Chapter 66: The North Bureau

Let's say that whether the Tang State can tear its face with the Qian clan of Wu Yueguo at present is a major problem, and this problem will inevitably not be solved in the short term, but in any case, Xu Xuan's words do make sense, and the most unstable point of the Tang State and the Song State is Wu Yue.

According to the region, Wuping is in the west, Shu is on the border, the Southern Han and Qingyuan are in the southernmost, only Wu Yue and Tang are standing together, if Qian Hongyu can really understand the truth of the cold lips and teeth, Li Yu naturally does not mind forming an alliance with him to fight against the Song Dynasty, even if it is advantageous to attack the south and divide the land together.

It's a pity that Qian Hongyu is an out-and-out surrender faction in history, even if it is Qingyuan's moderation that when Li Yu and the Song State are contending, he can still send a letter to Tang to Li Yu to point out strategic mistakes, and know the truth that if the Tang State in the north of Qingyuan is destroyed, it will be difficult for Qingyuan to survive, and Qian Hongyu only thinks that he can live a good life after the fall of the Tang State.

Let's say that at the time of the Song State's invasion of the Northern Han Dynasty, the situation was still confusing, the Western Shu State was lying flat, the Wuping State was hating the Tang Dynasty, the Qingyuan State was trembling, the Southern Han State was wait-and-see, and the Wu Yue Kingdom was uncertain.

During the period when Li Yu's soldiers entered Jingxiang, Zhao Kuangyin was indeed not idle in the north, and the situation in the Northern Han Kingdom must be complicated with the south, which was already precarious, but Liu Jun of the Northern Han Dynasty did his best.

But it is worth noting that Li Yu founded the Tang Kingdom, and the genealogy can be seen, but it is unknown whether it is true or false. But at this time, the Northern Han Kingdom, which used the name of the Han Dynasty, was indeed a real impostor, not even a fake.

It is necessary to know that the Han Dynasty was built by Liu Bang, Liu Bang built the Han Dynasty to Emperor Wu Liu Che period, the Han Empire rode vertically and horizontally, and the hanging bell was plugged outside, there was a Han Dynasty, and it was 400 years old in China, and it was deep and virtuous. Later, the name of the Han Dynasty became the eternal name of a nation: "Han nationality!" ”

However, Liu Zhiyuan, the founder of the Later Han Dynasty, was a pure Shatuo person, after the Jin Emperor Shi Chonggui was captured by Yelu Deguang and went north, Liu Zhiyuan took the opportunity to occupy Bianliang and called the emperor, after Liu Zhiyuan's death, Liu Chengyou succeeded to the throne because of the killing of ministers, Guo Wei mutiny royal robe, Liu was driven to death, and when Zhao Kuangyin reproduced the scene of the mutiny imperial robe, Liu Chong restored the name of the Han State in Taiyuan, after Liu Chong's death, Liu Jun succeeded to the throne, trying to revive the Han Dynasty and destroy the Song State.

It must be known that Liu Jun is indeed the Ming lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, although he has been defeated many times during his reign, he has indeed kept the foundation of the Han Kingdom left to him by his father, and Zhao Kuangyin used troops against the Northern Han Dynasty at this time.

First, during the previous expedition to the Tang Dynasty, Liu Jun often jointly contacted Yelu Shulu of the Liao State in the north to carry out 20 actions, which made him move to kill, and second, at the beginning of the establishment of the Song State, the Second Li Rebellion, among which Li Jun also rebelled with the help of Liu Jun, so Liu Jun has now become a thorn in Zhao Kuangyin's side.

Fortunately, Li Jun's rebellion was not dangerous, and after Li Jun's rebellion was put down, the original Luzhou and Zezhou also returned to the territory of the Song Kingdom. This also made it advantageous for the Song State to occupy a favorable position for the Northern Han Dynasty.

"Liu Jun'er, I don't know that there are people in my big Song Dynasty, otherwise I wouldn't be so rampant!"

At this time, in the land of Qinzhou in the south of the Northern Han Dynasty, Zhao Guangyi led the troops to kill and killed more than 1,000 defenders of Qinzhou in the Northern Han Dynasty.

It must be known that Zhao Guangyi has bright eyes, eyebrows divided into eight characters, and a body of nine feet like silver. Majestic-looking. In fact, in terms of appearance, Zhao Guangyi is better than his brother Zhao Kuangyin.

And there is a saying in the history of the Song Dynasty that before Zhao Guangyi was born, Zhao Guangyi's mother dreamed that the gods held the sun to grant her, so that she was pregnant, until the night of Zhao Guangyi's birth, the red light rose like fire, and the streets and alleys were full of strange fragrances, and Zhao Guangyi also had another name: "fragrant child"

"Liu Jun's talent should not be underestimated, he knew that he was not Cao Bin's opponent, and in turn he went south to harass Jinzhou and Luzhou!" Zhao Guangyi had just derogated Liu Jun, and Li Jixun hurriedly reminded him on the side, worried that Zhao Guangyi was arrogant.

In the face of Zhao Kuangyin's offensive, Liu Jun did show the courage of a monarch, and still dared to take the initiative to use troops in Jinzhou and Luzhou in the south and east of the country, but unfortunately they were all repelled by Li Jixun's army.

"King Jin, right now Liu Jun is stationed in Fenyang, in case we go north from Fenyang to take Jinyang, the capital of the Han Kingdom, it is better to let me lead the troops from Liaozhou and wait for the opportunity to besiege Taiyuan!" Li Jixun said to Zhao Guangyi.

"Liaozhou? Cannot... In the land of Liaozhou, there are reinforcements from Yelu Shulu, if Liaozhou is defeated, then the victory of Qinzhou is meaningless! ”

Moreover, the combined forces of the Liao State and the Han State originally occupied Luzhou all the way, and then marched into Zezhou, and waited for the opportunity to go south in Bagongyuan in the north of Zezhou, but the Song State suddenly withdrew troops from the Southern Tang State, and transferred troops from Jingdong Road all the way back to attack, and once again retreated the Han-Liao coalition army to Qinzhou, and after Zhao Kuangyin sent his good brother Li Jixun to besiege Qinzhou, the Han State was gradually defeated and continued to go north to defend Fenyang, and the Liao army was stationed in the southeast of the Han State, in case the Song State took Liaozhou as a breakthrough point and went north to take Taiyuan Mansion in one fell swoop.

The war is going on here, it is necessary to affirm Zhao Kuangyin's military command ability, and Zhao Kuangyin did defeat the invincible Liao army in the north many times through his military command during his reign, of course, it may also be related to the Liao lord Yelu Shulu at this time drunk and killed his close ministers indiscriminately.

Even Li Yu, who is now developing obscenely in the Southern Tang Dynasty, has no doubt that Zhao Kuangyin has the ability to win the Northern Han Dynasty, and Yelu Shulu is indeed politically clear in the early stage, but at this time, his mind has become increasingly unclear because of alcoholism, so he is mostly powerless about the affairs of the Han Kingdom.

In the chaotic situation at that time, Zhao Kuangyin still had the ability to defeat the Northern Han many times is enough to show the terrible and respectable of this person, and from another point of view, at this time the Song State was actually still somewhat passive towards the Liao Han, and the Liao State moved the capital south to Nanjing, which was not Nanjing in the modern sense at this time, but Youzhou, which was ceded to the Liao State by Shi Jingjiao.

After the Liao State took Youzhou as Nanjing, it focused on deepening its control over the Han people and Han land, and also occupied a geographical advantage in the war against the Han people, so in this case, Zhao Kuangyin was able to use the tactics of dividing troops to defeat the army in the south of the Han State on the one hand, and on the other hand, he could defeat the reinforcements sent by Yelu Shulu in the north.

"King Jin rest assured, if Liaozhou finds reinforcements sent by Yelu Shulu, I can drag it down, and then the King of Jin will go north from Qinzhou and go around to the rear of Liaozhou, and you and I will divide the troops before and after the attack, then the Liao army will die!" I will take advantage of the situation to bypass Fenyang from Liaozhou and go straight to the Handu Taiyuan Mansion! Then, great things can be done! The merit of destroying the Han Kingdom should also be attributed to the King of Jin" Li Jixun saw that Zhao Guangyi still had no intention of fighting, and he was unwilling to persuade again.

As for the destruction of the Han State, it is indeed possible, Cao Bin has defeated the Liao reinforcements in the north, and the southern barrier of the Northern Han State is not unbreakable at this moment, once Zhao Guangyi breaks through Liaozhou first, then Liu Jun may also be in chaos in Taiyuan Mansion.

As for the merit of destroying the Han Dynasty, Cao Bin has a clear heart, and Li Jixun has a clear heart in his heart, which must be the merit that Zhao Kuangyin wants to give to his younger brother, after all, since the establishment of the Great Song Kingdom, Zhao Kuangyin has always cultivated his younger brother Zhao Guangyi as an heir.

"The matter of destroying the Han Dynasty must be done slowly! The cavalry of Yelu Hugo of the Liao State has always been fierce, and this retreat to Liaozhou is also possible to fake defeat and set up an ambush in order to prepare for the Song army to go deeper! Zhao Guangyi listened to Li Jixun's repeated advice, and with a thoughtful look, he rejected him again.

Seeing this, Li Jixun was no longer reluctant, it was possible to take Taiyuan Mansion, but it was indeed not easy, but Zhao Guangyi could give up this possibility, it must be his own considerations, after all, Zhao Guangyi is a royal family at the moment, and he does not have the absolute right to lead the troops.

And Zhao Guangyi himself also knew that it was possible for the Song army to take Taiyuan, but he was still reluctant to go north, and even wanted to lead the troops to return south, not because he was homesick, but because something big did happen, just because someone under his command told him that Zhao Kuangyin led his son Zhao Dezhao from Bianjing West to Luoyang on the second day of sending Cao Bin and Li Jixun to the north, and Zhao Kuangyin intended to move the Song capital from Bianjing to Luoyang. There is also Zhao Guangyi, who was restless day and night in Qinzhou.
