I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 920 Beiliao declares war first
It is indeed a pity that even though Yelu Yixin has great talent, he still cannot escape the fate of being besieged under the absolute power gap.

Just after several battles between the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty and Yelu Yixin's rebels...~
"How many are left?"

"It is reported that Yelu Yixin has less than [-] troops left to fight."

Today's Palace of Qinzheng seems to be getting tense. Every day, the cabinet is arranged to stay behind. All reports on the battle against the rebellion in the Northern Liao Dynasty must be submitted to the Palace of Qinzheng in time.

Zhao Xi didn't stay in Qinzheng Hall every other day.

"Almost..."

Zhao Xi suddenly said such an endless sentence.

"The official said that the envoy can move?"

"Well! Let's move! In addition, the related public opinion deployment should also be launched together. It shouldn't take long for the country to send troops to the north..."

Is this coming?Zhao Xi's emotions were also a little indescribable for a while.

Recovering Yanyun, this is the Great Song Dynasty, whether it is the court or the people, whether it is civil servants or military generals, it is the obsession of everyone in the entire country and the entire Song Dynasty.

Until later generations, most of the pity for the Song Dynasty came from Yan Yun...

Now, after years of planning, it's finally time to start.

The army has not moved, and public opinion goes first. This is the old practice of the Song Dynasty today.

First of all, Bianliang's arrival newspaper began to publish the battle report of Yelu Yixin and their bloody battles.

This battle report seems to see a group of cavalry who are dedicated to returning to the Song Dynasty, fighting for their own destiny.

He could have been reunited with his wife and children and lived a happy life in Song Dynasty.

However, because of the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty, they were not given a chance to reform themselves...

What really excited Guochao people was that the newspaper published about what happened to Guochao envoys in Beiliao.

Since the imperial court sent envoys to the north, the envoys have been left in the cold in the post house. In the one month since their arrival in Beiliao, the envoys have never met any of the officials of the Northern Liao court except for the accompanying envoys of the Beiliao court. , and was asked to see the emperor of Beiliao many times.

This is an insult to Da Song......
No matter what, Beiliao should not be so negligent when Great Song sent envoys to mediate, whether it was successful or not. This is a disregard for Great Song!
Comparing the two, Shi Lun published a story from the time of the first emperor: In the time of the first emperor, there was a scholar in Shu who dedicated a poem to the governor of Chengdu, advocating that "burn the Broken Sword Gate and burn the Zhan Pavilion, and Chengdu will be different."When the Chengdu government official saw it, he broke out in a cold sweat, thinking that this was a blatant incitement to rebellion, so he was tied up and sent to the capital, asking the court to punish him.

According to the laws and regulations of the past dynasties, this scholar who speaks badly and is suspected of "inciting rebellion" will be severely punished even if he does not "conspire against great treason".

The first emperor had his own unique views on such things.He discussed the matter and said: "This is an old scholar who is eager to become an official. How can he be punished by writing a poem to vent his anger? It is better to give him an official."Therefore, the scholar was awarded the position of Sihu to join the army.

Looking at the emperor of Beiliao again, facing a group of soldiers who were instigated or ordered to go up to the peak because of a moment of confusion, they would still be put to death when they had already decided to disarm and return to the fields, and even promised to stay away from Beiliao!

That's more than 5 lives, not more than 5 livestock...
In fact, any court would not tolerate treason.But I can show the real story of the first emperor, the complaint of an old scholar.To compare it with Yelu Yixin's army in the Northern Liao Dynasty, there is no comparison.

However, under the current public opinion, this has become a contrast.

For a time, the public opinion of the entire country began to condemn the cruelty of the Northern Liao court, and the barbarism of the Northern Liao Dynasty appeared again in the newspapers.

"It's still so close..."

These public opinion articles seem to be very lively, but unfortunately, apart from condemnation, they are just appeals.This way of shouting slogans twice, Zhao Xi really finds it boring...

Finally, there is another voice...

"The family members are the citizens of the Great Song Dynasty. What about those Khitan people who have been disarmed and returned to the land? Just like the in-laws of the Great Song Dynasty who have been oppressed, will the Great Song Dynasty still remain silent like this?"

Thousands of waves were stirred up at once, and this seemed to be a fuse, which suddenly ignited Guochao's longing for Yanyun for many years.

Therefore, all the commentary articles of Guochao began to clamor for sending troops to the north...
"There are less than [-] left. It is estimated that the [-] are also in a state of scars and physical and mental exhaustion. Yelu Yixin is dead! The official, the old minister thought, it is time to return the envoy."

Wang Anshi's meaning is very clear. Now that things have happened, it is really time to send troops to the Northern Expedition.

"Then call it back..."

I was somewhat nervous. After all, this was the biggest battle of the Kingdom and Dynasty. It was a big battle in which both Song and Liao needed to fight with all their might. It was a battle that would determine the fate of the two dynasties.

This is about to begin...
Calculated according to the time, the edict of the imperial court to recall the envoys should not have reached the Zhongjing Road in the Northern Liao Dynasty, but the border reported that the envoys returned, and they were accompanied by the envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty...

Why did the Northern Liao send envoys at this time?Compromise?This is a bit interesting. The Song Dynasty avenged the rebels of the Northern Liao Dynasty, but the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty compromised with the Song Dynasty because of the life and death of the rebels.

"If Beiliao agrees to give up the remaining twelve prefectures of Yanyun, it can be done."

As for whether Yelu Yixin is dead or alive, what will happen to the [-] cavalry, why do they hinder the Song Dynasty?It is nothing more than to appease the family members and guide public opinion.

Compared with the loss of sending troops, such a result would be perfect.

"Absolutely impossible! If Beiliao intends to return the remaining twelve prefectures of Yanyun, when Yelu Yixin fled to Hebei Road, he should agree to the request of the court. At that time, the imperial court will not refuse to help wipe out Yelu Yixin Rebels."

It is indeed true that this condition was first proposed by Da Song, and Beiliao had the opportunity to slash Da Song. In that case, maybe the imperial court would really agree.

But now, how could Beiliao send Yanyun twelve prefectures respectfully?
What is the purpose of sending envoys from the Northern Liao Dynasty to the south?
"According to the Treaty of Daliao and Song Guodong, both parties must refuse the migration of those who violated the criminal law, and both parties have the obligation to repatriate those who are guilty of crimes in the other party's territory..."

"Daliao closes the entry channel and cooperates with Song to hunt down the escaped artisans. Now, some of the rebels in Daliao have fled to Song. I hope that Song will use the Hedong Treaty to repatriate the rebels from Daliao!"

The imperial court asked, where did the Northern Liao rebels come from in the Song Dynasty?
The envoys of the Northern Liao Dynasty handed over the list of rebels very well prepared, that is, among all the rebels, the family members above the cavalry team were densely packed, filled with nearly twenty sheets of paper, and it was still in the form of a letter of credence.

Tens of thousands of people, this is to let Da Song learn from Beiliao, massacre, or drive these tens of thousands of people to extinction!
This is the purpose of sending envoys from the Northern Liao Dynasty. They are not here to discuss peace, but to question, or to declare war.

Isn't such an accusation tantamount to declaring war?
