Why did the Northern Song Dynasty spare no effort to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty?

The Later Han and Northern Han were a family, and the Later Han killed the Guowei family, so the Later Zhou had a natural enmity with them, and it was also the established strategy of the Zhou and Song dynasties to retreat the Khitan to the north and seize the sixteen states of Yanyun. The Northern Han is just in the middle of the road, and hooks up with the Khitan, so if you don't beat him, you will keep him?

Although the Northern Han was a small country. But the area where he is located is the northern Jin region, Yanmen Pass, Taiyuan These important towns are the barriers of the Central Plains, and behind the Northern Han Dynasty is the Liao State, once the domestic situation changes. The Northern Han Dynasty could use the power of the Liao State to go south to the Central Plains, which was a very dangerous thing.

The Northern Han Dynasty was located in an important place in the east of the Hedong River, forming a strategic superiority over the Northern Song Dynasty, just as the Liao State occupied the sixteen states of Youyun and had a strategic advantage over the Northern Song Dynasty, and could attack Bianliang at any time.

In the early stage, the Northern Song Dynasty was afraid of expansion, and if they wanted to collect Youyan, they would destroy the Northern Han Dynasty and the time bomb.

Later Zhou attacked the sixteen states of Yanyun of Liao, if you can, you can destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, and when Taizu of the Northern Song Dynasty was the opposite, he first destroyed the Northern Han and then found an opportunity to destroy the Northern Han, until the Song Taizong, who was very talented and sparse, completely tore his face with the Liao State, compared to the current South Korea, he feels that he is quite eye-catching in the region and the world, in fact, he is not a big man behind him China, Russia, the United States, Japan, these countries.

In fact, the Later Han and Northern Han were essentially the same regime.

Jinyang Chang'an is the lifeline of the Central Plains.

The Northern Han was the imperial family of the Later Han Dynasty, and in order to demonstrate the legitimacy of its rule, it had to be brought down. At the same time, it made itself the only legitimate regime of the Han Chinese. Let the Khitan lose the vanguard of the Central Plains, and the bridgehead.

Do you need a reason to kill a traitor The Northern Han Dynasty gave the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun to the Khitans It is equivalent to hanging a knife over the heads of the Northern Zhou and Northern Song Dynasty.

The Northern Han was the barrier of the Liao, and if the Northern Han could not be eliminated, the threat of the Liao could not be eliminated.

What's the problem? Could it be that the Northern Song Dynasty of the Later Zhou Dynasty only wanted to destroy the Northern Han Dynasty? Don't you want to destroy the Southern Tang, Houshu, Wu Yue, Southern Han and even Liao?

Is there any doubt that any of the larger regimes wants to wipe out all the other regimes and dominate the world? It should be discussed why the Northern Song Dynasty did not want to destroy Dali.

At that time, the Northern Han Dynasty was barren and poor, after the initial construction, the wars were frequent, the military service was heavy, and the people were forced to flee to avoid the war and harshness, resulting in the lack of the masses in the Northern Han Dynasty, and they could only rely on the help of the Liao army to protect the country, and later without the help of the Liao army, they were easily defeated.

Because the Northern Han Dynasty did not have the assistance of the Liao army at that time, its own ability and national strength were relatively weak, so under the fierce siege of the Song army, the Northern Han knew that there was no hope, so it announced its surrender.

For the Later Zhou and Northern Song Dynasty people, the Northern Han Dynasty was quite alienated from foreign peoples, and there was a certain estrangement, as well as the continuous invasion of the Central Plains by the Northern Han Dynasty.

There was a dynasty in history, the Northern Han Dynasty, which was always remembered by Guo Wei and Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty and Zhao Kuangyin of the Northern Song Dynasty, because they wanted to restore unity.

In terms of geographical location, the Northern Han Dynasty is the most important strategic point in the north, from the end of the Tang Dynasty to the five generations of military regimes one after another in the tragic succession, the geographical advantages and strong humanistic customs of the Hedong region centered on Jinyang are highlighted in the world.

The reason why the Later Zhou and the Northern Song Dynasty wanted to destroy the Northern Han was because of the geographical location of the Northern Han Dynasty, and they wanted to unify and start with a weak country.

Because the struggle for political change of power at that time was fierce, the Later Zhou, Hebei, and Song dynasties wanted to destroy the most powerful Northern Han.

Because the Northern Han regime was unable to cope with long-term foreign wars after the establishment of the country, it was forced to beg for aid to the Khitan Liao regime, which had already controlled the sixteen states of Yanyun, about the "country of uncle and nephew", and it was precisely because of the repeated military support of the Liao State that the Northern Han regime could continue for many years under the continuous blows of the Later Zhou-Northern Song Dynasty.

Zhao Jiong, Taizong of the Song Dynasty, led an army to conquer the Northern Han Dynasty. The Song army first routed the Liao reinforcements, and then stormed Taiyuan, the Northern Han lord Liu Jiyuan (?992) was forced to surrender to the Northern Han Dynasty.

There are many reasons why it is difficult for the Northern Han to be eliminated by the Song;

1. First of all, the smaller the land area is, the greater the energy they invest internally and externally, and the stronger the sense of crisis;

2 Another point is that they have many elite soldiers and strong generals, which can be seen in the war against the Song.

3 And then they are caught in the gap to survive, with the Liao State as the external slowdown, as the rear ** of the holding, this is another reason.

4 There is also the reason why their decision-makers are by no means ordinary and have high decision-making ability, which is also the reason for surviving and prolonging the time of the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty.

There were three large-scale attacks, the first large-scale attack of the escort section directly sent 200,000 people, the second attack was 300,000 people, and the third time Luyu was directly 500,000 soldiers.

After many large-scale offensives, he has never given up this obsession, and has been adjusting his strategic decisions, laying the foundation for subsequent reunification.

There were three large-scale attacks, and two of them had already achieved very good results, so they were able to bring about the destruction of the Northern Han.

A total of three attacks were made against the Northern Han, but these three times had different results, and they also won the final victory.
