Chapter 196 Goodbye (Part 2)

In the spring of the ninth year of Jinghan in the Wu Dynasty, the war between Jin and Liao was actually quite surprising and ridiculous at first glance.

The peace talks between Jin and Liao were just discussed a few years ago. This time, the Liao Kingdom made a lot of concessions. Yelu Yanxi officially enthroned Wanyan Aguda as the Great Sage Emperor, called the Jin Kingdom brother, and sected Liaodong and Changchun. In fact, these two Jin Kingdoms had already occupied the two routes, saying that the cede was just a gesture - tributed 250,000 taels of silver and silk to the Jin Kingdom every year. This almost destroyed the Tanyuan Alliance and signed them to the Jin Kingdom.

But when the Tanyuan Alliance was mentioned, when it comes to Wu, the Liao Dynasty was still relatively equal. Although he was forced to owe a contract due to the situation, the power of the Jin and Liao countries was actually disproportionate. In the final analysis, there were only so many Jurchens and there were too few Jin people. When the Battle of Bu Dagang achieved such a magical record, it was not because Wanyan Aguda was really confident, but because he had only more than 20,000 people on hand. After that, the Jin Dynasty won consecutive victories in several years. In fact, the Jin Dynasty's troops were still disproportionately compared to the Liao Kingdom.

Because of this reason, Yelu Yanxi signed the contract and took a big step. Thinking about it, he could probably confirm that the Jin Kingdom should not want to fight again and could not fight again, so he felt relieved. In the eyes of others, the Jin Kingdom already had a foundation, so it was time to stop and recuperate. It was normal for human nature, so everyone had already believed it. No matter what, such a contract usually had several years of effect.

This year, Wanyan Aguda is fifty-two years old.

If it seems that this heroic figure who was in his forties who rose up to resist the Liao Kingdom and led tens of thousands of Jurchens to the same position as the Emperor of the Liao Kingdom for more than ten years was obviously unwilling to leave the hegemony that could be completed for his descendants. However, at that time, the things that happened in this spring were actually a bit ridiculous and ridiculous on the surface.

Yelu Yanxi was not willing to admit that Wanyan Aguda was the emperor at first. He originally wanted to call Wanyan Aguda the King of Donghuai to escape, but Wanyan Aguda was not a person who was easily confused. After he got angry, Yelu Yanxi shrank and had to call him the Great Sage Emperor. After this matter was settled, Yelu Yanxi put down a big stone in his heart and felt that he could finally be safe for several years - he was a person who hated trouble, liked to travel around and enjoyed world peace, and had a good personality. As a result, when he was relieved and went back to travel around and river, he suddenly remembered something.

His family's eldest son, who had a lifetime of hegemony, was comparable to that of Wanyan Aguda at this time. He was also called the Great Sage Emperor, and his full name was "Taizu Great Sage Daming Shenlie Tian Emperor". This is not possible. He was granted the title of ancestors, which is unfilial. So when he turned around, he sent an envoy to ask Aguda if he could take back the title of emperor and change it.

The poor care more about face. Aguda worked hard all his life and finally became emperor, but you made an emperor like this. Isn’t this an obvious slap in the face? At the end of the second month of the lunar calendar, the Jin Kingdom vowed to attack Liao. On the 26th day of the third lunar calendar, Wanyan Aguda officially launched a general attack on Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, one of the five capitals of Liao Kingdom. On the fifth day of the fourth month, the Jin Kingdom’s cavalry stepped on the west bank of the Hunhe River and the troops were at the city.

At this time, the person guarding Linhuang Prefecture was Xiao Tabuyi, a veteran general of the Liao Kingdom. Although he had failed several times in the battle with the Jin Kingdom, to be fair, he was not a mediocre person. He had a steady military force and a straight personality, so he still had talent. As the political capital of the Liao Kingdom, Linhuang Prefecture had a high city and a thick pool, and had strict defense.

Perhaps considering that this city is not easy to attack, Aguda sent Wanyan Zongxiong to persuade him to surrender, but Xiao Ta's favorite grandson moved his enemy Jian. He died at the hands of the Jurchens in the Ningjiangzhou battle a few years ago, and the persuasion to surrender naturally failed.

Relying on the strong city, Xiao Ta didn't actually have a great sense of urgency. The Liao Kingdom is still a lean camel bigger than a horse. Even if he couldn't beat Wanyan Aguda, he had already made the idea of ​​defending the city for several months and waiting for reinforcements. Aguda was also very straightforward. He sent Wanyan Zongxiong to persuade the surrender in the morning, but failed. In the morning, he launched an attack on Linhuang Mansion. Aguda personally came to the city to command the attack. In the afternoon, at a critical moment, Aguda's half-brother Wanyan Jiemu rushed to the top of the capital.

This was another war result that no one had expected. The city that he thought could be defended for at least several months had fallen under Wanyan Aguda's hands in just half a day. When the sunset on that day dyed the sky into dusk, Aguda and his gang of generals stepped into the city gate, and the Jurchen soldiers had already rushed in and washed the entire city pool into wolf smoke.

******************

"Even if you cheat, this is a bit too much..."

After drinking the tea in his hand, Ning Yi sighed. He didn't know much about Wanyan Aguda's life and deeds before. Although the founding monarchs of each dynasty and each generation were mostly as powerful as human achievements or achievements, he still felt shocked when he heard Mr. Qin talk about it. People in this era hated the Liao Kingdom, so they were still close to the Jin Kingdom. When they talked about it, they generally regarded Wanyan Aguda as a hero of foreign races. Ning Yi was also somewhat impressed by his affairs. However, Mr. Qin said it at this time, not all he was happy.

"Open...drag?"

"Chat means."

"Oh, hehe, that's true." Old Qin nodded and smiled, then his eyes felt a little sad, "Hero, no matter what, this Wanyan Aguda is indeed a master of the world. He used troops to the Liao Kingdom just as expected. Since he started to take action, he must have signed a treaty with my Wu Dynasty. Just wait for our dynasty to rush into the army, Yanyun's Sixteen Prefectures..."

He sighed, Ning Yi looked at him, then thought for a while, raised the teapot and poured tea: "It seems that it is true. When I first saw the Jin Kingdom as a big shot, the Jin Kingdom was in a fight against Liao, and the tigers and wolfs were driven away. Is it your plan for Mr. Qin?"

"It's not a decisive plan." The old man shook his head and sighed, "I was just forced to leave nowhere. I just thought about some tricks. Today... I also had ideas about subduing Yan Yun. It was not only Jurchens who wanted to unite at that time. At that time, the Jurchens could not see the days of making a breakthrough. I cursed and took the blame, so I stepped down. In the past few years, the situation has changed, which is inconsistent with my design at that time. But they can finally grasp it. The day has come..."

A few months ago, the old man was silent about this and did not talk about the current situation. Only today can he finally speak up. He had been waiting for the official war to be evenly matched by the Jin and Liao dynasties. When he talked about it, he naturally felt relieved, but he didn't seem to be happy. He was usually humorous and easy-going, but he had a sense of majesty and courage in his conversation. However, at this time, he saw that his head was covered in gray hair, and his majesty was gone, leaving him with easy-goingness and a little fatigue. He had been tolerant of the past eight years, but in fact, seeing the overall situation changes, he must have been under unspeakable pressure and difficult to live.

At this time, the courtyard was quiet and the leaves were shaking in the breeze. Ning Yi probably felt the old man's mood, but he was a little moved. The history at this time was different from what he knew in the past, but no matter what, as a participant, the old man did try his best to do it and made his own achievements. Ning Yi picked up the teacup and took a sip, and understood that he didn't need to say anything at this time. The old man thought for a while and laughed.

"As the same thing, is Liheng willing to go to the capital and do something?"

In the past, Kang Xian often asked him if he would like to be an official, so Mr. Qin just watched from the side. At this time, he asked. Ning Yi shook his head: "Ha, your future is unknown, so I won't hang out with you."

"Excuse me..."

Ning Yi made a joke, and Mr. Qin pointed it out casually: "Actually... a few years ago, seeing the increasingly fierce battle between Jin and Liao, I could only feel relieved. However, in the past few years, the more I watched them fight, the more uneasy I felt. The reason, Liheng, you should know."

"Withless country has no diplomacy?"

The old man was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Liheng really understood these things. It hit the point. The weak country had no diplomacy... Wanyan Agu raised an army to fight against the Jin people's millions of troops, leaving Hedian, Huanglong Mansion, and protecting Bu Dagang... After fighting, the people in our court heard that this man was indeed a hero who was born in the world and said that Liao people were exhausted. But now whenever we have friction with the Liao people at the border, we must be defeated like a mountain. Protect Bu Dagang 20,000 and over 700,000. Jurchens are invincible. But if there are 700,000 Liao soldiers attacking our Wu Chao, who can I compete with my Wu Chao? Li Gang, Tong Guan, Zhong Shidao? Who will this Jin soldiers... after attacking Liao? Li Heng, I always feel that what I thought at the beginning was not to save Wu Chao, but actually push Wu Chao into the fire pit..."

"I'm worried too much." Ning Yi looked at him, "The Jin people are not enough. For the time being, this is a weakness. As long as people are willing to work hard and seize the opportunity to breathe, the Wu Dynasty will still be saved."

"What I'm afraid of is that one day the Jin soldiers went south and they didn't have any breath. What should I do?"

"That's the time to destroy the country. Old man, how much do you want to do alone?"

"It's all about doing one thing."

"You're too arrogant."

"hehe."

The two of them laughed for a moment. After a while, Ning Yi raised the teacup and said, "Old Qin, I won't say nonsense. I understand what you mean. Capital... If I have the chance, I will go there. If there is something I can do, please take care of Mr. Qin. Now I just hope... I won't be too persistent at that time, haha..."

To be fair, Ning Yi has some admiration for what the old man in front of him did. He has no intention of becoming an official, nor does he think that if the situation really takes a sharp turn in the future, he will be able to turn the tide. After all, manpower is sometimes poor. But if he has the opportunity to contribute some effort in the future, it certainly doesn't matter, so there is no need to block the road through his words.

The two sides have known each other for two years. They have talked a lot during this period and know each other's personalities. However, Qin Siyuan doesn't understand the last sentence for a while. Only after a few years can those who truly know Ning Yi understand roughly what level he will make things completely.

That is...a concept that few people dare to think about almost the entire era.

Of course, it was just a peaceful and peaceful early summer at this time, and it was impossible for the appointment with his wife to let go. The two then talked about the situation in Jin and Liao. After a few days, Su Tan'er had arranged everything. Ning Yi and Yun Zhu and Jin'er said goodbye. The whole family took a big boat and headed east along the Yangtze River toward Yangzhou.

In May, the news of the war between Jin and Liao spread all over the country.

At the end of May, Qin Siyuan re-emerged and was promoted to Shangshu Youpushe and the Minister of the Central Secretariat Pingzhang. The rest were rewarded countless times. The reason for re-emerging was not clearly reported to the world, but it also invisibly affirmed the authenticity of the rumors before the New Year and the reputation of the court was unparalleled.

The wheels are turning, and the history of the three kingdoms of Jin, Liao and Wu has entered a new chapter.

At the same time, on the grassland northwest of Liao Kingdom, a tribe named Qiyan had raised the anti-Liao flag and fought on the grassland, rapidly expanding its power like locusts. They were like cyclones hidden in a corner that no one had expected, waiting for continued power, and finally expanded into a huge storm that teared everyone's eyes apart...
