Xiao Gan's death was not only a relief for the Jin Kingdom, but also a major military threat to the Great Song Dynasty.

Xiao Gan's head was later presented to the Song army and presented to the Zhao and Song courts.

When Zhao Ji learned about it, he issued an edict saying:

The subordinates are in charge of the government and the famine, and the heavens use it to exterminate their country. I was born to the emperor's order, Keshao Xianye, take chaos and insult the dead, restore the territory, Shi Daze in Yanyun's people, the old customs come and go, like water on the bottom, and the Mo can be controlled. The king of the four armies of the independent puppet did not leave, disobeyed the people's orders, the year before last, the first offender Wang Shi in Baigou, followed the resumption of the brigade to reject Yancheng, and ordered the division to attack in the north of Guangyang, but dared to do the discipline of the sky, and was free to be a pseudo-position, called the Holy Emperor, and changed the year of the heir of the heavens, and attacked the orthodoxy. Last year, he led his trip to Ruolin, out of Kou Jing, thistle, poisonous and ugly, and falsely accused gods, and the crime cannot be punished. The Sixth Division was defeated at Fengshan Mountain, and it was only the turn of the wheel. Jiachen passed on the first Beijing teacher, but to give God to curb the chaos, the emperor helped Shun, the sect was retired, with this martial art, I dare to enjoy it exclusively? You can choose a day to send an official to report to the temple community. The Imperial Zichen Palace was congratulated, and its departed from the first level, and it was sent to the Taishe Library according to the ceremony, so it is hereby indicated, and it is advisable to know.

Xiao Gan's wife's name is Agu, and when she heard the news of her husband's death, she killed herself and died for her country.

Subsequently, the remnants of the Xi army turned to fight in the area of Sage Mountain, and were finally defeated by Jin Qianhu Xiao Wangjianu and Jin General Tuwu, except for the battle death, the rest of the people surrendered, and the Xi country came to a complete end.

……

After Yan Wu Qimai succeeded to the throne, he ordered Yan Zonghan to continue to encircle and suppress Yelu Yanxi in the southwest and northwest.

Wanyan Zonghan believes that Yelu Yanxi is still on the run, and Western Xia also has the intention of helping the remnants of Liao to restore the country, in this case, Yundi is very important.

Moreover, because Cai has been governing Yundi for more than a year, the current Yundi is the most prosperous place around, with grain and livestock, which can provide grain and grass support for the Jin army.

Therefore, Wanyan Zonghan wanted to temporarily borrow the Yunbei region with the Great Song Dynasty to rest and raise people and deter Western Xia, so that Western Xia would not dare to meddle in the affairs of Liaojin.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy that Wanyan Zonghan was in the Arabian Nights, how could Da Song spit out the fat in his mouth?

But—

Wanyan Wu Qimai also knew that in the northwest region, except for Yundi, all the conditions were extremely difficult, and it was indeed a little difficult for Wanyan Zonghan to be stationed there.

The key is that Wanyan Wu beggars knows that Wanyan Aguda trusted Wanyan Zonghan very much before his death, and Wanyan Zonghan has made a lot of achievements, and few people can look forward to it.

In order to appease Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Wu begged to give Wanyan Zonghan a hundred blank holy decrees, so that he had the privilege of not being subject to the life of the foreign monarch.

Wanyan Wu Qimai said in the holy decree: "In terms of today's send, if you want to be relocated, you must wait for the performance, for fear of stagnation, and it will be done cheaply." ”

Soon, Wanyan Wu begged to buy another order to Wanyan Yan's mother, ordering him to continue to send troops to fight against Pingzhou Zhang Jue.

On this day, Wanyan Yanmu led his army to quietly set out from Runzhou, and then marched to Pingzhou along the rugged mountain road in the southwest, where he planned to attack Pingzhou.

But what Wanyan Yan's mother didn't expect was that his marching movements had been learned by Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue quietly set up an ambush on Rabbit Ear Mountain west of Funing.

Rabbit Ear Mountain belongs to the remaining veins of Yan Mountain, and is named because the twin peaks are shaped like rabbit ears.

The terrain is treacherous, making it a good place for ambush warfare.

Wanyan Yanmu didn't know that there was an ambush in front of them, and their group of more than 3,000 horses swaggered into the two peaks without preparation.

Suddenly!

The 3,000 gold soldiers were fiercely attacked by Zhang Jue's 20,000 horses!

The Jin army was defeated!

Wanyan Yanmu led the remnants of the army to fight out of the encirclement and fled in embarrassment.

Wanyan Wu begged to hear that Yan Yan's mother was defeated in Tuer Mountain, he was very angry, and ordered Wanyan Yan's mother to be dismissed from his position, and then transferred Wanyan Zongwang from the northwest front to Runzhou, so that he could ask Wanyan Yan's mother for his guilt, and organize forces to continue the crusade against Zhang Jue.

In terms of seniority, Wanyan Yan's mother is Wanyan Zongwang's uncle;

In terms of merit, Wanyan Yan's mother's military exploits are also very prominent.

Therefore, after Wanyan Zongwang came to Runzhou, he did not punish Wanyan Yan's mother, but let him continue to lead the army and occupy Guangning (later Beizhen City, Liaoning) and other coastal counties.

As for Zhang Jue, a traitor to Nanjing, Wanyan Zongwang ostensibly stood still, but secretly strengthened espionage and reconnaissance work, paying close attention to Zhang Jue's every move.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also assembled a thousand elite cavalry on standby, ready to attack at any time......

……

For the situation in Pingzhou, Da Song has also been paying close attention.

Zhao Ji was very happy when he heard that Zhang Jue had won a great victory in Rabbit Ear Mountain, and immediately issued a secret edict to Wang Anzhong, asking Xuanfu Si to take tens of thousands of silver silks to reward, and at the same time, he sent Li Anbi and Zhang Jue's brother Zhang Jun to Pingzhou with Taining military cards and edicts, edicts, and imperial pen edicts.

Zhang Jue was overjoyed when he learned about it.

On this day, Zhang Jueqin led a large group of officials out of the city to greet him.

This incident was quickly learned by the Jin State spy personnel, and they quickly reported it to Wanyan Zongwang.

Wanyan Zongwang felt that the opportunity had finally come, so he led more than 1,000 elite cavalry soldiers to gallop over.

In the face of the sudden attack of the Jin army, Zhang Jue, who was defenseless, was caught off guard by the Jin army.

Zhang Jue hurried back to the city!

No, in the east of the city, Zhang Jue was intercepted by the Jin army again.

As a result, Zhang Jue was defeated and was unable to escape back to the city.

As a last resort, Zhang Jue had no choice but to flee along the path to Yanjing with his younger brother Zhang Jun.

After that, the Jin army besieged the city of Pingzhou, and then attacked day and night.

But—

Because Zhang Dungu and others held on to the city, the Jin army could not attack it for a long time.

(Zhang Dungu was Zhang Jue's cousin, and several of Zhang Jue's nephews were holding on to the city at that time.) And Jiedu's deputy envoy Wei Fu, staff officer Zhao Minyan and others have abandoned the city and fled. They led dozens of people under their command, carrying the jewels and jade treasures in the official treasury, and they also fled to Yanjing and fled in all directions. ）

The people of Pingzhou were very eager to be rescued by the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, when the Jin army attacked Pingzhou, the only one who could rescue Pingzhou in time was the Song army, which was close at hand.

The key point is that Pingzhou has surrendered to the Great Song Dynasty at this time, and it is the Taining Army of the Great Song Dynasty, and the Great Song Dynasty should reinforce Pingzhou.

Therefore, when Zhang Jue and other people in Pingzhou learned that Pingzhou was being attacked by the Jin army, they immediately begged the Great Song Dynasty to send troops to reinforce Pingzhou.

And the Great Song Dynasty really wants to get Pingzhou.

But—

In the face of the fierce offensive of the Jin army, the Great Song did not dare to openly engage the Jin State.

To put it bluntly, the attitude of the Great Song Dynasty towards Pingzhou is that he only wants to seek it but does not want to gain it.

In this case, in the face of Pingzhou's request for help, the Great Song side was always vague and did not give a positive answer.

Zhang Jue's mother, wife and other family members are not in Yanjing or Pingzhou, but live in Yingzhou.

Yingzhou was soon broken by the Jin army, and Zhang Jue's mother, wife and other relatives were all captured by the Jin army.

Zhang Jue's younger brother Zhang Jun, when he heard that his mother was captured by the Jin army, and saw that the Great Song Dynasty was reluctant to send troops to rescue Pingzhou, so he took away all the documents he carried, such as the imperial pen edict and the edict edict given by Zhao Ji to his brother Zhang Jue, and then dedicated it to Wanyan Zongwang, hoping to exchange it for his mother's life.

But how did Zhang Jun know that his mother, his sister-in-law and others had already been killed by the Jin army.

After Yan Zongwang read Zhao Ji's edict and edict and other documents, he was furious, and he hated the treachery of the Song Dynasty very much.

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang did not understand Chinese, nor could he understand Chinese characters, and the person who translated and analyzed these documents beside him at that time was the original Hanchen of the Liao State, who belonged to the Liao people.

The Liao people generally hated the behavior of the Great Song Dynasty and Jin to destroy the Liao.

Therefore, the Liao people added fuel and vinegar to tell the Great Song Dynasty that they were despicable and betrayed the alliance, and said that the three states of Pingluanying belonged to their Jin State, and now they are still seeking the three states of Pingluanying, which is too shameless.

At the instigation of the Liao people, Wanyan Zongwang had the idea of taking revenge on the Great Song Dynasty.

……

After Zhang Jue fled to Yanjing, he directly took refuge in Guo Yaoshi - Zhang Jue knew that Guo Yaoshi now holds military power, is a powerful faction, and is also a Liao person, so only Guo Yaoshi can save his life.

Zhang Jue then changed his name to Zhao Xiucai and hid in the Changsheng army.

Since the victory of Fengshan, Guo Yaoshi has relied on his military exploits and the emperor's favor, so he is a little carried away, unstoppable, indulgent and arrogant, and empty-eyed.

Nominally, Wang Anzhong is the number one leader in Yanshan Mansion, and Guo Yaoshi is Wang Anzhong's deputy.

But in fact, Wang Anzhong couldn't interfere with Chang Shengjun at all, and even many government decrees required the nod of Guo Yaoshi to count.

Wang Anzhong is a literati with a weak personality, he does not dare and cannot subdue Guo Yaoshi, he only knows Qu Yi Fengzhi.

As a result, all the military materials such as armor and canes that Guo Yaoshi wanted, Wang Anzhong did not write to the Zhao and Song Dynasty courts and tried to supply them as much as possible.

Pharmacist Guo said that he needed horses, and Wang Anzhong tried his best to get war horses for Pharmacist Guo.

In order to raise more military expenses and to meet his personal interests, Guo Yaoshi also sent his subordinates to sell boats and other businesses in various states in the Great Song Dynasty to earn money.

At the same time, Guo Yaoshi also gathered some skilled craftsmen of the Liao State who served Yelu Yanxi back then, and made various strange and precious things such as jade belts and yards, which were used to make friends with the powerful people in the court, so that the magnates of the Great Song Dynasty and the eunuchs in the palace all disliked Guo Yaoshi.

At this time, Changsheng's army had 50,000 people, plus the township soldiers controlled by Guo Yaoshi, which was claimed to have 300,000 people.

However, what is puzzling is that Guo Yaoshi and his subordinates still did not change their "left" at this time, that is, they were still wearing Liao clothes instead of Song costumes.

Many people privately compare Pharmacist Guo to An Lushan, seeing him as a dangerous person.

What Pharmacist Guo did caused Zhan Du's dissatisfaction.

Zhan Du is not as weak as Wang Anzhong, he has a strong personality, so he wants to restrain Guo Yaoshi from the scope of power.

But—

Although Zhan Du was nominally the military director of Yanjing, the Song army stationed in Yanjing was only 9,000 men, which was really incomparable with the "300,000" victorious army.

Therefore, if Zhan Du wants to fully control the military power, he must subdue Guo Yaoshi.

But how could Pharmacist Guo be subject to Zhan Du?

Therefore, the relationship between the two is becoming more and more bitter.

Zhan Du and Guo Yaoshi both knew Yanshan Mansion, that is, they were both Wang Anzhong's deputies.

But who was the first deputy, the court was not clear, and the two had a fierce dispute over this.

Guo Yaoshi believes that in Zhao Ji's imperial pen edict, he has the title of "Jieyue", and the position of power should be above Zhan Du.

Zhan Du believes that the ranking order on the royal pen is the order of power positions, his name is ranked first, and Guo Yaoshi's name is ranked last, which means that his power position should be higher than Guo Yaoshi.

(This is actually a small trick deliberately played by the Zhao and Song courts, in order to make Zhan Du and Guo Yaoshi, who have military power, control each other, and prevent them from becoming a threat to the Zhao and Song courts.) ）

Neither Zhan Du nor Pharmacist Guo could convince anyone, and the conflict became more and more acute.

Wang Anzhong couldn't reconcile, so he had to write to the court and ask Zhao Ji to solve the matter.

Although Zhao Ji also felt a little like lifting a stone to hit his own feet, he didn't reflect too much on this, but felt very hastily that guarding Yanjing was inseparable from Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun, so he issued an edict to transfer Zhan Du and Cai Jing, the prefect of Hejian Prefecture.

Cai Jing is a civil official, with a calm personality and an open mind, after coming to Yanjing, he was honest with Guo Yaoshi; Pharmacist Guo also respects him very much, and his domineering momentum has also been restrained.

As a result, the phenomenon of disunity among the leading groups of Yanshan Prefecture was temporarily resolved.

And yet—

The military power of the Chang Shengjun has always been firmly in the hands of Guo Yaoshi.

……

Wanyan Zongwang personally returned to Shangjing, and reported the Song Dynasty documents such as the imperial pen edict, edict and edict given by Zhao Ji to Zhang Jue, and reported it to Wanyan Wu to buy it, and then suggested that Zhao Ji should be taught a lesson at the right time.

Wanyan Wu begged to buy these documents, and of course he was also very angry - these documents can be said to be ironclad evidence of the collusion of the Great Song Dynasty with the traitor Zhang Jue.

But Wanyan Wu still has some political attention, and his mind is also very cool-headed.

Wanyan Wu Qimai felt that now, Yelu Yanxi had not been captured, Zhang Jue had not been captured, the attitude of Western Xia was not clear, and the Tatar tribes had not been completely resolved, and the Jin State could not make too many enemies, so it could not make enemies with the Great Song Dynasty.

As for how to take revenge on the Great Song Dynasty, let's leave it for later.

Wanyan Zongwang thought about it and felt that it was indeed not ripe enough to fight with the Great Song Dynasty at this time - he had not yet thoroughly understood the military strength of the Great Song Dynasty, especially for Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun, Zongwang was still afraid.

After returning to the front line in Pingzhou, Wanyan Zongwang suppressed his anger and sent a letter to the Yanshan Xuanfu Division, saying, since China has formed an alliance with me, then I have come to crusade against the traitors, and you should give me food and wages.

Wang Anzhong hurriedly played the Zhao and Song courts.

Zhao Ji didn't want to break the relationship with the Jin State, let alone anger the Jin army, so he ordered Yanshan Xuanfu Si to transport grain to him.

How can there be food in Yanshan, there is no way, they can only go to the clouds to scavenge for food, to please the Jin people, in order to deceive the friendship of the Jin people.

But how did Zhao Ji know that Zhao Ji's edict to Zhang Jue had already fallen into the hands of Jin Guojunchen and had already become a handle.

And this handle later became an important reason for the Jin army to invade the Great Song Dynasty in the south.

The city of Pingzhou was besieged for many days, and Zhang Dungu, the commander of the capital, still refused to open the city and surrender.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious, so he transferred an army of 100,000 to attack the city.

It was not until the city of Pingzhou ran out of ammunition and food that Zhang Dungu and others disarmed and surrendered.

After the Jin army occupied Pingzhou, Wanyan Zongwang gave kind words and comforted Zhang Dungu and others, and pardoned their crimes.

Later, taking advantage of Yan Zongwang's return to Beijing, Zhang Dungu and others reoccupied Pingzhou, and then continued to defend the city.

After Wanyan Zongwang returned, he ordered Wanyan Yanmu to lead the army to attack the city again.

Soon, Wanyan Yan's mother conquered Pingzhou again and killed Zhang Dungu and others.

The people of Pingzhou are very tenacious, when the Jin army broke the city, there are still thousands of people in the state who refuse to surrender, and then open the city to flee, if the Great Song Dynasty sends reinforcements in time, it may not be able to block the attack of the Jin people, in that way, Zhao Ji Junchen may have completed the desire to completely recover the Yanyun area and completely block the southward passage of the Hu people.

After Yan Zongwang occupied Ping, Ying, and Luanzhou, he learned that Zhang Jue had fled into Yanjing and hid in the Changsheng army, so he sent someone to Yanshan Mansion with an official document to ask Wang Anzhong for Zhang Jue.

Wang Anzhong hurriedly went to the imperial court, and asked for instructions on how to deal with it?

Zhao Ji issued a secret edict asking Wang Anzhong to hide Zhang Jue and not hand it over to the Jin people, saying that he didn't know where Zhang Jue went.

Wanyan Zongwang is not so easy to fool, of course he didn't believe it, so he sent someone to continue to ask Wang Anzhong for it, and his attitude was very tough.

Wang Anzhong couldn't bear it, so he had to ask the court again.

Zhao Ji simply issued an edict and asked Wang Anzhong to kill a person who looked similar to Zhang Jue and send it to Jin Jun to calm the situation.

The head of Zhang Jue's stand-in was soon sent to Pingzhou.

Wanyan Zongwang asked people who knew Zhang Jue to identify it.

As a result, those people could see at a glance that the human head was fake.

Wanyan Zongwang was furious, and immediately sent someone to Yanjing again, and said to Wang Anzhong in stern terms: "This is not Zhang Jueye, Zhang Jue is hiding in Wang Xuanfu's armor storehouse. If you don't give it to me, I'll take it for myself. ”

At this time, the main force of the Jin army was still gathered in Pingzhou, and no one dared to guarantee that Wanyan Zongwang would not take these 100,000 tiger and wolf divisions that had just defeated Pingzhou to attack Yanjing.

Wang Anzhong hurriedly played and said: "If you don't hand over Zhang Jue, I'm afraid of starting the army." ”

Zhao Ji was a little frightened, so he urgently summoned Wang Hao, Cai You, Liang Shicheng and others for consultation.

In the end, Zhao Ji decided to kill Zhang Jue to appease the anger of the Jin people.

At this time, Tong Guan had been snubbed due to his poor performance in Yanyun, and he obeyed the order and went home to recuperate, and was no longer qualified to participate in political affairs, and his position as the Xuanfu envoy of Hebei Hedong was replaced by Tan Zhi.

Zheng Juzhong has died, and his privy council envoy was replaced by Cai You - Cai You almost became the prime minister, and later, the world said that Cai You was stubborn, how could he be qualified to be the prime minister, and Zhao Ji retreated to let Cai You become a prime minister.

It can be said that the people in power in the Great Song Dynasty have changed a lot now.

And the decision to execute Zhang Jue was made by this new leadership team.

After Wang Anzhong received the secret order, he sent someone to take Zhang Jue to the Xuanfu Division, made up some trumped-up charges, and then forced Zhang Jue to hang himself.

Zhang Jue scolded Zhao Ji for his treachery and death with hatred.

After Zhang Jue was hanged, Wang Anzhong ordered his head to be stained with mercury, and then sent the head to Pingzhou and handed it over to Wanyan Zongwang, and at the same time, Zhang Jue's two sons were also sent to Pingzhou and handed over to Wanyan Zongwang.

After the news spread, the Liao generals and the victorious army of Yandi wept for it.

Guo Yaoshi was even more indignant at people and said: "If the Jin people want Zhang Jue, the court will be with them, if they ask for a pharmacist, they will also be with them?" If you come to ask for a pharmacist, what can you do? ”

Zhang Linghui and other generals of the Changsheng Army also felt very chilled about the Great Song Dynasty, and even gritted their teeth with hatred.

From then on, the Changsheng army began to have two hearts towards the Great Song Dynasty.

Wang An was also very frightened in the center, and he wrote to the imperial court, requesting that he be removed from his position in Yanshan Mansion and transferred back to Beijing.

However, Zhao Ji did not agree.

The Zhang Jue incident was a turning point in history.

From then on, the Jin people began to resent the Great Song Dynasty, believing that the Great Song Dynasty was untrustworthy, broke the covenant, and had the intention of revenge.

Jin people often say: "China has sworn with Daliao for a long time, once it is destroyed, what will I do!" Now we have set up an alliance, inducing Zhang Jue to destroy my rituals, etc., so that I can't establish a country, and I must take Chinese legal objects and honor guards to establish my country. ”

It is a pity that the decision-makers of the Great Song Dynasty do not seem to have a sufficient understanding of the resentment and revenge of the Jin people, and they do not attach great importance to it and are vigilant.

After solving Zhang Jue's problem, Wanyan Zongwang sent people to Yanjing many times to ask for the Yan people who had fled back.

Wang Anzhong shirked and said: "Yan Yun is too big, and the Yan people who fled back scattered in all directions, but they really couldn't find them. ”

But even so, Wanyan Zongwang still sent envoys to Yanjing four times and repeatedly asked for it.

Actually-

How did Wang Anzhong and the officials of Yanshan Mansion know that the real purpose of the Jin envoy's coming to Yanjing was not to ask for people, but to spy on the military situation and the reality of the warehouse.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongwang also sent people to various parts of Yanjing to send secret texts to the former Liao State civil and military officials to take refuge in the Jin State, and he promised: "If those who return to the Jin State, the old super-official will be transferred to three qualifications for appointment." ”

There are also many former Liao officials in the Yanjing area who were not allowed to go to the Zhao and Song courts to change officials due to poverty, such as Zhao Gongyan, Zhao Gonglun, Yao Qiwang, etc.

After these people saw the edict of the Jin State, they all crossed the border and went to the Jin State.

These people told the Jin people all the truth and reality of Yan Yun and even the Great Song Dynasty......
