Chapter 542: Wanyan Agu dies (2)



It was not that Li Yan had heard a trace of weakness from Wanyan Aguda's words, nor did he not expect that in this case, a decisive battle could be defeated by Wanyan Aguda.

But just as Wanyan Aguda said, the Northeast region is cold and bitter, and water is poured into ice in winter. Please remember that the splashing of water is not cold, but hot water, that is, when hot water is poured out, it will immediately turn into ice. Moreover, the surrounding areas are close to the Mongolian tribes, so you must always be careful of the invasion of Mongolian tribes. Such a territory is really not suitable for Han people to live in, and it is really a waste of money.

If the cost is small, you can consider seizing this land. After all, there is vast land here, and there is also summer, which can also be cultivated. But if you have to spend a huge price or even a loss-making price to get this useless rib, it would be a bit worthwhile, especially in this period of development.

Moreover, judging from the current situation, the Jin Kingdom is the one with the advantage in military strength, not on his own. Therefore, although he has the Thunder Car as his trump card, it is really hard to say who will win and lose in the end.

In addition, there are many things in Li Yan's hometown. Goryeo has not been destroyed yet. Several armies of Goryeo and Taifeng are still raging in their territory. There is also Japan, which took advantage of the situation, who has fled back to China, but this account cannot be settled with Japan.

In short, Li Yan was very moved by Wanyan Aguda's proposal to stop the army.

The two sides later sent envoys to discuss several times, and finally agreed to use the Liaohe River and the Dongliang River as the boundary, and the Liaodong Peninsula belonged to the Liangshan Mountains. The remaining borders followed the original borders between Goryeo and Jin Kingdom. The two sides opened four venues on the border to conduct full trade, and then stopped the army.

A few days later, the Jin army withdrew.

...

What Li Yan didn't know was that after Wanyan Aguda met him, he couldn't afford to get sick when he went back.

Wanyan Xie also secretly told Wanyan Agu's serious illness and did not issue it. The border treaty signed with Shuibo Liangshan was actually signed by Wanyan Aguda under the instructions of Wanyan Aguda.

After the Jin army withdrew from Dading Prefecture, Wanyan Aguda's condition improved slightly.

But at this moment, Zhang Jue secretly connected with the Song State, intending to surrender to the Song Dynasty with Ping, Luan and Yingzhou as their capital. Zhang Jue also sent troops to Runzhou (Qinhuangdao) to intercept Yan people, and planned to completely control and block the western Liaoning Corridor.

Wanyan Agu was furious when he inquired, and said to his left and right: "I was stationed in Yanjing first, and Jiaer officials and people were the first to surrender. Therefore, he promoted the government to Nanjing, reduced labor service and reduced taxes, and his kindness was also reached. Why bother to rebel? Now he wanted to advance troops to attack and seize it, and at that time, he was still Nongyue, and he couldn't bear to harm the common people with a bad person. Moreover, the Liao Kingdom had me, and the lonely city was defended by himself. What would he do? Now he was the head of the emperor, and I will release him." Then he ordered the general Wanyan Jiemu to lead his army south from Jinzhou to Nanjing to quell the rebellion.

Wanyan Jiemu is the half-brother of Wanyan Aguda. Since his rebellion against Liao, he has made outstanding achievements. At this time, he served as the commander of the southern route and led his army to defend Jinzhou. His main task was to attack Xiao Gan.

In the edict to him, Wanyan Aguda said: "When the crowd of people returned to Li Bao, they would be bound to be killed by the dangers. If they did not plunder, there would be no need to attack and confront them."

Facts have proved that Xiao Gan really "killed himself" later, which shows how accurate Wanyan Aguda is to look at people and things.

There were only three thousand troops stationed in Jinzhou. Wanyan Jiemu left a thousand to defend the city, and the remaining two thousand followed her south.

In early June, the Jin army arrived in Runzhou and drove Zhang Jue's army away, chasing Zhiyu Pass, and sent prisoners to surrender with a letter.

Wanyan Jiemu wanted to take advantage of the victory to advance to Nanjing, but he had no choice but to rain heavily and could not march. So he retreated to guard the sea, chased water and grass to rest, and sent troops to guard Runzhou. At the same time, the surrounding prefectures and counties that had not surrendered were not allowed to contact Zhang Jue.

At the end of June, Wanyan Jiemu led more than 2,000 cavalry into the military Yingzhou. Unexpectedly, Yingzhou City was prepared for a long time, Zhang Jue had sent more than 10,000 troops to guard the city.

Seeing that the city gate was closed, the soldiers stood on the city wall and were ready for battle. They felt that they had few soldiers and were not sure of winning, so they retreated without a fight.

Before leaving, Wanyan Jiemu ordered the soldiers to write a line of words on the state gate: The summer heat is gone, and the autumn is shocked again.

After Wanyan Jiemu withdrew his troops, Zhang Jue claimed to the public that he had defeated the Jin people and killed many people. He sent Zhang Jun and Zhang Dunguo to Yanjing to report the victory to the Yanshan Xuanfu Department.

Wang Anzhong and Zhan Du did not dare to decide on such a major event, so they sent Zhang Jue's victory to Zhao Ji.

After seeing the good news, Zhao Ji was overjoyed and immediately summoned Wang Fu and Zhao Liangsi to discuss the matter.

Wang Fu advocated accepting Zhang Jue. He said: "Accepting Zhang Jue can resist the Jin army, two can balance Guo Yaoshi, and three can restrain Xiao Gan. It can be said that he can win three goals in one stroke. Otherwise, he will push him to Emperor Tianzuo or Xiao Gan. If he joins forces with Xiao Gan, then Yanshan will definitely lose again, and even threaten the safety of Hebei in the Song Dynasty."

Zhao Liangsi expressed his opposition, saying: "The country has just signed an alliance with the Jin Dynasty. If the Jin Dynasty traitors are accepted, they will lose their joy. The consequences will be unimaginable. It will be too late to regret it."

Zhao Liangsi also strongly requested the killing of Zhang Jun, Zhang Dunguo and others, and informed the Jin Kingdom of this matter.

Zhao Ji not only couldn't listen to Zhao Liangsi's advice and requests, but was also very angry. He ordered Zhao Liangsi to be cut off from the fifth level.

Zhao Ji was determined to recover Pingzhou, so he quickly renamed Pingzhou to the Taining Army and secretly ordered Wang Anzhong to send people to escort Zhang Jun and Zhang Dungu to Beijing.

After Zhang Jun and others came to Beijing, Zhao Ji issued an edict to appoint Zhang Jue as the governor of Taining Army and inherited Pingzhou. His subordinates Wei Fu, Zhao Renyan, Zhang Jun and Zhang Dungu were all appointed as the Huiyou Pavilion's waiting system.

Zhao Ji was determined to recover all the lost land of Yan Yun, and this wish was very strong.

Now that the last piece of Ping, Luan and Ying Sanzhou are coming to their doors, how could Zhao Ji refuse such temptation?

Soon, the news that Wanyan Jiemu was defeated by Zhang Jue in Yu Yingzhou reached Dading Prefecture. Wanyan Aguda was shocked and his condition was slightly healed and immediately took a sharp turn for the worse.

For many days, Wanyan Agu had nightmares and was always in a daze when he woke up.

Suddenly one day, Wanyan Aguda woke up and was in good spirits and said to his left and right: "It has been a long time since we left Shangjing, let's go back."

Wanyan Zonghan said: "The weather is hot now and the road is inconvenient. Let's go back after the beginning of autumn."

Wanyan Agu sighed and said, "That will probably be too late by then."

Soon, Wanyan Wu Qimai received the news, "The emperor was seriously ill and had set off to return to Beijing. Please go to the post of the Odushan Post."

After receiving the letter, Wanyan Wu Qimai was shocked. He couldn't figure out why his brother had always been strong and had suddenly become seriously ill?

Wanyan Wuqi bought a quick horse and whipped it up, traveling starry night and rushed to Odushan Post.

After meeting, when Wanyan Aguda was thin, Wu Qimai's nose felt sore and shed tears.

Wanyan Aguda said to Wanyan Wu Qimai: "Now, Yelu Yanxi has lost all the troops and horses in the country and has rushed to Xixia. Now that the son of Tian Tian, ​​Yelu Yali, is the emperor, this is just a dying struggle, not to be afraid, Zhao Ji is frivolous and conceited, not to be afraid, Li Qianshun is the king who guards the city, and has no ability to lead, nor is it to be afraid, the fear of Li Yan from Liaodong. I have seen this person, who is capable of doing things, knows people and uses them well, and is especially good at grasping the general trend. He is young, and must be the enemy of our Jin Kingdom. You must be careful... You go back first, in a few days, I will set off to return to the capital. In mid-August, you can lead your relatives to Changchunzhou to welcome me. It would be better if you could reach Leopard Cliff."

Soon, Wanyan Aguda left Odushan Post. When he walked to the Duluo West Palace on the north bank of the Hunhe River, he felt very tired and stayed to rest.

That night, Wanyan Agu closed his eyes and never opened them again. He put an end to his brilliant life at the age of fifty-six.

"History of Jin" evaluates Jin Taizu Wanyan Aguda this way:

Taizu Yingmo was wise and open-minded, generous, knew people well and was willing to use them. The world had a hundred and nine years. During the years, Taizu had no plans, no soldiers left, and they were able to make great achievements. They passed on to their descendants.

"History of Jin" was not written by the Jin people, but by the Yuan people.

Judging from the historical origins, the Mongols and the Jurchens had a feud. However, in "History of Jin", the Yuan Dynasty praised Jin Taizu throughout the article, and their evaluation was perfect, which was rare in the commentary of ancient Chinese emperors.
