Film and TV starts with acquiring a memory palace

Shengjing of Liao Dynasty.

The Liao emperor, Yelu Hongji, sat in the palace, looking at the memorial sent back by Yelu Chutai.

"Asshole, how did Yelu Chutai fight the war? My Liao Dynasty was defeated. I want to kill him."

"Your Majesty, please calm down, Yelu Chutai..."

"Hmph, well, let's not talk about his business for now, let's talk about what to do about this matter?"

The Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji waved his hand to interrupt the words of his subordinates. He had no intention of killing Yelu Chutai. After all, he was a general from his own family, and of course he could not cut off his own arm. It was just that he was too angry just now.

The people below also understood what he meant and no one mentioned the matter anymore.

"Your Majesty, this battle was originally intended to interrupt the reforms of the Song Dynasty, but now it seems that this has not been achieved. I think it is better to let Yelu Chutai retreat back."

"After all, we have lost the initiative now. We can only talk about it next time."

A minister stood up and spoke to the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji.

"Humph, in this case, will the Song Dynasty have the possibility of counterattack?"

"Your Majesty, you worry too much. We are all aware of the situation of the Song Dynasty. Since the two previous northern expeditions failed, the Song Dynasty has no ability to resist our Liao Kingdom. This time, it is because we are the siege party that the Song Dynasty has a chance. There is no need to worry at all."

The minister who spoke spoke confidently. When the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji heard this, his face finally looked better.

Most of the ministers had the same expression. After all, they in the Song Dynasty really didn’t take it seriously.

However, there were still a few sensible ministers who were somewhat worried.

"Your Majesty, the Song Dynasty must be on guard. I think we should send more troops to help General Yelu Chutai. This..."

"Nonsense, the Song Dynasty is a weak country, how can it be compared with my Liao Dynasty? Everyone knows the situation of the Song Dynasty. The army of the Song Dynasty is like sheep, there is no need to worry about it."

As soon as these words were spoken, people responded one after another. Seeing this situation, the rational ministers could only look eagerly at the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji.

"Okay, what the two ministers said makes sense, but we really have no way to support Yelu Chutai at the moment. Send a message for Yelu Chutai to come back. I will also send a letter to the Song people to end this war."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Seeing that the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji had made up his mind, everyone spoke respectfully.

Even the more rational ministers did not dare to go against the wishes of the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji at this time.

Soon, envoys from the Liao Kingdom set out from Shengjing.

 …

Zhuozhou City.

Prince Huan Zhao Yingce and others were still actively preparing for the city's defense, fearing that if the Liao Kingdom sent troops to support it, it would not be an easy matter.

"Marquis Ningyuan, what's the news from the Liao camp now?"

"Your Highness, there is no movement from the Liao camp right now. After retreating fifty miles, they have been on high alert and there has been no movement."

"Well, okay, we must pay more attention to that side. The strength of the Liao army cannot be ignored."

"Yes, Your Highness the Crown Prince."

Gu Tingyu clasped his fists and bowed. All of this was now arranged by Gu Tingyu, and Duke Yingguo and Duke Chengguo had no objections.

It can be seen that this is an attempt to cultivate Gu Tingyu's abilities, and this is also something Gu Tingyu has fought for himself.

It was not without reason that Prince Huan Zhao Yingce attached so much importance to this. After all, although this night attack was a great victory, the Song Dynasty still lost 40,000 elite soldiers. In addition to those who sacrificed their lives, many of them could not go to the battlefield.

The cavalry led by Gu Tingye suffered heavy casualties, which shows the gap.

"Your Highness, the Liao cavalry can no longer be ignored. If our Song Dynasty wants to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, cavalry is a must."

"Yes, I know this too. After I return, I will tell my father about this."

The Duke of Yingguo has already found out during this period that King Huan Zhao Yingce is definitely determined to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, so the Duke of Yingguo specifically brought it up.

This is not a deliberate attempt to trick him, but mainly to improve the treatment of military officers, which requires support from above.

King Huan Zhao Yingce certainly understood all this, but who could blame him for having such ambition? Moreover, if the military officers supported him, it would be beneficial for him to ascend the throne in the future.

Zhuozhou City was arranged in an orderly manner, and the envoys from the Liao Kingdom finally arrived in Bian Jing after a long and hurried journey.

early morning.

The Minister of Rites stood up.

"Your Majesty, the Liao envoy entered the city yesterday and brought a letter from the Liao emperor, Yelu Hongji. Please take a look..."

"Oh? Let them come up."

The Minister of Rites bowed and waved to the guards outside the door. Soon the Liao envoys walked into the hall.

"The Liao envoy pays respect to His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

"No need to be polite. I wonder what the envoy is here for this time."

"Your Majesty, the Emperor of the Great Song Dynasty, I have brought a letter from the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty, hoping for friendship between our two countries."

Zhao Zongquan should have been happy when he heard the words of the Liao envoy, but when he saw the expressions on the Liao people's faces, he couldn't be happy at all.

They had clearly lost the battle and came here to ask for a truce, but the Liao people still had an expression of condescension on their faces. Zhao Zongquan really wanted to let the soldiers on the front line attack them.

But he knew he had no way of doing that, so he could only take the letter from his personal eunuch with an expressionless face.

"Okay, I understand. You can go down first and enjoy the prosperity of my Bianjing. I will give you news tomorrow."

"Okay, I'm waiting for news from His Majesty the Emperor of the Song Dynasty."

After saying that, he turned around and left. All the ministers in the hall, whether they were sincere or pretending, were filled with anger.

"Damn it, he's still so arrogant even after being defeated."

"Your Majesty, calm down. The most important thing right now is domestic reform. Everything else will be settled later."

Minister Han quickly passed a step over, and Zhao Zongquan also walked down the step.

"Okay, let's leave the court. Gentlemen, please come to the imperial study."

Zhao Zongquan threw away his dragon robe and left the hall directly.

In the imperial study, Zhao Zongquan chatted with several men again.

The next day, an imperial edict was sent to Zhuozhou.

After receiving the message from the messenger, the Liao emperor Yelu Hongji also passed the order to Yelu Chutai, and the Liao army withdrew that day.

After confirming that the Liao Kingdom had really withdrawn its troops, King Huan Zhao Yingce and others made some arrangements for the defense of Zhuozhou City and then returned to the capital.

a.

There were unusually few people on the streets of Bianjing. The imperial court had already announced the news of the army, and the common people all flocked out of Bianjing to watch the excitement.

Five miles outside the city, Zhao Zongquan and a group of ministers were waiting.

Dust was flying in the air from afar, and everyone knew that the army had returned.

The people around also looked over eagerly, their eyes full of excitement.

"The army is back, and the Song Dynasty will win forever."

"Great Song will win."
