Although the main force of the Liao army had been defeated, the war was not completely over.

Whether it is the rout of the Liao army or the post-war defense, it needs to be carefully arranged.

It's just that Cao Bin and the others don't have time anymore.

What's worse is that the deployment of soldiers and horses in Hebei has long been demoted by the emperor.

The emperor is in good fashion, and Cao Bin is temporarily the commander of the soldiers and horses, so he can temporarily control the soldiers and horses in Hebei.

But after the emperor left, no new commander was appointed, and if Cao Bin also left it, who would these soldiers listen to?

The state guards do not control each other, and I am afraid that they will fall into a mess.

Not to mention clearing the remnants of the defeated generals and improving the defense, even Waqiao Pass was also occupied by the Liao, and it was difficult to recover.

Once the truce is stopped and the negotiation stage begins, it will be difficult to return to Waqiao Pass.

"How's the war going on with General Zongbao?"

Cao Bin asked while waiting for his subordinates to summon the soldiers.

When Mu Guiying heard this, her eyes couldn't help but light up, and she said:

"Are you going to recommend Zong Bao to deploy for the Hebei Soldiers and Horses?"

Although Cao Bin did not have the right to appoint such high-ranking officials, he could recommend them to the emperor.

Yang Zongbao also had the opportunity to temporarily control the soldiers and horses of Hebei.

The Yang family always has to avoid suspicion, but Cao Bin's identity is very suitable.

He was now the commander of the army, and if he proposed him to the emperor, the emperor would most likely agree.

If he holds this position, not to mention being promoted to a knighthood, Yang Zongbao himself will be much safer.

With the right to mobilize Hebei soldiers and horses, his restrictions will be greatly reduced, and there will be basically no worries about the shortage of troops and major generals.

So he hurriedly said:

"Zong Bao should be attacking Waqiao Pass."

Cao Bin nodded and said:

"If General Zongbao can recover Waqiao Pass, Cao will immediately ask the official family for instructions."

Mu Guiying glanced at Cao Bin with some gratitude, and said:

"In this way, Gui Ying will thank you for Zongbao."

Cao Bin laughed:

"Then Cao is waiting for Hun Tianbo's thank you....... However, General Yang must take back the Waqiao Pass, otherwise I will not touch His Majesty's mold. ”

Mu Guiying rolled her eyes and said speechlessly:

"Don't worry, Gui Ying is not a person who doesn't repay his kindness."

This man is realistic.

At the same time, she secretly decided that she must send a letter urging Yang Zongbao to recover Waqiao Pass no matter what.

It's a rare opportunity.

Cao Bin was also helpless, he didn't want to get involved in this matter, but the emperor left in a hurry, and he couldn't directly pick on the affairs of Hebei and let it be messed up.

If there is an accident after he leaves, the court will probably hold him responsible.

Rather than this, it is better to throw this hot position out as soon as possible, and who will be responsible for the accident at that time has nothing to do with him.

Among the guards in Zhuzhou County, Hebei, Yang Zongbao is the most reliable, and his qualifications are sufficient, so he is a very suitable candidate.

As he spoke, nearly 40,000 soldiers had been assembled.

In the first battle of Dingzhou, although 80,000 horses and horses of the Liao State were defeated, the Song army itself suffered many casualties.

That's all that remains.

There was no time to think about anything else, so Mu Guiying led 20,000 foot soldiers to march normally, and Cao Bin himself led 8,000 Praetorian Guards cavalry to chase after the Holy Driver first.

After all, there are still more than 20,000 people and horses of Xiao Gulu cruising in the rear, eyeing each other.

The emperor had no problem taking the city, and once he marched out of the city, he was given the opportunity to raid.

The Great Song Dynasty was ruled by literati, and Cao Bin now has no faction, and his biggest backer is the emperor.

If the emperor died, he would lose the most.

doesn't have enough strength, prestige and heritage, just one Zaifu can handle him.

Therefore, whether it is from personal feelings or from his own future, the emperor must not have an accident.

If there is a way out, he does not want to take the last step......

South of Zhending, near Luancheng.

Numerous Praetorian guards were escorting the holy car at full speed.

Although the emperor was very anxious and kept urging, the speed still did not improve much.

After all, there is a mixture of infantry and horses, and there are many honor guard vehicles, so it is better to march lightly.

What's more, there is also Concubine Pan on the rear step.

She was pregnant, and during the period of caution, the emperor did not let her ride the carriage with him.

lest you have an accident with your own blood.

At this time, Pan Renmei was driving a horse to follow Bu Yuan, and when she saw Concubine Pan's pale face, she asked with concern:

"Niangniang, are you uncomfortable?"

Concubine Pan shook her head and said:

"Dad, I'm fine, I'm just a little worried about the situation in Jingzhong."

Pan Renmei shook her head and said:

"Don't worry about Niangniang, we have elite soldiers and horses in hand, and those people can't set off the storm."

As he spoke, he said with a cold light in his eyes:

"They are really so bold, thinking that when the old man is not there, they can win over the generals and act recklessly?"

"When I go back, let's see who dares to blow up the stab with the old man!"

He is also a veteran commander who has led the army for decades, and he has brought out countless generals, and he has the confidence to say this.

In the past, he might have considered taking sides, but if his daughter was pregnant with a dragon, whoever dared to covet the throne would be like poking his lungs.

Hearing such domineering words, Concubine Pan suddenly felt much more at ease, nodded and said:

"That's it......"

Pan Renmei comforted in a low voice:

"You can raise the fetus with peace of mind, you don't have to think about anything else, with a father, you will let this child ascend to the throne."

Concubine Pan was taken aback, quickly looked around, and said in a low voice:

"Dad, don't talk nonsense, if the daughter is not a boy in the womb......."

Pan Renmei shook her head disappreciatively and said:

"Believe in Daddy's eyes, this must be a boy!"

"Besides, isn't Cao Bin here? That kid's 'Qi Practice' is also very good, and he really made His Majesty's Iron Tree bloom. ”

"If this pregnancy fails, ask him for help again, even if you give him more benefits, it will not hurt."

As he spoke, he muttered to himself again:

"The old man didn't expect that this kid Cao Bin would use soldiers so sharply, and he didn't pay enough attention to him, so he might have offended a little."

"In the future, we will change our strategy, win him over, and it will be much safer to earn a big position with him as a knife."

Concubine Pan was stunned for a moment and said:

"What do you mean by Daddy?"

Pan explained:

"We fought against the Liao State, and there were few winners, so that ordinary soldiers were afraid of Liao."

"Cao Bin is sure to win every battle, and he has repeatedly defeated the Liao soldiers, which shows the wonder of his use of troops."

"That's it, his guards are invincible, and his people are even more brave."

"This is the key to the court dispute, if he escorts the mother and son, at least he is not afraid of someone forcing the palace to make trouble."

Concubine Pan nodded thoughtfully, sighed and said:

"My daughter has known him for a long time, and I thought that no matter how much he grows, he will not be able to escape the flow of squirting and anointing."

"I didn't expect it to be more and more out now, it's a pity for my younger brother......"

As she spoke, her eyes lit up and she said:

"Didn't my brother make friends with him, why didn't my father call him back and follow Cao Bin to practice?"

"Maybe my brother will change."

Hearing her mention Pan Leopard, Pan Renmei's mood instantly became bad:

"Don't be the rebellious son in front of your father, let him die in Yanmen Pass!"
