Song Jiu knew that Xiao Yanyan would definitely start fighting, so he didn't know when it would start fighting.

But the Gang of Four made a big fuss in Kaifeng, which reminded Song Jiu.

Why is this happening? If you analyze it carefully, you will have a certain background. For example, the Gang of Four...

Not that Gang of Four, that one is even more awesome.

The first reason is that Zhao Kuangyi quickly appointed a newcomer, and even Song Jiu was a little jealous. Zhao Pu and Li Chongju and others were not counted, they were founding heroes. Then, who had really climbed up over the years, the first Lu Duoxun and the second Song Jiu. Lu Duoxun became an Hainanese, and only Song Jiu was the only one. Think about how much credit Song Jiu climbed to this position. But what about Lu Mengzheng and others? This made some self-talented people feel impetuous.

The second reason is that the people are all.

So Hu Dan played the bad family, but was Hu Dan a poor family? No, he was a child of a small official and had nothing to do with the poor family.

Zhao Kuangyi implemented some policies to take care of poor families. In fact, since Chai Rong, he began to promote some policies to take care of poor families. For example, the main household pays taxes, which has nothing to do with the tenants. No matter what the result is after implementation.

It’s just that Zhao Kuangyi’s execution is more thorough.

Song Jiu took over the Sansi last year and did not take care of any poor family. He just traded taxes. He did not care about business, nor did he care about anyone doing business, but he had to pay taxes. Of course, he could not ask about the execution result.

After the incident of the Gang of Four, Song Jiu was thinking about this issue. In fact, Zhao Kuangyi and Song Jiu did not think too seriously before. They just rely on their intuition, doing so will reduce the many contradictions arising from the unevenness of the rich and the poor.

But some people have noticed it in history. For example, Ouyang Xiu, Big and Small Su. They were all favored by the policy of the Song Dynasty and gradually gained power. However, after they got to power, they discovered a terrible truth. No matter what policy the country implements, they are still controlled by wealthy families and powerful families. I am a poor family, which means that poor families and powerful families are fighting each other, which is seeking death. Therefore, they quickly turned against each other and regarded themselves as new powerful people. Some even became staunch opponents of Wang Anshi's reform.

But Song Jiu is different.

After all, he has seen more systems.

Then think seriously about it, which country and system can achieve true fairness? Or can poor families stand on the same line of competition with the powerful? As a result, when I think about it, I was speechless. No country did the right thing, all tricks to comfort the people. So I am afraid it is the American imperialists. Do they really treat each other fairly, regardless of wealth or poor, no matter how rich or poor they are? No.

If so, it can only be in the mind of a Thomas, or in a fantasy novel he wrote called Utopia, fantasy, but not science fiction, but a fantasy world where impossible is realized.

But Hu Dan's incident means that many people have noticed the problem of this poor family and the Qi people, and have also tried to use it to gain power.

Therefore, Song Jiu and Zhao Kuangyi had a patient conversation.

Of course, if the equalization of wealth and poverty is implemented, it would be terrible. However, in the end of the historical feudal dynasty, with the stability of the country, one powerful group will be stable. Annexation will become more and more serious, not only will it occupy the interests of the poor people, but it will even occupy the national interests. The simplest example is the Ming Dynasty. Isn’t the Ming Dynasty rich, but the country’s income? Didn’t Chongzhen want to save the victims in Shaanxi? However, will there be countless food and money in the treasury like the Song Dynasty?

Therefore, Song Jiu asked Zhao Kuangyi to deliberately meet some good households, promote positive moral values, and encourage wealthy families to do more good deeds, such as helping poor people, building bridges and roads, establishing charity schools, or adopting widowed orphans.

Furthermore, we must carefully plan the commercial tax and prohibit the powerful and powerful businessmen from using their rights to evade tax.

Finally, it is a clear edict to stipulate that tyrants and powerful people in various places shall not commit crimes, or use some illegal means to merge civilian arable land, houses and other property to oppose usury, especially literati and officials and generals shall not issue usury of any kind, otherwise they shall be severely punished.

Of course, the results of the execution are still the same.

However, putting these clauses in the Song Dynasty will have a certain deterrent effect and further reduce national conflicts.

Zhao Kuangyi agreed.

Then he called Zhao Pu to discuss, and Zhao Pu was a little displeased. If that were the case, his family would be the first to be affected. However, Zhao Kuangyi could not make it clear that these rules were just to make them explicitly enacted in the edicts and laws, and issued them to the world, but they would not be implemented immediately, and were only regarded as one of the guidelines for handling disputes in the future of the Song Dynasty.

Zhao Pu was not easy to object, so he could only agree.

Song Jiu didn't want to execute it immediately. His role was to open the window and wait for later people to walk in...

...

Before Cao Bin fled Zhuozhou, he asked Lu Bin to escort the people of Zhuozhou to lure the enemy, so Lu Bin had to be cannon fodder.

But Yelu Xiuge was not fooled. Without caring about his army, Lu Bin was not stupid. Seeing the Liao army pounced on Qigou Pass together, he thought about it and knew that it must have been a great defeat. So he fled back in a hurry regardless of the people of Zhuozhou.

Zhao Kuangyi interrogated and learned the truth, but he did not blame him. He transferred him to Shaanxi Ren Yongju Army and Huazhou inspectors to capture the two peasant uprising leaders of the peasant uprising army that gave Fan Gao a headache. In fact, they were two big thieves like Song Jiang, who were like the ones who were brave enough to commit crimes everywhere.

But there were still Song troops in Zhuozhou.

The Song Dynasty began to think that their entire army was wiped out. In fact, the Liao Kingdom had not taken it back, but it did not let the Song army in Zhuozhou communicate with the outside world. It was blocked and placed there.

Because there were too many people who died, and the Song Dynasty still didn't know who was the leader in the city. It only knew that there were some people who used the food and weapons left by Cao Bin to persevere and persevere. However, everyone had no way to save them, so they treated them as martyrs regardless of whether they were alive or not.

But it was this surviving Song army!

In September, Xiao Yanyan came to Youzhou and publicly fortunately, Han Delang lived together in the tent. The two were inseparable, and there were thousands of guards, more than 300 female slaves from the Han Delang and the husband. He also asked the ministers to enter Han Delang's tent to share their friends and land.

It is said that that day was Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang who secretly performed a husband-and-wife ceremony, and then he happily called the minister into the tent to play with Doubleland and drink and have fun.

Moreover, after more than a year of rest and rest, the situation in the Liao Kingdom also improved slightly. After all, Xiao Yanyan and Han Delang were both masters of governing the country. They stopped the rebellion and quelled it. There was another place. But everyone automatically forgot it, just like the Song Dynasty's attitude towards Jiaozhi. It was too far away and could not threaten the safety of the Liao Kingdom. If possible, they would be wiped out. However, the Song Dynasty was unstable and could not be distracted. Unless Wu Xuanming led his troops to attack Tongzhou again, threatening the wealthy Liaoning area.

Xiao Yanyan married the handsome man Han Derang, who was very happy. It was the time when it was cold and she could go south.

The army headed south.

The strongest Liao army. Once, Xiao Yanyan and Liao Shengzong and Han Derang were on the front line in person, Yelu Xiuge and Yelu Xizhen were in charge of the battle, with more than 100,000 troops!

First there was Zhuozhou City.

First shoot the silk book to make the Song soldiers in the city surrender. Okay, you have been defending your small lonely army until now, and you are worthy of your country and your emperor, so you can surrender.

The Song soldiers in the city refused to listen.

So in early October, the troops were siege the city from all directions.

But this lonely soldier was very tenacious in resistance. Although the Liao army finally broke through the city, the casualties were very heavy, and the Grand Tutor Xiao Talin and the Prince-Confucian Xiao Qinde were both shot. Xiao Qinde was seriously injured, and the young emperor of the Liao Kingdom hurriedly sent him back to the hospital with an imperial cart.

After taking Zhuozhou, he seized Shaduiyi and defeated the Song army at Langshan and at Yijin Pass. In just half a month, the Song army that was almost wiped out. On the sixth day of the winter month, the Liao army attacked the Great Wall entrance, and the Dingzhou garrison Li Xing rescued him. He was repelled by Yelu Xiuge. Yelu Xizhen surrendered, but the Song army at the Great Wall entrance did not surrender, so he broke through the Great Wall entrance and killed all the pits.

Zhao Kuangyi said to Song Jiu, you have changed.

It has changed. How could Song Jiu remain unchanged in the face of the cruel means of the Liao Kingdom? Or this is the true meaning of war!

Next is something that makes Xiao Yanyan happy.

Mancheng, which has always been regarded as a dangerous place by the Liao army, was also captured by the Liao army. Tears of joy flashed in Xiao Yanyan's eyes. It was because of the shame of Mancheng that her authentic husband was addicted to hunting after returning to China and indulged in hunting. Otherwise, why did he die young and put the heavy responsibility of the empire on her, a woman?

After breaking through the city, the Liao** team, which had marched from multiple directions, was still in a state of power. First, Qizhou was captured by the Liao Kingdom after more than a year. The troops plundered.

However, this time it was not as full as last time. Under the guidance of Song Jiu, most people migrated to the rear of the Hutuo River. For example, most people in northern Qizhou migrated to Gucheng, but there were also some people who were unwilling to leave their homes, and the court was not willing to force them. Moreover, some soldiers' farming, breeding, and family members of the soldiers were all damaged this time. Then they attacked Yizhou and Liu Ji, the commander of Yizhou, held the city and defended the city, and the Song army in Suicheng came to rescue. The Tielin Army, the strongest team of the Liao Empire, went to fight and drove away the reinforcements. The siege of the city successfully attacked the reinforcements, and Liu Ji surrendered.

Although it is not a mistake, this is a very bad signal.

Until now, there are wins and defeats, and even all the troops are wiped out, but no important figure like the magistrate surrenders.

Then Xinle Xiaolang Mountain and other forts fell into the hands of the Liao army one after another.

At this time, the advantages and disadvantages of forts also emerged. In a sense, they can play a role in delaying the enemy's military fronts. Moreover, with the emergence of various new weapons, every time a fort is taken, as long as the guards are not afraid of death, they will cause the Liao Kingdom to suffer a toothache.

The disadvantages are also: the troops are scattered, not the Great Wall. They are connected together. Although they can play some joint defense role, the joint defense is not closely linked.

If the construction is less, it cannot stop the Liao army from moving south. If it is built more, the troops will be insufficient, so the troops will be more dispersed.

Of course, now Song Jiu finally realized the biggest drawbacks in Fan Zhongyan’s fort tactics. How to improve them will make Song Jiu very troubled in the future.

The war continues.

Until now, the Song army has suffered little casualties. The main force is in Dingzhou, with many people, more than 10,000 Song army.

So Xiao Yanyan called out to the strongest general of Liao Kingdom Yelu Xiuge, the Song army was many, and the Liao Kingdom also wanted to give Yelu Xiuge more troops.

Not too many, only 80,000 soldiers...

And Yelu Xiuge selected 30,000 cavalry from the Imperial Guards Pisch Army, Orune Army, Han Derang Guards, and the proud heavy armored cavalry regiment of the Liao Kingdom, to form the most powerful 80,000 iron cavalry on the grassland, and rushed towards Dingzhou like wind and thunder.

In mid-November, Yelu Xiuge's 80,000 elite cavalry arrived on the north bank of the Tang River.

Li Jilong set up an ambush in Tanghe, but was soon discovered by the clever Yelu Xiuge, so he sent his generals Yelu Nugua and Yelu Molugu to lead 10,000 troops to force these ambush without a place to hide. He had to walk out of the dark and turn to the open to fight against the Liao army.

Li Jilong stood on the north bank of the Tang River and saw that his subordinates were in danger, he sent a fierce general Jing Si to lead a cavalry to rescue him.

The lonely army was fighting around among the enemy, which was Jing Si’s specialty.

When Tian Chongjin said it before, Song Jiu didn't believe it very much. It was not until after the war that Li Jilong also said it, Song Jiu believed it, and couldn't help but say with emotion that the gods, Guan Yu and Zhang Yun are all floating clouds. It was almost said that even Yang Linggong was floating clouds.

Jing Si led the cavalry toward the encirclement of the Liao army like a storm. He was right in front, and no one was his enemy. Even Li Jilong was almost stunned in the telescope. In just a short while, the Liao army made him break into a gap, and the two armies met. Continue to kill, and lead the ambush army to kill outward. The Liao army still could not stop it, so he made another gap and rescued the ambush army.

But Jing Si is not stupid either. This is the strongest Liao army of 80,000, and the strongest general Yelu Xiuge. Just rescue him and retreat.

Yelu Xiuge was so angry that this undoubtedly more or less hit the morale of his subordinates. So he personally commanded tens of thousands of Liao troops to pursue him. Jing Si fought and retreated, and actually led the two Song troops, which were less than a thousand troops, to calmly retreat from the Tanghe Bridge to the south bank of the river.

Li Jilong also woke up and immediately ordered reinforcements to send to respond, and then led the Song army to retreat into Dingzhou City.

Yelu Xiuge also went straight to the city of Dingzhou.

Military newspapers like snowflakes flew into the capital.

Zhao Kuangyi said he could not understand, so many troops came from the Liao Kingdom? Just like the Song Dynasty, it has recruited many new impeachment soldiers and even took the initiative to evacuate with Song Jiu. Some of the brave village soldiers and militias converted into impeachment soldiers, but the total force has not yet recovered to the peak of 340,000, which is not even enough for 300,000.

Song Jiu explained that everyone in Liao was a soldier.

But the Liao Kingdom could not have a million troops. If it draws to a certain extent, the country will be in chaos.

In fact, until now, more than 100,000 soldiers from the Liao Kingdom were buried in the hands of the Song army. The people did not let the Song Dynasty ruin it, but many migrated to the Song territory.

When the casualties reach a certain point and Xiao Yanyan still insists on fighting, the Liao Kingdom will automatically collapse.

However, Zhao Kuangyi felt unsure, so he learned from the tragic lesson of the Junzi Pavilion and issued an edict to let the soldiers of each battalion rely on the city to defend themselves and not fight with the Liao army. If you can fight, you can fight with the city and you will never go out of the city to fight with the Liao army.

Song Jiuyan was silent.

The main Liao army had too many troops, and Song Jiu was not sure, so he agreed to Zhao Kuangyi's edict.

Lin Yanshou came to Dingzhou City with an edict, which was when Yelu Xiuge's army arrived at Dingzhou City.

Li Jilong looked at the edict and had two choices before him. One was to defend Dingzhou. It was already a miracle that the Liao army had captured the city. If it weren't for Liu Ji's fear of surrendering to death, it would be bigger than the city and might not have been able to break it. If he wanted to break Dingzhou, it would be even more impossible. I believe that the court would not blame it after the war.

There is another option, that is, to defeat this Liao army.

Song Jiu said something to him, but he did not make it clear, but Li Jilong understood the meaning. He was intentionally cultivating him and making him the number one general of the Song Dynasty. However, before becoming the number one general of the Song Dynasty, he had to fight and even defeat the number one general of the Liao army, Yelu Xiuge, on the front battlefield.
