Everyone saw the place where Yelu Zongzhen died, and then went to the heavy artillery in the valley that was ready to go to watch, and they all admired them.

Zeng Gongliang said: "I didn't expect that there would be such a magical weapon in the world. One round of cannons would destroy the world! With such a magical weapon and such military achievements, the court should re-revise military books. If it is not re-revised, "The Seven Essences of the Martial Classics" would become a joke in the eyes of the world."

Wang Gui said: "If Neihan wants to, he will choose someone to re-exercise."

Zeng Gongliang shook his head: "How to make it? It is hard to know the essence of it if it is not the Du Wai-shang army."

Everyone surrounded more than twenty heavy artillery, but they couldn't see enough artillery. They had seen them, but the artillery that killed the Khitan king was naturally different.

Wang Gui said: "I heard that I left and wanted to go to Dongshengzhou to command the battle in Hequ. You and I made such a great contribution in the same year, and I have also been honored to have such honors. Last night, I recorded a poem about Chen Shi of Tang who went out to send him to the market."

Du Zhongxiao took a piece of plain paper handed over by Wang Gui and saw a poem by Chen Zi'ang: Suddenly, he heard that the general of heaven was rampant, and he returned to Loulan Kingdom and went to Shuofang City. He was wearing a war horse in gold and white feathers gathered magical weapons. The stars and moon opened the sky formation, and the mountains and rivers lined up the camps. The evening breeze blew the painting corners, and the spring colors shone flying flags. I knew that Ban Dingyuan was still a scholar.

After reading it, Du Zhongxiao hurriedly thanked him. Wang Gui was good at writing and calligraphy. Although he recorded other people's poems, his writing was full of spirit. The Khitan Hequ several states that he was about to go to battle were in Shuofang County, and this poem was in line with the situation.

When he was admitted to the Jinshi, Wang Anshi lost the top scorer because of the four words "Ruzi's friend", and the second place was Wang Gui. However, he and Han Jiang both became officials because of Enyin, and finally Yang Qian was appointed as the top scorer. After he ascended the title, Wang Gui had always been appointed as the Qing Dynasty. Although his official position was not as good as Du Zhongxiao at this time, his status was not much different. After returning, he was about to serve as the chief edict and became a straightforward.

Everyone had seen the heavy artillery and left with satisfaction. They took a train back to the capital by Baode Army. The report was reported to the capital. The news spread and the people in the capital were celebrating. The shadow of the Khitan giant had covered the Song Dynasty for decades and finally disappeared.

With the new news, Yelu Chongyuan had already been promoted to Emperor Datong Prefecture in Xijing with the support of Xiao Ge. Yelu Hongji, supported by important officials, became emperor in Xijin Prefecture in Nanjing. The Khitan was tense for a while.

Faced with this situation, Yelu Renxian finally replied to Han Qi and Du Zhongxiao, willing to lead the army to give up Fengzhou. However, for his younger brother Yelu Yixian, he clearly refused the Song army to release him. Han Qi and Du Zhongxiao understood that giving up Fengzhou and returning to Beijing was to support Yelu Hongji and for the sake of official business. If he put his younger brother Yelu Yixian back, he would be suspected of being a private matter. In extraordinary times, he would rather have his younger brother be a prisoner and then talk about it later.

Yelu Jiao first followed the envoys to return to the capital. With his brother, the Song Dynasty did not treat him harshly, nor did he even regard him as a prisoner. He had delicious food and drinks, and someone served him. According to Han Qi and Du Zhongxiao's suggestion, he would be granted his official position and be well maintained after returning to the capital.

After seeing off everyone, Du Zhongxiao cleaned up a little, preparing to send troops to Dongshengzhou with heavy artillery and other troops.

Han sent it out of the city and ordered his subordinates to bring wine to see Du Zhongxiao off. He raised his glass and said, "A scholar who was trained in the west of the capital, and once he was ordered to fight, he made great achievements. There was no big war in this trip, so he should occupy the city and guard the place carefully. The most rare thing in the world is the hearts of the people, and then go north. Since the late Tang Dynasty, the people have not seen the court's troops for two hundred years. When the system is in good condition, they should be properly appeased, occupy the place, and the people will be happy."

Du Zhongxiao took the wine, drank it all, turned over and gave a horse, and bowed to Han Qi, "Take care. Yelu Chongyuan has been emperor, and within a few years, he will not go south to commit the Song Dynasty. Hedong Road is the foundation of several states in Hequ in the north. There are no external troubles for the time being, and it can be vigorously rectified."

Han Qi said: "I will stay with the volcanic army for some time, urge the local government to build railways from the Baode army. I hope that in a few months, there will be trains until Dongshengzhou. As long as the railway is connected, there will be no worries in those places and no fear of foreigners attacking them."

Du Zhongxiao nodded and bowed to Han Qi: "I'm leaving, I'll leave!"

After saying that, he went north with Shi Quanbin. Zheng Lian, the deputy commander of the artillery, commanded the troops and horses, and led twenty-eight heavy artillery pieces together to head north. Yelu Ren first gave up Fengzhou and took away all the troops and horses of the Khitan. Several states had become empty cities, but they were actually Song territory.

There was nothing to say along the way. Due to the slow heavy artillery, Du Zhongxiao and his party arrived in Dongshengzhou three days later. Liu Ji, Shisanlang, Yao Shou and others welcomed into the city.

When he arrived at the yamen, Liu Ji said: "I got the news the day before yesterday that Yelu Ren had brought troops from several nearby states and had left Fengzhou. After crossing Yinshan, they went straight to the capital. Yang Wenguang had already brought troops to Fengzhou, Dou Shunqing was in Yunneizhou, and Zhao Zi was in Dongshengzhou. The Khitan had given up this area. Fengzhou and Zhenwu County did not need to arrange heavy troops. The most important thing is to be afraid that Dangxiang would come to rob him."

Du Zhongxiao said: "There are many Dangxiang tribes in this area, so we have to guard against this matter."

Liu Jidao: "The two armies of Heqing and Jinsu in the west were built by the Khitan in recent years. When the city was established, there were 500 households in each city, mostly Han people. The Khitan army left, and these Han people were still there, which saved us a lot of effort. Our army was more than 30,000 people. Please wait for instructions on how to arrange it."

Du Zhongxiao said: "The most important thing now is the Tiande Army. Immediately ordered Zhao Zi to take over the place. The area of ​​Chenshengzhou will be temporarily handed over to the cavalry. Once the Khitan army leaves, the small tribes here will not have any major threats, and ordered their troops not to harass them."

Liu Ji said no and immediately ordered someone to notify Zhao Zi of the Heqing Army and take his troops to the Tiande Army.

If Du Zhongxiao remembers it well, this area is the middle part of the Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region in later generations, from Hohhot to Baotou. This area is suitable for both agriculture and animal husbandry, and if the Yellow River flows through it, it can develop into an important agricultural area. For Central Plains civilization, planting a variety of land and planting good land is the foundation for civilization to persist. Developing this place will have the capital to prevent grassland people from moving south and expanding west to east.

During the Tang Dynasty, the city of surrender was built for several years and resettled various ethnic groups that had moved in. In addition to Dangxiang, there were also Tuyuhun, Turks, and Tatars. During the wars of the Five Dynasties, almost all the agricultural population here disappeared and became a pastoral area. Now that the railway is open, the mainland Han people are no longer working hard to move, and there are conditions for large-scale development. Du Zhongxiao's means of farming and field work are still there, so it should be able to develop.

The military is based on the people, and only the army will not develop. In the future, it will be the same as in previous dynasties. When the Central Plains is in chaos, it will become the Leyuan for the nomadic peoples and the springboard for them to enter the Central Plains. Developing agriculture, supporting the army, and complementing the military and civilians is the long-term solution.

At the foot of Yinshan Mountain and by the Yellow River, it is the springboard for the nomadic peoples in the northern grassland and the nomadic peoples from the northwest. The Khitan is not here at all. The fundamental land of the Khitan is the place occupied by the Khitan and the Zhongjing as the center, and the Khitan and Xi ethnic groups, namely the Hulunbuir grassland and Liaodong in later generations. It is precisely because of this that Yelu Renxian was willing to give up and lead his troops to rob the capital.

A few days later, the Song army occupied Fengzhou, Yunneizhou, Dongshengzhou, Jinsu army, Heqing army, Tiande army, and all counties under its jurisdiction, and took over the territory of the Khitan in Hequ. This area is vast and has a sparse population. It is not allowed to have a large state in the mainland, with less than 10,000 households.

It was also at this time that Du Zhongxiao's new official position was brought down to reward military merits. The Lang of the Ministry of Rites was promoted to the Right Censorate and was named the founding Duke of Xuchang County. The founding Duke of Xuchang County is the highest title that officials can grant if they are not prime ministers, and it is the privilege of the prime minister. Xuchang County is the county name of Xuzhou, Du Zhongxiao's hometown. This is a special honor and title is the hometown.

The dispatch was changed to the Hequ Road Strategic Envoy and the capital was deployed, and the Yingtian and other envoys were also established. The newly established Hequ Road was a military route, under the Hedong Road.

Although he was still under Han Qi on Hedong Road, from this time, Du Zhongxiao truly became the commander of the side, monopolizing the military and political power, and allowing him to act cheaply. Shi Quanbin was promoted to Jiedu from the regiment training and was still Du Zhongxiao's deputy, only one step away from establishing the festival.

All the officers of Yingtianxiang Army took the previous fake camera officers as their actual duties, ranging from three to eleven, and were promoted to the position of officials.

Liu Ji was directly rushing to the rampant position, and was appointed as the regiment commander, leading the Hequ Road to deploy military positions, and his military position was still the leader of the Yingtianxiang Army.

Shisanlang and Yao Shouxin were promoted from the fake Zuoshizheng to Zhuangzhai Envoy and Liuzhai Envoy to Yaojun. Their promotion ranks could no longer be calculated.

Yang Wenguang and Zhao Ziwensi envoyed Yao County, Dou Shunqing and Luoyuan envoyed Yao County, and countless other envoys.

This is an unprecedented promotion. If Du Zhongxiao had not had his former official position too low, Shi Quanbin would have directly established a festival. Du Zhongxiao was just a doctor before, and it was impossible to be promoted to the Sixth Minister. It would be a bit too much for Shi Quanbin to be the deputy governor.

The soldiers under the officers were everywhere, and the artillery was not even effective except for a few logistics personnel. In the current camp, Tianxiang Army, there was no ordinary soldiers in the entire battalion, and it was not uncommon for them to be envoys. This army has become flooded with officers and scarce.
