It was getting hot and pedestrians on the street became thinner.

But there was a change. With Song Jiu's promotion, the styles of clothing changed, and many styles from later generations gradually became popular with more people.

It's simple because of nothing else.

However, in the imperial city, the original clothes and all the official uniforms were in the imperial city.

Song Jiu went to the palace from the Western Palace.

Hou Zhi caused him to suffer. Zhao Pu had nothing to do with forming a clique, but he was following a dark path, which everyone knows. However, if Song Jiu had the idea of ​​forming a clique, it would be very bad. Just like Dongfang Bubai, some people might hate it and some people love it, but how many people like Yue Buqun?

Of course, the data Hou Zhi mentioned that time was not without benefits. He didn't list it. You may not have thought of it, but it was not so clear when it was listed, but when it was listed, many people couldn't help but sigh in their hearts, it turned out that Song Jiu was so amazing.

Indeed, Song Jiu did a lot of things with his golden finger and his vision that was ahead of him a thousand years.

Some Hou Zhi didn't say it.

But this is the same as what Song Jiu said to Zhao Kuangyin for the tariffs on the export-free market. It will be better if it is better, and it will be worse if it is worse. The deterioration caused by the state's military use in the north is not as simple as it seems.

No matter what, it cannot be achieved by Song Jiu's party, and this contribution cannot be expressed.

So Song Jiu almost seemed to disappear.

But time is the standard for testing the truth. Whether he has formed a clique with Hou Zhi has to let Zhao Kuangyi see.

Even today, he still doesn't want to show up.

But this time I had to go to the palace to discuss it carefully with Zhao Kuangyi.

After saluting, Zhao Kuangyi sat down and said, "Song Qing, has your mother come back?"

Song Jiu was stunned.

It took her half a day to say, "She is probably coming back soon. But she is not a minister..."

Zhao Kuangyi laughed.

Actually, this is a hint, you are too suspicious.

However, Song Jiu would not think so. Wouldn't Cao Bin see the consequences?

He said slowly: "I have to discuss with Your Majesty if I enter the palace."

"Tell me."

"Information came from Liaodong, Liao general Yelu Xizhen led 200,000 troops to attack Wu Xuanming."

"So many soldiers?" Zhao Kuangyi asked in surprise. Not only Liaodong, but also many soldiers and horses are stationed in Yanyun Liao Kingdom. In addition, the Oludo in Zhongjing Shangjing, the garrisons from other places. There are 200,000 soldiers and horses from Liao Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, everyone in Liao Kingdom is soldiers. Wu Xuanming once conquered Tokyo City. Although he was under the banner of Bohai and allowed some people to surrender, some soldiers did not do well. There were more haters. Therefore, if you just offered tens of thousands of elite cavalry and recruited from the local area, you could still draw more than 100,000 soldiers and horses, and you could get the banner of 200,000 soldiers."

This is the same as the later Liao Dynasty conquered Goryeo. It is known as 800,000 soldiers and horses, but it is actually not so many. It also includes a large number of civilians and temporary military service. The same is true in the Battle of Chibi, and the Cao army did not have 800,000 soldiers and horses, and the real number of soldiers may be only one-third.

It can only be said that everyone in the Liao Kingdom has soldiers, so they cannot use the number of troops they can use to estimate the number of troops they can use.

Song Jiu said again: "It may not be a good thing. I have taught them to build dozens of cities in Liaodong, so that they cannot use their troops to win the battle in siege. Moreover, the more northeast goes, the people are desolate and supply difficulties. So many people eat and drink will cause a headache for the Liao Kingdom and will not last long. However, the person who traveled this time was Yelu Xizhen, the general of the Liao Kingdom. This person must not be underestimated. Since he can bring so many troops over, he will definitely be sure to win the victory."

Zhao Kuangyi's face was filled with dark clouds. The boys in Liaodong were disobedient, and Zhao Kuangyi was unhappy.

But just like Jin Xiaopang later, he was disobedient, but what should I do? They must be strategically necessary, otherwise the US imperialists would be able to station their troops on the Yalu River, which would be awful.

Liaodong is a taste, not only Liaodong, but also Goryeo. Zhao Kuangyi sent envoys to come over and even gave them a lot of rewards to discuss the two countries' joint attack on the Liao Kingdom. The benefits are necessary, etiquette is also observed, and Goryeo also made some small moves on the border, but the official statement that they joined forces, but the Goryeo people were hesitant.

One thing is better to follow Song Jiu’s advice and support the Jurchens. At least they are fighting against the Khitan with real guns and swords.

So this is not good news. Wu Xuanming was destroyed, and the Song Dynasty lost one of the most important chess pieces.

Song Jiu continued, "Your Majesty, don't worry. In my opinion, Yelu Xizhen will have a great victory in this trip, but it is very difficult to capture Wura City."

It's too far away, and the supply cannot be kept up with more troops, and the supply cannot be taken down if there is less troops.

The facts are not far from what Song Jiu conjectures.

When Yelu Xizhen came in spring, he led tens of thousands of troops and then came some temporary troops from the Liaodong expedition, less than 100,000, including civilians, but he claimed to have 200,000. He rushed to Tongzhou City in a mighty manner.

This time Wu Xuanming became honest and kept his own territory and refused to do so.

Some troops were drawn from the rear, and the city was stalemate.

Actually, I got caught up from this point.

Yang Liulang may be good, but he has not grown up yet, and Shi Pu is not bad either, but he is not a first-class general, so he has not seen it.

Yelu Xizhen's army had so many troops almost bluffed. Of course, if Wu Xuanming went out of the city to fight, he would be happy. But his main function was to shock.

The south was in a feint attack, but the north sent envoys to secretly contact the tribes close to Tulubushi and Wei tribes, Tieli and others, and then sent light troops out of Jinshan, working inside and outside to capture several newly built Changchunzhou and other cities.

When the news reached Tongzhou, Wu Xuanming was very nervous.

There is no way to continue to capture the nest, otherwise the nest will be confiscated.

This is a matter of ability. If Wu Xuanming had the ability to Wanyan Aguda, he might join forces with the Song Dynasty to rise early and break up the Liao Kingdom.

Or if his ability is a little worse, he can understand Song Jiu's meaning and continue to execute faithfully. Without the defeat of Xianzhou City and repeated defeat of the Liao Kingdom's attack, the whole country may not dare to rebel.

Now Wu Xuanming is still making a mistake and wants to abandon Tongzhou City and fight back immediately.

Shi Pu and other generals found Yan Po to discuss that Tongzhou could not be defended. Once the rebels and Liao generals were taken down all the Huanglong Mansion and attacked from north to south, most of them would be lost. It would be even worse than Guan Yu's defeat, but he could not go back like this. As Yelu Xizhen chased him down, his entire army would be wiped out.

Fortunately, Wu Xuanming heard this time and threatened to return to Huanglong Mansion and seize Changchun Prefecture City. He also sent a large army to pretend to go all the way north.

And he retreated very decisively, and Yelu Xizhen then sent generals to pursue him. Once the Wu Xuanming army was successfully arrived at Huanglong Mansion, there were relatively few troops there, and some tribes were loyal to Wu Xuanming, they might take down these annoying cities again.

Yelu Xizhen will fall into a desperate stalemate.

It was not what Yelu Xizhen wanted. What he wanted was to take the opportunity to attack Wu Xuanming from north to south and eat it in one bite, otherwise even if he escaped back to Wura City, it would cause headaches in the northeast.

More than 20,000 troops were chasing for two days. Seeing that they were approaching Huanglong Mansion, they suddenly encountered an ambush and another ambush broke out from the mud in the east. The rear army turned around and turned to the south, and three ambushed troops were attacked. Yelu Xizhen was defeated. The Jurchens had a very considerable combat power. Unfortunately, they were led by a sheep.

This battle forced the rear troops to slow down to avoid being ambushed. Wu Xuanming took the opportunity to decisively evacuate the path deep in Liaodong, and let some tribes loyal to him evacuate in time and retreat to the east. Although he won a victory in the middle, all the lines from Tongzhou City to Changchun Prefecture were taken back by the Liao Kingdom. Of course, the situation was still beneficial at this time. Wu Xuanming shrank deep in Liaodong and captured a large number of people. At this time, Wu She was no longer the Wu She Kingdom at that time. It was very powerful to retreat here, and it was very difficult for the Liao Kingdom to destroy it. However, Wu Xuanming was also difficult to threaten the core area of ​​Liao Kingdom. They also gave Liao Kingdom a headache, but the situation would be much better than before. Even without taking action, Wu Xuanming could join forces with Goryeo to subvert Liaodong.

Yelu Xizhen arrived at Huanglong Mansion and disbanded the army, leaving behind a garrison to visit the tribes. He did not attack again. Although the losses were not light, it was considered to have achieved the strategic goal.

But this is now that he is stationed in Huanglong Mansion. Is there no other means in the future?

Faced with this situation, Shi Pu was very troubled. He just kept defending. He was afraid that he would be so depressed. If he attacked, he was afraid that Yelu Xizhen would have conspiracies and tricks. Even Yelu Xizhen didn't have to send troops, so Wu Xuanming and the others could not make a choice.

Shi Pu wrote a memorial to the Song Dynasty, but Song Jiu has not received it yet.

Song Jiu didn't know, but he could guess the approximate result through the cards.

"Yelu Xizhen..." Zhao Kuangyi murmured. The three of them talked about the tiger, and Song Jiu said it at least ten times, one brother and two Zhen, and Zhao Kuangyi was not a fool. Later, after thinking carefully, if there was no Yelu Xizhen cunningly preserved his strength and cooperated with Yelu Xiuge, Yelu Xiuge did not have this new force. Do you dare to lead the Immortal Army and rush to him?

"Is General Wu of my dynasty compared to him?"

"Yes, Cui Yanjin, Li Jilong, Pan Mei, Yang Ye and others may not be weaker than him. However... Emperor Wu of Han raised horses and trained troops and swept the desert. However, if there were no great victory for Wei Qing and Huo Qubing, would the Han Dynasty's plan be finally dragged down because of finance? But Wei Qing and Huo Qubing were successful, one was their military talent, and the other was their relatives, and Emperor Wu of Han trusted him, so he could achieve success. Now the Liao Kingdom is very similar. Yelu Xizhen is the brother-in-law of Empress Dowager Xiao, and Yelu Xiuge is the Khitan Yu Yue (Khitan official, above all officials). Since the founding of the Liao Kingdom, only Yelu Helu, who supported Abaonan to proclaim himself emperor, and Yelu Wuzhi, who supported Shizong ascended the throne, obtained this official position..."

"You are..."

"Your Majesty, the Liao Kingdom invaded the south before the troops were launched, and the late emperor learned that the Liao army had just arrived at the Hebei border and the late emperor had sent Tian Qinzuo to Hebei. However, the Liao Emperor passed away last autumn and did not send the news back until the end of the year."

Hedong is Pan Mei, and Song Jiu attaches more importance to intelligence work.

Why did this happen? Not only was the Liao Dynasty blocking the news, but Pan Mei didn't know the importance of scouts, but he was always in charge of the military and political affairs of Hedong, restrained too much, and took the initiative to give up power and financial power. He had no mobile money in his hand. How to resist the enemy and how to raise a spy army?

If you are going outside, the king will not give you any orders.

But the generals of the Song Dynasty were reluctant to fight, how could they fight a good battle? Just like Pan Mei was also in Youzhou in the battle of Gaoliang River, but why did she not show any performance?

But this issue was too complicated, and Song Jiu didn't want to say more. So he continued to talk about the serious matter: "Wu Xuanming hates him, but without him, it would be more difficult for us to recover Yan Yun in the future. However, we have been using Yan Yun in a hurry, and Yelu Xiuge is in Youzhou and stayed in Nanjing, and the possibility of failure will reach 90%. Therefore, I have two strategies in my mind. One strategy is to cut off the foundation of Yan Yun. Yelu Xiuge is in Youzhou, but the power in Xijing is very weak, and he was defeated by the hands of the Wang family in Fengzhou for the second time.

There are generals such as Pan Mei, Yang Ye and Li Jilong, who can send troops from Daizhou to sweep Yunshuo Yingwei, and do not seek occupation, but plunder the people. The population in East and West Hebei is sparse and empty, scattering the people in these two places, one to the capital city and the other to the east of the Hebei. At the same time, it weakens the Western Capital of Liao. If Yelu Xiuge personally sends troops to help, Pan Mei can retract back to the border and stalemate with it. Then Cui Yanjin and other generals can send troops from Hebei to plunder the people. This is the strategy of the late emperor."

The fundamental reason for this plan is that it is necessary to prevent the counterattack of the Liao Kingdom. However, under the control of Song Jiu, many forts were built on the front line, and they gradually increased their defenses, adding 30,000 township soldiers, and the front line hoarded a large amount of food and grass. Even if the Liao Kingdom went south to invade, it did not dare to go deeper.

So this plan is feasible.

Once most of the Yanyun people were captured back to Song Jiu, this important grain base and economic base would become a barren place.

Then the strength of the Liao Kingdom was weakened step by step. In addition, other plans may take Yan Yun back in the future at a very small price.
