"Jingguan" is also called "Wu Jun", which means piles the bodies of the enemy's troops on both sides of the road, rammed the earth to form a pyramid-shaped pile of earth to show the military power and shock future generations. This custom has existed since ancient times, and can be traced back to the period of King Zhuang of Chu. There is a record in "Zuo Zhuan": Bingchen, Chu Chong reached Bi, so he was second to Hengyong. Pan Dang said, "The king built the Wu Jun, and collected the corpses of Jin to be Jingguan. I heard that I would show my descendants to defeat the enemy, so that I would not forget my martial arts."

There were also many records in the historical books of various dynasties and dynasties, and of course they were not all works from the Central Plains. The Sui Dynasty conquered Goryeo three times. After the failure, King Goryeo built the corpses of these soldiers of the Great Sui Dynasty into Jingguan. It was not until the Zhenguan period that the Tang Dynasty defeated the Turkic Jie Li Khan, Li Shimin washed away this shame. King Goryeo sent envoys to congratulate him and presented him with a seal of the territory. In the fifth year of syringeo, Li Shimin ordered the Sima Changsun Shilin of Guangzhou to bury Sui soldiers fighting against the horses and destroy the Jingguan in Goryeo.

However, the construction of Jingguan seemed to be a bit too far in the Song Dynasty, where literature was better than martial arts. For scholars who like to tell benevolence, righteousness, and morality, this behavior was a bit cruel and damaged the benevolence of the Song Dynasty. Therefore, after Li You finished speaking, a rare voice of opposition appeared. A civil official stepped forward and replied, "Guo Shenxian, this move may hurt the harmony of heaven, and we need to consider it carefully."

"The rotting corpse can easily cause epidemics. If it is built Jingguan, it seems that it is not worth the loss." The former person used benevolence and righteousness to persuade him, while the latter person used safety as an excuse and tried to stop Li You's plan.

"Now that Bianliang City is under heavy attack, the restoration of the city walls requires a lot of manpower. Rewarding the soldiers requires money. The Jingguan project is huge, and the court may not have the manpower or financial resources to complete this feat." Someone also used financial resources, manpower and material resources to dissuade them, but this is the truth. Such a large project is not easy to build.

Now even Zhao Huan, Zhang Shuye and others were a little hesitant. After all, the Song Dynasty was much more civilized than those barbarians. They were a little unacceptable to such rough behavior for the time being, so they ignored it and turned their attention to Li You to see if he had any open reasons to convince everyone.

"Although the Song Dynasty was rich and far away from the Han and Tang Dynasties, it was plagued by the four barbarians. In the north, there were Khitans, then Jurchens, in the west, in the south, in the southwest barbarians and Jiaozhi, but in the east, there were sea barriers to ensure temporary safety. This is because the Song Dynasty was overwhelmed by the warriors of the Five Dynasties, which led to the lack of martial style and was despised by the four barbarians." Li You talked happily, "Although the Song Dynasty has the help of heavenly soldiers, he can repel the Jin soldiers and protect the safety of the capital."

"But the four barbarians have despised the Song Dynasty for a long time. Even if one or two major battles win, they will not be able to change their inherent ideas in a short period of time. If we led our army to attack the northern expedition again, what should we do?" Li You asked back, everyone was speechless. At this time, although with the help of the heavenly soldiers, the Song Dynasty still seemed extremely fragile. They did not have the power to check and balance these hostile forces.

"So we have to find a way to shock these people so that they dare not act lightly, and to win more time for the Song Dynasty to rebuild the imperial guards." Li You said the real purpose of his suggestion to build Jingguan. "If it comes to shocking the four barbarians, there is no better than Jingguan. I believe that those envoys from various countries who came to Bianliang will be deeply shocked by this Jingguan made of tens of thousands of corpses. They are still scared and dare not act lightly." In modern times, you can use nuclear weapons to scare people. At this time, Jingguan will take on this task.

"As for manpower, there is no need to worry about it. In this battle, thousands of prisoners of the ever-winning army and Liao soldiers were captured. Killing prisoners has been ominous since ancient times, but it has been cheaper for them to raise these people for free, so they just want them to build Jingguan!" Li You also made arrangements for the issue of manpower. "I believe that the spirit of these people will be polished in the process of building Jingguan. In the future, they can continue to use them to build cities, build roads, and mines, so that the people of the Song Dynasty will suffer less."

Killing them cleanly is too cheap, and it is also a waste of human resources. There are places where the Song Dynasty sells coolies to use these people, so let them start from Jingguan. I believe that after completing this work that makes people scared, the little resistance in their hearts will be wiped out, and from then on, they will become slaves controlled by the Song Dynasty.

"As for the problem of epidemics, in order to avoid epidemics, we had to dig holes and bury them deep or set up fires, which was not much easier than Jingguan." It would be almost enough to use more lime and other items at that time.

When Li You said this, everyone was speechless and worthy of a little unwilling to agree. However, as soon as the news came out, the people of Song around him who had been harassed by the Jin soldiers, they strongly agreed. They had been ruined by the Jin soldiers these days and had long wanted to take revenge. Li You's plan was in line with their wishes, and someone even came to ask for help.

So in the next few days, outside the city of Bianliang became extremely busy. An imperial guard escorted Jin soldiers and prisoners of war to build Jingguan next to the avenue, and various royal soldiers camped everywhere to accept the selection of Li You and Zhang Shuye. There were endless food, grass, wine and meat to be sent to the army. Some Taoist monks gave ways to commemorate the soldiers and people who died in this battle.

In addition to selecting soldiers to expand the strength of the army under his command, Li You was also closely following the information sent by all parties to determine the escape route of Wanyan Zongwang and others so that he could continue to pursue them.

Judging from the information received, perhaps because he wanted to return to the Jin Kingdom earlier, Wanyan Zongwang and others chose the route to return along the route of the East Road in the army, and retreated from Kaide Prefecture and Daming County to Zhending, and now he is crossing the Yellow River.

"If the Jin soldiers were allowed to cross the Yellow River easily, it would probably be not so easy to pursue them. Now they don't have to worry about increasing their troops, so they will still take these people and the elites of the Western Army to march north immediately." Li You, who was afraid of delaying the opportunity to fight, made a decision. The Qi family army, the imperial troupe, and the 50,000 troops formed by the Song Dynasty imperial guards and the 10,000 troops drawn from the Western Army to serve the king, brought enough food and supplies to embark on the road to the north.

"Last time, Yaoshi Guo and Liu Yanzong ran away, and this time they will not be allowed to escape." Pan Feng seemed a little unwilling.
