  Chapter 187: Conferred title, King Yan

More than a month has passed.

Large areas of land and cities in eastern Xixia have fallen into Yin Ga's hands.

At the same time, Xixia general Li Xingsu was captured alive.

It was clear that Xingqing Prefecture was less than a hundred miles away, but after Yin Gao captured Xuanhua Prefecture, Xiliang Prefecture, and Xiazhou City one after another, he surrounded Xingqing and Xiping Prefectures, but did not attack immediately.

Instead, they kept a watchful eye, and at the same time mobilized 100,000 troops from the land of Yanyun to continue their attack on the western part of Xixia, and soon reached the Gua and Sha states.

At this point, most of Xixia, except Xingqing and Xiping Prefectures, were all under the control of Yan Yun's army.

As for Xixia, there are now less than 100,000 soldiers and horses left, but they are surrounded and cannot get out.

On the other side, the Jurchen clan did not disappoint Yin Lao.

They quickly captured the Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, Liao Kingdom, and then went all the way north to capture Jin and Lai Prefectures in the Liao Kingdom. Now they have arrived at Dading Prefecture in the capital of Liao Dynasty.

Seeing that the Liao Kingdom could no longer defend themselves, they originally wanted to ask Bianjing for help, but when they looked back, they thought, eh? !

How did Yan Yun's army reach Xixia territory?

So fierce!

Didn't it mean that Yin Gao was dead?
  Thinking of this, he sent another envoy to Youzhou.

As a result, the two messengers returned different results.

Bianjing failed to send troops because the people's livelihood was in decline and the troops were insufficient.

There is good news in Youzhou. After hearing that Prince Fanyang made a big move, he immediately decided to send 200,000 troops to fight against the Jin Dynasty and save the Liao Dynasty.

When the Liao Kingdom heard this, the whole country was shocked and cheered.

You must know that the true strength of Yin Zhang's army has to be doubled in number of troops.

On the Xixia side, Yin Ga accelerated his progress and began to approach Xingqing Mansion and Xiping Mansion.

I originally thought that there would be a bloody battle with the remaining Xixia army, but it turned out that the powerful officials in Xixia did not hide their lies. Before the Yanyun army came to the city, they surrendered with the young emperor Li Liangzuo.

In just a few days, Yin Zhang captured Xingqing and Xiping Prefectures without spending a single soldier.

At this point, Xixia was destroyed.

This news spread to the Song Dynasty, and the whole country was shocked.

Since Yin Gao left Bianjing, his shadow has been reflected in basically all major events in the world, or he is the one who promoted the changes. He often talks about where the war was fought and where the battle was fought. This kind of topic is absolutely inseparable from " Three words: "King Fanyang".

……

"Second brother Gu, I think the edict from Bianjing will be delivered soon. Once you get the new seal, you can go north to Liao, right?"

In Youzhou, during the former Liao Dynasty's trip to Nanjing, Yin Gezheng and Gu Tingye cooked wine to enjoy the spring.

"You're quite good at it."

Gu Tingye took a sip of hot wine, shook his head and said with a smile, "With just a few words, he got a 'Jun Gong' and a 'One-Word King' title from Bianjing."

In private, he did not call Yin Gao "Your Highness", and the two of them were just like usual.

"That is not a means, but what we deserve. From the moment I regain the Yanyun Sixteenth Prefecture, I should be the upright 'King of Yan', not a Laoshizi County King, but I don't care about this. It’s just you, if you take Xixia this time, of course you should be rewarded based on your merits.”

Yin Gao also smiled.

"Say it like I care."

Gu Tingye laughed and cursed, then asked, "By the way, the little emperor of Xixia, do you really plan to send him to Bianjing?"

Yin Lao replied: "Yes, what should I keep him for? The old Zhao family likes this matter, so we will give it to him. Otherwise, how do you think I got it from our 'new official'?" To the two titles of 'Jun Gong' and 'King of Yan'?" "But... if they borrow the name of the young emperor and summon the old troops, then..." Gu Tingye was a little worried.

But Yin Gao waved his hand and said: "It doesn't matter, I will send people to keep an eye on them, and... has Brother Gu ever heard of 'Songhua'?"

"Song Hua?"

Gu Tingye was stunned for a moment, then seemed to think of something, and his eyes lit up, "You mean?!"

Yin Gao smiled and said: "You will know when the time comes. In short, we will fight if you dare to show up. In addition, we will not only make Xixia's land ours, but also make their subjects ours." subjects.”

Gu Tingye didn't seem to understand, but he was very curious about how Yin Gao would accomplish this.

Half a month later.

The envoy sent from Bianjing was Yin Gao's uncle, Sheng Changbai of the Sheng family, who was now a fifth-rank official in the imperial court.

"My sect...conferred the title of Prince Yin Gao of Fanyang County as King of Yan...to patrol Liang, Gua, Sha...and other states..."

"My subordinates... made Ningyuan Marquis Gu Tingye the Duke of Changshan County and the general of the Northern Conquest..."

Just recite the imperial edict.

Sheng Changbai looked at the two high-spirited people from the past in front of him. One of them was a good friend he had made since childhood, and the other was even his brother-in-law...

two!

The brothers-in-law of two sisters are the same person!

Ma De, when she thought of this, Sheng Changbai became angry.

If it had been in the past, he would have denounced the two men in front of him as traitors and traitors, who left Bianjing privately without orders, relied on their own troops, separated themselves from one side, and did not listen to the announcement!
  Wouldn't this kind of behavior not disturb the officials and thieves?

But he couldn't speak now. There were many words stuck in his throat, and only the contradiction in his eyes remained.

At the same time, he was also very confused.

Because of the word "Yanwang" written by Yin Lao, he was not very calm.

Generally speaking, in the Song Dynasty, one-character king was only reserved for heirs, that is, princes, princes, etc. of the clan, but foreign surnames were basically unheard of.

Even if Yin Gao regained the sixteen states of Yanyun, he only named "Fanyang Commandery Prince". This was in accordance with Taizu's legacy. However, Taizu's legacy did not mention what king he would grant, so the four "Fanyang Commandery Prince" This word is already quite satisfactory.

Neither disobeying the rules nor being harsh.

At that time, Zhao Zongquan proposed to give Yin Ga the title of "King of Yan"... Oh, of course, this was not Zhao Zongquan's own wish.

He was completely PUAed by Yin Gao.

Yin Ga made a deal with Xixia and the young emperor of Xixia, saying that it was just a title. If it was given, maybe there would be a chance to restore the glory of the Tang Dynasty and leave a strong mark in the history books?
  Who doesn't want to be Emperor Qin, Emperor Wu of Han, Emperor Zong of Tang, Song Dynasty...that's all.

Zhao Zongquan is no exception. Although he is an emperor, he is also a mortal.

In addition, Yin Gao used some tricks, and many officials in the court spoke on his behalf.

It was already a sure thing, but many sober veterans in the court, such as Fu Bi and Han Qi, were firmly opposed to the title of "King of Yan". In this way, Yin Kuo would separate his kingdom, or even change the world, and the obstacles would be Fewer and fewer.

Therefore, they argued hard in the court, causing considerable turmoil several times.

But in the end, it still couldn't resist Zhao Zongquan's desire to become the emperor of the ages.

He comforted himself in his heart, just like Yin Lao said, it was just a title, and it didn't cost anything.

He made Yin Gao the Queen of Yan, and also made Gu Tingye, who had been labeled "Two and Five Sons" in his heart, as the Duke of Changshan County, hereditary, and the title of General of Zhengbei University.
