In the study, Lu Ning looked at the young man with red lips and white teeth in front of him with interest. This was Han Derang.

Empress Dowager Xiao’s love husband, a capable minister with literary and military strategies, in terms of martial arts, whether it was the Battle of Gaolianghe that defeated Zhao Guangyi or later repelled the four northern expeditions of the Song army, Han Derang was indispensable in it. During the regent of Empress Dowager Xiao, Han Derang was in charge of the country and the prosperity of the Liao Kingdom. This combination of men and women can be called the first contribution.

However, now he is just in his early twenties. Naturally, he is not the prime minister of the Great Liao in history. He is the chief minister of the Privy Council of the North and South Court and is responsible for the military and political affairs of the Liao Kingdom. Emperor Shengzong of Liao gave him a few iron certificates and a few sticks. He did not worship him when he entered the court or went to the palace. He was powerful than the sky.

But hearing his various actions of turning against each other in front of the formation and knowing his great reputation in history, it also makes people feel a little scared. This guy is destined to be no one in the pool.

However, as long as I can endure you to death and not let you cause trouble for my descendants, aren’t you going to be a cow and a horse for me all your life? Glow and heat up?

Lu Ning thought, and laughed in his heart. It had been a long time since he hadn't joked with him like this. He gradually became a local custom. It was rare that there was a name that made him feel like he had just come to this world at a certain moment.

However, just a joke just now was just a self-deprecating joke. In fact, Han Derang in history may not have much ambitions. It was just a torrent of history and his special relationship with Empress Dowager Xiao pushed him to that position. In addition to maintaining Empress Dowager Xiao and her son, Han Derang did not show any qualities of being arrogant in the later period. Empress Dowager Xiao's son Liao Shengzong was always close to her father and son, and it was completely different from Dorgon's kind.

"Have you met your father?" Lu Ning asked.

Now, Lu Ning is stationed in Guizhou, and nearly a month has passed since Zhu She Yelu Xidi.

During this period, Lu Ning ordered the troops to repair them while on guard, and rewarded the three armies and rewarded the meritorious soldiers. After all, destroying the Northern Han Dynasty and gaining all the light mountains, the Jiuzhou behind the mountains was obtained strategic initiative, and it was considered to have won the first phase of the battle.

Of course, the places in Youzhou are the highlights.

For example, in the late Liao Dynasty, the count of the townships was only 230,000, including Jing, Tokyo, Shangjing, and the three capitals. Nanjing, 570,000, and Yunzhou and other mountains behind the Jiuzhou, which was later Xijing Prefecture, and 320,000.

The center of the Liao Dynasty's rule has not moved south yet, but Youdu Prefecture is definitely the most densely populated area of ​​the Khitan.

When the troops were repaired, the reserve soldiers of the troops in front of the hall, the capital, Hedong and Hebei also added the front-line troops. At the same time, the soldiers and households in various prefectures recruited strong men to join the garrison to prepare for the garrison.

At the same time, Zhang Yanqing's troops in Daying of Huainan had 10,000 soldiers, and were changed to the "Bei Ning Army". They led the camp to the north and reorganized the Huainan Daying, and recruited tens of thousands of brave people from Huainan Prefecture.

In Datong, the newly surrendered Southern Army and the Bohai Army and other soldiers were organized into the "Datong Army". They were all military households and stationed in the area of ​​the Chanhekou area and the grasslands in the north of Yunzhou became the pastures of the Bohai households.

The Shenwu Army stationed in Yunzhou and the two armies of Beijing garrison rushed to Guizhou and met with the army in front of Juyongguan. After leaving Juyongguan, they could attack Youzhou.

After such a series of mobilizations, the Beijing Guards, the Palace Front Army, the Hedong Army, and the Hebei Army could encircle Youzhou at any time.

In fact, Yelu Xi's bottom was annihilated and countless war horses were obtained. The rapid mobile power of the Shenwu Army finally cursed everyone.

In addition, the Battle of Sanggan River continued, with more than 30,000 cavalrymen in the Liao army, more than 20,000 were killed and captured, and only thousands of cavalry flew north in a hurry. The military newspapers were sung all over the country. Not only were the morale greatly boosted, but even after the mansions reported to the whole country, the people had already been excited. In recent times, there have been many war puppet shows in the trenched houses in Bianjing, and the hearts of the army and the people were boosted to a very high point of excitement.

Many generals thought that the Holy Emperor would take advantage of the victory to pursue the enemy, lead troops out of Juyongguan, and attack Youzhou with their troops.

However, the Holy Emperor began to work hard to repair the troops.

Even though we took advantage of the slack farming process to recruit a large number of civilians to transport materials to Hebei, the focus was on the construction of the Yellow River dam. Every winter, recruiting civilians to repair water conservancy in all rivers, and the Yellow River was the top priority.

Of course, today's so-called corvee service actually has wages, but the wages are less.

In the Song Dynasty, the Yellow River disaster caused great trouble, and often whimsical thoughts on how to divert the Yellow River to prevent the Khitans, how to facilitate water transportation, etc. Even people like Wang Anshi were unable to avoid the vulgarity, which made the Yellow River often break the dike. Later, in order to resist the Jin soldiers digging the old path of the Yellow River, the Yellow River seized the Huai River into the sea, and directly turned the Central Plains into a yellow span.

It is impossible to be afraid of the Yellow River when it comes to this era. Governing the Yellow River has always been a compulsory subject for Lu Ning every winter after seizing the Central Plains. There are countless specialized supervision agencies. Until now, there are no middle-level officials who dare to fill their own pockets in water control. Because although Qi Lu inherited the emperor's generous and kindness, the corruption in the development of water conservancy and disaster relief are the only two who retain the punishments of even the clan members. Smart people will understand the meaning. In addition, the new dynasty is the new atmosphere, and the officials are relatively honest.

Therefore, most people today do not feel the impact of war.

Influenced by later generations, Lu Ning did not think that it was of great use to assemble too many troops. The main battles were always those elites. Cannon fodder looked scary when it was too many military horses. Not only did it consume a lot of military rations in vain, it made the logistics pressure extremely heavy. On the battlefield, it was also easy to be cut into melons and vegetables and turned into a breakthrough, which was burdened.

On the contrary, it is the king to quickly replenish the reserves of the main combat troops.

Now, in addition to ordering the reserves of each army to replenish the troops and recruiting brave men from the prefectures and military households to enter the reserve troops, only 10,000 Huainan troops were transferred to reinforce the battlefield in Hebei.

Of course, the combat effectiveness of the Huainan Army and the Hebei Army are worse than that of the Hedong Army, and more, they are responsible for defensive tasks.

Instead of taking advantage of the victory, Lu Ning took advantage of the slack farming and replenishing the army and replenishing the troops and transporting combat preparations into Hebei at the same time. This was to learn from the lessons of fighting against the Khitans in the Song Dynasty. The Song army fought against the Khitans several times, and the initial stage was very smooth. If the losses were lost, they were impatient and easy to advance. In the end, the Khitans turned their victory into defeat.

Nowadays, Lu Ning must take steady steps and take action step by step. Even if the Liao Lord does not attack actively, it will take two years to digest Yunzhou and other seven states behind the mountain.

Shortly after Yelu Xidi was defeated, the Liao lord's army had arrived in Youzhou.

Nowadays, there should be some monks who are confused. The Qi army is clearly in Juyongguan and the two are resisting Ma Henan. The next step is to attack Youzhou, but the Qi army is leading it but not launching it. It is like the Qi people originally targeted the Qi states behind the mountain, but they did not want to capture Youzhou.

In fact, Lu Ning thought about leading the Shenwu Army out of the Gangekou to contact and appease the Baidadan tribes. If the Baidadan tribe is willing to cooperate, he can lead the Shenwu Army to gallop across the grassland, and even attack Shangjing in the northeast. Only you can attack my capital. Now he will do the opposite, causing the Khitans to lose sight of one thing.

However, later I still felt that it was also a risky move forward, and the Baidadan tribes themselves had many conflicts, and they led their troops to advance without any progress. Once the Baidadan tribe repented, they would fall into Liao alone. Not to mention that it was dangerous or not, they were afraid of causing domestic shock and some major changes.

So, we should take a conservative move, and in the end, we should confront the main force of Youzhou and Khitan in Youzhou with sufficient preparations.

Of course, Lu Ning still sent an envoy to recruit Baidadan tribe outside Xikou (shenhekou). Whether it has any effect is another matter.

He himself stayed in Baoan Town.

That is, the Liao people changed their name to Wuzhou, Guihua Prefecture, and Lu Ning became Bao'an Jun Town, and set up a delegation training envoy, who was a fourth-rank official, and was in charge of military and civilian border affairs at the East Entrance.

Guizhou, which was changed to "Khan Prefecture", was abolished by Lu Ning and was under the jurisdiction of the Prime Minister of Baoan Town.

Xinzhou, which was changed to "Fengshengzhou" by the Liao people, was renamed Zhuolu Jun Town. Like Baoan Jun Town, it set up a delegation of troops to train military households, and serves as a supporter with Baoan Town to guard border affairs.

The confidential man Yuan Jizhong was promoted from Jinning Town to the League Training Envoy to Baoan Town, and was promoted to the League Training Envoy for six consecutive levels.

After all, Jinning Town comes from the county, and the group training envoys are only seventh rank, while Baoan Town Training envoys can be said to be an important general and official in the border area, and is the fourth rank.

Han Deshu, deputy commander of the Liao Dynasty's Nanjing military commander, who surrendered with Han Derang, was appointed as the regiment training envoy of Zhuolu Town.

Han Derang was summoned today, and it was the first time he met him. His father was captured and has surrendered now. When Lu Ning asked, Han Derang hurriedly bowed, "Yes, I saw my father, I regret not being the first!"

Lu Ning nodded slightly, "Okay, from today on, you will be by my side and be a confidential man."

Han Derang was stunned. In front of the Qi emperor, he felt a little nervous. The elegant emperor's aura that was unique to the Central Plains was not angry and powerful. The first lord of the Liao Kingdom did not have, and there was not the current lord of the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention, the other party glanced at him with a gentle glance, as if he could see through everything you were thinking.

In fact, it was because he saw the Qi army so heroic and good at fighting, and he couldn't help but feel awe of the Southern Emperor, but there was something even more terrifying. The Southern Emperor actually led a light cavalry to chase and shoot Yelu Xidi. How much this news would cause shock in the Khitan country? Han Derang could imagine.

In front of such a British master, Han Derang unknowingly felt tremendous psychological pressure.

But when Han Delang heard Emperor Qi's words, he was stunned. He was a little incredible that he could be summoned by Emperor Qi himself.

But he didn't think that Emperor Qi wanted to keep him by his side, which shows his importance to him, a surrendered general.

After being stunned for a while, Han Derang came to his senses and hurriedly knelt down, "Thank you Your Majesty, I will devote all my efforts to you in the future and serve you to die!"

Lu Ning smiled, nodded slightly, and said, "Follow me to Yanzi City tomorrow."

"Yes, I will accept the order!" Han Derang hurriedly bowed his head.
Chapter completed!
