In Hejian Prefecture, in front of the new Hebei Road border military commander's yamen, Liu Ji stood up with the generals to welcome the arrival of Zhang Ji and Dou Shunqing.

This is the first commander to be established according to the new Privy Council and the Three Ya mechanism. It is not under the jurisdiction of the local government and is directly under the Privy Council. In addition to the Liu Ji headquarters, there are also two armies of Zhang Ji and Dou Shunqing.

We welcomed the two and a group of generals, entered the yamen, and sat down at the official hall.

Liu Jidao: "It's October now, and it's winter. The army has not yet completed its deployment, and the Shufu has been urging it very strictly. Today, we call you all to come, and Shang Liang is stationed on Hebei Road and various matters."

Not long after Zhang Ji's first army arrived at Hebei Road, there were still some troops on the road. After hearing Liu Ji's words, he said, "Taiwei, our army has been transferred from the Western Regions. I don't know the military situation of Hebei Road. How to resettle it, please ask the commander to show me."

Liu Ji ordered people to hang the map of the area connecting Hebei Road and the Khitan, saying: "Dou Shunqing's troops stationed in Zhending Prefecture and Dingzhou, stationed along the newly built railway line. From the Yuanshi County in the south to Wangdu County, there were no troops and horses 50 miles away from the railway, and handed over to the local area. Zhang Ji's troops stationed in Baozhou, Guangxin Army, Ansu Army, Shun'an Army and Xiongzhou, were stationed in various important places. Our troops stationed in Mozhou and Hejian Prefecture."

The generals crossed their hands and obeyed.

Dou Shunqing said: "Zhending Mansion also needs to guard against the roads in the mountains. But this year, it seems that only Zhuozhou and Yizhou may have Khitans going south. I dare to ask the Taiwei, will this still be the case in the future?"

Liu Jidao: "Supervisor will spy on the Khitan military situation. If there are changes, it will be rescheduled. This year, the Khitan did not order troops and would not go south. The most likely is the Zhuozhou area, where the Khitans gather thousands to 10,000 to 20,000 people and come across the river. The court attaches great importance to this matter, and we must protect our orders properly. If there are Khitans coming, they will not be able to return!"

When Zhang Ji first arrived, he didn't know the situation in this area, so he heard it and said, "We have more than 100,000 soldiers and tens of thousands of Khitans to attack, how can we get the advantage!"

Liu Ji sighed: "Taiwei, this matter is not that simple. The court meant that it was not ready to go to war with the Khitan now, so we would better not cross the border. If thousands of Khitan cavalry suddenly crossed the river while the cold weather was cold, how could there be time to fight? When we order the troops and horses, they robbed them and went back. At that time, the Khitans came south and were not hurt at all, and their arrogance would definitely be arrogant."

Dou Shunqing said: "It is difficult to cross the border, to guard against the Khitan attack."

Zhang Ji, the old man Yu, naturally knew that for the cavalry, it would be easy and easy to move dozens of miles a day. If the Khitans gathered secretly on the border and suddenly marched, it would be very difficult to defend. Speaking of which, this is the rogue's style of playing, but what can I do?

Liu Jidao: "East to Bazhou, there are swamps and ponds, and there are basically no households. Even if the Khitans go south, there will be no big trouble. The Khitans know this. They have never gone southeast of Bazhou. So the east of Bazhou is handed over to local inspections, and we don't care. The east of Bazhou is from Beiping on the mountain to Bazhou, which is about 200 miles away, which is our defense. The General Secretary will pay close attention to the Khitan. Once there are police, you must concentrate your troops in the shortest time and surround the enemy with the fastest speed."
