War, circle of interests. (Octave.)

When the war under the city of Youzhou was in full swing, the Liao State went to Beijing to fight another battle for the sake of reputation

The fight has begun.

"If the big thing is done, you and others have the merit of opening the country from the dragon, Han Kuangyuan is a palace slave, and finally the official can be the king of Yan, I Yelu Liulishou is not a stingy person, and everyone present will be rewarded. Whether you are a king or a prince depends on how much credit you can make for this son. ”

In the Liulishou Mansion, Liulishou was full of excitement and red, and he excitedly made a generous speech to the more than 100 confidants who had been gathered, making the final pre-war mobilization order. On the side, Wang Guanyu hung armor on his head, majestic on all sides.

Yelu Lishou finally ended his speech and said to Wang Guanyu: "General Wang, please."

Wang Guanyu nodded reservedly, took a step forward, and said in a deep voice: "Today's plan is like this, the Ma army commands Cheng Tianhao to be responsible for attacking the yamen left behind in Shangjing to eliminate suffocation, and kills the removal room "Seize the talisman and control the palace guards who stay in Shangjing, and the infantry commander makes Gou Weiwei responsible for controlling the palace guards of 2,000 people......"

Gou Xi is the only one who listens to the joy of the eyebrows, the two thousand female soldiers of the palace female guards, all of whom are the cronies of the Empress Dowager Xiao, most of these female soldiers are young and handsome, with his tiger and wolf soldiers, after this battle, I don't know how many beautiful girls to rob back, not to mention other rewards, just this one, the soldiers under his command are not screaming and rushing forward? Gou Wei only thought nervously: "I don't want too much, choose thirty ...... from them, no!" Fifty beauties are enough, and if you are greedy, you can't chew it, and the rest can be enjoyed by the children. "While bowing down to receive the order.

Wang Guanyu said again: "The deputy commander Li Jianbai and the Han army are Yu Hou Wei Chi Feng and Zhou Yi are in the army to control the whole army, and they have not come at this moment, but I have ordered what to do, the deputy commander Li Jianbai led the troops to attack the palace, and the palace must be controlled in their hands, and the Han army is Yu Mata Chi Feng and Zhou Yi are responsible for controlling and capturing the north and west cities, as for the south and east ......"

Wang Guanyu smiled slightly: "Nancheng and Dongcheng are already under the control of my department, so there is no need to worry about it. I also want to explain that some people of the Baigan tribe will also participate in the operation, they are responsible for creating chaos in various parts of the city at the time of the incident, attacking various government offices at will, lighting fires everywhere to disturb and confuse the market, and the clans of some powerful ministers contacted by the prince will also act on the outside line and quickly assemble in Shangjing, while Murwei and Jurchen will also send troops at the same time to attract troops from the border passes and prevent them from returning to Shangjing. Ladies and gentlemen, I am equal to killing him internally by surprise, the eastern, southern, and western roads are contained by the Song army, and the northeast and north are echoed by the Jurchen and the Chamber, and the big thing can be done. ”

"My lord, do we need to be pretentious?"

A confidant who stayed for a long time asked with a big knife in his hand and asked menacingly.

Liu Lishou stood up and said: "You waited for the prince to attack the prison, but he came out of the prince, and then quickly rushed to the Winter Palace, wrapped up the royal family, clan relatives, and hundreds of military officials who stayed in Shangjing, and helped my father to ascend the throne.

… The henchmen were happy to be in sè, and they responded violently. Liu Lishou and Wang Guanyu glanced at each other, waved their big hands, and shouted: "Let's go!"

When Yelu Liulishou** one hundred and ten family generals, accompanied by the Beijing and Han armies, commanded more than 1,000 of Wang Guanyu's personal soldiers to rush to the prison, all parts of the city had been launched, and there was a sound of shouting and killing everywhere, and the guards of the prison were only some jailers and jailers, and they also heard the sound of fighting from all over the city, but they didn't know what was going on.

When they were panicking, Liulishou and Wang Guanyu led the troops to kill, how could these jailers guarding the prison compete with the regular army, the prison was quickly breached, Liulishou and Wang Guanyu left a part of the soldiers to guard the door and quickly killed inside.

Not only did they want to release the Song king, but they also had to release all the people who were imprisoned inside, and these people were bound to become staunch supporters of the new regime.

The prisoners in the cells on both sides had already noticed that something was wrong, and they were banging on the cell door excitedly, and they didn't know what to shout in the excitement. Wang Guanyu followed him closely, and his heart was pounding. It is indeed important to support the King of Song as the emperor, and of course to rescue the King of Song, but he took the initiative to invite Ying to save the King of Song, but there is still a layer of reasons that are not humane.

Li Jianbai, the deputy commander of the attack on the palace, must be able to fill his own pockets and capture many rare treasures, and the evil of attacking the female army may be very blessed, but how can these compare to the merit of saving the driver, although his credit can no longer run, but personally appearing in front of the imprisoned King Song will undoubtedly leave the deepest impression in the heart of the King of Song, and his career in this life will be a flat horse.

was marching, and there was a sudden shout of killing from behind, Liulishou and Wang Guanyu; $ didn't care, but it was the remnants of the jailers who resisted stubbornly. But immediately someone hurriedly chased after him, and Lao Yuan hissed and shouted: "Shizi, general, the big thing is not good, ...... outside There are a large number of palace guards and horses outside, there is a r-one

Liu Lishou and Wang Guanyu stopped in shock, turned their heads to look, and saw that the general hurriedly ran in front of him and fell to the ground, with three sharp arrows stuck in his back, and his back was half a foot deep, so he could still struggle to run so far.

Liu Lishou and Wang Guanyu glanced at each other, and they didn't care about going to the deepest part of the prison to save King Song, so they immediately turned around and rushed away.

At the gate of the prison, the murderous guards of the Liao State Palace had already killed the rebels guarding the door, and a general carried a bloody broadsword and slowly walked towards the door from the corridor. Next to him, there was a Humpty Dumpty man with a strange head, Humpty Dumpty walked over with a large string of keys in his hand, "click", a heavy iron gate in the town, then a second portal, a third portal, and finally arrived in front of the gate, fiddling in the corner of the wall for a while, "boom" A loud noise, an iron fence fell from the sky, firmly stuck the door, the iron fence was the thickness of a wrist, weighing more than a thousand catties.

"General, it's all right, even if they are really a group of lions and tigers, they don't want to rush out, unless they turn into flies."

The big-headed prison chief said with a smile, and the general with a cold face and unsmiling took the corner and said, "Okay, when the Queen Mother returns to Beijing, she will be rewarded, and you will have benefits!"

The big head said with a smile: "This is all the credit of the general, and the small one does not dare to be greedy." ”

The cold-faced general patted him on the shoulder approvingly, slowly turned his head to look, and saw Liulishou and Wang Guanyu standing there with pale faces across the four portals, grasping the railing with both hands, and screaming: "What's the matter?" What's going on?"

The cold-faced general sneered and raised his voice: "I am ordered by the Lord who stayed in Beijing to arrest the rebels, and wait...... Just stay inside. ”

"Impossible, how can the Except Room be unpredictable? How could he still have so many soldiers and horses to transfer?

Move?

Wang Guanyu

Xuan Bai screamed frantically, sneered at the face of the general, put his hands behind his back, and leaned up, "Huh; Extinguished Dao: "Well, you should thank your deputy for commanding it, your Empress Dowager Dao has no henchmen by your side, is she so relieved of you?" ”

"Li Jianbai? It was Li Jianbai's dog thief who harmed me!"

Wang Guanyu screamed, pulled out the long knife and slammed his arm, with a "clang" sound, sparks splashed, the long knife broke with a hard sound, the iron door did not move, and the cold-faced general waved his hand and shouted: "Release the arrow!"

"Whoosh ......" A sharp arrow shè went, and the rebels in the prison were left behind and hid in embarrassment

xīzàng, there is no longer arrogance when he lands.

The rebellion in Shangjing became a farce, the deputy commander of the army Li Jianbai was Xiao Xuan placed in the inner room of Wang Guanyu, the commander of the Han army, and the whole rebellion plan was completely exposed, although the troops in Shangjing were limited in the hands of the remaining room, and it was too late to notify Xiao Xuan, and then transfer troops, but with the ability of foresight, and Li Jianbai as the internal response, the rebellion was quickly extinguished, and Shangjing was a bloody massacre, except for the beginning of the Han army launched first, which had a little upper hand, followed by the one-sided slaughter of the palace guards.

Especially the two female soldiers, all of them are delicate big girls, but they are not merciless in killing people, they are more fierce than men, and they rush into the empty camp with all kinds of evil, first on fire, and then all the hardships are together, and then two thousand tigresses rush out, biting Gou Weiwei and his cronies to the ground.

The rebellion was half successful, although the action in Shangjing City was quickly quelled, but Mu Wei and Jurchen still sent troops in time, but with the prior reminder of the Chamber, their actions did not receive the effect of the surprise army, at the same time, although the shock in Shangjing subsided quickly, but the tribal army rebellion launched by Liu Lishou personally contacted by Liu Lishou because of the Song Liao war and was dissatisfied with Xiao Xuan's capture of power or wanted to seek wealth and danger was vigorous.

Now that the ground forces in Shangjing are empty, this rebellion, which should have been easily quelled, has missed the best time to extinguish them, causing them to sit on their feet, and the already restless heart of the Great Liao has fallen into a great turmoil.

At this time, dozens of seagoing ships had already sailed from the bay of Dongdong Road of the Song Kingdom, and landed at the Dalian seaport, which was under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang Prefecture in Tokyo, which was under the jurisdiction of Liaoyang Prefecture in Liaoguo, and which was called Sanshanpu by Song State and Daoyster Bay by Liaogu......

!

Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, Tai Yang Hao all the way to attack, Yingzhou (Hebei Hejian), Mozhou (Hebei Renqiu), Zhuozhou (Hebei Zhuozhou) has fallen into the hands of the Song army, Yang Hao's soldiers besieged Youzhou City (now Běijīng City), first fought with the peripheral reinforcements a few times, forced reinforcements, sent troops to block several traffic arteries leading to Youzhou, which was exactly what Zhao Guangyi did not do at the beginning.

Zhao Guangyi yù emulated Li Shimin to besiege the city to send reinforcements, but more confidence than Li Shimin, when Li Shimin attacked Luoyang Wang Shichong, first cleaned up the surrounding states and counties of Luoyang, occupied the only way for reinforcements to pass, and it took another year to force Wang Shichong to be cornered, so he had to lead his prince and more than 2,000 ministers to open the city and surrender, and Zhao Guangyi neglected to guard the surrounding passes, allowing the Liao reinforcements to advance and retreat, and finally suffered a big defeat in the battle of Gaoliang River.

As soon as Yang Hao arrived at Youzhou City, he surrounded Youzhou without fighting, the first thing was to clean up the peripheral states and counties, occupy several strategic places, with a small number of troops, relying on the danger pass, blocking the reinforcements outside, and not letting them get close to the city of Youzhou at all, and the defenders of Youzhou could not even see the slightest shadow of the reinforcements, which could be imagined as a heavy blow to their confidence in sticking.

Immediately, Liu Tingrang and Tong Yu escorted the siege equipment to arrive, plus some of the tools that had been made by the craftsmen in the army, which was enough to launch a siege war, and Yang Hao officially began to use troops against Youzhou.

At this time, the cold winter is coming, the wind is howling, the snow is flying, and there is a vast expanse.

Because Ying, Mo, Zhuo three states have fallen into the hands of the Song army, and a large number of snow sleds and ice sleds are used for transportation, the supply of grain and grass is not a problem, although the cold weather is unbearable, but the main force of the Song army is composed of Henan soldiers, Hebei soldiers and Hexi soldiers, and can also withstand the cold, and the Song army attacks the city at night, and the defenders in the city can only stick to the city at all times, which is not more comfortable than the Song army, and they are very hard for each other, but they can still endure it.

New Year, Song monarch Yang Hao is spent in the former enemy camp, siege of more than two months, after the "release of the stealing festival", Yang Hao began to divide troops to attack Shun (now běijīng Shunyi) and Danzhou (běijīng Miyun), Jizhou (Hebei Jixian County), foot soldiers siege the city, cavalry interception reinforcements, lasted more than a month, Shunzhou, Danzhou and $i states have changed hands, fell into the hands of the Song State, so far, distributed in the east and west sides of the Taihang Mountain steaming cloud sixteen states, the terrain is the most dangerous and the most strategic value of the East Seven Prefectures, Six states have fallen into the hands of Yang Jie, Yang Hao stuck the Taihang Pass, and Taizhou City has become a lonely city.

"The Western Route Army has attacked Ulzhou, Yelu has gathered the palace guards, the clan tent army, the leather room army, the Jingzhou soldiers, and the ** to counterattack comprehensively, General Cao's official family instructed that the offensive has been reined in, but the soldiers and horses of the north and south courts have all been attracted outside the Yanmen Pass, and they are unable to aid Youzhou in the east."

"Several important passes leading to Dongcheng on the Taihang Eight Paths have been in our hands, and now the only foreign aid of the Liao army is from the North Road, and the current battle situation is favorable to us. However, Li Shimin was able to arl trapped Luoyang for a year, and we ...... You can't do that. ”

Pan Mei smiled bitterly: "In the letter from Zhao Xiang and Lu Xiang, they hope that the official family can end the war in Northern Xinjiang as soon as possible, but it is really out of various considerations. When Li Shimin, there was no owner in the world, there were many princes, Li Shimin was based in Guanzhong, and Li Yuan sat in the rear, the amount of rice and grain in the Sui period was huge, and the warehouse was full, and it was not used up until the end of Zhenguan.

And we are not yet ready, the tens of millions of people of the huge Song Kingdom, the state affairs are complicated, and the foundation is far worse than that of the late Sui Dynasty. Longyou is newly attached and needs to be operated with concentration; Bashu Yizhi has been in turmoil for several years, and it still needs to be restored; Officials in various localities in the DPRK and Central China need to sort out the rule of officials when the political situation is stable. It can be said that now it seems that the country is stable, but many problems have only been temporarily suppressed because of this war, if these problems are not solved, once there is a problem, all the hidden dangers will erupt. ”

Yang Hao nodded slowly, the opinions of Zhao Pu and Lu Duo represented not only the opinions of the two of them, but also the conclusions reached by the two outstanding prime ministers after comprehensively analyzing the situation in the whole world and integrating the opinions of many aspects. If the Northern Expedition was victorious, many of these problems, which would have taken a long time and required a lot of effort to solve, could be solved smoothly because of a major military victory, and if there was a delay, then it would be sharp

Strengthen these contradictions, and by the time they erupt naturally, everything will be out of control.

At present, his strategic goal is about to be achieved, and there is no progress in the attack on Youzhou, which is Nanjing, Liao, and is in the Han area, and is a farming area, and there is no problem with Youzhou's grain storage for three years, and this is the territory of Liao, and the people's desire is in Liao, not to mention that ordinary Han people in Liao have no good impression of the Song army, that is, ordinary people in the Central Plains are also not interested in the Northern Expedition.

If the war becomes a long-term war, consuming a large amount of financial, material, and military resources, and a large number of dead and wounded soldiers, and when the actual benefits of immediate results are not visible, the burden on the people in the country will become heavier and heavier, and the more and more relatives die, they will first become war-weary and anti-war, thus leading the entire social strata to passively resist the war layer by layer.

What Wang Shi Beiding Zhongzhan rì, what the Han people in the north live in dire straits, looking forward to Wang Shi's rescue, experiencing this era, seeing with his own eyes and hearing everything with his own ears, so that Yang Hao has already understood the true voice of the people: ordinary people don't care about your perfect martial arts, don't care about your unification, don't care about your territorial expansion, what they want is just a peaceful life and a rich life, this is the best emperor in their minds, so they don't use their blood and sweat to support you.

Yang Hao did not want to be reckless, and finally caused trouble that the people of Liao State established a righteous army to resist the Song Dynasty, and the people of Song State used various methods to passively resist the war launched by the imperial court, and even once again the smoke broke out, and the banner of righteousness was held high.

In his initial planning, he never thought about destroying the Liao State. Kill a thousand, self-damage 800, if you can really destroy the Liao State after the great injury, but in fact, this goal can not be done, the strength of the Liao State can not be ignored, the reason why the Liao State suffered this defeat, one is that the Song Dynasty reunited, the momentum was great, so that the Liao State was caught off guard, and it was completely passive in the early stage of the war.

The second is that in terms of specific tactics, the Song army still attacked Youzhou with a blitzkrieg, concentrating its superiority-troops, forming a fist with five fingers, and smashing directly into the key points, while the Liao army was slow to react, the battle line was delayed, and the source of troops was scattered.

The third is that the Song Army's intelligence work was well developed, and it was able to know the enemy and win every battle. Whether it is the movement of the Liao army or the combat terrain, the Song army's armament is well established in advance, on the other hand, the Liao army cannot even be detailed and specific in the report of spies and horse detectives, and it is strange that it is not defeated.

However, in these aspects, as long as Xiao Xuan can hold on to Youzhou, he can use time to slowly reverse it, especially the morale of the Liao Army, which will slowly coalesce, and Yang Hao has the heart to hold peace talks before this. Peace talks before the time has come are completely unnecessary, it is just a waste of time, and it will not achieve its own goals, and the Liao State will not make any concessions at that time, and now one by one

Now, have Murowei and Jurchen sent troops as agreed? Is my navy already behind enemy lines? These are the most crucial factors in my peace talks.

Yang Hao looked into the distance with his hands in his hands, and sighed softly, and the mist of white sè filled in front of him, hiding his god sè in the middle.

The navy of the Song State landed at Sanshanpu (present-day Dalian) and began to march towards Liaoyang, Tokyo, Liaoyang, where the main force had already gone to the aid of Youzhou, and in the northeast and due north, the Jurchens and the Murwei people were stupid, and the Khitans could not help but be shocked when they heard the news.

This Song army is a mixed army composed of the Bianliang forbidden army and the original Southern Tang Water Division, the number is less than 30,000, because it is a sea transport, there are not many cavalry, Yang Hao did not expect them to attack the city and plunder the village, and really occupy the rear of the Liao people, you must know that the Liao people are not divided into men, women and children, all of them are good at riding shè, now this huge force has not really been launched, once the Liao people realize that the death of the country is in front of them, that huge terrible energy will become a monstrous wave, and the Liao army will quickly replenish a large number of new forces.

Yang Hao sent troops behind enemy lines to invade Liaoyang, although he used the army, but the purpose was to plot "He wants to give the Liao army trapped in Youzhou a signal that the country is about to die, so that they will completely despair, only in this way can peace talks be possible." What could be more shocking than the presence of an army from a foreign country in a place they thought would never be possible?

Zhaoyun Sixteen Prefectures are Han inhabited areas, many traditional Khitan people who are still nomadic on the grassland, and do not regard this place as their homeland, this reason is that when Zhao Guangyi soldiers besieged Youzhou City, many Khitan nobles suggested giving up Yougui and guarding their homeland, not Zhao Guangyi's soldiers trapped in Youzhou City, which suddenly frightened all the Liao people's courage.

Youzhou is trapped, for many Khitan traditional nobles, there is no feeling of pain, and the emperor and the queen mother are in Youzhou, as long as Youzhou is not broken, they will not despair and fear, and now, if a Song army suddenly appears in the rear that they think is impregnable, this kind of psychology will be defeated, the core power class of the Liao State, "The great nobles of the Khitan Eight Clans will be frightened, and their vacillation and timidity will directly affect Xiao Xuan's decision.

Yang Hao knew that this young woman who was as glamorous as a peach blossom, decisive in killing, resolute and resolute, was actually stronger than countless men, if it wasn't for shaking her fundamentals and letting her bear both internal and external pressure, she would never give in to herself. She's the kind of ...... If she fell into her hands, she would rather kill him with a knife with her own hands, and then spend her life thinking and suffering, and never succumb to the woman of her feelings, in this regard, she is stronger than Zhe Ziyu.

The Liao State Tokyo guards sent people to Shangjing in a panic, and the royal family members in Shangjing were shocked when they heard the news, and they could not understand the specific situation there from the report of the Tokyo stay-at-home, and they did not know how many people the Song army had come, and how many places they had captured, they only knew their hometown, and before Yelu Abaoji established the country, Xiudag had been nomadic in his homeland for generations, and now there are also Song soldiers wandering there.

Xijing was in flames, Tokyo was full of gunsmoke, Nanjing was ambushed on all sides, the aftermath of the rebellion in Shangjing was turbulent, internal and external troubles, and the country could not hold the country.

The magnates, chieftains, royal family, and clan relatives in Shangjing, especially the members of the Xiao family who resolutely supported all of Xiao Sui's decisions, also breathed a sigh of relief, and finally went to Beijing to stay in the room to personally select the confidant general, Pegasus rushed to Youzhou, the only instruction that the general got was: This left-behind representative of the Khitan Eight Clan, the kings of Shangjing, all the civil and military ministers, give you the Tiger Fu Golden Arrow, you can mobilize any army that is stationed on the periphery of Youzhou, as long as you can break into Youzhou, your army can die, you can also die, However, the military situation in Tokyo and the common opinions of the royal family, clansmen, chiefs, and magnates in Beijing must be sent to the Queen Mother!"
