Hundreds of thousands of Tokyo people shouted slogans, resolutely opposing the shameless demands of the Jin people, strongly opposing the submission of the imperial court to the Jin people, and demanding the reuse of Li Yanqing as the anti-Jin commander.

At the front of the crowd were tens of thousands of Tai students, led by more than a dozen Tai student leaders, and the leader was Chen Dong.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Huan was trying to persuade the students to disperse, "Please rest assured, Li Yanqing is the mainstay of the Great Song Dynasty, and the imperial court will never succumb to the pressure of the Jin people, and will definitely continue to reuse him, please believe me!" ”

Chen Dong bowed and said: "We believe that His Royal Highness the Crown Prince is standing with us, but many times, the Crown Prince cannot change the decision of the official family, and we hope that the official family can give us a promise in writing!" ”

As soon as he finished speaking, hundreds of thousands of students and people behind him suddenly shouted, "Oppose the shameless demands of the Jin people!" ”

The momentum was like a tide, so that the crown prince Zhao Huan was shocked and changed color, as soon as he looked up, he saw that his father had appeared upstairs in Xuande under the escort of a large group of guards, Zhao Heng hurriedly ran upstairs, at this time, Zhao Ji's face was pale, he really didn't expect Li Yanqing to be so popular, and even surpassed himself, which made Zhao Ji's eyes flash a trace of anger.

At this time, the crown prince Zhao Huan ran up, bowed down and said, "See my father!" ”

"Why haven't they withdrawn yet? How did I explain it to you? Zhao Ji was extremely dissatisfied.

"Qi Father, the sons repeatedly told them that the imperial court would never hand over Li Yanqing to the Jin people, but they hoped that their father would make a written decree and announce it, and they would disperse."

Zhao Ji was suddenly furious, "In their hearts, is Li Yanqing more important than me?" ”

Zhao Ji couldn't bear the anger in his heart, brushed his sleeves and left, Zhao Huan froze there, his face was full of bitterness, at this time, Wu Min walked over slowly in the middle of the matter, and persuaded in a low voice: "Your Highness doesn't have to worry, the official family is just angry for a while, and he will give an order soon." ”

Zhao Huan let out a long sigh, "The public opinion is terrifying!" ”

Wu Min smiled slightly, "But public opinion is also the best weapon, isn't it?" ”

After speaking, he glanced at Zhao Huan meaningfully, turned around and left, but Zhao Huan fell into deep thought, Wu Min's words made him remember for a long time.

In late August of the sixth year of Xuanhe, after five days of negotiations, the two countries finally reached an agreement on an armistice and reconciliation agreement, and the Song Dynasty fully accepted a series of demands put forward by Jin Bing in addition to handing over Li Yanqing, ceded Yanshan Mansion and Zhending Mansion, compensated Jin State for military expenses of 500,000 taels of gold, and sent the fifth son of Su Wang Zhao Shu to Yanshan as a hostage, increasing the annual silver to 3 million taels and 1.5 million horses of silk.

At the end of August, the Jin soldiers officially withdrew their troops from Hebei and Hedong, and hundreds of thousands of people who had taken refuge in the mountains began to return home one after another.

At the head of Taiyuan City, Li Yanqing stared at the empty Jin soldier camp in the distance, the Jin soldiers began to withdraw last night, and by dawn they had all withdrawn, Li Yanqing sent dozens of scouts to investigate the enemy.

Although Li Yanqing knew that the reason for the Jin soldiers' retreat to the north was that the Song and Jin countries had reached a compromise, after nearly two months of campaigning, Li Yanqing already knew the Jin soldiers' combat style very well.

Jin Bing is good at deception, it is possible that they are only nominally withdrawing the army, when they relax their vigilance and open the city gate, Jin Bing is likely to kill a horse gun, it is the understanding of Jin Bing that makes Li Yanqing dare not be careless, he will only really open the city gate if he is sure that Jin Bing will withdraw from Yanmen Pass.

"What are you worried about?" Han Shizhong slowly walked to Li Yanqing's side and asked.

"I'm worried about the capital!"

A trace of worry flashed in Li Yanqing's eyes, history or in the details have changed a lot, but the general trend has not changed, now it is autumn, and winter will come in a few months, once the Yellow River freezes, the Jin soldiers will inevitably go south again, can the capital be held at that time? Can the shame of Jingkang be avoided?

Li Yanqing is full of confidence in himself, but the problem he faces is that he lacks skills.

"Do you think that the golden soldiers will come again in winter?"

Li Yanqing nodded, "The wolf lord of the Jin Kingdom is sitting in Yanjing Mansion, just to attack the Song Dynasty with all his might, and the war at the end of the year cannot be avoided." ”

Han Shizhong was also silent, and after a moment, he said in a low voice: "I heard that the peace talks offered by the Jin State were conditional on handing over the capital to the Jin State for disposal, but the imperial court resisted the pressure. ”

"The imperial court actually didn't resist the pressure!"

Li Yanqing smiled faintly, "Jin Guo didn't expect the imperial court to hand me over, I hold military power in Taiyuan, how can I hand me over?" Jin Guo just wants to transfer me out of Taiyuan, and I guess if I am not mistaken, the imperial court has already agreed to Jin Guo. ”

Han Shizhong was taken aback, "If you really transfer Li Dutong away, what should you do in Taiyuan?" ”

Li Yanqing sighed softly, "Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs?" If the capital can't be saved, Taiyuan can't be saved, and from tomorrow, I will evacuate the people of Taiyuan to the south. ”

Han Shizhong nodded silently, he understood Li Yanqing's worries, in Li Yanqing's heart, the capital was more important than Taiyuan.

"What does that require me to do?"

Li Yanqing smiled slightly, "Your task is very heavy, but the most important point is that you have to train the 30,000 people in Taiyuan City in just a few months and become an army that can go to the city to fight." ”

"Ignorance, understood!"

...........

Two days later, the Yanbei scouts came with the news that all the Jin soldiers had withdrawn from Yanmen Pass, but the two thousand Jin soldiers occupied Yanmen Pass, and the mound pass in the west was also controlled by the Jin soldiers, that is, although the Jin soldiers retreated north, they did not really go far.

At this time, Li Yanqing issued a mobilization order to evacuate southward, mobilizing the people of Taiyuan City to evacuate in the direction of Jingzhao Mansion, and he wrote to Chongshi Dao and Jingzhao Mansion at the same time, requesting that Chongshi Dao and Jingzhao Mansion make every effort to resettle these fugitives who were evacuated from Hedong to Guanzhong.

Although not all people are willing to leave their hometowns, there are still hundreds of thousands of people who responded to Li Yanqing's call and began to move their families to the south.

The team was also mixed with a lot of donkey carts and ox carts, these were slightly wealthy families with more goods, which meant that even if they went to Jingzhao, they could live a slightly decent life.

The army escorting hundreds of thousands of people to the south was the 20,000 new army led by Wang Gui and Cao Meng, these 20,000 new troops were the long-term garrison soldiers of Jingzhao Mansion, and the army raised by Li Yanqing himself, after rigorous training and the test of blood and fire, they have gradually become an elite army.

In front of the gate of the southern city, Li Yanqing instructed the new army to command Wang Gui and Cao Meng left and right: "I will hand over this army to you, after sending the people to Guanzhong, you will be stationed in Shaanzhou, once you hear the news of the Jin soldiers marching south, you will immediately go to Hanguguan to march to the capital, and wait for my order near the capital." ”

The two bowed down and said, "Obey the order!" ”

"Go ahead! Restrain military discipline along the way, and try to help the people who retreat south. ”

Wang Gui and Cao Meng saluted and led the army to leave Taiyuan and go south, and the female barracks under the command of Hu Sanniang also followed the new army south.

Li Yanqing summoned Yan Qing again and whispered to him: "You lead three hundred brothers to hide in the territory of the Daimyo's Mansion, before the Jin soldiers go south again, if I am escorted to Yanjing by the imperial court, you can rob him halfway!" ”

Yan Qing was taken aback, "Will the imperial court do this?" ”

Li Yanqing shook his head, "It's not very likely, but I have to arrange every detail, and I can't afford any negligence." ”

"I understand the lowly position, so I will lead the brothers to the Daimyo's mansion."

．．．．．．．

A month later, a team of proclamators escorted Kaifeng Mansion Yin Wang Ding to Taiyuan City, proclamation officials read out the holy decree to Li Yanqing, Li Yanqing defended Taiyuan has a great contribution to Sheji, bestowed the title of Tangyin County Founding County Prince, and crowned the Golden Purple Guanglu Doctor, Baohe Hall Scholar, led Kaifeng Mansion Yin, and all the generals under his command were promoted to a higher level, and the reward was millions of dollars for the three armies.

The official who succeeded Li Yanqing was Yin Wangding, the former Kaifeng Prefecture, who was reappointed as the Hedong Transit Envoy and Taiyuan Tongzhi, and was fully responsible for the defense of Taiyuan.

This result was expected by Li Yanqing, and this should be the secret agreement reached between the Song Dynasty and the Jin State to transfer himself out of Taiyuan and deprive him of all military power by promoting him to the rank of knight.

But for Li Yanqing, this is the result he wants to see, between the capital and Taiyuan Mansion, he finally chose the capital.

.........

After handling the handover with Wang Ding, Li Yanqing left Taiyuan under the escort of 100 personal soldiers, and when he went out of the city, hundreds of thousands of Taiyuan people went out of the city to bid farewell to Li Yanqing, although Li Yanqing violated the vital interests of many Taiyuan people in the resettlement of refugees and demolished the residents along the city wall, so that many Taiyuan people were dissatisfied with him, but every Taiyuan people were sincerely grateful to him, and under his leadership, the Taiyuan defenders resisted the tragic siege of more than 100,000 Jin soldiers, and Taiyuan did not fall as quickly as the prefectures and counties of Hebei.

Looking at the black and oppressive farewell people in the distance, Li Yanqing kept turning his head and waving his hand, his heart was full of guilt and sadness, he could actually use the retention of the Taiyuan army and people as an excuse to continue to stay in Taiyuan, but another heavier historical responsibility forced him to harden his heart and bid farewell to the Taiyuan people who had placed great hopes on him.

It's early October, and time is running out for him.
