The sound of horse hooves rumbled like thunder. Hundreds of cavalry were gathered around them, but Wanyan Zongwang, the commander-in-chief of Daijin Nanjing Road, and Wanyan Mu, the commander-in-chief of Daijin Nanjing Road, were walking in front.
Both of them were only in their thirties, and one of them was born to be fierce and ferocious, short and stocky, and it was obvious at first glance that he was a very tough and ruthless person. She was Wanyan Aguda's half-brother Wanyan Yanmu.
The other person had a face of a Bodhisattva. He was plump and had big earlobes. He didn't look fierce at all. He always had a kind smile on his lips. He seemed easy to talk to... This person was Jin Donglujun. The actual coach, who broke up the city of Tokyo in history, took all Song Huizong's family to the Five Kingdoms City to drink from the Northeast Wind, and made them all the cuckolds of Wanyan Yibu, also known as Wanyan Zongwang.
In front of these two people, about four or five miles away, is the north bank embankment of the Yellow River that rises from the ground like a long low ridge!
Behind the two of them were several five-color sun flags and red and black sun flags. The flags were fluttering in the north wind, leading endless cavalry and infantry to follow. The main force of the Jindong Route Army heading south finally arrived at the north bank of the Yellow River.
The army brought to the bank of the Yellow River by Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yan Mu, in addition to the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, also had the Bohai people who came to make decisions with the Jurchens (the Bohai people had a very high status in the Jin Kingdom, and they were almost the same as the Jurchens) The eldest Bohai Lao Er), as well as the Khitan and Xi warriors who surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, as well as warriors from various tribes outside the Northeast Great Wall, as well as Guo Yaoshi's Ever Victorious Army and the Nanjing Road Han Army led by Liu Yanzong. The miscellaneous troops added up to more than 60,000 people. Most of them were cavalry, and some were infantry. When this army set off from Yanjing, everyone was equipped with horses. However, after three months of fighting, many soldiers of the Victorious Army and the Han Army had turned into infantry advancing on foot.
However, regardless of whether there is a horse or not, every Jinbing soldier now has an expression of excitement on his face, and the rumble of horse hooves and footsteps sound very brisk to their ears. Because everyone knows that as long as they cross the Yellow River, the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty is within their grasp. The Song Dynasty was a country many times richer than the Liao Dynasty. The capital of the Song Dynasty, Kaifeng, Tokyo, was a gathering place for the world's wealth. As long as you break into Kaifeng Fucheng and grab a handful of them, you will probably be able to get enough wealth for a few lifetimes!
Countless greedy eyes were now cast on the legendary city of Kaifeng in Tokyo on the south bank of the Yellow River, where gold, silver, copper coins, silk and beauties were everywhere!
It is precisely because the wealth of Kaifeng Prefecture in Tokyo is so attractive to these veterans who have been fighting to death in the bitter cold land of the north for more than ten years that the Jindong Route Army went south this time and headed straight for Kaifeng Prefecture. If there were no defensive forces in the cities of Fuzhou and Junxian they encountered along the way, they would open them to plunder some grain, grass, mules and horses to sustain the consumption of the army. If the defense is very tight, they won't even touch it and will just go around it.
If you have the time to attack the fortified cities that you encounter on the way south, it is better to save your energy and attack Kaifeng Fucheng in Tokyo! After taking over Kaifeng Mansion, you can get as much gold and silver as you want!
Now that the Yellow River is right in front of us, is Kaifeng Mansion still far away?
At the front of the team, there were suddenly more than a hundred horse teams galloping toward the red and black flags of Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Yanmu. When more than a hundred riders approached, Wanyan Zongwang saw clearly that the leader was a tall and burly middle-aged man with not much flesh on his face. He was wearing a red battle coat issued by the Victory Army and a Jurchen fur hood. Although he had already penetrated deep into enemy territory, he was not wearing any armor.
Wanyan Zongwang recognized the man at a glance as the slave of the third surname, Guo Yaoshi, whom he hated very much. It was really a bad luck for Guo Yaoshi to defect this time. Zhao Ji had no one he could fight with, so he got Guo Yaoshi as his treasure. And the Kingdom of Jin can fight too much, and no one can look down on Yaoshi Guo.
Moreover, he is a domestic slave with the third surname, maybe the fourth, fifth and sixth surname...
Although he hated Yaoshi Guo very much in his heart, the Bodhisattva Wanyan Zongwang still had a kind smile on his face. He greeted Yaoshi Guo from a distance: "It turns out to be Guo Liushou! Why did you come here on your own? Is there someone else?" Is there anything important you want to tell me?"
Pharmacist Guo crossed his hands on the horse and said with a smile: "Reporting to Prince Langjun, I met an old acquaintance on the bank of the Yellow River. I think this person is acquainted with you, so I personally brought him here."
The title "Prince Langjun" on the Jurchen side refers to the sons of Wanyan Aguda, not to the crown prince of Dajin. At this time, the Great Jin Kingdom still implemented the Bojilie collegial system. The title of Dubojilie was changed to emperor and was no longer used. Khulu Bojilie, Ashebojilie, etc. could discuss national affairs with the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, and even Bojilie who could restrain the emperor still existed. Among them, Ban Bojilie was the heir to the throne.
"Acquaintance? Who did you meet?" Prince Langjun Wanyan Zongwang asked with a smile.
"I met Zhao Liangsi!" Pharmacist Guo said with a smile, "He was sent by the officials of the Song Dynasty to beg for mercy. Does the Crown Prince want to see him?"
"It's Zhao Liangsi, of course we have to meet him." After Wanyan Zongwang finished speaking, he smiled and said to Wanyan Yan's mother, "Zhao Liangsi is an old friend of the late emperor!"
Wanyan's mother nodded, "He can be considered a capable person, but it's a pity that he followed the wrong master and didn't know how to abandon the dark side and turn to the bright side."
Wanyan Zongwang smiled and waved to Medicine Master Guo, "Go and bring him!"
Pharmacist Guo agreed, but did not move the horse. He just stretched out his arm and waved back. He saw several victorious army cavalry protecting a fat man wearing official uniforms of the Song Dynasty arriving in front of Wanyan Zongwang.
Wanyan Zongwang looked at the fat man and immediately said with a smile: "Zhao Guisheng, how come you have become so fat? You are almost unrecognizable."
Zhao Liangsi also recognized Wanyan Zongwang, so he smiled and said: "Kaifeng cuisine is delicious, so I ate too much and gained a lot of fat, which made the second prince laugh."
"Hahaha!" Wanyan Zongwang had a joking temper and immediately said with a smile, "Then we have to go to Kaifeng City to eat well!
Ambassador Zhao, are you here to submit your service or to negotiate? If you are here for service, please lead the way. If you want to negotiate, don't beat around the bush and just say it. "
Zhao Liangsi nodded and said: "This envoy is here to negotiate... The official family has already spent three million in wealth and an imperial concubine, and wants to buy a lot of money to retreat."
"Only three million?" Wanyan Zongwang shook his head repeatedly and said seriously, "It's less, it's less... at least 30 million, Di Ji must give 10, otherwise it won't be enough!"
Zhao Liangsi said again: "Prince Langjun, the officials also ordered his third son, Wang Kai, to be the marshal of Hebei's army and horse and the peace envoy. They also gave him three million in property and an imperial concubine... ..If the prince wants to negotiate peace, you can go to Daming Mansion to find him. If you are not willing to negotiate, then King Yun Kaike will use the three million to recruit strong men and become the enemy of the Kingdom of Jin!"
