Liao and Jin are fighting hotly, and Zhao Ji naturally will not let go of this opportunity to fish in troubled waters.

In the sixth year of Jin Tianfu, the second year of Liaobao, and the beginning of the fourth year of Song Xuanhe, when the Jin army was chasing Emperor Tianzuo all the way, attacking cities and plundering land, and winning victories, Song did not send troops to attack Liao Yanjing in accordance with the Jin and Song agreements. Yeluchun was proclaimed as the emperor, and the envoy went to the Song Dynasty to ask for peace, willing to dispense with the New Year's coin. Song Junchen believed that if he did not send troops at this time, Yanjing would definitely be Jin's income. Therefore, the envoys of Northern Liao were not allowed to enter the country, in order to refuse Yeluchun's request for peace, and hastily ordered Tong Guan to lead the troops to attack Liao.

In March, Tong Guan led the Privy Council as the Xuanfu envoy of Shaanxi, Hedong and Hebei Road, Cai Jing's son Cai You as the deputy envoy, and the seed master Dao as the commander led an army of 150,000 to inspect the border, respond to the Jin army, and recruit the Youyan region to attack Liao Yanjing.

Of course, it is necessary to march into Liao or something, since Zhou Yi will naturally not let go of such an opportunity, a very important part of the promotion rule is to find every opportunity to show your face in front of the leader, even if you work well, the leader doesn't know you, how can you be promoted? Therefore, you should often dangle in front of your superiors to increase your sense of existence, so that they can remember that there is a person like you, and when the time comes, will they consciously think of you?

So, in line with this thought, Zhou Yi hurriedly applied for a coordinated operation. Tong Guan likes this very much, when he fights with Zhou Yi, he will be much easier, and the credit is not a lot at all, who can not want this.

Zhou Yi's request was quickly granted, and the 50,000 troops that Zhending Mansion had trained every day finally came in handy. These 50,000 people are no longer the ordinary people who were recruited with the army before, but professional soldiers with full armor and weapons.

There were two chiefs of this army. One is Lin Chong. Naturally, his force value is needless to say. It would be great to let him teach these soldiers how to use weapons and body techniques, and it was necessary to improve the combat ability of individual soldiers.

And the other one is naturally Yue Fei, from the novel, it is said that this Yue Fei has been familiar with the art of war since he was a child, and he has a strategy in his chest.

There were two people there. Zhou Yi believes that the quality of his army is absolutely first-class, and the salary of these 50,000 people is twice that of the soldiers of the imperial court. Of course, such a high welfare is not for everyone to have the opportunity to enjoy in vain, the assessment once a month can definitely make people want to die, the variety of exam subjects is absolutely unheard of and unseen, Zhou Yi called it triathlon, and then everyone finally knew the meaning of the name. That is, an iron man can only insist on completing three things.

Only if you pass the assessment can you continue to enjoy such treatment. Otherwise, the only thing that awaits them is elimination. Moreover, these 50,000 people have never increased, and if there is less, they will be added, but there will never be one more.

This time, Zhou Yi set off with these 50,000 people, because he had to obtain consent, so when Zhou Yi set off, Tong Guan and they had already left Zhending Mansion and came to the edge of Ulzhou, and in front of them was the Liao army.

Zhou Yi rode on his bloody throat horse, in the weather in February, the snow had not yet melted in some places, and when the cold wind blew, it blew on his face and made people shiver. Behind him, a procession of 50,000 people was moving in an orderly manner.

Their speed is not fast, there is already Tong Guan in front, these 50,000 people are at most reinforcements, it is good to be able to participate in the battle early, but it is harmless to be a few days late, so Zhou Yi did not let people rush so hard.

After about seven days, Zhou Yi and the others finally came to Ulzhou, and now the governor of Ulzhou is a person named Qu Ying, who was appointed by the official family last year, and is said to be a military family, and is a good material for fighting.

Qu Ying took people out to meet Zhou Yi's army, but Zhou Yi shirked it on the grounds that he was busy with official business, and then continued to set off with people after asking about Tong Guan's location.

In the blink of an eye, it's May. In May, the Song army was divided into two routes, the Eastern Route Army led by Chongshi Dao, and the Western Route Army led by Xin Xingzong. Yelu Chun ordered Xiao Gan to lead the troops to meet the battle. The Song Eastern Route Army led by the Seed Master Road and the Northern Liao Army led by Xiao Gan fought in Baigou, the Song Front Army and the Liao Army were defeated at the touch of a touch, the casualties were not light, the Seed Master Road was forced to retreat to Xiongzhou, and the Liao soldiers chased them all the way to the city. The Western Song Route Army was also defeated.

This situation came so suddenly, so that Zhou Yi was not prepared at all, and at the same time he was very shocked, now the Liao army has been beaten by the Jin army like a lost dog, and Zhao Ji saw this situation before sending troops to prepare to take advantage, as a result, the Song army's hundreds of thousands of troops were defeated by these lost dogs, which is really a big joke in the world. Zhou Yi felt more and more that the imperial court was unreliable, and it was completely unrealistic to rely on the imperial court to change the country, and there was no hope at all.

Zhou Yi picked up his speed and finally met Tong Guan shortly after. Fortunately, Tong Guan's main force was still there, and after meeting with Zhou Yi, Tong Guan and Zhou Yi began to plot a second attack on Liao.

At this time, after Yeluchun was supported by Li Chuwen and others as Emperor Tianxi and established another power, in order to survive, he sent envoys to Jin and Song to ask for peace, but they were all refused.

After that, although the attack of the Song army was defeated, it was still in the middle of the Jin and Song attacks. And there were many contradictions within it, and the Liao and Han ministers who supported him intrigued with each other and fought for power and profit.

In June, Yeluchun was only three months old when he became ill, and he knew that it would be difficult to recover, so he secretly appointed Li Chuwen as the marshal of the Fan Han and Ma Bu Army, and prepared to tell the future. At this time, there was news that Emperor Tianzuo had sent 50,000 soldiers to all counties, preparing to attack Yanjing in August.

Yeluchun was shocked and gathered the ministers to discuss countermeasures. Li Chuwen put forward the theory of "welcoming Qin and rejecting Hunan Province", that is, welcoming Qin Wangding, the second son of Emperor Tianzuo, and resisting the entry of Tianzuo, King of Xiangyin, into Yanjing. Although Yelu Chun was unwilling, he could not think about it, and his condition deteriorated due to his anxiety and illness. On June 20, he died of internal and external hardship, anxiety and fear. At the age of sixty, there was no heir, and the ministers agreed that Concubine Xiao was the queen mother, the main military and state affairs, and the emperor Tianzuo was appointed as the emperor after the king of Qin. Concubine Xiao weighed the system, changed the Yuan Dexing, and was the emperor of Xiaozhang, and the temple name was Xuanzong, and she was buried in Xiangshan, the western suburb of Yanjing.

After Yeluchun's death, the political situation in Northern Liao was unstable, and Wang Huang, the prime minister of the Song Dynasty, saw that there was an opportunity to take advantage of it, and decided to send troops to capture Yanjing (present-day Beijing) again. still ordered Tong Guan and Cai Yu to be the main soldiers, and Liu Yanqing was the commander. In September of this year, immediately after Gao Feng of Yizhou surrendered to the Song Dynasty, more than 8,000 Changsheng troops led by Guo Yaoshi, the general of the Liao Changsheng Army and the left-behind guard of Zhuozhou, also surrendered to the Song Dynasty, which dealt a serious blow to the Northern Liao.

On this day, Zhou Yi discussed the strategy of the attack with the generals, but the soldiers outside suddenly came with news that the Empress Dowager Xiao sent an envoy to ask for a meeting, and everyone looked at each other, Empress Dowager Xiao?

Tong Guan said: "She sent someone? I'm afraid I'm here to make peace. ”

Cai You sneered: "Sue for peace? Now that the Liao State is in danger, when my Great Song Iron Cavalry goes north, I can easily level it, why accept his request for peace? ”

Zhou Yi said: "It's still unclear what they're here to do, so don't jump to conclusions, let them come in and have a look." ”

Tong Guan nodded slightly and said, "Well, it makes sense, go and bring that leader in." ”

After a while, a man about fifty years old wearing the official uniform of the Liao State came in and arched his hand: "I am Jin Taixian, the waiter of the Great Liao Rite Department, and I have met the generals. ”

Tong Guan sat motionless in his seat and asked, "What are you doing here?" ”

Kim Tae-hyun said: "I received the order of the Queen Mother and came to negotiate a truce. ”

Zhou Yi said with a smile: "Ask for peace, ask for peace, what kind of truce, it sounds so good, isn't it because now that we have dealt with the Jin Kingdom, we can't deal with our Great Song Dynasty, right?" ”

Kim Tae-hyun's face changed, although this is true, but it is still a little unbearable to say it in front of so many people.

He was about to refute, but Cai You also said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a point when they attacked our Great Song Dynasty, in fact, our Great Song Dynasty is talking about benevolence and righteousness, and we will not encroach on the things of his Liao Kingdom, at least the land of our Great Song Dynasty should be returned." ”

Jin Taixian thought about it, if all the sixteen states of Yanyun were allocated to the Great Song Dynasty, then there would really not be much land left in the Liao Kingdom, but if it was not returned, the Jin and Song Dynasty would attack, and the Liao State would be in danger, so what about the land?

"This ...... As long as there is a truce, in fact, these are not non-negotiable. Kim Tae-hyun said cautiously.

Tong Guan said in a tone that did not question: "It's not a discussion, it's a must, the sixteen states of Yanyun, no place can be missing, all belong to my Great Song Dynasty, otherwise, the arrow is on the string, and it has to be sent." ”

Jin Taehyun let out a cold sweat, but he couldn't make up his mind, Cai You said loudly: "Okay, okay, I don't want to negotiate peace when I see you, I have to think about this issue for so long, we haven't made any excessive requests, get out, I don't want to see you." ”

Zhou Yi also sat in his position and didn't look at it, for him, he already understood that this time he was going to fight, and Jin Tae-hyun was so unhappy, which also made him angry in his heart, and he didn't even have the sincerity to talk about it, how could this go on?

At this time, the only one who didn't speak was Tong Guan, and he was also the highest status here, as long as he nodded, the conversation between Liao and the Great Song Dynasty would be able to continue. Kim Tae-hyun watched Tong Guan wait for him to come and get an idea. But Tong Guan actually doesn't want to accept his peace now, Tong Guan's consideration is very simple, now is the critical moment for the Jin State to destroy the Liao, if the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State negotiate peace, it is difficult to ensure that the Jin State will not take the Great Song Dynasty to open the knife after the destruction of the Liao, it will be bad if it really comes to that point.

After a long time, Tong Guan said, "You go, I don't accept peace." (To be continued......)
