Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Zong Han said without any hesitation, "Your Highness, I fought a battle with the Song Army in Shangdang."

"Oh?"

"lost heavily."

The expression on Wanyan Gao's face slowly froze.

Zong Han continued: "I only brought back more than 1 people."

"Where is Song Jun?"

Zong Han said in a deep voice: "The loss is also great, no less than ours."

Wanyan Gao stood up, and he fell into deep thought.

"Why is this happening!"

Wan Yangao did not blame Zong Han, Zong Han can be said to be the number one hero in the founding of the Jin Kingdom. He fought the Southern and Northern Wars for Agu, and also opened up the territory for the dynasty.

He wouldn't blame Zong Han, nor did he have the confidence to blame him.

Wanyan Gao just couldn't figure it out, with Zong Han's talent, he would fight Song Jun in such a situation?

Wanyan Gao seemed to be a little paler, he was not in good health, he was as thin as a stick, and he also had a cough.

"Zong Han, what's going on?"

In Wanyan Gao's pretendingly calm tone, there was hidden anxiety that could not be concealed.

Behind this is not the anxiety about the Song army, but the anxiety about the politics of the Jin Dynasty.

If it was Wushu who made the situation like this, it's okay to say that Jin Wushu's position in the army at this time was not considered top.

But the commander-in-chief of the whole army, the marshal who went south in an all-round way this time, made the battle into this situation.

He had even thought about the faces of the peace faction in the court, especially Zongwang, he would definitely stand up and make trouble.

Zong Han said: "I am fighting against the Emperor Song's imperial guards. This army is stronger than I imagined."

"The news from Lou Shi said that the Song Army defeated his cavalry on the left, which led to the collapse of the battle. The Song Army used the tactic of cutting the horse's legs, and yours too?"

"No, the armored infantry formed by the Song Army."

"In this way, the combat effectiveness of the Song army is really increasing?"

"It is indeed increasing." Zong Han sighed, "But this is also related to the personal conquest of the emperor of Song Dynasty, and the morale of the Song army has greatly increased."

"The emperor of the Song Dynasty personally marched?" Wanyan Gao was confused now, "The emperor of the Song Dynasty you are talking about is Zhao Huan?"

Zong Han was slightly taken aback, and said, "Who else is there besides him?"

"However, not long ago, I just received news from Zongfu that Zhao Huan died in battle, and now Zhao Ji has succeeded to the throne, and I proposed a peace agreement with him on the condition that he cedes Hedong, Hebei, and Jingdong East Road, and withdraws all Song troops."

When Zong Han heard this, he was also confused.

Zhao Huan died in battle?

This news is a bit big!

Zong Han said, "When did Zongfu's news come?"

"Just five days ago."

"The battle between me and Emperor Song was on February 25th, if so..."

Wanyan Gao's eyes lit up, and he said: "Could it be that Shangdang fought, and Zhao Huan died in Shangdang?"

Now it seems to make sense, Wanyan Gao was still puzzled when he heard the news reported by Zongfu.

Zong Han took a deep breath, which he never expected.

He said a little excitedly: "We can't rule out this possibility. The fight was very fierce at that time, and it was snowing heavily. The emperor of Song Dynasty was weak and may have died of illness."

In this way, although I seem to have suffered a heavy loss, I actually killed the emperor of the Song Dynasty who was the main battle?

Thinking of this, Zong Han suddenly felt that he had really won the big prize!

Wanyan Gao also immediately swept away the haze in his heart.

The emperor of the Song Dynasty was killed by Zong Han. Although Zong Han suffered a heavy loss this time, the peacemakers in the court have nothing to say!

Zong Han suddenly felt that the whole situation had been turned upside down. He had learned that there were many Song Dynasty soldiers and civilians in Taiyuan Mansion, and he felt that the situation had become very bad.

When he returned to Yanjing this time, he wanted to discuss with Wan Yan Gao, revive the army, and go directly south to Shangdang. Taking advantage of the heavy losses of the Song army, he continued to fight, and even defeated Luoyang.

But he didn't expect that the tough emperor of the Song Dynasty died suddenly, Zhao Ji, who was greedy for life and afraid of death, came to power, and the letter of credence for land cession and compensation came.

Happiness comes too suddenly.

"The Wushu army is currently being repaired in Zhending Mansion. Zongfu said that he will rectify it on the eastern front. Since the Song Kingdom ceded those places, he will come back later than expected."

He asked Zong Han again: "Since the Song Dynasty has already ceded the territory, should Shaanxi still fight?"

Wanyan Zonghan said: "We pretended not to know the letter of cession from the emperor of the Song Dynasty before it was sent to us, and at this time there was still a Song army besieging Taiyuan Mansion. You can also use Taiyuan Song Army as an example.”

"what do you mean?"

"Continue to attack Shaanxi, and completely wipe out the Song army in Shaanxi before the Song Guoguo is sent over, so as to avoid future troubles."

"Okay!" Wanyan Gao also became excited, "But Zongfu's army may be delayed for two months, you first organize a group of troops, lead Wushu, and enter Shaanxi together."

"What about Taiyuan?"

"The Song army can't attack Taiyuan for a while. The most important thing now is Shaanxi. Before the Song Dynasty surrenders the letter of credence, wipe out all the Song troops in Shaanxi, and remove the biggest stumbling block for the future unification of the Central Plains."

Zong Han thought for a while, and felt that it made sense: "Okay, I will use the art of transmission of orders."

"By the way, this time you suffered a heavy loss in Shangdang, if it is reported back to Shangjing, people will definitely give you an excuse. It was only at that time that Zhao Huanyu personally led the conquest, so the morale of the Song army was strong, and it was possible to fight you for this. situation?"

"The endurance of this Song army is much stronger than the Song army I have seen before, and the most important thing is that the Song army sent out an armored cavalry at that time, which turned the tide of the battle."

"Song people also use cavalry?" Wan Yangao's tone was a little dignified.

Wanyan Zongwang has been advocating in the court that the Han people have abundant martial arts, it is very difficult for the Jin Dynasty to destroy the Song Dynasty, and the large-scale continuous use of troops against the Song Dynasty will only make the Song Dynasty stronger and stronger.

If things go on like this, the Kingdom of Jin will be consumed.

The potential hidden dangers of Jin Kingdom include Xixia and the Mughal people in the grassland.

Zong Wang's argument that the Han people had abundant martial virtues was dismissed by the main combat faction.

But now it seems that Zongwang's statement may not be wrong.

Both Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zonghan realized at this time that the military strength of the Song Army was gradually increasing.

The clues can be seen from the two major battles in Shaanxi and Shangdang.

Fortunately, the emperor of the Song Dynasty was fatuous and offered to negotiate peace and cede land.

"It seems that some of Zongwang's arguments are also reasonable." Wan Yangao said with emotion, "It's a good thing that Zhao Ji is stupid, otherwise, we would be very troublesome."

Zong Han said: "Then it is even more necessary to wipe out Shaanxi as soon as possible, lest the Song Dynasty go back on its word. As long as Shaanxi is destroyed, the Song Dynasty will no longer be able to resist!"

"So, act quickly!" Wanyan Gao's expression recovered a lot.

As soon as he finished speaking, a voice came from outside: "Your Highness, the Deputy Marshal Zongfu of Hejian Prefecture has sent a military report!"

Chapter 163 The Attitude of the Court of the Kingdom of Jin ([-]nd update)

As soon as Wanyan Gao heard that Zongfu's military report had arrived, he immediately became excited again.

In Wanyan Gao's mind, Zongfu's current situation is very good, so what he sent is undoubtedly good news.

After reading Zongfu's military report, Wan Yangao froze the smile on his face, then slowly darkened, and finally turned livid.

Zong Han said: "Your Highness, what's the matter?"

Wanyan Gao coughed violently, spat out a mouthful of blood, and then fell headfirst.

"Your Highness!" Zong Han quickly supported Wan Yan Gao, "Come on! Come on!"

Wanyan Gao herself was weak and sick.

Seeing Zongfu's military report, he was so out of breath on the spot that he vomited blood and passed out.

Zongfu not only sent a military report to Yanjing, but also sent a copy to Zongwang who went to Beijing.

On March 25, Shangjing received Zongfu's military report.

For a moment, the battle on the Eastern Front shocked the entire Jin Dynasty.

The one hundred thousand army collapsed, which has never happened before.

Even the Lou Shi in Shaanxi has [-] left, so they gathered and confronted the Song army in Shaanxi.

Of course, the first thing Zongfu did when he returned to Hejian Mansion was to beat Wan Yanchang severely.

After the beating, Yanchang cried and called his mother, even his underpants were almost blown away!

In Zongfu's military newspaper, more than half of the responsibility for the defeat was put on Wan Yanchang.

But not only the third crown prince Zongfu wrote a letter to his second brother Zongwang, Wan Yanchang also wrote a letter to Zongwang.

However, Wan Yanchang shifted the responsibility to Zongfu, thinking that Zongfu's strategy of taking Fucheng was the root of all mistakes.

Two people insist on their own words.

But now the Jin Guochaotang in Shangjing is not discussing who is responsible, but the situation of the Song Army on the Eastern Front.

Zongfu said that he was attacked by the Song army who was wearing golden armor all the way.

Wan Yanchang also said that he was attacked by the Song army who was wearing the armor of the golden army all the way.

So the question is, why does the Song army have golden armor and how many people are there?

In the information about the Song Army that Yanjing gave to Shangjing before, the coach of the Eastern Front was Li Gang.

Jin Guochaotang unanimously believed that the eastern front was the best to fight, because the Song army on the eastern front was very weak. Although Li Gang was in charge, it did not have strong troops.

Now it seems that this estimate was wrong and went to grandma's house.

How many Song troops are there on the Eastern Front?

This is related to the issue of whether to send troops to support the Eastern Front.

But now it involves the support of Lou Shi on the western front.

Therefore, Jin Guochaotang returned to the question of whether to fight the Eastern Front or the Western Front.

Zongfu also revealed another important thing in the military newspaper: Emperor Zhao Huan of the Song Dynasty died at the front line, Zhao Ji was restored, and sent envoys to send the letter of peace and cede land for compensation.

This made the aristocrats of the Kingdom of Jin in Shangjing even more question marks.

Good guy, while ceding the land, I smashed Lao Tzu's [-] troops?

What kind of play did the Song Dynasty play?

In the end, the second prince Wanyan Zongwang concluded: Zongfu was fooled by the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty promised to negotiate a peace on the surface, in order to paralyze him and take the opportunity to sneak attack.

This is the only way to explain the current situation.

So Jin Guochaotang basically accepted Zongwang's statement.

Then, someone from Jin Guochaotang proposed to blame the Song Dynasty: Since you have already proposed a peace and continued to fight, what about the integrity of your Central Plains Dynasty, continue to send troops!

Everyone felt that they had been played by the Great Song Dynasty, so they immediately prepared to mobilize internally, and used fierce words to show everyone the despicable and shameless side of the Great Song Dynasty, so as to arouse the anger of the Jin army and improve morale.

But on March 28, that is, the fourth day after Zongfu's military report arrived in Beijing, an urgent report came from Yanjing.

As soon as Yanjing's urgent report came, Shangjing suddenly fell into a dead silence.

Yanjing's urgent report is very simple, mainly talking about two things:

[-]. Wanyan Gao is in a coma and is dying.

[-]. Zong Han suffered a setback and lost [-] troops.

The collapse of the [-] troops on the Eastern Front has already caused a wave of waves in Shangjing, and these two urgent reports came from Yanjing.

Each of these two urgent reports is worse than the collapse of the [-] troops on the Eastern Front!

Who is Wanyan Zonghan?

It's the commander-in-chief of the whole army!

It is the Jin Guochaotang's firm Song Dynasty extermination faction!

He is the number one hero in the founding of the Kingdom of Jin.
