In September, five Song dynasties broke into Dangxiang territory. At the beginning, all the people and horses strictly followed the strategic map assigned by the emperor before leaving. But the problem suddenly appeared on the main general Li Jilong.

He discovered a problem - the route is wrong. If he follows the route map directed by the emperor, he has to pass through Lingzhou first before he can run to Wu and Baichi. In that case, he will have to walk for more than a month and the road is short of water, which is the most deadly. Maybe his huge legion will be in chaos without fighting.

At this time, his pioneer officer Lu Bin gave him an idea: we do not pass through Lingzhou, but start from the starting point Huanzhou, take a straight line, and suddenly appear in Wu and Baichi within 10 days!

Li Jilong was overjoyed. To go to Lingzhou, it was nothing more than to rescue Lingzhou. However, suddenly attacking Wu and Baichi, and even a plan to surround Wei to save Zhao. The siege of Lingzhou could be resolved without fighting. He sent his younger brother Li Jihe to quickly return to Kaifeng to meet the emperor and report the change of the route. Zhao Guangyi was anxious when he heard this. He didn't understand why there were always people who didn't listen to him. Now even his brother-in-law was like this! He only said to Li Jihe, "You brother is like this, you will definitely defeat my business." He immediately wrote a letter to Li Jilong, ordering him to obey the orders and act according to the original plan. He also sent Zhou Ying to serve as a military supervisor, and if necessary, forced Li Jilong to obey. But it was too late. When Zhou military supervisor arrived, General Li went to war and bypassed Lingzhou and took shortcuts. It became a fact... The wish was good, and his knowledge was high. If successful, then General Li's reputation would surely spread to the Western Regions and shocked the time.

But he was very depressed. He walked for more than 10 days, but the result was... "I won't see the enemy, and I will lead the army." What's going on? The enemy is in Wu and Baichi, and what happened later proved that the Song army's early intelligence was 100% accurate. Then how could he "don't see the enemy"? The reason is very simple: he got lost. In the desert and Gobi, he wanted to take shortcuts, but the result was backfired... What's even more terrible is that he not only went home for a walk for nothing, but he also joined forces with Ding Han to play like this together.

With two armies, the main force of the Song army returned in vain. But this is also better than Zhang Shouen on the other side...

Zhang Shouen, the son of Zhang Lingduo, a famous general in the early Song Dynasty. He set out from Linzhou and strictly followed the road map. As a result, he encountered an enemy. But this bastard was so shameless that he suddenly chose to be blind. I didn't see anything. Let's go home... In this way, he brought his men and horses safely and had to come back with all his tails...

Only Wang Chao and Fan Tingzhao were left. They joined forces and the route they walked was the most difficult and longest - Wuding River.

The Song army dug wells and marched all the way, and struggled from the Gobi wasteland to Tiemen Pass. Here, the first battle of the Song army's expedition finally began.

Wang Chao's 17-year-old son Wang Deyong was the pioneer for his father, led tens of thousands of people to defeat the Dangxiang people at the Tiemen Pass, and then rushed to the first target - Wu and Baichi. He discovered how accurate the initial information was. He was really facing Li Jiqian, the king of Dangxiang!

After raiding thousands of miles, Li Jiqian was finally found, but at the same time he had to face the elites of the Dangxiang clan. At this time, the reaction of the head coach Fan Tingzhao and Wang Chao was "not daring to advance". The Song army surrounded the five routes, and only they arrived. So when the head coach's son Wang Deyong asked for a fight, he only received 5,000 elite soldiers! With only these 5,000 people, Wang Deyong and Li Jiqian fought for 3 days and won consecutive battles. In the end, the entire Song army was overwhelmed, and Li Jiqian was finally defeated and led the remaining troops to flee the nest.

This was a tragic victory. The formation killed more than 50 people and captured more than 2,000 people alive. But it was the limit, and I was in the guest realm, so I really couldn't pursue it anymore.

Retreat! The Song army almost just defeated Li Jiqian and began to retreat from Wu and Baichi. The ghostly Dangxiang cavalry was in danger. As long as the Song army showed signs of disarray, they would come over at any time. The victory, loss, life and death were not yet confirmed!

Wang Deyong asked his father and Fan Tingzhao to go first, and led his army behind the palace. He ordered those who dared to chaotic movements to behead! The entire Song army was purged and the team was rigorous. 50 miles away from Xiazhou, the Dangxiang people really appeared, and they followed behind them, but they never dared to challenge them. They watched the Song army go further and further...

The five-way army attacked Dangxiang ended like this, and Li Jiqian still had not caught it. Zhao Guangyi made up his mind to wipe out this and would never give Li Jiqian a chance to rekindle again! But...

In the first month of the third year of Zhidao (997), Zhao Guangyi ordered Fu Qian to leave Yanzhou and Wang Zhaoyuan to continue attacking Li Jiqian, and be sure to eliminate the roots! In early February, Wang Zhaoyuan reported at the Lingzhou camp and defeated Li Jiqian again, but Li Jiqian still escaped...

On February 6, Zhao Guangyi was 59 years old. The arrow wounds that had been entangled with him for nearly 18 years were finally uncontrollable. His condition worsened and he decided to do something in the palace for the first time in his life.

He ordered a truce in the front line of Lingzhou. There are only two reasons for this: 1. The army is ominous. The emperor wanted to invite God's blessings with a truce, begging for blessings and extend his life; 2. With his personality, this time he decided to give a formation map, set a plan, and control the battle situation remotely throughout the whole process. At this time, he could no longer hold on and had to give up.

In the next more than a month, there was no record of the Song Dynasty. It was obvious that the most important thing in the empire was the emperor's health. But even if we spread our strength to the country, we could not delay the passage of a person's life.

On March 15, the Great Khitan granted Li Jiqian the King of Xiping. On the 20th, the Liao Taifei won a great victory in the west and Dangxiang of Hexi joined the Great Khitan. As a result, the western territory of the Great Khitan expanded greatly...

On March 28, Zhao Guangyi finally fell ill and was completely unable to handle state affairs. On the 29th, the last moment finally came! The emperor passed away in the Long Live Palace! Is this the cycle of fate? On that snowy night more than 20 years ago, he hurried into this mysterious world and faced his brother's body. Now he is going to leave here too...

The Song people had a high opinion of their emperor. Because this emperor opened the door to their official career (the trouble of redundant officials started from the Taizong Dynasty) to repay their favor, the Song people did not hesitate to praise the emperor, saying that he not only completed the great cause of unifying the world, but also helped Emperor Taizu lay the foundation for the Song Dynasty. He was completely a super emperor who carried forward the past and inherited the past.

When the Yuan people evaluated him in "The Annals of Emperor Taizong of Song", they had no concerns about him. "The Emperor Taizu's collapse did not last more than a year and changed the Yuan Dynasty" means that he was disrespectful to his brother. "The Duke of Fuling County was demoted to his death, the King of Wugong committed suicide, and the Queen of Song Dynasty did not die." This means that he was indifferent to his younger brother, nephew, and sister-in-law. The last sentence "There must not be indifferent to his future generations" means that he would have some discussion behind him.

But in fact, these are all personal morals and have nothing to do with the success or failure of military and national affairs. In contrast, Li Shimin killed his brother and younger brother with his own hands, forced his father to abdicate, and demoted his prince to death. No matter what, he did a ruthless job than Zhao Guangyi. But it did not affect the reputation of the emperor for all the time.

Because no matter what, the country Zhao Guangyi took from his brother was prosperous, unification would become a good situation of social stability. When he died, what he threw to the next generation was a mess. The Khitans had already gained the upper hand, and the Dangxiang people were no longer ministers, and even the Sichuan uprising broke out in the country. All of this was caused by him! So I only had three words to evaluate this emperor - the big bitch!

Analyze the elements of Zhao Guangyi's ability: How strong is he? How weak is he?

Zhao Guangyi became the Kaifeng Yin when he was just 20 years old. Since then, he has been in charge of important work in the national administrative departments. He has rich experience in officialdom and is well-behaved in the world. Even a game of chess in the country, he knows more than anyone else how to do it. He is the most capable official of the Taizu Dynasty. This is his capital far exceeding other male members of the Zhao family. Even history proves that Zhao Kuangyin is not as good as him in some aspects. But unfortunately, he is lame: the army and politics do not separate, but he is only one hand.

The only fatal flaw of Zhao Guangyi lies in the army. Because he has no qualifications and no military merits, the army is a wonderful world. There, no matter how kind or generous you are, even if you are born with an emperor's face, it is useless! If you want to be king in the army, you must have real ability. "Money is used to suppress slaves, and skills are more important than being a pedestrian." You have to be able to take it out for a walk! But Zhao Guangyi is a person who fights wits but not with strength.

To be fair, Zhao Guangyi's first rule of government is the word "diligence". Among all the emperors of all generations, he may be the only one who can go to court to take care of things every day. This attendance rate continued until December 995. It was not until then that he followed the example of Emperor Xuan of Han on the 5th, Emperor Taizong of Tang on the 3rd, and Emperor Gaozong of Tang on the next day to take care of the court, and it became a three-day visit. But what?

In a word, his pursuit has hurt him and his country even more. He has done everything he cannot do, and his luck is extremely bad every time. He should be a politician, and should not have become an emperor, but he has such lofty ideals. So...he has no choice...(To be continued)
