    The Song army's counterattack was very direct. In addition to attacking the Khitan army on the border in the east, fighting also broke out in the Hetao area in the west.  Don¡¯t forget, the northwest is the place where Emperor Zhao Zhao of the Song Dynasty flourished. It has his strongest foundation and the most brave and skilled soldiers of the Western Army.  Zhe Kexing led the main force of Fuzhou, crossed the Yellow River, and directly attacked the Liao Kingdom's Hetao Tiande Army.  The Yellow River has nine bends, but only one is rich. The importance of the Hetao area is self-evident.  In the past, it was a competition between Song, Liao and Xixia, but now it is only a competition between Song and Liao.  Once the Tiande army cannot withstand it, it is self-evident how dangerous it would be if the gateway to the western part of the Liao Kingdom were opened.  This is the shortcoming of Yelu Jun. After the Liao Kingdom experienced the Jurchen Rebellion and the Yelu Yixin Rebellion, its troops were mainly concentrated on the eastern and central lines.  The relative emptiness of the Western Front was an inevitable fact, which gave the Song people an opportunity to take advantage of.  It is impossible to rush for reinforcements from thousands of miles away. Now we can only hope that the Tiande Army can withstand the Song Army's attack and then seek a breakthrough on the eastern front.  After all, Bianjing, the capital of the Song Dynasty, was in the front direction, and the entire Hebei Road to the east was a crucial area for the Song Dynasty.  ¡°Every gain must come with a loss, and Yelu Jun understands this clearly.  However, the Song Army also launched a counterattack on the eastern front, attacking the border passes under the control of the Liao State, as well as Yizhou and Zhuozhou and other places.  Before recovering the Sixteenth Prefecture of Yanyun, these two places must be recovered first.  In fact, in the early years of the founding of the Song Dynasty, these places should still be in the hands of the Song army. However, after Liao Shengzong, Queen Mother Chengtian and Song Zhenzong stopped in Chanzhou City, they signed the Chanyuan Alliance, and the boundary line also changed.  changed.  ???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????OUT????????? away some of their hometown for no reason.  Because the Song Dynasty's defense against the Liao cavalry was mainly concentrated in the area slightly to the south.  So the past many years.  I have never thought about recovering these two cities.  Even though many years have passed.  But this is definitely a great shame. You must know that Song Taizu Zhao Kuangyin was from Zhuozhou.  But now, Zhuozhou is under the control of the Liao Kingdom.  Just imagine, the Emperor of the Song Dynasty was born in an enemy country. How ironic is this?  If this matter is not resolved, it will definitely be extremely embarrassing when the emperor of the Song Dynasty is introduced in the future, but his native place is in the Liao Kingdom.  Years of shame.  Zhao Zhao couldn't bear it and mobilized his army to attack fiercely, hoping to tear apart the Khitan army's defense line.  But what¡¯s strange is that there has been no action at Waqiao Pass, and no counterattack by the Song army has been seen.  Yelujun couldn't help but wonder, what tactics did Zhao Zhao use?  Making a sound in the east and attacking in the west, taking things by surprise?  Or surround Wei and rescue Zhao?  However, regardless of any tactics, one principle must be adhered to, that is, soldiers will block it, and water will cover it.  The war has reached a stalemate.  The Song army's morale was greatly boosted because of the input of several famous generals such as Zhong Shidao and Guo Kui.  Slightly upper hand.  Song and Liao are two countries that are evenly matched. A tug-of-war is normal. It is not easy to determine the winner completely.  However, once it falls into a protracted tug-of-war, the advantage may favor the Song Dynasty.  Huge national power absolutely guarantees logistical support. When a war reaches a certain level, it is all about national power.  " Moreover, the Song Dynasty was mostly on the defensive in wars, and could better cope with crises and be more tolerant.  The Khitan soldiers are good at fighting on horseback, and they are brave but also impulsive. Under such circumstances, they are prone to chaos in their busy schedules.  Zhao Zhao was waiting for such a result, but Yelu Jun did not want such a situation to occur.  Especially after being stimulated by Yelu Tri, Yelu Jun became even more anxious.  A strong hatred for Zhao Zhao arose in his heart again, and he wanted to deal with him as soon as possible to vent his hatred.  A quick victory was Yelujun¡¯s wish.  It would be best to find an opportunity, an opportunity to fight the main force of the Song Dynasty in a field battle.  The Song Dynasty people were tough in infantry combat and city defense, but in field battles on the plains, that was the advantage of the Khitan cavalry.  If we can take this opportunity to find the main force of the Song Dynasty and give a heavy blow, the effect will be very good, and the outcome of the war may also be reversed!  But where to find this opportunity?  Difficult, really difficult!  However, Huang Tian paid off. Yelujun paid close attention to the movements of the Song army and began to gradually discover some clues.  The first one is the discord within the Song Army. Zhao Zhao had just ascended the throne, and his supporters were mainly the Western Army.  Zhao Zhao also took special care of the Western Army. Generals were promoted one after another, and the soldiers were given more rewards.  But for the Hebei Army, the situation is not optimistic.  In particular, Wu Chong, the Xuanfu envoy on Hebei Road in the Song Dynasty, was said to have supported the Zhao Xu brothers, so he was ignored.  Nowadays, Emperor Zhao Zhao of the Song Dynasty is not in harmony. If not for the fear of the power in Wu Chong's hands and the fear of changing generals at the last moment to shake the morale of the army, Zhao Zhao would have removed Wu Chong long ago.  ? ?On the day when he heard that Waqiao Pass was lost, Wu Chong happened to go to Jizhou to meet Zhao Zhao, but the pass was lost.  Zhao Zhao indiscriminately placed the blame on Wu Chong, causing great resentment.  As a result, in recent times, the Hebei Road Army controlled by Wu Kong has been inseparable from Zhao Zhao and the Western Army, and even Zhao Zhao's orders are not carried out very carefully.  Yelujun, who has a keen sense of smell, realized that this was a God-given opportunity that could only come by chance.  Although there will be Khitan nobles behind him who will oppose the war, once they get to the battlefield and really fight, they will obey the orders of the emperor, so that they can be united as one and win every battle.  Zhao Zhao was the emperor of the Song Dynasty. He seemed to have unified all the forces within the Song Dynasty. Hum In Yelujun's opinion, this was just an appearance.  Zhao Zhao's internal situation in the Song Dynasty would not be better than his own. In other words, the Song army was definitely not as united as it is now.  As long as there are gaps, they can be broken through.  ??Look, now the Song armies are fighting on their own, and there is no coordination with each other at all.  Even if they encounter any danger, they don't come to rescue each other.  Just yesterday, two thousand soldiers from Wu Chong's army were devoured by General Yelujie's army from the Liao Kingdom. The nearby army of Guo Kui did not even dispatch.  Unexpectedly, there is such filth within the Song Army!  Yelujun found out the news in his own way, and his heart was filled with a sarcastic sneer.  The discord between the Song troops made Yelujun realize that they could be defeated one by one, but just when he was thinking about how to attack them one by one, an unexpected opportunity appeared.  The Song army attacked along the long national border and attacked many cities. I don¡¯t know what the strategy was, but it was still without any rules.  These are not important. Yelujun no longer cares about the gains and losses of Yicheng!  He discovered a problem, that is, there were only 8,000 people left in Qingzhou, where Emperor Zhao Zhao of the Song Dynasty was located.  The nearest Di Yong's headquarters is three hundred miles away from Qingzhou.  The life and death of an emperor can affect the outcome of a war and the destiny of a country.  For Yelujun, this is an opportunity for revenge!  We ask for support for the new book "Zaifu".
