Wanyan Wu begged to negotiate peace, but faced several major problems:

The first problem is how to convince those ministers, who are also partners of the military aristocracy?

You must know that this time to go south to rob, not to mention those Khitan, Xi, and Han soldiers, the 50,000 or 60,000 Jurchen elites are the strength of those military aristocratic partner groups, and only less than 10,000 came back alive!

The Jurchens who didn't come back were all fathers and sons of those military aristocratic partners!

In other words, those military aristocratic partners have formed a blood feud with Li Yan!

Originally, the Jurchens were no different from the savages, and in the earliest days, the various tribes within the country often fought each other, sometimes fighting for a small pasture, a water source, and a woodland.

And if there is a war, there must be death, if you kill one of us, I will kill you two, and the other tribe is the same, if you kill two of us, I will kill you four, and there will be endless vendettas.

(This is also one of the main reasons why the Jurchens at that time were not strong.) ）

It was later that the Jurchen ancestor stopped killing after Yan Hanpu, and the Jurchens did not die in vain - outsiders killed the Jurchens, and the whole clan went to take revenge, which is needless to say. Even if someone inside the Jurchen kills the Jurchens, the other party must pay six taels of gold, ten cows, and twenty horses, and they have to return a son as a hostage and laborer.

And this time, the Jin people went south to rob, except for the useless Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and the men of the Zhao family, they didn't bring anything of value back.

How is this possible to calm the anger of those partners of the military aristocracy?

The key point is that the Chinese army also cut off the heads of those Jurchens who were killed to make a Jingguan, and castrated those Jurchens who were captured and sent to the distant Beihai County to dig for gold.

In this way, those military aristocratic partners have a greater enmity with Dazhong, and it can even be said that they will never die.

The second big problem, how to convince Dazhong, how to persuade Li Yan, agree to negotiate peace?

Nowadays, whether the Chinese army is in Yandi or Hedong, it is a succession of victories.

In Hedong, the Chinese army is about to hit Daizhou and Ninghua Army, and it has been connected with Fuzhou, and it is about to recover the land of Hedong and approach the clouds.

Yandi, after Yizhou and Zhuozhou and Pingluanying, the Chinese army regained Jizhou, and now it has formed a siege of Yanjing.

Even the Northeast Army of Dazhong has now put on the posture of attacking Zhongjing Dadingfu.

It can be said that the situation of the Chinese army is really very good.

Under such circumstances, it will undoubtedly be much more difficult for Daikin to persuade Dazhong to sit down and negotiate peace.

Moreover, Emperor Li Yan of Dazhong had a very bad impression of him Wanyan Wu Qimai, and one of the conditions he once threw out for peace was to let him Wanyan Wu Qimai abdicate.

It's also a big hassle.

And yet—

Although there were many difficulties, Wanyan Wu still wanted to negotiate peace with Dazhong.

Why?

First of all, for that reason, if he doesn't negotiate peace, he can't be the emperor.

Secondly, for Daikin, the current situation is really too bad, if it is not discussed and stopped, it is not possible to say how much it will deteriorate in the end, and it is not completely impossible that Daikin will be destroyed by Dazhong one day.

Again, the current wind direction is no longer right, the Western Xia and Tatar and some other steppe tribes who previously submitted to Dajin have now begun to send envoys to Dazhong, plus the east has long been Dazhong's territory, so if one is not done well, Dajin will be enemies on all sides, or even embattled.

Based on all of the above, Wanyan Wu Qimai called his eldest sons Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Chang - the reason why Wanyan Wu Qimai called Wanyan Zongpan was because Wanyan Zongpan had gone south with the army and had a better understanding of the situation in Dazhong, and there were also some ideas for peace. The reason why Wan Yan Chang is called Wan Yan Chang is because Wan Yan Chang is the most enthusiastic about peace and discussion, and even put forward the political policy of "returning the north to the north, returning the middle to the middle, and returning the south to the south", and trumpeting his political views.

After Wanyan Zongpan and Wanyan Chang saw Wanyan Wu begging, Wanyan Wu begged and said: "The current situation is a little unfavorable to my Dajin, you can tell me, how should I deal with Dajin?" ”

Wan Yanchang said: "The only way to do this is to negotiate peace." ”

After listening to Yan Chang's words, Yan Zongpan did not speak.

Wanyan Wu begged to ask Wanyan Chang: "How to negotiate peace?" ”

Wan Yanchang said: "Respect the intention of Taizu back then, return Yanyun to the Han people, we northerners return to the north, and our two countries will not invade each other." ”

Wanyan Wu begged and said: "Now that the Chinese army has occupied the three states of Pingluanying, if my Dajin withdraws from Yanyun again, I will no longer be able to go to the rich Central Plains." ”

This is the most fundamental reason why the Jin people have always adhered to Yanyun, losing Yanyun, not only will they no longer be able to touch the rich Central Plains, they will also lose the civilization of the Central Plains, and slowly degenerate into the previous grassland tribes.

Moreover, if that is the case, then the situation of the Jin State will be even worse than that of the Liao State - the Liao State occupied Yandi and Pingzhou, which was closely connected to the Central Plains, and even had a large number of Han people in the country, which ensured the prosperity of the Liao State.

This truth is not difficult to think, so Wan Yanchang also understands.

Wan Yanchang said: "But now it's not a matter of whether our Dajin will give up Yanyun, but Dazhong is bound to win Yanyun, Dazhong is now investing four or five hundred thousand troops in Liaodong, Hedong, and Yandi, and four of the five tiger generals in the hands of the Chinese lord are in Liaodong, Hedong, and Yandi, which shows the ambition of the Chinese lord to Yanyun, so if we don't give up Yanyun, Dazhong will never give up, and the two countries are bound to fight to the death." ”

The facts are indeed like Wan Yanchang's analysis.

In order to get Yan Yun, Li Yandu was ready to make peace with the Southern Song Dynasty and Western Xia temporarily, and even drove the royal expedition if necessary.

It can be said that in order to recover Yanyun, Li Yan is about to do whatever it takes.

In this case, if Jin Guo still clings to Yan Yun, there will be no basis for peace talks at all.

Seeing that Yan Wu begged to buy and didn't speak, Yan Chang said again: "I think I Jurchen, originally just a small tribe in the northeast of An, got the land of Da Liao, should be content, but the people's hearts are not enough to swallow the elephant, only to fall into today's end, when Taizu was alive, he never thought of the southern invasion, but also to return Yanyun to the Great Song Dynasty, but unfortunately I and other descendants do not have this vision, only to fall into the current passive situation, if not corrected in time at this time, I am afraid that my Dajin can not even keep the Liao, and even will harm the descendants." ”

Wan Yan Chang's words were already very serious, and he even slapped Yan Wu begging in the face in person, you must know that it was the southern invasion that Wan Yan Wu begged to agree to.

And yet—

Wanyan Wu begged to buy and did not blame Wanyan Chang, at least on the surface, he did not blame Wanyan Chang, and said: "Then how to persuade the minister to agree to negotiate peace with Dazhong?" ”

Wan Yanchang smiled: "This matter is easy. ”

Wanyan Wu begged and said, "Oh? How easy is it? ”

Wan Yanchang said: "Whoever wants to fight will let Yanyun fight." ”

After Yan Wu begged to hear this, his eyes lit up, and he said in his heart: "This method is good, don't you disagree and want to fight, then you can take your people to Yanyun to resist the Chinese army." ”

But—

Wanyan Wu begged to buy quickly and quietly: "Then what if they win?" ”

Oh, yes.

If those military aristocratic partners win the battle against the Chinese army and keep Yan Yun, what should they do? At that time, the appointment of the Dajin Emperor who was bought by Wanyan Wu begging would not be able to sit down.

Without waiting for Yan Chang to speak, Yan Zongpan said, "They can't win." ”

Wanyan Wu Qimai looked at Wanyan Zongpan and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Wanyan Zongpan said with certainty: "They will definitely not be able to win." ”

Wanyan Zongpan is the eldest son of Wanyan Wu Qimai, whether Wanyan Wu Qimai can be the emperor or not, and Wanyan Zongpan's powerful relationship can be said to be the greatest.

Let's put it this way, if Dajin does not implement the Bo Ji Lie system, then Wanyan Zongpan is the crown prince of Dajin.

(Historically, Wanyan Xianye, who was supposed to inherit the throne of Wanyan Wu Begging, died in front of Wanyan Wu Begging, at that time, Wanyan Wu Begging Mai wanted Wanyan Zongpan to inherit his throne, but unfortunately Wanyan Wu Begging Mai finally failed to fight the aristocratic partners of the Jin State, so Wanyan Zongpan not only failed to become the emperor of the Jin State, but was later liquidated.) ）

Therefore, Wanyan Wu begs to buy very much in Wanyan Zongpan's judgment.

Since there is a way to solve the internal problems, the most important thing now is how to persuade Dazhong to agree to peace.

Therefore, Wanyan Wu begged to ask: "Then what kind of price do we need to pay before the lord can agree to negotiate peace?" ”
