The next day, the Jin army launched an attack under the command of Wanyan Zongwang. This time the Jin army changed its tactics and did not launch a direct charge. Instead, it first used slings to throw stones and attack the city wall.
This time the Song army also changed their tactics and hid behind the city wall to minimize the casualties caused by slings to the troops.
When the Jin army launched an infantry charge, the Song army suddenly rushed to the city wall, fired bows and arrows, and threw stones to stop the attack.
By noon, Wanyan Zongwang's troops retreated, and Wanyan Zonghan's Jin army took over. In this case, the Song army's defense line loosened, and the Jin army rushed under the city wall.
In order to repel the enemy, Li Gang ordered the use of thunderbolt cannons,
"Dong, dong, dong..." After several loud noises, some soldiers and horses of the Jin Army were blinded by lime, unable to fight, and forced to retreat.
The next day Wanyan Wushu received information: Song Army general Zhong Shidao led an army of 200,000 to Tokyo to rescue him, so he quickly called the generals to discuss the matter.
After everyone arrived, Wanyan Wushu said: "Dear colleagues, according to the report of Tan Ma, the Song Army general Zhong Shidao led an army of 200,000 to come to the rescue. How should we respond?" Hamichi said: "Master Lang, According to Tan Ma's report, there are 100,000 Song troops in Tokyo, plus Zhong Shidao's 200,000 troops, totaling 300,000. Even if they are bluffing, the actual strength is more than 100,000. And our army only has 80,000 troops, so head-on confrontation is not the best strategy. , in my opinion, we should temporarily negotiate peace with the Southern Dynasty, withdraw our troops and return to the north, recharge our batteries, look for another opportunity, and conduct another southern expedition." Wanyan Zongwang was furious when he heard this: "Could it be that this southern expedition will return in vain? "?" Hamichi said: "Marshal Deputy Capital, please calm down. We can ask the Southern Dynasty to give us some gold, silver, cattle and horses during the peace negotiation." In the end, the generals accepted Hamichi's suggestion.
The next day, Wanyan Wushu sent an envoy to the outside of Tokyo to ask for the city gates to be opened and to enter the city to discuss peace. The soldiers responsible for guarding the city gates did not dare to make the decision and reported the matter to each level.
After receiving the report, the emperor immediately ordered the city gates to be opened and sent Li Ye to greet the envoy. At the same time, ministers were summoned to discuss the peace plan.
After discussion, the emperor made a decision: he could negotiate peace with the Jin State, but the Jin army must retreat to the north of Yanshan Mountain. The two countries would use Yanshan Mountain as the boundary and would not invade each other.
Song paid the Jin State four million taels of silver in one lump sum, and thereafter paid the Jin State 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 bolts of silk every year.
Then the emperor summoned the envoy from the Kingdom of Jin and said to him: "I agree to negotiate with your country, but your official position is too low. I hope your country will send important officials to negotiate." The envoy replied: "In compliance with the order, I will go back and report to the marshal of the capital." The envoy returned to the Jin army camp and reported the Song Dynasty's conditions to Wanyan Wushu. Wanyan Wushu sent the Jin army general Wan Yanchang as a representative to the city to negotiate peace with the Song Dynasty.
The next day Wan Yanchang came to the city and met with Zhang Bangchang, the negotiator of the Song Dynasty. Zhang Bangchang stated the conditions of the Song Dynasty. After hearing this, Wan Yanchang shook his head repeatedly: "No, no, no, too little. We want five hundred thousand taels of gold, five hundred Ten thousand taels of silver and a thousand oxen and horses. After we get them, we will withdraw our troops and return to the north. From now on, the Song Dynasty will give the Jin Kingdom 250,000 taels of silver and 250,000 pieces of silk every year." Zhang Bangchang reported these conditions to the emperor, who wanted to spend the money Money buys peace, expresses agreement.
After the peace was reached, Wanyan Wushu proposed holding a banquet in the military camp to celebrate. The emperor of the Song Dynasty brought Zhang Bangchang, the political counselor (equivalent to deputy prime minister), Wang Yuan, the general of the imperial army, and ten imperial guards to attend.
At the banquet, Wanyan Wushu raised his wine glass and said to Song Qinzong (the then emperor of the Song Dynasty): "Your Majesty, I hope that the two countries will always have peace and never go to war again." Song Qinzong also raised his wine glass and touched it with Wanyan Wushu: " I wish the general and his officers a safe and smooth journey back north." After three rounds of wine and five delicious dishes, Wanyan Zongwang asked Song Qinzong: "Is Your Majesty willing that the two countries will not go to war again?" Song Qinzong replied: "Of course." End Yan Zongwang: "As long as Your Majesty agrees to betroth Emperor Maode to me, the two countries can form a good relationship between Qin and Jin and never go to war." Song Qinzong replied: "Empress Maode is already married. I cannot agree to the general's request." Wanyan Zongwang After hearing this, he was furious, slapped the table and stood up: "If Your Majesty does not agree, then I will have to lead troops to rob people." Wanyan Wushu was afraid that Wanyan Zongwang would be reckless and destroy the temporary retreat agreed a few days ago, and look for another opportunity. , the plan of another southern expedition.
He quickly reprimanded Wanyan Zongwang and said: "Wanyan Zongwang, don't talk nonsense after drinking." Wanyan Zongwang wanted to argue, but because Wanyan Wushu was the marshal of the capital, he had to give up.
Then he turned to Song Qinzong and said: "Your Majesty the Emperor, General Zong Wang talked nonsense after drinking. I will drink a glass of wine on his behalf to apologize to you. Please don't be offended." Song Qinzong replied: "No one is a saint, and no one can do anything wrong. For all intents and purposes, In terms of the marshal's face, I don't blame him." After this incident, Song Qinzong didn't want to drink anymore, so he returned to Tokyo on the pretext that he was too drunk.
