In the imperial study room, Zhao Huan listened to Bai Shizhong's report expressionlessly, nodded for a while and said, "I understand, Mr. Bai will retreat first!"

Bai Shizhong suddenly became a little anxious. They waited for the official family to come out of the palace for nearly half an hour. Now it is less than an hour before darkness, so there is no time to continue to procrastinate.

"Your Majesty! There is no time anymore."

"I know very well in my heart, let's go back!"

"His Majesty"

"I asked you to retreat!" Zhao Huan suddenly scolded angrily.

Bai Shizhong was stunned and had to lower his head, "I obey the order!" He slowly retreated.

Zhao Huan turned back to the inner palace, his face gradually turned pale. The Jin soldiers actually wanted all the women in his palace, which made him intolerable.

At this time, Geng Nanzhong was brought over by a eunuch, and he bowed and said, "See Your Majesty!"

"What's going on with the negotiation today? The Jin people actually wanted my palace maid?" Zhao Huan asked glaring at Geng Nanzhong.

No one expected that Geng Nanzhong was Zhao Huan's confidant. Although Sun Fu and Wu Min had both been Zhao Huan's masters, they also received the reward from Zhao Huan and were promoted to prime minister. Unfortunately, they were too far away from Geng Nanzhong in terms of observing words and charm. Geng Nanzhong had been in the Eastern Palace for many years and had already figured out Zhao Huan's temperament.

"At the beginning, the Jin people did make this request."

"What does it mean to be the beginning? Did it change later?" Zhao Huan asked in confusion.

"Your Majesty, at the beginning, it was just a golden man asking for a price all over the place, just like five million taels of gold. In the end, we could only give one million taels of silver and five million pieces of silk. The other party accepted it. As for the woman, the other party changed his words and asked for ten thousand young girls."

Zhao Huan's face suddenly became ugly, "You mean, do you want the woman in my palace to talk to herself?"

"It's not entirely true. When Mr. Bai confirmed to the other party, he added a sentence, does he include all the palace maids? Wanyan Xie made a clear statement. Among the ten thousand young girls, all the palace maids are also included. If Mr. Bai doesn't have many words, Mr. Bai should not ask for the palace maids!"

"This damn bastard!" Zhao Huan cursed gritted his teeth.

Geng Nanzhong was secretly proud of his heart, but the stabbing seemed to be far from enough. He whispered again: "When Mr. Bai reported on the affairs of the Supreme Emperor, he was still slightly different from the facts."

"What?"

"Your Majesty, the Supreme Emperor's words "filial piety is the first of all virtues" are not entirely directed at Your Majesty."

Zhao Huan frowned, "How did you say the original words?"

"The Supreme Emperor said that filial piety is the first priority for all virtues. I hope they can understand the suffering of the Supreme Emperor in the Golden Camp. The Supreme Emperor is talking about them, and it should refer to all the princes, not just His Majesty."

"what else?"

"Also, when Mr. Bai was worried that when His Majesty disagreed with the palace maid, he took the initiative to ask Wanyan Xie to meet the Supreme Emperor. He said that as long as the Supreme Emperor agreed, His Majesty would not dare not refuse."

‘Bang!’ Zhao Huan was finally furious and punched him hard on the table. If Bai Shizhong was unable to deal with the matter of the palace maid before, it could be explained that he was weak and incompetent. Now he deliberately used his father to suppress himself, which violated Zhao Huan's rebellious scale and made him intolerable.

"Your Majesty, the Jin soldiers asked us to release our property and women out of the city before dusk. What should we do?"

Zhao Huan snorted coldly, "Do you think I will give the palace maids and concubines to the Jin soldiers to ravage them?"

Geng Nanzhong was speechless, and Zhao Huan ordered again: "Transfer my order and send imperial meals to the military camp to reward the three armies. As long as you defend Tokyo City, soldiers will reward 500 acres of land, and the general will be promoted to the third level!"

At this moment, Zhao Huan changed from a compromise faction to a pro-war faction.

Not long after, an order was heard from the palace. When Shengbai was promoted, he became the Taifu and transferred to the Jiangnan Road Xuanfu Envoy.

There was no obvious handle in Bai Shizhong, so of course it was not easy to stop the prime minister directly. Zhao Huan used the means of rising and descending in secret to seize the prime minister's power in Bai Shizhong.

Zhao Huan immediately issued an order, promoting Geng Nanzhong to the right prime minister, and was in the same position as the Secretariat of the Central Secretariat to Pingzhang.

Dusk has quietly come, the sun has already set, but the sky has not yet darkened, and the sky has gradually turned into a dark blue color. There is only a trace of bright yellow in the distance, which has struggled to support the arrival of night.

About three miles from the capital, 50,000 Jin soldiers had already lined up in an orderly manner, waiting for the order to attack. They followed ten giant ladders and twenty siege siege vehicles among them. Wanyan Zongwang was riding on the war horse, looking at the city with a complicated expression. This was his second time attacking it. The first time he ended in a crushing defeat. What about this time?

However, after full preparation and several months of operation, he had already gained strong confidence in himself, and he believed that he would definitely be able to break through the capital of the Song Dynasty this time.

"Marcedes-Master is here!"

A soldier behind him shouted. Wanyan Zongwang turned around and saw the army making way. Marshal Du Wanyan Xie was also slowly riding here under the escort of a thousand cavalry.

Wanyan Zongwang quickly stepped forward and bowed: "See Marshal Du!"

Wanyan Xie nodded, looked at the capital in the distance, and asked, "Is there any movement in the city?"

"If it refers to negotiations, there is no movement, but their troops have all come to the city. It seems that they are preparing to fight us to the death."

Wanyan Xie also smiled faintly, "It seems that we still need to hit them hard again. Only by hurting them hard can they listen to me honestly."

"Is Marshal Du really ready to resolve the issue through negotiation?"

Wanyan Xie also looked at him with some dissatisfaction, "Did you forget how I told you?"

Wanyan Zongwang was so scared that he didn't dare to ask more questions. Wanyan Xie said coldly: "Whether war, negotiation, or extortion of women's property, they are all a means. Our purpose is to make the Song Dynasty surrender to the Jin Kingdom and be completely conquered by us!"

"I remember it thoroughly."

Wanyan Xie also looked at the sky again. The last bright yellow in the sky had disappeared. The night finally came. Wanyan Xie also sighed long, "I was going to look at the bright moon, but the bright moon shone on the ditch. Time is here, attack!"

"Attack!" Wanyan Zongwang waved his sword and roared.

‘Woooo’

The low sound of deer antlers echoed in the field, followed by the sound of golden drums, and the Jin soldiers rushed towards the city like a tide, with huge nest carts and cloud ladders rolling in the middle.

Wanyan Xie also saw that the army had launched an attack, so he coldly ordered: "The West City starts to operate!"

The battlefield was extremely tragic. The catapult on the city wall kept waving its long arms and threw away the lit thunders to the dense enemy group. Fifty thousand gold soldiers ran wildly in the wilderness with shields and swords. When the thunders thunders flew overhead, someone shouted, and all the soldiers around them lay down and covered their vital points with shields.

Wanyan Zongwang has not been idle in the past few months of the armistice negotiations. He has been training the soldiers to deal with the Thunder. He also set up a Thunderbolt soldier among each team of soldiers. Their duty is to focus on the Thunderbolt. Once the Thunderbolt is thrown, he will shout loudly to warn. If the Thunderbolt soldier is killed, a new person will immediately replace him.

The thunder thunder exploded. Although the momentum was terrifying, it was not very lethal to the Jin soldiers lying on the ground. Only a dozen people near the explosion site were killed by shock waves, and no other soldiers were injured by shrapnel. After the explosion was over, countless soldiers climbed up again and rushed towards the city.

Outside Xinzheng Gate, all the buildings were completely demolished, the trees were gone, and there were no houses, and there were bare areas everywhere. Even Baoyanzhai's headquarters no longer exists. There were piles of mud and bricks everywhere, and there were deserted for several months, and the weeds were growing wildly, and they were almost half a person tall.

There is also a Jin army camp stationed here, just on the north bank of Hongqiao, with 20,000 troops. The troops here are obviously not for siege, but for preventing the army in the city from breaking through and the army that serves the king into the city.

At this time, the night was already deep, with drums rumbling in the direction of the north city wall, and shouting and killing were shocking, but outside Xinzheng City was particularly quiet. Perhaps the Song army also knew that there were too few troops outside the West City, and Xicheng would not be the main battlefield, so there were not many defensive troops in Xicheng, with only more than 4,000 people.

In fact, Xicheng really cannot set up a battlefield, mainly because the Bian River flows through not far from the city gate, and there is not much airspace for the army to gather on a large scale.

At this moment, a shadow of more than a hundred people quickly approached the city gate with the cover of weeds. Each of them was holding a dark thunder in their hands, with as many as a hundred.

The defenders on the top of the city did not find them, and soon they were close to the wall.
