In the fourth year of the Northern Song Dynasty, the ancient battlefield of Baigou River was ......

"How come I haven't even seen a single figure after crossing the Baigou River, straight lady thief, our Western Army has died thousands of robes here, just to fight for such a place, what does this big Zhao official family think?" More than a dozen soldiers in Great Song armor staggered along the muddy road, and one of them, a bearded man, couldn't help but let out a complaint.

"Yan barbarian, don't disturb the morale of the army here, this place of clouds has been the barrier of our Han family since ancient times, isn't it worth fighting for your life? After this sentry, we can change from the auxiliary army to the regular army, but you sigh, if you say one more word, Erlang will not train you, and I Luo Yanqing will not spare you! Luo Yanqing glared at Yan Manzi, wearing a square felt hat, fluttering red tassels, and a clanging sound from his armor, and then looked at Yang Ling, who was leading the horse in front of him, his eyes were blank, and he couldn't help but sigh in his heart......

Yang Ling, who walked in the forefront, was only in his early twenties, was the leader of more than a dozen people, his ancestral home was Henan, the second in the family, known as Yang Erlang, the family life was solid, but he had a martial arts ability, and the year ago because the Liao people beat the grass valley (the way the Liao army went south to plunder the people's grain and grass property, it was called the grass valley by the Liao people) was slaughtered, and the family was destroyed. It just so happened that at the time of the incident, Yang Ling took Luo Yanqing, Yan Shichen and other young men to take a business route, and when the group returned to their hometown, it was already a tragic situation full of dead bodies.

At this time, the Great Liao was defeated and lost by the rising Jurchens in the battle of Hubu Dagang, the elite soldiers and horses were lost, the country was about to die, the Great Liao Tianzuo Emperor rushed away, abandoned the thousands of miles of rivers and mountains, and fled to Jiashan (in Inner Mongolia), in order to restore the country, and the Great Song Dynasty saw that the Great Liao was already in the waning West Mountain, Song Huizong Zhao Ji sent Tong Guan to the Northern Expedition, intending to recover the sixteen states of Youyun in one fell swoop, Yang Ling and his fellow villagers just caught up with the Northern Expedition of the Great Zhao Guanjia swearing, and joined the Northern Expedition army, but ended up with an auxiliary army, that is, raising war horses, Auxiliary sergeants who unload armor for the regular army, fortunately, if the battle is stalemate, the auxiliary army can also go to the battlefield.

So the Northern Expedition of 200,000 troops in the Baigou River and the Great Liao fiercely saw a battle, the Great Song Dynasty thought that the Celestial Dynasty army arrived, the people all ate the pot pulp to greet each other, even if there was a small setback, but also in one fell swoop to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, the Great Song Dynasty official Zhao Ji is so happy, if this success, the prestige will be able to catch up with Taizu Taizong.

But the battle of the Baigou River was defeated, so that everyone could not believe it, the famous Liao general Yelu Dashi and the king of the four armies Xiao Gan led tens of thousands of Liao soldiers, which led to the defeat of the Song army.

And Yang Ling's auxiliary army was also scattered by the chaotic army, and Yang Ling was knocked unconscious by the unbridled war horse, but fortunately, Yan Shichen, Luo Yanqing and other brothers desperately coerced Yang Ling out of hell on earth. And after Yang Ling was in a coma for a few days, he finally woke up without danger, but he became silent all day long, as if he was stunned.

In the face of his brother's worried look, at this time Yang Ling's thoughts have drifted into the distance, he was a college student who had just graduated in the 21st century, looking for a job but repeatedly hit a wall, and then he was ready to return to his hometown to start his own business, but what he never dreamed of was that the plane back to his hometown had an accident, and the result was that the plane was destroyed and killed, and he actually crossed after an air crash, the location was the border front between the two countries, and his identity was an insignificant pawn of the Northern Expedition.

More than 20 people walked with heavy steps in the muddy road where birds could hardly be seen, and a corpse could often be seen scattered around, all because there was a battle here a few months ago, and Yang Ling's thoughts began to return to reality at this time.

History has always been his strength, and he will turn the page when he has nothing to do on weekdays, and the last few years of the Northern Song Dynasty are almost the most heart-wrenching page for hundreds of millions of Chinese children, starting from the fourth year of Xuanhe, the entire Northern Song Dynasty began to show the fragile side behind its wealth and prosperity.

The Zhao and Song Dynasty officials were indulged in pleasure, the court was strong and weak, the party was fierce, and Tong Guan had a total of two Northern Expeditions before and after, trying to take advantage of the weakness of the Liao people to recover the sixteen states of Youyun, but the result was not an inch, but it buried most of the martial arts of the Great Song Dynasty, and the tragedy of history is that since the beginning of the Battle of Baigou River in the First Northern Expedition, and at this time, he was at the end of the First Northern Expedition.

It is precisely because of the miserable record of the Song army that the Jurchens are deeply aware of the weakness of the Southern Dynasties, when the main force of the Liao people was almost completely defeated and swallowed by the Jurchens, the Huanghuang Great Song Dynasty was killed by tens of thousands of remnants of the Liao State temporarily assembled to the point of bleeding and drifting. Do we Jurchens have been in the bitter cold for a long time?

Therefore, three years later, after the Jurchens completely digested the power of the fallen country of Daliao, they immediately went south to invade the Song Dynasty, and there was a shame of Jingkang......

Since ancient times, there is no China after Yashan, but Yang Ling has always believed that "there is no China after Jingkang" is more accurate, at this time Yang Ling is at the critical point of this historical turning point, especially the critical change is the disaster of the country, how many people can stay out of the matter? It's all here, let's live first, God, I thank you all the family......

"Straight lady thief, there was no war a few years ago, we and Brother Yang Ling went to Yanjing, passing through here, it is still a lively village, I also asked the old Zhang Tou for a pot of wine and a roast chicken, but now it has become like this, not even bird feathers." Yan Shichen muttered a sentence in his mouth, and he couldn't help but feel some emotion because of his straightforward nature.

Yang Ling's memories of hard work vaguely remember that there was such a thing, but now is not the time for children to grow up, the Liao people beat the Northern Expeditionary Army of the Great Song Dynasty to the point that they did not dare to take a step forward even in the Baigou River, so they had to send their lowest-status auxiliary troops to cross the river sentinels, and still promised to become a reward for becoming a regular army after success. And the key to what I did was to find out if the Liao people were still north of the Baigou River......"

Shichen, Yanqing, you two each take a few people, one to the east, one to the west, respectively two miles away, the rest of the people with me to the north, whether there is a trace of the Liao people will be found here, on the road...... Remember to be careful. Yang Ling said to the two people, regardless of the past and present lives, these two people are the closest to their own family, and they are naturally the most powerful brothers, so this matter can be handed over to the rest assured.

"Erlang, your injuries have not healed, the further north you go, the more unsafe it is, and it is better to let a certain family answer the errand of the north sentry, and my brother will go to the east!" Luo Yanqing was a little worried in his eyes, if it was in the past, Yang Ling would be able to open a stone bow in steps, although there were many big men in the Great Song Dynasty army, but the ability to open a stone bow was also good, so he was naturally much more relieved, but since the last war and the rest of his life, Luo Yanqing felt that Yang Ling was a little strange, and he could only blame it on the reason why his injuries had not healed.

Yang Ling felt Luo Yanqing's worries, and his heart was touched at the moment, "Injury...... It doesn't hurt anymore. ”

"Is that true?"

"It's ...... better than pearls"
