Now we are facing a problem, which is about the head coach of the Jin army, Wanyan Zonghan.

According to Zhao Huan's temper, it was necessary to tear Wanyan Zonghan into pieces. However, yesterday, Liu Yanzong told him something that forced him to rethink this issue.

There are now two factions in the Jin Dynasty. One is Wanyan Gao, the military and political power figures of the Jin Dynasty, with Wanyan Zongwang and Wanyan Zonghan under his command. It can be said that a series of powerful generals from the Jin Dynasty are gathered on his side.

One faction is Wanyan Zongpan. His identity is very special. He is the eldest son of the Jin emperor Wanyan Sheng of the dynasty. His supporters include Wanyan Chang and Wanyan Zongjun. Wanyan Chang is also a powerful figure in the Jin Dynasty. He is Wanyan Aguda's cousin, and Wanyan Zongjun is Wanyan Aguda's sixth son.

When Wanyan Aguda founded the country, he established a system called Bojilie. This system was equivalent to the two prefectures of the Song Dynasty. They were both national prime ministers. They played the highest power except the emperor, namely the leader of civil and military officials.

Wanyan Zongpan really wanted his father to abolish this system, which would greatly weaken the power of the powerful ministers and curb Wanyan Gao and others, and would have much less resistance to establishing a crown prince.

Wanyan Zonghan is one of Bo Jilie. Wanyan Zonghan has a very high status in the Jin Kingdom and can be said to be the first hero of the founding of the Jin Kingdom.

The issue Zhao Huan reconsidered was that if Wanyan Zonghan was killed, the power constraints of the Jin Kingdom might collapse, Wanyan Zongpan would have an advantage in a short period of time, and it was even very likely that the Jin Emperor would take this opportunity to abolish Bo Ji Lie.

Logically speaking, Wanyan Zonghan was killed, and Wanyan Zongpan's strength was enhanced, which Zhao Huan hoped to see, because Wanyan Zongpan was the peace faction, Zhao Huan did not plan to fight for the time being, and fighting hard was the worst strategy!

However, according to Liu Yanzong, there were actually no real peace factions in the Jin Dynasty. The so-called peace factions were just to fight against their own political enemies. Once their political enemies were killed, the peace factions would become war factions.

By then, Wanyan Zongpan would be given the position of crown prince and become a pro-war faction. This is the situation that Zhao Huan did not want to see.

The current pro-war faction led by Wanyan Gao is at least constrained by the peace faction Wanyan Zongpan, and the mutual consumption of the Jin Dynasty is better than turning Wanyan Zongpan into a pro-war faction.

Therefore, Zhao Huan was stumped by this problem.

From a sensory perspective, Zhao Huan naturally wanted to kill Wanyan Zonghan and then quickly. He had killed so many Song soldiers and the common people, so he could not just let them go back for no reason.

After thinking about it, Liu Yanzong was worse. He told Zhao Huan that it would be enough to put Wanyan Zonghan back, but he didn't say that he would put it back intact. He dared to use a knife on the territory of the Holy Emperor. He would not have a memory without cutting something with a knife.

So, Liu Yanzong offered a plan for the puzzled Zhao Huan: castrate Wanyan Zonghan and put them back!

Zhao Huan shouted in his heart that Liu Yanzong was simply a genius and could think of such a bad plan.

Liu Yanzong also explained to Zhao Huan that strict Wanyan Zonghan had another advantage, which made Wanyan Zonghan hate the Song Dynasty. In this way, he always wanted to take revenge and attack Song Dynasty. Once he wanted to do so, Wanyan Zongpan would naturally suppress him twice as much, and Wanyan Zongpan would rely on the Song Dynasty even more.

I have to say that Liu Yanzong has a few tricks. After saying this, Zhao Huan nodded repeatedly and immediately praised Liu Yanzong, saying that he would never disturb him when he was having sex with prostitutes in the future.

Zhao Huan ordered people to beat Wanyan Zonghan half to death. When he was tortured by Wanyan Zonghan, the emperor sat next to him, eating fruits while watching this rare show. From time to time, he also asked the imperial guards who used torture why the imperial city guards used this posture. It turned out that it could make the prisoners feel so painful to the sky.

The emperor highly appreciated their wit and professionalism.

After confirming that Wanyan Zonghan had been beaten halfway, he began to castrate Wanyan Zonghan. At this time, Zhao Huan avoided it. He didn't want to see that kind of scene, which would affect his appetite at night.

There is also a small episode here, which is also about Wanyan Zonghan.

After Wanyan Zongpan signed the Taiyuan Alliance with Zhao Huan, he asked Wanyan Zonghan for him, saying that he had taken him back, but Zhao Huan refused.

The reason for rejection is also very simple. Wanyan Zonghan is a war criminal and must be detained without any room for negotiation.

Seeing that the emperor was strong, Wanyan Zongpan didn't say much. He only hoped that Zhao Huan would kill Wanyan Zonghan as soon as possible. The reason why he asked Zhao Huan for Wanyan Zonghan was that he wanted to kill Wanyan Zonghan with his own hands on the way back to avoid long nights of dreams.

Now it seems that this emperor who likes to chop people will definitely kill Wanyan Zonghan, so he went back happily.

However, he did not expect that Zhao Huan did not kill Wanyan Zonghan, but just castrated him... and then sent someone to escort him back to the Jin Kingdom, which was a gift left to Wanyan Zongpan.

Shortly after the Taiyuan Alliance was signed, the Jin army headed by Wanyan Zongwang on Hebei Road began to retreat. According to the requirements put forward by the State of Song, Guo Yaoshi must be left behind and Dong Cai surrendered to the Song general who had passed.

For this issue, Wanyan Zongwang wrote to Wanyan Sheng many times, saying that he must not leave Dong Cai and Guo Pharmacist alone, otherwise who would dare to surrender to Dajin in the future?

His letter did not receive a response from Wanyan Sheng, and he did not object or agree. There was also huge controversy in the Jin Dynasty's court.

After Wanyan Zongpan returned to the Jin Kingdom and presented the covenant to the Jin Emperor, he was firmly opposed and denounced by the pro-war factions. They did not accept this matter, saying that this was an insult to the powerful Jin Dynasty and was willing to send another 100,000 troops south.

But at this time, Yelu Dashi came to the west to attack the surrounding area of ​​Qingzhou, and the defense line in the western part of the Jin Dynasty was tight.

Wanyan Zongpan wrote a letter saying that he should not use troops against the Song Dynasty. Yan Yun himself bought it for one million yuan. At that time, the Zhang Jue incident, and now the incident in the Jin Dynasty also had Guo Yaoshi and Dong Cai incidents, which was considered to be even.

If they were fighting, let alone the Song Dynasty and Yelu Dashi, even a small Dangxiang might take advantage of the situation.

Under the debate in the court, Wanyan Sheng finally ordered Wanyan Zongwang to withdraw his troops completely and officially return the land of Yanyun to the State of Song.

In the view of later historians, this Yanyun incident, which seemed to be planned by the Jin Dynasty because of the reasons mentioned by Wanyan Zongpan, only one reason was: the power reconfiguration of the Jin Dynasty.

That is, the so-called war is actually a derivative of politics. After Wanyan Sheng ascended the throne, he realized that Bo Jilie had too much power. After destroying the Liao Kingdom, the prime ministers and military power figures had too much say in the Jin Kingdom. Sometimes, he, the emperor, could only follow them.

Wanyan Sheng has always wanted to abolish the Bojili system, but because he has no chance, the real power figures of Bojili are too good at fighting and have made many military achievements.

But now it is different. Wanyan Zonghan defeated the war. This time the Jin Kingdom suffered heavy losses. Several generals who could fight were killed in battle. At this time, the most important thing for Wanyan Sheng was not to continue fighting, but to suppress these formerly arrogant ministers of real power, concentrate their monarchy, and pave the way for his son's future succession.

Therefore, Wanyan Sheng finally made the decision to return Yan Yun. The reason for returning Yan Yun was naturally that they were all thrown to Wanyan Gao's faction. Of course, they had to take the blame. It was precisely because of the defeat of the pro-war faction that the current situation was led to.

Fortunately, Wanyan Zongpan was brave and sent a mission to the Taiyuan Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. On the basis of his defeat, he forced the Song State to open trade with the Jin State. This was a great achievement!

Zhao Huan was quite satisfied with the situation opposite.
Chapter completed!
