    The tree wanted to be quiet but the wind was not stopping, and Daliang was ready to rest for a while, but a gold medal urgent report from Hebei made the Ministry of War start to operate again.  Literature Museum

    When Chao Yong rushed to the Chongzheng Hall, Lin Chong, the right minister of the Ministry of War, and Lu Junyi, the left minister of the Ministry of War, were both there.

    Chao Gai saw Chao Yong coming and said, "What do you think of the urgent report from Hebei?"

    When Lu Junyi, the left servant on duty, presented the urgent report to Chao Gai, he also sent someone to report it to Chao Yong.

    Chao Yong said: "The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally the land of our Han people. Now that the Han people from the north are coming to vote, we naturally cannot refuse."

    Chao Gai nodded and said: "What you are saying is that although the country has just been settled, farming this year will still be greatly affected. Summer grain is still tight across the country. If we want to send troops, I am afraid that we will not be able to support too many troops."

    Lu Junyi said: "The Liao Kingdom has no more than 100,000 soldiers and horses on Nanjing Road, and it still needs to defend the Jin Kingdom. We have taken over Zhuozhou and Yizhou, and the Liao Kingdom may not dare to attack."

    Lin Chong nodded and said: "Yeluchun has just passed away, and the Empress Dowager Xiao is regent. The people in Nanjing must be unstable. The Jin Kingdom is still eyeing it. They must not dare to fight on both sides. We only need to let Hebei troops stationed in Zhuo and Yizhou, and the Liao Kingdom  Don¡¯t dare to attack.¡±

    Chao Yong said: "The Han people have come to surrender, and we have no reason to refuse. We can first let Kai Kai lead his troops to station in Zhuo and Yizhou, and then send a general to the north for reinforcements to prevent the Liao Kingdom from invading."

    Chao Gai slapped the case and said: "Okay, then let Zhang Kai lead his troops to take over the two states."

    Zhuozhou stayed in the mansion. After receiving Li Chuwen's letter, Pharmacist Guo was very moved. Now the situation in the world is very clear. The beams in the south are as strong as the sky, the Jin Kingdom in the north is also like a wolf and a tiger, and the Liao Kingdom is in danger. No matter where it is,  Even if the country sends troops, it can destroy the Liao Kingdom.

    He has already considered a retreat, but he has been hesitating whether to invest in gold or in beam.  The national policy of the Kingdom of Jin is that all Liao officials who surrender to them will remain loyal to them.  Those who lead the masses to surrender can even inherit their official positions from generation to generation.  However, the military structure of Daliang is that all the newly-reigned soldiers and horses who are overage must be disarmed and returned to the field, and the rest must be reorganized in Tokyo.  In other words, if he voted for the Kingdom of Jin, he could still lead the original troops. If he voted for Daliang, he might still be able to lead the troops, but he would never be the original direct troops.

    Pharmacist Guo didn¡¯t want to give up his direct troops, but he had seen Daliang¡¯s powerful firearms, not to mention that Prince Daliang later invented the spaceship.  The ground can be bombed from a spaceship.  If he voted for the Kingdom of Jin, Daliang and the Kingdom of Jin bordered on each other, Daliang had strong soldiers and horses, and the Kingdom of Jin was a wolf-like savage, both countries would be unlikely to give in when trouble came.  Once the war started, he would have to face off against Daliang's soldiers and horses. He really didn't have the confidence to fight against Daliang's spaceship firearms.

    After reading Li Chuwen¡¯s letter, Pharmacist Guo also made up his mind. Daliang could wipe out the Central Plains in just one year, and it wouldn¡¯t take much effort to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun. It might even take less time to wipe out the Jin Kingdom.  Although the savages of the Kingdom of Jin are like wolves and tigers.  But there are more heroes in the Central Plains, and there are spaceships and firearms in the main beam.

    In troubled times, he can support his troops and respect himself, but in times of peace and prosperity.  No dynasty would allow a general to support himself with troops.

    Daliang has the ability to quickly bring peace to the troubled times, so he no longer has to dream about having an army and self-respect. It is better to bring his troops and horses to the Liang Kingdom in exchange for wealth in the rest of his life.

    Pharmacist Guo made up his mind.  He sent people to invite Zhang Linghui, Liu Shunren, Zhen Wuchen, Zhao Heshou and others, commanders of the Changsheng Army, to discuss returning to Liang.

    The generals of the Changsheng Army are all Han Chinese.  Coupled with the clear situation, they soon agreed to lead their troops back to Liang together.

    After unifying the hearts of the people, Guo Yaoshi sent an eloquent staff member to Hejian Mansion to contact the Hebei Commander-in-Chief, hoping to ask for some benefits.

    As soon as the staff were dispatched, news came from Nanjing that Li Chuwen had conspired to kidnap Empress Dowager Xiao and throw her into the Liang Dynasty, where she was beheaded in public.

    When Pharmacist Guo got the news, he immediately panicked. He only thought that Li Chuwen was hiding something, but did not know that it was Empress Dowager Xiao who vented her personal anger and framed Li Chuwen.  While scolding Li Chuwen for not thinking things through, he asked people to invite the commanders of the Chang Sheng Army.

    When everyone arrived, Pharmacist Guo said: "Li Chuwen's return to Liang Dynasty was defeated and he was killed by Empress Dowager Xiao. The matter of Li Chuwen's letter to me has probably been exposed. I'm afraid Khitan soldiers or Xi tribe soldiers have come to arrest us.  ¡±

    Zhang Linghui said: "It's exposed. We simply change the banner of Daliang now. I'm sorry Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi don't dare to attack us."

    Others also agreed to change the flag immediately.

    Guo Yaoshi saw that people's hearts could be used, so he stood up and said: "Okay, then we will plant the Han flag on this Han land today. Zhao Heshou, you take people to get Xiao Yuqing, the supervisor, and the others will follow me to the military camp for the military parade."  ¡±

    Guo Yaoshi was born with a Weishi. These two sentences are even more loud, and all the Han will be stunned.

    "yes."

    "yes"When Guo Yaoshi led the generals to the military camp and assembled the eight thousand victorious troops in the school field, Zhao Heshou had also captured Xiao Yuqing.

    When the officers and soldiers in the school field saw Zhao Heshou kidnapping the supervisors, they all felt that something was about to happen, and they all looked up at Pharmacist Guo on the general stage.

    Pharmacist Guo raised his hand to suppress the slight noise in the school ground and shouted: "We and other officers of the Ever Victorious Army are all Han people who were unfortunately born in the north. We grew up under the oppression of the Khitan and Xi people. Later, we fought for the Liao and Jin Dynasties.  Everyone worked hard for the Liao Kingdom, but we were still oppressed by the Khitans and Xi people. They rode horses and we walked; they ate meat and we ate dry food. Emperor Tianxi had just died, and Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi  Just kill the Han people in Nanjing. They are afraid that the Han people will defect to the Liang Dynasty and want to kill the Han people. Can we just sit back and wait for death?"

    "cannot"

    "cannot"

    "cannot"

    The grievances accumulated by the officers and soldiers of the Ever Victorious Army were provoked by Guo Yaoshi's few words, and they roared out one after another.

    A group of sparrows flying over the school grounds were shocked and fled in all directions.

    Pharmacist Guo raised his hand to stop the roar of the victorious army and said: "The Khitans and the Xi people don't regard us as Liao people, then we will seek refuge in Liang. Daliang is the country of the Han people. With the protection of Daliang, we will no longer need to  Oppressed by the Khitans and Xi people."

    Zhang Linghui immediately raised his arms from behind and shouted: "Return to Liang."

    "Return to Liang"

    "Return to Liang"

    Seeing that the matter was settled, Medicine Master Guo asked people to raise the banner of the rush-made beam.

    There is no time to sew, so I can only write a big red word "Liang" on the black cloth.

    After changing the flag, Pharmacist Guo sent people to report to the Hebei General Army, hoping that Kaikai would send reinforcements to prevent the Liao Kingdom from attacking Zhuo and Yi Prefectures.

    Hejian General Military Mansion.  Just after Zhang Kai received the envoy from Medicine Master Guo and asked him to mobilize troops and horses to obey orders, he heard the envoy from Medicine Master Guo coming to see him again.

    He opened his mouth to let the envoy Guo Yaoshi in, and said impatiently: "The imperial court has its own opinions on what rewards the imperial court will give you. I can't make the decision, and I can't promise you anything. I have sent someone to report to the imperial court and ask the imperial court to give you a generous reward, but it is guaranteed  It depends on the emperor's will. It's useless for you to come to me every day."

    The envoy of Pharmacist Guo said hurriedly: "I am not bothering you with this matter. General Guo just sent people here, and they have already raised the banner of Daliang, announcing the return of Zhuo and Yi Prefectures to Liang, and asked General Zhang to send troops north to protect the two prefectures."

    Zhang Zhang was also stunned. Guo Yaoshi's envoy was still negotiating terms just now.  Not to mention that the imperial court had replied to the letter, but the people who sent the letter to the imperial court had just left the city. Why did Medicine Master Guo suddenly surrender?

    Seeing Zhang Zhang's hesitation, the envoy of Pharmacist Guo quickly added: "Li Chuwen has been killed, and General Guo's story may have been leaked. The Liao Kingdom is likely to send troops to attack Zhuozhou. We also ask General Zhang to send troops north for reinforcements as soon as possible. Otherwise, the Han people in Zhuozhou may be attacked."  disaster."

    Zhang Kai hesitated for a moment and asked people to invite Zhu Dian, the deputy general of the Ma Army.

    Former Fan Chao Yong repulsed the invading troops of the Liao Kingdom and allowed Kai Kai to take control of Hebei. He also allocated 10,000 horses to allow him to practice cavalry.  Kaifeng then selected generals with good horsemanship skills from various prefectures in Hebei Province to train troops.  It has been more than a year now and he has trained 10,000 cavalry.

    The original 10,000 horses have long been reduced to ten, and all were damaged in training. The 20,000 horses currently equipped by the cavalry were all purchased by the imperial court from Ningxia Road and Qinghai Road.

    Dong Ping, Yang Zhi, Mu Hong and Lu Zhishen on Ningxia Road have all been replaced by cavalry.  In the Central Plains, apart from the 10,000 cavalrymen of Hua Rong of the capital, there are also the 10,000 cavalrymen of Hebei Lu Kaikai.

    Hebei's 10,000 cavalry were under direct jurisdiction.  Among the ten lieutenants under his command, the one whom Zhang Kai valued the most was Zhu Tong, the handsome man with beard.

    On that day, Zhu Tong was released from Song Jiang and was assassinated in Cangzhou. Chao Yong did not let anyone use his vicious plan to win Zhu Tong up the mountain.  Zhu Tong has been following the orders of the Cangzhou magistrate. Later, Lu Junyi led troops to attack Hebei. Zhu Tong persuaded the Cangzhou magistrate to surrender, and then became a commander of thousands in Cangzhou.  When Zhang Kai summoned the generals from various states, he heard that Zhu Tong immediately made a good sword, so he transferred Zhu Tong to become the commander of the cavalry army.  Later, because Zhu Dian was good at training troops, he was promoted to deputy general of the Ma Army.

    Zhu Dian rushed to the General Military Mansion, clasped his fists and said, "I have seen General Zhang."

    Zhang Kai nodded and said: "The two states of Zhuo and Yi have surrendered to me, Daliang. The Liao soldiers from Nanjing Road may attack Zhuozhou. I order you to lead an army of 10,000 horses to Zhuozhou to frighten the Liao soldiers."

    Zhu Tong said doubtfully: "Looking at the schedule, I'm afraid the documents from the imperial court haven't been issued yet. I'm afraid the general will be impeached for moving troops across the border privately."

    He opened his smile and said: "The Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun was originally the land of our Han people, and the Victory Army is all Han people. The court documents must let us take over the two prefectures of Zhuozhou and Yi. We will take the first step to calm the hearts of the people of Zhuozhou."  . Go ahead. The court will ask about the crime.??I'm responsible for it.  "

    Seeing how determined Zhang Kai was, Zhu Tong also handed over his hand and said: "With this order, the final general will make sure that the Liao soldiers dare not take a step beyond the thunder pool."

    Not long after, the 10,000 horse troops stationed outside the city rolled up the dust and headed north.

    Zhuozhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing, Liao Dynasty. The news that Guo Pharmacist changed his flag soon spread to Nanjing.

    Empress Dowager Xiao hurriedly summoned officials to discuss countermeasures.

    When all the officials heard that Chang Shengjun had rebelled, they were also panicked.

    Xiao Qiandao: "When Emperor Tianxi came to the throne, I told him not to trust the Han people and to use Xi people or Khitan people as commanders. Emperor Tianxi did not adopt it and still let Guo Yaoshi command the victorious army. Now he has rebelled."

    There were many Han people among the officials. They couldn't help but feel a little angry when they heard what Xiao Qian said. However, Xiao Qian was domineering and no one dared to speak out.

    Seeing that Xiao Qian put the blame on her deceased husband, Queen Mother Xiao couldn't help but said displeasedly: "Emperor Tianxi also sent a supervisory army there, even if he sent Xi Ren as the commander, how could he suppress all the Han people?"

    Seeing that the two of them were arguing again, Yelu Dashi hurriedly came out to smooth things over and said: "Zhuozhou is only more than a hundred miles away from Xijin Mansion. We need to come up with countermeasures earlier."

    Xiao Qiandao: "This is not the first time that the Ever Victorious Army has rebelled. We just send troops to destroy them. Is there any discussion?"

    Yelu Dashi said: "The Ever Victorious Army has surrendered to Daliang. If we attack Zhuozhou and attract Daliang troops to go north, we will have to fight on two fronts."

    Xiao Qian was just outspoken and not stupid. He immediately frowned after hearing this.

    Seeing Xiao Qian being questioned by Yelu Dashi, Empress Dowager Xiao also said, "How does Dashi Linya think we should respond?"

    Yelu Dashi thought for a while.  Said: "Daliang has always wanted to regain the sixteen states of Yanyun, so it has been unwilling to demarcate the border with Daliao. The Liang Kingdom has unified the Central Plains, and the prince of Daliang has also returned from the south. Now that the Ever Victorious Army has rebelled, Daliang may also have  Take advantage of the situation and go north to seize the sixteen states of Yanyun."

    Even though Xiao Qian was arrogant, his expression changed after hearing Yelu Dashi's analysis.

    Queen Mother Xiao asked anxiously: "Then what should we do?"

    Yelu Dashi said: "Daliang's firearms are very powerful, and there are spaceships that can attack from the sky. If it goes north, I'm afraid it will be difficult for us to stop it, so we must not take the initiative to provoke Daliang. Regarding the rebellion of the Ever Victorious Army, I think it is best to send an envoy  Go to Tokyo and demand the return of Erzhou and the rebels from Daliang."

    Queen Mother Xiao wondered: "How could Daliang return the city to us? Besides, they have always regarded the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun as theirs."

    Yelu Dashi said helplessly: "You can't get it back if you ask for it. But we treat each other with courtesy. It's hard for Daliang to send troops north to attack us."

    Empress Dowager Xiao said: "Dashi Linya means to use Zhuo and Yizhou in exchange for not going north to Daliang?"

    Yelu Dashi shook his head and said: "The prince of Daliang is warlike. Sooner or later he will send troops to seize the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun. I just hope that I can temporarily delay Daliang and prevent Daliang from taking advantage of this victorious army to rebel and go north. Wait until the King of Qin comes with his troops.  Nanjing Road, Daliang is going north, we can resist it by joining forces. "

    In fact, Yelu Dashi is also thinking in the best direction.  The king of Xiangyin and the king of Qin were both in Jiashan. If they led their troops to the Nanjing Road, they would have to pass through the Xijing Road occupied by the Jin soldiers.  Whether King Qin can lead his troops to break through the interception of Jin soldiers is a big question.  Even if King Qin comes.  If they join forces together, they may not be able to block the main force.

    Although there are many problems, Yelu Dashi is still unwilling to sit back and watch the demise of Daliao.

    Empress Dowager Xiao is not greedy for power, especially the power of the Liao Kingdom that may be destroyed at any time.  She also wished that King Qin would take over this mess.  She had already agreed with Yelu Dashi's suggestion, but she also knew that Xiao Qian was the one who could make the decision now.  He had no choice but to ask: "What do you think, Lord Xiao?"

    Xiao Qian was also afraid of Daliang's firearms and spaceships. He hesitated for a moment and said, "I have no objection."

    Queen Mother Xiao turned to Zhang Lin and said, "What does the Grand Master mean?"

    Zhang Lin is also a Han. It is obvious that Xiao Qian and others no longer trust the Han people. He is ready to report illness at home and not ask about political affairs. When Empress Dowager Xiao asked about it, he said, "I think Dashi Linya's plan is sound."  ¡±

    Empress Dowager Xiao nodded and said: "Since the three important ministers have said so, then we will send an envoy to Tokyo to recover the two states. Who can be the envoy?"

    Xiao Qiandao: "Didn't Dashi Linya go on a mission to Daliang some time ago? Dashi Linya also has some friendship with the prince of Daliang, why not send Dashi Linya south again?"

    Hearing this, Yelu Dashi immediately said: "I've been feeling a little unwell recently. I'm afraid that after going south, I won't be able to adapt to the climate, and my condition will get worse, and I'll miss important events."

    Xiao Qian was domineering, and he had an independent army of soldiers and horses.However, he was afraid that Xiao Qian would cause chaos after he left and completely ruin Daliao.

    Queen Mother Xiao also felt that without Yelu Dashi, she would not be able to suppress Xiao Qian. She nodded and said: "Since Dashi Linya is unwell, let's choose someone else. Who is willing to go south to Daliang?"

    The officials looked at each other, but no one wanted to send an envoy.

    Both the Khitans and the Xi people felt that they could not convince Daliang, and they were just accepting their anger by going south. Who would be willing to come out to take this job?

    The Han people had to avoid suspicion, lest they be accused of wanting to return to Liang.

    Queen Mother Xiao waited for a while, looked at all the officials, and stared at Yu Zhongwen, who was the counselor of political affairs, and said: "Yu Qing is well versed in Han culture, is he willing to go on a mission?"

    When Yu Zhongwen, the counselor of political affairs, saw Empress Dowager Xiao's roll call, he had to step out and say: "The minister is clumsy in his speech and has no experience in missions. I am afraid that I will miss important events."

    Empress Dowager Xiao smiled and said: "If Yu Qing is clumsy in speaking, then there will be no one in Liao who can speak eloquently. This trip is related to the national destiny of Liao, and it must be an eloquent person like Yu Qing. I hope Yu Qing will not refuse."

    Seeing what Empress Dowager Xiao said, Yu Zhongwen had no choice but to cup his hands and say: "The Empress Dowager values ??me, and I am willing to do my best."

    Empress Dowager Xiao dismissed all officials and asked people to prepare generous gifts for Yu Zhongwen and his party. It can be said that her attitude was very low.

    After Chao Yong gave the order to Hebei to send troops, he sent Lin Chong to lead 30,000 people from Shi Xiu, Liu Tang, and Suo Chao to the north and stationed in Zhuozhou.

    In Lin Chong's battle to wipe out Wang Qing, only Shi Xiu, the desperate man, Liu Tang, the red-haired ghost, and Suo Chao, the vanguard, took the great credit and were promoted to generals. Then Wang Qing led his troops to surrender.  Holy Water General Shan Tinggui, Shenhuo General Wei Dingguo, Jiuwen Long Shi Jin and others were a step slower and were still captains.

    Most of the Liangshan veterans under Lin Chong and Lu Junyi had dispersed to become officers in the new army. They were promoted to Ministers of War and no longer led troops.

    A few days after the army set off for the expedition, news came from Hebei that the Liao Kingdom would send envoys to Beijing to discuss the matter.

    On July 16, the Liao envoys entered Tokyo.

    Daliang had already transferred civil servants from nearby Hebei to Zhuo and Yizhou to appease the people.

    Chao Gai met with Yu Zhongwen, but once again stated that the sixteen states of Yanyun were Han people's territory, and there was no issue of ownership of Zhuo and Yi states.

    ?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????

    Chao Gai agreed to let Liao become a vassal, but he wanted Liao to return the sixteen states of Yanyun.

    " Several state capitals in the Xijing Road of the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun have fallen into the hands of the Jin people. The remaining state capitals of Nanjing Road are also the only sacred places left in the Liao Kingdom. How dare Yu Zhongwen agree to this.

    I stayed in Tokyo for more than ten days and finally returned without success.
