Cao Wei was in the northwest and heard that he had won a few small battles.

Li Jilong is also in the northwest, and it seems that he has touched the case of seizing the heir and stood on the wrong team, so he hid in Chenzhou, and later became a governor of Shengzhou, so he was not at ease, so he and Cao Wei came to an exchange.

This is the news from Xiao Yanyan's desk.

The report of the defeat on the Hedong side has not yet been delivered to her for the time being.

Therefore, after hitting a wall in several places, she wisely chose not to be angry, and the Song Dynasty retreated the people on the front line together. This is fatal, and it is impossible for the Liao State to be like the army of the Song Dynasty, which must have a large amount of grain and grass for every battle.

Therefore, she concentrated the main army and turned to Dingzhou.

This is the bitterness of Hebei, most of which are plains, and even if there are cities, they cannot stop the enemy from moving south. Fortunately, there are mostly swampy lakes on the Cangzhou side, otherwise it would be worse, and later the Yellow River was diverted, flooded many times, silted up, the lake was gone, the swamp was gone, and the Jin soldiers went south unimpeded. Of course, the Jin people also suffered, and the Yuan and Mongolian armies also went south unhindered until the Ming Dynasty's Son of Heaven Yuguomen......

Now the multiple-choice question is in the hands of Wang Chao.

The army is in his hands, and there is no Zhou Ying's constraints, and hundreds of thousands of troops have the strength to fight.

However, Wang Chao did one thing and did not move.

This is the place of controversy in later generations, some people say that Wang Chao did the right thing, he is the main general, and he must follow Zhao Heng's instructions, where to set up a big array.

Some people say that Wang Chao did something wrong, it's not the same thing, Zhao Heng is a soft-handed person, so soft that Zhou Ying made such a big mistake, Song Jiu just asked Zhou Ying to go to Chuzhou to be the governor. I also grinded the wrong lip. Will not grant the order of the king! When Wang Chao really learns from Li Jilong, will Zhao Heng punish him? Definitely not!

In fact, Wang Chao is also thinking about this issue.

There are two outcomes. defeated, I believe that Zhao Heng not only did not punish him. Instead, he will be rewarded. But what happens if the battle is lost?

When he was in Wangdu, he chose to run away, and now.

This is a general who can only fight the battle of tailwind and advantage, like most Song generals. Although he was brave, he did not dare to fight against the wind.

Therefore, he "wisely" chose a result, felling for a fence and resolutely defending.

However, he didn't expect that his career was a little bleak. Don't forget, there is also a prime minister in the DPRK, an old minister of the three dynasties, and he has served as the prime minister for many years, and even took the initiative to go to the battlefield several times......

Wang Chao didn't move, and Xiao Yanyan was not very easy to gnaw. But that's what she's doing, and you'd better be like that.

And the supply of 300,000 troops also gave her a headache, so the army ignored Wang Chao's hundreds of thousands of Hebei troops and whipped south.

Wang Chao was even more immovable.

The Song Dynasty had horses and cavalry. In fact, in the history of the Song Dynasty, the horse situation was not very tense, before Li Jiqian did not fully control the northwest, the Song Dynasty got many war horses, and the number of horses owned by the Battle of Lanyuan reached 200,000. However, later it was mostly raised in the Central Plains. In addition, the pastoral officials were greedy for ink, and the raising was illegal, and other reasons. A lot of them died one after another. And then it really turned into a battle of infantry.

Now the situation is a little better, not only the territory controlled by Li Jiqian at this time in history has fallen into the hands of the Song Dynasty. Cao Wei also opened up some territory in Weizhou. He even bought many war horses from Beizhubu.

These were the Mongolian horses that came to be called, and their explosive power and running speed were not as fast as those of the Hetao horses. However, they were easier to raise, and the imperial court also selected a batch to enter the army.

Therefore, the government of the Song Dynasty owned more than 280,000 war horses, and the actual number of war horses was larger, and they were mostly placed in the people, after all, it takes a lot of money to raise a war horse.

With horses, there were cavalry.

Now the number of cavalry in the Song Dynasty has long exceeded 100,000.

Most of them were still in the northwest, but there were also quite a few cavalry in Hebei and Hedong.

Including Wang Chao, there are more than 20,000 cavalry in his hands.

However, they don't dare to fight in Dingzhou, do they dare to chase? If the three armies were used, the infantry would have been dragged to death, and the number of cavalry would be insufficient.

So go ahead and rest.

Xiao Yanyan is happy, in fact, she has long seen the shortcomings of this big array, otherwise she would not dare to easily move the country's troops south.

The people of Hebei are sad this time.

At first, the Liao State encountered serious trouble, because of Song Jiu's proposal, the imperial courts of the prefectures and counties north of the Yellow River in Hebei Province funded the construction of many city walls, and even some large villages were also allocated funds to build wall walls.

There is also the training of the township soldiers, one is to fight, and the other is how to lead the people to evacuate to various safe places in time when the Liao army invades.

Because several battles on the front line dragged on, and it was the time of the autumn and the countryside, most of the people withdrew into the various walled cities in time.

Now that the village soldiers are reorganized, they also have some preliminary formations, and they also have the standard weapons of the imperial court in their hands, and even each person is issued with a yellow birch bow, one hundred to two hundred arrows, in addition to weapons such as Pu knives, and even insidious traps, but not iron rings, but two semicircular iron blades. It won't kill people, but when you put it on the ground, you can't see it by covering it with some floating soil, but if you fall on it, your legs will definitely be seriously injured, and you won't be able to die, and most of them will lose their combat effectiveness.

Some of the villagers even got inspiration and dug pits in the ground, which were covered with sharpened wooden stakes, and the one who fell into it would really die.

This is not insidious, because the Bohai Kingdom was destroyed, and Shi Pu brought many of Wu Xuanming's clansmen and cronies back to the Song Dynasty.

What will the birth girl really do at this time?

Not fighting, but digging holes in the ground.

It's cold, I can't survive in the cold winter if I don't dig a hole, and the scale of this hole is still very large, so that it is recorded in the annals of history. Not only live in people, but also put grain, but also raise pigs in the holes in the ground.

Therefore, Song Jiu sent these people out in advance and taught the people to dig tunnels in many places.

Therefore, after the Liao Kingdom went south, it went around and hit grass valleys and encountered great trouble. These measures are not invincible, but with the little grass valley that was hit, is it worth the casualties of so many soldiers? As for how many Song Dynasty people were killed, can the lives of the people of the Song Dynasty be compared to them?

Even if ten are exchanged for one, it is easy to replace the 300,000 Liao army.

Therefore, Xiao Yanyan was forced to reduce the needless grass valley.

It is this measure that has reduced the casualties of the Liao army to the people by about half this time!

But it didn't stump Xiao Yanyan either.

With the capture of Qizhou, there were too few troops. Although the officers and soldiers defending the city resisted heroically, they only held out for two days. and it was conquered. This allowed the Liao army to get a lot of supplies, because of the resistance of the Song people these days, the Liao State angrily killed all the officials and officers of Qizhou along with the officers and soldiers. Many innocent civilians were killed.

Then the Liao army quickly moved south again, and soon the city of Shenzhou fell, and Yingzhou was isolated, and no news was known. Hundreds of thousands of Liaoguo iron cavalry continued to move south, directly to the Daimyo's mansion.

After the Daimyo's Mansion is Shanzhou, followed by the undefended Huazhou, and then to the capital......

Kou Zhun was in a hurry. In the political hall said: "The enemy cavalry has reached the east of Shenqi, but the three-way army on the edge of the border is motionless in Dingzhou, Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, Yang Yanlang, Tian Min, etc. are in the Weilu army, etc., there is no other garrison on the east road of Hebei, please send an edict to send the Tianxiong army to ride 10,000 people first, and enter Beizhou, if it is not enough, please send 5,000 people, so that Du Yanjun and other generals will obey Sun Quanzhao's dispatch, if the enemy is near." Cover up the attack, and then let Shi Pu and Yan Chenghan fight and kill accordingly, and then recruit strong people to go deep into the enemy territory and burn the clan tent. Gather for a fight, or send more scouts to smell the enemy's movements. He also reported to the Tianxiong Army. One is to calm the hearts of the people, and the other is to have a military momentum. In order to confuse the enemy, the three shocks of the stone Pu Yan Chenghan military might. Fourth, looking at each other with Xing and Huan, it is enough for the purpose of horns. ”

However, when he finished speaking, Zhao Heng did not move.

The reason is very simple, Song Jiu told him last night that Hebei East Road is not very important, Xiao Yanyan went south this time and gathered 300,000 troops, as he had guessed before.

What is she going to do?

Soldier refers to Kaifeng!

If the troops are divided too much on the Hebei East Road, the speed of the march will be slowed down. The Song Dynasty was really jealous, and once reinforcements from all over the Song Dynasty arrived, it would not be easy to break through Kaifeng City. No matter how much Liao has gained this time, I believe that the gains outweigh the losses.

When the Liao State really didn't spend a penny in the war, and there was no reward at all after the war?

Kou Zhun said again: "Serve the sergeant, and you should not compete with the enemy in the wilderness to decide the victory. Today, the Xiongjun army to Beizhou, the garrison is only 30,000 troops, in case the enemy cavalry has been camped south of Beizhou, that is, more than 30,000 people will be sent from Dingzhou, so that Sangzan and others will form a formation to move south to Zhenzhou, and then order the troops of Hedong Lei You's final department to Dingzhou from Tumen. Judging the situation, then to Xing and Wei, Luan Yu can move smoothly. Moreover, Wang Chao and others fought in Dingzhou Yicheng, in response to Wei Neng and others, as a rendezvous, waiting to be moved to the vicinity of Dingzhou Hedong soldiers, and the first fortunate daimyo. ”

Song Jiu frowned slightly.

It's still a formation!

Form a ghost formation!

Later, Kou Zhun said: "In case the enemy builds a fence on the outskirts of Zhenzhi and Dingzhi, the Dingzhou soldiers cannot come, and the north of Xing and Zhuzhi is gradually invaded, and the elite soldiers must be divided into three routes, so they will send the generals to meet, and order Wei Neng and others to go eastward and contain the city, and the enemy will have worries about the future and dare not discuss it lightly." If the car is not good, it is afraid that the thieves will harm the living beings, or if the chariot is lifted in person, it is also necessary to cross the river, and fortunately, it is easy to be controlled nearby, and the meeting is controlled. ”

Zhao Heng didn't say anything about driving Lanzhou first, but said slowly: "Someone suggested to me that the capital be moved to Yizhou or Jinling, how about Qingjue?" ”

Kou Zhun was stunned for a moment, and then looked at Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo next to him, Wang Qinruo is from Jiangnan, and Chen Yaosuo is from Sichuan, needless to say, this ridiculous idea was from them.

He was furious and said: "Whoever draws this plan for His Majesty can be punished!" Today, the son is martial, and the general is in harmony, if the car is driven in person, he should flee, otherwise, he will be surprised to scratch his plot and stick to his people. The trend of work and rest, I have a chance of winning, but I want to abandon the sect, far away from Chu and Shu! ”

Song Jiu smiled bitterly, this is the joke of history.

There is no need to ask, he also knows that the Dao is a bad idea of Chen and Wang, will Zhao Heng agree?

Don't say that Chengdu is not very stable now, not to mention what happened to Emperor Tang Ming after he fled to Chengdu?

As for Jinling, how long did it take for the Song Dynasty to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. Is the country really in chaos to the Western Jin Dynasty?

Besides, Zhao Heng didn't know that Kou Zhun was the main battle faction, so why did he have any intention to ask Kou Zhun, or did he ask in front of Wang Qinruo and Chen Yaosuo.

This is a ridiculous remark that deliberately used Kou Zhun's mouth to seal the two, after all, if Wang Qin is his beloved minister, it is not good to reprimand him in person. is not Aichen, Zhao Heng rarely reprimands ministers.

It seems that this incident has become Kou Zhun's credit in history. also suddenly understood why Wang Qinruo succeeded in instigating success in history.

Thinking like this, he couldn't help but stare at Wang Dan.

In the future, the burden of the country will be borne by this person.

Of course, Kou Zhun couldn't have imagined that Song Jiu actually thought of the future prime minister candidate a few years later, maybe he was stimulated by this, maybe he had already become dissatisfied with Song Jiu, and roared at Song Jiu again: "Song Gong, let me ask you, since you entered the Zhongshu, compared with the first year of Xianping, I have spent more than 110 million yuan in military spending in the past four years, where are those soldiers trained in the northwest?" ”

"It's finally here...... Hei Zhong, since you asked me, it is time for me to reveal the truth. However, all this has nothing to do with His Majesty, it is all planned by me, and no matter how many people die after the war, or success or failure, I am responsible for it alone......"

Song Jiu looked at Zhao Heng and nodded. (To be continued......)
