Western Liao, Liucheng, Yingzhou.

Yelu Shilu's mansion became the town's commander's mansion at this time, with hideous heads such as tigers, wolfs, bears and leopards hanging on the wide lobby walls. The seat on the upper head was even covered with a rare white tiger skin, and everything showed the hastyness of the ex-master's escape.

Li Jing sat on the White Tiger Chair, blowing the steaming tea lightly, while listening to the report made by the march staff officer Li Liang.

The generals gathered in the lobby, each with a rosy complexion and a colorless face.

Not long ago, everyone was worried about the indecision of the war. As a result, after the prince circled around the Xi territory, the entire situation changed immediately. In less than half a month, the Khitan was defeated and the entire western Liaoning area was captured.

Until now, many officers still feel like they are in the clouds.

"In this battle, the prince first sent several troops on both sides of the east and west, and successfully attracted as many as 20,000 Khitan soldiers and 50,000 soldiers and 70,000 soldiers to various places. The 70,000 soldiers were attracted to Dushan, Bailang Mountain, Huaiyuan, Yan County and other places, which numbed the Khitans' vigilance. Especially the general chose this period after the New Year, and the sea was frozen, which made the Khitans even more relaxed. The prince personally led the elite troops to the Xi territory, and then suddenly inserted into Bailang Mountain between Dushan and Liucheng in Yingzhou. First annihilated the Khitan soldiers in Bailang Mountain, cut off the contact between Liucheng and Dushan, and then gathered troops to annihilate the Dushan defenders."

"When the Khitans discovered it, our army had already directly killed the city of Liucheng. The Zhao army leader and Zeng army leader who were in the east also launched an offensive at the right time to drag the Khitan soldiers and horses in the east. After we broke through Liucheng, the Khitans could not gather together. From beginning to end, we defeated each one with the same force, but, yes, let me see, the specific casualties of our army in this battle were the price of killing 1,370 people in battle and injuring more than 2,000 people. Finally, we annihilated Khitans, more than 8,500 soldiers in Xi, and more than 2,000 servants. And captured 5,000 soldiers and 15,000 servants. The annihilation and captives reached 47,000 people. In the end, there were only less than 25,000 Khitans, of which there were less than 8,000 soldiers. My colleagues, we won a great victory in this battle. At the cost of more than 3,000 casualties, we annihilated 30,000 enemies, 20,000 prisoners, and recovered the entire Yingzhou territory."

When Li Liang said excitedly, he couldn't help but wave his arms and his face turned red.

There was a burst of applause in the hall, which lasted for a long time.

"In western Liaoning, Liucheng, Bailang City, Rulu City, Wulu City, Liaoxi City, Yancheng, Huaiyuan City, Linhaidun City, all eight cities were recovered. The Khitans were repelled, and we not only captured 20,000 Khitan prisoners, but also had good news. In western Liaoning, there are now more than 10,000 households including Khitan, Xi, Turks, Tatars, Silla, Muhe, Goguryeo, Uighurs, Han people, etc., with a population of 68,000."

"In addition, after seizing western Liaoning, we seized more than 30,000 war horses, more than 50,000 cattle, more than 10,000 horses, and more than 200,000 sheep. In addition, there were more than 100,000 stones of food and grass, and more than 300,000 stagnants of money!"

Li Jing interrupted Li Liang's report and interrupted: "Apart from war horses, a large part of these seizures should come from the people who settled in western Liaoning. We must be careful when dealing with this. I have a preliminary idea to move all the populations of the Xi, Goguryeo and Khitans in western Liaoning to Ziqing Town, and move the Turks and Uighurs to Pyongyang, Qingzhou. In addition, the Marine and Tatars moved to Jinzhou, Jizhou and Xiuzhou on the Liaodong Peninsula. Then we moved the newly recruited people from the Central Plains to western Liaoning. We can register the property that originally belonged to these people, and after we moved them to the new land, we can then remove them from the records in the book to their houses, cattle, horses, land, tools and other properties."

Although most of the people living in western Liaoning are foreign tribes, Li Jing does not intend to be so xenophobic to foreign tribes. Absorption and assimilation are equally important. Especially when Li Jing's territory is getting bigger, the treatment of these Hu tribes is equally important.

We must be both prepared for these foreign tribes and at the same time attract them. Li Jing believes that as long as they are well managed, these people can also become the force to help the town grow stronger.

"There is no problem, the General Staff Office can draw up a migration strategy." Li Liang did not object to this proposal. The population in western Liaoning was not large, and now there were less than 100,000 prisoners. As long as half of them were moved and a population of 100,000 were moved from the Central Plains, the Hu tribe became a minority in western Liaoning.

"Zi Jun, what's the situation with Khitan and Goguryeo now?" Li Jing looked at Li Wei.

Li Wei stood up, took the bamboo whip from Li Liang's hand, cleared his throat, and stood in front of the large hanging map of the Northeast region to give guidance.

"The two Khitan general Yelu Shilu and Dushan Khitan general Yelu Yanmu are both alive. They brought about a total of about 8,000 defeated soldiers from western Liaoning and about 17,000 servants. They headed north along the west bank of the Liao River, and then retreated to Huangshui along the Western Liao River and returned to the Khitan grassland."

"In addition, the news we just received was that at the intersection of Tuhe River and Huangshui, the fourth brother of Yelu Yundeshi, the uncle of Yelu Pugu, the Khitan Yilijin, was defeated. Hebule and Hutu were almost completely lost, and only more than a thousand cavalry left fled along Tuhe River."

When Hebule and Hutu first entered the Khitan, they were in good condition. By surprise, they attacked several Khitan tribes and captured seven or eight small Khitan tribes. The two of them won consecutively, and they became a little careless. As a result, when Yelu Guzhi came with five thousand elite Khitan cavalry and heard the news, they themselves were not prepared. As a result, they were defeated by the Khitans in one battle, and almost disappeared Tatar soldiers and fled south.

"The son of King Xi Tu went to Zhu and led 10,000 cavalry of Xixi's troops to receive the order of the prince. He happened to march into the Tuhe area, rescued the two Hebule and counterattacked Yelu Guzhi, annihilated more than a thousand Khitan cavalry. Yelu Guzhi lost and led his army back to Huangshui. Hebule and Hutu are now staying in the Xiwang's tent with Duzhudu."

"In addition, after Hende Khan got the equipment we supported, he won several small victories at the beginning, but now he has lost one after another and has already lost a lot."

When Li Jing heard this, he couldn't help but shook his head and sighed. Although Hende Khan was determined, he was not very good at fighting. With excellent weapons, he still couldn't win. Now that the Khitans have withdrawn from western Liaoning, Hende Khan is probably even more unable to hold on.

After thinking about it, Li Jing felt that he could not give up on Khan Khan now. No matter what, his name was still very helpful to Li Jing.

"Send someone to send a letter to Hende Khan. If he can't support him, let him retreat to the Xi tent and join the Xi army and the Tatar soldiers there. We now occupy western Liaoning and are only separated from Xi's territory by the Qilaotu Mountains. Let them lean towards us, so that they can avoid worries."

Li Cunxiao couldn't help asking: "Prince, our army has won a new victory. Now there are Xi, Tatars and Khitan Khan's help. Why not take this opportunity to kill the Khitan in one fell swoop and destroy Diela directly?"

In this battle of western Liaoning, Li Jing led his army thousands of miles away, and the nine disciples who followed the army performed very well. Especially in the battle between Bailang Mountain and Dushan, Li Jing handed over his commanding flag to Li Cunxiao twice, and he led the entire army to charge bravely. After the war, Li Jing also commended him greatly.

However, Li Cun Xiao was brave, but when it comes to things at the strategic and tactical level, his sensitivity was seriously insufficient.

Li Jing looked at Liu Xun and chuckled and said, "What do you think?"

"I thought that this is not a good time to attack the Khitan." Liu Xun stood up and replied in a deep voice.

"Oh, why?"

Liu Xun pondered for a moment and organized his thoughts. Now he is the leader of the army and is becoming more and more mature.

"First, our army has captured Yingzhou, and Yingzhou is not yet determined, so it is not appropriate to use troops again. Second, although the Khitan has been defeated, its strength is particularly strong. When the Khitans are rashly going deep into the Khitans, the Khitans only need to escape from war, so our army will find it difficult to achieve success. Third, I think our main goal in the next stage should be to destroy Goguryeo first. Fourth, the subordinates believe that the Khitan civil strife is now, and Xi and Tatars have just joined me to fight with the Khitan. We only need to sit and watch for the moment, which is the best countermeasure."

Li Jing nodded and became more and more satisfied with the performance of this eldest disciple.

Although the Khitan has begun to transition to settlement, it is still a nomadic people after all. The new town is now in western Liaoning, and its foundation is not stable. If you start a large-scale military use and go deep into the grassland to fight, it is not rational. When fighting with the grasslands in the Central Plains, the most troublesome thing is that when the Central Plains attacks the grasslands, the grasslands will escape when they see the situation unfavorable, and play the trick of advancing and retreating with you.

Li Jing has just captured western Liaoning, and Fan Xinglong from Youzhou has sent troops to attack Pingzhou. In this case, it would be very unwise to use Khitan again.

In dealing with the Khitan, at this stage, we should use the barbarians to control the barbarians and mobilize Xi, Tatars and Hende Khan to deal with the Khitan together. The town can pay or even provide weapons, but it must not be mixed too much.

If you want to manage the Northeast, Li Jing's strategy should be steady and progressive, and then take control of the land after the land is established. There is no possibility of recurrence.

"Qilang, how is the construction of the western Liaoning Corridor?" Li Jing turned to Li Rang.

"Our army used 100,000 military and civilians to build the coastal passage along the Liaoxi Corridor from last winter. According to the route proposed by the commander, the Liaoxi Corridor will be built from Shanhaiguan to Anshi, with a total of 650 miles. The entire project is very large, and according to the plan, it requires a large amount of manpower and material resources. If both manpower and materials can be sufficient, it will take at least one year to open up." Li Rang replied truthfully.

A year is very long, but Li Jing also knew that a 650-mile road is not so easy to build. Especially this road will be the first time it will be repaired, and it will have no foundation.

"How much materials and manpower are needed? Even if you make a plan and report it, I will try my best to satisfy you." Li Jing knocked on the table and said seriously. Although there is no final road to go to the White Wolf Water Valley Road to Tongliao, although this road is an old road, it is not fast, and it is all in the mountains. Li Jing needs a faster and smoother road.

The western Liaoning Corridor will be faster and safer than the Wuzhong Road.

After the road was repaired, it went from Pingzhou to Shanhaiguan and went directly to Anshi, connecting with the entire Liaodong Peninsula, and connecting with domestic cities, Pyongyang City and other areas farther east.
