"Report to the general, the Liao army camped at Yehu Ridge fifteen miles north."

"I got it, you go down."

"yes."

Li Jilong also ordered camps and camps. However, they were much more comfortable than the Liao army. They had food and tents, and there were charcoal fires in the tents.

"Master, why don't you continue to hunt down?" Wu Boli, the general from the Ryutani tribe, asked questions.

"Don't use it, the enemy will still fight trapped beasts and will be condescending. Once they are forced to hunt down, they will inevitably arouse their counterattack. It will be too expensive to annihilate them. Anyway, it's the fish in the net, so why bother to hurry up?" Li Jilong said.

There is more than this reason.

There is already a great victory, so don't worry, but win at the smallest price. Otherwise, the high pension will be far better than the reward. Moreover, every soldier dies, it means that the family will be broken. Although Li Jilong is not very good at politics, he still understands the simple truth. After fighting this battle, rewards, pensions, and reconstruction, I don't know how much it will cost.

Besides, we must recover Yan Yun and attack the north... we must preserve our strength.

If you stop and do not get out of touch with the infantry too far, keep the entire army moving forward, then there will be more chess pieces available in your hand. Especially for food and grass, the more you go north, the food and grass in Liao will be in crisis, and most of the Song army will also need a lot of food and grass, so the marching speed cannot be too fast.

It was beneficial to the Song army. The Song army slept in a tent with a quilt, while the Liao army slept in the wild, covered with dead grass, and they were exhausted.

The Liao army needed rest, and the Song army also needed rest.

besides……

He summoned the generals: "Yang Yanzhao, Qin Han, each of you leads 5,000 Xianping troops, detours the east side, and try to stay away from Yehu Ridge. Do not disturb the Liao army, and run to Gaoyang Pass day and night to wait for Wang Xian to transfer his orders."

"Here."

The two went down to point their soldiers and generals.

"Wei Neng, Zhang Ning, you will lead 5,000 ordinary cavalry to go to Gaoyang Pass to wait for your order."

"Here."

"If there is no accident, the Liao army will temporarily want to leave Daming Mansion as quickly as possible, then it will evacuate from the plain area east of Daming Mansion. Jingsi, Tian Min, you lead 5,000 Beiwei Army and Ma Zhijie, you lead 5,000 Xianping Army. You will first arrive at Gucheng Town, and then rest immediately. When the enemy arrives, you will ambush in advance. Scouts will then send a scout to monitor. If the enemy changes to the west of Daming Mansion, you must also immediately arrive at Daming Mansion and cooperate with our army. Launch an attack from the flanks."

"Here."

"It's better to send someone to notify the Prince of Daming Mansion again. This is better, Sun Quanzhao, you go to Daming Mansion immediately and recruit all the elite soldiers in the city to cooperate with General Jing, General Tian and General Ma to prepare for the war."

"Here."

"The rest is rest immediately."

At this moment, Song Jiu sent a quick letter.

Li Jilong opened it and looked at it. He smiled and said, "A clever plan."

It would be impossible for Song Jiu to complete such a great victory without Li Jilong and Cao Wei in front of the battle. But it was impossible for Li Jilong and Cao Wei to achieve such a great victory without Song Jiu's support and political sense of smell.

After a night of rest, several troops were moving.

The Liao army continued to flee to the northeast.

Li Jilong calmly ordered the army to set up a camp.

The infantry and food, supplies and supplies were also followed behind.

Finally, Zhao Heng led a large group of troops.

Song Jiu persuaded Zhao Heng to go north, but Zhao Heng agreed, but some ministers opposed it. Song Jiu said. Since ancient times, the five towns of mountains, the east town of Yishan, the south town of Kuaiji Mountain, the west town of Wushan, the north town of Yiwulu Mountain, and the middle town of Huo Mountain. However, after the decline of the Tang Dynasty, even Yanyun became a place for the Hu people, and even the five mountains of Hengshan Mountain became the territory of the Liao Kingdom. Not to mention Yiwulu Mountain. This time, Your Majesty will go north and worship Yiwulu Mountain. This is the symbol of the unification of the Central Plains and the unity of the world. Everyone, do you want to obstruct Your Majesty such a grand event?"

Zhao Heng's eyes immediately turned green.

Song Jiu suddenly hit the lifeline of all scholars and officials.

Zhang Qixian and Kou Zhun were groping.

As for other ministers, they are not much better.

What is a prosperous dynasty? The world does not have a unified state. At least China's territory was unified before, otherwise why did it be called a prosperous dynasty?

Yiwulu Mountain is also called Lushan, which is located in the boundary of Jinzhou in Yingzhou.

So without any objection, he led the imperial army to the north.

Song Jiuzhen was not interested in worshiping the five towns. However, when Zhao Heng went to the north, he would show respect for the north, which would help to quickly integrate this vast area. Moreover, through a period of growth and wisdom, people's thoughts would change with their life experiences. Through this, Zhao Heng and his ministers would become broad and enterprising, otherwise the north would still be lost.

If it is lost, what is the point of using troops to the north? It is better to keep the Liao Kingdom, restrain other nomadic peoples and only manage Yanyun.

Furthermore, the emergence of cotton can expand the scope of activities of the Song army in the north.

Moreover, the development of materialism also gave Song Jiu confidence. For example, steam engines were used in large-scale agricultural irrigation and initially appeared in textiles. Some people even studied how to use it to mine, build a narrow-gauge railway in large mines, and then transport the ore out with a simple steam train. As long as the technology keeps up, the cost will not be too high, and the mining efficiency will be greatly improved, and the current mineral output can be increased by more than twice.

If one day the entire Song Dynasty iron production reached more than 100,000 tons, the era of steel might gradually come.

This is the confidence to manage the north.

If the management is done well, the world will be stable. At least now, except for the north, no country will harm the Song Dynasty. I believe that even a person like Zhao Ji will not have the possibility of a country destruction from within with the current system of the Song Dynasty.

If you don’t manage well, you will have a headache in the north, even if you get Yan Yun.

And overseas also gave Song Jiu confidence.

There are still not many immigrants who have moved overseas, but only 100,000 households, mainly the people on Fujian Road. There are many mountains and few lands, and the wars during the Five Dynasties have led to a large population. In addition, there are people who believe in Buddhism, which has led to higher land occupation in temples, which further leads to tightening farmland. From now on, many families cannot afford to raise more children and their children drowned after birth.

Therefore, as the overseas islands gradually colonized successfully, many people moved their families where they could.

Moreover, Song Jiu has always painted those islands on the territory of the Song Dynasty, which is also very popular for the scholars and officials who love fame. They even sent a small number of officials to collect some taxes. They are relatively small, and only earn tens of thousands of dollars a year. However, although the lice are small, they are also meat. Moreover, as the people increase, the area of ​​development increases, the tax ratio is also gradually increasing, and there are many interests of the powerful and powerful, so they turn a blind eye to the scholars and officials. Anyway, they can make a profit overseas. Besides, the income from overseas development is not in the offshore, but in the Maritime Bureau and various invisible taxes driven.

So in recent years, nearly 100,000 overseas immigrants have reached nearly 100,000, and some people even went to the eastern coastline of Oceania to expel local indigenous people and began animal husbandry. Sheepskin has benefits, leather has benefits, and meat has also benefits after pickling. As well as spices, corals, tortoiseshell, jade, and even many uninhabited fertile areas, gold mines and various large mine pits have been discovered one after another, plus low taxes, these are profitable gains. Therefore, the number of people going overseas to hunt for gold gradually increased, although China has a strong sense of rural concept. In order to live, it has to leave home.

Song Jiu did not expect that the territory of the Song Dynasty would include the South China Sea islands and Oceania in the future. Even if it really developed to that day, it would inevitably split into several new Han countries. However, within these hundreds of years, various problems arising from population density will be solved.

Basically, his youth dream is gradually realizing.

Then a few hundred years later, a temporary new Middle-earth dynasty will stand on the top of the world.

...

This is the future, and the Liao army must be eaten and captured by the emperor.

A new battle begins.

As Li Jilong expected, in order to seize the speed, the Liao army indeed fled north from Gucheng Town Road to the east of Daming Prefecture.

Jing Si came out, Tian Min came out.

Although there were not many Beiwei Army, their cold heavy equipment was like a tank, as if there were no one among nearly 100,000 Liao troops. The Liao army fought and fled. Ma Zhijie also took the five thousand Xianping troops to wander around and dragged the Liao army here.

Then Li Jilong led the main cavalry to kill him.

It should be said that because Li Jilong divided the troops. At this time, the troops were not much higher than those of the Liao army. However, God knows when the huge infantry corps behind them will follow. This is the territory of Daming Mansion, not far from the main battlefield.

Moreover, at this time, the morale of the Liao army, which was finally aroused by Xiao Yanyan, gradually declined.

Xiao Guanyinnu was brave and left behind to attack, but don't forget that this was a plain area. The next day, Li Jilong laughed and ordered a detour, allowing Tian Shaobin to take a thousand cavalry to the north of Yehu Ridge, watch their Liao army, and then chased to the old town. At this time, most of the infantry of the Song army also arrived at Yehu Ridge. Tian Shaobin sent someone to shout, surrender and not kill. Xiao Guanyinnu still wanted to resist stubbornly. As the artillery bombarded the record of the Grand Historian, Xiao Guanyinnu was immediately captured by his subordinates and beheaded, and surrendered to the Song army.

Xiao Guanyinnu was loyal, but how many of these people wanted to be scapegoats?

Besides, seeing the arrival of large groups of Song Dynasty troops, coupled with the sharp killing weapons, the Liao soldiers were all terrified, so what courage did they have to continue fighting? Especially this is a team of coalition forces of various ethnic groups.

Li Jilong led most of the cavalry into the battlefield.

Wang Qinruo and Sun Quanzhao arrived with the army of Daming Mansion.

The Liao army immediately lost all its support.

Seeing that the defeat began, Xiao Talin immediately ordered: "Retreat to the north."

Escape again.

At dusk, when they fled to the western border of Guantao, the Liao army had less than 70,000 cavalry. The rest were not killed by the Song army, but mostly killed them.

Li Jilong continued to lead the army to follow behind and camped more than twenty miles away from their place.

Then he continued to order: "Sun Quanzhao, you bring 10,000 cavalry to Linshi to intercept. If the enemy does not escape from the eastern line, then rush to Beizhou. If the enemy does not escape from the eastern line, march towards Jizhou, and then wait for the order to transfer."

"Here."

"General Cao, according to the suggestion of Duke Song, I would like to ask you another thing. In case of precautions, the army has prepared ice skates. When you go to the rear, you will gather the soldiers who skate. With the help of the rivers, you will slid to Gaoyang Pass with tens of thousands of soldiers. Otherwise, the troops on the side of King Wang will still be insufficient. Then tell King Wang about the detailed battle situation before and assist him in commanding and mobilizing the arrangements. There is also a secret edict from Your Majesty here. If King Wang is afraid to fight or inappropriate command, you can replace him."

"Here."

"Li Jixuan, Liu Yong, you will take five thousand cavalry to Julu quickly. If the enemy does not escape from the eastern front, you will pass by Julu. It was about evening, and I will send light cavalry to catch up. You will then fight out of Julu, drag the enemy until most of our cavalry come up."

"Here."

Li Jilong rotated the soldiers to save their physical strength and then caught the cat with the Liao army.

But there was also, the next day, Xiao Talin hurriedly advanced. Although his troops were getting fewer and fewer, he was getting closer and closer to the northern line.

Li Chonghui came over with a light cavalry and shouted in front of the Liao army: "I inform your emperor that your empress dowager has been settled. Your Majesty issued an edict to transport it to your country for grand burial. Please ask your emperor to surrender quickly. Your Majesty will worship the King of Liao to Kaifu Yi and the Three Divisions and the Parliamentary Affairs of the Three Divisions, and will be restored for generations, and will always be granted ten thousand households."

It breaks the bottom line of all the official system of the Song Dynasty and becomes a first-rank official. In addition, it can also compensate for the income of this king and ten thousand households for generations.

However, Xiao Talin stood on Gaogang and asked: "You surrendered general, I ask you, where is Chairong in the Later Zhou Dynasty? Where is Li Yu in the Southern Tang Dynasty? Where is Liu Jiyuan in the Northern Han Dynasty? Where is Meng Chang in the Shu Kingdom? Where is Liu Yu in the Southern Han Dynasty? Where is Qian Shu in the Wu and Zhao?"

These people were very well-written by the Song Dynasty, but most of them died inexplicably and had no generational grace.
