...

Wanyan Aguda soon received the news that Taifeng had been destroyed.

For Taifeng to be destroyed, Wanyan Aguda was not surprised at all.

Over the years, the Gongfu Group has done a lot of evil in its territory. It has never developed and governed the Thai Feng Kingdom, and it has completely adopted a suppressive situation to govern internally.

In this case, even if there is no one to defeat, Taifeng will perish sooner or later.

Moreover, its so-called 15 army can also suppress the poor people in Taifeng, and its combat power is not even as good as that of the Song army.

If there is no Koryo army to gnaw hard bones, even the 10,000+ mob in Taifeng would not be enough for one side of the Liangshan army to fight.

But then again, the combat power of the Taifeng army is scum, but no matter what, Taifeng is also a country, and it is still united with Korea.

It only took six days from the decisive battle to the destruction of Taifeng by Shuibo Liangshan.

This speed is too appalling.

The point is that the Liangshan army not only destroyed Taifeng, but also defeated the Koryo army, and even besieged Koryo Xijing, the capital of Koryo!

Wanyan Agu hit his heart, raising the combat power of Liangshan Army to another level.

At the same time, Wanyan Aguda also began to consider whether to fight this battle?

Is Wanyan Agu scared?

No.

But the situation forced it.

First of all, Taifeng was destroyed, Goryeo was defeated, and the capital of Goryeo, Xijing, was surrounded by the Liangshan Army.

In other words, the rear of Shuibo Liangshan will be stabilized soon, and then Li Yan's hundreds of thousands of troops will be able to rush north to join the battle. At that time, Li Yan will have an absolute superiority of troops to start a full-scale war with him.

Secondly, the current situation in the Kingdom of Jin is very unstable. If it loses a battle, it may lead to a complete collapse.

Emperor Tianzuo was unwilling to fail.

Therefore, Emperor Tianzuo recruited many remnants and defeated generals of the Liao Kingdom, and went north to Tatar, and actively sent envoys to Xixia to prepare for a comeback.

(In the literature of the Song Dynasty, the tribes of the Mongolian plateau are often referred to as Tatars, and they are divided into black Tatars (referring to the tribes of Mongolia) and white Tatars (referring to Wang Ancient Ministry), Raw Tatar.)
Liao Xing, the Tatar tribes passed through the various dynasties of Liao Taizu Yeluyi to Liao Shengzong Yelulongxu, and they were all subordinate tribes of the Liao court. The Liao court appointed their leaders as the king (or Yili Jin) and placed them in the northwest The road recruits the division to unify it; and builds three cities between the upper reaches of the Orhun River and the Tula River, and sets up the three prefectures of Zhen, Fang, and Wei, garrisons and garrisons, and open up farmland.

In other words, the Tatar tribes were originally vassals of the Liao Kingdom.

The point is that in recent years of the Liaojin War, the Tatar tribes have taken the opportunity to develop, and now they have extraordinary strength-the Tatar tribe in the Hulunbeier Grassland, and the Kelie tribe centered on the upper reaches of the Orkhon River, rising from the Onon River, the Kelie tribe The Qiyan tribe in the middle and upper reaches of the Lulun River, the Naiman tribe in the area from the Altai Mountains to the Hang'ai Mountains, and the Wanggu tribe in the south of Monan are all very strong.

Moreover, many tribes of Tatar have close contacts with the Liao Kingdom.

Therefore, if they were really persuaded by Emperor Tianzuo, it would be a huge trouble for the Kingdom of Jin.

In addition, Xixia responded to Jin Guo's proposal to send troops, but the benefits were all taken by Song Guo. Xixia mobilized the army in vain, which made Xixia very dissatisfied.

Therefore, Li Qianshun sent an invitation to Emperor Tianzuo to live in Xixia for a long time.

Wanyan Aguda knew that Li Qianshun was doing this for Da Jin Guo to warn them.

And this kind of warning, no one knows whether it will eventually become true.

Therefore, this needs to be handled properly by Jin Guo.

If the Kingdom of Jin could not handle the affairs of Tatars and Xixia well, and Emperor Tianzuo persuaded the tribes of Tatars and Xixia, then the good situation of the Kingdom of Jin would probably be wiped out.

Again, something happened to the relocation of the nobles from Yandi to the interior of Jin. No, to be more precise, something happened to Pingzhou Road (Ping, Luan, and Ying).

Zhang Jue was a native of Yifeng, Pingzhou. When he was young, he was admitted as a Jinshi of the Liao Kingdom, and was later awarded the Deputy Envoy of Jiedu of the Liao Xingjun (ie Pingzhou Road).

When the Liao Kingdom was in great chaos, Pingzhou militiamen killed the envoy of the state. Zhang Jue stepped forward to appease him, and was elected by Pingzhou people to lead the state affairs.

After Yeluchun died, Zhang Jue realized the danger of the Liao Kingdom, so he began to secretly recruit troops to strengthen his military strength. Recruit talented scholar-bureaucrats to participate in the conspiracy and prepare for the hegemony.

When Xiao Puxian was in power, she sent Prince Shaobao Shi Li'ai to know Pingzhou.

After Shi Liai took office, Zhang Jue respected him superficially, but actually rejected him everywhere.

Shi Liai was very shrewd, and quickly noticed that Zhang Jue had different ambitions, so she often said that she would not get sick, and that all major military and political affairs in Pingzhou were decided by Zhang Jue.

The Kingdom of Jin attached great importance to the strategic position of Ping, Luan, and Ying areas. Zong Han once planned to send troops to capture Pingzhou. They are all villagers, they don’t have weapons and armor, and they don’t give them money, what can they do? They should be shown without any doubt, and then slowly figure it out, before it’s too late.”

Based on the situation at the time, Wanyan Aguda finally sent someone to Pingzhou, recalled Shi Liai, appointed Zhang Jue as the governor of Linhai, and still knew about the affairs of the Pingzhou military.

Zhang Jue was paralyzed by Wanyan Aguda, crying and said: "There are eight roads in the Liao Kingdom, and the seven roads are dead. There is only one Pingzhou Road left. How dare you have hope? The reason why the soldiers under me have not been disarmed and returned to the field is mainly because It is to defend against Xiao Qian's invasion."

Later, Wanyan Aguda changed Pingzhou Road to Nanjing of the Kingdom of Jin, and Zhang Jue was granted the title of Pingzhang under Tong Zhongshu and concurrently served as the left-behind in Nanjing.

Wanyan Aguda sent officials from the Liao Kingdom to organize Yan Min to travel from Yuguan, Pingzhou, and Luanzhou to Shangjing in the Kingdom of Jin.

At the beginning of May, when Yanmin went to Pingzhou, one Yanmin quietly left the northbound team, ran to Pingzhou City, and cried to Zhang Jue: "The Liao Kingdom is in great misfortune. First, it was rebelled by Jurchens, and then Liao The massacre of evil thieves has caused the country's affairs to be unsatisfactory. Your Majesty has left. You are a loyal minister of the Liao Kingdom, and you control Pingzhou, a territory that can be attacked, retreated, and defended. You have a strong army in your hands, and you can bear to watch us Were these Liao people forced to go to the desolate Mobei by the Jurchens?"

Hearing Yan Min's cry, Zhang Jue felt his blood boil, and he immediately summoned all the officials and generals under his command to hold a meeting to discuss countermeasures.

Someone said: "Recently, I heard that Your Majesty has visited several Tatar tribes, and the troops have regained strength. Now they are marching towards the south of Songmo. It will also inevitably hurt your vitality. If Duke Ming can hold high the banner of King Qin at this time, sing righteousness to the world, and please His Majesty, then the revival of the Liao Kingdom is just around the corner. Beheaded, and then let the Yan people go back to Yan, presumably the Song State will definitely accept the Yan people, so Pingzhou will become a feudal town, if the Jin army comes to attack in the future, we will use the army of Pingzhou internally, and get the aid of the Song State externally , why be afraid!"

Zhang Jue felt that what his subordinates said was very reasonable, so he secretly sent general Zhang Qian to lead an army of five hundred horses to arrest the demoted officials of the Liao Kingdom.

Zhang Qian caught up with the descendants of the Liao Kingdom who were escorting the Yan people, and killed them all.

Afterwards, Zhang Jue sent people to post a notice along the road: All Yan people can stop going to the Kingdom of Jin, and they can go home to live and work in peace.

After hearing the news, the people of Yan rushed to tell each other, and returned to their hometowns one after another in high spirits.

Zhang Jue asked people to draw another portrait of Emperor Tianzuo, which was hung in the lobby and paid homage to him day and night.

This incident greatly affected the national policy of the Jin Kingdom, and even affected the rule of the Jin Kingdom.

More importantly, the road to Pingzhou is too important. For Jin Guo, there is no room for loss.

Therefore, the troubles in Pingzhou must be resolved as soon as possible.

Finally, and most importantly, during the recent period, Wanyan Aguda's body has become weaker and weaker, and his clothes are often wet with sweat. Wanyan Aguda feels that his condition has worsened, and he may not even be able to survive this summer.

Under such circumstances, a decisive battle with Shuibo Liangshan, right?
