The first emperor of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 179
"Hmph, back then my Jurchen clan had only 80 soldiers, and I was able to destroy the [-] army of the Liao Kingdom. Now my Dajin Kingdom has a million soldiers. If you want to destroy your Southern Song Dynasty, do you think you can stop it?" Wanyan Zonghan said with a sneer.

When Yu Wenxu heard what Yan Zonghan said, he couldn't help laughing, and said: "The general is really joking. Why did the Jin Kingdom have a million soldiers? Even if the whole country is exhausted, there are only 50 soldiers. How dare the general take it with him?" Can an army of 50 attack the city together?"

Yu Wenxu's words are naturally a satire of the last time the Jin Kingdom poured all its power into attacking the Song Dynasty. As a result, the capital of the Jin Kingdom was empty of troops in Shangjing, and the Song Army came to take a drastic drudgery.

Wanyan Wu begged for money and indirectly died for his country.

Wanyan Zonghan was really irritated by Yu Wenxu, he grabbed Yu Wenxu's neck and said coldly: "Enrage me, believe it or not, I will kill you right now."

Yu Wenxu was not afraid, and said with a smile: "It is said that the two countries are at war, and if you don't kill me, if you Jin Guo kills me, I will be a great hero in my Song Dynasty. Yu Wenxu's good name."

"The Kingdom of Jin doesn't respect morality. It kills envoys. If it is spread, it can be seen by the world. How can such a country win the heart of the world." What Yu Wenxu said made sense.

What a smart person Wanyan Zonghan was, when he heard what Yu Wenxu said, he sneered and said, "Your words reminded me, don't you want to be a great hero, so I will help you, come on, Push this person to Shangjing, it happens that His Majesty likes this Song Dynasty scholar very much, so I will give you to His Majesty."

Yu Wenxu didn't expect Wanyan Zonghan to come up with such a strategy. In fact, he had already put his life and death aside, but now he was pushed to Beijing, but he didn't know what he should do next.

Let's talk about the Song Dynasty court on the other side, after Yu Wenxu's personal guards delivered Yu Wenxu's secret letter back, they immediately exploded again.

"Your Majesty, I think this matter is a bit strange. Could it be that Yu Wenxu made a mistake? After all, the deputy envoy of the Kingdom of Jin just said that the north wind is very urgent today, and didn't say anything else. If we simply rely on such a sentence , I think that if the Kingdom of Jin wants to go south and rashly mobilize troops, if you make a mistake, won’t you miss the opportunity of this peace talk?” Li Ruoshui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, stood up and said, from the point of view of etiquette, this is still the Unnecessary things, simply relying on unfounded things to mobilize troops, is indeed a bit irrational.

"Your Majesty, I don't think so. The King of Jin will never die for me. Jin Taizong Wanyan and Wu Qimai died because of my plan to draw salary from the bottom of the pot. After all, the Kingdom of Jin can't swallow this breath. Some time ago, the dispute for the new king of the Kingdom of Jin was raging. Naturally I have no time to go south, thinking about it, it has been more than a month now, Jin Guo should have a new king, and it is reasonable to send troops to our court now." Li Gang said to Zhao Huan.

"Your Majesty, I think it's a bit of a fuss to predict that the Kingdom of Jin will use troops against us based on just one sentence. Our dynasty is a state of etiquette. If we deploy troops first, the Kingdom of Jin will seize the excuse and beat us up. My image as a big country is really unfavorable." Hubu Shangshu Zhu Shengfei stood up and said.

"Your Majesty, this matter has to be guarded against. At this time, the whole country is focusing on the peace talks between Song and Jin. If the Kingdom of Jin suddenly sends troops at this time, those states and counties will definitely be defenseless, and they will definitely not be able to stop the iron cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin." Shock." Zhao Ding, Minister of the Ministry of Officials, stood up and said.

The court was divided into two factions about this matter. Perhaps at this time, many people still hoped that the Kingdom of Jin hoped for peace talks.

Zhao Huan sat on the dragon chair, nodded his head, and said: "Everyone's words are reasonable. The so-called guard against others is indispensable. I don't know whether Jin Guo has the heart to go south, but I can't help it." If we don’t prevent this incident, we will immediately order Zong Ze, Wu Jie, Yue Fei and others to stand by in order to prevent the Jin army from suddenly attacking the city.”

After a pause, Zhao Huan said to Li Guang, the great Honglu Temple of Honghe Temple: "Secretly send someone to contact Yu Wenxu, whether Jin Guo has the heart to kill me, you will know once you try it."

Zhao Huan didn't believe that Jin Guo really wanted peace talks.

In Chanzhou City, Jin Kingdom's vanguard troops have arrived outside Chanzhou City under the leadership of Wan Yanchang.

Wan Yanchang was sitting high on the horse, and at this time he couldn't help but feel high-spirited. It stands to reason that he was defeated twice in the first attack on the Song Dynasty. He had no chance to become the general of the Southern Expedition this time, but this time the Southern Expedition General Zheng fell on his head.

Without him, this time Wanyan Quan was able to become the emperor, and he contributed the most, while Wanyan Zongbi was demoted at this time because he secretly supported Hailing King Wanyanliang, and became the vanguard of the southern expedition to the Song Dynasty.

"Pass down my military order to attack the city from east, west and north in three directions. Tonight I will drink in this city of Chanzhou. If I can't break the city, I will let that Wanyan Zongbi come to see me." Wan Yanchang ordered.

The Jin army gathered 30 troops and once again attacked the Song Dynasty aggressively. This time, it was about to destroy the Song Dynasty and avenge the death of Wanyan Wu Qimai.

Chanzhou City was not at all prepared for the Jin Kingdom's sudden attack on the city. Looking at the menacing Jin army, they didn't even do anything to resist, so they surrendered directly.

There was no way, Wanyan Zongbi personally led an army of [-] to be the vanguard, and Chanzhou was just a small city, even if it resisted, it could not withstand the attack of the Jin army.

Eight hundred miles rushed to Bianjing, and the capital was shaken for a while. Originally, the people of the Song Dynasty were still immersed in the peaceful and joyful atmosphere of peace talks between the two countries. In a blink of an eye, it was reported that the Jin army had approached the city. .

Chanzhou is not more than five hundred miles away from Bianjing. At this speed, if the Jin army rushes to Bianjing, it will take no more than two days to reach it.

For a moment, the hearts of the people were in turmoil, and all the merchants with some money in Bianjing City quietly went south with their families at this time, going to the Suzhou and Hangzhou areas, after all, it was safer there.

Above the court of the Song Dynasty, the faces of the original peacemakers were a little bit uncomfortable. After all, the Jin Kingdom just said that they don't know how to use soldiers, and the Jin army has already approached the city in a blink of an eye.

"The Jin army's treachery is not a gentleman's action. One side is still in peace talks, but the other side is attacking the city brazenly. What is the difference between this and the robbers? The Jin army will be defeated if it acts like an unjust army!" Li said. Ruoshui couldn't help but loudly reprimanded Jin Jun for his shameless behavior.

Zhao Huan couldn't help but shook his head. These sour scholars, the so-called righteous teachers or unrighteous teachers, just rely on the winners to write.
