Chapter 10 Yingzhou
Before Emperor Shenzong came to the throne, he was named King Ying by Emperor Yingzong. The word "Ying" in King Ying refers to Yingzhou.
Later, in the sixth year of Zhenghe, Emperor Huizong promoted Yingzhou to one level as usual and changed its name to Shunchang Mansion because Yingzhou was the late residence of his father.
Later, when the Jin came, they still called it Yingzhou.
Last June, Liu Qi defeated the Jin army here. To this day, you can still see mottled bloodstains and numerous knife marks on the city wall.
Wanyan Wushu arrived here last year and promised to seize the city in one day.
As a result, he was driven back to Kaifeng Mansion in despair, and was almost driven north by Yue Fei.
If it weren't for the powerful power of the fourth prince, who killed the lord of the court and a group of Jin ministers before going south last time, and now that the Jin Kingdom has become his sway, I am afraid that the Song Dynasty would have been returned to the Song people because of this battle.< /p>
Even so, the pressure to complete Yan Wushu is also very high.
Everyone understands that the Jin Kingdom is not the Jin Kingdom of the past, and the Southern Dynasty is not the Southern Dynasty of the past.
Although he wholeheartedly sought war, he had to bow to the situation and temporarily accepted the peace negotiation proposal with the Song Dynasty.
The two countries reached a peace agreement, and although Zhang Tonggu died, it was not an unacceptable thing.
The emperor of the Southern Dynasty needs to establish his power, just let him do it.
It will be the same after a few years of repairs and then asking him to get the money back with interest.
In this way, Wanyan Wushu went north from Kaifeng to Zhending Mansion. Before he left the Yanyun Land, Qin Hui died and told himself to be careful. News of the Song people's betrayal of the alliance came one after another.< /p>
Back then, he followed Wanyan Aguda and several of his brothers, and they conquered east and west, becoming unrivaled in the world.
Wanyan Wushu is completely different from those descendants of the Jin Kingdom who are greedy for pleasure. He knows that there are some things in this world that cannot be talked about.
But he never expected that the cowardly emperor of the Zhao family would change his normal behavior, not even giving up his reputation, and act so quickly.
But it is precisely because of this that the voices seeking peace have been silenced.
Without even asking his own emperor's opinion, Jin Wushu led his troops back to Kaifeng.
When people from the Song Dynasty came to the north, they came as soon as they came. He was holding back his anger and had no place to vent it.
Although he received the news in advance that he needed to be on guard, he actually didn't take it too seriously. He just gave the instructions and the various state governments also put on a show.
Now that the two Huai and several states were lost, he sent three kings and fifty thousand horses to Yingzhou.
As for him, he continued to sit in Kaifeng, waiting for Yue Fei to come to him.
Last time, I rushed into the battle and was caught off guard.
Now that he was fully prepared, he really didn't believe that the Jurchens who were sweeping the world would lose to the Southerners.
As for the rumor that the Emperor of Song Dynasty personally led the troops, I knew it was false as soon as I heard it.
If that person had such courage, why would he stay in a corner in the south now?
Could it be that he didn’t want to do it before?
It’s just that I don’t have the courage or the ability.
So until now, the Jin Kingdom's attention in the Central Plains is still only on Yue Fei... If there is anyone else, it is Liu Qi.
For the rest, even Han Shizhong, as long as he doesn't have a water fight with him, the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom is not afraid.
Speaking of Yingzhou, King Longhu Wanyan Tuhesu and King Gaitian Wanyan Saili saw with their own eyes how Yue Fei and his generals killed people last time in Yancheng. The famous general of the Jin Army who got up in the middle of the road can't help but feel a little frightened when he recalls it now.
Anyway, it is difficult to defeat the Yue Family Army. This time Wanyan Wushu specially sent them to Yingzhou... They also don’t believe that there can be a second person like Yue Fei in the Song Dynasty.
If that's the case, just shoot a bird and go back to catch fish.
The other one... is slightly worse than these two.
These two people were just frightened by Yue Fei. This Han Chang, the king of the country, was a serious leader of all households. There were no more than three Han people who could occupy his position in the Jin Kingdom.
He was there during Yancheng, and he was also there during Tuogao. On the eve of this southern invasion, when the Jin army was about to win its only victory over Zhang Jun, he also lost to Han Shizhong in Haozhou. .
All the wars he participated in were lost.
But now, Wanyan Wushu still sent him to Yingzhou, which shows how much he values this person.
Of course, he values him, and Tu Hesu and Saili don't like him because they don't like him.
Who calls him a Han?
Even though he is the deputy marshal now and the two of them have to be controlled by him, the contempt from the heart still exists after all.
At this time, it was such a scene. Han Chang did not have the air of a general of an army at all. When he talked to the two of them, they seemed to be indifferent.
Not to mention the sudden speed, Wanyan was the first fierce general in the row from Lou's house. When he was in battle, he would lead his cavalry into the battle, kill the general and hold the flag. When he followed Wanyan Zonghan to attack Taiyuan, he shocked the entire Song Dynasty by killing Zhongshi in Xiongling. Yes, it’s this one.
Even Saili, although his official title is Prime Minister You, is still a person who has achieved great achievements from the corpses of countless Liao people.
It's normal for them to look down on Han Chang.
Han Chang had been in the Kingdom of Jin for many years, and he had become somewhat resigned to these things, but he didn't care too much. At this time, the three kings stood at the top of the city, looking at the Yingzhou City together.
"According to the previous arrangements of the Southern Dynasties, the person running Xinyang and Guangzhou this time will undoubtedly be Uncle Liu Xin."
This man’s reputation is known to everyone in the Jin Kingdom. Saili smiled and said:
"That's it, we don't need to worry too much... The fourth prince asked me to wait for the opportunity this time. With three of us and fifty thousand troops, can't we still defend this city?"
What he said is indeed true. After the last series of defeats, the main force of the Jin Kingdom only had 90,000 people left.
Ninety thousand people are definitely not enough to fight on three fronts.
Fortunately, the Han people are the largest in the world, and there are also many Liao people, as well as various tribes captured from the grasslands...
Although these people are ineffective, their numbers are not much different.
And among these 50,000 people, 30,000 are serious Jurchens. Wanyan Wushu is so willing to give up. Firstly, the identities of the three of them are there. Secondly, it also shows that Yingzhou must not make any mistakes.<
/p>
Third, as Liu Bang thought, they not only wanted to defend the city, but also cut off people's retreat.
Tu Hesu looked at the sparse crowd below: "Last time, the southern bandit was guarding the city, and now we are guarding the city. This time is different from the past. Even if he comes again, I will definitely take his head and give it to the fourth prince.
”
"Speaking of which..." Han Chang said with a smile on his face: "Why did your Majesty kidnap those people today? After all, Yingzhou is governed by our dynasty, and they are also ours..."
Before he finished speaking, Tu Hesu interrupted him: "The marshal also knows that the fourth prince was defeated here last time, and the biggest accomplices were these unruly people from the Southern Dynasty!"
"Now that the two countries are at war, if we don't arrest them, what will we do if they collude with the Song people and make us cooperate internally and externally?"
Han Chang was interrupted and paused before speaking again:
"I have also considered this matter. The people of Yingzhou hate Uncle Liu Xin deeply. They all hate him for breaking his oath and want to eat his flesh alive."
"Why don't we accept them and use them, just like Uncle Liu Xin used them in the past, so that they can work for me, Dajin?"
"Hey..." Saili waved his hand, "These southerners are useless, how can they help us?"
"Marshal, don't worry about these trivial matters. It's better to focus on running the army. After all, we all have to obey your orders."
"Besides, when I patrolled the city today, I clearly saw the temple they built for Uncle Liu Xin. These people, instead of thinking about my great work, they still think about Uncle Liu Xin... If the marshal feels that he is short of manpower, I will
Write a letter to the fourth prince and ask him to send more people, so there is no need to settle for these people."
None of them let go. Han Chang sighed softly in his heart and said:
"The temple was only half built, and the people of Yingzhou did not offer sacrifices. On the contrary, they even spat when they passed by, and so on..."
"Marshal!" Tu Hesu looked directly into his eyes, "You are the general of Dajin now. Don't think too much about other things, lest you cause yourself some trouble."
These words obviously contained some threats, and Han Chang was not a vegetarian either. He and Tu Hesu looked at each other, both of them seemed to want to bite each other.
Seeing the situation was a little awkward, Saili was a wise general after all, so he rushed out to smooth things over:
"Don't be upset, Marshal, and don't be angry, Your Majesty. The three of us are all dedicated to serving the country, and we must not create any rift over this."
After saying that, he lowered his head and said: "In this way, we will keep them in custody for now. When we leave Yingzhou in the future, it will be the same if the king lets them go."
"Humph!"
Tu Hesu snorted coldly, turned around and left without saying whether he would answer or not.
Selila couldn't hold him back and said to Han Chang again:
"You also know that he has such a temper."
Han Chang didn't say anything, but just watched Tu He quickly walk down the tower, and the people below took cover one after another.
Like a frightened cat, scurrying around.
