After all, Wanyan Sheng had been fighting all his life. Unlike Song Huizong, who had been pampered since childhood, he probably rarely even fought, let alone fought. Wanyan Sheng knew very well that he was trying to capture Yelu Yanxi alive and declare his complete destruction.
After the Liao Dynasty, the morale of the three armies was high at this time. If they wanted to attack the Song Dynasty, they had to attack the Song Dynasty with all their strength. If they were too late, they would delay the opportunity and be disadvantageous to themselves. Otherwise, they might as well not attack at all.
So, he immediately ordered the three armies, announcing that he had 100,000 troops, and sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty in two directions. The west route was led by Wanyan Zonghan, who sent troops to Heyin; the other route was led by Wanyan Yanmu as the capital, and general Liu Yanzong as the deputy capital.
Wanyan Zongwang served as the supervisor of the army and sent troops to Pingzhou. In fact, Wanyan Zongwang was not allowed to command the army, which was a matter of seniority. Originally, Wanyan Sheng was planning to let Wanyan Zongwang command the army, but Wanyan Zongwang said that Wanyan Zongwang's mother was my uncle.
, I can’t yell at him, why not let him command the troops, and I will be the supervisor.
Wanyan Sheng agreed, but everyone knew that Wanyan Zongwang actually had the final say on this route army.
In fact, three months ago, the Jin army was already on standby, sharpening their swords and preparing to attack the pigs and sheep. As soon as Wanyan Zongwang arrived, he immediately sent out troops without a moment's pause. As soon as Pingzhou left, it became the territory of the Song Dynasty.
1125, the tenth day of October.
This day is the birthday of Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty. Originally, his birthday was the fifth day of May. Because some bullshit Taoist priests said that the fifth day of May was unlucky, it was changed to the tenth day of October.
Song Huizong did a lot of things like this. As we all know, he was born in the year of dog, so he also ordered that no dogs be killed in the country. He can be said to be the first president of the Animal Protection Association in the world. But how could the people listen to him?
, he killed them without fail, but when he saw that the people were eating sheep's heads and dogs, he simply lifted the ban.
The emperor's birthday must be grand!
At this time, you can't talk about promoting integrity and fighting corruption. Song Huizong finally found a good excuse to commit suicide, but he was not willing to let it go. Everyone celebrated. A big banquet was held, and hundreds of officials came to the palace to congratulate. It was very lively.
But not long after the banquet started, a person suddenly rushed into the Longting Garden and said in a long voice: "Report---!"
At this alarm, the officials were disturbed and stopped one after another, and the lively scene suddenly became silent.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty finally got into the mood. This "retribution" made him very unhappy. He had to listen to the annoying government affairs for his birthday and had to live with others. He frowned and said: "What's the matter?"
The man said in a hurried tone: "To report to the emperor, the Jin Kingdom divided its troops into two groups to attack the Song Dynasty on the pretext that the Song Dynasty wanted to recruit and surrender the Emperor Tianzuo of the Liao Kingdom. It has now captured Yizhou and Shuozhou."
"What did you say? Jin---the Jin Kingdom sent troops to attack the Song Dynasty?"
There was a bang! The wine glass in Song Huizong's hand fell.
This is really shocking news!
The expressions on the faces of all the ministers froze at this moment, as motionless as stone statues. Then they heard a few more "clang, clink, clink" sounds. Many wine glasses fell to the ground in their hands.
Tsk tsk, I, Li Qi, pride myself on being a master of slaps in the face, but I didn’t expect that you, Zong Wang, are far better than me! You really know how to choose a day, this slap in the face is really amazing. If there is a chance, I think it is necessary to do it in advance
I want to ask when Wanyan Sheng’s birthday is.
During the entire banquet, Li Qi was the only one with the richest expression on his face. He picked up the tea cup in his hand and was about to take a sip, but his hand stopped in mid-air. Oops. I can’t drink this. I should be pretending to be serious now.
It's panic.
Thinking of this, he also dropped the tea cup in his hand, his mouth opened in an O shape, and his eyes were dull. He was indeed a pure actor.
The man nodded affirmatively and did not dare to say anything more.
Song Huizong's body began to stagger, his eyes suddenly went dark, and he fell backwards. This time he really fainted.
"emperor."
Liang Shicheng and Eunuch Liu hurried forward to support Song Huizong.
"Royal doctor, send the imperial doctor quickly."
This shout immediately woke up the ministers. The banquet that had been extravagant just now was now full of fear. The civil and military officials in the court were terrified. Then several senior ministers fainted and the scene became a mess.
No way. Are you going to faint from fear? Oh, if you died today, it would save a lot of things. From now on, you can commemorate your death and birthday together. Li Qi snickered twice in his heart, and then rushed forward
He stepped forward and said in a hoarse voice: "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, take care of your dragon body!"
It turned out that Wanyan Zongwang led his army southward with great momentum, but in fact there was no fighting at all. They had just arrived at the foot of Yizhou City. Han Minyi, the defender of Yizhou, saw that the Jin army had strong soldiers and horses, and looked at his own soldiers, knowing that this battle was going to happen.
There was no way to fight, and beating would only lead to death. Besides, the scene of the Song Dynasty beheading the surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom and sending the heads to the Jin Kingdom was still vivid in my mind. Neither the officials nor the people were willing.
Worked hard for the Song Dynasty.
In this case, Han Minyi simply opened the city gate and surrendered.
Wanyan Zongwang grew up on horseback. When he was fighting against the Liao Kingdom, the only thing he could see was the Yelu Dashi. However, the Yelu Dashi had already gone to West Asia and he couldn't find his enemy for a while. It was like being alone.
The feeling of defeat arose spontaneously. Now there was another battle to fight, and there was Li Qi in the opponent's camp. This made him very excited. He was leading his troops southward with great ambition, but he never thought that this first battle would also involve an arrow.
Before they were released, and before they could even stand firm, the opponent surrendered.
This made Wanyan Zongwang very disappointed, but think about it, isn't this the virtue of the Song army? From the first battle, the Jurchens completely saw the nature of the Song army. It was really vulnerable, even worse than the Liao army.
It's a thousand miles away, and the great country of the Central Plains is just a paper tiger.
Wanyan Zonghan's side is strikingly similar to Wanyan Zongwang's. The army on the west route had just left Heyin and arrived at the foot of Shuozhou City. It turned out that the Shuozhou magistrate had disappeared long ago. When the soldiers on the city wall saw this
The bosses all ran away, and they even slapped me with a p. Without saying a word, I surrendered.
It means that the Jin army effortlessly captured two states in a row. The way this battle was fought is really dumbfounding!
When Song Huizong heard all this, he fainted again. If he fainted from fright last time, then he really fainted from anger this time. This is really what people are doing, God is watching
, you usually go to death to hurt people's hearts, now will they still sacrifice their lives to fight for you?
When Song Huizong woke up for the second time, it was already night. How could he still remember his birthday? He quickly summoned the ministers to discuss countermeasures.
Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty had aged a lot in just one day! With tears in his eyes, he felt extremely wronged and lamented: "I am really unjust. When did I ever surrender Emperor Zuo of that day?"
Wu Min stood up and said: "Your Majesty, this is clearly a crime imposed by the Kingdom of Jin."
Song Huizong really hoped that this was just a misunderstanding, and there was still room for maneuver. If it was a crime of imposition, it would mean that the Jin Kingdom was determined to attack the Song Dynasty. He lamented again and said: "My dear friends, now we can
What should I do?"
Bai Shizhong was born as a scholar and was timid by nature, so he stood up and said: "Your Majesty, the Jin army is now as powerful as a rainbow. We should avoid its sharp edge. We in Kaifeng, Tokyo, have no danger to defend. To the north is a flat river. The Jin army will soon be there."
After calling them, Wei Chen suggested moving the capital to Hangzhou immediately and relying on the natural dangers of the Yangtze River to stop the Jin army."
It sounds nice, but in reality I just want to escape.
But this coincided with Song Huizong, who nodded hurriedly and said: "Ai Qing's words are reasonable, move the capital. Move the capital."
Li Qi just wanted to laugh when he heard this. This battle has just begun. The Jin army is still thousands of miles away from here. Even if they run all the way here, it will take several months. It would be unavoidable for you to want to run away.
It's too early.
Jiang Daoyan stopped in the palace and said passionately: "Your Majesty, this matter must not be done. Moving the capital is not a child's play. How can we say that it will be accommodated. Once the capital is moved and the people's morale is shattered, they will surely be defeated again and again. No matter where they are moved, they will not be allowed to do so."
An rest. Think back to the early days when Emperor Taizong Li Shimin of the Tang Dynasty came to the throne, Jieli led an army of 200,000 troops, approaching the north of the Weishui River bridge outside Chang'an City, the capital of the Tang Dynasty. It was only forty miles away from Chang'an City. However, Emperor Taizong of the Tang Dynasty was not afraid of danger and used tricks to confuse Jieli.
Later, the Weishui Alliance was signed, but the capital was not moved at that time. Now the Jin army has just invaded our border with the Song Dynasty. How can the emperor move the capital at this time? Isn't this a joke to the world?"
Song Huizong felt his face was hot after being reprimanded by Jiang Daoyan. He told the truth for the first time, saying: "Jiang Aiqing, I don't want to either! It's just --- how can I compare to that Tang Taizong!"
If you were Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, I might have traveled around the world with my wife and children by now. Alas, you just can't be Taizong of the Tang Dynasty, so don't abandon yourself and become the empress of the Southern Tang Dynasty! Li Qi was speechless.
Although Cai Jing is also very timid and fearful, he has lived for almost a hundred years and has never seen anything. He was also frightened just now, but now he has calmed down and feels that he is not in a desperate situation yet. He said: "Your Majesty, Jiang Yushi said
That's right. This matter has not reached the point of irreversibility. I think there must be some misunderstanding. Why not send someone to explain it first."
It is said to be an explanation, but in fact it is a summation.
Immediately, many people stood up and seconded the proposal. Sue for peace? This is an old routine. Everyone is playing it smoothly and it has been tried and tested. This is how it was used to deal with the Liao Kingdom.
Song Huizong thought about it. The opponent has not yet passed the Yanyun area. What should I be afraid of? When we fought with Liao and Xixia for more than a hundred times, Tokyo was safe and sound. Our Song army is far more numerous than the Jin army, so it may not be possible.
After losing, thinking of this, he breathed a sigh of relief and said: "Yes, yes, Aiqing is absolutely right, as long as they can withdraw their troops and give them some money, that's okay, but who should be sent there?"
"
This time, everyone's attention turned to one person again.
Needless to say, for such an arduous task, it must be Li Qi!
Are you kidding? I bet that as soon as I go, Wanyan Zongwang will immediately cut me into pieces. Why should I pay off the debt you have done? I can’t die! Li Qi this time
He said that he would not do anything when he was in danger, and he would not go there even if he died, because if he went there, he would definitely die. He rolled his eyes and cupped his hands and said: "Your Majesty has a destiny, even if there are mountains of swords and seas of fire ahead, I will never frown.
Lower your brows." He added in his mind, and Wei Chen turned around and dodge.
What does it mean to be a loyal minister? This is what a loyal minister is. Song Huizong was so moved that he quickly said: "You have always been my blessed general. If you go there, you will definitely..."
"but---."
Before Song Huizong finished speaking, a "but" came out of Li Qi's mouth, which made him stunned and said: "Ai Qing, do you have anything else to say?"
Li Qi was very puzzled: "Your Majesty, if I go here, I will never come back. Moreover, the Kingdom of Jin may use all its strength to attack the Song Dynasty. Therefore, before I go, I hope that the Emperor can do a good job in defense."
Prepare."
The power of a whole country? These words almost frightened Song Huizong to the point where he threw himself under the table. When the words came to his mouth, he swallowed them back! He trembled and said: "This---why is this?"
Li Qi sighed: "I dare not hide it from the emperor. When Wei Chen went to Yanshan Mansion as a mission, he had some issues with Wanyan Zongwang, and even humiliated Wanyan Zongwang three times and four times to promote our power in the Song Dynasty. At that time, Wanyan Zongwang shouted that he wanted to kill Wei Chen.
Fortunately, Jin Taizu stopped him. This --- Doctor Zhao saw it with his own eyes. If Wei Chen goes, as long as I am given a chance to speak, I can hope to withdraw from them. However, I believe Wanyan Zongwang will not give Wei Chen anything.
The life of a humble minister is not worth mentioning even if you have the opportunity to say a few words, just for fear of ruining the emperor's important affairs."
Tong Guan was dubious and asked, "Doctor Zhao, is this possible?"
Zhao Liangsi thought to himself, given your attitude back then, if it were in the Song Dynasty - well... if it were someone else, they would kill you! But after all, he had shared weal and woe with Li Qi, and besides, Li Qi
What he said can be regarded as the truth, and he said: "Reporting to the emperor, this is indeed the case." (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
