Chapter 523: The Thirty-Seventh Plan (Part II)
"Uncle Hui, filial piety, use obscurity, retro, Tanfu, write in your hearts, don't shy away from it, writing history is for future generations to learn from, if you avoid it, you will lose the value of writing history." Song Jiu said softly.
Wang Shu, Wang Zeng, Zhang Zhibai, Li Di and Lu Yijian came to the army one after another.
However, Zhao Heng did not give him an official position, and it happened that the imperial court intended to restore Yanyun education, and transported many book transcripts from the capital, of course, there were also many books in Youzhou that were not available in the imperial court, and the two complemented each other.
At the suggestion of Song Jiu, five people took some Han scholars from Youzhou to write a record of the rise and fall of the previous dynasties.
It is not written in ancient times, but since the Qin Dynasty, including the Two Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms, the Eastern and Western Jin Dynasty, the Sixteen Kingdoms, the Southern Song Dynasty, the Liang Chen, the Northern Wei Dynasty, the Northern Zhou Dynasty and the Eastern Qi Dynasty, and the Sui and Tang Dynasties, the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The choice is to write about the rise and fall of the other, such as the second Qin Hu Hai and the Han Gaozu Liu Bang, and then write how the entire Western Han Dynasty rested and recuperated, giving Han Guangwu the wealth of using soldiers, and how Han Guangwu blindly used troops, and left those drawbacks when Emperor Xuan of Han ruled and prospered the Han Dynasty again.
Focusing on discussion, supplemented by historical records, is to find out the reasons for the strength of each dynasty and the reasons for its decline.
even asked them to truthfully record how Zhao Kuangyin succeeded in replacing Chai Rong, that is, the military power was in hand, in fact, this was also the real reason why Zhao Kuangyin released the military power with a glass of wine, not to prevent the Anshi Rebellion and the secession of the feudal town, but to prevent the rise of another Zhao Kuangyin.
The main thing about repairing history is these five civil officials, and they are the original Liao ministers and literati in Youzhou, and these people are also the elite of Yanyun, and letting them participate can quickly draw them into the Song Dynasty group. At least if he can advocate for the Song Dynasty in public opinion, then Yan Yun will inevitably return to his heart in a year or two.
Then Song Jiu, Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo, Bi Shi'an and others often took time to read the manuscript. Give your own opinions, and also faithfully record them at the end of each volume. As a post-volume.
The historical reference of this book is relatively poor, but its intention is very clear, that is, to show every emperor, to every upper-class scholar and doctor, to learn from history, refer to them, put forward their own suggestions, and bring them to the governance of the country.
Even Zhao Heng often participates in discussions.
And under the leadership of Song Jiu, many opinions are very pertinent. For example, Zhao Kuangyin replaced Hou Zhou, which was the fifth generation, and it was not possible to rely on military generals who could fight. One famous general is worth an army of 100,000.
When the Song Dynasty was unified, the Song Dynasty had a high prestige in the hearts of the people and became the Zhengshuo of the world.
The result of this conclusion will be able to raise the status of the military commander slightly.
However, the five people came to the north, and the main task was not to revise history. Instead, they will serve as civilian officials to govern all parts of the north, and they will serve as the first civil officials of the five state capitals of Youzhou, and then let some military generals stay as soldiers and horses. One article and one martial arts, after a few years, all parts of Youzhou Road can be stable. At least most of the area could be formally governed by the imperial court.
Therefore, he brought them to the army and continued to revise history.
Strange to the military. It is impossible to stay in the Northeast, especially in the first few years.
A few people were flattered. This is Jaepei.
His future may be as bright as the sun......
Don't think that if you stay in the army, you will be able to do something in the future, Sima Guang also stayed in Fuzhou for a while, and Pang Ji also taught him personally, but no matter how conservative Pang Ji is, will he do anything to repay the important fort that he finally took down to the Xixia people? Moreover, Pang Ji, known as Xiao Lu Yijian, is also a staunch reformer, but he is a fine-tuned reformer, not a conservative, which offended the big guy and soon stepped down.
Then the state made Wen Yanbo, Han Qi, Ouyang Xiu and others a miasma, forcing Song Shenzong and Wang Anshi to make great strides of reform.
This process of revising history is actually a process of cultivating their values. That's what cultivation really is.
A history of history revision is to cultivate five famous histories for the Song Dynasty. But these people didn't dare to think that far ahead.
Several people had the courage to begin to write Chai Rong's Later Zhou history.
Song Jiu smiled slightly.
Zhang Qixian, Xiang Minzhong, Bi Shi'an, Wang Dan and Wang Qinruo and others have their own advantages and disadvantages, but they can barely serve as prime ministers.
Then a few enlarged versions of Lu Yijian, Li Di, Zhang Zhibai, Wang Zeng and Wang Shu, then the country will not make major mistakes in these forty years.
Forty years is enough to bring the Song Dynasty into the dream dynasty.
Cao Yu is back.
He deliberately carried two ambiguous opinions, although his tone became tougher, but it caused confusion to the monarchs and ministers of the Liao State.
So the Liao State put forward its own opinions, and the two countries agreed, and the Liao State acquiesced in the Song Dynasty's occupation of Guannei, including the Qianzhou region, including the Yunzhong region. The territory of the two countries reaches Juyanhai in the west, Yinshan, Yanshan and Qianzhou Pass in the east, the territory of the Liao State to the north, and the territory of the Song Dynasty to the south.
The two countries will never invade, and the stone is a monument, standing on the border, and the two countries are in trade, setting up mutual markets, and complementing each other.
The two countries are commensurate with brothers, and Yelu descends to Qingzun Zhao Heng as the eldest brother.
The Liao State was willing to give 50,000 horses to the Song Dynasty every year, and at the same time expand the wool trade routes, but the Song Dynasty was not allowed to instigate the Tatars and the Northeast Jurchen Bohai to rebel against the Liao State, and at the same time Sun Quanzhao and Shi Pu withdrew their troops.
This article was given to the Song Dynasty to save face, and it was also given to the Liao State to step down.
If they had proposed it two months ago, they might have split several important ministers of the Song Dynasty immediately.
However, it was too late to bring it up. Feng Zheng's mouth opened, and after thinking about the marching routes of the various armies, he didn't speak after all.
Cao Yu went to Liaoying again.
This time his attitude became more assertive, and the Song Dynasty would agree to several other conditions, but still did not approve of the territory, and the imperial court had to obtain Changli County, Xuanwu County, and Liaodong County under Cao Wei.
The Liao State replied again that if that was the case, if Goryeo agreed to hand over their original Lelang County and Obifang County to the Song Dynasty, the Liao State would return the three former counties of Cao Wei to the Song Dynasty. This is impossible, at this time the capital of Goryeo was in Kaegyong (later Kaesong), Pyongyang's status was still undiminished, but the Goryeo Xijing region, if the two old counties were returned to the Song Dynasty, Goryeo would lose Xijing, and even the Song Dynasty's territory was close to the city of Kaeong. Although Kaijing was once broken by the Liao army. But it was the capital of Goryeo.
Of course, it is impossible for Liao to agree, and the earliest areas outside the Guanxi developed by Liao are the lower areas of the Liao River and the coastal area of Bohai Bay. It was handed over to the Song Dynasty and the agricultural base here was lost. The Liao State has really become a nomadic country again.
For the nobles of the Liao Kingdom who began to enjoy happiness, it would undoubtedly be a nightmare.
However, this statement is only a delay.
Hearing that the Song army was dispatched, Liaodong of the Liao State also began to gather troops.
Whether it was a group of stragglers or not, the number of troops almost reached nearly 50,000.
Then the army went west, fought with Shi Pu at the Liao River, and was defeated by Shi Pu, but Shi Pu was a group of infantry in his hands, unable to expand the results of the battle, and killed more than 7,000 Liao troops. The two armies were at a stalemate on the east and west banks of the Liao River.
This led to Yelu Longqing finally setting his sights on this army.
While negotiating with the Song Dynasty, he secretly sent more than 10,000 cavalry to sneak and rush to the Liao River.
They all have their own little abacus, but whoever plays well will be seen immediately.
……
"Quick, camp and rest, Jing Si, you take 5,000 soldiers to immediately lead the horses and graze the food, and then cut some grass to prepare to bring it."
Cao Wei gave orders one after another.
It was an imaginative battle.
According to the original plan. Song Jiu planned to let Cao Wei lead the Xianping army from the middle of Yanshan and attack Zezhou in Liao.
However, as the tide of the battle changed, Li Jilong and Cao Wei obtained a large number of maps from the scouts, so they proposed to revise the plan.
That is from the Gubei Kou, which is being built further west. Go around in a circle, and then go from Liuchuan to Zhongjing of Liao. The disadvantage is that Song Jiu is worried about the disconnection, too far away from the middle army. The advantage is that although there are some detours. In fact, many roads have become smooth, and there are many meadows along the way. River Valley Ranch, which can travel lightly. There are fewer mountain roads, so it will reach the lower part of the city at a faster speed.
And far away, the place has become empty, which can be used as a surprise soldier.
The Song Dynasty and the Liao State sent envoys to each other, and when they were playing with their hearts, Cao Wei sent troops to Gubeikou, which was a real light advance, just like the Liao State.
Fifteen thousand war horses were selected from the captured Liao war horses to be pack horses, carrying simple luggage, as well as simple siege equipment, and even the grain was pickled salted meat, plus it was hot again, and the weather was hot, and the luggage became correspondingly simpler, and after the Gubei Pass, there were not as many mosquitoes as in the south, which brought more convenient conditions for light marching.
In just two days, the Song army waded through the upper reaches of the Chaoli River and the Luan River, came to the middle and upper reaches of the Liuhe River, crossed the Liuhe River again, and camped here to rest.
"General Cao, this place is really different from Hebei."
Wei Neng said.
"That's it." Cao Wei said, when I arrived here, although it was a hot day, the weather became high and refreshing, but it was different from the northwest, where the climate was very dry, not as cool and pleasant as here.
After resting for the night, more than 20,000 Xianping troops turned the direction and went straight to the east instead of the north, rushing to the northern foot of Mayu Mountain, and then crossing the Sanskin River to the east to be the capital of the Liao Kingdom.
At this time, the Liao State sent scouts to the Liuzhou River to report the emergency.
It is less than 400 miles from Liuhe to Zhongjing in Liaoguo, and only 200 miles if it is pulled into a straight line. And there are few tall mountains along the way, for a light cavalry, it is only a day and a half of travel.
If it weren't for the fact that there were still a little more troops, they would even be able to rush to Zhongjing in one day.
Just when Zhongjing of Liao State received the news and Yelu Longqing received the news, the Song army had arrived at the Sanfu River.
Yelu Longqing went crazy, and the left-behind minister of Zhongjing in Liao went crazy.
They hurriedly ordered Zhongjing to prepare urgently, there was no way to divide the troops to rescue, it was too late, it was not too late, as long as the troops were divided, I believed that countless Song troops on the other side of the river would cross the Liuzhou River and launch a fierce attack on them, and the consequences would be even worse.
At noon the next day, when the Liao Kingdom was in chaos, Cao Wei's troops came to the capital of Zhongjing.
There was no camp, and the attack was immediately launched.
Time is life, and at this time, the strength of Zhongjing in the Liao State is empty, and it is the weakest time. Once it was delayed, the Liao State sent a large army to help, not afraid that they would come to help, but afraid that after they kept the Zhongjing City, they would flee to Lushangjing again, fleeing to the boundless northwest, which was the last thing the Song Dynasty wanted to see.
After all, the Liao State now has a high prestige in the north, and once they are allowed to gather all the clans, there is not much danger to defend in the Shangjing and Zhongjing regions of the Liao State, so the war in the north continues. Fatally, there is no big river to transport supplies to Shangjing, and it will be difficult to supply them on a large scale, and it will be a nightmare to fight there.
The destruction of the country was imminent, and the soldiers and civilians of Zhongjing fought tenaciously, which once caused great losses to the Song army.
However, Zhongjing City is not the original Youzhou City of the Liao State after all, although it was modeled after the Song Dynasty Bianjing was built, but the city wall is far less tall than the Youzhou City Wall. At sunset, the Song army continued to attack the city.
Yelu Pengu, the minister of the Liao State who stayed in Zhongjing, and Yang Ji, a scholar of Hanlin, led the ministers to surrender.
When the news reached the front line, Yelu Longqing really went crazy and ordered the three armies to withdraw their troops regardless of the consequences.
Cao Wei asked Lei Youzhong to lead a group of soldiers and horses to garrison Zhongjing, and he led nearly 20,000 Xianping troops to the south.
On the third day, the two armies met at the Xiaoling River and began to fight.
The morale of this Liao army basically collapsed, although they left a rear army, dragged the main force of the Song army, and they were not entangled by the main force of the Song army, but even the king was lost, what morale is there?
Cao Wei even calmly practiced the wolf pack tactics practiced in the northwest.
It is to send some of the most elite soldiers to ride the best war horses, as scouts, and constantly harass, anyway, it is still far from Zhongjing, and when the Liao army is in chaos, the army will be killed.
Then retreat, harass again, and kill again.
The Liao army was miserable and was dragged by the Song army.
Finally, the main force of the Song army caught up by the Daling River.
With the sound of artillery, the Song army's Beiwei army rushed into the Liao army camp first, and then the cavalry rushed up again. With the endless infantry then slaughtered. Cao Wei also divided the Xianping army into three and attacked the Liao army from the north.
After less than two hours of fighting, the Liao army was defeated, and many soldiers were so dizzy that they jumped into the Daling River.
At sunset, the Liao army was annihilated, Yelu Longqing was captured alive, after the war, Zhao Heng named him a rebel candidate, or to give him face, otherwise some Song Dynasty ministers proposed to make him a usurper of the country, why usurp his brother's throne and not obey the edict of the eldest brother?
The two armies rested for a day by the Daling River and continued to divide their troops, Sun Quanzhao was entangled by two Liao armies on the bank of the Liao River, and he was in danger and had to send troops to rescue. In fact, as soon as the reinforcements arrived, I heard that the new emperor of Liao had been captured again, and the army was annihilated in front of the Daling River, and the two Liao armies surrendered one after another. Before it was fought, it was lowered, and there was no point in fighting again.
However, the fastest marching Xianping army, led by Cao Wei, continued to fight against Shangjing, which was empty.
In July, Shangjing was taken.
The Song army still did not stop, such as the Jingbian City on the edge of Hulun Lake in the north, such as the Wugu Enemy Lie Army Division in Dongcheng on the bank of the Luqu River, such as the Northwest Recruitment Division in the upper reaches of the Ulugu River, and all parts of Liaodong, where the Liao army was still stationed.
However, those armies were not numerous, and even if they were numerous, they had no intention of fighting. Just be careful, and there will be no big defeats. Therefore, from the sixth day of the seventh month, the capital was obtained, and the Liao State meant that the country was destroyed.
PS: This book is almost over, a very failed book, it seems that farming and invention are not my forte. And the early grades were too poor, which led to a bad mood, so I wanted to end it early many times, so it got worse and worse. Otherwise, if it were written, the book would be very long.
The next book does not write about the farming flow and the invention flow, but only writes a YY story, some of which are based on the school, and a bit of a mythical travel novel.
The protagonist is Chai Rong's son Chai Shouxun, when he wears it, Chai Rong is about to send troops to Cangzhou, Zhao Kuangyi marries the third lady of the Fu family, and when Zhao Kuangyin picks up, he may also highlight two religious figures, Chen Tuan and Zanning.
Thank you all again, I am even more ashamed that this book has come to this point, and there are some regular readers reading it along...... (To be continued......)
