…

Without waiting for Ouyang Shilang to come to Xiongzhou, the Jin envoy Wuhe and Gao Qingyi went through Jinpo Pass to enter Yizhou, and then went straight to Xiongzhou under the escort of Cao Zheng.

After inquiry, the people of Shuibo Liangshan knew that Wu Xie and Gao Qing had also brought the letter of the Jin State.

After Chai Jin and Zhao Ding fooled Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi into the post house under house arrest, they showed Jiang Hongfei the national letter of the Jin Kingdom.

The contents of the credentials are as follows:

Emperor Dajin sent a letter to His Majesty the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty:

Time flies, a year flies. Last year, the dynasty sent two envoys to the Gui Dynasty, in order to make an appointment to send troops, but the court did not get it for several months, and the Gui Dynasty did not send back the envoy to reply to the letter, and there was no communication after that.

The first way is to enter the cloud land from Yehuling, Yawolf Pass (i.e., killing the tiger's mouth) and other places, and then enter the Yanmen Pass, and enter the hinterland of the Central Plains through the east of the river.

- Zhao Ji's idea is that Yandi must be recovered. If the cloud land can be recovered, it will be recovered, but if it can't be recovered, it will not be wanted.

This surprised Pharmacist Guo: "What is Xiao Gan doing in Zhuozhou?" Could it be that he's here to arrest me? ”

This matter, under Lehe's message, Jiang Hongfei knew it clearly.

Everyone looked at Pharmacist Guo together, waiting for him to make a decision.

By the way, this second road is the longest road that Hulu has traveled south.

Zhao Ding thought that the core meaning was that he suspected that the Zhao and Song dynasties had broken the contract, and feared that after the Song army recovered Yandi in the future, they would not be able to get the annual coins that the Zhao and Song dynasties had promised to give.

Pharmacist Guo was also hesitant!

If it was the Zhao and Song dynasties who attacked Liao, he would definitely be willing to surrender to that wealthy dynasty.

As soon as Chai Jin and Yan Qing left, Ouyang Shilang received the edict of the Liao State and brought many gifts and horses to Xiongzhou.

Ouyang Shilang came to the hall.

The heroes of Liangshan also know very well that now they are no longer the petty fights they used to be, but are really making contributions.

Chai Jin on the side listened to the words and took the initiative to ask: "I'll go." ”

According to the literal meaning, after the Song and Jin dynasties destroyed Liao, only the seven states of Yandi belonged to the Zhao Song Dynasty, and the three states of Yundi, Kyushu, Heping, Luan, and Ying were not under the demands of the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Ye Luchun sent someone to recruit Jiang Hongfei this time, not only did not impress Jiang Hongfei at all, but also let Jiang Hongfei see Ye Luchun's weakness and political naivety.

In fact, the Zhao and Song dynasties with Hedong and Yanmen Pass are really not lacking in Yundi Kyushu.

After Sun Jing received the order, he commanded the right army to quickly advance towards Zhuozhou.

After figuring out Ye Luchun's plan, Jiang Hongfei bluntly asked Ouyang Shilang to take him down.

Jiang Hongfei said: "Zhao Beizhi is right, the core of this is the issue of interests. We now have to find a way to take advantage of the greed of the Jin people and stabilize the Jin people, so that they will not disturb us to attack the Yan Land. At present, the Khitan has been fragmented, its demise has been the general trend, if we can take the opportunity to recover all the Han and Tang lands that have been taken by the Khitan for five generations, then we are national heroes. ”

With the tone set by Jiang Hongfei, Chai Jin and Zhao Ding came forward to continue the negotiations between the Zhao Song Dynasty and the Jin State with Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi, the main content of which was to fight for Yundi Kyushu, as well as the three states of Ping, Luan, and Ying.

But in recent years, with the decline of the coastline and artificial development and construction, Hulu has a third option to go south.

The prefectures and counties under the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying are the military strongholds that hold the western Liaoning corridor.

Jiang Hongfei did not hesitate, and ordered Sun Jing to attack Zhuozhou.

Liu Shunren said: "It is better to descend to Jiangyan than to descend to the Jurchens, Ah Guda was ordered to open the foundation, and in seven or eight years, he will be the master of the Ming Dynasty, with the world dying, the merits are luxuriant, and the ancient times are unprecedented." ”

In addition, there is the first pass in the world Yuguan (that is, Shanhaiguan) in the western Liaoning corridor.

is Yeluchun, the emperor of Northern Liao, who usurped Yelu Yanxi, and the key Yelu Yanxi is not dead now, so now, Yeluchun, the emperor of Northern Liao, no one recognizes it except for these people in Northern Liao.

In Yanjing, the left-behind king Yelu Chun was known as a respecter, and he had sent people to ask for peace with the vassal, but this dynasty thought that he had an appointment with your dynasty in advance, so he did not respond.

Pharmacist Guo said: "Xiao Gan is here, I don't know what the purpose is, how do you think you should deal with it?" ”

Li Gang said: "It depends on the situation. ”

- Yanjing kept spreading the news that Xiao Puxian was preparing to massacre Han officials on a large scale, and the news spread wildly, which made Guo Yaoshi's heart tremble.

At the beginning, when the Song and Jin countries engaged in a maritime alliance to discuss the joint destruction of Liao, Zhao Ji did not understand the geographical situation of the Yanyun region, so he only asked the Jin people for Yandi and managed Zhou County.

Pharmacist Guo hurriedly summoned Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen and other confidants to discuss countermeasures.

Seeing this, Ouyang Shilang did not insist anymore, but directly owed to Jiang Hongfei and said:

"I have heard the name of the lord of Jiangzhai for a long time in the Great Liao Kingdom, and I am fighting for the mountains and rivers far away, and I have no reason to see the prestige. I also heard that the owner of the village was in Liangshan Dazhai, doing the way for heaven, and all the brothers worked together. Today, the traitors of the Song Dynasty, closed the virtuous road, those who have spiritual money to invest in their subordinates, they will be reused by high-ranking officials, and those who invest in their subordinates without bribery will always have a great contribution to the country, and they will be buried in the empty space and cannot be rewarded. In this way, the traitorous party grabs power, slanders and luck, envy of the virtuous and jealous, and the rewards and punishments are unknown, resulting in chaos in the world. The good people are devastated by it, and they are not allowed to make a living. Today, the lord of the village commanded 200,000 elite soldiers, attacked my Yan land, suffered from this labor, and did nothing but fame and fortune.

Seeing that Ye Luchun really sent someone to recruit him, Jiang Hongfei couldn't help but shake his head in his heart: "The matter has come to this, Ye Luchun still wants to recruit me, it's ridiculous!" ”

The second way is to enter Yandi through Juyong Pass, Songting Pass, Jinpo Pass, Gubeikou and other passes, or directly enter Hebei from Baoma Pass, and then go south.

Chai Jin smiled freely: "The little brother's life was saved by the elder brother, for the elder brother, for the world, why should the younger brother die?" ”

It is not difficult to see the importance of Yandi to the Central Plains Dynasty from this passage, if the Central Plains Dynasty can get the Yandi, it can resist Hulu outside the Great Wall, and if Yandi is in the hands of Hulu, the Central Plains Dynasty is Hulu's back garden, and they want to come when they want.

Zhen Wuchen said: "Xiao Gan must not have anything good to come to Zhuozhou, I think he is likely to come to carry out Concubine Xiao De's secret decree and come to arrest us." ”

In terms of soldiers and horses, Jiang Hongfei always has 50,000 or 600,000 horses, and Yelu Chunduo said that there are only 50,000 or 60,000 horses.

Ouyang Shilang said: "There is a small matter, listen to it, and beg for it." ”

These days, Guo Yaoshi is paying close attention to the movements of Yandi and the movements of the Liangshan Army every day.

In terms of territory, Jiang Hongfei's current territory is much larger than that of Yeluchun, who only has six states.

This is also the main reason why Zhao Ji Junchen was preparing to join Jin to destroy Liao and recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, Tong Guan proposed to recover Yundi first from a military point of view, but Zhao Ji did not agree and forced Tong Guan to recover Yandi first.

In this case, how can those who have the heart of a career not fight?

Like Yang Zhi, like Chen Xizhen, and like Chai Jin, it's all like this.

Obviously, Zhao Ding's insights are more profound than Chen Xizhen's.

Jiang Hongfei thought for a while and said, "Then detain Gao Qingyi, and then send someone to go to Fengsheng Prefecture with Wu Xie to meet Yan Aguta." ”

Jiang Hongfei asked, "What are you doing here when the waiter comes to me?" ”

If the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying are not recovered, even if the Central Plains Dynasty recovers the sixteen states of Yanyun, it will not be able to completely block Hu Lu from the pass.

After Chai Jin and Zhao Ding talked to Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi, Zhao Ding said: "Wu Xie has never seen anything in the world, and it is very easy to deal with." Gao Qingyi is a native of Bohai, he is very familiar with our Han culture and the Great Song Dynasty, and he is also very shrewd, and Zhao Liangsi is an old acquaintance. ”

Jiang Hongfei wanted to persuade again, but Chai Jin said: "Brother doesn't need to say much, just teach Yan Qing to go with me." ”

Yan Qing was not ambiguous when she heard this, and said bluntly: "The villain is willing to go!" ”

Jiang Hongfei asked everyone: "What can I do if it seems like this?" ”

Just as Guo Yaoshi was thinking about whether to surrender Jiang Hongfei or Jinren, Guo Yaoshi received news that Xiao Gan was coming to Zhuozhou from Yanjing.

In order to stabilize the Jin people, Jiang Hongfei asked Chai Jin and Zhao Ding to continue to ask the Jin people for Yundi Kyushu and Pingluanying Sanzhou in this direction, as for the matter of the New Year's coin, it can be as much as it wants, anyway, this is what the Zhao Song Dynasty promised, what does it have to do with him Jiang Hongfei, he Jiang Hongfei never intended to give it.

However, in the mountains and rivers of Hedong, the pass is full of dangers, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and only one Yanmen Pass has blocked the footsteps of the vast majority of Hu people going south.

Jiang Hongfei read the letter of the Jin Kingdom several times and asked everyone: "You analyze, what is the core meaning of the letter of the Jin Kingdom?" ”

In fact, not only Jiang Hongfei, but also the courtiers of the Zhao Song Dynasty all knew that Zhao Ji had made this huge mistake, but because of Zhao Ji's face, no one dared to discuss this matter.

The West Liaoning Corridor, also known as the Yuguan Corridor, is located between Jinzhou and Yuguan, east of Liaodong Bay, west of Songling Mountain, southwest to northeast direction, the corridor is backed by mountains and facing the sea, hills are undulating, the situation is dangerous, it is an important channel to communicate inside and outside Yuguan, and it has always been a necessary place for soldiers to fight since the Qin and Han dynasties.

Since ancient times, the Hulu on the grassland invaded the Central Plains Dynasty in the south, and there were usually only three roads to take.

Later, he learned that the Khitan was running in the desert, so he divided his troops to continue the pursuit.

Recently, Zhuozhou's supreme military commander Chang Shengjun commanded Guo Yaoshi, and he has been very uneasy.

Chen Xizhen said disdainfully: "Ye Luchun is also worthy of recruiting An and my water to Bo Liangshan?" ”

Later, it was Wang Hao who discovered this problem, and Zhao Jijunchen chased the Jin people's buttocks and asked for the three states of Yundi Kyushu and Heping, Luan, and Ying.

This third road is the Liaoning West Corridor.

Jiang Hongfei nodded, and asked people to bring that Ouyang Shilang.

After the ceremony, sit down with the guests and hosts.

But it was a group of bandits who came to attack Liao, although this group of thieves looked quite extraordinary, but in Guo Yaoshi's opinion, it was indeed more worthy of refuge than the Jin people who seized the four capitals of Liao.

Originally, there were only these two roads for Hulu to go south.

Ou is now under the order of the lord of the Great Liao State, and the special officer ordered to be the king of Qi, the general of the Liaobang Town, the generalissimo of the generalissimo of the soldiers and horses, and the gift of a spiritual stone, a hundred color segments and famous horses. Then they will copy the names of all the leaders and go to the country, and confer official titles according to their names.

"The land of Youzhou, fertile fields for thousands of miles, the north limit of the mountains, the heavy mountains and obstacles, there are five passes, Juyong can drive a big car, through the transfer. Songting, Jinpo, and Gubeikou are closed to people and horses, and they are not allowed to drive. There are eighteen small roads outside, as far as the rabbit path and bird road, which can only pass people, and cannot drive horses. In the south of the mountain, the land has grains, fruits, good timber, and beautiful wood. Out of the customs only dozens of miles then the Tongshan water turbidity, all barren halogen, the yellow grass, white grass, do not know the extreme, how can the sky set this limit Huayi also. ”

Chen Xizhen believes that the core meaning is to complain that the Zhao and Song Dynasty raised troops to the north and did not send an envoy to report.

Hearing that Yizhou Gao Feng had descended Jiang Hongfei, Guo Yaoshi's heart couldn't help but move - he felt that this was probably the only path he could choose, although he had no contact with Jiang Hongfei, and he didn't know about Jiang Hongfei's deeds, but the situation in Liao was getting worse and worse, and he felt that it was time to find a way back for himself.

I really don't blame Chen Xi for being arrogant.

I didn't come to lure the owner of the village, this is the lord of my Daliao country who has heard the lord of the village for a long time, and sent Ou to pre-invite the owner of the village, recruit the generals, and agree to surrender. ”

After making a plan, Jiang Hongfei casually found an excuse to detain Gao Qingyi, and asked Chai Jin and Yan Qing to follow Wu Xie to Fengshengzhou......

Zhang Linghui said: "In my opinion, let's simply be like Yizhou Gao Feng, descend to Jiangyan and dedicate the city, which can not only save our lives, but also protect our officials, why not?" ”

After Liu Huiniang learned of this, she asserted: "Most of this person came to recruit us on behalf of Ye Luchun." ”

The advantage of this road is that as long as you enter the Guannai, then it is the North China Plain of Pingchuan, and you can drink the Yellow River and throw the Yangtze River into the hinterland of the Central Plains Dynasty and even the national capital in a few days.

Jiang Hongfei only left Gao Liang, Chen Xizhen, Du Bai and Lu Junyi, and drank the rest of the people back.

Such a small regime in Northern Liao, still vainly trying to recruit An Jiang Hongfei, is really a big joke in the world!

Recently, I heard that Jiang Yan, the prince of Qi of the Gui Dynasty, raised troops to the north, waited for a long time, and did not see the envoy to report the date, so he was suspicious. Now, according to the reasons for the back and forth, the letter is asked, the meaning or how, hoping to show the end. Sheng Yan was waiting, Shun Yu Celestial Body, and now sent Bo Jin Wuxie, Gao Qingyi and others to serve as deputy and Su Shouji's family members, and there were a few gifts, and they were presented to Chen Da, and they were not announced. Sincerely.

The Gui Dynasty does not say the period, and the current dynasty will calculate it, so it will send troops to conscript. When I first arrived in Zhongjing, I broke through on the same day, and the Khitan faint lord absconded, and our army went straight to the back of the mountain, captured the Khitan faint lord, but let him escape and escape, only to get the palace. The army continued to Xijing, and the tribal armies of the prefectures and counties around Ying, Shuo, Wei and the Southwest Road were all attached. Later, there were two rebellions in Xijing and Dezhou, and they were lured by exhaustion, but they did not reform themselves, and the military orders were issued, and there was no way to pursue them, and the troops fought fiercely, killing and killing all the prisoners.

Jiang Hongfei reminded Chai Jin: "This matter is very dangerous, once the Jin people know the true relationship between me and Zhao Song, you may be worried about your life." ”

Therefore, the recovery of Yundi Kyushu is the icing on the cake for the Zhao and Song Dynasty, it is good to be able to recover, and it is also good to look good, but if it is really not recovered, it will have no impact on the Zhao Song Dynasty.

Just when Guo Yaoshi and the others were hesitating, a scout from the Chang Shengjun came to report: "Dutong, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses have come from Fan Village to kill me in Zhuozhou......."
