The two ends with the pointed needle are not good needles, and the two ends are uneasy and kind.

- Hui proverb

Weizhou was originally the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty in Hebei in the Central Plains, and was later occupied by the Liao State of the Khitans. After the Jin State eliminated the Liao State, it was logical to take over the North China region of the Great Song Dynasty occupied by the Liao State. As a result, Weizhou became the territory of the Kingdom of Jin.

Wu Xian was a Han landowner in Weizhou (present-day Jingcheng, Hebei Province), with a certain economic strength, high prestige and great appeal in the local area. He knew that the Great Song Dynasty could no longer recover the Han land in the Central Plains, so he accepted the rule of the foreign Jin State with great satisfaction.

As early as 1214, when the Mongol army invaded Hebei, Wuxian immediately recruited troops and organized a local armed organization to guard the Xishan of Weizhou to resist the Mongol army.

In the spring of 1217, Shi Hai, a general of the Jin Kingdom, rebelled against the imperial court in the area of Zhending (present-day Zhengding, Hebei Province). As an oppressed nation, Wu Xian was actually indignant, claiming to seek justice for the emperor of the Jin State, personally led the troops to eliminate Shihai, and stationed himself in Zhending City.

The Emperor of the Jin Kingdom saw the martial immortal's approach in his eyes and was happy in his heart.

The Emperor of Jin was so mediocre for a while, he left the truth of his lips and teeth cold, and he did not know the strategy and tactics of Lian Henghe and Zong, and under the critical situation of the Mongol army in the north, he still frequently recruited mercenaries to his neighbor in the south, the Southern Song Dynasty, and launched many wars in a row.

In the spring of 1219, the Jin State suddenly decided to launch a full-scale attack on the Southern Song Dynasty, perhaps in order to warn the Southern Song Dynasty that it must defend itself, or in case the Great Mongols occupied the north of the Yangtze River in advance to find a place for themselves to survive.

The soldiers and civilians of the Southern Song Dynasty rose up against the invaders of the Jin State.

Back then, Gong Kaiyuan lived in seclusion in Lin'an with the ugly reputation of a traitor. As the years passed inexorably, he gradually entered old age and died of illness in 1171.

His son Gong Wanli is now old and frail, gray-haired, and unable to go to the battlefield to defend his family and country. He resolutely sent his two sons, Gong Guangzu and Gong Yaozu, to the front line and fought the enemy to the end.

Gong Guangzu and Gong Yaozu shared the same hatred and hatred with the army of the Southern Song Dynasty, and successively defeated the invading army of the Jin State in Da'an Army (now northwest of Ningqiang, Shaanxi Province), Zaoyang (now part of Hubei Province), and Haozhou (now Fengyang, Anhui Province), breaking the attempt of the Jin army to attack on all fronts, so that the Guozuo of the Southern Song Dynasty was temporarily safe and stable.

At that time, the world situation was still chaotic and the future was not very clear. The Khorezm Empire in the west, the Western Xia and Jin kingdoms in the east, were all battling the mighty rise of the Great Mongol state. At the same time, the Jin State was at war with the Southern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia.

When Genghis Khan led his four sons to sweep through the city of the Khorezm Empire and the good news was spreading, the Mongol marshal Mu Huali, who stayed in the east, was also commanding thousands of troops to fight in the territory of today's northern China, seizing the opportunity to fight against the Jin State and Western Xia.

The Jin expansion to the south was met with strong resistance, and the Mongol armies to the north were also aggressive.

In the autumn of 1220, Mu Huali persuaded Yan Shi, the vice governor of Jinan Prefecture, to surrender to Yan Shi, the vice governor of Jinan Prefecture, and recruited 300,000 families from eight prefectures under his jurisdiction to join him, and also gave Yan Shi the title of official and promoted him to a higher position.

This shows that Mu Huali is not a reckless man who can only ride horses to fight, but a commander with a wise mind. He found that the tactic of persuading the feudal officials to surrender was very effective, and he could get a large area of land without having to mobilize a single soldier. Therefore, he made persistent efforts and successfully recruited a group of Han local officials, such as Wu Gui, the envoy of Xingzhou Jiedu, Shi Si, the leader of the Loyal and Righteous Army, and Zhang Lin, the pacification envoy and governor of Jingdong, who not only strengthened the strength of the Mongol army, but also gained a large area of land. Mu Huali happily woke up laughing from his dream, picked up the wine jug on the side of the couch and drank heavily.

Not to be outdone, the Emperor of the Jin State concocted the same method to bribe the Han tyrant armed leaders Wu Xian, Wang Fu, Guo Wenzhen and Hu Tianzuo in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong and other places, and went toe-to-toe with the Mongols to order Wu Xian and other nine powerful Han local officials and landlord armed leaders to be promoted to dukes, trying to use their power to guard the state capitals in Hebei and other places, and let them lead their own soldiers and horses to defend the city and seize land for the Jin State.

At that time, Wuxian was ordered by the Emperor of the Jin State to govern Zhongshan Mansion (now Dingxian County, Hebei), Zhending Mansion, Wozhou (now Zhao County, Hebei Province), Jizhou (now Ji County, Hebei Province), Weizhou, Zhenning Prefecture (now Hebei Province), Pingding Prefecture (now Pingding, Shanxi Province), Baoqizhai (now Hebei Province, Luxi) and other state capitals.

The two foreign countries vigorously fought for the homeland of the Great Song Dynasty, and the surrender faction of the Great Song Dynasty became the sweet and sweet food for both sides, and I don't know how they would one day face the Great Song Emperor and the ancestors.

The war between Jin Guoda and Mongolia has been in a tug-of-war. Taiyuan, Pingyang (present-day Linfen, Shanxi Province), Zhending (present-day Zhengding, Hebei Province), and Dongping (present-day Shandong Province) were in the hands of the Mongols today, and tomorrow they were returned to the hands of the Jin. The Han people here suffer from this, living in the chaos of war every day, the prices in the market are soaring, the food in the people's homes is cut off, and not only that, they can't even figure out which country they belong to, and there is a serious blurring of national and national identity.

Wang Changshun, a descendant of Wang Chen, opened a restaurant in Taiyuan City. He watched the Mongol soldiers withdraw from the city in a hula, and he couldn't help but feel a secret joy in his heart: the Tartar soldiers have finally gone back, and our good days have come.

Wang Changshun immediately arranged for the young man in the restaurant: "Fugui, go and lead the mule to prepare the car, and go to the countryside tomorrow to buy grain." After the grain is brought back, it is stored in a big house in the backyard, and even if there is a war in the future, there is no worry about running out of food, and there is no fear that the restaurant will run out of rice. ”

Wang Changshun is not alone in this big Taiyuan city. The faces of the people all over the city showed joyful smiles, and the wrinkles entangled in the center of their eyebrows also relaxed. Red paper-cuts are pasted on the windows of every house: the fat baby holds the golden toad in both hands, the carp makes a fortune and jumps over the dragon gate, the plum orchid bamboo chrysanthemum is lifelike, and the mandarin duck butterfly is vivid and cute. Although the technique of paper-cutting is clumsy, it has a unique meaning.

Although it is not the first day of the Lunar New Year in the first month, some folk artists turn out the dusty dry boats, bamboo dragons, suona and gongs and drums from the corners of the house, and dance excitedly in the open area.

Adults led their children and carried gift bags to visit relatives and friends, and enjoyed this rare and wonderful time.

Before the good days had passed for two or three days, the army of the Jin State rushed into Taiyuan City again. They went door to door to recruit troops and ask for food, and beat the people in Taiyuan back to the eighteenth layer of hell.

Wang Changshun sent Fu Gui to squat at the door of the restaurant and pretend to bask in the sun, as long as he saw the soldiers of the Jin Kingdom coming from afar, he hurriedly prepared some silver taels and went out to send them away, lest they break into the backyard and dig out the private grain.

Within a few days, the Jin army ran away again, leaving the city full of Taiyuan people staring wide-eyed.

In the autumn of 1222, Mu Huali led the Mongol army into Taiyuan again, driving the Jin army to Hezhongfu (present-day Yongji County, Shanxi Province) in southern Shanxi. Then, the Mongol army, with the cooperation of the Han general Shi Tianying, captured Hezhongfu. Soon after, the Mongol army crossed the Yellow River and attacked Chang'an (present-day Xi'an, Shaanxi Province) and Fengxiang (present-day Shaanxi Province) to the west.

The Mongol army could not attack Chang'an City for a long time, and the surrender also lost its magical effect. Mu Huali finally lost his patience and led his troops back to Shanxi. Walking to the territory of Wenxi (now part of Shanxi Province), Mu Huali suddenly fell ill and died here.

You can't go a day without a commander in the army. Muhuali's son, Bruus, immediately inherited his father's official position. His military talents were no less than his father's. Bruu led the Mongol army to the territory of Hebei, ready to clean up the Jin people and avenge his father's unpaid ambition.

After the Mongol army led by Bru entered Hebei, the local armed forces of Wuxian were weak and unable to resist, so they had to opportunistically betray the Jin State and hand over a large area of Hebei to the Mongol army. Therefore, Shi Tianni, the general of the Bru Feng Department, was the marshal of the soldiers and horses on the Hebei West Road, and Wu Xian was the deputy marshal.

The capitulationists, perhaps in their eagerness to confess their loyalty to their new masters, slaughtered their own countrymen even more ferociously than the invaders. Shi Tianze, a Han general under Bruu and Shi Tianni's younger brother, defeated the Red Jacket Army against the Mongol army at Wuma Mountain (in present-day Zanhuang, Hebei Province), and killed the leader of the Red Jacket Army, Peng Yibin, with his own hands. The following year, Shi Tianze took Mu Huali's younger brother to besiege Yidu (present-day Qingzhou, Shandong Province) in Shandong. In less than half a year, they forced Li Quan, the leader of the Shandong rebel army and the governor of Jingdong Road, to surrender and appoint him as the governor of Chuzhou in Huainan, Shandong.

Many prefectures and counties in Shandong then surrendered and willingly acted as servants of the new invaders.

In view of the heavy losses in the war against the Mongol army, the Jin Emperor finally understood that it would be detrimental to him if he continued to fight against several countries at the same time, so he immediately changed his previous policy of making enemies on three sides, suspended the attack on the Southern Song Dynasty in the south, made peace with the Western Xia in the northwest, and then concentrated his forces against the Mongol army, a fierce enemy in the north.

The Emperor of Jin sent hundreds of thousands of troops to garrison the Tongguan area of Shaanxi, and in addition, he sent 200,000 elite soldiers to hold on to the Yellow River for more than 2,000 miles, divided into four sections, forming a situation in which the Great Mongolia and the Jin State confronted each other across the Yellow River.

At this stage, Bruu paid attention to recruiting talents from the surrendered army, used the local armed forces of the Han and Khitan who had taken refuge in him, changed the practice of the Mongol army seizing land and did not defend it, and formally stationed himself in Hebei, Shanxi, Shandong, and some areas of Shaanxi, and established a political power by learning from the practices of the Jin people, and tried to implement administrative management, creating favorable conditions for the elimination of the Jin State and the establishment of a stable country in the future.

At this time, the political chameleon Wuxian suddenly found that the Jin Kingdom was showing signs of resurrection, and immediately turned his head to kill Shi Tianni, and took the head of his compatriot as a gift and threw himself back into the arms of the Jin Kingdom.

The Mongol army was furious at Wuxian's betrayal, and immediately sent elite troops to attack Wuxian, and soon defeated Wuxian's armament.

Wu Xian had no choice but to flee from the war-torn Zhending to Kaifeng Mansion, a subordinate territory in the south of the Jin Kingdom.

However, Martial Immortal bet on the wrong treasure again this time.
