The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 218 Famous Scene

After Han Shizhong came out of the Ministry of War, he ordered 500 men and horses in the Tianwu Army and left the city.

On the way to send the official family back to the palace, Li Bangyan was worried: "The official family, 500 people, will it be a little less?"

Zhao Fujin was also worried, but what she worried about was not whether there were too few people when Han Shizhong led 500 people to fight the rebellion. What she worried about was: Can we avoid the famous scenes in history?

Since the Jin Army's second southern invasion, whether intentional or unintentional on both sides, things that were supposed to happen and situations that were supposed to be created seem to have happened unexpectedly. Some have changed time and place, and some are almost the same as the gods of history. Synchronize.

For example, the time and place when the Jin army sent troops.

For example, Xiao Zhonggong, who shouldn't have appeared originally, appeared.

Another example is that Zhao Huan, who originally had no chance to perform tricks, also achieved the achievement of "inciting rebellion against the golden general".

Even the ten battalions that "rebelled" this time, except for Zhai Jin's battalion of Western troops, the remaining nine teams were all soldiers from Zizhou and Qingzhou, and they were about to rebel once.

If these famous scenes will come, will the biggest famous scene in the entire Jingkang period also be avoided?

How could Zhao Fujin not be worried?

She thought again of the historical question that had been debated for half a century: did people create history, or did history summon the people who could create it?

If people created history, the situation should not be like this.

If history wants to summon the people who created it, then does it count as being summoned by history? And what kind of ending does it want?
For the first time, Zhao Fujin felt that chance was the strongest tool of the giant of history, and it was impossible for a small human being to control every accidental event, and neither could she, Zhao Fujin.

For example, the reason why the Tenth Battalion suddenly mutinied.

For example, Tang Ke's stone.

……

……

500 people took advantage of the chaos and left the city without anyone noticing.

Han Shizhong originally wanted to lead these 500 people to attack the camps one by one, capture the commanders of each battalion and take them back to Kaifeng to find out what happened, but Zhao Fujin said that he could not do it.

Han Shizhong didn't believe it before leaving the city, but now he believes it.

How can any "rebel" obediently stay at his original station and wait to die?

The more than 3 people retreated from Nanxunmen and did not return to the camp individually. The ten generals gathered together. Originally they just wanted to force the court and invite the officials out, but they did not really want to rebel. But after such a fight , although he only shot a few arrows, his nature has completely changed.

So there are only two roads before them now.

One: Lead the army to withdraw to Qingcheng, and join Wanyan Zongwang to help the king and save the official family.

Two: Withdraw from Kaifeng, cross the river and go north, recharge your batteries and wait for the opportunity.

Zhai Jin absolutely did not agree to evacuate to Qingcheng. Although he was now convinced that the Guan family was imprisoned by Emperor Daojun and King Bi, he did not believe that Wanyan Zongwang was really here to save the Guan family.

In his opinion, the Jin army just wanted to take advantage of the situation.

If he joins forces with the Jin army, not only will he not be able to save the official family, but he will actually become a traitorous general of the Song Dynasty, which he cannot accept.

However, Li Fu, deputy commander of the Qingzhou Army, felt that time was not waiting for him. Without food and grass supplies after retreating north, he would die sooner or later, so he might as well just invest money and forget it.

While everyone was arguing, a scout came to report: "Five miles away to the south, the imperial imperial army was found moving towards here."

The generals were shocked: "Could it be that the imperial court sent troops to clear it out?"

Zhai Jin frowned and asked, "How many people and horses?"

The scout himself felt embarrassed and whispered: "Three to five hundred people."

When Li Fu heard this, he was happy: "Three to five hundred? Hahaha, I will go and meet them later!"

After that, Li Fu stood up and left. Zhai Jin warned from behind: "General Li, don't make the matter bigger."

Li Fu did not answer, snorted coldly, and thought in his mind: "The Jin army is difficult to stop, and the court is still in such chaos now, why not just invest money, and you will enjoy wealth and honor wherever you go."

Li Fu ordered his three thousand soldiers and horses and headed south. He thought that if he could kill the general, he would not only force Zhai Jin and others to follow him to invest gold, but also give Wanyan Zongwang a certificate of investment. So he didn't intend to talk properly in the first place.

The moonlight is bright and clear, and the outside of Kaifeng is flat.

Not long after, Li Fu saw the team of only 500 people.

Immediately, he ordered the formation to be laid out, and he took the lead and stood in front of the formation: "Is the court crazy? How dare hundreds of people come to suppress us?"

Han Shizhong was riding his horse and holding a gold-plated tiger head spear. He glanced at Li Fu with squinted eyes and said with a smile: "Han Shizhong, the minister of the Ministry of Military Affairs, what kind of army and general are you? Tell me your name."

Hearing the words Minister of the Ministry of War, Li Fu was not afraid, but looked particularly excited: "Minister of the Ministry of War? Ha, this certificate is enough to replace him as a general in the Jin Army!"

Seeing that Li Fu refused to sign up, Han Shizhong sighed: "Well, tell me, why did you start a rebellion and besiege Nanxun Gate?"

Li Fu sneered: "Why? Go down and ask the King of Hell!"

After saying that, he clamped his stirrups and the horse rushed towards Han Shizhong like the wind.

The reason why he was so arrogant was because Han Shizhong had to cut off his head with his own hands, so that when he showed it to Wanyan Zongwang, he could show how awesome he was.

Han Shizhong never expected that there would be a master more aggressive than himself?

He just came to talk to these rebel generals, but he didn't expect them to talk with their heads?
Han Shizhong's heart sank: "It seems that there is really a rebellion."

Thinking about it, his subordinates were not vague at all. Seeing Li Fu's attack, a broadsword slashed across the face. Han Shizhong leaned back on his horse, and the blade passed by his face, barely dodging the attack. .

Li Fu reined in the horse's reins, turned its head, and spat to the side: "Bah, there are two times."

Han Shizhong didn't turn around at all, turned his back to Li Fu and said with a smile: "I just ask you, do you dismount and surrender, or do you want to die here?"

Li Fu laughed and said, "Death? I'm still waiting to take your head to Qingcheng in exchange for military merit."

As soon as he said this, Han Shizhong was even more sure that this group of rebels was instigated by the Jin Army. In this case...

Li Fu rode his horse forward again and struck Han Shizhong hard on the back of his head.

But the blade stopped three inches away from the back of Han Shizhong's head. Li Fu's face was distorted. When he lowered his head, he saw that the gold-plated tiger head gun had penetrated into his chest. He never figured out where the gun came from until his death. , which angle it was stabbed at.

Han Shizhong still didn't look back. He stared calmly at the rebels who had already taken a posture on the opposite side and said coldly: "Fire the arrow!"

For a moment, the five hundred Tianwu troops withdrew their swords and replaced their crossbows, and a hail of arrows rained down. Before the other side could react, there was a howl of ghosts and wolves. Han Shizhong withdrew his spear and reined in his horse: "Surrender or die?"

The enemy on the other side did not surrender or die, but turned around and ran. The defeated army of 3000 people rushed like a tide towards the temporary stationing position of the [-]th Battalion.

These defeated troops ran and shouted: "General Li is dead, run!"

The famous scene in history has arrived.

Han Shizhong led 3 Tianwu troops in pursuit, while [-] people from the [-]th Battalion ran in front.

Later generations could not understand at all how Han Shizhong achieved such a desperate ratio of [-] vs. [-].

Looking at the history of ancient and modern wars, people who can win with this ratio, even if they exist, are rare, and they may only do it once in their lives.

But Han Shizhong is different. He is used to it. He has done this kind of thing to an unprecedented extent. He has never fought a battle for wealth in his life.

They chased until dawn. They were tired of running and chasing, so they camped on the spot and made a fire to cook.

The defeated soldiers of the tenth battalion were carrying their rice bowls when they saw a man on horseback rushing into the camp. The man on the horse looked at everyone with disdain: "Tell your general to come out and speak!"

Zhai Jin was the first to rush out. He looked up and said, "Po Han... Minister Han?"

Han Shizhong was also stunned: "Zhai Jin?"

Both of these men had served in the Western Army, and had fought side by side during the battle against Xixia, so they knew each other well.

Zhai Jin now finally understood why Li Fu died.

Doesn't that make sense?

When meeting Han Shizhong on the battlefield, the best way is not to appear in his sight, otherwise no matter who it is, the ending will not be good.This thing... splashes!

Just as Han Shizhong was about to ask Zhai Jin why he also followed the rebellion, the commanders of the other battalions had already surrounded him and were at war with each other.

Zhai Jin raised his hand and explained: "This is the Minister of War, Han Shizhong."

As soon as they heard that the Minister of War was coming in person, these generals put away their weapons one after another, their faces full of grievance and anger.

Han Shizhong looked at the expressions of the generals and wondered: "Why are you all so damn aggrieved when you start a rebellion?"

In the tent, these generals poured out their bitter opinions.

"The defenders are throwing rolling stones at us. There's nothing we can do..."

"Shilang Han, we just want the court to give an explanation..."

"That's right, rumors have spread throughout this period. If there are no officials here, what will happen to Kaifeng? What will happen to the Song Dynasty?"

……

……

Han Shizhong finally understood.

The officers and soldiers of these ten battalions are completely loyal and patriotic.

only……

In order to catch Wanyan Zonghan, an old loach, the officials acted too realistically. In addition, Wanyan Zongwang forged official handwritten documents and sent Xiao Zhonggong to lobby around. This made the officers and soldiers of the tenth battalion unable to distinguish the real from the fake and caused a scene. This is a mistake.

Han Shizhong thought to himself that if he had not been spoiled by the officials early on, he would most likely have rushed directly into the Prince's Palace and Longde Palace.

"Servant Han, what's the situation in the official family?" Zhai Jin asked anxiously.

Han Shizhong can't give any spoilers at this time. If the news leaks and ruins the official plan, he can only sigh: "Hey, this matter is complicated and I can't explain it in a few words. But don't worry, generals, the official family will be lucky." We are protected by the Heavenly Prime Minister, myself and the two Prime Ministers, and nothing can be changed by Heaven."

After hearing this, the generals felt a lot more relieved, although they were still murmuring in their hearts.

"Since Minister Han said so, then I'll wait..."

Zhai Jin was stunned. He wanted to stop the matter and lead his troops back to the station.

But when the words came to my lips, they felt inappropriate.

After such a big incident, I don't know how the court will convict him.

Han Shizhong saw his worries and comforted him: "Although this matter has become a big deal, all the generals have good intentions. After I return, I will explain to the court. As for the brothers who died in this matter, you Everyone makes a booklet, and the Ministry of War will distribute the pension according to the booklet, just a little more."

All the generals nodded upon hearing this.

"Servant Han, shall I lead the army back to the base, or..."

As soon as he finished speaking, the scout came to report: "Report, ten miles to the south, Jin Army cavalry was found. Visual estimate is more than [-] people."

All the generals stood up and looked at Han Shizhong.

Han Shizhong frowned and thought: "Everyone, listen to me."

When Yeluyu saw the ten generals in the tent, he cupped his hands and sighed: "You should inform our army that it was unwise to attack the city last night."

Zhai Jin came forward and said, "The matter has come to this. We have no way to go now. Last night, elite forbidden troops were sent out from the city to chase us all the way."

Yelu Yujian held Zhai Jin's hand and patted it: "This general came here. When he saw the mess along the way, he already knew where the elite of the Song Army are now?"

Zhai Jin shook his head: "I think they have already evacuated. We are discussing whether we should simply vote for Commander Zong Wang..."

Yeluyu was startled when he saw it, and then laughed loudly: "If you generals were willing to vote, you could have made the decision for Commander Zong Wang!"

Zhai Jin sighed and looked at everyone, as if asking.

Seeing that no one objected, Zhai Jin cupped his hands and said, "We are willing to vote!"

After that, he pointed at everyone and introduced them to Yelu Yujian one by one: "Liu Jin, the commander of the third battalion of the Zizhou Army, and Zhang Maocai, the commander of the North Jingdong Road... This is Li Fu, the deputy commander of the Qingzhou Army. "

Yelu Yujian nodded, and when he looked at "Li Fu", Yelu Yujian was obviously startled. He thought that this man was very heroic and had a stern look on his face, so he should be a good general. Yelu Yujian patted " "Li Fu" shoulder: "After meeting Commander Zong Wang, follow me."

"Li Fu" handed over his hand: "Thank you, General, for your cultivation!"

Their eyes met, and their emotions were complicated and difficult to express.

After that, Yelu Yujian discussed with everyone again that he would return to the Qingcheng camp first, and then send troops to respond to prevent the surrendered troops from being surrounded and killed by the Song army again.

After Yelu Yujian left, Zhai Jin was a little worried: "What if our soldiers are scattered and reorganized after the surrender?"

Han Shizhong smiled and said, "Probably not."

Han Shizhong felt that since Wanyan Zongwang claimed that he had received a handwritten letter from Zhao Fujin and came to help, he would not be so anxious to recruit the surrendered troops. At most, he would wait until the future attack on the city to let these surrendered troops fight first. Formation to sharpen the morale of the defenders.

In the Qingcheng camp, Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed when he heard that [-] Song troops were coming to surrender.

Wanyan Zongbi reminded: "Then we have 3 more people with food rations?"

Yelu Yujian explained: "The general asked, these ten battalions have just received food and grass supplies from Song Ting. We don't need to worry about the food rations."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded with satisfaction, then looked at Xiao Zhonggong: "Is there anything wrong?"

Xiao Zhonggong stroked his long beard and said with a smile: "Last night's battle has ensured that these ten battalions will not surrender. From now on, the commander-in-chief only needs to insist that we are going south this time to help Zhao Fujin secure the throne. These [-] fresh troops, When we attack the city in the future, we can use it as a vanguard. Even if we can't chew a piece of meat, we can still tear some skin."

Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "That's it, let the messengers go to Taiyuan again to urge the Western Route Army. I don't know what Zong Han is waiting for. He's just whining!"

……

……

At Akihito Palace, Zhao Fujin finally figured out all the strange things that happened during this period.

The grand strategy is correct.

The details are random but uncontrollable.

I just thought about how to make the play more realistic and let Wanyan Zonghan, an old loach, get into the trap obediently. But I didn't expect that when a thousand people watch the play, a thousand Hamlets will pop out.

In this game, everyone will have different ideas and therefore take different actions.

Wanyan Zongwang thought of using this to instigate rebellion, the officers and soldiers of the Tenth Battalion thought of protecting the officials first, and Tang Ke and others thought of the great change in the situation of the court, and hurriedly lined up to seek favor.

Can the situation not be chaotic?It’s weird if it’s not chaotic!
Fortunately, Han Shizhong's trip not only stabilized the situation, but also placed a special force beside Zong Wang. After that, he only needed to remind the king not to listen to the tricks of Tang Ke and others, and just quietly be a Idiot, just rule by doing nothing, and then quietly wait for Wanyan Zonghan to send troops to Kaifeng.

"Haha, Wanyan Zongwang isn't stupid. He knows how to plan according to the situation, and even forges my handwriting. He is considered a talent." Zhao Fujin leaned on the imperial concubine's couch and smiled.

Yelu Yuliyan on the side pursed his lips and smiled: "Maybe he means it from the heart?"

Zhao Fujin was stunned and looked at Yelu Yuliyan with a puzzled expression: "Save me?"

Yelu Yuliyan spread his hands, smiled and walked out.

Ten days later, November 25.

The 3 Song troops asked to surrender. This was something Wanyan Zonghan never expected. It was unreasonable.

But after the Eastern Route Army messengers informed them of the recent events in Kaifeng City, Wanyan Zonghan finally believed that this was God blessing the Kingdom of Jin!
"It seems that the internal fighting in the Song Dynasty has spread to the army. How can Kaifeng City be invincible?" Wanyan Xiyin said with a smile.

Zong Han sighed and asked: "How are the preparations for the siege equipment? If we delay it any longer, Zong Wang might have captured Kaifeng before we get to Kaifeng, and by then we won't even be able to eat shit in time for a hot bite. .”

Wanyan Xiyin replied: "It will be completed within three days."

　In recent chapters, a reader’s grandfather has made comments, saying that it is confusing, that the plot is cunning, and that the protagonist has become wiser. For example, why should we abandon Taiyuan? Because I can’t let Wanyan Zonghan die in Taiyuan, and I can’t let Yue Fei die in Taiyuan.Another example is the rebellion of the Tenth Battalion. Some people think it is the protagonist's manipulation, but it is actually the inevitable result of the struggle between the various forces. There is no phone in the Song Dynasty, so the information cannot be completely unobstructed. Even if it could, it would not be possible to notify everyone: I am acting. Trick Wanyan Zonghan to come over as soon as possible.Therefore, a Rashomon-type situation is bound to happen, and the real situation is far more chaotic than what is written now.I originally planned to make the situation more chaotic, but my parents said no, so I quickly stopped and just listened to the advice.But I still want to say one thing, don't rush when reading. It's refreshing to push all the way, but it's also fun to win in chaos.If you encounter this kind of plot in the future, don't be afraid or panic. The author can create chaos and smooth it out.Thank you to all readers who provided comments.
