The counterinsurgency has been stalemate for more than half a year. The traditional methods of building ladders to climb the city wall, hitting the city wall with chariots, digging holes over the city wall, etc., are all ineffective, because Wang Jun has practiced them. Then the two sides began to develop and innovate new weapons. The officers and soldiers invented a kind of siege equipment called cave houses. They pushed the cave house towards the city wall, and when they saw that they were done, they suddenly lost their feet, and even the people and the cave house were gone... The rebels actually dug tunnels and waited for the officers and soldiers to step on them. The imperial court sent Qin Han as an envoy to assist Lei Youzhong in quelling the rebellion. So the officers and soldiers made persistent efforts, piled up a mountain of earth on the fish bridge in the north of the city, and shot arrows into the city every day. A new kind of "goose wings and enemy shed covered hole car" was created again, approaching the city again... This time, the rebels stopped digging tunnels, demonstrating their unbridled imagination. Suddenly, an almost identical "enemy shed" appeared on the city wall, and the two boxcars gradually approached, and the rebels shouted, "We have given it a new name, called 'Happy Encounter'"

This stalemate lasted until September 4, when the official army finally broke through the enemy tower in Chengdu, and the rebels in the city began to lose heart...

On the 20th, the two cave houses of Lei Youzhong and Shipu finally reached the top of the Chengdu city wall. The power began to show, and a new door was opened from the outside to the inside of the city wall. Inside the door were the tips of the rebels' spears like honeycombs, and outside the door were two soldiers under the heavy rewards of the officers and soldiers, holding their spears and squeezing in through this "narrow door". The city of Chengdu was thus captured...

But it's not over yet, there are still street fights. From morning to night, the city was full of fires. More than 3,000 rebels were killed, but Wang Jun fled. Lei Youzhong learned his lesson and said that he would not enter the city at all, but that the whole city would continue to set fire, turning Chengdu into a city that never sleeps until dawn the next day... When it was dawn, Lei Youyou finally entered the city, but it was endless, and he set fire to it again. and give a decree to the whole city. Before summoning, the officials of the Song Dynasty immediately came to report. After reporting for duty, screening began, and as long as they had been officers of the rebel army, they were all thrown into the fire regardless of the reason.

The burning of the living continued from morning to night for another day, burning hundreds of people. "History of the Song Dynasty" commented on this 4-word "quite unjust", among these illegal and inhumane evils, only Li Jichang strictly restrained his subordinates. In addition to not disturbing the people, a large number of children and women were placed in monasteries and guarded by troops. Wait until the situation is stable before being sent home.

In October, Wang Jun fled to Fushun Prison, and Lei You ordered Yang Huaizhong to lead the Tiger Wing Army in pursuit. Two days later, Shi Pu was appointed as the second team. The rebels who had fled to Fushun Prison prepared to cross the river on a raft. Yang Huaizhong observed the enemy situation from a high place and decided not to give the rebels a chance to cross the river. In a vicious battle by the river, more than 6,000 rebels were captured alive, and the rest were completely annihilated. Wang Junshi was exhausted and committed suicide. His subordinate Lu Bin came to see Yang Huaizhong with Wang Jun's head, and wanted to make meritorious contributions. Yang is holding Wang Jun's head and is dreaming of being promoted to become rich. Shi Pu arrived. Without saying a word, he snatched Wang Jun's head and returned to Chengdu to receive the reward.

On the 8th, Lei Youzhong played the rebellion of the imperial court and quelled. On the 22nd, the imperial court granted amnesty to Chuan and Gorge 2 roads. 23rd. Wang Qinruo and Liang Hao were sent to pacify the Sichuan and Gorge 2 roads respectively.

On November 1, the Great Khitan named Li Deming, the son of Li Jiqian and the father of Li Yuanhao, the future founding emperor of Western Xia, as the envoy of Shuofang Festival.

On the 18th winter solstice, the Song Dynasty routinely held a grand court meeting. On this day, Zhang Qixian didn't know what evil he had fallen into, and he was actually drunk. Barely up and backwards. I almost fell to the ground in public. Now even the emperor can't protect him. The impeachment recitals of the imperial historians flew like snowflakes... On the 21st, Prime Minister Zhang was dismissed.

But who would have thought that from this moment on, the wheel of fortune began to spin. Maybe there is a providence in the dark. Until after the finalization of the finalization of the finale. Everyone will suddenly realize that it is essential to achieve the result that satisfies (or endures) everyone, including Song, Liao, and Xia... Including Prime Minister Zhang Da's drunkenness this time.

March 9, 1001, Haupyeong 4. Divide Sichuan and Gorge 2 roads for Yi, Li, Zi and Kui 4 roads. Since then, that land has had a new name: Sichuan. And it continues to be used now, thousands of years later...

On the 20th, Xiao Shi, the former queen of Liao Shengzong, was demoted to a noble concubine for her crimes. Han Derang was given the name Dechang, and was named the King of Qi, the Great Prime Minister, and the Privy Envoy of the North and South Academies, and became a collection of Hugh Ge and Xian, and the military and political power of the entire northern and southern territories of the Great Khitan was in one. He became the first minister with the heaviest authority in Liao history for more than 200 years.

In April, Wang Qinruo returned from Shu. In order to reward him, Wang Qinruo was promoted to the rank of governor on the same day.

On May 15, Liao Shengzong appointed his cousin Xiao Bodhisattva as Empress Qi Tian.

Recently, Da Song got a message. During Wang Jun's mutiny, Li Jiqian suddenly had an old problem and robbed the military rations that were transported to Lingzhou City. The nature is vile and the action is rough, and it is completely a copy of the famous robbery of 400,000 stone military rations a few years ago.

When the news came, all the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty were silent. It was not so much anger and consternation as chagrin and remorse. Why are we so sluggish! In fact, Li Jiqian has already told us clearly: he will do it soon!

One night in 999, there was a sudden loud bang in Li Jiqian's camp, and the fire was shining everywhere, and the sound shook for hundreds of miles. All the party members woke up in fright, got up and started searching overnight, only to find a large pit outside Li Jiqian's tent, and a strange stone - a meteorite lying quietly inside. Li Jiqian was really lucky that night. As long as the meteorite deviates a little more, it can be exchanged with each other, and he can be directly replaced in the sky to be a star. And what is even more bizarre is that the meteorite is also engraved with a line of words: "Tianjie Er, don't be a Chinese trouble", please note that there is no Western Xia script at this time, so it is written in Chinese characters. This is the manifestation of the gods of the Han nationality, warning Li Jiqian not to go to the Song Dynasty to cause trouble again.

Li Jiqian immediately announced that he was persuaded, cursed and swore that I would never go south again. Words count, otherwise let me watch meteor showers every day... This matter spread to the Central Plains, and the Han people liked it from the bottom of their hearts. Whether this is really a miracle or Li Jiqian is making trouble, it proves one thing. That is, Li Jiqian announced to the outside world with great sincerity that he would reconcile with the Great Song Dynasty from now on and never make any more trouble. And use this command of God as a reason to make his warlike people obedient...

What a good intention! But why didn't the Han people think about the subtext behind this meteorite at that time? The south won't let me go, so where do I have to go? North and East? Those are all my Khitan fathers-in-law. Then you have to go west... The Uighurs in the west and the Tibetans in the southwest could not provoke meteorites, let alone China. But be careful, as long as you go west, you still have to run into your old friend Lingzhou... So I'm sorry. In order to listen to the words of Brother Meteorite, he can only pull out Lingzhou first. The looting of military rations was the first step. Da Song knew this. Even what Li Jiqian is going to do next is clear. What to do? Do you want Lingzhou?

Zhao Heng chose to forbear. Because July 10th. An alarm was sent from the north, and the Liao army was about to invade.

Zhao Heng appointed Wang Xian and Wang Chao as the chief and deputy commanders of the front, and waited for them in northern Xinjiang with 35,000 cavalry. Dingzhou was nominally the base camp, but only 15 thousand cavalry remained. The front Mozhou and Beiping Zhai each have 10,000 iron horses. This large array is heavy in front and light in the back, and the center of gravity has reached the border. However, Zhao Heng issued a new order after the troops were in place, and ordered the large array to move forward again, to reach the city of Weilu's army. In this way, the enemy can be kept out of the country and the Khitans will not be allowed to rush into the Song Realm!

And what about the northwest? Song Zhenzong's mind suddenly flashed. On August 2, he appointed former Prime Minister Zhang Qixian as the pacification envoy of Jing, Yuan, Yi, Wei, Sui, Ning, Huan, Qing, Yan, Yan, Baoan, Zhenrong, Qingyuan and other state armies, and Liang Hao as his deputy. Immediately rushed to the Northwest Frontier to preside over the defense. This is a record. The envoy of the Great Song Dynasty to control the defense of important frontier towns began with Zhang Qixian. But how to say it? The reason is purely self-inflicted. Who made him so drunk and out of line? But this is the providential arrangement in the dark, and Li Jiqian began the most brilliant and crazy performance of his life for more than 20 months. The last party hero will die on Zhang Qixian's words...

In September, Li Jiqian sent troops to attack the Qingyuan army in the southeast of Lingzhou. As long as the Qingyuan army is captured, Lingzhou City will be completely isolated! Qingyuan City resisted on the one hand and asked Yang Qiong for help. Yang Qiong was preparing to send all her troops and horses, and someone said, "No!" So we're going to have an accident in the rear..."Hell of it!" Open the map and draw a line sloping to the southeast starting from Lingzhou, followed by the Qingyuan Army, then Huanzhou in the interior of the Great Song Dynasty, and then Gyeongju. Historical records: When Yang Qiong marched forward. He arrived in Gyeongju! It's always in the country, and even the state hasn't arrived, and you're still worried about the rear...

But Yang Qiong actually obeyed, and he left the large army and himself in the rear Gyeongju City. Only 6,000 men were sent to relieve the siege of the Qingyuan army.

Without waiting for the 6,000 men to arrive, the Qingyuan army was lost. At this time, Yang Qiong sent 600 people to reinforce again. But before these 600 people arrived, Li Jiqian entered the territory of the Song Dynasty! Yang Qiong and his brigade were pushed to Qinggangzhai in Wangmeiyuan. It's dangerous, but it's also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity...

This was the first time in Li Jiqian's life that he had left the desert. put his head into the interior of the Great Song Dynasty. Yang Qiong has a huge reinforcement force around him, and in the face of the fat sent to the door, Li Jiqian will not be bitten to death. You have to take off several layers of skin, too! Then he would have to run away again. When the battlefield returns to the territory of the party, the Qingyuan army will be lost and regained, and the previous defeat will turn into a successful lure to the enemy... In this way, no matter what Li Jiqian's life and death are, Lingzhou will at least be safe. But...

Yang Qiong's subordinates were worried about "the safety of the rear" not long ago, "Qinggangzhai has too little water source." There is no way to garrison a large number of people, and it is impossible to hold it at all. So there is only one way, give it up and retreat immediately" Yang Qiong listened to the persuasion again, burned everything that could not be taken away, and led the people to retreat quickly. They succeeded, and Li Jiqian, who was riding a party horse, didn't have time to chase after him, so he could only choose another target: Linzhou.

Li Jiqian made a mistake. He didn't know that the defender of Linzhou was Cao Wei, the second son of the first general. He was a nightmare for later party members. The first knife at the opening of the market was slashed at the party item Zhongxing sage Li Jiqian...

At that time, Li Jiqian was attacking the city and felt very energetic. Suddenly, something happened behind him. In Xiliupachuan, Tanglong Town, near Linzhou, his grain cart was robbed by a Song army that suddenly appeared... When the news came, Li Jiqian was a little confused. What's going on? My grain and grass were robbed by the Song army? But after years of robbery, he couldn't be clearer about what to do after the grain and grass were cut off. Immediately, honestly, he disappeared from Song territory with the fastest and most well-behaved action, and ran back to Dang Xiang's hometown.

He memorized 1 name and 8 Chinese characters. The person's name is Cao Wei, not only Li Jiqian, but also Li Deming deeply remembers this name. The 8 Chinese characters are the strange tattoos on the meteorite "Tianjie Er Don't be troubled for China" He decided, he really never went south again, and turned back to open up Lingzhou City first. After that, the heavens and the earth will suddenly open up. Li Jiqian and the entire Dangxiang clan will no longer be a handful of homeless people who were cramped on the banks of the Yellow River before, and they will usher in the vast world of their dreams...

On the 23rd, the Liao lord Yelu Longxu came to Youzhou City, Nanjing. On October 1st, the edict was issued to conquer the Song Dynasty! On the 4th, his younger brother Yelu Longyou was named the king of Chu and stayed in Beijing. On the 9th, he ordered his younger brother Liang Wang Yelu Longqing to be the vanguard, and the army set out! But Khitan brothers, you must at least say hello to heaven and earth first, borrow a good weather, borrow a good place, and then you can come, right?

On the 12th, Song Zhenzong used a map of 23 prefectures in Shaanxi to discuss with his ministers the offensive and defensive states of Qin, Ling, Gan, Yi, Liang, and You.

On the 16th, the Liao army met Zhang Bin, the vanguard of the Song army, at the mouth of the Great Wall. At this time, the rain is pouring down. The Liao army has revealed a fatal flaw - their bowstring!

There has been no answer to a question, primitive humans are distributed in all corners of the world, and they can't communicate with each other at all, but why do they use bows and arrows? Who taught them uniformly? Or is it the same species that has the same intelligence and therefore the same creativity? Don't think about it yet. I would like to say that the raw materials of bows and arrows vary from place to place in the world, especially bowstrings. Nomads use cow tendons, leather, and the like. However, the farming people do not have so many livestock, so they have to use silk, twine and other materials. That's the big difference. Like the leather bowstring used by the Khitan people at this time, it will lose its elasticity when it encounters rain, which is equivalent to a waste bow without strings!

Feng Shui rotated, and in the battle of Junziguan that year, the bowstring of the Song army failed in the cold and freezing, and the whole army was wiped out. At this time, the Liao army was completely defeated by Zhang Bin and fled north. Zhang Bin was in hot pursuit, so he collided with the main force of the Liao army behind... Wang Xian, the commander of the Dingzhou Great Array of the Song Army, failed to catch up with him in time. Zhang Bin immediately decided: Withdraw the army! At this time, the Song army was all cavalry, galloping all the way, and safely retreated to Suicheng before the Liao army encircled.

The main force of the Liao army followed closely and caught up, so they ran into their old acquaintances Eryang - Yang Yanzhao and Yang Si. This time, Er Yang chose to go out of the city to fight the Liao army in the field. In essence, this was the vanguard of the Song army fighting against the main force of the Liao army, so they were defeated, but Er Yang still fought. Yang Liulang almost became his father, as long as the surname Yang played, there would be no backup... But fortunately, this time, before Eryang was about to collapse, the Song army reinforcements finally arrived. This is Li Jixuan and Qin Han's troops, and they are still not the main force of the Dingzhou Great Array. But the hard struggle of Eryang finally showed its effect, and as soon as Li Jixuan and Qin Han's new forces were put into the battlefield, the Liao army could not support it...

On the 28th, the lord of Liao ordered the class to be muddy with heavy rain. On November 9, Wang Xian played a victory. (To be continued......)
