The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Wanyan Zongfu led the defeated army to sleep in the open air, and fled back to Yanjing City in a panic. He was ashamed to see people and stayed away. Wanyan Xiyin gathered the remaining troops and called for a long time before he could meet them.

After hearing Wanyan Xiyin's report, Zong Fu couldn't help crying loudly. The nine teams of 10,000 people who came out of this battle were nearly 100,000, but nearly 50,000 people were lost in Zhuozhou, and two ten thousand men were lost.

There were hundreds of officers below, plus those who fled, only 30,000 returned to Yanjing. It can be said that the main force in Yanjing was completely destroyed.

"Deputy Commander, don't be sad. The military situation is urgent now, and we should put state affairs first!" Wanyan Xiyin also looked gloomy and sighed and persuaded.

"The Song army is coming fiercely. Now we are attacked on both sides and defeated again. How can Yanjing defend it? I feel ashamed of the emperor's trust!" After a while, Wanyan Zongfu stopped his sad voice and said.

"Deputy Commander, now we still have Yanjing City, with a high city and a deep trenches. How could the Song army easily capture it? Besides, the commander still has 100,000 soldiers in his hands, only 200 miles away from us, and it can be reached in an instant, and the court knows it.

We will definitely send troops to reinforce us!" Wanyan Xiyin saw Zongfu's pessimism and hurriedly enlightened him.

"Hmph, Grand Marshal..." Wu Shu would have given up. Now he didn't get angry when he heard this. "We asked him to return to his troops when Pingzhou was lost, but he had not sent any attacks.

A soldier and horse held Youyan in danger and led his troops to fight Datong in order to make meritorious service. Now the Song army is at the city, how can we count on us!"

"Deputy Commander, the army is floating on the battlefield. Maybe the commander has not received the news yet. Youyan is his foundation and is willing to give up easily. Now it is not the time to act in anger!" Wanyan Xiyin knew that Zongfu was full of resentment towards Wushu.

He was also very dissatisfied with what Wu Shu did. But now is not the time to rebel, so he still advised him. "Now our top priority is to ask the general and the court for help; the second is to strengthen city defense, recruit soldiers and hoard food and grass

, in case the Song army sieges the city!”

"Where has the Song army from the East Road reached now?" Zong Fu nodded and asked, knowing that what Wanyan Xiyin said was good.

"Deputy Commander, according to the investigation of the detective cavalry, the Song army's Eastern Route Army rushed forward day and night after capturing Pingzhou. Now the troops have reached Sunhouguan, fifty miles away. Civil strife occurred in Luanzhou, and the rioters killed the defending general Xiancheng; Jingzhou

The defender died in battle; there were only a thousand defenders in Yuyang City, but they were captured by the Song army. The governor committed suicide. The defender disappeared and Jizhou was lost. When the defender heard that the Song army had arrived, he knew that he was defeated and fled to Yan.

The capital city. Wherever the Song army passed, the wealthy families hunted and killed our dynasty officials and confiscated their property, causing the officials and the people to flee one after another!" Wanyan Xiyin said.

"Where is the Song army on the south road?" Even Wanyan Zongfu was through many battles. Hearing that the Song army quickly trapped the four states, he couldn't help but be surprised and asked in a trembling voice.

"After they conquered Zhuozhou, they did not stop the troops but chased them all the way. They stopped and rested until Liangxiang. I thought it was because of the lack of food and grass, so I waited for replenishment!" Wanyan Xiyin's face twitched and said in a low voice.

"It's only 60 miles from Liangxiang to Yanjing. It can be reached in one day. Now both Song troops have arrived, and it won't be long to attack the city!" Wanyan Zongfu lamented. Both of them and Wu Shu were too light on the enemy.

After all, he was caught in Zhao Er's treacherous plan. If he had learned that the Song army was gathering on the border, he would have increased troops to deal with it. Instead of letting the soldiers disarm and return home, he would not have temporarily drawn the army from Gezhou Prefecture when the Song army launched an attack.

, the troops in the rear were empty and would not be taken by Zhao Er, so he easily took Pingzhou and then rushed to the city of Yanjing within ten days.

Wanyan Zongfu was already aware of the crisis in Yanjing at this time. If he had not sent troops confidently to repel the enemy from the south but was determined to stand in his support, he would not have ended up now. But there was no medicine for regret in the world, and now he would have been

He could only cheer up and find a way to defend the city of Yanjing. So Zongfu ordered the re-enlistment of young and strong troops to join the army, strengthen the city defense, and send troops to plunder food and grass. At the same time, he sent several messengers to send letters to Wushu and Shangjing, asking for quick dispatch of reinforcements to help Yanjing.

Surrounding!

………

In fact, when Zong Fu sent a messenger to the court, Huining had already learned that the Song army had landed in Yingzhou. Yuguan was a key road inside and outside the pass, and it was also a commercial road. After the Song army occupied it, the traffic was immediately cut off.

So those business travelers who wanted to enter the pass immediately spread the news that Yuguan was occupied by the Song army to the capital. At this time, Zong Han, who was in charge of the government affairs, was shocked and immediately investigated, but where could he go, and the news there was also

It cannot be reported, but what is certain is that the news that Yuguan was occupied by the Song army is true.

The situation in Youyan was unclear, and Zong Han could not rashly send reinforcements. He could only explore again and discuss how to deal with it. However, at this time, there was an urgent report to the coastal prefectures and counties such as Jinzhou, Yaozhou, Ningzhou, Fuzhou, etc. were found.

The Southern Dynasty navy, they bombarded coastal towns and sent troops to occupy Jian'an City, as if they were going up the Liaohe River and captured Liaoyang Prefecture. Zong Han was convinced that Yingzhou had already captured the enemy, so the Song army succeeded from the sea.

Zong Han had a headache. Now the country seems calm, but in fact it is also undercurrents. Emperor Wu Qimai's condition is getting heavier and he has long stopped coming to the court. He has survived and does not breathe that much. The state affairs fell on Zuo Xiangzong Gan.

The Right Prime Minister Zonghan and the inner and outer commander Junzong themselves, but now there are three people and three minds. Zonggan is devoted to the prince Wanyan Dan, preparing to wait for Wu Qimai to help the prince ascend the throne after he dies. He is just enough to be Emperor Nian.

The young regent; Zong Ben was always dissatisfied with the loss of the throne and was determined to regain the throne. He took advantage of the opportunity to get close to the emperor to pass on the imperial edict, expanding his strength greatly, and interfering in the government.

Zong Han's position in the court became increasingly awkward. His power to speak without soldiers was greatly affected. He felt a little regretful about his first abandonment of military power. He could only indulge Wu Shu to develop to restrain Zong Ben's power. But Wu Shu followed him

The increase in power also disobeyed his words. Fortunately, Emperor Wu Qimai still trusted him very much and asked him to preside over the government. However, Zongben was very strict with him and did not allow him to interfere in the army.

But Zonghan was not a sloppy person, so how could he sit and see his power be deprived of little by little? So he promoted the Khitans who surrendered to the Jin Dynasty in the name of the emperor's reform of the etiquette system and used Han officials. The Jurchen population decreased and the soldiers were

Supplementing difficulties as an excuse to form the Han army, appoint Han generals, and cultivate their own confidants to fight against the other two forces in the court, so that after the emperor returns to heaven, he can remain unrest in the court...

"Everyone, the Southern Dynasty suddenly sent troops to occupy Yingzhou and blocked Yuguan. It also sent troops to harass the coastal prefectures and counties in Liaodong, but no news came from Yanjing. The emperor asked everyone to come up with a charter to make a decision!" The matter was urgent.

Zong Han did not dare to neglect the summoning of several important officials in the court to discuss matters. In addition to Zong Gan and Zong Ben, there were two Han officials, one was Han Qixian, a surrendered minister from the Liao Kingdom, and the other was Yuwen Xuzhong of the Song Dynasty.

"Nianhan, is the news of the landing in the Southern Dynasty's self-investment prefecture reliable?" Zong Gan looked at Zong Han in confusion and asked.

"Woben, the Song army occupied Yuguan, and when the merchants discovered it, they told the government that the local garrison had sent troops to attack. They were all defeated, so they asked for help from the court!" Zong Han said with a smile, but he was not very happy.

It was comfortable. In the past, everyone used to call each other "nicknames" and seemed intimate. Now everyone has identities and still calls around like this. Wouldn't he lose his identity and return it back?

"Yingzhou and Nanjing are so close, we all know. Wouldn't Wushu not know? It would be a joke to send troops from the court to support him!" Zong Ben said in surprise, but the kind he had in his words

Anyone can hear the mocking tone.

"A few days ago, there was news in Nanjing that the Southern Dynasties sent troops to attack the border and harass Ruzhou, attacked Juyongguan, and crossed the Border River to enter Yizhou. Did the Southern Dynasties launch a large number of troops and Wushu led troops from Nanjing to reinforce. This was because the Southern Dynasties took advantage of the loopholes?

!" Zong Ben said after hearing this, he took a sip of tea.

"Haha, there are tens of thousands of soldiers in Youyan area. There are also heavenly punishments and dangerous passes. Even if the Southern Dynasty suddenly uses troops, it will not be impossible to send out any news. Who knows if Wu Shu is damning something again!" Zong Ben smiled dryly and smiled dryly.

Say.

"This..." Zong Gan was speechless for a moment and looked at him with anger. In fact, this is indeed abnormal according to what ordinary people think, but what Zong Ben said is not false. In the past two years, Wu Shu intercepted it on the grounds whenever he paid taxes.

Everyone knows that taxes are just no one to point out. Today, the sect principal is exposed, which makes it embarrassing to the Zonggan who maintains Wushu.

"I thought it was not that Wu Shu didn't report it, but that the Song army had already planned and suddenly sent troops to capture Yingzhou and cut off the news from both places. Wu Shu led his troops outside, and I'm afraid that it would not only Yingzhou, but Nanjing was also in danger!" At this time, Han Qixian had just started

Suddenly he interrupted, and his words were shocking, and everyone looked at him.

Han Qixian, a native of Yanjing, Liao, and was born in a family of officials. His ninth generation ancestor Han Zhi was appointed as the Zhongshu Ling in ancient times. He lived in Liucheng alone and was prominent in many generations. He became a Jinshi during the Qiantong period of Liao Dynasty. In the sixth year of Jin Tianfu, he surrendered to Jin from Zhongjing and was

Taizu Aguda appointed the deputy commander of the Privy Councillor's Office of the West Road, and then served as the transfer envoy, and appointed the position of the Xijing left behind. Later, Liu Yanzong died in the three invasions of the Song Dynasty. He served as the Minister of the Central Secretariat, Pingzhang, and the Minister of the Privy Council.

In 2019, he was recruited to Huining, Shangjing and entered the court, and was promoted to the Minister of Shangshu Zuo Pushe and Shizhong.

Because Korean companies first understand classics and history, they know the stories of previous generations, "sometimes they have made compromises because of the reforms." Every time they choose people for officials, they specialize in cultivating and rewarding the backwards as their mission, so that the Jin regime "has many gentlemen in Taiwan Province for a while" often go to

Emperor Wu Qi bought advice and filled in the gaps, thus winning the respect and praise of the Jurchen nobles. People called him "virtuous prime minister" and were named Duke of Chu. His words were very important.

"What Lord Han said is reasonable. Zhao Er has always been cunning. He secretly dispatched troops in the name of negotiations, pretending to attack Juyongguan and Yizhou to transfer the Nanjing army. He took advantage of the emptiness of Nanjing's troops and secretly sent the navy to land in Yingzhou and attack Yuguan to cut off the severance of the severance of the troops in Nanjing.

The news made it impossible for military information to be transmitted to the capital!" Zong Gan nodded and said that he was.

"According to Lord Han, what is the purpose of sending troops to Yingzhou in the Southern Dynasty?" Zong Ben asked with some dissatisfaction. Yingzhou is thousands of miles away from the Song Dynasty. It is impossible for a lonely army to go deeper and go on a trip!

"The situation in Nanjing is unclear now, and I can't judge, but there are only two things!" Han Qi pondered for a moment, "The Southern Dynasty has coveted Yanjing for a long time, and occupied Yingzhou to cut off the aids outside the pass, and then sent heavy troops from Hebei to capture Youyan;

Furthermore, it is intended to use naval troops to invade Shangjing on a large scale. If Shangjing is lost, Yanjing will become an isolated land and will be destroyed without attacking and both places will be obtained!"

"As Lord Han said, the Song army had the intention of attacking Liaodong and taking directly to Beijing. Why did the Song army naval army just send small groups of people to land and harass, but did not land in large quantities!" Zong Han asked, if the Song army suddenly came to an end,

When I went to Beijing, I had someone to hold a nest, and the joke was so big.

"This is the secret of military tactics. The Song army has not landed in Liaodong for a long time. Instead, we will send troops to reinforce after we learn that Yingzhou has fallen. They can take advantage of the opportunity to seize Shangjing again!" Zong Ben said with a sneer.

But he thought in his heart that Wu Shu was becoming more and more disobedient, so he would ask the Southern Dynasty to teach him some lessons, but he didn't believe that the Southern Dynasty would dare to launch an attack in Liaodong.

"In my opinion, it is a false attack on Liaodong, and it is a true capture of Yanjing. Now the weather is getting colder and the coast is frozen. How can the navy go to the dock and how can we get supplemented? It should be that the feint attack on Liaodong makes us dare not send troops to aid easily.

!” Zong Gan said loudly, sneering in his heart that your buddies have never been on the battlefield, but they have dropped their books and talked about the secrets of military tactics.

"Hmph, don't forget that the rebel A Shu had colluded with the Southern Dynasties and is now entrenched in western Liaoning. As long as the Song army landed in Liaodong, he would respond!" Zong Ben also blushed and said...
