After Xu Feng dismissed these generals, he took advantage of the situation and asked Li Gang to select a large number of generals from the Skeleton Army and the returned Song Army, and take over the rest of the Song Army.

 In this way, Xu Feng took control of nearly 40 troops inside and outside the city in a very short period of time.

 At this time, Xu Feng didn't have to worry about anything, he could wantonly liquidate the capitulation officials in the court, and he was not afraid that they would make a big mess.

 "Cheng Yao, according to my list, start arresting in the city, and no one is allowed to escape."

 At the beginning of July, Xu Feng summoned Cheng Yao and directly gave Cheng Yao a list, all of which were officials and ministers Xu Feng wanted to arrest.

 "Your Majesty, I really want to catch them all!"

 Looking at the densely packed names of court officials on the list, Cheng Yao was also horrified.

 If all of these were really caught, it is estimated that the Northern Song Dynasty court would be paralyzed by most of them.

 "Go and catch, you just go and catch people, and you don't need to worry about the rest."

 "Yes, Your Majesty."

 Afterwards, Cheng Yao mobilized [-] imperial troops and started a frantic arresting journey in Bianjing city.

 "Li Gang, draw up a list of officials suitable for promotion as soon as possible."

 After Cheng Yao left, Xu Feng said to Li Gang.

 Otherwise, if such an official is arrested and a replacement cannot be found as soon as possible, then most of the Northern Song court will be paralyzed.

 On the other side, Cheng Yao received Xu Feng's order, and the first person to be arrested was Zhang Bangchang.

 Zhang Bangchang was the leader of the officials who surrendered among the civil servants of the north court. When the Jin army went south, the Song army moved slowly and was not mobilized in time.

 It was because of Zhang Bangchang's blind command in the court, who blindly encouraged Song Qinzong, saying that as long as he succumbed to the Jin people, the Jin people would not conquer Bianjing.

 Anyway, Song Dynasty is still very rich, and Song Qinzong thought it was quite appropriate to pay compensation in exchange for the retreat of the Jin army.

 Anyway, since the establishment of the Northern Song Dynasty, it has been used to paying compensation all the way until it was destroyed.

 Therefore, as a general of the main combat faction in the Song Army, Cheng Yao hated Zhang Bangchang very much.

 After Cheng Yao took Xu Feng's order and mobilized the Jin army to start arresting people, his first choice was Zhang Bangchang.

 What's more, Cheng Yao himself led the team to arrest Zhang Bangchang.

 "What are you doing, this is Master Zhang's family!

 You soldiers, who let you in. "

 As soon as Cheng Yao led the people to the gate of Zhang Bangchang's mansion, they were stopped by their nursing home and shouted arrogantly.

 "Fuck you."

 A general of the Song Army in front kicked over the nursing courtyard, and then rushed in with his men.

 These soldiers began to arrest people wantonly, but anyone who dared to resist was knocked to the ground.

 Not long after, Zhang Bangchang was escorted in front of Cheng Yao, with a pair of panda eyes on his face, it was obvious that someone couldn't help it.

 "Cheng Yao, what do you mean?"

 Zhang Bangchang yelled at Cheng Yao at this time, but he was actually terrified inside.

 Because he knew that without Xu Feng's intention, Song generals like Cheng Yao would never dare to attack him.

 That is to say, the one who really wants to arrest him this time is actually the current Holy Majesty.

 At this moment, Zhang Bangchang felt cool inside.

 Two days ago, the Holy One did not return the attitude of letting go of the past, how can you change your face when you change your face!

 "Zhang Bangchang, your good days are over, take them away!"

 Looking at Zhang Bangchang who was caught, Cheng Yao couldn't help feeling happy.

 When Zhang Bangchang was arrested, other Song troops from all walks of life were also in the city, and began to arrest them wantonly, and other officials of the surrender faction.

 The arrest was so powerful that it was known throughout the city.

 A day later, dozens of officials were arrested, all middle and senior officials.

 Soon, their charges were also settled, the crime of wronging the country!

 This crime is not enough to make them beheaded.

 Moreover, the Song Dynasty did not kill scholar-bureaucrats. Senior officials like them would not be killed unless they committed heinous crimes.

 In the end, Xu Feng relegated all these people to serve in remote and poor areas, which is also the tradition of the Song Dynasty.

 Some officials were arrested, and soon some officials were promoted.

 Now, all the officials in Song Dynasty understood Xu Feng's intention, that is, they would never surrender.

 All of a sudden, all the officials of the Song Dynasty became staunch fighters, as if they had unified their caliber.

 Afterwards, Xu Feng handed over all civil affairs of the court to Li Gang.

 Xu Feng, on the other hand, devoted his energy to dealing with military affairs.

 However, at this time, from the Forbidden Army in Bianjing City to the local Xiang Army, the entire Song Army system has long been bloated.

 The Song Army had several million troops, and the food and salaries allocated by the court alone were astronomical figures every year, but their combat power was really unsightly.

 In many places, the Xiang army had nothing to do except to eat food and pay every month, and it was useless, which was tantamount to letting the court support them for nothing.

 Under such circumstances, it is too difficult to rectify.

 Even if one is not done well, there will be a big mess.

 Therefore, Xu Feng decided to keep this system for the time being, and then rely on part of the finances he took back from the Jinren to find another way and set up another army first.

 Then slowly reduce the huge Xiang army in various places, and finally complete the replacement, allowing the new army to replace the weak Xiang army.

 All in all, Xu Feng sent 20 West Route Army troops back to the Xixia border in the next six months to stabilize the situation there.

 Xu Feng started to act in Bianjing.

 "Ding! Congratulations to the host for completing the new task, no rewards.

 The task was accepted, and all three tasks without rewards were completed, and then the task returned to normal. "

 After Xu Feng stayed in Bianjing, dealt with those capitulators, and activated a large number of officials from the main combat faction, the voice of the system finally sounded in Xu Feng's mind.

 Afterwards, the system fell silent and did not continue to issue tasks.

 At this time, Xu Feng also started to rectify the Song army in Bianjing, as well as the preparations for the new army,

 First of all, Xu Feng rectified the Song army, first reducing the number of Xiang armies in various places, and not cutting too much at one time. After a long time, the Xiang armies will exist in name only.

 After all, the Xiang army is just too numerous at this time, and they are not useless.

 At least the Xiang army is there, which can maintain the stability of the social order in a place. They may not be good at fighting, but they are still very good at bullying the people.

 Later, the Northern Song court had to organize Song Qinzong's funeral, and other officials would do these things, so Xu Feng didn't have to worry about them.

 At the same time, Xu Feng did not have the year name, and continued to use 'Jingkang', and told the civil and military courts of the Manchu Dynasty that the golden man would never die, and the year name would not be changed.

 In the next six months, Xu Feng began to recruit new soldiers for training using the property he had taken back from the Jinren.

 In the past, the court of the Northern Song Dynasty lacked war horses, and without them, it was impossible to form cavalry troops.

 Fortunately, this time Xu Feng and the others defeated the Jin army and captured tens of thousands of horses from the Jin man.

 With these horses, Xu Feng can use the Skeleton Army as a model to recruit more soldiers and train a new Skeleton Army cavalry.

 According to Xu Feng's plan, he will train at least [-] cavalry and [-] infantry within half a year to form a new army.

 The formation of [-] recruits cost countless money and food. Fortunately, Xu Feng took back the huge amount of property that the Jinren looted.

 Otherwise, even if the court of the Northern Song Dynasty was still relatively rich at this time, they would not be able to support Xu Feng's military training on such a large scale all at once.

 At this time, there are still more than 2000 summoning places in Xu Feng's system.

 After the system is repaired, these system quotas can no longer be used to summon killer soldiers, but they can be used to summon other advisers and generals.

 Xiang Yu and Li Yuanba were summoned from the system by Xu Feng who spent a thousand summoning quotas.

 Now Xu Feng still has more than 2000 quotas, and he plans to call two more people, a commander in chief and a minister of the interior.

 Let one of them help Xu Feng temporarily guard the border and buy time for him, and the other handle government affairs and govern the court for him.

 In the end, Xu Feng chose Han Xin and Xun Yu.

 Immediately, Xu Feng appointed Xun Yu as a cabinet scholar, and together with Li Gang, he assisted Xu Feng.

 On Han Xin's side, Xu Feng originally planned to let him lead tens of thousands of Song troops to the north side of Zhending Mansion to build a line of defense to prevent the Jin people from going south at any time.

 But in September of the second year of Jingkang, Xu Feng had no choice but to change this decision due to the sudden report of a [-] urgent battle from the northwest border.

 In September of the second year of Jingkang, the Northern Song Dynasty left at the border between the Northwest and Xixia, and the Xixia army attacked again.

 The Xixia army received the news that a large part of the various Song armies in the northwest had withdrawn to the Guan Neiqin King.

 In this way, the Xixia people saw an opportunity.

 Immediately, in the middle of Jiuyuan, tens of thousands of Xixia troops suddenly rushed over. They crossed the border and attacked several cities on the Northern Song Dynasty side of the northwest border.

 After Xu Feng received the news in Bianjing, he was also very angry.

 These Xixia people like to be shit stirrers the most.

 Before the Liao Kingdom was wiped out by the Jin people, the Xixia people did the same.

 Xixia, compared to the Northern Song Dynasty, or the already destroyed Liao Kingdom, or the Jin Dynasty, which is now in full swing, is the weakest.

 In the past, the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom fought every day.

 Every time, when the Northern Song Dynasty and the Liao Kingdom were both defeated, Xixia would jump out, take advantage of the fire, attack the Northern Song Dynasty, and support the Liao people.

 It is precisely because of Xixia's shit-stirring stick that the Northern Song Dynasty was unable to get a chance to recuperate.

 This allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to formulate a special policy to destroy Xixia first and then attack Liao.

 When the Northern Song Dynasty attacked Xixia with all its strength, Xixia couldn't hold it anymore, so it would go to the Liao Kingdom for support.

 The Liao people also knew that Xixia could not really be wiped out, and the existence of Xixia would well contain the Northern Song Dynasty.

 Therefore, the Liao people will have a tacit understanding. When Xixia was attacked by the Song army, they also began to attack the Song country southward.

 The Northern Song Dynasty has been fighting on two fronts.

 In order to destroy Xixia, the Northern Song Dynasty paid a huge price.

 The West Route Army, which was set up to conquer Xixia at this time, has become the main force against Xixia.

 It's a pity that even though the West Route Army has been fighting for so many years, it still failed to destroy Xixia.

 After the Jin people destroyed the Liao Kingdom, the Jin people immediately replaced the Liao people, and the Xixia people continued to cooperate with the Jin people.

 This time, Xixia took the initiative to attack and captured many strategic places in the Northern Song Dynasty. Xu Feng was very angry when he heard the news.

 But at this time, the new army in Xu Feng's hand hadn't finished training, so it was useless to go there.

 Therefore, Xu Feng asked Han Xin to set off from Bianjing with 20 Song Army West Route Army to fight towards the northwest desert.

 Xu Feng told Han Xin that he only needs to lead the army and guard the border between the Northern Song Dynasty and the Xixia people, and he can finish it soon.

 At the end of November, Han Xin led the 20 West Route Army northward.

 A month later, Xu Feng was in Bianjing, and received the battle report sent back by Han Xin, and all the attacks of the Xixia people had been beaten back.

 Most of the strategic places captured by the Xixia people have also been taken back by them.

 However, Han Xin was not satisfied with this victory, he asked Xu Feng to lead the attack on Xixia.

 Xu Feng hesitated again and again, and decided to agree to Han Xin's request, and sent Li Yuanba to the border of Xixia to assist Han Xin in combat.

 Two months later, Xu Feng began to receive good news one after another in Bianjing.

 Han Xin led the 20 Song Army West Route Army, and on the northwest border, they harassed the Xixia people.

 However, Han Xin was also unable to truly eliminate Xixia, because the terrain on Xixia's side was more complicated and cruel.

 It is impossible to defeat the Xixia army with only infantry.
