In Yang Yingqi's long-term plan, there is the existence of a city of Eile. But at this time, his mind had not yet gone there. The most important thing in front of you is Yanjing!

He silently boarded the dock in Tanggu, and only Ouyang Shi and Deng Su came to pick him up, and the officials and generals below the middle level did not know that the Seventh General and his staff team were here again.

In just a few months, the situation in Tanggu has changed dramatically. The previous temporary city wall had been demolished, and because Yanjing was too busy to take care of itself, Ouyang Shi was able to generously hire craftsmen and people from the territory of the Great Song Dynasty, and built a stronger wall outside the temporary city wall, enclosing a seaside port city. The city is divided into two parts: a military district and a civilian district. Within the military area are barracks, government halls, corridors, warehouses; The residential area is mainly a commercial and residential area, with courts, schools, and temples. Of course, most of these facilities are hastily built, and many are still under construction. Half of the shops in the shopping street started operating with tents, but this simplicity did not stop the merchants' passion for counting money.

In the government hall, Deng Su said to Yang Yingqi: "The Great Song Dynasty has finally sent troops. "After the opening of Tanggu, there is one more channel for the return of the Han Ministry espionage system, and the spy report on the Great Song Dynasty in Tanggu no longer has to be obtained from Dengzhou, and some of the latest news from Bianliang knows earlier than Yang Yingqi.

Yang Yingqi asked Deng Su: "How many soldiers and horses?" Who is the manager? ”

Deng Su said: "It is difficult to know for sure how many soldiers and horses there are, but based on the scale of Emperor Taizong's Northern Expedition and the impact of this expedition on the private economy, it is estimated that it should be more than 100,000, and may even reach 200,000. The coach is Tong Guan. ”

Yang Yingqi was not surprised that Eunuch Tong was the commander, but he couldn't help but be disappointed when he heard it, and asked: "Are there any generals in the army?" ”

Deng Su said: "I heard that the capital control will be a small race. ”

Yang Yingqi was surprised and delighted: "The small species are slightly fair? Planter Dao? ”

Deng Su said: "Not bad! It's the old species. ”

Yang Yingqi was overjoyed and said: "It's done!" There are many soldiers and generals, and the time is good for me, and it is difficult to think about it! ”

Who is the small race of the scriptures? Why is Yang Yingqi so happy? It turned out that due to the existence of the Yuanyuan Alliance, the peace on the Song-Liao border has been for a hundred years, so the Great Song Dynasty has used troops in the northwest for more than a hundred years. The people of the battle-ridden land are brave, so the soldiers in the northwest of the Great Song Dynasty are the most available. The division road is the northwest dry city, the famous general of the Great Song Dynasty, and the soldiers can look at the overall situation, and there are laws in advance and retreat. It's just that the family is the "family of famous generals" of the Great Song Dynasty, and the seed master is young and undertakes court training, and he abides by the principle of not interfering in politics and strategy, which is an extremely rare martial virtue in the eyes of Yang Yingqi and Cao Guangbi, but it is regarded as pedantic in Xiao Tienu.

This time, Yang Yingqi heard that the seed master might come, so he knew that the Northern Expedition Song Army would have more western soldiers. They had fought a battle with the Yanjing defenders before, and they knew that the soldiers and horses of Daliao were no longer as strong as they used to be, so they were more than three percent sure of the achievement.

Yang Yingqi pointed to a map of Nanjing Road in Daliao on the wall and said: "When the Song envoy negotiated with the lord, he said at the beginning, 'I am willing to get Shi Jingjiao to bribe the old land of the Khitan'. This sentence is very well written, but it leaves a serious flaw. Yinping and Luan are not in the 'old land of Shi Jingjiao bribing Khitan'. Since then, the ambitions of the lord have gradually expanded, and Zhao Liangsi will refuse to give them if he wants to modify the lord when he finds the problem. This is also one of my biggest fears about the Sea Alliance. ”

Pingzhou Luanzhou chokes the western Liaoning corridor, which is the location of Yuguan (Shanhaiguan), and the area of Shengkou and Juyongguan in the west, which are the two gateways of Yanjing and northwest! If Pingluan is lost, Yanjing will be difficult to protect! If Yuguan is not allowed, the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty will lose at least more than half of its strategic significance.

This time, the primary strategic goal of the Jin army was to capture Yelu Yanxi, in order to cut down the grass and eradicate the roots, and completely break the morale of the Khitans. The main force of the Jin army pressed down from the North Road, did not enter Nanjing Road, and chased the Liao lord directly to Datong Mansion, so at present, Pingzhou Luanzhou is still in the hands of the Liao people.

Yang Yingqi said again: "The territory of the country is solid if it is won by war!" How can you rely solely on treaties? It would be ridiculous to wait for someone else to give it! Although the original covenant did not say that Pingluan would return to the Song Dynasty, it also did not say that it would return to gold! Where the covenant is not made, the first to come! As long as the soldiers and horses of the Great Song Dynasty occupy Yuguan and Juyong Pass first, unless the lord of the country tears the covenant regardless of his face, there is no reason to knock on the pass. ”

Ouyang Shi suddenly said: "The second child is stationed in the east of Pingzhou now, right?" ”

Yang Yingqi said: "Not bad. The eldest brother was responsible for the grain and straw transfer in the rear in Dading Mansion, and the second brother led 3,000 horsemen and soldiers to Yuguan. ”

Ouyang Shi said: "Since this is the case, it is better to let the second child call in directly!" ”

Yang Yingqi shook his head and said, "It's not appropriate." At the beginning, the Maritime Alliance had an agreement: in order to capture Yelu Yanxi, Dajin soldiers and horses could enter the clouds first, but they were not allowed to cross the south of Yuguan for no reason. If we do this, we will violate the alliance, and we will offend Huining and Bianliang at the same time. Not to mention that the lord of the country has not ordered it at the moment, even if he asks us to enter, we will have to resist it. If Yanjing is defeated by the second brother, it will still be counted on Dajin's books, which conflicts with our strategy. ”

Ouyang Shi was silent, while Deng Su nodded yes and said, "Cangzhou is more biased, and the Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty will come from Xiongzhou." Did the 100,000 stone of grain and grass we promised go up the river and send them to them? ”

Yang Yingqi smiled and said, "This matter is not in a hurry." Besides, this time the food was not sent to the Great Song Dynasty by our Han Department, but by the fourth brother to Tong Guan. This kind of 'private' matter, the fourth brother can handle it. ”

Ouyang Shi couldn't help but chuckle when he heard this, but Deng Su frowned, and asked directly: "Fourth general, seventh general, you didn't plan to really send food to the Great Song Dynasty from the beginning, right?" ”

Yang Yingqi saw that he was displeased, and hurriedly comforted: "Zhihong don't want this. The Northern Expedition of the Great Song Dynasty came prepared, and there must be more grain and grass in the army. When they run out of food, I won't stand idly by. ”

Deng Su's expression eased slightly: "Deng Su is not pedantic, but if such a major event is not fulfilled, I am afraid that he will lose his trust in the world." ”

Ouyang Shi said: "If something goes wrong with this matter, I will take care of it, what are you worried about!" ”

Yang Yingqi thought for a while and said, "What Deng Zhihong said also makes sense. For the Great Song Shimin, the most important thing is to set up a letter! In this way, anyway, we have enough grain in stock now, so it is better to divide these 100,000 stone grains and grass into five batches and send them one batch every six months. The first batch of 20,000 stones set off by water and were sent to Xiongzhou when the Northern Expeditionary Army arrived, which was regarded as a welcome gift. Our grain officer should also take the opportunity to take a look at the Great Song Army and act cheaply. ”

Ouyang Shi asked: "Who is the best person to be the grain officer?" ”

Yang Yingqi looked at Deng Su and said, "It's up to Deng Zhihong to take the responsibility, how about it?" ”

Deng Su said: "I will not disgrace my life." ”

The three of them discussed the strategy of helping Song to take Yan, and only waited for the Song army to come north. As a result, the Song army in the south did not arrive, but there was bad news in the north: the son of the "first emperor" Wu Yashu, the brother of Wanyan Hu, the uncle of Zhiyan Chong's wife, and Yang Yingqi's good friend Wanyan Zongxiong died of a violent illness in the army.
