Since ancient times, the land of Youyan has been an economically developed agricultural area and a tax-paying place for merchants to come and go, and the Han people regard it as the "state of parents". The Liaojin and other minority regimes that entered the Central Plains will also hold on to this anointed land once they take it for themselves! Later generations commented on the five capitals of Daliao, and some people said that Shangjing had the highest status, and Zhongjing occupied the largest area... When it comes to Nanjing, the capital of the Great Liao, its most significant feature is "wealth".

Later, the Jin, Yuan, and Qing dynasties all regarded this place as their capital. The King of Hailing in the Jin Dynasty and the grandson of Aguta, Wan Yan Liang, even moved the royal ancestral tomb in Heilongjiang to here, and the strength was earth-shattering, but now that Zhao Ta has come to Yanjing City, Kublai Khan and Huang Taiji are beyond the reach of the whip, and it is estimated that the chance of Wan Yan Liang is not big.

After receiving the information sent by Yu Wenxuzhong, Zhao Ta urgently ordered Zhao Yan to abandon his battle plan to lure the enemy into depth, open up the passage of Wushu to return to the army, and intercept the rear team that invaded the Datong Jin army. At the same time, he told the Military Intelligence Department not to intercept and kill the messengers sent by Yanjing, so that they could smoothly send the news of Yanjing's siege out of Lu, and ordered Zhao Yong and Zhao Lian to rest and advance to the periphery of Yanjing City to prepare for the siege. Inform the right-wing Zhang Suobu to continue to open up the communication line with Pingzhou to the east; Yue Fei's troops spread out to the northwest, controlling the key points along the Sanggan River and protecting the left flank of the siege troops.

After Zhao Ta issued the order, he also left Pingzhou and marched towards Yanjing, which had been nearly a month since they landed in Yingzhou and entered November, but the situation had changed greatly. As much force as it exerted, it would explode as much reaction force, and the people of the Central Plains who were taken captive by the Jurchens to the Youyan region were uprooted from their homeland and became slaves, and suffered from oppression and exploitation for many years. Now the emperor has come with a large army to support them. From a slave to a master, this is really revenge and resentment.

The revenge operation broke out from Pingzhou, and it spread rapidly in the footsteps of the Song army's attack. The Jurchens, Bohai people, Xi people, and even the Youyan Han people of the same ancestor who rode on their heads in the past have become the targets of their revenge. Killing became the best and most convenient means, and tens of thousands of people were killed in just over a month, causing as many casualties as a skirmish. Everyone was afraid of death, and the so-called 'superior people' who used to show off their might were also frightened by the bloody killings, slaughtered clean, and the rear was also settled.

After the development of the matter to the extreme, it was already a little out of control, and Zhao Ta had to issue a holy decree to stop it, and at the same time met with the people to appease them, affirming their righteous deeds. He also selected some people who had been officials, or who had meritorious and prestigious reputations, to be entrusted with official positions to assist the army in governing the locality, managing the people, and forming volunteers to protect the locality. Then open a warehouse to release grain and distribute the land. In this way, it not only calms the people's hearts, but also allows these people to take root in Yanjing and change the local ethnic structure. In order to ensure long-term peace and stability. After a series of measures, the newly occupied territories were quickly stabilized, and they also won the hearts and minds of the people, who spontaneously transported supplies to the army and provided them with needs. Gather intelligence when the guide leads the way.

Zhao Ta traveled day and night, and arrived at Yanfangdian in the southwest of Yanjing City three days later. Since Yanjing City is one of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty in the past, in addition to the palace, there must be royal gardens and palaces. What's more, the Khitan people are nomadic people. The Liao Emperor's way of ruling his land was to make bowls in spring, summer, autumn and winter, and he was certainly not satisfied with the deep palace towers in Nanjing. It is required to have a garden and a palace for summer retreat and hunting. Yanfangdian has a vast water surface and is overgrown with reeds. Hundreds of miles away, it is not only the hunting place of the Liao Emperor, but also has a palace.

At this time, Zong Ze had already arrived two days first, and there was a group of officials and staff who came with him, and the front-line headquarters was set up here. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, at the beginning of the war, Zhao Zhong led two brigades of guards to set off, escorting Zong Ze all the way here, but this place was too close to Yanjing City, and if the Jin army found that it only needed to send a strange soldier to arrive, it would only take an hour to arrive, so the guard posts were released twenty miles away, blocking all the roads around the palace.

Everyone welcomed the emperor into the Shenqian Palace, because the Jurchens and Khitans who were also nomads had the same hobby, Zongfu and Wushu often came here to hunt in the summer and autumn, and the palace was well maintained. Knowing the arrival of the Song army, the Jin soldiers guarding the palace ran away in a swarm, did not take anything away, and left the Song army intact.

Zhao Ta was not polite, now is not the time to be a prince, and he has to consider Yue Zhi only said that he wants to live where he wants to live now! In addition, he also unceremoniously incorporated the escort team set up by Zhao Lian into the Guards Army and became the Fourth Brigade, but I don't know if the kind-hearted commanders of Lu Dao will feel distressed, these generals are the elites of their departments...

Zong Ze and the others met the emperor again, but Zhao Ta was not in that mood at the moment, but gathered the generals to discuss the siege plan as if he was burning his buttocks. Now the enemy situation has changed, the original plan is Zhao Yong's department responsible for the peripheral annihilation of the Wushu Pingzhou reinforcements, with Zhao Lian's troops to attack Yanjing City, can calmly annihilate the enemy, but due to the unexpected departure of the Wushu, so that the plan is in vain, and now both departments have failed to complete the task.

After Zhao Lian's troops landed, they only fought a small-scale offensive and defensive battle in Pingzhou, and the rest of the things were marching, almost wherever they went, the Jin army fled in despair, and there was no big war, and they successfully occupied several states, but they also failed to complete the task of annihilating the main force of the Jin army. Zhao Yong's troops failed to engage Wushu, but they beat Wanyan Zongfu and annihilated part of his troops, but the main force of the Jin army still existed.

Zhao Ta knew that if he couldn't deal a heavy blow to the Wushu Department, then even if he recovered the Youyan region, he would not be at peace, and he still needed to prepare for war every year, work on expeditions, and get involved in endless offensive and defensive battles. Now that the fighter plane has appeared again, of course he will not let it go, but there is not much time left for him. Wushu has learned that Pingzhou has been lost, Yanjing was besieged news, is the starry night to help, at most only ten days to come to Yanjing City, now four days have passed, so must be in a limited time, quickly capture Yanjing City, and complete the rest and then turn around to meet the Wushu reinforcement army.

"Don't talk nonsense, the enemy situation has changed, our plan must also change, Yanjing City must be captured within three days, if there is any disagreement, mention it as soon as possible!" Zhao Ta's opening remarks were simple and clear, and he said in a tone that could not be questioned.

"Your Majesty, Yanjing City has a lot of strong soldiers, if you want to capture the city in three days, is it too hasty!" Zong Ze knew that the current new army is not the same as the forbidden army in the past, but the fortification of Yanjing City's city defense is not much worse than that of Bianjing City, the Jin army came to the city twice that day, and attacked the city with more than a dozen tiger and wolf soldiers, and failed to make any achievements in more than a month, and now there are tens of thousands of Jin army main forces in Yanjing City, so he is a little vague about Kecheng in such a short time.

"What Master Zong said is reasonable, but the enemy situation is urgent, and I am ready to attack the city with two full forces, only in this way can I concentrate my forces to eliminate the reinforcements of the Wushu Division!" Zhao Ta said, in fact, Zhao Yong, Zhao Lian and others had already understood what he said just now, the emperor had already issued a death order, and he must conquer Yanjing City within three days, but Zong Ze really thought that he was asking for advice, and he had to explain two sentences to the old minister!

"Your Majesty, wouldn't this be more dangerous, once the siege fails, you will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taizong back then!" Zong Ze was shocked when he heard this.

Zhao Tan frowned, obviously Zong Ze still had doubts, but what he said was not unreasonable. Just two hundred years ago, it was also in the same place that a big battle occurred in Song Liao, the Song army attacked the city for nine days in a row, the Liao army gave full play to the advantage of cavalry, reinforcements from afar, changed the passive to the active, and dealt a heavy blow to the Song army, and the Song army advanced lightly and lost the first battle.

But the significance of this war is not only that, this is an important war after the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period, and it is also the first direct dialogue between the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty on the battlefield, this war ended the pace of the unification of the Song Dynasty, and had an adverse impact on the future war with Liao, and the Liao began to be at a disadvantage militarily as a whole.

"Master Zong, although the situation is similar to that back then, it is different, even if we can't conquer Yanjing City, we can retreat calmly and look for opportunities to fight again!" Zhao Ta had to patiently explain...

From the perspective of operational guidance in the battle of that year, the Song army moved to Youzhou, only an attack in one direction, neither from the north of Youzhou to cooperate, contain the Liao army, but also did not control a certain reserve force, at the beginning of the main forces into the battle, in an attempt to quickly solve the battle, in one fell swoop, so that in the event of a setback, it was powerless to save; The second is that the defense power of Youzhou City is underestimated. Youzhou is a strategic place for Liao, and Liao must defend the city with heavy troops. The Song army advanced rapidly from a long distance and was unprepared for attacking the fortifications, so that the troops fortified the city and fell into the predicament of fatigue of the division's veterans; The last is the lack of reinforcement deployment, Youzhou is a strategic place in Liao, and when it is besieged, it must be reinforced with heavy troops. However, Zhao Guangyi did not plan and did not make any arrangements to block and reinforce, but only focused on attacking the city with all his strength, resulting in an attack on the Liao reinforcements, resulting in the rout of the whole army.

Looking at the Liao army, although it suffered some setbacks in the early stage of the Song army's surprise attack, it was able to take some effective measures and wait for reinforcements, which won time for mobilizing reinforcements. After the reinforcements arrived, they successfully used the tactics of encirclement on both flanks, gave full play to the strengths of the cavalry, and took advantage of Yerusha to drag the Song army and weaken the Song army to a certain extent, and suddenly entered the battle, and finally turned the tide of the battle, and achieved the victory of relieving Youzhou and defeating the Song army.

Although the current situation is the same, but now the Song army has captured Pingzhou and Yuguan, and has controlled the northern part of Youyan, so that the Jin army cannot quickly go south to rescue. Again, the sect and auxiliary troops were newly defeated, and morale was low, even if the recruits lacked training and discipline; Moreover, although Zhao Yan's troops could not be severely damaged with the Wushu Department, they would definitely contain some of his troops, making it impossible for him to clean up and rescue. And even if the whole army of the Wushu Department came to Yanjing City smoothly, Zhao Ta still had a trick that was useless... (To be continued......)
