News about the Jin people kept coming and going. The news about Zhao Huan entering Chang'an didn't need Brother Wanyan Yinshu to tell Wanyan Zongfu, he already knew about it.
Not only that, he also received very detailed battle reports and news.
Including Li Gang's resignation as prime minister and Qu Duan's revival, this has already been known to him.
But at this time, Wanyan Zongfu didn't have any worries.
"Zhao Ji, you are also the emperor of the Song Dynasty. What do you think of the current situation in Chang'an City?"
"Ah?" Not only the soldiers, horses and generals came with the army, but also the Taoist Emperor Zhao Ji who was sent to the Kingdom of Jin by Zhao Huan.
The reason why Wanyan Zongfu brought him along was because he felt that this old guy had been the emperor of the Song Dynasty for such a long time, and even now the little emperor of the Song Dynasty had a stable position.
But with Zhao Ji here, it still plays a lot of role in recruiting surrender and rebels.
In addition, this old guy has been the emperor for so many years, so he at least knows a lot about the Song Dynasty.
But the reality is often such a slap in the face. The people of the Jin Kingdom who are at their peak cannot imagine how stupid an emperor can be.
Just like now.
"This place in Shaanzhou is located in a dangerous place. Now we have occupied most of it, and there is also the unknown Li Yanxian..."
"What I just asked about is Chang'an!" Wanyan Zongfu looked at Zhao Ji's inconsistent answer and couldn't help but interrupt him.
It's just that Zhao Ji didn't know anything about Chang'an at this time, but he didn't dare to tell the truth, for fear that the Jin people would abandon him when they knew he was useless.
Just when he was in a dilemma, Nian Han, who was originally responsible for attacking the last stronghold in Shaanzhou, Li Yanxian of Sanbi Mountain, rushed back with a weathered look.
The first thing I said when I entered the big tent was.
"I heard that the Emperor of the Song Dynasty has arrived in Chang'an, and now I have planted suspicious troops to prevent Li Yanxian from making any rash moves.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, we gathered together to attack Chang'an! "
"Yes, yes, yes, we are attacking Chang'an. That kid, Zhao Huan, is not very capable. He always looks timid and cowardly. As long as my army comes to the city, I will definitely make him panic. Zhao Huan will open the door and surrender!"
Zhao Ji's words made Nianhan on the side frown and felt as sick as eating a bug.
Before Wanyan Zongfu took power again, he had always been the main general in the battle with the Song Dynasty. How could he not know what the Song army was capable of?
Before Zhao Huan came to power, he was unstoppable, but after he came to power, the Song Dynasty's style of play was completely different.
Although there were no longer hundreds of thousands or millions of troops like before, it was like this that made Nianhan aware of the difference between Zhao Huan and the previous emperors of the Song Dynasty.
If the previous emperor looked strong, this was more like a handful of sand.
With a little force and no need to attack, he was able to scatter himself, but Zhao Huan is different now. This little guy is very resilient.
So when he heard Zhao Ji's words, his face suddenly darkened. It was at this time that Wanyan Zongwang also saw that this was not a good thing, and he would talk nonsense without any ability.
"Okay, it has nothing to do with you here, please step back.
When Chang'an City is captured in the future, you can just go there and take charge! "
"Yes, yes, I obey!" Zhao Ji still had no dignity as an emperor at this time. After hearing the order, he ran out without saying a word.
There are many people accompanying the army in this camp who were also ministers of the Song Dynasty, and there are even Zhang Zhongyan and Li Yanqi, the generals of Jingyuan Road who surrendered in the Battle of Fuping.
When they saw Zhao Ji's appearance, they all felt an unspeakable feeling in their hearts.
However, Nianhan and Wanyan Zongwang didn't care what they thought, they gathered together and started talking about the war.
"Then Li Yanxian is really capable of fighting like this and can he stop you?"
"He's got some shitty skills!" After hearing this, Nianhan couldn't help but get furious, but he calmed down in a short time.
"Li Yanxian is not as difficult to deal with as you think, but he does have some tricks.
When Shaanzhou was invaded by Xixia before, he had already gathered the people on a large scale, moved the young and old to Tuhua Village, and selected elite troops to garrison in Sanxi Mountain, Shizhu Mountain, Datong Mountain and other places.
A solid defense line was built there.
At first, a certain family thought he was not a big deal, and after seeing the defense he had deployed, they thought it was quite satisfactory, so they looked down upon him.
As soon as we arrived at Sanxi Mountain, we immediately led the main force to attack Li Yanxian's defense line. We originally wanted to use the overwhelming momentum of our army to defeat them in one battle.
In the end, I didn't expect that Li Yanxian seemed to have arranged the barracks in a regular manner, but in fact he was actually quite skillful.
First, he showed weakness to our army under a strong attack, making a certain family despise him even more. Then he sent some elite soldiers to ambush, and then he directly pretended to be angered by us.
Like crazy, he fought head-on with our army. When the battle was in full swing, ambushes appeared everywhere and defeated a certain family.
In fact, this is not a great strategy. It's just that when we just won a big victory and our morale was high, we would inevitably feel a little bit... so we underestimated them.
But it was such a battle that Li Yanxian seized the opportunity and immediately promoted it, and even recruited a large number of grassroots bandits in Guanzhong Central Plains and other places.
It actually grew stronger for a while, and then the rebel army they formed divided into four groups and directly attacked our camp! "
Wanyan Zongwang was stunned when he heard this. Then with the help of his lieutenant, he found the battle report from the scouts. He felt unstoppable shock after just one glance.
"Then Li Yanxian told you that you had fifty camps in Nianhan..."
"Fart!" Nianhan couldn't help but cursed when he heard this. "In total, a certain family lost more than a thousand soldiers and 300 horses. Wherever he went, he destroyed more than 50 places in my camp."
"Then this is..."
"This guy knows how to brag, and he knows how to fool those grassroots refugees, but this time I really underestimated him and made him a lot stronger."
"Is there any trouble?"
"Hmph, he will continue to attack Shaanzhou even if he is fighting at this time, but if he dares to attack Shaanzhou, a certain family will dare to let him go and never come back!"
"So confident?"
"Li Yanxian is obsessed with Shaanzhou, but Shaanzhou is now isolated. As long as we defeat Chang'an, we will definitely make Shaanzhou an isolated city.
Don't think that this is nonsense. Now that Li Gang has resigned as prime minister, although Zhao Huan's son is surrounded by generals such as Liu Qi and Liu Xi.
He also brought Yao Pingzhong, Han Chang and others with him.
But in the final analysis, he relied on Qu Duan, but this person was narrow-minded, and he had a big grudge against Wang Shu, so he refused to give up easily.
After Li Yanxian offended Li Gang, Wang Shu was the mediator, and Li Yanxian also wanted to be attached to him. Liu Qi, Liu Xi and others also had a very good sense of Wang Shu.
As long as the problem of Qu Duan is grasped, then Li Yanxian is destined to become a lonely army.
The main battlefield of this war was not Shaanzhou and Fengxiang Mansion Monk Yuan, but Chang'an.
Completely defeat the Song Army from Tongguan! "
Wanyan Zongwang kept nodding his head as he listened to Nianhan's words.
"This is a great thing to say, and a certain family also means exactly this, but now that Zhao Huan'er is personally stationed in Chang'an, I don't know how many casualties there will be if we fight to the death.
I'll take action..."
"Don't worry!" Nian Han waved his hand, "We are waiting to fight to the death. He may look like a famous general, but in fact he is timid. Such people will naturally persuade Zhao Huan to evacuate when necessary.
And don’t forget, in Chang’an City, we still have..."
"Well...very good." After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang nodded firmly again and gave an order.
The army moved quickly towards Chang'an.
"Go back and report to Your Majesty!" When they were eighty miles away from Chang'an, they were discovered by Song Army scouts, and then headed towards Chang'an again with a roar.
When Zhao Huan received the news, he immediately summoned soldiers and horses, deployed them tightly, and waited for the arrival of the Jin people.
At the same time, he also asked the generals what they thought.
Not surprisingly, the first one to stand up was Qu Duan, who is now being reused by Zhao Huan.
"Reporting to Your Majesty, although the Jin people's morale has weakened a bit, they are still strong. We cannot fight with them. We can only maintain our retreat and guard Chang'an!"
"Just to protect Chang'an?"
"Chang'an can keep the rules. If it can't, it will retreat to Tongguan and Hangu. As long as it insists on guarding here, the Jin people will not be able to fight with us for a long time.
Wait until their logistics and equipment are insufficient, and until their troops and horses are exhausted, we will fight again and regain the lost ground! "
"What if their insistence only lasts a year or two?"
"I will wait as long as they hold on!"
"What about Monk Yuan and San Zangshan?"
"They have their own methods. Your Majesty should put the overall situation first. Only if we maintain our absolute strength can we have a chance to counterattack in the future!"
"Well..." Zhao Huan was noncommittal to the famous general's statement, "Step back."
"I will obey the order." Qu Duan didn't care whether Zhao Huan accepted his opinion or not, he just bowed and followed the order.
And Zhao Huan looked at the other people, and their attitudes were much more reliable.
"I am willing to go through fire and water for His Majesty, even to the death!"
After agreeing in unison, they directly told Zhao Huan that their attitude was actually the same as Qu Duan's.
It's just that compared to Tou Tie who doesn't know the twists and turns, these people know that there are some things that cannot be said.
For example, what Qu Duan said just now was like telling Zhao Huan directly that he would give up on the Wu brothers and Li Yanxian now.
If this word reaches Monk Yuan and Sanshu Shan, this matter will be really big.
Right or wrong... Qu Duan and them are fighting to the death, and if someone criticizes Qu Duan in the future, it will be easy for him to be ruined just because of this incident.
It has to be said that Quduan is a tough guy.
"Since all the generals have this idea, I will give the order today.
Vow to live and die with Chang'an!
Come, tell me my will!
Except for Zhao Kai, who is now stationed in Hebei, bring all the remaining members of my Zhao clan to Chang'an!
Whether it’s my brothers and sisters, uncles, nephews, nieces, or even my prince!
We have all been sent to Chang'an. I will take the entire Zhao family with me to fight to the death against that Jin man! "
As soon as Zhao Huan said these words, everyone present was stunned not to mention Qu Duan.
Only Zhang Yong on the side responded loudly with his head held high.
"The last general takes command!"
Yes, he came up with this plan.
