Li Wei said in the letter that a group of people, led by their empress dowager, gathered in front of the Song Dynasty's military camp every day, asking the Song army why the Dongying people could become Song people now, but they couldn't?

The Empress Dowager was even more radical, making a straw mat and sitting at the door of the Song army's barracks, declaring that if the Song Dynasty people did not give them the same treatment as the Dongying people, she would go on a hunger strike and starve to death in front of the Song army's barracks.

This move was echoed by the people of Goryeo, many of whom joined the ranks, and even a strong man even took a knife and gouged his stomach open to protest the unequal treatment of the Dongying and Goryeo people by the Great Song Dynasty.

Chen Yuan looked at Li Wei's letter, he was really surprised, this result was something he never expected. In contrast, Yelu Gollum is a little stubborn, if he has half the consciousness of the stick, why did the two sides get into trouble to this point?

Wen Yanbo was still needed to officially accept Goryeo, but Chen Yuan had to reply to Li Wei immediately. The queen mother can't really starve to death, and for those who are bent on submission, they must be well appeased.

Of course, resistance will inevitably exist, and Li Wei must not take it lightly at this time.

Chen Yuan believed that if the scholars of the Song Dynasty knew the current situation in Goryeo, they would definitely not refuse people thousands of miles away.

Chen Yuan put away Li Wei's letter and looked at Di Qing: "Big brother, the affairs of our family have almost been completed, now you have to be ready, and as soon as the matter of Yelu Negol is over, we will immediately send troops to fight Arabia!" ”

By now, the Song Dynasty had fully established its unshakable hegemony in East Asia, and as Fan Zhongyan thought, if the Song Dynasty sat down and digested the fruits of victory at this time, it would make the future development of the Song Dynasty smoother.

But Chen Yuan didn't want to be completely still, he believed that proper exercise could stimulate digestion. For example, the war against Arabia, as long as it is controlled within a certain scale, it will not do any harm to the Song Dynasty.

Central Asia is now a vassal state of the Arab Empire, an ancient empire infused with the blood of the Seljuk Turks, who would have lived much longer if it had not been for the Crusades that led the Seljuk Turks, and they were even capable of competing with the Mongols in the desert.

The crusades not only made the Arab Empire miserable, but also caused Europe's own power to suffer greatly. Even the last crusade, it was some children who took part in the battle.

Of course, Chen Yuan didn't want to give Arabia a chance to get back on his feet, this time Chen Yuan gathered all the cavalry forces of the vassal states, and tried to give this giant who had just regained his feet a heavy blow, even if he couldn't defeat him, he would not have the strength to challenge the Great Song Dynasty in the future, and the Song army could first manage the Western Regions lost by the Tang Dynasty due to the war, and open an exit on land.

Di Qing nodded: "Don't worry, the Mongolian mercenaries, as well as the Uighur and Tibetan armies are already in place, our own men and horses can leave at any time, and the key now is how many Liao cavalry we can take away." ”

Liu Ping said busily: "According to the current situation, the previous estimate of 300,000 people in charge of the shopkeeper is gone, but 200,000 is still okay." ”

Chen Yuan smiled bitterly: "Yelu Nie grunt! He became a hero, and I lost 100,000 horses in my hands! ”

After speaking, Chen Yuan opened a map of the Middle East, looked at the icons that the Song Dynasty had carefully marked on it, and his hand was pointed at Neishapur: "Here, big brother, you are optimistic about this location, the detailed painting may not be accurate, but you must give me this place." ”

Di Qing looked at it, he knew that it was the old nest of the Seljuk Turks, and once this place was laid, it would definitely cause a great shock to the psychology of the Turks. It is not easy to take this place, and the biggest difficulty is that the Song army can only take the way of rushing to carry out this battle, and the unfamiliarity of the road and the unfamiliarity of the desert environment doom the rush to be a very difficult thing.

However, Di Qing didn't say this, but gave Chen Yuan an answer with confidence: "There is no problem." ”

Chen Yuan said: "The younger brother is pressing you in the Uighurs, you can rest assured, if there is a problem in terms of material supplies, I will only ask." ”

Di Qing smiled and said the battle plan that had been brewed in his heart: "Shimei, you see, I plan to divide my troops into three routes, most of them will carry the Tibetans, and the Uighur sweet potato army will go out of the Uighurs in two ways to attack the Black Khan Empire with a pincer offensive, they must be asking the Arabs for help, we are here, and the Arabs will fight a dignified battle, and the pressure on the Chola Kingdom will be reduced." ”

This was Di Qing's strategy to attack and save him, and it was impossible for the Song army to attack the Black Khan Arabs, just as if the Arabs attacked the Uighurs, the Song Dynasty would definitely go back to meet them.

Di Qing's hand swiped on the westernmost part of Mongolia again: "In addition, I plan to send a part of the troops, and then let the Mongols cooperate, pass through here, and go straight to the nest of the Turks." Finish him off! ”

Di Qing's battle plan is very general, but the general is right, like the previous Song Dynasty planned all the actions of the generals in Bianjing, and it was impossible to win the battle.

A rough guideline plan is drawn up, and the detailed problems have to wait until they reach the border, and then work out in detail according to the geography, weather, opponent, and their own situation, which is the war. Chen Yuan was generally satisfied with Di Qing's strategy, Di Qing took the Black Khan as his main goal, which was destined not to stimulate the Arabs too much, the Song Dynasty needed a bridgehead in Central Asia, and the Song army needed to use certain means outside the battlefield in exchange for time to build this bridgehead.

Di Qing obviously understood this truth, and Chen Yuan smiled: "Big brother is in charge." ”

While they were planning for the next enemy, three days passed quickly, and more than 2,000 people around Yerune could not hold on, and left him in three days, and more than 1,000 died of hunger and thirst.

Chen Yuan had already forgotten the three-day appointment, or he didn't take the three-day appointment seriously at all. If he could, he would be willing to surround Yerune Gollum like this all the time, until there was no one around Yerune Gollum, and at that time it would be no problem to either catch him or let him go.

However, Yelu Gollum was a man who kept his promise at this time, and as soon as the dawn of the third day came, Bai Yutang came to tell Chen Yuan that Yelu Gollum in the camp had moved!

This really surprised Chen Yuan, and he hurriedly put on his clothes and walked outside, while the war drums of the various teams of the Song army also sounded.

When he came to the top of the city, he saw that Yelu Gollu and the remaining thousands of Liao cavalry had already mounted their war horses. He took the spear, wore the dragon robe, tied up his loose hair, and fixed his eyes in the direction of the city.

Chen Yuan shook his head: "Is he crazy?" At this time, you still want to hit the capital city? ”

When there were seventy or eighty thousand people in the Liao country, they couldn't rush over, and now he only had a few thousand people, Chen Yuan was a little surprised when he saw Yelu Gollum and put on a posture of wanting to rush into the capital. But it soon dawned on him that, in the words of the twenty-first century, Jeryne's grunt was to put himself in the path of the charge.

Even if the two sides were enemies, Chen Yuan still admired him a little in his heart. There are also more than 6,000 Khitan soldiers who followed Yelu Gollu, these people are all good, at least, they are worthy of the word warrior.

It may be that Jerone Gollum is just waiting for himself to appear in the city, and he may just want to show himself how different he is from himself. This is a guy who is unwilling to admit defeat, and when he arrives in this field, he still has to show that he is stronger than Chen Yuan. Including at the beginning, Li Yuanhao wanted to flee to Mongolia in the end, indifferent to life and death, only he could do it.

Bai Yutang whispered, "Do you want to persuade you to surrender again?" ”

Chen Yuan sighed: "Forget it, don't insult him." ”

Yelu Gollum just waited for Chen Yuan to come out, really, he just wanted Chen Yuan to see that the bravery he showed at this time was absolutely not available to people like Chen Yuan. When he saw Chen Shimei's banner raised at the head of the city, the corners of his mouth smiled, he turned his head to look at the soldiers behind him, and suddenly said loudly: "Brothers! If you leave now, I don't blame you! ”

The Khitan people behind him had firm eyes, they stared firmly ahead, staring at Yelu Gollum, no need to answer, the look had already told Yelu Gollum their current choice.

Jerion grunted, "Haha! Good! I, Yelune, can have you with me, and this life will be in vain! Carry the flag! ”

A Khitan veteran carried the banner of Yelu Ne's grunt in response, and the battle flag was blown by the wind and made a burst of sound, looking so desolate.

Chen Yuan at the head of the city moved his finger lightly: "Tell the brothers, give me a hard beating!" ”

For such an opponent, only going all out and beating him hard is the best respect for him.

The horn of the Liao people played the final swan song, and Yelu Gurr ran to the gate of Zhongjing first, and the thousands of Liao soldiers behind him let out the cry that rose from the bottom of his heart, and followed closely behind his horse.

On the opposite side of them, Yan Zhan's musket team was already waiting solemnly in the trenches, this time the Song army participated in the battle with more troops, not only the more than 200 artillery pieces in the city, just next to these thousands, there were also 100,000 Song soldiers with bows and crossbows aimed at them, and the gunners on both sides had already adjusted the position of the cannon body, just waiting for these Liao people to enter the pre-set strike area, and ten thousand cannons would be fired in unison!

Yelune Gollum could feel the sharp eyes of the Song Army's crossbowmen projecting at him, and under the gaze of countless pairs of such eyes, Yelu Gollum suddenly had a sense of accomplishment rising from the depths of his heart, his horse continued to run forward, and he continued to shout, those eyes became brighter and brighter, and he became more and more energetic.

"Kill......"

His arm raised his spear high, and the roar pierced the entire battlefield and drifted into Chen Yuan's ears, the yellow dragon robe was so piercing.

Those Khitans followed him and roared like crazy, but the Song army next to them stared at them, silent, still and moving, which filled this battlefield with a different atmosphere.

Fifty steps, as long as he rushed forward another fifty steps, the Song army would open fire. Chen Yuan really hoped that at this moment, Yelu Ngrune would suddenly stop, and then, he would take him to Arabia, let him help him complete the next war, and let him see that he could really give happiness to the Khitans, and he would not do worse than Yelu Ne Gollum.

But at last Jermane did not stop his horse, and he rushed so fast that he had at once crossed the distance of fifty paces.

Chen Yuan only heard Liu Ping shouting in his ear: "Release!" ”

The scene in front of him suddenly changed, thousands of shells flew from all directions towards those Liao people who were charging, and countless crossbow arrows flew everywhere.

Chen Yuan soon couldn't see the situation on the battlefield clearly, and all he could see was the dirt that flew up after the explosion of the round cannonball, and he couldn't even hear the shouts of the Liao people.

Yan Zhan's musket team created a cloud of smoke on the battlefield and shot there desperately, he remembered what Chen Yuan said, to fight harder!
