sent Zhao Zhen away, and also sent away a large number of high-ranking officials of the imperial court. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

Until this moment, Wang Ningan can finally enjoy the taste of self-esteem.

The land of seven states, millions of living beings, life and death are all in his thoughts, this feeling is great, very cool, and of course, the pressure is also very high.

Wang Ningan just took a short rest, sorted out his thoughts, and called Ouyang Xiu and Zhao Zongjing over, as well as several generals, all of whom also came.

"There's a lot of things going on at the moment, it's very messy, but it boils down to two things, one is to solve the problem of being beaten. Yelu Hongji was defeated and withdrew from the Great Wall, but he was not willing to be defeated, in the past few months, he cleaned up his old troops, restored his strength, and changed his strategy, sending small groups of cavalry, frequently entering the army, plundering and killing, very troublesome. ”

Speaking of this, Murong Qingchen took it, "My lord, as I can see, Yelu Hongji at this time is more terrible than before, the loss of Youzhou, although it has cut off an arm of the Liao State, but the shackles on this arm have also been broken, from now on, it is very difficult to fight with the main force of Yelu Hongji, on the contrary, it will continue to be harassed, just like the original Qin, Han, Sui and Tang Dynasties, we must adjust our strategy and can no longer deal with it according to the old way." ”

Murong Qingchen, in addition to being a hanger with Wang Ning'an, has a ruffian virtue on his face. In the face of others, he is not smiling, he does not drink much, and he is not lustful, the whole piece of iron!

But this guy is thoughtful, good at thinking, and explains the situation very thoroughly.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are the pain of the Han family, which Han er can not want to recover Yanyun?

From another point of view, with the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Khitans had to stop their herding footsteps and become half-agricultural and half-herding.

On the grassland, if you can beat it, you can fight, if you can't beat it, you can run, anyway, it's all over the world, no matter how many people and horses the Central Plains Dynasty sends, you can't help them.

That's where nomads come in!

After there were more Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures, the Khitan could not be so chic and wishful, advancing and retreating freely, and they also became necessary to stick to the city like the Han people.

Zhao Er's two northern expeditions, the Liao State had to concentrate the army and fight hard in Youzhou and the Great Song Dynasty.

Of course, Zhao Er's luck was bad and he ended in a fiasco.

When he arrived at his grandson, assisted by Wang Ning'an, Zhao Zhen was lucky enough to get back Youzhou, which was of course an unprecedented victory for the Great Song Dynasty, and it was worth boasting about.

But Murong Qingchen is right, it must be seen that after losing the fetters of Youzhou, the Khitans quickly restored their ancestral state, they were broken into pieces, and they came out in multiple ways, constantly attacking and harassing along the Great Wall, unscrupulous, and they could come as they wanted.

On the other hand, the Great Song Dynasty must guard the territory and protect the people.

There are not many choices, so you can only fight to the death with the Liao soldiers.

I was so nervous that I couldn't sleep at night.

Fortunately, in the Battle of Shunzhou, the Song army played a great style, especially the Wang family's iron cavalry, which was a nightmare for the Khitans. They didn't dare to enter the Kou in a big way, and Youzhou was in a delicate balance.

"In the past, the Great Song Dynasty dealt with the Great Liao, mainly to prevent a large-scale invasion, so it built Xiongcheng, hoarded men and horses, and put on a posture of engaging in battles at all levels...... From now on, we must arrange the defense line more extensively, establish an intelligence and early warning system, and prepare a capable field corps to support all sides at any time. Murong Qingchen said categorically.

His speech was unanimously supported by the big guys, including Yang Wenguang, who came from Juyong Pass, also nodded frequently and was very satisfied.

"God bless the Great Song Dynasty, there are many good generals, even if we old ones retire, we don't have to worry about no successor."

According to Murong Qingchen's suggestion, everyone actively discussed and finally came up with a set of strategies.

Divided into two parts, the first is the whole army.

After the Wang family's iron cavalry showed its might, Zhao Zhen imitated the Wang family's iron cavalry and also formed 3,000 heavy cavalry, escorted by Yang Wenguang.

Zhao Zhen went to Luoyang to inspect and took away 20,000 Japanese soldiers and 3,000 heavy cavalry.

There are still 3,000 heavy cavalry, nearly 20,000 light cavalry, and 100,000 infantry left in Youzhou, and behind them there are huge Hebei legions, as well as many van troops.

Obviously, the current troop allocation is for a decisive battle with the main force of the Liao army, with infantry as the main force and cavalry as the auxiliary.

After the adjustment, the 3,000 heavy cavalry of the Wang family was divided into three thousand-man teams, which were commanded by Liang Dagang, Li Wujian and Wang Ningxuan, and were divided into three parties, left, middle and right, to deal with the Liao soldiers.

Under the heavy cavalry, the light cavalry was also adjusted, stationed in various states, and strengthened the guard.

……

Finally, there is the infantry group.

"This is the second part of our rectification, to rebuild the Great Wall, to set up a beacon every three miles, a pier every five miles, and a fort every ten miles. In this way, step by step, send foot guards to guard, as long as the Liao soldiers appear, immediately light the beacon fire, and the whole army is on alert. The army and the people must retreat into the castle and defend it to the death. Each fort must accommodate at least 3,000 people, of which 500 can be combated, relying on the city, can withstand the attack of 5,000 Liao soldiers, and must be able to defend for one to two days to buy time for reinforcements. ”

Murong Qingchen said the truth, which attracted a burst of praise from everyone, and he could really follow what he said, the line of the Great Wall is bound to be impregnable, and no one wants to break it.

But Murong Qingchen spread his hands, "If you want to do this, I'm afraid it's not easy." ”

Zhao Zongjing was curious: "Why?" ”

"The Liao soldiers won't let us get our wish." Murong Qingchen said helplessly: "It's not a small project to build so many pier castles, if the Liao soldiers enter the palace from time to time, harass and destroy, I really don't know when it will be repaired!" ”

Zhao Zongjing was silent for a long time, and suddenly screamed, "You don't know why you are talking so lively?" Do you kid have any way to deal with the Liao soldiers? ”

Murong Qingchen's face also turned red, "Little Lord, if you want to prevent the Liao soldiers from attacking and harassing, you must first defeat their main force, and then you can repair the city with peace of mind." That's what Qin Shi Huang did back then, first defeating the main force of the Xiongnu, and then letting General Meng Tian build the Great Wall to guard against the Xiongnu. ”

Liu Yu said: "Brother Murong, I didn't understand it wrong, are you saying that you have to defeat the main force of the Liao State before you can build the Great Wall?" But the question is, we have the ability to defeat the main force of the Liao soldiers, what are we doing to build the Great Wall? Just kill into the grassland and destroy the Liao State! ”

Murong Qingchen also asked rhetorically: "You said lightly, can we go on an expedition now?" Yeluhongki doesn't even have to fight us, as long as he keeps attacking our grain routes, it will be enough to defeat us. ”

Speaking of which, it turned out to be a dead knot.

To build the Great Wall, it is to deal with the Liao soldiers, but if you want to successfully build the Great Wall, you must first eliminate the interference of the Liao soldiers and destroy the main force of the Liao State, but at present, building the Great Wall and defending it is not capable of dealing with the Liao soldiers, let alone destroying the main force of the Liao State......

The big guy's last eyes fell on Wang Ning'an, and he said in his heart, Lord Wang, you can make a decision for us!

Wang Ning'an is so angry, you bunnies, you rabbit cubs, you know to look for me when you encounter something, so who should I go to? Wang Ningan thought for a long time, and suddenly saw Ouyang Xiu, and his eyes lit up.

"I said drunkard, how's that thing being studied?"

Ouyang Xiu was still confused, "What is it?" ”

Wang Ning'an was even worse, "A few years ago, didn't we ask the Baigong Institute to research new waterproof building materials, mainly to deal with the flooding of the Yellow River and build embankments? Have they yielded any results? ”

Ouyang Xiu's old face turned red, and he was embarrassed: "Do you still have to ask Su Song about this, after all, the old man is not good at ......"

Obviously, in order to solve the problem of the construction period of the Great Wall and the attack of the Liao soldiers, there is only one way, that is, to cause it quickly and not give the Liao soldiers time to react.

But it takes time to use the old building materials, polish the stones, fire the bricks, make the binder with glutinous rice and egg whites, and build a small fort, which cannot be completed in a few months, and it will take time for the walls to dry completely before it can be solid.

For such a long time, the Liao soldiers were enough to kill a few back and forth.

However, if there is cement, the construction period can be greatly shortened, and before the Liao soldiers can react, the Great Song Dynasty has repaired a strong castle, which can boldly defend against the enemy.

The only problem...... Thousands of years later, people will crowd on the Great Wall of cement, no matter how you think about it, it will smell of destroying cultural relics and monuments...... However, Wang Ningan has already made up his mind, and it doesn't matter if he is infamous. He wanted to write Su Song immediately, and if he hadn't made the cement yet, Wang Ningan would personally intervene.

So many seniors have succeeded, there's no reason why Lao Tzu can't do it!

……

Wang Ningan is worried, and there are also people in Luoyang who are worried, that is, Wen Yanbo and Wen Xianggong. He was also responsible for the construction of the new capital.

The most important of these is the Royal Palace, which is listed as a top priority.

Wen Yanbo is very experienced, he commands Ruoding, and the required timber and bricks are quickly prepared.

But just after the beginning, something appeared in front of me.

The Kaifeng Imperial Palace had to be abandoned because of the use of lead pipes.

Luoyang Palace can't use lead pipes, so what to use?

Pipe?

It rotted quickly.

Copper pipes?

It's not possible, the cost is too high, and the copper will rust.

Stone?

This is a good choice, but after the experiment, Wen Yanbo also shook his head, if a complete stone, hollowed out in the middle, made into a water pipe, it is too difficult, a little careless, the stone will break, the speed is outrageously slow.

What if two halves of stone were put together to make a water pipe?

The muddy water from the outside will seep into the pipes along the cracks, and it won't be long before it will be clogged.

It's to think about it, the rain is pouring down, the sewers are blocked, and the palace has become an invincible sea-view room, so it will be lively. If the emperor is angry, he won't be rolling!

Wen Yanbo finally understood, no wonder the predecessors used lead pipes to drain water!

Maybe people really don't make it bad, but they have to do it.

When Zhao Zhen arrived, he first went to investigate the progress of the palace, Wen Yanbo's old face was flushed, and he didn't do a good job in the water, how to get up the palace above, so the huge construction site was in a mess.

"Your Majesty, the old minister thinks that if you continue to use lead pipes, you can bury ...... deeply?"

Before he finished speaking, Zhao Zhen's eyes were like eating people, he flicked his sleeves, and scolded angrily: "Xianggong Wen, I have lost so many children, don't you think you are dead enough?" Whoever dares to lift the lead pipe with me again will be killed! ”

His Majesty the Emperor was disgusted with lead pipes, and had become a pathological obsession, and snorted angrily: "The materials must be safe, the progress must not be delayed, it cannot be done, and the national law is waiting!" ”

After speaking, Zhao Zhen turned around and left, leaving Lao Wen aside.

Sure enough, the credit is not easy to stand!

Wen Yanbo's facial features shrank into buns with sorrow, full of grievances, he won the war, and the emperor's temper became bigger, and he became more and more difficult to serve. You can't use a lead pipe, so you have to use a god horse?

God, tell me quickly!
