The Song army and the Song court in the south were training troops, raising food, and preparing for the Northern Expedition at all times to recapture Bianjing and the Central Plains in one fell swoop.

The north was also tense at this time.

Wan Yan Liang stationed 200,000 troops in Zhending Mansion and 100,000 troops in Hejian Mansion.

After Wan Yan Yong took advantage of the chaos to take Yanjing, he concentrated most of his troops in Yanjing, with a total of 100,000 troops, in an attempt to block Wan Yan Liang's eastward entry into Liaoyang under Yanjing City.

After Yanjing was attached to the new emperor Wan Yan Yong, Jin Guo Beijing was also attached to Wan Yan Yong, in order to prevent Yan Liang from returning to the north, the troops entered Liaoyang, Wan Yan Yong concentrated his troops in Yanjing, if you want to attack Liaoyang, do not take Yanjing, Wan Yan Liang's army supply line can not be unblocked, once lost, it is very likely that there will be no return.

And Yanjing is the capital of Liaojin, Wan Yanliang also ordered the expansion, the city is high and the wall is solid, even if it is attacked with several times the strength of the city, it is impossible to capture Yanjing in a short time.

Therefore, although Wan Yanliang has the advantage of troops, he does not dare to attack rashly, otherwise it will be difficult to avoid fighting on the north and south fronts.

With Yan Liang's current situation of losing the fertile land of dozens of states north of the Huai River in the south and the vast grasslands of Tokyo and Beijing in the north, and losing his power to the north, he has no confidence that he can win two battles at the same time.

The north is the foundation of Wanyan Liang, if you can only win one battle, then destroying Wanyan Yong is the first, in his opinion, as long as the Jin State is reunified internally, it will not be a big problem to go south in the future to regain the land seized by the Song people.

At this time, Wan Yan Liang had long lost the pride of standing on the bank of the Yangtze River, Wan Yan Yuanyi's betrayal, Yanjing's betrayal, and Beijing's betrayal, not only took away his hundreds of thousands of troops, but also gave countless grains and grass, weapons, armor, and countless cattle, horses, and people, all to Wan Yan Yong, these betrayals hit him hard, and he began to distrust anyone at all.

Chen Bing Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion have been in place for more than half a year, and he has not even made an attempt to attack Yanjing, but has only brought several state capitals south of Yanjing back under his rule.

But he didn't have much garrison there, because the people of those places had a keen sense of war, and they had long since fled to the top of their lungs, and even if they were to be ruled, they would be of little use, and those places were just vast battlefields, and they could not provide him with taxes.

The current situation is that Wan Yanliang deployed his army in Hejian Mansion, which is more than 200 miles away from Yanjing, and Zhending Mansion, which is nearly 400 miles away from Yanjing, and Zhending Mansion is only 600 miles away from Bianjing.

If you attack Yanjing with all your might, Bianjing will be lost, and if you go south to regain the lost territory, you will lose Hejian Mansion and Zhending Mansion. As soon as Zhending Mansion is lost, Wan Yan Yong's troops will be able to enter Taiyuan Mansion from Zhending Mansion to the west, Taiyuan Mansion will be lost, and Wan Yan Yong's east and west roads will go south, and he will never turn over.

All Wan Yan Liang can do is to wait for the opportunity, because at present, it seems that the biggest threat to him is to obtain Wan Yan Yong in Yanjing, Beijing and Liaoyang, Tokyo, as for the Song Dynasty, if they dare to go north to seize land, as long as they find the right opportunity and give them a hard blow, they themselves will hesitate, and even take the initiative to sue for peace, and then he will be able to concentrate on dealing with Wan Yan Yong.

Therefore, he Chen soldiers of 200,000 were in Zhending Mansion, and he had been standing still, just waiting for an opportunity, and he also wanted to use this time to prepare more grain and grass materials. After all, when going south, the million-strong army almost exhausted the savings of two or three years, and now it can only be maintained in Zhending Mansion, if you want to enter Yanjing, you must prepare at least three months of grain and grass, otherwise you will definitely return in vain.

Wan Yan Liang is waiting for an opportunity, why not Wan Yan Yong?

Since Wan Yan Yong started the incident in Liaoyang more than a year ago, he has changed the previous practice of Wan Yan Kang and Wan Yan Liang indiscriminately killing the opposition of the clan nobles.

As soon as he ascended the throne and became emperor in Liaoyang, he said that he would maintain the nobility of the clan and adopt a tolerant and generous policy towards the high-ranking officials under Wan Yanliang, as long as he was willing to belong to him, he would not blame the past.

At the same time, he issued an edict, counting dozens of sins such as Yan Liang's killing of the Empress Dowager, Jin Taizong, Zong Han, and Zong Bi's descendants, and destroying Shangjing, and demoted him to King Yang.

Then he got rid of the title of King of Dongdu, restored his reputation, added the name Xizong, and was buried in Siling.

He also repaired the palace of Huining Mansion that was destroyed by Wan Yan Liang and restored the title of Shangjing.

He also issued several edicts to restore the status of those who had been innocently killed by the families of the ministers who had been innocently killed, and to send people to visit the bones of the ministers everywhere, and after obtaining them, they would be collected and buried by the government.

Those officials who were cut or demoted by Wan Yanliang without reason were given corrections and hired only according to their numbers.

Wan Yan Yong's measures all played a role in appeasing and entrapping the nobles of the Jurchen clan.

At the same time, for those who had opposed him and had talents, Wan Yan Yong did not shy away from his previous grievances and still reused.

For example, when Yan Liang finished the Shangshu Zuo Cheng, and the right leading capital governor Su Shi Lie Zhining, he was very talented, and at the first time after hearing that Yan Yong was the emperor in Liaoyang, he and the general Bai Yanjing and others were ready to go to Liaoyang to attack Yan Yong.

After Yan Yong ascended the throne, he sent envoys to Yanjing to win their attachment, but Su Shi Lie Zhining not only refused to submit, but also killed nine envoys successively.

After Yan Yong conquered Fushi Lie Zhining by force, not only did he not blame him, but also entrusted him with a heavy responsibility.

Zhang Xuansu, who was the transfer envoy of Tokyo Road at the time, was also very talented, he had told Wan Yan Yong in front of Wan Yan Liang, and after Wan Yan Yong ascended the throne, Zhang Xuansu went to see him, and Wan Yan Yong "didn't ask anything" about the past, but appointed him as the head of the household.

Zhang Hao, who was the prime minister and stayed in Nanjing, was an old minister of several dynasties in the Jin Dynasty, after Yan Yong became the emperor, he worshiped him as the prince, Shang Shuling, and named the king of Nanyang County, so that he could not worship when he entered the court, and also set up a special seat for him in the east of the main hall, and respected him very much.

Wan Yan Yong's policy of appointing people who did not want to be jealous of his past grievances made the Jurchen nobles in Yanjing, Beijing, Shangjing, and Tokyo and the officials under Wan Yan Liang come to defect one after another, and less than a year after ascending the throne, the political situation in the north under his rule quickly stabilized.

In addition, due to Wanyan Liang's southern invasion, soldiers, cattle, sheep, and horses were forcibly recruited from various ethnic tribes in the northern grasslands, which provoked rebellions in the northern grasslands, and Wanyan Yong seized Yanjing, Beijing, Shangjing, and Tokyo, which naturally belonged to his rule, and the rebellion in the northern grasslands seriously threatened his rule over the northern part of the Jin Kingdom.

In particular, the herdsmen's uprising led by the Khitans was the most serious threat to Wanyan Yong's rule.

Therefore, after Yan Yong ascended the throne and became emperor, he immediately used both appeasement and suppression to deal with the rebel army.

Wanyan Yongxian sent Yila Zaba to recruit the rebel army, but Zha Ba saw that the Wo Yi army was strong, and Wan Yan Yong lived in Liaoyang, and Wan Yan Liang was still fighting with the Song army in the south, so he joined the rebel army of Wo Hu instead.

At the end of the sixth year of Jin Zhenglong, that is, at the end of the 31st year of Song Shaoxing, after the confrontation between the Song and Jin armies on the Yangtze River, when Wan Yan Liang led the army to retreat in a panic, Wan Yan Yong hurriedly sent troops to suppress it, but the troops sent in a hurry were defeated by the Wo Wei rebel army.

In the first month of the seventh year of Jin Zhenglong, in the spring of the thirty-second year of Song Shaoxing, Wan Yan Yong sent Wan Yan Mouyan, the right deputy marshal, and other commanders to suppress it, and promised generous conditions to those who surrendered, and also carried out rebellion activities in the rebel army, so as to isolate one person.

The two sides fought back and forth on the northern grassland until the autumn, and finally Wo Hu was betrayed, arrested and executed in Liaoyang, and the Wo Hu uprising failed, and part of the rebel army defected to the Southern Song Dynasty, and the other part belonged to Wan Yan Yong.

Wan Yan Yong's suppression of the leader of the uprising was very cruel, not only beheading the nest and the lord in the city, but also cutting off his hands and feet and hanging them in various capitals, and then sent people to appease the Xi and Khitan tribes.

In order to prevent the Khitans from revolting, Wanyan Yong incorporated the Khitans who participated in the uprising into the Jurchen Meng'an Mouke Division, making them mixed.

In this way, the northern part of the Jin Kingdom under the rule of Wan Yan Yong temporarily achieved a relatively stable situation.

After the political situation of the dynasty and the enemy people were relatively stable, Wan Yan Yong, who was in Liaoyang, greatly increased his confidence, and saw that Wan Yan Liang's army was dragged to the south by the Song army, so he ordered the transfer of the troops of each capital to Yanjing, intending to seize the fertile land south of Yanjing.

Before Wan Yan Liang had just returned north to Bianjing and had not transferred the army back to the north, Wan Yan Yong's army took advantage of the emptiness of Hejian Mansion and rushed straight from Yanjing to Hejian Mansion and occupied a large area of land in one fell swoop.

But when they wanted to continue to go south and seize Zhending Mansion, Wan Yan Liang's army arrived in time, and defeated Wan Yan Yong's 10,000 vanguard troops in a battle.

As Wanyan Liang's army continued to move north, gathering 200,000 troops in Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Yong's army stationed in Yanjing no longer dared to go south easily, let alone take the initiative to attack.

Wan Yan Yong, as well as his ministers and generals, all understood that with the current strength, they could not be Wan Yan Liang's opponent at all.

When Wan Yan Liang went south to attack the Song Dynasty, he took away almost all the troops that could be mobilized by the Jin State, and the elite army of the entire Jin State was not left, otherwise Wan Yan Yong faced the Wo Hu uprising, and it took more than half a year, and finally relied on the traitor to betray and arrest the Wo Hu, and then the uprising was put down.

The combat effectiveness of the army in Wan Yan Yong's hands is completely impossible to compare with Wan Yan Liang's, if it starts a battle against each other, Wan Yan Yong will undoubtedly lose, so he let Yanjing's army not attack at will, mainly to defend Yanjing.

In his opinion, as long as Yanjing is not lost, no matter how strong Wanyanliang's army is, it is impossible to cross Yanjing to attack Liaoyang, let alone attack Beijing and Shangjing.

At this time, Wan Yan Yong, like Wan Yan Liang and the Song army, was also training troops, raising grain and grass and military supplies, and waiting for opportunities.

Wan Yan Yong was waiting for the Song army to go north to start a war with Wan Yan Liang, Wan Yan Liang waited for the Song army to dispatch and give them a head-on blow, and then lured the Yanjing defenders out of the city and annihilated them in one fell swoop, while Yang Congyi was waiting for Wan Yan Yong and Wan Yan Liang to start a fierce battle in the north.
