Concubine Li Xian knew all the disputes between Zhao Yuanzuo and his father. As soon as she heard that the prince had gone to Tianlao, she knew what he was going to do. She wanted to find out whether the assassin was sent by the emperor's uncle or had someone else. He wanted to

I know how many things my father has done to disgrace my uncle.

Originally, Concubine Li Xian felt a little guilty towards her son, because this son had been adhering to the Three Principles and Five Permanent principles, benevolence, justice, propriety, and wisdom since elementary school. Suddenly, the faith and character he had cultivated since childhood were overturned, and the building of ideals collapsed. No wonder he was in such pain. However,

What Bi Su said today taught her a lesson. When she was walking alone on the road and walking back slowly, she kept thinking about what Bi Su said in her mind.

Yes, you have your reasons, and I have mine. Everyone has something he wants to defend. What is the world and the country, what is morality and justice? How many worlds are there in the world? The Song Dynasty has the Song Dynasty, and the Liao Dynasty has the Liao Dynasty.

Xixia has the world of Xixia... The so-called world is just the place you own. There is no absolute truth in the world. If you protect what you want to protect, you will inevitably damage what others want to protect.

To put it bluntly, it is just a way of maintaining the order of one's own group.

Why is it that a common man and a low-level assassin can see so clearly and understand the truth, but this stupid son of his own regards some self-deception as justice that is universally applicable and lets his own good life go?

However, getting entangled in those nonsense things, causing the father and son to turn against each other, and bringing back a haunting assassin? If you talk about morality with others, who will talk about morality with you?

As soon as she saw Zhao Yuanzuo approaching, Concubine Li Xian suddenly became angry and slapped her in the face without thinking. This slap knocked Zhao Yuanzuo unconscious. Empress Li was shocked and said: "Sister Concubine Xian, you... you...

What is it for?"

Concubine Li Xian wanted to teach her son a few words, but the ministers, palace guards and imperial guards were surrounded by countless people. Although some truths were true, they were inconvenient to tell others, especially as a member of the royal family.

He opened his mouth, but in the end it just turned into a long sigh: "Mother, let's go back to the palace. Leave this unworthy man alone!"

Seeing Luan Jia take off, Zhao Yuanzuo covered his cheek and still stood there blankly. He didn't understand why his mother, who had always loved him and never laid a finger on him since childhood, wanted to beat him?

"What did I do wrong?"

Zhao Yuanzuo shouted angrily in his heart.

Under Youzhou City, the war is raging.

Just in collecting materials, in just half a month, the military craftsmen rushed out 800 stone cannons, rain of arrows, and rain of stones, which poured into Youzhou City every day without spending any money.

They built city gates, built earthen hills, dug tunnels, and used all kinds of tactics. When the defenders in the city came to block it, and when the water came to the earthen garrison, they saw every move and tried their best to resist.

The Liao reinforcements had no way to deal with the behemoth Song Army. Once the Song Army's huge formation was in operation, it was simply a huge and terrifying meat grinder. This formation was compared to the one between Zhao Kuangyin and Xiao Hou in Ziwu Valley.

It was even more perfect and meticulous during the war, especially after more than a month of continuous improvement and supplementation, which was perfectly integrated with the terrain. Its heavy armored infantry was equipped with the most sophisticated weapons in the world at that time, received the most scientific training, and was composed of the most exquisite

The formation is invincible in frontal combat, no matter how many soldiers are put in, it will not be able to fill this bottomless pit.

The Liao reinforcements watched helplessly as the Song army besieged and attacked the city, but they were unable to do anything. The Song army only fought with you in positional warfare and did not actively disturb the battle at all. What can you do? These hundreds of thousands of troops are piled under Youzhou City.

, people eat like horses, spend money like water every day, it almost makes people collapse.

At this time, the Song army had already freed up its hands and began to cut off the cities around Youzhou. Yelu Xiezhen originally came to reinforce Youzhou, but he suffered setbacks in several battles and lost troops and generals.

"Great Formation", morale was extremely low. After several defeats in succession, the Bohai Navy commander Daluanhe led his Bohai Navy to surrender to the Song Dynasty.

The Bohai Kingdom was annexed by the Liao Kingdom. It has only been a few years since the Bohai Navy was not loyal enough. However, soon after that, another man surrendered to the Song Dynasty. Although he failed to bring all his troops over, he only brought two soldiers with him.

There were more than a hundred cronies, but it caused an uproar in the Liao army camp. Because this was Lizalucun, the commander of the Liao Kingdom's Tielin Army.

The Tielin Army is one of the most elite armies of the Liao Kingdom and is quite famous in history. The three major heavy armored cavalry in the Song Dynasty were the Tielin Army of the Liao Kingdom, the Iron Kites of the Xixia Kingdom, and the Iron Buddha of the Jin Kingdom.

, and Lizalucun was also a senior general of the Khitan clan in the Liao Kingdom. When the news came that this man surrendered to the Song Dynasty, the morale of the Liao army plummeted.

His surrender to the Song Dynasty immediately produced a domino effect. Liu Tingsu, the governor of Liaoshun Prefecture, Jianxiong Army Jiedushi, and Liu Shouen, the governor of Jizhou Province, successively raised the city to accept the surrender. Youzhou City officially became an isolated city, and the situation was precarious.

When the news came back to Beijing, the whole court was in an uproar. The Song army's series of victories and the orphans and widowers in power destroyed the ambitions of the Liao people. Many courtiers could not help but think of the Huns and the fate of the Turks who lost their sweat tents one after another and fled to the Western Regions.

, began to consider giving up the Sixteen States of Youyun, shrinking the army and protecting their hometown. One person proposed, and ten or hundreds of people responded. For a time, the same voice was noisy in the Liao court: "Abandon the Sixteen States of Youyun"

The six states must shrink their troops to protect the Liao Kingdom!"

"Nonsense! Anyone who dares to abandon our country and retreat to protect himself will be killed without mercy!"

Xiao Chuo stood up with his sword in his hand, and there was an evil aura between his naturally charming eyebrows. He was so frightened that no one in the civil and military hall dared to speak. Only this woman's loud and bold words were left: "In the past, I, the Liao Dynasty, dominated the world, and no one dared to stop me.

, even with the talents of Chai Rong and Zhao Kuangyin, what can they do to me? Now Youzhou City is in danger, the defenders face 300,000 enemy troops, holding on for more than a month without losing an inch of ground, waiting for our Daliao Tiger and Wolf Division to come to the rescue

To relieve the siege, you are actually so timid and afraid of fighting?"

Looking around the whole hall, Xiao Chuo said resolutely: "You retreat, but I will not retreat! I will lead the emperor and lead the expedition in person. If you want to die, the Daliao warriors will die vigorously. I and the emperor will die in battle."

Below Youzhou City!"

Seeing that a young woman was so brave, all the civil and military officials in the court were ashamed and did not dare to confront her. Xiao Chuo's decisive words also aroused their ferocity. At that time, all the civil and military officials mustered up their courage and rushed to recruit troops from various ministries.

, continue to organize reinforcements and prepare to rush to Youzhou. At the same time, Xiao Chuo urgently issued an order, ordering Brother Yelu Xiu to end the battle with Shiwei and Jurchen as soon as possible, whether it is war or peace, and return to the army immediately to defend Nanjing!

Corpses littered the fields and the ground was in a mess.

Yang Jiye and Shang Boqian were in charge of the central army, and they continued to invest their troops. The battle group became stronger and stronger. Looking down from the top of the mountain, the entire plain was full of rampaging soldiers and horses, and the killing was earth-shattering, and the sun and the moon dimmed.

At this moment, smoke and dust rose up on the southwest horizon. First, there was a black line, and then it quickly moved forward. The smoke and dust billowed like a yellow dragon that opened its teeth and claws to devour people, flying in like lightning. The two armies were fighting in full swing.

A sudden attack of surprise troops shocked everyone. The two warring parties near the southwest first became silent, and then spread like a plague throughout the entire battlefield.
