Spoiling History: Starting from the Three Kingdoms

In the inner hall of Bianliang Palace.

Although Zhao Kuangyin criticized the Southern Song Dynasty a lot and looked down upon Zhao Gou and Qin Zong in every possible way, seeing that the Southern Song Dynasty finally no longer had to escape blindly but successfully raised the banner of the Northern Expedition, he could not help but feel shaken.

Whether it was Han Shizhong's skillful use of troops, Wu Jie's steady defense, or Yue Fei's careful management and training of troops to go north, Zhao Kuangyin nodded repeatedly.

Although Zhang Jun's defeat was ugly, from the fact that he was able to defeat the Jinlu's elite soldiers, we can also know that thieves and prisoners are also ordinary people, and they are not invincible.

This also made Zhao Kuangyin even more angry with Zhao Gou:

All the generals are capable of fighting, and there is a blood feud between the army and the people. Under such circumstances, one can only use his merit to accumulate strength, and only wait for the Northern Expedition to avenge his humiliation.

But...how did I meet such a shameless person?

Especially after seeing the rift between Yue Fei and Zhao Gou, he sighed helplessly:

"Yue Fei is dead."

The words were simple, but there was also a hint of sadness in this palace, causing Liu Han to slightly raise his voice and ask:

"This Yue Fei knows how to fight and is able to govern the place. He has the temperament of a famous general in his advance and retreat. How can he be defeated?"

Zhao Kuangyin did not answer, but shook his head slightly and still sighed with emotion.

Seeing Liu Han's dissatisfaction with Shang Yao Feng Yu, Zhao Pu had no choice but to stand up and explain:

"What the officials said was not that Yue Fei would be defeated by the Jinlu. I'm afraid they thought that Zhao Gou wanted to attack Yue Fei."

So Liu Han's face suddenly became horrified, but thinking about it carefully, it didn't seem impossible.

This light curtain said that the unofficial historian heard that Zhao Gou was frightened by the Jin soldiers when he was searching for mountains and seas. This rumor may be false, but it should be true that Zhao Gou had no heirs after that.

As the emperor, if he cuts off his heirs, he is no different from being a useless person. From this, it can be inferred that the establishment of an heir must be based on the establishment of collateral lines, which of course Zhao Gou would not like.

Liu Han was a doctor, and he had personally seen many people with physical disabilities or serious illnesses behaving erratically. Zhao Gou could not say that this was also the case.

Liu Han sorted out the complicated thoughts in an instant, and then fell silent.

"My opinion...it's difficult to calm down."

Zhao Kuangyin sighed and vaguely understood why later generations would hate Wanyan Gou.

To be honest, when he heard this, he wanted to go under the light curtain and give Zhao Gou two big slaps to wake him up... but he could only stop thinking about this step.

[During the invasion of the Song Dynasty, the power center of the Jin Kingdom had three chariots: Wanyan Zonghan, Wanyan Zongbi, and Wanyanchang.

Among them, Wanyan Zonghan took the lead in destroying the Liao Dynasty and conquering the Song Dynasty, and he was considered to have great power, and Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) was also the vanguard under his command.

Wan Yanchang's identity was even more special. He was a famous Pokémon master among the top brass of the Jin Kingdom at that time.

Whether it was using a large number of Khitans and Han people as grassroots officials to maintain the stability of the rule, or supporting the puppet Qi regime and letting Han people fight Han people, it was all done by Wan Yanchang.

This is actually the different routes of the two sides.

Wanyan Zongbi believed that if he did it, it would be over. He believed that as long as Zhao Gou's head was twisted off, the Song Dynasty would naturally collapse and fall apart. He belonged to the iron-blooded war sect.

Wan Yanchang was worried about the endless Han uprisings in Hebei, and hoped to use peace negotiations to dispel the Han people's will to resist and stabilize the existing basic base. Therefore, he became a peace advocate in the Jin Kingdom.

Wanyan Zongbi's failure to search mountains and seas frustrated the main war faction, so Wanyanchang quickly exerted his efforts and released his good dog Qin Hui back to the Southern Song Dynasty to convey his intention to negotiate peace with Zhao Gou.

This kind of news can be said to be exactly what Zhao Gou wanted, and it is also one of the main reasons why Qin Hui was able to quickly rise to a high position.

The peace agreement was finally implemented mainly because of the power reshuffle at the top of the Jin Kingdom.

Jin Taizong died of illness shortly after Yue Fei's third Northern Expedition. In the following two years, Wanyan Zongfu, Wanyan Zonghan and other leaders of the main war faction died of illness one after another. Wanyanchang was in power and quickly finalized peace talks with the Southern Song Dynasty, which was known in history as the Heavenly Peace.

The content of the peace treaty was also simple. The Southern Song Dynasty proclaimed itself a vassal to the Jin Dynasty and paid an annual tribute of 250,000 silver and silk. In addition, the Jin Kingdom ceded Henan, Shaanxi and other places to the Song Dynasty. In addition, the coffins of Empress Wei and Emperor Huizong were returned to the Song Dynasty.

For Zhao Goulai, such conditions are naturally favorable, and the recovery of Henan, Shaanxi and other places through peace talks is enough for him to make a big splash.

Therefore, even if the Jin Dynasty contemptuously called the Northern Song Dynasty "Jiangnan", called the peace agreement an imperial edict, and explicitly required Song ministers and Zhao Gou to kneel down and greet Jin envoys wherever they went, Zhao Gou was still very happy.

It can only be said that it was fortunate that some ministers wanted to show respect at that time, but after mediation, Zhao Gou used Huizong's death as an excuse to stay in mourning to avoid him, and ordered Qin Hui to kneel down and worship the golden envoy on his behalf, and the Heavenly Family Peace Agreement was reached.

Comparatively speaking, the reputation of this peace negotiation is not great, because neither the Jin nor the Song Dynasty were satisfied with the peace negotiation.

Yue Fei said, "The name and the land belong to me, and the truth is sent to me."

From this point of view, Yue Fei has a very clear understanding of war. Just like "what you can't get on the battlefield, you can't get at the negotiation table" in modern warfare, his understanding of war is quite good.

Wanyan Zongbi (Jin Wushu) was even more decisive. Half a year later, he launched a violent coup and directly physically destroyed Wanyanchang's faction. A year later (1139), after preparations were completed, he directly tore up the peace agreement and went south again.

At this time, it had been exactly ten years since Yue Fei and Han Shizhong worked together to defeat Huang Tiandang and Niutoushan.

For Jin Wushu, a famous general of the Jin Kingdom, this was undoubtedly an opportunity to avenge his past humiliation.

For Yue Pengju, who is determined to regain the rivers and mountains, this is also an opportunity that cannot be failed.

The invasion from the south was coming with ferocity, and the expedition from the north to collect gold was determined to be successful.

The two famous generals of Song and Jin during this period were finally going to compete head-on on the battlefield. 】

Li Shimin nodded in appreciation of later Napin's words on battlefields and negotiations:

"Don't say that this is how it is between countries and people on the battlefield."

"Just like the Song and Jin Dynasties, without the merits of generals Yue, Han, and Wu, why would the Jin people have peace talks?"

"But there are already such brave generals, why do the people of Song Dynasty need to negotiate for peace?"

Li Jing nodded heavily and said:

"This principle is quite simple. The Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed because it couldn't figure out such a simple principle."

So Pei Xingjian simply raised his head and asked:

"Master, in this country of Jin, is it wiser to fight for war, or to fight for peace?"

"I am the master of peace." Li Jing said without hesitation:

"The Jin people still need Khitan and Han people to serve as officials, which shows that the manpower is scarce. Therefore, in terms of national strength alone, Jin is weak and Song is strong. If you want to conquer it, you can only win quickly."

"If you want to win quickly, the right time, right place, right people, and the right people are indispensable. Let's talk about these three in keeping the promise."

Pei Xingjian didn't refuse, or he wanted to discuss military and political history like this, so he looked up at the map and thought while saying:

"When marching from north to south, the flat land is approaching. The south is mountainous and has many rivers, making it difficult for fine cavalry to be used, so it is said that the time has been lost."

"The greatest convenience of going south is grain and grass. It can be transported by land instead of water, and the loss of land transportation is only 10% of the land transportation. However, the Yellow River is cut off to seize the Si River and the Huaihe River, and it is difficult to use water transportation for thousands of miles, so it is said to be a loss of land."

"As for the peace agreement, although it is despicable, the golden man signed it first and then violated it. He has lost peace."
