A knife in love

Chapter 1963
When Li Qiufeng heard Feng Wei say the word "Ma Zhi", his heart shuddered, and he thought to himself that Feng Wei went around one big circle after another, and finally mentioned this important person.The Northern Song Dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin concluded the "Sea Alliance", and the north and south attacked the Liao Kingdom, which was triggered by this Ma Zhi.It seems that the big event that Tong Guan wants Feng Wei to do, nine out of ten is to go to the Kingdom of Jin to sign an alliance with Ma Zhi.

Qi Jiu had another thought.He thought to himself, I heard from my father that Tong Guan is treacherous and cunning, even though he is an eunuch, he has always harbored disobedience.He knew that Zhao Ji, Emperor Huizong of the Song Dynasty, liked wind, flowers, snow and moon, and his writing was bright, but although he knew a few words, he was no different from a rough man.Therefore, this traitor found another way to spread his influence in the army.He acts like this, one is to accumulate military merits, get promoted and make a fortune, and the other is to firmly hold the army of the Great Song Dynasty in his own hands. If the world changes, he will learn the story of Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin, and also come with a "yellow robe" , Be the emperor yourself.It's just that this person is arrogant and conceited. When he was sent to the Liao Kingdom, he was teased and insulted by the Khitan people, so he held a grudge against it.After returning to the Great Song Dynasty, he immediately encouraged the emperor to form an alliance with the Kingdom of Jin and jointly destroy the Khitan.Although this person is good at using intrigues and tricks, they are all little tricks that hurt people.When it comes to military affairs, he is not as good as a woman.The demise of the Northern Song Dynasty, in the final analysis, was caused by the traitor Tong Guan who was so happy.

It's just that when Qi Jiu thought of this, he was suddenly startled, thinking to himself that Feng Wei's origin was unknown, but he stood in front of us and claimed to be an official of the Song Dynasty.After hearing so many things from him, I didn't have the slightest doubt about him anymore, it seems that this person is really from the Song Dynasty.This person does not speak and act like a lunatic at all, and the things he said are quite reasonable.Who the hell is he who is so familiar with the past events of the Song Dynasty?

Li Qiufeng and Qi Jiu have their own thoughts and just want to hear what Feng Wei has to say.Murong Danyan never liked these important military affairs, so the boss was impatient to hear about them.Seeing that Li Qiufeng listened with gusto, she had no choice but to bear with herself, wanting to hear what else Feng Wei could say.Although Wang Xiaoyu no longer spoke out to ridicule Feng Wei, but when he confirmed the things he told with the stories of the Northern Song Dynasty told by Mr. Shu, there was a lot of difference.Wang Xiaoyu thought to himself, this old guy has become the lackey of the traitor Tong Guan, so he wants to clear the name of the old thief Tong Guan in front of us, bah!

Naturally, Feng Wei didn't know what Li Qiufeng and others were thinking, so he continued on his own: "The so-called survivors are those Han people who live in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun occupied by the Khitan people. These people are the most miserable people in the Liao Kingdom. He was regarded as a slave by the Khitan people and suffered great oppression. Therefore, Mr. Tong Guan was very surprised to hear that this person called himself a survivor. However, he was in the territory of Khitan, so Mr. Tong Guan had to beware of the Khitan people's tricks and tricks. If the Khitans deliberately sent people to pretend to be Han people to infiltrate the envoys of the Song Dynasty and cause trouble, the Khitans would have an excuse to detain the envoys of the Song Dynasty. If this is the case, the life of Lord Tong Guan would be the second priority, but he As a privy envoy, he was detained by the Khitan people in the Liao Kingdom, and if word spread, it would definitely damage the reputation of the Song Kingdom.

"Thinking of this, Master Tong Guan suppressed the surprise in his heart, and said a few words to Ma Zhi lightly. Ma Zhi said to Master Tong Guan that the Ma family has lived in Youyun Sixteen States for generations, which is Beiping County A big family in Xuwu County. I hate Shi Jingtang for being despicable and shameless. In order to become emperor, he did not hesitate to be a traitor and ceded the sixteen prefectures of Youyun to the Khitan people in exchange for the Khitan people's support for him to proclaim himself emperor. A great threat. Shi Jingtang's actions have caused disasters for thousands of years, and he is indeed the number one traitor among the Han people.

"The ancestors of the Ma family were loyal and loyal. Although they were trapped in the Sixteen States of Youyun and became survivors squeezed by the Khitans, they never refused to submit to the Khitans. For hundreds of years, the Ma family members who were killed by the Khitans There were more than [-] people, and they killed more than [-] Khitan people. The survivors have suffered from the Khitan people's cruelty, and they have been looking forward to the Central Plains Dynasty's Northern Expedition to Khitan and retaking the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures so that they can regain their lives. It is a pity that after hundreds of years of waiting, the master Wang has not seen, and the survivors are still brutally slaughtered by the Khitan people.

"In Ma Zhi's generation, the situation has changed a lot. The Khitan people have lost the vigor of a hundred years ago. The emperor, nobles and ministers are greedy for pleasure, and they only drink and hunt every day, and play with prostitutes. The Khitan soldiers are gone. The heroic spirit of the past, and the general who commanded the army was even more greedy for life and fear of death, which is not worth mentioning. Just when the house leaked and the rain leaked, and the Khitan people were drunk and dreaming of death, a powerful tribe arose in a remote place in the northeast of Khitan , called Jurchens. Jurchens are proficient in riding and shooting, and are extremely brave. At the beginning, the Khitans were able to suppress the Jurchens thanks to their fine soldiers and food. The army was dispatched several times, trying to wipe out the Jurchens, but every time they were killed by the Jurchens, the casualties were heavy, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers were lost before and after. It was exhausted in the battle against the Jurchens.

"This time, the Liao Kingdom took advantage of the opportunity to celebrate the emperor's birthday to summon important officials from Dangxiang, Song Dynasty, Dongyi and other countries to the country, and performed military exercises in front of the envoys of various countries. It was quite intimidating, because women Zhenren has already occupied a large area of ​​land in the northeast of the Liao Kingdom, and has the intention of conquering the south. The monarchs and officials of the Liao Kingdom are afraid that Dangxiang, Song Dynasty, Dongyi and other countries will join hands with the Jurchens to besiege Khitan together, and the Liao Kingdom will inevitably be in danger of destroying the country. Taking advantage of the fact that the Jurchens have not yet entered the south, they want to subdue all countries first, so that they can deal with the Jurchens with all their strength.

"Master Tong Guan was surprised and happy when he heard what Ma Zhi said. However, he didn't dare to believe all that Ma Zhi said. So he pondered for a moment, and then said to Ma Zhi, Jurchen Rising, why didn’t the Central Plains hear any news? Ma Zhi replied that the tribe of the Jurchens was far away in the bitter cold land of Liaodong, thousands of miles away from the Central Plains. Moreover, the Liao kings and ministers were afraid that the news would leak out, so they concealed the defeat. Therefore, not to mention that the Han people in the Central Plains did not know about it, even the Khitan and Han people in the sixteen prefectures of Youyun, south of Yanjing, had never heard of the news of the rise of the Jurchens.

"Master Tong Guan heard this, and immediately asked Ma Zhi, since this matter is so confidential, how did you know? Ma Zhi said that he has always had a heart for the Song Dynasty, and he never wants to subvert the Khitan people and help Song Dynasty regain Youyun Sixteen prefectures. It’s just that the ancestors of the Ma family summoned the remnants many times to fight against the Khitans. In the end, because they were alone and had no reinforcements, they were defeated by the Khitans every time. He knew that if he fought hard against the Khitans, he could only He gave his life in vain, so he deliberately pretended to be an obedient citizen, and spent a lot of money to become an official in the Liao Kingdom. Now that he has been an official in the Liao Kingdom to Guangluqing, he naturally knows many secrets of the Liao Dynasty court. The Khitan people have been beaten into a mess by the Jurchens, and they even have the intention of moving the capital. If the Song Dynasty wants to take back the Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, now is a once-in-a-century opportunity!"
