In the spring of the ninth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, the war between Jin and Liao began. At first glance, it was actually the most surprising and childish.
A few years ago, Jin and Liao had just negotiated peace. "This peace negotiation" said that the Liao Kingdom made a lot of concessions. Yelu Yanxi officially consecrated Wanyan Aguda as the Great Sage Emperor, called the Jin Kingdom his brother, and ceded Liaodong.
In fact, the two roads of Changchun have already been occupied by the Jin Kingdom. The cession is just a pretense. The annual tribute of 250,000 taels of silver silk is given to the Jin Kingdom. This almost means that all of the Tanyuan Alliance are signed to the Jin Kingdom.
country.
But at the beginning of the Tanyuan Alliance, speaking of Wu and Liao dynasties, they were relatively equal powers. Although they owed the contract due to the situation, the power of Jin and Liao was actually disproportionate. In the final analysis, the Jurchens
There are so many people in the Jin Kingdom. There are too few people in the Jin Kingdom. The reason why he achieved such a god-like performance in the Battle of Hubu Dagang was not because Wanyan Aguda was really confident, but because he only had more than 20,000 people at hand. In the following years, he fought continuously
Jie, in fact, the military strength of the Jin Kingdom was still disproportionate to that of the Liao Kingdom.
For this reason, Yelu Yanxi signed the contract and consciously made a big step forward. After thinking about it, he was probably sure that the Jin Kingdom should not want to fight anymore and could not fight anymore. So he felt relieved. In the eyes of others, "
"The Kingdom of Jin has established a foundation." At this time, it was time to stop and recuperate. It is human nature, so the contract was made, and everyone more or less believed it. No matter what, such a contract,
Usually it still lasts for a few years.
This year Wanyan Aguda turned fifty-two years old.
Judging from what happened later, this heroic figure who rose up against the Liao Kingdom in his forties and led tens of thousands of Jurchens to stand on an equal footing with the Liao Emperor in just over ten years was obviously unwilling to do so.
Leave the accomplished hegemony to others. But at the time, the things that happened in this spring were actually a bit childish and ridiculous on the surface.
Yelu Yanxi was initially unwilling to admit that Wanyan Aguda was the emperor. He originally wanted to call Wanyan Aguda the King of Donghuai. However, Wanyan Aguda was not easily fooled, so he lost his temper at Yelu Yanxi.
Bian shrank and had no choice but to call him the Great Sage Emperor.
The matter was settled." Yelu Yanxi put down a big stone in his heart, feeling that he could finally be stable for a few years. He is a person who hates trouble and likes to travel. "He loves world peace and has a very accepting personality. Finally, he was relieved and went to travel again.
At that time, I suddenly remembered something.
The eldest son of his family, whose hegemony was comparable to that of Wanyan Aguda at this time, Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, was also called the Great Sage Emperor, and his full name was "Taizu Jia Sheng Daming Shen Lietian Emperor..." This can't be done, "ancestor's"
The title was given to him." This was unfilial. So he turned around and sent an envoy over to ask Aguda if he could take back the title of emperor and change it.
Poor people care more about face. Agu has worked hard all his life to "finally become the emperor." But you make such a fool of an emperor. Isn't this a slap in the face? At the end of the second lunar month, the Kingdom of Jin swore to conquer Liao on March 26th of the lunar calendar. Wanyan
Aguda officially launched a general attack on Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing, one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom. On the fifth day of April, the Jin Kingdom's cavalry marched to the west bank of the Hun River and marched to the city.
At this time, the person guarding Linhuang Mansion was Xiao Tabuye, a veteran of the Liao Kingdom. Although he had failed several times in battles with the Jin Kingdom, to be fair, he was not a mediocre person.
As the political capital of the Liao Kingdom, Linhuang Mansion has a high city and a thick pool.
Tight defense.
Perhaps considering that the city was difficult to attack, Aguda sent Wanyan Zongxiong to persuade him to surrender. However, Xiao Tat's favorite Biezi moved to the enemy camp and died at the hands of the Jurchens in the Battle of Ningjiang Prefecture a few years ago.
Naturally, the attempt to persuade them to surrender failed.
Relying on the strong city, Xiao Tat actually didn't have a very strong sense of urgency. The Liao Kingdom was still very thin and garrisoned Bima Da. Even if he couldn't defeat Wanyan Aguda, he was already ready to defend the strong city.
The idea of waiting for reinforcements for several months. And Aguda was very straightforward. In the morning, he sent Wanyan Zongxiong to persuade him to surrender, but to no avail. In the morning, he launched an attack on Linhuang Mansion. Aguda personally came to the city to command the siege. In the afternoon, Xin
At that moment, Aguda's half-brother Wanyan's mother-in-law took the lead and rushed to the top of Shangjing City.
This is another outcome of the war that no one expected. The fortified city that was originally thought to be able to defend for at least several months fell to Wanyan Aguda’s hands in just half a day. When the sunset on that day dyed the sky into dusk
At that time, Aguda and a group of his generals stepped into the city gate, and the Jurchen soldiers had already marched in, turning the entire city into smoke.
……………………
"Even if it's cheating, this is a bit too much..."
After drinking all the tea in his hand, Ning Yi sighed. He didn't know much about Wanyan Aguda's life story, although most of the founding monarchs of each dynasty had some inhuman achievements or achievements.
But when I heard Mr. Qin talk about it, I still felt shocked beyond words. People in this era hated the Liao Kingdom, so they were still close to the Jin Kingdom. When talking about it, most of them regarded Wanyan Aguda as an unparalleled foreign hero.
Ning Yi was also a little impressed by what he had done. However, when Mr. Qin talked about it at this time, he was not necessarily filled with joy.
"Open... hang up?" "It means cheating."
"Oh, ha, that's true." Mr. Qin nodded and smiled, and then his eyes became a little sad, "A hero, no matter what, this Wanyan Aguda is indeed a hero in the world." He used troops against the Liao Kingdom
, but sooner or later, it is as expected. Now that we are taking action, we must have signed a treaty with Wu Dynasty. We are just waiting for my army to send troops to the "Sixteenth State of Yanyun..."
He sighed, Ning Yi looked at him, "then thought for a moment", raised the teapot and poured tea: "It seems to be true." At first, he thought that the Jin Kingdom would become powerful, united the Jin Kingdom to fight against the Liao Dynasty, drove away the tigers and devoured the wolves, it was Lao Qin who
Is it your plan?"
"It's not a final plan. The old man shook his head and sighed... He was just forced to have no way out, so he just thought of some tricks." Today, I also have ideas about subduing Yan Yun. "Those who wanted to unite at the beginning were also
Not only the Jurchens, but the Jurchens could not see their days of success at that time. I scolded them a lot and took the blame, so I retired. In the past few years, the current situation has changed, and it is much different from what I designed at that time.
There are discrepancies, but they finally grasped it, and the day has finally come..."
In the past few months, the old man had been silent about this and did not talk about topics related to the current situation. Today, he is finally able to talk about it. He has been waiting for eight years for Jin and Liao to be evenly matched and the war to officially begin. Now that he talks about it, he feels relieved.
"Of course there is a feeling of relief, but he doesn't seem to be happy. He is usually humorous and easy-going, but there is a sense of majesty and courage in his conversation. But at this time," I saw his white hair covered with white hair,
The majesty is gone, leaving only easy-going and a little tiredness. He has been patient for the past eight years, seemingly peaceful, but in fact, watching the overall situation change, he must be burdened with unspeakable pressure and it is difficult to live.
At this time, the courtyard was quiet, and the leaves were swaying in the breeze. Ning Yi probably felt the old man's mood, but he was slightly emotional. The history at this time was different from what he knew in the past, but in any case, "as a participant," the old man did his best.
Ning Yi picked up the tea cup and took a sip. He also understood that he didn't need to say anything at this time.
The old man thought for a while and then laughed.
"Still saying that, is Li Heng willing to go to the capital to do a career?"
In the past, Kang Xian often asked him if he wanted to be an official, but Mr. Qin just looked on.
At this moment, he was the one who asked. Ning Yi shook his head: "Oh, your old man has an uncertain future and I won't mess with you."
"Excuse..."
Ning Yi was making a joke." Mr. Qin pointed it out casually: "Actually... a few years ago,
Watching the fight between Jin and Liao become increasingly fierce, I can only feel happy in my heart. But in recent years, the more I watch them fight back and forth, the more uneasy I feel." Li Heng, you should know the truth.
“Weak countries have no diplomacy?”
The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Li Heng really understood this, and he hit the nail on the head, a weak country has no diplomacy... Wanyan Agu raised an army with more than 2,000 men to resist the Jinren's million-strong army, and went out of Hedian.
Huanglong Mansion, guarding Dagang... One battle after another, I heard from the people in the court, "This man is indeed an unparalleled hero, and said that the popularity of the Liao people has been exhausted. But now every time we have friction with the Liao people at the border,
It must be a mountain-mountain defeat, with 20,000 troops guarding the hills and 700,000. The Jurchens are invincible. It is unbelievable. But if 700,000 Liao soldiers attack our Wu Dynasty, who in our Wu Dynasty can be defeated? Li Gang
,Tong Guan,
Zhongshidao? These Jin soldiers... Who will they attack after they attack Liao? Li Heng, I always feel that what I thought at the beginning was not to save Wu Dynasty, but actually to push Wu Dynasty into a pit of fire." "Too many
I've thought about it." Ning Yi looked at him and said, "There are not enough people in the Jin Kingdom. For the time being, this is a weakness. As long as people are willing to work hard, seize the opportunity to breathe, Wu Dynasty can still be saved."
"What I'm afraid of is that one day the Jin soldiers will march south" and they won't be able to breathe. What should I do?"
"Then it's time to subjugate the country. Old man, how much do you want to do by yourself?"
"Finally do one thing at a time."
"You are too arrogant."
"hehe."
The two of them laughed for a while. After a while, Ning Yi raised his tea cup and said: "Mr. Qin"
Let’s stop talking nonsense. I understand what you mean. I will go to the capital if I have the opportunity. If there is anything I can do, please ask Mr. Qin to take care of me. Now I just hope that...
I won’t be too persistent.” Ha…,
..." To be fair, Ning Yi has some admiration for what the old man in front of him has done. He has no plans to become an official, nor does he think that if the situation really takes a turn for the worse in the future, he will be able to turn the tide. After all, manpower is sometimes insufficient.
And poor. But if there is an opportunity to contribute in the future, of course it is pointless, so there is no need to block the road with words.
The two parties have known each other for two years. During this period, they have talked many times and they understand each other's personalities. However, Qin Siyuan didn't quite understand the last sentence for a while. Only a few years later, people who really know Ning Yi can
You probably understand how thoroughly he will make things happen once he really plans to do something well.
That is a concept that not many people dare to think about in almost the entire era.
Of course, it was still a peaceful and peaceful early summer, and the things he had agreed with his wife could not be let go. The two then chatted about the situation in Jinliao for a while, and after a few days, Su Taner had arranged everything, and Ning
Yi, Yunzhu, and Jiner reluctantly said goodbye. The family took a big boat and headed east along the Yangtze River toward Yangzhou.
In May, the news of the Jin-Liao war spread throughout the south of the Yangtze River.
At the end of May, Qin Siyuan came back to power, and was directly promoted to the post of Shangshu Youpu She and Tong Zhongshu's subordinate Ping Zhangshi. He received numerous other rewards. The reason for his return was not made clear to the world, but it also implicitly confirmed the truth of those rumors from before.
Sex, reputation in the court, are the same for a time.
The wheels turn and turn, and the history of the Three Kingdoms of Jin, Liao and Wu has entered a new chapter.
At the same time, on the grassland in the northwest of the Liao Kingdom, a tribe named Qiyan had raised an anti-Liao flag and was marching south and north on the grassland, rapidly expanding its power like locusts. They seemed to be hiding in
The cyclone in the corner that no one expected was waiting to continue to grow in strength, and eventually expanded into a huge storm that tore everyone's eyes apart...
