Chapter 1082 Summation
This is really a heavy snow, and the cold winter in the entire north has entered a new stage. It is true that the general's horn and bow cannot be controlled, and the iron coat of the general is cold and uncomfortable.

It's just that Wang Yan's army of more than 100,000 people is not only in trouble with iron clothes, but all of them are in trouble. Although Todo's position is, to be precise, he is himself. In the Tang Dynasty, the position of a local boss who controlled military power, finance and taxation was called Jiedushi.

The development of the times, the advancement of technology, and the acquisition of resources have driven down the price of armor. Of course, there are still precious treasures of armor, but there is no shortage of armor for ordinary soldiers.

It snowed heavily, and the snow melted again and the temperature dropped. Even though the armor was treated, lined with flannel, and thick cotton clothes were worn inside, it still couldn't withstand marching outside all day. In addition, heavy snow blocked the mountains and buried the roads, which had a serious impact on the march.

From this aspect, what Xiao Dongliang said about the heavy snow saving the Khitan is true.

Because even though the Khitan had already reacted and were resisting desperately, the war on the Western Front had fallen into a state of anxiety from the previous level. But overall, the army led by Wang Yan was still on the offensive, and the Khitan was shrinking its defense line step by step. The current heavy snowfall and the sudden cold weather have indeed slowed down the attack speed of the 100,000-strong army led by Wang Yan, leaving the Khitan more time to respond.

But on the other hand, the war started after the autumn harvest and continued until the following spring. This was a normal war time. Choosing to do it after autumn naturally made preparations for winter before the war started. The delay caused by the coming cold winter was originally planned. After all, they are slow, and the Khitans are even slower.

Although the Khitans are slow, they are very anxious.

In the imperial capital of Shangjing, just like the Imperial City of Xixia back then, there were all ants on the hot pot, struggling to get around, and there was no way to do anything about it. From Yelu Hongji to the various ministers of the North and South Houses below, most of them were furious.

Talking about it, it’s just a few points. First, choose someone to lead the battle. Second, logistics work, mobilizing supplies, and recruiting troops. Third, deployment issues.

To sum it up, what should be used to fight, who should fight, and how to fight. In this way, the central court has determined the regulations, and then issued them to each level for implementation.

If we have to add other procedures, considering the current situation in Khitan, there will be two more procedures. The first is to counter insurgency and maintain stability. Due to the constant internal chaos, although no summary data has been released yet, the situation is already threatening to spread. The second is to negotiate peace. At the beginning of the war, there were already voices of surrender from within.

This used to be the patent of the Song Dynasty. After all, it was the Khitan who used the Song Dynasty to beat them up. They beat out the God of Chariots and the finished Zhenzong. They were so shameless that they even wanted to be immortalized as Mount Taishan.

But now the offense and defense changed shape, and the change was so fast and sudden that many people did not react when they heard the voice of asking for peace. Then they killed four Hanchens from the South Court and the Hanchen from the North Court. Two Khitan ministers.

There is no doubt that the Khitan's north-south official system was an effective policy of the multi-ethnic regime and promoted ethnic integration. This is a matter of conclusion. But there is no need to doubt that the Khitans are nobler and more powerful after all.

The Khitan's military power was in the North Court, and the Han officials in the South Court were only in charge of the people's livelihood of the Han people. The main areas they managed were naturally the Sixteen Youyun Prefectures sent out by Shi Jingtang.

It is indeed not ruled out that some people place their hope on the Khitan, believing that the Khitan can take over the Central Plains in the future. They place their hope on transforming the Khitan people and striving for the status of the Han people.

But I don’t have a knife in my hand, but I live under the edge of others’ knives. In normal times, it may indeed affect some lifestyles and convey some culture. When it came time to meet Zhenzhang, the Khitan's knife was swung with no mercy at all.

"It's unfair, it's unfair..."

The cries of injustice were so shrill that they lingered in the hall for a long time.

Sitting in the front row was a minister with a long face, a long beard, wearing a Khitan official hat, with his hands in his sleeves and his eyes narrowed to look like a human head. He opened his eyes and looked at the few people who were dragged out, in a daze. .

He turned back to look at the superior Yelu Hongji, and met his eyes.

Yelu Hongji's eyes must be sharp at this moment. He is only twenty-five years old this year, which is when he was in his prime. He determined the position of the prince at an early age, and did not wait too long to take the throne carefully. The transition of power was relatively smooth.

Putting aside whether he can accomplish big things or whether he has the ability, now that he has the power, of course he is still very powerful.

Being stared at like this, the man with the long face and beard naturally avoided his gaze, but felt a little uneasy in his heart. He peeked again and made sure that the contact with his eyes just now was unintentional and not deliberately directed at him, and then he felt relieved.

He is Yelu Zhongyuan, the real brother of Yelu Zongzhen, the Xingzong of Liao who died just two years ago. In history, he was the protagonist of the very famous Chongyuan Rebellion in the Liao Kingdom. He wanted to assassinate Yelu Hongji and usurp the throne, but failed and committed suicide.

Of course there is no rebellion yet, but I am still unhappy in my heart. Because Yelu Zongzhen's position was not stable when he came to the throne, his biological mother, Yuanfei Xiao Yujin, moved Xiao Bodhisattva, the Rende Queen of Liao Shengzong, and established herself as the Queen Mother Regent. She also conspired with her brother Xiao Xiaoxian to make Yelu Zhongyuan the emperor.

Yelu Zhongyuan failed to live up to expectations and told Yelu Zongzhen the news, which enabled Yelu Zongzhen to escape the disaster and imprison his biological mother Xiao Kunjin to survive this danger. In order to thank Yelu Chongyuan, he named him the emperor's younger brother, indicating that he would be the emperor in the future.

But Yelu Zongzhen did not abide by this verbal agreement, which may have been unintentional. After all, if he was rescued once, he would always promise a heavy reward. After thinking about it afterwards, he didn't want to admit the debt, so he had to fool him.

Yelu Zhongyuan was fooled in this way. He was honest and waiting for the death of his good brother. As a result, his good brother died, but his good nephew took over. Of course he was not happy.

In order to appease Yelu Chongyuan, a good uncle, Yelu Hongji gave him benefits when he came to power. He named Yelu Chongyuan the uncle of the emperor and the marshal of the world's troops. He was exempted from having to worship the emperor and was given gold certificates, four hats and two-color robes. He is given the highest preferential treatment in the clan and is extremely respected and pampered. He also gave his cousin Yelu Nerugu the title of Prince of Anding.

It must have appeased them, but it also made the two men even more unwilling. After all, they were the ones who granted the titles to others when they were in power, so even if they had to use charity from others, it belonged to them.

This mentality is very scary, Yelu Zhongyuan is better, after all, he is older, relatively calm, and can handle things. His son Yerunelugu was restless and wanted to be the Khitan emperor in his dreams...

After the small court meeting was over, Yelu Chongyuan and Nerugu returned home and dismissed all their servants.

Nerugu said: "Aye, we were just discussing the matter, why did you peek at Chala?"

Chala is the Khitan name of Yelu Hongji. Nerugu obviously did not respect Yelu Hongji.

"When I saw his fierce eyes, I thought he had murderous intentions towards you and my father. After a few glances, I felt relieved."

"What does Aye think of the situation in Daliao?"

"Defeat is certain. There is Song court outside and rebellion inside. How can we win with such internal and external troubles?"

"My child thinks so too."

After a moment of silence, Nerugu lowered his voice and said, "Ah, why don't we kill him? Now there are internal and external troubles, it is winter, the roads are blocked by heavy snow, and the traffic is not smooth. It is a great time. And Song Ting wants to It is a foolish dream to destroy Daliao. As long as Aye takes the throne and we secede Youyun Sixteen Prefectures and actively seek peace, the Song Dynasty will definitely stop its troops and suppress the civil strife and take it back someday. "

When it comes to clicking, Nerugu is like in movies and TV shows, making pulling movements with the knife in front of his neck.

"Nonsense! At this time, if we miss the battle, we will be in danger of ruining our country..."

"Aye, if we continue to fight like this, won't there be danger of national subjugation? The Song Dynasty is now stronger, not the Song Dynasty of the past. Moreover, Wang Yan is eyeing the tiger, has elite soldiers in hand, and is capable of leading the army. In eight days, hundreds of troops will be invaded. Here, there is an army of 100,000 people. If we continue to fight and break the courage of our army, we will march straight in.

Coupled with successive years of heavy taxes, this triggered civil unrest. We can cope with it now, but if we continue the fight and impose heavy taxes, I'm afraid we won't be able to suppress it. By that time, as the Daliao royal family, you and I, father and son, will definitely have our heads in different places.

Even if my father and son don't act, the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will also be lost. At that time, when we all retreat outside the Great Wall, Zha La will definitely use heavy regulations to establish his authority. Aye thinks that it is possible to let my father and son live at that time?

Besides, the throne was supposed to belong to Aye, but he had no credibility, and he deceived Aye. If it weren't for Aye, he would have died long ago. Now where would it be Chara's turn to be the emperor? Aye should be sitting in that position. Now we take back our throne, what's wrong?
The Song Dynasty and the Liao Dynasty have been at war with me for decades, for the Sixteen States of Youyun. As long as we wait to cut it back, it is inevitable for the Song Dynasty to stop the army, and we will not waste money and food on military affairs. Wang Yan's son was foolishly loyal to the Song Dynasty. As long as the Song Emperor issued an edict, it would not be a concern.

Aye, our lives cannot be in other people's hands, and we cannot live by looking at other people's faces, Aye..."

Yelu Zhongyuan was silent. He thought about his good son's words, and the more he thought about them, the more sense they made.

"How to act?"

"Okay, Aye, my father and son will achieve great things this time."

Immediately, the father and son started to discuss...

The Khitan must be defeated. This is something that people agree on. This is an established fact that at the beginning of the war, Wang Yan's side fought with overwhelming force and destroyed everything.

Because this is the most direct battle of combat effectiveness between soldiers. If you can't fight head-on, there is no need to compare the rest. Xixia has already told them this with facts. It's just that they don't want to admit it, they always want to continue the fight. In the final analysis, there is no need for them to go to the battlefield to die.

The father and son made what they thought was the right choice based on Wang Yan's terror and the recent strength of the Song Dynasty. Of course, they also had their ambitions.

To be honest, there is nothing wrong with Yelu Zhongyuan, he is right...

Now is indeed a better time. Foreign countries are being bombed, domestic turmoil is endless, and people are panicked. Most of Yelu Hongji's energy is focused on the war. The guards around him must also have random thoughts and unrest. If people's hearts are wandering, they should relax. If they relax, they will take advantage of them.

After fighting for another month, the Song army's offensive was still fierce. Although the two sides were fighting back and forth on the southern battlefield, the western battlefield led by Wang Yan, although blocked by the cold, was fighting steadily and making progress step by step. If there are more troops transferred, the blocking time will be longer; if there are fewer troops transferred, the blocking time will be shorter.

The battlefield on the Western Front became a quagmire for the Khitan, consuming their financial, material and manpower.

However, they did greatly reduce the forward speed of Wang Yan's army. Although they were still winning on the whole, they did not reach too far in a month.

The main reason is that the Khitan side has more people and naturally has more troops than Xixia. Even in winter, there is always potential that can be tapped under forced orders. As long as they are not led by idiots, they can still play a role.

However, the domestic situation is becoming more and more serious, and the rule has been truly shaken.

Yelu Hongji showed the courage that an emperor should have. He sent trusted ministers to quell the rebellion, and announced tax reductions and exemptions. He would no longer impose forced apportionments, and he would personally conquer the country.

As we all know, personal military expedition is a real method that can increase morale and improve combat effectiveness. Yelu Hongji wants to make a last ditch effort.

But many things were not as expected, and Yelu Hongji's highlight moment as an emperor did not have a chance to be realized...

While preparing for the expedition, Yelu Chongyuan and his son captured Kongkang, bribed a lot of people, and gathered some elite palace troops. This was a pure Khitan army and belonged to the emperor's personal army. , the combat effectiveness is still very good.

Then, Yelu Hongji was hacked to death.

Yelu Chongyuan was not a waste. Now the Khitan also needed peace, so after the death of some of Yelu Hongji's cronies, Yelu Chongyuan ascended the throne smoothly without any trouble.

The first thing he did after he ascended the throne was to send envoys to sue for peace. The troops need to be divided into three groups, one going to the southern front to find Fan Zhongyan, one going to Xixia to find Wang Yan, and one going to the grassland to find the elusive cavalry unit.

We can't fight anymore, if we fight again it will be over...

"Ms. sir, my brothers caught three bastards from the front who came to our door. They said they were envoys sent by the Khitan to sue for peace. Here are their documents, as well as the sealed document from the Khitan Dog Emperor."

Bastard is the unified name given by the Song army under Wang Yan to the Han people who serve as officials in Khitan and Xixia. Wang Yan didn't pay attention to this. It was all a spontaneous behavior of soldiers. He didn't want to pay attention to such trivial matters. Even among them, there may be some Han officials who have no choice but to do so. People, there are always many reasons to find.

At this time, Wang Yan was sitting with Xiao Dongliang, three little ones, a few swordsmen, and minor officials, eating hot pot and drinking shochu, feeling very comfortable.

He waved his hand, indicating that the stranger did not need to leave. He took the document and glanced at it, then threw it aside and ordered with a smile: "Bring the person here."

"Yes, sir."

The military attache responded respectfully and left, but after a while, three people wearing brocade hats and mink fur came in. Despite the hardships along the way, despite the poor treatment on the way here, and despite being in a very embarrassing state, these three people still maintained their elegance. They are all in their thirties or forties. Considering their temperament, these people should have high official status.

The leader cupped his hands and said, "I have met Wang Xianggong. I am..."

"I don't care who you are, I just tell you what's going on."

"Uh... I have heard about Mr. Xianggong for a long time in Liao. I am lucky enough to meet him today. It is really extraordinary."

"Let you tell me something." The official sitting aside glared and shouted, very imposing.

"Uh...yes, yes. I, the Emperor of Daliao, sent us to ask for peace and want to cede..."

The official glanced at Wang Yan, who was concentrating on eating meat and serving it to a few small ones. Then he frowned at the Khitan envoy and said softly, "Huh?" '.

"Return, return. We, Daliao, want to return the Sixteenth Prefecture of Youyun, and have sent envoys south to Bianjing. My lord is afraid that your husband will not know about this, so he specially sent two groups of envoys, one to the grassland and the other to find your husband. I just came to explain this matter to the Prime Minister. I, Daliao, are sincerely seeking peace, so we should put away our weapons for the time being to avoid increasing casualties and wasting money and food..."

"Finished?" Wang Yan picked up a large piece of meat with chopsticks and glanced sideways.

"Ah, there's more, Mr. Xianggong, my Lord has already made it clear that as long as Mr. Xian gives up the army for the time being, he will give it to Mr. Xian..." The Khitan envoy was uneasy and spoke unsteadily, but he spoke smoothly and muttered. A long list of gifts. If they were made into a list, with the same line, I would probably be able to write two meters long.

Seeing that everyone was listening intently, and a few little ones were also listening hard, Wang Yan did not interrupt until the Khitan envoy finished speaking.

Then he took a sip of wine and asked, "I just saw the document and it was signed Yelu Chongyuan. What's going on?"

"Uh……"

Wang Yan waved his hand: "Pull him down and punish him."

"I said, I said, sir, I said."

Glancing anxiously at the soldiers behind him who were watching eagerly, the Khitan envoy said, "In fact, my husband will also know about it in the future. Half a month ago..."

Lai made Lao Lao honestly explain the situation clearly, and Wang Yan and others finally understood the great changes within the Khitan.

Although it has always been difficult for the Khitan to be the emperor, and there are always people who want to usurp the throne and seize power, Wang Yan really did not expect that at this time, there would be someone who was so clear about the situation and so decisive.

Speaking of which, it can be considered that Wang Yan indirectly helped Yelu Zhongyuan become emperor because he indirectly helped his dream come true, which is meritorious.

As for whether it's a draw or not, this is a question that doesn't need to be said. You know the result just by looking at the heel.

The pursuit of the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty was to take back the Sixteenth Province of Youyun. Now that the Khitan could not bear to surrender and sue for peace, of course they were willing. After taking back the Sixteenth State of Youyun and taking another bite of the meat, the monarchs and ministers of the Song Dynasty fell into a collective climax and were so happy that they went to heaven.

"Send them to Bianjing."

"My lord, please stop fighting as soon as possible. It will be of great benefit to both our countries. My lord... ah..." The Khitan envoy was still shouting, but the impatient soldiers behind him slapped them with loud mouths and slapped the three people who were shouting. shut up.

Seeing that the Khitan envoy was being taken away, an official on the side asked: "Ms. sir, should we stop our troops?"

"Is your surname Yelu?" Wang Yan raised his eyes and continued to eat meat and drink.

If he didn't receive the order from the capital, he would definitely continue to fight. After all, the territory conquered now and the wealth snatched away belong to him. If we stop fighting and give the nobles time to react, they will only get poor people and land. It will be impossible to get rich, and the good things will be gone long ago.

The fight should still be fought.

Even if they negotiate peace, small-scale wars will become the norm in the future, just like the treatment of Xixia, slowly torturing them until they collapse and the regime disappears...

I would like to express my daily gratitude to the good brothers who vote monthly, recommend and read quietly for their strong support!
