Since the accession of Emperor Tianzuo, the Liao Dynasty nobles have been more and more oppressed and extorted by the Jurchen tribes, and the native products of the Jurchen region, such as ginseng, mink, famous horses, Beizhu, Junying, beeswax, linen, etc., in addition to paying tribute to the Liao Dynasty in accordance with the regular ration, the officials and merchants on the northeast border of the Liao Dynasty under the connivance of the imperial court often went to the field with "low value" to force purchases, called "fighting the Jurchens", which had long planted hatred in the hearts of the Jurchen people. Emperor Liao Tianzuo ordered the unified army Xiao Tzu Buye to lead the Khitan and Bohai soldiers 800 people into Ningjiang Prefecture for defense, Aguta mobilized the troops of various tribes and marched to Ningjiang Prefecture, the soldiers of the tribes met in the flowing water, a total of 2,500 people, Aguta led the soldiers to sacrifice to heaven and earth, and took the oath, saying: "You work together and do your best, the meritorious slaves and maids can be civilians, civilians can be officials, and those who originally had official positions can be promoted according to the size of their merits, and if they violate the oath and die, their families cannot be pardoned." "The next time, arrived at the Liao border, and met with the Bohai Navy, Aguda shot the Liao general Yelu Xie ten, the Liao soldiers were defeated, seven or eight out of ten dead, the Jurchen soldiers took advantage of the victory to conquer the city of Ningjiangzhou, Aguta sent people to surrender the Bohai people of the Tieli Department under the rule of the Liao Dynasty and the Liao Jurchens (compiled into the Liao Jurchens), Wanyan Aguta also captured a large number of horses and property.
The good news came to the king one after another, Xiao Sixian, the capital of the Liao Dynasty, and Xiao Wuna, the deputy commander of the Liao Dynasty, led the army of Zhulu to attack the Jurchens, concentrated in the north of the Yazi River, Aguda led the troops of 3,700 to the enemy, the Liao soldiers were preparing to cross the river, the Jurchen army repelled head-on, crossed the river and landed on the shore, the two armies met in the river, the wind would rise, the dust covered the sky, the Jurchen army took advantage of the situation to attack, defeated the Liao soldiers, captured a large number of chariots, horses, armor, weapons, Aguda incorporated the captured Liao soldiers into the Jurchen army, and the Jurchen army grew to 10,000 people, The Battle of Chuhedian was a battle that decided the surname, and the Jurchen army won smoothly, and it was overwhelming.

This kid is so fierce, if he is not his son-in-law, and now he is so obedient, Wang Bian can really see the rise of the Dajin Kingdom, and then Wang Bian secretly deployed Western Xia, Wang Shi's whole army pressed to the Liaoxia border, and the Liao Dynasty finally couldn't stand it, and sent people to urgently ask for reinforcements from the Great Song Dynasty.
There was such a big thing happening in an ally, Zhao Ji couldn't sit by, Tong Guan, who had fully recovered his body, volunteered to send troops to help Liao, Zhao Ji didn't know that this was a step in Wang Panda's plan, so he happily agreed.
The army of the Song Dynasty had just crossed the land of Yanyun, and the Western Xia suddenly sent troops to disturb the Song, which was troublesome, and Zhao Ji thought to himself that it would not take long for the trouble to come again.
At this time, Tubo Ali Gu sent tribute to the Great Song Dynasty, and was willing to form an alliance to help the Song Dynasty resist the Western Xia, Zhao Ji was down-to-earth, but he saw that Tubo's condition was to return to Hehuang, Zhao Ji was worried again, this was in distress, and Dali in the southwest also convulsed and harassed the Song army, and Zhao Ji called it a headache.
He could never have imagined that all this was a pre-arranged game of chess next to the king, and he didn't know that the bigger chess was still to come.
Promised Tubo, Hehuang returned, sure enough, Tubo worked hard to beat away the Western Xia, Zhao Ji dropped some troops to support the southwest, Dali retreated without a fight, just when Zhao Ji breathed a long sigh of relief, a news that he didn't expect came, Tong Guan really will not be affected by the foreign monarch's life, not only did not help Liao, but captured the Liao lord, more fatal thing, the Dajin State fully occupied the Liao border, Wanyan impeached Libo is the emperor of the Dajin State.
It's not that Zhao Ji doesn't understand, it's that the world is changing too fast, and at this time Zhao Ji realized that something is wrong, what is wrong.
"Bring me the king of Zhennan, no, it's please." Zhao Ji suppressed his anger and ordered urgently.
"Your Majesty, you have something to do with me." The king was as calm as ever.
"Lord Wang, what's going on with the Great Golden Kingdom."
"That's an internal matter of the Liao Dynasty."
Zhao Ji really wanted to beat Wang Bian, it was impossible for Wang Bian not to know that he was still so calm in front of him, "What's going on with that Tong Guan." ”
"Tong Guan was ordered to aid Liao, since the civil strife in the Liao Dynasty has subsided, since the country has been changed to Dajin, Tong Guan's task has been completed."
"Hehehe" Zhao Ji could only smile bitterly.
"Then transfer Tong Guan back to the capital."
"Your Majesty can't."
"Why?"
"Think about it, now that the momentum of the Dajin Kingdom is strong, and Tong Guan has crossed the land of Yanyun, if Tong Guan retreats, won't we be able to give Yanyun to the Dajin Kingdom again."
"Oh." This made Zhao Ji a little surprised.
"In this way, the prince has a plan, and Tong Guan must be going to protect Yan Yun."
"Zhong Zhen, I think you are getting smarter and smarter, such a good opportunity, you didn't thank me, you called me in a hurry, do you want to cure my crimes."
"Thank you, thank you, uncle, look at what this is."
Zhao Ji couldn't help but be rude, he threw a volume on the table, and the king looked at it, he couldn't be more familiar, the agreement of the alliance of the states.
"What's going on, why is the Dajin Kingdom, which was just established, actually formed a federation with Western Xia, Tubo and even Dali, doesn't this know that I came from the Great Song Dynasty."
"Haha, they're moving fast enough." The king flipped through it.
"Brother Wang, you still said that there is nothing for you here."
"Yes, I planned this thing, is it okay now?"
"You, you" Zhao Xuan's nose was crooked, if he had changed before, he would definitely have patted the gentian and asked Wang Bian boldly, but now, he was really afraid of destroying the harmony between the two people, as well as this hard-won road of reform, but didn't Wang Bian force himself to a dead end.
"You say it first, do you agree or disagree?"
"At this point, if you don't agree, you have to agree, and if you don't agree, you have to agree."
"Smart, your emperor, think about it, they have all formed a federation and can besiege the Great Song Dynasty at any time, and now the heavy troops of the Great Song Dynasty are not in the court, how can you resist, instead of this, it is better to sign a federal agreement."
"Hmph, I thought you didn't have the heart to seize power." Zhao Ji snorted coldly and said.
"Of course not, the emperor of the Song Dynasty is still you, and although you gave Tubo Hehuang, but you now have the sixteen states of Yanyun, the sixteen states of Yanyun, the situation of the Great Song Dynasty for many years without natural danger can only be maintained by redundant soldiers and redundant generals has completely changed, have you ever thought about it, if you sign an agreement, these sixteen states will always be your Great Song Dynasty, what you lose is that you can't send troops to attack other countries casually, and strictly abide by the commercial and monetary decisions of various countries, in addition to these, you are earning."
"But you're going too far." Although Zhao Ji understood the benefits, he still felt very aggrieved.
"Yes, too much, or you kill me, you can't be angry." The king simply looked like a scoundrel.
How could Zhao Ji kill him.
"If you don't kill, you don't kill."
"Then you sign the agreement."
"Brother Wang, if you don't kill me, I don't deserve this emperor, let it be done to you."
"No, you have done such a good job in reform, how can you let it be given to me, besides, the federal political axe is just to coordinate countries, so that countries can develop more and be better and stronger, the emperor should know that there are Goryeo outside the federation, there are also Japanese slaves, and there are many countries overseas, those foreign envoys, they will never dare to bully the federation in the future, can't our Song Dynasty also develop with the trend." Although Wang Bian felt that it was not as difficult as he imagined, he still tried his best to be bitter.
"This also makes sense, but my Great Song Dynasty was originally the master, and those are all vassal states, and now I am suddenly on an equal footing with them, and I feel uncomfortable."
"What's uncomfortable about this, originally Dali Tubo Xixia didn't want to be a minister, besides, the Liao Dynasty is a minister, we still have their annual coins, so we don't have to give it."
"That's right, you said you should take this matter to the parliament and let the courtiers discuss it."
"Whatever."
Wang said casually, but he was sure in his heart, Zhao Ji also thought about the word Wang next to the casual, he suddenly felt that Wang Bian should still have hole cards in his hand, he approached Wang Bian and said with a hippie smile: "Brother Wang, I can consider this matter, after all, it is not bad for the Great Song Dynasty, but you have to tell me, whether you are a traverser or not, and what secrets I don't know." ”
"Well, have you heard of Renzong's edict, the one who gets Yanyun sits in the world,."
"I've heard of it, isn't that a legend?"
"It's not a legend, if you don't agree, I'll go back and get the edict, and then come back to meet Tong Guan, what do you think of this method."
"My lord, you might as well kill me."
Of course, Wang Pan was reluctant to kill Zhao Ji, and he still expected Zhao Ji to attend the gathering of the head of state.
Half a year later, in the territory of Liangshan in Yuncheng, an office of the federal political axe was formally established, the heads of state of Song, Jin, Western Xia, Tubo and Dali gathered here, a column of troops along the federal horse road, this from the back village of the northern foot of Liangshan, the road that winds to the south, crosses the Qinglong Mountain, the dog head mountain, rides the three mountains, twists and turns, crosses the black wind outlet, and reaches the federal political axe on the Hutou Peak, everyone gathers together, the emperor of the five dynasties and the king sit around a chapter round table, sign the federal political axe agreement.
The top of the peak in front of the hall is open and flat, the east, west and south sides of the dangerous rock wall stand, there are two high walls inside and outside all around, there are two twisted head doors on the north side, there are political axe halls in the federal political axe, state offices, etc., on the wall of the political axe hall, there are six big characters written impressively, small dynasty, big world.
"The End"
