In the forty-sixth round, the Taishi of Xia Tong escaped from Taiyuan Mansion

In August of the second year of Tianhui, Hulu sent Emperor Tianzuo to Huining Mansion in Shangjing to see Jin Taizong Wu begging to buy. Emperor Tianzuo presented a surrender to Jin Taizong. The text reads: "Liao surrendered to Yanxi, bowed to the axe, bowed to the Dajin Kingdom and waited for the crime." Ministers do not suffer from their bravery, but they are also violent. Fu Nianchen's ancestors created a 200-year-old foundation, inherited the throne, passed on his stepson to his grandchildren, worshiped God in the suburbs, and celebrated inside and outside. How can it mean that Weichen's bones are cold and his life is thin, and there is no virtue to protect, so he can't be like this. I was horrified all night, and I didn't know the blame. Offending taboos, if the frost meets the scorching sun, the boat encounters angry waves. The anger of the people was rising, and the subtext was swarming. To be ashamed, to stir up the wrath of the saints. Transferred to the military division, the fear is extreme, like sitting on charcoal soup. Gai Wen Yi Dao release, Hormon remembers; If Xin'an sighs, he is innocent. Remembering the benevolence of the Han Emperor, the birth of the Buddha; Eliminate Xiang Yu's faults and avoid injuries! Those who are pleaded by the ministers will stay in harmony and avoid the disaster of Xin'an. Trembling, look up to the sky and listen! Speak to death. ”

Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy the Tianzuo Emperor to descend the table, pardon but not kill, demote him as the king of the sea, and proclaim to the world. Haili was rewarded with 50 taels of silver, 500 taels of silver, 200 horses of coins and silk, and 300 taels of cotton for his merit of capturing the Tianzuo Emperor of Liao. And Lou Mu was also given iron coupons for merit, and only those who committed capital crimes were punished with whipping, and the rest of the sins were released without asking. Lou Bao received such a generous special treatment because of his contribution to capturing the Tianqi Emperor of the Liao State, and he was almost unique among the generals of the Jin State.

However, it is said that Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy Xijing and Yanjing as important places, and the past dynasties were fought for by soldiers, so he deployed heavy troops, and was called the West Route Army and the East Route Army. The Western Route Army adhered to the lord of Han and built the Privy Court in Xijing, so as to love the affairs of the main court. The Eastern Route Army looked at the lord with the sect, built the Privy Council in Yanshan, and took Liu Yan as the head of the court.

Liu Yanzong's name is Lu Kai, a native of Wanping, Daxing Mansion, and his distant ancestor is named Liu Yi, who was the envoy of Lu Longjie in the Tang Dynasty. Later Jin Shi Jingtang to You, Ji and other states to give the Liao State, Liu Shi Liao as the prime minister, his father Liu Xiao once served as the stay in Beijing. After Liu Yanzong was admitted to the Jinshi, he served as a junior position. Yeluchun, the king of the Qin and Jin dynasties, established the state in Yan and appointed Liu Yanzong as the judge who stayed behind. Jin Taizu Agu conquered Yanjing, and Liu Yanzong was honored with Zuo Qigong and others. When Jin Taizu saw it, he was extremely serious and treated him thickly. At the beginning, he returned to his old position, and then he was appointed as a left servant, and he wore a gold medal. Zong Wang led his troops to pacify Zhang Jue, with Liu Yanzong as his assistant, and appointed him as the secretary of the Zhongshu Sect, knowing the affairs of the Privy Council, and adding the servant. Zong Wang played Jin Taizong Wu begging to buy, thinking that when Fang Tu attacked, all state and county matters were ruled by Liu Yanzong.

For this reason, Jin Taizong Wu Qimai also specially issued an edict to Liu Yanzong: "Zhongjing and other two roads first refused to give orders, so they sent envoys to appease their subjects, and the crimes committed were not to be subjugated to the former." The secretary and the other officials and envoys sent an edict to him. Shi Liai returned to his hometown from Pingzhou and lived in seclusion. After Zhang Jue's affairs were calm, he went out of the mountain again. At that time, Jin Taizong Wu Qimai authorized the two of them very much, and the two of them decided arbitrarily on matters large and small, and gave them an empty name to announce their heads, and they could have the right to appoint and dismiss officials. Therefore, the people of the time called it the Western Court and the Eastern Court.

Jin Taizong Wu begged to see that Emperor Tianqi of Liao had been captured, and a stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. Rejoicing all day long, there are no worries. Unexpectedly, Zong Wang played Jin Taizong Wu Qimai and said that he asked the Song people for a renegade household registration, but the Song people refused to repatriate, and they also detected that Tong Guan and Guo Yaoshi of the Song Dynasty were in Yanshan, and their intention to defeat the contract and destroy the alliance has been clearly revealed. In the end, Zong Wang also said clearly: "If you don't raise the Song first, I am afraid that it will be a trouble in the future." ”

Almost at the same time, Mu Han also sent Lu Lu into Beijing to meet Jin Taizong Wu begging to buy, saying that the Song people did not return the New Year's coins, nor did they send back the fugitives. Jin Taizong listened to the words of the commander-in-chief of the two roads, although he thought so, but if he wanted to raise troops to attack the Song Dynasty, it was difficult for him to make up his mind.

It turned out that there were other reasons why there was a high demand for the Southern Expedition among the marshals of the Jin State. One is that the Jin and Song dynasties made a maritime alliance and agreed with each other that the two countries would attack and collect Yanjing, and the Song Dynasty would get its land and Jin would get its people. Therefore, the common people of Yanjing at that time were driven into the land of Jin. These people have left their hometowns and miss their hometowns and countryside. Liu Yanzong, Shi Liai, Han Qixian and others all served as important officials in the Jin court and had a certain influence on their decision-making. These people were born and grew up in Yanjing, and they have a deep affection for Yanjing, and they are willing to take Yanjing and return to their homeland.

In addition, among the ministers who returned to Liao, such as Yelu Yujian, Tribu, Jiuge, Ma Wu, Yeluhui, Mao Haolu, Wang Baonu, Xiao Tianji, Xiao Tingqi and others, they also held official positions. These people hated the Song Dynasty's monarchs and ministers for the Jin alliance and the help of the troops to attack Liao, and they all wanted to take revenge for it, and they all echoed the intention of the Song Dynasty.

As for why Zong Wang and Mu Han insisted on asking for the Song Dynasty, in addition to the reasons mentioned above, there is also a certain background. It turned out that in order to reward Zongwang, Jin Taizu Aguda gave the two of them the merit of Liao, and gave it to Zongwang with Yu Liyan, the daughter of Emperor Tianzuo of Liao, and gave it to Sticky Han with Xiao Shi, the wife of Emperor Tianzuo. The princess of Shu and the Xiao family were in pain of losing their country, and they hated both the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty and the monarchs and ministers of the Jin Kingdom. But they also knew that they didn't have the ability to turn the world upside down, so they did everything possible to curry favor with Zongwang and Muhan, and took the opportunity to sow discord from them, hoping to break out a continuous war between the Jin and Song dynasties. They hope to see a scene where both Song and Jin are defeated and difficult to clean up, creating a chance for the Liao people to make a comeback. Although this was their wishful thinking, it could also play a certain role in fueling the situation at the time. Zong Wang and Mu Han trusted them in every way and obeyed their words.

Jin Taizong Wu Qimai already had the intention of using troops against the Song Dynasty at this time, but the main reason why he did not dare to make a decision was that he did not understand the reality of the Song Dynasty, and he was afraid of falling into the mud and could not extricate himself. Therefore, in just a few months, three consecutive envoys were sent to the Song Dynasty, the first was to thank Tonghao, the second was to win the victory, and the third was to celebrate the Tianning Festival.

These envoys all had a very special mission, that is, to observe the dangers of the mountains and rivers along the way, and to inquire about the treasury of the Song Dynasty and the reality of military equipment. At that time, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty also received a side report, saying that Sticky Han was in Xijing, and Zongwang was in Pingzhou to prepare for war. Therefore, the kings and ministers of both countries are reciting their own scriptures and beating their abacus beads. But at the negotiating table, it was still a gentle breeze and drizzle, and there was no tension.

After the Jin envoy returned, he reported to Jin Taizong Wu Qimai what he had seen and heard in the Song Dynasty. When Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy this, he already had an idea in his heart. Yelu Yujian and Liu Yanzong successively offered advice, thinking that the Southern Dynasty could be cut down, and the soldiers did not need too much, and the required food and salary could be taken from along the way. These views are attached to the original intention of Jin Taizong Wu Qimai.

At this juncture, another incident occurred that strengthened the determination of Jin Taizong Wu to buy the southern expedition to the Northern Song Dynasty, that is, 3,000 people of the Northern Song Dynasty's Yisheng Army and 500 Yizhou Changsheng Army rebelled to the Jin Dynasty, making the Jin people more aware of the strength and weakness of the Song Dynasty.

In October of the third year of Tianhui, Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy an edict to the generals to cut down the Song Dynasty. He also served as the marshal of the capital, and sat in the capital of Huining Mansion. With the advance of the left deputy marshal, the commander of the left deputy marshal, the commander of the left Jinwu general Yelu Yujian was the marshal and the right capital supervisor, and entered Taiyuan from Xijing. With Zongwang as the capital of Nanjing Road, the mother of Yan is the vice. Liu Yanzong, who knew the Privy Council, also led the Han army to the capital, and entered Yanshan from Pingzhou.

Zong Wang heard this and said: "Mother Yan and the minister are uncles, and they are the elders and ministers, please take Mother Yan as the capital and supervise the war." Jin Taizong Wu begged to obey his invitation, so he took Yan Mu as the capital of Nanjing Road, Si drank as the vice, Zong Wang as Yan Mu, and Liu Yanzong supervised the battle between the two armies.

Judging from this troop deployment, Jin Taizong Wu begged to buy just to collect Yanjing, and Muhan's invasion of Taiyuan was just to cooperate with Zongwang's action to collect Yanjing. Later, the development of the situation was not only unexpected by Mu Han, Zong Wang and others, but even unexpected by Jin Taizong Wu Qimai.

When the envoy of the Jin State sent an envoy to the Song State, in order not to make the Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers suspicious, he revered each other with good words, and also opened his mouth, and promised to cede the two prefectures of Wei and Ying, as well as the two counties of Lingqiu and Feihu, to the Song Dynasty. The monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty did not think that this was the envoy of the Jin State playing tricks and casting smoke, but believed it to be true, so he sent Tong Guan to receive these places.

When Tong Guan arrived in Taiyuan, he heard the news that Sticky Han had raised troops to the south, and he was suspicious and disagreed. He sent Ma Kuo and Xin Xingzong as envoys, intending to go to Xijing to meet Muhan to claim the land to be returned. When Ma Kuo and the others arrived in front of the army, they were treated by the soldiers strictly, only allowing the three officials to enter, and ordering them to participate in the court, as if it was a gift to meet the gold lord.

Ma Kuo and others were stubborn at first, and later they had to worship them. After discussing the matter of the mountain for the first time, Mu Han said: "At the beginning of my country's Great Sage Emperor and Emperor Zhao, he crossed the sea and made an oath for eternity. Unexpectedly, Gui Chaoyin accepted Zhang Jue and took Yanjing to flee to the government and the people. This dynasty is chasing back, but who knows that it has deceived each other with false words, and now I want to argue with you about the merits. Ma Kuo said: "This dynasty only missed the big plan because of prudence, and I followed Zhang Jue's request, and my emperor often taught it." May the handsome old be remembered and not reminisce. And please deliver the land of Wei and Ying Prefectures, as well as Feihu and Lingqiu counties. ”

Sticky Han heard this, sneered and said, "It's really weird, do you still want to get two states and two counties?" I'll tell you the truth, and you won't have to be arrogant. In front of the mountain and behind the mountain, it is all my family's land. If you have anything else, then well, your family can also cut off another few cities and hand them over to me. Let's exchange land for land and redeem each other, even if it is fair and reasonable, we will not suffer losses. Go quickly, and I'll send someone to protest against the Council. ”

Ma Kuo saw that Mu Han's tone was resolute and his attitude was tough, and he couldn't do anything. Since Datong returned to Taiyuan, he told Tong Guan in sticky words, Tong Guan said: "At the beginning of the Jin Dynasty, how many military horses could there be at that time, how dare you say such things and do such things now?" Ma Kuo said: "They deeply hated Zhang Jue in this dynasty, and they were provoked by the subordinates of the Liao State, so they sought revenge. In this way, you should prepare quickly to prevent accidents. ”

Tong Guan listened and ignored it. Soon, Mu Han sent Wang Jieru again, evacuated the thumb book to Taiyuan, and blamed him for transgressing the alliance and accepting rebellion, and the words were extremely tough. Tong Guanxiang: "Why didn't you tell me in the past about such a big event?" He said, "Now that the war has risen and the war has begun, what else is there to tell?" The land of the east and north of the river should be cut quickly, bounded by the big river, and the ancestral worship of the Song Dynasty can also be preserved.

When Tong Guan heard this, he was angry and reversed, and he didn't know what to do. In the name of going to Que to discuss and return to Beijing, Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan, advised: "Jinren Yumeng, the marshal should meet all the strong men to take precautions." Now that the Taishi is gone, people's hearts will be shaken, in fact, they will send the land east of the river to the country of Jin. If Hedong is lost, how can Hebei be saved? May the Taishi stay less, and work together to resist the enemy. Taiyuan is a dangerous city, and people are also accustomed to war. Jin Bing is here, and he may not be able to overcome it. ”

Tong Guan was furious when he heard this, and said: "I, Tong Guan, was ordered to declare resistance, not a minister who defends the land. Taishou must want to keep Tong Guan, so what are the marshals set up by the imperial court doing? So he left without resignation. Zhang Xiaochun sighed: "In his life, Master Tong made a little majesty, but when he faced danger, he was timid, cowardly, and ran away with his head in his arms, what face did he have to see the Son of Heaven?" "I want to know what happens next, and listen to the next breakdown.
