129 The Alliance of the Wenyu River

In the first battle by the Wenyu River, the Song army fought against the water, defeated the Mongol army, beheaded more than 10,000 people, captured more than 2,000 people, captured more than 3,200 war horses, countless weapons, armor and banners, and the loss of the bed army itself reached nearly 7,000 people. And Yang Yan looked at the battlefield after the war, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, if the Song army was also a full cavalry in this battle, no, even if there were only 40,000 cavalry troops, he would be sure to annihilate the Mongolian army. It's a pity that the Song army only has 25,000 cavalry, and it is difficult to achieve this goal. However, it was not a dream for the Song army to form a cavalry force of 100,000 men five years later.

After the defeat of the Mongol army, all of them retreated to Shunzhou to rest. Temujin immediately ordered Guo Baoyu, who was fighting against the Song army in Tongzhou, to withdraw to the vicinity of Shunzhou and station. The Song army did not chase hard, but still retreated to the south bank of the Wenyu River and Xiazhai, and the defenders of Tongzhou were in a horn situation. For the time being, a stalemate has formed between the two sides.

After retreating to Shunzhou, there was immediately another bad news, just at the same time as the Song and Mongolian wars, Cao Xun and Li Gongzuo sent troops from the sea and successively captured Jizhou, Luanzhou and Pingzhou, because the Song army had an absolute advantage in numbers, and it was completely possible to advance in multiple ways. Now the counties around Yanshan Mansion are only one Shunzhou, and all other places are occupied by the Song army.

Temujin also summoned the generals to discuss a way to deal with the Song army. But after several days of discussion, none of the Mongolian generals could come up with a good idea, and even Mu Huali, who had always been resourceful, was silent. Although the Mongol army still has more than 80,000 horses, no one dares to mention the decisive battle with the Song army. And the Khitan generals who have been clamoring for the most fierce and fighting to the death with the Song army are even more embarrassed to move forward.

Because after the first battle of Wenyuhe, everyone can see that the Song army is definitely a well-trained and well-equipped powerful army, and it is by no means easy to defeat.

At this time, Yelu Chucai spoke: "Great Khan, in my opinion, this battle cannot be fought again, it is better to withdraw the army and return to Mongolia." Temujin was silent for a long time before he said: "If we retreat, but the Song army refuses to stop, and after we retreat to the grassland, the Song army continues to march and seize the land of Dading and Linhuangfu, then this time our Mongols sent troops to attack the Jin country, and all our efforts were not all in vain?" ”

Guo Baoyu listened to it on the side, and knew that Temujin had moved the heart of the retreating army, so he said: "Don't worry, according to the last general, the Song army probably also hopes to be able to strike with us immediately, so after our Mongol army retreats, the Song army will never continue to march." ”

After listening to Guo Baoyu's words, Temujin was also interested, and said, "Yuchen, why do you think so. ”

Guo Baoyu said: "The Song army has now completely recovered the lost territory in the past, expanded more than 10,000 miles, and the country has multiplied sharply, and urgently needs time to stabilize the rule of these times, which is one of them; Since last year's Jin State invaded the Song Dynasty, the war has been going on for more than a year, at this time the Song army went on a northern expedition, mobilized an army of 500,000, and spent countless amounts of money and grain. Therefore, the two strikes and truces are of course the wish of our Mongolia, and it is also the wish of the Song Dynasty. ”

After a pause, Guo Baoyu said again: "After the Song army won a great victory in the Wenyu River, it successively captured Jizhou, Luanzhou, and Pingzhou, but did not take advantage of the victory to march to capture Shunzhou, but retreated to the south bank of the Wenyu River to station, it can be seen that the Song army does not want to continue the war, as long as we give up Shunzhou and completely withdraw from the land of Yanyun, the Song army will never attack the land of Dading and Linhuangfu again." Therefore, the Great Khan is also asked to make a decision sooner. ”

Temujin listened, nodded, and muttered for a while before saying, "Let me think again." ”

Because after listening to Guo Baoyu's analysis, Temujin had another idea, and then spent it with the Song army, to see how long the Song army could last, even if it was to retreat, it was necessary to try to get a little benefit from the Song army. It turned out that after Yang Yan passed the idea of the Jin State intending to negotiate peace with the Great Song Dynasty back to Jiankang, after the discussion of Zhao Chen and the ministers, since the Great Song Dynasty did not prepare large-scale military operations in the next five years, it would naturally not attack the Jin State, so it was better to negotiate peace with the Jin State, and then provoke a war between Jin and Meng, and the Great Song Dynasty could benefit from it.

Therefore, the Jiankang court immediately sent an edict, if the Jin State was willing to pay the Great Song Dynasty and pay the New Year's coin, it could negotiate peace with the Jin State, and ask the Jin State to send an envoy and a national secretary to the Jiankang Mansion to negotiate peace conditions.

Before coming to Yanshan Mansion, the two secret envoys of the Jin State immediately agreed to come down after receiving instructions from the country, so they left An Xulie to maintain communication with the Song Dynasty in Yanshan Mansion, and Pu Sulie immediately returned to Liaoyang Mansion, echoed the Jin Imperial Court, and immediately sent a delegation to the Song Dynasty. After Yang Yan sent Pu Sulie away, he also immediately announced the news.

When Temujin and the Mongol generals learned of this news, they were also shocked, and the resumption of peace between Song and Jin meant that Mongolia was completely isolated, and if it was not done well, it would fall into the joint attack of Song and Jin. And Yelu Chucai and Guo Baoyu also spoke together, asking Temujin to make a decision immediately, and this time even Mu Huali supported their opinion.

In the afternoon, an urgent report came from Yeluliuge in Linhuang Mansion, it turned out that the Jin army took advantage of the battle between the Mongol army and the Song army, withdrew the main force, launched an attack on Linhuang Mansion, and successively captured Baicheng, Tao'an, Yutong and other places. Please save the Mongolian army to come to the rescue.

This news finally prompted Temujin to make up his mind to withdraw from the army, and immediately sent Zaba'er Fire Warrior to the Song camp to invite Yang Yan, and the next day he went to the Wenyu River for an interview. After Yang Yan received the message from the Zaba'er Fire Man, he knew that the Mongolian army was finally planning to retreat, so he immediately agreed.

The next day, Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru came to the Wenyu River with the generals of the Song army, only to see that on the opposite bank, Temujin also led the Mongolian generals to arrive.

Yang Yan rode his horse to the river and said loudly: "Great Khan, the Great Song Dynasty and Mongolia originally had an alliance and friendship, but the former turned against each other because of some small misunderstandings. Now why don't you turn hostility into friendship, reconcile again, and become brothers and friends from now on, and never invade each other. I don't know what the Great Khan wants? ”

Temujin also brought his horse to the river and said, "Yang Mulma, you can tell that it is light, but it is difficult for my brother Bo Yi to die in vain." ”

Of course, Yang Yan could hear that Temujin was just making things difficult, hoping to get some benefits, so he said lightly: "If the Great Khan does not withdraw his troops, then there will be more Mongolian soldiers like Borhu, who will leave their lives here and never return to the Mongolian steppe." And on the grassland, there will be more parents who have lost their sons, wives who have lost their husbands, and children who have no fathers. Since the Great Khan is the lord of the steppe, why doesn't he think more about his people? Go back to the steppe, where the Mongols are supposed to be, and let your warriors go and reunite with their families and stop making unnecessary sacrifices. ”

Temujin was silent for a while, and finally said: "Okay, I promise you that tomorrow I will lead the army to retreat and return Shunzhou to you, but you will pay us 30,000 stone of grain." Within three years, I promised that I would never send troops south. ”

Yang Yan also nodded and said, "Okay, I also promise that as long as the Mongolian army retreats and gives up Shunzhou, I can provide you with 30,000 stone of grain." And within three years, the Song army would never attack the Mongol region. ”

Subsequently, the two sides erected a pontoon bridge over the Wenyu River and carried out an alliance ceremony according to their own customs, the Song army slaughtered a white horse, and Yang Yan and Temujin made an alliance with blood. The Mongols trampled on a beach by the river, and then each cut down a tree in the woods on the bank and threw it into the water as a pledge. At this point, the entire alliance ceremony was declared.

The history books refer to this Song-Mongolian alliance as "the alliance of the Wenyu River". or the "Second Song-Mongol Alliance".

After the alliance was completed, the Mongol army immediately withdrew from Shunzhou, and the whole army retreated to Dadingfu. After Yang Yan sent troops to take over Shunzhou, he also supplied 30,000 stone of grain to Mongolia as promised.

At this time, the land of Yanyun and the nineteen prefectures that had fallen into the hands of foreign races in the north for nearly three hundred years were finally recovered by the Song army, and at the same time, Luanzhou and Pingzhou near Yanshan Mansion were added, and Yunnei Prefecture, Dongsheng Prefecture, and Fengzhou in the west of Datong Mansion were added, together with the recovered land of Yanyun, a total of nineteen prefectures and two prefectures.

After Temujin retreated to Dadingfu, he immediately began to prepare for the return to the north. This time, the Mongol army occupied Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion, which was also quite fruitful. Temujin did not intend to give up these two areas, and had to make proper arrangements.

First of all, Temujin crowned Yelu Liuge as the king of Liao, and sent Yelu Ahai and Yelu Bald Brothers to guard the Linhuangfu Road to guard against the Jin Kingdom. In the years that followed, Yeluliuge had always been loyal to the Mongols, and even when he was advised to leave the Mongols and establish himself as emperor, he was flatly refused. After the death of Yeluliuge, the eldest son Yelu Xueja succeeded him as the king of Liao, and the second son Yelu Shange followed Temujin on his expedition to the west, and was brave and good at fighting, and made many military exploits. Bestow the name of Mongolia, and confer Batulu with merit.

Subsequently, Temujin still ordered Mu Huali to guard the eastern front and sit in Dading Mansion. On the one hand, he guarded against the Song Dynasty, and on the other hand, he was also the backup of Yeluliuge, and left the Shi Mo brothers, the stabbing and others to assist Saki Huali.

Originally, Temujin wanted to keep Guo Baoyu by Mu Huali's side, but Guo Baoyu insisted on returning to Mongolia with Temujin. Temujin knew that he did not want to be an enemy of the Song Dynasty, so he was not exempt. Later, when he accompanied Temujin on his westward expedition, Guo Baoyu became Temujin's confidant and offered many strange schemes, but he eventually died on the way to the west and never returned to his homeland.

After arranging all this, Temujin led the Mongol army back to the steppe. A year later, the Mongols had a bad relationship with the great power of the Western Regions, and Temujin led his army to the west, and he never waved his troops south again throughout his life.
