Chapter 869: The Flames of War Begins (Second Watch)

Lin Xiaobao cheered himself on, wanting to be a firm "loyal minister".

On the other hand, he listened to the tone and sought a second way.

Yan Yunge shook his head again and again.

Her expression was disappointed, "The grass on both sides of the wall is down, there is no position to speak of, at this time, there is a possibility of death at any time!" ”

"Madame, don't scare me."

"Do you think I'm scaring you? If you don't believe Mrs. Ben, you can leave the journey back to Beiliang now, tell Liu Baoshun what you have seen and heard, and everything you have guessed, and be a true loyal minister. If one day, the mountains and rivers of the Northern Liang Dynasty are broken, I hope you can always be firm and consistent and accompany the funeral of the Liu family. ”

"I don't want to be buried!" He roared with all his might, "I don't want to die! ”

"If you don't want to die, just sit down and listen to my arrangement."

Yan Yunge reminded him not to go crazy.

Lin Xiaobao trembled, hesitated, half-pushed, and finally sat down quietly.

"Mrs. Ben doesn't need you to do anything for the time being. You go back to Beiliang and continue to work by Liu Baoshun's side to do things for him. If necessary, Mrs. Ben will send someone to contact you and tell you what to do. I hope you don't disappoint Mrs. Ben. The people who let me down usually don't live long. ”

Lin Xiaobao rekindled hope, "Madame won't let me do things, this is ...... Madame so nice? ”

"I'm good, can't I?"

"Okay, okay, of course. As long as Madame doesn't embarrass me too much, I will definitely work for Madame. ”

"Then let's talk about the generals in Beiliang, Mrs. Ben is very interested in them."

"I wonder which military general Madame wants to know? I am basically familiar with the famous generals of Beiliang. ”

It was a pleasant conversation, each taking what he wanted.

Yan Yunge got the information he wanted, and Lin Xiaobao also got a chance to live, as well as a guarantee of the future.

What a win-win!

As for the grain, of course, not a single grain is given.

……

December.

In Beiliang, three days of heavy snow crushed the last bit of hope in the hearts of many people.

Really, there was no hope at all.

Heavy snow has closed mountains and roads, and although it has temporarily solved the problem of water sources, it has added more and more difficult problems.

Houses collapsed, and there were not enough cotton clothes to protect against the cold in the bitter cold.

The victims were homeless, had no food to eat, and no cotton clothes to protect themselves from the cold.

Either freeze and starve to death, or rise up, or maybe there is a glimmer of life.

Some people choose to wait for death, waiting for the government to open a warehouse and release grain, waiting for a miracle.

Some people go up the mountain and fall into the grass for a bite.

The mountain bandits and thieves took advantage of the opportunity of the heavy snow blocking the road and the government being unable to go to the countryside, so they took the opportunity to come out to participate in activities, invite people's hearts, and strengthen themselves.

In the city, there are also people with ulterior motives who are active.

This powder keg is getting bigger and bigger, and more and more gunpowder is being buried.

I don't know when, bang, it's going to blow everyone up.

Yan Yunge can endure loneliness, she is still waiting.

She is waiting for Liu Baoshun's reaction and waiting for the follow-up.

The spies were exhausted, and the road was clear, just to ensure that the news could reach her in the shortest possible time.

To this end, she moved to live in the North Docks.

Across the river, is the North Beam.

On the other side, because of the river's proximity, the disaster was not serious.

However, because it is close to Yan Yunge's territory, the border army is heavily guarded.

The fertile land along the river has long been occupied by the Northern Liang border army, and tenants are hired to cultivate it.

Every day, there were ships coming from the other side, bringing all the news that Yan Yunge needed.

The killing started by Liu Baoshun is still continuing, and there are signs of expansion.

Some people take the opportunity to declare personal vendettas, fabricate charges, frame enemies, and seize benefits.

The Northern Liang court, smoky and miasma, is arguing every day about who is guilty and who deserves to die.

Liu Baoshun did not stop it, but was happy to see it, as if he wished that the family would eat the dog and cheapen him to be the emperor.

As everyone knows, there are two sides to everything.

Didn't he expect to be counterattacked?

The people's grievances are boiling!

The originally monolithic family was divided and disintegrated and divided into various factions.

They hate each other and attack each other.

There are also families who unite and secretly rebel against Liu Baoshun's rule.

Since the Liu father and son became emperors, the Northland family has simply suffered a lot.

The harshness of Liu's father and son's methods is unmatched.

What Sima Dou, what Xiao Chengye, in terms of means, is not worthy of lifting shoes for their father and son.

What is the use of such a murderous emperor, it is better to rebel and overthrow the Liu family.

……

In the sixth year of the Northern Liang Dynasty, on the night of the Chinese New Year's Eve, a fire burned in the imperial city.

The fire is raging, and there is a momentum that is out of control.

In the imperial city, the people panicked, and the government urgently activated the state of suspension from vacation.

The officials were dispatched, the Imperial City Division was dispatched, and the embroidered clothes guards were dispatched......

The fire burned all night until the morning of the first day of the seventh year of the first month, when it was extinguished.

The fire affected more than 100 houses and destroyed several streets.

Liu Baoshun was furious and ordered the Imperial City Division to investigate thoroughly, no matter who was involved, there would be no forgiveness.

The Imperial City Division once again poured out its nest.

In the first month of the seventh year of Taichu, the imperial city of Beiliang was rumored and the storm was coming.

On the eighth day of the first lunar month, Xiao Yi personally led the troops, crossed the border line, and invaded the territory of Beiliang.

This Northern Expedition, which has been prepared for many years, has begun!

On the twentieth day of the first month, the soldiers and horses of Youzhou crossed the border, and the prince Yanyun led the troops south and entered the territory of Beiliang.

Inside Beiliang, the ice and snow have not yet melted, and the mountain bandits and thieves have begun to go out, killing, looting and fleeing......

Some families took the opportunity to openly raise the banner to rebel, claiming to be a righteous teacher, and wanted to overthrow the Liu family.

Liu Baoshun's situation at the moment is like being abandoned by heaven......

It seems that even God has given up on him.

It's like a rat crossing the street, everyone shouts and beats.

Of course, Liu Baoshun was unwilling.

The Northern Liang soldiers and horses were strong and had the strength to fight.

Especially the army based on Liangzhou soldiers and horses, even if it has been free for a few years, its combat effectiveness has basically maintained eighty percent.

There are about eighty percent of the combat effectiveness of the soldiers and horses in Liangzhou back then, which is enough to sweep the world.

The mountain bandits and thieves are all a group of local chickens and dogs, and when they encounter the regular army of Northern Liang, they either die, flee or surrender, and they can't even support a round.

The family relied on the private army and built fortifications, which could barely be supported.

However, as long as there is enough time, the regular army of the Northern Liang can still break down the resistance of the family.

Only the soldiers and horses led by Xiao Yi, as well as the Youzhou soldiers and horses led by Yan Yuntong, can fight field battles, positional battles, and contact battles face-to-face with the regular army of Northern Liang......

These three parties are evenly matched opponents, and everyone regards each other as a big problem.

When the battle started, no one could just shout to stop, not even Yan Yunge.

Fight for combat effectiveness, ordnance, the number of soldiers and horses, food and grass, talent, money, and even luck......

For this Northern Expedition, Yan Yunge did not hesitate to press all the hole cards, and pressed so many years of accumulation, just to settle the country in one battle.

The war is raging in the north, and God continues to add to the chaos.

As the drought continues, more and more small people are forced to bankrupt and displaced.

The mountain bandits in Beiliang have killed a group of thieves, and it won't be long before a second batch will emerge.

There is no end to the killing.

These rebels are all rabble, so there is nothing to worry about, but they still drag down the regular army of Northern Liang.

made them retreat in the face of Xiao Yat's soldiers and horses on the frontal battlefield.

……

"Rubbish! It's all a bunch of rubbish! ”

On the frontal battlefield, the war is unfavorable, and it is related to the survival of the country, Liu Baoshun is so angry that the corners of his mouth are cannons, he can't eat and sleep well every day, and his anger is getting bigger and bigger.

If you don't agree with each other, you will be scolded and scolded angrily, and you will kill people to vent your anger.

"I tell you, if the Great Liang dies, no one will want to run. One counts as one, and I want you all to be buried together. ”

"Your Majesty is angry! It is better to assign tasks and order officials to raise food and grass, which may solve the urgent need. Those victims, as long as they have a bite to eat, will not take the risk to rebel. ”

Boom!

Liu Baoshun punched the table, "I don't know, the victims only need a bite to eat to stabilize."

However, among the officials in the DPRK and the families of the world, who is willing to give the victims a bite to eat?

The indifference of the family, I can see it. Do you think that if the country falls, it will fall, and if the emperor is changed, he can continue to be an official.

It's nothing more than a change of master to serve. I'm going to tell everybody, delusional! Life is the official of my beam, and death can only be the ghost of my beam. ”

No one wants to be the king of a dead country.

But......

If he is destined to be the king of the dead country, he will definitely bring everyone to the funeral.

In that year, he withdrew at a critical moment, causing the Wuheng royal court to break through the defense line and enter the capital, destroying half of the Great Wei Dynasty.

Today, he can also let the entire Beiliang accompany him to the funeral.

Yan Yunge wanted to be the first female emperor in the north, but he didn't want her to be happy.

He wanted to leave her a blank land, a blank space where there were no people and no roosters for thousands of miles, so that she could not collect a penny of taxes.

Look what she does to be the emperor.

Do you really think it's enough to lay ground?

Without population, territory is a burden.

In a year or two, it will become a wasteland that cannot be cultivated, and the grass is one person high.

You must know that it will take three to five years to reclaim wasteland and turn it into fertile land.

Where the land is barren, I am afraid it will take seven or eight years to feed people.

No matter how capable Yan Yunge is, she doesn't believe that she can turn thousands of miles of wasteland into fertile land in a short period of time, and she can also bring the dead back to life to cultivate the land for her.

Hahaha......

Liu Baoshun laughed maniacally.

At this moment, he is crazy enough, crazy enough to destroy everything for his own selfishness!

The Imperial City Division has embarked on a journey of indiscriminate killing.

The regular army of the Northern Liang also received permission to kill and loot at will.

Anyone who stands in the way, regardless of whether it is a good citizen, a disaster victim or a family, can be killed.

With this permission, the regular army of Northern Liang instantly burst out with tenfold combat effectiveness, and its ferocity was invincible in the world.

But......

At the same time, it also slowed down the speed of the march.

They are all busy burning, killing and looting, busy looting money, where can they care about fighting.

The people of Beiliang suffered, and the family also suffered.

Only Xiao Yi's soldiers and horses benefited from this, and they pushed directly sideways and crushed all the resistance forces in one go.

……

The crazy Liu Baoshun has no one to persuade.

Perhaps, Liu Baoshun is not crazy, he is more sober than ever.

He knew the root cause of the problem, but he couldn't solve it in the court.

Therefore, he released the regular army and used a crazy killing and looting to completely solve the crisis of the Liu family.

Kill all the greedy families and reshuffle the cards.

This time, who will sit in the bank?
