After the Liao army successfully conquered the Dangxiang tribes and returned to the dynasty, the turmoil within the Song Dynasty had not completely stopped.

Because the process of the Liao army led by Yelu Mo to conquer Dangxiang was too smooth, and even Yelu Mo could not imagine it.

Because the process went smoothly, it did not take too much time to return to the court. Since it did not take too much time, it would not be feasible if the Liao Kingdom took advantage of the strong morale of this army, but was not tired when the veterans were tired and the plan to attack Song was still alive.

The coach Yelu Mo also thought of such a plan and suggested to Han Derang and Xiao Chuo, but sometimes man's calculations are not as good as God's calculations.

At this time, the backyard of the Liao Empire caught fire. Because it was originally cut off relations with the Central Plains, it completely surrendered to the effect of the Liao Empire on the Korean Peninsula. Goryeo suddenly rebelled at this time.

This made the senior officials of the Liao Empire unexpectedly why Goryeo rebelled?

The relationship between Goryeo and the Liao Empire has been quite a matter of time. As early as the era of the Emperor Taizu of Liao Yelu Abaoji, the Wang family of Goryeo on the peninsula sent envoys to capture the Liao Kingdom, but at that time Goryeo did not belong to the Liao Kingdom, but to the Central Plains.

Because although the Central Plains were in chaos at that time, the Liao Kingdom had just been established and the strength of the Central Plains was still stronger. Therefore, although the Wang Goryeo was in conjunction with the Liao Kingdom at this time, he did not surrender.

At this time, the Liao Kingdom also knew that its strength was not that strong, so it did not require Goryeo to have a subordinate.

Although Emperor Taizong once attacked Goryeo, he could not conquer it. Until the second year of Emperor Taizong of Liao (939), the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo suddenly cut off contact for no reason. This time lasted for more than 40 years.

In the past forty years, the Liao Kingdom gradually established a small country from a nomadic race and grew into a huge empire on the grassland. Especially after Shi Jingtang ceded it to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun in order to win the support of the Liao Kingdom, the Liao Empire gradually entered a period of rapid development.

Of course, during this period, the Central Plains also underwent earth-shaking changes, with the establishment of the Later Jin, the Later Han, and the Later Zhou Dynasty one after another, and then the destruction was successively implemented. A man named Zhao Kuangyin established a dynasty called Song, which quickly destroyed other countries and gradually unified the Central Plains.

After the Song Dynasty unified the Central Plains, the Liao Empire suddenly realized that it was necessary to strengthen the relationship with Goryeo, which had been cut off for more than 40 years.

Because of the Song Dynasty's unification of the Central Plains, the south of the Liao Empire was no longer chaotic, and the south became stronger, which brought hidden dangers to the Liao Empire's own security.

In order to fight this hidden danger with all its might, the Wang Goryeo on the peninsula flanked by the Liao Empire was valued by the Liao Empire. The Liao Empire realized that in order to fight against the Song Empire in the south without worries.

Its own flanks must be safe, but at this time the flanks Goryeo did not belong to itself. On the contrary, its sect leader has always been the Central Plains dynasty, and at this time it was the Song Empire.

For this unsafe factor, the Liao Empire naturally no longer allowed its existence, so the Liao Empire began to demand that Goryeo cut off contact with Song, belong to itself, and began to use force to threaten Goryeo.

But Goryeo was unmoved and still maintained its connection with the Song Dynasty.

So the Liao Kingdom no longer tolerated it and launched an attack on Goryeo in 992. Goryeo did not have the strength to resist the attack of Liao Kingdom, and the Song Dynasty could not provide help because it was far apart.

So in desperation, Goryeo had no choice but to surrender and surrender to the Liao Kingdom.

The Liao Kingdom also accepted Goryeo's surrender and subordinates happily. In order to show the demeanor of the Liao Empire, the Liao Empire allocated a large area of ​​land east of the Yalu River to Goryeo.

However, at this time, Goryeo still did not cut off its relationship with the Song Dynasty. At this time, Goryeo also had subordinates to the two major countries, Liao and Song.

However, in diplomacy, the fenceists have never had a good end, especially since the wall stands between two hostile forces, so Goryeo must choose a country.

From the perspective of the Goryeo royal family, they were more willing to surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, the Central Plains dynasty often treated the subordinate countries very well. Being generous and indifferent has always been the characteristic of the Central Plains dynasty.

In addition, over the years, Zhao Weiji began to sell steel weapons to the peninsula, which has improved Goryeo's military strength to a certain extent. They no longer acted as the Yin power taken by the Liao Empire when they were in the Northern Expedition of Yongxi.

Instead, he sent people to the Central Plains, saying that if the Song Dynasty attacked Liao, then Goryeo would definitely cooperate in combat.

At that time, Emperor Taizong Zhao Guangyi had not yet passed away. During his reign, he failed to attack Liao twice, so the attack on Liao had always been resentful. Now Goryeo sent envoys to say that he could cooperate, which made Emperor Taizong once had the desire to fight the Northern Expedition.

However, not long after that, he fell seriously ill due to an arrow sore. However, he did not forget about this. The reason why Zhao Heng was still working in the north when Zhao Guangyi died was because Zhao Guangyi had been thinking about this matter, so he sent Zhao Heng to work in the north and inspected to see if it was possible to organize another Northern Expedition.

But unexpectedly, not long after Zhao Heng left Beijing for the Northern Expedition, Zhao Guangyi died. Due to Zhao Guangyi's death, the Northern Expedition naturally stopped.

But Goryeo and the others did not know that because Goryeo's land route to the Central Plains was blocked by the Liao Empire, they had to take a boat to cross the sea every time they went to the Central Plains, which affected the transmission of the news, so Goryeo did not know about Zhao Guangyi's death in time.

It happened that the Liao Empire started a war against Dangxiang at this time. This war made Goryeo think that a fight between Liao and Song dynasties was started, because the Goryeo royal family did not have any reliable intelligence system, and their judgment was entirely based on the garrison changes between the Liao Kingdom and Goryeo border.

At this moment, the Liao Kingdom transferred the troops originally on the Song-Liao border to attack Dangxiang, and a certain defense emptiness was created on the Song-Liao border. In order to fill these defense emptiness, it was naturally mobilized the nearest troops garrisoned between Liao and Goryeo.

Therefore, this phenomenon was misunderstood by Goryeo as the war between the Song and Liao dynasties. The Liao Kingdom transferred troops stationed at the Goryeo border to reinforce the southern Song and Liao border.

When the Goryeo royal family learned about this situation, they were happy and raised the anti-flag flag and launched the most battle against Liao.

Due to the assembly of new equipment and the unintentional attack, the early stages of the war caused a considerable blow to the few remaining defenders stationed on the border between Liao and Goryeo.

The Goryeo army successfully advanced into the territory of Liao, which shocked the entire Liao court.

Han Delang and Empress Xiao didn't know what happened this year. Why did the Emperor die in the Song Dynasty and the Great Liao Dynasty suffer one after another? How come this small country and tribe that didn't dare to leave a single fart began to make ground on Tai Sui at this time?

It happened that at this time, Yelu Mo's troops had just quickly resolved the Dangxiang troops and successfully returned to the court. So at this time, Han Delang and Empress Xiao didn't care whether they could take advantage of this opportunity to attack Song. It was important to solve the current situation.

So Yelu Mo's hope was ruined again, and he continued to lead the troops, but not to attack Song, but to pacify Goryeo's rebellion.

This time, the suppression of the rebellion made Yelu Moda, who was determined to take the Song Dynasty as his biggest enemy and wanted to weaken the powerful Liao Dynasty in any way.

If you are not your careful Goryeo disruption, I have already arrived at Yanmen Pass by this time.

So at this time, Yelu Mo can only use one word to describe it when he raises up, that is, ruthlessness.

He was very upset to fight Dangxiang. Now it was Goryeo again, so he threw all his anger on the Goryeo soldiers.

He would never accept surrender for those who could be killed. He pushed them all the way, and the bodies of the Goryeo soldiers were enough to make more than a dozen Beijing officials.

At this time, the Goryeo royal family also realized something was wrong. How could the Liao Kingdom, which was fighting against the Song Dynasty, have so many troops to deal with them at this moment?

Just when they couldn't understand, an envoy from the Song Dynasty came to relieve their doubts. It turned out that the Emperor Zhao Guangyi of the Song Dynasty had passed away, so there was no Northern Expedition at all.

Only then did I realize that Goryeo, who came here, was already in a difficult situation. Now his army is retreating step by step, and he is about to be counterattacked by Yelu Mo to the border.

But they cannot take the initiative to seek peace, because it was Goryeo who initiated the war. It is not possible that you can say that you are big, and you can't say that you don't want to fight.

In desperation, the Goryeo royal family had to kill the envoy Song in order to protect themselves, and then took the envoy's head to Yelu Moqiu's peace.

It is hoped that by completely severing relations with the Song Dynasty, the Liao Kingdom can stop the attack and allow the Goryeo country to be preserved.

After the Goryeo envoy brought the heads of the Song envoy to seek peace, Yelu Mo also calmed down. At this time, he already understood that even if he could pacify the entire Goryeo area, he would not be able to get the opportunity to attack Song.

Moreover, it is not so easy to destroy the Goryeo Kingdom. Even if it is destroyed, the subsequent rule will be a troublesome. Since the Goryeo envoy brought the heads of the envoys of Goryeo at this time, it means that Goryeo completely cut off its relationship with the Song Dynasty for peace.

So at this time, Yelu Mo just stepped down and after he got his wholehearted subordinates from Goryeo, he stopped attacking Goryeo, received new compensation, and then returned to the court again.

He went to war twice and received two compensations. Although he failed to attack Song as he wished, he did not suffer any loss. However, in this way, the Liao Kingdom, which had spent too much time in these two wars, also lost the best opportunity to attack Song.

And the Song Dynasty escaped another disaster.

However, although the external impact was gone, internal changes were quietly unfolding. Zhao Heng, who had just ascended the throne, was about to face the first test for him soon.
