Chapter 617 Gubeikou

Han Nanwang was still unmoved to Han Qi's surrender and insisted on waiting until the Song army conquered Datong before considering it. In fact, Han Qi also knew that Han Nanwang was just delaying time. He also hoped that Datong could block the Song army's attack. In this way, when the Liao Kingdom reacted and sent a large army to rescue, the Song Dynasty failed to control the entire territory of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and it would be easy to be repelled by the Liao army.

If we face the above situation, the Song Dynasty may have to seek peace from the Liao Kingdom. As an important person captured, Han Nanwang must also be sent back to the Liao Kingdom. In this way, Han Nanwang can preserve the reputation of their Han family and continue to be loyal to the Liao Kingdom.

Of course, if the Song Dynasty could successfully conquer Datong, it would also mean that all the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun were under the control of the Song Dynasty. Even if the Liao Kingdom sent a large army, it would be difficult to get a bargain. Han Nanwang might really surrender to the Song Dynasty. After all, he had not died when the city was broken before, so he had already lost the opportunity to be loyal to the Liao Kingdom. After all, not everyone has the courage to go on a hunger strike.

Although Han Qi was young, he had already seen the thoughts of Han Nanwang, the family, but he was not angry at all. He smiled again and said, "Since that's the case, General Han will wait for the good news from General Liu. Maybe we will be ministers with the same court at that time. I hope General Han will take care of him!"

Han Qi's words were obviously a bit ridiculous. After all, he had already served as an important position as a transshipment officer at a young age and would almost certainly enter the Political Affairs Hall in the future. Han Nanwang was just a surrendered general. The Song Dynasty only needed the prestige of their Han family to appease Yan Yun, and would definitely not be reused in the future.

Han Nanwang and his son also heard the teasing in Han Qi's words. Han Feifan was young and energetic, and immediately glared at Han Qi, but Han Nanwang was very calm and said indifferently: "Han is polite, and maybe our Han family needs more care in the future!"

When Han Qi saw that Han Nanwang was so calm, he couldn't help but look up to him a little bit. Then he didn't say anything and turned around and left here. However, before leaving, he also asked the military doctor about Han Nanwang's injuries. After all, Han Nanwang was quite useful to the Song Dynasty, otherwise they would not have been able to surrender with all their hearts.

After returning to his residence, Han Qi found that there were a lot of official documents on the desk, which made him sigh. Although he also brought a lot of staff and officials around him, there were many military affairs and all the items were very important. He needed to review them personally, otherwise the people below would not be able to bear the responsibility.

However, Han Qi ignored these documents for the time being, because at this time he felt that all the fatigue of sleepless night was coming up. At this time, his eyelids could hardly open. Finally, he forced to eat something, and then he lay down and snoreed like thunder.

However, Han Qi slept for about two hours and was woken up by the people around him because the capital sent an urgent document that had to be handed over to Han Qi. This made him get up helplessly, then washed his face and asked someone to send the document. When he opened the document, he was shocked and his previous fatigue was thrown away by him.

"Brother Li did not disappoint. He could help me solve such a big problem when he was far away in the capital!" Han Qi clapped and laughed after reading the official document.

There is not much content in this official document. In addition to the instructions to appease Yan Yun, the most important thing is to indicate the arrangements of prisoners of war. In fact, it is also very simple. These prisoners of war will be used as laborers in the future to repair the ancient Great Wall that was disrepaired. After the Liao Kingdom occupied Yan Yun, the Great Wall lost its original role. Even the Liao Kingdom deliberately destroyed part of the Great Wall, which now needs important restoration, and this requires a lot of manpower and material resources. If prisoners of war are used, it will definitely reduce the expenses greatly.

The official document also stated that this matter was proposed by Li Zhang, which made Han Qi very happy. After all, he was still having a headache about the prisoners of war just now. Now that the prisoners of war are useful, it is not considered in vain. He can even prepare for the restoration of the Great Wall now. After all, he is in an important position now, and even if he defeats Yan Yun, he may have to serve here for a few years, so he will definitely be responsible for part of this matter at that time.

Thinking of this, Han Qi was also very excited because restoring the Great Wall is a great achievement. Especially such an important border defense as the Great Wall must be recorded in history. As long as the Great Wall does not fall, his name will not be forgotten. For scholars, leaving a name in history is one of their ultimate pursuits.

"Come here, prepare the horse!" Han Qi immediately ordered excitedly, and then someone immediately prepared the horse. However, just as Han Qi was about to go out, he suddenly saw the official documents on the desk again, which made him look like a deflated ball, because he wanted to go to the Great Wall in the north to take a look, but it took one day to go back and forth. There are so many official documents at present, and he couldn't leave at all.

In desperation, Han Qi had to let someone take the horse down again, and then forced himself to sit down to process the official documents. It took another day. Not only did he finish the official documents, but he also arranged the next thing in advance, and then left Xijinfu City again.

However, this time Han Qi did not ride a horse again, but asked someone to prepare a carriage so that he could sleep on the carriage. When he was woken up by the guards, he immediately got off the carriage. He saw a long dragon winding among the mountains in front of him, which was the Great Wall that many generations of people in the Song Dynasty wanted to recover.

The Gubeikou Great Wall was once the best preserved Great Wall system in later generations. However, the Great Wall in later generations was mainly built by the Northern Qi and the Ming Dynasty. During the Song Dynasty, this Great Wall was mainly the Northern Qi Great Wall. Although it was not as magnificent as in later generations, it was also an extremely solid line of defense. Unfortunately, many sections of the city even collapsed due to their disrepair.

"Last time, General Ma Zhou paid homage to the transshipment commander!" Han Qi had just got off the carriage and saw a member of the Song general and saluted.

After Liu Ping conquered the city of Xijin, he immediately sent troops to guard Gubeikou, because if the Liao people sent troops to rescue Yan Yun, it would be almost a must-pass way here, and the terrain here was dangerous. Although the Great Wall was broken, some of it could still be used, so he sent General Ma in front of him to guard him.
