Reborn in Liangshan: I built the strongest lineup

Of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty, three were captured!

Tokyo, Chukyo, Nanjing! They've all fallen into the hands of a group called "Dayi"!

The ruler of the North has changed! The new ruler of Dayi is none other than Ren Yuan, the former ruler of Liangshan!

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun were returned to the hands of the Han people!

……

Shortly after the capture of Nanjing, all sorts of news swept across the former Song and Liao territories like a whirlwind!

Especially in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yan and Yun, every household felt incredulous upon hearing this news!

Is it true? Yan and Yun have returned to Han Chinese hands?

Are they no longer rootless people?

"Of course it's true! Haven't you noticed? Troops are already stationed in various cities, and the Liao people have been abandoning cities one after another!"

"That's right, fellow countrymen! The Liao Kingdom has now fallen, and Yanyun has returned to the embrace of the Han people! From now on, you are all citizens of Dayi!"

The Sky Curtain Army is the busiest right now, because they are relaying messages throughout the entire territory under the jurisdiction of these three capitals! Moreover, Ren Yuan's orders are to ensure that all the people in the territory know about this message!

When they relayed the news to Huanhan Village, the elderly men who had spoken with Ren Yuan burst into tears!

"Old man, the prince asked us to tell you that he promised you that Yanyun would be returned, and he kept his word! However, since Nanjing has just been recovered, the prince still has many things to do, otherwise he would have come to tell you this good news in person."

Upon hearing this, the elderly men were so excited that their hands trembled uncontrollably!

"For so many years, I have been dreaming of returning to the Central Plains. When the prince told me that the other day, I thought I would have to wait a few more years. I didn't expect it to be so soon!"

"If only Your Highness had come sooner!"

"Young man, go back and tell the Prince that everyone in Han Village will erect a longevity tablet for him! We hope the Prince will ascend to the throne soon!"

It's not just Huanhan Village that wants to erect a memorial tablet for Ren Yuan; all the prefectures of Yanyun now worship Ren Yuan as their lord and are willing to die for the Great Benefit!

The people's hearts are worth supporting! The people's hearts are truly worth supporting!

……

"What? The Dayi Kingdom has already conquered the Liao Kingdom's capitals of Tokyo, Zhongjing, and Nanjing? And reclaimed Yan and Yun?"

Near Hubudagang, Wanyan Aguda looked on in disbelief!

In his mind, his Jin dynasty should have marched south, sweeping all before it could conquer the Liao dynasty.

But who would have thought that Wuyan Guang, who occupied Xijing, would personally lead a large army to guard Hubudagang and fight the Jin army to a standstill here!

"Is Wuyan Guang stupid?! Why is he fighting us? Three of the Five Capitals have been defeated and lost! He's a complete pig!"

Wanyan Wuqimai was also very unhappy. The rise of the Jin Dynasty had been going smoothly. After taking Huanglongfu, they even thought they could completely take over the entire north.

But who could have imagined that at the most crucial moment, Wuyan Guang, who had been ordered to retreat twelve times, would actually rebel on his own initiative, establish the Western Liao, and block the Jin army's southward advance at Hubudagang!

"Is it possible that the Liao royal family also gave him Linhuang Prefecture, so he could be here specifically to block us?"

Wanyan Xie also expressed his opinion.

Believe it or not, this is actually quite possible. After all, Yelü Chun wasn't stupid. After the rise of the Jin Dynasty, Beijing Linhuang Prefecture, one of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty, was also close to the Jin Dynasty. Giving this place to Wuyan Guang would at least allow him to serve as the first line of defense for Zhongjing!

Moreover, the Western Liao is still Liao; even if the bones are broken, the tendons are still connected, so this deal is not a loss.

Unfortunately, they did not expect that the mysterious Dayi would break through the three capitals at an even faster pace, leaving the Liao Kingdom with only the Western Liao!

"Let's negotiate. Continuing to fight will not benefit either of us."

Wanyan Aguda made a decision: between nations, there are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests. Now, Dayi has taken over the three capitals of Liao, and it is said that it has even conquered the entire Goryeo territory! In addition, it is said that they were originally from Song, and they must still have territory within the former Zhao Song territory!

With such formidable strength, they are undoubtedly the current kings of the North!

If the Jin and Liao continue fighting like this, they will eventually reap the benefits!

"Brother, should we ally with Liao against Yi? Would Wuyan Guang agree?"

“He has no choice but to agree, otherwise his Liao Kingdom will be the first to be destroyed.”

Wanyan Aguda said to Wanyan Xieye:

"Fifth brother, I'm leaving this matter to you."

"Rest assured, Your Majesty, I will certainly live up to your mission."

Wanyan Xie also said that there was no problem, and he was willing to try anything that would benefit the Jin state.

“Let Ninth Brother go with you. Wuyan Guang is a highly skilled martial artist. Although he is not the type to use underhanded tactics, there may be some of his subordinates who do not follow the rules.”

"Rest assured, Your Majesty! Your younger brother and Ninth Brother will certainly not let you down!"

……

"Rebellious ministers and traitors! Rebellious ministers and traitors!"

In the temporary court of the Western Song Dynasty in Jingzhao Prefecture, Yongxing Army Road, Emperor Huizong of Song was displaying an impotent rage, smashing many things to vent his dissatisfaction!

"Ren Yuan! Ren Yuan! How could it be Ren Yuan! Wasn't he just a lowly Liangshan bandit? How could he now be the Lord of Dayi? How could he have captured the Three Capitals from the Liao people and reclaimed Yan and Yun?!"

"Cai Jing is a traitor! I never expected Tong Guan to be one too! He actually led 100,000 troops to defect to Ren Yuan! I was truly blind back then! That's why I let Tong Guan continue to lead the attack on Nanjing!"

Emperor Huizong never imagined that the Liangshan bandits, whom he had once considered insignificant, would now possess such strength!

What he didn't expect was that his beloved minister, Tong Aiqing, would surrender to Ren Yuan with his troops at this crucial moment!

"Your Majesty, please calm down. Tong Guan is indeed a despicable person. It's one thing that he didn't come to your rescue, but his direct surrender is truly despicable."

Yang Jian knew that at this moment, Zhao Ji was like a donkey that needed to be stroked; he absolutely could not contradict him and had to say things that he wanted to hear.

"Ootomo is right! He understands me best!"

Emperor Huizong was immediately thrilled; he felt he had found a kindred spirit!

"Daban, tell me, shouldn't I issue a proclamation to the world now, calling on everyone to condemn Ren Yuan, this traitorous minister, and to unite in his condemnation!"

Uh… Yang Jian was momentarily at a loss for words. No, Your Majesty, please use your brain! Ren Yuan just reclaimed Yan Yun! This is the dream of countless Han people! How high is Ren Yuan's reputation among the Han people right now? By posting this now, aren't you just asking for trouble?

"Your Majesty, it is inappropriate to issue this document at this time."

Yang Jian thought for a moment, gritted his teeth, and still gave the answer that displeased Zhao Ji.

"What's wrong with it?!"

Emperor Huizong's face immediately turned ugly.

"Your Majesty, we have finally returned to Yanyun, and Ren Yuan is currently riding high. If we issue an edict now, it will have no effect."

Yang Jian answered seriously.

"Hmph! What can I do then? Am I just going to watch this traitor get away with it?"

Emperor Huizong's face was extremely ugly!

"I don't care! I'm going to punish him!"

"Your Majesty, how about this? Ren Yuan hasn't declared himself emperor yet. Let's say that since he's taken back Yan and Yun, he should guard them well for the Song Dynasty!"

"His Majesty pardoned his past crimes as a bandit, bestowed upon him the title of Prince of Zhenbei, and appointed him to guard Yanyun, resist the Liao Kingdom in the north, and launch a southern campaign against Cai Jing!"

"Isn't he supposed to be a great fighter? Let him face multiple enemies at once and see how that goes!"
