Very good, Dang Jin is a rude man. Since he became a senior officer of the Imperial Army, he would have encountered Zhao Kuangyin conducting a large military population census. "Old party, how many soldiers are there?" Dang Jin couldn't remember it and didn't want to remember it. He raised a wooden piece, "Boss, please see it yourself, my number of soldiers is above." Zhao Kuangyin had no choice but to have too many illiterate men under him. He had to do reading activities over and over again, but scholars could not be trained in one day. There was no way, so he had to ask and ask these generals to read more books when they had time.

Very good. Dangjin seemed to have made some progress. He would lose his bag of books. Before being transferred to another place to garrison the border, he should go to the emperor to express his determination as usual. Dangjin felt that this was a good opportunity to show his academic performance, so he asked the subordinates to write their determination and recite it himself. But when he came to Zhao Kuangyin, he could not remember all the words he memorized. Dangjin decided to play on the spot and wrote it in a hurry. "I heard that the style was a simple route in the past, so I didn't say much, I just hope that the emperor would eat, drink, sleep and behave well.

(I heard that his style was simple and simple in ancient times, and I hope the officials should rest well)" The court laughed, what is this? Dang Jin explained his on-site literary talent. "I saw that those civil servants like to quote classics without any trouble. Today I also showed off my skills to let them know that our family also reads." Dang Jin must have read books, although only half a bucket of water. But it was a coincidence. A true literary determination letter does not necessarily represent loyalty. Dang Jin's child-like congratulations made Zhao Kuangyin blow, feeling that this person is innocent and ignorant.

But is Dangjin really a simple person? Let’s look at something when he was the captain of the Beijing Urban Management Brigade. At that time, he often wandered around the streets of Beijing. When he saw someone carrying a cage and raising birds, he got angry: these rich second-generations were rich and did not support their parents, but played with these things. The angry Dangjin took action directly. He rushed forward, snatched the bird cages, untied the shackles, and let all the birds be released. He read less but understood the great principles. Just when he was about to applaud him, something very disgraceful happened. The captain went to see him again that day

Check the streets to see if there are any stalls and birds playing with them. He happened to find one of them. He was carrying a big eagle and swaggering around the streets. Lord Dang was angry and bold! Don’t you know if I don’t let you play with these things? He rushed up and wanted to release the animals forcibly. But the man said softly: This is King Jin. King Jin? Zhao Guangyi! Lord Dang’s hand shrank back like an electric shock, and his expression on his face also changed into a smile like an electric shock. "Oh, it’s King Jin. He looks so good. He raises it well. He has to be an eagle."

OK! It turns out that the bad guys are also careful! In fact, the party is even more bold.

Liu Jiye was bold. He dared to attack the camp after hundreds of horses, but he didn't expect that Dangjin was more bold than him. Dang boldly led a few people and rushed over and headed straight to Liu Jiye! Liu Jiye turned around and ran away. He knew that he had chosen the wrong person this time and shouldn't have come to Dongzhai. He could only preserve his strength and fight again tomorrow.

So when Dangjin killed the soldiers on the road and wanted to fight Liu Jiye one-on-one, he found that the opponent's chief general was gone. Where was the enemy who was brave and invincible just now? Liu Jiye was huddling in the trenches. He endured the shame and watched the soldiers he led out were wiped out by the enemy.

Alas, this was an adventure, and Liu Jiye did not point out and hit it successfully, but now he didn't expect that the general would hide in the ditch and live a secret life. He was so shameless. Liu Jiye was bleeding inside. He almost wanted to fight out and die in the battle, but in the end reason defeated the impulse. At night, Song Bing retreated and he quietly slipped back to Taiyuan. He climbed back. Because the city gate was closed, the city gate was unwilling to open the city gate for the defeated general. He had to climb the life-saving rope hanging from above and climb back to Taiyuan.

Liu Jiye failed, but the failure was not meaningless. He had expressed his opinion to Zhao Kuangyin through repeated sneak attacks: The people of Taiyuan would rather die than surrender!

Zhao Kuangyin was helpless. He knew in his heart that the people of Taiyuan dared to resist so stubbornly, that is, the Khitan cavalry in the north. With this internationalist warrior, the Northern Han was certainly unwilling to surrender. People did not shed tears without seeing the coffin, while the Northern Han did not give up. This involved a question under the major issue of unification: should we deal with the Northern Han first or the Liao Kingdom first? Ping Bianceli, the Northern Han was put to the end. Before conquering the Northern Han, we must first attack the Liao Kingdom, take back the 16 states of Yanyun, and give the Liao Kingdom strength.

The great loss was that he could no longer control the affairs of the Northern Han Dynasty. In this way, the Northern Han Dynasty surrendered without attacking. Chai Rong and Wang Pu's strategy was carefully considered. They knew that the Zhou Dynasty had a deep hatred with the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Liu family would definitely fight to the end. When it comes to Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyin thought it was already the Song Dynasty, and the Song Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty did not have much celebration. Everyone fought and showed their strength and intentions. The Northern Han would not hold on until the last one, right? He did not expect that the Northern Han relied on the support of the Liao Kingdom to directly transfer his hatred for the Zhou Dynasty to the Song Dynasty.

Well, Zhao Kuangyin expressed his conscience to the people of Taiyuan, and he also took the next step and attacked the Liao Kingdom. Brothers in Taiyuan, aren’t you waiting for reinforcements from the Liao Kingdom? I am also waiting for them, and I will show you their heads. You should know what to do, right?

At this time, the Liao cavalry was divided into two groups: one by one, one by one, and one by one, heading towards Dingzhou.

The veteran general who called He Jiyun was sitting in front of Zhao Kuangyin at this time, with a map between them, and Zhao Kuangyin pointed at a location: Shiling Pass. This is a dangerous place located in the north of Yangqu County and a place that must be fought for by military strategists. To block the Liao soldiers who came to reinforce Taiyuan, this is undoubtedly a key location. A thousand years later, another group of extremely vicious invaders attacked Taiyuan from here. It was the Japanese devils.

Zhao Kuangyin gave He Jiyun a guide to the strategy of retreating to the enemy. He was an emperor who often played the role of chief of staff. He took Jinghu and captured Houshu. He made suggestions, set strategies and even tactics. This may be a good thing. The army had already made plans before it was implemented, but it was not necessarily all good things. How can the above-mentioned ones take charge of the enemy? In other words, if Zhao Kuangyin died, who could still make suggestions for the military of the Song Dynasty? This seems to be a distant problem (in fact, it is not far away. Ten years later, the Song Dynasty would pay the price of bleeding for this problem), and we should solve the current situation.

Zhao Kuangyin gave He Jiyun thousands of elite soldiers. The emperor's intention was clear: he would never let one soldier and one soldier of the Liao Kingdom come. Of course, if he dies, the more the better.

He Jiyun was about to leave the barracks, but suddenly he was stopped by Zhao Kuangyin. Looking back, he saw Zhao Kuangyin holding a bowl of things in his hand. Sailing the farewell wine? He Jiyun drank it all in one drink, but what was in his throat was not wine, but the hemp powder that had gone to the heat. The coolness went straight into his abdomen, but He Jiyun's heart became hot. This bowl of ordinary and cold hemp powder could inspire the blood of a soldier more than any strong wine. He Jiyun led his troops to resist the enemy. He remembered the emperor's words: I'll wait for good news tomorrow at noon.

On April 12, the next day, inside and outside Taiyuan City were waiting for the news of the Battle of Shiling Pass. Zhao Kuangyin personally stood on the high platform in the north and looked north. Time passed by little by little, and Zhao Kuangyin's sweat dripped. It was very quiet in the distance...

The lucky Zhao Kuangyin waited for his own Phidipides like the Greeks. In his anxious sight, a black spot finally appeared, getting closer and closer, and gradually became clear that it was one person and one horse. Zhao Kuangyin could no longer bear it, so he ordered him to meet him and asked for the news immediately!

The visitor was He Jiyun's son He Chengrui, who brought surprises to Zhao Kuangyin and the entire Song army. The Song army won a great victory, captured Wang Yanfu, the governor of Wuzhou of Liao, beheaded more than a thousand, and obtained a large number of war horses and armor.

On May 2, another Liao army reinforcements from Dingzhou were also defeated. This was a chess piece that Zhao Kuangyin had long been ambushing.

Han Chongyun made the contribution. This was a heavyweight figure in the Song Dynasty, one of Zhao Kuangyin's "Ten Brothers of Yishe". When Shi Shouxin, Gao Huaide, Wang Shenqi and others bought land, bought houses, and drank and had fun, he still fought on the front line of the Song Dynasty's unification. Maybe this person was very honest and had only once committed a taboo. Zhao Kuangyin wanted to chop his head. He heard that he had cultivated his confidants among his personal soldiers, which touched Zhao Kuangyin's most sensitive nerves. He formed a party in the army. This was Zhao Kuangyin's secret to becoming a family. Whoever wanted to learn meant rebellion. Just when Han Chongyun almost wanted to move his head, Zhao Pu said good things for him and saved him. Finally, he was driven out of the capital and came to Xiangzhou to become the governor of Zhangde.

Xiangzhou is very close to Dingzhou. Zhao Kuangyin had expected the Liao Dynasty's march route before his personal expedition. "Khitan knew that I was personally expeditioning Taiyuan, and he would lead people to help. They believed that Zhenzhou Dingzhou was not prepared and would march from this route. You can lead troops for me to ambush them and attack them unexpectedly."

The Liao soldiers came, and they had learned about the defeat at Shiling Pass. They only hoped that the Song army would forget to set up ambush along the way. If they could take the Ding Dynasty, it would be cost-effective to conquer these two major states even if they lost Taiyuan. The abacus was very good, and the reality was cruel. When they arrived at Jiashan in Dingzhou, they found that many bright flags suddenly appeared on the road ahead that they thought was smooth. There was an ambush! The Liao soldiers were shocked and turned their heads and wanted to escape. But Han Chongyun refused to count. He Jiyun had made a military contribution. If he only drove away, how could he go back to Bianliang to drink and brag with those people in the future? He urgently ordered his troops to attack quickly.

Two exciting victory proved that the Khitan Iron Cavalry was not invincible. Or it could be said: as long as your will is strong enough, all enemies are paper tigers!

Zhao Kuangyin believed that this victory could successfully defeat the Taiyuan people's last confidence. He held a head exhibition outside Taiyuan City, and also exhibited the Khitan's exotic armor: Look, the reinforcements you are looking forward to staring and moon have been defeated by me. Please do not resist the burden of the people who are stubbornly.

But there was a silence in Taiyuan City, and then suddenly shot countless arrows from above. The people of Taiyuan have expressed their determination with their actions: they would rather die than surrender! They have never given up until they see Huangquan, but they have never seen anyone who shed tears when they see the coffin. Zhao Kuangyin even felt a little poor in the face of the tall Taiyuan City.

In fact, the Northern Han people were too disappointed. But now there was a sharp whip whip in the city to cheer them up: Don't be afraid, this is just my Liao vanguard. The army has not arrived yet. Let's hold on for a while. Once the army arrives, we can wipe out the Song army outside Taiyuan City. This person is Han Zhifan. He should have come to do some tricks (here he ordered Liu Jiyuan to be enthroned by the Liao Emperor). At this time, he was a bit overwhelming. He took over the command of the Northern Han army, inspected day and night in the city, and commanded and held the morale of the Northern Han again.

Zhao Kuangyin was angry. He thought of all his solutions, hoping to easily take over the Northern Han. He was unwilling to waste too much energy in Taiyuan City. In the south, in Yanyun, there were more places where troops were needed. But today, all the calculations were lost, and the Northern Han was still harder than the stone.

Then there is only one way left. Zhao Kuangyin summoned Chen Chengzhao. "When he besieged the city, you said that I had tens of millions of troops here. Now you can summon them all." On May 8, Zhao Kuangyin led the Fen River to siege the city. The emperor was like the Dragon Prince, using tens of millions of navigators. However, the city of Taiyuan was thick and was built more solid than the Three Gorges Dam. The rolling Fen River water did not destroy Taiyuan City, but it seemed like a road moat was built for the people of Taiyuan.

Tens of millions of naval soldiers were not enough, so he could only send his carefully trained imperial guards. On the 12th, Zhao Kuangyin came to the southeast of Taiyuan City to the governor. When Wang Tingyi saw that the emperor was here to be a cheerleader, his heroic spirit was instantly aroused. He took off his helmet and jumped onto a small boat and rushed forward. But he shouldn't have taken off his helmet. Arrows from the city were raining, and one of them shot directly into his head. Wang Tingyi fell head-on into the Fen River. He died on the 14th. Wang Tingyi was not the only senior imperial guard officer who died on the front line. On the 15th, Shi Hanqing was also shot by arrows during an attack and fell into the water and drowned.

This position seemed unfavorable. On the 21st, Zhao Kuangyin turned to Ximen again, and the troops attacked Ximen forcibly. However, the Taiyuan people repelled their attacks again and again.

But the situation in Taiyuan City was getting worse and worse. Guo Wuwei in the city could no longer sit still. When the city was broken, he became a prisoner. What else should he talk about the heroes of the Song Dynasty and the governor of Anguo? He suddenly turned from the surrender faction and became a firm death-death battle faction, demanding that he personally lead the army out of the city to fight the Song army. His earth-shaking change did not alarm Liu Jiyuan. Liu Jiyuan believed him, gave him a thousand elite soldiers, and sent Liu Jiye, the most war-going general in the city, to be his deputy general. He personally held a military outing ceremony for him at Yanxia Gate.

But what disappointed Liu Jiyuan was that Guo Wuwei left and returned inaction. This was a clever plan that Guo Wuwei had planned for a long time, and a second plan after the failure to persuade the emperor to surrender. As long as the army in the city was successfully led out of the city to surrender together, maybe Zhao Kuangyin would not be stingy with the position of the governor of Anguo, right?

After walking after leaving the city, Guo Wuwei gradually discovered something was wrong. The clear sky suddenly turned wind and rain. The wind was whistling and the rain was cold, and Guo Wuwei's heart was even colder to the freezing point because he discovered something bad.

Guo Wuwei hurriedly urged the horse to move forward, and silently said in his heart: It would be good to arrive at Song Camp, maybe it was sunny and sunny above Song Camp. When he arrived at Beiqiao, he stopped his horse and stationed his troops and greeted the two deputy generals. Yes, it was time to show off. It was amazing to these two generals and pointed out the future. Perhaps Guo Wuwei had an edict to surrender the two of the Song Dynasty in his arms. They should be good birds and knew to choose trees to live on. But the reality was very cruel: Liu Jiye returned to the city. Someone reported: General Liu's horse hurt his feet and could not send troops. He didn't even fight.

Why did the horse get hurt? But this is not the worst news. Another general, Guo Shoubin, suddenly disappeared without any reason or explanation. Guo Wuwei shouted General Guo's name in the wind and rain, but no one answered. He looked behind him again, and there were only dozens of elite soldiers left. Can the Song camp go again? The dozens of people have no capital to ask for officials from the Song Dynasty, not to mention that if Zhao Kuangyin knew that he had hidden more than 40 letters of surrender but failed to instigate Liu Jiyuan, it would be a bad idea. There is only one choice left: return to the city.

Guo Wuwei, who returned to Taiyuan City, became a surrender again. He nagged Liu Jiyuan again: Look, our reinforcements have been defeated, and the Khitan heads are still exhibiting outside the city, so have they surrendered?

Liu Jiyuan nodded this time and made a decision: Guo Wuwei's head was shown in Taiyuan City. Liu Jiyuan could no longer bear it. He had let Guo Wuwei go on a road of life and asked him to surrender himself, but he insisted on returning to the city to shake the morale of the army. This is no wonder that he did not miss his old kindness. Besides, he could not save this old Taoist. This person's many strange actions are well known to everyone, and the eunuch Wei Degui has come to complain. In order to preserve the last bit of morale of the Northern Han Dynasty and to comfort the bloody soldiers on the front line, Guo Wuwei will die! With your infinite yearning for political career, your beautiful longing for the prosperous life of the Song Dynasty and the appointment letter of the Anguo Jiedushi! I just wonder if the underworld needs Anguo Jiedushi who is a chaotic country?
