In the Shengzhou Official Hall, Han Qi took the official documents on the table and said to Fu Bi on the side: "Taiwei Di finally captured Lingzhou City! Since the Xingqing Mansion was broken, the world has been looking at Lingzhou, and some people are about to get sick!"

Fu Bi picked up the official document and looked carefully, and said, "Okay, after conquering Lingzhou, many things will be easy to do! Without Lingzhou, Dangxiang only had the foreign troops in Hengshan area. In a few months, it should be able to sweep them all."

Han Qi stood up, walked a few steps, and said, "It is no small matter to destroy Lingzhou now. Many things are equivalent to a year ahead of schedule. Hengshan cannot use 200,000 troops. The troops of Taiwei Di can be transferred to Hedong Road to help there."

Fu Bi thought for a while and said, "Yesterday, the Shufu official document said that given that there were too many wars in recent years, we would not fight against the Khitan. As long as we could take the opportunity to win one or two key states, such as Shuozhou, even if we were very successful, we would not need the help of Taiwei Di."

Han Qi shook his head: "Now is the weakest time for the Khitan. If you don't take the opportunity to fight on a large scale, then when will you wait!"

Fu Bi said: "But the court was not prepared enough and destroyed Dangxiang, and it was really powerless to fight. Shengzhou had accumulated savings for several years, and was consumed all when it attacked the Western Regions last year. A few days ago, the branch office issued a message saying that it was transporting some food and grass from Jingdong Road to support the next battle against the Khitan. More food and grass were gone. I could only wait a few years, and with the savings, I could fight with the Khitan and restore Yanyun."

Han Qixin sighed unwillingly: "The Khitan civil strife is a rare opportunity. How can I miss it? Isn't it a pity!"

Fu Bi said: "It's actually nothing. If Dangxiang is destroyed, the court can concentrate troops against the Khitan. Moreover, from the battle to destroy Dangxiang, it can be seen that Di Taiwei's more than 200,000 troops had a problem with combat power. I don't know what Lingzhou is. Judging from the Liushu troops, they are still much different from the Hequlu army. If there are a few years to re-train, it would be a good thing."

After hearing this, Han Qi said nothing. He took Zhao Zi and rushed to Xingqing Prefecture for more than 3,000 miles from Xingxingxia. Although this result was lucky, it has to be said that the army of Di Qing was in trouble. The ones he led were Liu Jiuji 50,000, and Zhao Zi's 30,000 were very obvious. Zhao Zi's army basically didn't have to worry about him. As long as he set a big strategy, they could complete it themselves. Liu Jiji's army was different. The generals below almost never stopped doing all kinds of things.

It can be said that the Liu Ji's troops are incomplete forms of Zhao Zi's troops and require large-scale training. Since the division of troops with Di Qing, Liu Ji has made many changes to the army, and it is still the case. You can imagine how Di Qing's troops look.

Sighing, Han Qi sat down again and said to Fu Bi: "Since you don't fight with the Khitan, you can only take Shuozhou first according to the Shufu's intention. Shuozhou and Daizhou are across the mountains, and it is the most convenient to attack from there. However, the Khitan and the dynasty have been prepared for many years, and the guards there are so strict, so it is not advisable to attack from Daizhou. The Privy Council's meaning is to let Hequ Road march and attack its side and back."

Fu Bi said: "I was thinking about the feasibility that the Privy Council mentioned during this day. Hequ Road attacked Shuozhou, one was to cross the mountains and set out from Shengzhou, which was about 600 miles away. The other was to start from Tanglong Town, pass through Bitouzhai, and go to Shuozhou for about 200 miles. There was a railway in Tanglong Town, and it was not too far from Bitouzhai, so it seemed easier to walk from there. However, I saw the meaning of Privy Council, and I intended to send troops from both directions."

Han Qi said: "The meaning of the Privy Council is that since it does not fight against the Khitan, we should first recover the middle tribe. Starting from Shengzhou for 600 miles, most of the mountains passing by are small tribes. When we got Hequ Road that day, Taiwei Du moved some tribes and gathered into villages nearby. But there was never a shortage of the tribes in the mountains. The Privy Council means that the army first occupied these small tribes and sent troops calmly."

Fu Bi nodded: "The Shufu means that he may be afraid that after occupying Shuozhou, these small prostitutes will cause trouble in the rear. Spring is coming soon, and we can send troops into the mountains to let these small prostitutes obey the court. However, how to attack Shuozhou needs to be cautious. Shufu asked us to discuss the strategy in detail, and it seems that we are very cautious about this matter."

Han Qi smiled and said, "This time, Taiwei Du is in charge of this matter. His character and strategy should also know that he will not act arbitrarily. In my opinion, Taiwei Du's intentions, if he seizes Shuozhou, he will hit the target with one blow. Another is to prepare the rear in advance, and not occupy Shuozhou on the front line, and the rear of the foreign troops will cause trouble. This is simple. The troops all the way from Hebin County to clear the place, not to mention attacking Shuozhou and clearing the foreign troops in the mountains. The troops that really attack Shuozhou and travel west from Bietou Pass, it is best to reach the city of Shuozhou in one or two days."

Fu Bi nodded: "This arrangement is good. However, the Shufu attaches so much importance to this matter, so we will summon the generals and discuss it together. The way to do things on Hequ Road is to let subordinates know and come up with ideas in advance."

This is Du Zhongxiao's habit when he was on Hequ Road. As long as there are conditions, he will let the participating generals and officials discuss matters and think of difficulties in front of them. This is a habit in memory. He has plans in advance and summarizes it afterwards. Every time he does something, it depends not only on the result, but also on the process, and let the participating people summarize the experience and lessons. Fu Bi has been on Hequ Road for many years and has become accustomed to it.

In the Privy Council, Du Zhongxiao read Di Qing's memorial and sighed softly: "It can be regarded as conquering Lingzhou. These days, countless officials in the court have accused Di Qing of the long-term attack on Lingzhou. I think his life is very uncomfortable."

After saying that, he took the official documents and went to the Privy Councilor Jia Chang to discuss the matter.

When he met Jia Changchao, Du Zhongxiao said, "Taiwei, just got the news that Di Qing's troops broke through Lingzhou. According to the report, they were gathering troops and preparing to attack Yanzhou. At the same time, they were conducting a written word on the Xia'an period of Fuyan Road, asking him to send troops immediately to attack the Dangxiang Army in Hengshan."

Jia Changchao nodded repeatedly: "Okay, okay, Di Qing surrounded Lingzhou for more than a month, and finally got out! The court originally thought that he could not conquer Lingzhou before winter. After leaving Lingzhou, Dangxiang's affairs would be easier."

After saying that, he ordered Du Zhongxiao to sit down and said, "I think I can order Xia Anqi to immediately send troops from Suide's army to the north and Yan Wuding River to attack Dangxiang Yinzhou. Yinzhou is the fundamental place of Dangxiang. As long as it is taken down, it can be considered a great victory."

Du Zhongxiao said: "Yinzhou and Xiazhou are the place where Dangxiang rose, so they are naturally not comparable to other places. However, Liangzuo is now in the capital, and most of the princes and ministers surrender. It is hard to say how much Dangxiang people there are fighting spirit."

Jia Chang waved his hand: "The battle in Lingzhou was so difficult, so how can the people in the Dangxiang period think? As long as they do not surrender to the court, the army will attack and all they take will be covered! Di Qing's army is more than 200,000 troops, which cannot be stopped!"

Du Zhongxiao said: "I am thinking about this. Di Qing's troops were blocking their troops in Lingzhou for more than a month, and the generals and soldiers were all resentful. I am afraid that when they march, they would vent their will and kill more. After conquering Hengshan, there was the court place where they would kill too much, and it would be difficult to manage in the future."
