Chapter Seventy-Six: Outside the Senese (I)

In the study, Lu Ning looked at the young man with red lips and white teeth in front of him with interest, this is Han Derang.

Empress Dowager Xiao's lover, Wen Taowu's capable minister, on martial arts, whether it is the battle of the Gaoliang River that defeated Zhao Guangyi or the later repelled the Song Army's four-way Northern Expedition, Han Derang's figure is indispensable.

However, now he is just in his early twenties, naturally, he is not the great Liao prime minister in history, he always knows the affairs of the privy envoys of the North and South Courts, and is in charge of the military and political affairs of the Liao State.

But listening to his various actions before the battle, coupled with knowing his famous reputation in history, it also makes people a little hairy, this guy is not destined to be a thing in the pool.

However, as long as I can survive you and prevent you from making trouble for my children and grandchildren, don't you want to be a cow and a horse for me for the rest of your life? Glowing?

Lu Ning thought about it, and he was also in his heart, but it had been a long time, he hadn't joked with himself like this, and gradually became a local custom, and it was rare to have a personal name, which could make him feel like he had just come to this world at a certain moment.

However, it was just a joke of self-deprecation, in fact, Han Derang in history may not have much ambition, but the torrent of history and the special relationship with the Empress Dowager Xiao pushed him to that position, in addition to maintaining the Empress Dowager Xiao and her son, Han Derang did not show any characteristics of encroaching on power in addition to being arrogant in the later period, and the Empress Dowager Xiao's son Liao Shengzong has always been close to his relationship like father and son, and Dolgon, which is completely different.

"Did you see your father?" Lu Ning asked.

Now, Lu Ning is stationed in Yanzhou, and nearly a month has passed since the shooting of Yelu Xidi.

During this time, Lu Ning ordered the armies to be repaired in the guard, and rewarded the three armies and rewarded the meritorious soldiers, after all, the Northern Han Dynasty was extinguished, and the Kyushu behind the mountains was more full of clouds, and the strategic initiative was obtained, and the first phase of the battle was won.

Of course, the Youzhou lands are the main event.

For example, in the later period of Liao, the statistics of the villagers, including Beijing, Tokyo, Shangjing, and the three capitals together, are only 230,000. In Nanjing, there were 570,000 townships, and Yunzhou and other Kyushu prefectures behind the mountains, that is, Xijing Mansion later, had 320,000 townships.

At present, the ruling center of the Liao State has not yet moved south, but Youdu is definitely the most densely populated and prosperous area of the Khitan.

When the armies were repaired, the reservists of the armies in front of the palace, Jingshu, Hedong and Hebei were also supplemented into the front-line troops, and at the same time, the soldiers and military households of various prefectures recruited strong men into the garrison reserves.

At the same time, Zhang Yanqing's department of the Huainan battalion, with a total of 10,000 soldiers, was changed to the "Beining Army", pulled the camp to the north, and reorganized the Huainan battalion, recruited 10,000 brave soldiers from Huainan Prefecture.

In Datong, the newly surrendered Southern Army and the Bohai Department and other soldiers were organized as the "Datong Army", all of which were military households, stationed in the area of Shenhekou, and the grassland in the north of Yunzhou became the pasture of the Bohai Surrender Household.

The Shenwu army was stationed in Yunzhou, and the two armies of Beijing and Shu rushed to Yanzhou, and the army in front of the palace met in front of Juyong Pass, and when they left Juyong Pass, they could attack Youzhou.

After such a series of transfers, the Jingshu Army, the Dianqian Army, the Hedong Army, and the Hebei Army can encircle Youzhou at any time.

In fact, the bottom of Yeluxi was annihilated, and countless war horses were obtained, and the rapid mobility of the Shenwu Army was finally scolded by everyone.

In addition, the battle of the Sanggan River, one after another, the Liao army tribal cavalry 30,000, more than 20,000 were killed and captured, only a few thousand horses fled north, the military newspaper sang on all sides, not only morale was greatly boosted, even after the Di newspaper reported to the whole country, the people have long been enthusiastic, in recent times, Bianjing's Goolan Washe, there are many more war puppet shows, the military and the people's hearts, boosted to a fairly high excitement point.

Many generals thought that the Son of Heaven would take advantage of the victory to pursue, lead troops out of Juyong Pass, and attack Youzhou with the army.

However, the Holy Son of Heaven began to work and ordered the ministries to repair.

Even, although taking advantage of the slack began to recruit a large number of people to transport materials to Hebei, but the focus is still on the construction of the Yellow River dam, every winter, all rivers, recruit people to repair water conservancy, the Yellow River, is the top priority.

Of course, today's so-called forced labor is actually paid, but the wages are less.

In the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River disaster was not light, often whimsical to make the Yellow River reroute to prevent the Khitans, how to facilitate water transportation, etc., and even Wang Anshi and other characters were not exempt from vulgarity, which made the Yellow River often burst the embankment, and later in order to resist the Jin soldiers to dig up the Yellow River, so that the Yellow River seized the Huai into the sea, and directly turned the Central Plains into the Yellow Flood Area.

Coming to this era, it is simply impossible not to be afraid of the Yellow River, and the governance of the Yellow River has always been a compulsory subject every winter after Lu Ning seized the Central Plains, and the various specialized supervision agencies are even more numerous, and until now, there have been no middle-level officials who dare to fill their pockets in the water control, because although Qi Lu inherited the emperor's generous and benevolent heart, but the greedy people in the construction of water conservancy and disaster relief and disaster relief are the only two to retain the punishment of the people, and the smart people will understand the meaning, plus the new dynasty and the new atmosphere, it is the beginning of the rise, Officials are relatively incorruptible.

Therefore, the majority of Qi people today do not feel the impact of the war.

Lu Ning was influenced by later generations, even now, he doesn't think it's useful to gather too many troops, the main battles are always those elites, cannon fodder looks scary like more military horses, not only does it consume a lot of military food in vain, making the logistical pressure extremely heavy, and on the battlefield, it is easy to be chopped and chopped into a breakthrough and a burden. And Shun

On the contrary, a complete reserve force that can quickly replenish the strength of the main combat force is the royal way.

Now, in addition to ordering the reserve forces of various armies to replenish the source of troops, and recruiting brave soldiers from the state soldiers and military households to enter the reserve army, only 10,000 Huainan troops have been transferred to reinforce the Hebei battlefield.

Of course, the combat strength of the Huainan Army was worse than that of the Hebei Army and the Hedong Army, and more, undertaking defensive tasks.

Lu Ning did not take advantage of the victory to pursue, but took advantage of the slack to repair the army to replenish the source of troops and transport war materials into Hebei at the same time, which was to learn the lessons of the Song Dynasty and the Khitan people, the Song army fought with the Khitan several times, the initial period was very smooth, the loss was lost in impatience and light advance, and finally the Khitan people won and defeated.

Now, Lu Ning just wants to fight steadily, step by step, and even if the Liao lord does not take the initiative to attack, it will take two years to digest Yunzhou and other seven states behind the mountain.

Not long after Yelu Xidi was defeated, the army of the Liao lord had already arrived in Youzhou.

Nowadays, there should be some monks who are confused, obviously the Qi army is in Juyong Pass all the way, and the two roads are in the south of Juma Henan, and the next step is to attack Youzhou, but the Qi army leads but does not start, as if, the original goal of the Qi people is the seven states behind the mountain, and they don't want to capture Youzhou.

In fact, Lu Ning thought about it, he led the Shenwu army out to contact and appease Bai Dadan's tribes, if Bai Dadan's troops were willing to cooperate, he could lead the Shenwu army to gallop across the grassland, and even attack Beijing in the northeast, only you can attack my capital, and now do the opposite, so that the Khitan people take care of one and lose the other.

However, later I still felt that it was also a risk to advance lightly, Bai Dadan's tribes themselves were full of contradictions, and they led their own troops to advance lightly, once Bai Dadan's troops repented, they fell into Liaodi alone, not to mention that they were not dangerous, they were afraid of causing domestic shocks and what big changes would happen.

Yes, it is still a conservative move, and in the end, it is better to face off with the main Khitan in Youzhou under the condition of full preparation.

Of course, Lu Ning still sent an envoy to appease Bai Dadanbu outside the West Exit (Shenhekou), whether it had any effect or not was another matter.

He himself, stationed in Baoan Town.

That is, the Liao people changed their name to Wuzhou in Naturalized Prefecture, and Lu Ning was more of a security military town, set up a regiment to train envoys, and was an official of the four products, in charge of the military and civilian border affairs of Dongkou.

Fuzhou, which was changed to "Khan Prefecture", was abolished by Lu Ning and subordinated to the prime minister of Baoan Town.

And because the Yellow Emperor's Mausoleum was changed to "Fengshengzhou" by the Liao people, it was renamed Zhuolu Military Town, and the same as the security military town, set up regiments to train envoys, tun military households, and security towns for each other's horns, guarding border affairs.

Confidential Lang Yuan Jizhong was promoted from the regimental training envoy of Jinning Town to the regimental training envoy of Baoan Town, and was promoted to six levels in a row.

After all, Jinning Town, from the county, is no more than seven products, and the Baoan Town regimental training envoy can be said to be an important general and official in the border area, and it is the fourth product.

Han Deshu, the deputy commander of the Nanjing soldiers and horses of the Liao State, who surrendered with Han Derang, was appointed as the training envoy of the Zhuolu Town Regiment.

Summoned Han Derang today, it was also the first time to meet him, his father was captured, and now he has surrendered, Lu Ning asked, Han Derang hurriedly bowed, "Yes, I saw my father, and my father regretted not being at the beginning!" ”

Lu Ning bowed slightly, "Okay, from today on, you will follow me and be a confidential man." ”

Han Derang was stunned, in front of this Emperor Qiren, he was very trembling in his heart, this kind of elegant imperial momentum unique to the Central Plains without anger was not available to the ancestors of the Liao Kingdom, let alone the current Liao Lord, not to mention, the other party glanced at it lightly, as if he could see through everything you thought of the indifferent gaze.

In fact, because he saw that the Qi army was so heroic and good at fighting, he couldn't help but be in awe of the Nanren Emperor in his heart, but there was something even more terrifying, this Nanren Emperor actually led a light horse, pursued and shot Yelu Xidi, this news, how to cause shock in the Khitan country, Han Derang can imagine.

In front of such a British lord, Han Derang unconsciously had huge psychological pressure.

Listening to Qi Tianzi's words, Han Derang was stunned, he could be summoned by Qi Tianzi in person, and he felt a little incredible.

But he didn't want to, Qi Tianzi wanted to keep himself by his side, which shows the importance he attaches to himself as a general.

After being stunned for a while, Han Derang came back to his senses and hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you, Your Majesty, the minister will do his best in the future and serve His Majesty to the death!" ”

Lu Ning smiled, bowed slightly, and said, "Come with me to Swallow City tomorrow." ”

"Yes, the minister!" Han Derang, busy with the head.
