Chapter 1044: The Southern Expedition and the Northern Expedition—Let's Conquer

From Dingzhou where Yelu Yanxi stationed in Dingzhou, he had to pass through Qizhou, and he had to cross three rivers: Nanyishui, Mudao River and Hutuo River. If, according to the previous arrangements of the Hebei Xuanfu Department, three generals and a large number of regiment training will be drawn from Baozhou, Guangxin Army and Ansu Army to strengthen the defense of Nanyishui and Hutuo River. You can place the troops of one general in Shenzhou and southern Qizhou. Because the Guangxin Army and Ansu Army have both expanded their capacity and increased the full capacity to 80%. A general has 4,000 combat soldiers, about 3,000 auxiliary soldiers, and more group training will be added, and there will be almost 10,000 people. It is not enough to fight in the wild, but it is enough to build a village based on rivers to defend.

However, the orders of the Hebei Xuanfu Department under the leadership of Wu Haogu were only a few generals directly under the Xuanfu Department. The Cangzhou (including Jiezhou) regiment training, the sea naval warship fleet, the Maritime and Anti-smuggling fleet and other departments would obey, and other troops would simply take it. After Wu Haogu's Hebei Xuanfu was dismissed, no one took this arrangement seriously.

The similar arrangement made by General Xu later was also unable to be implemented due to the opposition of Ye Zuqia, the composure envoy of Gaoyang Pass Road. Ye Zuqia was a general who was responsible for defending the land, so of course he refused to hand over one of the only two generals in his hand to General Xu. Moreover, the name of Xuanfusi was not easy to use in Wu Haogu's hands, and it was not useful when he was in Xu.

Xu Jiang is a civil servant, Ye Zuqia is also a civil servant, Xu Jiang is the top scholar, Ye Zuqia is also the top scholar, Xu Jiang is a cadre general of the new party, and Ye Zuqia is also a general in the new party. Who is afraid of whom?

So in mid-August of the third year of Daguan, the Liao army, with the Feixiong Army as the pioneer, was able to break through Puyin, the empty military force of Qizhou. Then, he used the captured ships near Puyin to build a floating bridge and easily crossed the Nanyishui River. Three days later, he crossed the unguarded Mudao River and captured Anping County under the jurisdiction of Shenzhou. Two days later, the vanguard of the Liao army crossed the Hutuo River, occupied the unguarded Shulu County and Wuqiang County, and surrounded Jing'an City, the Shou County of Shenzhou, which had only a few regiments to guard. It was only a dozen miles away from the river flowing north on the Yellow River!

When the news reached Daming Mansion, the city was panicked immediately!

At this time, Daming Mansion was a refugee camp for Hebei officials and gentry. From July to now, the Khitans have been taking over their homes and officials and gentry from the office have been taken by boats and cars, and come in groups. When they arrive at Ji Yi and Xu Generals cry or apologize. Ji Yi and Xu Generals have no choice but to put their spirits on and comfort them one by one. Who has always made the Song Dynasty relax?

Not to mention those officials and gentry who have no responsibility to defend their territory, even if they are the parents of the people of one state and one county, they will not be a crime of beheading them. They will be the only one who is the elderly in Haizhou!

During this period, the real estate business run by Pingjiang Ji Family in JD.com has really made a fortune!

Besides, the crime of losing territory cannot be allowed to be borne by those prefectures and county officials. What is wrong with them? They have no troops to command, and there is no time to form a regiment training. Even the city has not had time to repair, and the Liao people rushed in like a tide.

Staying in the capital is nothing more than hanging up and jumping into a well and repaying the emperor's kindness with one life.

Ji Yi and Xu didn't want to see this. After all, Daming Mansion City is very weak. If there is a day when the troops are at the city, they may have to escape!

In addition to entertaining and relocating these fleeing officials and gentry, Ji Yi and Xu also had to work hard to organize this group of loose sand. They had one plan, and now they had to unite the officials and gentry in Hebei, and then organize a group training with them as the core to work with the Khitans!

In the past few days, we have to settle them and select available people from them as the core of the group training. We also have to contact the gentry and wealthy families in Daming Prefecture, let them pay for them, and urge Jiehe Shang City, Jingdong Shang City to quickly transport weapons, equipment, horses, bricks and other supplies, and report the situation here to the court. Ji Yi and Fatty Ji were so tired that they lost a lot of weight! Xu Jiang was old and even looked at him with stars, and almost fainted yesterday.

This morning, the unlucky military eunuch Tan Zhen also arrived. He was supposed to be a hero, but he was inexplicably dismissed by Zhao Ji and was punished when he went back. However, he was still surrounded by hundreds of people, mostly the useful soldiers Wu Haogu helped him recruit in Jiehe Shang City, and now he is protecting him back to Beijing. There are also some imperial guards brought by Tan Zhen from Kaifeng Prefecture. He originally wanted to benefit from it and transfer one or two officials, but now he is in trouble. He has made contributions, but he still has to be punished. They are all listless.

But in Ji Yi's eyes, these people are treasures, and they are effective for officers. The utility of them is also the famous Jiehe mercenaries!

So Ji Yi didn't act like a civil servant, and ran away and hosted Tan Zhen himself, and then spoke with him. What he said was inseparable from one thing, forming a Daming Mansion Group Training!

Now Ji Yi and Xu Jiang are rich and famous, and there are not shortages of strong men, but there are no officers who can lead the team.

When he was informing the arrival of the crowd in Jing'an City, Ji Yi was talking to Tan Zhen with the benefit of organizing a group training, and then he heard footsteps outside the house staggered. Before the people arrived, the voice had already arrived. It was Ji Yi's confidant, a nephew named Ji Qing, or a student from the Law School of Gezhi University. He was unable to pass the Jinshi, so he followed his uncle to write a good word.

"Uncle Eight, Uncle Eight, Shenzhou urgently reported! The Khitan army has reached the city of Shenzhou, only a dozen miles away from the Yellow River!"

When Ji Yi heard this bad news, she shook her head and sighed.

"Official, look... the soldiers are almost coming to the city! But there is not even a new battalion of troops in Daming Prefecture! If you are willing to stay, a dispatch of troops from Daming Prefecture will always be able to protect me."

To be honest, Tan Zhen was unwilling to go back to Kaifeng Mansion in shame. He was a slave to the official family, and his life, death, honor and disgrace were all in the minds of the official family. The official family favored him, and no matter how corrupt it was, it would be fine. If one day the official family would not believe him, haha, those censors would be waiting to attack him, the out-of-favor eunuch!

Staying in Daming Mansion and organizing a group training with the support of Ji Yi and Xu General, two important civil officials, is a good way out. At least it can be used by the officials, so those censors will not bite him to death!

Isn’t Wu Haogu still supporting a big market now? Although there are also dangers under the chassis, the airs are still not falling, right?

"Okay!" Tan Zhen emphasized, "Let's stay in Daming Mansion to help! But our family has a condition."

"Conditions? What conditions?"

"You and Mr. Xu must submit a memorial together and ask the official to lead the army in person!"

"What!?" Ji Yi was startled, "The emperor personally commanded the army? Grand official, do you take it seriously?"

Tan Zhen smiled bitterly and shook his head, "The officials dare not come... but if you claim it, you can scare Yelu Yanxi!"

"That's right." Ji Yi nodded, "A family went to look for Master Xu immediately and discussed with him how to write the memorial to ask the official family to personally enlist in Daming Mansion."

"No, no, it's not personally storming Daming Mansion." Tan Zhen shook his head, "but it's personally storming Jiezhou."

"Personally seek the Jiezhou?"

"Yes!" Tan Zhen nodded and said, "Hebei is not in Daming Mansion, but in Xijin Mansion! The Khitan has 300 miles of Daming Mansion, and it is not as soon as possible to reach the city. If you want to attack the city, you don't know when it will take place. And the Hejian camp of Wuhaogu is now placed under the city of Xijin Mansion... you can attack the city at any time! If Yelu Yanxi learned that the official family was going to personally lead the six armies to attack Yanyun in the north, would he dare to continue to go south to Daming Mansion?"

"Okay! OK!" Ji Yi slapped, "It's a clever plan!" He stood up suddenly, "The official will go and prepare for the memorial with Mr. Xu!"

...

Before Ji Yi and Xu General's memorials were sent to Kaifeng Prefecture, Zhao Ji was already angry. He was cursing in the Chongzheng Hall of Qionglin Palace. He scolded Wu Haogu, Ji Yi, and Li Gang... He thought they were pillars of the country, but he didn't expect that they were all treacherous officials!

Ji Yi and Li Gang were robbers overseas, which ruined the reputation of the Song Dynasty. The emperor who owned all over the world was simply a One Piece, which was really a laughing at the world.

Wu Haogu is even worse. He knew that Zhao Ji meant to make him stolen the country, but he wanted to send a fleet to Liaodong to grab food! And there was also a grand reason why people regard food as the most!

Well, in the Song Dynasty, the prosperous era, the people had no food to send a fleet out to grab it!

From ancient times to the present, is there such a prosperous era in the world? Which country has become so powerful that it is to rob food and feed the people?

"Report to Your Majesty," Cai Jing submitted a serious memorial, "As far as I know, when the Roman people in the West were at its peak, they robbed food from the Egyptian state of Afiliga for many years..."

"You!" Zhao Ji glared at Cai Jing, "Can my dignified Heavenly Kingdom compare with the barbarian country in the West?"

"Your Majesty," Cai Jing said, "The art of war has long been said to be 'food for the enemy'. If Wu Haogu could grab 3 million stones of grain from the Liao people, it would be equivalent to saving 3 million stones for the court. Moreover, sending troops to Liaodong can also disrupt the rear of the Liao Kingdom, and it can force the Liao lord to return to rescue."

Cai Jing was actually cursing Wu Haogu in his heart, but he had no choice but to let Wu Haogu fall. Because once Wu Haogu falls, the war will be impossible. Maybe Yelu Yanxi can really reach Kaifeng Prefecture City, and then it will not be a few million yuan to pay, but a question of whether the Song Dynasty will destroy its country.

While he was talking, a Guanmen Xuanzan came to report to Su Mai, the chief minister of the Ministry of Justice and the direct scholar of the Privy Council (Su Dongpo's eldest son, who had returned from his filial piety after he returned to work as an official) asked for a visit.

"Xuan!" Zhao Ji only said one word.
