The one wearing the Black Armored General, unafraid of Jin Bing, led hundreds of soldiers out of the city gates, quickly pursuing them with the intention of catching up and eliminating them all.
Wang Bin, stationed at Taiyuan City, was one of the few cities in the Northern Song known for its formidable combat strength, capable of standing against Jin Bing, even possessing an undefeated power in prolonged battles!
The soldiers under his command had undergone brutal training, having crawled out from piles of corpses multiple times, and their combat effectiveness was strong; they regarded Jin Bing as their enemy.
In the future, it would become the most solid city in the north, with military and civilians united, making it difficult to conquer.
However, despite chasing after them, they still could not catch up to the dozens of Jin Bing riding Warhorses, who were well-prepared.
It was estimated that once Jin Bing returned, they would quickly retreat without daring to stay even for a moment.
They also discovered more corpses, those belonging to Zhang Er and his men; even the Warhorses had been brutally slain by Jin Bing! Left discarded by the desolate roadside.
Their heads had been severed by chaotic blades, bloodied and dropped to the side; it was truly cruel!
Of course, they also found the remaining body of Zhang Er, dressed in golden silk clothing; he was unmistakable!
They placed those corpses on horseback; it was unfortunate that they had died. At the same time, there was some sadness as they brought them back to the city! However, how could the people of Great Song allow their bodies to remain on a desolate road?
They also found something even more important: a memorial left by Jin Bing addressed to the Peace Envoy!
It was encased in yellow paper, consisting of several sheets of white paper bound together, densely written with numerous black characters.
Upon returning to Taiyuan City, they handed over the memorial to Qin Feng.
Qin Feng cautiously accepted the yellow memorial, fearing there might be hidden weapons or poison that could harm him.
However, the returning general beside him had already checked this memorial; it contained no poison and was addressed to Great Song's Peace Envoy.
Zhang Bangchang still appeared disheveled and continued to cry loudly, his long hair in disarray and his demeanor unbearable.
He was resting in a house nearby and seemed unaware that the memorial had been delivered; he likely had no mind to read it.
I am truly saddened by the death of my confidant, Zhang Er; it feels as if my own brother has died! The pain is overwhelming.
I slowly opened the memorial, revealing several pages of white paper, which were densely filled with black characters.
These words seemed somewhat difficult to understand, written in an ancient style, proclaiming something like the command of the great general of the Jin Kingdom, which was arrogant and disrespectful, showing no regard for the Song Dynasty.
The general meaning was that the Song Dynasty had acted in bad faith, launching a surprise attack on our army and killing tens of thousands of Jin soldiers. This was intolerable; we must march south with a great army to conquer Tokyo City.
If the Song Dynasty were to obediently surrender Taiyuan, this major city, and have all the civil and military officials come out to welcome us, we would treat the Emperor of Song kindly and give them a fair deal.
If they refuse, when we breach the city, we will seize their wealth and grain, and take their beautiful women back to the Jin Kingdom. In that case, Tokyo City will become a living hell.
Qin Feng managed to read through this document, though there were some characters he did not recognize; still, he understood the gist.
There was no hope for peace talks now; the Jin Kingdom's army would definitely continue its invasion of Song and advance toward Tokyo City. This meant the destruction of our Great Song!
They are truly a pack of insatiable vicious wolves, worse than beasts. Despite receiving silver from us every year, they treat our Great Song this way.
His eyes and face were filled with anger; the more he read, the angrier he became.
In frustration, he threw down the Jin Kingdom's memorial onto the ground. He truly wished to slay those Jin people; how dare they disrupt our Huaxia from the north!
The surrounding generals and soldiers felt shocked upon witnessing this; this is what a real man looks like! A true son of our Great Song!
Ordinary civil officials would be extremely angry upon seeing such memorials but would not dare utter a word against them. Yet here he was, bold enough to throw down the Jin Kingdom's memorial—what great spirit!
However, despite his anger, he still needed to pick up the memorial because it was a matter of national importance sent from the Jin Kingdom; it must not be damaged!
A Black Armored General bent down to pick up the memorial. The quality was quite good; it had only gathered some dust but was not damaged.
Their eyes shone with excitement and admiration, their faces filled with pride; there was nothing wrong with him.
Qin Feng slammed the memorial onto the ground, feeling a significant amount of anger dissipate. However, he realized that it was an important document and throwing it away seemed a bit reckless.
The Generals around him were merely excited, as if they felt justified in their actions, elevating the prestige of the Great Song.
Suddenly, Zhang Bangchang rushed over, tears still visible on his face, with his long hair disheveled and looking somewhat disheveled himself.
"Qin Brother, I heard that someone from the Jin Kingdom brought a memorial. Is it about the Negotiation? Let me see it; I need to strategize."
Qin Feng was somewhat surprised; it seemed he was still upset but had regained some spirit.
He said, "The Jin Kingdom indeed sent a memorial, but it wasn't delivered by anyone. Our people found it next to a corpse; it was intentionally discarded there. How arrogant and disrespectful!"
He pointed to the side where the yellow memorial lay in the hands of a general.
Zhang Bangchang hurried over, took the memorial from his hand, and began to read it carefully. His previously dull eyes became much more spirited.
"By order of Jin Kingdom's Commander Zhan Han, the Song State suddenly attacked Jin Bing. Over ten thousand Jin soldiers perished, and the entire army is furious. The negotiations are nullified; there will be no discussions about peace. In the future, troops will definitely be stationed in Taiyuan to invade the Great Song. Within half a month, a large army will gather at Tokyo City."
After reading just the first page, his plump hands began to tremble uncontrollably. He initially thought this was about peace talks but was shocked to find it was a declaration of war.
The Jin Kingdom was truly overstepping! They had launched a surprise attack under cover of night but shifted all blame onto the Great Song while planning to invade Taiyuan and march on Tokyo. Their ambitions were truly wolfish.
As he continued reading further down, his fear only grew.
His hands were no longer just trembling; now his entire body shook with anxiety. This was genuinely alarming.
Qin Feng and the soldiers nearby were also watching, no longer interested in reading the memorial but rather observing Zhang Bangchang's reaction.
Zhang Bangchang trembled as he shouted, "The Jin Kingdom has wolfish ambitions! The Great Song is in danger! The Great Song is in danger!"
He suddenly closed his eyes and collapsed without warning, quickly falling to the ground.
They quickly helped him up, not expecting him to be so flustered that he fainted.
With several people, they took him to the House to rest, and of course, sent someone to find a doctor from the military camp to treat him.
Soon, General Wang Bin arrived in a hurry with several other generals.
Upon learning about Jin Bing sending Zhang Er's head, they also found out that the memorial from the Jin people had been brought back to Taiyuan City.
They saw the memorial in the general's hand, which was nothing but nonsense, a forced excuse for the army to invade Song.
He cursed, "Jin Bing is a pack of wolves and tigers, worse than beasts. They want to mobilize the army to invade Song. We will fight to the death to defend the city and will never let them move south!"
He threw the memorial back into the general's hands, extremely angry.
He did not dare to throw it directly on the ground, but he ordered eight hundred cavalry to be dispatched urgently to Tokyo City to present it to the Sovereign.
The soldiers around were also very angry. Having followed him for these years, they had long been prepared to sacrifice for their country and fight to the death against Jin Bing.
They shouted, "Jin Bing is a pack of wolves and tigers, worse than beasts. We will firmly defend Taiyuan and fight to the death against Jin Bing. We will never let them move south."
