This plan must first be in the coldest weather.
Only when it is cold can I use this shoe to slide to the city of Youzhou. I am very picky about time, but in this kind of weather, there is another flaw that I cannot build a fortress.
Some Liao troops were stationed near Youzhou, and after Han Dezang and Xiao Yanyan were governed by them, the people of Youzhou loved them more. The Song Dynasty's shallow attack tactics greatly damaged the national strength of the Liao Kingdom, but aggravated the hatred of some Youzhou people towards the Song Dynasty.
There were Liao soldiers inside and rebelling people, and the fortress defense outside could not be built in time, so they could occupy it but could not be occupied.
When I first guessed, I thought that the Liao Kingdom would focus on the Song Dynasty and the center of the army would be placed behind the mountain, whether it was behind the mountain or gathered in Zhongjing, not far from Youzhou. However, in order to confuse the enemy, the main force of the Song army was indeed placed in Hedong, not Hebei. Before the Feihu Pass was opened, Hedong's troops could not arrive in Youzhou in time, and Hebei was insufficient. Once the Liao army successfully gathered, Youzhou would definitely fail again.
Even now, the Song Dynasty could not determine that Xiao Yanyan gathered the main force and used troops in Liaodong.
Although there is Zhang Qixian in Hebei, Zhang Qixian is not Li Jilong. He dares to take responsibility, but he cannot judge it and dares not change the plan. After all, this is also very satisfying.
Li Jilong and Song Jiu vaguely guessed something, but it was difficult to confirm. Time was too tight and they dared not gamble, and it was getting worse and worse in Sichuan.
Until now, the battle has been less lost and more wins, and the gains are huge. However, so many troops have been mobilized for two or three months. Every day is made of gold and silver. Things are getting bigger and bigger in Sichuan. Song Jiu then continued to abide by the generals to act according to the original plan.
But it is hard to say. If you rush to change your plan and forcefully occupy Youzhou, the treasury will be used up. The beacon fire in Sichuan will be bigger and bigger, which may add to the scattered consequences, and there may be a crushing defeat...
As night comes, the city of Youzhou is still in chaos.
Jing Si followed the plan and captured soldiers, nobles, and officials in the city.
Youzhou is the largest city in the Liao Kingdom. Especially after Xiao Yanyan and Han Derang came to power, they attached great importance to Youzhou. There were many nobles living in the city, and of course, they also accumulated huge wealth.
While capturing the nobles, it is the process of plundering wealth.
Especially in the imperial city of Youzhou, Jing Si even ordered the soldiers to remove all the precious woods.
Then Jing Si began to order that the people of the whole city immediately prepared to leave Youzhou.
This was not the first time the Song Dynasty did this.
Almost all the people of Youzhou know it.
The previous order was issued, and there was a wailing sound from the city behind.
But soon I saw a sea of ​​fire where the imperial city was. I closed my mouth together.
What's going to look at this?
The Yanyun area was a Tang Dynasty system, that is, a division system.
The so-called tribe is a tenant who is dependent on the master's family, but it has less freedom than the tenant in the Song Dynasty, but it is a little looser than the slave rights of slavery. Don't say that the people yearn for life in the Song Dynasty. This is not an era of developed transportation. Yelang would think that he is very big in Yelang, and the truth is the same.
If the master's family is good, the master will follow the master's words and will follow the master's ideas.
Therefore, the decision was in the hands of the master's family. However, the Liao Kingdom implemented some policies to win over the various major households in Youyun, so these master's families were not so yearning for the Song Dynasty. This was also the reason why the Liao Kingdom invaded the south several times, and the Han soldiers and generals were mostly caused by Yanyun's Han generals. When the Song Dynasty attacked Youzhou City, Han Derang issued an order and the people in the city enthusiastically participated in the war.
Don’t talk about the national view, it’s too advanced.
Therefore, the people in the city can be divided into several ways. One is that the master's family is not good. They live in poverty. There are also some Tang Dynasty scholar-guan family who value orthodox. After hearing this, these people like it very much and actively cooperate with the Song army. They clean up the precious and meticulous family and prepare to withdraw to the Song Dynasty in time.
Another type is the beneficiary of the Liao Dynasty's governance. This time, Jing Si arrested some relatives. They were angry and even hoped that a strange army would appear from outside the border to repel the Song army again.
Another type is that life is not very good and can be lived well. They are not willing to continue living in Youzhou and have doubts about the future life of the Song Dynasty. They do not object or cooperate.
It doesn't matter.
If you want to stay, just stay.
Jing Si looked at the noisy in the city and stood on the top of the city and looked into the distance.
In fact, he also had some ideas at this time, how good it would be to take over Youzhou.
However, he faithfully continued to implement the original plan, waiting for Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng's troops.
As soon as Youzhou City was broken, a small number of Liao troops in Xincheng did not dare to respond to the battle and fled north in a panic. Yang Yanzhao and Wei Neng quickly arrived at the city of Youzhou. Jing Si gathered all the transportation tools in the city and only carried the precious ones. It was impossible to transport the wealth slowly like Bashu like in more than ten years before transporting the wealth, pulling these precious goods onto various vehicles, then putting down gunpowder, and blowing down all the city walls. Exit the people, who are willing to leave, lead them to the south, and the Song Dynasty provides resettlement, and those who are unwilling to leave are better than those who are burned, killed, looted, and at least they will not kill ordinary people innocently. This was the repeated strict orders by Song Jiu. Those who are not rebels will be killed or killed or “jianyin”!
More than 100,000 people were all expelled from the city, and Yang Yanzhao whispered again: "Send someone to search in the city."
Jing Si thought about it and agreed.
At this time, time was very tight, with countless people, snowy and slow journeys. It was nearly two hundred miles away from the winding and twists and turns of Song Dynasty, which might take six or seven days.
Maybe the Liao army rushed over from outside the pass.
But the Song army still searched the city first, which also reflected the difference between the Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom. Although it was as brutal, the Song army still insisted on the core of benevolence and righteousness.
A soldier was left in the city, and the rest escorted the people and their wealth and slowly moved south. Some people fled, but no one chased after them. However, most of them were confused and followed the Song army step by step and embarked on an unknown journey.
A larger fire light rose behind him, and this thousand-year-old ancient city, the most prosperous city in Khitan, turned into ashes in the blink of an eye.
This is Song Jiu’s goal.
I won't occupy it anymore, but the Liao Kingdom can't even think about it, just burn it out with a fire.
If you lose this important city, Youzhou City, what else can the Liao Kingdom use to defend the Youji area? Perhaps it would take much effort to restore the grand occasion of Youzhou in the Liao Kingdom to rebuild it?
Countless soldiers and civilians went south and grew stronger from time to time. The city walls of Zhuozhou were destroyed and the people were expelled. The walls of Wuqing, Gu'an, Anci, Yongqing, and the people were expelled. Even Yuping's stepmother and his family were expelled to the Song Dynasty. Then the walls of Xincheng were destroyed and the people joined the army to move south.
Yelu Xizhen was stupid in Yunzhou, Xiao Yanyan was stupid, and Han Derang was stupid, especially the Han family, where almost most of the tribes became prisoners of the Song Dynasty.
Then the second strategic goal is slowly being realized.
Yang Yanzhao returned to Yizhou again. This time he really attacked the city. The army and the people in the rear were gone. The Yizhou defenders had the intention to fight again and fled again. Yang Ye and the other two slowly attacked from Lingqiu soldiers to Feihu Pass, attacked from north to south, and recaptured Feihu Pass again. But this time it was not Feihu Pass, but Zijingling. There was a fight with Liao. Yizhou was still handed over to Liao, but it was also a bunch of ruins. The Song army wanted the Zijingling that was originally occupied by Liao.
First, we used gunpowder to create many rocks and built simple city defense with permafrost. It is equivalent to when spring is in full bloom, a majestic pass, Zijing Pass will be repaired here. The bottle-shaped village on the former Fanzhi border of the Song and Liao dynasties will be expanded and the Pingxing Pass will be built. It is so famous that it is also very important at this time. It is the place where the yeast leading to Lingqiu.
Strengthen the city of Lingqiu County, build Futuyu and Shimenxia Pass on the main roads of Lingqiu County and Feihu Pass. Then set up Daoma Pass in Changshan to form a reliance.
Behind them are Hedong Fanzhi and Hebei Dingzhou, which are not enclaves. Moreover, this is a mountainous area, which is easy to defend but difficult to attack. As long as several passes are deployed, they can be blocked without many troops. However, after this arc is opened, Hebei and Hedong generals form a whole on the front line, and they are condescending, and can attack at any time against the front and back of the Liao Kingdom Mountains. Therefore, Tian Chong advances and retreats, but Pan Mei sends troops to advance. If he defeats, he will not say who is wrong or who is right. The geographical location of this area is too important.
Yang Ye and his other two led 40,000 troops, but in fact they not only opened up Feihu Pass Road, but mainly occupied and increased Hebei's defense.
Forty thousand soldiers hurriedly built several temporary checkpoints, and Song Jiu withdrew with his troops, so he didn't have to stay in Shuozhou anymore. Each of them returned to their forts and forts to defend against the Liao Kingdom, and then reinforced 30,000 soldiers from the future Pingxingguan Road of Fanzhi.
Then he looked at the movements of the Liao Kingdom with Zhang Qixian.
After Xiao Yanyan received the news, she was furious. Han Derang couldn't persuade her. She ignored the ice and snow and wanted to lead the army south. However, as soon as she set off, news came from the huge family in the Song Dynasty. The city burned and the people kidnapped it. Even if she wanted to chase her, it was too late in this bad weather.
If you want to take revenge, you can go south to take revenge at any time.
Instead, he lost his composure and could not pacify Liaodong. He went south because of the exhaustion of the three armies and was easily taken advantage of by the Song army. In addition, Yanyun had half become a deserted area, and the Liao Kingdom might immediately collapse. Xiao Yanyan calmed down and vented his anger on the Jurchens.
The Liao Kingdom was filled with grief and anger, and even Shi Pu could not do it. Although the fierce Jurchens performed very well and repeatedly damaged the Liao army, they retreated step by step under the fierce counterattack of Liao Kingdom. Before Tokyo occupied it, they retreated to Shenzhou. Shenzhou continued to fight fiercely and was defeated to Yinzhou. The Liao Kingdom sent troops to Yinzhou to snipe. Wu Xuanming had to hold a major battle in Yinzhou.
In one battle, more than 20,000 people were killed or injured. However, the Liao Kingdom suffered even heavier losses. Wu Xuanming fled to Huanglong Mansion in a panic. Liao Kingdom sent troops from Jinshan to stop Dai at Huanglong Mansion. Wu Xuanming was defeated again, and Yan Po was also shot dead in this battle.
Wu Xuanming fled to Wura City again.
Xiao Yanyan personally led the army to Wura City. After several bloody battles, under the attack of the Liao Kingdom at no cost, Wu Xuanming was unable to fight and fled to the lower reaches of the Huntong River. Yelu Xiuge was angry and chased them all the way. Wu Xuanming was forced to escape on the sea boat with Shi Pu. It happened that spring was coming, and he fled to the Song Dynasty along the wind. Sun Quanzhao was also very miserable. Fortunately, he escaped quickly, otherwise they would not even have time to board the boat under the pursuit of the Liao army with red eyes. They escaped from the sky in time by luck.
The Bohai Kingdom perished.
However, because the battle of the Liao Kingdom was very cruel, the Jurchen tribes often rebelled for several years later, further weakening the strength of the Liao Kingdom.
However, Liaodong has never caused fatal harm.
But since then, the Liao Kingdom is no longer the Liao Kingdom before.
Therefore, Zhao Kuangyi received the frequent good news, and received news that the main army of Liao Kingdom rushed into the depths of Liaodong, and suffered heavy losses in several battles. He changed his mind and sent someone to ask Song Jiu with quick foot delivery. This is a great opportunity. Can Yan Yun be taken back?
In fact, Zhao Kuangyi felt quite regretful. It would be great if he had planned to change it, then at least Youzhou and Jizhou were taken down. Now Youzhou is burned into ruins and the weather is cold. It is not easy to occupy it if it is a good time to rebuild the city.
Song Jiu was also concluding with Li Jilong what would have happened if Youzhou was occupied?
The two agreed with one view, destroying Youzhou. The Liao army happened to be in Liaodong and there was no time to return. But it was different to want to occupy Youzhou City. Youzhou was the largest prosperous city in Liao Kingdom, the largest economic center, the highest population density area, the grain base, and the commercial base. Then Xiao Yanyan would definitely move his troops back regardless of everything. At that time, Feihu Pass had not been taken down, and Hedong's troops could not be rescued in time, so they would be defended. It is very likely that with the response of the people in the city, they would cooperate with the inside and outside, and the Song army might be defeated.
However, the two also had differences.
That is, Song Jiu has been suppressing Li Jilong and preventing him from sending troops to Yunzhou. If Yelu Xizhen is defeated again, the crisis of the entire Liao Kingdom will be even worse. Then this wind blowing from the south will make sense.
Song Jiu asked Li Jilong two questions, and also responded to the two questions mentioned in Zhao Kuangyi's memorial.
How much money is left in the first treasury and internal treasury? If there were no Youzhou harvest this time, would the court still have any funds for rewards and pensions?
It's empty.
