Journey to the West: I Am Entertaining in the Great Tang

Chapter 1497

Yelu Chun sent Yelu Nuke to negotiate, but the sponsor had many conditions and asked for many things.

Of course Yeluchun refused to agree.

Later, the gold lord issued an ultimatum, saying that as long as the Liao lord treats the state of Jin with brotherly courtesy, and the canonization ceremony is modeled after the Han Dynasty, he will agree to negotiate a peace, otherwise there is no need to negotiate again.

The Lord of Liao still refused to agree.

However, there was a famine in Liao Kingdom, and people cannibalism happened from time to time.

Thieves flocked everywhere, plundering the people's food, and disasters continued.

Privy envoy Xiao Fengxian and others persuaded the Liao Lord to temporarily comply with the conditions of the Jin Kingdom, so the Liao Lord canonized the Jin Lord as the emperor of the Donghuai Kingdom.

The benefactor was very unhappy and said to the envoy, "What is Donghuai country? The name of our country is Dajin, so it should be called Dajin. Besides, there is no mention of treating each other with brotherly etiquette in the book. I can't agree!"

Immediately threw the book out.

The three characters "Donghuaiguo" obviously meant that the Liao people used the meaning of "Xiaobang Huaide" to play tricks on the gold master.

The people of Liao thought that the gold master did not understand Chinese, so he might be able to get away with it. However, Jin was mainly called Dajin and wanted Liao to treat him like a brother. Therefore, the peace agreement was not reached, and the two sides broke up.

After Cai Jing heard the news, he planned to make an agreement with the Jin Kingdom to attack the Liao Kingdom together, and take the opportunity to recover the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

The Song Dynasty sent Ma Zhenghang, a doctor of martial arts, to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss with the Lord of Jin about attacking the Kingdom of Liao.

The gold master also sent Li Shanqing and others to accompany Ma Zheng to Bianjing, and with the letter of credence, he also brought some rare treasures from the Northeast to Song Huizong.

Song Huizong immediately ordered Cai Jing to make an agreement with Jin to attack the Liao Kingdom. Li Shanqing sent another person back to return to the order, while he stayed in the capital for more than ten days, happy and happy.

Soon, Song Huizong sent Ma Zheng to bring a special edict and some gifts to cross the sea with Li Shanqing and others to return to the Kingdom of Jin.

When they arrived in Dengzhou, Ma Zheng was ordered to stop moving forward, and only sent Colonel Ping Haijun Hu Qing to send Li Shanqing and others back to the gold, and handed over the imperial edict of Song Huizong.

The benefactor sent Hu Qing back, and said to him angrily: "Go back and see your emperor, and tell him that if he really wants to make friends with our country, he should send the letter of credence. If the imperial edict is still issued, I am not willing to accept it." Yes, don't blame me for sending them back in the future." Hu Qing had no choice but to go back.

When Tong Guan entered the court, he strongly advocated Cai Jing's resolution and asked Song Huizong to send another envoy to the Kingdom of Jin and send a letter of credence instead.

None of the ministers in the court dared to object, and only Wu Shi, a member of Zhongshushe, went up to remonstrate with him alone.

There is also an ordinary commoner named An Yaochen, who also wrote a letter to dissuade and seek Liao.

Wu Shi said that there has been no friction between our dynasty and the Liao Kingdom for many years, and we should not break the covenant.

But An Yaochen's memorial was thorough and incisive. He said:

"Today, Tong Guan is deeply tied to Cai Jing and accepts Zhao Liangsi as the mastermind. Therefore, the proposal of flattening the Yan, the minister fears that at the same time his lips will die and his teeth will be cold. There will be a provocation at the border, and the wolf will store up his strength and wait for the gap to fulfill his desire. The reason why this minister is day and night Those who are cold-hearted; Fu Wang thinks about the difficulties accumulated by the ancestors, and learns from the gains and losses of the monarchs and ministers of the past dynasties. Du Sai’s frontiers are provocative, and he must keep the old good, so that no barbarians can take advantage of the opportunity to spy on China; Shengmin is very fortunate!"

Song Huizong received two consecutive memorials to dissuade him, and was hesitating.

It happened that two imperial physicians came back from Koryo to play Song Huizong, and they also felt that Tuyan was not advisable.

It turned out that Koryo once had a good relationship with China. Because the king of Koryo was sick, he sought medical treatment from the Song Dynasty, so Song Huizong sent two imperial doctors to treat him.

Soon, Goryeo sent the two imperial doctors back to China. Before leaving, the Lord Goryeo said to them:

"I heard that the Son of Heaven is going to conspire with the Jurchens against the Khitan. I'm afraid this is not a good strategy. If the Khitans can survive, China can still deal with it; if the Jurchens survive, the Jurchens are like tigers and wolves, and they are extremely unfriendly. You can tell the Son of Heaven, Just get ready!"

So these two imperial doctors came back to tell Song Huizong.

Song Huizong was hesitating about the words of Wu Shi and An Yaochen. After listening to them, he planned to temporarily put aside the plan of joining the Jin Dynasty and defeating the Liao Dynasty, and planned to promote An Yaochen to Chengwulang.

However, Cai Jing and Tong Guan insisted on the previous discussion, saying that this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity, and if they don't take it now, they will suffer instead.

There was also Wang Fu, a bachelor, who had been promoted to Shaozai at that time; Zheng Juzhong begged to go home to mourn, so Emperor Huizong of Song Dynasty made Yu Shen Taizai.

Yu Shen and Wang Fu colluded with Cai and Tong, denouncing Wu Shi as a rotten Confucian; they also wanted to punish Yao Chen for the crime of talking too much, so that he could no longer be an official.

These four people tried their best to petition together, but Song Huizong had no choice but to send Youwendian to compile Zhao Liangsi to go to the Kingdom of Jin again to apply for a previous appointment on the grounds of buying horses.

It happened that Xiao Xinilie, the Liao envoy, went to the Kingdom of Jin to discuss the ceremonies, but the lord of gold was still dissatisfied, so he even sent troops to attack Shangjing, and even sent envoys from Song and Liao to follow in the army.

At that time, the Lord of Liao happened to be hunting in Baishan. He heard that the Lord of Gold was leaving his army, and urgently ordered Yelubais to lead three thousand elite soldiers to help him go to Beijing. When the gold master arrived at the city of Shangjing, he first ordered the guards to surrender as soon as possible.

Shangjing stayed behind and Tarbuye refused to obey, so the gold master supervised the attack and said to the Song and Liao envoys:

"You can watch how I use my soldiers, and then go back and report to your respective masters."

He beat the drum himself and ordered the army to pounce.

The Jin soldiers were extremely brave, and charged forward against the flying stones and sharp arrows.

The battle lasted from morning to afternoon. Jin Jiang and his mother took the lead to climb the tower, followed by his followers, and Shangjing was conquered in this way.

The left-behind tartbuye had no choice but to surrender.

Yelubais didn't wait to lead the army to come to the rescue. Unexpectedly, before the army arrived in Shangjing, he heard that Shangjing had fallen, so he led the army back.

The gold master enters the city to reward teachers, buy wine and feast.

Holding wine glasses, Zhao Liangsi and others congratulated the Jin army on a great victory, and they all shouted long live.

The next day, the gold master left some soldiers and horses to garrison Shangjing, and he took Zhao Liangsi and others back to the country.

Zhao Liangsi said to the gold master: "The land of Yanyun was originally the territory of the Han Dynasty, and it should still belong to China. Now our dynasty is willing to work together with your country to attack the Liao country; your country can attack the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, and our country is willing to attack it Yanjing Xijin Mansion. We will succeed if we attack from the north to the south."

The gold master said: "It's easy to say, but your master once gave Liao coins, and you should give me some in the future."

Zhao Liangsi promised, and the gold master handed the letter of credence to Zhao Liangsi, agreeing that the Jin soldiers would attack Gubeikou from the pine forest on the flat ground, and the Song soldiers would attack from Baigou, and sent Bo Dong and Zhao Liangsi to explain their intentions to Song Huizong. Song Huizong immediately sent Ma Zheng to reply to the gold master, and wrote a letter of credence:

The Emperor of the Song Dynasty wrote a letter to the Emperor of the Jin Dynasty: Yuan Cheng Xinjie, a special letter, to discuss Khitan, as a Tathagata appointment. Tong Guanle soldiers have been sent to respond, each other's soldiers are not allowed to cross the border, the number of yearly coins is the same as that of the Liao Dynasty, and it is still agreed not to listen to Khitan's peace talks, hereby reply!
