The famous book tour starting from the Red House

Chapter 517
Yelu Dashi's escape immediately caused a chain reaction.

When the Liao people did not come to rescue the soldiers, Wanyan Aguda was at a loss and had no choice but to order the scouts to expand the scope of investigation again and again, for fear that the Liao people might have some conspiracy.

But who would have thought that after a few days, the scouts sent back a message saying that no enemy troops were found, and even the garrison where the Liao people haunted from time to time before was now empty.

By this time, Wanyan Aguda still didn't know where, the Liao people must have given up the army that was besieged by them, he scolded Yelu Yanxi for being cowardly like a mouse, and at the same time ordered to wipe out the besieged Liao army.

After the Liao army was settled, another two days passed, when Wanyan Aguda was considering the next strategy, Wanyan Zongbi came to report,

"Father, my son has learned two things from the Khitan cub, and I have come here to report to Father."

"Come and listen."

"The first thing is that before we came, Yelu Yanxi left his army and fled to the vicinity of the Great Wall, planning to escape into the cloud land in the pass and seek Mu Xu's protection.

The second thing is that the Liao army originally had more than [-] people. Except for the [-] people who were annihilated by us, the other [-] people were led by Yelu Dashi to meet the Song army. "

After Wanyan Agu inquired about his son's words, he immediately frowned and said, "If the Liao army who came from the north was found to be true when we visited the horse a few days ago, then the Song army seems to be in danger. This Yelu Dashi is a character."

Then he asked, "Then what's the situation with Mu Xu, but the child of Diebo was sent as an envoy earlier?"

Thinking of his dead son, Wanyan Zongbi felt a pain in his heart, and replied, "Father Huang Mingjian, it is this person."

Wanyan Aguda wondered, "You can find out why this person wants to protect the Liao people?"

"To let the emperor know that it is because Yelu Yanxi married his daughter to Mu Xu, and the two are now Weng-in-law."

"Hmph, Yelu Yanxi, that bastard, only has the ability to sell girls for glory!"

Even though Yelu Yanxi has become a bereaved dog, Wanyan Aguda still has no good words when he mentions this guy.

Of course Wanyan Zongbi knew about the grievances between his father and Yelu Yanxi, so he asked, "Do you want to go south to attack Yundi and force Mu Xu to hand him over?"

"Don't worry, we don't know much about this Mu Xu, so don't act rashly."

Although Wanyan Aguda wished he could capture Yelu Yanxi and kneel at his knees sooner, the prudent habits he had developed over the years reminded him not to fight unsure battles casually.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Send an envoy to send a letter to Song to ask about the situation of their army. By the way, let the emperor of his family deliver an edict to Mu Xu, ordering him to hand over Yelu Yanxi."

Wanyan Zongbi was puzzled and said, "Father, although Mu Xu is a Song official, he is actually a prince of one party. Judging from his ability to secretly marry the Liao princess without Song's consent, this person may not be able to Obey the order of the emperor of Song Dynasty."

"How can I not think of this? But it is precisely because of this that I want to act like this. If not, how can I bargain with Song Guo?"

Wanyan Aguda waved his hand, signaling to his son not to make a fuss, and then explained to his son, "Originally, according to our covenant with the Song State, after this battle, we will give them the future state, and then help them wipe out the Liao people who are entrenched in Pingzhou remnants.

But you have also seen that the Song army did not help at all in this battle, but because of them, Nayelu Dashi led the troops away.In this case, if we continue to act according to the covenant, our Kingdom of Jin will suffer too much! "

Wanyan Zongbi said disapprovingly, "Yi'erchen said that Song people have always been weak, and even Liao people can beat them, why bother to ask them to cooperate, it's a waste of time."

"What do you know, kid? Do you think that the cooperation with the State of Song is really to deal with the Liao people?"

Wanyan Zongbi was taken aback for a moment, and hurriedly asked for advice, "I also ask Father to give me some advice."

Facing the question of the fourth son, Wanyan Aguda shook his head and laughed,

"Communications between countries not only depend on strength, but also on prestige. Not long after the founding of Dajin, apart from the Liao people who were afraid of being beaten and admitted us, who else would recognize the brand of Dajin?
It is for this reason that I insist on forming an alliance with Song Guoguo.It is only because once we have the recognition of Song, the Central Plains country, such as Xixia, Tubo and other countries, we will not underestimate us, and we will establish normal diplomatic relations with them, and it will be a matter of course. "

If Mu Xu was present at this time, he would definitely applaud Wanyan Aguda. This person is indeed the most outstanding politician and military strategist of this era. If someone really treats him as a barbarian, it would be a big mistake.

Compared with Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Wu Qimai, who succeeded him, was far behind. Although Jin Kingdom reached its peak in his hands, it completely destroyed Liao Kingdom and Northern Song Dynasty, and suppressed Xixia and Northern Song Dynasty. Countries such as the Southern Song Dynasty, as well as surrounding tribes such as Mongolia, could not hold their heads up.

But there is one thing to say, Wanyan Wu's begging style is more like a tribal chief than a king of a country.

For example, after the Kingdom of Jin destroyed the Liao and Song Dynasties, the actions of the royal families of the two countries were simply barbarian behaviors, without any demeanor of a big country.

The Mongols and Manchurians who later ruled the Central Plains all knew that they wanted to find a member of the former royal family to confer a title, offer up delicious food and drink, and show it to the world as a memorial archway.

But how did the Jurchens do it?These barbarians do not have the demeanor of a victor at all. They forced the monarchs of the two countries to perform sheep-raising rituals, and even made the captured concubines and women bare their breasts in public. If they were dissatisfied, they would be thrown into the laundry bureau and other teaching workshops. Their behavior is despicable , is simply outrageous.

Wanyan Wu Qimai and the others didn't know that, as the saying goes, the way of heaven is reincarnation, and the heavens spared no one, because they were too bottomless at the beginning, causing future generations to pay off the debts of their ancestors.

The time has come to the end of the Kingdom of Jin. With the rise of the Mongols, the situation in the world seems to have gone through a cycle. Except for the role of the Southern Song Dynasty that has not changed, the relationship between the Kingdom of Jin and Mongolia is like that of the Liao Kingdom and the Kingdom of Jin in the past. Weak but tuned up.

Especially in 1206 A.D., Han Tuozhou launched the Kaixi Northern Expedition, and the Song army once regained the Huaibei area. After seeing this, Genghis Khan led his army to launch the Mongolian-Golden War in 1211 A.D., and defeated the prime minister Wanyan Chengyu and the general Duji Sizhong in Yehuling. The [-] gold army.

At this time, everyone can see that the best way out for the Kingdom of Jin is to negotiate a peace with the Southern Song Dynasty and join hands to resist Mongolia's southward movement.

However, because of the humiliation that Wanyan Wu Qimai and others inflicted on the Song Dynasty royal family, the Southern Song Dynasty court knew that cooperating with Mongolia was just like cooperating with the Kingdom of Jin, but it still chose to form an alliance with Mongolia and vowed revenge avenge.

In the end, in 1230 A.D., the two countries fought against gold in three ways. The latter was in danger at that time, and only the remnant forces remained to resist.

Seeing that Bianzhou was trapped, Jin Aizong moved the capital to Guide Mansion, and appointed Cui Li as the general to guard Bianzhou.The latter knew that his resistance was just a drop in the bucket, and he chose to surrender not long after.When Jin Aizong heard the news, he hanged himself immediately.

After the death of Jin Aizong, the two countries still did not give up. They massacred cities on the land of Jin Kingdom, and only about [-] of the [-] million Jurchens were killed. They also split Jin Aizong's body in half and took them back. Give credit to your own emperor.

It can be said that the people who have subjugated the country throughout the ages, if the ending is miserable, there is no one who has left the Kingdom of Jin.

But who is to blame for this? It's nothing more than tit for tat.Sowing evil causes evil results, if Wanyan Wu Qimai and others hadn't done everything in the past, their descendants would not have ended up like that.

Closer to home, and after Yan Zongbi heard these words, he finally understood the painstaking efforts of his father Wanyan Agu, he quickly expressed his acceptance, and then asked, "Father, what should we do next? Want to withdraw troops back to Liaodong?"

After thinking for a long time, Wanyan Aguda said, "Let's talk later, we can send more people to search around to see if we can find the remnants of the Liao people."

After finishing speaking, he suddenly sighed, "My body is getting heavier and heavier these days, and I am afraid that my destiny has come. So before I die, I hope to end the Liao Kingdom with my own hands and draw a happy ending for my life."

Hearing his father's ominous words, Wanyan Zongbi's eyes turned red immediately, and he hastily tried to comfort him, "Father is a great hero and hero of our Jurchens, who is blessed by the gods of our ancestors. My son believes that your health will not be as bad as possible. It will get better."

"Okay, don't act like a child! I don't need you to comfort me, just follow my orders."

……

At dusk, Juyongguan is closed.

Looking at the dim yellow field in the distance, Mu Xu asked Sun Yi beside him, "You mean that part of the Song army fled to Dushikou, where do you want to enter?"

Sun Yi clasped his fists and replied, "Returning to the envoy, General Zhe sent someone to say so. In addition, envoys from the Liao people also came. Yelu Yanxi asked us to abide by the covenant and let them go." Come in and escape."

"Hey, this really came together! Reply to Zhe Yanwen and ask him to let Yelu Yanxi and his party enter the customs. Except for a hundred guards, the rest of the accompanying soldiers must surrender their weapons and accept our surveillance. As for the Song army, How many people did they come, but who is their leader?"

Sun Yi replied with a strange look on his face, "Two troops from the Song Army came, about five thousand men, the leading generals, one is Song Jiang, and the other is Han Shizhong."

Mu Xu's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "I don't want to be an old acquaintance, it seems that I have to go there myself."

Sun Yi said anxiously, "If the envoy leaves, what should Xiao Qian and others do?"

Mu Xu murmured, "If Xiao Qian was a smart person, he shouldn't have provoked me at this time. But he had to guard against it. Let's do this. I'll send an order to transfer another [-] troops from Confucian State to you. In this way, Juyongguan will have [-] defenders, enough to deal with the enemy's invasion."

"Yes, my subordinates will never let the enemy step on the pass."

Mu Xu walked down towards Guan with his hands behind his back, and confessed, "I can rest assured of General Sun's ability. After I leave, the general will pay more attention to the situation in Yandi besides guarding Juyong Pass."

Sun Yi responded, "The general will know what to do, so you can rest assured."

After thinking for a while, he asked curiously, "Master, do you think the Song Dynasty court knew about the failure of the Daobei expedition and the changes in Yandi?"

Mu Xu pondered for a while, then replied, "Yandi is close to Xiongzhou and other important northern towns, so the imperial court should have known about it. However, the Northern Expeditionary Army was blocked by Yandi, so it may be that they don't know anything about it."

Speaking of this, he thought to himself, "I'm still a Song minister anyway, so I should inform the imperial court about this matter."

Sun Yi smiled at first, and then sighed, "Ah, when Mo Jiang accompanied Tong Guan to conquer Xixia in his early years, he once worked with Xin Xingzong, and at that time he found that he relied on Tong Guan's power, had eyes for everyone, and also liked to be jealous of talents.

It's not good for the imperial court to use anyone, but they choose to use this person. It really deserves such a defeat. It's just a pity that those ordinary soldiers, who were implicated by this guy, lost their lives in vain. "

Mu Xu had a different opinion on this, "There is indeed a problem with the imperial court's employment, but in the final analysis it is because the matter of Yandi was not handled properly. In just a short period of time, it has completely lost the hearts of the people governing there. Let Xiao Qian get it, I really don't know what to say."

Sun Yi echoed a few words casually, then tested Mu Xu's tone and said, "Since that's the case, why don't we take advantage of Xiao Qian and Zhang Jue's unsteady footing and take the Land of Yan into our hands?"

"But the brothers below have an opinion?"

"Your Majesty's vision is very clear. General Zhang Qing and the others have entrusted General Mo to ask on their behalf. When will they be able to show their skills?"

Mu Xu smiled and shook his head, "Tell them that there will be opportunities for them to make contributions in the future, so don't worry, it's not the time to take Yandi yet."

After finishing speaking, he didn't explain too much anymore, and took his personal guards to Dushikou that day and night.

When they got there, it was already the morning of the third day, and the soldiers in charge of the patrol saw Mu Xushuai's flag and hurriedly reported it.

When Zhe Yanwen heard that Mu Xu was coming, he didn't dare to neglect, so he quickly ordered the people's congress to open and close the door, and led people to welcome him out.

After seeing Zhe Yanwen for two times, Mu Xu looked Zhe Yanwen up and down, and nodded in satisfaction, "Yanwen looks more like a general now, how is it, are you still used to it here?"

Zhe Yanwen invited Mu Xu to enter the pass, and replied, "I'm really not used to it. When I was in Fuzhou in the past, I had to fight the Xixia people every three days, but I didn't know that I was doing nothing all day when I came here. .”

Mu Xu smiled and said, "General Sun told me the day before yesterday that the brothers below were all very quiet and eager to move. I thought it was just an example, but I didn't expect Yanwen to want to fight like this."

"Hey, it's not that Shijun doesn't know that our children of the Zhe family have always regarded the battlefield as their home. We have long been used to it, and we can't change it in a while."

After hearing this, Mu Xu praised the family tradition, and then changed the topic, "I asked you to write to your father earlier, how did he reply?"

Zhe Yanwen hesitated for a while, and said with some embarrassment, "My father agrees in principle to completely submit to the envoy, that is..."

Mu Xu was overjoyed, and couldn't wait to say, "What are the conditions of Mr. Zhefu, you just say it, don't be so hesitant!"

Provoked by Mu Xu, Zhe Yanwen had no choice but to grit his teeth and said, "My father means that he hopes to betroth the second uncle's daughter Yuemei to the envoy, and the two families will become good friends of Qin and Jin."

Mu Xu suddenly realized, he wondered why Zhe Yanwen brought his clan sister with him when he first came to work under his account, it turned out that the Zhe family had this idea at that time.

Thinking about Zhe Yuemei's appearance and personality, Mu Xu secretly complained in his heart, "This girl is as beautiful as she is, but she is also a womanizer. If I marry her again, I will have four daughters in my back house." General."

Having said that, Mu Xu also knows that taking a Zheyue beauty in exchange for Zhejia's service, no matter how you look at it, it is a business that makes money without losing money, and a fool would not do it.

Immediately said, "I have always admired General Zhe Keshi as a man, but it is a pity that he died young, so I was lucky to be able to marry his daughter. That is my wish. You can tell your father that I agree. "

Zhe Yanwen was overjoyed and said, "The general will send someone back today to send a letter to his father to send Yuemei to Yunzhou. With this relationship, our Zhe family will definitely follow the lead of the king in the future and never betray! "
