"Zhuo!" Emperor Tian Zuo shouted: "Your emperor is fatuous, and you are fatuous too?! Now that you are here, don't leave. Just follow me to hunt here. When the time comes, I will take you with me." Fight back to Youzhou and expel the Jurchens, and by then you will also be a high-ranking official."

Judging from the current situation, it is impossible to escape from Emperor Tianzuo. Wang Bangtai then knelt on the ground and said loudly: "The last general is willing to serve the great emperor." A small group of Song troops led by Wang Bangtai The soldiers also hurriedly knelt down and shouted loudly: "Young men are willing to serve the great emperor."

Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi laughed, and then arranged a small group of Song soldiers brought by Wang Bangtai among his troops.

A few days later, Xiao Puxiannu and Yelu Dashi came with more than a thousand soldiers and horses. This time, Xiao Puxian's daughter was not as lucky as Wang Bangtai. When Xiao Pu Xiannu and Yelu Dashi found Yelu Yanxi, before Xiao Pu Xiannu and Yelu Dashi could report the situation, Yelu Yanxi became furious and loudly ordered his subordinates to immediately drag Xiao Pu Xiannu out and behead her.

Yelu Dashi hurriedly stopped him and said loudly: "Your Majesty, Youzhou has been lost. The Queen Mother and I came here to join you. We can unite our forces to compete with the Jurchens."

"Clumsy!" Yelu Yanxi roared and said loudly: "I am hunting in Yinshan Mountain, how can the Queen Mother say anything about Nanjing?!" Yelu Yanxi pointed to Xiao Pu Xiannu, who was being held back by the soldiers, and said: "She is the wife of the King of Wei! How did she become the Queen Mother?!"

Yelu Dashi explained: "Your Majesty, you are out hunting, while the King of Wei and his ministers stay in Youzhou. The Jurchens are attacking, and the situation is critical. I have negotiated with Prime Minister Xiao and other ministers, and the King of Wei will temporarily take over the throne to deal with the Jurchen attack."

Yelu Yanxi said angrily: "You are the prince of the clan, don't you know that I am still alive?! Xiao Qian is a scornful person. He is of the same clan as this woman. You don't know their intentions?! Okay, don't say anything, no." Since you are the prince of the clan, I will kill you too."

Yelu Dashi did not expect such a scene to occur. The more than a thousand soldiers and horses he brought were all outside. He had no time to summon the soldiers and horses to protect Xiao Pu Xiannu. Yelu Yanxi waved his hand and ordered: "Pull him out and behead him!"

Yelu Dashi shouted: "Your Majesty! I can't kill him!"

Yelu Yanxi shouted: "Can't you kill him? Pull him out and kill him!"

Xiao Puxian, who was pulled outside to be beheaded, shouted loudly: "Aguo! You fool, you will be captured by the Jurchens soon!"

Yelu Yanxi became even more angry when he heard this and shouted: "Pull him out quickly! Behead him!"

Xiao Puxian's daughter was pulled out, and a soldier picked up a sword and chopped off Xiao Puxian's neck. With a "click", a stream of blood spurted out of the sky, and a head rolled to the ground.

In the big tent, Yelu's boulder banged, he knelt on the ground and cried loudly: "Queen Mother! I'm sorry for you!"

Yelu Yanxi glared at Yelu Dashi who was kneeling on the ground and shouted: "What? Are you going to die for that woman too?!"

Seeing this, Yelu Dashi stopped crying, turned to kowtow to Yelu Yanxi, and replied loudly: "I am willing to die for the Holy Lord."

Yelu Yanxi turned her anger into joy and said with a smile: "That's right! Get up."

Yelu Dashi got up and stood aside.

Later, Yelu Yanxi asked in detail about the fall of Youzhou. Yelu Dashi then made Yelv Chun the emperor after hunting Yelu Yanxi. How did Yelu Chun say that he would abdicate when Yelu Yanxi was found? If Yelu Yan could not be found in the future, The General of Jubilee was told to Yelu Yanxi, the fifth prince, about how Guo Pharmacist surrendered to the Song Dynasty and how the Jin soldiers captured Youzhou.

Yelu Yanxi was silent after hearing this.

A few days later, Yelu Dashi took more than a thousand soldiers and horses and left without saying goodbye, heading west.

In Bianliang, Tokyo, Zhao Liangsi entered the palace and reported the situation of negotiations with the Jin Kingdom to Emperor Huizong. When Huizong learned that the Jin Kingdom had only returned the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing for the time being, he was very angry. However, Emperor Huizong had no better way, so he instructed Zhao Liangsi to return the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing. After regaining it, the ten counties of Yunzhou are close to the Central Plains, and the soldiers and horses are also strong. At that time, the Jin soldiers can be surrounded, forced to withdraw and the ten counties of Yunzhou are returned.

After receiving Emperor Huizong's order, Zhao Liangsi quickly returned to Xiongzhou and informed Tong Guan and Cai You of the situation. Tong Guan and Cai You are both greedy for success and gain. Since they have Emperor Huizong's will, they are eager to get back what they want and what they have agreed to first to show their merit.

With the order brought back by Zhao Liangsi, Tong Guan, Cai You, and Zhao Liangsi rushed to Youzhou again, met with Wanyan Wu to beg for goods, agreed to all the conditions of the Jin Kingdom, and asked the Jin Kingdom to quickly return the twelve counties of Yanjing's six states .

By the way, Tong Guan, Cai You, and Zhao Liangsi once again stated that they demanded the return of Xijing Yunzhou as well.

"Okay!" Wanyan Wu Qimai agreed readily, and then continued: "Take another 200,000 taels as military expenses."

Originally, it was agreed that all sixteen Youyun states should be returned to the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty sent 200,000 silver and 400,000 bolts of silk to the Jin Kingdom. Now, after excluding the six states and twelve counties of Yanjing, only the ten states of Yunzhou want another 200,000 pieces of silver and 400,000 bolts of silk. Ten thousand taels of silver were used to reward the army, which made Tong Guan, Cai You, Zhao Liangsi and others very angry and unable to make the decision.

Negotiations between the two parties failed, and Tong Guan and others returned to their base again.

After Tong Guan and others returned to the station, they started urgent discussions. Zhao Liangsi said: "The six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing have been agreed upon. This situation has also been reported to the Holy Sage. The Holy Sage has also issued a decree, so we will follow it. Regarding the ten states of Yunzhou, the Holy Sage asked us to continue Titi, to show that our country will not give up the attitude of the Yunzhou Ten Prefectures and prevent the Yunzhou Ten Prefectures from becoming elusive. We are not asking for the Yunzhou Ten Prefectures back now. Privy Envoys and Supervisors should be simple in everything. To Fan, we should assess the situation and take the most advantageous starting point. Therefore, I think we can let go of the ten states of Yunzhou for the time being, and first claim back the six states and twelve counties of Yanjing."

Cai You said, silently.

Tong Guan listened reluctantly. Tong Guandao: "Since the Jin Kingdom promised to return the land of the ten states of Yunzhou together, it is nothing more than blackmailing another two hundred thousand taels of silver. It is better to agree to them and claim the land of the ten states of Yunzhou back together to solve the problem once and for all. , don’t leave any future troubles.”

Tong Guan's suggestion was obviously right, but it involved two hundred thousand taels of silver, which was beyond their control.

"Of course that's good." Zhao Liangsi said: "The Privy Council is far-sighted and considers the matter very carefully. However, two hundred thousand taels of silver are involved, so it may not be easy to make a decision."

Cai You also said: "Yes! Secretary Zhao is responsible for negotiations and has limited authority; I and Privy Council Tong are responsible for fighting and have no authority to decide on the transfer of coins to the Kingdom of Jin. Matters on money and silk are under the control of Prime Minister Wang. Prime Minister Wang was not at the scene, so we had to ask the Holy One for instructions again."

Seeing this, Tong Guan said irritably: "It's been a while since we've been back and forth, I'm afraid things may have changed."

Zhao Liangsi and Cai You saw that they had no idea.

After a moment of silence, Tong Guan looked at Zhao Liangsi and said, "It's better to do this."

Zhao Liangsi and Cai You hurriedly looked at Tong Guan, waiting for Tong Guan to express his opinion.

Tong Guan saw that Zhao Liangsi and Cai You were looking at him, waiting for his opinion, and then he had the idea of ​​​​taking responsibility. Nowadays, on the northern front line, I have the biggest official. If I don’t take the responsibility, who will take the responsibility? Besides, recovering the Sixteen Youyun Provinces is His Majesty’s biggest and most urgent wish. No matter what the conditions are, His Majesty will agree to it. Tong Guan was sure of Emperor Huizong's wishes. He knew that in order to take back all the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, even if it cost another two hundred thousand taels of silver, Emperor Huizong would definitely agree. Tong Guan thought to himself, in this case, why not I be decisive for a while and agree to the Jin Kingdom? If Emperor Huizong pursues the case in the future, it will also be to take back the hometown of the Sixteen States of Youyan! If Emperor Huizong does not pursue the matter but instead agrees with it, wouldn't it appear that I am responsible, and wouldn't it make me the biggest contributor? !

With this in mind, Tong Guan looked at Zhao Liangsi and said: "For my opinion, Secretary Zhao will meet with Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others in a private capacity and agree to them verbally, but will not issue any written commitment." , see if we can recover all the sixteen Youyun states? If not, we can also rely on verbal promises to recover the six states and twelve counties of Yanjing."

When Zhao Liangsi heard this, he hurriedly said: "Privy Tong, I have verbally agreed, and it will count in the future. If not, there will be another dispute between Song and Jin."

"What are you afraid of about disputes?" Tong Guandao said: "The top priority now is to regain the homeland of Youyun Sixteen States. Even if there is a dispute in the future, it will be a matter of the future. Let's wait until the future."

Zhao Liangsi had concerns and was afraid of taking responsibility. However, Emperor Huizong also ordered him to recover the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing. The current situation is obvious. If he does not agree to the military expenditure of 200,000 yuan, the Jin Kingdom will not It would be hard for me to give an account to the Holy Emperor for delivering all the land of the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures, including the Six Prefectures of Yanjing. Zhao Liangsi thought to himself, since Tong Guan is willing to take this responsibility, say this, and bear this responsibility, I might as well take advantage of the situation and ensure that the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing are recovered first.

So, Zhao Liangsi looked at Tong Guan and bowed, and said, "I will obey my orders."

Immediately, Zhao Liangsi brought several envoys from the Song Dynasty to visit Wanyan Wu Qimai, Wanyan Zongwang, Wanyan Nianhan and others here, and promised to pay the Jin Kingdom 200,000 taels after regaining the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun. Reward military expenses.

Wanyan Wu Qimai immediately said: If your country cannot pay the 200,000 taels of military expenses immediately, it can only return it to the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing as originally agreed. After your country pays the 200,000 taels of military expenses in the future, After the military expenses are paid, our troops will withdraw from the ten states of Yunzhou and hand them back to your country.

This result doesn't seem too bad. The two hundred thousand taels of military expenses were only a verbal promise. Although the Jin Kingdom did not immediately return the homeland of the ten states in Yunzhou, it promised to immediately return the six states and twelve counties of Yanjing, which was equivalent to returning to the originally agreed position. Therefore, Zhao Liangsi immediately expressed his agreement.

Zhao Liangsi immediately returned to his station and told Tong Guan and Cai You about the situation. Tong Guan and Cai You also expressed satisfaction with this. Next, the Song and Jin Dynasties began to deliver the six prefectures and twelve counties of Yanjing.
