Chapter 322: The Imperial Driver's Expedition (Ask for Subscription!) )
Xiao Gan is a Han name, and his nickname is Hui Libao, and he is also Hui Libu, Kui Libu and so on.
After Xiao Gan was the king of Xi, his life experience was very complicated and full of legends.
When he was young, Xiao Gan served as a guard for Liao Daozong, and later served as the Iron Harrier - the Iron Harrier was one of the military branches of the Khitan Dynasty, and the Western Xia also had the Iron Harrier, which belonged to the ace army of the world, it acted quickly, had strong combat effectiveness, and could fight in the plains and wilderness areas, and was mostly used for rushing and impacting.
After Yelu Yanxi succeeded to the throne, Xiao Gan served as the Northern Jurchen and was also aware of the soldiers and horses of the Xianzhou Road, and changed to the commander of the army in Tokyo.
Later, Xiao Gan made meritorious contributions to breaking through Zhufan, and relocated the king of Xi Liubu, also known as King Xi Tieli, and also knew the soldiers and horses of the Northeast Road.
In February of the second year of Baoda, Wanyan Zongwang defeated Xiao Gan in Bei'an Prefecture, Xiao Gan pretended to surrender, and it didn't take long for him to flee back to Yanjing.
Yelu Yanxi fled to Mandarin Duck and was captured by Cai still and was never heard from, so Xiao Gan and Li Chuwen, Yelu Dashi and others resolutely led the people to establish Yelu Chun, the king of Qin and Jin, as the emperor in Yanjing.
After Yeluchun ascended the throne, he appointed Xiao Ganzhi as the privy envoy of the Northern Yuan, and concurrently the commander of all armies, and was called the king of the four armies (i.e., Khitan, Xi, Han, and Bohai).
After Yeluchun's death, Xiao Gan assisted Xiao Puxian as the regent, defeating the Song army's repeated attacks on Yanjing.
Cai still entered Yan and sent Han Shizhong to ambush Xiao Gan, who had just defeated the Song army.
Xiao Gan was defeated, and then led hundreds of people to escape from Yandi.
After leaving Yandi, Xiao Gan returned to his hometown of Jianli Mountain (later the ancestral mountain of Qinglong Manchu Autonomous County, Hebei).
It has always been the base of the Xi people, and it is also the birthplace of the Xi people.
Xiao Gan summed up the past, thinking that the Khitan people were unreliable at all, not worth his life, and if they wanted to be rich and strong, they had to rely on themselves.
As a result, Xiao Gan renamed the original lobby of Xi Wangfu as "Tiewa Oolong Palace", created the Great Xi Empire here, established himself as the "Sacred Emperor of Xi State", and changed the Yuan to "Tianfu".
Politically, Xiao Gan set up the three privy councils of Xi, Han and Bohai to be in charge of the affairs of the three tribes, and changed the east and west jiedu envoys to the two kings, and divided the departments and established officials;
Economically, Xiao Gan minted "Tianfu Tongbao" money and circulated it;
In terms of ethnic policy, Xiao Gan pursued the policy of taking the Xi nationality as the majority, the Han people and the Bohai people, and hating the Khitan.
After the founding of the People's Republic of China, Xiao Gan continued to lead people to attack other regions and loot people and livestock.
At that time, because all parties were playing games and everyone's attention was all on Yanyun and Xiao Gan could not be taken into account, as a result, the army under Xiao Gan once grew to seventy or eighty thousand people.
This caught the attention of Wan Yan Aguta.
Wanyan Aguda sent envoys to recruit Xiao Gan many times, and he once said in an edict: "Hearing that you coerced and lured the people, usurped the title, the more the lord of Liao was reckless, the great fortune was no more, your ancestors surrendered to Liao, and now you are subordinate, what is the difference from the past?" There is a gap between you and Yu Jian, so it is difficult to come by, and Yu Jian has a look, how can I follow it? Fu Neng descended quickly, relieved all your sins, and still served the six tribes, taunted the people in front of the mountain, and returned his official property. If you are still obsessed and send troops to attack, you will not be forgiven. ”
The Xi people were originally an independent people, originated in the late Han Dynasty, and belonged to the same race as the Khitan.
After Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji established the Liao State, the various tribes of the Xi nationality gradually attached themselves and eventually became a subsidiary of the Liao State.
After that, the Xi people intermarried with the Khitan people for generations, so they all changed their surnames to Xiao, and they became one of the descendants.
As the king of Xi and the leader of the Xi people, Xiao Gan hopes to fight for a world that belongs to him and the Xi people in the gap between the Great Song Dynasty and Dajin.
This is Xiao Gan's dream, this is also the goal he pursues, even if he fails in the end, he will never regret it.
Therefore, Xiao Gan turned a deaf ear to Wanyan Aguta's solicitation, and still robbed everywhere, robbing the gold, the Han, and the Khitans.
There is Zhang Jue in the east and Xiao Gan in the west, and the soldiers and horses of the two are added together, more than 100,000.
In this case, how can you let the Jin people rest assured to help Goryeo restore the country?
Moreover, Jin Guo's troubles are not just Zhang Jue and Xiao Gan.
Just as Zhang Jue and the people of Pingzhou heard about it, after Yelu Yanxi escaped from the encirclement and suppression of the Jin army, he collected many remnants of the Liao State and defeated generals, and then went north to Tatar, and actively sent envoys to Western Xia to prepare for a comeback.
(In the literature of the Song people, the various tribes of the Mongolian plateau are generally referred to as Tatars, and according to their distance from the Han land and the different levels of culture, they are distinguished as black Tatars (referring to the Mongolian tribes), white Tatars (referring to the Wanggu tribes), and raw Tatars.) )
When the Liao State was in great prosper, after the Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji to the Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu dynasties, the Tatar tribes were all subordinate departments of the Liao court, and the Liao court ordered its leaders to be the king or Yili Jian, and placed the northwest road to recruit the division to unify it; And build three cities between the upper reaches of the Orkhon River and the Tula River, set up the town, defense, and Weizhou, garrison the town, and open up Tuntian.
In other words, the Tatar tribes were originally vassals of the Liao State.
In the past few years, the Liao-Jin War, the Liao State had no time to take care of the Tatar tribes, and the Tatar tribes took the opportunity to develop vigorously, and now the strength is extraordinary - the Tatar Department of the Hulunbuir Grassland, the Kereh Department centered on the upper reaches of the Orkhon River, the Qiyan Department that rose in the middle and upper reaches of the Onen River and the Krulun River, the Naiman Department from the Altai Mountains to the Hangai Mountain region, and the Wanggu Department of Monan, etc., are now all very strong, and all of them can constitute a threat to the Jin State.
Moreover, many of the Tatar tribes had close ties with the Liao, and some still revered Yelu Yanxi as emperor or Great Khan.
In addition, the Western Xia responded to the proposal of the Jin State to send troops, but in the end, all the benefits were taken by the Great Song Dynasty, and as a result, the Western Xia mobilized the army in vain.
This made everyone in Western Xia very dissatisfied.
Therefore, Li Qianshun was very active in Yelu Yanxi's joint invitation, and there was a great tendency to form an alliance with Yelu Yanxi.
Wanyan Aguda knew that Li Qianshun was actually doing this for him, and the purpose was to warn him: I have other choices in Xixia, don't push people too much.
And no one knows whether this warning will eventually turn out to be true.
Therefore, this needs to be properly handled.
And if Wanyan Aguta does not handle the affairs of Tatar and Western Xia well, and Yelu Yanxi convinces the Tatar tribes and Western Xia, then the good situation of the Jin State is likely to be gone.
At this time of crisis, let the leaders of the various tribes of the Jin Kingdom not sweat and shed blood for the Goryeo people, how could they be willing, even if this matter was strongly promoted by Wanyan Aguta.
……
Late August.
Cai still neatly divided the assembled 200,000 regular army and 200,000 auxiliary armies, a total of 400,000 troops, into five compartments: front, rear, left, right, and center, with 80,000 horses in each compartment, and then appointed:
In the front compartment, Wang Yan is under control, and Yang Yizhong is under the deputy capital.
In the left compartment, Yue Fei is under control, and Zhang Xian is under the deputy control.
In the right compartment, Han Shizhong is under control, and Wu Lin is under the deputy capital.
In the back compartment, Wu Jue is under control, and Wang De is under the control of Wang De.
In the middle compartment, Liu Qi is under control, and Niu Gao is under control by the vice-capital.
After that, Cai still named his eldest son Cai Cun as the eldest prince, his second son Cai Xiu as the second prince, his third son Cai Ji as the third prince, and then Li Gang, Zhao Ding, Song Jiang, Chen Kangbo, Chen Yu, Zhao Kai, Yelu Dashi, and Jin Fushi as the eight ministers who prepared for their lives, and left a clear edict: if he has three long and two short, his eldest son Cai Cun will inherit his throne, Cai Cunruo has a problem, the second son Cai Xiu will inherit his throne, Cai Cun and Cai Xiuruo will have problems, and the third son Cai Ji will inherit his throne.
From Cai Ying's arrangement, it is not difficult to see that this time Cai is still preparing to drive in person.
And so it is.
At the beginning of September, Cai still used the front carriage as the front side to select the front army, with Wang Yan as the front guard and Yang Yizhong as the deputy front selector, and directly launched a war to recover the northern part of Goryeo.
After receiving Cai Zhen's order, Wang Yan and Yang Yizhong immediately led an army of 80,000 troops to the north and went straight to Xijing in Goryeo......
……
Seokkyung, Goryeo.
When Tuo Junjing learned that the 400,000 Liaodong army had killed them in a mighty manner, he looked up to the sky and sighed: "Goryeo is in danger!" ”
Tuo Junjing knows that Goryeo is really dangerous!
As the saying goes, the snake does not have a head.
In today's Goryeo, there is not even a supreme leader, and there are constant internal strife, everyone has their own opinions, and no one can convince anyone.
In this case, how could they withstand the attack of the Liaodong Army?
Tuo Junjing didn't dare to wait any longer, so he immediately used force to override the public opinion and set up Wang Kai's uncle, Wang Qiao, the Marquis of Tongyi, as the king of Goryeo.
After that, Tuo Junjing discussed with Wang Qiaoyi and decided to send the rest of Goryeo to the northwest to come to help, and at the same time send people to ask for help from the Jin Guocheng Fanna, and on the other hand, to stay in Goryeo Segyung and wait for help......
……
Soon after the Great Song Dynasty got in touch with Zhang Jue, Zhao Ji gave Zhan Du an order: try to recruit Zhang Jue, or even Xiao Gan, in order to peacefully recover the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying, plug the last gap in the southward movement of the Hu people, and solve the border problem by the way.
Zhan Du immediately held a meeting to discuss the possibility of recruiting Zhang Jue and Xiao Gan.
After some discussion, the participants all believed that it was unlikely that Xiao Gan would surrender, because he had been an enemy of the Great Song Dynasty, defeated the Great Song Dynasty, and disgraced the Great Song Dynasty.
Zhan Du quickly reported the discussion to Zhao Ji.
A few days later, Zhao Ji ordered Zhan Du: secretly send someone to lure Zhang Jue, let Zhang Jue secretly lead someone to surrender to the Great Song Dynasty, and he can give him a high-ranking official.
At this time, Yanmin has returned to Yandi one after another.
Zhao Ji then issued an edict to Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du, ordering them to seriously compensate and inspect the scholars and doctors in Yandi, select the available materials from them, and give travel expenses to those who originally had official positions, so that they could enter Beijing and go to Que in exchange for dispatch.
In order to let the people live and work in peace and contentment, Zhao Ji also exempted the regular payment for three years.
Zhang Jue, who had repeatedly failed to get in touch with Yelu Yanxi, was overjoyed after hearing about these policies of the Great Song Dynasty, and decided to surrender the Song Dynasty to Ping, Ying, and Luan.
Zhang Jue sent his cronies Gao Dang to Yanjing to make official contact with Wang Anzhong.
Gao Dang once served as the third envoy of the Liao State, and was later captured by the Jin people, and was released because of Zhang Jue's help, so he was very grateful to Zhang Jue and tried his best to plan for Zhang Jue.
The Gao Party knew that Zhang Jue's rebellion against Jin would definitely attract an attack by the Jin army, so if the Great Song Dynasty did not accept them, then when the Jin army came to attack Pingzhou, the end of Pingzhou should have arrived, so the Gao Party tried its best to promote the Great Song Dynasty to accept them.
Gao Dang said to Wang Anzhong: "Pingzhou has been a place of beauty since ancient times, hundreds of miles away, with more than 100,000 armor, and the handsome minister Zhang Jue is a full range of civil and military materials, enough to resist the Jin people and balance Guo Yaoshi, if it is used by my Great Song Dynasty, it will be able to screen the Han royal family, otherwise, I am afraid that he will welcome Emperor Tianzuo in the west, Xiao Gan in the north, and become my Great Song Dynasty border trouble together, so, how can Yanshan be safe?" ”
Wang Anzhong felt that Gao Dang's words were reasonable, so he wrote a report to Zhao Ji and asked Zhang Jue to be recruited.
Wang Anzhong said to Gao Dang: "I agree with your opinion and dare to assume its responsibility, but this matter is a matter of military interests, and I dare not report it to the imperial court, and the imperial court will make a decision." ”
So, Wang Anzhong sent someone to escort Gao Dang into Beijing to Que, and then Gao Dang secretly lived in Wang Hao's mansion.
At this time, Zhao Minxiu, a scholar of the Yankang Palace and a scholar of the Taiyi Palace, also often went in and out of Wang Huang's mansion.
This Zhao Minxiu is not an ordinary person, he is the son of Li Yan, the former prime minister of Liao, and Li Chuwen's cousin Li Chuoneng.
After Li Chuwen was executed by Xiao Puxian, Li Chuneng first became a monk, and later escaped from Yanjing to become a monk on an island.
When the virtuous woman Xiao Pu learned of this, she ordered him to return to the world, and ordered him to ride to Que immediately, intending to reuse him.
When Li Zhuneng went to Pingzhou, he heard that Cai had already destroyed the Great Liao and accepted Xiao Puxian's daughter to occupy Yanjing, so he crossed the border to join the Great Song Dynasty, and was awarded the first official in Beijing.
In this process, Zhang Jue helped a lot.
Therefore, Li Chu Neng owes Zhang Jue a lot of favors.
So, Zhao Minxiu and Gao Dang went in and out of Wang Huang and Cai You's mansions every day, and the Zhao and Song courts believed it and made up their minds to pass through Pingzhou and accept Zhang Jue.
And these things were all known to the Jin people.
This made the Jin people angry and threatened to give Da Song some color.
But—
Jin Ren: That's just saying.
The current Jin Kingdom can be said to be in trouble, and it is still too busy to take care of itself, how can it take the initiative to provoke the Great Song Dynasty?
In particular, Wanyan Aguta also tried his best to suppress the arrogant generals of the Jin Kingdom, and Wanyan Aguta said to them: "The time for our Dajin to rise is too short, and there are too many enemies, so we must not fight with the Great Song Dynasty again." ”
In this way, Jin Cai pretended not to know that Da Song was poking in his back.
It was also at this time that Goryeo sent a request for help to Daikin, saying that he was willing to call Daikin a watch and begged Daikin to send reinforcements to rescue.
Knowing that Cai still dispatched a total of 400,000 troops this time, the Jin people immediately understood that Cai still counted their Dajin among the enemy, otherwise there would be no need to send so many men and horses - you know, if the battle is full, the Northwest Army of Goryeo will only have 200,000 troops, and half of them are still stationed on the border between Goryeo and Jin to prevent the invasion of the Jin army.
Send troops to rescue Goryeo and fight a decisive battle with Liaodong?
Not bad.
It's a decisive battle.
Cai still dispatched an army of 400,000, and if the Jin State did not have the determination to fight a decisive battle with it, it would be absolutely unwise to provoke Liaodong.
Because, Liaodong has the strength to destroy the Jin State.
There is no doubt that Wanyan Aguta wants to destroy Liaodong and Cai Yi - the wise Wanyan Aguta knows better than anyone that it will become a threat to Dajin, only Liaodong and Cai Yi, and this time joining forces with Goryeo may be their only chance for Dajin.
And yet—
Jin Guo is really worried about internal and external troubles at present!
The key is that in recent times, Wanyan Aguta's body has become weaker and weaker, and he often sweats and wets his clothes - anyone can see that Wanyan Aguta's condition has worsened again, and I'm afraid he won't even survive this winter.
Under such circumstances, how could the Jin State dare to intervene in the Liaodong-Goryeo war?
