When the case arrived in Kaifeng Mansion, Kou Zhun was overjoyed! Sue Zhang Qixian? Can't ask for it! Because there is a saying that Kou Zhun has been drinking and listening to songs in Dengzhou all these years, to a large extent, he was suppressed by Zhang Qixian. The two have been incompatible for a long time.

I didn't expect to be so angry as soon as I took office. But with the authority of Kaifeng Mansion Yin, there is no way to interrogate the former prime minister Zhang Qixian, even if he is the same as Kou Zhun and the former deputy prime minister of the governor's affairs, it is useless. Only the Emperor and the Imperial Observatory are eligible. So Kou Zhun immediately escalated the case and handed it over to the emperor! Zhao Heng could only accept it, and the case was transferred to Yushitai. But no one thought that the Chai family was so strong!

In order to point out the matter of inheritance division and second marriage and remarriage, she actually walked to the gate of the palace and beat the Dengwen drum. Sue the 2 sons of the Xue family! Let's say here that the Dengwen drum was sacrosanct at the end of the feudal dynasty, that is, in the late Qing Dynasty. But what kind of strange cases in the world do such adjectives have to be matched with to be on the score? So in the late Qing Dynasty, this thing was basically an ornament... But it wasn't like this before, in the Zhao Guangyi period, there were people who beat the drum to shake out the big slut because they lost a pig... So Chai's move is not excessive. But a thousand years ago, a noble lady knocked the earth because she was in a hurry to remarry, this is also outrageous, right?

So the emperor had to sit in the palace and listen to the case. Chai said that her son was a good son, and he was completely taught bad by one person, he was the current prime minister Xiang Minzhong! The specific plot is that Xiang Minzhong fell in love with the Xue family's old mansion and bought it at a low price by various means, and then even made up her mind to marry her. And of course she was so chaste that she didn't want to. So Xiang Minzhong instigated her sons to oppose her. This is completely despicable and shameless to Xiang Minzhong, who wants to gain both wealth and sex, and deliberately retaliates if he does not succeed!

Zhao Heng looked this Chai girl up and down, wondering why she was so prime minister? This is already the third prime minister to have a relationship with her... After that, he turned his head and asked Xiang Minzhong what was going on?

Xiang Minzhong admitted that he had indeed bought the Xue family's old mansion with 5 million yuan, but he had never seen the Chai family at all, so how could he talk about this issue of men and women? And I just died of my wife, and I am mourning my deceased wife with all my might. How can you be in the mood to think about women?

Zhao Heng thought about it and didn't pursue it again. But the worst thing is that the drums are beating again. It's still Chai's, she will never give up until she achieves her goal, and she will definitely pull Xiang Minzhong into the water and drown together!

The emperor was on fire. National events, Khitan party items, how annoying I am! A dead woman is pestering me like that! He ordered Chai to be thrown into prison, Yu Shitai, you give me a good interrogation, which nerve is this woman confused! In the prison of Yushitai, Chai recruited all the people. There is indeed someone behind her - Zhang Zongxue, the son of Zhang Qixian. The purpose is to divert the gaze and use Xiang Minzhong to top the cylinder, who let Xiang buy the Xue family's house? Meanwhile. A criminal record was also found. The old mansion of the Xue family was personally instructed by His Majesty Taizong not to be bought and sold. It is the children and grandchildren of the Xue family who know that they will not succeed, and they are afraid that they will lose their ancestral business. So Xiang Minzhong was unlucky and was impeached by Yushitai...

The matter is far from over, the wall fell and everyone pushed it, and the enemies of Xiang Minzhong jumped out one after another. A person named Wang Hei directly pointed to Xiang Minzhong's death hole: "The prime minister has committed the crime of bullying the king." When he died, his wife was thinking about a woman immediately, and he had fallen in love with Wang Chengyan's daughter, so he had to give a dowry" Zhao Heng immediately sent someone to investigate, and the daughter of the Wang family admitted it herself... The emperor was so disappointed in his prime minister...

On the 25th, Xiang Minzhong resigned. Zhang Qixian was demoted to be Taichangqing. Don't stay in Kaifeng, go to Luoyang... What about Chai's? All the belongings were confiscated into the official, and since then she has no money and a light body, and her shrewd reputation has spread all over the land of China with the passionate drumming of Dengwen. I guess even the Khitans are not interested in him anymore... The sons of the Xue family can only guard the old house that cannot be sold, holding the golden rice bowl and starving to death...

This is a bloody case caused by a woman who wants to marry. After this case, there were only 2 prime ministers left in the Great Song Dynasty: the holy minister Li Xin and the prime minister Lu Mengzheng. But soon they died one after another. Everything was like a divine arrangement. Not really. How do you make room for Lord Kou to be the prime minister?

In February of the 6th year of Xianping (1003), Pan Luozhi, the chief of the Liugu Tribe, came to pay tribute and offered to sweep away Li Jiqian for the imperial court. 20th. Zhao Heng named Pan Luozhi as the envoy of Shuofang Jiedu and the inspection envoy of the west of Lingzhou.

On April 17, the Liao army was led by Yelu Nugua, the prime minister of Nanfu, and Xiao Darin, a famous general, and went south to attack the Song Dynasty! I don't know if the Liao army knew the deployment of the Song army's troops in advance, and the goal was to point directly at the base of the Song army's forward battalion - Dingzhou! This completely reflects the style of Xiao Dalin, the new coach of the Liao Army, - do not drag the mud and water, and directly seek a decisive battle!

Wang Chao, the front-line commander of the Song Army, got the battle report. Let's talk about the authority of the front-line manager. Directly bordering the Liao State was the Hebei Road of the Great Song Dynasty, which was divided into 4 theaters: Gaoyangguan Road, Damingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, and Zhendingfu Road (or Zhenzhou Road). And the actual position of this front-line commander is to deploy the battalions of Zhen, Ding, and Gaoyang Guanxing. That is to say, he mastered the 3 theaters of war on Hebei Road. At this time, Wang Chao sat in Dingzhou, waited for the enemy to arrive, and stabilized the entire battlefield situation. Then he ordered the soldiers and horses of the other 2 places in the defense area - Zhenzhou and Gaoyang Pass to quickly move closer to him and gather troops to confront the Liao army! Zhenzhou Sangzan immediately acted and quickly rushed to Wang Chao's side. But Zhou Ying, the guard of Gaoyang, only gave Wang Chao a piece of paper - Wang Chao, you ordered me not to move. Without the emperor's edict, don't even think about mobilizing a single soldier in Gaoyangguan!

Wang Chao was furious, but there was nothing he could do. 1 Gaoyangguan's military strength is not trivial, and it has always enjoyed privileges. At that time, Kang Bao's descendants could be independent of Fu Qian's military orders, and they could decide when they would attack 2 Zhou Ying and General Zhou's origin was huge, and Wang Chao was not an opponent at all. Only the previous coach and privy envoy Wang Xian has the right to transfer him, Wang Chao, how old are you?

At present, the enemy is suddenly less than 1/3 of the main combat power. Wang Chao had no choice but to join forces with Sangzan and fight the enemy in Wangdu County, north of Dingzhou!

Wang Chao first sent 1,500 infantry to form a formation outside Wangdu County to block the enemy and slow down the Khitan cavalry. Then Wang Chao's team arrived. Wang Chao himself faced the enemy Xiao Dalin and his deputy Wang Jizhong to fight against Yelu Nugua. The fierce battle begins in the evening!

The battle was extremely fierce, and the Song army fought bravely to repel the Liao army after nightfall. But the coach Wang Chao knew that he had too few troops, so he ordered him to retreat at night... But the battlefield is too chaotic. It wasn't until after dawn that he found out that Wang Jizhong had not withdrawn...

Wang Jizhong's retreat route has been cut off by the Liao cavalry, and the army's rations and baggage have also been burned. Looking around the battlefield, he could no longer see his allies, only fighting alone... He led his troops to attack the place where the grain and grass were burned, and first went to rescue the baggage. But his armor was too distinct. Song Liao fought for many years, and even the bowstrings of both sides were afraid of anything was no longer a secret. Who doesn't recognize the uniform color of the generals of the Song Dynasty? In an instant, he became the target of all the Liao soldiers... The Liao army was surrounded by dozens of people. The soldiers of the Song army protected him all the way and fought and walked, broke through the siege north along the West Mountain, and fought all the way to Baicheng, and finally reached the limit...

At this time, there was also a tragedy in the harem of the Great Song Dynasty. Song Zhenzong's second son, Empress Guo's only son, 9-year-old Zhao Yuanyou died of a serious illness. Fifteen days later, another 2-month-old son died... Song Zhenzong began to pay attention to the issue of his own heirs, and raised the son of the clan (according to my analysis, this child should be his fourth brother's son Zhao Yunrang, the father of the future Emperor Yingzong) as his own son and raised him in the palace.

The Great War is coming. There must be stability in the country. On the 25th, Zhang Yong, the first local minister of the Great Song Dynasty, led the emperor's trust to enter Shu again. This time, he will stay for a long time to bring complete happiness and well-being to the people of Shu...

In the Battle of Wangdu, the Song army was annihilated. Wang Jizhong was martyred for the country and has died in battle. The Liao army has been classified... This is Wang Chao's recital to the imperial court on May 2. He also knew who Wang Jizhong was, that was Zhao Heng's partner when he was still a prince! But the sense of responsibility and honor of being a soldier made it impossible for him to lie... But it's a big mistake...

Hearing that his childhood friend Wang Jizhong died in battle, Song Zhenzong was sadder than his own son's death. On the 8th, a state funeral was held for the king. But in fact, Wang Jizhong was not killed in the Battle of Wangdu, but was captured alive, and at this time he had surrendered to the Great Khitan. This surrender is significant. It directly contributed to the signing of the alliance of the abyss one and a half years later... I have made a ranking list for the heroes of the Battle of the Abyss. In the Great Song Dynasty, Wang Jizhong's contribution is only below Kou Zhun and can be ranked second! In the Great Liaofang, the contribution of Wang Jizhong, who was later renamed Yelu Xianzhong, is unparalleled. It is a well-deserved first hero! Therefore, "History of the Song Dynasty" and "History of Liao" have left a biography of him...

On May 5, Li Yuanhao, the son of Li Deming and the future founding emperor of Western Xia, was born. At this time, his grandfather Li Jiqian's life was only more than 20 days after the worst. He was running thousands of miles to attack Xiliang Mansion in the Hexi Corridor. The raid was a great victory, and Xiliang Mansion fell instantly. It is far worse than Lingzhou City in the Great Song Dynasty. Pan Luozhi and the Tubo people could only choose to flee, and the Hexi Corridor was hit by Li Jiqian in this way, biting off the fattest piece of meat. The Hexi Corridor has been the throat road from the Central Plains to the Western Regions in all dynasties. The famous "Silk Road" passes through here, and it is of great strategic significance. Now that Xiping and Xiliang have become the wings of the party, they will become eagles and soar...

Li Jiqian decided to take advantage of the victory to pursue, grabbed Pan Luozhi in one go, and uprooted the strength of the Tubo people. But... Panroch suddenly announced his surrender!

The drop is too big... That's it? The dignified Tubo's strongest tribe, the Liugu Division, is finished like this? Everyone eats this bowl of rice. Please, it's more difficult for you to deceive people, okay? Surrender is also an art, you are too blunt! But Li Jiqian didn't care about this, and in the face of naked fraud, he chose to follow up immediately...

So strike while the iron is hot. The heart of surrender is anxious, and the heart of surrender is sharp. The two sides hit it off and quickly held a surrender rally. The conference was held warmly and sincerely, and with the old eyes of Li Jiqian, a professional who surrendered, he looked left and right, and did not find any flaws. Inpanroch did a really good job...

In this way, in a harmonious and harmonious atmosphere that day, the surrender meeting ended successfully. Li Jiqian turned around and walked home happily... Then he suddenly discovered that the actors of the theater will change, and each one will be different. It turns out that fraud can still be done like this!

On Li Jiqian's way home, there was a sudden ambush. That was the entire family of the Six Grains of Tubo, plus the other tribes that were urgently summoned. Let's see off Li Jiqian...

Li Jiqian failed. He could only exert the escape magic skills that he had practiced diligently for twenty years. But this time, Tubo's war horse doesn't seem to be much worse than the party's. Li Jiqian barely escaped. But his body was full of arrows. On May 27, 1003, this party hero died of his wounds in Xiping Mansion... And Pan Luozhi immediately made a comeback, and Xiliang Mansion was Tubo again...

It started with a deception, and finally defrauded... Is this retribution or fate? 21 years ago, when he was only 20 years old, he deceived the Song army with the coffin of his nursing mother, came to Dijinze, and raised the banner of anti-Song self-reliance. After 21 years of struggle, at the age of 41, he is in the prime of life, but he wants to leave so reluctantly... Looking back on his life, he is so persevering, magnificent, full of perseverance and challenges, for freedom, for the independence and prosperity of his own nation, he has struggled all his life from beginning to end!

The hero who rose in suffering, before he died, he still couldn't let go of his subordinates and his 23-year-old son. He died in excruciating pain, but remained extremely conscious. Before he died, he repeatedly warned Li Deming: Keep it secret, don't let the Tubo people know that he is dead. First report the funeral to the Khitan, and ask the Great Khitan to seal your official and be your protector. Then he must be attached to the Great Song Dynasty, "I will be attached to the Song Dynasty, and if I don't listen to a table, I will ask again, although I have accumulated hundreds of tables, I can't invite you, don't stop it" Li Jiqian was so reluctant...

The battle of Wangdu failed, and his childhood friend 'died' in battle, which was no worse than the previous defeats. This failure made the emperor's nostalgic feelings absolutely unacceptable. Zhao Heng's reaction was unprecedentedly intense! He solicited opinions from a wide range of people, from the top-level prime minister of the Eastern Prefecture, the privy envoy of the Western Prefecture, to the grassroots officers like Er Yang, and finally made a decision on June 1.

The emperor took out the array diagram and explained them one by one. The armies of Ding, Zhen and Gaoyangguan were no longer dispersed, but all assembled on both sides of the Tang River in Dingzhou to form a large array. This is the core, and the force is completely different from what it used to be. In my dad's "Wanquan Pingrong Formation", the main force of infantry is in the center, and a small number of cavalry on both sides are just the embellishments of the large array. But I'm different, the infantry is on the periphery, and the center is the cavalry. Start a war with the Liao army, wait for the Liao army to attack, and then suddenly rush out of the Great Song cavalry! And this is just a trap in Dingzhou. I also arranged three fully mobile cavalry to the north and the front line of this large array: Wei Neng, Bai Shousu, and Zhang Rui led 6,000 cavalry to enter the Weilu Army. Yang Yanzhao, Zhang Yanxi, and Li Huaiba led 5,000 cavalry into Baozhou. Tian Min, Zhang Ning, and Shi Yanfu led 5,000 cavalry to the forefront of Beiping Village. Your mission is to hedge against the Liao army's forward. If there are too many Liao troops, let them go. After the battle between the Dingzhou Great Array and the Liao army in the rear, you will cut off all the enemy's grain, grass and baggage at the border, and wait to attack the Liao army before and after! In addition, just in case, I also set up four more garrisons in the area of the Daimyo Mansion in the east of the Dingzhou Great Array: Sun Quanzhao 8,000 troops stationed in the Yongbian Army, Li Chonggui 5,000 troops stationed in Xingzhou, Shipu 10,000 troops stationed in Mozhou, Shi Baoji 10,000 troops stationed in the Daimyo Mansion... I want to fill the northern defense line of the Great Song Dynasty with strong strongholds, and I want to highlight the cavalry! More importantly, I want to avenge my partners in the Battle of Wangdu! (To be continued......)
