At the same time as he gritted his teeth when he heard about the loss of the imperial chariot army, he single-handedly abducted a former eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom and captured a former eldest princess of the Liao Kingdom to return to the Song Dynasty. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

In fact, on the second day of his arrival in Xiongzhou, the highest-level 800-mile flyer in the army had already transmitted the news to Zhao Guan's family, and in the next few days, Tong Guan continued to use express mail to compile the news of the Song Dynasty that he heard from Huang Jie into a book and send it to Tokyo.

After all, it was decided by Zhao Guan's family that Huang Jie went to be the greeting envoy, and now that Huang Jie really abducted the former eldest princess of the Jin Kingdom, you can't afford to pay the bills?

Moreover, what particularly embarrassed the Zhao Guanjia was that in the things that Huang Jie did in the Jin Kingdom, the abduction of the eldest princess was quite light, and it was more serious than this, and he had to talk about the fact that he beat the former gold lord Wanyan Agu to death.

After all, Ma Zheng personally participated in this matter, and after coming back, Ma Zheng told the situation vividly in front of Zhao Guan's family, so how to deal with Huang Jie's illegal actions in this action to make Jin naturally very difficult.

However, on the afternoon of the third day when Huang Jie set off from Xiongzhou to Tokyo, he had a codex sent by the Imperial Car Army in front of Zhao Guan's house, the book was ten pages thick, and the writing was about 1,000 words, but there was only one thing between the lines, that is: The Jurchen wolf has the ambition to invade the Song Dynasty, and the redemption of the land of Yanyun is just a delaying tactic, and the Great Song Dynasty must not be fooled.

This codex immediately made Zhao Guanjia forget about the headache before, and then fell into deep thought.

When it comes to the land of Yanyun, we can't help but say that the initiator was stationed in Taiyuan, and Shi Jingjiao, the envoy of the Hedong Festival of the Later Tang Empire. Because of his nominal brother-in-law, the Later Tang Emperor Li Congke, he had the audacity to pull the flag and rebel, and the consequences of this were very serious: his own brother, cousin, and two sons were killed in the capital Luoyang, and tens of thousands of conquest troops sent by the emperor were rushing to Taiyuan from all directions.

In terms of Shi Jingjiao's strength at that time, it was naturally impossible to confront the Later Tang army at all, but Shi Jingjiao, the king of the nine eggs, was obviously not a fool, he naturally thought of a countermeasure in advance before he dared to tear his face, and his plan was not only to resist the attack of the Later Tang Dynasty, he wanted to destroy the Tang Dynasty and stand on his own, relying on the help of the Khitans.

Soon, Shi Jingjiao's plan was successfully realized, and the Khitan Emperor Yelu Deguang drove his own expedition, not only relieved Shi Jingjiao of the siege of Taiyuan, but also helped him to destroy the Later Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, establish the Later Jin Dynasty, and make him the emperor of the Central Plains Empire. In return, the Later Jin Dynasty declared itself a vassal to the Khitan, and the two countries became a father and son state, performing the gift of father and son, and at the same time ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Khitan.

Since then, Shi Jingjiao has become one of the most notorious figures in the entire history of China, and has been the best image spokesperson for the "emperor" and the "traitor" for thousands of years.

However, there is one point that still needs to be emphasized, that is, Shi Jingjiao is not a Han Chinese, he is a Shatuo (another branch of the Western Turks), and he has served among the four emperors of the Later Tang Dynasty, so for him, the emperor dreams of taking it by any means, there is nothing unacceptable, and it is indeed shameless to be willing to recognize the thief as his father, but later generations accuse him of "ignoring the interests of the country and the nation", which is really too demanding.

It is not difficult to see from the map that the area covered by the sixteen states of Yanyun is very vast, from east to west including today's Tianjin, Beijing, northern Hebei, and northern Shanxi, which are basically distributed in the inner (southern) side of the Great Wall, that is, the strategic support point behind the important military defense line of the Great Wall, of which Ying and Mo Erzhou have penetrated hundreds of miles into the hinterland of Hebei.

And the loss of this mountainous area, the entire north of the Central Plains Dynasty lost a natural military barrier to block the "Hu people iron cavalry", and there was no danger to defend thousands of miles to the south, until the banks of the Yellow River were all flat rivers, and the Central Plains opened the door from then on.

Therefore, in the next 400 years, the sixteen states of Yanyun have been far away from the Han land, which is called the eternal pain in the hearts of the Chinese Han people, and the "golden ou is flawless" is also known as the goal of the Central Plains Dynasty after Shi Jingjiao.

In the sixth year of Later Zhou Xiande (959 AD), Zhou Shizong Chai Rong first led the strong Later Zhou army to the north to invade the land of Yanyun, and in more than a month, he successively recovered Ying, Mo, Yi and Yijin (now Wen'an County, Hebei), Waqiao (now Xiongxian County, Hebei), and Sikou (now Baxian County, Hebei) three passes, a total of 17 counties, and achieved the greatest victory in the Central Plains against Liao since five dynasties. It's a pity that Chai Rong suddenly fell ill at this time, and died soon after, and the great cause of recovering Yanyun was also abandoned halfway.

Then when Zhao Kuangyin, the Taizu of this dynasty, set up an inner treasury, called "Sealing Pile Library", whose function is to set aside a certain proportion of surplus from the annual financial revenue and store it. Boss Zhao's idea was to redeem the sixteen states of Yanyun from the Khitan when the store was full of five million; If the Khitan refused, they used the money as war funds.

Zhao Kuangyin once said: "I bought a Khitan head with twenty-four silks." Its elite soldiers are only 100,000 people, and if they stop spending 2 million silk, the enemy will be exhausted. ”

But unfortunately, Taizu also died suddenly at the age of fifty, and his grand plan could not be realized.

Later, Taizong Zhao Guangyi coerced and destroyed the remnants of the Northern Han Dynasty, and the two northern expeditions to the Khitan ended in disastrous defeats, and the Song Empire's attempt to recover the Yanyun region by force also failed.

If we think about it in another direction, we can understand that after the northern regime obtained the land of Yanyun, on the one hand, it mastered the military convenience of driving directly into the Central Plains, and on the other hand, because the agricultural economy of the Yanyun area and the nomadic economy of the northern country formed a benign complementarity, it also greatly promoted the social development of the entire northern country, and became a fierce rival of the Central Plains Dynasty.

According to the information Huang Jie obtained from Qimeng, the sixteen states of Yanyun did not return to the territory of the Central Plains until the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, and now for the Great Song Dynasty, the land of Yanyun is undoubtedly a big pit. Although he did see the success of the redemption plan led by Tong Guan from the strange dream, it seems that Tong Guan was also crowned king, but it was obviously useless, and it was very important that soon after the Jin army drove straight south to invade the Song Dynasty, and spent millions of dollars to ransom the land of Yanyun was not finally given to the Jurchens.

However, what Huang Jie saw in his dream must not be taken out to say. And what he was able to come up with, it was obviously difficult to convince the Zhao Guanjia, who was almost about to lose his mind.

Therefore, Huang Jie, who was still running on the road, did not expect that after Zhao Guanjia read his codex, he also stared at a huge picture of the Great Song Dynasty on the wall of the dormitory, including the land of Yanyun, and was silent for a long time, but what he was thinking about at that time was: "This dream of coaxing the Jurchens to sell the land of Yanyun to us must still be there, what if it comes true?"
