I rebelled in the Song Dynasty

Regarding the alliance between Khitan and Jurchen, Liu Shengquan regarded it as a joke.

However, there is one piece of news that is very important, that is, the entire Eastern Route Army was wiped out.

This is not good news for Liu Sheng, and he still thinks about how much more restraint the East Route Army can have.

At least not until after this winter, it seems.

The Khitan counterattack is about to begin.

In the Yanjing court, Emperor Tianzhu was sitting on the dragon chair, with an uncontrollable smile on his face. This time he went east to reach an alliance with the Jurchens, and we went south together to rob the Song Dynasty. We sent troops, and they sent people, and we got four or six points.

"In addition, Song betrayed his alliance and abandoned the treaty, and regardless of the overall situation, he resolutely attacked Daliao.

Although it has been defeated, do you think you should take advantage of the victory and pursue it? "

There was a lot of noise in the court as soon as the words came out.

"The people of the Song Dynasty are just cheap people, and they have to be beaten every now and then. This time they actually dared to make some kind of maritime alliance between Daliao and Jurchen behind my back. If not for His Majesty's wise eyes, I'm afraid it would have caused another disaster."

"We must teach them a lesson this time. Go to Kyoto and ask them to pay ten times their annual salary."

Everyone was laughing, and it seemed that it would not be difficult to reach Bianjing.

At this time, an untimely voice sounded, Chen Xiaozhan had the ability to do it.

"On September 23rd in the autumn of the fifth year of Tianqing, Song Dynasty launched a massive attack on the West Road and defeated Yingzhou, Shuozhou and Wuzhou.

According to the previously determined strategy, our army has been shrinking and will fight with them in Yunzhou.

In early October, the Song army invaded the territory. Geng Yanxi, the commander-in-chief of the Song army, single-handedly yelled and cursed at the city gates for several days.

General Xiao He couldn't bear the insult and was ordered to fight Geng Yanxi fiercely.

As soon as this statement came out, all the ministers shook their heads and sighed. It is true that they are young people and cannot bear this.

Xiao Zhan ignored everyone's comments and continued: "General Xiao He fought bravely and single-handedly with Geng Yanxi.

The two battled for 50 rounds, with no winner or loser.

Geng Yanxi uttered arrogant words, irritating General Xiao.

General Xiao came forward with a spear, but he had a bow hidden behind his back. The two exchanged moves and before he could turn around with the banquet, General Xiao He turned around and shot Geng Yanxi off his horse with an arrow.

When the Song army saw that their commander had fallen, their ranks began to panic. General Xiao took the opportunity to lead 4000 Pishi troops straight into the enemy's formation.

Xiao Zhan swallowed his saliva after reading this, but Emperor Tianzhu couldn't wait and said, "What next? Tell me quickly."

How could the other flattering ministers miss this opportunity and said hurriedly: "General Xiao must be like a god descending to earth, leading the Pishi army and smashing the Song army into pieces."

Seeing Xiao Zhan nodding, Emperor Tian Zuo laughed loudly, clapped his hands repeatedly, and shouted hello.

The ministers in the court were also all glowing.

"A great victory. Your Majesty, this is a great victory that has not been achieved in decades. We should be rewarded heavily." Some ministers shouted.

Emperor Tian Zuo said with a blushing face: "General Xiao should be the number one among my Khitan juniors in this battle.

I don't know how many enemies have been killed, but with the strength of one army, I defeated 10 enemy troops. Xiao He is full of courage, just like Zhao Zilong in ancient times. When he returns to the capital, I will definitely make him a marquis. "

Emperor Tianzuo gave him his reward, but he didn't wait for Xiao Zhan to kowtow in thanks.

I saw Xiao Zhan with a serious face, clutching the memorial tightly, kneeling on the ground and saying: "Please my emperor to avenge my son, and avenge the four thousand soldiers of the Pishi Army who shed blood."

"What's going on?" Emperor Tianzuo was still immersed in joy and felt that things seemed to be different from what he thought.

"Bring up the memorial." The people above were announcing the good news. When he saw the people below, Emperor Tianzuo's eyes were about to split.

"The battle is like this. I don't even know who the commander-in-chief of the Song Army is. Good, very good." Emperor Tianzuo was shaking with anger.

A new general, before he could shine, was gone, along with his four thousand Pishi army.

At this time, Privy Councilor Hu Fuqing also knelt down: "Your Majesty, my grandson has also been taken captive, and the other party will make an exchange in Yingzhou City.

"Hahaha" Emperor Tianzuo laughed angrily. "Leave Zhang Jue in Xijing and take him back to the capital to hold him accountable." Then he glared at Xiaozhan and said, "I'll give you [-] cavalry and [-] infantry. Can a [-]-strong army conquer the three states?"

Xiao Zhan took off his helmet and said: "Family hatred and country hatred, how dare I not sacrifice my life?"

...

At the same time, the Song army who stayed in Yingzhou City received news from the Song court.

"Let's discuss, what kind of charter should we get? Should we leave or stay?"

This meeting was important. Wang Zhen was sitting in the upper position, with people on the left and right joining the army. On the other side was Cai You, who was even carried over to his bed.

Cai You was lying on the bed, covered with a quilt, his face was sallow, motionless, and he couldn't see the bright hall.

When Wang Zhen saw that everyone was silent, he stood up and said: "The imperial court received news that the East Route Army has been completely wiped out. The one hundred thousand army led by Tong Shuai was supposed to be foolproof in capturing Yanjing, but the mud-legged people in the south gathered to cause trouble. Sweeping through more than 20 states, the officials had no choice but to remove [-] elite soldiers and let Tong Shuai go to quell the rebellion."

As soon as Commander Tong left, the remaining [-] troops were ambushed and the entire army was wiped out.

Now we are the only army in Khitan territory.

Since we have never encountered resistance before, we have sent good news to the officials. We have regained some of our homeland, and rewards from the officials are coming one after another. I believe everyone will also have rewards.

The Jurchens also launched an attack in the rear of the Khitan in accordance with the treaty and contained a large number of Khitan people. The officials ordered us to regain our homeland.

What the officials mean is that we must capture Yunzhou and we must not let our allies underestimate us. "

Wang Zhen's fingers kept tapping on the table, but his eyes were not on the table at all.

A member of the army stood up and said: "Sir, our army was defeated miserably at the gates of Yunzhou City, and was chased by the enemy to the Sanggan River. We barely managed to gather some remnant troops, and we have long lost the power we had at the beginning.

The men have no intention of fighting for a long time. If the Khitan pursues their troops, another defeat will be inevitable.

Why not go back to the country to recuperate for a while and then fight another day? "

Wang Chen's words were meant for Cai You, but unexpectedly, a dumbfounded young man appeared to answer the question.

He looked stunned, slapped the table and said: "The officials want to regain their homeland, are you going to desert?"

The general hurriedly knelt down and said: "My lord, this subordinate has absolutely no such intention. I hope your lord will investigate clearly."

The remaining generals also interceded and said, "Sir, our army is indeed severely weakened. We only have less than [-] fighting men, most of whom are without armor or soldiers."

How could Wang Tian not know this? He also wanted to return to the country.

But he didn't want to take this responsibility. Although Song Kaiguo had not killed any minister for crime so far, he would at most be ridiculed and then demoted when he returned.

He was unlucky enough to miss the capital in this life, which made him feel worse than death.

However, the soldiers who joined the army wanted to return to the country. All the generals were killed in the battle and more than half of the troops were lost. What else could they do to settle the matter?

At worst, he could survive. If he stayed in Yingzhou City and fought against the Khitans, there would be no way of survival.

"Sir, give me the order to return to the army!" Several generals forced Wang Zhen.

Wang Zhen walked slowly towards Cai You, lying in his ears and not knowing what he said, he took out a letter and stuffed it into Cai You's arms.

"Ahem..." There was a light cough at this time, breaking the tense atmosphere.

Wang Zhen stepped forward as if he had grabbed a savior and said, "Ms. sir, you're awake."

Cai You slowly looked around, and then shouted: "Come here, take these few offenders out and beat them with fifty army sticks."

Then he grabbed Wang Zhen's hand tightly, looked at him sharply and said: "Defend the city and live or die with Yingzhou City."
