The war first started at the Longmeng Dike on the front line of Waqiao Pass. Song general Jing Si had only nearly a thousand soldiers and horses, but he actually let him escape back to Waqiao Pass safely.

At the same time, Cui Yanjin, Mi Xin and other troops arrived one after another, facing each other across the water, but they were unable to enter the pass.

At this time, a brave general in the city asked Zhang Shi to volunteer to stand up, hoping to disperse the Khitan army so that Cui Yanjin and others could enter the city.

Mr. Zhang was very brave, but the other man was even braver. Seeing Mr. Zhang and his men in the army as if there was no enemy, Yelu Xiuge personally got on the horse, rushed into the formation, and killed Mr. Zhang down.

However, what is amazing is that although the chief general died, the subordinates of Zhang Shi were calm and responded calmly, successfully retreated to Waqiao Pass without being wiped out.

Yelu Xiu Ge did not attack the key points, but looked at the army of Cui Yanjin and others.

He discovered a shortcoming of the Song army. All the troops came to Waqiao Pass and gathered temporarily, and there was no unified command and deployment, so he decided to lead the elite cavalry to raid. The next day, Yelu Xiuge led the iron cavalry to attack. At this time, the Song army was independent of each other and was caught off guard. Facing Yelu Xiuge's assault, they failed to organize their formation well. The troops had to make simple covers for each other in order to protect themselves, and retreat. They drove the Song army to Mozhou, beheaded tens of thousands, and captured several Song generals alive.

Emperor Jingzong of Liao was overjoyed and said, "You are too brave to be famous. If everyone is like you, why worry about not being able to defeat you?"

this……

Not to mention, as long as the Khitan produces ten Yelu Xiu Ges, they have to be used seriously, then Zhao Kuangyi will not have time to cry.

It was not ugly to lose to Yelu Xiuge, but Cui Yanjin and others were not convinced and reorganized the team again. They wanted to avenge their previous shame.

On the other side, Yelu Xiuge was suppressing the Khitan generals. Seeing Yelu Xiuge win, other generals wanted to do the same. Yelu Xiuge shook his head and said, "Today I caught the flash of the Song army and raided it. They also found the problem. It will not work if we go tomorrow. Our army crossed the river and attacked the Song army. The goal is to get back to Xiongzhou, and we must annihilate the Song army outside the city. We just need to block them. Why attack them? It only increases the danger?"

Because Yelu Xiu Ge saw a problem, first of all, Master Zhang died in battle, but his subordinates were not in trouble and calmly retreated to Waqiao Pass.

Although he suddenly attacked, he won a complete victory, but did not cause the Song army to collapse completely. These two prove that the Song army is not weak in combat effectiveness and is organized in an orderly manner. If the enemy is underestimated, they will fail.

The rest of the Khitans refused to listen. The next day, tens of thousands of cavalry were eager to make contributions and attacked the river. However, this time, the Song army was arranged in a square formation under the command of Cui Yanjin, and in turn compressed the Liao army to the riverside, defeated them, and beheaded more than 3,000 people.

The Khitan attacked Waqiao Pass without success, and saw the Song Dynasty reinforcements coming in a steady stream. At the suggestion of Yelu Xiuge, the army retreated.

If there is a battle, it may win, it may lose. Victory will also be a miserable victory. The Song Dynasty still had an army that would not destroy the country, nor would it even lose Waqiao Pass. But if it is defeated, these 200,000 soldiers were almost all the Khitan's family background. If they were gone, and the various troops rebelled, the Khitan would be divided in an instant.

Let's stop when you see it's good.

really.

When Zhao Kuangyi heard that the Khitan troops were heading south, he seemed to have taken stimulants, and Zhao Yanmei was the one who stayed in Tokyo and Wang Renshan was the main internal arrangement. The Privy Councilor ordered Chen Congxin to take charge of him and personally conquer the north again.

The car arrived at Daming Mansion and heard that the Khitans had withdrew, Zhao Kuangyi wanted to attack Youzhou again.

The first attack on Youzhou failed, and the soldiers were not rewarded, and the army was exhausted, but what about now?

Li Fang advised: "Beijing Rong people have been suffering from troubles since ancient times. They often have it in the autumn. Your Majesty has been fighting wind and rain, rushing and storming, and personally controlling the military uniforms to ward off the troubles of the people. The enemy is shocked and fleeing with power, so it is easy to cut it. Moreover, the soil of Youji has been trapped in the enemy for a long time, and the desire for enlightenment is lingering. Now if you have a million people who are rampant, you can hang the people of the rear of the country and attack with the power and the time can be determined. It is like a large army gathered, and the transfer of funds is the capital, and the area of ​​Heshuo will fly for a year. , The recent scriptures are ravaged, and it is extremely bleak. Even though I recommend it to be rich, I am afraid that it will not be able to help it. This is cold and I will stop working hard again. Moreover, the small enemy flew around at night, and the border is peaceful. If you personally patrol the frontier, you will be shocked and look down on your face. You are afraid of the remaining monsters. You are also afraid of the heavy work. You are in a hurry to Shen Jieyu Guard and lead the Kyoto. You are good at raising the heroes and training. You are strict instructing the border counties to accumulate military reserves, learn martial arts scriptures, repair and attack tools, and the burial hiding the palace and the wealth of the neighborhood. It is not too late to use the teacher in the past few years."

This is what Song Jiu looked down on literati.

The reason why I attacked Yanyun was that I had to attack the people of the country was extremely hypocritical.

But the national economy is indeed unbearable.

Not only the Song Dynasty, but also the Khitans' miserable battles over the past year, the economy began to wither.

So Zhao Kuangyi issued an edict in disappointment, asking Cao Han to cultivate the cities of Xiong, Ba, Pingrong, defeat the Lu, Ganning and other troops, open the Nanhe River, and allow Xiongzhou to reach Mozhou to carry out the canal transportation, and then hunt in Daming Prefecture and return to the capital.

When Zhao Kuangyi arrived in the capital, many people suggested to attack Youzhou quickly. Zhang Qixian, who had just returned to the capital as the left edict, submitted a memorial to advise. Xinping in Hedong, the people were not at peace, and there was no defensive military camp on the border. Therefore, we must first guard the key points of the country, increase barriers, and stabilize the people before we can go out of Yanmen and Yangwu Valley.

The border village must choose people. It is better to choose generals than to choose soldiers, and it is better to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to be able to take a break from the border. The fields are growing and silkworms are weaving, farming and grain are accumulated, and the border is used to make use of them. Will the enemy be willing to throw the land to death and cause trouble?

The sage first starts with the root and then ends with the end. The people are the root and the territory is the end. I hope to choose a common scholar. I interviewed two Zhejiang, Jinghu, Liangchuan, Lingnan, Hedong. There were fake edicts and harsh taxes. Change them to govern them, and use virtue to benefit the people to benefit the people. Then people who are far away can be waited immediately.

Zhang Qixian's intentions are good, but the people are the fundamentals. He has been using troops continuously, and the national taxes are tight, and taxes in various places have gradually increased. We must rest for a while before talking about it.

But neither Zhang Qixian, Zhao Pu, nor later famous minister Tian Xi, nor Wang Yuxi said the most important point, the portal.

The Ming Dynasty did not count, although it was Yan Yun, but Li Zicheng was almost done.

Just looking at the Tang Dynasty, the Tang Dynasty did not even build the Great Wall, why did the Turks dare not go deeper? There was no way to go deeper unless one city was attacked one by one. However, the nomadic people were good at fighting in the field, but they were not good at siegeing the city. But if they did not attack the city, the troops left behind were a big problem. Once they went deeper, the army in front was blocked and blocked behind them. Then a big thing would happen. Therefore, the Turks harassed the border during the Wu Zetian period, but only arrived at Dingshen and other states, and did not dare to go south.

But without the depth of Youzhou, nomadic iron cavalry could easily move south, such as the Battle of Chanzhou and the Jin people's invasion south.

There is no way to get it down. If you can get it down, even if everyone suffers, it will still be very cost-effective, and that is a century-old plan.

I can only say that before coming up with a good plan, you cannot attack blindly, otherwise you will be a big defeat.

Zhang Qixian's advice finally made Zhao Kuangyi think and say that after all, it was the same as what Li Fang said. The people and the country could not bear it.

In fact, he still has one thing that has not been said: War has caused harm to the people of the Song Dynasty, but will it not cause harm to the people of the Khitan? Why did Zhao Kuangyin prepare so much money in the warehouse and really buy a head?

There is another one, why did Emperor Jingzong of Liao withdraw his troops? This is a secret that Zhang Qixian was not blamed. It was not until Song Jiu returned that the secret was revealed.

The war in the north began and fell, and another small battle started in the south.

Hou Renbao, Sun Quanxing and Liu Cheng had to send troops.

There were Song Jiu and Pan Mei’s previous examples, so they sent troops from land and land. However, after making changes, they did not choose to go directly to the Xidao River (Honghe). They rushed into the inner abdomen of Jiaozhi, so Liu Cheng was not sure. After all, they were not Pan Mei, Yin Chongke and Wang Ming.

So I changed to the Baiteng River on the north side of the West Road River. It is close to Yongzhou and can cooperate in time with water and land. The idea is also good. Before there is no absolute advantage, it is best to be the Baiteng River. Whether it is the Southern Han or the Yuan and Meng later fought like this, and victory or defeat has nothing to do with it. This is a fighting style that conforms to the art of war.

Liu Cheng first broke into the Baiteng River, defeated the Jiaozhi Navy, killed thousands of Jiaozhi soldiers, and captured some warships. Hou Renbao immediately sent troops after hearing the news, but the chief general Sun Quanxing stayed in Huabu for 70 days. Hou Renbao was very angry and urged several times. Sun Quanxing somehow refused to send troops.

What happened next was even more ridiculous. After Liu Cheng arrived in big strides, Sun Quanxing had to send troops. The two armies met and sent scouts to inquire. The scouts came back to report that they had not found the enemy. After discussing, they would withdraw their troops if there was no enemy. So they withdrew their troops. So they withdrew from Huabu, south of Yongzhou.

The most funny thing is that they withdraw their troops, and they don’t tell Hou Renbao that Hou Renbao went deep into the army, and the enemy came to surrender. The innocent Hou Renbao went to surrender, but unfortunately died in a hidden position. The Song army’s great defeat in this battle cannot be regarded as a great defeat. Thousands of people died, and more soldiers died in Jiaozhi.

Once he died, he left countless messes.

First, several Song soldiers who fled back ran to Yongzhou City to rob the people's property and spread rumors in the city, which made the people feel anxious. But at this time, there were two famous ministers in Guangnan, one was Zhou Wei, the deputy envoy of Transportation. This was a legendary minister.

If Zhou Wei had stayed in Lingnan for more than ten years, the policies implemented by Song Jiu would have been likely to be destroyed by a group of mediocre officials.

In the early Song Dynasty, the Southern Han Dynasty had only more than 170,000 households, and now it has reached more than 330,000 households. This is not entirely due to the increase caused by benevolence. There are also the people captured from Jiaozhi, including the barbarian households registered, and some hidden households. However, the actual number of households increased by nearly 100,000 households, which was the fastest increase in population in the Song Dynasty.

Zhou Wei made an indelible contribution in the middle.

This little thing was easy for him to solve. He first beheaded several looted soldiers and then let them unarm the soldiers into the city, so people began to feel at ease.

However, there is still a mess. Compared with the conquest of Pan Mei-Song Kwok, this line is almost ridiculous and the preparation is even less. First, it is medicinal materials, and then the few chess pieces that Song Kwok set up in Lang Son were not used, and then it is the source of the soldiers. The Lingnan soldiers were all used that time, and this time they were mostly Jinghu soldiers, and even soldiers from the Yangtze River region.

From Guangnan to Jiaozhi, the forests are densely populated with frequent miasma, which is actually a variety of malignant diseases caused by malaria and the discomfort of the water and the water. If there is no problem in individuals, many yamen are now organizing ships to do business overseas, and Song Jiu's operations on those islands, and there is also malaria, but the harm is not great. However, the nature of the army is different, and thousands of people gather together, which is easy to get infected. Therefore, many soldiers under Sun Quanxing's tent were infected with malaria, and they dared not attack Jiaozhi. However, they did not dare to retreat.

Just stuck in Huabu, more and more soldiers are sick.

There was also a famous minister in Guangnan, Kou Zhun's father-in-law Xu Zhongxuan. He made a quick decision and ordered the withdrawal of troops. In order to facilitate the supply of food, Xu Zhongxuan asked the army to station in various prefectures, opened the treasury and rewarded it on his own, and then found a large number of herbs and doctors to treat the soldiers.

This is even more funny. It is necessary to fight, fight, food, military doctors, herbs, and there is no such thing in the army. Let Xu Zhongxuan save it...

A ghost battle!

But it won't end like this, because Lu Duosun not only ruined thousands of soldiers, but also destroyed Zhao Pu's brother-in-law. What would Zhao Pu think?

Lu Duosun did this, but Zhao Pu was not worthy of sympathy, because he was more cruel and shameless.

However, Zhao Pu is much more skilled than Ludoson. He has seen the opportunity. Zhao Defang died inexplicably this spring.
Chapter completed!
