Chapter 693 Bringing Jurchen home

After leaving Tokyo, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan became less and less like emperors.

Actually, this is normal.

In this snowy and ice, no matter what kind of decency, majesty, or demeanor, it doesn't matter.

The only thing that matters is to live.

Therefore, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan used their brocade clothes, jade belts and Jin soldiers to change into sheepskin coats and hemp ropes, and transformed into sheepherds and village hans.

It’s okay to wear it, just be cold or frozen to death.

The key is to eat.

Because the central army was clenched behind, the Jin army could not supply food at all. Not to mention prisoners like Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan, and even the Jin army soldiers were hungry and full.

Once, Zhao Ji saw mulberries on the mulberry trees on the roadside, so he hurried to pick them to satisfy his hunger.

As a result, Zhao Ji almost choked to death because he was eating too fast.

The servants came over and patted Zhao Ji, but finally rescued Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji felt embarrassed, so he said without knowing the truth and falsehood: "When I was the King of Duan, I saw the wet nurse eating this thing in the palace, and I ate it with me. As soon as I ate a few, the wet nurse snatched it away. She said that this thing was not eaten by the prince. After so many years, I have long forgotten what it tastes, but I didn't expect it to taste so delicious today."

After saying that, Zhao Ji burst into tears.

The servants also started to cry.

Along the way, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others were really guilty.

To prevent changes, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan were escorted separately.

Because the Jin people were afraid that the local prefectures and counties in the Song Dynasty would raise troops to intercept prisoners, and were afraid that the central army would suddenly catch up from behind and take away these important prisoners. When they were about to cross the mountain, the Jin army tied Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others to the same as rice dumplings, and tied them to the horse to prevent them from running away. When they were sleeping, they tied Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others into strings, and it was not tied with hands, but the head of this person was connected to the foot of that person - in this way, they could not escape.

Along the way, there were many people who couldn't bear this insult and chose to escape or commit suicide.

However, more people starve to death.

When passing by the Western Capital Luoyang, Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others hoped that the Jin army would go to the city to rest and then seek the restoration of the Zhao family.

What a pity!

Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and others could only look at Luoyang from a distance and were forced to continue moving westward.

To be honest, the Jin army also wanted to go to Luoyang for a rest, but Wanyan Zonghan and others were very scared. After they entered Luoyang, they could never get out again.

You know, this is a very likely situation, because this group is an isolated army. Once they are blocked by the central army in Luoyang City, it will be called Tiantian and the Earth will not work.

Therefore, although the current situation is extremely bad, Wanyan Zonghan and others still sent troops to stop the central army's biting and killing, and quickly fled westward, preparing to break through Fan Zhixu's defense, then fled to Hedong, and then fled from Hedong to Yundi and back to Shangjing.

In order to achieve this goal, the Jin army has paid a great price.

Sixty-seven out of ten things that the Jin army snatched and blackmailed from the city of Bianliang in Tokyo were thrown away by them along the way - they didn't want to throw them away, but those things were too bulky. The key is that most of the Song people they plundered were rescued or fled by the central army, and they had no ability to transport these things away.

In fact, if this is the case, the Jin people could barely accept it. After all, they still had a large number of treasures plundered and blackmailed from the Song Dynasty - the value of these treasures was far greater than the value of the things they threw away.

What the Jin people couldn't accept was that after several consecutive battles, a large number of Jin soldiers were killed, captured or dispersed.

At present, the Jin army has less than 50,000 troops established.

More importantly, with the death of the Jin army generals Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Jamu, Wanyan Olu and others one after another, the myth of "The Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible" has been shattered, and many Jin people began to worry about whether they can go home, and the morale of the Jin army has plummeted.

However--

It rained all night long, and the boat was late and the wind was on the head.

But at this moment, Li Siben, Geng Shouzhong, He Quan and other Han'er generals led six or seven thousand Han'er to defect to the Central Army with more than two thousand large trucks. Moreover, before they left, they burned most of the Jin army's food and grass. Because the civil servants captured by the Jin army ran away, the Han'er army, which had the lowest status among the Jin army, began to act as civil servants, responsible for driving the truck to escort the Jin army from the Song Dynasty, blackmailed things and the food and grass of the Jin army.

As soon as this opening was opened, Han'er troops continued to defect.

Moreover, not only the Han'er army, but also the Khitan, Xi tribe and Bohai tribes, began to defect.

Recently, there has been a news circulating in the Jin army that the Concubine of the Yuan Dynasty, the daughter of the Northern Liao Empress Dowager Xiao Puxian, the Grand Marshal Yelu Dashi and others called on all the old people of the Great Liao to surrender to Dazhong. As long as they are not Jurchens, they will not blame them after surrendering, and those who have made meritorious contributions can also receive heavy rewards.

Almost everyone in the Jin army knows this news now.

Wanyan Zonghan and others are veterans who have been fighting for more than ten years. How could they not know that there must be spies who have sneaked into the central army in their team?

But now the central army is clenched by the Jin army. Wanyan Zonghan and others know that there are spies from the central army in their team, and they don’t have time to pull them out.

In other words, for the Jin army, the rise and fall of one another is inevitable.

In short, the current situation of the Jin army is that there are so many differences, and there are even signs of annihilation of the entire army.

The situation of the Jin army was so bad that it pushed Wanyan Zonghan, who had originally advocated going south, to the forefront, especially when another culprit Wanyan Zongwang had already died in battle, Wanyan Zonghan's situation was even worse.

Even Wanyan Zonghan had heard the news of dismissing his post as deputy marshal.

Since the robbery of the Song Dynasty, the blackmailed things have disappeared. The army of more than 100,000 is now only 40,000. In a few days, it may be less than 30,000. As they see, they are about to reach the end and will always be buried in a foreign land and become strangers.

In this case, Wanyan Zonghan just wanted to refuse to admit that the overall failure of this southward journey was impossible.

It can be said that Wanyan Zonghan's political future has ended. He can only bring these 30,000 to Yundi and Shangjing. He will not think of commanding troops again in his life, or even in politics again. It is hard to say whether he can live.

You know, this is a great defeat that the Jurchens have never experienced since Wanyan Agu started the army.

More importantly, this great defeat will lead to the Jin Dynasty, a regime that has not been born for many years, in an extremely passive place.

As the commander-in-chief of this time, Wanyan Zonghan is definitely to blame.

But Wanyan Zonghan no longer cared about these things. Now, the only thing he thought was to take the Jurchens home, leave some seeds for the Jurchens and the Dajin.

As for what he will end in the future, Wanyan Zonghan no longer cares about it.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan held a key meeting, a meeting that will determine the life and death of these 30,000 to 40,000 of them!
