Looking at the newspaper, Song Jiu said, "It's time to start."

After the actual plan was opened, there was no highlight except for the most important battle.

First, Li Jilong won a great victory, and Cui Yanjin saw that Yelu Xiu Ge was not a real god and could be defeated. So he came up with a draft.

But this draft is very imperfect and cannot even be implemented at all. Of course, Cui Yanjin did not expect the court to implement it as usual. He only provided an idea. The draft was in Song Jiu's hands and began to discuss with Zhao Kuangyi. If you look at the plan, it was mostly Zhao Kuangyi's idea, but it was actually Song Jiu's suggestion. But it was not perfect at that time. Until more and more people joined, the situation on the front line became more favorable, especially the northwest gradually stabilized, so the plan gradually settled.

The first step is to tempt Han Dewei.

Han Dewei was very fond of merit. There were indeed loopholes in the northwest. I was not afraid that Han Dewei would not be fooled. If he continued to create some loopholes for him to show him, he would be fooled sooner or later. Unless the Liao Kingdom replaced Yelu Xizhen with defense, is that possible? After all, the Southwest recruitment was not the focus of Liao Kingdom.

The battle of Zihe Ban laid the foundation for the second step, and the second step was to attack the mountain behind the shallow attack.

The young Liao army launched a fierce attack, but did not seek to occupy it. Therefore, when the reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom arrived, they immediately retreated.

And it did not have strict requirements on time. For example, the imperial court saw that it was too late last year, so it did not launch it. It just stabilized Hedong and prepared more food and grass.

This article is very important. The grain and grass come from Hedong and Shaanxi, just like the Central Plains. There is no good waterway between Hedong and Shaanxi, and the freight is very expensive. If the grain and grass come from the rear, the first one will be exhausted, and the second one will be unbearable to the court.

After this autumn, a "bobo" feint attack began. But if the Liao Kingdom did not send reinforcements, it might become a real attack. The troops were too advantageous. Even now, Li Jilong still had some ideas about Yunzhou City and Yelu Xizhen.

If so, the entire mountain behind Liao Kingdom will be turned into idle fields. The plan will also be realized.

In that case, the Liao Kingdom would be very hurt and painful. Even under the captive plunder of the Song Dynasty, most of the 100,000 households behind the mountain would be captured by the Song Dynasty. The population was also a huge wealth for the Liao Kingdom.

If you come to support, Liaodong will launch an attack.

This is even more difficult, and it has been restored and developed in a few years. Wu Xuanming has long been eager to try, so Shi Pu can't even hold back.

Sun Quanzhao's army was of great use. The Liao Kingdom would be very painful for the long coastline in the future. If the troops were stationed, it would incur a lot of expenses. Regardless of the long coastline, the long coastline would become a good place for the Song army to train troops.

It also created a kind of momentum, and the Song Dynasty directly echoed it in southern Liaoning, increasing Wu Xuanming's confidence.

At this time, it was officially windy.

It will be very hot...

The situation behind the mountain changed again.

The Song army slowly retreated to Hexi on the western route. Zhang Ning and the Zhe family father and son led an army of 30,000 from Yiliang Ferry to Shuozhou City. Yang Ye, Yin Jilun and Yang Si led an army of 70,000 to the Lingqiu Feihu Pass in Yingzhou, Huanzhou. They were not afraid of the reinforcements of the Liao Kingdom.

All of them are with Yelu Xiuge and Xiao Yanyan and his son in Liaodong. Of course, Song Jiu and Li Jilong cannot be determined, so that's okay. Liaodong will be somewhat restrained, and it will take a little time to gather more troops.

That's enough.

He was not afraid that Yelu Xizhen's troops would come to Shuozhou. Shuozhou still had heavy troops. Even if it was not good, he could calmly retreat to Yanmen Pass and Shenwu City. Besides, there was also Li Jilong and Song Jiu who continued to stay in Shuozhou City.

He was not afraid that Yelu Xizhen would attack Hexi.

Those forts in Hexi are not easy to attack, and they contain a lot of food, grass and weapons. They are very careful when choosing a site. First, the terrain is dangerous, and second, it is surrounded by mountains. Half is a mountain city, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Third, there is water source, not the living water of the river, but groundwater. It is said that Ge Huaimin's defeat in Dingchuan Village in history was the result of the lack of water in Dingchuan Village. Song Jiu really didn't know about this history. But he knew the story of Ma Su's loss of Jieting. Therefore, he attached great importance to water. Each fort must be able to dig several huge wells, at least to have drinking water with the horse.

They are different from the Linzhou City in history. They once caused a crisis due to water. However, there were too many residents in Linzhou City, and when Li Yuanhao invaded, they took in most of the residents, which led to a shortage of water in the city. It was not true that there was no drop of water in the city.

They are military cities, so as long as the enemy cannot defeat each fortress, they can hold on for more than half a year.

Therefore, Yelu Xizhen had only one choice, to conquer the foreign tribes outside the city, plunder wealth, and plunder the people. However, there are still many troops stationed in Hexi, and the foreigners are also combat-capturing. There are two major party-Xiang wealthy families in the rear, the Zhe family and the Wang family.

He could not bring in few soldiers, but he could bring in many soldiers. Is he afraid that the Song army would take the opportunity to conquer Yunzhou and seize his retreat?

The soldiers were more soldiers than the Liao army, and their morale and military discipline made up for the slight lack of combat effectiveness. There were several brave generals. The generals of Song Jiu and Li Jilong were only above Yelu Xizhen!

So this is a conspiracy.

Huanzhou is like Shuozhou, and the city walls were almost destroyed by the Song army. It doesn’t matter. As long as there are people, they can be built again. But Huanzhou is gone, so when he heard the arrival of the Song army, Yelu Guanu retreated to Yingzhou City.

The Song army slowly attacked Yingzhou.

On the other hand, there was also movement in Hebei.

It's still not Youzhou.

At that time, Zhao Kuangyi led hundreds of thousands of troops to the city, but he did not break through, and now.

Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng led 10,000 troops and horses to the Yishui River and attack Yizhou.

The road was very clear. The troops were captured by Yizhou, and then the troops were approached by Zijingling. The two armies of Li Jixuan were united from the river valley and attacked Feihu Pass.

So it happened to meet the East Route Army in Hedong. The purpose is very simple, it is to be behind the mountain.

Xiao Yanyan issued an edict to keep the city and villages and not be able to fight.

Before Liaodong is pacified, there can be no more demon moths in front of it.

But the tragic war still broke out when she first arrived in Liaodong.

Through the battle in Shuozhou, Yelu Xizhen won the biggest advantage, that is, he also set Yang Wudi and Yin Jilun down the altar.

If it is possible, these two people will also lose.

Their personal ferocity does not mean that their command ability is excellent, at least not as outstanding as the legendary Yang Wudi and the Black-faced King of the Liao soldiers.

All I can say is OK.

Moreover, after such a long passive defense, Yelu Xizhen was not a person who was waiting to die. He also heard a lot of news. More than half of the Song army were new recruits. Moreover, they were mostly infantry, and the weather became colder, which was not beneficial to the Song army.

Seventy thousand soldiers said that there were not many less, and not many more.

There was a conspiracy in Shuozhou, Hexi, and Yelu Xizhen knew of course. He would not foolishly bring the army to Hexi for useless achievements, or bring it to Shuozhou to confront the Song army head-on. So he placed the battlefield in Yingzhou.

The Song army was blind and ignorant, and teams of troops slowly moved eastward.

The speed is not fast. So many soldiers and horses need to eat and drink, and they must bring food and grass. They punished Cao Bin's injuries, and the food and grass followed the army. Even Song Jiu was willing to turn the soldiers into civilians to carry food and grass while marching slowly. Fortunately, it was a flat river valley to the east, and the speed of marching barely reached one and a half a day.

Come to the city of Yingzhou.

The south of Yingzhou City is the famous Dashikou in history. After Pan Mei was defeated by Yelu Xizhen, Yang Ye proposed that the troops leave Dashi Road and enter Shijie Valley to avoid his attack. Under the stimulation of Wang Wei, he left Shuozhou from the Xiaoshikou Road next to the side and started the battle at Chenjia Valley. He finally died heroically.

On the other side of Dashi Road is Dongxing Pass in Yanmen.

However, after Yelu Xizhen returned to the mountain, he built a solid fortress in Shijie Valley, to prevent the Song army from invading from Dongxing, and to prevent the people from fleeing to the Song Dynasty through Shijie Valley.

This road is temporarily dead, unless the Song army launches a strong attack on Shijiezhai.

To the north of Yingzhou is Longshou Mountain. The rest are the flat Sanggan River and Hunyuan River.

The Song army came to the city of Yingzhou and began to launch a fierce attack against Yingzhou.

There were not many Liao soldiers in the city. Although some of the troops were assisted, one of them was divided to Feihu Pass to help defend the pass. However, the Liao army occupied the city walls and the weather was cold. The Song army put on thick winter clothes and acted clumsy, so the two armies were on the city and the other under the city, in an intertwined state.

However, the Liao army suffered heavy casualties.

The Song army did not hesitate to influence the speed during this trip, but also brought a large number of siege weapons.

The only thing that was distressed was that after the defeat at Qigou Pass, many powerful weapons were obtained by the Liao Kingdom. Then Han De invited craftsmen with high salaries, and reused some soldiers who were proficient in repairing equipment among the Song army prisoners of war. He made some imitations. This led to a consequence. Although the Song Dynasty's army's siege equipment became more and more advanced, the defense power of the Liao Kingdom was also strengthened. In general, the Liao Kingdom was not very good due to its backward technology.

The result of fighting between the two sides was that there were some casualties.

After three days of bloody battle, the Song army was surprised to find that the defenders in the city became more and more braver as they fought.

After all, this is an army composed of new recruits. It is possible to fight with the wind, but it is not enough to fight against the wind. It was a good fight some time ago and the morale was high. Now it is not going well, and the casualties are getting heavier. Some soldiers are somewhat depressed.

On Longshou Mountain, Yelu Xizhen looked at the Yingzhou battlefield in the distance and said to the left and right: "It's the time."

The Song army was of great significance to drill through Feihu Pass, but then the loophole would emerge. Although this army had many troops, its combat effectiveness might not be as impressive as its military strength. Moreover, when it arrived in Yingzhou, it was far away from Shuozhou City. Even if the Song army came to rescue it, the battle would have ended long ago.

The sky is getting dusk.

With the afterglow of the evening, Yelu Xizhen could see that Song Jun, who was making fire and cooking, looked a little tired on his face.

But he hasn't moved yet.

The sky gradually became dark.

The north wind whistled, blowing on people's faces like a knife. However, Yelu Xizhen looked at the left and right, and they all had a strong expression in their eyes.

The Song army wanted to be humiliated and died, and the Liao army also had their pride. When they fought, they felt very depressed. This is morale.

For this operation, the more than 20,000 Liao soldiers behind him suffered a lot. They marched every morning and evening, and looked for hidden places to rest during the day. They rushed from Hechuan Fengchen Pupu to Sanggan River, and then dived into the vast Longshou Mountain from Sanggan River.

All I have been waiting for is this night.

Yelu Xizhen gathered his troops and said loudly: "The cowardly Song army knows that the Lord is humiliating his ministers and is going to die. Do you know?"

"I know, long live Your Majesty, Long live the Queen Mother."

"Shi Jingtang ceded the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to our Great Liao Kingdom, which was recognized by the Central Plains dynasty. However, after this Song Dynasty emperor who killed his brothers and brothers came up, he actually attacked our Liao Kingdom again and again while the orphan and widowed mother of our Liao Kingdom was about to attack us again and again. Do you want to Xuezhi for this shame?"

"Being snow!"

"The Empress Dowager works diligently and governs the country, but you see what our Great Liao has become now? The country is withered and the people are living in vain. Why is it because of the invasion of the Song people? Do you want to repay this hatred?"

"I will definitely repay it."
