In September, the army of the Song Dynasty on the 5th Route entered the territory of the party. In the beginning, all the actions of the men and horses strictly followed the strategic formation of the emperor's ration when he left. But the problem suddenly appeared with the main general Li Jilong.

He noticed a problem - the route was wrong. According to the road map instructed by the emperor, he had to pass through Lingzhou first, and then he could kill Benwu and Baichi. In that case, it will take more than 1 month to walk, and there is a lack of water on the road, which is the most deadly, and if he doesn't make his huge army, he will be in chaos without a fight.

At this time, his pioneer officer Lu Bin gave him an idea: We will not pass through Lingzhou, but start from the starting point Huanzhou, take a straight line, and suddenly appear in Wu and Baichi within 10 days!

Li Jilong was overjoyed. If you want to go to Lingzhou, it is nothing more than to break the siege of Lingzhou by the way. can suddenly attack Wu and Baichi, and it is a plan to encircle Wei and save Zhao. The siege of Lingzhou can be solved without a fight. He sent his younger brother Li Jihe to rush back to the open cover to see the emperor and report the diversion. Zhao Guangyi was anxious when he heard it. He doesn't understand why there are always people who don't listen to him, and now even his brother-in-law is like this! He only said one sentence to Li Jihe, "Brother you are like this, you will lose my business", and immediately wrote a letter to Li Jilong, ordering him to obey the order and act according to the original plan. and sent Zhou Ying to be the prison army, and forced Li Jilong to obey if necessary. But it was too late, when the Zhou Jian army arrived, General Li had already set out on the expedition, and it was a fact that he bypassed Lingzhou and took a shortcut... Aspirations are good, and knowledge is high. If successful, then General Li's prestige will surely spread far to the Western Regions, and the power will be at that time.

But he was very depressed, he walked for more than 10 days, and the result was..."I don't see the enemy, and I still lead the army" What's going on? The enemy was in Wu and Baichi, and what happened later also proved that the Song army's early intelligence was 100% accurate. Then how could he "not see the enemy" for a simple reason: he was lost. In the desert Gobi, I wanted to take a shortcut for cheapness, but it backfired... What's even worse is that he not only went home after a lap by himself, but also joined forces with Ding Han at that time and played like this together.

The main forces of the 2nd Route Army and the Song Army returned in vain. But this is also stronger than Zhang Shouen on the other side...

Zhang Shouen, the son of Zhang Lingduo, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty. Starting from Linzhou, we will move forward strictly according to the road map. As a result, he ran into an enemy. But this bastard is so shameless that he suddenly chooses to go blind, I don't see anything, let's go home... In this way, he came back with his men and horses safe and sound, all bearded and tailed...

Only Wang Chao and Fan Tingzhao are left 2 ways. They joined forces in one place, and the route they took was the most arduous and longest-the Wuding River.

The Song army dug wells all the way and marched all the way, struggling from the Gobi Desert to the Iron Gate Pass. It was here that the first battle of the Song army's expedition finally began.

Wang Chao's 17-year-old son Wang Deyong used his father as a vanguard, led 10,000 people to defeat the party members at Tiemen Pass, and then killed the first targets - Wu and Baichi. He found out how accurate the initial information was. He is really facing Li Jiqian, the king of the party!

Thousands of miles to run. finally found Li Jiqian, but at the same time, he also had to face the elite of the whole party. At this time, the reaction of coach Fan Tingzhao and Wang Chao was "dare not enter", which is understandable. The Song army was surrounded by 5 roads, and only they arrived. So when the commander's son Wang Deyong asked for battle, he received only 5,000 elite soldiers! With only 5,000 people, Wang Deyong fought with Li Jiqian for 3 days, and won successive battles. After the most defeat, the whole Song army was pressed, and Li Jiqian was finally defeated and led the remnants to escape from the lair.

It was a pyrrhic victory. More than 50 people were killed in battle, and more than 2,000 were captured. But it's the limit. And being in the guest realm, I really can't pursue it anymore.

Retire! The Song army had almost just defeated Li Jiqian and began to retreat from Wu and Baichi. And the ghostly party cavalry haunts and goes, as long as the Song army shows a slight sign of disarray. They will kill again at any time, and the difference between life and death is not yet decided!

Wang Deyong asked his father and Fan Tingzhao to go first, and he led the army to the rear of the palace. Strictly order those who dare to do nonsense! The whole army of the Song army was purged, and the ranks were strictly organized. Fifty miles away from Xiazhou, the party members really appeared, and they followed behind them. But he never dared to challenge, and watched Song Jun go farther and farther...

The 5th Route Army's attack on the party ended in this way, and Li Jiqian still hadn't been caught. Zhao Guangyi made up his mind to sweep it away, and never give Li Jiqian a chance to resurrect again! Can...

In the first month of the 3rd year of Dao (997), Zhao Guangyi ordered Fu to sneak out of Yanzhou and Wang Zhaoyuan to go out of Lingzhou, and continue to attack Li Jiqian, be sure to cut the grass and eradicate the roots! At the beginning of February, Wang Zhaoyuan reported in the camp in Lingzhou and defeated Li Jiqian again, but Li Jiqian still escaped...

On February 6, Zhao Guangyi was 59 years old. The arrow wound that had haunted him for nearly 18 years finally became uncontrollable. His condition deteriorated, and for the first time in his life, he decided in the temple.

He ordered an armistice on the Lingzhou front. The reason for this is nothing more than 2 reasons: 1. Soldiers are ominous. The Emperor wanted to invite the heavens with a truce, and begged for blessing and prolonged his life; 2 With his character, this time he will still give the formation map, plan the plan, and control the battle situation remotely throughout the whole process. At this time, he could no longer support it, so he had to give up.

After more than one month, there was no record of the history of the Song Dynasty. Obviously, the most important thing in the empire was the health of the emperor. But the power of the country cannot delay the passage of a person's life.

On March 15, the Great Khitan Feng Li moved to the king of Xiping. On the 20th, the Liao Taifei won a great victory in the west, and the Hexi Party was attached to the Great Khitan. As a result, the western frontier of the Great Khitan was greatly expanded...

On March 28, Zhao Guangyi finally fell ill and was completely unable to take care of state affairs. On the 29th, the last moment finally came! The emperor died in the Hall of Long Live the Emperor! Is this the reincarnation of fate? On that snowy night more than 20 years ago, he hurriedly walked into this mysterious world to face his brother's corpse, and now he is actually going to leave from here...

The Song people had a high opinion of their own emperor. Because this emperor opened the door to their official careers (the trouble of redundant officials began in the Taizong Dynasty), the Song people did not hesitate to praise this emperor, saying that he not only completed the great cause of unifying the world, but also assisted Emperor Taizu in laying the foundation of the Great Song Dynasty before. is completely a super emperor who carries forward the past and forges ahead into the future.

When the Yuan people evaluated him in the "Song Taizong Benji", they had no scruples, "the collapse of Taizu did not change the Yuan after the year" means that he is disrespectful to his brother, "Fuling County Gong is degraded to death, the martial arts king is killed, and the Song Dynasty is not mourned" means that he is unkind to his younger brother, nephew, and sister-in-law. The last sentence "The future generations can't be undiscussed" said that there will be some discussions behind him.

But in fact, these are all private virtues, and they have nothing to do with the success or failure of military affairs. In contrast, Li Shimin personally killed his brother and brother, forced his father to abdicate, and demoted his crown prince, no matter what point, he did more ruthlessly than Zhao Guangyi. But it did not affect the reputation of the first emperor through the ages.

Because in any case, the country that Zhao Guangyi inherited from his brother is a good situation of prosperity, reunification, and social stability. And by the time he died, it was a mess that was thrown to the next generation. The Khitans have gained the upper hand, the party members are no longer courtiers, and even the Sichuan uprising broke out in the country. All of this was caused by his own hands! So I only have 3 words to evaluate this emperor - big slut!

Analyze the elements of Zhao Guangyi's ability: where is he strong? Where is the weakness?

Zhao Guangyi became Kaifeng Yin in his early 20s, and has been presiding over important work in the national administrative department since then. He has rich experience in officialdom and treats people appropriately. Even in a game of chess in the country, he knows how to play better than anyone else, and he is the first capable official of the Taizu Dynasty. This is all his capital that far exceeds that of the other male members of the Zhao family. Even history proves that in some aspects, Zhao Kuangyin is not as good as him. But it's a pity that he is lame: the military and the government are not separated, but he only has one hand.

Zhao Guangyi's only fatal flaw is in the army. Because he has no qualifications, let alone military merits. And the army is a wonderful world. There, no matter how amiable or generous you are, even if you were born with an emperor's face, it is useless! If you want to be king in the army, you must have real ability, "money presses slaves and maids, and art covers as pedestrians" is a mule or a horse, and you must be able to pull out the lu to walk! It's just that Zhao Guangyi is a person who fights wits but not strength.

It is fair to say that Zhao Guangyi's way of government is the first to recommend the word "diligence". Among all the emperors of the past dynasties, he may be the only one who can go to court every day to see things. This attendance rate was maintained until December 995. It was only then that he followed the example of Emperor Xuan of the Han Dynasty on the 5th, Tang Taizong on the 3rd, and Tang Gaozong on the other day, and became a 3-day view. But so what?

In a word, it was his pursuit that hurt him, and even more so his country. He was wholeheartedly doing what he couldn't do, and every time his luck was terrible. He was supposed to be a politician, he shouldn't have been an emperor, but he had such lofty ideals. Thereupon... Helpless... (To be continued......)
