Immediately, Huizong discussed the war in Youzhou with Wang Fu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan, Gao Qiu, Cai You and others. Huizong felt that the victorious Liao army had surrendered to the Song Dynasty and the Liao army's defensive power was even weaker. He should seize this opportunity to attack Yanjing to regain Yanyun's homeland. Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others all flattered and licked their hemorrhoids, but Emperor Huizong was the one who flattered the treacherous villain. Seeing that Huizong was eager to regain Yanyun's homeland, he deliberately encouraged him. Huizong then decided to make a second northern expedition to attack Youzhou.
Huizong ordered Wang Fu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others to formulate a detailed plan to conquer the Liao Dynasty. It would definitely not be as fruitless as the first expedition against the Liao Dynasty. Wang Fu, Cai Jing and others were ordered to go back to discuss relevant matters.
A few days later, envoys from the Liao Kingdom came and offered their vassal status. Huizong personally received the Liao envoy. When the Liao envoy expressed very humbly that he wanted to retain Yanyun and other places as dependent territories for the Song Dynasty to become a vassal, Huizong was unhappy. Huizong asked the Liao envoy: "Your country is professing vassalage to our country, but it wants to occupy the territory of the sixteen states of Yanyun. What's the truth?" The Liao envoy replied: "Your Majesty, except for Yanyun, our country now has There is no territory outside the land, so our country has to stay in your country of Yanyun for the time being." Huizong said: "Since your country occupies the territory of the sixteen states of Yanyun, what should we do if the Jin invades? ?” The Liao envoy replied: “To be honest with the Emperor, when my country becomes a vassal to your country again, I also want the Jin people to do so.”
"How outrageous!" Huizong was furious and pointed at the Liao envoy and said: "Since your country has professed its vassalage to my dynasty, why do you want to secede to the Jin Dynasty? So are my sixteen states of Yanyun considered mine? Or do they belong to the Jin Kingdom? ?" The Liao envoy was frightened and said quickly: "The sixteen states of Yanyun naturally belong to the great emperor. It is an expedient policy for our country to surrender to the Jin people. We will never be on good terms with the Jin people. At present, I The country occupies the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, but it is borrowed from the Great Emperor, and the sovereignty of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun belongs to the Great Emperor."
After hearing what the Liao envoy said, Huizong became less angry.
The Liao envoy looked at Emperor Huizong and bowed his head again, saying, "I hope the Emperor will give me your permission."
Huizong thought for a while, calmed down his anger, and said to the Liao envoy: "I must take back the sixteen states of Yanyun. If I don't take back the territory of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the territory of the sixteen states of Yanyun will fall into The hand of the Jin. Come back and report to your Queen Mother to guard Yanyun and not let the Jin people get ahead of you. In addition, since your Queen Mother is professing her vassal to me, I will naturally make arrangements, and it does not necessarily have to be in Youzhou."
The envoy of Liao replied: "In response to the great emperor, after the humble envoy returns to the country, he will report the emperor's message to my queen mother."
The Liao envoy immediately left and left the palace.
After the Liao envoy left, Emperor Huizong discussed relevant matters with Wang Fu, Cai Jing, Tong Guan and others.
After deliberation, it was decided to change Youzhou to Yanshan Prefecture; it was decided to send Tong Guan as the commander, Liu Yanqing, the prefect of the palace, as deputy and vanguard, and Cai You as the supervisor. They rushed to Xiongzhou with 50,000 troops and horses to meet with Wang Zhen. Huihe, so that the imperial army and horses combined have 200,000 people, and then attack the Liao Dynasty.
In addition, Guo Pharmacist's ever-victorious army was placed under Liu Yanqing's department, and Zhang Linghui, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhen Kuohai, Zhen Wuchen, etc. who followed Guo Pharmacist to the Song Dynasty were all placed under Liu Yanqing's control. Guo Yaoshi was temporarily ordered to be the pioneer officer of Liu Yanqing's department. Zhang Linghui, Zhao Heshou, Liu Shunren, Zhen Kuohai, Zhen Wuchen, etc. were all promoted to commanders and deputy pioneer officers. They will be placed separately after Youzhou is recovered. Zhongshi Dao was transferred to Yuanzhou and served as the economic envoy of Pingqing, Yuanjing.
On the second day, Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing and Cai You then mobilized 50,000 soldiers and horses and galloped towards Xiongzhou to prepare for the second attack on Liao.
When this series of events happened between Song and Liao, Jia Shizhong, Yinzhi, Jinxia, and Tiexia returned from Dayu Mountain to Jia Shizhong's manor in the southern suburbs of Youzhou. Jia Shizhong was worried about Xu Guanzhong's need for horses in Dayu Mountain, so after returning to Youzhou, he did not even think about marrying Yinzhi. He first went to Youzhou to purchase more than a hundred horses, and then rushed back to the manor to prepare for delivery. Dayu Mountain Xu Guanzhong.
Before leaving, Jia Shizhong asked Yinzhi: "Miss Yinzhi, Guanzhong and the others are in urgent need of horses in Dayu Mountain. I want to go to Dayu Mountain again and give the horses I purchased this time to Guanzhong and the others. Are you willing? Going to Dayu Mountain again?"
What Jia Shizhong meant was that he hoped that Yinzhi could go to Dayu Mountain again and meet Yan Qing. The two parties could sit together, talk about the past, and no longer care about past grudges. In that case, everyone could live in harmony and share the same feelings. Looking for a long-term plan.
Jia Shizhong planned to marry Yinzhi after returning from sending the horses this time, so that he would no longer have to think about Yinzhi's revenge.
Hearing Jia Shizhong ask if he wanted to go to Dayu Mountain again, Yinzhi thought for a while and said: "Young Master, because of my sister, Yinzhi can't forgive Ke Yin and Yunbi, and doesn't want to see them. They. Therefore, I don’t want to go south this time. Young Master, please take Jinxia with you and be more careful along the way."
Jia Shizhong asked: "What should I do if I see Yunbi?"
Hearing this, Yinzhi said: "That is a matter between you men. You men, when you stand in this world, you should put the overall situation first. Young Master, you can decide what to do yourself."
Hearing this, Jia Shizhong nodded and said, "Yinzhi, I understand. You are so lucky to stay at home. Jinxia and I will go to Dayu Mountain quickly, deliver the horses, and then we will come back."
Yinzhi nodded and said hello, and then, together with Tiexia, sent Jia Shizhong and Jinxia out of the manor.
Jia Shizhong and Jin Xia drove more than a hundred horses to the south.
Along the way, Jia Shizhong and Jin Xia drove more than a hundred horses. They ate and drank when they were hungry, traveled at dawn and stayed overnight, got up early and stayed late, traveled through wind and rain, and worked tirelessly. It took them three days to reach Xu Guanzhong's place in Dayu Mountain again.
Xu Guanzhong was overjoyed to see that Jia Shizhong and Jin Xia had arrived with more than a hundred Saibei horses, all of which were fat and strong. He hurriedly picked up Jia Shizhong and Jin Xia, entertained them warmly, and told them how he missed them after parting.
Jinxia cried with joy when she saw Yinxia and Tongxia.
The three of them laughed and cried for a while, it was quite lively.
Before Jia Shizhong saw Yan Qing, he asked Xu Guanzhong: "Master, where are my brothers Yunbi?"
Xu Guanzhong looked at Jia Shizhong, smiled, and said, "Is it possible that Brother Jia still wants to fight with Yunbi?"
Jia Shizhong also smiled and said: "Why are we still fighting now?! That Yunbi is a hero in the world. I am very envious in my heart. I really hope to meet him so that I can become a close friend and rely on him to make long-term plans."
Hearing this, Xu Guanzhong applauded loudly, and then told Jia Shizhong: "Xiao Yi has not returned since he left last time. He must be visiting old friends and it is difficult to get back for a while. If Brother Jia has leisure, he might as well stay here for a longer time." , firstly, wait for Xiao Yi to come back and meet him, and secondly, I will compete with Guanzhong in martial arts and improve each other, how about that?"
Jia Shizhong said: "That's very good! But I have promised Yinzhi to come back as soon as possible."
Xu Guanzhong said: "If this is the case, it is not easy to force Jia Yishi to stay. However, the journey is far away and it is not easy to travel. It is very inconvenient to travel back and forth. To be honest, Guanzhong should not be offended by Jia Yishi."
"Master, tell me what you have to say, Shizhong is all ears."
"There is a saying that if love lasts for a long time, especially in the morning and evening. From my observation, Yinzhi is also a hero among women, and is not greedy for me and me. In my opinion, Jia Yishi has come all the way to Dayu Mountain. , you might as well stay a little longer, and when brother Yan Qing comes, we can meet each other so that we can plan for future events."
Hearing what Xu Guanzhong said, Jia Shizhong blushed. Jia Shizhong thought to himself, since Xu Guanzhong said this, if I insist on getting it back, I just can't let go of my love for my children, and it will appear unmanly. Thinking of this, Jia Shizhong then said: "In that case, I will stay in Dayu Mountain for a while, firstly, to learn some military formations from the master, and secondly, wait for Xiao Yi, so that I can meet him, but I A wish.”
Xu Guanzhong laughed and said: "Very good! Very good! Making friends in a hut and roaming in the mountains and rivers is one of the great pleasures in life!"
From then on, Jia Shizhong and Jin Xia stayed in Dayu Mountain, waiting for Yan Qing's return.
Jia Shizhong stayed in Dayu Mountain and waited for another three to five days, but still did not see Yan Qing come back, and he felt anxious.
So, what's going on with Yan Qing during this time? Why haven't you returned to Dayu Mountain?
It turned out that Yan Qing came to Chai Jin again after visiting Lu Junyi, Song Jiang and others. The two hadn't seen each other for a long time and couldn't get close to each other. Chai Jin insisted on keeping Yan Qing and refused to let him go back to Dayu Mountain. Because there was nothing important at the moment, Yan Qing also wanted to plan the future with Chai Jin, so he stayed at Chai Jin's place for a while. Every day, Chai Jin and Yan Qing drank or tasted tea, discussing what to do in the future.
On this day, the two people talked about the court affairs again.
At that time, Chai Jin and Yan Qing were worried about the difficult situation and shed tears at each other.
After a long time, Yan Qing said: "Brother, just crying won't work. We have to find a way to see if we can save the crisis."
Chai Jin said: "The current situation is probably very difficult. You and I, brothers, can't support each other alone."
Yan Qing looked at Chai Jin and thought to himself, Cangzhou is close to the Liao Kingdom. If the two countries start a war, they will definitely bear the brunt. Why don't I advise Chai Daguan to go to Dayu Mountain, where they can avoid the temporary danger? Sleepy.
Thinking of this, Yan Qing said: "Brother Daguanren, for now, if you stay here, it may not be a long-term solution. It is better to move south to Dayu Mountain. When I came to Daguanren brother's place, I stopped by. I went to Liangshan and met Brother Xiaoqi. He has decided to take his old mother and move to Dayu Mountain."
When Chai Jin heard this, his eyes lit up and he hurriedly asked: "Is it possible to escape from the world in Dayu Mountain?"
Yan Qing replied: "Although Dayu Mountain is not as good as Liangshan Mountain, it is separated by a lake, but it is also a natural chasm. There are steep mountains around it, but the top of the mountain is a hundred acres of plains. The climate is humid, and it can open up wasteland for farming. Grow grain and vegetables, spin and weave clothes, and have enough food and clothing.”
Chai Jin said: "In this case, the place is obviously good. Can we protect ourselves in a critical moment?"
Yan Qing replied: "Before coming here, I have made an appointment with Brother Xiao Qi, and he has decided to take his mother and move to Dayu Mountain. In my opinion, Brother Daguan, it is not as good as ours in Dayu Mountain." Build a house and community, farm on the flat land, sow in spring and harvest in autumn to ensure longevity. On weekdays, we buy horses and weapons, and set up rolling logs and thunder stones around the mountain. Brother Zhong's resourcefulness should be able to protect himself; even if he cannot protect himself, it can be used as a buffer to make other plans."
Chai Jin was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately said: "If that's the case, I will buy this property and village, move to Dayu Mountain, and live with Xiao Yi, Xiao Qi, and Guan Zhong brother, so that we can stay together for warmth and rely on each other in the future. .”
Yan Qing said: "Exactly! If you continue to break up, you will be disturbed. Brother, if this is the case, I will rush back to Dayu Mountain tomorrow to build a house for my brother in advance. As soon as my brother arrives, he can move in. live."
Chai Jin was overjoyed and said, "That's great, but we have to work hard again, brother."
Yan Qing said: "Brother, what are you talking about? Not to mention it's hard work for Xiao Yi, even if my brother wants Xiao Yi's life, Xiao Yi is willing to take it."
Upon hearing this, Chai Jin stood up and left his seat, bowed deeply to Yan Qing, and said: "Brother Xiao Yi, a horse's strength is known over a long journey, and a person's heart is known over time. Brother, I am proud to have a brother like you who lives and dies together. Come early tonight Rest, get up early tomorrow and go on the road, I will sell off the farmhouse and land soon, see you at Dayu Mountain."
That night, the two of them slept separately.
