Volume 9 Turning the Heavens Chapter 738 [Rampant]

Compared with Zhao Ji's panicked southward escape, Zong Wangke was much more rampant. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

First of all, on the first day of the siege, after obtaining the cattle and sheep that had escaped outside the Nanxun Gate and were abandoned due to panic, he also sent a cavalry army to the villages within a radius of fifty miles to burn, kill, and plunder.

Then, while sending envoys to ask for a sky-high price, he also proposed that Bianliang should also supply grain and grass to his army, and if he did not comply, he would attack immediately. Even after the envoy who entered the city to quote returned, he learned that after listening to the offer, the Song court all had a relieved expression on their faces, and sent envoys into the city to ask for wine, food and songs, and finally the Song court really sent dozens of truckloads of good wine and meat to the Jin army outside the city, and sent people to collect hundreds of singers in the city to prepare to send them to the Jin camp, but when they left the city, they were stopped by Li Gang but failed.

As for the news in the city, although the Jin army blocked almost all the gates in Tokyo, it could not seal the waterways, so Huang Jie's arrangement in the city also sent a steady stream of news.

It is said that at the beginning, when he heard the news of the Jin army's southward movement, Zhao Heng was even more frightened than his father Zhao Ji, and even when Zhao Ji passed the throne to him after fainting, he was so frightened that he ran to Zhao Ji's bedroom and cried for a few hours, and finally agreed to succeed to the throne under the persuasion of Zheng and Zhu.

After that, seeing that the Jin army was constantly moving south like a broken bamboo, Zhao Heng was also scared day and night, and even after hearing that his father actually ran away, he also gathered a few henchmen to buy civilian clothes and wanted to follow in the footsteps, and finally Zong Ze and Li Gang had a good persuasion, patting their chests to ensure that they could retreat from the enemy, and then coaxed him.

As for the arrangements for retreating from the enemy in the city, Huang Jie also found out through the inside line placed by Li Gang and Zong Ze. First of all, the two of them were extremely shocked by the accurate prediction of the unpredictable prophet in the "Bianliang Codex", but one Zong Ze is an experienced and proficient official, and the other Li Gang is also a wise general with a steady temperament and good at planning, and the preparations have been fully done this year.

First of all, although they fully understood the prediction of the high mobility and strong siege ability of the Jin people, they accepted the strategy of letting go of the outer city to attract the Jin army, and then arranging ambushes to block the outer city and lock the Jin army by virtue of the inner city holding on, but they still repaired and strengthened the city defenses of the inner and outer cities according to the Song army's conventional city defense tactics.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, after Zong Ze served as the left-behind guard in Tokyo, the general trend was to investigate the phenomenon of redundant soldiers, redundant officials and empty salaries of the forbidden army, and slimmed down the forbidden army of 800,000 to the actual number of 270,000, and deployed according to the needs of internal and external garrisons, and now the troops are 50,000 elite infantry of the Fourth Army and 50,000 crossbowmen of the forbidden army to guard the inner city, and 120,000 forbidden troops to garrison the wall of the outer city.

In addition, the remaining 50,000, of which 30,000 were the Imperial Chariot Army, were scattered in front of the various gates of Tokyo in accordance with the plan in the "Bianliang Codex" of the Seed Master's Road, echoing the bed crossbow army at the head of the city and strengthening the defense. The only 20,000 cavalry withdrew from the Tokyo area ahead of schedule and lay in ambush near the north bank of the Yellow River.

And more importantly, they implemented the strategy formulated by Lao Chong and Huang Jie very well, and while strengthening the defense of the various gates in Tokyo, they demolished the urn city in front of Nanxun Gate, and did not give up the chariot to garrison, and now it really attracted Zongwang to station the main force outside Nanxun Gate.

It's just that there has been a turning point in the matter, that is, although Zong Ze and Li Gang have made a thorough plan and are well prepared, and patted their chests and promised Zhao Heng that they could hold Tokyo, and it was even very likely that they would repel or even annihilate the Jin army under the city, but Zhao Heng was still afraid to death, and there was also a peace faction represented by Wang Hao, Li Bangyan, and Zhang Bangchang in the court.

Looking at the Hong Kong Economic Journal, Huang Jie is not surprised that Wang Hao and Li Bangyan have surrendered, but Zhang Bangchang, who jumped out inexplicably, made him very impressed. After all, when he was in Tokyo, he didn't have any contact with Zhang Bangchang, but he didn't know his roots, and he didn't point out this person's deeds in Jingkang's troubles in the strange dream, so he didn't know anything about it, and he only knew that he was now a squire.

However, on the first day of the third month, Zhang Bangchang asked for an envoy and brought a deputy envoy named Qin Hui out of the city to Jinying. Subsequently, it is said that the two fought with Zongwang in Jinying, but they were detained because of the annoyance of Zongwang, which made the peace talks reach an impasse for a while.

Huang Jie got this news on the morning of the fourth day of the first month of March, and after reading the news, he felt inexplicable and didn't take it to heart, and took a nap as usual after having lunch at noon, but after waking up, he also sweated all over his body, and only then did he know who Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui were from the strange dream he had just made up.

Let's talk about Zhang Bangchang first, according to the information added by Qimeng, this person was originally born in Zhao Jichao Jinshi, and it seems that he has successively served as Shangshu Youcheng, Zuocheng, Zhongshu Shilang, Shaozai, Dazai and Subordinate Shilang and other positions. When the Jin soldiers besieged Kaifeng, he strongly advocated peace, and also went to the Jin country as a hostage with Zhao Gou, the king of Kang, to ask for land and compensation to negotiate peace.

After returning to the Song Dynasty, he was appointed as the envoy of Hebei Road to cut the land, and later the Jin soldiers captured Bianjing, abducted more than 500 people from the second emperor and the imperial family, and more than 2,000 civil and military officials returned to the north. It is the emperor with the name of the emperor, the country name Dachu, all in Jinling. Outside the Yellow River, except for the Western Xia Fengqi, the territory is still the same. The royal family of Sefuke, forever a vassal vassal. ”

However, Zhang Bangchang also knew that this was the ploy of the Jin State, which was to roast him on the fire, so he refused to accept it, and the Jin people warned him to think about it for seven days, and after seven days he did not ascend the throne to kill the minister, and set up troops to wash the capital with blood, so Zhang Bangchang was a puppet emperor for thirty-two days, known as the puppet Chu in history.

As for Qin Hui, Huang Jie also figured out that he should be Qin Hui, and he should have written a bad name.

It's just that according to the information added in the strange dream, it seems that this Qin Hui was still a direct minister at the beginning, but later it is said that after Qin Hui was captured by the Jin State, his temperament changed greatly after seeking an opportunity to get it back, and finally became a big traitor.

However, not long after Huang Jie woke up and recalled the strange dream, the latest news came from the channel, on the afternoon of the first day of the third month, the Jin people were angry that the Song court sent an envoy to humiliate the gold lord, and actually killed the delegation except for Zhang Bangchang and Qin Hui, and the rest of the more than ten people were all killed, and the corpses were abandoned outside the Nanxun Gate.

This golden man is really too rampant! (To be continued.) )
