Ma Kuo told Ximen Qing that the army has not yet assembled, and the people in the Xuanfu Department's yamen are busy promoting and attracting people from the Yanjing area of the Liao Kingdom to buy people's hearts.
Ximen Qing smiled and took out a list of articles, showed it in front of Ma Kuo, and asked him: "Brother Zichong, could this article be written by you?"
When everyone looked at it intently, they saw that the bulletin read: "The letter to the people of Yan:
The Youyan side was originally my territory, and it will last for several 200 years once it falls.On the other hand, the Han and the Tibetans are centrifuged, internal and external turmoil, the old lord is not destroyed, and the new lord is chaotic.
I mourn that this good man has suffered so much. The Secretary obeyed Fengrui's order and led a heavy army, which was close to the border for the second time.
The task of asking the crime is to save the people, not to kill, so you should all work hard to return to the plan as soon as possible.
Those who have officials will return to the old times, and those who have land will return to their jobs as before.
If you can lead a hero and make a difference, you will be honored and an official position, and you will be rewarded generously with gold and silk.
If one can come and go from one state to one county, that is to say, the state or county.
If a hero comes to offer Yanjing, he doesn't care about the army, soldiers and common people. Even if he doesn't order an official, he will give [-] guan and a large house to the Jiedu envoy.
But I am working hard, carrying the captives with one heart, and returning to Hanyong to protect the joy of prosperity.
The surrender of the Khitan tribes is also equal to that of the Han people.
Soldiers who have been commanded are not allowed to kill a husband, or become unconscious or disrespectful, so they should be dealt with differently.
In response to Khitan's own efforts, all horizontal restraints have been removed.
Although the soldiers entered the border, the price of all the food, grass and carts and cattle feet required by the Yan people did not make the Yan people ready, and they were still exempted from taxes for two years. "
Chapter 783 Instructing Ma Expansion
The bulletin that Ximenqing presented was exactly the bulletin that Taiwei Tongguan’s Hedong and Hebei Xuanfu Division sent people to infiltrate the territory of the Liao Kingdom and post it to the public. The Han soldiers and civilians were able to meet the king's division in the south and open the city to offer land.
This list can be seen everywhere, so Ma Kuo is not at all surprised that the well-informed Ximen Qing has the list.
Ma Kuo shook his head, and said to Ximen Qing with a wry smile: "Brother Ximen, you are flattering my younger brother too much. There are so many talents in the yamen of the Taiwei's Xuanfu Department, and it is not my turn to write this article!"
Ma Kuo told Ximen Qing that Zhao Liangsi had proposed this demagogic bulletin, and Liu Wei, a marching counselor from the Xuanfu Department in Hedong, Hebei Province, and Yu Wenxuzhong, a scholar from Zizheng Palace, had written it.
Hearing this, Ximen Qing tore the announcement into pieces, and said, "Zhao Liang's heir is poor in skills! Liu Kai and Yu Wenxu are no more than that!
Tong Taiwei wanted to let the Han'er from the North come back with just a list, how could it be so easy!
I think this land of Yan, the strong will win.If the imperial court is not prepared for a bloody battle, it will definitely suffer a big loss in the future!
Brother Ma Kuo, in my mind, you are much stronger than Zhao Liangsi, Liu Kai, and Yu Wenxuzhong.The war is coming, you have to be more careful! "
"My brother really praised my younger brother! Thank you for reminding me, my younger brother will definitely remember it in my heart."
While thanking Ximen Qing, Ma Kuo smiled wryly.
Brother Ximen's tone is really not ordinary. Liu Wei, the military counselor, and Yu Wenxuzhong, the senior scholar of the Zizheng Palace, said in his mouth, "It's just that?"
But after thinking about it, what kind of character is Brother Ximen?He was able to strategize and mobilize the soldiers and horses of the states to quell the chaos in Liangshanbo, and he was able to make friends with the royal family and nobles of the Jin Dynasty to help his father and son complete the mission of the court.
Brother Ximen's ability is indeed far inferior to those in the Xuanfu Department's yamen.
If Brother Ximen is willing to join the Xuanfu Office, then Taiwei Tong will really be even more powerful!
Ma Kuo thought that Ximen Qing hadn't told himself whether he wanted to help Tong Taiwei on this trip.So, Ma Kuo asked again: "Brother Ximen, now that the Song and Liao countries are at war, this Xiongzhou is next to the Liao state, so it is not a safe place.
Why did my brother come here? But to help Taiwei Tong? "
Ximen Qing smiled and said, "No! Brother Ma Kuo, I didn't come here for Taiwei Tong, I came to Xiongzhou just for you! The battle between Song and Liao is imminent, brother, I don't want to see you fall away in a daze head."
Ma Kuo was startled when he heard this, and hurriedly asked, "Why did my brother say that? But is there something wrong with my younger brother? I hope my brother can give me some advice."
"Brother Ma Kuo, in my opinion, Xuanfu Division's announcements are of little use to the Yan people.
In a few days, Taiwei Tong will send envoys to Yanjing City to recruit Yeluchun, the new emperor of the Liao Kingdom.In addition, envoys will also be required to secretly make friends with Han officials and powerful people who instigated the rebellion against Liao.
Brother Ma Kuo, in my opinion, the Han people in Yandi have no intention of going south, and Yeluchun will never surrender to Song Dynasty.
This first mission to the Liao Kingdom was full of dangers, and he could not escape death.Brother Ma Kuo should not volunteer to go to Liao.
If the Taiwei sends you there, you have to respect the court of the Liao Kingdom and don't cause trouble.Remember!Remember! "
Ximen Qing put away his smile, and solemnly instructed Ma Kuo.
Ximenqing knew how history would develop. Taiwei Tongguan's attempt to appease the Liao Kingdom would fail completely, and several bloody battles were inevitable.
Ximenqing still vaguely remembered that the envoys sent by Taiwei Tong were killed by the Liao Kingdom.Therefore, it is not a good job to go to Liao at this moment.
Although Ximenqing knew that Ma Kuo was an envoy to the Liao Kingdom in history, and finally saved himself from danger and returned to Tong Guan's side safely, but Ma Kuo himself didn't know it!
At this time, it is a matter of benefit and no cost to ask Brother Ma Kuo a few words.When things happen in the future as he said, Brother Ma Kuo still admires him so much?
"Thank you, brother, I've made a note of it."
Ma Kuo also responded solemnly.
Brother Ximen Qing didn't come here for Taiwei Tong, but cared about his own safety. This friendship is more important than Daishan.
"Brother, let's keep drinking!"
Ximen Qing greeted Ma Kuo, and exchanged cups with him for a drink.
Ximenqing and Ma Kuo agreed to keep a few confidants by Ma Kuo's side.But if Ma Kuo hesitated, he could send someone to contact Ximen Qing and ask for Ximen Qing's opinion.
In a word, when encountering difficulties in the future, just come to Brother Ximen Qing.
A few days after Ma Kuo had a secret conversation with Ximen Qing over wine, it was as Ximen Qing said that something happened to the envoy who was sent to Liao.
When Zhao Liangsi proposed to Tong Guan the strategy of uniting the Jin Dynasty and defeating the Liao Dynasty, he once said that the Han people in Yandi yearned for returning to the south just like him.
However, the announcement posted by the Xuanfu Division did not attract Yandi heroes to Nantou, Taiwei Tongguan couldn't help but have some doubts about Zhao Liangsi's statement.
Zhao Liangsi couldn't make a plan, so he had to bite the bullet and offer another plan.
Zhao Liangsi told Taiwei Tongguan that it was not that the Han people in Yandi had no intention of going south, but that they were under the surveillance of the Liao State and did not dare to go far, and could not get in touch with the Xuanfu Si Yamen in the Song State.
Now it is only necessary to send envoys to Yanjing in the name of going to Liao and negotiating with the Liao Lord. Along the way, there must be Han'er from Liao who secretly voted for the envoys of the Song Dynasty.
In this way, the envoys of the Great Song Dynasty could recruit and surrender all the way, persuade the people of Yan to vote, and win the Liao Kingdom without a fight.
Taiwei Tongguan adopted Zhao Liangsi's strategy and sent Zhang Bao and Zhao Zhong to the Liao Kingdom to recruit surrender secretly.
Unexpectedly, these two entered Yanjing City, but they were brought to the statues of the ancestors of Liao emperors by Yeluchun, the emperor of Liao Kingdom, and reprimanded them.
