Everyone was excited and bowed repeatedly. It was well known to the entire Jin Dynasty that King Wanyan Zongbi of Liao was good at fighting. Everyone was very excited to be able to come out to take charge of the overall situation.

Then he said some hindsights such as "I have long felt that Wu Linhuang is unreliable" and "too young and cannot be used" and discussed with the Ministry of Revenue how much tax to increase, and who is responsible for levying male students.

It lasted all night until the sun rose, and everyone dissipated with dark circles. Even so, they did not dare to fall asleep peacefully. Most of them continued to perform their duties and continued to run around because... many people were afraid, fearing from the bottom of their hearts.

The situation has developed to this day, and the words Li Xingzhou alone are enough to make people tremble. Since the founding of Taizu, officials of the Dajin Dynasty have never been as diligent as they are now.

.........

The 100,000 troops of Jing State broke through Shanhaiguan and headed north. The news spread like wind and soon. Even though the Emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty issued an order to appease him, the uneasiness among the people still had a far-reaching impact. The people's worries were different from those of the imperial officials. What they were afraid of was not only the army of Jing State, but also taxes and taxes.

Originally, the wartime tax was charged when fighting, but it had been increased once. Now that the army was defeated, we had to form a new army, and we had to increase taxes, and more young people were charged to fight.

With the continuous increase in taxes, the young laborers that the family can support will go to war again, which will undoubtedly make things worse.

Therefore, many people packed up their things and ran to the mountains to avoid disaster. The panic was not as easy to control as Liu Xu said, but it became increasingly severe under internal and external pressure.

The entire Great Jin Kingdom was filled with an uneasy atmosphere.

The Jin army soldiers on the western Liaoning front were waiting for the opportunity and were anxiously waiting for the Jingguo army.

However, what surprised them was that after the initial temptation, the Jing army did not launch a large-scale attack. According to the rewards of the spies in front, most of the Jing army seemed to be moving slowly and had no intention of going north in one go.

Even so, no one dared to relax his vigilance easily. Li Xingzhou and his army had been retreated and fled back to Shanhaiguan defenders, saying it was amazing.

Some people sneered, thinking that those defenders exaggerated their words to shirk responsibility, but the fact that Shanhaiguan collapsed within a few days was right in front of them, and they could not help but feel nervous, for fear of following in the footsteps.

...........

Li Xingzhou was chewing the dried and hard jerky meat and carrying a bowl of fresh fish soup. He was looking at the detailed map hanging in the tent. In addition to several important towns, villages and some fortresses were removed from the corridor of western Liaoning.

Fortunately, Yelu Dashi marked the location and detailed structure of these fortresses for him. At that time, these fortresses were built by the Liao Kingdom, but the Jin Kingdom continued to use them, but suffered a great loss.

Most of these fortresses were built in hidden locations or on high ground roads. Unexpectedly, because of Yelu Dashi's information, they had been exposed. Along the way, the Jin army used cannons and attacked the city and camp with almost no effort. The Jin army was beaten and had not yet realized how they were beaten.

There were many prisoners along the way, Yang Hongzhao, Wei Yubai, Yan Shen, and Wei Chaoren, who were left behind in the rear, also wrote letters to suggest that he march while he was victorious, and he might be able to take down Ningyuan and cause greater damage to the Jin Kingdom. Even if he could not take the initiative, he was still in their hands.

But soon, questions came one after another.

First of all, as the front line lengthens and crosses Shanhaiguan, the supply pressure in the rear gradually increases, and more corvee labor must be collected from Yanshan Prefecture to replenish the army.

Yanshan Prefecture was originally newly included in Jingguo for a few years. It had already collected a batch of corvee labor, with tens of thousands of people. After all, the supply of a 100,000 army was not a joke. It was just that the front line was close to Yanshan Prefecture and there was no need for too much labor.

Nowadays, as the front line moves north rapidly, more and more labor is needed to ensure the supply of the army. There have been several consecutive conscriptions. The people's hearts in the Yanshan Prefecture area are so stable, but now there are public grievances. Some rumors are quietly circulating. Fortunately, the army won consecutive battles and can be stabilized for the time being.

The population in the north is not as large as that in the Central Plains, such corvee labor is under great pressure on the people.

Li Xingzhou thought about the sufferings of the people, but he could not withdraw his troops yet. He could only try his best to coordinate and give some money to each corvee service.

In the past, the imperial court required the people to bring their own food to work for the court. Later, Emperor Taizu of Jing State changed the situation and stipulated that the levyed corvee country must provide food and do not have to bring it themselves. But even so, few people are willing unless they are desperate.

Now he has a step closer to paying for labor service. Although it is very little, the court cannot afford too much. He can always stabilize people's hearts and make the war last longer. However, these tasks have also slowed down the pace of the main force of the army to a certain extent.

But this is just a small matter, and the biggest blame lies with him.

Li Xingzhou has a rude and ruthless behavior.

The Jing army, who was defeated in the Liaoxi Plain, pursued the defeated Jin army, but he issued an order not to advance rashly and crossed the Jin army fortress to pursue, which might lead to a dangerous situation of attacking from front and back.

As a result, there were several companies eager to make contributions, regardless of the size of the Jin army, and they chased them directly under Ningyuan City before returning.

As a result, when he turned back, he was blocked on the road and was attacked by Ningyuan defenders who were leaving the city to investigate the situation. Although he broke through with the advantage of guns, his own losses were unclear.

Li Xingzhou was furious. Yang Hongzhao believed that it was very dangerous to not obey the general's orders, and the company commander who led the lead must be beheaded and displayed in public to the public for the regular military law.

But these new troops were his years of hard work after all, and they were just dazed and it was not a big mistake. In addition, his ideas from later generations led to him being ruthless and only demoted a few company commanders.

As a result, this move caused unexpected consequences. The army left Shanhaiguan, and the vanguard was almost in chaos. Whether it was the new army or the imperial guards, the battalions and companies fought on their own and rushed forward to make a breakthrough. Even in a day, the superiors were disobeyed several times!

The temptation of gold, silver and wealth, and the temptation of military merits made the former army dizzy, and the loose treatment of the commander made more people dare to take risks!

Only then did Li Xingzhou understand how much impact the decision he made as the head coach. He was ruthless to several company commanders who violated the general order. The consequences were that he led more than 70 laughing officers who did not obey the orders and showed them to the public.

But the greater impact was that the front army was scattered, and several battalions and company-level troops were separated from the army, resulting in the overall speed of the Jin army being completely slowed down, and the plan to attack Ningyuan in a surprise attack was shattered.

This delay, when they arrived in Ningyuan, the Jin army had already received the news and prepared it.

This is a painful lesson, and the entire strategic deployment has been affected to a certain extent.

Li Xingzhou sighed that he did not have too many talents in this area. He also thought that the Song army had the opportunity to recover Yanshan Mansion back then. There was even one time when the vanguard had entered the city with the cooperation of the surrendered generals and occupied the city. The dust would be settled when the army arrived.

The result was also bad in the military discipline. Because the military discipline of the Song army was scattered and committed many evil deeds in the city, it aroused fierce resistance from the people. Then the chain-like army of tens of thousands was defeated. The Song Dynasty no longer had the opportunity to get involved in Yanshan Prefecture and lost the opportunity to recover the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

So many times he often touches his whole body and destroys the ant hole for a thousand miles. This time he suffers a great loss.

Li Xingzhou sighed that if he had listened to Yang Hongzhao and made up his mind to kill those company commanders and strictly enforce military laws, there would have been no subsequent destructive things.

Just as he turned his grief and anger into appetite, his personal soldiers came to report that a Tatar envoy came.

Mongols? Li Xingzhou was puzzled, what were they doing at this time?
