Across the Water Margin: Officials of Ximen

For this reason, our household department has already accumulated money and food to fill the warehouse, and only waits for His Majesty's order. "

Upon seeing this, Zongze, Shangshu of the Ministry of War, also hurriedly expressed his opinion, saying that the military resources such as weapons, armor, war horses, and warships were sufficient to meet the needs of the Northern Expedition.

The ministers expressed their opinions one after another, and they will perform their duties to ensure the success of the Northern Expedition.

Ximenqing told the officials that a teacher needs to be famous, and first of all, he must rely on intelligence to investigate the cause of his wife and uncle Wanyan Zongfu's death.As long as it is found out that Wanyan Zongfu died at the hands of Wanyan Wu begging his father and son, he can make a northern expedition to the Kingdom of Jin in the name of avenging his wife, uncle and brother.

At the same time, it can also be used to instigate the Jin army in Taiyuan Mansion and make them attack Wanyan Wu begging instead.

……

After discussing with the emperor and his ministers, Ximen Qing decided to seize the opportunity of the civil strife in Jin and take the opportunity to make the Northern Expedition.

To this end, Qi State formulated a preliminary plan.

First of all, by sending envoys and spies to investigate secretly, find out the truth or doubts about the Huining City Incident, and find a name for Qi's Northern Expedition.

Secondly, because Ximenqing has personal friendships with Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Zonghan, Ximenqing will send secret envoys to Daming Mansion, Hezhong Mansion, and Datong Mansion respectively to deal with Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshu Ke and Wanyan set up their goodwill immediately, secretly expressing their support for their position.

Ximenqing's move was of course to strengthen their will to fight against the central government and promote the split of Jin Kingdom.

What's more, the Hexi Corridor has flown a horse to report that Qi Jun is escorting Ximen Qing's wife-in-law, General Wanyan Zongbi of the Kingdom of Jin back to Bianliang City, Tokyo.

Ximenqing was going to entertain his brother-in-law well and use him to control the Jin Army in Taiyuan Mansion.

At the same time, Wanyan Zongbi had entrusted the Qi army to report to Ximenqing with a fast horse. The defeat of Wanyan Loushi's army was caused by Yeluyujian's betrayal.

The reason why Wanyan Zongbi fled westward with more than a hundred remnants of his troops and took a detour southward to Shazhou to defect to Qi State was because the road back to the east was blocked by the Yelu Yujian army occupying Heishui City.

Wanyan Zongbi failed to break through the blockade line of the Yelu Yujian army, and was chased and harassed by the Yelu Yujian army, the Dangxiang tribal army, and soldiers from the Western Regions along the way. In the end, only a hundred or so of the [-] elite soldiers managed to break through to Shasha Under the state city.

After Ximenqing got the information that Yelu Yujian and the Jin army were separated from each other and betrayed Wanyan Lou's army, he temporarily put it on hold for several days, preparing to split the Jin army at a critical moment.

Now in conjunction with the Ningcheng Incident, Ximenqing decided to expose Yelu Yujian's betrayal of the Jin army, and let Yeluyu Jian's party break with the Jin State, causing greater chaos within the Jin State.

Therefore, Ximenqing ordered Ma Zhi to send four envoys to report the betrayal that Yeluyu saw to Huining City, Datong Mansion, Daming Mansion, and Hezhong Mansion respectively, so that all parties could know.

In order to prevent Yelu Yujian's army from being wiped out too quickly by the Jin army, Ximen Qing ordered Lu Xiaoyi and Qiao Yun to arrange northern spies to "unintentionally leak" the news to Yelu Yujian of the Tiande Army.

In this way, the Jurchens of the Jin Kingdom, and the Jurchens and the Khitans will fight together, which will further divide the Jin Kingdom.

At that time, it will be time for Ximen Qing to send his troops northward to reorganize the rivers and mountains!

After the temple made a decision, the important ministers of Qi State immediately acted separately.

Luan Tingyu and Tong Guan collected military information and made a plan for the Northern Expedition together with Emperor Ximenqing.

Zongze, Tang Long, Ling Zhen, and Huangfuduan mobilized and supervised the manufacture of military equipment, and selected and cultivated horses.

Cheng Wanli, Murong Yanda, Qin Hui and others prepared money and food, transported mules, horses, vehicles and boats, and civilian husbands.

On the other hand, Zhao Mingcheng selected talented people and recruited talented people from Hebei, Hedong, and Yanyun scholars living in the south, so as to make a talent reserve for the future rule of the north.

According to Ximenqing's policy, Ma Zhi sent envoys to contact Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Yinshuke, and Wanyan Sheyema respectively, and conveyed Ximenqing's concerns about their personal safety.

In particular, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke, who were close to Qi, were told that Qi would be their strong backing and shelter should things go wrong.

The first thousand and sixty-two chapters Zhang Xiaochun mission

Ximen Qing's strategy had immediate results.

Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu were two of the first few Jurchen nobles who made friends with Ximen Qing, and they had enough trust in Ximen Qing.

As members of the Wanyan family, these two of course never thought of treason and throwing themselves into Ximen Qing's embrace.

However, in the face of Wanyan Zonghan's murder, and the situation that he himself is likely to encounter and be purged, the two generals have to support themselves to protect themselves.

At this time, if his good friend Ximen Qing can provide him with strategic support from the south, the two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu would certainly wish for it.

With Ximenqing's secret promise of help, the two generals Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke gained a bit more confidence, so they continued to support themselves and rejected His Majesty's call to Beijing.

As for the imperial court's intention to send troops to attack Taiyuan Mansion, they ignored it even more.

Although Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshu did not rebel, they basically became independent warlords and were no longer under the control of the Jin court.

Knowing from Ximen Qing that Yelu Yujian had betrayed Wanyan Loushi and Wanyan Zongbi, Wanyan Xiyin and Wanyan Yinshuke were furious, and immediately conducted a controlled interrogation of the suspected Khitan people under their rule.

However, the territory of the second general is now some distance away from Yelu Yujian's army.Now that the situation in the Kingdom of Jin is tense, they can't leave the station to attack Yelu Yujian and avenge Wanyan Loushi.

Hao Bo of Datong Mansion's extremely fierce Wanyan Pu's slave and Wanyan Zonghan's son Wanyan She also saw Qi's secret envoy, but they took the opportunity to go west to conquer Yelu Yujian.

Wanyan Pujianu and Wanyan Sheyema discussed with Qi State's secret envoys, hoping to join forces with Qi State to attack Yelu Yujian's army and capture the Tiande Army, Yunnei Prefecture, Dongsheng Prefecture, and To the west of the Tiande Army, there are places such as Wulahai City and Heishui City in the original Xixia Kingdom.

Wanyan Pujianu and Wanyan Sheyema promised that after defeating Yelu Yujian's army, all the territories captured would be handed over to Qi State for disposal.

The current main enemy of Wanyan Pujianu and Wanyan Sheyema is the Jin Emperor Wanyan Wu Qimai in Huining City. Their purpose is to use the power of the Qi army to destroy the Yelu Yujian army behind them, so as to avoid Enemy from both sides.

Now the land occupied by Yelu Yu Jianjun is the reward given to Qi Guo and Ximen Qing by Wanyan Pujianu and Wanyan Sheyema.

In addition, attacking Yelu Yujian's army had another advantage to Wanyan Pujianu and Wanyan Sheyema in Datong Mansion, that is, it would allow their territories to border on Qi.

In this way, Wanyan Pujia slave and Wanyan Sheyema could get the assistance of Qi State in future wars.

……

In Huining City, the capital of the Kingdom of Jin, Wanyan Wu, who was busy begging to buy his father and son, received news that the envoy of the State of Qi was visiting again because of the disadvantages of the control of the local separatist regime.

After killing Yan Zonghan and his henchmen in the capital, in order not to reveal the secrets of the capital, Wanyan Wu Qimai did not allow Qi State envoy Ma Kuo to enter Huining City, but let Ma Kuo stay in Huining City under the pretext of calming the chaos. Jiangzhou City.

After Wanyan Wu Qimai sent someone to have a hasty meeting with Ma Kuo, he sent Ma Kuo back to Qi with a generous gift.

Unexpectedly, not long after, Qi State sent another envoy!

The person sent by the Qi State this time is Zhang Xiaochun, an old acquaintance of the West Road Jinjun who used to defend Taiyuan City together with Wang Ti.

Zhang Xiaochun was captured by Wanyan Zonghan's army after Taiyuan City was broken, and was escorted back to Datong Mansion and imprisoned.

Later, when the Jin army destroyed the Song Dynasty and supported the establishment of the Chu State, it released a group of Song Dynasty ministers captured in the war.Lu Yihao and others escaped from Jinying at that time.

However, for the stubborn anti-Jin Baosong faction at that time, such as Qin Hui and Zhang Shuye, the Jin army did not intend to return it to the Southern Dynasty.

If it hadn't been for Ximenqing to use his relationship to rescue him, Qin Hui might still be with Zhao Ji, the Hundegong, admiring the snow and practicing calligraphy with him!

When rescuing Qin Hui and his wife, Ximenqing remembered his old friend Wang Chen who died in the battle, so he mentioned Zhang Xiaochun, the prefect of Taiyuan Prefecture, and hoped that Wanyan Zonghan could release him.
