Zhao Zuoliang looked at Yu Yunwen and saw the strong desire for knowledge in his eyes.
This is probably a common doubt among bureaucrats in the Southern Song Dynasty, right?
Zhao Zuoliang thought so.
"Really speaking, I may not know more than you. Although I am the leader, General Su of our Liberation Army is mainly responsible for dealing with the army of gold thieves. This issue will not be solved if I have the opportunity to meet General Su in the future. General, you can ask him yourself."
Yu Yunwen's eyes lit up and he asked hurriedly: "Can I see General Su?"
"It is probably not possible now. He is directing the war in Yanyun and it is not convenient to meet with your envoy. We also dare not let your envoy go to the battlefield of Yanyun to avoid danger."
Zhao Zuoliang stroked his beard and smiled and said: "I'm not afraid of your ridicule. When it comes to fighting, I'm not very good at it. Fortunately, I have him. By the way, he is also my good son-in-law. Thanks to him for shouldering the military responsibility, he is really good at using soldiers." God, the kings and ministers of the Jin Kingdom are vulnerable to him.
Since the battle with the gold thief, I haven't heard that he has ever lost a battle. At the most dangerous time, he even had to face the Jin Kingdom's 20,000 cavalry with less than 30,000 troops, and he actually won, oops! The Liberation Army can win, and the victory of the Nine Successes belongs to him! "
Listening to Zhao Zuoliang's unstinting praise, Yu Yunwen knew that the information Lin'an had obtained was true.
Zhao Zuoliang is indeed the nominal leader, and Su Yonglin is the real master of the Liberation Army. Zhao Zuoliang's rise to power was also promoted by Su Yonglin. Maybe it was just for the convenience of management, so the father-in-law named Zhao was promoted to support him.
Although the father-in-law holds the position of leader, the real power of the Liberation Army is still in the hands of Su Yonglin. If you really want to get some results from the negotiation, you need to talk to Su Yonglin directly, not Zhao Zuoliang.
"Then when can I get a glimpse of General Su?"
Yu Yunwen put forward his ideas tactfully.
Zhao Zuoliang looked embarrassed.
"This... is really inconvenient. The Yanyun war has not yet subsided. If you want a good son-in-law to go south, you have to wait until the Yanyun war is over anyway. Your envoy should understand, right?"
"This...is true."
Even if Yu Yunwen dared, the Liberation Army would not let him go deep into the battlefield, and the Yanyun War did not know when it would end. As a tentative ice-breaking trip, Yu Yunwen felt that his mission was almost over.
Moreover, the three tasks assigned to him by Zhang Jun were basically completed.
After completing these three tasks, Yu Yunwen's task is completed, and the next things are beyond the scope of officials of his level.
In the next few days, Yu Yunwen spent a relatively comfortable few days in Linyi City under the arrangement of Zhao Zuoliang. Zhao Zuoliang made up for the lack of good hospitality before, and even took Yu Yunwen out for an outing in the city, which was considered a good bond. good karma.
Then Yu Yunwen went back home to report the news.
Zhao Zuoliang also rushed to send the news to Yanyun to let Su Yonglin know.
It was the end of May when Su Yonglin, who was dizzy due to his busy schedule, learned the news.
He had never had time to deal with this matter, but when he finally found time, he learned that the Southern Song Dynasty had taken the initiative to send someone to contact him. The person's name was Yu Yunwen, and he seemed to have the heart of a white wolf.
Yu Yunwen?
This name...
Su Yonglin narrowed his eyes and thought of the famous minister of the Southern Song Dynasty.
Needless to say, when he was a young man with no worries about food and clothing, he really had a dream of traveling in the officialdom with these great figures who have left a lasting name in history. For this reason, he also studied Confucian classics diligently and prepared for the imperial examination. , and even once hated his family members who were selling smuggled salt.
He imagined that he would become a member of the scholar-bureaucrats, enjoy high official positions and generous salaries, hold beautiful women in his arms, drink fine wine, eat delicious food, and enjoy the beautiful scenery. He was so drunk under the warm wind in Hangzhou day after day. Die in gentle country.
Live a boring yet wealthy life.
But such a dream soon shattered, and he was no longer interested in such things.
Whether it was Yu Yunwen, Lu You, Fan Chengda, or Yang Wanli, these familiar names were unattractive to him.
He doesn't want the snow, moon, wind and flowers, he just wants the iron horse.
And he has indeed done it now, accomplished what these well-known celebrities of later generations wanted to do in their poems and dreams.
He destroyed the Kingdom of Jin.
So these people have no meaning to Su Yonglin.
No matter how famous I am, no matter how many poems I write, can they stop me from going south to destroy the Song Dynasty?
snort!
Su Yonglin then read Zhao Zuoliang's letter and learned that Zhao Zuoliang believed that the Southern Song Dynasty might have evil intentions. In addition to the traditional art of talking about cooperation and friendship, he might even talk shamelessly about some land matters.
The Southern Song Dynasty might have had thoughts about certain lands in the Central Plains, or even the Liberation Army itself. During the conversation, one could always feel an inexplicable sense of superiority.
Su Yonglin sneered, feeling that the Zhao Gou court was a typical idiot court that didn't know the heights of the sky. They could do things that normal carbon-based organisms couldn't do.
This kind of carbon-based creature will shine brightly if you give it a little sunshine, and it will flood if you give it a little flood. If you give it a good look, it might even dare to talk about joining you.
However, Su Yonglin had no intention of officially starting a war with the Southern Song Dynasty in a short period of time, so it was best to be conciliatory.
Just say that at present, Su Yonglin has a good way to divert attention and tease the fragile and sensitive nerves of the Southern Song Dynasty.
After conquering Zhongdu, Su Yonglin received a report from the screening personnel, saying that many people claiming to be the royal family of the Song Kingdom were found in the homes of some Jin Kingdom dignitaries and in the inner city. He felt suspicious and wanted to ask him what to do. .
Su Yonglin was stunned, thinking of the Song Dynasty's humiliation of Jingkang, and then noticed that the large number of Northern Song Dynasty royal families who were kidnapped to the north should indeed still be alive in the world, and the second and third generations they gave birth to in the Jin Kingdom He must have grown up too.
The total of the Northern Song Dynasty royal family and their second and third generations who did not die at that time was probably a quite large number, and these people did not belong to the Jurchen aristocracy that had to be killed.
How to deal with it?
Su Yonglin thought about it over and over, and suddenly an idea appeared in his mind.
I wonder how Zhao Gou felt when he saw these relatives he had not seen for many years?
Is it happiness, shame, or some other feeling?
Su Yonglin thought of this with bad taste.
So Su Yonglin immediately ordered the screening officials to collect and record all the people who claimed to be descendants of the Song Dynasty, so that they could identify each other, prove their identities, and explain to each other whether there were any relatives left in Zhongdu or other places that had not been discovered.
After Su Yonglin gave the order, there was naturally someone assigned to take charge of this matter. But if you don't screen it, you won't know. Once you screen it, you will be shocked.
Not to mention the second and third generations, even those immediate family members who were captured by the Jin people and went north with Zhao Ji and Zhao Heng are still alive.
The reason why they are in Zhongdu is basically because Wanyan Liang destroyed Shangjing in order to destroy the old Jurchen aristocracy, and then moved the political center to Yanyun.
The captured Northern Song clan clan originally lived near Shangjing. Later, in order to monitor the Song clan clan nearby, all the Song Dynasty clan clan headed by Zhao Heng were moved to Zhongdu.
As time passed, many members of the Northern Song Dynasty clan died, but it didn't matter. The only thing that made Su Yonglin feel a bit regretful was the death of Zhao Huan.
If Zhao Huan were still alive, how much could he do with Zhao Huan.
Unfortunately, he died, four years ago.
After almost thirty years of captive life, he suffered humiliation and finally died in the enemy's capital. There are different explanations for the way of death. Some unofficial histories say that he was trampled to death by a horse.
But no matter how you put it, Zhao Huan can be ranked in the top three in the list of unlucky emperors in ancient China.
In addition to Zhao Huan, as the screening work progressed, Su Yonglin got another list that made him feel very emotional.
A list of the living immediate family members of Emperor Huiqin.
Su Yonglin scanned briefly and saw many names that made him very emotional. At the same time, he also thought that this year, it had been thirty-three years since the Northern Song Dynasty clan was kidnapped and headed north...
Thirty-three years in the enemy's camp, these people are still alive, and I don't know what their mood and state are at this moment.
