"Did I bring troops to the south just to do nothing in Xijin Prefecture?"

Yelu Yanxi was really depressed. The Emperor of the Liao Dynasty led his troops to fight in person! The 100,000 heavenly soldiers came south in a mighty way, and it was terrible to think about it. No matter how hard he fought, he was in a dilemma. If this matter was spread to the grassland and the old forests in the northeast, the Buren and the Jurchens would not have to rise up!

"Your Majesty," Ma Renwang looked embarrassed, "Now the Jiehe River is large and the cavalry cannot cross. If you force it on a boat, it will be easily broken by the Southern Dynasty navy. It is best to wait until the weather is cold and Jiehe River is frozen before going south. Cangzhou is a flat land. Your Majesty's 100,000 iron cavalry can travel around, even if you cannot break through the Jiehe City, you can sweep the Cangzhou countryside."

"What's in the countryside of Cangzhou?" Yelu Yanxi frowned.

I am the Emperor of the Great Liao! I am not a thief on Yanshan. Now I have brought 100,000 troops to rob, so I have to rob a big city, right? How can I rob a handful of people in Cangzhou and leave? Isn’t this the same as the little thief on Yanshan?

Moreover, Cangzhou is famously poor. The Song people dug the Yellow River to play and flooded Cangzhou several times. Therefore, among the Hebei prefectures in the Song Dynasty, Cangzhou is the poorest. Although there is a Jiehe Commercial Market, this Commercial Market has nothing to do with the countryside of Cangzhou, right?

The horse man seemed to have no idea that Yelu Yanxi was fond of face, but just replied in all kinds of ways: "Your Majesty doesn't know that in recent years, the countryside of Cangzhou in the State of Song has become rich, and more than 3,000 knight manors have been built, each with 1,500 acres of land. Most of them are engaged in fixed herds and raised the famous hippo."

Jiehepo is not only famous in the Song Dynasty, but also in the Liao Kingdom. After all, Khitan horses are also a kind of free-range grassland horse, which is almost the same breed as the later Mongolian horses. Most of them are relatively short, with less than 5% of the Khitan horses being taller and suitable for war horses. The high-quality geldings flowing from Jiehe Market are usually four feet tall, and they are considered high-quality in Liao Kingdom. The Song Dynasty, which was supposed to lack good horses, can now export good horses to Liao Kingdom. Why don’t people be surprised?

Horse Renwang continued: "It is investigated that the hippos of the world are hybridized from Persian horses, Tianzhu Folding Horses, and Qingtang Dragon Stallies (a fine product among Hequ Horses). The horse breeding management is very strict. Each stallion, herdsmanship and foal are registered in the Knights' Academy in Yuntai Academy, and a 'household book' is built. There is also a special stallion farm responsible for improving the horse breeds. The best stallion shoulder height is as high as four feet nine!"

A shoulder height of four feet nine is nothing to the Persian horse, which is known for its height and thinness, and Persian horse is the main source of paternal genes for hippos.

Moreover, because of the Battle of Anxi and Ji Yi's visit to the West, Jiehe stallion now has obtained many high-quality Persian horses, Arabian horses, Andalusian horses and Sharia horses. Not only are there stallions, but also horses that can be used to give birth.

Therefore, in the foreseeable future, the quality of hippos in the world will continue to improve!

However, for the Khitans who only have the advantage of number of horses but no quality advantage, it is also a very rare good horse.

"Four feet nine?"

"Really?"

"How could the Song people raise such a good horse?"

"Everyone caught up with the Persian horse..."

"It must have been stolen from Persia!"

"It must have been stolen!"

"The Song people are so shameless!"

"What a robber..."

Hearing that there was a good horse with a shoulder height of four feet nine, Yelu Yanxi's group of Khitan generals gritted their teeth.

They don’t have such good horses, but the Song people actually have them. How can they not grab one? Moreover, these horses were originally stolen by the Song people from Persia, and they were all unrighteous horses! They had to be brought to the Great Liao.

"Ma Qing," Yelu Yanxi finally made up his mind, "Be sure to find out the location of the clearing river stallion! When it is cold and cold, I will personally lead the army to capture the Persian horses!"

"I obey the order!"

The horse man looked at the bow and bowing ceremony, but he smiled bitterly in his heart.

Of course he knew the location of Jiehe stallion. This horse farm was actually built with the help of his nephew Ma Zhi. The first few Persian stallions and Uighur horse breeders were all helped by Ma Zhi. The location of this horse farm was originally in the Hebei part of Jiehe Market, which is on the land of Liao Kingdom.

But after Yelu Yanxi stationed in Xijin Prefecture, the stallion began to move to Danluo Island... The Liao soldiers probably couldn't go there unless they were prisoners!

...

Just when Ma Renwang was having a headache because of dealing with Yelu Yanxi, Wu Haogu was about to encounter trouble and people. He and Ji Yi had arrived at Daming Prefecture, Beijing in the Song Dynasty. This Hebei Xiongcheng, located on the bank of the Yellow River, has always been the ruling center of Hebei. Therefore, it is the natural resident of the Hebei Road Transportation Envoy and the Hebei East Road Transportation Envoy (Hebei sometimes sets up two Transportation Envoys), and it is also the resident of the Daming Prefecture Road Pacification Envoy.

If Wu Haogu had not regarded Jiehe Shangshi as his old nest, his Hebei Xuanfu Envoy would have been stationed in Daming Prefecture.

Because the Hebei Xuanfu Department is not a permanent institution, and there are four to five comforting envoys in Hebei (the Shanghai Road System Division is the fifth route), and at the same time, Hebei has experienced a hundred years of "tension and peace", which has led to the transferees of Hebei, the east and west routes of Hebei, and the power of the transferees in national defense affairs continues to rise, becoming the de facto supreme commander of the Hebei routes.

First of all, the Hebei Transport Authority can be responsible for the waterway deployment in Hebei, not seaways, but responsible for the construction of defense facilities based on the river forests in Hebei.

Secondly, the Hebei Transportation Commissioner was responsible for building cities and villages, and supervising the construction of utensils and quilts. This power was granted by Emperor Renzong of Song to Ouyang Xiu, the then Hebei Transportation Commissioner, and it became a routine.

Again, the Hebei Transport Envoy is responsible for supplying military rations and military storage. This is the main job of the Hebei Transport Envoy.

Fourth, the Hebei Transportation Envoy can participate in border affairs decisions! This power is not available to the Transportation Envoys in other parts of the Song Dynasty. However, the Hebei Transportation Envoys had the power to "survey the generals and officials along the border affairs and to hear about border affairs." Due to the custom of the Song Dynasty's civil and military control, the Hebei Transportation Envoy who had this power became the de facto supreme commander of the Five Hebei Roads.

Fifth, Hebei Transportation Envoy can also take charge of the pacification envoy when the position of Bianchen minister is vacant. There are four corresponding pacification envoys (excluding the Hailu Supervisor), and there are often one vacant. Therefore, there are many opportunities for the Hebei Transportation Envoy and the Hebei East and West Transportation Envoy. Over time, Hebei Transportation Envoy was regarded as the Bianzheng.

In addition, the Hebei Transport Envoy also has the power to carry out diplomatic diplomacy with the Khitan, which Wu Haogu controlled, also has the right to transfer diplomatic diplomatic diplomacy, but the diplomatic target must be a "overseas" country, and the Khitan is not included.

Although Wu Haogu, the Hebei Xuanfu envoy, has a very big reputation, but his real power is very small.

Because this position is not permanent, many rights must be decided by the decree issued by Zhao Ji, and there must be a discount on the decree.

After all, several pacifiers in Hebei and most of the prefecture officials were civil officials from the imperial examinations. It was very difficult for a military officer from Wu Haogu to command them. Moreover, he had not yet monitored the power of the generals and officials along the border, so he could only exercise military laws on the battlefield. The civil officials would not go to the battlefield and were not afraid of Wu Haogu at all.

According to Zhao Ji's decree, Wu Haogu's authority was roughly to train the new army of six generals, rectify the border defense of Hebei, and supervise the troops to resist the Khitan and Quanshe Coastal Road Commander.

Now the Khitan has not yet violated the border and went south. All the "superior troops to resist" is just an option. Wu Haogu's actual authority is to train the new army of the six generals and rectify the border defense. Moreover, the military expenditure of the new army of the six generals is also contained in the pocket of Ji Yi, the Hebei Transportation Envoy. As for the right to rectify the border defense, it not only overlaps with the authority of the Hebei Transportation Envoy, but also overlaps with the authority of the four border comforting envoys, Zhendingfu Road, Dingzhou Road, Gaoyangguan Road and Damingfu Road.

Moreover, the four appeasers on the road were all dignified civil servants, and they also served as dispatchers of the Daming Prefecture, Zhending Prefecture, Dingzhou and Hejian Prefecture. The power in Hebei is even greater than that of Wu Gu! They are not as good as Wu Gu, a military officer.

Therefore, after Wu Haogu took office, he could not convene a meeting of the pacification envoys from all over the Hebei routes.

However, these civil officials still have to give Ji Yi some face. After all, the transfer envoy in Hebei has the food and salary for the four comfort roads (excluding coastal roads), and has the right to inspect the local area.

After entrusting Ji Yi's blessing, Wu Haogu finally met four appeasers in the yamen where the Daming Mansion was judged. They were Xu Jiang, the governor of Daming Mansion and the governor of Daming Mansion, Liang Zimei, the governor of Dingzhou Mansion and the governor of Dingzhou Mansion, Ye Zuqia, the governor of Hejian Mansion and the governor of Gaoyangguan Mansion, and Wang Qie, the governor of Zhending Mansion and the governor of Zhending Mansion.

Haha, none of them are easy to match!

Among them, Xu Jiang was the top scholar in Jiayounian. He served as the Left Chief Secretary of the Shangshu, the Secretariat, and the Minister of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School of the School

Liang Zimei is the prototype of Liang Zhongshu in "Water Margin". Although Liang Tong, the founding civil servant, was born after Liang Wendu, he was an official for 45 years and served in four dynasties. He was considered an important official at the level of veterans.

Ye Zuqia's top scholar in Xining for the third year, the confidant of Zeng Bu, the new party elder, and a cadre of the new party. He had a bad relationship with Wu Haogu's mentor Su Shi. Therefore, after Er Su took power, he was suppressed and was not allowed to enter the court for great use.

Wang Ying was Wang Anshi's nephew and Wang Anli's son who opposed the reform. Because Wang Anli had rescued Su Shi, who was destitute due to the Wutai poetry case, Wang Ying became a figure that was both good at both the old and the new. Although he was in charge of the officialdom, he still achieved the position of Zhizhen Dingfu and the comfort envoy of Zhending Road.

These four "great gods" not to mention the military officer Wu Haogu, even Ji Yi, a civil servant who came from the imperial examination, was in a transfer and could not command.
