Capturing Xiongzhou is quite uncomfortable as if you hit everything with one punch. [This article comes from]
When Daliang soldiers and horses arrived at Xiongzhou, the magistrate of Xiongzhou had already absconded, and the officers and people in the city began to flee. Daliang soldiers and horses easily captured Xiongzhou.
Yelu Dashi rode a horse and stood on the pontoon of Baigou River, looking at the south with a look of helplessness.
A few days ago, Yelu Dashi ordered people to build three pontoon bridges on the Baigou River. The Daliao cavalry could cross the boundary river at any time, march straight in, plunder the rich Central Plains, and even open up new territories to make up for the loss of the northwest to the Jin Kingdom.
Go to the state capital.
However, after 50,000 soldiers and horses had been gathering for many days, word came that the emperor was going to march in person, and the soldiers and horses were not allowed to cross the river before the emperor's arrival. The 50,000 soldiers and horses were blocked on the north bank of the Baigou River, and they did not dare to take a step.
Although Yelu Dashi strongly advocated that Xiongzhou had surrendered to Liao Dynasty and the army could enter Xiongzhou. In this way, the army would have a foothold on the south bank, but it was blocked by his younger brother King Yelu Dezhong.
Yelu Dashi also knew what Yelu Dezhong was afraid of. It was just that he was afraid that the emperor would think that he had different intentions.
Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Liao Kingdom had four sons. The second prince, Prince Jin, was always prestigious in the military, while the third prince was born to his beloved concubine Yuan Fei. Xiao Fengxian, Yuan Fei's brother, was favored because of this and served as a privy envoy, accompanying the emperor.
.
Xiao Feng was afraid that the future King of Jin would inherit the throne, so he framed the clan general Yelu Yujian, the consort Xiao Yu and others for plotting to establish the King of Jin. Yelu Yanxi also knew that after hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses guarding Dagang were defeated by 20,000 Jin soldiers, Xiao Feng
His prestige was gone, and he became suspicious. Hearing that someone was planning to rebel, he immediately sentenced Xiao Yu and others to death. Even the biological mother of King Jin, Concubine Wen, was sentenced to death. Only Yeluyu saw that he was in the army and heard that
After hearing the news, he led his troops to surrender to the Jin Kingdom.
Most of the people involved in this incident are members of the clan, so the clan generals are now being cautious.
Although Yelu Dashi also had a reputation in the army, his official position was not as high as that of his younger brother, King Yelu. He could not decide the movement of the army.
After receiving Xiongzhou's request for help today, Yelv Dashi asked Yelv Dezhong to send troops again, but Yelv Dezhong refused again.
Yelu Dashi had no choice but to write a letter to the magistrate of Xiongzhou, asking him to mobilize the people to defend the city and wait for the Liang soldiers and horses to attack the city. The Liao soldiers and horses would cross the river to make a surprise attack and defeat the Liang soldiers and horses in one fell swoop.
Yelu Dashi originally wanted to trick Xiongzhou Zhizhou into holding on. Once the Daliang soldiers and horses surrounded the city, Daliao would not send troops. He could only hold on to the end.
Unexpectedly, the magistrate of Xiongzhou discovered this and abandoned the city and fled, allowing Daliang to recapture Xiongzhou without any troops.
In fact, it is not that Xiongzhou Zhizhou is smart, but that he does not dare to let the people go to the city. The people on the border hate the Liao Kingdom. If they are given weapons, I am afraid that once the Daliang soldiers and horses arrive, these people will become
He agreed internally. Moreover, he had no confidence in when the Liao soldiers and horses would come to help. The Liao soldiers and horses had been gathering for a long time, but they had never crossed the river, which made him have to wonder whether the Liao soldiers dared to fight on both sides.
With only two thousand people guarding such a large city, the attackers were still the invincible Daliang soldiers and horses. It was estimated that it would be difficult to defend for an hour, so Xiongzhou Zhizhou fled with a few of his confidants. He disobeyed Yelu Dashi's order, and he did not
If you dare to flee to the Liao Kingdom, the territory to the south is all Daliang. You can only escape to the west to Hedong, Tian Hu's territory, and find a way out.
Another situation that he did not expect was Liang Guo's reaction to asking for coins. He originally thought that Liang Guo would agree, and then he could send envoys to ask for more coins. At the same time, Liang was paralyzed, so that Liao could move south in a big way.
.
Unexpectedly, Daliang actually published Di Bao directly to recruit brave warriors to resist the Liao invasion.
It seemed that Daliao's march to the south would not go smoothly. Of course, it was just not smooth. He did not think that the Daliang soldiers and horses could stop the Daliao army from advancing.
A flying horse came from a distance and arrived at the Baigou River. The soldiers on the horse reined in their horses, and the galloping horses completed the transition from movement to stillness in an instant.
This is the most elite far-reaching commander of the Liao Kingdom, and it is also the support of the Liao Kingdom in its march south.
Although Yelu Dashi could not send a large army across the river, he could send some distant troops across the border to inquire for information.
"Report, Daliang soldiers and horses have entered the city."
Yelu Dashi nodded and said, "Have you seen the flag of Prince Daliang?"
"The Chinese army has a flag with a four-clawed golden dragon."
The various prefectures in Hebei printed and distributed Di newspapers on a large scale, and Liao spies would naturally be able to get them.
Yelu Dashi read the news in the Di newspaper that the Prince of Liang personally went north to fight against the Liao Dynasty, but Chao Yong's arrival so quickly was somewhat beyond his expectation.
Now that you are here, let me, Daliao, put an end to your invincible record. As long as you defeat the invincible prince advertised by Daliang, most of the fighting spirit of the Han people incited by Daliang will also collapse.
Yelu Dashi took a deep look in the direction of Xiongzhou, then turned his horse and headed towards the Liao camp.
Besides, after Daliang soldiers and horses entered Xiongzhou City, Chao Yong asked people to come out to calm the people, and at the same time, he searched for the officials who had harmed the people these days. However, seeing that the situation was not good, most of those officials had already escaped, and only a few were lucky enough to hide at home.
He was reported and arrested by the common people.
Early the next morning, Chao Yong ordered these officials who had defected to Liao and oppressed the people to be publicly executed at Caishikou.
Although the people in the city knew that a war was about to break out and Xiongzhou would be baptized by the flames of war, most of them still chose to stay and live and die with their homeland, because they knew that leaving their hometown would not be much better, and the people on the border were already tough. A few wanted to go elsewhere.
Those who were escaping from the war also rushed to the city gate early in the morning to prepare to leave the city to avoid being blocked by Liao soldiers in Xiongzhou.
The south gate of Xiongzhou slowly opened.
The centurion guarding the city shouted to the people waiting at the city gate: "Everyone has a piece of money. Come and get it in line. Don't be crowded. You are the first one, and you guys will line up behind him."
The first man, the soldier guarding the city, opened a sack and revealed a bunch of copper coins. He couldn't help but be startled. Then his face changed drastically, and he knelt on the ground and begged: "General, please forgive me. I am an only son in the family and cannot go to the battlefield."
"
The centurion was stunned and said: "Who wants you to go to the battlefield? This is the expense given by the prince to visit relatives and friends."
The man looked at the centurion suspiciously and said, "Aren't you trying to recruit a young man?"
Ruan Xiaoqi looked at the crying man and said impatiently: "Who wants a weakling like you to go to the battlefield? Get your money and get out."
Ruan Xiaoer glared at Ruan Xiaoqi and shouted: "It's good to stay at home for a hundred days, but it's hard to go out for a day. A penny is difficult for a hero. The prince knows that the journey is difficult, so he specially asked someone to give you some money. When we retreat,
Liao soldiers, come back again."
"I've only heard of the general who pulls strong men, but when have I ever heard of the general who gives away money? Don't leave, go home. The Liao dog is here, help the prince fight the Liao dog."
"Yes, how could such a prince lead the army and lose the battle and not leave?"
However, most of the people turned around and left in an instant. Only a few people took the money and left the city, but they also expressed their gratitude to the prince.
Although the prince played a role, the main reason was that he was determined to leave. When the officials in the city fled yesterday, they all fled.
Ruan Xiaoer glared at Ruan Xiaoqi and said: "Listen to those people who left the city, can the prince's money be wasted? They go out and publicize the benefits of the prince everywhere. To conquer foreigners, you need to kill, and to conquer your compatriots, you can only win the hearts of the people. .What the prince said is the truth.”
