Yelu Chun did not survive until the day when Song and Liao united to resist Jin, maybe this day will never come, but he still looks forward to it, he is a Liao person, the emperor of the Liao people, he hopes that the country can continue to exist more than anyone else, although the Liao country is in danger now, but he sees the future of the Liao country from Yelu Dashi's body, he believes that the future of the Liao people, the future of the Khitan people, is on this young man's body, and then he closed his eyes.

And the premise of all this is that Yan Yun is not lost, if Yan Yun is lost, the Liao people will never have a chance to come back, he has such a hunch, if Yan Yun is lost now, the Liao State will be gone, and the Liao State in the future will no longer be the current Liao State, Song Liao has fought for Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures for so many years, and he gritted his teeth and insisted on not giving up Yan Yun when he died, so that the Liao State could suppress the Song Dynasty for so many years, if Yan Yun was lost now, the Liao people would never come back.

The world's most powerful productivity and the most vigorous creativity belong to the Han people, God gave the ability of civilization to the Han people, no other nation can surpass the Han people in this point, anyway, Yeluchun does not know that anyone can surpass the Han people in civilization, but fortunately, God is still fair, giving the Han people unparalleled ability to civilize, but did not give them unparalleled combat effectiveness, so they are always sheep, they keep themselves in captivity, occasionally mutate a few tigers, and they can't beat the wolves on the grassland.

Only by gaining the productivity and creativity of the Han people can they survive, and the strange thing is that as long as all the Han people are lost, whether they have mastered the most advanced Han technology or not, they will be wiped out by the Han people in a short time, and at that time, the Han people have newer technology, and the Han people who leave the group no longer have creativity, only productivity remains.

Therefore, life can be lost, but Yan Yun cannot be lost!

With such a will, Yelu Chun entrusted the future of the Liao State to the Yelu Dashi he favored, and entrusted his queen Xiao Puxian and young son to the young Yelu Dashi, Yelu Dashi began to take charge of the Liao ** political power in the Yanyun region, while sending a list to find the five sons of the former deposed emperor Tianzuo Emperor Yelu was designated as the new emperor, and then took charge of the military and political power, deployed defenses in the Yanyun area, discharged a large number of scouts to reconnoiter the movements of the Jin army, and at the same time sent an envoy to the Song Dynasty for help.

The emperor of the Song people, the emperor of most of the Han people, the noble and incomprehensible Song official Zhao Ji, has ordered his most capable "Wenchen" privy envoy Zhang Ying as the commander, and the most loyal eunuch Tan Zhi led 200,000 "elite" forbidden troops to the Northern Expedition to Yanyun, and the target - the Liao people.

Just like an old lady pinching persimmons, people like to find someone weaker than themselves to start, and in the face of someone stronger than themselves, there is always a trace of fear, and it is difficult to decide whether to start, so whether it is Zhao Ji or Zhang Ying who accepts his fate or the loyal Tan Zhi, they all decided to play a classic war game of love and killing with their very familiar old opponents and even old friends Liaoren, rather than joining forces with the Jurchens, who have never met their "allies", to deal with Liao.

Who knows what the Jurchens are? It is better to close the country before they come, which Emperor Huizong also has a rare reminder of this.

Zhang Ying had a very uneasy feeling in the face of the Jurchens who could beat the Liao people, especially since this Jurchen tribe had established their own country, and the closer they got to the Yanyun region, the more uneasy Zhang Ying felt.

Especially passing by the important military farms in Hebei along the way, Zhang Ying was stunned to find that the military facilities in these places had basically collapsed, and the garrison of the forbidden army was still festering, not to mention the Xiang army and the people's army.

However, the Han people who are familiar with the laws of the grassland peoples going south must know that the steppe wolves must go south to hunt in the late autumn when the wind is high, that is the time when the cattle and sheep on the grassland are fat, and the war horses are strong, and it is the time when the combat effectiveness is the strongest, and they will leave at the beginning of summer.

They are not afraid of the cold, but the Han people have always had the custom of not using troops in winter, although the law was broken by Bai Qi more than a thousand years ago, but in winter, the Han people really cannot give full play to their combat effectiveness.

When Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Song Dynasty, was established, Emperor Taizu Zhao Kuangyin thought about moving the capital to Chang'an, but failed to succeed, so the capital Kaifeng was decided, but after the failure of Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition, he faced an extreme disadvantage, and he wanted to change the reality of the North China Plain after losing the sixteen states of Yanyun, so he summoned his think tanks to find a way, and finally came up with a solution that was not a way.

Digging ditches, diverting water, introducing sea water and the Yellow River water into the North China Plain, in a certain position north of the Yellow River and south of Yanyun, a long belt of water was dug up, muddy land, and more trees were planted, trying to make the mud and trees delay the assault of the Liao army's iron cavalry, so that the Song army had a time to prepare, and even trapped the Liao army in this swamp.

But this is not a swamp after all, after the alliance of the Yuanyuan, there has been no war in Hebei for a hundred years, the armaments have been slack, the military camps have become vegetable markets, and there are still people to maintain the swamp military land? It's been done a long time ago, it's useless at all, Zhang Ying has been shocked by what he saw and heard all the way, and he quickly realized that if this continues, they are finished! There is no chance of victory, or there is a victory, but there is no backup! The same failure!

The military characteristics of the Northern Song Dynasty are that the central government is strong and the local vacuum, except for the large number of permanent forbidden troops in Sijing, and the border army with a special establishment in the frontier, the local box army can be ignored, that is a miscellaneous soldier, there is no force at all in the locality, once the Liao people break through the border defense line, then Hebei has almost no troops to counterattack except for the Beijing Daimyo Mansion and the Zhending Mansion Hejian Mansion.

Once you collapse and the border defense collapses, then the whole of Hebei will be finished.

Yue Chuan said at the beginning, Hebei overturned, maybe it really may happen! Even not only Hebei, Jiangbei has the possibility of overturning, and the tragedy of the Eastern Jin Dynasty may even really happen to the Great Song Dynasty!

We must find a way, even if it is death, even if the whole army is annihilated, we must ensure that there will be no northern enemy going south, or we must arrange a good defense line, at least until the Western Army rushes to the Central Plains to support, otherwise, Kaifeng Mansion will be in danger!

What's the solution? Where's the solution? The whole Hebei is in chaos like this, rotten like this, and he only has military power, no political power, and even military power has to be constrained by the prison army, fortunately, the prison army is the old partner Tan Zhi, after Tan Zhi saw the real situation in Hebei, his face was also pale, and he hurriedly wrote a recital, and discussed with Zhang Ying all night what to do, he was loyal, and he could even die for the emperor, so there was no need to worry that he would do things that would harm the Great Song Dynasty.

Consult with him.

"The land of Hebei, the erosion is so far, I can be regarded as an eye-opener, I couldn't think of it before, but it has come to this point, San Lang, how do you think this is good? We only have 200,000 people, and there are no 400,000 soldiers in this Hebei land, how can we hold it! Tan Zhi and Zhang Ying have a good relationship in private, so Tan Zhi also calls Zhang Ying San Lang in private, and he is even more worried at this time.

Zhang Ying sighed and said with a wry smile: "In the early years, when Xiangzhou put down the rebellion, I should have thought that thousands of bandits were rampant in Hebei, and hundreds of thousands of forbidden troops in the Daimyo Mansion did not dare to move. These black-hearted bastards! Sooner or later, the Great Song will be harmed! Hebei's armaments have been eroded to this point, and I am powerless to wait for the heavens, so I can only play it to the official family and see how the official family decides! ”

Tan Zhi gritted his teeth and said: "I think, it is better for you and me to play the same role, persuade the officials not to go on the Northern Expedition, at least not for the time being, rectify the armaments of Hebei on the spot, and then carry out the Northern Expedition when the armaments are a little more sufficient, otherwise, in this situation, the grain and grass will not be able to be transported!" How else do we fight? ”

Zhang Ying frowned, and finally nodded helplessly: "At present, there is only this, but, Brother Tan, looking at the actions of the official family these days, I think, this thing will not be successful, we will probably have to go up hard in the end, this battle, I am afraid that it will be more auspicious, I don't care, you are an important person by Your Majesty's side, in charge of important secrets, if there is something bad at that time, you must go first, by the way, help me bring a few letters back, I am the commander-in-chief, I can't lead the soldiers to win, at least, and to die with them. ”

Tan Zhi's eyes were slightly red, and he held Zhang Ying's hand tightly: "San Lang doesn't dislike me as a eunuch, he is willing to open his heart to me, I am already very grateful, if it wasn't for San Lang leading the army to help, I would have died in battle, and now in this situation, how can I abandon San Lang and escape alone?" I am a dog of the official family, there is no more than me, there is no less than me, if I die, I will die, it's not a big deal, San Lang is the Wenqu star in the sky, one less is terrible, I can't die if San Lang dies, now, I don't want to say anyone else, everyone is safe and loyal to the country! ”

Zhang Ying closed her eyes, her heart full of helplessness and sadness......
