As for the new Song Dynasty, it is natural to deal with it at this time.

Originally, they led the White Horse Seventh Army to return to China and scattered in Jiading, Luzhou, Tongchuan and other state capitals. Now the soldiers stationed in Tongchuan Prefecture are actively preparing for battle.

In addition to the thousands of defenders in Tongchuan Mansion, there are still more than 40,000 troops stationed here after returning from the Great Song Dynasty.

Compared with Jiading Mansion, Tongchuan Mansion is undoubtedly a heavy garrison. Even in Luzhou, on the west side of Chongqing Mansion, there were not so many defenders in Tongchuan Mansion.

Obviously, the deputy palace master of the Ghost Valley expected that the threat to the Tongchuan Mansion would be greater than that of Luzhou.

Of course, it is not ruled out that he intends to make a beautiful comeback here.

Pang Hongguang and others were originally their people. With their help, the New Song Dynasty still has the possibility of destroying the Western Xia and Great Song armies.

Although Dazhou is only 20,000 forbidden troops of the Song Kingdom, if the 20,000 forbidden troops can be destroyed, it will also be a very encouraging thing for the current New Song Dynasty.

And this can also give Dexin Song a chance to recuperate. Because the 20,000 Song troops were destroyed, it would inevitably take time for Zhao Dongting to transfer troops over again.

Even, in the case of setbacks, the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army may temporarily give up its plan to destroy the New Song Dynasty.

What Xin Song wants most now is the time and opportunity to recuperate.

Changsha.

Imperial.

The midyear has just passed.

The Zhongyuan Festival is called the Bon Festival in Buddhism, and the Daomen is called the Zhongyuan Diguan Festival. Just because there is a tendency for the three ways of Tao, Buddha, and Buddha to be harmonious, they are gradually collectively referred to as the Zhongyuan Festival.

There seemed to be a lingering smell of incense paper money in the air.

Yi Shiyu hurriedly entered the palace and went to the imperial study to see Zhao Dongting. Bring Liu Zhuwen's flying pigeon message to Zhao Dongting.

After reading the letter, Zhao Dongting couldn't stop laughing.

He didn't expect Liu Zhuwen and others to be able to take down the Dali Imperial City so smoothly.

Duan Qilin's determination was somewhat unexpected.

He really didn't expect Duan Qilin to retreat so completely.

It's really a personal masterpiece.

Zhao Dongting asked himself, if he was Duan Qilin, I am afraid that he would not be able to give up the entire Dali directly.

And he also understood that Duan Qilin brought all the remaining forces of Dali to the New Song Dynasty, and that would inevitably be a decisive resistance to the New Song Dynasty.

Dali is going well, which means that the resistance encountered by the new Song Dynasty may be more severe than imagined.

That's not what we need to think about right now.

Zhao Dongting couldn't plan for a rainy day to that point.

After reading Liu Zhuwen's letter, he only knew that it was time to reward the generals in the army.

No matter what happens to the new Song, this matter cannot be delayed any longer. Since the Imperial City of Dali has been taken, it is necessary to stabilize these territories first.

And these territories all need a large army to deter.

Zhao Dongting asked Gonggong Liu to add tea, and found the stack of appointment letters for the commanders, deputy commanders, and Du Yuhou of the various armies that he had originally hastily written on his bookcase.

He has always been a little hesitant about these appointments. Now, it's time to make up your mind.

Xianglong Military Region in Xiangyang Prefecture.

The generalissimo of this military region is Yue Peng, and there is no need to make any more calculations.

And Yue Peng's command originally had Tianxiong, Tianyong, Tianmeng, Tianjie, and the five forbidden armies of the Tiankui Army led by himself.

The commanders of the Tianyong and Tianmeng armies, Du Hu and Zheng Yihang, are now under the age of 50, and they are still far from retirement. Since he is an official, he has been appointed to his original position.

The Great Song Dynasty was in a period of rapid expansion, and there were too many meritorious generals in the army, and Zhao Dongting could not all be promoted. After all, there are so many official positions in the imperial court.

Moreover, the positions of military commanders such as Du Hu and Zheng Yihang have almost reached the peak. Upward, that is the central level of the Great Song Military Machinery Province.

In addition to the official titles, he also had many other ways to reward these generals.

Zhao Dongting drew circles on the names of Du Hu and Zheng Yihang, and then copied them on the white paper next to them, adding lines of small characters below.

Seal the marquis and give the house.

Then there are Liu Zijun and Xiao Yulin, the commanders of the Tianxiong and Tianjie armies.

Liu Zijun's age is similar to Du Hu's, and he is also a veteran who originally followed Wen Tianxiang.

Zhao Dongting would not take him to make any transfers.

It was only when Xiao Yulin's name was written that Zhao Dongting hesitated slightly.

Xiao Yulin and Liu Zijun were killed from Chongqing to Kuizhou, and from Kuizhou to Xiangyang. His military merits are not low, and his age is still in his twenties.

Among the young generals in the Great Song Army, Xiao Yulin can be said to be second only to Yue Peng and Su Quandang.

Zhao Dongting deliberately wanted to promote Xiao Yulin's rank.

But after thinking about it, I finally gave up.

Promoting the young generals in the army too much now will inevitably make those veteran generals feel dissatisfied in their hearts, and then they will have uneasy thoughts.

Liu Zijun didn't move, and Xiao Yulin must not move.

It is the best choice not to give them the actual transfer and let them still belong to Yue Peng's command.

In this way, only Yue Peng's Tiankui army remained.

Among the original four generalissimos of the Great Song Dynasty, Yue Peng and Su Quandang both had pro-army directly under the central government. Wen Tianxiang and Zhang Jue did not.

This is all because Yue Peng and Su Quandang were promoted too quickly, and Zhao Dongting failed to find generals who were suitable to accept Tiankui and Tiangang.

Now, it is the time for him to prepare for a major transfer of the generals in the army, and of course he will not continue to delay this matter.

A marshal is a marshal, the master of a military region, and it is no longer convenient to take charge of the pro-army.

Behind the Tiangang Army, Zhao Dongting had three names written on it. Zhang Hongfan, Meng Tuo, Zhao Hu.

Zhang Hongfan was once the marshal of the Yuan Dynasty, and his ability to govern the army is beyond doubt. And since the vote of Song, the performance is also remarkable.

Although Mengtuo's status in the Yuan Dynasty was not as high as that of Zhang Hongfan, his performance since he surrendered to the Song Dynasty was not bad. Assisting Liu Zijun in managing the Tianxiong Army is very good.

Only the two of them turned out to be generals, which is a stain after all.

And the position of the Tiankui Army in the Great Song Dynasty Forbidden Army is quite special.

This is the elite of the Great Song Forbidden Army.

Zhao Dongting was still a little worried that handing over this army to Zhang Hongfan or Mengtuo would cause the rest of the veteran generals in the DPRK to be quite dissatisfied.

Although Yue Peng's suggestion was to let Zhang Hongfan accept Tiankuijun, in the end, he still drew a circle on Zhao Hu's name.

Zhao Hu's ability is not as good as Zhang Hongfan for the time being, but he is better at a young age and can still be cultivated. And no matter how he says, he also has experience in leading the Wyvern Army.

Zhao Dongting felt that maybe this guy could bring him some surprises.

He turned his head to look at Gonggong Liu, who was standing quietly next to him, and suddenly asked, "Gonggong Liu, do you think Deputy Commander Zhao Hu Zhao might be the commander of the Tiankui Army?" ”

Gonggong Liu was slightly stunned, and then only said: "Deputy Commander Zhao Hu is loyal to the emperor. ”

He didn't answer positively.

But Zhao Dongting naturally understood what he meant, and no longer hesitated at the moment.

In this way, the Xianglong Military Region is decided. Basically, except for Yue Peng's resignation as commander of the Tiankui Army, there were no substantive changes.

and then to the Zhenbei Military Region of Su Quandang.

The original Su Quandang had five armies: Tiangang, Tianying, Tianfu, Tianman, and Tianli.

Among them, Jin Hao, the commander of the Tianfu Army, and Jiang Xiu, the commander of the Tianman Army, are still in their prime and do not need to make any transfers.

The same is true of He Fangsong of the Tianying Army.

The three of them guarded Ezhou, and their military exploits were not very obvious here. It's also easy to get bounties.

Only Su Quandang needed to step down as the commander of the Tiangang Army, and Liu Zaiyuan, the commander of the Tianli Army, was killed again. These two armies have to be replaced with new commanders.

Su Quandang's proposal was to let Yu Xingwen, the commander of the Tianli Army, take over the post of commander of the Tianli Army. The commander of the Tiangang Army was succeeded by Ma Fei, the head of the Sword Regiment of the Tiangang Army.

The commander of the special regiment is actually almost half a level higher than the ordinary regiment commander, and it is not abrupt for Ma Fei to take over as the commander of the Tiangang Army.

After all, it turned out that the deputy commander of the Tiangang Army and Du Yuhou were only veterans sent by the DPRK, and their abilities were not outstanding. What's more, they are approaching retirement age.

Zhao Dongting looked at the list of those who could be promoted to the position of military commander that he had written after the Tiangang Army and the Tianli Army, and he was silent for a long time.

Liu Zaiyuan was killed in battle, and Yu Xingwen served as the army commander. He didn't have a problem with that.

Cheng Peizi is still serving as Du Yuhou.

It's just that the position of deputy commander needs someone to be on top.

That's all there are to choose from.

The regimental commanders in each army have the qualifications to be promoted to the deputy commander of the Tianli Army.
