"The reason why the Jin thieves can avoid the power of our army's artillery and the Han army's artillery battalion that can follow the cavalry to advance, kill and injure many of our warriors. He was the guidance of this person. Humph, the artillery was built by the Xia Kingdom, and the gunners were trained by the Xia Kingdom. There are still five hundred musketeers in the artillery battalion, which can replace the use of bows and arrows. Fortunately, today Yelu Guan's surprise attack has destroyed most of the cannon fodder that can accompany the army. The gunners and musketeers of the artillery battalion have also suffered heavy losses. They cannot recover in the near future, and it will be difficult to cause trouble for our army."

"Do you want to get rid of this person?" Yelu Tie Ge's eyes were slightly condensed, as if he had heard of this name, but he couldn't remember it carefully. Yelu Dashi nodded and continued, "It turns out that we despised the Han army too much, and we almost ruined the big things by these rats. This Zhao De is the captain of Xia State and has a strict protection around him. If this person can be removed, it is best if he can't get rid of it, then notify the "partners" in the west and find an excuse to get him away."

"The 'partner' in the west?" Yelu Tiege said in surprise. This "partner" in the west asked Yelu Dashi, but Yelu Dashi never took the initiative to ask him to do anything. Yelu Tiege had only hesitated for a moment, then nodded and said, "I obey the order, I will notify him immediately."

Yelu Dashi nodded, he waved his hand, and the Privy Council envoy of the North Court retreated. Yelu Dashi closed his eyes and took a deep breath of some anxious air. In recent years, he slept with firewood and tasted gall, and the country was booming. The Jurchens in the Northern Expedition made so many arrangements. He thought he would win if he could do it. Who would have thought that there were many heroes in this world.

The cheers of the Liao Dynasty camp were almost gone all night, and the Śrāvakas had been ten miles away. In the Han army camp, Zhao Xingde listened carefully and said in a deep voice: "It seems that the Liao Dynasty has already known the news that Wanyan Aguda had died." He sighed, and there was almost no news of blockade. It was not surprising that the Liao people knew about what the entire army knew. However, in this way, the morale of the Jin soldiers became even lower. The situation took a sharp turn, which made Zhao Xingde very troubled. His purpose was to make the Liao army and the Jin army both defeated the battle. Now it seems that they had to make some preparations.

"If the Jin Dynasty retreated and returned to Huanglong Mansion, both Suzhou and Kaizhou would face the threat of the Liao army directly." Xu Detai said worriedly that the Liao army might continue to attack Huanglong Mansion or send partial troops to attack the Han army. There is no possibility of defending the more than a dozen prefectures and counties that the Han army had just occupied.

"What are you afraid of? Liaogou is going to fight, so I'll fight him!" Gao Bolong stood up with his thighs.

"We can retreat to the north and avoid the sharp edge of the Liao army?" Xu Detai said.

"No matter how far you run, you still have to fight with Liaogou. You have been hiding around for a lifetime. I don't want to run away again!" Gao Bolong's eyes showed a strong sad look and looked at Han Ningshuang. He was known as the number one general in Liaodong, but he hid in the east and west for half his life. He would rather die while rushing to the battlefield than be chased by others like a stray dog, and die like a humble dog.

The tent was quiet, and Han Ningshuang frowned. It was easy to die in battle, but it was not easy to protect hundreds of thousands of Han people under the attack of the Liao army. Wanyan Aguda suddenly died suddenly, and the Jin army's powerful and powerful attitude towards the Han army was unclear. Now when the two armies were facing each other, if the Han army retreated rashly, it would be regarded as a hostile act by the Jin Kingdom. After discussing, the generals decided to watch the changes while preparing for a retreat.

After the military discussion, Han Ningshuang changed into a narrow-sleeved short jacket and long skirt, wearing a blue Qilin black cloak, and took Xu Detai and Gao Bolong to visit the injured soldiers. In the daytime battle, the main casualties of the Han army came from the encounter between the artillery battalion and the Liao cavalry. However, in just half an hour, the spearmen were killed more than 800 people, and more than 700 others were injured. In order to find out the artillery battalion, the cavalry also suffered considerable casualties. In addition, the Xia army's musketeers and artillery gunmen were killed in total, and more than 300 others were injured. After the battle, the wounded soldiers of the Han army and the Xia army were treated together, and the doctors accompanying the army carried out simple wound treatment and bandage treatment.

The area where the wounded was treated was a piece divided into lime powder. A large pot in the open space in the tents was boiled with salt water and a small iron pot was boiled with medicine for various purposes. When she stepped into the wounded, a look of compassion came from Han Ningshuang's eyebrows. She visited each wounded one after another, and when she saw those who looked unbearable in pain, she stopped and comforted her softly. Among the wounded Han army, those who were not seriously injured struggled to stand up and salute. Those who could only lie on the bed followed the marshal's figure with their eyes.

When he arrived at a tent, Xu Detai saw Du Chujiao standing outside, so he went to ask. It turned out that Zhao Xingde was also visiting the wounded. Han Ningshuang waved his hand, so that he didn't have to go to the tent first, and walked into the tent gently. Zhao Xingde was standing next to an injured musketeer. The man was stabbed in his thigh, with blood on the bandage, and stood up on the shoulder of the soldier, and spoke excitedly. It turned out that Zhang Jiandao thought his name was too rustic. He heard that General Zhao was a man of both civil and military and talented, so he asked the general to change his name to himself to avoid making people laugh in the future.

"The name of sickle is good. Killing enemies is like killing grass, which is very murderous." Zhao Xingde smiled slightly. Seeing Zhang Yan's face showing a disappointed look, he said, "Sickle is Liu, so I will call him Zhang Liu in the future, but the same meaning."

"Thank you, General!" Zhang Liu was overjoyed, and the soldiers next to him also showed an envious look.

At this time, Zhao Xingde saw Han Ningshuang walking in and nodded to her. Han Ningshuang smiled slightly. Zhao Xingde was able to visit the wounded after the war, and his behavior was natural, not as artificial as Wu Qi Shuan, which made her feel good. The soldiers in this camp were both soldiers from the Musket Battalion and spearmen from the Han army. After Zhao Xingde visited her one by one, he walked out of the camp together.

The night wind was cool, and the air was filled with the smell of herbs and blood. Compared with the noise coming from the opposite side, the Han army camp seemed very quiet, with the sounds of autumn insects being loud and weak. Han Ningshuang and Zhao Xingde discussed how to deal with the dilemma in front of him, and Xu Detai, Du Chujiao and others followed not far behind.

"What are Mr. Zhao's claims?"

"Don't be lucky, expand your army and prepare for war immediately." Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "Whether Kaizhou or Suzhou, the males who are strengthening the walls and clearing the fields, recruiting all victorious soldiers to expand the army, and the elderly, weak, women and children are ready to evacuate at any time."

Han Ningshuang looked around. Xu Detai and others lowered their voices and asked in a low voice, "The Liao army is mostly cavalry, coming and going like the wind. The people lead their families and no matter where they retreat, the Liao soldiers can chase them and slaughter them. Now the islands on the sea can only be used as temporary shelter. Now the villages have accommodated hundreds of thousands of people. They have just settled down, where can they go?"

"A few months ago, Li Jiawei Zhoushi inspected the area of ​​Chuanmen River north of the Yalu River, which was once the old place of the Bohai Kingdom. The Bohai Kingdom has the fermented city of Zhacheng, the cloth of Xianzhou, the cotton of Wozhou, the shroud of Longzhou, the iron of the city, and the rice of Lucheng. In addition, the "Book of Wei: Biography of Wuji" also mentioned that the country's prime ministers and the land of the country have a lot of millet, wheat, simmer, and sunflowers. They should have planted food. Moreover, the mountains and forests are dense, and they are surrounded by rivers and coasts. They can feed a lot of people by fishing and hunting alone."

Zhao Xingde said slowly that although the extreme north is bitter and cold in winter, it is better than staying in the south and waiting for people to take advantage of the situation. The northward Liaodong is, the larger the land is, and the sparsely populated it. The hundreds of thousands of troops in the Liao Kingdom are still acceptable. If you want to conquer the extreme north, the supplies will be a problem and it will be difficult to last. If you use it tactically and delay the previous period, if there are more Liao soldiers and horses in the northern expedition, you will retreat without food. If there are fewer Liao soldiers and horses, you may be defeated by the Han and Jin coalition forces. In the past, Emperor Yang of Sui and Emperor Taizong of Tang attacked a corner of the world, but still could not destroy Goguryeo. This is why the Liao Kingdom could not remove the malfunctioning malfunctions behind it, which is extremely beneficial to the Xia and Song Kingdoms in the south.

"The people retreating north can temporarily avoid their fronts and extend the supply line of the Liao army, so we can attack their supply line. In addition," Zhao Xingde said in a deep voice, "I will write to the General's Mansion to persuade the Guguo Mansion, and Andong and Anbei Army Division will send troops to attack the Xijing Road of Liao, threatening to go to Beijing, and forcing Yelu Dashi to retreat."

Han Ningshuang's eyes moved slightly. If Zhao Xingde could really convince the Guguo Mansion to send troops, the Han army would have a much greater chance of survival. Liaodong was covered with mountains and dense forests, and the land was vast and sparsely populated. If the Liao army wanted to completely eliminate them, it would have to maintain the scale of hundreds of thousands of troops. In this way, the roads of Shangjing, Xijing, and Nanjing would inevitably be empty. As long as Xia and Song sent troops, Yelu Dashi would inevitably return to the army and the pressure on Liaodong would be relieved. The Jin Kingdom was originally composed of a tribal alliance, and once defeated by Liao Kingdom, the power would inevitably be very weak. At that time, the Han army might be able to take the lead in Liaodong.

She looked around and pondered: "I'm sorry, the commander Zhao, who wrote a letter to represent the Han army. If Guanzhong could send troops to surround Wei to rescue Zhao, the Han army would be willing to follow the old rules of Shu and Dali to respect the Xia Kingdom as the truth. As long as you overcome the difficulties in front of you, the Han army will gain a foothold in Liaodong. In the future, the king's army will go out to Hangu Pass in the east, and the two palaces will issue an edict, and the Han army will obey the orders and attack the back of the Liao and Song dynasties, and help the king's army unify the world."

Xu Detai and Gao Bolong looked at each other. Although these words may not count, people will not stand without trust. Even if they are just verbal constraints, the more they owe, the longer they will be, the more they owe, the more they will be able to form a great reputation. Xu Detai sighed inwardly, the situation is like this, and those thoughts of competing with each other and competing for the Central Plains may have to be put aside. Dunhuang Chang'an is so far from Liaodong. If he could respect the righteousness and form his own country like Shu and Dali, it would probably be a good ending for the Han army.
