In less than half a day, the unsuspecting Yanmen Pass was captured by the Miao troops. Subsequently, the Song court had high hopes, and the method followed by the Donkey Cart Emperor (Zhao Guangyi) of the Song Dynasty was to demolish cities and build low-lying areas in Hebei.
It also failed to hinder the advance speed of the Miao army. In less than two months, the Miao army, led by Cheng Qian, swept through all areas of Hebei. Before the Song court could react, the troops arrived at the Yellow River.
By the time the Song court began to gather surrounding troops in Kaifeng, Cheng Qian's army had already crossed the Yellow River and headed straight for Kaifeng.
And Emperor Zhao Xi of the Song Dynasty was worthy of the posthumous title of "Zhe Zong" and was stronger than his brother the future Huizong and his younger nephew "Qin Zong".
In the next few months, knowing that nothing could be done, he directly abandoned Kaifeng and Luoyang and led his troops to retreat to Chang'an. While strengthening the defense of Tongguan, he called on the troops of King Qin from various places to gather in Guanzhong.
Due to other circumstances, such as Shandong and other places that were too far away, Jiangnan and other places that were too busy to take care of themselves had to hold on to the city and wait for the imperial army to come to rescue.
At the same time, he called on heroes from all over the world to rise up and resist Miao rule.
It was during these few months that the situation in Liao Kingdom changed again.
Yelu Hongji, who was supposed to be in a difficult situation, had a shocking turn of events.
Originally, Yelu Chongyuan had won and lost in several battles with Yelu Hongji, and suffered more losses than Yelu Hongji. However, due to his large number of soldiers, the situation of the war inevitably gradually moved closer to him.
It stands to reason that as long as Yelu Chongyuan makes good use of his military superiority and wears away Yelu Hongji's troops bit by bit, Yelu Hongji also fails to respond to his rebellion in time, causing him to be trapped in an isolated city, with all his retreats cut off and unable to do anything.
Get effective supplements.
Unexpectedly, a letter of challenge from Yelu Hongji arrived, which made him want to rely on his military superiority to complete his victory in one battle.
Unexpectedly, he was suddenly killed by a man in the battle formation, rushed in front of him, and was captured alive. However, his son Yelu Nerugu retreated completely thanks to the protection of the Miao border guards, and was not beaten to death by that man's palm.
After the man captured Yelu Chongyuan, he did not retreat. Instead, he told the remaining soldiers in his formation to surrender.
Yelu Hongji also responded in time and personally led his troops to the front of the formation to surrender. At one time, more than 100,000 people surrendered.
Then both sides stopped fighting and returned to camp.
That night, Yelu Hongji held a banquet for the generals to celebrate the victory, and formally introduced to the generals the man who had changed the direction of the entire war. Everyone found out that this man's name was Xiao Feng, and he was also Yelu Hongji's sworn brother.
The King of the South Campus.
Compared with the atmosphere at Yelu Hongji's place, the rebels here were gloomy and gloomy, although his son Nerugu tried to stabilize the soldiers in each camp and reorganize the troops to fight again.
But the situation was over. After all, Nerugu did not have the prestige and ability to command so many soldiers and horses. In addition, Yelu Hongji personally surrendered before going to battle again, saying that bygones were bygones. Many tribal troops killed the confidants arranged by Yelu Zhongyuan.
, turned against each other again.
At one time, more than 200,000 troops and horses were mobilized.
Seeing this, Yelu Nerugu knew that the situation was irreversible, so under the protection of the Miao guards, he led his own troops of about 50,000 people to flee overnight and hid under the rule of the Miao, hoping to make a comeback.
The next day, after Yelu Hongji had arranged his troops and led his troops to fight, he only received the remaining troops of more than 100,000.
Unable to capture Nerugu, one of the culprits, Yelu Hongji immediately decided to lead more than 30,000 elite palace troops under his command under the protection of Xiao Feng to pursue him, hoping to capture Nerugu alive before he crossed over to the Liao-Miao border.
.
Nerugu and his troops suffered heavy losses due to Yelu Hongji's pursuit in the following period. If not for the desperate protection of the Miao border guards, he would have been almost captured several times.
Both sides chased each other. In less than a month, there were more than ten battles. Although Yelu Hongji lost nearly 10,000 palace troops, he was the orthodox emperor of Liao after all. Wherever he went, he was
Supplies and troops were replenished over a period of time, but increased by 10,000.
Yerunelugu, however, was not so lucky. After a long period of escape, his troops were exhausted, and his strength was reduced to more than 10,000. Among them, everyone was injured and their morale was low. The secret guards around him
He also lost everything because of his efforts to protect him.
Finally, Yelu Hongji intercepted Nerugu's remnants ten miles away from the Liao-Miao border, and the two sides had another fierce battle here. Just when Yelu Hongji thought he could capture Nerugu alive, he unexpectedly came.
The corresponding Miao troops arrived and joined the battlefield.
Originally, Yelu Hongji did not take the more than 20,000 Miao troops arriving seriously, and only sent 10,000 palace troops under his command to stop them. After he had completely wiped out the remnants of Nerugu, he would then join the counterattack and eat together.
Get rid of the 20,000 Miao troops who broke into the enemy's territory.
But what Yelu Hongji never expected was that the frontline war reports sent by Yelu Chongyuan before the rebellion were actually true. The elite 10,000 palace troops of the Liao Kingdom sent by Yelu Chongyuan were dispatched in less than half an hour.
It was penetrated by the Miao army and quickly reunited with the remnants of Nerugu.
Then he easily broke through the defense line organized by Yelu Hongji and returned to the Miao territory.
At this point, Yelu Hongji finally realized that the Miao army and even the entire Miao Dynasty he was facing were completely different from the previous enemies.
So under Xiao Feng's suggestion, while reorganizing the surrendered troops, he sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to discuss forming a coalition to conquer the Miao territory.
Emperor Zhao Xi of the Song Dynasty also followed the trend and sent envoys to the Liao Kingdom to discuss the communist resistance to the Miao army.
------I am the dividing line------
The Song and Liao countries were discussing alliance options, and the Liao Kingdom even sent Xiao Feng, the king of the Southern Academy, to personally go to the Song Dynasty to discuss the follow-up to show goodwill.
The Central Plains Wulin also held a Wulin Conference because of this drastic change in national affairs. Shaolin took the lead and called on all martial arts sects to discuss anti-Miao issues.
And all this information was placed on the table in the tent of the Chengqian Army that had already captured Luoyang.
The leader of the secret guard knelt in front of Cheng Qian. He picked up the information in front of him one by one and said, "Well, Song and Liao have reached an agreement. They will attack our Miao territory in three months. After defeating our Miao territory, both parties will maintain
I'm afraid that the original boundary has finally become an illusion. Now that the hidden dragon has emerged, no one can stop my hegemony. Time is mine, and the more time you give me, the smaller your chances of winning will be."
"Shaolin presides over the martial arts conference, can't you see current events clearly? Forget it, let me go in person, let me end this drama directed by me personally, and this jaw-dropping ending is just for this era.
Farewell."
"According to reports from Deng Baichuan, the areas in Hebei have been sorted out, and an additional 200,000 troops will be added within the next three months. Moreover, our army has now reached the border of Shandong in the east, and will be conquered in less than two months.
We have already reached the border of Jiangnan in the south. With my many years of infiltration, we can conquer it in less than a month. At that time, we can go down the river to capture the Bashu lands, and then attack from both sides. The Song Dynasty will be destroyed. The Liao Dynasty will be destroyed after that.
, Dali, Xixia, Tubo, when this division that has lasted for two hundred years is over, you will face the unified country you fear most."
Cheng Qian stood up and said to the secret guard leader who was kneeling in front of him: "Secret leader, order the army to repair on the spot. In addition, according to my emperor's order, with my own troops, the secret guard leader will go to Shaolin Temple with me.
