The Northern Han Kingdom was smaller than the Southern Tang Dynasty and Shu Kingdoms, but once this small country was moved, it attracted more attention than all countries.
The double-eaved city towers, buildings and streets in Youzhou are all signs of Han civilization, but there are a large number of Hu people in the city, with hair, animal skins, and big earrings everywhere in the world.
Even the Han people dressed differently from the Central Plains, and the direction of the exchange was the opposite.
People have long been accustomed to the Hu people and will never be surprised by the Khitans and Xi people in strange costumes; even many Han people saw such a scene when they were born... The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun were officially transferred to the Liao Kingdom in the (later) Jin Dynasty, and it has been 26 years since they were born.
Even Huhua in Hebei took longer. The Tang Dynasty intended to complete the general trend of national integration, but it was not completed for a long time. In the end, the national policy completely collapsed and the national destiny declined.
The same scene was the same in the official residence of the King of the South Courtyard, with Hu people and Han people.
A general named Xiao Abudi next to him said coldly: "The Southern People" had healed his scar and forgot the pain. So quickly he forgot the Jin Dynasty's destruction of the Liao Dynasty. Attacking the Northern Han Dynasty was a public provocation of the Liao Dynasty.If you sweat a lot...
Xiao Siwen immediately interrupted the person from the same clan: There is still a difference between Guo Blacksmith and Shi Chonggui. Even if it is an enemy, we cannot underestimate the enemy.
The Liao Kingdom is now lazy in everything and is not as tough as before. Many nobles are unwilling and resentful, but Xiao Siwen cannot let his fellow tribes show dissatisfaction with the emperor in front of him.
Xiao Siwen had suffered from Guo Shao's losses in Zhuozhou before, causing heavy losses to the Liao army, so he could curse and hate Guo Shao, but he would never say that Guo Shao was weak... If he was defeated by a very weak person, wouldn't he say that he was weaker?!
Although Xiao Siwen was in charge of military power in the Southern Court and was considered a military general, his father was the prime minister of the Liao Dynasty. The Xiao family was even the prime minister of the Liao Dynasty, so he was naturally not a person who did not understand strategy.
No one came to Beijing to issue an order. We should take care of this matter (the Northern Han was attacked)?A Khitan general muttered.
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen said seriously: Remember, the national power of the Great Liao Dynasty is connected to everyone!Without the power of the Great Liao Dynasty, let alone enjoying the output of land such as Youzhou and Bohai, we may not even have a foothold in the world.Since the founding of the Northern Han Dynasty, we have regarded our dynasty as the sect leader. This land has lost its prestige to the entire Liao Dynasty. Moreover, the position of the Northern Han Dynasty is important and is related to the long-term offensive and defensive momentum.If Guo Blacksmith takes the Northern Han Kingdom today, how can he not see Youzhou?
After hearing this, Abudi said angrily: Since the Liu family in the Northern Han Dynasty cannot fight, they ask for help and drag us down almost every year, but behind their backs, they just want to use the Liao Dynasty to protect themselves.The Han people just can’t rely on it!
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen looked back at the Han officials present, most of them were silent.
Now he said: This is biased and cannot tolerate how people become a great country, how can they have the great Liao Dynasty today?How can all ethnic groups live in harmony in Youzhou?
As soon as he made a statement, the expressions of the Han officials changed.
Xiao Siwen felt that many Khitan nobles just couldn't control people, and they still did the same after occupying Youzhou for many years. After the Liao Dynasty continued to improve the system, the nobles still stood by themselves and treated the Han people completely as slaves, but they often backfired.
Xiao Siwen has been trying to change these strategies as the Queen of the Southern Court. He feels that he can't be impatient for anyone. It is a long-term way to be kind and power... This kind of experience is like the woman Bai Shi he snatched. Because Xiao Siwen showed an accepting attitude, did Bai Shi stay in the mansion for so many years, and even his hairstyle and clothing gradually accept the habits of the Khitan?
If she had been imprisoned and abused as a livestock, she would have been thinking about running away!
These Han officials are all people living in Youzhou. Xiao Siwen gave them a way to survive. Without being able to change the situation in Youzhou, they would not always want to beat the two of them to death.
As long as people are not at a dead end, they know how to compromise.
What's more, Xiao Siwen understands Chinese dialect and reads poetry and books, which is very good at winning over the Han people.
At this moment, a Han official clasped his fists and said: The lower official has a word...
Xiao Siwen immediately made a humble attitude of accepting advice and asked: Mr. Fan, but he said it was okay.
The Han official named Fan Mingyi, and immediately said with a loyal expression: The emperor agrees with the king's far-sighted vision. Protecting the Liu family of the Northern Han Kingdom is of great benefit and crucial to the Great Liao Youzhou!The best strategy is to deal with Zhou State and let them constrain their civil war.Shu Kingdom and Southern Tang were too far away to help, but the Northern Han Dynasty could not be easily lost; if the Central Plains were unified, the foresight of the subordinate officials was the same as the king, and the next step was to face the threat of the Zhou army in Youzhou!
Although the Liu family in the Northern Han Dynasty was too weaker than the Zhou Kingdom, Jinyang City was a powerful city, with a strong city, easy to defend and difficult to attack, and has been a major threat to the Central Plains for decades; its role was not as unbearable as General Abudi said.The disaster of the enemy country is the advantage of the Great Liao.The subordinates made suggestions and thought about the overall situation. The king should write to the emperor, sending troops from Youzhou to reinforce Jinyang; while asking troops to reinforce Youzhou, just in case the Northern Han Dynasty was in trouble, and prepare for Youzhou early!
After hearing this, Xiao Siwen praised it very much and said with a sincere tone: Youzhou is a state of Youzhou people. Although you are Han people, you are different from Han people in the Central Plains.Now the Japanese king will be your own people. In the Central Plains dynasty, can they really treat you as your own people and not beware of it?To be honest, you can be an official in the South Court and enjoy wealth, but you may not have your place in the Central Plains court.
Xiao Siwen was able to judge whether the Han officials' plans were loyal. He deeply agreed with what Fan Mingyi said that Jinyang Xiongcheng was a major trouble in the Central Plains. Since there was a strong city to hold up the Zhou army, how could he not do his best to protect that nail?
He immediately said decisively: Let me write to Beijing immediately and ask for an order to send troops!All generals should gather their troops as soon as possible and prepare to go to war.
This time, Xiao Siwen did not dare to take action first and report. The last time he sent troops to rob, it seemed almost risk-free and was also to support Li Yun for the sake of the overall situation. However, he immediately went to Beijing and sent Yang Gun to inspect, which forced Xiao Siwen to pay attention.
On the other hand, he also wanted to prepare for the future and increase his troops in Youzhou in advance, so his troops naturally had to rely on the Beifu (Shangjing) to reinforce.
He paused and said: Jinyang is the front post of Youzhou; saving Jinyang is to defend Youzhou!
……
The gathering of troops outside Jinyang, the capital of the Northern Han Kingdom, made the monarchs and ministers of the Northern Han Kingdom feel tremendous pressure.This battle for the country protection is no less light than Chai Rong's army of hundreds of thousands of troops siege Jinyang after the Battle of Gaoping.
The last time the founder of the Northern Han Dynasty died after the war because he was exhausted by the siege.
This time, Liu Jun, the lord of the Northern Han Dynasty, was still not relaxed. He worked hard day and night, and he has never worked so hard since he ascended the throne. Perhaps people were forced out.
He convened the ministers to discuss countermeasures and tried every means to protect himself!
But now, after all, there are only one way to defend the city and wait for the Liao army to rescue. There are indeed not many choices.
Zhao Kuangyin, who was also in Jinyang City, tried every means to get reuse. He found Feng Jinke and met Prime Minister Guo Yuanwei, but he had no news.
I had to feel the tense atmosphere of life and death in Jinyang at this time, but I waited at home.
The old house, it was drizzling outside the window, and the torn window paper blew up by the cold wind, just like Zhao Kuangyin's mood at this time.
Since birth, there have been very few such a bad mood.
He was a man who could control the army and even saw higher power. What he was most unbearable for such an experience was that he could not control his own destiny!
The feeling of being related to one's survival but one can only watch and put it in the hands of others makes him restless.
Zhao Kuangyin stood in front of the window for a while, then sat on the chair with a dark face, rubbed his hands and did some trivial movements.
At this moment, the Great Zhou army was separated by a city wall. Zhao Kuangyin couldn't help but think: What would happen if he was caught?
It can be reasonably inferred that you will definitely not be able to survive, and then you will be killed by the whole family!
When hatred accumulates to a certain level and you don’t have to worry about being sanctioned when you revenge, few people will be so tolerant... Zhao Kuangyin recalls Guo Shao’s character and does not feel that he should be deceived by the superficial benevolence and righteousness. Guo Shao has not yet killed the Zhao family for the time being, because of the past, it is nothing more than learning from the car!
Emperor Yin of Han was just a Hu businessman. Before the most threatening Guo Wei was arrested and brought his soldiers, he killed Guo Wei's family!What will happen if the result is?
Zhao Kuangyin looked up at the gray and dark sky outside the window, guessing Guo Shao's feelings. This person must have hated him a lot, and he also had a vague sense of awe... But it was the most terrifying person with awe!
Guo Shao is very calm and knows the timing very well; if he thinks that he cannot kill the enemy with one blow and cannot fight back with revenge, he will never be willing to take action easily.
He looked sad, stretched out his hand and scratched his hair a few times, and muttered in a low voice: I really took a look at it. People should look at it from small things... Looking back today, when he thought about it, he should understand his character when the first murder case was done by this person back then...
Zhao Kuangyin is usually kind to others and is very capable of attracting people around him. He is born with a big brother, but he is not a kind old man in his bones. He can't look at what he says or acts, but he has to look at what he does. This is the same as Guo Shao, so Guo Shao is benevolent and righteous when he speaks silently. Is he a good person?
(The first thing Zhao Kuangyin did after ascending the throne in history was to kill the Zhao family's feud and the Yan family.)
So Zhao Kuangyin understands Guo Shao very well to a certain extent. As the saying goes, the enemy is the real confidant.
He really didn't want to sit still and wait for death, and he felt very unwilling.
However, after the failure, he still maintained his style of character and reputation for a long time. This probably means that he has not fully realized his own situation and is reluctant to leave his mind with a bright future.
Now, Zhao Kuangyin finally truly realized that... it is absolutely impossible to regain his previous ambitions and future!I'm done!
In this situation, he suddenly realized that he had done something wrong and felt regretful: the little strength left in his hand was useless, because he never had the chance to turn around and was not worth nostalgia; in this life, he could only hide from others and live in peace!
Just like a wanted criminal with a murder case in hand, it is even more serious than that.
And now, once Jinyang is broken, it will be lost when it is arrested! What did you stay here for taking into account the remaining brothers and people?
The double-eaved city towers, buildings and streets in Youzhou are all signs of Han civilization, but there are a large number of Hu people in the city, with hair, animal skins, and big earrings everywhere in the world.
Even the Han people dressed differently from the Central Plains, and the direction of the exchange was the opposite.
