    ????????????? ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    The destruction of Yanjing City was like knocking down the first domino. The entire Yanjing Road, including Shun, Tong, Ping, Luan and Jizhou, all fell apart, and the army was defeated like a mountain.  Wherever the Tianzhu Army's First Reorganized Division and the Bohai Division arrived, they either broke through the city in a few days, or besieged the city and forced a landing, or even the Jin army abandoned the city and fled before the troops arrived.

    And all the Jin soldiers who were hopeful of fleeing north were intercepted by the hunting battalions of the Tianzhu Army who had been waiting for a long time as soon as they ran out of the Great Wall. They were intercepted in batches or forced to land.  In the end, not one of the nearly 30,000 troops deployed by the Jin Kingdom in the Yanjing Road states came back.

    By the end of June, nearly 20,000 soldiers and horses of the Northern Expeditionary Army on the eastern front had crossed the Great Wall and were leaning against Ma Yanshan, with their troops pointing directly at Dading Prefecture.

    As the two auxiliary armies that took over the territory and maintained public security: the supplementary division and the Fushan Brigade, they could hardly keep up with the speed of the main force in seizing the city and setting up the stronghold.  Here we have just settled down the prisoners, suppressed the riots, wiped out the remaining enemies, and checked the results of the battle. Over there came an order for the security forces to move into the next city quickly

    The supplementary division and Fushan Brigade combined totaled less than 10,000 people. They had to ensure the logistics and transportation of two reorganized divisions, an independent division and a force for a sea-crossing expedition, and they also had to undertake the vigilance and security work of recovering lost territory. The pressure was huge.  The additional division commander Yang Fen and the new Fushan brigade commander Zuo Kai complained endlessly, but they could only grit their teeth and endure.

    Fortunately, the powerful military strength and ruthless killing of the Tianzhu Army completely suppressed the Han'er of Yan.  Advocate strength.  People who worship the strong will only kneel and lick you once they are subdued, and they will never dare to cause trouble with you.  The supplementary division and Fushan Brigade only put one capital in each state, one team in each county, and commanded a number of new attached troops below, so that the situation could be stabilized.

    Almost at the moment when the news of Yanjing¡¯s defeat came, the morale of Weizhou, which had been besieged by the Second Reorganized Division for nearly ten days, collapsed rapidly, and the Jin soldiers fled.  Falling down.  The most important link in the chain of Youyun states - Weizhou.  capture.

    Just as He Yuanqing was preparing to march westward to help the Fourth Reorganized Division and the Qin Feng Army, and encircle Yunzhong, the last link in the Youyun Chain, the Yunzhong Mansion in Xijing of the Jin Kingdom.  A great change is brewing that could shake the foundation of the Jin Kingdom.

    ? Back in late May.  When Yanjing has not yet been pacified.  Yue Fei's twelve mixed brigades had taken the lead and captured Yingzhou.  The rest were surrounded by Shuozhou and Wuzhou.  After the Iron Triangle was knocked off a corner, they fell into a difficult situation and struggled to hold on, hoping that Yunzhong would send troops to rescue them.

    At this moment, there are "four carriages" in Yunzhong Mansion, namely Han Qixian, the left-behind officer in Xijing, Li Chuneng, the deputy left-behind officer, General Zuo Jinwu, Marshal Yelu Yujian, the right governor, and Yelu Nuge, the military governor of Yunnei.  Two civil servants and two military commanders were in charge of military and political affairs.

    These four people are all Khitan people and are the legacy of the Liao Dynasty. Most of the 13,000 soldiers and horses in Xijing are from the Khitan, Bohai and Xi people in the former Liao Kingdom.  To a certain extent, Xijing was in the hands of the Khitans.

    Yerunuge is the deputy envoy of the Xijing army. As early as the second year of Jianyan, when the Tianzhu army attacked Taiyuan, Yerunuge began to fight with the Tianzhu army.  Since then, the two armies have been facing each other at Tianmen Pass for half a year.  After Hedong was pacified, the Tianzhu Army attacked all the way north and drove Yerunuge out of Yanmen Pass.  If Yelu Yujian hadn't led troops to help in time to stabilize the situation, Yunzhongmenying, Shuo and Wuzhou would have been captured by the Tianzhu Army.

    During this time of the Tianzhu Army¡¯s Northern Expedition, Yerunuge was also on the front line and was in Yingzhou.  When Yue Fei broke into Yingzhou, Brother Yelunu escaped from the city in time and saved his life - counting carefully, Brother Yelunu had been defeated by the Tianzhu army countless times, and this time he was almost captured.  His last bit of courage was completely wiped out.  After returning to Yunzhong, he was bedridden and stayed at home. He left all military command to Yelu Yujian and refused to take over.

    And when the front line was tight, the two states were in emergency, and Han Qixian repeatedly urged to send troops, the attitude of Yelu Yujian, the commander-in-chief of Yunzhong's troops, and his deputy left-behind Li Chuneng was thought-provoking.  They did not send troops in time. On the contrary, they secretly sent envoys.

    On the second day of June, Yue Fei, whose brigade headquarters was stationed in Yingzhou, secretly received a special envoy.

    The person who came here had a very high status. He was once the military governor of Yuzhou. His name was Xiao Temou Ge, and he was Yelu Yujian's confidant general.  Yelu Yujian sent such a high-level general to show his sincerity and to give the negotiators higher authority.

    That¡¯s right, Yelu Yujian and Li Chuneng are about to surrender.

    Yelu Yujian was a member of the Liao royal family and a general of the Liao Kingdom. His wife was the sister of Emperor Tianzuo's concubine.  After the gold was dropped, he made great contributions to the Jin Kingdom's destruction of the Song Dynasty. His high position in the military was almost as high as that of Wan Yanchang, another important minister of the Jin Kingdom who was now a prisoner of the Tianzhu Army.  Among the generals of the Liao Dynasty who surrendered to the Kingdom of Jin, this person had the highest position, and he was also one of the few generals who could hold real power.

    Because of this, the senior officials of the Jin Kingdom were really worried about their people, so they decided to seek refuge with the Jurchens from Yeluyu.From day one, the Jurchens were suspicious and wary of him.  When Yelu Yujian first surrendered to the Jin Kingdom, the Jin people detained his family, wife and children as hostages. Yelu Yujian demanded that his family members be returned.  Not only did the high-ranking officials of the Jin Kingdom refuse to allow it, but they ordered Haosheng, the commander of the Xianzhou Road Dudu, to monitor the situation. They also ordered the Khitan army led by Yelu Yujian to be moved to the Jurchen hinterland to prevent them from colluding with the Song people.

    There was a public case at that time.  Yelu Yujian and other Khitan generals achieved great success, but some people developed arrogance and conceitedness.  The Jurchen generals were unconvinced and had some complaints.  It happened that a Khitan general named Yelu Ma reported Yelu Yujian for rebellion, so deputy marshal Wanyan Xie also gave advice to A Gu, reminding him to attack the Khitan army as soon as possible.

    The measures taken by Aguda are quite heroic.  He invited Yelu Yujian and other Khitan generals, and calmly said: "Now that I heard that you are plotting rebellion, it is true that you are evil, and everyone has nothing to hide. If you go, you must be saddled with horses, armor, and weapons. I will pay you in full. I will not break my promise. If you do it again  If you are captured, you will not be spared from death. If you want to keep me in check, you will have no ulterior motives. I will not doubt you."

    It just means "You want to leave? Okay, I will send horses and soldiers and armor. We will see you on the battlefield. I will catch you then and kill you without mercy! If you don't leave and stay, I will never doubt you."

    Yelu Yujian and other Khitan generals were shocked and trembled after hearing this, and fell to the ground begging for mercy.  at last.  Aguda only caught one typical person, a guy named Tula who danced quite badly, and gave him seventy punishments with the cane, and released all the others.

    In front of a Jurchen hero like A Guda, Yelu Yujian was convinced and had no second thoughts. However, after Aguda died, the top brass of the Jin Kingdom were extremely suspicious of the Khitan generals with military power headed by Yelu Yujian - just imagine  , Wanyan Xieye, who had suggested killing them back then.  At this time, he was already the crown prince of the Jin Kingdom and the marshal of the Jin Army.  The future emperor of the Jin Kingdom.  Isn't it chilling to have such an attitude towards these surrendered generals?

    Although at this time, Wanyan Xieye, the shadow that had shrouded Yelu Yujian's head for many years, died of a serious illness last year.  But the Khitan generals were deprived of their military rights.  It is one of the established national policies of the Jin Kingdom.  It will not disappear when a big shot dies.

    To be honest, Yelu Yujian's situation is actually the same as that of Yaoshi Guo.  The difference is that.  Pharmacist Guo's influence is only in the Yanjing area. To deal with him, you only need to consider the feelings of the Han people in Yan. However, the Han people in Yan only account for a small minority in the vast territory of the Jin Kingdom.  Therefore, Pharmacist Guo was seized of power early, resigned, and finally dealt with directly and violently.  But behind Yeluyu, there were the Khitan royal family, old officials, and the vast number of survivors of the old Liao Dynasty.  These people account for more than 70% of the population in the Kingdom of Jin. Dealing with them is not as simple as Pharmacist Guo. The top brass of the Kingdom of Jin have to act with caution.

    This is also the reason why Yelu Yujianeng has always occupied this important position.  Similarly, Yelu Yu also understood in his heart that the final fate of this group of people would not be much better than that of Yaoshi Guo.

    Being prepared for a rainy day was Yelu Yujian¡¯s helpless choice.  In the history of another time and space, Yelu Yujian at this time had been ordered by the Jin Dynasty court to expedition to the Yelu Dashi in Western Liao.

    At that time, Wanyan Zonghan ordered Yelu Yujian to lead 20,000 Yan, Yun, and Jurchen cavalry to march to Hele City to conquer Western Liao. At the same time, he mobilized civilians from Shanxi and Hebei to transport grain and grass from Yunzhong Prefecture. These civilians had to travel more than 3,000 miles of desert land to do so.  When we arrived at Hele City, we suffered a lot of hardships on the way. Countless people died from exhaustion on the way, and only a few of them came back alive.

    When Yelu Yujian led the Jin army to Hele City, Yelu Dashi of Western Liao Dynasty had already led his troops to escape.  However, the Jin army had to stop the pursuit due to lack of food and grass, and ultimately returned without success.  There are naturally a lot of intriguing things here.  Therefore, some people suspected that Yelu Yujian let Yelu Dashi go.  At this time, Yelu Yujian's personal soldier Hedong happened to lose the gold medal. The suspects made up the plot in a dramatic way, claiming that Yelu Yujian gave the gold medal to Yelu Dashi, and opened a wide margin to help Yelu Dashi escape.  Therefore, the Kingdom of Jin imprisoned Yelu Yujian's wife and children and escorted them to Shangjing.

    Seeing that Yelu Yu was not a man waiting to be killed, he contacted Yanyun Khitan and the Han people to rebel together.  Unfortunately, the news leaked, and Lieutenant General Yerunuge reported it to the Jin people. In the end, the rebellion failed, and instead fell into the hands of Wanyan Xiyin, who was sent by the Jin State to handle the matter, and ended up with a disastrous ending in which everyone was massacred.

    And in this time and space, time has changed, things have changed, and people have changed several times, but some things will always exist no matter how they change.  For example, the suspicion of the Jin people, the worries of Yelu Yujian, the conflicts between the Jurchens and the survivors of the Liao Dynasty, etc.

    Due to the rise of Tianshu City and the threat of the Tianzhu Army, Yelu Yujian never set out to conquer the Western Liao Dynasty like in the original history.  However, the Tianzhu Army launched a strong attack, and the situation in Xijing was in danger. To a certain extent, this turned the fuse caused by the failure of the Liao expedition in history into a new fuse that the Jurchens were defeated and Yelu Yujian chose again.  .

    The climate is different and the situation is different, but as long as the pressure is still there and the person with second thoughts is still there, then, as long as the opportunity comes, history will definitely follow a similar path.

    So, Yeluyu?, here we come.

    Xiao Temouge submitted to Yue Fei the conditions for Yelu Yujian's surrender: 1. Welcome and return Emperor Tianzuo; 2. Maintain the current status of Yunzhong; 3. Pressure the Kingdom of Jin to return his wives, concubines, and children; 4.  The Khitan generals and officials in the Kingdom of Jin were on the same side.

    Yelu Yujian¡¯s great gift was to disarm the tens of thousands of Khitan troops and offer them to Yunzhong. He was also willing to recruit Khitan generals from other states to surrender on behalf of the Tianzhu Army and order them to present the city.

    " Of course Yue Fei couldn't make the decision on such a major matter, so he immediately reported it to the division headquarters.

    Two days later, the fourth reorganized division headquarters of Yanmen Pass sent a messenger and took away Xiao Temouge.  A few days later, the messenger galloped out of Pingxingzhai, left Hebei from Feihuxing, and rushed to Yanjing.

    When the messenger arrived in Yanjing, Di Lie had already led his army to the Great Wall and was preparing to attack Dading Mansion.  By the time the courier, exhausted from running around, arrived at Pingzhou, where the Northern Expeditionary Army headquarters was located, it was already the end of June.

    After Di Lie read the letter, he immediately ordered Ling Yuan, the chief of general staff of the Tianzhu Army, to be the plenipotentiary representative of the negotiations, give instructions face-to-face, and set off with the seal.  This return trip will take almost a month.  After such delays, the situation in Yunzhong has undergone unpredictable changes.

    The culprit of the great change came from Yerunuge.

    Yerunuge is not ill, but he just doesn¡¯t want to risk fighting with the Tianzhu Army. Anyway, he will lose if he fights again. No one wants to be a general who is always defeated, let alone fight a battle that is bound to lose.  However, this does not mean that Yerunuge will give up his military power. On the contrary, he will only hold on tighter.

    Yelu Yu saw that he was dilly-dallying and delayed in sending reinforcements. Eventually, Shuo and Wu Prefectures fell to the hands of the Tianzhu Army in mid-June.  Immediately, the Fourth Reorganization Division and Qin Feng Army surrounded Yunzhong.  In such a critical situation, Yelu Yujian seemed to be holding on.

    Brother Yelunu has always been at odds with Yelu Yujian. Seeing this, he became suspicious, and the underworld spies actually found out about Yelu Yujian's impending surrender. History overlapped again, and it was this brother Yelunu who discovered the secret of Yelu Yujian.  However, this time, he could not report to Beijing.  Even if he reported it to the police, it would be useless. How dare Wanyan Xiyin dare to go to Beijing?

    This time, Brother Yelunu also has a plan that is different from the one in history - to offer the city as a token of sincerity, right?  Put me aside, right?  How can you, Yelu Yujian and Li Chuneng, take all this incredible credit?  If you want to contribute, I will do it!  I, Brother Yelunu, am the most outstanding hero in the clouds!

    Yelu Nuge's plan has been decided. He immediately summoned his old troops, joined forces with the troops loyal to him, and suddenly launched an attack at night with two thousand men to attack Yelu Yujian and Li Chuneng.

    Li Chuneng was not in charge of the army. There were only more than a hundred military generals in the mansion, and there was a huge disparity in military strength. Furthermore, he was killed by surprise. In an instant, the deputy left-behind mansion was filled with blood.  From Li Chuneng down, all the members of the military and family members were slaughtered.

    Yeluyu saw that this side was the focus of Brother Yelunu. Not only did he have the largest number of troops, but he also went into battle himself.  Seeing that Yeluyu was worthy of being a battlefield general, he broke out of the encirclement and rushed to the military camp outside the city, gathering his subordinates to counterattack Yelunuge.

    This quarrel lasted all night.

    The situation in the Tianzhu Army camp outside the city was unknown. The entire army was on alert, with soldiers and armor in full order. They looked at the flames of Yunzhong City in the distance and heard the sound of killings. Although it was guessed that there must be great changes in the city, but in the dark night,  How dare you act rashly?

    The generals of each brigade who knew what happened to Yelu Yujian all guessed that Yelu Yujian must have suppressed the rebellious people and cleared the way for Xiancheng to surrender.  No matter which side the situation favors, they must wait until dawn before making any plans.

    At dawn, the cannibalism in the clouds has come to an end.  Seeing that Yelu Yu had superior strength, he wiped out all of Yelu Nuge's subordinates, and Yelu Nuge himself also died in the rebellion.  Yelu Yujian finally avenged his betrayal in another time and space.

    After such an internal fight, most of Yunzhong's soldiers and horses were killed or injured, and the morale of the army collapsed. The soldiers no longer had any will to defend the city, and Yelu Yu saw that he no longer had the capital to negotiate with the Tianzhu Army.

    On the fifth day of the seventh lunar month, Han Qixian was left behind in Yunzhong. Marshal Yelu Yujian, the right commander of the army, led five thousand remaining troops and surrendered. At this time, Ling Yuan, the chief negotiator of the Tianzhu Army, was still on his way to Yunzhong.

    Yan Jingping is flat in the southeast; Ding in the clouds is Ding in the northwest.

    ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? The Northern Expedition army was like the rolling lava that had been suppressed for hundreds of years, and now it finally burst out, flowing blazingly and unstoppably.  (To be continued)
