Youzhou City, now restored to the name of the Han and Tang dynasties, Zhuo County, in terms of level, is higher than ordinary states and counties, almost second only to the Daimyofu, but in the future, with the improvement of the status of Zhuo County, it is not impossible to remove the Daimyofu.

Originally, here in the era of the Liao Kingdom, it is also the existence of Nanjing, in the current Northern Song Dynasty, because it is at the forefront of the front, so it has been greatly developed, the city wall or something, to not do much, there are 8 fortresses around, enough to guard this place well, and remove the original city wall, the area of Zhuo County, suddenly expanded, the geographical location and the historical background of the past, so that the extraordinary prosperity here.

However, since more than half a month ago, the security here has begun to be tightened, first of all, a large number of troops have arrived, and then some high-ranking officials, and the curfew has also started half a month ago, making Zhuo County, which has just been pacified, a little stricter.

From the beginning of the attack of the Dinghai Navy, until the capture of Zhongjing, a total of 20 days were spent, in order to avoid unnecessary trouble, the Dinghai Navy chose to start from the south first, blockading the entire south.

With the equipment of the navy, if you really want to blockade it, you really can't get through anything.

Night vision telescopes, the combination of the two, so that there are no dead ends day and night, if it is long-term, a few months on the year, there will definitely be omissions, but just started 20 days, it is really impassable.

In the middle, whether it is the Privy Council or the Imperial City Division, they have sent a lot of secret agents, and these people have all crashed into this net.

At this level of Zhao Xin, many directional orders have long been issued by him in person, and the blockade of the south is an order, of course, the people who execute it below are strictly enforced, but when they are executed, they are distinguished.

If the Liao people are talking, they will be killed if they can be killed, if they are Song people, or if they are not sure, most of them are prisoners.

This flexible strategy is not pedantic, if it is under the premise of not being able to leave people, or under the premise that it is possible to break through, killing is the only option, in front of the two major forces, it is really not a big problem to kill a few people.

The southern cluster, which began to block this line of defense, was carried out strictly, for 20 days, not a single person came, let alone passed on the news.

As a result, the Northern Song Dynasty did not know what happened to the Liao State for 20 days, let alone know that the Ding Navy was attacking the Liao State and almost destroyed the Liao State.

However, because of this, it caused tension in the entire Northern Song Dynasty center.

The reason is very simple, even when he attacked Youyun, there was no broken tip, and it was interrupted in this 20-day period.

In the Northern Song Dynasty four years before Qingli, there was no problem with this, because the Northern Song Dynasty was just a conventional espionage system, not only did the spies have few personnel, but they were not very closely connected.

Many spies are dead, and death means that they will only use them at critical moments, and most of them will not be used under the premise of 20 days, not to mention that there is no news for 20 days, even if it is half a year and a year, there is no news, it is a normal situation.

In some extreme cases, the Liao State or the Western Xia have already fought, and even the war is over, and there is no news yet, which is considered normal.

In this way, under the traditional spy situation, both the Liao State and the Western Xia have been fighting and killed in the northwest, and the two sides have used hundreds of thousands of troops to fight bloodily near the desert, and they have fought for many rounds, and the Northern Song Dynasty still does not know that when the two enemies start to fight, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty moves slightly, they can get huge benefits, but they just missed it.

Zhao Xin's biggest change to the Northern Song Dynasty was not the longbow, the longbow improved the Northern Song Dynasty as a whole, completely changed the military structure of the Northern Song Dynasty, and made the Northern Song Dynasty's attack more powerful, but this strength had to be slowly expressed.

The immediate change was in the northwest, involved in the battle of Liaoxia, after a simple control, moving, and using strength, it actually got very good results, and the Liao State killed the Western Xia in one go.

This is Han Qi's foothold battle, and since then it has started the pace of continuous climbing, which is also the foundation of the Northern Song Dynasty, the Western Xia perished, it seems that the Liao State is greatly strengthened, but the benefits to the Northern Song Dynasty are greater.

The core of the Liao State is in the north, near Hebei, from Hebei to the south, compared to from the northwest, I don't know how much better, even plundering and fighting grass valleys, Hebei is much stronger than the northwest, unless it is a partial division, otherwise, there will be no attack here.

This means that the biggest crisis in the Northern Song Dynasty has been solved, and without the continuous blood loss in the northwest, even if there is no fixed navy and the economy is upgraded, the Northern Song Dynasty can be relieved.

This is definitely the finishing touch, and later, because Liao Xingzong coveted those silks, he exchanged a large number of livestock obtained from Western Xia to the Northern Song Dynasty, which may not be anything in Liao, not a very large wealth, but was flexibly applied by Han Qi.

The same amount of money, used in different places, the effect is also different, Han Qi is the top controller, and with the help of the Ding Navy, he used it flexibly, not only to maximize the benefits, but also as a very important start-up capital, to revitalize the declining Hetao Plain, which became the foundation of a large number of growth in the Northern Song Dynasty.

Such a change is inseparable from the improvement of the intelligence agency, this improvement is because of Zhao Xin's point, but after using it, it easily shows great results, which the Northern Song Dynasty recognizes.

In this era, the Northern Song Dynasty was the most inclusive era, absorbing all the things that could be improved, for example, from the Western Xia Divine Arm Crossbow, which has proven to be useful, and on the premise of having spare power, of course, it is carried forward.

Based on the military intelligence of the Privy Council and part of the strength of the Imperial City Division, according to Zhao Xin's points, the intelligence analysis organization of the Northern Song Dynasty was reconstructed, and the original high-level and top-secret intelligence was transformed, and some key things of the Liao State that would not be spying were just ordinary people, ordinary business, and went deep into all parts of the entire Liao State, and summarized from the most basic things, analyzed the appropriate intelligence, and deduced the situation of the Liao State.

This seems very cumbersome, but it is quite useful, the larger the level of things, the more stable, the more difficult it is to cover up.

Because there are a lot of things to be explored, including the production and life of the Liao State, most of the fields of officialdom and civil affairs, in various different departments, there are at least more than 140 lines, among these lines, most of them are daily lines, in order to ensure safety, huge information will be transmitted to the south, near the Northern Song Dynasty, where to carry out simple classification, and then after reducing the total amount, it will be transmitted to the Northern Song Dynasty.

Even after this information has been screened and frugal, the information transmitted every month is very large, and it is necessary to transmit the news through various channels and methods every day, and there is an endless stream.

In this context, if the intelligence is cut off for a day or two, something big will happen, not to mention, as it is now, for more than ten or twenty days at once, no information will come back.

There are many possibilities that the intelligence cannot be transmitted back, but no matter which point goes wrong, one thing is worth affirming, that is, something big happened in Liao, a big event that is enough to turn the world upside down.

The Northern Song Dynasty is now a huge increase in strength compared to before, and if you are not afraid of the Liao State, if you are afraid, you will not recover the clouds, but under such a premise, if something happens to the Liao Kingdom, will it affect the Northern Song Dynasty.

Liao, Song and Xia, among the three kingdoms, Western Xia was the weakest, but as far as the Northern Song Dynasty was concerned, it was not the strongest Liao State that hurt him the most, but Western Xia.

A strong country must always look like a strong country, and to a certain extent, there is always some bottom line, or fear.

Between the Liao State and the Northern Song Dynasty, it was daily to fight the grass valley, but once the Northern Song Dynasty protested, it would be slightly restrained, after all, the Liao State was not barefoot, it was shoeed, and if it encountered the indiscriminate retaliation of the Northern Song Dynasty, it would be very troublesome for the Liao State.

Western Xia is different, he is just a barefoot, often has no money, no food, so he goes to the Northern Song Dynasty to loot, even if the Northern Song Dynasty protests, he listens to it and ignores it completely.

Now, the major event in Liao may be the discovery of this intelligence agency in the Northern Song Dynasty, which is possible, but it is really unlikely.

The Northern Song Dynasty laid out more than 100 lines in the Liao Kingdom, and there were more than 50 locations that were simply screened, and the routes passed on were not the same, even if they knew the exact location, it was not an easy thing to have a nest, not to mention the completely unconscious Liao State, if the Liao State could know, it would not have suffered such a big loss before.

Then, there is no information to pass on, it is very likely that there is turmoil in the Liao State, and it is a good thing to weaken the Liao State, and the Liao State is slowly declining after losing Youyun, if there is any more turmoil, it is a good thing for the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the short term, it is pressure.

The Liao State is stable, so don't be afraid, the Liao State should also worry about the retaliation of the Northern Song Dynasty, if it is in turmoil, those routs, and those forces that have failed, when they are fleeing frantically and desperately, what should they do.

It is almost certain that he will go to the Northern Song Dynasty to plunder, and when the time comes, even if he can fight back, he will still have to suffer the loss in front of him.

In a sense, this has to be guarded against, and the absence of news is the biggest uncertainty, so that all the lines cannot send back the news, and the entire border is tense.

Not only did all the troops located in Youyun stand by in place, but the forbidden army in Bianliang also supported almost 150,000 to Hebei, replacing the forbidden army in Hebei and supporting Youzhou.

From the time of the attack on Youyun, the Youyun army, which had gradually decreased, had increased wildly in such a short period of ten days, and it looked like a big war was coming.

In addition to the army, he also sent a big man with enough status to come, this big man is none other than Han Qi, he even left the very good project that has been going on all the time, and went to Youyun, here he took it down, he is most familiar with this place, once there is something, he also needs to personally supervise.

The entire Northern Song Dynasty was nervous because of this incident, and it was very nervous, and the border urgently mobilized at least 100,000 forbidden troops.

However, according to the understanding of the Liao State, no matter how deep it goes, it is already the core area of the Liao State, and not only will it encounter fierce counterattacks, but in a sense, it is a land that is not worthy of the Northern Song Dynasty in the past.

Youyun, their key point is the geographical location, if it is not its own value, if it is value, the south is just better than there, not only can grow a lot of food, but also a variety of cash crops can also increase income

The land on this side of Hebei, compared to the south, is very barren, and even more north, in such a nomadic people as Liao, in such a long period of operation, even if it is won in the end, the income is not much.

Youyun has a foundation, and there is also Hanmin's non-stop cultivation, in this way, the dredging of the Haihe River and many nearby water systems, and the construction of large-scale water conservancy facilities, but it has made Youyun reach the same level as Hebei before, and it will take decades of hard work to reach the current level of Hebei, not to mention the two lakes and those places in the south of the Yangtze River.

Even Youyun is like this, not to mention the Guanwai further north, in the eyes of Han Qi and other important ministers in the DPRK, the affairs of the Liao State cannot be closed for a long time, and there is really chaos, and there will be no comprehensive blockade, at most a month or two, you can know, when the time comes, it depends on the situation, and then it will be determined.

The tense atmosphere has lasted for more than half a month, and the forbidden army is also fortifying in Youyun step by step, and the construction of the same fortress has been mentioned again, itself in Youyun, more than 200 fortresses have been arranged, and all the strategic places in Youyun have been guarded very well, but now, for some places that can only pass one or two thousand people, they are also guarded, and those scattered forces are guarded.

There has been no intelligence for more than 20 days, and the turmoil in Liao is very big, of course, it should not be a threat to the Northern Song Dynasty, these spy personnel will make a judgment, if it is really unfavorable to the Northern Song Dynasty, the personnel of the Imperial City Division who have been strictly trained will send intelligence at all costs.

In case the losing side flows to the Northern Song Dynasty, for the newly developed Youyun, any loss will make it difficult for Youyun to accept, so it is better to take advantage of this time to protect it.

The construction of a large number of fortresses has also made the protection of Youyun greater, and it is not impossible to do a good job of protection and then try to take a look.

Just when Han Qi, including Han Qi, was a little impatient, on this day, a change suddenly appeared, according to the report of the outpost through the relay, in the Liao-Song border, which has been more than 20 days, there are no people, a large number of knights have appeared, these knights are from different directions, different paths, but their targets are Youzhou, generally at most five or six horses, but there is no cover at all.
