Chapter 20 The Strange Breeds of the Song Kingdom

After the Liao State stayed in Beijing and reduced the gold, the Jin and Song dynasties officially launched negotiations in Shangjing and reached an agreement on Shangjing:

1. The Song and Jin Dynasty jointly attacked the Liao State, and the Zhongjing Dading Mansion north of the Great Wall was captured by the Jin army, the Yanjing Xijin Mansion south of the Great Wall was captured by the Song Dynasty, and the Xijing Yunzhong Mansion was jointly captured by the Song and Jin.

2. After the destruction of Liao, the Song Dynasty took back the hometown of Yanjing and transferred the original coins and silks to the Liao Dynasty to the Jin Kingdom.

3. The Song and Jin dynasties could not make peace with the Liao Dynasty alone, and they could not unilaterally surrender and rebel.

Fourth, the Jin Dynasty agreed that the Xijing Prefectures belonged to the Song Dynasty in principle, but the specific time of return would be discussed by the two sides.

Although the Song army is not good in field combat, it is also a powerful country with millions of armor on a par with Liao. Even if he was about to lose face in the battle of Baigou, it still restrained a lot of Liao's energy. The Song army's field warfare has always been not its strong point, but defending the city is very good, and the Liao people know this very well.

Because of this, although the Liao army defeated the Song people, it did not take advantage of the situation to go south and burn the war to the territory of the Song State. At this point, the Khitans were still much stronger than the Jurchens hundreds of years later. The strength of the Liao State at this time can still pose a threat to the Jin people, but it is a pity that their internal strife is not good, and the cannibalism will consume the already small elite.

Hundreds of years later, when the Jurchens were beaten by the Mongols and couldn't get up on the ground, they wanted to recover the losses from the north in the south, and then took the initiative to provoke a war with the Song people. Originally, the court of the Song State still wanted not to repeat the mistakes of the past, and wanted to unite with the Jin State to resist the Mongols, but they were attacked by the Jin people..... Yes, Jurchens, you better die.

In the Battle of Baigou, the main elite of the Song army was almost wiped out, burying countless Song army generals and colonels, and also making the names of Xiao Gan and Yelu Dashi resounding in all directions. Later, Xiao Gan established himself as emperor and was killed. Yelu Dashi is well-learned, and he also became an emperor.

Similarly, in this battle, there were also many low-ranking generals in the Western Army who showed their brilliance. Because a large number of high-ranking generals of the Western Army died in battle, Han Shizhong, who was killed from the pile of dead, was promoted three levels in a row and became a high-level martial arts hall in the Song Army.

In addition, the Liao army took advantage of the power of a great victory, and it had a bit of cheering up. After removing the threat of the Song Kingdom in the south, Yeluchun's generals were demoralized and ambitious to clean up the old mountains and rivers. However, it was only in April that the Liao army won a great victory and stabilized the situation in the south, and by June, Yeluchun fell ill and died.....

After hearing the news, Chen Cheng couldn't help but be stunned, he also thought that history would be different because of his intervention. Who knows, there is such a thing in addition to all of a sudden. This is really the day that will destroy their Liao country.

After Ye Luchun died of illness, his wife Xiao Puxian was the queen mother, and Xiao Gan was the dictatorship of the northern privy council. In July, the Song Dynasty took Liu Yanqing as the capital and led an army of 200,000 troops to Northern Liao again. At this time, the Northern Liao regime was already in internal and external difficulties, before the Taiwei Li Chuwen and his son were executed, and "when the Yan King was arrogant, the Han army was many and the army was small, Xiao Gan suggested that more than 2,000 people from the east and west Xi and the king of the north and south, the king of the second room, and the leather room dragged the division fiercely", and he no longer trusted the Han people.

At this point, Empress Xiao and Xiao Gan and others were afraid that the Han people, especially the Chang Shengjun, would change and "plot to do so". Pharmacist Guo urgently summoned the department and encouraged them to join the Song. So "all of them responded, and then imprisoned Xiao Yuqing and others, and sent the regiment to train Zhao Heshou to have 8,000 elite soldiers, 500 iron cavalry, and one state and four counties to surrender." Guo Yaoshi's surrender to the Song Dynasty caused Northern Liao to lose an important armament.

Originally, the armed forces of the Hu people such as the Khitans and the Xi people were not much, and the maintenance of local rule depended on the armed forces of the Han people. After Guo Yaoshi surrendered to the Song State, the Khitans, like the Japanese army during the War of Resistance Against Japan, could only control a few large cities and completely lost control over other places.

Under such circumstances, after the deliberation of the military officials, Empress Xiao had no choice but to pay tribute to Song and Jin at the same time, so as to maintain the situation of surviving. But how is this possible? Wanyan Aguta has a deep fear of the Liao State, and wants to destroy the Taoist system of the Liao State, even the Song State in the south, which has just been defeated, has a different mind.

After receiving the surrender of Northern Liao, Huizong thought that the recovery of Yanjing was imminent, so he couldn't wait to change the name of Yanjing to Yanshan Mansion, and urged Liu Yanqing to march as soon as possible. Liu Yanqing adopted Guo Yaoshi's opinion: taking advantage of Xiao Gan's main force on the front line and raiding Yanjing with light cavalry, he will definitely get a response from the Han people in the city, and Yanjing will definitely be taken. So he ordered Guo Yaoshi to lead the Changsheng army of 1,000 people as the vanguard, followed by Yang Keshi, Gao Shixuan and others. The pharmacist department led Zhen Wuchen to understand the situation of Yanjing with 50 people of the Changsheng army mixed with the residents on the outskirts of the city to seize the Yingchun Gate, and the army followed, and the 7 city gates of Yanjing respectively sent 2 generals to lead 200 soldiers to defend it.

At this time, it seems that Yanjing will return to the Song Dynasty. But at this critical moment, instead of appeasing the people in the city, the Song general issued an erroneous order: kill the Khitan and Xi people in the city. And the Song soldiers were disordered in discipline, drinking and robbing everywhere, which caused a strong resistance, and Empress Xiao also ordered Xiao Gan to rush back to help. In this way, the Song army fought hard for three days and nights, and there were no reinforcements outside, only Guo Yaoshi, Yang Keshi and hundreds of soldiers were lucky to escape, and most of the soldiers such as Gao Shixuan died in the city.

In this surprise attack on Yanjing, Guo Yaoshi's strategy was not high, but due to the disordered discipline of the Song soldiers, the low combat effectiveness, the contradictions between the generals and the cowardice and incompetence of the main general Liu Yanqing, the success was lost, and the recovery of Yanjing became a failure. Immediately, Liu Yanqing burned the camp and collapsed, the Liao army attacked, and the Song soldiers were defeated. So far, Song's two battles against Yan have failed.

When Song Jun died, Chen Cheng had been watching from the sidelines, he had long known that Song Jun was a bit strange, but he didn't expect them to be so strange. Even the most incompetent government and the most incompetent army in history probably won't be worse than what the Song army did. However, it may also be said that the lower and upper limits of human beings are far beyond the estimates of normal people.

Originally, Song Guo was able to gather the remnants of the Khitan soldiers and rely on them, and use them to fight against the Jin soldiers who had national hatred and family hatred with them. However, because of the strange behavior of the Song army, they lost the swallow land they had in their hands again. not only lost the territory in his hands, but also buried another field army that was finally put together.

People often say that the boiled duck is cooked, and now the Song army has shown the world how the boiled duck flies with practical actions.

For such a situation, the Han government and the public, who have been paying attention to the war on the mainland, are dumbfounded. Even the flowerless monk, who has always been moody and invisible, couldn't help but say: "The country is about to die, and there will be demons." There have been so many demonic things in the Song Kingdom in a row, probably because they are about to perish, right? ”
