No shortage of walls

Master Yang knew for sure that the Liao Kingdom was hopeless, and the people sent to the Yue Kingdom for help had not come back yet. The only solution now was to defend the imperial city first.

He himself has analyzed this matter. If the Song army has few people, Jizhou will be a force to divide the pressure, intending to force him to send troops to defend the capital. It was General Chang Sheng's other army that really took action, but the Song army really had a large number of people, so it became Chang Sheng's army that was the one who divided the pressure and led the troops. It was Liu Jingyun who really attacked the capital directly.

Perhaps it is not surprising that both armies should attack together.

It's just that there is not enough intelligence support, so don't tell the other side first; the emperor is too stupid; the courtiers only say one word. Even if he had some ideas, Junfu could not formulate an imperial edict and issue it. It is really difficult.

As for the spies, the Liao people rebelled against the Liao and returned to the Song Dynasty. The orthodox newspapers of the Song Dynasty wrote it very truthfully. Of course, we also suspect that it was a plan to alienate Emperor Song's son, but this kind of thing is absolutely false, and there is no evidence, so no one can dare to say it is false.

In order to attack the Liao Dynasty, it is not strange for the Song army to bribe the people of Tongliao. The experience of the Liao State in betraying Song Ru came first, but now the Song State bribes the officials of the Liao State. It is simply false to say that it is really a counter-intuitive technique. No one can be absolutely certain. The ministers of the court, people's hearts are separated from each other, and spies can't tell me how much money the Emperor of Song Dynasty gave me, how many women, how big an official I was. It's me. I am the one who surrendered to His Majesty, the orthodox emperor of the Song Dynasty.

Moreover, Song Jun said that he would let the Liao people out of the city, but only a few were released in the first wave; this was all when the intelligence was inaccurate. They were released just to spread false news. The later ones were only registered and not released yet. Regarding the situation in Jizhou City, the Liao people really didn’t know much about it. It was just what they heard in newspapers and from far away. It is too difficult to analyze these public intelligence. But the king's father is too timid, and it is difficult to tell whether the ministers in the court are from the Liao Dynasty or the Song Dynasty. There is nothing he can do about it even if he has good plans.

Jizhou was the original secret man of the Liao Kingdom. To be honest, no matter how much intelligence the Ministry of National Security has, the business will be short-lived. All those Qiu Yingda knew could be said to be overt or half-dark people, even people from the government, so the real spies of the Liao people did not do much harm. However, the orthodox newspapers said that once the Song Emperor granted so many officials to the Liao people and gave women to them, those spies who couldn't hold back for a moment went to assassinate the young man. If they were caught, the big problem would be.

After all, when it comes to being a spy, the person in the dark may not be aware of it, but as long as the person in the dark is caught, both Chang Sheng and Liu Jingyun will be tortured inhumanely to extract confessions. And it is very cruel to kill all the men of the three tribes and to betroth the women to prosper. Even if all the spies were not caught, it did have a great deterrent effect. Even if some Liao spies later knew that if they assassinated the rebel family members, they would be exposing themselves and dared not move. However, Liu Jingyun and Chang Sheng, as generals, In order to attack the Liao Kingdom, don't you know the role of spies? How could they be willing to let the other party's spies go out to reveal information about the Song Army? The city gates were all closed to prevent spies and Liao people from counterattacking. It was really difficult for Liao spies to reveal information.

As for Liu Jingyun, he always won, and even the so-called"letting people out of the city" by Li Gongshan, the prefect of Jizhou, said good words and good words. Just take a look and listen, don’t take it seriously.

Only one city was occupied at this time. As for ordinary people, as long as they were not anti-Song people and entered the Liao Dynasty, they would certainly be treated as Song people. For those who opposed the Song Dynasty, their methods were cruel and outrageous. How could you not be on guard? A notice was issued, saying that no matter what, if you leave the city, nothing will happen; if you come back and say that you are leaving, you just want to know who it is. After registering, when will you actually let people out? The main thing is that if you know who the person is, it will be easier to handle; if I don't deal with you today, will the spies from the Ministry of National Security not keep an eye on you in the future?

Who believes it?

The most important thing in a war is intelligence. At this time, the two countries are at war. The Song army released all the Liao spies who knew the intelligence, so that the other party could know how much military strength it had, what kind of weapons it had, how many horses it had, and how much food and grass it had?

Who is sick?

Just think about good things, don't take them seriously.

It’s really not a loss. is dead.

Liu Jingyun found someone who was good at writing and wrote dozens of big-character posters. In the newspapers, he added all kinds of crimes against the Liao Emperor in colluding with the traitor Song Ru, and wrote many cruel words, which made people post them in four cities. The arrow was shot out of the city, and it was said with certainty that troops would be sent out to attack the Liao Palace tomorrow. The soldiers were shouting wildly, and they were about to rush into the Liao Palace.

In the past, only half of the country did not bow to the Liao people. Today, the whole country has. The soldiers vowed to die, and they won another great victory. Their morale is high. It doesn't look fake at all. In order to prevent the Liao emperor from sending troops to besiege the victorious army. , all done very similarly.

Liu Jingyun ordered the spies in the army to pay attention to the soldiers in the imperial city of Liao. If they mobilize their troops to defend against the ever-victorious army, they and Liu Ying will send troops to the imperial city of Liao.

The Liao Emperor was so frightened that he had no choice but to defend.

On November 20th, we arrived at Xuzhou City.

Xuzhou was the largest state city in the Liao Kingdom except for the imperial palace. The guard general is called Nangong Zhentao, and he is the elder brother of Nangong Zhenbei. In the old Xia Kingdom academic rankings, he was ranked below His Royal Highness Prince Jing, the eldest prince of the Southern Song Dynasty. He was a fourth-ranked hero. He was forty-four years old, seven feet tall, and good at using a mace. As long as you are hit by him, you will not die immediately, and you will die if you go back. Just imagine that the mace is full of spikes, more than two inches long, and if it hits the body casually, there will be dozens of holes. The person who is hit will bleed all over the body; dying immediately is the most Relax, go back and die slowly, very miserable.

Some generals saw their soldiers being hit and knew they couldn't save them, so they personally cut their soldiers' throats to make them walk faster.

As soon as the ever-victorious army arrived and they had no time to set up camp, he personally led eight thousand soldiers to charge over.

There was nothing that could be done about it. Xuzhou originally had nearly 40,000 cavalry, but as soon as the Song army moved in Jizhou, the Liao Emperor was really frightened and hurriedly ordered the troops to withdraw to defend. The Secretary of the Ministry of War wrote a letter saying that General Chang Sheng's army was destroyed just halfway. Even the imperial edict was not allowed. Chang Sheng had already obtained the intelligence from the Ministry of National Security, and he arrogantly went over with 30,000 men.

At this time, Nangong Zhentao's plan was very good. Take advantage of the enemy's unstable position; it's a pity that there are few people.

Chang Sheng hurriedly met the enemy. On the contrary, the soldiers were charged by the enemy's cavalry. In a hurry, they suffered numerous injuries. By the time Chang Sheng realized what he was doing, the enemy had already turned around and gone back.

After a burst of killing, there were only about a hundred Liao people left on the battlefield, but more than a thousand of them died. However, the opponent feinted with a shot and retreated back to the city. Chang Sheng bit off all his steel teeth, but he had no choice but to urgently order him to stand firm before talking.

Chang Sheng was overconfident that the other party did not dare to send troops, and he made the mistake of underestimating the enemy. He did not expect that the other party dared to come out of the city and heard about Qiu Yingda. The Liao Emperor had already withdrawn his troops and left; Xuzhou only had 15,000 troops, so Liu Jingyun should have been ready to attack the palace, creating a situation of storming the palace and making him afraid to send troops to aid Xuzhou! This guy has 15,000 men, but he dares to attack his own 30,000 troops. However, I knew in my heart that the opponent's timing of sending troops and his quick reaction to rush and kill for a while was really clever. When he saw the soldiers, he brought back three undead soldiers who were hit by the mace, one on the left shoulder, one on the back, and one on the other side. On the waist; there is blood everywhere.
