The military plane naturally could not be delayed, so Huang Jie sent someone to report to the Horse Mansion, and then went straight to the Privy Council. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

After arriving, I found that the official office was also busy, and even when I passed the front yard, I saw that there was a flowing water seat in the small school field, and the soldiers dressed in Wurong were patting the team to eat with wooden barrels and bowls.

Huang Jie signed up to see him, and Tong Guan also looked up and smiled in his busy schedule, and said, "Ziying is here, can you eat?" Let's go outside the door and use some first, and wait a little less before talking. ”

Huang Jie was naturally speechless, thinking about it, he also called Fushou to greet the entourage and went to the street outside Shangshu Province to find a hotel to eat, leaving Huang Dalong and Huang Shi around them, and also found a square table in the front yard, just call the guy to eat the meal, and it is not bad to wait for the meal to be sent to see, there is naturally only one dish, it is a fat and lean pork stewed pickle, and the rice that Jiangnan pays tribute to when the rice arrives.

And the guy obviously knew that Huang Jie's origin was not small, and the dishes he called were naturally more meat and less pickled vegetables, Huang Jie naturally didn't say much in his eyes, so he also ate it, and the only feeling was that the cook in the Privy Council was quite kind, and he was willing to put aside the oil and salt and cook it just right, but it was also easy to be hungry.

Soon, Huang Jie and the others had just eaten halfway, but when they saw Tong Guan coming out of the inner hall, he also took a big bowl and ate at will, so he came to Huang Jie's table and sat down to eat, but saw that his gobbling appearance was no different from the soldiers in the courtyard, and even the rice stained on his beard was also taken down and eaten.

When Tong Guan almost finished eating a large bowl of rice with a full three or four catties of rice, and took the rice bowl to pour a bowl of tea in the tea bucket, he looked at Huang Jie, who was a little surprised, and smiled: "Are you full?" Come in and talk! ”

It was said that Huang Jie was half full, but since Tong Guan asked him to speak, how could he be embarrassed to continue eating, so he also followed in, and when Tong Guan did not take a seat in the inner hall, he asked Huang Jie to walk to his public desk and pointed to a map above: "Ziying thinks that if there are 50,000 cavalry troops, 100,000 infantry soldiers, and 50,000 chariot troops, Yan Yun can call him?" ”

Huang Jie looked at the map, but also recognized that it was the map of Hebei Road and the sixteen states of Yanyun, and then looked at the date marked in the lower right corner of the map, it was May of the first year of Xuanhe, that is to say, this map should be marked with the latest deployment of Liao troops. Huang Jie was naturally busy reading carefully, but he saw that from west to east, the deployment of Liao's troops was very abnormal.

Among them, taking the Song, Xia, and Liao borders of the Liao State Dongshengzhou (Inner Mongolia Tuoketuo County) as an example, there are two armies stationed here in Heqing and Jinsu, and the current troop deployment is 17,000 Heqing troops and 14,000 Jinsu troops, which is far less than half of last year's troops. The Liao troops stationed in Shuozhou (now Shuozhou) and Wuzhou (Shenchi County) between the Great Song Prefecture (Fugu County, Shaanxi) and Daizhou (Yanmen Pass) were 3,000 and 5,000 respectively, and then went east, Yingzhou, Ulzhou, and finally Nanjing, and Xijin Prefecture of the Liao State, with no more than 10,000 troops, but 23,000 and 25,000 were stationed respectively in Yizhou and Zhuozhou, which are at the junction of Song and Liao to the south of Xijin Prefecture, and they have at least doubled their strength.

To put it simply, according to a rough judgment of the garrison on the map, the Liao State's troop mobilization was completely a posture of defense on the whole line, because in the past, the Liao army mostly stationed the main force in the hinterland of the big city, and most of the strategic nodes in the frontline area were only stationed with thousands of men and horses as guards. After all, for more than 100 years, the Liao army took the initiative to invade the Song Territory, and occasionally the Song people counterattacked, but for the Liao army, the marching speed of the Song army's all-infantry troops was not much faster than that of a snail, and naturally there was no need to garrison too many troops in the border area to consume food and grass.

Then the question arises: with the Jin and Liao states now in full swing, why did he take the initiative to strengthen the border defense of the Song Dynasty?

You know, according to the latest spy news, now the Western Route Army of the Jin State is eyeing the edge of the Linhuang Mansion in Shangjing of the Liao State, and has put on a posture of going to attack, and according to the spy news obtained before, in recent years, the Liao State has been constantly pulling out the garrison troops on the Song-Liao border to go east to fight the Jin State, why did he strengthen the defense of the Song-Liao border at this time?

Although Huang Jie has neither infiltrated the Privy Council nor planted any eyeliner in the border army, he knows that the Song army has put its main experience in the northwest in the past two years to clean up Li Qianshun, and has not publicly strengthened the deployment of troops on the Song-Liao border on a large scale, so what are the plans of the Liao people to make such a response inexplicably?

For a while, Huang Jie also felt that his brain was not enough, and Tong Guan saw that Huang Jie was fascinated by the picture, so he didn't bother him, and hurriedly picked up the documents on the case and read them.

After a while, Huang Jie finally straightened out the paste in his head, in short, judging from the current situation, it is impossible for the Great Song Dynasty to take the initiative to attack the Liao State, because there is no such plan and military budget at all, and the Liao State is now being held to the throat by the Jin State with a knife, and it is impossible to take the initiative to invade the Great Song Dynasty, so it is very likely that the transfer of troops like this is a suspicious strategy, and it is even possible that the Liao envoy will take the initiative to make peace with the relatives this time to increase the bargaining chips, and it may even be through such a transfer to integrate and reorganize the border army of the Liao State. Perhaps they would soon use the excuse of a strike to quickly transfer these troops back to Shangjing to deal with the Jin State.

Thinking about it, Huang Jie suddenly became enlightened, and he understood why Tong Guan asked just now, "Yanyun is desirable", so he said without raising his head: "Uncle Tong, now looking at the strength of the Liao people, I am afraid that I will take advantage of the peace to go north, although it is an opportunity with the Great Song Dynasty, but where to get 50,000 cavalry and 100,000 foot soldiers in a hurry?" As for the 50,000 chariot soldiers, it is not difficult, if you immediately transfer back to Han Jinbao's department from the northwest, and at the same time transfer more than 40,000 crossbowmen from the Fourth Army in Tokyo to immediately train them, when Han Jinbao's troops return to Beijing, they can form an army......"

"Is that true?"

Huang Jie was burying his head as he was talking, when suddenly there was a thunder explosion in his ears, which frightened him, and when he turned his head to look, he found that there were more than a dozen generals in this inner hall, and the planter and Gao Yu were naturally there, but what was drinking in his ears just now was a middle-aged fat man, this person was born with a red face, and he also had a long hair of the same style as Emperor Guan.

Although Huang Jie was taken aback by him, he also found that this person looked amazing, and when he looked closely, he felt that his eyebrows were in the sideburns, his phoenix eyes were facing the sky, his face was like a heavy jujube, and his lips were painted with Zhu, and he suddenly had a heart in his heart. However, when the red-faced man saw that Huang Jie was just staring at him stunned, he stretched out his hand and patted Huang Jie on the shoulder, and shouted: "That little guy, how did you become a gourd with a sawing mouth, Guan Mou asked you!" ”

At this time, he laughed and said, "Wen Leopard is rude, don't you come to see the general Huang Jie and Huang Ziying." (To be continued.) )
