Chapter 676: Yanmen Pass
In Yushe City, although some shops on the street have been opened, most of them are still closed, because most of these shops are owned by the rich and powerful in Yushe City, these rich and powerful families have been killed by Li Qiao, and they are the kind that are all over the house, the blood on the entrance of the vegetable market has not been cleaned, and the heads of hundreds of people hanging on the city wall are still dripping blood, which seems to indicate that the new guards of Yushe are different from ordinary people.

"General Li, the battle report has been written, should it be sent to the general?" The military officer looked at the man in front of him with some fear, his face was calm, sitting there, like an iceberg, but he was holding a book in his hand, but he looked out of place, as if he was a scholar, but no one thought that the middle-aged man in front of him dug people's graves, washed the elm society in blood, and exterminated his family, and in his hands, he didn't know how many people died.
"General Li, do you really want to write like this?" Yang Xiong said with some concern.
"What if you don't write like that? The war situation is what it is, and I will deal with it as I do after the war, even if the general is to blame, I will bear it alone. Li Qiao said indifferently: "We only need to march and fight, as for how to govern the place, that is the matter of the general, and it has nothing to do with us." ”
"I'm afraid that those scholars around the general will have different opinions." Yang Xiong smiled bitterly. He didn't know what the general's opinion would be, but he knew that those scholars around Li Jing would definitely oppose it, after all, after killing so many people, it would be impossible for the scholars around Li Jing to have no other reaction.
"In troubled times, we should stop killing by killing. The general understands this truth, those powerful clans and the generals are not of the same mind, the general's follow is on the people, these powerful clans are attached to the people, absorbing the blood of the people, look, they let Fang Xuedu in, and then betrayed Fang Xuedu, we are the same, now they are attached to us, and the next time the enemy attacks, they will also betray us. An edict from the imperial court can make these people become the minions of the imperial court, what are such people doing in the world? ”
The dirt between Li Jing and the imperial court, as Li Jing's subordinates, knows it, and because of this, Li Qiao said this, the reason why these powerful clans received Tian Hu's army into the city, in the final analysis, is not because of the imperial court, since this is the case, it is better to kill them all, so as not to have any moths in the imperial court in the future.
Yang Xiong was silent when he heard this, of course he was clear about the problem, but Li Qiao killed too many people, and it was not necessarily a good way, which would have a bad impact on the Northern Army.
"If I kill too much, the enemy will naturally be afraid, and he won't block my way." Li Qiao put down the Shangshu in his hand and said to Yang Xiong: "Rectify the soldiers and horses, and in three days, we will send troops to attack Liaoshan." After I destroy Liaoshan, I will see who else dares to accept Tian Hu's army into the city. These people are like this, don't beat them up, they don't know how powerful my northern army is. ”
"Yes." Yang Xiong shuddered, and there was a hint of pity in his eyes.
Yanmen Pass, known as "the world's nine stops, Yanmen as the head", and Ningwu Pass, partial pass together called "outer three passes", in the early years of the Great Song Dynasty, Yanmen Pass is also one of the main battlefields of the Great Song Dynasty and the Liao State, the most famous of which is probably the Yang general, and later was compiled into various novels by the world, which have been passed down through the ages. However, now the eternal Xiongguan has fallen into the hands of Li Jing.
The border army of the Song Dynasty, although the military discipline is relatively deserted, but I have to say that the battle on the battlefield is still very powerful, of course, this is talking about the Western Army, the tens of thousands of troops stationed in Yanmen Pass are not among them, in the final analysis, or since the Tanyuan Alliance, the relationship between Song and Liao has eased, Yanmen Pass is still a fortress through the ages, and the imperial court is much worse in terms of the size of the garrison or the degree of attention. In this way, no matter how strong the army is, it will not be able to withstand the wear and tear of the years, and it is normal for it to become a weak brigade.
Li Jing blocked the grain and grass of Yanmen, after three months of confrontation, Jiao Liang of Yanmen Pass finally put down his weapons and surrendered to Li Jing, Li Jing then led the Guards and the Dingqiang Army to inspect Yanmen Pass, accompanied by Pu Suwan and other cadres.
"It's really a tyrannical thing to fall into the hands of your Great Song Dynasty like this." Standing on the Yanmen Pass, Pu Suwan's face is not good-looking, the opposite of the Yanmen Pass is the territory of the Liao State, and she, the county lord of the Liao State, can only look at her motherland on the enemy's pass, and the taste in her heart is needless to say.
"If Yanmen Pass falls into your hands, then the fight between Song and Liao will probably continue to this day, the Great Song Dynasty is famous for defending the city, how can it let a fortress like Yanmen Pass fall into the hands of Liao, and the people of the two countries will also suffer a hundred years of fighting." Li Jing shook his head and said. Such a dangerous pass as Yanmen Pass was originally intended to defend against the grassland peoples, and if it fell into the hands of the grassland peoples, it would be a disaster. When Li Jing came, he once looked at the situation around Yanmen Pass, the east and west mountains are steep and rocky, there is a small road in the middle, and a pass has been built on the top of the mountain, no matter which aspect of the attack, it is very difficult, and only Li Jing seized the grain and grass of Yanmen Pass, and blocked it, so that Jiao Liang did not dare to be presumptuous. Otherwise, if it is attacked, Li Jing's expedition to the north will lose a lot.
Pu Suwan listened silently, she naturally knew the importance of Yanmen Pass, but she knew even more that the good days of the tribes around Yanmen Pass were probably coming to an end, Li Jing occupied Yanmen Pass, not to consolidate his Hedong Road, but to seize Yunzhou on the opposite side, in the next few years Li Jing will send troops to constantly attack Yunzhou, but unfortunately, now the main forces of Liao are placed in the east, to deal with the Jin army, Yunzhou does not have many soldiers and horses.
In fact, the soldiers and horses of the Liao State in Yunzhou on the other side have gradually declined after more than 100 years of strength, and the military discipline has been lax and corrupted.
It is hard to imagine how the weak Liao army could resist the attack of the Northern Army after a tiger and wolf army like Li Jing broke into Yunzhou. Thinking of this, Pu Suwan felt even more chilling.
"Do you have a lot of business trips that pass through here every day?" Li Jing looked at Jiao Liang on the side and said. Jiao Liang is obese, with a horizontal face, he doesn't look like a military general at all, but a businessman, at this time, he is standing aside with a look of fear, among the generals of the Northern Army, his body shape is even more strange.
"Back to the general's words, there used to be a lot, but now there are few. Especially in recent months. Jiao Liang said in a low voice. He said that in recent months, his voice has become even lower, and in recent months, Li Jing has blocked the area around Yanmen Pass, and few people have passed through Yanmen Pass except for some businessmen who have taken the trail.
"In the future, you can let go of the merchants and let them enter and leave here, but you have to collect taxes, the Song people can collect less, and the Liao people can collect some heavy taxes." Li Jing said with a smile, how can such an important passage be wasted, even if you can't attack Yunzhou now, you must prepare for the recovery of Yunzhou.
