Chapter 586: The Invasion of the Kingdom of Ze (5)

Fierce fighting on and off the walls lasted for a day, and only stopped the next day, at noon on September 15.

When Xue Changgong retreated from the city wall, he was already injured again, he was hit by an arrow, and the rest were all bruises from arrows. For some reason, he felt that this time the Jurchens were not as fierce as the last time, but it still caused great pressure on the soldiers in the city.

When his subordinates began to count the wounded soldiers, a banner appeared far northwest of Bianliang.

The city wall rang out loudly, and everyone was desperately running to the position of the guard, Xue Changgong squinted his eyes and looked over there, not far from the front of the city gate, his Shangguan was holding a long cylindrical thing and looking at it from a distance. After a while, an excited voice rang outβ€”

*****************

On the afternoon of September 14, Li Li left Bianliang from the western gate of the city, where there had never been a battle. The two warfronts came to the Jurchen military camp, and after the report, the war on the other side of the city wall continued. Wanyan Zongwang met with a group of Jurchen generals, and there was a solemn atmosphere in the big tent.

Different from the generosity and death in the Golden Palace, in the camp, Li Di almost did not negotiate with Zong Wang, all the conditions were agreed to in one go, and it seemed that he wanted to scare his Jurchen generals with a black face It was quite boring, and the two sides signed a peace treaty, and according to Zong Wang's previous requirements, they were all listed.

That night, Li Di was left in the Jurchen military camp, but the Jurchens did not give up the siege, and on the one hand, they sent the peace treaty back to Bianliang City. On the one hand, the assault on the Bianliang city wall is still being carried out.

In the early morning of the same day, Zhou Zhe used a seal on the contract and sent him out of the city. The next day, when it was close to noon, Zong Wang picked an hour, and Li Di officially submitted the peace treaty.

They weren't worried that the Wu Dynasty wouldn't admit it, but when they put Li Yan back, the variables did happen......

*****************

"The handsome man is here! The Western Army is coming! The million-strong army of the Western Army......"

"General Seed! The leader of the army is the king of Qin, and he has arrived at the foot of Bianliang City! The Jurchen army retreated as soon as they heard the newsβ€”"

Lots of messages. In the space of half a day. Flooded the entire capital. Bianliang boiled, and the division also walked out of the alum tower to watch the entry of the seed army into the city.

Zhou Zhe was also taken aback by the sudden good news, and at this time Li Di had already returned with a peace agreement. He hesitated. Took the dragon chariot out of the palace. Meet you at the city gates. Seeing the excitement in the city, Cai Jing was invited again.

"I didn't think much about the peace talks. I am remorseful, and now it seems that this matter is something I have thought about wrongly. Such a humiliating covenant, after I die, what face do I have to go to see my ancestors and ancestors. Master, you see this peace treaty, I want to repent. Is it too late? ”

Cai Jing lowered his eyebrows and thought for a moment: "It's really gratifying that the Holy Lord can think clearly and restrain himself from the precipice...... Belch. Halfway through his words, he suddenly reacted, and knelt on his knees, "The old minister was excited for a while, and said such a big rebellious remark, please condemn the saint!" ”

Zhou Zhe waved his hand generously: "It's okay, it's okay, I just had a wrong idea and thought about the wrong thing." The fact that the Grand Master can say this shows that you did not agree with me from the beginning, and you sat back and watched me make mistakes, which is why you are guilty! Master, is there such a gap between you and me? In the heart of the Master, I have become unable to listen to advice!? ”

His words were stern at this time, Cai Jing became even more honestly afraid, and Zhou Zhe then sighed: "It's okay, it's okay, it's okay, I and the Taishi are both at fault in this matter." At this time, I thought clearly, it's not too late, for the livelihood of the world, even if there is a bad contract, I have to memorize it, alas...... Taishi, get up quickly, come, I will help you, you are the elder of the three dynasties, although you are a courtier, you are also my elder, if I am wrong in the future, you should speak out......"

The emperor's chariot drove all the way to the city gate, and received the old commander of the Western Army, who was famous all over the world at this time.

Over the years, the Western Army has been resisting the invasion of Western Xia in the northwest, and as a military general, because of its strength, it is actually quite feared by the imperial court. Among the several families of the Western Army, in fact, the strength of the breed family is the strongest, and although the power of the old handsome breeder is not in the capital, but in Shaanxi, it is the authentic king of the northwest.

In the years when the Wu Dynasty joined Jin to resist Liao, the seed master Dao has been giving the capital a fold, and he has put forward opposing opinions, but the impact is not great. But also because of such a position, the seed master Dao offended Tong Guan, Wang Hao and others very deeply, two years earlier the Liao State was destroyed, Tong Guan recovered Yanyun Liuzhou, the momentum was unparalleled for a while, the seed master Tao was also in the northwest to Shishi, and has been living a reclusive life since then.

After receiving the order, the seed master Dao immediately set off, joined Yao Pingzhong of the Yao family, led the Yao family to ride 7,000 steps, and replenished the troops to more than 15,000 after arriving in Luoyang, and then went south with great fanfare. This arrival in Beijing is indeed because of his fame, which made the city boil......

********************

The unusual atmosphere enveloped the capital, and at the same time, it also shrouded the garrison of several large armies such as Wurui, Wuwei, and Wusheng. The news of the peace between the imperial court and Jin has come out, but at the same time, there is still a lot of information. Among them, the major master of the Seed Master Dao plus the seal inspection school, the Tongzhi Privy Council, and the Gyeonggi Lianghe Xuanfu Envoy, all the soldiers and horses of the Dao were commanded by him, and Yao Pingzhong was the commander of the capital, and on the day of the promotion of the Seed Master, Qin Siyuan rose up and was reappointed as the right minister.

The situation in the capital changed, and the Jurchens had once again moved their troops, but only sent envoys into the city to let the Wu Dynasty quickly fulfill the peace treaty, and the Wu Dynasty began to delay. In the various military camps outside the city, the atmosphere began to become more and more solemn.

During this time, Zhou Zhe became a little embarrassed, he nodded about the peace discussion, and the peace contract had been signed. On the surface, he said that he did not care about breaking the contract, but the words of the Jurchen envoy in the court had become more and more unpleasant, and he could not clearly express the breaking of the contract, and he could definitely not express his acceptance. At this moment, he felt that many people below might already be scolding him, and he couldn't even defend himself.

It is also because of this that he has a strong desire to fight a good victory.

At the beginning of the plantation of the master and Yao Pingzhong's entry into Beijing. He received them kindly. After all, the seed master Dao was old, and he was already slightly ill when he entered Beijing, but his thoughts were extremely clear, and when he talked to him, Zhou Zhe knew that this person was indeed capable. And Yao Pingzhong, who is a young Zhuang faction of the Western Army, has never disappointed him, and the heroic and sharp spirit on his body makes Zhou Zhe feel that he is not the same thing as these generals in the DPRK and China.

Although I am usually afraid. But now he could see the situation clearly. The Manchurian dynasty is up and down, and only the Western Army can fight the most.

However, after handing over the unified command of the hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city to the Seed Master, the old man seemed to be too cautious. At this time, all units of the Western Army were assembling. At the beginning of the southward movement of the seed master, the seed master army was gathered among the seed masters. At this time, he was also on his way over. The sick old handsome thinks. When all the armies are assembled, all the achievements are completed in one battle, and the party is on the right path. Yao Pingzhong has a different view on this. He felt that at this time, the Wu Dynasty had repeatedly delayed, and it was already strange, and if it dragged on, he was afraid that the Jurchens would have already prepared. In this regard, Zhou Zhe also agreed.

He talked to Yao Pingzhong and Seed Master Dao several times, and soon after, Yao Pingzhong's father Yao Gu led an army of 30,000 to come, which made Zhou Zhe's heart even hotter again, and kept urging the war. And in the process, he also saw through some other things.

He also talked about it when he played chess with the queen in the palace several nights in a row.

"Queen, I have also seen clearly, everyone has their own selfish desires, no matter how old you are or what position you occupy, it is difficult to avoid vulgarity."

"Why did you say this?"

"When the old minister entered Beijing, the whole city cheered, saying that he was the king of the northwest, which is not an exaggeration. In this battle, I have handed over the command of hundreds of thousands of troops outside the city to him, and Li Xiang will also cooperate with him, and there are also elite soldiers of the Yao family, he has not moved, queen, do you know what is going on? ”

The queen hesitated for a moment: "This battle is the national fortune of my Wu Dynasty, and it is more prudent to plant less, and the concubine thought to herself, it is inevitable?" ”

"Yes." Zhou Zhe smiled, but he had already seen through it in his heart, and paused slightly, "But what he thinks about is that he doesn't want the Yao family army to rob this feat, the leader of the division is only thirty or forty thousand, and at this time, inside and outside the city, the army is nearly 400,000, even if many people are unusable, they can still fight." It is said that there is a soldier and a bear, and the bear is a litter. Seed Master Dao, Yao Gu, Yao Pingzhong, these people are indeed famous generals in the world. They...... Not necessarily afraid of fighting, in fact...... Alas, they are all fighting for merit. ”

The emperor sighed and left a son. The queen was silent for a moment: "That...... What is the Holy Lord going to do? ”

"I have talked to them many times, and there are hints in my words, I just hope that they can work together, regardless of each other, so ......" The emperor, who had experienced various major events recently, paused, and looked at the moonlight, and his voice turned slightly lowered, "That's it...... It is the blessing of the Wu Dynasty and the blessing of the community......"

Chaotic situation, unpredictable people's hearts. Every bit of change inside and outside the city is gathering in the sky, and the weather is starting to get colder. Near Qixian County, on September 23, in the changing situation for several days, Ning Yi also felt the change in the atmosphere, and the situation in the capital began to tighten when it reached him.

As one of the operators of the Secret Investigation Division, he can indeed grasp first-hand information about the changes in various current situations. On the other hand, Qin Shaoqian has also received first-hand news from the military. That afternoon, the two got together and exchanged messages.

"Tonight, Yao Pingzhong is going out of the city to discuss with us about sending troops, I think, I'm afraid it doesn't mean to be a prince......" Qin Shaoqian was a little worried.

Ning Yi nodded: "The Dao of the Seed Master is too strong, and when he enters Beijing, the whole city shook. Tong Guan and Wang Huang forced him to be a priest at the beginning, but now they are afraid of him, and the saint is also a little jealous of him. You know...... The saint was originally afraid of the Western Army. ”

"My father also has a bit of a bad relationship with him, but if I really want to fight, I think he is more reliable than the Yao family......"

In the past, Qin Siyuan was a staunch main battle faction, and he was the direct driving force behind the scenes, so he didn't deal with the seed master Dao who opposed this action. It's just that the way of planting teachers is an army system, so it is directly opposite to Tong Guan and others. But speaking of it at this time, Qin Shaoqian still has more trust in this world-renowned old breeder.

However, as far as he is concerned, even as the highest military general of the Wurui Battalion, these things are not something he can decide and choose.

That night, Yao Pingzhong came over and discussed the matter with the leaders of several armies......

****************

On September 24, the sun is setting.

The whole land quietly moved.

The sun is not strong, late autumn is passing, the withered grass is flying into the sky, and winter is coming.

"Brother Yue!"

When he walked near the courtyard, Ning Yi waved to him over there, Yue Fei walked over, and some big cars stopped nearby, and many people followed.

Ning Yi handed him a military order.

"Brother Yue, you come with us tonight, we have to ...... Take care of what's in the car. Ning Yi looked at the sky, "However, the weather may be a little bad tonight." ”

"Young Master Ning, are you going to war?"

β€œβ€¦β€¦ It's possible. Ning Yi frowned and paused, "It's possible." ”

Night begins to fall......

********************

Mu Huogang, in the Jurchen camp, as usual, after nightfall, gradually from the noise to the quiet, gradually, people are sleeping.

The highly skilled scouts avoided the patrolling Jurchen rangers and returned in the direction they were coming. In the usual Jurchen camp, most of the soldiers in armor had already walked out of the tents, silently lined up, and mounted their horses.

In the dark color, Zong Wang rode on his war horse, perhaps feeling some unusual aura, the war horse shook its head slightly, Zong Wang leaned down and rubbed its neck: "Woo ......" he whispered.

"You say, why do the people of the Wu Dynasty think that this king will be jealous of the old man called the Seed Master Dao?"

He whispered a word, and the large number of generals around him did not speak.

- On September 15, after the arrival of the master in Beijing, the Jurchens, who were besieging the city, quickly withdrew their troops, on the one hand, because the negotiations had been completed, and on the other hand, there was indeed a consideration of not wanting to fight at both ends. But this tactical normality seemed to excite the people of the Wu Dynasty, and it has been rumored ever since that the Jurchens retreated due to the arrival of the Seed Master. So soon after, when the Jurchen envoy entered Bianliang, under the instruction of Wanyan Zongwang, he was arrogant to everyone else, and he still had great respect for the way of the master.

But for many people present - even Guo Yaoshi - could not understand the reason for the confidence of the people of the Wu Dynasty, to say that the heavens, the Dao of the Seed Master was just resisting the Western Xia in the west, and the Western Xia was powerful to say, and in front of the Liao State, it was just a dead dog, and the Jurchens' record was to destroy the entire Liao State in a few years.

But this qiΔ“ doesn't matter.

After a while, Zong Wang whispered again: "Why are the people of the Wu Dynasty so slow......"

……

The army wrapped in horses' feet walked up the dark field.

Most of the infantrymen also wrapped their boots and carried their weapons, and marched forward in silence.

The wind blew, and Yao Pingzhong raised his head.

In different directions, there were a total of 220,000 troops, and on this night, they surrounded Mu Huogang!

……

Zong Wang rubbed the neck of the war horse and looked at the spies who were half-kneeling in front of him to deliver the news. The face of this Jurchen military god is rugged, tall, and a pair of eyes are in the dim at this time, but they appear extraordinarily bright and deep. Inside, there are the bones of tens of thousands of people.

"Command the whole army." He reined in the reins of his horse and said in a low voice, "Strike...... Stomp them to death! ”

"Yes."

Soon after, the sound of horses' hooves turned to thunder, and huge waves rose in the darkness! (To be continued......)

PS: OK, the prelude is complete, the prom begins.
