Dad, this seems to be the Northern Song Dynasty

Chapter 312 The Chanyuan Alliance
Jiedu envoy Sun Yue would definitely not become an envoy, especially in a place like Yunzhou. With his repeated insistence, Zhao Kuangyin originally wanted to retreat and make him a defense envoy or an observation envoy, but in the end Sun Yue still refused to do it.

"Officials, I'm really not humble. It's good for you to let me be a capital prison or something. It's really too early for me to be alone. I don't have the ability."

Zhao Kuangyin thought for a while: "Okay then, since you insist, who do you think is right to hand over this Yunzhou?"

"Pan Renmei, who I fought against the Southern Han last time, is pretty good. You can also assign Yang Ye to him. The two of them complement each other and will definitely be able to keep the Yanmen Gate safe."

Of course, this is not nonsense. Originally, during the reign of Emperor Taizong in history, these two people cooperated with each other tacitly, and kept it well.

"Pan Mei? It's a pity that he is far away in Hanyang now. As for Yang Ye, his ability is unquestionable, but he is a new general after all, and he won't accept the counterattack this time. It is too inappropriate to entrust him with such a heavy responsibility all of a sudden. And besides, I can't trust him either."

"Then... I can't think of anything, anyway, you can send anyone, but don't send me."

"Hmph! Let's see how promising you are. It's time for you to get married."

"Uh... soon."

"Well, you have worked hard this year. I think this is the case. I will make you a marquis first. After this battle is over, you will get married first. What kind of official will you be... then we will talk about it at that time."

Sun Yue was also overjoyed when he heard the words. He has been really tired recently, and it would be nice to have a vacation, so he readily agreed.

But seeing Zhao Kuangyin drowsy while drinking, chattering in a normal way: "You drink some too, what to do next, do you have any ideas?"

Sun Yue took the wine glass carefully, took a sip, and said, "I'm just a staff officer. If we want to start a full-scale war with Khitan, such a big war minister really doesn't have the guts to talk nonsense."

Zhao Kuangyin didn't say anything when he heard the words. After all, Sun Yue really had no experience in large-scale combat. He only led a small army when he destroyed Houshu. Not a play.

"Then tell me, can Yan Yun take it back?"

Sun Yue had no choice but to smile wryly and said, "Yun must be in his bag, is this Yan... I really can't say."

"There's nothing bad to say, let's call and see, but I guess it's too much, the preparations this time are really too hasty."

Sun Yue nodded, agreeing, he was really afraid that Zhao Kuangyin would be like Zhao Guangyi in history if he came to Youzhou and vowed not to return.

The Khitan was defeated this time, and the kings of both the northern and southern courts died. It is inevitable that the vitality will be greatly injured, especially the new emperor Yeluxian's lineage, in fact, has no decent power. The Song Dynasty must also take advantage of this opportunity Beat them up, but if you want to recover Yanyun Sixteen States, it depends on your luck. If you are lucky, you may be able to do it, but the hope is really not very high.

After all, the preparation was too hasty.Although it took less than two months to fight against Houshu before, the preparatory work took almost two years.

The national policy of the Great Song Dynasty was to go from south to north. The reason why this battle was fought this time was completely accidental. The military supplies hoarded before were put in Hanyang, Jiangling and other places. They were preparing to fight the Southern Tang Dynasty. Let's ship things over.

Besides, the timing is not quite right, it will be autumn in a blink of an eye, Khitan is getting colder and fiercer, and Song Dynasty didn’t even prepare winter clothes. .

The Khitan system of all people being soldiers ensures that their war potential is far lower than that of the Song Dynasty when they are alive and dead. Controlling millions of strings is not empty talk. Unanimously external, no matter what kind of virtues these relatives of the Khitan people fight among themselves, they will be twisted as soon as outsiders come.

It took so much effort to wipe out Ye Luxian's direct descendants. If he took the opportunity to integrate his relatives under the pressure of foreign enemies, and took the opportunity to secure his position, then he would have wasted all his troubles.

Therefore, give it a try, it's best if you can get it down, if you can't get it down, go away quickly, don't give them a chance to fight back, and wait for them to bite the dog, this is the most sensible choice.

Anyway, after this battle, they will have to suffer at least ten or eight years. If the scale of the civil strife is relatively large, it will be longer. Song Dynasty can rest assured to unify the south and accumulate strength.

The ensuing battle was similar to Sun Yue's expectations. Zhao Kuangyin ordered Han Chongyun to deploy all the camps in the north, and immediately promoted Xiong, and the Tianxiong army from Baerzhou immediately went north and dispatched troops to Youzhou. Zhao Guangmei personally supervised the army and led Luoyang's Tian Qinzuo He and Han Chongxun then supported, and he himself led the army to attack Yunzhou in person. The Northwest Zhufan and Zhejia Army followed up, and ordered Cui Yanjin to support the remaining soldiers and horses in Kaifeng, making a posture of fighting a national war.

Needless to say, Yunzhou, there is no need for Zhao Kuangyin to take action in person, and the party will be defeated in one battle, but if you want to move forward, Ye Luxian will arrive in person soon. It is said that the real fire was played, although the Song army was victorious, but the Khitan's reinforcements continued to flow. If he is destroyed by two thousand today, he will be supplemented by three thousand tomorrow, and he has never been able to achieve a real victory.

As for Youzhou, although Yelu Xiezhen died, brother Yeluxiu was not a vegetarian. Although he couldn't gather too many soldiers and horses in a hurry, Han Chongyun was dragged by the strength of the cavalry, and he definitely couldn't catch up with him. Yes, they can only fight around Youzhou. Although the momentum is good, it is basically useless to resolve the battle within a few months.

A few months later, it will be winter, and by then it will be the Liao army chasing the Song army to fight.

Anyway, generally speaking, the Song army was able to win but not conquer. Although the Khitan was beaten to death, it didn't feel good on its own side.

When autumn comes and the cool breeze comes together, both parties know that it's almost done.

On this day Zhao Kuangyin called Sun Yue over, and said without any surprise: "Emperor Liao sent an envoy yesterday and asked for peace again."

Sun Yue said with a smile: "It seems that the officials have agreed?"

"Ah, give them a chance, to be honest, our food and grass supplies are a little bit overwhelmed."

"How the officials plan to negotiate."

"Let's decide the time and place. I leave this job to you. You can decide it."

Sun Yue already knew that there would be such a day, and the relevant preparations were almost done, so she thought for a while and said, "Then Chanzhou, let them send Brother Yeluxiu to come over in person, I won't talk about others."

Zhao Kuangyin was overjoyed, and scolded with a smile: "Your mother is sick? Why don't you tell people to go directly to Kaifeng to talk to you, I think it's Yunzhou."

Sun Yue scratched her head, feeling a little nonsense, it seems that this feeling is out of play, and said: "Yunzhou can't do it, Yunzhou is already my territory, why not Tanzhou."

"What?"

"Because Tanzhou and Chanzhou look alike, I prefer the word Chanyuan Alliance."
