"General, the Liao army will camp at Yehuling, fifteen miles to the north." "I understand, you can go down." "Yes." Li Jilong also ordered to set up camp. However, they were much more comfortable than the Liao army. They had food, tents, and charcoal fires in the tents. "Commander, why don't you continue the pursuit?" General Wu Boli from the Liugu tribe asked. "Don't use it. The enemy will still fight like a trapped beast and has the tendency to be condescending. Once they are pursued by force, they will inevitably be provoked to counterattack. If they can be annihilated, the cost will be too high. They are fish in the net anyway, so why rush. "Li Jilong said. The reason is not limited to this. A great victory is in sight, so there is no need to be anxious, but to win at the minimum cost, otherwise the high pension will far outweigh the reward. Moreover, every death of a soldier means the breakdown of a family. Although Li Jilong is not very familiar with politics, he still understands the simple truth. After this battle, rewards, pensions, and reconstruction still cost a lot of money. ¡°Besides, we still have to recover Yanyun and attack the north We must preserve our strength. Stop for a moment, stay within the infantry range, and keep the entire group moving forward, and you will have more chess pieces available in your hands. Especially grain and grass. The farther north you go, the Liao Kingdom's grain and grass will be in crisis. Most of the Song army will also need a lot of grain and grass, so the marching speed cannot be too fast. It is beneficial to the Song army to drag them down. The Song army slept in tents and covered with quilts, while the Liao army slept in the open air, covered with withered grass, and the consumption also consumed them to death. The Liao army needs a rest, and the Song army also needs a rest. And He summoned the generals: "Yang Yanzhao, Qin Han, each of you will lead five thousand Xianping troops, detour to the east and stay as far away from Yehuling as possible. Without alerting the Liao army, first rush to Gaoyang Pass day and night and wait. Wang Xian ordered." "Here." The two of them went down to order the troops. "Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, each of you will lead five thousand ordinary cavalry to Gaoyang Pass to wait for orders." "Here." "If there is no accident. The Liao army will temporarily want to leave Daming Mansion as quickly as possible, then it will leave Daming Palace from Daming Palace. Evacuate the plain area east of Fu. Jing Si and Tian Min lead 5,000 Beiwei troops, and Ma Zhijie, lead 5,000 Xianping troops. Arrive at the old town first, and then wait until the enemy arrives. Ambush. Then send scouts to monitor. If the enemy changes its route to the west of Daming Mansion, you must rush to Daming Mansion immediately and cooperate with our army to launch an attack from the flank. How about this, Sun Quanzhao, you go to Daming Mansion immediately and recruit all the elite soldiers in the city to cooperate with General Jing, General Tian and General Ma to prepare for the war." "Here." "The rest of the army will rest immediately." At this moment, Song Jiu sent a letter. Express letter. Li Jilong opened it and took a look. He smiled and said, "Great idea." Song Jiu alone, without Li Jilong and Cao Wei commanding on the battlefield, would never have been able to achieve such a great victory. But relying on Li Jilong and Cao Wei, without Song Jiu's support and political acumen, it would be impossible for Li and Cao to accomplish this feat. After resting for the night, several groups of soldiers and horses were on the move. The Liao army continued to flee northeast. Li Jilong calmly ordered the troops to set up camp. The infantry and heavy supplies of food and supplies also followed behind. In the end, it was Zhao Heng who led a large group of troops. Song Jiu persuaded Zhao Heng to go to the north. Zhao Heng somewhat agreed, but some ministers objected. Song Jiu said something. Since ancient times, there have been five mountain towns: Yishan in the east, Huijishan in the south, Wushan in the west, Yiwulushan in the north, and Huoshan in the middle. However, after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, even Yanyun became a place for the barbarians, and even Mount Hengshan in the Five Mountains became the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention the medical treatment of Wulu Mountain. This time when His Majesty goes north, he must pay homage to Yiwulu Mountain. This is a symbol of the unification of the Central Plains and the unity of the world. Everyone, do you want to hinder His Majesty from such a grand event? " Zhao Heng's eyes turned green immediately. Song Jiu hit the lifeblood of all the scholar-bureaucrats at once. Zhang Qixian and Kou Zhun were at odds with each other. As for other ministers, they were not much better. "What is a prosperous dynasty? The world is not unified. , at least the territory of China was unified in the past, otherwise it would be called a prosperous dynasty. Medical Wu Lu Mountain was also called Lu Mountain, so there was no objection to the imperial expedition to the five towns, but Song Jiuzhen was not interested. When Heng went to the north, it would show his respect for the north and facilitate the rapid integration of this vast area. Moreover, people's thoughts will change with their life experiences. After this, Zhao Heng and the ministers' thoughts changed. We will become more open-minded and enterprising, otherwise the north will fall.bsp;If it falls, what's the point of sending troops to the north? It's better to keep the Liao Kingdom, contain other nomadic peoples, and only manage Yanyun. Furthermore, the emergence of cotton can expand the scope of activities of the Song army in the north. And the development of physical physics also gave Song Jiu confidence. For example, steam engines began to be used in large-scale agricultural irrigation, and initially appeared in textiles. Some people even studied how to use it to mine, build a narrow-gauge railway in a large mine, and then use a simple steam train to transport the ore out. As long as the technology keeps up and the cost is not too high, the mining efficiency will be greatly improved, and the current mining output can even be more than doubled. If one day the iron output of the entire Song Dynasty reaches hundreds of thousands of tons, maybe the steel age will gradually arrive. This is the confidence to manage the north. With good management, the world is stable. At least now, except for the north, no country will harm the Song Dynasty. I believe that even a figure like Zhao Ji will not have the possibility of subjugating the country from within with the current system of the Song Dynasty. If the management is not good, the north will have a headache, even if it gets Yanyun. And overseas also gave Song Jiu confidence. There are still not many immigrants who have moved overseas, but only about 100,000 households, mainly people living on Fujian Road. Where there are more mountains and less land, and there were less wars in the Five Dynasties, the population is still relatively large. In addition, where the people believe in Buddhism, the land occupied by temples and temples is relatively high. High, further causing shortage of cultivated land. From now on, many families cannot afford to raise more children, and their children drown to death after birth. Therefore, as the overseas islands were slowly colonized, many people moved their families there. ??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? They even stationed a small number of officials to collect some taxes. It's relatively small, only tens of thousands of dollars a year, but although lice are small, they are still meat. Moreover, as the number of people increased, the area developed increased. The tax rate is also slowly increasing, and there are many interests of the powerful, so the scholar-bureaucrats turn a blind eye to it. Anyway, if you are overseas, you can catch one. Besides, when it comes to overseas development, the benefits lie not in overseas markets, but in shipping companies. And the various hidden taxes it brings. So in these years, overseas immigrants have reached nearly 100,000 households, and some people even went as far as the eastern coastline of Oceania to expel the local indigenous people and start animal husbandry. Sheepskin is profitable, leather is profitable. Meat is also profitable after marinating. As well as spices, corals, tortoise shells, jade, and even many uninhabited fertile areas, gold mines and various large-scale mines have been discovered one after another, coupled with low taxes, these are huge profits. Therefore, the number of people going out to sea for gold mining has gradually increased. Although China has a strong sense of ruralism. For life. I had no choice but to leave my home. Song and Jiujiu did not expect that the Song Dynasty would include the South China Sea Islands and Oceania in the future. Even if it develops to that day, it will inevitably split into several new Han countries. However, within these few hundred years, the problems caused by population density will be solved. All kinds of problems. Basically, his youthful dream is gradually coming true. So a few hundred years later, a new Middle-earth dynasty will stand on top of the world. ¡ This is the future, now we must eat up this Liao army, and the emperor can capture it. A new battle begins. As Li Jilong expected, in order to gain speed, the Liao army fled north from the ancient town road east of Daming Mansion. Jing Si came out to fight. Tian Min came out. Although the five thousand Beiwei troops are not many, their cold heavy equipment is like a tank, and they are like no one among the nearly 100,000 Liao troops. The Liao army fought and fled. Ma Zhijie led another five thousand Xianping troops to roam around, dragging the Liao army here. Then Li Jilong led the main cavalry to kill. It should be said that it was because Li Jilong divided his troops. At this time, the number of troops was not much greater than that of the Liao army. However, God knows when the huge infantry regiment behind them will catch up. This is the boundary of Daming Mansion, not far from the main battlefield. And at this time, the morale of the Liao army, which was finally aroused by Xiao Yanyan, was gradually declining. "Xiao Guanyinnu is brave and stays behind to snipe, but don't forget that this is a plain area. After receiving the information the next day, Li Jilong laughed loudly and ordered a detour, only allowing Tian Shaobin to take a thousand cavalry to the north of Yehu Ridge to keep an eye on their Liao army, and then pursue them towards the old town. At this time of the battle, most of the infantry of the Song Army also arrived at Yehuling. Tian Shaobin sent someone to shout that he would surrender without killing. Xiao Guanyin slave still wanted to resist stubbornly. As the artillery bombarded Shiji, Xiao Guanyin slave was immediately captured and beheaded by his men, and surrendered to the Song army. Xiao Guanyin slave is loyal, but how many of these people want to be scapegoats. Moreover, seeing the large groups of Song Dynasty troops arriving one after another, coupled with the sharp murderous weapons, the Liao soldiers were all frightened.What courage do you have to continue fighting? Especially this is a team of all ethnic groups. Li Jilong led most of the cavalry into the battlefield. Wang Qinruo and Sun Quanzhao arrived again with the Daming Mansion army. The Liao army was immediately exhausted. Seeing the defeat beginning, Xiao Talin immediately ordered: "Retreat to the north." He fled again. At dusk, when they fled to the west boundary of Guantao, the Liao army had less than 70,000 riders. The remaining people were not killed by the Song army, but mostly scattered. Li Jilong continued to lead his army to follow behind them, and camped more than twenty miles away from them. Then he continued to order: "Sun Quanzhao, take 10,000 cavalry to Linshi to intercept them. If the enemy does not escape from the eastern front, then rush to Beizhou. If the enemy still does not escape from the eastern front, march to Jizhou, and then wait for orders. " "Here." "General Cao, according to Song Gong's suggestion, I would like to trouble you one more thing. The army has prepared skates just in case. You go to the rear and gather the skating soldiers. With the help of the ice on the rivers, Slide to Gaoyang Pass with tens of thousands of soldiers, otherwise the troops on Wang Xianggong's side are still insufficient, and then tell Wang Xianggong the detailed battle situation and assist him in commanding and mobilizing arrangements. There is also a secret edict from His Majesty. If Wang Xianggong is timid to fight, Or the command is inappropriate, you can replace it." "Here." "Li Jixuan, Liu Yong, you lead five thousand cavalry to Julu. If the enemy does not escape from the east, it will be about evening. I will send light cavalry to catch up, and you will fight out from Julu and hold the enemy until most of our cavalry comes up." Li Jilong rotated the soldiers to conserve their strength, and then captured them with the Liao army. Cat. But there is one more thing. The next day, Xiao Taolin moved his camp forward in a panic. Although there were fewer and fewer soldiers and horses, he was getting closer and closer to the northern line. Li Chongjie came over with a light cavalry and shouted in front of the Liao army: "Inform the emperor of your country that the Queen Mother of your country has arrived. Your Majesty issued an edict and prepared to transport her to your country for a grand burial. Please surrender quickly to your emperor." , Your Majesty will pay homage to the king of Liao to open the palace and the three divisions will be in charge of the affairs, and he will be a guarantor for generations, and he will be granted a permanent title of 10,000 households. "Breaking the limit of all the official systems in the Song Dynasty, he will be worshiped as an official of the first rank, and he can also be a guarantor for generations. Make up for the income of this prince and ten thousand households. However, Xiao Taolin stood on the high hill and asked: "You surrendered general, let me ask you, where is Chai Rong of the Later Zhou Dynasty? Where is Li Yu of the Southern Tang Dynasty? Where is Liu Jiyuan of the Northern Han Dynasty? Where is Meng Chang of the Shu Kingdom? Where is Liu Yuan of the Southern Han Dynasty? ? Where is Wu Zhao Qian Shu? " These people were also very good in the Song Dynasty, but most of them died in an unknown way, and they have not seen any kindness from generation to generation. Li Chongjie sighed and said: "In this case, I have to convey another edict from His Majesty. All the Liao soldiers in front of you listen carefully. Whoever can capture the Emperor of Liao will be rewarded with a hundred thousand coins. If he is caught, he will be rewarded at any time ( We are not like your empress dowager who issued an edict of one hundred thousand taels of gold (not for nothing), that is, if you kill the emperor of Liao, you will be rewarded with a penny."
