…

The Japanese ministers and nobles in Kyoto were collectively shocked when they learned that Zhoufang, Nagato, and Shikoku Island had all been broken by the Liangshan army!

It was suggested that Emperor Shirakawa surrender to Shuibo Liangshan.

It was suggested that samurai, monks, and reservists from Gyeonggi and Kanto be transferred to Kyoto.

There were also people who secretly discussed that Emperor Shirakawa and Emperor Toba, who had provoked Li Yan's anger, were arrested and presented to Li Yan and Tamamo to quell the war.

Wait a minute......

Emperor Shirakawa has been in charge of Japan for decades, and his political methods are still relatively clever and ruthless.

He first cleared out all those who wanted to capture him and dedicate him to Li Yan and Tamamo, and then transferred all the samurai, monks, and reservists from Gyeonggi and Kanto to Kannai (that is, west of Suzuka (later Mie Prefecture), Hokuriku Province Fupo (later Gifu Prefecture), and Higashiyamado Aifa (later Fukui Prefecture)), and then the northern line was guarded according to Sanguan, and the southern line was guarded by heavy troops.

At the same time, he continued to send envoys to discuss with Li Yan about the claim of tribute—this time, Emperor Shirakawa did not mention where it was ceded, but only said that he wanted to leave the region to live for the rest of his life.

The region is bordered by the central and western parts of Honshu, the Chubu region to the east, the Chugoku region to the west, the Seto Inland Sea, Osaka Bay, and the Pacific Ocean to the south, and Wakasa Bay and the Sea of Japan to the north.

Let's ask, how could Li Yan let the Japanese ministers and nobles occupy this important land?

What's more, they still have hundreds of thousands of samurai, monks, and reserves in their hands, which seriously endangers the stability of Li Yan's Japan.

Therefore, it has been fought to this extent, and no matter how much price is paid, Li Yan will have to destroy Japan in one go, and then completely occupy Japan.

Therefore, Li Yan gritted his teeth and sent another 150,000 troops to the Right Route Army to prepare for a general decisive battle with Japan.

Counting these 150,000 troops, there are already more than 350,000 Liangshan troops in Japan, and these are all the main forces of the Liangshan army.

What is this concept?

Li Yan had a total of more than 400,000 main forces, of which 100,000 were defending the Jin Army in the north, and more than 60,000 were stationed at various important points in Shuibo Liangshan (more than 30,000 on Taiwan Island, more than 10,000 on the Jiaodong Peninsula, 3,000 each on Hainan Island, Jeju Island, Huating County, and Dongguan County, and more than 10,000 in various ports on the Korean Peninsula. The rest is all in Japan.

It can be said that Li Yan is also fighting for the country.

In this case, Li Yan really couldn't sit still in Seoul - if the Liangshan army was defeated in this battle, then Li Yan would have worked hard for nearly ten years and returned to the pre-liberation period.

Therefore, Li Yan brought Yuzao and Li Yu to Japan to prepare to personally take charge of this battle.

Why did Li Yan bring Yuzao Qian and Li Yu?

This is because many people have suggested to Li Yan to attack Japan and govern Japan in the name of Tamamo, and then let Li Yan and Tamamo's son serve as the emperor of Japan.

Doing so will make the Japanese less resistant, after all, the whole of Japan is rumored that Tamamo will replace Emperor Toba in charge of Japan, and Tamamo is a true Japanese.

When Li Yan, Yuzaoqian, and Li Yu arrived at the front line, Xu Guanzhong and others had already begun to lay out for the decisive battle, and in addition, the Left Route Army had also reached the three passes and made a knocking trend.

I don't know if it's a coincidence, Xu Guanzhong and the decisive place they chose for the decisive battle turned out to be Nasuno.

……

Tong Guan failed to recover Yanyun by force, and twice defeated the declining Liao army, which exposed the weakness of the Song army, which made Zhao Ji angry.

Wang Hao and Liang Shicheng saw that there was an opportunity, so they jointly recommended Tan Zhi to replace Tong Guan as the Xuanfu envoy of Hedong, Yanshanfu Road and Hebei Road.

Zhao Ji readily agreed, and Tan Zhi was stationed in Hedong to take full charge of national defense in the northwest and north.

Tan Ji's prestige and power cannot be compared with Tong Guan at all, Zhao Ji was worried that Tong Guan would interfere with Tan Zhi, which would not be conducive to Tan Zhi's work, so soon after, Zhao Ji issued an edict ordering Tong Guan to be in the name of the former Taishi and the envoy of Shenxiao Palace.

After Tan Zhi went to Hedong, he found that the situation in Hedong was very complicated.

At this time, the Jin army had expanded to the border of Western Xia, and Li Qianshun was a little scared, so he did not dare to continue to take in Emperor Tianzuo.

As a result, Emperor Tianzuo left gloomily and returned to Jiashan, intending to organize an army to make a comeback.

Subsequently, in order to protect himself, Li Qianshun decided to claim vassal to the Jin State.

Jin Guo readily agreed.

After the Western Xia became a vassal, the Jin State promised to cede a large area of land north of Xiazhai, south of Yinshan, and west of Yishi Ila Tululuo to Western Xia.

Western Xia promised not to rescue Emperor Tianzuo again, and if Emperor Tianzuo arrived at his border, he would be sent.

In order to further implement the peace agreement with the Western Xia, Zong Han sent Salumu to secretly send an envoy to the Western Xia, and specifically detailed the land promised to be ceded to the Western Xia: Tiande, Yunnei, Wuzhou, Hedong Douda, Sira, Haodong, Yeque, Shenya, Yulin, Baoda, and Yumin, in addition to the Jinsu and Heqing armies in Hexi.

Zong Han's condition was that Western Xia must send troops to attack Linzhou (later Shenmu, Shaanxi) in order to contain the trend of Hedong.

Zong Han's purpose in making such a deployment was, on the one hand, to open a net to capture Emperor Tianzuo, and on the other hand, to create some trouble for the Song State and prevent the Song State from digesting the Yanyun region with peace of mind.

These secret transactions between the Jin State and the Western Xia State were not known to the Song State.

The main reason for this is that Tan Zhi did not focus on the outside world - his mind was mainly used at home.

Soon after Tan Zhi took office, he heard many negative questions about Chang Shengjun and Guo Yaoshi.

Tan Zhi immediately played these negative issues of Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun to Zhao Ji.

With the increasing strength of the army, the Changsheng army has gradually occupied a large area of land and major passes in Yanshan.

As the commander of the Changsheng Army, Guo Yaoshi is arrogant, deceiving superiors and subordinates, often not listening to the moderation of Yanshan Mansion, and people are all talking in private: If it is allowed to develop, it is likely to become a second An Lushan.

In fact, this problem is not only Tan Zhi who has reacted to Zhao Ji, Zhan Du has also played secretly many times, saying that Guo Yaoshi has a poor character, is suspicious, and is very unreliable.

This caused Zhao Ji's vigilance and uneasiness, and then he also wanted to solve this hidden danger.

But now most of the army of the Song army has rotted to the bone, and the Western Army has to guard the Western Xia, which has been moving a lot recently, so that Zhao Ji really can't find an army that can replace the Changsheng Army to guard Yandi.

After some investigation and thinking, Tan Zhi suggested to Zhao Ji: Set up another team of about 50,000 people in Hedong, mainly recruit Han people in the Yun and Shuo areas, and let them guard in the key places of each prefecture and county, called the "Yisheng Army", and let Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong serve as the chief and deputy commanders, so as to resist the Changsheng Army, and also make Guo Yaoshi fearful.

Zhao Ji felt that Tan Zhen's suggestion was very good, and quickly approved it.

Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong were both Hedong guards, and they were familiar with the topography and population of the Yunzhong region.

After receiving the order, Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong immediately began to recruit troops.

They selected those who were young and strong from among the returnees, registered their names, established military registrations, and paid military salaries.

In the Song Dynasty, there were so-called "reformed people", "Ming people" and "returnees", all of whom were special groups formed by the Song Dynasty in dealing with the relations with the surrounding ethnic minorities and their state power.

Reformed people refer to those who were originally from the Central Plains, later fell into Fanbang, and then returned to the Central Plains, and are people who have returned to righteousness by self-righteousness.

Returning to the Ming refers to people who are not from the Central Plains, but ethnic minorities outside the Central Plains.

The people who returned to the dynasty specifically refer to the Han people who were originally from the Yanyun region and returned to the Song Dynasty.

Due to years of war, a large number of displaced people appeared in the Yanyun area, and they basically belonged to the Returned Dynasty and met the recruitment conditions, so they came to sign up and joined the Yisheng Army.

The treatment of the Yisheng Army was extremely favorable, and even attracted many soldiers of the Changsheng Army to secretly run to enlist.

Guo Yaoshi was very panicked about the establishment of the Yisheng Army, especially after the soldiers of the Changsheng Army continued to secretly go to the Yisheng Army.

In order to prevent the situation from escalating, Guo Yaoshi ordered that the insignia of the victorious army be engraved on the faces of all soldiers to prevent them from escaping.

This practice of Guo Yaoshi aroused the dissatisfaction of the soldiers of the Changsheng Army, and made everyone complain, and the morale of the army was very unstable.

This made Guo Yaoshi secretly hate Zhao Ji and the Song court!

The generous treatment of the Yisheng Army not only dissatisfied the Changsheng army, but also made the Song army very dissatisfied.

In the eyes of the soldiers of the Song army, the Han people of Yanyun are still "Fanren" and "Han'er", so they are often looked down upon by the soldiers of the Song army.

According to the policy of the imperial court, the monthly rations and clothing of the Yisheng army were twice as large as those of the other Song troops, and the Song army ate old grain, while the Yisheng army ate new grain, so the Song army was very unbalanced, which led to the Song soldiers meeting the soldiers of the Yisheng Army on the road, and often insulting them: "You are a new person, and my officers and soldiers also eat Chen, I am not as good as a fanren?" I'm going to punish you! ”

Not only were the soldiers of the Song army very unfriendly to the Yanyun Han people, but the common people of the Song State were also very disrespectful to the Yanyun Han people, and they also regarded them as "Fan people".

And the attitude of the Song court towards the Yanyun Han people was actually very ambiguous, not only suspicious of them and distrustful of them, but also wanted to win them over and use them.

This made the Yanyun Han people both afraid of the Song people and hated the Song people.

Slowly, the Yanyun Han people began to be disappointed and even desperate in the Song Kingdom, thinking that the Song Kingdom was not only far worse than Shuibo Liangshan, but also might not be as good as the Jin Kingdom and Western Xia!
