Chapter ninety-ninth
"Who is the guard?"
As the sun sets, the commander of the Jin army's Eastern Route Army and the left supervisor Wanyan Zongbi rode on the horse and looked at the towering Chuzhou city still in the hands of the Song army. He asked depressedly.
"This person's surname is Yue and his name is Fei, and his courtesy name is Pengju." He replied left and right.
"Yue Fei? Who is it?" Wanyan Zongbi asked again.
"In the past, he was just an unknown young man. For some reason, the Prime Minister of the Southern Dynasty Li Sanjian promoted him to the defense envoy of Chuzhou and the commander of the army." The left and right answered again.
The Song army had detailed works, and of course the Jin army also had them. Although both sides are very wary of the detailed works at present, they can still find out who is the main general, who is promoted in an extraordinary way, etc.
"The little master? He was promoted to the commander of the army and the commander of the Chuzhou defense?" Wanyan Zongbi asked in surprise when he heard this.
There were also exceptions in the Jin army, but after making great contributions, the promotion speed was as fast as Yue Fei? It was soaring up to three thousand miles.
.
.
A small soldier of the Jin army made great contributions in a short period of time and was promoted to the banner head, Mou Ke, Meng'an and others, and at least he could not serve as the commander of the army or the commander of a city. The reason was that no one in the Jin court dared to be this dangerous situation, so that a small soldier would shoulder the heavy responsibility of a city and an army.
But Li Sanjian of the Southern Dynasty had such a mind and courage that he actually promoted an unknown young soldier to the commander of a city? Such a person in the Southern Dynasty was definitely not a good thing for the Dajin. Wanyan Zongbi suddenly had the idea that the Southern Dynasty should not be violated and the Southern people should not be humiliated.
The most important thing is that the young man promoted by Li Sanjian led his army to fight with Wanyan Zongbi's army for more than a month. He fought against the strong with the weak and the weak with the large number of people. Not only did he not lose any disadvantage, but he also caused Wanyan Zongbi to lose his troops and generals to suffer heavy losses.
Today, Wanyan Zongbing made up his mind to capture the city of Chuzhou, but the Jin army pressed forward and attacked with all his strength, fire escapes, cloud ladders, hitting rods, poles, side bridges, goose cars, caves, tower cars, opposite buildings, tunnels, irrigation, and other all kinds of siege methods that can be used, but they were still cracked by Yue Fei and his subordinates, and Chuzhou soldiers and civilians under him, and Chuzhou was still firmly in the hands of the Song army.
The Jin army began to attack the city of Chuzhou after dawn. The two sides fought fiercely until the sunset, and there were countless corpses around the city, which was extremely tragic. In some places where the battles in the city were fierce, the corpses were piled up almost equal to the city, including the Jin army and the Song army. Of course, the losses of the siege side were always far higher than those of the defender side, so the corpses were mostly Jin army.
In the end, the Jin army could even climb the city on corpses and compete for the city of Chuzhou, but they were still repelled by Yue Fei and the military and civilians of Chuzhou, and the city of Chuzhou still stood up.
At this time, most of the Jin army had shrunk and dared not approach the city of Chuzhou again, and there were only sporadic fights at some point.
When the Jin army attacked the city of Chuzhou, the Wushe Army, led by Hua Rong, who was stationed in Xinghua and other places, kept attacking and harassing the Jin army's backs, causing the Jin army to be in a difficult position and extremely embarrassed.
If you can't fight again, you can't fight again. If you continue to fight, the Jin soldiers might have to flee or even mutiny. The Jin soldiers flee. The result of the mutiny is that the Jin army will inevitably be defeated, Wanyan Zongbi said in his heart.
Wanyan Zongbi looked at the tall city of Chuzhou. After a long time, he sighed secretly and ordered: "Ming Jin to withdraw his troops."
After Wanyan Zongbi said that, he rode his horse away, and the sun sets in the west.
Afterglow dragged Wanyan Zongbi's back long and looked extremely lonely.
At the end of October and early November of the second year of Jianwu in the Song Dynasty, the Jin army was unable to attack Chuzhou for a long time and was unable to defeat it, and the generals were also lost. In desperation, they had to take the initiative to deal with the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan and Hejian, divided their troops, and led the troops to besiege Chuzhou and other places. Wanyan Zongbi personally led the troops south to attack Yangzhou, Gaoyou and other places. Later, he planned to join forces with the troops of Wanyan Zonghan, the troops of the Jin middle army, captured and killed the Empress Dowager Meng, the Song Emperor Zhao Chen, the Prime Minister Li Sanjian and others, and destroyed the Song Dynasty.

On the first day of the third year of Jianwu in the Song Dynasty, the Emperor of Song Dynasty temporarily arrived at Jiankang Prefecture on Jiangnan East Road
The first day of the first month is called New Year's Day, which is common in the New Year. The first year's schedule is the first.
The New Year is the grandest festival in Song Dynasty. On this festive day, the people of Song Dynasty must eliminate disasters and avoid evil, pray for blessings and good fortune, and celebrate the New Year. However, in the New Year of Jianwu for the third year, Jiankang Mansion was replaced by a little festive atmosphere, which was panic, fear, panic, etc.
The Jin soldiers were approaching the border, and the news that they were about to reach Jiankang Mansion was like a huge rock pressing on the hearts of every Jiankang Mansion, pressing on the hearts of every Song man, making everyone breathless and anxious, everyone was in danger and panic all day long. There were already fleeing people in Jiankang Mansion.
At the same time, the atmosphere of Jiankang Prefecture's battle is getting stronger and stronger, like a dark cloud covering the roof. Every day, countless soldiers and horses may pass by the city or enter the city.
The storm is about to come and the wind fills the building, and the dark clouds are pressing against the city and destroying the city!
"Yangzhou, Gaoyou has fallen into the hands of the barbarians, and the troops will come to the city soon."
"Really?"
"Then can there be fake?"
"Ah? It's over, it's over, my god! The situation is over now!"
"It's nonsense that the barbarians attacked Yangzhou, and Gaoyou is true, but Yangzhou, Gaoyou is still in the hands of our dynasty, just like Chuzhou. Yue Fei and Hua Rong led their troops to fight and defeated the barbarians."
"What's the use of this? Xiangyang is lost, and the Jin army is advancing eastward. I think Jiankang is also hard to protect."
"Oh, I'll leave after waiting."
"What are you panic? Where can you go? The Queen Mother, Your Majesty, the Prime Minister and others have not left yet. The Prime Minister is deploying troops and will definitely be able to repel the captives!"
"Bah, you still talk about him now? He speaks better than singing... Didn't he escape from Yingtian Mansion to Jiangnan? He lost his troops and land at this time, are you still waiting for them? The daylily is cold. I can guarantee that it won't be long before they will ignore us and leave the city and run away!"
"Yes, yes, when will you stay if you don't leave now? It's too late, and the barbarians are cruel and cruel."
“............”
At this moment, the scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all the religions, peddlers and barracks in Jiankang Prefecture were all talking about the war in the Song and Jin Dynasties.
Over the past few days, the Jin army has won one after another, and the Song army has lost its troops and lost its territory. The battle situation is extremely unfavorable. Therefore, everyone is extremely worried and anxious, and they have extremely distrust of the Song court and the Song prime minister Li Sanjian.
"Go away!" An imperial official rode on his horse. After hearing the discussions of the crowd, he rode his horse and several followers to Song Xinggong.
This official actually had a horse riding, which made passers-by look at him.
Over the past few days, almost all war horses have been recruited by the court.
After purging, not only scholars, farmers, industry and commerce, all religions, peddlers and pawns had no horses to use, but even the officials of the court had almost no horses to ride and could only ride sedan chairs or walk.
The official was over 40 years old, with dust and dusty faces, and came from afar to Jiankang Mansion to meet the saint. When facing the saint, he had to pay first a visit to the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Sanjian, which is well known. Therefore, the official asked about the way and rushed to the Taichu Palace Political Affairs Hall.
"The minister is discussing affairs, please ask Ambassador Wang to come later." The official rushed to the Prime Minister's Political Affairs Hall of the Song Dynasty. After verifying his identity, a young official said to him.
So the officials had to wait outside the Political Affairs Hall.
The official's surname was Wang and his name was Zhengdao, and his courtesy name was Zhengdao. He was descended from the three Huai Wang family of famous families in the Song Dynasty.
Although Wang Lun was a descendant of a famous family, he was unruly when he was young, and liked to be a hero and a hero. He was floating in the city and had ambitions. He was idle all day long, doing nothing, being arrogant and pretentious. He was over forty years old, but he accomplished nothing.
Wang Lun's turnaround came during the Jingkang period. Kaifeng Prefecture was lost. Emperor Zhao Huan of Song Dynasty was in Xuande Gate. Everyone was noisy and noisy. Wang Lun took the opportunity to ask for orders to suppress it. Zhao Huan was of course very happy. He was given the treasure sword of Xia Kingdom for gifts. Wang Lun took the opportunity to recommend himself. Zhao Huan then abolished Wang Lun as the Minister of War.
After Wang Lun suppressed the military and civilians of Kaifeng Prefecture, he was abandoned by Prime Minister He Li on the grounds of being useless and other reasons.
In the second year of Jingkang, Wang Lun defected to King Kang Zhao Gou, and Zhao Gou ordered him to be the envoy of the Great Jin Tongwen, and went to Jin to seek peace. Wang Lun was then detained in the Jin land and did not return to the Song land until the third year of Jianwu.
"Mr. Is the family member of the Li Xiangguo?" Wang Lun asked a little flatteringly when he heard this, and said to the young official: "Sure enough, I am very arrogant, but I don't know the name of the man?"
The most outstanding powerful figures of the Sanhuai Wang family were the elders of the three dynasties of Taizu, Taizong and Zhenzong dynasties, and the prime minister Wang Dan, who was called "Quande Elder". After his death, he was awarded the title of Taishi, Shangshu Ling and Zhongshu Ling, Duke of Wei, and his posthumous title was "Wenzheng".
After Wang Dan, the Sanhuai Wang family had no more powerful figures, and their family was gradually declining. Wang Lun also hoped to be able to revitalize his family business and glorify his ancestors through himself.
When Wang Lun was envoyed to Jin, the lord of the Song Dynasty was basically King Kang Zhao Gou. However, after finally returning to the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty changed its course. The crown prince Zhao Chen ascended the throne and ascended the throne. Li Sanjian used the emperor to command the princes and became the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, but in fact the lord of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, Wang Lun was flattering to Li Sanjian's disciples.
"Amusement Wang praised him, and he was not allowed to be noble. He was named Ding Weiyuan." Ding Weiyuan replied after hearing this.
Then Wang Lun waited quietly outside the Political Affairs Hall, waiting for the Prime Minister to finish the discussion.
After a long time, there was finally some movement in the Political Affairs Hall. Two tiger generals with a tiger back and a bear-back walked out of the Political Affairs Hall with great strides, looked at Wang Lun, and then turned over and left.
Then, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, Li Sanjian and the left minister of the Shangshu Li Gang walked out of the Political Affairs Hall, with Li Gang in front and Li Sanjian in back. There seemed to be a fierce dispute between the two, both of whom were blushing and looking angry.
"Weak, why are we weak? We are almost at the door of our house. Are you still weak?" Li Gang shouted at Li Sanjian angrily.
"Why are you yelling? Be careful of the walls. Have you gotten angry again?" Li Sanjian glared at Li Gang and said, "What's the use of anxiety? Go back and wash it with cold water, but after washing, you can do whatever you should do. If you miss a big deal, I can't spare you."
