Are you crazy?Liangshan bandits became the backbone of the Han people

Yelu Yanxi waved his hand: "The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have been looted by us a long time ago. Even if it was given to him, it would be a barren land. What is there to worry about?"

"If you have the heart, you might as well think about how to defend the Kingdom of Jin. I didn't take those slaves seriously before. Who would have thought that they would become popular in just a few years. The Jurchens hate us to the bone. Wait until next year At the beginning of spring, they will definitely attack us."

Wu Yanguang took a deep breath, and couldn't help admonishing him: "Your Majesty, you may not know that Lin Yuan actually holds more grudges than the Jurchens!"

"We ruled the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun for hundreds of years, and many of them bullied those Han people or did other insults."

"If Lin Yuan stabilizes in Yanzhou, he will definitely lead his army to attack us. We must not wait until then."

"Before, tens of thousands of Liangshan soldiers could destroy 15 Jin soldiers, and their combat power is absolutely unmatched in the world."

"Now, he is only held back by Yanzhou's current predicament. Once Lin Yuan handles Yanzhou's affairs, he will be the first to attack us."

Hearing this, Yelu Yanxi interrupted him: "Even so, the Kingdom of Jin should be his primary goal. You must know that we are not bad. When we ruled the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, our ancestors really worked hard to manage this place. The prosperity of Yanzhou today."

"But the Jin people are different. Every time they go south to loot, burn, kill and loot, those Han people must hate them."

What Yelu Yanxi said was unreasonable.

However, Wu Yanguang took a longer view.

Since ancient times, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun have had a strategic position that cannot be ignored.

The entire land boundary is like a natural barrier across the north and south, directly separating several countries.

In the past, when this place was still in the Liao Kingdom, they could attack when they advanced, and they could defend when they retreated. They could go south and leave the Song Dynasty at any time.

But once the Yanyun Sixteen States no longer belong to them, they can only enter the Song Dynasty through Taiyuan Mansion if they want to go south.

According to reports from spies in the Song Dynasty, Lin Yuan had giant cannons, which were extremely powerful.

The terrain of Taiyuan Prefecture is rugged, and its city is tall and thick.

Once you choose to enter the Song Dynasty from Taiyuan Mansion, you will definitely face a tough siege battle.

At any time, siege warfare is not what these nomads are good at.

Therefore, the best choice is to take back Yanyun Sixteen States.

Thinking of this, Wu Yanguang's eyes showed a cold light.

When he ordered people to evacuate Yanyun Sixteen States, it was not that he did not leave behind.

I just hope it will come back one day.

Those people were all vassals of the Liao Kingdom before, and they received huge benefits when the Liao Kingdom ruled, and these benefits were not necessarily given to them by Lin Yuan.

Therefore, in comparison, the Liao Kingdom is their best choice.

At this time, a close servant stepped forward and handed Yelu Yanxi a secret security.

After he finished reading, his face was cloudy and uncertain.

After a long time, he handed the letter to Wu Yanguang, and said calmly: "This is your confidence to attack the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, but you never thought that you would be killed by others."

"Now, if we lead a large army to attack directly, how can we guarantee to capture Yanzhou?"

"Perhaps the Liangshan soldiers under Lin Yuan's command are unparalleled in combat strength, but I, Khitan Erlang, are by no means weak. No matter how bad it is, we can join forces with Goryeo to attack Lin Yuan."

"Now, it's better to get through this winter safely."

When Wu Yanguang saw what was written in the letter, he couldn't help but widen his eyes: "It's so possible, those people were all killed by Lin Yuan?"

"Yanyun and other places are now waiting for prosperity, and they are all counting on these noble gentry. How dare he really kill them?"

"Isn't he afraid of the collapse of various systems in the country?"

Yelu Yanxi shook his head, he also couldn't figure it out.

According to common sense, these wealthy gentry families are generally unmovable.

They control the vast wealth in the region, and they also operate various types of production. Once they are moved, it is easy to cause economic turmoil.

It's not worth it.

･･･ Ask for flowers ･･･

After the wish in his heart could not be realized, Wu Yanguang was ready to retreat.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Yanxi hurried forward and stopped him with a smile: "Since the business is over, we should relax a little bit. I bought some fine wine from the Western Regions a while ago. Why don't you drink fine wine with me, General?"

Wu Yanguang shook his head, excused himself from feeling unwell and retreated.

In the main hall, Yelu Yanxi shook his head regretfully: "It's such a good wine, I can only drink it alone!"

Walking out the door, Wu Yanguang looked back.

There were bursts of sadness in my heart.

Today's His Majesty is either drinking or hunting, and is extremely lazy about political affairs.

It is rare to think about state affairs today, but it also ends hastily.

"Ugh!"

"Your Majesty is like this, the people of the Liao Kingdom are not in harmony, how can we continue..."

……

In Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan's mother stood in front of the tent, staring in the direction of Yanzhou.

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

After escaping from Yanzhou, he quickly gathered his subordinates with the imperial decree, and at the same time bloodbathed many rebel tribes.

Fortunately, the Jurchens respect the strong.

After he showed his great strength and iron wrist, countless people soon supported him.

Not long after, he regrouped an army of [-] in Jin Kingdom, attacked Liao Kingdom all the way, and took several cities in a row.

It wasn't until the cold winter came that they stopped their offensive.

Just now, Gao Tancheng came over, thinking of reporting the news of Lin Yuan becoming king.

At the same time that Wanyan's mother was shocked, she became more and more in awe of Lin Yuan.

That's right!

He was already frightened by Lin Yuan's beating!

When he thought of the 15 golden soldiers buried in the Song Dynasty, he couldn't sleep or eat.

I'm afraid that when I wake up one day, I will hear the news of the Liangshan Army's northward march.

Gao Tancheng bowed slightly, and said from the side: "Now Lin Yuan won't attack for the time being, we don't have to worry about it."

Wanyan's mother nodded: "Although that's the case, you have to be careful. How about the matter that you sent people to sneak into Yanzhou?"

Hearing this, Gao Tancheng's face became weird.

"I don't know why, the people sent out by the minister, as soon as they entered the boundary of Yanzhou, they disappeared like a disappearance."

"My subordinates have heard that there seems to be something called an identity certificate over there. If there is no such thing, it will be difficult to move an inch after entering."

Wanyan Jiamu nodded: "If that's the case, then don't send any more people!"

"Let's think about it carefully, how to guard against Lin Yuan!"

The two looked into the distance sadly, and at some point, a snowflake fell on the two of them.

Gao Tancheng stretched out his hand, and the snowflakes melted in his palm.

He said in a concentrated voice, "It's snowing!"

Wanyan's mother said: "We don't have much time left!" Qian.

Chapter 416 Being in a high position and popular support is also a merit

drive!

The fast horse gallops along the official road. "Who is coming?"

Outside Yanzhou City, soldiers stopped him.

"Gentlemen, I am a soldier of the imperial court, please allow me to enter the city!"

The Song soldier on horseback said with a smile.

However, after hearing this, the soldiers guarding the city had normal expressions on their faces.

They looked at him calmly, and then whispered: "Wait here, I'll report to my superiors!"

After a while.

Zong Ze came outside the city, clasped his fists and said, "Since you are a soldier of Xuanzhi, please follow me into the city!"

The man followed Zongze into the city. It was different from what he had imagined. He thought that the people in Yanzhou were starving and beggars were everywhere. Who knew that people were busy walking on the street, and some people were still holding some papers. , look left and right.

Some people who don't know how to read ask other people for advice.

He asked puzzledly, "What are they doing? Why are so many people holding papers and looking anxious?"

When Zong Ze heard this, "[-]" laughed and said, "This is their job, and only by completing these tasks every day can we receive tomorrow's relief food."

As he spoke, he glanced at it.

"Forget it, let me tell you that you don't understand either. You have never lived in the border of Yanzhou, so you don't understand."

soon.

Zong Ze led him to Yanzhou government office.

After Lin Yuan received the imperial edict, he waved his hand to let the man go back, and the man also left contentedly.

Along the way, he heard a lot of gossip about Lin Yuan.

It is said that he kills like hemp, has a violent temper, and is extremely bloodthirsty.

Even human flesh is made into steamed buns, and several of them must be eaten each time.

This made him worry and fear all the way.

When I saw him today, Lin Yuan was extremely elegant, like the academicians of the Hanlin Academy in the court.

Both cultured and polite.

He shook his head, thinking of how busy the people of Yanzhou were, he left in doubt.

Lin Yuan watched the Song soldiers leave from the window, then got up and spread the imperial decree on the table.

Zhang Shuye and the others surrounded him with excitement.

Zhang Shuye said: "Great, now it's time to call you Prince!"

"This is a great happy event for our sixteen prefectures of Yanyun. I suggest that the whole world should celebrate together. Tomorrow, we will announce your appointment as king. In addition, let the people below prepare more meat and food, so that the people can have a good time." Huh!"

"only..."

As Zhang Shuye said, an intriguing look appeared on his face.

"Look at what the imperial decree says, the one in the court is still reluctant to take your throne, otherwise he wouldn't have deliberately given you such a title!"

"Throughout history, all titles of kings are nothing more than titles based on merit, such as King Dingbei, King Zhenbei, etc."

"Alternatively, you can use the feudal land as your title. According to my subordinates' understanding, since you have been conferred the title of "Parallel King", you should be named King of Yan based on the origin of the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun!"

"Who ever thought it would be like this."

Wu Yong stepped forward and said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, it doesn't matter whether he is the king of Dingbei or the king of Yan. As long as he has the domain, the master can make drastic changes. Even if it violates the legal system of the current court, no one can be opposed to."

Zong Ze respectfully said: "Counselor Wu is right. Now that the crowning of the king has been completed, can we fully implement what you said?"

Lin Yuan stood aside, hearing these words, his thoughts slowly drifted away.

No matter what, he still has certain expectations for Zhao Ji in his heart.

Unless it is a last resort, I really don't want to go to war with it.

Firstly, it wastes money and people, and secondly, all the casualties are compatriots.

What about this.

However, Zhao Ji's recent actions are not rare!

I don't know whether that person has enlightened or really changed his mind and decided to govern the world well.
