In fact, the capture of Liaoyang Mansion was not one of the goals of this aid to Goryeo at the earliest, but Zhao Yong's temporary intention. After the defeat of the Jin army and the capture of Haoladian, he thought that now most of the main force of the Jin army was annihilated, the garrison of western Liaoning was weak, and the Song army suffered little losses, and the soldiers were in full swing, and the terrain in this area was flat, which was convenient for cavalry to fight, and was rich in products and densely populated, so he could take the opportunity to get a vote.

After Zhao Yong reported a new combat plan, he quickly got a reply. The emperor considered that Liaoxi was the hinterland of the Jin State and had always been one of the important settlements of the Jurchen tribes, and was cited by the Jin State as his own backyard, if it was stabbed once, it would not only have a deterrent effect, but also let the Jin State know that even their backyard was no longer safe, and it was an important place of wealth for the Jin State, and a destruction could further hit the economy of the Jin State, so he agreed to Zhao Yong's battle plan.

However, the emperor also set the principle for Zhao Yong, and the war was mainly aimed at deterrence and harassment, destroying the economy of the Jin state, and seizing land for the purpose. Liaoyang Mansion is 700 miles away from Baozhou, and it has already penetrated deep into the hinterland of Jinguo, and it is easy for the lone army to be cut off by the enemy and fall into a heavy siege. Therefore, the whole campaign should be quickly decided for a month, and the purpose of the campaign should be completed before the weather warms up and the snow melts and the ice opens, and the Jin army retreats to the south bank of the Yalu River before the men and horses arrive, so as not to cause heavy losses.

After receiving approval, Zhao Yong launched the second phase of the operation, dispatched the forbidden army of three generals, and attacked north along the main road with 5,000 troops of the five countries as the lead, and successfully fought all the way to Liaoyang Mansion. Along the way, they sabotaged the local political power of the Jin State, plundered the treasury, and dealt a devastating blow to the local tyrants and the power of the Jurchen aristocracy. Confiscate their property and liberate the captive Han slaves. There was enough momentum, but on the whole there was some restraint.

However, the Five Kingdoms Department, which is also a Jurchen tribe, does not have so many scruples. They are familiar with geography and people's feelings, and they played a significant role in the battle, and more importantly, they have black hands. All the tribes that refused to surrender, especially those who were close to the Wanyan tribe, were purged by them, and all the tribes, young and old, were slaughtered, and all their property was taken, and the places where they passed were often littered with corpses. Rivers of blood flowed and fire raged, and each man's horse was laden with goods, and strings of captives were tied to the horse, all of which were their booty.

Although Zhao Yong knew that the wanton burning, killing and looting of the Five Kingdoms Department would have a negative impact on the Song Army, he also had to understand that the Wanyan Department treated other tribes like this back then, and the Five Kingdoms Department did this to return a tooth for a tooth and blood for blood. At that time, the emperor also issued a 'kill order', killing all the Jin troops who participated in the attack on Bianjing, and did not accept surrender. Another good thing is that the bloody massacre of the Five Nations Department still has some deterrent effect, and the prefectures and counties along the way heard that they had arrived. Either abandon the city and flee, or open the city and surrender.

When the Song army captured Liaoyang City, they were presented with a treasure trove, which was originally one of the five capitals of the Liao State. Close to the Liao River, the water and land transportation is convenient. Business is prosperous, not to mention wealthy. After the occupation of the Jin Kingdom, a large number of weapons were needed for the wars everywhere. Thus, the mining and smelting industry allowed Liaoyang to maintain its prosperity. At the same time, a large number of captive people from the Central Plains were placed around the city, and a large area of wasteland was reclaimed, and after nearly 20 years of operation, it has become the main grain producing area of Jinguo.

The development of land, the development of handicrafts and agriculture and the increase in population made Liaoyang prosperous, and at the same time, as a transit place for the conquest of Goryeo and the Southern Dynasties, a large number of military supplies and food were hoarded in the city.

Capture Liaoyang City, the purpose of the battle has been achieved, and the weather is getting warmer, it is time to get a handful of left, Zhao Yong ordered people to send the captured property and captured craftsmen back to Baozhou in batches, and at this time, those people of the Great Song Dynasty who were captured here saw that they were leaving, and they also asked to return to the country. But Zhao Yong knew that he was alone in the depths, and it was only because he was caught off guard by the Jin army that the battle could be so smooth, and at this time, the scout cavalry came to report that the Jin army had been killed from Jinzhou and Shangjing to Liaoyang, if he brought so many people to march slowly, if he was cut off by the Jin army, the consequences would be unimaginable, but these people were abandoned by the people of the Great Song Dynasty and had a bad conscience.

Just when Zhao Yong was in a dilemma, the emperor's holy decree arrived, and the situation has changed now, ordering him to divide his troops to defend Liaoyang, and the naval reinforcements will arrive immediately after the ice is gone. Zhao Yong immediately convened the generals to discuss, and finally decided that Zhao Yong would lead the lion generals, leopard generals and the rest of the army of the Five Kingdoms to escort the supplies and population back to Baozhou; With the tiger general, the first artillery brigade and the first part of the army of the five countries stayed in Liaoyang City, commanded by the supervising army Zhuge Hong, and drove a nail in the stomach of the Jin country!

…………

Zhao Ta suddenly changed his battle plan and ordered Zhao Yong to defend Liaoyang City, in fact, the reason is very simple, it was because of the peace agreement between the two countries. He saw that Jin Guo's proposal for peace and Zhao Hui's 'forcing the palace' were obviously tricks, and they 'joined forces' to push the Great Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers to the moral judgment seat, so that they had to accept the peace negotiation, and Zhao Ta's psychology was of course very uncomfortable.

Now the Great Song Dynasty soldiers are on the offensive, and it is only a matter of time before they destroy the Jin State, and it is simply a joke to negotiate peace with the Jin State, but an impossible thing actually allowed the Wushu to succeed with a little trick, so that the negotiations in the Great Song Dynasty fell into passivity before they began. But Zhao Ta is the one who is willing to suffer, since you gave me a punch, of course, don't blame me for kicking back, he wants to pull back a game and make Da Song regain the initiative.

The negotiations between the two countries are nothing more than three aspects, the first is money, the second is land, and the third is fame. Everyone is talking about these bargains, the process is no different from doing business, but if you want to talk, you have to look at your own capital, your pockets are empty, and now the Great Song Dynasty is crushed to death by the Jin Kingdom in all aspects, and there are not a few cards that can restrain the Great Song Dynasty, but Zhao Ta has enough trump cards in his hand, and it is not so easy to bargain.

Now that the vultures have made a move, then Zhao Ta can't help but accept it! He played his first card first, he ordered the Dengzhou Sailor to go to sea again, but this time the target was no longer Goryeo, but Liaoyang Mansion, which was fiercely contested between the two countries......

The envoys of the Jin State, who had been in Pingzhou for many days, reported back to China immediately after learning that the emperor of the Southern Dynasty had approved the peace and asked him to send envoys to Kaifeng to discuss. Wushu immediately sent Xiao Yi, the servant of the household department, and Xing Guzhan, the waiter of Hanlin, to come to the Song Dynasty to negotiate. For this peace talks, Wushu had already prepared a draft of the peace talks, as Zhao had expected, and it was about money, land, and fame.

On the issue of title, Wushu did not dare to hope that Emperor Yi'er of the Great Song Dynasty would be a vassal as before, and only hoped that the Southern Dynasty would agree to refer to the example of the alliance with the Khitan, and that the brothers would be commensurate, and those who sent people to the Jin Kingdom to see and give some gifts would be content during the New Year's holidays. In terms of money, the price of Wushu is the Song Dynasty, and the annual payment of 100,000 taels of silver to the Jin State and 100,000 horses is more than doubled, he thinks that the Great Song Dynasty is now rich and oily, and this little money will definitely not be taken to heart, but for the financially tight Jin State can solve the big problem, of course, since it is a brother, it can no longer be called 'Sui Gong', as for what name can be discussed.

The key issue is still land, but Wushu has used his brains, and he understands that the current military situation is very unfavorable for the Jin State. The Southern Dynasty not only recovered the pre-war territory of the two countries, but also pocketed all the old land in the Central Plains south of the Great Wall, and even 'occupied' a large area of the Jin State, and now even Liaoyang, the first major city liberated by the Jurchens, has been robbed, and then went further into the house as a guest.

Wushu also thought that it would be impossible for the Southern Dynasty to spit out everything that was eaten in the stomach, and it was even more unrealistic to use the Yellow River in the Old Testament as the boundary. So he thought of the 'maritime alliance' that the two countries first signed, dividing the Central Plains with Yanjing. If you suffer a little bit of loss, Yunzhou will give them Datong Mansion with the Great Wall as the boundary, then your Southern Dynasty will return Dading Mansion and Linhuang Mansion to Jin State. Wushu pondered for a long time, and felt that his conditions were not too much, and he had made great concessions compared to the old covenant he had made with the Great Song Dynasty before, and it would be useless for Zhao Er to accept it again.

Later, Wushu summoned Xiao Yi and Xing Guzhan to give a face-to-face lecture and explained to them, so that they understood that this envoy must not be disgraceful to the mission, and they must try to reach a peace agreement. After listening to the lesson, the two quickly whipped up, and arrived in Kaifeng in mid-March, day and night, but this time it was different from before, in the past, the Jin country came to a petty official who was not in the stream, and the Great Song Dynasty would send the prime minister to greet each other and treat each other with national courtesy, and only sent a person from the Ministry of Rites to take them to the Duting Station.

And the embassy envoy was also a 'snob', so he arranged a small courtyard for them to live in, and looked at the neighbors on the left and right, all of whom were envoys of the vassal states of the Song Dynasty. The envoy represents a country, and now the Song Dynasty has arranged to live with the envoys of the vassal state, which can no longer be explained by coldness, obviously embarrassing the Jin country, and treating the Jin country it represents as a subject country, the two of them can only smile awkwardly, and they both have a premonition that this trip is not good.

The next day, the Song Dynasty and the deputy envoy Zhang Suo met with the two Jin envoys, and although they knew that what they had said was in vain, they still protested to the Song envoys about the accommodation, and then handed over their credentials. The two never expected that the deputy envoy Zhang of the Great Song Dynasty actually refused to accept it, and only told the two that in view of the fact that the Jin State had not fulfilled the agreement in the previous two negotiations to release the King of Liao, the King of Liao must be sent back in this negotiation, otherwise the negotiations would not be ......
