Although the Liao State has been founded for more than 50 years, there have been four emperors, but the domestic political form is still very chaotic, in the final analysis, this is a semi-feudal multi-tribal alliance regime, the highest population composition status is the Khitan eight tribes, followed by the Xi people five tribes, and again the Bohai State relics, Huangtou Murwei, Heichezi Murwei and other departments, and the Youzhou Han people have the lowest status in the Liao State.

Don't look at Han Yanhui, who once assisted Abaoji in establishing the country, and posthumously presented it as Shangshuling, but his power is very limited, but he is just a traitor-lackey. And when the civil strife in the Bohai Sea was destroyed by Abaoji, he slaughtered the Daguangxian clan, and set up the Bohai State clan Lie Wanhua as the king of Bohai, and set up his own prince Yelubei as the king of Dongdan to control the old land of Bohai, murdered a few years later, and set up a three- or four-year-old child Wu Xuanming as the king, who is the king of Bohai stability, and is still in power, but he is just a puppet, and the military and political power is in the hands of the important ministers of the Liao State.

The Bohai State is still dying, and some of the ministers and nobles have similar status in the Liao State, even worse than some Han generals, and the Yijin guard general Yanhui is like this, he is not born in the Bohai nobles, he had followed Yelu Deguang back then, so he was able to take charge of a military town alone, with 5,000 soldiers mixed with Bohai people and Han people.

Now Wang Hong, the assassin of Guanning Prefecture, led the city to surrender, and the side of Yijin Pass lost its protection, and the Cangzhou Henghai army camped under the city, but did not attack the city, and repeatedly sent Wang Hong to persuade him to surrender. Yijin Pass is a narrow strip of land between the Juma River and Yishui, and it is not a real dangerous place, and the Zhou army has a water division, which can attack Guancheng by land and water at the same time.

The reason why Zhong Yanhui hesitated was mainly worried about whether he could still guarantee his current status after surrendering, and the conditions given by Zhang Yue were very clear, a military state in the territory of the Great Zhou Dynasty, that is, the army would be organized, and he himself would also be transferred from the original place, so this made Zhong Yanhui very entangled.

But after a few days of delay, news came from the south one after another, Win and Mo Erzhou were lost one after another, and after the Zhou army of more than 10,000 troops seized Renqiu, they entered Xiongxian and Guiyi areas south of the Ma River, formed a three-sided encirclement of Yijin Pass, and cut off the possibility of support from Yi and Dingzhou.

It dragged on until the fifteenth day of the lunar month, and the deadline arrived, and finally Yanhui had to go out of the city and surrender. Just on this day, Xue Wenqian led his troops to arrive, and brought the latest news of Yuan Yan's department on the west road, after six days of strong attack, Dingzhou Anxi City was broken, Yuan Yan left part of the troops to guard Dingzhou, led 12,000 troops to the north, into the south of Tunyizhou Langshan area, hoping that Zhang Yue sent troops along the Juma River to the west, stationed in the southeast of Yizhou, because at this time Youzhou Xiao Siwen has reacted, in the beginning of the mobilization of troops, if not as soon as possible to take Yizhou, I am afraid will miss the opportunity.

And now in the cold winter of Layue, the Juma River and Yishui will freeze, and the Liao army can directly cross the river from the ice to attack, so the defense line of Yishui and Juma River is not safe, and it is necessary to repair the river, clean up the waterway, repair the city fortifications, and there are many trivial affairs. In particular, the Fuhu River, which flows from Shenzhou to Yijin Pass to join the Juma River, needs to be dredged to ensure that logistical military needs can be transported to the front line, which is very important.

Zhang Yue not only had to divide troops to support Yuan Yan, but also urgently deployed the southern defense of the Juma River from Yizhou County to Cangzhou Estuary, of course, there was no way to go in person, so he sent Ming Jinpeng to lead 5,000 cavalry to the west, responsible for the defense of the line from Juma County to Guiyi County on the south bank of the Juma River; Xue Wenqian sat in Yijin Pass, responsible for the middle section of the Juma River, and the downstream was in Cangzhou, where the Qianfu army was stationed.

Arrange for 20,000 troops on the front line to seize the time to repair the river, Zhang Yue went south to inspect, because the current military and political mess in Mo and Ying two prefectures, it is necessary to reappoint officials, so that the state government can resume operation, and the matter of repairing the river can only be done by requisitioning local people, which must be done with the cooperation of local officials.

Zhang Yue only took three hundred personal soldiers to ride south, this evening to Waqiao Pass, the general Yao Neibin out of the city to welcome, Zhang Yue has a certain understanding of this person in advance, because Dong Zunzhi refused to surrender when he tackled the key points, and heard that Wang Hong surrendered to the mouth of the pass. But it was naturally difficult to mention these at this time, and he still praised with a smile: "General Yao abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, and pulled out the chaos to set things right, which can be said to be well understood, and I don't know where I come from?" How many soldiers do your subordinates have? ”

"Back to the chapter! The ancestral home of the last general is Pingzhou, but there is no industry in his hometown, and his family is in the army with the last general. There are 2,500 troops stationed here in Waqiaoguan, and the minister wants to review it? Yao Neibin was more than Chinese New Year's Eve years old, and although Zhang Yue had a kind attitude, he couldn't help but feel a little apprehensive when he asked about the garrison.

"That's not necessary, the Northern Expedition has just begun, and it is the time for you to prepare for the war, the army must maintain its fighting strength, and report any difficulties later. That's right...... Who is in charge of the state affairs in Mozambique now? Zhang Yue encouraged two sentences and casually brought to the point.

"The original Mozhou assassin is Xiao Ximo, but he is only in charge of military affairs, and the person who actually presides over the daily administration of the state government is Liu Chuxin, a state Sima from a local family, and this person is not bad among the locals." Yao Neibin replied.

"What is the population of the two states? Can you recruit some young people? Zhang Yue asked as he walked, and after passing the deep doorway of the city, the sight in front of him suddenly brightened, and he first saw that the gate was about a few feet high, and he couldn't help but want to go to the city to inspect, so he walked to the road under the wall.

Yao Neibin hurriedly led the way, and replied with a smile: "Yingzhou is not very clear, the situation in Mozhou is not optimistic, the taxes are heavy, every year there are ordinary people who drag their families to the south to eat, and the rest of the family has a big business and can't get out, and there are about a few thousand households in the six counties under the rule!" ”

"That's not bad!" Needless to say, this situation must be full of manor dock forts, the so-called taxes and strong men, can only be shared by large households, Zhang Yue nodded, went to the city to inspect it, and saw that the city was majestic and magnificent, and the defenders had few troops and dilapidated equipment, and suddenly felt a little worried.

The next day, he ordered Yijin Pass to Xue Wenqian, and ordered Zhuang Shao, who had recently surrendered, to lead 3,000 Yijin Pass soldiers to take over the defense, while Yao Neibin was transferred back to Renqiu and had the right to lead the defense envoy of Benzhou; And the state Sima Liu Chuxin has the right to lead the state affairs.

Later, he went south to Renqiu and Hejian, and the two Han generals Yan Bin and Ji Wan of Yingzhou were temporarily the main and deputy defense envoys of Yingzhou, and Sima Gao Yanhui of the state was the consul of the state. In this way, the appointment of the chief officials of the two prefectures will be reported to Tokyo, and then they will also be responsible for the military and political affairs of the prefectures and counties, and each of the two prefectures will recruit 15,000 people to repair the roads, and if they are not completed before the snowfall, they will continue until the construction is completed in the spring of next year.

After arranging these affairs, Zhang Yue planned to supervise the work in the river, and transfer grain and grass to Waqiao Guantunji, at this time news came from the north that Yuan Yan had captured Yizhou, and defeated more than 10,000 Liao reinforcements on the south bank of Laishui in the north of the state, and beheaded 3,000 people. Ming Jinpeng also fought several small-scale sporadic battles in the area of Yuxian and Guiyi, and beheaded more than 1,000 people in total.

Judging from the comprehensive military report, Zhang Yue estimated that the Liao army in Youzhou was to test the south with small-scale cavalry, or to reconnoiter the strength of the Zhou army's defensive line, and the main force to the south may be a matter of the spring of next year, but by then, the Great Zhou prepared 100,000 forbidden troops with enough grain and grass, and the emperor personally led the elite as the main force, and it was still very promising to recover Youzhou.

If the main force of the forbidden army goes north, the huge amount of logistics materials will inevitably go through the Yellow River and canals, and these rivers will freeze as soon as it snows, and they will generally not thaw until the weather warms up at the end of the first month.

It is now the second month of the lunar month, and there is still a month and a half to go, Zhang Yue is deployed along the border, this year is not good, the rivers along the border of Hebei must be dredged, so that the main force can sail as soon as it arrives, the time is tight and the manpower is insufficient, and even the troops are tight.
