In the early hours of the night, when 300,000 residents of Yanjing City were asleep, there was a sudden noise.

The vast majority of the 300,000-year-old Liao people in Yanjing City did not expect the emperor to run tonight, and even those soldiers who were responsible for protecting the emperor to break through the siege did not know what to do tonight, and the order they received was to go out of the city and attack the enemy army at night.

Most of the local defenders of Yanjing are in the city, if they don't hide it like this, how can these people give their lives to help an emperor who wants to abandon the city and flee?

The gates of the city were opened, and teams of men and horses rushed out of the city, shouting and killing, resounding in the sky.

Some Liao troops rushed out of the city for a long time, and not a single enemy soldier saw it.

As soon as some Liao troops left the city not far away, they were besieged, and the battle was dark, killing the enemy and me.

The battle of tens of thousands of people has played the momentum of hundreds of thousands of people, just because there are shouts and killings everywhere, and there are bloody battles everywhere.

Gan Qi watched and listened, and shook his head, knowing that tonight, the emperor of the Liao Kingdom still escaped nine times out of ten. Do your best, obey the destiny of heaven, Yanjing City extends in all directions, there are roads everywhere, and the place where Yanjing is located is also a flat area.

Gan Qi wanted to completely trap this city to death, and trapped the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji here, if there was an army of 100,000 people, carefully arranged everywhere, maybe it could be done, and it was difficult for a good woman to cook without rice.

The shouting of killing continued for two hours, and when the sky began to lighten, everything slowly stopped.

The 30,000 Liao troops in the city all rushed out, several roads were ambushed and the whole army was wiped out, and many more rushed out of the city, and they didn't know where they were at this time.

Gan Qi entered the city, and Gan Qi, who was standing at the head of the city, looked down on the huge Yanjing City.

This city, in the future, will be the center of thousands of years of China, here is the emperor's appearance, the land of the dragon and the tiger, the Ming Dynasty is here the Son of Heaven guards the country, the Qing Dynasty sits here in the southeast and northwest, north to Siberia and the entire vast Mongolian steppe, west to Xinjiang and Tibet, south to Yunnan and Hainan, east to Taiwan.

There is also a new dynasty, and it is here that the dragon rises.

Ganchi was now standing on top of the ancient city. There are still many Liao troops outside the city who turned back in confusion, they were released out of the city as suspicious soldiers at night to attract firepower, and after going out, almost a Song army did not meet, turned back, Yanjing City has changed its banner, and it is no longer a Khitan Liao.

The panicked Liao army patrolled several times in the distance outside the city, and most of them turned around and left, but there were also some who did not want to go, took off their armor, found a place to hide outside the city, and waited for the city gate to open again, and entered the city to reunite with their families.

Gan Qi actually doesn't care about this, he is willing to see these soldiers come back secretly, it's not that Gan Qi wants to settle accounts after the autumn, but Gan Qi also wants to recruit soldiers, no matter where the soldiers come from, as long as they are strong and can carry a body of armor weighing dozens of pounds, Gan Qi wants it, if he can play with weapons and crossbows, it is even more unbelievable.

As for whether the military is loyal or not, in this era, it is not a problem at all, especially in Yanjing City, it is not a problem, Gan Qi has always loved soldiers like children, giving money, food and meat to eat, where can I find such a good commander for the military man? What's more, most of the people in Yanjing City are still Han people, which has a natural sense of belonging.

When Gan Qi saw the Liao army outside the city, he immediately sent people out of the city to post a surrender notice, and the treatment was favorable, as if it was recruitment.

As the sun rises, most of the residents in Yanjing City have woken up since the early hours of the morning, listening to the shouts and killings everywhere, and trembling all night.

When the day dawned, there was no one on the street, but there were eyes in the gaps between the doors and windows on both sides of the street, looking at the neat steps of the iron armor on the street.

The iron armor patrolling the street also kept shouting: "Gan Xiang has an order, the army must not disturb the people when entering the city, the business that should make a living, the store that should open a store, and what should be done." ”

"Gan Xianggong still has an order, if anyone refers to the family of the official, there will be a heavy reward!"

"We are all out, we are the army of the Great Song Dynasty, and we are extraordinary to ordinary people, only looking for officials, is there anyone who comes out to lead a road to testify, there are many rewards!"

Finally, someone opened the door, and when he opened the door, he shouted: "I am Han, I am Han, I know a Khitan official's house......"

The inner city of Yanjing City has long been banned by the military and Han people, many yamen, and many big families are in it, and the military and Han people rushed in one by one like wolves and tigers, and people were tied to the ground, and the food and valuable ones were all moved and piled together in the courtyard.

It is okay to use "raiding the house" to describe it, and it is okay to describe it as "robbery".

Naturally, there were many officials living in the outer city, and countless people rushed into every house with the road.

Then, of course, there was a tragedy.

The emperor ran away, leaving such a large city, and countless people in it, big families, and court officials, and the losses were not heavy.

Gan Qi made a fortune, and just those Han Caiqing Han family made Gan Qi's investment in this war recouped. Gan Qi didn't even see who Han Caiqing was, but he personally gave an order, the people of the Han family, the land of the Han family, and the money of the Han family could not be let go.

Under the nest, Ann has finished eggs? If you don't get rich, Gan Qi will go bankrupt.

The palace in Yanjing is not very big, only enough for Gan Qi to walk around for half an hour, but this palace is almost intact, and even the dragon robe of the emperor of Liao has not had time to take away, and the crown of the dragon head on the gilded plate has also been turned out by the soldiers.

Standing on the steps of the main hall, looking at the beaming soldiers, Gan Qi felt a great sense of accomplishment at this moment.

The soldiers in the square in front of the main hall looked up at their Gan Xianggong, couldn't suppress the excitement in their hearts, and shouted: "Gan Xianggong is mighty!" ”

"Gan Xianggong is mighty!"

"Gan Xianggong is mighty!"

Di Qing stood beside Gan Qi and said with a smile: "Dao Jian, how about forming a new army?" It's called the Mighty Army! ”

Gan Qi looked at the soldiers in front of him who raised his arms and shouted, and nodded: "Okay, just form a mighty army, 50,000 people, and station it in the south of Yanjing City." ”

In this era, once an army is famous, it will have territory, and it will also be an administrative region, such as the Baoding Army on the border of the Liao-Song Dynasty. Why should this army be given a territorial administrative district? One is the defense area, and the other point is "food", that is, this territory is specially designed to supply food to this army, otherwise it will be transported back and forth, and it will cost countless people.

The south of Yanjing City is the land of the Han family, and now that this land belongs to Ganqi, then the mighty army will directly feed on these lands.

Di Qing heard that Gan Qi had decided on his own, and immediately reminded Gan Qi: "Dao Jian, this matter has to be reported to the Privy Council, and the Privy Council has agreed." ”

Gan Qi smiled and shook his head: "Di Xianggong, I want to be a privy envoy." ”

Di Qing was stunned when he heard this, looked at Gan Qi, a little surprised, but wanted to turn around again, and said with a smile: "Haha...... Privy envoy, okay, Dao Jian is a privy envoy, this time he is so great, the privy envoy deserves it! ”

"I not only want to form a mighty army, but also divide the existing army into two, half into a mighty army, half into a Wansheng army, Wansheng army stationed at the pass, guarding the first line of Yanshan, 100,000 Wansheng army, 50,000 mighty army, so temporarily enough." Ganqi has a great appetite, and if he has money and food, he will lack people.

"It's that this manpower is afraid that it will be difficult to recruit for a while, and there are 150,000 troops in armaments, and the cost of armaments should be astronomical." Di Qing was already thinking about these things.

"The mighty army I want to recruit more men from the northwest, Uncle Di has to help me in this matter, Wan Shengjun will first use half of the current men and horses as the foundation, and then fill in the Yanyun soldiers to select the strong, and then select from the two roads of Hebei and Hedong Road, and even the strong and strong in the Gyeonggi Forbidden Army must be selected and transferred. As for the armament, there are 100,000 troops of the Liao State in Yanfangdian, and there are also a lot of armaments in the armor arsenal of Yanjing City. ”

Gan Qi has a plan, there must be an army of 150,000, and the Liao State will not leave much time for Gan Qi, and after the Liao Emperor returns to Zhongjing or goes to Beijing, he will definitely immediately dispatch troops.

The process of going back, plus the dispatch of troops, and coming back again, is about three or four months. This is not only about the deployment of troops, but also about raising food and grass.

In other words, if the Liao State wants to start a war with Ganqi, there are still three or four months to go. This is when Ganchi prepares for the next big battle.

But Gan Qi was not very worried, because he would go north in two days, and when Gan Qi dealt with the affairs of Yanjing and arranged all the things to receive the sixteen states of Yanyun, Gan Qi would immediately leave for the north. Although the Great Wall is not so complete today, the passes of the main passes are intact.

There are these passes and key roads, no matter how many hundreds of thousands of troops come from the Liao, it is more difficult than climbing to the sky to enter Yanyun again.

Yuguan, Zunhua, Gubeikou, this side is facing the Liao State Zhongjing, Yuguan is close to the sea, Gubeikou is the most suitable for the army, and it is also the most important. Juyongguan, Zhangjiakou, and then to the west is Datong, which is mainly to guard against the Liao State from the grassland. There are also some small passes, which are not suitable for the operation of large armies. Mainly block these key points, and this line of defense will be blocked.

Yanjing City, to the nearest mountain pass, only a hundred and ten miles, go quickly, half a day's trip. In other words, Yanjing has now become a place of the country.

Di Qing heard Gan Qi say that he wanted to recruit men from the northwest as soldiers, and hesitated: "Recruiting men from the northwest to come to Yanyun as soldiers, I'm afraid it will be difficult." ”

"That's why I want Uncle Di to raise your arms and exhale, I know that Uncle Di must have a way." Gan Qi smiled, to say that in the entire Great Song Dynasty now, only the northwest can send strong troops.

First, because the people in the northwest are already fierce, and secondly, because the northwest has been fighting with the Western Xia, and after the war is over, the friction in the small war has also continued, and it has never been interrupted for decades.

The third reason is that the local government also advocates a fierce folk customs, such as under the rule of the Northwest Farming Family, and even directly stipulates that if the colonel can pull a hard bow and shoot the bull's-eye, he can be directly exempted. Therefore, the people under the rule of the family are accustomed to shooting.

For these reasons, the Northwest men are the best source of soldiers. And the Northwest is the only place where there is less rejection of being a soldier. In this Great Song Dynasty, the more wars there were, the higher the status of the soldiers, and the more places where there were no wars, the lower the status of the soldiers. The people of the Northwest do not reject the military men, and even have a certain respect for the military men, so the Northwest men are naturally not so reluctant to be soldiers, and it is not difficult to recruit soldiers.

Gan Qi believed that Di Qing had a way to help him recruit people from the northwest to serve as soldiers, firstly because of Di Qing's reputation and appeal in the northwest, and secondly because of Di Qing's relationship with many generals in the northwest.

Di Qing listened to Gan Qi's smile and smiled bitterly: "Dao Jian, I'll write a dozen letters to try, but as the saying goes, people go to tea and cool, I've been away from the northwest for a few years, but I don't know if they still remember me." ”

"Where is this, Di Xianggong is going out, and it is proper, that is, those men heard that Di Xianggong was going to recruit troops and buy horses, how could they not come?" Gan Qi has trust in Di Qing, and now that Di Qing is still alive, then he has to make the best use of it and give full play to all the roles of Di Qing.

"If there are only three or two kittens at that time, don't blame me." Di Qing also laughed heartily.

"In two days, I will take people to the north, and all the things in Yanjing City will have to be handled by Di Xianggong." Gan Qi finally gave it a request.

This Yanjing City, Lao Di Qing still has to be in charge, there are still many things to do, send people to various states and counties in Yanyun, three or five hundred people in one state can take over the city, the emperor has run away, and there is no talk of resistance. In addition to receiving the city, it is to deal with the affairs of the powerful families under the rule of the Liao State in the past, which is not only conducive to the internal stability of Yanyun, is conducive to the rule, but also to Ganqi's money bag.

Di Qing also had to help Gan Qi arrange for the forbidden army transferred from Hebei to settle in various prefectures and counties in Yanyun, which was almost the overall move of the defense force on the Liao-Song border to the north by more than 200 miles, that is, more than 100 kilometers, which was actually not a very cumbersome project.

After receiving the pass, Gan Qi then had to free up his hands to deal with the so-called Great Yan Kingdom.

When Gan Qi temporarily arranged the matter of Yanyun two days later, and was about to leave for the north, he suddenly saw a person, Zeng Xiaokuan from Bianliang.

Zeng Xiaowan carried the holy decree, from Bianliang to Xiongzhou, did not see Gan Qi, and from Xiongzhou to Guiyi, did not see Gan Qi, I heard that this Gan Xiangcheng led the troops to attack Yanjing City, which frightened Zeng Xiaokuan.

Along the way, Zeng Xiaokuan didn't think that Gan Qi would knock down Yanjing City, only worry and anxiety remained, the holy decree was in his hand, and the content of the holy decree was to let Gan Qi value peace, hurry up and negotiate peace, not to mention the expansion of the war, just see it.

Gan Qi also went to fight Yanjing, when he heard about it at the first time, Zeng Xiaokuan was frightened, the Liao people had an army of more than 100,000 people, Gan Qi took 20,000 or 30,000 people to fight Yanjing, isn't this self-defeating?

Therefore, Zeng Xiaokuan rushed to Yanjing, wanting to call Gan Qi back when Gan Qi had not yet found a dead end.

It's just that Zeng Xiaokuan didn't expect that when he arrived at Yanjing City, this Yanjing City would change hands.

With the identity of the Qin Cha to open the city gate, Zeng Xiaokuan was shocked in addition to being shocked, and he went all the way to see Gan Qi, Zeng Xiaokuan was still in shock and did not come back to his senses.

Zeng Xiaokuan met Gan Qi in the square in front of the Yanjing Palace, and Gan Qi was ordering soldiers and horses on the square, preparing to go north.

"Xiaokuan, why are you here?" Gan Qi was also a little surprised when he saw Zeng Xiaokuan, how could he run to the place where the war was fought if he was a good Beijing official?

"Gan Xianggong, Holy ...... The holy decree ......" Zeng Xiaokuan handed over the holy decree, and also looked around at the Liao Imperial Palace in Yanjing City, the look of shock was still gone, he wanted to ask Gan Qi why he knocked down Yanjing City, but he didn't know how to ask.

Gan Qi took the holy decree, and after reading it, he said with a smile: "Xiaokuan, your holy decree is too late, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji has fled, and now the sixteen states of Yanyun are all in my hands." ”

Gan Qi handed the holy decree to Zeng Xiaokuan again, Zeng Xiaokuan took the holy decree, and asked, "That...... Gan Xianggong, how can I recover my life when I go back? ”

"You just said that I annihilated the 100,000 main forces of the Liao State in the east of Yanjing City, and then captured Yanjing City, the Liao Emperor Yelu Hongji fled north overnight, and I was marching to Yanshan Pass, and the sixteen states of Yanyun have returned to the Song Dynasty! You can go back quickly and return to your life, I will lead the troops to the north, and reunite in Bianliang in the future! It stands to reason that Gan Qi and Zeng Xiaokuan are familiar with each other, and they should receive it, but Gan Qi is in a hurry to leave, so he will only talk about it later.

Zeng Xiaokuan nodded stunned, watching the majestic Gan Qi turn over on his horse in iron armor, and the army gathered in the palace square had already set off with Gan Qi's horse steps.

Zeng Xiaokuan came back to his senses, and immediately became excited, and a shock could not be suppressed, the sixteen states of Yanyun returned to the Song Dynasty?

Zeng Xiaokuan still didn't understand, and felt that everything was unbelievable, but no matter how unbelievable it was, the Liao Imperial Palace in front of him was extremely real, confirming Gan Qi's words.

"Yes, yes, yes, you have to hurry back to Bianliang to report the victory, such a great victory, when the whole country celebrates, when the temple is opened, comfort the ancestors......" Zeng Xiaokuan was so excited that he muttered to himself, turned around and ran, and stopped his footsteps not far away, he didn't understand what was going on, he had to find someone to ask first, otherwise he would go back to Bianliang, His Majesty the Emperor asked, and he didn't know how to answer.

In Yanjing City, there is a busy mess, ironclad soldiers come and go, robbing homes everywhere, but there are still Han people on the roadside setting up stalls to do business, and most of the shops on the street are open. The dynasty changed, Liao became Song, some people were happy and some were unlucky, and some people became indifferent after the initial worries.

The gates of the city also began to be opened, and men were allowed to enter and leave the city after being examined, and from time to time a group of soldiers went out of the city, three or five hundred, and the destination was all the states and counties.

Of the 25,000 or 6,000 men and horses, Gan Qi took more than 10,000, and thousands of people from various states and counties had to go, and thousands of people robbed homes in this city were almost not enough.

There is also a privy envoy of the Great Yan Kingdom, who also returned to Luanzhou with a large army at this time, with an army of 200,000, and only more than 20,000 when he returned to Luanzhou.

The Great Yan Kingdom Di Shu Mi saw His Majesty Ma Niu, the emperor of the Great Yan Kingdom, at the head of Luanzhou City.

The first thing His Majesty the Emperor said was: "Di Xiang, what about hundreds of thousands of horses?" Why is it all gone? Defeated? ”
