Chapter ninety-seven worse(1/2)

The commander of the Xiangyang River was established in the Song Dynasty, and the Zhoushi in Xiangyang was commanded by Liao Changming. Liao Changming was Liao Han, and Liao Han was Liao Changming, who was the person who falsely accused Li Sanjian back then.

How could Liao Han not know the feud between him and the prime minister of the Song Dynasty Li Sanjian? Liao Han was afraid of Li Sanjian's revenge, so the Jin army was in a hurry and wanted to take advantage of the situation to surrender the Jin army. This would not only avoid Li Sanjian's anger and gain a bright future for himself. Liao Han and others believed that the Jin army was going south in large numbers and the Song Dynasty was destroyed again, so they surrendered to the Jin court as soon as possible, and wealth and glory must be at their fingertips. As for Liao Han's previous "tragic" remarks, they were just waiting for a price.

At this moment, Liao Han was pointed out by Liu Lin's words, and he couldn't help but lower his head and asked, "What should he do according to Liu Yanei's wishes?"

"Haha..." Liu Lin smiled proudly when he heard this, "What should I do? Don't Liao Taiwei know? Liao Taiwei, my marshal is eager to seek talent. If Liao Taiwei's entire army comes to join us, he will be appointed as a marquis, a high-ranking official will show his title, and will be rich and glorious, but it is close to you."

Liu Lin is not simple, he is the son of Liu Yu, the official surrendered by Jin Dynasty.

Liu Yu, whose courtesy name was Yanyou, was from Fucheng County, Yongjing Army. During the Yuanfu period, Liu Yu became the Jinshi. During the Song Dynasty, he served as the chief clerk of Hebei West Road. When the Jin soldiers advanced south, they abandoned their posts and fled. During the Jianwu period, they were the prefect of Jinan Prefecture. Seeing that the Jin army was moving south and the north was in chaos, they planned to continue to escape. However, the Jin army advanced quickly and fiercely. Before Liu Yu had time to escape, he was surrounded by the Jin army. Liu Yu was afraid, so he killed Dadao Guan Sheng and surrendered in Xiancheng.

Poor Dadao Guan Shengzhong, righteous and brave, did not die at the hands of the Jin people, but died at the hands of his own people.

After Liu Yu surrendered to the Jin Dynasty, he was appointed by the Jin court as the magistrate of Liu Yu, the East and West Beijing, Huainan and other roads, and was highly valued by the Jin court.























































On October 2nd year of the second year of Jianwu of the Song Dynasty, the east gate of Xiangyang City suddenly opened, and countless Jin soldiers held torches and rushed into the city with various weapons torches and fought with the Song army in the city.

At the same time, countless iron cavalry rushed out of the night. Amid the sound of thunderous iron hooves, the Jin army cavalry raised their sabers and shouted loudly and rushed into the Xiangyang city like a fortress.

The Xiangyang defenders understood the importance of Xiangyang. When they reached such a point, they still gritted their teeth and fought with the Jin army in the city, without giving up any inch of land, shouting, screaming, and screaming.

But the Jin army continued to pour into Xiangyang city, killing people while preventing fire. The more Jin army killed, the more they fought, the fewer and fewer the Song army, gradually lost their support and began to retreat.

A thousand-mile dike was destroyed in the ant hole, or the foreign enemies were not scary, but the traitors were scary. The general of the Song Zhou army, Liao Han, finally brought the Xiangyang Zhou army to surrender to Jin. If this is the case, Liao Han and others who sold their country and seek honor even made a profit and gained the Xiangyang city gate and led the Jin army into the Xiangyang city. The Jin army would not have any effort to capture the Xiangyang city like a wall.

"Mr. Xu, go quickly, go quickly, follow someone out of the siege!"

When Xiangyang City was broken, Xu Han personally led his troops to fight with the Jin army, but the matter was already here, what use was a scholar? So Lu Shinang, who was covered in his body, shouted loudly.

"Xu was defeated by the court and the prime minister, and he was just dead today

!” Xu Han turned a deaf ear and still led his troops to fight with the Jin army like a madman.

"Hey, what's the use of your death?" After Lu Shinang slapped a sword to kill a Jin army, he shouted to Xu Han: "Xiangyang is not guaranteed. We retreat to Nanzhang, Yicheng and other places, rectify the troops and fight again, drag the enemy army, and wait for reinforcements in the court, so we can atone for the sins!"

Losing the Xiangyang Zhoushi, the Xiangyang city gate was made open by Liao Han and others. Even if they fought all their troops, they would not be able to defend the Xiangyang city. Therefore, it would be better to withdraw from Xiangyang City, preserve their military strength, and recruit troops from other places to continue fighting with the Jin army. When the reinforcements of the court arrive, the war will definitely turn around.

So Lu Shinang ordered people to mount Xu Han without saying a word, led 5,000 elite Black Flag Army soldiers to break out of Xiangyang from the South Gate, and fought in Nanzhang, Yicheng, Yingzhou and other places, and continued fierce battles with the Jin army, dragging down the Jin army's pace to continue to go south. The Jin army's Wanyan Xie was in less troops, and the Song army surrendered, only 100,000 troops, so he simply defended Xiangyang to the death and divided his troops to attack Song Jiankang Prefecture and other places from the west.

Xu Han struggled desperately, but couldn't break free, so he could only cry and leave.

"We swear to never surrender to the Jin thief!"

Xu Han, Lu Shinang and others broke out of Xiangyang, but there were still many officials, soldiers and civilians in Xiangyang City, who were still fighting against the Jin army that rushed into the city, and they would rather die than surrender, but the situation of the Song army was gone and Xiangyang was irreversible.

A raging fire was also lit in the government offices in Xiangyang City. Countless officials who would rather die than surrender to the Jin Dynasty led their families to join in the raging fire or jump into the deep well.

The rivers in Xiangyang City were almost filled with dead bodies.

Some people would rather die than surrender, while others would kneel down and beg for surrender in fear, just to survive.

A raging fire also ignited on the Han River around the city of Xiangyang, and many remaining warships of the Song army's boats were set on fire by Liao Han's troops.

As soon as Xiangyang was lost, the situation in Jingxiang changed dramatically. An indestructible fortress fell into the hands of the Jin army like a joke. Once the defense in the middle section of the Yangtze River was opened by the Jin army, the consequences would be unimaginable.

After the Jin army occupied the land of Jingxiang, they could advance along the river and attack Jiankang Prefecture directly. When they retreated, they could defend Jingxiang and block all parts of the Song army, mainly western reinforcements and their food and salary support.

The Song army's Yangtze River defense line was therefore opened. The meaning of opening the door was that from then on, the Song army would be unable to defend, there would be loopholes everywhere, and would give the Jin army an opportunity to take advantage of.

When Xiangyang was lost, the world was shocked. The soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty were panicked all day long, which seriously damaged the confidence of the soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty to resist the Jin Dynasty. Li Sanjian, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty who presided over the government, was also criticized for this. They all rumored and slandered and abusive words flew towards Li Sanjian. Li Sanjian's position was in danger, and the Song Dynasty was also in danger.

After hearing the news, the Jin court, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbing, Wanyan Xie and others were of course overjoyed, as if a gold brick fell from the sky and hit Dajin. How could they not be overjoyed? The Jin army was worried about how to deal with the Song army's boat troops, but God actually sent a boat troops to the Jin army. The rebel general Liao Han and others were also highly rewarded by the Jin court. Liao Han was appointed as "Duke Xiangyang" and other official titles by the Jin court, and were awarded countless gold, silver, money, silk, cattle and sheep.

The Jin army is powerful

Zhen, shortly afterwards, the three armies of the Jin army forced them to Jiankang Prefecture, Zhenjiang and other places. As long as they captured Jiankang Prefecture, captured or killed Empress Dowager Meng, Emperor Zhao Chen of Song, Prime Minister Li Sanjian and others, the Song Dynasty will collapse. Who else dares to compete with the Great Jin? The Great Jin will also unify the world. At present, this possibility is already very great.

Wanyan Zonghan and Gao Qingyi were even considering the plan to destroy the Song Dynasty. Should they compete with the Jin court in the south, or would they lead the army back to Huining Mansion to compete for the throne?
