"Report!"

Song Jiu was also anxiously waiting for news from the front line in Xifu.

To be honest, even he made the Liao army a little chilled, and it is no wonder that so many people want to sue for peace.

Song Jiu quickly took the recital from the post man's hand and opened it to look at it.

After seeing it, he was overjoyed, and almost had a warm hug with the officials of Xifu, and then said loudly: "Xu He is a great victory!" ”

After finishing speaking, without waiting for Zhang Qixian and them to read the recital, they hurried to the palace with the recital.

Zhao Kuangyi was also overjoyed after seeing it, and then said, "What does Li Jilong want?" ”

"I don't know."

"I'm worried that he will be complacent because of his two victories, after all, there are not many troops on the front line, and if he goes deep into the enemy's territory, there may be an accident."

It's possible.

Song Jiu was meditating, this could not be delayed either, the music was delivered by fast feet, and its speed should be guaranteed to reach at least five hundred miles a day, and if you change people and rides, it may be faster, but it will not grow wings and fly. Therefore, it takes at least four days to go back and forth.

If it is delayed any longer, the Liao side will be prepared.

While thinking about it, he said: "Your Majesty, it has been different since then. ”

These two battles are of great significance, and no matter what the final harvest is, Jeruxiugo can be regarded as completely pulling down the altar.

Not only pulled down the altar, but pulled it neatly and neatly, the two victories were fought with less, and Yelu Hugo was defeated, the first battle was a hard regret battle, the second battle was a strategic battle, and they were all the best field battles of the Liao soldiers to defeat him alive.

Yelu Hugo once became a nightmare of the Song Dynasty.

Without this person, the Liao State would never be so terrible again.

And there was another man, Jerod. But he is much inferior to Jeruxiugo. Except for them. Who else can do it in Liao? If it works, it will have come to the fore by now.

After this battle. Gradually, the casualty figures of both sides were equalized.

Everyone in Liao is a soldier, but if it is drawn to a certain point, can Liao bear it? Then another question ensues, that is, can Liao afford to compete with the population base and the recovery speed of the people?

It's been different ever since!

If Song Jiu is not in a hurry and slowly merges the northwest so that it will no longer be a burden to the Song Dynasty, so as to add more cavalry, then the Liao State will usher in a terrible nightmare.

Zhao Kuangyi also thought of this. Then asked Song Jiu: "What do you think?" ”

"In the opinion of the minister, it is better to be safe. For the time being, he did not regain Li Jilong's power, let him concentrate his forces, cross Yishui, and recover Yizhou, but instead of recovering it, he continued to transfer the people of Yizhou to the rear. Then cross the Juma River, close to Qigou Pass or Zhuozhou. Where to arrive, let Li Jilong decide depending on the situation. The number of troops is also determined by him. But it doesn't have to be a full cavalry. After attracting the remaining Liao army in Youzhou, the three routes of Cangzhou were sent together, just because there was a shortage of grain in the north, and the imperial court used many ships to transport grain to the front line. Let them cross the Juma River with these grain boats, and advance three to forty miles, and not go deeper. Whoever is deeply held accountable. Then they burned all the houses and property and forced them to move to our court. Then all of them were withdrawn. Don't stay long. ”

Song Jiu's practice was similar to that of Liao.

But it cannot be said that the Song Dynasty was cruel, and the captured soldiers and civilians of the Song Dynasty were escorted to the rear. He became a slave of various tribes, and lived in a cold region, and life was worse than death.

However, no matter what means the people of the Song Dynasty migrated, even the people of the various tribes who rebelled with Li Jiqian, once they were arranged to the rear, as long as they kept to themselves, they all regarded them as their own people, and even after they began to migrate to the localities, they built houses, provided them with food and farm tools, and some of the cultivated animals.

It is much more benevolent and righteous.

Its practical intention is very simple, that is, to weaken the strength of the other party and reduce the number of people on the other side.

Song Jiu said hatefully: "The north bank of the Hutuo River will make the Liao State an idle field, and the minister will also make the southern area of Youzhou in the Liao State an idle field." ”

"I'm in the picture." Zhao Kuangyi said with a smile.

But in this way, it is equivalent to putting a tight spell on Li Jilong, and he is not afraid of his nonsense. So Zhao Kuangyi was gracious, but he personally wrote this edict with strict wording. After all, there are too few troops, which makes people feel bottomless.

Back in the Privy Council, Song Jiu began to prepare.

He was waiting for this victory, which would allow him to do a lot.

The good news came out one after another, Pan Li'er was worried, she was afraid that her husband would have an accident, but now she was afraid that her son-in-law would have an accident, and she ran to Xiangguo Temple every day to burn incense and worship Buddha.

But this battle was a glorious victory.

From the Xu River to the Juma River, the Song army has been in pursuit.

More than 13,000 Liao soldiers were killed, several generals were killed, and more than 4,000 prisoners of war were captured, and the actual number of prisoners of war was even larger, but because of the ferocity of the Liao army, the front-line soldiers were resentful, and some prisoners were still beheaded by the Song army soldiers although they surrendered.

But the actual death toll of the Liao army will be higher, and many people fell into the Xu River and drowned, which cannot be counted. There are also those who fled into the mountains and forests or fell into swamps and lakes and died, and it is impossible to count. It is possible that the soldiers and horses brought by Jeruxiu were lost by nearly sixty percent.

Because it was a rout, the cattle and sheep weapons and armor brought by them were captured by the Song army again, and nearly 10,000 war horses were obtained again. Li Jilong ordered the three armies to rest for a while, and then entered Yizhou again with the heavy grain and grass of the Liao army.

The Liao State guard of Yizhou heard that the Song army was coming with a great victory because of the lack of troops, and hurriedly fled to Youzhou with his men, but let Yin Jilun and Jing Si catch up, leaving hundreds of corpses and fleeing. The Song army slowly crossed the Juma River, and on behalf of Zhao Kuangyi, Li Jilong on behalf of Zhao Kuangyi on the Juma River, mourned the officers and soldiers who died in the battle of Qigou Pass. Then he slowly marched to Zhuozhou.

Yelu Hugo was poor, so he had to go out with his wounds, and there were no soldiers in his hands, let alone fun, so he had to come up with his harassment tactics. However, on the Eastern Front, groups of Song troops also crossed the Juma River and began to forcibly relocate the people.

Yelu Hugo sent his general Yelu Guli to Yongqing to snipe, but Yelu Guli encountered two other killing gods, Zhang Ning and Yang Si. The two attacked one east and one west, defeated Yeluguri in an instant, and fled to Youzhou with nearly a thousand corpses.

However, Li Jilong was very sober and accepted it when he saw it, and it didn't last long, only more than ten days. More than 6,000 families migrated before and after, but more than 1,000 households were the people of the Song Dynasty in Yizhou. Then slowly retreated. The people are not about how many, compared to the millions of people in the Song Dynasty. This is really nothing to the people. But as Song Jiu wished, the southern part of Youzhou was close to the Juma River. It really became an idle field.

Then continue to leave Yizhou, the truth can even be understood by Zhao Kuangyi immediately. After this battle, maybe Xiao Yanyan will go crazy again, originally the Song Dynasty did not have a lot of troops in the north, and it was impossible to count on such a big victory every time. If the battle line is longer, the troops will be more dispersed, at least the place in Guanbei may send snacks to the Liao State. It is better to continue to compress the forces in Kannan and maintain a greater advantage.

In fact, Song Jiu overestimated the Liao army's endurance.

After the war, the troops of Youzhou of Liao were temporarily empty, and his subordinates were defeated several times. Although it was only a small setback, Yelu Hugo himself was seriously injured and could not lead the troops for a long time, resulting in some prisoners of war held in Youzhou being able to escape, and the general Sun Chongkhan brought back a news from the Liao State, saying that the battle of Xu He made the Liao State angry, and even when he heard Yin Jilun's name, he did not know what to borrow. Call it the black-faced king.

In this battle, the god of war Yelu Hugo finally returned to his original form, and he also beat his heart cold, and wrote to Xiao Yanyan that Yan Min was tired. Provincial service, compassion for orphans and widows, and no offense against the Song Dynasty. The Song Dynasty can no longer be attacked. If the fight continues, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses of the Liao State will be wiped out.

Therefore, Song Jiu was very puzzled.

He did so much. It is definitely much better than in history, but I saw that the soldiers of the Song Dynasty were not afraid of death. There should also be some outstanding achievements in history, why did the Song Dynasty be scandalized to that extent from the history books of experts to the textbooks?

This made him very confused, and the economic prosperity and cultural prosperity of the Song Dynasty were quite attractive to the surrounding areas, just as he heard that some Japanese women deliberately borrowed seeds from the Song people, including the Fanzi in Qinzhou. The Han people are good at planting.

Song Jiu just thought it was funny, it was 10,000 steps laughing at 50 steps, not 50 steps laughing at 100 steps. After thinking about it, he didn't think about it, this big victory could allow him to do a lot of things. First invited his in-laws Zhang Quhua, as well as Xu Xuan and other courtiers with good writing, and gave them military reports of battles.

Zhang Quhua was puzzled, and Song Jiu said: "Everyone, I want to use your hands to write the brave deeds of our soldiers in these battles into dew grass, and spread them to all counties in various states and counties to inspire the people's hearts and morale." In particular, Li Jilong once said, the country humiliates the king and humiliates the ministers and deserves death, Yin Jilun said, I would rather be a loyal and righteous ghost than a Hudi ghost, and Yang Ye once said that the country is the most important, and the family is second. ”

Zhang Quhua and others understood, this is Song Jiu's coercion of the momentum of the big victory to inspire the people, otherwise there have been several failures in the past two years, the morale of the people across the country is low, and some people are even ashamed of being soldiers.

And it is also a good opportunity to promote everyone's patriotism and loyalty.

This kind of thing has to be done, and the emperor will like it.

So these literary masters took the pen one by one and pondered, and after a while began to write.

None of them are bad, and according to the military reports given to them by Song Jiu, the articles describe the battles vividly, which is heartwarming and tear-jerking.

Song Jiu found officials and craftsmen to print them, and then spread them at the gates of various prefectures and counties.

However, it was not enough, Song Jiu found some storytellers, sealed and pasted some confidential information, and then gave them materials and asked them to write stories one by one, and talk and sing them in the market tiles.

Zhao Kuangyi was curious at first, then looked at these dew grasses, smiled silently, and tossed by Song Jiu, it is a good thing, let the people and soldiers be loyal to themselves and love this country, if it weren't for the numbness of some words in it, he would feel embarrassed, and even take the initiative to reward Song Jiu for doing a good job.

This is the first step.

The effect is remarkable, as the articles on the grass are being sung, and the novels in the tiles are being sung everywhere, many ordinary people enthusiastically sign up and ask to join the army. Some ordinary people took the initiative to take out their goods, cattle and sheep, and went to the barracks to reward the soldiers.

Song Jiu struck the iron hot, and also wrote an article on Lucao, who is the most lovely person, but the soldiers of the Great Song Dynasty, they used their blood to forge the safety of the Great Song Dynasty, protect the people of the Great Song Dynasty from violation, and maintain the dignity of His Majesty. But it was not written well, and in desperation, he asked his in-law Zhang Quhua to help, which made Pan Li'er funny, what kind of civil official are you?

But don't underestimate Song Jiu's seeming nonsense this time, the people's hearts across the country are highly cohesive in an instant, and the front-line soldiers are also proud. In Cui Han's words, he was a soldier of the Song Dynasty, and he had never lived so dignified. Fortunately, otherwise, if it goes on like before, the officers and men of the three armies will have no temper, so can they still fight?

Song Jiu did the second thing, first inviting Zhao Kuangyi to go to the Hezhou Arena to see Keju.

Zhao Kuangyi is inexplicable.

Song Jiu said solemnly: "Your Majesty, after watching a juju, the minister will say something very important. ”

Kemari is also a good thing, it brings joy to the people, it brings income to the country, and it is also teaching everyone to cooperate with each other in disguise.

Zhao Kuangyi came to the arena with some important ministers.

If it is not for the defeat of the army, it should be said that Zhao Kuangyi has done a good job in internal governance over the years, for example, a bucket of beans is only worth ten cents, if you compare the prices of later generations, you can't compare with the price of grain, it is very unfair, there are cloth prices, silk prices, gold and silver prices, salt prices, tea prices, livestock prices, meat prices, vegetable prices, at this time, a penny will be equivalent to five cents later, or even a little more. The bucket is a unit of volume, but the density of beans and rice is about the same, that is, a pound of beans is now only four cents a few cents. Regardless of whether the peasants are suffering because of the low price of grain, at least everyone will have no problem with food and clothing. In fact, if it weren't for Song Jiu's regulation and control in the Sansi Division, Jiangnan Lingnan and Jinghu Jianghuai are now engaged in water conservancy development, and many polders are staged in advance, then grain prices will be even cheaper.

There is only one exception, Bashu, that is, Song Jiu is the ruler of the country, if it weren't for the country's need for peace, Song Jiu thought about the actions of those powerful lords in Bashu, and he couldn't wait for Wang Shun and Li Xiaobo to appear earlier.

It was the incomparably dark Bashu.

Except for the place where the sun is shaded by a greedy and terrible bloodsucking worm, the internal governance of other regions can be regarded as acceptable, from Jiangnan to Jianghuai, from Jinghu to Guangnan, from Guanzhong to Jingdongxi, and even the Lingwu Dingnan area has gradually returned to calm, only the people of Hedong and Hebei have been traumatized by the war.

However, because of the defeat, the people eventually complained.

Now that he has won, and he has won so brilliantly, he also knows that there are so many tragic stories behind the Dao, not only the prime minister does not want to die, but even the emperor does not want to die Standing under the arrows and commanding in person, what are you complaining about.

Therefore, when I saw the jade chariot coming out, rows of people fell down the mountain and shouted long live, and suddenly there was a huge shout from the crowd: "I'd rather be a loyal and righteous ghost than a Hudi ghost!" ”

"The country humiliates the king, humiliates the subjects, and the people die!"

Zhao Kuangyi was very proud and asked, "Song Qing, is this what you arranged?" ”

Song Jiu shook his head and said, "No, it has nothing to do with the ministers. ”

Kou Zhun happened to be standing behind him, thinking to himself, is it really okay? This made him have the same idea as Lu Mengzheng, Duke Song, the emperor treats you so seriously, you should dare to speak, so that you can do more for the country. There's still a little bit less backbone.

In fact, if that were the case, nothing would be done. For example, if you don't use some means, can you do it well? Such as something to be done soon...... (To be continued......)
