The flowers bloom at two ends, each with a branch, but it is said that the sticky Han and the golden vulture play the table to the Jin State Shangjing, after the Emperor of the Jin State finished Yan A Gu beat the imperial view, and got the West Road Army to report, directly said that the pursuit of the Liao Tianzuo Emperor to Jiashan, the end of the Yan Agu immediately ordered the army, the royal drive to personally pursue the Liao Emperor, and the edict of the Sticky Han, Jin Wushu, can let go of the attack on Yanjing.

In the sixth year of Xuanhe of the Great Song Dynasty and in June of the second year of Jin Tianhui, Emperor Wanyan Aguda led an army of 100,000 troops from Shangjing to pursue Emperor Liao Tianzuo. After the completion of the Jin West Route Army, Yan Yu's troops heard that the emperor was personally recruited, and their morale was greatly boosted, and the troops pursued Emperor Tianzuo, defeated the Liao soldiers, and Emperor Tianzuo fled again, and the two states of naturalization and Fengsheng surrendered one after another. Wanyan Aguda led the army to Fengshengzhou, and after joining forces with Wanyan Yu, Liaochen of Ulzhou also came to surrender.

After getting Ulzhou, Li Qianshun, the lord of the Western Xia State, sent envoys to come and present the title of vassal to the Jin State. However, there was news from Yanjing that the Northern Liao Emperor held on to Yanjing, and the attack of Sticky Han and Jin Wushu did not go well. Hearing this, Ah Gu ordered Yan Yu to continue to pursue Emperor Liao Tianzuo, and he commanded Yan Lou and other troops to march towards Liao Yanjing.

One day later, the Aguda army arrived outside Yanjing City, and Mu Han and Jin Wushu led the army to catch them, and the two of them were ashamed because of the attack on Yanjing, and they came to the army to ask for guilt. Ah Gu laughed and said: "The Han people have a saying, victory and defeat are a common thing in soldiers, and there are so many heroes in the world, and you should not underestimate the generals of the enemy country." Immediately, the two of them were dismissed, and Sticky Han, Jin Wushu and others thanked them.

At the moment in the Golden Horde, Aguta summoned the generals to ask about the battle situation, and Mu Han said them one by one. It turned out that since the defeat of the Song army in Yanjing, the morale has been greatly boosted, and the old and weak women and children in Yanjing City have been sent away, and the Liao army has no worries about fighting.

After listening to what the generals said, Ah Guda pondered for a moment and said: "It seems that this Yanjing City, how many are the southern countries?" The generals didn't know why, but only Guo Yaoshi understood in the tent, and went out to play: "There are many people in the Song Kingdom, and many cities are extremely strong, as if Hejian Mansion, Daimyo Mansion, Taiyuan Mansion and so on are all famous fortified cities in the world. ”

Ah Gu snorted, seeing that it was Guo Yaoshi, remembering that he was able to see the generals, he had a very good memory, and said with a smile: "General Guo is really the eyes and ears of our army, I don't know if General Guo has a good strategy to break the enemy?" ”

Guo Yaoshi said: "Our army is good at field warfare and is clumsy in attacking cities, but since ancient times, there has been no strong city that cannot be attacked, only the hearts of people who cannot be attacked. This Yanjing City is not difficult to take, but now the Liao people in the city are united and it is difficult to take it. The young general thought that this battle was the attack on the city and the heart on the top. ”

Ah Gu stroked his palms and laughed: "It's very agreeable, I came here for this." Then he said to Sticky Han, Jin Wushu, Wanyan Lou Room and others: "Yan Liao has been able to resist me for many years, all thanks to Emperor Yan Liao, I heard that this person is very popular with the people, so close to the hearts of the people to fight to the death, even if our army captures Yanjing, it will definitely suffer a lot." If he is willing to surrender, he can follow the example of Western Xia, call him a vassal and seal his domain for a generation in Liaodong. ”

Sticky Han frowned when he heard this: "Your Majesty, this Yanliao Emperor Yelu Ao Lu is among the Liao people, and he is very popular, and if he does not get rid of it, he is afraid that it will be difficult for the Liao land to be attached." Ah Gu laughed and said: "He is not on the right throne, there is my army in front of him, the Liao people can still be single-minded, if he really surrenders to me and is called a vassal on the table, can the Liao people still believe in him?" ”

When the generals heard this, they all worshiped the spirit of the bones. At that moment, Ah Gu looked at Guo Yaoshi with a smile and said, "General Guo is an old man of the Liao army, is he willing to persuade him to surrender to enter the city?" Hearing this, Guo Yaoshi was suddenly frightened and half cold, he surrendered to the Jin people, causing the Jin army to go south, and the Yanjing Liao soldiers hated him deeply, and asked him to be a messenger, didn't he want his life?

Ah Guda squinted at Pharmacist Guo, put away his smile, and said slowly: "General Guo, what, don't you want to go?" Guo Yaoshi hurriedly bowed down and said, "The young general is willing to go." Immediately, Ah Guda ordered Guo Yaoshi to be the chief envoy, and sent the general A Lihe as the deputy envoy to go to Yanjing to persuade him to surrender.

After Pharmacist Guo left, Ah Guda looked at the golden generals such as Sticky Han and Jin Wushu and said slowly: "There are many strong cities in the south, it is not difficult to defeat its army, but it is difficult to go down its city, and the south country now has an alliance with me, and when I am here, I must not use swords and soldiers." After a pause, Ah Gu looked at the south and said leisurely: "If you want to look south, behind me, you can plan for yourself!" "Sticky Han and other golden generals are all in their hearts, and they all bow down to receive their orders.

After that, sure enough, the Jin army did not invade the Song Dynasty in the south when Aguta was alive, but unfortunately Aguta's life was short, and a few months after the destruction of Liao, Aguda died, and his sentence not to use the sword soldiers only allowed Song Jin to maintain peace for less than a year.

However, it was said that Guo Yaoshi had a sad face and a clutch together, brought a few followers, and went to Yanjing under the banner of a messenger, and after explaining his intentions, the Liao army reported to the Northern Liao Emperor Yelu Aolu. When the generals of the Liao army heard that it was Guo Yaoshi who was coming, they all clamored for him to enter the city and then kill him. Yelu Ao Lu said: "The two countries are fighting, do not kill the envoy, teach him to come, listen to what he has to say." ”

Then the Liao army put down the hanging basket, the envoy of the Jin State and the entourage of the capital to the city, Guo Yaoshi and the two went to the Golden Palace to see Yelu Ao Luhu, the generals of the Liao army were angry eyes. Yelu Ao Lu asked, "Pharmacist Guo, you are already a courtier of the Jin Kingdom, what are you doing here?" ”

Along the way, Guo Yaoshi thought about how to persuade Yelu Ao Lu, and seeing that he was still able to talk to him with a pleasant face, he secretly sighed that this King of Jin was really virtuous, and his heart moved, and he secretly thought: "Why don't you talk about him with Yelu Aolu's benevolence, righteousness and virtue." ”

At that moment, Guo Yaoshi fell to the ground and cried loudly: "The young general was forced to surrender before, but he was very grateful for His Majesty's kindness, and he came here to save His Majesty and the soldiers and civilians of Yanjing." ”

Yelu Aolu sighed when he heard this, and asked, "How can I save me?" Guo Yaoshi cried: "Now that the Xia State has presented itself to the Dajin State as a vassal, and the Song State has betrayed its promise and broken the covenant, how can the land of Yannan be kept for a long time?" At present, His Majesty the Dajin Emperor has personally driven the expedition here, 200,000 troops are attacking, and it is already a matter of time before Yanjing City is broken. This time, the emperor of Dajin Kingdom loved the world, and he couldn't bear the misery of Yanjing City, so he specially ordered us to come and persuade His Majesty to surrender. The emperor of the Dajin Kingdom said that if His Majesty is willing to surrender, he will definitely not kill a person in vain, and after His Majesty surrenders, he can follow the example of the Xia State and be called a vassal in Liaodong, and he will not lose the position of a prince. ”

When the Liao generals in the palace heard this, they were all furious, and they all wanted to draw their swords and kill Guo Yaoshi, but they were stopped by Yelu Ao Lu, for no other reason, that is, Guo Yaoshi's words moved him. Yelu Ao Lu has always been benevolent, did Guo Yaoshi's sentence just watch the soldiers who shared his weal and woe die without a place to be buried, which really made him quite moved.

Now tens of thousands of Liao troops in Yanjing City are guarded, although they can hold on for a while, but there will eventually be when the grain and grass run out, and the people and horses are tired, when the time comes, the Jin army must kill the city to vent its anger, do you really want these many people to die for themselves? Now the emperor of Jin Guo personally came to the city and sent a messenger to persuade him to surrender, if he surrendered, he might be able to save everyone's lives.

Seeing that Yelu Ao Lu stopped the future from killing himself, Guo Yaoshi knew that there was a play, and hurriedly persuaded him at the moment: "Your Majesty, as the so-called saving a life is better than building a seventh-level floating slaughter, now is a critical juncture, Your Majesty opened the city and surrendered, saving the lives of many soldiers, which is a great achievement." If the lives of the soldiers of the whole city are martyred, how can you bear it? Xia Guo has no help, Song Guo betrayed, Yanjing City will break sooner or later, Your Majesty should put the lives of soldiers first. ”

As the saying goes, mercy is not in charge of soldiers, and Yelu Aolu's biggest weakness is that he is too merciful, because he may be a good and virtuous king, but he will never be an emperor who can make a difference. After hearing this, Yelu Ao Lu frowned and said, "If I open the city and surrender, can the Dajin Emperor promise not to kill a single person and treat the people and soldiers well?" ”

As soon as these words came out, all the Liao generals in the palace shouted together: "Your Majesty, we are all willing to fight to the death!" Yelu Ao Lu raised his hand to stop, and said with a long sigh: "The Xia State has already been called a vassal, and the Song State has also reneged on the alliance, and there are no reinforcements from outside, how can Yanjing stay for a long time?" That's it, I intend to surrender to save the lives of tens of thousands of soldiers and hundreds of thousands of people inside and outside Yanjing City. Hearing this, all the Liao generals wept, but many of the ministers praised Yelu Ao Lu Ren De loudly.

Pharmacist Guo breathed a sigh of relief, sure enough, this Yelu Ao Lu Hu is still too merciful. At that time, Yelu Aolu ordered Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen and other Hanchen as envoys, and discussed the surrender of the city with Guo Yaoshi and Ah Lihe.

Then Zuo Qigong and Yu Zhongwen went to the Jin camp, and when they saw Ah Guta, they discussed it properly, and Ah Guta promised that after the surrender of Yanjing City, he would not kill a single person and treat the people well.

On August 7, the sixth year of Xuanhe, in order to save the lives of the soldiers in the city, the Northern Liao Emperor Yelu opened the city gate to reduce the gold, and ordered the Yannan Xiao cadres and the rest of the states and counties to surrender together. After Akuta was surrendered, he really ordered the troops not to kill a single person, treat the people well, and named Yelu Aolu as the king of Guide, and he was vassal of Liaodong. Jin Taizu entered Yanjing City and accepted the congratulations of the officials. So far, the Jin soldiers have won a great victory, and all the five capitals of the Liao State have been conquered.

After entering Yanjing City, within a few days, he had to report that Zhao Liangsi, the envoy of the Song Kingdom, and others asked to see him, and Ah Guta asked him to meet in the Golden Palace. After Zhao Liangsi went to the palace, he met Ah Guta, and after being polite, Zhao Liangsi said his intention in a twisted manner.

After inquiring, Ah Gu smiled and said, "Your country's Tong Privy wants to redeem the land of Yanyun's sixteen states with gold silk?" Zhao Liangsi responded, looking at Ah Guda with anxiety, only afraid that Ah Guda would refuse.

But he didn't expect Ah Guda to smile after a moment of silence: "The Song State and I have a maritime alliance and agreed to go to Liaodi together, since the Song Kingdom has also sent troops this time, naturally we can't go back empty-handed." There are many Han people in the land of Yanyun, and it is not impossible to cooperate with the Song Kingdom. Zhao Liangsi was overjoyed when he heard this, but the sticky Han in the tent frowned and said hurriedly: "Your Majesty, the Song army was defeated with the Liao army and captured Yanyun, and his Song army did not contribute at all, how can he return it to them?"
