Chapter 366: It's done
The effect of the wolf jade was quickly revealed, although it was only a small piece of jade, but behind it was a hidden problem that the Khitans had to face.
At the same time, there is a lot of mourning in the city of Nanjing, and even the temples have been dug up, and how many of the ancestral cemeteries of those nobles can be preserved?
The ancestral grave was dug up, so there was only revenge, so when Yelu Dashi entered the palace to see Emperor Liao, they quickly realized that a way to boost morale and share the same hatred can be quickly released.
Three days later, the news had spread all over the streets, and the Khitans were filled with righteous indignation, courage had overcome cowardice, and they were eager to immediately go to the gold seeker to fight to the death.
In the early morning of the fourth day, Yelu Dashi, who was full of fatigue, came to the Wanguo Pavilion, looking at this proud Song envoy, he sighed and said weakly: "Master Shen, Your Majesty has agreed to the request of our country, and is willing to cede Luanzhou, Yingzhou, Jizhou, and Pingzhou, and the two countries will attack and defend the alliance and be together forever." ”
Shen Ao nodded: "In this way, Song Liao's peace has finally settled, congratulations to General Yelu." He smiled and congratulated, as if the Khitans had taken advantage of it, causing the muscles on Yelu Dashi's face to twitch again and again.
Wu Wencai stroked his beard happily on the side, thinking to himself: After negotiating this article, it will be a great achievement, and Your Majesty will definitely be happy.
The significance of recovering the four states is indeed not to be underestimated for the Great Song Dynasty, and for Zhao Ji, it is a great joy.
Such an emperor who was so happy with great achievements, without much effort, won the four states of Yanyun, which is equivalent to a part of the land of Hebei and Tianjin in later generations, and a quarter of the sixteen states of Yanyun, and his joy can be imagined.
In fact, the four states are not much, but when it comes to the allusions to the founding of the Great Song Dynasty, the political significance of the four states is different.
When Emperor Taizu of the Song Dynasty was there, he had to plant trees near Bianjing in the face of the threat of the Khitan iron cavalry galloping from the sixteen states of Yanyun. In order to recover Yanyun, he once set up a "sealed pile warehouse" in the inner treasury, intending to redeem the lost land with money. After that, Emperor Taizong ascended the throne, personally moved to Youzhou, tried to recover the Yanyun region in one fell swoop, and fought a fierce battle with the Khitan in the Gaoliang River, the Song army was defeated, Song Taizong was hit by an arrow, fled in a donkey cart, and died two years later. After that, the Northern Song Dynasty fought a long war with the Liao, and it was never possible to occupy this place.
That is to say, even a cattle man like Taizu Taizong has not taken advantage of the Khitans, and Zhao Ji has not used swords and soldiers, and he has not bribed them with money, so he easily put them into the bag.
Wu Wencai sighed in his heart, and he already understood in his heart that when he returned to Bianjing, when Shen Ao was promoted, as a deputy envoy, he was afraid that he would be able to get some light, and he had been thinking about the vacancy of the waiter in the Ministry of Rites.
Yelu Dashi left, Shen Ao Huoran got up, and said excitedly: "It's done, Lord Wu, you immediately prepare to return to Bianjing, notify the border guards, and change guards with the Khitans." ”
Wu Wencai hurriedly said: "Yes, my lord!" But do you plan to stay here? ”
Shen Ao smiled and said, "When Yelu Dashi left, he said that the Emperor of Liao would hold a banquet in the palace after the third day and invited me to participate, so I can't go back for the time being." Besides, the matter of peace negotiation has not yet been decided, and it is difficult to guarantee that the Liao people will not make any small moves, so I will watch here so that they will not play tricks. Lord Wu, I'm sorry for everything. ”
Wu Wencai hurriedly responded.
When the news came out, Nanjing suddenly became a sensation, the Khitans were frustrated, and the Han people rejoiced. Since then, the entire Yanyun undercurrent has surged, and an unbelievable thing has appeared.
In fact, this incident was indeed unexpected by everyone, but it was reasonable, a large number of displaced people began to appear in the entire Yanyun, many abandoned their land, and with the only remaining family assets, they actually rushed to Luanzhou, Yingzhou, Jizhou, and Pingzhou.
These displaced people, originally Han people, now the Jinliao war broke out at any time, and the oppression of the Khitans, so that they have long been overwhelmed, and now they know that the four states will return to the Song, they see hope one by one, and have gone to the four states, waiting for the Song army to recover the defense, so that as long as they arrive in the four states, wait slowly for a few days, they can change from the Liao people to the Song people, this deal...... Value!
The Khitan ministries received the report of the customs defense, and naturally became nervous, now it is an eventful time, without the Han people, who will collect the grain and grass? Where do we get our salaries? It's just to smoke Ding, and to whose house do you go to find it? If you sit idly by, where does Da Liao come from to recruit soldiers? Who will farm for them? Therefore, he immediately issued a document to all passes, encircled and intercepted, and began to obstruct it in the name of preventing the homeless people from causing trouble.
The funniest thing is that instead of blocking the people, even the army began to flee, not in the south, but in groups and in an organized manner.
The military system of the Liao State is relatively complex, and generally includes the palace tent army, the tribal army of the big chief, the tribal army, the Wujing Township Ding and the genus [***]. The palace tent army is the forbidden army of the Liao State. It is the cronies of the guards who defend Nanjing. In addition, the tribal army consisted mainly of the troops of some princes and ministers. Its strength is more than 1,000 people, and the few are hundreds, such as Yelu Dashi, which has a tribal army of 4,000, and can fight habitually, which is very brave.
Whether it is the palace tent army or the tribal army, most of these people are still composed of Khitans, with high combat effectiveness, and now the war is tight, except for a part of the garrison in Nanjing, most of them have been transferred to the Jinliao border, and the army in Yanyun is mostly composed of Wujing Township Ding and the Shanbei Eighth Army in the genus [***].
Wujing Xiangding is a local armed force with the surname of a township soldier, composed of people who are affiliated with Shangjing, Zhongjing, Tokyo, Xijing, and Nanjing. During the war, they were only engaged in auxiliary work, such as repairing roads and cutting down trees. With the passage of time, the proportion of Han Chinese in the composition of the Xiangding gradually increased, while the Fan people became less and less.
As for the Eighth Army of Shanbei in [***], it was almost the Han army of the Liao State, relying on these two Han armies to intercept the displaced people, and the result was that these Han troops did not say a word, and mixed into the ranks of the refugees. Whether it is the township or the Shanbei army, it has always been the lowest status troops, most of them are forcibly drawn men, and the Jinliao War will break out sooner or later, it is very likely that these people will also be transferred to the north to work for the Khitans, in this case, it is more cost-effective to do the Song people.
When it came to this, the Khitans were annoyed and immediately mobilized the palace tent army in Nanjing to attack everywhere, since the Han army could not believe it, they could only use the forbidden army.
It's just that at this time, Shen Ao stood up and repeatedly went to the Ministry of Rites, Honglu Temple, and the Privy Council to protest everywhere. As a result, the entire territory of the Liao State was actually ten rooms and nine empty, especially the place where the Han people lived outside the city, which was barren.
Just when Shen Ao was busy with his work, an invitation came, and the person who was invited was naturally Shen Ao, but the person who invited him was Xuan Er, in Shen Ao's eyes, this Xuan Er's whole body was full of mystery, he thought about it and decided to go to the appointment.
At noon on the second day, the snowflakes finally stopped, but the whirring cold was still whining, blowing so that people couldn't open their eyes, Shen Ao wore a thick fur coat and took a few forbidden soldiers to Qingle Fang.
After the report, a person came down, this is a dignified young man, the young man was born very burly, although it was this cold weather, he was still wearing a light long coat and breeches, looked Shen Ao up and down, and said, "Shen Qincha, we seem to have met somewhere." ”
Shen Ao smiled: "You are the assassin who was on the Huashi Boat that night?" ”
The young man snorted, obviously angry about Shen Ao playing with him, and said angrily: "Young Master Shen, please go upstairs, my master is waiting for you." ”
went up to the third floor and passed through a bead curtain barrier, Shen Ao thought that the beauties would meet, at least the two of them had the treatment of drinking wine on the case, but when the last bead curtain was lifted, he was stunned for a while.
In the small room, there are many people standing, some old and some young, the purple hairpin skirt is hugged in the middle, her figure is already tall and peachy, her body is light, like standing out from the crowd, looking at Shen Ao with dignified and elegant demeanor, beautiful eyes are looking forward to it, and there is an indescribable charm between a smile and a smile; Like a budding peony flower, beautiful but not demonic, glamorous but not vulgar, charming, incomparable.
Shen Ao was embarrassed, he thought there would be some kind of affair, but who knew that he came in in a hurry, but he was watched, he swept his eyes, and glanced at Xuan Yan'er, his eyes flashed with displeasure. Immediately her eyes fell on the body of Feng'er beside Xuan'er, who was still wearing tight breeches, highlighting the twin peaks with her chest raised high, and she saw herself, her expression was indifferent, and she looked like I am very familiar with you.
One, two, three...... Fifteen ...... Twenty-one...... Shen Ao counted silently in his heart, and couldn't help but scold in his heart: "I've been watched, do these guys treat me as a big horse monkey?" ”
After only being stunned for a moment, Xuan Er suddenly squatted down and blessed Shen Ao: "Yan Er has seen Shen Student, and the people of Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures have thanked Shen for his great kindness. ”
Xuan Er'er raised his head, and the people behind him saluted one after another, this one said: "Shen Bachelor's righteousness is thin and cloudy, and he is full of wisdom, and this trip has made a bad breath for the Han people of Yanyun." ”
That said: "What Master Shen has done, I am very respectful below, please accept the next bow." ”
The noisy scene made Shen Ao stunned, he immediately understood that he had entered the den of thieves this time, if there was no accident, these people should be the legendary heroes, seeing that they all saluted to themselves, Shen Ao knew very well that at this time, he must be reserved, and the outlaws could not be provoked, so he bowed back and said: "Everyone, politely, politely......"
