If This is Song History Ii: Storms of Liao and Song Dynasties (comfortable Reading Edition)
About This Novel
Since the founding of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Liao and Song Dynasties have been in a state of confrontation. The Battle of Gaoliang River was the first head-on confrontation between the main forces of the Liao and Song Dynasties, but it became an important turning point in the fate of the two countries. In this battle, Zhao Guangyi was hit by an arrow and almost lost his life, so he escaped in a panic on a donkey cart. In this battle, the national power accumulated by the Northern Song Dynasty for decades was destroyed. From then on, the Liao Dynasty was strong and the Song Dynasty was weak. In this battle, Brother Yelvxiu recommended himself and became famous in the first battle. After that, he led the Liao army to repeatedly defeat the Song army. After this battle, the Liao Kingdom became a huge empire that dominated the Northern Song Dynasty and dominated the north. In the autumn of 1004, Empress Dowager Xiao and the Liao Shengzong personally led an army southward, with the intention of destroying the Song Dynasty in one fell swoop. Song Zhenzong wanted to flee south to avoid the enemy, but Kou Zhun persuaded him to go to Chanzhou to supervise the war. Unexpectedly, this battle would once again rewrite the fate of the two countries: the Liao army went deep alone and lost its vanguard general. The morale of the army was shaken and it retreated steadily; the Song army's morale was greatly boosted because the emperor personally conquered it and Kou Zhun was in command. Subsequently, the two countries negotiated peace and concluded the famous Chanyuan Alliance. For the next one hundred and twenty years, the Liao and Song Dynasties never met each other at war. The Northern Song Dynasty entered a period of prosperity, and the only prosperous period in the Song Dynasty for 300 years appeared - the Xianping rule. Later, the Tiansheng Dynasty under the regency of Queen Liu E and the popular Renzong Dynasty came one after another.
