Zhao Heng was released from the palace very early, so he saw with his own eyes the trauma brought by wars. Whenever the Song Dynasty recovered some vitality, whenever his father was careful to manage, the peace gradually became better under the control of his father. However, a war destroyed all the construction results of several years, and many families were separated and their families were destroyed.

Therefore, he instinctively abominable war.

Moreover, the surrounding environment of the Song Dynasty was indeed getting better at this time. After Li Huan usurped the throne, he defeated Hou Renbao, but he knew in his heart that he could not fight against the powerful Song Dynasty and immediately sent envoys to submit. Dali didn't care, but they stayed in the southwest without advancing or retreating, and there was no harm. The barbarian tribes around the Song Dynasty, and even the distant Western Regions, had tribes and small countries to vote. They didn't ask whether to vote for real or fake ones, but there were no invasions or riots in recent years.

There is no more Xixia.

A few years ago, Yin Xian, Wang Xian and Li Jilong were in the northwest. These people each had their own shortcomings. Li Jilong was not good at civilized governance, but he could only fight in the northwest. Yin Xian had a little short-sighted look and Wang Xian was a little greedy.

However, in the northwest, Li Jilong was the number one general of the Song Dynasty and his uncle. Wang Xian was once the prime minister of the Western Prefecture of the Song Dynasty. "The seeds are very expensive", so everyone was convinced, and even Beihetao had to gradually integrate into the Song Dynasty over the years.

Without the harm of Western Xia, even Song Jiu became slack.

This external environment led to further prosperity of the Song Dynasty's economy.

Moreover, Chen Shu was very good at operating. He was transferred to the Minister of Revenue for his political achievements. Zhao Heng ordered him to report the treasury information, but Chen Shu was reluctant to report it. Chen Shu said helplessly: "Your Majesty is rich in spring and autumn. If you know that the treasury is full, you may become extravagant. Therefore, I dare not enter."

Zhao Heng was stunned for a moment. Is this a reason?

Then I was very happy. After a few words of praise, I really didn't ask. The reason was very simple, which proved that the national finances were very good and very good! I didn't dare to report them to myself, for fear of becoming proud.

However, Chen Shu respected Song Jiu more and more.

It is not a solution to put so much money, grain and silk in the treasury. The loss is just an astonishing number, but now that the banking department has a place to go and get a considerable interest. But I respect the emperor again. During the Zhidao period, the country's economic situation was still a bit tense, only a few years. Even so, I would like to thank Zhao Heng for his governance.

However, compared with Xiao Yanyan, Zhao Heng was a military weakness.

He didn't want to fight, so some officials suggested that when Sichuan reopen the city wall, Zhao Heng rejected it and said, "The country is in virtue, not in danger." He even wanted to get along with the Liao Kingdom."

We don’t want Yan Yun anymore, and you don’t go south to invade.

Military shortcomings have also led to personnel changes.

Originally, the strongest in the north of the Song Dynasty was one east and one west, and the strongest in the east, Hebei was the strongest in Hebei, but Zhang Qixian led the leader. This person was really not very big in the East Prefecture, not as good as Lu Mengzheng, but he had a lot of vision in military affairs and dared to fight, so he won the Tudengzhai victory.

And Hebei has many elite soldiers and generals.

This is also forced.

The northwest Hexi was also very strong, and it was also forced. The Song Dynasty gradually digested the Nanhetao and began to digest the Beihetao. It was condescending and directly threatened the mountain behind. At the same time, Hexi could train cavalry and had to step up its warning.

There is also Hedong, and there is Shi Pu in Hedong. He has a little experience, but there is also Gao Qiongshuo assist. In addition, Hedong's unique terrain, the Liao Kingdom has no choice but to do anything about this.

However, after all the mobilizations, things have long changed.

Moreover, Zhao Heng succeeded to the throne. In front of Xiao Yanyan, Zhao Heng could only be regarded as a furious child.

Therefore, in the third year of Xianping, Xiao Yanyan decided to lead his troops to fight in person.

However, the Song Dynasty quickly received news, so Zhao Heng had to issue an edict to use Fu Qian as the town and set up the Gaoyang Pass camp. However, this time, Zhang Zhaoyun was not Pan Mei's son-in-law, so the deputy general was replaced by Cao Bin's eldest son Cao Can, and the forwards were Tian Shaobin, Shi Pu and Yang Qiong, and the eunuch Qin Han as the chief supervisor of the formation.

Fu Qian is also a veteran, and the next five people are more fierce than the other, especially the Qin Eunuch. Besides, there is also a famous general Fan Tingzhao in Dingzhou.

Then he summoned 200,000 imperial guards himself and personally fought north.

This surprised Song Jiu. If Zhao Heng was so brave, how would he explain that Brigadier Kou pushed him to Chanzhou?

The war broke out in late September.

But it did not start from Hebei, nor was it a war between Song and Liao, but Hedong and Hexi.

Before the war, Xiao Yanyan secretly sent people to deceive the Qiang and Huang female tribe of Hexi. Their clan leader Meng Yibao and Li Jiqian's subordinate Chuoe, who was forced to surrender to the Song Dynasty, suddenly rebelled and invaded Wanhu Valley in Linzhou.

The strategic goal is very simple. If you can advance, you can advance. If you cannot enter, you will cross the Yellow River immediately. To the east is the back of the Liao Kingdom Mountain, which is used to restrain the forces of the Hedong and northwest of the Song Dynasty.

Over the years, many tribes have become more concerned about the Song Dynasty. After all, the Song Dynasty's policies are softer. Song Jiu's development of the northwest wool trade routes and relaxing salt administration can also bring great benefits to the people of all ethnic groups in the northwest.

However, some tribes are unhappy because they lose their power.

Therefore, one is prepared and the other is unprepared, which made Meng Yibao gather many soldiers.

The prefecture Zhe Weichang, cousin Zhe Haichao and his younger brother Zhe Weixin sent troops to fight in Songhua Village. The battle was very bad, including Zhe Haichao and Zhe Weixin's deaths one after another, and Zhe Weichang fought hard to break through. But at this time, because the Song Dynasty captured Panguan and Shenwu City, and Hedong and Northwest connected to the front line, Liu Wenzhi and Song Sigong and others quickly sent troops to rescue and fought at Jingfeng. This was a devastating battle. Not only were there many Song soldiers stationed in Shenwu area, but there were also a large number of cavalry in Nanhetao. Tens of thousands of Song soldiers surrounded them from all directions, half of which were cavalry. Meng Yibao's army was wiped out, and no one could escape.

During the battle between Jingfeng, Xiao Yanyan achieved her wish, which to some extent restricted the Song army in the two regions.

The Song Dynasty gained some benefits slightly, and this battle unyieldingly eliminated the unstable factors in this area in one fell swoop.

The Battle of Hebei begins.

In the Baozhou area, there were many swamp lakes to the east of Xiongzhou. The Song Dynasty also dug many new lakes in Xiongzhou due to Yang Liulang's suggestion, and the Song Dynasty dug many new lakes and carried the green Great Wall, which made it inconvenient for the Liao army cavalry to run.

The magistrate of Baozhou is Yang Si, who is a powerful general. Similarly, Tian Shaobin and Shi Pu also came to Baozhou. The three of them decided to take the initiative.

That night, Shi Pu and Yang Si crossed the Lianliang River with their men and attacked 100,000 Liao troops at night.

However, the combat effectiveness of the two countries in the military history of cold weapons has almost reached its peak. The Song army is not afraid of night battles, and the Liao army is not afraid of night battles. Although the two generals are brave, they are still besieged by the Liao army. At this critical moment, Tian Shaobin led his army to aid, broke through the siege, and killed thousands of Liao troops at the same time.

Seeing that Baozhou was not easy to chew, Xiao Yanyan turned to the Weilu Army in the northwest of Baozhou, and dominated the city in Suicheng.

The Weilu Army knew that the army was Yang Liulang. He also had two thousand powerful Beiwei Army in his hands, but except for these two thousand Beiwei Army, there were only one thousand garrison soldiers.

In the battle of Tanghe, Jingsai Army achieved great success. There were more than 10,000 Song troops in the rear, and Li Jilong, a military god who dared to take responsibility.

What do you have in your hands now?

So Yang Liulang withdrew his troops to protect the city and asked Fu Qian for help from the rear.

But after waiting, the shadow of a reinforcement could not be seen.

More than a month later, although Suicheng used cement stones as the city wall, under the attack of the Liao Kingdom, the city wall was already broken. Just when it was in danger, Yang Liulang had an idea and drew water as the wall.

The next day, the Liao army woke up. When they saw the city walls of Suicheng, they were stunned. The silver light flashed and crystal clear. Then they put the ladder up and slipped down with a little force... There is no way to fight this, let's go. It's not that easy to leave. Just when the Liao army was about to withdraw, Yang Liulang led the Beiwei army to fight out.

This army was not his strength in defending the city, and he had already been holding back his anger.

He killed the Liao army and fell into the water. The main force of the Liao Kingdom wanted to return, so Yang Liulang calmly took the Beiwei army and retreated back to the city.

But there were less than 10,000 Song troops participating in these two battles. Where are the 80,000 troops in Hebei?

Zhao Heng did not set off immediately. He had been in peace for a long time. It was not a matter of overnight mobilization of so many troops. Moreover, he had to prepare a large amount of supplies, food and grass.

He calmly hosted the winter festival this year, but his calmness made the people of the north feel at ease.

It was not until late in the winter that the army of the army began to set out and ordered Li Han to be the reigning capital of Tokyo. Li Zhu was the deployment of the Da Nei Capital. Quan Zhizhi was the commander of Wei Yu, the commander of the Kaifeng Prefecture, Chen Shu was the transfer commander of the three corpses, and Zhang Yongde, the commander of the Xijing of the Taishi Division, as the inspector of the capital inside and outside the capital, Zhou Ying was the deployment of the former army, Liu Zhixin, the commander of the Yongzhou Observation, Yang Yongzun, the commander of the eunuch, was the commander of the formation, Baoping Jiedu, the governor of the son-in-law of the son-in-law of the army, Shi Baoji, the commander of the north camp, Kang Tinghan, the commander of the defense of Cizhou, and Shangguan Zheng, the commander of the Mingzhou Tengzhou, was the commander of the commander.

The huge personal army slowly marched towards Daming Mansion.

But at this time the front line is becoming more and more critical.

There are really many brave generals in Hebei, but Zhao Heng doesn’t need to personally attack. As long as Li Jilong is transferred to Hebei and use the elite soldiers and generals from Hebei, they can defeat Xiao Yanyan.

However, this coach...

The Liao army entered Baozhou and was not conducive to the Weilu army, but Xiao Yanyan immediately realized that it was strange, why there was no Song army to rescue him in the rear? After thinking for a long time, haha, the army rushed south.

The western part of Hebei is a mountainous area and there are many swamps in the east, but the central part is all open plains. At that time, building such a solid fort was to defend and launch a regional attack, and drag the Liao army step by step to prevent it from moving south.

In this way, defensive formation.

The Liao army went south and the joint defense began. However, Fu Qian used these solid forts to withdraw the army into the forts, suspended the battle cards, and refused to fight. No matter who asked for a fight, Fu Qian would not agree. As the military supervisor, Qin Han would not make a request, and Fan Yanzhao, the former head coach of Dingzhou, who had been famous for a long time, would not make a request for a fight. As the original number one main general in Hedong, Shi Pu and Song Jiu, the son-in-law of Yang Liulang, who had a much better position than in history, was also scolded to be so angry.

Deputy General Cao Can couldn't sit still and asked why.

Fu Qian replied calmly: "The enemy came in one go and had a strong combat power. When we go out to fight, our sharpness will be damaged..."

Cao Can was hurt by Fu Qian's words.
