The fire that ignited in the west of Damingfu City not only blocked the Song army's offensive, but also made Wanyanyan difficult on the way home!
After receiving the order from her uncle Wanyan Xieye, she did not go straight to the Daming Palace. Instead, she went to her princess village... There were many gold and silver treasures there that she had to take away!
These days, Han officials always send gold and silver to Wanyan Yan, but she doesn't know about anti-corruption. As a young girl, she was too shy to refuse gifts from uncles. And those uncles didn't seem to have any evil intentions towards her, and they didn't make any demands (they just wanted to favor her, and it was worth it if they could say a nice word at the critical moment)... So she didn't refuse, Now I have saved a large amount of dowry, which is stored in my princess village.
Now she also sees that she has no hope of building a city in the Central Plains, so she has to take these treasures away... With these dowries, she can live a good life in her husband's family in the future!
According to Jurchen tradition, the status of women is very low and cannot be compared with the Khitan people who gave birth to a group of Queen Mother Xiao. Even the princess of the Wanyan family was bullied a lot after she got married.
Moreover, the throne of the Kingdom of Jin is not inherited by the son after the father dies. After her father Wu Qimai died, the emperor should also become the emperor. She originally wanted to give her clean body to Ahuli in exchange for his protection. Unexpectedly, this guy who was greedy for her body had the unlucky chance to meet Zhao Bupo and was shot!
Now she had no one to rely on, so she had no choice but to save more dowry while the old man was still around.
But when she led her guards down the Gujiaomen Gate Tower and walked north along the open Gujiaomen Inner Street, and walked outside Xuanze Gate in the inner city of Daming Mansion, the street outside Xuanze Gate had been burned to ashes. The people in the fire huddled together outside Xuanze Gate. Xuanze Gate had long been closed by Wang Bolong's soldiers, and the people outside the gate couldn't get through at all, so they had to slowly rush to the shore of Zhangshui - after crossing Zhangshui, they should not be burned.
Wanyanyan's Princess Village in Daming Mansion is on the north bank of Zhangshui River. It was originally built by Wang Su, Wang Dan's son, who once served as a bachelor of Duanming Palace and a minister of the Ministry of Industry. After two generations of Wang family descendants continued to build it, when it fell into the hands of Wanyanyan, it had become extremely luxurious. Of course she likes this house very much, but unfortunately the house is about to change owners, and Wanyanyan wants to go there to buy something, but she can't.
Because when she and her guards finally squeezed through the crowd, moved to the south bank of Zhangshui River, and were about to cross a wooden bridge to the north bank of Zhangshui River, it was already dark. And more than a dozen warships with strings of lanterns hanging on them were marching in the direction of Xiashui Pass under the darkness of night!
Wanyanyan recognized Chinese characters and her eyesight was good. From a distance, she saw Chinese characters written on a string of lanterns, which was "The Commander-in-Chief Zhao Bupo"!
Seeing these five words, her originally white face became even whiter. Because she knew that Zhao Bupo and Zhao Wudi had entered the city and were now heading to Xiashui Pass. There were very few defenders at Xiashui Pass and could not stop this "Zhao Invincible" at all.
Once Zhao Bupo captures Xiashui Pass, he can climb the city wall and then follow the wall to capture Beihe Gate... Once Beihe Gate is controlled by the Song Army, it will be difficult for Wanyan Yan to escape!
Before she could react from the shock, one of her personal guards had already approached her and said in a low voice: "Princess, look across the Zhang River!"
Wanyan Yan hurriedly looked up and saw a group of infantry soldiers marching with torches...
At this time, the people on the south bank of Zhangshui whose homes had been burned down by the fire also discovered that Master Wang had actually arrived in front of them!
Now the crowd was furious, and someone immediately started shouting.
"Master Wang is here! Look, it's Master Wang!"
"Master Wang is calling in!"
"The golden thief is about to finish..."
"Lieutenant Zhao, please don't leave, there are still dozens of gold thieves to kill here!"
"Shuai Zhao, come here quickly. There is a female gold thief here. She is quite beautiful. Come and catch her..."
When Wanyanyan was in Huining, she studied with Mr. Bohai who knew Chinese. Not only did she know Chinese characters, she could also speak Chinese, and of course she could understand some of it. When she heard someone complimenting her on her beauty, she felt happy, but when she heard that person calling Zhao Bupo to catch her, her face immediately darkened.
She is the princess of the Kingdom of Jin! How can I survive being captured by Zhao Bupo? She is so beautiful, she will definitely be humiliated if caught by Zhao Bupo!
And after being humiliated, he might even be beheaded!
Thinking of this, Wanyan Yan glared at the shouting common people, then pulled the reins, turned the horse's head, and said to the guards on the left and right: "Let's go to Xuanzemen quickly! From there! Enter Zicheng, then go to Gongcheng, and then leave through Kou's Gate after finishing your work!"
After hearing this, Wanyanyan's guard couldn't help but frown... Time was a bit tight! Can you make it?
What if it’s too late to leave? If the princess is captured, will she be humiliated? Will he be killed after the humiliation?
If the princess is killed, what will happen to her guards?
Thinking of this, the guard could only sigh deeply, then he raised his spear and shouted at the crowd who were shouting: "Whoever dares to block the road, get out of the way!"
Then he let out a strange scream and spurred his horse forward.
The people standing in front of him were immediately frightened - this was a gold thief, very vicious!
So they all moved away and made way for a passage.
Wanyan Yan glanced back, then galloped away on horseback.
At the same time, Guo Tiannu, who was on a large boat above the Zhang River, also discovered that something was going on on the south bank of the Zhang River.
"Commander, there seems to be a group of gold thieves' cavalry on the street on the south bank of Zhangshui!"
"Ignore it!" Zhao Kai, who was sitting in an armchair on the middle deck, closed his eyes and rested, only said four words.
He doesn't care at all how many gold thieves there are in Damingfu City now... what really worries him is the gold thieves outside the city!
Because he had just received news that Jin Wushu's troops were rushing to Daming Mansion with all their strength!
This shows that Jin Wushu has discovered that he has gone north to Daming Mansion... and Wu Qimai will definitely know what Jin Wushu discovered.
There are not many people in Jin Wushu's department, so there is nothing to worry about. But the Wu Begging Department is a big problem... Even if they suffer losses in Kaifeng Mansion, there are still 200,000 to 300,000 people!
Therefore, Zhao Kai now has to seize the outer perimeter of Daming Mansion as soon as possible, and then lay siege to the city while setting up defenses on the outer perimeter, preparing to meet Wu Qibi's army of gold thieves!
"Give me the order and speed up... Before dawn tomorrow, we must capture all the gates in the outer city of Daming Mansion!
In addition, give orders to Cao Li and Wu Jie that they must arrive at Damingfu City before dawn tomorrow! "
Cao Li and Wu Jie are leading Zhao Kai's main force. One hundred thousand cavalry are heading towards Damingfu City with their heads covered!
As long as they arrived, Zhao Kai won the Battle of Daming Mansion, no, he should have won the entire war!
The rise and fall of the Song Dynasty can be achieved in one fell swoop!
Thinking of this, Zhao Kai stood up and glanced at the blazing Xicheng area of Daming Mansion.
At this time, he also saw dozens of knights, holding torches, separating from the crowd and heading towards Zexuanmen in the night that was red by the fire.
…
Wanyanyan finally entered the palace city, the core of Daming Mansion, and it was not an easy journey.
She thought she would be able to enter the palace in half an hour at most, but she didn't expect that just to call Kaize Xuanmen, it took nearly an hour. By the time she entered the palace, it was already the early morning of September 23rd. .
The gatekeepers were traitor soldiers under Du Chong. They refused to open the door, saying they were afraid that Song troops would invade the city.
In the end, Wanyanyan showed her Wanhu gold medal, and they called Du Chong, who was already going crazy. Du Chong recognized Wanyanyan, but he only opened half of the city gate and let Wanyanyan and the others into the city.
After putting Wanyan Yan and others into Damingfu Sub-city, Du Chong pestered Wanyan Yan to inquire about Wanyan Xieye's whereabouts.
Wanyanyan had collected a lot of money from him in the past, but now she couldn't save her face, so she took him into the palace and planned to run away with him after finishing the work.
In the palace city, after arranging the virtual flag raising, when Wanyan Yan was about to explain to Du Chong that Wanyan Xie had also "transferred", cheers suddenly came from the north of the palace city.
"Zhao Wudi, Zhao Wudi, Zhao Wudi..."
When Wanyan Yan and Du Chong heard the cheers, their faces turned blue.
Du Chong said with a trembling voice: "Your Royal Highness, the southern soldiers may have entered the north gate of the city... Let's go see Banbo Jilie as soon as possible!"
He actually felt something was wrong!
Song Jun's progress is too fast! And there seemed to be a lot less Jurchens... Even the people guarding the city were Wang Bolong's people.
And that old boy Wang Bolong has been missing for a while! The army he left behind has long been out of control!
"I know that Banbo Jilie should have left..." Wanyanyan turned pale and said to Du Chong, "Ms. Du, you should run away quickly! I'll just lead my men to support you here in the palace city!"
She is quite loyal!
Du Chong was dumbfounded when he heard this, "Let's go? When?"
"Last night, I left as soon as it got dark!" Wanyanyan frowned and said, "I originally wanted to leave after taking care of the palace affairs, but I didn't expect to be delayed..."
Are you leaving too? Du Chongxin said: What about me? I came from Cangzhou to join Daikin! Are you going to ignore me like this?
Wanyanyan smiled bitterly and said: "But Mr. Du, don't worry too much... I have already asked people to raise a very strong flag, and I also set up many false flags. It should be able to scare Zhao Bupo for a while, so can you." Let’s go quickly!”
Du Chong sighed and was about to leave the palace when another noisy sound came from outside.
Now Wanyan Yan and Du Chong couldn't hold their anger anymore. They both left the main hall and wanted to go to the tower to find out. The two of them had just arrived at the foot of the palace wall when they heard someone shouting outside: "Listen to the gold thieves inside. You have been surrounded. Come out and surrender!"
