    Orthra looked at the map.  Even though the Song Army now has a large number of troops, it cannot really block the Liao Army. The area of ??the two states and one army is very large, almost four times the area of ??the original Fulin Road. Even if the northern area is left aside, there is still the original Fulin area.  The road is more than twice the area.  Not to mention 200,000 officers and soldiers, even one million officers and soldiers cannot completely block all roads.  "Guan Jian fought his way to the Yellow River from another road. How could he cross the Yellow River?"  There is no suitable ferry crossing, and the Song army is not dead. If the Liao army moves, the Song army will inevitably move.  So he had no choice but to set his mind to the bend of the river, which was the other side of Muna Mountain, all the way to the river crossing.  This is not easy either. Although that section of the river is wide, the water flow is gentle, and there are many lush vegetation on the bank, it is difficult to obtain wood. Moreover, because the Qing army in the river was captured by the Song army and guarded above, the Liao army must turn to the northwest.  direction, and then rush towards the mouth of the bay.  This means that the three armies must pass through large sections of dry plains, deserts and Gobi Desert, and they are much further away.  If the Heqing army had not been captured by the Song army and the road was blocked, the journey would have only been more than two hundred miles, but now it would have been at least more than five hundred miles.  However, time waits for no one, it is coming to late August, autumn is coming, autumn is coming, and the weather here immediately becomes cold.  So he immediately sent scouts to investigate, but even this road lost hope.  Three days later, the scout came back and reported that the Song Dynasty had built many ships. A large fleet carrying many Song troops and supplies arrived at the mouth of the bay, and many Song troops came ashore. Five military strongholds were built starting from where Guan Jian was.  .  This does not matter, because the time is short, these military strongholds can only be regarded as simple military strongholds. Guan Jian's fleet continues to be moored on the shore, fortified by water and land.  "That is to say, the Liao army cannot control this place in a short time. If the Liao army goes north, the Song army here will also go north at the same time, and still cannot escape."  This is extremely bad news.  Out Lat began to think wildly, or he might go back, cross the entire Hetao, and cross the river from Hue Crossing (opposite Dengkou).  This is really nonsense. This road is actually the road that Mogusi evacuated. However, Mogusi crossed the river from Provincial City in the south, and Hue Crossing was further north.  "Moreover, Mogusi kidnapped a lot of supplies from Xiazhou to ensure his logistics along the way, and they were all cavalry with high speed.  There are also many cavalry in this Liao army, but there are also more civilians, as well as Xixia people with their children and daughters. It may take a month to cross the entire Hetao.  Now the Hetao has not completely deteriorated, and not all of this area is a desert area. There are many dry plains and Gobi Desert areas. However, 90% of the area does not have sufficient water sources. Not to mention the logistical consumption, just one water source gives Votera a headache.  extremely.  Logistics is also a problem. If everything goes well, the logistics in his hands will be enough for this team to reach Yunzhou smoothly. But if there is a penetration, there will be no logistics at all.  And after crossing the Yellow River, it is impossible to evacuate from the Beihetao area occupied by the Song Dynasty. We must continue to penetrate the large desert Gobi area and evacuate from the west side of Langshan to the area of ????the Zubu people.  Even if he is asked to bring a large number of troops to Zubu, how can the Zubu ministries with a sparse population supplement the logistics of nearly 200,000 people?  Moreover, which area is more lacking in wood, and the two Xixia forts near Huedu have been controlled by the Song army. The Song army is not dead. If he moves, the Song army will mobilize its troops accordingly.  The more Wutela thought about it, the more headache he got. He even came up with an even crazier idea, sending an elite force to counterattack Linzhou of the Song Dynasty. This was an even more unrealistic idea. Linzhou now controlled the entire west of Quye River.  , including the entire Tumaochuan River Basin and most of the Tuhun River (Tuwei River) Basin, without the natural danger of Quye River, it is not far from the Liao Army, about a hundred miles away, but the Song Dynasty built many forts and stayed behind  There are also a lot of troops.  The Liao army led all its troops southward, attacked Linzhou, then penetrated the entire Linzhou, crossed the river at Baode Ferry, and then penetrated the Baode Army and the Huoshan Army of the Song Dynasty before escaping back to the Liao Kingdom.  Is that possible?  In fact, if he really did this, the end would be even worse. In addition to allocating part of the troops to the mouth of the bay, Xingzhou also allocated most of the troops to return to Hedong. There was also a military operation there, a military operation that forced the Liao Kingdom to lower its head.  military operations.  And some troops have sneaked into Hedong before.  If the Liao army got in headfirst, they would not know how they would die.  Now it was only Ote who wanted to assassinate Hu Sizhi, so he could only send some elites, but in that case, they could only send snacks to the Song Dynasty. With the heavy losses of the elite army, his troops were even more embarrassed.  But after all, Ortra was not a crazy lord. After thinking for a long time, he had no choice but to send out scouts and sneak into the area.To the east, it is possible for a few people to sneak back. Moreover, this is the land of the Liao Kingdom, and some soldiers are very familiar with the terrain here.  Then he asked the Liao Kingdom to send heavy troops behind the mountain. This would not only save their hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses, but also a battle for the fate of the country.  Now the two countries have turned against each other. If Wutela loses this battle again, or even the entire army is annihilated, the Liao Kingdom will immediately fall into a disadvantage, let alone expect the Song Dynasty to continue to pay 500,000 yuan a year, or even  It will shake the rule of the sixteen states of Yanyun, Liao.  Only by continuing to send out heavy troops, attacking from two directions, defeating the Song army, and taking back these two armies and one state, can we continue to force the Song Dynasty to bow its head.  Then he ordered to assemble the three armies and continue to stay in the upper reaches of Zhuolun River. There is sufficient water here and the water and grass are relatively abundant. At least it can solve the problem of grass. Not to mention that this line brings a lot of livestock, and the war horses have to be eaten by them.  Be full.  ¡°However, being trapped here is like being locked up in a large prison cell It¡¯s hard to hold back.  After he issued the order, Yitian sighed: "As long as Wang Ju does not die, the Liao Dynasty will continue to be in trouble!" In fact, he thought wrong again. His opponent in this battle was not Wang Ju, but Zhang Kai.  As for Wang Ju, he has already begun resettling immigrants.  After several years of repeated torture, there are now only more than 200,000 households in Xixia, which is a truly vast land and sparsely populated area.  But this is a good thing, it means that the court can move more people to settle here. As long as the Han people reach nearly 70%, the Song Dynasty will be able to fully manage this land.  Therefore, the imperial court gave favorable conditions and allowed all states and counties in the western areas of Hedong Road, Shaanxi Road, Lizhou Road and Jingxi Road to post notices to encourage people to sign up voluntarily and come to the northwest.  The condition is that these people will be provided with food and supplies during the migration process, and special personnel will be sent to lead the way. After arriving at the destination, the court will provide various types of food at three levels: five people per household, five to ten people, and ten people.  Living utensils, farming tools, grain and grass until next autumn harvest, related cold-proof materials, and sufficient cultivated land and related livestock according to the upper, middle and lower three levels. At the same time, each household will be provided with forty guans and sixty guans according to the household level.  Guan and eighty guan of money or the equivalent of silk.  Of course, this large-scale migration will inevitably arouse the opposition of local powerful people, so the imperial court adopted Wang Ju's opinion and allowed powerful powerful people from these areas to come to the northwest to purchase land, which was divided into five levels.  The mother only needs 2 guan of money, the second class has 1,500 fen, the third class has 1 guan, the fourth class has 500 fen, and the fifth class has only 200 fen.  But there is one condition: you must bring tenants who are equal to the cultivated land you purchased, so as to prevent these powerful people from hoarding the land and turning the cultivated land into waste, and it will not play the role of immigrants.  However, the imperial court continued to provide a preferential condition, that is, even though they were tenant farmers, they would still receive subsidies according to the standards of other immigrants.  Although these subsidies did not fall into the pockets of various powerful people, the tenant farmers they brought over immediately settled down, which means that they can successfully collect rent next year.  This was used to alleviate the pressure caused by strong opposition, and at the same time, it also brought a lot of income to the court.  ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????: Even the powerful Liao Kingdom's hundreds of thousands of troops were pocketed by the Song Dynasty, so that everyone had no worries. Therefore, many powerful people opposed the change and actively participated.  In fact, this is also a manifestation of wealth accumulation and nowhere to go.  The interest rate is low if you put it in the bank, and you are also afraid of unstable policies, but if you invest it in land, the land will not run away.  Without the Banking Division, this policy would be even more effective.  But it costs too much money, especially the battle with the Liao Kingdom, which will consume more supplies. The cost of transporting armor, cloth and other materials is even better, mainly food and grass.  In order to meet the needs of the front line and the cage tactic, the imperial court had to use fast horses to order Jiaozhi and Guangnan to recruit sea ships and urgently transport three million shi of grain.  But this grain and grass had to be transported not only to Shaanxi Road, but also to further front lines step by step. Even though Wang Ju used many prisoners of war and Xixia people to be responsible for the transportation on a work-for-relief basis, the consumption was astonishing.  of.  The imperial court had to issue another 20 million yuan of "national debt", which caused many ministers to object.  Someone did some calculations and found out that the cost of the war in recent years has reached more than 300 million yuan. This does not include many hidden expenses!  If included, it could even reach more than 400 million strings, something that has never happened since ancient times!  At the same time, such a large-scale use of troops and logistics transportation has led to the waste of production of the people in the two roads in Hedong, Shaanxi. Not to mention the people's unrest. After all, the court hired servants, but the grain production in both roads has been seriously reduced. At the same time, each bucket of millet in the north has never been less than ten  Wenqian rose to fifteen wenqian, each bushel of wheat rose from more than thirty wen to fifty wenqian, and each dou of rice rose from seventy wen to nearly one hundred wen. The price of grain in the capital was even more expensive.  In short, productionIt has had a series of malignant effects.  But now there is good news.  That was the steam locomotive that Shen Kuo was responsible for. After several years of research and development, it was finally put into use in Sanmenxia.  It is not the kind of train of later generations. Its carriages are very small. Each carriage can load less than twenty stones, which is less than one ton. It is equivalent to a large carriage. Each locomotive can transport forty carriages. The maximum speed is  Eighty miles per hour is equivalent to being able to travel 20 kilometers per hour. In Sanmenxia, ??because there are many slopes, the speed is less than ten kilometers per hour.  Its service life is about one thousand hours and requires major repairs once. The service life is not too long, but it is also a great improvement.  During the Han and Tang Dynasties, the water transport volume of the three gates was close to eight million shi per year. In the Song Dynasty, it was only two to three million shi per year. However, it also depends on whether a large-scale war is launched. The water transport volume will immediately expand. For example, in the past two years, the water transport volume of the three gates has reached nearly  Tens of millions of stones.  But with this locomotive, it is planned to make five or six round trips every day, which will cost four to five thousand shi. After deducting bad weather, it is planned that one locomotive can complete the water transportation of 800,000 shi in two hundred days.  Including rotation or overhaul rotation, twenty locomotives are enough to complete the entire three-door water transportation needs, with only thirty or forty "drivers" and dozens of craftsmen responsible for maintenance.  Then there is no need for trackers, and there is no need for thousands of civilians who use small carts to push supplies. As long as the scheduling is correct, the downstream cargo ship will load the truck immediately, and the upstream cargo ship will follow and load the cargo ship immediately. Then there will be a large number of warehousing and management on both sides.  There is no need for subordinate servants in the warehouse.  From then on, the people near Shaanzhou were completely freed from this sea of ??suffering.  And because its load capacity is very small, including the weight of the machine head, it is less than fifteen tons, instead of more than one hundred or two hundred tons like later generations, and the rail nose is longer, and the pressure pressure is also reduced, which means  As long as the bridge is strong, it is passable and the road surface requirements are very low. Although the technology is backward, the cost is not too high.  These data are not used in Sanmenxia, ??but may be used in many areas, including the front line, such as the section of Lingwu Avenue from Lingzhou to Huai'an Town. Although it passes through Hengshan, the road in this section of Hengshan is relatively flat and wide, and the remaining roads  It is also relatively good, and there are few rivers, mostly small rivers, and there are not many rainy seasons. It is also possible to build a "railway". At its speed, it can travel 700 miles a day, which is faster than the cavalry. Then materials can be quickly transported to  The troops were sent to Lingzhou City, and then combined with the Yellow River shipping, this area could be easily controlled in the future.  This significance alone is not trivial, and the reason why some scholar-bureaucrats attacked Wang Ju was because this area was too far away from the Central Plains, making it difficult to mobilize troops and move materials. In the future, China's power will be consumed here.  There is no reason to attack now.  And with this road, green salt and northwest-related specialties can be easily delivered to Huai'an Town, which facilitates business transactions.  Therefore, when Sanmenxia was opened to traffic, Zhao Xu personally led his ministers to Shaanzhou to watch. After watching it, Long Yan was so happy that he gave Shen Kuo an official title on the spot, and allocated relevant money and silk to make Shen Kuo responsible for the construction of this "railway".  Shen Kuo was in tears. Since the defeat of Yongle City, he had gained a bad reputation, and because of the high cost of developing this kind of motorcycle, he had received many criticisms.  Today, the results finally came to fruition, and he has now cleared his name.  After Wang Ju heard the news, he also felt lucky. Shen Kuo's success came in a relatively timely manner. Otherwise, if there was a delay, this research and development would most likely be terminated.  And this is also a huge industry that will have an immeasurable effect on the mining industry, smelting industry, foundry industry, processing industry, transportation industry, and commerce.  As for those ministers who object, just oppose it. Anyway, I will leave in a few months.  In fact, these objections are unreasonable. Such a large-scale battle will inevitably have some negative effects on the country, but what about the positive side?  Let's just talk about immigration. It not only makes the northwest easier to manage in the future, but also completely relieves the pressure of densely populated areas such as Hedong Road, Shaanxi Road, and Lizhou Road.  Just like Hedong Road, because the land is narrow and there are many people, the price of an ordinary private field reaches five guan yuan per acre, but how much is the annual income?  If you grow millet, it will cost you twenty cents!  If you grow wheat, it will cost you fifty cents!  Moreover, Wang Ju did not have many troops in his hands, so he began to concentrate on resettling immigrants, building forts and cities, and stabilizing the northwest. There is no need to be afraid that some people will say that he has too many troops, which will be detrimental to the court. Wang Ju cannot have the reputation to rebel, and Zhang Kai also has  Rebellion for reputation.  The Liao Kingdom sent troops again.  Yelu Hongji has been very concerned about this troop dispatch from the beginning. He did not even hold Xia Nabo and Qiu Nabo, and stayed in Youzhou City.  In fact, there was no need to wait until Yeluotara made a request for support. Yeluna had already sent people to use fast horses to report the situation in Hexi to Yeluhongji, so Yeluhongji personally led tens of thousands of troops to Yunzhou.  After receiving the request from Utera, he immediately used these soldiers and horses to march in front of the palace.He inspected Yelu Dabeinu as the commander-in-chief, and the imperial guard Yelute as the deputy commander. He also recruited tens of thousands of soldiers and horses from the states behind the mountains, formed a hundred thousand troops and rushed to Dongsheng Prefecture, and sent out scouts to make an agreement with Wutela.  On September 20, the two armies attacked together.  Even September 20th is considered fast.  But Yelu Hongji did not come to the front line in person. His father almost had his nose cut off by the Xixia people in Hequ. This made Yelu Hongji a little scared, but he personally took command in Yunzhou, which can be regarded as an encouragement.  At the same time, he sent envoys to the Song Dynasty to express strong dissatisfaction with the Song Dynasty.  When two Liao envoys came to the capital, Zhao Xu did not receive them, but Cai Que did. He only said one thing, you go to the Daizhou front line and have a look. If you have anything to say, wait until you come back.  "What's going on in Daizhou is not good. The two Liao envoys thought of something and immediately rushed to Daizhou, but it was too late.  The huge armies of the two countries opened fire again.  On September 20th, Outela launched a fierce attack on the Song army. At this time, they were running out of food and grass. If the Xixia people who defected had not brought a lot of food and livestock, they would have been out of food.  Therefore, the three armies of the Liao Kingdom are almost desperate.  However, the problem is that this delay lasted another month, which gave the Song Army more time. The military strongholds on various mountain roads were basically completed, and more supplies and weapons were transferred from the rear. We did not underestimate your Liao Army, and you  We are working hard, but we are not coming out to fight you, we are just defending.  This is the Western Army, the strongest army in the Song Dynasty. After successive great victories, its morale has reached the extreme. Moreover, this time the court has given generous rewards. The previous batch of rewards have been handed over to their family members by local governments, and because of the postage  The post office and their families informed them of the news through letters, and the higher the morale, the better.  The reason for this arrangement was to punish Emperor Taizong of the Song Dynasty for his defeat in the battle of Gaolianghe without reward.  They also had an absolute advantage in terms of military strength. Although the Liao army seemed to have a large number of soldiers, after deducting the civilians and refugees from Xixia, how many soldiers were left?  And relying on the stronghold to defend itself has an advantage. Due to various factors, no matter how hard the Liao army tried, they could never break through the Song army's defense lines.  Yelu Dabeinu also launched an attack from Hedong.  These Liao generals are actually quite good at fighting, but now that Guan Jian is across the Yellow River, Dabei Nu also has a headache.  At this time, Liu Shen, the deputy envoy of the Third Division of Youzhou who was accompanying the army, made a suggestion. It was obviously too late to build a ship, but the rafts could be made into rows, twisted together with iron chains, and then lowered at the ends, and rushed to the other side with the help of the current.  Although the river in this section is not too fast, it is much more rapid than the Hekou Ferry side, so the current will definitely wash the raft towards the opposite river beach.  Then send warriors to rush across and occupy the beachhead.  Then, wooden planks were added to these wooden rafts to form a formal pontoon bridge, and the army crossed westward.  It seemed to be a good idea, so Da Bei Nu adopted it. The Song Army seemed to have no choice but to do so. After all, the Divine Arm Bow could not reach the distance, and the artillery could not fully cover it. Moreover, the artillery shells were really expensive now, so the Liao Army was not afraid.  Sacrificed, I could only watch helplessly as they removed all the stones and several huge wooden rafts were formed.  When Wutela launched an attack on the Song army, Dabeinu also ordered the rafts to be lowered. Under the urging of the waves, several rows of rafts rushed to the beach in Hexi. Many Liao soldiers rushed to the other side with the help of the rafts.  Zhe Kexing had no choice but to order arrows to be fired, and some Liao soldiers were shot to death. Some Liao soldiers were bumped into the river because the wooden rafts were tossed in the waves. However, under the heavy reward of the Great Bei Nu, more Liao soldiers jumped on the wooden rafts.  .  At this time, bundles of sorghum straw suddenly floated upstream. At the same time, there were many oil stains on the water. When they reached the raft, they were blocked together. Dabei Nu repeatedly ordered the withdrawal of troops.  But it was too late, the Song army fired rockets one after another, and a fire immediately broke out in the center of the river, burning most of the Liao soldiers to death.  The raft plan was declared a failure.  However, this fire attack gave Da Bei Nu an inspiration. There are several good ferries at the mouth of the bay. The lowest ferry is Hekou Ferry. It is located to the west of Dongshengzhou City, only a few miles away from the city, and once it is crossed,  The Yellow River is only more than 200 miles away from Jinsu City. As long as it reaches the other side, under the joint attack of the two Liao armies, the Song army will be defeated no matter how many troops it has.  Moreover, Dongshengzhou City is not too far away from here, and the army can be transferred to the river crossing in one day's journey.  But the problem is that the Song Dynasty had many warships parked on the river, and these warships were equipped with arrow stacks. If the Liao army wanted to cross the river, the Song army only had to sail the ships over, hide in the arrow stacks and release arrows, and the Liao army would not be able to cross the river.  There was activity by the river.  But now there is a ready-made method. Under his order, part of the Liao army moved to Hekoudu, and some cavalry came to the upper reaches of Hekoudu to prepare forage bales. As for fierce fire oil, the Liao Kingdom had it very early.  It just lacks the relevant refining technology and is not as powerful as the Song Dynasty.  Prepared properly, ready to start the war to burn the Song Dynasty.? But at this time, the Song Army suddenly sent two boats. They also dragged the wooden rafts. Taking advantage of the numerous bay mouths in this area, they used iron anchors to place the wooden rafts in the center of the river.  Grass and oil came from the upper reaches, blocking each other in front of the two rows of wooden rafts.  The Liao army was dumbfounded. Is this a fire or not?  They refused to burn, but the Song army burned it for them. Rockets were fired one after another, and the fire was blazing, but it did not burn a hair on the Song army.  The Great Compassionate Slave was even more anxious. One drum was full of energy, the other drum was exhausted, and the third drum failed. There was no need for scouts to spy in Wuteli in Hexi. He knew that he was fighting for his life at this time. However, it had been a long time since he saw the army crossing the river. If this tone weakened, hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses would be gone.  No more, and the morale of his own army is low. Maybe the Song army crosses the river with victory, and hundreds of thousands of soldiers and horses are buried here. Then it will truly become a battle for the fate of the country.  Forced by helplessness, he thought for a long time and finally came up with a way, which was to storm Muna Mountain.  Now the Song Dynasty sent ships to densely cover the river east of Muna Mountain, which was the original river section of the Liao Kingdom. But taking Muna Mountain would mean extending the river section to Sancha Bay. There were so many ships in the Song Dynasty that the river section was extended.  If it is more than double, there will be loopholes everywhere, and the Liao army can wait for the opportunity to cross the river, and at most it will have to pay some sacrifices.  But just crossing the river is a beautiful victory.  Indeed, this is the biggest loophole in the entire cage plan. If when Wotela retreated from Yanzhou, he decisively abandoned the Xixia people who had defected to him, ignored the hardships, directly penetrated the entire Hetao, marched to the other side of the Muna Mountain River, and then sent scouts.  Ordering the Tiande Army to launch an attack to the south would force the Song Army to directly send a large army to fight him head-on. Even if they achieved some results, they would be far less effective than what they would later achieve.  But at that time, Ortra was still thinking of good things.  So another two months have passed. Now the construction of the forts in Beihetao has been completed, and reserve reinforcements have arrived one after another. If it hadn't been for this war, Wang Judu was ready to mobilize soldiers and civilians to build the Great Wall at some gaps in the Yinshan Mountains.  Now the Liao army thought of attacking Muna Mountain, but it was too late. Although the Liao army attacked several forts in Muna Mountain, they did not capture any of them. On the contrary, they lost some soldiers and horses.  But the Song army's most deadly attack came.  Many ministers in the Song Dynasty complained about the cost of this military campaign. Some even said that Wang Ju borrowed money to fight the war!  But the money is not spent in vain, such as military strength. ?? Wotela lamented the scale of the Song Dynasty¡¯s military strength this time. In fact, from Youzhou to Heqing Army, including Beihetao, there were only more than 300,000 soldiers and civilians distributed, and what else!  Now that the war has nothing to do with Fuyan Road and Huanqing Road, Liu Changzuo, Zhongshidao and other generals were all drawn out. Zhongshidao was the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army. In fact, Wang Ju and Zhang Kai originally wanted Zhongshidao to serve as the middle army.  The commander-in-chief of the army is not only for combat, but also for training, but Qu Zhen was afraid that he would not accept it, so he was changed to the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army, with Sun Zhao and Peng Sun as deputy generals, and Guo Jingxiu and Yao Gu as the forward troops, who sent out troops from the Huoshan Army.  Liu Changzuo was the commander-in-chief of the Central Route Army and the commander-in-chief of the three-pronged army, in case they could not cooperate with each other. At the same time, at Wang Ju's request, the imperial court issued an edict, allowing Liu Changzuo to have the power of life and death, even if the commander-in-chief of the West Route Army was Zhongshi Road and the East Route Army.  If the military commander, Qu Zhen, refuses to obey his orders, Liu Changzuo has the right to kill him!  At the same time, in order to give Liu Changzuo more authority, Li Xian was made the supervisor of the three armies.  Xue Yi and Yao Si were the deputy generals of the middle route army, Wang Guangzu and Wang Wenzhen were in the front line, and Wang Shilong was in the back line, and sent troops out of Kelan Army.  The leader of the East Route Army is Qu Zhen, and the deputy general is Mi Yun. The advance is Zhongpu. This is also the route with the smallest number of soldiers and horses among the three routes. The troops leave Yanmen Pass.  Three groups of troops marched towards Shuozhou in Wuzhou in a mighty manner, under the pretext of capturing the Lord of Liao alive.  Why can you listen to Yelu Hongji alive? Because now all the troops of the several states behind the mountains have been moved to the Junzijin ferry, or are trapped in Zhuolunchuan. The entire Liao Kingdom behind the mountains is empty of troops, and Yelu Hongji happens to be staying in Yun  state.  Yunzhou is not on the front line, but there is a highway from Shuozhou that leads directly to Yunzhou. At that time, the Liao army accumulated a lot of troops in various states, but Pan Mei took Yunzhou in thirty days, and also took Yingzhou by the way.  As long as the Song army is fast enough, it can completely capture the empty Yunzhou City before the main force of the Liao army withdraws. Of course, Yelu Hongji will also be captured alive
