Chapter 115: A Rare Opportunity
"General, if you surrender to our big gold, we will reward you heavily, if you want money or officials, you can do whatever you want, as long as you are willing to sacrifice the city!" Han Li didn't look at others and didn't buy it, he could only see if he could recruit the guards of the Xijing Army.
"When we meet someone who understands and speaks better than those who came before us, and says that if we don't give up the city, they will trample us into powder, and can they scare us with those? If you say something nice earlier, why bother with a knife or a gun! As Zhuge Hong spoke, he secretly ordered a team of gunmen to step forward, and he saw clearly that there were only 100 sergeants who could not come forward with Han, and there were only more than ten people around Zhao Ji.
Zhuge Hong felt that this was an opportunity, if he suddenly opened fire and killed the Jin army under the city, and then blocked the front of the city with artillery fire and machine guns, and isolated the Jin army from the Emperor Taishang with firepower, he then went down to the city to rescue people and rushed them into the city.
"General don't blame, they are all rough people, they don't understand etiquette and offend, and their words are a little offensive, please forgive me, this commander will definitely be punished when he goes back!" Han Li couldn't help but slow down, and said warmly.
"Thank you, please report your name and surname, otherwise how can you know if you are true or false!" Zhuge Hong shouted loudly.
"Ben Shuai is inseparable from Yan Han, he has always believed in his words, and he can respond to any requirements!" Han Li replied immediately.
"Okay, I'm not so greedy, it's like asking for money to give to everyone..."
"If you want Zhao Ta to come out and answer, is he, a kingless and fatherless thing, turn a blind eye to me?" Zhuge Hong's plan has been decided, and he Han will not talk nonsense, and arrange fire support and commandos. was about to go out of the city to save people, and suddenly Zhao Ji, the emperor under the city, went crazy. He yelled loudly and angrily on the horse.
It turned out that there was a lot of arguing between the city and the city, and Zhao Ji found that he had become a redundant idler at the moment. After all, he is a noble-born person who has been the supreme leader of the country for more than 20 years, but now he is treated as a useless waste by others, and this feeling of neglect makes him angry and helpless. When the people up and down the city began to bargain, the anger in his heart finally could not be contained.
"There is fraud, retreat!" Zhao Ji's angry roar came at an inopportune time, Han Li didn't react immediately, it seems that the lord of Xijing is the King of Qin in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise how could this old man be so angry.
Zhuge Hong in the city was even more angry. I couldn't help but choke my wrists, why was my grandfather so breathless, wait a while, and I would be able to save people when I was ready. But the opportunity was fleeting, at this moment, Han Li immediately hid behind Zhao Ji, and the golden soldiers around him also came out of the sheath and crossed Zhao Ji's neck, Zhuge Hong could only give up the attack, watching Han Li take Zhao Ji hostage away from the city!
Han Li was not shocked and angry, he almost fell into the way of that kid again. let him be fooled, but there is also joy in it, which confirms the relationship between Xijingjun and Zhao Er. Then he has the Great Song Dynasty Emperor in hand, so he has the capital to bargain further. Why worry that the Xijing army is not submissive, and the remnants of Liao also have to bow down to the vassals, and they will have to help themselves at that time. What are you afraid of Zong Han, thinking of this, his eyes looking at Zhao Ji were also much softer...
In the Akuta era. The Minister of State, Sagai, already enjoyed extremely high power, and after Sagai's death. His position in the kingdom has been fully inherited by his eldest son, Yan Zonghan. He is the left deputy marshal of the Jin Army, and there is also a nominal leader above, that is, Marshal Du Yan Xianye, but Xianye is not actually in charge of the army.
According to the Jurchen tradition, the order of succession to power is "brother and brother", so after Ah Gu died, Wu Qimai inherited the throne, and Xian was already the next heir. And Wu Qimai named him the marshal of the capital, which is equivalent to clarifying his status as the heir to the throne, but he himself cannot directly command any army, so the real leader of the Jin army system is actually Zong Han as the left deputy marshal.
Zong Han himself is extremely loyal to Aguta, but his loyalty to Wu Qimai is ordinary, especially after the successive destruction of the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, Zong Han's power is getting bigger and bigger, and Wu Qimai has already shown signs of not being able to control him. As the right deputy marshal, Wan Yan Han is not the biological son of Aguta, and he is also related to Wu Qimai, so he is more loyal to Wu Qimai in comparison, and he is not very convinced by Zong Han, and there is a certain contradiction and competition between the two sides.
Take this time as an example, if the Jin State concentrates its troops to send troops from Hebei, it is obviously based on Han Libu, but in fact, it is Zong Han who commands Han Libu, especially after besieging Bianjing, almost all of them are operated by Zong Han, and the disagreement between the generals of the two Jin armies is actually a master-slave struggle, but also a power struggle.
On the issue of dealing with the heir of the Great Song Dynasty, the contradiction between Han and Zong Han has intensified, but in fact, he is rational and even wise on this issue. He has a little shadow of a good face, and he naturally knows how to be a successful person. He knew what the advantages of the Jurchens were, and he understood what the flaws were, so he was not so greedy, and he never wanted to swallow the land of the Han people in one gulp, and if he swallowed it like this, he would be strangled to death.
It's a pity that Han Li's suggestion not to be a neutral heir from the Zhao clan was vetoed, and it was Zong Han, an 'outsider', who replaced him, and Han Li didn't leave a bad impression of a good Jurchen who had a different heart, bent his elbows outward, and was not a good Jurchen who thought about the country and the people.
Now that the value of Zhao Ji has been re-identified, Han Li will never go to the city to persuade him to surrender again, but exchange letters with letters, but the city wants to start with no news, no one to receive them, but he is not discouraged, and is ready to talk about it tomorrow, he knows that the Great Song Dynasty is to rule the world with loyalty and filial piety, if a prince loses this, he will also lose the foundation of his life, Han Li does not believe that Zhao Ta will eventually give in...
Zhao Ji, who was brought back to Jinying, was still indignant, and he couldn't stop scolding his son for being unfilial along the way, and he actually disregarded his life because of a city, but he forgot how the edict he sent out was written. The two sons who followed him also complained to the second brother, and even if his father was tied up in the city, even if he refused to surrender and sacrifice the city, he could not fail to meet them.
Because they could not persuade the Zhending guards to surrender and sacrifice the city, the Jurchens were so angry that they didn't even give them dinner, and the three of them were tied up in a string and locked up in a small tent to suffer. Thinking that if the second brother still refused to surrender and sacrifice the city tomorrow, the Jurchens didn't know what kind of means Lu Dao would use to deal with them, they couldn't stop trembling, but they didn't know that today because of Zhao Ji's little temper, they lost a chance to be rescued!
………
"Is the situation clear?" In the Wuma cottage of Emperor Zan, Zhao Ta asked Jiang Feidao who inquired about the news, Ma Kuo was ordered to collect the Hebei Anti-Jin Righteous Army, he found Zhao Bangjie, who had occupied the mountain together as the king, he heard that the King of Qin led his troops to resist Jin in Hebei, and immediately expressed his willingness to surrender, Zhao Ta led the troops to fight in the periphery, so he took this as a base, and hid the soldiers and horses in the Wuma Mountain and waited for the opportunity to dispatch.
"Lord Yu, Wanyan Xiyin is really determined that it will be difficult to capture the loss of the army, and he will not ask for help from Hanli, yesterday Hanli did not lead the army out of Zhaozhou City to send reinforcements, and now there are less than 20,000 troops in the city, Baixiang and Gaoyi have thousands of people stationed each, and 10,000 people have been imprisoned in the three cities respectively, and the emperor and the queen mother are in Zhaozhou City!" Jiang Fei said. Next, he gave a detailed introduction to the situation.
When the Jin army set out from Bianjing, it was divided into seven groups and went north, and the plundered property and craftsmen and other people were grouped separately, of which the first, second, third, fifth, and sixth groups went to Yanjing on the same route as the fourth group taken by Zhao Ji, except for the first group and the second group that passed through early and smoothly, the rest of the groups were intercepted in the south of Zhongshan, and were stationed in Gaoyi and Baixiang respectively. These two cities were not large, and there was no special place for people, so they drew the ground as a prison, and used ropes to enclose people like cattle and sheep, and there was not as much place for goods and books as they were to be stored.
The fourth group where Zhao Ji is located are all princes, concubines and ministers who accompany the north, so they are all locked up in a compound called Qi Mansion in Zhaozhou City, which is specially guarded by the troops led by the capital of Wanhu Erluguan, but after Han left the city, Erluguan took over the city defense, and only 500 people were left in the compound where the Song prisoners were held, and there were only about 500 people in the courtyard, but not far from the compound, there was also a thousand-person team led by Meng'an Wuling Gasimo, who could be reinforced at any time.
"Is the prince trying to rescue the Emperor Taishang and his party?" Ma Kuo asked.
"That's right, now that these three Jin army garrisons are empty, it's our chance to rescue the captured people and clans!" Zhao Ta nodded.
"It's okay to say that the captured people are all outside the city, and we can rescue people by surprise attack, and we can even take the opportunity to capture the two cities. But the city of Zhaozhou is tall, and the emperor is in the city, it is difficult for us to break through the city in a short time. Why don't we wait for the Jin army to return north, we will launch an attack on the road and snatch out the clan returning north! Zhao Lian expressed his worries and suggestions.
"It's not easy, when marching, the men are caught in the middle of the army, and when they pass through the dangerous passes, they are all on guard, and the people are tied up, and if we can't get a single blow, we will fall into the same passive situation." Tiger generals are all commanding envoy Wang Heng said.
"Lord Wang, I thought I could give it a try, you see that the compound where my people are being held is only five hundred steps away from the west gate of Zhaozhou City, if we find a way to enter the city, sneak into the compound first to clear the Jurchens in the courtyard, and then use the compound as a stronghold to defend, keep the enemy out, and protect the hostages, we can avoid being threatened by the enemy army, and the periphery can calmly attack the city!" At this time, Erwa pointed to the map of Zhaozhou City and said. (To be continued......)
