Some people say that peace can exist by struggle, and peace can perish by compromise.

Jia Xianggong once hoped to negotiate peace with Mongolia during the Battle of Ezhou. At that time, the Song Dynasty won, so the conditions for peace were naturally to not cede land, not to submit to the people, and not to pay tribute. It was just that the two countries formed a brotherly country.

In the eighth year of Xianchun, Jia Xianggong completely forgot the past. In addition to continuing to send envoys to let Zhao Jiaren enter the capital, Jia Xianggong chose to seek peace with the Mongolian general Boyan, who attacked the Song Dynasty. He sent someone to give gifts to Yuan Prime Minister Boyan, and Jia Sidao requested to cede land and pay compensation.

Of course, Jia Sidao himself thought this was a delaying strategy, but Jia Sidao did not expect that he would use the mentality of a weak person to trap a strong man like Boyan. For Boyan, why should he spend a lot of precious time talking about what he can get on the battlefield?

After the Mongolian army captured Ezhou and Tanzhou, General Boyan, the left prime minister of Jinghu Province, led the water, with more than 100,000 infantry troops, and appointed the surrendered general of the Song Dynasty as the vanguard, and advanced east along the Yangtze River. Most of the generals along the Song River were former subordinates of the Lu family. When the Yuan army arrived, they all looked for the wind to surrender.

At the beginning of the first lunar month, the Mongolian army arrived in Huanggang, Hubei, Huangzhou), and Chen Yi, the deputy envoy of the Yangtze River, surrendered.

On the 11th, Guan Jingmo, the guard general of Qizhou (now northeast of Qichun, Hubei), surrendered.

On the 13th, Song Ti promoted Lu Shikui, Xingguo Palace in Jiangzhou, and Qian Zhensun, the governor of Jiangxi's pacification envoy, sent someone to welcome the surrender of the Yuan army.

On the 14th, Boyan led his army to Jiangzhou, and the Song Dynasty's army, Ye Chang, surrendered to the city.

On the 16th, Fan Wenhu, the magistrate of Anqing Prefecture, sent people to Jiangzhou to welcome the Yuan army with wine and food.

On the first day of the second month, Boyan led his army to Anqing Prefecture (now Anqing, Anhui), and Fan Wenhu surrendered to the city.

During the banquet, Liu Zheng, the Wanhu family, had a complicated mood about Fan Wenhu's servility. He couldn't help but mention Fan Wenhu's nephew Fan Tianshun. Then a brief silence appeared during the meal.

After the Mongolian army captured Fancheng, they carried out the massacre. When they entered the garrison's mansion, they saw the garrison general Fan Tianshun who committed suicide, and the 'Life as Song minister, and the 'Life as Song ghost' written in Fan Tianshun's own blood! Even the enemy, the Mongolian army admired such a man very much. Perhaps it was because of the Song general who committed suicide until the end of the battle, Zhang Hongfan, who was in charge of the massacre of the city, even spared the people in Fan Tianshun's mansion for this.

Now that the rebel general Liu Zheng mentioned this matter to Fan Wenhu, who surrendered, the senior officials of the Mongolian army and the senior officials of the Han army, felt it was difficult to describe their feelings.

When Fan Wenhu heard someone mention his nephew, he asked with a surprised expression: "Can my nephew surrender to the court?"

Liu Zheng told Fan Tianshun's ending with a sarcastic expression to Fan Wenhu. Just when everyone thought Fan Wenhu would be angry, he saw Fan Wenhu saying seriously: "My nephew only knows stupid loyalty. The court did not blame our Fan family for this. This is really a great emperor's kindness... I... I..." Afterwards, Fan Wenhu choked up, "I really don't know how to be grateful! Woo woo..."

The Mongolian nobles and the senior officials of the Han army, looked at Fan Wenhu's performance in amazement, and even Liu Zhong subconsciously opened his mouth and was speechless. Fan Wenhu's performance really shocked everyone. Such shameless people were never seen by these people.

Boyan was simply cold and didn't speak much. When the generals were dumbfounded, he spoke instead, "Fan Tianshun swears not to surrender to death. Why are you surrendering so easily?"

Hearing the general's question, Fan Wenhu immediately put away his crying and immediately replied: "Jia Sidao abusive power, always treats scholars preferentially and despises military generals. We have been unfair for a long time, and we are dissatisfied with Jia Sidao. That's why we hope to give money!"

This sentence is clear and quite content. If you haven't seen Fan Wenhu's previous performance, just looking at his current response, you might think that Fan Wenhu is a person with a strong sense of morality and self-esteem. Before the Mongolian nobles and Han Jun Shihou came up with a suitable reaction, Fan Wenhu raised his head and looked at Liu who was rebelling against Song, and continued with a firm tone: "Liu Wanhu had surrendered to the court before, and I was very envious of Liu Wanhu's free and decisiveness. But if I followed Wanhu's steps at that time, Song would kill my whole family. Now the court has attacked the thief Song, and I can finally surrender to the court with great integrity. It's really a joy to be unsuccessful!"

No matter what, Liu Zheng never expected that his previous talkativeness would bring the conversation back to him again. His face turned red and white, but he couldn't speak. The Mongolian nobleman and the Han army Marquis had been made by Fan Wenhu and had no idea what to react. Now they finally had a common content. They laughed because of Liu Zheng's embarrassment. However, apart from laughing, they still didn't know how they should react to Fan Wenhu.

On the sixth day of the second month, Boyan led his army to Chizhou (now Guichi, Anhui), and the commander-in-chief Zhang Lin surrendered to the city.

On the 16th, Boyan led his army to Dingjiazhou, several miles away from the Song army. Jia Sidao and Jia Xianggong governed 130,000 troops and 2,500 warships lined up in the river. Seeing the Song army's formation, Boyandu was outnumbered and should win by making plans. He summoned the generals to give him a strategy, ordered dozens of large rafts in the army, and placed firewood on top, pretending to say that they were about to burn the Song boat, so that the Song army was prepared day and night and exhausted.

On the 21st, Boyan supervised the infantry and cavalry attacking the two sides of the river, and ordered the warships to work together to attack the Song army, and bombarded Sun Huchen's army with giant cannons. The Song vanguard general Jiang Caifang fought with the Mongolian army, and Sun Huchen abandoned the formation and fled first, and the troops were defeated. The Mongolian Pingzhang Zhengshi A Shu led thousands of warships, marched forward in the wind, and broke into the Song formation and attacked the Song ships. Xia Gui was afraid that the Supervisor Jia Sidao won the victory, so he was blamed for the defeat in Ezhou and fled without fighting. When Jia Sidao heard this, he was shocked and hurriedly called the Jin Dynasty to withdraw his troops and fled to Yangzhou by boat.

The Song army lost command and the defeated army blocked the river. A Shu supervised the boat and rushed to the Song boat. He Wei, Li Ting and other generals were commanded by a small flag to pursue the boat. Boyan ordered the infantry and cavalry to attack left and right, and chased more than 150 miles. The Song army was killed and injured, and most of the warships sank. The Mongolian army obtained a large number of military supplies and equipment, and advanced eastward as they took advantage of the victory.

The Battle of Dingjiazhou was the turning point of the Song army's battle against Mongolia, and most of the elite Song army were wiped out in this battle. Even though the Mongolian population was only 20 million and the Song Dynasty population was 80 million, the Mongolian army still gained an advantage in military strength.

Jia Sidao never understood why he was defeated so easily in Ding Jiazhou. He originally thought he could use all his ways to delay until Zhao Jiaren's reinforcements arrived and turn defeat into victory.

But the facts are facts, and there is no such thing as 'closing your eyes will be dark'. After the defeat, Jia Sidao had to escape back to Lin'an. The Lin'an court unanimously demanded that Jia Sidao be killed to thank the world. Although the Tai student Zhao Jiali was also indignant at this time, he felt even more fear. Zhao Jiali was very jealous of his third brother Zhao Jiaren, but after all, he had gradually gotten used to these things over the past ten years. When Zhao Yong sent someone to ask Zhao Jiali to reunite with his parents, Zhao Jiali agreed to the request without hesitation.

The reason why Zhao Yong sent people was not to take care of Zhao Jiali's face, but that he was really busy at this time. Before Jia Sidao and Jia Xianggong were defeated, the money shops in Lin'an thought that the Song Dynasty should be fine and did not care about Zhao Yong's invitation to them to go south.

After Jia Xianggong fled back to Lin'an, the people in the money shop confirmed that something big happened. The Mongolians were really going to fight to Lin'an. So many people began to urgently ask for Zhao Yong, asking how to go south and what Zhao Yong had to ask.

Zhao Yong told them to take all the valuable things and take the whole family with them. The owners of these money shops expressed their opposition at the time. They had many debts before they had time to collect them. If they ran so cleanly, each money shop would suffer considerable losses.

Zhao Yong was too lazy to talk nonsense about such a guy. He could still remember how arrogant the people in the money shop were when he went to the same street with Zhao Jiaren and Bu Ruyan. Anyway, Zhao Yong had already said that the life and death of these people had nothing to do with Zhao Yong.

Geisha is easy to live in Jiangnan. Although Bu Ruyan had a brief trip to Fuzhou after leaving Lin'an, she had already arrived in Gusu. Zhao Yong sent someone to contact Bu Ruyan specifically and asked her to go south quickly. Bu Ruyan was not as pretentious as the people from the money shop. After learning the news, she immediately cleaned up everything and started going south.

When Bu Ruyan arrived at Jiaxing Prefecture, he saw that the port was already crowded. Most of these people were related to Zhao Jiaren. After learning about Ding Jiazhou's defeat, they chose to escape at the invitation of Zhao Jiaren. Bu Ruyan looked at so many people and was worried that he could not get on the boat at all.

What she didn't expect was that there were large ships waiting to be equipped with people from morning to night at the port. People at the port registration office and the guilds ascended the throne, and their identities could be determined by comparing the roster. Then they were arranged to board the ship.

As Liu Yong's "best friend", Bu Ruyan felt that it was not surprising that she was famous on the list. However, so many people she saw were famous on the list, which surprised Bu Ruyan.

After getting on the big ship and looking down at the port from a high place, Bu Ruyan was even more surprised. The port was gathered with about tens of thousands of people. There were still people coming from afar. Many people had been sent out before, but now, there were 100,000 or even more people going south.

Such huge transportation capacity is already shocking, and those rosters made Bu Ruyan feel that Zhao Jiaren was simply unfathomable.

Even Bu Ruyan could think of these, and others could think of them, and Zhao Jiaren could think of them too. But Zhao Jiaren no longer cared about them. In the general retreat plan, Jia Sidao's defeat was a landmark node. It means that the Song Dynasty was irreversible. So what if you were scolded for being ulterior motives at this time? Without the help of Zhao Jiaren with ulterior motives, these people would only fall into the hands of the Mongolians.
