"It's all over the grasslands in the northern desert?" Xiao Sesse attached himself, lay on Wu Haogu's back, and asked in his ear, "Does the official mean to have a few more children with my family?"

I don't know how she thought about this?

Wu Haogu laughed and said, "Se, can you really be born? If you reborn, you can't say it's the seed of Yelu Yanxi."

Xiao Sesse snorted: "As long as I defeat Aguda and recover Linhuang Mansion, even if I give ten more children to the official, no one dares to say anything!"

The strong people of the grassland nation are respected! Therefore, it is not a mistake to have children for Wu Haogu at all, and there is no need to cover up. Who dares to be dissatisfied? Let’s fight!

"Haha, that's right!" Wu Haogu laughed happily, "Se, then we have to give birth to a few more, and they will be sealed on the grassland in the future."

"Official," Xiao Sesse asked softly, "What do you mean is to send troops to help my family recover Linhuang Mansion?"

Wu Haogu smiled and said, "I don't need to send troops. Aguda is now planning to be poor, and he is building a bastion on the grassland!

He built a fort, and you also built a fortress. Let’s have a fortress against a fortress, and cannons against cannons. How much does the Jin Kingdom cost? Can it compare with us? It will cost him so much."

The tactic of building a bastion on the grassland obviously hit the key point of Aguda.

To break the bastion, you either use cannons or have a long circumference to military rations. Whether it is cannons or military rations, Aguda cannot be compared with the Dongliao where the Great Zhou was standing behind him.

Therefore, after the war came to the Korqin Grassland, Aguda did not rashly take the offensive, but built his own bastion defense system on the grassland.

On the current Korqin grassland, two almost parallel fortress lines appeared on the north bank of the Huanghe River, east of the Qianli Pine Forest. On the Dongliao side, built ten bastions in a row. Except for the earliest built Linhuang Fort, which was the Baside Fort, the other nine are small four-sided forts.

But in the absence of artillery enough to destroy the bastion, the smaller four-sided fortress is more staunch than the eight-sided fortress—a smaller fortress means that only less force and artillery is needed to keep it firmly, and the construction cost is also lower.

With overwhelming firepower, construction ability, financial resources and material resources, Wu Haogu would not risk a decisive battle with Aguda in the wild. The safest thing is to slowly block the Korqin grassland with a bastion and force Aguda away step by step.

...

"Ahem..."

Aguda coughed violently again. This was a problem he suffered when he braved the cold last winter when he entered the Korqin grassland. When it was serious, he coughed blood and his whole body became hot. The Jurchen generals who followed him thought he was going to return to the law of nature, but finally survived.

Although I survived it, the problem was not as good as it was. I still coughed after taking cold air and sometimes had a low fever.

"Du Bo Ji Lie, let's get here today. It's getting late, so let the children camp..."

Aguda's younger brother Xi also saw his brother coughing and hurriedly stepped forward to ask. His face was not good-looking, but it was not because of his brother's illness, but because of the current situation.

As a general, the most painful thing is to watch the enemy grow stronger day by day, but be helpless.

Although the Daliao, which had already fallen, has now been divided into two parts, it has not continued to weaken, but has signs of revival.

Yelu Dashi who went west, he brought a large group of 50,000 Khitans, Tatars, and Naimans to the Western Regions, which are said to be rich and weak. I don’t care about this, just go wherever he goes.

But under the leadership of Xiao Sesse, Dongliao actually grew stronger. First, it implemented the new Knight Ten Thousand House system, broke the original tribe and palace tent system, and organized the remaining people into three Knight Ten Thousand Houses and the Daning Prefecture households.

The knights served as soldiers, the people paid food, the original tribal nobles, the nobles in this tent, and the nobles in that tent all became knights who had to rely on military merit to gain wealth. Most monks and nuns who could not count were mostly secular and went to farm.

Moreover, the barriers between the Khitans, Xi people, Han people and Bohai people were all demolished, and from then on there were only a small number of royal families (only the children of Xiao Sesse and Xiao Sesse sisters, and husbands were royal families) and nationals at all levels and civilians.

After a series of reforms, the Liao people, who were originally not clean, have finally recovered and united around their "queen" Xiao Sesse. Although Xiao Sesse still calls herself the queen mother, in the eyes of most people in the East Liao Dynasty, she is already a entrepreneurial master.

The current Dongliao is completely different from the big and exhausted Daliao in the past.

The cheered Dongliao soon made the emerging Jurchens feel pressure. Although the Jurchens' cavalry could still defeat the Dongliao cavalry in the field, the Jurchens could no longer win an overwhelming victory.

This is not only because the combat effectiveness of the Dongliao cavalry has improved, but also because they began to fight on the fortress. Their cavalry troops often cruised dozens of miles away from the fortress. When they could not win in the field, they would decisively retreat to the fortress.

The troops deployed on the bastion line were not the main force of the Eastern Liao army, but the partial division. The troops stationed in the ten bastions were only 10,000, and many of them were "Mercenaries of Zhou Kingdom".

On the Korqin grassland south of Huanghe, Dongliao could convene a complete cavalry division at any time, including the auxiliary soldiers, as many as 20,000.

It is enough to fight a battle with the Jin soldiers who forcibly broke through the fortress line and headed south to rely on the Biwu, Fortress and Jianzhai.

Faced with Dongliao's long-lasting fortress-added attack, even Aguda had no tricks. After all, there was a Great Zhou behind Dongliao. Even if Aguda could defeat Dongliao, he would not have the strength to fight with the strong military Dazhou.

So he could only fight against tit and work against fortresses, and endure this.

And if you endure this hardship, you really don’t know when it will be.

"Everyone is extremely erect, it won't work if this continues!"

In a temporary tent, Aguda, who had just returned from a four-sided bastion on the front line, leaned against a pile of soft fur. While pouring wine for him, he said, "It's better to gather troops and horses, suddenly south of Huanghe River, and then head straight to Daning Mansion.

The spies had already found out that there were farmers around Daning Mansion, and they were not armed. As long as they rushed in, they would rob them casually."

"Ahem," Aguda took a big sip of the wine fairy and smiled bitterly, "Don't get lost. It's not just us who are uncomfortable now, but Wu Haogu is not easy to live!"

When Aguda said this, he must not know that Wu Haogu was working hard with Empress Xiao to create a person... I don’t know how easy it would be!

"...If today is a three-legged team, and the three-legged teams are mutually restrained, no one can do anything to each other. If the Zhou State takes a large-scale south to draw Song, then it is our chance to attack Daning Prefecture. If the Song State is willing to join forces with us and attack Zhou State from north to south, it is also our chance to.

Now that the opportunity has not come, you have to wait patiently and never be anxious. How many of us are the Jurchens? If you are not careful, you will be completely wiped out by the Zhou army. Then it will be a disaster for the extermination of the clan!"

"But when will the State of Song join forces with us?" Xi also frowned, "Now the official family of Song State has a very good personal relationship with Wu Haogu..."

"Wait!" Aguda said, "You can always wait for the opportunity... The current Song State officials have a good relationship with Wu Haogu, so let's wait for the next Song State official! I heard that the prince of Song State has great ambitions. As long as he can ascend the throne, Song Dynasty will definitely join forces with us!"

"But when will the prince of Song State ascend the throne?"

...

"Nothing! It's totally nothing! You're killing the chicken to get eggs!"

"Yizhi, I'm also thinking about our Ji family..."

"Think of a fool! Who has ended up with a wealthy country since ancient times? What do we need so much money for?"

"Wu Haogu's fate looks good..."

"You! Do you want me to learn martial arts and Haogu?"

"Yizhi, if you want to learn, we all support you. If you don't say more, we can take out 20 to 30 million yuan at any time!"

"Crazy..."

A tea cup from Ru kiln was smashed to pieces by Ji Yi on the bluestone floor.

Ji Yi, who had been desperately rushing to the road, had already arrived in JD.com at this time and met his cousin Ji Kui in the main store building of JD.com Bank.

Ji Kui proudly reported the good news to him - JD.com has made a lot of money now, and he is truly rich enough to rival a country!

But Ji Yi turned her face and scolded Ji Kui.

Ji Kui's subsequent reaction even more shocked Ji Yi - this guy actually advised Ji Yi to learn martial arts and be good at ancient times!

This scared Ji Yi. Why are businessmen so bold nowadays? How dare they think of such a rebellious thing?

"Remember it," Ji Kui whispered, "Actually, there are many people who are dissatisfied with the court in Jingdong and Shangcheng City!

What's the good thing about this court? I just know that I'm collecting taxes with us, but I don't do anything well after collecting money. What kind of official do I use? I know nothing! Our Gezhi Academy, Yuntai Academy, and Shanghai Literature and Science students are all good at both civil and military affairs, but they can only ask for a lie-official official. And it's becoming more and more difficult to get promoted, and even the anger of a group of veteran officials. Let's see how good the Zhou State is? We merchants can choose the Senate, our nephews can take the official exam and the navy exam... not the anger of the scholar-official officials!"

Ji Yi's face turned as dark as he heard this. Now the shopping malls along the southeast coast are starting to lose their weight!

In the words of later generations, a huge industrial and commercial interest group is taking shape.

This group not only includes Dashang and Dagong, but also the navy of the Coastal System Department, as well as Gezhi Academy, Yuntai Academy of Yuzhou Island, freshmen graduated from Shanghai Arts and Sciences Academy, and of course scholars from Confucianism and rationalism.

Their opponent was the pillar of the Song Dynasty and the traditional Confucian scholar-officials!
