Poor Family 1

  Chapter 782 Change of position again

  In the imperial study room, Zhao Huan listened to Bai Shizhong's report with a blank face, nodded halfway and said: "I understand, Mr. Bai, please step down first!"

  Bai Shizhong suddenly became a little anxious. They waited for nearly half an hour for the officials to come out of the palace, and now it was less than an hour before dark, so there was no time to dawdle.

   "Your Majesty! There is no time left."

   "I know very well in my heart, step back!"

   "Your Majesty."

   "I told you to back down!" Zhao Huan suddenly angrily reprimanded.

  Bai Shizhong was stunned, so he had to lower his head, "My minister obeys the order!" He slowly backed away.

  Zhao Huan turned around and returned to the inner palace, his face gradually turned ashen, Jin Bing actually wanted all the women in his palace, he couldn't bear it.

   At this time, Geng Nanzhong was led by an eunuch, he bowed and saluted, "See Your Majesty!"

   "What's going on with today's negotiation? The Jinren want my court lady?" Zhao Huan asked Geng Nanzhong angrily.

No one would have guessed that Geng Nanzhong was Zhao Huan's confidant. Although Sun Fu and Wu Min had both been Zhao Huan's masters and received Zhao Huan's reward and were promoted to Xiangguo, it's a pity that they were not as good in observing words and charming Nanzhong is too far away, Geng Nanzhong has been in the East Palace for many years, he has already figured out Zhao Huan's temperament.

   "At the beginning, the Jin people did make this request."

   "What is the beginning, did it change later?" Zhao Huan asked suspiciously.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning it was just gold men asking for prices like five million taels of gold. In the end we could only give one million taels of silver and five million bolts of silk, and the other party accepted it. As for women, the other party also changed their minds. Ten thousand young girls."

  Zhao Huan's face suddenly became ugly, "You mean, you want the women in my palace to be Bai Shizhong talking to herself?"

"Not entirely. When Bai Xianggong confirmed with the other party, he added a sentence, does it include all the court ladies? Wanyan Xie also made it clear that all the court ladies are included in the ten thousand young girls. If Bai Xianggong does not have many such In other words, Wanyan Xie shouldn't ask for a court lady either!"

   "Damn bastard!" Zhao Huan cursed through gritted teeth.

  Geng Nanzhong was secretly proud of himself, but the knife seemed to be far from enough, and he said in a low voice: "When Bai Xianggong reported the matter of the Supreme Emperor, there was still a slight discrepancy with the facts."

"What?"

   "Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor's words of 'Hundreds of goodness and filial piety are the first' are not entirely aimed at His Majesty."

  Zhao Huan frowned, "How did you say the original words?"

   "The Supreme Emperor said that filial piety is the first, and I hope they can understand the suffering of the Supreme Emperor in the golden camp. The Supreme Emperor is talking about them, and it should refer to all the princes, not just His Majesty."

"what else?"

   "Also, Bai Xianggong was worried that His Majesty would disagree with the court lady, so he took the initiative to ask Wanyan Xie to see the Supreme Emperor. He said that as long as the Supreme Emperor agreed, His Majesty would not dare to refuse."

'boom! Finally, Zhao Huan was so angry that he punched the table hard. If Bai Shizhong was unable to deal with the court lady's affairs before, it could also be explained that he was weak and incompetent. Now he deliberately used his father to suppress him, which offended everyone. Zhao Huan's rebellious behavior made him intolerable.

   "Your Majesty, Jin Bing asked us to **** the property and women out of the city before dusk, what should we do?"

  Zhao Huan snorted coldly, "Do you think I will send the court ladies and concubines to Jin Bing to ravage?"

  Geng Nanzhong was speechless, and Zhao Huan ordered again: "Declaration of my order, send imperial food to the barracks to reward the three armies. As long as the city of Tokyo is guarded, the soldiers will enjoy five hundred acres of land, and the generals will be promoted to three ranks!"

  At this moment, Zhao Huan changed from a compromising faction to a main fighting faction.

   Not long after, another decree came out from the palace, when he was promoted to Bai Shizhong, he was promoted to Taifu, and transferred to Jiangnan Road Xuanfu envoy.

  Bai Shizhong had no obvious reasons, so of course it was not easy to dismiss the Prime Minister directly, so Zhao Huan used the method of overt promotion and undercover surrender to seize the power of Prime Minister Bai Shizhong.

   Zhao Huan then made another decree to promote Geng Nanzhong to the right minister, and to make peace with Zhongshumen.

  Dusk has come quietly, the sun has already set, but the sky is not yet completely dark, the sky has gradually turned into a deep blue, only a touch of bright yellow that has not faded in the distance, struggling to support the coming of night.

About three miles away from the capital, 50,000 soldiers of the Kingdom of Jin had already lined up neatly, waiting for the order to attack. Among them were ten giant ladders and twenty siege vehicles. Looking at the city complicatedly, this is the second time he attacked it, and the first time he ended in a disastrous defeat, so what about this time?

  However, after full preparation and several months of operation, he already has strong confidence in himself, and he believes that this time he will be able to break through the capital of the Song Dynasty.

   "Marshal Du is here!"

  A soldier shouted from behind, Wanyan Zongwang turned his head, and saw the army step aside one after another, Marshal Du Wanyanxie was also slowly riding towards here under the guard of a thousand cavalry.

  Wan Yan Zongwang hurriedly stepped forward to salute: "See Marshal Du!"

  Wan Yanxie also nodded, looked at the capital in the distance, and asked, "Is there any movement in the city?"

   "If it refers to negotiations, there is no movement, but their army has all gone to the city, and it seems that they are ready to fight us to the death."

  Wanyan Xie also smiled lightly, "It seems that we still need to beat them hard again, only when they are beaten hard, will they listen to me obediently."

   "Is Marshal Du really planning to use negotiations to resolve it?"

  Wan Yanxie also glanced dissatisfied, "Did you forget what I told you?"

Wanyan Zongwang was too frightened to ask any further questions, and Wanyan Xieye said coldly: "Whether it's war, negotiation, or extorting women's property, it's all a means. Our goal is to make the Song Dynasty surrender. The Kingdom of Jin has been completely conquered by us!"

   "The humble job has been thoroughly remembered."

  Wan Yanxie also looked at the sky again, the last smear of bright yellow in the sky had disappeared, and night finally fell, Wanyan Xie also let out a long sigh, "I wanted to set my heart on the bright moon, but the bright moon shines on the ditch, the time is up, attack!"

   "Attack!" Wanyan Zongwang swung his knife and roared.

   ‘Woo-woo-’

  The low sound of antlers echoed in the field, followed by the sound of the golden drum, and the golden soldiers rushed towards the city like a tide, with huge nest carts and ladders wrapped in the middle.

  Wan Yanxie also saw that the army had launched an attack, so he coldly ordered: "Xicheng starts to move!"

The battlefield was extremely tragic. The trebuchet on the top of the city kept waving its long arms, throwing the ignited thunderbolts to the dense enemy army. Fifty thousand golden soldiers ran wildly in the wilderness with shields and swords in their hands. When thunderstorms came roaring from overhead, someone shouted, and all the soldiers around got down one after another, covering their vitals with their shields.

Yan Zongwang has not been idle at the end of the truce negotiations for the past few months. He has been training the soldiers to deal with Zhentianlei. At the same time, he has set up a soldier in each team. Their duty is to keep an eye on Zhentianlei. When thunder was thrown, he yelled out a warning. If the Wanglei soldiers were killed in battle, new recruits would immediately replace him.

The shocking thunder exploded. Although the momentum was terrifying, it did not do much damage to the golden soldiers lying on the ground. Only a dozen people near the explosion point were killed by the shock wave, and the other soldiers were not injured by the shrapnel. After the explosion ended, countless soldiers climbed up again and rushed towards the city.

The outside of Xinzheng Gate has long been completely changed. All the buildings have been demolished, the trees have disappeared, and there are no houses. There is a bare area everywhere. Even the headquarters of Baoyanzhai no longer exists. There are piles of houses everywhere. The dirt and bricks have been deserted for several months, and the weeds have grown wildly, almost half the height of a person.

   There is also a Jinbing barracks stationed here, just on the north bank of Hongqiao, with 20,000 troops. The army here is obviously not for attacking the city, but to prevent the troops in the city from breaking out and King Qin's army from rushing into the city.

At this time, the night was already deep, and the battle drums were rumbling in the direction of the north city wall, and the shouts of killing were loud, but the outside of Xinzheng City was extremely quiet. Perhaps the Song Army also knew that there were too few troops outside the West City, and the West City would not be the main battlefield, so the West City There are not many defensive troops, only more than 4,000 people.

  In fact, the west city really can't open a battlefield, mainly because the Bian River flows not far from the city gate, and there is not much open space for the army to gather on a large scale.

   At this moment, a group of more than a hundred black shadows quickly approached the city gate under the cover of weeds. Each of them held a black thunderbolt in their hands, there were as many as a hundred.

  The defenders on the top of the city did not find them, and soon they were close to the city wall.

   And just one mile outside the west city, a golden army of 30,000 soldiers was ready, hiding in the night, and they could enter the city at any time.
