When Yelu Xizhen set out, the scouts of the Song Dynasty were not able to detect, but after arriving at the mountain, the scouts must have known that the Liao army had arrived.

In fact, the two people Song Jiu didn't want to come the most were Yelu Xiu Ge. Although he was defeated twice by Li Jilong and defeated the altar, Song Jiu would still have a headache when he really came. And it also forced Li Jilong to make a difficult choice, whether to attack or not, even if it was a shallow attack, the front line was too long and it was still in the enemy's territory.

The second is Yelu Xizhen. His achievements are not as good as those of Yelu Xiuge, but carefully analyzed that Yelu Xizhen has never been defeated once. Even in various unfavorable situations, he can make the three armies retreat calmly. Such generals are no less headache than Yelu Xiuge.

Fortunately, before, I made analysis and arrangements in the face of various possibilities.

Yelu Xizhen rushed over fiercely, and Wang Chao quickly led the Song army to retreat south to Dashizhai, Ruyuezhai and Huguzhai, and then divided the troops from the three camps to other camps to ensure safety in the rear.

The remaining troops retreated in great strides, immediately threw away Yingzhou, and retreated westward into Huanzhou.

At this time, many Yingzhou people had no time to let them retreat into the Song territory.

Yelu Xizhen quickly rushed to the city of Yingzhou.

However, what happened in Yingzhou City made Yelu Xizhen stunned.

Almost 90% of the houses were burned out, and all the materials in the city could be taken away by the Song army or the people who fled to the Song Dynasty, and all the things that could not be taken away were burned to ashes.

There were still many people, but their eyes were dull and they didn't know what to do. Many people at the border ignored Yelu Xizhen's obstruction and continued to climb over Hengshan and fled to the Song Dynasty. There was nothing left. It was not that they yearned for the Song Dynasty, but that they had nothing in their hands. Only in the Song Dynasty could they survive.

People are resources.

Yelu Xizhen certainly could not let these people leave Yingzhou. He sent people to intercept them and transferred food from Weizhou to allow these people to live.

But what made Yelu Xizhen angry was not the burning of the city, but the Song army did too much, including most of the familiar crops outside the city, burned.

Yingzhou was not the south of the Song Dynasty, and it could be cooked twice or even three times a year.

These crops are burned and you want to harvest them again, it will be until next year.

Yelu Xizhen also forgot at this time. Compared to the Liao army's operations in Hebei, what is the Song army?

"What a rescue of the people of Yanyun!" Yelu Xizhen ridiculed Zhao Kuangyi's false kindness and kindness.

But that's fine, these Chinese people will give up from now on.

After sending people to take the opportunity to incite the people to hate the Song Dynasty, Yelu Xizhen rushed to Huanzhou City again.

Another Song army is also retreating.

Yin Xian and Wang Chengmei led their troops to evacuate Yunzhou slowly. Yelu Xizhen came from the Sanggan River. However, no one knew whether there would be a large army to rush towards Yunzhou. Yunzhou was too deep. It was not a good place for a decisive battle. Therefore, they divided one first and retreated to Dongshengzhou. The small city was completely destroyed, so they were stationed on Chier Mountain and Gongshan near Dongshengzhou City. The remaining troops were stationed in the city. The other was stationed on Baideng Mountain outside the city, waiting for an opportunity to stand by.

...

Song Jiu looked around.

The generals include Yang Si, the black-faced king Yin Jilun, Yang Ye, and Zhe Yuqing.

Among them, Yang Si was a little less famous. The other three were all famous. However, before leaving, Pan Mei said that Yang Si was no less than Yin Jilun. It was not because of his ability to fight. In that case, Yin Jilun, Yang Ye and Zhe Yuqing could kill Yelu Xizhen in seconds, which refers to the ability of the commander.

Therefore, Song Jiu had no confidence to fight in the distance, but it was impossible to retreat like this. The construction in the rear was not completed. To win time, the three armies also needed morale incentives, and they had to fight at the same time, otherwise they would face the subsequent defeats of Yelu Xizhen.

So Song Jiu placed the battlefield on the river valley east of Shuozhou City.

From Shuozhou to the east, the Sanggan River Valley became wider, and the flat terrain facilitated the two huge armies to engage in a large battle.

Here, all conspiracies and conspiracies will be forced to be placed on the table.

Song Jiu looked at the other generals and the vast army in the distance, and he only said softly: "The country is humiliating the king and the ministers, and I will fight the enemy with you!"

"The country is humiliating the king and the ministers are killed!" The three armies shouted.

With these loud and angry shouts, nearly 40,000 troops drove out of Shuozhou City and slowly headed to the Sanggan River Valley. Where was a powerful Liao army coming in a fierce manner.

This fighting situation made Yelu Xizhen disliked it very much.

However, he had no choice but to force the war, otherwise the people of Yunzhou would be almost captive by the Song people.

Two equally high morale troops began to confront each other in the valley.

Song Jiu looked around and asked Yin Jilun: "General Yin, do you dare to go out to fight first?"

"Here."

Yin Jilun led five thousand troops to attack the Liao army.

"Black-faced King?" Yelu Xizhen looked at Song Jun with the captured Song Jun telescope.

He looked at his left and right, then looked at Xiao Talin and said, "Second deployment, how might he dare to kill this person for my Daliao?"

"Here."

Xiao Talin and his troops met up.

The two brave generals quickly collided and fought each other.

Song Jiu looked at Yang Ye again and asked, "General Yang, can you fight for me?"

"Here."

Yang Ye rushed out with thousands of troops.

Yelu Xizhen waved his hand and another brave general of Liao Kingdom, Yelu Guanu, welcomed him. This man had a small blow to Yang Ye when Yang Ye harassed Shuozhou a few years ago.

Soldiers vs. generals vs. generals, this is a standard typical decisive battle.

The two sides were divided into enemies, and Song Jiu frowned. Yin Jilun and Yang Ye were more brave than command ability, and more shocking than actual combat ability. If they continued to fight like this, it would obviously be unfavorable to the Song army. So soon ordered the two generals to withdraw.

Yelu Xizhen also frowned. If he continues to fight like this, it will be even more unfavorable for him. He may have the upper hand in the river valley. However, the Song army has stronger forces than him. If the stalemate continues, it will be detrimental to him sooner or later.

The two of them had their own thoughts to let the three armies rest.

The next day, the two armies continued to fight.

However, at this moment, Yelu Xizhen made a bold gambling, which was to bet on Song Jiu's command ability in front of the battlefield. Like Yin Jilun, Song Jiu was also famous outside. The significance of shock is far greater than the actual ability to lead troops.

While several generals were fighting on the battlefield, Yelu Xizhen suddenly pushed forward.

Song Jiu frowned. He suddenly made an amazing decision and looked at Zhe Yuqing and said, "General Zhe. Come and dispatch the three armies."

Zhe Yuqing was stunned for a moment, but he was a Qiang native and had been in the border for a long time and was not involved in many bad habits in the officialdom. After thinking about it, he actually took over.

This is of great significance, it means how trust the court trusts the Zhe family!

Zhe Yuqing's son Zhe Weizheng, Zhe Weichang and others took the lead in killing the Liao army, and Zhe Weichang was shot two arrows. The battle was still tragic until the end of the battle.

Both sides suffered heavy sacrifices, and each fell down thousands of soldiers. In the end, Song Jiu had to withdraw his troops hastily.

But Song Jiu was not ineffective in this battle. He stood under the throne of the main army. Even though the Liao soldiers rushed to him for a while, Song Jiu did not move. Seeing Song Jiu like this, the three armies were excited, so Yelu Xizhen was properly commanded, but the morale of the Song army was offset by the harsh morale. Even when Song Jiu ordered a truce, Yelu Xizhen had to order the retreat to rest.

However, today is not a good time for a decisive battle.

In the north, a powerful cavalry was rushing towards Shuozhou.

Yang Qiong and Zhang Ning came with Yunzhou's troops.

But such a large battlefield may not necessarily have the upper hand if there is too much force. Often a small command mistake will have fatal consequences, offsetting the advantage of force.

But at this time, Yelu Xizhen suddenly withdrew to Huanzhou City with his three armies.

There were gains and losses in this battle, and Yelu Xizhen did not defeat the Shuozhou Front Army as he wished. However, he broke some myths of Yin Jilun's Black-faced King.

Song Jiu was obviously not satisfied with the result of this battle, and his soldiers were almost the same. Half of the Liao army was the elite cavalry of the Liao Kingdom, and the Song army was also an elite army. It was more impressive to the Song Dynasty. However, no matter Song Jiu or other generals, his command ability was not comparable to Yelu Xizhen, which offset the general's advantage. Even the wolf pack tactics that Song Jiu deliberately trained did not dare to use. This person came to the mountain again, which would cause great headaches for the Song army in the future. But he gained a lot and won more time. Especially after the cooperation of this battle, the Zhewang family and many Qiang soldiers seemed to be able to gradually integrate with the Song army, which was what Song Jiu wanted to see the most.

The three armies were stationed in Shuozhou City and looked at the Liao army in Huanzhou.

Countless people in the rear continued to evacuate to the Song territory every day.

Yelu Xizhen was extremely anxious when he saw this situation, but he could only wait.

Xiao Paiwei brought 70,000 to 80,000 Liao troops from the rear and rushed to Yunzhou.

But when he arrived, the Battle of Shuozhou had passed by more than ten days.

Two Liao troops rushed to Shuozhou again.

Song Jiu ordered the three armies to retreat slowly, and the so-called Northern Expedition, which lasted for more than two months, ended again hastily again. However, unlike the previous two Northern Expeditions, the casualties were not serious this time. On the contrary, half of the entire mountain behind the Song army was destroyed into idle fields and ruins. A total of more than 20,000 households were captured, more than twice the number of the last time.

In addition, Shengzhou City stood up, and the Shenwu City and Panguan in Hedong went to Yanmen to form a long "l" shape, which could launch an attack on several states behind the mountain at any time. The Liao Kingdom had to dispatch more troops, which would further consume the little bit of the pitiful financial resources of the Liao Kingdom.

The Song army successfully nailed two famous generals to Youzhou and Yunzhou, which gave other ethnic groups a good opportunity to rebel.

However, there is also a saying, before Xiao Paiwei led the army, Song Jiu should use all his troops to defeat Yelu Xizhen in one fell swoop. When Song Jiu learned about it, he just smiled. Can he definitely defeat Yelu Xizhen? Even if he defeated, he would suffer heavy casualties, which is necessary?

In fact, the whole wind was not in the northwest or behind the mountain...

Yelu Xizhen obviously realized that it was not good. Once the battle was dragged to the form of competition and consumption by the Song Dynasty, it would sooner or later drag the Liao Kingdom down. Therefore, he gathered his army and launched several fierce attacks on forts such as Shenwu City. However, the several forts he faced this time were different from those of the Song army forts in the past, especially solid. It costs a lot of money to build forts like this, but they are particularly solid, and there are not many forts. There are only seven forts in the new forts in Hedong, and there are only eleven forts in Hexi, and some small forts, which were controlled in the hands of the foreigners and had little to do with the Song army. Although the number was small, the actual area was not small, it contained a large amount of food and grass and defensive weapons. Although Yelu Xizhen could fight, the Liao army was not good at attacking the city. After attacking several times, Yelu Xizhen had to retreat and go back and think about other methods.
