Wanyan Zongbi is dead!
This is what Wanyan Xiebao, the crow-mouthed man, is saying... Wanyan Zongbi's army is still more than ten miles away from Yanghe Village, and his army has also launched a large square formation to confront Zhao Kai.
It will take time to gather the team, and it will also take time to walk these more than ten miles under the pursuit and interception of the Song army. It will be a good thing to reach Yanghe Village by tomorrow morning.
By that time, Zhao Kai and Yue Fei had already joined forces on the east bank of the Yanghe River. An army of 200,000 had surrounded the Yanghe Village. What else could Wanyan Zongbi do? It’s just a question of how long we can last in Yanghe Village... If we can last for a month, we will be blessed by immortality!
Because Wanyan Zongbi's troops only carried ten days' worth of military rations, they would only be able to survive for fifteen days if they saved some food. Even if they killed horses for food, they would only be able to survive for a month at most.
Thinking that Wanyan Zongbi only had one month left to live, Wanyan Xiebao was still a little sad. However, he knew that he still had an unfinished mission, so he said to himself in his heart, "Sorrows and surrender," and called Liu E, the chief secretary of the palace, to his side.
Wanyan Xiebao asked his Han chief to rush to see Wanyan Zongbi immediately. Together with the news that Wanyan Qi was defeated at Yuguan, the southern general Yue Fei's 100,000 troops were about to march south to the east of Yanghe Village, and Wanyan Xiebao's decision to march eastward to the east of the Yu River to join forces with Wanyan Zongqian. Tell Zong Bi!
Also let Wanyan Zongbi
After seeing off Liu E, Wanyan Xiabao ordered Wanyan Huonu, who had just returned from Wanyan Zongbi's army, to lead the elite troops from Wanhu on the left side of Beijing Road to open the way. He led the men and horses from Wanhuo on the right side of Beijing Road to cut off the rear and march towards the enemy all night long. Entering the Chongqing River to the east.
Liu E was the third son of Liu Yanzong. After his father died, he and his brother Liu Xiao joined Zong Han and Zong Qian respectively, which was a hedging of their bets. However, because the Nanjing Road Han'er Army under Liu Yanzong returned to Liu Xiao, all Liu E just airdropped to Zong Han's command, so they were not taken seriously. In the past few years, he worked as a magistrate on Jingdong Road and Ziqing Town. It wasn't until Wanyan Zonghan evacuated from Jingdong (Shandong) Road and was transferred to stay in Beijing that he was sent to Wanyan Xiebao as a chief clerk.
However, Wanyan Xiebao obviously didn't like this traitor chief, and always regarded him as a decoration. This time, he even sent him to Wanyan Zongbi.
This means that he and his brother Liu Xiao will be loyal to the Kingdom of Jin together!
Although he was not willing to be a loyal hero of the Jin Dynasty, Liu E did not dare to disobey the order of Xie Bao, the crow-mouthed king, so he had to bite the bullet and go on the road.
He took about a dozen followers from the Wanping Liu family, and it took him about an hour to arrive at Wanyan Zongbi's army, which was more than ten miles away, and saw Wanyan Zongbi who had been dodging shells all afternoon.
Wanyan Zongbi's troops have been targeted by the Song Army's artillery since this morning!
In addition to being bombarded, the Song Army also launched six grenadier attacks!
The scale of each grenadier attack was not large, with only two generals participating. After the long artillery bombardment, about 4,000 infantrymen would push the carts and carry mines to attack Wan Yan Zongbi's position.
While the infantry is attacking, there will be a 5-pound artillery team pulling the cannon and pressing up with the infantry - if the grenadier attack suffers a heavy setback, the 5-pound cannon will go up and spray cannonballs!
In fact, Wanyan Zongbi also had a trump card that could deal with grenadiers and a small number of 5-pound cannons, which was the 500 camel tubes!
However, Wanyan Zongbi was also a ruthless man. He would rather send his Han'er Army, Khitan Army, and Bohai Heavy Armor Soldiers to attack the Song Army in waves, and use bows and arrows and heavy but not very powerful bombs to fight back against the Song Army. , and did not send a camel bag up.
Because Wanyan Zongbi knew that these 500 camel tubes could not compete with the Song Army's large tubes, and could only catch the opponent by surprise... Therefore, these camel tubes must be reserved for the most critical moment. In order not to put Zhao Kai on guard, but also to avoid using it too early and destroying the Song Army's artillery group!
Because he still had a life-saving ace in his hand, Wanyan Zongbi listened to Liu E in his "Chinese Army Pit" (in order to avoid artillery fire, he had people dig a big pit for himself, and then he sat in the pit and commanded the army). Report, although his face was gloomy and almost dripping with tears, he still restrained himself from having an attack.
Moreover, he is now in need of an unlucky person who can run errands for him. Liu E looks like he is unlucky, and he is just in luck.
Wanyan Zongbi looked at the dejected Liu E, tried his best to smile, and said warmly: "Liu E, how about you go to the southern camp for the lonely king?"
"Let's go to the southern camp? Your Majesty means..." Liu E looked even more frustrated, with a look of horror on his face.
"Go to see Zhao Kai," Wanyan Zongbi said, "and tell him that the lonely king wants to make peace with him!"
"Make peace..." Liu Exin said: Wasn't my father the one who went to make peace with him back then? What's the result? Shot to death by that mad king! Now you actually send me...
"What?" Wanyan Zongbi saw Liu E's expression of embarrassment and knew that he was unwilling, so he turned his attention to Liu E's brother Liu Xiao.
"Third brother, just go if the king tells you to go!" Liu Xiao said to his brother with a serious face, "If the two countries are at war, they will not behead the envoy... When Zhao Kai was crazy, he didn't kill him either. Do you want to use it? What are you afraid of?"
Liu E was speechless. It was Guo Tiannu who was sent to Daming Mansion to ask for money! Zhao Kai was greedy for her body, so he didn't kill her with one knife. How can I, a great man, compare with Guo Tiannu?
Wanyan Zongbi saw Liu E still looking very reluctant, with murderous intent already showing on his face.
When Liu E saw Wanyan Zongbi looking like he was going to kill someone, he immediately gave in. He had no choice but to agree: "How dare I disobey the king's decree..."
Wanyan Zongbi nodded with a smile and said, "Go and tell Zhao Kai that the Solitary King will talk to him in front of the formation tomorrow morning... just in front of Yanghe Village!"
"In Yanghe Village? Does the king want to retreat to Yanghe Village?" Liu E asked.
Wanyan Zongbi nodded, "Now that the matter has come to this, where else can the lonely king retreat?"
Liu E asked again: "I wonder what the king wants to talk to Zhao Kai?"
"Of course it's peace talks!" Wanyan Zongbi thought for a moment and said, "Now that I, Dajin, have returned all the Han lands of Yanyun and Sixteen Prefectures to the Song Dynasty... Zhao Kai is still not satisfied with anything. ? Does he still want to go to the north of the Great Wall and seize the home of our Jurchens? Even if he has this intention, he should kill Zhao Huan and Zhao Gou first, right? Before that, doesn’t he want to make peace with our Kingdom of Jin? ?”
"I must have thought about it!" Liu Xiao immediately agreed, "The path Zhao Kai is taking now is the path that Zhou Chai Rong followed back then, first north and then south. After regaining the sixteen states of Yanyun, it is time to go south."
Wanyan Zongbi said with a smile: "If he doesn't want our country of Jin to invade the invaders every year and harass the land of Yanyun, what's wrong with the two families making peace and forming a kingdom of brothers?
Liu E, tell Zhao Kai what Gu Wang means! If he refuses, let's have a fight to the death in Yanghe Village tomorrow! "
...
"Where will Wanyan Zongbi run to?"
"Yanghe Village! After entering Yanghe Village, you may go straight east to the Yu River, or you may go north through Tu'er Mountain and Laohu Mountain, and then go to Yanshan... But the next step is definitely It's Yanghe Village! Officials, if we want to kill Wanyan Zongbi's army, we have to encircle Yanghe Village."
"Encirclement... How is Yue Fei now? When can he go south to Yanghe Village?"
"Guan family, Yue Fei has just captured Yuguan and is now gathering his troops...it will take at least another hour or two before he can go south."
Inside Zhao Kai's Chinese army tent, military discussions were taking place at this time.
Just now, Zhao Kai had received the good news that Yue Fei had captured Yuguan!
Yuguan is a crucial point in the current battle situation. Once Yuguan is captured, the Jin Army will be passive across the board, and the Jin Army's cluster on the west bank of the Yanghe River is already likely to be surrounded.
This is a big piece of meat!
Once the cluster on the west bank of the Yanghe River is annihilated or most of it is annihilated, the Jin soldiers can only withdraw from Shanhaikou in despair.
Moreover, the loss of more than 100,000 people is enough for the Kingdom of Jin to continue to inflict wounds in the northern part of the Great Wall for many years to come... Maybe it will go back to the east to conquer Goryeo to replenish its blood, but it will definitely not dare to invade the Central Plains further south. .
After blocking the Jin soldiers outside the pass, Zhao Kai had the remaining strength to go south to deal with Zhao Gou and Zhao Huan, and dominate the world!
After the world is unified, are you still afraid that you won't be able to deal with the Jurchens outside the customs?
While the military meeting was going on, Dong Luohan quickly walked into the tent, raised his hands to Zhao Kai and said, "Official, Wanyan Zongbi's military envoy Liu E wants to see you."
Before Zhao Kai could speak, Guo Tiannu on the side was startled: "Liu E?"
"Who did Liu E say?" Zhao Kai looked at Guo Tiannu.
"Guan Jia, he is the son of Liu Yanzong who was shot to death by your arrow." Guo Tiannu said with a smile, "I didn't expect him to dare to come."
"Oh..." Zhao Kai said with a smile, "He is still the son of an old friend! Then call him in and listen to what he has to say?"
Dong Luohan received the emperor's order and turned to leave. After a while, a middle-aged man who looked very worried came in.
"Official, this person is Liu E, the son of Liu Yanzong, the former chief of the Nanjing Road Han'er Army." Dong Luohan said to Liu E in a deep voice, "When you see the emperor, why don't you bow down and salute?"
Zhao Kai is Liu E’s father-killing enemy!
However, Liu E still had to bow down obediently, "Foreign minister Liu E has met the official family of the Song Dynasty."
Zhao Kai smiled and said: "There is no need to be polite... The two countries are at war now. You are the envoy of the enemy country. Don't say any polite words. If you have anything to say, just say it."
Liu E secretly glanced at Zhao Kai. The light inside the tent was dim, but he could barely see Zhao Kai's appearance clearly - the man on the high seat looked to be in his thirties, with a beard. With a fierce look on his face and murderous intent in his eyes, he looks like a devil who kills without blinking an eye!
"Guan family, I, His Highness Prince Ning, the envoy of Dajin Pinglu Festival, would like to talk to you face to face in front of Yangmazhai tomorrow to discuss peace negotiations between the two countries..."
"What? Make peace?" Zhao Kai laughed after hearing this, nodded and said, "Okay, you go back and tell Wanyan Wushu that we will meet in front of Yangmazhai tomorrow!"
