Yang Kang was not worried that his fake death would be exposed. The Mongols must have known that Emperor Wanyan Kang of the Jin Kingdom was still alive, but there was no need to publicize it. It was enough to let the prime minister know alone. He could not stay in the Jin Kingdom for a long time. , let the character Wan Yankang become a historical mystery. The Mongols had indeed known the news for a long time and had sent people to trace Wanyan Kang's whereabouts. Unfortunately, they focused on Kaifeng City of the Jin State instead of Lin'an Prefecture of the Song State. They did not know who was allied with the Mongols. The Emperor of the Song Dynasty was the culprit they were looking for, but the Mongolian Great Khan Ogedai believed that as the emperor of the Jin Kingdom, he would definitely appear when the Jin Kingdom was about to perish. He believed that the man who assassinated his father Khan was at the moment. In Kaifeng City, this time he not only wanted to destroy the Kingdom of Jin, but also wanted to make the Emperor of the Kingdom of Jin who faked his death really die. Anyone who dares to provoke Mongolia will surely die. Although the Mongolian army encountered tenacious resistance from the Jin army, the Jin army was still defeated under the trampling of the Mongolian iron hoof. The Mongolian army burned, killed, looted and committed all kinds of evil wherever it went. The entire land of Hebei seemed like a hell on earth. Every time the grassland National invasions will bring devastating consequences to the Central Plains. Battle reports came one after another from the front line and were piled up in the study room of the Jin Kingdom Palace. Each one was so heavy. Zhongdu Capital was lost, Hejian Mansion was lost, Zhongshan Mansion was lost, Daming Mansion was lostthe whole land of Hebei was lost. Entering the enemy's hands, the Mongolian army marched straight in, heading towards Kaifeng Mansion. His Majesty the Emperor looked through the battle reports, his heart already numb. He knew that behind every battle report were the bones of countless soldiers and civilians, but this is war. In troubled times, human life is as cheap as grass. For the final victory, these sacrifices are necessary. If you don't want to Sacrifice, then it is better to simply surrender. He had to calculate the remaining strength of the Mongolian army from the battle report, and also deduce the combat effectiveness of the Mongolian army from the intensity of the battle, so that he could make corresponding deployments. The reason why the Jin army resisted tenaciously and caused harassment along the way was precisely In order to consume the combat power of the Mongolian army, the Mongolian army that attacked Kaifeng City became a tired division. The two armies of the Song Dynasty, totaling 400,000, have arrived at Kaifeng City, and Lou Shidao is among them. The Mingjiao Guangming Left Envoy has been assisting Jia She in recruiting the rebels in the Jin Kingdom in the past few days, and has been very effective. The rebels in the Jin Kingdom are led by Yang An'er from Yidu in Shandong, Li Quan from Weifang, Liu Erzu from Yimeng Mountain, and Zhou Yuan'er from Hebei. Lord, the total number is around two to three hundred thousand. However, these people are not regular troops. Most of them are businessmen and farmers. The leaders are usually local martial arts tycoons. The uprising is just to resist exploitation and does not have a strong political purpose. Most of them are holding occupation. The idea of ????the mountain being the king has never thought of overthrowing the imperial court and becoming the emperor himself, so it is not difficult to recruit them. As long as the Song Dynasty gives them food and salary so that they can eat well, they are willing to accept the recruitment. Under the planning of Lou Shidao and Jia She, they recruited a group of rebels such as Li Quan and Yang Miaozhen, and also wiped out some of the remaining scum among the rebels. This time, Jia She brought these rebels from the Jin Kingdom. At that time, it had been renamed the Zhongyi Army of the Song Dynasty. In the next step, this group of nearly 100,000 Zhongyi Army will be dispatched to Sichuan to guard the border. After His Majesty the Emperor read the battle report, he stood up and left the study. The night was getting thick outside. He jumped to the eaves of the palace. This was the palace of the Kingdom of Jin, the highest place in the entire Kaifeng city. Yang Kang looked at the dotted lights in the city. There were dense military camps outside the city. After two months of planning and manipulation, this crucial battle was finally about to begin. The total strength of the Song and Jin Kingdoms exceeds 600,000, and the Mongolian army is less than 150,000. However, this overwhelming numerical advantage does not guarantee victory. Facing the fierce Mongolian iron hoof, any outcome is possible, so His Majesty the Emperor decided to put up another bargaining chip. He was going to assassinate the Mongolian Khan Ogedai. If Ogedai died, the Mongolian army would be in chaos. In this way, the chance of winning would be much greater. Success or failure depends on this. Late at night, Yang Kang came to the Song Kingdom's military camp outside Kaifeng City. Lou Shidao quietly brought him into the military camp. In a remote tent, this time the Song Army's commanders, Meng Zongzheng and Jia She, were waiting. They were They were summoned by Lou Shidao with the emperor's secret order, but they didn't know what was waiting for them. A figure entered the tent, lifted the black hood on his head, and revealed the face of Song Emperor Zhao Yun. Two days later, the vanguard of the Mongolian army arrived at the capital of the Jin Kingdom and met with the commander-in-chief of the Song Army to discuss a joint attack on the city. Wo Kuotai planned to attack Kaifeng City first, destroy the Jin Kingdom, and then turn around to deal with the Song Army. , these 400,000 Song troops can be said to be all the troops of the Song State along the Yangtze River. After defeating the Song Army, the Mongolian army went straight to Xiangyang. As long as they occupied Xiangyang, a strategic location, the Song State would have nothing to rely on. However, this matter must not be revealed. For this reason, Wo Kuotai specially transferred all the Beggar Gang disciples in the Mongolian army to the Tuo Lei Army. After all, those Beggar Gang disciples were Han people and could not be believed. So, including Guo Jing,A group of disciples are fighting Jin Bing in the Jingzhao Mansion area. Yang Kang had the same plan. Since the Iron Palm Gang was destroyed by the Song soldiers, the Beggar Gang has become stronger and stronger. His Majesty the Emperor has already ordered that the Beggar Gang be recognized as an illegal organization and be severely punished. However, the Beggar Gang and the Song Dynasty The main war sect has deep connections and is protected by some ministers. The Beggar Clan disciples are very active in attacking the Jin Kingdom this time. This is not a good sign. The Beggar Clan disciples are not connected with Mongolia and cannot be trusted. Word leaked to Mongolia that all the sacrifices would be in vain. So under the auspices of Lou Shidao, a large-scale purge was carried out overnight of the Beggar Gang disciples in the Song Army camp. Thousands of Beggar Gang disciples were summoned to a remote place and shot to death with arrows without their knowledge. , the reason was conspiracy and rebellion, which was also a necessary sacrifice. At this time, His Majesty the Emperor was playing with his daughter in the palace, and the little girl showed a happy smile. Wokuotai's army finally arrived. At this time, the Song army and the Mongolian army had been attacking the city for three consecutive days. The battle was extremely fierce. The arrival of the Mongolian Khan made the morale of the Mongolian soldiers high. When night fell, the Mongolian military camp sounded The songs on the grassland are loud and clear, which makes people morale high. This song spread to the Imperial City of Kaifeng. His Majesty the Emperor was holding his daughter on the roof of the Jin Palace. There were several barrels of fireworks in front of the father and daughter. The father lit the firework and handed it to his daughter. , the little girl felt it was fun, and shook the fireworks, sparks flying. His Majesty the Emperor guided her daughter to light the fireworks with the fireworks. The fireworks flew into the air, emitting wonderful light and shadow. The little girl looked up at the fireworks and laughed excitedly. stand up. In the cheerful laughter of the girl, the war that determined the direction of history began. (To be continued.)
