Chapter 22: The Human Heart

Probably the attitude from the Jin side was that there was some kind of illusion in the Song court that we could take advantage of the other party, or that the Jin people's move to return the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Song State was considered to be kind and polite, or that the mistake was that the emperor of the Song State and his ministers were all N...... After signing the contract and dividing the territory, Song Guo has been playing all kinds of small actions behind his back. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

In the second year of Liaobao, the fourth year of Xuanhe in the Northern Song Dynasty, and the sixth year of Tianfu in the Jin Dynasty, the Jin and Song Dynasty jointly attacked the Liao State with the "Maritime Alliance". The Song failed to attack Yanjing (southwest of present-day Beijing) and Xijing (present-day Datong, Shanxi) as agreed. Jin won a great victory and occupied most of the Liao State. Zhang Jue, the defender of the Liao State, surrendered to Jin Wanyan Zonghan in Pingzhou, and was named the envoy of the Linhai Navy and the governor of Pingzhou.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty used the maritime covenant to seek the two places of Yanjing and Xijing, and Jin Taizu gave them Yanjing, Zhuo, Yi, Tan, Shun, Jing, and Ji. Since Pingzhou entered the Khitan nationality, it was organized into an army, so it did not give Pingzhou to the Song people, but regarded Pingzhou as Nanjing, and Zhang Jue served as the guard.

The Jurchens, who ruled a large country with hundreds of thousands of people, naturally had a lot of distrust of non-native armies. Zhang Jue probably felt threatened, and felt that with heavy troops in hand, he might not be able to make a big career with the elite troops in his hands. There is a good example in front of you, didn't Guo Yaoshi get a high position by relying on his often defeated army in the early Song Kingdom.

Pharmacist Guo did it, couldn't he Zhang Jue do it? Or for some other reason, in short, after Zhang Jue surrendered to the Jin State, because of one reason or another, he began to look at Song Guo again.

Hearing that Zhang Jue had different aspirations, Jin Taizu sent envoys Liu Yanzong and Xianbo to preach the edict, and the edict said: "Pingshan County is Nanjing today, and the Jiedu envoy is now staying behind, and the favor to you is thick enough." Some people say that you have other intentions in secret, so why should you incite each other in this busy farming season? This is not a ploy to take advantage of danger, to tell you my opinion. ”

The first is that the Jurchens are brave and good at fighting, the second is that he himself is the top level in the world in terms of tactics and strategy, and the third is that he has a magnificent bearing, whether it is the Han or the Khitans, they can make the best use of their talents, so that they can win more with less, and destroy the behemoth of the Liao State with the weak and the strong.

Zhang Jue was frightened by Wanyan's edict, and he treated others with himself, if he changed places, he would not let go of the other party. Wanyan Aguda was originally well-intentioned, but his edict had the opposite effect, but made Zhang Jue make up his mind to join the Song State.

In May 1123, Zuo Qigong, Yu Zhongwen, Cao Yongyi, and Kang Gongbi went to Guangning, passed through Pingzhou, Zhang Jue sent people to kill them in the chestnut forest, and then occupied Pingzhou and defected from the Jin Dynasty and surrendered to the Northern Song Dynasty, which accepted Zhang Jue. Jin Taizu told the Nanjing officials after completing the edict, saying: "I temporarily lived in Yanjing and rewarded your officials and people for being the first to surrender, so I promoted Yanjing to the prefecture level as Nanjing, reduced forced labor, reduced taxes, and the favor has also arrived, so why bother to be a traitor and traitor?" Now I want to march to attack Nanjing, but it is the busy season of farming, and I can't bear to endanger the people because of a wicked person. Besides, the Liao country has been owned by me, and you are alone there, what can you do after all? Today, only the chief offender will be punished, and the rest will be released as well. ”

Zhang Jue's 50,000 soldiers and horses were stationed in the suburbs of Runzhou, trying to coerce the four prefectures of Qian, Lai, Run, and Xi. Wanyan Yan's mother set out from Jinzhou to go to the crusade, had defeated Zhang Jue, and wanted to take advantage of the victory to attack Nanjing, when it was rainy in the summer season and could not advance, so he retreated to the garrison in Haitu. Not long after, Wanyan Yanmu defeated Zhang Jue's army again, and later fought with Zhang Jue in Rabbit Ear Mountain, but Wanyan Yan's mother was defeated by Zhang Jue, and Zhang Jue reported to the Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Song Dynasty organized the Taining Army in Pingzhou, appointed Zhang Jue as the envoy of the festival, Zhang Dungu and others were crowned as Huiyu Pavilion to be systematized, and took out tens of thousands of taels of silver and tens of thousands of horses of silk to reward the army.

After defeating Yan Yanmu's army, Zhang Jue couldn't help but feel a little flustered, thinking that the so-called "Jurchens are not satisfied with 10,000 and are invincible" is just a joke, and that the Jurchens' combat effectiveness is just like that. However, he was wrong. Wanyan Yanmu is among the Jin people, but she is not even a second-rate general.

After the defeat of Wanyan Yanmu, Wanyan Aguta had already assigned Wanyan Zong to rush to Nanjing (Nanjing of the Jin Kingdom) by starry night. In November, Wanyan Zongwang was ordered by Jin Taizong to take over Wanyan Yanmu's army to crusade against Zhang Jue.

Wanyan Zongwang's real name is Hu Lu Bu, and he is the second son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguta, the Jin Dynasty clan, and a famous general. Wanyan Zongwang often followed Jin Taizu to conquer, often around the left, and repeatedly made great achievements. The Song people called it the "Second Prince", and he was the strongest general in the Jin army before the "Fourth Prince" Wushu.

After rushing to the army, Wanyan Zongwang only sorted out the army a little, and then set off overnight to defeat Zhang Jue, who went out of the city to meet the envoy of the Song Dynasty. This kind of hurricane attack directly blinded Zhang Jue, who claimed to be a famous general. The feeling of falling from heaven to hell made Zhang Jue lose the confidence to fight the Jin soldiers.

Even if Zhang Jue still had tens of thousands of troops in his hands, when facing an army of less than 10,000 Jin, he could only throw away his armor and flee, and he didn't even dare to enter Pingzhou, and fled directly to the Song Kingdom.

Wanyan Zongwang collected the remnants of the soldiers left by Zhang Jue, and on the other hand, accused the Xuanfu Division of the Northern Song Dynasty with the fact of rebellion, and asked them for Zhang Jue. As a result, the Song Dynasty did another dumbfounded thing.

Fuwang Anzhong hid Zhang Jue in the armor treasury and deceived Zong Wang, saying, "There is no such person." Wanyan Zongwang asked for it more urgently, Wang Anzhong killed a person who looked similar to Zhang Jue to replace Zhang Jue, and someone who knew Zhang Jue in the Jin Dynasty said: "It's not Zhang Jue." Wang Anzhong had no choice but to take Zhang Jue out and count his crimes, Zhang Jue scolded the Song people for not allowing people to speak, so Wang Anzhong killed Zhang Jue, wrapped his head and gave it to the Jin people.

Either don't accept the generals of other countries before, or carry it to the end, the Song Dynasty first accepted Zhang Jue, and then killed him, that is, both sides are not pleased, and they are not human inside and outside. On the one hand, he offended the Jin Kingdom again, and on the other hand, he chilled the hearts of those generals.

Not to mention anything else, Guo Yaoshi's 50,000 troops and hundreds of thousands of township soldiers are watching from the sidelines. Pharmacist Guo himself said, "What if you come to ask for a pharmacist? ”

Doing big things and sacrificing their lives, seeing small profits and forgetting their lives, the irresponsible behavior of the Song State made the Han people of the old Liao State who were originally committed to the Song State because of the reason of the nation quickly take refuge on the side of the Jin State. To these Han Chinese in the Northland, the Jurchens were bastards, but the Song Dynasty was not a good thing either.

Since none of this is a good thing, it's better to find a thigh-hugging jerk that looks more reliable.
