Chapter 117 Rules

In July of the first year of Ning, the Mongolian army attacked Jin for the third time.

Genghis Khan first broke through Xuandezhou and Dexing Mansion, stormed the north entrance of Juyongguan for several days, then went west along the Sanggan River, via Weizhou, crossed mountains, detoured Guangling, Lingqiu, Feihu and other places, and went straight to Zijingguan.

Although the defenders of the Kingdom of Jin fought fiercely with Mongolia for many years, they still could not adapt to the bold and roundabout tactics of the Mongolian army, which did not consider retreating.As many important passes along the Yanshan Mountain changed hands in a blink of an eye, the Mongolian army poured into Hebei and the Central Plains like a turbulent wave.

At this time, the so-called Jinshan Province, which had hoarded hundreds of thousands of heavy troops, had also collapsed.As Genghis Khan led his elite troops towards the south entrance of Juyongguan with his brave general Jebe and his close servant Zabalhuo, many Yi and Bing troops who had originally guarded the north entrance of Juyongguan surrendered one after another.The defense system that took so much energy to build disappeared, and the main force of the Jin army quickly retreated and fled to Daxing Mansion in the central capital.

Wherever the Mongolian army is heading, it is like entering a land of no one.In the field battle of the Jin army, the whole army was destroyed, and the city rules were slaughtered. In just over ten days, hundreds of military states on the East and West Roads and Zhongdu Road in Hebei were all on the verge of collapse.

This is the third blow to the imperial court after two failures last year and the year before.This time, it was a blow to the viscera!

In the past ten days or so, the imperial court has been unable to respond appropriately to such a dangerous situation.On the contrary, many political forces took this opportunity to launch fierce attacks on political opponents.The political conflicts in the court of Zhongdu are getting worse day by day, just like the military danger outside the city of Zhongdu is getting worse day by day.

With the support of his servants, Tu Shanyi got off his shoulders and walked slowly to his carriage.

Dozens of steps away from the car, many civil and military officials with low status looked at each other. Some wanted to ask about the situation, but they didn't dare to disturb Tu Shanyi.

This Shangshu Youcheng is a veteran of the three dynasties. He is extremely respected and known for his resourcefulness.In the previous two wars with the Mongolian army, he had put forward extremely targeted suggestions, so many people hoped that this time, Tu Danyi could make some plans to save the situation.

but……

Tu Dan Youcheng's complexion is really ugly.

Tu Danyi noticed the expectant eyes of his colleagues, patted the servant on the shoulder, and stopped for a while.

Many officials hurried forward a few steps, but Tu Shanyi didn't look at them, instead turned his head to look at the palace.

Compared with the usual weather, the weather these days is indescribably strange.It was supposed to be a time when autumn is clear and the sky is clear, but these days, almost every day is cloudy.Thick clouds pressed down layer upon layer, turning into a pale black haze, which almost covered the cornices at the top of the Danfeng Gate.

And within the deep gate of Danfeng Gate, along the Qianbu Corridor to Yingtian Gate, and then to the numerous palaces, it seems that they are slowly swallowed by some kind of dark and gloomy things. Those originally resplendent buildings have no light at all. Chan, just lifeless gray.

Tu Shanyi sighed.

He let go of his hand, and a memorial written in small characters fell to the ground.The servants were busy bringing the carriage closer, and another servant jumped off the shaft. No one paid attention to the small writing paper, and stepped on it several times in an instant.

He is old, he is recovering slowly, his foot injury has not healed, and it is obviously difficult to get into the car.The people in the carriage stretched out their arms quickly, about to help.

Tu Danyi patted the man's hand away angrily, but the man continued to lean forward with a smile, and finally helped the reluctant Tu Danyi up, and arranged cushions diligently for the old man to sit down.

The car starts in Linlin, crosses the Longjin Bridge, turns east, and then goes north to Kaiyang Xifang. The road along the way is often congested.

Those were the subordinates of the Police Patrol Academy and the Military Guards, who were busy driving away the defeated soldiers who had advanced to the city, trying to get them stationed in the barracks near the Jinkou River and the Chexiang Canal in the north.Officials from Shangshu Province also shouted along the way, saying that rewards of wine and meat were arranged in the barracks.

However, the defeated soldiers didn't listen. They subconsciously felt that the safest place was under the emperor's feet and within the thick city walls.

What's ridiculous is that at the same time, many high-ranking officials and nobles in the city sent chariots and horses to take their family members and relatives out of the city to seek refuge.People inside and outside were crowded together, so that the wide street was blocked.There were shouts, shouts, and noises one after another.

It was a long journey of just over two miles.

No one in the car spoke.

Tu Shanyi originally thought that the young man opposite would ask about the result of his match with the emperor just now, but the young man never asked.The old man knew very well that this was because the young people had no hope for the emperor at all, not only this young man, but also people with a little vision in Zhongdu City had no hope for the emperor.

So Tu Shanyi sighed.

"Jin Qing, I want you to stare at that vicious tiger, but you stare at me for such a big thing."

Sitting opposite Tu Danyi, Yila Chucai showed apology and bowed deeply: "My lord, it is a big deal for the Mongolian army to invade the invaders. The big thing is imminent, and there is no room for delay. Please don't blame Chu Cai for taking the initiative." decision."

"Jinqing, you have vision and means. However, you didn't have the courage to make decisions without authorization, let alone the strength to support you to act without authorization... Perhaps, that vicious tiger is extremely ferocious, which gave you courage? perhaps……"

Deep worry flashed across Tu Danyi's brows and eyes: "Jin Qing has been away for several months, what did you see? Do you think that the current situation has collapsed to this point, so people can break the rules?"

Yicha Chucai maintained a bowed posture: "My lord, the princes in the court have considerations in the court; the warriors fighting with weapons have considerations of the warriors. Sometimes things happen in a hurry, and it is really not easy to be peaceful. Calculating slowly, the so-called rules have to be shelved for a while. Besides...Chu Cai really feels that it is time to cut the mess quickly."

Tu Shanyi pondered for a moment.

He suddenly asked again: "Since you are accompanying King Sheng for a while, what do you think of King Sheng?"

Yi Shi Chu Cai was about to answer, but Tu Shan Yi chased after him: "Jin Qing, I want to listen to the truth!"

In the past ten days, Guo Ning and others marched eastward in the depths of the pond, gathering people along the way and rectifying their forces.

Sheng Wang, who was trapped in the army, was a golden branch and a jade leaf after all, and he was used to being condescending.His tenderness to those powerful figures in Hebei did not see any effect for a while, and he was even more unable to intervene in related military affairs, so he could only sit and watch Guo Ning and others' power continue to expand like a snowball.

Even so, being promoted to the king also has advantages, which made Yisha Chucai have to admire.

Yicha Chucai sat up straight, and solemnly said: "Your talent is worthy of a man, and there is nothing to praise about it. However, he is quite forbearing, and knows how to retreat modestly... Maybe he can bear a heavy load."

Tu Danyi laughed: "Even if the clan of the Great Jin Kingdom has been repeatedly urged, there are at least hundreds of people to choose from. Only those who are promoted to the king can be selected, and they can also enter Jinqing's eyes?"

"My lord, that's enough. After the new king takes the throne, he only needs to hang his bow. The center of the court will be commanded by the old man. In the fight with the Mongols, there will also be warriors who can fight. ...what else is there to worry about?"

"How do you know that some people won't break the rules?"

"My lord, Guo Ning is not the only one who participated in welcoming Fengsheng King this time."

"You mean?"

"Although Guo Ning is a vicious tiger, he is self-aware and doesn't dare to monopolize him. Therefore, he successively recruited Miao Daorun from Dingzhou, Zhang Rou from Yizhou, and Jing'anmin from Zhuozhou. These three people are powerful enough to compete with Guo Ning is divided into courts. What's more, there are also heroes inside and outside the central capital, and the boss will come forward and raise his arms, and those who respond will definitely follow."

Speaking of this, Chu Cai leaned forward and said, "The court is determined, and the rules will naturally come into being. When the new king ascends the throne, he will summon all the generals from all over the country to join the king of Zhongduqin. Who dares to make a difference?" Think? Who has that power?"

Tu Danyi leaned back, let his aging body sink into the cushion, and laughed softly: "Jin Qing..."

"My lord?"

"You have grown."

"Your Majesty is absurd..." Yila Chucai shook his head, seeing that Tu Shanyi's expression was not angry, so he plucked up his courage and said in a low voice: "In this way, there is only one difficulty..."

"There is no difficulty." Tu Danyi cut off his words.

"what?"

"Things that break the rules are not a last resort, so don't do them. However, you can rest assured that there is no difficulty in front of us."

Du Shanyi was out of energy.He leaned against the cushion, and immediately fell asleep, and his voice became softer and softer.

Yila Chucai didn't understand what Tu Danyi meant at all, wanted to wake up the old man, and asked to understand, but he heard Tu Danyi muttered: "If you are promoted to king, you can be promoted to king, now... well, don't be picky. You go out of town now and make him move faster."

Yiza Chucai shuddered in his heart: "Yes."
