There is no doubt that Zheng Shuang must win this battle; It was not only him who left a big word in front of Song Zhenzong in the court - to smash the southern invasion of the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State.

Because this victory is related to the confidence of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs and the emotions of the people of the capital, more than half of the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs have a fear of Liao; This is particularly evident in the treatment of Yang Jiajiang.

The Yang family will resist Liao for three generations, and the old Linggong Yang Ye paid blood and life for the resistance to Liao; Yang Yanzhao, the son of Lao Linggong, Yang Wenguang, the son of Yang Yanzhao; Guarding the border all year round, fighting a small battle with the Liao army for two days and a big battle in five days; Tie your head to your trouser belt and tie it to be loyal to your country.

However, the main peace faction led by Wang Qinruo in the imperial court, that is, the surrender faction, did not stop attacking the Yang generals, and the surrender faction said that the reason why the Liao people unscrupulously harassed the border of the Song state; It's all the fault of the Yang family.

For example, when it comes to fetching water, there was a shortage of water for people and animals that year due to drought; Both Song and Liao were short of water.

The soldiers of the Liao army covered the people to cross the border and occupy the water source of the Song State, and fought with the Song army led by Yang Yanzhao; Caused several large-scale battles in two hits.

These righteous battles were said by the capitulation faction that Yang Yanzhao deliberately provoked the incident and demanded punishment from the imperial court.

The minister who insisted on justice retorted: The people of the Song State are short of water, and the people of the Song State are also short of water; The Liao army covered the people to enter the Song realm and forcibly occupied the water source, and Yang Yanzhao led the army to expel them, which was to defend the resources and people of his country; How can it be said that it provoked a border war.

The surrender faction was speechless, but generals like Yang Yanzhao were not promoted to official ranks; Yang Yanzhao has been a five-grade officer at the border for decades, and if it weren't for Zheng Shuang, Qin Shihuang, and Kou Zhun insisting on letting Yang Yanzhao sit as the privy deputy envoy this time, the Yang family would not have been able to enter the central department of the imperial court after fighting for more than ten generations.

There is also the mood of the common people in Bianjing, the reason why Kou Zhun received the report of the border pass and did not publicize the detention was that the people of the capital fled in panic after learning the news of the Liao army's southward movement and became confused.

On the way to Liyangdu, Zheng Shuang had already seen many people fleeing from their hometowns, saying that the Liao army was powerful and the imperial army was not an opponent; It's best to get out of the way as soon as possible.

Zheng Shuang couldn't forget the court meeting presided over by Song Zhenzong, and most of the ministers of civil and military affairs were terrified when they heard that the Liao soldiers were going south; The surrender faction and the escape faction took the opportunity to make waves and offer the emperor to move the capital.

Ministers such as Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosu were even more demonic and confusing the public, advising the emperor to move the capital to Jinling or Chengdu.

Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo's views were completely denied by Zheng Shuang and Kou Zhun and the main battle faction, and Song Zhenzong wisely stood on the side of the main battle faction; The surrendering faction Wang Qinruo was demoted to the Tianxiong Army as a judge, and the main battle faction won a decisive victory in the court.

Based on this situation, Zheng Shuang's battle must be fought to the Liao army looking for teeth.

Zheng Shuang, a quiet little Hebei, was caught in his eyelids, and the poplars standing tall by the river made a "whooshing" sound with the wind.

The willow tree is like a shy lady in the wind, throwing her head full of green silk to the water; When the wind blows, the willow branches gently blow across the water; The ripples on the surface of the river spread in all directions.

The scenery is so pleasant, and behind the pleasant scenery lies the bloody slaughter.

There were a few horseback riders on the road, and they were Chun Yu Wanyun, Sun Jincao, Ye Lingfang, Shi Lidan, and Renduo Xuelian 5 people.

5 people are followed by a team of more than 200 red-sleeved Tianxiang girls with fish, water, Ying'er, and apricots.

More than 200 girls were followed by three men, Wu Wei, Ba Si, and Hou Fang, who were armed with leather whips and swords.

Zheng Shuang saw Chun Yu Wanyun and his party on the road, so he was accompanied by Lang Zhen; A part of the Flying Dragon, Flying Eagle, Flying Bear, and Flying Leopard who led the loyal and brave army of the Great Song Dynasty to march to Yunmeng Mountain, Yunmeng Valley.

And Wei Yan led the Iron Falcon Army to disappear from people's field of vision, and the Iron Falcon Army wanted to go deep into the mezzanine section of the Liao Army to intercept and obstruct Xiao Xuan's brigade; and harass Xiao Tzu Rin's 300 Sini Iron Riders from behind.

Only some of the firearms, crossbowmen, manipulators, pikemen, and axe men led by Qin Shi Huang remained in the Jiaochang battalion, and they had to hold out here for a while to prevent the Liao army from smuggling into Liyangjin, and at the same time wait for an opportunity to attack Xiao Tzulin's Sini Iron Cavalry Front; Make it turn around and ...... to the west

After Xiao Tart Rin knocked Wei Chun off his horse, he saw that he was not dead, so he asked his subordinates to tie him up.

His subordinates tied up Wei Chun, and Wei Sheng rushed to the rescue; was beaten by Xiao Tzu Rin and fled.

The direction of Wei Sheng's escape was Liyangdu, which was the place where Xiao Tzu Rin's 300 Sinian Iron Cavalry was about to go; Wei Sheng ran in that direction, which was enough to show that the Song army had reached Liyangdu.

Once the Song army reached Liyangdu, it would undoubtedly be a heavy blow to Xiao Tzu Rin's Sini Iron Cavalry.

The Sini Iron Horse was blocked by the people of the Song Dynasty for two days by the artificial river, and the arrow clusters, stone throwers, and earth-shaking thunder in the hands of the people were enough for the Liao army to drink a pot, and the appearance of the regular army of the Song army was naturally 10 times more powerful than the people.

Xiao Tzu Rin knew that the forbidden army of the Song army was not a tangled group of people who were said to be grass chickens and tofu, but samurai with high military literacy after strict training.

The reason why the Song army was defeated by the Liao army many times was not that they signaled that the infantry would be the mainstay; The cavalry was very small.

There was also an emperor named Zhao Guangyi, who actually drew a map of ten thousand arrays in the palace and handed it to the generals who went out on the expedition; It is strange that the general should fight exactly according to his ten thousand array diagram on the battlefield, and such pedantic and dogmatic tactics are undefeated.

However, the formation of the Song army's infantry also allowed the cavalry of the Liao army to eliminate losses, and Xiao Tzulin's Sini iron cavalry was formed after absorbing the cavalry from the formation laid by the Song army.

Since there was the Sini Iron Horse, Xiao Tzu Rin was indeed invincible; The infantry of the Song army could no longer stop the offensive of the Sini iron cavalry and horses, and they were defeated one after another.

Prior to this, Xiao Tzu Rin sent several waves of spies to the banks of the Yellow River to reconnoitre, saying that there was no Song army on the side of Liyangjin and Baimajin; Xiao Tzu Rin was secretly happy in her heart.

Xiao Tzu Rin looked at the map at that time and calculated, and estimated that there were still more than 100 miles of Dao Liyangjin where the Sini Iron Cavalry was stationed.

Once the Sini Iron Cavalry successfully arrived at Liyangjin, crossed the pontoon bridge on the Yellow River and reached Baimajin on the other side, then the distance of more than 100 miles was like a horse running on the grassland for the Sini Iron Cavalry; It didn't take much effort, and one foot stepped into the sour jujube gate of Bianliang City.

Xiao Tzu Rin was very happy after reading the map, and couldn't help reciting the poems of the Tang Dynasty poet Gao Shi:

Gaoguan Zhang Dengjiu reopened,

The night bell and the waning moon and geese return.

Only the cry of the bird can be a couple,

There is no spring breeze to see off.

The Yellow River is on the shore of Qulisha,

White horse Tsu side willow to the city.

Don't complain about parting for a while,

Zhijun is greeted everywhere.

He thought that only Han Chinese could recite Tang poetry, which has been the cultural heritage of the entire human race since its birth; Xiao Tzulin, a Khitan person, has an even higher level of Chinese than the Central Plains.

After Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji established the Khitan State, he appointed Han Yanhui as the prime minister (the ancestor of Han Derang); The promotion of Han culture also created the Khitan language.

The royal family and descendants of the Khitan family are required to speak two languages, the "Four Books and Five Classics" of the Central Plains, poetry and songs; It was listed as a model for the children of Khitan nobles to study.

Xiao Tzu Rin is the descendant of Zheng'er Bajing, the younger brother of the Empress Dowager Xiao Xuan, and it is not easy to read a few Tang poems?

Xiao Tzu Rin impassionedly recited Gao Shi's "Farewell to Weisshi" from the Chinese army's tent and urged Sini to ride on the road.

Seeing the people of the Song Kingdom retreating from the Wei River from a distance, Xiao Tzu Rin's anger did not come out of one place; Let the Sinian Iron Rider speed up and catch up.

More than 100 ordinary people of the Song Kingdom all entered the range of the crossbowmen of the Sini Iron Cavalry, and the crossbowmen opened their bows and arrows and prepared to shoot; The two men and two horses rushed over, and the two machetes knocked all the crossbowmen's crossbows to the ground, and cut off the heads of the two knights; The wrists of a dozen soldiers were chopped off.

At that time, Xiao Tzu Rin was in the Chinese army, and the soldiers in front came to report that the two southern barbarians rushed over and were extremely fierce.

Xiao Tzu Rin picked up the knife and stabbed him diagonally, and when he saw Wei Chun, he slashed with a flat knife and planned to cut off his head; But Wei Sheng, who was not far away, reminded Wei Chun that his head was lowered, and Xiao Tzu Rin's big blade did not cut off Wei Chun's head, but chopped it on his helmet.

Wei Chun was knocked off the horse, and Xiao Tart Rin thought Wei Chun was dead; But he didn't die, so he had his men tied up and tied to a big tree by the side of the road for questioning.

"What's your name? Which unit of the Southern Dynasty was it? Xiao Tzu Rin actually asked Wei Chun in a fluent shout.

Wei Chun glanced at Xiao Tzu Rin disdainfully, and snorted coldly: "If you want to kill, kill it!" Sensei wants to ask a word from his grandfather's mouth! ”

Xiao Tzu Rin's face turned blue with anger, and he was about to commit violence against Wei Chun, but he heard that there were spies from the north and south to report that the Song army had killed him......
