Who among these Han family members would be willing to accept the foreseeable future?
The Han people in the Yanyun area were also unwilling to be under the jurisdiction of the Song State.The reason is very simple, because Song State imposed much higher taxes on the bottom-level people than Liao State.
And the taxation of the Jin State is even less than that of the Liao State.
The family has no money and can only be an ordinary person with enough food and clothing. Who would be willing to be ruled by a country with higher taxes?
Don't look at Taiwei Tongguan who distributed the bulletins at the border, advocating that Yandi can be exempted from taxes for two years after taking back Yandi, how many fools are there in Yandi?
First two years of tax exemption, and then like the Song people in the south, they are burdened with their own exorbitant taxes, and their wealth is robbed by the emperor to build gardens?It's true that Yan people are so stupid, they can't tell right from wrong!
Therefore, except for a few people with ulterior motives like Zhao Liangsi, no Han people in Yandi were willing to belong to the Song Dynasty.
This is why the Song Army distributed so many announcements on the border between the two countries, but no one responded.
For this reason, Wang Jieru and Wang Zhongsun also had no intention of parting with Ma Kuo.
Anyway, it is unknown whether the Song envoy will be able to leave Yanjing City alive after meeting the emperor tomorrow.
After Ma Kuo rested for a day in the posthouse where he entertained the envoys, he was accompanied by Wang Jieru and Wang Zhongsun to meet Yeluchun, Emperor Tianxi of Liao.
After Ma Kuo submitted Tong Guan's persuasion document to Yeluchun, he was questioned by the monarch and ministers of the Liao Kingdom.
Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi once again led Ma Kuo to visit the portraits of the emperors of the Liao Dynasty, and told how the Liao Kingdom kept its promises and never bullied the weak against the Song Dynasty for more than 100 years.Then, he accused Song Guo of treachery this time, which should be spit on by the whole world.
In this Northern Expedition, Song State was indeed the first to tear up the "Chanyuan Alliance", which was suspected of treachery.Although Ma Kuo was not bad at eloquence, he was only submissive in front of Yeluchun because of his grievances.
Fortunately, Ma Kuo had Ximenqing's reminder, and he never secretly recruited and surrendered the rebels after entering the Liao Kingdom, so he did not offend the Tianxi Emperor Yeluchun.
After Yeluchun made clear to Ma Kuo that he would never surrender to the Song Dynasty, he sent Ma Kuo to leave Yanjing City.
At the same time, Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi sent his secretary Lang Wang Jieru to accompany Ma Kuo to meet Song Hebei, Hedong Xuanfu Envoy, Taiwei Tong Guan, and persuade Tong Guan to stop the war and truce, so as not to ruin the century-old friendship between the two countries.
After Song envoy Ma Kuo and secretary Lang Wang Jieru left, Tianxi Emperor Yeluchun immediately summoned Xiao Qian, Yelu Dashi and other generals to discuss strategies to resist the Song army's northern invasion.
The Song army claimed to have an army of [-]. At this time, the Liao army was under the enemy's front and back, and faced the attacks of the Jin army and the Song army at the same time, and its strength seemed stretched.
For this reason, although Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi showed his determination to stick to Yanjing City to the Song envoy Ma Zhan, Yeluchun was still a little worried about the upcoming war.
Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, showed contempt for the Song Army.He told Yeluchun that the Song army's combat effectiveness was low, and often even the thieves in the territory could not be wiped out.Although the Naxi Army is known as the elite of the Song Army, it is mainly infantry, and it is difficult to adapt to the plain operations in the Yanjing area.
Xiao Qian believed that the Liao army should not retreat to the city and fight the Song army for a long time, but should take the initiative to attack and quickly defeat the Song army when the Jin army failed to go south in time.
The Liao Kingdom also found out that the Song and Jin countries had signed the "Sea Alliance". Yeluchun was worried that when the Liao army and the Song army faced each other, the Jin army would fight together and suddenly go south from Gubeikou and other places.
Xiao Qian told Yeluchun confidently that he had already left behind in the Zhongjing Road. In order to prevent the Jin Army from going south during the decisive battle with the Song Army, he had arranged for the Xi people in the Zhongjing Road to revolt in the near future to hold the Jin Army and cooperate with the Liao Army. The army defeated the Song army.
Tianxi Emperor Yeluchun heard this, and praised Xiao Qianshi as the dry city of the country.
Reassured, Yelu Chun followed Xiao Qian's suggestion and decided to send Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi to lead the troops to meet the Song Army's East and West Second Armies separately.
Emperor Yeluchun of Tianxi appointed Yelu Dashi as the capital of the Southwest Road, with Niulan Supervisor Xiao Yulu as his deputy, led Xi and Khitan cavalry [-] garrisons in Xincheng County south of Zhuozhou, and commanded the Changsheng Army Guo Yaoshi and other departments to monitor The movement of the Song Army's East Route Army.
Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, led another army and stationed in Yizhou to confront the West Route Army of the Song Army.
After Xiao Qian and Yelu Dashi led the troops out of the city, they marched together to Zhuozhou and divided into two routes in the south of Zhuozhou city.
Before leaving, Yelu Dashi said to Xiao Qian: "King Xiao has led the army for many years and has experienced hundreds of battles. May he give advice on how to defeat the enemy?"
Xiao Qian smiled at Yelu Dashi: "Lin Ya is both civil and military, why should he be too modest?
The Song army is mainly infantry, so how can I compete with the Daliao cavalry on this plain!
Presumably the opponent will adopt the tactics of step by step, deep ditch and closed base, to resist the impact of our cavalry.
In this battle, our army must take the lead, lead the Song army to fight, and defeat the Song army in one fell swoop on the plain. "
Yelu Dashi heard the words, and said to Xiao Qian: "King Xiao, I heard that the commander of the Song army is an experienced veteran general of the Western army who is a teacher. If he stays in the camp and confronts our army for a long time, I am afraid that I will The army is disadvantaged. Does King Xiao have any countermeasures?"
Xiao Qian took out a roll of paper from his bosom, stuffed it into Yelu Dashi's hands, and said with a smile to him: "It is true that cultivating a teacher's way is mature and prudent, but the Emperor of Song and the Tong Taiwei can't wait.
If I'm not mistaken, the kings and ministers of the Song Dynasty were afraid that the Jin army would go south, so they took the lead in occupying my Nanjing Road.
When the envoy of Song Dynasty Ma Kuo came, he also expressed his worry about us surrendering the gold. It can be seen that the Song and Jin countries have their own plans.
If not, how could the Song army have sent warriors into the territory of Liao to post and distribute these announcements?
This time breaking the enemy is on top of this list! "
Chapter 789 Let's Fight
Yelu Dashi saw the Song Army bulletin that Xiao Qian handed to him, his eyes lit up, and he smiled at Xiao Qian: "King Xiao really has a strategy to defeat the enemy in his chest, I admire it! You and my two armies are dealing with it like this... What does King Xiao think?" ?”
Xiao Qian smiled and said: "Okay! Lin Ya, you and I are of the same mind, the Song army will be defeated, and our army will surely win!"
"Our army will surely win!" Yelu Dashi also roared loudly.
The cavalry of the Liao Army behind Yelu Dashi shouted that they will win, and watched Xiao Qian's army gallop west to Yizhou.
At this time, Guo Yaoshi, who stayed behind in Zhuozhou and was in charge of the Changsheng Army, also led his troops out of Decheng to meet Yelu Dashi and see off Xiao Qianjun.
After Xiao Qian's army left Zhuozhou, Yelu Dashi sent troops to Zhuozhou to prepare for the war.After some arrangements, Yelu Dashi personally led two thousand fine riders to settle in Xincheng County to the south of Zhuozhou City.
The Song State sent troops to the Northern Expedition, and the information about the confrontation between the Song and Liao armies at the border naturally could not be concealed from the eyes and ears of the Jin army.
The main force of the Jin army entered the Xijing Road of the Liao Kingdom to pursue Emperor Yelu Yanxi of Tianzuo, and set up the Xilu Capital Commander in the newly occupied Dading Mansion of Zhongjing to target the Xi people of Zhongjing Road.
The first Dutong of the Xi Ludu Commander was Wanyan Hun, the general of the Jin Army’s clan who stayed in Zhongjing’s Dading Mansion, and the one who assisted him in staying in Zhongjing was the younger brother of Emperor Wanyan Aguda, Wanyan Yinshuke’s younger brother Wanyan. Mochi.
After Wanyan Hunchu detected the news that the Song army was approaching the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom, he immediately mobilized his troops and prepared to enter the Nanjing Road of the Liao Kingdom from Gubeikou, Songting Pass and other places.
Unexpectedly, at this time, the Xi people in the prefectures in the Zhongjingdao area began a large-scale rebellion again.
It turned out that when King Xi Xiaoqian retreated from the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing, he left behind his confidant general Xiao Wang's family slaves to lurk in the Gaozhou area, secretly contacted various ministries of the Xi clan, and gathered many anti-golden troops.
In other states, there are also many Xi tribes who are loyal followers of King Xi Xiaoqian.
In order to avoid being attacked by the enemy, Xiao Qian secretly ordered Xiao Wang's slaves and others to revolt in Zhongjing Road when he was preparing to send troops to meet the Song army, and recapture the cities of Zhongjing Road.
After receiving the secret order, Xiao Wang's family slaves immediately instigated a rebellion and besieged Gaozhou City with rebels.At the same time, Xi people in Wu'an Prefecture, Songshan Prefecture, Enzhou, Xingzhong Prefecture and other places who received the news rebelled one after another, and gathered tens of thousands of people to besiege the prefectures and counties.
Xilu Dutong, Dutong Wanyan Hunju was devastated by the chaos army swarming everywhere, and hastily dispatched the Jin army to counter the rebellion, and had no spare power to go south to attack the Nanjing Road of Liao Kingdom.
Xiao Qian, the king of the Fourth Army, used his own strategizing to hold back the Jin army, and won the opportunity for the Liao army in the Yanjing area to gather and annihilate the Song army.
When the Liao army was united and wanted to attack the treacherous Song army head-on, the Song army still imagined that they could use force to intimidate the Yan people and enter Yanjing City without bloodshed.
On May 25, in the barracks of Yang Keshi, the former commander of the army, who was stationed on the bank of Juma River, the boundary river between Xiongzhou and Zhuozhou, Liao, a Han Chinese from Zhuozhou, Liao, came to vote with the bulletin posted by the Song army.These people told Yang Keshi that the Han people in Yandi had been preparing for the arrival of Wang Shi, but the Liao army blocked the way and did not dare to lead the crowd to vote.If the king's division enters to expel the Liao army on the border of Song and Liao, the Han people in Zhuozhou will eat pots of pulp to welcome them.
