Qian Song

Chapter 230 Emperor Maode's Concubine Zhao Fujin (Ask for a monthly ticket!)

...

Gan Junbing attacked fiercely in two groups, and two huge loopholes appeared in one's own defense.

This made many soldiers of the Song Army turn around and run down the city in fright.

But at this moment, He Guan, who was originally guarding the northern city wall, suddenly brought a large number of Song troops to kill.

Seeing these soldiers of the Song Army who had the guts to flee down the city wall without a word, He Guan shot at these deserters with his bow and arrows, and shouted loudly: "Those who dare to retreat without authorization will be killed without mercy!"

Intimidated by He Guan's thunderous tactics, the defenders on the west wall no longer dared to run away.

At this time, nearly a hundred soldiers had already climbed up the city wall.

Seeing this, He Guan took the lead and fought with these generals.

The first batch of soldiers who ascended first were all elites who had experienced many battles. They dare not say ten times with one blow, but there must be no problem with a Song army soldier who has not experienced the baptism of battle for four or five.

The key point is that the first batch of dry soldiers and soldiers carried a lot of thunderbolts, which allowed them to cause huge damage to the Song army.

If it wasn't for the soldiers of the Song Army who brought [-] reinforcements from He Guan, if it wasn't for He Guan who fought bravely with the spirit of mortals, and was injured by the bombing thunder and still fought to the death, don't look at these soldiers who climbed the city wall There are not many, and this piece of city wall will definitely be captured, and then slowly meet the arrival of the follow-up army.

however--

It is precisely because He Guan set an example that many soldiers of the Song Army became red-eyed and began to fight with the soldiers of the Qian Army. Regardless of the horror of the Thunderbolt, they rushed up against the Thunderbolt, and then hugged it whenever they had the opportunity. The soldiers of the Gan army jumped down to the city.

In the case of paying an unknown number of lives, and in the case of the veteran He Guanli fighting and finally dying for the country, it can be said that the soldiers of the Song Army finally repelled the soldiers of the army after exhausting all their efforts. This wave of attacks.

——This is mainly because Zhao Li did not plan to launch an attack here in advance, so the preparations here were not sufficient, so that the soldiers of the Gan army could only cross the river on rafts bit by bit, which in turn made the follow-up attacks of the Qian army difficult. If you can't keep up, otherwise, if there are ten more He Guans, no matter how hard the soldiers of the Song Army fight, they may not be able to resist the Qianjun's capture of this section of the city wall, or even Bianliang City in Tokyo.

On the other side, Gan Jun and Song Jun started a bloody fight at the gap where the explosive package exploded.

Several times, the soldiers of the Gan army broke into the city.

But for the first time, because Xu Churen came to the front line of the battlefield to command the battle, the morale of the soldiers of the Song Army was greatly boosted, and then they all fought bravely from top to bottom. out.

Soon, after the dry army gathered more and more, the soldiers of the dry army broke into Bianliang City again by relying on the powerful firepower of the Thunderbolt and the Tiger Crouching Cannon.

But after learning that the situation on the battlefield was not good, Zhao Ji's ninth son, Zhao Gou, hurried into the palace and asked Zhao Huan to send his personal guards to reinforce immediately.

At this time, a large number of Zhao's royal family and clans had escaped from Bianliang City in Tokyo and scattered in various states and counties.

However, there are also some royal families and clans of the Zhao family who did not leave Bianliang City in Tokyo.

For example, Zhao Ji's two younger brothers, King Yan and King Yue.

For example, Zhao Ji's fifth son Su Wang Zhao Shu.

For example, Zhao Ji's fifth daughter Maode Emperor Zhao Fujin and 21 daughter Roufu Emperor Zhao Duofu.

There is also Zhao Ji's ninth son Kang Wang Zhao Gou.

Zhao Gou's mother, Wei Shi, was born in a poor family. Before she was pregnant with Zhao Gou, she was only the lord of Pingchang County. During her pregnancy, she was granted the title of Jieyu. what forces.

Fortunately, Zhao Gouzi is enlightened, erudite and strong in memory. He reads more than a thousand words a day, and learns piano, chess, calligraphy and painting. He is especially accomplished in calligraphy. Liu Qi is successful, and his running script is round and smooth, vigorous and handsome, which is quite the essence of "two kings".

At the same time, Zhao Gou also practiced martial arts, and he was able to hold a bow to one stone and five fights, reaching the level of giving up students in martial arts (one stone and three fights).

It can be said that Zhao Gou is both civil and military.

For Zhao Gou's request, Zhao Huan hesitated, because if he sent his elite personal guards to reinforce, his safety would not be guaranteed.

Seeing Zhao Huan's hesitation, Zhao Gou persuaded him, "If the capital is destroyed, what if the officials have guards?"

Zhao Huan thought about it, and asked, "Who can rule it?"

Zhao Gou stepped forward and said, "If the emperor can trust the ninth brother, the ninth brother is willing to go."

Later, Zhao Gou said impassionedly: "When the country is in crisis, my Zhao family's children don't throw their heads and blood, who is willing to work for my Zhao family?!"

Zhao Huan felt that Zhao Gou was very courageous and responsible. He was very pleased, and then appointed Zhao Gou as the governor and led his personal guards to reinforce him.

Under the leadership of Zhao Gou, Zhao Huan's personal guards quickly arrived at the battlefield, and then joined the battle.

These Zhao Huan's personal guards, under the leadership of Zhao Gou, walked along the inner ring road to the city wall, and then leaned on the horse-faced war shed to hide behind the female wall and fired continuously at the Qian army.

Due to Zhao Huan's superb archery skills, many soldiers of the Gan army fell in response.

As a result, Qianjun was beaten out of Bianliang City in Tokyo again.

However, after a while, the Gan army repeated its old tricks, opened the way again with tiger squatting cannons and thunderbolts, and soon entered Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Xu Churen saw that the Qianjun's attack was too fierce, and the Song army seemed unable to resist. He quickly recruited thousands of death squads, and then went down the city to burn the Ganjun's raft.

At the same time, the soldiers of the Song Army fought bloody battles, and Zhao Huan's personal guards led by Zhao Gou also desperately shot and killed the soldiers of the Qian army.

After a large number of rafts were burned by the death squads of the Song Army, the Qianjun here in the gap was also somewhat weak.

The key point is that it was already dawn at this time, and the Song army could see through the morning light that the Qian army was feigning attacks in the east, south, and north directions. Therefore, they dispatched a lot of reinforcements from the other three directions to reinforce the west. Facing this city wall.

Li Cun picked up the binoculars and looked at the situation on the battlefield, and then ordered Ming Jin to withdraw his troops.

Seeing this, Zhao Li ran over to meet Li Cun unwillingly: "Please give me another hour, Your Majesty, I will definitely be able to take down Bianliang City in Tokyo."

This time, Li Cun did not bring those generals who had made great achievements, but only brought Zhao Li and other generals who had not had many opportunities to fight in the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Zhao Li really wanted to seize this opportunity to become famous in one battle and close the gap between him and generals such as Zhao Han'er, Han Shizhong, and Wu Jie.

But Li Cun gave Zhao Li the opportunity, but Zhao Li didn't grasp it.

Zhao Li was not reconciled to this, he was afraid that he would never have such a good opportunity to make great contributions in the future!

Li Cun patted Zhao Li on the shoulder and said, "Haste makes waste. If you spend some time filling in the moat, how can this battle come to an end?"

Seeing that Li Cun explained the key to his defeat in this battle, Zhao Li immediately understood that this battle must not go on.

Zhao Li didn't dare to disobey Li Cun's order, so he could only respond unwillingly: "No.", and then went to organize the retreat.

Let's talk about the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Seeing that the Gan army has retreated, from Zhao Huan down, people in the Zhao and Song Dynasties all secretly exclaimed luck!
Although the Qian army has retreated, the people of the Zhao and Song Dynasties have fully appreciated the strength of the soldiers, the strong will to fight, and the sharpness of the guns.

It is no exaggeration to say that many people thought that Tokyo Bianliang City must be lost this time.

If not, at the critical moment, the veteran He Guan reacted quickly, gave up part of the defense of the northern city wall, and personally reinforced the western city wall, which was extremely sacrificing.

If not, Zhao Gou invited Zhao Huan's personal guards who are powerful in combat.

If not, Xu Churen reacted quickly and sent a death squad to burn a large number of rafts of the Gan army.

If not, Song Jun worked hard up and down.

In this battle, the Song army will undoubtedly lose.

But even though he won the battle.

However, except for some low-level soldiers who don't understand anything, the others are not happy, only deeply heavy, even Xu Churen, who has been fighting all the time, is no exception.

Zhao Huan even called Li Bangyan and other prime ministers to the Palace of Funing to discuss countermeasures immediately.

Hearing that Li Yan, Zheng Wangzhi, Gao Shize and Li Ye had also returned, Zhao Huan immediately sent his servants to announce that the four of them had an audience.

In fact, until now, Zhao Huan has not figured out why the Daqian Dynasty launched such a ferocious attack when Li Yan and others went to Qingcheng as an envoy?

Li Ye went to visit Li Cun to make peace under Zhao Ji's order.

Calculating the time, it was almost a month ago.

Zhao Huan felt that Li Ye had been in contact with Gan Jun the most and might know more, so he asked Li Ye to report first.

As soon as Zhao Huan asked him to report the situation, Li Ye, who had already held back his stomach, immediately said: "The army is elite, the people are like tigers, the horses are like dragons, the mountains are like apes, the waters are like otters, their momentum is like Mount Tai, China is like eggs, and the enemy We are strong and we are weak, the imperial court should discuss peace with them as soon as possible..."

As soon as Li Ye's words came out, all Zhao Huanjun and his officials present were extremely shocked.

——Later, Li Ye's words spread to Bianliang City in Tokyo, which shocked the soldiers and civilians in Bianliang City in Tokyo. Many people gave Li Ye the nickname "Liu Ru Gi Shi" at the same time , I am even more afraid of the army!
Li Yan very much agrees with Li Ye's judgment on Qianjun.

Therefore, after Li Ye finished his views on the current situation, Li Yan then took the initiative to say: "The Qian army is indeed strong and strong, but our army is far behind. The enemy is strong and we are weak, so we cannot easily resist it. Song's repulsion of the Qian army's attack is only due to luck, not the power of battle, so it should be done quickly, not delayed."

Li Yan's words touched the hearts of many people, and it was rare that even Xu Churen, who had been fighting before, did not speak out against it.

In fact, after seeing the real combat effectiveness of the Gan army and the sharpness of the Gan army's firearms, Xu Churen regretted not letting Zhao Huan escape to Shaanxi.

It's not that Xu Churen is cowardly, but that Xu Churen is really not sure of repelling the attack of the Gan army again.

After Zhao Huan and his ministers calmed down for a while, Zheng Wangzhi came out, and then reported the process of their envoy to Qingcheng truthfully, and took the initiative to say: "Emperor Dagan has a great appetite, and he is about to separate Hebei and Hedong. He also asked for ten million ingots of gold, twenty million ingots of silver, ten million bolts of silk, and ten thousand horses and oxen."

Hearing that Li Cun asked for conditions that Zhao Song Dynasty could not agree to, Xu Churen said: "The money for rewarding teachers is really an astronomical figure. My Great Song Dynasty exhausted the whole world, and it is not enough to make up the number. How about a city? It must be paid for." The policy is to reduce it to a reasonable amount. Hebei and Hedong are the barriers of our Great Song Dynasty, and they govern dozens of counties, and the dangers of Tangluo are all in these two places, and we all know that the Emperor Daqian did not just want to Hebei and Hedong want to connect the Central Plains with their territories, and cut them off at the time of the land, how can we establish a country in the Song Dynasty? Besides, Baosai is the place where the tombs of Yizu, Shunzu, and Xizu are, so how can we treat them with others?"

Xu Churen also said: "For today's plan, it is better to delay the army in the name of peace talks and delay for a few days. When the army of King Qin of the Great Song Dynasty gathers in all directions, he will go deep into the hinterland of the Great Song Dynasty with a single army. He will not dare to stay for a long time. He will be afraid of me. The Great Song captures the thief first and captures the king first. When it comes to the land, although what they get is not what they want, they must return quickly. Later, the Great Song will make an alliance with the Dagan according to the situation, and use heavy troops to protect the Qian army. In this way, the Dagan will not If you dare to despise me, Great Song, the peace between the two dynasties will last for a long time."

Xu Churen said it very well, no, it should be said that Xu Churen's cake paintings are very good.

But the question is, will the Dagan Dynasty let the Zhao Song Dynasty lead it by the nose?

At this moment, a servant from the front line came to report: "Your Majesty, something is wrong, the dry army is concentrating its forces to fill the moat, and the speed is very fast, within three or two days at most, I am afraid that several siege routes will be filled. "

When Zhao Huanjun and his ministers heard this, they were all shocked!

In the battle last night, everyone knew (if they didn't know it, I heard people who understood it clearly), the reason why the Qian army failed to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo was mainly because the speed of the Qian army crossing the moat was too slow, which caused the subsequent powerless.

Nowadays, the Gan army is already making up for this deficiency. The day when the Daqian Dynasty's military path is completed, I am afraid that it will be the time when the city of Bianliang in Tokyo is broken.

Delay?

In this case, how to use the strategy of delaying the army? Will the Dagan Dynasty give the Zhao and Song Dynasty a chance to use the strategy of delaying the army?
Zhao Huan quickly looked at his group of chief ministers.

As a result, even Xu Churen, who was yelling happily just now, frowned and remained silent.

Seeing that no one spoke, Zhao Huan looked at his Prime Minister Li Bangyan.

No, Li Bangyan suddenly winked at Zhao Huan.

Zhao Huan was very clever, and immediately realized that Li Bangyan wanted to express his opinion to him alone.

Zhao Huan was very eager to know whether Li Bangyan had a plan to retreat from the enemy.

Therefore, Zhao Huan waved his hands at Zhang Bangchang and the others, and said, "Everyone, please go back and think about how we can retreat from this powerful enemy and preserve our Great Song Ancestral Temple. If there is a good strategy, I will not hesitate to reward you."

All the chief ministers listened to the words and left.

Li Bangyan also left with everyone.

But soon Li Bangyan came back alone.

Seeing this, Zhao Huan asked: "What is Aiqing's good strategy to defeat the enemy?"

Li Bangyan didn't answer, just said: "I would like to ask for a moment."

Seeing that Li Bangyan was so cautious that even the eunuchs were on guard, Zhao Huan couldn't help but look forward to it, and then kicked out the servant.

Only Zhao Huan and Li Bangyan were left in the hall.

Li Bangyan said: "What Li Jishi and Li Shumi said must be true. The dry army is by no means a powerful enemy in our Great Song Dynasty. Moreover, the dry army is approaching the city now, and our Great Song Dynasty is not prepared enough. The only way is to negotiate a peace. It can preserve my Dasong Jiangshan community."

Zhao Huan said: "I also want to negotiate peace, but Emperor Daqian has too much appetite. He asks for conditions, and I, Song Dynasty, can not agree to any of them."

Li Bangyan was silent for a while, and then tentatively said: "It is inevitable to cut off Hebei and Hedong."

Zhao Huan was also silent when he heard the words—how could he not know that the Dagan Dynasty had planned the Northern Expedition for so long, and if they didn't cede Hebei and Hedong to the Dagan Dynasty, how could the Dagan Dynasty give up?
Zhao Huan did not continue this topic, but said again: "The amount of gold, silver, silk and silk is not something that my Song Dynasty can handle."

Seeing this, how could Li Bangyan not know that Zhao Huan was thinking about ceding Hebei and Hedong to the Daqian Dynasty?
However, Li Bangyan did not point out this point, but followed Zhao Huan's words and said: "The amount is indeed too large, and it should be given to Daqian 100 million taels of gold, 200 million taels of silver, 100 million pieces of silk, cows, horses, etc. Each has a thousand, and the sheep have a thousand."

Zhao Huan said: "I'm afraid that the big work will not reduce it to this point."

This time, Li Bangyan was silent for a longer time.

It wasn't until Zhao Huan's patience was almost worn out by Li Bangyan that Li Bangyan said again: "I have been on a mission to Dagan, and I heard the words of the minister Tian's appearance. Di Ji is the ultimate beauty in the world, but it's a pity that there is no destiny."

Zhao Huan is just timid and cowardly, not a fool, how could he not understand what Li Bangyan meant by saying this?
In fact, Li Bangyan is not the first person to give Zhao Huan this idea.

The first person who gave Zhao Huan this idea was Geng Nanzhong.

Before Zhao Ji left Bianliang City in Tokyo, Geng Nanzhong persuaded Zhao Huan to keep Zhao Fujin, saying that Zhao Fujin might be a talisman.

It was precisely because of this that Zhao Huan asked Zhu Lian to call Zhao Fujin to the palace, and then left Zhao Fujin behind.

Zhao Fujin may have also guessed Zhao Huan's plan.

Therefore, Zhao Fujin sent someone to tell Cai Wei that she would stay with the queen in the palace and not run away, and asked Cai Wei to take their two children to Shaanxi to find Zhao Ji.

Cai Wei is not stupid, how could he not guess what is going on?

in fact--

Since Li Cun named Zhao Fujin by name a few years ago, there was no one in the Zhao Song Dynasty who did not know that Li Cun was interested in Zhao Fujin.

Moreover, Zhao Huan was not the only one who came up with Zhao Fujin's idea. Zhao Ji also had the idea of ​​taking Zhao Fujin to negotiate a peace.

It's just that Li Cun paid more attention to real interests, and chose to give up Zhao Fujin.

But this does not mean that Li Cun is not interested in Zhao Fujin.

On the contrary, how could the emperor, especially a powerful emperor like Li Cun, not get the woman he misses?

Ever since Li Cun became more and more powerful, not only Zhao Fujin, but even Cai Wei thought that one day Li Cun might take away his beloved wife.

But what can I do if I know it?

If Cai Kuang was a powerful person, how could he become a son-in-law?
You know, anyone with even the slightest ambition in politics would never choose to be a son-in-law.

The point is, since the emperor changed from Zhao Ji to Zhao Huan, the Cai family, who was not valued by Zhao Huan, has obviously shown a decline. Such a Cai family can't help Cai Wei keep Zhao Fujin at all.

In this case, Cai Wei knew that Zhao Huan might dedicate his beloved wife to Li Cun, so what could he do?
Therefore, in the face of the possibility of his beloved wife being taken away, Cai Wei could only comfort himself by saying, "I must be scaring myself. Perhaps the queen really wanted to ask Di Ji to accompany me, but I was thinking too much." They took him and Zhao Fujin's two children to chase Zhao Ji with the Cai family.

Although Zhao Huan had prepared for this long ago, not getting married has always been the greatest pride of the Zhao Song Dynasty, so Zhao Huan still hesitated: "Is this really possible? Thief Li has already rejected Fifth Sister."

Seeing that Zhao Huan had no objection to dedicating Zhao Fujin to Li Cun, Li Bangyan immediately said: "Some things, if you talk about them standing up, Li Thief may not listen to them, but if you lie down and say them, Li Bangyan may listen to them. It may be easier for relatives to discuss terms of peace after accepting Maode Diji, who is the official sister-in-law."

Zhao Huan was moved by Li Bangyan.

The point is, this is the time, not to mention marrying a half-sister, even Zhao Huan marrying his daughter can solve the problem, Zhao Huan will not hesitate to dress up his daughter beautifully, and then send it to Li Cun .

But then again, although Zhao Huan was tempted, he still pretended to be hesitant.

Seeing this, Li Bangyan persuaded: "The battle under the city, the safety of the country, the country, the country, please the officials to decide quickly, so as not to miss the good opportunity."

Zhao Huan didn't dare and didn't want to take the risk to continue to resist the invasion of the Dagan Dynasty, he didn't even dare and didn't want to fight against the Dagan Dynasty anymore.

Now, Zhao Huan just wants to keep his own country and his own life.

So, Zhao Huan gritted his teeth, and then shouted to the outside: "Go and invite the queen here."
