In this way, Han Wang went through the door and searched the door before he was allowed to return to the room. In the midst of doubt, Yi Cheng came to pass the word, and Lord Qin was invited.

Han Wang rushed to Qin Hui's room, but saw that Song Ke was also included, and he looked sad about owing a million people. Qin Hui saw that Han Wang was coming, and immediately introduced the situation.

It turned out that on May 26, the Yang Keshi Department of the Western Army was attacked and defeated by Yelu Dashi, and the Yang Department retreated to Xiongzhou to join the Seed Master Dao; Yelu Dashi was in hot pursuit, and when the master saw this, he personally commanded the main force of the 30,000 Western Army, and prepared to fight to the death with the Liao army outside the city of Xiongzhou.

Unexpectedly, Yelu Dashi sent 2,000 elite cavalry to attack the rear defense of Xiongzhou, and burned the grain and grass of the Western Army in one fell swoop. Yelu Dashi took the opportunity to launch a fierce attack, and actually relied on 8,000 miscellaneous troops to defeat 30,000 elites of the Seed Master Dao to lose their armor and lay down their corpses for hundreds of miles, like a lost dog fleeing to Zhending.

This morning, Song Ke received an urgent report from the Western Army's sentry cavalry, and hurriedly reported to Ding Pei, such a bombshell made many officials in the Ya have no master, thinking that the elite of the Western Army were defeated and fled, this is really a place of projectiles, and the Khitan Iron Cavalry will arrive in a moment, how can they compete? For a while, officials of all sizes packed their bags and prepared to flee south of the city. At this time, it happened that the post house sent someone to report that Taixue Xuezheng had settled in the post house and sent someone to pass Ding Pei.

Ding Pei is not stupid, how dare he be charged with abandoning the city and land, it is better to pull Qin Hui to carry it together, after all, he is a Beijing official, which is better than being a sesame mung bean official. So he asked Song Ke to report the situation first, he took Hu Chun and Wang Yi to suppress the subordinate officials, and then contacted Liu Tao and Liu Guanglu to come to the post house together to discuss the important matters of Zhending city defense.

Song Ke saw Qin Hui and told him all the facts, Qin Hui knew nothing about the march and fighting, and he couldn't even make a decision at this moment, just when Han Wang came back, he sent someone to ask him to hear his opinion.

Han Wang gasped, these 8,000 Liao people actually defeated the 40,000 Western Army, and they were also the elite of the Western Army with a famous general, it was really hard to imagine how the other Song troops were weakened. However, this is not what he thinks, so he still understands the situation before making a decision, and asks Song Ke in detail about the actual strength and city defense. After Song Ke's introduction, Han Wang knew that there must be three troops, Liu Guangshi's department, about 3,000 people, about 1,000 brave soldiers of the governor's deputy envoy Liu Tao, and about 1,000 soldiers under Song Ke.

This total is six or seven thousand people, plus the Breeder Dao people who are about to be defeated, there should be no less than five thousand. At this time, Han Wang's heart was steady, if the Liao army changed from a cavalry state to a siege mode, there would not be much cheap to make, so it would be no problem to defend it.

As soon as these words came out, Song Ke and Qin Hui were obviously relieved; Yes, as long as the city defense is there, the Khitan Liao army will not be able to fight, and the formation will not fight, which is a lesson of a hundred years of blood in the Liao State, not to mention siege warfare.

Han Wang put forward three requirements, first, gather all the brave and brave soldiers in the city and hand them over to one person for unified command; Recruit people to strengthen the city wall and prepare sufficient food and defensive equipment. 2. Set up a rout shelter outside the city, rectify the defeated Western Army, rectify one part into the city, coordinate the defense, and the rout camp and Zhending City are each other's horns, which is conducive to improving the defensive intensity of the city; 3. Widely spread espionage, reconnoiter the movements of the Liao army everywhere, and at the same time send urgent foot deliveries to Tokyo and other state capitals to strive for the early dispatch of reinforcements. This is how you can be sure that you are sure that you are not lost.

In this arrangement, Qin Hui and Song Ke agreed one by one, only the candidates for the unified command of the city defense army, there are currently Liu Guanglu, Liu Tao and Seed Master Dao, as for who to choose, we still have to wait for Ding Pei and others to come and then discuss.

Next, Qin Hui had a headache, because Song Ke also reported a situation; The Western Army, after Yang Keshi's palace, lost contact with the brigade between Xiongzhou and Zhending, and his life and death were unknown, so he needed to send people to search and rescue as soon as possible.

Han Wang's heart suddenly moved, how could this scene be similar to Saving Private Ryan; In the midst of the chaos, it is not suitable for the brigade of military horses to go, and only a small team needs to see the opportunity to intersperse behind the enemy's back, and it may be able to be rescued. It's best if you can go by yourself, after all, this situation is similar to a special operation, and you can just take a ten-person squad to go there, and it will be a real combat exercise. But I can't express my position now, looking at the appearance of Qin Hui and Song Ke, no one wants to take risks in this kind of thing, it is best to knock Qin Hui hard.

Just when they were at a loss, Ding Pei, Liu Guanglu, and Liu Tao also arrived. Liu Tao and Liu Guanglu had never seen Han Wang, Ding Pei specially introduced it, and Qin Hui also helped out with two sentences, intentionally or unintentionally, which left a place in their hearts.

Next, everyone discussed the matter of unified command, because Liu Tao was the deputy envoy of the governor, and in the general sense, he was in charge of the Zhending military affairs on behalf of the official family, but the specific operation still depended on Liu Guanglu, after all, he was Liu Guangshi's younger brother, and he had experience in fighting against the party. Therefore, Liu Tao was responsible for scheduling, Liu Guanglu was responsible for direct command, Ding Pei was responsible for preparing logistics, and Song Ke was responsible for rectifying the rout and guarding the city.

Now that the key positions of the city defense have been implemented, everyone began to discuss the search and rescue of Yang Keshi again, and sure enough, no one was willing to risk it for a rout army that did not know life and death. But we can't help but send someone to respond, otherwise the Western Army will be furious and the court will not be able to deal with it.

Liu Guanglu hit Han Wang with his idea, so he tentatively recommended Han Wang to go, saying that only the Sixth Union Barracks was the closest to Xiongcheng, or Han Wang would take Yi Yong to advance a little and spy on it.

Song Ke immediately agreed, saying that it must be the key point, and it should not be taken lightly! Although the Sixth Combined Barracks has few people, it only needs to advance a little to search, and at the same time ensure that if the Khitan brigade of military horses is found, it can be withdrawn again and there will be no danger.

Trick a child? Han Wang pretended to be entangled, kept silent, and said, "The barracks has just been established for three days, where can I release it, I'm afraid that I will run out without seeing the Liao army."

Qin Hui naturally knew that Han Wang's bottom line was detailed, and this must be a benefit! Coughing lightly, everyone saw that Master Xuezheng had something to say, and naturally hoped that he would be able to persuade Han Wang to set off quickly to deal with the drudgery of searching for and rescuing the Western Army. Unexpectedly, Qin Hui not only did not follow the good path, but reprimanded Han Wang sharply, "The imperial court has raised troops for a thousand days~ Well, even if it is three days, it is also a righteous name, how can you cower, what is the use of you?!" If you can't do it, don't do it! ”

When everyone heard what was going on, Master Xuezheng had a pretty big temper, but if he squeezed this Han Wang away, who would do this? Song Ke was busy being a peacemaker, said a few words to Han Wang, and comforted Qin Hui a few words, saying that it was understandable that he was young and inexperienced, so he was discussing it?

Qin Hui suddenly frowned, and said to Han Wang, "Two ways, either withdraw from the barracks and go back to become a teacher; Either take someone to search and rescue General Yang, and if he finds General Yang, he will ask the court for merit for him" and said that 300 military expenses were allocated from the county government, and 30 cavalry were also allocated to his sixth joint battalion to strengthen his momentum.

Han Wang secretly gave a thumbs up when he saw it, this Qin Hui is really a confidant, and he cooperated so well. Give money to the official and give people horses, what a big Song warm man!
