Chapter 150: The Pillars of the Nation

In April of the fifth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty, Tong Guan and Cai You led the troops into Yanshan Mansion. At this time, the golden silks, children, officials, and households in Yanjing have all been swept away, and only some poor people who are hiding in the ruins of Yanjing City are left. The Great Song Dynasty lost millions of coins, Zhao Guanren settled the world, and Master Tong made seven or eight clever plans, but in the end he only changed such an empty city.

At the beginning of entering the city, Tong Guan Cai You couldn't help but feel depressed, but remembering that he had established an immortal miracle after all, he comforted and comforted himself and became proud. Soon Zong Wang took the map of Yanjing Road to hand it over, and the two groups of people met outside the city. Zong Wang looked down on the Song people at this time, and he didn't care that Tong Guan was in the Great Song Dynasty, and he didn't care that the status of the two was roughly equal, so he asked Tong Guan to bow to him when they met. Tong Guan's face turned red after knowing what Zong Wang meant from the translator's mouth, but looking at the wolf-like generals behind Zong Wang, he didn't dare to attack, and whispered to Zhao Liangsi for a while, asking him to find a way to avoid making a fool of himself no matter what.

Zhao Liangsi approached Zongwang and politely asked the second prince to save some face for Master Tong, and promised that there would be heavy thanks afterwards. Zong Wang laughed when he heard this, and said in his heart: "This is the general of the three armies of the Great Song Dynasty!" ”

In this way, the world-famous Tong Taishi used advanced means of bribery to save his face in this important diplomatic occasion. After the Jin soldiers withdrew from Yanjing, Tong Guan immediately congratulated Bianliang, and the courtiers under the leadership of Wang Huang also congratulated him. Soon Tong Guan, Cai You's class teacher, Emperor Daojun of the Great Song Dynasty held a banquet for them to wash the dust, and recovered Yan and Yun (Datong Mansion has not actually received it), gave Wang Huangbao to bring in Taifu, the general rule of the three provinces, gave Tong Guan Jieyue, entered the Duke of Xu Yuguo, with Cai You as the young master, and Zhao Liangsi as the bachelor of Yankang Palace. All the main war ministers, regardless of their previous failures and mistakes, have been promoted to knighthood, and for a time the Chinese diplomatic reputation was celebrated by the government and the opposition.

However, Tong Guan has dragged on for too long in this matter after all, and many things are very unsatisfactory to the heart of the emperor. Seeing this, Wang Hao recommended another minister, Tan Zhen, as Xuanfu. On the same day, Emperor Daojun threw down a decree to take Tan Zhi as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong, Yanshanfu Road and Hebei Road, and ordered him to be stationed in Hedong and be responsible for negotiating with Zong Han Xijing Road, which had not yet been returned. Soon, he ordered Tong Guan to follow the former Taishi and Shenxiao Palace envoys, and to the officer.

Although Tong Guan was gone, the strategy of the Great Song Dynasty towards the northern kingdom had not changed much. Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others are actually people who understand, they see that the Jin people are so evil, and the imperial court is so weak, they all know that the alliance on the sea is in danger, but who dares to say it in this situation? Even if it is said, who will listen?

Therefore, the border defense construction of the Great Song Dynasty in the Yanjing area was put on hold, and there was neither the will to train troops and forge ahead, nor the strategy of preparing defense from the beginning.

Fortunately, at this time, the Jin State did not have the extra spiritual strength to clean up the Great Song Dynasty, and Ah Gu ordered Zong Han to be the capital commander, and Yan Mu and Hu Lu were the deputies, and the troops were stationed in the clouds to prepare for the side, and Wu Qimai was summoned to meet in the line.

Although Yang Yingqi is under house arrest, he is very aware of the changes that are taking place around him. After that meeting, which didn't have time to talk, Ah Guta never summoned him again, and Yang Yingqi was happy not to hit Ah Guta's knife edge. The army marched north, some troops slowly left the team, while others joined in, Yang Yingqi judged through some clues that most of the newcomers may be descendants of the Wanyan Department or clans with closer relations, and those tribes with more distant relations were gradually branched out - this is a very important change, Yang Yingqi knows that Ah Guta is selecting an elite army that can deal with the Han Tribe! Due to Zhi Yanchong's high prestige within the Jin Kingdom, and Yang Yingqi's diplomatic skills are very good, and the Han Department has too much money that can be used to buy, so those troops who can't guarantee loyalty can't be used this time! For example, people like Yelu Yujian and others, who knows if they will defect under the bribe of the Han Ministry?

"It's a double-edged sword deployment with half at stake!" Yang Yingqi thought to himself: "Gathering the most loyal and elite tribes of the Jurchens can indeed create an extremely terrifying army!" ”

There has always been a saying in the northern country that "the Jurchens are not satisfied with ten thousand, and they are invincible". 10,000 Jurchen elite soldiers are assembled, and that kind of combat power will simply make the entire Northeast Plain tremble! And the Jurchen soldiers and horses that Aguta is about to convene may be more than 10,000!

"Maybe 30,000! Or even fifty thousand! ”

In the past two years, the tribes bordering the Jurchens have been very honest, and even if the Jurchen elite is transferred to Tokyo Province, it will not shake the country's capital for a while, because the Northeast Plain is open, and the road has been extended to all major areas of the Tongjiang River in recent years with the efforts of merchants.

"However, this deployment is also very dangerous!" Yang Yingqi thought of the Battle of Weishui, in which the Qin were severely defeated by the Di army, which was the foundation of the state's sustaining power, which led to the rapid disintegration of the Qin after the defeat. "The lord of the kingdom is also on an adventure now! According to the current deployment, once the Yan Department is defeated, no! There is no need to be completely defeated, as long as Liaonan cannot be defeated, or this army loses more than a third of its strength, the foundation of the Jin State will be loose! If you lose more than half of your troops, the entire Kingdom of Jin will collapse! ”

Mongolia in the west, the Jurchens in the East China Sea, the mountain Murwei in the north, and the Khitan temporarily subjugated in the south are not fuel-efficient lamps! Only if the Jurchens continue to win and maintain an undefeated record, will the other tribes continue to accept their rule because of their prestige, but once the Jurchens lose the battle, they will immediately be coveted and attacked! If the Jurchen can't maintain its absolute military superiority over the other tribes, then the few tribes that have honestly fought behind it before will take the opportunity to fight back! For thousands of years, the tribes of the northern kingdom have been wiped out one after another in this situation! There has never been an evergreen tree like the Han people! Because the roots of these barbarian nations are destructive rather than constructive, they can use hundreds of thousands of people to burst out with the military power that threatens and even defeats the Han nation, but in Yang Yingqi's heart, although this destructive force is strong, the nation with only destructive power is not worthy of respect!

"It's a hundred times harder to build than to destroy!" Yang Yingqi felt that the development of civilization often leads to weakness, but that is not a reason for a nation to return to barbarism. "We have to keep going, and while the threat is terrible, we have to keep going! It has been persisting for more than a thousand years since the Spring and Autumn Period, and as long as I cross this hurdle again, the previous suffering will also become a new factor for my Han to become stronger! ”

At this moment, Yang Yingqi seemed to be completely integrated into this history, as if he had completely forgotten that he had a dream a thousand years later. In his time and space, in addition to Bianliang, there is another intoxicating place in the world, that is, Jinmen, which has grafted the genes of the Great Song Dynasty civilization. That place was the brainchild of Yang Yingqi after waking up from a dream, and he hoped that Jinmen was just the starting point of this dream civilization, not the end.

"Can you hold it......" Yang Yingqi looked at the southeast and muttered to himself. Although the armor of the Han was more sophisticated than that of the Jurchens, and the equipment was more advanced, the current gap in the technical level of the two sides was not enough to be a decisive force affecting the outcome of the war. Thinking that Ah Guda might dispatch three to fifty thousand Jurchen elites, Yang Yingqi trembled with fear in his heart.

Just when Yang Yingqi was both looking forward to and worrying about the future of the Han Dynasty, Zhi Yanchong was strolling through the back garden of the General's Mansion with a book; Cao Guangbi had just received an order from Aguta to "closely monitor Zhang Jue" and was confined to Laizhou; Yang Kaiyuan was on his way back to Liaokou; Ouyang Shi's fleet has set sail; Aruban was again sent to pacify the Jurchens of the East China Sea; And the most surprising among the brothers is Xiao Tienu, who has the closest relationship with Ah Gu Da in recent years - he even learned to Zhi Yan Chong to call himself sick and turned away Ah Gu Da's messenger! This kind of rebellious behavior seems to be deliberately trying to provoke Ah Guta!

Doesn't this daring horse thief know what he is afraid of? Or is he simply hungry for this war? Even if southern Liaoning will become a scorched earth because of this?

Liaonan is very important to Yang Yingqi, and Yang Yingqi is very important to Zhi Yanchong, but what are these two to Xiao Tienu?

"Eat!"

Yang Pu, who was teaching Xiao Tienu to play chess, was stunned, and changed his son as soon as the battle started, what kind of tactics is this? Yang Pu couldn't understand it, because he didn't know that this was Xiao Tienu's tactics.
