"Zong Ze, a doctor of Yingtian Academy, has already made six concertans for the Northern Expedition, but his theory that the Liao Expedition will fail is exactly the same as Zhou Quan, and is laughed at by the world. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info"

"The imperial army has crossed the Sanggan River and forced to the bottom of Yanjing City. It is really unwise to insist on this fashion and sweep away the public's interest. ”

"In the capital, all the retributions that are not controlled by Zhou Quan are now being ridiculed, regarded as a private person, and do not want to see others make such immortal achievements."

Tong gradually read the contents of Jingshi's letter with a blank face.

He didn't agree with the parting of ways with Zhou Quan, but Tong Guan made up his mind, even if he was the most valued by Tong Guan among the children and grandchildren of the Tong family, he couldn't change this fact.

Leading the troops to fight outside, Tong Guan has never relaxed his grasp of various information in the Beijing Division. After hearing Tong gradually finish reading, he grinned and sneered twice silently.

"Now you should know Zhou Quan's true face, he is only using you when he interacts with you, otherwise why would he do everything possible to cut off the reward of the old man and the king of the county?"

Tong gradually became speechless.

Standing up, his own entourage put on armor for Tong Guan, Tong Guan commanded in a deep voice: "You go to the Daimyo's Mansion, stay by King Yun's side, be careful to flatter well, after this battle, your grandfather and I will be crowned the king of the county, and King Yun is also going one step further!" ”

"Dashuai, someone claims to be Hu Ning, the envoy of Zhou Quan, the Duke of Donghai County, and is asking to see Dashuai outside the tent!"

Before Tong gradually responded to the order, he heard the report of the sergeant outside.

Tong Guan frowned: "I don't see ...... Wait, let him go with the army, and see him again when I have time! ”

Hu Ning, as Zhou Quan's personal guard, will not leave Zhou Quan's side when he is idle, and this time going north is Zhou Quan's move to Zong Ze and an effort to reduce the losses in the north.

It's just that he didn't expect Tong Guan's hostility towards him to be so deep, even if Hu Ning came with his handwritten letter, he didn't see Tong Guan in time.

Hu Ning followed Tong Guan's army, and from a distance, he saw that surrounded by a group of generals, he commanded to be powerful. If others saw it, they might think that Tong Guan was very majestic, but Hu Ning just pouted, and then began to pay attention to the appearance of the various armies.

Among the armies, the Beijing Forbidden Army is the most neat, and in terms of array alone, it is by no means inferior to Zhou Quan's array boy. But they always lack a bit of battlefield spirit, they are very strong, and their actual combat ability is worrying.

The Hebei Forbidden Army didn't even have a showcase, they were all gloomy, and judging from their spirits, they were not very enthusiastic about this matter.

To a certain extent, the Hebei forbidden army has been confronting the Liao people for a long time, and it has been broken by the Liao people, and in recent years, the imperial court has attached great importance to the west, and there has been peace with the Liao people for a long time.

As for the Western Army...... Brave is brave, but the victory over the Xia people, they are extremely arrogant from soldiers to generals, it can be seen that they do not look down on the Hebei and Beijing forbidden armies at all, on the battlefield, I am afraid that they will cooperate well with friendly forces.

In fact, don't talk about cooperating with friendly forces, that is, within the Western Army itself, the relationship between the generals is also very complicated, and there are many open and secret battles, and they can be considered cooperative if they don't pull each other's hind legs.

"No wonder the county prince said that this Northern Expedition would be defeated, but he was kind-hearted, but he was treated as a donkey's liver and lungs!"

Walking with the army, there were more than a dozen sergeants sent by Tong Guan around, nominally accompanied by guards, but in fact they were spying on him. These people talk occasionally, and they are derogatory to Zhou Quan, if it weren't for the responsibility, Hu Ning couldn't help but fight with them several times.

From the Sanggan River to the foot of Yanjing City, if the Chamber of Commerce guards the march, it can be reached in half a day, but Tong Guan's hundreds of thousands of troops took two days. In order to strengthen his prestige, he gathered the army in one place, and then went out of their separate ways, the forwards all saw Yanjing City, but the rear team had not yet left the camp.

On October 29, the third year of Xuanhe, 300,000 troops of the Great Song Dynasty gathered under Yanjing City.

That night, the army camped outside the city, preparing to attack the next day, uprooting several strongholds of the Liao people outside the city.

Until this time, Hu Ning did not wait for the news of Tong Guan's summons, he understood that Tong Guan brought himself not really to see him, but to let him see with his own eyes how the Song army defeated the Liao.

Although sluggish, but there should be a hospitality Tong Guan is not indebted, at night, Hu Ning's camp is quite warm, but he has not undressed, put on armor and sleep, looking at him like this, a companion Tong Guan personal guard smiled: "Are you still afraid of the Liao people to fight out?" ”

"If there is no accident, the Liao people will come out to riot tonight." Hu Ning said: "I advise you to be prepared as well. ”

"Hehe, it's really a good military strategy, it depends on whether the Liao army is as smart as you, I heard that Zhou Jungong beat the Liao people Yeluchun last year, Yeluchun almost cowered in the city and didn't dare to go out, Zhou Jungong can do what more than 10,000 people can do, could it be that our hundreds of thousands of troops can't do it?"

Hu Ning glanced at him coldly: "Can't do it." ”

Everyone laughed, but they didn't expect him to say it directly.

Tong Guan was not completely ignorant of soldiers, he still arranged layers of precautions at night, and also ordered the officers and soldiers of the two battalions to take turns to be ready to deal with the enemy's night attack at any time. When he heard someone say that the people sent by Zhou Quan reminded him to guard against night attacks, he didn't say no, but in fact increased the number of people who took turns to be on duty at night to four battalions.

The first half of the night was fine, there was nothing unusual, and in the second half of the night, the drum was beaten, and in Yanjing City, a person looked at the table clock and strode out of the house.

In the courtyard, more than a dozen Khitan generals, all draped, were already waiting for him.

By the light of the torch, you can see clearly that this person's face is not Yeluchun, but Yeludashi!

Even Zhou Quan, the news he received at this time was that Yelu Dashi stayed in Japan as his governor, and refused to follow Yelu Yanxi's order to return to China, but he didn't know that this person had quietly returned to Daliao and was in Yanjing City!

Yelu Chun leaned over, walked over and patted Yelu Dashi's shoulder: "Success or failure is here, Dashi Linya, everything...... Please! ”

"Don't worry, the king, this battle is a battle of concerted efforts from all over the Great Liao!" Yelu Dashi said simply, and then beckoned to the generals in the courtyard: "It's time, everyone, kill the enemy with me!" ”

The generals in the courtyard agreed in a hurry, and Yelu Dashi walked out first, and when he mounted his horse and looked to the south, he didn't know whether to regret or rejoice.

"It's a pity that the main general on the other side is not Zhou Quan, if it is Zhou Quan, he will win him once, and he can catch him...... Maybe it can be reversed. ”

Immediately, he smiled again, if it was Zhou Quan on the other side, I am afraid that it would be them, not the Song people, who should be worried about the night attack.

When it was ugly, on a hill outside Yanjing City, a loud noise suddenly sounded!

Tong Guan, who was dreaming of his title of county king, was awakened by this thunderous sound, and he suddenly got up and exclaimed, "What's wrong with the Divine Thunder Army? ”

It is impossible to thunder at this time, such a loud noise, it should be the explosion of the gunpowder of the Shenlei Army, he originally wanted to seize the high ground outside Yanjing City after dawn, and transfer the Shenlei Army up, if the Shenlei Army really loses, his next strong attack will be unsmooth.

After completely sobering up, Tong Guan suddenly realized that the sound of the cannon came from the north, and the Shenlei Army was now the treasure bump of the Great Song Dynasty, which was placed in the south, and there were still nearly ten miles here, and this sound was not issued by the Shenlei Army.

Before he could figure it out, he could hear the sound of a tsunami of murder!

"Dashuai, it's bad, it's bad, it's artillery, the Liao people have artillery!"

One of the guards turned pale with horror, rushed straight into the camp, reported to Tong Guan, kicked down all the lamps in the tent with one kick, and directly ignited the camp tent with the remaining fires, and the other guards put out the fire with all their hands and feet.

Tong Guan had already put on his armor and looked at the guard who had caused trouble, this person was originally a distant relative of his, and he was originally brought to accumulate some credit for him, but his actions were too dangerous.

"Chop." Tong Guan said without hesitation.

Although he is a eunuch and a traitor, he also knows what needs to be done at this time.

"Huh?" The guard didn't expect that his head would be cut off for the trouble he had caused, and when he was about to scream, he was dragged out by someone covering his mouth, and after a while, his head was sent to Tong Guan.

Tong Guan waved his hand, and the man walked out of the tent, and someone brought a war horse, he mounted the horse and looked north.

The 300,000 soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty could not be crowded together, so the company camped for more than ten miles and occupied the south and west of Yanjing. Tong Guan's camp, still ten miles from the front line, although the sound could be heard at night, but he could not see what was happening ahead.

At this moment, his face was very ugly.

Because there is a cry ahead, listening to the sound, the situation is not very good.

"How can the Liao people have artillery, it is ......"

A terrible thought floated in Tong Guan's heart, and Zhou Quan handed over the artillery to the Liao State in order to prevent him from becoming king!

If this is the case, the number of artillery in the hands of the Liao State will not be small, and it is very likely that the people sent by Zhou Quan are firing the artillery......

Rotten!

Tong Guan thought of another thing in his heart, this time the Shenlei Army went north, in order not to let the Liao people find out, he did it very secretly, and he never even let the Shenlei Army and the armies perform together!

Before they had been co-ordinating with the armies, those troops did not know what was going on with the artillery, and if there was another enemy night attack at first sight......

A burst of panic made Tong Guan unable to sit still anymore, he turned around and shouted: "Restrain all armies, don't panic, guard the camp, no matter what happens, don't mess up, whoever messes up, cut off someone's head!" ”

His orders were quickly spread to all parts of the camp, but they could only reach the camp, and the Song army stabilized in the camp where there was some commotion, but the rest of the battalions may not be able to do so.

It was the Hebei Forbidden Army that acted as the vanguard, and they were the targets of the Liao's night attack!

Among the armies of the Great Song Dynasty, they are probably the weakest, and they don't even have the showmanship of the forbidden army of the Beijing Division. What's more, many people in the Hebei Forbidden Army fled to Liao, so there was also a Han army composed of former Hebei Forbidden Army soldiers on the Liao side.

Some of the Han army in this army were used as fine work, and they had long been mixed into the Hebei Forbidden Army. When they heard the sound of artillery outside, they immediately jumped up and shouted: "The Liao people have used artillery, it's over, the Liao people have used artillery, and the front is defeated!"
