The cloud sideburns and flowers are shaking, and the hibiscus tent is warm for the spring night.

The spring night is bitter and short, and the day is high, and the king does not rise early from then on.

Cai still hopes to live the kind of arrogant and lascivious life that Tang Xuanzong lived.

But Cai still knows better than anyone that if he is really like Tang Xuanzong, then the small dynasty he created will definitely follow in the footsteps of the Tang Dynasty at the end of Tang Xuanzong.

What's more, Tang Xuanzong's later years were very desolate, he was alone, hanging from each other, so he was not miserable, and finally died of depression and happiness, Cai still didn't want his old age to be as miserable as Tang Xuanzong.

Therefore, when it is time to relax, Cai will definitely relax, but when it is time to do the right thing, Cai will never slack off.

Just like now.

Before the autumn harvest, when Cai was still fine, he quickly digested the Goryeo women, trying not to let there be a woman in his harem that he had not touched.

When the autumn came, Cai still ordered people to hurry up and seize the harvest, and at the same time began to make the deployment of troops.

Yes.

Cai still has been lying to Wang Kai and Li Ziqian, and has been lying to those Goryeo people who want to restore the country, in fact, from beginning to end, Cai still never thought that as long as half of Goryeo, he was bound to recover the whole of Goryeo.

Before that, Cai still didn't make a move, and that was only because Cai was still not ready, not because Wang Kai and Li Ziqian's childish little tricks made him waver.

Now, the countdown to the recovery of the complete Goryeo begins......

……

After learning that Cai still withdrew from Yanyun and gave the sixteen states of Yanyun to Zhao Song, Yelu Yanxi was furious!

Yelu Yanxi thought that Cai was still deceiving him.

You must know that Cai still promised to lend him troops, so he gave the women of Liao and the sixteen states of Yanyun to Cai Ying.

Now, Cai still patted his ass and withdrew from Yanyun, and also gave Yanyun's sixteen states to Zhao Song, so what about Cai's promise to him Yelu Yanxi? Can it still be cashed out?

In addition, he experienced being kicked out of Western Xia by Li Qianshun.

Yelu Yanxi finally had an epiphany, he felt that outsiders were always unreliable, and he had to be self-reliant.

As a result, Yelu Yanxi left Jiashan and went north to Tatar, hoping to borrow the Tatars to make a comeback.

After Wanyan Aguta learned of this, he ordered Wanyan Hulu and Wanyan Zongwang to lead an army to hunt down Yelu Yanxi.

After Wanyan Hulu and Wanyan Zongwang received the order, they led tens of thousands of gold army iron cavalry, surrounded and blocked for several months, and finally caught up with Yelu Yanxi's baggage in Qingzuka.

Yelu Yanxi's son Yelu Ding, King of Qin, Yelu Ning, King Xu, etc., as well as more than 10,000 baggage vehicles, were all captured by the Jin army, and only Yelu Yali, the king of Liang, escaped under the protection of Taibao Temoge.

At that time, Yelu Yanxi was not among the baggage troops, so he was spared.

When Yelu Yanxi heard this, he was very angry and hurriedly gathered 5,000 soldiers and horses and rushed to Baishuiluo to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

Wanyan Zongwang sent only 1,000 elite cavalry to defeat the Liao army in one fell swoop, and captured Yelu Yanxi's son, King Xi Nilie of Zhao, and Yelu Yanxi himself escaped only a hundred paces.

Wanyan Aguta was very happy about the successive victories of the Jin Army, and then asked the relevant departments to seriously record the combat exploits of the generals and commanders, and to reward them according to their merits.

At this time, Wanyan Aguta's health was already very poor, but he was still trying to persuade the leaders of the various clans of the Jin State to send troops to help Goryeo destroy Liaodong without being paid, and eradicate their biggest threat to Dajin, Cai Yi.

It's a pity that this time Wanyan Agu hit was met with great resistance.

But—

This is not all because, to help Goryeo restore the country, they only have dead and wounded, and nothing good.

There are other reasons for this.

Zhang Jue is a native of Yifeng, Pingzhou, and was admitted to the Jinshi of the Liao State when he was young, and was later awarded the deputy envoy of the Liaoxing Army - the Liaoxing Army is Pingzhou Road.

coincided with the great rebellion of the Liao State, the militia of Pingzhou killed the envoy of the state festival, Zhang Jue was appeased, and the people of the state elected him to take charge of Pingzhou.

After Yeluchun's death, Zhang Jue felt that the Khitan was going to die, so he began to secretly recruit troops, recruit heroes, gather grain and grass, and strengthen military strength.

Soon after, Zhang Jue had an army of 50,000 and ordered the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying.

At the same time, Zhang Jue recruited talented scholars to participate in the discussion, secretly preparing for the hegemony.

When Xiao Puxian was in power, she sent the crown prince Shaobao to establish Aichi Heizhou.

After Shi Liai arrived, Zhang Jue respected him on the surface, but in fact rejected him everywhere.

Shi Liai was very shrewd, and when he noticed that Zhang Jue had different ambitions, he said that he couldn't get sick, and let Zhang Jue take charge of the big and small affairs of Pingzhou.

After Cai still conquered Yanjing, he was going to send troops to pacify the three states of Dingping, Luan, and Ying.

But before Cai still could make a move, Wanyan Aguda united with the Great Song Dynasty, Western Xia, and Goryeo to crusade against Cai Ying.

As a last resort, Cai still withdrew from the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so he didn't care about Zhang Jue.

After the people of Liaodong withdrew, according to the Song-Jin covenant, the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying should be owned by the Jin state.

The Jin State has always attached great importance to the strategic position of the Ping, Luan, and Ying areas, and after the people of Liaodong withdrew, Wanyan Zonghan prepared to send troops to capture Pingzhou.

Kang Gongbi, who didn't choose to go to Goryeo with Cai and chose to go north to join the Jin Kingdom, suggested to Yan Zonghan: "Zhang Jue is arrogant and scheming, although there are tens of thousands of soldiers, but they are all villagers, they are not equipped with armor, and they are not given food, what can they do?" It should be shown without doubt, and then slowly draw it, it is not too late. ”

Wanyan Zonghan was moved by Kang Gongbi's words, and then reported the matter to Wanyan Aguta.

So, Wanyan Aguta sent someone to Pingzhou, summoned Shi Liai to Dajin, and appointed Zhang Jue as the envoy of the Linhai Festival, and still knew Pingzhou all.

Shi Liai did not go to the Jin country, but sent someone to send a letter to Wanyan Agu, in which he said: "The people are stupid, or they are obedient, and they are willing to be forgiving to comfort the opposite." ”

Then, Shi Liai left Pingzhou and returned to his hometown Zhuozhou to live in seclusion.

Later, Wanyan Zonghan was still a little uneasy about Pingzhou, so he asked Kang Gongbi: "I want to send 3,000 cavalry, go down to Pingzhou first, and capture Zhang Jue, what do you think?" ”

Kang Gongbi said: "If you send troops to arrest Zhang Jue at this time, won't this force him to rebel?" If he jumps over the wall and votes for Song Guo again, it will be very detrimental to our Dajin. ”

Kang Gongbi said: "I have been an official in Pingzhou in the past, and I am familiar with the situation there, please allow me to go alone to investigate what Zhang Jue is planning, and then make a decision, how about it?" ”

After Yan Zonghan agreed, he awarded Kang Gongbi a gold medal and ordered him to go back quickly.

Kang Gongbi came to Pingzhou and conveyed the meaning of the golden people to Zhang Jue.

Zhang Jue hurriedly said: "There are eight roads in Liao, seven of which have died, and only one Pingzhou Road is left, how dare you have any hope?" The reason why the village soldiers under my command have not yet been disarmed and returned to the field is mainly to defend against Xiao Gan's invasion. Today, the Jin army does not come to the remnants of the people, this is a fortunate thing, this is all the power of Kang Gong. ”

Subsequently, Zhang Jue gave Kang Gongbi a large sum of money and asked him to speak kindly in front of the Jin people.

When Kang Gongbi returned to the barracks, he reported to Wanyan Zonghan: "Zhang Jue is loyal and reliable, so there is no need to doubt it. ”

Wanyan Zonghan believed Kang Gongbi's words, did not send troops to Pingzhou, and reported the matter to Wanyan Aguta.

Wanyan Aguda then ordered to change Pingzhou to Jinguo Nanjing, and promoted Zhang Jue to Tongzhongshu Menxia Pingzhangshi and concurrently served as Nanjing.

The Jin army encircled and suppressed the remnants of Yelu Yanxi, and it went well.

However, the transfer of Yanjing Hao craftsmen from Songting Pass to the interior of Jin was slow - the Yan people were generally resistant to moving to the bitter cold Jin country, so they did not move forward.

Someone suggested to Wanyan Aguta: "This kind of thing, civilian officials do better than soldiers, and the common people may be more obedient, so we can send the old ministers of the Liao State back and let them assist our army in migrating the people." ”

Wanyan Aguda then sent Kang Gongbi, the governor of the government, and other former ministers of the former Liao State to go back, and organized and led the rich craftsmen of Yanjing from Pingzhou to the Jin Kingdom to go to Beijing.

Soon, Yan Min walked to the territory of Pingzhou, and a Yan Min quietly left the northbound team, ran to Pingzhou City, and cried to Zhang Jue: "Kang Gongbi and other high-ranking officials of the Liao State did not want to find a way to hold Yanjing, but they surrendered in Kaicheng, so that our people suffered from this migration and displacement. Now, Xianggong, you control the territory of Pingzhou, you have a strong army in your hands, and you are loyal to the Liao State, you will definitely be able to find a way to return us to our homeland. Can you bear to watch a large number of people in Yanjing being forced by the Jurchens to go to the desolate Mobei? ”

Listening to Yan Min's cry, Zhang Jue felt his blood boiling, and he immediately gathered a group of officials and generals under him to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Everyone babbled:

"Recently, I heard that Your Majesty has visited several Tatar tribes, and the army has recovered, and is now advancing to the south of the pine desert."

"Why are the Jin people in a hurry to evacuate Yanmin from Yanjing, it is because of Your Majesty, they are afraid that Your Majesty will ascend to the heights, and all the Yan people will go to submit to Your Majesty."

"If the Duke of Ming can hold high the banner of King Qin at this time, sing the righteousness of the world, and welcome His Majesty, then the revival of the Liao Kingdom is just around the corner."

"At present, the top priority is to send people to hold Kang Gongbi and others accountable for the crime of rebellion, behead them, and then let the Yan people return to the country, and the Great Song Dynasty will definitely accept the Yan people, so that Pingzhou will become a feudal town."

"If the Jin army comes to attack Pingzhou in the future, we will use the army of Pingzhou internally and the aid of the Great Song Dynasty outside, so why be afraid!"

“……”

After listening to everyone's opinions, Zhang Jue pondered for a while and said, "This important matter should not be decided hastily. ”

So, after some "sophisticated" planning, Zhang Jue secretly sent the general Zhang Qian to lead 500 horses to arrest Kang Gongbi and other Liao officials.

Three days later, Zhang Qian caught up with Kang Gongbi and others.

At that time, Kang Gongbi and others were riding on horses, marching northeast along the road with many Yan people.

After Zhang Qian and the others caught up with Kang Gongbi and his party, they conveyed Zhang Jue's order to Kang Gongbi and his party - Zhang Jue ordered them to immediately rush to the west bank of the Luan River to wait for the dispatch.

For Zhang Jue's order, Kang Gongbi refused to carry it out, he stepped forward and said sharply: "We are on the order of Emperor Dajin to lead Yanmin to the Jin Kingdom, what authority does Zhang Jue have to order us to stay in Nanjing?" We're not going! ”

Zhang Qian glanced at Kang Gongbi, and then waved behind him.

Seeing this, the soldiers behind Zhang Qian immediately rushed up to surround Kang Gongbi.

Kang Gongbi was furious and scolded Zhang Jue, Zhang Qian and others for being bold!

Zhang Qian didn't bother to talk nonsense with Kang Gongbi, and waved his hand directly.

Immediately, the people who surrounded Kang Gongbi and others rushed up and dragged Kang Gongbi off the horse, and then tied up Kang Gongbi.

Soon, other Liao officials also followed in the footsteps of Kang Gongbi.

After that, Zhang Qian escorted Kang Gongbi and others to Pingzhou.

When the group followed Zhang Qian to a chestnut tree forest on the west bank of the Luan River, it was nearly evening.

At this time, Kang Gongbi finally sensed that the situation was not good, so he said to Zhang Qian: "Why did you bring us here?" What is this place? ”

Zhang Qian said perfunctorily: "Zhang Liushou said that he was coming here to greet you. ”

In a few moments, a dozen fast horses galloped in from the south.

Among these people, the leader is a middle-aged man with a black face.

When he came closer, the man-faced man reined in his horse's head and asked rudely, "Who is Kang Gongbi?" ”

Kang Gongbi said: "The old man is here. ”

The black-faced man jumped off the horse and walked over, grabbed Kang Gongbi's hair and looked at it.

After verifying his identity, the black-faced man said coldly: "On the order of Zhang Liushou, the traitor Kang Gongbi and others will correct the law on the spot!" ”

The black-faced man said again: "Lord Kang, there is a debtor who has been wronged, Your Royal Highness, please tell the king of Hades, the person who wants to kill you is not me, but the Liao people who are displaced because of you." ”

When Kang Gongbi heard this, he came back to his senses and said loudly: "What kind of crime are we waiting for, Zhang Liushou wants to kill us?" ”

Other Liao officials also shouted and begged for mercy.

At this time, a person who looked like a councillor came over and said to Kang Gongbi and the others: "Now, I announce to you that you have committed twelve major crimes: 1. You know that Your Majesty is in exile from Jiashan, but you do not go to greet you. Second, you persuaded the emperor's uncle Yan Wang to ascend the throne and usurp the title. 3. You rebelled and surrendered His Majesty to the title of King of Xiangyin. Fourth, Your Majesty once sent an envoy to Yanjing to make contact, but you actually killed the envoy. Fifth, you have made Yelu, the king of Qin, the emperor, the emperor, but not restored to the throne of Your Majesty. Sixth, you do not seek to defend Yanjing, but open the city to worship Cai Yi. Seventh, you are willing to pay tribute to Cai regardless of righteousness. 8. You robbed the daughter of the Great Liao royal family in Yanjing and gave it to Cai Ying, so that the Great Liao was disgraced. 9. What you have done has caused the people of Yanshan to migrate and become unemployed. 10. After Cai still withdrew from Yanjing, you did not follow Your Majesty, but went north to seek refuge in the Jurchens. 11. You instigated the Jurchens to attack Pingzhou. Twelve, you helped the Jurchens to force the Liao people to move north. These 12 counts are true, and any one of them can be decided on a decisive basis. ”

Kang Gongbi listened to it and said to Zhang Qian: "I want to see Zhang Jue, it was I who prevented the Jin army from attacking Pingzhou, Zhang Jue knew about it, and I saved his life!" ”

Zhang Qian smiled and said, "Five hundred taels of gold, ten thousand taels of silver, have you used them all?" When I left Pingzhou, Zhang Liushou once said to me, "If Kang Gongbi says that he wants to see me, you ask him like this." You really want to see him. ”

Kang Gongbi bowed his head and was silent.

Subsequently, Kang Gongbi and other traitors of the Liao State were hanged in a forest of chestnut trees on the bank of the Luan River.

Soon, Zhang Jue sent people to post a list along the road to announce: All Yan people can not go to Jinguo, and they can all go home to live and work in peace and contentment.

When the Yan people heard the news, they rushed to tell each other, and they were elated and returned to their hometowns one after another.

Zhang Jue also asked people to paint a portrait of Yelu Yanxi, hanging it in the lobby, and paying homage morning and evening.

The Liao State seems to have a resurgence trend.

Zhang Jue's betrayal of Jin Fuliao was soon known to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji quickly issued a royal pen to Zhan Du and instructed Zhan Du:

1. Zhang Jue's rebellion against Jin is obvious;

2. Zhang Jue still uses the name of the Liao State and does not belong to the performance of the Great Song Dynasty;

3. Zhang Jue is contacting Han Qingmin and others to fight against Jin;

Fourth, in order to prevent Zhang Jue from becoming a border trouble, you can secretly contact him to comfort him, but it must be kept secret and not be known by the Jin people;

Fifth, we must use Bian Zhuang's strategy to sit and watch the changes;

Sixth, don't fall out with Jin Ren for the sake of Zhang Jue.

After receiving Zhao Ji's instructions, Zhan Du immediately sent someone to find Zhang Jue's in-law Wang Yi, and then asked Wang Yi to go to Pingzhou to send a message to Zhang Jue to show friendship.

Zhang Jue also reacted quickly, and he immediately sent Zhang Xingyou to Yanjing to contact Zhan Du and find out the true intentions of the Song Dynasty.

Da Song and Zhang Jue slowly got together.

And this matter was soon learned by the Jin people who had been inquiring about Yan Yun's movements and Zhang Jue's movements.

The Jin people were furious and prepared to send troops to attack Pingzhou.

At this time, Cai was still preparing to recover the northern region of Goryeo, and Xiao Gan also took advantage of the Jin people to fight the fires everywhere......
