1142 Persuasion
Wan Yan Jing was ready to lose all the preparations for the loss of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, and Wan Yan Jing, who was personally conscripted, not only took away all the courtiers in Yanjing City, but even the palace maids and eunuchs in the palace were all taken away by him, leaving only Wan Yan Shoudao and the begging stone lie gods and slaves who had not yet returned to Yanjing Mansion to guard Yanjing.
The mighty army set out from Yanjing, almost like when they invaded the Song Dynasty and returned to Wujing Road with all the booty, including the second emperor of Huiqin, all the concubines and queens also lived in the mighty army.
At this time, Wanyan Yongji, the king of Weishao on Zhongjing Road, had already moved a spare place for Wanyan Jing in Zhongjing Dading Mansion.
Although it was not explicitly stated, the soldiers and courtiers who followed Yan Jing's personal expedition now knew very well in their hearts that this farewell was probably a farewell to Yanjing and other places, as if it had been handed over to the Song people in its entirety.
Before Wan Yan Jing set off, although some people suggested that it was better to burn Yanjing with a fire, but in the end, under Wan Yan Jing's oath and promise, Wan Yan Jing rejected the plan to destroy Yanjing with a fire.
Although Wan Yan Xiang's proposal made his heart move, he was also more willing to believe Wan Yan Shoudao's words, or he was more willing to deceive himself into believing that when he drove his own expedition to quell the rebellion, he would soon be able to turn back and retake Yanjing and other places.
Even Wan Yan Jing knew very well in his heart that once Yan Jing and the other sixteen states were lost and firmly held by Ye Qing, he might be difficult to take them back, but he was willing to leave a hope in his heart or just in case, and he was willing to look forward to it, maybe under the joint efforts of Wan Yan Shoudao and the begging stone lie gods and slaves, Yan Jing would be able to hold out until he put down the rebellion.
From the time Wan Yan Jing arrived at Dading Mansion, until the Shangyuan Festival had passed unconsciously in the series of battles, Wan Yan Jing, who had personally conquered the Imperial Palace, had just transported all the things he wanted to bring back from Yanjing to Dading Mansion on Zhongjing Road.
Zhongjing Road Dading Mansion is only more than 300 miles away from Yanjing, and now with the arrival of the 200,000 army led by Wan Yanjing, the situation of the entire Wujing Road has changed in an instant.
The Yeluliuge brothers had to ask Temujin, who had already arrived on Xijing Road, to ask for help and surrender to Cheng, knowing that they were invincible.
The five Jin generals, Di Jier, Ji Sizhong, Du Thorn, Yi Thorn, and Tun Ao, took over the army of Wanyan Chengyu and Wanyan Heda who had just been defeated at the first time, thus launching a counterattack against the Khitan Liao and the Mongols.
The Khitan Liao people on Xijing Road and Beijing Road began to retreat rapidly, and Yelu Liuge and Yelu Gobu had to start urgently asking Temujin for help again.
At the same time, around Yanjing, the armies of Zhong Silkworm, Mo Xiaobao, Xin Qiji, and Lao Liu Tou are now also full of morale, and the army of nearly 100,000 is about to completely surround Yanjing.
The begging stone lie gods and slaves who received the holy decree of Yan Jing from Zhending Mansion had to give up the strict defense in Zhending Mansion, and led all the armies to begin to retreat to Yanjing, and the Yeluyue army behind him, as soon as he entered Zhending Mansion, ushered in the reinforcements of Sima Jian and Hengqiao behind him, and after the three met in Zhending Mansion, Yeluyue's army of less than 20,000 people was originally left, and at this moment it became an army of nearly 70,000 people.
And now the Song people's three-way army besieging Yanjing is now about to reach 200,000 people.
When Ye Qing led 3,000 kinds of Huajia army and Xu Han's 10,000 people from Shunzhou to the south and approached Yanjing, the begging stone lie gods and slaves had already fought with Yeluyue, who was chasing closely behind him, Mo Xiaobao led an army of 20,000 from Yanjing City to meet the begging stone lie god slaves, Zhong Silkworm led the army to continue to besiege Yanjing without attacking, and Lao Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er went to Jizhou, the northernmost part of the sixteen states of Yanyun, so as to strive to be able to take all the sixteen states of Yanyun when Yanjing was broken.
At the beginning of February of the third year of Qingyuan, Wan Yan Jing, who was personally driven by the Zhongjing Road Imperial Expedition, won great victories one after another, and at the same time, the price paid was that when the gods and slaves of Qishilie were thirty miles away from the sixteen states of Yanyun, they were defeated by the army led by Mo Xiaobao and Ye Luyue.
Ye Qing, who had arrived in Yanjing City from Shunzhou, prevented Yeluyue and Mo Xiaobao from chasing and beating the begging stone lie gods and slaves, so that the begging stone lie gods and slaves led the only remaining 20,000 remnants of the army to defeat and had to lay down their weapons and surrender.
On February 10 of the third year of Qingyuan, Ye Qing led an army of 3,000 people to plant flowers, and met with Yeluyue, Mo Xiaobao, and Zhong Silkworm outside Yanjing City, and met the captured begging stone martyrs.
The emaciated beggar Shilie Divine Slave Yanjing was flushed, with a messy beard, and even a little bruise and bruise on his face, apparently he had suffered a lot when he was captured by the Song people.
Ye Qing in the camp tent glanced at Mo Xiaobao, Mo Xiaobao immediately smiled, and the Yanling knife on his waist was quickly pulled out, cutting off the rope on the body of the begging stone martyr god slave.
As Mo Xiaobao walked out of the tent, the empty eyes of the begging stone lie gods and slaves began to look at the entire tent, and they got up and moved their hands and feet a little numb.
"Why don't you kill me?" The beggar god slave asked in a hoarse voice.
"Is Wan Yan Jing going to drive the expedition?" Ye Qing ignored the question of the begging stone martyr and asked rhetorically.
"I don't know." The beggar stone martyr said calmly.
"The sixteen states of Yanyun are already in my hands, begging the gods and slaves of Shilie, and now the general trend of the Jin Kingdom has gone. I guess that Wan Yan Jing must choose one of the two to abandon the defense, since the attack on Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, I have not encountered any obstacles at all, except for a few battles between you and her, it is a few battles between Mo Xiaobao, Zhong Silkworm and Wan Yan Shoudao. This is enough to show that compared with the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it is obvious that Wanyan Jing attaches more importance to the foundation of your Jin Kingdom. So he's going to do it himself, right? Ye Qing still asked calmly, not dissatisfied with the cold attitude of the begging stone lie god slave.
Even at this moment, he felt a little guilty about Wan Yanjing in his heart, but this kind of guilt was obviously not worth mentioning at all compared to the major events of his family and country.
Ye Luyue looked at Ye Qing from the side, although she didn't know very well why Ye Qing didn't kill the begging stone lie god slave, she also believed that Ye Qing's move was not because he was more familiar with the begging stone lie god slave before he let him go.
Turning his head to look at Ye Luyue, who was also much thinner than when he had just set out on the expedition, Ye Qing sighed slightly, got up and walked to the Qishilie Divine Slave, and said slowly: "I can let you and your captured soldiers go north to help Wan Yan Jing, but I have one condition, persuade Wan Yan Shoudao to give up Yanjing and go north with you to find Wan Yan Jing." ”
The begging stone martyr god slave only looked at Ye Qing at this time, and after being silent for a long time, he asked, "Why?" ”
"After Yan Jing's personal expedition, it is obvious that he hopes to be able to quell the rebellion in the shortest possible time, and then turn around and recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun while my foothold is unstable. His wishful thinking worked well, and if it were me, I would probably do the same. But....... Ye Qing took a deep breath, and his sincere expression was extremely hypocritical and hateful in the eyes of the begging stone lie gods and slaves at this moment: "You fought against the Khorezm people with me and Temujin back then, do you think Wan Yan Jing and all the soldiers under his command are Temujin's opponents?" ”
"Brother Yelu Liuge and Brother Yelu Liubu alone may not cause much hindrance to Wan Yan Jing, he has the ability and strength to quell the rebellion of Brother Yelu Brother in the fastest time. But will the Mongols watch the Jeluliugo brothers be quickly suppressed by the Jin? What's more, Temujin is now near Xijing Road, once he knows that the Jin army is led by Wan Yan Jing himself to quell the rebellion, do you think Temujin will still sit idly by? Ye Qing continued to say slowly, Ye Luyue next to her didn't know why, because Ye Qing's words suddenly became a little nervous.
At this time, the expressions of the begging stone lie gods and slaves also became more gloomy and solemn, and a pair of eyes that had already lost their fighting spirit and were like trapped beasts gradually became brighter at this moment: "What do you mean?" ”
"I also just learned that Temujin was near Xijing Road." Ye Qing sighed slightly, and then said in a deep voice: "Moreover, Yelu Xuedu, the eldest son of Yelu Liuge, has been by Temujin's side for many years, and Yelu Xue Du has followed Temujin in the battle to destroy Liao. In other words, Yeluliuge's defection to Temujin was not all because of a reason for Wanyan Yongji's suppression of the Khitan Liao, but because he had long had the intention of rebelling, and he had already taken refuge in the Mongols. ”
The begging Shilie gods and slaves unconsciously looked at Yeluyue, after all, they were the princesses of the Liao Kingdom, whether Yeluliuge's eldest son Yeluxue had really been cast into Temujin's tent, the begging Shilie gods and slaves were not clear, because he was not very familiar with Yeluliuge, and he was completely unclear about the whereabouts of Yeluliuge's sons.
"Is what he said true?" The beggar stone martyr god slave asked Yeluyue.
Yeluyue shook her head slightly, and said truthfully: "I don't know, when the Mongolian iron cavalry broke through the Liao Wangcheng, I had been leading the Wujiang army to intercept Mu Huali's army, and I don't know who led the other Mongolian armies in the royal city. ”
There was a hint of suspicion in the eyes of the begging stone lie god slaves, and their gaze moved to Ye Qing again.
"You can not believe it, because it doesn't matter. The important thing is that once Temujin knew that your Emperor was personally leading the rebellion in the Jin Kingdom, Temujin would never have supported the Jeruliugo brothers only occasionally, as he did now, and would have sent a large army into the territory of the Jin Kingdom, thus ...... Or do you want Wan Yan Jing to be captured by Temujin? Ye Qing's brows furrowed, what he was most worried about was that Temujin would attack Wan Yan Jing.
With Wan Yan Jing and the generals in front of him, it is completely impossible for him to be Temujin's opponent, not to mention that the strong generals under Temujin's command are like clouds, but now they have been left on the grassland, watching the Khitan Liao people and the Jin people kill each other.
But if Temujin saw the opportunity to destroy the Jin State in one fell swoop, or even capture the Jin Emperor, Temujin would definitely not let go of this opportunity, and when the time came, he would inevitably send a real Mongol army into the territory of the Jin people, and strive to kill the Jin State in the first place.
With the development of the situation, it is very likely that Ye Qing will seize the coveted sixteen states of Yanyun, and Temujin will once again take the opportunity to seize the other half of the territory of Jin, so that Jin will be like Liao, and it will be a successful end in the history books.
Although this kind of situation development is not the worst outcome for Ye Qing, the pressure on the long defense line of the Northland will increase a lot, which will also make the entire territory of the Northland fall into a situation where there will be conflicts with the Mongols at any time.
Just like the analysis of Ye Qing by the begging stone martyrs, when Ye Qing was about to achieve his goal through the war, Ye Qing and the army under his command were actually in a grim situation at the end of the crossbow.
Now the entire Jingzhao Mansion and Hetao Road 3 are almost completely empty, and Shandong Road is also empty now, and it is difficult to recruit even a soldier, Wang Zhong and Xie Lun have to leave the Guanlong Barracks at this time and take the new army to garrison the Hetao 3rd Road, so as to be able to give some support to the military judgment.
And there is not much grain and grass left now, if the war continues, Ye Qing does not dare to guarantee what will happen to the Mongols, but they are afraid that they will have to live a difficult life of real lack of food and clothing, and at that time, if they fight with the Mongols, they will not have much confidence in whether they can hold Ye Qing up.
At the beginning, on the city wall of Yanmen Pass, the words of emotion to Dong Chao were not to appease Dong Chao, but because after seizing the sixteen states of Yanyun, Ye Qing was able to really stop, carry out real innovation, or rule the officials, so that he could really put the northern land on the right track, so that he could be less pressured by the constraints of the Lin'an court.
Everything is based on the successful capture of the sixteen states of Yanyun, if Wujing Road is the foundation of the Jin people, then the sixteen states of Yanyun are the undefeated reliance of Ye Qing on the court.
After this battle, Ye Qing needed to recuperate, so he naturally couldn't do without the Jin people's containment of the Mongols, so that he could still be a little more comfortable in strategy, so that he would not be overstretched in any key fortress.
"How can I believe what you say." In the hearts of the begging stone martyrs, the gods and slaves no longer had any good feelings for Ye Qing, and Ye Qing's every move seemed so hypocritical and disgusting in his eyes at this time.
He couldn't describe what kind of person Ye Qing was, but at this time, he knew that Ye Qing was a complete hypocrite, while forming an alliance with the Jin State, he was planning to attack Jin behind his back, and even chose to finish Yan Jing's internal and external difficulties.
"I let you and your army leave unharmed, can't I show my sincerity after going to find Yan Jing?" Ye Qing asked rhetorically.
The begging stone lie gods and slaves smiled disdainfully: "Lord Ye is inevitably too good at putting gold on his face, when people in this world talk about sincerity, I'm afraid you won't have anything to do with Lord Ye, right?" Lord Ye, are you a sincere person? ”
Ye Qing ignored the ridicule of the begging stone martyrs, lowered his head and laughed silently: "After persuading Yan Shoudao to abandon the city and surrender, I, Ye Qing, will immediately let you leave and go to find Yan Jing." If Wan Yan Jing loses to Temujin, how miserable his fate will be, you must be able to imagine it without me saying more. ”
"I need to think about ......." The begging stone martyr had to put away his disdain for Ye Qing and said seriously.
"You don't have time to think about it, if you delay any longer, it will be good for you to follow Wanyan Shoudao, but for the emperor of your Jin Kingdom, it will be a catastrophe!" Ye Qing interrupted the words of the begging stone lie gods and slaves, and said resolutely without giving him time to think about it at all.
"Then how can you guarantee that when I enter the city to persuade Yan Shoudao, you will not take the opportunity to attack the ......." The expressions of the begging stone martyrs were full of mockery, Ye Qing's insidiousness and cunning, or the character of this villain, were not enough to make him believe that he would not take advantage of this opportunity to attack the city.
"You don't have bargaining chips, it's your business whether to go or not, I'm just reminding you of the begging gods and slaves for Wan Yanjing's sake." Ye Qing also showed some impatience, raised his head and looked directly into the eyes of the begging stone lie god slaves, took a deep breath and regained his composure: "Even if you don't convince Wanyan Shoudao, I can still capture Yanjing City." Now that my 200,000 troops are guarding outside the city, no matter whether Wanyan Shoudao will abandon the city and surrender tomorrow, I will immediately attack the city, and Wanyan Shoudao will not be able to defend it at all, so it will only make Wanyan Jing's side, only a group of stupid wine bags and rice bags follow him to destroy the Jin country step by step. ”
The begging stone lie gods and slaves looked at Ye Qing quietly, and the atmosphere in the camp became very quiet, just when Yelu Yue felt a little depressed, the begging stone lie gods and slaves turned around and walked outside the camp tent.
As the begging stone martyrs left, Mo Xiaobao walked in with Zhong Silkworm, Heng Qiao, Sima Jian, and Yelu Yixue.
"There is no need to send someone to guard the begging stone martyr god slave anymore, he can do whatever he wants. As for the captured Jin soldiers, gather them all together early tomorrow morning ....... Ye Qing lowered his head and paced in the camp tent, pondered for a while and continued: "The war horses are also prepared for them, and the weapons are also prepared for them, tell Old Liu Tou and Zhao Qi'er that they don't need to pay attention to the Jin army when they pass by, and let them leave." ”
"Your Excellency......." Mo Xiaobao and Zhong Silkworm looked at each other, is this too good for the begging stone martyrs, but now they are friends and enemies after all.
"Once the begging stone lie gods and slaves decide to persuade Wan Yan Shoudao, then it means that in the hearts of the begging stone lie gods and slaves, the loss of Yanjing City and the sixteen states of Yanyun is not as important as Wan Yan Jing in his heart, so after driving Yan Jing in first aid, he will definitely not rely on life on the way, and will definitely want to rush to Wan Yan Jing's command in the shortest possible time." Ye Qing said confidently.
The loyalty of the begging stone lie gods and slaves to Wan Yan Jing is completely more loyal than that of other Jin courtiers, so after he stated the pros and cons to him, he believed that the begging stone lie gods and slaves could clearly distinguish the priorities, and would never suddenly turn around and attack him at this time.
"But...... Still, what if the begging gods and goddesses are still too late? If...... Wanyan Jing really lost to Temujin, and if he was captured by Temujin, what should you do? Ye Luyue suddenly asked.
