Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

After Guo Jing finished speaking, he took the remaining hundreds of soldiers to the city wall and went out of the city to defend against the enemy.

Of course, Guo Jing has self-knowledge, how could he really fight Jin Jun?This is just his golden cicada's plan to get out of the shell.

After leaving the city gate, Guo Jing took hundreds of magic soldiers and ran away without a trace.

Zhang Shuye's hopes were shattered, so he had no choice but to accept the result of the failure of the magic weapon.

The reason why Guo Jing was allowed to escape was, of course, to make him take the blame for this defeat.

The imperial court can only admit that it was deceived by Guo Jing, and it is absolutely impossible for people to know that the imperial court and Guo Jing have jointly deceived the soldiers and civilians in the city!

Guo Jing's disappearance is the most beneficial for the court to shirk responsibility.

Chapter 942 I'm in trouble

Hundreds of golden cavalry were like cutting wheat, and quickly beheaded the seven thousand soldiers and generals of the Song army.

Immediately afterwards, Wanyan Yinshu led the Jin army towards Xuanhua Gate.

At this time, on the suspension bridge over the Hulong River, the corpses of the god soldiers were piled up like a hill, and the defenders in the city tried their best to pull the suspension bridge.

More than a dozen strong men of the Golden Army rushed forward with huge axes in their hands, and slashed wildly at the iron chains on the suspension bridge.The iron chain was quickly broken, and Jin Jun successfully grabbed the suspension bridge.

A steady stream of Jin troops rushed across the suspension bridge and rushed to the Xuanhua gate.

Fortunately, the Song Army closed the Xuanhua Gate in time and blocked the Jin Army from the city gate.

Seeing that he failed to grab the city gate, Wanyan Yinshu was furious. He commanded the Jin army to smash into the city gate with crashing cars and giant logs, while setting up many ladders and swarming up the city wall.

This time, the defensive strength of the Song army on Xuanhuamen was minimal, and did not pose much hindrance to the Jin army.The vanguard soldiers of the Jin Army climbed to the top of the city one after another.

The Song army on the city saw the disastrous defeat of Guo Jing's magic soldiers, and the last bit of faith also collapsed. Although the Song army on the city was ten times stronger than the Jin army who ascended the city, no one stepped forward to fight desperately.

Seeing the Jin army approaching, the officers and soldiers guarding the city looked away one after another and gave up resistance.Xuanhuamen in Nancheng soon fell into the hands of the Jin army.

The forward of the Jin Army opened the Xuanhua Gate, and Wanyan Yinshuke's large troops rolled in immediately.

The news of the fall of Xuanhuamen in the outer city spread, and the Song army in the defensive gates of Bianliang City in Tokyo was in chaos.

The soldiers fled everywhere, the city became a mess, and the situation became unmanageable.

Seeing that Xuanhua Gate had fallen, Zhang Shuye led his own troops to retreat to the inner city to protect the emperor.

Commander Yao Youzhong stopped the retreating Song army in Nancheng and asked them to retake Xuanhuamen, but they were dragged off their horses by the frenzied soldiers and civilians, stabbed to death with random knives.

Huang Jinguo, the internal servant and supervisor in charge of defending the southern city, saw that the city wall had fallen, and in desperation, he went to the fire and committed suicide.

In the imperial city, Emperor Zhao Huan thought that Guo Jing's magical soldiers had already defeated the Jin army, and was secretly happy when he was shocked to hear that the south gate had fallen.Zhao Huan was so frightened that he wailed loudly and said, "I regret that I didn't use the teacher's words. It's too late now."

Frightened, Zhao Huan hurriedly summoned ministers and princes to the palace to discuss matters, but the city was chaotic, and only Zhao Huan's sixth younger brother Jing Wang Zhao Qi, ministers Xie Kejia and Li Ruoshui were summoned.

After discussing with King Jing and others, Zhao Huan dispatched the three of King Jing to the Jin Army to ask Wanyan Zonghan for peace, and to inquire about the terms of the Jin Army's peace negotiation.

Before King Jing and the three set off, the Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji also sent a decree, asking Zhao Huan to try his best to meet the requirements of the Jin Army, and he could pay the land for compensation, and asked the Jin Army to restrain the soldiers and not massacre the people in the city.

King Jing and the three rushed to Wanyan Zonghan's camp to seek peace with the will of Emperor Zhao Huan and Supreme Emperor Zhao Ji.

After King Jing and the three left, Emperor Zhao Huan felt uneasy, so he summoned more than [-] guards of the imperial guards in the palace, intending to flee from the enemy.

Zhang Shuye and Liu Yanqing also persuaded Emperor Zhao Huan to escape from Bianliang City in Tokyo and take refuge in Xiangyang.

Zhao Huan wanted to escape, but also worried that the outer city would be occupied by the Jin army and he would not be able to escape, so he hesitated.

Seeing this, Liu Yanqing said to Zhao Huan: "Your Majesty, the outer city of the capital has been destroyed, and the inner city cannot be defended. Your Majesty does not want to be captured by the Jin people, so you must not be trapped here! There are still [-] loyal and brave Western troops under your command. Soldiers, I am willing to take a door for His Majesty first and escort His Majesty to the south."

After Zhao Huan heard this, he made an agreement with Liu Yanqing and Zhang Shuye to arrange the soldiers and horses that night and prepare to flee.

In the early morning of the next day, Liu Yanqing led the troops to capture Wanshengmen in the west city. Zhang Shuye escorted Emperor Zhao Huanyu from the imperial city to Wanshengmen to reconcile with Liu Yanqing, and fled westward to Xiangyang or Jingzhao Mansion for refuge.

After the three of them discussed in secret, Liu Yanqing immediately left the palace, and together with his eldest son, Liu Guangguo, reorganized the army and horses, and made preparations to break out of the encirclement.

At this time in the inner city, "Flower Arm" Lu Xiaoyi walked out of Guanyinyuan, returned to the stronghold of the capital, and sighed to Zhang San and Li Si who were waiting here: "Brother Ximen is really a man of gods. The day when the city is broken! Quickly use the pigeons to send a message to Brother Ximen of the latest battle situation."

Zhang San also said: "Brother Xiao Yi is right! The officials not only calculated when the city was broken, but also calculated that Xuanhuamen must be the first to fall!

If it is said that a high official is not a god descending to earth, I, Zhang San, dare to fight him desperately!

In the past, the younger brother I admired the most was Master Lu, but now the person I admire the most is the official! "

Li Si tied the secret letter written by Lu Xiaoyi to the legs of the pigeons, and after releasing three pigeons in a row, he turned around and said: "Brother Zhang San, it is because the official is like a fairy that our master will work for him." Ah! Speaking of which, I miss Master a little."

Lu Xiaoyi smiled and said, "Master Lu and Brother Ximen are together, and they will lead troops into Tokyo City in a short time. We brothers must be ready to meet Brother Ximen."

"Brother Xiaoyi, the Jin army has occupied the outer city wall, are they really not going to enter the inner city? Do you want to call the brothers together?"

Li Si asked Lu Xiaoyi.

"No need to be like this. Brother Ximen said that the Jin army has strict discipline. After they occupy the outer city wall, they will not enter the city to make trouble. As long as the court surrenders to the Jin army, the Jin army will not attack the inner city. Of course, we must trust Brother Ximen's judgment. .”

Lu Xiaoyi sat on the chair, poured himself a cup of tea, and said in a relaxed manner.

"Brother Xiaoyi is right, we will wait and follow our plan."

Zhang San echoed from the side.

After a while, Zhang San and Li Si took dozens of brothers out and scattered them to every corner of Bianliang City in Tokyo.

……

In the early morning of the 25th, Liu Yanqing, Liu Guangguo and his son led [-] troops to launch a counterattack and took back Wanshengmen in Xicheng.

When the soldiers and civilians in the outer city heard that Liu Yanqing's army had opened the Wansheng Gate, they all came to watch.

Liu Yanqing waited anxiously for Emperor Zhao Huan's driving while lining up the army formation to prepare for the battle.

However, Emperor Zhao Huan has been blocked by the people in the city at the Xuande Gate of the imperial city.

Last night, it was rumored in the market that the emperor was going to abandon Bianliang City in Tokyo and escape far away. The people in the city suddenly felt that they had lost their backbone and gathered outside Xuandemen to petition the emperor.

Zhao Huan heard that the people in the capital were gathering outside the imperial city, so he boarded the Xuande Gate to meet the people.

Seeing Emperor Zhao Huan, thousands of people shouted long live, begging the emperor to stay in the capital and not to abandon the soldiers and civilians in the city.

At the same time, these common people clamored for the imperial court to issue them armor so that they could protect themselves against the Jin army.

Emperor Zhao Huan was hesitant to abandon the city and escape, but now that the people are making such a fuss, Zhao Huan immediately disregarded Zhang Shuye's advice and gave up the idea of ​​leaving the city.

Furthermore, with so many people guarding, Zhao Huan's royal driver could not leave the inner city.
