Ji Yi, who returned from Tianjin Prefecture, finally enjoyed the treatment that only Zhao Ji's most confidant minister had received, and entered the palace overnight!

It was quite a taboo to open the palace gate at night before Zhao Ji ascended the throne, but Zhao Ji, the brothel emperor, always liked to sneak out and have a romantic life, and over time he got used to it. Later, because of the establishment of the Dujun Jimai Department, Dujun Ji encountered heavy military affairs, and it became a common practice to report to the palace.

So today, Ji Yi, who was busy traveling from Hebei, entered the city at dusk and was asked by Xuan in Qionglin Palace after dinner.

Zhao Ji summoned Ji Yi in the side hall of Chongzheng Hall, the main hall used to place the map platform. When Ji Yi arrived, Zhao Ji was looking at the map together with Cai Jing and Zhang Shuye, and He Zhizhong, who had just replaced the right prime minister (Zhang Shangying was released from the outside and sentenced to Haizhou), and Zheng Juzhong, the official of the Privy Council, was looking at the map together.

I don’t know if it was because of Wu Haogu’s open separatist rule and Gao Qiu, and Zhong Fu was defeated one after another. Now Zhao Ji doesn’t believe in the martial arts ministers very much, but he likes to point fingers at the frontlines more and more.

Seeing Ji Yi coming in, Zhao Ji hurriedly called him to come forward and ask: "Ji Qing, has Wu Haogu agreed to send troops to Fengshengzhou?"

"Report to your Majesty, he agreed."

It turned out that Ji Yi and Yang Jian were thinking about it and "providing suggestions" to Zhao Ji, the civil servants of the Song Dynasty liked to offer suggestions. Anyway, they had no ability to execute, so they just let the generals go to trouble. If they succeed, they had a great contribution, but if they failed, they had nothing to do with them.

"Will you do it?" Zhao Ji asked.

"It will definitely happen!" Ji Yi said, "Wu Haogu did not want the court to cease war with the Khitan, so he naturally could not send troops to Yizhou. Then attacking Fengshengzhou and seizing Guihua Iron Mountain is the best choice."

Wouldn't it be better if you don't fight?

Zhang Shuye frowned slightly after listening to Ji Yi's analysis.

Ji Yi has a good strategic vision, but fighting does not rely solely on strategy, but also on tactics and combat.

Wu Haogu's main force is powerful, but the number of armored cavalry and heavy armored infantry is of course pursuing decisive victory in field battles. For him, as long as he can fight on open terrain, victory is very guaranteed, and even if he fights on narrow terrain, he will have great confidence in winning.

Therefore, the Youzhou Army will inevitably make arrangements for the purpose of seeking field battles, and attacking the castle in the valley of the southern Fengshengzhou will only consume Wu Haogu's limited troops, so even if he agrees, he is still perfunctory...

"Okay!" Zhao Ji clapped his hands, "I can finally drive the Liao people out, and there is no need to severely hurt and punish them. Just drive them away. Zhang Qing, do you know?"

"I obey the order." Zhang Shuye quickly answered.

The ministers in the hall knew what Zhao Ji thought. He had to keep the elite soldiers from Hebei to guard against the ambition of Wu Haogu. At the same time, he also hoped that Yelu Yanxi could keep the troops deep into Hebei and continue to fight with Wu Haogu.

In this way, his Song Dynasty will be stable!

"The army of Zhendingfu Road, Gaoyangguan Road and Dingzhou Road must be cautious this time." Zhao Ji continued to instruct, "Every step by step, the fortress advances, slowly approaching Dingzhou from the west, south and east sides. No one can compete for merit, no one can advance rashly, and no one can fight in a strait."

Zhao Ji's arrangements were becoming more and more specific. If it weren't for his timidity, he would have wished he would go to the front line to supervise the battle himself.

"Your Majesty, after expelling the Liao bandits, how should the three armies of Zhending Prefecture, Gaoyang Pass and Dingzhou be arranged?"

The question was Cai Jing. In his opinion, the Liao bandits would definitely be driven away. Now they are stubborn and are simply putting themselves in a dangerous place. Tens of thousands of troops rely on the narrow mountain road between the Feihukou of Zijing Pass as a retreat. If you are not careful, the entire army will be trapped in a Jedi!

So as long as Wu Haogu is bluffing in Fengshengzhou, the government army will take steps forward, and the Liao people will retreat.

Zhao Ji breathed: "Since I was carefully arranged in Xin'an Army, Bazhou, Baoding Army, Xiongzhou, Ansu Army, Guangxin Army, Baozhou, Dingzhou, and along the Yellow River in the north, be sure to build cities, dig deep trenches, accumulate troops, and do not give Youzhou an opportunity to take advantage of it.

If I could be so peaceful, it would be fine. I just gave him half of the county land, but Yan land finally returned to the territory of the Song Dynasty... I am worthy of my ancestors at all!"

Zhao Ji was quite good at comforting himself. Wu Haogu took away the land of the Song Dynasty, but was only part of Qingchi County, Cangzhou, and it was originally a barren land.

In any case, Yan land returned to the territory of the Song Dynasty! If we add the territory of Lingxia, Hexi, Anxibeiting, and Sanfoqi Strait, the territory of the Song Dynasty is now so vast that it can be almost comparable to the prosperous Tang Dynasty.

At least from the map, Zhao Ji is still a hero of his generation, and he is definitely Emperor Genghis!

"Your Majesty, that Yan land..." Cai Jing asked carefully.

Zhao Ji smiled bitterly: "What can I do? Don't cause trouble." He thought for a while, "The Chinese New Year is approaching, so I have to send someone to comfort the soldiers in Yan and let Mi Youren go there?"

Zheng Juzhong reminded: "Your Majesty, there are still a few days left in the Lantern Festival... I'm afraid it's too late."

Zhao Ji waved his hand: "It's better to be late than not.

In addition, let Mi Youren seize the friendship. The Privy Council has ordered the Youzhou Army to supervise the Youzhou Army. What do you think?"

Everyone present was stunned, and then he heard Ji Yi shouting: "Your Majesty, the wise! Sending a military supervisor means that the Youzhou army is not a rebellious town, but with Mi Youren's military supervisor, Wu Haogu will definitely accept it."

According to the standards of the Tang Dynasty, whether it is a rebellious town is to see whether it can accept the military supervisor of the court, and the second is to see whether there are any military governors in their inheritance.

Wu Haogu is still young now, and it is still early to pass the throne and inherit the hereditary family. Moreover, most of the families of the vassal governors who were hereditary in the Tang Dynasty had no good end. As long as Wu Haogu was not stupid, he would not let his descendants inherit the hereditary governors. Otherwise, what would he do to establish a republic system now? What would he say to choose the wise and capable?

Therefore, there seems to be room for transformation in Youzhou Town in the future.

...

"Master, Mi Yuanhui is coming."

As soon as Lin Chong walked into the White Tiger Festival Hall in the Jiedu Fort, he told Wu Haogu, who had just obtained a secret report, who was looking through an election plan drafted by He Tianran.

Of course, elections are about choosing the virtuous and capable!

Both Tianjin and Youzhou Town will elect the Council and the Senate within the next two months, and then the Senate will elect the consul of Youzhou Town, and the Tianjin Municipal Council will elect the municipal officials.

Of course, the result of the election will not be unexpected. Because there is no opposition party, Youzhou Town was defeated by Wu Haogu. The opposition either ran away or died. Anyway, there will be no right to vote or the right to be elected. There are many people in Tianjin who are dissatisfied with Wu Haogu, but they will not oppose Wu Haogu during the election because they are all busy running away to Shanghai for development.

Therefore, the first ruler of Youzhou Town has been established by Wu Haogu himself, while the first Zhishi in Tianjin has been established by Su Dalang.

Elections or something are just going through the motions.

However, even if it is a formal election, it is the first time in the end, and it still needs to be handled seriously.

In addition, the "Youzhou Town Constitution" is also being drafted by professors from the Yuntai Academy of Law! This is the fundamental law, equivalent to a country's constitution and must be passed by the Senate of Youzhou Town.

After the "Constitution" is passed, two important laws, the Criminal Code and the Civil Code, will continue to be formulated. The social order and economic order of Youzhou Town will also be constructed based on these two codes.

In Wu Haogu's view, this election and subsequent legislative work are even more important than the upcoming four-year war in Daguan.

When Wu Haogu, who was reading the copywriting, heard Lin Chong's report, just snorted: "What are he here to do? Or the deputy envoy of the military supervisor?"

"It's a military supervisor, and it has also been ordered by the Privy Council."

"Haha," Murong Wangyou, who was in the White Tiger Festival Hall with Wu Haogu, smiled, "This is a good thing, which means that the official family doesn't want to break up with us."

Lin Chong said: "Yes, the court will focus on dealing with the Liao people in the future, and eleven generals will advance step by step towards Dingzhou. King, this is a specific arrangement."

"Have you found out?" Wu Haogu took a copy of the official document from Lin Chong and looked at it. It turned out that it was a copy of the document issued by the Dujun Commander to the General Military Office of the Hebei Xuanfu Office. There was a very detailed roadmap for troops number, deployment and promotion.

"Is it the turtle formation again?" Wu Haogu shook his head while looking. "There are eleven generals, why is this so?"

"This was personally deployed by the official." Lin Chong said, and handed over another letter to Wu Haogu. "King, this is the news of Tokyo Road. Yelu Yanxi wants to confer Wu Yashu as the governor of the Haidong Army in Dongzhou."

"Dongzhou Haidong Army? Liao Kingdom has this state army?"

Murong Wangyou smiled and said, "No, maybe it's a newly established one, right? Where is it?"

“In the eastern and western boundaries of Goryeo.”

"What?" Murong Wangyou was stunned, "How is it possible? The Western border is the location of Pyongyang, Xijing, Goryeo! How could it be sealed to Wanyan Wuya Shu?"

"Whose news?" Wu Haogu asked.

"It's the King of Light."

This rebel from the Bohai Da Clan is still alive! His master, Bao Jianjun, hasn't heard it for several years, and I don't know if it's dead?

The King of Light also changed his mission and finally found a good job in Liaoyang Prefecture. Of course, he was very psychic.

"That's not wrong!" Murong Wangyou snorted, "It's a trick to divert disaster to the south. Uya Shu probably can't stop the temptation of Goryeo. After all, if you take Goryeo and have a daughter, you can only cross the sea with us... It's probably going to take two or three years."

"Two or three years?" Wu Haogu smiled, "Can the Goryeo people carry it for so long?"

"Why can't it?" Murong Wangyou said, "Although Goryeo is poor, its ambition is still alive and will not be easily destroyed. Otherwise, the Liao Kingdom would have annexed Goryeo long ago."

Wu Haogu nodded and smiled, "Then let's get in the middle too!"

"The king wants to join forces with the daughter to destroy Goryeo?"

"Destroy? No, no, not destroy Goryeo." Wu Haogu smiled, "but protect Goryeo!"
