"Whether it is right or wrong, the arrow is on the string and I have to make a comeback. Besides, I made a promise before Li Qing died. After I retire, everyone will comment on me."

Just one sentence, different sounds will be produced in everyone's ears.

Don’t be greedy for my credit. After the matter is over, I will completely leave the officialdom because of avoiding suspicion!

Don't be jealous of my seat, this seat will be given to you soon.

But this is also a great thing.

I definitely don’t accept it. As the prime minister, I am in the valley, and I am performing like a little monkey.

Of course, many excuses can be found, such as the cruelty mentioned by Song Jiu. For example, no one knows that the prime ministers of the two governments except Zhang Qixian, and are not in line with the system.

But people have said it, no matter whether it is a great achievement or not, they will withdraw from the officialdom. What else do they have to do?

However, in the end, some of Kou Zhun's opinions were adopted. The Tianxiong Army was stationed in Daming Mansion. Sun Quanzhao's troops could not be drawn into the two Yibei Prefectures, and they could not be moved. Originally, Sun Quanzhao had few troops in his hand, but once it was drawn away, the Liao army went south to Daming Mansion, and it could be imagined that a disaster would come.

At this time, the city of Daming not only accommodated many people, but also countless civil and military supplies, including food, grass, weapons and armor.

But Yingzhou also had to be rescued, so he distributed some troops from Beiyi Prefectures to Yingzhou, and asked Shi Pu from Mozhou to support Yingzhou with a small amount of troops.

Yingzhou cannot be thrown away. Once it is lost, the pocket will not be tied up.

However, Song Jiu, the two states of Wingbei, did not mention them, and the meaning was clear. If you can, you should keep them. If you can't keep them, you will also become victims.

After a series of orders were issued, Song Jiu's fingers trembled slightly.

Where is the charity in charge of the soldiers?

The Liao Kingdom desperately attacked Yingzhou City.

In fact, the reason is very simple. The east of Xiongzhou on the Hebei front line is the eastern part of Bazhou and Cangzhou, and there are many swamps and lakes. Later, in response to Yang Liulang's plan, countless lakes were dug and naval troops were also set up.

This road is not open.

To the west of Baozhou is the Taihang Mountains, which is the western mountain mentioned by the Song people. The terrain here is not suitable for the Liao cavalry to fight, and Feihu Pass was lost again.

In fact, the Liao Kingdom's invasion route was only in the west from the Great Wall entrance, Baozhou and Mancheng, Suicheng of the Polu Army, and Heilu Dike on the west side of Xiongzhou. This narrow plain less than 200 miles wide invaded.

But this passage was also a bit tragic for the Song Dynasty.

It may be said that the Great Wall is not the ancient Great Wall in the north. The Great Wall was built based on mountains and ridges, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. Building the Great Wall here can be done with the financial resources of the Song Dynasty. How many troops do you need to defend the city wall that is nearly 200 miles long? No matter how thick it is, you only need one person to stand in a row. If you want to stand a city wall that is two hundred miles long, you will have at least tens of thousands of troops. Besides, there are Yishui and Juma River in the north. There is no need to do much. During the flood season, you often bathe the Great Wall. Once you soak a few times, the Great Wall, which is unknown how much it costs, collapsed.

But now the Liao Kingdom is also a little bad, from the mouth of the Great Wall to Baozhou to the Polu Army. Several heavy generals are more fierce than the other.

Therefore, it is very important to tear away Yingzhou. Once Yingzhou is captured, the entire northern defense line will become a thin place, and the cavalry of the Liao Kingdom can advance or retreat.

So Xiao Yanyan and Yelu Longxu personally beat drums and cheered, attacking Yingzhou City day and night.

After the war, it was said that hundreds of arrows were inserted into the wooden boards of several inches on the city wall, and the arrows picked up in the moat alone reached more than 400,000.

The fierce battle began.

Fortunately, the Beiyi army rushed in time and entered the city before the main force of the Liao Kingdom arrived. The governor Zhao Yanwo gathered all the soldiers in the city, including the rural soldiers who brought the people to the city to take refuge, and the wing soldiers in the city, and used the encounters in Qizhou City to launch aid.

If the city is there, we are there, and your family will be there. If the city is destroyed, we will be slaughtered by the Liao people, and your family may be slaughtered.

A few words aroused the morale of the three armies.

Then let Ji inspector Shi Pu lead the soldiers to defend.

The Liao army desperately attacked the city, smashing down the city with giant stone trees prepared in advance, and even demolished the houses and smashed them down with wood.

Upon climbing to the city wall, Spur and his generals would be able to remedy wherever there was danger, and again attacked the Liao army to the city wall wall.

After attacking for more than ten days, Xiao Yanyan was stunned.

Yingzhou City is in danger, but in fact, Yingzhou was in danger from the beginning when it attacked. However, in the price of these ten days, more than 30,000 Liao soldiers died under the city wall, and almost 60,000 injured.

If you can't continue to fight, even if you conquer Yingzhou, half of the troops lost in the 300,000 Liao troops.

So he quickly withdrew, preserved his strength, and rushed towards Daming Mansion.

Then the arrogant Xiao Yanyan did something for the first time, please do it.

Zhao Heng received a letter from a man in the capital, Wang Jizhong. Because of the role of scout, Zhao Heng did not make a mistake that he thought Wang Jizhong died in battle. After Xiao Yanyan captured Wang Jizhong, he treated Wang Jizhong very well and was promoted to the official position, and granted a beautiful woman from a Khitan tribe his wife. In this case, there were three choices. One was to be as heroic as Yang Ye and Wen Tianxiang and never surrendered. However, there were very few people who could do this, so they were respected by future generations and called great existences. Secondly, like Zhang Yuanhong Chengchou and Wang Jingwei, he immediately surrendered, and then took the lead in order to be loyal.

The barbarians madly massacred the people of the same tribe. There are quite a few. Most of Guo Jing's master Qiu Chuji was also such a person. Although he did not directly aim his butcher knife at his compatriots, when Yuan Meng attacked Khwarezm, Qiu Chuji saw Genghis Khan and said, "I follow the laws of heaven, and the angels dare not violate them." This is not his person, but ours, and Yuan Meng, which vaguely means that the Southern Song Dynasty is no longer able to do it. Mongolia is the law of heaven to take over the world. So Yuan Meng gradually shifted his attention from West Asia to the Central Plains. Why do you do this? Preach.

There is another type of people, such as Zhou Zuoren and Wang Wei. The integrity is precious and the life price is higher. Wang Jizhong was helpless and life is precious. In addition, Xiao Yanyan was good to him, so he surrendered. I believe this is the choice of most people, but he had an essential difference with Zhang Yuan and others. Although he surrendered to the Liao Kingdom, he would not take the lead in leading the Liao Kingdom to the Song Dynasty and hurt the people of the Song Dynasty.

Therefore, Xiao Yanyan and the Song Dynasty repeatedly proposed to reconcile.

After receiving some news from him, Zhao Heng was not a tragic master, and he would not do anything about Emperor Wu of Han to Li Ling's family. Moreover, Wang Jizhong was an old man in his vassal residence and even gave him several sons to his official position.

In the letter, Wang Jizhong took the initiative to admit his failure in the battle of Yu Wangdu. He did not blame Zhou Ying or Wang Chao. Then he explained the significance of peace talks and said that Xiao Yanyan and the emperor of Liao Kingdom wanted to discuss peace talks for the sake of the people of both countries.

This letter split the Song Dynasty ministers.

The reason is very simple. Whether it is Li Jilong and his subordinates in the south or Lei Youzhong's subordinates in the middle, they are still on the road.

Moreover, after they arrive, they cannot enter the battle. After all, some walk more than a thousand miles, while some walk more than two thousand miles. After they arrive, they must have a rest for a while before they can recover their combat effectiveness.

However, the entire north was covered with hundreds of thousands of Liao cavalry, and they completely lost contact with the Hebei border news. There was even news that all the Yingbei Yi and other states were trapped.

It's good to be peaceful.

There are still not many people who know the truth. Last time, Song Jiu was forced to tell the truth in the Political Affairs Hall. However, there are only a dozen officials who can discuss matters in the Political Affairs Hall. They are all the top important officials of the Song Dynasty. No matter how much resentment or support Song Jiu's actions are, they dare not disclose such a big thing. At least these ministers have not yet ignored the destruction of the country in order to combat political enemies.

Therefore, other ministers do not know the truth. More people agree to peace talks.

The main reason is that the news of the Yingzhou victory has not arrived.

Listening to everyone's discussion, Song Jiu suddenly opened his eyes and asked, "The Liao Kingdom is coming in a fierce manner. In the past, the late emperor and His Majesty asked for peace and disagreed many times. Why did they take the initiative to peace and ask for peace while having the advantage?"

This is a problem.

Zhao Heng said: "Why?"

"There are two situations. They were severely injured in Hebei and were worried about failure. So they forced His Majesty to negotiate peace, get benefits, and withdraw troops in time to return to the country. The second possibility is to confuse us, weaken our courage, and agree to peace talks, then we will be unprepared, and the soldiers will not have the confidence to fight bloody battles. Then after the troops arrived at Daming Mansion and captured Daming Mansion, the army arrived at the Yellow River, and the coldest moment was immediately reached. The Yellow River was frozen, and the Liao army cavalry could calmly cross the Yellow River. The country was in danger."

What was Xiao Yanyan's thought at that time? This became a mystery, but Song Jiu came up with a compromise: "It would be better if peace talks are discussed, but if you want to make peace, everyone must show some sincerity. If you want to make a ten counties in Guannan, you will definitely not agree. If you throw away the ten counties in Guannan, you will easily rush to the Yellow River at any time. That is undoubtedly the way to destroy the country. Therefore, we cannot agree to ask for land. If you want money, you can talk about it."

Zhao Heng's first title.

This also blocked the mouths of the civil officials who were greedy for life and feared death.

However, Song Jiu sneered in his heart, if you want peace, then discuss peace and see who is confused whom.

Then Wang Jiying recommended Cao Yong to discuss peace.

This was a humiliating scene, and Kou Zhun was so angry that he bit his teeth.

But this is also the darkest moment before dawn.

However, Cao used his position in Daming Mansion and asked Wang Qinruo and Sun Quanzhao to stop him.

Daming Mansion is also fighting bloody battles. No matter what Wang Qinruo's mentality is, he has made great contributions.

The Liao army forced the Daming Mansion. The Song Dynasty was worried and decided to send an important official to the Daming Mansion. Kou Zhun said, "It's best if you join the politics of Wang." Wang Qinruo's face turned blue, but he still resolutely went to the most dangerous frontline."

And he did something when he arrived at Daming Mansion, which was his strong trust in Sun Quanzhao.

Only when generals and ministers are harmonious will the world prosper. Only when civil and military affairs are harmonious can we achieve success.

Hundreds of thousands of Liao troops came over. You should know that the Tianxiong army in Daming Prefecture really had not many troops, otherwise Kou Zhun would not have said that the force might be less than 10,000. Then he could only imitate Li Yanwo's approach in Yingzhou, gather all the township soldiers and wing soldiers, and even initiate Ding Zhuang as temporary soldiers to prepare for defense.

Moreover, Wang Qinruo also knew the truth. Not to mention peace, peace should be negotiated slowly. If it is a war, the main forces of the Liao army must be attracted to Daming Prefecture, or even the city of Chanzhou, so that they can only be tied in their pockets at that time. This means that before this, Daming Prefecture can only fight alone.

So at this time, Wang Qinruo forced Cao Yong to detain him, and Daming Mansion was in danger immediately. The soldiers were fighting desperately. Do you represent the court to negotiate peace and make the soldiers still have the confidence to fight?

The Liao army is coming soon.

Wang Qinruo allocated this miscellaneous army and assigned the city gates they guarded. The method was very fair, and he was able to explore the talisman (catch the castration).

Sun Quanzhao did not disappoint his trust and said, "I have been a general for generations, so I will not explore the talismans. You can choose whatever you want, and the remaining soldiers and city gates are mine."

So Sun Quanzhao took on the burden of the North City Gate.

The front is allocated and the Liao army is killed behind.

However, when they came to the north city gate, they saw a strange scene. The city gate was wide open, the suspension bridge fell on the ropes, and no soldier's shadow was seen.

Xiao Yanyan stood strangely where she was, and after a long time, she asked who was the chief general of the North City Gate.

The scout reported that it was Sun Quanzhao.

This name is so familiar, especially when he crossed the sea to the Yalu River, and he deliberately asked his subordinates to dye the powerful crossbow bright red, shooting countless holes on the Liao army again and again. In the eyes of the Liao people, his fame is even greater than that of Wei Neng.

After thinking about it, it would be better for this person not to be confused, so he turned to attack the East Gate.

The Song soldiers of the East Gate were very depressed. It was so easy to fight the North Gate. Just rush inside. However, the Liao Kingdom did not fight, but hit our East Gate. However, after a day of bloody battle, Xiao Yanyan was full of disappointment, and it seemed that the story of Yingzhou was staged again.

So he changed to the old city of Daming Mansion at night, but he did not succeed. However, when he arrived here, Xiao Yanyan had more choices, so he attacked the nearby Deqing army with great fanfare. The Deqing army city was just south of Daming Mansion, not far away, and was on the edge of the Yellow River. Once the Deqing army city was lost, the contact between Daming Mansion and the capital city would be interrupted and he was successfully isolated by the Liao army.

Wang Qinruo had no choice but to send the only regular imperial guard in the city, the Tianxiong Army.

However, as soon as Tianxiong's army left the city, it was surrounded by the ambush troops of the Liao Kingdom.

Seeing that the Tianxiong Army might be wiped out, Sun Quanzhao said to Wang Qinruo: "If Tianxiong Army is lost, Daming Mansion will be lost in a blink of an eye. You can immediately send someone to take over the North City Gate."

After saying that, he took his men out of the city to meet Tianxiong's army.

After a bloody battle, Tianxiong Army was brought back by Sun Quanzhao, but only 300% of the troops were left. However, in the dark, the Liao army ignored them. Since this plan was not successful, then attack the Deqing Army City with all its strength. That night, the Deqing Army City was broken, and the Liao Kingdom did something that was angry and resentful, massacring tens of thousands of soldiers and civilians in the city, not even letting go of the baby.
