Chapter 178: The End of the Road

Tie Meng was stunned and at a loss, he had thought of setting up an ambush in the Stone Canyon, but he had never expected that someone would have the same plan as him.

He was even more puzzled, and couldn't understand why the other party was obviously in front of him, but why he didn't set up an ambush in the Stone Canyon, but was ambushed ten miles away from the Stone Canyon.

In this way, you can also let yourself lose your troops and lose your generals, if you want to annihilate them all, but there is no possibility, but you can set up an ambush in the stone canyon, but you can take yourself by surprise and annihilate 40,000 cavalry.

After thinking about it, Tie Meng came to the conclusion that the other party led the troops and was a half-hung general, who did not have much talent, or rather, no talent at all.

But then, a rain of arrows really blinded him.

The opponent set up an ambush in the stone canyon, and did not leave all the cavalry in the direction of the canyon, on the contrary, many of them stayed on both sides, forming a three-sided encirclement.

At this time, Tie Meng finally understood, the stone canyon is wide on the outside and narrow on the inside, and the cavalry can rarely rush over, if the chaotic army attacks, I am afraid it will be more difficult, and there will be a large-scale stampede.

On the contrary, the cavalry lurks on both flanks to form a three-sided encirclement, which is more lethal.

Looking at the dense rain of arrows coming from all sides, Tie Meng subconsciously shrank behind Ma Chao, for fear of being wiped out by the rain of arrows.

However, the Donghu cavalry suffered, except for the lack of arrows after the break, many cavalry of the front army fell into the arrow array.

A rain of arrows fell, the Donghu cavalry suffered heavy losses, Tie Meng retreated, but shouted again: "Don't panic, pay attention to defense, everyone act when the opportunity comes!" ”

Tie Meng roared loudly, calming the hearts of many panicked soldiers. They all retreated with him, trying to distance themselves from each other.

In the end, they have experienced a hundred battles, these Donghu cavalry. is not a vegetarian, under the leadership of Tiemeng, he quickly stabilized his position and gathered around Tiemeng.

At this time, Feng Shihu, who was riding a war horse and slowly walked out from behind the rock, looked at the tens of thousands of cavalry in front of him.

also secretly admired that Zhongfu was still so calm and gradually got closer. Prepare to set up the formation, and some people put on longbows and prepare to shoot the Yan army on three sides.

Feng Shihu smiled lightly and looked at Hou Mingfeng's team that was getting closer and closer. Look at Tiemon again. Without the slightest hesitation.

It's not that he doesn't want to set up an ambush in the stone canyon, but the time is in a hurry, and the soldiers don't have time to arrange it at all, and there is only here, first block Tiemeng, take him by surprise, and then join forces with Hou Mingfeng, and annihilate him back and forth.

"Attack!" Feng Shihu held the ring hand knife high. Take a soft snort, as if agreed in advance. The ground on both wings suddenly became agitated, like an earth dragon turning over, and the ground lifted.

Suddenly, the ambush soldiers who had been hidden in advance revealed their figures, and these people were covered with withered grass and rotten leaves, and after they were hidden, they were easily undetectable.

Suddenly, thousands of people turned their bodies, for a time the withered grass flew around, the dust was filled, and they were only a few tens of meters away from the Donghu cavalry.

The lurking cavalry appeared unconsciously, and Tie Meng was also panicked.

The cavalry quickly lined up, armed with bows and arrows, and began to shoot arrows, the whole body of the Donghu cavalry was wrapped in animal skins, and it could not withstand the attack of arrow rain at all, but fortunately, Tiemeng took advantage of the situation to lead the cavalry to retreat, and slightly slowed down the casualties.

"Don't panic, the Yan army is on the inside of the mountain road and can't form an effective attack, so let's storm together and annihilate this cavalry."

Slightly calm and panicked in his heart, Tiemeng did not dare to delay, he must annihilate this cavalry before he can escape from Ascension, otherwise, this place in the Stone Canyon will be the place where he is buried.

Urging the war horses, leading the Donghu cavalry, began to charge, even if the ambush was in the middle of the ambush, the Yan army's ambush location was close to the mountain road, the inner side was narrower, and it was impossible to form a large-scale charge, on the contrary, their own side was on the outside, and they still had an advantage, and when their attack intensity weakened, they were bound to be able to break through.

"Haha, Yan Jun, but that's it, can you tie up the Donghu cavalry?"

Feng Shihu set up an ambush here, instead of choosing to be in the Stone Valley, in addition to the lack of time, he felt that there was no need to mobilize the nearly 40,000 cavalry under Tie Meng's hands, and he only needed to cut off his retreat and make it impossible for him to return to Donghu.

"General, not good!" At the beginning of the charge, a Donghu general quickly approached Tiemeng, marched head to head with him, and said in a low voice: "The cavalry pursuing behind has begun to come up, and we are surrounded." ”

"What, the other party is so fast." Tie Meng was startled, there was a tiger in front of him, and a hungry wolf chasing after him, and intuitively, the sky suddenly darkened.

"We didn't get rid of Yan Jun at all!"

"Charge, charge, lead the cavalry to rush through the front to block the attack, otherwise, everything is over." Tie Meng drank profusely, exhausted, these two days were simply the darkest days of his life.

At this moment, regardless of the terrain of the stone canyon, he led his troops to escape first.

It's gone, there's nothing, today to break through the siege and return to the camp in Xishan, it must be a capital crime that can be avoided, and a living crime is inescapable.

Hou Mingfeng, who caught up, was in high spirits with the whole army, looking at the besieged Donghu cavalry in front of him, the corners of his mouth chattered and laughed. "Stones, dogs, charge immediately, annihilate the Donghu cavalry, and capture Tiemeng alive."

"Yes!" When the stone was ordered, the blade warriors immediately set off, and 30,000 people, like a torrent, quickly attacked.

...

Yin Hong's sunset hung down the sky, and there was still a residual warm afterglow shining on the earth, but it still did not reduce the cold weather, and on the side of the stone canyon, the cavalry on both sides was murderous, diluting the cold temperature, forming an independent war world, and the murderous atmosphere in each world was monstrous.

Hou Mingfeng stood on the slope of the wilderness with his sword, Feng Shihu rode alone, staying in the direction of the stone canyon, the two of them were like two bystanders, looking at the current killing battlefield, watching the Donghu people fall quickly one after another, and a faint smile gradually appeared in their expressions.

Yanjing, the imperial city, is different from the dying situation of the old opponent, Lin Feng lived a happy life, in the next few days, the Yan dynasty was stable, and the occasional news from the north was also inconsequential and did not hurt the overall situation.

Murong Bowen was rescued, and finally with Linghu Zang, with 50,000 remnants of soldiers and more than 100,000 people, escorted by Li Kui, was rushing to the capital.

The meeting with the empress Lin Shuying was also finalized, and three days later, in Nanhu Lake, a border town between the two countries in Shaoliang County.

The Black Clothes Society of Yan Kingdom, the Iron Regiment, and the blade soldiers who rushed back overnight from the north have begun to secretly arrange, impose martial law, and investigate suspicious characters.

Most people's attention was diverted to the meeting between the two sides, and Situ, who was in charge of the implementation of the new policy, entered the palace with the "New Policy Theory" in his hand.

Lin Feng immediately summoned Situ and sat opposite each other in the warm pavilion, he knew that in the past few days, Situ, Wen Jishi, and Liu Chengfeng had drawn up an outline of Yan's new policy with reference to the laws and regulations of various countries, as well as their respective suggestions and opinions from all sides, combined with the national conditions of Yan.

The new policy theory contains six aspects, Lin Feng has seen it, and he must have put a lot of thought into it, adding and refining a lot of content, covering almost all aspects of the new policy.

First, the land policy, which stipulates the abolition of slavery in the Yan State, the liberation of the population, the expansion of cultivated land, the cultivators have their own land, the private sale of land is prohibited, land transactions must be carried out in accordance with the law, the government must participate, and both sides must have their own guarantors, which will be implemented in accordance with the law, so as to avoid excessive concentration of land in the hands of a few nobles.

In view of the different taxes in all walks of life, how much to collect and how to collect them, according to different industries, different taxes are collected, and in addition, the tax collection is also different for large businesses and small households, which is intended to protect small traders.

Third, the theory of military merit, in addition to stipulating the reward of meritorious deeds, the establishment of five titles of duke, earl, son and boy, but those who have made great contributions on the battlefield can not only get monetary rewards, and promotion as appropriate, but also set up five titles, disguised to improve the status of soldiers, however, the five titles are all fictitious, only symbolic status, no power to transfer troops.

Fourth, the law and law theory, improve the law, mainly including criminal law, litigation, and commercial law three areas, because this aspect involves a wide range, many trivial issues need to be careful and cautious, so, in this regard, Situ only proposed, what to do, but also according to the actual situation of Yan State.

Fifth, the monetary theory of measurement, all the measurements made by the Yan State were abolished, and according to the standards set by the imperial court, those who set up measurements privately were severely punished. A unified currency, divided into gold, silver, and copper coins, with a fixed exchange rate.

Sixth, the scientific examination policy, the state encourages scholars, regardless of their birth and status, to participate in the scientific examination, but the scholars, the court subsidizes every year, fifty taels of silver.

Lin Feng carefully read the outline of the new policy, and read it several times, during which he nodded frequently, things must be so reasonable and well-founded that the new policy can be implemented smoothly.

Knowing that Situ was cautious, he still didn't expect Situ to do things so well, and couldn't help but praise: "Situ, this thing is done beautifully, far beyond my expectations."

Next, you will promulgate the policy and implement it jointly with the six ministries, which must have an unexpected effect. By the way, Situ, you start to implement it today, but there is no need to rush in the implementation, and you must implement all the terms of the strategy. ”

Lin Feng didn't know about Shang Ying, when Wang Anshi changed the law, he involved so many aspects, today, he probably saw in Situ Ce's theory, Situ involved in the aspects, not only legislative orders, standardized systems, but also military merit and commerce, these two things, can improve the combat effectiveness of the Yan ** team, and can also increase the national tax, which can be described as the only way to enrich the country and strengthen the people.

As for the measurement and currency, the unification of the two will speed up the circulation of commodities, reduce unnecessary trouble, and also break the situation of different measures and currencies in various parts of the Yan Kingdom, so as to have a sense of belonging and recognition to the Yan Dynasty and strengthen the cohesion of various places.

At this moment, Lin Feng's expression was filled with an indescribable smile, and he flipped through the "New Policy Theory" again, and said with great interest: "Situ, this policy theory, every word is beautiful, every famous sentence, you can grasp it well, whether the great cause of Yan Country can succeed in one fell swoop, I will leave it to you, and I can't be sloppy." ”
