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

Chapter 231: It’s clear [two chapters combined into one]

The battle report of the Battle of Nanxunmon was sent to Akihito Palace that night.

Zhao Fujin's face was smeared with a mask mixed with diatom mud, glycerin and pearl powder, and he showed no emotion or anger.

"In the battle of Nanxunmen, our army died more than [-] people, and the Jin army died [-], and almost half of them were lost..." Li Bangyan read the battle report.

Zhao Fujin interrupted: "This battle loss is greater than..."

Battle loss ratio...

new word.

General historians and military strategists will use the battle loss ratio as an important indicator to judge whether a war is a victory or a failure, and whether it is a small victory or a big victory.

But Zhao Fujin felt that it was not very scientific.

The victory of a war should not only be based on the battle loss ratio, but also whether it achieves the established strategic and political goals.

Especially political goals.

For example, if I don’t let you cross the [-]th Parallel, you just can’t cross.

After all, all wars are extensions of politics.

If you only look at the battle loss ratio...then don't look at it.

Obviously, Zhao Fujin was satisfied with the loss ratio of the Song and Jin armies in the battle of Nanxunmen. But what she didn't know was that of the more than 90.00 people killed by the Song army in the battle, 7000 of them died in the field battle outside the city. %, and more than half of the [-] people killed by the Jin army died in the siege.

From this point of view, the ability of the Song Army and the Jin Army to fight in the wild is still very different.

Wanting to crush the Jin Army in the field for half a year was a pure dream.

Fortunately, Zhao Fujin was still conscious.

This is also part of the reason why King Qin's army stationed outside the city was not allowed to take the initiative to attack the Jin army some time ago, and was even directly transferred away now.

Of course, some people in the court didn't understand. Since they were useless, why were they stationed outside the city in the first place?
Zhao Fujin once discussed this issue with Han Shizhong.

"These Qinwang troops stationed outside the city are not for the Jin army to see, and they will not be afraid if they see them. They are for the common people in Kaifeng city to see, which can stabilize the people's hearts."

To stabilize people's hearts is to ensure taxation.

If the people's morale is unstable and wealthy families leave the city to avoid the disaster of war, wouldn't it affect the court's collection of money?

Not only that, it also made the defenders in the city unstable.

According to official history, Emperor Qinzong Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty did not allow these wealthy households to take refuge southward. Some people thought it was a saucy move.

But when it comes to history, how can it be absolutely cool or not?

Precisely because the wealthy households in Kaifeng City moved southward, they left a prosperous Jiangnan for Kang Wang Zhao Gou, and extended the life of the Song Dynasty for another hundred years, instead of being wiped out by the Jin.

Therefore, history will always push and change the destiny of mankind in its own way. Whether it is a show or not, no one can know the answer until the moment when history ends.

Back to this war.

Li Bangyan finished reading the battle report and waited for Zhao Fujin to express his stance.

Zhao Fujin looked very calm. He lifted the half-dried mask off his face and said with a smile, "It's not bad."

good?

Li Bangyan felt that he was so awesome in the first battle after taking command, so the officials couldn't praise him?
But in Zhao Fujin's view, there is almost no possibility of losing in the Kaifeng defense battle. It would not be surprising if he won, but it would be strange if he lost.

Seeing that his request was unsuccessful, Li Bangyan waved behind him, and a box was brought up.

Zhao Fujin had already finished peeling off the mask, looked up and asked, "What is this?"

Li Bangyan bowed and said: "The officials will take a look first, seeing that the ministers have something else to attend to."

Zhao Fujin raised his hand and his face turned pale in an instant. He almost jumped up from the couch: "Take it away, take it away! Li Bangyan! Don't you remember to eat and not to fight? I have already said, don't take these things anymore." Bring it to Akihito Palace for me!"

Li Bangyan was stunned: "Did the official say anything?"

Zhao Fujin laughed angrily: "Okay, then I will tell you carefully this time, and you will remember it carefully. In the spring and summer, whip my kerosene..."

Li Bangyan fell to his knees with a thud: "Official family, I want to be favored by the brave general in golden armor!"

This move made Zhao Fujin suddenly forget to whip someone: "Ah? Gao Chong? Didn't the battle report say that Gao Chong is brave and unstoppable..."

"Gong is merit, fault is fault!" Li Bangyan looked upright: "Does the official know whose head it is?"

Zhao Fujin shook his head: "I don't know!"

"This general is the general of the Jin Army's West Route Army, Wan Yan Huo Nu. Do the officials know that Wan Yan Huo Nu is..."

"The biological son of Wanyan Loushi." Zhao Fujin pursed his lips and smiled.

Li Bangyan was stunned and stood up: "Does the official know? Gao Chong has already come to see the official?"

Zhao Fujin spread his hands and said, "Gao Chong has such a temperament that he doesn't like to take credit."

Li Bangyan blushed and said immediately: "Since the officials know that this head belongs to Wanyan Lou's son, don't they think that he is more useful alive than dead?"

Zhao Fujin naturally understood what Li Bangyan meant. If Wan Yan's daughter was captured, the Jin army would have to use the enemy's weapon no matter what they did.

After all, the prestige of Wanyan Lou's family in the Jin army, and the relationship between Wanyan Lou's family and Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda were there. Both Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang had to be cautious.

"Emmm, we are fighting on the battlefield. How can Gao Chong care so much? You still ask him to be captured alive? Isn't this a bit overwhelming?"

Li Bangyan sighed: "Hey, if he was really killed in a battle, how could I interfere with him? The reason for interfering with him is that he has already captured Wanyan Huonv alive outside the Wengcheng..."

"Really? That's awesome!" Zhao Fujin sat up straight with joy: "What happens next?"

"After?" Li Bangyan was stunned. He felt that the official's attitude seemed to be very satisfying, and there was no intention of being harsh at all?
No matter what the official meant, the words had come to this point, and Li Bangyan could only bite the bullet and continue: "I originally wanted to use Wan Yan's living daughter as a hostage to negotiate with the Jin people, but who knew that Gao Chong raised his sword and dropped it? In front of Wanyan Zongbi, I beheaded the man, and I couldn't stop shouting."

Zhao Fujin's eyes flashed with disappointment, and he murmured in his heart: "You are so happy, but you didn't ask me to watch, you are ignorant!"

Li Bangyan saw Zhao Fujin's eyes darkened, and thought that the officials must have felt that Gao Chong had done something wrong in this matter. He was about to continue participating when he heard Zhao Fujin ask: "What do you want to talk to Jin Jun?"

Li Bangyan was stunned, right?What to talk about?
Li Bangyan hesitated for a long time: "It is better to keep this person than to kill him."

Zhao Fujin snorted: "You have to take care of the food if you keep it. There is nothing wrong with killing it. Tomorrow I will let Chen Dong put it on the front page of "Da Song Daily": "Shocked, the son of the Jin Army God of War died under Nan Xun's family." In this way, our army is united, what's wrong with that?"

Seeing that Li Bangyan was speechless, Zhao Fujin smiled again and said: "But, as he is a general and you are a commander, he disobeys the commander's orders. This is wrong and must be punished."

Li Bangyan's eyes lit up: "O sage official! Then according to the official's point of view, is it twenty military sticks or thirty military sticks?"

"Thirty!"

Li Bangyan was happy. The officials still loved him. He knew that he had lost face as a commander today and even a young general couldn't stop him. He would eventually find face for himself: "Thank you, the officials."

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "If you have nothing to do, go down."

Li Bangyan was happy and about to retire, but he heard Zhao Fujin say: "You should also go and get thirty military sticks."

Li Bangyan's face collapsed: "Huh?"

"Ah, what? He deserves to be beaten because he disobeys the commander's orders. You, the commander, can't control a young general and you come to me to complain, so you shouldn't be beaten?" Li Bangyan was stunned for more than ten breaths. Time, suddenly he chuckled and said: "I suddenly felt that it was not a big mistake for Gao Chong to kill him. On the one hand, it improved the morale of our army, and on the other hand, it destroyed the prestige of the Jin army. What an invincible thing, what a son of the God of War, bah." ! Besides, the general will not accept your order, let alone the commander-in-chief. Otherwise, forget it?"

Zhao Fujin smiled and said: "You are the marshal of the army, you can figure it out yourself. By the way, first return Wan Yan's alive body, and hang the head on top of Nanxunmen City. Remember! From now on, even if Wanyan Sheng’s head can no longer be brought in front of me, it looks disgusting!”

"The minister obeys the order! The minister resigns!"

"Wait a minute!" Zhao Fujin seemed to have thought of something else: "Send a few smart people to Qingcheng and tell the Wanyan people to send people to pull out the corpse. The condition is that the 3 people who paid the money will be returned. return."

"Ah? Isn't it a fake surrender? Call them back now?"

"Well, Si Tianjian will report today. The sun will rise in two days."

……

……

Thirty miles east of Kaifeng City is Qingcheng.

The Jin Army camp was shrouded in an atmosphere of solemnity and sadness.

The headless body of Wanyan Living Girl has been brought back.

"Killing kills the heart! Killing kills the heart!" Xiao Zhonggong cried bitterly, looking even more sad and angry than Wanyan Loushi: "Two marshals, this female official of the Song Dynasty has a vicious mind, like a scorpion or a snake, killing the corpse of a living woman He handed it back, but took his head... Hey! This is to make the living girl die in peace!"

Wanyan Loushi did not shed any tears, but his eyes were red and his fists were clenched.

Wanyan Loushi had never thought about such a scene. Although he could not describe the poem about a general dying in a hundred battles and returning his body wrapped in horse leather, he also knew that on the battlefield, life or death was unpredictable.

In a big battle, with tens of thousands of corpses lying dead, can only other people's sons die, but not your own?

He understood the truth, but he was filled with grief and anger, and his heart was bleeding.

Because he is a father, a father who is regarded as the god of war, a father who gives gifts to black-haired people.

He vaguely remembered that the first time Wanyan Huonv entered the battlefield was when she was 17 years old when she accompanied Wanyan Agu, the founder of the Jin Dynasty, to attack Ningjiang Prefecture. He was wounded by many arrows, but he still killed hundreds of enemies and refused to retreat.

When he was being helped off the battlefield, Jin Taizu looked up and asked who he was.
The left and right replied: "The son of Lou Shi."

Jin Taizu laughed loudly and personally delivered the medicine: "This boy will become a famous general in the future."

Famous player?

Wanyan Lou's heart was filled with sadness.

It's not that he couldn't accept his son's death, he couldn't accept his son's humiliating death!

This humiliation was not given by the female official of the Song Dynasty, nor by the golden-armored young general of the Song Army, but by Wanyan Huonv herself.

When encountering an enemy in battle, he does not dare to act like a lone wolf and rush to bite him. However, he is like a frightened rabbit that is teased and chased by Hai Dongqing. In the end, he is held under his arm and kneels in front of the battle... …

shame!

Shame on the Jurchens!

Shame on Lou!

The sadness and anger of losing her son and the shame of feeling that her son had disgraced the family were intertwined, which made Wanyan Loushi go crazy.

The people around him cursed and insulted the Song people with gnashing teeth, which made Wanyan Loushi extremely irritable.

"Shut up!" Wanyan Loushi finally spoke.

After saying these two words calmly, Wanyan Loushi threw the torch in his hand into the fire platform: "Burn it!"

After saying these three short words, Wanyan Loushi turned around and walked towards the Chinese army tent: "Commander, please discuss the matter!"

Wanyan Zonghan was stunned, and immediately threw the torch in his hand towards the fire platform. Wanyan Zongwang followed, and the other generals also threw out the torches. The raging fire instantly ignited, and Wanyan's living girl's body would be transformed in a short time. As a wisp of green smoke, floating in Qingcheng, Kaifeng, the ashes are mixed with the ashes of vegetation. I wonder if the whining north wind will bring him back to the land of white mountains and black waters where he was born and raised.

"We've hit the jackpot!"

As soon as the generals followed the two marshals into the tent, Wanyan Loushi, who had already been sitting aside, spoke.

Such an abrupt sentence caught everyone off guard.

"Lou Shi?" Wanyan Zongwang asked softly.

He thinks that because of the pain of losing her son, Wanyan Loushi was too shocked and started talking nonsense and fell into a trap?What's the trick?

Wanyan Loushi looked at Wanyan Zonghan with calm eyes and asked: "Commander Zong Han, if Taiyuan defender Yue Fei does not receive the twelve gold medals and withdraws from Taiyuan, are we sure of taking Taiyuan?"

If it were in the past, Wanyan Zonghan would never say that he was incompetent in front of the second prince Wanyan Zongwang.

But this question was asked by Wanyan Loushi, and in this situation, he couldn't help bragging.

Wanyan Zonghan shook his head: "I can't take it."

Wanyan Loushi smiled sadly: "If we cannot capture Taiyuan, our West Route Army will not be able to reach Kaifeng City. If our West Route Army cannot reach it, our East Route Army will have to fight alone. In the end, we will not be able to capture Kaifeng City. This time we went south to destroy the Song Dynasty. , we will have to return without success! But now, we are joining forces to Kaifeng, why? "

No one spoke, everyone was deep in thought.

"Because the female official of the Song Dynasty doesn't want us to return without success. She is eager for us to come to Kaifeng. She wants to tear us apart under the city of Kaifeng!"

Wanyan Loushi's words made everyone in the tent suddenly feel a chill rising from the soles of their feet, and their spines ran cold. No one spoke for a long time.

Finally, Wanyan Zonghan spoke: "Lou Shi, I know how painful it is for you to lose your son, but why are you so willing to let others have ambitions to destroy your own prestige? Tomorrow, I and you will personally attack the city to avenge your living daughter!"

Wanyan Loushi calmly shook his head: "If the commander wants to attack the city, there is a way to win. I will never dare to disobey the order. I was originally the vanguard to attack the city, but if the commander is attacking the city to avenge my son, please commander Think twice.”

"Don't you want to avenge the living girl?"

"I think! But revenge is by no means a burial! Since the empress of the Song Dynasty wants us to join forces and attack the city, she must have deadly means. If we don't know her means, we shouldn't act rashly."

Wanyan Zonghan smiled slightly at Wanyan Lou's sudden cautiousness: "How could a prostitute have any means? The withdrawal of troops from Taiyuan was just an internal fight in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Daojun had the upper hand at that time, but when we arrive in Kaifeng, The woman has taken back her power again, that’s all!”

In order to dispel the doubts of the generals, Wanyan Zonghan looked at Xiao Zhonggong: "Xiao Xianggong, you have been to Kaifeng and met the female official's house, tell me!"

Xiao Zhonggong felt a pain in his butt, and said with an embarrassed smile: "Come back to the Commander-in-Chief, it seems... it seems... a loving father and a filial daughter, between the female official's family and the Daojun Emperor. It doesn't seem like there is any quarrel."

"Ha... That's just acting in front of you!" Wanyan Zonghan still couldn't accept the fact that he was being led by a woman. He looked at Wanyan Zongwang again: "Second Prince, you have someone in Song Ting, please tell me. !”

Wanyan Zongwang was stunned: "What are you talking about?"

Zong Han was also stunned: "Didn't you deliberately place the general under your command in Song Ting?"

"Who?"

"Mr. Guo!"

Wanyan Zongwang looked at Wanyan Zonghan like a fool: "Have you seen him?"

"He was the one who summoned Yue Fei to evacuate Taiyuan with twelve gold medals. He also met with me and told me personally that there was a change in the Song Dynasty. Emperor Daojun seized power and wanted to negotiate peace with me, Daijin, so he ceded it. Taiyuan.”

Wanyan Zongwang's face turned dark instantly: "Zong Han, why didn't you tell me earlier that Taiyuan was ceded to you, not captured by you?"

Zong Han's face turned red: "You didn't even ask me... You haven't said yet, is that Medicine Master Guo the one you have in Song Ting?"

Finally it’s revealed!
