The rules of account sharing had been agreed with Zhao Xingde a long time ago, and Wang Hengzhi nodded hurriedly: "There are many people who contribute to the war, and it can't be fairer." He looked left and right, and said with a smile on his face: "Brothers, come here, Kaizhou Village chats about the friendship of the landlord, and it is really deserved to share the 30,000 stone military rations." Pu Tieyan thought that he was really giving in, and said anxiously: "Big boss, in order to support the military rations, our village even has no food for the winter." ”

Zhao Xingde also smiled: "The big boss is righteous, but the brothers can't let the good people suffer, right?" Wang Da is in charge, you don't have to shirk. He raised his head and looked around at the Han army village masters, and said loudly: "Everyone in charge, if there is no objection, you can come first to count the grain, grass, money and grain." "Those Han generals who strictly guarded the defense area were elated, not only did they get an extra 10,000 guan for plain money, but they also got 50 guan for each head, which added up to a lot of income for the village. The Han generals who left the defense area without permission and rushed into the city to loot were a little red-eyed, and under the look of each other, Cao Dang, the owner of Fengzhou Zhaizhai, shouted: "It's not fair, it's not fair!" ”

"Oh?" Zhao Xingde's eyes turned slightly, fell on him, and asked with a smile: "What does Lord Cao Zhai say?" Cao Dang felt a chill behind his back, and said loudly: "This head is fifty runs, without prior notice, I also killed a lot of Khitans, but I didn't cut off the head." It's not fair! ”

"Really?" Zhao Xingde's face turned cold, and he said slowly word by word: "At the beginning of the year, our army began to attack the city, and at the beginning of the day, the city wall in the north of Kaizhou was conquered. Cao Dangjia, you should have been outside the South City Gate, since you haven't been notified, then where are you at three o'clock? Yelu Yuan, the defender of Kaizhou City, escaped from the southern city. ”

"This ......" Cao Kang's black face swelled to the color of pork liver in sauce, and Nene was speechless.

"Brothers, everyone is pulling the banner of rebellion, and what we are doing is the great cause of driving the Xinghan." Zhao Xingde didn't bother with him anymore, turned to everyone, and said loudly: "The banner of righteousness in Liaodong is raised, and the counties of Bafang Prefecture are corresponding, and the world is shaken." The scholars praised the festival, and the common people rushed to tell each other, all of whom said that all of my Liaodong Han army were righteous men who stood up to the sky. Since the siege of Kaizhou, the Han army has been greatly strengthened, and the people of Liaodong regard our Han army as a benevolent and righteous army to save the people from fire and water, while the Liao court is like a thorn in the back, and regards us as a thorn in the eye and a thorn in the flesh. The Han army is not what it used to be, and you can all feel the difference before and after. Princes and generals, would you rather have a kind? Starting with today's conquest of Kaizhou, our Han army made it clear that the chariots and horses were going to fight a big battle with the Liao court. Most of the owners of the village are behind the gate, and they must also know that the two countries are not better than fighting alone, talking about military orders like mountains, military discipline like iron, and entering when they hear drums. Taking the Battle of Kaizhou as an example, if everyone guards their own defense areas and relies on trenches to intercept the Liao army, although the Khitan Hulu has the advantage of light cavalry, ten people cannot escape one person. And abandoned the defense area, diverted and swarmed into the city, so that most of the Liao army in Kaizhou broke and fled. ”

Many Han army generals were ashamed, Zhao Xingde slowed down his tone and said: "Now it's just a matter of letting go of the Khitans, it doesn't matter, there are only hundreds of thousands of Khitan men who can fight on horseback, this battle can't be killed, there are thousands of heads for the time being, let's kill them next time." He said it easily, and many Han soldiers laughed, as if the Khitan cavalry was really vulnerable, and listened to Zhao Xingde's tone and said, "However, if the enemy army has a gap because of the lax military order, which in turn puts our army in danger, we Han army brothers, I don't know how much blood will be shed in vain and how many heads will be lost." Therefore, Zhao proposed that he would not be to blame in the past, but from today onwards, the military order will be strictly marched, the army will fight, and there will be no forgiveness for violating the military order such as giving up the defense of the ground! ”

After finishing speaking, he looked around at the army and asked again: "From today onwards, meritorious deeds will be rewarded, and mistakes will be punished, do you have anything you don't want?" ”

The outside of the state government, which was still noisy just now, was silent at the moment, and the northern style of September 9 was cold, and many people remembered the story that they had almost forgotten for a long time at this time. A long, long time ago, the Han army was indeed a strong army that swept through Liaodong. It's just that the past is so old that everyone is a little indifferent to military discipline. Most of the village owners only want to eat, drink, and save their strength in the whole village. As for defeating the Liao State, seizing wealth and fame from the battlefield, princely generals, and wives and sons, it is just a distant dream. But now that Kaizhou has been conquered, the Han army has besieged the city for more than two months, and the Liao court has been unable to rescue, and 5,000 Khitan cavalry only cowered in the city to be beaten, and finally fled in a hurry, leaving tens of thousands of Khitan old and young people to beg for mercy under the sword of the Han army. Perhaps, the way of the world has really changed. So, should the Han army also change? The golden scales are not the things in the pool, the wind and thunder will turn into dragons, perhaps, the time that the Han army has been waiting for for several generations is just around the corner!

Wang Hengzhi stood directly under the state office, looking at Zhao Xingde, with mixed feelings in his heart. The marshal of the Han army was determined to pass through Suzhou Guannan, and then seize Fuzhou, Ningzhou, Hue City, Zhenhai Prefecture, and Muzhou, and wait for an opportunity to capture Liaoyang, so most of the fierce generals who were originally scattered in the Han Village of Taibai Mountain were transferred to Suzhou Guannan. Most of those who remained were the old and weak soldiers who could not be used. Therefore, Wang Hengzhi always had the mentality of sharing the pressure for Suzhou, and he didn't expect to really conquer Kaizhou. In the battle of Kaizhou, the Han army defeated 5,000 Liao soldiers and captured more than 30,000 Khitan old and weak women and children. Under this encouragement, the mentality of the Han soldiers has changed subtly.

After a moment of silence, someone said in a loud voice: "Zhao Dangjia has a point!" "That's it!" "Bastard who doesn't obey military orders, cut off his head first!" The Han soldiers almost forgot that Zhao De was not a member of the Han army, and the old qualifications began to talk about ancestral stories, putting on the prestige of the year, and the recruits were bluffed, and they were a little yearning for the future out of thin air. The leaders of the stockades were more practical, and quietly instructed his subordinates to quickly collect the enemy's heads inside and outside the city, while entering the state government with his own soldiers. This mountain of money and grain is not common, and all the generals of the Han army are amazed.

Although the rules for dividing accounts proposed by Zhao Xingde are simple, calculating rewards and finally distributing money and food is a meticulous task. These are all done by the military advisors and personal soldiers of each village. Zhao Xingde and Wang Hengzhi summoned the Han generals to discuss more important matters in the state government, dividing the defense area, that is, dividing the territory. After the matter of dividing money and grain and establishing rules, Zhao Xingde's opinion suddenly became much more important in the Han army of Taibai Mountain, and under the joint efforts of him and Wang Hengzhi, it seemed that he had been able to dominate the situation. As a result, the site division meeting went very smoothly.

Since the Han army besieged Kaizhou with great fanfare, the Liao State concentrated its forces to defend Kaizhou, and the Khitan officials and people in the nearby states and counties fled one after another, and many nearby states and counties such as Yanzhou, Muzhou, Zhengzhou, and Hengzhou have become borderless places. The Han army's stockades are all in the mountains, and it is too late to take over for a while, if it is delayed any longer, I am afraid that the Jurchen Jin Kingdom will take the opportunity to expand its power southward. Therefore, Zhao Xingde asked Wang Hengzhi to gather the generals, and according to the distance from each village, he first divided these states and counties into defense areas on the map.

Most of the Han army's stockades were originally flat and fertile, and they were previously operated and reclaimed in the prefectures and counties. The new defense area was more susceptible to harassment by the forces of the Liao and Jin states. Zhao Xingde asked them to leave the old and weak in the mountains to cultivate, and use some elite soldiers and Ding Zhuang to graze and cultivate in the flat land. Xia Guoying, on the other hand, obtained the mountains and forests along the Yalu River and its main tributaries, most of which were inaccessible places in the minds of the Han army.

Xia Guoying will rely on logging to feed tens of thousands of people. Not only did they cut down the large wood used in shipbuilding, but they also sold ordinary wood to charcoal to the Song Kingdom. Most of the giant trees that have been grown for decades or even hundreds of years are now cut down by Xia Guoying, and the quality of the charcoal produced far exceeds that of the charcoal burned by miscellaneous wood. In the Song Kingdom, the Central Plains and Jiangnan were cut down by previous dynasties, and there were few forests left, and the border forests in Hebei could not be cut down because of the relationship between the Liao State, and all parts of the Song Kingdom were in need of charcoal. Although charcoal can partially replace charcoal, it has an unpleasant smell when it burns, so wealthy businessmen still like good charcoal, and the price of charcoal is getting higher and higher. So much so that two catties of high-quality charcoal can be exchanged for one catty of grain. Now the Xia state-run not only uses the Han people to cut wood and burn charcoal, but even the Jurchen tribes along the Yalu River are also attracted to do this charcoal business. Xia Guoying also distributed more than 1,000 Khitans, and prepared to move all of them to Laiyuan County and build a city with the Goryeo captives. Li Sihai allowed the Goryeo family to give grain to redeem the captives, which not only eliminated the hidden dangers among the captives, but also exchanged nearly 3,000 stone of grain. Zhao Xingde planned to build forts in the backwaters of the Yalu River in the future, both to guard the timber yards and as shelters for lumberjacks. Together with Li Sihai, he had already written to the Protectorate of the State and requested that naval gunboats be built in Liaodong to patrol the river to protect these storage yards along the coast.

Although there were some small disputes in the account-sharing meeting of the generals of Hanzhai, it was still a happy situation in the end. In the evening, Wang Hengzhi, who got Kaizhou as a defense area, held a banquet to entertain the owners of Hanzhai who were anxious to go to various states and counties to grab land.

"General Zhao is very good at fighting, sharing benefits and fairness, I, Dong Renwang, will follow you to fight the world in the future!" A drunken man will say with a big tongue.

Zhao Xingde raised his glass and said with a smile: "Zhao also wants Brother Dong to take care of him." Dong Renwang was already drunk half to death, dragging his body down. Another Han general next to him said: "General Zhao is such a capable person, but he is a corporal. Before he finished speaking, someone interjected: "The real person doesn't show his face, but he is the dragon and phoenix among the people!" Several village owners complimented them with a burst of gossiping, Zhao Xingde only smiled and talked to them, and secretly reminded himself in his heart, don't get carried away, you must know that most of these words can't be counted. Even if you are lifted to the sky, the more people who listen to it believe it and get carried away, I am afraid that the heavier it will fall in the future.

From a distance from him, Wang Hengzhi watched with a complicated expression as many Han army generals gathered around Zhao De. Liu Baohu, the owner of Jiming Village, sat next to Wang Hengzhi and sighed: "The prime minister's meaning is just that the meat can be satisfied." I see General Zhao holding a knife in his hand, and it is enough to slaughter the world. Wang Hengzhi regretted: "It's a pity that it's not from my Han army." ”
