Section 250 Sweep North 14

Yelu Dezhong and Bao Mi Sheng were so frightened by Bian Xiang's furious momentum that they didn't dare to say a word again, for fear that no matter how much noise came out, it would also provoke the pirates' ferocity, and not only gave up their credibility and slaughtered the useful officials and backbone generals in Jizhou, but also killed themselves.

The pirate army was busy robbing from house to house and killing traitors, and had no time to spend on killing more Liao people.

The Liao people still remained, and were killed by the Jin State in the resistance to the Jurchens, and the Jin State was abused and enslaved.

It saves killing more innocent Khitans, weakens the population power of the Liao State, and does the Jin State a great favor, and it will also lead to an inextricable inter-ethnic hatred between the pirate state and the Khitan. This kind of hatred is in the bones, and it is inconvenient for the pirate states to annex and quickly assimilate in the future, attracting the remnants of the Liao population after the war into a unified nation.

History has long proven that if one nation as a whole is emotionally hostile to the other, then it will be a long time or even never possible to truly integrate with each other.

This hatred is not directed at that person, but a bitter hatred and hostility towards his own people.

For example, the Chinese nation is the most tolerant and generous nation in the world, and it can be called a high-minded person in dealing with foreign enemies who surrender. But when it comes to you and me, he may not hate a certain Japanese person, and may even like him (her), but will you not hate the Japanese people?

Eight years of beast-like wanton aggression and slaughter, and even longer years of aggression and encroachment, and all kinds of extortion and extortion, which were rampant and overbearing, and disregard for human lives, how can such a national enmity be forgotten?

And you and I represent the feelings and will of the entire nation.

Friendship between nations is easy to forget with the passage of time, but hatred is genetically passed down from generation to generation, and once it is touched, it can explode violently.

The Liao State was still strong at this time, and the Jurchen beast soldiers could not penetrate deep into the Liao territory. Although most of the Liao people have heard that the Jurchens are barbaric and terrible like wild beasts, they have not yet come into contact with them, they have no intuitive feelings, and they have not yet fallen into the hands of the Jurchens and tasted inhuman abuse. When they knew what it was like and realized that the cruelty of the Jurchens was simply inhumane, and they were both afraid and extremely hateful to the Jurchens from the bottom of their bones, it was natural that even if they surrendered to the Jurchens, they would not be sincere, but they were just forced by the Jin army, and they would definitely betray and take revenge if they had the opportunity. With a strong contrast, the Liao people realized that the pirates who had robbed them turned out to be so good, and it was easy to integrate into the new country by learning a deep lesson.

This is a serious and major issue that can be elevated to the feelings and will of an entire nation among the annexation and assimilation of alien races, and it should not be taken lightly.

But at this moment, the Liao people in Jizhou City secretly hate pirates very much.

Because, although pirates do not kill and destroy indiscriminately, it is the time when the city is being sacked.

Whether it is public or private, whether it is a horse or a horse, iron armor, leather armor, weapons, metals that can be used as murder weapons, money, cloth, fur, good clothes, medicinal materials...... All robberies are clean and slippery. Things are robbed, and people are also robbed. Doctors, veterinarians, craftsmen...... The practical talents in the eyes of the pirates are all robbed, and the whole family is gone.

The rest of the city was plundered, and it was inevitable that the king himself and his rich and luxurious house would be regained.

The clever cook in the house, the groom who is good at raising horses, and the big and small beauties who are servants and masters...... It doesn't matter if he or she is loyal to the Liao State or the master, they are all robbed. In the same way, Jerod's heavy armor and fine clothes were stripped off. Others, not to mention luxurious quilts, curtains, mink coats and other supplies, even the king's finely carved huanghuali bed, tables and chairs of precious wood at home are not missed.

Pirates don't have to worry about moving these things around the ocean.

Anyway, you don't have to bother yourself. There were plenty of captives, both men and women, under fierce guards, who honestly loaded and carried them all the way to the pirate ships on the river.

This strategy is to loot the wealth of the Liao State, that is, to let the Liao magnates live a difficult life so that they can have the will and urgency to fight against the Jin State.

The palace was ransacked.

Bian Xiang let go of Yelude's heavy bondage and invited the king and Baomi Sheng to drink tea in the living room of the palace.

He said leisurely, "King Wild Donkey, don't feel sorry for your bed. As a northerner, how good and comfortable it is to sleep on the fire kang. What bed do you think you want? We pirates need beds only when we live in the hot South. Do you say? ”

"It's your mother." Yerod didn't squeak on his lips, but he scolded secretly in his heart, "Isn't it right for northerners to sleep in beds?" I am the noble and powerful top prince of the Great Liao Kingdom, and I have the best luxurious bed to survive the summer...... You damned robbers......"

Bian Xiang didn't need to guess, he didn't need to look at his words, he knew that Yelu had to focus on scolding himself.

But he didn't get angry, pretended not to know, and smiled and said, "Come, please drink tea to quench the fire." This is the tea in your house, although it is a dirty thing extorted from Song Guona, it is indeed good tea. It's so fragrant. You can drink it, but you're welcome. ”

Yelu Dezhong and Bao Mi Sheng, the bitter-faced lords, were anxious and troubled from within, their hearts were full of fire, but they didn't dare to attack, they didn't dare to show even a trace of a look that would cause death, their mouths were dry, and they were indeed thirsty, so they simply drank under Bian Xiang's kind invitation, cup after cup. I am not afraid of poison in tea.

They knew that if the pirates wanted to kill them, it would be easier to grab the knife directly.

For the little life on the board, who needs to play any extra tricks and spend those thoughts on the knife wielder?

What they didn't guess was that there was something in the tea, and they didn't know that what they were drinking was actually a pirate product, the "pure heart and few desires" soup.

Not only the two of them were drinking, but all the capable ministers and generals of the Liao State who had not been killed in the city drank whether they wanted to or not.

Bian Xiang saw that the two of them were depressed but refreshing, he smiled mildly on his face, but scolded secretly in his heart: "Your Liao Kingdom and the Khitan clan are about to perish, and you Liao people's backbone capable people still don't know how to work hard with all their strength on their necks, so we pirates have no choice but to help you with Meiyi and force you to work hard." If you are abused from desire, you will not be hollowed out by beauty, and you will not be able to indulge in pleasure from alcohol and beauty, and you will not be so corrupt from the body to the will, and you will have the physical strength and strength to fight against the Jurchens. ”

Also, after so many years of plague to the Han nation, it is time to repay it today.

I can't kill you now, but I can't let you continue to be happy in the future. Let's teach you a lesson, so that you can grow your brains.

Jerod drank his tea heavily, numbly watching as his rich and luxurious home quickly became empty, but he ignored all this loss.

He had expected this.

After all, they Khitans did the same when they robbed others, and they did it even more ruthlessly, asking for things, human lives, and destroying the rest.

At least, the pirates didn't destroy everything they didn't want or couldn't move, as they did.

Now they just wanted to stop messing around, and they ended up being teased and killed.

The pirates also explained their own looting: "We are here to rob, not to take other people's wealth by force and savagely like you Liao people. We have cleared the tumor nobles that hindered the survival and strength of the Liao Kingdom for you, and helped you solve the most important problems of your clan. We are not related to you, so there is no reason to help in vain. The things that were removed were the hard work of the help. You Liao people have paid worthwhile, you are not wronged or lost, you should not hate us, but you should be grateful to us. ”

"Take a step back and say, without these people, things and things will corrode your body and mind, and you also have the spirit to teach the Jurchens and those miscellaneous savages who betrayed you, right?"

"I believe that you Liao people hate those betrayers even more, and you definitely want to kill them and rob them all. So, you should be more grateful to us pirates than hateful. “

"You hate us now, it doesn't matter what you think in your hearts, in the future, you will have the strength to destroy the Kingdom of Jin and become the overlord again, and then you will understand the kindness of our pirates behind the robbery of you, and you will be grateful for our good intentions in indirectly forcing you to be thrifty, and glad that we robbed you today but did not kill indiscriminately......"

Bala, bala, like a magic sound that eats away at the brain.

Life is in the hands of pirates, and resentment is the most meaningless and dangerous thing.

I don't want to be killed by pirates, whether it is a Liao official, a Liao citizen, or a prisoner of the Liao army, I can only listen to the magic sound and tremble, honestly cooperate with the pirates to search and do the arranged work.

When they saw that the pirates did not loot all the food they relied on for survival, but thoughtfully left some that they could support until the autumn harvest, they did not resist even more.

After the looting was quickly completed, the pirates also quickly left, and went to loot elsewhere on the same day, and did not leave the Liao realm.

But the Liao people in the city breathed a long sigh of relief, and their long-hanging hearts finally let go.

Don't die. Nor do you have to be taken as miserable slaves. There are also homes that have not been destroyed, and there is food. This is already a great deal of luck.

If it had been their own robbery, they would never have been so merciful.

Therefore, if the property of cattle and sheep, or the beautiful and capable daughters, wives and concubines or even children in the family are robbed, it is not unbearable.

If you can't bear it, you can't do it.

The weapons and equipment are gone. There was not even a single bulky bed crossbow left to defend the city.

Unarmed, just a lamb to the slaughter, how dare he provoke pirates to turn back and take revenge......

The Jizhou region of the Liao State was the two military states of the Song State of the East China Sea Jizhou and the central Qingzhou and the eastern part of the Xin'an Military Prefecture in the west. In other words, the main task of the army under the command of Yelude was to fight against the Cangbei Army led by Zhao Gonglian.

As for the 100,000 so-called heavy soldiers led by the Hejian Mansion of the Song State and the important minister Su Taiwei who sat in the border pass, no one cared about the rulers of the Liao State.

The Liao State knew very well the famous civil and military ministers of the Song State, and knew very well what kind of official Su Taiwei was, and he was very disdainful of guarding the border, knowing that even if the Liao State was empty and let it lead troops to fight, this high-ranking official named a loyal monarch and patriot doctor who understood military affairs did not have the courage to ask the Song Court to fight, let alone dare to play the set of 'will not be subject to the orders of the foreign monarch' according to the specific situation of the opponent's current affairs.

Obeying the command of the imperial court, not doing much to make trouble in the official affairs of the enemy country, and being an official in peace and stability are the first choice of Song officials.

A scholar like Su Taiwei does not seek merit in guarding the border, but he seeks no fault, and he is safe and secure, and it is serious to stay in office peacefully and smoothly until his qualifications are smooth and he returns to Beijing to continue to enjoy happiness.

Even the Zhejia army, which belonged to the elite of the Song Western Army, the Liao State never really paid attention to it.

Knowing that it was just a powerful gatekeeper dog who kept the 'rules', the Liao army did not go to the territory of the Discount Army, and the Folding Army had already burned high incense, how could it dare to take the initiative to attack the huge Liao State at the critical moment when the Song State was so weak and could perish, and distracted attention from the domestic dynamics and hidden interest opportunities.

This time, against the Zhejia Army and the 100,000 border troops on the West Road of the Song River, the Liao State only deployed 50,000 troops on such a long defensive line.

The Liao State never took the Hebei West Route Army in its eyes.

Although Yelu knew that the Cangbei army was also in turmoil, most of the soldiers defected, and the pressure on the border was further sharply reduced, and a lot of troops were dispatched before that, and they also urgently went north to plague Jin and Zahu, striving to destroy the biggest enemy in World War I, Jin State, and by the way, he also further expanded the wealth of robbery, but there were still nearly 80,000 soldiers left in the border pass.

It's just that the main body left behind is a second-class soldier, and only some of the elite soldiers at the border pass will be the pillar.

It's not that he thinks that the Liao army left behind can't defeat the remaining elite army in Cangbei and needs to use absolute numerical superiority to confront, but that without so many troops to defend the border passes, the loopholes everywhere are not enough to prevent Zhao Gonglian from gathering the Cangbei army to raid Jizhou City, or also waving the army in the form of guerrilla warfare by dividing troops, taking advantage of the weakness to invade the hinterland of the Liao State, burning, killing, looting, and looting while the fire is burning.

This time, almost all the local troops in Liao were withdrawn, and even the herdsmen and ordinary people who dared to fight and wanted to kill people and make a fortune also participated in the war.

The main tribes and populations in the north of the Great Wall were temporarily transferred to Guannei, and the countless results of the robbery that had been sent back were temporarily placed in the Yanyun area, which was managed by the deserving ones themselves, so as to prevent the Jin State from giving up saving the country and gathering troops to kill in the northern hinterland of the Liao State, and to carry out robbery and revenge, and play "encircling Wei to save Zhao".

In this way, he was even more afraid of being sabotaged by the Song army going north.

But the Liao army was tired and tired of the expedition and fought bloody battles for dozens of days, but the results were greatly cheaper than the Cangbei army.

The only thing that Liao was afraid of was the Cangbei Army.

Yelu has been stationed in Jizhou for a long time, and he already knows Zhao Gonglian's foresight and strength, and he knows that this Song Guoshi doctor is outstanding, and he has seen how he behaves unabidingly, "rules", not in line with conventions, and elusive. Still leaving heavy troops to guard against it is afraid of falling into the calculation of Zhao Gonglian's resignation turmoil before.

He couldn't believe that a brilliant and capable patriot like Zhao Gonglian would ignore the unprecedented danger of the Song State and the Han nation, and at this critical juncture, he really resigned and quit in anger at the injustice of the imperial court, fearing that this was the bait deliberately set by Zhao Gonglian to lure the Liao army south to start a war with the Song State.

Sure enough, Zhao Gonglian went back to his hometown for a walk, and in a blink of an eye he returned to Cangbei and was reported to be more powerful, and this time even the Hejian Mansion army could manage it.

The Gaoyangguan Roadside Army under the leadership of Su Taiwei is a sheep without threat, but as soon as it falls into the hands of Zhao Gonglian, it may turn into a wolf-like pawn and dare to come to Liao to commit murder.

The Cangzhao family is very good at creating miracles.

Undoubtedly, finding an excuse to deploy troops to invade Liao without authorization, Zhao Gonglian absolutely dared to fight a counterattack and lead the army to fight against Liao as a scourge.

With Zhao Gonglian's foresight and courage, he would never watch the Liao State pour troops to eradicate the Jin State in one fell swoop, and then be able to calmly crush or even take the opportunity to destroy the extremely weak Song State, this kind of thing happened smoothly. The Cangzhao family and the Liao State have an inextricable mortal enmity. Just for himself and his family to survive, Zhao Gonglian will never let Liao concentrate on cleaning up the Jurchens.

Yelu Dezhong did not take the opportunity to wave his army south to kill, rob and destroy Cangbei, but also knew that Zhao Gonglian was extremely vindictive, bold and tough, if the Liao side dared to attack Cangbei and provoked first, then Zhao Gonglian would definitely return with a look and revenge more ruthlessly.

The Cangbei army was empty, but Zhao Gonglian was not so easy to kill by taking advantage of the void. Countless facts in the past have repeatedly verified how difficult the Cangzhao people are to deal with.

Moreover, Cangbei has nothing to grab.

There are not many country dwellers left. The city has become a pure military city. There are only unripe grains. Just for this little benefit, it's not worth the trouble and worry about waving the army.

What Yelu had never imagined was that Zhao Gonglian had no excuse to make trouble and did not force him to make trouble, but the pirates came, he and his palace were looted, and his border troops were also robbed.
