[After the start of the foreign defense war, Kou Zhun sent spies to the front line to reconnoiter the situation, and based on the analysis of the enemy's situation, he formulated a set of strategies to resist the enemy.

He pointed out: At present, the enemy has reached the east of Shenzhou and Qizhou, and our army is in Dingzhou and Weilu, and there is no garrison on the east road.

At this time, the Tianxiong army should be transferred to 10,000 cavalry, stationed in Beizhou, and sent Sun Quanzhao to command, and the enemy was killed; On the other hand, they recruit militiamen, go deep behind enemy lines, attack enemy strongholds, and report on enemy situations.

In this way, it can not only boost the military prestige, calm the people's minds, and have military deployments that can disrupt the enemy, but also form a horn with the military strongholds of Xingzhou and Numashu in order to attack and defend.

At the same time, he also made other preventive preparations, in case the enemy's cavalry went south to attack Beizhou, he should reinforce Dingzhou and attack to the northeast, so as to contain the enemy's rear and make the enemy soldiers dare not fight in depth.

Finally, Kou Zhun also emphasized that in order to boost morale and strive for greater victories, Song Zhenzong must cross the Yellow River and go to the front line in person!

Although the emperor's personal expedition was dangerous, the encouragement to the soldiers and the people was also extraordinary, which can be said to be a stroke of genius in Kou Zhun's series of deployments. 】

[On the one hand, Kou Zhun struggled against the compromisers, and on the other hand, he actively prepared for war.

He sent people to Hebei to organize and train outstanding young peasants among the peasants, and to develop the militia ranks, and stipulated: When the Hebei militia kills the enemy, the officers and troops where they belong should show their support; Those in the militia who have made meritorious contributions to the killing of the enemy are also rewarded.

Kou Zhun also sent people to carry money and materials to comfort the Hebei garrison, and handed over 300,000 taels of silver to the Hebei transit envoy to purchase military rations and enrich military funds. 】

Li Shimin affirmed Kou Zhun's all-encompassing arrangement: "Judging from Kou Zhun's arrangement, he can be regarded as a soldier and a strategist who is good at overall planning. ”

"Mobilize morale, ensure logistics, recruit and inspire soldiers. He's doing a great job! Qin Shi Huang rarely opened his mouth to praise, compared to Zhang Juzheng, it was obvious that Kou Zhun had more appetite for him.

"It's a pity that he was born in the Song Dynasty. The more outstanding the military talent, the more they will be suppressed and excluded by all kinds of suppression, or simply come to my big reckoning" Xuan Ye had already begun to make Kou Zhun's calculations.

[In October of the first year of Jingde, the Liao soldiers captured Qizhou, advanced to the southeast, passed through Beizhou, and went straight to the city of Lanzhou.

This action of the Liao army not only caused a large area of Hebei in the Song Dynasty to fall, but also the capital Bianjing was only separated by a river from the Liao army, completely exposed to the threat of the enemy.

A two-legged person can't outrun the opponent's four-legged horse, if Song Zhenzong chooses to escape, his fate will most likely be the same as Song Huizong and Song Qinzong, the difference is that only one becomes a plaything of the Khitans, and the other two become the pets of the Jurchens. 】

"Pet ???" Song Huizong almost crooked his nose, "Su Shangshen, Su Shangshen!" Don't you know that you should be impressed by the three days of Shibe?

Now there are more than 200,000 soldiers around my Bianjing, as well as hundreds of generals such as Yue Fei and Yang Zaixing!

I've worked so hard, why are you burying me! ”

Zhao Ji was very unconvinced, but the more unconvinced, the better he had to do it, so he could slap someone in the face.

[In the face of an enemy close at hand, only resolute resistance to the enemy is the only way out.

The cowardly Song Zhenzong finally decided to conquer in person under the urging of Kou Zhun, but there were still many people in the court who did not have confidence in fighting the enemy.

Even Bi Shi'an, the prime minister at the time, was reluctant to accompany the northern expedition under the pretext that he was sick and Tai Baixing appeared ominously to the minister during the day, and criticized Kou Zhun, disgusted him for instigating Zhenzong's personal expedition, and put the emperor in danger.

Of course, Kou Zhun did not compromise, and Song Zhenzong also maintained his determination to go north with Kou Zhun's support. 】

[Under the supervision and urging of Kou Zhun, Song Zhenzong reluctantly let King Yong stay in Beijing, and he drove north.

As the car drove slowly to Weicheng, the news of the approaching Liao army flew from the front like snowflakes.

Some people in the ministers began to persuade Zhenzong to go to Jinling to avoid the enemy, so Zhenzong's determination began to waver again. 】

[Ran Kou Zhun knows the military and the people's hearts, as well as the military law of "winning by power".

He reminded Zhenzong that in the case of the great enemy pressing the realm and the crisis in all directions, he could only advance and not retreat.

Kou Zhun also made it clear to Song Zhenzong: If you advance, your morale will increase, and if you retreat, everyone will collapse!

This is not a trivial statement, and it also made Song Zhenzong realize the seriousness of the problem again.

Kou Zhun's words, coupled with the support of Gao Qiong and others, Song Zhenzong finally continued to travel north until he reached Lanzhou. 】

"That's right! If you take half a step back at this time, it may become the beginning of a rout! ”

"Yo, is the Tanyuan Alliance about to be born?"

After the Song Dynasty, the people in the parallel space began to discuss,

"In other words, if you win the war and sign an unequal treaty, shouldn't this be a naked shameful treaty? Why do some people still think that this is a merit??? ”

"I don't know much either, but I always think that I Han people should not be cowards who grovel and compromise, but should work hard to strengthen the country and the people, and embark on their own road to prosperity!"

"The enemy's demands are excessive, and servile behavior can only bring temporary peace, and will eventually lead to annihilation!!"

[During the Northern Song Dynasty, the Yellow River still flowed through Lanzhou and divided the city into two.

At that time, the Liao army had arrived near the northern city, and Zhenzong did not dare to cross the river, but only preferred to be stationed in the southern city.

Kou Zhun asked to cross the river, but Zhenzong hesitated.

Seeing this, Kou Zhun said to Gao Qiong: "Taiwei has received great grace from the country, do you plan to answer today?"

Gao Qiong replied: "I am a soldier, and I am willing to die for my country." ”

So Kou Zhun discussed with Gao Qiong, and then went to see Zhenzong together, and said to Zhenzong: "If Your Majesty thinks that what I just said is not trustworthy, you can ask Gao Qiong." ”

As a result, without waiting for Zhenzong to speak, Gao Qiong said: "Kou Zhun's words are not unreasonable, the parents and wives of the soldiers who accompanied the army are in Beijing, and they will not intend to abandon the old and young in the family and flee to Jiangnan alone with you." ”

Then, Gao Qiong asked Zhenzong to immediately leave to cross the river, and Feng Zheng, a member of the Privy Council, scolded Gao Qiong for being reckless to Zhenzong.

Gao Qiong angrily refuted: "You Feng Zhengguan became the minister of the two governments, but only because you can write articles!"

Now that the enemy soldiers are provoking me, I persuade the emperor to go on a campaign, but you reproach me for being rude, you have the ability, why don't you write a poem to make the enemy retreat? ”

Feng Zheng's face was red when he was scolded, and he dared not speak out in anger.

He is very good at writing articles, but he can use articles to retreat from the enemy, and he asks himself if he has that ability. 】

If you don't have the ability, then shrink up.

After that, Gao Qiong ordered the guards to turn Zhenzong's chariot to the north city, and when crossing the pontoon bridge, Gao Qiong was simply driving the guards forward. 】

[When the Yellow Dragon Banner of Song Zhenzong appeared on the tower of the North City of Lanzhou, the soldiers and civilians of the Northern Song Dynasty under the city immediately thundered with joy, and the momentum was a hundred times greater! This time at least a few buffs were added to everyone. 】

[In fact, after Song Zhenzong arrived in the north city of Lanzhou, he only made a symbolic inspection, and then quickly returned to the palace in the south city, leaving only Kou Zhun in the north city to be responsible for commanding the battle.

But he was originally a mascot, a humanoid buff machine, and a tool man, so when he finished his appearance, he was still not there after that, in fact, the impact was not too big, as long as he didn't run away]

[However, Song Zhenzong was a little uncertain about whether Kou Zhun could deal with the Khitans, and he sent people to visit Kou Zhun several times, but Kou Zhun and Yang Yi were drinking and playing chess on the city tower, very calm.

Kou Zhun's confident and calm appearance also infected Song Zhenzong, so that Song Zhenzong finally stopped panicking, but waited for the development of the situation with peace of mind. 】
