Yellow is the team, marching among the green mountains. Starting from Tianjin, the Song and Zhou dynasties, which participated in the three alliances, never stopped their pace of progress.

The specific location of the Sanhui Alliance is between the Dading Prefecture of Zhongjing in Liao Kingdom and Chengde Prefecture of Zhou Kingdom, and is by the shady river on the northern foot of the mountain called Ma Mengshan.

The so-called Chengde Prefecture was in the later area of ​​Chengde County, Hebei Province. It was called Bei'anzhou when it was in Liao. After being captured by Zhou State, it was renamed Chengde Prefecture and became a direct government office directly under the senate house of Zhou State and the head of the head palace.

The prefecture was in Xinghua County, the former prefecture of Bei'an Prefecture. Wuhaogu occupied a large area of ​​mountains and river valleys on the Wuli River bank east of Xinghua County, and invested in the construction of a summer palace as a place for him to escape the summer heat and have a tryst with Empress Xiao in the future...

In the autumn sun, the team was moving forward like a flying, rolling up dust on the dry official road. Because of the marching inside, the nearby Liao Kingdom had long since turned from an enemy to an ally. Therefore, the troops of the Song and Zhou countries were not wearing armor, but just marched in daily robes and military jackets.

Among them, the Song army was dressed gorgeously, and the clothes were not the same, but the clothes of most soldiers were yellow, green, red, white, black, gold, silver, etc. The Eighth Bundesliga Army, who escorted Zhao Huan to the north this time, deliberately unified the clothes, and the infantry all wore yellow jackets. The cavalry and officers still wore robes of various colors, which were very bright.

The Zhou army's clothing was simple and the color was also a single yellowish color. Before the founding of the Republic, they wore a war jacket with the same color as vermilion. However, after the founding of the Republic, the Zhou army's uniforms were also upgraded, and the red Song-style battle jackets and robes that always faded were eliminated. The simpler right-side lapel narrow-sleeved earth-yellow battle jackets and robes were adopted, and the two sets of winter and summer clothing were divided into winter and summer.

Soldiers wear cotton robes in winter, and cloth robes in summer. Officers wear leather robes in winter, and cloth robes in summer.

In order to distinguish between officers and soldiers, "eavespins" were shown on the shoulders of the battle robe.

Among them, the soldiers' epaulettes are white five-pointed stars, one star is the lower soldier, two star is the middle soldier, three star is the upper soldier, and four star soldier chief.

The officer's epaulette is mainly divided into three major ranks: general, school and wei. Each major rank is set, with three small ranks at the middle and fewer. The large ranks are distinguished by the color of the five-pointed stars, the general rank is red, the school rank is green, and the wei rank is black. The small rank is also distinguished by the number of five-pointed stars, three is less, two is middle and one is less.

On the rank of generals, there is also a rank of Grand Marshal, which was used by the head of the Republic when he personally fought for the expedition, with three purple five-pointed stars.

Excluding the rank of Grand Marshal, the Zhou army's ranks are 4th ranks of soldiers, 9th ranks of officers, and 13 ranks of total.

When fighting in armor, the colors of the shoulder scarf or cloak are distinguished. White is the soldier stairs, black is the stairs, green is the school stairs, and red is the general stairs.

Corresponding to the ranks of officers, there are also the ranks of officials in Zhou State. Officials are divided into four levels, and officials are divided into nine levels. They are also thirteen levels.

The head of state, veteran, and congressman are all outside the thirteenth rank of officials and have no rank.

In addition, the thirteenth rank of officials should be divided into two categories: government affairs and affairs.

Affairs officials include wise officials and affairs officials. This type of official is generally selected through the examination and usually starts from the bottom after entering the officialdom. He can be promoted one level after another. During the promotion, he must also consider factors such as seniority, merit, and education. The salary is directly related to the size of the official rank.

Moreover, once you enter the officialdom, you will not be demoted to the people unless you commit a crime or resign. Even if you are not allowed to choose, you can retain your official rank and half of your salary.

The treatment and appointment of officers are also like the officials, but their salary is more generous than that of officials.

The government officials are officials elected or appointed by the Senate, the parliament, the head of state, the chief officials of the state, the left and right ministers, and the six ministers and six supervisors.

When appointing, there is no need to consider the qualifications, merits, education and other factors according to the standards of officials. There is no need to be promoted at one level. What kind of treatment is enjoyed when appointing officials of the rank. However, once the term ends or is dismissed for various reasons, the official rank and salary will be lost immediately, and there is no concept of choosing.

A certain level of government officials must be appointed by veterans or congressmen.

In addition, current military officers are not allowed to serve as government officials, affairs officers, veterans and congressmen.

Government officials and officials are not allowed to serve as officials, and officials are not allowed to serve as veterans or members of parliament.

The head of state shall not be held by the current officer, and the rank of the chief of state's marshal is only used temporarily during the personal expedition, not the official rank. The temporary rank is not only the Grand Marshal. The rank of the school and lieutenants have temporary ranks and all levels of the Zhou State (excluding the craftsman) and are obliged to join the militia to participate in the battle with temporary ranks when the Senate is ordered. Therefore, they must also participate in military training on time!

Finally, if you serve as a veteran, congressman, military officer, government official, and affairs officer for a certain period of time, you can receive a monthly pension after retirement.

Starting from Tianjin, crossing Yanshan to reach the destination of Sanjiahuimeng, it is about 500 miles away.

8,800 new Song army and 20,000 first cavalry division of Zhou army, traveled 80 miles a day, by the sixth day, the vanguard had already arrived at the foot of Mount Ma Meng.

At this moment, a terrible news came from the Dading Prefecture of Liao Kingdom.

...

"Your Highness, Your Highness, King Ding, and the areas south of Huanghe, Yongzhou, Fengzhou and Yikunzhou, there are large-scale children born in Zhi and Menggu to block the cavalry. Therefore, my empress dowager must be in charge of Dading Prefecture and cannot personally go to the Yinliang River. The empress dowager ordered his ministers to come and ask, should they go to the Dading Prefecture to meet the alliance, or should they still join the envoys sent by the Empress dowager in Yinliang?"

Wu Haogu and Ding King Zhao Huan sat shoulder to shoulder in a large tent, meeting Empress Dowager Xiao Delis, the envoy of Empress Dowager Xiao.

Xiao Delis brought a very terrible news! The Jin Dynasty and the ancients and the Bu people's army had broken through the Huanghe River and approached Dading Prefecture.

Wu Haogu frowned and looked at Zhao Huan with the corners of his eyes. Zhao Huan's face turned pale, as if he was still trembling... I don't know if he would faint?

He took his gaze back and glanced at Su Chi again. Su Shumi frowned, but he did not show any fear, as if he was thinking carefully.

Maybe in his opinion, the Jin Kingdom was not an enemy, but the Great Zhou was the enemy?

If Zhou Jin breaks up and starts a war, then it will be a chance for Lian Jin to resist Zhou...

"Your Highness," Wu Haogu said to Zhao Huan with a smile, "Let's go to Dading Mansion to meet Empress Xiao."

"Slow down!" Zhao Huan did not speak, but Su Chi interrupted, "Our dynasty and the Khitan alliance were only to redeem Taiyuan and pacify the army, and would not participate in the war with the Jurchens."

Can you join the war or not?

Wu Haogu Xin snorted coldly.

The barbarians have always bullied the weak and feared the strong... With the strength of the Great Zhou Dynasty, if they dared to invade, it would be a disaster for genocide.

Moreover, the Jurchens and Menggu and Zubu have formed an alliance. With the help of these two grassland overlords, the maneuverability of the Jurchen cavalry on the grassland will be greatly improved.

Therefore, Aguda may not invade from the northeast, and may also cross the grasslands in the south of the desert and directly attack Yunzhong, Hedong, and Shuofang!

"The Song army naturally does not need to participate in the war." Wu Haogu said lightly, "Even my Great Zhou army is not necessarily involved in the war... The head of state has never liked fighting, but liked to resolve the battle. Why not let King Ding and the head of state be a peacemaker and resolve this fierce battle for Liao and Jin?"

King Ding Zhao Huan was just here to go on a blind date, and it was not up to him to decide on military and national affairs, so he turned his attention to Su Chi.

Su Chi smiled, "But I don't know how to fight, I can only watch the fight!"

This is a bit heartbroken!

Is he going to watch the battle between Liao and Jin, or the battle between Liao and Jin? Anyway, it is definitely good news for the Song Dynasty!

"Will the Privy Council go to Dading Mansion?" Wu Haogu asked.

"Go." Su Chi smiled, "With the strength of the Zhou army, we won't be able to protect the Dading Mansion, right?"

"The Great Ding Mansion is foolproof!" Xiao Delis interrupted calmly. "The Head of State and the King of Ding can go there with peace of mind!"

The Liao Dynasty is not dead yet! Why are you all here to attend the funeral?

Xiao Delis boasted: "My Empress Dowager is around Dading Prefecture with 200,000 elite troops, built 300 tillions of tills of grain. In the battle of Dading Prefecture, our Daliao will surely win!"

Of course, his words were fooling people... Empress Dowager Xiao could not have set up an army of 200,000 in Dading Mansion, and she did not have so many troops available now. However, the Liao Dynasty's defense in Dading Mansion was indeed very strict.

After the secret meeting with Empress Dowager Xiao last year, Wu Haogu sent Yu Yongfu, who was familiar with the Jurchen tactics, to lead a military advisory team to Dading Prefecture.

A large number of engineer experts (Yu Yongfu is an engineer expert) and craftsmen were also sent. With their help, not only did the defense level of Dading Prefecture rise to a level, but also the Chongxin Hall, Songshan Hall, Songshan City, Songlin City, Sanhan City, Woye City, Yimin City, Tongchang City and other castles were strengthened north of Dading Prefecture. This formed a castle line that started from the thousand-mile pine forest in the west and ended at the Korqin Grassland in the east.

In addition, the Zhou State's military advisory group also trained a Zhou-style cavalry division and a Zhou-style infantry division for Empress Dowager Xiao.

Although their equipment and training level are incomparable to the serious Zhou army, they can still rely on the fortress line to fight for a mobile defense in the inside line!

According to Wu Haogu's vision, the Liao Kingdom led by Empress Dowager Xiao in the future should be a force affiliated with the Great Zhou. It should control the two farming areas of Dading Prefecture and Datong Prefecture, and also master some of the Korqin grasslands, thousands of miles of pine forests and Bashang grasslands.

With these territories, Empress Dowager Xiao was enough to maintain at least 100,000 tents of Khitan and Xi tribes. It was enough to act as a strong shield to resist Mongolia and Jurchen.

Yelu Dashi could go north from the Qihe Land, jointly deploy 20,000 troops in the Jian'an Army in Zhenzhou, work together to conquer the Nianbage tribe (Naman people), occupy the western part of the Mongolian Plateau, and establish the Western Liao regime.
