I became the son of Renzong

Xiao Yu also estimated that the Song Dynasty’s rule over Fenghua Prefecture and Guihua Prefecture would definitely not be like those prefectures and counties in Nanjing Daoxijin Prefecture. It would only be a nominal occupation, and it would be too late for governance. thing.

At the same time, because the Northwest Army of the Song Dynasty and the Yunzhou Army marched eastward from Fenghua Prefecture and Guihua Prefecture, and fought all the way there, the Daliao army along this road was basically wiped out.

Therefore, in the areas of Fenghua Prefecture and Guihua Prefecture, Song Guo will not stay with too many troops, this is his chance...

Xiao Dai didn't know that the Northwest Recruitment Department of the Daliao Dynasty was stationed, that is, Kedun City. Because of the defense of the Northwest, the ancestors stipulated that there should be no less than [-] war horses and fine cavalry at any time.

Even the Northwest Army of the State of Song never set foot in Ketun City... because the Northwest Army of the State of Song went out, and the strategic goal was to encircle and suppress the Daliao Army on Nanjing Road.

This also makes today's Ketun City the only remaining new force in Daliao.

As long as he moves to Fenghua Prefecture and Guihua Prefecture to the north, he will be able to reach Kedun City, and use Kedun City as a base to gather all forces from the Northwest Recruitment Division of the Great Liao Dynasty to plan for the funeral!

Da Song's campaign against Xijin Prefecture should come to an end.

During the nearly one-month campaign, a total of more than [-] Khitans with totem tattoos were exterminated.That is to say, in addition to the frontal battlefield, Song Dynasty wiped out nearly [-] main cavalry of Beiliao.

The entire sweeping operation basically went through the entire Nanjing Road, and there should be no more organized remnants of the Northern Liao Dynasty.As for those wandering soldiers, it depends on whether Wang Yang's people in Nanjing Road can complete the final elimination under the specific temptation.

At this time, the front court of the Song Dynasty began to prepare for the next attack goal of crossing Yanshan.

"Report..."

It had been a long time since there was such an urgent report, and the entire Chinese military tent fell silent for a while.

"Report... Fenghua Prefecture's garrison team urgently reported that nearly [-] Northern Liao cavalry passed through Fenghua Prefecture yesterday and marched north. The Northern Liao cavalry were all equipped with one man and two cavalry, and did not report to me in Fenghua State attacks."

"Considering the disparity in combat power between the enemy and us, the Fenghua Prefecture garrison did not attack, but stuck to Fenghua Prefecture City."

Not many people take what the orderly said behind them.The garrison left behind in Fenghua Prefecture is less than [-], which is a way of declaring sovereignty, and he does not need to undertake the task of intercepting and killing the remnants of the Northern Liao Dynasty.

Especially this kind of formation with a large number of teams.

Everyone is thinking about the origin of this part of the elite cavalry of the Northern Liao Dynasty...

"There are still experts in Beiliao!"

Zhao Xi looked at the entire sand table on Nanjing Road and admired it from the bottom of his heart.Indeed, with such a report, combined with the sand table of the entire Nanjing Road, it is not difficult for Zhao Xi to figure out the whole story of the incident.

They are very smart, they don't attack Da Song's garrison at all, they just pass by.In this way, the hostility can be reduced to a certain extent, and it can also avoid the Song Dynasty's beacon message, so that it will attract a large number of Song troops to encircle and chase.

"At the beginning of the Hebei Dao battlefield, people saw the right time to withdraw from the battlefield. When all our attention was focused on the melee of the Chinese army and the recovery of the Xijin Mansion, there was a gap in the western armies... Right here, Chasing the Deer Mountain.”

"Find a col to hide at will, and wait for our army to clear it... The thinking is clear and the timing is ingenious!"

Zhao Xi was commenting, almost restoring Xiao Dabuye's escape process.It's just that this feeling makes the entire Chinese military tent very uncomfortable.

The entire Hebei Road War was basically an encirclement with three missing one.To put it bluntly, Song Dynasty was unable to deploy troops in the northeast direction of Nanjing Road in Beiliao, so it let go of the way out in the northeast direction.

This is also the direction in which the imperial court will continue to send troops.

But who would have thought that someone from the Northern Liao Dynasty would get out of the encirclement of the Song Dynasty, and it was still the northwest direction of the three armies of the Northwest Army, Yunzhou Army, and Weizhou Army.

"Officials, the generals in the northwest have failed their duties!"

It's not to shirk responsibility, it's just a feeling.The entire encirclement performed its own duties, and if there was a problem with someone's defense line, it would naturally be whose responsibility it was.

"There is no dereliction of duty. At that time, the Chinese army issued an order to form an encirclement circle on time. The Northwest Army and Yunzhou Army on the North Road focused on moving northeast and clearing all obstacles to the north of Xijin Mansion."

"At the beginning of the war, that is, when the Beiliao frontline was in chaos, the Northern Route Army needed to go northward across the board to intercept the Beiliao army fleeing north."

"And at this time, the North Route Army no longer has the responsibility to defend the western front. This time there is a mistake, the responsibility is not on the North Route Army."

Zhang Dun hated Wen Yanbo's wording that he should be held accountable.How should I put it, it should be a new generation of generals, or a new generation of civil servants, who are not used to this kind of practice of taking the blame when something happens.

However, nearly [-] Northern Liao deserters passed through Fenghua Prefecture, and there was indeed a problem on the West Road.Zhang Dun was not allowed to explain the whole process.

The words behind it are: the responsibility lies with the frontline headquarters.

Zhao Xi suppressed Wen Yanbo's willingness to continue arguing.Then he gave Wang Zhongzheng a wink and asked him to clear out the irrelevant personnel in the palace tent, and asked the Imperial City Siqin to guard the surroundings of the palace tent.

"I am not responsible for this matter, I did it on purpose!"

"Everyone, please think about it. After the formation of the encirclement circle around Beiliao, we only need to advance steadily to force all the soldiers and horses of Beiliao forces to flee to the northeast. Why did we transfer the Northern Route Army to the east after the formation of the encirclement circle? "

"Is it possible to intercept the Northern Liao army fleeing north? It is impossible for any large army, especially a simple cavalry team, to intercept more than a dozen or even hundreds of thousands of fleeing cavalry from the Beiliao army."

"I'm not going to let my soldiers die in vain."

"The reason why the Northern Route Army was transferred out of the way to the west, so that there was a gap, is that I deliberately let some of the Beiliao army escape from the west."

"Now it's basically clear that the emperor of Beiliao had already left the battlefield before the encirclement and suppression campaign. At that time, the only way to escape was to the northeast, that is, he could only escape to the Zhongjing Road in Beiliao."

"The behavior of the emperor of Beiliao is to abandon other forces in Beiliao, and abandon the hundreds of thousands of cavalry in Beiliao. Can no one complain?"

"But such grievances, as long as they finally escape to Zhongjing Road, with the elite strength of the Beiliao royal family of [-], those forces who fled to Zhongjing Road will have to accept the continued rule of the Beiliao Emperor."

"The difference in escaping to the west, when choosing a different escape route from the Beiliao Emperor, means that he has lost confidence in the Beiliao Emperor and intends to start anew."

"Such germination, I, Da Song, should give it convenience."

"Everyone, apart from the relationship with the wool economy, the rule of the prairie is to use barbarians to control barbarians. The specific terrain of the prairie determines the way the imperial court governs the prairie."

"Leaving aside the question of the complete elimination of the Northern Liao court, the imperial court needs to prepare as soon as possible for how to maintain the disputes and balance among the various grassland tribes such as Dangxiang, Tubo, Khitan, and Menggu after the Northern Liao was wiped out."

"The reason why I left such a retreat when deploying the encirclement circle is to prevent the future of the grassland from being unified by the current state's Fanqi, auxiliary Fanqi, and recruiting Fanqi."

"Next, the task of going deep into the grasslands to pursue the remaining soldiers of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and even attacking the exiled imperial court of the Northern Liao Dynasty will be completed by Fanqi, assisting Fanqi, and even recruiting Fanqi."

"Some hatred needs to be guided, and only hatred can build the balance of the grassland's future. Only in this way can Da Song live at the level of an adjudicator."

Chapter 953 The situation is improving

The means of judging the grassland, the first is armament, which is aimed at assisting and recruiting Fanqi.The second is food, which will target all forces in the entire grassland.Without Yanyun, the food of those nomads is bound to go into a situation of scarcity and shortage.The third is commerce. Whether it is salt, iron or wool, it can play a role in adjusting the entire grassland.

Zhao Xi had already planned this before the great battle to destroy the Northern Liao Dynasty.

In the era of cold weapons and backward technology, Zhao Xi had long considered the issue of the rule of the grassland, or the issue of restraint.I really can't think of any better way.

Zhao Xi finally had to adopt this method of raising tigers and leopards in captivity...

Are tigers a problem?The question is whether you keep a tiger or not, the tiger will eventually grow.Such problems have persisted for a long time in later generations.

Captivity, at the very least, can control the strength of tigers and leopards, and to a certain extent, it is beneficial to Song Dynasty's control over the grasslands, and I dare not say absolute rule.

Can understand the minds of officials.I have to admit that this is a real foresight by the officials.

The loopholes left by the army on the Northwest Road are simply a stroke of genius.
