The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

The land of Youyan has been an economically developed farming area since ancient times, and the tax-taxed land of merchants and merchants was regarded as a "state of parents". The ethnic minority regimes such as Liao and Jin who entered the Central Plains once they took this fertile land for themselves. , and they were also stalked! Later generations commented on the Five Great Liao Capitals, some people said that Shangjing had the highest status and Zhongjing occupied the largest area... Speaking of Nanjing, the Great Liao capital, its most prominent feature is its "richness".

Later, Jin, Yuan, Qing and others all regarded this place as their capital. The grandson of King Hailing and Aguda of the Jin Dynasty, Wanyan Liang, even moved the royal family ancestral tombs located in Heilongjiang here. The strength was so great that it was shocking, but now Zhao Qi has arrived. Under Yanjing City, Kublai Khan and Huang Taiji were beyond his reach. I guess Wanyan Liang had little chance.

After receiving the information sent by Yuwen Xuzhong, Zhao Qi urgently ordered Zhao Meng to give up his combat plan to lure the enemy into depth, open up Wu Shu's path to return to the army, and intercept the rear team that invaded the Datong Jin army. At the same time, he informed the Military Information Department. Don't intercept the messengers sent by Yanjing, so that they can successfully send out the news of Yanjing being surrounded, and order Zhao Yong and Zhao Lian to rest and advance to the periphery of Yanjing to prepare for the siege. Tell the right wing Zhang's troops to Continue to open eastward to open the traffic line with Pingzhou; Yue Fei's troops will expand to northwest to control important areas along the Sanggan River and protect the left wing of the siege troops.

After Zhao Qi issued the order, he also left Pingzhou and headed for Yanjing. It had been nearly a month since they landed in Yingzhou and entered November, but the situation had changed drastically. The greater the force applied, the greater the explosion. The reaction force was captured by the Jurchens and led to the Central Plains in Youyan area and left their hometowns and became slaves, and suffered years of oppression and exploitation. Now the emperor came with a large army to support them, and turned from slaves to masters. This is really a revenge and complaint.

The revenge broke out from Pingzhou and followed the Song army's attack, and the Jurchens, Bohai people, Xi people, and even the Youyan Han people who were on their heads became their targets of revenge. Killing became the most Jiahe's most convenient method, tens of thousands of people were killed in just over a month, causing casualties as much as a small-scale war. Everyone is afraid of death. The so-called "high-class nation" that showed off his power in the past was also killed bloodily I was also frightened and slaughtered. The rear was also stable.

In the end, the matter was a little out of control. Zhao Qi had to issue an imperial edict to stop it. At the same time, he received and appeased the people, affirmed their righteous deeds, and selected some people who had been officials, or had fame and reputation, and had a reputation to entrust them. Official position. Assist the army in governing the local area, managing the people, and forming a brave and brave protection place. Then open warehouses and release grain and allocate land. This will soothe people's hearts and allow these people to take root in Yanjing, change the local ethnic structure, and protect the Long-term stability. After a series of measures, the newly occupied land was quickly stabilized and won the hearts of the people. They spontaneously transported materials to the army, provided the needs and guided the way to collect intelligence.

Zhao Jie traveled day and night, and arrived at Yanfangdian, southwest of Yanjing City in three days. Since Yanjing City was one of the five capitals of the Liao Dynasty in the past, in addition to palaces, there must be royal gardens, palaces, etc. Besides, the Khitans were nostalgic nomads. The way the Liao emperor ruled his land was to inspect various places in spring, summer, autumn and winter. Of course, he could not be satisfied with the deep palaces and towers in Liaoning and Nanjing, but required the summer resort, gardens and palaces to escape the summer, hunt. Yanfangdian has a vast water surface, with reeds growing in a few hundred miles in size. It is not only a place for the Liao emperors to hunt, but also a palace is built.

At this time, Zong Ze had arrived two days ago, and there was also a group of officials and staff members who came with him, and a front-line command center was established here. In order to ensure the safety of the emperor, Zhao Zhong led the guards of the two brigades at the beginning of the war.

The army set out and escorted Zong Ze all the way here, but it was too close to Yanjing City. If the Jin army found that it only took an hour to send a surprise soldier, so the guard posts were released twenty miles away and blocked the

All the paths around the palace.

Everyone welcomed the emperor into Shenqian Palace. Because the Jurchens, who were also nomadic people, had the same hobbies as the Khitans, Zongfu and Wushu often came here to hunt in summer and autumn, and the palace was well maintained. I learned that the Song army was

Arrived, the Jin soldiers guarding the palace ran away in a swarm, but they did not take anything away, leaving it to the Song army intact. They thought that the Southern Dynasty could not conquer Yanjing City, and they would have to come back sooner or later. It would be a pity to burn it.

.

Zhao Qi was not polite. Now it was no longer the time to be a prince. Yue Zhi had to consider wherever he wanted to live now! In addition, he also organized the guard team formed by Zhao Lian for him without hesitation.

The Guards became the Fourth Brigade, but I don’t know if those kind-hearted commanders will feel distressed if they know it. These soldiers and generals are the elites of their respective divisions...

Zong Ze and others met with the emperor again. Zhao Qi was not in the mood at this moment, but instead summoned the generals to discuss the plan to siege the city. Now the enemy situation has changed. The original plan was that Zhao Yong's troops were responsible for the periphery of annihilation of Wu Shu.

Reinforcements, Zhao Lian's troops attacked Yanjing City, could calmly annihilate the enemy, but Wu Shu's unexpected departure made the plan fail. Now neither unit has completed the mission.

After Zhao Lian's troops landed, they only fought a small-scale offensive and defensive battle in Pingzhou. The rest was marching. Almost wherever they went, the Jin army fled, and there was no more battle. They successfully occupied several states.

However, the mission of annihilation of the main force of the Jin army was not able to fight with Wu Shu, but he beat Wanyan Zongfu up and wiped out some of his troops, but the main force of the Jin army still exists

.

Zhao Qi knew that if Wu Shu troops could not be severely damaged, he would not be able to get peace even if he recovered the Youyan area. He still needed to prepare for war every year. He worked hard to expedition and was involved in endless offensive and defensive wars. Now that the fighter planes are emerging again, of course he would not

Let it go, but there is not much time left for him. Wu Shu has learned that Pingzhou has fallen and Yanjing is surrounded. He returns to help at night and only ten days can he arrive at the city of Yanjing. Now it has passed

After four days, it was necessary to quickly capture Yanjing City within a limited time, complete rest and turn around to face Wushu's return-to-support army.

"I won't say nonsense. The enemy situation has changed, and our plan must also change. Yanjing City must be captured within three days. Any different opinions should be raised as soon as possible!" Zhao Qiong's opening remark was simple and clear, and he said in an unquestionable tone.

"Your Majesty, there are many strong soldiers in Yanjing City. If you want to capture the city within three days, isn't it too hasty?" Zong Ze knew that the current new army was incomparable to the past imperial guards, but the city defense of Yanjing City was not as strong as that of Bian!"

How much difference is in the capital? On that day, the Jin army was at the city twice, and it attacked the city with dozens of tigers and wolves. It was not possible to achieve success for more than a month. There are still tens of thousands of main forces of the Jin army in Yanjing. It would be a bit difficult for him to defeat the city in such a short time.

vague.

"What Lord Zong said is reasonable, but the enemy situation is urgent. I am planning to use two units to attack the city with all their might. Only in this way can we concentrate our troops to eliminate the reinforcements of Wushu's troops!" Zhao Qi said. In fact, Zhao Yong, Zhao Lian and others could understand what he had just said.

The emperor had already issued a death order and had to conquer Yanjing City within three days, but Zong Ze really thought he was asking for advice, and he had to explain a few words to the old minister!

"Your Majesty, isn't this more dangerous? If you fail to attack the city, you will repeat the mistakes of Emperor Taizong!" Zong Ze said in shock after hearing this.

Zhao Zhen frowned. Obviously Zong Ze was still suspicious, but what he said was not unreasonable. Just two hundred years ago, a big battle broke out in Song and Liao at the same place. The Song army attacked for nine days and could not defeat the city.

The Liao army used its cavalry advantages to reinforce from afar, and changed passive to active, which gave the Song army a heavy blow, while the Song army underestimated the enemy and advanced rashly and failed in the first battle.

But the significance of this war is not only that. It is an important war after the end of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms period. It is also the first direct dialogue between the Liao Dynasty and the Song Dynasty on the battlefield. This war ended the pace of Song Dynasty's unification, and the

Later, the battle with Liao had an adverse impact and began to be at a disadvantage in terms of military force. Zong Ze was worried that history would repeat itself, and after failing to attack Yan, the great cause of Zhongxing was abandoned halfway.

"Mr. Zong, although the situation is similar to that in the past, it is different. Even if we cannot conquer Yanjing City, we can retreat calmly and find an opportunity to fight again!" Zhao Qi had to explain patiently...

From the perspective of combat guidance, the Song army moved to Youzhou, which was only an attack in one direction. It neither sent troops from the north of Youzhou to cooperate, restrained the Liao army, nor controlled a certain reserve force. It put its main force into the beginning.

Fighting, attempting to make a quick battle and decisive decision, success in one fell swoop, and in the event of setbacks, they are unable to save them; secondly, the defensive power of Youzhou City is insufficient. Youzhou is a strategic location of Liao, and Liao must defend the city with heavy troops. The Song army is long-range

Advances quickly and without preparations for attack, resulting in a strong army and a stunning city and a tired army. Finally, there is a lack of deployment of attacks and aid. Since Youzhou is a strategic location in Liao, it will definitely be reinforced by heavy troops when it is besieged. However, Zhao Guangyi was not able to make plans and did not

He made any arrangements to block the aid and only tried his best to attack the city, which led to the attack on the Liao reinforcements and the defeat of the entire army.

Look at the Liao army again. Although the Song army suffered some setbacks in the early stage of the raid, they could take some effective measures to stick to the waiting for assistance, winning time for mobilizing reinforcements. After the reinforcements arrived, they successfully used the tactics of encircling the two wings and used them.

The strengths of the cavalry took advantage of Yelu Sha's delaying the Song army and weakening the Song army to a certain extent, and suddenly entered the battle. Finally, he turned around the situation and achieved victory in understanding the encirclement of Youzhou and greatly defeating the Song army.

Although the current situation is the same, the Song army has now captured Pingzhou and Yuguan, and controlled the northern part of Youyan, so that the Jin army could not go south to rescue quickly. Once again, Zongfu's troops were newly defeated and morale was low, even though the recruits lacked training and discipline;

Furthermore, although Zhao's army could not be severely injured with Wushu's army, it would definitely restrain one of its troops and prevent him from clearing and rescuing. Even if the entire army of Wushu's army came to Yanjing City, Zhao Qi still had a move.
