Yang Ren looked at Zhao Xingde's face with disappointment and asked, "I heard that Captain Yu is very supportive of the fact that he was rushing his troops to advance eastward. But Captain Kang opposed it." Zhao Xingde nodded and sighed. Compared with Yu Zangyun's illusory saying of the world, it was obvious that Kang Deming's proposition was recognized by more Captains.

"Although Captain Yang cannot come forward, can he guide the younger generations to persuade his colleagues in the mansion?" Zhao Xingde felt Yang Ren's kindness and humbly asked for advice. Yang Ren was silent for a moment and pondered: "The reason why the Guardian Mansion can govern the world is not because of 'persuasion'. The lieutenants come from various battalions and have their own opinions in their hearts. Captain Zhao has never met anyone before. If he wants to 'persuasion', it can be said that the road to Shu is as difficult as climbing to the blue sky."

Zhao Xingde nodded in agreement. It was more difficult to convince the captains of the Guguo Mansion to persuade the lieutenant of the Kantong Mansion to be more difficult than to persuade the literati of the Kantong. The captains were very practical in considering the issues. Every decision they made in the Guguo Mansion to explain to the soldiers in the camp. Now intervening in the Battle of Song and Liao means countless lives, money, and military funds. The soldiers and the people will bear more taxes, but there is no guarantee of compensation for the war. Everyone knows that the wealth and population of Kantong cannot be plundered and dealt with at will like to deal with barbarians. When will it be most beneficial to the Xia Kingdom to intervene in the war? On one side is the powerless world righteousness, and on the other side is heavy sacrifices and taxes. The soldiers of the Xia Kingdom are far smarter than ordinary people, and are not fools who can fool arbitrarily, and the lieutenant elected by the soldiers is even more so.

"This is also understandable. According to Confucius, those who work hard to govern others, and those who work hard to govern others. If someone can easily convince the lieutenant, the existence of the lieutenant Mansion will be completely meaningless. In the end, the lieutenant and the lieutenant will definitely be governed by others. Therefore, the lieutenant is a battlefield, with the party fighting against different parties, uniting and uniting, and winning with strength, not the place where anyone "persuaded" anyone. If the lieutenant Zhao finds something that most lieutenants sincerely agree, it is not that you "persuaded" them, but that this matter is in line with the majority of lieutenants.

"Yang Ren paused, filled the teacup in front of the two, signaling Zhao Xingde not to be polite, and continued, "I will not hide it from the fact that Yang has been in the Guguo Mansion for many years, and it is extremely rare for him to truly ‘persuade’ his colleagues. Every time he succeeds, it can only be said that he has ‘discovered’ what everyone would agree with, and then push it with the trend. Speaking of which, even if Yang does not promote these things, sooner or later, the colleagues in the Guguo Mansion will discover and adopt it. It is just that the price paid by the court will be greater."

Zhao Xingde sighed, and he also felt something about what Yang Ren said. Yang Ren sent him to the door, watching the lonely figure gradually fade away, and was about to turn around and return to the mansion, suddenly a cavalry rushed down the long street to ride his horse. Yang Ren suddenly frowned. If it weren't for the urgent military situation, it would be a heavy responsibility to gallop in the city. Seeing the cavalry rushed straight to the front, the soldier sternly pinned his mount and stepped off the horse and said, "Prince Ross colluded with barbarians to rebel, and Rom Sultan harassed the river. Please ask Yang to go to the mansion to discuss matters quickly."

At the junction of Liao and Song dynasties, the dense forests were originally built to block the Liao army from going south. However, ten years ago, the Liao Kingdom invaded Hebei and had cleared countless roads. Now, the forests not only cannot delay the cavalry galloping, but have become the best place for the Liao Kingdom's hidden army. Under the warning of layers of horse-sighted horses, behind the forests north of Baigou River, there has been a continuous camp.

"Report to Your Majesty, thousands of Song troops fought with Tiemuge's troops in Lianliang River, and the nearby Song troops have all launched aid to siege." In the imperial account, the personal soldiers lie down on the ground to submit the military report. Yelu Dashi took it and took a look, and smiled at Yelu Tiego and said, "Hebei Song generals have always been in their own formations, and now they are actually besieging Tiemuge. It seems that the Song people have been plagued by him during this period."

After Tiemuge wandered around Hebei, he still burned, killed and robbed everywhere. The Hebei Song army was so angry that his teeth were itchy, but Tiemuge was under his command, with light cavalry of several horses. Whenever the Song army arrived, the enemy had long disappeared, leaving only corpses and scorched earth. Now, the Song army in Baozhou intercepted Tiemuge in Lianliang River, and refused to let him go, and entangled him. At the same time, he notified the Song army in Zhenzhou, Dingzhou, and Baozhou to come to fight.

Yelu Tiege immediately said, "Your Majesty immediately issued an order to order the cavalry of the front army to cross the Baigou River, and to annihilate all the Song troops in the Dingbaozhou to eliminate future troubles for the southern expedition." Yelu Dashi nodded. The Liao army had been planning for this southern expedition for a long time, and more than 200,000 Liao troops had already gathered on the border of the Liao Kingdom to stare at it. According to the plan of the North Court, with the rapid benefit of the cavalry, the strong cities along the way would be best to conquer. If they could not conquer, they would only leave a small number of cavalry to monitor them. The army went south and straight

Arrived outside the city of Bianliang, conquered Bianliang, or forced the Song State to seek peace. The main force of the Song army was angry by the Meerbo cavalry and went out of the city to invite a battle, so this opportunity could not be missed. Not long after, the front army had already been dispatched. In late autumn, the large and large rivers and canals in the Song State were in a dry season. Fifty thousand cavalry easily crossed the border area and galloped towards the Lianliang River in Baozhou. Along the way, the Song army found traces of large groups of Liao cavalry, and they could only close the city gates.

After the front army set out, the central and rear army also took action. The Han army hurriedly put the heavy artillery carts on the artillery camp, and the Khitan cavalry rolled up tents and placed the baggage on the large cart. Compared with the Song army, the Liao army's baggage team moved more quickly. On the one hand, because there were many horses, donkeys and other livestock, and on the other hand, because there was no need to carry too much food and grass when going on the autumn expedition. The Liao army's food and fodder were stored in Nanjing. Now is the time when the green seedlings are mature, and the army can get fodder everywhere.

Yelu Dashi, surrounded by the cavalry of the palace tent, boarded the camel cart in the imperial tent, picked up a notice of peace and security, and looked from the beginning. According to the notice, as long as the Song people along the way did not resist, honestly handed over the food and grass, and acted as a signing army, the Liao army would not let the troops attack grass valley, nor would they kill them. Otherwise, they would forcibly collect food and grass, and those who dared to resist would be massacred. Yelu Dashi also released the ban on Han people being officials and ordered the Northern Court to prepare many blank confessions. As long as the local tyrants in Hebei could obey the Khitan, they would immediately appointed as the prefecture and county magistrates to raise food and fodder for the southern expedition army.

Along the road specially cleaned up for heavy iron barrel cannons, 20,000 palace tent troops surrounded the emperor's camel carriage and marched forward. More than ten miles south and more than a hundred miles away, wolf smoke kept rising into the air. Wherever the Liao army passed, the soldiers and civilians were frightened and prayed that this was just an ordinary cross-border grass-rat valley operation. However, the Liao army continued to move southward. Sometimes, the mainland prefectures and counties were already at the city before the Liao army invaded. The villages along the way were completely unprepared, and the people could only let the Liao army's fish and meat.

Over the years, the Hebei Song army has experienced a great defeat in Hejian, and has drawn elite troops to fight the rebellion in the south. Liu Yanqing and Wang Yan both deployed the exchange and other matters. After several troubles, their vitality was severely damaged and they could not recover. The court was also concerned about the difficulty of the border commander in the camp. Although Wang Yan was deployed by the Hebei camp, the border generals held military power. Before the imperial decree was issued, the nominal commander of the Hebei Army was difficult to coordinate the generals. Therefore, more than 200,000 Liao troops invaded and went south. The Song army was weak in power and could not leave the city to fight with them. The prefectures and counties that the Liao army passed along the way could only be closed to defend the city.

............

More than 20 days later, the Lianliang River was defeated, and the Liao army advanced south, and the vanguard cavalry had reached the north bank of the Yellow River, which caused an uproar in the Bianliang court. In addition to being frightened and uneasy, the court officials also pointed the finger at the Hebei camp and deployed Wang Yan. Several court officials impeached Wang Yan and did not send reinforcements, and sat on Baozhou, Dingzhou, and Zhending Mansion fell one after another. The official hurriedly ordered Zhang Shuye to be the chief supervisor of the Henan Cavalry and Infantry Army, leading 100,000 imperial troops in the capital, and more than 20 commands stationed in the south bank of the Yellow River to prevent the Liao army from crossing the river. He also urgently ordered the Xijing camp to send 100,000 troops to assist Bianliang. However, there seemed to be a panic everywhere in the north of the Yellow River, and no one knew what the details were.

Although there were many shocks outside, the work and rest in the Bianliang Imperial College had not changed at all. Since the resignation of the Western Capital, Emperor Zhao Ke has become much colder to Deng Su, and has not been summoned once for many days. Deng Su felt ashamed that if he had not attended court, he would have studied at home. On the contrary, the students in the Imperial College were not aware of the inside story and were still respectful to Deng Su. Sometimes even Deng Su felt that compared with before the case was revealed, the current Imperial College was much more honest. Now the country is in a turbulent state, if Chen Dong, Zhang Bing and others were going to stir up the trend again. The day before yesterday was Zhang Bing's death day, Deng Su also led his disciples to pay homage. When he thought of Zhang Minghuan, his heart felt sad. His friends from the past either died or had their own way, and Zhao Xingde was even more confused.

On this day, Deng Sukai studied the classics and verses of two disciples, and talked about the current events of the Liao army's invasion.

"Mr. Zhang Xueshi is a famous general in the world, so he will take charge of the overall situation. He should be safe, right?" Liu Wengu, a student at the top. Jia Yuanzhen said, "Zhang Xueshi was a 600,000-year-old grand birthday last year. I wonder if Lian Po is old, can he still eat?" Yuchi Cheng said angrily: "Wang Yan has 200,000 powerful soldiers, but he allowed the Liao army to invade and is now punished." Ma Yuan retorted: "When using people, how can he harm the general in front of the enemy? In my opinion, there are too few cavalry in our court and have to set up defenses everywhere. However, the Liao army's cavalry came, but he was able to criticize the cause of the slaughter of the emptiness." Wu Jinxian also agreed: "Wang Yan once defended Hejian and defeated Yelu Dashi, and commanded the army to eliminate Fang La. He was a loyal general in the world. The Liao army's invasion of Hebei was mostly not responsible for him."

The students were arguing, so they asked the teacher to make a decision. Deng Su shook his head and said in a deep voice, "There are different paths in literature and martial arts, and he has specialized in his profession. It is good to worry about the country, but the general is away from the expedition, and the king has no choice but to make up his plan. You should not speculate at will, nor can you intervene in arbitrary way. You should pay more attention to current affairs. You should know that Li Ruoxu, the leader of the University of Science and Technology, is just about your age."

Liu Wengu and others were a little embarrassed. Li Ruoxu was also a student of the Imperial College. He was usually very dull, and his articles were not very popular, and he rarely went to brothels to hang out. Unexpectedly, this year's autumn examination, he actually won the top scorer in high school. One of Deng Su's disciples passed the Jinshi, but none of the Imperial College students present won the imperial examination.
