changing situation,

No one expected that the Liao Kingdom would be defeated so badly. Although it lost the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, the Liao Kingdom retained a lot of strength, and its military strength increased instead of decreased.

However, facing the fierce Jin soldiers, Yelu Yanxi was once again defeated.

If a thunder bomb fired by the Liao army had not accidentally injured the Jin crown prince Wanyan Zongjun at the end of the battle, the Liao Dynasty might have almost been destroyed.

"Quick, save Zong Jun!"

Wanyan Aguda said anxiously.

However, the Jin Dynasty had just been established and its medical technology was backward. The doctors they used were all looted doctors from the Liao Dynasty, whose medical skills were not very good. Wanyan Zongjun's condition became more and more serious.

"Your Majesty, please forgive me. The injury from the thunderbolt is difficult to heal, and the prince's injury is quite serious. Unless the evil doctor Fan is here, I am afraid that the prince......"

Wanyan Aguda's face suddenly changed. Everyone in the world knew that the evil doctor Fan Zheng had extraordinary medical skills. However, the evil doctor Fan Zheng was far away in the Song Dynasty. If he rushed to the Song Dynasty, Wanyan Zongjun's body would probably be cold.

At this moment, a soldier suddenly reported: "Your Majesty, the Song envoy Qin Hui wants to see you!"

"Qin Hui? What is he here for?" Wanyan Wuqimai frowned.

Ever since Qin Hui had sown discord between them as uncle and nephew, Wanyan Wuqimai had been extremely displeased with Qin Hui and spoke in a cold voice.

"Qin Hui claims that he can save the prince!" the soldiers reported truthfully.

"How is that possible? He is not the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Wanyan Wuqimai sneered.

"Your Majesty, the Song envoy Qin Hui and the evil doctor Fan Zheng are brothers-in-law. Why not ask the Song envoy Qin Hui to mediate?" The Liao doctor said with an idea in his mind.

Wanyan Aguda was overjoyed when he heard this, and immediately waved his hand and said, "Quick, go and invite the Song envoy to come."

Soon, Qin Hui appeared in front of everyone. Seeing Wanyan Zongjun lying on the sickbed, he couldn't help but sigh, and was hesitant to speak. He looked as if Wanyan Zongjun didn't listen to him, which led to his end.

When Wanyan Wuqimai heard this, his face twitched and he wanted to get angry, but when he saw Wanyan Aguda here, he had to force himself to hold back.

"Envoy Qin, do you really have a way to cure Zong Jun?" Wanyan Aguda asked anxiously.

Qin Hui nodded and said, "The injury caused by the thunderbolt is indeed difficult to treat, but the King of Jin should know that the thunderbolt was created by the evil doctor Fan Zheng, who is also a great doctor of the time. Naturally, he has made great efforts to study the injury caused by the thunderbolt. After years of research, he finally developed a magical medicine, but the output is very small, and it is also kept secret in the Song Dynasty. Fortunately, my brother-in-law couldn't bear to see me go to the Kingdom of Jin. Before I left, he gave me a medicine to save my life. The prince and I hit it off right away, so how could I stand by and watch him die!"

At that moment, Qin Hui took out a packet of medicine and prepared to give it to Wanyan Zongjun.

"Who knows whether this medicine is real or fake?" Wanyan Wuqimai shouted coldly.

Qin Hui sneered, "If I wanted to harm the prince, I could just do nothing and watch him die of illness. Why would I risk my life like this? Why are you trying so hard to stop me from saving the prince?"

"You... Wanyan Wuqimai was furious and was about to argue when Wanyan Aguda interrupted them and made the final decision.

"Zong Jun is seriously ill. We can only try to save him now."

Qin Hui immediately ordered someone to give Wanyan Zongjun the medicine. This medicine was a good medicine for external injuries extracted by doctors of the Song Dynasty from old mustard brine. After taking the medicine, Wanyan Zongjun's external infection improved greatly. Although Wanyan Zongjun was still very weak, anyone could see that he was fine!
"Qin Hui takes his leave. I was able to save the prince once, but I cannot save him a second time." Qin Hui whispered in Wanyan Zongjun's ear.

Wanyan Zongjun was shocked, and he had some doubts about the unexpected thunder bomb at the end. After all, the Jin army had won a great victory, so how could it be such a coincidence? What's more, the Jin and Liao countries have been fighting since then, and the thunder bombs of the Liao country are also everywhere in the Jin country. It is possible that this thunder bomb was thrown by the Jin army.

"Thank you, Brother Qin, for saving my life. Zong Jun will always remember it!"

With the help of Qin Hui's treacherous nature, the seeds of doubt in Wanyan Zongjun's heart took root completely.

"One day, when the prince has nowhere to go, he can come south to find me. Although I am incompetent, I will protect the prince's safety in front of my brother-in-law." Qin Hui whispered to him before walking out of the military tent.

Wanyan Zongjun looked at Qin Hui's leaving back with a complicated look in his eyes.

Qin Hui was not far from the military tent when suddenly a sharp sword was placed across his neck. Qin Hui's heart skipped a beat and he knelt down and said, "Bo Jilie, spare my life!"

The Bojilie mentioned by Qin Hui was Wanyan Wuqimai. Wuqimai looked at the spineless Qin Hui, sneered and said, "You dare to sow discord between me and my nephew, you deserve death. No matter what you say today, you will not escape death."

Qin Hui suppressed his trembling and said respectfully: "If Bo Jilie kills me today, his entire clan will be in danger of being exterminated in the future."

Wanyan Wuqimai was furious and said, "You are just an envoy of the Song Dynasty. Even if you have some relationship with the evil doctor Fan Zheng, my Jin Dynasty is about to destroy Liao. I don't believe that the weak Song people will send troops to attack the Jin Dynasty for you."

He has tolerated Qin Hui for a long time. Now that the Jin Kingdom has destroyed the Liao Kingdom, it is time to kill Qin Hui and avenge himself.

Qin Hui shook his head and said, "The Song Dynasty may not avenge me, but Lord Bojilie's extermination is already doomed. The system of brother-to-brother succession is acceptable in tribes, but it is a way to death if it comes to governing a country. After Lord Bojilie succeeds to the throne, will he really pass it on to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince?"

"Of course!" Wanyan Wuqimai said proudly. He had never intended to monopolize the throne, nor would he let down his second brother's trust.

"What about Master Zong Pan? Does he think the same?" Qin Hui asked back.

Wanyan Wuqimai was shocked and looked at Qin Hui as if he were a devil.

"Once the rule of elder brother succeeding younger brother is implemented, one of the clans will be exterminated. Our Song Dynasty was able to preserve Taizu's lineage because it is a country of etiquette and it was also built on the basis that Crown Prince Zhao Dezhao would have no descendants. The Jin Dynasty had just been established and the grassland culture was still there. Between you and the crown prince, one of the clans will be exterminated. Do you think it will be your clan that will have the last laugh, or the crown prince's clan?" Qin Hui said in a low voice.

Wanyan Wuqimai suddenly felt a chill in his chest. The entire Jin Dynasty was conquered by Wanyan Aguda, so naturally many generals were on the side of the prince. His chances of winning were not high at all.

He is willing to abide by the system of succession from elder brother to younger brother and pass the throne to the crown prince. But will the crown prince continue to abide by the system of succession from elder brother to younger brother, or choose the system of succession from father to son?

For a moment, Wanyan Wuqimai was torn between his conscience and his desires.

Qin Hui once again showed his devilish smile and said, "One day, Master Bojilie has nowhere to go and can go south. Although Qin Hui is not talented, he can ask his brother-in-law to protect you."

Wanyan Wuqimai shouted angrily: "You traitor, I will spare your life today because you saved my nephew's life. If you continue to sow discord between me and my nephew, don't blame me for being merciless!"

Qin Hui escaped from death and was not afraid at all. Instead, he showed a smug smile.

"The evil doctor Fan Zheng is indeed extraordinary. His brother-to-brother inheritance has split the once-solid Jin Dynasty. One day, it will surely become the source of the Jin Dynasty's demise, and Qin Hui will be the greatest contributor to the destruction of the Jin Dynasty." Qin Hui stood up and said.

Soon, with the help of Fan Zheng's good medicine, Wanyan Zongjun recovered quickly.

Wanyan Zongjun and Wanyan Wuqimai restored the harmony between uncle and nephew, but everyone could feel the undercurrents surging within the Jin Dynasty.

Wanyan Aguda naturally noticed this scene, but he was powerless to stop it. He could only turn his spearhead outward and focus on destroying Liao, and even go south to attack Song in the future. As long as there were powerful enemies outside the Jin Dynasty, the Jin Dynasty would never be divided.

"kill!"

Under the leadership of Wanyan Aguda, the Jin Kingdom once again launched a fierce attack on the Liao Kingdom. The Liao Emperor Yelu Yanshi lost a large amount of troops and territory and could only flee in a hurry.

Moreover, the Liao Kingdom was now isolated and helpless. Its former ally, the Western Xia, had been destroyed by the Song Dynasty, which was eyeing it covetously from the sidelines, and the Jin Kingdom was biting at its heels. Yelu Yanxi had no where to go.

"The Liao Dynasty is about to perish!" In the Jiashan Mountains, Yelu Yanxi sighed to the sky.

He never imagined that the once-mighty Liao Kingdom would collapse in such a short period of time.

The rise of the Jurchens, the demise of the Western Xia, and the defeat of the Liao Dynasty were followed by repeated internal strife and rebellion, which caused the Liao Dynasty's national strength to plummet.

"Your Majesty, don't be pessimistic. Aunt Nanyin has already conquered a large amount of territory in the Western Regions, which is enough for the Liao Dynasty to revive again!" The eldest son Yelu Xinile comforted.

"Nanyin!"

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but recall how harmonious their brother and sister life used to be, but now they were separated. He was once very angry at Yelu Nanyin for voluntarily giving up the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun and retreating to the Western Regions.

But now it seems that Nanyin's decision was correct. He led his troops to be invincible in the Western Regions and soon conquered a large territory, leaving a way out for the Liao Kingdom.

"Now your aunt Nanyin calls herself the empress in the Western Regions, and gave birth to a prince not long ago. As the saying goes, there is no two suns in the sky, and no man has two masters. What should we do if we retreat to the Western Regions?" Yelu Yanxi asked.

Yelu Xinile gritted his teeth and said, "What my aunt brought to the Western Regions are all the forces of the Liao Kingdom. They should be under the command of my father. As for that prince, he is the illegitimate son of my aunt and the evil doctor Fan Zheng. We can use this opportunity to threaten the evil doctor Fan Zheng to help the Liao Kingdom."

"You rebellious son, she is your aunt, how can you slander her like this?" Yelu Yanxi shouted angrily.

Yelu Xi Nilie said: "My son is devoted to the restoration of the Liao Dynasty and has no second thoughts."

Yelu Yanxi's eyes flashed with pride and he said, "I am the emperor of the Liao Dynasty, and you are the crown prince of the Liao Dynasty. Your aunt is a woman and can retreat westward, but you and I cannot retreat westward, let alone seize your aunt's little bit of inheritance and let the Liao Dynasty fight internally again and destroy the Liao Dynasty's last retreat."

"Father!" Yelu Xinile wanted to persuade him again.

Yelu Yanxi said in a deep voice: "Your aunt's Western Liao can only be the last retreat of the Liao Kingdom. It is to keep a trace of fire for my Liao Kingdom. As emperors, it is your and my responsibility to die for the country. I will let the women and children of the Liao Kingdom take the initiative to go to Western Liao and seek refuge with your aunt. You and I will attack the Jin Kingdom without distraction. Even if we die in battle, we must fight for the dignity of my Great Liao!"

At the end of his rope, Yelu Yanxi still holds on to the dignity of an emperor!
"Yes! Father!" Yelu Xinile bowed solemnly.

At that moment, the remaining forces of the Liao Dynasty in Jiashan were divided into two. One part, including the elderly, the weak, women and children, went to Western Liao to seek refuge with Yelu Nanyin, while the other elite forces, led by Yelu Yanxi, went out of Jiashan again and attacked the Jin army!
"kill!"

Wanyan Aguda was also eager to fight the Liao Kingdom, so he immediately fought a decisive battle with Yelu Yanxi! "

In this battle, the two armies fought fiercely. The Liao army displayed the bloodiness that a great country should have. From Yelu Yanxi to ordinary soldiers, they fought to the last moment and died of exhaustion.

"The Great Jin has won!" Wanyan Aguda shouted. This battle completely wiped out the remaining forces of Yelu Yanxi, and the Liao Kingdom no longer had the power to resist.

Of course he had also heard of Western Liao, but it was far away in the Western Regions and was no longer enough to pose a threat to the Jin Dynasty.

Today, the Jin Kingdom has annexed the grassland territory of the Liao Kingdom. Unfortunately, a large number of Liao people have fled to Western Liao, and the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in the south have also been recovered by the Liao Dynasty, preventing the Jin Kingdom from taking over the most prosperous Liao Kingdom.

But even so, Wanyan Aguda was already quite satisfied. After all, a few years ago, the Jin Kingdom was just a small tribe in the northeast, but now it owns a vast territory. How magnificent it is.

"Let's return to the capital!" Wanyan Aguda said in high spirits.

Now that the Jin Kingdom has fewer external enemies, it is time to resolve the conflicts. He is well aware of the conflict between his son Wanyan Zongjun and his fourth brother Wanyan Wuqimai.

Now is the time to solve it. The answer in his mind is already very clear. Song, Liao and Xia all used the system of brother-to-brother succession, but in the end they all adopted the system of father-to-son succession. For the sake of the Jin Dynasty, he could only let his fourth brother down.

Just when Wanyan Aguda made up his mind, suddenly, the ground shook.

"Cavalry is coming!"

Wanyan Aguda was shocked. Just by listening to the sound, he judged that there were at most 100,000 cavalrymen. He had already completely destroyed the Liao Kingdom, and it was impossible for such a large cavalry to appear on the grassland.

"Song army! Defend!"

Wanyan Aguda gritted his teeth. He did not expect that the Song army would be so despicable. They actually came to attack when the Jin Kingdom was destroying the Liao Kingdom and snatch the fruits of victory.

Soon, the Song army rushed close and saw a large flag with the word "Fan" flying over them.

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Wanyan Aguda said gritting his teeth.

He was well aware of the name of the evil doctor Fan Zheng. Although he had never met this person, it was the evil doctor Fan Zheng who personally named him to succeed the position of the Jurchen leader. With the help of the evil doctor Fan Zheng, he unified the Jurchens step by step, attacked the Liao Kingdom, and finally destroyed the Liao Kingdom, as if he was his puppet.

How could he not be prepared when facing such a terrifying enemy? He originally thought that he would stir up conflicts between his son and fourth brother before attacking the Jin Kingdom. This was in line with the style of the evil doctor Fan Zheng who loved to use evil prescriptions.

But no one expected that he would choose the time when the Jin Dynasty was at its peak to lead the Song Dynasty cavalry to fight against the Jin Dynasty!
"Didn't the intelligence say that the evil doctor Fan Zheng was recalled by the Emperor of the Song Dynasty with twelve golden medals? Because the emperor and his ministers were at odds, he has been idle at home!" Wanyan Zongjun exclaimed.

"This must be a conspiracy of the Song Dynasty!" Wanyan Aguda said coldly.

"kill!"

Fan Zheng looked at the Jin army so close at hand and couldn't help but sneer in his heart. He did like to use evil methods, but now the strength of the Song Dynasty has greatly increased, and he no longer needs to use evil methods. This time, he wants to defeat the Jin Kingdom fairly and completely eliminate the threat from the north of the Song Dynasty.

Soon, the two cavalry units collided with each other in an instant, and the sounds of fighting, the sound of the crossbow and the thunder were endless. In this battle, the soldiers of Song and Jin showed extremely high combat effectiveness. The soldiers of Jin were brave and had extraordinary combat power. The soldiers of the Song Dynasty were well-armed and their gunpowder bombs were amazingly powerful.

In the end, mortal flesh was still no match for the roar of gunpowder. Under the bombardment of thunder bombs, the Jin soldiers suffered heavy losses and were gradually defeated.

"Father, as long as we have the green mountains, we will never be short of firewood!" Seeing that the Jin army was doomed to be defeated, Wanyan Zongjun immediately persuaded Wanyan Aguda.

Wanyan Aguda looked embarrassed. Since the Jin Dynasty attacked Liao, it could be said that it was invincible, but now it had suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Fan Zheng.

"Withdraw!" Wanyan Aguda gave the order.

At that moment, Wanyan Aguda sounded the call to call back his troops and retreated to the east.

"General Fan, do we want to continue the pursuit?" Song Jiang rode forward and asked.

Fan Zheng shook his head and said, "Don't chase after the desperate enemy. Our army should consolidate the victory first!"

"But Wanyan Aguda is a great hero. What if..." Zong Shidao stepped forward and said worriedly.

Zong Shidao had been resisting the Western Xia, so he naturally knew how difficult it was to deal with a founding hero. Today's Wanyan Aguda is even more powerful than Li Yuanhao back then. Now the national strength of the Jin Dynasty is even stronger than that of the Western Xia back then.

Fan Zheng sneered, "It doesn't matter. The Jin Kingdom has leapt from a small Jurchen tribe to become the overlord of the grassland. It may seem powerful, but it is like building a tall building on sandy land. Its foundation is doomed to be unstable. Pass the order on. The Song Dynasty will implement the Tusi system on the grassland. All tribal leaders will inherit the throne as long as they do not betray the Song Dynasty."

"The chieftain system!"

Zong Shidao's eyes lit up. The chieftain system was working well in the various departments of Dali. Each tribe was independent and could no longer form a solid block. They were powerless to resist the central government. If the chieftain system was implemented on the grassland, it might be able to solve the border problems on the grassland throughout the dynasties and quickly disintegrate the power of the Jin Dynasty.

After all, the Jin Kingdom had just conquered the grassland not long ago, and the various tribes had not yet returned. The chieftain system was enough to make the various tribes abandon the Jin Kingdom and join the Song Dynasty.

"Master Fan is wise!"

Zong Shidao admired him.

At that moment, messengers from the Song army were sent out everywhere. With the Song army's great victory over the Jin Kingdom, the news that the Song Dynasty intended to implement the chieftain system spread across the grassland.

The chieftain system had been implemented in the southwest for several years and had long been heard of on the grasslands. The Jin Dynasty established its country through military force and was quite brutal, so the grassland tribes had no choice but to succumb to its military force.

However, the chieftain system of the Song Dynasty was different. Not only did it give them the power of autonomy, it also gave them the hope of hereditary succession. One must know that on the grasslands, small tribes were often in danger of extinction. Once they had the protection of the chieftains of the Song Dynasty, they would no longer have to worry.

In a short period of time, a large number of grassland tribes surrendered to the Song army.

Wanyan Aguda originally thought that after his retreat, he would have a buffer zone where he could display his military prowess and defeat the Song army.

However, as the chieftain system spread, a large number of grassland tribes surrendered to the Song Dynasty, and Wanyan Aguda had less and less space. Not only was he unable to recruit troops, but he was besieged by more and more grassland tribes.

Under Fan Zheng's relentless pressure, Wanyan Aguda had no choice but to retreat step by step until he reached Shangjing, the capital of Liao, where he was able to gain a foothold.

"Tell Wuqimai to send troops. This time, I want to fight the evil doctor Fan Zheng!" Wanyan Aguda knew that if he retreated again, he would only be defeated in the end! Instead of doing that, he might as well fight hard. Last time, he was ambushed by the Song army and suffered such a defeat. This time, he wanted to defeat the evil doctor Fan Zheng in an upright manner.

Soon, the messenger returned in a hurry, but there was no one behind him!
"Where is Wuqimai?" Wanyan Aguda was stunned and asked in astonishment.

The messenger said bitterly: "Your Majesty, Bojilie said that he is willing to insist on the succession of the elder brother to the younger brother, and decided to be the chieftain of Liaodong in the Song Dynasty."

"What? I have already promised to pass the throne to him, why doesn't he believe me!" Wanyan Aguda said angrily.

"Bojile said that he believes Your Majesty, but not His Royal Highness the Crown Prince! What he is doing now is only to protect himself, and at the same time to leave a way out for the Jurchens!" The messenger answered truthfully.

"I don't believe the prince!" Wanyan Aguda was shocked and glanced at Wanyan Zongjun. He felt guilty. Not to mention Wanyan Zongjun, even he himself had let down his fourth brother's trust.

"Qin Hui!"

"Evil doctor Fan Zheng!"

Wanyan Aguda roared, and then he gathered all his troops and fought against the Song army again.

"kill!"

Wanyan Aguda was looking at the Song army opposite with a rage in his heart. The last time, he had just experienced a great battle and his men and horses were exhausted. This time, his soldiers had been well-rested and had collected enough thunder bombs. It was a head-on confrontation again. He was confident that he could defeat the Song army head-on!

Just as Wanyan Aguda attacked the Song army's position, Fan Zheng in the Song army smiled coldly and said, "Wanyan Aguda is indeed a great hero, but unfortunately, this is no longer the era of personal bravery. Pass the order, fire!"

"Fire!" Song Jiang immediately gave the order.

In an instant, the artillery hidden in the Song army was pushed out, revealing its grim muzzle.

"boom!"

"boom!"

"boom!"

One after another, earth-shaking sounds appeared on the battlefield for the first time, demonstrating tremendous destructive power.

Under the bombardment of artillery, the Jin army suffered heavy losses, with broken arms and limbs flying everywhere, causing tremendous psychological pressure on the Jin army.

Wanyan Aguda was furious when he saw this. These were the most courageous warriors of the Jin Kingdom, and they had suffered heavy casualties before they even attacked the Song army's position. How many evil prescriptions did the evil doctor Fan Zheng have? How could he have such a powerful weapon?

"It's over!"

Wanyan Zongjun felt a chill in his heart.

The Song army was well-armed and had more powerful thunder bombs. With such powerful weapons, the Jin Dynasty was doomed to be defeated.

On that day, the evil doctor Fan Zheng led the Song army to a decisive battle with Wanyan Aguda in Shangjing, and Wanyan Aguda's entire army was wiped out.

The Song Dynasty completed the super unification! Unified the grasslands and the Central Plains.

"No!"

Fan Zheng reined in his horse and looked south. This was not the end of the Song Dynasty. One day, the Song Dynasty would be able to conquer the world and unify it!
