Second Northern Expedition

In this way, the actual number is 18 states. There is another Yizhou: In 946, Li Yin, the governor of Yizhou in the Later Jin Dynasty, surrendered to Liao with Yizhou. Later, Chai Rong conquered Yizhou in the north, and then belonged to the Song Dynasty. However, in 989 after the failure of Yongxi's northern expedition, the Liao army captured Yizhou. In this way, there were 19 states. In addition, Jingzhou was newly established by the Liao Kingdom in Jizhou. Therefore, the total number should be 0. Because Ying and Mozhou had long been recovered, it has nothing to do with this history. Therefore, in the future, this book will create a new term - Yanyun 18 states to represent the land that is specifically disputed by the Jin, Song and Liao Kingdoms today. That is, the 16 states recorded in the history of Liao, plus Yi and Jingzhou, it is 18.

Tong Guan once again created public opinion and promoted the Song Dynasty's determination to attack, the civilian affairs and the bright prospects after surrender to the enemy-occupied areas of Youzhou. He firmly believed that this time would definitely be effective! Nothing else, now that the crisis is coming, as long as you are not stupid, you will definitely know what is better. The facts proved that he was right. After sending the letter of surrender, he was simply following the crowd...

On the 15th, Gao Feng, the governor of Yizhou, surrendered. On the 15th, Guo Yaoshi, the left-behind Zhuozhou, surrendered. Gao Feng was fine, but Guo Yaoshi was extraordinary. He was from Bohai, and his army was composed of Bohai people. These people lost their homes first when the Jurchens attacked, and were full of resentment. Yelu Yanxi took this eye on this and named them "Resentful Army" Yelu Chun to try his luck. In order to seek the verbal lottery, they changed their name to "Eternal Victory Army" and the Eternal Victory Army was the best combat power in the Northern Liao army! Guo Yaoshi was a Bohai foreigner, and he became the leader of a state with just the strength of 8,000 people. The impact can be imagined... Now he took the initiative to surrender, and the Song army was immediately relieved. The Northern Liao was over, and it was decided! After reaching this conclusion, Tong Guan ordered a second Northern Expedition!

Although the Song Dynasty failed the first Northern Expedition, due to the civil strife in the Northern Liao Dynasty, the 18 states of Yanyun had already obtained the state out of thin air, which was quite favorable. The news came back to Kaifeng, and the monarchs of the Northern Song Dynasty were very happy. On October 5, Song Huizong personally issued an order: to use the 9 states in front of the mountain as Yanshan Prefecture Road and the 9 states behind the mountain as Yunzhong Prefecture Road. Although the 18 states of Yanyun only truly obtained the state at this time, the official position had been sealed. For example, Cai You is the boss of Yanshan Prefecture Road! When you succeed in the Northern Expedition, you can officially take office!

What was Concubine Xiao doing at this time? Haha! She also wanted to surrender! She sent someone to send a very professional surrender letter, saying that as long as the Song Dynasty recognized the dominance of Northern Liao in the Yanyun area, it would be fine when the Song Dynasty was vassal state from then on. More than 4 months ago, Tong Guan persuaded Yelu Chun to surrender during the first Northern Expedition, but unfortunately he was rejected. At this time, the old story was re-reported, and Empress Dowager Xiao hoped that it would still work...

It would be strange if it works! In fact, both sides changed at this time. Tong Guan was putting in trouble, thinking about cutting off the roots and cutting down the Khitans. Empress Dowager Xiao was also very amazing. Her surrender book was actually in duplicate. The Song and Jin Dynasties received it. She was playing with one servant and two masters? Haha! What she thought was just to delay some time...

So this scene happened: Han Fang came to offer a letter of surrender, and wrote to the emperor to submit a letter of surrender, "The Jurchens erode all countries. If the Great Liao Dynasty does not exist, they will be worried about the Southern Dynasty. If the lips and teeth are cold, they must be worried." Tong Guan, Cai You ignored him. Han Fang cried, "The Liao and Song dynasties have been together for a hundred years, and the affidavits are there. Can you deceive the country, but can you deceive the heavens alone?"

On the 8th, under the leadership of Liu Yanqing, 100,000 Western Army broke out of Xiongzhou and crossed Baigou, the border river of Song and Liao, and Guo Yaoshi's resentful army was guided, rushing towards Youzhou City excitedly! No one was nervous about this expedition. It was like an outing, without distinguishing the front and back troops, and there must be a central army, but ordinary people couldn't find it. More than 100,000 people hugged together and marched forward in a big fan. Who knows where the big leader is?

This situation made Guo Yaoshi feel a little unsure and couldn't help but remind Liu Yanqing, "This will lead to sneak attacks! No matter what, the Liao army is still very good at fighting." As a result, Liu Yanqing sneered. The Liao army is now huddled in Youzhou City, and it is too late to conduct public security. What should we use to sneak attack? Who dares to sneak attack? Even if we move forward with confidence, as long as we arrive at Youzhou City, it will be time to succeed!

As a result, they walked to the vicinity of Liangxiang. Later, according to some people, they really saw Youzhou City vaguely, but they didn't see what it looked like. They were really attacked!

Xiao Gan really left Youzhou City and ambushed the Song army halfway. The battle situation was a bit chaotic, and he caught the Western Army off guard. To be honest, the scene was a bit embarrassing, but the loss was not great. The combat effectiveness of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty was still there, and they defeated Xiao Gan... After the war, they found that the real loss was in the heart of the head coach Liu Yanqing. He immediately ordered to stop moving forward and set up camp on the spot! Stay in the strong and firm!

He won't leave, he must observe carefully and figure out what the current situation of the Northern Liao Kingdom is like! He remembers very clearly why he came here, picking peaches and picking them ready-made. If the peaches are not ripe yet, what's the point of him coming over? Depressed, Guo Yaoshi quietly approached him and solemnly congratulated him on "Congratulations to the Grandmaster, your wealth has arrived."

What did you say? Liu Yanqing was puzzled. Didn’t Guo Yaoshi come to suck the fire by intentionally? But Comrade Xiao Guo said sincerely: Youzhou City has limited troops. Now Xiao Gan personally went to the expedition and brought at least 10,000 people, so the city would be empty. Now you are here and tied up Xiao Gan here. I will take 5,000 troops to catch a small road and directly attack Youzhou City! You will send another Western army to support you. With the strength of the Western army, you will definitely be able to capture Youzhou City! At that time, we will combine inside and outside to completely wipe out Xiao Gan’s troops! Wouldn’t it be that the military achievements are not achieved at all?

Liu Yanqing flew into the clouds of happiness, that's OK? Xiao Gan's sneak attack actually stole the Liu family's great opportunity. In this case, who will send to help? It's said that the wealth will not flow into the fields of outsiders. The first thing he thought of was his dear son Liu Guangshi. After pacifying Fang La, Liu Yanei had been promoted to the Observation Envoy, the commander of the Fuyan Road Army, and a senior military officer. If he took the lead in attacking Youzhou City this time, such contributions would be enough to make him famous in history and rise to the top... Very good, that's it!

In order to win, on the 4th, Liu Yanqing played all the trump cards in his hand. General Gao Shixuan and ten thousand enemies Yang Keshi all sent to Guo Yaoshi, leading 6,000 surprise soldiers to set off at night, crossed the Lugou Bridge around the small road, and attacked Youzhou City at night!

Marching overnight, they arrived at Yingchun Gate in Youzhou when the morning light was dim on the 5th. The facts proved that this was really beyond the expectations of the Northern Liao Dynasty. They did not expect that the Song army had just failed and dared to intersperse on a large scale, avoided Xiao Gan's troops, and suddenly appeared outside the Youzhou city gate!

First, there was an hostility accident, second, the Western Army was fierce, and third, there was no secret in the eyes of Guo Yaoshi. They launched a quick attack, and before the Liao army assembled, they conquered Yingchun Gate and entered Youzhou City!

This is something that has never happened before. The Han army attacked Youzhou City! Guo Yaoshi and others quickly occupied all the key points in the city and approached Empress Dowager Xiao’s palace! At this time, as long as you catch this woman, it is equivalent to conquering the last psychological defense line to conquer the Northern Liao... The Northern Liao will surely perish, and Youzhou will surely win!

The problem was concentrated on a woman. The pharmacists Guo thought about it and made the most reasonable combination. While attacking a key area in Youzhou City, they wrote a letter to Concubine Xiao De…

Thinking about Concubine Xiao De sent a surrender a few days ago. Now that the enemy has attacked the enemy, it is only one layer of inner city wall that has been cut to the side. What will happen to her? She cried and begged for mercy? Haha, it must be like this! So the notice of surrender was sent out, and Guo Yaoshi and others were fighting and waiting. Then they had a big trouble...

Xiao Gan suddenly appeared, and the man actually rushed back to Youzhou City with 000 people and started a street battle with the Western Army!

This is the reaction of Empress Xiao. Not only did she not be intimidated when she received the threat message, she sent people to ask Xiao Gan in Liangxiang for help. This is a woman with a genitals. Even if the knife almost hits her neck, she chose to stand up! After checking the history of the Liao Kingdom, anyone named Empress Xiao was always a strong man... Xiao Gan's sudden return to the aid disrupted the Western Army's formation. Xiao Gan's subordinates' eyes were red. This is their home. Now the Han people have entered their homes!

Judging from their normal combat effectiveness, they are far from being the opponent of the Western Army of the Song Dynasty. Moreover, there are also 10,000 enemies including Yang Keshi in the Western Army. At the same time, Xiao Gan's number was twice as many. But at this time, he was desperate and the Western Army was beaten backwards by them, and rushed from the center of the city to Yingchun Gate...

Guo Yaoshi and others felt great pressure, but at the same time they were secretly happy. Xiao Gan came back well! From the overall situation, this is the real defeat of the Liao people. As long as they can hold on for a while, the Song army will control the overall situation... Xiao Gan fought against the 100,000 Western Army in Liangxiang with 100,000 people, and was unable to support it. Now, in order to deal with the sneak attack, 000 people were drawn back to the rescue, and Liangxiang's strength was immediately weak. Liu Yanqing commanded the entire army to attack, and it is likely to be broken in one blow! In Youzhou City, Xiao Gan seemed to have the upper hand, but in fact he suddenly came and made the Western Army at a loss. According to the original plan, Liu Guangshi would soon lead the new force to support him. At that time, the inside and outside were in harmony, and Xiao Gan would definitely fall with Youzhou City!

The great achievements of the future will be settled here! In late October 2011, the fate of the Song, Liao and Jin dynasties was in the hands of the Master Liu, and they will determine the direction of history. They only need to act according to the plan. Even if Liu Yanqing does not move, as long as Liu Guangshi can lead his army to respond, everything will come naturally! Destiny is waiting for the Song Dynasty at the corner not far ahead! Light, glory, and the loss of the national guardian walls of 186 are all waiting in the place within reach, as long as Liu Guangshi appears!

But in Liu Guangshi's life, what he didn't like to do the most was to appear. His habit of movement was to disappear. Youzhou City was not the place where he played the disappearance for the first time, and October 2011 was not the first time he mastered the fate of the entire nation! Who knows why people like him always mastered such important things, but he mastered them! Then he gave up...

On that day, Liu Guangshi did not appear in Youzhou City, and he and the agreed new forces were not sure where they were going. The 6,000 Song Western Army was trapped in Youzhou City. The nominal enemy was 000 Liao troops, more than half of them. But can you believe that a historical city as big as Youzhou would be silent when facing a disaster, allowing thousands of enemies to kill at will? The whole city was full of enemies! The Western Army retreated step by step, and later they found that they were trapped in the city! The enemy was in front and the city gate was behind, but the city gate was closed and heavily guarded. They attacked several times and could not defeat them at all!

What to do? They had to start the idea of ​​the city wall. They tied the ropes to the top of the city and went down one by one. Only a few hundred people were left left, and all of them were gone. They escaped on foot and returned to the camp from the small path...

The sneak attack failed, and the soldiers were not counted. Even the general Gao Shixuan died in Youzhou City! But this is not the end of the world!

After this battle, the Song army just did not take advantage. Compared with the Northern Liao Dynasty, there were many people who died in Xiao Gan's army! They ran back and forth and became exhausted, while the Liu Yanqing camp was always stable, and they maintained an absolute advantage in terms of combat power and materials!

Liu Yanqing himself knew this, so he dared to stand near Liangxiang and wait for news. Xiao Gan also knew that this made him very desperate. He was very capable of fighting, but he only had less than 10,000 troops in full battle. He always fought with one or ten times. If he had to win too many times, he would have to win... In despair, he calmed down and thought about it carefully, and he found the flaws of the Song army!

It has been twice. The Song army had a chance to win, so why did they lose? The problem lies with the main general! The first time was Tong Guan's lard, and he must retreat, and he could not decide to fight. It was equivalent to him playing the Western Army to death. The second time was purely **********'s nonsensical performance show. Liu's father marched like a traveler. He was attacked on the big plain. Liu's son disappeared and watched the great opportunity be lost...

Very good! Xiao Gan had a very absurd, almost boring plan...

In order to implement this plan, he took the risk again! He led people out of Youzhou City. This was equivalent to throwing away the defense of Youzhou City again. He quietly bypassed the Song army camp and appeared on the main transportation route between the Song and Liao countries. Then he waited. Such a small amount of troops had been waiting on the vast and boundless plain until the Song army's grain transport team appeared. During this period, he was very lucky that no one noticed them. It was obvious that Liu Yanqing locked the patrol team in the camp and closed the door and slept...

In such a dangerous area, Xiao Gan rushed out and robbed the Song army's grain transport team. Before leaving, he "accidentally" revealed the military situation - the Liao army gathered troops twice that of the Song army and formed an encirclement around Liangxiang. He just waited for the fire to be raised at night and then siege them together and wiped out the Song army!

The military information quickly reached Liu Yanqing's ears, and Commander Liu was shocked at the first time! Oh my God! The cunning Khitans! He actually dug such a big pit for him silently! Will he besieged tonight? Is the crisis imminent? What should I do? He went around in circles and thought of something until nightfall...

Actually, it’s so simple! It’s so simple that it’s close to boring absurdity! The Northern Liao Empire now has 7 states left in Nanjing Road and 6 states left in Xijing Road. How many troops can Yanyun 1 state be drawn? Even the main city Youzhou was attacked, Xiao Gan could only draw 000 people back to the rescue in person, so how could he turn out another 00,000 Liao troops? If this is true, will he still sit on the sidelines of the Song army? He had already blocked the river in Baigou!

Liu Yanqing could not have imagined that he was completely frightened by his own safety. The food supply was cut off and the military situation suddenly made him panic. When this night, when the fire suddenly appeared under the night, he seemed to hear the sound of horse hooves when the Liao cavalry charged in all directions...

Retreat, withdraw immediately! Liu Yanqing issued a retreat order with the most severe military order! The entire army was ordered to throw away everything and run away quickly. All the strategic war preparation materials that he had not had time to bring were burned on the spot! The fire surged into the sky that night, most of which were ordered by the people of the Song Dynasty themselves. The fire burned not only tents, equipment, etc., but all the assets accumulated by the Song Dynasty since the Xining reform! The most important of them was that the military rations "had been stored since Xifeng."

Liu Yanqing couldn't control these things. In his heart, his life was the most important thing! He ran away desperately, driving the soldiers to run with him. After running for a night, he finally arrived at Baigou. At this point, he breathed a sigh of relief. It seemed that the danger had finally escaped. There was a border ahead, and it would be safe to cross the river? But at this moment, he discovered a greater danger - the Liao army arrived!

He didn't hear the sound of horse hooves last night. When the fire suddenly started, there was a sound of horse hooves. Xiao Gan really led his army to rush towards them. However, the strength was very different. Xiao Gan didn't take action directly. He followed the Song army behind him until the Song army ran all night and was exhausted. He launched an attack!
