According to the agreement of the Song and Jin sea alliance, the Jin soldiers were not allowed to pass Songting Pass, Gubeikou and Yuguan.

So, regardless of whether it was because of the Liangshan Army, at least on the surface, the Jurchens have been carrying out the maritime alliance until now, only stationed troops in Bei'anzhou, without a single step beyond the line.

Wang Huan left Xiongzhou, then took the sea route, and then moved to Bei'anzhou.

Here, Wang Huan met Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other envoys from the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Liangsi and Ma Kuo told Wang Huan that their mission had been completed, especially after learning that Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi successfully attacked Yanjing, the Jurchens treated them as guests of honor and began to discuss the specific boundaries between the two countries with them.

But then the Jurchens found out that Yang Keshi and Guo Yaoshi were driven out of Yanjing City by Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi, and the thousands of troops brought were almost wiped out by Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi. Then the Jin Dynasty all regarded this as a joke and passed it on mouth.

And this is not over. What happened next was that the more than 500,000 troops of the Song State were defeated by more than 20,000 troops of the Liao State and killed more than 100,000 troops. The Liao army was completely wiped out by the Liangshan Army. Even the famous general Yelu Dashi was captured alive by the Liangshan Army, which made the Jin Dynasty collectively silent.

The next day, the Jurchens suddenly put Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo and other envoys in the Song Dynasty under house arrest, not allowing them to contact the outside world, and it was not until the two days that they were loosened.

After listening to the statements of Zhao Liangsi and others, Wang Huan asked: "What does the Jurchens mean? Are they trying to tear up the alliance with me, the Song Dynasty?"

Zhao Liangsi said: "They should want to form an alliance with Li Yan. After all, according to the current situation, Li Yan is their Linbang, and our Song Dynasty and their Jin Kingdom will no longer be bordered." At this point, Zhao Liangsi couldn't help but say: "How could Liu Yanqing fight like this? Do you know that we have negotiated everything with the Jurchens. The Jurchens promised to give Yanjing and the six prefectures and twenty-four counties under their jurisdiction to our Song Dynasty. Moreover, the Jurchens also agreed that if our Song Dynasty cannot be captured by Yanjing, their Jin army will be captured by our two armies.

The attacks are as agreed before, that is, even if Yanjing was conquered by the Jurchens, Yanjing will be merged with Jizhou, Jingzhou, Tanzhou, Shunzhou, Zhuozhou, and Yizhou to our Song Dynasty. We do not ask Liu Yanqing to win a big victory, but don’t lose so quickly and thoroughly, and will not be able to do it? As long as Liu Yanqing can hold on for a while, the Jurchens will send troops. By then, Yanjing will definitely belong to our Song Dynasty, and Li Yan will never enter the Pass. Now, the Song Dynasty is defeated, the Liao Kingdom is destroyed, and Li Yan enters the Pass. The Jurchens completely look down on our Song Dynasty. What should we do?”

Wang Huan sighed and said, "Who knew that Liu Yanqing was so useless, with an army of more than 500,000, he was defeated by more than 20,000 Liao troops, and was humiliated by the army of more than 20,000 insulting the country!"

Ma Kuo asked: "How should the official deal with Liu Yanqing?"

Wang Huan said: "Liu Yanqing has a note written by Tong Xuanfu and Deputy Xuanfu Cai, which reads "If you can, you can measure the situation, no matter if there is any misunderstanding of military affairs." Liu Yanqing therefore insisted that Tong Xuanfu and Deputy Xuanfu Cai agreed to withdraw his troops only after he withdrew. With the kind character of the official family, Liu Yanqing had this excuse, most of the people would not die."

Ma Kuo gritted his teeth and said, "This Liu Yanqing is too shameless. He has the face to make a living when he fights like this!"

Wang Huan was silent for a while and said, "Even if Liu Yanqing can survive, he will be nailed to the pillar of shame in history... Forget it, let's not talk about him anymore, let's talk about what we should do now, right?"

Zhao Liangsi asked: "What is your mission this time?"

Wang Huan said: "People who persuaded the Jurchens to send troops. The two families jointly attacked Li Yan, and drove Li Yan back to the mountain or drove Li Yan back to Goryeo, and also asked the Jurchens to agree that the six prefectures under Yanjing and the three prefectures under Pingluanying belong to our Song Dynasty."

After hearing this, Zhao Liangsi shook his head and said, "It's hard. The Jurchens now fully understand the strategic value of the three prefectures of Pingluanying. It's impossible to give them to our Song Dynasty."

Wang Huan's heart moved, "Zhao Liangsi only said that he could not get the three prefectures of Pingluan Camp, and did not say that he could not convince the Jurchens to send troops and recover the six prefectures under Yanjing and Yanjing. Does that mean that I have the opportunity to convince the Jurchens to send troops and persuade the Jurchens to bring the six prefectures under Yanjing and Yanjing to the Song Dynasty?"

Ma Kuo suddenly asked, "Do our Song Dynasty still have the power to fight?"

Wang Huan said: "There are 30,000 to 40,000 troops in the Western Army, and the Shengsheng Army has nearly 10,000 troops to fight. The soldiers of other soldiers, brave and powerful, have 200,000. Although there are few soldiers, armor and horses, they should still have the power to fight."

Ma Kuo asked: "Who will command the army?"

Wang Huan knew that what Ma Kuo wanted to ask was, who was the commander of the army in Tong Guan's heart?

After experiencing the command of Zhong Shidao and Liu Yanqing, especially the latter, everyone realized that the key to the commander of the commander of the troops. If there is no capable commander of the commander, the Song army will definitely be as vulnerable as before.

Regarding the new candidates for commanding troops, that is, the new commander system, the Xuanfu Department has been discussing. Some people say that Zhong Shidao will return to serve as the commander system, some say that Yao Gu will serve as the commander system, some say that Zhong Shizhong will serve as the commander system, and some say that the Song Dynasty should be boldly appoint young people like Li Yan, such as Yu Ze Keqiu will serve as the commander system, and some even say that the Song Dynasty should be boldly using people to serve as the commander system.

Tong Guan never made any statement about this, and it can also be said that Tong Guan has become a frightened bird and dare not control the matter of plugging it.

Therefore, who will take on the new commandership depends on Zhao Ji's meaning.

Zhao Ji probably can't make up his mind who will take over the command of the capital now, so there has not been any wind yet.

Wang Huan said truthfully: "The government has not decided who will be the commander of the capital."

Ma Kuo said: "It is best for the coach of the school to continue to serve as the commander of the capital."

Wang Huan said: "The Grand Master dared not speak out in this matter. I am humble and humble, so how dare I tell the difference?"

Ma Kuo also knew that after experiencing the previous two major defeats, it was Jian Zai Di Xin who would be the commander.

Zhao Liangsi didn't care who would be the governor, nor did he want to cause trouble, so he interrupted: "Originally, your mission was hopeless, but we found two news, which might allow you to complete the mission."

Wang Huan asked quickly: "What news?"

Zhao Liangsi said: "The first news is that Li Yan is unwilling to pay the annual monies, which is unacceptable to the Jurchens. We all know that the Jurchens are used to being poor, so they are particularly greedy and attach great importance to Qian Juan. Therefore, Li Yan's insistence on not paying the annual monies has touched their bottom line. If you can make good use of it, you may be able to convince the Jurchens."

Wang Huan's eyes lit up and said, "Is this news reliable?"

Zhao Liangsi smiled confidently and said, "We have been in Bei'anzhou for more than two months in vain."

Wang Huan asked: "What's the second news?"

Zhao Liangsi said: "The second is the news that has just been sent back. It is said that the general Yue Fei of Li Yan encountered the Jurchen general Wanyan Jiemu at Gubeikou. Yue Fei launched an attack first and caught Wanyan Jiemu off guard, and the Jin army was defeated. It was raining in autumn, and the mountain torrent broke out. The Chaohe River water surged. The Jurchens were driven to the bank of Chaohe River by Yue Fei and forced to cross the river. As a result, countless people drowned. Now the Jin Kingdom is angry and threatened to send a large army to seek revenge on Li Yan."

After hearing this, Wang Huan was overjoyed and said, "God blesses the Song Dynasty!"

After hesitating for a moment, Wang Huan was puzzled and said, "Didn't the Jurchens have an appointment with our Song Dynasty and cannot cross Gubeikou? How could their army run to Gubeikou?"
