No.15, the second prince of the Kingdom of Jin, 97 in military strength, 100 in politics, 94 in intelligence, and 98 in politics;

Wanyan Zongwang, whose real name was Wulubu, also known as Wolibu, was the second son of Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda.Zongwang often followed the Taizu on expeditions, often at his side, and made great achievements repeatedly.

Du Tonggao captured Zhongjing, and Wanyan Zonghan captured the Liao guard Xi Nilie in Bei'an Prefecture. When he learned that the Liao lord was in Yuanyangluo, Zonghan asked for orders to attack.When Gao left Qingling, more than 300 Liao soldiers robbed the surrendered family assets.

Zong Wang said: "If I catch these people, I can interrogate the situation where the Liao Lord is located." So he and Zong Bi led hundreds of cavalry to march.Most of the cavalry were tired, so he and the horse monk chased Yuelu, Bogu, Yelis and others alone, leaving one cavalry to urge the army behind, so they galloped to defeat the enemy and captured five people alive.Therefore, the interrogation found that the Lord of Liao was still in Yuanyangluo, which was undoubtedly true, so he entered the army.

Zong Han continued to speed up day and night, chasing the Lord of Liao until the Fifth Academy Division, but failed to catch up.Lou Shi and others chased Baishuiluo, and the Liao Lord fled to Yinshan.The Qin and Jin kings of the Liao Kingdom set up their thrones in Yanjing.The people of the newly surrendered state were not stable, so Gao sent Zongwang to invite Taizu to the army in person.

Zong Wang came to the capital, and hundreds of officials came to congratulate him.Jin Taizu said: "Zong Wang and more than a thousand cavalry traveled thousands of miles to hunt down the enemy invaders, and they should be commended." Jin Taizu entertained the officials at a banquet and was very happy.Zong Wangqi said: "Yunzhong has just been pacified, and there are still tens of thousands of Liao soldiers from all walks of life. The Lord of Liao is still between Yinshan and Tiande, while Neri has established himself as an emperor in Yanjing. The newly surrendered people, People's hearts are not stable, so the generals hope that His Majesty will come to the army." Jin Taizu said, "I am concerned about the army's expedition, and I have given you the planned plan. How can it be fully consistent with the wartime opportunities? I will set off in early June."

When they arrived in the southwest of Daluo, Gao sent Xi Yinzou to ask the tribes of the Southwest Recruitment Division to move to the interior.Jin Taizu turned to the officials and asked: "Which way should the migrating ministries take?" Zong Wang replied: "The central capital is ruined, and the food supply is not enough. It is better to go from the upper capital. However, the newly returned people suddenly became agitated. Those who surrender must have doubts and fears. The labor army is harmful to people and has lost too much." Shangjing is Linhuang Mansion.Jin Taizu then conveyed Zongwang's suggestion and ordered the military commander to consider acting at an appropriate time.

Capture the Liao Emperor
Jin Taizu heard that the Lord of Liao was in Dayulo, and personally led 1 elite soldiers to attack.Pu Jianu and Zongwang led 1000 soldiers as the vanguard, traveling day and night, and most of the horses were tired. When they caught up with the Liao Lord at the Stone Chariot Station, there were only 5000 soldiers, and the Liao army still had [-] people.As the fort was being built, Pu's slaves discussed strategies with the generals.Yeluyu said: "Our army has not yet assembled, and the men and horses are very tired, so we cannot fight."

Zong Wang said: "Now that I have caught up with the Lord of Liao, but I don't attack in time, it will be too late when he escapes after the sun sets."The Lord of Liao thought that Zongwang would fail if he had few soldiers, so he and his concubines came down from the high earth mountain to the flat ground to watch the battle.Yu Jian showed the instructions to the generals and said, "This is the canopy of the Liao Lord's banner. If you gather together and rush over, you can achieve your goal."

The cavalry galloped past, the Lord of Liao was shocked when he saw it, and then fled, and the Liao soldiers were defeated.Zongwang and others returned to the army.Taizu said: "The Lord of Liao is not far away, so hurry up and pursue." Zong Wang led more than 1000 cavalry in pursuit, followed by Pu Jianu.

Taizu had pacified Yanjing, Wulu served as the capital, Zongwang served as the deputy capital, and attacked the Liao Lord among the green tombs.Zongwang, Lou Shi, and Yinshu can lead three thousand troops to attack in separate ways.When approaching Qingzhong, the army encountered a muddy road and could not move forward.Zongwang and the four cavalrymen from Danghai tied Lin Yadashi, the capital of the Liao Kingdom, with ropes, and asked him to act as a guide until they arrived at the Liao Lord's camp.

At that time the Lord of Liao went to Yingzhou, all his concubines were terrified to run away when they saw the enemy soldiers approaching, Zong Wang ordered his men to catch them.Soon, the army behind arrived.The concubine of Huluwa, the great uncle of the Liao Kingdom, the second concubine of King Neri, the Han lady of the Liao Kingdom, and their sons King Qin and King Xu, Nu Guyu, Yu Liyan, Oriyan, Da Oune, and Ci Ouye , Concubine Zhao, Oriyan, recruited Di Liu, carefully stabilized Liu Jin, Jiedu envoy Bodie, Chi Gou'er, etc., all surrendered.More than 1 vehicles were seized.Only Liang Wang Yali and his eldest daughter escaped during the chaos in the army, and Lou Shi and Yinshu could get his left and right carriage tents.The army marched to Saolimen, and Zong Wang wrote a letter to recruit the Lord of Liao to surrender.

The Lord of Liao came back from Jincheng and learned that all his clansmen and subordinates had been captured, so he led more than 5000 troops to the decisive battle.Zong Wang defeated him with a thousand soldiers.The Lord of Liao fled away at a distance of one hundred paces.Zong Wang captured the Liao Lord's son Zhao Wang Xi Nilie and his followers and Chuan Guo Yuxi.After chasing for more than 20 miles, they all got the horses that followed him, while Zhaoli, Temo, Hubalu, and Beida also got [-] herding horses and [-] carts.Presenting the Chuan Guoxi to the place where the emperor was, Taizu said: "This is the merit of the ministers." So he put the jade seal in his arms, faced the east and respectfully thanked heaven and earth, and carefully recorded the achievements of the generals and awarded them.

The Lord of Liao then sent Moluwa to ask for surrender with the golden seal of rabbit button.Zong Wang accepted the gold seal, and the words on it were "Marshal Yan King's seal".Zong Wang wrote again to recruit him, telling him about Shi Jin's move to the north.

Later, envoys were sent to tell Xixia to express their reconciliation, thus dispelling their hesitation in rescuing Liao.When Zongwang came to Tiande, Yelu Shensi of Liao Kingdom surrendered.When the waiter Wu Shi came back, he said that the Xixia people had greeted and escorted Lord Liao across the great river.Zongwang passed the call to Xixia and said: "If you really want to join us, you should send the Lord of Liao here according to the previous order. If you hesitate to rebel, I'm afraid you will regret it." Qin Wang and others who went to Liao Kingdom were captured When he came to see Taizu, Taizu rewarded Zongwang's contribution and gave Yu Liyan, the Princess of Shu of Liao Kingdom, as his wife.

Anbang settles the country.

Yan Mu fought with Zhang Jue and was defeated at Tu'er Mountain.Emperor Taizong of the Jin Dynasty sent Zong Wang to inquire about the military situation, and then led his mother's army to attack Zhang Jue and make the counties and counties along the coast surrender.Zong Wang then fought with Zhang Jue in the east of Nanjing.Zhang Jue was defeated and fled to the Song Dynasty at night.The people in the city caught Zhang Jue's father and his two sons and brought them to offer sacrifices. Zong Wang killed them.He had the edict read to Zhang Dungu and others in the city, asking them to leave the city and surrender. He also sent envoys to the city with Zhang Dungu to collect weapons.The people in the city killed the envoys, made Zhang Dun the governor, looted the treasury, plundered the residents, and defended the city.

Taizong rewarded Zongwang's achievements in defeating Zhang Jue and the meritorious soldiers, and the rewards were different.

At first, Zhang Jue fled to the Song Dynasty and entered Yanjing. Zong Wang accused the Song people of accepting rebels and expropriating military rations.After not hearing any news for a long time, Zong Wang wanted to write a letter to urge him, requesting to be given a thousand empty names and publicity heads, to issue additional letter cards, and to appease the newly attached people.Taizong issued an edict: "The newly returned officials and staff should remain as usual. All roads have been ordered to transfer military supplies and not to supervise the Song Dynasty. They will be given ten silver medals and an empty name of fifty. As for the migration of Qian, Run, Lai, and Xizhou, Those who go to Shenzhou should resume their original occupations when the farming work is completed." He also ordered Xianzhou to deliver corn to Zongwang's army.

Zhang Dungu sent [-] soldiers into four teams to fight, and they were defeated.Zongwang sent orders repeatedly, and Zhang Dungu and others said: "I have resisted many times, but I dare not come and surrender." Zongwang allowed them to bow down to the Que gate from a distance.Zhang Dungu opened a city gate.Zongwang asked the mother-in-law to report this matter, so Emperor Taizong issued an edict to pardon the officials and people in Nanjing, regardless of the degree of guilt, and the officials' official positions remained the same.In addition, the relevant departments were ordered to reduce corvee taxes and encourage farming. All matters on the frontier were decided by Zongwang.Taizong said again: "It was discussed that Zhang Jue and his fugitive household registration should be obtained from Song State.

I heard that the grain harvest has not been bumper in recent years. If the collection is based on the previous standard, I am afraid that the people will be short of resources, so the tax should be collected based on the amount of grain.If there are people in the shooting army who are willing to be civilians, let them restore their status as farmers.Big and small things should be explained to the military commander, and don't upload them to the court without authorization. " Taizong issued an edict to Zongwang and said: "Choose meritorious, capable and popular people to serve as Nanjing left-behind and various vacant official positions, and you must write down your name and rank in the newspaper. At this time, there were a lot of residents from the four prefectures of Qian, Run, Lai, and Xi who surrounded the mountains to protect the village. Zongwang asked to select good officials to recruit, and Taizong agreed.

Taizong summoned Zong Wang into the palace, and Yan Mu conquered Nanjing. The soldiers captured Zhang Dungu, the commander of the puppet capital, and killed him. Nanjing was pacified.Madam Mu rushed to the capital.At this time, Zong Han requested not to cede the territory of Shanxi to the Song Dynasty, and Oru also said the same.Yan's mother commented in the memorial that the Song Dynasty had a precedent of violating the covenant and had to be on guard against it.When Zongwang's army returned, Taizong said: "Collect annual coins from the Song Dynasty and distribute 20 taels of silver and 30 bolts of silk to your army and the six armies in Tokyo."

When Zong Wang arrived at the army, three thousand Song soldiers came from the sea, broke through nine camps, killed the governor of Macheng County, Jiedu Envoy Du Lu, seized his silver medals, weapons and horses before leaving.Zong Wang asked for household registration, but the Song people refused to grant it. Moreover, he heard that Tong Guan and Guo Yaoshi were training troops in Yanshan.Zong Wang asked the emperor to attack the Song Dynasty, saying: "If the Song Dynasty is not pacified first, I am afraid it will become a trouble in the future." Zong Han also said the same.Therefore, the strategy of attacking the Song Dynasty actually started with Zong Wang.

Command troops to attack Song Dynasty
Zongwang served as the governor of Nanjing Road, and his mother was the deputy governor, and went to attack the Song Dynasty from Yanshan Road.Zong Wang said: "Jamma is my uncle to me, please Your Majesty appoint Jiamu as the governor, and let the ministers supervise the war."

Taizong agreed to let Zongwang supervise the battle situation of the two armies of Yanzong and Liu Yanzong.When Zongwang came to Sanhe, he defeated Guo Yaoshi's 7 soldiers at Baihe, Pu Cheng defeated [-] Song soldiers at Gubeikou, and Guo Yaoshi surrendered.Then he captured Yanshan Prefecture and captured all the enemy's weapons, as well as [-] horses, [-] pieces of armor, and [-] soldiers.

Since Guo Yaoshi surrendered, the Jin army knew more about the true and false situation of the Song Dynasty.Zong Wang requested that Pharmacist Guo be allowed to serve as the left-behind guard in Yanjing.After Dong Cai surrendered, the Jin army had a better understanding of the geographical conditions of the Song Dynasty.Zong Wang asked Dong Cai to take charge of military affairs.Taizong rewarded them all with the surname Wanyan and gave them gold medals.

So the Song Dynasty ceded the three towns of Taiyuan, Zhongshan, and Hejian, and used the uncle-nephew etiquette in writing letters to take Kang Wang Zhao Gou and Dazai Zhang Bangchang as hostages.Shen Hui came to the army with the oath document and the map of the three towns. He paid the annual coins and ceded the land in accordance with the covenant.On the first day of February, he made peace with the Song Dynasty and retreated to Mengyang.That night, Yao Pingzhong's 40 troops came to attack.

The reconnaissance cavalry discovered that Zong Wang sent his generals to attack, defeated Yao Zhongping's army, attacked Bianzhou City again, and questioned them about the crime of raising troops.Song Qinzong was very panicked and sent Yu Wenxuzhong to plead: "I didn't know about this at the beginning, and now I have to punish him." Zong Wang stopped attacking and took Su Wang Zhao Shu as a hostage, and Kang Wang Zhao Gou put it back.

When the army returned, the two towns in Hebei could not be captured, so Zong Wang sent troops to attack.Zongwang withdrew the Changsheng Army, returned the property of Yanren Tanaka, and ordered the soldiers to be stationed in Ansu, Xiong, Ba, Guangxin and other prefectures.Zong Wang returned to Shanxi.Soon, he served as the right deputy marshal, and the meritorious soldiers were rewarded with different promotions.

Zongwang assigned generals to guard Hebei.Dong Cai surrendered the Guangxin Army and nearby counties and towns.Zongwang then went west to Liangxing.Emperor Taizong ordered Zongwang to say: "Since the north of the Yellow River, it has now been divided. I deeply think that some people resist the order and stick to it because they saw the city being destroyed. The order was sent to recruit them to appease and protect them. If they insist on not changing, naturally There is going to be a conquest.

If anyone in each army dares to capture and plunder for personal gain, or to destroy wantonly, he should be punished. "In that month, Zong Wang passed away.
