When Wu Shu came to the formation, he saw He Guan wearing a golden helmet and golden armor. He immediately raised his sword and his silver whiskers were swaying in the wind. He was indeed strong and full of energy.He couldn't help but praise: "Back then, I heard that he was more than seventy years old and took the lead in the army. Now I see that He Guan is no less generous." So he patted his horse and stepped forward and shouted: "I have heard for a long time that the name of the old Taiwei He is the master of Shexia people. He rode on his back and rode behind him. He shot an arrow from a Liao man and hit a stone but missed the cluster. He squared the wax and captured the bag of the bandit commander Lu Shi. When he saw it today, it turned out that he had no false reputation. I just don’t know if the old Taiwei dared to fight with him. Let me fight, how about I learn the methods?"

After Wu Shu said these words, He Ji was about to go out to fight, but was stopped by He Guan.He Guan jumped on his horse and came out of the battle. He laughed loudly and said, "I have been on the battlefield for decades and killed countless generals in front of the battle. I have never been defeated. If you, a Tatar, want to try my methods, please come forward with your head!" After saying that, he ordered the generals on the left and right to suppress the formation, while he slapped his horse and wielded his sword, directly using Wu skills.

When Wu Shu also saw He Guan coming to fight, he also opened his golden sword and went up to meet him. He only heard the clanging of two big swords in one place.Although He Guan is old, he has superb swordsmanship, while Wu Shu is young and powerful, which is tit for tat with him.The two fought for fifty or sixty years, but still couldn't decide the outcome.

Seeing that it was almost noon, Wu Shu made a feint with his sword, drew his horse and jumped out of the circle, saying: "It's almost noon, you and I will take a short rest for the time being, and we will fight again after a good meal."

Although He Guan was brave, he was old and weak. At this time, he felt that it was difficult to maintain his strength, so he said: "As you said, we will fight later." The two of them withdrew their troops and returned to their camps.

Wu Shu returned to the camp and said to his surroundings: "Although He Guan is old, he is extremely brave!"

At this time, the general Asa said: "We have been ordered by Erlangjun to quickly break through Tokyo before the reinforcements of the Song army arrive. How can we attack Tokyo with so few troops? What can we do if we can attack it with a large army?"

Wu Shu replied: "That makes sense, but I love his bravery. I will fight him again in the afternoon. If he loses, I will attack him with a large army."

After the two armies had lunch, Wu Shu went out to the camp again to fight with He Guan. The two fought until dark, but they were still indistinguishable, so they went back to their camps.

Back in the camp, He Guan said to the generals on the left and right: "I can't fight with Wushu today. I will make a surprise attack at night and steal the camp. I will send the order down and take strict precautions." The generals on the left and right agreed and retreated to make arrangements for each camp.

After Wushu returned to the camp, he received a handwritten letter from Wanyan Zongwang, ordering him to make a surprise attack at night. So he waited until late at night, and raised three thousand elite soldiers, with Asa as the vanguard, leading the army, and himself as the military governor behind him. He attacked the camp.

Although He Guan ordered all the troops to guard the camp, they were helplessly outnumbered by the Jin army. In a moment, they were broken through the camp and rushed into it. He could only hear the people around him shouting and horses neighing, and the fire was shooting into the sky.He Guan led his left and right generals with their backs against the city wall and fought a bloody battle with the Jin army.Although Li Gang ordered people to assist on the city, because the Jin army was not attacking the city, but wanted to kill all the Heguan defenders, the Song soldiers and Jin soldiers were fighting in a melee, but the bows and arrows at the top of the city were at a loss.

He Guan led his generals to fight the enemy to the death all day and night. He suffered dozens of arrow and gunshot wounds on his body. His robes were already stained with blood, and it was difficult to sustain his strength.At this time, Asa saw He Guan from a distance. He immediately jumped on his horse, picked up the mace in his hand, and struck him with the stick.He Guan raised his sword and tried his best to resist, but he didn't want to fight all day and night. In addition, he lost too much blood and his hands were weak and couldn't stop him. Asa knocked him off his horse with a stick, and then struck another blow, beating his big head to pieces. It was pitiful. The veteran fought hundreds of battles in his life, but he ended up like this.

When generals Han Zong and Lei Yanxing saw their coach being killed, they were filled with grief and anger and killed several Jin generals before returning to Malaysia to fetch Asa.But he was blocked by Wu Shu and Asa. Within a few seconds, he was struck with a stick and slashed by a knife, and he was beheaded under the horse.

In the distance, He Ji saw his father died tragically and his generals were killed. His eyes were filled with tears. He didn't care about life and death. He drew his gun to fight Wu Shu, but Asa caught him. The arrow sounded like a shooting star at the sound of the string, hitting He Ji's throat, causing him to turn over and fall off his horse to death.

The commander-in-chief and all the generals were dead. Although the remaining Song soldiers resisted desperately, they were not as elite as the Jin soldiers and were quickly killed.

The news of He Guan's death in battle reached the court, and Emperor Qinzong became even more panicked, so he became more determined to negotiate for peace.

On the Jinying side, Li Yue and others were panicked when they heard that He Guan was defeated and died. Wanyan Zongwang took the opportunity to order Xiao Sanbaonu, Li Yue and others to enter the city to meet the saint.In the Jinluan Hall, Xiao Sanbao's slave demanded 500 million taels of gold, 5000 million taels of silver, [-] oxen, horses and mules, [-] camels, and millions of variegated cloths, and cut off the three towns of Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan.He also said that Qin Zong must respect the Emperor of Jin as his uncle, take the gift of son-nephew, and take the prince and prime minister as pledges, and send the Jin army north to cross the Yellow River before peace can be negotiated.

After hearing this, all the ministers became excited and scolded the Jin people for being greedy. Only Emperor Qinzong stood up to all the opinions and granted all the Jin people's requests.He also ordered everyone in Tokyo to search for all the gold and silver. Anyone who dared to hide it privately would be punished under military law.

As soon as the imperial edict came out, the entire Bianjing city was in a panic. All the gold, silver, cloth and silk from the homes of officials and people were taken away without leaving any trace.In the end, 20 taels of gold and 400 million taels of silver were obtained, and the people were empty.

At this time, the King of Su, Zhao Shu, and the King of Kang, Zhao Gou, were living in the capital. Therefore, Emperor Qinzong sent a decree to appoint King Kang as the envoy to the army, and Prime Minister Zhang Bangchang as his deputy. He called the Kingdom of Jin the "Great Jin Kingdom", and wrote a peace treaty, which was sent to Jinying together.

When Li Gang was guarding the city, he received a message from the court and hurriedly entered the palace to face the saint and said: "The Jin people are greedy and rewarded the master with coins and silk. There are so many coins that even if they exhaust all the wealth in the world, they will not be able to count them. What's more? Kyoto is one city? Taiyuan, Hejian, and Zhongshan are called three towns, but they have more than ten counties and counties under their jurisdiction, and they are all dangerous places. They are battlegrounds for military strategists. If it is ceded to the Jin people, how will our country establish a country? Besides, It is also the location of the mausoleum of His Majesty's ancestors. How can we give it to others? As for sending envoys, the prime minister can go there, but the prince is of the holy lineage and must not go there! As for today's plan, it is better to send envoys to negotiate with the Jin people and explain to the Jin people. The quantity of silk is too much, so long-term planning is needed. If it takes a few days, King Qin's army will arrive. The Jin army goes deep alone. Seeing the strength of our army, they will not dare to stay. They only want to return quickly and make an alliance with us, otherwise they will not dare Underestimating the power of the Song Dynasty, a matter of harmony can last a long time."

Li Bangyan and others on the side were afraid of fighting and made sarcastic remarks. Yungu City was difficult to defend, and they were afraid that the capital would fall before reinforcements arrived, which would harm His Majesty.Emperor Qinzong didn't understand, and after hearing the traitor's plan, he comforted Li Gang and said: "You are responsible for guarding the city. Please go out to control the troops first to prevent the Jin people from invading. We will discuss the matter later."

Li Gang further advised: "Everything the Jin people ask for, the court will grant it regardless of everything. This is just a temporary disaster. If the Jin people go south again in the future, what will the court ask for? Your Majesty, please consider it carefully, otherwise you will regret it." Jiya!"

But at this time, Emperor Qinzong had already made up his mind, and there was no room for him to say anything more, so he wrote an oath and sent someone to Jinying.

Seeing that what had happened, Li Gang had no choice but to resign from the court, and then caught up with the envoy, ordering him to leave the edict of ceding the three towns behind and wait for the arrival of King Qin's army before making any plans.

Just when Li Gang was worried about the emperor's weakness and the disgrace of the peace treaty, good news finally came from outside the city.The army on the west route led by Zhong Shidao, the re-appointed envoy of Hebei Zhongshidao of the Gyeonggi Province, and Yao Gu, the military envoy of Xihe, were approaching Bianjing, and King Qin's divisions from various places were gradually gathering. Suddenly, the main force of the Song army outside the city had 20 Thousands of people, several times the number that came to attack the Jin army.Emperor Qinzong also got the news, so he suspended the discussion with Jin Ren and urgently summoned Zhong Shidao to the city to discuss the matter.
