The struggle of the reborn prince

In order to prevent the Song army from attacking the city on a large scale, Pu San Zhongyi suggested building low walls in front of the city. These low walls are narrow and curved, and only two or three people can pass through them.In actual combat, the low wall can indeed prevent the large-scale Song army.Attacked the city gates in a large space, but the problem was that these low walls also caused troubles for the Kingdom of Jin.But defense does not mean completely passive defense. The Golden Army sometimes conducts night raids, but with these low walls and trenches, it is difficult, and everyone can only defend.

But Wan Yanquan didn't want to give up because of this, especially in the face of the Song Army's artillery fire, they were weak in counterattack, and it was difficult to stop it from firing. Everyone wanted to launch a night attack to destroy the Song Army's artillery positions.He thought that since it is impossible to break through the low wall, then we can pass underground.So he ordered a lot of money to recruit more than a thousand dead soldiers, and dug a tunnel out of the city. He planned to use this to sneak to the front of the Song Army's position, and suddenly attacked the artillery team, destroying the artillery and killing the artillery.

All the soldiers agreed with the emperor's strategy, but they were speechless about the emperor's command ability during the implementation.Everyone knows that a sneak attack is to shoot quietly. You must do your best to hide your intentions and whereabouts.But Wan Yanquan, who had never commanded even a small-scale battle, wanted to go into battle in person to boost morale. Of course, it was impossible for the emperor to go through the tunnel, but to participate in the battle as a commander.At the end of this battle, Yan Quan showed his "intelligence and intelligence". He was afraid that the daredevils lacked command and the orders would fail, which would lead to the failure of the operation. He ordered red paper lanterns to be lit on the top of the city tower, and asked the daredevils to act according to the instructions of the lanterns. .Not to mention that there is no night vision device in this era, and Wan Yanqin does not have a pair of eyes that can penetrate the darkness. How can he see the situation hundreds of steps away at night? It can only be imagined by patting his head In such a situation, he took it for granted to issue orders.

All soldiers know how to command and fight, and use the banner as their order during the day.At night, it is marked by lanterns.Suddenly, a red light flickered and swayed above the Huining City Tower. Not to mention the veterans of the Song Army, even soldiers with a little experience would find it strange.Wanyan Quan, who thought he was smart, was even more tender in front of veterans like Zhao Li and Gao Chong. They immediately realized that Jin Jun was making a big move.Be vigilant of course.

As a result, the battle commanded by the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin is self-evident. More than a thousand death-defying members took the initiative to expose their whereabouts and rushed towards the Song Army like moths to a flame. Annihilating all the Jin troops who attacked at night, the raid failed.However, the generals of the Song Army were very modest, and they all said that Wanyan Quan should be credited with the first merit. If there was no reminder from his red paper lantern on the tower, how could they fight so happily.Another easy victory... The surprise attack failed, but Wan Yanquan still did not intend to give up his command. This time he planned to change from fighting to fighting instead of fighting.Thinking that the Song army had come here and surrendered Wan Yanyong and Sa Li to tens of thousands of horses. According to the usual practice, these surrendered troops would be used as cannon fodder or coolies to fight with the army, so he decided to rebel against these prisoners of war first.However, the city was surrounded by water, and it was impossible to go out of the city to do work.

How to instigate rebellion?Of course, this is not difficult for the "resourceful" Wan Yanquan. He has been influenced by Han culture since childhood, so he naturally knows the allusion of "Passing the Book of Paper Kites".He ordered people to make a large number of paper kites, and then placed the instigation documents on them.He ordered the kite to be released at the top of the city, hoping that the kite could fly to the barracks of the Song Army, and be picked up by those former soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin to understand their painstaking efforts.Back home anyway.

As long as the wind is strong enough, the direction of the wind doesn't matter. Anyway, there are Song Army camps all around, so it is certain that the kite will fly to the Song Camp, but the effect is not so hard to say.Because the Jin army's descendants were all sent by the emperor to Liaodong to fight the Khitans. There were Jurchens in the siege team, but there were not many of them. Even if they all went back, they would not be able to gather a thousand-man team.Furthermore, the documents are written in Jurchen script, which is a small language.People in Song Dynasty really don't know many people, and they don't know what to say at all.Either throw it away, or become a fire starter.

The emperor's strategy of retreating the enemy made the ruling and opposition parties dumbfounded.It also made Wan Yanquan himself very frustrated. He was no longer enthusiastic about commanding operations after being extremely miserable, and now there was a crisis in the city.At the beginning of the siege, in order to be able to stick to it for a long time, the city once implemented the policy of "kuo chestnut", but because the executor was unfavorable, the people complained. He had to stop collecting surplus grain and opened a warehouse to release grain.

At this time, the Song army had been besieging the city for more than [-] days. Not only did they have no intention of retreating, but they continued to attack the city.This caused panic among the people, and they rushed to buy food, causing the price of food to soar, and the price of Doumi reached as much as two times, and the prices of other daily necessities also increased accordingly, so that even the families of gentlemen could not afford it, and ordinary families could not afford it. rise.This caused the people in the city to be unstable, and they did not hesitate to fight each other for food.

But this wave is not flat, and another wave is rising.Wan Yanquan received a secret report saying that Wu Shu had the intention of disobedience, and contacted the Song Dynasty frequently.He was shocked when he heard that, the power of the fourth uncle is in the government and the public, controlling the military and political power, if he wants to usurp the throne, it can be said to be a piece of cake.At first, he still didn't believe it. After all, if Wu Shu wanted to be emperor, he could have been deposed long ago, so why wait until the moment when the country is about to be subjugated.But I am afraid to ponder over things, especially things related to my own interests.

Wan Yanquan first thought that when Huining City was just besieged, he wanted to abandon the city and run away, but Wu Shu didn't stop him, and instead asked to stay in Weicheng.He wondered how he could have spent half his life on the battlefield not understanding the danger, but besides being seriously ill, he may have already had a tacit understanding with the Song Dynasty and agreed to the conditions proposed by him.And going out of the city by himself just provided him with convenience, and it might even be a trap. He leaked his whereabouts to Zhao Er in advance and betrayed himself.

Although Wanyan Quan was full of suspicion at this time, he was only suspicious, because everything was speculation, and he could not kill without real evidence.In fact, he didn't dare to act presumptuously, there were old and old disciples of Wushu all over the court, if he didn't manage to beat the dog, he would be bitten by the dog instead.And soon there was news that Wushu and Zhao Er had reached an agreement: Zhao Er agreed that as long as he surrendered in Kaesong, he would send Wanyan Quan to him, proclaim his minister to Song Dynasty, and cede the south of Liaohe River.He abolished Wanyan Quan, made Wushu's son Wanyan Heng the king, retained the title of the Kingdom of Jin, and had already sent his son out of the city to Jinying as a hostage.

If Wanyan Quan was half-believed about Wushu's rebellion before, then now he is [-]% convinced.It is a public matter that I have no heirs, and the two brothers and males who are closest to me have been executed, so the next successor can only be chosen from the two lines of Taizu and Taizong.There is basically no one in Taizong's family. Of course, now that Taizu's family is in power, how can it be easy to let people go, so their families have already started fighting openly and secretly. Wanyan Liang and Wanyan Yong are good examples.

But everyone knew in their hearts that as long as the grand master survived, the next emperor must fall into their family.Wan Yanheng was also familiar with Wanyan Quan, he was the eldest son of Wu Shu, the direct descendant of A Gu Da, and he was fully qualified to inherit the throne just like him.Moreover, this person is brave and powerful, and has a straightforward personality. He is not a leader among the younger generation, but he is not a mediocre person either.

"Grand Master, are you feeling better?" In order to confirm the accuracy of the news, Wan Yanquan decided to go to the Grand Master's Mansion to find out in person. Visiting a doctor is also the best reason.

"Thank you Your Majesty for your concern, the old minister seems to be running out of time." Wu Shu forced himself to sit up and said with a wry smile.

"Grand Master, don't think too much, Dajin Kingdom cannot do without you, and I can't do without you!" Wanyan Quan said while shaking Wushu's hand.

"Your Majesty's reputation is too high. The old minister heard that His Majesty came to the battle to inspire the army, and he led his concubines out of the palace many times to appease the people and distribute relief. As a result, he won the support of the army and the people. The old minister can rest assured even if he dies. It's just that the strong enemy has not retreated, so the old minister can't feel at ease. Ah!" Wu Shu said.

"Hey, why didn't I see Bo Die today, the Grand Master is seriously ill, why didn't he serve medicine in front of the bed?" Wanyan Quan asked in surprise while looking around.

"Oh... These days the enemy army is attacking the city, and the battle is urgent, so he must be staying in the camp!" Wu Shu replied in a daze, he didn't know why the emperor suddenly asked about his son.

"Hey, although the battle is urgent, the Grand Master is more important to Da Jin, how can he be so lazy." Wan Yanquan frowned, and said to the followers behind him with displeasure, "Go to the camp to recall Bo Die, so that he doesn't have to go to the army every day to prepare for battle, it's important to serve the Grand Master well."

The two were gossiping, and after a while, the envoy came back, but Wan Yanheng did not come back together.The entourage said that there was no Bodie in the camp, and his subordinates had not seen him for many days, thinking that he was serving the grand master in the mansion.Then he searched all the battalions in the city, but he couldn't find his whereabouts.Wanyan Quan said goodbye after hearing that with a livid face, but Wu Shu was confused, thinking that his son had offended the emperor, so he hid, so he didn't take it to heart.

But after two days, Wan Yanheng still didn't show up, and Wushu sent people to look for him. It can be said that except for the palace, he searched every corner of the city and found no one. Only then did he realize that something was wrong, and hurriedly searched for him. People inquired about the situation in the palace, but the son was not found, but they heard a shocking news, saying that the emperor, who hadn't drank for a long time, went back to get drunk that day, scolded the grand master for being unfaithful, begged for surrender from the Song Dynasty, and wanted to make his son emperor. There are people talking about it in the streets and alleys.

Wu Shu suddenly woke up, the emperor came to the mansion that day in the name of visiting a sick man, but in fact it was to test the truth, no matter what the truth was, the emperor had already doubted himself.Thinking of how loyal I am, but still unable to escape suspicion, and my son's whereabouts are unknown, I can't help feeling disheartened, and my condition has worsened...
