Tokyo Bianliang, the vertical arch hall, the Manchu Dynasty civil and military gathered almost, the sound of talking in the field, chaotic like Ganchi's sumo field, the voice of the people is boiling.

"Why did you start fighting? Yes? ”

"How good is this, how good is this!"

"How dare he Ganqi be so bold and offend the Liao people to such an extent?"

"How can you do it?"

"This son has always behaved perversely, what kind of sage and sage disciple, what kind of champion talent, look at the good things he has done, such a big war, where can there be a peaceful day of sleep?"

"Lives are devastated, lives are devastated!"

"Gan Daojian, a yellow-mouthed child, a vertical horseman, is so entrusted by the imperial court, he can do it like this......"

"Ashamed of the ancestors, ashamed of the ancestors, in the past, His Majesty Zhenzong, for the sake of the alliance of the Yuanyuan, I don't know how many soldiers stained the battlefield with blood, I don't know how many courtiers worked hard, and I don't know how well-intentioned His Majesty Zhenzong was, ruined, ruined, and the hard work of the predecessors were all ruined in one fell swoop......"

The Manchu Dynasty civil and military, there are panicked people, there are people who are at a loss, there are people who are abused, and even those who are white-haired and crying, sixty years ago, the alliance of the Yuanyuan, there are white-haired people who were still children at that time, and they have experienced years of war, and they have finally lived a good life for a lifetime, and they are about to enter the wood, and they have to experience the panic of people when they were children, crying for their ancestors, and crying for Zhenzong, but it is not incomprehensible.

The emperor Zhao Zhen on the high platform was also worried and panicked, even if he had heard Gan Qi's bold words of war before, even if he knew that Gan Qi had planned a lot, even if he knew that Yanyun of Liao State also had civil strife at this time, even if he was an emperor who was sitting on eight thousand miles of rivers and mountains, he was a little master of the six gods at this time.

At today's court meeting, even the words of the great eunuch Li Xian "going to the court" were not shouted, and the court was already a pot of porridge.

Prime Minister Fu Bi, at this time also had a pale face, he never thought about the situation of war with Liao, he didn't even think that Gan Qi would dare to do such a thing, he was also a person who had sent an envoy to Liao, and the purpose of the envoy was not to meet each other no matter what. Not to mention whether he is treating others with himself, but any person with a normal brain in the court will not think of going to war with Liao.

Zeng Gongliang was shocked, but he spoke first: "Everyone, be quiet, be quiet, what is the noisy and shouting, the discussion must have the appearance of a discussion." ”

"Discussion, what else is there to discuss, hurry up and give Gan Daojian an order, hurry up and give him an order, let him stop the war, and send envoys to Liao State again, we must stop the expansion of the war, peace is precious, peace is precious!"

"Yes, for today's plan, I have to give Gan Daojian an order as soon as possible, let him mediate first, and the imperial court must also send envoys to Liao State as soon as possible."

Everyone was gossiping and talking noisyly, Zeng Gongliang was irritable when he heard it, and shouted: "If the court is so out of shape, how to deal with this matter?" What's the hurry? Didn't this military intelligence say? Didn't Gan Daojian win a battle? ”

Can you believe that? He Gan Daojian defeated the Liao army of 30,000 with a few thousand men? He was willing to be solid in the unforgivable sin, and when the time came, he dared to lie about the military situation, and after this incident, he would be severely punished. ”

"Gan Daojian, relying on His Majesty's trust, relying on his wife to be the county lord, and relying on the emperor's relatives and relatives, he will be severely punished!"

If you want to say that the literati of the Song Dynasty are really gang, this seems to be Gan Qi, but in fact, they are spraying the emperor and pointing the finger at the emperor for everything.

When Emperor Zhao Shu heard this, he naturally wanted to speak: "This can't be completely blamed on Gan Qi, Gan Qi made it clear in the newspaper, and Gan Qi didn't do it to start a war, he went to give gifts, and more than a thousand carts of property were sent to the other side, where did he know that the Liao people would suddenly attack?" He Gan Qi is stupid, it is impossible to cross the river with more than a thousand carts of property and thousands of men and horses to fight the Liao, how can this matter be blamed on Gan Daojian's head, if you want to blame the Liao people, this time the Liao people want me to cut the land, and the person who uses the sword soldiers in vain is not Gan Qi, but the Liao people who harbor evil intentions! ”

"Your Majesty has reached this time, and Bao Ganqi is still talking, isn't it all caused by him Ganqi? If it weren't for Ganqi, how could the Liao people have an excuse to tear up the covenant? How can you raise an army to fight in this matter? This was said by Fu Bi.

"Your Majesty doesn't have to say anything for Gan Daojian, he must be responsible for this matter!"

Zhao Shu's heart is empty, he is a rare sin who knows no one, who called Gan Qi his brother-in-law? Who told Gan Qi to poke out such a big basket? But Zhao Shu still had to speak: "Things are far from being so critical, the Liao people harbor evil intentions, but it is this first step that Gan Qi thwarted the conspiracy, the Liao people lost the first battle, and it will not be too difficult to mediate." ”

"Your Majesty, how can you trust the military intelligence report sent by Gan Qi? Who knows if he really won the battle, or if he wanted to exonerate himself? In his recital, he said that the first battle was won by 8,000 Liao people and 30,000 people, and it was fought on the north bank of the Juma River, which is not credible. Besides, the Liao people gathered more than 100,000 horses on the north bank of the Juma River, known as 700,000 troops, how could they give up because of the defeat in the First World War? ”

This is Fu Bi's words, at this time, it is not that he has to go against Gan Qi, but according to his understanding, Song Liao has not never fought, and the Liao army is not muddy, not to mention that according to Gan Qi, the Liao people are planning and preparing for a long time, Gan Qi hurriedly crossed the river to give gifts, and was caught off guard. Where is the reason to do more with less?

Fu Bi is really thinking about the country at this time, if he listens to Gan Qi's lies, he is afraid that Gan Qi will collapse for thousands of miles, and the court will not even have time to react.

But it was Zeng Gongliang who spoke: "Rich and public, I can't say that this is not credible." ”

"What? Zeng Xianggong believes in him Ganqi so much, didn't Zeng Xianggong see it with his own eyes? Fu Bi asked back.

Zeng Gongliang really opened his mouth and said: "I know the exact situation in Xiongzhou, and there is no discrepancy with Gan Daojian's report!" ”

"How dare you assert that?" Fu Bi asked repeatedly.

"Fu Xianggong, do you remember who sent His Majesty's holy decree before?" Zeng Gongliang asked.

Fu Bi thought about it and remembered, wasn't the previous holy decree sent by Zeng Gongliang's son Zeng Xiaokuan? Fu Bi hurriedly asked, "Has your son returned to Beijing?" ”

Zeng Gongliang nodded: "Xiaokuan is back." ”

"What did he say about Xiongzhou? Tell us about it! "Fu Bi is really concerned about the real situation in Xiongzhou, this is not fake.

"My son has just returned, and when the bell rang in the Imperial City, my son was talking to me about Xiongzhou at home." Zeng Gongliang said this, paused, and waited for everyone in the Manchu Dynasty to be completely quiet, and after they all turned their eyes to themselves, Zeng Gongliang continued to speak: "My son said that when he first arrived in Xiongzhou, he saw Gan Daojian leaving the city with more than 1,000 carts of property. ”

"Is there really more than a thousand carts of property?" Fu Bi doesn't seem to be convinced yet.

"It's true, my son also described the scene at that time, the frame that stretched for several miles, and there were voices of discussion in Xiongzhou City, talking about Gan Daojian's gift to the Liao people."

"What's next?"

"Next, my son went to the state office, ready to wait for Gan Daojian to come back after the gift and give him the decree. I didn't think long after, there was news that the other side was fighting, Di Qing Di after the privy secretary learned the news, immediately took more than 17,000 troops from Xiongzhou out of the camp to cross the river to help, my son also hurried to the outside of the city, and I saw Di Qing leading the troops to the north. ”

Someone immediately answered: "Yes, yes, Di Qing followed Gan Qi to Hebei, but I forgot about it." ”

I don't know why, when it comes to Di Qing in Hebei, some people immediately feel a little relieved, and Di Qing, who was invincible in the northwest in the past, seems to be able to bring some comfort to this court. But it was this man of the Manchu Dynasty, if it wasn't for Zeng Gongliang who said the name Di Qing at this time, he couldn't think of the number one person in the world who could win the battle.

Zeng Gongliang continued: "It didn't take long for the news of Gan Daojian's victory on the other side of the river, and at first my son didn't believe it, not to say that my son didn't believe it, that is, no one believed it in the entire Xiongzhou City. If it weren't for the frequent return of soldiers from the other side to transport grain, grass and ordnance, no one would dare to believe that Gan Daojian really won the battle on the other side in a hurry. At that time, my son was still at the gate of the city to stop the soldiers who came and went to ask questions, and those soldiers were beaming with joy one by one to tell the news of victory. Gan Daojian occupied Guiyi City, and on the Xiongzhou side, the frames for transporting grain and ordnance were constantly going north, and as many as two or three thousand soldiers and men were transported back and forth, and everything was transported to Guiyi City, how could this be fake? ”

Everyone in the Manchu Dynasty looked at each other, this thing was unreasonable, and the 7,000 people who rushed to the battle actually defeated the 30,000 Liao troops who were ready to attack suddenly? This thing is too unreasonable, but Zeng Gongliang's words no longer seem to be fake, it is true.

That would be shocking!

Zhao Shu heard Zeng Gongliang's words, he was excited, and said a few words again and again: "Okay, good, it's good to win, and the Liao people also know how powerful my Great Song Dynasty is, see if they dare to cut the land with him." and even if they took possession of his city of righteousness, they would not return it. Gan Daojian, Gan Daojian This is called a last battle, so he can win. Yes, he fought against the water, so he won, the Liao people were defeated, and the conspiracy of the Liao people was shattered. ”

Zhao Shu was excited, and even took the initiative to find a reasonable explanation for Gan Qi's victory. Gan Qi, once again, did not disappoint him, and also relieved him of the charge of unknown acquaintance and cronyism that he had just been crowned with on his head.

Gan Qi is also smart, he deliberately started this war, and in the end he became a Liao man harboring evil intentions. Anyway, it's none of my business, it was the Liao people who did it first, I just went to give gifts, I happily rode a horse, sang songs, and crossed the river with more than a thousand carts of property to give gifts under the witness of everyone, and suddenly I was beaten by the Liao people.

I Gan Daojian is the Liao army in front, and the Juma River is behind, and I have no choice but to fight against the water, and I can't kneel down and beg for mercy as a prisoner? I didn't expect to win the battle for me, what can I do?

But Fu Bi immediately hit Zhao Shu again: "Your Majesty, don't be so optimistic." The Liao people were planning to start this war, probably just wanting to give me a little color at first, and wanted me to cut the land with him. Now, now the conspiracy is not successful, the Liao people will be annoyed and angry, by the Juma River, the Liao people have gathered more than 100,000 troops, defeated 30,000 people, even if the Liao people are for face, they have to regroup and fight again, then it is not a little color, so if it continues, it is a bloody war between the two countries that will not stop to the death. It's back to the situation before the Lanyuan Alliance, the big war with the strength of the whole country, the safety of the society is at stake, not to mention, there are many crises, there are still party members in the northwest, once the Hebei war starts, how can the party people not take the opportunity to go south? For the sake of today's plan, we must find a way to stop the war, otherwise the consequences will be unimaginable. ”

Zhao Shu heard Fu Bi's words, and said tentatively: "Or, wait for the news?" See how Gan Daojian handled the matter? ”

Zhao Shu knew that Fu Bi was right, but he had different expectations for Gan Qi, and since he met Gan Qi, Gan Qi has never disappointed him. According to common sense, the best solution to this matter is for the two sides to make peace, and the Guiyi City temporarily occupied by Ganqi will be returned to the Liao, and both sides will return to their previous state and live in peace.

But Zhao Shu unconsciously had some expectations for Gan Qi in his heart, so he couldn't help but think about some lucky things, whether he could not return the occupied Guiyi City to the Liao people? Treat Guiyi City as a sharp blade inserted in the hearts of the Liao people, so that the Liao people will no longer dare to act rashly? In this case, the inside has all the face, and Da Song will take a big advantage this time. He, Zhao Shu, the emperor, should also record this great victory with the Liao people in the history books.

As for how not to return Guiyi City, it is natural for Gan Qi to think of a way, such as defending Guiyi City and repelling the Liao army in Guiyi City, so that the Liao people have nothing to do, after all, the city is always easy to defend. When the time comes, when the Liao people are helpless, won't they still shake hands and make peace?

"Your Majesty, you can't wait any longer, if you wait any longer, even if the Liao people are just for face, they will send troops around, and hundreds of thousands of troops will go south, then it will really be endless, how many soldiers and horses can Gan Daojian have? plus the army supported by Di Qing, it was less than 30,000. Is it really necessary to send hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the country to help Ganchi? Not to mention the misery of the living beings, this soldier and horse have not moved, the grain and grass go first, and hundreds of thousands of troops are spent, where will they be raised? "Fu Bi is seeking truth from facts, this court really can't withstand a big war of this scale.

Fu Bi's words also brought Zhao Shu back to reality, Zhao Shu licked his lips, a little dry. The Liao State is still the strong Liao State, and there are really hundreds of thousands of troops, no matter how much you expect from Gan Qi, you can't expect Gan Qi to confront the hundreds of thousands of Liao troops with 20,000 or 30,000 people.

Zhao Shu extinguished his anger and asked, "What does Zeng Xiang think?" ”

Zeng Gongliang replied: "Your Majesty, since Gan Daojian has some advantages at this time, it is also a good opportunity to make peace, and such a bad thing has become a good thing, and the matter of the Khitan people dying in Bianliang has also been revealed." There is no need to cut the land, and there is no need to pay compensation, and I have won a victory on the face, but everyone is happy. ”

Zeng Gongliang is also pragmatic, if he really wants to start a national war with Liao like he did decades ago, this court is really a little powerless. What's more, there is still a party wolf in the northwest, so how could the party members in the Western Xia miss such a good opportunity? All things considered, it is still the safest to say peace.

Zhao Shu nodded, also discouraged, but after listening to Zeng Gongliang's words, he also felt that he had earned it, the matter of the Khitan people being killed in Bianliang City was perfectly resolved, and he won another battle on the face. Taking the initiative to make peace at the time of victory also shows the demeanor of a great country, and it can also deter the party members, so that the party members know that the army of the Great Song Dynasty is still so capable of fighting.

Thinking about it so much, it is acceptable, Zhao Shu opened his mouth and said: "Then quickly send the son of Zeng Xiang to Guiyi to pass the decree, and if the Taoist is good, accept it, and mediate well." ”

When the people of the Manchu Dynasty heard the emperor say this, they were all relieved, and when they came in just now, they were panicked, shouting, scolding, and crying, but at this time, there were many people with a little joy on their faces.

It's also a spectacle.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Shengming, Zhao Shu also laughed, it was rare for the civil and military forces of the Manchu Dynasty to bow down and shout "Shengming", this was the first time that Zhao Shu had this kind of treatment after he ascended the throne.

After discussing it in Tokyo City, and the holy decree was quickly prepared, Zeng Xiaokuan once again rushed to Hebei to let Gan Qi stop the war and mediate.

But who knows, in just a few days after the letters came and went, Gan Qi had already arrived in Yanjing City, and he was only separated by a wall from the Liao Emperor in Yanjing City.

Strike and mediate?

That's impossible.

Even Gan Qi had already taken a car out of the camp, not only did Gan Qi leave the camp, but Gan Qi also used the frame used to transport grain and grass from Guiyi to transport more than 10,000 people out of the camp.

This is the dark Chen Cang, and I don't want to be known by people in Yanjing City. Therefore, the frame was loaded with grain and grass into the camp, and in the middle of the night, people were arranged to get into the car and be transported out.

Only about 10,000 men were transported, because Ganchi had to make sure that the camp still looked full.

In order to secretly Chen Cang, Di Qing, who stayed in the camp, sent more people to patrol the city outside the city, and the four gates were even more stared at, not teaching Yanjing City that one person could enter and exit, and try to block the news as much as possible.

The 100,000 Liao troops who came back from Luanzhou were rushing to Yanjing to come to the rescue. There have been countless bandits behind him, and the bandits are naturally following more and more.

Di Yong did his best to coerce him along the way, and the army under his command became bigger and bigger.

One hundred and ten miles east of Yanjing City, there is Lu County, which is also the later Tong County, and there is a large area in the south of Lu County, called Yanfangdian.

The term lake means a shallow lake or wetland, and the most famous lake in the country is Baiyangdian.

Yanfangdian is a wetland, and there will still be Yanfangdian Wetland Park in later generations. It's just that the Yanfangdian wetland in later generations is not big, only more than 1,000 hectares, 20,000 acres.

But in the Liao Dynasty Yanfangdian is different, according to the "Liao History, Geography" record, the Liao Yanfangdian, a radius of hundreds of miles, covering the later generations of Miao County, Langfang edge, Caiyu, Maju Bridge, Dayangfang, the name of the place comes from Yanfangdian, Dayangfang used to be called Yangfangdian, is the homonym of Yanfangdian.

Yanfangdian in a radius of hundreds of miles, is the favorite hunting ground of the Liao emperor, historical records, if the Liao emperors of the past dynasties lived in Yanjing, went out of Yanjing to the east, not far to Yanfangdian, the most prey in Yanfangdian is countless birds, swans, geese, wild ducks, countless, the emperor of Liao likes to come here to hunt these big birds.

Gan Qi plotted, the battlefield of this battle of encirclement and reinforcement was in Yanfangdian, which covers an area of hundreds of miles east of Yanjing City.
