Chapter 20 Misfortunes Never Come Alone(1/2)

"Capture the king alive and reward Meng'an!"

"The king's life is captured, and the reward is 1,000 taels, 5,000 taels of silver, 500 cattle, and 300 horses..."

"The Marshal of the Capital has an order, so be sure to capture it alive. Those who violate the order will be killed!"

“............”

In the first year of Jingkang of the Song Dynasty, in September of the fourth year of the Jin Tianhui, Taiyuan City, which had been defending for more than 250 days, was finally captured by the Jin army's Wanyan Zonghan's troops. However, rather than being captured by the Jin army, Taiyuan City was more like being eliminated because Taiyuan had no food and assistance, the soldiers and civilians died of battle, starved to death, and many people died of illness, thus defeating themselves without attack.

The Taiyuan garrison, deputy commander of the cavalry army of the Song Dynasty, deputy general manager of the cavalry army of Hedong Road, and governor of the Jianwu Army, Wang Bing, was still unyielding after the city was broken, leading the remaining soldiers and civilians in the city to fight with the Jin army that rushed into the city, fighting the streets with the Jin army, fighting to the death, fighting bloody and hard.

At dawn, Wang Bing's command was almost dead and injured, with only dozens of wounded subordinates left by his side, and were surrounded by the Jin army at the southern gate of Taiyuan, on the edge of the Fen River outside the Kaiyuan Gate.

Wang Bing still carries a portrait of his seriously injured son Wang Xun and Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi.

At this time, the Jin army stopped shooting arrows, but simply surrounded Wang Bing and others on a slope on the bank of the Fen River.

After receiving the news, Wanyan Zonghan, the commander of the Jin army, rushed over.

Wanyan Zonghan was very interested in Wang Bing, who dared to resist the Great Jin Heavenly Soldiers and held the Taiyuan city for more than 220 days. He was curious to know what kind of person Wang Bing was? Could it be that he had three heads and six arms?

"General Manager Wang, the city has been broken, and the situation is over. Please surrender quickly. My Grand Marshal said that as long as you are willing to surrender, you will definitely have a heavy reward, and you will be granted official titles and gained wealth and honor!" The common news in the Jin army saw that Wang Bing and others were almost unable to move, so they shouted to surrender.

"I am incompetent, I'm dragging you down." Wang Bing ignored the Jin army's affairs and stood on the ground with a blood-stained sword, panting violently. He looked at the dozens of subordinates in ragged clothes and covered in blood, and said apologetically.

"General Manager Wang, the young people are willing to follow General Manager Wang to kill the enemy and serve the country. What is a burden?" Wang Bing's personal soldiers were blind and stood up from the ground desperately, leaning on a spear, looking for Wang Bing's voice.

"Qin Wu..." Wang Bing said with a sob.

"What the commander of Qin said is that we are willing to follow General Wang, and we will die today." A personal soldier broke his arms and held Qin Wu with one hand and said.

"I just want to kill the enemy to serve the country to death!" Everyone shouted loudly when they heard this.

Everyone shouted in unison, which scared the Jin army's affairs and took a few steps back in a hurry.

The army had already captured the Taiyuan city. Seeing that Wanyan Zonghan was about to reward the entire army, it was not unfair to be killed by these madmen at this moment? The Jin army secretly said in their hearts.

"Mr. Wang, the young one... is just hungry, there is no food?" A short, seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy said to Wang Bing hesitantly.

Wang Bing felt even more sad when he heard this. He touched the boy's head and was sobbing that he couldn't speak.

Even the death row prisoner had a meal of silence before his death, but the food in Taiyuan City had already been cut off. Where could Wang Bing find food? There was no grain left.

"There are in the army, as long as

You are willing to surrender and eat everything, and you can make big fish and meat!" The Jin army was very sensitive to hearing and said loudly after hearing this.

"Jin thief!" Wang Bing was furious when he heard this, turned around and pointed at the Jin army's general affairs with a broken sword and shouted: "Go back and tell the barbarian thief Nianhan that we are a minister of the Song Dynasty and a ghost of the Song Dynasty when we die. How can we surrender you Jin thief? If he dares to slaughter the soldiers and civilians in my city, he will become a ghost after his death, and he will also take his life!"

After Wang Bing said that, he walked up the earth slope with great strides, carrying the portrait of Wang Xun and Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty.

"Dad, I saw that Wang Er had already broken out of the encirclement and headed south." Just as Wang Bing was about to jump into the river, Wang Xun, who had been silent due to serious injuries, suddenly spoke weakly.

"Haha, I have no regrets, I have no regrets!" Wang Bing was stunned at first when he heard this, and then laughed. Amid the laughter, Wang Bing carried the portrait of Wang Xun and Emperor Taizong of Song Zhao Guangyi and jumped into the Fen River.

Wang Bing, a loyal and wise minister of the Song Dynasty, would rather die than surrender after the breaking of Taiyuan City. He carried the portraits of his king Xun and Zhao Guangyi and jumped into the Fen River and sacrificed his life to the country.

"Go!"

A high Qin Opera sounded, and dozens of Wang Bing's subordinates followed Wang Bing, and Wang Xun jumped into the Fen River, or committed suicide by slashing his neck. None of them surrendered to the Jin army, nor did they survive.

The scene was extremely heroic, which made the Jin army stunned. After a long time, no one dared to step forward.

















































"This is unreasonable, it's so angry that I'm so angry!" When Wanyan Zonghan arrived, Wang Bing and others had already died heroically, so they made Wanyan Zonghan angry so that one Buddha was born and two Buddhas were born in heaven.

Since the Jin army invaded the south, Wang Bing and others have been defending the Taiyuan city for how long they have been dragged to Taiyuan for how long. During the more than 250 days, the Jin army suffered losses and generals, but also seriously delayed the robbery of Wanyan Zonghan's troops from the south.

Wanyan Zongwang drove his troops straight to the city of Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, and then signed a city alliance with the Song court, and then returned with a full load. Wanyan Zongwang made the first contribution to the attack on Song Dynasty, but Wanyan Zonghan had always led his troops to fight hard with the Song army near the three towns including Taiyuan.

In this way, how could Wanyan Zonghan not be depressed? How could he not be angry?

All of this was done by Wang Bing and others. Therefore, at this moment, the Jin army captured Taiyuan City, and Wanyan Zonghan planned to capture Wang Bing and others, especially Wang Bing, who planned to humiliate him well, but Wang Bing did not expect that Wang Bing would commit suicide by jumping into the river.





Wanyan Zonghan was angry and had nowhere to go. In anger, he ordered people to pick up Wang Bing's body.

Wanyan Zonghan pointed at Wang Bing's body and cursed, whipped the body, and ordered people to trample on horseback, trampling Wang Bing's body into meat paste.

The cruelty of the Jin people can be seen.

"Master Wang!" Zhang Xiaochun, the captive and captured Taiyuan Prefecture, covered his face and cried when he saw this.

Wanyan Zonghan then ordered people to bring dozens of captured Taiyuan officials over and persuade Zhang Xiaochun to surrender in front of Zhang Xiaochun. If the surrender is alive, those who do not surrender die. However, none of the dozens of officials surrendered, so they were all slaughtered by Wanyan Zonghan. But for some reason, it was probably because Wanyan Zonghan was slaughtered by Zhang Xiaochun and he let Zhang Xiaochun go.

In the first year of Jingkang of Song Dynasty, in September of the fourth year of the Jin Tianhui, Taiyuan fell, and dozens of officials including Wang Bing, Huang Huan died unyieldingly. Jin Commander Wanyan Zonghan ordered the massacre of the city, almost killing the surviving military and civilians in Taiyuan City.

As soon as it was gone, the Jin army plundered Taiyuan and set fire to the Taiyuan city, destroyed the Taiyuan city walls, and razed Taiyuan to the ground.

Half a year later, someone occasionally passed by here and could still smell the burnt smell in the air.

After the Jin army's troops captured Taiyuan by Wanyan Zonghan, the Jin army Wanyan Zongwang also captured Zhending Prefecture, an important town in Hebei.

When Zhending City was broken, the commander of the Song Dynasty's garrison Liu Yi led his troops to fight in the streets and died in a desperate battle. After the prefect Li Miao was captured, he was unyielding and killed.

The two major armies of the Jin army then captured the Pingding Army and discussed the re-invasion of the Kaifeng Prefecture, Tokyo, here.

Wanyan Zongwang, Wushi and others meant to completely occupy the two rivers first, then headed their troops south to capture the Kaifeng Prefecture of the Song Dynasty, and destroyed the Song Dynasty. However, Wanyan Zonghan insisted on joining forces directly, and the soldiers were very fast. He led his troops to take Kaifeng Prefecture directly. As long as he captured Kaifeng Prefecture, not only the two rivers, but also the other lines, prefectures, states, and lords of the Song Dynasty could make an edict.

So Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang led a large army to move south, and along the way, they were as powerful as the Song army defenders surrendered or fled, but failed to form an army.

The cities of Taiyuan, Zhending and other cities fell one after another, and the Song Dynasty was in an uproar and shocked. The Kaifeng Prefecture in the capital was frightened several times overnight and was in panic all day long. The Song Dynasty court was also panicked, and the entire court was in chaos. Some people talked about war, some people fled, some people cede land, receive coins, seek peace, and some people suppose to minister.

Although the veteran general Zong Shidao was seriously ill, he was still worried about national affairs. While calling on the emperor of the Song Dynasty to serve the kings, he also asked Emperor Zhao Huan of Song to avoid disaster in Chang'an.

But Zhao Huan was hesitant and could not get any idea. Finally, with the insistence of Tang Ke, Geng Nanzhong and others, he still planned to seek peace, and ordered Wang Yun to follow King Kang Zhao Gou to seek peace, and Xu officially ceded the three towns including Taiyuan.

"Your Majesty, the old husband is seriously ill, and he will be dead... it will be soon!" On this day, an eunuch ran into the palace in panic and reported to Zhao Huan.

"What?" Zhao Huan was shocked when he heard this, and stood up in panic, knocking over a bowl of fragrant tea in front of him, but he was completely unaware of it.

At this moment, Zhao Huan was really panicked, and he was so panicked that he was in a state of lordship.

The strong enemy went south and the capital was in danger. The country and the country of Song Dynasty were in danger. However, there were very few good generals left in the country. Those who died and those who were demoted were demoted. If Zhong Shidao died of illness at this time, who could be in charge of the capital and command the enemy?

At this time, Li Gang had been charged with "specializing war discussions and losing his teacher and money", and he was first charged with resettlement of Jianchang Army and then exiled to Kuizhou.
