Chapter 1572 Rebellion and proclaiming emperor
Xiao Hui on the horse's back looked back and watched his loyalists being killed one by one by one by the Western Xia cavalry.
These loyal people sacrificed their lives to save themselves in order to protect themselves.
Yelu Dacheng had already shot the feather arrow in his hand, so he pulled out his scimitar and rushed forward.
Soon, these people were flooded by the Western Xia cavalry.
Xiao Hui knew that the only thing waiting for them was death.
Xiao Hui ran away after the time he exchanged for his life.
"kill!"
Countless Western Xia cavalrymen came overwhelmed by the sea, and the Khitan army was killed and fled in scattered areas.
Just in response to the saying, blood flowed into a river, and the river water in the lower reaches of the Chazi River was dyed red.
Xiao Hui turned around and said that life was worse than death.
These are their Khitan soldiers and their own comrades.
Now that they all fell down, the remaining soldiers finally began to gather.
They recognized their coach, escorted Xiao Hui, and fled in a hurry.
In the battle of Zhanzihe, Xixia won a great victory.
Renduo Ding became famous in one battle, and the news spread to Xingqing Prefecture, and the whole country celebrated.
Since the Khitan invasion, they have finally won a great victory.
Yelu Zongzhen's middle army had arrived at the city of Xingqing Prefecture. His original strategy was to divide the Western Xia army into three groups.
Who would have thought that after Zhao Yuanhao's death, Xixia would be so careless, and they arrived at the city without any resistance along the way.
Yelu Zongzhen also knew that it would be impossible to break through the capital of Xixia.
Therefore, he wanted to divide the three middle and middle troops to fight the main attack, and the southern and northern marches to cover the feint attack.
If the enemy's wings have weak defense, then change from feint attack to main attack.
In short, we must take down Xingqing Mansion at all costs.
After breaking through Xingqing Prefecture, the Western Xia Dynasty was like taking a pest.
But who would have thought that Xiao Hui from the Southern Army was defeated?
This made Yelu Zong, who was in the Jiulong tent, vomit blood.
"Xiao Hui!"
Yelu Zong was so angry that he was so angry that he said: "I want to kill your nine clans!"
This time the Khitan army attacked Xixia was inevitable.
As long as the Western Xia is taken down, the Khitan will have the ability to compete with the Song Dynasty.
But who would have thought that this incompetent Xiao Hui actually lost the chain halfway, and the defeat of the Southern Army made Yelu Zongzhen’s plan to seize the Western Xia fail.
Yelu Zongzhen knew that without the flank cover of the Southern Army, he would definitely not be able to conquer Xingqing Prefecture with his central army and the northern army alone.
The war of attrition that continues to exist is unfavorable to the Khitan.
Xixia can guard the city and wait for assistance, waiting for the royal army in various parts of Xixia to enter Beijing. By that time, it will form a counter-encirclement situation against the Khitan.
The Khitan marched from afar, and the supply of food and grass was not enough. If he could not break through Xingqing Mansion in a short time, the only thing waiting for him was to withdraw his troops.
Just because of Xiao Hui's underestimation, Yelu Zong really failed in his overall plan. How could he not be angry?
Even if Xiao Hui comes back, Yelu Zongzhen must kill him.
Zhao Zhen's imperial commander in person, and the 230,000 imperial guards were finally about to arrive at the border.
Shi Xiaofan traveled with the army and continued to be his general in the West.
The distant city of Tokyo is supervised by the prince Zhao Xin.
The prime ministers in various political affairs halls assisted in government affairs. In fact, Zhao Xin, who was young, was just acting, and the government affairs in the court were handled by some ministers.
At this time, Lu Yijian was already ill at home and ignored government affairs. The Political Affairs Hall was chaired by Prime Minister Fan Zhongyan, Chen Zhizhong and Wen Yanbo.
Originally, the Song Dynasty was in peace and prosperity, and there was no difficult task to decide. Therefore, officials from all departments also performed their duties step by step.
There doesn't seem to be any major changes in the capital.
But I didn't know that the emergency delivery shop far away in Guangxi brought an extremely important event.
Someone rebelled, and not only did this person rebel, he even wanted to be emperor and founded the country.
The uprisings in the Song Dynasty began one after another, and most of them did not form a prairie fire.
There are many people who dare to rebel, but there are not many who dare to establish a country and proclaim themselves emperor.
The thief Nong Zhigao, who was far away on the Guangxi border, was done. So who is Nong Zhigao?
Nong Zhigao's father Nong Quanfu was the governor of Yuzhou. His uncle Yicunlu was the governor of Wanyazhou. Nong Quanfu's brother Nongdao was the governor of Wulezhou. Later, Nong Quanfu killed Yicunlu and Nongdao and occupied the land of the two states.
This caused Jiaozhi's dissatisfaction.
Jiaozhi sent troops to arrest Nong Quanfu and his son Nong Zhicong.
Nong Quanfu's wife Anon was forced to marry a businessman and gave birth to Nong Zhigao.
After Nong Zhigao became an adult, he killed his father and changed his surname to Nong.
Nong Zhigao inherited his father's business, occupied the party, and established the country as Dali.
Jiaozhi sent troops to capture the Party and Yuzhou again, arrested Nong Zhigao, and was later released. Jiaozhi appointed Nong Zhigao as the governor of Guangyuan Prefecture, and later transferred the four caves including Leihuodong, Pinpodong and Silang Prefecture to Guangyuan Prefecture, but Nong Zhigao hated Jiaozhi very much.
In the first year of Huangyou, Nong Zhigao sent troops to attack Andezhou successfully, established the Southern Heaven Kingdom, changed the reign to Jingrui, and asked to submit to the Song government, but the Song court completely disagreed with Nong Zhigao's request.
Therefore, Nong Zhigao began to oppose Song Dynasty this year.
Originally, this was a civil strife in Jiaozhi Kingdom and had nothing to do with the Song Dynasty.
But this person openly founded the country and proclaimed himself emperor, which is something that cannot be tolerated.
What does it mean to be an emperor? The emperor is the only orthodox.
There was only one Emperor Zhao Zhen of the Song Dynasty. Even Zhao Yuanhao of Xixia did not dare to be called emperor, but just became the king of Xixia.
Considering the Khitan power and its close relationship with the Song Dynasty, in order to avoid the disgust of anti-Song forces in the Khitan territory, the Song Dynasty agreed to the Khitan's request to retain the imperial title.
Dali is an honest child and has always followed Da Song's advice.
From the beginning of the founding of the country, the emperors of Dali were basically pro-Song policies, so the Dali Kingdom also retained the imperial title.
Yelu Zong was really the Khitan emperor, but he had already resigned to the Song Dynasty.
Since Jiaozhi was beaten to the ground by the Yang family generals, he did not dare to rashly proclaim himself emperor, but instead claimed that he was the king and appointed him as a minister to Song.
You are a small rebel, it would be fine if you want to establish a country and become an emperor, but you are actually called the Southern Heaven Kingdom.
This clearly means not taking the Song Dynasty seriously, the Han people pay attention to orthodoxy.
At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, the Three Kingdoms were in chaos, and Cao Cao did not dare to be called emperor.
Zhu Yuanzhang, the founding emperor of the Ming Dynasty, also adopted the policy of accumulating grain and slowing his reputation as king at the beginning.
You, Nong Zhigao, who came out of nowhere, actually wanted to be the emperor and even called yourself the Southern Heaven Kingdom.
The Song Dynasty naturally disagreed and did not recognize the title of Nong Zhigao.
So Nong Zhigao raised his troops to rebel against the Song Dynasty. In May, he founded the country and became emperor and changed the reign. The country he founded was originally called "Dali" and then "Nantian". After entering Yongzhou, he changed his name to "Dananguo", and called himself Emperor Renhui, and changed the year name to Qili.
The problem is that after learning the news, the Song army on the Guangnan border sent troops to encircle and suppress them, but was defeated by Nong Zhigao many times, which can be regarded as the incompetence of the Song army.
The news reached the capital, and the court was in an instant.
All the officials asked the prince of the regent Zhao Xin to ask the prince to give him an idea.
