One Piece of Song Dynasty

Chapter 231 Song Army’s 2nd Northern Expedition (23)

Zhao Yun said: "Of course I know, but I still decided to save you. Of course, General Wang can't go back to the Song Dynasty for the time being. Even if I send someone to send you back, it will be to a certain adult, and I won't let you." Go back to the court."

Wang Qi asked: "Why?"

Zhao Yun replied: "Because you shouldn't have sacrificed here in vain. There are more important things waiting for you to do in the future."

Wang Qi then asked: "What's the matter?"

Zhao Yun asked back: "Does General Wang think it is reliable for the imperial court to unite with Jin to conquer Liao?"

Wang Qi shook his head and said, "I don't know either."

Zhao Yun said: "General Wang must have known that the Jin army had captured four of the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom, and only the Yanjing area was left. However, it was so laborious for the imperial army to defeat Yanjing. They had already attacked it in the past few months. It failed once. If it fails again this time, the incompetence of the imperial army will be completely exposed in front of the Jin Army. When the Jin Army destroys the Liao Kingdom, General Wang thinks how the Jin Kingdom will deal with the Song Dynasty in the colorful world of the Central Plains. "

Wang Qi broke out in a cold sweat. Zhao Yun looked at him and continued: "So General Wang knows why he saved you."

Wang Qi nodded and said: "Brother Zhao, Wang knows. Don't worry, Brother Zhao. As long as Brother Zhao lets you go, you will definitely fight hard in the future war against gold. Of course, you will also keep your secrets strictly."

Zhao Yun waved his hand and said: "Brother Wang, needless to say, I will not put you back to the court. When you are almost healed, I will send someone to send you to a certain adult and let him arrange your affairs. .”

Wang Qi said excitedly: "Brother Zhao, you don't trust me, so you might as well kill me with a knife."

Zhao Yun comforted Wang Qi and said: "General Wang, don't be excited. It's not that I don't trust you. It's actually been hard for us in the Liao Kingdom for more than three years to have the opportunity to enter the Jin Kingdom's sphere of influence. We can't give up. This also concerns many of us." life, we have to treat it with caution.”

Wang Qi sighed: "Okay, I know, I just follow your arrangements."

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "Okay, then please ask General Wang to write down where your family lives. An adult from a certain family will send someone to pick them up in advance, so that when General Wang passes by, they can be reunited with their families. "

Wang Qi thought for a while and said, "Okay, I'll write it now."

After Wang Qi finished writing, he handed it to Zhao Yun. After reading it, Zhao Yun said, "General Wang, please take a good rest and recuperate."

Zhao Yun came out of the house and told Huzi: "Huzi, watch out for General Wang. He can only move around in this courtyard and cannot leave this courtyard. Except for our people, he cannot be allowed to come into contact with any other outsiders. I will go to a certain place now." Go to Commander Liang's place."

Huzi cupped his fists and said, "Yes, deputy commander."

Soon Zhao Yun arrived at Liang Xing's place. Liang Xing saw Zhao Yun coming and said, "Brother Zhao, what happened to the general you rescued?"

Zhao Yun replied: "I'm awake now. I've checked with the doctor. Fortunately, the injuries are not to any vital parts. I'll just rest for a while."

Liang Xing asked: "Have you figured out this person's identity?"

Zhao Yun nodded and said: "It's already clear. This person's name is Wang Qi, and he is a subordinate of General Yang Keshi of the Western Army. Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi are the commanders of the attack on the imperial army of Xijin Mansion."

Liang Xing wondered: "Since it is led by the generals of the Western Army and the surrendered generals of the Liao Kingdom, the arrangement should not be so stupid. There is not even a person to respond."

Zhao Yun said: "This matter has been clarified. It's not that they didn't make arrangements. I heard from Wang Qi that before they set off, they had made an agreement with Liu Yanqing and his son, the commander-in-chief of the imperial army, to have them come for reinforcements when they break into Xijin Mansion."

Liang Xing asked: "Why didn't the reinforcements come?"

Zhao Yun sighed: "I heard from Wang Qi that General Yang and Liu Yanqing and his son usually have a bad relationship, and General Yang also had a conflict with Liu Guangshi some time ago. I guess this is the reason."

Liang Xing snorted coldly: "You come back at this time and are still scheming. Liu Yanqing and his son really deserve to die."

Zhao Yun handed a piece of paper to Liang Xing and said: "This has the specific address of Wang Qi's family. Send it to your Majesty and ask him to verify the authenticity and pick them up. When Wang Qi's health gets better, he will be sent to your Majesty." There, let the adults arrange for him."

Liang Xing nodded and said: "Okay, since we have rescued him, we will definitely not be able to let him go back to the court. I will inform you about this as soon as possible."

Just when Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi withdrew from Yanjing, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo had just arrived at Chaogu Village in Daizhou. From then on, if you go north, you have to cross the border and enter Yingzhou, which is the area controlled by the Jin Army.

After Emperor Tianzuo fled to Jiashan, he secretly sent people to Xixia to request support. Not long ago, Xixia sent troops to help Emperor Tianzuo attack the Jin army in an attempt to regain the Tiande army. The Jin army's capital Tongxie also sent generals Yin Shuke and Lou Shi to lead cavalry to engage in a fierce battle with the Xia army at Amoshui, defeating the Xia army. At that time, it was raining in autumn, flash floods broke out, and the rivers swelled. Countless Xia soldiers and horses drowned.

After that, the Jin army followed the edict of Jin Taizu. On the one hand, they herded their horses and stopped their troops. On the other hand, they paid close attention to the movements of Emperor Tianzuo and the Song army's actions in Hebei.

At present, Jin Taizu personally led tens of thousands of soldiers to garrison in the east of Fengshengzhou, Zonghan and Xiyin garrisoned in the south of Yingzhou, Yinshu Ke and Lou Shi garrisoned in the west of Hongzhou, and the three armies formed a perfect shape.

Zong Han camped on a mountain in the south of Yingzhou. Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo came to the military camp that day to visit Zong Han. Zong Han warmly entertained them. The next day, Zong Han ordered Xi Yinquan to pick up the envoy and sent cavalry to escort Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to Fengsheng Prefecture to meet the emperor. Zong Han only allowed Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo to each bring one servant, and the other personnel had to stay in Zong Han's army.

Four days later, Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo came to Fengsheng Prefecture to present their credentials and pay homage to Jin Taizu. The next day, in a large felt tent, Jin Taizu's cousin Pu Jianu formally negotiated with Zhao Liangsi on behalf of the Jin Kingdom.

Pu Jianu said: "Last year, our country sent envoys to your dynasty to discuss the two armies' attack on the Liao Kingdom. At that time, our troops and horses had already been assembled and we could set off just waiting for the envoys to come back. But I didn't expect that you would stay with me. The envoy from the DPRK stayed here for more than half a year, and you didn't even send the envoy back. You only sent a piece of paper to order the soldiers to cross the sea. This clearly means breaking up. Let's not talk about this, let's talk about the flanking attack. Our own soldiers The horse has arrived in Zhongjing in the first month of this year. Why didn't you come to attack our country at that time? We sent troops in November last year and arrived in Zhongjing in the first month of this year and Xijing in February. Now half a year has passed and we have suffered a lot of hardships, but your dynasty has just arrived. Send troops in May. You broke your promise by not sending an envoy last year. Even if you send troops this year, you still fail to keep the promise. Therefore, the original maritime agreement has actually been abandoned by you. However, our emperor knows that Emperor Zhao is sincere and cannot bear to sever ties with you. friendly relations with North Korea. After Yanjing is pacified, we will discuss whether to give you Yanjing or not. At that time, we will have temporary discussions. Now that Xijing has been pacified, we will return Xijing to your dynasty. You can send troops and horses to Yingzhou for delivery. .”
