Sky Curtain: The Overlord Charges into Battle, Shocking Emperors of All Dynasties

[During the second Jin invasion southward, Li Gang had already been sent away by Emperor Qinzong of Song, who was not focusing on military preparations and was only thinking about making peace with the Jin.]

[After all, from his perspective, they had already negotiated peace with the Jurchens the first time. The Jurchens only wanted some gold and silver, and peace in exchange for gold and silver was a good thing.]

However, he did not expect that the Jin army had already reached the walls of Kaifeng. This time, no reinforcements from Kaifeng came to support the emperor, giving the Jin the advantage.

[Once Kaifeng is captured, all the gold and silver in the city will belong to the Jurchens. Will Emperor Qinzong of Song still need to provide it?]

Faced with the encirclement by the Jin army, Chancellor He Li and Privy Councilor Sun Fu recommended a man: Guo Jing, a low-ranking soldier in the Imperial Guard.

Guo Jing claimed that he possessed the Six Ding and Six Jia Divine Arts, which allowed him to summon the Six Jia Divine Soldiers, capture the two Jin army commanders, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang, and even directly attack Yinshan.

[Such outrageous statements would raise doubts in any normal person, but the key point is that the prime minister, the privy councilor, and the emperor all believed them.]

Thus, Guo Jing transformed from a lowly soldier into a military strategist and governor of Yanzhou.

Emperor Qinzong of Song allowed him to raise his own troops to resist the Jin army.

"Idiot!"

Li Longji blurted out this curse.

The most extreme foul mouth, the most extreme enjoyment.

He truly couldn't fathom what Emperor Qinzong and his ministers were thinking.

This kind of thing is obviously fake.

How could Guo Jing possibly possess the Six Ding Six Jia Divine Arts?

Tang Dynasty emperors claimed to be descendants of Lao Tzu and recognized Taoism as the state religion.

Li Longji, in particular, personally received Taoist ordination and even added Laozi and Zhuangzi to the imperial examinations.

Li Longji could even say:

No one understands the Tao better than me!

He doesn't even know the Six Ding and Six Jia, how could a mere soldier know them?

Emperor Qinzong could have simply had Guo Jing summon one of them to test the waters.

If Zhao Huan himself was a fool, does that mean the entire Song Dynasty court was full of fools?

During the Jiajing period,

Zhu Houcong flicked his sleeve, making it look exactly like a crane spreading its wings, and said with a hint of disdain,

"How could Emperor Huizong and Emperor Huan believe in such a charlatan?"

Zhu Houcong himself practiced Taoism and also employed some Taoist priests.

However, he never allowed these Taoist priests to participate in the country's military and political affairs.

If someone tells him that they can summon the Six Jia Divine Generals to help the Ming Dynasty eliminate the Japanese pirates...

Zhu Houcong would definitely arrest this person and torture him severely.

He is quite enthusiastic about Taoist practices, but that doesn't mean he's a fool.

Moreover, Zhu Houcong felt more that as the Emperor of the Great Ming Dynasty, the Longevity Emperor, and the Flying Origin True Lord, he did not possess the Six Jia Divine Arts.

What makes others think they can do it?

How dare Zhao Ji call himself the First Son of the Jade Emperor and the Divine Emperor of the Firmament?

How ridiculous!

After obtaining Zhao Huan's permission, Guo Jing recruited 7,777 people in Kaifeng. His recruitment criteria were based solely on their birth dates and times; he did not assess their martial arts skills or provide them with any training.

Therefore, this force of 7,700 Liujia soldiers was almost entirely composed of thugs and street thugs, and had virtually no fighting ability.

On the 25th day of the intercalary eleventh month of the first year of the Jingkang era, heavy snow fell. Guo Jing led this ragtag group to the Xuanhua Gate city wall, intending to fight the Jin army outside the city head-on.

If these people were just guarding the city, that would be one thing. With the assistance of the regular soldiers on the city walls, these people could at least be considered manpower. Moving logs or throwing molten gold could be considered making the best use of them.

However, Guo Jing, citing the need to prevent anyone from peeking during his divine magic performance, ordered all the imperial guards on the city wall to withdraw.

[Afterwards, Guo Jing sat upright on the city wall, chanted incantations for a while, and then opened the Xuanhua Gate wide.]

Seven thousand seven hundred and seventy-seven "Six Armor Divine Soldiers" went out of the city to meet the elite troops of the Jin army.

Above the sky, a scene slowly unfolds.

A Taoist priest, dressed in a Bagua robe and wielding a peach wood sword, was performing a dance on the city wall that no one else could understand.

As the camera zooms in, you can see that the man's eyes are entirely white, without any black part; you can only see the muscles around his eye sockets that he is trying so hard to compress.

Guo Jing was clearly just putting on an act.

On the opposite side of the city wall, the Jin Dynasty army, especially the vanguard troops closest to the wall, were completely bewildered.

Has this Taoist priest gone mad? What is he trying to do?

Guo Jing's bizarre and frenzied dance grew faster and faster. He suddenly pointed his peach wood sword downwards and shouted in a mystical tone:

"Six Jia Divine Soldiers, come quickly to my aid!!"

A teeth-grinding creaking sound rang out as the Xuanhua city gate slowly opened.

A commotion arose from inside the city gate, and before the ancients stood 7,777 "Six Jia Divine Generals" outside the city wall, in front of the Jin army.

These so-called divine generals had faces painted with five colors, wore tattered clothes and flags, and were disheveled and filthy, holding broken ritual implements in their hands.

As soon as the city gates opened, they came out in a chaotic and noisy commotion.

After the city gates opened, upon seeing the Jin army arrayed on horseback opposite them, their mouths seemed to be squeezed shut; not a sound was uttered.

The camera pans down, revealing their thin legs, hidden beneath their tattered robes, trembling uncontrollably, as if they were about to collapse.

"Ha ha ha ha!"

When the ancients saw the appearance of the "Six Armor Divine Soldiers" whom Emperor Huizong and his son trusted, they couldn't help but burst into laughter.

Did Emperor Huizong and Emperor Heng rely on these people to defend the city?

It seems that Emperor Huizong and his son were truly desperate and grasped at this as a last resort.

The laughter gradually subsided. All time and space fell silent as if by unspoken agreement. After the laughter, an indescribable sense of melancholy welled up in their hearts.

When the Ming Dynasty was attacked by the Mongols and reached the gates of Beijing, Yu Qian was still there and was able to defend the capital.

But what did Zhao Ji and his son have? What were they hoping for?

Who could the people of Kaifeng possibly hope would come to their rescue?

Are they a group of thugs and ruffians forming the Six Armies? Or are they relying on the calligraphy and painting of Emperor Huizong of Song, Zhao Ji?

It seemed like a foregone conclusion that Kaifeng would fall to the Jin army.

The emperors and ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty now wore expressions of despair.

Keep in mind that Emperor Huizong and Emperor Huan were still in Kaifeng.

Previously, they even mocked Zhu Qizhen of the Ming Dynasty for being captured by the Oirats.

Now, it seems that their Great Song Dynasty is also destined to suffer the same fate.

[Faced with this rabble, the Jin army was briefly taken aback before becoming overjoyed. Their cavalry charged suddenly, and the "Six Armor Divine Soldiers" collapsed instantly. Large numbers of soldiers fell into the Hulong River, even filling the riverbed.]

Seeing that defeat was inevitable, Guo Jing lied and said he would go downstairs to the front lines to cast a spell. As soon as he stepped off the city wall, he fled south.

The imperial guards who had previously defended Xuanhua Gate had long been transferred away by Guo Jing, and the Jin army occupied this empty city wall almost effortlessly, and then occupied the entire outer city.

At this point, the outer city had already fallen, but the inner city was still in the hands of the Song Dynasty. It was only a matter of time before the Jin army breached the inner city.

At this point, the Jin army wanted to negotiate peace.

"It's fake. Anyone who believes that is a pig's head."

"Ha, I guarantee that those two scoundrels, Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan, would believe that."

"That makes sense!!"

Who would believe that with the meat right in front of them, these Jurchen wolves would simply give up and not eat it?

However, for Emperor Huizong and Emperor Huan of that time, they dared not gamble.

What if?

What if the Jurchens, like the first time, are genuinely negotiating peace?
