Chapter 260: Hunt and Kill (11)

Yang Ye accurately grasped the battlefield environment, and according to the unusual arrogance of the Liao army, he would inevitably be unprepared; Never expecting the weakness of the Song army's courage to take the initiative to sneak attack, it resolutely adopted tactics including taking the initiative to attack, running from a long distance, and covertly engaging the enemy, which played a decisive role in the victory of the war.

There is another point that has to be mentioned, that is, in the battle of Yanmen Pass, Yang Ye did not fight according to Song Taizong's so-called "Ten Thousand Arrays", also known as "Pingrong Wanquan Array", but chose flexible strategies and tactics.

For example, holding on to the city is a little stick, and a little sticking can attract the Liao army tightly; The Liao army thought that the main force of the Song army was in the Yanmen Pass, so they spared no effort to surround and attack.

However, there is a bed crossbow commonly used by the Song army in Yanmen Pass, and the bed crossbow is like a howitzer of the future; The range of a crossbow arrow is one or two kilometers, and it can penetrate the bodies of three Liao troops at the same time; Under the protection of the bed crossbow, the Liao army of Yanmen Pass was difficult to capture for a long time.

The six horse teams prepared by Yang Ye attacked from six sides, and the horse teams led by himself even grabbed the rear of the Liao army for assault and killing; The Khitans are difficult to take care of; Morale was low, and in the end it could only end in failure.

Liaojingzong Yeluxian wore braids shortly after his defeat at Yanmen Pass, and her little wife Xiao Zhuo assisted her son Yelu Longxu to take charge of the government; The Liao State entered the reign of Xiao Zhuo, the Empress Dowager of Chengtian.

Xiao Zhuo is a woman who must not be underestimated, she is 15 years older than Liu Min; The assistant son was 29 years old when he ascended the throne, and he was a female politician similar to Wu Zetian; The Liao people call her Empress Dowager Xiao.

Empress Dowager Xiao was born in 953 A.D. and died in 1009 A.D., a political career of nearly 30 years; The political, economic, military, and cultural development of Liao has made great progress.

Empress Dowager Xiao is famous, with a small character Yanyan; She is the queen of Yeluxian of Liaojingzong; The daughter of Xiao Siwen, the privy envoy of the Northern Liaoyuan and the prime minister of the Northern Mansion.

His father, Xiao Siwen, was the nephew of Xiao Dilu, the founding prime minister of the Liao Dynasty (the brother of Empress Shulu), and served in the four dynasties of Liao Taizong, Liao Shizong, Liao Muzong, and Liao Jingzong; is in danger, and has the merit of aiding Jingzong, which can be described as a moment of power.

Her mother, Princess Yanguo, is the eldest daughter of Liao Taizong, which shows how prominent and noble Xiao Xuan's background is.

When Liaojingzong Yeluxian succeeded to the throne, he faced a chaotic situation, and he really wanted to make a great career; But since childhood, he has been in poor health, and in addition to relying on the ministers of the Han Dynasty, he relies more on the queen Xiao Xuan.

Yeluxian once said to the minister: When writing the queen's speech, it should also be called "I" or "Yu", which can be used as a decree; This shows that Xiao Yanyan can act as the emperor.

In September of the fourth year of Qianheng (982 AD), Liao Jingzong died, and Liao Shengzong ascended the throne; Xiao Yanyan was revered as the regent of the Queen Mother.

At that time, Xiao Yanyan was 29 years old, and Liao Shengzong was only 12 years old; With the assistance of the ministers Yelu Xianzhen and Han Derang, the position of the Empress Dowager and the Holy Sect was consolidated.

In June of the first year of Liao Tonghe (983 AD), Liao Shengzong led his ministers to give Xiao Yanyan the title of "Empress Dowager of Chengtian".

Xiao Yanyan was the chief regent of the military state as the empress dowager of Chengtian, and thus began the famous "regency of the queen of Chengtian" in the history of the Liao Dynasty.

When Xiao Yanyan was young, she promised to be married to Hanchen Han Derang, but she was chosen by the emperor as a concubine before she could get married.

After Liao Jingzong's death, Xiao Yanyan took a fancy to Han Derang's political and military talents; So he decided to remarry Han Derang.

At that time, the customs of the Khitan tribe were allowed, and she said to Han Derang privately: "I once promised to marry you, and I wish to be harmonious with the old." The king is your son. ”

Xiao Yanyan secretly sent someone to kill Han Derang's wife Li, and since then, Han Derang has been in and out of Xiao Yanyan's tent without hesitation; Living a de facto married life.

Liao Shengzong also served Han Derang as his father, and Han Derang loyally assisted the Empress Dowager Chengtian and Liao Shengzong, and his political achievements were outstanding.

During the regency of Xiao Yanyan, she made great efforts to govern the country, selected Han people, opened up a branch to take scholars, eliminated the unequal treatment of the Han Dynasty, persuaded the peasants and mulberries, Bo Fu and resigned, repaired the internal affairs, strictly organized the armament, established the program and discipline, made peace with the Song Dynasty, took advantage of the New Year's coin, and developed the economy and culture to a high degree, so that the Liao Dynasty reached its heyday.

In October of the twenty-fourth year of Tonghe (1006), Liao Shengzong led his ministers to give Xiao Yanyan the title of "Ruide Shenluo Yingyun Qihua Dharma Dao Hongren Shengwu Kaitong Emperor Dowager".

In November of the twenty-seventh year of the unification, Xiao Yanyan handed over power to Liao Shengzong and was no longer regent; In December of the same year, Xiao Yanyan died of illness in the palace at the age of 57.

Yang Ye Yanmen Pass became a generation of famous generals in the northern Xinjiang and made immortal contributions to the defense of the northern territory of the Song Dynasty.

However, in the second Liao campaign launched by Song Taizong, Yang Ye died for the country; The main reason for this is that the eunuchs and the army played a very bad role.

Yang Ye was defeated in "Yongxi Northern Expedition", Chen Jiayu was captured by the Liao army, unwilling to surrender and died on a hunger strike for three days; The eldest son, Yang Yanzhao, inherited his father's will and continued to fight the Liao army on the front line.

After the victory at Yanmen Pass, Song Taizong has been in a good mood; Suddenly, on a whim, he wanted to persuade the people to farm and mulberry, so he went to the Guanjia Hall accompanied by the eunuch Wang Chengen and Lan Caihe, the head of the Imperial City Division.

The weather in early autumn is still very hot, but Song Taizong wants to put on a pro-people and virtuous appearance; Holding a hoe in his hand, he worked hard, but saw Liu Shiyuying, the wife of the third prince Zhao Heng, standing on the ground and shouting to him.

As soon as Song Taizong saw Zhao Heng's nurse, Mrs. Qin Guo, he immediately remembered his own mother, the Li family.

The Li family is a Zhending person, and Taizu heard that he had virtue and hired him for Taizong.

During the Kaibao period, he was crowned the king of Longxi County, and Taizong was enthroned as his wife; Both the two princesses died early, and the second was Yuan Zuo, the king of Chu; The concubine tasted the dream of the sun and forced herself to shine all over the glory of the inheritance, and was shocked to realize that she was born Zhenzong.

Taiping Xingguo is in the second year, and the Chinese New Year's Eve is thirty-four. When Mrs. Li died, Zhao Heng was only nine years old; Song Taizong was very sad and chose Liu's Yuying as Zhao Heng's nurse.

Liu Yuying was a native of Qin, and was later named the Lady of Qin; Liu's Yuying raised Zhao Heng with hard work, and she also paid great attention to Zhao Heng's education; Li Xin, a university scholar, is Zhao Heng's teacher, and Song Taizong is still more at ease with this son.

However, Mrs. Qin suddenly came to the Guanjia Palace, which made Song Taizong very surprised; Song Taizong held the hoe in his hand and shouted to the ground: "Big sister, do you have something?" ”

Song Taizong's shout was in a Hebei accent, which seemed very cordial, but Mrs. Qin Guo did not answer; Just beckoned to him to come over.

A nurse can treat the emperor like this, which shows that the relationship between the two is very unusual.

This can also be imagined, Mrs. Qin, a young woman with green onions, came to the palace to feed the third prince Zhao Heng; There is no man around, can Song Taizong, a playboy who will not let go when he sees a purple woman, not be tempted?

Zhao Guangyi passed Mrs. Hua Rui and Li Yu's queen Xiao Zhou; Lin Xing Xiao Zhou also asked the painter to meticulously trace the movements and become a classic, and it is not logical for Mrs. Lin Xing Qin Guo.

There is no record in the history books about Song Taizong and Qin Guofu, and even if there is, no historian dares to write it; Because Zhao Heng later became the emperor, Zhao Heng regarded Mrs. Qin Guo as his biological mother.

Song Taizong saw that Mrs. Qin Guo was greeting him on the ground, so he threw away the hoe in his hand and strode over.

Mrs. Qin opened her mouth and said, "The Holy One is terrible! San'er comprehended a vixen from the street, and the two were together all day, and the folk women couldn't stop persuading them to do business! ”

Zhao Guangyi exclaimed: "There is such a thing!" Quick, let's go into the temple and say! ”

Song Taizong, accompanied by Wang Jien, Lan Caihe, and a group of eunuchs, went to the Guanjia Hall to meditate. Then let Mrs. Qin Guo retell the words she had just said on the ground.

Liu Shi Yuying got permission from the emperor and chattered: "The third prince went to the Great Xiangguo Temple that day, cooperated with Sangjia Wazi and the monk burning orchestra to celebrate the 43rd birthday of the saint, and befriended a good woman named Liu Min, who is from Shudi; After bringing back to the palace, the two were together all day long, and the woman thought that the demon girl was so lowly how could she be with the prince, and advised San'er to drive the demon girl away; San'er actually said that his head could be broken and bleeding could be shed, and it was impossible to break him and Liu Min; The women had no choice but to come and report to Your Majesty! ”

After Zhao Guangyi listened to Mrs. Qin's troubles, the anger in his heart suddenly rushed to the Heavenly Spirit Gai.

"It's another Sichuan girl!" Zhao Guangyi casually said such a bottomless sentence.

The eunuch Wang Jien on the side, and Lan Caihe, the chief administrator of the inner house, couldn't help but be dumbfounded when they heard it.

After Zhao Guangyi said the above words, he felt speechless, and then he was silent; But in my heart, it is like boiling water.

Why did Zhao Guangyi say the phrase "another Sichuan girl", it was because Mrs. Hua Rui was a Sichuan girl, and the reason why he killed his brother Zhao Kuangyin was because of Mrs. Hua Rui.

There is another thing that seems to be more critical, that is, Zhao Heng comprehends that the excellent woman of Xiangwang's Mansion is named Liu Min; As soon as Zhao Guangyi heard the name Liu Min, he couldn't help but think of Li Min, the chief of the guard when he was the king of Jin, Li Min had an affair with a concubine named Liu Mo of the king of Jin; Later, Li Min was put into the oil pot, and Liu Mo's whereabouts are unknown.

The third prince, Zhao Heng, is not biased or wrong, he is in love with this Youling named Liu Min; There was no reason for Liu Mo to give birth to a daughter outside and rushed to Bianjing to take revenge, and this daughter was Liu Min.

This is also incredible, is this God's retribution to Zhao Jiong (Zhao Guangyi).

Zhao Guangyi didn't speak, he actually left his seat and dodged on the floor of the house, pacing while thinking about the very strange things that happened before.

After the Great Song Dynasty pacified Houshu, Zhao Kuangyin got Mrs. Hua Rui; The frank style of sending Jing Niang for thousands of miles has been completely changed, and she stays with Mrs. Hua Rui all day long.

Zhao Guangyi ate his brother's vinegar greatly, Zhao Guangyi was already bold; He went to the Southern Tang Dynasty after Li Yu's Xiao Zhou; How can Mrs. Flower, the world's best stamen, let it go.

So, he poisoned Mrs. Hua Rui's husband Meng Chang to death with a cup of poisoned wine.

Zhao Guangyi's heartfelt intention of poisoning Meng Chang with poisoned wine was that he wanted to possess Mrs. Hua Rui, but his brother was the emperor's first to take the lead, so he could only look at it.

However, the demon man couldn't hold back the mentality of picking flowers, and Zhao Guangyi saw an opportunity to sneak into the palace and forcibly take possession of Mrs. Hua Rui.

When Mrs. Hua Rui saw that Zhao Guangyi was overlord, she laughed and said that she was going to sue in front of the emperor......
