Cooking sheep and slaughtering cows is fun, and you will have to drink three hundred cups.

Outside Anning Mansion, the coalition forces of all dynasties were busy.

They set up the stove, lit a blazing fire, and began cooking the mountains of mutton and beef.

These cattle and sheep were all sent by the Jin people, and there were hundreds of thousands of them.

Zhu Ming secretly sent some back, and used the rest to improve the food.

There is no daily training, no military duties, and you can still enjoy the delicious barbecue and shabu-shabu every day.

The soldiers of the Wanchao coalition wished they could stay here for a few more days.

At the same time, Wanyan Sheng in Anning Mansion had a worried look on his face.

Sitting in the hall, he frowned and muttered to himself, “Damn it! Why are the Song army outside the city so reluctant to leave? Aren’t the things I sent enough?”

Originally, Wanyan Sheng thought that if he gave the army besieging the city a large amount of gold, silver, treasures and hundreds of thousands of cattle and sheep, they would return satisfied.

As a result, there were parties outside the city every day.

Wanyan Sheng had seized the three towns from the Song Dynasty and returned them this time, thinking that the Song Emperor Lao Zhao would use the three towns as a base to quietly develop his power and accumulate strength, and wait for the right time to rebel with the help of his elite troops.

At that time, Wanyan Sheng could join forces with Zhao Huan to deal with Old Zhao and eliminate this major threat in one fell swoop.

Without the elite army of Zhao, Wanyan Sheng didn’t even take Zhao Huan seriously.

Even his father Zhao Ji, Wanyan Sheng did not take him seriously.

Unexpectedly, Old Zhao did not act according to the script he had expected. Instead, he took his soldiers out of the city all day drinking and eating.

“Humph! This guy doesn’t want to go back and develop his own power, but spends all day here eating and drinking. I thought he had great ambitions, but I never thought he was just a good-for-nothing waste!”

Wanyan Sheng slammed the table in anger.

In the court, all the ministers were full of suspicion when they saw this situation.

Wanyan Zonggan finally couldn’t hold back his inner anxiety. He stepped forward and bowed, then said in a hurry, “Your Majesty, in my humble opinion, why don’t we send some people out of the city to investigate! Let’s see why the Song army is so reluctant to leave?”

“Being trapped in the city like this day after day, I, an old official, feel really uneasy!”

“Your Majesty, if you think about it carefully, I’m afraid that some of the troops coming to rescue us will arrive here soon. By then, if a fierce battle suddenly breaks out between the two sides, I’m afraid that many unnecessary complications will arise!”

As soon as he finished speaking, all the ministers in the hall nodded in agreement and began to discuss among themselves.

If the army outside the city can withdraw from here as soon as possible, they can finally put their minds at ease.

After all, the coalition forces of all dynasties are like an extremely sharp sword hanging over one’s head. No one would be able to sleep peacefully in such a situation.

Wanyan Sheng narrowed his eyes slightly and fell into a brief contemplation.

After a long while, he slowly said: “My dear ministers, please be at ease for now. I have already sent urgent letters to all places, detailing the specific situation here one by one, and strictly ordering them not to easily clash with the defenders outside the city. Besides…”

Having said that, his gaze turned to Wanyan Zonggan.

“Wanyan Zonggan, after making some preparations, you will immediately go out of the city to inquire and make sure you find out when they plan to leave.”

Wanyan Zonggan’s face changed slightly. He was humiliated last time he went there.

He didn’t want to go to the camp of the Allied Forces of Ten Thousand Dynasties again.

However, under Wanyan Sheng’s threatening gaze, he had no choice but to take the task.

In the camp of the Wanchao Allied Forces, a bonfire was burning and the fragrance was everywhere.

Zhu Ming, Zhu Di, Lao Zhao and others were sitting together, eating skewers with relish and bragging.

A soldier ran in hurriedly: “Marshal, Wanyan Zonggan wants to see you outside!”

Upon hearing the news, Zhu Di raised his head slightly and looked at Lao Zhao.

The opponent was the Jin people, and Zhu Di planned to let Lao Zhao handle it.

Old Zhao’s face turned cold, and he snorted heavily, “How dare a mere Wanyan Zonggan come to ask for an audience? He simply doesn’t know how high the sky is and how deep the earth is! Come on, beat him up for me, and then throw him out. By the way, tell him to let Wanyan Sheng come here in person to apologize. What’s the point of not sending some shrimp soldiers and crab generals?”

Zhu Ming stroked his chin with his hand and muttered thoughtfully, “Why do I suddenly feel like a bandit army?”

Hearing this, Old Zhao waved his hand nonchalantly and explained with a smile: “Don’t worry, the two of you, the ones I have arranged here are all elite soldiers of the Song Dynasty Legion.

Many of these soldiers were transferred from our boss Zhao Dezhao.

On his side, it had not been long since the Jingkang Incident, and these soldiers hated the Jin people to the core.

They were ready to fight all day long, thinking about how to avenge this blood feud.

‘The shame of Jingkang has not yet been avenged. When will the hatred of the ministers be eliminated! Drive the long chariot and break through the gap in the Helan Mountains. With great ambition, I will eat the meat of the barbarians when I am hungry and drink the blood of the Xiongnu when I am thirsty.’

Hehe, this poem written by Yue Fei is really passionate and makes people’s blood boil! “

Zhu Ming nodded in agreement: “Of course not. In our place, we are required to memorize the entire poem, and it is often used as part of exams.”

Everyone smiled at each other and continued to enjoy the delicious skewers while waiting for the soldiers to send Wanyan Zonggan away.

Outside the camp.

Wanyan Zonggan was waiting for the soldier who brought the message with joy. When he saw that the soldier not only came back but was followed by several soldiers, the smile on his face instantly blossomed even brighter. He hurriedly stepped forward and said, “Thank you, young general. It’s troublesome for you to lead the way ahead.”

To Wanyan Zonggan’s surprise, the soldier did not respond to his enthusiasm as he wished. Instead, he glanced at him with indifference and asked stiffly: “Lead the way? Lead what way? Why don’t you take a piss and look at yourself? Who do you think you are to meet our General Zhao?
Brothers, he was a high-ranking official of the Jin people, and his contribution to the Jingkang Shame in our country was also a lot!
The general specifically ordered us to teach you a lesson, brothers, get started! “

Hearing this, the soldiers who had seemed calm suddenly opened their eyes wide, with a fierce light flashing in their eyes, a chilling sneer on the corners of their mouths, and stared at the Jin men in front of them.

Hearing this, Wanyan Zonggan’s face suddenly turned pale and cold sweat dripped down his forehead.

This was totally different from what he had imagined. He was at a loss for a moment and could only stammer, “What…what do you guys want to do?”

“What for? Hey, of course I’m going to mosaic you!”

“Mosaic?” Wanyan Zonggan was completely confused and had no idea what the word meant. But judging from the other party’s malicious expression, it was obviously not a good thing.

Before he could react, the soldiers rushed up like hungry tigers and grabbed him and the people he brought with him.

Although Wanyan Zonggan and others struggled desperately to resist, the gap in strength between the two sides was too great and they were no match for these soldiers.

Wanyan Zonggan and his group were forcibly dragged into a small forest in the distance.

Next, there was a continuous sound of punching and kicking.

The soldiers attacked without mercy, using all their strength in every punch and kick, beating Wanyan Zonggan and others until they cried and groaned in pain.

Wanyan Zonggan had never suffered such physical pain before, and he felt as if all the bones in his body were about to fall apart.

The followers he brought with him were not in a much better condition. They were all beaten black and blue, looking horrible.

The fight lasted for a long time until the soldiers finally got tired and stopped, panting.

Looking at Wanyan Zonggan and others at this time, they were no longer in human form. They were covered with scars, and their faces were bruised and swollen. They looked as miserable as they could be.

If it is to be photographed, it must be covered with thick mosaics, otherwise it will easily cause discomfort.

Wanyan Zonggan was a well-informed man after all. After being beaten up, he had some understanding of the so-called “mosaic”. “The general asked you to go back and tell Wanyan Sheng why he always sent so many inferior soldiers and generals. It was simply a naked contempt and insult to our army! He must come in person to apologize at 5:00 am tomorrow. Otherwise, our army will immediately launch a strong attack and break through the city in one fell swoop. I believe Wanyan Sheng also knows what will happen then.”

The soldiers acted with restraint, and at least Wanyan Zonggan and his group were able to walk.

In the hall, Wanyan Sheng looked carefully for a long time before he could barely recognize that the person kneeling on the ground was actually his trusted confidant whom he had always relied on.

In an instant, a nameless fire suddenly rose up in my heart.

Wanyan Sheng’s eyes widened with anger, and he asked angrily, “How dare you! Who did it? Tell me the truth. I will punish you severely and seek justice for you!”

Facing Wanyan Sheng’s questioning, this confidant was full of grievances and cried and replied: “Your Majesty, it was the army outside the city who did it! I haven’t even stepped into the enemy camp yet, but I was inexplicably beaten inhumanely! I beg Your Majesty to see through this and make a decision for me!”

After hearing this explanation, Wanyan Sheng’s raging anger was instantly extinguished as if a basin of cold water was poured over his head.

Suspiciously, he asked back, “Could it be that… you said something you shouldn’t have said, and thus angered the other party?”

Wanyan Zonggan felt disappointed. I didn’t even enter the door, how would I know?

“Your Majesty, they told me to tell you to personally go and apologize at dawn tomorrow, otherwise they will attack the city immediately. Also, if there is anything in the future, your Majesty must go in person, so that your status is equal.”

“boom!”

Wanyan Sheng picked up a piece of beautiful jade on the table and smashed it hard on the ground.

He shouted angrily: “How dare you threaten me! I also have a temper!”

“Let me go at Mao time tomorrow, but I want to go at Yin time!”

The next day at Yin time.

Wanyan Sheng arrived outside the camp of the Wanchao coalition forces.

“Please tell the warriors that Wanyan Sheng is here to see the general.”

The soldier went to inform and returned soon.

He said calmly: “The general is sleeping, you wait here first!”

“I wonder what time the general usually gets up?”

“How should I know? Just wait.”

Wanyan Sheng wanted to slap himself in the face for coming here an hour earlier.

The day has dawned.

The Mao hour is almost over.

Wanyan Sheng was a little anxious, so he took out a gold ingot and handed it over: “This brave man, can you please let me know?”

I had already instructed that the things sent by the Jin people should be accepted directly, and half should be kept and the other half handed over when the time comes.

The soldier smiled and put the gold ingot in his arms.

“You wait here, I’ll go ask.”

Ten minutes passed.

The soldier just walked back with a sullen look on his face.

“The general is in a meeting. Please wait.”

Wanyan Sheng’s expression remained unchanged, but he cursed in his heart, what kind of meeting is this? It will definitely embarrass him.

Wait until the afternoon.

They had only eaten a little in the morning and had stood outside the camp for several hours. Wanyan Sheng and his group were extremely hungry.

I was thinking about whether I should pretend to faint.

When you are about to give up.

A soldier came up.

“The general wants you to go over now.”

Upon hearing this, Wanyan Sheng quickly perked up and followed him into the camp.

In the tent.

Old Zhao sat in the commander’s seat.

Zhu Ming and Zhu Di watched the fun from the side.

Wanyan Sheng stood aside respectfully.

Old Zhao said calmly: “What did the general say?”

“The general asked me to come before him to meet him at 1 a.m.” Wanyan Sheng said respectfully.

“Since I told you to arrive at 5:00 a.m., why did you come at 5:00 a.m.? And you even asked someone to come and inform me, disturbing my sweet dream. Do you know your crime?”

Wanyan Sheng felt a little regretful. Not only did he have to wait an extra hour, but he also had to bring trouble upon himself. He turned his eyes and said with a flattering smile, “I missed you very much after we parted last time. I want to see you sooner.”

“You’re talking like that, even a three-year-old child wouldn’t believe it. I think you still haven’t learned your lesson and don’t recognize the current situation. So, write a surrender form right away so that you can remember your current position.”

Wanyan Sheng couldn’t help but feel relieved.

It was just a letter of surrender, and he had already offered gold, silver, treasures, and the three towns. Writing another letter of surrender would not be a big deal.

In fact, Wanyan Sheng had already considered this issue and made preparations in advance.

Soon, a surrender letter that looked extremely sincere was placed in front of Lao Zhao.

Old Zhao took a quick glance and slammed the table.

The loud noise frightened Wanyan Sheng so much that he almost fell to his knees.

He pointed at Wanyan Sheng and cursed: “You look vulgar, and I didn’t expect your surrender letter to be so vulgar. I am embarrassed to take it back and hand it in. You must rewrite it in parallel sentences and rhyme. When you have finished, come back to see me.”

Wanyan Sheng cursed in his heart but did not dare to show the slightest displeasure on his face.

Instead, he smiled and said, “It was my clumsy writing that tainted the general’s eyes. I will correct it immediately.”

Old Zhao asked someone to take Wanyan Sheng and others into a tent.

Send someone to guard it strictly.

You can publish it when you are satisfied with what you have written.

Zhu Ming couldn’t help but ask, “Old Zhao, are you sure the Jin people can write a surrender letter using four-six parallel sentences?”

Lao Zhao didn’t take it seriously: “He can definitely write it. Don’t forget, most of the dozen people who came with him are civil servants. It won’t be difficult to write a letter of surrender.”

As he spoke, Old Zhao read the surrender letter written by Zhao Huan in history: “Look, didn’t Zhao Huan also write it at that time? Not to mention, it’s easy to read.” (End of this chapter)
