Chapter 114 Restoring peace and continuing development
As we all know, the relationship between Xiliao and Song Dynasty has been very harmonious over the years. If it were not for Li Gang's problem, they should continue to be harmonious. After all, only a fool would not do something that is beneficial to both parties.
But isn't it true that something happened to Li Gang? After Wu Gong and Yue Yun went to Datong Mansion, they conveyed the wishes of Zhao Guan's family. Ren Baozhong, Li Ruoxu, Qu Duan, and Li Shifu were still preparing to discuss countermeasures.
After a little blood, I heard the news that Yelu Yanshan, the military governor of Tiande Army, committed suicide to apologize. Now I became a little passive. Everyone was dead. No matter how harsh it was, it seemed a bit unbearable.
But we cannot violate the official's sacred will, and we are in a dilemma for a while.
But soon they no longer had a dilemma, because the Naiman tribe to the west of the Mongolian tribe colluded with the dissatisfied enemy tribes and the Chachi tribe and prepared to rebel. Unfortunately, due to geographical reasons, they had to pass through Dongsheng
They met in a long and narrow valley in the western part of the state, which was the key point in the confrontation between Song and Jin. If something like this happened to Li Gang again, how could the Song army allow them to pass under their noses?
As the commander-in-chief, Qu Duan heard about their changes. Although he felt that Yelu Dashi would not be stupid enough to engage in military friction with the Song Dynasty at this time, he had already reached the border of the Song Dynasty. How dare he not pay attention and immediately order all his troops.
It was Yue Yun who had come out of his experience. Prince Rong of Daoqu County immediately said, "The boy feels that the enemy situation is unclear at this time. As the commander, you should not leave the important town of Datong. Since there are not many of them, the boy and Wu Gong will take their own troops.
Let’s go explore the road. The cavalry is coming and going quickly. If something really goes wrong, it won’t be too late to ask the Duke and Deputy Commander Li to take action.”
Qu Duan was a little less sinister than he was three years ago. He looked at the honest boy Yue Yun, smiled, and said: "King Yue has given birth to a good son. Whatever you say, you are right. I really can't take it easy."
Leave Datong and go." It seems that he is still a person who has been tempered by actual war. How could this silly goose dare to speak like this a few years ago.
But what they didn't expect was that as soon as they entered Dongsheng Prefecture, they discovered that this was a small rebellion. Although it was not directed at the Song Dynasty, it would cause great danger in the territory of the Song Dynasty.
The Xiliao side should notify the Datong Cavalry as quickly as possible, as well as the nearest walled city Guo Hao and Qiao Zhongfu.
It has to be said that Tuoli is indeed loyal to Zhao Guan's family, but his governance skills are indeed not good. In the Mongolian territory, rewards and punishments are unfair, which has led to the alienation of many tribes. This time he brought the horses, iron tools and iron tools that the Song Dynasty rewarded after the victory of the Northern Expedition.
Comes with weapons.
Yue Yun saw something bad and took the lead, shouting: "You are all the subjects of our Chinese vassal state. Back then, we signed the imperial treaty in front of the emperor of China. Now you dare to cause trouble in our Song Dynasty. No one in our army dares to do so."
Did you fight?"
It was just as the sun was setting in the afternoon. Yue Yun was dressed in silver armor and looked extremely majestic. Wu Gong followed him even more dignified and steady. Although there were only two thousand soldiers and horses behind them, it was a bit shabby to stand in this vast wilderness, but
I couldn't stand Yue Yun's reputation, and the reputation of the imperial camp of the Song Dynasty for destroying gold was even more famous. The tribes united in rebellion, and to put it bluntly, they were just a mob. I was really a little intimidated by him.
As mentioned above, this Chachila tribe was brought by Yelu Yanshan from thousands of miles away from the Liao Kingdom. They were most afraid of his death and it was related to their own interests. They could not restrain themselves and started to attack first.
Yue Yun rode up on his horse and used the same strength that he used to beat Wang Bolong to death. He chopped down two generals with his broadsword and immediately boosted their morale. However, after all, the difference in numbers was too big. Mongols and Xiliao people were nomadic.
Almost all the people of the nation are soldiers. Seeing that the number of men is getting more and more, Yue Yun will inevitably suffer a loss. Besides, he leads the right army of the imperial camp that has only been trained for more than half a year. The cavalry of Wu Gong's tribe cannot compete with these few in equestrian skills.
nationality.
It was all thanks to Yue Yun's personal bravery and having commanded large-scale battles before. He was calm and composed, constantly changing formations, and frightening them to delay time. Seeing that the battle lasted from afternoon to night, Guo Hao and Qiao Zhongfu led 5,000 troops.
, threw away the baggage and came over quickly.
This time the situation suddenly changed. They are all tigers and wolves who have experienced the Northern Expedition. Are the Jin people not afraid of them, and are they afraid of you rabble? It soon turned into a one-sided massacre.
By the time Qu Duan arrived, the day lilies were already cold due to the distance.
Qu Duan was not willing to be robbed of the limelight by Guo Hao. The two of them refused to deal with each other at all, and said angrily to Yue Yunqian: "Didn't you kid say you were the first to notify me? Why did he come first?"
Yue Yun's mouth was not well practiced and he did not dare to contradict Shangguan. Moreover, he was destined to be incomparable to Qu Duan's mouth.
Seeing that they had experienced life and death friendship, Wu Gong was willing to defend him and said: "Please calm down the prince, this distress signal soldier was sent by his subordinates. It should be that the troops of Deputy Chief Guo were undergoing routine drills, so it was
They came faster than our cavalry, please calm down, the casualties caused this time are small, they are all from the Song Dynasty army, which is a good thing."
Qu Duan paused for a moment, looking at the seriously injured rear army soldiers who were wailing for life. He didn't say anything. Instead, he signaled to the accompanying military doctor to help quickly.
There were three groups of more than 7,000 people in the rebellion this time, and almost the entire army was wiped out. Of course, a few people had to be left alive, otherwise wouldn't the Song Dynasty be justified?
Even Yelu Dashi heard about the cause and effect, and secretly said that he was about to march thousands of miles westward. Any unstable factor may cause the disintegration of Daliao. Not to mention the defection of two tribes and the collusion of Ximengu in rebellion, it is impossible to say that this time
It was the Song Dynasty that helped the Liao Dynasty.
What's even more rare is that the Song's dispatch of troops this time also silenced the anti-Song forces within Western Liao.
Therefore, Yelu Dashi made the decision. In order to gain the support of the Song Dynasty, he not only formally apologized and compensated, and sent Li Xiuzhi and the martyrs' families out of the country with good gifts, but also ceded Guasha and two continents in the six states of Hexi to the Chinese emperor, allowing the two great powers to turn their hostility into friendship and continue.
The development of one east and one west.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! At the same time, in his private letter to Zhao Guan's family, he also implicitly stated that sooner or later the six states in Hexi will be returned to the Song Dynasty after his victory, and asked Zhao Guan's family to do the same
Give yourself some time.
The Zhao Guan family is very satisfied with this. Although it has not completely achieved the set goal, it is not bad. After all, Shazhou is where Yumen Pass is located, the key to the Silk Road!
From now on, the trade between the mainland and the Western Regions, and the exchanges with Tubo will be smoother and freer, which is very conducive to the development of the northwest economy.
After Li Xiuzhi received this result, he was no longer willing to stay in Xiliao to blow sand, and happily followed the Song Dynasty envoy back to Datong to take care of his father.
As Li Gang regained consciousness, the international war that might have been triggered was completely eliminated. But it was already the end of September.
Yandi is to the north, and it is already cold in the autumn with willow shadows at this time. The frost is falling in the dark forest, and the gentle wind blows with a bit of ice and snow. But Zhao Guan's family had to quickly hold the Jinshi examination, after all, before
It's been too long.
There was no one too dazzling this time. Wang Shixiong undoubtedly won the top prize in martial arts, but seeing Yue Yun making another outstanding achievement, the gap between the two became wider and wider. You can imagine how depressed he felt.
, it’s not good to go home and give your wife a hug. In addition, Lu You also entered the top five in the martial arts examination and became a martial arts detective. This can be regarded as an explanation to the family, and he directly entered the Imperial Camp Zuo Army as a preparatory general.
As for Wen Jinshi, there are no outstanding figures this time, except for the sixteen-year-old Yang Wanli, who also got fifth place in the exam. Through his mentor Liu Xianggong, he got engaged to the granddaughter of Yan Xiaozhong, the censor Zhongcheng.
The Zhao Guan family, who were very gossipy, thought, Liu Ji and Liu Zhifu are not trying to harm Xiao Yang, right? Yan Xiaozhong is certainly a loyal and famous official, but with his appearance, what if his granddaughter... But the matter of inheritance is also very difficult.
It's hard to say that Zhang Rong is black and white, but she has seen Mrs. Yu and Mrs. Zhang, and she is also a very heroic and dashing lady.
In addition, Hong Shi also took part in the imperial examination as an Enyin official, and his ranking was good.
Zhao Guan's family had no idea that if he hadn't delayed his study time, he would have been the top scorer.
However, as the son of a high-ranking official, he does not have to worry about being caught as a son-in-law. His father will choose a bride for him in Tokyo.
In addition, regarding the issue of punishment and rewards for those involved in the Xiliao incident, the Privy Council came up with a plan, and the Zhao family agreed after making some slight changes.
Yue Yun handled the situation properly, so he certainly had merit. Considering that he had just been granted the title of Marquis, he was only being promoted to the rank of commander, with an additional 100 households in the settlement (to facilitate your father's fight against the autumn wind).
In addition, Guo Hao and Qiao Zhongfu provided appropriate assistance and made great achievements. They each added a group of Jiedu envoys and two descendants of the Enyin family.
Wu Gong was officially promoted to the rank of General of the Imperial Cavalry Army, and was added to the rank of Sanguan Wujie Doctor.
Not to mention that Li Xiuzhi was detained on behalf of his father, which did not disgrace the state. Although he was observing filial piety, he was promoted to the position of Zhongshusheren in an exceptional manner, and he would take office directly after the expiration of his term.
But after all is said and done, the guilty will naturally have their turn. Although Tang Huai also persuaded Li Xianggong not to be impulsive this time, he failed to persuade him, and it caused serious consequences. Not only was he demoted to deputy governor.
And just like Zhang Xian, he will be fined for one year, which will be reduced by grace.
Not to mention the main person responsible, Li Dao, was directly demoted to prepare to be sent to the Imperial Army to continue serving.
In addition, Zhang Xian was ordered to rectify the military discipline and combat effectiveness of the former imperial camp. This signal was very obvious. It depends on whether he can seize this golden opportunity.
After finishing all this, Zhao Guan's family once again announced that they would move to Taiyuan Prefecture on October 15th.
This issue of military-civilian relations really cannot be delayed any longer.
——Small Extra Theater——
The King's City
As the situation in the world changes, the centuries-old feud between Song and Liao has become a little tense. The harmonious life that they beat Zhao Ji together some time ago seems to be a dream, and everything is in vain.
Although Yelu Dashi is distantly related to the Liao emperors except Yelu Abaoji, his surname is Yelu anyway, so everyone has great expectations for him, no less than the Song Dynasty had for Zhao Jiu. Seeing that he was forced by Zhao Guan's family
At this point, it would be weird not to be angry.
But as for the Song Dynasty, since they had Zhao Jiu, they began to stop being timid. Saying 110,000 is also the unrest caused by your dishonesty and unauthorized robbery. We almost killed a prime minister here. This matter
How to calculate?
But we didn’t fight easily. First, we all had a common enemy, the Jin trio. Second, Zhao Fengguo, except for Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Guangyi, the rest were a bunch of rubbish. They couldn’t fight with the Emperor and Queen Mother of Liao.
.
More importantly, Song Yun privately advised Zhao Kuangyin, "Husband and concubine, I estimate that this matter will not lead to a big disaster. We still need to get along with each other. Don't make it awkward in the future because of a sudden attack, and also give others an opportunity." Song Yun advised Zhao Kuangyin in private.
Both sides of the Liao Dynasty have continuation.
Zhao Kuangyin then stopped his younger brother and his descendants. In fact, he thought too much. Without him taking the lead, others would not dare to move forward at all.
As for the Liao Kingdom, Shu Luping wanted to fight back, but Xiao Yanyan said: "My great-grandmother, although the emperors of the Song Dynasty are a bunch of pussies, they are still powerful now. It is easy for us to do it for a while. After all, Dashi has gone to the Western Regions. Can we
It’s still only five or five who came here. But with Zhao Jiu’s ability, it will not be a problem to pass it on to the Song Dynasty for several more generations, and he is not as an official in the Song Dynasty as before, so we can’t lose the big for the small.”
Both Yelu Abaoji and Yelu Deguang thought she was right.
Therefore, although the emperors of the Jin Kingdom and the Five Dynasties continued to provoke for their own interests, both Song and Liao actually maintained a certain degree of restraint and did not start a fight until the clouds cleared.
Song Zhenzong Zhao Heng said: "Xiaojiu is still like me. The Chanyuan Alliance is so good, why should we fight?"
Zhao Kuangyin was so angry that he wanted to hit someone, but Zhao Guangyi took a rare step forward and started to beat his son, "You are a shameful thing, you are not worthy of being compared with Xiaojiu."
Yelu Longxu, the Shengzong of Liao who was originally sent by his parents to make peace, looked at it and left quietly.
