Before Emperor Shenzong came to the throne, he was named King Ying by Emperor Yingzong. The word "Ying" in King Ying refers to Yingzhou.
Later, in the sixth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Huizong promoted Yingzhou to one level as usual and changed its name to Shunchang Mansion because Yingzhou was the late residence of his father.
Later, when the Jin came, they still called it Yingzhou.
Last June, Liu Qi defeated the Jin army here. To this day, you can still see mottled bloodstains and numerous knife marks on the city wall.
Wanyan Wushu arrived here last year and promised to seize the city in one day.
As a result, he was driven back to Kaifeng Mansion in despair, and was almost driven north by Yue Fei.
If it weren't for the powerful power of the fourth prince, who killed the lord of the court and a group of Jin ministers before going south last time, and now that the Jin Kingdom has become his sway, I am afraid that the land of Song Dynasty will be returned to the Song people because of this battle.
Even so, the pressure on Wanyan Wushu is also very high.
Everyone understands that the Jin Kingdom is not the Jin Kingdom of the past, and the Southern Dynasty is not the Southern Dynasty of the past.
Although he was bent on seeking war, he had to bow to the situation and temporarily accepted the peace negotiation proposal with the Song Dynasty.
The peace agreement between the two countries was reached. Although Zhang Tonggu died, it was not something unacceptable.
The emperor of the Southern Dynasties needs to establish his authority, just let him establish it.
It will be the same after a few years of repairs and then asking him to get the money back with interest.
In this way, Wanyan Wushu went north from Kaifeng to Zhending Mansion. Before he left Yanyun, news came one after another that Qin Hui had died and he was told to be careful and that the Song people had betrayed their alliance.
At that time, he followed Wanyan Aguda and several of his brothers to conquer the country, and there was no rival in the world.
Wanyan Wushu is completely different from those descendants of the Jin Kingdom who are greedy for pleasure. He knows that there are some things in this world that cannot be discussed through talk.
But he never expected that the cowardly emperor of the Zhao family would change his normal behavior, not even giving up his reputation, and act so quickly.
But precisely because of this, the voices seeking peace were silenced.
Without even asking his own emperor's opinion, Jin Wushu led his troops back to Kaifeng.
When people from the Song Dynasty came to the north, they came as soon as they came. He was pent-up and had nowhere to vent his anger.
Although he received the news in advance that he needed to be on guard, he actually didn't take it too seriously. He just gave the instructions and the various state governments also put on a posture.
Now that the two Huai and several states were lost, he sent three kings and 50,000 horses to Yingzhou.
As for him, he continued to sit in Kaifeng, waiting for Yue Fei to come to him.
Last time, I rushed into the battle and was caught off guard.
Now that he was fully prepared, he really didn't believe that the Jurchens who were sweeping the world would lose to the Southerners.
As for the words that the Emperor of Song State personally led the troops, I knew it was false as soon as I heard it.
If that person had such courage, why would he stay in a corner in the south now?
Could it be that he didn't want to do it before?
It’s just that I don’t have the courage or the ability.
So until now, the Jin Kingdom's attention in the Central Plains is still only on Yue Fei... If there is anyone else, it is Liu Qi.
For the rest, even Han Shizhong, as long as he doesn't have a water fight with him, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom is not afraid.
Speaking of Yingzhou, King Longhu Wanyan Tuhesu and King Gaitian Wanyan Saili saw with their own eyes how Yue Fei and his generals killed people last time in Yancheng. The famous general of the Jin Army who got up in the middle can't help but feel a little frightened when he recalls it now.
Anyway, it was difficult to defeat the Yue Family Army. This time Wanyan Wushu specially sent them to Yingzhou... They also didn't believe that there could be a second person like Yue Fei in the Song Kingdom.
If that's the case, just shoot a bird and go back to catch fish.
The other one... is slightly worse than these two.
These two people were just frightened by Yue Fei. This person, Han Chang, the king of the country, was the ruler of all households. There were no more than three Han people who could occupy his position in the Jin Kingdom.
He was there during Yancheng, and he was also there during Tuogao. Even before the Jin army was about to win its only victory over Zhang Jun during this southern invasion, he also lost to Han Shizhong in Haozhou. .
All the wars he participated in were lost.
But now, Wanyan Wushu still sent him to Yingzhou, which shows how much he values this person.
Of course, he values him, and Tuhesu and Saili don't think highly of him because they don't think highly of him.
Who calls him a Han?
Even though he is the deputy marshal now and the two of them have to be controlled by him, the contempt from the heart still exists after all.
At this time, it was such a scene. Han Chang did not have the style of a general of an army at all. When he talked to the two of them, they seemed to be indifferent.
Not to mention the sudden speed, Wanyan was the first fierce general in the row from Lou's house. When he was in battle, he would lead his cavalry into the battle, behead the generals and hold the flag. When he followed Wanyan Zonghan to attack Taiyuan, he shocked the entire Song Dynasty by killing the masters in Xiongling. Yes, this is it.
Even Saili, although he was the Prime Minister of the Right, was still a person who achieved great achievements from the corpses of countless Liao people.
It's normal for them to look down on Han Chang.
Han Chang had been in the Kingdom of Jin for many years, and he had become somewhat resigned to these things, but he didn't care too much. At this time, the three kings stood at the top of the city, looking at the Yingzhou City together.
"According to the previous arrangements of the Southern Dynasty, the person running Xinyang and Guangzhou this time will undoubtedly be Uncle Liu Xin."
This man’s reputation is known to everyone in the Kingdom of Jin. Saili smiled and said:
"That's it, we don't need to worry too much... The fourth prince asked me to wait for the opportunity this time. With three of us and fifty thousand troops, can't we still defend this city?"
What he said is indeed true. After the last series of defeats, the main force of the Jin Kingdom only had 90,000 people left.
Ninety thousand people are definitely not enough to fight on three fronts.
Fortunately, the Han people are the largest in the world, and there are also many Liao people, as well as various tribes captured from the grasslands...
Although these people are not durable, their numbers are not much different.
And among these 50,000 people, 30,000 are serious Jurchens. Wanyan Wushu is so willing. Firstly, the identity of the three of them is there. Secondly, it also shows that Yingzhou must not make any mistakes.
Thirdly, as Liu Bang thought, they not only wanted to defend the city, but also cut off people's retreat when the time came.
Tu Hesu looked at the sparse crowd below: "Last time, the southern bandit was guarding the city, and now we are guarding the city. This time is different from the past. Even if he comes again, I will definitely take his head and give it to the fourth prince. "
"Speaking of which..." Han Chang said with a smile on his face: "Why did your Majesty kidnap those people today? After all, Yingzhou is governed by our dynasty, and they are also ours..."
Before he finished speaking, Tu Hesu interrupted him: "The marshal also knows that the fourth prince was defeated here last time, and the biggest accomplices were these unruly people from the Southern Dynasty!"
"Now that the two countries are at war, if we don't arrest them, what will we do if they collude with the Song people and make us cooperate internally and externally?"
Han Chang was interrupted, paused, and then said again:
"I have also considered this matter. The people of Yingzhou hate Uncle Liu Xin deeply. They all hate him for breaking his oath and want to eat his flesh alive."
"Why don't we accept them and use them, just like Uncle Liu Xin used them in the past, so that they can work for me, Daijin."
"Hey..." Saili waved his hand, "These southerners are useless, how can they help us?"
"Marshal, don't worry about these trivial matters. It's better to focus on running the army. After all, we all have to obey your orders."
"Besides, when I patrolled the city today, I clearly saw the temple they built for Uncle Liu Xin. These people, instead of thinking about the good things about me, are still thinking about Uncle Liu Xin... If the marshal feels that he is short of manpower, I will Write a letter to the fourth prince and ask him to send more people, and there is no need to settle with these people."
None of them let go. Han Chang sighed softly in his heart and said:
"The temple was only half built, and the people of Yingzhou did not offer any sacrifices. On the contrary, they even spat when they passed by, and so on..."
"Marshal!" Tu Hesu looked directly into his eyes, "You are now General Dajin. Don't think too much about other things, lest you cause yourself some trouble."
These words obviously contained some threats, and Han Chang was not a vegetarian. He and Tu Hesu looked at each other, both of them seemed to want to bite each other.
Seeing that the situation was a little awkward, Saili was a wise general after all, so he hurriedly came out to smooth things over:
"Don't be upset, Marshal, and don't be angry, Your Majesty. The three of us are all dedicated to serving the country, and we must not create any rift over this."
After saying that, he lowered his head and said: "In this way, we will keep them in custody for now. When we leave Yingzhou in the future, it will be the same if the king lets them go."
"snort!"
Tu Hesu snorted coldly, turned around and left without saying whether he would answer or not.
Selila couldn't hold him back and said to Han Chang again:
"You also know that he has such a temper."
Han Chang didn't say anything, he just watched Tu He quickly walk down the tower, and the people below took cover one after another.
Like a frightened cat, scurrying around.
