Chapter 688

After finally spending fifteen days of happy time in Huanzhou, Wang Daren slapped his butt and said goodbye to Su Dongpo. He led his family and arrived in Yanzhou first under the protection of twenty-two personal soldiers and two hundred elite cavalry sent by Zhe Keshi.

After settling his family in Yanzhou, Wang Yang then rushed straight to Hongzhou. He needed to arrive in Hongzhou and was about to set off for the Hedong Road strategic appeasement envoy Han Zhongyan.

"I finally waited until you came, sit down quickly, how about it? Not long after the newlyweds, I will start to run around and get tired, are you exhausted?" Han Zhongyan signaled Wang Yang to sit down, and looked at Wang Yang with a smile.

This guy is indeed a young man. After more than ten days of his wedding, he has been running around here again, and he is still so energetic that Old Master Han has to sigh that it is so good to be young.

"It's okay, I have nothing to do these days, but I'm a little idle." Wang Yang replied with a smile. While the two were chatting, Zhe Keshi and Master Zong, and Master Zong and his brother rushed over.

Wang Yang quickly stood up to greet him. After greetings, the few people sat down again. Han Zhongyan cleared his throat and his expression became much more serious. "General Zhong, let's talk about the current situation of the surrendered soldiers."

Zhong Shidao stood up, cleared his throat and said, "After we selected the best and eliminated the inferior, 60,000 of the nearly 100,000 surrendered soldiers were left, and a total of 38,762 people were eliminated."

"Among these people, there are about 15,734 people who have grazing experience and are willing to accept the transfer of positions to the official pastures that our Song Dynasty became in these three states, and the remaining 23,028 people will be reorganized into the wing soldiers."

"Half of the 30,000 surrendered soldiers who were reorganized will join Han Xianggong into Hedong Road after they will join forces with Hedong Roadside Army and stationed on Hedong Road."

"The other half, Mr. Su, said in his previous letter that 15,000 of them were left to Lord Xiao Wang, and the other 15,000 went south to Huanzhou, and then mixed with our Shaanxi Roadside Army, and guarded Shaanxi Road."

"As for the surrendered generals, Li Mao, Liang Shou, Liang Zuo, and Huwen, whom Xiao Wang had proposed earlier, will stay in the three states. Some of the surrendered generals will follow Mr. Han to Hedong Road, and some will follow the surrendered soldiers to the south and go to Su Xueshi's command to obey..."

"And Yan, You and Hong, together with the surrendered troops, a total of 50,000 troops were stationed, including 35,000 infantry and 15,000 cavalry..."

Zhong Shidao introduced nearly two incense sticks, and then introduced the situation. Then Zhe Keshi spoke. Now in Youzhou, it is Zhong Shihe, who is Zhong Shidao's younger brother.

The garrison general who was stationed in Hongzhou was Huang, the chief reinforcement commander Huang Shouxin who led troops to help Hongdezhai. As for Yanzhou, Zhe Keshi was stationed in person.

The distribution of the army is that each of the three states is 10,000 people, and then 5,000 infantry will be distributed in the villages and forts of the three states. Among the other 15,000 cavalry, 3,000 stationed in Youzhou and 2,000 stationed in Hongzhou. The remaining 10,000 elite cavalry are used as mobile forces, but generally, they are stationed in Yanzhou.

After all, compared with Youzhou and Hongzhou, Yanzhou, the only salt-producing area in the northwest of the Song Dynasty, was much more important, and Yanzhou was only 500 miles away from Xingqing Prefecture, so Yanzhou will inevitably be the most important attack point for the Xixia attack in the future.

Naturally, Yanzhou will also be the seat of Wang Yang, the governor of the Three Prefectures, and it will also be the residence of the Three Prefectures' defense envoy.

After discussing for a long time, Gun Han cleared his throat and spoke about the situation of these three states, which was about the people of Xia who remained after the Song Dynasty seized these three states.

After the Song Dynasty seized the land of these three states, it was natural that the people of Xia who could not escape were now living in panic.

The current three states have left all industries and the people have lived in poverty. If the Song Dynasty had not been for the purpose of rule, rather than for the sake of thousands of miles of land, I would have probably been the people of these three states have long been everywhere.

Although the army of Song State did not dare to say that it was completely unjust, the military discipline was strict and it was to manage these places well after taking over. Therefore, after taking over the three states, it almost did not disturb the people, and even issued notices of peace to the people.

But the problem is that about 65% of the three states are Dangxiang people, another half is the French tribe, and about 20% are Han people.

The Song State was of course Han people, so among the people of the three states who had not had time to escape, the Han people had the best attitude towards the Song army and were the first to adapt, but the Fan tribes and the Dangxiang people were different.

Even some unwilling Dangxiang people and the Fan tribe were secretly connected. If they had not discovered any abnormal movements for the time being, and now they can be regarded as people under the rule of the Song Dynasty, the troops stationed in various states would want to pick some slutty guys first to kill chickens and monkeys.

After introducing this, Han Zhongqiu smiled at Wang Yang with some relief. "...It's a pity that I have never encountered such a thing, and there is no good solution. It seems that next, I can only look at your political methods, Mr. Wang."

Well, why does this old guy look like he is scammering? Wang Yang kept an awkward but polite smile, and couldn't help but complain in his heart.

My scalp was also faintly numb. It seemed that my burden was really heavy. However, I didn’t know if my joint letter from me and others had been to the court. If I arrived, I hope I could pass it. In this way, I could manage these three states.

Otherwise, in these places where the majority of the people of the Xia Kingdom are, if they want to return completely, there is no way to do so after three or five years. The problem is that if I have so much time to be my close sister or Uncle Jieyou?

Just when Wang Yang was filled with emotion with emotion, someone came to report that the emperor's messenger had just arrived in Hongzhou and had an urgent letter of 800 miles to be handed over to Wang Yang.

Hearing this, everyone in the hall couldn't help but brow, and Guardian Han also stood up. Soon, the messenger covered in smoke and dust and frost on his face bowed to Wang Yang, respectfully took the wooden box with feathers from his back and handed it to Wang Yang.

Wang Yang sued, picked up the wooden box and walked aside, opened it, took out the letter from the Emperor Song Dynasty inside and read it carefully.

After a short while, Wang Yang read the letter that was shocked and frowned. Han Zhongguo and others looked at each other, but if the content of the letter that the emperor wrote to Wang Yang was written separately, it would be difficult to ask.

However, Wang Yang thanked the messenger and asked him to rest first. After taking the letter, he walked to Han Zhongyan and others with the letter. "Bei Liao and Xixia are very good at calculating. Please read Han Xiang..."
