Fan Yongji's original name Boshulu Jiuzhu, a Khitan, a general of the Jin Dynasty, and was in the border between Jin and Song dynasty for many years. When the Jin Dynasty was destroyed, he led his army to surrender to Zhao Fan, and was protected by Zhao Fan. He became the Grand Marshal in the Song court, changed his name to the Han Dynasty, and guarded the vast ground north of Xiangyang.

Zhao Fan died of illness soon afterwards. Fan Yongji, who was originally a surrendered general, suddenly lost his backer. He went far in the Song court where the bureaucrats were rampant. Not long after, someone impeached him, saying that he had done illegal acts, and the court had signs of adjusting defense and depriving military power.

Military power is the root of people like Fan Yongji. If you don’t have soldiers at hand, you may die on the streets at any time. Fan Yongji can move around on the battlefield with mountains of corpses and blood. How can a smart and powerful person wait for death?

He twisted his neck and surrendered to the Great Mongolian Kingdom. He also brought the territory of Junzhou and exposed the Great Song Dynasty's Xiangyang Jingxiang to the Mongols' blade.

From one aspect, it was Fan Yongji who made the famous generals of Meng Gong a generation. The Mongols marched south from Fan Yongji's territory and rushed straight to the south of the Yangtze River. Meng Gong stood out in the battle of Huangzhou and made a name for himself. He fought against thousands of jin and blocked the arrogant Mongolian soldiers north of the Yangtze River.

The Mongolians did not seek a big advantage and returned in disappointment. When they left, they naturally took away their troops and threw the huge Henan to Fan Yongji.

In this way, Fan Yongji was like an abandoned orphan, and he didn't care about both sides. The Mongolians just came to fight for Qiufeng's looting and remembered him and said hello to him. They didn't care about it on weekdays, and even paid no money. They made some demands from time to time, asking for money, food and people, and treat Fan Yongji as an inexhaustible treasure pot.

Even the most obedient person will get angry if he goes like this.

So Fan Yongji remembered the goodness of the Song court again, and Meng Gong's majesty made him admire him. So he thought about it and thought that it would be good to defect to the Song Dynasty and cover the sun under Meng Gong's hands.

This idea came up with the later letter. It was this letter that ruined Meng Gong's future for life. Meng Gong took it to Beijing to ask for a meeting with Lizong, hoping to recruit Fan Yongji, but was ruthlessly rejected by Lizong and seized Meng Gong's official position.

Fan Yongji was already disheartened when he heard the news.

Think about it, that's right. How come people who are repeatedly reciprocated can still be liked by others?

However, he did not expect that at the end of his life, Jia Sidao, the newly appointed Jinghu Commander, replied a letter enthusiastically.

This young official, who heard that he had a lot of knowledge in the Song Dynasty, talked about writing a long story and used a few pages to express his meaning: You are very good, I admire you very much, and I decided to accept you as my younger brother.

Fan Yongji could hardly believe that this man trusted me so much?

It seems that I have never even met him.

After walking around the study for a few times, Fan Yongji decided to give it a try. He also wrote a letter to Jia Sidao and made some requests, which was nothing more than winter and spring, and what to eat, clothing and use. If you are with you, you can't let my people be hungry and freeze.

Jia Sidao was very straightforward and immediately agreed, with only one condition: to let the officials of the Song Dynasty go to Fan Yongji's territory to be civil officials and manage civil affairs.

As for military affairs, Jia Sidao did not ask too much, but just asked Fan Yongji to write a copy of the Jinghu Control and Inspectorate.

Such conditions almost made Fan Yongji unbelievable.

Civil Affairs? I'm so happy. Those ordinary people are hungry and screaming. I'm having a headache. If you want it, I'll take care of it. I can't ask for it!

And military and political affairs are the lifeblood, and you can't even give it to you. After all, there are so many lessons in front of you. How can I survive without soldiers? If you don't make any requests, that would be great.

Fan Yongji had almost no thought about Jia Sidao's conditions and immediately agreed. The two sides hit it off and immediately agreed on everything that the two sides had to contact.

So he chose a zodiac auspicious day. Fan Yongji and the officials from Junzhou held a grand surrender ceremony on the edge of a city between Xiangyang and Junzhou. Fan Yongji dressed in white clothes and presented the map of Junzhou to the orthodox Song Dynasty, and surrendered to the surrender.

This trick was played once when Zhao Fan was in the past. It was not new, but it was different when it fell into Jia Sidao's hands.

He passed a letter from Pegasus 800 miles away, and used an article about Huatuan Jinsheng to describe Fan Yongji's surrender as he led the troops from Jinghu and forced him to go deep into the enemy territory within a few days, forcing Fan Yongji to resist, so he had to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

The same thing falls on different people, and it will be a different ending.

Meng Gong just took Fan Yongji's letter and expressed his opinion to Li Zong. He was ruthlessly scolded and lost his reputation for half his life.

Jia Sidao not only expressed his opinions, but also took action first and then reported it, and then reported it after being surrendered. Logically speaking, what he did and what he did before and after doing things was really too high compared to Meng Gong.

If we follow the treatment and standards that Meng Gong received, Jia Sidao should be demoted and sent to Dali Temple.

Many people think so.

But the development of facts is surprising.

Li Zong personally issued an edict to praise Jia Sidao for being decisive, decisive, able to seize the opportunity and act resolutely, having the style of a general and a famous general. It is rare for the country to have such talents.

The Privy Council and the Secretariat issued documents to send people to allocate money and grain, and gave whatever Jia Sidao wanted, giving and wishing.

The huge difference in handling style makes people who are familiar with the causes and consequences of the whole thing unable to understand it. Finally, they can only sigh and shake their heads.

In fact, it will be understood in the eyes of smart people.

To put it bluntly, Meng Gong is a warrior and a warlord.

Jia Sidao is a civil servant and a reliable person.

The former can only be used, not to be big.

The latter is worth cultivating and should be encouraged and supported.

This is the source of the difference.

Of course, the interests and relationships that flash behind Jia Sidao are of great effect, but the most fundamental thing is the reason mentioned above.

Therefore, even if Jia Sidao made a move with Lizong and the central bosses, which even seriously violated the original intention of the Song court, and it was possible to provoke the beginning of the war with the north, Lizong and his group of bigwigs would also acknowledge it.

Besides, this is not a big deal, but I have accepted a surrendered general and obtained some land.

If the North launches a military force to punish, at most, it will be fine to push people out and cut them down and return the land.

Oh, you can pay at most some annual monies. It’s okay, the Song Dynasty has money.

This is how this matter was handled.

Officials sent by Jia Sidao began to settle in various yamen in Henan Province, Great Mongolia. The flags of the Song Dynasty began to fly high in the city heads of various places, and the heartland of the Central Plains of China. Many people even found it strange to have the office of the Song Dynasty.

Many times, the Song court's cavalry began to appear around Bianliang, and there were many spies from the Song people in Luoyang. They regained the two capitals and brought them back to the desk of the imperial table in front of Lizong.

Everything went smoothly. I expected the counterattack from the north and the Central and North sides to come as scheduled in two months, and it seemed that the Mongolians did not take this place seriously.

Sichuan suffered some twists and turns due to the recovery of Hanzhong, but it did not affect the overall situation.

Very smooth.

From top to bottom, I think so.

Only Changsun Hong, who was running along the Yinping Trail and standing under Hanzhong City, was extremely nervous.

He looked at the head of Hanzhong City covered by beacon fire and smoke. His two thick eyebrows were locked in one place and could not be unfolded for a long time.

Having written this, the first volume of this book has ended.

The next volume, "Layout the World" will be a magnificent volume. The head-on confrontation between Changsun Hong and Kublai Khan will be staged repeatedly, history will be overturned, and characters will be reversed, and everything will become fierce.
