I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 954 Yelu Hongji's Bottomless Line
For Song Dynasty, Gao Yongchang was a real scabies disease, no one took him seriously, not to mention the front line, even in Bianliang, even the Honglu Temple did not assign officials to receive it, except to hand over the share to the Honglu Temple with the cheek The so-called credentials have nothing to say.

It's not that there is nothing to say, when the front line of the Song Dynasty was about to send troops to attack the Dading Mansion, there was intelligence that Gao Yongchang was ashamed of the Song Dynasty's disdain, and actually asked to be attached to the Northern Liao Dynasty again.Unfortunately, Yelu Hongji also ignored him.

It's like two adults fighting, a baby comes over, screaming...

The two adults, Da Song and Beiliao, were finally about to fight, and they couldn't care less about dealing with Gao Yongchang.

Beiliao learned a lesson this time, and did not plan to attack Da Song on the plain, but chose to defend the city... After all, the attacking side at this time is Da Song.

I thought this was a good way to target the Song Dynasty chariots, but unfortunately, such a strategy abandoned all the advantages of the Northern Liao cavalry.

Let the cavalry who are used to galloping horses defend the city... I don't know what Yelu Hongji thinks.

Of course, it is not that there are no infantry in Beiliao, but the treatment of infantry in Beiliao is not comparable to that of cavalry.

This time, Zhao Xi didn't even leave the Xijin Mansion, and would continue to complete the battle to destroy the Northern Liao Dynasty, completely letting go and handing it over to the generals.

Gao Jingting, Zhong Yi, Zhe Keshi, and Cao Lin from the old guard camp; Zhe Keshi, Zhong Jianzhong, Wang Shunchen, and Zhou Tong from the Guards.Anyone who pulls out is the coach along the way.

Zhao Xi didn't even listen to Wen Yanbo's suggestion of choosing a civil servant commander, and simply issued a task: Let Beiliao perish, and don't ask for anything else.

The various armies who don't know how to cooperate with each other, and the generals who don't know how to coordinate the operations of the various armies have no way out in the Song Dynasty.

They are all generals trained by Zhao Xi, and Zhao Xi trusts them.

"Beiliao is solid and clear!"

"As far as the current situation in Beiliao is concerned, is there a difference between hard walls and clear fields?"

Indeed, after two years of civil war and a war in the Northern Liao Dynasty, there is really nothing in the entire territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty that can make the Song Dynasty look up to it.

Even the army can't eat enough, let alone the common people?
It's hard to say whether Yelu Hongji wanted to increase the cannon fodder for defending the city, or to protect his people in Beiliao.

"I don't know what Yelu Hongji thinks. Bei'an Prefecture has left empty cities, and the Luan River is also unguarded. Even Zezhou, Yuzhou, and Songzhou, which guard Dading Mansion, are all empty cities."

No one expected that the army would advance so fast, almost without any obstacles.

In the original Northern Liao territory, there were no rail carriages responsible for transporting the army. However, this time the marching of the Song Dynasty was indeed full of infantry, chariots, and cavalry. The march of more than 30 troops was all carried by horses.

This needs to be thanked to the Crazy Horse Formation in Beiliao. Whether it was artillery fire or chariots, they did not kill all the horses whose tails were lit.

A war horse with a bald tail is also a war horse, and a war horse that is about to be scrapped can also travel.

Therefore, almost all of the entire 30 army has horses and cavalry, and there are absolutely three cavalry for one person.

Rich!Richer than ever before.Even though Beiliao is already quite poor, war horses can still meet the needs of the Song army.

As for other things, including food and daily necessities, no one in the Song Dynasty paid attention to them.In their eyes, even the things in Xijin Mansion in Beiliao are considered tattered.

Qiu did nothing wrong. In fact, the real reason was that none of these cities in Beiliao could match the rewards from the imperial court.

Even the original Dangxiang people and Tubo people are glad that they belong to the soldiers of the Song Dynasty, and they are not comparable to those who worked for Xixia.

including fighting.

"With so many people concentrated in Dading Mansion, doesn't Yelu Hongji consider the provision? Governance will also be quite difficult."

The important ministers accompanying the army were all discussing, and they didn't understand Yelu Hongji's actions.It seems that such an approach is even more detrimental to the continued existence of the Northern Liao court.

"Actually, I can understand Yelu Hongji's actions."

"How should I put it, by concentrating the surrounding people in Dading Mansion, all the supplies can be managed in a unified manner, and unified distribution can be implemented during wartime, whether it is based on needs or in accordance with the war, in short, under the current situation, It can solve the problem of material shortage to a certain extent.”

To put it bluntly, there is steel used on the blade, using the wartime situation as an excuse, and even saying that entering the city to receive protection is an excuse to gather the people around the entire Dading Mansion, and at the same time gather the only remaining food. ·····No matter what method is used, looting or confiscation can temporarily alleviate the food shortage in the army.

It's harsh, but it's a way.

"Officials, if this happens, it will inevitably cause more chaos. No one will voluntarily hand over the supplies that should belong to them, and this will lose the hearts of the people."

Wang Anshi's position was correct, but he couldn't consider Yelu Hongji's other thoughts.

"Unified deployment is Yelu Hongji's first goal. Another point is that he can use part of the rewards for joining the army during wartime while confiscating the supplies of the people. Let's take it from the people and use it from the people... ·hehe······"

Zhao Xi felt that this was very likely to be the case.

"Yelu Hongji's escape has disappointed some forces in Khitan. And Xiao Dabuye's behavior has given all parties in Khitan another choice. The distance between Dading Mansion and Xijin Mansion cannot be compared with that of Ketun City. Compared. At this time, the farther away from my Great Song Dynasty, the safer it is for the Khitan people."

"My judgment is that Yelu Hongji did not gather many soldiers in Dading Mansion. How to solve this problem? There is only one measure of all the people being soldiers. Gather the people around Dading Mansion and use supplies as a threat , or for rewards, to turn people into soldiers..."

The so-called string-controlling people in the Beiliao refers to young adults who are over 15 years old and no more than 50 years old.When Yelu Hongji couldn't gather enough warriors to defend the city in Dading Mansion, he absolutely didn't mind gathering women, children, old and weak together.

He thought it was up to one person to defend the city.

"There is also a very important point. Putting these women, children, old and weak who are not young and strong are placed on the ground of the city. One of them wants to use the holy way of my Song Dynasty to enlighten them, because the compassion that is born will be there when they attack the city. hesitate."

"The other one is that when my Da Song doesn't care about the lives of these women, children, old and weak, it can increase the hatred of the entire Khitan ethnic group towards my Da Song, so as to arouse some hatred for my Da Song, and make the entire Khitan ethnic group, including all parties in the Northern Liao Dynasty The power and the enemy are united, so that in the near future, my Song Dynasty will not be able to easily control this land."

It has to be admitted that Yelu Hongji has the wisdom of an emperor, and he can be regarded as a hero.It may also be that he thinks that his wisdom is higher than that of a cadre of officials, so he dared to allow the existence of powerful officials in Beiliao. This is why he led to the decline of Beiliao.

This is a bit similar to Jiajing in the later generation... just thinking about it.

"Official..."

According to the official analysis, Beiliao's current practice may really be for such a purpose.

The Great Song Dynasty, whether it was a civil servant or a general, really couldn't do anything to kill those unarmed people or those non-combatants.

This is a cultural attribute at the root and cannot be changed.

"I'm just guessing, and it may not be true. Let's decide after the siege battle begins."

Hatred, from the beginning of this great war, there has been hatred between Beiliao and Song Dynasty, which is inevitable.

What Zhao Xi is really worried about is that the massacre of irregular combatants will make the entire Song court rebel... No one wants to leave an eternal infamy.

Just when Dading Mansion in Beiliao was under heavy siege, Xiao Dai, who was far away in Kedun City, welcomed a guest at this time... In fact, it is right to say that it is the host.

The emperor's grandson of His Majesty Daliao, Yelu Aguo arrived in Ketun City.

"Your Highness wants to persuade me to wait eastward to assemble? If so, Your Highness should save it..."

When welcoming Yelu Aguo into the official residence, Xiao Dai was not tactful at all, he was very straightforward, and directly blocked what Yelu Aguo might have to say.

"Marshal Xiao, Xiao Wang's trip is not to persuade Marshal Xiao to go east. Grandpa Huang has a letter, please read it before discussing matters."

Yelu Yaguo was very polite, he didn't put on airs of the grandson of the emperor at all, and he was quite respectful to Xiao Dai.Not to mention the current situation, but to say that Yelu Aguo had also received Xiao Daibuye's kindness in the past.

Back then, if it wasn't for Xiao Da's insistence, he might have been murdered by Yelu Yixin a few years ago.

Besides, for a long time to come, Yelu Aguo will need Xiao Daibuye's support.

"No dear brother, Hong Ji would like to thank you here. If the Song Dynasty sent troops this time, Daliao will not withdraw if it is not destroyed. I still underestimated it at the beginning. Now, the decline is irreversible... Daliao is here I lost my hand, I am a sinner of the Khitan clan."

"Brother Noye, after two years of fighting, the veterans are exhausted. It is no longer possible for the warriors of the Daliao to fight against the army of the Song Dynasty. I believe that my brother can also see this situation. For the sake of Daliao, I have to advance Leaving the battlefield, I only hope that I can make the last effort for Daliao and Khitan, and leave a way for Daliao's inheritance..."

"No, dear brother, as the king of Daliao, I will not die for a day, and Song may not stop fighting for a day, so I can't escape. But I am the emperor of Daliao, and I will never surrender to Song. I will only fight to the death on the battlefield."

"No dear brother, I am now in Dading to summon the remnants of the Northern Liao soldiers, and I know that this cannot be done, but this is my responsibility, and I must fight for the Daliao to the death. The soldiers summoned can attract the firepower of the Song State, so that the Song State will not point the sword at Ketun City."

"Based on this, I will try my best to hold back the main soldiers of the Song Kingdom, entrust them to the Zhongjing Road, and entrust them to the Dading Mansion, in exchange for Brother Buye's management of the Northwest."

"Northwest, that may be the last hope of our Daliao and Khitan clans. I hope that my dear brother will not be blinded by my life and death, hatred will guide the wrong behavior. No dear brother, I hope that my dear brother can be in the northwest Gain momentum, before the Central Plains Dynasty declines, I don’t want my virtuous brother to have the intention of competing in the Central Plains. This is an eternal example, teach future generations!”

"The emperor's grandson can travel far away, and the funeral is entrusted to Bu Ye's younger brother. So farewell!"

That's what happened, that's what it means.

His Majesty the Emperor of Daliao, why was he not so polite to him?Be polite now.

There is no guilt for beheading the Jiedu Envoy of Collapsing Ridge, nor is there any guilt for evacuating His Majesty the Emperor...
After all, it was still the royal family. From the moment Yelua Guo arrived in Ketun City, it meant that Ketun City would soon be respected by Yelua Guo.

The moment when His Majesty Beiliao died in battle was the moment when Yelu Aguo ascended the throne.Myself... that's all.

That's the way it is.

Although Xiao Dai didn't say that his [-] Urudos were loyal to him, but the nearly [-] soldiers in Duncheng were bound to be loyal to the Daliao Emperor.After all, the current Daliao is still in existence...

"This commander obeys His Majesty's will, and vows to protect His Highness from any worries to the death!"

"The final general will follow His Majesty's will and swear to protect His Majesty from any worries!"

But the oath in Duncheng did not fly to Dading, and the court of Song Dynasty did not know that Beiliao already had a backup court at this time.

At this time, the front line of the Song Dynasty had already surrounded Dading Mansion, but looking at the old and weak women and children on the walls of Dading Mansion, they didn't know what to do.

Yelu Hongji was indeed a hero without a bottom line, or at this point, Yelu Hongji no longer considered any bottom line.

"A hundred cannons are fired at once, enough to knock down the city wall at once, and then the army can just rush in!"

It is the habit of the Song Dynasty to discuss matters before the war.

Beiliao's defense that doesn't care about human nature made it impossible for the various armies of the Song Dynasty to directly break through the city defense.Therefore, the pre-war discussion was outside the city of Dadingfu.

Wang Shunchen is a war lunatic, still clamoring for bombardment of the city!
"Shunchen, why don't you lead the headquarters to do this? The brothers will definitely give you the first contribution!"

"That's right, Brother Shunchen has no problem doing this. As long as you bombard the city wall, we will never rush into the first team with you."

Does Wang Shunchen dare?He is not stupid, he is passionate, but he is not reckless, otherwise the court would not let him lead the army.just talking...
"I've been yelled at! If you don't want to be infamous forever, if you don't want your ancestral graves to be dug up, you will be forced to attack the city! Once we do this, not to mention the historians of later generations, even the civil servants of the current dynasty will be able to kill us. Sent to the eighteenth floor of hell."

"Tell you, if you really do this, the officials will not be able to protect you!"

Cao Lin belongs to a family, and the family cares about fame.

Cao Lin is also from the old guard battalion, Wang Shunchen and the others are all disciples of the old guard battalion this year.

Cao Lin is still the queen mother's nephew, a relative of the emperor.Although this status is not very useful in the army of the Song Dynasty, it still has a certain prestige at critical times.

"The officials delegated all the combat powers to me this time, but I never thought that they would have to ask the court for advice in the end!"

There is no way, as for Wang Shunchen's bombardment of hundreds of gates, it is said that the imperial court, even the civil servants and supervisors of various armies, will not agree.

How to fight such a siege battle ultimately has to be decided by the court.
