Everyone didn't dare to come out, for fear that the next unlucky person would be themselves.

Yelu Zong was really wheezing, and all the anxiety was vented at the moment, but he felt a little empty, which made people want to move unconsciously.

"Go down and prepare, this time you can only win, not lose!"

He took the long knife and threw it to the guards, and if he continued to get it, the courtiers would all be in danger, and they would not be able to join forces to kill him.

This is Da Liao, the emperor is only a king in their eyes, but not a god.

If the king threatens his own life, they are far from having the integrity of those literati in the Central Plains.

The smell of blood in the tent is too strong, and I can't live tonight.

Yelu Zongzhen left a few soldiers to clean up, and came out to wander around the camp by himself, surrounded by Xiao Mingjing, the privy envoy from the north and south, who followed him step by step.

"Over the years, Da Liao has learned many things in the Central Plains, and I am proud of it, but until now, I know that we have only learned the surface, and have not learned the essence."

Yelu Zongzhen's voice sounded very relaxed, very weirdly relaxed, as if it was the final moment of release, which made people feel a kind of false relief.

"We have learned poetry and articles, those classics, and the stinky problems of those literati, but we have not learned the things in our bones."

Yeluzong really smiled bitterly.

Xiao Mingjing looked at the young emperor, but he didn't dare to show a little contempt, he asked puzzledly: "Your Majesty, do we still have anything that we haven't learned?" ”

"A lot."

Tonight's Yelu Sect is really very relaxed, which makes people feel that it is better to kill someone for him every day, just like Zhao Zhen has to find someone to massage every time he has a headache.

Everyone is trying to relieve the nerves, but in different ways.

"We have only learned many things of the Song people, but we can't learn the most important things of theirs...... For example, it is said that the brother is on the wall, and the outside is insulted. We all know this, but the crisis in Daliao is like this, and most people are making their own small calculations. ”

"Your Majesty, the same is true for the Song people."

Xiao Mingjing felt that this was too much, so he was unconvinced: "The Song people lost back then, and there were endless internal battles, and they even had a party struggle a while ago. ”

"But they have Lu Yijian, Fan Zhongyan, Pang Ji, Yan Shu, and ...... Qin Wei. ”

The left and right privy envoys were all his confidants, so Yelu Zongzhen could really say something from his heart, looking at the beacon fire in the distance, he sighed deeply.

"Even if there are many internal contradictions among the Song people, there are still these people who are struggling for the Song people."

"Whether it is the Xiongnu or the Turks, why did they collapse after being defeated by the Han Chinese?"

It was a little cold in the middle of the night, but Yelu Zong really felt that his thinking was very clear, and it was not good to be sober.

"But the Han people are different, you go to see the Han and Tang Dynasties, the former Han Dynasty was destroyed, and the Jin Dynasty came, the Han people at that time were military rations, two-legged sheep, and they should be completely destroyed, right? No, they got up again. ”

Yelu Zongzhen stepped on the grass, felt a chill rise from the soles of his feet, and couldn't help but shiver, and said, "Look at the former Tang, it's gone, right?" Da Liao then ruled the world, but ...... But now the Song people have stood up again. Those who lie down and taste gall, hang the beams and pierce the stocks, smell the chickens and dance, and forget to sleep and eat...... These words are rooted in their blood and bones, and they will come out from time to time. But we are different, we only learn the same, and no one remembers it. ”

"They've got a lot of good stuff!"

Yelu Zongzhen sighed: "Han Xin's humiliation under his crotch is to tell them that it doesn't matter if they fail temporarily, they will be able to stand up again one day." ”

"These are the things in the bones of the Han people."

Yelu Zongzhen's words carried an ominous meaning, and he sighed: "I am not afraid of failure, nor am I afraid of being knocked down, but I am afraid that if I fall, I will never be able to get up again." ”

"Your Majesty, what our ancestors have passed down is riding and shooting!"

Ye Luliang felt that this was a good trend, and sneered: "The minister has long been dissatisfied that those people in the court and the middle of the court are learning from the Song people, and the minister thinks that what he should learn is riding and shooting!" ”

Yelu Zongzhen turned around and glanced at him, shook his head slightly, and said, "You don't understand, force can only take the country, but it can't sit on the country...... I've just understood! ”

This is a national-level reflection that Yeluliang can't see or think of.

"Han Chinese...... Set off early tomorrow morning, and there must be a result in this battle. ”

Yelu Zongzhen sighed in a low voice, and the army set off again.

"Don't spread the news about Datong Mansion for the time being, so as not to turmoil in the army's heart and block the news."

Yelu Zongzhen chose to block the news, so as not to lose morale after the soldiers learned of the loss of Xijing Road, and the scouts kept coming in with the news.

"Your Majesty, the Song army is coming to Zunhua."

Yeluzong really laughed heartily, and said in high spirits: "Zhao Zhen came just in time, in this battle, I will let him go and never return!" ”

"Your Majesty, the minister is willing to be the striker."

Someone asked for battle, Yelu Zongzhen shook his head and said: "The battle of hundreds of thousands of people is all about momentum, what kind of striker you want, just crush the past,"

"Send out rangers to tease the Song people."

At this time, the rangers were only a tool used to hit the morale of the other party, and the two sides were constantly approaching, the rangers were fighting, bows and arrows were against crossbow arrows, and the Liao army suffered a big loss.

"Their kind of bow and crossbow...... We still can't get it. ”

Yeluzong was very sorry when he got the news, he knew too well what it meant for a high-tech weapon to appear on the battlefield, which in itself was an unfair confrontation.

"Your Majesty, the Song army's rangers have increased."

This news made Yelu Zongzhen excited, and said: "It's going to start, let all the departments prepare, the big war is about to begin!" ”

"Send more ranger scouts."

"Be cautious on the left and right flanks, and don't miss the enemy."

After a series of orders were issued, the Song army began to prepare, and Zhao Zhen was in the Chinese army, surrounded by Zhang Shixun and Pang Ji, as well as a group of generals.

"Your Majesty, the Duke of Pingyang and Qiu Dianshuai still have more than a hundred miles to lead the army."

This is the latest news, and the information of the scout was delivered to Zhao Zhen in a timely manner, no matter how big or small!

Zhao Zhen was also roughly prepared in his heart, and nodded and said, "Then it's three days, so it's fine." ”

Everyone was puzzled, Zhang Shixun said: "Let's fight with the Liao army first, and when they come, it will be reinforcements...... The Liao army claimed to be 500,000, and the ministers estimated that there should be 200,000 or 300,000. ”

Pang Ji was pondering the truth of Yelu Zongzhen.

"The scouts are constantly searching for news, but the Liao army is huge, and I can't calculate it clearly."

Hundreds of thousands of horses, scouts have to run around if they want to count them clearly, but this kind of behavior is to send them to death, so the Great Song Dynasty is only judging by the news that the Liao army claims to be 500,000 troops.

"Your Majesty, Wuxue said there is news."

"Let them come."

This is Zunhua City, and Zhao Zhen is in front of the map.

Since the establishment of the martial arts school by Guozijian, Qin Wei can be said to have spent all his efforts to cultivate those students as the future generals of the Great Song Dynasty.

A student walked in, saluted, and said, "Your Majesty, I have studied the size of the Liao army in the past few days, and determined that the Liao army should have about 300,000 people. ”

Zhang Shixun asked: "Why is there such an inference, and what is the basis?" ”

The people of the Privy Council have been secretly fighting with the students of martial arts these days.

One side is the official formal department, and the other side is a rookie student who applies what he has learned, and the two sides analyze and judge the news sent by all parties, and then send it to Zhao Zhen.

The student saluted without humility or arrogance, and said: "Judging from the grain and grass transportation of the Liao army, the number of grain and grass they transport from Zhongjing every day is enough for the use of 400,000 troops. ”

"Since there are more than 400,000 baggage, why not 400,000 troops?"

The judgment of the Privy Council is more than 350,000, which is roughly the same number as the data of martial arts.

The student said seriously: "The secret spy said that the Liao army has 400,000 troops in Zhongjing City, but if there are 350,000 troops, then only relying on 50,000 left-behind troops, Zhongjing Dao will be a little dangerous. ”

"Why is it dangerous?"

Zhang Shixun asked seemingly calmly.

"The divination blockers in Shangjing Province are still far away from Zhongjing Province, even if they want to raid, they must first exterminate the Liao army in Shangjing Province."

This was a general's analysis, and everyone thought it made sense at the time.

One is a military boss and the other is a military general, this combination seems to be very powerful, giving people an absolute authority, which makes people dare not refute.

But the student said very calmly: "It's not just a matter of going to Jingdao, Yelu Sect is really young and impulsive, and he doesn't have much energy, and he is good at suspicion, I have pondered his words and deeds over the years, and summarized some ......."

The ministers were a little confused.

"In the five years since Yelu Zongzhen succeeded to the throne, the number of courtiers in the court has not only not risen, but has been somewhat flattened...... In the past few years, the struggle between the Liao Emperor and the Empress has made the Liao State from the middle to the upper level, and it has been purging upward...... After the Empress Dowager Xiao gave up power, the ministers and others studied these things, and finally understood why the Empress Dowager Xiao wanted to hand over the power, because Yelu Zongzhen had cleaned up a large number of officials in order to seize power over the years. Therefore, for the sake of national stability, Empress Dowager Xiao had no choice but to let go of power, but Yelu Zongzhen did not stop because of this......"

The student smiled and said, "So the ministers judged that Empress Dowager Xiao and Yelu Zongzhen were only kind on the surface, but in fact, the two were still jealous of each other. ”

"The court has known about this matter a long time ago, and those people in the Imperial City Division are very detailed, more accurate than you guessed, and the news is more intensive."

Zhang Shixun shook his head, feeling that this analysis was not nutritious, and this kind of thing was known to everyone.

"What Zhang Xianggong said is, but I found a message some time ago."

The student said softly: "Just three months ago, someone in the royal family complained about the Empress Dowager Xiao Bodhisattva, and then three people were killed by Yelu Zongzhen, and then the Empress Dowager Xiao forcibly suppressed the matter, but there were many people in the court who broke the complaint. ”

The young emperor always smelled too much blood, and always felt that force could solve everything.

Sometimes, however, killing people is not convincing, but can lead to rebellion, and even chills to those who were originally loyal.

Some people died, but not completely......
