Chapter 362 The sword shines brightly, the light chills the heart and soul
Since being captured, Wang Lin has never seen Wanyan Zongbi who was sent to Huazhou Prison.
This is the Jinwu technique that frequently appears in various legends of later generations.
What about "Yue Fei fights against Jin Wushu"... and "Jin Wushu searches the mountains and seas", and so on.
In short, he actually seems to be a very awesome person.
He became a prisoner of Wang Lin in Huazhou.
This time Zongze came to Huazhou. In addition to mobilizing the army, he also had a special task. Zhao Ji repeatedly told him to take Jin Wushu back to Tokyo.
Zhao Ji was afraid that Wang Lin would be angry, so he killed Wanyan Zongbi and formed a deadly feud with the Jin people.
This idea cannot but be said to be a very absurd logic.
The Jin people invaded your land on a large scale, massacred your people, and almost marched straight into the capital. After all this, Zhao Ji, as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, was still worried about turning against the Jin people in the next step?
Isn’t the hatred level increased enough?
Do you have to kidnap hundreds of clan members, including the emperor, to a bitter cold place in Shangjing, where they can be slaughtered and ridden by others, to be considered a mortal enemy?
Wang Lin knew very well that even at that time, Zhao Ji might not have hated the Jin people that much. Didn't he later give birth to his children in the Jin Kingdom?
Let's not talk nonsense.
In other words, in Zhao Ji's heart, there is still room for negotiation with the Jin people. In other words, he does not want to fight, but wants to make peace.
You want to coexist peacefully, but the problem is that you have not established the five principles of peaceful coexistence.
Can we expect peace by bowing our heads, paying compensation, and giving away our daughter? What a big joke!
Wang Lin knew Zhao Ji's character, so he never agreed to send Wanyan Zongbi to the capital for disposal.
He was worried that Zhao Ji would go behind his back and release Wanyan Zongbi back to the Kingdom of Jin.
…
Huazhou Prison.
Zongze looked coldly at Wanyan Zongbi, who was sitting in the cell with his eyes closed and meditative, his long hair disheveled and his face dirty, and asked: "Are you the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom?"
Wanyan Zongbi opened his cloudy eyes, glanced at Zongze, and sneered: "This prince is Wanyan Zongbi, who are you?"
"I am the Grand Scholar of Longtuge of the Great Song Dynasty, the governor of Kaifeng, and Zongze who is staying in Tokyo!"
Wanyan Zongbi sneered: "It turns out he is a civil servant of the Song Dynasty, Zongze? You are an unknown rat!"
Zongze said slowly: "It doesn't matter whether I am an unknown person or not. The key is that you are now a prisoner of our Song Dynasty. Your life and death are in the hands of our Song Dynasty. How dare you be so arrogant?"
Wanyan Zongbi curled his lips in approval: "If it weren't for Wang Lin, the Song Dynasty would have been destroyed by the Jin Dynasty just like the Liao Dynasty. What about the prisoners? You, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty, dare to kill this prince?"
"If this prince dies in the Song Dynasty, I, Da Jin, will raise an overwhelming army and trample your Song Kingdom into dust!"
"What a loud tone! In the first two battles, our Song Dynasty soldiers and horses beheaded more than 40,000 people. If you don't withdraw from our country, the Rujin people will die without a burial place when the heavenly soldiers come!" Zongze angrily said: "Wanyan Zongbi
, do you know?!"
"Haha..." Wanyan Zongbi smiled contemptuously: "You don't know what kind of cowards your Song soldiers are? You Song people often say that victory or defeat is a common thing for military strategists. I was careless and lost at the hands of Wang Lin, so I have to admit defeat.
!”
"But if you Song people think that my great gold cannot destroy your Song country, you are really blind... Let's go and see what happened to the Khitan people!"
Zongze was speechless for a moment.
Of course, he did not become arrogant just because Wang Lin won two games. There was a huge disparity in strength between the Song and Jin Dynasties, and the fight against the Jin Dynasty would be a protracted tug-of-war. Zongze knew better than anyone else.
Wanyan Zongbi sneered and closed his eyes again.
Zongze's expression remained unchanged as he gently walked out of the Huazhou Prison where the air was turbid.
Wang Lin was waiting at the prison gate.
Zongze bowed and said: "Your Majesty, I have been ordered by the officials to escort the fourth prince of the Jin Kingdom to the capital. Please forgive me."
Wang Lin shook his head calmly and said: "No. The officials are afraid of the Jin people, so they will definitely put Wanyan Zongbi back. This is absolutely impossible."
Zongze sighed and said: "My lord, after all, it is an official order. I'm afraid it would be inappropriate to openly resist it."
Wang Lin said calmly: "The Prime Minister replied to the officials and the court and said that Yan Zongbi was dying and was not suitable for action. If he was forcibly brought back to the capital, he would die on the way."
Zongze took a deep look at Wang Lin, nodded slowly and said: "I understand. Your Majesty, I will return to the capital immediately. The rest of the war will all depend on your hard work and effort. I will wait in the capital for you to report the victory again!"
"
"Prime Minister, you can tell the officials that as long as I, Wang Lin, are here, I will never let the Jin men and horses set foot in the imperial capital of the Song Dynasty!
However, the provisions and supplies of my frontline soldiers must not be interrupted, deducted, or corrupted. I also ask the Prime Minister and all ministers to agree to it, so as to eliminate my worries."
"Don't worry, Your Majesty. The soldiers at the front will fight to the death, and the court's logistics will not be delayed."
Zongze got on his horse and hurried back to Tokyo with his members of the envoy.
It was not that he was afraid, but he knew that Wang Lin wanted to cross the river and fight the Jin people. He must rush back to the capital as soon as possible to arrange the capital's defense to avoid being taken advantage of by the Jin people.
Wang Lin stared at the retreating figures of Zongze and his entourage with deep eyes, then turned to Yan Qing and said, "Has Wanyan Zongwang's envoy arrived?"
Yan Qing nodded: "Back to the prince, he is Wanyan Zongwang's deputy general, and he is from the Jin Kingdom clan."
Pull away from the speed... a brave general of the Jin Kingdom and a founding hero.
Wang Lin had a thought in his mind and waved his hand: "Let's go with me to meet this general of the Jin Kingdom and see what Wanyan Zongwang wants."
…
Huazhou Yamen.
Balisu, who is in his early forties, has a majestic figure, a tall and strong physique, a beard on his face, and an extraordinary momentum.
He led more than a hundred Jin troops to escort him across the Yellow River at noon, asking to see Wang Lin.
Ba Lisu walked into the state office with his head held high and stared at Wang Lin, who was sitting behind the public case wearing a python robe and a purple gold crown. He took a deep breath and slowly cupped his hands and said: "I am Ba Lisu, the envoy of the Kingdom of Jin. I have seen you."
Prince Consort!"
Ba Lisu was actually in Beijing that day and also appeared at Aguda's welcome banquet.
At this moment, he is called "Emperor Consort" instead of King Qi of the Song Dynasty. It just represents the subtle mentality of many people in the Jin Kingdom. They would rather admit defeat at the hands of Wanyan Shili's consort than admit defeat to the Song people.
It's just self-deception.
Wang Lin smiled calmly: "The two countries are at war. If you don't kill the envoys, just pull away and say what you have to say. I am busy with military affairs and can only give you time for a cup of tea."
"My Prince Consort, I, Emperor Taizu of the Great Jin Dynasty, have issued a decree. As long as our Prince Consort is willing to submit to me, the Great Jin Dynasty, I will make you the King of Song and separate the land of the Song Kingdom for you to become the king.
The second prince is destined to come here today, and once again reiterate that I, Daijin, are willing to be a father-son nation with you forever!"
Wang Lin couldn't help but laugh.
"How about you go back and tell Wanyan Zongwang that if he is willing to surrender to our Song Dynasty, I am willing to act as the emperor of the Song Dynasty, canonize him as King of Jin, and pay tribute to our Song Dynasty?"
Ba Lisu seemed to have known that Wang Lin would not be moved by this, so he did not get angry. Instead, he smiled calmly and said: "Prince-in-law, my great golden soldiers and horses are strong, and the Khitan army of one million people cannot resist. The country will be wiped out overnight. Don't you think?"
, with tens of thousands of soldiers and horses like yours, can you stop my golden cavalry?"
"You people in the Song Dynasty often say that those who know the current affairs are heroes. I, the Emperor Taizu, value his consort and match him with a princess. This kind of favor is higher than the sky and deeper than the sea. It is best for the consort to be ignorant of good and evil."
Wang Lin stood up slowly: "Are you done?"
Ba Lisu's expression changed, and he cupped his hands and said: "The wealth of the whole country lies within the confines of a single thought of the Prince Consort. Please think twice before taking action!"
Wang Lin suddenly pulled out the sword from his waist, and with a flash of clear sword light, he struck the wooden case in front of him.
The wooden case trembled slightly, and then there was a clear sound of tearing, and it was instantly broken into two parts, and the fracture was extremely smooth.
"Bali Su, the Rujin people invaded our land and killed my compatriots. The Song and Jin Dynasties have become mortal enemies! We, the officials and people of the Song Dynasty, regardless of age or gender, will fight to the death against the Jin until they die!"
"Go back and warn Wanyan Zongwang to immediately lead his troops to withdraw from our Song Dynasty. I will let the past go. If you are still stubborn, let him wash his head and wait, and I will come to take it with my sword!"
Ba Lisu looked shocked.
The koan in front of Wang Lin was at least as thick as a palm, but it was split open by Wang Lin with a sword. What kind of magical power was this!
The sword shines brightly, but the light chills the heart and bones.
Ba Li Su Ning said in a voice: "Come on, Wang Lin, then our two countries will have to fight to the death!"
Wang Lin said coldly: "Get out!"
…
He quickly left the state office and led his entourage on horseback to leave Huazhou.
He came here on Wanyan Zongwang's order, saying that surrendering Wang Lin was just a cover, and his real intention was to spy on the Song army's movements and to go to Tokyo to lobby Zhao Ji.
The generals under his command repeatedly wanted to cross the river and fight to the death with Wang Lin, but Wanyan Zongwang was unable to resist. Probably only close friends like Ba Lisu could understand Wanyan Zongwang's true thoughts.
Definitely not fighting without fear. But Wanyan Zongwang wanted to preserve his strength after all, and he was anxiously waiting for the outcome of the Taiyuan battle.
Not far from Huazhou, Ba Lisu led the people, suddenly turned back east, bypassed Huazhou, and galloped towards Tokyo.
After listening to Yan Qing's report, a sneer appeared at the corner of Wang Lin's mouth.
He knew that Ba Lisu's visit to him was a lie, and that the real purpose was to lobby the court.
"Don't worry about him. Wanyan Zongwang must be negotiating peace with the officials. I'm afraid this will play into the officials' wishes. The civil servants in the court can rejoice and celebrate the invincible power of the Song Dynasty..."
Wang Lin turned to look in the direction of Tokyo and said sarcastically: "I wonder how much compensation the Jin people will ask for? How many women?"
Even after this, the high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the court still did not recognize the true nature of the Jin people.
It is indeed a dynasty of great cowards.
There are shameless generals who fear death, cowardly and selfish civil servants, and even more incompetent and stupid emperors. This has been the case since the founding of the country.
During the reign of Emperor Zhenzong, the Liao people invaded and war broke out on the border. Wang Qinruo, the political advisor, and others persuaded the emperor to move the capital to Jiangling.
But even such a shameless and treacherous person actually won the trust of several generations of Song emperors. After his death, he was posthumously named Grand Master, Zhongshu Ling, and given the posthumous title Wenmu.
He was the one with the best pension after death among the prime ministers of the Song Dynasty.
What a big joke.
In comparison, what is the fate of Zhang Shuye who died for his country now?
And even now, with Wang Lin's victory in two battles, the spirits of the soldiers and civilians in the world are high. Just as they are joining forces to fight against the Jin, some civil servants actually declare in the emperor's ears that "the Jin soldiers are like tigers, horses are like dragons, they climb mountains like apes, and they descend like otters. Their power is like that of an otter."
Like Mount Tai, China is like a tired egg.”
The Song Dynasty had been raising scholars for hundreds of years, and it had raised a group of scum who were worse than wine bags and rice bags.
Wang Lin wanted these clowns to continue dancing and see what tricks they could come up with.
Wang Lin said again: "Pass this king's secret order to all the generals, and prepare the entire army for war. We will cross the river at midnight tonight and raid Xiangzhou!"
Yan Qing was startled: "Your Majesty, there are no troops left on the front line in Huazhou? If the Jin people take advantage of the situation and move in, Tokyo will be in danger!"
Wang Lin sneered: "It's a good idea to break it, and it will save me the trouble of having to work hard!"
