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

Chapter 31: You’re here now, wait until you leave

Early in the morning on the [-]th day of the first lunar month, a large Jinjun flag was planted outside Xunmen in the south of Kaifeng City.

There are four big characters embroidered on the flag: This is too much!
There is a human head stuck on the tip of the big flag, staring at Nanxun Gate with unblinking eyes!
Duke Chongguo... died for his country in a hundred hours!

"Die so soon? You're a useless guy. I still want him to hold Zong Wang off for a few more days, and he didn't survive even one night?"

In the royal study, Zhao Fujin looked disgusted. He put on his deerskin boots and asked, "Where is the person? Bah, where is the head?"

Li Gang bowed: "The city defenders have brought the head of Duke Chong back to the city. It should be with the Nanxun Gate defenders at the moment."

"Let's go, follow me to Nanxun Gate!"

As soon as he walked out of the imperial study, Zhao Fujin stopped again and thought for a moment: "Wait, let's call Zhang Shuye first!"

An hour later, white flags were hanging on the imperial street, paper money was flying, the first male model group of the Song Dynasty, the Tianwu Army of the honor guard were dressed in white clothes, guarding a nanmu coffin, walking heavily, hundreds of people in Bai Shizhong Mansion were wearing hemp and wearing filial piety, following The one who cries in the back is sincere.

On both sides of the team, there were a group of high-spirited students from the Taiyuan College, shouting with teeth chattering: "Loyal souls are clear, bless me in the Song Dynasty, the golden thief Zongwang, pay with blood!"

More and more common people followed the funeral procession. By the time they arrived at the Nanxunmen city wall, the funeral procession already numbered tens of thousands.

On the city wall of Nanxunmen, Zhao Fujin took the wooden box handed over by the general who defended the city, with a sad expression: "Dong Chongguo has been loyal throughout his life. Even though our generals from the Song Dynasty killed three thousand enemies at Xishui Gate and ten thousand enemies at Suizao Gate, he still has it." If you can regard peace as the most precious thing, you can negotiate peace with Wanyan Zongwang to prevent the people of Kaifeng from being tortured by the war. When the two countries are fighting, they will not kill the envoys. I hate that shameless gold thief and actually kill our Duke. Which one cannot be tolerated? Song soldiers, do you dare to avenge the Duke of our country?"

"The loyal soul is clear, bless us in the Song Dynasty, the golden thief Zongwang, pay for the blood debt with blood!"

The Jin Army scouts who were five miles away were also frightened by the deafening roar!
……

……

Li Bangyan was not feeling well. Ever since Zhao Gou returned to the city yesterday, and immediately after the official ordered Bai Shizhong to be sent to Jinying to negotiate with Wanyan Zongwang about the reward for the army, he felt vaguely uneasy.

But he felt that with Bai Shizhong's smooth way of dealing with things and his character of being weak when strong and strong when weak, even if the negotiation with Wanyan Zongwang did not go well, it would not lead to a fatal disaster.

Could it be that the Jin people are really rough and tumble, vulgar and unreasonable?

Not only Li Bangyan, but also other peace-promoting officials heard that Bai Shizhong was beheaded by the Jin army, and they also fell into self-doubt: "Can this peace negotiation still be negotiated?"

Before noon, the chamberlain hurried to Zhongshu Province and said: "Li Xiangguo, the official asked you to go to the Imperial Study Room."

Li Bangyan was shocked and stuttered when he spoke: "The official...she...she didn't say anything?"

The chamberlain shook his head and urged: "Ms. Li, it's better to go quickly. The official family is a little restless after returning from Nanxunmen."

Li Bangyan gritted his teeth, stood up immediately, and followed the chamberlain to the imperial study.

In the imperial study room, Zhao Fujin was pacing back and forth, looking extremely agitated. When he saw Li Bangyan coming, he quickly went to greet him: "Li Qing, what should I do now?"

Li Bangyan bowed and asked, "Are the officials talking about Chongguo Gong?"

Zhao Fujin waved his hand: "The people are gone, so what's the use of talking about it? What I mean is that the reward for the army has been robbed by thieves, and the peace talks are probably going to collapse?" Li Bangyan thought for a moment and asked: "The official family is not Have you always been unwilling to negotiate peace?"

Zhao Fujin frowned: "At this moment, I thought King Qin's soldiers would arrive soon, but it is already the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, so many days have passed, and there is not even a shadow. I feel that we still have to Soothe the Jin army! Is there anything Li Xiangguo can do?"

What can Li Bangyan do? All the Emperor's things have been sold out, and even the rouge money in Huajie and Liuxiang has been looted. What can he do?
Seeing that Li Bangyan was silent, Zhao Fujin sighed: "Hey, I am willing to give out 10 taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver. For the rest, Li Xiangguo has to think of a way."

When Li Bangyan heard this, he immediately felt that the official was delivering a message?
The officials all paid for it, how could he, Li Bangyan, not be embarrassed?
"Officials love the people. Since this is the case, I am willing to do my little bit. I am willing to donate... 8 gold and 200 million taels of silver. I still have several homes in Kaifeng that can be sold!"

Zhao Fujin was stunned, wondering why this man was so ignorant. Did he want him to take the money?
I wanted him to go to Jinying and delay Yan Zongwang for a while.

"Li Xiangguo misunderstood. I don't want Li Xiangguo to pay. I just want you to take the money and go to see Wanyan Zongwang to ask him to calm down and use the remaining money to reward the army. Think of a way, even if I transfer money from various places, it will take some time, right?"

When Li Bangyan heard this, he fell to his knees: "I am willing to donate 10 taels of gold and 500 million taels of silver. The officials should find someone else to do it! I...I am not worthy of this responsibility!"

Seeing Li Bangyan's face turned pale with fright, Zhao Fujin quickly went to help him up: "Don't be afraid of Li Xiangguo. Wanyan Zongwang killed Duke Chongguo just to show off his power to our Song Dynasty and show his attitude. His purpose is still To reward the army with property, it is impossible to kill everyone, right? If that were the case, he would just attack the city directly."

Although what Zhao Fujin said made sense, Li Bangyan still felt...cowardly!
"In this way, the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian and Zhongshan will also be cut off! If you go with this sincerity, Wanyan Zongwang will not harm you. I will write another personal letter to Wanyan Zongwang and invite him to come to the city on the fifteenth day of the first lunar month. How about enjoying the lanterns?"

Zhao Fujin had already said this, and Li Bangyan felt that he was safe.

Take this with you to see Wanyan Zongwang. As long as he is not a beast, he will probably not be able to kill anyone.

"After I go there, I want to find out why Lord Chong Guo angered Wanyan Zongwang."

After Li Bangyan left, Zhao Fujin returned to the imperial desk. Looking at the calendar drawn on the imperial desk, he frowned and said, "Every day seems like a year! Don't make any mistakes this time. Why did Bai Shizhong, an idiot like that? Can it be chopped down?"

……

……

On Mou Tuo Gang, Wanyan Zongwang, who was preparing to break camp once again, received news from the Song Dynasty court: Li Xiangguo wanted to bring gold and silver and come to apologize in person!
Wanyan Zongwang felt that ever since he arrived at Kaifeng City, he had been driven insane by the capricious new emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Fight, you will be good at fighting.

Let’s talk, just have a good talk.

Just now, we shared the same hatred with the enemy, and the killings were loud and loud, and we wanted to pay with our own blood. Within two hours, we had to send important ministers to apologize in person?

Wanyan Zongwang stood outside the tent, looking at Kaifeng City from a distance: "The new emperor of the Song Dynasty on the dragon throne is too frivolous. How can such a person rule the world? The fate of the country of the Song Dynasty is over, God bless the country! "

"Commander, shall we break camp then?" The deputy general, who had received a hundred military sticks, covered his butt with one hand and stood firmly beside Wanyan Zongwang and asked.

"You're already here, you have to get something before you leave!"
