…

After the Dao of the Planter was dumbfounded, it did not mean that no one in the Western Army dared to stand up.

Seeing that the seed master was silent, Yang Keshi stood up and said, "Taishi, how to arrange the overall strategic deployment of this dispatch?" What is the situation on the Liao army's side? These are not clear, and the subordinates think that they should study it carefully, come up with a detailed plan before acting, and do not rush out. ”

Yang Keshi is known for his boldness, and he was cultivated and promoted by Tong Guan, so he dared to speak in front of Tong Guan.

Without waiting for Tong Guan to reply, He Shu sneered: "General Yang, you boast of being a little brave and capable of fighting 10,000 people on weekdays, why are you so cowardly now?" What do you mean by that? Want to spoil the official family? ”

Tong Guan then said: "What He Zhizhou said is good, raising troops for a thousand days and using soldiers for a while, you must lift your spirits, strive to be warriors, carry forward the military prestige of my Great Song Dynasty, and let the Liao army lose fear when they hear the wind...... At present, the Liao State is dying under the blow of the Jurchens, the Liao Emperor has fled to Jiashan, the Yan King Yeluchun usurped the throne and became the emperor, and the officials and people all over Yanjing are looking forward to the king's division, so you must keep in mind the three strategies of the official family to resist the enemy, and strive to recover Yanjing without a fight! ”

After listening to Tong Guan's praise, He Shu felt very happy and felt that his lost face had finally been regained.

He Xu stood up and said: "The people of Yandi are now living in dire straits, if the golden drum sounds, they will definitely tie their necks side by side, and eat pot pulp to welcome the king." ”

Speaking of this, He Shu looked at Tong Guan, and said loudly: "The lower officials suggest that in the name of the Xuanfu Division, Zhang Huangbang will be shown to the public, and inform the officials and people of Yanjing that if they can come to sacrifice the state and county, it will be given to the high-ranking officials!" ”

Tong Guan agreed with He Xu's suggestion, and when he ordered Liu Tao, the staff officer of the marching army, who was the father of Liu Ziyu, an important strategist under Li Yan, to draft a list of surrenders.

Liu Tao's surrender list is written like this:

Youyan side, originally my realm, fell into the Khitan for nearly 200 years, compared to the Han and Tibetan centrifugation, internal and external chaos, the old master was not destroyed, the new monarch usurped, mourning the good people to suffer again. I proclaim that the envoy will obey the wise order, command the heavy troops, and be close to the border, and ask for the guilt, so as to save the people, not to kill, and everyone should work hard to plan as soon as possible. Those who have officials will return to the old times, and those who have land will resume their business as before. If you can lead the heroic heroes to stand up for the effect, that is, you should be excellent and official, and you will be given a generous gold silk; If you can return to one state or one county, you can use your state or county; If there are heroes who come to Yanjing to dedicate and are not confined to the soldiers and the people, they will make envoys with the festival, give 100,000 yuan, and the mansion is a district. However, in the hard work, with one heart, the joy of returning to the Han Yongbao and honor, and the Khitan Zhufan returning to obedience is also the same as the Han people. Soldiers who have been given a precept are not allowed to kill a husband, or if they are unconscious, they should have other measures. All the restraints of the Khitan should be removed. Although the soldiers entered the border, the price of all the necessary grain and grass and carts and cattle did not make the Yan people prepared, and they were still exempted from taxes for two years.

Tong Guan ordered to recruit warriors from Xiongzhou, let them carry the inscription across the border, go deep into the territory of Liao, and post and distribute it everywhere.

At the same time, Tong Guan also strictly ordered all armies not to cross the border and provoke in order to avoid military conflicts.

……

The yellow list promulgated in the name of the Xuanfu Division was successively distributed to Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Yanjing and other places in Liao, while Tong Guan and others waited patiently for the good news in Xiongzhou.

But!

After a few days, there was not a single official of the Liao State who came to dedicate the prefecture and county, let alone the Han people of Yandi flocking to it.

Tong Guan thought to himself: "What's going on? Is there a problem with the information provided by Hexu? ”

Zhao Liangsi suggested: "You can't wait like this anymore, you should immediately send someone to Yanjing to find Ye Luchun, explain the benefits and disadvantages to him, and persuade him to sacrifice Yanjing." ”

Tong Guan felt that Zhao Liangsi's suggestion was good, so he personally drafted a letter to Ye Luchun - Tong Guan and Ye Lu Chun had a one-sided acquaintance, and when he passed through Yanjing on his mission to Liao, he had visited Ye Lu Chun, and the two had a very happy conversation.

The letter reads as follows:

"Taishi, the Privy Council, the Xuanfu Envoy of Shaanxi Hedong and Hebei, and the Duke of Chu Guan hereby write to His Excellency the King of Qin and Jin:

Those who follow the heavens prosper, those who go against the heavens die, those who win the hearts of the people can establish a country, and those who lose the hearts of the people will not be able to defend the country...... The king is gentle and prosperous, has access to the past and the present, and has a deep understanding of the opportunity for survival. If you can open the door to welcome the surrender, return to the court, so that the king will not lose the title of the king, and the Yan people will not have the trouble of taking the axe, if not, they should discuss the army. The king is poor and poor, the sky is tired of leaving, if you want to go north, you have no return, and if you want to return south, you can get it. In addition, the state city under the management of the five roads of Daliao, the four capitals have been reckless, and the swallows of the mere ones must not be guarded. The king usually has a benevolent heart, if he can know the opportunity of the survival of the people in the past, the life of the whole swallow thistle, and the rest of the yin virtue is endless. Guan and the king are fortunate to have a one-sided contract, and they dare not tell each other sincerely, but they are thoughtful and skillful, and do not be mistaken by metrics. ”

After the letter was written, Tong Guan was a little hesitant about who to send to deliver the letter?

Zhao Liangsi said: "I'll go, I am very familiar with Yanjing, and I also know Ye Luchun, so I can talk to him." ”

Tong Guan shook his head and said, "You are not suitable, let's let Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong, the officials of the returned court, go." ”

The so-called returning officials refer to the Han people who were originally officials in the Yanyun area of the Liao State, and they later returned to the Song Dynasty and continued to serve as officials in the Song Dynasty, so they were called Gui Dynasty officials by the Song people.

In fact, Zhao Liangsi can also be regarded as a returning official.

In addition, the Song Dynasty also had the so-called "return to the dynasty", "return to the Ming people", and "return to the right people".

The so-called returnees refer to the Han people in the Yanyun area, that is, the Han people.

The so-called Guiming people refer to the ethnic minorities who were not originally Han and later belonged to the Song Dynasty, such as the ethnic minorities represented by the Fan and Barbarians in the southwest, as well as the Khitan, Mongolian, Jurchen and other ethnic groups.

The so-called reformed people refer to those who were originally from the Song Dynasty, later trapped in the Tibetan Kingdom, and then returned to the Song Dynasty, that is, traitors and rectifiers.

On the third day after Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong left Xiongzhou, He Shu suddenly ran to the Xuanfu Division to report to Tong Guan: "I just received a secret letter from Yanjing, Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong were beheaded by Yeluchun!" ”

Tong Guan was shocked when he heard the news!

In his impression, Yeluchun was a gentle, benevolent and charitable person, how could he become so vicious and tyrannical as soon as he ascended the throne as emperor?

Liu Tao took the secret letter and looked at it, and said: "Ye Luchun is so ruthless, it shows that he is quite resentful of our Great Song Dynasty, and it seems that there is not much hope for him to surrender." Judging from the current situation, the officials and people of Yanjing are not like what Zhizhou said, what kind of pot pulp, shoulder to shoulder, like boiling soup, this is purely Hezhizhou's conjecture, right? ”

And Xu's face is very ugly!

He was also depressed, and he felt that his judgment of the situation in Yanjing should be correct.

But the facts in front of him made him unable to explain it.

He Xu suggested: "It's better to send Zhao Xu back to Yizhou to recruit and surrender, Yizhou is Zhao Xu's hometown, he should have a lot of acquaintances there, maybe he can gain something." ”

Zhao Xu is Dong Pang'er, who led the people to revolt in Liao a few years ago, and later he surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Ji gave him the name Zhao Xu when he met him.

This time, Zhao Xu also came to the front line in Xiongzhou with Tong Guan.

Tong Guan did not take a stand.

Seeing this, Tong Guan's chief staff Li Zongzhen said: "You might as well give it a try, maybe you can get something." ”

Tong Guan sent someone to call Zhao Xu over.

Tong Guan actually didn't have a good impression of Zhao Xu, and felt that this person was arrogant and empty-eyed, and he couldn't be reused.

Really!

As soon as he heard that he was asked to go back to Yizhou to surrender, Zhao Xu, who had already heard that Zhang Xian and Zhao Zhong had been beheaded by Yeluchun, immediately shirked and said: "I will go back to Yizhou in person, the goal is too big, and the effect is not good." I have a good friend in Yizhou, named Shi Cheng, he is a well-known figure in Yizhou, with a lot of wealth, and he likes to make friends with heroes in the rivers and lakes. I wrote him a letter, and the Taishi could send someone to Yizhou with a letter to contact him and ask him to raise troops and sacrifice Yizhou City. ”

After Zhao Xu wrote the letter, everyone pondered for a long time, and they didn't know who to send the letter.

In the end, Tong Guan sent Tan Jiudian and others, carrying Zhao Xu's letters and gifts, to Yizhou to recruit surrender.

However, Shi Cheng didn't take Zhao Xu seriously at all, after reading Zhao Xu's letter, he immediately sent someone to tie up Tan Jiudian and others, and then sent them to Yanjing and handed them over to Ye Luchun.

Soon, Tan Jiudian and others were also killed.

The persuasion failed again.

This made Tong Guan realize that it may be difficult to persuade him to go through, in other words, Zhao Ji's upper and middle strategies have now failed.

In the next step, Tong Guan planned to implement the next strategy and let the army gather at the border, in an attempt to exert military pressure on Yeluchun.

It really didn't work, so I went back to the court and waited to move.

However, Zhao Liangsi, who was unwilling, suggested that Tong Guan send someone to Yanjing to persuade him to surrender.

Tong Guan was incredulous about this, and said, "Send someone again?" Isn't it going to die? ”

Zhao Liangsi said: "No. Send someone again, to go as an envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, the envoy represents our Great Song Dynasty, Ye Luchun He will never dare to kill our Great Song Dynasty envoys. If he really dares to kill our envoys of the Great Song Dynasty, wouldn't our army have the name of being a teacher? The army can quickly move north and recover Yanjing by force. ”

Tong Guan thought for a while and asked, "Who can take on this heavy responsibility?" ”

Zhao Liangsi replied, "I am willing to go!" ”

Tong Guan said: "You can't go, Ye Luchun must hate you to the core, if you go back to Yanjing, won't you fall into the net?" ”

Zhao Liangsi then recommended Ma Kuo to go, he thought that Ma Kuo was brave and strategic, and he would definitely live up to his mission!

After Ma Kuang returned from the Jin Kingdom, he stayed in the capital and was promoted to the position of Xuanzan Sheren of the Gate.

Zhao Liangsi once talked to Ma Kuo about the recovery of Yanjing, and he knew and respected Ma Kuo very well, so he recommended Ma Kuo.

Ma Kuo soon received an order from Tong Guan to put down his work and rush to Xiongzhou, but the letter did not say what he was going to do in Xiongzhou.

Ma Kuo guessed that it must be related to the recovery of Yanjing.

Ma Kuo's father, Ma Zheng, speculated that Tong Guan probably sent his son to Yanjing to recruit Ye Luchun.

When Ma Kuo heard this, he was excited!

Going to Yanjing to recruit Ye Luchun is a very challenging job.

Ma Kuo is a man who loves a challenge.

After Ma Kuo arrived in Xiongzhou, Tong Guan hosted a banquet to entertain Ma Kuo in the Xuanfu Division, which made Ma Kuo a little flattered.

After three rounds of drinking, Tong Guan said truthfully: "This time, I invited Ma Xuanzan to Xiongzhou because the country has a very important task that Ma Xuanzan needs to do, and this task is very challenging, I don't know if Ma Xuanzan dares to undertake it?" ”

Ma Kuo said: "If the guess is good, the Taishi should be expanding to Yanjing to recruit Yeluchun?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Ma Xuanzan is really smart, no wonder Zhao Longtu admires you in every way, so ...... I wonder if Ma Xuanzan dares to take on this arduous task? ”

Ma Kuo said: "As long as the Taishi orders, the sword mountain and the sea of fire are also willing to go!" ”

Tong Guan raised his hand and stroked the sparse beard under his chin and said, "Okay! Zhao Longtu really didn't mistake you Ma Xuanzan, I do plan to send you to Yanjing to recruit Yeluchun...... It's risky to go, Ye Luchun has already killed several of our envoys, you think about it carefully, and it's not too late to answer me tomorrow. ”

Ma Kuo was already mentally prepared for the envoy to Yanjing, so he just groaned for a while, and said: "Even if Yanjing is a tiger's den in Longtan, Kuo is not afraid, but for the sake of the overall situation, Kuo wants to put forward a few requirements, I don't know if it is possible?" ”

Tong Guan said: "Please speak." ”

Ma Kuo said: "After expanding to Yanjing, if there is a war between the two countries, first, please warn the officers and men of all armies that it is strictly forbidden to enter homes to rob and collect treasures, and military orders must be strict; Second, do not kill those who surrender in order to appease the people; Third, we must judge the situation and take the opportunity to march, do not worry about expansion, expansion is only a small amount, even if we sacrifice our lives for the country, we will not hesitate! ”

Tong Guan admired Ma Kuo's integrity and nodded in agreement.

The next day, Ma Kuo began to look for strong men from the military camp to accompany him to Yanjing.

On the evening of May 17, Tong Guan came to Baigou Post Station to set up a banquet and personally expanded the horse for his trip.

Tong Guan raised his glass and said, "I wish Ma Xuanzan Ma success and early triumph!" ”

Ma Kuo drank generously, and then reminded: "Master Tai must not forget the three requirements made by Kuo. ”

More than a dozen accompanying strong men also drank all the wine in the cup, and there was a tragic atmosphere of wind and depression, easy water cold, and strong men who never returned.
