As Kou Zhun and Wang Dan talked, letting Liu An lead troops north and take back the Great Wall defense line would be a huge profit for the Song Dynasty.

Just looking at the present, the transportation team sent the grain directly to Yunneizhou, which was enough to prove that Liu An had already controlled it. Otherwise, the food sent by this would not be a sheep entering the tiger's mouth.

Then, the Great Wall defense line.

Wang Dan was relieved, but at least he seemed to win now.

The first time the Song Dynasty attacked Youzhou was a straight-up battle, which was from Henan to Zhending attacking Youzhou, and the front line eventually surrounded Youzhou.

The second time the Great Song Dynasty attacked Youzhou was a start-up, and it also started from Dai County, Dingzhou and Bazhou.

Dai County is led by Pan Mei.

Dingzhou was led by Mi Xin.

Bazhou is led by Cao Bin.

As for why he was defeated, the emperor had no responsibility. So whoever took the blame depends on who was not lucky.

The main force of the Song army died in battle of more than 200,000.

It can be said that almost all the elite troops of the Song Dynasty were lost in this battle.

At this time, the emperor sitting on the imperial throne began to have an idea in his heart, that is, to fight in person. But he was also afraid that if he was defeated in person, he would probably never dare to mention Fengshan again in his life.

Or Liu An fights first and then fights himself when he feels he will win?

After thinking about it, the emperor finally spoke: "Transfer to the uncle of Taiguo."

The uncle of Taiguo, Li Jilong.

Li Jilong has been handing over military power for a long time. Although he planned the Northern Expedition, he still has no military power.

So who should the military supervisor choose?

The emperor was struggling again.

Kou Zhun?

No, the emperor also knows who Kou Zhun is, a good official, a loyal minister, and a good minister, but he is too strong.

Wang Danzhu has been with him for too long, so what if he can't do it during the war?

Lu Mengzheng could not leave Beijing, and Li Wen relied on Lu Mengzheng to take charge of the government after Li Wen.

Although Xiang Minzhong was already a husband, the emperor had other plans for him, hoping that Xiang Minzhong would go west secretly to ensure the stability of the west of the Song Dynasty during the war, and the northwest is now worry-free, so the southwest can suppress the situation.

Xiang Minzhong is the most suitable candidate.

Then, there is only one choice.

The emperor spoke: "Duke Lu, I think Secretary Zhang can supervise the Northern Expedition."

Lu Mengzheng stepped forward: "I think it's appropriate."

"Then choose the auspicious day and send troops." After the emperor said that, he stood up and prepared to leave.

Kou Zhun stepped forward: "The official family needs a large-scale commander of the army in the Northern Expedition."

"I know."

"The official family, the Privy Council of the Grand Commander Army has no right to issue an order."

Tiger Talisman is also divided into levels. Take the three imperial guards as an example. There are nine and a half tiger Talismans in total, and the rest are kept in the Privy Council. There are also half tiger Talismans in each prefecture and military prefecture, and there are many half tiger Talismans in the palace.

Most of them are kept in the Privy Council.

There are four pieces in the hands of the emperor, three of which are the soldiers of the Sanyasi, the army tiger talismans of the Masansi, which are the most elite imperial guards. There is also the tiger talisman for the Grand Marshal, which is the tiger talisman needed for the commander of the army that Kou Zhun asked for. It can mobilize the provincial capital and many army units of different ranks.

The emperor who was about to leave stopped and said to Kou Zhun: "There are six tiger talismans in the hands of Liu Zhengjian of the Secretariat, namely the Qingyuan Army Tiger Talisman, the Dai County Tiger Talisman, the Dingzhou Tiger Talisman, the Busi Army Tiger Talisman, the Ma Si Shang Army Tiger Talisman, and the Grand Marshal Tiger Talisman. The Grand Marshal Tiger Talisman that Kou Xiang wants is not in my hands."

The whole court suddenly became quiet.

Not to mention Wang Dan and others, even Kou Zhun felt incredible.

Liu An took the other five pieces and was a scumbag, and no one cared about it at all, but why was the Great Marshal's Tiger Talisman in Liu An's hands?

Kou Zhun couldn't help but look at Li Jilong.

Li Jilong smiled indifferently.

He was not surprised at all.

Compared to him, Li Jilong, the emperor believed in Liu An more. Li Jilong's prestige in the army was too high, so high that the emperor had to force him to hand over the military power and go home to rest.

The emperor would rather hand over the tiger talisman to Liu An, who had no foundation or connections in the court, than to hand it over to him, than to give it to him, who was only eighteen years old.

Li Jilong understands.

General!

It's just so untrusted.

Although there was no Grand Marshal's Tiger Talisman, Li Jilong still got seven tiger Talismans, which could mobilize enough troops of 200,000.

Speaking of Datong City.

Gao Qiong fought three consecutive games, and did not lose or win. It can only be said that the defensive side took advantage of such a small advantage. Then he retreated to Datong City.

At this time, Datong City is not a miscellaneous army guarding the city.

Two-thirds of the main force are in Datong City, one-fifth of the total number of miscellaneous soldiers is in Datong City, and the rest go to comb the west of Datong City according to Liu An's order.

Then the passage from Datong City to Shuozhou was protected by heavy troops.

For Datong City, Shuozhou is behind, and Liu An asked the comb to prevent anyone from following the Liao army and going around behind Datong City.

Standing on the wall of Datong City, Liu An looked at the Liao army camp that could not see at a distance.

Gao Qiong put on her armor and went up to Liu An's side: "I just learned two news."

"Please speak with Mr. Gao."

"On the day before I arrived in Datong City, the Chinese-style nobleman who was killed was the son of the current Queen Mother Liao's real sister."

Liu An turned his head and said, "Who exploded?"

"It's hard to say. At that time, at least four hundred tigers were squatting upwards and they were all aimed at him. I don't know who succeeded in the end. I just heard the news from the small school where the prisoners of war had just heard the news. It was blown into a pile of rotten meat, and there was no name on the shell."

Liu An nodded: "Tell me the order to reward the tiger with one thousand stakes, five hundred kilograms of meat, and ten jars of wine."

"Get orders."

Gao Qiong would not say much about rewards of this level, killing important enemy officials is worthy of reward.

Pan Luozhi also came up at this time and took a few steps to the side of Gao Qiong: "General Gao, I will be entrusted to come and thank you."

"Thank you?" Gao Qiong didn't know what was going on.

Pan Luozhi explained: "When you go east, General Gao transferred all the Song army back to Datong to fight the powerful enemy, and gave them the opportunity to make a fortune. They said thank you very much and turned around and asked them to give you 100,000 sheep and 50,000 guan to thank you."

"Ah, you're welcome." Gao Qiong didn't think about this at all.

Gao Qiong knew that Liu An's arrangement was to ensure that there were no worries in the battle between Datong, so he sent people to attack counties, towns, and villages, and then went north to clear out the tribes of the Liao people.

But in Pan Luozhi's eyes, the fierce battle with Gao Qiong came up, giving them this easy opportunity to earn a lot of rewards. This must be thankful.

Gao Qiong pointed in front of him again: "The one who fought in front of him was a powerful person."

"who?"

Gao Qiong did not answer, and Taijun She, who was wearing military armor and covered with face, said: "Xiao Talin!"

Gao Qiong then added: "This is a famous general from Liao. Since General Yang was defeated by him that year, he has been attacking the Song front line. In recent years, he has captured and injured more than ten good generals of the Song Dynasty, and captured Bao, Ding, Ying and other prefectures. He did not expect to meet him."
