Han Shizu

Chapter 1316 Military Conference
"With these officials enriched, it can be regarded as barely solving the urgent need of Anzhi Liaodong!" Standing in front of the map of Liaodong, Liu Yang pondered for a moment, and said calmly: "The current arrangements are all dealt with under the Liao system!"

"The Khitan court set up the prefectures and counties in Liaodong, which is somewhat unreasonable. The prefectures are too dense, and one city and one county is one prefecture!" Liu Yang pointed to the scattered Liaozhi prefectures and counties on the map: "Right now, Liaodong is restored. Thirteen big and small cities, that is, thirteen prefectures, small cities and few people, this is completely unsuitable for the local official system of the Han Dynasty!"

"What Your Highness said is true! The accompanying staff members have discussed this matter and agreed that the recovery of land, towns, and population must be adjusted in accordance with the Han system, and the states and counties in Liaodong must be abolished and merged to reduce Officials, so as not to be redundant!" Murong Defeng said.

"Hmm!" Regarding this, Liu Yang showed a bit of satisfaction, and instructed: "Then let them discuss a resolution on this, and I will report it to the court at that time!"

"In addition, the names of the states and counties should be renamed accordingly!" Liu Yang said again.

The names of these prefectures established by the Liao Kingdom are really eye-catching, and those named Su, Fu, Ning, Chen, Yao, and Yin have the same names as the prefectures already under the jurisdiction of the Han Dynasty, and they must be changed.

In fact, as long as you have a little understanding, you can find that the Liao Kingdom seems to have "moved" some state names from the south to the north of the Han Dynasty to Liaodong, as if it meant to bring the essence of China to Liao. This kind of political ambition , it can be seen.

However, with the return of the Han King Army, Liaodong will also restore its original appearance, change and reform, starting from the name
"The location of Liaoyang is a little bit south, should we change the Liaodong government? I think Shenzhou seems to be more suitable!" Liu Yang suddenly mentioned this matter again, with a little hesitation in his tone.

It is also because the camp of the East Road Army is now set up in Shenzhou, so that they can lead all the troops nearby to target the remnants of the Liao Army in the northeast.And Liu Yang stayed in Liaoyang, the governor of the military and government. This is also due to geography, even though Shenzhou is only a hundred miles north of Liaoyang.

"In terms of location, Shenzhou is indeed more central, but after all, Liaoyang has a deeper foundation, and the city management must be more perfect!" Murong Defeng said.

"Let's talk about this discussion in the future! Just remember, after the war is over, after the class teacher, you can bring it to the court for discussion!" Liu Yang thought for a while, and felt that it was a bit far away to consider this matter, so he directly ordered.

"August is about to pass, and I don't know when this protracted war will calm down." Liu Yang said with emotion.

Soon, he adjusted his mentality, ordered someone to take his robe and put it on, and walked out, saying: "Prepare the car, go out and have a look!"

"Where does Your Highness want to inspect?" Ma Huaiyu asked for instructions.

"Go to the refugee camp outside the city first to see if there is any rectification and whether it is still so chaotic and disorderly! Then..."

Before Liu Yang finished speaking, Ma Huaiyu dissuaded him: "Since Your Highness knows that the refugee camp is in chaos, you should not go there in person. If you want to understand, I will have my own staff to inspect it on my behalf!"

"Have you also learned to dissuade?" Seeing Ma Huaiyu's serious look, Liu Yang smiled.

Ma Huaiyu also changed from being simple, with a saber on his shoulder, he replied seriously: "This is the duty of a minister!"

"Your Highness, there are mixed dragons and snakes in the refugee camp, and Hu Han mixed together. Although there are many old and weak, there are also strong people. If there are Khitan bandits and bandits mixed in, it is really inappropriate for Your Highness to go there in person. What Huai Yu said is true, please Your Highness, think twice, don't go to dangerous places lightly!"

Liu Yang's ears are relatively soft, and he is not as stubborn as Emperor Liu. Seeing the two singing together, he felt a little helpless. After thinking about it, he waved his hand and said, "Forget it, I'll follow you. Go to the warehouse first to see Look at the food and weapons, then go to the barracks, and visit the soldiers who have not recovered from their injuries."

"Yes!"

After adjustments, there are as many as 90,000 people stationed in Liaoyang, the Han army, mainly led by Gao Huaide, is also the main force to break through Liaoyang.Of course, there are also more than 20,000 civil servants from the Shandong Peninsula.

On the first day of September, the first day of late autumn, the entire city of Liaoyang became tense, although the martial law had not been relaxed since the fall.However, on this day, the atmosphere in the city was obviously a bit more serious. The guards of the Guanlou and the government office, and the officers and soldiers patrolling the streets, had obviously raised their spirits to a higher level.

In the hall of the Generalissimo's Mansion, everyone gathered together. Except for Ma Renyu, who was in charge of military defense in the northeast, generals of all levels from Prince Liu Yang and below, including Zhao Kuangyin and Gao Huaide, all rushed to Liaoyang. This was carried out after the capture of Liaoyang. The first meeting of generals.

Among those present, besides the senior generals of the Eastern Route Army, Cao Bin was also present to accompany him. His ranking is only below Liu Yang. Although Zhao and Gao should be above him in terms of status, Cao Bin is the son of heaven after all. Come to reward the envoys of the army.

The greetings have already been said, and in the formal meeting, we will go straight to the topic.On Liu Yang's side, he needs to communicate the imperial court's security policy for Liaodong, where communication needs the continued cooperation of the army. Right now, Liaodong's military and government are integrated, and the military is in front of the government.

As for Zhao Kuangyin, he also needs to make a report on the deployment of defense in each state, the state of public security, the adjustment of military organization, the remnants of the Liao army, and the situation in the Northeast.

".In the past month, Yelu Xiezhen gathered the remnants and defeated them in Tongzhou, intending to stick to Tongyuan City. The actual strength of the army has not yet been determined, but according to the observation and report of the spies, the enemy has no less than 50,000 people!" Zhao Kuangyin Said.

"Didn't the battle of Liaohe cause heavy damage to the Liao army in eastern Liaodong and make them lose their vitality? How come there are so many soldiers and horses in this short month?" Liu Yang frowned slightly, a little puzzled.

"Your Highness, don't worry!" Zhao Kuangyin calmly explained: "Although the military strength has gathered, it is not so easy to make up for the lost vitality.

According to investigations, part of the Liao army in Tongyuan came from the defeated army and fugitive Hu people who retreated north, part came from reinforcements from Shangjing Road in the west, and part of them came from Martin Zhuang, who was defeated from Huanglong Mansion in the northeast.Although there are many people, less than half of the army is capable of fighting, and there is a shortage of weapons, food, and horses. At the same time, morale is low. Facing our army, the combat power is bound to be difficult! "

Hearing Zhao Kuangyin's words, Liu Yang immediately felt a sense of peace of mind. With a reserved smile on his lips, he nodded and said, "So, the situation in the northeast is still in our expectation?"

"Perhaps, it's more optimistic than what I expected!" Zhao Kuangyin also smiled, his beard trembling, and said: "Since Shiwei and Wanyan Jurchen revolted, the Liao army has lost all parts of the city. The Ministry has also lost control, and it is full of chaos.

The rear was in chaos, and Yelu Xiezhen's intention to defend Tongzhou was completely in vain.The Northeast states, not only are not the reliance of its defense against the great Han, but have become its troubles.The Wu De Division and the Military Intelligence Division have made great contributions to instigating the tribes in the Northeast. They not only disrupted the defense of the Liao Army, but also laid the foundation for our army to march into the Northeast in the future to fight against dissidents.

While our army was resting, Yelu Xiezhen gathered troops and dispatched several troops to counter the rebellion, with the intention of quelling the turmoil and stabilizing the rear.

However, judging from the current situation, the result is not good.One is that the Liao army is not strong enough, and there is also the threat of our army in the southwest of Xiantong area; the other is that the rebels are numerous and scattered, making it difficult to suppress them.

The Jurchens headed by the Wanyan tribe have already formed a coalition army and marched into the Huanglong Mansion; the Tulu Bushi Wei tribe moved their troops eastward, conquering the old land of Bohai Sea, and now they are at war with the Tieli people; All of them are fighting against each other, or Yingcheng is defending itself, and has even begun to attack and annex each other."

"Northeast states, since the chaos is like this, Mr. Rong can follow up and deal with it!" Liu Yang's brows were completely relaxed, he pondered a little, and asked.

"I'm here in Liaoyang, and I'm about to report to His Highness that I have ordered Ma Renyu to prepare troops and horses, and the military supplies are also in the process of being dispatched. As long as the order is given, I will march to Xianping!" Zhao Kuangyin asked for instructions, clasping his hands.

"Mr. Rong thinks it's time to mobilize troops?" Liu Yang asked.

Zhao Kuangyin: "Since the truce, the officers and men of all armies have received sufficient rest and reorganization, especially Ma Renyu's troops, which have enriched their elite combat forces. Although the area has been occupied, although it has not been completely cleared, it is difficult to restrain our army from advancing. The army in the stability maintenance area has also made arrangements.

More importantly, we need to continue to put pressure on Yelu Xiezhen, continue to attack, and force him into a desperate situation."
