Fu Song

Chapter 505 You Are Not

Without the sixteen prefectures of Youyan, the Song Dynasty would have lost its natural danger against the Liao Kingdom on the Hebei Road.

In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Taizu Taizong organized the Northern Expedition, but unfortunately, all of them ended in failure.

Since then, the Song State has also acquiesced in the fact that it can't do the Liao State, so it wholeheartedly manages the Hebei Road. If there are no natural dangers, it will build fortresses, build castles, dig paddy fields, plant trees, and gather heavy troops.

Through various means, to resist the aggression of Liao.

Over a hundred years of operation has actually been fruitful.

Especially when King Jing was in charge of Hebei Road, a complete defensive chain had been formed on Hebei Road, with a defense area of ​​hundreds of miles in depth, which caused the Liao army to run into walls repeatedly on Hebei Road, losing troops and generals.

During that period, the Song Army and the Liao Army formed a stalemate.

The Liao army came to Hebei Road to fight grass valleys, and the Song army often ran to Nanjing Road to burn, kill and loot, basically forming a balance of power.

It was also during this period that a force that wanted the Northern Expedition formed within the State of Song.

Because above the military, these people found that they had been able to resist the attack of the Liao people, and above the economy, the Song State had a crushing advantage over the Liao State.

With such a great situation, of course we want the Northern Expedition.

Not to mention complete success, we only need to recapture the sixteen prefectures of Youyan. After that, in the military confrontation between Song and Liao, Song will occupy an overwhelming advantage. It's not impossible to think about it.

But what follows is who will lead this matter.

In the view of the main combat faction, Jing Wang Zhiran is the best candidate.

But the king of Chu didn't think so.

Officials don't think so either.

This started an infighting.

At that time, I am afraid that no one thought that this internal strife was the beginning of the decline of the mighty Song Dynasty.

Jing Wang Zhao Zhe spent more than ten years building the Hebei Frontier Army, except for the Guangrui Army, the rest disappeared in just a few years.

The only exception, the Guangrui Army, has now become the Western Army, the confidant of the Song Dynasty, occupying the north of Hengshan.

King Jing failed in his rebellion and set himself on fire before the imperial city.

Years of farce not only made the Northern Expedition come to naught, but also lost the defense zone on the border of Hebei.

After Ma Xing took charge of Hebei, he brought order out of chaos, recruited a large number of scattered former frontier soldiers, and rebuilt the Hebei Forbidden Army. Finally, he achieved success. When the Hebei Frontier Army saw the hope of revival, the Liao people made another move.

A piece of covenant made Zhao Song's official family full of thorns in their hearts.

A hundred miles of land will be returned free of charge.

Looking at it at the time, it was probably because the Western Army harassed the Liao Army so much that the Liao Army was willing to give up this land and had to clear the Western Army first.

As everyone knows, returning the territory to the Song Dynasty was just a trick of the Liao army to disperse the Hebei frontier army.

A large number of rebuilt Hebei frontier troops had to be redeployed, and they were dismantled in a short time.

The line of defense that Ma Xing had managed was dismantled by his own people in an instant.

The old line of defense has been destroyed, and the new line of defense has not been completed.

At this juncture, the Liao people came to kill them.

This way of fighting, not to mention the Hebei frontier army whose vitality has not yet recovered, even the elite group under King Jing's command, still cannot sustain it.

The dignitaries of the Song Dynasty could never understand that the people of the Liao Kingdom could exchange a territory hundreds of miles deep for such an opportunity to attack.

Of course, they also had no way of knowing how the Empress Xiao Chuo of the Liao Kingdom persuaded the Emperor Yelujun of the Liao Kingdom. This plan was also opposed by the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom in Zhongjing at the time.

In the eyes of the dignitaries of the Liao Kingdom, how could they spit out such a large piece of fat in their mouths?

But when the emperor and queen unified their opinions, any opposition had to die down.

Afterwards, all developments were moving forward smoothly according to Xiao Chuo's planning and prediction.

Except that Xiao Siwen was beaten to the point of losing his armor by Xiao Ding in Xuanlei Village.

Yelumin rode slowly on the horse. He participated in Xiao Chuo's plan from the beginning to the end.

Xiao Chuo came up with a strategic idea, and he, Wanyan Yujian, Lu Ben'an and others completed the remaining tactical matters.

Xiao Chuo didn't understand specific tactics.

Over the past few years, Xiao Chuo has amazed Yelumin and others. Even Lu Ben'an, who used to have his eyes high above the top, has now become a fanatical admirer of the queen.

The Han families in the Liao Kingdom have now become the queen's pocket.

As the queen's absolute confidant, Yelumin even knew that some guys who did not take refuge in the queen on the surface, and even had trouble with the queen, had long bowed to the queen in secret, and everything they did on the surface, It's just the queen's arrangement.

Even those Khitan dignitaries in the North Courtyard, many of them turned to the queen and became the queen's loyal lackeys.

They are also preparing for the back road.

Because of Emperor Yelujun's health, his condition became worse and worse.

Some small problems that seemed to be nothing at first have suddenly become serious in recent years.

The emperor is seriously ill, the empress is strong, the prince is still young,

Everyone knows that they have to choose a back road for themselves.

Yelumin listened intently to the roar of the Juma River, but what sounded in his heart was what the queen said to him,
Belonging to the Shan army is the foundation for her to settle down.

Other forces, even people like Lu Ben'an, will not support her completely and unreservedly if there is any change in form.

"I will!" Yelumin took a deep breath. "The [-] Shan army will fight for the queen."

Xiao Siwen's failure in Xuanlei Village was somewhat beyond the queen's expectation. At first, she thought that Xiao Siwen could at least contain Xiao Ding.

Xiao Siwen's failure has both advantages and disadvantages.

The good thing is that Xiao Siwen used to like to put on airs in front of the queen, but this defeat will cause his value to plummet. From then on, he has no choice but to be attached to the queen.

The bad thing is that Xiao Siwen lost too quickly, which would allow Xiao Ding to defeat Song Jun extremely quickly.And based on Xiao Chuo's understanding of his own brother, maybe he will intervene in the battle between Song and Liao.

Will Xiao Ding intervene?

Maybe.

But now he needs to clean up the Song army who have passed Hengshan first.

After he finished all this, if he wanted to intervene in the battle between Song and Liao, he had to pass Zhang Cheng first.

Zhang Cheng, who has a feud with Xiao Ding for killing his father, will cooperate with Xiao Ding?
It seems unlikely.

Then Xiao Ding has only one way, go north again, attacking Xijing Road and Shangjing Road.

But the time it takes to go back and forth may be enough to attack Bianliang by himself.

Bianliang!

Yelumin sneered.

How did I escape from Bianliang like a dog at the beginning, and now I have to go back in an even brighter form.

My father and those uncles,
Those brothers who died in Bianliang,
In order to cover their own escape, those friends fell one after another under the swords and guns of the pursuers.

They are all looking at themselves!
With the sound of horseshoes, a group of cavalry galloped ahead.

"The last general of the Tiger Wing Army, Lu He, has met the commander!" Lu He got off his horse and trotted up to Yelumin's horse.

"Haven't you taken it off yet?" Yelu Min asked with a half-smile, looking at Lu He.

Lu He shivered. He was not familiar with Yelumin, but his cousin Lu Benan was very familiar with him. This one in front of him is really not a good person.In Lu Ben'an's words, this guy was deeply stimulated when he was in Song Dynasty, and now he is a bit abnormal.

Be cruel to others and be cruel to yourself.

He belonged to the kind of character that even Galubenan would not want to provoke.

Not to mention Lu He.

Even though Lu He was the general in command of the Tiger Wing Army, he was really a figure who couldn't stand on the table in front of Yelumin.

"The opponent is well-trained, with strong fighting will and resilience. But now there are less than half of them left, and they only need a little more time to wipe them all out!" Lu He swallowed.

"How many people have you died?" Yelumin said coldly.

"Nearly a thousand casualties." Lu He lowered his head.

"Hehe!" Yelumin laughed twice: "I will attack Tianmen Village, kill Anming, wipe out more than [-] defenders, [-] people were killed, and [-] were injured!"

"The last general dares to compare with the commander in chief!" Lu He's voice became softer.

"Lead the way ahead, I'll go and see who the heroes are!" Yelumin said: "Just five hundred people actually blocked my tens of thousands of troops on the north bank!"

Lu He's preparations were not sufficient.

There were only a few rafts and boats crossing the river, and they thought they could pass through the pontoon bridge, but they knew that a Song army fell from the sky out of thin air, and it was a very powerful Song army, blocking them on the south bank like this.

The Liao army who came over on rafts and small boats could only use refueling tactics, and the casualties were gradually increasing, but the gap was not opened.

In the end, it became a life-for-life exchange.

Maybe another three or five hundred people will die, and this Song army will be completely wiped out.

Yelumin no longer cared how many people died in the Tiger Wing Army, but what he cared about was why the Song Army was so powerful!
If there is such an army in the future, then he needs to be more careful in his deduction of the battle situation.

Because he knew that the Tiger Wing Army was actually the Lu family's private army, and their combat effectiveness was not bad.

At the bridgehead, the Song army's defensive position shrank a lot, and around them, a circle of corpses appeared.

Most of them belonged to the Tiger Wing Army, and a small part belonged to the Song Army.

"Ren Zhong? I haven't heard of it!" Looking at the flying flag, Yelumin thought about it for a long time, but he didn't remember who this person was!
"Crush them!" Yelumin didn't intend to waste time.

The Tiger Wing Army didn't cross the river, and the Liao Army's three wings flying together lost one wing.

The main point of this battle is a fast word.

The large-scale interspersed, encircled, and cut did not give the Song army any time to gather troops, nor did they have a slight chance to retreat to those big cities with strong defenses.

It took so much effort to get them out, if they were allowed to shrink back, wouldn't it be a waste of all the previous preparations?

Therefore, even a day's delay will have an impact on the battle situation.

Otherwise, with his current status, how could he come to see what's going on in Zhouzhuang in person?
An unknown general,
Troops never heard of,
In the Song Dynasty, I actually encountered many such things.

Many of these talents end up buried.

The Shan army cavalry who came with Yelumin launched a charge.

When Ren Zhong saw the flag of the Shan army, he was in despair.

Because the Shan army came from the direction of Tianmenzhai.

Tianmenzhai fell.

Desperate with him, and those soldiers who were fighting desperately.

Once despair is on the rise, resistance becomes meaningless.

Being rushed by the cavalry, the whole team collapsed in an instant.

Ren Zhong, who was about to wipe his neck with a knife, was slapped to the ground by a cavalryman belonging to the Shan army, and then the two dismounted, holding Ren Zhong down firmly.

The commander-in-chief said that he wanted to capture this general of the Song army alive to see who it was.

Ren Zhong was dragged in front of Yelumin and knelt down on the ground.

He stubbornly held his head up, trying to see clearly the big man in the Liao army in front of him.

He stared at Yelumin, and an extremely familiar feeling came to his heart instantly.

He thought he must be dazzled,
He shook his head vigorously, widening his eyes even further.

Although five or six years have passed, and although Yelumin has grown a beard now, as a former subordinate of Yelumin, a soldier whom he admired very much, that face has long been seared into his mind .

"Little General Qin!" Ren Zhong said involuntarily, dumbfounded.

There was a bang in Yelumin's head,

Little General Qin!

How familiar, and what a distant title.

Only the brothers of Guangxin Army would call him that!
Yelumin got off his horse, walked up to Ren Zhong, and stared at him.

"Brother from the Guangxin Army? Which team is that battalion?"

Ren Zhong stared at the man in front of him, his eyes gradually filled with tears, "Is it really General Xiao Qin?"

Yelumin nodded.

"I am Qin Min!"

Ren Zhong's tears flowed out in a flash, and he howled loudly.

"Ren Zhong, Seventh Team, Second Battalion, Guangxin Army!"

He roared with all his might.

Qin Min's eyes were red, and he reached out to help him up.

Ren Zhong twisted his body desperately, which made him fall to the ground. He looked at Qin Min with a look of disbelief, but the man was twisting on the ground like a snake, as if he wanted to stay away from Qin Min.

"Ren Zhong, I am Qin Min!"

Qin Min took a step forward.

The Second Battalion of the Guangxin Army was the army commanded by Qin Min himself.

The first battalion is his father Qin Kuan's pro-army.

"No, you are not General Qin, you are not!" Ren Zhong yelled, and when Qin Min approached him, he avoided a snake like a scorpion: "Liaogou, you are Liaogou, kill me, kill me quickly! "

Yelumin froze there all of a sudden, stretched out his hand, and didn't retract it for a long time.

The sound of the surrounding soldiers' knives being unsheathed rang out.

Yelumin took a deep breath, turned around and walked towards his horse.

"Let him go, anyone, don't embarrass him!"

Get on the horse and let the horse go away.

Behind him, there was still Ren Zhong's endless yelling and cursing.
