After more than ten miles away from Dongjia Village, I entered the canyon, and the river bank was no longer accessible. A group of Khitans watched the road on the shore turning towards the ridges and gathered together to discuss: "If you walk along the river, not to mention the rapid flow of water ahead and the ice surface is really dangerous, just say that there is no food or firewood on the river, how far can you go? It is better to go ashore and walk north along the road. We just need to bypass the Song Army Fortress."

Everyone agreed and climbed towards the ridge from the ice. About one mile and about to reach the top of the mountain, they saw a new fort in front of them and couldn't help but complain. After Du Zhongxiao rebuilt the Biedou Village, he immediately built a post shop in the rear, twenty miles a day, and it happened to be newly built here.

The Song general standing in front of the village said loudly: "You are invading the territory of our Song Dynasty. If you don't have the ability to attack, you are so kind. You dare to rush to my fortress. Are you not trying to die? If you dare to take the lead, you will shoot you to death!"

The Khitans looked at each other, not knowing how to answer. This place is dozens of miles away from Bietouzhai, and it has already penetrated into the Song Dynasty. It is useless to distinguish it strangely. But the future is really bleak, and the crowd pushes me and I pushes forward slowly and moves forward.

The Song army on the ridge received military orders and Khitans were not allowed to go ashore along the way. How could they be polite? The bow and arrow shot down from the head and face.

At this time, the Khitans were exhausted and attacked the mountain bridge again. Where could they fight? Several people were shot to death, and the others scattered and reached the river again. Even the injured Khitans were thrown on the road, no one cared about it.

The Song army watched on the ridge, but did not chase after him, but just kept the road tightly. After passing here, go north and go north, there are cliffs on both sides of the Yellow River. It is impossible for the Khitans to get ashore. If you have a great life, you can walk along the Yellow River all the way back to Ningbianzhou.

The Shi family slaves had been walking along the mountain road for two days, and the food had been exhausted. All the horses were injured and sick, and they were slaughtered and headed north with gritted teeth. The Song army behind them still followed not far and near, without giving up at all.

At this point, dozens of wounded people who were thrown down along the road could not stand the escape, and the Shi family slave was worried.

Seeing that the front became more and more desolate, the trees and grasslands began to become sparse, and the sand began to have more areas, the factory slaves became more anxious. At this moment, a fast horse arrived at the Shijia slave and stopped. The knight immediately crossed his hands and said loudly: "Mr. Langjun, there is a small bride in front of him, with some cattle and sheep!"

After hearing this, the Shi family slave was overjoyed and hurriedly ordered his personal soldiers to mobilize all the elite troops to go and rob. There were cattle and sheep, and this small tribe might have stored food and grass. If you grab it last time, you might be able to support your way to Ningbian Prefecture.

Before the Khitans were ready, they heard a low trumpet sound behind them. Before the trumpet sounded, the sound of horse hooves came, like a sudden rain. The Shi family slave turned around and saw more than a hundred Song army cavalry roaring across the hillside not far away, and heading forward like flying.

The Khitans stared at the Song army galloping by, not understanding what was going on. After following for so long, could the Song army be about to attack?

The Shi family slave was stunned for a while, and suddenly realized it, slapped his thigh, and said angrily: "No, the Song army was heading for the Fan tribe!"

The Khitan beside him then realized it and looked at the Shi family slave together. The personal soldiers asked anxiously: "Langjun, what should I do?"

Shi Family Nu looked at fifty or sixty Song cavalry turning around and lined up to block the way forward, feeling disappointed. The Song army's attitude was very obvious, that the Khitans could walk, but they were not allowed to plunder the foreign troops along the way. At this time, how could their subordinates fight against the Song army? They had enough soldiers and enough food, but their own people were all defeated soldiers. Shi Family Nu would not seek death by themselves.

It was very pleasant to go deep into the enemy's territory to loot without resistance, but once it was dragged by the enemy, this situation would become a situation of death. The Song army did not need to fight with the Khitans at all, and it would be enough to completely cut off their food and supplies.

In the Bietou Village, Du Zhongxiao sat in the village hall, listening to his subordinates reporting the whereabouts of the Khitans. After hearing this, he nodded and said, "Send elite soldiers who are familiar with local geography to watch the Khitans along the river. As long as they don't get ashore, don't worry about them. The rest of the soldiers should step up the repair of the fortress. The Khitans suffered such a loss, and it is difficult to guarantee that they will not retaliate after the New Year. We will prepare early."

The soldiers agreed to the promise, left and made arrangements.

Du Zhongxiao sat quietly behind the case, planning the war. The Khitans fell to this area mainly because they were so smooth in the past few years. When winter came, they robbed everywhere and were unstoppable. The surrounding small bands were robbed so many that many bands followed them, which enhanced their strength. Since the Khitans entered here, if the bands wanted to be safe, they either relied on the Dangxiang people or joined the Khitans, and the original owner of the Song Dynasty was ignored. The Song army was just the Yellow River. In addition to the trade, the bands also forgot the existence of the Song army.

This year, the Song army suddenly came forward, and at first, everyone didn't take it seriously. Until the Khitan failed to attack Tanglong Town, the foreign tribes in this area suddenly discovered that their former masters had returned and took the initiative to move closer to the Song army fort. At this time, the Khitans could not grab it, but they went deeper into the Song territory one or two hundred miles away. When they woke up, they could no longer go back.

To fight, the Khitans could surround and annihilate them when they left Tanglong Town, but the Song army did not fight. This was discussed by Du Zhongxiao, Wang Kai and Zhang Ke during the Volcanic Army. Unless they had no choice, they would not take the initiative to start a war against the Khitans and slowly torture them to death. They did not take the initiative to attack, and when the aftermath was later, they would have something to say to the Khitans. The Khitans were the ones who started the battle, and the Song army restrained them everywhere and tried their best to maintain the alliance. There was another role, Du Zhongxiao believed that it was more important, that was, let the foreign tribes in this area take a look, the Khitans were just like this.

If you want to occupy hundreds of miles of land around you, it is impossible for no one to rely on the army. This is the disadvantage of the Song Dynasty. There is not enough nomadic population. Like the Khitan and Dangxiang, they can move the population here and move their own tribes to come over, and they can only try their best to win over local foreign households. The foreign people fear power but do not have virtue, so let them see what the consequences of the strongest Khitans coming to attack.

The Khitans in Ningbian Prefecture have been completely finished. The next thing they are to consider is how to negotiate with the Khitan. Whether it is the Song Dynasty or the Khitan, it is impossible to completely break up at this time, so they still have to sit down and talk.

Standing up, Du Zhongxiao walked a few steps, but had no clue. The negotiations were not something he could do, and he could only follow the ideas of the General Secretary. Du Zhongxiao was not sure what Zheng Jian would be. At this time, Du Zhongxiao felt that it was better for Xia La to continue to be a strategic commander here. When he was in need of a comeback, he would never give in to the Khitans.

At the Bingzhou General Secretary’s Office, Zheng Jian looked at the battle report of the Tanglong Town sent by Wang Kai and pondered without saying a word.

Tanglong Town, the Volcanic Army and the Piertou Village are triangle-shaped. If they are occupied tightly, they can control hundreds of miles of land. Zheng Jian still clearly understood this. He did not pay attention to it before because Tanglong Town faced the attack of Dangxiang, and the Song army did not want to open more battlefields. Another thing is that the area is vast and sparsely populated, and after occupying it, the court was not interested. Now, it is another matter to discuss peace with Dangxiang and the war has subsided.

This time, the Khitans took the initiative to enter the Song realm to rob, and from the beginning to the end, the Song army did not take the initiative and had already taken the initiative. Zheng Jian's only worry now was that he would need two or three thousand soldiers to occupy this place, and where did the money and food come from? The closest to the Volcanic Army is the Prefecture, which has no extra money and food there. Other places are too far away and the transportation is inconvenient.

After thinking about it, Zheng Jian said to the official standing by: "Xingwen Volcano Army, let the magistrate Du Zhongxiao come to Bingzhou to discuss matters!"
