    When Lu Qi captured the ancient city of Taiyuan, the war in Luzhou also changed. After the Liao cavalry destroyed 50,000 Zhou troops, they only rested for one day before rushing to Luzhou to attack Han Tong's army. Han Tong's army  Although the losses were very large, the follow-up military replenishment brought the military strength to 150,000, which already formed an advantage over the Jin Kingdom's military strength.  However, a military document from the imperial court surprised Han Tong, and he realized that there was actually a Liao army attacking Kaifeng Mansion. The military document told him to be careful of the Liao cavalry attack, and that he could retreat to Xiangzhou first and wait for the local military forces in Qilu to gather.  , it was estimated that there would be 500,000 reinforcements in ten days. Before Han Tong could make a decision, the prince issued a message to retreat to Xiangzhou, and Han Tong had no choice but to obey.  As soon as Han Tong retreated, the Duke of Jin's army was able to continue to advance into Kaifeng Mansion, and met up with the Liao cavalry on the way. However, they also received military information that hundreds of thousands of Zhou troops were attacking Taiyuan. The Duke of Jin almost hit a tree with hatred after seeing the military situation.  Angry at the Liao army's breach of trust, the Liao army of 300,000 did not break through Fuzhou Zheshi in time.  After weighing the situation, the Duke of Jin knew that he could not go back to Taiyuan. If he went back, the city would inevitably change hands. If his subordinates knew that their old home was taken away, the morale of the army would be shaken and collapsed, because the families of the backbone of the army were all in Jinyang City, Taiyuan.  Here, we can only bite the bullet and march into Kaifeng Mansion. If we take Kaifeng Mansion, we can gain a strategic advantage.  When Jin Guogong arrived at Kaifeng Mansion, Kaifeng Mansion had already received more than 100,000 local reinforcements, and the warriors in the city were even more enthusiastic to join the army. It can be said that the fighting spirit in Kaifeng Mansion was high, there was no panic and confusion, and the combat military strength quickly reached  Twenty-three to forty thousand, many soldiers requested to go out of the city to fight the Liao army in a bloody battle.  The commander-in-chief of the Liao Army, Yeluqige, was not mediocre. He was just used to fighting on the grasslands. He had only heard other people say about fighting in the Central Plains. After being stationed outside Kaifeng City for a few days, Yeluqige felt that something was not good based on the feedback from the military. He knew that the Zhou Kingdom  Assembling more and more military forces, this was different from what he had seen.  The military strength of the grasslands is calculated by all men. However, the military strength of the Central Plains is actually divided into several types. In addition to the regular army, there are also officers and soldiers. Based on the possible population of tens of millions of people in the Central Plains, I am afraid that a military strength of two to three million can be assembled. Even if  A military force of two to three million people is a mob, but many ants can kill an elephant. Yeluqige had the intention of retreating. The Liao State agreed to the collusion of the Duke of Jin. His original intention was to plunge the Central Plains into chaos, and there was no intention at all.  I am willing to sacrifice my military strength for the 'Emperor of the Jin Dynasty'.  The Liao army began to plunder and cause wanton harm near Kaifeng Prefecture. After the rebels arrived at Kaifeng Prefecture, they only attacked the city once. After that, the entire army set out to occupy the prefecture area to the east of Kaifeng Prefecture, and also started to plunder and cause wanton destruction.  Five days later, Yelvqige, who was stationed outside Kaifeng Mansion, suddenly withdrew his troops to the north and headed straight towards Taiyuan. The 50,000 rebels who were with the Liao army had already gone with the main army to conquer and plunder five days ago, so the Liao army's sudden attack  Retreating would be tantamount to leaving the rebels behind.  As soon as the Liao army left, Cao Bin's army also advanced to Kaifeng Mansion. Its military strength had been expanded to 300,000. Cao Bin hurriedly entered Kaifeng Mansion and entered the palace to meet the emperor. He met the emperor in Chui Gong Hall.  "Your Majesty, I am guilty. Please punish me severely." When Cao Bin saw the emperor, he knelt down and apologized in front of all the courtiers.  "You are not guilty, please get up." The emperor said calmly.  "Thank you for your pardon, Your Majesty." Cao Bin swallowed and kowtowed. After standing up, he said: "Your Majesty, I am willing to go and exterminate the rebels to atone for my sins."  As he walked away, Cao Bin hurriedly followed.  Emperor Zhou walked into the back garden before he stopped and turned around and said: "I will return to Luoyang immediately and stay behind for Luoyang." Cao Bin looked at the emperor in surprise. Emperor Zhou said: "Zhao Kuangyi led 300,000 Jiangnan soldiers and returned to Jiangbei.  Now I am taking over the Jianghuai territory in the name of King Qin, and will soon extend to Xiangzhou. I will guard Luoyang on my behalf to curb the expansion of Zhao Kuangyi's power." Cao Bin was surprised and said, "Zhao Kuangyi has rebelled?"  This is tantamount to rebellion, please go ahead." Emperor Zhou said.  "I obey." Cao Bin responded respectfully, then hesitated and said, "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng has tricked me, causing thousands of soldiers to die in battle on the Great Friday, and I hate him." Emperor Zhou looked at Cao Bin and said, "Your Majesty,  It's useless to hate. You should know that Lu Tianfeng is also a traitor. He is unlikely to be willing to fight to the death with the Liao army. I can't blame him at the moment." Cao Bin nodded helplessly, but said: "Your Majesty, Lu Tianfeng's army should be heading north now.  If he is allowed to occupy Taiyuan, it will be even more serious. " Emperor Zhou said peacefully: "You think that if the imperial court starts a war with Lu Tianfeng again, it will be the one who will gain. " Cao Bin was silent, Zhou.  The emperor said: "Zhao Kuangyin has rebelled. Since the Zhao brothers have rebelled, they will not tolerate my relatives in the future. I can only continue to be gentle to Lu Tianfeng." "Could it be that Your Majesty wants to start a war with the Zhao brothers?" Cao Cao  Bin said a little surprised.  "I'm still here""I have decided. After the rebels are wiped out, I will weigh the next step. Please go to Luoyang as soon as possible."  Emperor Zhou said. "Yes, I will retire."  "Cao Bin responded respectfully and left. "After Cao Bin left, Emperor Zhou looked towards the south and said to himself: "You may as well rebel, lest I close my eyes with regrets. Even if I lose, you will follow in the same footsteps."  .  " ***** " The hundreds of thousands of Liao troops marched towards Taiyuan with their spoils of war. Naturally, Lu Qi was rewarded by the scouts. He left all the infantry in Jinyang City and personally led 30,000 cavalry to seek  After the war, the cavalry was divided into two thousand troops and launched a blockade and harassment battle against the Liao army on its way to Taiyuan. Lu Qi already knew that the quality of his cavalry was not as good as the Liao cavalry. This Liao army invaded Zhou.  The army should be the most elite military force of the Liao Kingdom. They are skilled in cavalry and archery, and are tough and good at fighting. For the sake of his own interests, Lu Qi would not be willing to pay the price of 30,000 cavalry troops in a bloody battle with the Liao Cavalry Army. If he lost all.  The cavalry army was tantamount to benefiting Zhou State, but he was not willing to let the Liao army come and go in a hurry, so he launched an attack on the Liao army's infantry. Unfortunately, the Liao army's cavalry was far more numerous than Lu Qi's cavalry.  As a result, Lu Qi's harassment campaign had little effect, and even suffered losses. When the Liao army arrived at Taiyuan City, Lu Qi's cavalry lost 3,000 troops, while the Liao army's loss was only 3,000 troops. This made Lu Qi  Qi felt frustrated and knew that without the sharp divine arm crossbow, it would be difficult for him to win even if the number of troops was equal to that of the Liao army. Unless he took advantage of the geographical advantages, the Liao army was also extremely cunning. The marching route was flat and not far away.  After the Liao army arrived at Jinyang City, Yelu Qige stood in the army and looked at the majestic city. He felt a little regretful in his heart. He regretted that he should have divided his army and captured this majestic city first. As long as he occupied it.  This majestic city is equivalent to occupying the territory east of the Yellow River. However, if it were to occupy this city before, it would be an act of destroying the alliance. The "Emperor of the Great Jin" would not march into the Central Plains.  The military strength also looked down upon the huge Liao army under the city. After Lu Qi occupied Taiyuan Fucheng, he not only took over Taiyuan Fucheng with a population of 100,000, but also divided his army to occupy the cities of the northwest states, so there were only 60,000 in Taiyuan Fucheng.  The Liao army only stayed at the gate of Jinyang City for half a day before heading north. Lu Qi could only lead his cavalry to "send them off" all the way to Lanzhou.  , seeing hundreds of thousands of Liao troops leaving, Lu Qi settled in Lancheng to wait for news, but he did not expect to receive a letter from the Liao troops three days later: "Lu Tianfeng, I hope to fight with you again in the future, Yelvqige.  " After reading it, Lu Qi wrote back: "Okay, I shouldn't keep you waiting too long.  " After the Liao army envoy left, someone from the Fuzhou Zhe clan also came to tell them that the Liao army had already crossed the Great Wall from Daizhou, and they could not stop it. This time the Liao army came with too much force. Without the support of the Central Plains army, Fuzhou  The Zhe family could only defend themselves by seizing the city. Lu Qi turned around to Jinyang City and waited for news from the Central Plains. The first news was that Zhao Kuangyi returned from Jiangnan and returned to Jianghuai with an army of 300,000 people. He immediately went on a rampage in the name of King Qin.  Taking over Jianghuai Prefecture County, the local military forces of the prefecture and county were gathered. The second news was that the prince of Zhou was encircling and suppressing the rebels. The third news was that Cao Bin was left behind in Luoyang. More than ten days later, an imperial edict and official documents from the imperial court arrived in Jin.  In Yangcheng, the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty appointed Lu Tianfeng to stay in Taiyuan. All military forces in Taiyuan were under the command of Lu Tianfeng. The imperial decree of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty made it impossible for the Jiedu envoys to return to their original base. No matter which force they were close to before, they did not dare to do so without authorization.  Leave.
