Chapter 214 Good News

Decisions like the Wang clan's have also happened one after another in clans in Suining, Suzhou, Sizhou and other places.

After discussion, these clans sent a group of clansmen to the military camp in Shandong.

Wang Jingde listened to his father's words, registered the people in their branch, and then went to the county government to report.

In ancient times, imperial power did not go to the countryside. Clan was the most basic social organizational structure. They were mobilized very efficiently and could save the government a lot of things.

When the county received the roster sent by Wang Jingde, the chief bookkeeper asked: "One hundred and twenty households, with a population of 643, who is your leading clan leader?"

Wang Jingde said: "The leader of our clan is Wang Changyu from Wangjiazhuang, but the clan members who moved to Shandong are led by my father Wang Changnian!"

The chief clerk immediately took out a few waist cards and said, "Since your father, Wang Changnian, is leading the team, your father will temporarily serve as a hundred households. Your father will appoint the general flag and small flags below, and then report it!"

Wang Jingde was a little surprised, "Hundred households! Is my father an official?"

The head clerk smiled and said: "Yes, you have more than 100 households, which can be organized into a 100-household office! Your father will be the official of 100-households from now on, and the more than 100 households that have been moved here will be managed by your father."

Wang Jingde's face was full of joy, and the chief clerk approved another note, "Take this and go to the warehouse to get weapons and supplies. Then set off as soon as possible to Pizhou. The government over there will allocate land for you!"

In the Battle of Xuzhou, Kuoduan was defeated, and the Jin army captured a large number of weapons, armor, and horses.

When Zhao Tai and Wu Xian jointly divided the spoils of war, they asked for a large amount of ordnance, which they now distributed to various clans for them to set up guard stations.

Wang Jingde took the note and led his tribe to the warehouse, where he received several carts of weapons and returned to the village.



Kaifeng, Imperial Palace.

Wanyan Shouxu was alone, sitting in the imperial study, dealing with memorials sent from various places.

At this time, he opened a book and read it, but he had no intention of dealing with official duties. He stood up and clasped his hands, standing lost in front of the map hanging in the study.

Judging from the news sent from the front line, after the Mongolian army broke through Hulao Pass, Wokuotai troops came to Luoyang City, sent cavalry to bypass Luoyang, captured Shaanzhou, and then attacked Tongguan.

Now Wokuotai and Kublai Khan have joined forces in Luoyang, and more than 100,000 Mongolian troops are besieging Luoyang. The situation on the western front is worrying, making Wanyan Shouxu unable to sleep or eat well.

Facing the crisis in Luoyang, Wanyan Shouxu was now helpless. He could only hope that the Jin army would win on the eastern front and then turn around to reinforce the western front.

At this time, according to Heda's words, the Jin army on the eastern front in the past few days should have started a decisive battle with the Mongolian army on the eastern route led by Kuo Duan.

Wanyan Shouxu had read the battle plan and knew that Zhao Tai, Heda and others had made careful plans before the war, but there were often differences between the plan and the actual battlefield, and he didn't know how the fight was going now.

Wanyan Shouxu had a worried look on his face. He had suffered from paralysis in the past two years. He had lost his confidence deep down and was worried about the war on the Eastern Front.

"Your Majesty!" A cry pulled Wanyan Shouxu out of his complicated thoughts.

He came to his senses, turned around and saw that it was the Privy Councilor Yi Lapu'a.

Wanyan Shouxu asked quickly, "Pu'a, is there any news from the Eastern Front?"

Yilapua shook his head with a heavy expression, "Your Majesty, this is Luoyang!"

Wanyan Shouxu's heart trembled, he took two steps back, a look of panic appeared on his face, and said in a trembling voice: "Where did Luoyang fall?"

"Not yet, but Monk Chen probably won't be able to hold on for much longer!" Yi La Pu'a took out a memorial, "This is Monk Chen's memorial!"

Wanyan Shouxu quickly took it and opened it to look at it, and saw what was written inside, "The Mongolian army besieged the city and attacked from three sides. All 20,000 of my men and women have been sacrificed. However, the enemy's offensive has not weakened, and my future is uncertain. If Luoyang City is here, I will I will meet Your Majesty when I am alive. If Luoyang is lost, I will die on the battlefield. If the Mongols retreat and the Jin Dynasty is revived in the future, Your Majesty will regain Luoyang. Please don't forget that I and my 20,000 son-in-law, collect their bodies for me and their son, and erect a monument to tell them. "Sacrifice."

Monk Chen did not ask for help in his memorial, but Wanyan Shouxu fell silent after reading it.

Judging from the content of this memorial, Monk Chen has already made plans to fight to the death of Luoyang, and the Luoyang defenders may not be able to hold on for long.

Wanyan Shouxu's face was full of pain, and he beat his chest and said, "I know that Luoyang is in danger, but I have no choice but to rescue Luoyang. I can only watch helplessly as Luoyang falls into the hands of the Mongols. My heart is very painful, and God is evil on me!"

Yilapua felt the same way, and he advised: "When the Eastern Front defeats Kuaduan, we may mobilize elite troops from the Eastern Front, and we may have a chance to rescue Luoyang!"

Wanyan Shouxu seemed to have grasped the last life-saving straw, "Yes! Eastern Front! Eastern Front! As long as Zhao Tai, Heda, Wuxian, and Wanyan Chenglin can defeat Kuoduan and solve the threat on the Eastern Front, I will mobilize elite troops on the Eastern Front, maybe We can also rescue Luoyang."

Having said this, Wanyan Shouxu's mind was filled with Zhao Tai's handsome face, "Zhao Tai is very resourceful. Last time he was able to poison Tuo Lei and use a divorce plan to force Wokuotai to withdraw his troops and save our Dajin Sheji. This time he was able to poison Tuo Lei. There must be a way to help me get through this difficult time!"

Facing the collapse of the situation, Wanyan Shouxu couldn't care less about Zhao Tai's identity as a spy in the Southern Song Dynasty, so he placed his hope on Zhao Tai, who had once created miracles.

At this time, the two of them were talking, and there was a rush of footsteps outside the palace. A eunuch ran into the palace in a hurry. When he came to the door, he tripped and got up. He got up and adjusted his hat while shouting excitedly: "Your Majesty! Great victory! Great victory! Your Majesty!"

Wanyan Shouxu and Yila Pua couldn't help but look sideways. Pua asked loudly, "Where is the great victory?"

The eunuch said excitedly: "Your Majesty, Prime Minister! Zhao Xuanfu, the marshal of the capital, and Duke Wu defeated the Mongolian army on the east route in Xuzhou. Zhao Xianggong even killed the Mongolian prince Kuoduan!"

"What?" Wanyan Shouxu was trembling all over, Zhao Tai's formation killed the commander of the Mongolian East Road, Kuo Duan!

In recent times, Wanyan Shouxu has received a lot of bad news one after another, and each piece of unfavorable news has made him feel numb.

Over the past few days, Wanyan Shouxu had fantasized about being able to defeat the Mongolian army on the eastern front and kill the commander of the Mongolian army, but he did not dare to even think about it.

So when he heard the news, he was completely stunned.

"Wow~" Yilapua yelled excitedly, almost jumping with joy. He grabbed the eunuch and said, "This is true!"

The eunuch said excitedly: "Prime Minister, this is absolutely true! Marshal Du brought Kuo Duan's head into the city, and he is just outside the palace!"

Wanyan Shouxu's face turned red. He didn't expect that Zhao Tai and the others not only defeated the Mongolian army on the east route, but also killed Kuo Duan, the commander of the Mongolian army.

All the Mongol commanders were beheaded, and the Mongol army on the eastern route must have suffered a disastrous defeat.

Yilapua looked at Wanyan Shouxu, extremely excited, "Your Majesty, what a great victory! This is truly an unprecedented victory!"
