Physician of the Song Dynasty: Zhang Kai and Li Qingzhao have a private life-long contract

Yanyun Sixteen States!

Emperor Yelu Hongji of the Liao Dynasty stood on the city wall of Nanjing, Liao Kingdom, looking southward!

"People in the south still enjoy the blessings, with a mild climate and rich products, unlike me in the Liao Dynasty who have lived in the bitter cold northern land for generations." Yelu Hongji couldn't help but sigh as he felt the warm wind blowing in his face.

Nanjing in the Liao Dynasty was the area around Beijing in later generations. The climate was already very warm in late spring. At noon, when the sun was shining, there were even faint traces of sweat.

Yelu Yanxi complimented on the side: "Grandpa, don't be impatient. This battle is a joint effort between Liao and Xia. If the Song Dynasty understands the situation, it will obediently pay the annual coins. If not, then don't blame the two countries for dividing the Song Dynasty. By then, I, Daliao, can fully enjoy the power of the Song Dynasty!"

Yelu Hongji couldn't help but feel excited when he heard the words, but he quickly calmed down and said: "The time to destroy the Song Dynasty is not yet mature. Now the Song Dynasty has strong soldiers and horses, and there are thunder thunders to defend the city. Once the war breaks out, I am afraid that the Liao Dynasty will also suffer a tragic victory, but Don’t forget, none of the Central Plains dynasties have ever conquered the grasslands, and only the grassland tribes can replace Daliao.”

Although Yelu Hongji is old, he is also very shrewd. On the grassland, strength is respected. Now that the Liao Dynasty is strong, only then can he command the grassland. Once the Liao Kingdom suffers heavy losses, I am afraid that the surrendered small tribes will be like a pack of wolves. Generally, Daliao was torn to pieces.

Today's Yelu Hongji's biggest calculation is to let the Song Dynasty not only continue to cooperate with the Silk Road, but also to continue to transport Sui coins. While continuing to weaken the Song Dynasty, it can also allow the Liao Kingdom to accumulate strength.

"The Imperial Grandfather is wise!"

Yelu Yanxi complimented.

The grandfather and grandson looked south in the distance, and their hearts suddenly aroused ambition.

Suddenly, Yelu Zhangnu hurriedly came to report: "Your Majesty, please report to the emperor's grandson, the letter of credence came from the Song Dynasty, accusing the Liao Kingdom of betraying the Chanyuan Alliance and ruining a hundred years of peace. If the Liao Kingdom withdraws its troops, the Great Song Dynasty will be destroyed." Song can let bygones be bygones..."

Yelu Yanxi couldn't help but sneered when he heard this: "Song people are still as tough as ever. Now that Liao and Xia are jointly sending troops, so what if they betrayed the Chanyuan Alliance?"

Yelu Hongji waved his hand and said: "The Liao Kingdom is a big country in the world, so how can it take the initiative to break the agreement? The reason why the Liao Dynasty sent troops was because the Song people betrayed the agreement between the two countries on the Silk Road and opened the Maritime Silk Road privately."

"What the imperial grandfather said is true!" Yelu Yanxi agreed.

Yelv Zhangnu looked strange and said: "Your Majesty does not know something. The envoy of the Song Dynasty also said that the Liao Kingdom benefited more than one million yuan from the Silk Road. There is no conflict of interest in the Song Dynasty's expedition to Nanyang and the Silk Road. If the Liao Kingdom took the initiative If the Chanyuan Alliance is torn apart, the Song Kingdom will..."

"What does the Song Dynasty want?" Yelu Hongji said with a serious expression.

Yelu Zhangnu lowered his head and reported: "If the Liao Kingdom takes the initiative to send troops, regardless of victory or defeat in this battle, there will no longer be peace between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty will have a cold war with the Liao Kingdom just like it did with Xixia, interrupting the market and Silk Road cooperation. !”

"cold war!"

Yelu Hongji's eyes suddenly froze.

Naturally, they all saw the Song Dynasty's strategy to deal with Xixia. Once the market and exchanges between the two countries were interrupted, the fragile Xixia economy was immediately on the verge of collapse. The Liao Kingdom was powerful, although it was stronger than Xixia, but many materials needed to be traded from the Song Dynasty. Not to mention the Silk Road, which generates millions of dollars in revenue every year.

Once the Song Dynasty continued its cold war with the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Kingdom would suffer heavy losses. On the contrary, the Liao Kingdom had the Maritime Silk Road, and its interests were not greatly damaged.

"The Song Dynasty dares to threaten the Liao Dynasty in this way. Sun, please send troops to attack the Song Dynasty immediately. The Song Dynasty will definitely surrender!" Yelu Yanxi said angrily.

He did not expect that Song State not only rejected Liao State's conditions, but also threatened Liao State in turn.

Yelu Hongji's heart flashed with anger. He did not expect Song State's actions to be so tough.

"Don't be anxious, there will be monsters when things go wrong. Come and inquire about the military situation of the Song Dynasty immediately!" Yelu Hongji sneered.

At that moment, all the secret spies of the Liao Kingdom came out, and soon the Song army's deployment came back.

"The five armies of the Song Dynasty are unified into one! Privy Councilor Zeng Bu is the commander-in-chief!" Yelu Hongji couldn't help but was shocked. He didn't expect that the young emperor of the Song Dynasty would be so courageous. He actually gave up the traditional Song Dynasty strategy of dividing troops into five armies and chose the five armies. Oneness.

"Shaking thunder!"

"Iron Buddha, Kaizi Ma!"

"Three hundred thousand troops!"

Although the Xixia offensive was more fierce, everyone knew that the Liao Kingdom had the strongest military strength. In order to defend the Liao Kingdom, the Song Dynasty mobilized a total of 300,000 troops to defend the Liao Kingdom.

When receiving the military report from the Song Army, Yelu Hongji looked solemn.

"Isn't it possible that Tiefu Tu and Guaizima just destroyed Qingtang's cavalry?" Yelu Yanxi frowned.

"That's right!" Yelu Hongji took a deep breath and said, "The Jingsai Army of the Song Dynasty only had three thousand people back then, but now the Iron Buddha Temple of the Song Dynasty has as many as tens of thousands of people. This is probably the strength of the Song Dynasty."

"We in Daliao also have Tielin troops, which are enough to be proud of the world!" Yelu Yanxi said confidently.

At that time, the Xixia Iron Harriers, the Jingsai Army of the Song Dynasty, and the Tielin Army of the Liao State were all famous armored cavalry. Now, the Song Dynasty has established the Ten Thousand Cavalry Iron Pagoda on the basis of the Jingsai Army, which can be said to have doubled its strength.

Yelu Hongji frowned and said: "The Liao Dynasty only had more than ten thousand Tielin troops, and most of the cold-forged armor they wore came as tribute from Xixia. Once the battle damage was lost, it was extremely difficult to replace it. However, the Song Dynasty cracked the cold-forged armor of Xixia, which was enough for a large number of Making cold-forged armor, the Song Dynasty could be defeated, but the Liao Kingdom could not be defeated."

Among the Three Kingdoms, Song and Xia all controlled the technology of cold forged armor, but only the most powerful Liao Kingdom did not control cold forged armor.

Furthermore, the Song Dynasty still had strong cities to defend, and with the Thunder of Thunder and an army of 300,000 to guard it, the Liao Kingdom might not have much chance of winning this battle.

"What does the imperial grandfather mean?" Yelu Yanxi said angrily.

Yelu Hongji said coldly: "Why are you panicking? The initiative in this battle lies with the Liao Dynasty. If the Liao Kingdom does not go to war, the Song Dynasty will definitely not dare to take the initiative. Our army only needs to contain most of the Song army here. Once Xixia If the Xia army wins on the border, the Song Dynasty will definitely surrender."

Yelu Hongji was old. Although he agreed to send troops, he had no real determination to fight the Song army with all his strength. From the beginning to the end, his purpose was to make the Song Dynasty surrender and continue to weaken the Song Dynasty.

Yelu Yanxi cooperated: "Although the Liao Kingdom only needs to contain the Song army, it cannot just station troops in Nanjing. It also asks the emperor's grandfather to station troops on the border of the Song Dynasty. If the loopholes of the Song Dynasty can be found, the Liao Kingdom will immediately attack and completely destroy them." If the Song Dynasty fails to find an opportunity, it can also make the Song Dynasty have soldiers, which will not only contain the Song Dynasty's military strength, but also allow the people of the Song Dynasty to continue to run on the Royal Bank!"

Yelu Yanxi's plan was not without evil. In this way, the Song Dynasty would be full of soldiers, which would not only make the Song army exhausted and consume its money and food, but also destroy the newly emerging Royal Bank.

"Can!"

Yelu Hongji looked at Yelu Yanxi and thought it was time and time to let him take control of the military.

"Thank you, Grandfather Emperor!"

Yelu Yanxi said with great joy.

At present, all the elite Liao troops were deployed and stationed at the border of Liao and Song Dynasties.

The Song army suddenly felt as if it was facing a formidable enemy, and immediately scouted out the Liao army's movements one after another. Major cities continued to build defenses day and night.

"The Liao army is approaching!"

Following the actions of the Liao army, news quickly spread throughout the Song Dynasty. Soon, the news that Song and Liao were about to go to war was flying all over the sky.

Sometimes, there were even three surprises in one day, and news of the Song army's defeat even spread, making the people panic.
