The battle situation in Hedong has always touched the hearts of millions of soldiers and civilians in the capital.

As news of the fall of Daizhou came, many wealthy families in Tokyo began to prepare for the south to take refuge.

As Han Gang took office as the Hedong Commander, and as one group of imperial guards stationed in the capital went north to Hedong, the battle between the mountains and rivers inside and outside finally stabilized, and the balance of victory began to tilt towards the Song Dynasty over time.

However, even after the Taigu Victory that reversed the downward trend, no one thought that the Song Dynasty's official army could completely defeat the invading Liao army. Most people only hoped that Hedong could curb the Liao army's long-term entry like Hebei and defend until the Liao army had to retreat.

Later, the Hedong official army and the Liao army were in a stalemate on the front line of Xindai, which just met people's hope, which forced Yelu Yixin, the powerful minister of the Liao Kingdom, to send people to Kaifeng for peace talks.

The change in the situation was in line with everyone's wishes, but no one expected that there would be another chance for the official army to take direct Datong Prefecture. The Liao army's disastrous defeat in Wangzhuang in Dazhong made the officials and people in the capital absent-minded for a while, and at the same time, many people saw the possibility of recapturing the Youyun Prefectures west of the Taihang Mountains.

However, the situation changed unexpectedly again. Under the leadership of Hedong coach Han Gang, the Song and Liao sides reached a peace agreement in a blink of an eye.

A few days ago, there was a rumor in the capital that the emperor deliberately forced him to be the king, so Han Gang gave up his plan to conquer Datong for the sake of future prospects.

Among the people, this rumor has not spread, and the majority of people are still grateful, but in the court, there are many people who believe this statement.

Some officials felt that Han Gang was too selfish, which made the Song Dynasty lose a great opportunity. Others felt that not only did not lose land before the war, but also recovered a Wuzhou. It was not a loss, and it was very profitable. However, in their words, they still regretted not being able to make more.

But there are still voices defending Hangang.

"The strength of the government army has reached its limit. We carry heavy loads and travel far away, exhausted for three days, and died in nine days. The government army has been in Hedong for several months, waiting for the morning of day and the table is too warm. Even if we rest in the camp for a long time, how can we sleep in the middle of the night? The track is used to help the track, but how can the track get to Datong?"

"Why did Han Shumi defeat the Liao bandits at Taigu City just after he arrived in Hedong? It was not because of the help of ghosts and gods, but because the Liao bandits went deep into Hedong for thousands of miles and were already scarce. However, because of the news from Han Shumi, he mustered up his remaining strength to go south overnight. But for Shumi to block outside Taigu City."

"It only takes one feather to defeat the thieves in Qiandun City. Now, on the other hand, the official army is tired, and the Liao thieves are waiting for their hard work."

"The Gaoliang River is not far away, and the defeat in Yizhou is even closer."

"Why does this sound so familiar?" Cai Wei squinted his eyes and said that he had heard the words from across the flower wall.

Xing Shu lifted the wine pot and poured wine for himself and Cai Que's son, and smiled and said, "Zong Rulin's original words in the newspaper have changed a few words. How can he not be familiar?"

"Zong Ze?" Cai Wei snorted from his nose with disdain.

The young scholar who was born in Liangzhe and traveled to Hedong before the war has become a columnist of Hedong wars. His analysis of the situation in Hedong is much more than others has become a military master whom everyone admires.

The names of Zhonglizi and Chu Zhonglian were even spread to the border. It is said that more than one border minister had a courtesy to invite him, hoping to hire Zong Ze as his aide. However, Zong Ze refused to be busy with his studies and had no time to be a clone.

But at a higher level, the views on Zong Ze are completely different.

In the eyes of many court officials, the famous young strategist in the capital was just a soundtrack, just that someone wanted to say something inconvenient to say in the capital as his identity.

"It's just that Han Yukun has a good dog, and his reputation is chasing Wuhou, Wang Meng and Zhao Han Wang [Zhao Pu]. If it weren't for looking at Han Shumi's face, he would have driven him out of the Imperial College." Cai Wei sneered, and he didn't care that the sound could be heard by the neighbors.

Xing Shu took a sip of wine and ticked his mouth.

Zong Ze's repeated comments on Qiyun Express and Zhuri Express have made his analysis of the battle situation in Hedong very precisely. Otherwise, it would not have convinced so many people. However, the details in his text actually confused the differences before and after, making Hedong's victory not so amazing.

After the war, it was very simple to analyze the cause of the defeat of the Liao army, but before the war it was judged that the Liao bandits had become the last of their strength, and at the same time they did not hesitate to use themselves as bait - it is difficult to make such a decision, and it is difficult to make such a judgment - this is the difference between a famous general and a mediocre person.

But Zongze's words were not to belittle Han Gang's achievements, but to Han Gang's own way of self-deprecating. With his identity, he could not learn to be self-deprecated, and he could only be self-deprecating.

"In fact, He Zhengtong's statement is similar to Zong Ze, but he still feels that Hedong still has enough energy to go to. If Hebei and Shaanxi cooperate, it is not impossible to seize Datong."

Cai Wei put down his wine glass and frowned: "He Zhengtong? Zhang Zihou wants to recommend him to teach in martial arts, where is the fault? [Note 1]?"

"It's him, indeed." Xing Shu nodded.

Although He Qufei is far less famous than Zong Ze, he is also known for his military knowledge in the Imperial College. He was just emerging and was introduced to Zhang Dun's network, and there was a motion to recommend him and Zong Ze to be a professor.

"The martial arts professor can be a martial arts professor or a civil servant, but he was recommended without any meritoriousness and could not be admitted to the literary class. I don't know that they are willing to be with the Chi Lao and be a popular palace in the third class courtyard." Cai Wei's lips twitched and smiled gloatingly.

The members of martial arts are not mainly military generals, and the "entourages have not participated in the class and the family members of the Caoze people are allowed to be retained." Those who do not have the rank of military officers, are not allowed to receive the support of the officials, and even ordinary people with white bodies. As long as they are recommended by the Beijing officials, they can enter the martial arts, and at least get the opportunity to be assessed and enrolled.

However, it is because of the need for the support of civil officials above the Beijing officials that many capable military officers were unable to gain martial arts. Instead, some incompetent people were recommended to school by relying on their family background.

Even if martial arts graduates can be selected as the lords and lords of small forts, the children of generals with foundations can be promoted without going through martial arts. No martial arts graduates without foundation dare to hand over important positions to them. Since the restart of martial arts in Xining in the fifth year, it has been nearly ten years since the martial arts students who have graduated one after another have not performed well in the frequent wars in the past ten years.

"These two people's huge reputations are nothing more than empty talk afterwards. If they respond to the enemy and defeat the thief, they will be as simple as talking. They don't need to work hard every day. They sit in the political affairs hall every day, for fear that the situation of the war will change... They are just Ma Su, Zhao Kuo and others."

"Xing Shu has also heard of it. Even Han Yukun himself is also saying: Retreat the enemy and expel the enemy, not a strange plan, but only a heart."

Cai Wei thought about it and nodded vigorously.

He had read the documents of exchanges between the Privy Council and the Hedong General Office. What should we do when we encounter thieves, how to guard passes, how to march, how to transport grain. Every clause proposed by the Privy Council points out the details to pay attention to during the war. The officials in the General Office and Han Gang's own aides were responsible for one part and gave the court a convincing answer.

From marching to food and accommodation, from weapons to armor, from bedding to medicine, just to arrange food, clothing, housing and transportation for 100,000 people can make people crazy, and in addition to this, there is also a need to fight.

Xing Shu was no better than Cai Wei, and he had a good father and good father-in-law. Moreover, for his reputation, he had rarely been to Cai Que's Prime Minister's Office recently. Therefore, he had never had the chance to see the documents delivered back and forth by the Privy Council and the General Office. However, when Xixia was rampant, the court said and said that he had seen those old documents - one command eight, and report the command eleven, just to prevent autumn, and what he was thinking was meticulous.

But this is not the remote control of the front-line generals in the Privy Council for the formation map. Although Emperor Taizong and Jin Shang both like to play this trick, in the Western Palace, wise officials still account for the vast majority, and they will only indicate the directions that need to be paid attention to. The court will not interfere with the specific tactical arrangements, but will entrust them to the front-line generals.

"I won't talk about this." Seeing that Cai Wei was not interested in talking about this, Xing Shu changed the topic. "Now that the war is over, I don't know which one of Lu and Han can enter Beijing first. I heard that Lu Shumi is already in operation."

"Han Shumi is not inferior." Cai Wei smiled and did not conceal what Cai Que said to him in private. "He asked the court to immigrate to Xin Dai to protect the northeastern part of the river as soon as possible."

Xing Shu also heard about this.

Han Gang used the price of no longer pursuing traitors to force Yelu Yixin to give up on Wuzhou. Hedong had an extra passable road on the northern line, and the Lin Prefectures in Hexi were connected to the Hedong local area.

However, from another perspective, from then on, Hedong had an additional strategic location where heavy troops were needed to set up defense. Especially the direction of Wuzhou, a large part of the mountain trend was to open the door to the north. In fact, it was not easy to defend it.

There is only one way to do this - to rift the people.

Daizhou and Xinzhou urgently need more immigrants. Wuzhou also needs them.

"In Han Yukun's words, how many households does Xin Daiwu need?"

"At least ten thousand households."

The mountains of Wuzhou gathered, and the only land available was the valley on the riverside. It was very small in scale and could only be divided into two counties at most. Even the motion to withdraw the state and reorganize the army might have been put on the agenda of the Zhengshi Hall. However, no matter how small it is, it is a land of a state, which added another member to the 400 states of the Song Dynasty. Without a household registration of 3,000, it could not maintain normal production and life.

On the other hand, after the invasion of the Liao thieves in Daizhou, Xinzhou suffered a great loss of population. Not to mention that it was necessary to return to the old prosperity, just to restore the situation of self-sufficiency in the state of food and grass, it was necessary to increase the household registration of six or seven thousand.
