These three layers of things are pushed into the moat at one time. They slowly sink and will not fall apart. Then push down another set of the same, and so on until the moat is filled...

This filling method should be unsolvable, right? There is a solution! It is just a risk. The flaw of this filling method is in the straw mat and branches on the second and third floors, which is combustible! As long as people are sent out of the city in time and ambush the moat and ignite the fire, they can be burned! The remaining layer of soil can be dropped into the river by just relying on them to dig soil and fill in ditches...

After that, Wanyan Zonghan sent siege cars, jumping off buildings and other equipment to attack them one after another... Seeing this, a problem surfaced: Throughout history, the Jin army has been seriously underestimated! Everyone thinks that they are just civilized Jurchen savages, and can only chop people with axe that can't even open a blade with a round wheel. Compared with the Song Dynasty, war equipment is worse than strategy, funding is worse than anything else. The only advantage is that the Jurchens produce horses.

But the scene under Taiyuan City proved that this was wrong! The Jurchens have been rising for more than ten years, and the scholars have to look at each other with admiration for three days, let alone destroying the emerging nation of the largest country in East Asia. They used war to support the war, destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and digested the Liao Kingdom. At this time, both the weapons and the strategies of the Jin Kingdom were no longer inferior to the Song Dynasty. This is undoubtedly!

But even so, Taiyuan City, which has been besieged for more than 9 months, is still persisting! The Jin army, who can break through Shangjing Road in the Great Liao Kingdom in one day, is at a loss under Taiyuan City... The Jin army finally played all their cards, Wanyan Zonghan, Nichhu, and his army and weapons, these failed to work. There are two roads in front of Wanyan Zonghan: 1. Continue to waste here, and there may be a day of breakthrough, but who knows which date is? Drive in, leave Taiyuan City behind, and attack the target Kaifeng. After all, that is the capital of the Song Dynasty! But if Kaifeng City is still unable to be defeated, it will still block the three northern towns on the way back, and how can it be awkward?

At this time, Wanyan Zonghan's mind finally worked, and he decided to wait two more days! I wonder if he felt something, but these few days really became the last few straws that overwhelmed Taiyuan City!

On September, Taiyuan City fell! After the Jin army entered the city, they discovered an empty city with skinless horses, no horses, cows and mules, no bows, crossbows, leather armor, pings, solids, brans, and grass! The soldiers and civilians who defended the city first ate horses, cows and mules, then bows, crossbows, leather armor, and finally ate Pings, solids, brans, grass... Now, everything has been eaten up!

Taiyuan City was starved! After nearly 10 months of siege, there were no reinforcements from one army or another. If Wanyan Zonghan had not waited for these two days, they might have a chance to breathe, break through or grab grain, which might be a little variable. Unfortunately, the war was cold, and there was no possibility that Taiyuan City would still fall!

Taiyuan City was respected by the eldest prince of the Jin Kingdom. After the city was broken, he did not rush to grab things, but instead summoned him! He offered generous conditions, hoping that Taiyuan Prefect Zhang Xiaochun and Deputy Chief General Wang Bing could work for the Jin Kingdom!

Zhang Xiaochun surrendered... I had some regrets about this, but I couldn't raise any anger. Can I ask for more? Taiyuan City has begun to eat people! At this point, there is no reason to blame Zhang Xiaochun for not committing his life to the city...

Wang Bingze chose to fight to the end! Wang Bing was the head of Taiyuan City Defense. In the past 10 months, he did everything he could do! At this time, the city was broken, and he led the weak soldiers of the exhausted army to fight to the end. He fought one street after another, and Tianyou braved the brave. In the end, he broke through the siege and killed outside the city. Hope flashed again, but unfortunately the Fen River was not far away... The Jin army chased him, but they were still disappointed...

Wang Bing jumped into the Fen River and would rather drown than fall into the enemy! When his body was salvaged, people found him carrying a portrait and unfolded it and found that it was the imperial statue of Emperor Taizong of Song Dynasty Zhao Guangyi... Zhao Guangyi valued literati, and the literati Wang Bing also gave him the most direct reward!

Regarding Wang Bing, there is another thing to say: Wang Bing's grandson Wang Bing was young in Luocheng, Taiyuan. Fortunately, he was rescued by his loyal and honest servants from the royal palace. He begged for the south from Tongchuan, Qingzhou, and lived in Changping Township, Yanguan County, Lin'an, Southern Song Dynasty. He made grass and made a hut, worked hard and studied hard, and worked hard to encourage himself. Four years later, Emperor Gaozong of Song praised his loyalty and posthumously named Wang Bing as the prince of Anhua County; he ordered his grandson Wang Bing to inherit the title and was given the title of Yanguan (now Anhuafang, Yanguan Town, Haining City). Wang Bing was the ancestor of the Wang family in Haining.

Wang Wen's ninth generation grandson was Wang Guowei, a famous modern master of Chinese studies. And the "History of the Song Dynasty" compiled by the Mongols did not write a biography for him. This made Wang Guowei angry! He was moved by the loyalty and righteousness of his ancestors, so he wrote biography for his ancestor Wang Wang in his famous book "Guantang Jilin. Shilin". It is recommended that you read it. On June 197, more than 800 years after his ancestor Wang Wang was in the Fenhe River, Wang Guowei borrowed 5 from his friends.

The dollar was hired to Beijing Summer Palace, and sank in the Yuzaoxuan, the Yuzaoxuan in Kunming Lake in the garden! A suicide note was found from his body's pocket, "Send it to Mr. Wang Zhenming, No. 18, West Courtyard, to collect it: In his fifty years, he only deserves one death. After this incident, he will never be humiliated. After I die, I will be buried in the cemetery of Tsinghua University. If you cannot return south, you can temporarily move to the city to live. Your brother does not have to go to the funeral because the road is blocked and the canal has not gone out. Books can be entrusted to Chen

Mr. Wu Er handled it. His family was treated by someone, so he would not be unable to return to the south. Although I had no property and had no money to leave you, if I was cautious and thrifty, I would not starve to death. Why did Wang Guowei, a master of Chinese studies, drown himself? It is still debated today. Generally, there are so-called "sacrifice for the Qing Dynasty", "suppressing debt", "tragedy of personality", "cultural decline", etc., but I think: the loyalty and righteousness of his ancestor Wang, undoubtedly had a deep-rooted influence on Wang Guowei!

Expand the map of the Song Dynasty. There are three routes in the north of the Yellow River, from west to east, Hedong Road, Hebei West Road, and Hebei East Road. Simply put: Wanyan Zonghan is responsible for Hedong Road, Taiyuan fell, and the entire Hedong Road collapsed, and Wanyan Zonghan was able to rush to the Yellow River!

On the other hand, Wanyan Zongwang is responsible for the two routes in the west and east of Hebei, and his difficulty should be much greater than Wanyan Zonghan! First of all, he has to break through Zhongshan Prefecture? The three northern towns: Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian are lined up, connecting them to a defense line on the northern land. Hejian is at the easternmost end, and it is too far away, and it has nothing to do with this war. The location of Zhongshan Prefecture is the most critical, it is in the middle, if it is stable, it will cause the Jin army to be in a dilemma. Wanyan Zongwang has another hard bone to gnaw behind Zhongshan Prefecture: Zhending Prefecture, a major town second only to the three northern towns! Last time, he ignored nothing and directly killed the Yellow River and rushed towards Kaifeng City! So what about this time?

After the city of Taiyuan was broken, another great figure at the intersection of the Song Dynasty walked onto the historical stage - Zong Ze, the governor of Cizhou! Cizhou is south of Zhending Prefecture, southwest of Taiyuan Prefecture, and north of the Yellow River. At this time, Zong Ze was preparing to stick to Cizhou and build another stronghold on the land of Hebei. He also wrote a memorial: "From Zhending Prefecture to the Yellow River, there are 5 states in the north and south line. Please accumulate tens of thousands of elite soldiers in each state. If the enemy attacks one state, all four states will respond. It is a state with 100,000 soldiers."

On the 9th, Emperor Qinzong of Song issued an order to kill Cai You, Cai Tao’s brothers, and Zhu Xie.

On the 14th, Wang Yu, Minister of Rites, was appointed as the Left Chief of the Shangshu. On the 15th, Li Gang, the head of the Privy Council, was dismissed and was appointed as the governor of Yangzhou.

Afterwards, Kaifeng City finally made some war reactions: Zhe Keqiu led tens of Zhe's army to cross the Yellow River, from the Kelan Army, Xianzhou, out of Tianmen Pass, and challenge Wanyan Zonghan. He ordered Zong Shi to leave Jingxing and challenge Wanyan Zongwang. He appointed Zhe Yanzhi as the deputy envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, and led 10,000 heavy troops to garrison the south bank of the Yellow River. Li Hui, the assistant secretary of the Privy Council, was the commander of the Dahe River, and led 10,000 cavalry to assist.

The above are just conventional means. Next, Song Qinzong made an unprecedented innovation!

On Sunday, the Song Dynasty entered a state of emergency in war! Everything north of the Yangtze River was mobilized and divided into 4 channels: Daming Prefect (Beijing) Zhao Ye manages the North Road, Fanner's deputy, Hebei Road is all yours, defending Wanyan Zongwang's east road Jin army; Henan Prefect (Xijing) Wang Xiang manages the West Road, Sun Zhaoyuan manages the West Road, Hedong Road, and Shaanxi Road are all yours, defending Wanyan Zonghan's west road Jin army; Yingtian Prefect (Nanjing) Hu Zhiru manages the East Road, Zhu Shengfei, Jingdong Road, and Huainan Road are all yours, defending the Beijing city; Dengzhou Prefect Zhang Shuye manages the South Road, Gao Gongchun manages the South Road, Jingxi Road, and Jinghu North Road are all yours!

In their respective paths, you can decide on all military and political affairs by yourself! The fiscal revenue is for your own purposes, and you can appoint officials at all levels by yourself. The soldiers under your jurisdiction can be punished and rewarded by yourself!

What is this? The country in the country! It was a vassal state that disrupted the world in the late Tang Dynasty and could not be defeated! It was the biggest taboo that the Song Dynasty tried its best to prevent it from the beginning of its founding, using a series of means, even if it was self-castration, it was the biggest taboo! But under the threat of war, Kaifeng City was reluctant! After paying such a big price, it only required that when the country encountered a crisis, four troops must rush to the capital to serve the king as soon as possible!

History is repeating! It is foreseeable that unless the Jin army is quickly defeated or even further destroyed, as the war deepens, these four paths will surely become stronger and stronger! From the initial dependence of the country on them, to the later rebellion and becoming the master of the country! This is an authentic drinking poison to quench thirst! But there is nothing we can do, and we have to pass the level in front of us first!

The Jin army approached day and night, and the Southern General Manager Zhang Shuye and Shaanxi Commander Qian Gai led his troops to serve the king, but were stopped by Prime Minister Tang Ke and the subordinate minister Geng Nanzhong: No, we are going to negotiate peace... On the 8th, Huang E, the chief minister, went to Jin State from the sea to go directly to meet with Emperor Taizong Wanyan and Wu Qimai for negotiations.

This month, Xi'an Prefecture, Jingyuan Road, the Great Song Dynasty, was captured by Xixia. The Xi'an Prefecture Tongzong Ren Dejing surrendered. Ren Dejing has a daughter. This time, the tradition of the Xixia people will perform at a climax, a crisis of the split of the Xixia Kingdom...

In October, Wanyan Zongwang continued to ignore Zhongshan Prefecture and marched straight in, forcing Zhong Shidao to travel day and night to leave Jingxing to fight him. However, Zhong Shidao was squeezed out of the capital, without a single soldier, what could he use to fight the second prince of the Jin Kingdom?

He was even more tragic than his younger brother Zhong Shizhong. The famous Zhong family army was actually treated as a flesh shield and pushed to the front line! How could this be a battle? It was purely a death! So in the battle of Jingxing, Zhong Shidao was defeated...

On the 5th, Wanyan Zongwang captured Zhending Mansion, and the military Dujin ruled Liu Yi and died in battle, while the prefect Li Miao was killed.

Afterwards, Wanyan Zongwang thought about it and came up with an old method. This was a good thing to try every time when the Liao Kingdom was destroyed - negotiation! The Jin army sent envoys to Kaifeng to discuss the current problem with the Song Dynasty. This would give the Song Dynasty some hope, and if there was hope, they would not fight to the death. Secondly, they could take the opportunity to go deep into the Song territory and observe the Song army's defense measures with their own eyes. The effect was better than that of the spy. However, Wanyan Zongwang did not expect that this was the most failed in the Jin Dynasty's plan to invade Song, and it was the only failure! It was so serious that the Song Dynasty almost rekindled and almost failed!

This negotiation was a matter of flying sand and rocks, dark and dark, with beginning and end. It looked like everything was covered, and it was all fartful after thinking clearly!

First on the 6th, the Jin envoy Yang Tianji and Wang Feng entered Kaifeng and proposed peace talks. So the Song Dynasty official Wang Shiyong, who was receiving, said: Let's take out all the taxes from the three northern towns and the royal treasures of the inner palace of Kaifeng City, and add a large amount of cash. You withdraw your troops and leave? The Jin envoy agreed and said that you would add 100,000 pieces of silk to the transaction...

The Song Dynasty happily sent people to Jinchang with things, with the purpose of doing things in advance before the Yellow River Ferry, so that the Jin army could stop as soon as possible...

On the 8th, Wanyan Zonghan's Western Route Army captured Fenzhou. After the city of Zhang Kejian was broken, he still fought in the streets and finally committed suicide. Eight people died in one of the troops. Jia Dan, the chief of the military commander of the military and horses, also died in battle. On the same day, a branch division of the Jin army on the West Route and a branch division of the Jin army on the East Route jointly attacked the Pingding Army.

On the 14th, Song Tingzang returned to Shidao Zhong. In Heyang, Shidao Zhong met Wang Feng, the Jin envoy who was rushing back, so he sent a letter to Song Qinzong and made two suggestions: 1. The two general managers in the south and west of the two departments sent troops to serve the king, so don’t delay it for a moment! Please escape from Feng immediately and go to Chang'an to take refuge! This time the Jin army is coming fiercely, not a test, but a desire to destroy the country! Sleeping in a dangerous city will turn into a desperate situation...

History will prove: how correct the words of Zhong Shidao are! Unfortunately, this is what he said. With his status in the Song Dynasty, what will anyone listen to him? So it was ignored...

On the 15th, Feng Cheng, the Minister of Rites, was appointed as the Minister of the Privy Council.

On the 18th, Fanner was appointed as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hedong Road, Hebei, replacing the position of Zhong Shidao.

On the same day, Xiao Hulu, the former general of the Liao army, captured Linzhou on Hedong Road in the Song Dynasty. Yang Zhen, the guard of Jianning Village, died in battle.

At this time, the Song envoy Wang Yun brought great good news to the Song Dynasty: the Jin people were in a good mood and automatically reduced the price. They didn't want all the three northern towns. As long as the Song Dynasty handed over the five orders, that is, the five special cars that the Han emperor rode, plus crowns and honorific titles, this matter was over! However, there was an appraisal: the Jin army called on Prince Kang Zhao Gou to take things to the front line to deliver...
