…

Hearing that Li Yan was going to have a decisive battle with Emperor Tianzuo, Emperor Tianxi Yeluchun was shocked!

Don't blame Yeluchun for being like this.

Because this means that Li Yan and Emperor Tianzuo are about to split the winner and loser.

And no matter who wins Li Yan or Emperor Tianzuo, the next step will definitely be to destroy his regime.

Let's ask, how could Yeluchun not be worried?

In addition, the Jin army in the north swept everywhere and hoarded a large army in Bei'anzhou, eyeing Gubeikou.

Yeluchun considered it again and again, and finally made a choice:

"I won the throne, I wanted to protect the temple with Qing and others, but now the Jurchen cavalry has reached Gubei, Li Yan has occupied Xijing and Yundi, and the heavy troops of the Great Song Dynasty are on the border...... After thinking about it, I think that instead of throwing myself to the Jurchens and Li Yan, it is better to call the Song Dynasty a vassal and equal to the Qing to protect the blood, what do you think? ”

After speaking, Yeluchun lowered his head and hid his face and sobbed.

Xiao Puxiannu, Li Chuwen and others also quietly wept, only Zuo Qigong did not shed tears, but he also shook his head and sighed.

On the same day, Xiao Ao and Zhang Jue came to the Pure Scale Temple to see Ma Kuo, and also brought gifts such as Jinqi clothes and silver silk to Ma Kuo.

Xiao Ao said: "We have received a holy decree, asking Ma Xuanzan to leave for China immediately, and our court will send the secretary Lang Wang Jieru and the capital official Wang Zhongsun to go to the Xuanfu Division in Xiongzhou with you to discuss the matter of claiming the domain. ”

Hearing that Ye Luchun was preparing to claim the throne, Ma Kuo was overjoyed!

This is equivalent to completing the middle policy formulated by Zhao Ji, and as an envoy who said that Yeluchun was called a vassal, Ma Kuo will definitely have a rich reward.

However, Ma Kuo did not get carried away, but said very calmly: "I didn't see the Nine Kings reply, Ma didn't dare to go back, let alone take bribes." ”

Xiao Ao was stunned!

Zhang Jue walked up to Ma Kuo quickly and whispered, "Why is Xuanzan so dead-eyed? When do you dare to stay in Yanjing? Aren't you afraid that Your Majesty will kill you in a fit of rage? ”

Ma Kuo said with a smile: "As soon as he came, he took the completion of the mission as his duty, and did not hide it from Langzhong, when he crossed the Baigou River in the north, he had put life and death out of the way." ”

Ma Kuo's bravery was admired by everyone.

Xiao Ao and Zhang Jue returned to Yeluchun's place and invited Ye Luchun's handwritten letter for Ma Kuo.

It can be said that Ma Kuo's mission was extremely successful.

If it weren't for the repeated defeats of the Song army, and the death of Yeluchun soon after, the desperate Northern Liao would probably soon claim tribute to the Northern Song Dynasty.

At that time, the Northern Song Dynasty sent troops to help the Northern Liao keep the Yan land, and the Northern Liao and the Northern Song Dynasty would not have perished one after another.

It is fair to say here that Zhao Ji chose to send troops north to recover Yanjing at this time, which is actually not wrong in itself, especially since Zhao Ji also gave the multiple choice of Nabei Liao as a vassal.

It's a pity that during the years of Zhao Ji's reign, he was too poor and extravagant, seriously overdrew the national strength of the Northern Song Dynasty, and did not cultivate his army, so that even if he had this golden opportunity, it did not belong to him, and he would be burned.

……

After being defeated by Yelu Dashi and protected by Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao, although he was holding his breath in his heart, Yang Keshi still meticulously carried out the orders issued by the Xuanfu Division.

On the day he took office, Yang Keshi sent his general Zhao Ming to lead his troops to the bank of the Baigou River, and then planted the yellow list banner used for recruitment on the riverbank.

The next day, the Liao army also confronted the Song army across the river.

The commander of the Liao army on the other side of the river was still Yelu Dashi, and after he defeated Yang Keshi in Langoudian, Yelu Chun gave him another 30,000 troops and ordered him to lead his army to garrison the Baigou River.

There is a bridge on the Baigou River, the southern end of the bridge is controlled by the Song army, and the northern end of the bridge is controlled by the Liao army.

The two sides confronted each other across the bridge.

On this day, Zhao Ming may have been on a whim, and he actually sent someone to insert the big flag that had been planted on the river bank to the center of the bridge.

The big flag fluttered in the wind, the hunting sounded, and the soldiers of the Liao army saw it very dazzlingly.

Zhao Ming organized soldiers to shout to Qiaobei as before, asking the Liao army to come and surrender.

Suddenly, a Liao soldier ran to the middle of the bridge to take the Huangbang Banner, and then went back to hand it to Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi took the yellow flag and looked at it, then tore it up and threw it on the ground, scolding: "There is nothing to say, there is just death!" Then he ordered the Liao army to attack.

The soldiers of the Liao army also hated the Song army who took advantage of the fire to rob the bones, especially when they were defeated by the Jurchens and defeated the Song army again and again, almost every Liao army soldier was thinking: "If we can't beat the Jurchens, can't we beat you despicable Song people?" ”

Therefore, after receiving the order of Yelu Dashi, the Liao soldiers immediately tried their best to shoot at the Song army, and the result was a rain of arrows.

The Song army was defenseless and suffered numerous wounds.

Because of the order of the Xuanfu Division, Zhao Ming did not dare to order a counterattack.

Seeing that the Song army did not fight back, Yelu Dashi gathered his team and planned to launch an assault on the river bridge.

Seeing this, Zhao Ming hurriedly sent someone to gallop and fly to report to the breeder.

The seed master Dao decisively ordered: "Once the blade is connected, An Neng will die if he is tied?" If the Liao army crosses the border, it will fight back, and the victory will be meritorious. ”

He Shu hurriedly stopped: "No." Have you forgotten the official decree and the instructions of Master Tong? ”

The generals said indignantly: "Can you get Yanjing without fighting back? "If the soldiers can recover Yanjing without bloodshed, then why mobilize the army? "He Zhizhou is willing to sit and accept his reward, my generation has no such cheeks! ”……

Among them, Yang Keshi is the most, he has long been fed up with this order that he can't fight back, so he got up angrily and said, "If you don't fight, why did my generation come?" ”

It turned out that during this period of confrontation, the Liao army could wantonly kill the soldiers of the Song army, but the Song army was unable to fight back because of the military order, so that the whole army was holding back a fire of resignation.

As the commander-in-chief of the front line, Seed Master Dao deeply experienced this kind of bending, and the Liao army was about to cross the river, so he couldn't wait to be killed, so Seed Master Dao ignored He Xu's words and sent Yang Keshi to wait for the opportunity to fight.

Yang Keshi soon led his headquarters to the Baigou River.

As soon as he arrived, Yang Keshi divided half of his troops and horses to Zhao Ming, and asked him to command the soldiers to guard the bridge and beware of the Liao army rushing over.

Suddenly, Yang Keshi found that an officer of the Liao army on the north bank of the river was waving his flag to command, and the cavalry of the Liao army were heading west.

Yang Keshi said to his generals: "There must be a place to wade in the upper reaches of the river, and troops must be divided to fight them." ”

At this time, the seed master Dao sent Zhao De, a veteran of Jingyuan, to lead the army to reinforcements.

When Yang Keshi saw this, he shouted to Zhao De: "Hurry up and go west!" There may be a Liao army crossing the river to the west! ”

Before Zhao De could go, the Liao army had already crossed the river from the upper reaches and galloped over.

The Liao army that crossed the river, although the number was small, was violent.

When Zhao De saw this, he wanted to avoid his edge.

Seeing this, Yang Keshi scolded: "Old horseman, Ande escaped? How can you repay the kindness of the country! ”

Yang Keshi rode away from the river bridge and personally faced the enemy from the west.

The Liao army took the opportunity to rush across the Baigou River Bridge, divided the left and right wings with the Liao army coming from the west, and surrounded the Song army.

Yang Keshi's department held back a fire, and fought with the Liao army to the death, Yang Keshi even rushed to the opposite bank for a time, and almost had a king against a king with Yelu Dashi.

Pity!

The Liao army is also holding back, and it is also not afraid of death, the key is that there are more men and horses than the Song army.

The two sides fought a bloody battle on both sides of the Baigou River.

After fighting for nearly an hour, Zhao Ming was hit by an arrow in his arm, and his department had been defeated and retreated, Yang Keshi was hit by an iron thistle arrow in his body, injured his bones, and his blood flowed all over his boots. Yang Keshi is known as "ten thousand enemies", and he does live up to his name.

Later, the planter Daoqin led a large army to come and expel the Liao army to the north bank of the river.

That night, in order to prevent the Liao army from crossing the river and sneaking attack, the planting master ordered "the four generals, the golden drum".

Yelu Dashi did have the intention of crossing the river at night to attack, but he heard the drumming on the south bank all night, and suspected that the Song army might take advantage of the night to go north, so he ordered the whole army to remain on alert.

After dawn, Yelu Dashi led the army to the river bank, only to see that the Song army on the other side of the river held the barrier and was heavily guarded, so he did not dare to rashly cross the river to fight, and the two armies formed a confrontation across the river.

On the same day, Xin Xingzong led the Western Route Army to enter Fan Village as planned.

There was a lonely mountain in the east of Fancun Village, and to the surprise of the Song army, Xiao Gan, the king of the Fourth Army of Northern Liao and the envoy of the Northern Privy Council, dared to quietly climb the lonely mountain.

Xiao Gan saw that the Song army was new and unprepared, so he went back to attack the army in person.

(In fact, the reason why Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan launched an attack on the Song army at the same time was also related to Yelu Chun's preparation to claim vassal to the Song State, and they were angry with the Song State, thinking that the Great Song Dynasty had broken the century-old covenant, reversed its word, was very dishonest, played cautiously, and was not reliable at all, so they would rather die in battle than surrender to the Song State.) ）

Soon, Xiao Gan led his army to come, and then suddenly launched an attack on Fan Village.

Wang Yuan, the former general of the Song army, as well as Song Jiang, Liu Guangyuan, Zhai Jin, Zhao Xu and other generals, each led his troops to engage the Liao army.

But the Liao army attacked fiercely, and actually surrounded the generals of the Song army under the lonely mountain, and the main general Wang Yuan was shot and almost fell off his horse.

When the victory or defeat was undecided, Xin Xingzong personally went out of the army, and the above generals supervised the battle before Xiao Gan was repulsed.

Soon, the Xuanfu Division sent a document ordering the seed master to discuss with the generals whether to withdraw from the army?

Seed Master Dao immediately convened a meeting with He Xu, Yang Keshi and others.

After these two battles, the generals unanimously agreed that the strength of the Liao army still existed, and it was probably difficult to win without transferring the main force of the Western Army, so it was better to return to Shixiongzhou first, and then discuss the next step.

Now the two armies are facing each other across the river, and if they retreat suddenly, they will show their weakness, and if the Liao army takes the opportunity to pursue, the result is difficult to predict.

The seed master felt that what He Shu said still had some truth, so he asked him to write a report on this opinion and report it to the Xuanfu Division.

Tong Guan was very dissatisfied with the performance of the Eastern and Western Route Army.

At the beginning, when the troops were dispatched, Tong Guanman thought that he could deter the Liao army, and even fantasized that he could recover Yanjing in one fell swoop.

Unexpectedly, after fighting with the Liao army, not only did he not win, but he also fell a little behind.

Faced with this situation, Tong Guan decided to implement the next strategy of Zhao Ji's three strategies for patrolling the border, that is, "return the whole division".

Later, Tong Guan ordered the Eastern Route Army to retreat to Xiongzhou, and Xin Xingzong to lead the Western Route Army to retreat to the Guangxin Army.

After receiving Tong Guan's withdrawal order, Seed Master Dao planned to organize the withdrawal immediately.

Yang Keshi said to the seed master: "Now the arrogance of the Liao army is very arrogant, if you know that our army has the intention of retreating, it will definitely attack later." ”

The planter thinks so.

At dusk, the seed master Dao ordered to quietly retreat a large number of baggage south.

In the middle of the night, the army began to retreat south, and the planter ordered the elite military horses to cover behind the palace.

Although the Song army wanted to withdraw secretly, it was discovered by the Liao army.

When Yelu Dashi got the news, he immediately rode to the riverbank and looked at the south bank.

Seeing that the main force of the Song army had indeed withdrawn, leaving only a small number of soldiers and horses to guard the pass, Yelu Dashi immediately sent someone to report to Xiao Gan, and at the same time ordered the light cavalry to immediately assemble and cross the river to pursue.

The Baigou River is only thirty miles away from Xiongzhou, and there is a place called the ancient city in the middle, where the Liao army caught up with the Song army.

The two armies met each other and fought fiercely.

In real time, the north wind, heavy rain, and hail are like fists, and people can't look at each other.

But despite the environment, Yelu Dashi and his Liao cavalry still held on to the Song army.

The superiority of the horse army over the infantry army was vividly demonstrated in this battle.

The elite military horses of the Song army in charge of the palace were quickly defeated by the Liao cavalry several times the number, and then the Liao cavalry covered all the way, the Song army was defeated, and even the commander of the division and the supervising army Cui Shi almost died under this wave of attacks of the Liao army.

After Tong Guan got the news, he immediately ordered that the army should not enter the city - Tong Guan was worried that the Song army would introduce Liao soldiers into the city when it entered the city, in which case, Xiongzhou might fall into the hands of the Liao army, so he ordered the city gate to be closed.

Seeing this, the soldiers of the Song army shouted one after another: "Don't close the city gate!" ”

But Tong Guan turned a deaf ear.

Not long after, Yang Keshi and his son-in-law Ma Yanchuan and general Yang Weizhong of the Western Route Army also came to the city and fought fiercely with the Liao army.

(There is a question here, the historical records say, "Xingzong sent Yang Keshi to the aid of the central general", which should be impossible, because Yang Keshi was in the Eastern Route Army at this time, I don't know if it was a mistake in the record, or there were two Yang Keshi in the Song army?) ）

Tong Guan stood on the tower of the city and watched the battle.

Seeing that the battle outside the city was fierce, Tong Guan sent Xin Qizong and Xin Yongzong to lead the Shengjie army out of the city for reinforcements.

Although the discipline of the Shengjie Army is not good, it is still very capable of playing at critical moments.

After the Shengjie army joined the battle group, the Liao army's attack immediately slowed down.

Seeing that he could not produce greater results, Yelu Dashi retreated with the Liao army.

In this battle, from the south of Xiongzhou, the north of Mozhou, between Tangbo, and the west of Xiongzhou, Baozhou, Zhending, the dead corpses pillowed each other, invincible, and the armor was heavy and wild.

In the evening, the seed master Dao received an order from the Xuanfu Division, ordering him to camp outside Xiongzhou City, gather his team, and stand by in place.

Although the wind and rain have stopped, the sky is still gray, and the ground is full of standing water and mud.

Seed Master Dao stared at the dark and dreary sky, his mood was extremely complicated, he knew that he was in a catastrophe, although this defeat was not his fault alone.

Tong Guan on the city wall in the distance, his face sank like water, "Who is responsible for this defeat?" ”

Tong Guan and Seed Master Dao quickly looked at each other......
