Biography of the traitorous officials who dominated the Song Dynasty

Chapter 240 The Flood Overwhelms the City
For the next two days, it rained continuously.

O Libu and Jin Wushu looked at the dense rain curtain outside the door, their hearts already feeling cold.

Jin Wushu saw that the situation was now unfavorable to Dai Jin, so he said nothing to Onli: "It really can't be done. We will withdraw our troops first and return to our hometown in the northeast. After this huge flood has passed, we can go south to attack the Song Dynasty." .”

Oli didn't hear the words and frowned. Just as he was about to speak, Jin Wushu quickly took over the conversation.

He continued: "At that critical time, spring has probably already begun and the flowers are blooming. Come to think of it, with the cold weather and freezing conditions now, even without this huge flood, it would be difficult to conquer Bianliang City."

As soon as he finished speaking, Yi Libu grabbed Jin Wushu's collar tightly.

He said anxiously: "Do you dare to disobey the Holy Majesty's will? This time we will go south to attack Song Dynasty again. The Holy Majesty has already told us before coming here that we must complete the five-year plan!"

Jin Wushu understood what the five-year plan that Wan Libu was referring to was. As mentioned earlier, Jin Taizong Wanyan Wu Qimai had already planned it in his mind.

First the Song Dynasty was annexed, then Dali was destroyed, and then Tubo and Xixia were destroyed. It was not until five years later that the Jin Dynasty unified the nine states and brought peace to the world.

This incident is firmly remembered in the hearts of everyone in the Dajin Jurchen royal family.

Especially the two current gods of war, O Libu and Jin Wushu, even keep the time limit of "five years" in their hearts all the time, and never dare to forget it.

But if we withdraw our troops and return to our hometown in the Northeast at this time, it is estimated that the five-year plan will probably not be completed.

You know, it is only November now. With the troops withdrawing back to their hometown in the Northeast at this time, it will be at least four months before they can go south to attack the Song Dynasty again.

The reason is very simple. Bianliang City is located in Henan, which is relatively south compared to the northeast.

The Northeast has four distinct seasons, and there are probably only three months of the year when spring is truly warm, flowers are blooming, and birds are singing and the flowers are fragrant.

For the rest of the time, almost all of them were spent in the freezing weather.

Based on this, it will take at least four months after returning to my hometown in the Northeast before sending troops south to attack the Song Dynasty again.

Once this decision was taken, it would invisibly give Song Dynasty a chance to cultivate its vitality.

So, it was impossible for Yi Li to obey Jin Wushu's wishes no matter what.

Jin Wushu became anxious. He pointed at the pouring rain outside and said urgently: "Take a closer look. How can we control such a heavy rain?"

"Besides, the water of the Yellow River is about to pour into Bianliang City. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Ji, has let it go two days ago. He is ready to open the city gate at any time and fight to the death with us."

"If we don't withdraw our troops, do we, Dajin, really want to compete with the Song Dynasty on the water?"

Jin Wushu bit the words "compete on the water" to death, and he emphatically reminded Wu Libu that when fighting on land, Dajin is invincible and unrivaled.

But once on the water, Daikin's decline became apparent.

I think when they first arrived at the bank of the Yellow River, the soldiers of Dajin looked at the 14 Song Dynasty defenders on the other side, and they were actually already beating in their hearts.

Of course, although the final result was that Dajin beat the war drum all night and frightened all the 14 Song Dynasty defenders into fleeing without a trace.

However, one thing is beyond doubt.

At that time, the soldiers of Dajin looked at the vast water of the Yellow River, and their hearts were filled with ups and downs. They all had no idea.

At this time, Jin Wushu actually knelt down on the spot and said anxiously: "Second brother, I am here today. I will call you Second Brother, and evacuate as soon as possible!"

Oli Bu's expression turned cold, and he pointed at Jin Wushu's nose and said, "I can tell you, you should weigh this matter carefully in your heart. You must be able to understand the pros and cons!"

Having said that, Yi Li left without batting an eyelid.

Jin Wushu was left in despair, kneeling on the ground, speechless and choked.Sure enough, just as the civil and military officials in the Song Dynasty had thought, at midnight that night, the water of the Yellow River poured into Bianliang City.

In just an hour and a half, the outer city of Bianliang and the inner city of Bianliang were all soaked by the water of the Yellow River.

Emperor Huizong immediately ordered that the three armies immediately opened the city gates and launched the first fierce attack on the outer city of Bianliang.

Since the Song-Jin War, this was the first time that the Song Dynasty took the initiative to send troops to attack the Jin army.

The Jin army was caught off guard. The Jin army was not good at water battles, and now they had to fight hard against the Song army in the water of the Yellow River.

Throughout the night, the Jin army suffered terribly, and it could be said that they were attacked from both sides.

Countless times, the Jin Army wanted to surrender with their hands raised, but the Song Army did not give the Jin Army a chance at all and continued to attack all the way.

At the end of the fight, Jin Jun almost used all his strength to maintain the situation at a relatively stable level.

After this battle, the decline of the Jin Army began to show, and the weakness of the Jin Army lies here.

He used his own shortcomings to compete with Song Jun's strengths.

This battle did not stop until dawn the next day.

The Jin Army suffered heavy losses. Although the Song Army also caused a large number of casualties, it was really nothing compared to the Jin Army.

The most important thing is that the Song army recovered one-third of the outer city of Bianliang.

Of course, at the moment, this huge victory seems to be nothing to celebrate at all.

Because the problem currently facing Song Dynasty can be said to be impossible to solve.

The water of the Yellow River continuously poured into the inner city of Bianliang from outside Bianliang City. Soon, Emperor Huizong almost ran out of places to go to court.

When the officials walked into the court, they saw that there was no way to start. Water from the Yellow River had already poured into the palace.

Earl Ying and Cai Jing stood together. They looked at each other and smiled helplessly.

"Are your shoes wet too? How wet are they?"

Earl Ying asked softly towards Cai Jing.

"Half of it, right? No...maybe more than half of it is wet already!"

Cai Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

Earl Ying laughed tremblingly, pointed at Li Gang, Zhang Hongxia and other adults, and said: "Brother Cai, look at the others, they are not much better."

Cai Jing looked in the direction of Earl Ying's finger and saw that the rest of the people were jumping up and down and swaying here and there because of the water on the ground.

For a moment, Cai Jing couldn't help laughing, covered his mouth and said with a trembling smile: "This is still up, each of them is clearly holding on in the pool that has not yet been filled!"

Earl Ying couldn't stop laughing when he heard what he said.

Emperor Huizong's face was ashen. He stayed up all night yesterday. On the one hand, he was always paying attention to the battle on the front line. On the other hand, he was constantly dealing with the water of the Yellow River pouring in from outside Bianliang City.

In other words, after so many years have passed since Emperor Huizong ascended the throne, even when he was previously King Duan, he had never suffered this crime!
