Northern Song Dynasty Revitalization Strategy

Chapter 667 I, I Don't Want to Lose!
"The old ancestor told me in private. I don't know why." Sun Li shook his head and said, "I wish Admiral Wei a bright future in advance."

Serving as the admiral of either party and nesting in the official's house, although the admiral's future is promising, for Sun Li, it is more comfortable to be on the official's side.

They are destined to have no offspring, so naturally they have no thoughts, and no matter how many things they leave behind, they cannot be passed on.

Wei Chengen finally drank the wine comfortably, and he really set off for Liaodong to report on his work.

Wei Chengen, who let go of the burden in his heart, realized that he didn't seem to have written a special letter on people, fields, and Tieshan in Korea.

While driving in the car, he hurriedly finished the draft, and when he arrived at the front line of Liaoyang without stopping for two days, he learned that the official family had gone to the city of Liaoyang for inspection.

The inner city wall of Liaoyang City has been taken down, and it is condescending. Naturally, the cavalry of the Kingdom of Jin do not have any advantage. The current Liaoyang City is only a layer of window paper away from being taken down.

The purpose of Zhao Huan's personal visit to Liaoyang city was naturally not to cause trouble for Yue Fei.

He sat cross-legged on the wall of the outer city. The inner city, the urn city and the outer city wall were all soldiers of the Song Dynasty, so there was no need to worry about his safety.

Of course, he followed Yue Fei's advice and did not go to the inner city wall.

Liaoyang City was built on the mountainside, and the wind was so strong that Zhao Huan's clothes rattled. On the desks of the generals in front of him, there were wine and vegetables, but no one touched their chopsticks.

The officials obviously have something to say.

From the outer city, Zhao Huan could see the panic on the faces of the people and soldiers in the inner city. They built simple fortifications with bricks, stones and branches on the roadside.

But these fortifications, whether in the eyes of Song people or in the eyes of Jin people, are actually irrelevant.

Because the decisive battle chariot of the Song Dynasty will crush all of these, and then occupy the entire Liaoyang City.

Zhao Huan looked at the panic of the people in the inner city and said, "Emperor Taizong was sitting on the head of Yanjing City like this back then, and the situation I am sitting on the head of Liaoyang City today is very similar."

"Emperor Taizong had already arrived near Xizhimen in Yanjing, where the Gaoliang River was."

Zhao Huan smiled and told the generals about the past, but no one dared to answer the words. This is the emperor's family matter. The battle of the Gaoliang River was also a shame of the Song Dynasty, and no one mentioned it on weekdays.

Zhao Huan looked at Yue Fei's hesitant appearance, shook his head with a smile and said: "When Liu Jiyuan surrendered in the Later Han Dynasty, Emperor Taizong burned Jinyang City to raise funds to build a new Taiyuan City, he did not reward the soldiers, and went directly from Zhenzhou to the north. , Attack Datong Mansion and Yanjing."

"On May 29, we crossed Weiwei Taihang and arrived at Zhengding. The east and west lines were all in place."

"On June [-], all the arsenals, armaments, food and grass from the east and west roads of Hebei and the east and west roads of Jingdong arrived at the front line. On that day, they crossed the Juma River and entered the Liao territory, and the attack officially began."

"On that day, Liu Yu, governor of Liao and Yizhou, and Liu Houde, judge of Zhuozhou, successively offered Yizhou and Zhuozhou to surrender to the Song army."

"Yanyun has sixteen prefectures, and Yanjing Road has a total of nine prefectures, and the two prefectures fall in one day."

"On June 23, the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty arrived at Shahe. Under a hasty encounter, our soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty fought bravely. The vanguard army and the Liao army fought together. Defeated the Liao army, cut five thousand troops, and surrendered more than five hundred enemies."

"At this time, the privy envoy Cao Bin offered a strategy to fake the Liao army with green flags, and accommodate the defeated army to lure the enemy, capture and kill the Liao army, and then cut thousands of them. Our Song army has a great momentum."

"On June 25, Emperor Taizong led his troops to Yanjing. In front of the big city surrounded by 36 miles. The commander of Bohai, Da Lanhan, led 2 people in the city to surrender to our Song Dynasty. The situation is very good."

"From June 25th to June [-]th, the Song army took advantage of the night to climb the city, and the west wall of Yanjing was broken. Emperor Taizong and the generals also sat on the top of the city like me, drinking with the generals."

Zhao Huan said what he wanted to say slowly and forcefully, while all the generals sat in front of the desk without saying a word.

"Isn't it very similar to fighting Liaoyang now? The Khitans who guarded the four walls of Liaoyang City surrendered, and our Song army climbed the west gate to the top of the city, and took the outer city, urn city, and inner city naturally." Zhao Huan pointed Said the terrified people in the inner city.

"The officials don't have to worry, this time it won't be the same as it was 100 years ago." Han Shizhong couldn't help shouting loudly.

Yue Fei was the closest to Han Shizhong, who was in the first place according to his seat. He moved his foot and kicked Han Shizhong at a strange angle.

Han Shizhong stared at Yue Fei, his eyes seemed to say what are you kicking me for.

Yue Fei pretended to tidy up his clothes, ignoring Han Shizhong's glare.

Sitting high, Zhao Huan naturally had a panoramic view of all this, and said with a big smile, "Relax, generals, today you are not going to stage a drink to release your military power!"

"On July [-]st, Privy Envoy Cao Bin, Heyang Jiedu Envoy Cui Yanjin, and Internal Envoy Jiang Shoujun successfully captured the Inner City, and started the battle for the Inner City with Yelu Xiezhen in the city."

"On July [-]th, Yelusha and Yeluxiu's reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom arrived. Emperor Taizong personally led the army and defeated Yelusha outside the Gaoliang River. After pursuing for more than ten miles, thousands of Liao army corpses were left behind. "

"Until now, no one thinks that the Song army will lose."

"But in the evening, brother Yeluxiu suddenly led his army into the Song army camp from a small path, and rushed straight to the camp with torches in hand. Brother Yeluxiu gathered Yelusha's remnant soldiers and fought the Song army for several rounds. The flow is like a injection, and Youli will never retreat."

"Emperor Taizong separated from his generals and went south in a hurry to Zhuozhou, where he stopped the donkey cart and waited and watched the battle."

"In the Battle of Gaoliang River, Emperor Taizong personally led an army of 16, with only more than [-] casualties, and the camp was completely defeated. The big victory turned into a big defeat. Life is difficult, because this big victory has stabilized the power."

Zhao Huan said with a smile: "Generals, what I said is clearly recorded in the official history. Where do you think you lost in the battle of Gaoliang River?"

Han Shizhong glanced at Yue Fei, and forcibly suppressed his words. The generals were unwilling to say more, but it was self-evident what was wrong with the whole Northern Expedition.

"As for me, I have done everything that should be done. The rewards will be issued once in each battle. I will personally supervise the officials. General Yue will personally go to each battalion to distribute the rewards to ensure that the rewards will reach the hands of the soldiers."

"Although there were some disturbances in the matter of grain and grass, it ended with the lives of King Su's family and King Jing being detained in Dali Temple."

"The siege operation sent the Thunderbolt and the Shenwei Zhenyuan Cannon. The power is obvious to all. Not only the Jinren, but even I was dizzy from the bombardment."

"I said so much, but I actually want to tell you generals that I have the heart to win and I don't want to repeat the same mistakes."

"I don't want to lose!"

Facing the imminent victory, Zhao Huan said not to panic, that was a lie.

When Song Taizong personally went to the Northern Expedition, before the evening of July [-]th, who saw the possibility of failure?

But it was defeated in such a muddle-headed manner, more than 1 people died, and 20 troops collapsed, leading to the Eastern Front battlefield and being implicated.

Zhao Huan was very unwilling to see the moment when he was defeated, which meant that he could no longer do whatever he wanted like now, and had to compromise with reality. At that time, it would be foolish to want to take Liaoyang again.

Zhao Huan, he really didn't want to lose.

　Thanks to "another novice" for the reward, thank you for your support.
