The soldiers have no will to fight, they will have no fighting spirit, and they may be able to describe the current situation of the Great Song Army, or not only the Northern Expeditionary Army under Zhang Ying, but also the entire Great Song Army outside the Western Army.

The consequences and complications of the unjust war were finally revealed, and Zhang Ying understood why the great power of soldiers from ancient times to the present day has emphasized a central idea without exception -- the division is famous.

People are ashamed, and there is a bottom line of shame, not everyone is skinless and shameless, most people have normal shame, especially in military affairs, it is not a simple mercenary can be decided, more often, the division is famous, let yourself and the enemy admit it, this is a very important thing for the army, and it is even more important for the country.

The importance of faith and righteousness for people and countries is self-evident, because interests can determine whether war sprouts, and whether war occurs must be because of whether the division is famous, and a military strongman like Hitler also found a good reason to start a war, so that others could not refute it, at least not from the legal point of view, so he was able to launch a war in a grand manner, and even the Japanese knew how to make excuses for starting a war, so it can be seen how important it is for the division to be famous.

People want face, the country wants face, the army is used to maintain the face of the country in many cases, you make the army feel ashamed, then you are finished, the army will not have the will to fight, whether it is the past, present or future, it is always human beings who decide the war, the army composed of human beings, the army without the will to fight, can it win the war?

More than 100 years ago, the Han and Khitan people had a deep blood feud, whether it was Chai Rong or Zhao Kuangyin or Zhao Guangyi, it was easy to start a war against the Khitan, no one objected, but someone raised a hidden danger, and more than a hundred years later, the Han people who had been fighting with the Khitan truce for many years, including the Khitans, did not want to have a war with each other anymore, the previous 100 years of war in exchange for a sea of blood and scars on both sides, more than 100 years of truce in exchange for peaceful development, which is better?

In a word, the Han people did not want to invade the Khitan in the north, and the Khitan did not want to invade the Han people in the south.

An alliance of the Yuanyuan allowed the Han and Khitan people to captive each other.

The times are different, the blood feud between the Han and the Khitan people has long been gradually faded with more than a hundred years of peaceful development and friendly exchanges, and the repetition of the old things will only bring unnecessary troubles to everyone. The obsession with the sixteen states of Yanyun has also passed with the passage of time, and everyone is safe and sound, which is good, isn't it? In that era, when the national consciousness was not strong enough, people cared more about their own personal interests than about military affairs.

Emperor Zhao Song also insisted on the sixteen states of Yanyun because of the last wish of his ancestors and the consideration of the country's strategic direction, not because he was a Han Chinese, but because he wanted to regain the country.

It's as if the Ming Dynasty overthrew the Mengyuan not because of national consciousness, but because of hunger, so it took the old road and changed the dynasty.

In the eyes of ordinary people, in the eyes of ordinary people in the Great Song Dynasty, and even in the eyes of many people in the ruling class, the sixteen states of Yanyun have long been not the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, they were born after the fall of Yanyun, and they have not experienced the thrilling war launched by the Taizu Dynasty and the Taizong Dynasty in order to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun, they just look at the Han people in the sixteen states of Yanyun with a very general eye, just like we look at overseas Chinese today, the same clan and the same clan, but not the same land.

Is such a war really right? Now it is not the Liao people who want to destroy peace and daily life, but the Jurchens, why don't we fight the Jurchens, but come to fight the Liao people, take 10,000 steps back, why should we participate in this war that does not belong to us? We joined, it's okay to win, what if we defeat? The Liao people can't beat the Jurchens, so we can beat them? Are we tougher than this Yanyun Army? Can we defeat them?

Zhang Ying didn't know, maybe he knew, but he couldn't admit it anyway, the Great Song Dynasty had an army that could defeat the Liao people, and even the Jurchens, but that army was too small in number, and it was still beating the Western Xia party members, and they didn't have the time to participate in this conspiracy war, this unjust war, even if they participated, the iron-clad men could endure such humiliation?

The Liao people are legitimate defense, and they are the shameful sneak attackers of the unknown division!

Zhang Ying looked at the army without morale and will to fight, what was the mood in his heart, Tan Zhi standing beside him may be understandable, but he was surprised not to see Zhang Ying angrily reprimanding the army, and then forced the army to attack Yanyun in spirit, the Liao envoy was not killed after all, but with a defeated look and dead eyes, he left the Song military camp with a swaying look, before leaving, he looked up at the Song character battle flag above his head, and the battle flag hung weakly......

There is no hope, the sixteen states of Yanyun are destined to fall under the iron hooves of the Jurchens and be ravaged, the Song people of the same clan and clan are unwilling to help them, and it seems that they have no ability to help at all, they are just a group of walking corpses who have lost the will to fight, let alone help the Liao people, even if they really participate in the flanking strategy with the Jurchens, they are only dragging their feet.

Liao was the first alien state to allow a large number of Han people to enter the highest decision-making level and set up its own door for self-sufficiency and self-autonomy, before that, no alien country had opened its core power group so much to allow Han people to enter, and the war between Song and Liao was not so much a war between the Han and the Khitans, but a war between the Han people and the Khitans under the command of the Han and the Khitans and the Han people.

Or it can also be said to be a war of wits and courage between Han people of different nationalities and Han people, since the establishment of the Liao State, it is the division of the north and south courts, the north court manages the Khitans, the south court manages the Han people, and even their famous Empress Dowager Xiao Yanyan's chief and only lover Han Derang, the man who became the uncrowned king of the Liao State in the later period is the Han people.

Is there such a foreign country in the world? It's not so much that the Khitans and the Han people fought for hundreds of years, but that the Han and the Han people fought for hundreds of years, and in the end it was still the Han people, and the Jurchens were different, outright aliens, barbarians!

If at this moment, the interests of Song and Liao have reached a high degree of agreement, then the Jurchens are outright violators of interests, and if they do not unite to fight against the Jurchens at this time, they deserve to be so miserable that the Song Dynasty will perish, people will always have to pay for their own stupidity, and the emperor will also pay for his stupidity, and the miserable life of Emperor Huizong and Emperor Qinzong in the second half of their lives is to pay for this.

And what about Zhang Ying, what mistake did Zhang Ying make? What did Tan Shu do wrong? Is loyalty wrong? Is there a mistake in executing the command? Loyalty is the highest moral code of a courtier, and it is a soldier's duty to carry out orders, which is an eternal truth, Zhang Ying is not only a courtier, but also the first soldier at this moment, so, what he did, is there something wrong? For Song Ting, for Emperor Daojun, is he wrong?

Zhang Ying is not wrong.

The reason why he faced such a situation was just to pay the bill with Emperor Huizong, the price was too high, so high that he couldn't bear it, he finally had to face the reality, in the face of his incompetent and fragile reality, he couldn't give a mandatory order, and ordered the army to wage war against the sixteen states of Yanyun without hesitation, he really couldn't do it, and the army couldn't do it either, this was an unjust war, and when it started, there was no bottom in his heart, but the Han people of Liao were defending their land, and they were defending themselves.

For ten days in a row, no orders were issued from Zhang Ying's tent, and the Song army stagnated, which made the two people very anxious.

Yelu Dashi had just finished deploying defense facilities and battle plans on the front line, and even announced the idea of joining the Song army and joint operations to the generals of the Liao army, they planned the war on the premise that the Song army joined, and the total number of troops of 300,000 soldiers and horses was planned, but the news from Youzhou City shocked Dashi and the generals of the Liao army, and then, Dashi was so angry that he couldn't help himself, pulled out his sword and cut off the case table in front of him, which was just completed by the draft of the Song Dynasty anti-Jin strategy.

Why did the Song people do this? Don't they know the truth of the cold lips and teeth? Don't they know that the Liao State has been defeated, and the next one must be them? At this time, if you don't come to help Liao, you have to stab you in the back, how stupid are the Song people?

Zhang Liang, the envoy of the Liao State who sent the Song military camp, arrived at the front line of Juyong Pass in despair, and expressed everything he had seen and heard to Dashi, and Dashi realized painfully that everything was irreparable, and it was not the Jurchens who caused all this, but the Song people, who rescued the Jurchen devil from the abyss with their own hands, not anyone, but the Song people themselves.

Why are the Song people so stupid? Can't they see that the Jurchen is the real devil? Don't they know what it will bring to themselves? Have they forgotten the story of the farmer and the snake, Dashi remembers very clearly, it was his mother who told him when she was very young, there is a kind of person in this world, no matter how miserable he is, you don't want to save him, they are devils, real devils, save them, you will regret it.

Dashi held the table weakly, looked at the troop distribution map he had arranged before, smiled bitterly, shed tears, and threw this troop allocation map to the ground, burned it, it's over, everything is over, the combat effectiveness of the Liao army of 100,000 people is definitely not comparable to the combat effectiveness of the Jurchen 100,000 regular soldiers and more than 200,000 servant troops, and now, the 300,000 Jin army is already on the way to attack, 300,000 iron cavalry, 300,000 bloodthirsty devils, and 100,000 Liao troops look so fragile in front of them.

There is always such a danger as Juyong Pass, Yelu Dashi does not have enough confidence to hold Yanyun, it is really far from the difference in strength, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, when the Liao State could pinch the Jurchens to death with one finger, they did not do so, and now that the Jurchens are strong, they can pinch the Liao people to death.

In the night of no one, Dashi shed tears, after dawn, appeared in front of the Liao army is still the iron-clad and unyielding Yelu general, therefore, the Yanyun Corps still has the strength of a battle, Dashi divided 30,000 troops, sent a powerful general to lead the south, gathered 100,000 newly recruited Han troops in the Yanyun area, a total of 130,000 soldiers and horses to guard Yanyun Yunnan Xinjiang, and continued to lead 70,000 elites to defend Juyong Pass.

Emperor Huizong was also very anxious, he heard the news in the army, Zhang Ying did not move, no order was issued for more than ten days, the army did not have the will and idea to fight, the "great opportunity" was about to be lost, how could he not be in a hurry? He immediately ordered the eunuchs around him to go to the front line of Yanyun with the Sword of Heaven to supervise the battle, and asked the eunuchs to bring a message to Zhang Ying.
