Chapter 122 Section 2 Dream Talk and

The army of the Kingdom of Jin rushing to aid Bianjing had been wiped out on the road by the Mongol army, and the main generals of the Kingdom of Jin had also died in battle. The rescuers were gone. The last hope of Jin Aizong was completely shattered, and the entire Bianjing city became a lonely city, which was in danger.And the Mongolian army galloped all the way, heading straight for Bianjing, and a fierce battle was about to take place... When the Mongols reached Kaifeng, Su Butai, the commander-in-chief of the siege, ordered the captured men, women and children of the Kingdom of Jin to carry soil and fill the moat.The defenders of the Kingdom of Jin on the city couldn't bear to shoot arrows when they saw the elders below the city filling the river with soil.And the common people dare not not fill the river, and the Mongols' swords behind them are waving on their heads.Anyone who could not move their backs and died on the road, the Mongolian army threw the corpses directly into the moat.In an instant, the moat was filled, and the Mongolian army began to attack the city.

At such a critical juncture, Wanyan Baisa, the Pingzhang political official of the Jin Kingdom, forbade the Jin army from fighting the Mongolian soldiers.Because Wo Kuotai saw that the weather in the Central Plains was getting hotter, he wanted to go back to the Mongolian Plateau to escape the summer heat. The Mongols fought wars in autumn when the horses were tall and fat, and they couldn’t stay in the Central Plains in midsummer.Wo Kuotai left General Subotai to besiege Bianjing, and he wanted to withdraw.In order to fool the people of the Kingdom of Jin, they also wanted to ask for something more, so the Mongols pretended to make peace with the people of the Kingdom of Jin.The people of the Kingdom of Jin were overjoyed, regardless of whether it was true or false, as long as they could catch their breath, they immediately agreed to negotiate peace with Mongolia.

Emperor Aizong appointed his nephew, the son of his second brother Shouchun who was imprisoned, as King Cao, and planned to send him to the Mongolian army as a hostage.Wanyan Baisa used this as an excuse, saying that the imperial court was negotiating peace with Mongolia and that no troops were allowed.The common people quit, and the soldiers who defended the city stopped. The moat was filled up, and the Mongol soldiers were about to come. You won't let us fight?So the people and the soldiers shouted in unison, we want to see the emperor, the emperor comes out!Someone beat the Dengwen drum.The emperor heard it in the palace, why is there such a commotion outside?If the soldiers and civilians want to see me, I have to meet with the people and soldiers and explain the situation.So the emperor came out, and the people surrounded him.At this critical juncture, they couldn't care about the etiquette of the emperor and his ministers. Some people even grabbed the emperor's clothes.If this was in the past, he would have to be beheaded immediately, which is a big treason.Everyone asked the emperor, the Mongolian soldiers have filled the moat, and there is a possibility of breaking the city at any time. Now Pingzhang Baisa will not let us go out of the city to meet the enemy, and will not let us shoot arrows.Your Majesty, is it true that the court really wants to negotiate peace with the Mongolian soldiers?The emperor replied sadly: "Because of my soul, I call myself a minister and serve as a minister, and I am obedient. There is only one son, who will grow up and be a hostage. You wait for a little patience, wait for King Cao to come out, Mongolia will not retreat, and you will fight to the death It’s not too late.” (Volume 166 of "Continued Zizhi Tongjian") For the sake of the lives of the people, I have surrendered myself to seek peace, and I am willing to proclaim myself as a minister. Now I have sent King Cao as a hostage to negotiate peace in the Mongolian camp.You have to be patient, wait until King Cao arrives in the Mongolian army, if the Mongolian soldiers do not retreat, you will have time to go out to fight the Mongols again.
