Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie have arrived in Taiyuan. Looking at the walls of Taiyuan City from afar, they were surprised by the magnificence of this city. It was no less than that of Liaoyang, Tokyo and Xijin, Nanjing.

"How many days can I stay in the city?"

"I don't know anything else, I only know that there is enough food and grass."

"The ordinary method cannot be defeated."

Yelu Yixin's attitude was to stop when he was good. His Highness Shangfu's confidants and the army were too long and far away from the country, so it would be impossible to prevent someone from getting into bad thoughts later.

But this does not mean that the land will be given up. Although Taiyuan Prefecture will not occupy it, Daizhou wants to exchange the substances from the six prefectures of Xiping with the Song people, and it is impossible to lose it if you say it.

Although it is far apart, Xingling can still be regarded as a frontier barrier between Heishan Rivers. Both Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie knew that their palace guards had been placed in Yelu Yixin at the foot of Heishan Mountain and would not give up the land at the foot of Helan Mountain.

Restoring the border to the beginning of the war and receiving satisfactory compensation from the Song people was not a loss for the Liao Dynasty. For Yelu Yixin, it even more allowed him to reduce more resistance when he ascended the throne.

For Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie, only if Yelu Yixin ascends the throne, or if he can do Zhou Wen, Wei Wu, and Jin Xuan last, will they have a future. Otherwise, it will be the result of the destruction of the family in the end.

"The enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we fight, the enemy retreats and we chase." Xiao Shisan sighed with emotion. He had never commanded such a war, nor had he faced such an enemy. "To put it, these sixteen words are more useful to the entire people of the Great Liao Dynasty."

‘The crowd is not worth a joke. The skill of the donkey is too late, and the skill is only this.’

This is the comment that Zhang Xiaojie just heard that Han Gang was preparing to launch the Hedong Rebel Army. But when he saw the so-called "The Imperial Forces of the Anti-Bandits" spread by Han Gang in Hedong, he could no longer say such words.

It was not that the content inside scared Zhang Xiaojie, but that he saw Han Gang's statement in that booklet. It was to assure all the people of Hedong that the court would not give up with the Liao people.

No matter what, whether the things mentioned in it can be effective is one thing, and what kind of stimulation it will bring to the people of Hedong is another thing.

What did Han Gang say in this book "The Imperial Bandits" spreading Hedong? Don't fight against the invaders, but delay with constant harassment, and don't let the robbers leave easily with the stolen goods, otherwise there will be no peace in the future. The longer the delay, the more reinforcements the Song army will arrive. In the end, it will stand an overwhelming advantage.

In the book, Han Gang promised all the people of Hedong that he would definitely make the bandits pay their blood debts. This is to link his face and reputation with victory.

This also means that the Song Dynasty court will never settle the matter, and it is even difficult to achieve any advantageous situation. In order to continue the imperial rule, the Southern Dynasty court must take full care of the face of the disciples of the Yaowang. As long as the crown prince of the Song Dynasty has not yet grown up, even if the two governments make a decision that is unfavorable to Han Gang, the queen who is in charge of the power behind the curtain can force Wang Anshi and Han Jiang tore the edict and eat it.

Of course, the premise of all this is that the situation in Hedong will not continue to deteriorate. Hangang looks very confident if he can place the head of the commander's mansion in Taigu County. Although Taigu County is quite far south, Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie still look solemn when they look south at the same time.

Either in the camp, a sudden arrow appeared in the middle of the night; or when marching, a few arrows and stones flew over the road. These were no longer two, and more than one or two were injured. With Han Gang's open promises and teachings, more and more rural soldiers and even the people of the Song people began to harass the Liao army with their best methods.

Although it is just a disease of ringworm and leprosy now, almost everyone in the Song Dynasty has potential ability to attack. If they really attack them, even if the elite troops are like the Daliao, they will suffer more or less. If there are too many mosquitoes, they can kill the cows!

To solve this problem, sufficient troops are the top priority.

Unfortunately, there are only eight thousand cavalrymen coming to support through Feihu Xing. For the goals that Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie want to achieve now, it can only be said that there are some small improvements. And there will be no more.

The brigade of cavalry marched from narrow mountain roads, which was far more difficult than the same number of infantry. Advancing in rugged mountain roads, cavalry would not be faster than infantry, and the food consumed was five times or ten times the food and grass - the specific number depends on the ratio of war horses to cavalry - and as long as the war horses still want to continue fighting, it is impossible to carry food and grass.

The previous reinforcements from Hebei consumed all the food and grass stored in the military camps in Feihu Xing, and it was impossible to get more aid from Nanjing Road in a short time - whether it was food and grass or soldiers. The remaining troops on Xijing Road had to restrain the Linfu army of the Song people, and they could not be moved lightly.

Now that almost all the troops that can be used on Xijing Road have come, you have to look further apart. Not to mention the distance, just the adjustments and arrangements of personnel and military forces that are indispensable to stabilize the place after the mobilization of people and horses, it is impossible to simply pull out people directly. None of the sacred tribes on the grassland is a fuel-efficient lamp.

Even though Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie were in high positions, they could not think of a solution, so they could only spread their hands and smile bitterly. Who made the war happen suddenly and beyond the expectations of both sides? From the beginning, the Liao Kingdom had no intention of mobilizing the whole country. Now there is a hasty transfer of troops, so how many can it be transferred?

"It's better to recruit the troops from the Bu tribe together." In the tent, Xiao Damo proudly gave his suggestions to the two head coaches, Yiwen and Wu.

This young man among the Xiao Shisan clan was in a state of pride. The looted spoils filled his camp, and the achievements of Daizhou's first merit also made him show the limelight. This excitement that lasted for many days made him ignore the sudden anger in Xiao Shisan's eyes.

"The idea is not bad. If the Shubu Dawang Mansion can transfer 20,000 or 30,000 troops, the Song people will be finished in Hedong." Zhang Xiaojie smiled and nodded, but sighed: "It's just that they are too far away. No matter how soon it will be a month later. If the Song people's reinforcements are successfully defeated this time, there will be no need for those disobedient alien races to do their best. If our army is defeated by the Song people in turn, then the Shubu people will be in a big trouble."

"How could I be defeated by Daliao?!" Xiao Damo's voice was loud, "Even if I can't win, I can still draw. At that time, the people who came to stop the slogan will come in handy."

Zhang Xiaojie narrowed his eyes from the side and almost sneered. Xiao Shisan wanted to kick the tribe member who made him look embarrassed: "How many times have you ever lost the copper plates been raised?!"

Xiao Damo was confused by the training, and then ran away with a fright. Xiao Shisan stared at his back fiercely, turned around, and smiled embarrassedly again, "I made my husband laugh. There was no one in the family who was so smart that they were as stupid as a cow. Apart from daring to fight to the death, there was only the benefit of obedience."

"Isn't it enough to be obedient?" Zhang Xiaojie laughed, "There are not many kids in my family who are willing to obey."

Yelu Yixin's messenger came later on that day, brought Yelu Yixin's instructions, and also brought him a little news that he was shot by arrows in the mountain road after passing Shiling Pass.

"I got seven or eight arrows along the way. I was not a strong bow, but a commoner of the Song people." The messenger spoke very calmly, as if it was nothing big.

Has the booklet from Han Gang been passed to Xinzhou? Xiao Shisan had an unconcealed doubt in his eyes: "It's only been a few days."

"Enough." Zhang Xiaojie said in a deep voice.

"Where did you meet?" Xiao Shisan glared at her eyes, "These thieves should be wiped out immediately!"

However, the messenger from the north shook his head: "This is not an urgent task at the moment."

This is a good answer. Xiao Shisan and Yelu Yixin are not prepared to change too much. Yelu Yixin is still in Nanjing and has no plans to come to the west. Xiao Shisan and Zhang Xiaojie both think that His Highness Shangfu should have another plan. However, since they have not disclosed it to them, the two of them have no intention to guess. Now that they are concentrating their troops and occupying Taiyuan is the most important thing.

But at this time, another personal soldier rolled in: "The forage outside Sanjiao Town was burned!"

Xiao Shisan jumped up, and Zhang Xiaojie almost couldn't sit still.

The forage farm outside Taiyuan City was abandoned by the Song people one step earlier, and the more than 200,000 stones of hay, straw beans inside were burned to pieces. Although it was expected, after hearing the news, Xiao Shisan still wanted to hang all the guards in the city on the trees by the roadside.

Sanjiao Town is located at the southern exit of the mountain pass between Taiyuan and Xinzhou. It is a transportation hub. It is called a town, but it has a defensive ability that is not inferior to that of a military camp, which is equivalent to a city. The town has a large amount of food and grass, nearly 300,000 stones. Some of them were originally in the warehouse and some were recently robbed. This is one of the confidence that Xiao Shisan dares to continue to take the idea of ​​Taiyuan.

"I don't know what you plan now?" the messenger asked in a low voice.

Xiao Shisan thought for a moment, and then said, "As long as the food and grass are snatched, there will be no shortage. But the missed opportunity is difficult to recover. We will still annihilate the reinforcements of the Song people according to the plan between us. Without reinforcements, Taiyuan City will be destroyed without conquering. As for the so-called righteous army, it will not be a big deal. How could Hangang put his hope on them?"

If reinforcements are allowed to come, as long as one group of reinforcements is defeated by the future Song army, the defenders in Taiyuan City will soon collapse without fighting. If they march at the same time in different directions, there will inevitably be a sequence. As long as there is a gap of two or three days, it will be enough to solve any Song army.

"This is not an urgent task." The messenger continued to repeat the sentence.

"What is an urgent task?" Xiao Shisan's unhappiness was already reflected on his face.

"What are the instructions of Mr. Shang?" Zhang Xiaojie became a little more sensitive.

"Before I came out, Shang's father only asked one question." The messenger looked at the two important officials in front of him, Yelu Yixin's right-hand man, "Where is Han Gang?"
