During the Qingtai period of the Later Tang Dynasty, Shi Jingtang, the governor of the Later Tang Dynasty, ceded sixteen states including You, Ji, Yun, and Shuo in exchange for Liao Taizong's assistance in sending troops. Since then, the Khitan Liao Kingdom's strength has greatly increased, and it can even drive straight into the Yellow River Basin. It has brought endless disasters to our Chinese people.
The former Youzhou City was also called Nanjing and Yanjing because it was built in the southern part of the Liao territory. It became the companion capital of the Liao Kingdom. During the hundred years since the founding of the Song Dynasty, it has been a deterrent for the Liao Kingdom and marched into the Song Dynasty. outpost.
The city of Nanjing is vast and huge. It is the largest of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty. Its city wall is three feet high and one foot and five feet wide. It is about three thousand meters long from north to south and two thousand meters wide from east to west. It is rectangular in shape. There are eight gates in the city. They are Andong and Yingchun, Xianxi and Qingjin are in the west, Kaiyang and Danfeng are in the south, and Tongtian and Gongchen are in the north.
There is a palace city built in the southwest corner of the city, with gates on all sides. The west gate is called the Xianxi Gate, the east gate is called the Xuanhe Gate, the north gate is called the Zibei Gate, and the south gate is called the Nanduan Gate. Not only are the palaces majestic and gorgeous inside, but there are also statues of the past Liao emperors. A place for fun and fun.
On this day, in the palace and the main hall of Yuanhe, I saw a man wearing an imperial robe and a white military cloak. His hair was like a whip and his temples were already gray. He looked at the official kneeling in front of him with eyes. He said angrily: "You mean this time it's not King Qi, but Zhao Ji?"
It was Yelu Chun who had just ascended the throne with the support of the ministers, and was named Emperor Tianxi.
He had finally ascended to the throne of God, but before he could be happy for a few days, he received news that Guo Yaoshi had rebelled, and that the Song army had crossed the Baigou River, captured Guiyi and Fanyang, and was approaching Nanjing.
"Exactly, both Tong Guan and Lord Yeluqi were arrested!!"
"Okay, what a Zhao Ji. Our Liao Kingdom is weak, but the Song Dynasty has been torn apart. At this time, he actually wants to seize the foundation of our Liao Kingdom," Yelu Chun said through gritted teeth.
"Zhao Ji is like this, he probably knows the situation of our Liao Kingdom. Guo Yaoshi rebelled and took away 30,000 elite soldiers of our Liao Kingdom. In order to defend against the Jin Kingdom, Juyong Pass has 30,000 elite soldiers. Now Nanjing City is fully equipped with less than 40,000 soldiers." There are many soldiers and horses, and the Song Dynasty estimates that there are 80,000 this time!!" An old minister said worriedly.
Yelu Chun smiled coldly, "They did seize a good opportunity to take advantage of the fire, but we, the Liao people, have never been afraid of Song soldiers, let alone 80,000, it was their Emperor Taizong back then. The so-called million-dollar Northern Expedition still fell short. The people of Song Dynasty are weak, but the people of Daliao are all born warriors. Now everyone is bewildered by the Kingdom of Jin. A great war is necessary to rekindle the blood of our warriors of Daliao!!"
"Yelü Dashi, Xiao Qian!!"
"Zai" saw two generals standing at the head of the civil and military ranks and immediately stood up with serious faces.
"Order you two to quickly recruit an army and form 50,000 elites. Set off immediately in three days. You must kill all the invading Hejian soldiers and let them know that our Liao Kingdom is still not their coward." The Song Dynasty can be defeated," Yelu Chun said coldly. If the Jin Kingdom killed him, he might be afraid, but for the Song Dynasty and the Song people, they, the Liao Kingdom, had never been afraid.
"yes!!"
"In addition, quickly send someone to contact Qi King Song Jiang and tell him that if our Liao Kingdom is destroyed, the Jin Kingdom will never let go of the Song Dynasty," Yelu Chun said seriously.
"yes!!"
. . . .
The next day, in Fanyang City in Zhuzhou, I saw that the entire city seemed extremely empty at this time. Only the neighing of war horses kept ringing. From time to time, a large number of elite soldiers patrolled the streets. Occasionally, one or two Liao people appeared and hurriedly came. Hidden.
At this time, in the lobby of the government office in Fanyang City, civil and military forces gathered together. A general looked at the superior Guo Pharmacist and said with some confusion: "General, why don't we just raid Nanjing instead of wasting time in Fanyang!!"
When Medicine Master Guo heard this, he said solemnly: "The city of Nanjing is tall and thick. If you want to win it, you must cooperate with the inside and the outside. If we attack by force, let alone our 60,000 troops. Even if we have twice as many troops, we will suffer huge losses. If we want to cooperate with the inside and the outside." , we must mobilize the elite from Nanjing. Only in this way can we give the people inside a chance, which means we need to fight a tough battle!!"
"If your guess is correct, Yelu Chun has already mobilized troops at this time. Based on my understanding of the Liao Kingdom, it must be Yelu Dashi and Xiao Qian. Both of them have bravery, especially Yelu Dashi. Last year he was He defeated the army of the Song Dynasty, and he also had seven thousand wolf cavalry under his command who were extremely brave!!"
"Then shall we rely on the city to fight!!"
"No, this battle must not be defended. This is not the Song Dynasty. Although we occupied Fanyang, we made sure not to kill innocent people indiscriminately, which temporarily stabilized people's hearts. However, if time goes by, there must be Liao people who are unwilling to accept it, and if Yelu Dashi blocks it If our army's retreat is blocked, the situation will be critical. In addition, as I said just now, if we fail to win this battle, it will be difficult to capture Nanjing!!"
After hearing this, Chen Yuan clasped his fists and said: "General, will Yelu Chun definitely mobilize troops? According to the news, he only has 40,000 troops at full strength, and his military strength is much inferior to ours. Now that the Jin Kingdom has taken action, will he? In order to preserve their strength, will they directly stick to Nanjing and then send people to discuss it??"
"No," Pharmacist Guo said directly.
"Why??"
"If the Kingdom of Jin comes, he will indeed do this. He has even sent people to lower his watch, but this time he knows that the Song army is coming, and he will definitely attack!!"
Hearing this, the faces of Wen and Wu present instantly darkened. Although Yaoshi Guo's words were very cryptic, everyone still understood that even though the Liao Kingdom had reached this level, they did not take them seriously at all.
I saw Yue Fei, who was standing in the first place on the right, his eyes turned cold and he clenched his fist tightly.
After Guo Yaoshi glanced at the angry generals, he said seriously: "The contempt of Liao is our opportunity. Perhaps the former Song soldiers
Dear, this chapter is not finished yet, there is still another page^0^ It is true that they can underestimate it, but now they must know that times have changed. Our army will not only not occupy the city, but will take the initiative to decide the outcome in one battle! ! "
"The general is wise!!" Everyone immediately said with ferocious eyes.
Soon after the generals left, Chen Tuo said worriedly: "General, there will be no problem!!"
Pharmacist Guo looked at Chen Yu with admiration and said, "Brother Chen, I wasn't lying just now. The reason why the Song Army was weak was not only because it valued literature over military affairs, but also because military discipline was always very poor and orders were inconsistent. Every time The dispatch of troops seems majestic, but it is indeed difficult to command one. However, I did not expect that with your efforts, Chen Zhizhou, such a big change has taken place. This time our army was able to capture two cities so quickly, except because the Liao Kingdom did not In addition to the huge defense, all the generals have the confidence to fight this battle because all armies strictly observe discipline, obey military orders, and never dare to disobey orders."
When Chen Yu heard this, he smiled bitterly and said: "This is not the effort of the lower officials, but the people sent by the king."
"Are those deputy commanders who joined the army??"
"Yes, their mission is to constantly inspire the soldiers. To be honest, general, although I am in charge of the army, if I betray the king now, I estimate that the soldiers below will kill the subordinates directly."
Pharmacist Guo's expression condensed, "His Royal Highness the King of Qi is a man of great talent and strategy. I hope to see him soon."
"General, don't worry, I'll see you soon."
After Pharmacist Guo nodded, he said seriously: "In addition to this reason, it is because of Pengju's 8,000-back Wei army!!"
"In fact, the most important thing to fight against the Liao Kingdom is the cavalry. If there were no eight thousand cavalry like Peng Ju, I might be afraid of a lot!!"
"Pengju is good, but he is still young after all," Chen Yu said with concern.
"Youth is not a problem at all. Huo Qubing of the Han Dynasty was almost the same as him. In my opinion, Pengju is the best young general I have ever seen. His Beiwei army is definitely the best in the world. In this battle, I, Medicine Master Guo, also I am willing to put everything on him," Yaoshi Guo said with sharp eyes.
"
Dear, this chapter is finished, I wish you a happy reading! ^0^
