The viciousness of economic sanctions is like a fist of seven wounds, first hurting oneself and then others. And its effect will not be visible for a while, and by the time others find out, perhaps the domestic economy is already on the verge of collapse.
In fact, Wang Hui, the king of Goryeo, can also be regarded as a generation of Ming monarchs, and his strategy of abandoning obedience and pro-Liao can be said to be very accurate. Because at this time, the real enemy of Dashun is Da Liao, and he is also at war. It is impossible for Dashun to fight on both sides for the sake of a small Goryeo state. If Dashun does this, he will drag himself to death in the mud of war. At that time, Goryeo may be able to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie and justifiably set foot on the long-coveted Liaodong. After gaining a firm foothold, and after some operation, Liaodong can be incorporated into the territory of Goryeo. Taking 10,000 steps back, even if the Liao State did not accept their proposal to change the suzerain, it could use these five carts of gold and silver treasures and silk silk to curry favor with those Khitans and make them no longer harass the border of Goryeo.
This wishful thinking is a very loud plan, and it is a plan to kill two birds with one stone. If there was no Lu Chengqi, even if he could see through their tricks, he would not be able to crack it. It's a pity that they met Lu Chengqi, a soul who originally didn't belong to this time and space, and their wishful thinking was destined to fail.
Lu Chengqi sacrificed the two magic weapons of public opinion and economic sanctions, slapped back the two slaps of Goryeo twice, and told them that these inferior sticks are never easy to mess with!
It's just that this method will not be able to show up for a while, but it is a pity. Without the pleasure of immediate revenge, Lu Chengqi still felt that he couldn't swallow a breath, and he secretly swore that if one day after destroying the Khitans, the first thing would be to exterminate this despicable nation, which would be too disgusting. Even if it can't be destroyed, it must be isolated and assimilated, so that the Korean Peninsula will become a state capital of the Dashun Dynasty!
At this moment, under the city of Youzhou, thousands of miles away, the Khitan army led by Yelu Chongyuan still did not retreat. The Khitan army, which had experienced a serious infighting, had fallen to the bottom in morale. Yelu Chongyuan no longer knew the soldiers, and he knew that he must not attack recklessly now. Otherwise, it's easy to be self-defeating.
It's just that the division mobilized the crowd to attack Dashun, but it ended in a tiger's end, how did the class master face his political enemies after he went back? Wouldn't he be laughed off by Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of the Northern Mansion, the same acquaintance of the Northern Courtyard, and the deputy privy envoy Yelu Yixin?
As a result, Yelu Chongyuan retreated and couldn't retreat, and he couldn't attack, so he fell into the dilemma of riding a tiger.
Yelu Chongyuan, who was at a loss, finally remembered Xiao Fenglai, who was still a talent in his army. Although he is the man of Yeluhonki's boy, if no one is available, it is better to listen to his opinion, as long as he does not lead the army, then it will be fine.
"Now the plan is the only way to do it...... Yelu Chongyuan, who had nothing to do, asked his soldiers to find Xiao Feng, and after taking the throne, he began to ask the plan: "General Xiao, I have offended a lot before. Now that the enemy is present, you and I are both Khitans, so don't fight inwardly. I invited you over today to discuss with you how to capture Youzhou City. ”
Although Xiao Feng is loyal to Yelu Hongji, he is also a Khitan, and he doesn't want Khitan soldiers to be consumed in endless siege battles. He said slowly: "In the opinion of the last general, the high walls of Youzhou City are thick, and it is difficult to capture it in a hurry. The last general had heard the siege soldiers say that the gates of the urn city of Youzhou City were blocked with sand and stones. Presumably, they are determined to defend the city to the death, in this case, even if there are 200,000 troops, they will not be able to capture this Youzhou city for a while......"
When Yelu Chongyuan heard this, his face was angry, but he was suddenly deflated again, he knew that Xiao Feng was telling the truth. Now that Dashun has managed the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun like an iron bucket, even if there are more than 200,000 troops, the Khitans who are not good at attacking cities may not be able to defeat them.
After Yelu Chongyuan suppressed his anger, he continued Xiao Feng to say, "...... In that case, we shouldn't be wasting time here. The border troops of Youzhou City did not dare to come out to fight us in a decisive battle in the field, so we took the initiative to look for fighters. The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun are so big, and there is more than one place in Youzhou City. Even if the other fifteen states, every city is so difficult to fight, we can still carry out sneak attack tactics. It's just that surrounded by the Great Wall, it is difficult to cross the Great Wall. If it weren't for the poor finances of Dashun before, the Great Wall could not be repaired, and it collapsed in many places, and our army would not have gone straight down to Youzhou City. The last general's strategy was simple, we scattered the cavalry and put pressure on the other fifteen states to force them to come out for a decisive battle. At the same time, fight grass valleys all over the clouds to maintain the consumption of military rations......"
Xiao Feng's plan, to put it bluntly, is to break the whole into pieces and harass the sixteen states of Youyun. The cavalry of the Khitan people is very good at fighting grass valleys, even if there are only more than ten horsemen, they dare to face a thousand infantry, and if they can't beat it, they will run. In this way, there is no big loss, but it may be very rewarding.
After hearing this, Yelu Chongyuan had a little doubt and said: "If the border army in Youzhou City comes out to fight us, and we have no cavalry, what should we do?" ”
Xiao Feng said: "Since the northwest tribes are dissatisfied with our Khitan tribe, let's send them out." Our Khitan cavalry is still stationed here, waiting for the Dashun army to be harassed and unbearable, and will come out for a decisive battle by itself. ”
Yelu Chongyuan thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was feasible. After all, Xiao Feng is a talent who understands military affairs, and his strategy is different, and he hits the nail on the head. It's just that he didn't expect that there was also a Dashun forbidden army, hidden not far from them.
Last year, Xiao Xulie, the prime minister of Beifu, came to the Youyun border to plunder, and he had almost captured the Han people. Yunzhou, Ruzhou, Fuzhou, Wuzhou, Xinzhou, Ulzhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, Shuozhou are okay with the protection of the Great Wall, Youzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Danzhou, and Shunzhou collapsed in many places of the Great Wall, and the border people were almost taken captive, a large area of fertile land was abandoned, and after the border army grabbed the remaining grain, there are still most of the fertile fields overgrown with weeds.
Xiao Feng's plan might have worked well before that grand attack on the Grass Valley, but now that the border people of Dashun are ten rooms and nine empty, I am afraid that it will not have any effect. If you want to blame Yelu Chongyuan, without waiting for the border people of Dashun to recover, they hurriedly waved their troops south, trying to make a splash, but they hit the iron plate......
The border people who narrowly escaped the last Khitan invasion did not dare to stay outside the city at the moment. Hearing that the Khitans were about to invade again, they preferred to abandon their fields and enter the city to seek refuge. After all, Lu Chengqi was reluctant to let these border people go, so he had already sent the household department to prepare enough food and clothes. Even if the city was besieged for three months, they were not afraid of running out of food.
