I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 937 This is the end of the story
The Gaojingting Department of Hedong Road in the west has already captured Weizhou, and went east out of Zijingling to establish a defense line on the left wing of the Yizhou Zhekexing Department.

The Zhekexing Department headed eastward, joined forces with Wang Shunchen's department, attacked Laishui, defeated Fanyang, and occupied Liufang Mountain and Da'an Mountain, completely controlling the southeast of Xijin Mansion.

Zhou Dong's troops traveled eastward from Wuqing, cleared all the camps from Zhigukou to Wuqing, and even drove away the residents in this area, smoothed the transportation channel from Zhigukou to the front line of the army, and ensured the smooth transportation of armaments by sea.

At the same time, the Zhou and Dong tribes took control of the entire canal along the north exit of the Hebei Road, and established a canal transportation line for the logistics supply of the army.

The central part of Zhongjian was stabilized in the Anci area of ​​Gu'an, and the Fanqi team was connected with Zhou Tong's and Wang Shunchen's troops on the east and west wings to completely complete the connection of the entire defense line.

So far, the Great Song Dynasty is not just a simple invasion of the army, but a real stability, occupying the entire line from Weizhou in the west to Zhigukou in the east, and all the south of this line.

For Zhao Xi’s personal conquest this time, more than a dozen horse-drawn carriages were not only important officials of the court, but also dozens of civil servants were hand-picked and put down along the way, preparing to prepare for the entire state government office in Hebei Province... There is no possibility of letting it out, and it is impossible to lose it again.

However, the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty has shrunk to Xijin Mansion as the center, extending to Liangxiang and Yuhe in the west, and to Huyin and Xianghe in the east.Hundreds of thousands of troops are concentrated around the entire Xijin Mansion.

It seems to be similar to when Xixia was destroyed in the past, but it is very different.

When Xixia was destroyed in the first place, it was really for encirclement and suppression.Around Xiping Mansion, all passages were occupied by Da Song's team.

But now, the only thing that is stable in Song Dynasty is the southern line.Beiliao's northern line, no matter whether it is going to Shangjing Road, Zhongjing Road or Fengsheng Prefecture, all passages still belong to Beiliao.

The channel is unimpeded, not only for reinforcements from Beiliao, but also the back route of Beiliao...you can escape at any time.

Now it is a situation where the two armies are confronting each other.For the Song Dynasty court, the heavy military deployment in the Northern Liao Dynasty was welcome.At this time, I was really worried that Beiliao would retreat without a fight, and thus escape into the grassland or desert, or even Liaodong.

If that was the case, Yan Yun would have been withdrawn, but the vital forces of the Northern Liao Dynasty would still be preserved, and they would still have greater power in the Song Dynasty, which would surely make the border north of Yanshan difficult to stabilize.

At this time, Beiliao actually sent an envoy, who claimed to be the special envoy of the Emperor of Beiliao...
"Daliao was established 50 years earlier than the Song Dynasty, and the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were already the capital of Daliao Prefecture before the Song Dynasty was established. The kings of the Song Dynasty have always used the Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures as an excuse to send troops to the north."

"My Daliao, based on the principle of friendship between the Northern and Southern Dynasties, did not send troops south to occupy the Central Plains after defeating the Song State many times, and maintained peace with the Song State for a hundred years."

"But now, Song Guo took advantage of the internal strife in Daliao to stabilize, and sent troops to the north. It is unjust! It is destroying the hard-won peace between Liao and Song. regardless of······"

Listening to the Liao envoy's impassioned statement, the emperors and ministers of the Song Dynasty turned a deaf ear to it and watched it like a monkey show.

"The Liao envoy didn't know something. The Great Song Dynasty sent troops not when the civil strife in Northern Liao had not subsided, but after it had subsided. In addition, my Great Song court had intended to send troops to help the Northern Liao quell the civil strife. It only needed to return Yan Yun. ..."

"The sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty!"

"Oh, the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun are all Khitan people? But they are governed according to the Khitan tribal regulations? The Khitan language is used? Isn't it? They are people from the Central Plains. My Central Plains people are under the bullying of the Khitans. My orthodox dynasty in the Central Plains is Why not bring back the people of the clan?"

No one in the current cabinet bothered to talk about it. It seems that Wen Yanbo really quarreled with the Liao envoy for the sake of his presence.

"My Daliao general Song speaks a lot of official words. Is it possible that they are all Han people? My Daliao courtiers also have many Han people. Is it possible that all of them need Da Song to ask for it?"

"The Liao envoy's words are correct. Those who speak my official language are the people of the Great Song Dynasty. As for the Han officials of the Liao court, how do you know that he is not willing to return?"

Bickering with Wen Yanbo, who had been trained in the Song Dynasty in the early years, the Liao envoy found the wrong opponent.

Wen Yanbo is still stuck in the full thinking of his early years. Like the current cabinet, he doesn't bother to bicker at all... he likes to talk about marching.

It has come to such a point, what is the use of talking nonsense?See you on the battlefield.

"Your Majesty the Emperor of Song Dynasty, His Majesty Daliao has something to say. Although Yanyun is originally the territory of Daliao, the Kingdom of Song will never forget it. His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao said that he can give the Kingdom of Song a chance..."

I guess I realized that bickering can't win, so I changed the subject.

"My Majesty Daliao believes that since the dispute between the Liao and Song Dynasties is the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, since it has entered the war today, then the world will be determined by a single battle. The Liao and Song Dynasties have lined up troops along the Gaoliang River to fight against each other. The outcome of the battle will determine the ownership of the Yanyun Sixteen States."

"If Song State wins, our Daliao will retreat to the north of Yanshan Mountain, and Yanyun will belong to Song State from then on. If Song State fails, Song State needs to hand over the complete sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Daliao, including the previous Clouds respond to the four states."

"No matter who wins or loses this battle, both sides signed an oath that must be abided by, similar to the Tanyuan Alliance, so as to ensure the peace between the Liao and Song Dynasties for another hundred years. Your Majesty the Emperor of Song, dare to fight?"

Don't look down on anyone.This is Zhao Xi's principle.

No, the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty also had many discerning people.

Now the posture of sending troops in the Song Dynasty is obviously no longer as simple as the simple Yanyun sixteen states, and the imperial court has indeed drawn up such a strategy.And the Northern Liao court also saw it.

After two years of civil war in the Northern Liao Dynasty, not only lost food, but also the prestige of the entire Northern Liao court.At this time, it's not just the soldiers of Beiliao who are irritable, but also the entire court... The court of Beiliao should be quite bored with war now.

But in the face of the Song Dynasty's attack, they had to resist, and this battle must be used to stabilize the prestige of the entire Northern Liao court.

At the same time, the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty also realized that in view of the current situation, the Northern Liao Dynasty could no longer fight a war of attrition with Song.Song State's strategy of steady advancement made Beiliao very uncomfortable...

"Go back and tell the King of the Northern Liao Dynasty that I am not King Zhou You, nor King Li of Chu. I don't know how to light beacon fires, nor will I play drums willfully. When a large army goes out, there must be a predetermined strategic goal. I don't think the kings of the two countries can use such a The way to determine the efforts of the soldiers."

"Yanyun sixteen prefectures, I, Song Dynasty, wanted to take them back, and I fought them down with the bravery of the soldiers. I will not bet on the lives of the soldiers."

"The Great Song Dynasty is different from the Northern Liao Dynasty. The soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty all belong to the dynasty and do not belong to any power. As for the Northern Liao Dynasty... this is the end of my story, let's let it go."

These words are harsh, but I don’t know if this envoy will really be brought to the Northern Liao Dynasty Hall...
