Edit the history, and count the top ten emperors at the beginning!

Chapter 133
[Since the establishment of the Song Dynasty, the emperors of all dynasties have focused their energy and strength on internal suppression in order to consolidate their rule.

The first two emperors of the Northern Song Dynasty, Taizu Zhao Kuangyin and Taizong Zhao Guangyi, both regarded foreign invasions as "the troubles of Xu Xixi", while the people's "rebellion" and military coups were regarded as "the troubles of the heart".

Therefore, a series of laws and regulations of the Zhao and Song Dynasties were mostly formulated to prevent internal troubles, and even to prevent military rebellion, they tried their best to suppress generals and weaken the combat effectiveness of soldiers.

In this way, how much fighting power did the soldiers of the Northern Song Dynasty have.

Most of the power of the Song Dynasty regime was spent on internal control, but it was extremely weak when it came to the powerful external enemy Khitan. 】

Seeing this, Liu Che couldn't help but tease: "Hehe. I'm afraid this is the real reason why Da Song is called a big counselor."

Zhu Di couldn't help sighing, and said: "Unfortunately, Kou Zhun made great contributions to the outside world, but in the end he also ended up in a miserable end."

Zhu Yuanzhang said with a blank face, "Those who made meritorious service in the Song Dynasty almost never ended well."

"Song people are experts in civil wars, and laymen in foreign wars are just pitiful for loyal people like Yue Wumu, alas"

[We all know that during the entire Song Dynasty, their main opponents were the Liao Kingdom, the Jin Kingdom, and the Mongol Yuan Empire successively, and the founder of the Liao Kingdom was Khitan. 】

[During the late Tang Dynasty and the Five Dynasties period, the warlords in the Central Plains fought in four separate regimes, while the Khitan people in the north took the opportunity to start a rapid development.

In 923 AD, after the fall of Houliang, Hebei was in chaos.

Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, saw the opportunity, so he led his army to the south and took the opportunity to capture Youzhou and Anci, Lu, Sanhe, Yuyang, Huairou, Miyun and other counties.

In the year 936 of the park, Shi Jingtang, a general of the Later Tang Dynasty, asked Liao Taizong Yelu Deguang for help in order to become emperor.

With the help of Liao soldiers, Shi Jingtang established the Later Jin Dynasty, ceded the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun to Liao, and recognized the emperor of Liao as his father, which caused the Central Plains to lose the northern Pingfan and lose face at the same time. 】

Shi Jingtang, who was on the list of top ten foolish kings, has been dead for almost a month. Unexpectedly, at this time, he was pulled out by the video and whipped the corpse.

[Later Zhou Shizong Chai Rong devoted himself to the Northern Expedition in order to recover the lost land and revive national defense. He once recovered the three states and three passes that had been occupied by the Khitan nobles for more than 20 years. Unfortunately, Chai Rong led his army to continue northward, trying to regain the entire territory of Youzhou At that time, he had to drop out of the school due to illness.

Xuan took Waqiaoguan as Xiongzhou and Yijinguan as Bazhou, leaving troops to defend, and the army returned to Bian.Soon, Chai Rong died of illness, and the Northern Expedition stopped. 】

"Oh! This emperor looked quite powerful, but it's a pity that he died like this!" Liu Bang immediately expressed deep regret when he saw that an emperor almost regained the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun.

"Chai Rong seems to be quite good." Emperor Wen of Sui's evaluation was concise and to the point.

"It's a pity that Chai Rong regards Zhao Kuangyin as his brother, but Zhao Kuangyin has taken away his son's country." Kangxi said with some contempt.

When Zhao Kuangyin saw the name "Chai Rong" in the video, his expression was a little unnatural.

Chai Rong's trust in Zhao Kuangyin has even reached the point where he can entrust his family members. However, such unreserved trust has resulted in the loss of the throne, and the tragic ending of his sons either disappearing or dying early.

[During the time of Song Taizu, Mu Zong Yelujing was in power in the Liao Dynasty. Yelujing was indulging in wine and sex, ignored state affairs, and adopted a conservative strategy towards Song Dynasty.

The Song Dynasty was able to take the opportunity to vigorously develop its power and quickly put down the separatist regime in the south.

When Liao Jingzong Yeluxian came to the throne, Liao's national power had not yet recovered for a while, so it was still in peace with Song Dynasty. From the seventh year of Kaibao (974) to the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo (979), Song and Liao also sent envoys to communicate with each other for five years as long as.

However, this seemingly friendly situation eventually broke down because Song Taizong personally conquered the Northern Han Dynasty and the Liao soldiers assisted the Northern Han Dynasty. 】

[During the time of Song Taizong, two large-scale wars occurred between Song and Liao in the fourth year of Taiping Xingguo and the third year of Yongxi (986).

These two wars ended with the Song army being defeated.

From then on, the Northern Song Dynasty's tendency to "keep the inside and keep the outside" became more serious, and the negative compromise sentiment in the Song Dynasty also grew day by day.

The Khitan cavalry marched south every year, and the Great Plains of Hebei were often harassed, and the production and life of the people were severely damaged. 】

[In the third year of Zhidao (AD 997), Song Taizong died, and the prince Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne, that is, Song Zhenzong.

The Khitan cavalry took advantage of Song Lord Xinli to harass the border more frequently.

In the second year of Xianping (999 A.D.), the Liao army defeated the Song army at Gaoyang Pass, captured the Song Dynasty and deployed Kang Baoyi, and returned after plundering.

In the sixth year of Xianping, the Liao army invaded Gaoyangguan again, and Wang Jizhong, the deputy capital of the Song army, was captured and surrendered to Liao.

These two huge failures greatly shocked the Northern Song court. 】

Seeing this, people from countless parallel worlds couldn't help shaking their heads and sighing.

The national defense is not strong, and it can even be said that the Song Dynasty is weak. In the end, it is the people who suffer!
[In the first year of Jingde (1004), emergency documents on the border were frequently circulated, saying that the Liao army was about to invade on a large scale.

The prime ministers Li Hang and Bi Shi'an were helpless in the face of a powerful enemy.

In June of this year, Bi Shi'an recommended Kou Zhun to Song Zhenzong as Prime Minister, and said to Song Zhenzong: "Kou Zhun is talented and loyal, and can decide major events; he will die for the country, and he will be jealous of evil. At present, only Kou Zhun can defend against the invasion of the North." The enemy protects the country."

In August, Kou Zhun was appointed as a bachelor of Jixian Hall, and he was the same prime minister as Bi Shi'an.

In September, Yelu Longxu, Emperor Shengzong of the Liao Dynasty, and his mother, Empress Dowager Xiao, led an army of 20, set off from Youzhou, and sent troops to the Song Dynasty in a mighty manner! 】

[The Liao army attacked Dingzhou from the Weilu army, but was blocked by the Song soldiers, so they turned their fronts to the southeast.

When the enemy cavalry went south to invade, and the "urgent book arrived five nights", most of the upper echelons of the ruling group in the Northern Song Dynasty were panicked and frightened.

If Wang Qinruo, the political adviser, was from Jiangnan, he proposed to move the capital to Jinling; Chen Yaosou, a member of the Privy Council, was from Sichuan, and proposed to move the capital to Chengdu.Unanimously, they all advocated ways to avoid the enemy in order to deal with the Khitan invasion.

At this moment, Song Zhenzong had no intention of fighting against the enemy, and he was even more panicked. The huge chaotic hall became ants in a hot pot. 】

[At this extremely critical moment, Kou Zhun stood up and insisted on sending troops to resist.

When Song Zhenzong asked Kou Zhun for his opinion, Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosou happened to be present.

Kou Zhun knew in his heart that they were the ones who proposed the idea of ​​moving the capital, but he pretended not to know, and said to Zhenzong, "Who gave Your Majesty the idea of ​​moving the capital? The crime is decapitation!"

Afterwards, Kou Zhun further proposed that the emperor should conquer in person to win the decisive victory, and vowed that if Emperor Zhenzong of Song Dynasty conquered in person, the enemy would flee; The capital makes the enemy tired, so that you can wait for work at leisure, consume the enemy, and win the final victory. 】

[Kou Zhun's analysis finally dispelled Song Zhenzong's fear, and also stopped the escape faction's claim.

Facts have proved that Kou Zhun is not only good at analysis, but also a series of strategies against the enemy that he formulated later are indeed effective, helping the Song Dynasty successfully resist the invasion of the Liao Kingdom. 】
