"Zhang Qing, but there is still news about Dingzhou and Jiehe?"

"If you want to go back to your Majesty, the Hebei Xuanfu Department of the Jiehe River came to report yesterday. Xuan Shuo Wu Haogu personally led 20,000 infantry and cavalry to capture Hanjia Fort along the Sanggan River. In addition, the Majia Fort and Liujia Fort that had been captured before, they captured three cities in a row within three days, and have now advanced ten miles away from Wuqing County. It is reported that the Khitan king Yelu Yanxi is now stationed in Wuqing, and his troops are no less than tens of thousands of troops under his command. It is not easy for Wu Haogu to fight like this in the face of the army led by the Liao master.

As for Dingzhou, because there were a large number of Beiluyuan stalkers near the city of Zhou, the message was not delivered. Since the day before yesterday, no message has been delivered."

Zhang Shuye's words were almost the same as what he said half an hour ago. Before Zhao Ji went to court this morning, he also said the same thing.

Zhao Ji was obviously a little uneasy about the ongoing war.

On the one hand, all the good news came from Jiehe River. First, a bloody battle in Jiehebei City was fought in Jiehebei for one day, and more than 10,000 Khitan Palace troops were repelled, 600 armored heads were also killed, more than 200 Liao soldiers were captured, more than 700 war horses and more than 500 armored leaders were seized!

As long as officials who know a little about military affairs know that the data reported by the Hebei Xuanfu Department is very valuable! The "armor head" that was cut off is with a helmet head, and it is impossible to kill good people and make achievements. Moreover, there are also alive prisoners, and war horses and armor were seized!

This shows that the troops of the Xuanfu Division of Hebei have really achieved a great victory with great value! At least thousands of Liao army Gongmen.

The Liao army then retreated all the way, and the step-by-step advancement of the Hebei New Army also illustrates this point.

But no one would believe that Wu Haogu could completely defeat Yelu Yanxi's tens of thousands of palace cavalry with 20,000 infantry and cavalry. The victory in the first battle was only a temporary victory, and perhaps it was the trick of the Khitans!

Therefore, almost no one in the court believed that Wu Haogu could use 20,000 people to capture Wuqing County, let alone directly attack Xijin Prefecture City.

Therefore, another plan proposed by Liang Zimei, the Dingzhou Road pacifier, was to transfer two cavalrymen in the direction of the Border River to Dingzhou Road to participate in the war, which was approved by most court officials.

However, Zhang Shuye and Wang Bing, the heads of the Dujun Massachusetts, did not agree with Liang Zimei's plan to talk about the war on paper.

Of course, they did not dare to publicly sing opposites to the court officials, so they could only put forward different opinions in private.

"But only a few thousand to ten thousand Northern Barbarians, and the Han army is the main one, why did they surround Dingzhou City so much that it was impossible?" Zhao Ji frowned and asked, "Don't Liang Zimei have three generals on hand? There are 15,000 soldiers alone!"

Three generals with 15,000 soldiers were basically full. Liang Zimei had at least 30% of the vacancies. In addition, some soldiers who could not get on the battlefield for various reasons, it would be nice to have 8,000 soldiers now. But even so, people should not be trapped in Dingzhou Prefecture City as a turtle!

"Zhang Qing, give Liang Zimei another cavalry, can he defeat the invading Liao soldiers?" Zhao Ji asked again.

"If the two generals and heavy cavalry arrive in Dingzhou, the Liao soldiers should retreat on their own."

"Retreat yourself? Why?"

"Your Majesty, isn't this obvious?" Zhang Shuye said, "The two generals in Hebei are armored cavalry, which are used to fight for battles, while the Liao army has a large number of light cavalry that can be used to fill the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the horses of the people of the city of Dingzhou, and they should escape.

If more than 10,000 Liao Han troops fight against more than 10,000 armored cavalry, they will definitely lose! The Liao army commander is not a fool and will not fight such a battle of defeat."

"That's right." Zhao Ji nodded, "Then we will transfer two infantry generals to Liang Zimei. There are 25,000 combat soldiers. We can drive the Liao soldiers away, right? Let's mobilize them from Zhendingfu Road."

The garrison of Zhendingfu Road pacifier was Zhendingfu City, which was not too far from Dingzhou City. Moreover, the border between Zhendingfu Road and the Xijing Road of Liao Kingdom is not long, and it is still in the Taihang Mountains, making it difficult to achieve a breakthrough. Therefore, the four generals placed on Zhendingfu Road are actually used to prevent changes in Hedong and occupy the Taihang Mountains.

There was no warning from Daizhou on Hedong Road, which borders Zhendingfu Road, so the soldiers on Zhendingfu Road can be mobilized to Dingzhou Road.

However, there are still many empty spaces and old and weak soldiers on Zhendingfu Road. It would be great if the two generals could pull out 5,000 combat soldiers. Including them, Liang Zimei's command only had 12,000 combat soldiers, which was one-third less than the eighth battalion of the Liao guards' personal army!

However, Zhang Shuye did not dare to tell Zhao Jiming about this situation.

"Your Majesty," Zhang Shuye asked, "Who should I command such a five elite general? Ma Yong, the chief commander of Dingzhou Prefecture Road, has never fought a war in his life and is not suitable to command the army."

"Well," Zhao Ji nodded, "Then transfer Zhong Fu as deputy envoy of Hebei Xuanfu, Dingzhou Road, Zhendingfu Road, Zhengdingfu Road, immediately rushed to Zhending, led two elite troops to Dingzhou, and commanded the troops of Hebei West Road!

In addition, I will hand over the steps of the camp map drawn by myself to Zhong Fu, and ask him to set up the formation according to the map, and be sure to advance slowly. The Dujun Mailing Command will also formulate a corresponding combat strategy as soon as possible!"

"I received the order."

"Pictures of Steps to Camp" is a "former map", but unlike Zhao Ji's ancestors who like to draw formation maps, the formation map of this Emperor Genghis was not a random painting and had no practical value.

In fact, Zhao Ji's formation picture was drawn by him based on the report by Wu Haogu. After the "Damingfu Conference", Wu Haogu reported his method of "building a tough village and fighting a stupid war" to Zhao Ji, and attached a sketch.

Zhao Ji created this "Picture of Camping Step by Step" based on Wu Haogu's description and sketch. The picture shows a camp that overlooks the camp. In the blank space in the picture, Zhao Ji also stipulates the specifications of some hard camp facilities. The camp wall should be eight feet high and eight feet thick, and can be built with rammed earth or sandbags. The trench is eight feet deep and two feet wide. In addition to the trench, a fence wall should be built to guard against enemy horses.

...

Just when Zhao Ji wanted to use the method of forming a tough camp and fighting a stupid war to deal with the 30,000 guards who were Ma Renwang, Wu Haogu was looking at a construction site and a brigade of cavalry and infantry unfolding next to a construction site five miles north of Hanjia Fort!

The method of "building a tough village and fighting a stupid war" is not used by Wu Haogu to fool people, but can really be used in the strategy of Xijinfucheng.

After capturing the castle Hanjia Fort built by the Han family in Yutian by the Sanggan River, the Zhaojia Fort that belongs to the Zhao family in Zhenzhou is placed in front of Wu Haogu.

Zhaojia Fort is less than four miles away from Wuqing County. It is a village built on the water and with a wharf. It is different from Majia Fort, Liujia Fort and Hanjia Fort that were unguarded before. There are more than a thousand Liao troops defending this Zhaojia Fort. Less than three miles north of Zhaojia Fort, there is a camp where the Khitan army stood across the Sanggan River, and to the north, it is Wuqing County. In addition, there is a Xiaojia Fort opposite to Wuqing County.

The Khitan Palace division, which had less than 60,000, now relies on Wuqing County, Xiaojiabao, Zhaojiabao and a camp sandwiched between Zhaojiabao and Wuqing County, put on a stance of being strictly guarded.

In addition, a large number of far-distance horses were scattered out, distributed on both sides of the Sanggan River, threatening the two wings of the Wuhaogu army.

Wu Haogu's response strategy is to win over the little local tyrants in the Nanwuqing area while using castles and hard villages to compress the Liao people's activity space for the horses to stop their horses from far away.

The 6,000 cavalry in his hand cooperated with the heavy infantry to act as engineers and civilians who built the city.

"Shishuai Xuan, if you play like this, I'm afraid we won't be able to win Wuqing County by next spring!"

Wu Haogu put down the distance tube, glanced at Tan Zhen who was talking to him, and smiled faintly, "Then take down the entire Wuqing County next summer... There is no need to worry about this at all, just take it slowly.

There are almost thousands of Yan land tyrants in Wuqing County. If they don’t conquer them one by one, their territory will be empty. So you can’t be anxious and have to take your time. One by one, you can build the walls of the trough one by one. Every time you build a place, you can investigate the land, divisions, horses and other situations of the small land tyrants, register them, and take their hostages back to Jiehe Shang City to settle down."

There are about 10,000 square kilometers of land in Wuqing County. The land that has been reclaimed has not been 10 million mu, but there are eight million mu, but there are no records in the Liao government.

Of course, Wu Haogu would not allow such a situation, so he had to take advantage of this opportunity to send troops to find out the situation. Of course, taxes will not be collected. However, military service accounts must be established. Thousands of local tyrants must provide at least 2,000 cavalry soldiers, and auxiliary soldiers and horses must be provided to serve in Jiehe Market in turn.

In addition, Wu Haogu must also understand the situation of "bored land" in Wuqing County. These "bored" lands can be used to resettle new knights. If millions of acres of land can be obtained, three or four thousand more knights' homes can be resettled.

Therefore, Wu Haogu is not in a hurry to end the battle between Wuqing now.

If the battle between Wuqing is over soon, the territory here will become a county and county of the court. If Wu Haogu wants to make arrangements, it will not be so easy.

At the same time, Emperor Yelu Yanxi of the Great Liao Dynasty was watching Xiao Fengxian in the temporary palace in Wuqing County, and the horse people were looking for the good news.

Xiao Fengxian besieged the military cities of Guangxin and Ansu's army, and even fought many Caogu, which made a lot of gains. The horse people became even more powerful. They broke into three people and seized three counties in Peiping, Wangdu and Tang County. Not only did they plunder a large number of property, but they also captured tens of thousands of people in the Song Dynasty. This was a bargaining chip for negotiations with the Song Dynasty!

But now the Song army is not bad at Wuqing County. They have captured three castles and advanced all the way to the city of Wuqing County. Their tens of thousands of troops are actually forced to retreat, and they can't even raise the courage to fight!
