Chapter 112: On the eve of the decisive battle

On the eighth day of July in the fifth year of Zhenghe, five more and three o'clock.

At the court meeting of the Wendeku Hall in the imperial city of Tokyo, the net whip sounded three times, and the civil and military forces were in unison. The Son of Heaven sat down, and the head of the palace shouted: "If there is something to go out of the class, there is nothing to roll up the curtain and retreat." ”

The cardinal minister Tong Guan immediately came out of the column and bowed and shouted: "Weichen Qi, the king of Dingxiang defeated the Liao army of 100,000 years ago, conquered Liaoyang Mansion, and captured the fifty states of Liaodong. Recently, King Dingxiang sent a message to implore the Holy Lord to send troops together to attack the Liao State and recover Yanyun. The minister inquired that King Dingxiang already had 100,000 elite soldiers under him, and he was preparing to invade Zhongjing in Liao. The Jurchen tribe of Liao had already raised an army against Liao three months ago, but they had already conquered Ningjiangzhou City, and were now preparing to send 20,000 troops to attack Huanglong Mansion. As long as I send out 200,000 elite soldiers in the Great Song Dynasty, I will take Danzhou to attack Youzhou. Advancing in three ways, even if there are many soldiers and horses in the Liao State, it will be difficult to take care of the end and the end, and it will definitely be defeated. This is the foolish opinion of the minister, and the begging is sacred! ”

Since leading the troops south to wipe out Fang La in one fell swoop, Tong Guan was relocated to the Taishi because of his merits and was renamed the Duke of Chu. This Tong Guan's power has become more and more powerful, which has caused Cai Jing and others to be greatly dissatisfied.

Taishi Cai Jing immediately came out and shouted with a look of concern for the country and the people: "Holy Lord, the Great Song Dynasty has suffered military disasters one after another, and there are too many places where the imperial court has to spend money and grain. If the imperial court makes a big move at this time, the old minister is afraid that the treasury will not be able to afford it......"

Taiwei Gao Yu was also rare to be smart at this time, he said: "Liao has a million army, although the Dingxiang army defeated Liao and captured Liao, but it still did not shake the foundation of Liao. The minister believed that it was not easy to send troops to attack, otherwise it might destroy the stability of the Great Song Dynasty and the Great Liao for decades. At that time, the two countries will meet each other. It's too late to regret! The minister's foolish opinion, please also ask the Holy God to see! ”

Tong Guan hurriedly shouted: "Recovering Yanyun is the last wish of the first emperor of my dynasty. If you miss this great opportunity, you are afraid that it will be even more difficult to recover it in the future. Shengshang, as long as my Great Song Dynasty recovers Yanyun, Western Xia and Great Liao are not worried. The saint can also accomplish great feats that the previous emperors had never done. But if it is lost, my Great Song Dynasty will still be subject to the Liao State everywhere. What's more, if my Great Song Dynasty was indifferent, but let Shi Jin's family recover Yanyun, how would the world view the saint. This is the foolish opinion of the ministers, and please see it! ”

Seeing that many civil officials in the court did not approve of sending troops, Emperor Daojun was very hesitant.

Su Yuanjing came out and shouted: "Holy Lord, in the opinion of the minister." It can make Tong Shuxiang prepare the army first, and then send people to find out how the other two soldiers and horses are progressing. If the other two roads win, the Liao State will inevitably be in crisis, and the Holy Lord can urgently send troops to attack and take Yanyun first. If the other two sides are defeated, leave it at that. In this way, it can also be a place of relaxation with Daliao! ”

"The minister seconded the proposal!"

"The minister agrees!"

……

Many civil and military officials immediately stood up and shouted.

When Song Huizong heard this, he nodded again and again and said, "Su Aiqing, this is an old opinion!" Tong Qing's family sent someone to reply to King Shi Jun, saying that the military needs time to prepare, and he will set off on a day to echo the king of the county! Tong Qing's family, you send a wide range of people, and always inquire about the situation of the other two roads! ”

Tong Guan saw that Emperor Daojun had given orders, so he could only helplessly shout: "The ministers obey the order!" ”

……

On the 13th day of July in the fifth year of Zhenghe, the imperial palace of Liaoshangjing was opened, and suddenly a spy sent an urgent military situation in 600 li: the Great Song Dynasty planned to divide the troops into two routes, one was Tong Guan led 200,000 troops to hoard at the border, preparing to attack Youzhou in the north. Na Shi Jin led 100,000 troops, preparing to conquer Xianzhou, converge with Tongguan, and seek the land of Yanyun. The Jurchen Wanyan tribe rebelled, raised 20,000 troops, and invaded Huanglong Mansion.

When the lord of Liao Guolang heard that the three roads were conspiring to attack the Liao country, he was immediately shocked, and hurriedly shouted: "Quick, summon all the people to the Hajj!" ”

When the left prime minister Youxi Xiaojin, the right prime minister Chu Jian, the privy envoy Xiao Fengxian, the squire Ouyang Shilang, the capital commander Wu Yanguang, and the royal brother King Yelu Dezhong heard this, they all hurried to the palace.

They were taken aback when they heard that there were three armies attacking Liao.

Du Tongjun Wu Yanguang immediately stood up and shouted: "Lord Lang, don't worry! The slave and maid had long expected that the Song Kingdom would inevitably plan to attack my Da Liao left and right. Lord Lang sent a major general to lead the troops to hold Jizhou, and when I led the troops to defeat Shi Jinna, the enemy army was frightened, and he would naturally retreat! ”

Chu Jian, the right prime minister, also came out and said: "Lord Lang, the minister agrees with the policy of General Wu, at present, my Great Liao is being attacked from both sides in the southeast of the Great Song Dynasty at the same time, and the Jurchen Wanyan tribe also took the opportunity to rebel in the left wheel. If our army divides its forces and wants to defeat the enemy army on three sides at the same time, it will inevitably cause the forces to be scattered, and once there is a defeat along the way, the situation in our Daliao is quite dangerous. If we want to resolve this crisis, we must first concentrate on breaking through it. ”

Prime Minister Zuo Youxi Xiaojin immediately echoed and said: "Lord Lang, what General Wu said is very true, the top priority for our army at the moment is to repel all the soldiers and horses as soon as possible and stabilize the situation!" ”

The privy envoy Xiao Fengxian stood up and shouted: "The minister is willing to lead the troops to garrison the Huanglong Mansion to resist the Jurchen traitors!" ”

The royal brother king Yelu Dezhong also came out and shouted: "The younger brother is willing to lead the troops to Jizhou to resist the Song army!" ”

"Hahaha...... With your help, I don't have to worry! After taking a long breath, Lord Da Liaolang shouted sharply: "General Wu, I have ordered you to be the generalissimo of the Song Dynasty. A total of 50,000 troops of the elite Pi Room Army and the Shan Army that defend the Great Liao are also delivered to you to help you go to break the enemy. In addition, Ren Chen selected and transferred military horses. Go and annihilate the Song army, all the generals and soldiers on the front line are under your control, if you still need military horses, food and grass, even if you send someone to report, I and the ministers will prepare for you! Aiqing just raised his troops and went to march as soon as possible! ”

"The last general will thank you!" Du Tongjun Wu Yanguang immediately bowed down and shouted.

The Wuyan army received the Holy Decree Talisman, and then recruited the eleventh Yao generals and the twenty-eighth generals under his subordinates, commanding more than 200,000 elite soldiers and pouring out the country.

Ordered the eldest son, Wuyan Yanshou, to lead 20,000 troops as the vanguard of the front to open the way for the army.

Run

……

A spy had already been cautious, and hurriedly rushed back to Liaoyang City and told Zhu Gui.

Hearing Zhu Gui's report, Shi Jin nodded unexpectedly and said, "It seems that this Liao State is really preparing to attack in a big way!" ”

Shi Jin needed time to digest the fruits of pacifying Liao Dongdong, and the Liao State also needed to prepare grain, grass and ordnance as soon as possible for the army to consume.

For this reason, in the first half of the year, basically both the Liao State and the Dingxiang Army tried to maintain restraint.

But the friction at the border has never stopped.

In the first half of the year, spies and patrols from the two countries on the border fought each other no less than 10 times, and each suffered more than 100 casualties.

Since the commander of the army Wu Yanguang sent out on the expedition, the fighting between the spies on this border has become more frequent.

At the beginning of July, in less than 10 days, hundreds of people were killed and wounded at the border.

This abnormal behavior has already attracted the attention of Shi Jin, Xu Guan, and others, and the report of the spies is more certain of Shi Jin and the others' guesses.

Shi Jin shouted: "Send someone to summon Xu Guanzhong, Zhu Wu and others, and at the same time send a message to Lin Chong, Lu Zhishen and other generals, you can prepare the whole army and go north to fight this battle with the Liao army at any time!" ”
