Youyan's wind and clouds changed abruptly, and the Yan King Yelu was heroic, and he killed all his relatives.

In this way, Yelu Dashi, who stayed behind, became the actual controller of Yanjing City, and Yelu Dashi, who didn't want to die in Yanjing in vain, chose to ask Yang Lin for help.

On the condition that Emperor He and Emperor Liao accept him, he got Yanjing for nothing, and on this day, the army marched out and entered the city.

The Jurchens outside the city were surprisingly calm, as if they were watching them enter the city, and the killing and looting around them had been much lighter in recent days.

After driving to the city, the soldiers are all rejoicing, this is Yanjing City, the history books of later generations are bound to record this day, and add endless beautiful words. Yang Lin, the commander of the three armies, rode into the city, his face was calm, and he pulled the reins and didn't even bother to watch Yanjing City.

Han Shizhong, who had already prepared for a fierce battle at the head of the city, scratched his head and said to himself: "Strange, why is this golden dog so quiet, isn't there some trickery?" ”

"it, the young rulers have all entered the city, and I'm afraid that they will do something." Hu Yantong scolded nonchalantly.

Han Shizhong nodded, and said: "That's right, regardless of him, the thieves have nothing to fear, now we have taken half of Youyan's military states, and we will kill them all on the land of Youyan as soon as possible, and avenge the brothers under the city of Zhuozhou." Let's go, go with me to meet Shaozai. ”

Many people in the city are no longer afraid of the Song army, and compared with the previous Liao soldiers, these new soldiers are more like their own troops guarding the city.

Han Shizhong was born in the Western Army, and the Western Army is known for its loose military discipline, but after this Po Han Wu established his own army, he established strict military discipline. To put it bluntly, the poor military discipline of the Western Army at the beginning was due to the deliberate manipulation of the Northwest Generals, because there was no food baggage, and it was necessary to feed the war with war.

As a veteran at the bottom, how could Han Shizhong not understand the importance of strict military discipline to a newly established team, so the place where the army was established was very restricted, so that it could be forbidden. In particular, they began to fight in places like Dali and Tubo, and if they were not careful, it would be easy to arouse the resistance of the local Tibetan people, and the gains outweighed the losses.

Therefore, these Song troops have controlled Yanjing for a long time, and the people are also relieved, compared to their fellow villagers in the north outside the city, their situation is good.

To the north of the Gaoliang River, at this time it was already a purgatory-like Shura area, and these people curiously watched the Song army entering the city. Although no major wars broke out on the Song-Liao border, there were often small fights, so there were very few people-to-people exchanges between the two countries.

The people of Yanjing, many customs and clothing still preserve the legacy of the late Tang Dynasty and the five dynasties, and they can't help but point out and evaluate these soldiers of the old country.

Han Shizhong and the others pushed aside the crowd, and when they saw Yang Lin, they looked overjoyed, and stepped forward to lead the horse and said, "Shaozai." ”

Yang Lin came to his senses from his contemplation, glanced down, jumped off his horse and walked side by side with them: "In Yanjing City, it is still calm, and you must restrain your soldiers and not disturb the people." Just won this place, the most important thing for us is to stabilize people's hearts and make a good living, so that we can be regarded as firmly in our hands. The so-called strong dragon does not suppress the head snake, some small things can be retreated, of course, if it is something that cannot be compromised, it must also be done to death, leaving no trouble, understand? ”

"Don't worry, Shaozai, there are a few people who are making a fuss, and they have been thrown into the moat." After Han Shizhong finished speaking, he said with a smile: "Shaozai, that Yelu Dashi is interesting, and the Khitan soldiers and horses under his command hardly leave the barracks. Just send someone every day to ask when you are going into the city, do you want to ask him to come and see him? ”

Yang Lin patted him on the shoulder, looked a little unnatural, and said, "No, I'll see you when I'm free." ”

Han Shizhong smelled something strange at once, it stands to reason that Shaozai entered the city, no matter what the peace is, he should meet people first, right? Don't... What is the plan of the calculators?

As he expected, after arriving at the small courtyard that was cleaned up, Yang Lin called Han Shizhong and the others over, and wrinkled his eyebrows and said, "I have already sent someone to negotiate peace with the Jurchen Tartars." ”

As soon as this remark came out, everyone was shocked, and they discussed peace? It's only been a few days since the fight, so whatever you say about peace, you can talk about peace.

Yang Lin saw everyone's reaction, and immediately said: "Our army of the Great Song Dynasty only needs to protect the Song Realm, why should we work for the Khitans." To put it mildly, the Khitans don't ride on our heads for a few days. Just last year, the imperial court also paid 200,000 yuan of annual coins, how many people can be fed with this money? ”

Everyone understands the reason, but you just formed an alliance with someone else, and you sold someone in a blink of an eye, it's not suitable. The benefits brought to the Great Song Dynasty by the Song-Liao Covenant have all been obtained, and it would be too cruel for the Liao people to tear up the contract at this time.

Han Shizhong asked, "Shaozai, what are the conditions for peace?" ”

"The Jurchens withdrew from Youyan, and our people withdrew their troops from Yunzhou Mansion. I didn't attack the Khitan again, it's already kind, right? At the beginning of the chaos in the Central Plains, these people took advantage of the fire to rob and forcibly occupy the entire north of the Yangtze River. ”

After Yang Lin finished speaking, he still felt a little weak, so he coughed lightly and said, "Anyway, this matter has to be done like this, so that we can get the greatest benefit." But don't make it too obvious, especially if you find a good reason, otherwise it will be bad for my reputation. If it really didn't work, we negotiated secretly with the Jurchens, and said that in order to let them raid Yunzhou and paralyze the Liao people, we would not make it public. ”

All the generals are all cold, you still know that you want to be famous, this repeated villain is done, it is indeed possible to make the Great Song Dynasty effortlessly get Youyan... First forming an alliance with the Khitan, and then negotiating peace with the Jurchens, it was really capricious.

Everyone got together, and they couldn't think of any reason to withdraw the 130,000 Western Army from Yunzhou Mansion openly, so Yao Pingzhong was in the Yunzhou Mansion, and he ambushed the Jurchen Tartars three times, and he had already gained prestige.

At this time, the Khitan people relied on him as the pillar of Yunzhou, and they would not let him go easily.

Everyone is discussing in full swing, Yang Lin's operations are indeed not gentlemanly, but in this way, Da Song's losses will be minimized. A civil official is a civil official, and the pit people only need their brains and mouths, and they can take back Youyan from such a battle array to play a power trick.

After getting up, he came to the outside of the small courtyard and took a few breaths of fresh air, and the corners of Yang Lin's mouth smiled unexpectedly. The strategy in his own mind was not completely explained to the generals in the account, because it was to be kept secret, and it was kept secret to the point that only he knew.

Take back Youyan? That's too underestimating me, the sixteen states of Youyun, in addition to the ten military states of Youyan, there are also six near Yunzhou. In case the Jurchen soldiers who were bought by Wanyan Wu begged to arrive at Yunzhou Mansion smoothly, and Yao Pingzhong withdrew his troops, then Yelu Yanxi would be finished. Yunzhou Datong Mansion and the entire Xijing Road are bound to fall into the hands of the Jurchen.... Why? That is the real homeland of the Han family, Youyan is, and Yunzhou is even more.

The Jurchen Tartars want to leave easily after burning and killing in Yandi for a while, it is simply a fool's dream, Lao Tzu first tricked you into withdrawing troops to Yunzhou, and then let Yao Pingzhong's soldiers and horses withdraw from Yunzhou to Youyan, so that on the way from Yunzhou to Youyan, the two armies will meet.

When Lao Tzu waved the order flag, Youyan more than 200,000 soldiers and horses, and the Western Army under Yao Pingzhong, flanked back and forth. If you don't wipe out this half of the main force of your Jurchen Tartars, what will you fight in the future? We are secretly negotiating peace, you think it is a pit Khitan, and when the time comes, you will be bitter and unspeakable. He only said that he was withdrawing troops in order to finish fighting Yan Wu and begging to buy this way, and the Khitan people couldn't say anything else except to be grateful to Dade, but at that time, the remnants of the Khitan mountains and rivers and Yelu Yanxi had gathered troops and horses, and I am afraid there was not much left.

At this time, it is the best opportunity, as long as he and Yao Pingzhong win a big victory, the Khitans will inevitably resist again in the vast territory of the Khitan that has just been conquered.

The Jurchens controlled such a large empire from a small tribe, and there will definitely be internal and external troubles, and most of them will not fight with themselves in Youyun at that time. Even if he wants to fight, Song Jiang should have dealt with the Khan of the Western Regions at that time, and when the time comes, it will be a big deal to fight against soldiers and generals, and fight openly and honestly. The Great Song Dynasty is now strong and strong, the internal worries have been calmed, Dali, Tubo, and Western Xia have also been included in the Song Dynasty, and there is nothing to be afraid of in the war. When we didn't have the barrier of Youyun, we couldn't beat it, and now with the defense of the city, the worst thing can also be mixed up to keep the enemy out of the country.

Thinking of this, Yang Lin smiled even more happily, there happened to be a delicate peach blossom in the small courtyard, Yang Lin stepped forward and folded it gently, put it in front of his nose and sniffed, and sighed: "This Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, accustomed to seeing bloody rain and bloody winds, wolf smoke everywhere, Hu Ma fishy, swords and arrows broken halberds, it should also be a day full of flowers... Well, incense! ”
