Immediately, the Song army prepared to attack Youzhou.
Xiao Puxian's daughter got her reward and was busy discussing with generals such as Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi, and Han We.
Xiao Puxian said: "We, the Liao Dynasty, have professed their vassalage to the Jin and Song Dynasties at the same time, but the Jin and Song Dynasties have not stopped attacking the Liao Dynasty. The Jurchens came south, and on the pretext of chasing Emperor Tianzuo, they sent troops to Youzhou To the north, some soldiers and horses have gone to Yunzhou. Jin is a country of tigers and wolves, and the Jurchens are barbaric and cruel. There is no room for maneuver between us and the Jurchens no matter how we make concessions. I thought that the Song Dynasty was an ancient civilized country, tolerant and benevolent, but I didn't. Thinking that the army will be more powerful, we have already reached the city and are about to attack Youzhou City. You all know that Nanjing is our last parasitic place. Once Nanjing is conquered, Daliao will really be destroyed, and we will also There will be no burial place for the dying."
Xiao Qian paid homage to Xiao Puxian and said: "Song soldiers are coming from the north. There is no other way but to resist. The most important thing now is to hold a state funeral for Emperor Tianxi as soon as possible. Queen Mother, the coffin of Emperor Tianxi has been placed properly. We Then we will do our best to deal with the attacks of the Jin and Song Dynasties and defend Youzhou to the death."
When Xiannu Xiao Pu saw this, she replied: "The mausoleum of Emperor Tianxi has not been built yet, how to bury him? I'm afraid I can't care about Emperor Tianxi now."
Yelu Dashi looked at Xiao Puxian and paid homage to her, then said: "Although the official mausoleum of Emperor Tianxi has not been built, a state funeral must be held. There is a saying in the Southern Dynasties: 'The mourning army will win', so the court can take advantage of the imperial burial of Tianxi. Creating a mood of grief and indignation is to encourage the fighting spirit of the soldiers. As for the specific burial place of Emperor Tianxi's coffin, we can only choose a temporary location."
Han Wen stepped forward and said loudly: "The Empress Dowager is here to report. All you have to do is organize the funeral of the Tianxi Empire, invade the Song army from the north, and leave it to the general to meet them. The general will lead 50,000 troops and form a formation in Liangxiang. We must not let the Confederate army break through the Liangxiang defense line and ensure that Youzhou is impregnable."
Xiao Puxian was overjoyed when she heard this.
Xiao Qian was also inspired, and then said: "Queen Mother, the funeral of the Tianxi Empire will be carried out as usual. When the Song army invaded the north, I and Han Deputy Defense Envoy met. In Nanjing City, the Dashi Defense Envoy was responsible for the defense. Queen Mother, as long as We, the monarchs, ministers and soldiers will work together to ensure that Nanjing is not lost."
Yelu Dashi also expressed his position on the spot: "The Queen Mother is relieved, the defense of Nanjing lies entirely with this defense envoy. As long as this defense envoy is here, Youzhou City will be there."
Xiao Puxiannu was greatly relieved when she saw that Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and Han Ao had firm confidence, strong will and strong fighting spirit. Immediately, Xiao Puxiannu and Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and Han Ao agreed to immediately hold a state funeral to bury the coffin of Tianxi Emperor Yelv Chun; then Xiao Qian and Han Ao led 50,000 troops to form a formation in Liangxiang to meet the Song army. Yelu Dashi stayed behind in Youzhou and was responsible for its defense.
Xiao Qian and Han Wei immediately led 50,000 troops and horses, left Youzhou City, and formed their troops in Liangxiang, waiting for the Song army to attack. Yelu Dashi urgently deployed troops and horses to strengthen the defense of the four city gates in the east, west, south and north of Youzhou, and held a state funeral for Tianxi Emperor Yelu Chun in the city.
It was at this time that Jia Shizhong and Long Si came to the south gate of Youzhou City in search of Yin Zhi and the gold, silver, copper and iron girl Sixia. Jia Shizhong saw that the city walls and walls of Youzhou were covered with soldiers and horses, and he conducted extremely strict checks on people entering the city. Jia Shizhong stopped his horse and thought about how to sneak into the city.
After thinking for a while, Jia Shizhong came up with a solution, whispered to Long Si, and then, one after the other, he rode his horse to the city gate in a carefree manner.
When the Khitan soldiers guarding the city saw it, they raised their spears, pointed them at Jia Shizhong and Long Si, and shouted loudly: "Zhuo! Come and get off your horse! Get checked."
Jia Shizhong and Long Si stopped their horses and jumped down.
The soldiers guarding the city asked: "What are you doing? Why did you enter the city?"
Jia Shizhong replied: "Military lords, don't you know me?"
Several gatekeepers were stunned when asked by Jia Shizhong. They thought to themselves, who is this person? He has a good background, and they also said that we don't know him. Do we want to get to know you because of the river? !
Several soldiers were in a daze.
Jia Shizhong then smiled and said: "It seems that they are also new military masters."
The gatekeepers must change their defenses frequently! So, Jia Shizhong said this.
After hearing this, several soldiers felt that it was right, because they were indeed newly transferred to strengthen the city's defense.
While the soldiers had not yet sorted out their thoughts, Jia Shizhong hurriedly said: "Several military lords, I am Jia Shizhong from the southern suburbs of Yanjing! On weekdays, I cooperate a lot with the imperial court, and I have sold horses to the imperial court many times. Now, in the Song Dynasty, The military has invaded the world, and the military affairs of the imperial court are urgent. I am about to go to the city to see General Yelu to inquire about cooperation and whether horses are needed? You must not miss the important affairs of the imperial court. "
When the Khitan soldiers saw it, they said that they were just two people, so they let Jia Shizhong and Long Si into the city.
After Jia Shizhong and Long Si entered Yanjing City, they saw that the city was in a state of depression. There were several palaces with white ribbons floating around, as if something ominous had happened.
Jia Shizhong was surprised, so he jumped off his horse and led the horse on foot, preparing to inquire about the situation when he met someone.
As I was walking, I saw several people coming towards me. Jia Shizhong stepped forward, clasped his hands and said loudly: "Guys, I have something to ask you."
Those people stopped and asked, "What do you want to ask?"
Jia Shizhong said: "I am Jia Shizhong, a member of the Jia family in the southern suburbs. I usually cooperate with the Army and Horse Department in Beijing. Some time ago, I never came to the city due to secular affairs. Now that I have come to the city, why do I feel that the situation in the city is not right? ?”
Among the people, a man took a step forward and said to Jia Shizhong: "Since you are a member of Jia, you often cooperate with the Army and Horses Division. Don't you know about the recent war between Liao and Song Dynasty?"
Jia Shizhong said: "I went to sell horses in the north. I only knew about the war between Jin and Liao, but I didn't know about the war between Song and Liao. Is there also a war between Song and Liao? If so, I have to find General Yelu quickly."
The man said: "It seems that Jia Yuanwai really doesn't know. In that case, let me tell you. More than twenty days ago, the Song army invaded the country and was defeated by the imperial soldiers and horses. This was a good thing, but seven or eight days ago, the Holy Spirit After the death, the ever-victorious armies stationed in Zhuozhou and Yizhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty came to attack the city again. Currently, funeral arrangements are being held for the Holy One in the palace, so there is such a scene in the city."
Jia Shizhong was shocked when he heard this, thinking that Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi had died. In fact, it was not Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi who died, but Yelu Chun who established himself as emperor.
Jia Shizhong didn't know about this situation.
At that time, Guo Yaoshi, the commander of the victorious army and garrison in Zhuo and Yi prefectures of the Liao Kingdom, surrendered to the city. The Song army regained Zhuo and Yi prefectures without spending a single soldier. Emperor Yelv Chun of Liao died of illness. These good news were reported to the court in an urgent manner. Emperor Huizong was overjoyed when he heard about it. He immediately changed Yanjing to Yanshan Prefecture. In addition to giving great rewards to Pharmacist Guo, he promised that after the capture of Youzhou, he would appoint Pharmacist Guo to guard Yanshan Prefecture and take charge of the north. military affairs.
The news that Pharmacist Guo presented Zhuozhou and Yizhou and led his ever-victorious army to surrender to the Song Dynasty was also learned by Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin. Wanyan Aguda urgently summoned Wanyan Wu Qingmai, Wanyan Nianhan, Wanyan Zongwang and others to a meeting.
At the meeting, Wanyan Aguda told the story of Guo Pharmacist, the ever-victorious army of the Liao Kingdom, who presented the city and surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Finally, Wanyan Aguda looked at everyone and said: "Guo Pharmacist of the Liao Dynasty presented the city to surrender to the Song Dynasty, and the Song army must be encouraged. In addition, Guo Pharmacist's ever-victorious army was able to conquer the war. Guo Pharmacist led the ever-victorious army to surrender to the Song Dynasty, which undoubtedly strengthened the The combat capabilities of the Song Army may not be guaranteed by Liao and Yanjing. Under such circumstances, what should we do?"
After Wanyan Wu Qimai thought for a while, he said: "Great Emperor, if the Song army defeated Yanjing by itself, we would not get the annual gift from the Southern Dynasty. In my opinion, we can negotiate with the Southern Dynasty. , with the excuse that Emperor Tianzuo had not yet been captured, our country wanted to march into Yunzhou and other places, but was blocked by the Liao army in Yanjing, so our country wanted to assist the Southern Army in attacking Yanjing. After Yanjing was defeated, the Southern Dynasty would regain its Yanjing. Since our homeland is Yun, we will only go west to Yunzhou to capture Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi."
When Wanyan Aguda saw it, he thought about it again and asked Wanyan Wu, "What if Nanfang doesn't agree?"
Before Wanyan Wu had time to answer, Wanyan Nianhan suddenly stood up, looked at Wanyan Agu and bowed, and said loudly: "Great Emperor, do you have anything to discuss with the Southern Dynasty? We are discussing with the Southern Dynasty. There must be many things in the Southern Dynasty. The reason is that they will only use our country and will never let our country gain huge profits. In my opinion, we should seize Yanjing before the Song army, hold Yanjing in our hands, and let the Southern Dynasties use money to buy it Yanjing.”
Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he heard this, but then he became worried.
Wanyan Zongwang reported: "My father, I want to seize Yanjing, seize the opportunity, and let the Southern Dynasty use the money to redeem the city. This is a matter of profit, why worry?"
Wanyan Aguda said: "It is not a matter of our army seizing Yanjing. Aren't the Khitan's Shangjing, Tokyo, and Zhongjing all captured by us? The key point is that our country has an agreement with the Southern Dynasty that they will capture Yanjing, and our army will take the initiative to attack Yanjing." Jing, broke the agreement."
Wanyan Wu begged for help and said, "You can send a message to the Southern Dynasty and ask them to send envoys to the DPRK quickly. We will agree on a war date and we will assist them in capturing Yanjing. In this way, we will not violate the agreement."
Wanyan Aguda said he was overjoyed and immediately sent Wanyan Hut and Abo to the Song Dynasty as envoys again. In order to save time, Wanyan Ah probably ordered Wanyan Hute and Abo to disguise themselves and go directly from the mainland to Bianjing in the south.
Wanyanhute and Abo were ordered to dress up as Liao people and traveled through Zhuozhou and Yizhou directly to Cangzhou, then went south to Damingfu and arrived at Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty.
Wanyanhu Te and Abo first met with Zhao Liangsi.
After Zhao Liangsi met with Wanyanhu Te and Abo, he understood the intention of the Jin Kingdom, so he entered the palace to meet Emperor Huizong.
After Huizong Emperor Zhao Ji heard Zhao Liangsi's report, he was unsure, so he summoned Wang Fu into the palace to discuss the matter with Zhao Liangsi.
Wang Fu heard the call and hurriedly entered the palace to meet Emperor Huizong.
Zhao Liangsi then told Wang Fu what the Jin envoy had said.
After Zhao Liangsi finished describing the situation, Emperor Huizong looked at Wang Fu and asked, "What do you think should be done?"
Wang Fu stood up, looked at Emperor Huizong and bowed to him, and said, "Your Majesty, I think this is a good thing."
Huizong asked: "How can it be a good thing?"
Wang Fu replied: "Your Majesty, the Jurchens are assisting our army in attacking Yanjing. Their real intention is to use Yanjing to go to Yunzhong and capture Tianzuo Emperor Yelu Yanxi. Our army just takes advantage of the Jurchens Strength, to regain Yanjing, so I think this is a good thing."
Huizong said: "What will happen if Yanjing is restored in the future and Privet quarrels with us about Yanjing?"
"Your Majesty." Wang Fu said: "The Jurchens sent people over and asked our court to send envoys to discuss the matter. We should send Secretary Zhao to go and clearly inform the Jurchens that they are only assisting to contain the Khitan forces. ; Capturing Yanjing is a matter for our court, and they will not be allowed to enter Yanjing in the future."
Emperor Huizong heard the memorial and turned to see Zhao Liangsi. Zhao Liangsi stood up quickly, bowed to Huizong, and replied loudly: "Your Majesty, I am willing to send Jurchen as envoy again."
Huizong said: "Does Secretary Zhao think it is feasible?"
"Your Majesty," Zhao Liangsi replied, "I think it is feasible. After all, with the Jurchens restraining the Khitan, our army can attack Yanjing with much less effort, and can pay as little as possible."
Huizong was overjoyed when he saw this, and directly issued an edict: "Your Majesty, please listen to the edict!"
Wang Fu and Zhao Liangsi took a step forward and replied loudly: "I will listen to your order!"
"Compiled by Youwendian and Secretary Cheng Zhao Liangsi, he will be sent as envoy to the Kingdom of Jin from now on to discuss the coordinated operations of the Song and Jin armies, and the Jin army to assist our army in regaining Yanjing."
Zhao Liangsi replied loudly: "I obey the imperial edict!"
After receiving the order, Zhao Liangsi, together with Wanyan Hut and Abo, returned to the Kingdom of Jin by land to discuss with Emperor Wanyan Aguda of the Kingdom of Jin about the coordinated attack on Yanjing by the two countries.
