763, on the eve of the decisive battle

Jin Guo suffered a big loss in Nanjing Province, losing tens of thousands of main forces.

Wanyan Aguta was furious, and just when everyone thought that Wanyan Aguta would send a large army to attack Nanjing Road again to take revenge, he ordered the front-line Jin army to withdraw.

Many people in the country of Jin did not understand this, and some people asked him why he did this? Since the beginning of the army, the Jin country has dominated the world, invincible, only others have suffered our losses, how have we ever suffered such losses? Are we going to swallow this breath alive?

Wanyan replied, since the enemy dares to do this, he must be fully prepared, and it is very likely that we will fall into the enemy's trap again if we rush to take revenge now! Moreover, the Khitans in Nanjing Province have already received assistance from Huaguo, and it is when the soldiers are strong and strong, and we will fight them now, which will involve too much of our strength, and it is very likely that Yelu Yanxi and Xia Guo will find an opportunity! Therefore, of course we have to avenge this revenge, but now is not the time, when we completely pacify Yelu Yanxi and solve our worries, it is time for us to take revenge! When the time comes, I will personally lead the troops to level Nanjing Road, and then wave my army south to level Huaguo!

As soon as they heard this, the whole Jin country was suddenly impressed, and the whole country was united in the frantic preparations for the next action.

This news first reached Yanjing, Yelu Caijie contemplated for a long time after learning about it, she first ordered to lift the guard on the border with Jin, removed the ambush set up with Hua Rong and others, and then ordered the whole country to mobilize, accumulate materials, renovate the city defense, train the troops diligently, prepare for the future war, and finally sent the news to Zheng Fei,

Zheng Fei received a letter from Yelu Caijie, and after reading it, he couldn't help but sigh that Wanyan Aguta is indeed worthy of being a generation of heroes, and he can use the Jurchen to raise troops with only a thousand people and create an invincible Dajin Empire, which is indeed outstanding!

In the face of this situation, Zheng Fei knows that the future of the world will only arise between himself and Jin, and the cruelty and tragedy of the battle with Jin will also be an unprecedented test! He has strengthened his determination to seize the time and lead the people of China to continue to accumulate national strength and prepare for war in an all-round way.

Subsequently, more than a dozen targeted holy decrees were issued one after another, and the entire Dahua Kingdom was officially put into comprehensive preparations.

And just when Zheng Fei and Wanyan Aguda were leading their respective citizens and subordinates to prepare for the war for the same goal, the three kingdoms of Song, Liao, and Xia showed different situations.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

In terms of the Great Song Dynasty, although Zhao Huan disposed of Geng Nanzhong's father and son, and later set up Ouyang Xun as the prime minister, and then wanted to make great efforts, but Ouyang Xun and others were facing a mess left behind after Geng Nanzhong and his henchmen made a big trouble, if they wanted to save the Great Song Dynasty, they must carry out a thorough reform of the Great Song Dynasty from the root, which would naturally offend the huge vested interest groups of the country from top to bottom, their road to reform was difficult from the beginning, and they were struggling, not only that, but countless pairs of eyes were also staring at them, As long as they make the slightest mistake, there will be snowflakes of impeachment into the palace, and there are countless false accusations!

is the so-called three people become tigers, but Zhao Huan has become extremely sensitive because of the disaster of Zheng Juzhong and Geng Nanzhong, and deep down he doesn't fully trust Ouyang Xun and others, when he sees so many people impeaching them, he naturally thinks that they can't do it, and it didn't take long for Ouyang Xun to be dismissed, and then after selection, he announced the appointment of Zhang Bangchang as the prime minister.

This Zhang Bangchang's way of being an official is quite clever, when Zheng Juzhong was in power, he was not attached to Zheng Juzhong, nor did he oppose Zheng Juzhong. When Geng Nanzhong was in power, he also always adopted the strategy of protecting himself. Therefore, although he did not make any meritorious contributions in the two political turmoil, he was lucky not to cause any trouble, neither rising to the top and soaring into the sky, but also step by step in a solid upward development, plus this person is very good at talking, polite to everyone, everything can be strict, can not be loose, is also a well-known "good old man", won the love of the top and bottom of the court, set him up and down, immediately attracted a voice of praise from the court.

After Zhang Bangchang became prime minister, he immediately abolished the sharp reform strategy of Ouyang Xun and others, and turned to moderate ...... Or a mild and somewhat excessive approach, although many of the decrees he promulgated are good, but still continue his consistent way of being an official, that is, not to force, I give orders that I should give to help the rejuvenation of the country, that is my responsibility, but whether the people below will do what I say will be carried out is not my business, I don't have three heads, six arms and twelve heads, but I can't manage so much, and I can't make enemies with others because of official affairs.

This move was indeed unanimously welcomed by the DPRK and the central government, who wouldn't pretend? After pretending to be rich, everyone should be rich or rich, and what happened before and how it will be in the future.

Suddenly, in stark contrast to the DPRK and China's frantic impeachment of Ouyang Xun and others not long ago, there are now only a handful of people who even criticize Zhang Bangchang.

Zhao Huan was not relieved, he learned the lesson of Geng Nanzhong, and sent someone to secretly investigate Zhang Bangchang's virtue as the queen, but do you think, with Zhang Bangchang only willing to be a "peace officer" as an official, his huge amount of prime minister is enough for him to spend, how could he take risks and accept ill-gotten wealth to destroy his future?

It is said that the people who rushed to give gifts to Zhang Bangchang were lined up from his door to two streets away, but Zhang's house was stunned that the gate was closed and did not accept anything, and Zhang Bangchang himself had to sneak out of the back door when he went out.

It is also said that Zhang Bangchang's youngest son had a meal at a friend's house, and the meal was nothing, but when he came back, he "friendly" accepted a famous calligraphy and painting given to him by that friend, which was a disaster, and he was reprimanded by Zhang Bangchang when he went back, and returned the calligraphy and painting along with the wine money that night.

No matter how you look at it, Zhang Bangchang is a rare incorruptible official in the world.

This information was fed back to Zhao Huan, Zhao Huan was relieved, and the more he looked at Zhang Bangchang, the more satisfied he became, thinking that he had finally found a good prime minister who was both honest and willing to do things for himself, but he didn't know that a prime minister like Zhang Bangchang was even inferior to Geng Nanzhong, Tang Ke and others to some extent, at least the harm that those people brought to the country was obvious, and there was a way to prevent it, but what Zhang Bangchang brought was like an invisible poison, slowly paralyzing the nerves of Da Song and Zhao Huan. Let them step into the abyss silently and without realizing it!

On the Liao side, Yelu Yanxi did sober up for a period of time in the crisis in the first two years, whether it was the reuse of Neng Chen, or the move of Lianxia to resist Jin, it was very timely and correct, so that his subjects saw hope again.

But how to say it, some people are like dogs, and they can never get rid of eating.

In recent years, because Liao, Jin, Xia, Song, Nanjing Dao and Dahua have formed a number of tripods, so that the already precarious Liao finally ushered in a rare respite, Yelu Yanxi finally lived a stable life again, not long after, his old problem again, he first officially upgraded the palace in Zhongjing to the palace, since it has been upgraded, the palace should have the appearance of a palace, in order to achieve the same specifications as the palace in Beijing, he actually allocated funds from the military budget for repair and expansion. And when the palace is repaired, how can it be called the palace without three palaces, six courtyards, and seventy-two concubines inside? He also selected a large number of women to serve him in the palace in Zhongjing and Xijing, and continued to live a more arrogant and lascivious life than when he was in Beijing. Desire to live!

This is not over, Yelu Yanxi doesn't know what to think, he actually thinks that Xia Guo is completely inseparable from him, and as a barrier to help Xia Guo resist Jin and Dahua, he should get more aid from Xia Guo, so he has more and more requirements for Xia Guo, from money and food to army, everything,

Li Qianshun didn't notice anything at first, and he tried his best to satisfy everything he could, but later he heard that the military funds he had aided him had actually been embezzled by him to build the palace, and the grain and grass he had helped him had actually been sold by him for money to enjoy extravagance and luxury, and his lungs were almost blown up!

Li Qianshun seemed to have figured out a little bit why the Great Liao Empire, which was once incomparably powerful in his eyes, had rapidly declined to this point at such an incredible speed, Yelu Yanxi, the faint monarch, definitely had an unshirkable responsibility!

At this time, the voices from the Xia State against the Liaoxia alliance are also getting louder and louder, they believe that the current decline of the Liao State and the Song State is an unchangeable fact, and the future will be the world of the two superpowers Dajin and Dahua, and if the Xia State wants to continue to survive in the cracks of the great powers as before, it must find another way out as soon as possible and attach itself to one of the great powers, instead of being dragged into the water by the Liao State and Yelu Yanxi.

Among the two major powers, we have a deep enmity with Huaguo, naturally not, then the only choice is Jinguo, although we have aided Liao, we have not fought any death war with Jin, and there is no deep hatred, it is too late to make peace with Jin, if we continue to wait, once we really go to war, we will have no way to retreat with Jin, when the time comes, the two superpowers will regard us as a thorn in the eye, if we are thorns in the flesh, how can we have a way to live? What's more, our Xia country is originally a poor country, and it is very difficult to support ourselves by relying on the barren desert Gobi, and Yelu Yanxi is an insatiable faint king who only knows how to enjoy debauchery and pleasure, let's help him with the little money and food squeezed out of his teeth for him to enjoy, how can there be such a reason in the world? !

In the past, Li Qianshun would not accept these suggestions, but now Yelu Yanxi's excessive actions finally had a huge impact on him, and Li Qianshun made a decision to send someone to secretly go to the Jin Kingdom with his handwritten letter to express his desire to become a Jin vassal state.

The envoy of the Xia Kingdom spared a large circle and arrived in the Jin Kingdom, and saw Wanyan Aguta,

Wanyan Aguda's attachment to Li Qianshun was unusual, in this way, with Xia Jun's internal and external cooperation, wouldn't it be easy to destroy Liao again, and he could get a strong reinforcement for himself!

However, due to the lessons learned from Nanjing Dao and Ye Luding, Wanyan Aguda learned a lesson, and he wrote back to Li Qianshun and said, If you really want to submit to our Dajin, of course, you can, and we are willing to accept it, but you must first show sincerity, so that we can see that you are sincerely anti-Liao and Guijin, and not deceive us.

After a long time, Li Qianshun received the news, and after careful consideration, he again sent an envoy to secretly envoy Jin, promising to fully cooperate with Jin's actions, as long as Jin could cede part of Liao's territory to Xia after the destruction of Liao.

Wanyan Aguta received the letter again, and when he saw it, he couldn't stop laughing, and immediately agreed to Li Qianshun's request, and the two countries secretly signed an agreement.

In April of the fourth year of Dahua, without the knowledge of Yelu Yanxi and Princess Cheng'an, the 100,000 Xia troops who were in the territory of the Liao State suddenly defected, attacked the Liao army, and led the Jin army into the country.

The Liao army was caught off guard and suffered heavy losses, coupled with Yelu Yanxi's unreasonableness, the Liao army chose to fight for the country with very few dead, and many chose to reduce gold or summer, and the territory of Liao quickly fell under the Xia and Jin armies at an incredible speed.

Yelu Yanxi got the news, fled from Zhongjing in a hurry, and fled all the way to the west, but this time he was not so lucky, and intercepted the captured Jin soldiers near Yingzhou.

In this way, in less than a month, the only remaining Zhongjing Road and Xijing Road in Liao Kingdom fell into the hands of Jin State and Xia State.

When the news reached the Xia Kingdom, Princess Cheng'an committed suicide in grief and indignation, and it is said that Li Qianshun was so sad that he was still buried according to the queen's ceremony.

And because the time of the defection of the Xia State and the destruction of the Liao State was too fast, it was not enough time for Zheng Fei to react, when Zheng Fei got the news, the dignified Great Liao had long ceased to exist, and in the original territory of the Great Liao, only Jin, Xia and Nanjing Dao were left to confront each other, and the next target of the two countries of Jin and Xia would be either Nanjing Dao or Song State.

Zheng Fei knew that this moment had finally come, and it was time for the final decisive battle to start!
