The Song army was in a dilemma, and there was no other way except to jump into the river. The Mongolian army Zhang Hongfan, Dong Wenbing and others sent elite soldiers to attack, killing the Song army in a mess. Zhang Shijie could not resist, so he had to run back to Mount Wu and abandon more than 700 warships. Liu Shiyong returned to Changzhou, and Sun Huchen returned to Zhenzhou.

Zhang Shijie submitted a request for reinforcements, but several of the Song court's ruling opinions were dissatisfied and excluded each other, so what else do you want to care about Zhang Shijie? When Zhang Shijie sent troops before, King Pingzhang reported: "Chen, please leave two prime ministers. One person should be sent to supervise the Wumen, otherwise you will do it yourself." Chen Yi was suspicious and secretly blocked Wang's suggestion. When Zhang Shijie was defeated in Jiaoshan, Wang asked again: "Now both prime ministers are governors, and the temple calculation orders are not allowed.

Predictions. Recently, because the army was released in June, the generals did not have unified dispatch. I don’t know that the distance between Wumen and Beijing was not far? However, because the enemy was in front, if His Majesty had not led the army in person, even if the ministers were sent to supervise the war, they could only be responsible for the task and retreat. Now Zhang Shijie failed because of the generals' disagreement. Let me ask how many defeats the country can bear today. Since I have no position to defend and refuse to obey. I am ashamed of my position and begging for the important task of pacifying Zhang." The Empress Dowager did not allow it.

Then, Liu Jiugao and others, the students of Beijing, wrote a letter to list the affairs of Chen Yizhong's abusing power and harming the country, which was no less than Jia Sidao, but they did not receive a reply. Chen Yizhong actually left in disappointment. The Empress Dowager sent an envoy to recall it, but he could not call it back many times. He had no choice but to arrest Liu Jiugao and others and imprisoned. Wang Pingzhang's military and national affairs, and Wang died of illness soon. Chen Yizhong returned to Wenzhou but still did not return to the court. The Empress Dowager wrote a handwritten letter to Chen Yizhong's mother, Yang, and asked her to urge Chen Yizhong to join.

Chen Yizhong still begged to be the preacher of the temple officials and went to the Liquan Temple envoy. At that time, there was no left prime minister, and the Empress Dowager wanted to summon Li Tingzhi as the position. Therefore, he was appointed Xia Gui as the Deputy Envoy of the Privy Council and the Ambassador of the Prosecution of the Two Huai Rivers, and ordered him to intervene with Zhu Huan, the Deputy Envoy of the Huaidong General, Yangzhou. Xia Gui refused to accept the order, and Zhu Huan still returned to Yangzhou, and even Li Tingzhi could not leave the office.

Wen Tianxiang led his troops to Beijing to serve the king and was appointed as the prefect of Pingjiang. When Wen Tianxiang was about to leave, he submitted a memorial to build four towns. The court had just used Liu Mengyan as the left prime minister, and then appointed Chen Yizhong as the right prime minister, and was also the Privy Councilor, and the general of the army and horses. When the two saw this memorial, the shop thought it was difficult to move, so they put it aside and did not answer. Wen Tianxiang sighed and left.

The commander of the Yuan Mongolian army, Bo Yan, crossed the Yangtze River from Jiankang, divided his troops into three groups, and advanced eastward at the same time. Alahan and Auruchi led the right army out of Si'an Town in Guangde and headed straight to Dusong Pass. Dong Wenbing and Jiang Wei led the left army to Jiangyin, attacked Zepu and Huating, and used Fan Wenhu as the vanguard. Bo Yan led the central army and marched into Changzhou, and ordered Lu Wenhuan as the vanguard. The Mongolian army advanced along the water and land, preparing to join forces in Lin'an.

Wen Tianxiang arrived in Pingjiang, and the Yuan army had set out from Jinling to Changzhou. Wen Tianxiang sent his generals Zhu Hua, Yin Yu, Ma Shilong and Zhang Quan to assist Changzhou. When he arrived at Yuqiao, Ma Shilong was killed in battle. Zhu Hua led the Guangnan army to fight at Wumu. He was defeated. Yin Yu was also defeated. He rushed to cross the water and drove the ferry in Zhang Quan's army. Zhang Quan's soldiers cut off their fingers and drowned. Yin Yu led 500 remaining soldiers to fight at night, and they were all killed in battle the next morning. Zhang Quan did not fire a single arrow and fled and retreated. The reinforcements in Changzhou were cut off, and the situation was critical. The governor Yao Zhi, the governor Chen Xu, the chief magistrate Wang Anjie and Liu Shiyong worked together to defend.

Boyan sent an envoy to surrender, and every means

For example, I never heard of it. Therefore, the residents outside the city ordered the land to be used as a fortress, and the people and the soil were filled together, and the shells were killed and bombarded the city. The city was in danger, and Chen Xu and others defended their wills more and more. Boyan then supervised the army in front of the tent, fought bravely and advanced from all directions, and the city was captured and Chen Xu died in battle. Wang Anjie was captured and scolded the enemy. The residents of the city were slaughtered. Only Liu Shiyong broke through the encirclement with the eight cavalry and fled to Pingjiang.

The Mongolian general Ling Alahan also captured Si'an Town of Guangde's army, and other generals Suduldai, Li Heng and others marched into Longxing, and successively captured eleven cities in Jiangxi, heading straight to Fuzhou. The pacifier Huang Wanshi fled to Jianchang, the governor Miyou, and led his troops to fight against Jixianping. He was defeated and was sentenced calmly. The Mongolian army advanced to Jianchang again and commanded Mi Li to fight against Jiangfang, and was also captured by the Mongolian army. Alahan persuaded him to surrender, but Mi Li refused to surrender and was eventually killed.

The court ordered Xie Fangde to entrust Jiangxi, and most of the counties and counties in Jiangxi were occupied by the enemy. Xie Fangde had a very good relationship with Lu Shikui, and wanted to write a letter to encourage him to introduce peace talks. Lu Shikui just happened to go north and didn't have time to come back, so he asked to change his name to Xinzhou. The Mongolian general Alahan pacified Jiangxi and attacked Dusong Pass. The guard Zhang Ruwen fled.

The court was extremely afraid and hurriedly urged Wen Tianxiang to enter Beijing to protect him. Wen Tianxiang discussed with Zhang Shijie and said, "If the Huaidong is a strong wall, Fujian and Guangxi are in full swing. If the enemy is in a bloody battle, if they win, they will order the Huai army to intercept the enemy's rear. There may be some potential for state affairs." Zhang Shijie also agreed very much, so he submitted a memorial to the Song court. However, Chen Yizhong submitted a memorial to the Empress Dowager, saying that the king's army must be cautious and dispel their memorial.

The left prime minister Liu Mengyan left without telling him. Chen Yizhong had no other method, so he could only ask for peace. He sent Liu Yue, the assistant minister of the Ministry of Works, to the Mongolian army to communicate with each other. Liu Yue came to Wuxi and met Boyan. While crying, he asked: "Sijun is young and has never been polite to mourn. Why did your country build an army? Besides, before breaking trust and breaking the alliance, they were all due to Jia Sidao. Now Jia Sidao has been killed, so your country can also forgive you for your crimes."

Boyan said unhappily: "You kill our envoys, so we have to raise an army to punish. In the past, Qian's family took over the land and Li's family surrendered, which was yours. Besides, you were able to get it from the children in the Song Dynasty, and now you should lose it from the children. The way of heaven is good, so why bother to say more!" Liu Yue had no words to say anything, so he had to retreat. When Boyan entered Pingjiang, Chen Yizhong submitted a memorial to send Zongzheng Shaoqing Lu Xiufu and the Minister of War Lu Shimeng to the Mongolian army again with Liu Yue, willing to call him a nephew and receive coins, otherwise he would surrender to be a nephew and grandson.

Lu Xiufu's courtesy name is Junshi, and he was from Changjianli, Yancheng, Chuzhou. When Lu Xiufu was three years old, his father moved his family to Zhenjiang. After he grew up, he followed two Mr. Meng in his hometown to study. Mr. Meng often had more than a hundred students, but he pointed to Lu Xiufu and said, "This little guy is extraordinary." In the first year of Jingding, he passed the Jinshi. When Li Tingzhi was guarding Huainan, he heard about Lu Xiufu and sent him to his shogunate. At that time, people in the world said that he had the most talents, with Li Tingzhi in Huainan as the first place, and was known as the "small court."

Lu Xiufu's talent is beautiful, and there are few people among the literati at that time who could catch up with him. He is calm and does not want to be known to others. Whenever his staff come to the office to invite him to the office, the host and the guest and the host are happy together, and only Lu Xiufu silently does not speak. Sometimes he holds banquets in the mansion, and at the banquet, he always sits upright, reserved and solemn, and rarely interacts with others. When he examines his affairs, he manages them well, and Li Tingzhi is therefore more

He valued him, and even if he was transferred to an official position, he would not let Lu Xiufu leave him. Since he came to Li Tingzhi's shogunate, he has been promoted three times until he was in charge of Jiyi's writing.

In the tenth year of Xianchun, Li Tingzhi was appointed as the commander of Huaidong and promoted Lu Xiufu to the senator. In the first year of Deyou, the border defense was urgent, and most of the staff escaped, but only Lu Xiufu did not leave. Li Tingzhi recommended Lu Xiufu to the court, so he was appointed as the Minister of the Siong Temple and was promoted repeatedly until he was appointed as the Shaoqing of Zongzheng and the acting residence hall. In the first month of the second year of Deyou, he went to the front line to make peace as the Minister of Rites.

Chen Yizhong also instructed Lu Shimeng to tell Lu Wenhuan that he would beg him to stop the army. Lu Shimeng was the son of Lu Wenhuan and was hoped to reach a peace agreement on this, but Boyan still refused to agree. Lu Xiufu and others reported to the Empress Dowager again, and Chen Yizhong was willing to submit a letter to the title of a small country. The Empress Dowager just cried and had no opinion, so he let Chen Yizhong decide. Chen Yizhong then ordered Gao Yingsong, the direct scholar of the Academy, to write a letter. Gao Yingsong refused and changed his order to write a letter to Liu Baoran, the official of the Beijing Bureau. The court sent Liu Yue to take the letter to the Mongolian military camp. He walked to Jijiazhuang in Gaoyou and was killed by Jizang, a native of the local citizen.

The Mongolian army gradually advanced, and the Song court was very anxious and finally spent the rest of the year. On the New Year's Day of the second year of Deyou, both inside and outside the palace were unwilling to eat and restless, so they naturally had no intention of giving celebration gifts. One day, they suddenly received a police report from Hunan that Tanzhou had lost and that Li Fu, the ambassador of Hunan's tutoring affairs, died. It turned out that Tanzhou was surrounded by Ali Haiya for more than three months. Li Fu tried his best to defend it, but after dozens of battles, he could not defeat the enemy.

The attack was even more urgent, and the water was rushing to the city. The city was in great trouble and could not support it. The generals cried and told Li Fu: "It's urgent, and we should die for the country. But the people cannot bear the cruelty. What should we do?" Li Fu shouted angrily: "The country usually raises you well, and is just for the sake of urgency. You can only defend yourself. If you dare to say more, I will kill you first." The generals retreated speechlessly. On New Year's Day, before dawn, the soldiers and ants climbed the city.

Yin Gu, the magistrate of Hengzhou, lived in the city at that time, and probably could not do this, so he bid farewell to his family. Li Fu stayed with a guest to drink, and wrote the word "Jinzhong" as a military name. When Binzu left the yamen, the city had been captured, and the senator Yang Ting committed suicide by jumping into the water. Li Fu sat in Xiongxiang Pavilion, summoned Shen Zhong under the tent, and said to him: "I am exhausted and should be the dying day. My family should not be humiliated and insulted by the enemy. You can kill my family and then kill me." Shen Zhong cried and said that he could not do it.

Li Fu insisted on asking him to follow suit, and Shen Zhong reluctantly accepted it. He immediately summoned his family and drank with them. The crowd was drunk, and Shen Zhong let out a hand. Li Fu also got his neck and was stabbed, and the whole family was dead. Shen Zhong then set fire to the fire room, went home to kill his wife, and then came to the place where the fire was set off to be so heartbroken. Suddenly, he threw himself into the ground and committed suicide. The staff Chen Yisun and Yan Yingyan all committed suicide. Most of the residents of Tanzhou also died of their families. There were no empty wells in the city, and corpses were hung in the forest. After Ali Haiya entered the city, he issued a letter to the counties, Yuan, Lian, Heng, Yongbin, Quandao, Guiyang, Wugang and other prefectures and counties, looking for the wind to surrender. Only the magistrate of Baoqing, Zeng Ruji, died unyieldingly.

The court received an alarm, so he gave Li Fu the Grand Secretary of Duanming Palace and was given the posthumous title of Zhongjie. The capital became more and more cautious, and rumors spread everywhere in the capital. Chen Wenlong, the deputy minister of the political affairs officer, signed a letter to Huang Yong, the Privy Council, and fled one after another.
