...

At the end of the fourth year of Xuanhe.

Tan Zhen led the Hedong generals Li Siben and Geng Shouzhong (former Liao generals, who were defeated by Zhang Xian) to take over Yundi without any surprises.

Wu Jie led all the Liangshan troops in Yundi to escort the last group of people who were willing to follow Shuibo Liangshan to Yandi through Juyongguan.

Li Yan did not let Wu Jie stay in Yandi, but asked Wu Jie to take the soldiers and civilians directly to Jizhou Port, and then arranged for the people to board the ship to the recovered Quanzhou.

Xuanhe five years ago.

The main leaders sent by Song State to take over Yandi have all arrived in Xiongzhou. They are: Wang Anzhong, Zhan Du and Zhong Shizhong.

Zhao Ji personally issued an edict, appointing Shangshu Zuocheng Wang Anzhong as the Jiedu Envoy of the Shaobao Jingnan Army, Xuanfu Envoy of Yanshanfu Road in Hebei to judge Yanshan Mansion, appointed Zhan Du, a scholar of the Zizheng Palace, as the appeasement envoy of Yanshan Mansion, and appointed the deputy guard of the army Ma Jun The commander of the capital made the middle division of the capital as the deputy chief of the capital.

In fact, Zhao Ji originally wanted Cai You, the greatest hero in recovering Yanyun, to serve as the guardian of Yandi, but Cai You was very self-aware, knowing that he could not shoulder this burden, and he did not want to be away for a long time, so he tried his best to decline—he He gave Zhao Ji a memorial saying that he was in poor health and often vomited blood, so he could not complete this important task.

Zhao Ji ordered Cai You to recommend the guardian of Yanjing, and Cai You recommended Wang Anzhong, saying that Wang Anzhong was from Hebei, and he was familiar with the affairs of the north, so he could be asked to appease Yanshan Mountain in Hebei.

Wang Anzhong was born as a Jinshi and was very talented. When he was young, he "studied under Su Shi and Chao Shuozhi". He was famous for impeaching Cai Jing. Yes, since the third year of Xuanhe, he began to serve as Shangshu Zuocheng.

Zhao Ji attached great importance to Wang Anzhong's appointment as the envoy of Yanjing Xuanfu. Let Wang Anzhong bring treasures like a few to Yanjing, and "lay them out in the state, so that they can be used by the barbarians."The courtesy and courtesy Wang Anzhong received was exceptional for a while.

Wang Fu also placed great hopes on Wang Anzhong. He specially hosted a banquet for Wang Anzhong to see him off, and presented him with poems to congratulate him. He also quietly promised Wang Anzhong: "When you come back after your term expires, I will help you ascend to the position of prime minister."

It can be seen that Wang Anzhong's position is multiple.

Although Cai You didn't want to be the guardian of Yandi, but he was extremely willing to make the unworldly contribution of recovering Yanyun, so he kept urging Li Yan to hand over Yandi.

There is another reason why Cai You is so anxious-Cai You has already inquired clearly. Not long ago, Li Yan's general Liu Kai defeated the Koryo and Taifeng coalition forces in Seoul. In other words, the danger of Seoul has been lifted.

Therefore, Cai You was afraid that Li Yan would repent, and no longer gave them the land of Yan to Song Dynasty.

Is Li Yan a capricious villain?
Furthermore, Liu Qi defeated Goryeo and the Taifeng allied forces to relieve the danger of Seoul, but the famous Korean general Tuo Junjing was not a vegetarian-in that battle, the Goryeo and Taifeng coalition forces were defeated, but in Tuojun Under the command of Jing, he didn't really hurt his muscles and bones, and he still had the power to fight.

Judging from the current situation, it is hard to say who will win and who will lose.

Therefore, Li Yan didn't talk nonsense, and directly asked Song Jun to borrow Songting Pass and Gubeikou to Song Jun generals Yang Keshi and Yao Pingzhong.

After those who were willing to go with Shuibo Liangshan all retreated to Jizhou Port and boarded the Sun Never Set Fleet, Li Yan withdrew Yue Fei Army, Liu Min Army, and Li Yan Army to Jizhou, and then sent Juyongguan, Zijingguan, Zhuozhou, Yizhou, Shunzhou, Tanzhou, and Jingzhou were all handed over to Song State.

A few days later, Li Yan entertained Wang Qing and Cai You in Yanjing Palace.

The next day, Li Yan led Xie Fanjun and Wang Yanjun to leave Yanjing for Jizhou City.

Two days later, Hu Yanqing handled the delivery matters with Zhong Shizhong and Zhao Liangsi on behalf of Shuibo Liangshan.

Someone once advised Li Yan to destroy Yanyun's fortifications and plunder all of Yanyun's wealth.

but--

This suggestion was rejected by Li Yan without hesitation.

Because Li Yan firmly believed that he would definitely come back!

By the way, before withdrawing, Shuibo Liangshan also recycled the banknotes issued by itself, that is, exchanged gold and silver for the banknotes issued by itself.

Shuibo Liangshan’s move greatly guaranteed the value of the banknotes it issued, which in turn made the world more aware of the derivative coins issued by Shuibo Liangshan.

After Hu Yanqing and other Shuibo Liangshan personnel who were finally staying in Yanjing withdrew, the Taishi, the chief of the Privy Council, Tong Guan and Shaofu, the envoy of Xuanfu on the North East Road of Shaanxi Province, the Jiedu envoy of Zhenhai, and the deputy envoy of Xuanfu on the East Road of Hebei Province, Cai Yau led the main force of the Song army to hold high the banners, beat the drums and blow the sheng, and came to the city of Yanjing in a mighty way.

The people in Yanjing City, holding incense sticks in their hands, welcomed the Song army to march forward, and cheered loudly: "The Khitan is destroyed, and the waters and Liangshan return to the country. The king's division enters the city and sees the sun again."

In Yanjing City, everyone congratulated each other, and every family was in high spirits.

Recovering Yanjing finally realized the century-old dream of the emperor of the Song Dynasty.

but--

When Tong Guan entered the city, a small incident happened, which seemed to have an ominous meaning.

At that time, a small number of Song troops had already entered Yanjing.

The next day, Tong Guan, Cai You and other officials from the Xuanfu Department, as well as Wang Anzhong, Zhan Du and other officials from Yanshan Prefecture, began to advance towards Yanjing.

For the sake of safety, Tong Guan ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead the Changsheng Army as the vanguard and walk in the forefront.

The Song Army in the city saw the Changsheng Army coming towards Yanjing, and thought it was the Jin soldiers or the remnants of the Liao Kingdom who took the opportunity to rob Yanjing-this is not to blame for the misunderstanding of the Song Army in Yanjing City, because the Changsheng Army still wears Zuozhen uniforms. He didn't change into the uniform of the Song Army, so he looked a lot like the Liao Army and the Jin Army.

As a result, the Song army "abandoned the army and fled, causing great disturbance in the camp."

Pharmacist Guo hurriedly sent someone to explain it, and it was only after he asked for help.

This incident also shows that there is a fear of the Liao army and the Jin army in the Song army.

In any case, both Tong Guan and Cai You have led the army into Yanjing City, which means that Yandi has recovered.

however--

Before Tong Guan, Cai You and others could celebrate the recovery of Yandi, the golden envoy arrived.

The envoys sent by the Kingdom of Jin this time are Salumu and Gao Qingyi.

They were ordered by Wanyan Aguda to hand over the copy of the contract signed by Song and Jin to the Xuanfu Department.

Seeing this contract, Tong Guan, Cai You and others felt a headache.

According to this contract, the money and goods of the officials in Yandi, the Xi, Khitan, and Bohai clansmen in Yandi, and the three prefectures of Ping, Ying, and Luan belong to the Kingdom of Jin. In addition, the taxes in Yandi also belong to the Kingdom of Jin. Even if there are old coins negotiated before, they must also be given to Jin Guo in full.

This is what the two countries agreed upon at the beginning.

Furthermore, without the threat of the Jin army, it would be impossible for Li Yan to give Yan Yun to the Song State, which cannot be obliterated.

More importantly, Jin Guo's 15 troops are still outside Songting Pass and Yu Pass. If Jin Guo is not satisfied, the Jin army may attack Songting Pass and Yu Pass tomorrow, and then go south.

The previous two major defeats had made the Song army fear the Liao army from top to bottom, and the Jin army was still a powerful presence that defeated the Liao army again and again, and the soldiers of the Song army did not dare to provoke them. , all do not want to conflict with Jin Jun.

Based on this, Tong Guan and others discussed and finally decided to implement the previously signed treaty.

Of course, the payment is not completely in accordance with the previous agreement.

For example, the money and goods of the officials in Yandi cannot be given to Jin Guo——Most of the officials in Yandi left with Li Yan, and a small part surrendered to Song State. Golden State.

Therefore, this part can only be discounted.

The Xi, Khitan, Bohai and other tribes were not Han Chinese, and Tong Guan and others were worried about how to deal with them. Since Jin Guo wanted them, they might as well give them all to Jin Guo.

The three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying are currently still in the hands of Zhang Jue, the deputy governor of Pingzhou Road in the Liao Kingdom, so they can be pushed out.

The taxes and yearly coins in Yandi are also a matter of money, give.

In short, according to Zhao Ji's instructions, the problem that money can solve is not a problem for Da Song.

Seeing that the king and ministers of the Song Dynasty were so easy to talk to, the Jin envoy proposed a condition that the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty could not agree to anyway-demanding the Ever Victorious Army.

At the beginning, Song and Jin agreed that all households outside Songting Pass and Yuguan would be owned by the State of Jin.

The more than [-] members of Chang Sheng's army from Guo Yaoshi and down were originally from Liaodong, so they should all be repatriated.

Tong Guan was very angry at this unreasonable request from the Jinren.

Tong Guan said to the left and right: "The Changsheng Army and Guo Yaoshi have surrendered to our court long ago, and they have been appointed officials according to their merits. How can they be repatriated?"

But everyone in the Song Kingdom was afraid of the Jin people going south, and they dared not offend the Jin people.

In the end, Li Zongzhen made a suggestion to Tong Guan: "Is it possible to replace the Changsheng Army with the Yan people? If it is feasible, then not only the Changsheng Army will still be my army, but also the land and property of the Yan people will be exchanged." Let the Ever Victorious Army run their own business, and don’t need the state to allocate money and food to support the Ever Victorious Army, this will kill two birds with one stone.”

After hearing this, Tong Guan and others felt that this suggestion was good, so they immediately wrote a memorial and submitted it to the court.

After receiving Tong Guan's report, Zhao Ji immediately convened an emergency meeting with Wang Fu and other ministers, and finally agreed to Xuan Fusi's proposal to replace the Changsheng Army with Yan people.

After receiving Zhao Ji's instructions, Tong Guan sent Zhao Liangsi to negotiate with the Jin people.

The reason why the Jin people came to blackmail the Song State this time, apart from really wanting to get some benefits from the Song State, there are two reasons-the first reason is that the Jin people are so angry that they dispatched an army of 15, and they went to all sides to contact each other. As a result, the Song State gained all the benefits. The second reason is that Jin was popular with the Song State and named Li Yan the King of Liaodong. He deliberately provoked the relationship between the Jin State and Shuibo Liangshan, leaving countless troubles for the future.

At present, the Kingdom of Jin wanted to capture Emperor Tianzuo to prevent the resurgence of the Liao Kingdom, and also wanted to capture Xiao Qian, who had already established the country, and also guarded against Liangshan, which was about to return to the peninsula. In fact, he didn't have the energy to start a war with the Song Kingdom.

Therefore, even though the Jin people hated Song State very much, they could only accept it as soon as it was good.

Therefore, the Jin people quickly agreed to the compromise method proposed by the Xuanfu Division, which is to use the Yan people to resist the Changsheng army.

The Jinren (actually the original Liaochen) quickly calculated that there were more than 150 households with a family property of more than [-] guan in the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Yanjing, and these [-] households were used to reach the Changsheng Army.

The wealthy households in Yandi were very reluctant when they heard that the Jin people wanted to move them to the Kingdom of Jin, because the Kingdom of Jin was located outside the customs, a remote area, and the journey was difficult and long.

pity!

How could they, the people, change the will of the two great powers of the Jin and Song Dynasties?
Soon, Song Jun cooperated with the Jin people to organize the rich households in Yandi to withdraw from Yandi.

Yandi complained.

Seeing this, the Jin people explained to the Yan people: "It is not our intention to move you eastward, it is a suggestion made by the Song Dynasty. They want to keep the Ever-Victorious Army, and they want to use your fields and houses to support the Ever-Victorious Army."

After hearing this explanation, those Yan people who lost their family property and hometown all felt resentment towards Song State.
