Chapter 201 Li Qingzhao is here (please vote for me!)

…

The distance from Laizhou to Yanjing is actually not that far.

But Li Qingzhao and his party traveled for more than three months.

This is mainly because the Zhao and Song Dynasties deployed millions of troops and officials at all levels on the northern border.

The daily consumption of these garrisons and officials is astronomical.

In the end, all the supplies for the garrison and officials were distributed to the people in Jingdong, Hebei, and Hedong.

What's even more abominable is that the Zhao and Song court also forced the people to transport grain to Xiongzhou and pay for it.

Sometimes, in order to transport one stone of grain, ordinary people had to pay a price of more than ten to twenty stone of grain by eating and drinking at various checkpoints along the way, plus their own consumption.

This caused great disaster to the people in Jingdong, Hebei, and Hedong.

Wang Fu also collected money for free husbands all over the country, and officials in various states and counties also used this to exploit the people.

The key is that more than half of the grain-producing areas of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were captured by Li Cun.

In addition, the Sanyi Huihe River initiated by the Zhao and Song dynasties tried to change the course of the Yellow River, but failed repeatedly, causing the Hebei area, which was originally very rich, to become depressed and poor because of the Yellow River bursting its banks.

In addition, the continuous famines in the past two years have caused a large number of starvation deaths in the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

Under such circumstances, Jingdong and Hebei are full of strong men who are kings of the mountains, and there are several rebel armies ready to copy Li Cun's successful path.

——In the past two years, farmers in Hebei, Jingdong and other areas have revolted one after another, ranging from hundreds to thousands to tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands.

This makes the journey very uneven.

Li Qingzhao was careful and fought with the strongmen and rebels, but he only managed to reach Daming Mansion in Beijing and did not dare to go any further.

——Hebei Road Luozhou Zhang Di (the prototype of Tianhu in Water Margin) is currently gathering hundreds of thousands of people to attack prefectures and counties. Not long ago, Zhang Di besieged Junzhou for five days. It looks a lot like Li Cun and Fang La.

Luozhou was just above Daming Mansion in Beijing, blocking Li Qingzhao's way north. Under such circumstances, how could Li Qingzhao dare to continue going north?

It was not until recently that Li Qingzhao heard that the imperial court sent Liu Guangshi and other generals to suppress Zhang Di, and that initial results were achieved, that Li Qingzhao thought of continuing his journey north.

Coincidentally, Qin Hui went north again and also came to Damingfu in Beijing.

The two met by chance in Damingfu, Beijing.

This illness almost killed Qin Hui, and also delayed a lot of things in the Song Dynasty.

At least that's what Qin Hui thinks.

Because of his illness, the emperor of the Song Dynasty and a group of prime ministers continued to implement the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers.

In his opinion, this was a major mistake of the Song Dynasty.

He and Zhao Ding had discussed that the only opportunity for the Song Dynasty now was not to sit back and watch the Qian Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom quarrel, but to cooperate with the Jin Kingdom to take advantage of Li Cun to trap him in the Yan land.

During this period when it is difficult for the land to get the full support of its own territory, it is necessary to defeat Li Cun quickly or bring down Li Cun's Daqian dynasty.

But his illness caused the Song Dynasty to not only fail to communicate with the Jin Kingdom about the joint destruction of Gan during these three precious months, but instead went to seize the Yundi occupied by the Jin Kingdom, which cast a shadow on the relationship between the two countries.

There was a layer of shadow, and the key was that it gave Li Cun more than three months.

Qin Hui has fully understood how terrifying Li Cun is, and feels that with more than three months, Li Cun will definitely be able to gain a foothold in Yan. Now even if the Song Dynasty and the Jin Kingdom unite, it will be difficult for them to attack Da Qian. The dynasty poses a threat.

However, despite this, as soon as Qin Hui got better, he went to see Zhao Ji and told him what he and Zhao Ding had seen and heard in Yandi, especially that Li Cun had annihilated the famous and powerful Tataer tribe on the grassland in one battle. Department, told Zhao Ji in detail.

Moreover, Qin Huiyan categorically told Zhao Ji that if Qian Jin fought a decisive battle now, the Jin Kingdom would most likely be defeated. He also pointed out that the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers would not work at all, and only the alliance with Jin to destroy Qian could be done.

Zhao Ji had actually heard about what Qin Hui said, including the fact that Li Cunzeng defeated the Tata'er tribe.

But Zhao Ji didn't take this too seriously before.

Even though Li Cun annihilated all the Tatar tribe in one battle, Zhao Ji felt that Li Cun just defeated a grassland tribe and it was no big deal.

Now, after listening to Qin Hui's analysis and concluding that if the Daqian Dynasty went to war with the Jin Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom would be defeated, Zhao Ji began to think, were they a little too optimistic before?

But before that, the Song Dynasty had always implemented a strategy to drive away wolves and tigers, cutting off contact with the Jin Kingdom, and Tan Zhen almost captured the land of Yunshuo.

What should we do?

At this time, news came from the Xuanfu Division in Hebei Province that the Jin people wanted to send envoys to visit the Song Dynasty to discuss the joint destruction of the two families.

After Zhao Ji heard about this, he asked Tong Guan to arrange for the envoy to accompany the envoy Jin to Bianliang City in Tokyo as soon as possible.

After Tong Guan received the order, he appointed Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo as the principal and deputy envoys to welcome the Jin envoy and accompany the Jin envoy back to Beijing.

Soon after, Jin Envoy Wanyan Yinshuke and others came to Xiongzhou.

When Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo met, they found out that the envoy sent by the Kingdom of Jin this time was Wanyan Yinshuke, and they immediately felt that the Kingdom of Jin valued this mission.

Wanyan Yinshu was a man with both civil and military skills. He was an outstanding general who could lead troops to fight, and he also knew very well about politics and governing the country. He was the leading talent in the Jin Kingdom.

I remember that when Wanyan Aguda had just ascended the throne and proclaimed himself emperor, he ordered Wanyan Yinshuke and Wanyan Xigunai to go to the Liao Kingdom as envoys to find out the reality of the Liao Kingdom.

After the two of them returned from their mission, Wanyan Yinshu concluded that Yelu Yanxi was busy with political matters and the Liao Kingdom had been disintegrated due to political favors, so he pushed Wanyan Agu to launch an army to conquer the Liao Dynasty.

As a result, after Wanyan Agu launched his army, he was really unstoppable and won consecutive battles.

In the war with the Liao Kingdom, among the generals of the Jin Kingdom, the one with the most brilliant record was probably Wanyan Loushi.

But in most of the battles that Wanyan Loushi participated in, Wanyan Yinshu participated in them. The two of them were always inseparable.

The key point is that Wanyan Yinshu is the most trusted minister of Wanyan Aguda. He is very powerful and is currently the commander-in-chief of the West Road.

Zhao Liangsi quickly sent a horse to convey these important news back to the court.

After Zhao Ji learned this, he issued an edict to ask Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to receive Wanyan Yinshuke according to the etiquette of receiving Liao envoys in the past, that is, to arrange for Wanyan Yinshuke to stay in the best Duting Posthouse. He also gave Wanyan Yinshu and his gold envoy quilt and Polo.

A few days later, Wanyan Yinshuke waited for the gold envoy to come to Chongzheng Hall to see Zhao Ji.

Wanyan Yinshu can wait for the gold envoy to pay homage to Zhao Ji with full courtesy and present the complete credentials, items and draft of the oath one by one.

The credentials are as follows:

The envoys have been recommended by the emperor, and the honors have been received one after another. Not only have they gained a lot of money, but they also have a deep understanding of the good neighbor's intentions. Once the oath is fulfilled, they will always maintain peace.

The letter said that the goods were paid for in lieu of taxes, as well as the value of the items, the month and day of delivery, the place and the boundary of the painting, and an envoy was sent to congratulate Zhengdan on his birthday and inquire about the affairs of the place, as well as the instructions of the Tathagata. Prepare detailed and beautiful surprises.

This year, the silver silk will be combined.

On the day of the old friendship with Khitan, I thought about the book of Yuan Dynasty and came up with it. I remembered that it was not easy for farmers to have good luck in the spring, and Qu always wanted to send the silver silk to the Khitan to look for ordinary people. All the cloud cities are waiting for each to make an oath and then

Delivery...

The items are as follows:

Yesterday, Zhao Liangsi went to the army in Beijing and planned to conquer the old Han prefectures and counties of Khitan after the Five Dynasties, and chartered Yanjing. He sent Ma Zheng again, and even discussed Xijing. He only asked for a reply and planned to recover it. He thought it could not be recovered, so he

This dynasty accepted it, and sent Liangsi and others to negotiate and call it Yan. The two western capitals had already discussed it, but there was no limit for the western capital. Without permission, it would only be with the six states under the jurisdiction of Yanjing.

Although your dynasty has not been attacked by two dynasties, but you want to make peace between the two dynasties, they are actually from the same family. You must have sex and stay committed to the past. You have granted permission to the states of Xijing, Wu, Ying, Shuo, Wei, Fengsheng, Guihua, Confucianism, and Gui.

Combined with land and population.

According to the promise, the people have a lot of land, and they have been attacked and appeased, and the generals and soldiers have suffered a lot. Now I have no other choice but to ask for instructions and send someone to deliver it. Fortunately, I stepped into the land and the delivery date was issued on the month.

The provincial capital. All oaths will be agreed upon on the delivery date.

The draft of the affidavit is as follows:

The Great Sage Emperor of the Jin Dynasty founded the country and established the Liao Kingdom. He sent envoys to plan for the Five Dynasties to fall into the land of Khitan and Yanyun. Fortunately, he was well-intentioned and made special arrangements with Xijing, Wu, Ying, Shuo, Wei, Fengsheng, Guihua, Confucianism, Gui, etc.

The state also belongs to the county and the households it governs. It is related to the border country and is still the Dajin Institute.

Yes, I paid Khitan 200,000 taels of silver, 300,000 pieces of silk, and only one cent of the 50-60 cents of the annual tax paid by Xijing. The money is 1 million taels, which is worth the money.

The boundary head of Feng Sheng Prefecture was delivered, and the number of colors has been recorded in the back-and-forth letters of credence...

After reading the letters of credence, items and the draft oath brought by Wanyan Yinshuke's gold envoy, Zhao Ji and his ministers couldn't help but be overjoyed.

The Kingdom of Jin actually did not blame the Song Dynasty for not fulfilling the covenant and plotting against the Kingdom of Jin by driving away wolves and tigers. On the contrary, they took the initiative to give up all the land to the Song Dynasty. They only asked the Song Dynasty for one million gold and silver, thirty

Ten thousand pieces of silk are used as annual coins.

For the Song Dynasty, this was like pie in the sky.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Zhao Ji asked Wang Fu and others to quickly follow up with Wanyan Yinshuke and wait for the gold envoy to determine the ownership of Yan land, and continue to fight for the ownership of the three states of Pingluanying.

What excited Zhao Ji and his ministers, Wanyan Yinshu said on behalf of Wanyan Aguda that the land of Yan was something that the two families had agreed upon before. Even if they recovered the Jin Kingdom, they would give it to the Song Dynasty and the Song Dynasty.

When the time comes, the dynasty will only need to give the Kingdom of Jin some more coins.

Okay, as for the three states of Pingluanying, the Jin Kingdom must capture them first, otherwise it will not be able to cooperate with the Song Dynasty to eliminate the Daqian Dynasty. As for the future ownership of the three states of Pingluanying, it will not be until the Great Jin Dynasty is destroyed in the future.

After the Qian Dynasty is established, the two families can discuss it slowly.

Zhao Ji and his ministers were very satisfied with the attitude of the Jin State, and decided to give up the strategy of driving away wolves and tigers, and instead joined forces with the Jin State to destroy Qian.

Qin Hui felt very uneasy about the abnormal behavior of the Jin Kingdom. He quickly asked to see Zhao Ji, and then said to Zhao Ji: "The Jurchens are greedy and greedy, and they are only interested in profit. Today, Xie is easy to talk to. His family must have realized that Li Thief is difficult to defeat, so he used the golden cicada to escape.

plan."

In fact, Qin Hui guessed it right.

When Wanyan Aguda saw Li Cunwen, he was so worried that he relied on Juyong Pass, Zijing Pass, Gubeikou, Songting Pass and other dangerous passes that were easy to defend and difficult to attack, so he did not come out to fight with them in the Great Jin Kingdom, which was their best field battle, and made a sit-down plan. It's like watching a tiger fighting from a mountain, and I feel worse and worse.
