"Right or wrong, the arrow is ready to fly, and it has to be sent. Besides, I also made a promise before Li Xin's arrival, and everyone will evaluate me after I send a message. ”

Just one sentence produces different sounds in everyone's ears.

Don't covet my credit, after the matter is over, I will completely leave the officialdom to avoid suspicion!

Don't be jealous of my seat, which will soon be vacated for you.

But this is also the general righteousness.

is definitely not convinced, including Kou Zhun and Wang Qinruo, such a big thing, as the prime minister, he is covered in the valley, making himself perform like a little monkey.

Of course, many excuses can be found, such as the cruelty that Song Jiu said, such as the fact that the prime ministers of the two prefectures except for Zhang Qixian have no one who knows the Tao and does not conform to the system.

But everyone has said it, whether it is a great achievement or not, they will withdraw from officialdom, what else!

However, the last one still adopted part of Kou Zhun's opinion, the Tianxiong Army was stationed in the Daimyo Mansion, and Sun Quanzhao's troops could not be drawn to Yibei Erzhou, and they could not move. Originally, Sun Quanzhao had few troops in his hands, but once it was withdrawn, the Liao army went south to the Daimyo's mansion, and a disaster could be imagined.

At this time, the city of the Daimyo Mansion not only housed many ordinary people, but also countless civilian and military materials, including grain, grass, weapons, armor, and so on.

But Yingzhou also had to be saved, so he sent part of his troops from Beiyi Erzhou to Yingzhou, and asked Shi Pu of Mozhou to support Yingzhou with a small number of troops.

Yingzhou can't be lost, once it is lost, this pocket can't be tied up.

However, Song Jiu of Yibei Erzhou did not mention it, and the meaning was clear, and if he could hold it, he would keep it. If you can't hold the two states, you will also become a victim.

After a series of orders were issued, Song Jiu's fingers trembled slightly.

Ci is not in charge of the army.

The Liao State desperately attacked the city of Yingzhou.

Actually, the reason is very simple. To the east of Xiongzhou on the Hebei front line is the eastern part of Bazhou and Cangzhou, where there are many swamps and lakes. Later, in response to Yang Liulang's strategy, countless lakes were dug up, and there was also a water army.

This road is not working.

To the west of Baozhou is the Taihang Mountain, the West Mountain in the mouth of the Song people, and the terrain here is not suitable for the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry to fight, and the Flying Fox Pass has been lost again.

In fact, the only invasion route of the Liao State was from the mouth of the Great Wall in the west, Baozhou and Mancheng, the Suicheng of the Broken Army, and the Heilu Embankment on the west side of Xiongzhou. This narrow plain strip less than two hundred miles wide invaded.

But this paragraph is also a bit sad for the Song Dynasty.

It may be said that the Great Wall was built, but this Great Wall is not the ancient Great Wall in the north, and the Great Wall is built according to the lofty mountains, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. The construction of the Great Wall here can be done with the financial resources of the Song Dynasty, but how many troops do you have to use to defend the nearly 200-mile-long city wall? Don't talk about the thickness, just use one person to stand in a row. If you want to stand on the 200-mile-long city wall, you need at least 100,000 troops. In addition, there are Yishui and Juma rivers to the north. Don't do much, dig embankments during the flood season, and often give this Great Wall a bubble bath. After a few bubbles, the Great Wall collapsed at an unknown cost.

But now the Liao State is also a little bad, from the mouth of the Great Wall to Baozhou and then to the Broken Army. Several heavy generals are fiercer than the other.

Therefore, it is very important to tear up Yingzhou, once Yingzhou is captured. The entire northern defense line has become a weak place, and the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry can advance or retreat.

So Xiao Yanyan and Yelu Longxu personally beat the drums and cheered. Attack Yingzhou City day and night.

After the war, it is said that hundreds of arrows were inserted into the wooden planks of a few inches to block arrows on the city wall, and more than 400,000 arrows were picked up in the moats alone.

A fierce battle begins.

Fortunately, the Beiyi army rushed in time and entered the city before the main force of the Liao State arrived, and Zhao Yanwu of Zhizhou brought all the soldiers in the city, including the township soldiers who took the people into the city to take refuge, and the box soldiers in the city, gathered together and launched reinforcements with the encounter in Qizhou City.

The city is here, your family is there, and if the city is broken, we will be slaughtered by the Liao, and your family may also be slaughtered.

A few words boosted the morale of the three armed forces.

Then let the set patrol Shi Pu take the soldiers to defend.

The Liao army desperately attacked the city, and smashed down the city with huge stones and huge trees prepared in advance, and even demolished the houses and smashed them down with wood.

Ascending to the top of the city, Shi Pu took the generals to remedy where there was danger, and knocked the Liao army down from the city again and again.

After more than ten days of onslaught, Xiao Yanyan was dumbfounded.

The city of Yingzhou was precarious, and in fact, Yingzhou was in danger from the beginning of the attack, but at the cost of these ten days, more than 30,000 Liao soldiers died under this city wall, and the wounded almost reached 60,000.

If you can't fight any longer, if you continue to fight, you will capture Yingzhou, and the 300,000 Liao army will also lose half of its soldiers and horses.

So he quickly withdrew, preserved his strength, and pounced on the Daimyo's Mansion.

Then the arrogant Xiao Yanyan did one thing for the first time, please and.

Zhao Heng received a letter from a person in the capital, Wang Jizhong. Because of the role of scouts, Zhao Heng did not make the oolong that he thought Wang Jizhong was killed in battle. After Xiao Yanyan caught Wang Jizhong, she treated her very kindly, added officials, and gave a good-looking and well-born woman in the Khitan tribe as her wife, in this case there are three choices, one is to be as heroic as Yang Ye and Wen Tianxiang, and never give in. However, there are very few people who can do this, so they can be admired by future generations and called great beings. Secondly, like Zhang Yuanhong Chengchou and Wang Jingwei, he immediately succumbed, and then, for the sake of loyalty, led the Yi people to frantically massacre his fellow people. Yes, there are quite a few. Including most of Guo Jing's master, Qiu Chuji, is also this kind of person, although he did not directly aim his butcher knife at his compatriots, but when Yuanmeng attacked Khorezm, Qiu Chuji saw Genghis Khan and said, I follow the principles of heaven, and the angels dare not disobey. I don't mean him himself, but our side, that is, Yuan Meng, vaguely means that the Southern Song Dynasty is no longer good, and it is the principle of heaven for Mongolia to take the world. Therefore, Yuan Meng gradually shifted his attention from West Asia to the Central Plains. Why do you do this, missionary?

There is another type of people, such as Zhou Zuoren and Wang Wei, whose integrity is valuable, and the price of life is higher, Wang Jizhong is helpless, his life is precious, and Xiao Yanyan is good to him, so he surrendered. I believe that this is the choice of most people, but the essential difference between him and Zhang Yuan and others is that although he surrendered to the Liao State, he will not take the lead in leading the Liao State to the Song Dynasty and harming the people of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, he repeatedly proposed that Xiao Yanyan reconcile with the Song Dynasty.

After getting some news from him. Zhao Heng was not a cruel lord in the first place, and he would not do what Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty did to Li Ling's family. Moreover, Wang Jizhong is considered to be the old man of his domain, and he also gave several of his sons as officials.

Wang Jizhong first took the initiative to admit his defeat in the battle of Wangdu in the letter. did not blame Zhou Ying, nor did he blame Wang Chao, and then explained the meaning of peace, and said that Xiao Yanyan and the emperor of Liao Kingdom wanted to negotiate peace for the sake of the people of the two countries.

The letter divided the Song ministers.

The reason is very simple, whether it is Li Jilong and his subordinates in the south, or Lei Youzhong and their subordinates in the middle, they are still on the way.

And when they arrive, they can't go into battle yet. After all, some have walked more than 1,000 miles, while others have walked more than 2,000 miles, and they must rest for a period of time after arriving before they can regain their combat effectiveness.

However, the entire north was covered with hundreds of thousands of Liaoguo iron cavalry, and the news of the Hebei border was completely lost, and even the news of the fall of Yingbeiyi and other prefectures came.

It's not bad to be peaceful.

There are still not many people who know the truth of the Dao, and last time Song Jiu was forced to tell the truth in the political hall, but there were only about 20 officials who could discuss in the political hall. They are all the top ministers of the Song Dynasty, no matter how much resentment or support they have for Song Jiu's move, they dare not divulge such a big matter. At least for now, these ministers have not disregarded the country in order to fight their political opponents.

Therefore, the other ministers did not know the truth. There are even more people who agree to make peace.

The main reason is that the news of Yingzhou's victory has not arrived.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Song Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "The Liao Kingdom is coming with great momentum. In the past, the first emperor and His Majesty had asked for peace many times and disagreed, why did they take the initiative to ask for peace when they had an advantage? ”

This is a problem.

Zhao Heng said: "Why? ”

"There are two scenarios. They were hit hard in Hebei and feared defeat. Therefore, he forced His Majesty to negotiate peace, get benefits, and withdraw his troops and return to China in time. The second possibility is to confuse us, weaken our courage, and agree to negotiate peace, then we will be unprepared, and the soldiers will not have the confidence to fight bloodily, so the soldiers will come to the Daimyo's mansion, and after taking the Daimyo's mansion, the army will arrive at the Yellow River, and it will be the coldest moment immediately, the Yellow River will be frozen, and the Liao army's iron cavalry can calmly cross the Yellow River. The country is in danger. ”

What Xiao Yanyan had in mind at that time became a mystery, but Song Jiu came up with a compromise solution: "It's best if it is to negotiate peace, but if you want to make peace, everyone must show some sincerity." If you want the ten counties of Guannan, then you must not agree, lose the ten counties of Guannan, and the Liaoguo Iron Cavalry will easily rush to the Yellow River at any time, which is undoubtedly the way to lose the country. Therefore, we cannot agree to ask for land, but if we want money, we can talk about it. ”

Zhao Heng's forehead.

Saying this, it also blocked the mouth of the Wenchen who was greedy for life and afraid of death.

However, Song Jiu sneered in his heart, if he wants peace, then negotiate peace and see who confuses whom.

Then Wang Jiying recommended Cao Yu to negotiate peace.

It was a humiliating scene, and Kou Zhun was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

But it's also the darkest time before dawn.

However, Cao took advantage of the Daimyo's mansion but let Wang Qinruo and Sun Quanzhao stop him.

The Daimyo's Mansion was also fighting bloodily, and no matter what Wang Qinruo's mentality was, this battle also made great achievements.

The Liao army persecuted the Daimyo's Mansion, and the Song Dynasty was worried and decided to send an important minister to the Daimyo's Mansion. Wang Qinruo's face turned blue with anger, but he still resolutely went to the most dangerous front line.

And he did one thing when he went to the Daimyo's Mansion, that is, he trusted Sun Quanzhao strongly.

Will be harmonious, the world will prosper. Only by being civil and military can we make a difference.

Hundreds of thousands of Liao troops were killed, and you must know that the Tianxiong army of the Daoist Daimyo Mansion is really not much, otherwise Kou Zhun would not have said that the number of troops may be less than 10,000. Then we can only follow Li Yanwu's practice in Yingzhou, gather all the township soldiers and box soldiers, and even launch Ding Zhuang as a temporary soldier to prepare for defense.

And Wang Qinruo also knows the truth of the road, don't talk about peace, and talk about peace slowly, if it is a war, it must also attract all the main forces of the Liao army to the Daimyo's Mansion, and even under the city of Lanzhou, at that time to be able to tie the pocket, which means that before this, the Daimyo's Mansion can only fight alone.

So at this time, Wang Qinruo forcibly detained Cao Yong, and immediately the Daimyo's mansion was in danger, and the soldiers were fighting desperately, did you represent the imperial court to negotiate peace, so that the soldiers still had the confidence to fight?

The Liao army is almost here.

Wang Qinruo distributed this ragtag army and assigned the city gates to be guarded by each of them. The method is very fair, probe (catch the castration).

Sun Quanzhao did not live up to his trust, and said: "I have been a general for generations, so I will not explore the talisman, you can choose the generals at will, and the remaining soldiers and city gates will be mine." ”

So Sun Quanzhao shouldered the burden of the North City Gate.

The front was distributed, and the Liao army was killed in the back.

However, when they came to the north gate, they saw a strange scene, the gate was wide open, the drawbridge was dropped, and not a single soldier was seen.

Xiao Yanyan stood strangely where she asked, who was the main general at the North City Gate.

The scout reported that it was Sun Quanzhao.

The name was all too familiar, especially since he had crossed the sea to the Yalu River, and he had his men deliberately dye the crossbow bright red, shooting countless holes in the Liao army again and again. In the eyes of the Liao people, his fame is even greater than that of Wei Neng.

After thinking about it, it was better for this person not to be confused, so he turned to attack the east gate.

The Song soldiers at the east gate were very depressed, how easy it was to fight at the north gate, just rush inside, but the Liao State didn't fight, but hit our east gate. However, after a day of bloody battles, Xiao Yanyan's eyes were full of disappointment, and it seemed that the story of Yingzhou was staged again.

So at night he changed to the old town of the Daimyo's mansion, but it was unsuccessful. However, when she got here, Xiao Yanyan chose to become more and more, so she attacked the nearby Deqing army with great fanfare, and the Deqing military city was just south of the Daimyo's mansion, not far away, and it was on the edge of the Yellow River. Once the Deqing military city is lost, the connection between the Daimyo's Mansion and the capital will also be interrupted, and it will be successfully isolated by the Liao army.

Wang Qinruo had no choice but to send the only regular forbidden army in the city, the Tianxiong Army.

However, as soon as the Tianxiong army left the city, it was surrounded by the Liao ambush soldiers.

Seeing that the Tianxiong Army might be wiped out, Sun Quanzhao said to Wang Qinruo: "If you lose the Tianxiong Army, the Daimyo Mansion will be lost in a blink of an eye. You immediately send someone to take over the North Gate. ”

After speaking, he led his men out of the city to meet the Tianxiong army.

After a bloody battle, the Tianxiong army was brought back by Sun Quanzhao, but only three or four percent of soldiers and horses remained. However, in the dark night, the Liao army ignored them, since this plan was not successful, then go all out to attack the Deqing military city. That night, the Deqing army city was broken, and the Liao State did something angry and resentful, slaughtering tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, even sparing babies.

However, while Xiao Yanyan was doing inhumane things, she asked Wang Jizhong to write a letter, our Liao State agreed to the peace conditions of your Song Dynasty, please send an envoy to discuss it as soon as possible...... Beautiful peace! (To be continued......)
