252nd Sweep North 16

The 80,000 Liao border troops stationed in the big and small barriers were looted in a slight order.

Almost at the same time, other state capitals in Yanshan Province were also robbed.

For example, the military town of Youzhou - Danzhou.

There is a waterway in Danzhou, the port is the deepest, called Lushui, and the group surrounds the city. Lushui leads directly to the Wei River, which actually runs through the canal developed in the Sui and Tang dynasties that can lead all the way to Chang'an, the ancient capital of Shaanxi. This section of the canal was not as important and valued as it was in the Sui and Tang dynasties, but it still existed and was in use, and it was an important channel for the Song court to transport money and grain to the Western Army.

Staying in Danzhou was Liaoguo Shilang Dongxian Wenrong, with fierce generals under his command: Chu Mingyu, Cao Mingji, Biter Weikang, Aliqi...... But only one Cao Mingji was there, and the other generals also led the troops to the north to fight guerrilla warfare in the Jin country, and reaped fruitful results. However, under the persuasion of the pirates' super-era weapons to break through the city and threaten to surrender, it was sacked like Jizhou.

At the same time, the tribes and officials and nobles of the villages and towns in the countryside or small towns were also robbed or looted by pirates.

The Khitan nobles and tribal leaders who escaped from Liaodong, who were man-made in the Bohai Sea and engaged in massacres, were naturally among them.

These pig-heads who only know pleasure are afraid of war and death and refuse to work for the country or are incompetent but arrogant and arrogant, and can escape from the danger of the Liaodong military disaster but are also extremely greedy but very shrewd lords, this time they saw the opportunity to make a windfall with a million troops, but they were the most active, and they put together as much as possible the remaining elite tribal military strength of their subordinates, and set up an independent guerrilla force led by subordinate cadres to go to the north to rob and rob fiercely for their greed, but the guards around them were empty, not to mention the wealth from robbery, Even the rich old books accumulated by generations of looting and the lives of the whole family were gone, and they were all easily taken away by the passing pirate army.

They feel that they have died unjustly, and they are extremely unwilling to die if they are not satisfied.

But whether it is the farmers and herdsmen who have belonged to their tribe for generations, or the unrelated Liao people and rulers, no one really will feel sorry or sad for their plight.

As soon as these guys settled down after going south, they immediately reverted to their old ways and began to be arrogant and lascivious, and became corrupt, as if they wanted to make up for the pleasure time lost by fleeing as soon as possible, and they were also afraid that the Liao State would suddenly die like the sudden rebellion of the Bohai people, and the wealth and dignity they owned did not have time to squander and enjoy it and suddenly died with the destruction of the country and the family, and the people of his subordinates were not coaxing, encouraging, comforting and even caring when the emperor fled south all day long, that set of benevolence and wisdom are all fake, The main purpose is to coax the subordinates to protect and help them travel long distances to escape and prevent disasters, besides, if you want to have the strength and prestige to be a noble lord again after you reach the safety of the south, you must also have your own tribal strength as the foundation, otherwise you will become a bare-headed man, who will rule and enslave? Who can drive him to be faithful and honest?

When the time comes, it has to be the old subordinates who understand and be handy, and they are sure to know and be sure.

The current recruits or newly assigned subordinates are not reliable, and they dare not let go of credit.

To put it bluntly, they still regard the lowly people as cattle and horses, and still feel that their lives are inherently noble and unattainable, so they should enslave and enjoy the blood and sweat of the people. Wouldn't that mess up the rules of dignity and inferiority?

And for the lowly people, who just enjoyed the love, benevolence, and even thoughtful care of the lord in the south, they were so surprised that they were moved to tears, and they just tasted the happiness of being respected and cared for by the noble and bigwigs, and they swore to follow and repay the lord loyally. It's like pouring a basin of ice water on your dog days.

I didn't know that a mustard like myself could be respected and cared for by a big man, but I didn't know what it tasted like, but I knew it but it was gone, and my resentment and rebellion were ......

The history of brutal rule tells people that slaves and other oppressed people resist the most fierce oppression not when they are most brutally oppressed, but when the ruler eases the oppression and relaxes the brutal slavery. The overthrow of the rule is not at the time of the most brutal rule, but also when the oppressed are treated a little.

Not on the contrary, when the tyrannical ruler begins to speak a little humane, the slaves and other oppressed will be grateful and content, and will be willing to work hard to gain more recognition and better treatment from the ruler.

Hidden in this are deep social psychology, philosophy, political philosophy, and other big questions about the struggle for human existence.

Looking back, the nobles, officials, and leaders of Liaodong who fled south were not only secretly hated by their old people, because they would inevitably compete with the locals for profits when they settled down in the new land, and they were also hated and even hated by the locals, but they were conceited of their status, had a stable national ruling system, environmental protection and priority care, and naturally did not care what the lowly people thought.

It's nothing to know whether to live or die like this.

After all, they are indeed nobles, the masters of the Liao State, and they are naturally privileged classes, and they are qualified to ignore the emotions of the lowly and grassy.

However, they still rely on their old qualifications or identities and the intricate relationships behind them, dissatisfied with their new home, complaining, asking for this and that, and they can't help but are idle to find trouble with the government. Ye Lu Chun, the king of Yan, who is responsible for the resettlement of 'refugees' like them, and the Xijing Datong of Yunzhong Mansion stayed behind to guard Yelu Yujian, and also included the absurd but still noble Liao Emperor Yelu Yanxi.

It's really all dead now, it's really as everyone wants, it's all gone.

Emperor Liao and King Yan no longer have to be annoyed to death by the guys who grit their teeth with hatred all day long, but they can't really annoy them to death, and they are completely cleaned up all of a sudden.

Without these waste scourges, and without the difficult network of relationships that are constantly being cut and organized, the Liao State will have much less trouble and internal friction in such internal affairs in the future, and it can gather strength to fight against the Jin State, at least the upper rulers will be much easier. I really have to thank the pirates for helping them in their brutal robbery.

However, whether to be grateful for the help of the pirates, that is after the magnates of the Liao State have time to ponder the taste, and now, from the Liao Emperor to the low-level rulers, there is only a grit of hatred for pirates.

Far away in the west, there was a pirate robbery in Yunzhong and Yanshan Mansion at almost the same time, and the Yanyun region was robbed, and the west was slightly later than the east.

This time difference is the time when the east suffers, but it is too late to inform the west to prepare for the possibility of encountering sudden changes, and it is also the time difference that the pirate army in the east can go farther to the west.

All this was calculated in advance according to the actual situation of the distance, road conditions, tribes, military strength, and distribution of government in the Yanyun area.

In the Yunzhong region, echoing the east, the pirates who were the first to make trouble were the 20,000 troops who had been prepared earlier and ambushed in the far west.

The commander-in-chief of the team is the commander-in-chief of the Northern Army of the pirate country - Du Bao.

The 20,000 pirates are all Du Bao's subordinates directly under the Central Army of the Northern Army, and they are all elite cavalry.

The generals who participated in the war naturally included Wei He and Yutai, the sworn brothers of the Chinese army general Du Bao, in addition to the original Song Western Army who was familiar with and most adapted to the western battle, Zhao Yue traveled west to collect the gold, silver, copper and iron of the four heavenly kings in Kongtong Mountain, namely: Gai Jinying, the king of the heavens, Pang Yinhai, the king of Pingtian, the king of Pingtian, Wang Tiejie, the king of Dingtian, and other generals.

This man and the other troops who infiltrated at the same time as his entourage suddenly infiltrated as early as more than 20 days after the Liao army invaded the Jin State and fought for more than 20 days.

At that time, Yanyun's garrison force was unprecedentedly empty; A large number of young and strong men who were not good at fighting in the Liao State and old men who were in good health and willing to work tirelessly actively went to the far north to receive and bring back cattle, horses, sheep and all the materials and booty obtained by the warriors; Other women and children at home are also happily busy with their daily grazing, farming, receiving and raising and other endless work, the whole country is in an unprecedented excitement, but the people who come and go north and south are extremely mixed and chaotic, everywhere is chaotic, the government is also powerless, and they are very busy, they have their harvest, and they have no time to take care of the chores in the countryside. Moreover, the countryside, villages, towns, and tribes also did not welcome them at this time, and these corrupt officials and corrupt officials came down to do a lot of things and even set up clever names, and they used clever words to take advantage of the war goods that the warriors exchanged for their lives.

It was at this moment that Du Baobu suddenly took the lead.

Coming from the Goryeo Peninsula across the sea, on the moonlight in the big night from the early reconnaissance of the location of the head of the quietly and quickly landed, although all cavalry, this time did not bring horses, from the general to the small soldiers all on foot, in the special to meet them Duan Jingzhu, Shi Yong's Yanshan horse thief leader under the guidance, the various departments overnight rapid march into the sneak, at dawn on the way on the way to predetermined mountains and forests wilderness no one to hide and rest, take advantage of the moonlight of these days to take the way of night and day stay, quickly sneaked into Yanshan.

They did not loot the miscellaneous Liao gangs they encountered on the way and excitedly returned to various places from the north escorting rich booty, but deliberately avoided their camps and concentrated on sneaking.

The follow-up western expeditionary troops also infiltrated in batches according to the plan and the progress of the Liao army's looting in the north.

After entering Yanshan, he hid his whereabouts, and everything was easy.

Under the leadership and cooperation of Shi Yong, Duan Jingzhu, Pan Xun, Pan Su, the four generals of the horse thieves and the department, Du Bai's department separately raided other murderous Liao horse thieves hidden in the Yanshan Zhongli Village, killed them, took their lair, and did not let go of a single person, plundered the windfall of the Jin State that these horse thieves also took the opportunity to make, indirectly cheapened the safety of the Liao people's escort team, and got the preliminary food necessary for the long-distance transfer into the clouds, and other burdens that were not needed for the march and battle in the mountains, including the war horses, were all left to the four generals of the horse thieves and the follow-up troops to deal with, and after a little rest, and the other troops accompanying him, Duan Jingzhu, who was the best at being a horse thief and also robbed and fought in the clouds and was familiar with how to quietly march back and forth between Yunzhong and Yanshan Mansion, plus the fine Pan Xun, and the elite horse thieves sneaked in the Yan Mountain, the goal was to turn into the Taihang Mountain Range, during which there were Liao people in the flat land, and they were still marching on a moonlit night and hiding and resting during the day, and as a result, they all entered the Taihang Mountain Range smoothly without danger.

There is a common sense: the Taihang Mountains are located between Shanxi Province and the North China Plain, spanning Beijing, Hebei, Shanxi, Henan 4 provinces and cities, the mountain range starts from the West Mountain of Beijing in the north, extends to the Wangwu Mountain in the border area of Henan and Shanxi in the south, connects the Shanxi Plateau in the west, borders the North China Plain in the east, and stretches for more than 400 kilometers in the northeast-southwest direction.

To others, the Taihang Mountains are just a common mountain range in the north, but they are just big, and even a mountain range that is disliked because it obstructs north-south traffic. But for the pirate army who want to infiltrate Shanxi, it is the most convenient natural passage that can quietly penetrate from Yanshan Mansion to the hinterland of Yunzhong Mansion, and they like this long mountain range very much.

As soon as the sneaking army successfully penetrated the Taihang Mountain, where the terrain was vast and complex and lacked people, everything was free again.

They always marched on foot in the mountains.

At this time, the advantages of the regular and harsh long-distance weight-bearing training, the drilling of mountains, and the combat training that the Northern Army usually received became apparent.

The soldiers were well fed, trained well, physically strong, had sufficient endurance, and had strengthened their wills and were also strong.

Along the way, all the dangerous factors encountered by hunters, medicine pickers, mountain dwellers, etc., were wiped out or controlled, and the mountain thieves and horse thieves who had been reconnoitred in advance were also disguised and completely swept away by the Liao army's surprise attack, so as not to expose the whereabouts of the army, but also to seize wealth, obtain military supplies, and still lose the burden to the management of the various troops lurking in turn.

The 20,000 men led by Du Bao and his follow-up troops quietly entered Shanxi from the Taihang Mountains, and then according to the careful plan before the war, they were subdivided into several guerrilla units, led by the major generals, who lurked in the mountains and fields of various key areas in Yunzhong Prefecture and quietly settled down.

The main purpose of their early infiltration was not to rob Yunzhong, but to try to block the way for the Liao army and the nobles and nobles in the Yunzhong region to flee westward when they heard the alarm.

Zhao Yue wanted to rob and teach a lesson to the Liao State, which was still arrogant and didn't know whether to live or die, and was determined to take advantage of this most rare opportunity to rob the Liao State to the bottom of the stomach at one time.

The population of the Liao State was concentrated in the Yanyun region this time to avoid the Jin army's madness and retaliation. The Liao army is fighting in the north, is falling into a frenzy of looting and plundering and the Jin army is crazy everywhere to intercept and intercept and kill counterattack and retaliate, taste the sweetness, grow momentum and confidence and have the original "fight Jurchen" game of pleasure, feel just right, arrogant, and think about killing more and robbing more destruction and more venting, neither want to easily withdraw back, want to retreat and can't act in unison, each fights for itself, independent of each other, one in the east and one in the west, no one cares about the life and death of other troops, who knows who is in the cat or is killing and killing, no one can care about anyone, They all only cared about working hard according to their own situation and intentions, and went deep into the land of Jin's country and grabbed the western grasslands farther away, and it was not so easy to get out if they wanted to get out and come back soon to rescue their country. The wealth owned and robbed by the Liao State is all concentrated in Yanyun......

Is there a better chance for a big robbery in the world?

If you miss it, or if you are reluctant to trap the people of Liao like this, then it is called Tianyu, and if you don't take it, you will be blamed. That's called being so stupid that it can't be helped, and it should be wiped out.
