Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

Wan Yanchang was leaning against the pond, holding a petite woman in his arms. That woman had snow-white skin and a pretty face.

She snuggled up to Wan Yanchang like a well-behaved little rabbit.

Yu Wenxu knew her, she was the oiran of Yanjing Minglou, and countless people fell in love with her.

Those scholars want to see her beauty in their dreams.

In the eyes of others, she is a high-ranking goddess, but to Wan Yanchang, she is just laughing from below.

"Song and Jin have started fighting again, did you know?" Wan Yanchang said.

"The villain has heard a little bit."

Wan Yanchang said: "What do you think of this matter?"

"The villain only knows that there is going to be a war, how can he know so much?"

"It was Song Jun who made the first move." Wan Yanchang said.

Yu Wenxu said: "Not necessarily."

"Ok?"

"The villain is saying that Song Jun may not have made the first move."

Wan Yanchang said: "It was Yue Fei who sent people to attack Hejian Mansion first, and the military newspaper on the front line wrote it clearly."

"But as far as I know, it was Wanyan Sali of Daizhou who went south to Taiyuan first."

The wine glass in Wan Yanchang's hand was suspended in the air, he got up from the water, looked at Yu Wenxuzhong in surprise: "Really?"

"I also heard about it from a businessman from Daizhou."

"When did this happen?"

"A few days ago."

"Why didn't you tell me earlier?" Wan Yanchang blamed.

"It's just hearsay, how dare a villain disturb Lu Guogong casually."

Wan Yanchang's face was a little gloomy: "How true is this matter?"

"more than half."

He sat back down again, lost in thought.

Zong Wang must know about this matter, and Zong Han should also know about it.

How important is the question of who goes first?

Of course it is very important.

The two countries are not just simply negotiating peace, but have also established a large amount of border trade in the border area, involving the interests of countless people.

Whoever does it first means that whoever destroys everyone's interests.

Externally, the trust of the other party has been violated.

Internally, grant the master and send an excuse.

For the first time, Wan Yanchang truly felt that he was out of control over Yanyun Land.

In name, he is the deputy privy envoy and the highest political official of Yanyun, but in fact, Yanyun and the three towns in Hebei are either from Zongwang or Zonghan, and even Wushu has inserted people in.

And his Wan Yanchang's people are so few that he doesn't know about such an important matter.

No, the status quo must be changed!

A sense of crisis began to emerge in Wan Yanchang's heart.

"If Wanyan Sali drinks the first move, what do you think of this matter?" Wanyan Chang continued to ask.

"This is a major matter for the military and the country. The petty person is humble and light-hearted, so I dare not talk too much."

"It's okay, you can say whatever you want."

Yuwen Xuzhong pretended to hesitate for a while, and said: "Because of this war, the border trade between the two countries was closed, and countless people died in battle. Some people harmed the interests of the majority for their own benefit. The villain believes that the court has its own Make a decision, Your Majesty has his own holy judgment."

"You're right!" Wan Yanchang laughed, and when he smiled, he showed his yellow teeth, "Since it was Wanyan Sali who made the move first, it's easy to say, I will immediately report it to the capital for His Majesty Let's deal with this!"

He added: "By the way, the recent border trade..."

"Border trade has been put on hold, and the amount of imported tea has been greatly reduced."

"What about shipping?"

"The shipping was cut off by the Song people."

Wan Yanchang pondered again. He was thinking about what kind of report to write and submit to Shangjing, so as to stimulate Zong Pan and give Wan Yan Zong some political leverage to deal with Zong Han.

"What is Song Guo's current attitude?" Wan Yanchang asked again.

"The attitude of Song Guo, how can the villain know."

"Didn't you use to be an official in Song State?"

"Since arriving in Dajin, the villain has devoted allegiance to Dajin and dare not have two hearts."

"Hey, if you can use it, you still have to use it. Go and find out Song Guo's real thoughts. I will discuss this matter with His Majesty."

"This is not appropriate, in case it is mistaken for..."

"I asked you to do this. You don't have to worry. If there is any problem, I will protect you."

"Thank you Duke Lu, the villain will do his best."

After Yuwen Xuzhong retreated, Wan Yanchang was no longer interested in playing with women. After getting up from the pool, he dried himself, got dressed and left, and began to write a report to Shangjing.

A new political storm within the Kingdom of Jin began to brew with the outbreak of the fifth Song-Jin War.

July [-]th, Hejian City.

Wanyan Po Luhuo drank gloomily.

He laments that the world has changed.

Seven years ago, the Jin army was still invincible all the way to the south, and the Song army fled and was defeated for thousands of miles.

Now?

Even the fucking Wanyan silver technique was defeated!

What exactly is going on!

How did you lose?

Wanyan Po Luhuo couldn't figure it out.

"You don't have to worry about it," said Li Shuwang, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.

"Do you have a plan to retreat from the enemy?"

"The lower official has no strategy to retreat from the enemy."

"What do you say there is no way to retreat from the enemy?"

"Dutong has asked Yanjing for help, and soon the second prince will personally lead the army to the south, and the Song dog will surely flee!"

"The second prince received the letter, and it took less than two months to dispatch troops, and it was impossible to arrive."

"Why don't we talk to Song Jun first to delay the time."

While the two were discussing, a voice came from outside: "Report! Dutong, there is an urgent report from Yanjing!"

"Yanjing!" Wanyan Polu stopped drinking, ran out excitedly, and snatched the letter from the messenger.

He tore it apart quickly, and then read it quickly.

"Good! Good! Good!" Wanyan Po Lu Huo was overjoyed, "The second prince has already dispatched troops! And Zhong Shu Ling has also arrived! Hundreds of thousands of troops!"

Li Shuwang said excitedly: "I didn't expect the second prince to be so fast! This will definitely make Song Gou come and go!"

"Here's an order to the whole city, we must strictly guard against it!" Wanyan Po Luhuo changed her decadent posture, and immediately felt as if she had poured several bowls of chicken blood.

Chapter 731 The Song Army Who Invested New Weapons in Batches (Second Change)

The evening sun cast long shadows on the plain.

The military flag fluttered in the breeze, and there were bursts of noisy sounds from the barracks ahead.

Someone is holding a sumo wrestling match, and people from both sides are cheering up their own people.

Sumo wrestling was very popular in the Song Dynasty. It was not two big fat men wrestling, but two strong men.

As for the sumo wrestling in Japan in later generations, it was learned from the Song Dynasty and changed.

Not only sumo, but also some military camps are holding cuju.

There are also places where polo is being played, and soldiers take off their armor, ride horses, hold polo sticks, and gallop across the open space.

The logistics department is unloading the food that has just been shipped, as well as a batch of medicinal materials.

Zhang Xian was holding a picture at this time, frowning and looking at it for a long time, he said: "Can this thing really destroy the city wall of Hejian City?"

Li Chunsheng, a doctor in the Ministry of Industry, said: "Zhang Dutong, Wu Shuai has verified it. Two months ago, Wu Shuai used it to defeat Baode's city wall and captured Zhe Keqiu alive. I heard that Zhe Keqiu will soon arrive in the capital."

"Wu Jie used it to defeat Zhe Keqiu?"

"It's just saying that the city wall was broken and the war was ended early."

Zhang Xian looked at the group of people in the engineering battalion who were busy in front, and he still didn't believe it, not only he didn't believe it, but Yao Zheng didn't believe it either.

Yao Zheng said, "Do you think I've never seen a trebuchet?"

Li Chunsheng quickly explained: "This is the latest trebuchet produced by the Ministry of Industry. It is larger than the previous trebuchets and has a longer mileage."

"It's far enough to smash through the walls of Hejian City?"

Li Chunsheng looked at the brick wall of Hejian City, and felt a little uncertain. He said, "But the power is indeed greater."

"Then we'll wait and see!" Yao Zheng laughed.

Obviously, Yao Zheng didn't quite believe Li Chunsheng's words.

Even Zhang Xian didn't believe it. The reason why they cooperated with Li Chunsheng was because of the order from above, which was directly issued by the Military and Political Yuan.

Twenty such trebuchets had to be completed.

The engineer battalion is currently working overtime day and night to build.

"I see, thank you for your hard work." Zhang Xian was still very polite.

Li Chunsheng saluted and said, "It's all about cooperating with Yue Shuai, we are willing to do what a dog can do."

Zhang Xian nodded and took the people away.

Yao Zheng muttered, "If that thing is really useful, I'll slap that Li Chunsheng twice in the face!"

The surrounding soldiers were silent, obviously they all heard what Yao Zheng said.

Yao Zheng was not afraid, he said to the people around him: "You have heard it, if that thing is really so magical, you remember, pull me in front of Li Chunsheng, let him slap me hard twice."

The soldiers didn't dare to say anything, Yao Zheng said: "What are you afraid of, man, you can keep your word!"

Everyone nodded quickly.

Zhang Xian said: "Okay, don't talk about it, after all, they are here to help us."

At such a close distance, Li Chunsheng must have heard what Yao Zheng said just now.

"I know they are kind, but instead of building those catapults, it's better to build more goose carts. Could the catapults be able to throw soldiers into the city?"

Yao Zheng's impression of trebuchets is still in the past.

In the past, when catapults attacked the city, their role was mainly at the psychological level, and the actual destructive power was not very great, especially for the city walls made of bricks.

At night, Wanyan Po Luhuo went to the city to inspect.

The guards of the Jin Army were all twelve times more energetic.

"It's all guarded!" Wanyan Po Luhuo yelled loudly, "Soon the Second Prince of Yanjing's army will go south, and then kill all those Song dogs!"

Wanyan Po Luhuo's voice echoed in the city.

Everyone's exhausted psychology cheered up after hearing this.

"Report! Dutong, a few scouts reported today that the Song Army is building trebuchets."
