Fu Qian is as steady as Mount Tai, but seeing the atrocities of the Khitans, some people can't sit still.

In Song Jiu's memory, or for some needs, some of the behaviors of the Liao State were downplayed, and even deliberately beautified, in fact, every time the Liao State invaded the south, the various practices were no less than those of the later Wa people. As long as they invaded the Central Plains, due to the grass valley system, the Liao soldiers turned into hungry wolves and swallowed everything.

Fan Yanzhao led his men, less than 10,000 people, to rush to Yingzhou despite the long journey of hundreds of miles. Of course, this point is definitely insufficient, and it is out of the base camp. So he sent a request to Kang Bao, the general of Gaoyang Guan.

Kang Bao immediately agreed.

The two armies made an appointment and met under the city of Yingzhou.

However, it was not fighting nearby, it was so far away, and it was mainly infantry, so it quickly made the Liao army aware of it.

Xiao Yanyan first sent a large army to block Fan Yanzhao's army, and sent a heavy army to Feicun in the southwest of Yingzhou.

The next day, the Kang Bao tribe prepared to set out and bring the army to the meeting point, but the vast Liao army besieged them on all sides.

It was an incomparably tragic battle, no less than the battle of Yang Ye in the Wolf Tooth Valley in history.

In the face of dozens of times the Liao army, Kang Baoyi took the lead and led his men to kill the enemy. Thousands of Song troops rushed out of the first layer of encirclement with the determination of death, but were entangled by the Liao army in the second layer of encirclement.

After a day of fierce fighting, they could not break through, and the Kangbao had to retreat to the camp.

The battle continued the next day, but no matter how desperately Kang Bao killed one person, two more people came up, and after killing two people, four people came up.

"Where's the reinforcements?"

There were no reinforcements. Fan Yanzhao was blocked by the Liao army and was not allowed to advance. Gaoyang Pass's deputy marshal Zhang Ning and Li Chonggui heard that the main general was trapped. led troops to rescue, but Fu Qian held down the 80,000 Hebei Song troops to the death. They had too few troops in their hands, and they did not succeed in saving them, but they were trapped by the Liao army, fortunately these two people were very fierce, and the besieged troops were not much, and they were killed for most of the day, and they could only break out of the encirclement.

Also, when Zhao Heng heard that Kang Bao was in danger, he immediately sent Wang Rong to lead 5,000 cavalry to the rescue. However, the road was too far, Wang Rong and his men almost ran their horses to death, and by the time they arrived at the battlefield, the Liao army had already withdrawn, and the Kang Bao descendants were all wiped out.

The next day, Kang Bao and Song Shun were all wiped out, and no one surrendered.

Zhao Heng was furious and immediately issued an edict, asking Shi Baoji and Shangguan Zheng to lead the army north quickly, and then ordered Fu Qian to attack immediately. Taking advantage of the fact that the Liao army was a little tired in Feicun, the two armies flanked and defeated the Liao army.

There is nothing wrong with this strategy, even if it doesn't meet Zhao Heng's wishes. Then the Liao army will also be dragged down, then the Chinese army will rush up behind, and tens of thousands of troops in Hebei will be encircled. Xiao Yanyan will shed her skin even if she doesn't die.

However, at this time, Fu Qian continued to sit firmly on Mount Tai, even if Zhao Heng's edict was issued. He still didn't send troops.

He didn't send troops, and Xiao Yanyan accepted it when he saw it. There were no soldiers in the north, so Xiao Yanyan was relieved and bold to take the property and livestock of hundreds of people who had been taken captive, and slowly withdrew the army.

Zhao Heng almost went crazy, so he sent Wang Jiying to Dingzhou to pass the order and let Fu Qian come to the camp to see the driver. Fu Qian came and said N reasons, but Zhao Heng was not a child, and finally understood, any reason is a floating cloud, and it is true that he is greedy for life and afraid of death.

In a fit of rage, he was exiled and his home was raided.

In fact, many people are still indignant about this punishment, why don't you kill him!

How many people in Hebei have been killed or taken captive because of this person's cowardice, and how many towns that have gradually prospered have been burned to the ground.

On the other side, Fan Yanzhao learned from the pain and began to save himself.

He didn't have much in his hands, so he had to fight smartly. When the main force of the Liao army withdrew, and there were only tens of thousands of rear troops, he quickly rushed to Mozhou, tooth for tooth, blood for blood, this battle Liao army strength is still several times his, but this battle allowed him to kill more than 10,000 enemies and recapture thousands of captured Hebei people.

The casualty rate, the Liao army's southern invasion, the number of casualties was greater than that of the Song army.

But what about the people in Hebei.

Hearing that Fan Yanzhao won a great victory, Zhao Heng wrote a poem of joy and joy, and inspected the school master, Li Chonggui sighed: "The general is in trouble and my generation is calculating, what is the face." ”

As if hearing his words, Song Jiu took the second letter in Suzhou.

You must know that he has only written two memoranda for more than six years, and this is the first memo after Zhao Heng ascended the throne.

Tens of thousands of people in Hebei died, thousands of miles of barrenness, mountains of corpses and bones, and blood flowed into the sea.

Since Taizong, he has been harsh on military generals, but in his later years, Taizong has been waiting for military generals to become thicker. Fu Qian is afraid of the war like this, Qian Ruoshui and other ministers should die, how can His Majesty pardon him? If so, the generals will not want to fight, what will the country be!

However, Zhao Heng did not adopt it, he had his concerns.

After two generations of governance, the world has gradually returned to its heart, but it cannot be said that it is easy to sit back and relax, such as the occasional rebellion in Bashu, don't forget, what was Chenguang a few decades ago, and the five dynasties and ten kingdoms changed from time to time.

He also lacked self-confidence and did not dare to say with certainty that he was in control of the country.

So he deliberately publicized the victory, and Fu Qian was appointed by him as the main general.

But he took the letter and went to the back of the palace of the Daimyo's Mansion.

Liu E finally entered the palace, but her identity still cannot be revealed.

Zhao Heng handed her the fold and asked, "Do I want to use this person?" ”

He can take the position, Lu Duan is the first credit, followed by Kou Zhun and Song Jiu. However, Kou Zhun objected for the sake of opposition, and this Zhao Heng was very worried.

At least it can't be used now, so most of the important ministers used in the early stage are loyal elders, such as several of his gentlemen, Xia Houqiao, Li Zhi, and Yang Li...... Others are also known for their loyalty, such as Lu Duan and Li Xin.

After these people are appointed, there will not be much turmoil, and even if they are reformed, under their correction, they will not be too rash and make unforgivable mistakes, which is conducive to the transfer and transition of power.

But Song Jiu is not a radical.

And Liu E also respects Song Jiu very much, and a third of the way into the capital is to support her and Gong Mei by singing Song Jiu to initiate several victories. Later, she entered Zhang Qi's mansion, but in fact, her status was nothing at that time.

That's it, Song Jiu still gave enough respect and offered those few tips.

In terms of relationship, if that beautiful little Pan does not die, Song Jiu and her husband will still have a brother-in-law relationship.

From the perspective of personal personality, it is also more reassuring that this person does not have a strong sense of rights.

But it has not been useful, there is a reason, her husband has just ascended the throne, and before her reputation is established, she must support her own people, Song Jiu is not, it is an old minister of the Three Dynasties. Or give him an official title, do people care? If it weren't for the country, he would have been the prime minister of Dongfu a long time ago.

But what will happen when Song Jiu comes back?

People want political achievements, military merits, and military merits, and both military and political sides have a high reputation, so no matter what they do, it is Song Jiu's credit, not her husband's credit, which will make people feel uneasy.

The prestige is too high, but it will make Song Jiu stay in Suzhou for a while.

Therefore, Song Jiu's two sons were promoted, and even Song Jiu's grandsons were added to the ranks, including the son-in-law, who was also promoted to heaven and earth, and Song Jiu's own officials were added to the Taishi, not the so-called inspection Taishi.

Then put Song Jiu on hold first, and transfer Song Jiu back at the right time. Everyone can also understand, and it can also be seen that the new emperor's dynamic still has to use Song Jiu, but not in the current period.

If there is no invasion of Liao, my husband and the prime ministers will do well, and there seems to be no need to bring Song Jiu back.

However, Liu E considered things by no means like the so-called Gao Taotao, as soon as she heard that her mother's family was suffering, she immediately opposed the reform, and even when her son died, she was not sad but happy.

She thought for a while and said: "It's not proper, Hebei has been hit hard, there are joys and sorrows, and the Liaokou has not been completely defeated......

Zhao Heng understood that once Song Jiu was transferred back, he still returned to the original point when he ascended the throne, which made Song Jiu have greater prestige.

Liu E said again: "Your Majesty, let's be more stable, besides, the Liao State has withdrawn its troops and gone back." ”

That's how Li'er is.

If it was true that Liu E and Zhao Heng's infinite trust in Song Jiu made Song Jiu climb to the position of Zhang Juzheng and Huo Guang, Song Jiu would be scared instead. And he didn't want to carry such a heavy burden.

Moreover, in this battle, the second famous general of the Liao State, almost caused the death of Yelu Xianzhen in Goryeo, and died of illness in the army, without Yelu Xian, even if the Song Dynasty hid Li Jilong, the god of war, the problem is not very important.

But then things happened again.

When Song Jiu miraculously broke out of Qigou Pass, there were many brave generals who could fight well, although Shi Jue and Yang Ye and Guo Shouwen died successively, Fan Yanzhao, Yang Yanzhao, Tian Shaobin, Liu Zhixin, Li Jixuan, Hu Yanzan are still there, and they have all become the pillars of the army.

In addition to them, there is another person, Fu Zhaoshou.

If you refer to Fan Ting to summon them, Fu Zhaoshou should be good. Although the family made a lot of money in business, under the drive of Song Jiu, he also took out a lot of money and donated it to the people, "kind and benevolent".

Judging from his father's ancestors, the Fu family will be among the countries back then.

But this is an illusion.

In the breakthrough battle, Fu Zhaoshou played a role, but he gathered his subordinates and handed over his subordinates to Song Jiu to command, and later when he really broke through, he had already left Qigou Pass and went to find rescue.

In the usual good deeds, there are many money silks that are not his, but Song Jiu's, for fear that Zhao Kuangyi will be jealous, and he will use the name of Fu Zhaoshou to distribute it. Of course, Zhao Kuangyi also knew that although he was dissatisfied with Song Jiu on the surface, you saw me as a person, but in fact, he still liked Song Jiu to do things very much. Fu Zhaoshou took out some money, but compared to the wealth brought by following Song Jiu's stroke, these money and silks were only a drop in the bucket.

Fu Zhaoshou went to Sichuan to become the coach, and suddenly became obsessed with Shu brocade, and found countless skilled workers to change patterns and spins for him, and even carried forward the glorious tradition of Wang Quanbin and Wang Jien, and did not give a penny for purchasing materials, and even the servants with him began to be ashamed and abused the officers and soldiers.

With Zhang Yong here, Fu Zhaoshou is a little better. However, Zhang Yong also stayed in Sichuan for many years, and the imperial court edict transferred him to the beautiful Hangzhou to replace the seriously ill Song Jiu's family Zhang to go to China.

Then in exchange for an official, Niu Mian, but Zhang Yong said when he left: "The crown is not a talent to care for the public." ”

On New Year's Day, Zhao Heng still stayed in the Daimyo's Mansion to appease the remnants, and Chengdu mutinied. (To be continued......)
