Great lakes alliance
It should be said that in the Temple League, although Song Jun later occupied the advantage, he even won a decisive victory in the live broadcast of the Long Courtyard. For Song Zhenzong's army, there was also some luck in this victory. Although Song Zhenzong's personal arrival greatly boosted Song Jun's later morale. But there is still no absolute certainty of victory. In other words, Sun Tzu's Art of War says that when the enemy lures the enemy deeper, he should calmly consider it and should not pursue it at will!
The Liao army is unstoppable.
According to historical records, at that time, during the Song Jun League, tens of thousands of troops fought against the Liao army of hundreds of thousands of troops. In fact, as far as the number of troops is concerned, Song Jun is far less than Liao soldiers. Although Song Jun eased in the later period, Song Jun was able to gain the upper hand mainly because of Song Zhenzong's personal expedition. However, the defeated Liao army actually had the main force at that time. In other words, there must be at least 70,000 or 80,000 main players in the hundreds of thousands of experiences of chat groups. Can't chase easily!
Song Zhenzong is selfish.
Apart from the military differences and some tactical differences between the two sides, Song Zhenzong himself has some selfishness. Because Song Zhenzong himself belongs to the emperor who has nothing to do and has no lofty goals. In other words, he just wanted to keep the military strength and the throne of the Northern Song Dynasty, but he didn't really want to remove the threat of Liao, or even bring permanent stability to the people! Personally, I don't want to pursue him vigorously, nor do I want to have a conflict with Liao. In the later alliance period, paying "old silver" to Liao is the best example!
In the final analysis, it is Song Jun's weakness and Song Zhenzong's compromise that make taxpayers feel timid, and the situation of being a bear has continued. ...
