He was also invited to a birthday banquet by the brothers Da Mingzhen and Da Mingyi.
"There isn't enough grain, wine, or meat,"
"Please forgive me,"
Da Mingzhen raised his cup in apology and said,
"My family's treasured wine,"
"They've brought everything out today,"
"Gentlemen, let's drink until we're completely drunk!"
Only two tables were set up in the inner courtyard.
They were all members of large clans, civil officials of Bohai, and generals of the Jurchen people.
Five tables were set up in the outer courtyard.
They were county and prefectural officials, Jurchen junior officers, and Bohai officers.
Sixtieth birthday
Only seven tables,
That's really shabby.
This actually prevented any suspicion.
The entire Jin Kingdom is now facing a food shortage.
The prefectures and counties in the Liaoxi Corridor are even poorer.
As long as there's alcohol, that's fine.
Both civil and military officials were craving it.
They drink and toast with everyone they meet.
When everyone had drunk enough,
Da Mingzhen put the wine cup down and said in a sarcastic tone:
"My clan, the Great Clan, are descendants of the royal family of Bohai,"
"Wandering from place to place, at the mercy of others."
"This is utterly disgraceful to our ancestors!"
The prefect was concurrently held by a Jurchen general.
I was too drunk to understand.
The county magistrate, however, was from the Bohai Li clan of Liaoyang.
He didn't think much of it under the influence of alcohol.
He slurred and laughed:
"There is also a powerful family in Liaoyang; they'll find a time when they have time,"
"General, you may go to Liaoyang to visit your relatives."
The Liaoyang Da clan is indeed impressive.
They were able to intermarry with Jurchen nobles.
Da Mingzhen sneered, "The Da family there is very powerful and influential."
"They won't bother with a minor clan like ours."
"What are you saying, General?"
"We are all Bohai people, and we are all one family."
Magistrate Li hadn't quite grasped what was happening yet.
Da Mingzhen pretended to offer a toast.
Holding a wine cup, he walked up behind the Jurchen general.
His younger brother, Damingyi, was also at another table offering a toast.
The two brothers suddenly pulled out short blades from their sleeves.
He held down the heads of the two Jurchen generals and slit their throats.
Chapter 386 Bloody Birthday Banquet
Da Mingzhen shouted, "Kill!"
The Bohai Navy general was drinking with officials and officers in the outer courtyard.
Upon hearing the shouts, they all drew the weapons they had hidden on their bodies.
A bloody birthday banquet.
Even the brothers' mother.
Nobody knows their plans.
Startled, they retreated repeatedly to avoid it.
But this old lady,
He quickly regained his composure.
Because she had seen far more horrific scenes than this.
Jurchen generals and officers,
They were all dealt with while the person was intoxicated.
The two brothers rode out on horseback to gather the army.
They charged towards the unsuspecting Jurchen soldiers.
Those Jurchen soldiers not only had no officers to command them,
They didn't even all gather together.
At least a quarter of them were so frightened that they fled to Zongzhou.
The following day, Li Bao arrived by boat with his troops.
The two men, Da Mingzhen and Da Mingyi,
As expected, he personally led his troops out of the city.
They even brought their whole family along.
At the same time, the four gates of the city were opened wide.
Although Li Bao loved taking risks
But they are cautious at crucial moments.
Send out a few small teams first.
They entered through different city gates.
A thorough search was conducted within the city.
Then they climbed the city wall and waved a flag to indicate that it was safe.
Upon seeing the flags waving atop the city wall,
Li Bao held Da Mingzhen's hand and said:
"Now that Your Excellency has returned to the right path, the Ming Dynasty will surely give you an important position."
"Your family members also need not go to Shandong,"
"They can all go to Tokyo to enjoy life."
Da Mingzhen and Da Mingyi knelt down in unison, presumably rehearsed.
"I am willing to die for the Ming Dynasty!"
The Liaoxi Corridor was thus cut off by Li Bao.
Next, Kim Jong-un will likely launch a fierce counterattack.
The loss of this city was a thorn in the side for the Jin Dynasty.
The Jin Dynasty's Bojilie Conference
This may have given rise to a third force.
Wanyan Zongwang's position was extremely awkward.
He was a member of the lineage of Emperor Shizu, represented by Wanyan Xieye.
He was brought in as a military leader to counterbalance Wanyan Zonghan.
Wanyan Xieye and Wanyan Zonghan have temporarily joined forces.
Wanyan Zongwang only managed to obtain the position of Grand Marshal.
He seemed to control the military power of the Jin Dynasty.
In reality, the power they held hadn't changed at all.
Everyone else is making progress.
But he remained stagnant.
That would be equivalent to retreating.
After returning to Yanshan Prefecture,
Wanyan Zongwang then said to Wanyan Talan:
"At this Bojilie Conference, I recommended you for the position of Left Deputy Grand Marshal."
"And you?" Wanyan Talan asked.
Wanyan Zongwang said, "It's the same as always."
"He only received the seemingly prestigious position of Grand Marshal."
Wanyan Talan was silent for a moment, then said:
"We should join forces too."
Wanyan Talan was Aguda's cousin.
In the past two years, they have been marginalized by the Shizu faction.
However, they were unable to integrate into Wanyan Zonghan's group.
It's a bit like being caught in the middle, not liked by either side.
Jurchen nobles in similar situations,
Although not many, they are not few either.
Historically, Wanyan Talan eventually sided with Wuqimai.
And after Wu Qimai died,
They also joined forces with Wu Qimai's son.
They were the ones who released Qin Hui.
This group's original intention was to release Qin Hui.
It was not to overthrow the Southern Song Dynasty.
On the contrary, they genuinely wanted to negotiate peace with the Southern Song Dynasty.
They even planned to return the lands of Shaanxi and Henan.
Use the Southern Song Dynasty to counterbalance the pro-war faction in the Jin Dynasty!
As for the final result,
