…

The fourteenth day of the first month.

The Jin army marched towards Zhongjing as scheduled.

On this day, the northwest wind blew fiercely, and it screamed in the wilderness.

Yelu Yujian led the vanguard army to brave the wind and snow, and forcibly marched more than 300 miles day and night.

At dawn, Yelu Yu saw them quietly come to a hill outside the city of Zhongjing.

The wind and snow have stopped, and there is a white and quiet world in front of you.

Yelu Yujian's mood was very excited, according to the intelligence report, Yelu Yanxi was in Zhongjing City at this time.

Yelu Yu imagined what kind of demeanor Yelu Yanxi would have when he was captured?

Yelu Yu is looking forward to taking revenge on Yelu Yanxi!

Liaozhong Beijing was built in 1007, the third year after the alliance of the Yuanyuan.

At that time, the Liao State was at the peak of its prosperity and had sufficient financial resources, therefore, Liaozhongjing was built in imitation of the Bianliang City in Tokyo of the Great Song Dynasty, and it was also composed of the outer city, the inner city and the imperial city - the imperial city was inhabited by Khitan nobles, the inner city was inhabited by Khitan civilians, and the outer city was inhabited by Han, Xi, Bohai, Zubu, Jurchen and other ethnic people, and the levels were very distinct.

The siege began in the morning, and Yelu Yu saw that he rode a black horse and galloped forward in high spirits, and behind him were more than thousands of elite cavalry, all charging towards Zhongjing City.

The first commander of Dajin, Wan Yan Xianye, then led the main force of the Jin army to come and surrounded the Zhongjing City.

The Liao army defending the city learned that it was Yelu Yujian who led the army to attack the city, and soon stopped resisting and surrendered to Kaesong.

Liaozhongjing, one of the five capitals of the Liao State, was seized by the Jin people with almost no effort.

As soon as he entered the city, Yelu Yujian went to find Yelu Yanxi, and he wanted to crush Yelu Yanxi's bones and ashes to avenge his great revenge!

But what made Yelu Yu angry was that Yelu Yanxi had already led his family and guards to escape from the city along a dark passage in the middle of the night......

……

After leaving Yanmen Pass, he walked dozens of miles to the northeast, and the vanguard army on the right did not encounter the Liao army.

This situation was completely unexpected by Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing and others.

You must know that they have stepped on more than a dozen news points of the Liao State along the way, and it is impossible for the Liao State not to find them.

But now that they've been discovered, why don't you send troops to stop them?

……

has the same confusion as Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, and Yang Zaixing, as well as Wu Jue, Wang De, and Lu Junyi.

They crossed the Liufan Ridge and went deep into the Gray River, but they did not encounter a single Liao army.

Wang De frowned and said, "Is it where the Liao army is ambushing?" Otherwise, it wouldn't have been so long, and there would have been no troops. ”

Wu Jue took out the military map of Shuozhou, and looked at it repeatedly with Wang De, Lu Junyi, and a group of staff officers, and finally they unanimously concluded that their previous judgment was not wrong, except for Liufanling, Chenjiagu and Gray River, they had no danger to defend this way.

Wang Deyou was not safe, so he personally went to bring back dozens of locals, and then asked them repeatedly.

As a result, the conclusion remains the same.

Wu Jue pondered for a while and said, "There is only one possibility, the Liao army is not strong enough to go out of the city to meet the battle." ”

Wang De and Lu Junyi also agreed with Wu Jue's judgment, but Wang De couldn't help but ask, "Isn't there any other possibility?" ”

Wu Jue said: "It's useless for us to scare ourselves here, be careful to wade over and know if this is the case." ”

Next, Wu Jue asked Wang De to send three battalions of horse troops to open the road in front of the left, center and right, and then carefully advance to Shuozhou with the remaining foot on the back of the White Army Palace......

……

Didn't the Liao people know that the Song army had entered the clouds?

Of course not.

In fact, as early as when the Right Route Army passed the third inquiry point, the Liao people already knew that the Song army was coming to take advantage of the fire, and they also knew that the Song army did not come with one way, but from two roads, which came in from Yanmen Pass and Chenjiagu respectively.

Knowing that the Song army came out of Yanmen Pass and Chenjiagu to attack Xijing, the Liao people argued!

Some people think that the envoy sent to question the Song army, why did they betray the alliance, cross the border with their troops, and invade the territory of the Liao State?

Some people think that the Liao State is almost over anyway, so it is better to surrender to the Song army to avoid being ruined.

There are also some people who believe that the Song people take advantage of the danger of others, are unreasonable, despicable and shameless, and should fight to the death.

In the end, Xijing stayed behind Xiao Chala, and said against the crowd: "No matter which way you choose, you have to fight first and win." ”

Xiao Chala organized a total of 20,000 people in the Khitan, Bohai, Xi, and Han armies, and equipped them with 40,000 war horses and excellent armor, and then divided one into two, and the warlike generals Yelu Ma Ge and Yelu Buddha Ding led the Song army respectively.

……

Life is a dead and idle thing, and you will not forget it.

These two lines of poetry are about a person - the first guest of the Great Song Dynasty.

The Jin people invaded Bianjing, Tokyo for the first time, and Yuwen was exhausted, made suggestions, and personally entered the Jin camp to deal with the Jin chieftain, and finally the Jin army retreated.

But afterwards, the Song Guoyan official impeached Yuwen for discussing and misleading the country, and he was demoted to Qingzhou and changed to Shaozhou.

In the second year of Jianyan, Zhao Gou sought an envoy to the Jin State, and Yuwen Xuzhong resolutely responded to the edict of Jin, and was later placed under house arrest by Jin.

In the next year, due to the slight loosening of the relationship between Song and Jin, the Jin people let the Song envoy return to Jiangnan, and Yuwen said in a false voice: "The second emperor has not returned, how can I return?" ", and then left alone in the country of tigers and wolves.

Because of Yuwenxu's dignified appearance and outstanding literary talent, Jin people loved his talent and gave him an official title.

Yuwen accepted it happily.

This made the later Song envoy Hong Hao and others despise Yuwen Xuzhong.

In fact, Yuwenxu has greater ambitions in the center, endures humiliation and burdens, and achieves great things in the future - he is in the Jin country, and every time he sends someone to tell him about the reality of the Jin country, every time the Jin people invade the south, he tries his best to dissuade him, and he is really in the Jin camp and the heart is in the Song Dynasty.

What is hateful is that in order to repay Jin Wushu in the Song and Jin peace talks, Qin Hui asked the small court of the Southern Song Dynasty to guarantee that the prime minister could not be easily abolished, so he told the Jin State the truth that Yuwen Xuzhong was a domestic explorer of the Song Dynasty.

Yuwen was informed that Zhao Gou said, "If the Jin people ask for my family, please inform them that my family has long been separated in the Jingkang Rebellion."

Unexpectedly, Zhao Gou not only did not protect this hero, but personally issued an edict to send people to Yuwen Xuzhong's family, who were in Fujian at the time, and did not leave any of them, and all sent people to monitor and send them to Jinguo.

Yuwen Xuzhong, who was betrayed by Zhao Gou and Qin Hui, was killed by the Jin people, and more than 100 members of his family were also slaughtered.

"Jin History" said that Yuwen Xuzhong was killed by the Jurchen nobles with a text case because of his talents, and "History of the Song Dynasty" probably said the same.

Until the Qing Dynasty, when Yuan Mei of the Qing Dynasty excerpted the scattered notes of the Song people Shi Decao in the "Suiyuan Essays", he found such an astonishing record: "In the fifteenth year of Shaoxing, he conspired to blackmail the Yuansheng to return to the south and changed people. Sending troops in a hurry until the gold lord was under the account, the gold lord could hardly get off, and he was punished if he didn't succeed. The courage of the world is singing and crying!

When Yuwen Xuzhong was a national teacher in the Jin Kingdom, he gave Yang An, who made Jin, a "letter of alum", and asked him to send the information back to the Southern Song Dynasty.

The so-called "alum book" refers to the letter written with alum water, which becomes a blank piece of paper as soon as the handwriting of this letter is dry, and it has to be re-dipped in water to show the words, which is an ancient secret letter.

Yuwen was afraid that the alum book would be recognized, so the content of the letter seemed to be just a Buddhist scripture and the "words" after the scriptures at first glance, but in fact, all the secrets were hidden in the words.

In the Varsus it is written:

"Stone Shuanglin, although it has not been born, the weather is already aggressive...... When the heart is firm, there is no advance or retreat, the demons will descend, and my way will win. ”

The so-called "stone" refers to the great stone of Jerod; "Shuanglin" refers to the two forest teeth, that is, Yelu Dashi Forest Tooth and Yelu Buddha Ding Forest Tooth; "Demon general" refers to the Jurchens; "Wu Dao" refers to the Southern Song Dynasty.

This passage seems to be the nonsense of some gods and ghosts, but the real meaning is that the power of Yelu Dashi and Yelu Buddha has become extremely large recently, if you can contact them and ask them to attack the Jin country on a large scale, our Song country will have the hope of recovering the Central Plains.

Yuwen Xuzhong hoped that Yang An would pass this book to Zhang Jun, and then Zhang Jun would report it to Zhao Gou.

At that time, Yelu Dashi had already established the Western Liao, and his elite soldiers were innumerable, and he was ready to send 70,000 cavalry to kill back, and Yelu Buddha Ding also gathered tens of thousands of cavalry in Kedun City, if they could get in touch and attack the Jin State, the Southern Song Dynasty had a great possibility to subdue the old land north of the Yangtze River.

It's a pity that Zhao Gou only thinks about surrender and peace talks, and does not expect to restore the Central Plains and reorganize the rivers and mountains.

Yelu Dashi will not talk about it, that is one of the most powerful heroes in history, that is the top talent who can dominate Central Asia, and that is the top general who burst the bubble of the Northern Song Dynasty when the Liao State was extremely weak.

And this Yelu Buddha top, although not comparable to Yelu Dashi, but also a rare talent, at least now including for a long time in the future, he is as famous as Yelu Dashi, and called "Shuanglin".

The one who led the troops to stop Yue Fei, Zhang Xian, Yang Zaixing and others this time was the 10,000 horse army led by Yelu Buddha, the southwest envoy.

Although it took a lot of time to gather soldiers and horses, the Yanbei Plain was the home of the Liao State, so the Liao army still took the initiative in this battle.

Through the news transmitted from the signal, Yelu Buddha deduced that the Song army that came out of Yanmen Pass must have come to attack Yingzhou.

Based on this, Yelu Buddha chose to fight it in Heyin.

In the land of Heyin, there is a small river of different depths, and the army that is not familiar with the terrain is bound to fall into passivity when crossing this small river.

In addition, more than two miles away from Heyin, there is a pine forest, which can hide thousands of people and horses.

After arriving in Heyin, Yelu Buddha immediately sent his generals to hide in the pine forest with 3,000 horses, preparing to use these 3,000 horses as the winner.

After the arrangements were made, Yelu Buddha sent a scout horse to find out the dynamics of the Song army, while resting, preparing to defeat the invading enemy in the best condition......
