…

After the Great Qian Dynasty defeated the joint attack of the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Dajin Kingdom, Yue Fei, the general of the Great Qian Dynasty, conquered Yanmen Pass and occupied Daizhou; Han Shizhong, the general of the Great Qian Dynasty, recovered Zhuozhou, which the Zhao and Song dynasties voluntarily abandoned, and pushed the battle line to the area of the Baigou River to confront the Changsheng army.

To the surprise of the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Daqian Dynasty did not make any further moves to attack the Song Dynasty.

The Zhao and Song monarchs were very afraid that the Daqian Dynasty was preparing for a full-scale attack on the Song Dynasty, and soon the Zhao and Song dynasties would face a stormy attack from the Daqian Dynasty.

After discussing with Cai Jing, Cai You, Bai Shizhong and Li Bangyan, Zhao Ji thought that the Great Song Dynasty no longer had the ability to fight with the Great Qian Dynasty, and could only add some other conditions to the Great Qian Dynasty for land cession and compensation, such as Li Cun has always liked Emperor Maode and Zhao Fujin, these can all be discussed, as long as Li Cun does not come to attack the Great Song Dynasty.

Soon, Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others, who were in danger, came to Yanjing and wanted to ask to see Li Cun.

However, Li Cun did not meet Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys, but Han Fang and other officials of the Ministry of Rites of the Great Qian Dynasty came forward to receive Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys.

As soon as the two sides met, Han Fang preemptively said: "Your dynasty has already sent a large army to attack our big cadres with the Jin country, and now you and I have risen up with swords, what else is there to talk about, your dynasty is only in charge of the troops and horses, and in the future, you and I will solve the contradictions between you and me on the battlefield, isn't this just what your dynasty wanted?"

Zhao Liangsi hurriedly said: "This time, my Great Song Dynasty and the Jin State jointly attacked the Gui Dynasty, but I was bewitched by the Jin State, and because the Shogunate was not human, I misunderstood the emperor of our dynasty, which was not the original intention of our dynasty, and I hope that the Gui Dynasty can give my dynasty a chance to make up for the mistakes of our dynasty."

Ma Kuo then said: "The matter has come to this, our dynasty is not the slightest responsibility, in the past, you and I have already had a peace treaty, I will exchange the sixteen states of Yanyun plus the three states of Pingluanying with the Gui Dynasty with Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road and Jingnan Road, now our dynasty listens to the slander of the Jin State, and rises a large army to jointly attack the Gui Dynasty with the Jin State, there is a mistake in the first place, and the emperor of our dynasty has repented of this, so my court is willing to give the territory of Huainan East Road, Huainan West Road, Jinghu South Road, Jinghu North Road and Jingnan South Road to your dynasty unconditionally. No longer ask your dynasty for the sixteen states of Yanyun and the three states of Pingluanying, you and I will take the old border of Song and Liao as the border in the north, each enjoy peace, and never invade each other, I hope that Han Xianggong will tell the emperor of your dynasty for our dynasty."

Han Fang laughed: "Your dynasty's wishful thinking is really good, I don't want to pay for any benefits, so I want to end this catastrophe of destroying the country, if this defeat is our dynasty, I am afraid that your dynasty will not take away the territory of our dynasty with the Jin country, and my dynasty from the emperor down will become a prisoner of the noble dynasty and the Jin dynasty, how can there be any room for bargaining?"

What Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys did not know was that since the victory over the Song and Jin alliances, many ministers of the Daqian Dynasty, especially the ministers of the former Liao State, constantly encouraged Li Cun to attack the Song.

Especially not long ago, the Yisheng army stationed in Longqing Mansion mutinied, and the three thousand Yisheng soldiers ran straight to Daizhou and fled to the Longxiang army.

In addition, Han Minyi, the leader of the Changsheng Army, also led 500 men and horses to escape across the Baigou River and join the Jinwu army. ….

After these soldiers of the Righteous Victorious Army and the Changsheng Army voted for the Daqian Dynasty, they told Li Cunjunchen all the truth and fiction of the Zhao and Song Dynasty.

The key is that these soldiers of the Righteous Victorious Army and the Victorious Army also told Li Cunjunchen two very important pieces of information.

The first piece of information is about the Yisheng Army, well, to be precise, about Han'er.

At the beginning, when the Yisheng Army was formed, Zhao Ji and Tan Zhi gave the Yisheng Army a very high salary in order to make the Yisheng Army loyal and good at fighting, specifically, not only all the treatment was twice that of other forbidden troops, but they could also eat new food at once.

Later, Chang Shengjun also received such generous treatment.

But the preferential treatment of the Yisheng Army and the Changsheng Army, especially the Yisheng Army, caused great dissatisfaction and even psychological imbalance among the other armies of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

In the eyes of the Song people, the Han people in the Yanyun area were different from them.

The Song people felt that they were Han people, and the Han people in the Yanyun area were Han'er, or even Fan people, not their own people.

The word "Han'er" was originally the name given to the Han people by the Hu people.

There is a poem in the Han Yue Mansion that describes this: "I am a child of the captive family, and I don't understand Han children's songs."

There are also verses in Tang poems that "the Han is full of Hu'er language, but scolds the Han to the city".

Originally, "Han'er" and "Hanren" were actually synonymous, and there was no praise or disparagement.

But after the Khitan got the sixteen states of Yanyun from Shi Jingjiao, especially after the Zhao Song Dynasty could not recover the sixteen states of Yanyun and could only default to the territory of the Liao State, the Han people in the territory of the Liao State (mainly in the territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun) and the Han people in the territory of the Zhao Song Dynasty were different.

One of the most striking differences is that the Song and Liao provinces changed their names for the Han people in their borders.

The Liao people generally called the Han people in the territory of the Zhao and Song dynasties Nanren, and the Han people in their own country as Han'er.

The Song people also called the Han people in the Liao State Han'er, and sometimes called them Fanren.

The Liao, Song and later rising Jin all unanimously referred to the Han people in the Yanyun region as Han'er.

This shows that "Han'er" has actually evolved into a special term with a contemptuous tone, which also reflects that the Liao, Song, and Jin were all very distrustful and even contemptuous of these Han people in the Yanyun region.

This makes Han'er an existence that grandma doesn't love and uncle doesn't love.

Because of this, the soldiers of the Yisheng Army were often looked down upon by other soldiers of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

However, Zhao Ji and Tan Zhi also gave the Yisheng Army twice the monthly food and clothing, and the other Song army soldiers could only eat old grain, while the soldiers of the Yisheng Army could eat new grain.

This made other soldiers of the Song army, after meeting the soldiers of the Yisheng Army, often insult the soldiers of the Yisheng Army: "You are a new person, my officers and soldiers are also, and I am not as good as a fanren?" I'm going to punish you!"

Not only were the soldiers of the Zhao and Song dynasties very unfriendly to the Han people in the Yanyun area, and often insulted the Han people in the Yanyun area with "Fanren" to their faces, and never regarded the Han people in the Yanyun area as the same race, but even the common people of the Zhao and Song dynasties were very disrespectful to the Han people in the Yanyun area, and also regarded the Han people in the Yanyun area as "Fanren".

And Zhao Song Junchen's attitude towards the Han people in the Yanyun area is actually very ambiguous, they are not only suspicious of the Han people in the Yanyun area, do not trust the Han people in the Yanyun area, but also want to win over the Han people in the Yanyun area and use the Han people in the Yanyun area. ….

In the face of the distrust and contempt of the Zhao Song Dynasty from top to bottom, they were not like the soldiers of the Changsheng Army and the soldiers of the Yisheng Army covered by Guo Yaoshi, and they could not find any sense of identity on the side of the Zhao Song Dynasty, and they even resented the Zhao Song Dynasty very much.

Gradually, all the soldiers of the Yisheng Army, and even all the Han people in the former Yanyun region in the territory of the Zhao Song Dynasty, all had two hearts for the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Completely different from the Zhao and Song dynasties, the Daqian Dynasty is here.

First of all, Li Cun is a Han Chinese, not a Song person, and his identity can be recognized by the Han people in the Yanyun area.

Secondly, Li Cun attaches great importance to ethnic unity, and has issued a strict order to prohibit the use of discriminatory titles such as "Han'er" and "Fanren" to refer to the Han people in the Yanyun area, and even people of other races are not allowed to be called like this. The second time, cut the tongue.

The key point is that although half of the army of the Great Qian Dynasty in the Yanyun area was brought by Li Cun from the south, half of it was recruited by Li Cun from the Yanyun area, and although some of the soldiers recruited by Li Cun in the Yanyun area were Khitan, Xi, Zhubu, Jurchen, and Murowei, most of them were actually Han people in the Yanyun area.

The key point is that the officers and ministers in the army of the Great Qian Dynasty have a large number of Han people in the Yanyun region.

In other words, the Han people in the Yanyun area are one of the real masters of the Daqian Dynasty, and they are no longer the existence that grandmothers don't love and uncles don't love.

In this case, those Han people in the Yanyun area, who have been second-class citizens for more than 200 years, are of course willing to integrate into the Daqian Dynasty and become masters.

Therefore, now, the Han people in the original Yanyun area within the territory of the Zhao Song Dynasty are all looking forward to Li Cun's defeat of the Song Dynasty, so to speak, as long as Li Cun defeats the Song Dynasty, they will immediately collectively rebel against the Song Dynasty and respond to Li Cun, and then help Li Cun to defeat the Zhao Song Dynasty.

In fact, not only the Yisheng Army and other Han'er were waiting to surrender Li Cun.

The Zhao Song Dynasty did not feed the Chang Shengjun army, and now because the Zhao Song Dynasty handed over Zhang Jue and was afraid that the Zhao Song Dynasty would blame them for defeating the battle, etc., and separated from the Zhao Song Dynasty, it can be said that as long as Li Cun sent someone to rebel, Guo Yaoshi and the Chang Shengjun were likely to rebel against the Song Dynasty.

There is another thing, that is, what is very puzzling is that not long ago, Tong Guan actually gave Zhao Ji a notebook and asked Zhao Ji to issue an edict to abolish the Ansu, Yongning, Baoding and other armies, because these armies lacked training, were lax, and duplicated the defense area of the Changsheng army.

Zhao Ji, who was worried about the increasing military spending and the fact that the Zhao Song Dynasty was really out of money, quickly agreed to Tong Guan's request and abolished the Ansu, Yongning, Baoding and other armies.

This made the defense of the Zhao and Song dynasties in Hebei more dominated by the victorious army.

In this way, as long as the Daqian Dynasty can recruit the righteous victorious army and the Changsheng army, Hebei and Hedong can be said to be very likely to be self-defeating.

After that, the Daqian Dynasty didn't even have to do it themselves, and relied on the righteous victorious army and the Changsheng army to overthrow the Zhao and Song dynasties.

Let me ask, in this case, how could the courtiers of the Daqian Dynasty not pry Li Cunfa Song, especially the original Liao people who hated the Zhao Song Dynasty for destroying their country?

What the courtiers of the Daqian Dynasty didn't expect was that Li Cun decisively suppressed the matter, and only let Li Gang, Liu Yanzong and others govern the Yanyun area with their hearts, and be sure to do a good job in the spring planting work in the Yanyun area next year. ….

Not only that, Li Cun also made Chen Hoop Bucket the left-behind minister of the Yanyun region (Li Gang and Liu Yanzong were the deputies), and he himself quietly returned to Yingtianfu, where he had been away for almost two years.

Many ministers of the Daqian Dynasty didn't understand why Li Cun didn't overthrow the Zhao and Song dynasties in one go.

Only Chen Hoopoo, Li Gang, Liu Yanzong and other people who really have a view of the overall situation understand that Li Cun is not thinking about the trivial matter of overthrowing the Zhao and Song dynasties, but about overturning the future of the Zhao and Song dynasties.

You must know that the Central Plains region has a population of more than 20 million.

Moreover, a large part of the more than 20 million people are currently hungry.

If the Daqian Dynasty wants to take over the Zhao and Song Dynasty, it must first have the ability to accept refugees in the Central Plains who may have reached tens of millions, otherwise it will definitely rebel.

And expecting the land of Yanyun to solve such a big problem is definitely a fool's dream.

Besides, Yundi still needs Yandi's relief, and it is already very good for Yanyun to reach a balance in a short period of time, how can it still have the ability to help the tens of millions of refugees in the Central Plains?

At present, the only way to solve such a big problem is to rely on the 14 roads in the south of the Great Qian Dynasty.

On this point, before Li Zheng officially went to the Song Dynasty, he must first go back to the south to find out the bottom of it, and if there is no problem, he will be ready to assist the Central Plains.

In addition, Li Cun, the emperor, will be two years younger as soon as he leaves the country, which is not a good thing.

Therefore, Li Cun had to respond to Tianfu and make final preparations for the Song Dynasty.

The courtiers of the Daqian Dynasty, seeing that Li Cun could still be so calm, not impatient, and not give the slightest chance to fail under such a good situation, felt more and more that Li Cun was a wise monarch through the ages, and they were even more convinced that Li Cun could complete the great unification.

Before Li Cun left, he specially explained that he could first talk to the Zhao Song Dynasty about the land cession and compensation, so as to temporarily stabilize the Zhao Song Dynasty, so as not to jump over the wall in a hurry.

Of course, it is certainly impossible to cede land only to the Yanyun region.

Li Cun personally made instructions, asking the Zhao and Song dynasties to take the Yellow River as the boundary and cede Hebei and Hedong to the Daqian Dynasty.

According to Li Cun's supreme instructions, Han Fang said: "If your dynasty wants to get the forgiveness of my great cadres, it is very simple, just cut off the land of Hedong and Hebei, take the big river as the boundary, and then compensate me for 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million horses of silk, and access the Sheji of the Great Song Dynasty Temple, but it can repay the country."

As soon as Ma Kuo heard Han Fang's lion open his mouth, he argued with reason: "Tianzuo lost his way, appointed women to do evil, and the sky was disgusted with people, so it was broken by the Jin Kingdom and your dynasty, and this dynasty also complained that it was disobedient and defeated the alliance, so we helped each other and fought for destruction. And I am benevolent to the emperor

, our dynasty is thousands of miles away, the country is rich and the people are not lost. If the Gui Dynasty listens to the Khitan fight, if it has to fight with our court, it must suffer losses. The city of Hedong and Hebei Prefecture is strong, and the army and the people are accustomed to fighting, if there is a hurry, the people must hold on to the city, how can it be easy to break it? However, it is just to capture some villagers' money, even if you have gains, it will benefit the army, and if you lose something, it will harm the country. and killed a Song person, that is, to avenge the Khitan, and to kill a dry person, it is also to avenge the Khitan. Now that your dynasty has wiped out the Khitan, and we have half of the territory of our dynasty, we have to stop our troops early, and everyone can enjoy peace, which is not the best policy, how can it be easy to talk about fighting! Kuojiu was ordered to serve as an envoy, and he did not dare not be extremely loyal to the two dynasties, and begged Emperor Daqian to think deeply." ….

Zhao Liangsi also said: "The Gui Dynasty opened its mouth and asked our dynasty not to lose Hebei and Hedong, and to let the land have more gold, silver and silk silk, it is not sincere to resolve grievances, it is better for my dynasty to transfer the old coins to the Liao State to your dynasty, you and I will stop fighting and enjoy peace in each other, how about it?"

Zhao Liangsi also knew that the Daqian Dynasty now had a huge advantage in being able to overthrow the Zhao and Song dynasties, and it was impossible for Li to store the Zhao and Song dynasties with this condition.

Therefore, Zhao Liangsi immediately said that if there were any reasonable conditions in the Daqian Dynasty, everyone would discuss it, and euphemistically said that his family Emperor Maode admired Li Cun very much.

But Han Fang didn't get in on the oil and salt, so he bit the bite and ceded Hebei and Hedong and demanded 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million pieces of silk silk as war reparations.

Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys had no choice but to pass back the conditions of the Daqian Dynasty to Zhao Ji.

After Zhao Ji learned about the conditions demanded by the Daqian Dynasty, he naturally couldn't agree.

First of all, Hebei and Hedong Zhao and Song dynasties could not be ceded.

Once the Zhao Song Dynasty ceded Hebei and Hedong, the Zhao Song Dynasty would only be left with the Central Plains and the Sichuan-Shaanxi region, and it would be completely reduced to a small country.

Also, the war indemnity of 10 million ingots of gold, 20 million ingots of silver, and 10 million horses of silk silk is too outrageous - 10 million pieces of silk silk, the Zhao and Song Dynasty can get it, but the 10 million ingots of gold and 20 million ingots of silver are 600 million yuan (one ingot is 50 taels), the key is that the Daqian Dynasty only needs gold and silver, so where does the Zhao Song Dynasty go to make up for the Daqian Dynasty?

There was no way, Zhao Ji could only instruct Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other Song envoys to join Zhao Ding and Qin Hui to continue to negotiate with the Daqian Dynasty.

Zhao Ji was very worried, one day he woke up, and suddenly heard the news of the invasion of the Zhao Song Dynasty by the Great Qian Dynasty.

Moreover, Zhao Ji was really worried about the future of the Zhao Song Dynasty and himself.

So, Zhao Ji issued a holy decree to summon Zhang Xubai, the "Golden Gate Feather Guest", into the palace.

The so-called "Golden Gate Yuke" is actually a Taoist priest - a Taoist priest with superb Taoism.

Zhao Ji can be regarded as the most Taoist emperor, there is no one.

Actually-

Zhao Ji believes in Taoist priests for a reason.

First of all, before Zhao Ji ascended the throne, a Taoist priest successfully predicted that Zhao Ji could become the emperor.

Later, Zhao Ji ascended the throne, but he never had children.

Maoshan Taoist priest Liu Mingkang told Zhao Ji that in the Bagua map, Gen is located in the northeast, representing the mountain, but this location in the northeast of Kaifeng City, not only does there be no mountain, but the terrain is too low, which will cause the royal heirs to be not prosperous enough, and if it is filled in, the descendants will be prosperous.

Zhao Ji built a rockery in the northeast according to what Liu Mingkang said, and sure enough, he continued to have children.

Later, another Taoist priest passed on some of Zhao Ji's Taoist practice methods.

Zhao Ji will be a first daughter on the fifth and seventh days, and he will be crowned once and he will be given the title number once, and he will continue to advance to the next level once.

This made Zhao Ji have sixty children, and at the same time, there were tens of thousands of women in Zhao Ji's palace for Zhao Ji to spare.

Zhao Ji, who received the benefits of Taoism, gathered a large number of famous Taoist priests to his side, the most famous of which were Lin Lingsu, Wang Yuncheng, Xu Zhichang, Dong Nanyun, Li Derou, Wang Chongdao, Shao Ruoyu, Wang Wenqing and other nine people.

There are only three people who have won the title of Jinmen Yuke - Lin Lingsu and Wang Yunchenghe

Zhang Xubai.

And this Xubai, although not the most famous, is deeply trusted by Zhao Ji, who has always called Zhang Xubai "Zhang Hu", not Zhang Xubai's name.

Zhang Xubai likes to drink very much, and every time he drinks, Zhang Xubai can say whatever he wants, and he has nothing to hide.

- Zhang Xubai often talks about what will happen in the future when he is drunk.

Zhang Xubai also fell asleep on Zhao Ji's lap after getting drunk.

Zhao Ji said to Zhang Xubai very tolerantly: "Zhang Hu, you are drunk."

Summoned by Zhao Jixiang, Zhang Xubai came to the palace.

Zhao Ji told Zhang Xubai about the current predicament faced by the Zhao Song Dynasty, and asked Zhang Xubai to speculate on good fortune and misfortune.

Zhang Xubai used Taiyi to calculate for a while, then took the wine gourd, and drank a large gourd wine one by one.

It wasn't until he was drunk that Zhang Xubai said, "Tianzuo has built a palace on the sea and waited for His Majesty for a long time."

When the people on the left and right heard Zhang Xubai's words, they were all shocked.

Only Zhao Ji was not angry, but looked at Zhang Xubai and said slowly, "Zhang Hu, you are drunk again."
