…

received the cursive script sent by Zhao Ji, Cai Yan's nose was almost crooked!

Fuck it!

Lao Tzu is short of food, lack of soldiers, lack of materials, and don't know what the next strategic goal is, so you fucking sent Lao Tzu a picture and a "champion Hou" title, what the hell do you think?

It took a lot of effort for Cai to suppress the anger in his heart, and then asked the staff officer of the army to write a letter of "gratitude and tears" to Zhao Ji, and praised Zhao Ji's merits, claiming that the front line could achieve such a big victory, all of which depended on Zhao Ji's strategy, and at the same time continued to ask Zhao Ji for troops, food, and materials, and asked about the next strategic goals.

After the letter was sent, Cai still thought about it and decided not to wait, and directly recruited troops to expand the army.

But—

The cloud land is not comparable to the Song realm.

In the Song realm, Cai could still recruit troops directly.

But not in the clouds.

Because Cai is still in a different place - in the Song realm, Cai still represents the Zhao and Song courts, and represents the official, while in Yundi, Cai still represents the invader.

Therefore, before recruiting troops in Yundi, Cai still had to obtain any of the people in Yundi first.

So how can you get the approval of the people in Yundi?

Of course, it is the magic weapon of our army, the public trial, the division of fields, and the grievance meeting.

……

As soon as Qiu Yi arrived in Yingzhou City, Yue Fei hurriedly handed over all civil and political affairs to Qiu Yu, while he himself was only in charge of arranging, recovering other areas of Yingzhou, and how to fortify, and did not interfere in civil and political affairs at all.

Seeing that Yue Fei handed over it so simply, Qiu Yi suddenly had some good feelings about Cai Ying's separation of military and government.

After taking over Yingzhou City, Qiu Yi immediately set about restoring order in Yingzhou City.

Wherever the hatred is pointed, the people he brings will be beaten, and the decrees will be issued one by one, and they will be implemented quickly one by one, unimpeded.

It can be said that everything is developing in the direction that the enemy expects, except for one thing - the political department has a public trial.

When the order of Yingzhou City was restored, the people of the Political Department set up a public trial platform in front of the government office, and then set up two big flags in front of the public trial platform - one with the words "Champion Hou" and the other with the words "Skynet is restored and not leaked".

Although Cai has already taught people in the Political Department about such a public trial.

But this is the first public trial after all, so even though Li Wei is already a very mature old political worker, he is still cautious about this first public trial.

In order to ensure that there were no accidents, Li Wei asked the former intelligence guard to investigate secretly, and found a few of the most heinous powerful and wealthy people, and then found some excuses.

When the political department began to conduct a public trial, there was immediately a tout to beat the drum and voice the grievances.

The people in the Political Department were not merciful at all about these most heinous magnates and tycoons, and they were all arrested and tried in the public trial, then beheaded, and then their homes were raided.

After slashing more than a dozen people in a row, the person who had a deep hatred of blood had the courage to stand up and take revenge.

The Political Department immediately sent people to verify them one by one, and if they were true, they would definitely immediately put them on the public trial table and accept the people's trial.

And if the people convict a person, then do not say it, kill, and then raid the house.

The trial gave those who had been treated unfairly an outlet for revenge and revenge.

Everywhere there is oppression and exploitation.

What's more, Liao is still a country ruled by the Khitan people, and other ethnic groups are respected and valued by the Khitan people, in this case, how can there be no injustice, how can there be no grievances?

Therefore, as soon as this opening was torn open by the people in the Political Department, it was out of control.

People who have been wronged have climbed to the public trial table to complain, and those who have used their power to bully others have all been punished.

After that, the heads were rolling and the blood was flowing......

Qiu Wei frowned at this, because this public trial is like child's play, as long as the masses feel that this person deserves to die, this person has to die, where is the law, and besides, even if a person is guilty, he can't just kill him, copy his house, and not punish him, and more importantly, Qiu Wei is worried that if the people's murderous nature is aroused, they will become crazy.

It will become uncontrollable, and if that's the case, then how can they gain a foothold in this place?

What makes Qiu Yi dumbfounded is that the people did not hold a grudge against Cai Zhen because Cai Zhen's people held a public trial, on the contrary, many people were grateful to Cai Zhen for avenging them, and even wanted to sell their lives to Cai Zhen who avenged them.

By the way, Cai still got a lot of gold, silver, jewelry, and grain.

It's a win-win.

Just when the hatred was amazed, the Political Department came up with a second trick - dividing grain and fields.

Two stones of grain and 20 acres of land per person, regardless of men, women and children, Khitan, Bohai, Xi, Hanmin, as long as you are willing to come, as long as you are willing to ask, I will give you grain and fields.

Not to mention the twenty acres of land, in peacetime, for the poor, this is definitely a great wealth, how many poor people's lifelong dream is to have a few acres of their own land, and now they have it at their fingertips.

If the field is not so quick to bear fruit, and it still needs time to ferment slowly, then two stones of grain are immediate benefits.

You must know that two stones of grain are enough for a strong man with a large amount of food to eat for more than half a year, and the old and weak children can even eat for a year or two.

In recent years, although the land of Yanyun is not as frequent as the two banks of the Yellow River, but because of the bad year, the harvest is not very good, the key is that wars are frequent, and the imperial court has been expropriating again and again, so to speak, the poor have not eaten a full meal for a long time - this is also one of the reasons for the continuous uprisings in the Liao State.

Therefore, each person can get two stones of grain, which really helps the poor people a lot, and even saves their lives, and then makes most people begin to accept Cai Yi and the regime headed by Cai Yi.

Of course, Cai's public trial is not harmless at all, as it will inevitably push the original elite and the rich class to the opposite side of himself.

But this is just like what Cai still said to Qiu Yi and Guo Yong, they cannot be accepted by all classes, and they cannot have both, so they must make a trade-off.

And Cai still made a choice a long time ago - he didn't want to stand side by side with the elite class in Yundi, but wanted to stand on the same front with the poor people, and then create a new elite class.

After the trick of dividing grain and fields came out, Cai still quickly won the support of many people in Yundi.

Moreover, it is not only the Han people who support Cai Ying, but also the people of the Xi people, Bohai, and Zubu, and even a small number of Khitans who support Cai Zhen.

Especially after the Political Department sacrificed the third magic weapon, the people of Shuozhou City were like crazy, and they supported Cai Yi with slogans.

In this way, whether it was the enemy organizing them to farm the land, or the soldiers recruiting soldiers, the people of Shuozhou actively participated.

After experiencing all this hatred myself, after feeling the magic of the Political Department, I can't help but admire the ability of the Political Department, it can win over the hearts of the people in such a short period of time, which is also incredible!

At the same time, the hatred with high political sensitivity faintly discovered a very terrible thing, that is, everything the Political Department did revolved around Cai Ying, and did not mention the emperor of Zhao Song and the court of Zhao Song at all, and many people in Shuozhou did not even know that there was an emperor of Zhao Song and a court of Zhao Song.

Qiu Wei couldn't help but think: "Cai still wants to be self-reliant, right?" ”

People who have the same worries as Qiu Xi, and Guo Yong, who has the same experience as Qiu Xi.

After experiencing all kinds of miracles in the Political Department, Guo Yong was also shocked by the ability of the Political Department, and was a little worried that Cai could still stand on his own, otherwise, it would not be explained that the Political Department only played Cai Yi in the name and did not mention the actions of the Zhao Song court and the Zhao Song Emperor.

At this time, Li Gang came to Shuozhou.

Qiu Yi hesitated again and again, and told Li Gang about his worries.

When Li Gang heard this, his heart also rose.

Later, Li Gang went to Shuozhou again, and Guo Yong also told Li Gang about it.

Both of them said this, and Li Gang had to pay attention.

But because Li Gang's level is too low, so low that he is not qualified to give Zhao Ji a chapter at all, and in addition, Yunnan, which is in ruins, has restrained too much of Li Gang's energy, Li Gang can only put this matter down first, and make every effort to show his strength here in Yunnan according to Cai Ying's explanation......

……

The day before the capital of Liaozhong was broken, Yelu Yanxi fled to Nanjing, Liao overnight with his family and personal guards.

Nanjing stayed behind Yeluchun and persuaded Yelu Yanxi to stay in Nanjing to organize forces to fight a decisive battle with the Jin army.

Yelu Yanxi did not agree, he named Yeluchun as the king of Qin and Jin, and ordered Yeluchun to organize forces to resist the Jin army in Nanjing, while he himself continued to flee westward under the pretext of "going to Xijing to gather men and horses".

The next day, Yelu Yanxi left Nanjing, Liao with his family and thousands of guards, and went west out of Juyongguan to Mandarin Duck in Yundi.

Mandarin Duck Luo is a mirror-like lake, where the water is clean, the environment is very peaceful, and there are many waterfowl, especially the beautiful white swans that inhabit flocks.

It was one of Yelu Yanxi's favorite places, and he came here once a year to hunt.

Yelu Yanxi hid in the big tent of mandarin ducks and bowls and rested for several days in a row, and his anxious mood was gradually calmed down.

On this day, Yelu Yanxi walked out of the big tent and came to the lake.

Looking at the blue and secluded lake, looking at the frolicking white swans in the lake, Yelu Yanxi recalled his own carefree hunting here in the past, and couldn't help but feel a lot of emotion!

But—

After not feeling for too long, Yelu Yanxi was once again immersed in the fun of hunting and forgot all his troubles......

……

After the Jin army captured Zhongjing, it seized a large number of strategic materials, including 12,000 war horses, 5,000 cattle, 1,700 camels, 47,000 sheep, and 350 vehicles.

Wanyan Xian also divided his troops to guard the key places, and at the same time sent people back to Xianzhou to report the victory to Wanyan Agu.

Wanyan Aguda was very happy to learn of the great victory in Liaozhongjing, and he issued an edict to Xianye: "I appreciate you for commanding the troops outside, abiding by your duties, capturing the city, and pacifying the people." You have sent your soldiers to recruit all the troops in front of the mountain, and the plans and arrangements have been made, which is very good. If they could not march immediately behind the mountain, they would cultivate the fields and graze their cattle and wait until autumn to raise troops. want

If you find that you can enter the army, you must make a decision and act at the opportunity. If there is a need for additional troops, report the number. Don't let the team slack on the basis of a single battle victory. Be good at appeasing those who surrender and return, and read my edict to the soldiers, so that they can understand my intentions. ”

At this time, Xiao Xiamo, the king of Liaoxi, who was entrenched in Bei'anzhou, constantly sent troops to harass the Jin army.

Wanyan Xian also ordered Wanyan Zonghan to lead an army to attack Xiamo and get rid of it.

Wanyan Zonghan and Wanyan Xiyin, Wanyan Lou and others attacked together, and soon occupied Bei'an City.

Wanyan Zonghan let Wanyan Xiyin pass through Bei'an Prefecture, and sent people to reconnoiter Yelu Yanxi's whereabouts.

Wanyan Xiyin sent a number of scouts to inquire about the news.

On this day, Tanma captured one of Yelu Yanxi's guards named Yelu Xi Nilie.

From Yelu Xi's mouth, Wanyan Xiyin learned that Yelu Yanxi was hunting in Mandarin Ducks, and the Liao army was now scattered and had no fighting spirit.

Wanyan Xiyin reported the matter to Wanyan Zonghan.

Wanyan Zonghan felt that this was a good opportunity to march, and he immediately wrote to Wanyan Xianye, requesting that troops be sent to attack Yuanyang Luo.

Wan Yan Xian also replied: "When we set out on the expedition, the emperor did not let us march into Shanxi, and this matter must be discussed auspiciously. ”

After Yan Zonghan was ready to send troops to attack Yelu Yanxi, after reading Yan Xianye's reply, he thought: "The fighter plane is fleeting, how can it be lost?" ”

Wanyan Zonghan's courage and courage were very great, and he decided to act immediately, so he wrote to Wanyan Xianye and said: "Although the emperor did not let us attack the mountain queen, let us act at the opportunity, if we miss this good opportunity to capture Emperor Liao, I am afraid it will be difficult to do it in the future." I have set out with my army, and I would like to tell you where I will meet the army. ”

After Yan Xian also saw the letter, he was still hesitant!

At this time, Wanyan Zonggan happened to be beside him, and he repeatedly persuaded him to accept Wanyan Zonghan's suggestion.

So, Wan Yan Xian also sent someone to inform Wan Yan Zonghan: "The army can meet in Xiwangling." ”

Subsequently, Wanyan Xie also held a military meeting in Xiwangling, and the meeting decided: the soldiers marched into the back of the mountain in two ways - Wanyan Xie also marched from Qingling, and Wanyan Zonghan marched from Huangling, and they agreed that the two armies would meet in Yangchengluo......
