…

Shortly after Zhang Shuye led the royal army to enter Bianliang City, the main force of the Jinxi Road Army and the main force of the Eastern Road Army arrived at the Bianliang City one after another.

Someone has a rough count and found that the Jin army had a total of about 100,000 troops.

Among them, many of them were forced to come to transport food and grass from Hedong, Hebei, and they also counted them.

In addition, the Jin army also captured some people from the city, and asked them to transport stones and log wood, and make siege equipment. The number of these people was also quite large.

In short, the Jin army should not exceed 80,000 soldiers.

Wanyan Zongwang stationed the headquarters in Liujia Temple in the northeastern suburbs of Tokyo.

Wanyan Zonghan stationed the headquarters in Qingcheng, a suburb of southwest Tokyo, which was originally the Zhai Palace where the emperor of the Song Dynasty held a suburb festival.

The main force of the Jin army gradually dispersed, and then several military camps were set up on the four walls of Bianliang City to surround Bianliang City.

The Jin army finally arrived at the city of Bianliang.

Faced with this situation, Zhao Huan was at a loss, and did not want to do nothing, and waited for death.

After thinking about it, Zhao Huan issued an edict, and the three high-ranking officials changed their original names. The Taizai and the Shaozai were still called Shangshu Zuo and the Right Pushe.

Then, Zhao Huan appointed He Li, the minister of the subordinate, as the minister of the Shangshu, and the minister of the Central Secretariat, as the prime minister; appointed the prosecutor, the governor of the Zhenhai Army, and Liu Yanqing, the envoy of the Baolu Palace of the Qing Dynasty, as the prosecutor, as the prosecutor, the tutor of the prosecutor.

Soon, Zhao Huan issued another edict to go to the south wall of the capital to inspect the city defense.

When he arrived at Nanxun Gate, Zhao Huan saw the royal army led by Zhang Shuye and his army was cleansed. He was very happy. He immediately ordered the golden belt on the head of Prime Minister He Lihu and rewarded it to Zhang Shuye.

Zhang Shuye took the opportunity to make a suggestion, "Guo Jing leads a crazy lead, and he will be defeated. Now that the Jin people's camp outside the city has not yet been built, I am willing to lead the generals out of the city to attack them, and the Jin people will be defeated."

Zhao Huan did not adopt Zhao Huan now and no longer had the courage to fight.

Soon, the Jin army officially began to attack the city.

To be honest, at the beginning, the Song army fought very well.

Fan Qiong secretly led his troops out of the city to attack the Jin army camp, successfully returned, and captured hundreds of Jin people's heads.

The Song army then sent a suicide squad to the city and burned five Jin people's artillery mounts and two Goose chariots. However, there were still seven gun mounts that had not been burned. The gun mounts that had not been set up were invincible. Yao Youzhong then led a thousand men in the front army to support them, went down to the city to fight, killing and killing many Jin people.

Although Liu Yanqing was defeated by the Liao army when he led the northern expedition to recover Yanjing, his reputation plummeted, he still had a lot of combat experience. Seeing that the southeast city defense was weak, he personally came to the city to command the enemy. Liu Yanqing had a very good way of commanding the battle every night, he asked hundreds of bundles of hay under the city. When he found that the Jin people siege the city, he ignited the police, so as to prevent the Jin people from sneak attacking. He also accepted the suggestion of others and placed a Jiuniu cannon on the wall of the east city. Although this cannon was a little worn, it could still be used. It played a huge role in the city defense and crushed the ladders of the Jin army's siege many times. Zhao Huan also issued a special edict to grant this cannon the title of the general to protect the country.

Zhao Huan also appointed Zhang Shuye as the official of the Privy Council and promoted to the ranks of the ruling ministers. He also asked Zhang Shuye and Sun Fu to jointly handle the defense of the four walls. At the same time, Zhang Shuye was still the general manager of the South Road, and the other three roads were also subject to their control.

From Zhang Shuye's position, it is not difficult to see that Zhao Huan is really planning to reuse Zhang Shuye.

But Zhao Huan is very problematic in employing people. On the one hand, he wants to delegate power to the ministers, but on the other hand, he dare not delegate power to the ministers.

Take Zhang Shuye as an example.

Zhang Shuye, who had been unsuccessful for many years, was suddenly valued by Zhao Huan, and wanted to show off his strength to embrace Zhao Huan's emperor's kindness.

Zhang Shuye planned to go out of the city to fight with the Jin army, which would boost the morale of the Song army, so that the Jin army would not dare to underestimate the Song State, and also make the Song State less passive.

Therefore, Zhang Shuye sent someone to inform Fan Qiong, Li Shi, Zhang Xian, Pei Yuan, Meng Zao, Wang Qiong, Zhe Yanwen, He Zhonggang, Zhang Xian and other generals to come to the city at noon tomorrow to hold a meeting.

But the next day, Uncle Zhang waited until the afternoon. None of the generals he had sent to notify yesterday came.

Uncle Zhang was puzzled!

At about noon, an eunuch suddenly came and gave Zhang Shuye a handwritten edict from Zhao Huan. "I heard that you ordered all the generals to summon all the generals. Do you want to go out to fight? If you want to go out to fight, I'll be lucky to tell you first."

Only then did Zhang Shuye realize that his position as a Privy Council was actually just a name and had no real power at all.

Uncle Zhang suddenly felt extremely depressed, "In this troublesome autumn, what's the use of this false reputation?"

The more Zhang Shuye thought about it, the more he felt uncomfortable. So he wrote a letter to ask that he should be exempted from his position as Privy Councillor of the Southern Road, and he would only serve as the chief supervisor of the Southern Road and lead the officers and soldiers of the southern road to defend the city.

However, Zhao Huan also disagreed.

Only the only way can be used.

In addition, none of the troops who served the kings have arrived yet, but not none of them have arrived. Hu Zhiru led 10,000 troops to serve the kings. As a result, Hu Zhiru's troops fought alone and were surrounded by the Jin soldiers. The army was defeated, and Hu Zhiru was unfortunately captured.

In addition, I don’t know what happened this winter, but it was extremely cold. The Jurchens lived in a bitter and cold place in the northeast and were very adapted to this kind of weather. The Song people rarely encountered such cold weather, so they were not adapted at all. Many soldiers were even so cold that they could not hold their weapons. What’s more important is the psychological pressure, and many Song people believed that even God was helping the Jin army.

With all this, the morale of the Song army became increasingly declining.

On the other hand, the Jin people were extremely cunning. They not only fought, but also sent envoys to negotiate with the Song State, which made the Song people unable to make up for a decisive battle with the Jin army to the end.

Moreover, Wanyan Zonghan is very good at talking. To be precise, Wanyan Zonghan is very good at grasping the psychology of the Song people, especially Zhao Huan's psychology.

Wanyan Zonghan once asked Zhao Huan to leave the city to join the alliance, but was rejected.

Wanyan Zonghan quickly lowered his request and proposed to let the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji and the Crown Prince Zhao Chen go out of the city.

After this post was rejected, Wanyan Zonghan lowered his request and asked Zhao Huan to send the prime minister and the prince to the army as hostages.

In this way, Zhao Huan, who did not care about the life and death of the Prime Minister and the Prince, could not refuse, and then sent someone to the peace talks, and then held hope for the peace talks and could not respond with all his strength.

but

After all, the Jin people never really stopped attacking Bianliang City.

Moreover, the more you attack, the more fierce you become, it seems that you will not give up until you break the Bianliang City.

It is undeniable that the Jin army's combat battles are very strong.

But among the Song army, there are also some very powerful troops, such as the Linfu Army, or the Zhe Family Army, who are very capable of fighting.

More than a thousand Linfu soldiers led by Wang Qiong made contributions to the Jin army's attack on Bianliang City.

Wang Qiong was also a loyal and brave general, and he always tried his best to defend Bianliang City.

Unfortunately, not long ago, Wang Qiong was injured by a large Jin army cannon while reinforced the Song Gate and was bleeding profusely. He was then helped down the city.

As soon as Wang Qiong left, the more than a thousand soldiers in the Lin Mansion did not obey other people's command, and even the commander Wang Zongqi could not command them.

One day, Wang Zongyi saw that the Jin army was very anxious to attack the city, so he used his benefits to lure the soldiers of the Lin Mansion and said, "If you dare to kill the thief with a long spear, you will be recommended to Chengjielang, and you will be rewarded with five bowls, and there will be officials transferred to three officials."

Seeing that the soldiers and soldiers of the Lin Mansion had a heavy reward, they fought for their first service and killed more than 3,000 Jin soldiers in one battle.

However, after the battle, Wang Zongyi's promised self-publicity and the golden bowl could not be fulfilled.

The soldiers and soldiers of the Lin Mansion all complained, and even almost caused a mutiny.

In short, although the Song army has always been at a disadvantage, as long as they firmly seize the strong city of Bianliang, there will still be a battle to fight.

Raise a hundred thousand troops, spending a thousand dollars a day.

As long as the Song army persists, the Jin army will definitely not be able to hold on.

In the end, this battle is likely to be another Tan Yuan Alliance.

It's a pity...
