When the Jin army headed south, the first stop was Taiyuan City, which the Jin army had never been able to break through.

Zhang Xiaochun and Wang Bing, who were standing in Taiyuan City, did not know that the Jin army had launched a large-scale attack, nor did they know that the Song army that rescued Taiyuan had failed one after another.

Before the Jin army launched the general attack, Zhang Xiaochun sent people down the city and submitted his last letter of help to the Song court:

"Taiyuan has been surrounded for more than eight months. Eighty-nine out of ten people in the city have died. The guards have been stolen from food, and the soldiers who have been fed with armor have been used for more than twenty days. The soldiers are tired and sick, and the thieves know that the attack is very strong, and the reinforcements are missing. The city is in danger. I feel deeply responsible and uneasy. Although I can barely support it for the time being, if the reinforcements are less than a few days, it will cause a big plan. I will die for the best time and have already made preparations for myself. However, today I meet Your Majesty's unborn lord, and I will not be able to participate in the list of ministers. The upper part of the ancestral temple cannot be supplemented by one ten thousand, and the lower part of the city cannot fully enforce the loyal and righteous people. I hope the court will be able to endure the death and die with my eyes open! I hope the court will make extensive plans and think deeply, and it will be a great plan for the country and the world, and I am very lucky!"

After the letter was finished, Zhang Xiaochun felt that he was still unsatisfied, so he added with a yellow post:

"I have heard that Xuanfu and the commander of the commander of the Xuanfu, and other troops gathered, and they may have a complete plan. Not only will they rescue Taiyuan, but they will also lose all the land. However, because the situation in our office is in danger and it is difficult to wait. I have declared to Xuanfu and others. If the king's army advances together, if it has been defeated, I will ask the generals to come without considering the survival of Taiyuan and take advantage of the victory. I am still defending my life and coveting the arrival of the king's army."

Soon, Wanyan Zonghan led his troops to the Marshal's Mansion outside Taiyuan City and ordered the general attack.

This time, Wanyan Zonghan made extremely sufficient preparations and vowed to completely destroy Taiyuan City and open up the passage to the Yellow River south.

To this end, Wanyan Zonghan not only brought the few conscience-free cannons seized from the Song army, but also ordered people to build dozens of silos (a kind of stone cannon), dozens of holes (a siege car that people can hide inside), and dozens of goose cars (a siege car similar to cloud car).

Although Wanyan Zonghan prepared very well, Wang Bing was still not afraid.

Wang Bing set up many virtual fences on the city wall in advance. The Jin soldiers did not know the virtual and real, and thought that they were all city defense facilities, so they bombarded violently. Wang Bing also pre-stored a lot of chaff bags (the towers were smashed and can be repaired immediately). Therefore, although the bombardment of the unconscience cannons and stones was fierce, it did not cause a devastating blow to the Song army.

Wang Bing also sent people to dig tunnels under the city wall, open holes, and hide fire horns inside. When the straw mats and branches in the river accumulate a lot, he puts lamps on the water surface, and the lights will ignite firewood and destroy the caves of the Jin army.

However

Even if Wang Bing has the ability to cover the sky and the earth, he cannot change the two facts: one is that there are only less than 10,000 soldiers and people in the city. Two is that there is no food in the city, and there is even no leather armor to cook.

On the other hand, the Jin army launched fierce charges again and again on Taiyuan City.

In the end, the Jin army finally conquered the last line of defense in the inner city of Taiyuan City and quickly advanced towards the center of the city.

After Wang Bing heard that the defense line had been broken, he hurried into Tongping Hall to take down the imperial statue of Emperor Taizong of Song, then tied it with silk on his back, and then led the weak soldiers to continue the street fighting with the Jin army.

Later, Wang Bing was shot dozens of guns, broke through the siege, and then wanted to leave the city from the west gate.

However, the rope for the plug-in board of the Xicheng Gate was broken, and the city gate could not be opened for a while.

At this time, the Jin cavalry had already chased after him.

In a panic, all the soldiers were dispersed.

The left and right guards persuaded Wang Geng to surrender. Wang Geng sighed and said, "The city has been trapped, the soldiers have no ambition to fight, and the city gate is blocked, which is because the heavens are destroyed. How can you cherish death? You violate the will of heaven and bear the court!"

After saying that, Wang Bing jumped and committed suicide by jumping into the Fen River.

He corrected the tiger ministers and defended the city. He devoted his intelligence to the whale. After attacking for more than nine months, the thief could not ride. Without food or help, hundreds of pheasants were poured down. He carried the image to the water, and was righteous and lived in peace. He was great and bright for thousands of years!

Later, Li Yan posthumously conferred the title of loyal and wise man in the previous dynasty, and Wang Bing ranked among the top.

After Taiyuan City fell, Wanyan Zonghan led his troops into the city.

When the Jin soldiers saw people, they would kill them, and when they were young, they would set fire to the houses. The smell of blood was everywhere in the city and thick smoke was everywhere.

Zhang Xiaochun originally wanted to commit suicide with a knife, but the knife was taken away by the left and right guards. Finally, he and other officials of the government office were captured by the Jin army.

Zhang Xiaochun was taken to Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan looked at his opponent who had been besieging him for nearly nine months and said, "You dare to resist the defense of a city? The Great Liao Dynasty was destroyed by me. Today's city has been obtained by me, what can you do?"

Zhang Xiaochun replied: "If I have food in my hands, how can I show my ambition? I have heard that since ancient times, those who have been in the world have been committed to broadening their virtues but not their land. You will destroy the Great Liao Dynasty, not to continue the world, and destroy people and ancestral temples. If you do not use virtue, even if the land is vast, it will decline. If the army is afraid of being strong and warlike, you will die!"

Wanyan Zonghan smiled and said, "The Great Liao Tianzuo did not improve internal affairs, and foreign aggression to neighboring countries. He was hunting from time to time. He was insatiable and was addicted to wine and music. The Great Sage Emperor of my family knew that he would die, and he practiced the heavenly challenge to defeat the rebellion. The Great Liao country changed to Qiuxu, and it was Tianzuo who took his own fruit. Why did I say that my family had no virtue?

The king of the family sent envoys to the sea to form alliances with our family, but he was defeated again and again. Emperor Taizu Wuyuan was in a general state and did not want to go out to question the army. Later, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo came, and our emperor blamed him for defeating the alliance, so he did not send envoys, and he did not want to be harmonious. Liangsi and others repeatedly asked and asked for the same. The great sage emperor issued an edict saying: At that time, the Southern Dynasties had broken their trust, and the two dynasties had been cut off. It was only because the Southern Dynasties emperor had written a letter in person, so he was willing to return to reconcile.

However, your family sent Zhan Du to recruit Zhang Jue, the governor of Pingzhou, and added his rank and yue, so that he inherited Pingzhou. He also lured the households to go south and lured Tianzuo to your house.

Is there anyone who has lost the alliance since ancient times?

Last winter, my emperor sent the second prince Langjun and us to divide the troops to question the crime. The heavenly soldiers arrived in Bianjing, and your monarch and ministers whine to ask for peace, and asked for the three towns and twenty states to atone for the sins. The prince was sympathetic and followed his request, and then he worked in the army. However, the swearing was not done, and the alliance changed again. The three towns did not return and attacked me with troops. Xiao Zhonggong also sent back Xiao Yu to rebel against Yelu Yu. Since ancient times, he violated the alliance and did not enjoy the country. Now he is ordered to be executed again. You should change yourself, and I should use you."

Zhang Xiaochun said: "I have never heard of the affairs of the court, but I have only been ordered to command this side. How dare I turn against the country? I heard that the soldiers who did not fight against the people were the best. I have attacked the city several times, but I have never achieved the ambition. Now, because of my hunger, I have gained the old city. Besides, the attack is the worst strategy, so how can I do it! Xiaochun can only die to repay the court and not say much more."

After saying this, Zhang Xiaochun closed his eyes and waited for death.

Wanyan Zonghan looked unhappy when he saw Zhang Xiaochun not cooperating.

Several Jin soldiers rushed up to lift Zhang Xiaochun and his son Zhang Jia, and threw it on the ground.

Wanyan Zonghan threatened: "If you obey me, you can live. Otherwise, I will punish you father and son with all kinds of punishment."

Zhang Jia shouted: "I will live up to the court, I would rather be punished!"

Zhang Jia resisted vigorously and refused to surrender.

At this time, Zhang Xiaochun and Zhang Jia and his son both had the will of death.

Wanyan Zonghan said murderously: "You father and son are not afraid of death, so let's take the other officials first and kill them for you."

The Jin soldiers then brought more than 30 people including the commander Gao Ziyou, Li Zongyan, the deputy envoy of Transportation, Wang Liyan, the judge of Transportation, and the chief judge of Transportation, Shan Xiaozhong, Lianwen envoy Di Chong, Tongjian Fang Ji, Zhang Shuda and more than 30 people, and they all killed them on the spot.

Zhang Xiaochun and his son remained unchanged and were not afraid at all.

Wanyan Zonghan actually did not intend to kill Zhang Xiaochun, and wanted him to use it for his own use, so he turned around and ordered Gao Qingyi: "Prepare it and don't let him commit suicide."

After Zhang Xiaochun was captured, he went on a hunger strike and wanted to die.

Later, after being persuaded by people around me, I started drinking some porridge.

Seeing that he could not conquer Zhang Xiaochun and his son for a while, Wanyan Zonghan sent someone to take them to Yunzhong.

When Zhang Xiaochun was besieged in Taiyuan City, he was shaken and wanted to surrender and protect himself.

Later, I couldn't stand firm.

If history does not change, Zhang Xiaochun will still serve as the prime minister of the pseudo-Qi Dynasty.

During this period, Zhang Xiaochun planned for the State of Song and secretly sent information to the State of Song.

Later, Zhang Xiaochun returned to the Southern Song Dynasty and felt ashamed and died of illness in depression.

In summary, although Zhang Xiaochun is not a loyal and loyal minister, he is also a loyal and good minister, and is too much stronger than Song ministers of the same period.

From the time of being surrounded to the fallen sea, the State of Song organized three military operations to rescue Taiyuan, dispatching hundreds of thousands of troops, including the elite Western Army led by the middle-aged generals of Yao Gu and Zhongshi, all of which ended in failure.

What?

The emperor was stupid, the court was not strict, the discipline of the generals was different, and the ministers were unstable in fighting, which was due to the fact that.

How sad!
