Wuhan Ying knew that the Jin army had plans to invade the south, and wanted to decline, but was worried that it would cause trouble, so he finally accepted the invitation.
As a result, as soon as he arrived in front of the Jin Army's tent, he caught up with the Jin Army heading south, so Wuhan Ying was arrested.
Wanyan Zong cherished his talents and personally recruited Wuhan Ying to surrender. Wuhan Ying falsely agreed, so he was called the first descendant of the Southern Dynasty by the Jurchens.
Wuhan Ying followed the Jin army across the border and entered the territory of Yanshan Prefecture. Seeing that the Jin army was strictly disciplined and did not kill a single Yan person along the way, which was quite different from the legendary brutality, he curiously asked Wan Yan Zonghan why he didn't kill the Yan people.
Wanyan Zongwang said that these Yan people were originally from our Jin country, but they temporarily belonged to the Song Dynasty.How can we harm our own people by hanging people and punishing crimes?
After Wuhanying knew about it, she had a plan in mind, and told Wanyan Zongwang that the second prince did not kill the Yan people in order to win back people's hearts.It's a pity that even I, a minister, didn't understand it at first, let alone ordinary Yan people.If the people of Yan knew that the Jin army attacked the Song Dynasty to save them, they would definitely open the door to welcome our army.In this way, Yanshan and Hebei cities can be defeated without a fight.
Wanyan Zongwang was overjoyed after hearing this suggestion, and ordered the Jin army to post bulletins everywhere announcing Jin Guoqiu's policy of not committing crimes and not killing the people, hoping to buy people's hearts.
Wuhan Ying also self-recommended and said that I am a Han Chinese. If I were to go to the counties and counties to inform them of this policy, after they knew it, they would definitely vote for it.
Wanyan Zongwang was really fooled, and let Wuhan Ying leave the Jin Army camp.
After Wuhan Ying regained his freedom, he immediately fled back to the sphere of influence of the Song Dynasty, and reported to the court what he had learned about the Jin army's plan to invade the south.
It turned out that the Jin army believed that the Song Dynasty was weak, and only the northwest army still had a certain combat effectiveness, so the Jin army planned to divide its troops into two groups.
All the way is to use up Yan Zonghan's troops in Datong Mansion to take down Taiyuan Mansion, and then cross the Yellow River south to capture Luoyang.
In this way, the road for the Western Army of the Song Dynasty to support Bianliang City in Tokyo can be cut off, and it can also prevent the Emperor Daojun from fleeing westward from Shaanxi to Sichuan when the Jin Army attacked Bianliang City in Tokyo in the future.
After Yan Zonghan's army captured Luoyang, they would attack Bianliang City in Tokyo to the east.
The other Jin army was Wanyan Zongwang's troops.
On this road, the Jin army will first attack Yanshan Mansion, then Zhending Mansion, cross the river all the way south from Hebei Road, and finally join forces with Wanyan Zonghan's army under Bianliang City, Tokyo, and jointly attack Bianliang City, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Cai Jing, the magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture, was shocked when he learned of the Jin army's attempt to attack Bianliang City in Tokyo, and immediately sent someone to inform the Xuanfu Department of Bianliang City in Tokyo and Taiyuan Prefecture.
Wanyan Zongwang was annoyed by Wuhan Ying's escape, and he bluntly said that the southerners were cunning and unbelievable.The Song people who were later captured by the Jin army were affected.
Chapter 879 Going Together
After Wanyan Zongwang sent troops from Pingzhou, he quickly broke through Jizhou and marched to Yutian County to station.
Here, the Jin army happened to meet the envoys sent by the Song Dynasty to the Kingdom of Jin to congratulate the New Year as usual, Fu Cha, the official doctor, and others, and arrested them all.
After Fu Cha and others were arrested, Wanyan Zongwang ordered people to coerce and lure Song officials to surrender.
Forced by the situation, the deputy envoys of the Song Dynasty, Jiang Og and Hou Yan, all surrendered to the Jin people.
Just so Fu Cha is a stubborn person, he will never give in to anything that goes against his will.
When Fu Cha was eighteen years old and passed the Jinshi examination, Prime Minister Cai Jingxiang wanted to marry his daughter to him because he was a talent.But Fu Cha refused to cling to the powerful Cai Jing, and directly rejected the marriage that others could only dream of.
This shows Fu Cha's character.
Facing the dense forest of knives and guns of the Jin Army, Fu Cha was fearless and refused to surrender to the Jin Army.
Wanyan Zongwang asked Fu Cha to kneel down to worship him, but Fu Cha replied that I was ordered to go to your country as an envoy, and I would not kneel down to anyone except to see your king.
Seeing that Fu Cha would not surrender, Wanyan Zong was afraid that he would escape in the chaos, so he ordered someone to kill him on the way to Yanjing City.
Yanshanfu Road appeasement envoy, Yanshan Prefecture prefect Cai Jing, Yanshanfu Road transfer envoy Lu Yihao and others learned that the Jin army had conquered Jizhou and approached Yanjing City, and immediately organized the people to dig deep pits and repair the city wall to prepare to resist the Jin army's attack.
At the same time, Cai Jing ordered eight hundred miles to rush the battle report to Bianliang City, Tokyo, hoping that the imperial court would quickly send troops to reinforce Yanshan Mansion.
Unexpectedly, when the battle report was sent to the imperial court, it was just in time for Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty to perform a suburban ceremony to worship the ancestors of heaven and earth.In order not to affect the ceremony, the ministers of the DPRK and China even concealed the battle report.
In the eyes of these court ministers, the city of Yanshan Mansion is solid, and there are more than 6 troops of Guo Yaoshi. How can the Jin army conquer Yanshan Mansion so easily!During the celebration, we can only report good news but not bad news, but we can't make the Holy One feel unhappy.
Cai Jing and others in Yanshan Mansion did not receive a response from the court, so they could only order the states to stick to the city and organize their own resistance.
However, compared with the weak Song Army, the Jin Army is a division of tigers and wolves who destroyed the Liao Kingdom and experienced many battles.How could the Song army be the opponent of the Jin army? The Song army in various places retreated steadily under the attack of the Jin army, and the battle situation took a turn for the worse.
On November 26th, Yan Chang led the troops out of Gubeikou and headed south, and Tanzhou fell.
Immediately afterwards, a part of the Jin army in Fengsheng Prefecture also entered Yanshan Mansion from Juyongguan, and the prefectures and counties defended by the Song army fell one after another under the attacks of several Jin troops.
And a wrong decision made by the Song Dynasty not long ago, like self-destructing the Great Wall, made the Song Dynasty more passive in its defense against the Jin army.
It turned out that not long ago, Cai You, deputy envoy of Xuanfu Department of Xuanfu, gave a memorial to the court, suggesting that the court abolish the garrisons in Ansu and Baoxin at the junction of Hebei Road and Yanshanfu Road.
When the Song Dynasty did not take back the land of Yanyun, Yizhou was the front line of the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. In order to defend the border, the Song Dynasty stationed heavy troops in Ansu Army and Baoxin Army, facing Zhuo and Yi in the Liao Kingdom.
But after Yanshan was recovered, Cai You believed that these two places had changed from the border of Song and Liao to the rear, so there was no need to garrison troops for defense, so he proposed to abolish the garrisons in the two places.
In order to save money, the Song court approved Cai You's plan.
The two garrisons of Ansu Army and Baoxin Army were abolished in early November. Unexpectedly, at the end of the month, the Jin Army crossed Yizhou and hit here.These two strategic locations fell into the hands of the Jin army without any resistance.
With the fall of the Ansu Army and the Baoxin Army, the entire Hebei Road Plain was exposed to the cavalry of the Jin Army.And Yanshan Mansion was also cut off from backup.
At this time, Ma Kuo, who was sent as an envoy to Wanyan Zonghan's army in Datong Prefecture, also returned to the Xuanfu Division of Taiyuan Prefecture on December [-].
Ma Kuo didn't know that he was able to escape from Wanyan Zonghan's hands safely, and was not detained like the Song Dynasty envoys Wuhan Ying and Fu Cha at Yanshan Mansion, but it was because he and Ximen Qing were friends.
Wanyan Zonghan knew that Ma Kuo had a good relationship with Brother Ximenqing, and he didn't want to attack him, so he let him go back to the Song Dynasty.
At this time, the news was not transmitted smoothly, and the Xuanfu Department of Taiyuan Mansion did not know that the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang had captured a large area of land in Yanshan Mansion.
After returning to the office of the Xuanfu Division, Ma Kuo and Xin Xingzong informed Tong Guan of the results of the negotiations, saying that it seemed that the Jin Kingdom had no possibility of ceding the land, and that the Jin army's southward invasion was almost a foregone conclusion.
Tong Guan was shocked when he heard this, and said that the Jin Kingdom had just pacified the Liao Kingdom, the soldiers were exhausted, and the newly occupied Liao land still needed appeasement, how dare they do such a big thing?
Ma Kuo patted his chest and said that there must be no mistake, the crisis of the Jin army going south is imminent, and urged Tong Guan to take immediate measures to restrict and guard against the Jin country.
Tong Guan told Ma Kuo that he did not ignore the police situation in the north, but had already ordered the defenders in Taiyuan, Zhending, Zhongshan, Hejian, and Yanshan Prefectures to immediately take appropriate measures to prevent the Jin army from invading.
At the same time, because the Yizhou Changsheng Army defected to Wanyan Zonghan, making the imperial court suspicious of the loyalty of the Changsheng Army, Tong Guan ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead the army to the village outside Yanjing City to prevent the Changsheng Army from changing.
Tong Guan also said that the Taiyuan Fulu Yiyong, Yisheng and other armies had a total of tens of thousands of people. In addition, he had ordered Li Siben to station [-] troops in Daizhou City. Yesterday this army was still in formation.
Tong Guan said to Ma Kuo that our army is ready to fight, and the Jin army should have some scruples after learning about it.
However, two days later, Wang Jieru, an envoy sent by Wanyan Zonghan, came to the Xuanfu Department of Taiyuan Mansion.
After Wang Jieru saw Tong Guan, he clearly told Tong Guan that the Dajin Kingdom was extremely well versed, and Marshal Wanyan Zonghan of the capital had already decided to use troops against the Song Dynasty, and his attitude was extremely arrogant and bad.
Wang Jieru is also an old acquaintance of Tong Guan and the staff of Xuanfu Si Yamen.
When Tong Guan led the army to attack the Liao Dynasty, Wang Jieru was still a minister of the Liao Kingdom. He was ordered to send an envoy to the Song Dynasty to seek peace.
Therefore, the former Liao survivors who took refuge in the Kingdom of Jin like Wang Jieru hated the Song Dynasty the most for stabbing knives in the back.Jin Jun's decision to go south so quickly has a lot to do with the persuasion of these former Liao ministers.
