"Immediately send an order for our troops to return to the court." Wanyan Zongbi said.

"But in this situation, the Song army has changed, how can they return to the court casually?"

Wanyan Xiyin said.

"I still don't know what's going on in Shangjing. I'm still fighting bloody battles here, but don't let others take over the capital at that time. Then what's the point of our army's conquest here?"

Wanyan Zongbi said in a loud voice.

"It's just that the three armies of the Song Army are all at the same time. If our army wants to withdraw at this time, it may not be so easy."

Wanyan Xiyin said softly.

"Because the news has not yet reached the Song Dynasty, the withdrawal of the troops now will save some losses. If the Song Dynasty emperor also gets the news, there is no guarantee that he will not bite us, and it will be even more troublesome then."

Wanyan Zongbi said.

"It's just that maybe Song Jun has already got the news."

Wanyan Xiyin said softly.

Wanyan Zongbi was taken aback when he heard what Wanyan Xiyin said.

Wanyan Xiyin went on to say:

"If Song Jun hadn't gotten the news, why would he suddenly send troops north?"

Wanyan Zongbi narrowed his eyes slightly, this possibility is not impossible.

"You have to be careful about withdrawing troops. Don't let the Song army find any flaws. You still have to think of a perfect plan."

Wanyan Zongbi said softly.

Soon, the Jin army made the decision to return to the imperial court, and the new king succeeded to the throne. These generals didn't necessarily care about who would be the next emperor, but probably cared more about how to divide up the new land's profit cake.

Since there is no way to fight the Song Army now, it is also impossible to directly give the Song Army the Youyun area that it has obtained.

Wanyan Zongbi decided to foster a puppet emperor in this northern region.

In fact, Yan Zongbi had already used this move once.

Just like Zhang Bangchang.

It's just that Zhang Bangchang is too good-for-nothing, and he died within two days.

So this time we have to support a powerful character.

Wanyan Zongbi's strategy of establishing a puppet regime was generally recognized by Wanyan Xiyin and others, so everyone began to look for a suitable candidate for the puppet regime.

Soon, Wanyan Zongbi found a suitable candidate——Liu Yu.

Liu Yu, courtesy name Yanyou, was born in Fucheng, Yongjing Army, and was a Jinshi in the Yuanfu period.

When Zhao Ji was the emperor, he served as a criminal officer on the West Hebei Road and paid homage to the prefect of Jinan. Later, when the Jin soldiers went south, Liu Yu saw the chaos in the north and planned to flee to the south of the Yangtze River to become an official, but was rejected by the consul.

Liu Yu then killed the brave general Guan Sheng in Jinan City when the Jin army besieged the city and surrendered to the Jin army. Liu Yu can be regarded as a relatively high-level person among the Song people who surrendered to the Jin country.

But Liu Yu is a literati, and to be honest, he is not very valued among the Jin Kingdom on horseback. This time, he heard that the Jin Kingdom is preparing to establish a puppet regime emperor, so he came to Wanyan Zongbi to win this position. .

Liu Yu knew that Wanyan Zongbi always liked beautiful women, so he specially bought two young girls who hadn't yet passed away from the dealer, and gave them to Wanyan Zongbi.

After Wanyan Zongbi saw it, he was really happy, so he received Liu Yu.

"General, I heard that my Dajin Kingdom wants to establish a puppet Qi, and Liu is not talented, so I came here to recommend myself to you, General."

Liu Yu said to Wanyan Zongbi.

Wanyan Zongbi looked at Liu Yu in front of him, and said to himself that few Song people wanted to do such a thing of being poked in the back, and Jin Guo was worried that he could not find a suitable candidate.

Originally, he planned to let the descendant of the Liao Kingdom be the emperor of the puppet Qi regime, but he didn't expect Liu Yu to come to his door.

"You should also understand that the weight of the emperor of the puppet Qi, you are the real emperor for Shandong, Hebei and other places, so there are still many people who covet this position, you want me to push you up against all odds , is also very difficult.”

Wanyan Zongbi murmured, showing a very embarrassed look, and said.

Seeing this, Liu Yu hurriedly opened a small box next to him, and inside was glittering gold.

"General, Liu's time as magistrate is still short, so there is only such a meager continuation, all of which are used to honor the general, and ask the general to take care of Liu. If Liu can become the emperor, besides every year Paying tribute to my Great Jin Kingdom is unexpected, and I will pay tribute to the Great General every year."

Liu Yu smiled and moved the small box of gold to Wanyan Zongbi and said.

When Wanyan Zongbi saw this box of gold, it would be a lie to say that he was not moved. He pondered for a while, and said to Liu Yu:
"Even so, it seems that you are so sensible, so I'll help you go to the court to sort it out. If this can be done, you will need such a large box every year in the future."

As soon as Liu Yu heard that there was something interesting about it, he quickly agreed:
"Thank you for the cultivation, General, Liu will definitely deliver this box to the General's residence on time every year."

Wanyan Zongbi accepted Liu Yu's benefits, so Liu Yu became the puppet emperor of the puppet Qi regime established by the Kingdom of Jin.

With the puppet Qi as a buffer, there is a buffer zone between Jin and Song. Of course, it is for Jin. For Song, the next time it will face is the coalition of Jin and Puppet Qi. Troops up.

Wanyan Zongbi retreated to defend the capital, completely leaving the mess of Daming City to Liu Yu.

After Liu Yu took office, he built a huge treasury in his palace. In order to become the false emperor, he exhausted all his savings over the years, and now he has finally transformed into a The emperor of this puppet regime, his goal is to fill up the treasury he built.

But Liu Yu thought well, but at this time in Hebei, Shandong and other places, the common people have been baptized by the flames of war for a long time, and even having enough food is a problem, let alone there is still extra money for Liu Yu to search.

On this day, Liu Yu was walking on the street when he happened to see a man selling an antique in his pocket.

Liu Yu grabbed the man.

"Say, how did you get this thing?"

Liu Yu stared at this man, and said with an unfriendly expression:

"If I'm not mistaken, this thing should be used in the palace, why is it in your hand?"

When the man heard that this person was actually the current Emperor Liu Yu, he was frightened and foolish. He knelt down and begged Liu Yu for mercy, and gave Liu Yu this antique with great interest.

When Liu Yu heard what the man said, he shook his head and said:
"Tell me first, how did you get this thing? Did you steal something from the palace?"

The man hurriedly shook his head and said, "Your Majesty, I didn't steal this thing from the palace, but it was indeed stolen."

"What kind of twisted words did you say? If you dare to be so glib again, be careful, I will chop your head off."

Liu Yu said to the man with a displeased face.

"Your Majesty, this thing was dug out by the grass people... from that grave."

The man bit his head and said, digging someone's ancestral grave itself is something that the world despises, so now that the man said it, he was waiting for Liu Yuhui to have him chopped off.

Surprisingly, Liu Yu didn't let anyone arrest him, but a pensive expression appeared on his face.

"No, I will return this jade pendant to you!"

Liu Yu returned the jade pendant he had just taken from the man to the man.

The man was so happy, he didn't expect that Liu Yu didn't want to kill him, and returned the stolen things. The common people also said that Liu Yu was a tyrannical and fatuous king. Now it seems that this Liu Yu also Not bad.

The man thought so, but what Liu Yu said next let him know how ridiculous his thoughts were just now.

"This jade pendant can be returned to you, and I can also spare you the death penalty, but you must agree to one of my requests."

Liu Yu stared at the man and said.

When the man heard that there was such a good thing, he immediately agreed without hesitation, and said to Liu Yu:
"Your Majesty, I will do as you please."

"Where did you steal this thing? As long as you take me there, I will spare you the death penalty. If you can really dig up the treasure, I will reward you a lot."

Liu Yu said to this man.

Liu Yu was really thinking about money at this time, and even the money in the graveyard began to worry about it. Of course, he had no choice. Yes, Liu Yu is really poor.

Jin Jun still disdained to do such things as digging people's ancestral graves, but at this time, the Puppet Qi regime was impoverished, with a radius of three thousand miles and bones everywhere. Liu Yu was really too poor.

Liu Yu also knew that he, the emperor, was the godson of the Kingdom of Jin, and he was there to serve the Kingdom of Jin, so he didn't even think about trying his best to govern. He only wanted to be an emperor and enjoy a day's life, so he started to search for the people's fat and anointment. The amount of tribute given to him by the Kingdom of Jin is really too large, and it is really difficult for him to complete it.

So Liu Yu led the army and began to dig graves everywhere, so the puppet Qi army may not be effective in combat, but it is quite good at finding acupoints and locating them.

Not to mention, through digging other people's ancestral graves, Liu Yu really completed the task of giving tribute to the Kingdom of Jin, and even filled the warehouse that Liu Yu built by himself to the brim. However, what Liu Yu did It also caused complaints from the common people, so many people began to flee to the Song Dynasty.

The news of the establishment of the puppet Qi regime quickly reached the ears of the Song Dynasty.

Above the court hall, Zhu Lian looked at the courtiers and said:

"Now that the Kingdom of Jin has established a puppet Qi regime in Youyun Sixteen Prefectures, its sinister intentions are clearly revealed. Let's all talk about it. How should we deal with this puppet Qi regime?"

Li Gang finally rushed out from other places at this time, he pondered for a while, stood up and said:
"Saint, in this way, if our army wants to attack the Kingdom of Jin, we must first destroy the puppet Qi regime in the middle. In this way, on the one hand, it can weaken our strength, and on the other hand, it can bring great benefits to the Jin army. In order to provide a buffer, Jin Jun really made a wishful thinking."

Zhu Lian nodded and said:
"Since the founding of the Taizu, it has been the long-cherished wish of our ancestors to set the Central Plains in the north. Now that the Jin Kingdom has established a puppet Qi regime, our army is slightly inferior to the Jin army in combat power, but it is easy to fight against this puppet Qi. What do you think? How about regaining the lost ground at this time?"

After Zhu Lian finished speaking, the court fell into a brief silence, and none of the courtiers dared to speak up.

"What? Do you think my Song army can't even defeat the puppet Qi army?"

Seeing the state of the crowd, Zhu Lian couldn't get angry. She said coldly: "When you fought against the Kingdom of Jin, you people were timid, and felt that you were no match for the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin."

"But now it's not fighting with Jin's army, but with the puppet Qi and Liu Yu's army. They are all mobs and miscellaneous troops. Could it be that the regular army of the Song Dynasty can't even win against such an army? ?”

The courtiers heard the anger in Zhu Lian's words.

Li Shui, Minister of the Ministry of Rites, took a step forward, stood up and said:
"Your Majesty, I think that the land occupied by the puppet Qi at this time is really tasteless. It is useless to take it, and it is a pity to abandon it."

Zhu Lian didn't expect Li Ruoshui to throw out such an argument, so he nodded and said:
"Tell me, why do you say that."

Li Shui quickly replied:
"Your Majesty, the people in this land of Pseudo-Qi are living in dire straits. According to legend, there are corpses everywhere in the area of ​​three thousand miles. If our dynasty acquires the land of Puppet Qi, we will not be able to expropriate it like the Puppet Qi. At that time, the court will need to allocate a large amount of silver and grain." Helping this place to recuperate is really tasteless, this is one of them."

Li Shui's statement was obviously the thought of many courtiers in the court, because after Li Shui finished speaking, even Li Gang nodded, as if agreeing with Li Shui's statement.In fact, Li Shui's meaning is also very obvious. It is of no benefit to us in the Song Dynasty if we bring down this pseudo-Qi. Isn't it a thankless thing to resume production?
"Is there another one?"

Zhu Lian asked back, since Li Shui said one, obviously there is another.

"Secondly, the existence of this pseudo-Qi is a good thing for our dynasty. This is equivalent to having a buffer zone between our dynasty and the Kingdom of Jin. Our army does not have to face the Jin army directly. OK."

Li Shui said.

Zhu Lian waved his hand and said:
"Although our army is no longer in contact with the Jin army, it is going to face the Jin army's puppet Qi forces. The pressure has not only not decreased, but has also expanded a lot."

When Li Shui heard what Zhu Lian said, he withdrew without refuting.Zhu Lian took a deep breath and said to the courtiers:
"The land of Pseudo-Qi has always been the homeland of my great Han people to recuperate and live. The land of Shandong and Hebei is also my descendants of Yan and Huang, and they are also my people. Now they are living in dire straits, but you want to Tell me to abandon them and leave them alone, do you think I can do this?"

When all the courtiers heard Zhao Huan's words, they all lowered their heads. Zhu Lian's words were righteous, and they had no way to refute them.
