In 986, the Liao state had a big "scandal", Empress Xiao Andi and Han Chen Han Derang often had private meetings late at night, Zhao Guangyi was amazed by the stains, and sent troops to the Liao state overnight, but he could not imagine that in fact, he had fallen into the trap of the enemy.

In that era, many Han Chinese people revered the golden rule of "three from four virtues". Women should be "idle and chaste, keep discipline neatly, act shamefully, and have laws of movement", not to mention having ambiguous feelings with men other than their husbands, even if they make ordinary friends, they will be gossiped about.

Like Xiao Qi, he was generous enough to interact with other men, or with his own green plum bamboo horse friends, it was simply "shameless".

But they didn't know that in the Liao kingdom, this situation was not a problem at all! The emperor was young, orphaned and widowed, and needed the assistance of powerful ministers; the border crisis also needed men who stood up to the sky as a backer, so it was completely natural to find Han De to let such people who knew the roots be together.

Xiongzhou Zhizhou He Lingtu did not do any investigation of ethnic habits, so he casually and his old father drew up a recital and told Zhao Guangyi that the Khitan kingdom was now full of wind and rain and black smoke miasma, and Zhao Guangyi immediately blossomed after hearing it, because he finally waited for the opportunity to be able to snow the shame of the failure of the last attack on the Liao state.

The army pressed the frontier, Zhao Guangyi was like a bamboo, constantly attacking the city, Xiao Qi always took a defensive position, Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures were included in the territory of the Song Dynasty one by one, and they were about to see the dawn of victory, Xiao Qi finally struck!

She ordered the Khitan army to attack the whole line, adopted the strategy of "luring the enemy to go deeper, gather and annihilate them", sent the general Yelü Hugo, specifically to find the Song army to eat and sleep time to harass, and cut off the grain route, so that the Song soldiers were trapped and lacking, and the combat effectiveness plummeted.

The Song general Cao Bin fought and retreated, and invested a lot of energy to return to the aid of the grain troops. At this time, Zhao Guangyi heard that Cao Bin had retreated to Xiongzhou, and he was furious, making Cao Bin's ass like a fire roast, and he didn't know how to be good.

In desperation, Cao Bin prepared 50 days of grain and grass to force Beishan to attack Zhuozhou, but in the case of strategic and tactical problems, it was impossible to win, and the Song army turned around and fled before the war began, and was chased all the way to Qigou Pass by Yelü Hugo's cavalry.

When Zhao Guangyi learned the news from the front, he constantly beat his chest and feet, although his heart was full of resentment, he was helpless to accept the facts.

At this time, the Song Dynasty general Yang Ye was in the prison of the Liao State, facing the mountain treasures in front of him and sighing continuously, because he admired Yang Ye's talent, Xiao Yu always hoped that he could turn to himself, but Yang Ye vowed to die.

In the end, Yang Ye died of hunger strike, preserving the loyalty of a generation of famous generals, Xiao Qi ordered him to be buried at Gubeikou, and after that, although there was still a contest between the Liao State and the Song Dynasty, there was no large-scale battle.

This is the famous "Yongxi Northern Expedition" in history, He Lingtu's intelligence mistakes, is only one of the reasons for the failure, more importantly, Zhao Guangyi was overconfident, even after the war, he did not think that he was wrong, as said in the "Records of Emperor Taizong", but the general did not respect the calculation, led 100,000 soldiers to the first long battle, quickly took his counties, and then returned to the division to help the heavy weight, repeated labor, and was defeated by the Rong people", a few words, skimmed himself clean, and the pot was all counted on Cao Bin.

Until Zhao Guangyi's death, he did not have the courage to go out again to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures.
