Goldfinger of the Heavens

Chapter 135
In August, Jin Taizong Wanyansheng sent two generals Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan (ie Nianhan) to attack the Song Dynasty on the grounds that Zhang Jue, the Liao general Zhang Jue was taken in by the Song Dynasty, violated the treaty between the two countries.

"Young master, as you said, the Jin army has really made a move." Wang Hu said, with both admiration for Huang Chong and worry about the future of Da Song on his face.

"En." Huang Chong just nodded without saying a word. He thought that Jin Bing would wait until next year, but he didn't expect to be so anxious.

"My lord, do you think we can win this time?" Wang Bao asked.

Huang Chong shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Huang Chong can't remember the specific details of Jin's extermination of Song Dynasty for a long time, but it should not be this year's extermination of Song Dynasty, because Zhao Ji is still sitting on the dragon chair. He gave his son Zhao Huan, who was Song Qinzong, the reign name "Jingkang". The Northern Song Dynasty died in the second year of Jingkang.

"Where is Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army now?" Huang Chong asked.

"Wanyan Zonghan's West Route Army set out from the cloud and went all the way south. They were blocked outside Taiyuan City and have not made any progress so far," Wang Bao said.

"Taiyuan is an important military town, not only guarded by Tong Xuanfu, but also by the Zhong family army and the Zhe family army. If the Jin soldiers want to capture Taiyuan, it will not be possible within a few years." Wang Hu said.

Tong Xuanfu is Tong Guan, and both the Zhongjia Army and the Zhejia Army belong to the Western Army. They are currently the strongest and the only army in the Song Dynasty. The people of the Song Dynasty have great confidence in these two armies.

It's a pity that the fate of these two armies was not good. The Zhejia army later surrendered gold, the commander was killed, and the army dispersed; while the Zhongjia army fell apart because of the incompetence and fear of the rulers of the Song Dynasty, and finally disappeared. In the long river of history.

However, now Huang Chong still agrees with what Wang Hu said, with the existence of Tong Guan and these two armies, it is not easy for the Jin soldiers to break through Taiyuan in a short time.

Of course, there may be accidents, and no one knows if the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty will do anything disgusting.

"Continue to pay close attention, I want to know the latest movements of the Jin Army, including Wanyan Zongwang's East Route Army." Huang Chong said.

"Yes!" Because Huang Chong agreed to cooperate with Tong Guan, part of Tong Guan's resources were shared with Huang Chong, including part of the intelligence network. Although it cannot be said to be the latest information, it is also faster than before. a lot of.

Huang Chong didn't know when the Jin army would capture Kaifeng, but Huang Chong knew that the leader of Bianjing at that time was a guy named Guo Jing. The emperor really believed it, made the city gate wide open, and then there was nothing else.

For the next time, Huang Chong still concentrated on staying in the compound to practice martial arts and improve his strength.

Huang Chong was calm, the court was already in chaos.

Do you think it is common for the war faction to argue with the peace faction?
No, you are wrong, it is not a debate between the main combat faction and the main peace faction, because from the very beginning, the main combat faction has no place to stand, except for a very small number of ministers, all the rest are the main peace faction, Including the emperor.

The main content of the debate in the court was how much would it cost to get Da Jin to retreat this time, who else would be more suitable to be sent as an envoy, and when would be the best time to do so.

Yes, no one from the emperor to the ministers wanted to fight, or they didn't dare to fight at all.

However, because the progress of the two routes of Jin Bing was not fast in the early days, this matter has been dragged on, and even the main combat faction has begun to have a market. It seems that Jin Bing is not that powerful.

But as time entered December, the situation on the East Road took a turn for the worse. Wanyan Zongwang defeated the main force of the Song army in the Baihe area, and the guard Guo Yaoshi surrendered. The entire defense line of Yanshan Mansion collapsed completely. In a month's time, Zhongshan and Zhending were captured.

At this time, the Song Dynasty reached an internal agreement, and sent minister Yu Wenxuzhong to the Jinbing camp to negotiate with Wanyan Zongwang, and at the same time sent Li Gang to build the Yellow River defense line.

But these things have nothing to do with Huang Chong, because at the beginning of December, Huang Chong received a letter from Tong Guan, asking Huang Chong to go north.

After thinking about it, Huang Chong decided to go north alone. Wang Hu and Wang Bao were left in Bianjing by Huang Chong to protect Li Shishi's safety.

On the third day after Huang Chong left Bianjing, there was another change in the court. Emperor Zhao Ji was worried that the Jin soldiers would go south, so despite the dissuasion of the ministers, he insisted on abdicating the throne to Prince Zhao Huan, and became the Supreme Emperor himself. To Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan ascended the throne amidst the crying.

Taiyuan House.

"What did you say, the crown prince ascended the throne." Tong Guan was shocked when he heard what his subordinates said.

"Yes, yesterday, the officials abdicated the throne to the Crown Prince, claiming to be the Supreme Emperor, and it is said that they are planning to go south to take refuge." A man with a literati appearance beside Tong Guan said, this person is Tong Guanjun, originally a Daoist, and his Taoist name is Xiaoyao son.

"Well, damn it, how did this happen. Military division, what do you think we should do?"

"It depends on how the county king chooses. If he wants to protect the country, he should stay in Taiyuan and resist the Jin soldiers; if he wants to keep his power, then..." Xiaoyaozi said that he didn't continue, and his meaning was obvious.

"The officials misunderstood me!" Tong Guan suddenly let out a long sigh.

Zhao Jichan's abdication of the throne not only disrupted Tong Guan's previous deployment, but also put him on the cusp. From ancient times to the present, when a new emperor ascends the throne, he must deal with some old forces, and Tong Guan is the biggest old force in the court , he is not in Bianjing now, once the new emperor wants to attack him, he doesn't even have the ability to fight back.

Once the power is gone, even if Taiyuan is defended, what can it do?

"The king of the county should make plans early." Xiaoyaozi said from the side.

Tong Guan didn't hesitate any longer when he heard the words, he got up and said, "You go down immediately to make arrangements. This king will leave the city tonight. Remember, this matter is top-secret. You will stay in Taiyuan instead of this king and be responsible for the defense."

"Yes."

That night, a small gap was opened in the gate of Taiyuan City. Tong Guan quietly left Taiyuan City with eight of his subordinates. After the gate was closed, everything seemed to have never happened. Nine horses went straight to Bianjing.

"Not good!" Tong Guan who was galloping on the official road suddenly shouted, jumped up and left the horse, just as Tong Guan left, the horse fell to the ground and let out bursts of wailing.

Tong Guan's subordinates were not as lucky as him, and they were thrown off the horse one after another. However, these eight people were indeed Tong Guan's capable subordinates. After being thrown out, they separated from the horses in the air and landed beside Tong Guan , Protecting Tong Guan in the middle, with the waist knife out of its sheath.

Horse pits and stumbling ropes are what cause horses to fall.

At this time, a large group of people rushed out from both sides of the official road and surrounded Tong Guan's nine people.

"Master Tong, this general has been waiting here for a long time."
