King of Song

Chapter 708 Chapter [-] The price of transcendence

Yelujun was excited. Song Emperor Zhao Zhaoren was in Qingzhou, but he only had eight thousand guards around him.

Is the artist bold?It is said that Zhao Zhao has a very elite army named "Da Song Dao Feng".However, the number is only a few thousand, and they cannot play a decisive role in the face of the equally powerful Liao cavalry.

Zhao Zhao sent all the people out to attack on the border in an all-round way. Why?
Yelujun looked at the map for a long time, and heard that Zhao Zhao had created something called a sand table. It can be said that mountains, rivers, rivers and cities are listed on it, which is very intuitive.The Liao Kingdom is already imitating it, but so far, no qualified finished product has come out, and Yelujun can only look at the map.

However, after some careful scrutiny, Yelujun still discovered its core intention - Zhuozhou!
This is also sad, Zhao Zhao, the hometown of the Zhao royal family in the Song Dynasty, also publicly stated that he would take back this place, which makes sense.In a hurry, Yelujun seemed to have forgotten what the greatest wish of the people of the Song Dynasty was for a hundred years.

His gaze was completely attracted by Zhao Zheng, and there were only 8000 people around the emperor of a country.Do you think it is safe to watch in Cheongju?

You really underestimated the strength of my Khitan elite cavalry!
Yelujun immediately mobilized troops and horses, and gathered the most elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, such as the Pishi Army, the Fifth Academy, and the Sixth Academy, to form an elite force.

At the same time, the troops of the Liao Kingdom on the border began to shrink. Seeing such an opportunity, the Song Army immediately moved forward.However, no one dared to underestimate the enemy and advance forward. They cooperated with each other and fought steadily, pushing the de facto border line of Song and Liao forward by dozens of miles.

Yizhou, in particular, has been exposed in front of Song Jun.This made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty a little excited. The Song Dynasty lost a Waqiao Pass, but in comparison, Yizhou is more valuable. If it can be regained, the situation will inevitably change.

More and more troops gathered near Yizhou. Although the Khitan army held firm, they seemed to be short of troops, and they were struggling to hold on.

However, the Khitan reinforcements have not arrived for a long time. On the contrary, there are more and more follow-up troops of the Song Army, and the situation is at stake!
Of course there would be no reinforcements, Yelujun tore it to pieces on the spot when he received the military report from Yizhou asking for help.

Yizhou may be a key city, but it is not important now.

How can the gain or loss of a city be more important than the outcome of a battle?
Time entered early September, and autumn fog began to shroud the plain south of Yanshan Mountain.

It was on such a night that [-] elite cavalry from the Liao Kingdom set off, and their goal was Qingzhou.

At the same time, at least [-] troops are making follow-up preparations and marching south along the direction of Waqiao Pass.

The fog became an excellent cover, which greatly reduced the range of activities and detection effects of the Song army's horse detection. At first, no movement of the Liao cavalry was found at all.

It wasn't until they broke through Waqiao Pass and passed the defense line on the outskirts of Xiongzhou that Tanma noticed it.It's just that the size and movement of the Khitan army is still unclear for the time being, and what's worse is that there is a problem with the transmission of the message.

Fireworks communication is definitely not working, and it is quite troublesome to rush back in time to report the news in the dense fog.

To make matters worse, the scouts of the Song Dynasty misjudged the direction. They thought that the Khitan people were heading towards Mozhou in the south.

But when the Mozhou garrison received the news, they discovered that the Khitan army had disappeared again.

The general stationed at Mo was called He Mingxiang, a general under Wu Chong's command, but in fact, he had already worshiped under Wen Xianggong when Wen Yanbo took control of Hebei Road.

Since the fall of Waqiaoguan, the pressure on Mozhou has increased a lot. He Mingxiang has been doing his best and being very careful.The fall of Xiongzhou is a big blow to morale, especially the face of the officials is really embarrassing.

As the actual direct descendant of the official family, He Mingxiang worked extraordinarily hard to keep Mozhou guarded tightly, not leaving any chance for the Khitan people.After receiving the summons today, he was also ready to fight, but the Liao cavalry suddenly disappeared.

where to goBypassing Mozhou and Dayingzhou?While he was doubting, He Mingxiang received the news that the Khitan army had suddenly moved to the east, and there was no trace of them in the thick fog.

east...

He Mingxiang thought for a while, then jumped up from the chair suddenly, looked at Dongfang in astonishment, his body began to tremble a little, and his eyes were terrified like never before.

Qingzhou, that is the direction where Qingzhou is located, and the official family is there.

If there is a mistake, the sky of Da Song will collapse!
……

……

Yelujun rode his horse and galloped wildly, the mist had already wet his hair, and even the skirts of his clothes began to feel a little damp. Even if he was in a hurry, his bones were about to be knocked to pieces, and he didn't complain at all.

On the contrary, it is excitement, unprecedented excitement.

Raid Cheongju, their plan has been half completed.

It was a god-sent opportunity. The thick fog gave them shelter, making the action process more secretive. They were very close to Qingzhou, and Zhao Zhao was there.

Yelujun shouldn't be personally involved in such things as sneak attacking the enemy's country late at night and fighting deep into the territory. He shouldn't be involved in this kind of thing.

But no matter how the courtiers persuaded him, Yelujun refused to listen to the advice, and he must personally lead the army to the south.

Because of Zhao Zhao, they can confront each other head-on under the city of Qingzhou.What's even more rare is to have the opportunity to defeat him, to ravage him, to take revenge crazily, and to make him kneel in front of him and beg for mercy.

This is what Yelujun dreamed of, how could he give up easily?Especially when the mind is so fragile.

Ever since, a strange scene appeared.

An emperor personally marched, and brought an elite into the enemy's territory, alone in danger, for the sake of another emperor.

Although some courtiers emphasized that such an approach is dangerous, Yelujun didn't care.

From the perspective of facts and plans, there was no danger at all, and he didn't want to give up an opportunity to confront Zhao Zhao head-on.

A chance to completely trample him under his feet, vent his anger completely, and completely humiliate him.

In fact, he has another plan in his heart. If this thing succeeds, what will it mean?The Lord of Liao personally captured Emperor Song, and he will write a special book in the history books in the future.

He, Yelu Jun, will surpass his ancestors, father, and even emperor Shengzong. During Yelu Longxu's reign, Liao Kingdom was not intended to be the most powerful time.

Emperor Shengzong has also become a monument in the history of the Liao Kingdom. Yelujun has always been pretentious, and he has a huge ambition in his heart, that is, to surpass Emperor Shengzong.

This is the reason why he is so interested and persistent in drinking horses and the Yellow River.At that time, Empress Dowager Chengtian and Emperor Shengzong were blocked in Chanzhou and failed to cross the river.

As for himself, as long as he can lead the Khitan army across the Yellow River, he can erect a new monument.

Yelu Longxu is a personal conquest, so he must be the same, this is the price that must be paid for transcendence!

Now, with such an excellent opportunity in front of him, how could Yelu Jun give up so easily?
