Sun Yue will definitely not be the festival envoy, especially the festival envoy in a place like Yunzhou, under his repeated insistence, Zhao Kuangyin wanted to retreat and ask for a second defense envoy or observation envoy, but Sun Yue still didn't do it.

"Official, I'm really not humble, it's good for you to let me be a prisoner or something, it's really too early for me to be in charge of this kind of thing, I don't have the ability."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while: "Okay, since you insist, then who do you think is appropriate to hand over this Yunzhou to?" ”

"Pan Renmei, who fought with me last time in the Southern Han Dynasty, was very good, you can also match Yang Ye to him, the two of them complement each other, and they will definitely be able to protect Yanmen Pass."

Of course, this is not nonsense, originally in the history of Taizong, these two people cooperated with the old tacit understanding, and the guard was indeed good.

"Pan Mei? It's a pity that he is now far away in Hanyang, as for Yang Ye, his ability is beyond doubt, but after all, he is a new general, and he will not accept the work of the opposite this time, it is too inappropriate to suddenly entrust him with such a heavy task, and I can't trust him. ”

"That'...... The minister can't think of it, anyway, you can send anyone, just don't send me. ”

"Humph! Look at your little bit of interest, or maybe you should get married. ”

"Uh...... It's almost there. ”

"Well, you've worked hard this year, I think so, let's make you a marquis first, and when this battle is over, you will get married first, what kind of official will you be...... Then we'll talk about it then. ”

Sun Yue was also overjoyed when he heard this, he was indeed very tired recently, and it was good to have a holiday, so he happily agreed.

But seeing Zhao Kuangyin drinking in a daze, he said like a homely person: "You also drink some, what to do next, do you have any ideas?" ”

Sun Yue cautiously took the wine glass, took a sip and said: "The minister is also the life of a staff officer, if you want to start a full-scale war with the Khitan next, such a big war minister really doesn't have the courage to talk nonsense." ”

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything when he heard this, after all, Sun Yue really didn't have any experience in large-scale battles, and he only led a small army after destroying Hou Shu, and he didn't give him many people in total to destroy the Southern Han, and besides, the Khitan and the southern heroes were indeed not the same way to fight.

"Then you say, can Yan Yun get it back?"

Sun Yue had to smile bitterly: "Yun must be in the bag, is this Yan...... It's really hard to say. ”

"There's nothing hard to say, let's take a look, but I guess it's enough, this preparation is too hasty."

Sun Yue nodded and agreed, he was really afraid that Zhao Kuangyin's brain would be like Zhao Guangyi in history, and he would not go back if he didn't break Youzhou.

After this defeat of the Khitan this time, the kings of the north and south courts died, and it was inevitable that the vitality would be greatly damaged, especially the new emperor Yeluxian, in fact, he could not take any decent strength, and the Great Song Dynasty would definitely take this opportunity to beat them, but if it was to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, it would depend on luck, and if you were lucky, it might be okay, but the hope was indeed not too big.

After all, the preparation was too hasty. Before the felling of Houshu, although the fight was only fought for less than two months, the preparation work took almost two years, and the so-called soldiers and horses did not move the grain and grass first.

The national policy of the Great Song Dynasty is to first fight the south and then the north, and the reason why this battle will be fought is completely an accident, the military supplies that were hoarded before were put in Hanyang Jiangling and other places, which were prepared to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty, and they couldn't transport things over now.

Besides, the time is not quite right, it is about to enter autumn in a blink of an eye, the Khitan is originally getting colder and more fierce, and the Great Song Dynasty has not even prepared winter clothes, if it drags on for too long, it is really easy to be killed by others in winter.

The Khitan system of all soldiers ensures that their war potential is far below that of the Song Dynasty when they live and die, and controlling millions of strings is not an empty word, they can really take it, the most important thing is that one of the characteristics of the Khitan people's special urine is that they are consistent with the outside world, no matter what virtues these relatives within the Khitan people have, outsiders will be twisted into a rope as soon as they come.

It took so much effort to wipe out Yeluxian's descendants, if people took the opportunity to unite his relatives under the pressure of foreign enemies and took the opportunity to sit in a secure position, then he would be in vain.

Therefore, it is the wisest choice to try a fight, it is best to fight down, and if you can't beat it, you can leave quickly, not only not giving them a chance to fight back, but also waiting for them to eat the dog, which is the wisest choice.

Anyway, after this war, they will have to be frustrated for at least ten years and eight years, and if the scale of the civil strife is relatively large, it will be longer, and the Great Song Dynasty can rest assured to unify the south and accumulate strength.

The next battle was similar to what Sun Yue expected, Zhao Kuangyin ordered Han Chongyun to deploy the camp in the north, and immediately Tixiong and Ba Erzhou's Tianxiong army immediately went north, and sent troops to Youzhou, Zhao Guangmei personally supervised the army, and led Luoyang's Tian Qinzuo and Han Chongxun to support, and he himself led the army to personally crusade against Yunzhou, and the Northwest Zhufan and Zhejia Army followed, and ordered Cui Yanjin to mention the remaining soldiers and horses in Kaifeng to support, and made a posture to fight a national war.

Needless to say, Yunzhou doesn't need Zhao Kuangyin to make a personal move, just the party is in a battle, but if you want to go forward, soon Ye Luxian will arrive in person, the two countries are the royal driver, the king to the king, it can be said that the real fire, although the Song army is victorious, but the Khitan reinforcements are also endless, kill him two thousand today, and people will make up three thousand tomorrow, and they have never been able to play a real victory.

As for Youzhou, although Yelu Xianzhen died, Yelu Xiuge was not a vegetarian, although he couldn't gather too many soldiers and horses in a hurry, but he dragged Han Chongyun enough with the advantage of the cavalry, and he definitely couldn't chase it, so he could only fight around Youzhou, although the momentum was good, but it was basically useless to solve the battle within a few months.

A few months later, it will be winter, and by that time, the Liao army will chase the Song army.

Anyway, in general, the Song army can win but can't overcome it, although the Khitan is uncomfortable to death, and he doesn't feel much better.

When autumn arrives, the cool breeze is together, and both sides know that it's almost.

On this day, Zhao Kuangyin called Sun Yue over, and said unsurprisingly: "Emperor Liao sent an envoy yesterday and asked for peace again." ”

Sun Yue smiled: "It seems that the official family agreed?" ”

"Ah, give them a chance, to be honest, our food and grass supplies are a little unbearable."

"How the officials plan to negotiate."

"We will decide the time and place, this mission will be handed over to you, you can set it."

Sun Yue already knew that there would be such a day, and the relevant preparations were actually almost done, and he thought for a while: "Then let's go to Shanzhou, let them send Brother Yelu Xiu over in person, and I won't talk about others." ”

Zhao Kuangyin was happy, and scolded with a smile: "Is your mother sick? Why don't you say let the family go to Kaifeng to talk to you directly, I think it's Yunzhou. ”

Sun Yue scratched his head, feeling like he was talking nonsense, it seemed that this feeling was not playable, so he said: "Yunzhou is not good, Yunzhou is already its own territory, or Danzhou." ”

"Why?"

"Because Danzhou and Lanzhou look more alike, I prefer the words "Lanyuan Alliance."
