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

Chapter 207 He's Angry!

Wanyan Zonghan did not completely take over Taiyuan.

He only had three things done.

One is to recruit the armed forces left behind in the city to maintain law and order in the city.

The second is to send people straight to the grain storage warehouse of the Taiyuan defenders. There is neither too much nor too little food, which is enough for the entire West Route Army to eat for two more months.

The third is to order the general magistrate of Taiyuan City to serve as the temporary magistrate to appease the people and maintain people's livelihood.

After completing the above three things, Wanyan Zonghan did not send troops into the city, but strictly ordered not to enter the city to plunder, and to stand by in the camp.

Wanyan Xiyin went to the city in person and visited the wealthy squire households to show that the Jin army was a benevolent and righteous army. It was ceded by the Song court, but Dajin was disrespectful. Everyone can live in peace, drink wine, and have sex with prostitutes, everything is as usual.On the other hand, Wanyan Xiyin also visited handicraft workshops in Taiyuan City, looking for craftsmen, and inquired about the strange firearms used by Kong Mingqiu and Wanyan Huonv.

However, after asking around, no one knew who made these things.

It’s just that before the Jin army came, the Song Dynasty court sent some scientific officials, and they brought these things.

Section officer?

A new word has been added to Wanyan Xiyin's Chinese vocabulary.

Although he did not understand what kind of official he was and what his responsibilities were, after returning to Jinying, Wanyan Xiyin wrote a letter to Emperor Wanyan Sheng of Jin Dynasty, suggesting that Jin Dynasty should also establish scientific officers.

As for the reason, Wanyan Xiyin originally wanted to write down clearly the situation on the day of the siege, so that Wanyan Sheng could know that the officers could produce very powerful equipment.

But I wrote, rubbed it out, rubbed it out, and started writing again. I spent half a day over and over again, but I still couldn't finish the letter.

It's not that Wanyan Xiyin doesn't know how to write excerpts, but that Wanyan Xiyin really can't grasp the balance between the superb weapons of the Song Dynasty and the unparalleled bravery of the Jin army.

If you write that the weapons of the Song Dynasty are awesome, then the Jin army will suffer heavy losses. Where can Wanyan Zonghan put his face?

But if we want to write that the Jin army was unparalleled in bravery, then the reason for asking the Emperor of Jin to set up scientific officers is not valid.

No solution!

I simply threw away the pen and thought about discussing it with Wanyan Sheng in person after my teacher returned to the court.

That's the complexity of politics.

So many years later, another great man came up with eight words, which are particularly good: emancipate the mind and seek truth from facts.

In the afternoon, Wanyan Zonghan summoned the generals to study and arrange the next action.

"Now that Taiyuan City has been taken, my worries have been resolved. I have decided to send troops to Kaifeng."

Wanyan Zonghan pointed to the battle map and arranged: "There should be no resistance from the Song army this time when we advance south. We will cross the river after arriving at Mengzhou. After crossing the river, Wanyan Huonv will lead an army of eight thousand and go west to capture Luoyang, Xijing. The emperor of the Song Dynasty fled westward, and the rest of his troops besieged Kaifeng. This time, I want to capture the three emperors of the Song Dynasty alive!"

As Han Shizhong said, great generals have some little quirks.

Wanyan Lou's room is simple and rough, and he likes heads.

Everywhere Wanyan Xiyin goes, he grabs books and craftsmen.

Wanyan Zonghan's hobby was more advanced, collecting enemy emperors.

Wanyan Zonghan had already planned this time to destroy the Song Dynasty. It was not physical destruction, but spiritual surrender. As long as the emperors were still alive in the Song Dynasty, they would not kill any of them, but capture them all, keep them in captivity with Emperor Liao Zuo.

Hearing that the marshal wanted to capture the three emperors of the Song Dynasty alive, Wanyan Xiyin frowned and asked, "Did Zhao Huan really proclaim himself emperor?"

Wanyan Zonghan smiled and said, "I finally figured it out these days."

"Oh? What does the commander want to know?" The generals in the tent looked at Wanyan Zonghan curiously.

Wanyan Zonghan raised his head: "I used to think that the Song people were cunning and changeable. In fact, that was not the case. It was because the Song Dynasty was inherently unstable. When they went south for the first time, at first the Song people knelt down and asked for peace, but in the end they took the second prince. You are so disgraced, why?"

Zong Han asked himself and answered: "Because that female official is in power." "This time, Taiyuan's defense is impregnable. We can obviously be killed here, why do we suddenly want peace talks with other places?"

Wanyan Huonu slapped her head: "Because the female official's family was screwed again?"

Wanyan Zonghan nodded: "Think about it, why is it that the one who came this time with twelve gold medals is not a high-ranking member of the Song Dynasty, but Pharmacist Guo?"

Seeing everyone's confusion, Wanyan Zonghan pointed at Wanyan Xiyin: "Gushen, please tell me."

Wanyan Xiyin smiled and said: "When Medicine Master Guo first surrendered to the Song Dynasty, he met Emperor Daojun very late. The two had a close relationship. This time Emperor Daojun supported and forced King Zhao Huan to ascend the throne, and Zhao Huan did not dare to fight. I thought Looking for someone to come to Jin camp to seek peace, who is the best candidate? Of course it is Yaoshi Guo, who has surrendered gold."

"Yes!" Wanyan Zonghan answered: "But these stupid men don't know at all that Medicine Master Guo is the person placed by the Second Prince in the Song Dynasty court, hahaha!"

"Hmph!" Wanyan Loushi snorted with some disdain: "Zong Wang just loves to play these little tricks."

In Wanyan Loushi's view, fighting should be fought with real swords and guns, and playing any little tricks is disrespectful to the war.

Therefore, when looking at Wanyan Lou's tactics, there is only one move: open unparalleled!Go straight on!Either I die or the enemy dies!

He disdains any intrigues.

No matter how disdainful it is, it is extremely pleasant to have an insider in the Song Dynasty court.

Once the general direction is set, we must study the specific implementation time.

"On the one hand, Taiyuan City has sufficient supplies and craftsmen, so it can be built faster. On the other hand, it can also paralyze the Song people and make Emperor Daojun and the new emperor think that we will stop here and not besiege Kaifeng. During this period , and we can continue to ask for price from Song Ting."

Everyone in the tent agreed with Wanyan Xiyin's words.

Wanyan Zonghan was finally relieved: "Then it's settled. We'll send someone to inform the East Route Army to encircle Kaifeng at the end of December."

……

……

Tangyin, the East Route Army of the Kingdom of Jin was stationed here.

A few days ago, scouts discovered that the Song army had about 30 troops, surrounding Tangyin from the east, west, north, and south, leaving only the south side.

Wanyan Zongwang thought about it and realized that this strategic intention was too obvious.

They just wanted to catch the duck and force the Eastern Route Army to cross the river.

What the enemy wants cannot be given to him, so Wanyan Zongwang originally wanted to take the initiative and face off directly. However, after several days of scouts' detection of the enemy's situation, they found that the 30-strong army did not have a unified command at all and were stationed scattered in the area. A place fifty miles away from Tangyin.

A few days later, it was discovered that these Song troops had no intention of besieging Tangyin. Some teams had even withdrawn within fifty miles and disappeared.

This made Wanyan Zongwang confused. How could there be such a siege?

Before truly understanding the Song Army's strategic intentions, Wanyan Zongwang felt that the best response strategy was to remain unchanged in response to changes, strengthen defense, and stay put.

A few days later, the scouts reported that all 30 Song troops had withdrawn.

Zong Wang vaguely felt that there was something fishy about this matter, but at this moment, a letter came from Kaifeng. Wanyan Zongwang turned away everyone, and then he opened the letter and read it carefully. Wanyan Zongwang looked shocked: "Zhao Fujin Wasted?"

Then Wanyan Zongwang approached the candlestick holding the letter and watched the letter burning in his hand.

Suddenly, for some reason, Wanyan Zongwang lost control of his emotions. After throwing away the letter, he turned around and hacked his desk with a knife.

The fourth prince who happened to be passing by heard the commotion and rushed into the hall to take a look. He saw Wanyan Zongwang standing with a knife in his hand and an angry look on his face.

Wanyan Zongbi slowly took two steps forward: "Second brother? What happened?"

Wanyan Zongwang gritted his teeth and said: "Send the order! After three days of rest, the entire army will cross the river. I will cut the bodies of the Dao Lord Emperor and the forced king Zhao Huan into thousands of pieces!"
