Shenzhou, Jing'an County.

The spacious and dilapidated Song Dynasty government office that informed the affairs of Shenzhou had already risen at this time a great sign symbolizing the Emperor of the Liao Dynasty.

In the middle of the small city, on a street that was heading north and south, there were only brigades of Liao soldiers, the troops from Nanjing Road, the elite troops of the Four Jet Army mobilized from Xijing Road, the baggage vehicles pulled by mules and horses, and the elite Khitan soldiers with one man and two horses. They rumbled past the streets and walked south under the gaze of the people of Song who were forced to take jars and jars filled with food and sent them to the streets. From officers to soldiers, they were all full of energy, as if they soon rushed to Kaifeng Prefecture to pull Zhao Ji off the throne.

The black marching team extended from the official road outside the north gate of the city to the official road outside the south gate, as if there was no end.

Yelu Yanxi, the Emperor of the Great Liao Dynasty, was also wearing military uniforms, standing on a high ground on the bank of the Yellow River, ten miles outside Shenzhou Prefecture. He held the distant tube seized from Zhong Fu who died in battle and looked at the opposite bank of the Yellow River. The Yellow River channel is wide and the water flow is still flat. There is a group of ships passing by on the river. Because they are sailing against the current, the speed is very slow. One of the ships is just a troop transport ship, and the deck is full of Song Dynasty officers and soldiers in military uniforms, all staring at the large Liao soldiers heading south along the official road on the west bank of the Yellow River.

Yelu Yanxi put down the telescope and turned his head to smile at the Khitan generals who were following his left and right, saying, "If Lord Song knew that my army had already drunk the horses and rivers, he would be so scared that he would have nightmares every night?"

"The Lord Song has always been weak. I heard that His Majesty's Heavenly Soldiers are approaching the Yellow River, so they probably fled back to Jiangnan, right?"

"Haha, if Lord Song runs away, the flower world in the Central Plains belongs to us Khitans!"

"That is the great cause that Emperor Taizu could not achieve will be achieved in the hands of His Majesty!"

All the Khitan generals around skillfully flattered Yelu Yanxi. However, what they said was not impossible. If the Khitan army really crossed the river and went south near the Jingji Road of the Song Dynasty, it would be hard to say whether Zhao Ji would be scared away.

But at the moment, they are just standing on the bank of the Yellow River flowing north, and the other side of the Yellow River is only the eastern part of Jizhou. If the Liao army crosses the river and goes north, they will soon be able to enter Cangzhou and pick up the retreat of Wu Haogu!

But this matter is a bit terrible and no one dares to think about it. Jiehe Shang City is a strong city built with red bricks, and all the Khitan warriors plus one piece are probably not enough to fill it out.

Moreover, there are hundreds of brick and stone castles south of Jiehe Shang City! Each one has to be filled with the lives of the Khitans!

As for besieging Jiehe Market, it is even more impossible. Jiehe Market has the largest navy in the world and it is impossible to encircle and blockade from land.

Besides, the other person's iron cavalry is very powerful. If he really fights in a field, he may not lose to the Liao soldiers.

Therefore, it is impossible to go north to copy Jiehe Market.

If you cross the river, you can quickly arrive at the city of Daming Prefecture.

However, Daming Prefecture was Beijing in the Song Dynasty. The city was tall and sturdy, and there were hundreds of thousands of people in the city. I am afraid it was not comparable to cities like Shenzhou, Dingzhou, and Qizhou.

In addition, everyone knows that there is a large inland warship fleet on the Jiehe River, with dozens of warships of all sizes, including more than a dozen watercraft ships. Although it cannot be compared with the Song Kingdom warships on the sea, it can still run rampant on the water surface of the Jiehe River and the Yellow River. At least the Khitans had no choice but to use them before the Yellow River was frozen.

So it is impossible to cross the Yellow River now. You can only wait until the surface of the Yellow River freezes in winter before you can cross the river from the ice.

However, the Khitan army faced the Yellow River, which could still put great psychological pressure on the Song State!

Until now, no one except Wu Haogu really thought of the word "destroy the country". Both sides were playing with their heartbeat.

Whoever can't stop kneeling first will suffer heavy losses.

The Song Dynasty naturally cedes land and pays compensation, and the annual monies must be paid more than one million yuan a year! Zhao Ji's "Emperor Genghis" will also become a laughing stock in the world. Don't expect to attack Yanyun in the north in this life.

If the Liao Kingdom surrendered first, the consequences would be even more terrible! Even if it did not cut off an inch of land and did not pay a penny, the reputation of the Khitan Empire would be gone.

The reputation of the country was lost, the divine divination on the grassland, the nuzhi in the white mountains and black waters, and the bitter slaves of the Bohai Sea in Liaodong Road would all rise up. And the Song State, which won a battle, would definitely be full of confidence and take advantage of the chaos in Liao to fight again.

By then, it would be impossible for Daliao to not hurt his muscles and bones.

So Yelu Yanxi is now pretending to be fat, turning a blind eye to the Hejian camp placed by Wu Haogu under the city of Xijinfu, and advancing south with his head covering. He wanted to put the greatest pressure on Zhao Ji and force him to accept the peaceful conditions of the Khitans.

A husband from a private army in the imperial tent rushed over and reported loudly to Yelu Yanxi after dismounting, "Your Majesty, you have just intercepted the report sent by the Song Dynasty court to Hejian Mansion."

As he spoke, he handed a box containing the diary to Xiao Baoxian who was following Yelu Yanxi. Xiao Baoxian took out the diary and looked carefully, and his face changed suddenly.

"Your Majesty," his voice trembled a little, "Zhao Ji announced that he was in charge of the imperial army!"

"Hmph!" Yelu Yanxi snorted coldly, "He came just right! It would be a matter of time before our Khitan army could work hard to go to Kaifeng Prefecture, so we captured him alive in Hebei!"

"It's not Hebei, but Yan land!" Xiao Baoxian said, "The diary said that Zhao Ji announced that he would personally expedition and analyze the Jin Prefecture, and also upgraded Jiezhou to Tianjin Prefecture as his place of garrison in the Northern Expedition..."

"What!?" Yelu Yanxi's face was pale now, and cold sweat broke out on her forehead.

If Kaifeng Prefecture, which will be frozen in winter, is the fatal point of the Song Dynasty, except for a Yellow River that will be frozen in winter, then Xijin Prefecture, which has been attacked by the Song army, is the fatal point of the Liao Dynasty.

If Kaifeng Prefecture is lost, the Song Dynasty may not be destroyed. Once Xijin Prefecture is lost, the Liao Dynasty will be doomed.

So the thought of returning to the teacher Xijin Mansion immediately arose in Yelu Yanxi's mind, but then he suppressed it again.

Because when you return to Xijin Mansion, you must attack the Hejian Camp!

Otherwise, the great Emperor of the Liao Dynasty would have turned a blind eye to a camp of the Song army not far from his palace. What would the powerful Yan land think? The Emperor of the Liao Dynasty was so cowardly, would he be the other wise leader?

But can the Hejian camp be defeated? With more than 10,000 weak soldiers and the camp built by Zhong Fu, he caused heavy losses to Yelu Yanxi's 80,000 army. Now, if it was the Hejian camp that Wu Haogu, a master of city building, took so long to carefully construct, how many people would have to die to defeat it?

Of course, it is more likely that many people died and did not conquer the Hejian camp in the end. When Zhao Ji's imperial guards arrived, the powerful people in Yan would not be allowed to accept the wind?

"Your Majesty, Master Song has personally led the army to fight, are we..."

Xiao Bao first handed the mansion newspaper to Yelu Yanxi and whispered a suggestion. He wanted to suggest Yelu Yanxi to return to Xijin Mansion, but when he spoke, he felt it was inappropriate, so he got stuck.

Yelu Yanxi glanced at the Song Guogang ship that was slowly and difficult to move, gritted her teeth and said, "Go south to Hengshui along the Yellow River, then west along the Hulu River, cross the Hulu River in Xinhe Town, and continue south along the west river of the Yellow River!"

Hulu River is a tributary of the Yellow River flowing north. The upper reaches originate from the Taihang Mountains. There is a section of the two rivers in the lower reaches that connect the Yellow River flowing north. Qiankou Town in the boundary of Damingfu of the Yellow River is divided into east and west rivers. The East River is the main trunk, and the West River flows into Hulu River, and then converges with the East River in Hengshui County, Jizhou.

Yelu Yanxi gritted his teeth, "I will come to the Kaide Mansion of Song before the Yellow River is frozen. When the river is frozen, I will go straight to Kaifeng Mansion!

In addition, the grassland was sent to mobilize the three armies of the Southern King's Mansion, the Northern King's Mansion, and the B-sei Prince's Mansion to move south and reach Dingzhou within 50 days!"

The so-called Southern Palace, Northern Palace and Yishi Royal Palace are also like the Xi Palace, both of which are the yamen that manage the Khitan tribes and are directly under the Khitan court. The tribal soldiers provided by the three royal palaces are also the most powerful force of the Khitans in the past few decades. However, these tribes have been severely weakened due to the "palace guard system" of the Khitans. Now the three royal palaces can only dispatch more than 30,000 regular soldiers at most.

...

Wu Haogu is busy with a lot of things at this time. I don’t know if it’s a fixed number or something else. Jiehe Commercial Market, which has been operating for more than ten years, is now officially renamed Tianjin!

The real estate prefecture, which was just established and did not even have a proper territory from Cangzhou, has now become Tianjin Prefecture.

Moreover, the defense of Tianjin Prefecture is not under the jurisdiction of Gaoyangguan Road or Hailu Maritime Manufacturing Department, but under the jurisdiction of the newly established Yanshan Road Strategic and Pacification Envoy Department.

In other words, Tianjin Prefecture is now the capital of Yanshan Road. In the Song Dynasty, the capital along the way was the largest and most prosperous city on the way.

In addition, in order to highlight the status of Tianjin Prefecture and Zhao Ji's determination to attack Yanyun in the north, Tianjin Prefecture has also added a Wuqing County in addition to Tianjin Hejiehe County (the prefect of Tianjin Prefecture is stationed in Jiehe County).

Needless to say, the first person to be sentenced to Tianjin Prefecture was Wu Haogu, who was the commander of Yanshan Road.

Tianjin Prefecture is the capital of Yanshan Road. According to the customs of the Song Dynasty, the prefect was naturally the commander-in-chief.

At the same time, the deployment of Yanshan Road Capital in Wuhaogu also became the formal Yanshan Road Management and Pacification Envoy, and a commissioner of the palace capital was added to show that the Emperor of Song Dynasty was about to station in Tianjin Prefecture.

The dispatch of the Hailu Maritime Market Commander has not been taken away for the time being, and of course no one dares to take it... I went to the Liao Kingdom to grab 3 million stones of grain, which is scary to think about it!
