In the camp and field affairs yamen, Du Zhongxiao, Wang Kai, and Zhang Qi gathered around a pot of charcoal fire, excitedly talking about the battle a few days ago.

Zhang Qi said: "After I brought soldiers and horses to accompany the Khitan generals, the guy didn't eat or drink, and the road was extremely difficult. Later, he ran into a small tribe, and this guy wanted to come forward to rob. I sent soldiers and horses to stop in front and escort the Tibetan people to leave safely, and they could only watch from behind. Since then, these Khitans have lost their hearts and fled all the way to the north, not knowing how many people will be able to return in the end. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "I can't go back." When the news of the Khitan defeat returned, several nearby tribes suddenly raised troops, plundered Ningbian Prefecture, crossed the Yellow River, and defected to the Dangxiang. On the way back, I was afraid that I would just bump into this group of soldiers. ”

Zhang Qi was taken aback: "What's the matter, the people in Ningbian Prefecture are reversed?" It's killing them! ”

Du Zhongxiao smiled slightly: "In the past few years, they oppressed the Tibetan Department so hard, they should have thought of today." It's just that the party took in these rebellious Tibetans, and I don't know how they fought this lawsuit. ”

With that, the soldier served the food and drinks and placed them on the table next to him. Du Zhongxiao said: "I'll drink two cups in the past and talk while eating." ”

The guests and hosts sat down, drank two glasses of wine, and Wang Kai said: "The Khitans who fled south to Fengzhou did not go far, and were caught up by my soldiers and horses, and all surrendered. They were all Tibetan tribes who had been captured by the Khitans, and it was natural to keep them. ”

Du Zhongxiao nodded again and again: "It is precisely because these Tibetan tribes were originally local clans and were forced by the Khitans to flee south." Now that they have been submitted, they will be arranged to work in the camp, and there is a shortage of people here. I have written to the imperial court to move the military city here. ”

Wang Kai said: "That's exactly how it should be. Build a partial head village and occupy Tanglong Town, the original military city is too far south. In the future, the two places of Tanglong Town and Yatou Village will also rely on the support of the camp and field affairs here to support money and grain. ”

This battle was a complete victory, and the Song army had almost no losses, and several main generals were happy in their hearts and raised their glasses again and again.

Due to the dilapidation of Fengzhou, the Fuzhou family is actually beyond the reach of Tanglong Town, and can only rely on volcanic military skills to support it in the future. However, the two places belong to different military roads, and how to coordinate and divide the jurisdiction in the future still needs to be determined by strategy. One thing is certain, after this war, the influence of the feudal towns in the three states outside the river will be even smaller, and the Zhejia will also be affected. The three of them knew this, but they didn't say anything.

Wang Kai said: "I have written to the Strategic Division, stating the situation of this battle, how to deal with it later, please make a decision." Also, I want to build a fortress across the river, garrison soldiers and horses, and cross the river from here, and help each other. Crossing the river from the ferry and turning over the mountain beam, it is a wide valley with a lot of fertile land that can be cultivated. There is a road along the river valley that leads directly to Tanglong Town, which is also an important place. ”

On the other side of the river is the jurisdiction of Fuzhou, Du Zhongxiao is not familiar with his situation, Wang Kai said this, Du Zhongxiao of course agreed.

The reason why Tanglong Town is important is that it is located on the main road from Hedong Road to the Eilechuan, which is one of the most important passages for the Central Plains to enter the prairie, and of course it is also the main road for nomads to go south. The decline of this era is due to the fact that there is no major nomadic force in the Eilechuan River under the Yin Mountain. The most important area in this area was the transition zone between agriculture and nomadism, and the roads were flat, which was later an important trade route.

On the second day, the official document of Bingzhou arrived at the Volcano Army, and Du Zhongxiao said goodbye to Wang Kai and Zhang Qi, and went to Bingzhou to report the matter.

After the end of the war, the Khitan and the party will inevitably send people to negotiate, and the economic strategy department will make arrangements as soon as possible. According to the usual practice, this is the affairs of the pacification department of the economic strategy department, which is generally presided over by the civil ministers, and the military generals rarely participate, so Du Zhongxiao went to merge the state.

Eight days later, Du Zhongxiao stood outside the city of Bingzhou, with infinite emotion in his heart. More than half a year ago, as soon as he made achievements here, he was kicked to the Volcano Army, and there was no resentment in his heart that was fake. Fortunately, by chance, I made new contributions, I hope I won't be tossed again.

After arriving at the state office, Zheng Jian asked Du Zhongxiao to meet him immediately in the back yahua hall.

This is a place that I am familiar with, and everything is still the way I left, but the personnel are no longer the same. When he arrived at the flower hall, Zheng Jian was already waiting there. After the salute, the guests and hosts took their seats.

Ordering tea, Zheng Jian said: "I already know about the Khitan entry into the Kou this time, but I don't know the details." This matter is related to the alliance between the two countries, and the matter is not small, and the Zhijun will talk about it one by one. ”

Du Zhongxiao gave his hand, starting from himself to the Volcano Army and building a camp.

Speaking of the situation of building the camp and the field, Zheng Jian stopped and said: "Is the place where you built the camp and the field forbidden?" Honestly, how far is it from the border? ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The Khitan people's closest to the camp is what they call the Yongbian Army, which is still no less than two hundred miles away. ”

Zheng Jian nodded: "Okay." It was an alliance between the two countries to stay on the border and not to farm, and since it was so far from the border, it would be fine. Zhijun, you have won the battle this time, and you are gratifying. But we and the Khitan are brotherly countries after all, and there is no reason to go to war now. If you occupy a single word everywhere, you will be much more relaxed when you negotiate with the Khitans later. If the negotiation is not lost, the battle can be regarded as a real victory. ”

Du Zhongxiao understood what Zheng Jian meant, won the battle, and finally cut the land, and there were many things in the Song Dynasty. Zheng Jian's personality will not allow this kind of thing to happen, he has won the battle on the battlefield, and he has to win at the negotiation table.

After the camp was built, it was Zhang Qi who patrolled the border. This is a matter arranged by the Economic Strategy Division, and Zheng Jian personally handles it, so he has no doubts. Later, Du Zhongxiao and Zhang Qi discussed, occupied Tanglong Town respectively, and rebuilt the partial head village, Zheng Jian listened very carefully. While listening, he inquired in detail about the situation around Tanglong Town and Yatou Village, and paid special attention to whether there were no Khitans. As for Xiao Fanbu, he didn't care.

After hearing that Zhang Qi occupied Tanglong Town, the party members went to negotiate and interjected and asked, "How far are the party members from Tanglong Town?" ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "The closest place to the party is the enemy Shengzhou and Dulun Village, and Dulun Village is closer, and it is also two hundred miles away. In addition, Dulunzhai was originally the territory of this dynasty, which was occupied by the party, and it has not been ceded to the party so far. ”

Dulun Village is an important place outside the river, a few years ago it was broken by the party members, and there was still a debate when the peace was negotiated, and there was no definite conclusion, and it has been abandoned now. As for Shengzhou in the north, it is actually mainly dependent on the Tibetan tribe of the party and barely counted as a place for the Khitans.

Zheng Jian nodded and let Du Zhongxiao finish. Hearing that in the end, the Song army did not take the initiative to attack the Khitans except for releasing some guns and cannons when they counterattacked in Tanglong Town, Zheng Jian was amazed: "The most decent thing for you this time is that when the Khitans were embarrassed, they kept holding back and not attacking. In the end, they were defeated by the attached Tibetan tribe, and they were to blame, and they could not complain about this dynasty. This matter occupies a rational word, and it will be easy to handle later. ”

Du Zhongxiao said: "Not only did we not attack the Khitans, but even the corpses they abandoned on the road, we also stayed there." One is that it is freezing and not so many people do it, and the other is to leave it to the Khitan people to see. ”

Zheng Jian smiled when he heard this: "It's a bit unkind, but it's reasonable." Well, you have handled this matter very well. A few days later, the Khitans got the news, and the envoy of the northwest road to pacify him came to negotiate. I want to take you as the main thing, and I will negotiate this matter in Tanglong Town. ”

Du Zhongxiao surrendered his hands and obeyed orders. There is only one civil official in that area, and this can only be said to be the case.

Zheng Jian said again: "I want to show you as the judge of the Economic Strategy Division, what does the army think?" ”
