In fact, people like Li Chuwen proved to be unable to be entrusted with important tasks, because Yeluchun's death made him realize that the death of the Liao State was inevitable, and he needed to leave a way back for himself, and his back road was the Song Dynasty army that had just suffered defeat.
So, Li Chuwen secretly planned to kidnap Concubine Xiao Defei and surrender to Tong Guan, the commander of the Song army, but unfortunately the matter was revealed in the end, and finally Li Chuwen was executed by Concubine Xiao De.
After receiving the news of Ye Luchun's death, Tong Gonggong and Cai Ju began to get carried away again, and they once again instigated Zhao Ji to send troops to Northern Liao.
After the last defeat, Zhao Ji was a little tired of war, but he couldn't stand the rhetoric of Gonggong Tong and Cai, and decided to go on another northern expedition.
In September 1122, the Song Dynasty launched a second attack on Northern Liao, with Tong Gonggong and Cai Juju still in command, and the main general was replaced by Liu Yanqing, also from the northwest region.
This Liu Yanqing was born in a family of famous generals, and often fought against Western Xia in the northwest, so he can be said to be a fierce general.
But this person's shortcomings are also prominent, arrogant and arrogant, and the military discipline is very poor, which seems to be a common problem of the generals of the Song Dynasty in that era.
In this Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty mobilized 200,000 troops, most of which were domestic elite troops forbidden troops, and Zhao Ji was determined to win this Northern Expedition, because he did not believe that even the emperor was dead in Northern Liao.
Gonggong Tong, Host Cai, and General Liu had the same idea as Zhao Ji, but they all ignored an important piece of information.
In Northern Liao, although Yelu Chun is dead, and the current ruler of Yanjing is Concubine Xiao De, the two most powerful brothers in Northern Liao, Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan, are still there.
The situation was becoming more and more unfavorable for Northern Liao, and it was possible to perish at any time, and Concubine Xiao Defei was very worried, so she sent an envoy Han Fang to the Song military camp to ask for an armistice and peace talks again.
Han Fang, the word Gongmei, a native of Yanjing, the first Jinshi in the second year of Zhongtianqing, successively served as the right to pick up the relics, and transferred to the History Museum for revision. Tired relocation of young government and young eunuchs, Qianwen Pavilion to be systematized.
Facing Gonggong Tong and Host Cai, Han Fang generously stated: "The Jurchens encroach on the countries, if the Great Liao does not exist, it will be worried about the Southern Dynasty." Dead lips and cold teeth, you must not worry".
For Gonggong Tong and Host Cai, who are full of thoughts about recovering Yanyun and making great achievements in the world, what Han Fang said is all.
Han Fang was directly driven out of the barracks by Gonggong Tong, but he still didn't give up, and scolded loudly outside: "Liao and Song have been married for a hundred years, the oath is here, you can bully the country, and you can only deceive the heavens and evils"!
No matter how hard Han Fang tried, Gonggong Tong and Host Cai didn't plan to ignore him, Yanjing was decided!
Han Fang had no choice but to leave, but his story was not over yet.
The second Song Dynasty's attack on Yanjing began again!
However, in the early days of the Second Northern Expedition, the Song Dynasty army was surprisingly smooth, encountering no decent resistance along the way, and to the delight of Gonggong Tong and Cai Ju, a high-ranking general of the Liao State actually surrendered to them on his own initiative.
This is the first military general of the Liao State to surrender to the Song Dynasty in more than a hundred years, and this person is also a very powerful character, he is one of the leaders of the Liao State resentment army, Guo Yaoshi.
As we said earlier, the resentment army was a private armed force established by Yeluchun, and the main purpose was to fight against the Jin State, but later the resentful army had internal strife, and was beaten by the Jin State many times, and its strength was greatly damaged.
After the defeat of Tribulus Mountain, the resentful army followed Yeluchun to retreat to Yanjing and was responsible for the military defense of southern Yanjing.
After Yeluchun became emperor, he renamed the resentful army as the Changsheng Army, and Guo Yaoshi was promoted to the general of Zhuwei and continued to serve as the leader of the "Changsheng Army".
It's a pity that the good times didn't last long, and the emperor throne of the master Ye Luchun was not yet hot, so he went to see his ancestors, and Guo Yaoshi's Chang Shengjun lost its previous aura and became a barbarian army that was not welcomed by Concubine Xiao De.
Guo Yaoshi was a gambler on the battlefield, he was very good at timing his bets, and in the previous years, he bet on Yeluchun and achieved some success.
But at present, the situation at the gambling table has changed radically, as one side of the game of the Three Kingdoms, the defeat of the Liao State has been decided, and there is no chance of winning anymore.
To be a successful gambler, Guo Yaoshi must follow the right master and stand in the right camp, otherwise he will only become a martyr of the Liao State like Yeluchun.
So, our Pharmacist Guo decided to change the master, and this time he bet on the Song Dynasty, that is, Tong Gonggong.
So before the Song Dynasty army attacked, he took the initiative to dedicate Zhuozhou City and Yizhou City to Tong Gonggong.
Our host Cai has finally received the special opportunity of being welcomed by the mezzanine.
The victory came so easily that Gonggong Tong and Master Cai couldn't wait to send troops to attack Yanjing, the last stronghold of Northern Liao, and they asked General Liu to lead an army of 100,000 to attack Yanjing immediately.
In order to curry favor with his new master, Guo Yaoshi, who had just surrendered, volunteered to be a guide and led his 5,000 resentful troops to attack Yanjing together.
Seeing that victory was beckoning to him in front of him, Gonggong Tong and Host Cai couldn't control the excitement in their hearts and started preparations for celebration in the barracks.
However, the remnants of the Northern Liao forces in Yanjing City did not want to be captured, although Concubine Xiao Defei was a woman, she still inherited Yelu Chun's consistent purpose, and completely trusted Yelu Dashi and Xiao Gan, two important pillars militarily.
Hearing that the Song Dynasty took advantage of the death of his master and came to provoke again, Yelu Dashi was very angry, and he decided to teach the shameless Song Dynasty a lesson again, so he ordered Xiao Gan to lead his troops to fight Liu Yanqing.
Although Liu Yanqing's army was huge, it had no military discipline and was loose and loose during the march, which made Guo Yaoshi, who accompanied him, very worried.
Guo Yaoshi then said to Liu Yanqing: "The army marches and pulls out, without vigilance and defense, if the enemy army is ambushed in the middle, and the head and tail cannot take care of each other, they will be defeated!"
Liu Yanqing is very arrogant and arrogant, he has an army of 100,000 in his hands, and his opponent Xiao Gan only has more than 10,000 horses, no matter how he fights, he will win this kind of battle, so he refuses to listen to Guo Yaoshi's admonition at all, and still goes his own way, making Guo Yaoshi helpless.
The arrogant and arrogant Liu Yanqing will definitely pay a heavy price.
Near Liangxiang, Liu Yanqing and Xiao Gan met, and the two sides fought fiercely.
At this time, because Northern Liao had just lost its boss, the morale of the soldiers was affected to a certain extent, and their combat effectiveness was obviously not as good as the first time they fought against the Song soldiers.
However, the combat effectiveness of Liu Yanqing's army was also surprisingly poor, and the 100,000 army was actually defeated by the 10,000 Liao army.
Liu Yanqing suffered defeat in the first battle with the Liao soldiers, and the general who was vigorous in the past became a turtle with a shrunken head at this time, closed his camp and held on, and never dared to fight again.
Guo Yaoshi, who followed Liu Yanqing to fight together, was angry and anxious after seeing Song Bing's performance, he didn't expect that Song Jun's combat effectiveness was so low, and he regretted a little that he might have bet on the wrong dealer.
But the matter has come to this point, it is useless to regret it, he still has to find a way to help the Song Dynasty, otherwise his bet will be lost, so he came to Liu Yanqing's camp and told General Liu his good strategy to break the enemy.
Guo Yaoshi's good strategy is actually very simple, that is, a sneak attack, taking advantage of the fact that the armies of both sides are fighting in Liangxiang, send a small group of elite troops to sneak attack the empty Yanjing City.
