After processing the desk documents, Han Ningshuang personally inspected Tieshan Fort. When she returned to the mansion, she always felt that there was nothing to do. She thought carefully and found that a few days ago, she would either visit Li Ruoxue or Li Ruoxue came. The two of them had a rare leisurely feeling when they got along. In the huge Han Army General's mansion, there was only one person who could speak some words to Han Ningshuang in the boudoir. Thinking of this, Han Ningshuang felt strange. She didn't want to think about these annoying things, so she stood up. Standing in front of the window and looking out, the vast world was all in her eyes, and her heart was filled with pleasure.

The hills and wilderness in Guannan of Suzhou are still a scene after disaster. The air is filled with the smell of gunpowder, and the originally white snow is trampled all over the ground. The Han army is hoarding materials and preparing to build a few more forts. According to Zhao Xingde, if the Liao army uses wooden shields and giant cannons and other tricks, it is still dangerous to conquer the isthmus. If a few more forts are built after Nanshan City and cross-firing cannons are used to assist each other, the difficulty for the Liao army to enter Guannan will be exponentially increased. Therefore, while strengthening Nanshan City, the Han army is also preparing to build a new fortress.

Compared with before winter, the population structure of Suzhou Guannan will undergo tremendous changes. There will be no people here, and the Han army generals and a small number of relatives stationed. Most of the people settled in the former land of the Bohai Kingdom in the far north. From the Liaoyang Shenzhou where the Liao Kingdom stationed heavily to the Han people's settlement, there are more than 2,000 miles apart. If the Liao army really wants to work hard to expedition, this long supply line that passes through the deep mountains and dense forests will be an excellent target for the Han army's light cavalry to harass the Han army. Due to war and revenge, this radius of two thousand miles has become a deserted place. The Han army will not cultivate these places, let alone

We were advised to cultivate these places. The Han people who settled down in the north tried to plant some cold-resistant merchants in the short spring and summer. Due to the relationship between water, soil and climate, whether the seeds sown in the first year are still unknown, but there is always hope. More young and strong people left the farming industry with uncertain futures and were doing things like logging, burning, charcoal and smelting iron. The weapons hoarded by the remnants of Fang La of the Southern Dynasty were gradually replaced by Liaodong. The fur, wood and smelting iron from Liaodong were transported to the south for food to fill the belly, and the Han army itself was also in short supply.

Around the ruins of Guannan Camp, some soldiers were carefully searching for the supplies left by the Liao army. In the past few days, the bones of the Han army soldiers who died were transported to the outer island for burial, while the bones of the Liao army were burned. The clothes of the Liao army were important for the Han army. They peeled off the pulp and washed them. Each battalion rushed to ask for them. The dead war horses were collected and made into dried meat, and the leather was made into nitrate and kept in the arsenal. Swords, bows, arrows, horse harnesses, etc. were distributed immediately without damage. The damaged ones could be repaired and repaired. If they could not be repaired, iron, beef tendon, wood and other things were removed and put into the arsenal.

Throughout the winter, the Liao army lost 20,000 to 30,000 troops under Nanshan City. Now that the sea ice melts, Nanshan City has endless support, and it is even more difficult to expel the Han army from the south of Suzhou. In recent days, the Liao army in Guanbei has begun to build a wall of pass, as if it wants to change the strategy of permanent surrounds and long-term difficulties. In addition, Zhenhai Prefecture and Fuzhou also stationed many Liao troops, which are in a horn with the Guanbei Camp. The Liao army built warships in Fuzhou and Zhenhai Prefecture respectively, and built iron barrel cannon bases on the docks to guard against the Han army naval forces.

The news of Yelu Dashi's withdrawal from his troops also came, which was expected by Han Ningshuang. After this expedition, the elite soldiers and generals of the Jin Kingdom went to 78 to 10. As the Liao army continued to burn, kill and loot throughout the winter, the population of the Jin Kingdom decreased by more than half. The Huining Prefecture, which was besieged by the Liao Kingdom, was in a position to be in a position to ask women to climb the city to help defend. In addition, Wanyan Xie and Wanyan Zongbi were respectively awarded the title of Jurchen King in the north and south. For the Liao court, the future trouble of Wanyan Jin Kingdom was no longer worth worrying. Yelu Dashi even felt relieved to leave Wanyan Xie in Huanglong Mansion, in the Liao army commander Xiao Olila Under his surveillance, he used his name to surrender and appease the Jurchen tribe. The Southern Jurchen king Wanyan Zongbi was still led by Yelu Dashi to accompany him. Nearly 30,000 surrendered soldiers and more than 200,000 Jurchens were moved south to nearby prefectures and counties in Chenzhou, Liaoyang. The Jurchen tribes and Bohai people lived together, and the elderly, weak, women and children cultivated the arable land abandoned by the Han people. All the strong men were recruited as garrison soldiers. The Jurchen camp of the Tokyo Road was nominally a subordinate of the Jurchen kings in the north and south, but in fact they were disbanded and used as a supplement to the infantry of the Xi army, and they were sent to Nanjing Road, Zhongjing Road, and Xijing Road to guard the various places, and those who stayed on Tokyo Road were very small.

"Song and Xia are at odds in Xijing Road, and Xia is mobilizing Guanzhong Group Training again. Yelu Dashi cannot ignore it." Han Ningshuang thought, "The military strength of Liao, Song and Xia are extremely strong. Once the war begins, it will be long. Yelu Dashi cannot give up the opportunity to compete for the Central Plains. In this way, Liaodong will have a rare opportunity to breathe."

At this time, the personal soldiers reported that a messenger from Xia State asked for a meeting. Han Ningshuang was slightly surprised. Generally speaking, even if the Guguo Mansion wanted the Han army to do something, they would convey the meaning of Guguo Mansion to him through Li Sihai or Zhao Xingde. What happened to the messenger from Xia State who came to meet him directly?

The messenger walked in, Han Ningshuang opened her eyes wide in surprise, and she lost her voice: "Chen Kang?"

Chen Kang was wearing an ordinary narrow-sleeved military robe, with a lot of wind and frost on his face. His eyes were burning and he said tremblingly: "Ningshuang, I thought I would never see you again." Seeing Han Ningshuang's face full of surprise, he stepped forward and stopped before he came to Han Ningshuang, and whispered: "When I heard that the Liao army captured the Iron Mountain Fort General's Mansion, I thought I would be separated from you forever from now on, and almost jumped into the sea. Later, I thought, even if I was about to die, I should be closer to you, or to avenge you. I only realized that the General's Mansion had moved to Tieshan Island long ago. This is really... great, Ningshuang, I saw you again."

Chen Kang was originally a calm and smart person with appropriate behavior. Otherwise, the King of Kang would not have given up many noble children of the Kang family, but wanted Chen Kang to be his prince. However, caring was a mess. Because he pretended to be a messenger, Chengying Camp naturally would not report the situation in Liaodong to him in detail. He heard from him along the way, but could not ask too much, and mistakenly thought that Han Ningshuang had died, and he felt as if he was martyred. It was still after he arrived in Liaodong, when he heard about the arrangement of the Liao army camp in Guannan at night, he realized that Han Ningshuang was still alive and was immediately ecstatic. At this moment, he finally saw Han Ningshuang with his own eyes, and Chen Kang was a little uncontrollable. His expression was extremely painful at first, but later he was happy and danced.

Han Ningshuang looked at Chen Kang and whispered: "You shouldn't have come. As the prince of the vassal prince, the guilt of leaving the fiefdom privately is very serious." She was silent for a moment and said in a deep voice, "I have implicated you. I will forget the ominous person, Prince Kang."

"What crazy words are you talking about, this is impossible," Chen Kang looked at her and said with great certainty: "I can't forget it." He said, and went forward to hold Han Ningshuang's hands. Han Ningshuang took a step back and leaned against the window. The wind on the mountain made her hair slightly chaotic. Seeing this, Chen Kang stopped and said in a deep voice: "I won't sit in that position of King Kang. As long as you are in Liaodong, I will stay in Liaodong."

His words were sincere, but Han Ningshuang just looked at him, her eyes were moved, but more of them refused. She bit her lip and was about to say some decisive words when a noise suddenly sounded at the door. The personal soldiers shouted loudly: "Person Li, Marshal Han is meeting guests, you can't go in!" Li Sihai said in a louder voice: "I'm looking for this guest, let me in." It seemed that she pushed the personal soldiers, and then the door opened.
