Xin Xingzong's tens of thousands of troops were killed and defeated, and it was not entirely Xin Xingzong's incompetence. On the Yanzhao Plain, but the Liao soldiers galloped in the paradise, the Great Song cavalry was scarce, without actual combat, it was not the opponent of the Liao cavalry, plus the Liao cavalry was familiar with the plain confrontation, the Song army naturally had no chance of winning. Xin Xingzong originally sent 5,000 elite soldiers to the rear of the palace, but Han was cunning, after he left a few thousand people to entangle with the 5,000 people, all the cavalry ignored the cavalry behind the palace, and stared at most of the men and horses of Xin Xingzong to cover up.

Heavy rain poured down, cavalry bursts, and the Song army was defeated and fled in a hurry. Xin Xingzong did not flee to Fan Village, but went to Xiongzhou City, and now the Liao people are attacking in a big way, Fan Village cannot be defended, and only the nearest Xiongzhou City can stop the footsteps of Liao cavalry. Along the way, full of corpses, the Song soldiers suffered countless casualties, and after all the hardships, they finally withdrew to Xiongzhou City, perhaps because they were afraid that Song Erlang would launch a desperate counterattack according to the city wall, and Liao Qi stopped the horse twenty miles west of Xiongzhou. After Xin Xingzong got a chance to breathe, he immediately asked people to count the casualties of the army, and when he got the results, Xin Xingzong didn't come up in one breath, his body shook, and he almost fainted.

Of the more than 40,000 soldiers, 18,000 were lost in the first battle, almost half of the casualties, such a large casualty, if you don't feel distressed, it is pure deception. However, as the commander of the first army, even if he is distressed, he must be strong, and soon, Xin Xingzong gathered his mood and asked people to send a letter to Xiongzhou City, but the people of the Xiongzhou Xuanfu Division ordered not to open the city gate, and let Xin Xingzong's headquarters be stationed on the spot against the city wall. Xuanfu Si was not allowed to enter the city, and Xin Xingzong could understand a little, because he was afraid that the Liao cavalry would take advantage of the chaos to attack the city when he borrowed it into the city. Outside the city of Xiongzhou, a large army was stationed. At the end of the day. After determining that the Liao soldiers had no intention of attacking the city. Xuanfu Sicai ordered Xin Xingzong's army to enter the city.

On the same day, when Han Panqian was attacking Xiongzhou and other places, Yeluchun also personally led an army of 35,000 to cross the Baiyu Bridge and launched a crazy attack on the Eastern Route Army stationed in Qingzhou. Ye Luchun was very cunning, he did not attack Qingzhou City, but concentrated all his forces to launch a tidal attack on the Diaoyutai Village south of Qingzhou City. Braving the heavy rain, 20,000 Liao soldiers wiped out all 3,000 Song soldiers in Diaoyutai Village in just one hour. Then the Liao soldiers went straight to Yuanqiao Town in the east.

The fall of Diaoyutai Village and Yuanqiao Town, so that the seed master road felt a huge pressure, the heavy rain outside did not stop, the seed master road wrapped in a cloak and sat in the house with his head down, the house burned a charcoal basin, several generals sat respectfully on both sides, each with a dignified face. At this time, everyone was flustered, and only the master had to make an idea. Diaoyutai Village and Yuanqiao Town are the southern gateways of Cheongju, and the grain and grass have to pass through here, if you take a detour. Not only is it a long way, it's also unsafe. The situation in Hebei is very special today. Cangzhou Hejian Mansion and other places are occupied by Tianhu thieves, and the grain and grass pass through these two places, and the danger factor can be imagined.

The Seed Master Dao has been on the battlefield for decades, and his mind is definitely very incomparable. Yeluchun does not fight Qingzhou, but occupies Diaoyutai Village, this is a ruthless move on the bright side, garrisoning Diaoyutai Village, even if it chokes the throat of tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou, if you don't recapture Diaoyutai Village, you will be able to strangle tens of thousands of troops in Qingzhou one day. A good move to attack it will be saved, according to common sense, in order to keep Qingzhou, it is necessary to recapture the Diaoyutai Village, but the master does not want to do this.

Now the advantage of the Great Song Dynasty is to rely on the strong city and the Liao soldiers to fight, if you go to attack the city or field battle, it is to attack the other with your own shortcomings. Although I don't want to admit it, the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao soldiers really don't have much chance of winning in the field battle, firstly, the Liao people have the advantage of cavalry, and secondly, there is also a gap in the quality of the soldiers. Although the Liao State has been weak in recent years, and has won fewer victories and more defeats against the Jurchens, the soldiers and horses of Nanjing and Xijing are still much stronger than those of the Great Song Dynasty. Yeluchun occupies the Diaoyutai Village, that is, he wants to lead the troops out of the city to meet the battle, he is good at leisure, and then with the benefit of the cavalry, he will break the tens of thousands of troops on the East Road. This Yeluchun really deserves to be the youngest heroic figure after Yelu Dashi, but he will not fall for this evil when he cultivates the Dao, Yeluchun wants Qingzhou, right? Then give it to him.

"Hexu, you quickly go to the middle of the city to order heavy grain and grass, and then bring 5,000 soldiers and horses to escort the baggage first, go to Xiongzhou through Renqiu, and join the army on the West Road!"

After he left with the general order, the seed master slowly stood up and shouted, "The rest of the generals, go to Dacheng with the old man, this Yelu Xiaoer wants to force us to go to the Diaoyutai village to fight, the old man is not as good as he wants, isn't it Qingzhou?" Give it to him, and the old man will go to the big city to block the back road of this Yelu child, and let him know the feeling of being cut off after the grain and grass. ”

Seeing that the seed master was so confident, the panicked hearts of the generals also calmed down a lot, and they all got up and said, "Obey the old general's orders!" ”

On the second day of the first month of May, the heavy rain did not stop, and all the Qingzhou troops abandoned the city, and they did not go to Diaoyutai Village, but went to the big city in the east. Ye Luchun, who was far away in Diaoyutai Village, heard the news that the East Road army was rushing to Dacheng, and he was stunned at first, and then there was a burst of fear. Dacheng is located in the south of Bazhou, northeast of Diaoyutai Village, and west is Qingzhou City, which means that in the future, whether the soldiers and horses of Daliao are withdrawn or transported to carry heavy grain and grass, they will have to pass near Dacheng. Ye Luchun couldn't help but pay a little admiration to it, he Ye Luchun had just pinched the necks of the soldiers and horses in Qingzhou, and the master Dao used the same method in a blink of an eye, and he could make the idea of giving up Qingzhou and garrisoning the big city in a short period of time, which is not something ordinary people can do.

Although it is not bad for the East Road army to occupy the big city, but Ye Luchun is not too worried, the seed master is not easy to deal with, but the others are not necessarily, as long as Han Pang and others break through Xiongzhou, and then go east to Mozhou, will the master still dare to defend the big city at that time? Hey, if the Han generals were like the masters, the Great Liao warriors would not be able to win so easily.

Summoning all the generals, Yeluchun held the general order in his hand and commanded Ruoding, "Buqiong, this king has given you 5,000 soldiers and horses, and you have to conquer Tianjiazhai in one day, can you be sure?" ”

"Your Highness, rest assured, if you can't beat Tianjiazhai, the last general will come to see you!"

After Bu Qiong left, Yelu Chun smiled, as long as he laid down Tianjiazhai, he would have a way back. This Tianjiazhai is located in the northernmost part of Qingzhou, close to the Baigou River, even if Han Panqian can't beat Xiongzhou in the future, he can't pinch the seed master road, he Yeluchun can also enter Tianjiazhai in the north. It was withdrawn to the north through the Baigou River.

At the end of the day. Buqiong's 5,000-strong army arrived at Tianjiazhai at the northern end of Cheongju. Tianjiazhai is a small county town, stationed here is the Baoding army of 3,000 soldiers and horses, of which the main will be the commander of the Kang shovel wok. Kang shovel wok was originally a Bohai people, Zhenghe in the early years with Tong Guan to attack the Western Xia, and then because of the wit, Tong Guan liked, relying on the confidant, Zhenghe four years to transfer the Hebei East Road Baoding Army as the Cheng Xuan envoy. Later, he was promoted to the position of commander. Kang Shovel Wok looks mighty, eloquence is also good, but in fact there is not much real ability, that night heard that Ye Luchun's first brave general Buqiong attacked the city, this commander made the first adult panic. Buqiong attacked the city overnight, only twice, and hit the city, I thought there would be a street fight, who would have thought that just ready to fight, I heard the spies come to report. Kang shoveled and fled at the west gate and headed towards Xiongzhou.

Tianjiazhai lost it too quickly. Even Buqiong, who was besieging the city, didn't come back to his senses, this Khitan man was still a head of paste after a long time, are the Han people like this bear?

The next day, hearing that Tianjiazhai had fallen, the planter sighed, but he couldn't say a word, he thought of the garrison city blocking the back road of the Liao, Kang shoveled the wok, and lost Tianjiazhai in the blink of an eye. The seed master didn't know what happened to the Great Song Dynasty, why he used people like Kang Shovel Wok to guard such an important place. In fact, the farmer does not need Kang Shovel Wok to guard for a long time, he only needs to hold three hours, and then send a fast horse to report, he will definitely send elite soldiers to help, but Kang Shovel Wok does not say three hours, even a stick of incense time has not been kept, the most angry thing is that Kang Shovel Wok did not even send a letter, if it is not for the dawn after he sent a spy to Tianjiazhai, until now I don't know that Tianjiazhai has fallen into the hands of the Liao.

On the third day of the fifth month, the garrison of Nanjing in Daliao, the king of Qin and Jin, Yeluchun, took Han Panqian as the commander, and a total of 50,000 troops besieged Xiongzhou City. On the same day, Zhuozhou stayed behind Guo Yaoshi, and was ordered by General Yeluchun to lead the 4,000 soldiers and horses to the south, and after crossing the Baigou River, he occupied the wolf city walled in the north of Tianjiazhai.

After Guo Yaoshi occupied the wolf walled city, he joined forces with Buqiong to threaten Mozhou to the west, and for a while, the northern part of Hebei became muddy everywhere like this heavy rain.

Speaking of Guo Yaoshi, it is also very interesting, this person was originally a Han Chinese, a native of Tiezhou, Bohai, his parents died when he was young, and he did things like stealing chickens and dogs in the Tiezhou area, and later he was hated by his neighbors, and was driven out of his hometown, all the way to the land of Liaodong. Six years ago, Gao Yongchang, a native of Bohai, took advantage of the Jurchen rebellion and the emptiness of Liaodong's troops, and killed Xiao Baoxian who stayed in Tokyo with more than 3,000 soldiers and horses, occupying Liaoyang Mansion in Tokyo. And Guo Yaoshi started his business thanks to his own Bohai hometown.

After Gao Yongchang founded the country, Liaoshang Jingyelu Hongji was furious and sent the prime minister Zhang Lin and Tiancheng Junjie to make Xiao Han's slave lead 20,000 soldiers and horses to destroy Gao Yongchang. Gao Yongchang's power alone could not stop the Liao soldiers, so he retired from the Ningfu and borrowed Jurchen soldiers and horses at the expense of the twenty-five states in eastern Liao. In Shenzhou, the 20,000-strong army of Zhang Lin and Xiao Hanjianu was defeated by Wanyan Gao and Wanyan Zongwang, and only 5,000 remnants fled back to Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing. After Zhang Lin's defeat, Yelu Hongji refused to give up, so he used Yelu Chun, the weak king of Yan at that time, to re-conquer the marshal of the capital. It was by taking this opportunity that Yeluchun wantonly recruited Liaodong refugees, and later established a Liaodong army of nearly 30,000 people, which was called the "resentful army" because of the resentment of the Jurchens.

The establishment of the resentment army can be said to have brought endless troubles to the Great Liao, and since the establishment of the resentment army, Yeluchun, the king of Yan, gradually absorbed the elite as the foundation, and gradually broke away from Yelu Hongji's control. As for the rest of the resentment army is also unbearable, the beautiful battle did not fight much, but there were a lot of rebellions, the fifth year of the establishment of the resentful army, that is, the spring of the second year of Xuanhe, the southeast road resentment army general Dong clown was not good to conquer the Lizhou rebels and was executed by military law, his subordinates Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun, Guo Yaoshi and others against Liao, and then Yelu Hongji sent the clan talent Yelu Yujian, Xi Wang Xiaogan to jointly quell the rebellion, there are these two great Liao Wenchen generals out of the horse, it only took half a month to defeat Dong clown's subordinates, seeing that the situation is not good, Guo Yaoshi took advantage of the night to occupy Luo Qinghan, Dong Zhongsun's head, in order to return to the Liao Dynasty. From this time on, Pharmacist Guo can be regarded as truly on the stage of history.

At that time, Yelu Yujian's original intention was to knock and poison Guo Yaoshi, Yelu Yujian's idea is really normal, Guo Yaoshi is capricious, compared to the three surnamed domestic slaves, how can you rest assured that this kind of person will be the general? But at that time, Xiao Gan was afraid of causing dissatisfaction among other generals, so he vetoed this mention with some words. Now Guo Yaoshi is out of control, he fought a few small beautiful battles in Liaodong, plus he is slippery, and his official position has jumped a few levels from the small battalion head to the deputy commander of the Privy Council.
