Chapter 407
When they met Chongyuan and his son again, both of them had eggplant beaten with Frost and lost their energy. They did not dare to look at Lu Huiqing in the face, so they could only take a sneak peek...
"Your Majesty, Prince, have you been defeated?" Lu Huiqing sneered.
Chongyuan wanted to support his face, but said, "It's a bit unhappy, but the overall situation is still in my hands!"
"Pooh!"
Lu Huiqing couldn't help it anymore. He suddenly stood up and scolded him angrily.
"Yelu Ren turned against you first. A hundred thousand troops came from the west. Xiao Lu married his daughter to Yelu Hongji and turned around to beat you. Those monk soldiers were stewed by others! Your Majesty, your Majesty, you are really planning, you are like a god!"
Chongyuan was stunned and blurted out, "Do you know everything?"
"Hmph, I know what you know, and I know what you don't know," Lu Huiqing said angrily: "Mr. Wang has long seen that Yelu Hongji is different from before. You still look at people with old eyes and do some tricks that cannot be used! Do you think that relying on the promise of empty mouth and white teeth and a little money can make others get you into the fire. What do you think?"
"Do you know, in order to win over Xiao Lu, Yelu Hongji gave it to King Yanzhao!"
"ah!"
Chongyuan exclaimed, "How dare a child do this? Yan Yun is a place of wealth and wealth. The king of Yanzhao has always been under the control of the royal family. How can he give the surname Xiao?"
Lu Huiqing was speechless, "When is it now? What about the royal family? I gave you the King of Yanzhao, have you rebelled against the Great Liao?"
He was extremely angry, and Lu Huiqing didn't give Chongyuan a face, but this person was still a slut. The more he was scolded, the more guilty he felt. He looked at him and his son, and suddenly fell to the ground and cried bitterly.
"Mr. Lu, we were wrong, please help me!"
The two guys finally fell to their knees in front of them, and Lu Huiqing's mood improved a little.
He forced a smile and reached out to help them up.
"Your Majesty, the prince, the most urgent thing is to think of a solution as soon as possible!"
"way?"
Chongyuan said: "Song Dynasty, send troops quickly and help me defeat Hong Ji's son. I, I am willing to give Yan Yun!"
This person was finally generous, but at this time he didn't have the final say in Yan Yun.
Lu Huiqing sighed, "Your Majesty, Yelu Hongji's men will come to you at any time, so it's better to retreat to Youzhou as soon as possible!"
"Yes, withdraw, retreat quickly!"
Chongyuan was stupid, with tens of thousands of people, so how could he retreat? Although Lu Huiqing did not understand military affairs, he also learned a lot from Wang Ning'an.
Under his strong request, Nerugu led 10,000 troops to cut off the rear, and Chongyuan led more than 30,000 people to run to Youzhou overnight.
Almost as they ran away, Xiao Lu's men came to kill him.
He tied Chongyuan's tail tightly and was very good at killing all the way. Nerugu was struggling and lost half of his men before fleeing back to Youzhou in a panic.
When they returned to their nests, they were like frightened birds, and immediately ordered to recruit Ding Zhuang everywhere and defend Youzhou with all their might.
However, after this battle, Chongyuan's troops were half lost. The worst thing was that they had no morale. If there was no foreign aid, they would have no way to die.
Facts have proved that when people reach the extreme of embarrassment, they will all have IQ and EQ.
Chongyuan endured the pain, bit his index finger and wrote a bloody letter to Zhao Zhen.
This time he seemed extremely obedient and promised to return the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Song Dynasty, pay annual monies every year, respect Zhao Zhen as his father, and he was willing to be the son emperor.
As long as the Song Dynasty was willing to send troops, he was willing to hand over the tariffs to the Song Dynasty, allowing the merchants of the Song Dynasty to start mining, buy land, set up factories, and hire workers in the Liao Dynasty...
In short, everything that can be given up and what cannot be given up is given up.
Thousands of words, Dad Song, come and help your life!
...
After seeing Yelu Chongyuan's bloody letter, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty only wanted to laugh three times!
If you don’t believe it, look up and see who will the heaven spare!
This is retribution!
The Central Plains produced the scum Shi Jingtang, and the Liao Kingdom also produced Yelu Chongyuan, which was finally even!
Now there is only one question left, whether to raise troops to rescue according to Chongyuan’s requirements.
Zhao Zhen gathered the important officials around him and discussed together.
The first person to speak was Fu Bi, "I called on Your Majesty. Nearly 100,000 people in Chongqing collapsed in an instant, and all the people joined forces turned against each other. This shows that Yelu Hongjigen is stable and the people's hearts are in favor. At this time, it is tantamount to fighting with the Liao Kingdom head-on. Not only is the victory or defeat unpredictable, but it will inevitably consume a lot. The old ministers thought that the Song Dynasty could not afford it, so it would be better to give up!!!"
Ouyang Xiu immediately refuted, "My grandson, do you say that Yelu Hongji people's hearts are in favor? I don't think so. It is obvious that Chongyuan is self-righteous and is in chaos, so he can give the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it. In any case, when the Liao Kingdom is in chaos, they invite the Song Dynasty to march. If Tianyu doesn't take it, my Song Dynasty is too cowardly!"
Tang Jie shook his head, "Drunk Man, being cowardly is a trivial matter. What if the war starts directly and the war is in trouble, what should I do?"
Di Qing thought for a long time and said, "Your Majesty, this battle is indeed dangerous, but I think I should give it a try, otherwise I will miss the opportunity and I don't know when it will be next time."
The four husbands tied in two to two.
At this time, Zhao Zhen was also in a particularly difficult situation. He did not send troops, was unwilling to give up, and was worried that the situation would be unfavorable. He was really in a dilemma and he was not a decision.
He looked at Wang Ning'an habitually, "Wang Qing, what do you think?"
Wang Ning'an blinked his eyes and suddenly smiled: "Your Majesty, since it is not appropriate to send troops, it is not appropriate not to send troops. I think it is better to come and not to go out!"
Zhao Zhen said impatiently: "Don't talk about tongue twisters, just click it."
"Yes, I think the Song Dynasty is indeed not suitable to intervene in the Liao civil turmoil. However, there are many merchants from the Song Dynasty and the Han people in Youzhou. Our Song Dynasty cannot sit idly by and watch them be affected by the war. Therefore, we send troops to protect the merchants and the people and never get involved in the struggle between the Liao Kingdom. What does your Majesty think?"
Not so!
Everyone understands Wang Ning'an's routines. This is a high-sounding excuse. Whether there are dates or not, you can hit three poles first.
If you have the opportunity, you will fight against Liao Kingdom. If you don’t have the opportunity, you can take advantage of the situation. In short, you won’t suffer any losses!
After Zhao Zhen pondered, he immediately said, "Since that's the case, Di Aiqing, you can command the army north, and Wang Qing as your deputy!"
"Abide by the order!"
Di Qing couldn't hide his joy. He had fought countless battles in his half-life, but this time was what he most hoped for.
The soldiers are sent to Yanyun!
The dreams of countless Song people will be realized in his hands.
Although the court was still hesitant, Di Qing swore in his heart that if there was a little hope, he would do ten times his efforts and never give up easily. He would definitely bring Yan Yun back!
Di Qing was proud and proud.
After preparation, there are currently 3,000 heavy cavalry, 20,000 light cavalry and nearly 70,000 infantrymen on Hebei East Road. It can be said that it has basically reached the peak of the Hebei Legion.
"This is the first place we must control!"
Di Qing landed his finger at the end of the Great Wall, a small town between sea and land. The town at this time was called Yushu Town. In later generations, there was a more resounding name here, called Shanhaiguan!
"The Liao soldiers come from the east and from the north. Yushu Town is the essential throat of the Liao soldiers on the east route. As long as you defend it, the Liao soldiers on the east route cannot echo Yelu Hongji, and the Liao soldiers on the north route are also worried that the rear will be cut off and it will be difficult to go south with all their might. Therefore, the battle in Yushu Town is related to the overall situation and must be a good start!"
Di Qing said so much importance, Wang Liangjing smiled and patted his chest, "Ship Di, is this asking me to lead the troops?"
"Yes, only your heavy rider can afford this responsibility!"
"Okay, I'll set off right away!"
Without ambiguity, Wang Liangjing led three thousand heavy cavalry, plus five thousand light cavalry, and rode 150 sea boats, including the Shenzhou that had just started the water.
A giant ship, with 2,000 war horses alone, took a huge fleet and set off from Pingxian Wharf and headed straight to Yushu Town.
Just as the father sent troops, Wang Ning'an and Di Qing also led 40,000 troops to head towards Youzhou at the fastest speed.
The Yellow River has frozen, and the thick ice surface is enough to bear the weight of war horses and baggage. It can be easily passed without building a floating bridge.
When Wang Ning'an and Di Qing appeared on the south bank, it was still dark, but there were countless torches around, one after another, like a fire dragon or countless fireflies.
Under the fire, there were ordinary faces, including old people, children, and women... They looked up at the neat soldiers, and tears flowed out of their eyes unconsciously.
There were their sons, husbands, and fathers inside. At this moment, they were going to fight for Yan Yun!
Seven years ago, a Yellow River broke its mouth, changing the fate of everyone, and a miracle city was born. From then on, it became the most dazzling place in the Song Dynasty.
The resources are abundant, the humanities are prosperous, and various knowledge is spread. For the first time, ordinary people know that the land in the north of the Yellow River is called the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun. It was once the land of the Han family, and was betrayed by unfilial descendants to the Khitan. From then on, the mountains and rivers were broken, the hands and feet were broken, and more than a hundred years of separation and flesh and blood were destroyed. It was an eternal shame for the Han family!
Restore Yanyun!
On the first day of joining the army, the four words the instructors told them were already firmly engraved on their hearts.
Now, I am finally going to set foot on Yanyun’s land!
Nothing else, it's ready!
Blood sprinkled with the swallow clouds, and I will never return!
The first soldier knelt down, followed by countless people. They worshiped the guests and said goodbye to their relatives!
Perhaps this kowtow is the last time in this life, but a man’s heart is as hard as a stone and he will never regret it if he dies!
The soldiers knelt down, and the relatives also knelt down slowly.
Let's go! Go!
If the head can be broken and the arms can be broken, it means that the backbone of the Han family cannot be lost!
Children, you have seen that this is the way for the fathers to go to war. One day, you will also take the same path to expand territory for the Han family and eliminate barbarians.
"Luan Yanyun! I will never regret it if I die!"
"Luan Yanyun! I will never regret it if I die!"
...
The shouts came one after another, and continued.
Zhao Zhen was wearing a swallow suit and immediately stood high. Looking at the people heading north, tears rolling in his eyes. As expected, they were all good men! They were the real heroes of the Song Dynasty!
Chapter completed!
