Nianhan himself probably never dreamed that he would die in Luoyang City.
The moment Zhao Ding and Zhao Bocong saw Nianhan committing suicide, they both let out a sigh of relief at the same time. Especially Zhao Ding felt that his legs were almost numb.
Now that Zhao Ding finally breathed a sigh of relief, he secretly supported Zhao Bocong with one hand.
And Zhao Bocong also hurriedly cooperated to prevent him from falling.
"You kid, don't dare be so bold next time!"
"Don't worry, Mr. Ding, I will never dare to do this again in my life..." At this time, Zhao Bocong could only have a wry smile on his face.
The commander of the battlefield became quiet, the Jin people had been killed, Liu Xi was careless and died on the battlefield, and Zhao Bocong reported this matter to Zhao Chen.
As the crown prince of the Song Dynasty, he also expressed his deep sorrow. At the same time, he gave posthumous gifts to the young master and the military governor of Qingyuan Army. His children were admitted to official schools and were supported by the court.
And all this matter, the battle report, and Nianhan's head were sent to the front and handed over to his father Zhao Huan.
In addition, because Liu Xi died in the battle, Zhang Yong had no choice but to take over the Luoyang city defense and be transferred to the garrison general, which could be regarded as a complete end to this chaos.
At the same time, word spread throughout Luoyang that the prince's companion, Zhao Bocong, had "suddenly died" in his residence. For a time, his residence was closed and no one was allowed to enter or leave.
As the crown prince's companion, Zhao Bocong had no wives, concubines or children at home, only an old servant by his side. Now after Zhao Bocong's "sudden death", the old soldier was also taken away directly by the Imperial City Secretary and disappeared.
At the same time, an iron-faced man named "Wu Yanshi" came into the view of the people in the court and became the third commander of the Imperial City Division after Tong Guan and Zhang Ren.
And he also has a very "luxurious" resume.
He was only forty-five years old. He took root in the Jin Kingdom, provoked Xixia, inquired about the Mongolian enemy, and even had cholera forces in the Western Liao Dynasty.
After many unidentified courtiers saw this battle report, they were all shocked, but some also sneered.
For example, the six ministers and the left and right officials of the Metropolitan Procuratorate all snorted, and even Li Guang started to mock him outright.
"I have never noticed that this kid has such a habit of boasting nonsense before. If there is a chance in the future, I will definitely impeach him!"
For this kind of thing, everyone just laughs it off, and just knows some things well. How many of the important ministers in the court are truly honest?
The Wuyan clan did two things after inheriting the leadership of the Imperial City Division.
First, Qin Hui died suddenly in the secret prison of the Imperial City Division. For this reason, the Wuyan family liquidated the Imperial City Division and secretly spied on hundreds of officials and generals.
Among them were Lin Yifei, the guard of the East City Gate who had been captured before, and his nominal brothers Lin Yiming and Lin Yi'e.
Of course, the three of them would not appear as Qin Hui's "relatives", but... secret agents of the Imperial City Department.
As for Qin Hui's death, it was eventually settled amid this purge.
The second thing Wu Yan did was to pry away the Song Dynasty Relationship Diagram that Queen Zhang Xianmingsu had placed on the wall of her bedroom.
He also tore down the walls.
In the last years of Zhenzong's reign, party strife in the Song Dynasty was extremely serious, and the chaos in the court was unimaginable.
After the death of Zhenzong, Queen Mother Liu E went out to listen to politics behind the curtain. She first increased her favor to court officials, greatly expanded their favor system, and allowed them to receive more benefits.
This, of course, caused great pressure on redundant officials in later generations.
But similarly, Liu E also used this incident to ask the ministers to submit the names of relatives and confidants one by one, and then she drew the map herself, and only made the family tree of the officials of the Song Dynasty.
Every time there is a request for promotion or reward, this picture must be compared to prevent individual cliques in the court from gaining too much power. It must be ensured that there are no more than two people from the same family in the yamen before it can be formed.
Under this circumstance, the successive emperors of the Song Dynasty also added to and subtracted from it over the years, and gradually the front wall was covered.
Now it was a bit difficult for Zhao Chen to do these things, but Wu Yan just pried away the wall. From today on, he will be responsible for these things.
And this is what an Imperial City Commander should do!
The city of Luoyang has slowly stabilized, but the battlefield in another area has also entered a raging stage.
Yue Fei, who was speeding towards Luoyang, saw the scouts preparing to go to the Hetao. Looking at the head of his old rival Nianhan, he felt a little unreal in his heart.
"Brother..." Wang Gui on the side called softly, calling Yue Fei back from his thoughts, "That Nianhan was finally killed in Luoyang City. Brother, do you feel something is wrong?"
"No, I just feel a little surprised and a little emotional." Yue Fei shook his head gently, "Nianhan is really a famous general in the world, from pretending to be seriously ill at the beginning to hiding Chaoge later.
Then he asked Gao Qingyi to pretend that he was going to sneak attack Yecheng, fight to the death, and attract the main force of Jizhou soldiers and horses. All of this made me admire him very much.
Even now, I... can only be said to have taken advantage of heaven..."
"Brother, why are you doing this? Even though Nianhan is cunning, can't you tell at a glance that Nianhan's attack on Yecheng is a lie and his attack on Luoyang is real?"
Wang Gui's comfort was only replaced by a sigh from Yue Fei, but in the end he didn't say anything more.
I just gave the messenger a few fast horses to rotate, so that the officials could know about the matter as quickly as possible.
After that, he led the army to turn around and rush towards Yecheng.
"Brother, don't you go to see His Highness?"
"We are generals at the front, why do we need to go back to Luoyang to see His Highness?"
After saying that, the army accelerated again, changed direction as quickly as possible, rearranged their formation and headed towards Geye City.
A few days later, Yue Fei, who was galloping all the way, finally crossed the river that was still slightly blood-red and entered the land of Yecheng.
As they advanced, the screams and angry shouts under Yecheng became more and more clear. After Wang Gui heard these movements, he couldn't help but laugh.
"This Gao Qingyi is quite talented. To be honest, a certain family really admires him now!"
Although Gao Qingyi sounds like a Han, if you really want to tell it, he is from the Bohai Gao family. He was a surrendered minister of the Liao Dynasty. Because he was proficient in Chinese and Jurchen language, he worked as a general in the Nianhan army.
Later, he also made many achievements in the Jin Kingdom. He was canonized to Liu Yu, Du Chong and even Zhao Ji. He changed the official system and was promoted to Shangshu Zuocheng. From then on, he became one of the top officials of the Jin Kingdom.
It can be regarded as quite a position in the court.
Wanyan Zongpan wanted to clean up the court, but Nianhan and Zong Wang directly took advantage of him and completely drove him out of the court. He became a useless person and was imprisoned and even poisoned.
He is now considered a thorough civil servant, and he only does some scribe's work in Nianhan's army.
But because of this, no one thought that this guy who had been a scribe for almost his whole life would lead the battle in place of Nianhan, and he did a pretty good job.
When attacking Yecheng, Yecheng was under great pressure from the beginning. If Yao Pingzhong hadn't been prepared, it would be too much to say that Gao Qingyi succeeded in a sneak attack this time.
But it’s okay to suffer some losses anyway.
However, Yao Pingzhong was already in a stalemate with the opponent. There was no way to let the Jin soldiers and horses attack continuously. They could only attack the city wall of Yecheng again and again, and then Yao Pingzhong was wearing down their morale.
As the battle continued, problems gradually appeared in the attack. Yao Pingzhong was no longer satisfied with waiting and defending, but directly chose to rush out in the middle of the night, killing the enemy and breaking through the enemy camp again and again.
Under such a charge, Gao Qingyi had become a reluctant support, but he still did not stop and continued to use everything in his hands to restore their morale.
But this Ye City, they knew in their hearts that it was unbreakable.
He opened the secret letter Nianhan left for him, and looked at the three characters "Breaking the Way Back" on it. Gao Qingyi remained silent.
From that day on, there was carnage.
Crazy massacres, leaving no chickens or dogs behind, and even went out everywhere to kill the people of the Song Dynasty.
In this crazy massacre, these Jin people were also led to a dead end by Gao Qingyi. Even if some people understood it, there was no chance under the general trend.
There is no room for relaxation between the two sides. Both sides will not leave any hope to the other side on the killing battlefield.
Some are just massacres, crazy massacres.
After Yue Fei and Wang Gui summarized the information, anger appeared in their eyes.
"This Nianhan is really..." Wang Gui snorted coldly, but didn't know what to say.
"This is Nianhan using his last resort to deliver a message to Wanyan Dan, and using his last resort to extend the life of the Jin Kingdom." Yue Fei snorted coldly. Of course he understood what he wanted to do.
"Nianhan used the method of massacring the people twice in a row to cut off the possibility of détente between the Jin people and the Song Dynasty, making the two sides become mortal enemies.
Once this situation occurs, the last 100,000 troops under Wanyan Zongwang's command will not be inferior to those old soldiers in this desperate situation, even if there are many young men recruited temporarily.
This is the last glimmer of hope, and the news inside will never be blocked.
After all, this is a massacre, and no one can stop this kind of news. This will make the Song Army feel unstable.
After the Jin people got the news, with the abilities of Wanyan Dan and Wanyan Zongwang, they would definitely understand Nianhan's purpose, and if they followed the trend, they would be able to fight in the final battle.
This guy...can't be underestimated at all! "
After Yue Fei finished speaking, he snorted coldly. Looking at the faint outline of Yecheng, he couldn't help but have an angry look on his face.
"First defeat Gao Qingyi under Yecheng and let him walk faster, so that we can catch up with the old thief Nianhan more easily!"
