…

Wu Xie and Gao Qingyi returned to Fengshengzhou that day.

The next day, Yang Yizhong and Wang Yan respectively dispatched troops on the front line.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin knew that Li Yan was telling them to get out quickly.

Wanyan Zonghan wanted to fight with Li Yan and fight with Yang Yizhong and then evacuate Yundi, but his confidence was too insufficient. Although during this period, the Xi sent 10,000 reinforcements to Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin, even so, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin's troops were only 20,000, which was not as much as Yang Yizhong and Wang Yan's horse army. What's more, the two sides had confronted each other for half a year. Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin had already confirmed that Yang Yizhong and Wang Yan's subordinates were elites, who dared to fight and were happy when they heard the battle. Although Yang Yizhong and Wang Yan were not famous, they were all steady generals without a slight loophole for them to exploit.

In the end, Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin could only leave Yundi with their respective troops.

Yang Yizhong, Liu Min, Fang Xuedu, Li Xu, and Fang Qifo led the army under his jurisdiction to "escort" Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin across Yehu Ridge before stopping "escort".

After this

Liu Min was responsible for attacking Wuzhou, then completely recovering Wuzhou, and relocating defenses.

Fang Xuedu is responsible for attacking New South Wales, then completely recovering New South Wales, and relocating defenses.

Li Xu was responsible for attacking Guizhou, then completely recovering Guizhou, re-arranged defenses, and waiting for an opportunity to seize Juyong Pass.

Fang Qifo was responsible for attacking Ruzhou, then completely recovering Ruzhou, re-arranged defenses, and waiting for an opportunity to recover the entire Ruzhou.

Wang Yan is responsible for recapturing the entire territory of Weizhou and re-arranged defenses, and also waiting for an opportunity to recover Feihukou, it is best to recover Zijing Pass.

Xu Guanzhong temporarily replaced Yunyou's commander, and controlled Wang Yanjun, Liu Minjun, Fang Xuedujun, Li Fengjun, and Fang Qifu Army.

Lehe temporarily served as the Yunyou pacifier, and was in charge of all political affairs in Yunyou, and was controlled by Zhao Ding.

Yang Yizhong brought his troops, the First Battalion, Tiefutu, Guaizi Left Army, and Guaizi Right Army back to Yunzhong Prefecture.

At the same time, Li Yan issued a war preparation order against Emperor Tianzuo, preparing to decide the outcome in a battle with Emperor Tianzuo.

Although this battle is not fought, after all, there are natural dangers in Yunzuo area where birds are sad, solid long walls and extremely perfect fortifications. As long as the power is delegated to Wu Jie, Emperor Tianzuo, Xixia and Mongolian tribes will never be able to cross the line.

But Li Yan thought about it carefully and decided to fight this battle.

First of all, the best defense is offense. If you don’t follow Emperor Tianzuo, Xixia and Mongolian tribes to brighten your strong muscles, they should think they are easy to bully, at least they should think they are easier to bully than Jin, and then they may come to harass themselves from time to time. This is not Li Yan’s worries. You must know that everyone is now neighbors, so there will inevitably be some friction. Moreover, nomadic peoples have always liked to rob farming people. If they don’t beat them, they will be afraid of them. If they are beaten, they will be in danger.

Secondly, strong army was never trained, but fought. The Northern Song Dynasty spent 30 to 40 million yuan to support the army every year, and the military expenditure was more than ten times that of the Liao Kingdom, dozens of times that of the Western Xia, and hundreds of times that of the Jurchens. As a result, except for the Western Army that had been fighting with the Western Xia, almost all of them were full of money. Li Yan did not want his army to become like this. Li Yan would rather destroy all his army and then work hard to rebuild it, and never let them live in a pampered state and finally become vulnerable.

Again, regaining Yan land was too important for Li Yan, so Li Yan had to do his best to ensure that no matter what happens, the Yan land was his own. If Li Yan wanted to do his best, he had to conquer Emperor Tianzuo, Xixia and Mongolian tribes, at least temporarily.

Finally, there was a very small and even negligible reason. Li Yande cut off the daughters of the Liao royal family such as Xiao Guige, so that they knew that Emperor Tianzuo and others were a group of useless wastes and were not worthy of their hopes, and then let them live with themselves wholeheartedly.

...

A few days later, Li Yan general Yang Yizhong and the Women's Detachment left to protect Yunzhong Prefecture, and then personally brought the First Battalion, Tiefutu, Jiefan Ma Army, Guaizi Left Army, Guaizi Right Army, Khitan Army, Bohai Army, Xi Army, Yue Fei Army, Han Shizhong Army and the Bai Army to report to Shuozhou with the confidential special forces, Shenji Army, Amphibious Army and other special forces, the Political Department, Intelligence Department, Medical Army, Communications Army and other special departments to Shuozhou.

When passing by Huanzhou, Li Yan specially brought Liu Qi with him and asked Liu Qi's general Guo Hao to temporarily guard Huanzhou on behalf of Liu Qi.

Speaking of which, I don’t know whether it was Liu Qi’s luck or Liu Qi’s misfortune.

Huanzhou was surrounded by Shuozhou, Yingzhou, and Yunzhong Prefecture. Such a terrain determined that Huanzhou was not a troublesome place at all. Not only did Liu Qi not fight a single battle when he recovered Huanzhou City, but later when he recovered the entire territory of Huanzhou, Liu Qi not fight a single battle.

With all the plans, Liu Qi fought a battle in Shijie Valley, but that battle was still fought by Wu Jie and had little to do with him.

Yue Fei, Wu Jie, Han Shizhong, and Zhang Xian, who first entered Yundi, had never fought one or two big battles, countless small battles. Even the generals who entered Yundi after Liu Qi even had more battles than Liu Qi, who had just formed an army.

This made Liu Qi feel very uncomfortable. If the general doesn’t fight, do you have the nerve to be a general? Maybe someone is embarrassed, but Liu Qi is definitely not such a person.

Liu Qi knew that it was not a fault for Li Yan. Li Yan was not less cultivating him than anyone else. He had to lead his troops into Yundi early, because he was unlucky and surrendered wherever he went, so that he called him "Liu Sixiang, who defeated others without fighting."

This title made Liu Qi feel very, very harsh. Although most people joked that they didn't mean to laugh at him, Liu Qi still didn't want others to call him that, especially when he had never won a big victory.

Liu Qi kept his anger in his arms. He wanted to find an opportunity to win a big victory to prove himself and get rid of the title of "Liu Sixiang, who defeated others without fighting."

What Liu Qi never expected was that this opportunity would come so quickly, and it was a great opportunity that he never dared to think about before!
