Chapter 229: He Fangxiong's Enlightenment (II)

"The reason for the cold lips and teeth is very simple, and the old man understands it. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info" He Fangxiong had a look of remorse on his face, "It's just that the old man woke up too late, these days the old man has figured out that the grievances of the four major families in Liaodong for hundreds of years, as well as being independent of the imperial court and only caring about the interests of their own clan in Liaodong, this situation cannot be maintained for a long time, and the rise of the Manshu clan is an example." ”

The rise of the Manshu tribe broke the delicate balance between the forces of various ethnic groups in Liaodong in the past, and it was not accidental that the strong wind began at the end of Qingping. The Liaodong region is different from the unique system of the two capitals and thirteen provinces in the interior of the Great Zhao Dynasty, which provides a hotbed for the rise of the Manshu people.

The relative independence of the Liaodong region played an important role in stabilizing the Northeast Frontier region at the beginning of the country, but after several generations of emperors, this unique system of autonomy in the Liaodong region was no longer appropriate.

The center of the imperial court could not integrate and utilize the rich military resources of Liaodong, and the military power of Liaodong was excessively dispersed, giving the barbarians an opportunity to rise.

For more than 200 years, the border of eastern Liaoning has been plagued frequently, which has exposed the fatal problems in eastern Liaodong. Fortunately, the border troubles that occurred in Liaodong in the past were all caused by some small tribes, and any slightly stronger force in Liaodong could quell the rebellion of these small tribes. The imperial court has always thought that the system in Liaodong is still reasonable, and has not seen the danger hidden in the depths under the victory.

It was not until the rise of the Manshu people that this crisis broke out completely, revealing the vulnerability of the Liaodong region.

It's a pity that the rise of the Manshu clan is too timely, the lowest point in the past three hundred years of the Great Zhao Empire, the unprecedented emptiness of the empire's national strength, and it is no longer capable of renovating Liaodong. The only thing the empire could do was to send heavy troops to the Liaodong region to make superficial repairs and quell the Manshu rebellion.

"Even so, then there is no need to send two battalions, the Xiao Cavalry Battalion and the Teng Leopard Battalion." He Mingye was still a little sad, "These two battalions are the last elite of the He clan, and the He clan can't afford to lose." ”

He Fangxiong disagreed with He Mingye's opinion: "If you raise soldiers, you will use them to fight, not to look good, Mingye, why are you more confused than me." ”

After He Fangxiong figured it out, he suddenly became enlightened, but He Mingye hadn't completely figured it out, and He Mingye's thoughts were still at the level before He Fangxiong figured it out. The ideological level of two people is naturally not at the same level.

He Fangxiong is now interested in whether the imperial court can survive this captivity, while He Mingye is concerned about the preservation of the strength of the He family. In He Mingye's view, in the troubled times of the jungle, if the He people want to survive, the only way to preserve enough strength is to keep enough strength.

"The Liao army that entered the customs is claimed to be 400,000." He Mingye said worriedly, "Avoiding war and self-protection is the norm of the Great Zhao Army, I am worried that Teng Xiao will suffer, Teng Leopard Battalion is an old battalion, and the combat effectiveness of Teng Leopard Battalion is undoubted, but the Xiao Cavalry Battalion is a grass creation, and eighty percent of the soldiers of the Xiao Cavalry Battalion are new pawns." ”

He Mingye was a little worried, although He Tengxiao's first cut and then play this time made him disgusted with He Tengxiao, but the soldiers under He Tengxiao's command were still the He family's private soldiers, and he didn't want the He family's military strength to suffer unnecessary losses.

"Mingye, you're too worried." He Fangxiong said with a smile, "Teng Xiao is shrewd, he can't suffer losses, when he was guarding Pingshan and fighting Phoenix City, when was Teng Xiao not outnumbered?" ”

He Fangxiong is not worried that He Tengxiao will suffer, and He Tengxiao is not the master of losses. He Fangxiong has never seen that person who made He Tengxiao suffer. So far, only He Tengxiao has taken advantage of others, and no one has taken advantage of He Tengxiao.

"New pawns need to fight even more, and new pawns who have not experienced the baptism of blood and fire will never grow into old pawns." He Fangxiong's eyes were deep and distant, "The He clan can't exist alone, they can't be alone, they can't do it alone, what they should do is still what they have to do." ”

――――――――

The invasion of the Liao army brought great damage to Beizhili, and there were few battles at the feet of the Son of Heaven, but now, the entire northern area of Beizhili, where the Liao army could reach, was full of devastation.

The Bukzhili region, which was originally prosperous, and the Suncheonfu area, the land of Gyeonggi, even had a desolate scene of hundreds of miles of uninhabited people that was only available in the last days.

The Qin army followed the road they had left the customs a year earlier and passed through Haimen Pass and arrived in the territory of Yongping Mansion, and after arriving at Yongping Mansion, the Qin army continued to march rapidly without resting. Their goal was Jingshi City, which was now in jeopardy, and there was no time left for them to rest.

The fighting has not yet reached Yongping Province, and the situation in Yongping Province is quite normal. In addition to the large number of soldiers and civilians who have taken refuge in Yongping Mansion, you are the same as the Yongping Mansion that Peng Chaodong has seen since he left the customs more than a year ago.

After passing through Yeongpyeongfu and arriving at the territory of Suncheonfu, the situation is different. The Shuntian Mansion that greeted Peng Chaodong's eyes made Peng Chaodong feel unfamiliar.

The war destroyed Shuntianfu beyond recognition, the passing cities were full of rubble, and the cities that the Liao army passed through were slaughtered and burned after being plundered by the Liao army. The charred corpses filled the air with an unpleasant, disgusting stench of burning.

"The Liao army is a fucking brute!" Peng Yuqian smashed his fist into a tree on the side of the road.

The city they are passing through now is Sanhe City, and Sanhe City is the city that Wanyan Shengcong has passed through that has suffered the most fierce resistance from the Zhao army.

Under this city, the Liao army lost more than 1,000 soldiers and lost two Liao army leaders. Wanyan Shengcong became angry because of this, and after breaking through Three Rivers City, he carried out a terrible massacre of the soldiers and civilians of Three Rivers City. None of the soldiers and civilians of Trois-Rivières remained.

All this in front of him is naturally the masterpiece of the Liao army for ten years.

Peng Yuqian didn't feel pain when he smashed it on the rough bark, and his anger was already an existence that he couldn't feel pain.

On the opposite side of a tree hung the corpses of several months-old babies, which had not yet decomposed and had maggots, but were frozen and stiff because it was winter.

Under this tree, the corpse of a woman with more than a dozen white flowers was exposed, and the corpse was disheveled, and it was conceivable what the Liao army had done in this city.

All this in front of him deeply touched Peng Chaodong, Peng Chaodong ignored the loss of etiquette, and two lines of old tears rolled down his ravine-horizontal face.

Peng Chaodong was the governor of Liaodong, and the Liao army was the main enemy he had to deal with. The Liao army actually escaped Peng Chaodong's sight and entered the customs in a grand manner. Peng Chaodong has a lot of responsibility.

Since the moment of the defeat of the peace with Meng Gu, Peng Chaodong's career has faded, and his greatest and last hope in his lifetime is to defeat the Liao army and avoid this powerful neighbor rising in the northeast from posing a threat to the empire.

And now, instead of solving this strong neighbor, Peng Chaodong is getting stronger and stronger. It has even turned its minions into the heart of the empire, the land of Gyeonggi. (To be continued.) )
