Knowing that the Song army was only establishing a forward garrison along the coast and had no intention of pursuing the retreating Jin army, Wanyan Changzhi was also relieved, but in order to buy more time for the retreating Jin army and not stimulate the Song army, Wanyan Changzhi did not attack the Song army, and the two sides were safe for the time being.

However, at this time, there was a news that made both Song and Jin a little crying and laughing.

At this time, the Mongol army captured Ulzhou with Jingjing, and after Bi Zaiyu received Yang Yan's order, he immediately sent Yang Changpeng to send troops, seized Yizhou, and attacked Zhuozhou, and finally blocked the route of the Mongol army to continue south. The Mongol army could only turn around and capture the area northeast of Daxingfu.

The defense area of the Jin army was further reduced, but with the central capital Daxing Mansion as the core, including the surrounding seven or eight prefectures and counties such as Zhuozhou, Xiongzhou, Bazhou, Qingzhou, Shunzhou, Tongzhou, and Jizhou, the total number of soldiers and horses was about 80,000, and the rest of the places were completely abandoned.

However, due to the ingenious arrangement of the Jin army, the Song army only occupied a small area east of the line from the Daimyofu to Hejian Province and a small area on the southeast road of Hedong. The rest was basically occupied by the rebels, so the territory of the rebels more than doubled at once, including the entire area of Yanyan Road, Hebei North Road, Hebei West Road, most of Hedong South Road and a small part of Hebei East Road.

At the same time, there are also a considerable number of officials, generals and troops of the Jin State, who are some officials who are unwilling to return to Beijing, and the generals have defected to the camp of the rebels, and the rebels are also good at opening the mountain gate. As a result, the rebels' strength has swelled rapidly, and now Israel has 130,000 or 40,000 troops. Compared with the embarrassment at the beginning of the matter, it is no less than the difference between heaven and earth.

However, with the rapid expansion of the rebels' forces, territory, troops, and personnel, a crucial issue was also placed in front of the two leaders of the rebels, Wanyan Zongzheng and Poza. That is, the rebels started by resisting Yan Changzhi, and now they should also appoint their own emperor. Because after having his own emperor, he can occupy a foothold in the great name, and at the same time, when negotiating with the Great Song Dynasty, he can also be justified.

Since the rebels did not have their own emperor in the early stage, they were not qualified to directly negotiate with the emperor of the Song Dynasty when negotiating with the Great Song Dynasty, and could only negotiate with front-line commanders like Yang Yan about the alliance. Although Yang Yan was not in the Great Song Dynasty, he was not qualified to sign any treaties with the rebels, and the agreements reached before were only verbal and had no substantive terms. Therefore, he immediately proclaimed himself emperor, and the scriptures became the top priority of the rebels.

However, in the selection of the emperor, the two leaders of the rebels, Wanyan Zongzheng and Posa, had serious differences.

At the time of the rebellion, there were three sons of Jin Shizong involved, namely Wanyan Yunzhong, King Zheng Wanyan Yunji, and King Shao Wanyan Yunji. And the king of Shan, Wanyan Yunzhong, died in the war, so the new emperor can only be produced between King Zheng Wanyan Yunji and King Shao Wanyan Yunji.

But the difference lies in the fact that Wanyan Zongzheng advocated supporting the establishment of King Shao Wanyan Yunji, while Po Sa advocated supporting King Zheng Wanyan Yunji.

Wanyan Zongzheng and Po Sa are the two most important leaders of the rebels, it was Wanyan Zongzheng who secretly raised and organized the forces against Wanyan Changzhi's rule, and took the lead in the uprising in Zhongdu, without him, the rebels would not exist at all; And Poza is the local minister with the greatest military power in the rebel army, and has given the rebels the greatest support, so it can be said that without Poza, the rebels would not be able to hold out until now. It can be said that it is strange that there is no contradiction between two people of equal status and equal weight.

At the beginning of the rebels, the situation was difficult, and the two could work together to fight against Yan Changzhi, and at that time, they basically relied on Posa's army, so Posa occupied most of the authority, and could even remove Yan Zongzheng's cronies Cui Li, and Wan Yan Zongzheng could only endure this.

However, with the expansion of the rebel forces, the advantages of the high-ranking officials in the Wanyan Zongzheng dynasty were revealed. His trumpet power is obviously much greater than that of Po Sa, and the vast majority of those who defected to the rebels have been under the door of Wanyan Zongzheng, and at the same time, a considerable part of the army has been collected, so Wanyan Zongzheng does not have to look at Po Sa's eyes in everything, and Cui Li has been re-activated, and his own military team has been established, and the balance of power between the two sides has been leveled again.

In this case, if you can support an emperor who supports you, you will undoubtedly have a greater voice in this group. If one day you can really achieve a great cause, then it is not difficult for you to be in charge of the government, under one person, above ten thousand.

Because Wanyan Zongzheng is a minister, he has more opportunities to contact with King Zheng Wanyan Yunji and King Shao Wanyan Yunji than Po Sa, and they are more tolerant of good relations, but the emperor has only one person who can do it, and he must make a choice among them.

chose to support Wanyan Yunji, the king of Shao, because Wanyan Zongzheng felt that Wanyan Yunji was weaker and easier to be controlled by himself. But King Zheng Wanyan Yunju was obviously unwilling to accept this fact, and decided to follow Wanyan Zongzheng in the first place, just for the temptation that one day, he might also step on the throne. Especially after the death of Wan Yan Yunzhong, Wan Yan Yunzhong felt that the new emperor would sacrifice himself? After Yan Yunji, he has never taken it to heart. Unexpectedly, Wanyan Zongzheng planned to support Wanyan Yunji, who he had always looked down on.

Wanyan Yunju will naturally not be convinced, but he also knows that if there is no support from others, it is impossible for him to influence Wanyan Zongzheng's decision, and at this time, the only person who can confront Wanyan Zongzheng and support him is Posa. Therefore, Wanyan Yunju immediately sent someone to find Po Sa, promised a heavy reward, and asked Po Sa to support him.

At this time, Po Sa was worried, because he had no friendship with King Zheng Wanyan Yunji and King Shao Wanyan Yunji, no matter who was appointed as the emperor, it would not be beneficial to him, but he had no way at all. And at this moment, Wan Yan Yunlu mainly came to the door, but he really fell asleep and met the pillow, and hit it off.

So the next day, when Wanyan Zongzheng proposed to support Wanyan Yunji as the emperor, Po Sa immediately jumped out to oppose it, and advocated the establishment of Wanyan Yunji as the emperor on the grounds that Wanyan Yunji was weak and difficult to convince the public.

Wanyan Zongzheng has been in the officialdom for a long time, and at this time, he didn't know that Po Sa and Wanyan Yunji must have reached an agreement behind their backs in secret. If he really established Yan Yunzhu as the emperor, he would definitely be squeezed out of the new dynasty by Po Sa, so he insisted on his own opinion. And Po Sa is also not an inch, he is not useless in the court, the two sides fought for two days, and no one was willing to compromise.

Wanyan Zongzheng saw that it was not a way to argue, so he came up with another idea. He suggested to Po Sa that he not set up a new monarch for the time being, and that whoever first captured the central capital would appoint whoever supported him as the emperor. He didn't know what the plan was, so he agreed. Because he is the main general of the army, if he wants to capture the central capital, it will definitely be himself, so this agreement is definitely beneficial to himself. In this way, after the two sides agreed, Poza immediately led his army to attack and capture the central capital.

When the army arrived at Zhending Mansion, Wanyan Yunji suddenly caught up with Posa's army and told Po Sa, as soon as he left on his front foot, Wanyan Zongzheng decided to take advantage of Posa's absence, and immediately supported Wanyan Yunji as the emperor in Taiyuan Mansion and changed Yuan Mingchang. At the same time, he is also ready to kill Yan Yunju to prevent future troubles. And Wan Yan Yun was also a little clever, and when he saw that the situation was not good, he immediately secretly ran out of Taiyuan Mansion and came to find Po Sa.

Only then did Po Sa know that he had fallen for Yan Zongzheng's plan to divert the tiger from the mountain, and he was so angry that he was like thunder. However, Wan Yan Yunju actually ran out, and he didn't lose all of them. So he simply didn't do anything, and he supported Yan Yunju as the emperor in the Zhending Mansion, and also changed Yuan Taihe.

In this way, King Zheng Wanyan Yunji and King Shao Wanyan Yunji were proclaimed as the new emperors of the Jin State in Zhending Mansion and Taiyuan Mansion respectively in almost the same time.

The edicts issued by both sides were also delivered to each other almost at the same time. After receiving the edict, Po Sa didn't look at it, so he tore it up, and Wanyan Zongzheng received the edict, he was angry and anxious, but there was nothing he could do. The rebel camp was immediately split into two parts, namely Emperor Mingchang of Taiyuan Mansion and Emperor Taihe of Zhending Prefecture.

At present, Posa has about 80,000 troops in his hands, while Wanyan Zongzheng only has 50,000 horses, and in terms of military strength, Posa has the advantage. However, most of the officials are on the side of Wanyan Zongzheng, and he also occupies the strategic place of Taiyuan Mansion, so the overall strength of the two sides is still about the same. Therefore, although the two sides were hostile, they did not dare to attack easily.

After Yan Changzhi learned about it, he sneered at both sides, thinking in his heart, see if you can make trouble for a few days, and wait until the day you die, I'm afraid that you don't know how you died.

Wanyan Zongzheng and Po Sa are both fans of the authorities, while Wanyan Changzhi is a bystander, and the Song Dynasty has never signed a formal written agreement with the rebels, in fact, it is intended to do so.

In the eyes of the Great Song Dynasty, the rebels and the Mongols were different, the Mongols and the Great Song Dynasty had no hatred, there was no fundamental conflict, and there was still a great consistency in dealing with the big goal of the Jin State, so the two sides could form an alliance or sign a contract.

The rebels are different, the rebels of the Jin State are still the Jin State, but they have changed an emperor, so they and the Great Song Dynasty are essentially impossible to reconcile, for the Great Song Dynasty is only a temporary use, once the Jin State is destroyed or completely retreats from the competition with the Great Song Dynasty, then the next one in the Song army is the rebels.

And after Yang Yan and Zhao Yueru learned the news, both of them couldn't help laughing, there are really people there, there is a struggle there, I didn't expect that at this time, the rebels of the Jin State were still in the mood to fight for power and profit, and even split and opposed. However, this is very beneficial to the Great Song Dynasty, at least to clean them up in the future, which can save a lot of effort.

Now the top priority of the Song army is to capture Zhongdu as soon as possible.
