Volume 1: Heroes Gather Chapter 207: The Emperor Brags (3)

Song Zhenzong was very excited when he heard the news of the great victory ahead, saying that this was a good luck and auspicious omen, and immediately set up a banquet to celebrate.

The royal feast was sumptuous, and the soldiers enjoyed the delicacies; Song Zhenzong also had the ingenuity to show the might of the Song army.

Therefore, he ordered the commander of Wang Chao in front of the palace, and Zhang Jin, the Marquis of Yu, as the left vanguard in front of the palace; The big array came and went, and Wang Qian, the head of the Ma army, was the right vanguard; Wang Rong, the defense envoy of Binzhou, and Wang Jizhong, the deputy head of the Ma Bu Army, were the pioneers; An unprecedented grand military parade was held on the outskirts of the Daimyo Mansion, an important town in Hebei.

At the parade scene, Song Zhenzong wore armor and robes to sit in the Chinese army; The gold-armored warriors lined up, and the privy envoy Wang Xian and the privy deputy envoy Song Xiang were in the rear.

Zhao Heng is like a monarch who fights in all directions and wins thousands of miles; Eight sides are majestic, and they have enough face.

Later, Song Zhenzong sent an envoy to Hebei County, telling them that the Son of Heaven had arrived at the Daimyo's Mansion; To sweep away the invading Liao army thief leader Yelu Longqing, let Shi Baoji and Shangguan Zheng lead the vanguard soldiers and horses from the Daimyo Mansion to the north; Rendezvous with Dingzhou Fu Qian's part of the attack to break the invading Liao army.

Shi Baoji was very considerate of the dragon body of the Long Live Lord, and took a heavy and slow walk; The speed of the march to enjoy the scenery made the troops march in a circle.

You can't march too fast! Too soon will make Long Jia uneasy, waiting for the news that the Khitan soldiers and horses have returned to the north and retreated; Shi Baoji's bladed men and horses came to Beizhou, which was still far away from the front line, and conducted a deep military parade; The people of Hebei watched a grand on-the-spot performance of the Song Army's military might.

When the next Song Zhenzong heard that the Khitan soldiers were scared away by his personal conquest, he immediately ordered Wang Rong and Fan Tingzhao and other troops to pursue them with victory.

Within a few days, the good news came: Fan Tingzhao led his troops to pursue the Khitan soldiers and horses in the Mozhou area, and the enemy killed fell into the water; The beheading of more than 10,000 saddle horses and the materials obtained were incalculable, and the surviving Liao soldiers cried for their fathers and mothers and fled back to the north; This is a great victory of the royal expedition that has never been seen before or since!

However, the truth of the facts is not like this, when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and there is no place for inaction.

So what does the truth look like?

The truth of the facts is this-the iron cavalry of the Liao army led by Yelu Longqing of the Liao Shengzong adopted the tactics of wandering, attacking from the left and attacking all the way south; It is invincible in Xingtai, Hebei and Zhaozhou (Yongnian County, Hebei).

It is only 180 miles away from the Daimyo's Mansion where Song Zhenzong is stationed, and Song Zhenzong will definitely become a prisoner of Yelu Longqing if he goes any further; And his notoriety is better than that of his descendants Zhao Ji and Zhao Huan.

The problem is that Song Zhenzong has a lot of dog-headed military advisors around him, and they want to cater to the emperor's vanity; asked him to hear the news that the Song army was going well in the Daimyo's Mansion, and let the Son of Heaven create momentum in the Daimyo's Mansion; This move also does not lose the wisdom of a soldier who surrenders without a fight.

When the wise Song Zhenzong showed the might of the Song army in the Daimyo's mansion and held a military parade, he did not know that the Liao army was only half a day's trip from his palace tent.

If he knew, Song Zhenzong would probably run faster than him; He Lao Tzu got a donkey cart and escaped, and Song Zhenzong would definitely get a carriage.

Fortunately, Yelu Longqing did not attack the Daimyo's mansion; It's not that there was no attack; Instead, Yelu Longqing's many attacks were defused by Xiao Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si.

Yang Yanzhao is the son of the invincible general Yang Ye, and he and Yang Si killed all the way from Suicheng to Zhaozhou.

Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si received an urgent edict from the imperial court: quickly retreat south and deploy defenses on the front line of Zhaozhou, Daimyo, and Neihuang to ensure the safety of the true master; Prevent the Liao army from moving south.

Ladies and gentlemen, the Suicheng garrisoned by Yang Yanzhao is the real border pass; And the Daimyo's Mansion is still the mainland, so that the Xiao who guards the border pass will withdraw to the mainland to stop the Liao army to ensure the safety of Song Zhenzong; This kind of stupid approach of putting the cart before the horse can only be imagined by the strategists of the Song Dynasty.

It seems that the strategists came up with such a trick and it is difficult to hide, who let them meet an emperor who is so happy?

eats people with a soft mouth, takes people with short hands, and when you are a strategist, you have to give advice to others; Urgently mobilizing the warriors from the border pass to turn back to protect the emperor is also a strategy.

However, the relatives should understand that Suicheng borders the border of Liao to the north of Baoding; The Daimyo Prefecture is a Daimyo County in the Handan region, and the distance between the two places is 760 miles, and it takes two or three days for a good horse to gallop 300 miles a day.

This kind of salary at the bottom of the kettle, the royal driving pro-levy of labor and money; can only be said to be a ridiculously clumsy performance, but Song Zhenzong never gets tired of it.

The war lasted until the end of the year, and it was difficult for the Liao army led by Yelu Longqing to overcome Yang Yanzhao's deployment on the front line of the daimyo; Only then did he have to retreat north from Wudi County after crossing the Yellow River in Lingxian County, southeast of Dezhou, Shandong.

During this period, the Liao army organized many attacks on the daimyo, and the battle situation once appeared in a state of emergency; However, the Empress Dowager Xiao of the Liao State saw that Yang Yanlang and Yang Si's positions were impregnable and difficult to overcome, and the losses of the Liao army would outweigh the losses; Ordered Yelu Longqing to retreat.

After Yelu Longqing's army withdrew, Fan Tingzhao "pursued by victory"; What was packed up was a small group of stragglers.

The deployment of Wang Rong, the deputy capital of the Beiji camp, was even more strange, looking at the distant Liao soldiers and bluffing for a while; He drove horses back and forth day and night, galloping back and forth and killing countless war horses, lying that he was tired of pursuing the Liao army and took the military merits.

Wang Rongru's performance is to figure out Song Zhenzong's nature of great joy, Song Zhenzong wants to save face and not expand his vanity; Wang Rong came up with a countermeasure to make him happy......
