At the beginning, the Song and Liao countries fought a vicious war for 25 years, although the purpose was for the sixteen states of Yanyun, but how many times the Song army was deflated under the city of Youzhou has been countless, so this city has undoubtedly become the city of remnants in the minds of the soldiers and civilians of the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, after a hundred years of operation of the Liao State, as far as the present day is concerned, if the advantages and disadvantages of the five capitals of the Liao State are evaluated, it may be said that the political status of the Liao State is the highest, and the Liao State Zhongjing covers the largest area, and the strategic significance of Xijing is the heaviest.

Because in the past few decades, Xijin Mansion has been the delivery point for the Great Song Dynasty to pay the "New Year's coin" to the Liao State.

After Shi Jingjiao of the Later Jin Dynasty ceded the sixteen states of Yanyun to Liao, Taizong of Liao promoted Youzhou to Nanjing in the first year of Huitong (938), and later changed it to Yanjing. Since then, Yanjing has been one of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty, and compared with the other four cities of the Great Liao, Yanjing has the most abundant materials, the most prosperous people, prosperous markets, and magnificent palaces. The emperors of the Liao Dynasty were uncertain about their whereabouts every year, but in the middle and late Liao Dynasty, Yanjing City became the capital city where the emperors of the Liao Dynasty came the most and stayed for the longest time.

Since ancient times, Youzhou has been a prosperous and wealthy township with dense population and flourishing arts, and the source of its wealth has a long historical root. In the second year of Jingde (1005), after Song Liao signed the alliance of Lanyuan, the Liao State first took the initiative to set up a field in Zhuozhou, Xincheng and Yunshuo areas south of Yanjing. In the same year, the Song Dynasty also set up fields in Xiongzhou, Bazhou and other places.

Since then, "the end (Song) Renzong, Yingzong's life, the Khitan stick to the alliance, the mutual market is endless" and Yanjing, as a metropolis along the border of the Liao-Song Dynasty, has naturally become the main place to manage the Yanchang, and the stable situation of peace and trade between the Liao-Song and Song dynasties has been maintained for more than 100 years, and the Yanjing area has benefited a lot.

It is said that in the heyday of Liao Shunzong, there are 300,000 people in Yanjing City, including Han, Khitan, Xi, Bohai, Jurchen and other nationalities, the city is divided into 26 "fang" cities, each fang has a wall, a square gate, and a fang name on the door, so as to manage the residents in the city.

According to the record of "Khitan National Chronicles", at that time, Yanjing City was "magnificent, there was a city in the north of the city, and the land and sea department stores were gathered in it." Cream, vegetables, melons, fruits, rice grains, etc., are inexhaustible, and mulberry, hemp and wheat, sheep, pigs, chickens and rabbits, do not ask to know...... The water is sweet and the soil is thick, and there are many people with skills", what a prosperous scene!

Therefore, for the Great Song Dynasty, if the entire Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures is regarded as a big pie with meat filling, then Yanjing City is the largest piece of meat on the pie. Therefore, not to mention that it is a big profit to buy this city for 500,000 guan, it is not a loss to buy this city alone for 1 million guan or 2 million guan, and now it seems to be a godsend.

Of course, whether this deal can be done or not depends on the meaning of Jin Ren, if he still has to ask Huang Jie's head to add to it as before, it will naturally not be able to talk.

But no one expected that Song Bingchen would agree!

This news spread to Huazhou that night, but Huang Jie sneered after reading it, and after reading Xinzha and Yue Fei, he also high-fived and shouted: "Huh? 500,000? If it is due to my temperament, even Wuguan will not be given to him! ”

Yue Fei's face was gloomy, looking at the letter in his hand and frowning, his young age had already shown a calm bearing that only adults have, and after thinking about it for a long time, he also asked in a low voice: "Could it be that Senior Brother Fei thinks that the Jin people will not keep the contract?" ”

Huang Jie smiled when he heard this, but shook his head and said: "Senior brother, have you forgotten, senior brother just told you a few days ago, what I saw along the way to the south this time, but seeing that the Jin people are not good at control, the general trend of moving people to the city, and even not repairing the damaged city, do you think that 500,000 Guan can really sell an intact Yanjing from the hands of the Jin people?" ”

Yue Fei was very surprised when he heard it, and hurriedly said, "Could it be ...... Is it really not an empty city? ”

Huang Jie laughed and said, "Empty city? If the senior brother of the empty city is willing to lose 10,000 taels of silver to you, the senior brother dares to bet with you, don't say that the Jin people will eat and wipe the city empty, but I am afraid that I will have to tear down the city and drive all the people in the city away, and it will be good to keep the city foundation and the Great Song Dynasty. ”

Huang Jie dared to say this, completely based on the appearance he saw from the strange dream. According to Qi Meng, after the Song and Jin agreed to redeem it, although the Jin people withdrew from Yanjing according to the agreement, they took away all the women and children and young people in the city, and looted the whole city, and even the giant wooden beams and pillars used in the inner palace of Yanjing were also dismantled and carried away, and even in order to facilitate the transportation of various materials, the Jin army even let the wrestlers in the army hold the bone duo sledgehammer, and demolished the four gates of Yanjing, and finally left a city full of old and weak, and the city was ruined and the Great Song Dynasty.

Moreover, in the strange dream, the Yanyun cities obtained by the Great Song Dynasty were all like this, but when the Great Song Dynasty happily invested huge manpower and material resources to gradually repair these cities, the Jin Kingdom suddenly found an excuse and went south again to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty, so that the Great Song Dynasty fell into a bamboo basket to draw water.

Therefore, Huang Jie was not at all interested in the purchase of Yanyun Land by one million guan and the redemption of Yanjing City by five hundred thousand guan!

It's just that there are many things in this world, it's not that if you're not interested in something, things will be far away from you.

Only five days later, the envoys of the Song and Liao countries, who had reached a ransom agreement, also joined hands on the road, and the Great Song Dynasty directly sent a huge delegation headed by Li Bangyan, supplemented by Zhou Bangyan, the Shaoqing of Honglu Temple, and nearly 200 officials from various ministries, departments, and ya, to go straight to Xiongzhou, preparing to go directly to Yanjing City to accept Yanjing City.

However, when the team passed through Huazhou, Zhou Bangyan, the old wet, sneaked out of the group and ran to Huazhou City to see Huang Jie, and also brought a handwritten letter from Zhao Guan's family. There is nothing important in the handwriting, just a few words of encouragement, and it is mentioned that the reason why he is holding the Jin Kingdom this time and can redeem Yanjing with 500,000 yuan, Huang Jie is also honored.

And if everything goes well, if Yanjing can really be recovered from Jin Guo, Huang Jie's contribution must be credited. However, the handbook also euphemistically said that before "everything goes well", I am afraid that Huang Jie will continue to stay in Huazhou, and don't run around if he has nothing to do.

After reading the handwritten book, Huang Jie didn't say anything, but Zhou Laoshi asked Huang Jie with a shy face, wanting to know how to receive this Yanjing City, Huang Jie patted his head, and then smiled and made a note with him, and then waited to watch the show.

Huang Jie's Tiao Chen was first sent from Huazhou to Tokyo, and then sent from Tokyo to the north, catching up with the envoys in Kaide Mansion, and Jin envoy Song Bingchen After reading Tiao Chen, it is said that he spurted out a mouthful of old blood on the spot and fainted directly.
