Ku Tu Ra and Han Shizhong were attacking Taizhou and Changchun Prefecture in two ways, and the battle was inseparable. Finally, a piece of paper from Huining arrived, and the Jin army in the city received the news, "Wan Yan Sheng is dead, and Yan Zongfu has passed on the throne, announcing the surrender of Dajin to the Great Song Dynasty", so they had to open the door and surrender.

The emperor and the court are gone, who are they fighting for?

The situation took a turn for the worse, and before Ku Tu Ra and Han Shizhong had time to react, the Jin army opened the city and surrendered. The siege plan had to be scrapped.

The situation was basically decided, Qu Ping ordered Qu Tuye to stay in Huining Mansion for the time being, and ordered Yelu Daqi to ask for envoys for the Northeast Road to continue to expand the territory for the Great Song Dynasty.

Further northeast is a sparsely populated place, there is no need to fight at all, as long as Song Qi goes, it is Song land.

Qu Ping ordered Yelu Daqi to ask for envoys for the Northeast Road, in fact, it was also a personal favor, so that Yelu Daqi could earn more credit, and when he turned back to speak for him on the emperor, it would not appear pale.

Everything was over, the Song soldiers were homesick, and the weather was cold, so Qu Ping led a large army to escort the Jin royal family and the long-enslaved Song family relatives who had been liberated, and returned to Beijing with a banner of glory and glory.

Of course, precious things such as jade seals and gold and silver treasures are indispensable.

Hundreds of thousands of people marched south, the snow melted away and the birds flew in awe.

At first, the royal family of the Jin Dynasty was worried that the Song people would abuse them and not give them food and clothing.

The army marched to Huanglong Mansion, and Han Shizhong had already received the news and brought his troops to wait for Qu Ping here.

But Kutura did not come to return to his life, but sent Qin Han to come.

Now that the situation has been settled, and there is no resistance in various places, Kutura should come to ask for credit, why do the opposite?

Qu Ping asked Qin Han: "What's the matter, didn't you ask you to mention him more?" ”

Qin Han said helplessly: "Marshal, Hu Tu is now stubborn and self-serving, I'm afraid he has different intentions!" ”

Qu Ping became cautious in his heart, the Jin Kingdom had just been destroyed, and he was a moth. I want to see if it is a plot to do wrong, or whether Qin Han is slanderous.

"What do you mean by that?" Qu Ping asked calmly.

Qin Han enumerated: "There are two suspicious points. The first point is that Khuturakhan has completely isolated me in the later years, and all matters have not been known to me; The second point is that Linhuang and Taizhou are still the Mongol army of Kutula, and even the officials sent by the emperor to take over government affairs have been hollowed out by him for various reasons. ”

"How can such a thing happen? Kutula, who lent him the guts! What exactly does he want to do? Can't he see how the Jin Dynasty died? Qu Ping said angrily.

Han Shizhong said to himself: "No wonder he wants to attack one city in two ways with my soldiers. ”

Qu Ping was angry, anxious in his heart, and secretly said that he must pull my Anda back from the edge of the cliff as soon as possible.

He said, "I will take five thousand cavalry and personally meet my Anda for a while." Jiang Boyan, you select 200 elite soldiers from the Shenji Battalion and bring ten cannons, come with me! General Han, you lead the army to escort the prisoners and the spoils of war to Dading and wait for me first. ”

"Yes!" Han Shizhong said, "Marshal, are you enough to bring five thousand men and horses?" ”

Qu Ping said: "I myself am a thousand troops! ”

Han Shizhong saw that Qu Ping was angry, so he didn't say much, and said bluntly that Qu Ping should pay attention to safety, and if there was something to do, he would come to help as soon as possible.

"By the way, when you go to Qingyun, check the matter of the first emperor's abduction." Qu Ping added.

Han Shizhong nodded and agreed, the matter of the first emperor is a major event in the world.

Qu Ping led the army to the northwest all the way to the outside of Taizhou City, considering that there might be some Xingshi to raise the army to ask for the guilt, and in case he suddenly tried to be embarrassed and angry, he would release the water on the spot, which would not be good.

So, Qu Ping ordered Jiang Boyan to lead the army to wait ten miles outside the city, and he rode alone to see Kutula.

Jiang Boyan instructed Qu Ping to be careful, and if there was an accident, he would immediately lead the troops to save him.

The gate of Taizhou City is guarded by Mongolian troops, and the people who come and go in must be carefully checked.

Qu Ping entered the city, led his horse and walked down the street, when he heard a whispered conversation between the two in an open-air tea shop on the side of the road, and the content of the conversation attracted Qu Ping's attention.

Bend the tips of your ears and hear clearly.

One said: "Brother He, we have come here from thousands of mountains and rivers, but we are here to drink the northwest wind." When do you think Khuturakhan will be able to really hand over the affairs of politics to us? We were sent by the emperor! ”

Another said, "He is always making excuses to prevaricate, do you think we need to explain everything to the higher authorities now?" ”

"Wait a little longer, otherwise you and I will be too useless."

"I wish my brother a good look."

Qu Ping scolded in his heart, these are two cowards who met a robber.

Qu Ping walked straight over, stood behind the two of them and said, "Get up, follow me to see Kutula!" ”

Zhu and He looked at Qu Ping in fright, thinking that the people who had been huddled heard about it and were going to be dragged to ask for the guilt, but looking at Qu Ping's dress, he didn't look like a Mengren.

"Who are you?" Lord He asked cautiously.

"Qu Ping!"

Congratulations to the two silently reciting Qu Ping's son, glanced at each other, suddenly realized, and knelt on the ground together: "Please Lord Guogong make the decision for us!" ”

Qu Ping turned around and walked first: "Let's go, take me to see Kutula." ”

Congratulations to the two adults for not daring to slack off, hurriedly went out of the tea shop, led the way in front, and took Qu Ping to see Kutula.

Kutu Ra Zheng and the altar were worried in the yamen of the state capital, and their minds were entangled. Wonderful Pen Court

Yesterday, I received a letter from the Mongolian headquarters, saying that the Great Song Emperor wanted to set up three cities, Moxi, Mobei, and Modong, and that the three cities would serve as the three military and administrative centers of the Mobei steppe.

Moxi is the original barbarian boundary, and now it is built by Zhang Jun; Mobei City is the beggar department, and the superintendent Khutu Ra Khan is responsible for the construction; The site of Modong City is still under consideration, and it should be in the area of the original Tatar Department.

The heads of the three military and political centers have not yet been clearly confirmed, but it is certain that Khuturashi will be in charge of Mozhong.

The altar said: "Khan, the emperor is going to divide the grassland into three regions and govern them separately. ”

Kutu said angrily: "Then my desire to dominate the grassland will not be shattered!" The Moxi, Mobei, and Modong in the mouth of the Great Song Emperor were all brought down by the hard work of our Mongolian Ministry with blood, tears and sweat, and he of the Great Song Emperor Chrysostom was going to take it away as soon as he opened it! ”

"It seems that you still haven't recognized your identity as a subordinate of the Great Song Dynasty!" Qu Ping walked in suddenly, his tone disappointed.

Seeing that it was Qu Ping who suddenly broke in with congratulations, he squeezed out a smile and said, "Qu An answered? Why didn't the guards say a word, come on, come on, please sit down. ”

Qu Ping sat down and said, "I am the Khan's answer, do you still need to report it?" Or is there something you can't tell? ”

Kutula said, "Nothing. Come on, watch the tea! ”

"No need." Qu Ping raised his hand to signal that the tea would be free, and then let the two congratulatory adults behind him also sit down.

Qu Ping continued: "We are an answer who bows in front of the Immortal Heaven, and if you have any ideas, let's just say it." ”

Qu Ping has the grace of saving his life to Kutura, and he has the grace of helping and supporting, so to speak, without Qu Ping, there is no Kutura, and there is no Mongolian department.

"Good. Then I'll say it straight in front of Qu An. The emperor wants to divide the Mobei grassland into three parts to rule, I have an idea! Kutula said straight to the point.

Ku Tu Ra didn't beat around the bush, and Qu Ping still admired his courage. Ku Tu didn't tell Qu Ping, and he couldn't find anyone else to complain.

Qu Ping said: "Say it directly." ”

Kutura said: "The land of Mobei is all bought by the life and blood and sweat of my Mongolian army in Kutura, and An Da also promised me my desire to unify the grassland, so I will divide them from my side, I am not convinced!"

Qu Ping said: "Okay, then I'll give you a logical order first." Is the rise of the Beggar Department indispensable to my Qu Ping's contributions? ”

“…… Be. Kutura thought for a moment and plucked up the courage to admit.

"The strength of the Mongolian Department was not supported by the manpower and material resources of the Great Song Dynasty in the early stage?"

“…… Be. ”

"The land of Moxi and Modong that we are talking about now, is it either overt or covertly with the help of my Great Song Dynasty?"

“…… Also. ”

The Naiban Department was eliminated by the Zhang Jun Department of the Song Army, and the Eastern Expedition was also indispensable to the efforts of Qin Han Xinzan, and the elimination of Yan Zongxian and the capture of Linhuang was indispensable to Qin Hui's tricks.

"Last but not least, are you a subject to the Great Song Dynasty?"

The question is sharp, very direct, and it goes straight to the heart.

Kutu gritted his teeth and admitted, "Yes! ”

"Then what else do you have to complain about?" Qu Ping asked, "If it weren't for me meeting you, saving you, and helping you, if it wasn't for the Great Song Dynasty helping you in Mongolia, there would still be other tribes today, and the tribes supported by the Great Song Dynasty would have taken your position today!" ”

Kutura lowered his head and whispered, "Yes." ”

Qu Ping asked the altar again: "What do you think?" ”

He shook the altar and said, "The Mongol Ministry is absolutely obedient to the imperial court. ”

Kutura hesitated for a moment, and said a little unnaturally: "Kutura has no two hearts!" ”

"That's good. I wish my lord, my lord, to ask the khan for advice on the military and political affairs in the city as soon as possible. Qu Ping said.

The two congratulated themselves happily and said, "Yes!" ”

Qu Ping said to Ku Tura again: "Answer, pack your bags, and return to Beijing with me to resume your life, the emperor will definitely reward all the meritorious ministers this time." There is also Mount Tai Feng Zen, and An Answer is estimated to have a place. ”

Kutura's face opened the sunrise, and he replied with a smile: "Uh, Haole, obey the marshal's orders!" Put the altar, you take the soldiers back to Mongolia, no, go back to Mobei City, go back and build Mobei City! ”

The altar happily received the order and said: "Yes, I will never disappoint the marshal's entrustment!" ”

Ku Tu asked weakly: "Can you find out, who is responsible for Moxi and Modong?" ”

"The emperor has always advocated that the localities dominated by other ethnic groups should be adapted to local conditions and autonomy should be the mainstay. Of course, in order to promote the vigorous development of the local area and the harmony and unity of the whole nation, I will definitely send people of insight from the imperial court to participate in the planning and assist you. Qu Ping said.

Hu Tu said yes, and said in his heart: "I don't know who Moxi and Modong will have the honor to call the shots, it won't be the enemy of the past, and the court doesn't guarantee that it won't do this in order to contain itself." Maybe for the sake of harmony and friendship among the three places, it is not certain that the emperor ordered his brother to be the ruler. Forget it, why do you want to do so much, the emperor and the court will arrange it, and you can't change it if you want to. ”

An hour later, Kutula and Qu Ping rode side by side to ten miles outside the city.

Seeing that Jiang Boyan was stationed here with so many soldiers, horses and cannons, a cold sweat broke out in his heart, fortunately he didn't have a dead brain, otherwise he would have to understand the power of the cannon.

When will the imperial court also distribute a few cannons to themselves to have a good time, Hu Tu thought.

A month later, Qu Ping led his troops to Dading Mansion.

Han Shizhong marched slowly with the captive, and he had just entered Dading on the front foot.

Now all the newly conquered places have been stationed in the office, and there are many soldiers in the army who have responded to the call of the imperial court and left the army to join the military and political departments in various parts of the former Jin State, making large and small contributions to the construction and stability of the local situation.

These officials who came from the south of the Great Wall were later given a resounding name, "Officials from the North".
