[February 27, Daily News] Fork in the road

Posted by: roddick1

The chapters yesterday and today showed us an obvious fact - the great melee between the Song, Liao and Xia Kingdoms is about to begin, and except for the Xia Kingdom, the remaining two countries have huge internal problems.

Uncle Guan borrowed the words of Yang Hao and Brother Yeluxiu to come up with a final answer for this melee——

First, Yang Hao sent Ke Zhen E to follow Xiao Liu to Chang'an, because "Yang Hao knew what he was thinking, and he also felt that whether it was God's will to trick people or things were helpless, these two things really wronged Ke Zhen E, and he

After some thought, I felt that once Chang'an was captured, the Song Army in Guanzhong would inevitably have to counterattack. Judging from the time, Zhao Guangyi should have returned by then. Under his personal command, the Song Army's counterattack would not be small.

”.

Secondly, Brother Yelvxiu said, "The Song State brazenly tore up the treaty and invaded our country, Daliao. Now that we have suffered a huge defeat, the Queen Mother must have decreed that we will raise troops to go south and order all the troops not to quarrel with Luo Ke's enemy or Li Jilong's tribe."

, try your best to kill and injure the Song army and create opportunities for us to invade south."

It should be said that the most unlucky one this time was the Song State. Whether it was the Xia State or the Liao State, they were all running wild on their territory. However, there are some details that need to be considered in detail.

Judging from Yang Hao's current thoughts, he sent Ke Zhen'e to Chang'an as a sign of taking a defensive stance. Because Xia's national strength was not strong, the conquest of Longyou took up a lot of troops. After the conquest of Longyou was completed,

It is not necessarily possible to completely digest that area and directly bring troops to the battlefield. Therefore, Yang Hao's plan should be to make full use of public opinion and slowly win over those who are dissatisfied with Uncle Zhao, such as Zhao Pu and Lu Duoxun.

, Pan Mei, Cao Bin and others, it seems that he is going to fight for a long time.

Brother Yelu Xiu is not like that. Although Uncle Zhao's Northern Expedition was a breach of the treaty and an invasion, if the Liao army entered the Song Dynasty, it would also be an invasion. It was just an "invasion with a reason for war." Since it was an invasion, the invader had to face

He also had problems such as unfamiliarity with geography, acclimatization, etc. So if he wanted to fight, he would have to take advantage of the new defeat of Uncle Zhao, the chaos in army command, and low morale to quickly send his troops south.

If Brother Yelvxiu had the autonomy, I think he would definitely go south, because this opportunity is so good, it can almost be said to be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. But the problem is, he is a general, not an emperor, what should he do?

It depends on Empress Dowager Xiao's will - when Brother Yelvxiu's achievements have shaken the Lord and there are rumors all over the capital, will Empress Dowager Xiao still sit back and watch Brother Yelvxiu lead the troops to further increase his prestige and power? This is

A fork in the road.

Another fork in the road is more important - will Uncle Zhao be killed by Bi Su? This point is very important. If Uncle Zhao returns to Bianliang alive, then with his skill, he can naturally prepare for war and let the Liao Kingdom

Dare not invade the south, and then use all their strength to deal with Yang Hao and others. If Uncle Zhao dies, and Zhao Charshu takes the throne, will his mind full of the Three Cardinal Principles and Five Constant Rules come up with any whimsical ideas? For example, return the throne to "

"King Qi"?

What’s even more troublesome is that Brother Yelvxiu and Uncle Zhao were both injured. Brother Yelvxiu was “shot in the hind leg by a gun, and he dismounted from the horse in pain and fainted, and then he was carried down by his trusted aides.”

"Brother only regrets that he is seriously injured now and has difficulty moving, so he can't compete with Luo and Li." And Uncle Zhao said, "Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow in the buttocks and thigh. He didn't clean up the remaining poison in time at the beginning, and the wound was swollen."

"High,... the wound burst open and blood flowed gurglingly", "he roared suddenly, like a wounded tiger, it was extremely miserable".

Being injured but not dying is one kind, being unable to move is another kind, being seriously injured and being carried back to the base camp is another kind, being injured and recovering is another kind. There are indeed a few more variables, which has caused a lot of speculation.

trouble, so we have to look at Uncle Guan’s next episode to see what the plot will be like.
