…

At the same time as Hu Yanqing sent an envoy to the Jin State, Li Yan ordered:

The Liberation Army, which had just arrived in Yanjing City, took over from Fang Qifo's army to guard Yanjing City.

And Fang Qifo led the headquarters plus the Tiefutu, the left and right armies of the kidnappers and the volunteers to attack Jizhou, and then open up all the areas leading to the mouth of the Haihe River.

In addition, Li Yan ordered Yue Fei, Fang Xuedu, and Liu Min, who had already entered the pass, to send troops to recover Songting Pass after laying out defenses at Gubeikou, and at the same time to take Danzhou and Shunzhou and their prefectures and counties as soon as possible.

All in all, Li Yan wanted to turn Yandi into his own as soon as possible, and then get in touch with the Sunset Fleet and completely incorporate the Yanyun region into his own territory.

……

When Hu Yanqing and his party came to Gubeikou, Liu Min had already set up defenses here, Yue Fei was already preparing to collect Songting Pass, and Fang Xuedu was already preparing to attack Danzhou.

Hu Yanqing told Yue Fei and the three of them, and Li Yan's assessment of the three of them going out to fight without authorization made Yue Fei, Fang Xuedu, and Liu Min burst into tears, Yue Fei said: "When we came to Gubeikou, we found that the Jin army was attacking Gubeikou, obviously, they want to occupy here, Gubeikou is the territory of our Shuibo Liangshan, and Gubeikou is the north gate of our Shuibo Liangshan, how can we give it to others?" So, I gave the order to attack the Jin army, and then defeated the Jin army, and then we attacked the Gubeikou, and I have already written and folded these things to the Dadu Governor. ”

When Hu Yanqing heard that it was Gubeikou that the Jin army attacked first, his eyes moved, and he said in his heart: "Things have become easier." ”

Hu Yanqing said: "The Metropolitan Governor told us that before you set out on the expedition, he had already given you an order to act cheaply, therefore, any action you take is to act in accordance with his orders, without any mistakes, I also heard that the Metropolitan Governor vetoed Zhao Xianggong's proposal to punish you for going into battle without authorization, and said with certainty that you fought very well in this battle, played the prestige of the Liangshan army, and let the world know who is the strongest army in the world." ”

No matter how steady Yue Fei is, after all, he is only twenty years old, and after hearing this, he still can't help but feel excited, and even Fang Xuedu and Liu Min can't help but feel agitated in their hearts!

You must know that starting a war with the Jin army without authorization can be big or small, and if you are not careful, you may provoke a strong enemy for the new force of Shuibo Liangshan.

Therefore, before this, Yue Fei, Fang Xuedu, Liu Min, especially Fang Xuedu and Liu Min, were actually a little nervous.

Now, Li Yan personally defined their behavior, and sent Hu Yanqing to clean up the aftermath for them, so that Yue Fei, Fang Xuedu, and Liu Min were all relieved, and at the same time, they were more loyal to Li Yan.

……

Leaving Gubeikou, Hu Yanqing and his party went straight to Bei'anzhou.

When they arrived in Bei'anzhou, Hu Yanqing's entourage explained the situation to Jin Jun who was guarding the checkpoint.

After that, Hu Yanqing and his party were invited to rest in the post station.

In the evening, after receiving Yan Xiyin, he brought Hu Yanqing and his party into the city to be hospitalized.

The next day, Wanyan Aguta's cousin, Wanyan Pujianu, formally negotiated with Hu Yanqing on behalf of the Jin State.

Wanyan Pu Jianu preemptively attacked: "Why did your Liangshan army sneak attack our Jin army for no reason? I hope that your envoy can give us a reasonable explanation for the Dajin Kingdom, otherwise, the 200,000 warriors of my Dajin Kingdom will soon go south and seek justice from the majority of your family. ”

Hu Yanqing said: "My Liangshan army has not been defeated since it set out on the expedition, so it will not be afraid of any battle, but the governor of my family has always believed that force is not the best means to solve the problem, so he sent me here." ”

Wanyan Pu Jianu's eyes narrowed slightly, and said, "Listening to your envoy's meaning, are you not afraid of a war with our Dajin Kingdom?" ”

Hu Yanqing said: "The governor of my family does not want to use war to solve the problem, and the governor of my family has never been afraid of any war. ”

Wanyan Pu's eyes moved slightly, and then said: "Okay, I will tell my emperor about the attitude of your envoy and your governor, so now please explain to your envoy, why did your Liangshan army sneak attack our Jin army?" ”

Hu Yanqing said: "Before I answer this question from the prince, please answer me first, why did your Jin army appear at the Gubeikou of our Shuibo Liangshan, and also attack our Gubeikou of Shuibo Liangshan?" ”

Wanyan Pujianu said: "Gubeikou was originally the territory of the Liao State, and it was previously the territory of the Xi people, not the land of your Han people. ”

Hu Yanqing said: "The Liao State was destroyed by the Metropolitan Governor of my family, and the original territory of the Liao Kingdom should naturally belong to the Metropolitan Governor of my family, and when the Metropolitan Governor of my family captured Yanjing, what did you mean by the sudden attack of Gubeikou by your Jin army, but you want to take advantage of the danger of our Liangshan Army and sneak attack our Liangshan Army?" ”

Wanyan Pu Jianu said: "Joke, without my Dajin Kingdom fighting from north to south, how can you Shuibo Liangshan have the opportunity to take the land of Yanyun, don't forget to dig wells?" As for the destruction of Liao, it is even more nonsense, the Yelu Yanxi people are still in the mountains, and the Liao State has not been completely destroyed, how can it be destroyed by the governor of your family? What most of your family has destroyed is just a puppet Liao regime, and our Dajin State and Song State have never recognized Yeluchun's regime. As for sending troops to Gubeikou without saying hello, although there is no need to explain to you, but in the spirit of friendly sincerity, I still want to tell you, at that time, our Dajin Kingdom did not know that you Shuibo Liangshan attacked Yanjing, and Yanjing at that time was still an ownerless city. ”

Hu Yanqing did not dwell on the matter of destroying Liao, first, Wanyan Pu Jianu was right, Emperor Tianzuo is not dead, so the Liao State has not been destroyed, and second, it is not important whether the Liao State destroyed by Shuibo Liangshan is actually not important, so there is no need to hold on to this matter, so Hu Yanqing avoided the matter of destroying Liao, and said: "In this way, the conflict in front of Gubeikou is just a misunderstanding, just a misunderstanding caused by the unclear border between our two sides?" ”

Wanyan Pu Jianu said noncommittally: "But my Dajin Kingdom has indeed killed and injured nearly 10,000 warriors. ”

Hu Yanqing said: "For this misunderstanding caused by the unclear border, on behalf of the governor of my family, I would like to express my heavy condolences to the dead warriors of the Dajin Kingdom, in addition, in order to avoid similar incidents from happening again, I think that both of us should mark the border as soon as possible, and then each restrain the army not to cross the border." ”

Not bad.

This is the real purpose of Huyanqing's visit to Bei'an Prefecture - to clarify the border.

In other words, Shuibo Liangshan prepared a truce with the Jin State, and then concentrated on recovering Yandi and the three states of Luanying, and then establishing a state, and then cutting down the Song Dynasty.

But—

This is just wishful thinking on the part of Shuibo Liangshan.

Meanwhile.

In the big tent of Yan Agu.

Zhao Liangsi, Ma Kuo, and Wang Huan were after lobbying, and Yan Agu attacked Li Yan with troops.

Wang Huandao: "Before I came, the official family and Tong Xuanfu specially told me that as long as the Dajin Kingdom sent troops north to help us in the Great Song Dynasty to quell Li Yan's rebellion, recover Yanjing and the prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction and the three prefectures and counties under its jurisdiction, and the three prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of Pingluanying, the matter of the New Year's coin would be easy to discuss. ”

Ma Kuodao: "I have seen Li Dadudu, he is a genius, mighty and unyielding, with the style of Han Wu and Tang Zong, and seems to have Han Wu and Tang Zongzhi, if it is in troubled times, he will be a great hero who swept the Liuhe Eight Wilderness, but now it is not a troubled time, the people of my Great Song Dynasty are now living and working in peace and contentment, and your people of Dajin are also recuperating, and the society has settled down, so we don't need a big hero like Li Dadudu." ”

Zhao Liangsi took over the conversation and said: "Our official family is a kind-hearted person, sending troops to recover Yanjing, just to fulfill the ancestors' wishes, his people have no heart for external expansion, and they are pot-bellied, never careful, they are really rare good neighbors, but Li Yan is different, his person is a sword out of the sheath, where he passes, everyone must surrender, if you are neighbors with Li Yan, there is little friction, and then it is likely to evolve into war, the arrogance of the Liangshan army You also saw it, without saying a word that is war, the belligerence can be seenTherefore, in the future, Li Yan, who has freed up his hands and feet, may follow the example of Han Wu and Tang Zong to send troops to your Dajin Kingdom to force you to surrender completely......"
