Legacy of the Water Margin: Hualang Yanqing

It is closer to real history than Water Margin. In the late Northern Song Dynasty, the Jurchens emerged. Cai Jing and Gao Qiu encouraged Song Huizong to send envoys to contact the Jurchens, hoping to attack the Liao Kingdom and regain Yanyun. This is the absurd logic of "leading the tiger to drive away the wolf". Yan Qing was worried about his country and asked Ying to serve as an envoy to the Kingdom of Jin. He met many heroes and fell in love with the holy shaman goddess Erlan. Impressed by the Jurchen's heroic prowess and alerted by her violent greed, he changed his mission and rescued the captured Liao princess and fled to Liao together. He reached a consensus with the enlightened prince Yelu Dashi that Song and Liao should abandon their past grievances and fight the enemy together. Yan Qing's idea was ruthlessly rejected, so he went to Goryeo, hoping that Goryeo would attack the Jurchens from behind. Being exploited by Goryeo's treacherous Prime Minister Li Ziqian, Goryeo, who was afraid of the Jin Kingdom, refused the request. The Northern Song Dynasty was overthrown, and the two emperors were captured in the Northern Kingdom. Yan Qing sneaked into the Kingdom of Jin with the help of Goryeo Huarangs and the goddess Erlan to rescue the Second Emperor. Unfortunately, he encountered Qin Hui, a scumbag of the nation, and his plans were leaked. All the heroes died heroically for their country. This novel and its characters are purely fictitious.
