Chapter 291: Gaiden
"Your Majesty, Liaozhou has always been a hidden danger of the empire in the north, and the king of Liao has always refused to hand over the military power of Northern Liao to be a free prince, and this time the joint Goryeo and Beijin will be able to solve this Northern Liao matter once and for all." Qi Guogong said loudly.
"By no means, Your Majesty. Northern Liao is the barrier of the Great Gold in the north of my Great Xia, and if the Northern Liao is lost, my Great Xia will face the country of tigers and wolves! Isn't the lesson of the Battle of Jinju enough? Hu Wenzheng said urgently.
"Do you know how much money and food we have spent on guarding against Daliao over the years?" Qi Guogong said. "Do you know that the Qi family's control of Jinzhou's choke point has cut us off from the northern countries, which have not paid tribute to the empire on time for more than a hundred years."
"Your Majesty, Princess Anguo used some means to deprive Northern Liao of the right to govern, for more than 20 years, our officials have governed the four counties of Northern Liao, although most of the money and grain taxes are still in the hands of his Qi family, but if we withdraw those officials at this time, it will inevitably make them chaotic for a while, at this time, the three parties sent troops to hum ......" Qi Guogong sneered.
"It's pig-like logic." The old minister pulled his beard and laughed secretly.

Liaodong, Liaowangfu.
In another month, the prince's wedding will be held, and the attendants and maids in the palace are happily tidying up the palace, and there are joyful scenery everywhere. The gates of the palace were constantly filled with celebratory people coming and going.
"This disciple is finally in charge, and the world is peaceful." A guest whispered as he went out.
In the autumn of the ninth year of Anping in Great Xia, Liaodong, Jianzhou County, Montenegro.
Qi Yu accompanied his uncle to ride a horse to Dingjun Ridge, which was surrounded by a large area of fertile land, and busy farmers could be seen everywhere, a peaceful and happy prosperous scene.
"I'm going to Jingshi, let's take a look at the scenery of my hometown." Looking at the scene under the ridge, Qi Feng said leisurely.
"Hmm." Qi Yu looked at his uncle and responded, "It's so beautiful, who would know that twenty-five years ago this was a hellish killing battlefield on earth." ”
"This used to be the sad ridge of my Great Liao, and it is also the Dingjun Ridge of my Great Liao......" Qi Feng got off his horse and grabbed a handful of soil on the ground, let go of his palm and let the wind blow the dust in his hand......
"Uncle......" Qi Yu looked at Qi Feng.
"Huh...... I just want to tell you that no matter how carefully you plan, it's your luck that determines the ultimate success or failure...... Hehe...... It's like the bloody battle twenty-five years ago. Qi Feng looked at the blue sky, and his thoughts had returned to forty-four years ago...... "That year, Beijin broke through my Da Liao in order to repay the shame of Jinzhou, and the old commander was caught off guard by being surrounded under this ridge, and the army was always in danger of collapsing...... Fortunately, in the end, the old handsome man took advantage of the blizzard to fight his way out of the encirclement to protect this last legion for my Daliao...... Hey......"
"Uncle......" Qi Yu got off his horse and came behind Qi Feng, "I thought that my uncle's resentment against Great Xia had faded over the years......
"Huh...... There are many things that you will never forget...... But this is all the business of the previous generation, it is not your generation's business, I am very happy that you can accompany me today, can you let go of the resentment in your heart, and help your aunt govern this splendid world for the people of my Great Xia? Qi Feng looked at Qi Yu expectantly.
"I will. I will let go of the festival in my heart like my uncle did and give everything I have for the people of Great Xia. Qi Yu looked at his uncle's gaze and replied firmly.
"That's good, hahaha...... Remember that it is up to man to do things, and things are to be done in heaven, and nothing can be forced. Qi Feng smiled happily.
"I made a note of it, uncle." Qi Yu said with a smile.
"Anyway, I'm actually your uncle, you haven't been able to change your mouth for so many years." Looking at Qi Yu, Qi Feng quipped.
"I'm used to calling my uncle." Qi Yu said with a smile.......

"Sad Ridge?" Cheng Cheng stood on the ridge and looked at the lush sea of trees below the ridge.
"Yes, Sad Ridge." Qi Feng looked at the open space at the mouth of the valley under the ridge with clairvoyance, "The old handsome man and tens of thousands of troops fought their way out of the encirclement here. ”
"Where are you going to put the first line of musket infantry?" The map was spread out on the ground.
"Two hundred yards of high ground in front of the canyon." Qi Feng held up his clairvoyance and said.
Cheng Cheng marked the map, "What about the second line?" Muskets? Or cannons? ”
"Musket infantry, a hundred yards behind the line."
"So, do I think the artillery regiment is on that hill?" Cheng Cheng looked at the hill not far away and pointed with a pen.
"Yes, a town of heavy spear infantry and a short-fire cavalry battalion are arranged under the mountain, no, a ranger cavalry battalion is deployed." Qi Feng said. "A thousand steps and a swarm of rocket regiments are placed on the hill here, and the deployment under the mountain is the same as that of the artillery regiment."
"Well, I made a note of it." Cheng Cheng took the note and wrote it down.
"Arrange mortar artillery regiments at the back of the valley. The cavalry legions hid in a sea of trees on both sides of the valley. The 38,000 men of the main force of the town formed a formation one mile behind the valley, and the 29,000 guerrilla troops spread out in the middle and high ground of the valley. Qi Feng put down his clairvoyance and sat down beside Cheng Cheng, pointing to the map and said.
"It's as simple as that?" Cheng Cheng looked at Qi Feng beside him suspiciously.
"It's as simple as that. God will take care of the rest. Qi Feng chewed a grass root in his mouth and lay on his back on the grass, looking up at the blue sky.
"What if it rains? It's almost the rainy season now......" Cheng Cheng also learned from Qi Feng and lay on his back on the grass, and said leisurely, "If it rains, muskets and cannons can't be fired." ”
Qi Feng turned his head sideways and looked at Cheng Cheng in surprise for a moment, and then said dissatisfiedly: "Crow's mouth." ”
"Cut, kindly remind you that you don't know the hearts of good people." Cheng Cheng gave him a blank look. "You haven't said where to put the camp in this town?"
"Right here, on Sad Ridge, under us." Qi Feng said as he looked at his delicate face blankly.
"It's an unlucky name, let's change it." Cheng Cheng pinched Qi Feng's nose shyly, "Don't look at me like this, I don't feel tired of watching it every day." ”
"Huh...... Never get tired. Qi Feng grabbed the slippery little hand that was pinching his nose and smiled.
"It's called Dingjunling, and the first battle will set the country ......," Cheng Cheng said.
"Dingjunling ......," Qi Feng said faintly.
Five days later, Liaodong, Liaowangfu, South Study.
In a wargaming formation on the sand table, he played the role of the coach of Beijin. Doctor Fang shook the feather fan with great admiration and looked at the calm layout, "The prince has really picked up a treasure." ”
"There's a question, how can you be sure I'm going to attack in this direction?" The monk looked at the sand table and said.
