The Death of Tokuaki

On the 24th, the Liao lord Yeluxian rewarded the hero. On the other hand, Zhao Guangyi, the emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, is really too unlucky. Taiyuan, Youzhou, what a hard battle these are! Your Majesty, it's okay if you don't send money from Youzhou, but you can't even pay the Taiyuan bonus that Chen owes, it's too much to say, right? was angry, but no one dared to tell Zhao Guangyi. The emperor had just been defeated and injured, and it was purely sick to complain at this time.

There is only one person: Zhao Dezhao. In August, he found an opportunity to meet his third uncle of the emperor, to ask for merit and reward for the soldiers of the Northern Expedition, and to state the merits and demerits... But he couldn't have imagined that his third uncle suddenly became angry and yelled at him, "It's not too late to reward you when you become the emperor yourself."

Zhao Dezhao was stunned. When the emperor... Something suddenly flashed in his mind: that night, Zhao Guangyi fled alone and did not know where to go. And the Song army thought he was dead. The army could not be left without an owner, and they unanimously supported the enthronement of Zhao Dezhao, the son of the first emperor, in the army. This is something that you have to do. And as soon as they learned that Zhao Guangyi was still alive, they immediately stopped everything and reassembled to the emperor's side. At that time, the big slut didn't say anything, like he was very understanding and didn't mind. But could he really forget? You must know that Lu Dao was in the army at that time, not only the princes Zhao Tingmei and Zhao Defang, the former prime minister Zhao Pu, but also the current prime minister Xue Juzheng, the deputy minister Lu Duoxun, and the privy envoy Cao Bin... That's a complete court. These people unanimously supported a new emperor, and the new emperor turned out to be the one who should succeed to the throne the most!

What's even more amazing is that now Zhao Dezhao has actually come to ask for credit for those people... It's really a return for the peach, and the courtesy is still exchanged! What a tacit understanding! The big slut couldn't bear it anymore and was angry and showdowned: Do you want to reward people? Do you want to be emperor yourself?

The third uncle turned his face. Zhao Dezhao retreated in panic, went back to his house directly, and suddenly asked the people around him, "Who of you has a knife" Everyone shook their heads, "Don't dare to take it in the palace" Dezhao walked into the tea and wine pavilion alone, and after entering, he closed the door. Then he committed suicide with a fruit knife.

Just because he was suspicious of the third uncle, he committed suicide in a moment of anger. Think about it, he was born as a prince and Zhao Kuangyin's sister-in-law. But his biological mother died early, and his father didn't seem to be close to him. And from this incident, it can be seen that he is not clever at all. Not to mention likable. Even on the night of his father's death, the heirs that his stepmother thought of were all his half-brothers. What made him even more cold was that he felt that everyone had abandoned him. He came to the third uncle to ask for a reward for everyone, but no one reminded him to be careful, and they all watched him jump into the pit. You must know that on the eve of Lu Dao's expedition to the Northern Han Dynasty, there was also a big fat man surnamed Lu who reminded his fourth uncle Zhao Tingmei not to stay in the capital under orders, and he must apply to fight with the army...

The world is hot and cold, and people are like paper... Zhao Dezhao chose to commit suicide, and he was a hundred. But is that really the case? No matter how depressed and excited your heart is, it won't be so fragile, right? There are 2 doubts: 1 Before the defeat of Youzhou. Did Zhao Guangyi have the heart to kill his nephew 2 Did Zhao Dezhao have the heart to be the emperor when he was proponted? Does Zhao Guangyi think he can really continue to threaten himself?

Question 1: When Youzhou was defeated, Zhao Guangyi had been the emperor for nearly 3 years. There won't be no chance during this period, right? Do you have to wait until after the defeat of the army and return to China before blatantly making trouble?

Question 2: When Zhao Guangyi disappeared and the whole army supported him, Zhao Dezhao could not replace the third uncle. His ability can be imagined. Zhao Guangyi didn't have any need to worry about anything.

Then why did he speak harshly to his nephew? It's a matter of medical knowledge. May I ask a man who was shot with two arrows in the midsummer of the seventh month of the lunar calendar, and fled for a day and a night on horseback without any medical treatment. How much will his wounds get worse? There is countless historical evidence to prove that Zhao Guangyi has been struggling on the death line since he began to flee for his life under the city of Youzhou. He's changed. It's not that he wants to change, but he must be ready to die at all times, and he has to worry about the future - not that Zhao Dezhao has two other "relatives" usurping his throne. but lest they usurp the throne of his son. I am even more afraid that they will force the palace to rebel when they are suddenly seriously injured. So they have to be dealt with... The most important of the three is the natural prince Zhao Dezhao.

So there was always such a picture in front of my eyes: Zhao Dezhao returned home, nervous, depressed, and locked himself up. At this time, he was the only one in the tea and wine pavilion. The window suddenly opened. Or simply break into the door and someone kills him with a fruit knife on the spot... There is no witness, no physical evidence, but there is ironclad evidence of suicide.

After that, the big slut was shocked when he heard the news and hurried over. Holding the corpse of his nephew and crying, "Idiot, why is it so evil" to chase the king of Wei.

Regardless of whether the tears of the big slut are real or not, the historical fact we see is: in the next 4 years or so. The big slut did this 2 more times...

September 30. Stayed behind in Nanjing, Han Kuangsi, the king of Yan, was the commander, and led Yelu Sha, Yelu Xiuge and other commanders to the south to take revenge on the Song army for besieging Youyan. Zhao Guangyi attaches unprecedented importance to this challenge. In order to win, he urgently sent a "magic weapon" to the front-line soldiers with a fast horse, which was the "crystallization of wisdom" that he had condensed after years of painstaking meditation, continuous practice, and the review of the Battle of Youyan, but no one expected that it was from this "magic weapon" that the combat effectiveness of the Song army fell rapidly from the world in the era of Zhao Kuangyin. This is the 'array map' that was regarded as a treasure by the officials of the Zhao and Song dynasties, but was hated by all the front-line generals

The picture is clearly drawn that the emperor wants them to be divided into eight formations, each of which is a hundred steps apart. There is also a note with a solemn warning: We must do this no matter how the enemy comes!

Holding the drawings in hand, facing the Liao army, the guards of the Great Song Dynasty Mancheng all determined one by one that one thing was "dead," Zhao Yanjin said. He had just ascended to the heights and looked into the distance, there were many Liao troops, and they were not divided into eight divisions, they were swarming over.

"Dead," Cui Han agreed.

"Dead" prison soldier Li Jilong is very uncomfortable, but he is a realistic person.

"Dead" coach Liu Tinghan is super frustrated. He knew he was dead. If you don't die here, you will have to lose your head when you go back from defeat.

"Shut up" Zhao Yanjin suddenly became furious. He said something that everyone understood but didn't dare to say, "Now that our team is scattered, it will definitely be over." Why don't you gather all the soldiers and fight with the Khitans? You say, is it good to lose the teacher and humiliate the country? It's better to break the order and win" Everyone knows which one is better, but Cui Han and a large number of other people looked at him coldly and said a word, "If you don't win, what should I do" Zhao Yanjin was completely angry, and shouted, "If there is a defeat, Yanjin is solely responsible" But Cui Han and the others continued to hold the leader of Tusi in their hands as if they didn't hear it. Finally, Li Jilong, the overseer, spoke: "Change the formation!" The crime of resisting the decree is counted as my own" As soon as these words came out, the generals responded quickly. In the blink of an eye. The eight large arrays quickly merged into two. And immediately Cui Yanjin ran away with the troops, "Who is getting together with you stupid dogs", Cui Yanjin ran to the Liao army camp opposite.

So Han Kuangsi, the commander of the Liao army, received a letter of surrender from the Song army. The letter was written very realistically, the Song army was finished, and Youzhou was defeated too badly. The emperor commanded blindly. Now I don't want to die, I can only surrender. Han Kuangsi compared his heart to his heart and believed it. Don't forget, there is also the Khitan god of war Yelu Xiu by his side: "No! There are many Song soldiers, all of whom are elite. This must be a fraudulent surrender, "But Han Kuangsi, I am the boss, I am the master, and I will surrender!"

As a result, all of a sudden, the Song army, which had surrendered, swooped down, and the dust and sand rolled up was even bigger than when the Liao army came. Han Kuangsi was stupid and didn't react at all. In this way, he was defeated by the Song army in a daze. fled all the way to Suicheng, where more than 10,000 people were cut down, more than 1,000 horses were lost, and 3 generals and more than 30,000 Liao people around Suicheng were taken prisoner... Only Jeruxiugo was prepared, fought with all his strength, and slowly retreated. Song Jun was helpless against him.

After a great defeat in this battle, Liao Jingzong was furious and convicted Han Kuangsi of 5 major crimes. If it weren't for Empress Xiao Xuanlibao (Ye Shi has been hyping up the affair of the future Empress Dowager Xiao Xiao and Han Derang, the son of Han Kuanghei. I'm afraid it's not for nothing) Han Kuangsi's head is not guaranteed. But Han Kuangsi must go into the wilderness. The Khitan god of war, Yelu Huge, began to take charge of the south and crowned the king of the northern courtyard. From then on, the Great Song Dynasty had to face the challenge of this first strong enemy...

October 29th. Zhao Guangyi finally rewarded the Battle of Taiyuan. In the face of the aggressiveness of the Great Liao, on November 17, an old enemy of the Khitans was appointed as the Daizhou and Sanjiao garrison to deploy troops and horses, and its specific garrison was at Yanmen Pass. This is the most critical and most important barrier for the Northern Song Dynasty that lost the arch of the Great Wall. Zhao general Li Mu during the Warring States period, Meng Tian during the Qin period, Li Guang during the Han period, Xue Rengui during the Tang period... The names of these famous generals are closely related to Yanmen Tianha... to the Taizong Dynasty of the Northern Song Dynasty. This name is Yang Ye. From this moment on, the prestige of the Yang family began to spread for thousands of years... At that time, Yang Ye's top boss was Pan Mei, the first brave general of the Northern Song Dynasty, who was transformed into a white-faced traitor Pan Renmei in the later storytelling romance. It was also at this time that two real soldiers began to defend this most important frontier fortress for the Northern Song Dynasty.

March 20, the 5th year of Taiping Xingguo (980). Yeluxian sent another 100,000 troops, led by the horse Xiao Duoluo, and the attack location was chosen at Yanmen Pass!

Pan Mei, Yang Ye. This was the strongest combination in the Song army at that time. At the Yanmen Pass, the two people attacked from the north and south, and defeated the 100,000 troops of the Liao State in one fell swoop. Killed the coach Xiao Duoluo and captured Li Chongzhi alive.

The beacon fire at the border was temporarily suspended, and the Song Dynasty ushered in another grand ceremony. The third scientific expedition of the Taizong Dynasty began. This subject is recognized as the "Dragon and Tiger List", that is, it is placed in the history of the imperial examination in 1300 years, and the prosperity of talents on this list can be called unprecedented. In the words of Jinshi Zhang Yong back then, "I have the most people in the list." Cautious and elegant, not as good as Li Xin. Deep and virtuous, subduing the world, not as good as Wang Dan. The face is folded and disputed, known as style, not as good as Kou Zhun. When it comes to planning, Ze Yong does not dare to resign, "Li Xin is a saint, Wang Dan is a perfect man, Kou Zhun is a giant, and these three are all prime ministers." And Zhang Yong was the first local magistrate in the 319 years of the Two Song Dynasty.

But the famous ministers of the Song Dynasty, it is not yet your chance to appear. The Khitans failed to retaliate twice in a row and decided to escalate the war. It's just that the people of the Song Dynasty didn't expect that the Liao side would suddenly play the biggest game - in October, the Great Liao Emperor Yeluxian drove a personal expedition. The vanguard is Yelu Huge, the god of war of the Great Liao. This time, they avoided Pan and Yang's Yanmen Pass, and chose the key pass of the traditional route from Youzhou to Kaifeng - Waqiao Pass, that is, the Xiongzhou recovered by Chai Rong's Northern Expedition.

When the news came, Juchao was shocked. Zhao Guangyi quickly mobilized his forces and assembled in Xiongzhou.

On October 29, Yeluxian's army surrounded Waqiao Pass. On 1 November, the Song army launched a night attack but was repulsed. On the 3rd, the Liao army suddenly launched an attack and attacked Waqiao Pass. The Waqiao guard will be called Zhang Shi, and this is a brave general. He immediately decided to lead his army out of the city, to break up the Liao army, so that the friendly troops on the other side of the river could cross the river. But he was very unlucky, and the enemy he faced was none other than Yelu Huge, the god of war of the Great Liao! Although Zhang Shi was brave, he was finally unable to defeat Yelu Huge and died on the spot. The Song soldiers retreated to the city of Xiongzhou and continued to hold on.

On the 9th, Yelu Hugo stormed Waqiao Pass! Liao Jingzong was afraid that Song Jun would recognize him because Brother Xiu was riding a special yellow horse, so he gave him a white horse with Xuanjia armor. The Great Liao God of War was brave, and the Song army was defeated, retreating all the way to Mozhou. Yeluxian was overjoyed and personally celebrated the success of Yeluxiu.

Waqiao Pass has been broken through, and the Central Plains ahead is already a smooth road. On the 10th, Zhao Guangyi announced his personal conquest and ordered Zhao Tingmei to stay in Kaifeng. On the 13th, he left Kaifeng City. Seeing that it was a foregone conclusion that the emperors of Song and Liao directly singled themselves out, but on the 17th, without any warning, the Khitans suddenly retreated. On the 26th, he returned to Youzhou.

For what? Could it be that the Khitans have other conspiracies? Or did Zhao Guangyi personally meet the enemy and scare them away? Neither. The Khitans had internal injuries. They have a fatal flaw within them. Later, this defect was discovered by the Song Dynasty people intentionally or unintentionally. The reason why Cao Yu was able to sign the alliance of the Yuanyuan and the reason why Fu Bi was able to only increase the number of coins without ceding the land benefited from this to a large extent.

On December 1, Yelu Hugo received the highest reward of the people - the official worship of Yue. He is also one of the 4 most famous in the history of Liao for more than 200 years. On the 8th, Yang Ye became an observer of Yunzhou. After the Battle of Yanmen, he was revered as 'Yang Invincible' by the Liao people, but he suddenly rose to prominence as soon as he surrendered for more than 1 year, and immediately attracted envy. Someone wrote a secret letter to Zhao Guangyi to denounce his various wrongs. But this time, the big slut handled it very rationally, and he didn't track it down, so he sent the letter to the border and handed it over to Yang Ye... On the 16th, Zhao Guangyi drove back to Kaifeng.

Prior to this, another Song army was on an expedition south to Jiaozhi. However, this dispatch of troops was completely outside of Zhao Guangyi's plan, and it was a by-product of Zhao Pu's PK Lu Duoxun.

Back then, Lu Duoxun relied on the advantage of the director of the National Library of the Great Song Dynasty to make Zhao Pu disgraced every time Zhao Kuangyin asked some questions of 'who is not who is also'. He also won the trust of Zhao Kuangyin because he sent an envoy to the Southern Tang Dynasty and brought back the maps of the states of the Southern Tang Dynasty. So he seized every opportunity to meet with the emperor, and when he met once, he revealed some of Zhao Pu's shortcomings. Until Zhao Pu was dismissed as prime minister and driven out of Beijing, he has been on the rise since then, and has been sitting in the position of deputy prime minister of political affairs. And because he is a close confidant of Zhao Guangyi, Xue Juzheng and Shen Yilun above him have to give him three points. But Lu Duosun was still not satisfied. He seemed to regard Zhao Pu as the biggest opponent in his life, and he was addicted to abusing Zhao Pu...

Zhao Pu resigned as prime minister and was driven out of the capital? No way! We have to continue to dismiss the officials! Zhao Pu's entry into Beijing was fully monitored? No way! The persecution must continue! Later, Zhao Pu was left with only a cronie named Wang Jiying. The dignified Prime Minister of the founding of the Song Dynasty was made into a lonely old man, but it was still not enough! Continue the persecution of Zhao Pu's relatives! (To be continued......)
