Fan used Ji Ben's name to Lu Jiuzhu, a Khitan man, a general of the Jin Dynasty, a long town on the border of Jin and Song, and the opposite Song general Zhao Fan had dealt with him for many years, when Jin died, he led the army to surrender Zhao Fan, got Zhao Fan Libao, made a lieutenant in the Song Dynasty, changed his Han name, and the town of Junzhou, guarding the vast ground north of Xiangyang.

Zhao Fan died of illness soon after, and Fan Yongji, who was originally a general, suddenly lost his backer, and how far he could go in the bureaucratic Song court, it didn't take long for someone to impeach, saying that he had committed illegal acts, and the court had signs of reducing military power.

Military power is the root of people like Fan Yongji, if there are no soldiers at hand, he may die on the street at any time, Fan Yongji can move around on the battlefield of the corpse mountain and sea of blood, how can a shrewd and powerful character be tied up?

With a twist of his neck, he descended to the Great Mongolia, and also took the territory around Junzhou, exposing the Xiangyang Jingxiang of the Great Song Dynasty to the blade of the Mongols.

From one side, it was Fan Yongji who achieved the prestige of Meng Heng's generation of famous generals, and the Mongols went south from Fan Yongji's territory and smashed the south of the Yangtze River.

The Mongols did not ask for a big bargain, and returned in a huff, and when they left, they naturally took away their soldiers and horses, and lost the huge Henan to Fan Yongji.

In this way, Fan Yongji is like an abandoned orphan, regardless of both sides, the Mongols just remember him when they come to fight the autumn wind and loot, and say hello to him.

No matter how obedient people are, they will get angry after a long time like this.

So Fan Yongji remembered the goodness of the Song Dynasty again, and he admired Meng Heng's majesty again, so he thought about it, and he felt that it was not bad to take refuge in the Great Song Dynasty and shade the sun under Meng Hui's hands.

Together with this idea, there was the later letter, it was this letter that ruined the future of Meng Heng's life, Meng Hui took it to Beijing to ask to see Li Zong, hoping to recruit Fan Yongji, but Li Zong ruthlessly refused, and also took Meng Hui's office.

Originally, Fan Yongji was already disheartened when he heard the news.

Think about it, how can people who are going back and forth still have people waiting to be seen?

Unexpectedly, when the mountains and rivers were exhausted, the newly appointed Jinghu system envoy Jia Nidao enthusiastically replied to a letter.

I heard that this young official, who was very well-connected in the Great Song Dynasty, spoke at length and chewed on words, and used a few pages to express a meaning: You are very good, I appreciate you very much, and I decided to accept you as a junior brother.

Fan Yongji almost couldn't believe it, this master trusted me so much?

I don't think I've even met him.

After a few circles in the study, Fan Yongji decided to give it a try, and he also wrote a letter to Jia Yidao, putting forward some requirements, nothing more than winter to spring, food to wear, and use, with you Da Song, you can't let my people go hungry and freeze.

Jia Rudao was very simple, and immediately agreed, with only one condition: let the officials of the Great Song Dynasty go to Fan Yongji's territory to be civil ministers and manage civil affairs.

As for the military, Jia Rudao didn't ask too much, just asked Fan Yongji to make a book of details, and handed over a copy of the Jinghu envoy in the past.

Such conditions are almost unbelievable to Fan Yongji.

Civil administration? I'm sorry for you, those little people are hungry and screaming, I'm having a headache, if you want to take care of it, I can't ask for it!

And military politics, that is the root of life, you can't give it to you if you want, after all, there are so many lessons in front of me, how can I live without soldiers, if you don't ask for it, it's great.

Regarding Jia Yidao's conditions, Fan Yongji almost didn't think about it, and immediately agreed, and the two sides hit it off, and immediately agreed on all matters contacted by the two sides.

So he chose an auspicious day of the zodiac, Fan Yongji took the officials of Junzhou, and held a grand surrender ceremony on the edge of a city between Xiangyang and Junzhou.

This trick was originally played once when Zhao Fan was in the past, and it was not new, but it was different when it fell into the hands of Jia Yidao.

He passed the book on Pegasus for 800 miles, and used an article on the prosperity of the flower group to describe Fan Yongji's surrender as he led the troops of Jinghu to force him to penetrate into the enemy territory within a few days, forcing Fan Yongji to resist and only surrender to the Great Song Dynasty.

The same thing, falling on different people, is a different ending.

Meng Hui just took Fan Yongji's letter and expressed his opinion to Li Zong, but was ruthlessly reprimanded and lost half of his life's reputation.

Jia Rudao not only expressed his opinions, but also cut it first and then reported, it stands to reason that what he did and what he did before and after doing it were too much out of line compared to Meng Heng.

If according to the treatment and standards that Meng Heng received, Jia Rudao should be reduced and assigned to Dali Temple.

That's what a lot of people think.

But the development of facts is a big surprise.

Li Zong personally issued an edict, praising Jia Rudao for acting decisively, decisively, being able to seize the opportunity to act decisively, having the style of a general, having the realm of a famous handsome, and it is really rare for the country to have such a talent.

The Privy Council and the Zhongshu Province successively issued documents to send people to allocate money and food, and Jia Rudao gave whatever he wanted, giving what he wanted.

The huge difference in handling style before and after makes people who are familiar with the cause and effect of the whole thing not quite understand, and finally can only sigh and shake their heads.

In fact, in the eyes of smart people, they will understand.

To put it bluntly, Meng Heng is a martial artist and a warlord.

Jia Rudao is a civil servant and a reliable person.

The former can only be used, not sitting.

The latter deserves to be cultivated and should be encouraged and supported.

This is the source of the difference.

Of course, the flickering entanglement of interests and personal relationships behind Jia Rudao also play a big role, but the most fundamental thing is still on the reason mentioned above.

Therefore, even if Jia Rudao made a move that was in line with the wishes of Li Zong and the central bosses, and even seriously violated the original intention of the Song court, it was possible to provoke the beginning of a war with the north, and Li Zong and the big bosses would also acquiesce.

Besides, it's not a big deal, but it's a demote and some land.

If the northern Xingshi asks for the guilt, it is a big deal to push people out and cut them down, and return the land.

Oh, at most you will lose some coins, it's okay, Da Song has money.

That's how it was handled.

The officials of the Jia Rudao faction in the past began to settle in the yamen of Henan Province of the Great Mongolia, and the banner of the Great Song Dynasty began to fly high in the cities of various places, and the hinterland of the Central Plains of the Chinese land.

Many times, the rangers of the Song court began to appear around Bianliang, and there were many more Song spies in the Luoyang area, recovering the two capitals and putting them on the desk of the imperial table in front of Li Zong.

Everything went well, and the expected counterattack from the north did not come as scheduled for two months, as if the Mongols did not take it seriously.

Sichuan had some twists and turns because of the recovery of Hanzhong, but it did not affect the overall situation.

It went well.

From top to bottom, I think so.

Only the eldest grandson Hong, who was running along the Yinping path and standing under the city of Hanzhong, was very nervous.

He looked at the head of Hanzhong City, which was covered by the smoke and dust of the beacon fire, and his two thick eyebrows were locked in one place, unable to be unfolded for a long time.

At this point, the first volume of this book is considered to be the end.

The next volume, "Layout of the World", will be a magnificent volume, the head-on confrontation between Changsun Hong and Kublai Khan will be staged, history will be subverted, the characters will be reversed, and everything will be intense.
