At the end of October of the fifth year of Song Xuanhe, Yanjing City collapsed under the rapid offensive of the Jin army, Yelu Dashi led the army to fight, and made the last fight, but the whole army was annihilated, and he was also captured, Yelu Dashi's capture represents the destruction of the Yanyun Corps of Liao, and also represents the destruction of the last strategic group army of Liao, taking this as the demarcation point, Liao completely lost the ability to fight with Jin in this area.

Liao will never come back.

The Great Song Dynasty also reacted at this time, and the failure of the two Northern Expeditions made Emperor Huizong extremely annoyed at the same time, but also felt empty, and he began to worry about whether the maritime alliance he had signed with Wanyan Aguda could still be recognized by him, and whether the Jin soldiers could return the sixteen states of Yanyun to the Song in accordance with the covenant, in this case, he was not sure, he once again sent an envoy to Zhao Lianghe, who had been in contact with the Jin people for more than ten years.

At the same time as Zhao Liangsi set off, it was also the beginning of the Western Army's departure home with full of pain, Tong Guan did not plan to return to Shaanxi with the Western Army, Tong Guan did not return to the Western Army's queue after the defeat of the Western Army, at this time he rushed to Tokyo, and the remnants of the Western Army returned to Shaanxi with a lonely soul and a wild ghost, they came with hesitation, and went away with pain, without any slightest comfort.

It is not that there are no people who have taken over the Western Army, but the army and people who have taken over the Western Army are very depressing, such as Cai Jing's eldest son Cai You, the eldest young master, who knows nothing, actually wants to lead the troops, and the prime minister Wang Huang, who lives in the rear, coordinates the overall situation, and brings a group of "famous generals of the forbidden army" as generals, bringing together 300,000 forbidden troops for the Northern Expedition, which is the third Xuanhe Northern Expedition.

The intention is to give Zhao Lianghe, who is negotiating on the front line, a little bit of confidence, Jin Bing has 300,000, we also have 300,000, don't be afraid, there are 700,000 people behind you to support you! Don't be afraid! Fight with them!

This is easy to say, but Zhao Liangsi has followed Emperor Huizong for so many years, and is actually the foreign minister of the Great Song Dynasty, so he knows very little about the Song army? The combat effectiveness of the Song Army, especially the combat effectiveness of the Forbidden Army, he has personally experienced it, if you want to make money and do business, the Great Song Forbidden Army is definitely the first in the world, if you want to say that you go to the battlefield to kill the enemy and defend the country, the current Great Song Forbidden Army can probably fight with a group of pigs.

You have my back for such 300,000 waste? They definitely ran faster than me!

Zhao Liangsi set off to the base camp of the Yanjing Jin soldiers with a sad feeling, along the way, he recalled that he first came into contact with the Song Dynasty, and then helped the Song and the Jurchens to contact, and the two sides jointly dealt with the Liao, helped the Jurchens establish a system, understand the skills, establish the national foundation, create writing, etc., he handled them one by one, did it himself, and got the friendship and attention of Wanyan Aguta.

Every time he met before, he went with full confidence, but this time, he was scared.

Fortunately, Wanyan Aguta's friendly attitude towards Song did not change because he got Yanjing, but the moment he entered Yanjing City, Zhao Liangsi felt an inexplicable atmosphere of despair, where is Yanjing? What is Yanjing? The Jurchens saw unprecedented prosperity, even if they had occupied four of the five capitals of the Liao State before, they had never seen such a world.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are special, it has the characteristics of the Liao people, more is the color of the Song Dynasty, it is the southernmost point of the Liao State at that time, it is the area closest to the civilization of the Song Dynasty, whether it is material or style, it is almost synchronized with the Song Dynasty, the Song Dynasty is the representative of the highest level of civilization in the world at that time, the Jurchens from Ru Mao drinking blood to contact the world's top civilization, it only took one day, because Yanjing collapsed in only one day.

This was a shocking effect on the Jurchens, who finally knew what heaven was and what prosperity was, and the huge psychological gap made them involuntarily look to the south - the Liao people told them that it was more prosperous than here.

The Song Dynasty is the most civilized and wealthy country in the world, and there are hundreds of cities like Yanjing in the Great Song Dynasty! And there is only one in Liao!

Shouldn't we go a little further south?

This was the common thought of all the Jurchens at that time, including Aguta, but after that, polarization appeared, and the moderate faction represented by Wanyan Aguta quickly calmed down after the initial surprise, and they thought of Song's unparalleled strong financial resources from such prosperity, and with financial resources, there would be military strength, and Song had such strong financial resources, there was no reason not to have more powerful military strength, and the previous defeat may have been a non-human use, or maybe Song did not encounter a real crisis, if the Jurchens treated Song with the battle of destroying the country, forced Song out with all his might, how many soldiers and horses will Song bring?

Almost at the same moment, he arrived with the news, his old friend Zhao Liangsi for more than ten years came, and behind him was the Northern Expeditionary Army organized by the third Song Dynasty, with a strength of 300,000!

Two hundred thousand plus two hundred thousand plus three hundred thousand, how much? Ah Guda used the arithmetic knowledge taught him by Zhao Lianghe, and after doing the math, he came up with an answer that made Ah Guda tremble a little - 700,000.

In just one year, Song mobilized 700,000 soldiers and horses to organize three super battles, how strong are their financial resources? Other Jurchens coveted the prosperity of the Song Dynasty, but they didn't consider the powerful military power that played the main supporting role under the prosperity of the Song Dynasty! This is the reason why Song is prosperous!

Before meeting with Zhao Liangsi, Aguta decided on a policy toward the Song Dynasty - abide by the covenant, unite with the Song, return the sixteen states of Yanyun, establish good bilateral relations with the Song, and not easily fight against the Song.

Zhao Liangsi didn't know that Ah Guta's caution had already decided that he would not declare war on Song, but because the number of the main and moderate factions was too small, and the number of radical main battle factions was too large, all he saw were radical main battle factions, and he felt shuddered for the prosperity and wealth of Song Dynasty full of beast soldiers who were robbing **, and when the Jurchen soldiers who wantonly ravaged Yanjing City set their eyes on him, he only felt that the hairs on his body stood up.

Myself, it seems that I have done something wrong......

More than ten years ago, Wanyan Aguta was still a hearty man, and the Jurchens were still a group of weak poor insects praying for survival, and now, the poor insects have transformed into fierce tigers, choosing people and loving people, terrifying to the extreme, Zhao Liangsi felt for the first time that the development of things exceeded his expectations, he did not trust the forbidden army, but he trusted the Western army very much, and as a result, the Western army was also defeated, and there was no longer the strength to fight.

How did it all come to be the way it is? He didn't know, he really didn't know when he had lost control of the matter, so he was sweating profusely, and when he saw Akuda with a warm smile, he was even more uneasy.

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, can you get it?

In the hall that once belonged to Yelu Yanxi and Yelu Chun, Wanyan Aguda sat on the main seat, and there were Jin Jun generals standing on both sides, each murderous, glaring at Zhao Liangsi angrily, Zhao Liangsi felt that he was walking on the steel knife every step he took, which was extremely uncomfortable, and the eyes of the Jin Bing generals were burning and burning on him, making him miserable, but fortunately, Wanyan Aguta's voice sounded in time.

"Ryoji, we haven't seen each other for a long time." Ah Guta still spoke to him so gently, which made Zhao Liangsi a little more relaxed, looking at Ah Guta, who was high up, remembering that when they first met more than ten years ago, he also felt a little sad in his heart.

There's no going back.

"Zhao Liangsi, the envoy of the Great Song Dynasty, pay a visit to His Majesty the Emperor of the Dajin Kingdom." Zhao Liangsi used the most standard official etiquette, which was previously carried out on the emperor of Liao, but now, the Jin State has obtained the dominance of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the Jin State has replaced the Liao State as the Northern Dynasty, so this etiquette has also been transferred to Wanyan Aguta.

Ah Guda was in a trance, remembering the first meeting more than ten years ago, he was full of emotion in his heart, and said to Zhao Liangsi: "Lianghei, sit down, sit down, don't be so restrained, just like you did more than ten years ago." After a pause, Ah Guda spoke again: "More than ten years ago, you were also young, and I was also young, and now, I see that you also have gray hair, and I am also old." ”

Agutara's homely words moved Zhao Liangsi a little, and he couldn't help but speak: "For more than ten years, time is like an arrow, the sun and the moon are like a shuttle, does Your Majesty still remember the events of that year?" ”

Ah Gu smiled: "I'm a rough person, I haven't read your Han books, my sons have read it, but I also know the truth of being a man, being a man, you can't forget your roots, forget your roots, you will die, no matter how strong you are, how many troops you have, it's the same, Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Deguang were so powerful back then, and now they are also dust, I now have 300,000 male soldiers, but after I die, I am also dust." ”

The generals of the golden soldiers knelt down one after another: "Long live Your Majesty!" ”

Ah Gu smiled and waved his hand: "What a thousand years old, I never believe in these, people live is alive, dead is dead, there is nothing to say, I started as a slave, and now I am the emperor, I am already content, I hate the Liao people deeply, they ruined my home, ruined my people and life, when Yelu Yanxi wantonly abused my people in front of me, I swore that I would destroy the Liao country, and now I have done it, although it took more than 20 years, but I have done it, this is enough, good heir, what do you say?" ”
