Chanzhou was later Puyang, and this place name appeared very frequently in the history of the Song Dynasty.

Not only because of the Battle of Chanzhou.

There are also often the Yellow River breaks its dam here.

And Salt Administration. Chanzhou City is divided into two parts, one on the south bank of the Yellow River and the other on the north bank of the Yellow River. The north bank of the Yellow River was influenced by the private salt of the Liao Kingdom, so the trade law was implemented, but on the south bank it was a practical method.

Li Jilong reported that he hoped that Zhao Heng would park in Nancheng to command, and not cross the Yellow River.

But why did Song Jiu agree with Kou Zhun and let Zhao Heng fight in person? First, there were too many troops and too many rebellious generals. Even Li Jilong might not be able to command them all. With Zhao Heng in charge, it would be easier to mobilize the three armies. At least there would not be any consequences of Cao Bin's quarrel in Xiongzhou City. The quarrel was inevitable, but it would not be divided.

The second is to boost morale. This is a war of national destiny. The Song Dynasty won, the Liao Kingdom was almost over, and the Song Dynasty was defeated, and it may go to an end in advance. Even if it is a little bit advantageous, it must be used.

Third, the fish roe is large enough to attract the Liao army without allowing them to break through early so that they can expand the results in the next major battle.

But Song Jiu would not say that I would use the emperor and the priests as fish, so Li Jilong had his considerations.

After all, there are too many troops, and the city walls of Chanzhou are not tall and strong. If there is a mistake, the Liao Kingdom will take a beheading operation and the big thing will be gone. Please see another time and space where a Ming Dynasty emperor, or the upcoming Xiao Yanyan and his son...

The Song army has enough advantages, so there is no need to take this risk.

So I wrote this letter to discuss it.

After Zhao Heng finished reading it, he issued an edict to use the Nancheng Post House as the palace. Kou Zhun was anxious and said, "Your Majesty is not alone in the river, and the people are afraid of the enemy's aura. It is not the way to win the power. If you are seeking the towns in all directions, those who go to the aid have arrived, so why don't you go?"

Gao Qiong shouted: "Your Majesty is nowhere to be the river, and the people are as if they have lost their parents."

He was born as a military general, so this sentence was too rough. Feng Zheng was angry.

Gao Qiong also said: "You are the one who is in charge of the two palaces with articles. Now the enemy cavalry is full of such a thing. I still blame Gao Qiong for being rude. Why don't you write a poem to retreat the enemy cavalry?"

Song Fa once said that it is okay to use the Master's way to govern internally, but do not copy the benevolent and righteous gods on the Liao Kingdom. I do not believe that I send envoys to read Master's books and talk about Master's benevolence and righteousness to see if they will make peace with the Song Dynasty.

Feng Zheng was angry and had to reason. Gao Qiong was too lazy to pay attention to him, so he ordered the guards to push Zhao Heng's chariot onto the floating bridge.

Zhao Heng was a little stunned. No matter how you argued, at least I had to ask my opinion. What is this for? Am I still an emperor?

He didn't say anything, and the guard hesitated a little. Gao Qiong shouted again, "Why not go quickly? Now that I have come here, are there any hesitation?"

So the guards began to push the cart.

Song Jiu smiled and whispered in Zhao Heng's ear: "Your Majesty, don't blame Gao Qiong. In less than three days, the humiliation of the two late emperors will be punished by Your Majesty. Besides, no matter which minister takes this matter of virtue, it will not benefit it, but harm it. Only Your Majesty can bear it."

Zhao Heng rubbed his temples, smiled at Song Jiu without saying a word.

After crossing the floating bridge, the army continued to camp outside the city. Zhao Heng climbed the north city tower and opened the Huanglong flag. When he saw the dragon flag rising, the three armies shouted long live the mountain, and the Śrāvakas hundreds of miles. Of course, there were only dozens of miles of soldiers here in Chanzhou.

However, the news reached several other armies and cheered from all directions.

However, that night, an eunuch called Song Jiu to the temporary palace.

Liu E met Song Jiu in the palace and was still very polite to him. What should I do? She is just a beauty now and doesn’t have much say yet, at least she has no say in public. Besides, she still wants to be the queen in the future.

Through the curtain, Liu E said respectfully: "I have met Mr. Song, and I would like to thank Mr. Song for his advice that day."

"I have met Meiren Liu."

Song Jiu was also very polite, which made Liu E like it even more.

"No need to be polite. I invited Mr. Song to come. I just want to say one thing. His Majesty has been diligently managing this country over the years and has spent a lot of energy."

Song Jiu nodded. Xianping's rule was indeed not easy. Li Heng was exhausted and Chen Shu was exhausted. I believe Zhao Heng was also extremely tired.

"And Your Majesty has been sick all the time, because of his fatigue, and overwhelmed during this period, he has a severe headache..."

"Headache?"

"Yes, I had this problem when Emperor Taizong used to be, but it was not as serious as His Majesty."

"So that's how it is..." Song Jiu suddenly thought of Zhao Heng rubbing his temples on the floating bridge, but he didn't care much at that time.

"That's what Liu Meiren wants..."

"I hope Mr. Song will take more responsibility for His Majesty. In addition, he is afraid of quarrels. His Majesty is embarrassed to say that even if he uses the post house as a palace, it will not disturb the people. This place is too close to the outside of the city. Can we change to a quiet place?"

"Can."

"But don't tell outsiders about this. This is a chronic disease. If it spreads, it will inevitably cause misunderstandings and shake the country."

"I understand."

Song Jiu went out and was a little ridiculous. Of course, he knew that it was not that serious, and Emperor Zhenzong of Song had to live a long time.

However, Liu E said that he found a reason casually. He found a wealthy family in the south of the North City, moved his house out, and resettled the palace. Kou Zhun came again. This place was close to the floating bridge. Why did the emperor do? He wanted to escape.

Song Jiu whispered: "Ping Zhong, Your Majesty is slightly ill. He still came to the front of the Chanzhou army with illness. He was just afraid of quarrels, so don't think too much."

"Are you ill?"

"Miscellaneous illness, nothing wrong."

The emperor felt uncomfortable, and Kou Zhun didn't care. Then he drank with Yang Yi every night, making noise. After hearing this, Zhao Heng said happily: "With this kind of crane, why should I worry about it?"

People at that time compared to Xie An.

However, the other two important officials, Zhang Qixian and Song Jiu, discussed military affairs with Li Jilong and others day and night.

Zhao Heng said again: "If two men work hard, why should I worry?"

Anyway, if you get on the pirate ship, it’s all good to have these people to tossing.

Therefore, people at that time compared to Xiao He and Chen Ping.

If you win, everyone will be heroes.

But Song Jiu was also interesting. He spent a lot of money to buy the best wine and food in Chanzhou, so that Kou Zhun and his son-in-law Yang Yi could drink and have fun.

Zhang Qixian was dissatisfied, and Song Jiu said: "Now all the soldiers in the whole country are here. Although the forces are mostly strong, the hearts of many people are not easy to gather. Kou Zhun is happy. When the soldiers heard this, they thought that the court had the will to win, but they felt at ease. Then the top and bottom would be easy to gather."

However, he smiled bitterly in his heart. After the war, it seemed that Kou Zhun, Wang Qinruo and Zhang Qixian would definitely have a big fight.

The deeper the beams, the deeper they became, and even the Jade Emperor could not mediate them.

...

The other ways continue to shrink the pockets.

Previously, the Liao army had a large range of activities, from Dingzhou to Dingzhou, and even with the help of the freezing time, a small army entered the boundary of Huazhou. It reached the edge of Taihang Mountain in the west, and it fled to Dezhou and Bozhou in the east. However, after Cao Wei and several troops headed south and ate these small Liao army in succession, Xiao Yanyan had to order to shrink the three armies.

This made Song Jun successfully tie his pockets tightly.

Qin Han, Ma Zhijie and Yang Qiong brought two Song troops to Huangxian County, Hanoi, west of Chanzhou.

Cao Wei brought two Song troops to Nanle and Guancheng counties in the north of Chanzhou.

Now, in this area with a radius of only three or four hundred miles and a maximum diameter of no more than one hundred and fifty miles, more than 600,000 troops from the two countries have been concentrated.

But it cannot be said that Liao Kingdom lost.

The Liao Kingdom gradually became a disadvantage in terms of military strength, but most of their troops were cavalry and had strong combat power. The Song army surrounded all sides, and seemed to have a pocket, but the troops were more or less dispersed, not concentrated like the Liao army. Moreover, Xiao Yanyan also had a trump card, Cao Advance.

Cao used his own Daming Prefecture to go to the Khitan camp. Now he was brought to the city of Chanzhou. Xiao Yanyan politely talked with Cao Yong about peace talks, and then sent an envoy to enter Chanzhou City. He wanted the two countries to reconcile, but there was only one request. With Yishui as the boundary, Zijing Pass, Feihuling, Lingqiu and Paneguan, etc., he had to return it to the Liao Kingdom.

This requirement is much lower than the requirements in history, but Kou Zhun, Zhang Qixian and others are very happy.

However, Feng Zheng and others agreed that the two countries were negotiating peace, one asked for a price all over the place, and the other paid the money. The price was opened and it was still possible to bargain. It would be better if it didn't fight, what if it was defeated. As a result, the ministers in the city of Chanzhou started to argue.

Song Jiu laughed and said, "What's the difficulty? Let Cao Yong go to Liao Camp again. He told them that he could make peace, and Yan Yun must return it to my court."

"Can this be a peace talk?"

"Feng Zheng, do you think the Khitan was calling for peace while slaughtering all the soldiers and civilians in my Deqing Army City, and can we still negotiate?"

Zhao Heng waved his hand: "If you can't agree, don't talk. If the enemy is in front of you, don't make a noise."

Xiao Yanyan was shocked when she heard this. Why did the cowardly emperor of the Song Dynasty suddenly change his temperament?

Soldiers are more important to speed.

Since the Song Dynasty was going to decide the outcome, we should take advantage of the fact that they had just arrived and the formation was not in order.

Then let Xiao Talin go out and encourage the soldiers.

"Our dynasty is determined to reconcile, and even the ten counties of Guannan belonging to our dynasty are not allowed, but the Song people refused to agree and were determined to annihilate us. What do you think should we do?"

"Since our founding of the country, we have been invincible and have been invincible. In fact, the empress dowager and His Majesty were humiliated and cowardly Southerners. What do you think we should do?"

"There is a small city ahead, without a tall wall, but there are the emperors of the Song Dynasty and all the important officials who will be taken down in one fell swoop, and the Song Dynasty will be destroyed. What do you think should be done?"

Because before the decisive battle came, Li Jilong could not have brought out the bed crossbow. There was no bed crossbow, but instead replaced it with another weapon. Therefore, this guy continued to jump, which really made him feel motivated.

The war begins.

The Liao army sounded the horn of the general attack, and dense Liao soldiers rushed towards the city of Chanzhou.

"Your Majesty, please go to the top of the city," Song Jiu took Zhao Heng to a big drum on the top of the city.

"Duke Zhang, Duke Bi, Duke Kou, please draw the flag." Song Jiu asked Zhang Qixian, Kou Zhun and Bi Shi'an to stand behind Zhao Heng, holding the dragon flag.

"Your Majesty, please give Li Jilong the sword to you. If you don't obey the order, you will behead you."

"No," Feng Zheng shouted. That is, starting from Song Jiu, if anyone does not listen to Li Jilong's orders, Li Jilong has the right to kill him on the spot, including Song Jiu himself.

"Feng Zheng, what else do you want to do when the country is alive and dies!" Song Jiuda shouted: "Your Majesty, please give me the sword and order."
