The famous book tour starting from the Red House

After talking about Yan Aguda's uncomfortable feeling, after meeting with Mu Xu, he fell ill on the day he returned to the camp, and had nightmares for several days in a row.

Seeing this situation, Wanyan Wu Qimai and others didn't dare to withdraw their troops, so they had to issue a death order. While asking the witch doctor to treat Wanyan Aguda with all his heart, they also prepared for the attack of the Dingxiang army.

Another five or six days passed like this, Wanyan Aguda suddenly woke up in the middle of the night, and said to the left and right, "I have been away from Shangjing for a few days, it is time to go home!"

When everyone heard this, their hearts skipped a beat, a sense of ominousness rose in their minds, and they couldn't bear to persuade them, so they endured their grief and left the camp overnight.

On the way, due to Wanyan Aguda's erratic condition and heavy snowfall, it was already January of the following year when Jin Jun returned to Dading Mansion.

At this time, Wanyan Aguda was already skinny and skinny after being tortured by illness.

Seeing that his wise and powerful elder brother has become like this, but he still insisted on going, Wanyan Wu begged and led a group of nephews, weeping and praying, "It's freezing cold, brother, why don't you stay in Dading Mansion for a few days. When everything recovers next spring, it’s not too late to start driving again!”

Wanyan Aguda refused, "No, I'm afraid I won't be able to wait until then."

Then, he closed his eyes, and said softly, "You all step back, pass on my will, and return the capital tomorrow."

Wanyan Wu begged to buy more and wanted to persuade him again, but was held back by the guard of Dading Mansion behind him, his adoptive mother and younger brother Wanyan Yanmu. Seeing him shaking his head slightly, he sighed deeply and had to lead the crowd to retreat , according to Wanyan Agu's instructions.

Afterwards, the team hurried all the way, but the snowy road was difficult, and they did not rush back to Shangjing.When the team arrived in Changchun Prefecture, Wanyan Aguda showed signs of returning to life, and he himself was well aware of this, so he immediately summoned everyone to ask for funeral arrangements.

Looking at the sad-looking brothers and nephews, Wenwen generals, Wanyan Aguda calmed down and comforted everyone, "I can bring our Jurchens to rise in this life, and I will no longer be oppressed by the Khitans. Regrettably, gentlemen, there is no need to be sad."

Then, he called Wanyan Wu Qimai to him, and said softly, "To this day, Yelu Yanxi has lost all his land and subjects, and fled to Yundi to avoid disaster. on heart.

In the Southern Dynasties, Zhao Ji was frivolous and shapeless. He didn't look like a gentleman.Li Qianshun of Xixia is just like a middle-aged man, he is more than conservative, but not aggressive enough, so he is not to be feared.

The only one to worry about is Yundi Mu Xuye.Although this person is young, he is capable in dealing with things. Judging from his past, he knows how to use people well, and can also grasp the general trend of the world. I am afraid that he will be a strong enemy of our Jin Kingdom in the future, so we must guard against it! "

Speaking of this, Wanyan Aguda was already out of breath, and coughed loudly.

Seeing this, Wanyan Wu Qimai hurriedly served Wanyan Aguda himself, drank a bowl of ginseng soup, and stroked his back. It took him a while to calm down, and continued,
"It's a pity that there is no holiday in the sky. If not, I will definitely get rid of this person and save our Jin country from future troubles. Now I can only leave it to you. You must remember that before you get rid of Mu Xu, you must not invade south." Song, otherwise you will have to make a wedding dress for this person, remember, remember!"

Although Wanyan Wu Qimai felt that his elder brother made a big fuss and looked too high on Mu Xu, but in order to let his elder brother leave with peace of mind, he solemnly agreed to come down and said that he would definitely keep it in mind.

Seeing this, Wanyan Aguda finally vented his breath, feeling exhausted, he couldn't help but close his eyes again and fell into a coma.

That night, Wanyan Aguda passed away in his sleep, marking the end of his glorious life at the age of fifty-six.

"Golden History" evaluates Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda in this way: Taizu Yingmo Ruilue, open-minded and magnanimous, knows people well, and uses them happily.Jin has been in the world for a hundred and nine years. In the few years of Taizu, there is no strategy left, no soldiers left, and the great cause is determined and passed on to his descendants.

"Golden History" was not compiled by the Jurchens themselves, but written by the Mongols of later generations.

Given the hatred between the Mongols and the Jurchens, Wanyan Agu can be given such a high evaluation, and the whole article is full of praise, which shows that as a generation of heroes, he really deserves his name.

With the death of Wanyan Aguda, the world pattern changed drastically.

Take the political situation of the Kingdom of Jin as an example. If Wanyan Aguda is still alive, the Kingdom of Jin will inevitably go south to invade the Song Dynasty in the end, but at least the time will be delayed a lot, and it will not choose to blatantly tear it apart when there is still an alliance with the Song Dynasty. shameless.

But it is not the case if Wanyan Wu begs to buy to succeed him. Although the words of Taizu's dying words are still in his ears, the greedy eyes of all the high-level officials in the Kingdom of Jin are still fixed on the fat land in the pass.

The reason for this is simple.

For one thing, Wanyan Wu Qimai didn't take Mu Xu seriously, and he also knew that his position as the emperor would not be convincing to the public, so he wanted to establish a career far surpassing that of his elder brother, in an attempt to suppress domestic opposition.

Secondly, the powerful faction headed by the Wanyan Zonghan brothers had long coveted the prosperous Central Plains, but now without the restraint of their father, they all geared up and prepared to lead their troops south to plunder.

It can be said that leaving Wanyan Aguda's last words behind was not the idea of ​​one person, but the decision of the entire Jin Guo high-level group.

It can only be said that robbers are always robbers, no matter how gorgeous their coats are, they cannot conceal their inner greed and short-sightedness.

Doesn't Wanyan Aguda not want to rule the Central Plains?The answer is of course no, so why didn't he go south when he was alive, the reason is actually very simple.

That's because Wanyan Agu's heart and soul is to build the Jin Kingdom into a regular country, so he doesn't want to break the alliance easily, for fear that it will affect the reputation of the Jin Kingdom as a big country.

It's a pity that his painstaking efforts were not understood by his brothers and nephews. Before his bones were still cold, these people had already started to make plans to invade the Song Dynasty in the south.

And it was so hard to die, the Song Dynasty also gave the Jin Kingdom an excuse to send troops.

It turned out that it was Tong Guan who followed Zhao Ji's order. During the second northern expedition to Yandi, although he learned the previous lesson, he chose the strategy of step by step, steady and steady.

However, due to the continuous use of troops by the Song Dynasty, and the fact that the Western Army was the main force several times, these troops have long been exhausted. In addition, the court defaulted on their military salaries for no reason, which made the soldiers have no fighting spirit.

In this way, what was supposed to be a decisive battle was fought by Tong Guansheng into a stalemate, which made the Song Dynasty lose all face.

Just when Zhao Ji was worried about the war in the north and hesitated to call up the Dingxiang Army, the Kingdom of Jin sent envoys to the court again, proposing to fulfill the previous covenant and send troops to attack the three prefectures of Luan, Ping and Ying to share the pressure for the Song Dynasty.

Faced with this kindness that suddenly came to their door, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty were not completely without doubts. People like Zheng Juzhong, Li Gang, Zhao Ding and others said that they were courteous for nothing.

However, Li Bangyan and Cai You held the opposite opinion. They believed that they could agree, and the reason they gave was that the Kingdom of Jin was also a big country, so they would not lose their trust because of this. After all, they also wanted something.

Yes, of course Jin Guo put forward conditions.Jin envoy Gao Qingyi vowed, "I, Dajin, is willing to send troops this time. One is because I think of the good relations between the two countries, and I don't want to betray the alliance. The other is to wipe out the remaining forces of the Liao Kingdom and comfort my emperor Taizu." Heroic Spirit."

In order to increase his conviction, Gao Qingyi also proposed that after the matter is completed, the noble stomachs of the Liao Kingdom, such as Xiao Qian, Zhang Jue, and Xiao Fengxian, should be handed over to the Jin Kingdom for disposal. Liaodong outside the customs.

It was this last statement that completely moved Zhao Ji, who was already a little excited, and made him think that Jin Guo came here to plunder the population and wealth, so he resolutely agreed to Jin Guo's proposal despite the dissuasion of the people of insight in the court. About sending troops.

So, in mid-April of the fifth year of Xuanhe, Jin Guobing went south in two ways, with Wanyan Zongbi as the chief general and Wanyan Loushi as his deputy, sending [-] troops to attack Gubeikou.On the other side, with Wanyan Zonghan as the main general and Wanyan's mother as deputy, he led an army of [-] troops, targeting Yuguan, and took the three prefectures of Luanping camp.

Just to deal with the army of the Song Dynasty, Xiao Qian and others have already done their best. How can they stop Jin Guo, the suffering lord of the Liao people?
What's more, the Jin Kingdom dispatched troops very quickly this time, catching Xiao Qian and the others by surprise, so that when the Liao army faced the wolves and tigers of the Jin army, they didn't organize effective resistance at all. .

At such a situation, Xiao Qian knew in his heart that it was pointless to choose to entangle with the Song army any longer, so he made a decisive decision to retreat one day and night, and fled all the way back to Yanjing.

After returning to Yanjing, Xiao Qian immediately called his sister Xiao Puxian and Zhang Jue to discuss the way out with them.

Xiao Fengxian, no matter how tough she usually is, she is still a woman after all, when she heard the bad news, she immediately panicked and had no idea.

On the contrary, Zhang Juedao said, "The Jin people are cruel and ruthless. Every time they capture a city, they must plunder the local people as slaves to enrich their capital. I am an envoy of the Liaoxing Army. How can I sit back and watch the people under my rule suffer such a catastrophe?" No matter what, I will go back to Pingzhou and lead the army to stop the atrocities of the Jin people."

Although what Zhang Jue said was righteous, Xiao Qian understood his selfishness.As for the reason, it is nothing more than Zhang Jue's ancestral home in Pingzhou, and Zhang's family is one of the best in the area. Of course, he is not happy to let his family suffer.

But in the end, Xiao Qian persuaded, "Brother Zhang, as the saying goes, if you keep the green hills, you don't have to worry about running out of firewood. Now the Jin people are powerful and invincible, we should keep our useful bodies, In the future, I will find Jurchen barbarians for revenge!"

Zhang Jue heard something in Xiao Qian's words, and couldn't help asking curiously, "Could it be possible that the king of the Fourth Army has already figured out a way out, can't it be the Song Dynasty?"

Xiao Qian said with a wry smile, "It's okay for others to vote, but I have offended Song Guo a lot this time, if I go rashly, I will die without a whole body."

Speaking of this, thinking that there is no need to hide the matter until now, he simply told the truth, "When Lin Ya Dashi was going west, he suggested that I wait until the end of the mountain and go to Mu Xu. I thought about it. , I feel that it is not a way out, brother, how about going?"

Unexpectedly, after Zhang Jue heard this, he refused without thinking, "Then Mu Xu is just a local governor, how can he stop the Jin people in the future? Besides, don't forget, he is that son-in-law, if other If you want to vent your anger on your father-in-law, don't we wait like sheep going into the mouth of a tiger?"

After all, thinking that Pingzhou was in danger of being overthrown at any time, Zhang Jue didn't bother to waste saliva with Xiao Qian, and after casually wishing him good luck, he hurriedly led his troops straight to Pingzhou.

After Zhang Jue left, Xiao Puxian, who had been silent all the time, said, "Zhang Jue's words may not be unreasonable, why don't we think about it again?"

Xiao Qian said unhappily, "My good sister, the blade is already on her neck, how can there be any more time delay? I know that my sister didn't want to vote for Mu Xu because of the enmity between her third brother and because of Yelu Yanxi. .

But for the current plan, Yundi is our best way out, if we don't go to Mu Xu, we will have to subdue the two kingdoms of Song and Jin.

Let’s talk about Song Guo first, we have already voted once, how can people trust me now?As for the Kingdom of Jin, it doesn’t matter if I don’t mention it, rather than fall into the hands of those barbarians, I would rather end it myself. "

After what Xiao Qian said, Miss Xiao Puxian also remembered what the Jin Kingdom did to the Liao Dynasty's clan when it attacked Liaodong in the past, and immediately shuddered, and hurriedly said, "Well, then go and vote for Mu Xu, I just hope Don't be instigated by Yelu Yanxi to find us bad luck."

Seeing that he had made sense of his sister, Xiao Qian couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief, and comforted him with a smile, "Sister, you can rest assured, that Mu Xu is a hero, and he thought that his purpose of taking in Yelu Yanxi was not only to see the state of Shu. In addition to the princess's face, she might use her status to regain the hearts of our Liao survivors. Therefore, we must be fine when we go."

"Okay, let's split things up. I'll call the family to file a paper. You send your confidants to guard the north gate. We'll leave tonight."

"Yes, brother, let's do it now."

Xiao Qian responded, turned around and walked out, but was stopped by Miss Xiao Puxian, "Wait a minute, you'd better keep this trip secret, don't let the wind leak, or the consequences will be unpredictable."

"That's right, my sister reminded me that my little brother almost broke something!" Xiao Qian stopped, thinking of those two-sided guys in the city, he was startled in vain, and hurriedly nodded solemnly.

The two siblings made a proper plan, and immediately acted vigorously.In the evening of the same day, taking advantage of the dead of night, they quietly took more than a thousand confidants, left the city through the north gate, and went straight to Juyongguan.

At dawn the next day, all the local tyrants in the city waited and waited for Xiao Qian to show up, only then did they realize that something was wrong, and when they found the Liushou Mansion, they found that the building was already empty.

These guys looked at each other for a while, and immediately became flustered, the scene was noisy, and finally Lu Keming, the Patriarch of the Lu family, stood up and suggested, "Everyone, please be safe! Since Xiao Qian ran away, we can't just sit and wait for death, why don't we just do this?" How about opening the city gate and sending people to welcome the Song army?"

"I waited for the rebellion with Xiao Qian before, will the Song Congress liquidate us?" Someone expressed the concerns of most of the people present.

Hearing this, the treacherous and cunning Lu Keming said with a dark smile, "Anyway, Xiao Qian has already escaped, so I will simply put all the responsibility on him. Besides, the law does not blame everyone. If Song Guo wants Yandi to live in peace in the future, he cannot do without him." Ask me to wait for help, I am not afraid that they will dare to liquidate in the future."

"Yes, Patriarch Lu is right!"

"Just do it!"
