The rise of the late Song Dynasty reigns supreme

Chapter 640

The 30 army was killed by more than [-] Song troops, and the defeat was a foregone conclusion. Zhao Gou did not miss this opportunity and ordered the army to pursue the enemy.In addition, Wanyan Zongwang was also captured by Gao Chong and escorted to Zhao Gou. The Song army had already entered Qingzhou and fully occupied Linhuang Mansion.

"General Wanyan, we haven't seen each other for a long time. How are you doing?" Zhao Gou saw Wanyan Zongwang without any sarcasm. It's actually here!"

"Eight years ago, you were the King of Yan. Eight years later, you have become the emperor of the Song Dynasty. The situation is really changing, and the ghosts and gods are unpredictable!" Wanyan Zongwang smiled bitterly, "If you hadn't resisted desperately, I am afraid that today is not the Song army The soldiers approached the city, but our army besieged the city of Bianjing."

Zhao Gou replied: "This is true, but if you want to really break through the Song Dynasty's defense line, you will have to pay a heavy price. Even without me, Zhao Gou, there are still people in the Song Dynasty who can stop you. Now I have something I want to ask the general, if I tell the truth, I will not treat you badly."

"What's the matter?"

Wanyan Zongwang was a little stunned. What would the emperor of the Song Dynasty ask him? The two of them are enemies, or they can be said to be opponents.Back then, Zhao Gou's army went deep alone, causing him to be injured, and he was forced to retreat from the front line to Linhuang Mansion. It was a pity that he failed to fulfill Wanyan Sheng's wish.

At the beginning, before he died, he guessed that Zhao Gou was the biggest resistance to the Jin Dynasty's invasion of the Song Dynasty.In his opinion, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and others are indeed rare generals, and Jin Bing has suffered repeated setbacks in their hands, and he still cannot be compared with Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou defeated the [-]-strong army he led with his remaining tens of thousands of troops, and was severely injured by Zhao Gou, almost dying.At that time, Zhao Gou posed a great threat to him, and he also knew that it was the resistance of the Great Jin Dynasty to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south. When he returned to Linhuang Mansion, he played Yan Sheng many times and paid close attention to Zhao Gou's movements.

Wanyan Sheng also knew about Zhao Gou's threat, and wanted to kill him, so he dispatched agents several times into the territory of Song Dynasty, but before they reached Bianjing, they were captured, and finally disappeared inexplicably.If you want to break through the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou will be the first to go out.

There was nothing he could do, Wanyan Zongwang led an army of 30 and was defeated again by Zhao Gou, still on his own land. This humiliation hit him deeply.Wanyan Zongwang was not defeated in ability, but in the hands of soldiers, that is, his own hands. He wanted to kill Zhao Gou, and all problems could be solved, but it was just wishful thinking. Zhao Gou would never give him any chance. Wanyan Zongwang's defeat was not wronged.

"Where are the two emperors of Huiqin?" Zhao Gou asked straight to the point.

Wanyan Zongwang thought he heard it wrong, and he said in surprise: "Didn't Emperor Huiqin be in the Song Dynasty? How could it be in my Jin Dynasty? I really don't know about this!"

Zhao Gou took a serious look at Yan Zong, and saw that he really didn't know, and his expression of ignorance made Zhao Gou a little suspicious, "Could it be that the second emperor is really not in the Jin Dynasty? If not, where is it? Why? Haven't been able to find it?"

In the past eight years, Zhao Gou has never ceased to inquire about the news of the two emperors of Huiqin. The strangest thing is that they seem to have disappeared. There is no news at all. Even Zhao seems to have disappeared. For any news, even Jin Dynasty's various places have been investigated, but there is still no trace.

Zhao Gou was really confused. If the Jin Dynasty really captured the Second Emperor Huiqin, then it was impossible for them not to use it as a threat.Since Zhao Gou beheaded Guo Yaoshi before he came to the throne, the Jin Dynasty never sent envoys to negotiate with the two emperors of Huiqin.

"Judging from the current situation, I'm afraid the emperor of the Jin Dynasty is no longer in Shangjing!"

Zhao Gou said again that he only thought of it after seeing Wanyan Zongwang. If Wanyan Sheng was here, it would be impossible to have only a dozen generals, and the army would not be defeated so quickly. There is only one situation, and that is Wanyan Zongwang is procrastinating. Time gave Wanyan Sheng a chance to leave Shangjing.

"Your majesty is indeed a dragon and a phoenix!" Wanyan Zongwang was taken aback for a moment, and then he did not deny that Wanyan Cheng had left, "Does this disappoint the emperor?"

Zhao Gou laughed and said, "How could you be disappointed? Although he left temporarily, he couldn't escape from my grasp. It just prolongs his time, and it also increases the time for our army to continue attacking the Jin Dynasty city. However, Wan Yan If Sheng wants to escape, it depends on whether I am willing or not!"

Afterwards, Zhao Gou asked when Wanyan Cheng left. Wanyan Zongwang couldn't tell Zhao Gou, and he kept silent after that. Finally, Zhao Gou ordered people to take Wanyan Zongwang down and take good care of him.Wanyan Zongwang snatched the soldier's weapon and killed himself on the way.

The Song Army broke into the city, entered the Jin Dynasty's palace, and began to arrest Wanyan Sheng. Sure enough, they found a substitute, but they did not find the real master.Zhao Gou didn't take this to heart, and then ordered the army to start searching, even in corners, to find the traces of Emperor Huiqin.

The army searched the city for a whole month, and there was still no trace to be found. Finally, Zhao Gou gave up.In addition, Zhao Gou also received the military information from Wu Lin and Wu Jie. They had successfully captured Xianzhou, and Jeju was missing.

Zhao Gou immediately sent an order to them to stop attacking, and they must firmly defend Xianzhou, Shenzhou and other places, and told them to prepare for winter.Wu Lin and Wu Jie obeyed their orders, so they stopped attacking and made full preparations for winter.

Wang Wu, Li Shiren, Li Shien and others also received Zhao Gou's order to transport all food, clothing and other materials to Dading Mansion, and Dading Mansion became a granary and armory. Zhang Jun and Li Xianzhong also joined them. Continuously deliver supplies for the army.

Generally speaking, winter only lasts for three months, but the winter here lasts for six months, which is colder than that of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.At this moment, not only the soldiers, but also the horses need to pay attention. It is impossible to march and fight in such weather, and they can only wait for the wind and snow to pass.

Zhao Gou didn't stay here for the winter. After he arranged everything, he returned to Beijing with Gao Chong, Wang Wu and others.Although Zhao Gou wants to spend time with them, it's a pity that he can't help himself. As the king of a country, there are too many things that need to be decided by him, and he dare not delay in the slightest.

Zhao Gou passed on the decree, ordered the army to rest and reorganize, and never allowed any attack. You must know that the place where the Jin Dynasty is located is really cold in winter. Not only thick cotton clothes, but also clothes made of animal skins must be transported to keep warm. Heating, and charcoal fires cost more than anything else at this time.

After this war, the 20 main force of the Song Army lost 9 people, and there were 11 people left. Wu Lin and Wu Jie commanded 3000 people, Zhang Jun and Li Xianzhong led 2000 people, and the rest were in the army. In Gyeongju, Yue Fei, Han Shizhong, Liu Guangshi, Yang Yizhong, Tang Huai, Zhang Xian, etc. are all there, ready for winter at any time.

Zhao Gou strictly ordered troops to be dispatched in winter. The food for these people, as well as the icy cold, and all the things to keep out the cold must be transported in place, so as to avoid the situation where the roads are blocked due to the snow and the army is trapped. Unable to return, he was trapped to death in the end.

Zhao Gou did not dare to take risks, and braved the wind and snow to attack. Not only did he have millions of dans of food, but also millions of dans of charcoal to keep out the cold, as well as livestock such as cattle and sheep, all of which were transported to various cities. A total of 3000 million taels of silver was consumed.

Some ministers in the court objected, thinking that it was not worth it, and asked Zhao Gou to retreat to the land of Yanyun, but Zhao Gou felt that it would be bad to do so. Any surprise attack is very inappropriate, so he insisted on spending so much silver to ensure the safety of the soldiers in front.

After Zhao Gou returned to Beijing, he immediately decreed to withdraw money from the treasury. The 3000 million taels was the tax revenue of the Song Dynasty for half a year, and the total treasury was only 5000 million taels, which means that most of the silver taels in the treasury were used.It is normal for some people in the DPRK to object.

However, if these silver taels were exchanged for the demise of the Jin Dynasty and the safety of the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Gou thought it was worth it.Moreover, 3000 million taels of white money was spent in this way, which is also the most military expenditure since the founding of the Song Dynasty and the only time.
