Chapter 1512

"Your Majesty, I am in Jinzhou, the capital of Northern Liao, and I wish the Emperor a long life and a great Song Dynasty country for thousands of years. I will leave my head, and I will bow my head..."

With the red light on his face and the excited and loud voice of Su Dongpo finished reading, the excitement and cheering sound that had been uncontrollable in the entire court almost broke through the hall.

The emperor Zhao Xu, who was unable to get himself, even hit the imperial case three times one after another, and the slap turned red, as if he had no pain.

"God bless my Song Dynasty, my ancestors bless my Song Dynasty... Father, Taizu, Taizong, ancestors, you have heard that the military front of my Song Dynasty has already set foot on the Zhongjing Road of Northern Liao. This is a great victory that has never been seen since the founding of the Song Dynasty..."

The emperor was already in tears and was sobbing that he raised his red slap in excitement and shouted loudly. The ministers wiped the tears from their faces and bowed to the steps, singing praises endlessly.

Even Wang Yang and others, who were worried about expanding too quickly, knew very well at this moment that they were not disturbing everyone's excitement, and they were also bragging the magic snails here and flattering the emperor.

"Issued the world to tell the world that the general of the Northern Liao Jinwu Guard, the commander of the East Road, and the general of the Tokyo Road, Yelu Yuji feared the power of the Great Song Dynasty, offered lands in the nine provinces, and surrendered to our Eastern Army of the Great Song Dynasty..."

The emperor wanted to share the joy with the people. At this time, no one would think about stopping them. The Song Dynasty has always liked the king and the people to share the joy.

The news soon spread the palace ban, which could almost be described as the joy of the entire Tokyo Bianliang city. Whether it was the new party, the old party, the military boss, or the Empress Dowager in the deep palace, it was difficult for a long time to calm down after hearing this news.

The emperor even announced that he would pay homage to the ancestral temple three days later, and five days later, a grand lantern festival was held in Jinmingchi to enjoy the people...

On that day, the emperor was in the hall, and the civil and military officials were all feasted. The emperor rolled his eyes and was carried back to the harem.

However, after only a few drinks, Wang Yang grabbed Su Dongpo, who had always been greedy for wine, Zhang Qing, who was so excited that the rosacea was red, and three masters from the Three Yamen.

The six people got together again, just because of Wang Yang's words. Even if they were able to win a great victory, if they could not strengthen their strength in time, then this seemingly huge victory would become a laughing stock for the people of the world.

"My Song Dynasty is currently in the Liaodong area. There are 10,000 elite troops who have been transferred from the northwest border troops, 10,000 Jingdong East Army troops who were stationed here last year, and 10,000 imperial guards who have been transferred to Liaodong for reinforcement. After that, thousands were recruited from Jingdong East Army."

"And those who can fight well are probably only ten thousand Western Army and the ten thousand imperial guards. As for those local soldiers and horses, if they are still able to defend the city, they will probably be able to fight in the field, but if they want to fight in the field, they will be able to compete with the former wing army at most." This is said to be gentle. It would be better if these guys were not directly said that they would probably have a defeat in the field battlefield.

"Now, Zhong Shidao has left behind the 15,000 troops, of which 5,000 troops are guarding Dalian Port, a major town where no accidents cannot occur, and 10,000 troops are guarding Ningzhou and Zhenhai Prefecture. He only led 20,000 elite troops to the Liaoyang Prefecture area. In addition, he also needed to guard the vital land of Jinzhou with heavy troops. The troops were really short of strength."

"Twenty thousand soldiers and horses need to defend the ten states, and they also need to take care of nearly 30,000 surrendered soldiers. In addition, although Yelu Yuji surrendered to our Song Dynasty, he also had 30,000 soldiers and horses under his command, so he had to guard against it."

The six people had already arrived at the room where the Privy Council specially placed maps and sand tables. They looked at the huge map of the Tokyo Road in North Liao and began to discuss it seriously.

"Zhong Shidao has already asked Ma Kui to draw 5,000 sailors from the Navy to assist in the defense of Jinzhou, but if you want to take over the ten states currently under the Liaodong Army, you will probably have to double the number of troops..." Di Yong couldn't help but catch up with two big heads.

Cao Shi nodded deeply and agreed. "The Northern Liao Dynasty will definitely not be willing to fall into the hands of our Song Dynasty. I believe that it won't take long to go ahead, even if the Northern Liao Dynasty is desperate, it will definitely launch a large army to attack. I am afraid that the Northern Liao army that will kill here will be several times the number of the Liao army that attacked the Liaodong Peninsula last time."

"No, there will definitely not be so many. According to Wang Mou's opinion, the number of troops that can be used in the Northern Liao Dynasty today will not exceed 200,000."

"Why doesn't it exceed 200,000?" Su Dongpo couldn't help but interrupt and asked, and took the opportunity to pick up the wine pot mentioned here and sipped the wine. Wang Yang couldn't help rolling his eyes. This old alcoholic couldn't help it.

Wang Hou smiled with great confidence and pointed to the hinterland of Nanjing Road in Northern Liao on the map.

"Before Northern Liao, due to the destruction of its naval army, a lot of troops had been dispatched to garrison the coastal areas of the Liaohai Sea. Now, if he really dares to launch a large army to attack Jinzhou and Liaodong, wouldn't he be afraid that our Song army will take advantage of the empty defense and take advantage of the opportunity to regain the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun?"

"Hiss...good, this is really true. If the Northern Liao really dares to attack Liaoyang Prefecture in a crazy way, then the hundreds of thousands of tigers that we stationed in the border town of Liao and Song will be like a fierce tiger going down the mountain."

After hearing Cao Shi's description, Wang Yang laughed directly. Among the soldiers and horses of the Song Dynasty, those who can really go to the battlefield can also see the Northwest Frontier Army, that is, the Imperial Army. As for the combat effectiveness of the more than 200,000, nearly 300,000 border troops that have always been in stalemate with the Northern Liao Dynasty.

It can be said that there were not as many fortresses built by the Song Dynasty in the border towns of the Song and Liao dynasties. If the Northern Liao army dared to come south, at most those border troops would only dare to defend and go out of the city to fight. There would be no second possibility except for everyone singing together.

However, the degree of deterioration of the Northern Liao garrison troops is not much better. It is a typical big brother, not to mention the second brother, but all of them are almost the same.

Fortunately, the court has paid more and more attention to them in recent years, and the wars have boosted the morale of the Song Dynasty's army. Although the soldiers in these places have been lazy for a long time, they dare not slackewer in daily exercises.

Moreover, in the past two years, the military equipment has been changed greatly, and I dare not say anything else, but the Song Dynasty's Yuan You crossbow was enough, which at least made the soldiers of the Song Dynasty no longer afraid of the Northern Liao Dynasty like tigers.

But to be honest, it is still insufficient to let them attack Bei Liao.

"The most important thing now is to increase troops to the north and send reinforcements directly to Jinzhou through Dengzhou Port. In any case, Jinzhou must be saved."

"Jinzhou is not lost, and the western Liaoning Corridor is controlled by our Song Dynasty. As for the north, it is full of mountains and rugged land. If the Northern Liao Dynasty wants to seize the Tokyo Road, it can only go around from the north. In that way, its supply line will become very long, and secondly, it will become extremely difficult to mobilize troops."
