The hearts of the people in the world are fluctuating, and there are rumors in the streets, I am afraid that the Great Song Dynasty will end here. The idea of the guest to update the book is the fastest to remember the idea of silukeyzuu

It is normal for the people to think like this, since the end of the Tang Dynasty, the princes are numerous, you sing and I appear, the country name is changed like a marquee, and now the Shu, Tang, and Han lords of the country have not passed on the second and third forty or fifty years, although the Song State has unified the Central Plains, but in real terms, the country is only more than ten years old, and it is far from reaching the point of returning to the heart of the world.

As a result, Youzhou was defeated first, and the 300,000 army fell into the water, and then the Western Xia issued the "Asking for Zhao Jiong Order", and Zhao Defang, the king of Qi, was the bitter master. Before Zhao Guangyi could figure out how to deal with this crisis, he was beheaded in the camp of 100,000 troops, and the crown prince hurriedly succeeded to the throne.

Zhao Yuanzuo's order was changed and indecisive, and it seemed that some abnormal news stimulated by the violent death of his father had spread in Bianliang City. Don't look at the Nine Heavens of the Deep Palace, in fact, there are few impermeable walls in the palace, the royal family of the Great Song Dynasty has always been relatively close to the people, and the palace ban is not as strict as other dynasties, so this matter cannot be hidden from the people of the capital.

With such an official family, the big Liao tiger and wolf went south in an instant, Longyou Guanzhong entered the Western Xia, the Bashu rebel army rose again, and Jiangnan sāo did not stop, not to mention ordinary people, even the ministers of the Manchu Dynasty were panicked.

At the same time as the Song State retreated, Wu Xuan quickly drew up a counterattack plan, relying on the morale of the high-spirited, integrating the troops and horses from all walks of life to rescue Nanjing on the spot, and defending to attack himself The Great Song State is facing domestic instability, people's minds change, and the situation of using troops on both sides is a strong enemy.

For military affairs, Zhao Guangyi is a military theorist, far less than his brother, but if you really want to talk to him about military affairs, he can also say that the head is the Tao, and the crown prince Yuanzuo doesn't know anything about military affairs. Fortunately, although he is not capable and the state of jīng is extremely unstable, but Zhao Yuanzuo has Zhang Bo and Wu Luo Ke enemy in Chinese, and Zhao Yuanzuo is an idealess, everything is according to the ideas of the two, but it is also temporarily at the mercy of the open.

Zhang Bo and Luo Kedi, one does not cultivate personal morality, is mean and unkind, and the other has bad intentions, and has long been against his Lao Tzu's thoughts, just these two people are the civil and military team left to him by his father. But in terms of talent, these two people really don't have to say, at the moment, no matter what they think in their private hearts, they have to fight the jīng god first imperial captivity, and really let the Khitan people release the Central Plains, it is not a joke.

In view of this, Zhang and Luo cooperated sincerely, and after some discussion, Emperor Shangjuan allowed Li Jilong, Liu Tingrang, and Tian Chongjin to deploy Cangzhou, Yingzhou, and Dingzhou respectively to defend the three passes. Originally, before this, Li Jilong was ordered to lead the border army alone, but this time it was not like going on an expedition, but a defense, so that each major pass must have its own commander, who can make decisions at any time according to the situation of the enemy and us, and it would be a mistake to let Li Jilong take over the military power, not that he had the intention to divide his military power.

In the early days of the war, both sides had their own victories and defeats, although the morale of the Song army was not high, after all, the battle was geographically advantageous, so the Liao army did not take too much advantage, the war report was transmitted to Tokyo, and the Di newspaper was distributed to the world, and the people gradually felt at ease, feeling that although the Song army suffered a defeat, the Liao people did not seem to be as terrible as they imagined.

But the commander-in-chief of the Liao army is Yelu Hugo is a real commander, and no one can recognize his good at the moment, the Song State self-examines the reasons for the failure of the Northern Expedition, although it is not said on the surface, but secretly they tend to think that the first emperor made a mistake in using troops, so that it was a big defeat, and Yelu Hugo's victory was still a greater element of luck.

In fact, the current stalemate situation is simply out of the arrangement of Yelu Hugo, he doesn't care about these small wins and small defeats, his goal is the main force of the Song army, what he wants is to break through and advance into the Central Plains, and this is not an overnight thing, he is waiting for opportunities, and he is also creating opportunities. This opportunity was finally waited for by him.

After a stalemate between the two sides, Tian Chongjin gained a firm foothold and began to launch a counterattack tentatively. Tian Chongjin is not presumptuous, it is the intention of the imperial court to take the initiative to attack, and the official saying is to keep the enemy out of the country, but the real reason is that the current military and popular hearts are not available, and the Song State urgently needs a big victory to save all this. dream

Tian Chongjin's victory was transmitted back to Kaifeng, and the entire Kaifeng City was like the New Year, "the hearts of the people who had been in turmoil for a long time finally settled down somewhat." Zhao Yuanzuo was overjoyed and immediately issued an order, ordering Liu Tingrang, Li Jilong, and the three armies to do their best to recover the lost territory. Zhang Bo and Luo Kedi hurriedly dissuaded them when they heard this, thinking that they should seek victory in stability and accumulate small victories for big victories, but Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't wait, although he was indecisive in doing things, but once he recognized a truth, he was extremely paranoid, and Jiuniu couldn't pull him back.

The holy decree was issued, and the order was to keep the troops still, and Liu Tingrang and Li Jilong, who had been holding on to the enemy, immediately sent troops to expand the results of the battle, and must recapture the territory abandoned due to the failure of the Northern Expedition in one battle. Liu Tingrang and Li Jilong received the holy decree and had to do it according to the order, but both of them were honest and serious generals, and after some deliberation, they decided to act as safely as possible, with Liu Tingrang's troops as the vanguard and Li Jilong's troops as the rear army, taking care of the front and rear and counterattacking.

In fact, according to Li Jilong's meaning, it is most appropriate to seek stability at the moment, but the current difficulties of the Song State are not only on the side of the Northern Kingdom, and the pressure on the Song State is not only the military aspect, a big victory, especially the great victory in recovering the territory of the Northern Kingdom that fell to the Northern Kingdom due to the defeat and retreat of the Northern Expedition, is too important for the Song State, and its significance is by no means just a victory in the war. And the saint is in such a hurry, he may not have the intention of saving face for the first emperor in his heart. He's one

The general of the food monarch and the uncle of the current saint, in public and private, has no reason to contradict him, so he can only fully cooperate.

Yelu Xiuge has always ambushed the main force, without any contact with the Song army, they are all cavalry, coming and going, strong mobility, it is difficult for the scouts of the Song army to contact them, so as to find useful information, and the Liao army's banner number is relatively chaotic, and it is more difficult to see its details from a distance, so I never knew that the Liao army hid an absolute main force.

Liu Ting let the troops go north first, its vanguard is the Pingzhou regiment training envoy He Lingtu, this general is a family of generals, Yin Bu is an official, and has no combat experience, he has never fought with the Liao, but there is a kind of newborn Niu Te is not afraid of the tiger's spirit, led the headquarters of the soldiers and horses to attack the Junzi Pavilion between the rivers in Hebei, just encountered the headquarters of Yelu Huge's soldiers and horses, as soon as the battle, the Liao army retreated. Immediately afterwards, Yelu Hugo sent an envoy to say that he was afraid of the strength of the Song army and intended to surrender.

Yelu Hugo sent someone casually, just to ridicule He Lingtu, he also knew that the Song army could not be fooled, but it could be delayed for a while, even if the Song army generals were to check the calculations, his real purpose was to lure Liu Tingrang's main force into his encirclement, the people in front of him were too thin for him, and this little sheep was not enough for him to stuff his teeth.

However, an unbelievable scene appeared, He Lingtu actually believed it, not only believed it, but also was so excited that he only took a few dozen of his own soldiers and ran to the camp of Yelu Hugo to surrender. Ye ^ Zi ~ Yu $ Yu yzuu

Gaolianghe killed and retreated the 300,000 army of the Song State in a battle, and the Liao State that drove Zhao Guangyi to flee every day was greater than Yue Yelu Huge said casually, he actually really believed that people were afraid of his military might.

Yelu Hugo was planning a plan to encircle and annihilate the Song army with the generals under his command in the big tent of the Chinese army, and he was startled when he heard the report from his own soldiers, he didn't expect that a general of the Song State would actually ...... Unexpectedly...... How can it be so stupid?

Yelu Hugo didn't believe the report of the pro-soldier until this time, he personally ran out of the big tent, saw the triumphant He Lingtu on the horse, and then listened to him personally report his identity, Yelu Hugo knew that it was not the pro-soldier who was full of food and joking with him, Yelu Hugo couldn't cry or laugh, and immediately asked someone to hang this innocent child, looking at his deity, Yelu Hugo was angry and funny, but he didn't ask anyone to beat him.

However, since this vanguard officer sent it to the door himself, Yelu Xiuge was not polite to him, and directly asked people to surround He Lingtu's vanguard troops and eat them in one bite, Yelu Xiuge originally wanted to use this Song army as bait, this move, the main general He Lingtu was not there, no one commanded up and down, and no one ran away, and as a result, the role of the vanguard was completely lost, and Liu Tingrang, who led the team behind him, did not know anything about it.

As a result, Liu Tingrang got into the encirclement of Yelu Huge, and more than 100,000 troops surrounded Liu Tingrang's 30,000 horses. Liu Tingrang put up a ring formation to resist desperately, and the infantry of the Song army was invincible in the world, fighting positional battles head-on, majestic, and never broke through Liu Tingrang's defensive front.

Liu Tingrang made people break through again, and urgently reported to Li Jilong, Li Jilong, who came from behind, couldn't help but be shocked when he learned the news, and the deputy general Sang Jing, who reported the news, was covered in blood, and let people hold the hoarse voice and said: "My lord, General Liu is leading the army to fight hard, and if it is delayed for a long time, I am afraid that the whole army will be wiped out, please send reinforcements quickly!" ”

Li Jilong's generals had red eyes, and they were all gearing up to fight, Li Jilong paced slowly, for a long time, turned his head and asked: "Liao army, how many people are there?" ”

Sang Jing said: "In the opinion of the last general, at least no less than 100,000 people, if General Liu has lasted a day and night, he can no longer delay." ”

Li Jilong's eyes narrowed slightly, and he slowly shook his head and said, "Since you have seen 100,000 people, then there are more than 100,000 people in his hands." 100,000 iron horsemen, on the land of Pingchuan, attacked 30,000 foot soldiers who rushed to the point where there was no danger to defend, and they actually held out for a day and night without being defeated? Come...... Come ......"

Miscellaneous battles were in a hurry, his eyes were red, and he roared angrily: "Li Jilong, what do you mean, aren't you cowardly and not fighting?" “

Li Jilong's personal soldiers approached with their swords and shouted, "Bold, what do you say?" “

Li Jilong waved his hand to stop his subordinates' reckless movements, and looked up and sighed: "We have been tricked, and we go to the rescue, but it is just a moth to fight the fire, as much as we go, we will throw it in, we should have defended it, we should not have taken the initiative to send troops at all, we should not have taken the initiative to send troops at all......

He turned around and shouted: "Order the three armies, the rear formation will become the front formation, and the troops will retreat!" ”

"I can't! General Lee, you can't! Sang Zhan burst into tears: "Lord Liu is besieged and struggling to support, and 30,000 brothers are looking forward to us to save their lives, General Li, you can't do it!" ”

Li Jilong's face was pale, his cheeks twitched a few times, seeing that his friendly army was surrounded, but he wanted to abandon it and flee, he was also like a knife, but he knew that this was by no means the time to be emotional, he shouted loudly: "Didn't you hear the generals of Ben Shuai?" Retreat now! “

He strode out a few steps, and shouted in a deep voice: "At this time, I am afraid that it is too late to withdraw the troops, and we cannot return the original way, so we can retreat to Leshou nearby, or we can protect our army according to the danger of the city,"

He said sadly, "We ...... We can't afford to fail again. ”

"Li Jilong has withdrawn?"

Yelu Xiuge, who was waiting for Li Jilong to throw himself into the net, was stunned for a long time when he heard the news before he reacted suddenly: "Xiao Tzulie, Ye Lu Xian, immediately lead your ambush to pursue Li Jilong, be sure to trip him, and when Ben Yuyue solves Liu Tingrang, he will immediately wave his army."

Cover up the past. ”

He hurriedly walked to the map and asked, "In what direction is Li Jilong retreating?" ”

The probe said: "Looking at its direction, it should be to retreat to Leshou in the hands of the Song army." ”

Yelu Hugo was stunned, and the excited look on his face gradually calmed down, and his fingers repeatedly pinched a few times on the map, as if to poke a hole in the part marked with Le Shou's location.

Xiao Tzulie couldn't wait to say: "Greater than Yue, should we go on the road immediately."

Yelu Xiuge smiled bitterly and shook his head: "You don't have to chase, you can't catch up." Li Jilong, what a Li Jilong! ”

His gaze turned to Liu Tingrang, who was still in a position under the hills, and his gaze gradually turned cold: "This bait is useless, eat it!" “

In the battle of Junziguan, Liu Tingrang fought his way out of the siege under the desperate protection of the generals, and only led dozens of light horsemen to flee back to the Song Realm, tens of thousands of troops died here, and the news was transmitted back to Bianliang, Tokyo, Zhao Yuanzuo was like five thunderbolts, sitting on the throne in a daze, and the courtiers said something, but they didn't say a word. Later, he suddenly jumped up and issued an edict to launch a full-scale counteroffensive at all costs, but was persuaded by Zhang Bo and Luo Kedi and others.

After that, Yelu Xiuge took advantage of the big victory to besiege Zhuozhou again, fought hard for several days and nights, Zhuozhou City was broken, and the Song army in the city was forced to surrender, and was incorporated into seven battalions of soldiers and horses by Yelu Xiuge, scattered into the Liao army, and went south together, all the way to conquer Qizhou, Xin'an, Little Wolf Mountain, and occupied Yizhou. When the news reached Bianliang, Zhao Yuanzuo was horrified, and he wanted to issue an edict ordering the defenders of each pass to clear the walls and not to fight.

Luo Ke's enemy thought that the enemy was strong and should not fight hard, but the specific situation was also determined by the border commander according to the situation of the former enemy, and the imperial court ordered that all theaters should not fight regardless of the strength of the enemy, and it was as inappropriate as the previous requirement that they must all take the initiative to fight, which provoked Zhao Yuanzuo to be furious, but fortunately, Cheng Yu, Jia Yan, Song Qi and other old courtiers favored by Zhao Guangyi also felt that Luo Kedi's words were reasonable, and they all spoke out in response, so he did not punish him, but still according to his intentions, issued an edict to the border generals.

Out of the noon gate, his own small school brought the war horse, Luo Kedi turned over on the horse, but he looked up to the sky and sighed, Song Guo reached the current situation, he felt that it was out of control before he tasted it, but this emperor ...... The order changes, moody, moody, emotionally changeable like a baby's face, crying and laughing, obviously not understanding military affairs, but like to intervene, and stubbornly do not listen to anyone's opinion, the emperor is the head of a country, how can he act so rashly?

The two edicts before and after, just a few intervals, actually judged two people, this alone is enough to consume the courage of the border soldiers, what strength can he Luo Ke enemy have to return to the sky? Zhao Guangyi didn't want to protect it, Zhao Guangyi's position was not right, and the legitimacy of his son's inheritance of the unification was naturally a big problem, but now the Song Kingdom was in the hands of this young son of heaven who was already a little unconscious, he could not care about Zhao Guangyi's father and son two generations of kings, but how could this Han country allow the Khitan barbarians to trample on it, as a privy council matter, and now the head of the Great Song army, how should he be good?

"Lord Luo......"

There was a horse galloping behind him, and the crown belt of the man on the horse was also a general.

Luo Kedi turned his head and recognized that it was the former Si Du Yu Hou Musi, so he returned the salute with a smile: "Lord Zhai." ”

This Zhai Musi was originally a middle-level general in the forbidden army, and his relationship with Zhao Guangyi, the king of Jin, was not far or close, compared to many senior generals who did not interact with the prince at that time, it was always much closer. Zhao Guangyi cleaned up the old ministers, he was also a general who got cover from it and was promoted, this person usually doesn't talk much, he is stable and old, and Luo Ke is more respectful to him.

"Your Excellency, are you worried about the border war?"

Luo Kedi smiled abruptly: "Why not stop the border pass? Over there in Guanzhong, now Chen Binghuang Pass, no advance or retreat, I don't know what the intention is, Bashu is blazing, Jiangnan is stupid, and the people in the capital are uneasy, alas! In such a situation, Luo is powerless. ”

Zhai Musi smiled and said: "My lord Wu Yong, the lower officials know it, but this military major event is actually more severe than it has ever been since the founding of our dynasty, and it is really difficult for adults, in fact, ...... What's the use of adults worrying alone here, why not ask someone for advice? ”

Luo Ke said to the enemy: "Ask for advice, who can this official ask for?" ”

Cui Musi covered her lips and coughed lightly, and said: "Your Excellency is now in charge of the country's military affairs, but in terms of official positions, it is only a matter of the Privy Council, and there are also privy envoys and privy deputy envoys above, and the two adults are invited to recuperate at home due to illness, so it stands to reason that they should not be disturbed, but at this time of national crisis, how can we, who are courtiers, only care about our own safety, Cao and Pan, the two adults, have experienced a hundred battles in their lives, and they always have experience and experience, perhaps...... Can you give an adult an idea? ”

"Oh?" Luo Kedi's eyes flashed slightly, revealing a contemplative sè, Zhai Yuhou smiled slightly, and arched his hand: "The lower official is ...... to leave."

"Seek advice from Cao Bin and Pan Mei? I'm afraid it's Cao Pan who has been summoned, so let's pass the word to him...... these two old generals who have already resigned from the court and are idle at home want me to go, what do you want to do? “

Luo Kedi pondered for a while, and wanted to go home to ask his son for advice, but now he thought about it, but he was really moved, his father looked at people and politics, it was all accurate, but militarily ...... After all, he is a literati, maybe Cao Bin and Pan Mei, the two founding generals, really have a clever plan to return to heaven?

Luo Kedi drove his horse forward a few steps, suddenly grabbed the reins, shook his horse's head suddenly, and shouted to the soldiers: "Go, go to Cao's Privy Mansion!" ”
