Xianxia version of Water Margin

…

Feng Shengzhou.

Many Jin people were so angry that they flew into a rage!

After more than a month of inquiring and confirming, the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom finally figured out that Shuibo Liangshan and the Zhao and Song Dynasties were completely different. They were deceived by Ke Yin and Yunbi's masters and servants, namely Chai Jin and Yan Qing. !

I really don’t blame the Jin people for their slow response.

In fact, Jiang Hongfei's title of Duke of Qi and military governor of Liangshan is too deceptive.

Moreover, even the Zhao and Song Dynasties were vigorously promoting that Jiang Hongfei was recruited by them and went north to recover Yanjing under the orders of the Zhao and Song Dynasties.

In addition, Chai Jin and Yan Qing are eloquent.

The key is that transportation and communication are really inconvenient in this era.

The key point is that the information collected by the Jinren must be carefully compared and distinguished whether it is true or false.

All of this takes time.

The golden talents have been kept in the dark.

It wasn't until Yizhou, Zhuozhou, Yanjing, and Juyongguan changed hands one after another, and two more envoys sent by Wanyan Aguda to test Jiang Hongfei were detained by Jiang Hongfei again for a long time that the Jin Dynasty realized that there might be a problem.

Wanyan Zongwang quickly sent more spies to Yanjing and Xiongzhou and even to the territory of the Zhao and Song Dynasties to inquire about information. Finally, he gradually found out that Jiang Hongfei was a national traitor who was separatist in the Zhao and Song Dynasty's territory. The Zhao Song Dynasty could not defeat Jiang Hongfei because it could not defeat him. Instead of making Jiang Hongfei the Duke of Qi and the Military Envoy of Liangshan, he ceded Shandong and Hebei to Jiang Hongfei.

In addition, the Jin people also figured out that the Zhao and Song dynasties, which had signed a maritime alliance with them, now have many domestic problems and are about to be divided up by the four major bandits, Jiang Hongfei, Tian Hu, Wang Qing, and Fang La, and they have no ability at all. Join forces with them to destroy Liao.

When all this information was placed on Wanyan Aguda's table, Liu Qi and Wu Jie under Jiang Hongfei had already recaptured Tanzhou and Jingzhou, including Gubeikou and Songting Pass under the control of these two states. Jin It is no longer easy for people to break into Yan territory. They completely fell into the delaying strategy of Jiang Hongfei and his ministers. It can also be said that they were deceived by Jiang Hongfei and his ministers.

Wanyan Zonghan said with a ferocious face: "In my opinion, first kill Ke Yin and Yunbi Jiqi, and then raise an army to attack Yanjing and tear off Jiang Yan's head. I, Dajin, can never teach others to act like monkeys!"

Wan Yanxie also shook his head: "Now that the matter has come to this, what's the point of killing two dead soldiers? In my opinion, the Song Dynasty can no longer go north, and all the treaties negotiated with my family can only be a piece of paper, which is ugly to say the least. It is not yet known whether the Song Dynasty can quell the chaos and restore the country. However, it is definitely extraordinary that this Shuibo Liangshan can capture Yanjing under our noses. It is better to make mistakes and form an alliance with this Shuipo Liangshan. "

Wanyan Aguda was silent for a while and said: "Then will this Shuibo Liangshan recognize the covenant my family negotiated with the Song Dynasty?"

Although Wanyan Aguda did not point out the specific treaty, all the Jin people knew that Wanyan Aguda was concerned about the fact that the Zhao and Song Dynasty promised to give them the annual coins of the Jin Kingdom.

In other words, Wanyan Aguda had no objection to forming an alliance with Shuibo Liangshan, but Shuibo Liangshan had to agree to give them the annual coins of the Jin Dynasty that the Zhao and Song Dynasties promised to them.

Wanyan Zongwang said coldly: "If his family dares not to agree, I will beat him until he agrees!"

Wanyan Aguda was silent. He spent half his life fighting in the north and south, making the Kingdom of Jin grow from scratch to strong. He knew a simple truth, that is, what cannot be obtained on the battlefield cannot be obtained at the negotiation table. It is difficult to get, especially when the opponent is a strong man, so if you can't reach an agreement with Shuibo Liangshan, a fight is also necessary.

Wanyan Aguda waved his hand and motioned Wanyan Zongwang to go and talk.

After receiving the order, Wanyan Zongwang came to the tent where Chai Jin and Yan Qing lived.

To be honest, Wanyan Zongwang's mood was a bit complicated.

When Chai Jin first came to Fengshengzhou, Wanyan Zongwang had chatted with Chai Jin.

Wanyan Zongwang thought that he had seen a great talent when he learned that Chai Jin had both civil and military talents, was wise and courageous, knew astronomy and geography, could distinguish the wind and clouds of Liujia, understood the colors of heaven and earth, had knowledge of three religions and nine streams, and hundreds of schools of thought.

Moreover, Chai Jin's eloquent talk and words made Wanyan Zongwang very happy, so he left Chai Jin to take care of him.

Later, in the process of getting along with each other, Wanyan Zongwang was very happy to see Chai Jin and Yan Qing speaking well and being knowledgeable and courteous.

Moreover, Chai Jin and Yan Qing appeared to be unconventional, and they would use flattering words to flatter people in order to get their way.

This made Wanyan Zongwang extremely fond of Chai Jin and Yan Qing, and he often talked with them.

Not only Wanyan Zongwang, but also the top brass of the Jin Kingdom all liked Chai Jin and Yan Qing, especially the former, and even Wanyan Aguda was no exception.

What Chai Jin didn't know was that because he performed so well, Wanyan Zongwang even moved. When the affairs between the Song and Jin countries were settled, they would not let him go back to the Zhao and Song dynasties, but would keep him by his side.

Unexpectedly, Chai Jin turned out to be a dead soldier sent by Jiang Hongfei.

This undoubtedly made Wanyan Zongwang feel that he had been greatly deceived, just like a woman who had been defrauded of money and sex by a scumbag.

Therefore, as soon as he saw Chai Jin, Wanyan Zongwang shouted sternly: "Ke Yin, I'm afraid you won't be able to return to Liangshanbo this time!"

When Chai Jin and Yan Qing heard this, they knew that the Jin people already knew the whole story.

Chai Jin looked very calm and said slowly: "Since the second prince knows, I will not hide or tuck in with the second prince. These brothers are not the envoys of Zhao Song Dynasty, Ke Yin and Yun Bi. In fact, it is the gods and Buddhas, the great saints of heaven, and the righteousness and thin clouds that shake the universe. Jiang Yan, Jiang Hongfei, the master of Shuibo Liangshan Dazhai, Chai Jin and Yan Qing are also here. On behalf of me, Shuibo Liangshan, I come to talk to you about your and our two families joining forces. Destroying Liao and peaceful coexistence in the future.”

Wanyan Zongwang narrowed his eyes slightly. He didn't expect Chai Jin and Yan Qing to be so calm: "Aren't they afraid of death?"

Wanyan Zongwang did not answer Chai Jin's words, and only said: "Was Shuibo Liangshan sending you two to Fengshengzhou to do it for the sake of death? I didn't expect that the Great Sage of Heaven you talk about would abandon the orders of scholar-bureaucrats like a piece of grass!"

The so-called "dead room" is one of the five rooms in Sun Tzu's Art of War. It refers to a spy who sneaks into the enemy's camp, creates, spreads and delivers false information to deceive the enemy. Because once the truth is exposed, he will definitely die, so it is called the "dead room".

Chai Jin laughed and said, "Brother Chai came here to exchange his own life for the life of Quan Jin. If you can understand it, you will live together; if you can't understand it, you will die together. Since we came to Fengsheng Prefecture At that time, I never thought about going back alive.”

When Chai Jin and Yan Qing came here, they really put life and death aside, so Chai Jin went on to say forcefully:

"Chai believes that the best strategy for a soldier is to use time. Water can carry a boat or capsize it. Either use time to achieve success, or use time to achieve failure. You are strong and I am weak, or you and I are evenly matched. At this time, maybe you can Use time to separate, but currently, our dynasty has millions of troops, and your dynasty can only have 200,000 or 300,000 horses at most. The strength of the two dynasties is very different, why use time? In the Yuwang Grassland, we have already divided our troops into formations. I wonder how your generals can resist them. In such a situation, why would it be contrary to common sense for our government to send people to analyze your fortunes and misfortune? Therefore, what the Second Prince just said is as clear as a child’s!”

Wanyan Zongwang was furious: "How dare you insult my court and me?!"

Chai Jin continued to state without fear: "My two brothers came here to harmonize our families, but the second prince used words to threaten and refuse good advice. If the world heard this, wouldn't they laugh at you today? Chai Jin and Yan Qing died in front of the second prince to show everyone in the world not to come to the Kingdom of Jin to offer their kind words again, so as to clear our reputation as lobbyists!"

Yan Qing then said sonorously and forcefully: "My lord is in the east, so don't let me die facing the west. I hope the second prince will do it!"

Seeing Chai Jin and Yan Qing looking forward to death, Wanyan Zongwang couldn't help but feel a little moved!

In fact, Wanyan Zongwang didn't know much about Jiang Hongfei, a man who rose up in a small puddle in the Zhao and Song Dynasties, but he didn't need to look at anything else. Just seeing that Jiang Hongfei had heroes like Chai Jin and Yan Qing, Wanyan Zongwang knew that Jiang Hongfei He is definitely not an ordinary person, and maybe Jiang Hongfei will be their great enemy of the Golden Kingdom.

After a long silence, Wanyan Zongwang spoke up to stop the conversation: "Since you two said that you are here to discuss joint destruction of Liao and peaceful coexistence on behalf of Shuibo Liangshan, then let's talk about it."

Seeing Yan Zongwang pull back his words, Chai Jin felt relieved. Who would want to die if he could live, so he also pulled back his words:

"Now that we have captured Yanjing, it is really a celebration to destroy the Empress Dowager Xiao. After all, the Empress Dowager Xiao is also your family's enemy. Today, the fortunes of the Liao Dynasty are all poor. As long as you and I work together to capture the Lord of Liao, this big Wasn't Liao destroyed by your family?"

Faced with what Chai Jin said, Wanyan Zongwang didn't say a word, but quietly waited for Chai Jin to say something useful later.

Seeing this, Chai Jin stopped talking nonsense and briefly elaborated on Shuibo Liangshan's proposition: "The Jiuzhou area behind the mountain was originally Han land and was occupied by Khitan during the Five Dynasties. Now, our dynasty wants to join forces with your dynasty to eliminate the Lord of Liao , to destroy the Liao Kingdom, your dynasty will take the area around Shangjing, Tokyo, and Zhongjing, and our dynasty will take the area around Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, as well as the three prefectures of Ping, Luan, and Ying, along with all the passes under their control. I wonder what your dynasty thinks?"

Wanyan Zongwang smiled coldly: "The Khitans are unruly and have been defeated by our court. All the Khitan states and cities should belong to our court, and they are all my family's land."

Chai Jin listened and smiled lightly: "If the second prince said this, then Chai would make a wild statement: Whether the Liao will be destroyed or not is not decided by your court, but by my court. Jiuzhou behind the mountain Whether you give it to me or not is not up to you, it’s up to me as well.”

Wanyan Zongwang got angry and yelled: "Do you really think I don't dare to kill you? You actually insulted my court repeatedly!"

Chai Jin slowly stood up and said with a smile: "Second Prince, don't be anxious, please listen to what I have to say."

Without waiting for Wanyan Zongwang to agree, Chai Jin took the initiative and said: "The second prince may not have thought that my family is not a weak and incompetent Liao Kingdom. Our family has millions of powerful troops and thousands of generals. If our court is willing to fight with the Lord of Liao, To form an alliance, let alone the sixteen states of Yanyun and the three states of Ping, Luan, and Ying, our family also wants Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Tokyo. The Lord of Liao must also agree. The second prince thinks about it carefully. I am right. ?”

The five capitals of the Liao Kingdom are indeed the core of the Liao Kingdom and the political, economic and cultural center of the Liao Kingdom.

Under normal circumstances, it would have been impossible for the Liao Kingdom to cede the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom to Jiang Hongfei.

But the problem is that all the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom are no longer in the hands of the Liao Kingdom, but have been divided between the Jin Kingdom and Shuibo Liangshan.

Not only that, Yelu Yanxi's life safety is now under serious threat.

In this case, if Jiang Hongfei sent someone to Jiashan to tell Yelu Yanxi on his behalf: "I will form an alliance with you and help you fight off the Jin people. I will keep you safe and you will give me all the five capitals of Liao." No one will dare to disturb your hunting again." What do you think the desperate Yelu Yanxi will do?

Moreover, the territory of the Liao Kingdom extended beyond the Five Capitals.

You know, the four words "Da Liao Empire" are not just called casually.

The territory of the Liao Kingdom during its peak period: the Sea of ​​Japan in the east; the Heilongjiang River, the Ussuri River Basin and Sakhalin Island in the northeast; the Altai Mountains in the west; the Ergun River and the Outer Xing'an Mountains in the north, and the Baigou River and the Baigou River in central Hebei Province in the south. The northeastern part of the river includes Youyun Sixteen Prefectures. Covering thousands of miles, it is a true grassland nomadic empire.

In other words, even if Yelu Yanxi gave all the five capitals of the Liao Kingdom to Jiang Hongfei, with Jiang Hongfei's help, Yelu Yanxi could still have half of the country left. Simply looking at the land area, the Liao Empire at that time was still a powerful grassland. dynasty.

Wanyan Zongwang thought with his toes and could guess that Yelu Yanxi, that foolish emperor, would definitely catch the pie thrown by Jiang Hongfei from the sky.

Some people might say, isn’t this right? Didn't Jiang Hongfei destroy Beiliao? After all, Northern Liao and the Liao Kingdom are in the same spirit. Will Yelu Yanxi not consider this matter?

Anyone who would ask this question must not know how much Yelu Yanxi hated Bei Liao.

I remember when Yelu Yanxi learned that Yelu Chun was plotting to usurp the throne and demote him to the king of Xiangyin, she was furious and cursed Yelu Chun for being unfaithful and unjust!

——Yelü Yanxi really didn’t expect that his uncle, whom he always respected, would betray him at a critical moment.

When Yelu Chun died, Yelu Yanxi felt even more emotional and issued a special edict for this. The book says:

The destiny of heaven is so great that it cannot be taken back by force; the divine weapon is so great that it cannot be taken out by wisdom. The conclusion of ancient and modern times is hard to change, that is, saints should avoid stealing...

In this edict, Yelu Yanxi said how much he respected Yelu Chun. He went to the court without worshiping, and the seal was unknown. As you know, I am worthy of you. But Yelu Chun ignored the great righteousness, appointed villains, jeopardized great treasures, usurped the title of emperor, and disordered discipline, which caused our Yan people to fall into misery.

Yelu Yanxi also said that Yelu Chun was extremely immoral, betrayed his righteousness and betrayed his kindness, and was cruel to his ancestors. He did not dare to pardon him, so he could only deprive Yelu Chun of all his titles and demote his wife, Xiao Pu Xiannu, to the rank of concubine. The man changed his surname to Hui.

From this decree, it is not difficult to see how much Yelv Yanxi hated Yelv Chun and Xiao Pu Xiannu, and how much she hated Bei Liao.

Therefore, Jiang Hongfei's destruction of Bei Liao can be interpreted as helping Yelu Yanxi eliminate traitors.

Therefore, it can be said that there is no obstacle to the alliance between Jiang Hongfei and Yelu Yanxi.

Once Jiang Hongfei and Yelu Yanxi form an alliance, it will be very unfavorable for the Kingdom of Jin. You must know that the centipede insect is dead but not stiff. Don't forget, Yelu Yanxi still has half of the country, and has a very good relationship with Xixia. If this happens again Plus Shuibo Liangshan...

Therefore, what Chai Jin said, "Whether the Great Liao will be destroyed or not is not up to your court, but to my court. Whether Jiuzhou behind the mountains will be given to my court is not up to you, either." It’s up to me to say it.” This is really not a arrogance...
