Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 239 A rare flood in five years
Emperor Huizong was sitting on the dragon chair, looking at the civil and military officials of the court below, his whole body covered in cold sweat.

One group of people felt that they should evacuate Bianliang City as soon as possible, while the other group of people felt that they should use their tactics to fight the Jin army to the death.

Any decision makes sense.

Inevitably, Emperor Huizong once again fell into a dilemma.

Earl Ying kept frowning and said nothing. In fact, he was thinking about a difficult problem.

That is, maybe Heaven really has the virtue of a good life, thinking that Bianliang City has been surrounded by the Jin army for several days, and there is no way to break through life or death.

Therefore, a strange rain fell from the sky, causing the situation of the war between Song and Jin to change dramatically overnight.

It is said that the Jin army is all cavalry, and the few infantry are all composed of Han and Bohai people.

The Song Dynasty was different. Due to the limitations of the Song Dynasty's territory, many soldiers in the Song Army were sailors.

Just think about it, once the battlefield is moved to the water, I believe that the golden army's iron horses will not be of much use.

Compared with most of the Song army who are good at water warfare, the Jin army is really nothing.

Earl Ying thought of this section, and Cai Jing, Gao Qiu and others had actually thought of this section as well.

However, it would be too risky to rely on this idea to decide to use the plan to fight the Jin army to the death in the sudden flood.

This is what talking on paper means.

Although the comparison is based on imagination, if it were a decisive battle with the Jin army in the flood, the Song Dynasty would have a high probability of winning.

However, this is just imagination.

You know, there have been so many wars between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and they have always been on land. Until now, there has never been a water war.

Of course, before the Jin Army went south for the second time, the Song Dynasty originally had an opportunity to compete with the Jin Army on the water.

That was the time when the Jin army went all the way south to the edge of the Yellow River and beat war drums all night on the edge of the Yellow River. The 14 Song troops guarding the Yellow River were so frightened that they ran away without a trace.

If the 14 Song troops had insisted on fighting the Jin army on the bank of the Yellow River, I believe they would have suffered great losses.

The soldiers who participated in that water battle will surely leave their names throughout the ages.

It is a pity that after dawn that day, not a single one of the 14 Song troops guarding the Yellow River was left. In this way, a rare opportunity to have a battle with the Jin army on the water was missed.

Just when the civil and military officials in the Great Song Dynasty were full of hesitation, another shocking news came from outside.

The water of the Yellow River has now reached Longcheng. In less than one morning, the inside and outside of Longcheng were completely soaked by the water of the Yellow River, and Longcheng was completely destroyed.

As soon as Emperor Huizong and the civil and military officials heard the news, they were shocked.

You must know that Dragon City has been an important place in the Central Plains since the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. After Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin established the Song Dynasty, the kings of later generations have been carefully building Dragon City from beginning to end.

Dragon City was so destroyed by the water of the Yellow River. It can be said that it has not experienced such a huge change in thousands of years.

Everyone gradually pulled away from the shocking thoughts, and a terrible fact immediately appeared in their minds.

That is, in three or four days at most, the water of the Yellow River will inevitably reach Bianliang City.

By then, it's too late to say anything.

The civil and military officials of the Manchu Dynasty asked Your Majesty to make a quick decision on whether to run or to defend.

Earl Ying couldn't bear it anymore, and jumped out from between Cai Jing and Gao Qiu.Kneeling quickly on the ground, he said to Emperor Huizong: "Your Majesty, there are many sailors in our Great Song Army. This battle must be fought!"

Cai Jing and Gao Qiu looked dazed for a while and looked at each other. Then they quickly knelt on the ground along with Count Ying and said to Emperor Huizong: "This is a good opportunity that we will never see in a hundred years. We must fight!"

Emperor Huizong's brows were deeply furrowed, and his eyes became more and more solemn. After a long time, and a long time after that, the Holy Emperor gritted his teeth and said: "At any time, open the city gates, fight to the death with the Jin army, and recapture the outer city of Bianliang!"

As soon as these words came out, the civil and military officials in the court were in high spirits.

At this time, the decisive battle is about to come, and this battle directly determines the life and death of Da Song.

Most of the people in Bianliang City have already made plans to flee Bianliang City as soon as possible, because when the water of the Yellow River comes, no one will survive.

Not to mention what the battle between Song and Jin will be like in the end. No matter how powerful you are, you will not be able to withstand the water of the Yellow River.

However, as the saying goes, people will suffer when they are prospered and people will suffer when they die. The current situation cannot be controlled by the people in Bianliang City.

When all the countries in the world learned that the Song Dynasty would soon open the gates of the inner city of Bianliang and take the initiative to start a war with the Jin army, the monarchs of all countries acted as if they were watching the show intently.

At this time, Olibu and Jin Wushu were sitting in the military tent, feeling extremely complicated.

Everyone in the world knows that the water of the Yellow River is about to pour into Bianliang City, and the symbolic meaning of this shocking rain, which is rare in 500 years, is very vast.

In Jin Taizong's vision of Wanyan Wu Qingbu, Dajin was bound to unify all nine states.

The Song Dynasty was the first stop for the Jin army to unify the country.

I originally thought that it would take at least one year to annex the entire territory of the Song Dynasty.

Even if some uncontrollable changes occur during this period, the originally envisioned time will not change.

After the annexation of the Song Dynasty, Dali, which was further south, followed. Looking south from Shangjing of the Jin Kingdom, Dali had the largest territory among the southern countries except the Song Dynasty.

Of course, compared with Dali, Dali is not even a star.

Whether it is land area or military reserves, they are not of the same magnitude at all.

To make a digression, even if this is the case, it actually does not show the power of the Song Dynasty.

For a hundred years, on the battlefield, the word "powerful" has never had anything to do with the Song Dynasty.

It's just that compared to Dali, Song Dynasty was a little stronger.

Swallow the Song Dynasty first, then destroy Dali, and then defeat Tubo and Xixia in one fell swoop.

This huge military concept should be completed in five years.

Five years later, Dajin unified all the countries in the world and unified the nine states, becoming the first country to unify the nine states since the Sui and Tang Dynasties.

No one expected that at this juncture, the inner city of Bianliang would be defeated in one fell swoop.

Completely annexing seventy-eight percent of the territory of the Song Dynasty.

Suddenly, a strange rain, which was rare in 500 years, washed away the dams of the Yellow River, causing the water of the Yellow River to flow continuously from north to south to the south.

The original military deployment within the Jin Kingdom has been disrupted, and the original wonderful idea of ​​unifying the nine states now needs to be completely reorganized.

From this perspective, it can be said to be shocking news for Daikin.
