The arrival of the great shaman Oguna directly accelerated the psychological preparation of some quick-thinking Jin Kingdom dignitaries.
They originally wanted to persuade Wu Qimai to surrender to Emperor Yan in order to seek peace for the Jin Kingdom and thus protect their vested interests, but they did not dare to speak easily for fear of being denounced as traitors.
But here comes the great shaman.
The Great Shaman's idea is to submit to Dayan.
And it is surrender to the messenger of God.
It is of course disgraceful to submit to a Han Chinese, but it is natural to submit to a divine envoy.
Seeing Wu Qimai's expression slightly moving and knowing that his father was shaken, Wanyan Zongpan felt great pain in his heart.
He knelt on the ground and cried out repeatedly: "Father, we must never surrender without a fight! We, the Jin army, have strong horses and strong horses, and 300,000 cavalry troops in Bei'an Prefecture. Now that we have never fought, we have to beg for surrender from the Yan State. How can we?
Can you not make the world laugh at you?"
Wanyan Zonggu said calmly: "Brother, this is not begging for surrender, but taking the overall situation into consideration. Moreover, the great shaman also said that Emperor Yan is the divine envoy. Speaking of which, I, Dajin, surrender to the divine envoy, but in fact it is not shameful."
Wanyan Zonggu's words immediately aroused the echo of many Jin court officials, and even Wanyan Xiyin began to agree.
Wanyan Zongpan was so angry that he stood up and raised his hands to rebuke: "You traitors! How dare you persuade your majesty to surrender to the Yan people! Since the founding of the Jin Dynasty, we have always been invincible in battles and attacks, so what's the point of a mere Yan country?"
Is it true?"
"Father, I am willing to lead the troops to fight again. This time, I am willing to fight to the death and not take Yanjing. I will come here to see you!"
Wanyan Zonggu sarcastically said: "Brother, do you want to fight again? You have been defeated by Emperor Yan one after another, and you have lost nearly 100,000 troops. If you are allowed to provoke the Yan people again and start a war, I, Dajin, will
I think any troops or horses will be destroyed in your hands!"
Wanyan Zongpan was so angry that his face turned red, his shoulders were shaking and he said, "Zong Gu! Do you dare to humiliate someone?"
Wanyan Zonggu curled his lips and thought, so what if I humiliate you? Do you think you are still the golden god of war in the past?
"Okay, stop arguing!" Wu Qimai stood up and made up his mind. He said slowly: "It's not about begging for surrender, it's just about negotiating with the Yan people to stop the army. In this way, who is willing to represent the great army?
Jin, on my behalf, go to the Kingdom of Yan?"
As soon as Wu Qimai finished speaking, Wanyan Zonggu immediately raised his hands and said, "My son, I am willing to go!"
Wu Qimai nodded slightly and immediately looked at Wanyan Xiyin: "Let's go together with the Prime Minister. Come and deliver the order. Wanyan Zonggu will be the envoy to Yan, and the Prime Minister Wanyan Xiyin will be the deputy envoy.
Lead a delegation to the State of Yan!
That’s the end of today’s court meeting, please step aside!”
…
Wu Qi bought and left 100,000 troops to garrison Bei'an Prefecture to defend against the Yan people's Northern Expedition.
With Wanyan Zonggu as the commander-in-chief.
The remaining 200,000 troops, led by Wu Qimai personally, slowly returned to the Kingdom of Jin and went to Beijing.
Almost at the same time, Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Xiyin led the Jin delegation to set off for Yan. At this time, it was already the spring of the fourth year of Yan's revival.
The Jin envoy detained the customs, and Yue Fei sent 10,000 troops to monitor the Jin envoy. Hundreds of people flew into Beijing.
Emperor Yan Wang Lin met with Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Xiyin, the chief and deputy envoys of the Jin Dynasty mission, in the Fengtian Hall of the imperial palace.
Neither of them were strangers to Wang Lin. Wang Lin had met Zong Gu when he went to Beijing as an envoy. As for Wanyan Xiyin, he had been on two envoys to Dayan, so he was an old acquaintance.
Seeing Wang Lin wearing a bright yellow dragon robe and a soaring crown on his head, sitting on the Danqi, with a majestic and calm demeanor, Wanyan Xiyin quickly winked at Wanyan Zonggu, slowly prostrated himself in the tunnel and said: "
The foreign ministers Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Zonggu pay their respects to Emperor Yan!"
Wang Lin looked calm, staring at Wanyan Zonggu and Wanyan Xiyin under Danqi, and said calmly: "Zonggu, Wanyan Prime Minister, are you okay? You have come all the way to Dayan to see me, but you don't know what you want.
Why?"
In fact, everyone in the government and the public knew the purpose of the Jin delegation's visit, and Wang Lin just asked knowingly.
Wanyan Zonggu forced a smile and said: "Back to your majesty, the foreign minister has come to Dayan as an envoy on the orders of the Emperor of Jin Dynasty, asking to see His Majesty the Emperor of Yan to discuss the matter of the withdrawal of troops between Jin Dynasty and the State of Yan!"
Before Wang Lin could say anything, Zongze, the prime minister in the palace, could no longer hold himself back. He stood up and scolded: "Wanyan Zonggu, the Rujin people went back on their word. They invaded Juyongguan without authorization and started a war! Now!
You failed to attack the key point, but you saw that our defense line in Yan was impregnable, our troops and horses were strong, and you knew you were no match for us, yet you shamelessly came to Yan to talk about stopping the troops, isn't it ridiculous?"
Wanyan Xiyin smiled and said: "Zongxiang, Wanyan Zongpan led the army to invade the border. It was not our emperor's intention, but Zongpan's own decision. After our emperor learned about it, he already issued an edict to reprimand Zongpan for pretending to be mediocre and retreating!"
Zongze was furious and almost cursed in front of the emperor on the spot.
You golden people, how could you be more shameless?
The crowd of Yan ministers in the palace were agitated, and they all spoke angrily. Wanyan Zonggu looked embarrassed and remained silent. Wanyan Xiyin bowed with a smiling face, and then bowed to Wang Lin and said: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, speaking of Wu
Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, knows your Majesty’s character best. Our emperor has always advocated peaceful coexistence between the two countries and opposed southern invasion.”
"Oh? Prime Minister Wanyan, please tell me. Since His Majesty Wu Qimai has never been willing to invade the south, why did he personally lead his army to the Bei'an Prefecture line this time? That's fine. You might as well just tell him.
Look, how do you Jin people want to stop fighting with Dayan and coexist peacefully?
The previous agreement is still fresh in my mind, but in the blink of an eye, I tore up the agreement and invaded our borders. Wanyan, Prime Minister of the State, can you Jin people be trusted?"
Wanyan Xiyin's face turned red and he said in embarrassment: "Your Majesty, Emperor Yan, this time is different from the past. I, the great shaman of Dajin, said that His Majesty, Emperor Yan, is the envoy of God, and ordered me, Dajin, to surrender to His Majesty, Emperor Yan.
…”
As soon as Wanyan Xiyin said this, Yan Chen in the palace was even more surprised.
The unruly Jin people actually want to surrender?
Wang Lin's expression changed slightly: "What kind of surrender method?"
"Our Kingdom of Jin declares to the world that we regard the Kingdom of Yan as our superior state and accept the canonization of His Majesty the Emperor Yan. The two countries will stop fighting and each will guard their borders and not invade each other..."
Wanyan Xiyin paused, then spoke with difficulty: "I, Dajin, are willing to pay tribute to His Majesty the Emperor Yan of one hundred beauties, five thousand fine horses, and ten thousand cattle and sheep each year!"
Wang Lin was really surprised.
The Jin people actually want to become vassals and pay tribute?
It seems that the Jin Dynasty was suffering from internal and external troubles and lacked troops. Wu Qimai really did not have the slightest confidence in fighting against the Yan Dynasty, so he did not hesitate to surrender and pay tribute in exchange for peace and the stability of his personal imperial power.
All the ministers in the palace turned to look at the emperor on Danqi, and their breathing became rapid.
Winning the Jin people as vassals and paying tribute greatly satisfied the vanity and self-esteem of most Yan officials.
Many people even hoped that the emperor would agree.
Only Li Gang and others frowned.
Wang Lin fell silent.
After a long time, he slowly said: "Zong Gu, Wanyan, the Prime Minister of the country, it is not enough to just call him a minister and pay tribute."
