Finally got it!
Wanyan Zongwang, who was riding his horse and standing on a high-lying embankment by the Wuzhang River to watch the battle, saw that the Song Army cavalry who broke out of the encirclement were finally scattered, and the golden-armored general who was probably some kind of general was killed by Wanyan Seri. After shooting, he immediately breathed a sigh of relief and showed a satisfied smile.
The battle for the Sanshan Floating Bridge (Wannian Xindi) has been fought so far, and it should be considered a complete victory. The Song army was wiped out one after another, ranging from 100,000 to 80,000, and they were all elite!
Now, except that King Yun Zhao Kai who is far away in Taiyuan Mansion still has some elite soldiers, there should be no army in the Song Kingdom that can compete with Dajin, right?
Although Zhao Kai is a difficult and ruthless character, the official in Song Dynasty is not him, but the coward Zhao Ji. Moreover, Zhao Ji is only in his forties this year and is in very good health. It is possible for him to be an official for another thirty years!
Even if Zhao Kai could survive until then, there would still be Prince Zhao Huan or Zhao Huan's son who could take the throne. Under normal circumstances, Zhao Kai's people would not be able to become officials.
If Zhao Kai wanted to seize the official position...then the father, son and brothers of the Song Dynasty would be prone to fighting!
Moreover, Zhao Kai held the last elite of the Song Dynasty in his hands, so how could he not covet the throne?
By then, the Song Kingdom might start killing each other, and then the Jin Kingdom would be able to dominate the world.
Thinking of the good thing about the Jin Kingdom's unification of the world, the proud Wanyan Zongwang took his entourage and staff down the embankment and headed towards the place where Zhao Ji's body was. He had to go and see what this golden-armored general looked like. This guy was quite good at fighting, and he probably wasn't a small character that no one knew about.
Just as he was thinking about this, Wanyan Zongwang suddenly heard a cry.
"Uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu.
"Father...my son is no longer alive. I will leave with you now!"
"Father, why do you just..."
Zong Wang followed the sound and found that around the body of General Jinjia, there were people No. 7 and 8 surrounding him. They looked like they were captured Song officers and soldiers... He didn't know. What is their relationship with this golden-armored general? Why are you crying so sadly?
Wanyan Zongwang didn't understand much Chinese, so he turned to ask Gao Qingyi and Shi Liai, the Han staff beside him: "What are those people crying about..."
He was only halfway through his words when he saw the expressions of astonishment on the faces of the two people.
what happened?
"The prince, the prince, is dead. It seems that the person who died is an official of the Song Dynasty!"
"Second Prince... Well, that General in Golden Armor seems to be an official of the Song Dynasty!"
Wanyan Zongwang stared at the two people with his mouth wide open, and it took him a long time to realize, "How is this possible? How could it be Zhao Ji... How could Zhao Ji be so fierce?
Moreover, if Zhao Ji is not staying well in Kaifeng Mansion, what is he doing out of the city? "
Gao Qingyi whispered: "Second Prince...didn't you say that you were going to dig a dam on the Yellow River and flood Kaifeng Mansion? Maybe Zhao Ji jumped over the wall and committed suicide himself!"
Shi Liai added: "Second Prince, the flag of Li Gang who led the troops to fight against us at Wannian Xindi also has the words 'personal expedition camp'... It seems that Li Gang is not the commander, the real command The more than 200,000 Song troops fighting with us should be the officials of the Song Dynasty who were personally conquered by the emperor!
Second Prince, you killed the official family of the Song Dynasty in this battle. Your contribution now is unparalleled! "
There was no trace of joy on Wanyan Zongwang's face, but he quickly whipped his horse and ran to the side of Zhao Ji's body. Gao Qingyi and Shi Liai followed on horseback and passed together.
Both of them had worked as "peace envoys" with Cai Songnian. They went to Kaifeng City to see Zhao Ji. Now they saw the corpse on the ground and Tong Guan, who was lying next to Zhao Ji with tears streaming down his face. He was still crying like a man in tears. Su Wang Zhao Shu already knew that it was the real Zhao Ji who died.
Both of them nodded to Wanyan Zongwang with happy faces.
"It's Zhao Ji! You can't be wrong!"
"Zhao Ji is dead, and the Song Dynasty is coming to an end!"
Wanyan Zongwang's face was solemn, "It's not like... there is still Prince Zhao Huan!"
Yes, there is also Prince Zhao Huan!
But this Zhao Ji seems to be much braver than the one in the legend! Wanyan Zongwang thought to himself: Then Zhao Huan wouldn't be a mad prince like his father and brothers, right?
"Second Prince," Gao Qingyi said with a smile, "all the Song army was abandoned outside Kaifeng Mansion, and even their emperor was killed... Kaifeng Mansion should have been an empty city, if Zhao Huan is still there , maybe he will be captured alive by the Fourth Prince and the Deputy Marshal!"
Capture Zhao Huan alive?
Didn’t that crazy king Zhao Kai immediately become an official?
"No! We cannot live without Zhao Huan as our opponent!" Wanyan Zongwang said sternly, "Quick, quick, you two immediately take my silver medal arrows and go see the deputy marshal, the fourth prince and Ta Lan... ..Let them immediately withdraw their troops and station themselves at Chenqiaoyi!
By the way, take the old man with little beard (Tong Guan) and the pretty boy (Zhao Shu) who cried the saddest, and let them go to report the funeral of the Crown Prince of Song in Kaifeng City! "
...
When Zhao Ji became the "Song Zhuangzong" who guarded the country and the king died in Sheji, his personal expedition deputy envoy Yu Wenxuzhong was already under the guard of the pro-army and horse army deputy capital commander Fan Ne, and the guard of the pro-army and infantry capital Yuhou Under the protection of some of the Kaifeng Forbidden Army led by Fan Qiong, they fled back to Kaifeng Fucheng in embarrassment.
Although the Song army was defeated miserably in the battle of Wannian Xindi, it did not end up being wiped out... because Wanyan Zongwang's Jin soldiers were already exhausted, and the loss of their horses was particularly serious. The army had less than 25,000 usable horses left.
Therefore, when the Song army collapsed, more than 15,000 of the 40,000 troops brought out by Wanyan Zongwang and others to pursue them had no horses. Even the golden soldiers equipped with horses are reluctant to ride them...it is too difficult to replenish war horses! You have to ride sparingly!
The Jin soldiers who were unwilling to waste their horsepower or had no horses to ride would not be very effective in pursuit - otherwise Liu Yanqing would not be able to "lead the way" to kill Song Zhuangzong! Wanyan Zongwang had long since chased him down and killed him.
On the other hand, the Song Army used all their energy when running away... "The flood is coming", can they not run faster? If he ran too slowly, he would be drowned.
The people running to Kaifeng Prefecture are all "Bianliangzi". Kaifeng Prefecture is about to be flooded, and there are still their dearest relatives and friends in the city!
Can't it be faster? If you run faster, you might be able to arrive before the water of the Yellow River...
So Yu Wenxuzhong followed them, and on the morning of April 26th, they entered the city of Kaifeng, which had long been in chaos.
The reason why Kaifeng City fell into chaos was because some cavalry members belonging to the Kaifeng Forbidden Army had returned earlier than Yu Wenxu and others, and they also brought news of the defeat of Wannian Xindi.
Well-informed people in Kaifeng Prefecture all know that the Battle of Wannian Xindi was fought to prevent the Jin soldiers from digging into the Yellow River!
Now that the Battle of Ten Thousand Years New Embankment has been defeated, the Yellow River Dam must be dug. If the Yellow River overflows, will Kaifeng Prefecture be flooded? There are many water gates opened on the city wall of Kaifeng Fucheng. When the flood comes, it can be seen that water leaks! By then, even if the city wall does not collapse, the city will become a vast ocean!
Therefore, people who have somewhere to go in Kaifeng Prefecture are either packing up their belongings and preparing to run away, or they are already on the way.
Except for the city gate and water gate that open to the north, the rest of the city gates and water gates were all crowded. People driving carts, pushing human-powered wheelbarrows, and luxurious families riding various boats were all vying to get there. After fleeing, the city gates and water gates on the east, south, and west sides of Kaifeng Mansion were all crowded together and turned into a mess!
People who couldn't escape were busy reinforcing their homes and moving valuable utensils and food rations to the roofs!
Zhao Huan, who stayed behind in Kaifeng Mansion, got on a dragon boat moored on the artificial lake in Genyue. When Yu Wenxuzhong and Fan Ne, Fan Qiong and others came to see him on the boat, the boat was ready to weigh anchor and set off.
It turned out that Zhao Huan, who had learned about the defeat of Sanshan Floating Bridge, was already planning to run away to Yingtian Mansion in Nanjing to join his son!
When he saw Yu Wenxuzhong and others boarding the boat, Zhao Huan's first words were: "Where is my father? Why didn't he escape with you?"
...
Asking for a recommendation vote!
