Standing on the former Liaoxia border, more than a year ago, he was here with high spirits, looking forward to defeating the Liao State and establishing a supreme reputation, but now, he is standing here again, even if he has achieved great results, in terms of strength, it is far from what it used to be.

From an emperor, he has become a separatist force, and even to a certain extent, he is not much better than Liukou, if it is not for a coincidence, he will definitely not be able to accumulate so much strength.

From the battle with Liao, and even before, during the battle of Liaoxia, Yuan Hao never thought that he would completely kill Liao Xingzong, even if it was a year ago, he was lucky to catch Liao Xingzong, and the best result was to let him go, and Xixia had not yet borne the consequences of killing Liao Xingzong.

But when he entered the territory of Liao as a rogue, if he had the opportunity, he would not hesitate to start, but he didn't have a chance.

15 days and 7 battles, before the addition, three wars, wiped out 40,000 Tielin Army, it can be said that Yuan Hao almost exerted all his strength to the extreme, and only then did he achieve such a result, but the result was that he had done his best, and if he continued, there might be results, but the result was that he would never be able to escape.

Yuan Hao clearly knows where is his foundation, with hundreds of thousands of immigrants from the Liao country, plus 40,000 troops and 30,000 equipment, in a year's time, as long as a little accumulation, you can have an army that has always had combat effectiveness and recapture the original land of Wuzhou.

This is what Yuan Hao should do, around Liao Xingzong, there are at least 80,000 troops for a long time, most of which are the Tielin Army and the Pi Room Army.

In the battle with the Tielin Army, although Yuan Hao achieved great results, the head-on collision also made him understand that the other party was not weak, and if it were not for the special conditions, he would not be able to compare with the Liao State.

The continuous, long-term and high-intensity operations have brought the troops under his command to the brink of collapse, and if they persist and fail, it will not be the Liao army, but him.

Finally, after taking a look at the vast grassland, Yuan Hao left without hesitation, and even knew that the territory of Western Xia was a little empty, and he could get huge benefits from casual fighting, so he didn't go.

This is the most correct choice, after Liao Xingzong left, the vast majority of the remaining Liao troops on the territory of Western Xia retreated to the city.

After a huge killing, as well as the Lingzhou Peace Conference, there are really not many things left in Western Xia, even the population, because of the agreement between Han Qi and Liao, a large number of them were transported to the Northern Song Dynasty, Yuan Hao At this moment, if he goes to Western Xia, he will not get any benefits at all, but will fall into the quagmire.

Half a month after Yuan Hao left Liao, a cavalry team of at least 80,000 people hurriedly came, and under the long-distance attack, this team with only half of the heavy cavalry looked a little tired.

Liao Xingzong looked at the last traces left by Yuan Hao, and sighed, he got the news 15 days ago, the important town of Datong Mansion in the northwest was conquered, in order to prevent encountering traps, he even mobilized enough troops, and wasted a long time, so he went to Datong, but Datong stayed, but it was a ruin.

Although Yuan Hao did not use Datong Mansion to attack Liao Xingzong, he also destroyed Datong Mansion and burned the entire city, which is also the fundamental reason why Liao Guo got the news.

In the western part of the entire Liao country, if there is a city with a background, take on an important task, then Datong Mansion is definitely one of them, now, because the Liao State occupies the status of Xingqing Mansion, Datong Mansion, a slight decline, but no matter what, it is also a city with a long history and profound heritage, but this city was destroyed in one fell swoop, and there were 5000 Liao troops who perished with this city.

Yuan Hao entered the territory of Liao, causing the killing on the grassland, not to mention for the time being, but the loss of simple soldiers, close to 100,000, which is a huge loss for Liao, Liao with hundreds of thousands, but the real mobile force that can be used, that is, two or three hundred thousand, one-third, or even half of the loss, this is really unacceptable, not to mention, the loss of a large number of people.

For this reason, Liao Xingzong even crossed the Datong Mansion and pursued riskily, all the way for thousands of miles, but he only followed Yuan Hao's footsteps, and according to the familiar reconnaissance words, he had been walking for at least more than 10 days.

For Yuan Hao, who is all cavalry, on the prairie, without any obstacles, it is almost impossible to chase.

Liao Xingzong knew this before, and when he chased him to the border of Liaoxia, he did his best, and it was certain that Yuan Hao really ran away.

The war between Liao and Yuan Hao came to an end, and Liao Xingzong hurried back, not only did not make any gains, but suffered huge losses, not to mention the loss of population and finance, even if it was a direct loss of the army, it exceeded 100,000 people, which was a heavy blow to the Liao State.

In fact, the greater loss lies in the loss of population, but now, for the Liao State, they have not yet realized this, they can only lick their wounds, the nationwide conscription has begun, for the Liao State, they must recover their troops as much as possible in a short period of time, in order to prevent the provocation of the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Hao.

That is, in the process of solicitation, a lot of things came out, and the places that could have been collected were suddenly reduced by many people.

Can there be a lot, 4 million people have evaporated, it turns out, the rich tribe, has become a blank land, in such a place, even if you try to find it, you can't find anyone, under the high pressure above, after the bottom can be pieced together, some soldiers who are more than 40 years old, or even 50 years old, have also been recruited into the Liao army.

This is a later story, not to mention it for the time being, Liao Xingzong and Yuan Hao did not realize that this war, which was thousands of miles away, and almost the entire situation of the war was recorded by the Northern Song Dynasty.

Since the appearance of Zhao Xin, he began to realize the collection of intelligence on the Liao State.

Originally, it was difficult to obtain top-secret information, but now it can be analyzed and judged through the changes in some commodities and some market life.

Not to mention anything else, in the entire range of Zhongjing, a wide range of funerals, all prove the tragedy of this battle, Zhongjing is the current capital of Liao, almost most of the leather room army, Tielin Army are living in Zhongjing, when the news of the death comes back, of course, the whole family Dai Xiao.

Maybe this can't judge the overall casualty figure, but this time, the Northern Song Dynasty had a natural advantage, after trading with Yuan Hao, at the request of the Northern Song Dynasty, two intelligence officers were dispatched.

At the very beginning, it was rejected by Yuan Hao, it can be said that Yuan Hao was walking on the tightrope at that time, and any slightest omission could be wiped out, how could it be possible to let the two Northern Song Dynasty personnel follow.

But the Northern Song Dynasty made some concessions, mainly materially, and could provide some intelligence support, plus, there were only two people.

Yuan Hao is also a master, he knows very well that how can two people, especially the two people who are staring at him, pass on the news, he was just in trouble before.

Now, for these two people to follow, he can get 500 sets of armor, and a lot of information about the Liao State, which is a very big price, after bargaining, after raising this number to 800 sets, Yuan Hao agreed.

These two intelligence officers can follow Yuan Hao's actions, they can't pass on the news in time, but they can record it, Yuan Hao will also send them some data after the war, in Yuan Hao's opinion, these are completely unnecessary things, but in the eyes of the Northern Song Dynasty, they are like a treasure.

It is precisely because of Zhao Xin's proposal that the Northern Song Dynasty entered the era of data in advance, and anything can be faked, but a wide range of data cannot be faked, this data not only helped the Northern Song Dynasty, assessed the battle of Liaoxia, the overall loss of the Liao State, but also allowed the Northern Song Dynasty to have a close understanding of Yuan Hao.

From the methods of combat, the habits of command, plus some other aspects, a systematic and comprehensive understanding of Yuan Hao.

In many cases, some flaws are exposed from these habits, and in the future, when the Northern Song Dynasty and Yuan Hao were at war, these habits will become the focus of staff officers' study of tactics.

Targeted attacks, attacks against certain habits, this is a sign of famous generals in ancient wars, especially the habits formed for a long time, it is not easy to change at all, but it is not easy to inquire about it, the Northern Song Dynasty did this, but it was also unintentional to insert willows, and they were more important to assess the losses of the Liao State.

When following Yuan Hao, it is impossible for these intelligence officers to pass on information, and it is impossible for Yuan Hao to pass it on to them, God knows, who they are passing it on, if it is given to Liao, isn't it exposed.

However, after Datong Mansion, Yuan Hao had already decided to leave as quickly as possible, and according to his reconnaissance at that time, there was no large Liao army within the range of at least 500 miles around, and the largest location of the Liao army was in Xingqing Mansion, which was the original capital of Western Xia.

Where are they stationed, they are either surrendered or second-line troops, and the total number is only 50,000, this part, Yuan Hao does not pay attention to it at all, 30,000 heavy cavalry, 10,000 light cavalry, such a team, let alone 50,000 miscellaneous troops, and 50,000 is not enough.

In this case, of course, there is no problem, according to the previous plan with the Northern Song Dynasty, their war is over, and they will be separated from the two intelligence officers.

These two intelligence officers are also good, after leaving Datong Mansion, they quickly stepped up, and it took more than 1 day to enter the territory of the Northern Song Dynasty, and then for the first time, they handed over the things recorded from Yuan Hao's side to the secret channel.

These personnel were sent by Jia Chaochang, of course, inheriting Jia Chaochang's will, they observed the war process of Yuan Hao almost the whole process, and formed a report, when this report, finally summarized to the Privy Council, became the focus of Northern Song Dynasty research.

Of course, in addition to the Privy Council, Di Qing and other military elites who also appeared, and it was up to them to judge how much the Liao State had lost.

When this report was sent to the Privy Council, all the people in the Privy Council who were qualified to have access to such a piece of information had the first feeling that it was impossible.

That's right, it's not a mistake.

Western Xia has perished, it stands to reason that the most important thing to do to the Liao State is to make trouble, but looking at Yuan Hao's performance in the Liao State, it is simply the most impossible premise to achieve such a result, with the current Northern Song Dynasty, including Han Qi, all the generals cannot do better than Yuan Hao.

The most important thing is Yuan Hao's ruthlessness, in less than a year, he caused boundless slaughter on the grassland, conservatively estimated, at least more than 4 million, such a bloody method, no general in the Northern Song Dynasty can do it.

Of course, dealing with unarmed herdsmen, or herdsmen with miscellaneous combat effectiveness, it's really no problem to kill, 8 months, non-stop killing, killing so much, really in exchange for the Northern Song Dynasty, the professionally trained army, will kill more, but can kill and the final kill, those are two different things.

Not to mention anything else, as long as they do this, what awaits them will be a nightmare, 4 million blood, which is not something that ordinary people can bear.

Even if the former god of killing Bai Qi killed hundreds of thousands of Zhao Jun and was murderous, but in the end, he was still feared by the King of Qin, and in the end he did not die well, that was still in the pre-Qin, to the era when Confucianism was dominant, such a killing was unforgivable for Confucianism.

Not to mention, in the Northern Song Dynasty, the status of military generals was very embarrassing, and under the premise of emphasizing literature over military force, not to mention that there was any problem, even if there was no problem, it would make a trumped-up problem and ruin your reputation, not to mention killing so many people, no matter who it was, just speaking about the official could make them completely sink.

Yuan Hao's murderous aura has almost been determined, and the number of killings is a definite number, so for Jia Chaochang, the most important thing now is to determine the loss of the Liao State, and whether the Liao State after the huge loss has the ability to withstand the surprise attack of the Northern Song Dynasty.

From the determination of the first war against the Liao State, until now, a long time has passed, and the border fortress, under the care of Jia Chaochang, has chosen a key location for construction, and according to Di Qing's judgment, the defense strength has been at least doubled compared with before. The transformation of the longbowmen has also begun, and the strength of the forbidden army has improved a lot.

These are all beneficial places for the Northern Song Dynasty, but in the end, the reason why the trip did not take place is that for the judgment of the Liao State, this is the only shot to the Liao State for decades, and it must be guaranteed to be foolproof, otherwise, once the loss is lost, there is no need for Han Qi to fight, and he Jia Chaochang himself will go down.

This battle is related to Jia Chaochang's political fate, even a little achievement, it is enough for him to stabilize the situation, and even go further, he has to be careful, the entire Privy Council has begun, and in this name it has been operated, and a large number of people have jointly analyzed this war thousands of miles away, and almost every detail has been analyzed.
