Chapter 173 Governing a big country is like cooking a small fresh
In the Black Flag Pass, after the banquet, Liu Xuanyuan and the four of them were still discussing the military situation, and everyone agreed that Tiemeng's spirit had been lost, but he would not easily lead the army away.
Xishan Borshu is extremely strong, Tie Meng took refuge, did not make an inch, lost the army, returned defeated, and was punished, so most of the night will launch a night attack, taking the opportunity to attack the Black Flag Pass.
There were four people present, three of whom were familiar with Tiemeng's character, this person was arrogant and arrogant, no one in his eyes, he was a fierce general, but he led the troops to fight and led an army alone, but it was difficult to take on a big responsibility.
Tonight's desperate move will eventually lead to a place of no return.
However, Tiemeng finally had 100,000 cavalry, including 50,000 Donghu cavalry, but it was much more powerful than the Rong cavalry.
If the Black Flag Pass is not fully prepared and attacks at night, I am afraid that it will not gain the upper hand, but on the contrary, it is very likely to be at a disadvantage, allowing Tiemeng to regain the initiative in the war.
However, everyone had expected that Tie Meng would not give up and take risks, and he would not let his treacherous plan succeed.
At the third watch, the moon was dark and the wind was high, and he couldn't see his five fingers, and in the dark, Tie Meng showed a hideous face, drew out his scimitar, and pointed to the Black Flag Pass.
Suddenly, the horse's hooves rolled, and the sound of rumbling broke the silence of the night, and for a while, the Black Flag Pass was noisy.
Tiemeng really took advantage of the night to attack, and the army quickly launched an attack on the Black Flag Pass along the mountain pass, but Tiemeng found that when he led 100,000 cavalry, when attacking the city, there were only 50,000 Donghu cavalry left in his hands, and there were only a few cronies.
The warriors of the Rong tribe who had worked together with him all disappeared under the black night sky.
Flee from battle. Unintentionally giving Tiemeng a heavy blow, when the Donghu cavalry attacked the col and rushed in front of the checkpoint. The black flag was closed, and countless torches suddenly rose, and on the peaks on both sides, in the scorching cold wind, there was a sound of Yan people shouting to kill.
Rain of arrows, boulders, rolling logs. Qi Qi from the juncture, on the mountain peaks on the left and right, attacked down.
Night Raid. Anti-ambushed!
Perhaps, Tiemeng is destined to be unlucky tonight, Liu Xuanyuan and the others expected him to attack Black Flag Pass in advance. Get ready. Wait for him to take the initiative to throw himself into the net.
On the other side, Hou Mingfeng and Feng Shihu led more than 100,000 cavalry, including blade soldiers, and when the battle began, they all came to Black Flag Pass.
The troops under the command of the two Fenghou are by no means comparable to the troops under Liu Xuanyuan's hands, not to mention. Before coming, Lin Feng gave three orders. Be sure to capture Tiemon alive.
The battle lasted from midnight to dawn, and under the personal command of Liu Xuanyuan, Tiemeng lost his troops and generals, but he did not achieve an inch.
The night attack failed, and when he was ambushed, Tie Meng should have led his troops to leave, but unfortunately he was unwilling, and he couldn't give advice to Borshu when he returned to Xishan, so he could only have a trace of luck.
It was dawn, and the victory or defeat of the two sides involved in the battle was obvious. The Yan army attacked with defense, and the losses were very small, but Tiemeng left 10,000 corpses, and led his troops to the west.
"General Liu, why didn't the two generals Feng Hou participate in the battle to defend the city?" Half a night of defense, and for several days of trembling, all his thoughts on defending the Tiemeng troops, Ling Huzang will be very tired, with a tired face, looking at the black flag off, Feng Hou and the two who stepped on the war horse, puzzled, asked Liu Xuanyuan.
With many years of experience in leading troops, he could see at a glance that the cavalry, combat effectiveness and equipment of Feng Hou and his two men were better than the Black Flag Pass defenders and Rong troops.
"Whoa!" Liu Xuanyuan stood at the juncture, looked at the two Feng Hou who were killed by the fish intestines, and said with a smile: "The emperor has an order to capture Tiemeng alive and return to Beijing, so., furthermore, the troops under the command of the two generals have long been used to the wilderness on the grassland, and they are not good at defending the city, attacking the city and plundering the land, and fighting in large corps, which is what the two generals are good at. ”
"However, Tiemeng still has nearly 40,000 cavalry in his hands, and I think the two generals are only going out of the pass with 30,000 cavalry, and some of the teams are still staying in the pass, is it too light for the enemy? After all, Tiemeng is also a ruthless stubble who can fight well, and there are 40,000 Donghu cavalry under his hands. Linghu Zang said with a worried face.
Tie Meng betrayed the Rong tribe, but also led foreign enemies to attack the tribe, the Rong people were eager to eat him, but unfortunately there was no chance, no ability, Feng Hou and the two led troops to pursue, so that Hu Zang was not optimistic, but in his heart he hoped that the two could capture Tie Meng alive, and when the time came, he personally crushed his bones and ashes to relieve the hatred in his heart.
"Tiemeng has such a scheming, he won't come to Black Flag Pass tonight."
.....。
Yanjing, the Imperial Palace.
In the early morning of the next day, the sky was slightly bright, Lin Feng got up early, practiced outside Yunyao Palace, and slowly walked to the Jinluan Palace, ready to go to court.
At this time, An Heng came in quickly from outside, holding a letter in his hand, and hurriedly came to Lin Feng, saying, "Your Majesty, the Black Flag Pass is urgent!" ”
Lin Feng flicked his legs, twisted his waist, moved his muscles and bones, opened the letter, Liu Xuanyuan wrote it himself, and it was clearly written, the cavalry of the Black Flag Pass, Li Kui was three hundred miles outside the pass, and rescued Murong Bowen and Linghu Zang, 50,000 remnants, and 70,000 or 80,000 people.
Ambushed more than 40,000 cavalry on the other side and thwarted the Tiemeng conspiracy, the two sides are currently fighting, but Borshu sent 50,000 cavalry to Tiemeng, which seems to have the intention of attacking the Black Flag Pass.
The content of the letter is also good news, Lin Feng is still angry, and scolds secretly: This bastard.
Immediately crumpled the letter in his hand, Lin Feng was not angry, the trip to Donghu made Borshu and Antila turn against each other, and there was no need to worry about it, who knew that Borshu and Yan Guo were more energetic.
Do you have to let yourself teach him a hard lesson before you give up?
Before the end of the year, Lin Feng didn't want to use the sword soldiers, but the Bol technique was too deceitful.
Fortunately, he understood the truth from beginning to end, so he sent Feng Hou and the two to go on the expedition, if they did not send troops to target, the other party would treat Yan Guo as a soft persimmon, once, twice, and the Black Flag Pass would not be peaceful.
This time, Feng Hou and the others, leading the blade warriors and the elite cavalry under his command, did not disappoint his expectations.
Putting away the letter and sitting on the dragon chariot, Lin Feng walked towards the court.
At present, it seems that this winter, it is impossible to stop, and internal and external troubles are enough to make him busy.
Early today, because the implementation of the new policy yesterday has been decided, Lin Feng issued an order to prepare for in-depth changes in response to the shortcomings of Yan State.
Communicating with the heads of the six departments and Lin Xiao in advance is that he doesn't want more controversy in the court.
What's more, Borshu ordered Tiemeng to prepare to attack the Black Flag Pass, if he did not implement the new policy and did not strive to be strong, he would still be in a passive situation.
Stepping on the Jinluan Palace, An Heng announced that the ministers had entered the court and met the emperor, and after that, the civil and military officials took the initiative to line up in four columns, and the civil and military generals were in two columns on the left and right, but they were also distinct.
The civil officials are headed by Situ, and the civil ministers who are side by side with him are the scholars of the Ministry of War, followed by Yu Zheming, the secretary of the Ministry of Households, Liu Xuanyuan, the secretary of the Criminal Department, Li Mengchang, the secretary of the Ministry of Rites, and Zhao Shide, the secretary of the Ministry of Industry. and three attendants in each department, about 20 people.
For the position of military generals, the chief two are Lin Xiao, the marquis of Dingguo, Lei Jieying, the commander of the Praetorian Guard, and several unnamed young generals.
It can also be seen that there is a lack of talents in the Yan Kingdom, but Tuoba Yu, who rushed back from Bishan, is also in the ranks of military generals, and his status is still slightly ahead.
Above the court, there are less than 50 civil and military officials combined. However, everyone in the DPRK and China knows that there are still only a few core figures in the empire, and the rest of the people just need to do their own practical work.
It's just that Lin Feng doesn't see it that way today, the officials of Yan State are not abundant, many people wear multiple positions, and many institutions have been formed, but the relevant personnel have not been able to take place for a long time, which is a disadvantage.
"Meet the Emperor!"
Lin Feng sat in the right position and waved his hand:
"Zhongqing's body—"
"Emperor Xie..."
The Minister of Civil and Military Affairs, divided into two sides, stood firm, Lin Feng was not verbose, and said straight to the point: "Today's early dynasty, only two things are discussed, first, the new policy of Yan State will continue to be implemented, from now on, it will begin to gradually deepen, refine, abolish slavery, liberate the population, land reform, the cultivator has his land, unify the measurement, currency, etc.
After two years of implementation of the new policy, Yan has made long-term progress in terms of economy, military, and people's lives, but these are not enough. Today, the new policy is further deepened and refined, in order to better consolidate the achievements of Yan Guo today, and make the overall national strength of Yan Guo to a higher level. ”
Lin Feng continued: "Governing a big country is like cooking small fresh, neither too salty nor too light, you have to adjust the ingredients. Governing the country is like cooking, we can neither rush or slacken, only when it is just right, can we do things well. According to the old system of Yan, Yan almost caused the disaster of destroying the country, and the dross must be completely eradicated. The Warring States Period is approaching, and looking at the surrounding princes, the one that is not as strong as the Yan Kingdom, if you want to survive in the cracks, you must endure what ordinary people can't bear, and suffer from ordinary people.
Yan country is surrounded by powerful countries, only the current achievements, it is not enough to survive and steal life, not to mention the competition for hegemony, natural selection of the fittest, Yan country has followed the old system for hundreds of years, has no longer adapted to the current environment, if not deepened in time, the new deal, the change stops here, I am afraid that the achievements in the past two years will be in vain, you Aiqing said, when the original life and death were at stake, Yan should not implement reform, should not be rich and strong people! ”
Lin Feng's words are conclusive, most of the people in the court agree with his statement, two years after the promulgation of the new policy, the changes in Yan Kingdom, everyone sees it in their eyes and remembers it in their hearts.
However, Lin Feng's sentence that the abolition of slavery and the cultivators have their fields made many old people in the court, especially those with power in the Yan Kingdom, feel heavy.
These two things, with the abolition of the aristocracy, the establishment of the military merit system, and the imperial examination system are unintentional, all of which are to deprive the old nobles of their privileges, if the clansmen cannot adapt in time, hundreds of years of good life will come to an end.
However, some people oppose it, and naturally some people praise it, those who have been promoted by the imperial examination because of their military merits naturally support the continued deepening of the new policy, and only by continuing to break the old framework and establish a new framework will the Yan State continue to develop in a good direction.
