The Northern Liao army was broken into pieces and launched an attack deep in the Linhe line.
Groups of Northern Liao cavalry rushed into the village. When they couldn't find anyone, they lit a fire and watched the village burning, and couldn't help but laugh wildly.
"Destroy them!"
If you can't find anyone, then destroy the village where you have lived for generations.
When the villagers came back again and saw their homes in ruins, how desperate they must be!
For ordinary people, a poor family is worth thousands of dollars. For them to build another home, the money and energy they expend will not allow them to recover for many years.
This is also another form of blow.
Loss of Northern Xinjiang's strength.
At this moment, Chen Zhoujun attacked.
Groups of Chenzhou Army cavalry galloped across the wilderness.
"Follow them."
Zhang Xu and another Qiu Long Guard set out with a group of cavalry.
They encountered hundreds of enemy troops.
And I only have about a hundred people.
Just when the enemy was in ecstasy, Zhang Xu and another Horned Dragon Guard broke in first.
Two iron rods swept across, no one could resist.
After just two trips back and forth, the enemy army collapsed.
The role of a strong general is infinitely magnified at this time.
Each detachment of Chenzhou Army cavalry was followed by two or three Qiulong Guards.
Their role is to open up the situation.
Like a Demoman.
Deep in the Linhe River, there are battlefields everywhere.
"Yang Gou used his good hands!"
The general who returned in embarrassment explained to Lin Ya.
Lin Ya said calmly: "What I want is not an explanation, but military exploits! Kill him and tell the whole army!"
The howling stopped suddenly outside, and Lin Ya said: "If he can send out all the best soldiers around him at this time, he will not be afraid of being assassinated..."
"Mr. Sir, there is a messenger."
Helianfeng's messenger came, very serious, "Xiang Lin, your Majesty said that a war is imminent!"
The war is coming, I want good news!
Lin Ya took a deep breath and said, "I understand, I understand."
As soon as the messenger left, the civil and military officials under his command were indignant.
"He is forcing me!"
"Yes! This is forcing us to attack Linhe City."
"The siege was brutal. Not to mention whether the attack could be successful, who would make up for the losses?"
"That's enough!" Lin Ya stopped his subordinates' complaints and said in a deep voice: "The army is recovering, but our army is taking the lead in fighting the enemy. This is not digging a hole, nor is it deliberately sacrificing our men. Rather, he is killing us.
Think of it as a partial teacher."
His subordinates were silent.
Lin Ya said: "They are the ones facing the main force of the Northern Xinjiang Army."
He slowly looked at his subordinates, "I also wish that he died suddenly tonight, but before that, I would like to see the Daliao cavalry defeat the Northern Xinjiang Army, and then march on Chang'an. If I can do it, I will stay away for now
What's wrong with him for a while?"
The White Horse Alliance had a good effect, and He Lianfeng also felt Lin Ya's attitude.
"The soldiers are recovering."
He Lianfeng led the civil and military officials on a tour of the camp, and was in a good mood when he saw his subordinates starting to resume drills.
Xiao Hua said: "Yes. The drill just started yesterday, and the morale of the soldiers is good."
"Give more meat." The emperor looked at the training army with his hands behind his hands and said, "At this time, meat is morale."
Xiao Hua praised: "I didn't expect His Majesty to even know this."
"When I was young, I once joined the army under a pseudonym..." The emperor's eyes were full of memories, "Although I only stayed for five days, those five days... As soon as I entered the army, there were people who bullied me.
The guard wanted to take action, but I didn't allow it. Then, I had a fight with the man and beat him so hard..."
Xiao Hua didn't expect that the emperor would have such an experience, and couldn't help but be shocked.
"That man should die!"
Someone sent me a rainbow fart.
The emperor smiled and pointed at Chen Fangli, "That person is him."
Chen Fangli scratched his head. He was so old that he made such an action, which looked ridiculous.
Xiao Hua couldn't help laughing, "Is he actually the king?"
Chen Fangli said awkwardly: "At that time, I was quite proud of myself in the army. When Your Majesty entered the army, I didn't like it, so I came out... Who would have thought that His Majesty would beat me up for the sake of cultivation.
The old man refused to accept it, so he went there quietly at night. Unexpectedly, His Majesty set a trap outside the tent, and the old man was beaten severely again.
On the second day of training, I planned a provocation and was beaten severely again.
During lunch, I went to see Your Majesty with a bowl in hand. Do you want to know what His Majesty said?"
Everyone shook their heads.
Chen Fangli said: "Are you here to provoke, or are you here to be beaten?"
Everyone couldn't help but laugh.
The emperor's eyes became gentler, "It was the five days in the army that made me aware of many shortcomings. After taking the throne, I also wanted to solve them one by one, but in the end... there were too many constraints. However, there was some progress."
The composition of the Northern Liao army was relatively complicated. With the blending of various forces, there were many mountains in the army. For example, in this battle, some were Lin Ya and others, some were other forces, and some were the emperor...
"His Majesty!"
Lin Ya's messenger has arrived.
"Our army and Chenzhou's army were fighting in the Linhe area. Chenzhou's army used all their skills, and both sides were equally matched."
The emperor nodded, "Not bad."
Xiao Hua said: "Huang Chunhui ordered Chenzhou Army to guard the Linhe area for the purpose of testing."
"Huang Chunhui is optimistic about Yang Xuan as the successor of Northern Xinjiang. The successor needs to be hammered and sharpened, otherwise it will be difficult to become useful." The emperor looked at the south with his hands behind his back. "The best way to sharpen your skills is to take charge of one side. Lin Ya leads an army of 40,000, and two
We are twice as strong as the enemy, and the siege of the city is insufficient. We can use harassment to lure Chenzhou's army to attack, which is a good method."
He walked slowly, "This battle has allowed me to see something. Everywhere in northern Xinjiang has been fortified and cleared. There are occasionally people who are reluctant to leave their hometown. Others would not pay attention to these people. But Yang Xuan ordered Chen Zhoujun to
Attack.
Is this pity or just posturing?
When thinking about your opponent, you have to figure it out and analyze it from these points. Once you analyze it clearly, you will not be able to hide what your opponent is doing."
"Your Majesty is wise."
The praise from everyone was very sincere.
The emperor walked to the edge of the camp and looked into the distance.
"That's the scout!"
He pointed at the black spots and said.
Since the army arrived in northern Xinjiang, the scouting war has never stopped.
"Are you ready?"
The emperor turned around and asked.
Everyone stood in awe.
"I am willing to serve your Majesty!"
The emperor said calmly: "Go and tell Huang Chunhui, I am waiting for him!"
…
The messenger entered Taoxian County.
Huang Chunhui met him in person.
"The Tang Dynasty has repeatedly harassed the Liao Dynasty in the past few years. Last time, it even attacked Jinshan City in a sneak attack. His Majesty was furious! Can you give me an explanation?"
The messenger had a cold face.
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
The envoy said: "In recent years, the Tang Dynasty has been quite disrespectful to the Liao Dynasty. Can you explain it?"
Huang Chunhui shook his head.
Then he said: "I always thought that the Emperor of Liao would use drums to inform me that the battle had begun. Unexpectedly, he sent an envoy.
The Emperor of Liao was elegant, but he did it superfluously... He has raised his sword and spear, how can he put it down? There is no way to make people laugh!"
The envoy said with a straight face, "So Datang is not prepared to apologize?"
Huang Chunhui shook his head, "I have already said that we are all enemies, so why do you need to do these tricks of courtesy first and then fighting. Tell the Emperor of Liao that Northern Xinjiang can only speak with swords and guns."
The messenger said goodbye.
Report back all the way.
"Wait a minute, is he talking about Northern Xinjiang or the Tang Dynasty?" the emperor asked.
The messenger recalled, "He was talking about Northern Xinjiang."
The emperor smiled, "Huang Chunhui is so old-fashioned. These words are hinting to me that he will use a corner of northern Xinjiang to compete with Liao. So, what are I waiting for?"
In Taoxian County, Huang Chunhui was humming a tune and pacing in the lobby.
"Ms. sir."
Liao Jin came in and put the horse in his hand beside him, "The enemy has many scouts."
"Before the war, you must be a discerning person, not a blind person!" Huang Chunhui was still pacing, looking relaxed, "Old Liao."
"Mr. Sir." Liao Jin sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it.
Huang Chunhui's back was a little stooped, but he was in a good mood, "Do you feel tired?"
Liao Jin shook his head, and Huang Chunhui said: "Back then, you were running back and forth and were very energetic. Now you are less energetic."
Liao Jin stroked his beard and smiled: "After all, age is not forgiving!"
"We are all old. However, the wine gets better with age." Huang Chunhui said: "This battle will determine the war and peace in the north in the next few years.
Naturally, there is nothing to say about the victory of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Then, whether it was a horse riding on Chang'an or the destruction of the Tang Dynasty, I think by that time I had become a tool for the Northern Liao Dynasty to show off its military exploits.
If Northern Xinjiang wins, there will not be another war within a few years...
If it doesn't work well, there won't be any so-called personal conquests by the emperor within ten years.
Lao Liao, even now, I don’t want to hide anything. Do you think His Majesty still has ten years left?"
Liao Jin was stunned, "Ms. sir, in this battle you actually..."
Huang Chunhui said: "I also had many good friends back then, and they were scattered all over the world.
Over the years, I have exchanged letters with them and learned a lot about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.
Both you and I in the court know that Yang Songcheng, Left Prime Minister Chen Shen, and others, Your Majesty, are in a state of separatism.
If there was peace and prosperity, all of this could be covered up. But there are powerful enemies in the north, and the place is in dire straits..."
"I also know." Liao Jin said: "The population is increasing day by day, which seems to be a good thing, but the appetite of local powerful people is also growing, and there are more and more powerful people...
If these powerful men want to drink blood, they can only show their fangs at the people.
The annexation of land has become out of control in recent years, local governments have imposed excessive taxes, and people's lives have become increasingly difficult. Those farmers who cannot afford to pay taxes, those farmers who have lost their land..."
"Why don't you say it anymore?" Huang Chunhui turned around and Liao Jin smiled bitterly, "If you say it again, it would be a taboo."
"What taboo are you committing?" Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "People who can't pay taxes, farmers who have lost their land, these are poor people, but local officials don't care about these...
It's funny to say that no one cares about the wealthy family's land for tax evasion, but the annual tax amount can only increase, not decrease.
The Ministry of Housing and Urban-Rural Development requires this, and so do the local governments. What should we do?
For example, Tao County originally had 10,000 acres of land, and the annual tax was 10,000 yuan.
Ten years later, due to land annexation, only 5,000 acres of taxable land remained. Logically, the tax should be 5,000 yuan!
But the Ministry of Accounts didn't care and said it would cost 12,000 yuan at least.
In order to gain official status and gain political achievements, local officials reached out to the owners of the 5,000 acres of land.
If you pay, you are a good citizen. If you don't pay, you are a ruthless citizen and will be taken down directly.
In this way, the powerful became richer and richer, while the common people became poorer and poorer. So they fled...
The population of Northern Xinjiang has increased a lot in recent years, many of whom came from refugees from various parts of the Tang Dynasty.
The local official reported that my instructions were to give them the land and let them live!
As long as I am alive, they regard me as a living Buddha of thousands of families and thank me day and night.
Just live! Lao Liao!
The people of the Tang Dynasty are no longer as good as a dog!
But look at Chang'an, it's extremely luxurious. Your Majesty rewards you constantly every day, so generous! It seems that the wealth in the world is inexhaustible.
The sister of the imperial concubine was originally a widow, but with today's reward and tomorrow's reward, she turned out to be one of the richest men in Chang'an.
As long as he uses these thoughts and wealth in the world to suppress the wealthy families and fight for a way for the people to survive, what will happen to the world?
What’s ridiculous is that Chang’an is now praising the prosperous Tang Dynasty everywhere... Against this background, I must start this battle.”
Liao Jin felt awe-struck, "My husband wants to..."
Huang Chunhui slapped his back with his backhand, "Chang'an is singing about the prosperous times, extravagant and lustful, the kings and ministers in the temple are proud and self-righteous.
The people were displaced and impoverished...
Lao Liao, the Tang Dynasty is full of crises.
Chang'an seemed to be sitting on a fire, but they seemed unaware.
We can still fight at this moment. If we don't fight at this moment, will Northern Liao sit back and watch when war breaks out everywhere in the country?
At that time, the people could no longer bear it and raised their flags of rebellion one after another.
You and I both know how the government soldiers are doing, and they will be defeated in one strike.
Once the inner core is beaten to pieces, a corner of northern Xinjiang will be attacked from both sides.
At that time, the fate of the country will never be repeated again.
This is the scene of national subjugation!"
"This is how it was in the last years of the Chen Kingdom!" Liao Jin stood up, "My husband wants to use ten years to fight for a glimmer of hope for the Tang Dynasty!"
Huang Chunhui walked to the pillar, reached out and patted it, his eyes were desolate, "Chang'an said that I was rebellious and had a disobedient heart. All the princes in the temple were busy fighting for power and profit in the name of the country and the people.
The world is in danger, but we turn a blind eye. There is not much I can do, but use this broken body to fight for the Tang Dynasty for ten years..."
Liao Jin was shocked in his heart, "If the monarchs and ministers in the court heard what my husband said, they would be ashamed!"
"No, they won't be ashamed, they will just think that I am being alarmist."
Huang Chunhui smiled sarcastically, and then said with some regret: "Chang'an has become a quagmire now. According to my idea, if a rebel army rises in the country and fights all the way to Chang'an City, the monarch and his ministers will flee for their lives...
Forget it, what do you want me to do with this? If this is the case, the country will be destroyed.
Those who deserved to die would not die, but the corpses of the people who did not deserve to die filled the ravines.
Meat eaters are like flies and dogs, but it is the common people who bear the consequences.
Damn it! Now I want to be a tomb robber for the first time.
Why do those greedy carnivores continue to live in extravagant and lustful ways after death?"
Liao Jin said: "Xiangong, this is a deep love and deep responsibility. Looking at the world, how many people like Xianggong are caring about the world and worrying about the world? Chang'an cannot ignore Xianggong's loyalty to the Tang Dynasty."
Huang Chunhui shook his head, and Liao Jin was stunned.
He slowly walked to the door, held it, and said softly: "What does the life and death of those people in Chang'an have to do with me? I just don't want to leave Northern Xinjiang. Those people don't want to leave this land...
"
Liao Jin asked: "Then striving for ten years of peace will hopefully allow Northern Xinjiang to recuperate and recuperate."
"No, Old Liao, this is not the main reason why I strive for these ten years of peace."
