Finally, Zhan Du threatened that it was rumored that Zhang Jue was secretly preparing to unite with several surrounding counties and wanted to take advantage of the chaos to capture Yanshan Mansion.Great Song Dynasty has millions of troops, you are not the opponent of Great Song Dynasty, so don't bring yourself to be humiliated.
Zhang Xingyou quickly stated that the Pingzhou Army had a sincere heart towards the Song Dynasty and had no intention of attacking Yanjing.Such speculative news may be the spies of the Jin Army trying to sow discord.
After showing his loyalty, Zhang Xingyou hurried back to Pingzhou.
Zhang Jue was overjoyed when he heard that the Song Dynasty was willing to make him a Jiedu envoy and let him continue to rule Pingzhou, so he wrote a letter of surrender and sent it to the Xuanfu Department of Xiongzhou.
After reading Zhang Jue's seal, Zhan Du didn't dare to take the initiative to accept the Pingzhou rebels, so he sent someone to report to the court urgently, asking Song Huizong to make a decision.
At the same time, Zhan Du told Zhang Jue not to act rashly, for fear that Jin Guo would learn about the activities of the Pingzhou rebels and Song Dynasty.
At this time, Zuo Qigong and others had already fled to the Kingdom of Jin under the escort of Ximenqing, and the emperor of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Aguda, also learned the news of Zhang Jue's rebellion in Pingzhou.
Wanyan Aguda sent his brother Wanyan Jiamu, who was stationed in Zhongjing Road, to lead [-] cavalry to Pingzhou Xingshi to inquire about his crimes, but was rejected by Zhang Jueshuai at the foot of Yingzhou City.
Wanyan's mother sent troops to send the imperial edict of Emperor Wanyan Aguda to the cities of Pingzhou and Yingzhou to recruit Zhang Juejun to surrender.
The imperial edict said: "I temporarily lived in Yanjing to reward you Pingzhou officials and people for being the first to surrender, so I promoted Pingzhou to the government and made it the Nanjing of the Great Jin Kingdom. At the same time, I reduced your corvees and reduced your taxes.
I have been kind enough to you, why bother to be traitors again?
I could personally raise a large army to attack Nanjing, but it is the busy farming season, and the common people are unable to farm together with swords and soldiers.
I can't bear to endanger the people of Nanjing because of a villain, so I stand still for the time being. I hope you understand what I mean.
What's more, the whole Liao Kingdom is owned by our Dajin, so what can you do if you defend yourself alone?
Although Nanjing rebelled, I only punished the chief culprit, and the rest of the soldiers and civilians were also released and not prosecuted.I hope you rein in the precipice and surrender as soon as possible. "
Although Wanyan Aguda's imperial edict was both kind and powerful, Zhang Jue had been entrenched in Pingzhou for many years, and his subordinates were all confidantes. Therefore, the officials and people in Pingzhou and Yingzhou did not affect the call of the Kingdom of Jin to offer the city to surrender.
Wanyan's mother had few soldiers, so she was not prepared to attack the city.Seeing that Yingzhou was guarding behind closed doors, he had to lead his troops back.
Before leaving, Wanyan's mother ordered someone to write on the gate of Yingzhou City: "Let's go in summer and come back this winter." Afterwards, the Jin army left.
Zhang Jue saw that Wanyan's mother retreated without a fight, and immediately reported it to the Song Dynasty as a great victory in Yingzhou, so as to invite credit and reward.
Hearing that Zhang Jue repelled the famous Jin army general Wanyan Yanmu, Song Huizong's monarchs and ministers couldn't help but pay more attention to Zhang Jue.
There was a lot of controversy within the court about whether to accept Jiangping Prefecture.
Zhao Liangsi and others believe that the State of Jin has repeatedly told the Song Dynasty that Pingzhou and other places cannot be given to the Song Dynasty. Now if the Song Dynasty recruits and rebels and takes back Pingzhou, it is an unjust act of betrayal of the alliance and will turn against the State of Jin.It is not a wise choice to offend the powerful state of Jin for Yipingzhou.
However, Wang Anzhong, the Xuan Fu envoy of Yanshan Prefecture who presided over the overall situation in Yanshan Prefecture, believed that the imperial court should accept Pingzhou.
It turned out that Zhang Jue's think tank, Li Shi, a scholar of the Imperial Academy of the Liao Dynasty, had changed his name to Li Anbi, and secretly entered the city of Yanjing with a few survivors of the Liao Kingdom, and asked to see Wang Anzhong, the envoy and magistrate of Yanshan Prefecture.
Li Anbi boasted to Wang Anzhong that Pingzhou under Zhang Jue's command had an army of [-] inside, and there were natural and dangerous terrain outside, which was enough to resist the attack of the Jin Kingdom.If the Song Dynasty takes back Pingzhou, it will be difficult for the Jin army to cross Yanshan Mountain to attack the Song Dynasty, and the north will have no worries from now on.
Li Anbi also said that if the Song Dynasty did not want Pingzhou, then Zhang Juejun in Pingzhou would be loyal to Emperor Tianzuo of Liao.Together with Zhang Jue, Xiao Qian in the north, and Emperor Tianzuo in the west, the remnants of the Liao Kingdom will seriously threaten the border of the Song Dynasty.
In fact, Li Shi, a Hanlin scholar, and now Li Anbi's allegiance is to the Liao Kingdom.He made suggestions for Zhang Jue and helped him rebel against the Jin in order to split the Jin Kingdom and revive the Daliao.
Now Li Anbi and several remaining ministers of the Liao Kingdom are lobbying for Zhang Jue in front of Wang Anzhong. Their real purpose is to use Pingzhou as a bait to lure the Song Dynasty into the bait.They hoped to use Pingzhou to provoke the relationship between Song and Jin, so that Song and Jin would break the contract and go to war, and give Emperor Tianzuo a chance to take advantage of the chaos to restore the country.
Li Anbi is worthy of the reputation of being resourceful and resourceful. He is alone between Zhang Jue in Pingzhou and the court of the Great Song Dynasty, trying to set off a storm in this land of Yan.
Wang Anzhong didn't know the aspirations of these Liao survivors in front of him to restore the country, but thought that what Li Anbi and others said was very reasonable.
Therefore, Wang Anzhong Shang Zhezi supported the recovery of Pingzhou, and sent people to escort Li Anbi to Bianliang City, Tokyo to meet Song Huizong and other ministers, and report the situation in Pingzhou face to face.
I don't know if Li Anbi and Xiao Qian had colluded secretly, or it was a pure coincidence. When Li Anbi and others went to Bianliang City in Tokyo, Xiao Qianjun suddenly showed his minions to Da Song.
Chapter 851 Song Huizong's Sending Proposition
After learning that Zhang Jue in Pingzhou had rebelled against the gold, Xiao Qian on Lulongling believed that the opportunity to counterattack Yanjing had come, so he led the army south out of Lulongling, broke through Jingzhou guarded by the Song army, and killed Jingzhou. The magistrate Liu Zihe sentenced Yang Borong and formally declared war on the Song army.
Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren, the Changsheng Army stationed in Jizhou City, were ordered to block Xiao Qian's army.The two armies met in Shimen Town, an important throat between Jingzhou and Jizhou, and a great battle broke out.
As a result, Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren's troops were defeated, and they broke through and fled to Yanjing City.
Xiao Qian's army took advantage of the momentum and attacked Jizhou again. Gao Gongfu, the prefect of Jizhou, was short of major generals, so he had to abandon the city and flee.
During the ten-month period, they went down to two prefectures, and the military power of Xiao Qianjun in Xi State was greatly boosted, and the soldiers pointed directly at Yanjing City and Tanzhou City.
People in the entire Yanjing area were in panic, and rumors abounded.Some people spread secretly that Emperor Xi Xiaoqian wanted to punish the treacherous Song Dynasty in order to avenge Daliao.This time Xiao Qian not only wanted to regain the land of Yan, but also went south to cross the Yellow River and fight straight to Bianliang City in Tokyo.
Xiao Qianjun continued to send cavalry to harass the surrounding area of Yanjing City, so that the defending Song Army did not dare to leave the city.Those in Yan who were dissatisfied with the rule of the Song Dynasty also showed signs of responding to Xiao Qian's restoration of Yan.
Knowing that Xiao Qian's army was coming ferociously, the people in the court of Song Dynasty became violent for a while, and there were quite a few people who planned to abandon Yan.
Last year, the Song army was defeated twice by Xiao Qian's army, losing more than 20 elite troops from the Western Army. The Song Dynasty's civil and military officials always looked embarrassed when they mentioned Xiao Qian, and dared not compete with him.
A minister in the court offered advice and advice, saying that Xiao Qian's barbarian soldiers were so brave that they were no match for the Song army.The imperial court might as well give up the land of Yan to Xiao Qian temporarily, and make peace with him.
Xiao Qian and the Jin Army are mortal enemies. After he occupies Yanjing, he will definitely have a conflict with the Jin Army in the cloud.Da Song happened to watch the fire from the other side and reap the benefits.
However, Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty just pardoned the world to celebrate the recovery of the land of Yan, and he still carved stones on Longevity Mountain to record his merits. How can he give up the land of Yan now?
Song Huizong threw this hot potato to Taiwei Tongguan, who controlled the Western Army, and asked him to try to repel Xiao Qianjun.
After Tong Guan took command, while dispatching troops and generals, he transferred documents from the capital to Wang Anzhong of Yanshan Mansion, Zhan Du of Zhongshan Mansion, and Guo Yaoshi, etc., and gave them stern admonitions, asking them to guard Yanjing and organize an army to fight back Xiao Qianjun.
At this time, Taiwei Tongguan suddenly remembered something. Not long ago, he received a letter from Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou.
Du Chong warned him in a letter, saying that after the Jin army withdrew, Xiao Qian's army would definitely invade Yanjing in the south.
Unexpectedly, Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou, guessed it right again!
Tong Guan remembered that when the Song army defeated Xiongzhou City last year, it was Du Chong who sent troops north to encircle Wei to rescue Zhao, led the Liao army away, and solved the siege of Xiongzhou.
It seems that Du Chong is really a talent with both civil and military skills!
To the north of Cangzhou, Hebei is Jizhou occupied by Xiao Qian's army. Today's Cangzhou City is in order and there is no riot. This is enough to show that the prefect Du Chong has long been prepared and is ready for Xiao Qian's army.
Tong Guan thought to himself, might as well use Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou, again this time, maybe he can turn the tide of the battle by surprise?
After making up his mind, Tong Guan ordered in the name of Hebei Xuanfu Division that the states on the East Hebei Road dispatch elite soldiers to the front line of Cangzhou, and listened to the control of Du Chong, the prefect of Cangzhou.
Tong Guan granted Du Chong the right to lead the army, let him lead the Hebei East Road Allied Forces, and wait for the opportunity to attack Xiaoqian in the north.
The magistrate Wang Anzhong, the appeasement envoy of Yanshan Mansion Road, gave a wry smile after receiving Taiwei Tongguan's order to fight back against Xiao Qianjun, feeling helpless.
After the Song Army bluffed and took over Yanjing City from the Jin Army, the Hedong Army and the Western Army returned to their stations one after another.Now the army under the jurisdiction of Yanshan Mansion, the Song army brought by Wang Anzhong and others is only [-], and the remaining tens of thousands are the ever-victorious army led by Guo Yaoshi.
Now the commander-in-chief of the Ever Victorious Army, Guo Yaoshi, has been summoned by the imperial court and rushed to Bianliang City, Tokyo because of his meritorious service in taking back the land of Yan.The generals Zhang Linghui and Liu Shunren who stayed in Yan Land were defeated by Xiao Qian again, but who could Wang Anzhong send against Xiao Qian?
Facing the arrogance of Xiao Qianjun, Wang Anzhong could only stick to the city of Yanjing while writing a letter to Taiwei Tongguan, asking the court to let the commander of the Changsheng Army Guo Yaoshi return to Yanjing as soon as possible to lead the army.
