The Jin army besieged the city, and the Song emperor’s daughter died

Chapter 174 Determined to send troops
It's extremely hot in midsummer.

Huining Prefecture is not like the city-states of the Song Dynasty. There are a lot of ice cubes at this time, and ordinary families can buy a few pieces of ice to relieve the heat and cool down.

In the Mingde Hall, the golden man, who was not good at etiquette, was shirtless and had a sweat towel hanging around his neck, looking like a group of bandits having a meeting.

"Cut Zhao Kai?"

Wanyan Zonghan moved Zhao Kai's head this way and that: "Really chopped it off?"

Wanyan Zongwang was dressed neatly, and he endured the heat and replied: "I have experienced it, it is indeed Zhao Kai."

Wanyan Sheng sat on the dragon chair, lifting his robe and fanning himself. He frowned and said, "It seems that this Song Dynasty man has no intention of breaking the covenant."

"It's harmful. Even the prince was beheaded. I'm afraid the people of Song Dynasty were frightened out of their wits." Zong Han closed the wooden box and waved his hand: "Take it away, take it away, it stinks!"

"Then the Song people didn't say when they would send Yelu that woman back?" Wanyan Sheng asked, flipping through Zhao Fujin's handwritten letter.

"Why are you sending me back? A wife who ran away is worse than a dog..."

"Zong Han! Yelu Yuliyan was kidnapped by that thief Zhao Kai!" Wanyan Zongwang corrected him.

Wanyan Zonghan curled his lips and said: "Second Prince, don't be angry. Women, let's change it. Tell the people of Song Dynasty and ask them to send two more emperor concubines for marriage. When the time comes, the Second Prince and I will have one each. Do you want it, Your Majesty?" Just ask them to send three of them!”

Wanyan Sheng wiped his sweat: "Don't talk about what we have or don't have. Now, we have prepared the food and supplies for the Song Dynasty. Do we want to fight or not?"

"Didn't this woman say in her letter that she would continue to fulfill the covenant?" Wanyan Zonghan asked.

"She didn't say that. What she said was, let us taste it ourselves." Wanyan Zongwang corrected again.

"What's so good about this? The prince has already chopped it down. Doesn't that explain the situation?" Wanyan Zonghan argued.

"Commander Zong Han, are you scared?" Wanyan Zongwang sneered.

"Cowarded? Haha, if you want to fight, you can fight. If you say something like this, you can do it. When did I, Zong Han, ever give in?"

"You two, stop arguing." Wanyan Sheng patted the dragon chair, looked at Wanyan Zongwang and asked, "Does the second prince mean to attack the Song Dynasty?"

Zong Wang bowed and said: "I just think that if we want to attack the Song Dynasty, August is the right time to send troops. When we arrive at Kaifeng City, winter has entered. The southerners are afraid of the cold, but I, the Jin people, are not. If we don't send troops at this time, we will wait until next year. In the spring, if the woman breaks the contract, if she wants to cut again, she will have to wait until autumn."

Wanyan Sheng thought, what Zong Wang said made sense.

When the Jin went south, they usually chose to raise troops in autumn and fight decisively in winter.

Firstly, in the wind and snow, the southerners' combat effectiveness will indeed be greatly reduced. Secondly, when they raise troops in autumn, they can harvest a lot of grass and grain along the way to replenish military supplies.

Therefore, later generations jokingly called the Jin people like Erha. The colder they are, the more melon they look like.

Of course, this "melon" refers to the overwhelming fighting power.

"Your Majesty, what the Second Prince said is reasonable, but we don't want to be blamed for breaking the contract. The army can set off and gather on the north bank of the Yellow River. If the Song Dynasty breaks the contract, they can just cross the river and start work." Wanyan Xiyin suggested.

"But even after sending troops, the Song Dynasty will still fulfill its contract?" Wanyan Sheng muttered.

Wanyan Xiyin is worthy of being the chief think tank of the Jin Kingdom. He believes that it has been almost two months since Zhao Kai escaped from Huining Mansion.

During this period, Wanyan Zongwang wrote three letters to the Song Dynasty in his own name, but the Jin court did not issue a letter of credence. Therefore, the day after Zhao Kai fled Huining Mansion, the Jin Dynasty thought that the Song Dynasty was going to breach the contract, so it sent troops south , marched slowly, traveling no more than thirty miles a day, which was a great loss to the Song Dynasty.

Just waiting for Da Song to give Xin'er.

It has been two months now, and the Song Dynasty finally has faith. However, the Jin army has reached the Song Dynasty, and the forward has even reached Hedong Road.

Even though I have come, I will wait until next spring for the team that guards the Great Song Dynasty Coin to return the gold.Wanyan Sheng thought about it and said with a smile: "The female official of the Song Dynasty is not a three-year-old child. Can she believe such words?"

"Your Majesty, it doesn't matter whether she believes it or not. What matters is that Song people are afraid of war."

At first glance, this theory seems illogical.

You have already sent troops, why should I give you coins?It makes no sense!
But our Song Dynasty is illogical at all. Let alone sending troops, even if you have captured the emperor, you will still get a lot.

Therefore, Wanyan Xiyin was sure that if the Song people broke the treaty, it had nothing to do with sending troops or not. If the Song people did not break the treaty, it had nothing to do with sending troops or not.

"In that case, why did we need peace talks in the first place?" Wanyan Zongwang sneered: "If there had been no peace talks at the beginning, Yelu Yuliyan would not have been kidnapped, and I, Zongwang, would not be so embarrassed!"

Wanyan Xiyin quickly explained: "Second Prince, don't be upset. Isn't it because I haven't figured out the people of Song Dynasty yet?"

It's a nonsense explanation, but Zong Wang doesn't want to argue with him about it: "What does Commander Zong Han think?"

Wanyan Zonghan spread his hands: "It doesn't matter, just listen to your Majesty."

Everyone turned their attention to Wanyan Sheng who was sitting on the dragon throne.

Wanyan Sheng thought for a moment: "In that case, let's raise the army in August, but... before that, send a message to the Song Dynasty. According to what Gushen said, our army has reached the border, and everyone is here, so... Let’s go to the north bank of the Yellow River to welcome the new year’s coin procession.”

After leaving the Mingde Hall, Wanyan Zonghan called out to Wanyan Xiyin: "Gushen, why are you like this?"

Wanyan Xiyin explained: "Commander, Zhao Kai is dead, and what we discussed with Zhao Kai at that time has not been implemented. In this case, it is better to attack the Song Dynasty. It would be good for the commander to get some more military honors. This If we can capture Kaifeng, we can also make a fortune, right?"

Wanyan Zonghan thought about it and realized that the reason why he agreed to the peace talks at that time was because Zhao Kai promised him to give him a certain number of coins from the Kingdom of Jin and give Zonghan an extra portion. But now that everyone is gone, who can he ask for?

Wanyan Zonghan sighed: "Hey, Gu Shen is right. Zhao Kai, a weakling, was actually killed by a girl. If he had some ability, I would still want to help him become the emperor of the Song Dynasty. Now, since We can’t get any benefits from the Song people, so don’t keep them and just destroy them.”

……

……

In the imperial study room, the chamberlain has been replaced by Yelu Yuliyan.

Not to mention, women are much more considerate than eunuchs when they take care of women.

"Guan, don't drink iced drinks. During menstruation, your palace will be cold and painful."

Yelu Yuliyan took away the plum smoothie on the imperial table and replaced it with a cup of hot tea. Zhao Fujin took a sip of the hot tea and glanced at his mouth: "It would be better if I added some milk."

"With milk? How to eat this?"

"Milk tea, I'll teach you how to make it later. By the way, it's time for Wanyan Zongwang to receive my letter, right?"

Yelu Yuliyan covered his mouth and said with a smile: "I guess I have received it. The officials really want to accept him as their son-in-law?"

Zhao Fujin pouted: "He's so beautiful! I'm just teasing him. Based on your understanding of Wanyan Zongwang, do you think he will ask Wanyan Sheng to send troops?"

Yelu Yuli thought for a moment: "Zong Wang has a deep mind. Although I have been married to him for half a year, I can't be sure of his thoughts, especially these things. He never talks to me. I guess it's just a matter of time. Don’t fuck me.”

Seeing that Yelu Yuliyan was a little aggrieved, Zhao Fujin patted her hand and said, "We don't live just to be admired by him. Why do we care about his opinions? In the future, you can help me deal with some things. I'll be admired by you." you."

Yelu Yuliyan looked at Zhao Fujin and nodded slightly: "Thank you, official."

"It's already July. Regardless of whether the Jin people will send troops or not, we have to be prepared. In two days, the Kaifeng city defense will be completed. Come with me and take a look!"
