At the end of June, the scorching sun was like fire, the Great Song Emperor Zhao Guangyi personally Mu elite forbidden army from Zhenzhou, arrived at Jinrutun six days later, recruited hundreds of people who were familiar with the terrain of Liaogu as guides, and arrived in Dongyi Prefecture for the second time, crossed the Juma River, and brazenly entered the territory of Liaoyuan.
In terms of individual soldiers, the Song forbidden army was well-equipped and well-trained, while the Liao were strong and natural warriors, and both sides had their own advantages.
The Liao people's arms are mainly cavalry, and the mobility is strong, but the initiative of this war is not in their hands, the Liao State has entered the feudal civilization society for more than 50 years, and has a large number of cities and settled urban people, and the city has to be defended, and the Song army forced it to abandon the long and short, and the city offensive and defensive battles and positional offensive and defensive battles, the salty power of the cavalry can not be waved at all It is Zhao Guangyi to enter the territory of Liao, all the way to attack the city and pull out the village, the momentum is like a bamboo, Liu Yu of Yizhou in Liao, Liu Houde, the judge of Zhuozhou, saw that the Song army was strong, and suddenly had no will to fight, and successively offered Yizhou and Zhuozhou to the Song Dynasty, which boosted the morale of the Song army, Zhao Guangyi accepted the Liao army on the one hand, and incorporated it into his own team, while continuing to march north, without stopping, ten days later he arrived at the city of Youzhou, stationed in the Baoguang Temple in the south of Youzhou City The Song army of 300,000 troops, only ten days, arrived at the city of Youzhou, and conquered two big cities in the middle, such a march was simply appalling in that era, the news came back to the Song Kingdom, and everyone in the streets and alleys cheered, as if victory was within reach.
No one thought that the ten-strong Liao people turned out to be a paper tiger so vulnerable.
The lightning tactics of the Song army frightened the Liao people, and the Liao Dynasty learned that the Song army only took ten days, and the 300,000 soldiers arrived directly under the city of Youzhou, and they couldn't help but be stunned.
Youzhou guard is Yelu Xuegu, there is a tail Song army is violent, Yelu Xuegu does not dare to fight, relying on the strong city to defend and wait for help, Youzhou City has the Imperial Forest Army, Shenwu Army, Crane Army and other elite Han army troops nearly 20,000 horsemen and Khitan, Xi Bohai and other ethnic groups tens of thousands of soldiers, the city reserves of grain and grass enough to support several years, as long as the city is not breached, he is still confident to defend until the reinforcements arrive.
The garrisons around the Liaoguo Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, the Zhongjing Dading Mansion, and the Tokyo Liaoyang Mansion rushed to Youzhou, Nanjing, and a real battle began under the city of Youzhou In Xingzhou Mansion of Western Xia, when Yang Hao learned that Zhao Guangyi's soldiers had arrived in Youzhou City, he immediately decided to attack Xiaoguan and attack Longyou.
When the time came, unless he directly attacked the Song State and achieved a major victory, Zhao Guangyi would never give up the low-hanging victory and return to China.
"Longyou Shang Boqian, has always been a tiger in my Western Xia, he accepted Yeluosu, Li Jiyun, and sent Huyan Aobo to help Li Jiyun's troops out of Xiaoguan to attack my gorge to instigate the rebellion of Ganzhou Hui and Tuoba Baibu, which is a clear proof.
Shang Bo Xing will not die for a day, the heart of the dead forest is endless, now Xiao Guan is in my hands, Shang Bo Qian day and night wave his army to attack and make peace with Ye Luosu and Luo Dan, and send a large number of soldiers and horses to gather on the front line of Xiao Guan, it can be seen that in Shang Boqian's heart, my Xixia is his mortal enemy.
Song Taizu said, lying next to the couch, how can he allow others to sleep soundly, Gu Shen thought so, Gu decided to raise troops to the south, crusade against Shang Boqian, to seed and release, Zhangpu Town to guard Xingzhou, Yang Jiye as the former enemy commander, Ai Yihai, Zhang Chongdian, Tuoba Haofeng, Yang Yanlang as the front and rear left and right four army commanders, Li Huating as the vanguard, Zhang Yuqiao as the supervising army, immediately opened, without delay. ” Ta Hao said.
Mu Yuqiao Mu Sheren is a spy of the Song State, and now that his mission has ended, the first secret decree Li Huating received is to let Mu Yuqiao Mu "die a natural death" in the battle Since he just defected to the Western Xia, "Flying Feather with the Wind" has already investigated his bottom clearly, before this, there has never been a country that attaches so much importance to intelligence work, and allocates a lot of funds to cultivate and support such a professional organization, but Yang Hao began to work hard when he was only based on a corner of Luzhou.
The hard work has paid off, and Yang Hao's intelligence organization efficiency is the best in the world.
The army marched to Xiao Pass, claiming to sit in Jinxingzhou, and Yang Huai, who also quietly risked Yang Jiye's Chinese army, and pulled out to Xiao Pass.
At this time, Zhao Guangyi is attacking Youzhou City, when the offensive is the most fierce, more than one million arrows in an hour, you can imagine what a spectacular scene it is, with arrows raining down, after the battle that day, the Liao people in the city only recruited women, children, old and weak to pick up, a moment of effort, pick up the arrows piled up like firewood stacks, but Youzhou City is still immovable, to capture it, it is not enough to attack from a distance, it is necessary to let the Song army set foot on its city, and it is not easy to do this.
Youzhou's 50,000 or 60,000 soldiers and horses were enough to defend the entire Taizhou city into an iron wall, and Song Yuan's 300,000 army trapped Youzhou to the ground, but it was unable to put all the 300,000 troops on the battlefield.
At this time, Yelu Xidi, the king of the northern courtyard of the Liao State, Yelu the king of the second room, and the unified army made Xiao Qigu three road reinforcements had rushed to Youzhou, but they were intercepted by Fu Qian, Kong Shouzheng, the vanguard of the Song army, and then the main force of the Song army swarmed in, and the 100,000 Liao army was killed by the tiger and wolf division of the more than 200,000 Song forbidden army, and had to let the horses flee.
The Song army spread its legs and chased wildly, but fortunately, most of the Liao army were cavalry, and although they fled in embarrassment, "they will not survive, once they are defeated, they will have no power to counterattack, and they can only be slaughtered by others, and they will suffer heavy losses."
At this time, the fourth reinforcements of the Liao State arrived, this time it was Yelu oblique, this veteran had just arrived, and he saw the first few reinforcements to take out the strength to eat milk and run away desperately, knowing that at this time he was facing the enemy head-on, and he could not bargain in front of the vigorous Song army, so he camped at the mouth of victory, set up a blue flag, and all kinds of flags in the army had its special meaning, and the green banner represented the recruitment of soldiers.
The Liao army that was running away with his life saw the victory and the green banner was raised, and finally had the backbone, and fled to the victory mouth together, and for a while disrupted the formation of the Yelu oblique formation, Zhao Guangyi was overjoyed at first sight, how could he let go of such a God-given opportunity, and immediately waved the army to attack, and did not want Yelu Yu Zhen to have already been ambushed all the way to the side of the soldiers and horses at the moment of the stalemate of the battle between the two sides, the flank Liao army shouted, like a sharp knife straight into the heart of the Song army, relying on the fast horse and long knife, disrupted the Song army formation, the Song army was forced to retreat, Yelu oblique gathered the defeated soldiers of the first three reinforcements, Counterattacked with the men and horses of the headquarters, and it was not until the Qinghe area under the city of Youzhou that the troops were collected to confront the Song army across the river.
The defenders in the city saw the flag of reinforcements fluttering in the distance, and the military heart was determined to defend the city more steadily, and at this time the Liao reinforcements were still in a steady stream, Zhao Guangyi was like a tiger into the wolves, but he was not afraid, and still stationed 300,000 troops under the city of Youzhou to attack day and night, as for the various reinforcements of the Liao people, you don't come I don't care about you, if you come to fight, just let the horse come.
Zhao Guangyi is actually not unreasonable to do this, his soldiers are mainly foot soldiers, if you don't do this, you will be led by the enemy, and the last 300,000 troops are likely to be dragged down, and Youzhou is the key point that the enemy must save Mastering this, he can lead the enemy to take the initiative to attack, the problem is that he did not block the pass near Youzhou to block the assembly of Hudao reinforcements, which is inevitably a bit big.
To be precise, due to the overwhelming victory in the north all the way, he had some strong enemies, believing that after frequent civil strife, the Liao State was a country with orphans and widows, and its national strength had declined, and it was not vulnerable at all.
And the "Pingrong Wanquan Great Array" that he had created with great effort shone in continuous battles, which also gave him greater confidence.
Although the army is impermanent, but once the enemy will be here, must fight with themselves head-on, the means that can be used are limited, the strategic skills are only a few things, the fight is only the strength and combat effectiveness, in this case, the role of the formation map is very large, the soldiers and horses are in an orderly manner according to the formation map, and the strong enemy is absolutely able to take advantage of it, which is also the real reason why Zhao Guangyi does not put more and more Liao reinforcements in his eyes.
At this time, the prison in Bianliang, Tokyo, ushered in a small sedan chair.
There are still four small yellow doors beside the sedan with dust in their hands, and their expressions are proud.
Chu Yunxiu and Chu Zhusi, who were sitting in the prison, stood at the door of the prison and looked at the small sedan chair and smiled bitterly.
The traces in the sedan chair are the current prince, just like the last time he came, the person he wanted to see was still the Qin prisoner who pretended to be a woman and assassinated the emperor, but the last time there was the Imperial City Division Zhen Chu Ge Zhen and the chamberlain, they all knew that Lord Gu Ruogu told him to go back, this time he is in prison The entire Tokyo Bianliang is silent and respects him, who else can stop him."
"Guan Yunxiu, do you still want to stop this palace?"
Zhao Yuanzuo sat in the sedan chair, the sedan curtain was tall, his face was as heavy as water, and his tone was calm.
Chu Absi knew that if he said no again, his head would be lost.
The two of them were like sinking into the sea, and they didn't show up at all, and it seemed that they knew that there was no way to stop the prince this time, so they simply avoided showing up.
If he obstructs, the charge of deceiving the king and resisting the decree will have to be borne by him, and if he gives in, he will return to Beijing in the future, and he will still be held accountable for the crime.
Chu Yunxiu smiled a little bitterly, but he had no choice between dying in the future and dying immediately, he could lean down with a wry smile, and said helplessly: "How dare the minister disobey the order, the prince please come in."
Bisu has been imprisoned in the prison as a felon, it stands to reason that a felony like this should have been cut off, the problem is that at the beginning Zhao Guangyi kept his life and was of great use, he needed Bi Zhan's confession, to find one more reason for killing his brother, and later Zhao Guangmei had not returned to Beijing, he was assassinated in Chang'an, Zhao Guangyi seized the opportunity to start a major purge of the court, this little shrimp had long been forgotten by him outside the nine kidney clouds.
And the important ministers in the sheath have been purged, I don't know how many people have fallen off the horse, how many people have taken the position, the personnel changes are too frequent, the fallen ones don't care about themselves, they only care about Mingzhe's self-preservation, and the high-ranking ones are celebrating each other, and they are busy forming gangs, who cares about the death row prisoner who really thinks about him, only Zhao Wuzuo, the prince of the East Palace.
Entering the prison, each door card was heavily guarded, and he walked for a long time "before he came to the cell where the wall was held.
After being locked up in this dark prison for so long, he had a long beard and belly, a messy shawl, thin cheeks, a body of mud, and long nails, like a wild man, and his handsome appearance was completely like two people.
As a felon, he is still shackled and shackled, even in prison, no one takes him off, he is alone, the Yuan people take care of him, and he is already given preferential treatment if he is punished every day, who will pity him There is only a palm-wide gap between the iron fence as thick as an arm, and there is only a one-foot-square hole near the ground, and a rice basin is placed on it, like a dog food basin, and a thick iron chain is tied to the door, and the lock is as big as a brick, Chu Zhisi opened the town with his own hands, and accompanied Zhao Wuzuo to walk in, Zhao Yuanzuo couldn't help frowning when he saw Bisu, turned his head to Chu Yunxiu and said, "This person is the assassin who pretended to be a nun at the beginning, how can he not look like it?"
Chu Yun said: "The minister does not dare to deceive the prince, this person is the murderer, and the years in prison are like years, and the shape is really ordinary."
Zhao Yuanzuo saw that the room was small, and the daylight was even darker than at dusk, and the skylight was only a fist that was small, only through a light curtain, and the prison was dirty and smelly, so he nodded unconsciously: "Well, it makes sense."
When you go out, you are a little embarrassed and want to ask him in person.
When Chu Yunxiu heard this, he said in embarrassment: "This."
Zhao Yuanzuo said: "Why, do you dare to listen to the words of this palace."

Chu Yunxiu hurriedly said: "The minister doesn't dare, it's just that this fang is stubborn, and the minister is worried about His Royal Highness the Prince, so."
Zhao Yuanzuo sneered and said: "He is wearing a heavy flail, how can I get out" Chu Yunxiu had no choice but to give up his hand, Zhao Yuanzuo sighed, and said to the four little yellow doors, "You also go out, go far, if you can hear a word, Lone will cut off your ears." ” When the four little yellow doors heard this, they hurriedly agreed, and retreated in a panic, Zhao Yuanzuo slowly walked two steps, and asked in a deep voice: "Lone came to ask you, I assassinated the Son of Heaven that day, but the King of Qi instructed me."
Since he entered the cell, the wall has been sitting cross-legged on the ground, long shawl, not moving, like a stone carved wood sculpture, until he heard the cell boss call him the prince, his ears did not attract attention to the rapid twice, but he still closed his eyes and stared at the gods, the old monk into the general, until this time slowly opened his eyes, in the prison for so long, he has been shaped and boneless, not human form, but this open eyes, but like two cold electricity, blazing with a spirit, is the inner kung fu has reached a very high realm of light, prison years, although not without destruction, But the training on him has obviously paid off as well.
Zhao Yuanzuo took another step forward and said sharply; Bengong asked you, why didn't you answer Bisu's eyes narrowed slightly, and asked rhetorically: "You are the prince today" "It is a lonely family."
Bi Su Gege smiled, suddenly stood up, his hands shrank, and the heavy flail fell to the ground with a thud, and his shot was like lightning, and it was already strangled at Zhao Yuanzuo's throat.
In front of many Ouchi guards, the Son of Heaven and the prince were injured, and everyone knew that he was an assassin who was famous, but who knew that he was still a famous thief in the north, "foreign hand", this nickname is not called in vain, after years of hard work, "all hands finally got the opportunity to get out of trouble:
