The reason why Tong Guan was able to be reinstated was because Zhao Ji hoped that Tong Guan could handle the Jin people's invasion of Yundi Kyushu.

Zhao Ji's bottom line to Tong Guan was that the Great Song Dynasty could give up Yundi Kyushu, as long as the Jin people did not continue to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south.

And the bargaining chip that Zhao Ji prepared for Tong Guan was to immediately pay them the New Year's coins that the Great Song promised to give to the Jin people, including the grain that their Great Song had promised to lend to the Jin people.

Everyone knows that when the Jin people have invaded the Great Song Dynasty and taken away the Yundi Kyushu of the Great Song Dynasty, it is extremely weak to choose to use money and grain to buy peace.

However, some Song people (especially those in power in the Great Song Dynasty) felt that at this moment of internal and external troubles, the Great Song Dynasty could not withstand the war of the Jin State no matter what, so they could give up the inconsequential and even burdensome Yundi Kyushu.

Yes.

In the eyes of many Song people, Yundi Kyushu needed to withstand the siege of the Western Xia, Tatar tribes, and Jin people, and belonged to a land of four wars.

Moreover, the officials, troops, and people of Yundi Kyushu still need the Great Song Dynasty court to provide for them.

The key is that the Great Song Dynasty has a more suitable Hedong region as a border - the Hedong region is not like the Hebei region, there is no danger to defend, and it must rely on Yandi for defense, and the Hedong region, the mountains and rivers are inside and outside, the passes are dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and it fully has any conditions for the border, therefore, in the eyes of many Song people, even if there is no Yundi Kyushu as the border of the Great Song Dynasty, it doesn't matter.

Therefore, there is really no need for the Great Song Dynasty to hold on tightly to Yundi Kyushu, especially at this time when there is no catch.

Of course, it would be better if Tong Guan could deduct Yundi Kyushu from the mouth of the Jin people, after all, it was a large piece of territory, and it could also be used as the border of the Great Song Dynasty, and in addition, it was rich in war horses, which could be used as the horse-producing land of the Great Song Dynasty.

Therefore, after Zhao Ji prepared enough chips for Tong Guan, he asked Tong Guan to try his best to get Yundi Kyushu back.

Tong Guan also wants to get Yundi Kyushu back from the Jin people.

But Jin Guo is not the Great Song Dynasty, they will not sell Ye Tian and not feel distressed.

The key point is that the Jin State now has the meaning of sending troops to teach the Great Song a lesson.

In this case, how could Jin Guo return Yundi Kyushu to the Great Song Dynasty?

And at this critical moment, the Great Song Dynasty made another stupid move - Zhao Ji ordered Tong Guan to recruit Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi to come to the Song Dynasty.

The reason why Zhao Ji tried to recruit Yelu Yanxi was actually for a reason.

After Zhang Jue's incident, the victorious army on the border of Yanshan was very unstable.

Many soldiers of the victorious army, every word they must say about Yelu Yanxi, they all say: "If the lord is here, how dare he surrender to the Southern Dynasty?" It was because our old master disappeared, and we swore not to obey the Jurchens, so we returned to Nanchaoer! ”

Therefore, Zhao Ji was very worried that once Yelu Yanxi ascended to the top and shouted, the Changsheng army would disintegrate, and then disperse to join Yelu Yanxi.

In Zhao Ji's mind, he was very kind to Pharmacist Guo.

All the weapons, armor, military horses and other strategic materials needed by Guo Yaoshi, the Zhao and Song dynasties tried their best to meet them.

Moreover, as early as two years ago, Zhao Ji had already issued an edict to crown Guo Yaoshi as Tai Lieutenant, summoned him to Beijing, built a mansion for him in Kaifeng, the capital, and gave him more beauties - since Zhao Ji redefined the military attache system, Tai Wei has become the head of the military rank officials, and he is the second grade. As a military attache outside Beijing, it is an honor to receive this official title.

Money, beauty, power, Zhao Ji have all been given to Guo Yaoshi, why does Guo Yaoshi still have different intentions for him Zhao Ji?

In Zhao Ji's mind, the only problem was Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

Therefore, Yelu Yanxi is not only the knot in the heart of the golden people, but also the knot in Zhao Ji's heart, it can be said that if Yelu Yanxi is not removed for a day, Zhao Ji will not be at ease for a day.

It was in this state of mind that Zhao Ji wanted Tong Guan to deceive Yelu Yanxi into the Great Song Dynasty, and then put him under house arrest, at least to control it, so as to calm the hearts of the soldiers of Changsheng.

After Tong Guan came to Hedong, he has been paying close attention to Yelu Yanxi, who is hidden in the depths of Jiashan.

Tong Guan's analysis believes that Yelu Yanxi was driven out of the Western Xia again, and was defeated by the Jin army, the situation is very bad, and now he is displaced and embarrassed, if he sends someone to recruit, he will definitely be willing to come to the Great Song Dynasty to "take refuge".

Tong Guan reported his analysis to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji felt that if Yelu Yanxi could come to the Great Song Dynasty to "take refuge", then the Yanshan area would naturally be stable, because in this way, the hope of the Liao people would be extinct.

So, Zhao Ji decided to secretly operate and let Tong Guan find a suitable candidate to go to Jiashan to lure Yelu Yanxi to the Great Song Dynasty.

(From an after-eye perspective, Zhao Ji and Tong Guan's analysis and judgment of the situation in the north at this time were indeed seriously misguided, they valued Yelu Yanxi's influence too much, but underestimated the threat of the Jin people.) ）

Soon, Tong Guan recommended a monk to Zhao Ji.

Zhao Ji ordered this monk to hold his imperial pen and silk book, and secretly went to Jiashan to contact Yelu Yanxi.

After the monk came to Jiashan to find Yelu Yanxi, he gave Zhao Ji's imperial pen and silk to Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi also wrote a reply to Zhao Ji.

In the beginning, both sides were careful to keep the matter confidential.

But as the number of exchanges increased, more and more people knew about it, and in the end, almost everyone knew about it, and the Jin people naturally knew about it.

The reason why the Jin people kept quiet about this monk and did not arrest him was because they were also taking advantage of this opportunity and waiting for Yelu Yanxi to leave the complex terrain of Jiashan.

Yelu Yanxi's life was too hard, so he wrote back to Zhao Ji and promised to come to the Great Song Dynasty to "take refuge".

Zhao Ji then changed the imperial pen and silk book to an edict, wanting to accept Yelu Yanxi as a minister, and assured Yelu Yanxi that as long as Yelu Yanxi came to the Great Song Dynasty, he would treat Yelu Yanxi as a brother, let Yelu Yanxi's status be above his two brothers King Yan and King Yue, and also gave him a thousand houses, three hundred female music, and greatly favored Yelu Yanxi.

Seeing that Zhao Ji was so sincere, Yelu Yanxi was overjoyed, so he agreed with the Great Song Dynasty to return to the time and asked the Great Song Dynasty to send someone to respond.

Zhao Ji then asked Tong Guan to secretly answer Yelu Yanxi.

During this period, because Wanyan Zonghan had been stationed in the clouds, Yelu Yanxi had never dared to go out of the mountain.

It wasn't until this winter that Yelu Yanxi suddenly heard that Wanyan Zonghan had returned to the Jin Kingdom to perform affairs and was not in the clouds, so he dared to lead the crowd out of the mountains and prepare to flee to the Great Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yanxi didn't know that this was actually Wanyan Zonghan's strategy, and at this time, the Jin army was waiting for Yelu Yanxi to throw himself into the net.

Soon after, Yelu Yanxi left Jiashan with all his horses and wealth, as well as several of his new concubines, and began a massive move.

As soon as Yelu Yanxi led his army through the clouds, he received a report that the Jin army had cut off their retreat with a large army, and Wanyan Zonghan was personally leading a large army to attack them.

Yelu Yanxi was shocked and hurriedly ordered the army to throw away the baggage that was not there and quickly advance to Wuzhou - Yelu Yanxi wanted to continue to flee south and join the Great Song Dynasty.

The Jin people formed a vanguard force to pursue Yelu Yanxi with the Han'er township soldiers of Ulzhou, Yingzhou, Xinzhou and Yunzhong Province, and ambushed more than 1,000 Jurchen cavalry between the valleys that Yelu Yanxi must pass through, waiting for work.

When Yelu Yanxi led his army to the west of Xidaihai (Xidaihai, Liangcheng County, Inner Mongolia), the Jurchen cavalry suddenly came out from behind the Tatar army led by Yelu Yanxi, and the Tatar army was immediately disorganized.

After a battle, the Liao army suffered numerous casualties, and then some were captured, some surrendered, and some fled in all directions.

Yelu Yanxi hurriedly took advantage of the chaos and fled south.

Wanyan Lou led five hundred cavalry and chased Yelu Yanxi all the way.

Yelu Yanxi originally planned to go directly to Wuzhou and continue to Nantou to the Great Song Dynasty.

But when Yelu Yanxi ran to the vicinity of Wuzhou, an accompanying monk advised Yelu Yanxi not to go to the Great Song Dynasty, and the monk said: "The Southern Dynasty is weak, and he will not dare to stay, and he should be hidden by the Jurchens.

Perhaps Yelu Yanxi felt that this monk was reasonable, and felt that the Great Song Dynasty might not dare to take him in, so he changed his plan and fled westward.

After a lot of hardships, Yelu Yanxi finally escaped to Shanjinsi.

Shanjinsi is in Yinshan, because Yinshan produces gold, Liaoguo smelts and smelts here, so it is called Shanjinsi.

After Yelu Yanxi came to the Shanjin Division, he changed it to the Military Division.

Two months later, the Dangxiang Xiaogulu tribe sent someone to Shanjinsi to ask Yelu Yanxi to take refuge in their tribe - the Xiaogulu tribe was a small clan of the Dangxiang, distributed between the Tiande army and Yunzhong, and had previously been subordinate to the Liao State.

Yelu Yanxi planned to join the Western Xia with the leader of the Xiaogulu tribe, so he hurried to the Tiande army, from where Yelu Yanxi planned to cross the desert and go to Western Xia.

On the way, Yelu Yanxi and his party suddenly encountered Jin Bing again.

Yelu Yanxi could only flee in embarrassment.

This time, Yelu Yanxi was even more embarrassed, even lost his horse, and ran dozens of miles on foot.

Later, Yelu Yanxi even lost his hat.

Seeing that the Jin soldiers were about to catch up and capture Yelu Yanxi, one of his subordinates named Zhang Rengui arrived first, and then gave his horse to Yelu Yanxi, and Yelu Yanxi was able to escape.

After escaping, Yelu Yanxi had nothing to protect against the cold, and his bodyguard, Xiao Zhonggong, gave his mink fur hat to Yelu Yanxi.

On the way, the group ran out of food, and Yelu Yanxi could only eat a few dates that the loyal servant found for him to satisfy his hunger, and when he was thirsty, he could only eat two handfuls of snow to quench his thirst.

After the Tiande army, one night, Yelu Yanxi and his entourage came to a farmhouse to spend the night, and the entourage did not dare to reveal their identities and lied to the family that they were scouts.

It's a pity that the family didn't believe what Yelu Yanxi said, they guessed Yelu Yanxi's identity, and then cried and knelt down to worship Yelu Yanxi.

Yelu Yanxi hid in the family's house and lived there for several days.

Feeling that the family was very loyal to him, Yelu Yanxi made the male owner of the family the envoy of the festival.

Afterwards, Yelu Yanxi continued on his way.

After coming to the Xiaogulu tribe, Yelu Yanxi immediately appointed the leader of the Xiaogulu tribe as the southwest envoy and the general military governor.

The leader of the Xiaogulu tribe respects Yelu Yanxi very much, and treats Yelu Yanxi with full courtesy everywhere, and does not have the slightest rudeness because Yelu Yanxi lost the country.

It's a pity that not long after Yelu Yanxi arrived in Xiaogulu, Wanyan Zonghan personally led a large army to kill him.

As a result, the Xiaogulu tribe was slaughtered by the Jin army, and several concubines accepted by Yelu Yanxi and all the clans of the Liao State were captured by Wanyan Zonghan, and only Yelu Yanxi escaped alone.

In order to prevent Yelu Yanxi from fleeing to Western Xia again, Wanyan Zonghan ordered Chen to be on the border between Yunzhong and Western Xia.

At the same time, Wanyan Zonghan set up a hundred cavalry every thirty miles in the territory of Shuozhou and Wuzhou.

It can be said that the Jin army arranged a dense battle net to capture Yelu Yanxi.

Wanyan Zonghan thought that Yelu Yanxi might also have fled to the Great Song Dynasty, so he sent an envoy to Taiyuan to say to Tong Guan: "The Yuan Covenant on the sea, there must be no Tianzuo, and each other will be killed immediately. ”

Where would Tong Guan admit that the Great Song Dynasty took in Yelu Yanxi?

Moreover, in fact, although the Great Song Dynasty wanted to take in Yelu Yanxi, Yelu Yanxi did not come to the Great Song Dynasty.

But Wanyan Zonghan didn't believe it, Wanyan Zonghan already had enough evidence to prove that the Great Song Dynasty did recruit Yelu Yanxi, and they did not catch Yelu Yanxi all over the world, in this case, Yelu Yanxi most likely escaped to the Great Song Dynasty, and then was hidden by the Great Song Dynasty, just like when the Great Song Dynasty hid Zhang Jue.

Soon, Wanyan Zonghan sent an envoy to Taiyuan to urge Tong Guan to hand over Yelu Yanxi, and said that if the Great Song Dynasty did not hand over Yelu Yanxi, the Jin State would send a large army to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Tong Guan had no choice but to send generals to the border to search.

Tong Guan said to the people who were sent out: "If you meet someone who is not black-eyed (the Khitans have Central Asian blood, not black-eyed, but color-eyed), you don't need to ask, just kill it, and then give the head to the Jin people." ”

In this way, both Song and Jin were chasing Yelu Yanxi.

One day in February 1125, on the vast snow 60 miles east of Yingzhou New Town (later Huairen, Shanxi), a group of cavalry under Wanyan Lou's room was on routine patrol, and suddenly saw a man riding a horse in the east and holding two horses in his hand, running to the north.

When the cavalry saw this, they immediately mounted their horses and surrounded the man, and then ordered the man to dismount and surrender.

The man saw that he really couldn't escape this time, so he dismounted, and then took the initiative to say: "I am the Great Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi." ”

When the Jin people heard this, they were overjoyed, and immediately wanted to tie up Yelu Yanxi to receive the reward.

Yelu Yanxi said loudly: "You dare to be disrespectful to the Son of Heaven? ”

The Jin people didn't care whether Yelu Yanxi was a real son of heaven or a fake emperor, and directly kicked Yelu Yanxi down in the snow, and then rushed up and tied Yelu Yanxi tightly, and then took him to Yan Lou's room to receive the reward.

Wanyan Lou asked people who knew Yelu Yanxi to identify Yelu Yanxi one by one whether Yelu Yanxi was Emperor Tianzuo?

After everyone saw it, they all said that it was the Great Liao Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi, and there was no doubt about it.

Wanyan Lou was overjoyed, and immediately sent a reliable person to send Yelu Yanxi to Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan has always suspected that the Great Song Dynasty hid Yelu Yanxi like hiding Zhang Jue.

Now, Yelu Yanxi has been captured by the Jin army, and the matter is over.

On 30 February, Wanyan Zonghan sent people to Taiyuan to offer victory to the Xuanfu Division, and asked for an advance of 200,000 silver silk from next year's New Year's coins to reward the army.

In the matter of capturing Yelu Yanxi, Da Song was a bit of a loser.

The point is that the situation is pressing.

Therefore, Tong Guan scraped together 200,000 silver silks for the Jin people.

In this way, the matter of Yelu Yanxi can be understood.

Soon, Tong Guan gave Zhao Ji a table of the destruction of the He Yelu clan, and the Great Liao Empire, which had a history of more than 200 years, was completely destroyed.

Li Renai, the prince of Western Xia, was very sympathetic to what happened to his grandfather Yelu Yanxi.

At the beginning, when Yelu Yanxi fled westward, Li Renai wept when he heard the news and asked his father, Emperor Li Qianshun, to send troops to help.

Western Xia's 30,000 reinforcements were later defeated by the Jin army at Yishui.

Lee Ren-ae cried about it for a whole month.

Later, when he learned that his father, Emperor Li Qianshun, had decided to submit to the Jin State and "invited" his grandfather Yelu Yanxi out of Western Xia, Li Renai tried his best to admonish him.

But Li Qianshun didn't listen.

When Li Renai heard that Yelu Yanxi had been escorted to Shangjing, he died of depression at the age of seventeen.

In the same month, Yelu Nanxian, the queen of Western Xia, was sad because of the death of her beloved son, painful because of the destruction of the motherland, and angry because of Li Qianshun's ruthlessness, so she died of hunger strike.
