Shi Liai conferred the head, the earthquake in Nanjing was no less than the earthquake in the northwest, the 'Bodhisattva Prince' was furious and opened a killing ring, the captured mountain tigers and a gang of bandits were all slaughtered, their heads were on the city wall, and the city of Pingzhou was searched, and all those who had anything to do with the recent assassination were arrested, whether they were relatives, neighbors, or even people who had said a few strange words, the fate of most of these people was death.

Nothing could be obtained under the punishment, and more and more people were implicated, spreading to nearby states and counties, and most of the people who were arrested were those former ministers of the Liao State or Han people who had surrendered, and the indiscriminate killing shrouded Pingzhou in terror, making the people uneasy and vigilant, and a large number of people began to flee. The Great Song side didn't dare to accept it, and they had to be sent back if they ran over, so there was only one way out for them, turning to Xijing Road, which was still waving the banner of the Liao State.

The flight of a large number of officials and ordinary people caused Wan Yanhan to reflect on it, and after he calmed down, he began to ponder the whole story. The group of Shanhu people were all caught in the crazy pursuit of the Jurchens, and they did all the tricks under the punishment, but he only knew that some of the people who cooperated with him spoke with accents from the Liangzhou area, like the Tangut people, and the others knew nothing.

Among the assassins were Dang Xiang people, and the weapons used by the assassins included porcelain thistles equipped by the Xia army, which indicates that the assassins may have been related to the Western Xia, or even instructed by them, and that he had an intersection with the Western Xia people when he was from Hanlu to Liao a few years ago, warning them not to interfere in the affairs of the Liao State, and there has been no contact since then. Then again, Western Xia has nothing to do with the Yanjing region, let alone meddling in the affairs of its own defense area.

When things got here, it seemed to have become a mystery and couldn't be explained, but Wan Yanhan couldn't help but think of another person. That is Zong Han, who is adjacent to him. Although Zong Han is of the same clan as himself, he is higher than him in terms of bloodline. He was the second son of the first emperor, but after Ah Gu was killed. Wu Qimai, who ascended the throne, promoted him to the highest decision-making body, commanding a party of soldiers and horses, and his status was already above him.

So although these two have established their own teams, the two of them are constantly fighting. Wanyan Hanli did not participate in the battle to recover Yanjing, and later destroyed the rebel generals in Pingzhou, and his subordinates also gathered a group of former ministers of the Liao State headed by Shi Liai, who gave him advice and were extremely effective.

Zonghan's power is also expanding dramatically, and of course it also needs talents. He put his hand into Han's territory, poached Liu Yanzong, took away a group of people, and let him single-handedly form the Dongfu, and then the differences between the two in the distribution of resources and troops became increasingly serious, and the contradictions gradually became public, and the filth continued to tear each other down, and it was Shi Liai who gave him advice in this battle, so he was used as a scapegoat.

The 'reason' was found. That process is easy to say, Zong Wang is now using the opportunity of negotiating with the Western Xia to lure him into making trouble, so that the Western Xia can send killers to cause trouble in his own place, creating terror to weaken his own strength. You can avoid suspicion and make yourself unable to catch him.

The mud bodhisattva is still a little angry, not to mention that Han can't leave this fake bodhisattva. 'Figured out' the cause and effect was simply angry, and Zong Han actually disregarded the interests of the 'party-state'. Tear down your own platform and kill your own people. I was still polite to him, and immediately asked the emperor to call the shots for himself. Zong Han, who was just watching the excitement on the side, didn't expect that he was actually 'shot', and was impeached by Han for no reason, so of course he wouldn't admit it, so the two quarreled again, and they were on the verge of cutting off their robes and breaking their righteousness...

………

Zhao Ta has not been idle these days, re-walking the road of the west journey a few years ago, visiting the tuntian in Lingzhou and the pastures in Youzhou, inspecting the salt fields in Yanzhou, condolences to the displaced people who have taken refuge in the river due to the 'southeast civil unrest' and resettled in Weizhou, Longzhou, Hongzhou and Shizhou, and allocating some grain to be sent to the severely affected Lanzhou area for disaster relief.

After returning to Pingzhou in September of that year, Zhao Ta did not enter Yeli's territory, but led the Guards Brigade into the desert and went dozens of miles away to hunt in Jinze. It was once the place where the Western Xia rose, located in the depths of the desert surrounded by sand, but with the scenery of a water town, to be precise, an oasis in the desert, where several rivers converged to form a vast wetland.

The Pingzhou area used to be the residence of many tribes, Zhao Ta launched a westward expedition, many tribes were scattered, Yeli gradually became dominant, and his general Qu Ru volunteered to be the house slave of the prince after the failure of the competition, and at the same time announced that he broke away from the Yeli tribe and established himself as the king. Yeli pushed the boat down the river and sold the prince's personal favor and assigned the land Jinze area to Qu Rubu as his pasture, so Zhao Ta came here to go home, and Qu Ru, the young patriarch of Qu Ru's department, was a guard beside the prince.

The land is fertile, the pasture is abundant, the water source is sufficient, and it can be cultivated and pastured, Qu Rubu took root here, and grew rapidly under the intentional support of Zhao Ta, and already had ten thousand people, becoming a force that cannot be underestimated here. Of course, his arrival was warmly welcomed by Qu Rubu, and he took care of the prince, but he didn't care at all whether he was still a proclamation envoy, in their eyes, the prince was the master, even if they wanted them to rebel, they would leave without saying a word.

This place is indeed a good place for Zhao Ta at this time, even if he is far away from the protection of the loyal soldiers, the safety is completely guaranteed, and the location in the desert also allows him to temporarily avoid the ubiquitous eyes in the dark, so that he can feel at ease to do some things.

After Zhao Ta's relocation order was issued, the loyal warriors withdrew to the Hezhong area according to the arrangement, and the land they had already bought there provided them with a ready-made resettlement site. The five generals did not disrupt the establishment but formed a separate station, each of which was stationed at a distance of 50 miles in the valley of the Quye River, the Xunlun River, and the Tumao River, close to the traffic arteries, and faintly controlled the main roads of the Chuankou.

And Zhao Ren's arrival also allowed Zhao Ta to leave with peace of mind, and under his arrangement, the officers and soldiers of the various armies took the opportunity to visit their homes and pick up their relatives from all over the country, which could not only increase cohesion, but also make them have no worries, and at the same time avoid falling into the enemy and becoming hostages who disintegrate the morale of the army.

Zhao Ta went around in various places, the wind and rain in the Hezhong area this year were smooth, there was no catastrophe and there was basically no problem, and there was basically no problem, which was enough to solve the food problem that plagued them, and Sheng Hetang also took the surplus grain purchase in his own hands in the form of loans issued by the cabinets, plus the income from the tuntian fields in various places, which could ensure the needs of the loyal and brave army for a year. However, Zhao Ta did not give up the plan of buying grain from the Central Plains and the southeast, and still implemented the policy of exchanging grain for salt, hoarding grain and grass, but reducing grain exports to Western Xia...

Zhao Ta seems to be living a quiet and happy life of hunting and fishing every day, but the tightly knit brows show that he is still worried in his heart. He stirred up a stir in Pingzhou, although he gained something, but he could not change the determination of the Jurchens to join the court, and the Song court still failed to perceive the true intentions of the Jurchens to come frequently, and the whole country was still immersed in the sea of happiness of singing and dancing.

Wang Hao has retired with honor, and Wang Anzhong, who has just been in office for a year, lost his backer and left in disgrace, who asked him to worship the wrong dock. And before Tong Guan re-emerged from the mountain and left Bian, there was a replacement there, Cai You recommended Cai Jing to know the Yanzhou Mansion and take over the vacated position vacated by Wang Anzhong, after all, he couldn't write two Cai characters in one stroke.

Before Tong Guan returned to Yanjing, he had received a secret report from Zhongshan Mansion, and said that Guo Yaoshi "relied on his favor and merit, reversed his temperament and cuteness, and became more and more fierce, and he was married to Jin, carrying the imperial court, and I am afraid that the disaster will not be far away." "Remind the imperial court to take precautions as soon as possible. Guo Yaoshi knew that Cai Jing was Tong Guan and Cai You's person, of course, he couldn't do too much, and he still had to be a group of people on the surface, but after Tong Guan came, he was first flattered by Guo Yaoshi a few times, a few words of shameless flattery, and then reviewed his Chang Shengjun and thought that he was extremely loyal.

These face-saving kung fu and unspoken rules deceived Tong Guan's poisonous eyes, and then went to the official family to think that Guo Yaoshi had no different ambitions and could be used boldly with confidence, and then went to the imperial court to set up four chief managers on Hebei Road and arranged for his henchmen to take up this important position. At the same time, the above table thought that Yanjing had been recovered, and there was no need for the former garrisons in Hebei to be stationed again, and the former frontier towns had now become the interior, and the Ansu, Yongning, and Baoding armies should be abolished.

No matter what measures Tong Guan has here, Cai You in the court will definitely give his full support, and the two of them sing and harmonize, and they are so good that they wear a pair of pants together, sharing honor and disgrace. And the reason why Cai You strongly agrees is that this move is intended to show leisure, the country has no trace of chicken and dog police, and the people only have the enthusiasm to praise the peace. Zhao Ji didn't know the mystery of the way, and pondered that in the end, Tong Guan was an old man seeking the country, and the country had been peaceful for a long time, so he could save some of it, so he allowed it to play. Originally, the fence was tightly entrenched, and wild dogs couldn't break in, but now they have destroyed the Great Wall and covered the gate!

The Jurchens were in full swing on the border to dispatch troops to prepare for the southern invasion, and the corresponding Song court was not idle, and the Song officials from Heshuo to Bianjing were busy ushering in the send-off, and everyone's faces were full of smiles, for these barbarians to serve respectfully. Until this time, the Great Song Dynasty did not pay enough attention to it, and wishful thinking that the frequent exchanges of Jurchen envoys was the best explanation for the warming of friendship between the two countries, and the friendly exchanges between the two sides shared peace.

These performances of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty made these Jurchens who originated in the white mountains and black waters of the northeast burst with self-confidence, and from top to bottom, they all had an unspeakable arrogance and arrogance, and on the one hand, they envied the wealth and luxury of the Song people while strengthening their thoughts of encroachment.

Zhao Ta couldn't stand it anymore, although he didn't have much hope, but he still cried blood to play his father for the most powerful opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty, he told everything he knew, and suggested that he should quickly strengthen the border guards, be vigilant against the invasion of the Jurchens, and at the same time prevent the villain from making trouble and blinding the eyes and ears...
