Dading Prefecture, Daliao Palace.

In the bedroom of Empress Xiao, a pair of infatuated men and women looked at each other silently. Today, Empress Xiao and Wu Haogu did not go anywhere, nor did they meet Su Chi and Zhao Huan, but just stayed in the bedroom. Holding a 600-li military newspaper transferred from the Tianjin Military Control Commission, he looked over and over again, but he didn't know how long he had been looking. Empress Xiao sat face to face with Wu Haogu, with pale face, red eyes and tears on his cheeks, which was so pitiful.

It was quiet inside the hall, and only the sound of paper was heard.

At the end, Wu Haogu loosened his hands and let the emergency military newspaper fall on the table. A pair of palms that became thick because of martial arts practice were covered on his face, sighing deeply: "I really miscalculated... I didn't expect that Agu would hit him and pretend to be a monkey... I did a pretty job! Not only did he take down Datong Mansion, but he also let the cute ancients stop the people from robbing people. Now the Jurchens have two very reliable allies on the grassland, and we will be in great trouble in the future..."

Empress Xiao also said in a sad and gentle voice: "... Menggu, there are at least 70,000 cavalrymen, plus the 60,000 cavalry of the Jurchens, plus the Bohai people who defected to the Jurchens and some mixed tribes, I am afraid that 170,000 elite soldiers can be pulled out! A powerful enemy! The Great Liao is over, and I am over. I am sorry for the previous emperor, and I am sorry for the ancestors of the Great Liao..."

Listening to Empress Dowager Xiao’s whining tone, Wu Haogu felt sad and tears almost fell. He didn’t understand why he was obviously a great Confucian saint, so why was Wanyan Agu so fooled as a monkey?

As soon as Datong Prefecture was lost, Wu Haogu lost before the contest between Zhou and Jin countries began!

Moreover, Aguda's troops had retreated to the north of Huanghe River, and there was no chance to find a place for Wu Haogu and Empress Xiao.

The banks of the Huang River are the southeast of the Korqin grassland, with a wide terrain and no danger to defend. It is very unfavorable for the Zhou Republic Army, which relies on mixed forces of infantry, cavalry and cannons to fight.

Moreover, the weather is getting colder now. Once winter comes, the combat effectiveness of the Han army, which is not suitable for the severe cold climate, will be severely reduced.

The Liao soldiers who fought against the Five Scrap are okay, and they have to face the Jurchen and Menggu... they are not sure!

Looking at Xiao Sesse crying, Wu Haogu could only sigh: "Sese, don't cry... And I, I won't ignore you."

Xiao Sesse had to ignore it... Wu Haogu wanted to use the Liao Kingdom and Jurchens controlled by Xiao Sesse to block the relationship, and win time for the stable development of the Great Zhou Republic.

But now this plot has been completely shattered by A Gu's attack!

The Great Liao Kingdom seems to be shattered ahead of schedule - now it seems that Xiao Sesse, the "virtuous Empress", is not as capable as Yelu Yanxi in history!

Yelu Yanxi had to hold on for many years after the Battle of Bubudagang before falling down. However, after only more than a year of perseverance, Xiao Sesse could not maintain it anymore.

However, at this time, Wu Haogu must not abandon Xiao Sesse. Because Xiao Sesse still has the Dading Mansion in his hands, at least tens of thousands of Xi people and Khitan people.

Only by firmly grasping Xiao Sesse and her strength can the Great Zhou Republic have its own grassland and grassland cavalry...

Wu Haogu took a deep breath and said to Xiao Sesse who was sobbing: "There is no need to talk to Song State. Let King Ding and Su Chi leave tomorrow."

Empress Xiao looked up in surprise: "Official..."

Wu Haogu said seriously: "Now the Great Liao is broken, all you can hold is Dading Prefecture, the Bashang Grassland, and the grassland south of the Huanghe River... Can't I still protect this territory? Sesse, you are my woman, and I will never let someone take away your territory and your subordinates again!"

Xiao Sesse opened his bright eyes wide and just looked at Wu Haogu. Wu Haogu's face was full of a firm expression and said, "Although these territory is not large, it is enough to allow the 70,000 to 80,000 tents to live and work in peace and contentment.

Let’s work together to rectify, eliminate bad policies, implement new policies, and build a new country, called the Dongliao Kingdom! It is protected by the Great Zhou Republic. Whoever dares to touch the Dongliao will fight to the end if the 300,000 iron troops of the Great Zhou Republic will fight to the end!"

Xiao Sesse looked at Wu Haogu with a complicated expression. She knew that Wu Haogu wanted to "eat" herself! The Great Liao became the Eastern Liao and became a vassal state of the Great Zhou Republic... Isn't this "eat" her strength?

Two grasslands, one mountainous area, plus seventy or eighty thousand people, and one beauty!

Wu Haogu actually made a lot of money!

"I've all listened to the officials..."

Xiao Sesse replied in a low voice.

For her, it is much better for someone to "eat" now than for no one to "eat". If there is no such powerful faction as Wu Haogu, it would be a place to die without a burial place.

So Xiao Sesse not only cannot resist, but also has to clean himself up and lie on the plate. It is best to sprinkle seasonings and let Wu Haogu enjoy it. Otherwise, he will not eat toast and be punished for wine!

Wu Hao Ancient Road: "Tomorrow, people will order 3 million silk cloths to Dading Mansion, of which 1.5 million will be rewarded to the soldiers. You can use the rest to reward people. Please give them all, don't keep any one.

In addition, I will send you food for winter, so I will not let the ministry be hungry."

Wu Haogu knew that he could not be stingy with money at this time, otherwise Empress Dowager Xiao might cause trouble. She has now lost the reputation of the virtuous queen!

So I can only spend a lot of money to win people's hearts! If I spend millions, it will be worth it as long as I can win more than one year of stability for Empress Dowager Xiao.

"I will send people to negotiate with Aguda. The Qianli Pine Forest is east of the Huanghe River. It is west of Yuanyangli, north of the grasslands in the desert, south of Yehuling, all of which have to be left to Dongliao. If he does not agree, then next spring I will send troops to capture Linhuang Mansion and Datong Mansion again!"

The territory that Wu Haogu encircled for Empress Xiao was approximately equivalent to most of the Chifeng City, most of the Tongliao City, and at least half of the Xilingol League in later generations. In terms of land area, it is probably similar to the local area of ​​Zhou.

However, most of these territories are grasslands and mountains, and only many valleys belonging to Chifeng City in later generations can be reclaimed.

Although this land is not even three percent compared to the original Daliao, it is still very valuable as long as it can be managed.

"Officialist, how do you plan to manage the future Dongliao?" Xiao Sesse still had no idea.

Wu Hao Gu Dao: "Of course, we will introduce the military system of Zhou State, and at the same time we will innovate politics."

He thought for a while, "We must break the boundaries of the tribe and distribute the ranch and land directly to the tribe's people. The leaders of the tribe can give them some money and give them some big ranch and houses. If it really doesn't work, I will pay for some rent.

The Bashang Grassland and the Korqin Grassland are very plump and can be used to settle the herds. 30,000 knights and herdsmen can be allocated to make ten families, build walls, and stay and guard.

Then we imitate the military system of the Great Zhou Dynasty and formed three cavalry divisions to let the knights and herds send troops. We all provide weapons and armor. The horses, cattle and sheep they produced can also be sold to the Great Zhou Kingdom through trade. The Eastern Liao court could receive a lot of commercial taxes.

As for the farmland in Dading Prefecture, they were allocated. They were allocated to households, and each household gave them one hundred acres and one hundred and fifty acres, so they could pay taxes and no longer need to serve in the military. With tens of thousands of farmers, it would be enough to support the Dongliao court..."

Wu Haogu really planned to spend some money to help Empress Dowager Xiao this time - except for the money that must be allocated to Empress Dowager Xiao immediately to buy people's hearts, other expenses will of course be allocated by the Senate.

It is impossible to emphasize the interests of Dongliao as a vassal state and then use the Zhou system to reform the interests of Dongliao, so it is very appropriate to pay some money!

With the territory of Dongliao and the 30,000 and a half-Architects of the grassland cavalry, the northern defense line of the Great Zhou Kingdom will become very strong and deep.

Moreover, with 30,000 cavalry households who were ordered to pasture on the grassland, the army of the Great Zhou Kingdom will have a certain grassland mobility in the future. Grassland mobility not only requires a large amount of cattle and sheep as military rations, but also requires a large number of horses for consumption.

The knights who rely on the local area of ​​Zhou Kingdom cannot provide so many cattle, sheep and horses. However, with 30,000 grassland knights, the situation is different - two grasslands cover an area of ​​at least 100,000 square kilometers! In other words, each herder has at least three square kilometers of pastures, and it should be no problem to herd three or four hundred cattle, sheep and horses. The 30,000 knights and herders can raise at least more than 10,000 livestock. With this base, tens of thousands of troops can often go deep into the grassland to fight.

Letting these herdsmen and knights live in Biwu and implement the implementation of fixed herds is not only to break the tribe and strengthen the authority of Empress Dowager Xiao's Eastern Liao court, but also to allow the Great Zhou to control the grassland!

Wu Haogu knew very well that people were lazy, like comfort and felt safe. Once these Khitan knights lived in a comfortable and safe castle, they would soon get used to the settlement life.

Once a person has settled down, it will be difficult to return to a nomadic state where he lives without a fixed place.

And their castle is just an easy target for the artillery of the Great Zhou Dynasty!

After listening to Wu Haogu's words, Xiao Sesse suddenly felt that his "official man" had already made plans? Did he have expected how many pieces of the Great Liao Dynasty would be broken?

She sighed, "It's good that I have a way out, my mother and son have finally got a way out... I feel relieved."

Wu Haogu breathed, "Se, I can't feel at ease now. Now is the most chaotic time for people! We must convene the leaders of the generals as soon as possible and give them a briefing... If anyone is willing to leave and join Yelu Dashi, give them a lot of horses and let them leave quickly.

In addition, there are still a few monks and nuns in Dading Prefecture! When the situation stabilizes, try to make them return to secular life or send them to the territory of the Jurchens. The biggest reason is that the Daliao has fallen to this point and there are too many monks. We cannot repeat the same mistakes in the future!"
