The importance of Luoyang's origin, and the strategic results achieve the goal

Luoyang is a big city, and now Yelu Long continues to lead the army to drive straight into Luoyang, attacking Luoyang, why not Yelu Long continues to attack Chang'an by himself, in his opinion, the importance of Luoyang is no worse than Chang'an, although he has experienced the battle of Chang'an, but the situation in Luoyang is by no means as simple as he thought? Yelu Longxu also looked at the battle report above, Yelu Chunan looked at the emperor and didn't know how to speak, Yelu Longxu was full of joy and anger, and his scheming was unfathomable!

Yelu Chunan also smiled at Emperor Yelu Long and said, "What happened to Your Majesty, could it be that our attack on Chang'an has failed?" Or what's wrong! Please make it clear to the emperor! ”

Yelu Longxu also patted him with a smile, and then said: "Chu Nanzhen has been fighting in the south and north for a long time, but he has also always paid attention to the changes in Chang'an City, Chang'an and Luoyang are both strategic places in the Great Song Dynasty, and now my Great Liao soldiers and horses have completely taken Chang'an, and Chang'an has now become my land, and now we want to take the entire land of Hebei, we must take Luoyang, and as long as Hebei is taken by our Great Liao, the Central Plains will become my Great Liao's bag sooner or later, and now the Song army in Chang'an has completely surrendered, It's time to think about the attack on Luoyang? The herald ordered the three armies to attack Luoyang after the food and grass were ready, and eliminate the defenders of Luoyang in the north. ”

Yelu Chunan also smiled and said: "Congratulations to Your Majesty, congratulations to Your Majesty, but Your Majesty heard a news that Luoyang is holding the wife of Zhao Kuangyin, the queen of the Song Dynasty, and Zhao Guangyi got her here after succeeding to the throne, it seems that the surname is Song, Weichen thinks we can do it slowly this time?" After all, to deal with such a Song Dynasty Luoyang guard, we must learn to use a means, otherwise it will always be our group of people who will suffer? ”

In the ninth year of Kaibao, that is, in October 976, the founding emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, Zhao Kuangyin, died suddenly. After learning the news, Empress Taizu Song (the third queen of Song Taizu) hurriedly sent Wang Jien, a eunuch in the palace, out of the palace to pass on Taizu's son Zhao Defang to enter the palace to inherit the unification. It's just that he didn't expect that this eunuch had already been bought by Zhao Guangyi, and after he left the palace, he directly notified Zhao Guangyi to plan in advance.

In the 16th year of the Taizu Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi managed his own forces and had many followers. When Zhao Guangyi came to the palace, Empress Song, who was only 24 years old at the time, already felt that the general trend had gone, and had no choice but to accept the reality of Zhao Guangyi's succession to the throne in order to protect herself and Taizu's sons. As the queen of the previous dynasty, Zhao Guangyi's sister-in-law should have been respected and treated kindly. It's a pity that Zhao Guangyi is a ruthless villain.

In order to create the fact of inheriting the throne, Zhao Guangyi directly violated the practice of changing the era name in the second year after the new monarch succeeded to the throne, and changed the ninth year of Kaibao to the first year of Taiping Xingguo. In the second year, it was decreed that Empress Song should move to the West Palace, and the dignified Empress Taizu of the Song Dynasty was placed in the West Palace where the concubines lived. In the face of the strong Zhao Guangyi, Song Hou was also powerless to resist.

Next, Song Taizu's sons Dezhao and Defang died one after another, and the government and the opposition talked about it. However, in the face of criticism, Song Taizong once again pointed the finger at the imperial sister-in-law, and ordered the imperial sister-in-law to move away from Feng and move to Luoyang Palace. Empress Song's relatives died one after another for unknown reasons, and Song Taizong's coldness and ruthlessness caused her to be depressed and unhappy all year round, and she died of illness in 995.

The death of the empress of the first dynasty was a state funeral. Unexpectedly, Song Taizong did not wear filial piety clothes for the imperial sister-in-law, and forbade the courtiers to come to the funeral to mourn. Some courtiers bluntly said that those who wrote were directly demoted by him to the place where they were distributed. Secondly, Zhao Guangyi did not mourn Queen Song, and put the coffin of Queen Song on the princess's mansion of Song Taizu's deceased sister, and it was two years after that.

Until 997 A.D., it was forced by the discussion of the people and the courtiers. Song Taizong buried the imperial sister-in-law in the northwest of the Yongchang Mausoleum of Song Taizu, but the Song Empress did not put the title of the god into the Taimiao. Although the Empress of the Song Dynasty was able to be buried two years after her death, the mausoleum of the Empress of the Song Dynasty only has a tomb, and there are no stone statues and other ceremonial buildings. You must know that the tomb of the queen of the Song Dynasty is the same as the imperial tomb, but the scale is only one-third of the emperor's tomb, and there are only 32 Shinto stone statues.

Song Taizong's indifference to his widowed sister-in-law and his various behaviors towards Taizu's descendants can only show that he is weak in heart and his imperial throne is not right. This is a famous mystery in history, "Candle Shadow Axe". Song Taizong's ruthlessness towards the imperial sister-in-law was also criticized, and historical documents such as "History of the Song Dynasty" and "Continuation of Capital and Governance Tongjian" have severely criticized and questioned Song Taizong's behavior.

After all, Song Taizong would not have thought that 120 years later, the "shame of Jingkang" would cause his descendants to be almost all captured and killed by foreign tribes, and finally the throne would return to the hands of Taizu's descendants.

Yelu Long continued to smile and said: "Good idea, the queen of the Song Dynasty is here, if we catch her, it will be a great thing for us to take Luoyang in Daliao, although Luoyang is a military powerhouse, but the Great Song Dynasty does not attach much importance to this place, which has caused us a great good thing, it is very easy for us to capture Luoyang, but we must ensure that this plan is successful, only by using this Song Empress, I heard that Zhao Guangyi, the emperor of the Song Dynasty, is not the death of his father and the succession of his son, but the son is nothing, Then let's say that the Song Dynasty is not right, our Da Liao army is just to help the Song Empress get justice, the Central Plains is an old saying called borrowing, this time our Da Liao can not only control Luoyang, but also control this Song Queen, I want to see him Zhao Guangyi cast a mouse bogey, what is the current appearance, this time the final winner will belong to our Da Liao country, haha. ”

Yelu Chunan secretly thought in his heart that the emperor was too terrible, sometimes he really didn't know what the emperor was thinking, he could do such an insidious and cunning thing, being too insidious as an emperor really made people a little unsure whether they should be afraid, this emperor was too vicious in his heart, and he would come up with a woman to deal with the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, but his Yelu Long's terrible was far from being so simple. At this moment, he himself can only say that the emperor is wise, long live my emperor, long live, long live! Then Yelu Longxu gathered his men and launched a new round of attack.

The army outside Luoyang City launched a fierce attack again, and the fire-breathing bombs bombarded the city, and there were not many people in the city, only 10,000 or 20,000 horses, and the supervision army here was also because the fighters began to attack suddenly and were ambushed by the Liao army, resulting in the failure of the 100,000 army? The army in the city fought bloodily and had no choice but to have a huge disparity in military strength, and it was also because of the lack of chariots in the Great Song Dynasty, which led to the opening of the gate of the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty wanted to block it, but the cavalry of the Great Liao blindly charged, resulting in countless casualties among the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and there were only a few hundred people in the tens of thousands of troops. The people of the Song Dynasty wanted to escape, but because Yelulong's army blocked the passage, they have now returned to their homes. The Liao army also lost thousands of people in this battle of Luoyang, although they protected it properly, but the war was always ruthless. The officials of the Song Dynasty are selfish, they want to protect this queen, but their own ability is still limited, it is better to flee back As for the future, it is better to talk about it later? Luoyang of the Great Song Dynasty did not completely occupy Luoyang of the Liao State, and the Great Song Dynasty lost Luoyang Chang'an, which changed from active defense to passive defense, and Hebei of the Great Song Dynasty became the seat of the Liao State, and the land was suddenly stronger than the Great Song Dynasty.
