The southern border of Yanshan, which is covered with battle clouds, from the defeat of the Khitan and the loss of the thistle, shows the victory or loss of this battle. Pen | fun | pavilion www. ｂｉｑｕｇｅ。 ｉｎｆｏ

Youzhou is the first place to recover the land of Yanshan, and the Liao people lose Youzhou is to lose the opportunity.

But a flood trapped the Song army in Shunzhou, the Liao army sent troops violently, pressing step by step, the Song army under the city of Danzhou was forced to retreat to the Jizhou border, the deputy general Song Xinwu did not act decisively, because there was no owner in the army, only blindly retreated, but let the Liao soldiers get the first opportunity.

The Liao soldiers besieged the Song army, the Song soldiers suffered heavy casualties, and the city of Shunzhou was in danger, but two days later, the Song army ushered in the willows and flowers, and survived.

The Song army, which had repeatedly retreated, suddenly responded to the secret attack after arriving in Jizhou, and the guerrillas took turns to attack the Liao camp one after another, and did not directly meet the Liao soldiers, making the Liao camp peaceful.

The war horses of the Liao camp were secretly poisoned by the Song army, and the war horses were weak and could not chase the enemy.

This not only relieved the predicament of Shunzhou, but also caused the Liao soldiers to suffer a series of contusions.

Of course, these are just Yan Hanyu's subtle tricks, and in order to frustrate the Liao soldiers, there is naturally no other way to deal with it.

The Song army attacked three cities in a row earlier, in order to keep the people of Yandi Han away from the flames of war, the people of Youzhou City have already been transferred, and the people of Shunzhou and Jizhou City have not been transferred, and they are still in the city.

Now there is a flood discharge without warning, the people in the lower reaches of Beishayan have suffered countless casualties, so there is a saying that the Liao people abandoned the people and stayed in the city in the Yandi area, saying that the Liao people only need the city, and the people in the Yandi area were abandoned, and the Liao people were pushed to the cusp.

The majority of Han people in Yandi, and the Han people have not been treated fairly in the Khitan for many years, is it for slavery, or a few years ago, Han Yingde supervised the country, proposed to abolish the slavery of the Han people for generations, and implement the system of selecting officials and appointing talents, regardless of the Han Dynasty, and assessing officials.

It's just that Yanyun is generally enslaved, and it will take at least ten and a half years to succeed in reform, so the people of Yandi are angry after suffering a lot.

The words of those Liao people who "abandoned the people and left the empty city" spread quickly, and the refugees in Youzhou and Shunzhou even gathered outside Changping County in order to find justice.

Even the city of Danzhou is not stable, and everyone is fluctuating.

Of course, these people were instigated by the Song army, and many of these people were mixed in with refugees disguised as Song army.

If the Liao people directly shoot the common people and leave a name of brutality, it will be difficult for the people of Yandi to surrender.

On June 26 of the second year of Yongxi, the grain hoarding of Liao soldiers in Changping County was robbed, and the grain and grass of the army in Danzhou City also disappeared overnight.

At this point, the Liao people were almost defeated.

On June 27, the Liao sent envoys to negotiate with the commander of the Song army at the Chaobai River.

More than a dozen people from the Liao, led by Han Yingde, came on horseback.

"Privy Council Chancellor Han Yingdeok. ”

"Zhao Xian. ”

After meeting, they hugged their fists.

There are about a dozen people in each team.

"I have heard the name of His Royal Highness the King of Qin for a long time, and I have heard that the King of Qin has the style of a father when he leads the troops, and he is clever and scheming, and he uses soldiers like a god.

"Thank you, Lord Han, for your compliment. "His Royal Highness the King of Qin is riding on a horse, dressed in silver light armor, handsome and handsome, and he is not slow when he responds, slow but not sinking.

"I have a saying to the Khan that I am willing to withdraw from Juyong Pass and give up the southern border of Yanshan, You, Shun, Tan, and Ji, but there are other conditions. ”

"Oh? ”

"Tens of thousands of people have been injured in this battle, and if we continue to fight, it will not benefit anyone! Therefore, I am willing to take a step back, cede the city, and restore peace to the people. But please ask the Lord of Song to sign a letter of cessation of war and stop the war for the people of the world. ”

"What about Yunzhong Prefecture City?"

"Our dynasty has governed Yanyun for thirty or fifty years, and the Liao people are now treating the Han people well and not as slaves, but over the years, the Central Plains has pressed the border several times, and the two armies have not stopped fighting, which is not beneficial to our two dynasties. And today's Central Plains avoids closures, forbids the sea, and is not open to foreign trade, and with the wisdom of King Qin, he should know the consequences of not being able to communicate with foreign trade. ”

"Lord Han is very clear about my internal affairs in the Great Song Dynasty. Zhao Xian's voice was light, "But I don't know how Empress Dowager Xiao solved it now in the face of the vassal king's self-respect?"

Han Yingde's heart sank, as soon as this remark came out, didn't it mean that King Qin was also very clear about the internal affairs of their Liao Dynasty.

In this way, the Liao Dynasty must have had Song Chen spies.

The Liao Dynasty stopped the war precisely because the vassal king held heavy troops, and the border was fighting again, so imminently moved, the imperial court was in crisis, and no matter how strong the Liao soldiers and horses were, they had to deal with the internal strife in order to deal with the foreign invasion of the enemy.

"Lord Han, the sixteen states of Yanyun, this king is bound to win. In a word, the words of Qingming were loud and clear, "The land of the Central Plains will return to the land!"

"The ground is dangerous in the clouds, I don't know how the prince broke through the city and entered the customs?"

"How this king captured Youzhou, how will he recapture Yunzhou. ”

Yunzhou is the breakthrough point in the Yunzhong area, as long as Yunzhou is occupied, Confucianism, Fuzhou, Wuzhou, and Xinzhou are like things in the bag, all of which belong to the Song Dynasty.

But Yunzhou is more difficult to attack than Danzhou, in the north of Shanyin, under the Great Wall, the city wall is extremely thick, there is a dangerous road in Hulonggou, and there is Maoyu Pass, many checkpoints, the city is the most difficult to break.

"King Qin's tone is not small!"

Zhao Xian only said, "The emperor has already made a will, as long as Lord Han is willing to return to the Central Plains, he will be crowned with the official position of Lord Han, the position of privy envoy, and the official position will always be reserved for Lord Han." ”

In the early years, the emperor drove his own expedition to Youzhou, and the emperor heard that the left-behind officials in Youzhou were the captured Han people, and the emperor would of course spare no effort to send envoys to persuade him, in order to recapture Youzhou, the emperor encircled Han Yingde's father, who was left behind in Youzhou at that time, and issued a holy decree to seal Han Yingde's father as an official, but Han Yingde's father was not moved, and continued to fight with the Song army, and was defeated, and it was Han Yingde who saved the defeat in Youzhou.

Later, Han Yingde became a stay in Youzhou, and the emperor continued to issue a decree and sealed Han Yingde's official position.

"The three generations of this official have been officials in Da Liao, and this official is a person from Da Liao. ”

Han Yingde's words fell, but he heard a crisp voice, "The villain thinks that Lord Han will definitely stay in the Liao Dynasty because of his children's personal affairs, so why should His Highness persuade him?"

"Don't be unreasonable to Lord Han. "Although His Royal Highness the King of Qin is reprimanded, he doesn't meet at all and is angry.

Even if it is a negotiation, both parties will naturally leave face to each other.

But although the Liao people said that they were negotiating, they didn't feel sincere in a word, and they were obviously perfunctory.

The Khitan was already a success or failure, and if it really wanted to stop the war, it was necessary to come up with sincere conditions.

"Your Highness, the villain is just telling the truth. Besides, their young Khitan lord was very bold, and he dared to drive the expedition in person, and even left in the post station of Changping County...... "Behind King Qin was an inconspicuous little slave, thin and small, sitting on horseback, facing Han Yingde at this moment, his eyes were shining, and he asked, "Lord Han, when you came out, your khan returned to the court, right?"

When this sentence was asked, Han Yingde didn't know why, and suddenly had a bad premonition in his heart.
