    In June of the seventh year of Xining in the Song Dynasty, and in the tenth year of Xianyong in the Liao Dynasty (he succeeded to the throne in the middle of the year of Yelujun, but the Yuan Dynasty has not yet been changed).  The newly succeeded Liao Emperor Yelu Jun suddenly ordered troops to go south to attack the Song Dynasty.  As for the reason, it was that the Song Dynasty colluded with Yelu Yixin to murder the late emperor and intended to overthrow the Liao Kingdom.  Yelu Yixin fled south at that time. Although his real destination was Youzhou, it seems possible to say that he fled to the Song Dynasty.  Coupled with the two spies who were captured, the evidence is conclusive and supports their theory.  When sending troops, as long as there is an excuse and an explanation internally and externally, logical rigor is not important.  Yelu Jun also had a perfect excuse in his mind. If there was no collusion between Yelu Yixin and Zhao Zhao, how could he have predicted the "Ten Fragrance Ci" in advance?  Zhao Zhao's actions in this matter may not have been to save his mother, but he had other motives and was not well-intentioned.  This move was beyond everyone¡¯s expectations.  There was an uproar in the Liao Kingdom first and foremost. The emperor who had just ascended the throne was thinking about the southern expedition before he was firmly seated on the throne.  Especially since the Liao Kingdom had just experienced the Yelu Yixin Rebellion and was not completely stable, it seemed inappropriate to send troops hastily at this time.  Although the Song Dynasty is currently in civil strife, it may not be a perfect opportunity for the Liao Kingdom to send troops.  There is an agreement on the "Chanyuan Alliance" between Song and Liao. There has been no large-scale war for decades. In peacetime, it is mainly some small conflicts and frictions on the border.  But this time, if we send troops, it will be equivalent to completely tearing up the Chanyuan Alliance, and there will no longer be peace between the two countries. Will this be good for the Liao Kingdom?  Destroy the Song Dynasty?  The Khitan nobles shook their heads one after another. How wise and wise was Emperor Shengzong (Yel¨¹ Longxu) back then?  There was also a female hero like Empress Dowager Chengtian (Xiao Chuo) who was in charge.  There are also famous generals like Brother Yelvxiu.  Such a strong lineup.  Still defeated at the foot of Chanzhou City.  The Southern Expedition ultimately ended in failure.  After this, the Khitan people clearly realized the fact that it was not easy to destroy the Song Dynasty, it was completely a luxury hope.  Since the Song Dynasty cannot be destroyed, why go to the south to conquer it?  The Khitan nobles have reached a consensus that if they cannot take over the south of the Yellow River, they should not even think about taking control of the Central Plains.  In fact, what if Bianliang City is captured?  Can the Khitans completely occupy it?  Yelu Deguang, Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, tried it before, and he attacked Shi Chonggui of the Later Jin Dynasty.  Capture Bianliang City.  In the end, he withdrew his troops back to the north and took advantage of Hedong Jiedu envoy Liu Zhiyuan to establish the Later Han Dynasty.  If you want to rule the Central Plains, you must face a strong counterattack by the Han people.  If you want to withstand it, you will definitely need a strong force.  For the Khitan people, they couldn't do it, and there was no need.  For a nation or a country, before expansion, the first thing to consider is the necessity of expansion.  Lessons learned from two consecutive failures.  The Khitan all realized the fact that they only needed to occupy the sixteen states of Yanyun.  As for the Southern Expedition.  It was just a cover, used when necessary to frighten the people of the Song Dynasty, and then extort some benefits.  For example, during the reign of Emperor Renzong of Song Dynasty, he used this as an excuse to ask for an increase in annual coins.  That¡¯s it, everyone is happy, Song and Liao maintain the so-called peace, and everyone lives a good life.  But this time, the emperor suddenly proposed a southern expedition.  At first, the Khitan nobles thought it was business as usual, but gradually they discovered that the emperor¡¯s intention was to launch a serious southern expedition, and he was particularly serious about it.  No The Khitan nobles were a little shocked. What is wrong with the little emperor?  Is it possible to joke about the Southern Conquest of the Song Dynasty?  Later, some people guessed that Yelu Jun was excellent in all aspects and was a good prince of the country.  But now a problem has been exposed, that is, he is so proud of his achievements and is arrogant and frivolous.  Ping Jurchen and killing Yelu Yixin have already made him somewhat complacent. Yelu Jun is now in a state of excitement and pride.  Therefore, he was a little forgetful and wanted to conquer the Southern Song Dynasty as a greater achievement.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????What?????????????  Don¡¯t you see that Emperor Sui Yang died in two lifetimes?  Yelujun's performance is even more worrying. He has been on the throne for less than a month.  Even if you have some ideas, at least you have to wait until the foundation is solid before taking action!  Now that the throne has not yet been secured and the situation in the Liao Kingdom is not yet stable, he is thinking of hurriedly marching south.  Such an emperor is really not reassuring. I used to think that Yelu Jun was very good, but I ignored his shortcomings. Now they are all exposed. It is hard to say whether it is a blessing or a curse!  Khitan nobles and Liao ministers gave advice one after another, hoping that the emperor would think twice before acting and not make mistakes in haste.  He also cited many examples and analyzed the current situation of Song and Liao Dynasties, and felt that it was not appropriate to march south immediately.  Yelujun himself knew it very well. He had thought so before, but ever since he met his mother that day, he had made up his mind that the Southern Expedition was an urgent matter and could never be changed.    Yelujun clearly remembered that when he made insinuations and finally questioned forcefully, the queen mother was stunned and speechless. Instead of refuting or confessing, she acquiesced.  At that moment, Yelu Jun only felt five thunders striking his head, and the color of the world suddenly changed.  There was actually an affair between the queen mother and Zhao Zhao. She had nothing to do with Zhao Weiyi, but as the saying goes, "Only Zhao Jiazhuang in the palacethe only one who knows about it is a month." Zhao originally refers to Zhao Zhao, and a month should be the Liaohe River.  That curved moon in the water!  I really can¡¯t imagine that my mother actually cuckolded my father, making him, a son, very embarrassed.  If it were someone else, maybe Yelujun would understand and be tolerant, or at least pretend to be nonchalant and pretend he didn't know.  But this person happened to be Zhao Zhao, his mortal enemy. There was not much age difference between the two.  It just so happens that his sister is passionately devoted to him. What is this?  Yelujun was devastated. His mother's move was really hard for him to accept.  Could it be that his opponent Zhao Zhao has become his own father? What a shame and humiliation. How can he bear it?  The only way to get revenge is to take revenge, and Zhao Zhao must pay a heavy price!  Only when Zhao Zhao dies can this matter be considered complete, otherwise he will always feel very unhappy!  "Sending troops to conquer the south was originally at least a year or two away, but now it was urgent.  As soon as he thought of the affair between his mother and Zhao Zhao, strong hatred and anger surged in his heart, completely defeating his reason.  Yelujun won¡¯t think about it.  On the matter of Yelu Yixin's rebellion.  Zhao Zhao saved the lives of his entire family.  He has no sense of gratitude at all.  There is only shame and hatred.  Nor will they think about the consequences of sending troops at this time, and what impact it will have on the Liao Kingdom and the Song Dynasty?  Risks and consequences are no longer considered by Yelujun. At this moment, there is only hatred and shame in his mind!  Nothing matters anymore, avenging shame is the first priority!  Send troops and march across the Yellow River at all costs to behead Zhao Zhao, otherwise this shame and humiliation will be difficult to wash away!  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ Xiao Guanyin sat in the palace in silence.  My heart was extremely heavy.  She finally knew that it was his reminder that saved the lives of her family.  Xiao Guanyin didn't care about the so-called prophet. What she valued more was the caring feeling. At least he would still remember her and care about her safety.     move?  Maybe I felt this way in my heart, but soon my heart was filled with self-blame.  She clearly remembered the look of her husband when he died in her arms, and the true apology.  It evokes the long-awaited love between husband and wife.  As a wife, how can you think about other men?  Especially after the husband passed away.  As a widow, she became the Queen Mother of the Liao Kingdom.  As the Queen Mother, she should set an example for the world. How can she have an affair?  How could the body of the Liao Kingdom be tarnished because of delusional thoughts in one's heart?  " Xiao Guanyin decided to completely forget Zhao Zhao. There will never be any intersection in this life. It was just an accident back then. It cannot be changed. It is useless to blame yourself. Now it has completely passed and will be forgotten forever.  But just when Xiao Guanyin was about to take a thorough look at the memory door, her son Yelu Jun dug it out cruelly and placed it in front of her!  When questioned by her son, Xiao Guanyin did not deny it. She did not have the confidence to deny it at all, and she was not a person who was good at lying.  When she saw her son's gloomy face and his eyes that were almost murderous, Xiao Guanyin felt bad.  She wanted to explain, but her son didn't give her a chance. In fact, she didn't know how to explain.  After all, I did something wrong, so how could I have the dignity to say anything?  She believes in Buddhism and causes and effects.  Since there was a bad fate back then, there will naturally be a bad fate now.  Xiao Guanyin is worried about her son. She doesn't want her son to be psychologically damaged and do anything outrageous because of this incident.  But no matter what I said, my son couldn't hear it at all.  Now that she is in this position, what weight does she, the Queen Mother, still have?  In other words, what qualifications do you have to occupy the position of Queen Mother of Liao Kingdom?  Among countless explanations and pleas, Yelujun only agreed to one thing. His daughter must not let Terry know about this matter.  Maybe this is the greatest luck!  Xiao Guanyin didn¡¯t dare to think about how her daughter Yelutri would react if she knew about this?  Such a fact is a little too cruel to her. Maybe she won't be able to bear it and collapse on the spot.  Therefore, it is better to never let her know that all the blame must be borne by herself. After all, she is the one who is sorry for her daughter, husband and son.     bear?  How to bear it?  Yelujun asked repeatedly, what about this???, he was indeed furious.  But Xiao Guanyin is his mother after all. Even if he blames her and resents her, what can he do?  All the hatred and anger were focused on Zhao Zhao, and Zhao Zhao could only be blamed for this matter.  So the army of the Liao Kingdom was dispatched and marched towards the Hebei Road of the Song Dynasty.  ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ ¡­ At this time, Zhao Zhao happened to lead his army to the outside of Luoyang City!  He naturally received timely news of every move made by the Liao Kingdom.  He ordered people to go to summons, and even revealed his super foresight ability, just to save Xiao Guanyin's life.  ¡°After all, there was skin-to-skin intimacy in the past, and the husband and wife were in love for a hundred days. After all, there is such a lot of love, how can we just watch Xiao Guanyin disappear?  But the outcome of the matter was a bit unexpected. It was originally just that Yelu Yixin's plan failed, but it turned out that Yelu Yixin was plotted against him, and then he jumped over the wall and started a rebellion.  Such a result was unexpected, especially the death of Yelu Hongji was completely beyond imagination and deviated greatly from the original history.  However, the rebellion in the Liao Kingdom seems to be a good thing. Let them fight internally, which actually buys time for the Song Dynasty.  In any case, there will be a battle between Song and Liao in the future, it is absolutely inevitable.  Even though Yelu Jun quickly put down the rebellion, Zhao Zhao still felt that the Liao Dynasty would suffer serious internal injuries due to this judgment and it would take a long time to recover.  They will not attack the Song Dynasty in a short period of time. If someone takes advantage of the situation at this time, it will be really uncomfortable.  However, the result was really unexpected. Yelu Jun actually led a large army to attack the Song Dynasty.  This is not normal. Is Yelujun crazy?  Or is it too confident?  Zhao Zhao didn't know what happened in the Liao Kingdom, but he just felt that things were abnormal and there might be some trouble!  However, the actual results are not necessarily bad!  When the Western Army attacked Luoyang and Bianjing and faced off against the Imperial Guards in Beijing, when they were evenly matched, another elite Hebei Army of the Song Dynasty became very important.  Although Wen Yanbo had made some arrangements on Hebei Road, only some people were actually instigated. The attitude of Wu Chong, the Xuanfu envoy on Hebei Road, was crucial.  Wu Chong himself had a close relationship with Zhao Xu, and his attitude was somewhat ambiguous and uncertain.  If he leads the Hebei army to turn around and go south, the situation will be very bad and it will be detrimental to Zhao Zhao.  But at this moment, the Liao army suddenly moved south.  No matter who Wu Chong favored in his heart, he was a frontier official in the Song Dynasty. As a prime minister, he understood what it means to put the overall situation first.  He didn't want to be infamy for a long time, so he didn't express his attitude clearly, and while waiting and watching, he did his job well and firmly blocked the Khitan attack. That was enough!  Wu Chong did it. The Hebei army fought fiercely with the Khitan people near the border and never relaxed at all.  The Hebei Road army was also contained. No matter how Zhao Xu and Zhao Hao urged, no reinforcements arrived.  A huge problem has been solved. This is a duel between the brothers Zhao Zhao and Zhao Xu, as well as a duel between the Western Army and the Beijing Camp.  Very simple!  The Western Army is already elite, and has gone through hundreds of battles in the past few years, and its advantages are immediately apparent!  In this duel, in addition to the competition in military strength, the support of the people is also crucial.  The Liao Kingdom suddenly sent troops southward, which gave the subjects of the Song Dynasty a sense of crisis.  They hope that the internal fighting will stop as soon as possible and they can face the Khitan.  People also know that at this moment, it is impossible for both sides to stop and make peace.  Then we can only choose a strong person among them to fight against the Khitan!  "Compared with the exhausted Zhao Xu and the frivolous and flamboyant Zhao Hao, Qin King Zhao Zhao is undoubtedly more suitable.  The people's voice was very loud, which put heavy pressure on Zhao Xu and Gao Taotao in Bianjing.  What's even worse is that the morale of the military has also begun to weaken.  Especially after King Qin defeated Luoyang in one night, the morale of the army and the people were completely shaken!  (To be continued, please search Piaotian Literature.
