Smelting and Exploding the Heavens

Chapter 238 Jing Kang Shame

After the war, the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wu Qimai, knelt in front of Fan Zhuoyuan's horse, under the horse's hooves, trembling all over.

This is the famous Jin Taizong in history, and now he is like a prisoner with no dignity at all.

He wanted to be tough, but after seeing Fan Zhuoyuan, the kingly aura on his body could no longer be summoned up. The man in front of him was not only majestic, but also had a strong power and domineering aura, which forced him to surrender and dared not show it. Not at all dissatisfied.

Fan Zhuoyuan took a look at Wanyan and Wu Qimai, and said calmly: "Ride on your own horse to keep up, we are going fast, if you fall behind, you will die."

"You...you won't hurt me..."

Xiao Zhonggong appeared on the side, riding on the horse and said with a smile: "Your Majesty, are you here all right?"

Wu Qimai turned his head to see Xiao Zhonggong, and said in astonishment: "Xiao Zhonggong?! It's you? You actually took refuge in Fan Zhuoyuan?!"

Xiao Zhonggong was excited and nervous, even the ends of his hair became disheveled, and he said in a wild tone: "General Fan and I were both from Liao in the past, but now, we have revenge for Daliao, hahahaha...

Your Majesty is a prisoner at this time, if you are honest and obedient, my army will definitely treat you with respect.In the future, there may be a chance to return to Liaodong and be your Jin emperor again. "

Wanyan Wu Qimai, who had lowered his head, suddenly raised his head, and many thoughts ran through his mind.

Now that he has been captured by Fan Zhuoyuan, when Wanyan Zongwang returns to Liaodong, who is most likely to be emperor next?

Theoretically, it should be Wu Qimai's son. His son is attacking Taiyuan with Wanyan Zonghan at this time, and his military qualifications are mixed.

However, Wu Qimai caused such a big loss, the minister Xungui probably won't support his lineage anymore.

Then it would be natural to let someone from the Taizu line be the emperor. Among them, Wanyan Zongwang, the very prestigious heir of the Taizu, was the most likely to succeed.

Fan Zhuoyuan did not kill himself, and said that he would have the opportunity to return to Liaodong to be emperor...

If it is by taking advantage of Xiao Jie's force, as long as Xiao Jie's army can take Yan Yun, it is really possible.

With Fan Zhuoyuan's great talent and strategy, it is impossible for him not to covet the Huahuajiangshan of the Song Dynasty after taking down Yanyun.

Then it is very necessary to stabilize the rear, and it may not be impossible to put yourself back to Liaodong, or simply use an army to support yourself to regain the throne.

After Wanyan Wu begged to buy the horse, he couldn't help asking in a low voice: "How will General Fan deal with our prisoners?"

Fan Zhuoyuan walked on horseback and said with a half-smile, "I won't kill them. Although I killed two or three thousand families of your golden soldiers and even noble families, I haven't left enough room for extermination of a certain family."

When Wu Qimai heard it, his mind became more active.

If this is the case, then he is really not in the Jedi.

After all, there are quite a few royalists who have been promoted by him in the court, such as Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan's mother, Han Chang, etc., especially those Khitans and Hans. Neither will be good!
As long as the relatives of these people survived, for their own benefit, as long as there was a chance, they would definitely support him. With the help of Fan Zhuoyuan, it is not impossible to return to Liaodong to win the throne in the future!

But...he didn't need to capture himself at all, it would be too much of a blow to his prestige, but it might not be able to suppress Wanyan Zongwang.

But how did Wu Qimai know that Fan Zhuoyuan intentionally waited for Wanyan Zongwang to ascend the throne before putting him back. Only when Wu Qimai's prestige was lowered would the division within the Kingdom of Jin be greater due to family and national interests.

Such a country with two emperors, it would be strange if there was no civil war!
His strategy was more radical and vicious than what Xiao Zhonggong proposed at the beginning. Xiao Zhonggong only provoked the political infighting in the Kingdom of Jin, while Fan Zhuoyuan wanted them to kill each other.

Fan Zhuoyuan led the army with abundant supplies, as well as the important officials and captives left behind by Emperor Jin and the Kingdom of Jin. In order to avoid Wanyan Zongwang, who might return to help at this time, he chose to take the relatively close line of Chifeng, instead of going through Daxing'anling, but changed to Pass through Yanshan Mountain and enter Yandi.

In this campaign, Xiao Jie's army had only [-] soldiers and more than [-] horses.

When they returned, there were more than ten thousand soldiers, more than thirty thousand war horses, and no pack horses. Tens of thousands of armed slaves of various ethnic groups followed in the rear, and their strength increased greatly.

It was also because he was dragging too many people and supplies that he marched slowly on the way back, but he was not in a hurry.

Because the Yingui faction has always had spies reporting the situation in the Central Plains, Fan Zhuoyuan has a very clear understanding of the current situation.

Turn back the time to when Fan Zhuoyuan just went to the grassland and met He Lubu...

At that time, Wanyan Zongwang was no longer willing to wait for Wanyan Zonghan's troops to attack Taiyuan, and then join forces in the Central Plains.

He left [-] soldiers and horses to guard important places such as Yanjing and Yuguan, and personally led [-] troops and generals to attack Bianliang south, wreaking havoc all the way.

When they came to the city of Bianliang, they stormed the fortified Bianliang with [-] cannons, but lost to the Bianliang defenders in the artillery battle.

After all, this kind of black technology was first used by the Zhao Song royal family to guard the capital since the first battle between Song and Jin. There were at least twenty gates on each city wall.

This is still a [-]-jin heavy artillery, and there are also a lot of [-]-jin and [-]-jin city defense guns, so the defense of the city is absolutely stable.

Therefore, under the distress of the Jin army, they could only surround but not attack, and looted all over the place.

Emperor Qinzong of Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan immediately sent out his will to the king, and he was anxious all day long in the palace, and every sound of cannon made it difficult for him to sleep peacefully.

However, if you continue to stick to it, it is not impossible to rely on the city defense of Bianliang to drag the Qin King's army from all over the place, and even cut off the Jin army's food road.

Especially after Zhao Huan came to power, the traitor Cai Jing was dismissed and investigated, Li Gang and other virtuous officials were reactivated, and the Western Army led by Yao Pingzhong was supported, so there was also the voice of the main battle between the court and China.

Zhao Huan was vacillating between the main battle and the main peace. Seeing that the situation was critical, he secretly came up with a strategy to paralyze and contain in the name of peace, and then ordered Yao Pingzhong to lead the Western Army to rob the camp at night and repel the Jin army.

He ordered Shao Zai Zhang Bangchang and Kang Wang Zhao Gou to go to the Jin army camp to seek peace.

At this time, the Jin army had given the conditions for the peace talks, that is, 5 million taels of gold, 5 million taels of silver, [-] cattle and horses, and one million thick satin, and ceded the three major military towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian.

This condition made Zhao Huan so heartbroken, so when he sent Zhang Bangchang and others to the peace talks, Zhang Bangchang asked Zhao Huan for an imperial decree to cede the land and Hebei Yinshou, but Zhao Huan refused, making it clear that he did not intend to let them come back alive.

Sure enough, during the peace talks, the Jin army relaxed its defenses, and Yao Pingzhong led tens of thousands of troops to attack the Jin army.

The result was a big defeat, almost the entire army was wiped out, and Yao Pingzhong himself was missing.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious and wanted to kill Zhang Bangchang on the spot. Zhang Bangchang knelt down and begged for mercy, weeping and insisting that the raid on the Golden Camp was not ordered by the imperial court, but he actually saved his life and was detained in the Golden Camp.

Kang Wang Zhaogou, who later became Wanyangou, also knelt down to beg for work from Wanyan Zongwang, and informed the internal situation of the Song Dynasty one by one. .

Then Wanyan Zongwang thought that Zhao Gou was a fake prince, and demanded that Zhao Huan's younger brother King Su be exchanged, thus he was able to escape with his life.

The Jin army, who was deceived by Zhao Huan and furious, immediately sent troops to attack Bianliang again, and once again mobilized more artillery to attack the south.

Although Bianliang has sharp weapons for defending the city, none of the generals can use them.

The Dianqian Secretary promised that every time a wave of Jin army attack was repelled, there would be a generous reward. At first, the soldiers fought desperately for the reward and repelled a wave of Jin army attack.

However, the Dianqian Secretary did not fulfill his promise, which caused the morale of the soldiers to be greatly damaged. When they were attacked by the Jin people again, they did not work hard.

The war lasted for several months, and Fan Zhuoyuan had already started to return from the grassland to the south, and Bianliang City had naturally persisted to the limit.

In desperation, Emperor Qinzong of the Song Dynasty, Zhao Huan, made frequent tricks and sent warlock Guo Jing to set up a magic circle of six Ding and Liujia, and sent [-] soldiers in the city who had drunk the talisman water to fight.

As a result, he was defeated by the Jin army, and finally took advantage of the situation to attack Bianliang, and the shame of Jingkang was staged again!
The city of Bianjing was looted, everything that could be robbed was taken away, and everything that could not be robbed was burned.

The royal family of the Song Dynasty basically fell into the hands of the Jin army, and the entire population of the city was either massacred or forced to move to Yandi.

Different from history, because Song Huizong hid in Yangzhou in advance, and the Jin army did not attack the city again, Song Huizong did not run back to Bianjing to fight for power with Song Qinzong. Ascension to the throne can be regarded as regaining the throne to some extent.

The unlucky one was Zhao Gou, the founder of the Southern Song Dynasty, who was captured along with Zhao Huan because the Jin army captured Bianjing in one attack.

Needless to say, the humiliation suffered by the royal family of Zhao and Song Dynasties and the families of many ministers along the way will not be better than the original history.

Among them, Baofu Emperor Ji, Renfu Emperor Ji, and Xianfu Emperor Ji were insulted to death by soldiers of the Jin Army at Liujia Temple in the north of Bianjing just as they were on their way.

Camping at night during the march, Wanyan Zongwang put his arms around Empress Roufu in one arm and Empress Maode in the other, watching the concubines of the Song Dynasty and Empress Concubine performing songs and dances with satisfaction, drinking happily with all the soldiers of the Jin army. Feel the pinnacle of life.

Many generals of the Jin army also put their arms around the daughters of the royal family or noble ministers' families, each showing off their power. If things go on like this, it may turn into a naked meeting.

Just at this time, a sergeant came to report that the envoy from Shangjing had an urgent military situation.

All the generals of the Kingdom of Jin present couldn't help frowning. Wanyan Zongwang was already a little tipsy, and was pouring alcohol on the Empress Maode beside him. He especially liked to see Empress Maode's flushed face when she was drunk.

Hearing this at this time, he was very unhappy.

"What is the urgent military situation? Your Majesty is stationed in Shangjing with [-] elite troops. Who else can capture Shangjing?"

The envoy was summoned, and immediately knelt down on the ground and burst into tears, "Marshal, Shangjing was captured by Fan Zhuoyuan of the Xiaojie army. All the families of the soldiers and soldiers were captured by him. The people in the city were slaughtered and tortured by him. Please return to the division as soon as possible." Rescue, it's too late...it's too late!!!"

These words are like a ladle of cold water in the winter, pouring down from the heads of many Jinjun generals present, cooling the heart and lungs.

The tent was so quiet that a needle could be heard falling, and all the clan members of the Zhao family did not dare to continue performing songs and dances, and knelt down on the ground one after another. The eyes of the female family members who exchanged with each other by chance were full of surprise...and a kind of pleasure of revenge .

Bang!
Wanyan Zongwang shattered the table in front of him with one palm, pointed at the messenger, and said angrily: "You talk nonsense, you disturb the morale of our army! You should be beheaded!"

The messenger burst into tears, "What the humble official said is absolutely true! There must be more urgent messengers coming from behind, and the marshal will know immediately."

Marshal Zuo Jianjun Wan Yanchang was the first to regain his composure, and quickly said: "Marshal, why don't you listen to the messenger and tell the story from the beginning, the most important thing now is to know the truth, if your family and my family really fall into the hands of Fan Zhuoyuan..."

There were many generals present who had dealt with Fan Zhuoyuan before, and they knew his strength very well, so they all had dignified expressions.

Wanyan Zongwang pushed away the two imperial concubines on the left and right, stared at the messenger and said, "You tell me the whole story of the future word by word! If there is a false word, you will definitely be punished!"

The messenger immediately explained in detail the matter of Fan Zhuoyuan's raid on the hinterland of the Kingdom of Jin. He told him all the information he knew for more than half an hour. The generals in the middle repeatedly asked for details, and they all answered exactly.

After the messenger finished speaking, Wanyan Zongwang said angrily: "As early as when Fan Zhuoyuan led the Xiaojie army to attack, why didn't you report back to us!"

The messenger said: "At that time, all ministries and slave riots in the grassland were about to be completely suppressed, and the Xiaojie army had less than [-] troops, many of whom were newly joined by slaves and tribesmen.

His Majesty decided to personally lead [-] soldiers to destroy them, but no one expected that Xiao Jie's army would use gunpowder to destroy the city. Instead, he took advantage of the loophole and destroyed Shangjing City, which was guarded by only [-] soldiers. "

Everyone suddenly understood, knowing that Wanyan Wu Qimai planned to take down Fan Zhuoyuan with his own hands, so as to establish his prestige as the emperor, but they didn't expect Fan Zhuoyuan to be so powerful, and instead drove him into a desperate situation.

Wanyan Zongwang looked gloomy on the surface, but there was a tinge of joy in his heart. The more mistakes the unlucky emperor made, the greater the chance that their Taizu lineage would regain the throne in the future.

He smiled coldly, "Since the Xiaojie army is relying on Gucheng and relying on hostages to confront His Majesty's [-] elite, do you know the current situation?"

The messenger shook his head, "It's just that the situation is very bad. The Xiaojie army has killed thousands of people and noble family members of our Wanyan tribe!"

All the generals present were worried for a while, most of their family members stayed in the capital, how could they not be burning with anxiety.

At the moment, some generals demanded to march as soon as possible, to temporarily leave the looted treasures and population in Yanjing, and then leave Yuguan and quickly rescue Beijing along the Liaoxi Corridor.

Wan Yanchang also said: "It's snowing in Liaodong at this time of year, and the weather will get colder and colder, and the ice and snow are more conducive to our operations.

If that dog thief surnamed Fan has not left, he will be able to block him to death in Liaodong this time. After capturing him, he will not stop until he is skinned and boned, and his bones are smashed into ashes! "

The military discussion was quickly finalized. With the current situation, it is naturally impossible to give up the many harvests from the Bianliang plunder, but it is also impossible to ignore the safety of the hometown.

Therefore, it was decided to send [-] soldiers and horses to return first after dawn, and notify the [-] defenders in Yanjing City to dispatch [-] troops to rescue Liaodong first.

Wanyan Zongwang led [-] soldiers from his headquarters and [-] defenders from Yanjing City, which was enough to consolidate Yandi, and the rest of the generals returned to Liaodong for rescue.

Jun Yi didn't avoid the women in the tent, but they couldn't understand them because they spoke Jurchen words.

However, from the dignified and serious expressions of the generals and even the occasional rage, it can be guessed that these golden men should have suffered a lot in the hinterland.
