Chapter 680 Restoration?
…
Before the Jin people sent envoys this time, Li Yan never thought of letting Wanyan Zonghan go back. The 100,000 robbers brought by Wanyan Zongwang.
Li Yan knew better than anyone else who his great enemy was.
It is not the remnant Song, but the Jin Kingdom.
If Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang brought back the 100,000 robbers and the huge wealth they robbed and blackmailed, it will take a few years for the Jin Kingdom to expand into a behemoth that Li Yan would fear the behemoth and gathered talents and financial resources of Jin, Liao, and Song.
So, from the beginning, what Li Yan fought was to completely wipe out the 100,000 robbers brought by Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang and to steal back the people and wealth they stolen.
but
Just talking about the matter, Li Yan still faces two difficulties, which makes Li Yan unable to do his best to eliminate these 100,000 robbers:
The first is to regain Yan Yun. This is a thousand-year opportunity given by God to Li Yan to recover Yan Yun. If Li Yan can seize this opportunity, it is very likely that Yan Yun, including Ping, Luan and Ying, will be recovered. China will have a relatively stable frontier in the north, and the Hu people will not be able to easily enter the hinterland of the Central Plains, and then Li Yan can establish a stable regime.
The second is to expand the territory. Although China's territory is not small at present, it only has a single place in the Central Plains, so Li Yan was embarrassed to say that he had entered the Central Plains, so he had to seize the time to expand.
This is why Li Yan had the idea of "letting the golden man go"?
But Li Yan quickly realized that only by defeating the Jin people and regaining the dignity lost by the Han people, can he be truly recognized and loved by the people of the Central Plains and truly become the lord of the Central Plains, instead of relying on the recognition of the Jin people who humiliated the people of the Central Plains, he can be recognized and loved by the people of the Central Plains and become the lord of the Central Plains.
Therefore, Li Yan offered eight conditions that others thought were not as sincere as peace talks.
After leaving Bianliang City, Xiao Qing and Mo Qiu and other Jin envoys left the city of Bianliang, they quickly returned to the Jin camp, and then told Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang and others in a complete manner.
Before he could finish listening, the Jinren was in a mess.
When Xiao Qing finished all the eight conditions raised by Li Yan, the Jin people, especially the Jurchens, shouted that they would go to a decisive battle with the Central Army now and give the Central Army some strength to taste.
but
This is what the Jin people say.
At present, Liu Qi, Han Shizhong and Zhang Xian are leading nearly 150,000 troops to open a large net and wait for the Jin people to fall into the trap. How dare the Jin people act rashly?
After a while of noise, Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongwang, and Wanyan Zongpan came to Wanyan Zonghan's central army tent.
After the three of them took the seats, Wanyan Zongwang said: "I said I would never destroy Zhao Song, you insisted on destroying him. Now, I have been so evil that Zhao Song was vain and grabbed a group of useless Zhao Song royal family and Zong men in their hands, but all the benefits were obtained by Li Yan!"
Wanyan Zonghan said: "Who knew that Li Yan suddenly came back, suddenly sent troops, suddenly seized the city of Bianliang, and intercepted the Zhao Song royal family and the women of Zong clan? Speaking of which, the second prince could not escape the relationship. The east and north were the East Route Army. If you discovered the Liangshan Army earlier, why would we be so passive?"
At the beginning, the Jin people had already decided to eat Zhao Song, so they relaxed their vigilance.
In fact, it is not only the Eastern Army, but also the Western Army.
However, the Liangshan Army came from the east, and Wanyan Zongwang took the blame.
However, Wanyan Zongwang was not the one who took the blame, and he couldn't afford to lose this person. Therefore, Wanyan Zongwang said coldly: "The first one to fight to Tokyo was Liangshan and Bai Army. They sneaked into Bianliang City from the south, and the West Route Army was responsible for this south."
Wanyan Zonghan snorted coldly and said, "It's not that your Eastern Army's Talai army was defeated and forced by Liu Qi. I'll just transfer the troops from the south to support you. Otherwise, how could the White Army pass through my defense?"
At the beginning, without Wanyan Zongpan's support for Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zonghan would not have the upper hand, and he would not have decided to destroy Zhao Song.
Therefore, Wanyan Zongpan helped Wanyan Zonghan and said, "Wu Li, don't forget, you asked the Maode Emperor Zhao Fujin at the beginning. Now the situation has taken a sharp turn and I want to take you out. Is this what my Jurchen warrior did?"
Wanyan Zongwang said, "I want that Zhao Fujin, but I can get it even if I don't destroy Zhao Song. You and the other two insist on destroying Zhao Song. I will report this to Your Majesty truthfully."
Wanyan Zonghan said: "Let's talk about it when you can go back. Judging from the eight conditions and what Li Yan put forward, Li Yan never thought of letting us leave alive, and he might want to take this opportunity to take Yan Yun back."
Speaking of this, Wanyan Zonghan asked Wanyan Zongwang again: "Second Prince, tell me honestly, have you left enough troops in Yandi and Nanjing (Pingzhou)?"
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang felt a little nervous!
At that time, Wanyan Zongwang brought out all the troops who could fight in the three prefectures of Yan and Pingluan Camp in order to seize the merits.
Today, although there are 50,000 or 60,000 troops in the three prefectures of Yandi and Pingluanying, those troops are second-line troops, and nearly half of them are unreliable Han'er troops.
In other words, there are great hidden dangers in Yandi and Pingluanying Prefectures.
But despite this, Wanyan Zongwang still said stubbornly: "You should take good care of your Yundi and Hedong. I have 50,000 elite troops from the Grand Marshal to assist in defense, which is safer than your Yundi. If Fan Zhixu suddenly realized that he would not go south and go north, can the tens of thousands of people who stayed in Yundi and Hedong be kept?"
Wanyan Zonghan said: "Then Fan Zhixu could not go north, but there was no king who asked him to diligently. If you take a step back, even if Fan Zhixu went north, you would not be able to pass the levels I carefully arranged."
Wanyan Zongwang also knew that Wanyan Zonghan was doing things safely, Yundi and Hedong were designated safer than his Yandi and Hebei, but he still hummed without consent.
Wanyan Zongpan smoothed out and said, "Okay, the Prime Minister and Marshal, don't be angry. If we can't pass this level, we may all die in a foreign land. So, let's work together to pass this level first."
Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zongwang also knew that the most urgent task was not to hold accountable, but how to get through this.
Wanyan Zongwang took a deep breath and said, "I have a plan here. Tell me, listen."
Wanyan Zonghan asked: "What's the plan?"
Wanyan Zongwang said: "Let the Zhao family restore the throne in Xijing (Luoyang), and negotiate peace with the Zhao family. Let the Emperor Zhao issue an edict to Fan Zhixu and Zhao Gou, ordering Fan Zhixu and Zhao Gou to send troops to capture the city of Bianliang and entangle the main force of the Liangshan army. In addition, let Fan Zhixu give up the way to us and let us go back from Hedong."
After hearing this, Wanyan Zonghan was silent for a while and said, "Zhao Ji, Zhao Huan and his son have been deposed by us and have lost the prestige of the monarch. The key is that their father and son hate us to the core. Once they get the power, they will definitely seek revenge. The other people in the Zhao family do not have the prestige of becoming emperors. Are you sure your plan is feasible?"
After hearing this, Wanyan Zongwang pondered silently.
Thinking back to the beginning, Zhao Huan was not deposed yet and had not completely become a puppet. Many ministers of the Song Dynasty, such as Zhang Xiaochun, Wang Bing, Zhan Du, Chen Go, Fan Ne, and Zhao Ye, refused to respect Zhao Huan's orders. Now Zhao Huan has been deposed. Even if he restored his throne, he would be designated as their puppets of the Jin Dynasty. Can those Song ministers obey Zhao Huan's orders?
If the power is really returned to Zhao Huan, their Jin Dynasty would have persecuted the Zhao family to this extent, causing the Zhao family to lose their country, their own women, all their dignity, and become a laughing stock in the world. Anyone who has such a little backbone will definitely be with them.
Even if it was Zhao Ji, the situation would be similar.
The others of the Zhao family had no prestige to be emperors at all, especially when they were emperors in this special period.
So how about a different surname?
This was quickly overthrown by Wanyan Zongwang. No one who established the Zhao family was useful, let alone the innovative surname?
This road seems to be unworkable.
