"Actually, you don't lose too much, it is said that it is sixteen states, but there are only five states that can be controlled in your hands. More than half of the people in these five states are Han Chinese, neither of the same clan nor the same race as you, and it is quite troublesome to rule, so it is better to let them out to ensure peace between the two countries for generations. ”

Ying, Mo, Zhuo, You, Ji, Shun, Tan, Confucian, Confucian, Wu, Xin, Wei, Ying, Yun, Shuo, Huan, in ancient times, it was called Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, or Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.

Nestled between Hebei and Inner Mongolia, this area is mostly mountainous and has become the dividing line between farming and nomadic peoples. If the farming people occupy it, they can rely on the terrain advantages to more easily prevent the nomads from invading the south, and the nomads lose it, and it will be difficult to go south, don't look at this area is neither a very good acre, nor a good pasture, but no one wants to let go.

But the statement of recapturing the sixteen states of Youyun is not accurate, from the time of Song Taizong, Yingzhou and Mozhou have been taken back, and later Yizhou was lost, and when Hong Tao led the new army to the north from the Daimyo Mansion for the first time, it was actually the fifteen states of Youyun.

After the battle of Youzhou, Zhuozhou, Youzhou, Jizhou, Shunzhou, Danzhou, Yizhou, and Ulzhou were reincorporated into the territory of the Great Song Dynasty.

This time, he talked about fighting on behalf of others, and took back Ruzhou and Yanzhou easily, and there were only seven states left in the hands of Jin Guo. Among these seven states, Shuozhou and Yingzhou have actually been taken down by the forbidden army of Hedong Road taking advantage of the destruction of the Liao State, so what Hong Tao is now asking for from the Jin State is only Huanzhou, Yunzhou, Yingzhou, Wuzhou, and Xinzhou.

Among these five states, Huanzhou, Yingzhou, and Xinzhou are all small places, and only Yunzhou and Wuzhou are more important. Yunzhou is the Datong of later generations, and Wuzhou is Zhangjiakou of later generations, which is not only a well-developed town, but also a transportation hub.

Losing these two strategic points, Fengzhou, Dongshengzhou, Yunneizhou, and Tiande armies in the west were also lost, and the southern half of the entire Nanjing Road and Xijing Road was basically lost, and there was no strategic advantage in the face of the Great Song Dynasty, which was the fundamental reason why the Emperor of Jin gritted his teeth and was unwilling to give.

The Jin people can't be persuaded by just what the inherent land is, and they don't know what the inherent land is, what I grab is mine, and if you are powerful, this is their habitual thinking. Hong Tao decided to put it another way and talk about the pros and cons of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun against the Jin Kingdom from the aspect of race.

"It is true that the five states are Han people, but they have been ruled by the Liao State for hundreds of years, and they have long denied the identity of the Han people." Wanyan Ma is quite a rare Confucian general among the Jurchens, he lived in Huanglong Mansion with his uncle since he was a child, and went to school with the children of Khitan nobles.

Khitan people like Xiao Wuna know more about Han culture than Hong Tao, and they can talk about it when they are thrown into the Great Song Dynasty.

"It's their business whether they recognize it or not, but the bloodline is not something that they don't recognize if they want to. When the Wanyan Department unified the Jurchen tribes in Tokyo Province, didn't they also rely on blood connections. Those who admit that the bloodline is willing to submit have stayed, and those who do not admit it have made you click. Lord Mapo, we are all people who understand, so don't bite the fighting machine of chewing words, that will be inferior. Hong Tao stopped his fan and looked south. Today's Jingguan seems to be insufficient, why is it so hot?

"I wonder where these soldiers will come from?" Wan Yan Mapo gritted his teeth, Zhen Nima was shameless, and he made it clear what he could do and couldn't say, and he couldn't talk about it this day.

But there was one thing he felt he should ask about, and it was clear that it was a peace talk, but since the morning, the city has been passing troops, and this is not a clear violation of the armistice.

"Oh, Lord Mapo, don't worry too much, two days ago, more than 10,000 new troops went north from the Daimyo's Mansion. Thanks to the blessings of your lord and the emperor of your country, during the peace talks, he did not cut it off again, so that the emperor of our country freed his hands to deal with those traitors who ate inside and out, and all the troops that were not freed up were sent to this king. ”

This time, Hong Tao didn't say a word of nonsense, it was all the truth. Now Youzhou Road has gathered 30,000 new troops, Wang San is like a dumpling in the Daimyo's Mansion, mixing the new troops from Sichuan and Shaanxi Fourth Road, Huangzhou Province, and Liangzhou Province with the forbidden army she has completed training.

Hong Tao did not refuse to come, and separated the original new army, and then mixed it with the new soldiers, so as to retain some combat effectiveness to the greatest extent. At this time, the advantage of more middle and lower-level military management is reflected, with their command, these recruits dare not say that they will be able to fight a tough battle immediately, but it is absolutely no problem to deal with ordinary battles.

"I wonder where they're going?" Wanyan Mapo really wanted to round up this smiling face, this first-class prince of the Great Song Dynasty not only has no skin, no face, no character and no quality, but also hurts people, squeezes people, and bullies people every day.

"To do the same thing as Wanyanbu, go to the states and ask those Han people, agree with the submission of the bloodline, and click if you don't agree! Don't worry, Lord Mapo, I have already given an order, not to take the initiative to attack the passing soldiers and horses, if you can detour, you can detour, and if you can't detour, you have to politely borrow the road. Before the peace talks are over, whoever provokes a war, I will slaughter him! ”

Hong Tao's answer was very resolute, there was no room for negotiation, and he made a downward cutting motion with his hand, and his determination to maintain the sanctity of the peace talks was very strong.

"Yes...... But we're not done yet, those five states are still gold land! Wan Yan Ma didn't suspect that Wang Shu was pretending to be stupid, but he also had to remind the other party, lest this person really pretend to be stupid.

"Lord Mapo, have you ever heard a sentence from our Han ancestors, which is called this time and that time. When Da Song proposed peace talks, he was really a little busy with internal and external troubles, so he needed to take a breath of relief. Originally, I thought it would take a year or two to postpone, but I didn't expect that Your Majesty was talented and intelligent, and the courtiers also did their best, no, it was done in more than a month. To tell the truth, now this king wants to fight more, but he backtracks because of his bad face. But Lord Mapo always refuses to send the hearts of the defeated every day, and His Majesty is really a little impatient. The ancestors of the Han people also said that the Son of Heaven is angry and floats millions of corpses, this king really does not dare to contradict His Majesty, he can only talk to you while preparing for war. ”

Hong Tao finally stopped shaking the fan so much, got up and moved his waist, walked to the table and picked up the pen, starting from Ruzhou, and drew an arrow along the post road to Wende and Wuzhou. Then from Shuozhou to the north, I also drew an arrow towards Yunzhou, and finally drew a circle on Wuzhou and Yunzhou, but I felt that the circle of Yunzhou was not very bold, and I drew it again, and then put the pen down.

"You, you don't keep your word!" Wan Yan Ma quite understood, and his blood pressure immediately exceeded 200. After talking for a long time, Da Song didn't plan to negotiate the result at all, but just used the peace talks to stabilize the domestic situation, and freed up his hands to clean up the few traitors who hooked up with the Jin State.

If you want to say that you have helped the Great Song Dynasty, if you don't continue to fight through peace talks, presumably those families will not be so easily arrested, and if you can't keep it, you can make some big moves at the border, so that the Great Song Dynasty has no time to take care of it, let alone ask for the land of the five states so strongly.

"Our ancestors of the Han people said that soldiers are not tired of cheating. The two countries are at war, winning is everything, if you can deceive, you can deceive, as long as you can win, I have no opinion on turning out the eight generations of ancestors and exposing them to the sun. However, this king will give you one last chance, and quickly send someone back to ask the emperor of your country, whether the five states will give it or not, go back quickly. ”

There is not much dry goods in these words, the Daimyo Mansion sent reinforcements, but not to attack Wuzhou, but to change the defense normally. The forbidden army originally stationed in Youzhou was replaced by the new army, and as the front line of the anti-Jin resistance, the total strength of Youzhou had to be maintained at least 30,000.

They went north just to Yongxing to keep an eye on the Jin soldiers in Wende and Wuzhou, and there were many people, but in fact there were only twenty battalions, but they brought more than 300 box trucks with baggage, and if they didn't march in a hurry, they couldn't finish walking in a day.
