In the end, Song Jiu didn't say it.

After saying a polite word, Song Jiu went back to rest.

Zhao Kuangyi began to appease the people and asked Liu Jiyuan to send people to surrender those officials and generals who continued to resist.

At this time, Pan Mei suddenly said: "Your Majesty, I heard that Taiyuan has a royal aura in the city. I hope your Majesty will move Taiyuan City to the east of the Fen River."

"Father-in-law, this is a bit inappropriate." Song Jiu said.

Everyone looked at the father-in-law and son-in-law strangely.

"Xiao Jiu, what's wrong?"

"Taiyuan has become the city of our dynasty, and Hedong has also become the Hedong of our dynasty. It is also an important gate for the country in the future. If it moves east of the Fen River, once the foreign enemy successfully moves south, there is no danger to defend."

The nature is completely different across the Fen River.

In Hexi, Taiyuan City is surrounded by mountains in the north and west, with swamps and depressions to the south and Fen River to the east, so it is easy to defend and difficult to attack. However, when moved to Hedong, it is a pool of plains and licorice, which will become the same as Kaifeng City.

Pan Mei said: "That's true, but with this city here, the people may never be willing to accept it. Your Majesty is kind and does not kill the people. If someone bewitches people's hearts, what if something changes, can you afford it?"

Song Jiu couldn't make a sound anymore.

The Northern Han army was not very combat-effective, but strangely, these soldiers were not good at other places, but once they entered Taiyuan City, they were like drinking chicken blood, or there was a high priest in the city showing the barbarian totem, which was still durable.

Just like this time, more than 100,000 troops fought bravely and fought hard for more than a month before they captured Taiyuan.

What Song Jiu didn't know was that Ruoye didn't have any other promotion, weapons, and economy. This time it took more than two months to capture Taiyuan.

Of course, there is no high priest in the city, nor the so-called royal aura. The reason for this is that Taiyuan City has become a spiritual symbol of the people of the Northern Han Dynasty. If you force yourself to dissuade me, if something happens, you will be sad.

After pondering, he agreed to his father-in-law's approach.

After all, if there is no military strength, the city will not be strong. Just like Kaifeng, the city is not weak, and because Youzhou is in the hands of the Khitans, Zhao Kuangyin planted trees outside the city to prevent the Khitans from heading south. Wasn’t it finally broken by the Jin people?

Zhao Kuangyi was even more afraid of this royal aura, so he agreed with Pan Mei's opinion.

The military and civilians began to build a new city.

But Song Jiu found Pan Mei again.

It’s okay to build a new city, Pan Mei changed the street from the shape of the “well” to the shape of the “T”.

It's okay in normal times, at most it extends the distance in disguise, but it will have big problems when defending. Streets with tic-tac signs are all horizontal and vertical streets, and in wartime, it can use the shortest time to transfer troops and supplies to critical places. War horses can also run wildly.

But T-shaped streets are different, which not only makes the distance longer than half, but is not conducive to the horse's running. This will further reduce the defense ability.

So Song Jiu said: "My father-in-law cannot do this. If this is the case, it is better not to build a city wall. Taiyuan is close to the Hu people, and the country is prosperous and declining, and once it is at a low point. The Hu people go south and with Taiyuan City, it can become an important gateway. But if Taiyuan is lost, the Hu army can easily reach Luoyang and the capital. The descendants will suffer."

Pan Mei hesitated.

Song Jiu advised again: "Father-in-law, you are afraid that the king's aura will be there. I understand how to move the city, but it is too much."

Finally adopted by Pan Mei.

It was just a small matter, and the army slowly retreated. But it did not go from Luzhou, but climbed over the Taihang Mountains and arrived at Zhenzhou.

Song Jiu felt something was wrong. Zhao Kuangyi began to gather all the generals in Zhenzhou, including Cao Bin, Pan Mei, Cui Yanjin, Li Hanqiong, Liu Yu, Mi Xin, Tian Chongjin, Song Wei, Song Jiu, Zhao Yanmei, Zhao Dezhao and others.

Zhao Kuangyi said, "I want to attack the Khitan."

Everyone was obviously disappointed and took down the Northern Han Dynasty. Zhao Kuangyi did not mention the reward at all, but wanted to touch the tiger's butt, so they were silent.

Song Jiu sat down at the lower head, and he could understand Zhao Kuangyi's psychology. He took Taiyuan and did what his elder brother and Chai Rong did not do. His confidence was highly expanded, so he changed the plan.

but……

After thinking about it, he stood up and said, "Your Majesty, you have been attacking Taiyuan City for more than a month, fighting bloody battles every day, then assisting the people in building a new city, climbing the Taihang Mountains, the weather is hot and the soldiers are tired, and they fight against Yi Chengshi Lao's army again. Besides, Taiyuan has made contributions, Your Majesty has not yet rewarded him, and I am worried that the soldiers below will be unhappy."

There was an opportunity to get rich, which was to break through the city and plunder it. Although Taiyuan was poor and it was the capital of a country, under Zhao Kuangyi's control, everyone got almost nothing.

As soon as Song Jiu finished speaking, Cui Han said, "This matter cannot be taken into consideration again. Taking advantage of this unstoppable momentum, the Khitan is not prepared. It is very easy to obtain, so it cannot be lost at the right time."

"Cui Qing said this very well. Song Qing, I also know that the soldiers were a little tired. This is why I don't reward them. Once the reward is carried out, the soldiers will lose their motivation and have no intention of fighting. If the soldiers recover their strength, the Khitan side will also have precautions, and it will be even more difficult to take back Youzhou. When the Khitan envoy met me, I said, "I sent troops to Taiyuan. If the Khitan abide by the peace agreement, I forgive them. Otherwise, there will be war. Song Qing will not say anything."

Of course, it is a good thing to have this courage, but it took three generations of efforts to fight a Taiyuan City. Youzhou is also tall and solid, not much worse than Taiyuan. Moreover, behind it is not the Northern Han Dynasty, but the powerful Khitan. The speed of the troops is high, but it cannot be used in Youzhou.

After fighting until now, he has built a new Taiyuan City, climbed a Taihang Mountain, arrived in Zhenzhou, and then fought again. How could the soldiers not be tired? Then he will become a real army of fatigue.

However, at this time Pan Mei was staring at him fiercely.

Song Jiu was still unwilling to give up, and Zhao Kuangyi shouted again: "After you get Long, look to Shu again!"

It is a derogatory term for gaining a long time to look for Shu in later generations, describing people's hearts, but at this time it is a positive term. Liu Xiu led his troops to pacify the northwest, and his general Cen Peng and Wu Han general Wei Xiang surrounded the west city, and Gongsun Shu in Sichuan sent troops to rescue him. Liu Yuliugaiyan and Geng Luoyan led their troops to surround him, and wrote to Cen Peng that if they captured two cities, they could lead their troops south to attack Shu. The people were suffering but not satisfied. They were both pacified and looked at Shu. Every time they sent troops, their heads and beards were white.

There is another source: Cao Cao took Zhang Lu, and Sima Yi advised that Liu Bei captured Liu Zhang with force and deception. The Shu people went to fight for Jiangling before they decided. This opportunity should not be missed. Cao Cao said that people were suffering from dissatisfaction and had already won Long and were looking for Shu. In the end, they did not listen, which led to regret in the end.

One was eager to see Shu, and his ambitiousness led to great achievements, while the other was eager to see Shu, and the other was desperate to see Shu. In the end, Hanzhong was defeated and the Three Kingdoms were divided.

Song Jiu couldn't make a sound anymore.

Otherwise, if the Song army was defeated in the future, Zhao Kuangyi would blame him for losing the opportunity because of his advice.

Pan Mei was winking again on the other side.

Song Jiu said: "As like that, nowadays, the food and silk are exhausted. If you fight in Youzhou, you must transport a large amount of food, grass, materials and weapons. Escort to the front line. This must be familiar with the terrain there, and there must be a general to help in order to prevent the Youzhou people from hijacking the supply. I beg Yang Ye to help him."

"allow."

After the ministers were about to disperse, Pan Mei pulled Song Jiu aside and said, "Your Majesty has made up his mind. Why do you want to be unhappy with Your Majesty?"

"Father-in-law, what chance do you think you have of winning this time?"

"No matter what the outcome is, what does it have to do with you? See who has opposed it. You are a literati. Don't you know the story of Tian Feng, a counselor under Yuan Shao?"

"Your Majesty is not Yuan Shao."

"Your Majesty is not Yuan Shao, but can you convince Your Majesty? If the morale of the three armies is shaken because of your forced advice, can you bear the consequences? If you lose, someone will hold you accountable. If you win, it will be a joke."

"That's right..." Song Jiu saw a thin old man appearing in front of his eyes, and he was stunned for a moment.

"And Guo Jin..."

"Father-in-law, how did Guo Jin die?" Song Jiu guessed that Guo Jin would die, but the specific details are still unclear. But Pan Mei, as the top official of the military, may not be unaware of it.

"Guo Jin is brave and powerful. Apart from Tian Qinzuo, there are a few who can compete with him, but Guo Jin can't bear it. In fact, after passing this level, he will be able to have a broad range of things and Lao Guo has not passed."

Song Jiu finally understood, is it necessary to have the military talent of the military supervisor to be comparable to that of the chief general? If so, what military capabilities does Wang Qiong have? The reason why Tian Qinzuo, who can be used to be a military supervisor was that Zhao Kuangyi was worried about Guo Jin. Guo Jin did not understand at first, and when he came back from Baima Mountain, he felt dissatisfied with Tian Qinzuo. So he sued the emperor. Zhao Kuangyi made a small punishment, but continued to let Tian Qinzuo be his guard. At this time, Lao Guo vaguely understood.

Still Tian Qinzuo was still provoking Guo Jin. Guo Jin said a few words, Tian Qinzuo exposed the truth, and Zhao Kuangyi was worried. What else would Guo Jin end up, so he committed suicide in despair.

Guo Jin made great contributions and suffered a tragic end. How do other generals think?

So even though he knew that it was impossible, no one dared to advise and dissuade him. Even Song Jiu shouted out the voices of these generals, no one dared to agree.

"Father-in-law, with this mentality, do you think you can win Youzhou?"

"Who knows."

"If it's a failure, is there any way to reduce the loss?"

"Are you defeated? The defeat is like a mountain of fall. Who has the ability to reduce losses?"

"Father-in-law, you know, this army has been through the battlefield for a long time now, and it is a powerful force. If it perishes and the country loses its elite, how can the country bear the consequences?"

"Xiaojiu, don't say anything more. Your Majesty wants to fight, he can only fight to the death, win, not lose. Fortunately, the spies on the front line come back to report that although there are 100,000 troops in Youzhou, they are not too prepared."

"Can you win, you can't lose?"

Song Jiu returned to the big tent and found a map.

As I looked, I suddenly saw the three words Gao Lianghe.

Zhao Kuangyi, no matter what Song Jiu thought, decided to liberate Youzhou, continued to dispatch troops. It turned out that when he attacked Taiyuan, he dispatched 100,000 troops and 100,000 archers. All the 200,000 troops moved to Zhenzhou, and then transferred tens of thousands of reserve troops from Hedong and Hebei East, almost approaching 300,000.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyi did have ambitions regardless of his talent or not, including the imperial examination last year, and the palace examination titled "Successful Fu without Formation" and "Looking on the Martial Arts Platform to Watch the War Theory".

Moreover, in the past twenty years, since Zhao Kuangyin's military was reorganized, tall and burly young people have been selected from all over the country to join the imperial guards. After years of civil war, Song Jiu's reform eliminated some thin, sick and disabled soldiers. If it were not for the exhausted army, the combat effectiveness of this army should not be underestimated.

Zhao Kuangyi rested in Zhenzhou for thirteen days and summoned an army of 300,000 to gather, but on this day, Pan Mei's caution was verified.

On the first day of the Northern Expedition, the generals should come to Qi to take the oath. But when they set out, Zhao Kuangyi found that there were still generals who had not come to report. He was very angry and wanted to set up military law and beheaded the public. It was Zhao Yanpu, the head of the cavalry and infantry army, and persuaded him: "Your Majesty is patrolling the border, and it is because of the foreign invaders. Now the enemy has not been destroyed and the soldiers are killed. If you plan to carry out the next step, who will work hard for Your Majesty?"

Will the soldiers be happy if they have not rewarded the merits of taking Taiyuan, but they want to kill people?

Zhao Kuangyi obeyed.
