Chapter 522: Emperor Liao's Rebellious Period
The Liao Dynasty's resentment against the Western Xia has accumulated for a long time, and the Western Xia has intensified since the end of the year, and the Western Xia sent troops to help the Liao and suppressed the uprising of the Jiashan tribe, but the Liao will all the captives and have not given the Western Xia a trace of benefits, which makes Li Yuanhao extremely dissatisfied, and he and the Liao Dynasty are allies rather than subject countries.
In retaliation, Li Yuanhao instigated and lured the Shannan Party and the Du'er tribe under Liao rule to rebel against Liao and return to Xia. Then, he instigated the Dull tribe to descend and constantly harass the border of the Liao Dynasty, Li Yuanhao thought that he was doing it seamlessly, but he forgot that the Liao Dynasty did not need any evidence from the beginning to the end......
Yelu Zong really planned to conquer Western Xia to establish national prestige, but what Yelu Zong really didn't expect was that in April this year, Qu Lie and others actually raised troops to surrender to Xia, and Da Liao ordered Li Yuanhao to return it, and he dared not to give it.
This led to Yelu Zongzhen sending troops to recruit the rebel Dangxiang clan, and Li Yuanhao not only did not pay tribute to ask for peace, but sent troops to rescue him, killing Liao and recruiting Xiao Puda. Yeluzong was really angry, although the previous incident made Da Liao's face unsightly, but he didn't officially tear his face because of his face, but now it's different when he kills the envoy, this is beating him Yeluzong's real face!
Is it tolerable or intolerable? Yelu Zongzhen immediately dispatched hundreds of thousands of troops from all over the country to prepare for a large-scale crusade against Western Xia on the southwestern border.
Zhao Zhen only received the news recently, which was slightly different from the news from Song Xiaoyi before, but the army had already arrived at Shimenpu to make a fool of itself, and Xia Zhu and Cao Wei in Zhao Zhen's imperial tent walked around excitedly, like two donkeys pulling and grinding.
A godsend! A godsend!
On the one hand, the official family plans to take the imperial family to collect Yanyun, and on the other hand, the Liao Dynasty is about to send troops to fight against the Western Xia, which can be regarded as a golden opportunity for the Great Song Dynasty, and once the Liao Dynasty conquers the party in the west, it will definitely weaken its original power!
"Official, once the Liao Dynasty conquers Western Xia, it will be the best time for my Great Song Dynasty, and when the army suddenly arrives in Yanyun and the Liao people are deep in the battle of Western Xia, they will not be able to come back!"
Xia Zhu's words were affirmed by Cao Wei, and he looked at the map and looked up and said: "Xia Shenzheng is reasonable, my 100,000 male soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty will directly take Yanyun, and it will not take three months to occupy the sixteen states!" ”
Zhao Zhen smiled and nodded: "Well, this is also what I think, as early as last year, I received the news of the black hand, the Liao Emperor has long been dissatisfied with the Western Xia, and if he wants to attack the Western Xia, he can be dissuaded by the courtiers of the Liao Dynasty, and now the two sides with deep grievances have completely broken out, and the opportunity for our Great Song Dynasty is also here!"
The order goes on, the military exercise continues, Di Qing and Yang Huaiyu continue to practice the forbidden army, day after day, they must not slack off, the more they reach such a moment, the more they cannot show their flaws, I want to give the Liao Dynasty and Yelu Zongzhen a surprise that is not taken by surprise! ”
Cao Wei and Xia Zhu nodded in agreement, in their opinion, this is the most correct choice, since ancient times, soldiers have never tired of deceit, and it is important to be fast, if you greet the enemy in advance, then what else to fight?
As long as the text is issued before the war, there is no way to cut down there, not to mention that the land of Yanyun is regarded as the hometown of China, although it was dedicated to the Liao Dynasty by Emperor Shi Jingjiao, but this kind of behavior has never been recognized by the Great Song Dynasty, and it has never been recognized that the sixteen states of Yanyun are the land of the Liao Dynasty.
After Cao Wei and Xia Zhu retreated, Zhao Zhen opened Song Xiaoyi's information, this is about the Liao Emperor Yelu Zong, from the beginning to the end, including some of his small habits and temperament, Zhao Zhen grinned, judging from the information, this young son of heaven is really interesting, he loves music and Confucianism, and he is also open-minded and generous to people, if it is not for the edification of this throne and the catalysis of power, it is actually the character of a big boy next door, and he is still a literary and artistic youth!
Now it seems that Yelu Zong is really an adolescent rebellious young man, and he always has the momentum of not being afraid of heaven and earth in his heart, and the city is quite shallow, and he can't bear to be swept away, but he was bullied and almost usurped.
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhen was slightly surprised, Yelu Zongzhen seemed to have experienced something similar to himself, his father was seriously ill, and someone was plotting rebellion...... It's just that Liu E is far more humane than Xiao Yunjin, and she is not as crazy as her.
This can't be the scourge that Yelu Longxu deliberately left behind for his son to experience, right? Zhao Zhen touched his chin and began to guess, he had heard that Yelu Zongzhen's process of recovering power was particularly smooth back then, Zhao Zhen didn't believe it, how could the power in Xiao Yunjin's hands be defeated by a teenager so easily, and it was in the spring hunting place of the Liao Dynasty?
Playing with the building lamp in his hand, Zhao Zhen suddenly woke up and muttered to himself: "Sure enough, it is the heart of the parents who pity the world!" ”
Needless to say, even if Zhao Zhen didn't get the exact information, he could guess that Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu left a back hand for the child like his father, Zhao Heng deliberately laid out a big game of chess in order to let Zhao Zhen succeed to the throne safely, and Yelu Longxu was more straightforward, directly making his son's biological mother his enemy, but leaving a strong army as a backhand.
Both of them are strong fatherly love, but this is not good at expressing fatherly love, only the real person of Yelu Sect can understand the painstaking work when he reaches middle age......
To be honest, Zhao Zhen was a little envious of Yelu Zongzhen's adolescent rebellion, which allowed Yelu Zongzhen to carry out a series of drastic reforms without estimates, especially under the guidance of virtuous people, it was easier to eradicate old diseases, but during this time, it was also very easy to make mistakes in a hurry, for example, Yelu Zongzhen had a particularly good relationship with his younger brother Yelu Chongyuan, which was even sometimes without dignity and humility, so good that it was misleading......
But Zhao Zhen himself can't go back to the period when he could make mistakes and act recklessly, and now the decrees of the Great Song Dynasty must follow the rules, and whenever Zhao Zhen wants to make changes, the first thing that comes to mind is resistance, the division between various interest groups, etc., and he can no longer return to the original drastic state.
The only thing that he did the most out of the ordinary was this royal expedition, and Zhao Zhen also thought that this might be his first and last time on the battlefield......
The barracks have been quiet, and all the places where the lights are still on after the lights out are the generals' residences, including Zhao Zhen's own imperial tent, in order to maintain the physical strength and combat effectiveness of the soldiers, adequate sleep is indispensable.
Stretching a big lazy waist, Zhao Zhen breathed a sigh of relief, this time there are no three talents, there are no Wenchen who always stare at their own etiquette, only some old and rough generals and the loveliest people, Zhao Zhen is naturally more casual, and he doesn't have to live so tired.
But it didn't take long for this quiet and peaceful environment to be ruined by the noise, Zhao Zhen frowned slightly, he hated it the most when someone disturbed his sleep, let alone when the soldiers had been training for a day.
The veterans of the Guards Division had appeared around them neatly dressed at this time, and the entire Chinese army also woke up at once, the forbidden army had already been accustomed to waiting for the rest of the day after the training of emergency assembly, at this time the armor was on, the blade was in hand, the bow and crossbow were wound, and the strong quality was fully revealed.
