Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and others received the letter of approval, and immediately rushed back to Xiongzhou day and night, and reported to Taiwei Tong Guan about the negotiation with the Jin army.Tong Guan learned that Zhao Liangsi was forced to agree to provide food and grass to the Jin army, and thought that he had handled it properly at the moment, and agreed to the matter.

At this time, Wang Anzhong, who was sent by the imperial court to serve as the appeasement envoy of Yanshanfu Road, also rushed to Xiongzhou.Tong Guan called Wang Anzhong, Zhao Liangsi and others together to discuss the affairs of taking over the Yanjing area.

When Zhao Liangsi talked about Jin Guo's insatiable greed and excessive demands, Tong Guan gritted his teeth with hatred, and complained about Jin Guo's Wanyan Agu beating the monarch and his ministers.

Wang Anzhong was ordered to take over the Yanshan Mansion, so he naturally didn't want any more accidents. He advised Tong Guan that the Yidi in the north have always been like this. Fortunately, the negotiations are almost over. At this time, there is no need to dwell on the past. We should send some eloquent people as soon as possible. Let's go to take over Yanshan Mansion together to prevent Jin Guo from making new demands.

After listening to Wang Anzhong's opinion, Tong Guan took it seriously, and immediately ordered the commanders of the Song army, Yao Pingzhong and Kang Sui, to accompany Wang Huan, Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other civil servants to Yanjing to deliver the goods.

After Zhao Liangsi and others arrived in Yanjing, the people of the Kingdom of Jin really demanded that the Song Dynasty return the Songting and Yuguan areas to the Liao people who had fled to the Song Dynasty. .

Because Guo Yaoshi and the [-] ever-victorious troops under his command are all from Liaodong, at this time Liaodong is the territory of the Kingdom of Jin. Return to Liaodong and become a subject of the Kingdom of Jin.

Guo Yaoshi and his ever-victorious army performed military exploits for the Song army in the battle of the Song army against Liao, and have been awarded the post of Tongzhi Yanshan Mansion by the imperial court.Although according to the covenant between the two countries, Jin Guo should ask Guo Yaoshi and other Liaodong people in the Changsheng army. They handed it back to Jin Guo?

Zhao Liangsi, Wang Huan and others all said that they did not dare to make decisions, and they needed to refer this matter to the Xuanfu Department.

Tong Guan, who was in Xiongzhou, received the report from Zhao Liangsi and others, and replied that Guo Yaoshi and others had made great contributions when they attacked the Liao Kingdom that day.

Jin Guo couldn't accept Tong Guan's reasons, and insisted that Guo Yaoshi and the soldiers of the Changsheng Army return to Liaodong with the Jin army.The handover of Yanjing City was delayed again because of the unresolved dispute.

Just when Taiwei Tongguan was at a loss, Yu Wenxuzhong, an aide in the Yamen of Xuanfu Department, offered him a clever plan.

Yu Wenxuzhong told Tong Guan that the Kingdom of Jin occupied a large area of ​​the Liao Kingdom, and what is urgently needed now is people to develop the land.Because of this, Jin Guocai repeatedly asked Song Guo for refugees who fled south, so that even Guo Yaoshi and his ever-victorious army refused to let them go.

According to the covenant between the two countries, the Han people in Yandi belonged to the Song Dynasty, and the rest of the Khitan, Xi, Bohai and other tribes belonged to the Jin State.

The Song Dynasty gained so many new Han people in Yandi, so it is better to use the ordinary Han people in Yandi to make up 8000 people, say it is an ever-victorious army, and give it to the Kingdom of Jin.

Thinking that what the Kingdom of Jin wants is only households, as long as Da Song provides enough people, it will not only meet the needs of the people of Jin, but also keep the force of the ever-victorious army for Da Song.

Moreover, after those Han people in Yandi were taken away by the Kingdom of Jin, their remaining fields could just be distributed to the Changsheng Army for cultivation.In this way, the ever-victorious army can be self-sufficient, and the court can save a lot of money to support the army.

The strategy presented by Yu Wenxu may be a "smart strategy" for the Song Dynasty court and Taiwei Tongguan who are eager to solve their difficulties, but for the Han people in Yandi, it is an out-and-out poisonous strategy.

If the Song court implemented this move, it would not only betray and abandon the Han people in Yandi, but also take the opportunity to seize the land of the Han people in Yandi, which can be described as extremely despicable and shameless.

However, Taiwei Tong Guan greatly appreciated Yu Wenxuzhong's strategy and reported it to the court.

Although Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty in Bianliang City in Tokyo was full of benevolence and morality on weekdays, after receiving Tong Guan's letter, he also thought it was a good idea, and approved the Secretary of Xuan Fu to negotiate with Jin Guo to implement it.

It can be seen from this that the court of the Song Dynasty was only greedy for the land of Yanyun Land, but never put the Han people in Yandi in their eyes.

After Taiwei Tongguan received the imperial court's instructions, he sent Zhao Liangsi and others to negotiate with Jin Guoren to replace Guo Yaoshi and Chang Shengjun with wealthy Han people in Yandi.

Song Dynasty was willing to give so many wealthy Han people to the Kingdom of Jin. Of course, the people of the Kingdom of Jin couldn't ask for more, so how could they refuse?Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin agreed to the exchange plan proposed by Song Guo on behalf of Jin Guo.

Therefore, the Song Dynasty ordered Yanjing and all the Han people with family assets of more than 150 guan in Yanjing and the counties under its jurisdiction, a total of more than [-] households, to move northward with the Jin army in the name of the Ever Victorious Army.

Why did they deliberately relocate Han Chinese with family assets?Of course, it is for the convenience of the imperial court in the future to occupy the land of these Han people in Yandi.

As for the propertyless poor in Yandi, they don't even have the qualifications to be betrayed and entrapped by the Song court this time, so they can only let the officials die.

The move of the Song Dynasty caused almost all Han people in the Yanjing area to disperse their wives, destroy their families and go bankrupt. Only Zhuo and Yi prefectures surrendered to the Song Dynasty before the small court of Yanjing in the Liao Kingdom collapsed, and the residents were spared the catastrophe.

Chapter 844 An Eternal Victory

The Han people in Yandi were forced to move north, and everyone complained.

The generals of the Jin army told these Han people in Yandi that the idea of ​​letting them move was from the state of Song, and that it was the state of Song in the Southern Dynasty who did not want them.As a result, the Yandi Han people who were forced to migrate resented the Song Dynasty.

These people knew that if they wanted not to leave their hometown, the Song Dynasty in the south could not count on it, and they could only hope that the Jin Kingdom would not give up Yanjing.In this way, as subjects of the Kingdom of Jin, they did not need to leave Yanjing and move north to Liaodong.

The Han people in Yanjing found Wanyan Xiyin, a general of the Kingdom of Jin who could speak Chinese, and told him that the territory of Yanjing was not originally from the Song Dynasty, and that it was rich in products and the strategic terrain was very dangerous.With such a precious land, why did you Jin Kingdom give it to the Song Dynasty, why can't you rule it yourself?

After listening to the persuasion of the Han people in Yanjing City, Wanyan Xiyin took this very seriously, so he once again spoke to Emperor Wanyan Agu, requesting not to hand over Yanjing City and other places to the Song Dynasty, but to use Zhuozhou and Yizhou as the boundary to separate from the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty divided and ruled Yandi.

At this time, Wanyan Aguda felt unwell and had no intention of staying in Yanjing City for a long time.

Wanyan Aguda said to Wanyan Xiyin: "God Gu, I know that none of the generals in the army and the survivors of the Liao Kingdom are willing to give the land of Yan to the Song Dynasty. But I have personally agreed to the maritime alliance agreed with the Song Dynasty back then. In order to cede Yanjing to the Song Dynasty, it is not easy to go back on it.

You also know that I, Wanyan Agu, keep my word and never break my promise. I hope you can let me fulfill my promise.

My body is already weak, and after a hundred years, you can decide for yourself about the land of Yanjing according to the situation. "

After Wanyan Xiyin heard this, he passed on Wanyan Aguda's words to the generals of the imperial family in the army, and the voices in the Jin army opposing the handover of the land of Yan subsided.

At this time, Yao Pingzhong and Kang Sui, who were in charge, rushed back to Xiongzhou and informed Taiwei Tongguan of the latest situation in Yanshan Mansion.

When Tong Guan learned that the Jin army was about to retreat, he sent Daizhou guard Li Siben to lead [-] soldiers from the east of the river into the territory of Yanshan Prefecture first.

Afterwards, Tong Guan, the envoy of Xuan Fu, and Cai You, the deputy envoy of Xuan Fu, led an army of 30 to Yanshan Mansion.

Tong Guan's move was also to bluff to the Jin army and the people of Yandi in order to successfully take over Yanjing and rule Yandi in the future.

At this time, the weather became hot, and many people in the Jin army were dissatisfied with the water and soil, and got the disease. Even the emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Jin Kingdom was infected with the disease.

Wanyan Aguda had no intention of staying in Yandi. After seeing the Song army, he ordered people to set up the stronghold and withdraw from Yanjing City.

Before leaving, the Jin army destroyed Yanjing City and all the nearby fortresses, and then brought the gold, silver and jewelry in the city, as well as a large number of residents in the city, including officials, common people, artisans, prostitutes, scholars, merchants, etc., from Songting Guan withdrew from Yanjing.

After the Jin army retreated, Li Siben led his troops to immediately stationed in Yanjing City.

At this time, Song Jun set his own oolong, and staged another funny scene in Yanjing City.

After Taiwei Tong Guan received the information that the Jin army had retreated, for the sake of safety, he ordered Guo Yaoshi to be the vanguard, leading a team to enter Yanshan Mansion first, and join Li Siben in the city.

Unexpectedly, when Guo Yaoshi led his troops to the foot of Yanjing City, Li Siben in the city saw Guo Yaoshi's army from a distance, and mistakenly thought that it was the Jin army who had sent troops back. He was so frightened that he didn't even care about his troops, and fled back to the city alone. Take refuge in the camp outside.

After Guo Yaoshi entered the city and learned that Li Siben had escaped, he quickly sent someone to tell Li Siben not to be afraid, it was his brother's troops who came.Only then did Li Siben regain his composure, and rode his horse back to Yanshan Mansion.

Li Siben's cowardly and poor performance of the Hedong Army made the generals of the Changsheng Army even more contemptuous of the Song Army's various departments.

Knowing that the Jin army had indeed withdrawn, Tong Guan and Cai You led their troops into Yanjing City majesticly, and regained Yandi on behalf of the Song court.

Although taking back Yandi is something worth celebrating, Taiwei Tong Guan is not in a happy mood. He is worried that Jin Jun will suddenly go back on his word and return to Yanjing City, trapping himself in the city.

Therefore, Tong Guan reluctantly stayed in Yanshan Mansion for more than ten days, and after hastily arranging the takeover matters of the prefectures in Yanshan Mansion, he and Cai You returned to the Xuanfu Department of Xiongzhou City.

When Tong Guan led the troops into Yanjing City, Wanyan Aguda personally led the army to the west to cross Juyongguan, went straight to Baishuiluo in Fengsheng Prefecture to spend the summer, and prepared to continue to attack the remnants of Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi in Jiashan.

After the Song army took back the Yanshan mansion, Tong Guan immediately returned to Yanzuo and sent the good news back to the court.

In order to cater to the Daoist Emperor Zhao Ji, who was very happy, Tong Guan changed all the defeats of the Song Dynasty into victories in his memorial to Yan. It did not mention that Yanshan Mansion has now become an empty city, and the surrounding counties and suburbs have almost become wasteland. the truth.

If the uninformed Song people only read Tong Guan's memorials, they would think that under the wise leadership of the current emperor, Tong Taiwei led the Song army to fight bravely, destroying powerful enemies all the way, and finally regained Yandi from the Liao army.

Although Song Huizong and the important ministers around him understood how the city of Yanjing was recovered, in order to establish the image of Song Huizong as a wise monarch to the people all over the world, and exaggerate the great achievements of the imperial court in recovering Yandi, we must agree with Taiwei Tongguan's statement!
