Chapter 311 Conditions for peace talks
At this time, the emperor and the minister Sun Fu finally decided not to wait any longer. They ordered Liu Wuji to summon heavenly soldiers and generals to destroy the Jin people outside the city.
Liu Wuji had called some hooligans and lied that they were all heavenly soldiers and generals. Liu Wuji took them to the city wall and watched the Jin people siege the city still talking nonsense: "These I have invited are heavenly soldiers and generals. If they are absolutely necessary, they cannot attack when it is crucial."
In this way, they tricked from the north to the west and from the south to the east. Finally, they found that the Xuanhua Sect was in an emergency and could be compromised at any time. Sun Fu immediately begged Liu Wuji to send troops.
Liu Wuji had no choice but to open the Xuanhua Gate, hid behind him, and let his so-called heavenly soldiers and generals attack.
These people were defeated in one battle, and were defeated by the Jin people. Their bodies were about to fill the moat. Sun Fu was so scared that he was deserted and asked Zhang Shuye to come forward to help.
Liu Wuji could no longer pretend, so he said tremblingly: "You wait and wait for me to do it!" As he said that, he ran down the city wall and ran away.
Zhang Shuye didn't care about blaming Sun Fu anymore, and quickly led his men to grab the city gate. He Guan, the guards who came with Sun Fu, led his subordinates to rush up to the city to help resist.
The Jin people finally saw this opportunity and were reluctant to miss it. They rushed up like crazy.
General Wanyan Huo rushed into the city with the first move. The big sword in his hand danced like flying, and the heads fell to the ground, and soon rushed into the city.
Uncle Zhang was fighting here with his two sons, and he was facing Wanyan Huo’s girl. This Wanyan Huo’s girl was so powerful that she was in a fierce way, and the impact of the war horse under her crotch made him fight out a bloody path, and the Jin people began to swarm into the city.
When Sun Fu saw that it was not good, he quickly called He Guan to protect himself to retreat. He Guan rushed down from the city and took Sun Fu away, but they just walked away without a few steps, and they heard the sound of horse hooves behind them.
When He Guan saw that it was the enemy general Wanyan Huowo, he gritted his teeth and said, "Sir Sun, go quickly! I'll block him!" As he said that, he turned his head and rushed back.
"Damn!" The two of them just touched for a moment, and He Guan almost fell off the horse. Wanyan Huo's woman showed her power and her big sword danced like a windmill. He Guan was so tired that she was dizzy after seven or eight rounds. As a result, she was not careful and was knocked down by him with one knife.
"Father!" He Huan in the distance looked at Ya Zi and almost fell off his horse. He gritted his teeth and bent his bow and shot it with an arrow.
"Puff!" The arrow hit Wanyan Huo's shoulder. He covered his wound and retreated. He Huan was still going to chase him, but was pulled back by his subordinates.
Xuanhua could not hold on, and Zhang Shuye was also seriously injured and fled in panic under the protection of his two sons.
This point was broken through, and a chain reaction was formed. The Song Dynasty was defeated everywhere, and the entire outer city was lost in a short time. Liu Yu had to re-arrange his defenses in the inner city.
After half a day of fighting, the Jin people finally killed the dispersed Song army. They had no defense ability and were prosperous in front of them, and they made them look to Kaifeng, where they dreamed of. Although this was just an outer city and was all ordinary people, the prosperity of them also made them look sideways.
"As long as I promise, I won't seal the sword within three days. Whatever I can grab here is my great Jin Guolang and the warriors who help me!"
"Long live! Long live!" Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang ordered, and the Jin people cheered, and they rushed into the outer city in a swarm.
Tens of thousands of troops were scattered into the outer city of Kaifeng, as if another bucket of water was poured into the pond and it soon melted into it.
There were a lot of shouting and killing gods in the outer city of Kaifeng Prefecture, screaming and fires soaring into the sky, just like hell on earth.
Not only did Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan not only did not stop it, but instead indulged in the fire to condone such things. They wanted to use this action to warn the rulers of the Song Dynasty, make them afraid and submit to the emperor.
This approach really worked. There was chaos in Kaifeng City, and the surrender factions even advocated that it was like the end of the world, and the people in Kaifeng City were also panic.
That night, the golden men returned to their camp with a satisfied expression. They snatched back a lot of gold, silver, livestock and beauties, and then returned to their tent to enjoy it.
"Report to the two marshals, after breaking through the city today, our army went to the city to rob, and more than a thousand people did not return to the team."
Wanyan Zonghan asked with his face: "Are we Jin people, Bohai people or Song people?"
"All of them are, we Jin people account for half!" The guard lowered his head and reported.
Wanyan Zonghan was furious and said, "What a bastard! Close the camp gate, and all the beheads of those who come back tomorrow will be hung up! I want people to know the consequences of disobeying the military order!"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "You don't have to be harsh, brother, you can finally vent your heart. It's common for you to forget the time for a while, or go far away. It's inevitable that you will be killed by all of them."
Wanyan Zonghan looked at Wanyan Zongwang and said, "Orubu, you, the prince of Bodhisattva, are too soft-hearted. This is not what the leader should have. Military discipline is the foundation of an army, and no one can violate it. Otherwise, what is the difference between our army and the weak Song people?"
Wanyan Zongwang didn't say anything. He smiled slightly and turned around and left. Wanyan Zonghan ordered people to block the four city gates in Kaifeng and prepare to start plundering.
The imperial city was already in chaos, and Zhao Huan completely lost confidence in resistance and was ready to surrender to the Jin people. Liu Wei fought with reason and was bombarded out of the Jin Palace.
Mei Zhili, the Minister of Revenue, persuaded the emperor to personally fight, and asked the Empress, the Empress, the Empress, and the Crown Prince to avoid it, and those who were in charge of the work were frustrated. This angered Zhao Huan. He dared to fight with the Jin people, and his little affection for Mei Zhili to take charge of money and food was gone.
This time, the lords and factions completely gained the upper hand, but none of them would be willing to anger the Jin people at this time, so they unanimously recommended the Minister of Revenue Mei Zhili to negotiate with the Jin people.
"Accurate! Let Chen Zhizhi and Cheng Zhen go with Mei Zhili as the deputy envoy!" Zhao Huan snorted coldly, and then announced his retreat to the palace.
The peacemakers cheered in their hearts. These two guys were Mei Zhili's best friends, which immediately marked the complete end of Mei Zhili.
Mei Zhili sighed and returned to her home helplessly. When she heard the decision of the official family, Liu Wei was extremely sad and angry. She got drunk that night and then hanged herself at home.
This caused a chain reaction, and Liu Ziyu no longer had the mood to resist the Jin Dynasty. He cried several times and was determined to keep his soul for his father.
Mei Zhi and others worshipped Liu Wei, then came to the city and asked them to use hanging baskets to send them outside the city to meet Wanyan Zonghan.
As a result, when they arrived at the camp gate, they saw dozens of bloody heads hanging on high poles. Judging from their appearance, these people were from Song and Bohai. I don’t know what they did and were killed.
Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan were also wondering that there were more than 1,000 missing yesterday, and in the end, only these surrendered Song people and Bohai people came back. What about the 500-year-old sons?
Just when they were puzzled, the guards came to report that an envoy from the Song Dynasty came to pay their respects. The two of them looked at each other and saw hope for victory.
Wanyan Zonghan slapped the table suddenly and said, "Put the oil pan for me and bring some envoys from the Song Dynasty in."
"Yes!" The guards agreed and began to get busy.
Mei Zhili and the other two waited for a long time before they were brought in. As soon as they arrived at the door of the Golden People's tent, they smelled a choking smell of hot oil.
Mei Zhili looked calm, but Chen Zhizhi, Cheng Zhen was so scared that his face turned pale. Mei Zhili stepped forward, looked inside, and then asked the Jin Bing beside him, "Liao Jia, what do you want to treat us?"
"Ah!" Several golden men looked at each other, Mei Zhili laughed, and then walked into the golden man's tent with great strides.
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang sat in the middle, next to them were all kinds of Jin generals, one by one, like a cow head and a horse face in a temple, waiting fiercely for Mei Zhili and the other three.
Chen Zhizhi and Cheng Zhen were so scared that they were trembling. Mei took the lily and stood proudly.
"Kneel down!" The Jin soldiers pointed at the two and shouted loudly. Chen Zhizhi and Cheng Zhen knelt down with a pounce, and Mei Zhili said without moving: "I am the envoy of His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, how can I kneel down to your generals in the foreign countries?"
Wanyan Zonghan sneered: "I really don't know what's wrong! You Song people are all a group of idiots! Haven't you figured out the situation yet? You are not here to negotiate! You are here to surrender!
To surrender, you must take the attitude of surrender! The person who came, arrested them and threw them into a pan and fryed them!"
"Yes!" Jin Bing shouted loudly, rushed up and arrested people. Chen Zhizhi and Cheng Zhen were so scared that they kowtowed and begged for mercy. Mei Zhili also had a face as black as gray and lost her inch.
"Slow!" Wanyan Zongwang raised his hand to stop them and said, "Let these people go down. After all, we are not here to destroy the Song Dynasty, we just want to punish them for seducing our generals. There is no need to kill people casually.
Since the Song Dynasty has realized its mistake, as long as they are willing to accept punishment, we can still discuss it. Let’s do this! Go back and tell your emperor, send the prince as hostages, and when will you take out 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million pieces of silk to compensate us for our losses, and when will your prince be released, we will withdraw our troops to return to the north."
"What?" Mei Zhili and his men felt like they had a hammer when they heard this. 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million pieces of silk? Even if they plundered Kaifeng City, they didn't know if it was enough!
