Chapter 139: Dominating the World

Soon, Brother Yelu Ti knew what Yang Hao was doing.

Yang Hao is assembling a large army, horse army, infantry army, fleet, grain and grass, a large number of fleets, a large number of grain and grass, mules, horses, ox carts......

There has only been one time before with such a huge momentum, and that is when Zhao Guangyi drove straight into Youzhou and attacked Youzhou.

The Song army rarely held large-scale military operations in Dongli, in addition to the inconvenience of transportation, the main reason was to restrain the Liao army's iron cavalry, the Song army was equipped with a large number of archers, and the bowstring was mostly leather strings, the cold weather in the north would make the bowstring tension insufficient, so that the Song army, which was the main force of the infantry army, lost the greatest war advantage, so winter has always been a good rì for the cavalry of the Northern Dynasty to disturb the Southern Dynasty to "fight the grass valley", but now the Song army has supplemented a large number of cavalry, and the Qilai of the bow and crossbow has been greatly reduced, The Song State was already capable of launching a large-scale winter offensive.

November 9, rushing to the north of the monkey, it is advisable to sacrifice, dismantle, break ground, raise the foundation and beam, and open the market.

Yang Hao took Pan Mei as the commander, Li Huating, Liu Tingrang, and Tong Yu as the generals, led more than 100,000 troops, and the troops went out of Waqiao Pass in Xiongzhou, attacking Guiyi, and Fan Yang;

With Li Jilong as the commander, Tian Chongjin, Cui Yanjin, and Mi Xin as the generals, he led more than 100,000 troops, and the troops went out of Bazhou Gaijin Pass, attacking Yongqing and Anci;

The soldiers and horses of the two states came out together, and Yang Jiye led an army by himself, and the troops went out of Damao Mountain, took the flying fox, and attacked Ulzhou.

On the side of the Western Route Army, the news of the victory at Yanmen Pass had just arrived, and even if there was no news of victory over there, Yang Hao was ready to arrange for them to go on the expedition. However, the focus of his offensive has always been on the south road, the role of the west route army is false and real, true and false, if the enemy army can be defeated, then the feint attack will be changed to a real attack, will hit Youzhou, if the battle situation is not smooth, then change the real attack to a feint, as long as it can successfully contain the soldiers and horses in the western part of the Liao State.

Therefore, the western route soldiers were commanded by Cao Bin, Luo Kedi, Zhang Chongwei as generals, out of Yanmen Pass, captured Huan, Shuo, Ying, Yun Zhuzhou, Tuoba Haofeng has returned to Western Xia, and Yang Yanpu, who guarded Hengshan, joined forces, and Cao Bin's soldiers and horses formed a pincer attack.

Yang Hao gave up the stalemate with Yelu Zuoge in the border area, but threw off their heavenly army, and took advantage of the fact that the Liao army was not yet suitable for the combat characteristics of the Song army's infantry and cavalry melee corps, and rushed to Youzhou. Attacking the enemy will be saved, this is a real and genuine conspiracy.

You know my purpose, but you can't help but accept it, and you can't help but advance or retreat.

In the face of such a scene, you are full of wisdom and strategy, and there is no other way than to respond, Yelu Xiuge quickly gathered troops and horses to Zhuozhou, blocked the Song army, and quickly reported the situation to the dancing queen who guarded Youzhou.

When Xiao Xuan heard the news, he also agreed with Yelu Huge's opinion, and decided to take advantage of the length of the cavalry and the flat and vast favorable terrain to concentrate the main force to break the Song Eastern Route Army first, and then move the division to break them one by one. Then he urgently ordered Wu Xufei to step up the march, and went straight to Zhuozhou to help, and ordered Tokyo (Liaoyang) to stay in Yelu Mozhi to lead the army to aid Youzhou; He also ordered Lin Ya and Han De to move to the aid of Luokou. At the same time, he ordered Yelu Xiante to be the commander of Shanxi soldiers and horses, and was fully responsible for the war on the Western Road.

Jerexiugo's nightmare began.

Thirteen days of bloody battle in Zhuozhou, dead corpses, countless casualties, this is a real offensive and defensive battle, what strategy and strategy, all of them are useless, what is fighting is combat strength, morale, and fighting is human life.

At countless critical moments, Yelu Hugo personally climbed to the top of the city, or opened his bow left and right, and if he personally carried a spear, he roared loudly, roared, and shouted, fighting desperately like a fierce tiger, boosting morale, and resisting the fierce offensive of the Song army. Above and below the city, the white snow, the red blood, the east and the west are like flowers, and the ears are constantly whistling in the cold.

Another great battle was over, and Jerushuge was patrolling the city, his ears had been cut in half, his helmet was dirty, the cloak behind him was bloodstained and tattered, his breastplate was broken, his arm was full of sword marks, and the blood tassel on a large spear in his hand had already been sucked in blood, and it was stiff and drooping.

The 80,000 Han troops who were defeated by Wu Xuefei arrived in time, which greatly supplemented his strength, and after the southern city was destroyed, Yelu Hugo used the well water mixed with weeds, and rebuilt a bright city wall in the middle of the night.

Overnight, when Zhuozhou City became a crystal city, it really scared the Song army, especially Yang Hao, Yang Hao remembered that in his previous life, when he listened to the commentary "Yang Family General", Yang Liulang, the marshal of the three passes, faced the fierce Liao army, was anxious and wise, splashed the city with life, created an ice city, and then set up a bull formation, defeated the Liao army, and I didn't think that the Liao people also knew this method.

In fact, the northern nomads have long known how to use ice and snow to build cities, and I don't know when it was at first, but there are records of this in some historical documents from the Han Dynasty, when the northern nomads migrated to a place in the ice and snow, they would build several simple city walls with water, grass and mud to prevent wolves and block the cold wind, and wait until winter to go to chūn, continue to migrate to other places, and as soon as the weather is warm, the city walls will naturally come to naught, which is a very common thing.

I think it was the novelist who made a common sense for the northerners in order to highlight Yang Liulang's wisdom and bravery, and then turned it into a unique invention of Yang Liulang in order to enhance Yang Liulang's wisdom and bravery.

Although Zhuozhou was defended, Gu'an, which stood side by side, was defeated by the Song army, so that Zhuozhou became a lonely city, and although the city is still there, I don't know how long it can be defended. Yelu Hugo believes that the gains and losses of one city and one place should not be discussed with the powerful Song army, and at this point, whether the queen mother is a woman or a little childish.

Song came from afar to discuss, transportation is a big problem, since their target is Youzhou, they should retreat to Youzhou, in this way, the Song army's battle line is elongated, and a small group of light cavalry can be used to attack the Song army's transportation line, and Youzhou, as long as you hold on to Youzhou, you don't allow Youzhou to lose, this strategic place is not lost, the rest of the states have no threat, the Song army will eventually return in vain, and even another big rout is unknown.

After discussing with the generals, Yelu Hugh formed a recital of everyone's opinions, and sent someone to the court to ask the empress dowager to accept it, and once again persuaded the empress dowager to return to Beijing with the young emperor first. The contact between Zhuozhou and Youzhou was not broken, because the Song army adopted the siege technique of three encircles and one suspicion, cut off its three roads, and left it alone, and there were no besieging soldiers and horses in the north.

Yelu Hugo knows Yang Hao's approach, Yang Hao is looking at his main general, if he is suspicious, he will be reckless, he will be tempted, he will be old, and he will be surrounded by him. Look at its indefiniteness, take its illegality. If his army really escapes from the north, there will be ambushes along the way, but it's one thing to know, sometimes you know it's a trap, and you have to jump inside, this is the power of Yangmou, you understand, you can only crack it head-on, there is no other way to solve it.

Xiao Xuan received the recital from Yelu Xiuge, and also knew that the situation ahead was very critical, if he did not make a decision early, I am afraid that Yelu Xiuge and the army stationed in Zhuozhou would be wiped out, and if they were transferred back, at least some vital forces could be retained. After some discussion with Youzhou Wenwu, Xiao Sui agreed with Yelu Xiuge's opinion and ordered him to immediately abandon Zhuozhou and return to Youzhou.

However, she did not agree to Yelu Huge's second suggestion, at this time the upper echelons of the Liao State fell into fear and panic again, if she took the emperor back to Shangjing at this time, no matter how nice it sounded, it was just a matter of running away from the battle, at that time, the morale of the army was out of control, and it was bound to be defeated, so she must not leave this Youzhou.

Intellectually speaking, Xiao Xuan is not wrong to do this, but subconsciously, she made this choice, in fact, there is also a lot of negative energy, after all, she is still a young woman this year, as a politician, her city government has not been cultivated to the point of being as deep as the abyss, she is angry with Yang Hao.

Well, I helped you when you were cornered; When you sacrificed to the Song Dynasty and abandoned the Northern Dynasty in the north, I endured you; Now that you have won the Central Plains world, you will immediately be like Zhao Er's black fat man, invade my territory without skin and face, me and your son are here, you have no conscience to come, it's a big deal that my mother and son are dead in Youzhou City, and I will never let you take half a step again!

But the current situation in the Liao State is really not good, Zhao Guangyi's defeat is very lucky, many upper-class nobles and officials of the Liao State tasted the Northern Expedition of the Song State afterwards, and felt that if Zhao Guangyi was not dizzy, regardless of the pursuit of the Gaoliang River, whether Youzhou City is still in the hands of the Liao State now, it is really difficult to predict, so Yang Hao came, pessimism immediately began again, and if it really continued, many senior generals of the Liao army were seriously lacking in confidence.

In this case, Xiao Sui also had to consider whether it was possible to negotiate peace, after thinking about it repeatedly, and then had a discussion with the Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, Xiao Xuan on the one hand to send troops to defend Youzhou, while carefully considering, wrote a letter of state, sent an envoy to the Song Emperor Yang Hao, one emperor and one queen while fighting, while beginning to talk about reason.

"I am glad to hear that the king is the lord of Western Xia and has received Zen China, and I am very happy with it. His Majesty the Emperor has always had the ambition to protect the country and protect the people, and no one in the world is called His Majesty's sage. Liao and Western Xia, Bengu friendship, Liao and Song, also since peace. However, Zhao Kun exhausted the army and silently tore up the treaty, brazenly went on the Northern Expedition, all the soldiers and horses, raised without a name, the bell and drum of the war, and the time and year, the country therefore sent troops to be assigned for border service, from Haidai in the east, over the river in the south, and the people who occupied the nationality were all depressed, suffering from science and technology, and the world was in trouble.

Especially the people on the border of the two countries, since the beginning of the war, they have completed the city barriers, fed the slaughter of millet, and distributed hundreds of ends, and learned about the prefectures and counties. More than half of the population has been lost, the people are miserable, the imperial court is empty, and the public and private are exhausted. Your Majesty really loves the people, please rest the army and the people, in order to benefit the world, and sincerely invite China to be forever friendly and pass on forever. “

Yang Hao took Xiao Xuan's letter of state, and replied that the Northern Expedition was not invited by the ministers, one was for the Liao army to invade the border, and the other was to aim at the Youyan lands.

The ink mark didn't expect Yang Hao to say so naked, and hurriedly replied to the Queen Mother, biting the silver teeth of Xiao Xuanqi, but this man is very strong now, and he has to endure his anger and send the letter of state, and the belonging of the clouds, this time it is a long story of more than 10,000 words, and he is also a strong person.

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun sound big, but how big is it and where is it? In fact, the sixteen states of Yanyun are part of today's northern Hebei and Shanxi, to talk about the historical origin, it is too far away, Yuding Kyushu, is included in this field, but before the Yan Huang, there are also local residents here, if you have to find its table tennis from the root, I am afraid it is not understood.

Only starting from the end of the Tang Dynasty, the late Tang Dynasty was full of heroes, forming the historical pattern of the five dynasties of "Liang, Tang, Jin, Han and Zhou" and the ten kingdoms of "Former Shu, Later Shu, Wu, Southern Tang, Wu Yue, Fujian, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping and Northern Han". The sixteen states of Yanyun changed hands several times, and later fell into the hands of Li Cunxun, a native of the Later Tang Zhuang Zongshatuo.

After the Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingjiao wanted to rebel and stand on his own, so he promised it to the Liao State at the cost of this land, and was willing to be the "child emperor" of Liao. Yelu Deguang, the emperor of Liao, agreed to his conditions and led 50,000 cavalry to aid Shi Jingjiao.

If you want to talk about cession, from whom did it cede it? Before the cession, whose sovereignty belonged to? Later, scholars and historians of the Han people said that Shi Jingjiao ceded the territory that originally belonged to the Han people to the Liao State of the Khitan people, and in fact, the "Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun" was not originally in the hands of the Han people, but in the hands of the Shatuo people, and it cannot be said that the Tang Dynasty, which had died out, still had sovereignty over the place, right?

The Song State inherited the mantle of the Later Zhou Dynasty, its inherent territory was only Henan, and the Shu, Tang, Wuyue, Chu, Southern Han, Nanping, and Northern Han that it destroyed were all defeated by strong military forces, and it was not seen at that time that it regarded itself as orthodox in the Central Plains and raised the banner of "recovering lost territory".

Zhao Guangyi raised the banner of recovering the lost land of the Han family, just to be famous, this Yang Hao understands, Xiao Sui also understands, Xiao Xuan thinks that Liao has this territory and is justified, but Yang Hao naturally also has Yang Hao's thoughts.

As soon as he saw this letter of state, Yang Hao's Wenchen generals naturally refused to lose in reason, and they were gearing up one by one|Baidu Bu Bu Shenglian Tie Bar Thirteen Hands Lotus Bar Text First Releaseyn People Might|Planned to fight with Liao, of course, at the same time, the military action will not stop, Pan Mei suspected that the civilian officials who accompanied the army could not succeed, and also suggested to Yang Hao that it was best to transfer a few scholars from the DPRK to play with them, and the northerners were still far behind.

Yang Hao shook his head, and directly summoned the envoy of the Liao State, and said bluntly in front of him: "Why did the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun belong to the Liao State in the first place, and why did they not belong to the Han, Jin, Tang, and Nanping?" Because it was taken by the Liao State with its ability, and we Han people didn't have the ability to take it back, this is the case, no matter how high-sounding the other words are, they are just excuses to hide their ugliness.

Now, we've got it! So we're going to take it back.

Who does a place belong to? Whoever occupies it belongs to whom.

Who is the world? Whoever knocks it down is whoever's own.

So who are the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun? If the Northern Dynasty defeats me, then it is the Northern Dynasty's.

Why did the United Nation raise troops? Because the land of Youyan can be attacked and defended, it is the barrier of the Central Plains, and its gains and losses are directly related to the national fortune of the Central Plains. If I don't take it from being strong, isn't it a disaster for my descendants? Therefore, the United wants to fight, and there is no room for this matter to be turned around. ”

Yang Hao's words are simply Zhao Kuangyin's sentence "Lying next to the couch, how can you allow others to sleep soundly?" The best interpretation of ".

The ink marks were like dust, and he rushed back to Youzhou in a panic, Xiao Xuan didn't feel bitter when he heard it, but he had a new understanding of Yang Hao's strength and calmness. Yes, the two sides are fighting back and forth, but what is it for? If the swamp here is worthless, will the monarchs of the Central Plains still want to seize Youyan? Today, Yang Hao has broken the true meaning in one word, and he can be regarded as a bright and upright man.

Xiao Xuanliu's eyebrows were upside down, his phoenix eyes were wide open, and his silver teeth were clenched, tearing Yang Hao's national letter to shreds: "Peace talks are hopeless, so let's fight!" ”
