Chapter 250 Yongzhen Mountains and Rivers

"King, the peace talks between the two countries should be a temporary truce."

Zhang Hao said with a smile.

"Peace talks are the affairs of the imperial court, the war is my business, and I am not controlled by the Ministry of Rites, I am under the command of the Privy Council, as long as the Privy Council does not give me the order to stop marching, then I have to keep fighting, and it is common sense to promote peace by fighting.

I see that you are also a reader, how can you not even understand such a simple truth? ”

Wang Yue said.

"How can we make a temporary truce for the king?"

Zhang Hao asked very dryly.

"Didn't I say that you have to have a military order from the Privy Council, why do you ask this question again?"

Wang Yueyi said rhetorically.

"King, our army has been fighting for many days, but we should take a temporary rest, after all, it is now deep winter, this place is cold and snowy, and the brothers are also very tired."

Ma Kuo said.

"Well, there's some truth to that."

Wang Yue said immediately.

As he spoke, he and Ma Kuo looked at Zhang Hao together......

"King, my Majesty the Emperor Dajin is willing to reward your ministry with 500,000 taels of silver, and reward your soldiers with 10,000 heads of cattle and sheep to show the sincerity of the peace talks, but these will take some time to arrive, in order to avoid more casualties of innocent athletes in the Song and Jin countries, please wait here for the time being."

Zhang Hao said.

"Double it again!"

Wang Yue said.

"Yes!"

Zhang Hao gritted his teeth and said.

"Ah, that's fine, I'll just say, the reader is the most sensible."

Wang Yue said with satisfaction.

"The king, it's just that our kingdom treats the king with sincerity, I don't know why the king shows the sincerity of our kingdom?"

Zhang Hao said.

What he means is that we can give silver to cattle and sheep, but how can you promise not to turn around and continue to beat us? Anyway, now that you have the final say, we can't beat you, and there is no obstacle in front of you, what if you collect silver and cattle and sheep here, and continue to beat us when you turn around? We have to trust each other, and even after this talk, I turn around and go back, but you follow me and attack us?

You've got to come up with something practical.

"This is easy, send the order to start withdrawing the army, with 10,000 cavalry and young men without horses, to escort those old and weak women and children to withdraw to Liaoyang first!"

Wang Yue said to Dou Cheng.

The latter immediately saluted and left.

Here is 800 miles away from Liaoyang, at the speed of these old and weak women and children, it takes almost 20 days to walk, as for the food along the way, don't worry, after cleaning those Haoqiang, the harvested grain and livestock are enough to sustain them from here to Liaoyang, those Haoqiang along the way have no courage to stop, 10,000 cavalry, plus tens of thousands of men with weapons in their hands, Haoqiang along the way really don't have the courage.

The Jurchens were even more powerless, and this trip cleaned up the last remaining young man.

And it is impossible for Sticky Han and the others to rush back before they reach Liaoyang, which is more than 2,000 miles away from Liaoyang, but in fact, because they have to go through the mountains, the real distance will not be less than 2,005. The most likely route for them is to take Zhangjiakou to Yuanyang Bo and then go to Jingpeng Pass, where they will follow the Xilamulun River to Linhuang, and then insert this side diagonally to rescue, and will not go to Liaoyang to intercept it.

The safety of these people is fine.

The real problem is how they should spend the next long winter in Liaoyang, but fortunately, at this time, Ruan Xiaoqi is still constantly transporting grain to Lushun, which should be enough.

At this time, it is only the Siping area that has really entered the cold winter, but Lushunkou and Dalian Port will not be frozen.

You can even take them all from there to Shandong, and then if you want to go to Hebei, you can go to Hebei, and if you want to be in Shandong, you can still take them to Hebei, which is densely populated and doesn't have so much wasteland to settle them in.

But Hebei is different.

In particular, the area at the junction of Song and Liao was originally reclaimable wasteland.

And the next step is to drain the Great Wall of Water after it will be more, just one side of Wubo drained, there can feed all the people brought back this time, at this time Baoding is only a few thousand households, Gaoyang is also a few thousand households, even if there are no new crops in such a place, with the agricultural level of this era, it is very easy to feed tens of thousands of households. The reason why there is only such a small population, the reason is actually very simple, that is, there is an important swamp area in Wubo where the Great Wall of Water, and the north of Gaoyang and the east of Baoding are all man-made swamps.

When the water is drained, it is the best lake.

"So do you feel my sincerity?"

Wang Yue said to Zhang Hao.

"The king is really sincere!"

Zhang Hao hurriedly said to this demon who broke his father and sold his mother.

"However, I also have to give you a limit, these must be delivered within ten days, I will wait for you for ten days, if you can't deliver them within ten days, then I will attack Huining."

Wang Yue said.

"Don't worry, the king will be delivered within ten days."

Zhang Hao said.

Then he was sent aside by Wang Yue.

"Gather 10,000 cavalry, one person and two horses, you and the victorious army don't need it, stay here and take the craftsman to repair the iron furnace immediately, prepare charcoal and wait for me to come back, and then bring those camels, and want to play with me to delay the army, this is already starting to hide in the mountains, I'm afraid that there is not enough time to coax us to slow down first."

Wang Yue then said to Ma Kuo.

Indeed, this is a delaying tactic.

Huining is next to the mountainous area, since Huining itself has nothing worth defending, why should Wu Qimai stay in Huining and entangle with him, if he hides in the mountains, he can still search the mountains? That area is not a mountain, to the east can be said to be a lofty mountain, and it was originally a Jurchen settlement, maybe there is a winter land in the mountain, and he can't find it if he wants to. Since Wu Qimai doesn't need to sue for peace at all, he just needs to hide in the mountains for a month, and it is Wang Yue who is unlucky when the army of Sticky Han comes back, Wang Yue is indeed very happy to bully Wu Qimai now, but that is only because the Jurchen young and strong have gone south.

There are really 30,000 Jurchen elites, and he probably has no other choice but to run away.

Wu begging does not need to make peace.

The purpose of taking the initiative to make peace can only be a delaying tactic to buy time for the evacuation of Huining, after all, they are not the poor ghosts of the past, they can run as much as they want, and at this time they have already accumulated a lot of burden, so they have to transfer in a few days.

"And what exactly do you want to make here?"

Ma Kuo said.

"Ah, that's an important question, I'll draw it for you!"

Wang Yue said.

After saying that, he drew a pattern on the ground.

"What is this?"

Ma Kuo said blankly.

"This thing is the treasure of the demon town, all the demons and monsters under the suppression of this thing have turned into powder, there is this thing left in this land, and these messy Hulu will never be able to turn over in the future, it can be said that Yongzhen mountains and rivers, as for the size, you can just follow the height of the city wall, as for how to arrange it, it is up to you, in short, the bigger the better, at least tens of thousands of catties."

Wang Yue said.

"Aren't these just two ordinary utensils, this is an axe, but it's a bit like your axe, and this one is a bit like a hook and sickle hook knife, these two together can suppress demons and monsters, and can also forever town mountains and rivers?"

Ma Kuo said suspiciously.

"Of course, don't doubt its power, and besides, do you know this kind of fantasy thing or do I understand it?"

Wang Yue said.

Well, he's actually drawing a special sign.

Standing such a special sign on this land should be able to suppress the mess.

Even if this sign can't be suppressed, he can still use his Mo knife, in short, this is a symbol, a symbol that is completely in line with his aesthetics.

He had already talked about the fantasy level, and Ma Kuo had no choice but to shut up.

This kind of fantasy level thing, it is true that this guy has the right to speak, who called him not a mortal in the first place!

As for how to build it big enough, it is not difficult, it is nothing more than to build a few more furnaces, and then start smelting at the same time, and pour molten iron into the mold at the same time, at this time, an iron-smelting furnace can usually produce two or three thousand catties of iron, and a simple one is indeed too far away from Wang Yue's requirements. In fact, it is the ancient version of the blast furnace, this is not a high-tech, whether it is the Song and Liao is the same, even the Jurchen is like this, but the blast furnace of the Great Song Dynasty produces more, but because of coal smelting, the quality is poor, and the blast furnace of the Liao State produces two or three thousand catties, but because of the use of charcoal smelting, the quality is good, and the Jurchen blast furnace is the smallest, and it is also charcoal smelting.

But they are willing to work hard to forge, and they keep forging again and again, and it is good to squeeze out all the slag and natural quality.

All that is needed now is a few blast furnaces of the largest possible size.

However, this is still a difficult project, after all, the thing Wang Yue wants is really too big, and he has to prepare charcoal, and he has to choose the right location, and even the iron smelting furnace itself is very troublesome, although he doesn't care about the quality, but at least it can't burn and collapse.

But this is his business, anyway, Wang Yue is not interested in taking care of it, and then Wang Dawang quickly arranged for his troops to withdraw.

At this time, Zhang Hao did not leave.

He also had to see if Wang Yue really fulfilled his promise.

So then Wang Yue personally commanded 10,000 miscellaneous cavalry, with about 20,000 adult men, more than 40,000 women and children, and some men were taken south by the Jurchens, and these were added up by the entire Huanglong Mansion and Xinzhou, and some of those miscellaneous cavalry defected here. In short, they formed a huge migratory group of 70,000 people, and then pushed carts to drive cattle and ox carts, and rode donkeys and mules, etc., and walked with nothing.

Then the mighty march began to the south.

And in order to show his sincerity, Zhang Hao also sent his retinue to follow them south, mainly to convey the emperor's will to the cities that were still holding on to Dajin along the way, asking them not to attack these people.

Of course, the main thing is to see if they really evacuate like this.

He stayed in Huanglong Mansion for two days, and watched Wang Yuedu start to be idle and bored to repair the project, so he returned to Huining with satisfaction.

He didn't know that on the night he left, 10,000 cavalry also began a surprise attack on Huining......
