The commander of the Southern Expedition Battalion has been decided, and the next training of the forbidden soldiers will be presided over by themselves, Zhang Yue will not be able to interfere anymore, it is noon when he comes out of the palace, and he is ready to go to Xuanhui Courtyard to see, and he took three or five horsemen to ride a horse from the south of Yujie, and just arrived at the entrance of the provincial capital of Shangshu Province, Song Yaozhu caught up from behind in a carriage, and asked Liu Guangsi to come and stop. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Zhang Yue turned over and dismounted, and when the carriage came to stop, he got in, the maid Huang Ying hurriedly sat aside, Zhang Yue didn't have any scruples, sat in and hugged Song Yaozhu into his arms, and said with a smile: "What's the matter?" Dare to come from Pan Lou, is there any news about the northwest? ”

"It's been more than a month, what do you say...... This is a secret military intelligence file, see for yourself! Song Yaozhu sat up straight, picked up the small red lacquered wooden box in the corner next to her, put it on her lap and opened it, took out two rolls of white silk and handed them over.

Zhang Yue took it and quickly browsed it, his face became a little complicated, but there were many surprises, Sun Yanshou and Zong Jingcheng summoned Wen Fan and Hante father and son to question, and learned that Hante had been to Xiazhou at the beginning of this year, and Zhe Gezhi first went to Datong Mansion to meet Yelu Tart Lie and Shuo, Sheng, Feng Zhuzhou Jiedu envoy Cui Xun.

Yelu Tart Lie had the intention of going south, but Cui Xun dissuaded him, so he sent someone to escort Zhe Ge Zhi to Shangjing to see the Liao lord, but Yelu Jing was actually a puppet, ate and slept, slept and ate, and waited for the autumn high horse fat to gallop and hunt, and did not care about political affairs, and Yelu Wu, the king of the North Courtyard who was in charge of the government and the right skin room was stable, did not approve of it.

The reason is very simple, although Yelu Chacha is gone, there are still many people in the Yelu Ruan line of Sejong, among which Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Courtyard who is resident in Youzhou, and Yelu Dilu (Han name Yang Gon) was very close to Sejong's relics.

It happened that the third son of Taizu Abaoji's uncle, Yelu Jundeshi, put down the rebellion of the northern Wugu tribe, and just returned to Beijing to accept the reward.

Yelu Wu quality only then paid attention to it, and then sent the Zhe Ge branch back to Qinghai, this road is very far away, until May and June, the Zhe Ge Zhi returned to Ganzhou, and at this time Yelu Wu quality also heard that the Great Zhou has taken Qinghai, recovered the entire river Huang, this is the wood has become a boat, can not be stopped.

The Liao State claimed to be the Northern Dynasty, the reason why the Khitan nobles repeatedly interfered in the affairs of the Central Plains and hindered the unification of the Great Zhou, it was not that they had the intention of ruling the Central Plains in the south.

Everyone sees all this, because of the problem of the crown prince in the Liao State has always been a hidden danger, of course, I am also afraid of the Northern Expedition after the national strength of the Central Plains is enhanced, after all, the sixteen states of Youyun have gained glory, and the Han people are not subject to the rule, and there are a large number of escapees every year.

However, soon there was news that the Emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty was preparing to march south again, and Yelu Wuzhi summoned Xiao Siwen, the king of the Southern Courtyard of Youzhou, Yang Gon, the envoy of Qianbo in Pingzhou, Yelu Tzulie in Datong Mansion, and Cui Xun, the envoy of Fengzhou Jiedu, to return to Beijing to discuss the military strategy.

"The high-level news inside the Liao State in the north cannot be detected for the time being, but the Hedong Branch and the Hebei Branch have not entered Datong Mansion and Youzhou, and bought some merchants and clans to set up branches." Song Yaozhu saw that Zhang Yue pondered for a while after reading it, and finally came back to her senses, so she whispered.

"Excellent! With this information, we can calmly arrange. Zhang Yue smiled, but he was thinking in his heart that as long as the Liao army went south or west, he would have a great chance to return to the northwest to command the troops, instead of having to deal with the mess of logistics in the south.

"This is the news more than a month ago, Lanzhou Xuan Envoy Jun knows, and must have informed several border towns in Hehuang. The concubine also sent someone to summon Song Dequan in Guanzhong and asked him to reserve food again, but do you want to remind the marshals of Lingzhou Shuofang, Jinzhou and Luzhou? Song Yaozhu leaned on Zhang Yue's arms, a mantis head pillowed on Ailang's shoulder, and whispered softly with her face up.

"Tell them what they do, and if they ask, how do you know so much detail...... How do you answer? Just find a reason, and people won't believe it. Zhang Yue was noncommittal, Li Duoshou kindly reminded Fu Yanlin before, which made him and his wife a little unhappy.

"That's it, regardless of them, Lang Jun will wait to return to the northwest again! Ah...... Husband, you ......" Song Yaozhu suddenly felt that Zhang Yue's big hand had reached into the placket of her clothes, and she suddenly exclaimed, her pretty face turned red, and she buried her face in Zhang Yue's arms with a grin.

"What's the shouting about...... Let's go to Yang Ji Silk Village to deal with official business! The two of them sat in such a warm position, Zhang Yue's heart was on fire, and he couldn't wait, if it weren't for the maid Huang Ying sitting in the car, he would have wanted to try the feeling of car shock.

。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。。

In Lanzhou in mid-September, when the autumn weather was high and the sky was high and the clouds were light, after nearly a year of operation and governance, the local government finally recovered some vitality. This is still due to the fact that Huizhou, which is adjacent to Huizhou, has transferred a large amount of money and grain, and after the Huainan soldiers and their families arrived, they needed to be resettled in various places, and they could not stabilize without money.

Because Lanzhou Prefecture is long and narrow, reaching six or seven hundred miles from north to south, Xuan Chongwen re-planned the state border after taking office, set up county governance, and assigned Di Dao to the south of Kang Wolf Mountain in the south to Hezhou, retaining Yuzhong, Jincheng, Guangwu, Gaolan, Longquan five counties, plus several military forts, Lanzhou is still very large, at present, it is a defensive state, Liu Wenbai is the history of the state assassin, and the management of affairs is quite capable.

The garrisons in these two states are all promoted to town soldiers with township soldiers with a certain combat power in Jingzhou and Huizhou, and the Huainan soldiers and the Tibetan people are mixed as township soldiers, with the amount of 10,000 of the four armies. But in fact, the internal military system is divided into ten regiments.

The town soldiers also reached 10,000 people, Liu Wenbai and Hao Tianying each led a brigade, Xuan Chongwen is no longer in charge of military training and civil affairs in the state, and is now mainly responsible for the "Breaking the Front Assault Cavalry Training Battalion" teaching, daily training of elite soldiers, three battalions of the heavy infantry regiment, has been expanded to five battalions in addition to the town soldiers, heavy cavalry has also been expanded to three battalions, elite light cavalry includes scouts, each brigade is equipped with two battalions, and the horse army has been greatly increased.

In addition, there is Gongzhou Huaixin Jiedu Shi Deyuan, Gongzhou, Min Prefecture jurisdiction is not large, but it is adjacent to Qin, Cheng and other prefectures, business travel is active, plus the support of Jingzhou, it also quickly stabilized.

And Taozhou Huaide Festival Liu Xinfa, Shanzhou Xining Festival Sun Yanshou, these two towns have a vast jurisdiction, set up a lot of subordinate military cities, military forts, because of the lack of Han population, had to use a large number of naturalized generals, it can be regarded as stable.

These four towns each commanded 10,000 troops, and after September, the money and grain transferred by the Yongxing military government decreased, mainly relying on the supply and demand of surplus grain after the autumn harvest in Jingzhou and Huizhou, as well as some cattle and sheep requisitioned by the local Qiang tribes, and the logistical pressure was still very great.

Since July and August, after Sun Yanshou summoned Wen Fan's father and son for questioning, he learned that Liao might go west, so he reported the news to Xuan Chongwen, and then there was a reply, please go to Lanzhou to discuss. (To be continued.) )
