"What? Even Mi Yuanhui and Yang Duzhi can defeat the Khitan?"

"How is this possible?"

"It must be that they both have a false reputation, and the real commander is still the ones who are the ones..."

Wang Bing, Yang Keshi and Yang Kebi, who rushed to the inner hall of Xuanfu Department, were all shocked when they heard that Mi Youren and Yang Jian led their troops to defeat the Khitan.

This matter is too ridiculous! Mi Youren is a literati and doesn't even talk about painting and writing. How can a war be successful? As for Yang Jian, he is even more irresistible. He is just a eunuch who serves people, not Tong Guan, and a military eunuch like Tan Zhen. When will he defeat the Khitans? What are the Khitans now? People bully them?

Tao Jiefu held the document written by Mi Youren, frowned, as if thinking about something.

"The specific command is indeed a military opportunity," Tao Jiefu said, "but there was no confidant of the Youzhou Army who went to fight this time. Mi Yuanhui said that because the Youzhou Army's military households and some of the knight households had just divided the land and needed time to resettle and reclaim, they were not called. They just asked Cao Yongyi, Zuo Qigong and Yu Zhongwu to lead 25,600 troops to Juyongguan."

"That's so small? Or the powerful soldiers of Yan land..." Yang Keshi, who followed Gao Qiu, who died in battle and the Liao people, was now Tao Jiefu's general military aircraft. "How many Liao people are there?"

"No less than 30,000... The number of defeats currently is no less than 30,000, and the total number may be more! Among them, 5,000 beheaded, more than 2,000 prisoners were captured alive, and 5,000 Han soldiers (the leading command of the Korean enterprise, including more than 5,000 auxiliary soldiers) surrendered to the Youzhou Army. Mi Yuanhui's letter said that the Liao people in Wuzhou (Guihuazhou) could not defend for too long! If the Liao lord did not send reinforcements, Wuzhou City would be broken within ten days."

"The enemy is really a Khitan?"

"Most of them are Khitans," said Tao Jiefu, "mainly people from Wenzhong's Mansion and King Xi's Mansion... are considered Khitans."

Yang Keshi took a breath.

What's going on? It's so difficult for me to fight with the Khitans. How could Wu Haogu win if he fights casually?

It would be fine if the elite Youzhou army defeated 30,000 Liao soldiers, but now they are just a group of fence-bearing soldiers who surrender, why is it so powerful?

The fence-bearer was living a life with the Liao people. He was willing to fight for his life if he defected to Wu Haogu? Is Wu Haogu the true emperor? No, he seems to be the emperor, he wants the world to be the emperor...

"It seems that the Khitans have become weak!" Yang Kebi said, "Xuanfu, let's drive our troops to Dingzhou to fight against the Liao people?"

Yang Kebi, who is also from the Gao Qiu system, is now the first general of the model new army. He is now leading his troops to guard Hejian Prefecture City.

Because most of the small martial officials in the Model New Army were the original house slaves and warriors, the "five-year palace soldiers" below were also infected and they all thought they could make money on the battlefield, so they were very morale when they first set out.

But Yang Kebi is not Gao Qiu, he doesn’t have a real estate certificate!

What's worse is that the first model new army general with strong troops did not even have a chance to fight, and he played all the way.

Now that the Liao people have finally become weaker, is it time to send troops? Even if there is no house to earn, you can always make a bounty, right?

Tao Jiefu thought, "It seems that the Liao soldiers are exhausted from fighting for a long time, otherwise they would not have been defeated so easily."

Tao Da Xuanfu also made the judgment that "the Liao mutiny became weak", because Mi Youren did not tell him that the matter of lending usury can create combat effectiveness, which is also a strange story! Mi Youren is really embarrassed to say that he is a scholar and an official from generation to generation, and he needs face. How can he tell usury?

Therefore, Tao Jiefu also took it for granted that the Liao army must have lost its combat power due to the continuous combat and the impact of the fall of Yan land. It is not surprising to have such an idea. Because Tao Jiefu really understood a lot of military affairs and knew that the Liao army was characterized by the unity of military and civilians. Only a few Han guards' personal army were separated by military and civilians. Other troops, including Gongmen, were also troops without pay.

This army that does not pay wages and has to bring some horses and equipment is a bit like the government soldiers in the Sui and Tang dynasties, and cannot fight a protracted war.

This Liao-Song War has lasted for more than half a year. It is not surprising that these "self-employed Liao" have lost their morale and their combat power has declined. Moreover, the wealthiest Nanjing Road, the Liao Kingdom, has almost been lost. How big a blow to people's morale will be to know just by thinking about it.

Once people's hearts are in chaos, the combat effectiveness of the army will be even worse.

However, Tao Jiefu disagreed with throwing the Kaifeng army of the three generals onto the western front to attack the fallen dog.

"Since the Liao army has lost its combat power, it is impossible for Dingzhou, Qizhou and the northern area of ​​Zhending Prefecture to stick to it." Tao Jiefu said, "Let the three armies of Zhending Prefecture, Dingzhou Road and Gaoyang Pass Road be launched step by step, and the fortress advances and slowly recover the territory. The Liao people will do this so that they will not lose."

"Then we..." Yang Kebi suddenly felt a bad feeling.

"Master," Tao Jiefu said to the king, "Take the first general with you, and go to Cangzhou to meet with the second general there, and then head north to Qianfu Village and Qianning Village in Qingchi County."

Qianfu Village and Qianning Village are located at the intersection of Tianjin Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Cangzhou, directly under the Song Dynasty, and under the jurisdiction of Tianjin Prefecture under the jurisdiction of Qingzhou and Youzhou Town. It is also good to say that it is a front-line base.

"Shishuai Xuan, we want to..."

"Supervisor Xuan, the main force of Youzhou Army has not moved yet!"

"Yes, if you want to start a provocation, will you defeat the Liao army first?"

Wang Bing, Yang Keshi, and Yang Kebi were all anxious.

The core unit of Youzhou Army, 10,000 armored cavalry have not moved yet! Now, the infantry of two generals will be sent to the door of their house to scare whom? What if the fight really starts, 10,000 infantry against 10,000 armored cavalry? It won’t be flattened!

Tao Jiefu waved his hand, "I can't wait! Youzhou is a must-have for the Liao people... Once the Liao people are defeated, Youzhou Town will lose its restraint. It will be even more dangerous to want to enter Qianfu Village and Qianning Village at that time!

Zhengchen, remember that after entering, you should immediately build a city defense and stockpile food and grass. You should also be on guard day and night and not relax a little.

If Yuyang is really inspiring to come, Qianfu Village and Qianning Village will become the Suiyang City of our Song Dynasty!”

This is really a miserable life! If you want to be a house slave, you have to guard the Suiyang City of the Song Dynasty... Although the battle of Suiyang in the Tang Dynasty blocked the pace of Anshi's rebels' expansion into the Jianghuai River, the soldiers and civilians who guarded the city were finally wiped out because they tried their best to eat.

Moreover, the Anshi rebels' ability to siege the city is comparable to that of Wu Haogu? Wu Haogu may not be able to fight in field battles, but they have written "Theory of Engineers" and "Theory of Firearms", and are experts in siege battles! Tongwancheng and Yanjingcheng were easily captured by him, and can Qianfu Village and Qianning Village still be defended?

...

The news that two new Song army generals stationed in Hejian Prefecture and Nanpi County will enter Qianfu Village and Ganning Village will be spread to the Jiedu Castle outside Tianjin City as soon as possible.

"Zhongfu, you're here just right..." Wu Haogu was about to find someone to discuss countermeasures, so the general army and Ma Zheng hurried into the White Tiger Festival Hall, with a happy look on his face, so he asked, "Why are there any good news?"

"The military newspapers in Zhuozhou, the Liao soldiers were shrinking in a large scale, and Liu Yanzong's cavalry were placed outside Yizhou City!"

Liu Yanzong was the eldest son of Zhuozhou Observer, the governor of Zhuozhou, and the eldest son of Liu Xiao, the Duke of Zhuo County. He was the Zhuozhou Army's army. The Zhuozhou Army was the main force of the West Road of Youzhou Army. Now the main force confronting the Liao army in Yizhou is the Zhuozhou Army.

In addition, the Zhuozhou Army and the Zhao family's Luanzhou Army have a very strong foundation (both of them have been the governor of Youzhou and have many children in the guards' personal army in Nanjing Road, Liao Dynasty), and are also powerful soldiers in the Youzhou state army.

"The Liao people should retreat." Wu Haogu took it for granted, "We should dispatch cavalry too... Both generals should be summoned! Let the fifth brother take one of the generals to Zhuozhou, and wait for the Korean Qixian's troops to arrive before attacking Yizhou.

In addition, the Liu family should have some rewards for attacking Yizhou! However, this reward cannot be given by the Republican Mansion. After all, it is the Han family who took over Yizhou. It is better to allocate Laishui County of Yizhou to Zhuozhou."

"Then will the Republican Prefecture acquire territory in Yizhou?" Ma Zheng asked again.

"Just take down the Zijing Pass."

The Republic of China does not mean that there is no territory among all autonomous prefectures and counties. For example, Yuguan (Shanhaiguan) in Yingzhou, Gubeikou of Tanzhou, Qigou Pass in Zhuozhou and other dangerous passes are all sent by the Republic of China to garrison. The military capital of Guizhou and the frontier areas north of Duanyunling in Wuzhou (Guihuazhou was originally named Wuzhou) will also be under the jurisdiction of the Republic of China. Guihua Prefecture, that is, Tieshan of Wuzhou, will also be under the direct jurisdiction of the Republic of China according to the agreement. Now, Yongxing County, where Fengshengzhou Prefecture is located in the Liao Kingdom, and nearby Lishan County, are located, because it is an important road to Datong Prefecture, it will also become the direct jurisdiction of the Republic of China.

"Zhongfu," Wu Haogu then handed the secret report that Lin Chong had just sent to Ma Zheng, "This is just sent by the intelligence room, do you know?"

The intelligence room is a subordinate of the General Military Command. The secret report sent to Wu Haogu would of course copy it to Ma Zheng.

"I already know." Ma Zheng frowned slightly, "King, it seems that the day when the Khitan defeat is the time for the court to cause trouble."

"The day when the Khitan was defeated?" Wu Haogu looked at Ma Zheng, "Do you really think the Khitan is going to be defeated?"

"King, the Khitan is so poor that he still has to be undefeated?"

"It's hard to say..." Wu Haogu shook his head, "The Khitans have never won the battle with us, but they have never defeated the battle with the court! Now Tao Jiefu has used the three best generals in his hands to deal with us, I'm afraid that the elite of the remaining 8 generals will not be able to deal with the Khitans!"

"But the Khitan is in a desperate situation in Hebei and it is impossible for him to stay for a long time."

"Maybe it's not Hebei?" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "Can it be Hedong?"

"Hedong?" Ma Zheng frowned, "Yanmen Pass? Maybe... But Hedong is not far from Shaanxi and Shuofang. There are Western Army and Shuofang Army, so it should be fine?"

"I hope this is the case!" Wu Haogu thought for a while, "I will write a document in the name of the General Military Command and inform the court of the Dujun Command. Let the court have some worries and save us from causing trouble."
