Xihe Road, Xizhou.

Above the city, the banner was broken, the gatehouse collapsed, and the corpse lay on the ground, and the blood was black.

Yao Pingzhong panted, slammed the golden wedge in his hand, frowned and said loudly: "Aren't these Western Xia soldiers crazy?" Don't attack the city like this, even if you take the city, you will suffer heavy losses, what is the plan? ”

Bai Ao next to him also looked puzzled: "I look a little anxious, I haven't looked like this a few days ago, could it be that I got some military order?" ”

"Military orders?" Yao Pingzhong's eyes looked in the northwest direction: "Could it be that a major event happened in Western Xia that ordered these expeditionary soldiers and horses to desperately take Xizhou?" ”

Bai Ao's expression changed when he heard this: "Western Xia is ...... Mo is the son of a great merit? ”

Yao Pingzhong nodded vigorously: "Yes, yes, it must be the prince's side that has won successive victories and shaken the Western Xia army, and this side was forced to hurry up to Xizhou, and then decide to advance and retreat." ”

Bai Ao pondered: "What kind of great achievement will Gongzi build, and even force Western Xia to change the military orders ahead?" ”

Yao Pingzhong looked at the headless company camp in the distance outside the city, as well as the Western Xia soldiers who were preparing for battle and were about to attack the city again, and sneered: "I'm afraid that it is about to hit the Xingqing Mansion, the old nest of these summer dogs, that they are so panicked, and they want to hurry up to the Xihe River, and then decide to stay for help." ”

"Are you really going to hit Xingqing Mansion?" Bai Ao was in a trance when he heard this, Xingqing Mansion Xingzhou is the capital of Western Xia, if he hits there, doesn't it mean that Western Xia will destroy the country? And if the Western Xia can be destroyed, the Jingda Song Dynasty has not been accomplished for a hundred years, this achievement is probably not weaker than the recovery of Yanyun, right?

Even, from some points of view, the effort to destroy Western Xia is even stronger than recovering Yanyun!

After all, this is a national war, it is a separate national war, taking the merit of the other party's whole land, not like attacking Liao, but uniting with the Jurchens, in fact, to put it bluntly, the Jurchens are the main force, not to mention that after the death of Liao, only Yanyun is taken, and other places are in accordance with the covenant, but they cannot interfere.

This makes the merit three points weaker.

"Brother Yao, if that's the case, what should we do now?" Bai Ao was excited in his heart and hurriedly asked.

Yao Pingzhong picked up the golden hammer, waved it outside the city, and said with a flickering eye: "Xia Gou is crazy, intending to break the cauldron and sink the boat, like this, Xizhou City will be broken sooner or later, in my opinion, it is better to break it early than to break it late, there is no need to consume it with the other party, it is better to make another plan!" ”

"How do you plan otherwise?" Bai Ao stepped forward and whispered.

Yao Pingzhong looked around, put his hands to his mouth, and lowered his voice: "I see...... Since the opponent's strength is not enough to besiege the city and trap it, it is just a strong attack, so go back and pack up in a while, and lead the troops to break through directly at night! ”

"Huh?!" Bai Ao was stunned when he heard this, but he didn't expect Yao Pingzhong, who had thick eyebrows and big eyes, and was born burly, to run away......

Northern Liao, Nanjing Xijin Mansion, Liao State Companion Capital.

It is called Youzhou, also known as Yanjing, and now it is called Nanjing.

It is the head of the sixteen states of Yanyun, the so-called hometown of the back mountain, the old land of Shenzhou, all of which are generally referred to around its center.

Liao is built by the Khitan, the Khitan nomado, living in water and grass, good at riding and shooting, good fishing and hunting, after the Tang Dynasty Qingtai three years, the town guards Taiyuan Hedong Jiedu made Shi Jingjiao borrow troops from the Khitan, defeated the Tang army, next, Shi Jingjiao will be Youzhou under the jurisdiction of the new, Wu, Yun, Ying, Shuozhou ceded to Liao, plus the other states occupied by the Khitan before, "Youyun Sixteen Prefectures" have since been occupied by Liao.

Liao will be ten years, Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang will Youzhou as "Nanjing Youdu Mansion", Liao Kaitai ten years, Liao Shengzong Yelu Longxu, the Youdu Mansion has been expanded, changed "Nanjing Youdu Mansion" to "Xijin Mansion", the name of the Xijin Mansion comes from the "Yan Fenye Luyin for the analysis of the wood of the Jin" of the stars and the earth, so it is thought that Yanjing, until now.

Yanjing is the accompanying capital, which is the reason why Liao implements the national policy of "governing according to customs", and is influenced by the Tang Duojing system, which divides five capitals and five provinces to plan the country.

Among them, Shangjing Road, governing Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, which is also the capital of the Liao Dynasty.

Zhongjing Road, governing Zhongjing Dading Mansion.

Tokyo Road, governing Tokyo Liaoyang Prefecture

Nanjing Road, governing Nanjing Xijin Mansion.

Xijing Road, governing Xijing Datong Mansion.

According to the five capitals, Liao divided the Han and Khitans, established two courts in the north and south, and had a two-sided official system, but these are not actually the real capital of Liao, and the real capital should be the Liao Emperor's "four o'clock bowl", spring water, autumn mountain, winter, and summer camp tent.

Among the five capitals of Liao, the most lively is Nanjing, because the original Han land, there are more Han people, and the border trade is close, the border trade field is prosperous, it is the center of the commercial trade of the whole Liao country, it is widely prosperous, the most money, and the population is also prosperous.

Even if Liaojin started a war a few years ago, Yanjing was still unaffected, after all, it was far away from the battlefield, and it also attracted large nobles and rich people from several capitals in the north to come one after another, buy houses and land in Yanjing, even if they don't settle down, they must leave a way to retreat, and retreat here when the war is bad in the future.

But this year is different, when the Jurchens came from the east at first, the north fled to the south, Yanjing was indeed very lively, overcrowded, and prices soared, but then, the Great Song Dynasty suddenly raised troops from the south to kill, and Yanjing immediately became in chaos.

Although the Song army was extremely slow to advance, the wealthy clans and giant merchants who had originally hid in Yanjing couldn't wait to leave Yanjing again.

At this moment, the northern and eastern territories of Liao have all been lost, even Shangjing has been lost, and Zhongjing has just been occupied by the Jin people, and these people have only one way to the west after leaving Yanjing.

At this time, Yanjing was actually in charge of Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan.

After the Jin soldiers conquered Zhongjing, Emperor Tianzuo fled westward, and after Zhan transferred to Jiashan, there was no news.

In order to calm people's hearts, Yelu Dashi and the prime minister Zhang Lin, Li Chuwen, and Xiao Gan discussed and established Yeluchun, the king of Qin and Jin, to ascend the throne and call Tianxi Emperor, but the main military power was held by Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan.

The two of them didn't stop the people who fled from Yanjing too much, but they could go, they couldn't take all their belongings with them, half of the gold and silver belongings were left, and the food could only be brought for half a month, and nothing else could be taken away, otherwise they were not allowed to leave.

But even so, during the period when the Song army went north, the big families in Yanjing City also fled, leaving a lot of property behind, and countless grains and grasses, which made this city very refined.

The pace of the Song army's offensive was not fast, Baigou and other places fought several times, won several states in hard and bloody battles, and began to advance towards Yanjing little by little.

This is a little different from the original historical development, after all, the Maritime Alliance was dragged back by Zhao Ta for a year or two, and the Western Army was not the original tired division, and the epidemic contracted by Yu Bangyuantong during the expedition to Fangla in the army was also cured, so the combat power exerted was still normal and stable.

Therefore, even if the battles are frequent and the march is difficult, it is still about to reach the side of Yanjing City.

And Yanjing City has changed again during this period of time.

Emperor Yelu Chun, who was inclined to descend to the Song Dynasty, actually collapsed due to illness, and there was no direct Khitan royal family member in Yanjing City to succeed to the throne, and Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan had already controlled the overall situation of the court.

The two of them vetoed Ye Luchun's will to entrust the future affairs to the Han Li Chuwen, and deliberately concealed the will to descend to the Song Dynasty in the will.

Later, he directly supported the Yeluchun Empress Xiao Puxiannu to call the dynasty system, changed the Yuan Dexing, and then quickly eradicated Li Chuwen's faction and connected to the entire Han power.

Because of the infighting in the imperial court, the Yanjing area made people panic, rumors spread, and the rumors were full of rumors that Li Chuwen tried to unite with Guo Yaoshi, the Changsheng army, to hold the Empress Dowager Xiao hostage and return to the Song Dynasty, and Li Chuwen had been killed at the moment, and Guo Yaoshi and others from his original line began to lie still......

At this time, the Song army was divided into three routes, led by Liu Yanqing, Chongshidao, and Xin Xingzong, and approached Yanjing from three directions.

Among them, Xin Xingzong's speed was slightly ahead, from due west, arrived ten miles away from the west city of Yanjing, and then began to send scouts to investigate, and it didn't take long to find out some details of this Yanjing.

Yanjing City is rectangular in shape as a whole, with a total of eight gates on all sides:

Its eastern part is Andong and Yingchun Gate

The west is the west of the present, the Qing Jin Gate

The south is Kaiyang and Danfengmen

The north is the gate of Tongtian and Gongchen.

And there is an inner city in its city, and the sub-city built in the southwest corner, also known as the Great Interior, also has four city gates:

The east gate is the Xuanhe Gate

The west gate is the west gate

The north gate is the sub-north gate

The south gate is the south end gate.

In addition to these, there are some other situations in Yanjing, moats and the like, whether there is a water gate, how high the city is, how many city towers, although it is not as important as it is secretive, but it is always useful.

After Xin Xingzong got this information, he wanted to try it in his heart, and he secretly wondered, if he took Yanjing before the arrival of the other two armies, wouldn't it be a great achievement?

Although Tong Guan repeatedly told him that Yanjing was important and that he could not attack rashly, he must first take down the next few states and then talk about it, and he must be safe and not make mistakes.

But he was already eager to do it at the moment, and he calculated the soldiers and horses in his hand, so he wanted to force Yanjing......

Tokyo, Kaifeng Province.

Yanfu Palace, northeast of Huamen.

Out of the Linhua Gate is Gen Yue, originally this Daojun Emperor built a large amount of earth and wood to cover the garden called Long Live Mountain, Gen Yue is the name of the later change, take the meaning of being located in the northeast corner of the palace city.

At this time, Genyue has been completely built, which lasted nearly ten years, and the main scenery in it is the use of the mountain technique, that is, the stacking of stones for the mountain.

In addition to the mountain stone, more is the strange flowers and plants, the beautiful wood that is difficult to see, the fine pavilion and the pavilion, the gilt and the strange color, the mountain and the right water, the ridge next to the back stream, continuous and full, swallowing the mountain and the valley, this big garden also raises rare birds and beasts, constructs the flying floor Jieguan, extremely luxurious, can be said to be the beauty of the world, the victory of ancient and modern Tibet.

Emperor Daojun sat on the agarwood chariot at this time, and as soon as he entered the gate of Genyue, he saw a huge stone that was more than four zhang high and eight zhang long.

Seeing this stone in the car, Emperor Daojun showed a nostalgic look on his face, and couldn't help but think of Zhu Mianlai, the strange stones, flowers, beautiful trees and other things in Genyue, all of which were offered by Zhu Mian, and were sent from the south of the Yangtze River when Zhu Mian lifted the bureau.

Emperor Daojun immediately stopped the car, stepped off the agarwood, and then sighed: "Zhu Mian is a loyal minister!" ”

He looked at this huge stone, this is the most strange stone, at that time, in order to pull it into the city, even demolished a piece of the city gate, otherwise it would be difficult to enter.

And this boulder is even more by him as "Shenyun Zhaogong Pangu Hou", on the day of pilgrimage into the city, Xuande Building downstream, the bell rings and drums, the fine music continues, the red hangs the color, the huhu tongtong, the nickel nickel Qiangqiang, a drum cymbal.

At that time, Zhu Mian knelt in front of the Xuande Building, crying and singing poems, in order to praise the ancestors, to respect the emperor, and to beautify the present.

When Emperor Daojun thought of this, he couldn't help but say again: "Zhu Mian is a loyal minister!" ”

Then he remembered that the disobedient and unfilial bastard second child was really an obstacle, such a big loyal minister was killed by this obstacle, he was really angry!

Emperor Daojun's face was a little unsightly, and he wanted to be angry, but he saw that there were no ministers on the left and right, just palace maids and eunuchs, trembling, and couldn't help suppressing his anger, and ordered someone to move the book case to the front of the Shenyun Zhaogong Pangu Marquis, and then began to paint, painting a "Sketch of the Divine Stone".

And the word sketch is already at this moment, Shen Kuo's "Dream Creek Brush Talk" once said: "Zhuhuang painted flowers, wonderful color with a very new and fine pen, no ink can be seen, but dyed with cyan, called sketching......"

Emperor Daojun's calligraphy and painting is the world's masters, especially good at flowers, plants, stones, and birds, half an hour or so, the painting is good, and then drop the brush, get up and walk around the garden.

He was still in a bad mood, always thinking about the bastard's second child, until he walked to a big flower pond in front of him, and looked at the flowers and flowers in the country, and the country was fragrant, so he stopped, and his mood was slightly soothed.

This large flower pond is full of peonies, and Luoyang peonies have always been the most famous, but any one in this pond is no less than the peonies in the Luoyang Imperial Garden.

There are several kinds of colors alone, what Wei Zi, Yao Huang, Jade Edition, Cinnabar, Merry, Gold Powder, Xueluo, Toad, Wushuangyan, First Fragrance, Parrot White, Rhododendron Red, Rouge Face, Greasy Pink Cheeks, Yang Fei Dance, Xizizi...... And each plant is hung with a famous color card, covered with an embroidered curtain, the beauty of the famous flowers, nothing more than this.

Emperor Daojun was a little happier in his heart, and asked someone to move a chair to sit down and drink, and for a while butterflies and bees flew, and the fragrance of flowers hit people, and he didn't feel a little drunk.

At this moment, suddenly Zhang Di hurriedly trotted in from outside the garden, still holding a fire paint fold in his hand, and came to the Daojun Emperor, smiled and said in a low voice: "Long live, the military intelligence war report ahead, the excerpt sent by Tong Shumi's fast horse." ”

Emperor Daojun's expression moved slightly when he heard this, he raised his wrist and took it, and opened it to see that it was Tong Guan who reported the good news in the letter, it turned out that the war against Liao was going well, and now it has swept away the southern states of Yanjing, and the sixteen states have taken down the number of eleven states, and the three-way army is all marching towards Yanjing at this moment, and it is just around the corner to take Yanjing.

Emperor Daojun was overjoyed when he saw this, so he didn't have the intention of visiting the garden to drink again, and hurriedly got on the agarwood chariot and ordered him to drive back to Yanfu Palace.

After arriving at the Yanfu Hall of Yanfu Palace, he ordered someone to summon Bai Shizhong, Li Bangyan, Tang Ke and other court ministers to start discussions.

The discussion is not on the side, but to change the name of the land of Yanyun, after several discussions, it was finally decided to call Yanshan Mansion Road, the government of Yanjing, just wait for another good news to come, and immediately announce to the world that this land of Youyan has been recovered!
