On the 10th of the month, Wanyan Zonghan defeated Xi Wangxia with a partial army and finally fell in Bei'anzhou. On the 10th of the month, Emperor Tianzuo left Datong Prefecture and continued to flee to Baishuibo. Wanyan Zonghan, who was stationed in Bei'anzhou, sent an envoy to ask the commander Wanyan Xie to quickly hunt him down. Xie also refused to go deeper with the imperial edict of Jin Taizu. However, he could not withstand the aura of the younger generation such as Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Zonggan, and finally sent troops to Baishuibo.

On the 7th, Emperor Tianzuo had to leave Baishuipo and continue to escape. The target he chose this time was cruel: Jiashan! This is a real primeval forest. Even with the primitive level of the Jurchens, he dared not go deep alone. The pursuit finally came to an end...

When he fled into Jiashan, Yelu Yanxi seemed to have learned his mind and scolded Xiao Fengxian, "You father and son have misled me here! It is useless to kill you now. But if you follow me again, the matter of Yang Guozhong will inevitably repeat itself. At that time, I will be implicated by you. Get out of here." Xiao Fengxian dismounted and cried and left. After leaving Jiashan, he was captured by the Jin army. The eldest son Xiao Ang was killed on the spot. Xiao Fengxian and the second son Xiao Yu were taken to the capital of the Jin Kingdom, but were robbed by the Liao soldiers halfway. This time, Emperor Tianzuo issued an order: behead him and showed him public!

Later, Yelu Yanxi expelled Privy Councillor Xiao Delidi for the crime of being a third treacherous minister and accomplice (later captured by the Jin army and fled back. At this time, Yelu Chun had already proclaimed himself emperor. Xiao Delidi sighed and said, "I can't serve as the king who is a usurper" and then went on a hunger strike and died)

When Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi fled to Yuanyangbo, he left part of the army, a complete government leadership team, plus a king in Xijin Prefecture (i.e. Youzhou). The king was the grandson of Yelu Zongzhen of Emperor Xingzong of Liao, the uncle of Yelu Yanxi of Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi, and the king of Qin and Jin. When the Liao Dynasty was facing the destruction of the country, he was abandoned and threw it into the gap between the Jin and Song dynasties. In theory, he was destined to die without a doubt? But it was him who left the only remaining little dignity to the Liao Kingdom! At this time, his army was not large, only 60,000 to 70,000 people. There were two Han prime ministers, Prime Minister Zhang Lin, and the deputy chief political affairs Li Chuwen. There was a wife, Xiao Puxian. There was also a great figure, named Yelu Dashi!

After the legal emperor fled into the primeval forest, what should I do if the richest and most civilized Yanyun 16 states in the Great Liao Kingdom? All the ministers, military leaders, and common people came to Yelu Chun and told him a historical story: During the Anshi Rebellion, when Emperor Xuanzong of Tang entered Sichuan to take refuge, he left his son Li Heng. Finally, Li Heng came to Lingwu, and was supported by everyone, ascended the throne and became Emperor Suzong of Tang, and respected Emperor Xuanzong of Tang as the Supreme Emperor. In the end, the two capitals were recovered and the Tang Dynasty was rebuilt! In a word: Yelu Chun, you should be Li Heng! Although you are 60 years old, one year older than Yelu Yanxi, you are still Yelu Yanxi's uncle! But before the disaster, you are Li Heng!

In 11, 60-year-old Yelu Chun was elected as Emperor Tianxi, while Emperor Tianzuo Yelu Yanxi was demoted to the King of Xiangyin. All officials were awarded the title of Zhang Lin as the Grand Tutor, Li Chuwen as the Grand Magistrate. His wife was Concubine Xiao De. The name of the resentful army was changed to the Changsheng Army, and the military was fully responsible for Yelu Dashi!

Yelu Chun's appointment was rushed, even illegal, and his term was short, and he died in a month, but he left a very powerful mark in history. In memory of him, history books called his regime the "Northern Liao" and the Liao Kingdom officially split! The Northern Liao Empire was dominated by Nanjing Road, Xijing Road, Shangjing Road and Tokyo Road in western Liaoning (of course: the so-called Shangjing Road, Tokyo Road is only nominal), while the Great Liao Empire in Yelu Yanxi only had a desert and northwest, and the southwest was just a recruitment of the prefectures.

After becoming emperor, Yelu Chun immediately sent an envoy to ask for peace with the Jin Dynasty. The commander of the Jin army, Wanyan Xie, certainly did not admit that the sudden emergence of the "Northern Liao" he asked Yelu Chun to surrender. After the surrender, his official position was left behind by Yanjing, the Great Jin Dynasty. Yelu Chun sent an envoy to request the preservation of the ancestral temple. He was also sternly rejected by Wanyan Xie! Yelu Chun sent an envoy directly to meet the Jin Dynasty's Taizu Wanyan Aguda to ask for peace. Wanyan Aguda returned the imperial edict, "You, Liao's close subordinates, are in power. If you cannot survive and die with the country, you can steal the lonely city and call it a big title. If you do not surrender, you will regret it."

But in fact, the biggest crisis facing Northern Liao at this time was not the Jin Kingdom, but the Song Dynasty, a country of friendship for generations. When Northern Liao was founded, it was the time when the Song Dynasty destroyed the Fang La Uprising and Tong Guan was appointed as the Xuanfu Envoy of Hebei and Hedong Road, preparing for the Northern Expedition!

This was a god-given opportunity for the Song Dynasty. The situation was unexpectedly good, and even the previous mistakes could be made up. In the previous maritime alliance, Zhao Ji made a big mistake and made the geography of Yanyun 16 states wrong, resulting in the Jin people only agreeing to transfer a small part of the land. Now the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, Yelu Yanxi, ran all the way, leading the main force of the Jin army to the depths of the grassland. Now the 16 states of Yanyun are from the Northern Liao Dynasty, and the Jin soldiers don’t care at all! As long as the troops are sent quickly, no matter what the Jin Kingdom is or the Jin Kingdom, they will take the opportunity to grab it. The contract we negotiated before is a piece of waste paper!

Therefore, in the 11th month of the establishment of Yelu Chun, Tong Guan led 150,000 Western Song troops out of Kaifeng again! Adding to the original border guards, the military strength could reach at least more than 00,000! In any aspect, it was enough to overwhelm the Northern Liao army! Moreover, the Khitans were no longer possessed at this time and had been scared long ago. What's more, the Yanyun area was mainly Han people. Since ancient times, the Han people have had super strong centripetal force, and they will take the initiative to help the Song army recover their hometown!

At this point when the pre-war analysis reached this point, Zhao Ji was also interested. He specially approved Tong Guan to characterize this military operation - Tong Aiqing. I have three requirements: 1 The best ending is to call on the Han people to restore their hometowns, and we will automatically obtain the entire Yanyun territory. It is okay to let the Liao people maintain their autonomy, but Yelu Chun must pay the money to be a vassal and become a minister of the Song Dynasty. If it is not possible, you can take the army to patrol the border and wait for the opportunity on the border... The so-called timing means waiting for the main force of the Jin army to come back from the depths of the grassland, and then the north and south will attack Yanyun will be defeated! But it is difficult for the Song Dynasty to get benefits!

So the eunuch Tong was very confused... The situation required a quick battle and a quick decision, but the emperor put forward three requirements. Each point seemed very reasonable. But think about it carefully: 1. Calling on the Han people? When Zhao Guangyi went on an expedition to Yanyun, the Han people really surrendered. But Han De still asked such Han people to defend Youzhou City to the death. More than 140 years have passed. Can the Han people be surrendered? Let Yelu Chun take the money to be called a vassal? Good idea! But what if people bargain? This is going to be the year of the Monkey Horse Month? In just a month, the Jin army will be in place immediately. Everything was too late at that time! He was speechless. At this point, he must have been rejected for surrender. The war was ineffective, and it became a stalemate. Is it meaningful to mention the military patrol team? These four words are to show off their power and be a means of Wang Hou playing on the Xixia border after taking Xihe Road!

But this is the emperor's order! Tong Guan must abide by it! Of course, he can't accept the order of the king again, but be careful that he has had a criminal record. No matter how he is disobedient, even if he wins a battle, he will not have a good result! He is entangled and entangled... Was he listened to the emperor or the situation? Eunuch Tong was urging the army to rush to Yanyun in trouble! There was still a series of entanglements waiting for him...

In April, the fourth road of the Great Liao Kingdom - Xijing Road was captured by the Jin army! Tong Guan, Tong Guan, Yan Yun's "cloud" is gone, do you have to wait for "Yan" to slip away from your hands? In that way, where do you yearn for the title of the God of War, where does your king come from?

At the same time as Xijing Road fell, A Shu, the leader of the Heshilie tribe, was captured by the Jin army. Logically speaking, it was because of him that the Jin people raised an army, opposed Liao, and founded the country! He was the biggest enemy of the Jurchens! He was far more than Yelu Yanxi, Emperor Tianzuo of the Great Liao Dynasty! From Ying Ge, to Wuyashu, and then to Aguda, he asked him many times, and he wanted him back and killed him! Then now he was really caught back. How would Wanyan Aguda treat him? Answer: He beat him up after a stick and then let him go! Later, when the Jin people saw A Shu, they asked "Who are you?" A Shu's answer was only one word, "I, defeat the Liao ghost."

The head coach of the Jin army, Wanyan Xie, also sent Aguda's third son Wanyan Zongwang to return to his country to report victory. On May 4, Zongwang saw his father Jin Taizu "now Tokyo, Shangjing, Zhongjing, and Xijing four roads have already taken over me. Yelu Chun established himself in Nanjing Road. Yelu Yanxi fled into the deep mountains and forests. The newly surrendered people have not yet firmly determined. Therefore, the generals hope that Your Majesty will come to Zhongjing in person." Jin Taizu agreed.

At this time, Tong Guan finally arrived at the northern border of the Song Empire and began to inspect strategic personnel and supplies. He didn't know if he didn't see it, but he really beat his heart. Heshuo area, which has been known to have been strong since ancient times, was actually in a vacuum state of military supplies? Heshuo's army has done nothing for 118 years since the Battle of Chanyuan! If the city is broken, it is not repaired, and it is afraid that the Liao people will be suspicious. If the river pond is dry, it will not divert water, and it is afraid that the Liao people will be unhappy. If the soldiers are old, they will not replace new soldiers, and they will be nervous... Now, the regular army has no quality and is not much better than the militia!

The military rations were sufficient, but when I opened the warehouse, I saw that they were all old! I removed the skin and couldn’t even have half left!

Ordnance? Some of them were transported from Taiyuan, Daming, Kaide and other places urgently. Not to mention the quantity, they all depend on the quality of them all!

What else is the battle? Tong Guan was on the front line of Gaoyang Pass, and he was so troubled that he wanted to hit the wall! There was nothing! Should he be promoted from the Western Front again? What should he do if the Xixia people suddenly came over after taking the time to fight in the northwest?

What is even more tangled is the personnel. This time Tong Guan brought all famous generals. Tong Guan's deputy general was Liu Guangshi's father Liu Yanqing. The main combat force below was divided into two branches. One was a legendary figure in the Western Army, the third generation of the Zhong Family Army, Zong Ji's son Zhong Shidao. The other was Xin Xingzong who "captured" Fang La alive. This man was a striking figure in the Western Army of the Song Dynasty! Especially Zhong Shidao, his sharpness had surpassed the son of the famous general Wang Shao, and he regained Wang Hou from Hehuang again and became the flag of the Western Army!

Xiao Chong's reputation was fought in the Battle of Zangdihe 7 years ago! Zangdihe was a fortress built by the Xixia people in the northwest of the Baoan Army in the northwest of the Song Dynasty. For many years, the Song Dynasty had been using fort construction tactics to erode the Western Xia. The Xixia people were forced to do the same thing and also played the same trick on the border of the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty became popular immediately and sent two aces Wang Hou, Liu Zhongwu gathered four armies of Jingyuan, Fuyan, Huanqing, and Qin Feng to siege. What is the difficulty in taking down a newly built small army city? But the facts were shocking! With Wang Hou swept over Tubo, destroying countless powers of the city, and with all the elite forces of the Song Dynasty's Western Army, the small Zangdihe City could not be defeated, and nearly half of the Zangdihe Army!

The unprecedented losses shocked Kaifeng City. This time, the people of the Song Dynasty also tasted the pain of the Xixia people! It was too difficult to attack the city and the cost was too high! But if they could not be defeated, the people of the Xixia would press forward step by step and build the fortress to the hinterland of the Song Dynasty!

The second wave of attacks in the Song Dynasty was led by Tong Guan himself, with Zhong Shidao and Yao Gu as the main combat force, gathering the Zong family army, and the Yao family army had 100,000 troops to attack Zangdihe City again! Kaifeng issued a death order: it must be taken down for 10 days!

Zangdihe City became a meat stirrer! It was in this war that the reputation of the Zhong family army reached its peak! Zhong Shidao's toughness and ruthlessness made both the enemy and us frightened. After 8 days of attack, a general of the Song army was really exhausted. He found a Hu bed and sat for a while. He was seen by Zhong Shidao. Zhong Shidao was furious and beheaded the man on the spot! The body was hung in front of the gate and ordered the entire army to: a limited time of one day. If you can't take Zangdihe City, you are all like this person!

Zangdihe City fell that day...

A general became famous and his bones were bleak. Xiaozhong's husband was famous and shocked the Northwest! How many powerful generals were so suitable to fight against the Northern and Liao? Unfortunately, Zhong Shidao did not cooperate. He publicly said that his neighbor's house was thieves, so we did not help, but instead took advantage of the situation to rob. This is really unreasonable. I don't want to do it!

Is the military morale so entangled? There are too many difficulties, almost all-round, which makes eunuch Tong feel unsure. But then he thought: What is his small problem compared to Yelu Chun in Youzhou City? At most he is entangled. Yelu Chun is very desperate? Then he will do it, advance!

Before the formal Northern Expedition, Tong Guan issued an imperial edict in the name of the emperor: "If any heroes can come to Yanjing, they will be eliminated." At the same time, they fought for the people from all directions, hoping to have a peaceful liberation.

History has proved that this matter was a failure. The Han people lost Yanyun 16 Prefectures for 186 years, and even the strongest bloodline was diluted. Born and raised here, the Khitans gave Han people equal rights and lived a good life. Why do you suddenly appear and say hello to fellow villagers and follow you to rebel? For the Han people in Youzhou area, Tong Guan was not here to liberate, they were the return group that was late for 186 years. Except for a very few people who expressed their welcome, no one paid any attention. On the contrary, many Han people reported to Yelu Chun: There were enemy spies!

Therefore, the role of the family offensive launched by Zhao Ji was to warn the Northern Liao in advance. At this time, Yelu Chun sent people to see Tong Guan, "The Jurchens rebelled against the Great Liao, which was also the evil of the Southern Dynasties. Now they are greedy for a temporary benefit and abandon a hundred years of good fortune. They make new neighbors and conceal the disaster in the future! In this way, you, the Song Dynasty, still think you have a plan, is it okay?" At the same time, Yelu Chun also generously said: From then on, the Song Dynasty will be exempted from the annual 500,000 yuan monies, and only seek reconciliation between the two families and overcome difficulties together.

But this is the time when the Song Dynasty saw the advantages but not the disadvantages. How could he listen to this good words from the Liao envoy? So Tong Guan wanted to implement the emperor's second order: send an envoy to Youzhou and persuade Yelu Chun to surrender... (To be continued)
