The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The capture of Liaoyang Prefecture was actually not one of the goals of this battle to aid Goryeo, but Zhao Yong made a temporary decision. After defeating the Jin army to capture Helandian, he thought that most of the main forces of the Jin army were now annihilated, and the garrison in western Liaoning was weak.

The Song army suffered very little losses and was in full swing. The terrain of this area was flat, which was convenient for cavalry combat. It also had rich resources and dense population, so it was just right to take the opportunity to make a vote.

After Zhao Yong reported a new combat plan, he received a reply soon. The emperor considered that western Liaoning was the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom and had always been one of the important settlements of all Jurchen ethnic groups. He was attracted by the Jin Kingdom as his backyard. If he was stabbed, he would not only be able to do so.

It can have a deterrent effect, let the Jin Kingdom know that even their backyard is no longer safe, and that it is an important place for the Jin Kingdom to have a wealth and destruction, which can further damage the Jin Kingdom's economy.

Agreed with Zhao Yong's combat plan.

However, the emperor also set a principle for Zhao Yong. This battle mainly targets deterrence and harassment, destroying the Jin Dynasty's economy as its goal, and constantly seizing land. The Liaoyang Prefecture is 700 miles away from Baozhou, and it has penetrated deep into the heart of the Jin Dynasty.

The lonely army is easily cut off by the enemy's way back and falls into a siege. Therefore, the entire battle is quick and decisive for one month. Before the weather warms up and the snow melts and ice opens, the Jin army team retreats to the Yahuo before they arrive.

The south bank of the river to avoid major losses.

After approval, Zhao Yong launched the second phase of the battle, dispatched three generals' imperial guards, led by the 5,55-nation army to attack north along the main road, and made rapid progress and successfully attacked Liaoyang Prefecture. They destroyed the local government of the Jin Dynasty along the way.

The robbery of the treasury carried out devastating attacks on local tyrants and Jurchen nobles, confiscated their property, liberated the captured Han slaves, and created enough momentum, but in general, they were still restrained.

However, the five ministries, both Jurchen tribes, do not have so many concerns. They are familiar with geography and people's conditions. They play a significant role in the battle, and what is more important is that they are bad at hand. Anyone who refuses to surrender has a slight leniency.

Especially the tribes close to Wanyan tribe were cleansed by them. All the tribes, young and old, were slaughtered and all their property was taken away. Wherever they passed, corpses were often everywhere. Blood flowed into rivers, fires soaring into the sky, and everyone's

The horses were covered with property, and the horses were tied up in strings of prisoners, which were their spoils.

Although Zhao Yong knew that the wanton burning, killing and looting of the five countries would have a negative impact on the Song army, he also had to understand that the Wanyan tribe treated other tribes in this way, and the Five countries did this way to do it with teeth and blood.

The emperor also issued a "decisive killing order" back then, killing all the Jin army that participated in the attack on Bianjing and did not accept surrender. Another advantage is that the bloody massacre of the five countries is still a deterrent effect.

I heard that they had arrived along the way. They either abandoned the city and fled, or opened the city and asked for surrender.

When the Song army captured Liaoyang City, it was presented to them with a treasure trove. It was originally one of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, close to the Liao River, with convenient water and land transportation, developed commerce, and prosperity. After the Jin Kingdom occupied it, it was because of the four places.

The war required a large number of weapons, so the mining and smelting industry kept Liaoyang prosperous. At the same time, a large number of people from the Central Plains who were captured were placed around the city. A large area of ​​wasteland was reclaimed, and after nearly twenty years of operation, it has become the Jin Kingdom.

The main grain producing area.

The development of land, the development of handicrafts and agriculture and the increase in population made Liaoyang prosperous. At the same time, as a material transit place for the conquest of Goryeo and the Southern Dynasties, a large amount of military supplies and food and money were stored in the city, but it was relaxed because it felt that it was located in the hinterland of the country.

Being vigilant led to the relaxation of military preparations. Being easily captured by the Song army became their spoils, which was a political and material harvest.

The battle was achieved after capturing Liaoyang City. The weather was getting warmer and it was time to take a handful and leave. Zhao Yong ordered people to send the acquired property and captured craftsmen back to Baozhou in batches, and those who were

Seeing that they were leaving, the people of the Song Dynasty also demanded their return. But Zhao Yong knew that he had gone alone, but because he caught the Jin army off guard, the battle was so smooth. At this time, the detective cavalry came to report that the Jin army had already been

Fighting from Jinzhou and Shangjing to Liaoyang, if he brought so many people with him, the speed would definitely be slow. If he was cut off by the Jin army, the consequences would be unimaginable, but these people were abandoned by the Song people and were uneasy.

Just when Zhao Yong was in a dilemma, the emperor's imperial edict had arrived, and the situation had changed now. He ordered him to divide his troops to defend Liaoyang. After the ice was gone, the navy reinforcements would arrive immediately. Now he couldn't leave, so Zhao Yong immediately summoned the generals to discuss.

Finally, Zhao Yong led the Lion General, the Leopard General and the remaining troops of the Five Kingdoms to escort materials and population back to Baozhou; the tiger general, the artillery brigade and the five Kingdoms to stay in Liaoyang City, commanded by the army supervisor Zhuge Hong, and was in the Jin Dynasty.

A nail is nailed to the belly!

..............

Zhao Qi suddenly changed his combat plan and ordered Zhao Yong to defend Liaoyang City. In fact, the reason is very simple, it was because of peace talks between the two countries. He saw that the Jin Dynasty proposed peace talks and Zhao Xie's "forced the palace" was obviously Wu Shu's trick, and they'd joined forces.

The monarch and ministers of the Song Dynasty were pushed to the moral judgement table, forcing them to accept peace talks. Of course, Zhao Qi was very uncomfortable.

Now the Song Dynasty is in an offensive position, and it is only a matter of time to conquer the Jin Kingdom. The peace talks with the Jin Kingdom are simply a joke, but an impossible thing actually made Wu Shu use a small trick and succeed. The Song Dynasty

The negotiations that had not yet begun were passive. But Zhao Qi was not willing to suffer losses. Since you gave me a punch, of course, don't blame me for kicking it back. He wants to win a game back so that the Song Dynasty can take the initiative again.

The negotiations between the two countries are nothing more than three aspects: the first is money, the second is land, and the third is status. Everyone talks about these bargaining, and the process is no different from doing business, but it is necessary to negotiate.

I have to look at my own capital. If I have no confidence in my pockets, I have not enough confidence. Now all aspects of the Song Dynasty have suppressed the Jin Kingdom. There are not many cards that can restrict the Song Dynasty. However, Zhao Qi holds enough ace in his hand.

It's not that easy to get a bargain.

Now that Wu Shu has made a move, Zhao Qiong has to accept it! He first played his first card, and he ordered the Dengzhou navy to go out to sea again, but this time the target is no longer Goryeo, but the two countries

In the fiercely contested Liaoyang Prefecture, as long as the place is in its own hands, there will be more bargaining chips. If you want to go back, you have to pay a price and cannot be returned in 'free'...

The Jin envoy who had been stranded in Pingzhou for many days learned that the Southern Dynasty emperor approved the peace talks and asked him to send his envoys to Kaifeng for discussions immediately returned to the country. Wushu immediately sent Xiao Yi, the Minister of Revenue, and Xing Juzhan, the Hanlin Assistant Commander, to come.

Song held negotiations. Wu Shu had already made a draft of the peace talks for this peace talks, just as Zhao Qi expected, it was about the three aspects of money, land and name.

Regarding the issue of status, Wu Shu did not dare to hope that the Song Dynasty would be the son emperor as before. He only hoped that the Southern Dynasties would agree to refer to the example of alliance with the Khitan and be called brothers. He sent people to the Jin Kingdom to take a look during the holidays.

The gifts you gave were satisfied. In terms of money, Wushu offered the opening ceremony of the Song Dynasty. He paid 100,000 taels of silver and 100,000 pieces of volume every year to the Jin Kingdom. This price was more than doubled than before. He thought it was big now.

Song Fu is so good that he will definitely not take this little money seriously, but the Jin Kingdom, which has a tight financial situation, can solve big problems. Of course, since he is a brother, he can no longer be called "Sui Gong". As for what name can he give it to him.

discuss.

The key issue is the land. Wu Shu had a lot of thought. He understood that the current military situation was very unfavorable to the Jin Dynasty. The Southern Dynasties not only regained the territory of the two countries before the war, but also all the old Central Plains lands south of the Great Wall were also taken into account.

, and even "occupied" a large area of ​​the Jin Dynasty. Now even the first big city of the Jurchens liberated by the Jurchens was snatched, and then went into the house to visit.

Wu Shu also thought that it would be impossible to let the Southern Dynasty spit out all the things they had eaten. It was even more unrealistic to use the Yellow River in the Old Testament as the boundary. So he thought of the earliest signing of the "Sea Alliance" between the two countries.

, divide the Central Plains by Yanjing. If you suffer some more losses, Yunzhou will give up Datong Prefecture to them with the Great Wall. Then you should return the Dading Prefecture and Linhuang Prefecture to the Jin Dynasty.

Shu thought about it for a long time and felt that his conditions were not too much. He made great concessions than the old contract signed with the Song Dynasty before. If Zhao Er did not accept it, it would be useless.

Then Wu Shu summoned Xiao Yi and Xing Juzhan to give him a face-to-face message and explained it to them that this mission must not be a disgrace to the mission and that they must try to reach a peace agreement. After hearing the lesson, the two of them rushed forward day and night in mid-March

Arrived in Kaifeng, but this time it was different. In the past, a small official from the Jin Dynasty came to the Jin Dynasty. The Song Dynasty sent a priest to greet him and treated him with a state gift. Only a servant from the Ministry of Rites brought them to Duting Post.

.

The envoy was also a snobbish person. He arranged a small courtyard for them to live in, and saw that the neighbors on both sides were envoys from the vassal states of the Song Dynasty. The envoys on the mission represented a country, and now the Song Dynasty is in charge.

It was no longer explained by the indifference that he arranged to live with the envoy of the vassal state. It was obviously embarrassing the Jin Kingdom, and treated the Jin Kingdom it represented as a vassal state. The two of them could only smile embarrassedly, and both felt that

This trip is not good.

The next day, Zhang Su, deputy envoy of the Song Dynasty peace talks, met with two Jin peace talks. Although they knew that it would be useless to say it, they still protested to the Song envoy on accommodation and handed over the letter of state. The two were thousands of yuan.

Unexpectedly, Deputy Envoy Zhang of the Song Dynasty refused to accept it and only told the two that they had not fulfilled their contracts to release the Liao King in the first two negotiations of the Jin Kingdom, so the negotiations must be sent back to the Liao King first, otherwise they would be exempted from negotiations...
