Don't look at Yelu Yanxi's extreme mediocrity and the anger of people and gods, but he is definitely the biggest problem for the Jurchens at present!

Why do you say that?

Just because, there is only one person in this world who can overthrow the great situation that the Jurchens have achieved now, and this person is the emperor of the Great Liao Empire, Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

Some people may think that the Jurchens also think too highly of Yelu Yanxi, just because he is a faint king, he is also worthy?

Those who would ask such questions must not understand the current situation in the Jinzhan area, nor do they understand the heritage of the Great Liao Empire.

Although the Jurchens now occupy a large part of the land of the Great Liao Empire and reorganize most of the military and civilians of the Great Liao Empire, there are still many people loyal to the Great Liao Empire.

The key is that the Great Liao Empire still has the foundation to turn around.

During the period of Liaoqiang, the territory stretched to the Sea of Japan in the east, the Altai Mountains in the west, the Erguna River and the Outer Xing'an Mountains in the north, and the Baigou River in the central part of Hebei in the south.

Now, most of the land in the east of the Great Liao Empire is occupied by the Jurchens, but the Great Liao Empire still has a vast land in the west.

If nothing else, at least the Dadan tribes are still nominally respecting the rule of the Great Liao Empire.

In addition, there are tens of thousands of troops and hundreds of thousands of war horses in Kedun City alone - historically, Yelu Dashi created the powerful Western Liao Empire because of these horses in Kedun City.

In addition, Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia Kingdom, married Yelu Yanxi's daughter Liao Cheng'an Princess Yelu Nanxian, and, a few years ago, Tong Guan almost destroyed the Western Xia, and later Yelu Yanxi came forward to reconcile and saved the fate of the Western Xia country, so if Yelu Yanxi borrowed troops from the Western Xia, the Western Xia would definitely help Yelu Yanxi - historically, the Western Xia had borrowed Yelu Yanxi's 30,000 troops.

Therefore, as long as Yelu Yanxi is willing to change his previous mediocrity, cowardice and hard work, he can definitely fight to the death with Dajin Guo, and even complete a gorgeous turnaround.

Moreover, the contradictions between Yelu Yanxi and the Jurchens are endless.

The Jurchens not only captured most of the Liao Kingdom, but also, after the Jurchens broke through Shangjing Mansion and Zhongjing Mansion, they also burned, killed and looted everything, and even dug up the tombs of the Khitan ancestors one by one, and set fire to all the Khitan palaces and temple statues.

It can be said that if there is a choice between Cai Ying and the Jurchens to hate more, Yelu Yanxi will definitely choose to hate the Jurchens more, because, in Yelu Yanxi's view, it was the Jurchen rebellion that caused all this to happen, so that he could not hunt with peace of mind and fled from north to south and from east to west like a lost dog.

And the Jurchens know this too well, after all, no one knows better than themselves what they have done.

Taking a step back, even if Yelu Yanxi can't turn the tables, even if he harasses Jin Zhan District from time to time, it will make the Jurchens very uncomfortable.

You must know that there are no natural dangers, the Great Wall and fortifications in the Jinzhan area, so they can only fight against Yelu Yanxi, and they can only defend against Yelu Yanxi's harassment from time to time.

This is definitely the last thing that the top leaders of the Jin State, who currently have few soldiers, are most unwilling to face.

Therefore, the high-level officials of the Jin State, especially the Jurchens, are eager to get rid of Yelu Yanxi as soon as possible, because as long as Yelu Yanxi is not caught for a day, the Jin occupation area will continue to rebel, and those Liao people and even Liao vassals will think about recovering the country.

……

After Wanyan Zonghan fled back to Yangchengluo with the remnants of the defeated army, Wanyan Xian also heard that Wanyan Zonghan fought with the Song army without authorization, and suffered such a big defeat, losing 14,500 men and horses, and beating Wanyan Zonghan with a hundred whips in public.

The current Jin State is actually not a country where the imperial power is supreme - the current Jin State is a collegial system of a small number of senior core officials to decide the country's major policies, and it is a political system that assists the emperor, and the emperor's power is actually controlled by various senior core officials, similar to collective leadership.

The supreme leader was undoubtedly Du Bo Jilie (i.e., the emperor) who was completely white.

In descending order:

Chen Ban Bo Jilie (this is the crown prince, that is, the heir after the emperor's death) finished Yan Wu begging.

The national theory is extremely strong (this position is equivalent to the state minister) has completed the reform.

Amam Bo Jilie (who is equivalent to the first assistant to the prime minister) did not lose his face.

Hao Bo Jilie (this is equivalent to the second assistant of the prime minister) is also slanted.

The above five people are the five members of the Standing Committee of the Central Committee of the Jin State and the top decision-makers of the Jin State.

Therefore, don't look at Yan Zonghan as the eldest son of Wan Yan Sagai, a famous general of the Jin State Sect and the Minister of State, but his identity cannot be compared with Wan Yan Xian at all.

Not only identity, but also looking at the past records, Wanyan Zonghan can't be compared with Wanyan Xianye, the first handsome commander of the Jin Dynasty.

Let's put it this way, in history, if Wanyan Xian did not die early, the Jin Kingdom would not have been so chaotic later, and Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonggan, and Wanyan Zongpan would not have fought so fiercely, and the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty might have let the Jin Kingdom perish long ago.

The point is that this is not a matter of identity and past merits, but a matter of right and wrong.

Wanyan Zonghan did not listen to Yan Xianye's orders twice, not only first sent troops to pursue Yelu Yanxi without authorization, but also left Yangcheng Luo without authorization and ran to Yuanyang Luo to pursue Yelu Yanxi, and then entered the pass without authorization and started a war with the Song army, the key is that the defeat was heavy losses.

You know, there aren't many Jin Jun.

Although Wanyan Aguta and other Jurchens merged with the mature Jurchens of Liaodong, and swallowed a lot of Liao's army like a snake, but even so, the Jin State actually had a total of more than 200,000 horses, and many of them were soldiers and horses, and the high-level officials of the Jin State were not completely at ease with them, like the men and horses led by Yelu Yujian, in this way, to Duoli, the reliable men and horses of the Jin State were only 150,000 or 60,000.

And 100,000 of these 1560,000 horses must stay in the original Liaodi cash occupation area to suppress the rebellion that cannot arise one after another.

In other words, the Jin army can only use 50,000 or 60,000 troops—not that there are really only 50,000 or 60,000, but only 50,000 or 60,000 descendant troops can be dispatched, and there are 20,000 or 30,000 non-descendant troops.

These less than 100,000 horses were led by Wanyan Xianye, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Chang, Wanyan Yinshuke, Wanyan Lou Mur, Yelu Yujian and others.

These people were divided into three small groups—a small group headed by Wanyan Xianye, a small group headed by Wanyan Zonghan, and a small group headed by Wanyan Zongwang.

And among these three small groups, Wanyan Zonghan's troops were the purest - among his troops, only five or six thousand were Liao troops, and the rest were Jurchens.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan broke 14,500 men and horses at once, which was definitely a pain to Dajin and made all the Jurchens feel painful.

Moreover, in addition to folding these fourteen or five thousand elite soldiers, Wanyan Zonghan also folded Wanyan Xiyin, a general who is both civil and military, and Wanyan Zongxiong, a disciple of the clan, and many other outstanding generals such as Wanyan Zongxiong, which made all the Jurchens feel even more painful.

In addition, as mentioned earlier, the Jin State is now a collective leadership system, in this case, don't say that Yan Zonghan is just the son of the prime minister, he is the emperor, and he will be punished if he makes a mistake - in history, the second emperor of the Jin Dynasty was beaten by Wanyan Zonghan and them after Wanyan Wu begged to buy.

In this case, don't say that Yan Xian just smoked Yan Zonghan, he just cut Yan Zonghan directly, and others won't say anything.

Wanyan Zonghan is also tough, he already had a gunshot wound, so he resisted Wanyan Xian with a hundred whips, and he didn't say a word.

After Yan Xian finished fighting, Wanyan Zonghan followed Wanyan Xian into the big tent with the support of Wanyan Zonggan and Wanyan Yinshuke.

Wanyan Zonghan said in a weak voice: "Ah Shi is very important to our Dajin's control, and he can't be imprisoned without capturing him, but the weapons of the Song people are too powerful, and they can't fight with them until they are researched to deal with them...... Baoju Yinshu Brother (Wanyan Yinshuke) should be an envoy. ”

After Yan Xian also listened, he rushed to Yan Zonghan and said: "Go and recuperate, your army, I'll help you bring it temporarily." ”

Wanyan Zonghan didn't say anything more.

After finishing Yan Zonggan and finishing Yan Yinshu, he had to send Yan Zonghan to recuperate.

But Wanyan Zonghan withdrew his hand from Wanyan Yinshuke's hand, and then said to Wanyan Yinshuke: "Brother Yinshu, you stay here and tell the marshal in detail how we lost this battle." ”

After speaking, Yan Zonghan motioned for Yan Zonggan to take him out.

After Yan Zonghan and Wan Yan Zonggan went out, Wan Yan Xian also looked at Wan Yan Yinshu Ke and said, "Tell me in detail about the whole process of this battle." ”

After finishing the silver technique, he responded: "No." ", and then told them about the battle with the Jinwu Army in its entirety.

Not only that, Wanyan Yinshu also told Wanyan Yan's analysis of Jin Wujun to Wanyan Xian.

After listening to everything, Wan Yan's face was also very heavy, and he said, "If it's really like what you said, then it's really troublesome." ”

Wan Yan Xian also pondered for a while, and then asked Yan Yinshuke: "Do you want to go to the Great Song Dynasty?" ”

Wanyan Yinshu nodded and said, "Yes, Marshal, in addition to wanting to use diplomatic means to bring Ah Shi here, I also want to inquire about the situation of the Great Song Dynasty." ”

Wan Yan Yinshu explained: "Now that Ah Shi has been caught by the Great Song Dynasty, the destruction of the Liao State is imminent, so it is inevitable that our Dajin and the Great Song will become neighbors, so we have to guard against the ambitions of the Great Song Dynasty, in case the Great Song Dynasty wants to follow the example of the Han and Tang Dynasties, then the Great Song Dynasty is the mortal enemy of our Dajin, we must know ourselves and the enemy, and then specify a feasible diplomatic strategy." ”

Wan Yan Xian also felt that Wan Yan Yinshu was very reasonable, he pondered for a while, and said: "Okay, I will write a letter to the emperor to ensure that you will be an envoy to the Great Song Dynasty......

……

Cai still waited for the Jin army for three days in the wild fox field, and did not see the Jin army rebel and take revenge.

Three days later, Cai still left the left army of Jinwu and the right army of Shenji in Yehuye to prevent the Jin army from moving south again, and then took the remaining army with the grain and grass (cattle and sheep) materials captured and captured by Yelu Yanxi and other Liao State to prepare to respond to the state first, then reorganize the army, and then sweep the entire cloud land.

When passing by Guihua Prefecture (Wuzhou of the Later Jin Dynasty obtained by the Liao State and changed to Naturalized Prefecture), Cai still suddenly moved, "Why don't you use Yelu Yanxi to try to see if you can pry open the gate of Wuzhou City?" thoughts.

In fact, this idea was not a temporary idea of Cai Ying, the reason why he went to such great lengths to capture Yelu Yanxi was to use Yelu Yanxi as a hostage to force the resistance forces in various parts of the cloud land, so that he would be less injured when his troops were overstretched.

It's just—

Recently, Cai has recruited a lot of recruits in Ying, Shuo, and Wei Prefectures, and now he has obtained a lot of war horse armor from Yuanyang Luo, so Cai is still ready to expand his strength first, and then use Yelu Yanxi as a hostage to sweep the entire cloud land.

As for the temporary intention, Cai still reported the idea of hitting three poles with dates and no dates, and tried casually to see if he could open the gate of Naturalization City.

Even, Cai still had already thought about it, if he couldn't cheat, he would attack casually, and then temporarily leave Guihua Prefecture and continue to return to Yingzhou.

But what Cai still never expected was that Yelu Yanxi and a group of royal men from the Liao State were pushed down the city, and someone was sent to shout a few casually, and the gate of Naturalization City was opened.

The gate of Naturalization City opened so happily that Cai was still a little confused: "What's going on?" Is there a fraud? ”

But Cai still thought about it: "It shouldn't be, a small naturalization city still wants to annihilate my 20,000 army?" ”

After thinking about it like this, Cai still sent the coarse and fine Niu Gao to take the people of his headquarters into the city to take over the Naturalization City.

As a result, after Niu Gao led his troops into the city, he took over the Naturalization City very smoothly - there was no wave in the middle.

In this way, Cai still led most of the people into the city.

After entering the city, Cai still couldn't believe that Naturalization City was occupied by himself so easily.

Cai still changed the naturalized state back to Wuzhou, and appointed Chen Kangbo as the governor of Wuzhou, taking full control of Wuzhou.

In this regard, Chen Kangbo, who did not do well in Ulzhou, was still grateful to Cai, and he secretly made up his mind that he must govern Wuzhou well.

Cai still absolutely believes in the potential of Chen Kangbo, a talented prime minister, and he believes that Chen Kangbo will definitely manage Wuzhou for himself.

But—

At present, Cai is still most concerned about Chen Kangbo's governance of Wuzhou.

At present, what Cai still wants to figure out most is, why did the people of Wuzhou surrender so easily?

Cai still ordered Chen Kangbo to investigate the matter.

After many inquiries, Chen Kangbo learned that there were four reasons why the people of Wuzhou surrendered so quickly:

1. Most of the land of Da Liao was occupied by Dajin, and the Liao lord Yelu Yanxi was arrested by Cai again, and the people of Wuzhou generally believed that the Liao State was doomed, and then there was no belonging, and they wanted to find a party to take refuge.

Second, the news of Cai Ying's defeat of the Jin army has been spread to Wuzhou, and it has been spread to Wuzhou, especially the myth of a swarm of bee rockets and a cannon without conscience, which makes the people of Wuzhou afraid of Cai still and a swarm of rockets and a cannon without conscience, afraid that Cai will still use a swarm of rockets and a cannon without conscience to open the city gate of Wuzhou.

3. Cai's way of doing things in Yunnan has already spread to Wuzhou, and everyone in Wuzhou knows that Cai Zhen's principle is that those who resist being attacked will all be raided and ask their families, and those who take the initiative to open the city and dedicate the city to make great contributions and do not work against Cai still have the opportunity to continue to be an official here in Cai Yi, and the most unfortunate can save the lives of the family.

Fourth, compared with the Cai people, the Liao people hated the Jurchens who started the war more, and they even hoped to borrow Cai Zhen's hand to avenge their Great Liao.

To sum up, the people of Wuzhou dedicated Wuzhou to Cai Yi.

After listening to Chen Kangbo's report, Cai still understood that it was because of a series of foreshadowing before him that the people of Wuzhou took the initiative to dedicate the city.

Wu Yong, who accompanied Cai Ying on the side and listened to Chen Kangbo's report, immediately offered Cai Ying a plan and said: "Master Hou, since everyone in Wuzhou can donate the city, maybe the people in Xinzhou can also donate the city, otherwise you will personally take people to Xinzhou to have a look?" ”
