Wei Zhiyu was originally ordered by Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan to intercept the imperial army and escort the Jin soldiers and horses. When he met with King Su, he had not had time to report to Su King Zhao Shu. Zhao Shu scolded him and blamed him for intercepting the Jin army. Killed him. Wei Zhiyu, who was kneeling on the ground, hurriedly reported to Su Wang Zhao Shu: "Report to Su Wang, the general is stationed here under the orders of Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan. You are here to protect the Jin army from leaving the country, not to stop the Jin army. "
When Zhao Shu heard Wei Zhiyu's report, his heart suddenly dropped into his stomach, and he became more courageous. He turned around and said to Wanyan Mu, the general of the Jin Kingdom who came with him: "Our dynasty is a country of trust, how can we go back on our words?! Look, our general is stationed here not to block your army, but to escort your army out of the country." General Jin, who was originally going to return to the Chinese army to report the situation, also hurriedly reported to Wanyan's mother: " Report to the prince, the situation is exactly like this, I am about to report to the marshal and the princes." When Wanyan's mother saw this, she was overjoyed, got off her horse in a hurry, and helped Wei Zhiyu who was kneeling on the ground. After Wei Zhiyu stood up, he looked back and ordered: "Move to the stronghold and give way!" The Song army quickly gave way to the main road. Wanyan Yanmu led the Jin army's front troops to pass quickly. Zhao Shu and Zhang Bangchang rode their horses to the side, waiting for Wanyan Zongwang's central army.
Beside Zhao Shu, Zhang Bangchang whispered: "King Su, the Jin army has safely retreated. It's time for us to return to the court, right?" Upon hearing this, Zhao Shu frowned, his face full of worry. As a prince, Zhao Shu was tired of staying in the Jin camp for a long time. He was eager to leave the Jin camp as soon as possible and return to the palace in Bianjing city. However, he did not know what Wanyan Zongwang thought, and he did not dare to bring it up.
Zhang Bangchang was even more frightened. Zhang Bangchang knew that if there was a dispute between the imperial court and the Jin Kingdom, Zhao Shu, as a prince, might not be killed, but as a minister, he would most likely be killed by the Jin army first to punish the dishonest imperial court. Therefore, Zhang Bangchang was looking forward to an early date. Leave Jin Camp. Now that Wei Zhiyu was specifically escorting the Jin army to leave the country, Wanyan Zongwang felt happy, perhaps replaying King Su's departure from the Jin camp with him. Zhang Bangchang then asked King Su that way, hoping that King Su would raise this question in front of Wanyan Zongwang.
Su Wang Zhao Shu stood on the roadside, watching the steady stream of Jin troops passing by the horse, and he felt even more worried. Jin Bing has returned to his place, where should we go with him? Is it possible that you want to take us to the Kingdom of Jin? When I held hostage at the Jin camp, I was only guaranteeing the safe departure of the Jin army. Now that the Jin army has left the country safely, it is natural for me to return to the court. King Su thought that after meeting Wanyan Zongwang later, he would raise this issue and insist on returning to Bianjing. Zhao Shu was thinking in his mind, and turned to look at Wei Zhiyu and his Song troops, thinking, no matter what, there are still tens of thousands of Song troops here, which is also a pressure on Wanyan Zongwang. If this king ascends high and shouts, I am not afraid that Wanyan Zongwang will not be frightened.
Thinking of using the imperial troops led by Wei Zhiyu, Zhao Shu rushed to Wei Zhiyu. Wei Zhiyu hurried over, raised his head and asked, "What advice does King Su have?" King Su turned his head and looked at Zhang Bangchang again, then looked at Wei Zhiyu and said, "How many troops does General Wei have?" Wei Zhiyu has not yet answered. Zhang Bangchang was shocked at first and stared at King Su closely, feeling extremely nervous. Wei Zhiyu didn't know what King Su meant, so he replied: "Report to King Su, the last general has more than 30,000 troops." Zhao Shu nodded. Zhang Bangchang asked hurriedly: "King Su is above, I dare to ask, what is King Su's intention?" King Su Zhao Shu also looked at Zhang Bangchang and whispered: "Tazai, I want to take advantage of the soldiers' self-respect, and use the soldiers to admonish the Jin commander, and take the opportunity to leave the Jin camp. , return to Prince Bianjing's Mansion." Zhang Bangchang was shocked and said hurriedly: "King Su, you must not do it!" King Su said: "Why not?" Zhang Bangchang said: "Reporting to King Su, the imperial court has hundreds of thousands of troops and gold. The army cannot retreat, so we have to cede territory to pay compensation, and also hold the prince hostage in the Jin camp. Now we only rely on 30,000 soldiers and horses. If we want to fight against the Jin army, we are afraid that moths will fly into the flames and cause disaster on our own." King Su said, feeling a lot guilty. , asked: "What should we do in this way?" Zhang Bangchang said: "I have no choice but to ask Commander Jin to let me, the emperor, and his ministers return to the court; but it is absolutely impossible to do anything reckless."
Next to him, Wei Zhiyu heard something interesting and asked King Su: "King Su dares to ask his general to lead his troops and horses to escort him back to the court?" King Su remained silent. Wei Zhiyu said: "King Su has given an order, and the general will not hesitate to die. He will escort King Su back to the court." Zhang Bangchang was in a hurry, fearing that Zhao Shu would do something reckless on a whim with Wei Zhiyu's support, so he hurriedly reprimanded him. Wei Zhiyu said: "Nonsense! The Jin army is an army of tigers and wolves. Do you want to trap King Su in a situation of eternal disaster?!" Wei Zhiyu replied: "Reply to Dazai! Although the last general was ordered to stop the imperial troops and escort the Jin army out of the country, It was the order of the prime minister of the imperial court; now, King Su is in trouble, and there is a king's order. Ministers have to risk their lives and sacrifice their lives for righteousness. The prime minister's order is to give up the throne." Zhang Bangchang hurriedly bowed to Wei Zhiyu. : "No, General Wei. Only by assessing the situation and considering the overall situation can we save the king from the fire and water. Fighting head-on with the Jin army now will not help, and will only put King Su in a disadvantageous position. General Wei, your mission, It means escorting the Jin army out of the country safely. As for how King Su and the Prime Minister get out of trouble, it is a matter between King Su and the Prime Minister, and we will act accordingly."
Zhang Bangchang also wanted to leave the Jin camp as soon as possible and return to Bianjing, but Zhang Bangchang did not have the courage to rely on force. He was afraid that he would offend the Jin army and kill him, so he strongly opposed King Su's plan to use Wei Zhiyu's troops to get out of trouble. King Su didn't have the courage, he just thought about it. When King Su saw what Zhang Bangchang said, he thought to himself that Zhang Bangchang was saying the same thing. Even the hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the imperial court could not defeat the Jin army, and they had to cede territory to pay compensation. Now he relied on the tens of thousands of soldiers and horses who originally escorted the Jin army to leave the country to save him. Indeed, It's a bit too whimsical to take this risk. Therefore, King Su gave up the idea of relying on Wei Zhiyu to blackmail Wanyan Zongwang. King Su then comforted Wei Zhiyu and said: "General Wei is commendable for his loyalty, and what he said was sincere. This king was very happy to hear it. However, such a major event cannot be taken lightly. General Wang still obeyed the orders of Prime Minister Bai and Li and escorted Jin. The army left the country safely. As for the matter between the king and Dazai, let me and Dazai handle it themselves." After hearing what Su Wang Zhao Shu said, Zhang Bangchang felt relieved.
After about an hour, the Jin army came in force. King Su, Zhang Bangchang, and Wei Zhiyu greeted him at the roadside. After the Chinese army arrived, Wanyan Zongwang rode over to meet King Su. Su Wang Zhao Shu explained the situation to Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang nodded and said: "I already know the truth, Song Ting still keeps his word." King Su then introduced Wei Zhiyu to Wanyan Zongwang. Wei Zhiyu bowed to Wanyan Zongwang without saying anything. Wanyan Zongwang paid his respects to Wei Zhiyu and said, "Thank you so much, General Wei. I will help you if you are interested." After hearing this, Wei Zhiyu thought to himself, I am a general of the Song Dynasty and not your minister. How can you make love to me? Besides, I am only following the orders of the imperial court. There is no relationship between me and you. The imperial court asked me to intercept and kill you. According to the instructions, I will ride on the battlefield, charge into the battle, and kill you under the horse. There is nothing to say.
After meeting Wei Zhiyu, Wanyan Zongwang smiled at Zhao Shu and said, "King Su, let's go!" King Su did not move on his horse, but instead bowed and said, "Tell me, Commander, I am old. The commander set out from the capital and arrived at the bank of the Yellow River. The commander led his troops and horses, crossed the Yellow River, and returned to Jindi safely. The king's mission was also completed. The king said goodbye to the commander and returned to Bianjing to report to the court. Return to life."
Wanyan Zong saw this and said, thinking that the prince of the Song Dynasty was held hostage in the barracks to prevent the Song Dynasty soldiers and horses from violating the contract and attacking. Now that they have arrived at the Yellow River crossing, the Song Dynasty has also sent soldiers and horses to escort them. As long as they cross the Yellow River, they will be safe. Then they will send Prince Su and Zhang Bangchang to the barracks. It doesn't make much sense when it comes to military camps. With this in mind, Wanyan Zongwang was about to let King Su and Zhang Bangchang go back. However, before Wanyan Zongwang could say anything, Pharmacist Guo came out from the side and said to King Su: "King Su, what are you kidding me?! You are the one who ceded our country to me?" How can you, Prince Su, leave when the land and the money and silk to compensate our country have not yet been received? I'm afraid this won't work. You still have to go north as a general. Once the land is ceded to your court and the money and silk compensation are in place, you, Prince Su, will naturally be allowed to return to the court. "
Guo Yaoshi was originally a general of the Jin Kingdom. Yelu Yanxi, the fugitive emperor of the Jin Kingdom, treated him well and made him the leader of the resentful army. Unexpectedly, he betrayed the Liao Dynasty and defected to the Song Dynasty. After Guo Pharmacist defected to the Song Dynasty, Huizong Zhao Ji trusted him and treated him very kindly. He was appointed as the observer of Enzhou and informed of Zhuozhou's military affairs. He also gave him a mansion and a beautiful concubine in Bianjing, and ordered the princes and ministers of the imperial court to entertain him in turn. ; In order to show his trust and respect for Guo Yaoshi, Emperor Huizong Zhao Ji also accompanied him to play ball in Moutuogang. As a result, this guy turned his back to the Kingdom of Jin and became Wanyan Zong's lackey. When Wanyan Zongwang's attack on Bianjing was blocked, it was this man who suggested that Wanyan Zongwang seize Moutuogang in the northwest of Bianjing because he and Huizong Zhao Ji had played there and knew that there was the Tiansi Prison of the Song Dynasty, which had two good horses. More than 10,000 horses, a mountain of feed. Under his guidance, Wanyan Zongwang robbed Moutuogang and obtained more than 20,000 good horses and countless fodder, which solved the food and grass problem.
When Pharmacist Guo surrendered to the Song Dynasty and was favored, Su Wang Zhao Shu and Dazai Zhang Bangchang also had many contacts with him and treated him well. Now when he was about to escape, he was blocked by Pharmacist Guo, which made Su Wang Zhao Shu ashamed and angry. Immediately, King Su's face turned red, he glared at Pharmacist Guo angrily, and cursed in his heart: You, a slave of the third surname, are so shameless, you will definitely not die well in the future!
Pharmacist Guo’s words also reminded Wanyan Zongwang. Wanyan Zongwang gave up the idea of releasing Su Wang Zhao Shu and Dazai Zhang Bangchang to return to the court. Wanyan Zongwang said to Su Wang Zhao Shu: "The war between the two countries is dangerous and uncertain. King Su will have to march north with his troops. When you clearly cede the land and pay the compensation in money and silk, I will naturally send King Su and Dazai back to the court." King Su have no choice. Zhang Bangchang was so angry that he scolded Pharmacist Guo in his heart: "You are a beast, you have the liver and lungs of a donkey, you are not raised by humans! I was so good to you back then, how could you repay your kindness with my hatred?!" Then Pharmacist Guo is not a human being in the first place, how can he know how to do it? grateful? ! Su Wang Zhao Shu and Dazai Zhang Bangchang had no choice but to go north to Wanyan Zongwang, all the way to the Yellow River ferry.
