In view of this, Buhadun felt that the situation was over. At this moment, he could no longer organize an effective counterattack and resistance, and the defeat was irreversible.

So Buha immediately ordered his confidants to gather together, leaving behind 70,000 to 80,000 soldiers and fleeing with only a few hundred people.
There were too many Jin soldiers, and they were all scurrying around like headless flies. If the Mongolian army wanted to fight, they would have to go through a lot of troubles. Buha also took advantage of the chaos and escaped from Baima Town.
"Brothers, the Mongolian army will not let us live, so we will fight with him."
The mountains and plains were full of fleeing Jin soldiers, while behind them were Chi Laowen's eight thousand Mongolian troops who split up to pursue and kill them.
Many Jin soldiers knelt down and surrendered in order to survive, but they also ended up with their heads on the ground. Whether they could survive or not depended entirely on the personal mood of the Mongolian soldiers. There were no rules at all.
In this case, they had no choice but to fight to the death. Many Jin soldiers gathered together and began to resist the Mongolian army.
However, they had no queues and no unified command at this time, and their morale and morale were at the same level as the Mongolian army. Even if they tried their best to resist, they would become a pile of rotten meat on the ground after the charge of Chi Laowen's cavalry.
Kaifeng, the Imperial Palace of the Kingdom of Jin. At this time, there was singing and dancing in the palace, and a banquet was being held. Wanyan Shouxu was having fun with Cui Qing'er in his arms, without worrying about the progress of the war. Many ministers on the side saw this, but they dared not speak out in anger.
When he was drinking to his heart's content, a man walked in and whispered to Cui Li.
After Cui Li heard this, his expression changed greatly. It turned out that the Privy Council had received a request for help from Buha, saying that he was trapped in Baima Town and asked the imperial court to send a large army to rescue him.
Cui Li frowned and immediately let people go down.
Wanyan Shouxu happened to see the change in Cui Li's expression and asked curiously: "Why did the Qing family suddenly stop laughing? Is there something wrong?"
Cui Li quickly adjusted his mood, stood up and cupped his hands and said: "Go back to Master Lang, a servant has just come to report that my concubine had a difficult birth and unfortunately both are gone."
Wanyan Shouxu didn't take it seriously and said: "It's just a concubine, it's no big deal. If you choose one of these singers from the Qing family, I will reward you."
"Thank you Sir."
Cui Li thanked her with a moved expression, and then chose a medium-looking singer among the singers. As for the most beautiful one, Cui Li didn't dare to ask for it, so as not to make Wanyan Shouxu unhappy.
The banquet quickly dispersed, and when they returned to the mansion, Cui Li ordered people to put the singer in bed, and then said to the housekeeper: "Go and execute my concubine Liu Xin and bury her alive. If anyone asks, tell her that Liu Xin died in childbirth."
,do you understand?"
The steward was surprised, but Cui Li's explanation was so serious that he didn't dare to ask any more questions. "Yes, my lord." The steward respectfully agreed, and then went down to do it.
Then Cui Li became restless, and it was he who single-handedly recommended Buha to assassinate him, and then he became the commander-in-chief of a hundred thousand troops, responsible for rescuing Qingyang Mansion.
Now that Yici Buha is trapped, his behavior really brings shame on his face as the recommender. If Wanyan Shouxu pursues the case, Cui Li will also be punished. What should we do?
"Yi Ci Bu Ha, Yi Ci Bu Ha, I didn't expect you to be so useless, you are such a common man and a piece of shit."
Cui Li moved around anxiously, cursing Buha from time to time, but the scolding was in vain. Cui Li thought hard for a long time, but could not find a good idea.
As the saying goes, one person is short-term and two people are long-term. In desperation, Cui Li sent someone to find Zhang Xiu, the left minister of the Ministry of Rites. This man often gave Cui Li gifts, so Cui Li paid special attention to him and promoted him.
He is a tactful person and quite astute.
When Zhang Xiu learned that Cui Li had invited him, he hurriedly came in three steps, fearing that Cui Li would wait for a long time.
"I would like to ask you what you have to say when you summon the officials?"
Cui Li told him the matter and asked him if there was any way to avoid offending Wanyan Shouxu.
After hearing this, Zhang Xiu's eyes swung around a few times, and his heart moved. Buha had brought an army of 100,000 to rescue him. If something happened to him, wouldn't the Jin Kingdom be destroyed?
If the Kingdom of Jin is going to be destroyed, what should I do? Is it possible that I want to accompany the Kingdom of Jin to be destroyed together? How can this be done?
It seems that now we have to prepare a way out for ourselves.
Thinking of this, Zhang Xiu looked at Cui Li and said in his heart that Cui Li was a powerful official. As long as he followed him closely, he could survive if he lived. If he died, he would still have time to run. Yes, let him be his pawn.
Test knife ghost.
Wanting to understand all this, Zhang Xiu was very excited and soon came up with an idea. He said to Cui Li: "I dare to ask the envoy, do you think Buha will be defeated by the Mongolian army?"
Cui Li shook his head.
Zhang Xiudao: "In this case, the envoy must prepare for the worst. If Buha's army is wiped out by assassination, what will happen then?"
When Cui Li heard this, he felt a chill down his spine. If Buha's hundred thousand troops were really killed by the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army would take advantage of the victory and attack, and they would probably point their sword at Kaifeng.
"Your Majesty has something to say, do you know whether to say it or not?"
"What time is it? If there is anything else you can't say, please tell me."
Zhang Xiu nodded and then looked around. Seeing that there were many servants in the lobby, Zhang Xiu stopped talking.
When Cui Li saw this, he waved his hand to dismiss everyone, and then said: "Speak."
Zhang Xiu stopped covering up and said: "Now the envoy needs to do two things. First, find a reason to take away the responsibility for the defeat of Buha, so that Master Lang can't blame you, and naturally he won't kill you."
you.
The second is to place an absolutely reliable confidant next to Master Lang, so that once the Mongolian army comes to Kaifeng, you can use Master Lang's head to exchange for the wealth of the new dynasty.
If you do these two things well, you can sit back and relax."
Cui Li was immediately overjoyed, and finally had some confidence in his heart. However, how to remove the responsibility for Buha's defeat was a difficult problem.
Cui Li looked at Zhang Xiu and said: "You can actually come up with such a suggestion. Then you must have thought of how to remove the blame for the defeat of Buha in Buha. Tell me, what can you do? As long as I survive the
Difficulties arise, from now on you will be my right-hand man, and your wealth will be indispensable at all times."
"Thank you very much, envoy. Thank you very much, envoy."
Zhang Xiu was overjoyed, and he immediately said: "If you want to avoid being blamed by the master, it is best if the master does not dare to pursue the case. Then the person who is shirk of responsibility can only be "God"."
When Cui Li heard this, he was confused at first, but soon he understood what Zhang Xiu meant.
What Zhang Xiu meant was to place the blame on God as a warning. In this way, even if Wanyan Shouxu was angry, he would not dare to disrespect God, and he would not be able to hold God accountable. In the end, he could only let it go.
Cui Li suddenly became enlightened. He laughed and said, "Okay, okay, I did not misjudge you. You are indeed extremely smart."
