The Struggle of the Reborn Prince

Ten days after the recovery of Yanjing, Zhao Yong led the wolf general, tiger general and leopard general to leave Yanjing and head for Beigukou. According to the plan, they would go along the post roads between the two places, pass through the Xinguan, the Wata Tathagata Pavilion, and the Liuhe Pavilion to build it.

Tribal Pavilion, Niushan Pavilion, Huixian Pavilion, Luerxia Pavilion, Tieji Pavilion, Fugu Pavilion, Datong Pavilion and Dading Prefecture City. This is a road that has been traveling between Liao and Song dynasties for a hundred years. On the way, it is inevitable to fight fiercely.

.

At this time, Zhao Meng, the Western Army, led the Longyi Army to hike in the daytime and night, and intersected with Dading Prefecture. Yelu Yuxi led the Lion Wing Army and the Datong Army to follow him. The two armies were a hundred miles apart. The Zhongjing Road area was after the demise of the Liao Kingdom.

A large number of people were captured by the Jurchens and entered the Liaodong area. The remaining population was concentrated around the prefecture capital. Now that winter is in the cold, nomadic tribes have also entered the winter pasture to avoid the cold, and it is difficult to find people in a hundred miles in a vast area. This is Zhao's shame

The surprise attack troops provided cover, but they still did not dare to be careless. They hid all the way day and night, bypassed the fortified state capital, and made a difficult journey on the wasteland against the wind and snow.

One is right and one is strange, one is quick and one is slow. The western route is moving straight into the enemy's hinterland with the black tiger's heart, disrupting the enemy's deployment and cutting off the enemy's route to escape to Linhuang Mansion. The southern route army attracted the Jin army

Note that the conditions were created for the Western Route Army to attack, and at the same time, the Dadingfu Road was divided into two halves to complete the strategic detour...

Zhao Qi, who was in charge of Yanjing City, was depressed. He wanted to follow the army to conquer Dading Prefecture in person, but was dissuaded by Zong Ze and the generals. Li Gang and the court officials also submitted a letter to ask the emperor to return to Beijing. Now it is about to end of the year, and all countries

The envoys and ministers from all over the country were going to Beijing to worship, and he had to go back and preside over some rituals such as ancestor worship and heaven and earth. More importantly, Wu Shu was still missing, and the remnants of the Jin army were still wandering everywhere. They all threatened the emperor.

Safety.

The emperor left Beijing for more than half a year and fought for the country, but he didn't even go back to take a look at the queen and the imperial concubine. He failed to celebrate the birthday of the Supreme Emperor, but he could not compare with the three emperors and five emperors, Dayu, who had three emperors and five emperors, who had been living in the family three times. The Song Dynasty finally came out

Of course, such a wise king who is both literary and martial, can't make any mistakes anymore. Zhao Qi had no choice but to give up his plan to personally fight, but he was delayed in returning to Beijing. Everyone knows that the emperor was worried about Dading Mansion.

The battle situation, but I don’t know the reason why he is really worried. This battle is likely to face not only the Jurchens, but also another empire that has just risen...

While Zhao Jie was planning a northern expedition, Yelu Dashi, who was far away in the Western Regions, led a large army into Balasha Yancheng and declared it the new capital of the Western Liao Dynasty. He also renamed it Husultou, meaning a strong city.

At the same time, the reign of Kangguo was changed. Here, the mountains on the left and the rivers on the right are vast, with abundant land and abundant resources. On the vast land, free horses can be grazed and harvested grain can be cultivated, making it a base for the revival of the Khitan.

Although it is far away from the old place, Yelu Dashi is always paying attention to the situation in the Central Plains, thinking about the eastward expedition and restoration of the country, and the situation of the Song and Jin countries is transmitted to Dashi one by one through Keduncheng and the caravans of various ethnic groups traveling westward.

One day shortly after he entered Hu Sihan's ear, a caravan suddenly brought news that the Song and Jin dynasties were negotiating in Yanjing, and the Song Dynasty stationed 100,000 troops in the border area, and it seemed that if the negotiations were not completed, they would take action.

After Yelu Dashi heard this, he thought that even if the information might not be accurate, there would be some delay. However, through meticulous induction and analysis and judgment, he determined that a war would not be avoided. The dream of the Eastern Expedition rose again in his heart.

.I want to take advantage of the great opportunity of the confrontation between the Song and Jin sides in Yanjing to send troops to regain their hometown. Dashi is determined to advance eastward to restore the country, on the one hand, because the situation in the Central Plains has an opportunity, and on the other hand, because of the Khitan soldiers who followed him to the westward expedition thousands of miles away and

The Han soldiers were almost unable to survive.

The Khitan soldiers who followed Yelu Dashi's western expedition crossed the desert, crossed the mountains, walked through many uninhabited places, and were attacked by local nomads many times. They finally found a good place suitable for grazing and farming. The people in that place

But they were not well-educated and had different customs. They were always looking forward to returning to their hometown. In the past, they didn't go back because they didn't have the chance. They were worried that they would be enslaved by the Jurchens when they went back. It was better to die in a foreign land than to die in a foreign land. But now they are already strong and have enough to fight

Now, why can't you go home?

Hearing that he was going back to his hometown, the Khitan soldiers and generals were all excited and cheering. They fed the war horses under their crotch, sharpened the swords in their hands, and prepared to fight with the Jurchens to regain the resting place for their ancestors' souls until they died to serve the country.

The bloody sea of ​​destruction of the family was deeply hatred. Dashi advanced eastward at this time and chose a good time, but in the end, the two places were thousands of miles apart. When the Khitan soldiers returned to the Central Plains, no one would have expected the situation to change in advance.

If a person succeeds in heaven, the next step depends on what God will!

Although he decided to revive the country in the east, the cautious Yelu Dashi still kept a backup plan. The Eastern Karakhanate had just been conquered and was not stable enough. At this time, as the emperor, if he personally led his troops back to the Central Plains, he would be defeated if he was defeated.

The consequences would be unimaginable. In order to leave a way out for himself and those Khitan compatriots who followed him for thousands of miles of expedition, he decided not to fight in person, but only appointed capable generals to lead the main force to return east.

The commander of the Eastern Expedition Army selected by Dashi was Xiao Orila, the Sixth Academy Department. The Sixth Academy Department is a northern official and is responsible for the affairs of nomadic peoples. Compared with the Han system, it is roughly equivalent to the Ministry of Revenue, but it has greater power and is considered the Prime Minister.

The deputy commander of the rank of the enemy, Xiao Chala Abu, formerly the Tongzhi of the Privy Council, was appointed as the capital of Tulu Yelu Yanshan, and guard Yelu Tiege as the capital.

The Privy Council is equivalent to the deputy minister of the Ministry of National Defense, while "Tulu" means the head man, and the guard is the officer of the imperial guard. This lineup can be said to be super luxurious.

Not only did the generals send luxurious troops, but the number of troops sent was also amazing. They even prepared 70,000 cavalry, the Khitan cavalry, Han cavalry who followed Dashi's western expedition, and the 16,000 tents of Khitans and Turks who moved to the Western Regions earlier.

Including it, it is simply a powerful army of the emerging Western Liao regime.

When slaughtering the green cows, white horses, and setting up flags and sworn in, Dashi once again gave a speech to his brave soldiers. He said: "Since my Great Khitan and Taizu founded their business in a difficult situation, many of the subsequent monarchs have been interested in the pleasures.

Ignoring national affairs has led to thieves rising and the world collapsed. I am forced to lead you to expedition to the desert, hoping to restore your hometown and revive the Khitan. Although this place is rich and fertile, it is not the place where you, my king and my ministers live for generations. We always have to go back

I'm here to my hometown!" These words shouted out Dashi's own ideals and the voices of the soldiers and generals, which immediately attracted cheers like a tide.

Then Dashi advises Marshal Xiao Orila, saying: "When you go there, you must clearly define rewards and punishments, share the joys and sorrows with the soldiers, choose a place with lush water and plants to camp, investigate the enemy's situation and then attack, and don't defeat yourself."

Dashi was full of great concern about the Eastern Expedition, and he was not relieved to hand over such a large army to Xiao Orila.

Amid the sound of the trumpet of progress, Yelu Dashi watched his 70,000 soldiers slowly embark on a new journey, and the horse's hooves were like thunder, and the army's steps forward raised dust every step. Yelu Dashi firmly believed that his army would

Storm swept the East like a storm, reappearing the glorious expedition of our ancestors to regain their hometown…

When the battle to attack Yanjing was the most intense, Zhao Qiong also received information from the caravan. At this time, the Western Liao army had been setting off for more than a month. He immediately ordered the Intelligence Department and Sheng Hetang to walk the Western Regions caravans.

Find out the movements and attack targets of the Western Liao army. The powerful intelligence system once again showed its power. As news from various channels continued to spread, Zhao Xiao made a judgment based on their march route. The goal of the Western Liao army was

The Qijinshan area in the hinterland of the Jin Kingdom is also the Dading Prefecture.

For the Western Liao Dynasty, Song was also an invader at this time. Datong and Yanjing were their homeland. Especially the White Tatars scattered in the south of the desert temporarily surrendered under the suppression of the Song army, they had been intimate with Liao for generations.

, even sponsored Yelu Dashi's expedition. Once the two forces merged, the borders of the Song Dynasty would rekindle the war and never have peace. The Western Liao Dynasty wanted to join forces with the Western Xia to attack Jin a few years ago, but because Zhao Jie was invading it.

The two countries gave up.

But for Xixia, who has milk, is a mother. If Xixia has always been at the end of both snakes and rats, if Xixia has stood firm here, he would never miss the opportunity. He would be ready to take advantage of the situation and restore his previous sphere of influence with the Song Dynasty as the enemy.

The Mongolia, which later destroyed the Jin, Song, Xixia, swept the world, and dominated Eurasia, was likely to break the containment strategy implemented by Zhao Zhen on them and took the opportunity to rise. At that time, the world was in chaos and the First World War broke out early.

From this we can see that the importance of the current Dading Prefecture to the Song, Jin and Western Liao is self-evident. If Western Liao prevails, there will be no benefit for the Song Dynasty. It will not only lose the base of advance, but also form future expansion.

The obstacles are more of a potential enemy, and will definitely completely change the current situation and strength of the Song and Jin confrontation, and must not face the dilemma of being attacked from three sides again.

Now we have to solve this problem by changing the established plan, occupying Dading Prefecture first, strangling Yelu Dashi's ambition to restore the old border, let him retreat in his mind, and continue to be the king of the Western Regions, and wait for the Jurchen, his old enemy, to deal with him, after he was defeated.

, freed up his hands to deal with him, so Zhao Qiong took the initiative to seize the land of strategic advancement in the name of empty Zhongjing and seizing the land of strategic advancement. However, he secretly wanted to prevent the potential invasion of Xi Liao, drove them out, and cut off the restoration of the country.

Thoughts.

Being prepared for two battles, Zhao Qi quickly realized that he might be a little nervous, but he had to be careful of sailing a thousand-year-old ship... (To be continued, please search for Astronomy, novels are better
