The monarch and his ministers responded briefly and concluded their 'greetings', and then walked slowly into the hall together.
At this time, Zhao Jiu finally noticed the weakness of the other party's body and determined that the other party was just in a state of recovery. Because when he supported this man who had traveled around the world for ten years when he was young, he was famous for his strong body and rough words and deeds.
By then, I could barely feel the weight on my hands.
However, the more this happened, the more cautious Zhao Jiu became... because at this time, 'Grandpa Zong' was actually 'invincible' to him, an official.
In fact, not only Zhao Jiu, but also Hu Yin, the censor Zhongcheng who is known as half-phase, Lin Jingmo, the confidant of officials and civil servants, Lan Gui, the internal minister of the Ministry of Internal Affairs, saw just now
After thinking about that scene for a moment and understanding the joints, everyone was a little cautious, while others like Wan Qixi, Wang Shan, Guo Zhongxun and others were even a little frightened.
But no matter what, now that they are here, they have no choice but to look at each other and then enter the hall carefully.
"Why are you so careful?" Zongze sat down in the prepared seat on the left hand side with the support of Zhao Guanjia, and called his son to serve him. Seeing that Zhao Guanjia simply sat down, the others did not dare to move, and he couldn't help but continue.
Laughing. "Do you think I didn't entertain you well here? Today is just a private banquet. Don't be restrained just because the official family is here."
Officials have no restrictions!
Hu Yin and others became increasingly helpless, but they had no choice but to sit down. Since the Zong Xiang had made it known publicly, they did not dare to follow the rules of public banquets by official position. Instead, they followed the custom of private banquets in the officialdom in previous years and ranked them by birth order.
Looking at the seats, it turned out that the four Jinshis Guo Zhongxun, Lin Jingmo, and Hu Yin followed in order to the left, while Lan Gui, Wan Qixun, Liu Yan, and Wang Shan were all sitting on the opposite side carefully.
The banquet was very rough, the wine was not good, and there were not many dishes. Of course, everyone was in fear and had no intention of enjoying it.
"I heard that Yanling, the official family, won the battle?"
As expected, everyone sat down and managed to eat some dishes. Before the wine was poured, Zongze, who had just said it was a private banquet, couldn't ask further questions.
"The good minister who stayed behind knows that Yanling is really victorious." Guo Zhongxun next to him heard this, and he became energetic and spoke quickly. "More than a dozen fierce security guards were all wiped out, and ten thousand households of Pucha, Falcon and Balu were also killed.
, the enemy in Zhongmo retreats, Wan Yan is too lazy to prepare coldly..."
"I'm asking the official." Zongze turned his head and glanced at his recommender. The latter just looked at him and lowered his head and dared not speak.
"That's true." Zhao Jiu said simply. "But this battle is about being forced into a desperate situation and having no choice but to survive in death. Since it is a desperate move, the cause is not worthy of praise, and the result has not yet been determined."
"Let's not talk about the reason for the moment, but there is something to say about the result." Under the candlelight in the house, Zong Zefu squinted at Zhao Guan's house again, and then slowly shook his head. "Song and Jin have been fighting for five years, and the young master wins.
There are many defeats, but every victory is worthy of praise. How can it be such a great victory? According to the veteran minister, once Changshe was restored, the land of Five Rivers returned to the hands of the king's division, and the Jin army was separated from the north and the south. This situation was already alive...
…”
"I beg to differ." Zhao Jiu also shook his head. "The Jin Army has more than 200,000 households on the east and west routes. There are probably 300,000 people in the country. A dozen fierce security guards are not enough to shake the overall situation, and this battle will eventually end.
The result still depends on the situation of Han Shizhong and Yue Fei in the past few days."
"Then how can we count it as a result?" Zongze lowered his head and thought for a moment, then asked again with a calm expression.
"In fact, from my point of view, regardless of victory or defeat, forcing the Jin people to cross the Yellow River as soon as possible is the only priority." Zhao Jiu was still straightforward. "I just want to try not to delay the spring plowing in Henan..."
"That's true." Zongze leaned on his son's arm, thoughtfully. "The official is the emperor, so he should look at it from a high place... But after all, it is the king's victory, and it cannot be faked, and Han Shizhong and Yue Fei both
He is a general, and he will not delay the overall situation... It is better to have a drink to congratulate Master Wang."
Everyone in the hall took a breath of relief, and then quickly raised their glasses in fun. Even Zongze himself reluctantly took a sip from the glass raised by his son.
However, as everyone drank their glasses, and the next moment, as the Zong Xianggong continued to speak, everyone became nervous again:
"The official, Du Chong, a high-ranking minister, was killed in the hall by the official's own hands for some unknown reason?"
"His son Du Yan personally issued a report to the Prime Minister. Du Chong and Ta Lan agreed not to fight, which is against the clear instructions of Bagongshan in the past..." Zhao Jiu had already replied concisely, but at this point, he sighed to himself. "Actually,
Even considering this, it is still possible to kill him or not, but if you don’t kill him, firstly, you will not be able to properly obtain military power and frighten the commanders of the Tokyo Remaining Department to send troops immediately; secondly, I will not be at ease!"
"The official family is really magnanimous today." Zongze couldn't help but smile.
"I don't dare to be frank with Mr. Zong." Zhao Jiu calmly held his hands in front of him.
"That being the case, I am still curious about something...Why can't the official family be at peace?" Zongze seemed to be smiling but not smiling.
"So Fan escaped from Nanyang and went to Yanling to collect his troops. He suffered heavy losses along the way." Zhao Jiu answered patiently.
"I don't believe it." Zongze suddenly shook his head.
"Why?"
"In the old days in Hebei, the officials did not even take care of their own father, brother, mother, and sister. How could they be considerate and considerate of ordinary soldiers?" Zongze's tone was still calm, but the content of his words had a hint of awe.
If other people in the hall have heart disease, they may have committed it on the spot and walked one step faster than Zong Xianggong. But even if they are not sick, many people want to cover their ears immediately. As for those who have always had their own opinions,
Hu Yin, who expressed Wuji, was almost unable to bear it at this time.
But Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, and then he followed this Zong Xianggong, who said, "When a person is about to die, everything is unscrupulous", he came to an earth-shattering thought:
"How can one cry when one family is crying? War disasters have caused the world to be in chaos, and millions of people have died... As the emperor, of course he should talk about filial piety and brotherhood in front of outsiders, but in fact, how can he have the time to take care of just a few people?
A family? I should have been thinking about arms, food, grass, money, and silk, and taking care of the soldiers guarding the city, so as to bring peace to the world as soon as possible. Nothing else matters."
As soon as these words came out, the first one to react was Hu Yin, the censor Zhongcheng. He immediately stood up from behind the case, his face flushed, and he wanted to speak, but he didn't know what to say for a moment and could only stand there in shock.
Zongze and Zhao Guanjia looked back at this person, but they didn't take it seriously. Instead, they continued to talk to each other as if they were gossiping:
"In the past in Hebei, I never saw officials thinking about peace in the world."
"Let's not mention the incident of falling into a well. I'm just comparing my feelings. When I was in Hebei in the past, how could I have ever thought about what kind of official I would become?"
"There is some truth in saying this, but this principle can be applied before the Second Saints went north to hunt. After the Second Saints went north to hunt, why did the officials rush to abandon the people of Hebei and cross the river south to ascend the throne? And after ascending to the throne, why did they abandon everything?
Hebei layout?”
"I think it was because I was young at that time and was charmed by Huang Qianshan, Kang Lu and others, and I had no prejudices in my heart. It was also true that I was temporarily depressed and lost my faith... Even if I forgot about this kind of thing, it was indeed my fault." Zhao
Jiu looked at each other slowly.
Zongze was silent for a long time, and after a long time he said to him with a sigh: "I don't care about the old minister's words about falling into a well and forgetting the past, but the official went too far with his honesty today. Could it be that he thinks that I am a dying person?"
"I speak from the bottom of my heart." Zhao Jiu remained calm.
"What the official said today actually makes sense, but I don't believe it." Zongze shook his head slowly.
The atmosphere in the hall became tense again, and the rest of the people sitting there were completely helpless.
In fact, there is no need for anyone to be smart or stupid here. Everyone knows what is going on. That is, the official family, which is extremely firm in its anti-gold stance, has an obstacle that cannot be overcome by Zong Xianggong, who is also a model of anti-gold. No matter what, the Zhao official family cannot
There is no way to make up for the fact that he gave up on Lianghe around the middle of the first year of Jianyan.
You said you resisted the Jin, who abandoned the two rivers and ran away to ascend the throne in a hurry?
You said that you won the battle and wiped out more than a dozen men and more than 10,000 people. Do you dare to ask whether the people in the two rivers are 20 to 30 million people?
You said how hard you worked, how difficult it was, how could you ask someone like Mr. Zong Zezong who risked his life to maintain the old capital and resist the invasion when he was so poor?
And the most important point is that if it were the rest of the people, the Zhao Guan family could still comfort them a little, say 'we'll wait for the future', sigh 'we'll see what happens in the future'... But Mr. Zong is in his seventies and is terminally ill.
He is about to die, how can he look forward to the future and look forward to the future?
To be fair, everyone knows that the Zhao Guan family has done a very good job this time, and even dating back to the battle at Huaishang, it has been very satisfactory. But it is a pity that only when facing Zongze, he
What I did...I'm afraid it's not good enough!
This is a dead end.
Compared with this crux, the unspoken words of both parties just now, but already explicit enough to frighten Hu Yin, made no sense between the two people in the hall. You said that you are the key to the anti-Jin righteousness, but the Jin people
Was it not your Zhao family that caused the invasion?
In response to this, Zhao Guanjia's answer was, please don't worry about the things those people caused me, who was just a child at the time.
And Zongze really didn't pay much attention to this matter.
"I feel that what the officials said today is half true and half false." In the silence, Zong Rulin finally sighed softly again. "I really don't know how much you are comforting me, this old minister, who is about to die?"
"It's all sincerity." Zhao Jiu seemed to have already thought about his attitude and words when facing Zongze, because he did not hesitate at all. "I have been determined to resist the Jin Dynasty to the end and regain the mountains and rivers since I was in Bozhou Mingdao Palace.
It’s just that I myself know that among all the people in the world, only Mr. Zong has trouble believing in me. I can’t explain it..."
Many people's hearts were slightly moved.
And Zongze still seemed unmoved. After a moment of pause, he opened the door further: "Guan Jia, veteran, you have been defending Tokyo alone for more than a year, can you count it as a way to turn the tide?"
"It's natural."
"And today, when I die in office, it can be said to be a dedication to my life, right?"
"This is inevitable."
"Then the history books in the future won't be able to say anything bad about me today, right?"
"good."
"And the officials are also very clever... I'm afraid they also know that I have nothing to fear today."
"I probably understand." Zhao Jiu suddenly laughed. "Unless I regain my country and prove my innocence in the future, everyone in the world will believe whatever my husband says today."
"That's why the officials are so polite today..."
"If I don't have sincerity, wouldn't it be better if I hide in Yanling for a few days, wait for my husband to leave, and then come back here?" Zhao Jiu also made it clear.
Zongze was silent for a moment, but still shook his head slowly: "Actually, it is Chen Qiang who is holding on to wait for the official. If the official does not arrive, the old minister will not die."
"I know, that's why we are here today." Zhao Jiu also became serious.
"Why does this sound like urging an old minister to die?" Zong Zefu sneered again.
"Will Mr. Xian still be taboo about this at this time?" Zhao Jiu also smiled bitterly.
"Does the official know that I had a bad reputation when I was young..."
"I've heard a little bit about it."
Let’s say that if it hadn’t been for the Jingkang Incident, Zongze’s reputation in history would not have been good, because in the thirty years of official career before the Jingkang Incident, this later anti-gold leader and national hero had two incredible things.
political labels, one is vulgar, the other is traitorous...
I won’t mention the former, it’s just a personal habit. Looking at it from the perspective of a national hero, he naturally has the courage to speak out and has a heroic personality. The key is the latter.
When Zongze went to take the imperial examination, he vindicated the treacherous official Cai Que. Not only did he end up in the bottom of the rankings, his official career also completely collapsed. However, the reason why he later tried his best to be a general judge came from another person.
The promotion and care of the traitor Lu Huiqing...
Therefore, if he really succeeded in retiring at the age of sixty, and then died of illness in the countryside, he would really be a remnant of the traitorous party in the corner of the history books, and he would have been involved in a time-travel novel to indulge his imagination.
He will end up with a villainous face, and may even be sent to Lingnan, which will make readers feel happy.
However, in the midst of great waves, who would have thought that when faced with something like the destruction of their home and country, such a bad old man with a very bad image would step forward, try his best to save the situation, and then die with all his strength?
"Then I don't have anything to taboo about, veteran..." Zongze continued to talk slowly.
"That's why I came here." Zhao Jiu responded seriously. "If you ask me for anything, I must promise it."
"Just three things." Zongze sighed slightly.
Everyone held their breath.
"The son of Lao Chen doesn't have much talent, but he is Lao Chen's son after all, and he always has selfish motives. The reason why he has not been allowed to fill the post is not to show off, but because everyone in the Tokyo Stay-at-Home Department is fully committed to Chen Yiyi.
Take it in, if he is allowed to fill the official position early and has the title, I am afraid that the villain will have other thoughts... I also ask the officials to deal with it properly after the old minister's death." Zong Rulin pointed to his son beside him.
Tao, the latter couldn't hold back hearing this and burst into tears on the spot.
This is not an attack, but a standard Tuogu. After hearing this, most of the people who were a little nervous before became relieved, and as Zong Ying shed tears, they looked a little sad... After all, it was an old minister Tuogu.
However, Zhao Jiu was obviously startled. This was not only because he had not waited for the expected attack, but also because he heard some other meanings from Zongze's words.
"The officials must not believe it." Seeing this, Zongze simply raised his hand and pointed at someone at the table opposite. "Wang Shan, come out and tell the officials about your theory of 'rich and poor, redefinition of rank'..."
Wang Shan heard the words and hurriedly came to meet Zhao Jiu and Zong Ze, both of whom kowtowed. I don't know whether it was fear or sadness in his heart when he saw Zong Ze's posture today. When he raised his head again, he couldn't stop crying and said nothing.
"I have heard Wang Qing's words a long time ago, and I quite agree with them." Zhao Jiu realized in his heart, but he sat upright in his seat and looked at her seriously. "In these troubled times, it is indeed a time when wealth and poverty are re-established... It's just that
Wang Qing, there are two ways to redefine the rich and the poor. One is to rebel against loyalty, be willing to degenerate, create chaos, ask for excessively, and then cause trouble in vain; the other is to follow the general trend and turn the tide like Zong Xianggong.
To not fall and to unite the country and the country with one mind is to quell the chaos and calm the people, and to gain fame and fame for yourself... Mr. Zong’s intention today is for your own good, you must know it.”
Wang Shan, who walked in directly from outside the city without taking off his clothes and armor, could only kowtow to the two of them in the hall.
When Zongze saw this, he became a little impatient. He just waved his hand and continued to say to the Shangguan family: "The Guan family is smart and it will be good if they wake up...Then the second thing refers to the Tokyo stay-at-home."
I hope the officials will properly arrange them for the sake of their contribution to the country."
"This is inevitable." Zhao Jiu responded immediately.
In fact, Zhao Jiu realized from the beginning that Zong Ze was not worried about his son's official position at all. The first thing Zong Xianggong pointed out was to use his son's matter to remind Zhao Jiu that the capital of the Tokyo Remaining Department was
They are a group of military thieves and bandits, and the Zhao family has lost the hearts of Lianghe before. The identity of the official family does not have as strong a cohesion for these people as the rest of the official army, so they must maintain a certain level of high pressure and majesty, and even do certain things.
Clean them, otherwise they can really cause trouble!
It's just that even as Zongze, he couldn't say such words. He could only point to his son and Wang Shan who was right in front of him, and use the topic as a hint.
The second thing is to remind Zhao Guanjia that coercion is coercion, but in the final analysis, this is an important force to resist gold. It can be restrained, adjusted, gathered, and cleaned, but it cannot be abandoned.
Back in front of him, Zongze explained the matter so simply and neatly, but Zongze laughed: "Today, I said that I was relying on my old man and selling my old man, which is aggressive, but he seems to be in tune with the officials."
Zhao Jiu finally managed to smile again, but immediately became solemn. He had a vague premonition of something.
"But you still have to be a bad person!" Zong Rulin put away his smile and suddenly sighed again. "The official promised me one last thing, and my wish will be fulfilled today... I took the liberty of asking the official to start a recovery in public.
The poisonous oath of the two rivers!"
Everyone in the hall was completely silent. Even Wan Qixi felt that Zongze had gone too far.
"What kind of oath?" Unexpectedly, Zhao Jiu was stunned, but still responded quickly.
"The official is the emperor, so he can only swear to heaven."
"Since I am the Son of Heaven, if I point to the sky and swear an oath, is God's will partial, let alone the will of God is vague? I am the Lord of all peoples, why don't I swear by the people?" Before the others could interrupt, Zhao Jiu cooperated properly.
"That's fine." This time it was Mr. Zong's turn to be a little dazed.
When Zhao Jiu heard this, he immediately sat still and raised his fingers to the sky: "If I can't revive the two rivers in this life, destroy the Jin Kingdom, plow all its gardens, sweep all its caves, and unite the rivers and mountains of the world into one, I will have no love in my life.
There is no whole body left in the dead body.”
"The official's words are serious!"
The official took an oath, and almost everyone except Zong Ze came out and knelt down together. When Guo Zhongxun, Wan Qixun and others heard the oath, they panicked and admonished them. But again, Zhao Guanjia and Zong Xianggong were there
Talking here, what about them?
"The official family is young and prosperous, and life without love is indeed a poisonous oath." After hearing the oath, Zongze smiled at each other, but asked seriously. "But why did he die without a complete body?"
"Because if I die, I will only die in a frontal battle between the Song and Jin Dynasties wearing armor..." Zhao Jiu answered calmly. "And a few days ago, under the Changshe City, I saw armored corpses. Most of them were damaged.
In today's battles, both armies have excellent armor. Once they fight hand-to-hand, they often have to cut off their limbs first and then pick off their helmets before they can be killed. It is rare to see a whole corpse."
"I see, it seems that I am stingy." Zongze was startled for a moment, and then suddenly felt relieved, and his whole body became a little limp. "I have always been vulgar, and I hope the officials will forgive me."
"I have done nothing in the past, and I am ashamed to be forgiven by my husband with just one word." Zhao Jiu said sincerely.
"Have a drink!" Zongze tried his best to smile. "In any case, today we are at a disadvantage to the officials... We can look forward to what will happen in the future."
Zhao Jiu quickly raised his glass.
For a time, the hall was filled with lights.
Not only that, halfway through the drink, Zongze was a little drunk, but he insisted on going to the courtyard to admire the moon... Everyone knew that the weather was still cold, which was not good for his health, but on the occasion of the Chinese Yuan Festival, the moon appreciation book
It's a reasonable thing, and I can see it from both sides. This husband really can't hold it any longer. When I see the official today, my wish has been fulfilled, but I'm afraid it will get worse at any time. I can't disobey him at this time.
significance.
So, everyone carefully moved their seats into the courtyard and admired the moon.
When the mood was high, Mr. Zong first looked at the moon and sighed, and then he smiled bitterly: "Today is a festive day with full moon, and I reunited with the officials in the capital. I should have written a poem to express my interest, but I am old and incompetent, but instead
Even a little bit of poetry is no longer enough..."
People around him sighed, and some were eager to try it.
"No." Not waiting for others to show off, Zong Zefu looked at the moon again and shook his head and sighed to himself. "I have never been good at this in my life. When I was young, I spent ten years traveling around the world's mountains and rivers. I was never a good reader.
What are we talking about about poetry? However, if we had not traveled for ten years and seen all the great rivers and mountains in the world, and understood the magnificence of the rivers and mountains and the convergence of the people, the Jin people would not have been so resentful of the theory of Lord and Harmony after going south, and then ended up never returning home.
…”
Naturally, several people around him sighed in agreement.
Seeing this, Zhao Jiu, who was sitting in front of the hall, looked unchanged and drank as usual, but his heart was already disturbed several times.
Let's say that since he was in the hall just now, he has wanted to reject everyone several times and tell Zongze that he is not the one who abandoned Lianghe and that he will do whatever he wants, but he has suppressed this meaningless impulse several times.
...But when I heard these words, the waves in my heart arose again, and once reached the highest point.
Moreover, since time travel, among the people Zhao Jiu has come into contact with, most of the so-called high-level civil servants and war factions are just because of loyalty, because of Confucian classics, because of personal hatred, and because of benefiting from the system, but there are very few people like Zong Ru.
Lin Gang gave him a pure and logical feeling of family and country.
Seeing the magnificence of mountains and rivers, one becomes proud and refuses to be abused by others. Isn't this the way for an elite to inspire the simplest patriotism?
However, if that were all, Zhao Jiu would only admire and respect this national hero whom he had just met for the first time, and would not be so rude. The real reason that made him have these impulses was actually the almost humble attitude of the other party today.
.
It’s really low!
And this almost lowly attitude was probably only noticed by Zhao Jiu, who had been an official for more than a year. The others could only see Zong Rulin relying on his old age and acting aggressively.
The key lies in Zhao Jiu's status as an official... To put it bluntly, what is the meaning of taking an oath to an emperor? Let alone an oath made in front of only a few people in the hall? And those who don't feel hurt
What real harm can there be from a non-itchy ridicule?
Not only that, what Zhao Jiu wants here is the control of the Tokyo Remaining Department. Is there any substantive evasion or threat from the other party?
No! The other party even took the initiative to hand over, okay?
It can be said that Zong Xianggong has been delaying until now. In the past, it can be said that he was holding on to wait for the results from Yanling. After learning the news in the next two days, he was just thinking about whether he could meet Zhao Guan's family.
Then make a symbolic handover in person to reduce disputes.
He didn't even ask, nor dared to ask, whether Zhao Guan's family would take over the troops and then return to Nanyang as soon as the situation stabilized, abandoning Tokyo, which he had defended for more than a year?
This is simply a bit humbling.
Of course, compared with the hope of reviving the country, it seems that everything is worthy of Zhao Guanjia's affirmation. When Zongze saw him coming, he was not only resentful in his heart, but also extremely happy and indescribably excited.
But this kind of feeling can only be understood between the two of them, but it comes too late.
"Does the official family have poetry?" In a daze, Zongze asked again about Zhao Guan's family. "Both Hu Zhongcheng and Lin Xueshi are good at poetry..."
"How can I have that ability?" Zhao Jiu couldn't help laughing, and instinctively wanted to refuse, but after the words came out, he changed his words like a ghost. "However, I returned to the old place today, and I sighed in my heart, I have gained something..."
The people below did not dare to neglect, and the people left behind in Tokyo who had gathered since the banquet was moved to the courtyard came forward to offer paper and pen, and then turned on the lights to face each other.
Zhao Jiu was silent for a moment, then looked at the moonlight above his head, and then carefully used his Huang calligraphy to write an inappropriate poem.
As the saying goes:
The east wind blows thousands of trees into bloom at night.
It blows down even more, and the stars are like rain.
BMW's carved car fills the road with fragrance.
The phoenix flute sounded, the jade pot turned light, and fish and dragons danced all night long.
Moth snow willow golden strands.
The laughter is full of fragrance.
People look for him thousands of Baidu.
Suddenly looking back, that person was there, in a dimly lit place.
The song "The Sapphire Case" was forced to be written during the Shangyuan Festival. Some people in the audience who were capable of literary appreciation were dumbfounded and did not mention it. When it was passed to Zong Ze, Zong Xianggong could no longer see clearly, so he could only let Lin Jingmo step forward and chant.
Recite relative.
After listening to this, Zongze shook his head and smiled bitterly: "The population of Tokyo is now less than 200,000, and there have been no lanterns for several consecutive years... However, after all, it is a good word, and a wonderful word... Guanjia?"
"I am here."
"Isn't this an old saying from layman Yi An?"
"no."
"So the officials are gradually remembering the stories of Tokyo back then?"
"Yes." Zhao Jiu clasped his hands and sighed softly. "I remember...it was the story back then, and it is unforgettable now."
Zongze smiled and nodded repeatedly: "As long as the officials remember it, it will be engraved in my heart... And with this poem as the foundation, I am already satisfied. I forgive my old age, and please go back and rest."
"My lord, stay here and go." Zhao Jiu's heart moved slightly, and he immediately stood up with his hands tied and led his ministers to stand in awe.
Zong Ying, who had long been worried that his father's body would not be able to hold on, quickly helped his father up and moved from the side of the hall into the backyard in front of everyone's attention until he disappeared.
The next day, the Zhao Guan family, who lived in the grand and bleak Imperial City of Tokyo, learned two pieces of news.
In the early morning, Zong Ying entered the palace wearing Xiao and informed Zhao Guan's family that his father, the Privy Envoy of the Song Dynasty, stayed behind in Tokyo. Zong Ze, the deputy marshal of troops and horses, suddenly died of illness on his bed at night. He was seventy years old.
After the news spread outside the palace, it was said that Zong Liushou had left a poem "Shi'er" before his death last night.
The poem says:
After death, I know that everything is in vain, but I am sad that I will not see the same Jiuzhou. Wang Shibei fixed the day of Lianghe, and did not forget to pay tribute to Naiweng.
But after he left the poem, he became confused and unclear. It was not until his death that he finally returned to the light, but he shouted for a long time to cross the river, and died after three calls.
In the city of Tokyo, everyone from Zhao Guan's house on down couldn't help but burst into tears.
Only Shang Xia had expected it, but it couldn't be called an accident.
But in the evening, when the city of Tokyo was in mourning, Han Shizhong suddenly sent a messenger on Pegasus to report that Wanyan was so lazy that he ran away and abandoned Zhengzhou again and crossed the Yellow River to the north.
Only one of the five isolated troops of Yelvma was at a loss. On this day, they ran into Han Shizhong's forward Li Qiong and other troops. The two sides fought. The Jin army was victorious at first, but when Han Shizhong himself arrived with most of the Song army, the situation was reversed. In the end, Yelu
Ma Wu was defeated in Zhengzhou Prefecture and was defeated at the gate of Zhengzhou City. He then had to rely on the strength of his cavalry to forcefully escape from the battlefield. However, his footing was unstable all the way and he did not even dare to cross the river. In the end, he had to flee to Luoyang in the west of Xijing.
