One Piece of Song Dynasty

When Yelu Dashi heard this, he became furious and suddenly slashed Xiao Bo in half with his sword for disturbing the morale of the army. Yelu Dashi said in a stern voice: "Anyone who dares to dissent again will be killed." The whole army was in awe.

Xiao Qian saw that Yelu Dashi had made up his mind, so he proposed to Xiao Defei to divide his troops. He wanted to lead his team to Jianyan Mountain to conquer the world, and Xiao Defei agreed. Yelu Dashi said: "King Xiao, the Jianyan Mountain area is really too small, and not far to the east is the sea. The counties in the north, west and south have been captured by the Jin army. There is just a pocket. How can you go there?" The only way to survive is to go west."

Xiao Qian smiled and waved goodbye to Concubine Xiao De and Yelu Dashi. They all know in their hearts that this breakup is likely to be a permanent farewell.

"Langjun, Langjun, Concubine Xiao De, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian ran away with the elite of the Liao army last night. Now there are only a hundred officials left in the city. I heard from the Liao soldiers left in the city that the Jin army has already We have occupied Juyong Pass and are about to call Xijin Mansion." Niu San came to report to Liang Xinghui in the morning.

Liang Xing didn't believe it: "What you said is true."

Niu San nodded and said: "It's absolutely true. The Liao soldiers guarding the city this morning were different from the previous days. After asking about it, I found out that Concubine Xiao De and others had run away with them last night. Jin The army has occupied Juyong Pass and will soon arrive at Xijin Mansion."

Liang Xing hurriedly said: "Niu San, go tell the deputy commander and ask him to come over tonight. Since the Jin Army is coming, we have to discuss it."

In the evening, Zhao Yun arrived as promised. Liang Xing said: "Brother Zhao, Concubine Xiao De ran away with her people. There are only a hundred officials left in the city. The Jin people have occupied Juyongguan and are coming soon."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Everyone knows it, but it's a pity that it's not the imperial army that came."

Liang Xing waved his hands and said: "Let's not talk about this for now. It's useless to talk about it. Judging from the situation this time, the Jin army captured four of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom and left Nanjing alone without fighting. It should be with the imperial court. The alliance was reached, but this time the imperial army was too incompetent, so the Jin army launched an attack on Nanjing."

Zhao Yun said: "Yes, what should we do now?"

Liang Xing said thoughtfully: "Let's wait and see the situation after the Jin army enters the city. Now we don't have to move for the time being. By the way, how is Wang Qi's injury?"

Zhao Yun replied: "I can just walk, but I can't walk fast. It will take a while before I'm fully recovered."

Liang Xing said: "When the situation stabilizes, send someone to take him to the adults. Then let Niu San take you there. He is familiar with the road. Don't wait until he is well before sending him away. He is a soldier after all." , it’s all good and we may not be able to control what he thinks.”

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Yes, okay, I understand."

Liang Xing continued: "Okay, now all of us in Xijin Mansion have stopped moving, and we will wait for the Jin Army to arrive for a while."

Zhao Yun replied: "Well, no problem."

In accordance with the agreement with Tong Guan, Jin Taizu sent troops to march to Yanjing on time. The Jin army was divided into three groups: one led by Zong Han towards Nan Ankou, one led by Dalan towards Gubeikou, and the other led by Jin Taizu himself towards Juyong Pass. At the same time, Taizu of the Jin Dynasty issued an edict to inform the officials and people of Yanjing: "Wherever Wang Shi arrives, those who surrender will pardon their sins, and the officials will remain intact."

Zongwang led light cavalry as the vanguard and advanced towards Juyongguan. Juyongguan is in a dangerous situation and is the northwest gate of Yanjing. It has been a battleground for military strategists since ancient times. On this day, the mountain wall of Juyongguan suddenly collapsed for unknown reasons, and the Liao army collapsed without a fight.

On the sixth day of December, Jin Taizu came to Juyongguan to review the army and horses. Jin Taizu and the fourth prince Wanyan Zongbi stood side by side facing the south. The troops and horses lined up neatly on the east, west and south sides for inspection. Zong Han and the generals "were all covered with armor and lined up in two rows, standing facing each other."

After the review, Jin Taizu sent someone to find Ma Kuo and said to him: "I have sent an envoy south with your ambassador, and they must have arrived in Bianjing. I have promised to return Yanjing to Emperor Zhao, and Yanjing is about to be Take it down, you must go with me. All the Fanguan households in the city belong to me, and all the Han households belong to the Southern Dynasty. I have sent people into the city to lure the Khitan and make them surrender. Do you dare to go and summon the Han? Son?"

Ma Kuo replied: "I stay here mainly for military and national affairs, why don't I dare?"

Jin Taizu smiled and said: "If you dare to go and do evil, tomorrow morning, you will go with my envoys."

At night, Jin Taizu suddenly summoned Ma Kuan again and said: "I came here personally to escort the army. I wanted to have a decisive battle with Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army. However, I just received news that he had escaped directly to the east with his concubine. The next day We can enter Yanjing City directly."

In the middle of the night, Jin Taizu suddenly received a report saying that a Song army led by Guo Pharmacist was advancing towards Yanjing. Jin Taizu was very angry when he heard this. He was worried that the Song army would come to Yanjing to snatch the victory.

Jin Taizu sent someone to find Ma Kuo, and said to him angrily: "The imperial concubine and the king of the four armies escaped because they heard that our troops and horses had entered the pass. Tonight, I suddenly heard that your troops and horses also If you want to come to Yanjing to snatch it away, there is nothing good to say about why this is the case."

Ma Kuo didn't know what was going on. He thought for a while and explained: "The envoys of your dynasty and Zhao Liangsi should have arrived in the capital. The imperial court will definitely not allow the army to come to Yanjing to rob it. To take a step back, if our army enters first Yanjing, Yanjing’s affairs are easy to discuss.”

After hearing this, Jin Taizu's expression softened slightly.

Jin Taizu sent people to Xiongzhou overnight and sent a letter to Tong Guan, asking Tong Guan: "Our Jin army is divided into three groups and has surrounded Yanjing. The vanguard army has entered the city. At this moment, your army is Why are you approaching Yanjing? Do you want to come to Yanjing to have some trouble? In line with the principle of friendly cooperation between the two countries, we hope that your army will stop its actions immediately."

Tong Guan sent Guo Yaoshi to lead the army to Yanjing. He originally wanted to honor the agreement, lest the Kingdom of Jin later said that the Song Dynasty had breached the contract and did not send troops to the north. Now, since the Kingdom of Jin does not want the Song army to approach Yanjing, it has no choice but to forget it. The Maritime Alliance has long agreed that even if the Jin army captures Yanjing, it will return it to the Song Dynasty. So Tong Guan immediately sent an order to Pharmacist Guo to stop going north and return to Zhuozhou.

Pharmacist Guo felt very sorry to receive the order because they had arrived at Pangezhuang Town in the south of Yanjing City and could clearly see the walls of Yanjing City.

That night, Prime Minister Zuo Qigong, who was staying in Yanjing City to preside over the government, heard that the Jin army had arrived at the city. He hurriedly summoned all the officials overnight to hold a meeting in the hall of the council hall to discuss how to resist the enemy. Everyone was helpless and helpless.

Zuo Qigong sighed and said, "The matter is now over. In order to save the people of Yanjing from misery, I think we should open the city and surrender."
