Chapter 118 Mountain Rain Is coming

This winter, the north is particularly cold, and the snow is also particularly heavy. Perhaps the sky no longer cares for the fat and weak Song Dynasty, creating such a convenient time for the female invading south.

Zhao Ji, the poet and painting emperor who had worked in art for a lifetime, took the initiative to be laid off. He fled to the south with his Aiji and Mobao, and threw the mess to the new king Zhao Huan.

History has not deviated too much from the original trajectory because of Chu Tianya's "born in the sky". When the new king Zhao Huan ascended the throne, he changed his name to Jingkang!

At this time, Wanyan Zongwang was already under Tokyo, a huge city with a population of one million, trapped to death by less than 100,000 soldiers and horses!

Previously, when Wanyan Zongwang hit the Yellow River, tens of thousands of Song soldiers guarding the Yellow River fled as birds and beasts under the leadership of their eunuch commanders. As a result, this natural danger was completely unguarded, and Wanyan Zongwang was able to cross the river easily. Without this team, Tokyo's troops seemed to be overstretched. But unfortunately, fortunately, Cai Jing and other stubborn and treacherous ministers of the capitulation faction also fled with Zhao Ji. After wiping his tears, the new king Zhao Huan found that he could not retreat, so he had to recruit ministers and generals and call on the people in the city to resist the golden soldiers together.

It turns out that the Song Dynasty is not without capable people, and the army is not unable to fight. The young Zhao Ji used Li Gang, a military minister who had not been exposed before, to command the defensive battle in Tokyo. As a result, Wanyan Zongwang didn't get any good fruit, and Tokyo saved it for a while.

At this time, the 100,000 main force of the Western Army stationed in Shaanxi in the Song Dynasty rushed to Tokyo to participate in the battle of Tokyo, and other people and horses rescued by various service kings also came over one after another. Wanyan Zongwang's lonely army went deep and besieged Tokyo with a small number of soldiers and horses. Wanyan Zonghan, who was originally going to meet with him in the city of Tokyo, I was tripped in Taiyuan again. Now, Wanyan Zongwang can also fall into a military desperate situation, and the current situation is developing in a direction that is extremely beneficial to the Song Dynasty.

But under such a good situation, the officials and generals of the Song Dynasty once again relapsed - the civil and military fought for power and profit, suppressed dissidents and fought with each other, completely forgetting the national disaster!

Here's the thing.

Li Gang was originally a scholar and civil official, and the official was not too small, but now he is in charge of all the military power in Tokyo. His former superiors had been unhappy for a long time, thinking about how to stumbling him, embarrassing him and driving him out of power day and night. The seed master who led the Western army to rescue him is a famous commander who has been guarding one side all year round, and he is also born in a general with a high reputation. How can he be on an equal footing with Li Gang?

As a result, great contradictions broke out between the stubborn surrender faction and the main war faction, and even within the main war faction. Where can Zhao Huan, the new king who has just ascended the throne, be suppressed? Originally, when it was very critical, everyone was able to abandon their personal thoughts and fight against the enemy together; now the situation has just improved a little, and these people under him have begun to fight intrigue again!

Zhao Huan was already very uncertain, otherwise how could he cry and refuse to ascend the throne? - The strong cavalry of the real maiden not only scared off the 100,000 Song soldiers stationed on the Yellow River, but also scared many people in the court of the Song Dynasty, including Zhao Huan. In addition, Zhao Song's officials have never believed in generals. They are always afraid that when the generals have high credit and military power, they will rebel with bad intentions. Now Zhao Huan has also committed an "occupational disease". Seeing that the two generals and Li Gang have fully mastered all the soldiers and horses in Tokyo, sleeping on the side of the couch, Zhao Huan wanted to take back the military power in the hands of these two people sooner or later.

He forgot that these two big tigers actually came to save his life and to help him resist the group of Liaodong hungry wolves outside Tokyo!

At this time, a very famous and ironic thing happened in history. Yao Pingzhong, a general of the Western Army, asked him to sneak up and rob the Jin Bing barracks before the war, but the military plan was leaked in advance, leading to a great defeat. Yao Pingzhong, who was once a fierce general in the Western Army and came from a general family, was afraid of being punished after going back. He rode a horse and donkey for a while and ran to the land of Sichuan in one breath before stopping and hiding in the deep mountains and old forests.

In history, there have been many legends about Yao Pingzhong, saying that he did not come out of the mountains until a few decades later, just like a Taoist immortal.

These are not stop, just talking about his ability to escape after defeat. I'm afraid no one can match it in the past and now. It can be said that it is simply an innovation.

After this defeat, Li Bangyan and some other main subjugation factions finally got the most powerful handle. "Help" Zhao Huan and dismissed the two military commanders who were meritorious in saving and effectively defending the city!

The military power was taken back, and Zhao Huan's heart was also at ease. Although he has been emperor for a few days, he has learned to be a masterful and skillful. Perhaps he understands that although this real woman's soldiers and horses are strong, it is unlikely that they want to beat Tokyo in one breath now. Therefore, it should be the most cost-effective and reasonable policy to send Wanyan Zongwang away, and then take the opportunity to consolidate his position as the new king!

So, Zhao Huan did not hesitate to implement it like this. Shortly after the dismissal of Li Gang and Zhongshi Dao, he immediately sent someone to go to Wanyan Zongwang to "negotiate". No matter what conditions Wanyan Zongwang put forward, he could agree to it. As long as the two families made peace, as long as Wanyan Zongwang retreated and left.

Originally, Wanyan Zongwang had overfulfilled the military plan. The reason why he dared to besiege Tokyo with a minority was to see the political corruption and military incompetence of the Southern Dynasties. But he waited for a few days without Wanyan Zonghan's passer-by to pick him up, but the main force of the Western Army of the Southern Dynasty came to save him. He also began to be unsure. Anyway, he had made enough benefits, so he was ready to grease the soles of his feet at any time.

However, Zhao Huan and his new generation of capitulations in the Song Dynasty are now only looking forward to Wanyan Zongwang to get out of here quickly. Don't make people panic like this and disturb their sweet life. As long as Wanyan Zong is willing to make peace and withdraw his troops, he can agree to any request, including land ceding, compensation and surrendering!

The corruption and political incompetence of the Song Dynasty once again shocked Wanyan Zongwang. He was afraid that he couldn't figure it out until he died. Just as they were in a dangerous situation and were ready to withdraw, suddenly the cake fell from the sky and almost made him dizzy.

After pinching such a soft persimmon, Wanyan Zongwang will not be polite. He asked for a large number of gold and silver treasures, and also proposed to rule the Yellow River with the Southern Dynasty, let Song Ting permanently cede the three important military towns in Hebei and Taiyuan, and hand over the remnants of the Southern Dynasties of the Liao Dynasty - Princess Feihu!

Zhao Huan agreed without hesitation. He opened the treasury and turned it upside down, almost doing everything he had to send Wanyan Zongwang. And immediately issued the imperial edict and sent envoys to the three towns in Hebei, Taiyuan and other places to read the "Edict of the Son of Heaven", so that these places should give up their resistance to the Jin soldiers and live with the Jin people obediently from then on.

Not only that, Zhao Ji was also afraid that Wanyan Zongwang would not feel at ease and not be beautiful, so he sent 100,000 troops to escort him all the way across the Yellow River. He also issued a strict order not to allow anyone to provoke and seek revenge on the Jurch, otherwise there would be no mercy!

Wanyan Zongwang finally realized the warmth and hospitality of his friends in the Southern Dynasty. He walked with a swagger and decency, and at the same time he was unwilling - if I didn't replace such a rotten dynasty, would it be a violent thing?!

Zhao Huan turned over the property from the bottom of the box and did not hesitate to cede the ancestral territory. Instead of filling the desire and ambition of the Jurchens, he let it expand more and more!

The female real woman retreated from the army, and the alliance was signed. Zhao Huan and the Manchu Dynasty Wenwu were finally a little relieved, and they could sit down to taste wine and talk about poetry and prostitution.

At this time, Taiyuan City is in deep water and fire!

It has been more than a month since the Jurchens besieged the city, and 150,000 soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan City spent the New Year's Eve in tension and confusion. On New Year's Eve and the first day of the New Year, Wanyan Zonghan specially sent troops to attack the city twice to show his New Year's greetings to the Southern Dynasties.

Although Wanyan Zonghan did not try his best to attack the city, he has been stopping these days and has never stopped fighting and harassment. Everyone in Taiyuan City has never relaxed even a moment. Moreover, the equipment for defending the city is quite seriously consumed. In less than a month, more than half of all kinds of "killers" have been consumed. In addition, as long as there is a battle, there will be casualties, the garrison in the city continues to reduce its staff, and the increasing number of wounded and medicine has become a big problem. Food is also decreasing day by day, but the reinforcements of the imperial court are far away.

The soldiers and people in the city have experienced more than a month of mental and physical torture, and they are all exhausted and depressed. All kinds of crises and undercurrents are surging.

In this regard, Chu Tianya, who is responsible for the public security in the city, feels the most obvious. In recent days, the crime rate in the city has increased significantly many times, and there are vicious incidents such as fighting, robbery and murder almost every day. There is too much pressure and tension in everyone's heart, and often a word or dissonance will lead to conflict.

This situation happened when the Jurchens besieged the city, but it was perfectly resolved at that time, so it was calm for a month. Now that this situation happens again, no one can completely solve it.

The only solution that can be solved is to solve the siege and stop the war!

On the afternoon of this day, Chu Tianya had just led a military patrol to help Wang Yu successfully repel a siege of the female real woman. Both the master and apprentice were exhausted. They finally took a moment of free time and sat in the castle carving building and drank a sip of hot tea.

Now there is a shortage of materials in the city, and it is a very luxurious enjoyment to have tea.

The sergeants are cleaning up the remnants of the battlefield, and there are many soldiers lost today. After more than a dozen harassments and battles, the Jurchens have become much smarter. They no longer climb the wall and attack with their heads so desperately, but take the method of riding and shooting cover and the siege equipment. The main motivation is not to capture the city, but to attack the guards on the top of the city and create casualties.

When Chu Tianya took people to treat the wounded, he was shot by a streamer. Fortunately, the strength of wearing a thick armored arrow was not too strong, and he was not injured. But the arrow was still stuck on the iron armor behind him, and it took a lot of effort to pull it out.

"Tianya, you have also experienced several battles in recent days. How do you feel?" Wang Wen asked.

"It's okay, I can adapt to it." Chu Tianya replied, "Although I have experienced a hand-to-hand combat, it is only a small scene, far less than the current battle of defending the city. The riding and shooting skills of the real woman are really powerful. With such a high wall and such a long distance of their arrows, they can still pierce the iron armor on my body!"

"Now Wanyan Zonghan's intentions are obvious. He just wants to use the method of a protracted war of attrition to devour Taiyuan." Wang Yu said, "Although we are now trapped in the city and can't know the news from the outside world, according to Wanyan Zonghan's performance, it can be speculated that our court may have encountered a great crisis. Otherwise, how can he completely turn a deaf ear to Taiyuan and let Wanyan Zonghan play this kind of cat mouse trick here?

Chu Tianya shook his head with a wry smile, "The example of a teacher is very self-esteem, but it is indeed appropriate. Yes, Wanyan Zonghan is playing with rats in the cat now. He doesn't want or can't beat Taiyuan in one breath. He uses this method to consume our supplies, damage our troops, and destroy our fighting spirit.

"Oh..." There was no one around, and Wang Dare dared to sigh quietly, "Although I never really expected the court to send soldiers and horses to rescue Taiyuan, in fact, there is still a trace of fantasy in my heart. So far, it can only be broken!"

At this moment, a man came from the door of the building, holding a blood-stained Taining pen gun. The red armor was particularly dazzling, and he was wearing a ferocious night fork mask on his face.

Chu Tianya saw the fresh blood on the golden red robe at a glance, and had to shake his head and smile helplessly.

This is the fourth defense battle that Xiao Linglong participated in. A woman like her pays attention that she has nothing to do with the needle and thread girl. She is good at killing and bloodletting. Naturally, she will not be at ease by anyone.

Wang Yu waved his hand, "Princess, come in and sit down and have a sip of hot tea!"

Xiao Linglong put the Taining pen gun against the wall, took off her mask and walked to the two of them. You're welcome. He picked up the big tea bowl used by Chu Tianya and drank up the remaining half bowl of tea.

"My tea." Chu Tianya protested.

"I don't see many bowls." Xiao Linglong glanced at Chu Tianya and wiped the remaining vegetable stains on the corners of her mouth, but wiped the blood stains on the back of her hand on her face.

"Oh, do you really want to be a bloodthirsty night fork?" Chu Tianya got up, dipped some hot water in the corners of his robe and wiped his face.

Xiao Linglong stood still and let him wipe it. There was a lot of fatigue in her eyes, and there was a trace of rare warmth.

Another battle is over. Both of them survived and were not hurt, which seemed to be a blessing.

Wang Yu sat aside and looked quietly. The many small details in front of him made him, a veteran veteran, sigh with emotion in his heart.

"When are you going to get married?" Wang Qian suddenly said.

Both of them were stunned, and then they both laughed.

"What, did I ask abruptly?" Wang smiled and said, "Tianya, your father and Lingtang have passed away. I am not only your teacher, but also your elder. I can make the decision for you about the marriage.

"Wang Dutong, I don't think it's suitable to mention such a thing now." Xiao Linglong immediately interrupted Wang's words, and her tone was not cold, let alone enthusiastic. She just said plainly, "Moreover, I didn't want to marry this guy at all!"

Chu Tianya suddenly smiled, "It's like I'm looking forward to marrying you."

"That's it. You don't care, and I don't like it. Such a thing is boundless. Xiao Linglong smiled and said casually, "So Wang Dutong, don't mention this matter in the future."

"Ha ha, I really don't understand the things about you young people now. Well, the old man won't have much trouble in the future." Wang Yi smiled and said, "The Jurchens should not call again today. Tianya, you haven't been to the city for a few days. Just go back and rest with the princess. I'm here.

"It's better for the students to stay behind, and the teacher will go to rest, right?" Chu Tianya said.

Wang Yu waved his hand with a smile, "I take the army as my home, and it's the same everywhere. You're different - don't talk nonsense, let's go!"

"Then the student will thank you for your teacher!"

Chu Tianya breathed a sigh of relief.

In these days, he has spent eight out of ten days in the city or in the military camp. Two meals a day are also endless, and sometimes he solves it on horseback. In addition, he was busy day and night and even participated in several battles in person. It would be a lie to say that he was not tired.

Xiao Linglong, a female, has been with him for more than ten days, doing the same thing as him, and even playing more than him in the battle. She must have been exhausted for a long time.

The two went down to the city and found their horses separately. They did not ride, but led the horses and walked slowly.

These days, the horses have lost a lot of weight.

"Princess, when you get home, ask Uncle He to stew a pot of meat for you." Chu Tianya said.

"I guess it's gone for a long time." Xiao Linglong subconsciously squeaked her lips. After all, she has been a princess who has been eating coarse military food for so many days, and she is indeed a little greedy.

"Then I'll kill this horse." Chu Tianya said.

Xiao Linglong was stunned and turned her head and stared at him fiercely, "You're crazy! How can people in the army kill horses and eat meat with horses as their companions and horses as their relatives?

"In contrast, I think people are more important than horses." Chu Tianya patted the one he was holding, sighed and said, "We have been together for so many days, not to mention that I do have a little affection with it. But if there is no food, I will also kill it and cook meat for you.

"What you mean is that I'm a little more important than this horse?"

"It may be."

"I'm the opposite of you." Xiao Linglong smiled slightly, and the corners of her mouth were slightly raised up. The curvature was so beautiful that it was intoxicating. "If one day we are so hungry that we have nothing to eat, I will kill the BMW you feed me."

"Okay, as long as you are willing." Chu Tianya smiled with a straight smile.

"Bah, don't be ashamed!"
