In other words, the Jin army was nominally going to crusade against Song Huizong.
Tong Guan has been a favored minister by Song Huizong's side for decades. As an eunuch, all the power in his hands comes from Song Huizong.
Tong Guan was keenly aware that the biggest crisis for himself and His Majesty the emperor was not the occupation of several cities by the Jin army, but that the emperor's throne would be shaken when faced with huge military pressure.
The goal of the Jin army is to overthrow Song Huizong. If His Majesty the emperor falls, Tong Guan's glory and wealth will naturally come to naught.
Therefore, Tong Guan's first reaction after seeing the Jin Jun's call was to rush back to Tokyo's Bianliang City to protect the current emperor, and at the same time protect his own power.
However, although Tong Guan ran away without looking back, he still had a conscience towards Zhang Xiaochun, the magistrate of Taiyuan Prefecture.Before leaving, he left his [-] relatives and Sheng Jie army in Taiyuan City. At the same time, he appointed his confidant and beloved general, the governor of the Xuanfu Division, Wang Zhi, as the deputy governor of the capital, and commanded the soldiers and horses of the Xuanfu Division to guard Taiyuan City.
Such an arrangement is the best effort Tong Guan can make at present.Regardless of public or private, he is not willing to let the Jin army conquer Taiyuan Mansion.
When Guo Yaoshi fought bloody Baihe and Tong Guan left Taiyuan City to go south, Ximen Qing had already rushed to Tokyo Bianliang City one step ahead of time with Jiao Ting, Tang Long and two hundred guards.
"Flower Arm" Lu Xiaoyi, as the gangster brother of Bianliang City in Tokyo, has already bought a mansion in the outer city of Bianliang City, Tokyo, as a stronghold of Ximen Qing's forces in Bianliang City.
After Ximen Qing, Jiao Ting, and Tang Long entered the city, Lu Xiaoyi, Zhang San, and Li Si took Ximen Qing back to their courtyard, and did not go to live in the main store in Gaoyang.
Ximenqing gathered together Lu Xiaoyi and the backbone of Bianliang City in Tokyo, and encouraged them with a lot of money.
Because Ximenqing knew that in a short time, his uncle Wanyan Zongwang would lead the Jin Army East Route Army to surround Bianliang City in Tokyo, and a big drama was about to be staged.
Ximenqing needs these backbones to infiltrate every corner of Bianliang City in Tokyo, to find out the latest information for himself, and to act secretly according to his orders.
After motivating his subordinates in Bianliang City, Ximenqing rested in the city overnight, and then went to visit his cousin "Golden Gunner" Xu Ning with Tang Long.
At this time in Bianliang City, Tokyo, neither the court ministers nor ordinary people knew that the war in the north would soon burn to the city of Bianliang City in Tokyo.
When Ximen Qing met Xu Ning, Xu Ning, who was a general of the guards, was calm and calm, without a trace of nervousness about the coming of war.
Ximenqing saw it, and had to scold in his heart that Song Huizong's monarchs and officials were all bastards who didn't do business. No wonder they were easily beaten to the capital by the Jin army, without a trace of resistance.
As soon as they met, Ximenqing asked Xu Ning straight to the point what he thought of the war in the north.
Xu Ning replied that there were hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses in Yanshan Mansion, Hebei Road, and Hedong Road, and Tong Taiwei also personally took command of Taiyuan Mansion, an important town in Hedong. In the end, it failed.
Ximenqing listened, shook his head, and said firmly to Xu Ning that he learned supernatural powers in Daishan and could predict the future. It will all fall into the hands of the Jin Army.
Moreover, Tong Taiwei of Taiyuan Mansion will leave Taiyuan Mansion and return to the capital.The Jin Army will soon surround Taiyuan City.
What's more serious is that the Jin army will come to the city of Bianliang, Tokyo in a month's time. I'm afraid that Xu Ning, the general of the guards, will be forced to go to the outer city wall to defend the city.
Xu Ning was shocked when he heard Ximen Qing's words. He looked at Ximen Qing and Tang Long back and forth, and murmured to himself, "Your official, are you serious? The Jin Army is so powerful that it can be defeated in a month." Hit my big Song capital?"
Tang Long opened his mouth and said: "Cousin, you don't have to believe other people's words, but you have to believe what Brother Ximen says!
Over the years, brother Ximen has been right in his words, and you are not unaware of his great supernatural powers.
Brother Ximen brought me here this time to pick up my sister-in-law and my nephew before the Jin army besieged the city, so as not to stay in the city and suffer when the Jin army besieged the city. "
Ximen Qing also said: "Brother Xu Ning, Jin Jun's goal is Bianliang City in Tokyo. My Yanggu County in Shandong Province is much safer than your Bianliang City in Tokyo. Let Tang Long pick up his younger siblings and nephew to go to my place first." Stay for a while to avoid this military disaster!"
Xu Ning had known for a long time that Ximen Qing was able to pinch and count, and he was right in his words. At this time, he had no doubts about him, and completely believed in Ximen Qing's judgment.
Thinking that the Jin army might surround and capture Bianliang City in Tokyo, Xu Ning's worries about his family's safety overwhelmed everything.
There are eggs under the overturned nest. Even if Xu Ning is good at martial arts, it is difficult to protect the safety of his family in times of chaos.
It is rare that brother Ximenqing and cousin Tang Long are affectionate and righteous, and they come to Bianliang City from a long distance to pick up their wife and children.
Xu Ning made up his mind immediately and didn't want to delay for a moment.He took Ximen Qing and Tang Long home, and told his wife the truth about avoiding disaster.
Mrs. Xu Ning thanked Ximen Qing and Tang Long for her kindness, and quickly finished packing, took her son and two little maids into the carriage, and followed her cousin Tang Long out of the city.
Xu Ning and Ximen Qing sent them out of the city together, and he breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that Tang Long was leading away with dozens of armed guards protecting the carriage convoy.
Ximen Qing and Xu Ning went to the restaurant in the city to have a drink, and then they dispersed.
Before parting, Ximenqing told Xu Ning repeatedly not to leak anything about the border war, just wait for the battle report ahead, and verify the authenticity in a few days.
Of course Xu Ning understands that this kind of military and national affairs cannot be talked about indiscriminately, and he promises to be absolutely tight-lipped about Ximen Qing.
Of course it is impossible for Xu Ning to go out and talk nonsense. Does he dare to brag to his colleagues that he predicted that the imperial court would be defeated and transferred his family and wealth long ago?
Ximen Qing looked at Xu Ning's back, with a smile on his lips.
The moment Xu Ning entrusted his family to Ximen Qing, even if he had completely set foot on Ximen Qing's warship, he had added a strong general to his men.
Ximen Qing came to Bianliang City, Tokyo this time, not just to save Xu Ning's family, nor to meet Qin Hui, a hot-blooded young man who is about to step onto the stage of history.
The most important thing for Ximen Qing's trip to Bianliang, Tokyo is to meet Li Shishi, the favorite concubine of Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty.
Chapter 885 Master Li's Hope
In the Avalokitesvara Temple in Bianliang City, Tokyo, Ximenqing and Li Shishimi met again here.
After a long absence and a new marriage, Ximen Qing couldn't help but give that bastard Song Huizong a green hat.
After the wind stopped and the rain stopped, Ximen Qing told Li Shishi his secret plan.
Ximenqing told Li Shishi that the Jin army had declared war on the Song Dynasty and would hit the city of Bianliang in Tokyo in a month.
Not surprisingly, Song Huizong will pass the throne to Prince Zhao Huan in more than ten days, and he will flee to Jiangnan with his concubines.
Ximenqing wanted to take this opportunity to pick up Li Shishi's mother and son in the middle of the chaos after Song Huizong's car drove out of the city.
Therefore, Ximenqing asked Li Shishi to be ready at that time, and took Zhao Hang by his side.Because, Ximen Qing would unexpectedly take their mother and son away, and let Li Shishi regain his freedom.
After listening to Ximen Qing's words, Li Shishi couldn't believe it.Could it be that the high official is a god in the sky, who can predict the abdication of His Majesty the Emperor!
It should be noted that His Majesty the Emperor presided over the celebrations these few days, held a large banquet in the palace, and ate, drank and played every day, and there was nothing unusual at all!
However, although he did not dare to fully believe Ximen Qing's prediction, Li Shishi still hoped that everything would be as he said.
Li Shishi has long been tired of being a canary without freedom in the palace, waiting for Ximen Qing to pick up his mother and child.
Li Shishi was ecstatic, and it took him a long time to calm down, keeping Ximen Qing's entrustment firmly in his heart.Then she left the Guanyin Temple with a radiant face, and returned to the palace by car.
There are still more than ten days before leaving the palace, it really feels like a year!
……
Not long after Tong Guan left Taiyuan Mansion, Wanyan Zonghan continued to march south, from Xinzhou to Shiling Pass.
Shiling Pass is the last barrier in the north of Taiyuan City. The pass is steep and easy to defend but difficult to attack.
Zhang Xiaochun, the magistrate of Taiyuan, knew the importance of Shiling Pass, so he spent a lot of time choosing the guard of Shiling Pass, and finally chose Ji Jing, the general of the Western Army.
