In the Chongzheng Palace, the meeting continued.

"The key to the current battle situation in Hebei is to relieve Zhong Fu from the siege!" Zhao Ji's brows gradually twisted, "There are 40,000 soldiers in Zhong Fu's department, and there are no less than 50,000 people. As long as it can be rescued from the siege of the Liao, the situation on the East Hebei Road can be reversed immediately. And to rescue Zhong Fu, it is necessary to use cavalry, and now how many cavalry are available in the hands of the imperial court? ”

Zhao Ji not only has the problem of hereditary timidity, but also the problem of hereditary blind command, which is basically a terminal illness and cannot be treated!

Zhang Shuye, the military machine, could only stubbornly play: "Your Majesty, there are a total of five cavalry available to the imperial court, one is the Jiezhou cavalry under the command of Wu Haogu, but they have just fought a bloody battle with the Khitan Gongfen Army, and they have beheaded more than 5,000 armor heads and captured nearly 1,000 prisoners. Although it was a great victory, it killed 1,000 enemies and lost 800 self-losses, so you have to rest for some time before you can go to the battlefield again......"

He and Wu Haogu are not in the same faction, but he also knows how important the 6,000 Jiezhou Iron Cavalry is to the war in Hebei.

As long as these 6,000 Jiezhou Iron Cavalry are still in the hands of Wu Haogu, the Hejian camp will be able to stand. The camp between the rivers does not fall, and Yelu Yanxi is spreading wilderness on Dingzhou Road, Zhending Road, and Gaoyangguan Road, and it is impossible to cross the Yellow River.

Because Wu Haogu can buy Yandi at any time! If Yelu Yanxi goes too deep, he won't even be able to go back to the grassland at that time.

But if the Jiezhou Iron Cavalry is gone to Zhao Ji, then it will be troublesome, maybe Yelu Yanxi will really come to Kaifeng Mansion City!

"The second elite cavalry is the Lingzhou Iron Cavalry under Gao Yu, and the combat power is not under the Jiezhou Iron Cavalry. The minister suggested that Lingzhou Tieqi and Gao Yu be transferred to Hebei together. ”

Zhao Ji nodded, "It's just that it's hard to quench your thirst in the far water, are there any other cavalry that can be adjusted?" ”

Uncle Zhang said: "In addition to the Jiezhou and Lingzhou Iron Cavalry, Shuofang Road, Hexi Road and Hedong Road also have an iron cavalry, among which the Hedong Iron Cavalry is a new army adapted from the Zhejia Army on Fulin Road, and its combat power is comparable to that of Jiezhou Iron Cavalry." ”

The new army on Hedong Road, like Hebei Road, is also "one army, two systems", and the majority is the new army adapted from the Hedong Road Forbidden Army, which has no combat effectiveness at all. However, the Zhejia army on Fulin Road was an exception, although the Zhejia army belonged to Hedong, but it had always participated in the war against the Western Xia and was part of the Western Army.

A soldier who has fought for a long time is a soldier with a master, and of course his combat effectiveness is guaranteed.

And Tao Jiefu, who presided over the reorganization of the Hedong New Army, is Zhang Ji's right-hand man, and he is very familiar with the generals of the Western Army, and the relationship with the family is also very good. Therefore, when sorting out the Hedong Army, the Zhijia Army of Fulin Road was given the treatment of Tianfu soldiers to the west of the army. The Zhejia family was allowed to distribute the official land of the three prefectures of Fu, Lin, and Feng to the soldiers under their command and organize a general infantry army. The Zhe family was also allowed to settle 1,000 knights on land (mainly the relatives of the Zhe family and the Yang family). Then with the knights of the Zhejia family as the core, plus 2,000 cavalry recruited and 2,000 cavalry auxiliaries (excluding the servant soldiers of the two knights of Zheyang), a cavalry general of 3,000 people was formed. You Zhe Keqiu served as the main general and was the main force in the Hedong Army.

Zhao Ji asked again: "What is the current situation of Hedong Road?" Is there any change in the Liao soldiers in front of you? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty," Uncle Zhang said at night, "Hedong Road is calm as usual. ”

Zhao Ji said: "Then mobilize one cavalry and two infantry generals of the Hedong Army, led by Zhi Keshi to aid Zhendingfu Road, and then order Wang Yang to concurrently serve as the pacification envoy of Dingzhou Road, and Zhi Keshi will serve as the commander of Dingzhou Road and Zhendingfu Road, and will try to rescue Zhong Fu's department together with Han Xiaoxuan, the ambassador of Zhending Road regimental training!"

In addition, Wu Haogu and Ye Zuqia should also transfer troops from the East Road to the west, and cooperate with the elite soldiers of Zhendingfu Road to relieve Zhong Fu from the siege. ”

Zhang Shuye and Wang Yu glanced at each other, and they both knew that Hebei would soon have another defeat report! But what can be done? The officials of the Great Song Dynasty all love to command blindly, and the only exception is about Emperor Zhezong.

……

When Zhao Ji's book production to Wu Haogu was still halfway through, Wu Haogu, who was still the envoy of Hebei Xuanfu for the time being, was already in contact with the big figures in the Liao State. However, it is not about "selling the country", but about "buying land".

Of course, the purpose of "buying land" is to "engage in development", and he plans to buy all the prefectures and Kyushu of Yandi, and then develop them into a "military autonomous region". Basically, it is the same way as the demolition and relocation of later generations, and there is also a 50,000 forced demolition army led by Zhao Zhongge!

So I'm not afraid that I can't tear down the Nanjing Road of Liao!

On behalf of Yan Di Haoqiang, Ma Renwang's nephew Ma Zhi and Zhang Lin's nephew Zhang Jue, the former is now in Hue Army, and the latter was rushed to Jiehe Shang City from Dingzhou on the secret order of Yelu Yanxi - Yelu Yanxi didn't know that Wu Haogu was the number one main battle faction in the Great Song Dynasty, so he still wanted to negotiate with Zhao Ji through his way.

Therefore, he sent Zhang Jue, the Nanjing Provincial Police Patrol Envoy who followed him, to act as a secret envoy and go to Jiehe Shang City to see Wu Haogu. And Zhang Jue used his authority to pull Ma Zhi, who led troops in Zhongjing Road, to Jiehe Commercial City to negotiate with Wu Haogu on the issue of "demolition compensation".

"Pingzhou is the hometown of the Zhang family, and the post of Pingzhou observer is naturally replaced by the Zhang family, Yingzhou can be given to the Ma family, Luanzhou and the entire west of the Luanhe River to Brother Zhong."

There are two concepts of Pingzhou in Liao, one is Pingzhou, Jiedu Prefecture, in addition to this territory, there are two prefectures of Luanzhou and Yingzhou. The other concept is the area directly under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou. Now what Wu Haogu wants to give to the Zhang family's uncle and nephew is, of course, the territory directly under the jurisdiction of Pingzhou, and the one that is assigned to the Ma family is the Yingzhou, which controls the dangerous Yuguan (Shanhaiguan). The two families owned almost half of the land in Pingzhou, which was the state of Jiedu.

The other half, which should include the west of the Luan River where the Kailuan Coal Mine is located, will be handed over to Zhao Zhongge.

At this time, the Luanhe River still has a good navigable capacity, and it is an inland river that directly leads to the sea. In other words, if the coal mine in Kailuan can be developed, it will be able to enter the Bohai Sea shipping system through the Luan River.

In addition, Tangshan in later generations is a steel city, not only coal in the territory, but also a lot of iron ore, if it can be developed, Xing may become an iron city comparable to Xuzhou.

Therefore, the territory of Luanzhou must be in the hands of the most confidant subordinates!

"Da Lang," Ma Zhi is very familiar with Wu Haogu, so he doesn't call him Xuan Shuai, but calls him "Da Lang", "Isn't it too small to give the Zhang family a Pingzhou?" The Zhang family is very favored by the Son of Heaven in Liao, although it is not one of the four Yan families, but its actual status is no less than that of Zhao, Liu, and Ma. At least you have to give Ping and Ying two states, right? ”

The Han family in the Yan Si family has a transcendent status, and there are a bunch of people in the family who are given the surname "Yelu", and there is also a Wenzhong palace that is one of the palace guards of the Khitan. Basically, it is slightly worse than the Yelu royal family and the Xiao family, and it is very difficult to win over their family. However, the three families of "Zhao, Liu, and Ma" cannot follow the Khitan people all the way to the black, but it is just a matter of how much compensation.

And the Pingzhou Zhang family, as the rising star of the Yanyun family, is very strong in Pingzhou, and has enough strength to win Pingzhou and Yingzhou.

However, there are only nine states that Wu Haogu can use to win over the Yandi families, the Zhang family took two, Zhao Zhongge took one, and the Murong family and the Ximen family, who had followed Wu Haogu for many years, had to give one each, so they went to five states...... Demolition compensation is a bit much!

"Then where do you want the Ma family?" Wu Haogu frowned and asked.

"We don't want any of the states in the Kyushu region."

"Don't want turf?" Wu Hao Guxin said: Don't want land compensation, do you want cash compensation?

"Of course you want the territory," Ma Zhi said with a smile, "but the land is too crowded!" There are only nine states and one province in total. Among them, the Xijin Mansion must be the Wu family, the Ximen family and the Murong family must each take one state, and the Zhao family, the Zhang family, and the Liu family must have at least two states...... How much more can my Ma family get? ”

Don't fetch back? That's off-site compensation, so you can get more land.

"Do you want Xianzhou or the territory of Zhongjing Road?" Wu Haogu asked.

The Ma family's old nest medical service Lushan is located in Hyunju, the westernmost part of Tokyo Road, but the Ma family also has a great influence in Jinzhou and Yizhou in the east of Zhongjing Road.

"Definitely." Ma Zhi shook his head and said with a smile, "Although Xianzhou, Jinzhou, and Yizhou are good, they are not easy family businesses to keep. My family has been a scholar for generations, and I am not good at fighting and killing. ”

Xian, Jin, and Yi are just stuck in the West Liaoning Corridor, once the Liao Kingdom is in turmoil, the West Liaoning Corridor must be the target to be fought for in all aspects, and the Ma family's little capital can't be held at all.

"And where do you want it?"

"How about Chenzhou and Suzhou?" Ma Zhi asked.

Chenzhou is the Yingkou area of the later generations, and Suzhou refers to the Dalian area of the later generations. Both of these are the main seaports of Liaodong Province at present, and the location is also relatively remote, which is easy to gain a foothold and develop in troubled times.

"Great place!" Wu Haogu laughed. In fact, Ma Zhi didn't propose it, Wu Haogu also wanted to send people to rob Chenzhou and Suzhou!

"Then how do your Ma family plan to take Chenzhou and Suzhou?" Wu Haogu asked.

"Of course, it was taken from the hands of the Great Song!" Ma Zhi smiled, "By the way, there is still a big deal to do." ”

"Big deal? What kind of big deal? ”

Ma Zhi said: "Food! Food of Tokyo Province! ”

"How much?"

Ma Zhi stretched out three fingers, "Three million stones!" ”

"What's the price?"

"Three million...... I want gold, silver and copper coins, not silk silk! ”

Wu Haogu was silent for a while, "It's a little expensive, but I have been friends with Second Brother Ma for many years, and this price can be offered." Just how to deliver? Now neither Chenzhou Port nor Suzhou Port allows our ships to enter. ”

Ma Zhi smiled: "They don't allow you to go?" When did your battleship become so reasonable? The grain will be transported to Chenzhou and Suzhou, a total of 3.5 million stones, and you will be charged 3 million stones. As for how to get it, you can figure it out yourself. After taking it, don't be busy retreating, a certain army will come to capture the city. ”

Wu Haogu thought for a moment, "Okay, that's it!" ”8)
