Cai still chose to withdraw from Yanyun, and Li Gang, who was still Cai Shan's prime minister, was under a lot of pressure.

It is no exaggeration to say that there are many people who hate Li Gang, among whom those Liao people are the most, and even there are Song people among them, and there are not a few.

Come to think of it, that's normal, too.

Because the reason why Cai still chose to withdraw from Yanyun and send Yanyun's sixteen states to Zhao Song was that Li Gang and other Song ministers who were originally stubborn accounted for a large reason.

It can be said that Li Gang and other stubborn Song Chen are the culprits of this matter.

The point is, not only did they not get punished, but they are still in high positions.

How can this not make many people envious, jealous and hateful, even if Cai still lets the people of the Propaganda Department publicize it to the outside world, all of this is because of respect for the monarch and the people.

It is because Li Gang respects the monarch and the people that Cai still values them so much.

It was because it was right to respect the monarch and the people, so he Cai still withdrew from Yanyun and returned the sixteen states of Yanyun to Zhao Song, but they were the same as Zhao Ji's kindness.

No way.

The ass decides the head.

Now, Cai is still a king, and he naturally has to preach the doctrine of respecting the king, otherwise, the people under him are also like him, making the king's rebellion, can his dragon chair sit firmly?

Of course, it is also because the matter has come to this point, so it is natural to try to use it for the better.

And yet—

Even if Cai still gave a reason, it still couldn't eliminate everyone's hatred for Li Gang and other stubborn Song Chen.

You must know that if Cai still does not choose to withdraw from Yanyun and give Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to Zhao Song, and chooses to ascend the throne as emperor, then these people are not the current mourning dogs, but the founding fathers, and they may become famous ministers in history in the future, but now, everything about them has become unknown.

To tell the truth, if Cai still left Yue Fei and the 50,000 army in Yanjing, Cai Zhen, a small regime that had just been born not long ago, and even said that it had not been fully born, would have the possibility of a coup.

Li Gang and others know that these people, who respect the monarch and the people, are ashamed of Cai Yi and their regime.

Therefore, Li Gang and others tried their best to help Cai still stabilize Cai Ying's regime and give Cai still enough time to appease the people.

It's okay -

Cai was still only away for more than ten days, and the good news came back - he had conquered the capital of Goryeo, Kaegyeong.

Then, the good news came back every day.

The latest news came back that Liu Qi and Han Se-chung were leading a large army to sweep through seven provinces, including Namyeong, Goryeo Tokyo, Gangwon-do, Gyeongsangbuk-do, Gyeongsangnam-do, Chungcheongbuk-do, Chungcheongnam-do, Jeollabuk-do, and Jeollanam-do, and they were expected to take all of southern Goryeo within two months.

The southern region of Goryeo is no less large than the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

The key is that after they take the southern region of Goryeo, they can move north to occupy the whole of Goryeo, and at that time, they can attack Tokyo of the former Liao State and even Zhongjing and Shangjing of the former Liao State, and maybe they will be able to fight back one day.

Moreover, Cai is still called the king of Liaodong (he has not officially ascended the throne), and their name as the founding father has not been lost.

In this way, the resentment of those who are full of complaints gradually subsides.

Li Gang and the others also breathed a sigh of relief, they finally didn't have to suffer from their conscience anymore.

After that, Li Gang and the others cooperated with the Propaganda Department to take the opportunity to hype up: the earth is dead, people are alive, as long as they unswervingly follow the invincible and invincible king of Liaodong, who is good at governing the world, they will have a good life anywhere.

At the same time, some gossip also disappeared:

The king of Liaodong has pacified Goryeo, tried the ownership of Goryeo, and nationalized all the land in Goryeo, as long as he goes to Goryeo, everyone can get rich land, and he will no longer have to worry about having no food.

All Goryeo men died in battle, and there were women everywhere, as long as they went to Goryeo, they would not worry about marrying a daughter-in-law.

What Goryeo is full of gold and silver, as long as the cloud clouds Goryeo, there is no worry about running out of money to spend.

What Liaodong king took away the accumulation of more than 200 years of Goryeo, and the wealth far exceeded that of the Great Song, Dajin, and Western Xia, and went to Goryeo to accept the rule of the Liaodong king, and soon he would be able to live a good life.

What Goryeo is not neighboring to a strong country, after going there, there will be no more wars.

And so on and so forth......

There is no need to guess, you also know that these so-called gossip are all masterpieces of the Propaganda Department.

When these news were completely fermented, the head of the household department began to issue immigration notices in all areas of Yanyun, and the propaganda offensive of the Propaganda Department was further launched, and at the same time, the Cai government announced that regardless of men, women, and children, as long as they were willing to immigrate to Goryeo, they would be given two stone of grain, fifty military tickets, and tax exemption for three years.

Seeing that Cai is still in the government, and now it can be said that it can be said that the government of Liaodong has finally begun to emigrate, Cai You, Cai Xuan, and Ma Kuo, who have never left Yanjing, breathed a long sigh of relief!

Actually-

For a long time, Zhao Song has been paying close attention to Yan Yun's changes, and even made a series of temptations, and also made a lot of small moves.

For example, Zhao Song asked craftsmen, boatmen, and Tai students to get on the ship, and then gathered the families of Yanyun people to Bianliang City, Tokyo, and sent Cai You, Cai Xuan, and Ma Kuo to discuss with Yanyun to see if they could first deliver the four cloud land passes of Yanmen Pass, Chenjiagu, Flying Fox, and Lingqiu?

After Li Gang sent someone to ask Cai for instructions, he promised to pass Chen Jiagu and Yanmen to Zhao Song first.

Three days later, Wu Jue, who had received Cai Ying's order, asked the Jinwu army at Chenjiagu and Yanmen Pass to withdraw back, and then sent someone to inform the Song army that had been waiting outside the pass early to take over.

Yanmen Pass and Chenjiagu are the absolute gateways of the clouds, especially the former, which is known as "the first pass in China", and the saying that "there are nine stops in the world, and Yanmen is the head".

Cai was still able to return these two dangers to Zhao Song, which is enough to show that Cai still did not deceive Zhao Song.

This incident gave Zhao Song Junchen great encouragement.

In this case, Zhao Song hurriedly sent the craftsmen, shipwrights, and Tai students to Cai Ying, and also began to prepare to send the family members of Yanyun to Yanyun.

When the craftsmen, shipwrights, and Tai students arrived at Yanyun (in fact, they did not disembark at the port of Jizhou, but were sent directly to Goryeo), Cai You, Cai Qian, and Ma Kuo discussed with Li Gang to see if they could give Zhao Song Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Ulzhou, the three states closest to Zhao Song, first.

At the same time, Cai You went around to let Yanyun's magnates say good things to Cai Ying, and let Cai still agree to give Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Ulzhou to Zhao Song first-at this time, Cai You and they didn't know that Cai was still no longer in Yanyun.

This kind of thing, how dare Li Gang call the shots, he still ordered someone to go to Goryeo Kaijing to ask Cai for instructions.

This time, Cai still didn't agree, he only promised to return the two gateways of Ulzhou to Zhao Song first, Flying Fox and Lingqiu, and told Zhao Song that he was not unwilling to pay it back, but was going to take away the people who were willing to go with him first, and then gradually return the states of Yundi to Zhao Song, and then return Yandi to Zhao Song.

Soon after this incident, Cai You, Cai Xuan, and Ma Kuo suddenly learned that Cai was still not in Yanyun, but went to attack Goryeo, and defeated half of Goryeo, and had already established himself, called "King of Liaodong".

This news made Cai You, Cai Xuan, and Ma Kuo stunned!

They didn't dare to slack off, and hurriedly sent the news back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

After Zhao Ji Junchen heard about this, he was also stunned.

In the end, it was Wang Hao who reacted the fastest, and he said to Zhao Song excitedly: "Congratulations, Your Majesty!" Congratulations, Your Majesty! Yan Yun is really Your Majesty! ”

At this time, Zhao Ji also reacted, if Cai still didn't want to withdraw from Yanyun, he would never risk attacking Goryeo in such a situation where he was surrounded by enemies on three sides, because this was completely looking for death.

Thinking about this, Zhao Ji said: "Cai is still sending a large army to attack Goryeo, Yanyun must be empty, how about we take this opportunity to send troops to capture Yanyun?" ”

"No!"

"Your Majesty think twice!"

"This must not be done!"

"Your Majesty must not take this dead end!"

"Your Majesty, don't spoil the plan to recover Yanyun!"

“……”

Zhao Jizhen didn't expect that his casual remark would attract a large number of opposition.

I am afraid that Zhao Ji will be stupid and spoil the current good situation.

Li Bangyan said: "Your Majesty, the defeat of Baigou and the defeat of Liangxiang have greatly damaged the vitality of our Great Song Dynasty, and we must not fight anymore." ”

Zheng Juzhong trembled and said: "Our army of the Great Song Dynasty was defeated by the Khitan army, the Khitan army was defeated by the Jurchen army, the Jurchen army was defeated by Cai Ying's army, how could the army of the Great Song Dynasty defeat Cai Zhen's army?" ”

Bai Shizhong continued: "Cai still cares about the feelings of the same clan, and does not lead a strong army to the south, but leads a strong army to the east, which is already the luck of the Great Song Dynasty, why did the Great Song Dynasty bother to provoke Cai Ying?" If Cai still did not continue to attack Goryeo, but returned to Yanjing, and then led a strong army south, why did the Great Song Dynasty refuse? ”

Wang Anzhong said: "The minister got the exact news, although Cai still took away a lot of people, but Yanyun still has an army of at least 150,000, and Yanjing alone has an army of 50,000, and it is controlled by the fierce general Yue Fei. ”

Even Wang Huang, who usually follows Zhao Ji, said euphemistically: "Your Majesty, war serves politics, what is our Great Song Dynasty attacking Yanyun?" Yanyun? Now, Guan Cai still wants to return Yanyun to our Great Song Dynasty, why should our Great Song Dynasty draw snakes? ”

At this time, Zhao Ji also came back to his senses, at this time, starting a war with Cai is still good, for the Great Song Dynasty, it is definitely harmful and not beneficial.

can let Zhao Ji swallow back the words he said, and Zhao Ji felt that it was too embarrassing.

Suddenly!

Zhao Ji had an idea, and then said: "I don't know what you said, but didn't the Jurchen send people to urge us to march into the Great Song Dynasty, and the party was also repeatedly urging us to enter the Great Song Dynasty, so I asked this question." ”

Zheng Juzhong said excitedly: "The Jurchens and the party want to do whatever they want, the Great Song Dynasty and Cai are still both defeated, so that they can enjoy the benefits of the fisherman, how can our Great Song Dynasty let this tiger and wolf get their wish?" ”

Li Bangyan also said: "Yes, originally, after the defeat of Baigou and Liangxiang, our Great Song Dynasty should give up Yanyun, recuperate, and train soldiers and horses, and now since Yanyun can be recovered without any price, when recuperating and training soldiers and horses, while waiting for Yanyun to return, we must no longer talk about military affairs, as for the Jurchens and Khitans, they will be our neighbors of the Great Song Dynasty, and they must not be listened to and believed, and they should be cautious and strictly guarded." ”

This time, even Wang Huang, who has always been at odds with Li Bangyan, did not oppose Li Bangyan's proposition, he said: "What Zheng Shumi and Li Shaozai said is reasonable, the Jurchen and party soldiers are in Yanyun without fighting, and they only blindly urge our Great Song Dynasty to start a war, and their hearts can be punished." ”

After a pause, Wang Hao said again: "Now, it is a foregone conclusion that Cai is still withdrawing from Yanyun and returning the sixteen states of Yanyun to our Great Song Dynasty, and Cai still calls himself the "King of Liaodong", which means Goryeo and Jurchen, which are really our natural allies of the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Wang Hao almost said: "Cai still hasn't given Yanyun to our Great Song yet, offended him, if he changes his mind and gives Yanyun to Liao or Western Xia, then whether it is Liao or Western Xia, he will definitely stop crusading against Cai Zhen, maybe he will join forces with Cai Zhen to destroy the Great Song Dynasty, then the Great Song Dynasty will be stupid." ”

Zhao Ji understood Wang Hao's potential meaning.

In fact, Zhao Ji also clearly understands this.

Therefore, Zhao Ji was speechless.

Now, Zhao Ji only has one thing to figure out, that is, why are these ministers who are all subservient to his will on weekdays, whether they are the main battle or the main peace, and now they are all united to Cai Yi's side?

What Zhao Ji didn't know was that his ministers were not on Cai Ying's side, but were thinking about him.

Among Zhao Ji's ministers, no, it should be said that in everyone's opinion, Zhao Ji picked up a big pie - he didn't pay anything, only fought two big defeats, and won the sixteen states of Yanyun, this luck is simply against the sky, and the protagonist is nothing more than that, in this case, as long as Zhao Ji doesn't do stupid things, he can definitely become the biggest winner in the Yanyun game process by lying down.

And Cai Ying, because he didn't want to fight in the same room, made such a big sacrifice, whether it was among the officials of the Great Song Dynasty or among the people of the Great Song Dynasty, he gained an excellent reputation, and even some folk artists made up Cai Zhen's deeds into jokes and sang them everywhere.

Now, Cai is no longer the previous thief, but a real national hero with high prestige in the Great Song Dynasty.

Li Bangyan said again: "Your Majesty and Cai still have an extraordinary relationship, so you should make good use of it...... Your Majesty, you can decree that Cai is still the king of Liaodong. First, to confirm Cai Zhen's identity, so that he has always been an enemy of the Jurchens, in order to relieve the pressure of our Great Song Dynasty from the Jurchens. Second, you can also befriend Cai Ying, and if there is friction between the Great Song Dynasty and the Jurchens and the party in the future, you can ask Cai Ying to come to support the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Li Bangyan's meaning can be understood by anyone, it is nothing more than that: Cai still accepted your Zhao Ji's three daughters Zhao Mijin, Zhao Fujin, and Zhao Fujin, and you Zhao Ji is Cai Ji's father-in-law. Before the dismantling, the relationship between you Zhao Ji and Cai was also good. Yes, Cai still betrayed you. But now Cai has still withdrawn from Yanyun and given you the sixteen states of Yanyun. Look, is there a way to repair the relationship between you and Cai Ying? In this way, in the future, we will have a strong helper, right?

Actually-

What Li Bangyan said is indeed a golden and jade good word.

But the problem is that Cai still accepts not only Zhao Mijin, Zhao Fujin, and Zhao Fujin, but also Zhao Ji's concubine Li Shishi, who can be regarded as wearing a big green hat for Zhao Ji.

How can Zhao Ji, the emperor, endure it?

If he Zhao Ji can even endure this, how will the world think of him as an emperor? Don't laugh at him?

Therefore, Zhao Ji didn't answer Li Bangyan's words at all, and secretly made up his mind: "When the Great Song Dynasty recovers, I will not only send troops to attack Taiwan, but also unite the Jurchens and Goryeo to destroy Cai Yi!" ”

What Li Bangyan said is actually a mainstream value that has been circulating in Zhao and Song recently, and everyone thinks that the Great Song Dynasty should use Zhao Mijin, Zhao Fujin, and Zhao Fujin to befriend Cai Ying, first, this can ensure the delivery of Yanyun, and second, this can lead Cai to still be the strong reinforcement of the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, everyone also knows that Cai still stole Master Li, put a bright green hat on Zhao Ji, and betrayed Zhao Ji, so that Zhao Ji turned into a war with Cai Ji regardless of his previous suspicions, which was a little difficult for Zhao Ji.

But everyone thinks that Zhao Ji is not an ordinary person, he is an emperor and a hero, and he should be able to endure what others can't.

It is precisely because of this that Li Bangyan dared to put forward this suggestion in public.

I don't want to, Zhao Ji disappointed everyone, he is not such an emperor and such a hero at all.

Seeing that Zhao Ji's face had sunk, Wang Hao came out and said: "Iron still needs to be hard, our Great Song Dynasty can't always think about relying on others, and we also need to be self-reliant." ”

Speaking of this, Wang Hao bowed to Zhao Ji and said: "Your Majesty, the minister suggests that we train two new armies in the Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, the Great Song Dynasty will not be able to protect itself, especially after recovering Yanyun." ”

Wang Hao's words touched Zhao Ji's heart.

Zhao Ji really hopes for the performance of Tong Guan and the army of the Great Song Dynasty going north this time!

Zhao Ji sometimes even wondered: "If Cai still doesn't choose to withdraw from Yanyun and return the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, but chooses to lead the army of a hundred battles to the south, will I be the king of the fallen country?" ”

Thinking of this possibility, Zhao Ji shuddered!

Therefore, listening to Wang Hao's proposal to train two new armies, Zhao Ji immediately agreed: "Aiqing's advice is really a good policy for rejuvenating the country......
