After the death of Jin Emperor Wanyan Sheng, he was imprisoned in the Empress Dowager's palace.
Bagupin led his men straight into the Empress Dowager's palace. Tangku Ruixi seemed to have expected this. She looked at Bagupin coldly and said, "Zonghan asked you to come."
Bagupin had originally wanted to humiliate the Empress Dowager, but he was so nervous that he couldn't speak. After a while, he said, "This is the wine His Majesty prepared for you."
As the guard brought over a wine jug, Tang Kuo Ruixi gave a bitter smile: "Since I followed the late emperor, I have never participated in the affairs of the court. Zong Han didn't even spare a woman. He is defying heaven. Do you want to go to hell with Zong Han?"
Bagupin shuddered, suddenly filled with fear. "Your Majesty, Queen Mother, I have no choice but to do this. I beg your understanding."
"I won't drink this wine. Wanyan Zonghan's gift makes me sick!" Tangku Ruixi pulled out a piece of white silk from her sleeve and said, "All of you go out, and take the wine out too."
Wanyan Zonghan's orders were like poison; no one dared to resist them. But somehow, Bagupin dared not disobey. He said to his men, "Everyone, retreat!"
The door of the Empress Dowager's palace was closed, and the Empress Dowager Tangku Ruixi of the Great Jin Dynasty hanged herself in the harem with a white silk thread.
Prime Minister Zahan was rewarded with various prestigious titles, including Grand Tutor and Grand Master, for his support of Wanyan Zonghan. Wanyan Zonghan promised to divide the world with him after defeating the Song people, and gave him the land south of Dading Prefecture.
While Zahan was still dreaming of his beautiful Spring and Autumn Period, the Xi army broke into his home.
A group of two to three hundred people surrounded Zahan's house. Zahan was shocked and asked, "What are you doing?"
The leading officer sneered, "Your Majesty has ordered that Prime Minister Zahan commit crimes. According to the law, his entire family must be executed!"
Zahan was so frightened that his soul flew away. Then he murmured palely: "When the cunning rabbit dies, the running dog is cooked. When the birds are gone, the good bow is hidden. Haha..."
The officer drew his sword and stabbed the mad prime minister to death, then drew his sword again and said, "Kill him!"
Pujia Shijiu's Bohai Army was very close to Changchun City, only three days' journey away. The Bohai Army marched day and night towards Changchun City, and after reuniting, the 40,000-strong army counterattacked Liang Zifan's troops.
Wanyan Zonghan personally put on his armor and led his Xi troops to reinforce Longzhou. Together with the Longzhou garrison, there would be 80,000 Jin troops in Longzhou.
All Jurchens were soldiers, and there were a total of 120,000 Jin soldiers in Changchun and Longzhou.
Even if you add up the number of Zhao Huan's guards, there are only more than 30,000 people.
There were only 5,000 people left in Liang Zifan's army, and Guo Tianming's army of more than 20,000 people suffered heavy losses.
Yue Fei was utterly panicked, a feeling he had never experienced since joining the army. Yue Fei's unwavering success stemmed from his ability to discern the enemy's position. When he felt he had complete confidence, he would launch an all-out attack on the enemy.
But this was a forced march. In order to capture Shangjing before the Mongols, Zhao Huan ordered 30,000 vanguard troops to march lightly to Longzhou, hoping to capture Longzhou and Changchun in a flash with the growing military force.
But now they realized that they had misjudged the enemy's movements. There were actually more than 100,000 Jin soldiers on the entire Longzhou defense line.
Zhao Huan went to rest early, and the dog emperor was not very worried. He relied too much on Yue Fei and always felt that with Yue Fei by his side, he would always win every battle.
Little did they know that Yue Fei was extremely anxious and upset at the moment.
"Someone come! Someone come!" Yue Fei shouted.
Zhang Xian walked in from outside and called out, "Marshal Yue."
Yue Fei frowned and said, "Go call the signalman, it's urgent."
Zhang Xian did not dare to delay and soon called the beacon messenger.
Yue Fei said to the signalman, "Rush to Guangning Prefecture immediately and order Wu Ge's troops, who are rushing to support us, to abandon all their baggage and equipment and rush to Xianning. The sooner the better, at any cost!"
Zhang Xian was stunned: "General Yue, Wu Ge is a member of the Imperial Guard. I'm afraid he won't obey our orders."
Yue Fei pondered for a moment, took out a pen and paper and wrote a letter, stamping it with his own seal.
Yue Fei took the long sword and stabbed the messenger with a "chi" sound.
Zhang Xian was shocked: "General Yue!"
It was too late, Yue Fei had cut the messenger's arm.
The messenger was shocked. He didn't know what mistake he had made and hurriedly knelt down to beg for mercy.
Yue Fei threw away his sword, helped the messenger to his feet, and handed him the letter: "This matter is extremely urgent. When you meet Wu Ge in Guangning Prefecture, tell him that the Jin army of 200,000 has surrounded Xianping. You fought desperately to break through the siege to bring this letter. If Wu Ge asks about the wound on your shoulder, tell him that you were stabbed by the Jin soldiers during the breakout."
The messenger was still in a trance when Yue Fei continued, "If you can complete this mission, I will reward you with five hundred taels of gold. I will also ask His Majesty to grant you fertile land and a beautiful house, allowing you to return home and enjoy wealth and prosperity."
The messenger's eyes lit up immediately when he saw the treasure coming. This happiness came too suddenly, and he wished Yue Fei would give him two more swords.
The messenger put the envelope in his arms, ran out of the tent, jumped on his horse, and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Zhang Xian was delighted: "General Yue, this is a brilliant plan. But if we trick General Wu and throw away the baggage, what if the Jin troops are not that numerous? Would His Majesty be angry if he knew about this?"
Yue Fei sighed: "I originally wanted to ask Your Majesty to return to Guangning Prefecture for temporary refuge, but Your Majesty not only refused to listen, but also insisted on staying here. Your Majesty thought that he was sharing the hardships and adversities with the soldiers, but in fact he is a huge burden to us. Since you will not listen to my advice, I have no choice but to use this method."
Zhang Xian asked again: "What should we do next?"
Yue Fei said: "Quickly inform Liang Zifan and Guo Tianming to abandon the siege. It will be too late if we delay."
