Chapter 359: Plunder

War is actually a process of communication.

Before the fight, the Yan army was extremely arrogant, and it was about to destroy Liang at every turn, and after this battle was fought, the arrogance of the Yan country was pressed.

In the past 30 years, the Yan army has not won the war, and this is the only case.

From this invasion, it can be seen that the Yan army is afraid of the Liang State, and the troops going south are actually not much, and the main force is actually the Tuoba clan.

When Shi Hu died of illness and Zhao was in turmoil, Tuoba Shiyiqian summoned the Xianbei tribes, claiming that "the general will lead the six armies and set the four seas", but although Qianzhao was in chaos, Ran Min was more violent, and Tuoba Shiyiqian was instigated again.

Now that the two countries of the Yan Dynasty are in unison, with the common goal of the Liang State, they naturally go hand in hand.

And the precipitation of Liang Guo in the past two years is not to talk about the wealth of the people and the country, but he has some family background, which is much stronger than the poor ghosts around, so it also stimulates the evil wolves on the grassland.

It has always been their tradition to go south to hunt grass valleys when the horses are high in autumn.

At first, the Black Cloud Infantry suffered some losses, after all, mules and donkeys were not as good as the excellent war horses of the Xianbei people.

The Xianbei people can sneak attack the Liang army unscrupulously with their strong mobility, but the elite is the elite after all, the Black Cloud Army has experienced a hundred battles, and almost everyone is an excellent hunter, so they quickly adapted to this kind of sneak attack warfare.

deliberately exposed his whereabouts, put out more than a dozen people as bait, most of them were ambushed on the side, and once the Xianbei people approached, they suddenly hit them and caught them all.

The steppe light cavalry, in the face of motorized infantry on donkeys and mules, did not have much advantage.

And their proud cavalry is dwarfed by foot shooting.

The power and hit rate of crossbows, crossbows, and big bows are far greater than those of riding bows, and once the infantry army is arrayed, the light cavalry can only go around.

But they can bypass the Black Cloud Army's foot soldiers, but they can't bypass the Black Cloud Horsemen and scouts.

Originally, he went south to plunder, but he didn't think that he had become the target of the plunder, not only were the horses he brought were robbed, but the people also became slaves of the Liang State.

Groups of slaves and horses were sent to Yecheng.

In just half a month's effort, more than 3,000 Xianbei Ding Zhuang and more than 7,000 healthy horses were captured.

The Black Cloud Army has the upper hand, so naturally it will not blindly defend.

When he was in Shangwutang, Li Yue worked tirelessly to instill in the officers the sense of active attack.

The best defense is offense.

An army with a strong desire to attack is never too bad.

Nearly 30,000 Black Cloud troops were scattered into seventy or eighty squads, and they fought into Zhongshan, Xiangguo, Yuyang and other counties, plundered the livestock and grain of the Xianbei people, burned their villages, and plundered their population.

Youzhou chickens and dogs are restless, and smoke is everywhere.

Murong Jun sent the Yan army to drive away, but it was not the elite, half of the elite of the Yan army followed Murong Chui to sweep away the Eile and deter Goguryeo, and half defended strategic places such as Xiangguo, Zhongshan, Shuzhou, and Jicheng.

The land of Hebei is a flat river, and there are still many rivers and valleys in Jizhou, and Youzhou is really a flat river.

When the Yan army came, the Black Cloud Army dispersed, and if the Yan Army was scattered, the Black Cloud Army swarmed up.

In the first battle of Shuzhou, the Black Cloud Army has established a psychological advantage.

Often, six or seven hundred Black Cloud troops dare to take the initiative to attack more than a thousand Yan troops, and they can also kill them on their backs.

The Black Cloud Army didn't dare to say anything else, everyone was a person who licked blood with a knife, and under the stimulation of the military merit system, he even forgot to die.

In this way, Yan Guo was a little unbearable.

The generals Mu Yugen and Yue Juan led the main force to encircle and suppress it, and only then did they stabilize the situation in Youzhou.

Murong Chui led the elite back from Liaodong before he suppressed the Black Cloud Army.

The war took place in Youzhou, and naturally Yan Guo suffered more losses.

The Black Cloud Army also suffered more than 2,000 casualties, but the cost was inevitable.

Murong Chui returned to Jicheng, and Murong Jun levied more than 100,000 young men and built dock forts and passes in Youzhou to resist the Black Cloud Army going north.

Li Yue accepted it when he saw it, recalled all the soldiers, and took turns to rest for a month to accompany his family and children.

The military department has long regarded the lifelong affairs of the soldiers as the top priority, and they have matched up and found a woman from a good family as a wife, but if they can't find a woman from a good family, they will be assigned one or two female slaves to make do.

Anyway, if you give birth to an heir, at least it's a commoner.

After the rest, the military department will rehearse this year's winter hunt.

Hunting is also a part of military training, and the beast dynasty founded by Shi Hu still has a far-reaching influence, full of wild beasts, and the reproduction speed is much faster than that of people.

One spring and one summer, wild boars and wolves flock in packs.

Liang has a population of one million households, and two or three hundred thousand households have been released from Haoqiang, but it is still a drop in the bucket for the huge Central Plains.

When there are fewer people, wild beasts will overflow.

"The minister thinks that since Qingzhou and Bohai have been recovered, the salt industry should be reopened." Cui Jin, who was returning to Ye to report on his work, proposed.

"Pipe: Light and Heavy Armor" has a saying: Qi has the salt of the canal, and the swallow has the cooking of Liaodong.

Qi is adjacent to the Bohai Sea and the East China Sea, and it is an important place for salt production during the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, and Qi has always been famous for its wealth, which is inseparable from the salt industry.

"Good!" Li Yue nodded in agreement.

The salt pond in the east of the river was stared at by several forces.

Today's Hedong can be called a three-legged tripod, after Qin pacified Guanzhong, with Deng Qiang, Fu Jian Zhen Puban, 30,000 soldiers.

Zhang Ping, who was in the north and merged with the state, after the sneak attack on Shangdang succeeded, he took advantage of the geographical advantages of the northern country and successively captured Anyi, Xiangling, Yangxian, Pingyang and other cities, and his appetite was unprecedentedly great.

Yao Xiang in the south was naturally not to be outdone, and went west to capture Hongnong, Yiyang, Xin'an, Huangchi, Shaanxi and other cities, crossed the Yellow River, and took Hebei, Dayang and other cities south of Hedong.

In this situation, Cao Kan will be a little disrespectful to smuggle under the noses of others.

"There are many seafood in Qidi, and I implore you to build a fleet and catch fish, which can reap several times the profits." It is not uncommon for Cui Jin to lead troops to fight, but his governance ability is excellent.

Since the town Qidi, it has made quite a lot of political achievements.

Before intercepting Murong Ke, it was also he who dispatched later, sending a cart of grain and grass and a team of soldiers to the front line, although he did not stop Murong Ke in the end, but greatly slowed down the speed of his northward support, and only then did Li Yue's Shuzhou victory.

Of course, Murong Ke's rank is too high, he can defeat Shi Hu and Ma Qiu, and capture Ran Min alive, and there are few people in the world who can do this.

Cui Jin was not wronged when he lost at his hands.

"Then set up a ship department to supervise the construction of fishing boats and warships, train sailors, fish in peacetime, and counterattack Yan Kingdom in the future, or have miraculous effects!" Li Yueju drew inferences.

Cui Jin's eyes lit up, "Your Highness has a vision, it's better to be a minister!" ”

This sycophant is too obvious.

Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty destroyed Wei Manchu Korea, but also advanced by land and water, and finally divided the Wei Manchu jurisdiction into four counties: Lelang, Lintun, Xuansu, and Zhenfan.

In the sixth year of Jianwu (340 years), the army of Shihu Fasi, Ji, Qing, Xu, You, and Yongqizhou, five Ding drew three, four Ding drew two, and made up an army of 500,000 to attack Yan by land and water, preparing 10,000 boats and 170,000 boatmen, but encountered wind and waves, and one-third of the dead and wounded, Shi Hu gave up this idea.

It will definitely be difficult to play like this with the current national strength, but you can prepare in advance.

When the time comes, an elite of about 10,000 people will be made and killed in the rear of the Yan Kingdom.
