I became the son of Renzong

"When the war is over, only those who have an advantage will have the right to speak. Does it stop at Yanyun, and then the Northern Liao will not be controlled..."

At this time, Wen Yanbo understood the entire strategic plan and the imperial court's grand plan.Since it is planned to lose the combat power of the Northern Liao Dynasty to a certain extent, it is not a bad idea to pretend to be a snake at this time.

"Mr. Wen, in my opinion, the credibility of a court is more important than the victory of a war. It is difficult to establish the credibility of a dynasty, and it is even more difficult to maintain this credibility. However, if a court loses its credibility, it can be done at will. A simple thing will do.”

"Even if we are dealing with enemies, I still have to focus on the credibility of the Song court. How to do it in private is a strategy, but in public, we must maintain the integrity of the court!"

If we really want to say that the court is absolutely honest, Zhao Xi himself would feel blush.The civil strife in Yelv Yixin that has just been quelled, what did the court do, and the important ministers of the court don't know?

However, at this juncture, the integrity of the imperial court is mentioned again... It means that different people have different opinions, and I believe all important officials can understand it.

This is a negotiation, and the negotiation on the table will be recorded and passed on to future generations.As for Yelu Yixin's rebellion, no matter what kind of speculation the folks have, it shows that the court is lenient...

Whether it is military support or threats from family members, these will become eternal secrets.What appeared in the world was the family members of the homeless rebels that Da Song received and properly accommodated when the rebels were desperate in the spirit of humanity.

As for now...

"The Great Song Dynasty has the capital not to fight with the Northern Liaoxu and commit snakes!"

This is the reality, and Wang Anshi hit the nail on the head.

"It's very likely that there is a possibility that you can't make meritorious deeds in one battle."

Lu Huiqing has no taboos about Kengbei Liao.The so-called history is recorded by the victors. What kind of records are recorded will be decided by the Song Dynasty court. Don't care about the Northern Liao Dynasty court that will soon cease to exist.

"No. I think that Beiliao must go all out this time. Judging from the request of Beiliao to send envoys to fight the world, the main combat power loss of Beiliao will not be great if the civil strife in Yelv Yixin is quelled. Beiliao dares to settle Yanyun's foundation with a single battle."

"Similarly, it is precisely because of this that the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty has been on guard, or waiting for me to go north. When I went north to the army, it also prevented the main force of the Northern Liao Dynasty from continuing to evade."

"Even if the royal family and descendants of the Beiliao still want to avoid fighting, the other forces in the Beiliao do not agree. Whether or not the Beiliao will send out the main force in this battle is not waiting for me, the Song Dynasty, but all the forces in the Beiliao. wait."

"If the emperor of Beiliao does not want to fall apart, he must fight with all his strength in this battle. There may be a slight chance of victory in the battle, and he can continue to maintain Beiliao, a group that may collapse at any time. If he does not fight, he will directly die. collapse."

"The situation has been decided. Beiliao must devote all its strength and mobilize the main force in this battle. The key is that the original glory of Beiliao must also decide to fight at this time."

The retreat of the Northern Liao Dynasty, the [-] cavalry circling and harassing, until now the king of the Northern Liao Dynasty personally conquered, and many factors combined, it is not difficult to guess the current situation of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

The eradication of the civil strife was a great victory, and it also caused the veterans of the Northern Liao Dynasty to be exhausted. Only then did the country advance step by step, while the Northern Liao retreated.

Judging from the general signs, whether it is those who quell the civil strife or those who moved to the front line of Hebei Road, they are all forces other than the royal family.

No one is stupid, and who can endure all the time?

Conceding step by step, the desire to fight is not strong, and various internal thoughts are frequent, so the king of Beiliao had to send [-] elites to go around, hoping to use even a small victory to boost morale.The result was unsatisfactory and he lost again.

At this time, the entire Beiliao team showed some signs of instability, and there was such a thing as a personal conquest.

The pressure is down, but if you back down again, it may be difficult to maintain...

"By the way, the fourth son said that a general in Suzhou called Gao Changchang was originally a descendant of the Bohai Kingdom? How is it now?"

Although the fourth prince's team could not play a role as a surprise soldier, through business activities, it managed to attract a lot of forces along the coast of Liaodong and arouse a lot of things.

Some time ago, in the report, it was mentioned that a general of the Northern Liao Dynasty, a descendant of the nobles of the Bohai Kingdom, was very ambitious...

"Going back to the official's house, after quelling the civil strife in the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and sending troops south, I hesitated."

hesitate?I'm afraid they don't even have contact here.I understand that Beiliao is a skinny camel, besides, Beiliao is not yet in a desperate situation...

"Waiting and watching! Forget it, when this battle is over, the imperial court doesn't need his response anymore. The Northern Liao Dynasty does not allow the Bohai Kingdom to exist, and the Song Dynasty will not set up such a vassal either!"

Chapter 939 Evaluation

What is fought is money and food, equipment, logistics, morale, the bravery of the soldiers, and the strategy of the generals.

When it really comes to the battlefield, when it's time for soldiers and horses to run against each other, strategy seems to be of little importance.

In the current Hebei Road, on the battlefield of Song and Liao, it seems that strategy is not very necessary. At least, strategy is not so important for the battlefield itself.

In many aspects of the outcome of the war, Beiliao has almost no advantage at this time...

But this battle has to be fought.

Perhaps, in this battle, Beiliao was forced to the point where it had to fight.

Since the civil strife in Yelv Yixin, the fighting in Beiliao has never stopped.It was precisely because of the civil strife in Yelv Yixin that the Northern Liao court felt that some forces needed to be weakened.Therefore, when it was known that there would be a war at the beginning, Beiliao did not choose to negotiate with Song Dynasty.

It is precisely because of this that the elite main force of the Northern Liao Dynasty did not put much energy into quelling the civil strife and fighting Yelu Yixin's rebels. They have always been on guard against the Song State...

However, Song State's formation of troops this time made Beiliao's team particularly uncomfortable...

Zhao Xi's strategic planning is still relatively influenced by later generations.In the battle of the cold weapon era, the two sides basically concentrated their combat power in one place, and the final victory or defeat of the entire battle was determined by the victory or defeat at a certain point.

Earlier, it was even the one-on-one battle between generals that determined the outcome of a war.

Even now, when the two sides are fighting, they basically determine a certain area as the battlefield.For example, the previous Battle of Hedong and the previous Battle of Haoshuichuan all used a specific area as the battlefield, and then the outcome was determined.

However, Zhao Xi is a descendant, and his strategic deployment tends to be large.If hundreds of thousands, or even millions of people are all concentrated in Xiongzhou and Yizhou... Such a war, Zhao Xi has no idea.

Unexpectedly, it was precisely because of this deployment that the advantage of the cavalry in Beiliao was completely lost.Coupled with the fatigue of war horses and untimely logistics supplies, these objective problems cannot be changed by the king's own conquest.

The civil servants and generals of the Northern Liao Dynasty are all aware of the current situation in the Northern Liao Dynasty...

Da Song now does not need to rely on the number of infantry to fight against the cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and does not need to use the original army formation to fight against the cavalry.With the sturdiness and mobility of chariots, the mass destruction of firearms, and the advantages of long-range and medium-range crushing, the original pattern of tens of thousands of people carrying thousands of cavalry has become a situation where fewer can be compared with many, or even equal. ability.

There is a camp every [-] miles, and all the cavalry and chariot soldiers are coordinated in equal amounts, almost making the entire border defense line of the Hebei Road airtight...

The original method of relying on the maneuverability of the cavalry in the Northern Liao Dynasty to make the Song Dynasty's defense line riddled with holes in the Hebei Plain is almost useless now...

At the same time, Song Dynasty's balanced deployment of troops across the board forced Beiliao to deploy troops accordingly.However, the Northern Liao Dynasty was not an absolute unified dynasty, which led to complaints from all parties.

This was really not intentional by Zhao Xi, it was purely an unintentional result...

The personal conquest of the king of the Northern Liao Dynasty has improved morale, but it has really little effect.

Song Dynasty is different.How should I put it, now the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are basically brought out by the old guard battalion and the guards, that is to say, the soldiers of the Song Dynasty are basically Zhao Xi's disciples.

Not to mention Zhao Xi's reforms in the military system, not to mention the improvement of the status of generals, just from the current situation that the Song Dynasty made the surrounding countries surrender, and the improvement of the Song Dynasty's military strength all started from the first southern expedition led by Zhao Xi.

The first Southern Expedition, the Battle of Haoshuichuan, the Battle of Hedong, all the way to the annihilation of Xixia, all the battles made the entire army of the Song Dynasty blindly worship Zhao Xi.

This time, it was the official conquest... Da Song's entire morale was soaring.

When the officials inspected the vehicles passing by, the uniform and loud roar made every visitor feel excited.

In fact, Zhao Xi really didn't do anything.During the personal conquest, Zhao Xi said that the personal conquest is a form, and everything is fought according to the established strategy... So, he just strolled around the entire defense line in a carriage...

"Officials, this veteran has not been in contact with the army for a long time. The old minister is not flattering the official. Whether it is recorded or seen, the veteran believes that there is no dynasty in the world today that can win the army of the Song Dynasty! Chen Wen Yanbo congratulates His Majesty!"
