Fengzhou was established during the Sui Dynasty, and was originally located west of Tiande Army, near the Heishan Military Supervisor Office. This state is right under Yinshan Mountain, and its geographical location is extremely important. It is the forefront of farming and nomadic nomads, so it was repeatedly established. In the fourth year of Zhenguan, the Turks were attached to the inner gates, and Fengzhou Governor's Office was established here to manage the Turks who were attached to it. It was collectively known as the Six Prefectures of Hequ in the Period.

After the late Tang Dynasty, Fengzhou did not exist. Fengzhou is now newly established and is not in the original Fengzhou. Fengzhou of the Song Dynasty was on the northernmost side of Hedong Road, and its geographical location was actually similar to Fengzhou of the Sui Dynasty, and it was still the forefront of guarding against the threat from the north. However, the border line of the Central Plains dynasty had shrunk by hundreds of miles southward, and Fengzhou moved hundreds of miles southeast.

There were several Fengzhous in the Khitan, which existed at the same time. Since passing Xingzhou, including the Hengshan area, the outer periphery of Yunzhou that the Song Dynasty wanted to attack were actually the six prefectures of Hequ, including several prefectures facing Yunzhou by the Song Dynasty. These six prefectures of Hequ were also the place where Dangxiang started his own family and the area with the widest distribution of tribes.

After Xiao Puda and Zhang Fonu died, the Song army had no obstacles and broke into Dongshengzhou, Yunneizhou and Zhenwu County, and headed straight to the capital of Fengzhou in Khitan. The Khitan faced Dangxiang's first line of defense, Zhaotai, to the southwest of Zhaotai, and only Fengzhou was left.

At this time, the Datong Jiedushi who confronted the Khitan across the mountains, Tanglong County and Shuozhou Jiedushi who confronted the Yellow River, and the vast majority of the prefectures and counties under the jurisdiction of the Tiande Army have been captured. The geographical defense line that confronted the Khitan has been advanced to Yun and Shuozhou and Fengzhou, which is a prominent part of the basin mainly in these two prefectures, is 500 miles away.

The Xuping Protectorate and Zhang Kang's Ningshuo Army were stationed in Yunneizhou, about 200 miles away from Fengzhou City. The Hengshuo Army, who was stationed in Zhenwu County, guarded the intersection of the roads between Tongyun and Shuo Prefectures. The Qingshuo Army, who was led by Liu Jianji, built a city on the northeast of Xuping, under Yinshan Mountain. Both Liu Jianji and Cao Keming's headquarters were about 100 miles away from Fengzhou.

Facing Fengzhou, Xu Ping set up a horn formation and waited for the arrival of Yelu Zongzhen's army. The Xiang army under Yeli Wangrong ruled by the Dangxiang Army between Xu Ping and Liu Jianji, and Cheng Keshang set up tents respectively between Xu Ping and Cao Keming. They did not enter the city, but the tent of the grassland stretched for nearly a hundred miles, completely blocking the entire basin east of Fengzhou. When the Khitan soldiers came to fight, they were the first thing they had to face.

This basin, nearly a hundred miles wide from north to south, is flat and is an endless grassland. The Golden River flows through the middle, from Fengzhou to Yunneizhou, and from Dongshengzhou to Dongshengzhou to join the Yellow River.

This is a natural battlefield with a wide terrain, enough for hundreds of thousands of troops to set up their formations to decide the outcome. After this battle, the Song Dynasty and the Khitan were able to have a clear understanding of the strength of both sides.

If this is a national war, Xu Ping's army had a geographical advantage. The roads in the rear were smooth and could obtain supplies from Guanzhong and Hedong, forming a cross-strike with Daizhou against the three states of Khitan Yun, Shuo and Ying. From Yunzhou to Fengzhou, the rear of Khitan had to go around the north, no less than 500 miles. The Song army could also attack Dezhou from Zhenwu County to cut off their supply line. However, the two sides were just a tentative war. The newly captured land by the Song army did not have a stable mind, so it was not important to be better or worse.

Standing at the city of Yunneizhou, Xu Ping held a telescope and looked at the vast grassland outside the city and the continuous Yinshan Mountains in the north.

Zhang Kang stood beside him, holding the female wall, looked together for a while, and said, "Why are there no cattle and sheep in such a pasture made of heaven and earth? It is said that the grass has not yet withered at this time, and it is strange that the herdsmen are grazing everywhere!"

Xu Ping didn't look back and said lightly: "What's strange about it? The Dangxiang Army has gone through the way, and all the tribes have been stolen. Qingshang and others killed them and received rewards, and the cattle and sheep were handed over to the Protectorate's Mansion for money. The remaining women and children have already fled."

"It is a pity to buy land here."

"Escape to the Khitan side? In just two months, the Khitan army will arrive. I am afraid that they will first clean up the tribes that are unstable. Do you think the Khitans will not do what the Dangxiang people have done? Now it's okay to escape to the mountains or those who escape to the back of us. I am afraid that those who escape to the Khitan side will still escape in two or three months."

This kind of story on the prairie has been staged for thousands of years. The main characters and supporting characters are changed on the stage. The content of the story has never changed. Killing, looting, and reproduction for a period of time. It will be repeated again. Starting from occupying this place, the Khitan will conquer this prairie in a few years. In fact, what they do is the same as the Dangxiang Army.

Only the forces of the Central Plains dynasty can calm this land and let the people here truly live a peaceful life will only be the power of the Central Plains dynasty arrive here and start to settle. The nomadic tribes can exchange necessary materials with the reclamation area with cattle and sheep, greatly increasing their ability to fight against natural disasters, and killing will temporarily stop. Pastoral pastoral songs require support from the agricultural reclamation area, thinking that driving cattle and sheep curtains to the sky and leisurely in the world is just a fantasy.

Without farming support, most fishing, hunting and nomadic peoples could not even enter a tribal slave society, let alone establishing states and regimes. Who would think that primitive people lived a desirable life? In fact, the current Khitan still has serious remnants of the primitive commune system, which gradually became a country with the increase of agricultural components.

Without the Khitan, the great enemy, Xu Ping could not take such fierce measures to use the huge national strength of the Central Plains to slowly digest the place and transform it into a good place that is suitable for farming and peasantry. However, with the Khitan, there is only this method to completely clear the original forces on this land and start from scratch. Otherwise, Yinshan would have become another Hengshan again.

There is no need to think that Dangxiang people are so cruel, this is what they have always been on the grassland. Only after this, can we reclaim farmland on this land and slowly combine farming and herdsmen to end this turbulent and uneasy situation. Xu Ping's previous life was like many people. Looking at the nomadic peoples that have lasted for hundreds of years in history, he thought they were leisurely strolling on the grasslands and reproduction generation after generation. After understanding it, it was not the case, but outsiders didn't know how many killings there were. In fact, I don't know how many forces they changed.

Putting away the telescope, Xu Ping said to Zhang Kang: "This city is too small. How can our tens of thousands of troops be manipulated? From tomorrow, you will arrange your troops and build a few more cities around you. First, build a city opposite the Jin River and stand alongside our current city. If you have enough manpower, build more castles along the two sides."

Zhang Kang was stunned: "The opposite Fengzhou is five hundred miles away from Yunzhou, and the Khitans cannot station a large army there. The troops stationed in this area will not be more than now. There is no need to build a city anymore, right?"

"It's also idle. It's probably two months later that the Khitan army will arrive in Fengzhou. More than 100,000 troops are idle here for two months. It's not a problem. Just think it's to find something for the army to do and let him build a city. We transported a lot of artillery with the army and put it on the castle at that time. Try all kinds of methods, how to install it is the best way to use it."

Yelu Zongzhen came, and the first one to fight with them was the Dangxiang army. After the Dangxiang army could not support it, they were asked to attack the city. Xu Ping did not occupy Fengzhou, so he just defeated the Khitan army. Of course, he had to choose the most favorable method.
