One Piece of Song Dynasty

When everyone walked out of the camp after listening, some were excited and some were pensive. However, it was not easy to make a choice. After all, they had worked together with Yang Yun in enemy territory for more than years. They were really reluctant to separate. Of course, The temptation to go home is also great. Going home means that you can reunite with your family after being away for more than years. Not only that, going home also means that you are safe and you don't have to worry about it every time. Of course, returning home also means that the credit will end for the time being. If they continue to stay, the credit will continue, and they may have to stay until the Jin Kingdom is destroyed before they can go home. The risks are high and the rewards are high. For a time, everyone Everyone makes a decision in their mind. In the end, when Yang Yun received the list, % of the people chose to stay, and the remaining % chose to go home. This result also made Yang Yun both happy and a little guilty. He was happy that he had spent the past twenty years The efforts made by my subordinates were not in vain. At least there were familiar people behind me who could use them. What I felt guilty was that these subordinates had not been home with me for twenty years, and now they have to stay with me in the Kingdom of Jin until the Kingdom of Jin is destroyed. Before they could go home, anything that happened in the meantime might cost them their lives. Yang Yun could only secretly make up his mind to do his best to save their lives until the mission was completed. Niu Gao took five thousand cavalry and hid in the north of Huacheng County. He didn't meet anyone except a grain transport team. For this grain transport team, Niu Gao could not help but scare the snake and let him go. Didn't eliminate him. At dusk, the color had darkened, and it was impossible for anyone to pass by on the road. Niu Gao ordered the entire army to bury pots and make rice quickly, so that they could start taking action after having a full meal. At this time, in the Jin Army camp, Xiao Qing, who had received Yang Yun's invitation, had already arrived at Yang Yun's tent. Yang Yun warmly entertained Xiao Qing and said, "Come on, Marshal Xiao, please sit down. Marshal Xiao can come to this humble place." The camp really makes me humble." Xiao Qing sat down and said, "Hey, General Yang is so polite. I am also honored to be invited to the banquet by General Yang. At this time when the country is in crisis, you and I We should work together to share the emperor's worries." Yang Yun hurriedly agreed: "That's right, that's right, this is our duty as ministers. Come on, Marshal Xiao. I'll give you a drink first, Marshal Xiao." After that, Yang Yun raised He picked up the wine glass and drank it all in one gulp. Upon seeing this, Xiao Qing raised his glass and said in reply: "Okay, General Yang is so happy. I accept General Yang's affection." Afterwards, Xiao Qing also drank the wine in one gulp. After drinking, Yang Yun asked: "Commander, how long do we have to stay here? The Song Army doesn't leave the city. It's boring to have nothing to do." Xiao Qing said: "Why, General Yang is still looking forward to the Song Army leaving the city." "Yang Yun pretended to recall: "When we went south more than ten years ago, our army faced the Song army and pushed it all the way." Xiao Qing came and said with interest: "General Yang also knows how to defeat the enemy." Yang Yun said with a smile: "Let the generals The handsome man laughed at me. I have had nothing to do in the past ten years. I found a husband who knew the Chinese characters and read the zero book, but it was still far behind the handsome man's knowledge." Xiao Qing was very impressed by Yang Yun's compliments. : "Well, it's good to be literate. General Yang is much better than those unlearned warriors." Yang Yun chuckled and said: "Thank you, Marshal. Marshal, how come the imperial court's invasion to the south is going to be so good?" The army came to our territory." Xiao Qing frowned slightly and said, "General Yang didn't hear anything about it." Yang Yun said, "A certain general is just a general who commands thousands of people, and he is not a big official. If he can go up to listen, then Since the southern invasion more than ten years ago, a certain person and his men were transferred to Liaoyang Mansion and took root. Apart from quelling a few groups of bandits, they have not fought any major battles in more than ten years." Xiao Qing drank a glass of wine and said: " The imperial court's southern invasion is not going well this time. It may lose a large area of ​​land and return to the situation more than ten years ago, or even worse than it was more than ten years ago." Yang Yun said in surprise: "Commander, what's going on? The Song Army is still Can it be overturned or not?" Xiao Qing raised his wine glass and said: "General Yang doesn't know something. There is a hero from the south. He is much stronger than the Zhao family. They have made the Song Dynasty more and more powerful. I can't think about it. In the past ten years, the situation has changed drastically. The imperial court has lost too many famous generals whether they died of illness or were killed. It is difficult to control the Song Dynasty now." Yang Yun asked: "According to the commander-in-chief's wishes, Wouldn't it mean that our country, Dajin, is in danger of being destroyed? Dajin has only been a country for more than years." Xiao Qing reminded: "General Yang is careful, these words cannot be messed up. If others spread it, there will be big trouble. But the country will not be destroyed. No matter how strong the Song Dynasty is, it does not have the strength to annex the Jin Dynasty. However, after losing Yanyun and the Jin Dynasty in the Central Plains, it can only go downhill." Yang Yun agreed: "Yes, the richest people in the Liao Dynasty back then were The place is Yanyun, and it would be the same if it were changed to Dajin. Without Yanyun’s tax revenue, it would be good if Dajin’s national power could be half of its original strength.” Xiao Qing sighed with the strength of his wine: “If only I, the Khitan, could produce a hero. It will be fine, Lord. In that case, Daliao can be revived." Yang Yun tried and said: "Commander, didn't you hear that Yelu Dashi ascended the throne thousands of miles to the west and proclaimed himself the emperor and founded the country?" Xiao Qing waved his hand and said: "Big Stone Forest Ya, forget it, we re-established Daliao, but it is too far away from us. Besides, my Khitan ancestors have lived here for generations, how can I leave my ancestral land and go far away." Yang Yun asked again: "Commander, this time How did the battle go so badly?" Xiao Qing said slightly drunkenly: "The Song Army was not caught off guard. No one expected that the Song Army would directly attack Yanyun and Huacheng through the sea. The same goes for the county. The Song Army sent a huge fleet to directly send the infantry to Yanyun for landing. This has never happened before in history. The Song Army set a precedent in history. Because our army Most of the main forces invaded south, leaving the rear empty. Moreover, our army that invaded south also suffered heavy losses on the territory of the Song Army. Coupled with the poor transmission of information, by the time the court reacted, it had already become like this. At present, our army has the most combat effectiveness. One part of the army cannot be mobilized to defend the Mongolian tribes in the northwest, and the rest are basically in Xijing and Hedong. You also know that we have an army of , and the real elite is only the Jurchen cavalry, so the Song Dynasty in this city Even if the army doesn't come out, our mission will be over after just one or two months. " Yang Yun poured wine for Xiao Qing and said: "Commander, that means this war will be over in a month or two." Xiao Qing drank another glass of wine and said: "That's not it, the battle is like this. , the imperial court will definitely send envoys to sue for peace, and the war may be over in less than a month or two. "
