The Northern Han Imperial Palace is still majestic.

It's just that the protagonist has changed people, and the Yaoguang Hall is usually the place where the Han lord enjoys it, and at this time, Qi Tianzi sits high on the top.

Liu Jun, Empress Guo, Guo Wuwei, Wei Rong, Liu Jihao, Liu Jien, Liu Jiyuan and others were present.

Liu Jun's face was pale and pale, standing at the head of the city with Qi Tianzi, the banner of the Qi army covering the sky and the sun under the city, and the scene of "long live" like a tsunami in the black pressure army mountain is still vivid, and now, his heart is still beating.

Led three important ministers and two adopted sons to meet Qi Tianzi, to Qi Tianzi to set up a banquet, Liu Jun has not recovered from the fright, completely wooden people are generally led by people, participated in the surrender and sealing ceremony, until now, the mind is still a mess, just a vague thought, I don't know, Qi Tianzi will do with himself.

It was Queen Guo who secretly wiped her tears from time to time, and when she knelt down to Qi Tianzi, her heart was full of humiliation, and she didn't know why, she suddenly became a prisoner of the country.

Won't you be able to repel the Qi army soon? Isn't it the mighty Khitan, who has already sent reinforcements on the way?

How so?

Guo Wuwei, Wei Rong and Liu Jihao have different looks, as the three most important courtiers under the Han lord, Guo Wuwei is the minister of state, in charge of military and political affairs, Wei Rong is the Zhongshu Shilang, Tongping Zhangshi, the most important senator of the Han lord, Liu Jihao is Hongluqing, but in fact, Liu Jihao is good at business, helping the Han State to open mines and cook silver, and is the God of Wealth of the Han State.

Speaking of which, Guo Wuwei was born as a Taoist, while Liu Jihao cut his hair and became a monk in Wutai Mountain in his early years, and he was born as a monk.

This monk was invited out of the mountain by Liu Jun when he was a hermit, which shows that Liu Jun is thirsty for talents, and has a persistent preference for hermits.

Liu Jun has no children, and Liu Jien and Liu Jiyuan are both his nephews and adopted sons.

Liu Jun was named the Duke of Pengcheng County, and Empress Guo was named the Lady of Badong County, but Liu Jien and Liu Jiyuan did not receive any gifts.

Glancing at them from the corner of his eye, Lu Ning shook his head in his heart, these two are not good goods, and now that they are adults, it can be said that their personalities, world views, etc. have been basically fixed, so it is difficult to change anything.

Among the two, especially this Liu Jiyuan, after succeeding to the throne, he killed Queen Guo, and killed all Liu Jun's brothers who did not die, and he is also one of the cruel and murderous tyrants of the current era, but the Northern Han Dynasty was weak and died soon, Liu Jiyuan did not leave too many traces in history.

However, these have nothing to do with themselves, it's just that these two guys don't want to be prominent in this dynasty.

"Duke Peng Cheng, then Liu Jiye, I still need Duke Peng Cheng to persuade him to surrender, and then let him restore his original surname, do you think it's okay?" Lu Ning suddenly asked with a smile.

Liu Jun was in a trance, and he didn't hear what Lu Ning said at all.

Guo Wuwei hurriedly got up from his seat and took a deep look, "Your Majesty, after the banquet, the minister and Peng Chenggong went to reprimand Yang Jiye together, and he must be made to repent!" ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly.

Guo Wuwei, Wei Rong and Liu Jihao, and Lu Ning were all retained, but except for Guo Wuwei, the rest of the people were with Liu Jun, and they had to leave for Bianjing in a few days, and they could not be allowed to stay in Taiyuan, otherwise, if it was not good for the Khitan war outside Yanmen Pass, it would be difficult to ensure that these people did not move their minds, not afraid of 10,000, just in case.

Guo Wuwei was retained as the deputy envoy of the governor of Shanxi Province.

Guo Wuwei is a talented person and knows current affairs very well, but such a person, if the opportunity is right, he will also become a powerful minister and a traitorous minister.

But under his command, it should be fine, not to mention, Shanxi, also needs a person who is familiar with the local situation to help win people's hearts.

Now, outside the Jinyang town of the first army of Jingshu, the palace army, the Shenwu army and the three armies of the Beijing garrison have already set out their camps and headed for Daizhou, and earlier there was a messenger who took Liu Jun's letter to persuade him to surrender, even if the Daizhou guards do not surrender, it should not be difficult to break the city.

Speaking of which, the population of the Han State is not large, but only in Taiyuan City, there are 30,000 soldiers and a large amount of grain and grass.

Of the 30,000 soldiers, about half of them were released to return to their hometowns to farm, and the rest of the soldiers were temporarily retained for heavy use to transport grain from Taiyuan to Daizhou, and in the future, they could form a camp in Shanxi.

The north of Daizhou is Yanmen Pass, and outside Yanmen Pass, it is Yunzhou and Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou and other states in the Youyun Prefectures.

Yunzhou is the Datong of later generations, but now the Khitan people do not pay much attention to its strategic location, only set up the Datong military festival, and it will be decades later before it is promoted to Xijing Datong Mansion, one of the five capitals of Liao.

Yunzhou is also the first strategic goal of Lu Ning's expedition.

As for the Northern Han region, it's just an appetizer.

However, although it was much more complete than expected, the soldiers took Jinyang City without blood.

But the digestion of the western part of Hedong Mountain is much more complicated, especially since the Northern Han Dynasty has just been destroyed, it is necessary to use the old land of the Northern Han Dynasty as the rear support of the Northern Expedition to stabilize the military and people's hearts here, and there is no room for loss.

At the same time as the canonization of the Liu family, Lu Ning also issued an edict to set up Shanxi Province and govern Taiyuan Mansion, with jurisdiction over Taiyuan Mansion, Fenzhou, Shizhou, Xianzhou, Lanzhou, Xinzhou, and Daizhou, a total of one government and six states.

Although Shanxi Province today has the smallest population and the narrowest area among the provinces, Lu Ning appointed the governor of Shanxi Province as Dou Yi, and Yin of Taiyuan Prefecture as Guanyuan.

One is a famous minister who ruled the world, and the other is a person who met in Quanzhang in his early years and was greatly appreciated by Lu Ning.

Gao Laonian was also appointed as the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment.

Gao Laonian, a late bloomer, is half a loess old man, only to worship the "General Academy of Literature" as a teacher, and then all the way up.

He is also one of the "new-style officials" under the influence of Xinxue, which Lu Ning often pays attention to.

Now he is appointed as the training envoy of the Daizhou regiment because in Lu Ning's plan, as a base for transporting grain to Yanmen Pass, Daizhou is in Shanxi, and its strategic location is only second only to Jinyang City.

As the hub of the temporary border fortress, Daizhou does not need to separate the military and the government from the state generals, but sets up regimental training envoys, and the military and government are managed in an integrated manner.

However, although the envoys of the Daizhou regiment have been appointed, and Gao Laonian received the military order earlier, Yu has now arrived in Jinyang, but in fact, Daizhou has not yet returned.

There is a similar situation in Lanzhou and Xinzhou, which are under the control of the Zhejia army.

Shizhou captured by the party.

Lanzhou and Xinzhou are fine, now they have to rely on the Zhejia army to maintain stability, and when the situation is clear, the Zhejia army will return to Fuzhou.

Shizhou City, which was breached by the party members, was a little troublesome.

Obviously, the party people also know that now is a golden opportunity to expand their power, and the Qi people are definitely unwilling to tear their faces and fall into the dilemma of multi-front warfare, so they did not return Lingzhou under the rule of Zhao Kuangyin as they had captured, but firmly occupied Shizhou, but did not advance eastward, but on the table, saying that Shizhou is the historical residence of the party people, asking Emperor Qi for mercy, and giving Shizhou to the acting of the difficult army, and said that the whole family of the party is willing to serve the emperor and go north to crusade against the Khitans.

The so-called northward expedition to Liao, naturally is to expand to the northwest, the Mongolian steppe tribes in the northwest of the Dangxiang people, only nominally respect the Khitan lord as the emperor, the Khitan people have not yet implemented effective rule, until Xiao Yanyan's second sister and Concubine Han went west, will gradually control the inner and outer Mongolian grasslands firmly in their hands.

At present, the Dangxiang people invade the western part of the Inner Mongolia grassland in the northwest to reap the profits, and the Khitan people have no time to take care of it.

In addition, the Dangxiang people will definitely invade westward into the Hetao area, that is, the area of the former Tang River west of the Jiedu occupied by the Tubo tribe.

In this way, the power of the party members will inevitably be greatly expanded.

However, if the party members want to take the opportunity to expand, what they will do after their Northern Expedition, because of the reason of understanding history, Lu Ning can guess with his eyes closed, and he also has a plan about this.
