A huge construction site has been turned into a surrounding Linhuang Mansion City!

A trench surrounding Linhuangfucheng is now completed and wide and can't even cross the best war horses. There are many sharpened wooden stakes inserted at the bottom of the trench, which makes you feel terrible. On the outside of the trench (near Linhuangfucheng as the inside) a circle of lattice wooden fences were built. Behind the wooden fence, there are also sandbags piled up a circle of low walls. Behind the low walls, there are twelve three-sided and hexagonal sandbags that are under construction!

On the left and right of every bastion construction site where construction is underway, there are brigades of Red Turban infantry, Red Turban cavalry and Khitan cavalry lined up to wait for the Jin soldiers in Linhuang Prefecture to come out to fight!

It turned out that the "comprehensive siege project" surrounding Linhuangfu City was under construction. The project started on the fifth day of June. After the 100,000 Song and Liao coalition forces from the west of the Thousand Mile Pine Forest and the 100,000 Song troops from Yizhou met, they did not immediately attack the city. Instead, they began to build this siege project after setting up camp.

Because more than 100,000 people worked together (some people had to be responsible for the alert), the project progressed very quickly. By the end of June, except for the twelve three-sided hexagonal basins piled with sandbags that had not been completed, the entire siege construction was almost completed.

Starting from late June, the besieged troops continued to drive away. However, the besieged troops left around Linhuang Mansion were still around 80,000. Although the number was not large, relying on the completed trenches, fences, low walls and basically completed bastions (the part facing Linhuang Mansion has been completed), it is enough to trap the 200,000 to 300,000 Jinguo soldiers and civilians in the city.

The troops that drove away turned south to attack the Dading Prefecture occupied by Wanyan Zongbi. The reason why the Song army did not siege the city was not only to avoid unnecessary losses, but also to have the intention of surrounding and supporting the enemy, and to lead Wanyan Zongbi from the Yanshan Mountains to the grassland on the south bank of Huanghe River!

However, Wanyan Zongbi is not a good-looking person, and he doesn't care so much about Wanyan Liang's life and death.

Therefore, after learning that the Song army besieged Linhuang Mansion, Wanyan Zongbi did not look at Linhuang Mansion at all. Instead, he concentrated his troops to deal with the five Song army troops that were attacking Xingzhong Mansion, trying to repel them first, and then dismantle the remaining troops and go west or retreat north.

However, the Song army that invaded Xingzhong Prefecture was not a good deal. They repelled Wanyan Zongbi's attacks in the field battle outside Xingzhong Prefecture. On June 25, they also broke through Xingzhong Prefecture, where Wanyan Zongbi was heavily deployed.

Just as Xingzhong Prefecture was captured by the Song army, the main force of the Song and Liao coalition forces, who had been waiting (and under construction) on the northern line for more than half a month, finally divided up more than 100,000 troops to move south. They began to march towards the northern part of the Yanshan Mountains with a relatively open terrain, and rushed to Dading Prefecture, the old nest that Wanyan Zongbi had managed for many years.

The terrain of the Yanshan Mountains is the southern foot, the western foot is narrow, the northern foot, and the eastern foot is wide. If the Song army wants to march from the west and the south, some Wanyan Zongbi will be able to resist step by step.

If the Song army detours from east to north to attack Yanshan, Wanyan Zongbi will be in trouble. Cities like Dading Prefecture and Xingzhong Prefecture cannot be defended at all, and it is difficult to move north and west. The best outcome is to hide in the deep mountains and become a bandit... But he is Wanyan Zongbi, and his head is valuable!

However, the people trapped in Linhuang Mansion City did not know how difficult Wanyan Zongbi had in these days? They also did not know that most of the Song and Liao coalition forces surrounding Linhuang Mansion had been withdrawn.

They only knew that the long trenches, fences and bastions of the Song army used to besiege Linhuang Mansion were becoming stronger and stronger day by day, and it was almost solid and solid!

Everyone already knows that they can no longer run away!

The only hope now is that the Song and Liao coalition forces have exhausted their food and grass, and they have no food and retreated... But seeing that their project outside Linhuang Prefecture City is so big, they are probably ready to live a long life outside Linhuang Prefecture City, right?

The national fortune of this great gold...is probably over!

......

Of course, it is very difficult to endure when you are trapped in an isolated city!

Even Wanyan Liang, who was teenager who didn't know the taste of sorrow, also grew seven or eight years old from June to February of the 12th year of Hongwu in the Song Dynasty. The 17-year-old young man now looks like he is "old" at the age of twenty-five or six... This is not like living a day, at least it is like living a month!

The food stored in the lonely city of Linhuang Prefecture was almost exhausted by February of the 12th year of Hongwu.

Two or three hundred thousand people have lived half-hungry and half-full since July of the 11th year of Hongwu. They were hungry for several months. By February of the 12th year, they could not even maintain the minimum rations. From the beginning of February, the starvation began to spread in Linhuang Mansion. Yes, it was a legend, because no one had ever seen the body of a starving person...

The even more terrifying proposal was mentioned to the court by ministers since early February.

"Your Majesty, there are no reinforcements outside Linhuang Mansion and no food and grass inside, so I can't hold on anymore. It's better to send an envoy to the Southern Dynasty to ask for peace..."

The person who proposed to make peace was Xiao Zhonggong. He was a loyal minister of two dynasties. Now it seems that he is ready to be a three minister!

He paused and said, "Your Majesty, I can go to the Song camp to negotiate with the emperor of the Song people. How can I fight for your Majesty a way to survive!"

Of course there is a way to survive... The Song army's letter of persuasion of surrender had long been shot into the city with a bed crossbow (this is the new usage of the bed crossbow). The letter had already issued a condition: to avoid death if you surrender.

Only avoid death!

Nothing else!

Of course Wanyan Liang was unwilling to give up... He had already studied it. The Song Dynasty was not so kind to treat surrendered kings. There was a set meal for the drug to die and the cuckold king!

He is still young, only 17 years old, so why is he willing to take the medicine to kill him suddenly?

Moreover, his three wives were all young and beautiful, and many noble girls from the Jurchens, Bohai and Khitans had an affair with him... As soon as he surrendered, these women would all belong to Zhao Kai.

Thinking of this, he turned his head to see two unlucky uncles Wanyan Zongqiang and Wanyan Zongmin.

"Your Majesty," said Wanyan Zongqiang, "The food in the city is gone...the animals have been eaten, but there are still people who can eat..."

He spoke in a low voice, but the monarch and ministers in the hall could hear it clearly.

"What? Eat, eat people?" Wanyan Liang's eyes almost fell out when he heard this suggestion.

Wanyan Zongmin saw Wanyan Liang's fussy look and quickly comforted her: "Your Majesty, don't worry, this human flesh... is also meat! You can eat it if it's meat!"

Wanyan Liang was stunned for a while and couldn't speak for a long time. After a while, he murmured: "Why did I fall to such a level? There is no other way except to eat human flesh?"

Xiao Zhonggong said: "You can ask for peace! Your Majesty... Eating human flesh is not a long-term solution after all!"

That's right, there's not much human flesh!

Although there are more than 200,000 people in Linhuang Prefecture City, not all of them can be eaten. If they have finished eating, what should the Song army outside kill in?

So you can only eat the elderly, weak, women and children, and they are also the ones who can fight in the city! How long can you eat this way? What should you do after you finish eating?

"After eating, I still have to ask for peace..." Xiao Zhonggong looked sad, "It's better to ask for peace now, so that I can live a little more lives."

Wanyan Liangxin said: Now there are two choices. Should I be the cuckold king immediately? Or should I eat someone who is a month old and then be the cuckold king? Since I can't escape, I won't eat this human flesh!

Thinking of this, he had to sigh: "Well... it's going to be a blessing for Xiao Qing."

Xiao Zhonggong smiled bitterly and said, "Your Majesty, I have no friendship with the Song Dynasty officials, so it is not convenient to seek peace... There is someone in the court who has an old relationship with the Song Dynasty officials. If he can let him go with me, he might be able to negotiate better conditions."

"Who? Who has the old age with Zhao Kai?"

"Haibin Hou Yelu Yanxi and the Song Dynasty's great officials have old ones..."

Wanyan Liang was stunned, "Is Yelu Yanxi the original emperor of the Liao Kingdom? Why are he and Zhao Kai old?"

"Your Majesty," said Xiao Zhonggong, "The Song Dynasty officials are his father and emperor!"

There is really old, not only old, but also relatives!

Wanyan Liang sighed and said to Xiao Zhonggong: "Well, I will let Yelu Yanxi go with you... I have no other conditions. I just want to be an Anle Gong in Shuntian Prefecture and be able to live a peaceful life with my family, and be content."

Xiao Zhonggong said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty's officials are kind and will definitely let you go to Shuntian Prefecture to enjoy your happiness."

Wanyan Liang sighed: "I hope this is the case!"

......

"What? Yelu Yanxi and Xiao Zhonggong came to seek peace for Wanyan Liang?"

In Liaoyang Prefecture, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was walking in the middle of the journey. He was bowing his head and writing a commendation edict to Han Shizhong, who was in charge of the encirclement and suppression of Wanyan Zongbi. After listening to Yu Yunwen's report, he raised his head and showed a look of pride.

Can you be unsatisfied?

What else is Wanyan Liang asking for now? Just surrender!

Because Wanyan Zongbi, whom he could count on, was forced to go to the end last winter and hid deep in Yanshan... Just a few days ago, Han Shizhong and Huang Wuji jointly submitted a report to Zhao Kai that Wanyan Zongbi and his son were betrayed by his subordinates, and both of them were cut off and sent to Dading Mansion. Now these two heads are rushing to Liaoyang Mansion, and Zhao Kai will soon see them.

Zhao Kai smiled and said again: "Father Bin, you can go to the Linhuang Mansion Army for me, take Wanyan Zongbing and Wanyan Heng's heads... to let Xiao Zhonggong recognize them. If these two heads are true, then the Jin Kingdom will be completely finished.
Chapter completed!
