"Now that the army of the Song Kingdom is making a comeback, the momentum is especially more than the previous time, and there are also Western Xia cavalry, the prince thinks that the queen mother and the young lord can resist a strong enemy with the courage of Yelu Xiuge alone?"
The man who spoke was in his early thirties, with a mediocre face, nothing unusual, except for a pair of eyes that were very attentive and shrewd.
If someone in Chang'an sees it, some people may recognize that this person is Hu Xi'er, the steward of Zhao Guangmei's mansion, the king of Qi.
Sitting on the top is a big man in his thirties, with a huge body, a full beard, a crown of hair, wearing a Gong Hanfu, the strong body holds the clothes tightly, and it seems that Ji will crack if he exerts force.
His posture, if he wears a left-hand beard suit and a fur fox hat, he is also majestic, but he is wearing a Central Plains Han shirt and forcing Sven, which makes people look funny.
This person is called Yelu Liulishou, and he is the son of Yelu Xiyin, the king of Song.
Yelu Xiyin, the king of Song, was implicated in the rebellion of Yelu Sanming, the king of De, and was imprisoned.
This prince of the Song dynasty is now the de facto leader of the tribe.
Liulishou stroked his beard, shook his head slightly, and said: "The comer is not good, the comer is not good, the Song army's infantry formation is already a headache, and now it has the length of the cavalry, the Song army can attack and defend, advance and retreat naturally, Yelu Huge's previous big victory, to a large extent, relied on the Song Emperor's long-won resentment and long-term battle to lure him into ambush, really talking about strength, with my strength I am afraid it will be difficult to defeat the Song people." ”， Hu Xi'er said with a smile: "In fact, if you talk about bravery, the cavalry and archery that my soldiers and horses of the Northern Dynasty have practiced since childhood, and they are fighting on their own territory, but they may not be afraid of the southerners."
The reason why we lost the battle in a row was not because of the lack of soldiers and horses in our northern country, but because the Queen Mother was interested in Yelu Huge and had the intention to marry him, and lost the royal dignity, so that the hearts of the people and the army were lost. ”， Liu Lishou patted his thigh and said angrily: "Yes, what you said is reasonable, this is exactly what you said." ”， Hu Xi'er said again: "This time, Yelu Hugo lost 80,000 elites, but he only ate the queen mother's meal, and there was no real punishment, which shows the queen mother's partiality towards him, the last time Youzhou was besieged, there were two generals who went to help three days late, and how was the result of the queen mother's order, whipped in public, demoted and retained" The two are compared, the queen mother rewards and punishments for her own selfish feelings are unknown, who is willing to obey her" Liu Lishou said loudly: "Exactly, exactly, hum, I know, she is as beautiful as a flower, young and widowed, how can she endure the loneliness in the boudoir to the dignity of the queen mother" actually made peace with a courtier, and it was a loss of my royal dignity, and now the words circulating on the streets of the market must have heard of it, it is really unbearable, every time I think of it, it is really embarrassing. ”， Hu Xi'er smiled gloomily and said: "However, the prince doesn't have to be so angry, don't you think this is our opportunity?"
Liulishou was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "How can you say this by chance?"
Hu Xi'er said: "The queen mother has a personal relationship with her courtiers" The royal family has no dignity, and the royal family and the adults of various tribes have many complaints in their hearts.
The queen mother does not know her own respect, she has no qualifications for the mother of the world, the young lord is still a doll who has nothing to do, how to govern the world of Daliao In this case, the queen mother is sitting in Nanjing, and Beijing is empty, if the prince takes the opportunity to send troops, he will have to respond, why not depose the young emperor and support the Song king as the emperor."
Liulishou and his father had already participated in the rebellion of King Yelu Sanming, and they were anti-early, but they were secretive at the beginning, and they were not caught too much by the court, so they only imprisoned King Song, and did not connect too widely.
It's just that Liu Lishou hesitated for a moment, and sighed: "No, the queen mother's means are really good, in the past few years, "the entire Shangjing has been run by her through the wind and rain, and now although I am still the chief of my clan, I have no soldiers and no power."
Well, what do you want me to do with it?"
Hu Xi'er smiled and said: "What the prince said is bad, I have a lot of loyal and righteous people in the Liao Dynasty, seeing that the queen mother is in control of the young master, and the country is in danger, who doesn't want to be loyal and serve the country, and support justice If the prince has a heart, the villain is willing to introduce a person for the prince, this person has a heavy army, if he is willing to help the prince, great things can be done." ” Liu Lishou's eyes narrowed slightly, and he doubted: "Well, you are a businessman, why are you so keen on this matter," Hu Xi'er said respectfully: "Even if he is rich and rivals the country, he is still a lowly businessman.
The villain just wants to make a contribution to the work of the son of the world, the king of the Song Dynasty will ascend the throne as the emperor in the future, and the prince will be the prince, the villain can go on the right path, seek a background like Guo Xian, glorify the ancestors, and protect the descendants, and it is not in vain to come to the world to go this way. ”， Guo Xi is a Hanchen, the current queen mother's extremely favored minister, now the official worship of the Southern Yuan privy envoy, and political affairs, plus the Wuding military festival envoy, is a person under the ten thousand people above the figure, Liulishou laughed when he heard this: "If my father and son are in power, I will give you Guo Xi's position, Ha Spider" is not fast, you said that there is a general with a heavy army in one hand who is willing to help me achieve great things, who is he who he is, this is true, Hu Xi'er stood up straight, coughed lightly and said, "Brother Wang, the prince has inquired about it, but he hasn't shown up yet."
Before he could say a word, a person flashed out behind the screen, with a helmet hanging armor, a sword under his ribs, and two Yaling tall on the top of the helmet, looking at his face only about forty years, with sharp sword eyebrows and heroic spirit.
Liu Lishou was startled, stood up suddenly, and said in a lost voice: "Wang Guanyu Wang commanded the envoy", Wang Guanyu bowed and said loudly: "It is the last general, the last general to command the Han army in Beijing, Wang Guanyu, who has seen the prince of Song." ” Liu Lishou couldn't help but be surprised and happy when he saw this person, it turned out that this Wang Guanyu was the commander of the Han army in Shangjing, and there were 60,000 Han troops stationed in Beijing under his command, and now the war in Youzhou is urgent, and even the soldiers and horses in Liaoyang, Tokyo have been transferred, not to mention Shangjing, most of the palace guards and clan tent troops in Beijing have gone to Youzhou with the royal car, and the people and horses who stayed in Beijing have become the main force of the Han army.
In Xiao Xuan's mind, all the rebellions were Khitan magnates, and the Han army rarely participated, so it was most appropriate to leave the Han army to guard E-Beijing, but he didn't expect that the Zheng family was just helping the sheep from the snake and wanted to plan a big business in the Liao State.
These Han generals are all from the northern family, and the ordinary Han people have only gradually emerged in recent years, except for the Khitan family, other ethnic groups have been excluded and suppressed, how can the children of ordinary Han families have the opportunity to learn literature and martial arts, and only these families have the opportunity to always get education, so as to be reused by the Liao Dynasty.
However, it is precisely because they are born in a family, so even if they are martial artists, they have been influenced by too much Han culture and traditional concepts, in their opinion, ordinary people are widowed and widowed, and it is nothing to remarry others, but what is the identity of the queen mother of a country If the queen mother has this behavior, it is simply a loss of morality, and it is extremely bad and moral, and she will be spurned and despised by the people of the world.
The rumor that Xiao Xuan and Yelu Hugo have a personal affair was originally the remnants of the Baigan Department who were deliberately spread by the excerpt of Ziyu, and the interest of ordinary people in the relationship between men and women has really been extremely enthusiastic since ancient times.
After that, Hu Xi'er made friends with generous gifts, clever words, and gradually moved his mind, in his mind, Empress Dowager Xiao has this end, she lost the qualification of the mother of the world, if he raised an army and deposed it, he will definitely be able to cater to the hearts of all the royal nobles, and this matter will definitely be done.
So he became Hu Xier's accomplice.
The two of them were all happy for a while, but after a failed coup d'état, Liulishou was lucky enough to become a fish that slipped through the net, and he still has palpitations when he thinks about it, and he can't help but be a little careful.
He said uneasily: "General Wang, the Han army, can you control everything, you must know that if you are not careful, you and I will both be guilty of killing your head." ” Wang Guanyu laughed and said: "Among the armies in Beijing, our Han army has always been not valued by the palace guards and clan tents, and the officers and men in the army are often excluded, so they are self-contained and united. ” Wang Guanyu said confidently, and raised his voice: "You all come out, we have seen the prince together."
Behind the huge screen, the clothes and armor were sonorous, and five people came out one after another, clearly Li Jianbai, the deputy commander of the Han army in Shangjing, Cheng Tianhao, the commander of the Ma army, the commander of the infantry army, and the commander of the Han army, Hou Wei Chi Feng and Zhou Qi.
The six generals of the Han army are all gathered here, and they are overjoyed to stay in Lishou" high-fived and praised: "In this way, great events can be expected," Hu Xi'er said with a smile: "This is not enough, the villain also contacted several tribes such as Baiganbu, in addition, the Murwei and Jurchen are also sending people to contact, just wait for everything to be prepared, and the prince will be shocked in one fell swoop." ”， Liulishou was pleasantly surprised, looking at the sky and laughing Xiao Xuan sent the ink mark to the Song army camp again, and this time, only a brocade box was brought.
When I opened the brocade box, there was a paper stick, which was dripping with ink, and there were only six big words: "If you want to fight, I will fight," Yang Hao looked silent and silent, closed the brocade box at the moment, and sent the ink marks away as if nothing happened, and then turned back to the inner room, he stroked the box for a long time, opened it gently, took off the paper stick, lifted the soft satin below, and saw that there were jewelry lying quietly below, one by one wiped shiny, revealing a moist brilliance, maybe in the dead of night, she often played with them.
How to comfort the tortoiseshell hairpin behind the ear.
He Yidao is attentive about a pair of silver.
Why did Qi Kuo jump around his wrist Why is it gracious and beautiful, Why is it so that the ears are full of selfishness, I remember the last time, she sent half of the jewelry back, Yang Hao understood her implicit intentions, she hoped that one day, she could put the missing half on for her.
But If you want to fight, I will fight Yang Hao sighed faintly, and his heart was not without sorrow: "We have gone farther and farther away, perhaps, there will be no chance in this life."
"Flails" Yelu Hugo gathered troops and horses, killed Zhuozhou, and fled north," Yang Hao stood up suddenly, and the sentimental look in his eyes was replaced by an awe-inspiring murderous aura The Liao army shrank its forces and entrenched itself in Nanjing.
According to Yelu Huge's plan, it is to stick to Youzhou, and accordingly defeat Yang Hao's main force, so that Yang Jiye, the middle route army, and Cao Bin, the western route army, who are fighting alone, are naturally not in the climate, and before closing the five fingers, they should avoid their edge, and it is not appropriate to take the initiative to find their decisive battle.
The second Youzhou defense battle began under the planning of Yelu Xiuge, the king of the southern courtyard Yelu Jing, the king of the northern courtyard Pu Nuning, the king of Xi Tuning, the three kings of the four Khitan kings and the northern court Xuanhui envoy Pu Ling all gathered in Youzhou, Nanjing, Liao State.
At the same time, while ordering all the troops and horses to assemble in Youzhou, Yelu Hugo ordered them to fight guerrilla warfare, harass the transportation lines of the Song army, attack small groups of Song troops, transfer the residents of the prefectures and counties along the road, and implement the clearing of the wilderness.
And Yang Hao's army went straight to Youzhou with high spirits, ignoring the soldiers and horses scattered in the border states and counties that had just been occupied by them, attacking them and forcing them to return, and the soldiers and horses at the front of the Liao State retreated without a fight.
Yang Hao moved very quickly, and it looked like it was no different from Zhao Guangyi's previous style of fighting, but the mobility was different, the effect of the same tactic was also different, and the deterrent effect on the Liao army was also greater.
The only weakness of the Song army is probably the supply of grain and straw insertion, which is always moving and losing by land and water, and closely following the advance of the army.
In terms of waterways, there are icebreakers in front and transport ships in the back, and there are escort troops along the river.
The ship broke the ice and advanced, and when the ice became thicker, the speed of breaking the ice could no longer meet the needs of the speed of travel, and a large amount of grain was moved down from the ship by the soldiers Yang Hao's soldiers and horses even walked in front of many Liao teams returning to defend Youzhou, while Yelu Xiuge ordered the returning Liao army to fight guerrilla attacks, and used cavalry to attack the Song army's grain and straw transportation teams on both land and water.
In the history of Chinese and foreign wars, there has been a small incident that affected the change of the entire battle situation, a shell that happened to hit the enemy's ammunition depot, a heavy rain that stood out, an unexpected battle that was not planned by the command headquarters, a group of scattered soldiers mistakenly broke into the enemy's command headquarters, and so on.

On the evening of this day, Liu Baoxun, the grain officer of the Song army, braved the wind and snow to escort hundreds of grain trucks by land and had just arrived at Qimengou, and suddenly killed three thousand Liao elite horsemen in the oblique stab.
Liu Baoxun was caught off guard, there was no time to set up antlers to reject horses, set up infantry arrays, and had no choice but to hurriedly surround the grain carts to resist the Liao army, the Song army that lost the advantage of the formation was not the opponent of the Liao army that suddenly killed, the Liao army was surrounded on all sides, a bloody battle, Liu Baoxun and his son Kaifeng soldiers Cao Liu Lishe, and Chengkong Yi in the palace were all killed in front of the battle, and the soldiers were killed and wounded, and the grain carts were burned.
Li Huating and Liu Tingrang, who could walk to the left, suddenly saw the fire and smoke billowing more than ten miles away from the right flank, and hurriedly waved the army to come, and the Liao army had just escaped from Tianguan, Liu Tingrang was ambushed by the Liao people in the battle of Junziguan, and the 30,000 army was annihilated.
In fact, along the way, the Liao army took advantage of the characteristics of fast cavalry and familiar geography, and often carried out harassment battles, and most of the pursuits were ineffective, so Li Huating didn't want to chase, he felt that the more the Liao army was so jumpy, the more it showed that the Liao army was afraid of the Song army attacking Youzhou, and could quickly march to the city of Youzhou and force the enemy to fight a decisive battle.
But he couldn't resist Liu Ting to let this veteran of the Song Kingdom, so he had to brave the snow to pursue as he said.
At this time, the heavy snow was still falling, the world was vast, and the night was gradually falling, and the two led the army to chase for a while, and the traces on the ground gradually became invisible, and the terrain was not familiar, so they got lost.
The Liao army that had attacked the grain convoy had long since fled to nowhere to go, and they were scrambled forward, but unexpectedly encountered another Liao army in a remote village called Xiaoheyan.
Suddenly, the Song army of the brigade fell from the sky, and the Liao army guarding here couldn't help but be dumbfounded.
It turned out that this road of the Liao army was escorting a large number of siege equipment seized from the city of Youzhou, ready to be transported to the Liao Song border of the Liao heavy transport team, he was on the way, he heard that Yelu Xiuge was defeated, so he had to hastily change the plan, temporarily stop advancing, and transport a large number of siege equipment to this remote village along the river, far away from the north-south traffic artery, to observe the changes in the situation.
In fact, it is most appropriate for them to destroy all these siege equipment, but such exquisite equipment, the craftsmen of the Liao State may not be able to make it, these things are some rare treasures for the Liao people, this high-tech war weapon, has a very significant value for them, such trophies, it is like the Tubalu that only millet plus the gun captured two cannons, if it is not a last resort, how can it be destroyed.
And this Liao army underestimated the situation on the front line, and did not expect the situation to be so serious, they got the news that Yelu Xiuge was defeated, and he was gathering the army and planning to confront the Song army according to the three passes, so he wanted to see the results, but the Song army was not entangled with the Liao army at the border pass at all, and the Song army was ready to stop, almost without stopping, and went straight to Youzhou, and even ran in front of the Liao army at the border pass.
In this case, this heavy transport team is not a front-line force, and the source is already lacking, so I want to ask for instructions and inquire "From the geographical point of view, at this time it is in the middle of Youzhou and the three passes of the Liao and Song Dynasties.
It stands to reason that the small village is located in the middle of nowhere, "the Song army, who was eager to attack Youzhou, was talking about the speed of the soldiers, and they would not sweep everywhere along the way, especially this kind of remote village that has no value, and they would not find these things.
In the last battle of Youzhou, due to the hasty retreat, the Song army in the middle of the Gaoliang River did not even have time to notify the friendly troops under the city of Youzhou, so the most serious losses in that battle were the non-combat troops, mainly logistics soldiers and artisan soldiers, who had poor self-protection ability and were captured and killed the most.
And it's winter now, even if the number of craftsmen in the Song army can still be guaranteed, "the speed of rushing to Youzhou City to rebuild all kinds of siege equipment will be much lower than the last time, with these siege equipment, it can be said that it is extremely beneficial for the Song army to attack Youzhou."
Liu Tingrang said it, and Li Huating was also very surprised, this mistake actually made a great achievement At that moment, Li Huating was excited to take those captured Liao troops and weapons to go on the road, and the veteran Liu Tingrang was more thoughtful than him, he knew the importance of these siege equipment, for the Liao people, these things are far more important than hundreds of carts of grain, the encounter along the small river was seriously underprepared, and a lot of Liao cavalry escaped, once they found the main force of the Liao army, and this main general is a brain, he will inevitably lead the army to attack again, so he immediately reminded Li Huating, The commander-in-chief of the Eastern Route Army, Marshal Pan Meipan, should be notified to send someone to respond.
Li Huating was reminded by his words, and immediately sent a flying horse to contact the commander, the messenger had just left for half a day, and they ran into the headquarters that came later, Emperor Yu saw that the army was pulling many huge equipment, and when he asked the reason, he knew that the situation was important, and immediately ordered the men and horses of the headquarters to slow down the march and escort the equipment north.
In the evening, sure enough, there was a Liao army attacking, the number of Liao troops on this road was seven thousand, and the general of the army was Xiao Tzu Lin, this is a tiger general of the Liao State, Wen Tao Wu Strategy, wisdom and bravery, not an ordinary general who only knows how to fight is comparable, and his heart is also high, Yelu Xiu Ge is like a cloud arrow like a rising speed, he is very unconvinced, in his opinion, he Xiao Suo Rin is not worse than Ye Lu Xiu Ge, if it is bad, it is only bad luck.
As soon as I heard that a large number of siege equipment fell into the hands of the Song army, Xiao Tzu Rin knew that it was bad, these things can be said to be the sharpest weapons in the city's offensive and defensive warfare, to some extent, they can determine the outcome of this battle, without these weapons, the Song people's siege will be greatly reduced, the pressure on the defenders will not be so great, and the victory or defeat of the war will be tilted to the Liao State one more point, even if these siege equipment is destroyed, because the remanufacturing of the Song army has extended the time for their attack, it is possible to create countless fighters for the Liao army, how can he not be in a hurry "It's really stupid, those instruments should be placed with firewood and grass at all times, and burned immediately if something is wrong, seeing that the Song army only cares about fleeing for their lives, and gives such a sharp weapon back to the Song people", In a fit of rage, Xiao Tzu Rin beheaded the important officer who had more than enough success and more than enough defeat, and immediately waved his army to intercept and kill Li Huating's department, and at the same time, he also sent people to report this important information to Xiao Gan and Han Kuang's subordinates, who had just gathered the soldiers and horses scattered in the border states and counties of the Song Kingdom, and were chasing Yang Hao's main force and hurriedly returning north.
Li Huating, Liu Tingrang, Tong Yu and Xiao Tart Rin a bloody battle, both sides had casualties, and finally protected those siege equipment unharmed, Xiao Suorin how was willing to rest, all the way to the ghost, talk endlessly, the two sides fought and advanced, until the next day, Song Guotian re-entry department who was in the left army also rushed to reinforcements, and the Song army was full of momentum.
Xiao Tart Rin was overwhelmed and was about to order the withdrawal of the army, but Xiao Gan and Han Kuangsi's men and horses fell from the sky and finally arrived in time.
This time the Liao army suddenly lifted its spirits, and the two sides once again became evenly matched, this big battle from the afternoon to dusk, from dusk and night until late at night, when the battle was in full swing, Pan Mei received a messenger's message, and led the army back to reinforce.
Because of a grain robbery by the Liao army, Liu Tingrang, a veteran general of the Song State, was in a hurry to chase after him, and accidentally seized this batch of siege equipment, and the generals of the Liao army who retreated north heard the news and thought that they could react quickly and destroy it before the large army of the table army returned to Gongwei, and as a result, these siege equipment built by Zhao Ershu became a big torch in the vast dark night.
The two sides fought until dawn" began to consciously gather the soldiers and horses, and on the land of Pingchuan, the two armies of the black pressure confronted each other, and once they saw the current situation clearly, the generals on both sides were shocked.
A large number of siege equipment in the hands of the Song army, they need to guard these things, in case they are destroyed by the Liao army, so the foot guards are inside, and the cavalry is outside, the total strength is difficult to estimate, just look at its cavalry, when there are more than 60,000 people, and the Liao army because of the attack, so the front is cavalry, Xiao Tzu Rin, Xiao Gan, Han Kuangsi three road soldiers and horses a total of more than 70,000 people are cavalry, standing opposite.
In terms of the strength of the two sides, it is a relatively balanced situation, and in terms of troops, both sides are cavalry that can be put into battle at this time.
They were located on an empty plain.
After the special environment, the corresponding troops, the attack, the siege, the re-attack, and the re-siege are faced with a very rare cavalry corps battle.
Infantry corps battles were common, and the only way for infantry to inflict massive damage on their opponents was to fight head-on.
The scene of the cavalry battle was often seen between two powerful tribes on the grassland when the grassland tribes were not yet unified, but in the war with the Central Plains countries, such a scene had never been seen before.
What to do in the event of a head-on confrontation with the cavalry corps There is only one way, a decisive battle to the death The infantry corps confrontation can also retreat in an orderly manner, and the cavalry corps confronts the only one, and the surrounding terrain is no mountains and rivers, so that one side can block the opponent's attack when retreating quickly, and there is only one result: not to die.
Because no matter how well-trained the war horse is, after all, it is an animal rather than a person, once it retreats, the formation will be chaotic, and if the other party is also a cavalry, if you rush with all your strength in such a flat plain, the result will inevitably be a one-sided massacre.
No one thought that there would be such a scene, the Liao army has been avoiding gathering to the city of Youzhou before the decisive battle with the Song army, the cavalry of the Liao army came and went freely in their own territory, and it was not easy for the Song army to find the decisive battle, but the soldiers and horses of the Song and Liao countries in order to get and destroy these treasures left by Zhao Guangyi, constantly gathered soldiers and horses here, and the two sides did not notice anything in a melee at night, and waited until the sky was bright "The two sides gathered their soldiers and horses and looked at it, and found the problem: A decisive battle is inevitable.
Ten thousand horses were together, the battlefield was silent, and Pan Meice was ecstatic in front of the horse army.
The coveted desire to find the main force of the enemy and destroy the main force of the enemy as much as possible before the decisive battle in Youzhou was actually realized in such a way at this time.
The prancing horse stared, Pan Mei whipped and pointed at the Liao army, and shouted loudly: "The Liao army is in front of you, which general can break the formation for this commander" "The last will go," Li Huating and Tong Yu asked for their lives at the same time, and after glancing at each other, Tong Yu smiled modestly: "General Li, your department only has 10,000 iron cavalry, and there are no less than 70,000 enemies in front of you. ” Li Huating's face was full of fierce light, and he said murderously: "If you want to annihilate the enemy, you must be a general, break the formation, and a certain 10,000 soldiers and horses are enough."
Octave Bar:
