The soldiers and horses in Youzhou City are still enough to hold the city, and the food in Youzhou City is enough to support it for another three years, but the internal and external isolation, and the torment of not seeing the reinforcement banner as far as the eye can see is unbearable.
Especially since the emperor and the empress dowager are in Youzhou, if the supreme ruler of an empire and his imperial ministers can't get in touch for three years, then can the world still be under his control Xiao Xuan, who was trapped in Youzhou City, was not worried about the war under her nose, although the Song army was brave, but as the Youzhou City of Nanjing, Liao State, there were her and the emperor, and there was more than Yue Yelu Huge, it was by no means so easy to break, what she was really worried about was the outer line, the empire that lost its ruler, maybe it would collapse from the inside if it didn't need an external enemy.
There are Wenchen Guo Xi in the southern courtyard, in the military general Yelu Xiante, and there is a room in the northern courtyard, which are all courtiers she can trust, but the obedience of the imperial ministers to them stems from their trust in them, when they lose contact with the entire empire, it is difficult for them to deter the ministers, especially the children of the clan, the Yelu family is more tiger and wolf men, they are not very convinced by the little emperor, thanks to their iron and bloody wrists, they firmly control the power and military power of the empire, once they cut off contact with the outside world, it will not take three years, It only takes a year to make the royal family have different intentions, support the new lord, and abandon her and the emperor.
For this reason, Xiao Xuan is worried.
Looking up at the starry sky, Xiao Xuan sighed faintly.
The cold night, no wind, the sky is a sparse star, she doesn't hate Yang Hao, she is a ruler, sitting in her position, she knows Yang Hao's position, and she understands why he did it, if she were in Yang Hao's position, she would make the same choice.
However, how big is Yang Hao's appetite, and will this war be out of control "Mother's Parent" Xiao Xuan hurriedly walked over, picked him up, wrapped his cloak around his body, and said angrily: "Don't sleep well, what are you doing when you run out, look at you, you are sweating from sleep, what should I do if I catch the cold?"
The prison coquettishly said: "Mother, the prison wants my mother to sleep with me." ” Xiao Xuan nodded on his forehead and said angrily: "Prison, you are the emperor of a country, unlike the children of ordinary families, your mother has a lot of things to do, you have to be obedient." ” "Oh" Prison Er responded obediently, blinking a pair of black eyes and thinking, and asked, "Is my mother thinking about how to defeat Yang Hao?"
Xiao Xuan sighed faintly and did not answer, and after thinking about it carefully, he said angrily: "Mother, why did that big evil man come to fight us, does he like to fight?"
Xiao Xuan hugged him and walked slowly under the corridor, the lights and candles lit her face: "Prison, no one likes to fight, fighting, sometimes it is like a matter of course, and at that moment, it will naturally be fought."
He won't come to beat us today, but we'll beat them tomorrow.
There are many, many reasons, and this is not something that can be determined by the emperor's personal likes and dislikes. ” "The emperor, rich in the world, powerful all over the world, controls the fate of everyone, and is the only one, but at the price, the emperor who is exalted to the pinnacle of everyone represents the wishes and interests of the foundation of his rule.
Ordinary people can't think of things that can't be seen, you have to see and think, you have to stand taller than everyone else, see farther, walk in front of all the people, represent their ligai, you can become the one who everyone supports, otherwise, one day, you, or your successor, will have to be abandoned by them.
The change of rivers and mountains, the rise and fall of empires, to put it bluntly, is actually only one reason. “ Behind the fate of those in power, and behind the different positions, there is a mountain of different interest groups.
If you carry your own Ligai Group, then this backer will immediately become the power that crushes you, and you will go from the peak of this mountain to the cornerstone of the bottom.
To conform to the position of his own class, the emperor can do whatever he wants, and other people can be regarded as generals and ministers, and it is a big deal to do nothing and be a cloth cloth, and the emperor, the emperor stands too high, so there is no way out.
Looking at his son's innocent eyes, Xiao Xuan sighed softly: Tonight is very quiet, the defenders are tired, I believe that the Song army outside the city will be even more sad, maybe there will be no more war tonight, say accompany his son to sleep well.
Thinking about it, she kissed her baby son lightly on the forehead, and was about to carry him back to the room, when she suddenly heard a fighting sound in the distance tearing up the silence of the night.
Xiao Sui stopped and sighed secretly: "Is it starting to attack the city again?"
Just about to hand over her son to the palace maid and rush to the city to see, she suddenly found that there was something strange tonight, the sound of fighting only came from the north city, and the other three cities were silent, which was completely different from the scene of the Song army's launch of the four cities attacking together, and the sound of killing in the city shook the sky.
Xiao Xuan's heart moved: "This situation is a bit strange, it could be that reinforcements have arrived, and they have broken through the outer defense line of the Song army and attacked the city of Youzhou."
As soon as he thought of this, Xiao Sui hurriedly handed over his son to the personal maid who was waiting for him, and hurried to the front court.
"Mother's Parent" The prison child shouted reluctantly, Xiao Sui didn't care to answer at all, she pressed the hilt of the sword, and rushed to the vestibule with a gust of wind, the sound of fighting woke up the guards in the house, the war horse was already behind, Xiao Sui turned over and got on the horse, the door of the house was wide open, and a group of people and horses hurricane out, straight to the north city.
Under the sparse starry sky, the earth is light gray, looking down from the city, you can clearly see in the distance that there is a galaxy-like flowing fire team approaching the city of Youzhou, from the fierce shouting and the violent shaking of the torches can be seen the fierceness of the battle, Yelu Hugo held the battlement, nervously looked at the team, secretly praying that they could break through the defense line of the Song army.
It's not that he doesn't want to open the city to respond, the stone that arrives at the gate under the city, the big wood that seals the door, and even the obstacles such as the knife cart of the Saimen have already been removed, and the three thousand fully draped iron horsemen are ready to stop, but this is the night, he must confirm that it is indeed his own men and horses rushing into battle, Yang Hao is scheming, he knows that he does not want to deceive the queen mother and the emperor in the city, he must be cautious.
The iron cavalry outside the city is approaching the city of Youzhou regardless of sacrifice, the knife is like a horse, blood is splashed, and people continue to fall off the horse, but at this time, human life is like a dog, who cares about who's life or death.
A Liao army swung his knife and slashed obliquely, just split a Song army in half, and a spear had been killed from the side like lightning, and with a pop penetrated from the lower abdomen, straight into the intestines, and the gods couldn't save him.
Similar scenes were played out everywhere, steel knives slashed wildly in the darkness, mercilessly tearing flesh and bones, like chopping melons and vegetables, one person fell, more people pounced, and then they were swallowed up by the raging waves, becoming a mutilated corpse.
The great sacrifice was exchanged for approaching the city of Youzhou step by step, and all the soldiers of this Liao army were as fearless as moths to a fire, and they had no turning back.
They are dead soldiers, and when they leave the capital, they go up The people who stayed behind in Beijing only removed their names from the roster and gathered their family members.
Even if they all die here, as long as the outside situation is shot on the city in the form of letters, so that the Queen Mother knows the current critical situation of the empire, then everyone is a martyr, and it is a martyr who has made immortal contributions to the Great Liao State, as long as the Great Liao exists for a day, their descendants can be supported by the imperial court, this is the oath of the royal family and the royal clansmen, princes and chiefs of Shangjing, if the promise they made fails, whether they fight to the death or not, all the family members are enslaved, No leniency.
Yes, everyone serves to die, the Liao army is full of strength to break through, the offensive is fierce, its situation, compared to the original Yang Jiye led 8,000 dead soldiers to attack the Song camp to attack and kill Zhao Guangyi is not inferior, where the Liao army passed, the corpses and horse remains are all over the place, the severed head and poke the limbs are unbearable, the blood is mixed with mud, the ground is dark red, it is difficult to distinguish between the enemy and me, the huge sacrifice, and the courage of the outlaw, let them approach the next step to Youzhou City.
"What's going on" Xiao Xuan rushed to the city, and Brother Yelu Xiu hurriedly said: "Queen Mother, under the city" Xiao Xuan only glanced at it, and said, "Why don't you go out of the city to answer?"
Yelu Xiuge bowed down and said: "The Song army is cunning and fearful."
As soon as he said this, a Liao army broke through the encirclement, ran frantically to the city, and shouted loudly in Khitan language, the Liao state has been in existence for a long time, and naturally has a set of formed systems in its own army construction, such as the issue of contact under this special situation, if there is no set of pre-formulated code words, then there is no one who can pass on information except for the people who know the generals As soon as he heard what the man was shouting, Yelu Hugo jumped up suddenly, and even forgot to salute Xiao Xuan: "Open the city, answer" said and galloped down the city, jumped on a horse, and the big gun was already in his hand.
The Liao army under the city was already ready to stop, the city gate immediately rumbled open, the drawbridge was lowered at the same time, and Yelu Hugo took the lead and rushed out with iron horses.
The Liao soldier under the city only shouted a few times, and then fell off the horse after being hit by the arrow of the Song army, and Yelu Xiu Ge rushed towards it with a gallop, and someone set up the man and hurried back to the city, while the other soldiers and horses followed Yelu Xiu Ge and killed the Song army camp.
In the camp of the Song Army, Yang Hao was dressed in military uniform, standing quietly on the hanging half-watchtower.
Reach out to pick up the stars, and the high places are not cold.
In the distance, the Liao army gradually converged with the soldiers and horses in the city, and Yang Hao secretly sighed.
The siege of the city, if protracted, was no less bearable for him.
He has just taken over the Song Dynasty, he needs a great victory to consolidate the throne, but it is not a long-term war that makes the people angry to shake his foundation, the great victory can make the people of the country raise their eyebrows, but the war also has a war cost, if like Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty, the accumulation of the two generations of hard work of the ancestors and fathers are all consumed, and four-fifths of the country's population is made so that the family can not survive by selling their children and daughters, that is the poor soldier and silent force.
The cost of war for agrarian peoples is more than a multiple compared to that of nomadic peoples.
If you don't do it too much, you can do everything in moderation.
During the Han Dynasty, the country has been paid for several generations, although his war has made the people unhappy, and there are many complaints, at least he has not been overthrown by anyone, but it is difficult to say about Yang Hao at present.

It's time to end, and hopefully at this time, I don't want to be like an ordinary woman, where emotions prevail over reason, and stubbornly prefer to burn jade.
No, she won't Because she is Xiao Xuan.
The women in the middle of the women, only Wu Cong and Xiao Xuan, she will definitely make a wise choice.
"Boom" The city gate was closed heavily, and Yelu Huge fought bloodily, snatched back one hundred and ten Liao soldiers who broke the formation, and hurriedly retreated to the city.
Little by little, the commotion subsided, and soon calm returned, and the city and the city returned to a dull silver-gray color.
The news of the arrival of the messenger from Shangjing spread with an incredible speed through the streets and alleys, and the soldiers and people in the city knew about it, and I don't know how many people stayed up all night that night, quietly waiting for further news, hoping that the messenger would bring them out of despair.
Yang Hao stood quietly on the watchtower for a long time before he walked down step by step.
As soon as he arrived, a person rushed to his side in front of the generals of the Song army, and supported him respectfully, as if he was afraid that he would fall, and he was attentive and numb.
This person is the cousin of the Jurchen Anche Bone Bead in the real head of the Wulin Valley, who rushed to Western Xia and asked Yu Ziyu for his plan.
Yang Hao smiled slightly, neither satisfied with his hospitality, nor disgusted and disdainful.
They are like this, when they are afraid of you and ask for you, they can offer their beauties to you, and they can compliment you as the Khan of Heaven; When the strength is far inferior to you, they can be extremely tame, such as the Jurchen to the Khitan, such as the Mongols to the Jurchen, if they can bend and stretch, they are the real Goujian heirs, they only respect strength.
"If the official family wants to negotiate peace with the Liao people, it must be far-reaching, and the villain does not dare to discuss it, only to go to the Liao people, although they are vulnerable in front of the official soldiers, but for us, they are still invincible enemies, and when the Liao people are angry with our Jurchens, how can it be good for our Jurchens, but they really serve the official family."
"You can rest assured" Yang Hao smiled slightly: "You rebelled against the Khitan, of course, the Liao people were too oppressed and could not survive.
But the Northern Expedition of the United Road, you have contributed very much, how can the United pat your ass and leave, let you face the revenge of the Liao people, hehe, the Union has already planned for you, now the seven states in front of the mountain, except for Youzhou, have all been in the hands of the Union, after the success of the peace, the Union will be stationed in Ying, Mo, Zhuo, You, Shun, Tan, and Ji."
Wu Lintao hesitated: "I'm afraid, it's difficult to quench your thirst from far water." ” Yang Hao said with a smile: "The Lian has not finished speaking, since you have abandoned Liao and Song, if you are bullied by the Liao, wouldn't it be the face of the Lian Lian who is now advancing into Liaoyang Mansion, and will not go back after the peace, the Lian will let them be stationed in the border area between you and the Liao, if the Liao people intend to oppress, the Lian will also increase troops nearby, and your safety does not need to worry." ” Yang Hao said as he walked: "The United Nations has ordered the DPRK and China to re-approve the annual tribute according to your situation, sympathetic to your survival is not easy, try to reduce the tribute, Beizhu and Haidongqing will be exempted from teaching."
Wu Lintao was overjoyed, grateful, and blurted out a sycophant like the water of the Yellow River.
Yang Hao patted him on the shoulder and smiled silently.
The distribution range of the Jurchen tribes is roughly the scope of the Bohai State established by the Han Ju tribe at the end of the Su, that is, the area of the three eastern provinces in later generations, and is connected to the Murwei, so many years, although the Jurchen has gradually risen, but under the oppression and intentional differentiation of the Liao State, they have never grown, they are still struggling with food and clothing, and they have no desire and consciousness for the regime at all, so yes There is no deep understanding of what the garrison of the Song State means.
The Jurchen Wanyan clan has been wiped out by the Anche Guda clan, and Wanyan Aguta will never be born again, but the times create heroes, heroes come into being, without Wanyan Aguda, as long as the environment remains the same, the development of history remains the same, and when the times are lucky, there will naturally be people who repeat everything that Aguta should do, and the tiger and wolf of Jinguo, who are determined to be in the world in the future, are still the same beggar brothers who want to take advantage of the shade of a big tree, Yang Hao turned them over with a little favor.
The lights in the Nanjing Left-behind Mansion in Youzhou City were bright, but the faces of the generals were even darker than the night outside the mansion.
They are like a group of travelers left on an isolated island, maybe one day there is a tsunami, it will sweep them into the sea, and they will look forward to it for a day and night, and finally hope for a ship, but they did not expect that the ship is more dangerous than the island they are staying on, because it is sinking The Empress Dowager and Empress were trapped in Youzhou, completely cut off from the outside world, and had lost control of the empire; The lord and faction and the surrender faction in Shangjing have gained the upper hand, which is the most terrible, and it is even more terrible than the resurgence of the ambitions of some royal magnates and the rebellious flag, because the key to the siege of Youzhou lies in the reinforcements, and the reinforcements and the radiant weight are subject to Shangjing, once the wind direction in Shangjing changes After the dance, her jade face was blue, her heart was like ice, Rao was always calm, and she had no idea at the moment.
Jerushuge stood up suddenly, his big hand clenched his sword, the green tendons on the back of his palm were as tense as earthworms, he gasped heavily for a moment, and then sat down again.
After a moment of uncertainty with a gloomy face, Huo Di stood up again, gritted his teeth for a long time, and sat down heavily, like this three or five times, the generals in the court all looked at him in surprise, and even Xiao Sui's wonderful eyes were on him.
At first, Xiao Xuan's gaze was also a little surprised, but after looking at it for a while, a trace of realization flashed in her eyes, and her gaze dimmed again.
She guessed correctly, Yelu Huge really wanted to protect her and the emperor to give up Youzhou and fight their way out of the encirclement.
But you can imagine how dangerous it is, and you can imagine how difficult it is for these dead soldiers to break through today.
Because of this, Jeruxiugo pondered and repeatedly rejected the decision he had made.
He is not afraid of death, but he can't afford the risk of losing the queen mother and the emperor, if he is outside the city now, he can also use the power greater than the control of the team to think of a way, but he is also in the city now, it is the tiger falling in Pingyang, the dragon trapped in the shallows, and the situation on the outside line is so sinister, it can no longer be delayed.
The queen mother and the emperor have been trapped here for several months, without any hope of getting out of trouble, what is the difference between the country and the country losing its king After a long time, Yelu Xiuge said in a heavy tone: "Yelu Xianqing and Guo Xi are exhausted to deal with the Song army in Fuzhou and Yanmen Pass, and they are unable to look north; The Jingshi Han army rebelled, and it was difficult to support the room; The traces of the Song army are now in Tokyo, and the chieftains of the eight clans of Khitan have begun to retreat to the desert.
The Queen Mother, although I am in Youzhou, but the danger of going to Beijing is already above Youzhou, the Queen Mother will not return to Beijing in time, regain the center in the palm of her hand, and the Great Liao will fall apart, which may be difficult to avoid. “ He paused, and said bitterly: "Queen Mother, let's try to negotiate peace with the Song people."
Xiao Tzu stood up suddenly, and said angrily: "Greater than Yue, this is the good way you came up with" Yelu Hugo looked at him coldly and said, "What do you think?"
Rin raised his arms and shouted: "The reinforcements can't be feared, we will kill them" "It's easier said than done" Brother Yelu Xiu was also annoyed, Huo Ran got up and said: "The deployment under the city of Youzhou is mainly aimed at the city, and the difficulty of breaking through from the inside to the outside will inevitably be doubled, and it is especially difficult to break through with light cavalry and protect the queen mother and the emperor.
The most important thing is that a large number of reinforcements are blocked from a few passes, although it is difficult to enter Youzhou, but once you enter the city, you can take advantage of the strong city to get safe, and break through to the outside and not to mention whether the breakthrough is successful or not, even if it is really successful, can you escape the encirclement and interception of the Song army all the way You must know that now the seven states in front of the mountain, in addition to this Youzhou city, are all in the hands of the Song army, you must know that the Song army now has a large number of cavalry, and we do not have the ability to quickly get rid of the enemy. ” Dancing Tart Rin's face was blue for a while, red for a while, suddenly his eyebrows were angry, and he wanted to speak and stopped, for a long time, and finally sat down.
In terms of identity, Xiao Tzu Rin is the queen mother's brother and absolute confidant; In terms of martial arts, he is also among the three tiger generals of the Great Liao, and he can be on an equal footing with Brother Yelu Xiu and the king of the Southern Courtyard, Yelu Xianqing, General Xiao has nothing to say, and the other civil and military forces are naturally speechless.
Xiao Xuan's face was as cold as water, and he was silent for a long time before narrowing his eyes slightly and said: "The Song army is sharp, will they agree to negotiate peace?"
As soon as these words came out, the civil and military forces knew that the Queen Mother, under the pressure of internal and external difficulties, had the intention of settling the battle through negotiations.
Now that the Queen Mother has set the general direction, it will be easy to do.
Among the courtiers, after all, most of them are riding on the wall, and war or peace is not something they can decide, and the words before the queen mother does not have a clear attitude of war or peace will inevitably become a handle, and once it is counterattacked in the future, it will be greatly disadvantageous to his career.
Now that the Queen Mother has made her attitude clear, all the ministers suddenly became active, and you and I have expressed their positions one after another, but unfortunately most of them are trying to figure out the meaning of the Empress Dowager Xiao to incite the wind and ignite the fire, and there is nothing substantial.
Wu Tart Rin is a pure general, let him fight, he is not good at this kind of thing at all, he is just sitting there just staring at a pair of bull's eyes and listening to others, the more he listens, the more confused he becomes.
"Yang Hao will agree to make peace" A voice, like a final word, was quiet when the hall was noisy, and it was the one who spoke more than Brother Yue Yelu Hugh.
He said calmly: "We don't know much about the reality of Song Guo, but from Yang Hao's actions, we can see some clues.
Judging from Yang Hao's various behaviors since his career, this person is accustomed to opportunism, and he will definitely not choose thunderous means if he can solve things with the smallest sacrifice.
At best, this is what he has always shown compassion for the people and the people, and at worst, this is just determined by his background and experience, unless it is a matter of life and death, this businessman will never take all his capital."
Who knows a person best his enemies.

If this enemy is also his rival in love, then he can simply be a confidant.
Yelu Hugo said: "The Song State has just obtained it through the means of Zen, how can he leave the center for a long time, and if Yang Hao is not in a hurry to end the war, he will not continue to attack regardless of the loss, maybe Youzhou will be defended for a while, and the whole battle will be reversed, but" A bitter and helpless smile appeared on Yelu Huge's lips: "It's just that we can't be sure how long he can last, and we can't hold on anymore." ” The hall fell silent again, and for a long time, Xiao Xuan's cold voice said: "Ink marks, early tomorrow morning, go to Song Ying to meet and discuss peace and affairs":
