Han Zhen's entourage reported to Han Zhen: "Zhang Dayan did not go straight back to the palace, but went to the tea shop to have tea!"
Han Zhen opened his eyes and said, "Didn't you go straight back to the camp? Instead, you went to the tea shop? Why weren't you following me?"
The other party said: "The city was in chaos at that time. I also asked the shopkeeper and found out that everything was normal with Mr. Zhang Dalang."
Han Zhen's suspicion subsided and he said, "Don't take it lightly. There has been no family that has been prosperous and prosperous for thousands of years. Our Han family has come to this point, so we need to be careful."
Speaking of this, Han Zhen couldn't help but feel angry when he thought about Weizhou's defeat.
I thought that after the Battle of Liangzhou, the party was shaken up and down and morale was depressed. Unexpectedly, Weizhou won first and then lost, losing troops and generals.
He had just told the envoy that Dang Xiang was vulnerable and there were treacherous ministers in the court, so he did not want him to achieve great achievements. As a result, as soon as he finished speaking, Dang Xiang attacked his retreat and was defeated in Weizhou.
Why was Zhang San able to win by attacking the party item, but he himself was defeated?
This is something Han Zhen cannot understand no matter how much he thinks about it.
When times are bad, the hero is short of breath.
…
It was Dangxiang who presided over this battle. It was Dangxiang's new commander-in-chief, Wei Ming A'Mian, and the supervisor of the army, Mele Dubu.
Yelu Hongji, the leader of the Liao Kingdom, forced, or in other words, Li Bingchang, the leader of the Dangxiang Kingdom, used the power of the Liao Kingdom to murder Empress Liang, and imprisoned Liang Yibu's entire family and exiled them to Heishui Town.
Although the ministers have been saying that they want to kill the Liang family to avoid future troubles.
Li Bingchang thought of Empress Liang holding up the poisonous wine and drinking it down in one gulp, but in the end he did not act so cruelly.
After the Liang family was eradicated, Li Bingchang agreed to marry the Khitan princess, and the alliance between the party and the Khitan was officially concluded.
After clearing away the troubles among his confidants, Li Bingchang, the leader of the Dangxiang State, immediately ordered Ami, a member of the royal family, to replace Liang Yibu and serve as the prime minister and commander of the left wing.
After hearing the news of the Song army's attack on Weizhou, Dangxiang's country was also in chaos. Will the Song army suddenly send troops to Weizhou to stage a battle to destroy the country? Will he run into the Song army if he rushes to save it at this time?
After the Song army captured Liangzhou, they could threaten Dangxiang's hinterland to the east at any time, or attack Lingzhou from Jingyuan Road. Many veterans even brought up the previous proposal to move the capital and persuaded Li Bingchang to move the capital to Dingzhou, and even took refuge in Keyimen first.
Get out of the limelight.
This place is relatively close to the Liao Kingdom. If the front is blocked, you can also escape to the Liao Kingdom.
Hearing this argument, Li Bingchang was almost furious. The Song Dynasty wanted to attack Weizhou, not Lingzhou. The party had not declined to this extent.
Fortunately, the new commander-in-chief Wei Ming A Mi believed that the Song Dynasty's attack on Weizhou was to test whether Dangxiang had the strength to fight after the defeat of Liangzhou. With the national power of the Song Dynasty, it was impossible to fight again after the huge consumption of Liangzhou Battle.
The party carried out a war to destroy the country.
No matter what the intentions of the Song Dynasty, peace can only be achieved if there is war. From ancient times to the present, there is no reason why peace cannot be achieved without war.
Immediately Li Bingchang ordered Wei Ming A'Mian to send troops from the Sixth Route Army to rescue Weizhou.
After Weiming Ami left, in order to calm the hearts of the people in Xingqing Mansion, Li Bingchang led the Dangxiang warriors to hunt at the foot of Helan Mountain outside the city. In fact, he was also preparing to hunt in Dingzhou in the north after Weiming Ami was defeated.
Looking at the majestic Helan Mountain, Li Bingchang often visited here. The galloping horses on the rock paintings on the mountain wall were painted by hundreds and thousands of years ago, but they very much resembled the free and uninhibited temperament of the Dangxiang people.
If a nation wants to survive with powerful neighbors like the Khitans and the Han people, the price it pays and the effort it takes are huge.
Thinking of this, Li Bingchang closed his eyes and couldn't help but think of Empress Liang after drinking poisonous wine.
…
Yelu Hongji, the Lord of the Liao Dynasty, sat in Yunzhong, and one hundred thousand Pishi troops were stationed here.
Along the way, Xiao Derang saw countless armored cavalry passing by, their swords scraping against iron weapons, and war horses neighing and stamping on the ground. Xiao Derang felt at ease, there was nothing in the world that was more reassuring than his own armored cavalry.
He heard that during the northwest imperial edict, Fang defeated several rebellious and disobedient tribes, and also reached an alliance with Dangxiang, and everything went well.
At this time, Xiao Derang, who had previously been on an envoy to the Song Dynasty, also returned from Bianjing.
At this moment, Yelu Hongji was sitting in the big tent, drinking from a gold cup and listening to Xiao Derang's report.
Xiao Derang said to Yelu Hongji: "Your Majesty, although the Southern Dynasty has repeatedly denied it, there is a high probability that the traitor Yelu Yixin is in the Song Dynasty."
Xiao Derang's words made Yelu Hongji frown and said: "It's just as I expected."
"Yelü Yixin must be sent back to the country and punished!"
Xiao Derang said: "The people of the Song Dynasty have just captured Liangzhou, and they have quite strong troops and horses. Their prime minister, Zhang Du, has seen him as a figure no less than Brother Yelvxiu and Yelvrenxian."
Yelu Hongji said: "The Central Plains cannot be ignored, especially since the Song Dynasty has had a great leader in recent years. He has successively appointed Wang Anshi and Zhang Yue, both of whom are extraordinary figures."
Xiao Derang said: "I am going to the Southern Dynasty this time to observe its folk customs. The people are determined to revitalize the country and conquer the Han and Tang Dynasties. It seems to me that within a few years, there will be a battle between Song and Liao!"
Yelu Hongji said: "It's good that you are not blinded by the prosperity of Bianjing. I also saw that I deliberately planned to go south to preemptively strike, but Yelu Po and other ministers objected, saying that our Liao country also has hidden worries, and I would not go against the public opinion.
"
Xiao Derang did not want the risk of a war between Song and Liao to be too high: "In fact, although Daliao has risen in the past hundred years and has stronger soldiers and horses than the Southern Dynasty, its foundation is not as solid as the Southern Dynasty after all. Otherwise, our ancestors would not be alive, regardless of Daliao.
At some point, the 20,000 cavalrymen in Duncheng are not allowed to go south."
Kedun City is where the Northwest Road Recruiting Division is stationed. There are 20,000 cavalry and hundreds of thousands of horses here.
Yelu Hongji said: "This is a retreat left to Daliao by our ancestors."
Xiao Deyang said: "What's more, in recent years, Goryeo and straight women have not been as respectful as before."
"If anything goes wrong in the Song Dynasty, there will be rebellion among the people."
Xiao Derang thought that the Liao Kingdom's suppression of the four directions was a matter of "power", which was suppressed by strong troops and horses. Once this power was broken, it would be ruined.
This is not like the Song Dynasty, so Yelu Hongji has always been interested in imitating the Han system, and this is also true.
Yelu Hongji said: "We in Daliao have many elite soldiers and generals, but what we lack are capable ministers who can govern the country."
Yelu Hongji thought, the ministers were unwilling to go to war with the Song Dynasty, and I could not force them. But Yelu Yixin had to go back. In the Spring and Autumn Period, Wei Sijun would rather use a city to exchange for the escaped prisoner Xu Mi, and
What's more, I, the King of Wei of Liao Dynasty.
"We will discuss this matter later, but no matter what, we must demand the king of Wei back. We will see him dead or his body alive. I will send envoys to the Southern Dynasty again."
"Xiao Derang, you have done a good job this time. You have explored the truth of the Southern Dynasty and confirmed my suspicion that the Southern Dynasty has the intention of moving north. It's very good. I didn't expect that I would encounter this in my old age.
Strong enemies, but the world of our Liao Kingdom was created by annihilating powerful enemies from all directions!"
The courtiers on the left and right said one after another.
"Yes, Your Majesty, since the Han people are dissatisfied, Your Majesty will lead our Liao cavalry to capture the three hundred military states of the Southern Dynasty and seize the throne of the Song Dynasty emperor."
"Let the Emperor of the Song Dynasty serve me wine. As for Zhang Yue, if he is willing to surrender, he can be made an official who will drink and compose poems to entertain me!"
Xiao Derang listened to the courtier's words and thought, after all these years, Yelu Hongji is still so happy to hear the praise.
