Standing in the yard, watching the snowflakes falling from the sky. After a while, Jingtai turned around and said to the deputy commander Guo En, "It's snowing today, and it's colder every day behind. The Khitan army in the north should have arrived in Youzhou."

Guo En said: "According to the news ahead, many tribal soldiers have entered Youzhou. However, Yelu Hongji's army has just passed Bei'anzhou, and I think it will be in Youzhou in less than ten days."

Jingtai nodded: "Ten days, there are not many days left. I have looked around these days. Most of the surrounding rivers have not frozen. If the Khitans want to go south, they have to go to Baozhou. In the future, they suddenly feel a little uneasy."

Guo En said: "What the Taiwei said is that the Khitans went south, and they thought they were going to Baozhou. Although cities were built everywhere and troops were stationed, they still had no idea whether they could defend against the Khitans. There would be troublesome things in the next few months."

Jingtai didn't say anything after hearing this, and returned to the corridor and stood there watching the snow. Recently, the territory of Khitan began to tighten slowly, and the information was not easy to send out. The situation on the front line began to become tense. Baozhou, which is on the front line, is particularly solemn.

Although Jingtai had already done various deductions and made plans, the Khitans would not be able to feel at ease for a day. After making complete preparations, who knows what the Khitans thought?

After a while, Jingtai said, "Go and invite Shi Yu and Yang Sui to come. We will drink and enjoy the snow together tonight. The Khitans are here, and we will discuss how to fight this battle. If hundreds of thousands of troops suddenly surround us, a negligence may lead to a big mistake."

Guo En said no, went out and ordered his personal soldiers to invite the two of them.

The third divisions under Jingtai, the Guangxin Army stationed in the north, Shi Yu, the commander of the division commander of the division commander Shi Yu, the commander of the division commander of the division commander Yang Sui, and the commander of the division commander of the division commander Lu Zheng, also the commander of the division commander of the division, was stationed in Baozhou with the military headquarters. The third division was in the shape of an inverted font, with two divisions in front, facing the Khitans. The military headquarters and another division were behind, and were Jingtai's reserve team, and at the same time, they checked for omissions and made up for the gaps. Since the entire army was completed, this was the first battle that the Jingtai army faced, and the entire army was inevitably nervous.

It has been October, and the grass and trees have withered and started to freeze. The situation on the entire Hebei Road has become tense. However, the river has not frozen, and the Khitans cannot cross the river. The Song army estimated that the place that is most likely to be attacked is Baozhou.

Wu Jin looked at the soldiers around him and was very dissatisfied. He went to Yizhou a few days ago to report military information and everything was fine. Unexpectedly, he only gave 30 stagnant coins in the end. The magistrate was confident that he would give him a reward if he wanted to verify the news. Yesterday, he even sent someone to escort him to Xijin Prefecture, and the Khitan ministers verified what he said.

Sighing, Wu Jin tightened the corners of his clothes and headed north towards the cold north. In the evening, he finally entered Xijin Prefecture.

At this time, the war was approaching, and many troops were stationed in Xijin Prefecture. Although the weather was cold, the streets were still very lively, and various vendors were shuttled through the crowd. The food shops beside the streets were steaming and an attractive fragrance came out.

Wu Jin sniffed hard, feeling hungry and wanted to have a good meal.

The little boss on the side said: "For the news just now, the stay-at-home is waiting in the mansion, let's go quickly!"

Wu Jin followed them and walked north along the avenue. When he arrived outside the left-behind mansion, the sun had already set off the mountain. Looking at the left-behind mansion, Wu Jin felt cold and hungry, and only hoped to enter the left-behind mansion. The left-behind mansion had a table of good food first.

After entering the left-behind mansion, he was led by his soldiers and arrived at the flower hall on the side. There was no wine or food inside, and only two officials sat there, which disappointed Wu Jin.

Yelu Renxian was already anxious when he saw someone coming in, and hurriedly said, "Is this the Song people who reported the news?"

The soldiers on the side said that it was. Yelu Renxian said: "Okay, okay! I read the report from Yelu Prefect a few days ago, which is very useful! I specially asked you to come today to ask what the situation is."

Wu Jin hurriedly bowed: "I have a low identity and I am left behind and ask about it. I naturally know that I can't help but speak, and I can't speak in my words!"

Yelu Ren said one after another, saying, "After reading the report from Yelu Prefecture, I realized that the imperial guards of the Song Dynasty have been trained and those who have not trained. The ones who really guarded the border are those who have been trained and those who have been trained. Yes, right?"

Wu Jin said: "It's true that when I go back to the left, I'm really the imperial guards who were originally on Hebei Road. I haven't done anything recently, I'm just guarding the road. All cities are guarding the imperial guards who have been trained. We don't know what they are doing."

Yelu Ren listened first and said to Yelu Zongyun on the side: "King, it seems that there are not so many Song troops opposite. They have newly transferred 250,000 troops. If they only use these people, it will not be scary."

Yelu Zongyun said to Wu Jin: "In this way, the original 200,000 imperial guards on Hebei Road will not count them?"

Wu Jin said: "Of course I don't count. Now the imperial guards are used as wing troops, patrolling the places and guarding the intersections, just not fighting."

In fact, this was not the case with the Song army. After the training of the imperial guards, most of the soldiers remained. It was just because there were insufficient officers and they were not trained into an army. Most of them were stationed around Hejian Mansion, and were temporarily detained by Liu Ji's troops. Wu Jin, who had been determined to be eliminated, were regarded as the wing army. Wu Jin did not even participate in the training and made up his mind to leave, naturally did not know these things.

After carefully asking Wu Jin about the current policies of the Song army, Yelu Renxian and Yelu Zongyun were very confident. In the past, they only thought that the Song army had 400,000 or 500,000 people on the Hebei Road, and the Khitan was insufficient, so they were inevitably worried. Now it seems that the Song army has not much force, and the situation is beneficial to the Khitan.

Of course, Wu Jin said something is true and false, and he did not know the real secret. It was just that the two Khitan generals could not tell it, and they just regarded it as true. Because the Song army was strictly guarded and had no idea about the news from the south before, it was very different now.

Looking at the sky, Yelu Renxian said to Wu Jin: "You can live in the mansion these days to prepare for inquiries. - By the way, the rewards I promised you will definitely not be missing. Just stay for a few days, don't worry."

Wu Jin bowed his hand and said yes. But he felt in his heart that his reward was getting more and more lingering. Yelu Renxian said this, the more people felt that they didn't want to give money. How could a big Khitan country be so stingy?

After sending Wu Jin away, Yelu Renxian said: "The main combat power of the Song army is the 250,000 troops transferred this year, stationed in various states. When the emperor arrives, if he can concentrate his troops and break through one point first, things will be completely different."

Yelu Zongxian nodded: "As long as you break through one state and the army goes south, the Song Dynasty will inevitably be shocked! The Song army is good at defending the city, and once they leave the city, they will help. The army entered the Song territory, left several states on the border and went straight to Kaifeng Prefecture. At that time, let's see what the Song Dynasty should do!"

If you just stalemate at the border, the Khitan cannot fight for a long time. Although Youzhou is large, it is still very difficult to support hundreds of thousands of troops. Once time goes by, there will be no idea where the food and grass come from. You can only rely on quickly breaking through the border and entering the Song Dynasty to fight. Once you enter the Song Dynasty, you will have food and grass.
