One Piece of Song Dynasty

The history of Jin Dynasty said: "On the first day of the tenth month, the generals were ordered to attack the Song Dynasty. Banbo Jiliegao, who was also the marshal of the capital, was transferred to Laibojilie Zonghan, who was also the deputy marshal of the left, as the vanguard, and Wanyan Xiyin, the military envoy, was appointed as the marshal. The Right Supervisor Army, General Yelu Yujian of Zuo Jinwu, was the marshal of Youdulin, and entered Taiyuan from Xijing. The commander-in-chief of the Liubu Route Army, Ta Laan, was the commander-in-chief of the Six-Bubu Route Army, and Xie Ye was his deputy. Zongwang was the commander-in-chief of the Nanjing Road, and Yan Mu was the deputy. Later, I learned that Liu Yanzong, a minister of the Privy Council and the commander of the Han army, entered Yanshan from Nanjing."

By November, the Jin army's military deployment was basically in place and was about to launch an attack on the Song Dynasty.

Although the Jin people had decided to send troops south to attack the Central Plains, they were still very careful before sending troops. They were "afraid of me and were prepared, and they knew that I would definitely want to be in the clouds, so they gave me many good words."

Zong Han sent an envoy to Taiyuan for this purpose. On the one hand, it can continue to paralyze the Song Dynasty, on the other hand, it can also be used to detect the military deployment of the Song Dynasty. "Little envoys are not envoys from the emperor's court, so they are called little envoys. They didn't exist in the past. They exist here. They are the ones sent by Zong Han to make Tong Guan."

Tong Guan obeyed the order and "acted urgently". He had not yet arrived in Taiyuan. When he reached Zhending, he met the subordinates sent by Zhang Xiaochun and the envoy of the Jin Kingdom. The young envoy from the Kingdom of Jin then paid a visit to Tong Guan and said: "China has violated the alliance, and this court is trying to punish the people. The prime minister and the second prince are not worthy of serving as military commanders. The emperor is very angry, and the gentlemen should stop thinking about the lives of the two countries. It is really unreasonable." I want to get it, so I sent you to make an appointment with the king, and you must sue him before you can get it."

Tong Guan was at a loss when he heard this and "didn't dare to question him." He forced himself to go to Taiyuan, and at the same time sent people back to Beijing to quickly mobilize horses to expand to Taiyuan.

On November , the seventh year of Xuanhe, Tong Guan arrived in Taiyuan, and Ma Kuo also arrived a few days later. On November , Tong Guan sent Ma Kuo and Xin Xingzong as envoys and deputy envoys to Yunzhong to meet Zonghan with the military letter of the Xuanfu Division. In name, they were going to discuss the land delivery in Yunzhong, but in fact they were asked to go Scout out whether the Jin army intends to invade.

Tong Guan said to them: "When I see Zong Han, let's stop arguing as a matter of courtesy and settle important matters. We only agree to hand over Wei and Ying prefectures and Feihu and Lingqiu counties. The rest of the land will be returned to the Kingdom of Jin. The concubines have been changed. , we are still exploring whether Zhizong Hanguo has any intention of invading the South."

When Ma Kuo walked to Ruyue Village in Daizhou, he received information that Zong Han had sent the Yisheng Army from Longde Prefecture to Changzhi, Shanxi, first out of Fanshi County boundary mountain road in Wutai Mountain; and sent Han Minyi, the Changjie Army from Yizhou, to escape. Wait, let's go out to Feihu and Lingqiu County Road first, the purpose is to find out the actual situation of the Song Dynasty's border defense.

Ma Kuo felt that this information was very important, so he immediately wrote a letter to Tong Guan with "interests and benefits" and asked Tong Guan to urgently dispatch troops and horses from various places to the border defense for "preparation", and sent someone to "rush to declare the letter" manage."

Ma Kuo and others continued to move forward, and when they reached the border between Song and Jin, the Jin troops guarding the border were not allowed to enter, saying that they could only enter with the order of the marshal. Ma Kuo had no choice but to wait at the border. A few days later, Zong Han's order came: "Only three people from the Song Dynasty are allowed to enter the country, and the rest are not allowed to cross the border."

After Ma Kuo arrived in Yunzhong, the Jin people asked Ma Kuo to perform the ceremony of court participation, which is the ceremony of kneeling down and worshiping. The last time Ma Kuo came to Yunzhong, Xi Yin had asked him to attend the court, but Ma Kuo flatly refused. But now, Ma Kuo remembered Tong Guan's instructions before leaving, so he had to compromise and solemnly pay homage to the clan with the ceremony of paying homage to Aguda. John.

Zong Han asked: "Let people carry out the orders of the imperial court and suppress the evil sent by the Xuanfu Division."

Ma Kuo replied: "Dispatched by the Xuanfu Division." Then he presented the military letter from the Xuanfu Division.

Zong Han looked at the military book and said: "Xuanfu Si Wen returned to the palace and didn't say anything else. Why should Er Chengxuan come to care about it?"

Ma Kuo replied: "It has been several years since the two dynasties came from the sea to have intercourse. The great sage, the late emperor of your dynasty, and this dynasty are bound by righteousness. If they are not satisfied with the Yuan treaty, your dynasty will cede the land of Yan back to Yan, and this dynasty will be able to live happily ever after." In exchange of gold coins, we all pledged to make peace forever. The front of the mountain has been handed over, and only the land behind the mountain is left. In the middle, Tong Taishi broke up, and Tan Xuanfu was temporarily handed over to Tan Xuanfu because he didn't know the beginning and the end, and because the shogunate was not a human being. , then there were irregularities. Now the Lord has deposed Tan Zhen and brought back the King Tong. Gai Wei and the Marshal and the Prime Minister have always advocated peace, and the common people have been easy to discuss. The king's affairs have been early, so that the scholars and people of both worlds can live in peace. Everyone enjoys peace, and a certain person is specially sent to submit the report. I don’t know when the land behind the mountain will be taken and delivered."

Zong Han smiled and said: "There is no one in your family who can only appoint internal officials. In the early Yuan Dynasty, the land behind the mountain was regarded as the great sage emperor's kindness to repay Zhao Huang's friendship on the sea. Everyone made an oath. Eternal reconciliation. It does not matter that the great sage emperor just died, his father-in-law has not returned to the country in time, and the land has not been handed over. Your dynasty has already violated its oaths and covenants, secretly accepted Zhang Jue, and accepted the officials and civilian households who fled Yanjing. This dynasty has repeatedly The pursuit is just a false statement, boasting about the vast territory of the country and the wealth of the people. Although this dynasty is small, it has never dared to be unreasonable. I will wait for a brief discussion with your dynasty to discuss the merits. "

Since the capture of Emperor Tianzuo, Liu Yanzong, Yu Jian, Xiao Qing and others continued to encourage Zong Han to attack the Song Dynasty. At the beginning, Zong Han was "hesitant". In July of that year, the Yisheng Army in Longqing Prefecture rebelled. Wang Zhen and Geng Shouzhong led their troops to pursue but failed. "Three thousand of them rushed to the Kingdom of Jin, which shows that China is false and true." In addition, there is Han Minyi, the leader of Yizhou's ever-victorious army. He had a grudge with Yizhou's defender Zhang Zong, so he led people to defect to Zonghan. He said to Zonghan: "The only one in the ever-victorious army who has the heart to serve the country is Guo Yaoshi, such as Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren's disciples were all in despair because of Zhang Jue." So Liu Yanzong, Yu Jian and others urged Zong Han: "The Southern Dynasty can be achieved, but it is not necessary to use the masses. You can only use the troops for the sake of food." Zong Han then made up his mind. send troops.

Ma Kuo saw that Zong Han's words indeed meant to send troops as a threat, so he said: "Tian Zuo was unethical and allowed evildoers to be used. Tian was disgusted with people's alienation, so he was defeated by your dynasty. This dynasty also complained that he violated etiquette and defeated the alliance, so we helped him." , working together to fight for destruction. Now the Prime Minister of the country may want to have the city behind the mountain, but he is still discussing it, and there is no need to suddenly lose his happiness. Once the two big countries are at war, how long will they never be able to take over the country? This undelivered land, I hope to mobilize troops. However, this matter is not trivial, and the interests are at stake. I hope the Prime Minister will think deeply about it."

Zong Han asked: "What do you want to do next?"

Ma Kuo asked to retreat and speak. Zong Han said: "When discussing matters in our country, we do not retreat to the right or left, but must be known by everyone."

Ma Kuo replied: "This is a major event between the two dynasties. If it is not agreed upon, it will be difficult for people to spread it and raise objections."

Zong Han smiled slightly, waved his hand, and everyone retreated.

Ma Kuo said: "Before leaving, King Tong ordered me to tell the Prime Minister that Tan Zhen, due to the fate of this dynasty, does not take care of the big plans and often causes trouble. He also received private invitations from Li Shi and Zhang Jue. The Lord also knows that this is a mistake. I wish you to The Prime Minister of the country wanted to keep the old good and destroy the Liao and Khitan together, without any deep comparison, so that the people of the two dynasties could live in peace. That is, the land behind Xushan Mountain was only handed over to Wei and Ying prefectures, and the rest was returned to your dynasty. If Meng Meng Yu Yun then announced the exact date to appease the border residents. In the future, the Prime Minister will be free to ask for anything, but please see Grand Master Yutong and deal with it one by one." l0ns3v3
