"There are nearly 100,000 troops in the hands of Cao Di in Jiangdong. Although the two sides stopped the troops and stopped fighting, General Zhao and General Han fought with the Liao gang for more than a month, Cao Di kept holding his troops and instigated the arrogant soldiers and generals to cause trouble every day and ask us for food and wages. His movements are very considerate." Cao Liangshi told Deng Sudao and the Li Society that Zhao Qi temporarily took the throne, the relationship between Chen Dong and Deng Su was eased a little.

The soldiers and horses in the hands of the three generals Zhao, Yue and Han were almost the same as those controlled by Cao Di. Therefore, when Xia State proposed to join forces to attack and Han Shizhong proposed a strategy to pursue the Liao army, Deng Su, Chen Dong and others felt it was quite considerable. They were worried that the overall situation would collapse due to the defeat in the battle, and that Zhao Yue and Han Generals were too severely damaged and lost the strength to check and balance Cao Di.

After the two families joined forces, Cao Di asked the Ezhou Prime Minister's Office to bear the food and pay for more than 100,000 people under his command. Although there was no other two families in the Song Dynasty, the Ezhou Prime Minister's Office was able to integrate the manpower and material resources of various prefectures and counties, but the sudden increase in the supply of these 100,000 people was difficult to satisfy the Ministry of War and the Ministry of Revenue to do its best. Just a few days ago, more than a thousand soldiers under the Xijing camp ran to Ezhou City, surrounded the Ministry of War to ask for food and pay, killed more than ten people, burned dozens of houses, and almost caused the consequences.

In a hurry, Chen Dong almost ordered the rebel army to be transferred back to Baoezhou. Finally, with Cao Liangshi's advice, he took the overall situation into consideration and only transferred the Henghai Army to the city to quell the rebellion. Han Shizhong ordered the navy to fire fire on the river to warn, and then ruthlessly killed more than a dozen leading riots, thus stabilizing the situation. After this fake play, the mutiny of the money, Deng Su became more wary of Cao Di. Originally, Deng Su and Chen Dong and others were not ignorant of Cao Di, but now they began to show it.

"I'm afraid of wolves in front and tigers in the back, so I'll fight a bird." Han Shizhong slapped the table, stared at him and shouted, "Cao Di's mob, give me 10,000 cavalry to flatten him." After the Navy's victory, Han Shizhong won the title of Deputy Envoy of Privy Councilor. His reputation was similar to Yue Fei and Cao Di, and he was slightly better than Zhao Xingde.

"I will discuss the matter of sending troops and attacking the Liao Kingdom together." Chen Dong's fist clenched tightly. After he was elected as prime minister by hundreds of county school priests, he had much more concerns than before. Since the Liao thieves invaded the south, they have killed very heavily. After finally gathering tens of thousands of soldiers and horses, the situation in the southeast has become a climate. There is absolutely no problem in defending, but he has to gamble on the strong enemy in a desperate manner, but he has a lot of concerns. He sighed, pondered for a long time, took out a roll of paper from his sleeve and handed it to Cao Liangshi: "The people of Liao Kingdom are strong and strong, and our dynasty have many soldiers. Instead of engaging in fish in the abyss, it is better to retreat and build a net. Yuanzhi has a strategy of training and raising troops. I have thought about it and have a lot of connections. You can also take a closer look."

Deng Su had long known Zhao Xingde's ability. Chen Dong said that everyone would like to take a look at it. He wanted to take a look first, but he did not avoid suspicion. He stood up and looked behind Cao Liangshi. The small line of calligraphy on the upper right of the paper was written as "All-Military System". Cao Liangshi slowly flipped the paper, and Deng Su looked one by one. Although Han Shizhong was surprised what Zhao Xingde wrote, he valued his identity and sat upright. He just speculated the pros and cons of this strategy on both sides from the expressions of the two.

Seeing this, Chen Dong took the initiative to explain to Han Shizhong: "The world is not a world of one person, but a world of the world. On the other hand, this sentence means that everyone in the world has the responsibility to defend the territory and serve as the country. The Yuanzhi strategy is secretly consistent with the Han and Tang dynasties' baojia method, but there are many differences. The Han Dynasty's prefectures and county soldiers and Tang Dynasty's prefectures and soldiers were not even called "all people". However, with the Yuanzhi strategy, every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world. The word "all" means to protect the people and not exception. The male men of the prefectures and counties must apply to join the army until their prime."

"It won't work." Han Shizhong was surprised and asked, "Who can eat military rations? Han hasn't read a few books, but he also knows that military rations are more expensive than elites. In the past, whenever he encountered floods, droughts and famines, the court had to provide relief and recruit disaster victims to serve as a wing army, and he had to choose strong people. Not all of them were needed. Besides, the males have joined the army, who will farm? How much military rations are needed, and where do they come from?" His face was incredible and incredible. Next to him, Cao Liangshi and Deng Su both looked solemn. After reading Zhao Xingde's handwritten arguments, Deng Su closed the door and pondered for a moment, his eyes opened, and a ray of splendor appeared, and he whispered: "Brother Cao, Yuan Zhi's intention is probably not just to expel foreign aggression." Cao Liangshi did not comment, turned back the beginning and read it from the beginning again.

On the other hand, Chen Dong continued: "General Han was concerned about it. However, this entire militia system did not recruit all male soldiers to join the army. Although male soldiers were responsible for recruiting and joining the army, each of them only had three years of joining the army. With these three years, they practiced the way of fighting in line and practiced the musket guns and spears. After three years of service, they returned to their original careers and only practiced fifteen days a year. Compared with the original Baojia method, the village soldiers only needed to serve for three years, and then almost did not delay their respective business. If the country had something to do, if the Liao Kingdom invaded the Central Plains in the south, all the soldiers from prefectures and counties were launched, there would be millions of soldiers in China." He paused, "Previously, those who were not strong and strong could not draw bows and shoot arrows, but now artillery and muskets are in the world. Ding Zhuang only needs to have the power of loading guns to educate the army. In this way, China will be more considerate of foreign aggression."

"After three years of training, he was released to the people. Even if he was re-enlisted, he would be a mob." Han Shizhong had an instinctive disgust towards this entire militia system. "When fighting, these mobs would be ineffective at all."

Cao Liangshi retorted: "Many of the soldiers in the Baoyi army were soldiers from prefectures and counties. They had not been trained for three years, right? The war was not very powerful." Han Shizhong frowned and increased his voice: "Shangshu Cao, you can't just look at those soldiers. Nearly half of Zhao Xingde's command were recruiting water bandits and bandits in the southeast area. For example, Luo Xianshi and Lu Mingyu, the huge bandits were the imperial court who went to sea to capture Gongwen and fought with the Southeast camp, and even the Xianxiang army could not match." Cao Liangshi said: "At that time, the treacherous party was in power, officials, forced the people, and opposed it. It was also a good thing that Zhao Yuanzhi could inspire them to serve the country."

The debate involved the generals of the Baoyi Army. Chen Dong coughed and pulled the topic back, saying: "The township soldiers were hasty and difficult to use, and Yuan Zhi also considered it. In addition to ordinary township soldiers, they also had to recruit elite soldiers. As General Han said, soldiers are more expensive than elite soldiers. If we use the national strength of our dynasty in our prime, we can recruit 100,000 powerful soldiers from all over the world who dare to fight. The court gave special benefits, with most of these elite soldiers stationed at the border, and a small half scattered in prefectures and counties to serve as officers and teach combat."

Cao Liangshi continued: "There are as many as one million soldiers in the prefectures and counties. If there is any trouble in the court, you need your Majesty, the Prime Minister, and the Privy Council to use seals together, so that the Privy Council can order the troops to be transferred, otherwise it will be a mess." He glanced at Deng Su, "If the power and treacherous control the court, do rebellious actions, and even Dong Zhuo and others do usurp the prime minister, and the county schools in each prefecture and county can proclaim wine and elect the prime minister, and the troops of the world can attack him."

Deng Su shook his head and sneered: "If a person with ulterior motives wins over most prefectures and counties, wouldn't he be able to do anything like that?" In this way, in addition to being able to mobilize a few elite soldiers at will, the imperial court will be able to control the prefectures and counties entirely rely on righteousness to maintain its control. As long as the Qingliu scholars can control the prefectures and counties, it is equivalent to controlling the military power, and they will have a try.

"If all the prefectures and counties in the world are silenced," Chen Dong said coldly: "If the Song Dynasty does not perish, it will be lawless."

"You" Deng Su didn't expect that Chen Dong, as the prime minister, would say such words. The scene became cold for a moment.

Chen Dong ignored it and said to Han Shizhong: "Zhao Yuanzhi also wrote a book to the book. Never let the Liao bandits retreat calmly. However, half of the Yangtze River is entirely dependent on these tens of thousands of elite soldiers. We must not make any mistakes. We hope that General Han will come up with a proper plan." Since the decisive battle on the river, the Liao soldiers attacked Hanyang very quickly. Zhao Xingde was unable to escape in the supervision of the war in Jiangbei. Chen Dong and others planned their military strategies and discussed with Han Shizhong. After the election, the forces of Jingdong Road and the Southeast Lishu were as strong as water and fire. It was just because the Liao soldiers were in a hurry to help each other. Han Shizhong was rough on the outside and fine on the inside, and was well-versed in the world. People in the Heli Society walked frequently, but Hou Huanyin, who was in charge of Jingdong Road, also regarded him as his confidant and minion. Jingdong Road had food and salary continuously transported from the sea every month, making the expansion of the Henghai Army like a tiger's wings, which was also an anomaly.

"This is easy to say." Han Shizhong agreed readily, but he didn't care much in his heart.

The four armies of the Song Dynasty were the most troops, but they were the most hostile to the Ezhou Prime Minister's Office. Yue Fei, Han Shizhong and Zhao Xingde each led the army. Although they all respected the Prime Minister's Office, they were all in charge. Zhao Xingde was definitely unable to interfere in the military affairs of the Henghai Army, and vice versa. Yue Fei was far away in Xiangyang as the Privy Council, and Zhao Xingde led the southeast camp to deploy. The two were not under Han Shizhong, so Han Shizhong could not make trouble and instruct them. The Privy Council was useless, and the pursuit of the Liao army was now the only major generals could do their own thing.

Apart from a river, the generals of the east city tower of Hanyang City gathered together in the southeast camp of Jiangbei. Over the past month, the Liao soldiers have fiercely attacked the fortress guarded by the Song army in Jiangbei. Zhao Xingde was in charge of Hanyang to dispatch troops and generals, fighting one by one, gradually erecting the authority of the generals. After the news of the Xia army and Zhen** capturing Xiangyang came, the momentum of the Liao soldiers' attacks gradually slowed down. Zhao Xingde breathed and immediately summoned the generals to arrange a long-planned pursuit plan.

"If the Prime Minister's Office, Cao Shumi and General Han can make up their minds to gather a large army and fight with the Liao soldiers, and the elite Guanxi forces will then raid their backs from north to south, most of the 200,000 Liao soldiers will be thrown in Jingxiang." A trace of regret flashed in Zhao Xingde's eyes. "If not, then the Liao army will attack the south and move south, and its rear route will be cut off, it will inevitably lead troops back to Henan. If we do not take advantage of the situation to pursue, we will be worthy of millions of unjust souls from all over the country."
