Chapter 678 Finish Yan Zonghan's Murderous Moves

If the Jurchens in Jizhou City did not retreat, they could still say that Yan Zongwang was bluffing, but the Jurchens took the initiative to withdraw from Jizhou City, and they didn't even leave anyone to watch the gate, and the intention couldn't be more obvious. Of course, Yeluchun can send troops to take advantage of the situation to recapture Jizhou City, and I believe that Jizhou City will be obtained unscathed, but what's the point of doing that? As soon as the water comes, whether it is Jizhou City or Nanjing, it will have to become a piece of water. Last year, it snowed heavily, and after the ice and snow melted, it all entered the Yongji River, and after the beginning of spring, it rained a few times, and the water level of the Yongji River rose. Flooding Nanjing City with the water of the Yongji River, or in the spring, before it is released, is it definitely a joke, the water of the Yongji River is enough to flood the city of Nanjing? But Xuan is different from seven years, the water of the Yongji River is sufficient, it is really going to be dug up, and it can rush into the Yongding River from north to south.

The room was very quiet, Ye Luchun's face was pale, suddenly, he grabbed the chair next to him and slammed it on the column of the hall, with a click, sawdust flew, and a few pieces of wood chips also cut the back of his hand, "Ah God, are you bent on going against me Ye Luchun, why do you want to do this, thief old thief thief God", Ye Luchun's face was hideous and terrifying, his eyes were bulging, his hands were clenched, and he let the blood flow. The hoarse cry was filled with too much resentment and unwillingness.

Looking back on the past, Yelu Chun has too many things that cannot be forgotten, when Yelu Hongji succeeded to the throne, his life was in turmoil, and he continued to endure it, waiting for the opportunity of the Liaodong rebellion, taking this opportunity to cultivate power little by little, and finally enter the Xijin Mansion. Got rid of the shackles of Shangjing Yelu Hongji. Then. He was in high spirits. felt that his own spring had come, and later a qiē was also as he thought, his power continued to expand, and he almost put his hand into Dading Mansion, and Yelu Hongji had nothing to do about it, but on the Jungar grassland, all qiē changed, or rather. From the day he met Zhao Yougong again, fate began to joke with him. For many years, I was bent on marrying Yelu Nanxian, this woman was amazingly talented, noble, and powerful. Maybe Yelu Hongji also wants this woman, but most of them are just greedy for beauty and jealous of the people, but Yelu Chun is different, he knows deeply how much energy this woman has, and he has this woman. can be in the palm of more than 100,000 B room troops, and Dading Mansion can also go down without a fight. It's a pity. This qiē was all because of the appearance and destruction of Zhao Yougong, Yelu Nanxian, that woman actually chose that Han person.

"Abominable and hateful" roared from the house, Han Panqiao and some generals in the army had been guarding outside, hearing that the situation was a little wrong, for fear that something would happen to Yeluchun, they hurriedly ran in. Ye Luchun just scratched a little skin on the back of his hand, and it was fine, but at the moment, the mental state of His Royal Highness the King of Qin and Jin was really worrying, his hair was a little messy, and his eyes were abrupt, as if he was crazy.

"King, please put aside the wrath of the thunder for the time being, now that Wanyan Zongwang is determined to dig the Yongji River, I should wait to deal with it in advance, if I stay here, there is no hope" Han Bianyu was anxious, his words were sincere, and his face was a little unwilling, "King, the last general pleads, quickly return to Yizhou, and then make plans, this Nanjing City cannot be defended, there is a way to leave the green mountains without worrying about no firewood, and please make a decision as soon as possible."

Han Bianqiao is as unwilling as Ye Luchun, why is he so unlucky? The water level of the Yongji River has been very low for nearly a hundred years, and the water potential has eased, but the water level has skyrocketed this year. Listening to Han Panxiao's words, Ye Luchun's body trembled, and he sat down in the chair behind him, it was not the first time he heard this, leaving Qingshan without worrying about no firewood, hehe, how long can he Ye Luchun wait, he is not young anymore, but what Han Panqian said is right, he can still struggle when he leaves Nanjing, but staying in Nanjing can only become the soul of Wanyan Zongwang's knife. Gradually, Ye Luchun's eyes showed a bit of hideousness, hehe, Wanyan Er wants Nanjing City, okay, give it to him, but it can only be a lonely city, clenched his right fist, his head was not raised, and he said gloomily, "Pass the order, take away a qiē baggage, burn everything that can't be taken away, and don't take any of the people in the city." ”

didn't leave anything for Yan Zongwang, leaving his mouth to eat. Ye Luchun did this, which can be regarded as stabbing Wanyan Zongwang's key point, what does Wanyan Zongwang lack most? Of course, there is a shortage of food, and he is so insistent on going south, but Ye Luchun left hundreds of thousands of mouths in Nanjing City, Wanyan Zongwang must find a way to solve the problem of eating, otherwise these hundreds of thousands of people will riot. People, once they are about to starve to death, they are not afraid of anything, of course, Wanyan Zongwang can also take the initiative to slaughter these hundreds of thousands of mouths, but that will not benefit him at all, Wanyan Zongwang wants to rule Nanjing City, not go to Nanjing City to fight grass valley, so Yeluchun's strategy is very poisonous.

When the order of the garrison was conveyed, the Liao soldiers in the city became a group of outright mad dogs, they burned and looted in the city, as long as they used for food, gold, silver, jewelry, etc., all the robbing, if anyone dared to stop, the scimitar in their hands was not polite at all. For a time, the ancient Nanjing Xijin Mansion became a hell, and the Liao soldiers slowly withdrew from the Xijin Mansion for two days, in the face of this qiē, Wanyan Zongwang saw it in his eyes, and was angry in his heart, Yeluchun, a son of a bitch, was really ruthless, most of the people living in Nanjing City were Khitan people, and he could do it. Some people mentioned that Wanyan Zongwang took advantage of the situation to pursue and chase after him, but Wanyan Zongwang, who had never left room for others, refused, and he rarely showed great kindness, and retreated to Fangshan by Yeluchun and tens of thousands of soldiers and horses.

Wanyan Zongwang did this, which is somewhat puzzling, but for Wanyan Zongwang himself, he felt that it was necessary to do so, he did not send troops this time to exterminate Yeluchun, Yeluchun is a sick tiger waiting to die, it is the same when he fights, the most important thing is to take Xijin Mansion and open up the main road to the Great Song Dynasty in the south. Moreover, Wanyan Zongwang also needs Ye Luchun to complete his next plan, you must know that now the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin still have an alliance, and this alliance is still known to everyone, as an ally, take the initiative to occupy Nanjing and attack the Great Song Dynasty, who will dare to deal with Dajin in the future? Therefore, not only to fight the Great Song Dynasty, but also to find a reasonable reason, and these fell on Ye Luchun.

On April 18, the city of Nanjing officially changed hands. Now all of Yeluchun's soldiers and horses have retreated to the west of Fangshan. So as long as Wanyan Zongwang is willing. At any time, you can wave troops into Xijin Mansion. What is surprising is that Wanyan Zongwang did not rush to do this, and also ordered that all departments must strictly restrain their subordinates, and must not enter Nanjing City for half a step, in addition, the original Jizhou City and Shunzhou City defenders all withdrew to Danzhou in the north. Wanyan Zongwang's order really made countless generals of the Dajin Kingdom scratch their heads, our Khan King. If you don't occupy the city of Dahaozhou, you still take the initiative to let out the city that has been beaten down, and your head is kicked by a donkey, or is it a woman who is dazed and delirious?

No matter how dissatisfied the generals of the Dajin Kingdom were, the military order was the military order, and no one dared to disobey the order personally issued by His Royal Highness the King of Khan, so in two days, nearly 30,000 troops of the Dajin State withdrew from Jizhou City and Shunzhou City one after another. There is no offense against the city of Nanjing.

Is Wanyan Zongwang stupid? No, he's not stupid at all. It can even be said that he is extremely smart, he just wants to take the initiative to give Nanjing City and other places to the Song people, and give these cities to the Great Song Dynasty, which can be regarded as fulfilling the covenant, if anything happens in the future, it will not be considered a breach of the contract by the Dajin Kingdom, right? Moreover, although he wanted Nanjing City, he didn't want to spend food to feed those hundreds of thousands of mouths at this time, so it was better to let the Great Song Gang help. The Great Song Dynasty is very rich, but there is no shortage of food, then after the Song army occupies the city of Nanjing, it will definitely transport grain to supply the people of Nanjing, and when the time is almost right, it is good to recapture Nanjing, when the time comes, not only Nanjing City is their own, but also a batch of grain, isn't it beautiful?

The Great Song Dynasty also had an army to defend the city? Hehe, Wanyan Zongwang has never put those weak Song soldiers in his eyes, as long as he wants to, he can defeat those so-called Liangjing forbidden army at any time, not to mention, the water of the Yongji River is indispensable, if you can drown Yeluchun, you can't drown the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty?

Since Wanyan Zongwang has decided to be a good person, he will make a big show, and he will write the world on the same day, and give Nanjing and other places to the Great Song Dynasty openly, so it is really shocking to the world. If you want to say what is the greatest wish of the official family of the Great Song Dynasty and even several generations of emperors, of course, it is to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, especially when the official Zhao Ji of the dynasty, who has been forced by his nephew to be anxious over the years, he wants to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and fight for the prestige lost. Because if the Dajin Kingdom really wants Nanjing, and does not let go, the Great Song Dynasty has no way, how fierce the soldiers and horses of the Dajin Kingdom are, Zhao Ji knows, the tens of thousands of forbidden troops of the Great Song Dynasty are still defeated and won less in the face of Liao soldiers who are less than their own, and many times they are beaten to the ground, but the soldiers and horses of the Dajin Kingdom can chase the ass of the Liao soldiers and beat them, so a comparison can be seen. When Dajin Guo's text came to Bianliang City, Zhao Jike was really happy, and on the same day, he asked people to inform the whole city of Bianliang to celebrate. Of course, the happiness of the Zhao official family has also brought a lot of benefits to a person, and this person is Tong Guan, the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Road. Originally, Tong Guan cooperated with the attack on Nanjing, but there were many defeats and few victories, especially after Ye Luchun reoccupied Nanjing, he plundered everywhere, and the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty were defeated, and now Zhao Guanjia is trumpeting how brave the forbidden army is to fight, and how powerful it is to capture the city, in short, look at the text drafted by Zhao Guanjia, it is simply said that the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty are invincible in the world, and the city of Nanjing is completely recaptured by the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty in one go, so the recapture of the sixteen states of Yanyun is the credit of the forbidden army of the Great Song Dynasty, and it is the glory of his son of heaven of the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Ji is so promoted, can he blame Tong Guan again? If you still blame Tong Guan, won't it become a slap in the mouth?

As others expected, when Tong Guan was busy letting people occupy Jizhou and other places, an order was issued to Nanjing, ordering Tong Guan to return to Beijing and reward him for his meritorious deeds. Tong Guan stood at the head of Nanjing, looked at the distant south, sighed silently, raised his hand and stroked a few beards, his face was full of self-deprecating smiles, hehe, under the whole world, he can still be rewarded for his meritorious deeds after defeating the battle, I'm afraid he Tong Guan is the first person in the past, right? The Great Song Dynasty celebrated the whole country, but Tong Guan, as the commander of the Northern Expedition, was not as optimistic as the people in Bianliang City, he had some understanding of Yan Zongwang, the second prince of the Jin Kingdom was scheming, insidious and vicious, a typical unprofitable lord, he took the initiative to give up Nanjing and other places, would it be a good thing? Moreover, there are a lot of messes in Nanjing City now, first of all, there is a shortage of food, although there is surplus food in the army, but it will not last long, and it has to be used to mobilize food to come to Nanjing City.

He has been in charge of the army for so many years, Tong Guan's power in the army is incomparable, he walked at the head of Nanjing, and several commanders followed him respectfully. In fact, several commanders were also a little puzzled, and the civility of the official family was obviously a good thing. But why is Tong Shumi's face still sad? Come to the corner of the battlements. The commander Fu Chenghuan asked forward. "Dashuai, the official family transferred you back to Beijing to discuss meritorious deeds, why are you still depressed?"

Tong Guan frowned, his eyes narrowed, his hand stroked the battlements, and said with a faint smile, "You guys, you're all too careless." I don't want to think about who Wanyan Zongwang is, do you think that Wanyan Second Prince is like a compassionate master? If Yan Zongwang took the opportunity to blackmail something from our Da Song, he wouldn't feel strange, but he didn't ask for anything, and he was so generous, Ben Shuai felt uneasy. ”

Tong Guan was really uneasy, but he just couldn't figure out what Wanyan Zongwang was going to do, maybe this was the most terrifying, right? I know that others have conspiracies, but I can't prevent them, and the most distressing thing is. Tong Guan couldn't and didn't dare to say to Zhao Ji, and now the official family has long been carried away by joy. Didn't saying these words make the officials unhappy?

Two days later, Tong Guan returned to Bianliang City, the next day at the court, in front of the civil and military officials, Yang Lian read out the holy message, saying that my Song Dynasty soldiers and horses were brave and good at fighting, conquering the city, and only then did they return triumphantly, but also thanks to Tong Guan's proper command, Tong Guan is hereby crowned as the privy envoy of the Privy Council, leading the Duke of Xu. Don't look at the actual position, it's just a sub-word, but there is a world of difference between the deputy privy envoy and the privy envoy, especially Xu Guogong, who is a big eunuch with Tong Guan, can be the prince of the country, which is simply the pinnacle of martial arts. Anyway, during the reign of Emperor Huizong, anything strange could happen. Tong Guan was naturally grateful, but he was very worried in his heart after all, just looking at the joyful face of Zhao Guanjia, he swallowed back the words when they came to his mouth.

On the same day, it was decided to feast the ministers in Genyue Garden, so the court meeting quickly dispersed, Tong Guan was not in a hurry to leave, he leaned on the inside of the palace gate and waited patiently for a person, when Gong Zhan came out of the imperial study, Tong Guan hurriedly greeted him. Tong Guan had the heart to tell the official family about the worries in his heart, but he didn't have the courage to say it himself, so the best way was to ask Gong Zhu next to the official family to relay it on his behalf. may have such and such dissatisfaction with Gong Zhen, but there is one thing Tong Guan has to admit, that is, Gong Zhu is very capable and worthy of the trust of the officials. Over the years, Gong Zhu has quickly become a scholar of Wenyuan Pavilion with a white body, and he is a very popular minister, saying that he is not the first favorite minister, no one believes him.

Gong Zhan saw Tong Guan from a distance, so he took the initiative to smile and said, "Congratulations to Tong Shumi, this Northern Expedition and the capture of Nanjing, you have made immortal contributions to my Great Song Dynasty." ”

For some reason, after listening to Gong Zhen's words, Tong Guan felt panicked on his face, he hurriedly replied, pulled Gong Zhen's sleeve, and the two came to a corner, after making sure that no one passed by, Tong Guan made a big salute again, "Gong Bachelor, Tong did have a lot of offends in the past, but there are a lot of Gong Bachelors, don't worry about it!" ”

Gong Zhu was curious, and couldn't help laughing, "No, no, you and I are officials in the same dynasty, political discord, mutual disputes, it is inevitable, this big gift, Gong Mou can't stand it." Tong Shumi, if you have any business, please tell me clearly! ”

Seeing that Gong Guan was so bold, Tong Guan did not hide it, and poured out his thoughts, Gong Zhen kept squinting and listening carefully, when Tong Guan finished speaking, he contemplated for a moment, and then lowered his voice and said slowly, "Tong Shumi, what you are worried about is exactly what Gong is worried about, but have you ever thought that such a simple truth, the official family will not know?" When did Yan Zongwang suffer a loss, didn't the official family know to worry? In short, Gong Mou will not say these words to the official family, how to do it, Tong Shumi decides for himself! ”

Gong Jian just said a few words, Tong Guan was stunned, thought about it carefully, couldn't help but pat his forehead, and then closed his eyes in pain. Yes, the official family is not a fool, will he not know the strangeness, but he still pretends not to see it, and celebrates the reward in a big way, why is this? The reason is too simple, His Majesty feels that he can give up something, but he must take the matter of subduing the land of Yanyun seriously, because he is about to be driven crazy by His Royal Highness King Qin.

In the end, Tong Guan left the palace with his head down and lonely, looking at the back of the customs clearance, the corners of Gong Guan's mouth curled, revealing a meaningful smile, which seemed to be mockery and sigh.

Bianliang City celebrated vigorously, Genyue Garden was brightly lit, and at this time in Taiyuan Mansion, Zhao Yougong was also thinking about things with his eyebrows. Wanyan Zongwang is really ruthless enough, and he gave up Nanjing to the Great Song Dynasty so generously.

Nanjing returned to the hands of the Great Song Dynasty, the first step was almost over, and the next step was Yeluchun. Zhao Yougong hoped that Ye Luchun would surrender to Zhao Guan's family, because then Wanyan would find a reason to pounce on the land of Hebei like a mad dog. However, Zhao Yougong is not in a hurry, because it is Wanyan Zongwang who is in a hurry. At the end of April, all parties in the vicinity of Nanjing Xijin Mansion were safe, and in a short period of time, Nanjing Xijin Mansion actually had a false prosperity scene in early summer, and in this way, time flew to June.

In June, the lotus flowers in the pond are in full bloom, and the scorching sun is like fire, and in this hot season, there is a sudden change. On the fifth day of the sixth month, 5,000 Jurchen soldiers and horses suddenly appeared at the foot of Baima Mountain, and launched a fierce attack on the defense line of Baima that night, and the battle lasted for three hours, and by the time the sky was dark, the Jurchen soldiers had completely occupied Baima Mountain. When the matter reached Yizhou City, Ye Luchun was so shocked that his eyes almost fell to the ground, why did White Horse Mountain lose so quickly, the reason is that it was not someone else who led the army to attack White Horse Mountain this time, but Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan is brave and strategic, and in terms of marching and fighting, he is second only to Wanyan Sheng, Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Gao, and is a few points more powerful than the four princes Wanyan Zongbi. He ordered the army to go out day and night, silently arrived at Baima Mountain, and then sent troops to attack and harass the feint, successfully rounded the west side of Baima Mountain, launched a fierce attack from the flank, and was immediately killed and lost due to the untimely response of the Liao army. With the loss of White Horse Mountain, there is no barrier in the north of Yizhou, and Ulzhou in the west has also been reoccupied by the Dingguo Army. If Wanyan Zonghan can't be driven out of White Horse Mountain, then there is no point in defending Fangshan in the east, so Ye Luchun made a quick decision and led Han Pangxiao to lead nearly 10,000 soldiers and horses to the area of Baima Mountain. Han Panqian looked at the hills in front of him and rushed to a deep uneasiness, because he came all the way from Yizhou and didn't encounter a little obstacle, which was not a good sign. Stopping the horse, Han Bianqiao sent scouts to investigate the surroundings, and also strictly ordered to expand the range, and after an hour of stopping, the scouts came with a news that made Han Bianqiao's scalp tingle, and found a large number of Jurchen soldiers and horses, and now they have entered Taining Mountain from the Qifeng area. Hearing this news, Han Bianqiao felt a pain in his heart, he had heard for a long time that Yan Zonghan's combat use of troops was dangerous, which often made people dare not imagine, and it was really amazing when he saw it today.

Taining Mountain is located between Yizhou and Ulzhou, which can be said to go deep into the hinterland, and Wanyan Zonghan has no reinforcements, so he does this is a typical lone army going deep, if someone makes dumplings, there is no place to run. But it seems to be dangerous, but in fact it is a strange move, because the Han people in Ulzhou will not join forces with the soldiers and horses of Daliao to besiege Yan Zonghan, and Yan Zonghan also saw this point, so he dared to make a dangerous move. Knowing this trick, but Han Bianqiao has no temper at all, now there are nearly 20,000 people in Fangshan guarding the Han army in Nanjing City, after the Yizhou cities are scattered, there are less than 3,000 defenders in Yizhou City, if Yan Zonghan's army comes out of Taining Mountain to attack Yizhou City, wouldn't something happen? Without much thought, Han Panqian immediately turned over on his horse, waved his horsewhip, and shouted, "Go back to Yizhou, quickly change the rear team to the front team, and rush back to Yizhou City as quickly as possible."

It's really in a hurry, it's a hurry to go, nearly 10,000 troops showed their faces in the area of White Horse Mountain and disappeared, it seems chic, but for these nearly 10,000 soldiers, it is tantamount to suffering, from Yizhou to White Horse Mountain, the cavalry is okay to say, but those foot soldiers are really tired and vomiting blood.

On May 13, a huge army appeared at the foot of Taining Mountain, this is the soldiers and horses led by Wanyan Zonghan, in the evening, looking at Yizhou City from afar, the corners of Wanyan Zonghan's mouth were upturned, full of confident smiles. Now all that remains is to wait, and when the sky is completely dark, he will drive Na Yeluchun out of Yizhou in one fell swoop.

At the beginning of the time, when the soldiers and horses led by Yan Zonghan began to sneak eastward, the moonlight in the sky was bright, so there would be no inconvenience to the march. (To be continued......)
