Chapter 405: Yongxi Northern Expedition

In the Temple of Manna.

For this Zhao Er's painstaking efforts to capture Taiyuan, and in the end, he lost a fine light due to quick success, Li Shimin was noncommittal.

It can only be said that even if they are all "two" generations, there is also a gap between Taizong and Taizong.

And the battle of the Sorghum River is not an accident at all, after all, he still remembers the casual poems of later generations.

The sound of killing outside Xizhi Gate was urgent...... However, the donkey cart has drifted.

The only thing that Li Shimin cares about is whether there are too many places in the Song Dynasty history.

Why my brother died can't be written, why he can't remember why he succeeded to the throne, and even this defeat needs to be protected in a nutshell.

Thinking about it again, he also explained to Chu Suiliang last month, saying that the matter of Xuanwumen should not be bent and should be remembered in detail, Li Shimin couldn't help but shake his head:

"The style of writing is prosperous, and the writer is few."

"The price of paper is cheap, and those who can write are widowed."

This is not just an opinion on the Northern Song Dynasty, but more or the identity of the lord of the Tang Dynasty, a pity for the dynasty that inherited the Tang Dynasty.

This exclamation also made the hall more silent, and Du Ruhui stepped forward and said:

"Uncle Ji died of the third brother, and his face still did not change and he wrote 'Cui Zhu killed his king'."

"The name of the straight book can see the annals of history, inherent in the integrity of the Taishi clan, and there are also historians who stick to the past and do not count death."

"Song has no two, or because he was killed."

Of course, Li Shimin understood what Du Ruhui meant.

This Song Dynasty may not lack iron-clad historians, and Zhao Er may not be as good as Cui Zhu.

On the bright side, maybe all the historians of the Song Dynasty who could write straight have been killed?

Shaking his head again, Li Shimin also felt that it was really a headache to be entangled, so he finally put it down for the time being, and sighed instead:

"This Guo Jin, it's a pity, if he can live, or this attack on Youzhou City can kill some good sons."

Fang Xuanling didn't even need to look up to make it clear that His Majesty loved talent as soon as he saw a famous general, and he would be sick.

can be literary and martial, win more with less, and die unjustly, it can be said that every point has poked His Majesty's heart.

"If this Guo Jin is under Youzhou City, the Song army may collapse faster."

Fang Xuanling shook his head and spoke out against:

"Later generations said that the internal troubles of the Song army had the matter of 'seeking to establish Dezhao', and from the point of view of the Song Dynasty's desire to establish Zhao Defang, this Zhao Dezhao is most likely the son of Song Taizu."

"It is guessed from this that Zhao Guangyi did not give a reward and ordered the Song army to attack Youzhou, and the soldiers had grievances and could not attack for a long time, so they were close to mutiny."

"If this Guo Jin is in the army, he will definitely be involved in this matter, and it may eventually cause civil strife in the Song army......"

As he spoke, Fang Xuanling shook his head again and again, the water in the Northern Song Dynasty was too deep, and he couldn't grasp it a little.

Li Shimin nodded and moved his gaze back to the light curtain, but the matter of Wang Xiaobo's uprising was faintly churning in his heart.

The long-term battle formation had already made his sense of smell extremely keen, and these three words had already made him tremble.

Later generations have more than once called "ancient" inequality that the future generations are equal.

And this is both rich and poor, which seems to be in line with the meaning of equality.

So if Wang Xiaobo is so rich and poor, what should happen next?

Almost without thinking, Li Shimin popped out three words in his heart: wait for the noble and the low.

A slight coldness ran down his back and straight to his head, and Li Shimin felt that he might understand why there was no emperor in the future.

However, the light curtain did not leave Li Shimin much time to think deeply, because the light curtain could be seen clearly, so Zhao Er was going to attack again!

[From a historical point of view, the Battle of the Gaoliang River was the closest that the Song Dynasty came to recover the sixteen states of Yanyun, and the defeat of this battle was indeed related to the national fortunes and national capital of the Northern Song Dynasty.

But for the Northern Song Dynasty at that time, although Youzhou was defeated, Zhao Er also had the credit for destroying the Northern Han Dynasty, and the impact was not so great.

And what really made the Northern Song Dynasty suffer from "Liaophobia" has to talk about the Yongxi Northern Expedition.

Three years after the Battle of the Gaoliang River, Liao Jingzong fell ill and died, and was succeeded by the ten-year-old Liao Shengzong.

His biological mother, Xiao Xuan, was honored as the queen mother and was called the emperor in the dynasty.

Han Derang and Yelu became ministers of Gu Ming and assisted in the government.

In this case, the Xiongzhou Zhizhou of the Northern Song Dynasty said that the Khitan is now the master of Shaoguo, and the mother of the country has an improper relationship with Han Derang, and the Khitan scolding is waiting for the king!

This letter can be said to have scratched Zhao Er's itch, and the big fool was so happy that he immediately began to plan the Northern Expedition.

In fact, in the timing of the Yongxi Northern Expedition, the Northern Song Dynasty made empirical mistakes.

He Lingtu felt that the Queen Mother was pro-government, and it must be that there was an improper power transaction between the Sex Entertainment and the Minister who cared for his life.

But in fact, Empress Dowager Xiao was really a very rare female politician in ancient times.

Less than two years after the death of Liao Jingzong, the Empress Dowager Xiao basically settled the hidden dangers in the country, and the two ministers were allowed to drive, and even Yelu Huge, who could not catch up with the donkey cart in the Gaoliang River, also publicly expressed his support for the Empress Dowager Xiao.

And even if you take a step back, even if Empress Dowager Xiao really has an improper relationship with Han Derang, it is not a matter at all according to Khitan customs, let alone scolding.

On the other hand, on the side of the Northern Song Dynasty, after the donkey cart, Zhao Guangyi never mentioned the matter of the royal driver's personal expedition, but changed his command, and formulated the concept of the Northern Expedition of the three-way army before the expedition, and planned the things to be done by each army in every detail.

To put it simply, the army is divided into three routes, bounded by the north-south Taihang Mountain, the East Route Army attracts the main force of the Liao Army in the Hebei Plain, and the Middle Route Army captures the Taihang Mountain Pass, and then joins forces with the West Route Army to first level the west of Taihang Mountain, and then supports the East Route Army.

In fact, from today's point of view, this strategy has a big head-beating component, because the fundamental purpose of the Northern Song Dynasty's Northern Expedition can always only be Youzhou in the east.

Whether it is lost or won in Taihang Mountain, it will not affect the Liao army on the Hebei Plain to chase the Song army with its cavalry superiority.

The result was that the armies of the west and middle roads won and won all the way, the army of the east road lost and lost all the way, the Liao army swept the Song army on the Hebei Plain, and the two roads lacked strategic support points and could not hold them, and could only be defeated in the end.

And the rout of the Eastern Route Army is not only a matter of the cavalry gap, but also Zhao Guangyi's riotous operation.

Cao Bin, who led the army on the East Road, was an old general of Zhao Da and was highly suspicious during the second period of Zhao.

Before Yongxi's Northern Expedition, the capital eunuch of Zhenzhou framed Cao Bin for buying people's hearts, and Zhao Er simply and directly dismissed Cao Bin from his position as privy envoy.

A month later, Zhenzhou was convicted, and Cao Bin's grievances were resolved, but Zhao Er still did not restore Cao Bin to the position of privy councillor.

As a result, the army of the East Road saw that the Central and Western Roads were frequently successful, and Cao Bin, who did not have the position of privy envoy, was unable to suppress his subordinates due to his low position, and was forced to send troops, and was completely defeated by the Liao army.

In fact, according to the records before and after the "Taizong Record", whether the Eastern Route Army sent troops or retreated, it was ordered by Zhao Guangyi, and Cao Bin was actually set aside by Zhao Er.

As a result, after the defeat of the army, Zhao Er directly put the responsibility on Cao Bin's head, saying that the reason for this defeat was "the reason why the generals do not respect the success".

This operation has to be said to remind the UP Lord of a transport captain who once airdropped warrants to command the battlefield.

In addition, according to the summary of today's scholars, after the failure of the Yongxi Northern Expedition, Song Taizong adopted a strategy of comprehensive contraction, not only stopped the planning of the Northern Expedition, but also stopped the strategy of the southwest direction.

Under the circumstance that the external succession was powerless, the theory of fighting soldiers was gradually adopted, and the military generals completely lost their right to speak, and the pattern of emphasizing literature over military force was completely formed, which was also the beginning of the weakness of the Northern Song Dynasty.

During the reign of Song Renzong, Wenchen Yin Su used a passage to summarize the situation of Yiwen light military force at that time:

"The champion ascended to the top, although tens of millions of soldiers were restored, the secluded and thistle, the strong prisoners were captured in the desert, the triumphant song was returned, and the Jietai Temple was dedicated, and its glory was unattainable."

Even if the military general led the troops to restore the old Tutai Temple of the Han and Tang Dynasties, the glory was still not as good as the champion Lang who was named outside the Donghua Gate, which was the weak Song Dynasty. 】

Weak Song!

All the things in front of him just made Zhao Kuangyin angry or sad, but these two simple words made his body shake for a moment.

At this moment, he almost wanted to rush into the light curtain and yell:

Only by opening up the territory can the country be established, and if the territory is not opened, the country will not exist, so what is the use of the champion ascending to the top?

But it's a pity that this can only be a utopian dream, and the fact is that from his point of view, he also understands that the military generals are so weak that it will be even more difficult for those who want to open up land for the country.

Either change the law to save yourself, or wait for the golden soldier to arrive, and watch Tianjie step on the bones.

"You are a shrimp and eel, you have no courage in your heart, and you have lost my soldiers' food and wealth in vain."

Listening to his brother's lament, Zhao Guangyi opened his mouth to explain, but felt that he couldn't talk about it.

He didn't want to admit that Song Taizong, who was brave in World War II and had no responsibility in World War II, was himself.

But a voice in his heart told him that it was normal for him Zhao Kuangyi to do these things.

Otherwise, he could have joined the army in the next week to help his brother, but in the end he chose to stay in the safety of Bianliang City.

Going to the battlefield is a matter of unwillingness.

But even so, he still doesn't want to admit defeat:

"In this case, the elder brother can make the younger brother's wish unfulfilled, and he should be happy."

Zhao Kuangyin raised the corner of his eyes, stared at his younger brother and said thoughtfully:

"If I punch you to death here, do you think the juniors in the light curtain will know? Has the history book changed over there? ”

Zhao Guangyi was shocked, seeing that his brother's posture of clenching his fists almost ran away, all his quick wits were almost immediately used at this time:

"Brother looked at the Tang Taizong and saw the curtain at the same time, and the chaotic times at the end of the Tang Dynasty have not changed."

"My brother even told me that Liu Bei's benefit from the light curtain has been closed, but how can the records of the Three Kingdoms become evil?"

"From this, killing my brother is useless."

These words are reasonable and well-founded, and Zhao Kuangyin was also convinced, so he finally put down his fist and said with a smile:

"I'm just joking, why should a good brother take it seriously?"

Since the official family said so, Zhao Guangyi could only paced back cautiously.

Seeing that his brother really didn't care anymore, he also tried to find a word:

"It's also that my brother never thought that this Khitan queen would be so good."

"And with my Chinese customs, I didn't hesitate in the end."

Zhao Kuangyin shook his head and said lightly:

"I have heard what my descendants said later, and the history of Liao and Jin is also one of the twenty-four histories of later generations, all of which are regarded as the Zhengshuo of China."

Zhao Guangyi could only smile awkwardly, but he felt a little regretful in his heart:

Since Liao is also Zhengshuo, why doesn't this light curtain go to find the Khitan people? As a result, he ended up in such a situation.

Obviously, it only takes two more years to go to the King of Jin and climb the ......

Such a thought jumped in his heart for a moment, and he was firmly pressed to death by Zhao Guangyi.

If you want to live well in the future, you can't have a little snooping on your brother, unless your brother really can't solve the death disaster two years later.

And he needs to survive these two years no matter what!

……

In the mansion of General Chang'an of the Han Dynasty, Zhang Fei complained directly:

"According to what this Song Chen said, even if the champion Hou is resurrected, it is not as good as this champion and the first?"

Pang Tong has always been not afraid of things, and said with a smile when he heard this:

"Yi Demo said that the champion Hou Fusheng, even if Wei Huo's merits are all attributed to one person, then in the Song Dynasty, you must listen to the champion, and you must also listen to the Song Emperor to fight remotely."

"If you win, Emperor Song will be wise, and if you lose, you will not respect your success."

"Even the Marquis of Huaiyin doesn't dare to say that there will be a success before the war!"

Zhang Fei hated:

"The brother killer who was scared to pee his pants in this battle still wants to make a calculation, no wonder this Song Dynasty is dead."

"Can the champion and the first be worth more than a thousand elite soldiers?"

Kong Ming smiled and watched Zhang Fei whining there, which was not surprising.

After all, whether it is the present Han Dynasty or the later generations in the light curtain, or the early Tang Dynasty, all respect martial arts to expand the territory for glory.

Yide is even more so, he wants to make a contribution to the opening of the border, to enter the martial temple to enjoy the sacrifice, and he wants to be famous for future generations so that future generations can engrave his name on the stars and moon.

As a result, the credit of the heart and mind is so despised that it is naturally resentful.

Pang Tong also supplies the avenue that is not afraid of things:

"I just hate that at this time, there is no Song Shi Zhuangyuan Lang to confront Yide."

At this time, Zhang Fei hesitated and shook his head and said:

"It's also my descendants, and I also understand that it's not the disaster of the champion."

"It's really that Zhao Er is a brave and uncompetitive person."

Everyone in the hall laughed when they heard this, and Liu Bei shook his head and concluded:

"If the martial arts are very prosperous, there will be the disaster of the Tang Domain, but if the military is suppressed by literature, there will be generals who do not know that the soldiers will die in every battle, and there is also the worry of losing the country."

"When we learn from it, we will not cause future disasters."

Kong Ming, Pang Tong and the others all nodded together, and now they are the teachers of the front car with this overthrow of the rear car.

Zhang Fei loudly dismantled the stage and said:

"Brother, don't think about it so far, wait until the Cao thief is destroyed, and then let my old Zhang pass through the Western Regions, open Jiaozhou, occupy the Korean Peninsula, and then go to the Wa country to see."

"When I arrive, Lao Zhang will definitely be relieved and return to the field, so that my eldest brother will not be embarrassed."

Liu Bei couldn't cry or laugh, and Ma Chao was looking forward to it with the same eyes:

Who can refuse such a martial arts that can set an example for thousands of years?

……

"This Emperor Song doesn't know anything, how can he be undefeated in such a battle?"

"If I restrain the pharmacist like this, don't talk about this Tuguhun, Jieli may still show off his power at this time."

Li Shimin also complained loudly, causing Li Jing to nod secretly.

or the relationship between the two years since he ascended the throne, compared to the throne under the buttocks, the military general who charged on horseback was also an unforgettable career for him, so he complained directly.

Empress Changsun asked with a smile: "If Your Majesty changes places and becomes the general of this Song Emperor......

Li Shimin's answer was without hesitation:

"Then follow that Zhao Da, seize his position, sweep the world and make the four seas one."

Empress Eldest Sun shook her head and said:

"This may be the reason why Zhao Er is difficult to rest assured of the generals."
