Ranking Pass History: Inventory of the Top Ten Great Players in History

Without these surrendering ministers, the Golden Palace was suddenly empty.

At this time, Li Xiuning changed her face. She looked at the 36 ministers on the left and said with a smile,

"You are all loyal and brave people, the Ai family will not treat you badly."

Then Li Xiuning promoted all these ministers to several levels at once, like Qin Hui and Li Ruoshui, who were originally fifth-rank officials, but suddenly became second-rank officials.Qin Hui became Minister of the Ministry of Officials, and Li Ruoshui became Minister of the Ministry of War.

Yuwen Xuzhong became the only prime minister.

After giving these officials high enough official positions, Li Xiuning just let them speak freely.

Qin Hui was the first to offer advice.

"Officials, now the people of Bianliang have been harmed by those treacherous officials. If we want to stabilize the people's hearts with the fastest speed, we must kill He Li and others as quickly as possible, and tell the people in the city , to show the officials’ determination to change course.”

"That's it!"

Li Xiuning immediately agreed to Qin Hui's plan.

When Qin Hui saw that his first suggestion was adopted, a gleam of joy flashed in his eyes involuntarily.He thought for a moment, then said again,

"There are more than 150 million people in Bianliang. It is not difficult to gather more than [-] strong people. The city of Bianliang is as strong as the world.

As long as we give enough rewards to the city guards, we can make them forget their lives.

In addition, General Yao Youzhong also has six or seven thousand well-trained Western troops. With these Western troops as the backbone and mixed with civilians, we can defend until the hot summer even if we don’t have any Qin Wang army and horses, so that the Jin soldiers will retreat without fighting. . "

Li Xiuning nodded again.

She now knew that although this Qin Hui was a treacherous minister with a reputation through the ages, he did have real materials and was not a complete waste like He Ligeng Nanzhong.

Then the other ministers also contributed their own ideas and suggestions, and soon came up with a very complete strategy for defending the city.

But what Li Xiuning said next startled them.

Li Xiuning said firmly,

"I want to come to the west city in person, and the commander's army will fight to the death with the Jinren."

Qin Hui was taken aback, and quickly remonstrated, "The official family is a body of gold, so don't take it lightly."

"This world is my world, and this Huangsong is my Huangsong. Now that Huangsong is facing a crisis, and my official family dare not even go to the city, how can I accept the support of the people of the world?"

Li Xiuning said confidently,

"From today onwards, I will always live in the west city of Bianliang, and take charge of the city defense until the Jin soldiers withdraw from the Emperor Song Dynasty."

As Li Xiuning said, the personal conquest of the imperial driver can best boost the morale of the army and the people.

If the heads of He Li, Geng Nanzhong and the gang of shameless capitulators were hung on the flagpole at the top of the city, it would only make the people of Bianliang feel bad.

But when Li Xiuning came to Xicheng in person to command the defense of the city, the morale of the people in Bianliang was immediately mobilized.

Li Ruoshui, who was in charge of recruiting Minzhuang, found that in just three days, 20 Minzhuang volunteered to defend the city.

When Jin Bing's small troops tentatively attacked the city, they encountered extremely fierce confrontation.

Some folks dared to put their lives on the golden soldiers, fell off the five-foot-high city wall, and died together with the golden soldiers.

The Jin soldiers continued to attack for several days, but failed to achieve any results.

Seeing the more than 80 heads of officials who had been extremely prominent in the Song Dynasty on the top of the city, Wanyan Zongwang immediately understood that Li Xiuning would not negotiate peace with them at all.

A group of veteran generals of the Golden Army got together to discuss and decided to attack the city on a large scale.

After all, they have known for a long time that there are only a few thousand regular troops in Bianliang City, and the rest are all civilians.

As long as sacrifices are not counted, it is still possible to capture Bianliang.

After all, there are no famous generals who are good at commanding in Bianliang City.

The plan has been decided. On January [-], the second year of Jingkang, the Jin soldiers began to attack the city on a large scale.

It turned out that this day was the day when the outer city of Bianliang fell.

The charlatan Guo Jing led 660 magic soldiers, opened the west gate of Bianliang on his own initiative, and attacked the Jin soldiers.

After the divine soldiers were wiped out by the regiment, the golden soldiers rushed in along the opened city gate.

But in today's Bianliang, the capitulators have all had their heads cut off, and that charlatan Guo Jing was hanged on the top of the city and executed Ling Chi.

Therefore, the only way for Jin Bing to attack by force is left.

Of course, Wanyan Zongwang would never allow Jin Bing to participate in this kind of siege with a lot of sacrifices.

He sent 10,000+ Han'er troops to attack from 48 gates of Bianliang at the same time.

According to Wanyan Zongwang's idea, as long as these Han soldiers can break through any city gate or occupy a section of the city wall, they may force the Song people to take the initiative to seek peace.

However, what Wanyan Zongwang never imagined was that the city lord he was facing was no longer a mediocre general like Yao Youzhong, but Li Xiuning, a well-known female general throughout the ages.

Under Li Xiuning's calm command, the 10,000+ people have thwarted Wanyan Zongwang's waterway surprise attack, tunnel digging, and more than a dozen violent attacks.

The two sides fought an extremely bloody battle around the city wall of Bianliang.

In the ten-day siege battle, Bianliang Minzhuang killed at least 3 people.

Although the Han army who attacked the city were all veterans who had survived many battles, the side that attacked the city was at a natural disadvantage, so they also sacrificed the same number of people.

Even so, Wanyan Zongwang still did not stop attacking the city.

In his opinion, it is to consume all these Han soldiers, as long as Bianliang can be captured, it will be a brilliant victory.

However, at this moment, Zhang Shuye, his father and his son brought [-] strong men from Jingdong to kill them.

When Zhang Shuye's army had just arrived in Xuzhou, it was discovered by the golden scouts.

In order to annihilate the only Song army that dared to come to King Qin in one fell swoop, Jin Bing dispatched two [-]-man teams led by Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Zongbi respectively to intercept Zhang Shuye.

However, the facts have proved that as long as it does not encounter a fatuous and courageous general, the combat effectiveness of the Song Army is not weak.

Zhang Shuye's [-]-strong army fought thirteen consecutive battles with two Jinbing [-]-strong teams. In the end, Wanyan Yinshu and Wanyan Zongbi took the initiative to get out of the way. Zhang Shuye led the remaining [-] strong men to kill Under the city of Bianliang, and completed a breakthrough from the east city where the defense of the Jin soldiers was the weakest, and entered the outer city of Bianliang.

Li Xiuning was overjoyed when she learned that Zhang Shuye had entered the city, and immediately summoned Zhang's father and son, and asked Zhang Shuye to serve as the privy envoy of the Song Dynasty.Both Zhang Bofen and Zhang Zhongxiong were promoted to the high positions of envoys along the way.

With the addition of [-] strong men from Jingdong, the defense of Bianliang City has been completely stabilized.

Next, all the Qin Wang Yijun also rushed to the outside of the city one after another.

At the cost of 10,000+ casualties, these rebels caused thousands of casualties to the Jin soldiers.

However, Li Xiuning did not despise the weak combat power of these rebels.

After all, these are low-level people who are loyal to the emperor and patriotic. They neither have armor nor understand the way of battle, but they dare to fight to the death with the golden soldiers who are armed to the teeth.

This courage alone is enough for Li Xiuning to reward them heavily.

Unlike He Li, Geng Nanzhong and others who hated the righteous people, Li Xiuning did not sit back and watch these rebel casualties.

She ordered Zhang Shuye to open the south city gate, allowing at least [-] rebels to enter the city.And among these rebels, there are Niu Gao, Dong Xian, Kong Yanzhou, Qi Fang and other fierce generals.

With these fearless rebels joining, don't say that Yan Zongwang was reluctant to bear the lives of the golden soldiers. Even if he let the Jurchen elite participate in the siege, regardless of the sacrifices, it would be nothing but casualties.

In mid-February of the second year of Jingkang, seeing that the Bianliang city defense was already at ease, Li Xiuning started to solve another biggest problem.
