Back to the Song Dynasty as a tyrant

The dependent relationship brought about by commercial ties will gradually make neighboring countries rely on the powerful Song Dynasty under the strong military guarantee, and further promote the integration of culture and economy.

This is Zhao Ning's strategic purpose.

Did the Mongols really conquer the world?

The world is only moaning briefly under the iron heel of Mongolia, and the Mongols did not leave Mongolian culture and Mongolian characters in the conquering country.

Conquest by force is always just a flash in the pan.

On the basis of the guarantee of force, more powerful cultural transformation, economic penetration, and financial integration are the means to truly and thoroughly domesticate a country.

At least Zhao Ning thinks so.

Therefore, Yue Fei took Zhao Ning's willpower to the northwest.

By the way, Zhao Ning's friendly letter appeared in front of Yelu Dashi.

Yelu Dashi has his limitations, he can't quickly deduce Zhao Ning's real purpose, he can only suspect that Zhao Guan's family is really scheming.

The second letter was from Yue Fei. Yue Fei wrote a letter to Yelu Dashi in the name of the supreme commander of the Song Dynasty in the Western Regions.

The tone of this letter is much more blunt, and even the intention of killing between the lines is undisguised.

Yelu Dashi was still polite to Zhang Ke, and Yelu Dashi answered every doubt Zhang Ke had.

But let people go?

No talk!

Half a month later, it was already June of the 16th year of Jingkang, and Zhang Ke left Husi Wuer angrily.

Before leaving, he openly scolded Yelu Dashi as a despicable and shameless villain, and also scolded Xiao Orila and other high-level Khitan officials.

Cursing or scolding, the Khitan people still politely sent him out of Husi Ordu City, and gave him the green light along the way, not allowing anyone to hurt the Song envoy.

This method is obviously unique to the Shang Kingdom of the Central Plains.

After returning to Beiting City, after Zhang Ke reported all the situation, Yue Fei came to a conclusion: the Khitan people wanted to wait for us to travel long distances to find them.

Chapter 1364

"I am very interested in this letter from the official Zhao's family, but the official Zhao's promise is too much, and I don't believe it for a while."

Yelu Dashi said to the left and right.

"Official Zhao's family is also the rightful lord of the Southern Dynasty, so they won't just talk about it." Yelu Yanshan said.

The Khitan people still know the Great Song Dynasty, after all, the Liao Kingdom and the Great Song Dynasty have been brotherly countries for so many years.

These people all came from Yanjing with Yelu Dashi, and they all experienced the era when Song and Liao coexisted.

In their hearts, although Zhao Guanjia is shameless, as the emperor, he speaks well.

"Do you know why we signed the Chanyuan alliance with the Southern Dynasty?" Yelu Dashi asked suddenly.

Xiao Wuli said: "Signing the Chanyuan alliance is beneficial to both parties."

Yelu Dashi shook his head and said, "If our dynasty can continue to go south, how can Empress Dowager Xiao agree to sign an alliance with the Song people?"

"The reason why there is the Chanyuan Alliance is because after a long war, Daliao and Song Dynasty found that no one can completely defeat the other party, so they signed the Chanyuan Alliance for the long-term livelihood of the two countries."

"I don't want to fight with the Song people." Yelu Dashi said bluntly, "But the power of the Song people has reached Gaochang, and the soldiers are threatening to the north of the Tianshan Mountains, but the Zhao official family still tells me that he only wants to do business. Even if I believe him, But the Song Army is stationed in Beiting City, does the Song Army think that they will definitely defeat us?"

Xiao Wuli said: "Your Majesty means that as long as the Song Army thinks they can defeat us, they will definitely send troops?"

"That's right, people's behavior is guided by ideas. Sanjar thinks that he can defeat us by uniting the multinational army. I have written to him many times, telling him not to embarrass the Geluolu people. He listened to my advice He still crossed the Amu Darya, thinking that the Turks were invincible until they were defeated by us."

Everyone nodded involuntarily.

Yelu Dashi continued: "The end of the war is not based on an agreement of the Chanyuan Alliance, but on the balance of Song and Liao's countless battles over the past few decades. For the same reason, now the Song people want to do business with us. , to really do business with the Song people is not a promise from the Song people, nor a letter from the Zhao official family, but to let the Song people know clearly from top to bottom that they cannot beat us, they can only do business with us buy and sell."

He looked around and said, "So the battle with the Song people must be fought!"

Everyone was convinced by Yelu Dashi's words, and said in unison: "Your Majesty is wise!"

"Your Majesty, let the minister lead one hundred thousand troops to take Beiting City!" Xiao Wuli said as he stepped out.

Xiao Orila is the most powerful general in Yelu Dashi. He is not only a general who leads the army, but also has excellent administrative ability in governing the country. He is the number two figure in Xiliao.

Xiao Orila has a strong personality, and his attitude towards Song Jun is also strong.

"No, we agreed to wait for Song Jun to come over and let Song Jun come to Husi Ordu, and we will prepare some good gifts for them!" Yelu Dashi said, "Just pay close attention to Beiting City!"

"Yes!"

After discussing with the ministers, Yelu Dashi walked back to his bedroom.

He looked at the eastern sky, but there was a hint of sadness and sadness in those deep eyes.

"Cough cough cough..."

Yelu Dashi coughed violently.

"Your Majesty." A beautiful woman walked over from the long corridor and said eagerly, "Hurry up and announce the imperial doctor."

"I'm fine, don't panic." Yelu Dashi's face was a little pale, but there was a smile on his face, "It's just a cough, let me sit here for a while."

Yelu Dashi sits in the back garden. It is not like a royal garden, but it is full of the antique flavor of the Central Plains Dynasty.

Yelu Dashi sat in the attic, looking at the eastern sky in a trance.

"Your Majesty..." Xiao Ta Buyan called out with concern.

"I don't know when I can go back and take a look, back to the place where I was born and raised, back to the streets of Yanjing when I was a boy."

"Your Majesty, after we have rectified, we will send troops to the east, and we will definitely be able to drive away the gold thieves and take back our homeland."

Yelu Dashi coughed again, and this time he couldn't stop until he coughed up blood.

"Your Majesty! Quick! Imperial Physician! Imperial Physician..."

"I'm fine, I'm fine..."

On the first day of the seventh lunar month, Yue Fei commanded [-] elite troops, and Li Yanxian commanded [-] troops, a total of [-] troops. They set off from Beiting City and pointed their swords at Husi Ordu, the hinterland of the Liao Kingdom.

This is a long expedition.

It is related to the Song Dynasty's management of the Western Regions.

As Yelu Dashi said, both sides are strong and strong. The Song army has just wiped out Gaochang, and the soldiers are in full swing, and the Khitan people can't sleep.

And Xiliao had just defeated the Seljuk Empire and took all the Seven Rivers Basin and the middle of the river into its hands. Whether it was the Uighurs or the Naimans, they all hoped that the Liao Kingdom could avenge themselves.

The Song people only wanted to dig fire and open the Silk Road in Gaochang to do business, but the Liao people thought that the Song people were too powerful.

In this way, the chain of suspicion was formed, and the war happened because of it.

If you can't compete with the Khitan people, the top Song army will not be able to sleep.

Peace has never been negotiated by civil servants.

Beiting is [-] miles away from Husi Ordu City. This time Yue Fei sent out not only cavalry, but also a considerable number of infantry regiments and firearms battalions.

Under the flat terrain of the grassland, the Song army marched on the 25th, and on July 26th, they crossed the Yilie River, the westernmost vein of the Tianshan Mountains, and entered the core area of ​​​​the Liao Kingdom.

In the past few days, Yelu Dashi has received the latest marching movements of the Song army every day.

Along the way, Yue Fei also ordered people to capture Uyghurs, Geluolus, and Turks, and obtained a wealth of information from these populations.

Beginning on July 28, the Song army encountered the first elite Liao army.

This Liao army was still commanded by Erbusi, and it came very quickly, adopting surprise tactics.

When Yue Fei received the exact information, the Liao army had already advanced like a storm.

Erbus attacked the Song Army's left flank precisely, and used the cavalry all the way as the forward, entangled the Song Army's cavalry, and then used the main force to attack the Song Army's infantry flank.

Judging from the speed of the Liao army's actions and the rhythm of the charge, the Liao army's field strength is very sturdy.

The Liao army who followed Yelu Dashi to conquer the east and west for many years was many times stronger than the Liao army in the era of Emperor Tianzuo.

No wonder the [-] coalition forces of Seljuk were nearly wiped out by the [-] elite Yelu Dashi.

It is said that in the official history, it was Erbus who then conquered Huacizimo.

I saw the main force of the Liao army rolling toward the flanks of the Song army infantry like mercury pouring down the ground.

But obviously the Liao army didn't know much about the current Song army. When they attacked the Song army's main infantry formation, they were hit by the Song army's artillery, and the assault was quickly broken.

Chapter 1365 Yue Fei vs. Yelu Dashi (Second Change)

The artillery battalion posed a great deterrent to the charge of the cavalry of the Liao army. In a short time, Erbusi had to choose to turn around and evacuate temporarily.

Before the reinforcements of the Song Army cavalry arrived, the main force of the Liao Army had quickly withdrawn from the main battlefield.

The rest of the fighting also slowly dissipated within half an hour.

At noon on July 29, the Song Army was less than two hundred miles away from the Chu River.

Husi Ordu is south of the Chu River.

The Song army arrived in the core area of ​​Liao.

On July [-], Yue Fei received the latest information that a large number of cavalry appeared near the Yilie River.

According to reports from the Turks captured by Yue Fei, it was the cavalry of the Ge Luolu people.

The Geluolu people mainly live at the confluence of the Yilie River (Ili River), the Yefeng River and the westernmost section of the Tianshan Mountains. They belong to Yelu Dashi.

"Yue Shuai, let me personally lead a troop to meet these Ge Luolu people." Li Yanxian said.

"How powerful is this Ge Luolu man?" Yue Fei asked.

"Better than the top, more than the bottom." Li Yanxian said, "The Ge Luolu people are the most famous weeds in the Western Regions. If you give them a hard lesson, they will immediately fall for us."

"I was worried that it wasn't just Ge Luolu people who came here." Yue Fei wondered.

"Pengju is worried. The people who come here are from Ge Luolu in name, but the Khitan elites are actually here?" Li Yanxian said.

"Khitan, Turkic, and Uighur cavalry, I am very worried." Yue Fei said cautiously, "Yelü Dashi's use of troops is no small matter. When we crossed the Yilie River before, we did not find Ge Luolu people. Now Ge Luolu people suddenly appeared. It seems that Yelu Dashi wants us to divide our troops."

Li Yanxian nodded and said, "That makes sense, but if we don't divide our forces, we will be flanked by the other side."

Yue Fei pondered for a moment, then said: "Naturally divide the troops, but how to divide the troops is the key."

"Send scouts to spy more." Li Yanxian said, "If I were Yelu Dashi, I might not arrange the main force in the north, pretending to be Ge Luolu people, and paralyzing us."

The two sides entered the stage of a battle of wits and courage. Since entering the core area of ​​Xiliao, the string of war has been tightened.

As long as either of the two sides makes a mistake, it may lead to a complete loss.

Both Yue Fei and Li Yanxian were very cautious.

They were not worried that the Beiting in the rear would be raided, because Liu Kai was still in Gaochang and could meet Beiting at any time.

On the first day of August, the Song Army was only a hundred miles away from Husi Ordu.

There are both pastures and fertile fields in this area.

But it is already August, and the crops in the good fields have already been harvested, and the pastures have also been cleaned up probably because of the arrival of the war.

Yue Fei couldn't help but sighed, "No wonder Yelu Dashi decided to set the capital in this area. This area can not only control Gaochang in the east, but also deter the river in the west, and the pastures and farmlands alternate."

"It's better to talk about why His Majesty must march west. If you really win here, you can control the Silk Road and keep Gaochang!" Li Yanxian also sighed.

To win Gaochang, you must win Beiting, and if you win Beiting, it will threaten the grasslands along the Tianshan Mountains.

Although it is two thousand miles from Beiting to Husi Or'er, the terrain is flat, the grassland is fertile, and the pastures are thousands of miles away.

Nomads can shuttle between them at any time.

Therefore, Yelu Dashi must be Husiwuer, and Gaochang Bi Lege surrendered immediately, because there is no obstacle in sending troops from Husiwuer east to Beiting. hit.

Just like the Song Army and the Liao Army now.

At noon, Yue Fei was eating when he heard that an envoy from the Liao army had come.

"Bring me to see the handsome."

Not long after, Chuang Guer came.

"Dear Song Army General, I am Zhuang Gu'er, the envoy of His Majesty the God Bless Emperor."

Yue Fei was quite surprised. The person in front of him should be Turkic, but he spoke fluent Chinese with an accent from the Yanyun area.

"What's the matter with the messenger?" Yue Fei asked.

"Your Majesty God Bless asked me to ask you, why did you send troops here?"
