Chapter 232: What level of your Song Army do you want to go on the Northern Expedition too?

"Then let's start with the Northern Song Army's two attacks on Liao."

Chu Zhen's words made the foreheads of the Great Song monarchs sweat again.

Northern Song Dynasty, this title is not enough, they have heard it before.

But there were two expeditions to Liao?!

In the eyes of the Song Dynasty's courtiers who were extremely curious, Chu Zhen continued:

"The first expedition to Liao, the Jin soldiers have captured Xijing, Emperor Tianzuo fled into Jiashan, Yanjing became a lonely place, and Yelu Chun was supported by Yelu Dashi of Liao as the Tianxi Emperor and established Northern Liao.

And at that time, Emperor Tianzuo listened to Xiao Fengxian's slander and killed the king of Jin, and the people's hearts turned away, and the Liao State was equivalent to splitting into two halves.

It was in this context that the ministers of the Northern Song Dynasty decided to attack Liao at this time in order to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun! ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Northern Song Dynasty monarchs, look at me, I'll look at you.

No one dared to speak.

The sitting Empress Dowager Xiang couldn't help but ask in surprise: "Liao is already in such a situation, the country is about to be broken, and my Great Song Dynasty official army can't even attack it?" ”

Tong Guan, who was kneeling on the ground, looked ugly, and even said words such as "the sin of the minister" in his mouth.

Chu Zhen said: "Before the Northern Song Dynasty army invaded Liao, Song Huizong set three strategies for Tong Guan: the Yan people surrendered to the wind, and Shangye; The king of Yan is called a vassal and a middle one; The Yan people were not satisfied, and patrolled the border according to the soldiers, and went down. ”

Zhao Ji heard this, and immediately approved: "These three strategies are exactly what I want!" ”

Chu Zhen, Li Qingzhao, Xiang Dowager and other people around looked at him.

Zhao Ji's expression froze, and he hurriedly changed his words: "I am not Song Huizong, I just think...... This royal teacher, it should be like this. ”

He looked embarrassed and sneered.

Chu Zhen didn't bother to pay attention to it, and continued: "Song Huizong, Wang Hao, Liang Shicheng and other people who supported Lianjin to destroy Liao, thought that as soon as the Great Song Dynasty Wang Shi arrived, the people of Yandi would eat pot pulp and open the door to welcome them, but they didn't know that Yandi had been governed by the Liao Dynasty for two hundred years, and the Han people had already become Liao, and Yelu Dashi could easily gather tens of thousands of people into an army. ”

Zhao Ji didn't dare to say anything.

Liang Shicheng, the captain who was named, lowered his head and prayed in his heart that the immortal official would not mention his name again!

The kneeling seed master sighed: "Lianjin to destroy Liao is really a nameless teacher, Song Liao has been peaceful for a hundred years, when Jin destroyed Liao, even if we don't help, we shouldn't take advantage of people's danger." ”

No one answered his words, only Tong Guan looked at him.

Chu Zhen said: "Before the war on Liao, Cai You pointed to the two beautiful concubines on Song Huizong's side, and said that if the war Liao returned victorious, he would reward them to him. ”

When Zhao Ji heard this, he was furious, and scolded one of the ministers: "Cai Ju'an, you dare to peep at the people in my palace!" ”

The ministers looked surprised, Cai You hurriedly knelt down, bowed his head, and shouted sadly: "Your Majesty, the ministers don't dare!" ”

Can't?

How could Chu Xianguan slander him?

The Empress Dowager couldn't stand it anymore, and said to Zhao Ji: "Official, let's talk about it after listening to the words of Chu Xianguan." ”

So the monarch and the minister were silent and continued to listen to the history told by the immortal official.

"If the prison army is still like this, how good can the people below be?"

Chu Zhen said: "With Song Huizong's three strategies in front, Tong Guan hesitated, and after the seed master saw him, he also said that he should not cut Liao. Whether the battle should be retreated, whether it should surrender or whether it should be defeated, the Northern Song Dynasty has always hesitated. ”

Tong Guan immediately accused the seed master: "The three armies have been sent, but the general is still looking ahead and looking backwards, resulting in the defeat of Liao!" ”

The planter was speechless, so he had to kowtow and ask for sin.

Zhao Ji looked at Chu Xianguan, who had said before that the old general was a rare person who could still win a battle.

"In this matter, I also think that General Zhong did something wrong."

Chu Zhen expressed his opinion, "But this is not just you, the Northern Song Dynasty monarchs and ministers are like this, or in other words, since the party dispute, the Northern Song Dynasty court has been in constant dispute, and if someone supports something, someone must oppose it!" A lot of times it's opposition for the sake of opposition. ”

Lianjin's strategy of attacking Liao cannot be said to be wrong, if it can successfully recover Yanjing, this move is a wise move.

It's a pity that the Great Song Dynasty is too bad, the emperor can't do it, the ministers can't do it, and the generals can't do it, so don't expect the soldiers to have morale.

Li Qing glanced at the ministers of the Great Song Dynasty, and saw that these ministers who were majestic in the past were all so speechless that Chu Langjun couldn't raise their heads at the moment.

How can the ministers not know the harm of party strife?

But no one can stop it.

"Under such circumstances, the Northern Song Dynasty began to invade Liao."

Chu Zhen quickly cut through the chaos: "The first time to cut Liao, the battle of Landiangou, Yang Keshi led thousands of horsemen to encounter 2,000 people from Yelu Dashi, Yang Keshi was defeated, and he was bloodied.

In the second battle, the battle of Baigou, tens of thousands of Western troops faced each other across the river from Yelu Dashi, and the Northern Song Dynasty army hesitated because of the order issued by Tong Guan to 'not kill innocents indiscriminately', and the Western army had just finished fighting Fangla, and they were reluctant to go out again, and their morale was not good.

Under various factors, when Guo Yaoshi led more than 10,000 Changsheng troops to arrive on the second day, the Northern Song army was defeated again. ”

The Great Song Junchen was horrified in his heart.

The seed master was speechless, and glanced at Tong Guan, and Tong Guan looked at Zhao Ji.

There are three strategies in the upper, middle and lower levels, but in fact, there is only the upper policy, that is, Song Huizong wants to use the king to deter the Liao army and make it surrender.

And Fang La's anti-thieves were able to hold out for so long, and they had just been pacified when they were cutting Liao!

Chu Zhen continued: "In the third battle, Fan Village, Xin Xingzong and Xiao Gan fought fiercely for several days, and they were also defeated. At this point, the first expedition of the Northern Song Dynasty to Liao ended in failure, and Song Huizong urgently ordered his division to return to the dynasty. ”

After a pause, Chu Zhen said: "The experience of the three major wars recorded in the history books of the Northern Song Dynasty is not very detailed, up to the Song Huizong, Tong Guan, Chongshi Dao, Xin Xingzong, Yang Keshi and other generals, as well as the morale of the soldiers, all caused the failure of this expedition to Liao. ”

When the Great Song monarch heard this, he could only be silent.

Having lost all three battles, what else is there to say?

This is no longer the business of one or two generals, but the Northern Song Dynasty, no, the Great Song Dynasty! It's that the officials and soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty are rotten.

"But compared with the second Northern Expedition, the first expedition to Liao was quite gratifying."

Chu Zhen's next sentence made the Great Song Dynasty go up to Zhao Ji, Empress Dowager Xiang, Empress Zheng, and down to the fifth or sixth grade petty officials, all of whom looked at it in disbelief.

Valiao, who was defeated in three battles, can it be called a gratifying record?

What are the achievements?!

"After the first expedition to Liao, the seed master Dao, Xin Xingzong and others were blamed by Tong Guan, and a few months later Yeluchun died of illness, and Guo Yaoshi led the Changsheng army to surrender to the Northern Song Dynasty. Under these circumstances, the monarchs and ministers of the Great Song Dynasty once again decided to attack Liao. ”

After listening to the words of the immortal official, he looked at Zhao Ji to the Queen Mother and sighed: "The official family has the heart to recover Yandi, but there is no power for the Northern Expedition." ”

Zhao Ji's face looked much better.

Chu Xianguan's words were sharp, and he scolded the Great Song Dynasty all over the place, even he, the emperor, was no exception, which really made him lose face.

Fortunately, Chu Xianguan was scolded by all of them, otherwise he would have no shame to be the emperor again!

Li Qingzhao also looked at Chu Langjun and gave him a look desperately.

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Chu Zhen received it, but ignored her, and continued: "Still the commander of Tong Guan, Liu Yanqing replaced the seed master Dao, the Northern Expedition, and fought against the Liao army led by Xiao Gan in Lugou, and suffered a small defeat. ”

Hearing the word "small defeat", everyone was happy.

It's a small defeat, not a fiasco!

"Soon after, Liu Yanqing listened to the advice of Guo Yaoshi, the general of the Liao State, and sent him and Yang Keshi brothers, Gao Shixuan, Wang Qi, Wang Duanchen and others to lead the vanguard army to take Yanjing directly, and Liu Guangshi led 50,000 troops to support it one after another."

This time, Chu Xianguan named many people's names, and Zhao Ji and the others listened carefully.

"Guo Yaoshi, after Yang Keshi came to Yanjing, he sent people to pretend to be people into the city, captured several gates of Yanjing, and thousands of Northern Song Dynasty troops then entered the city, leaving Zhao Heshou 2,000 people to garrison outside the north gate."

"That's a good plan!"

Tong Guan shouted loudly.

The ministers were finally able to breathe a sigh of relief, thousands of Song officials and troops entered the city, and there were 2,000 troops outside to support at any time, and Liu Guangshi led 50,000 troops on the way.

How could Yanjing not be taken by the Great Song Dynasty?

Although Chu Xianguan said that the second attack on Liao was a big defeat, he finally took Yanjing and saved the face of the Great Song Dynasty.

"Okay?"

Chu Zhen glanced lightly at Tong Taiwei, who was led by eunuchs, and Tong Guan didn't dare to speak.

"After entering the city, the Song army thought it was victorious, led by Guo Yaoshi, Yang Keshi and others began to indulge their subordinates to loot property, kill the Khitan and Xi people, and Concubine Xiao De in the imperial city refused to surrender, and the Khitans in the city took up arms to resist, causing the Northern Song army to struggle in the city."

The Great Song monarch lost his voice again.

They have a bad premonition!

Sure enough, they heard Chu Xianguan continue: "Not long after, Yelu Dashi, Xiao Gan and others returned to Yanjing, and they also pretended to be Song Jun to deceive and open the city gate, and immediately closed the city gate after entering the city!" ”

Zhao Ji, Tong Guan, Seed Master Dao and others were all dumbfounded.

The same ploy worked twice!?

Chu Zhen said: "Brother Yang Keshi, Gao Shixuan and others fought with the Liao army, but Zhao Heshou's 2,000 men and horses outside the city were nowhere to be seen, and Liu Guangshi's 50,000 troops walked for two days and did not reach Yanjing. ”

As a result, Gao Shixuan, Wang Qi, Li Yao, Shi Xunmei, Wang Duanchen and others died in battle, and Yang Keshi, Guo Yaoshi and others fled Yanjing. It is said that a famous Southern Song Dynasty general surnamed Yue also survived this battle. ”

Everyone was silent, and the official army of the Great Song Dynasty was only one step away from being able to capture Yanjing City.

Who knew that the peak turned around, and it ended so tragically!

"Zhao Heshou, why didn't Liu Guangshi come?!"

Zhao Ji was furious again, from Chu Xianguan's narration, he almost saw that the Great Song Dynasty had recovered Yanjing, and as a result, he was defeated because of these two people!

Zhao Heshou is not in Bianjing.

"Your Majesty, the minister is guilty!"

Liu Guangshi, who was standing far away, fell to his knees and pleaded guilty like everyone else.

From the position where he stands, it is clear that he has a low official position now.

His father, Liu Yanqing, also knelt down to plead guilty.

"There are many arguments that the two of them didn't come to support."

Chu Zhen didn't want to look at it anymore, and continued: "Some people say that it is because Guo Yaoshi, who surrendered, did not want Zhao Heshou to make meritorious contributions, he was also a Liao general, and Liu Guangshi also had a gap with Yang Keshi, so he deliberately delayed. ”

"Your Majesty!!"

Liu Guangshi in the distance shouted injustice, he didn't know Yang Keshi at all now!

Chu Zhen didn't wait for Zhao Ji to speak, so he continued: "After the defeat and retreat of Yanjing, Yelu Dashi and others summoned Liu Yanqing, saying that 300,000 troops were coming, Liu Yanqing was shocked, burned the camp and fled south, and the 200,000 troops of the Northern Song Dynasty were defeated without a fight, and were killed all over the field, and all the grain, grass and weapons were lost, and the Northern Song Dynasty was in a slump from then on. ”

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Zhao Ji's face turned pale, he looked at Liu Yanqing below, and saw that he was in a cold sweat, but he had no strength to accuse him.

Defeat without a fight, is it a shame to sum it up?

Wen Chen, the military general of the Song Dynasty standing in front of the Daqing Palace, only had a deep fear of the Liao State left in his heart at this moment.

But that's not all.

Chu Zhen went down again: "Tong Guan saw that the war had failed, and he was afraid that Song Huizong would punish him, so he asked the Jin soldiers to attack Yanjing, and he bought it from the Jin State with money, and finally recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Tong Guan: "......"

At this moment, he just wants to beg the immortal official to give him a little face!

"Song Huizong was overjoyed, and ordered someone to engrave the "Fuyan Cloud Tablet" to promote his immortal achievements, and named Tong Guan as the king of Guangyang County, and the rest of the soldiers were rewarded."

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€

Everyone had nothing to say, and Zhao Ji's face turned red.

"Soon after, the Jin soldiers who saw the reality of the Northern Song Dynasty began to move south, and the Song army and the cities along the road looked at the wind and surrendered, and the Jin soldiers crossed the Yellow River without hindrance, and Tong Guan abandoned Taiyuan and fled, and was ordered to be killed by Song Qinzong, and his head was hung in public."

Chu Zhen's words were cold, Tong Guan only felt that his hands and feet were cold, and he screamed and begged for mercy: "Your Majesty, ...... minister!" ”

He didn't even notice that Song Huizong had become Song Qinzong!

He just became the king of Guangyang County in the last sentence and was crowned the prince as a eunuch, but in the next sentence he was killed and his head was shown to the public!

How miserable!

"Killed with Tong Guanβ€”"

Chu Zhen's words shocked many Great Song courtiers again, and they all pricked up their ears to listen.

"Or exiled to death, as well as Cai Jing, Zhu Mian, Wang Hao, Li Yan, Liang Shicheng, Cai You, Gao Yu, Zhao Liangsi, etc."

Chu Zhen looked at these people and said lightly.

In the Daqing Palace, no one is afraid.

Let you be in power at this moment, there are many farms and houses, and there are groups of servants in the family, but after the Jin soldiers went south, they were all slaughtered.

Even Song Huizong was taken captive and became a prisoner of the Jin Kingdom!
