jurchens are really anxious and completely ignoring the consequences. If they really have to dig the embankment, wouldn't they submerge the entire Huining area? People can't come out and food can't be transported in. In the end, I'm afraid they can only

People cannibalize people." Gao Chong sighed. Fortunately, the navy immediately went up the river after conquering Xiangzhou, preventing the Jin army from breaking through the dike, otherwise they would not be able to stand under Huining City.

"The Jurchens are so crazy, it means they understand that it has reached the last moment, so they will fight to the death. The battle may be more tragic than all our previous battles. And their plan is to wait until the cold winter comes and let God force us.

Withdraw the troops to get a breather. Now it is August, and the snow is flying in September, and it is barely enough to make a calculation. If you successfully break the dike, it will freeze to ice, and nothing will be a problem." Zhao

Tatsuya thought about it and said.

"Your Majesty. Then we can prepare to attack the city and strive to enter Huining City to spend the winter before the cold winter comes." Zhao Yong said.

"Don't forget to fight the trapped beasts. Before dying, it would be a three-pointer. Our soldiers fought all the way here. It would be a pity if they died on the eve of victory." Zhao Qi shook his head and said, "Now the army has been fighting for more than a month in a row, so it should be

Have a good rest and make a decision after resting your energy."...

..............

At this time, the Song army's two armies met with more than 200,000 troops. Zhao Qi ordered the village three miles away from the city to surround the city, and the camp was stationed in the Jindi Palace ten miles south of the city. Now the weather is getting colder and the river water level is

After falling, he ordered to seize the time to transport food, grass and supplies, and then ordered the navy to return home with the seized spoils and wounded and sick people. For a moment, outside Huining City was crowded with people, cars and horses, and various materials were piled up.

At the same time, the Song army besieged the city also cut down wood and set up villages, rammed earth as walls, and built houses, as if they wanted to settle down here.

"Your Majesty, the Jin Kingdom sent envoys to seek peace. Will we continue to discuss peace with him?" Now Zhao Qi really regards this place as his home. He courts on time every day at Mao hour, while the civil and military ministers who followed him formed a temporary small court to deal with it.

Things sent to China require him to make decisions and discuss the current war.

"Your Majesty, I think there is no point in talking to them at this time. There is no need to talk to them anymore, right?" Zhao Yong felt very funny. Now that the Song army has hit their doorstep, I will withdraw my troops after a few words. Isn't this a joke?

!

"I also think it's unnecessary to talk. When we fought to Jinzhou, we asked them to cede Jinzhou, but the Jurchens refused to agree. Then they fought to Liaoyang Prefecture, and they agreed to cede Jinzhou, but we asked to cede Liaoyang Prefecture, but they didn't.

Yes, this time, he must have agreed to ced the Liaoyang Mansion. His Majesty must have asked to ced the Huining Mansion. How could they agree? This is their home, so how can we talk about it?" Ma Kuo spread his hands and said, and he

The words also made everyone in the palace burst into laughter.

"Your Majesty, Lord Ma is right. Peace negotiations are nothing more than bargaining, how many years old coins will be given in a year and how much land will be given in a year. Now the Jin Kingdom only has the small land of Huining City, which is how many years old coins can be given in scraping three feet of the ground.

How come the annual monies come from now on? You can't let Your Majesty raise troops to ask for them anymore!" Zhao Zhi also said. He understood very well that the emperor was no longer the little prince who had to be careful whenever Xiangyi spent money. Now the GDP of the Song Dynasty

With hundreds of millions of guan, the Jin Dynasty was already so poor that it was hard to collect 500,000 guan a year, and the emperor could not see this amount of money.

"You are all wrong, you still have to talk about it." Zhao Xiao smiled and said, "You must know that no one in this world wants to die, and no one hates war, especially at this time, they most desire that the war will be extinguished early, and there will be peace and harmony.

The Jurchens in the city will have fantasies, and then they will relax their combat readiness."

"Your Majesty is wise, what are our terms of peace talks?" Chen Gou's face twitched and praised. The emperor was so bad that he was still making fun of these poor people at this time.

"You still have to ask me what conditions were offered by the Jurchens when they arrived at the city of Bianjing. Isn't it enough to find them and replace them?" Zhao Qi said impatiently.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Chen Go replied loudly, his view of the emperor rose to another level. It is said that the emperor is kind and generous, but today it seems that he has always kept his grudges, but he likes it.

"Your Majesty, the Khitans who were rebelling in the Liaodong civil war have already surrendered under our use of both suppression and appeasement, but recently some Khitans have rebelled and have taken the banner of "restore Liao and protect Jin" to head towards Huining Prefecture." Military Information Department Shang Hu

The play starts again.

"Oh, there is such a thing? This is a bit strange. Their uprising was against the tyranny of the Jurchens. Now they are starting to rescue the troops, which can be found out the reason." Zhao Qiong touched his chin and said.

"Your Majesty, after receiving the report, I sent someone to investigate. An envoy from the Jin Kingdom had been in and out, but what he had talked about was hard to find out." Shang Hu replied.

"That's it. It must be that the Jin Kingdom promised a heavy bribe, or promised them that they could restore the country again. This condition was something that our dynasty could not agree, so they would help the Jurchens." Chen Go immediately figured it out.

Joint, speak.

"Well, the right prime minister's analysis is reasonable. The Jurchen tribe has experienced many years of war since the rebellion against Liao, and the population has dropped sharply. It can only strengthen itself by annexing other tribes. Even so, the population is less than one million. And the Khitans are destroying the country.

Later, it became the main force of the war. This time, it was because of excessive recruitment that led to the rebellion of the Khitans. Some of them wanted to use this to restore the country. Therefore, the conditions offered by the Jurchens really made them unable to refuse. The Jurchens lost Liaodong but saved the country.

, it is not a loss for it." Zhao Li nodded in agreement.

"It would be a bad idea if the Jurchens really agreed to let the Khitan restore the country. Now there are a large number of Khitans distributed in the northwest, Liaodong, and even Yanjing. If they join forces to rebel, it will cause a disaster. We have to divide our troops to fight. The Jurchens are now in the northwest, Liaodong, and even Yanjing.

This hand is so vicious." Gao Chong also said with some concern.

"Your Majesty, it's better for us to attack Huining City first and destroy the Jurchens. Then there is no way to discuss the conditions they promised the Khitans, and we can also send troops to fight." Zhao Yong said.

"We cannot only rely on force to deal with the Khitans. Once we completely rebel against them, not only will the Khitans in the northwest and Liaodong become enemies of us, but the Western Liao will also take advantage of the chaos to intervene. At that time, the entire Northwest will fall into chaos again.

The dynasty will fall into a situation of constant border troubles, so we must focus on recruiting and pacifying." Chen Gou did not agree with the fight against the Khitans by force.

"Erwa, you immediately lead the guards to attack Wuguotoucheng and bring Yelu Yanxi back to me alive. Remember that they are alive!" Zhao Qi suddenly stood up and said to Lei Zhenshan, the commander of the Guards beside him.

.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" Erwa didn't ask why at all, and agreed to receive the order and left.

"Yelu Yanxi?! Is Your Majesty trying to remove the firewood from the cauldron?" Chen Go exclaimed, suddenly remembering that the deposed Emperor Liao was still in the Jin Kingdom. Why is the Khitans not there under the banner of restoring the country? Although that bastard,

After all, it is orthodox. The Jurchens will definitely control him to coerce the Khitans to obey the orders. If they take the lead in controlling Yelu Yanxi, they will take the initiative. Even those Khitans with ulterior motives will greatly weaken their appeal.

"Your Majesty's brilliant plan, this will make the Khitans collapse!" Zhao Yong couldn't help but praise... (To be continued)
