Chapter 206: Gan Song's Excuse Is Gone (Asking for a Monthly Pass!) )
…
The Jin army was stationed in Yundi for more than a year, consumed a lot of property, and plundered the gold, silver, money, and monasteries in Yundi before leaving.
Many wealthy people of the Liao Kingdom fled to the valley because they were afraid of the Jin people, leaving behind many empty houses like hanging chimes.
And the people who remained in the city were living in poverty and embarrassment.
The key is that this is not only the case in Xijing City, but also in Wu, Wei, Fengsheng, Naturalization, Confucianism, Concubine and other states.
What's even more odious is that before leaving, the Jin army also destroyed all the key points of the city walls, towers, and turrets, and even filled in trenches to dig the city, destroying the defense facilities of Yundi.
This is obviously a preparation for the fight back.
Therefore, many people in Yundi are spreading that the Jin people will definitely attack Yundi after Yan Agu is killed.
Even Zhao Liangsi once said to people in private: "This cloud land, I'm afraid that the Great Song Dynasty won't be able to occupy it for long."
Everyone knows about this, but they don't dare to say it.
Tan Zhi and others then sent a congratulatory watch to Zhao Ji:
Gong Wei His Majesty's divine machine is the first thing, and he knows the omen of the destruction of the Northern Captives. In the eighth year of self-government and the eighth year, the Jin State sent an envoy to pass the good, about the end of the attack, to the fourth year of Xuanhe, the captive anchor moved, Yeluchun usurped, the people in the clouds, long afraid of the charcoal, extended the neck of the pass, willing to return to China. His Majesty bowed to the hearts of the people, and the special edicts and ministers waited for the general army to appease them, so that the land was attached. The ministers bowed to lead the army, entered the Yunzhong Mansion to pacify the army and the people, and preached the saints. The whole division wins, and the heavenly voice of the Zhenshuo Department is vibrating; The whole country will come and get the capital in the clouds. There is no insult in all directions, and there is light for all eternity. The temples and societies are closed, and the subjects are celebrated. The ministers heard that Zhou Fa Yan was only in Taiyuan, and the Han attacked the Xiongnu but Wei Shang. Although it is solicited to be planted, or it is reprimanded in the seal. All of them only exist in the name of opening up the frontier, and they have not been mixed with the fierceness of the universe......
Just when the whole Zhao and Song dynasties were celebrating the historical feat of recovering Yundi, Li Cun ordered to go all out to spring planting.
Li Cun really saw that the war in the Yanyun area was now a grain war, and whoever had food could have the last laugh.
This is also the reason why Li Cun obviously could, after the Jin people withdrew from Yundi, immediately sent troops to attack Yundi, but he didn't do it for a long time.
- Yundi is easy to fight, but the burden of Yundi is not so easy to carry, especially after Li Cun has already carried the huge burden of Yandi.
Therefore, Li Cun has to solve the problem of self-sufficiency in Yandi first, and then he can recover Yundi, otherwise, even if he is as rich as Li Cun, he may be dragged down by the Yanyun region, just like the Zhao and Song dynasties in history.
You must know that the Zhao and Song dynasties in history also owned the Jiangnan region, and they were not still dragged down by the Yanyun region.
In the final analysis, the politics and economy of the Yanyun region have not been done well, and they have to be transfused by other regions.
In order not to make the stupid mistake that the Zhao and Song dynasties made in history, Li Cun would rather be slower, but also grasp steadily, first improve all the grain and economy of Yandi, and then recover Yundi.
Li Cun has this patience, but Yelu Yanxi does not have this patience.
When Yelu Yanxi learned that the Jin people he feared the most had withdrawn from Yundi, he quickly led 50,000 elite cavalry and 30,000 Western Xia troops to kill Yundi.
Western Xia was the first to act.
Under the leadership of Li Liangfu, the general of Western Xia, 30,000 elites of Western Xia crossed the Yellow River from Jinsu Prefecture and Heqing Army, captured Tiande Army and Yunnei Prefecture all the way, and then attacked Wu and Shuo Prefecture, which were already under the control of the Zhao Song Dynasty.
For the Yunzhong region, Western Xia has actually coveted it for a long time.
In the past, the Western Xia was afraid of the strength of the Liao State and the difficulty of the Jin State, so they suppressed their covetousness for Yundi.
Now, Yelu Yanxi has given part of the cloud land to Western Xia, and the Jin people have withdrawn from the cloud land.
In view of the actual situation that the Liao State has declined.
How could Western Xia not want to take this opportunity to take the entire Cloud Land, or even the Yanyun Region, as their own, and completely get rid of the embarrassing situation of being trapped in a remote projectile land?
Tan Zhi was defenseless against this.
- Tan Zhi has been busy collecting rare treasures, gold, silver, pearls and jade, to fill his own pockets, and to squeeze out Tong Guan to become the Zhao Song Dynasty
The first person in the military, that is to say, Tan Zhen's mind was not on stabilizing the defense of Yundi for the Zhao Song Dynasty.
As a result, the Zhao and Song dynasties were caught off guard by the Liaoxia coalition army.
By the time Tan Zhi reacted and hurriedly ordered Li Siben to lead the righteous victorious army to meet the battle, the Liaoxia coalition army had already entered the cloud land.
At the beginning, the Yisheng army fought okay.
- In the early days, the Yisheng army and the Western Xia army fought several times, and both sides won and lost.
However, the Western Xia army refused to retreat, and dragged the main force of the Yisheng army to death.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Yelu Yanxi personally led a large army to take the former Liaoxijing (now Yunzhongfu).
Thinking that at the beginning, Wanyan Zongwang led a large army to attack Liaoxijing, and Xiaochara, who stayed in Liaoxijing, saw that the general trend had gone, so he had to open the city and reduce gold.
Who would have thought that after the Jin army led by Wanyan Zongwang entered the city, they burned and looted on a large scale, leaving only a partial army left by the general to live in Xijing.
The Liao people hated the Jin people for burning, killing and looting in Xijing, so they took advantage of the emptiness left in Xijing to kill Liuhu and others to rebel.
As a result, it was suppressed by Wanyan Zonghan and others who reacted in time.
Because Wanyan Zonghan's younger brother Wanyan Zha Baodi was killed in that battle and the Jin people suffered heavy casualties in the second capture of Liaoxijing, Wanyan Zonghan carried out an extremely brutal massacre of the Liao people in Xijing.
Since then, the Liao people of Yundi have formed a blood feud with the Jin people.
For more than a year, the Liao people rebelled against the rule of the Jin people whenever they had the opportunity.
This is also one of the reasons why Wanyan Aguta gave up on Yundi.
After that, it was the turn of the Zhao Song Dynasty to rule Yundi.
The Liao people in Yundi thought that they could finally live in peace.
But who would have thought that the Zhao Song Dynasty would be so weak that the Jin people would take away all the rich families among them.
And the fields and mansions of all the rich families in Yundi were soon wantonly occupied by the righteous victorious army and the permanent victorious army.
The Yisheng Army and the Changsheng Army, especially the latter, were arrogant and domineering everywhere, and there were many cases of encroachment on people's land, so the people of Yundi were not able to make a living.
What is even more tragic is that the families of some of the former ministers of the Liao State have turned into beggars, they have suffered hardship and humiliation everywhere, and even innocently were killed by the Chang Shengjun, and there is no way to complain.
It can be said that after the Zhao Song Dynasty took over Yundi, due to the looting and harassment of the Song army, due to the mistakes of the policies of the Zhao and Song Dynasty, and due to the weakness and confusion of the Yunzhong Mansion represented by Wang Anzhong, many families in Yundi were more displaced and distressed, which made the Zhao Song Dynasty lose the hearts of the people in Yundi.
The people of Yundi were very disappointed in the Zhao and Song dynasties that they had hoped for.
In their opinion, the Jin people were inferior to the Khitans, and the Song people were inferior to the Jin people.
Now, Yelu Yanxi, which the Liao people were looking forward to, has finally returned.
The Liao people in Yundi rebelled one after another, and joined forces with Yelu Yanxi, and drove the Yisheng army and the Changsheng army out of Xijing City in the first battle, and then welcomed Yelu Yanxi into the city.
Western Xia then exerted his strength, drove away Sun Tuanlian of Shuozhou and Su Jing, the envoy of Yingzhou Jiedu, and killed Chen Yi, the warden of Ulzhou.
The main force of the Changsheng army was not in Yundi, but in the area of Zhuozhou.
The main force of Yundi is still the righteous victory army led by Li Siben.
In order to recapture Yundi, Li Siben led the righteous victorious army to meet the combined forces of Western Xia and Liao, but was defeated and fled in embarrassment.
Western Xia captured Shuo, Ying, and Wei prefectures, and then successively captured Flying Fox and Lingqiu.
In this way, the Liaoxia coalition took control of Yundi - Western Xia controlled Yunnan and Yunxi, and Liao controlled Yunbei and Yundong.
The Zhao and Song dynasties were completely driven out of the clouds.
As soon as he made a move, he recovered Xijing, one of the five capitals, which made Yelu Yanxi extremely complacent.
Yelu Yanxi issued an edict, calling on the Liao people to rise up against the invasion of the Jin State and the Daqian Dynasty, and Chen Bing made a posture to recover Yanjing at Juyong Pass.
The people of Yandi reacted very calmly to Yelu Yanxi's call, and even disgusted that this faint monarch had come to disturb their peaceful and happy life again.
Moreover, there are a large number of courtiers of the former Liao State, such as Liu Yanzong,
It is suggested that Li Cun must get rid of Yelu Yanxi, otherwise it is easy to be unstable.
Li Cun wanted to see if after more than a year of his careful governance, would there be any stubborn people in Yandi who would follow Yelu Yanxi, the faint king?
If there is, Li Cun can just take this opportunity to get rid of the last hidden danger of Yandi, so as to save himself from the backyard of Yandi on fire when he goes to the Zhao Song Dynasty in the future.
Who would have thought, Li Cun didn't wait for someone to jump up here in Yandi, but waited for Zhang Jue in Pingzhou to come up.
Zhang Jue was a native of Yifeng, Pingzhou, and was admitted to the Jinshi of the Liao State when he was young, and was later awarded the deputy envoy of the Liaoxing Army.
coincided with the great chaos of the Liao State, the Pingzhou militia killed the envoy of the state festival, and Zhang Jue led people to exterminate it, and became the chief official of Pingzhou.
After Yeluchun's death, Zhang Jue felt that the Liao State was going to die, so he began to secretly recruit troops and horses, get 50,000 horses, and then recruit heroes, gather grain and grass, and select generals to train troops.
At the same time, Zhang Jue recruited talented scholars to participate in the discussion, secretly preparing for the hegemony.
During the reign of Xiao Puxian, she sent the crown prince Shaobao Shi Liai to know Pingzhou.
After Shi Liai arrived, Zhang Jue respected him on the surface, but in fact he rejected him everywhere.
Shi Liai noticed that Zhang Jue had different ambitions, so he often said that he was sick, and all military and political affairs in the state were decided by Zhang Jue.
After Li Cun entered the main Yandi, he attached great importance to the strategic position of Ping, Luan, and Ying, and was ready to send Wu Jie to capture Pingzhou.
But at that time, Li Cun had to recover the entire territory of Yandi, but also prevent Song Jin from attacking him, and the troops in his hands were really a little stretched.
After all, Zhang Jue has an army of 50,000 in his hands, and the three states of Pingluan Camp are easy to defend and difficult to attack, so they are not easy to attack.
In addition, Zhang Jue took the initiative to lower Li Cun's table and said: "There are eight roads in Liao, seven of which have died, and only one Pingzhou Road is left, how dare you have any hope? The reason why the rural soldiers under the ministers have not yet been disarmed and returned to the fields is mainly to defend against the invasion of the Jin people, and they have no other intentions."
Subsequently, Zhang Jue presented Li Cunjin with a lot of treasures and thirty beauties.
Li Cun knew that Zhang Jue was a delaying tactic, but due to the situation at the time, Li Cun still transferred Shi Liai back and appointed Zhang Jue as the envoy of the Linhai Navy, and still knew Pingzhou.
Now, knowing that Yelu Yanxi had recaptured the cloud land, Zhang Jue felt that his opportunity had come.
Zhang Jue immediately summoned a group of officials and generals on Pingzhou Road to a meeting to discuss countermeasures.
Someone took this opportunity to recommend Li Shi, a bachelor of Hanlin, to Zhang Jue, saying that he was born as a champion, wise and resourceful, and he could be consulted with him.
Zhang Jue then sent someone to invite Li Shi over.
After some secret discussions, Zhang Jue and Li Shi's thoughts coincided, and they both believed that this was an opportunity for historical change, and they should seize the opportunity to do something big.
Li Shi said to Zhang Jue: "Xiao Ke heard that Your Majesty has visited several Tatar tribes, and the army has recovered, and there are 50,000 elite cavalry, and there is a great help from the Xia Kingdom. If the Duke of Ming can hold high the banner of King Qin at this time, sing the righteousness of the world, and welcome His Majesty, then the revival of the Liao Kingdom is just around the corner."
Zhang Jue said, "This important matter should not be decided hastily."
In fact, Zhang Jue still had a portrait of Yelu Yanxi painted, hung it above the lobby, and then did not matter how big or small, he went on his way, and began to implement the old official system of the Liao State in the three states of Pingluanying.
Li Cun was not in a hurry to clean up Zhang Jue before, but the secret agents of Wu Desi, the pro-army Duwei Mansion and the Military Intelligence Department had already entered Zhang Jue's side.
Therefore, as soon as Zhang Jue moved, Li Cun knew about it.
Li Cun found Wu Jue and gave him a month to restore the three states of Luanying.
At the same time, Zhan Du also inquired about Zhang Jue's betrayal of the Daqian Dynasty and reported this information to Zhao Ji.
Zhao Ji has now realized that the Great Song Dynasty is very dangerous.
This made Zhao Ji begin to pay attention to the plan of Song and Jin to jointly attack the cadres.
And if the Song and Jin want to unite, there must be a passage for the Jin people to go south, otherwise, the Jin State wants to help the Great Song Dynasty, and it can't help.
If Yundi is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty
, even in the hands of Jin Guo, there is no embarrassment without this channel.
But on the contrary, Zhao Ji didn't cover the heat much, and the cloud land was lost.
Zhao Ji wanted to recover Yundi, and even more wanted to recover Yandi.
But Zhao Ji looked carefully at the cards in his hand, and he was really powerless.
There was no way, Zhao Ji could only retreat to see if he could open up the Liaoxi Corridor.
- If Zhao Ji can recover the three states of Pingluanying, then the Great Song Dynasty can connect with the Jin State through the Liaoxi Corridor, and at a critical time, the Great Song Dynasty can open the Liaoxi Corridor to let the Jin people enter the customs.
Therefore, Zhao Ji gave Zhan Du the highest instructions, he must recruit Zhang Jue, at any cost.
Zhan Du then sent someone to find Zhang Jue's in-law Wang Yi and asked Wang Yi to go to Pingzhou to send a message to Zhang Jue to show friendship.
Zhang Jue also knew that his betrayal would definitely attract an attack by the cadres army, and Li Cun would never let go of these people in Pingzhou.
And if the Zhao Song Dynasty is willing to accept them, then, if they are not attacked by the Qianjun army, the Great Song Dynasty will become their back road.
Therefore, Zhang Jue immediately sent Zhang Xingyou to contact Zhan Du to find out the true intentions of the Great Song Dynasty.
The two sides soon reached a consensus, and Zhao Ji sent Zhang Jue's younger brother Zhang Jun to Pingzhou to recruit Zhang Jue with the Taining military card, as well as the edict, the edict, and the imperial edict.
But at this moment, Wu Jue was ordered by Li Cun to lead the Yulin army to attack the three states of Pingluanying.
In the face of the sudden attack of the Yulin army, Zhang Jue was defenseless and was caught off guard by the cadres, and was defeated and retreated.
As a last resort, Zhang Jue could only flee from Rabbit Ear Mountain to Song Realm for help with a small number of cronies.
The Yulin army soon surrounded the city of Pingzhou.
Zhang Jue's cousin, Zhang Dungu, and several of Zhang Jue's nephews led the soldiers and civilians in Pingzhou to wait for help—they hoped that the Song army near Zhuozhou would come to their rescue.
And Wu Jue was also ready to encircle the point and send reinforcements, just waiting for the Zhao Song Dynasty to send troops to come, and then the Daqian Dynasty had an excuse to kill the Zhao Song Dynasty.
Who would have thought, it was true that the Zhao and Song dynasties wanted to get Pingzhou, but in the face of the fierce offensive of the Yulin army, the Song army did not dare to come to fight with it at all.
To put it bluntly, the attitude of the Zhao Song Dynasty towards Pingzhou is actually just to seek it but not to gain it.
Seeing that the Song army had no intention of coming to the rescue of Pingzhou, Wu Jue was disappointed, and then ordered to break through Pingzhou, and then divided his troops to capture Luanzhou and Yingzhou and Yuguan.
Zhang Jue's mother, wife and other family members are not in Pingzhou, but in Yingzhou.
After Yingzhou was broken by the Yulin army, Zhang Jue's mother and wife were captured by the Yulin army.
Zhang Jun is a filial son, he heard that his mother was captured by the Yulin army, and saw that the Song army was not willing to rescue Pingzhou at all, so he secretly returned to Pingzhou, and then he carried Zhao Ji to Zhang Jue's imperial pen golden flower paper edict, as well as the edict and other documents, all dedicated to Wu Jue, he hoped to exchange for his mother's life.
After Wu Jue got this, he was overjoyed!
Now, as long as they are not stupid, they can all see that Li Cun has the momentum of unifying the world.
However, Li Cun is still short of a high-sounding excuse for the Song Dynasty.
Actually-
It's just that some people are worried about salty radish soup.
Li Cun has never been bothered by this trivial matter.
Because of the best excuse, Zhao Kuangyin had already found a good one for Li Cun - how could others snore on the side of the couch.
It's just that Li Cun is scheming, and he has never told others that he is ready to use Zhao Kuangyin's excuse to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty.
In the eyes of many people under Li Cun, Da Qian should still have a reasonable excuse to do Song in order to become famous.
Therefore, all the military ministers of the Great Qian Dynasty who are ready to be the courtiers of the Great Unification Dynasty have been helping Li Cun find an excuse to do the Song Dynasty recently.
Wu Jue felt that the Zhao Song Dynasty recruited the traitors of the Daqian Dynasty was a very good excuse.
Therefore, Wu Jue hurriedly sent someone to properly send these evidences to Yanjing and present them to Li
Exist......
