    On the evening of the fourth day, the Liao army arrived at the southern suburbs of Julu.  The pace of the march was not unsatisfactory. Xiao Taolin probably saw that the three armies were lacking in logistics and food. There happened to be a large village along the way, so he ordered an attack and prepared to loot the village.  Fortunately, orders from Hebei officials had been issued to various villages at this time. Several small villages nearby had a small number of people and no village walls were built, so they brought food, grass, livestock and wealth and entered here under the leadership of various elders and village soldiers.  Village.  There are more than 300 households in the village and nearly 100 rural soldiers. Even ordinary men have some crude bows and arrows in their hands.  Led by rural soldiers, hundreds of households launched a heroic resistance.  This bought Li Jilong time and sent Yang Qiong and Tian Min to lead the Xianping Army.  Xiao Talin must fight and flee, otherwise he will harm more than a thousand people of the Song Dynasty before he dies.  After a delay, we arrived at the new battlefield in the evening.  Yang Tian and his two men have been lingering behind the Liao army, and Ma Zhijie and Shi Baoji once again led their troops to catch up.  Xiao Talin was about to order another retreat, but Li Jixuan and Liu Yong rested for a day in Julu County and then came back to kill them.  In fact, the Song Dynasty soldiers were still so small that they even divided their troops at Gaoyang Pass, leaving many infantry behind. Moreover, although the Song army was victorious, the losses were not small. If the Liao army was not tightly entangled by the Song army and could not speed up, I am afraid that  Bei Weijun was also left behind.  However, Li Jilong kept letting the cavalry take turns to march overnight, and then blocked the front to attack. This gave the Liao army an illusion about how many cavalry there were in the Song Dynasty.  Once you have this idea, what morale will there be?  The melee continued until the second watch, before Xiao Taolin led the Liao army to escape to the eastern town of Julu County.  Not even a small village was captured at noon, let alone this town.  Did not enter the town.  Instead, they camped and rested in an escaped village on the west side of the town.  This is also his inevitable choice. There is a large lake on the west side of Julu County.  Dalu Ze, which is half the size of Taihu Lake in later generations, is now frozen, but if such a large lake is not sealed and tens of thousands of cavalry escape from it, it will be very dangerous.  By this time, the three armies were exhausted and miserable, and even Yelu Longxu¡¯s dragon driver was no longer needed.  To escape for one's life.  The emperor of Liao and some important people moved into the house and even found dozens of quilts to let the emperor warm up first.  As for ordinary soldiers, they continue to cover themselves with straw quilts.  However, several important generals were sitting in the room in a daze.  They couldn¡¯t understand why there were so many cavalry from the Song Dynasty?  Why is escape so difficult?  Why did you dare to go deep? It was because the Song Dynasty had few cavalry, and I know there are many now, but compared to the Liao army.  Still very few.  In addition, the Liao army had a large number of troops and was fighting on the plains. Even if the disadvantages were unfavorable, they could use their speed to retreat.  This is the reason why the Liao army dared to go deep.  Most of the day later.  Xiao Taolin looked at Xiao Xiaoyou and said: "You take a group of troops, change out of armor, and pretend to be civilians. Sneak back to our country first and ask the emperor's brother to send reinforcements immediately." "I'm afraid it's too late."  How long have you been there?  Moreover, the Liao Kingdom brought out almost all its troops.  A temporary army can be recruited, and there may even be enough time.  More than 100,000 troops can also be summoned.  But how long will it take?  "Just in case, there are not many troops from the Song Dynasty from here to Jizhou, Shenzhou, and Qizhou." "There are also not many troops left on the Song Dynasty's front line." "It's not many, but we can't put the tens of thousands behind us behind us.  Song Qi can't get away. The Song army is moving ahead. We have fewer and fewer soldiers and horses. We will be surrounded immediately." Xiao Xiaoyou fell silent.  In fact, they are not afraid of distance. If there are no other constraints and the Liao army is allowed to escape, they can escape from Chanzhou to Yishui and Hebei in three days. This is still with a large army, otherwise it can be faster and can be completed in two days.  This is a tough road.  We are not afraid of the various village and city checkpoints along the way. Most of these areas are plain areas. Even if we go around for dozens of miles, it is not a big problem for the cavalry.  What I¡¯m afraid of is getting entangled. Back then, Cao Bin was entangled by brother Yelvxiu, and he walked a hundred miles for nearly twenty days.  Song Jiu was entangled by the Liao army and had to travel less than a hundred miles. He fought bloody battles for seven or eight days before escaping.  The road to escape is half completed, but how many days will it take to complete the other half?  Xiao Xiaoyou was silent for a while and said: "I agree." This man was also a talent, but in this battle, the Liao army did not know how many talents died.  He began to flee north overnight with a dozen soldiers in civilian clothes.  However, his journey was also difficult. During the Warring States Period, the Huns lived where the Khitan people were. After the destruction of the Huns, Xianbei rose up, and the Three KingdomsThere are Yuwenbu activities in the area of ??Xiliao River and Laoha River, reaching Ruyuan (upper reaches of Luanhe River) in the east and Liucheng (west side of Chaoyang) in the west. Murong Chu of the former Yan Dynasty annihilated the Yuwenbu, and then the Yuwenbu herdsmen who fled later joined other groups.  The tribes formed a new alliance, Kumo Xi.  The Khitan is a race that separated from Kumoxi.  Therefore, people in the Song Dynasty often called the Khitans the Huns.  This statement is somewhat wrong. It can only be said that their bloodline is mainly Xiongnu bloodline, but it is blended with the bloodline of Xianbei, various Xi people, and other Hu people. Therefore, their appearance has the obvious Donghu appearance, with deep eyes, bearded hair, and high nose.   Xiao Xiaoyou was still absconding safely at first.  It is true that there are not many troops in the Song Dynasty in the north now, and they cannot station troops everywhere. That will not be effective, so they can only tighten the two ends, one in the south and one in the north.  The middle was empty. A large number of Liao army troops came and they all hid in villages or towns with tall walls. The main force of the Liao army left and all were dispatched to hunt down the deserters of the defeated Liao army. One was hatred. Hebei  It can be said that the hatred between the common people and the Liao people is as deep as the sea, and the second is the generous reward.  Now that the Liao army was nearby, no local soldiers or people dared to come out to search for deserters, so they started to walk safely. However, as soon as they approached Gaoyang Pass, they were discovered by the Song army scouts. Fortunately, he moved lightly and there were few people.  I was smart and brave, fought all the way, and finally escaped Yishui.  At that time, there were only two soldiers beside him.  Regardless of how many injuries he suffered, Xiao Xiaoquan continued to run all the way and fled to Zhongjing of Liao Kingdom.  Report the news and burst into tears.  But soon he was stunned Power is also poison!  Xiao Xiaoyou ran all the way, but he was not gone for long.  Big things happened in Liao Dynasty.  Xiao Talin had just fallen asleep in front of him, when he was awakened by a cry of death from behind.  "Could it be that the Song army attacked at night?" He jumped up.  Has nothing to do with Song Jun.  " Marching and fighting all the way like this, the morale of the Song army will also be fatigued.  There is no need for Li Jilong to do such stupid things.  However, the Liao army began to mutiny.  Li Jilong received a letter from Song Jiu, which contained a series of arrangements and suggestions.  It was a suggestion on the surface, because Li Jilong is now the first commander-in-chief of the three armies. In Chanzhou City, Zhao Heng gave the Emperor Sword, giving him the right to mobilize everyone from Song Jiu onwards.  Even the Military Justice Department, until Zhao Heng took back this power, Li Jilong apparently held the power of life and death under one person and over hundreds of millions of people.  But Li Jilong is not a fool, can he be taken seriously?  It can only be said that this temporarily granted right brought great convenience to his command.  Song Jiu said it was a suggestion, but actually he had to treat it as an order.  So Li Jilong carried out the plan and sent Li Chongjie to make a speech.  Why was Li Chongjie sent there? Because Li Chongjie was originally an important general of the Liao Kingdom.  He was captured by Yang Ye before surrendering to the Song Dynasty. Now he is reused in the Song army and becomes one of the more than 60 important generals in this battle.  ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????]  Of course, all of these dozen or so tiger generals are famous warriors, and the imperial court focuses on cultivating them for the future.  It also makes sense.  But he is above the more than 20 generals such as Liu Yong and Li Qi.  The position is approximately between the tenth and thirty-fifth positions, almost equivalent to Li Chonggui and Li Dejun.  And there were several people just in front of him.  A few people, such as Shi Baoji, He Chengju, Gao Qiong, etc., may have taken advantage of me.  Either he has been famous for a long time, or his reputation will be even higher.  Although the court did not say it out loud, everyone knew it.  There are still others, such as Shi Pu from Taiyuan, Gao Jixun and Wang Hanzhong from the front line, Pei Ji from the northwest, Yang Si from Hebei, and Hu Yanzan from Zijingguan. Wang Xian cannot be counted. He is old and came to rescue. The number of these people is in  There were only a dozen people above Li Chongjie.  But among these poor thirty-odd generals, including Wang Hanzhong and others, they are also old and will retire one after another after the war.  Comparing it like this, one can imagine Li Chongjie¡¯s current status.  But he should not be considered the strongest general in the Liao Kingdom.  This person appeared, even though Xiao Taolin scolded him as a traitor, the humiliation of the Liao Kingdom would actually cause confusion to many Liao generals.  As for the reward order, the living Yelu Longxu is definitely worth more than the dead one, but it cannot be said that the dead Yelu Longxu is only worth a penny. This is obviously disgusting.  Some people are short-sighted and take a long breath of relief.  If the Song army besieges him, it is very likely that his family will take advantage of the chaos and kill Yelu Longxu, but it will be very difficult to capture him alive.  But some people are even more worried.  The thing you were worried about happened.  First, there seems to be no end to the escape route. People are hungry and cold. Every day, a large number of comrades die in blood.In mooring.  On one side is a high-priced reward and the title of a first-class Duke.  how to choose?  That's one hundred thousand yuan. Nowadays, the rich people in the Song Dynasty with this amount of wealth can have at least four to five thousand households. However, for ordinary people, one hundred thousand yuan, especially those hard-working soldiers of the Liao Kingdom, that is  What kind of concept?  While Xiao Talin was discussing matters with bloodshot eyes, a group of soldiers were plotting to kidnap Yelu Longxu.  Without success, under the command of Xiao Taolin, the rebellion was quickly suppressed.  However, why did the Liao army not collapse despite being so pursued by the Song Dynasty? It was the cohesion generated by Yelu Longxu's stay in the army. Now that his own soldiers dared to kidnap the emperor, what else could he not dare to do?  For a time morale became even lower and suspicions abounded in the ranks.  After all this trouble, the army started up very late the next day, and rushed non-stop to the Hulu River. Once again, it was sniped by the Song army. What was fatal was that Sun Quanzhao led the cavalry to catch up from Beizhou and launched a powerful attack from the flank.  attack.  After fighting until sunset, the Liao army rushed across the Hulu River, found several connected villages on the north side of the Hulu River, and hastily constructed a line of defense.  By this time, the Liao army had less than 40,000 soldiers.  But the good news is that we finally got rid of the annoying heavy cavalry.  Moreover, the Song Dynasty cavalry was also left behind a lot.  It was not that a lot of light cavalry was lost, but that the Song army was also short of food and had to send some cavalry back to eat.  And it just decreased.  This force is enough to trap them.  On the sixth day, they set off again to kill Shulu.  This is a helpless move.  The first is to head slightly west, from Qizhou to Baozhou.  The distance there is almost the same, but there are many annoying hilly areas, but there are still many Song troops in the north, most of them are infantry, and the Song cavalry is clinging to them behind, making it impossible for them to sneak away.  As for the soldiers who escaped, God knows where they fled to, or whether they were beaten to death with hoes by the people of Song Dynasty.  And taking the mountain road means that it just caters to the infantry director of the Song Dynasty.  This path is not advisable.  ¡°Also, go from the east, don¡¯t say which way is further.  Those Yingzhou officers and soldiers are giving people even more headaches.  So continue to take the middle road, cross the Hutuo River from Jizhou, and then rush to Boye, and then either rush from Baozhou to the entrance of the Great Wall, or rush from Gaoyangguan to Heiludi. No matter which line of defense is successfully broken, we will fight back to Liao.  country.  On the seventh day, Dabei continued to flee north.  However, variables appeared, which was originally according to Li Jilong's idea.  Today we planned to let them cross the Hutuo River, but everyone ignored Wangyu, the governor of Jizhou.  Before Xiao Yanyan invaded, Song Jiu made many arrangements, including training rural soldiers.  A large amount of money and silk were allocated to Hebei officials to build forts to prevent the Liao army from going south and causing greater trauma to the people.  Wang Yu is a man with great ambitions, coupled with the financial support of the imperial court.  Take the initiative to train rural soldiers and build city defenses.  The Liao army went south.  While sending soldiers to support Yingzhou, they also called the people into the city.  They even continued to open the city gates and let the people go out to collect firewood to keep out the cold and cook.  Seeing that Jizhou¡¯s troops were empty, Xiao Yanyan sent an army to invade, but was easily defeated by Wang Yu.  When Xiao Yanyan withdrew his troops from Yingzhou, he saw that Jizhou didn't seem to be easy to eat, so he let Jizhou City go.  Now the troops supporting Yingzhou have returned. Hearing that the Song army was chasing the defeated Liao army, Wang Yu took the initiative to lead thousands of soldiers from the Forbidden City.  This battle lasted until dusk, forcing the Liao army to wait until nightfall before they hurriedly crossed the Hutuo River and camped hastily to rest.  The nightmare was not over yet. On the eighth day, the Liao army had just crossed the Tang River, and the Song army came to kill them again. The deadly Qin Han also led his generals and many light cavalry to block them from the front.  The two armies merged and the Liao army was defeated.  This time there was no distinction between day and night, and they fought and fled. It was not until the evening of the ninth day that they fled to Ruhe.  There are really many rivers in Hebei now. Starting from the Juma River, the rivers that can be recorded in history include the Juma River, Yishui, Baohe, Caohe, Xuhe, Shenshui, and finally the Rushui in front of you.  But when we get to Rushui, it¡¯s really not far from the border.  Nearly 30,000 Liao troops rushed towards Ru River crazily.  Ignore the clicking noise.  However, the ice in the river cracked one after another, like opening a vicious mouth, and each Liao army quickly fell into the ice hole.  "Retreat, retreat." Yelu Longxu couldn't help shouting.  The reason is very simple. When the Liao army was approaching the Ru River, the Song army could roughly determine their escape direction. Then they used gunpowder to explode, roasted with kerosene, and used axes and hammers to cut away the ice of the Ru River for more than 20 miles.  All the blocks were cut through.  It is still very cold in the north at this time, and it can freeze up to three feet, which is not a day's work. The rivers in the north can be used for horse racing and ice skating in winter, but the thick ice is not frozen in a day.  But after all, the New Year is less than ten days away, and the coldest winter has already begun.Go.  Although the river ahead is frozen again, the ice is not thick.  In fact, with the busy water transportation in Bianshui River, the people also spontaneously applied this principle, using crude icebreakers to break the ice every day, so that the ice was never frozen thick, and this was used to extend the shipping time. Even in the warm winter, there was almost no water transportation.  It was interrupted, even though it was a commercial transport and had nothing to do with the government.  The ice was cut open and frozen again. It was evening again and it was impossible to identify it, so the Liao army rushed forward in a hurry.  How much would a horse plus a person weigh? Moreover, if it rests on four horses' hooves, how much pressure would it reach?  Furthermore, with so many cavalry rushing forward, how could they bear the thin ice in the river?  In the blink of an eye, more than two thousand Liao soldiers were swallowed up. Fortunately, Yelu Longxu moved a little slowly, otherwise he would have almost stepped on the river ice and fallen into the river.  At this time, Cao Wei led Dingzhou soldiers and horses to cover from the west, Yang Yanzhao led Baozhou soldiers and horses to cover from the north, and Shipu led soldiers and horses to cover from Gaoyang Pass.  Plus Li Jilong's army behind.  More than 20,000 Liao troops were heavily surrounded in a small area more than ten miles west of Bianhao Po.  Li Jilong sent soldiers to start spreading lime.  A circle was sprinkled with lime on the encirclement, and a line of large characters was written with lime on the outside: Anyone outside this circle will be killed!  Then he sent someone to shout: "If you don't leave this circle, the Song army will stop supplying a small amount of food every day. If you leave this circle, you will be killed. You make your own choice." After saying that, he actually threw some food into the circle.  The Liao troops looked at each other in shock, but as soon as the Song troops left in front, the Liao troops behind them were robbed.  Xiao Talin and Yelu Longxu both felt miserable. What were they doing, raising more than 20,000 Liao troops like pigs?  Therefore, after resting for three or four hours, at the fourth watch, the army suddenly gathered to break through to the west.  On the west road is the "little boy" Cao Wei.  Moreover, as long as they break through the direction of Baicheng, the wet water under Beiping Village is not deep. Even if the Song Army cuts through the river ice, they can still cross the river.  After killing them, we are in the Liao realm!  However However, as soon as they crossed the circle, Cao Wei calmly responded with his troops and horses. At this time, because the Liao army was dragged down by the Song army, some of the artillery was dragged to the front line by horses.  Nearly a hundred artillery pieces fired a salvo.  Everyone was afraid of unfamiliar things. As a result, no matter what Xiao Taolin ordered, all the Liao soldiers hurriedly fled back to the circle, willing to be treated as pigs by the Song Dynasty.  The generals of the Liao Kingdom were still not reconciled and gathered together to discuss.  Then there was no movement from the Liao army.  Fortunately, the Song Dynasty also behaved inexplicably. They continued to throw dry food into the circle every day, and even suddenly showed kindness and threw some quilts and charcoal into the circle.  It¡¯s impossible to keep warm, but you won¡¯t freeze to death. It¡¯s impossible to eat well, but you won¡¯t starve to death.  If the Liao army doesn¡¯t understand, then it will continue to be a half-dead pig.  (To be continued)
