Shanhaiguan is preparing for war, because the fortress is not able to accommodate more personnel, so it will only increase the personnel slightly, and it will not be considered to be sent until the personnel are lost, but there are a lot of various materials.

First of all, of course, it was barbed wire, the fleet that was transported at that time only carried personnel, equipment, and all kinds of construction materials, etc., and the barbed wire did not carry much, and after the establishment of the fortress, the barbed wire had no point in building, and if there was no way to replenish it, it would soon be destroyed.

Now, taking the Zhejin Mansion, it is equivalent to the fortress has obtained huge support, when the time comes, as long as there is a team of thousands of people, or 10,000 people, stationed next to it, it can be replenished at any time, and strengthen the entire protection, in this case, the barbed wire has become a must, once it is arranged, it has a great stopping effect on the cavalry of the Liao State.

The easiest thing for the longbow to play is when it is in a dense camp, which is where the barbed wire comes into play.

In any case, the capture of Zhejin Mansion is quite useful for the defense of Shanhaiguan here, and all the people are very popular, ready to show their power in the next confrontation with the Liao State, and Liao Xingzong, who is far away in the northeast, is extremely depressed at this time.

The Jurchens are not worried, but the Jurchen tribes who have hid in the mountains are not so easy to deal with.

These have always been stationed in this big mountain, and they are very familiar with the surrounding situation, and if there are fewer people going, they can't find it at all, and if there are more people going, a sense of direction, a sneak attack, will give people a headache.

Of course, it was not without gains, more than 30 Jurchen tribes were swept away, and a lot of them were killed, but they didn't ask anything, three or four thousand well-equipped cavalry, whether it was a tribe or several tribes together, these had no direction at all.

If you are tired of asking, you will kill, kill a lot of people, pay off a lot, and even because the pursuit is too much, in the depths of the mountains, you have been attacked, and you have lost a lot, in short, Liao Guo and Jurchen have fought a real fire, for Liao Xingzong, it is also a good choice to completely kill this henchman.

At this stall, the urgent report transferred from Tokyo was directly sent to Liao Xingzong.

"Northern Song Dynasty!" Liao Xingzong's face was iron-blue, and after reading it, he directly threw the report on the table, he never thought that the Northern Song Dynasty would stab him in the back like this when the Liao State was continuously weakened and was at the critical moment of exterminating the Jurchens.

In Liao Xingzong's view, what is the Northern Song Dynasty, a soft-footed sheep, once the Liao State is vacated, it will definitely go to loot, but now, the sheep not only did not stay where docilely, but took a bite.

Besieging Zhejin Mansion, this point has to be reacted, although it is said that Zhejin Mansion is still separated from Sanguan by a Zhuozhou, but why will the army appear in Zhejin Mansion, if Zhejin Mansion has the ability to resist, will it report to him?

"Let's take a look and see what to do!"

At the moment when Liao Xingzong was angry, no one dared to speak until Liao Xingzong handed the report in front of them.

The first thought of all those who took the report was, impossible.

In the eyes of the Liao people, especially in the eyes of the Liao nobles, what is the concept, the weak can no longer be weak, before, as long as the Northern Song Dynasty and the Western Xia had a little fight, the Liao State would send people to suppress, on the one hand, not let the Northern Song Dynasty go all out to deal with the Western Xia, to ensure the consumption of the Northern Song Dynasty, on the other hand, is to take advantage.

The most recent one was only two years ago, but after two years of not seeing each other, has the Northern Song Dynasty changed?

While filled with righteous indignation, he also took into account the importance of Oritsu Province.

If before, when the Liao State just got the Zhejin Mansion, the Zhejin Mansion was really nothing, it was a place where the Han people gathered, just one more enclave, and those farmlands were eager to become grasslands.

However, in a hundred years, the Liao State gradually discovered the benefits of Youyun, for the Northern Song Dynasty, it occupied an absolute geographical advantage, with the help of Youyun, looking down on the Northern Song Dynasty from a high place, it could attack at any time, and there were many directions that could be attacked.

Another benefit, is the material and money grain, that is, the development and management of Youyun, they only found that the value created by farming, much higher than nomadism, in recent decades, Youyun's status has gradually risen, and even Zhijin Mansion as Nanjing, can be said to be very important.

Such a place cannot be let go, and it is impossible to let go.

According to the news from Tokyo, the siege time was dozens of days ago, but the civil and military officials in the entire account did not believe that the huge Nanjing Zhejin Mansion was captured, and there were only 100,000 Song troops, although it was said that the Zhejin Mansion was transferred badly, and there were still 10,000 or 20,000 people, as long as they held it firmly and waited for their arrival, there was no problem.

Support is certain, but how to support and how many people to send to support is a problem, and whether or not to continue the current war is also a key issue.

There are endless arguments, there are those who are willing to go, and there are those who are not willing to go, after all, the long-distance attack is very tiring and takes time, maybe, by the time they arrive, the Northern Song Dynasty will have already withdrawn its troops, but it is not as good as here, the Jurchens have been forced into the mountains, there may be some obstacles, but as long as they respond flexibly, they can still be taken down.

When everyone was arguing, the king of the Northern Courtyard had not spoken, and suddenly said: "The previous cavalry, will it be from the Northern Song Dynasty!" ”

Cavalry? Everyone was stunned for a moment, and then they thought directly of the culprit of their expedition, the cavalry that suddenly appeared on the Liaodong Peninsula.

That cavalryman, until now, has no clue, and he can still catch up with the trail before, but when he arrives on the side of Baishan, he will be gone.

Liao Xingzong believed that these cavalry had arrived home and had fled among the tribes and dispersed.

However, after conquering so many tribes, there was no clue at all, most of the Jurchens were confused, even those who were radical, at the beginning, they were not ready for a full-scale attack, but were quickly broken by the Liao army.

All kinds of doubts have actually lingered in the hearts of people with hearts, but they have never been said, and now what the king of the North Courtyard said immediately resonated with many people.

"But, how can the Northern Song Dynasty come over!" A younger member of the royal family asked with some uncertainty.

"How do you get in, sneak in, this can also explain why they are making trouble, not in the north, but on the Liaodong Peninsula, from the place where the Jurchens live, to Liaodong, the distance is not close?"

This! What the king of the Northern Courtyard said was very reasonable, and the attack of the Northern Song Dynasty was too coincidental, which couldn't help but make people suspicious.

Before Liao Xingzong has had the intention of retreating, Zhejin Mansion as the Liao State Nanjing, it must be saved, after experiencing the grassland, a series of losses, the Liao State has been quite weak, this time on behalf of the army, not only did not have any gains, but a lot of losses, in this case, it is meaningless to stay here in the Jurchen tribe.

Tribes, that is, poor places, maybe some gold, silver and medicinal herbs and the like, but these are nothing at all for the Liao State, and the income is too small.

But the Northern Song Dynasty was different, when there was no provocation, the Liao State wanted to go to the Northern Song Dynasty to loot, and now the opportunity came to the door, and the opportunity to invade the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty was more beneficial in that way.

As for the fact that the cavalry may be of the Northern Song Dynasty, Liao Xingzong thinks it is unlikely, did the Northern Song Dynasty have such elite cavalry? Also, how did they come to the Liaodong Peninsula?

Liaoguo, who didn't even understand machinery and steel, would definitely not know that in this world, there are things like sea ships that go against the sky, and backward thinking makes him wrong in the initial judgment process, and it is quite outrageously wrong.

The entire Liao army is basically cavalry, and it is still in a state of movement, they press the Jurchens to fight, so as long as they want, the speed of breaking away from the battle is very fast, and it only took two days for the army to disengage from the Jurchens, and then integrate and leave.

This makes the Jurchens a little confused, this battle is headless and brainless, and the end is also headless and brainless, but unfortunately the Liao State is strong, they can be unscrupulous, they can only suppress this hatred, and even dare not easily touch the Liao State, the province attracts revenge, this is the sorrow of the weak.

The army is opened, hundreds of thousands of troops, even if they are all cavalry, it will take a long time, about 150 miles a day, more than 5 times that of the infantry, this is an inner line march, if it is outside, this speed will be reduced a little.

From the vicinity of Baishan to Tokyo, according to the speed of 150 miles, it will take about 10 days, and from Tokyo to Zhijin Prefecture, it is almost another seven or eight days, which is already the fastest speed.

What they don't know is that Zhejin Mansion has fallen, but unfortunately those who know about this matter are basically wrapped in Zhejin Mansion, and the guards ran away, but they are still in the mountains, and they secretly escaped, and it will take a month before they can reach the territory of Liao.

When Liao Xingzong got the news and rushed to Zhejin Mansion, another fast horse, thousands of miles away, was galloping on the official road.

800 li urgently, he carried the battle report of the Song army's victory.

In itself, the first time the battle was conquered, this battle report should have been sent out, but for the battlefield, sometimes, conquering does not mean that it can be defended, what if it is counterattacked.

Generally, if you take the city, it will be stable for ten days and half a month, and when you see that there is no problem, the follow-up personnel will come up and report the news.

On the third day of Di Qing's capture of Zhejin Mansion, Han Qi brought 5,000 elite horsemen over and took over everything in Zhejin Mansion.

Han Qi has experience in the ruling side, and has also been in the Daimyo's Mansion, let alone the Northwest, for a city like Zhejin Mansion, which has strong defenses and a large population, or a newly attached land, military management is the best management method.

After Han Qi accepted the government affairs, Di Qing mainly focused on sweeping away the remnants of the Liao State, the Liao State was in Zhejin Mansion, and there were not many troops left, but the basic political structure was still there, and it would take time to take it comprehensively and make it a safe rear.

It is precisely because of the determination that the Zhejin Mansion can be accepted in an orderly manner, and there are two or three hundred thousand troops of the entire Northern Expedition, which can basically ensure that the Zhejin Mansion will not be lost, and in this case, it is the safest to transmit the news of the capture of the Zhejin Mansion and the entire Youyun 12 counties to Bianliang.

In the era of cold weapons, a war is quite long, but the war of Ding Navy and explosives is destined to be very fast, in fact, from Di Qing's departure from Sanguan to occupy Zhejin Mansion, it is not more than 20 days, even if it is delayed for more than ten days, here in Bianliang, I thought it was in the stalemate stage, and I didn't ask, but I didn't know that the war was over.

Shanhaiguan, the passage in the mountains, is quite steep, and the surrounding mountains are also endless, because with the support of the back, they began to gradually go deeper.

It turned out that for them, holding and buying time was the key, they killed and wounded the enemy as much as possible, and it didn't matter if they let go of a part, after all, there were 100,000 people besieging the city behind.

But now, although it is still a war, the meaning is different, try not to let it go, because after occupying the Oritsu Prefecture, it is natural to sweep the surrounding area, and once it is released, even if the number of people is small, it will have a huge impact.

Before, there was a shortage of manpower, although there were some reserves, but they had to guard against fierce battles, but now, the back has become a support, when the war is not coming, maybe there is not much support, but it is supplemented with 2,000 soldiers, once the war comes, at least 10,000, at most 30,000 troops, can be stationed at any time.

Not to mention the follow-up support, let's just say that now, the injection of 2,000 soldiers has given them more spare power, not only to better arrange the entire defense line, but also to move the cordon forward.

Shanhaiguan, not only Shanhaiguan itself, but also the surrounding mountains, under the premise of safety, can move the cordon forward by almost 35 kilometers, plus telescopes and mountains, at least about 70 kilometers can be detected in advance.

It doesn't sound like much, but in fact, for most rapid marches, this is a day's distance, which is quite useful for early warning, and the time of day can be arranged and even prepared accordingly.

Now that it has been prepared, it is done, a series of contact conditions have been completed, as long as it is discovered, some simple information will be transmitted to the fortress through some relay flags, and then ready for battle.

Reconnaissance is destined to be lonely and lonely, there is no gain for 7 days, but for scouts, the necessary patience is there, but today, just after noon, in the distance, a burst of smoke and dust floated up, it is obvious that the army is marching, and after waiting for a while, in the telescope, you can clearly see that dozens of miles away, an army of more than 10,000 people, is marching rapidly, and the Liao army is finally coming.
