The army rested for another day on the bank of Yongding River, and the materials were almost transported. Although there would be supplies to be transported in the future, there was no need for all the troops to defend here. So Liu Ping asked someone to build a neat defense and left 5,000 people to guard the floating bridge, and then led the army to attack Xijin Prefecture City.

Xijin Prefecture is Nanjing, Liao Kingdom, and one of the Liao Kingdom's accompanying capitals. Because it is located in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, it is also called Yanjing. I believe many people are very familiar with this name. Yes, Yanjing is the old name of Beijing. In fact, Xijin Prefecture City is located in the southwest of Beijing City in later generations and also belongs to the scope of Beijing City.

It is worth mentioning that the Beijing of the Song Dynasty was called Daming Prefecture. Many later generations thought that Daming Prefecture was later Beijing. However, in fact, this Daming Prefecture is located in Daming County, Hebei, which is still a distance away from Beijing. The real Beijing city is now in the hands of the Liao people.

Xijin Prefecture was originally on the edge of the Yongding River, but it did not regard the Juma River as a moat like Juma City. The main reason is that the Yongding River is too irritable and migrates the river channel at any time. Therefore, the location of the Xijin Prefecture city is more than ten miles away from the river bank, and the terrain is quite high. In this way, even if the river water floods, it is difficult to flood Xijin Prefecture.
