is also the emperor, after getting the news of the Youzhou incident, Emperor Liao Tianzuo was angry, and Song Huizong was frightened and inexplicable.

Because of the asymmetry of information, Song Huizong completely thought that after Dong Huang's army was defeated, the angry Liao army took advantage of the situation to go south and conquered Hebei all the way.

Liu Yanqing's defeat and the fall of Zhendingfu, Zhaozhou, Xiangzhou and other places have actually allowed the Fazheng army to drink the Yellow River at any time, and if Zhao Yun's troops leave Cangzhou and enter the Daimyo's mansion again, the entire land of Hebei will not be in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.

Even Song Huizong didn't expect that in the whole of Hebei now, only Cai Jing's son-in-law Liang Zhongshu's famous mansion is still in the hands of the Great Song Dynasty.

Cai Xianggong is really discerning, and Liang Zhongshu is really a loyal and good general

But Liang Zhongshu's outstandingness could not reduce Song Huizong's fear at all.

Song Huizong, who was frightened three times in one night, hurriedly ordered Tong Guan's subordinates to hurry back to Bianjing, and at the same time restarted the Dao of Seed Masters, so that he could quickly bring the elite of the Western Army to help.

Song Huizong even planned to gather troops from all over the country to fight for the king, but the Zhao family's emphasis on military power in his bones still made him temporarily suppress this idea.

In a panic, Song Huizong successively got a good news and a bad news, the good news is that the Liao army in Hebei has been defeated by Dong Huang's army, the bad news is that Dong Huang's army recaptured the sixteen states of Youyun and invited Chai Jin, and the name of the Zhou Dynasty hangs the people for the crime, such as the Northern Song Dynasty's ingratitude and unrighteousness, Zhao Kuangyi's killing of his brother and the loss of his teacher and humiliating the country, and the crime of Song Huizong's poverty and extravagance and tyranny and abuse of the people.

The crusade from Chen Lin's hand was so wonderful that even Song Huizong was amazed, but when he thought that the person who scolded him was himself, Song Huizong's whole person was not good.

"What kind of invasion by the Liao people, I think it is a game that Dong Huang deliberately drove the Liao people to do when he defeated the Liao people!"

"What is the revival of the Hou Zhou, phew, it is clearly the excuse that Dong Huang used to rebel!"

"Dong Huang wants to use the firewood to enter and then add to the yellow robe!"

The angry Zhao Ji even lost his words, after all, Zhao Kuangyin's yellow robe is not a glorious thing.

In fact, Song Huizong Zhao Ji is extremely smart, but being smart is not used in the right place.

Dong Huangjun didn't pretend this time, and there was a direct showdown, and Zhao Ji naturally tasted it.

But the problem is that Dong Huang recovered the sixteen states of Yanyun and defeated hundreds of thousands of elite strongmen of the Liao army!

As for whether he could defeat such a powerful army, Song Huizong was also a little uncertain.

At the critical moment, it was Taiwei Tong Guan who emboldened Song Huizong: "Official, Dong Huang is just a warlord all the way to Shandong, with less than 200,000 soldiers, and the equipment is far inferior to the forbidden army. It doesn't mean how strong Dong Huang's army must be. ”

There is only one core meaning in the fairy tales: I can do it too!

It's not that Dong Huang is too strong, but that the Liao army is too wasteful.

"That makes sense!"

Tong Guan's words made Zhao Ji smile.

"But, why was Liu Yanqing defeated?"

Zhao Ji is not so easy to deceive, Liu Yanqing's defeat and the fall of Bazhou and Cangzhou and other places are not only the problem of the loss of military funds accumulated in the north for many years, but also the complete collapse of the northern defense line that the Great Song Dynasty has operated for a hundred years.

Dong Huangjun, who can cause all this, is not too weak, right?

"Liu Yanqing was attacked lightly!"

Tong Guan first gave Liu Yanqing a personality, and then said: "After Liu Yanqing retreats to Jingcheng to regroup, isn't Dong Huangjun helpless? ”

In fact, Tong Guan was a little glad that Liu Yanqing and others had lost the military funds they had reserved for many years, because in this way, the accounts that he and those generals had embezzled for many years were finally settled.

Even if it was to thank Liu Yanqing for his contribution to the settlement of accounts, he had to pull Liu Yanqing along.

"Really?"

Song Huizong's eyes lit up.

If that's the case, there's a head.

"Official, the place of misfortune and blessing is lurking, although Dong Huang occupies Youzhou, but he only has many soldiers and horses, and now there must be someone to guard Youzhou, right? There are also 350,000 people in Cangzhou, and the rest are in a long snake formation on the front line of Zhending and Zhaozhou, and the beginning and end must not be taken into account! ”

Tong Guan took out a map and analyzed the situation thoroughly, but he didn't finish his words.

But how smart Song Huizong was, he immediately understood Tong Guan's true meaning.

"Dolph, you will be in charge of ten at once...... The 200,000 forbidden army went north, and controlled the Daoist Department of the Seed Division, and was sure to attract the main force of Dong Huang's army, and then ordered Liu Yanqing to send troops, cut off the main grain route of Dong Huang's army, and attacked before and after, annihilating the main force of Dong Huang's army, and after that, directly sent troops to the land of Youyan to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun! ”

Zhao Ji pointed out the road with high spirits.

Recapturing the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun was something that his ancestor Zhao Er had not been able to do.

Once done, he is the greatest emperor since the Tang Dynasty, and he wants to enshrine Mount Tai so that all generations will remember his great achievements.

"Your Majesty Shengming!"

Tong Guan, who achieved his goal, hurriedly patted his ass.

Although it is said that this strategy was planned by Tong Guan, he was able to guide Zhao Ji to say this strategy that can definitely win big without saying a specific strategy, so as to please Zhao Ji, that is his ability.

What is the most important thing to be a courtier?

Meritorious?

Is it capable?

No, it's neither!

The most important thing for a courtier is to make the emperor happy!

When the emperor is happy, everything is there.

With Zhao Ji's handpicking, Tong Guan happily took the order.

Liu Yanqing really wrote to explain to him before.

Liu Yanqing said in the letter that Dong Huang's army had reached the end of the crossbow, if it wasn't for Gao Shixuan's light enemy, he would not have been defeated, when he stabilized the situation in Jingcheng, but killed more than 20,000 people of Dong Huang's army, Dong Huang's army saw that he could not attack Jingcheng, so he went south to fight the autumn wind.

Although Tong Guan didn't fully believe Liu Yanqing's words, if he made a discount, Dong Huang's army should have been annihilated by him at least more than 10,000 people, right? And Dong Huangjun really didn't capture Jingcheng, right? Dong Huang's army won't have no losses in attacking Yanjing, right?

All kinds of factors add up, making Tong Guan feel that he has a great chance of winning.

Tong Guan's relentless army finally brought the 200,000 forbidden army to the north bank of the Yellow River, and joined the nearly 100,000 western troops of the brothers in the plant.

The seed master road also proposed to Tong Guan the method of cutting off Dong Huang's back road, and proposed that the troops be divided into three ways, all the way to attack Jingdong East Road, attack Dong Huang's army's lair, one route was personally led by the seed master road, detour to Hedong Road, through Taiyuan Mansion out of Jingcheng, cut off Dong Huang's army back road.

The suggestion of the Seed Master Dao made Tong Guan feel that the Seed Master Dao wanted to rob him of his merits, so he rejected the suggestion of the Seed Master Dao under the pretext that the official handpicked Liu Yanqing to make meritorious contributions.

As for the direction of Shandong, Tong Guan was not completely unprepared, and he also wanted his henchmen to grab the credit, but how could Gao Yu say that he moved the official family and asked his cousin Gao Lian, the prefect of the Tang Dynasty, to command the troops to capture Jingdong East Road, focusing on seizing Yanggu and Yuncheng, and cutting off the back road of Dong Huang's army.

For this kind of behavior of grabbing merit and picking up cheap, Tong Guan of course hated itchy, but at this critical moment, he didn't want to offend Gao Yu, the favored retainer of Song Huizong, so he could only pinch his nose and admit it.

Part of the credit is already missing, and you still want to grab it? There are no doors!

The planter retreated depressed.

On the other side, Liu Yanqing, who received the order, was completely stunned.

[Let me send troops to cut off Dong Huang's army? 】

Liu Yanqing looked at the defeated army that couldn't get all the weapons, and his face was ugly.

Tong Guan (1054-1126), the word Daofu, a Daofu, Kaifeng (now Henan Province) people. The eunuch of the Northern Song Dynasty, one of the "six thieves".

In his early years, he relied on the Battle of Hehuang and the war against Western Xia.

In 1120, Tong Guan was ordered to lead the army to suppress the Fangla peasant uprising, and later made Gongjin his master. In 1122, the Jin people had fallen into the three provinces of Tokyo, Shangjing, and Zhongjing, and the Song Dynasty decided to go on a northern expedition, but all of them ended in failure. The Song Dynasty exchanged the silver from the Jin people for the empty city of Yanjing and established the Yanshan Mansion. Song Huizong thought that Tong Guan had made a great contribution, and ordered him to be the Xuanfu envoy of Yanshan Mansion, and issued an edict to explain that his Jieyue was the true third duke, and he was crowned Xu and Henan, and later he was named the king of Guangyang County.

In 1125, Zhao Huan of Song Qinzong ascended the throne by Chan, issued an edict to march in person, and Tong Guan was left behind in Tokyo. After indiscriminately killing innocents, he attracted a swarm of counselors and other speakers. At the beginning, he demoted the general of the left guard, and even served as the deputy envoy of the Zhaohua Army, and then exiled to Yingzhou. On the way to exile, Song Qinzong issued an edict to count his ten major crimes, and ordered the superintendent of the imperial history Zhang Cheng to follow the trail to Nanxiong and immediately behead him.
