After giving seats to Yinghao's family of four, Huang Qiong picked up his two grandchildren one by one. Looking at the two grandsons looking so tiger-like, Huang Qiong liked them more and more the more they looked at them. Although I can no longer hold my son, even if I want to break the tradition of holding a son but not a grandchild for this son. But now, my son is taller than me, and I can't hold him even if I want to. Fortunately, the two grandsons are very lovable, and hugging them can make up for the regrets of the past. Holding her two grandsons in her arms, Huang Qiong felt even more emotional.
Over there, Huang Ruifeng has been left out in the cold ever since Yinghao's family of four came in. Seeing this scene in front of him, the loving father and son, who was more than twenty years late, also didn't know what to say. He didn't know for a moment whether this matter should be blamed on the rather mysterious Aunt Ying, who was never mentioned by his mother-in-law or Aunt He. Or should I blame myself for this? Although my appearance is not outstanding, my height is not outstanding, and I have nothing but a skill that can change everything, and my position as an emperor, I am a father who is merciful at all times?
He really doesn't know now, apart from Yinghao in front of him, and the two brothers from the Yuan family and the Fan family, how many brothers does he have yet to meet? At this time, Huang Ruifeng's only feeling was that he was so tired. After the appearance of the man in front of him and Yuan Hongwei, his ranking among the brothers had dropped from the second to the fourth. If there are several brothers who are older than myself, I don't know where I will fall in this ranking. Think about it, sliding from the second brother to the fourth brother.
Huang Ruifeng himself felt quite awkward. Of course, he only dared to complain about this matter in his heart, and naturally he would not dare to complain publicly. He already felt that he was being manipulated to the point of death by this petty emperor. If I complain openly again, I, the emperor, may cause some trouble. Just when Huang Ruifeng was thinking in his heart about his father. Huang Qiong said to him: "Go quickly and tell me to hold a banquet immediately. I will have a good time with your brother today."
After hearing his father's instructions, Huang Ruifeng could only roll his eyes helplessly when he looked at Aunt Ying, who was obviously weak when she came out of the back hall, and turned around to give the instructions. He just waited until he brought the eunuchs and palace maids who were carrying the meals and brought the wine and food. Before he could say anything, he didn't want to be kicked out by his own emperor. I was busy working on it for a long time, but in the end I had nothing to do. This meal of food and wine was a family reunion dinner and had nothing to do with me.
Looking at the closed palace door in front of him, Huang Ruifeng could only smile bitterly. Li Hai, who was beside him, could only persuade him when he saw this scene: "Second Master, don't be angry, and don't create any gap between you and His Majesty. You have grown up by His Majesty's side since you were a child, and this person today I just met His Majesty for the first time. You also know His Majesty's temperament. You must feel something in debt to this person, and it is normal to want to make up for it. Just like the Yuan family and the Fan family. In fact, all the servants see It is clear that you are the most important to His Majesty."
In response to Li Hai's consolation, Huang Ruifeng waved his hand and said: "What resentment will I have? He is my elder brother just like the eldest brother. My father may seem cold on the surface, but in fact he values family ties the most. Otherwise, there is no way. As for such a long time, I have not been able to get out of the shadow of my grandmother's death. As my brother, I am not the kind of person who is greedy for power. I am just a little worried that I have slipped from the second line to the fourth line. If it happens again With a new brother appearing, I don’t even know where my ranking has fallen.”
Huang Ruifeng's extremely helpless words made Li Hai want to laugh but didn't dare, so he could only hold back his laughter. Indeed, this master's ranking among the princes has been declining. If it weren't for the one from the Fan family, who was a few months younger than this man, he would be in the right place now. Anyone would definitely feel uncomfortable. Fortunately, this man has a pretty good attitude. Although I complained a few words, I haven't done anything extreme yet. Seeing the strange expression on Li Hai's face, Huang Ruifeng pinched the bridge of his nose in extreme exhaustion.
Without saying anything else, he turned around to deal with government affairs. But that night, Huang Qiong didn't even let Yinghao's family of four go back. As for government affairs, everything was directly and neatly pushed to Huang Ruifeng. Looking at the mountains of reports and documents on the table in front of him, Huang Ruifeng couldn't help but have a headache. I could only read them one by one. Fortunately, with many years of experience in government affairs, Huang Ruifeng is very good at handling government affairs, and he is also very good at military affairs. Now with the victory of Liaoyang Mansion, it can be said that the overall situation has been basically decided.
The remaining forces in Northern Liao now control only Zhenhai Mansion in eastern Liaoning and the cities in the Huntong River Basin to the north. Except for Zhenhai Mansion in Liaodong, the population and products are relatively rich. The Hun Tong River Basin is sparsely populated, and most of them are the Shengnuzhen tribes who are inherently rebellious. Now Ouyang Shan's troops are stationed in two important towns, Huanglong Mansion and Changchun Prefecture, to repair and avoid the cold. Even if Yelu Zongzhen can still piece together some military horses, he needs to face the Bohai people of Dayanlin in Zhengzhou, Hengzhou, Luzhou and Fengzhou first.
Yelv Zongzhen's side only needs to be on the front line of Huanglong Mansion and take good defense. You can let him fight with Dayanlin first, and you can wait until spring comes next year and then mobilize your troops for the final attack. After Zhao Wuhu swept across the Huangshui River Basin, the Xi people and the Khitan people, at least for a short period of time, lost their ability to resist. The focus now is on the tribes in the desert steppe. There are also the female tribes in the north. Huang Ruifeng held up a candle and pointed his finger at the town where Si was located from the northwest of Bei Liao on the grassland.
Go all the way east, pass by the Uugu Enemy Lietong Army Division in the east, and go up to the Uugu Department in the north of Beijing. Went to Changchunzhou again. Then to the north of Changchun Prefecture, fishing, hunting, and grazing. The Shiwedalugu Tribe and the Jurchen Wanyan Tribe could pose a threat to Changchun Prefecture, Huanglong Mansion, and even the upper capital at any time. There are less than ten thousand Jurchens, and they are invincible. Huang Ruifeng chanted softly. Putting the candlestick in his hand on the table, he walked back and forth in the hall and thought about it. After a long while, he pushed open the window and felt the biting cold wind outside.
Feeling the biting cold wind and looking at the flying snow in the sky, Huang Ruifeng couldn't help but ponder. The scenery of the Northland is indeed magnificent. But this winter is really cold. The heavy snow in the sky also had a great impact on marching operations. I just remembered that when I first came to Liaoyang Mansion, I watched a thousand Liao army cavalry marching quickly in the heavy snow. Huang Ruifeng couldn't help but ponder. The ice and snow in the northern country and the flying snow really affected the operations of the Han people who came from the Central Plains.
But Bei Liao, as well as the tribes that still obey Bei Liao, have become accustomed to it. Thinking of this, Huang Ruifeng didn't even bother to close the window. He hurriedly turned around and picked up his pen and wrote letters to the generals, telling them to beware of the remaining Liao army who might sneak attack in the snow. Especially for Zhao, he was told to be careful of sneak attacks by tribes on the grassland in the snow. Heavy snow is something that those tribes and the Khitan people who are accustomed to life in the north have become accustomed to. So be careful to prevent them from taking advantage of you.
After thinking about it, Huang Ruifeng took up his pen again and wrote in a letter to the generals that he must pay attention to keeping warm the troops. The captured Liao troops, as well as the cattle and sheep of the Northern Liao tribes, should be distributed to the armies. At the same time, the soldiers below cannot be allowed to slack off too much. Even if there is no war in the short term, hunting among subordinates must be organized to ensure the combat effectiveness of the armies. Also, protect all kinds of medicine and don't let those gunpowder get damp. In the letter, Huang Ruifeng also wrote some information about how to keep out the cold and treat frostbite from Yinghao.
Although the Khitan people founded the country, they continued to hunt in the Nabo situation, not forgetting their ancestors' entrepreneurship, and maintaining the division of armies in various palaces following the actions of the Liao Emperor, as well as the combat power of the Pishi army. Huang Ruifeng believes that there is still Something that can be learned from. If the army does not fight for a long time, it will definitely become lax. It would be fine if it was in Daqi, but this is a place that has just been pacified. The remnants of Beiliao not only still exist in certain numbers, but also maintain a certain combat power. Once you relax, problems can easily arise.
Moreover, even if the troops currently on Shangjing and Tokyo Road are completely pacified and cleared, they cannot all withdraw. It is necessary to select the best among the armies to stay behind. Monitor the incorporated Bohai Navy, Han Army, and even the Khitan Army, and serve as the main garrison force. Winter safari may help the Han people living in the hinterland of the Central Plains to adapt to the cold climate here faster. As for whether these soldiers can adapt to the bitter cold in winter here, Huang Ruifeng does not think it is difficult. Businessmen can do it, why not the army?
After sending someone to deliver several letters overnight. Huang Ruifeng sent someone again to summon Yang Jiyuan, who was preparing to go south to fight. The two of them talked about the map for most of the night. Compared with Huang Qiong's explicit order to capture Goryeo, Huang Ruifeng's request to Yang Jiyuan was that the specific method of attack would depend on the situation. Although the Korean people are a bit nasty, they have some national resilience. The Northern Liao Dynasty conquered Goryeo twice, and the former Tang Dynasty repeatedly conquered Goryeo's predecessor, Silla, which all showed that this nation seemed weak, but in fact it was not easy to deal with.
After the Korean army in Baozhou is solved, whether to attack the hinterland of Korea depends on the specific situation. Even if you attack, you must do it steadily. It's best to make more use of Yang Jiyuan's achievements in training the navy over the years. Use sea-crossing landing operations more often so that you can attack from multiple directions. If he is confident, he can cross the sea and attack Goryeo directly. He had already given an order to Guo Chen, asking him to allocate 10,000 troops and horses and transfer them to his command. He will also select 20,000 infantry troops from the surrendered troops of the Bohai and Han armies to be allocated to him.
As for food and grass, he doesn't have to worry. He will currently store nearly one million shi of food in Liaoyang Mansion. Except for leaving 200,000 shi to supply the armies, the rest will be transferred to the front as soon as possible. At the same time, he will give instructions to Shandong Road tomorrow. After next spring, part of the subsequent supplies will also be transported by sea from Shandong Road. Hearing Huang Ruifeng's arrangement, Yang Jiyuan was obviously relieved. This is the real way to deal with it. It can be said that everything from military affairs to baggage has been arranged.
With the Yongjun Prince sitting in the rear, there will be absolutely no problem in terms of security for his next war, at least. Looking at the young prince in front of him with admiration, Yang Jiyuan nodded with satisfaction and said: "The second master is still thoughtful. The emperor only gave one imperial edict, and I have to coordinate the rest by myself. This of mine The second master knows the temper of a dog. There is no problem in fighting, but there is no problem in doing other things and offending people. But if it comes to coordinating such piecemeal things, it will be difficult. "
"If it hadn't been for the arrangements made by the Second Master today, I would be a little numb now and don't know what to do. This big army is setting off, people eat what horses chew, everything is a headache. Originally, I was assigned to do those things The civil servants who handled the matter have now become state officials. I can’t find anyone around me who can coordinate such trivial matters."
