From Tong Guan's point of view, it seems that he made such a decision, which is also correct.

If Zhu Zilong is him, if from the perspective of the entire strategic layout, there is actually nothing wrong with Lianjin destroying Liao.

I remember that those so-called historians who talked about it on TV once said that the main reason for the fall of the Northern Song Dynasty was the maritime alliance with the Jin Dynasty. The so-called analysis of these experts is: if the Liao is kept and the Khitans and Jurchens fight, and the Northern Song Dynasty can hide behind the Khitan, there is a Khitan to block the Jurchens for the Northern Song Dynasty, which is the best choice for the Song Dynasty, so that the Northern Song Dynasty will not perish.

However, if he is really in the environment of the Song Dynasty, Zhu Zilong is often entangled, even if he has the foresight of those who have come over, he is also entangled.

Because, even if the Northern Song Dynasty did not intervene, the Jurchen Jin could destroy the Khitan, on the contrary, it was strategically correct to take the initiative to seize this place. At most, it's just the time to slow down Liao's demise!

So since Jin has destroyed Liao, and Song has not occupied the dangerous place of Yanyun, in the face of the situation of Pingchuan in the south, Jin is a society that has just entered the tribe.

(Plundering and killing are very normal in their eyes, and they will not have a civil society and a legal system like the Northern Song Dynasty; As long as there is enough profit to be obtained, what will the leaders of these tribal societies do?

According to the characteristics of nomadic tribes that rob others of their lives rather than farming, wouldn't they continue to go south to destroy the Northern Song Dynasty? Apparently they will definitely continue to move south. The Northern Song Dynasty took advantage of the Khitan civil strife and took advantage of the time when Jin Liao fought each other to seize the dangerous land of Yanyun as soon as possible, and then build a city that was good at management, which was definitely a sharp weapon to resist the nomadic cavalry for the agrarian society that was good at defense.

So this starting point, Lianjin is not wrong.

In addition, even if Song did not attack Liao, Liao still came back to blackmail Song. Before it dies!

After the elite of the Northern Song Dynasty and Song Taizu were defeated by Zhao Guangyi, a fool, the Song Dynasty was basically on the defensive in the face of Liao. After the Song Dynasty, the face of Liao was more peaceful, and after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, the Song Dynasty spent hundreds of thousands of dollars every year, in fact, because he didn't want to war, the war was too costly for the farmers, and even if the war was won, unless he could seize the land of Yanyun, the cost would be more than decades.

Well, I'm afraid of war, it seems to have hit something.

Even so, in exchange for the complete peace of Song and Liao, even in the period of Song Renzong and Song Shenzong, although there was no major exchange, Liao still fought grass valley (Liao soldiers relied on their own horses, did not fight regular position battles with you, but robbed the common people on the Song border again and again, and as soon as the larger Song troops arrived, some fled immediately).

When the Song officials accused, the Liao side simply ignored it, and politely said that it was a horse thief, not a Liao soldier, and the Song could not enter the territory of Liao to suppress the bandits.

Now that the Jurchens are calling, Liao needs military spending (after all, after nearly 200 years of development, Liao has become more like an agrarian society, although it has strong nomadic characteristics), won't Liao turn around and blackmail the Northern Song Dynasty, saying that we will guard the north for you, and you will have to pay military expenses or something?

Song didn't give it, so it was good to continue to fight the grass valley, but on a larger scale, and then go deeper into the hinterland. Just like this time, Xiao Gan quietly dispatched a large army, do you really think that he was a temporary guest, just to block the border army of the Song army.

It would be such a coincidence, the Song army prepared in advance, and when it arrived, the Liao army was also assembled. There must have been something to set off deliberately, just when the two armies were facing each other.

In fact, after Liao lost to Jin several times, he offered to Song for blackmail, but Song did not agree. Can the Northern Song Dynasty tolerate it under such circumstances? In this case, Song might as well unite Jin to kill Liao first. It was Liao's blackmail that stimulated Song Lianjin's determination.

The resentment of the Song Liao was too deep, and the Liao State's actions such as beating the grass valley (which was the blood and tears of the civilians in the Song Border Pass that could flow into a river), as well as the blackmail, naturally led to the extreme dissatisfaction of the Northern Song Dynasty, so dissatisfied that even famous traitors like Gao Yu actively agreed with the plan to exterminate Liao. At this time, Liao happened to be sick, how could it be impossible to take advantage of his illness to kill him?

What is wrong is only the process, not concentrating the elite Western army (most of them are still suppressing the Western Xia. Just like Tong Guan at this time!

The Song Dynasty has been suppressing the Western Xia, and these elite Western troops actually arrived later, and the Northern Song Dynasty was destroyed and blocked in Tongguan! went to attack the Liao State, but thought that the Liao State had been defeated by Jin, and took part of the Western Army plus most of the Hebei Army (which can only be described as garbage) to fight the Liao State, and the result can be imagined.

However, within this modified history.

Tong Guan's timidity is naturally the same, but it is more or less because of various historical events that happened a few months in advance. It didn't happen again, and coupled with the second mission, some powerful things on the Liao side impressed him deeply.

I have to say that there are half of the good and half of the bad, and at present, the benefits outweigh the disadvantages, and only Zhu Zilong is given a chance. Only less, Comrade Tong Eunuch's light enemy index has not dropped to the level of brain damage!

-

It's just that no one expected that the Liangshan army, which seemed to be slowly following behind the Liao army and waiting for the opportunity, marched. Under the arrangement of Zhu Zilong's clone, he also made another trick early, and he had the same trick as Xiao Gan.

Moreover, the speed of the soldiers is even higher.

Without it, that is, when the army was slowing down, Yue Fei, Lin Chong and others were arranged early to turn into a surprise attack team like special forces. Turn the trail and walk with a good horse. Traveling lightly, he turned to the front of the Liao army early.

Speaking of which, thanks to the fact that the Liao army suddenly stopped for a day or two more than a dozen miles away, it gave them more time.

Outside the south gate of Zhuozhou City, heavy rain began again, delaying some people's plans again. And gave Yue Fei, Lin Chong and others a chance, and the group of light horses arrived at the city without anyone noticing.

Of course, their opportunity also ended here, Zhuozhou City went south, and the raised voice on the city wall shouted: "Who, stop immediately, otherwise you will be killed by random arrows!" ”

The south of the city is the rear, and it is impossible for the army to arrive so unnoticed. A team of light horses, if it is not their own people, is definitely an act of sending them to death.

Yue Fei and his party were cold by the rain, and they stopped with a cold fight.

Taking advantage of the light rain, Yue Fei raised his voice to the city wall: "On the city wall, is it Lao Wang?" I'm Yue Pengju, and I've been to the city before. Song envoys and his entourage, have you ever remembered, quickly let us go into the city, find the deputy capital to report, and then pass on Guo Duguan, my Song people have not forgotten the agreement. There are 100,000 urgent information delivered! ”

Everyone on the city wall listened to the voices of Yue Feiren and the others below, and an acquaintance poked his head out and took a closer look, looking very surprised. Then there was a happy look on his face: "My mother thief, the Song people are really here again?" It seems that great things can be done...... I can't say it, hurry up, come on, open the door quickly! Hurry up! You, you, little five, go to the Metropolitan Administration to report! ”

Waiting for Yue Fei and his party to enter the city, the heavy rain connecting the inside and outside of Zhuozhou City was much lighter.

The people in the city who were preparing for the battle just looked at them indifferently, and only a few people who were interested changed color in surprise, but it was obviously too late to do anything.
