Chapter 15 The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun

Feng Ye thought back to the two most famous people in the Water Margin, one was the little whirlwind Chai Jin, sheltering all kinds of criminals, no matter who they were, if they encountered a problem, they would ask for his door, and he would help. Therefore, countless people have been favored by it, Lin Chong, Wu Song, those are typical representatives.

The second one is Song Jiang, almost the same means, backed by the government, criminals from all walks of life, heroes, when they encounter problems, they ask for the door, and they are equally easy to use. The same help.

Feng Ye originally wanted to learn it, but he felt that accumulating fame in this way was too slow, and it was not suitable for him. Those two people are backed by the imperial court, they can shield criminals, but they can't do it themselves.

If you want to become famous in one fell swoop, if you want to become a big hero, you can't rely on rebellion, and those heroes who were born as court generals look down on this kind of person.

Feng Ye set his sights on the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

The sixteen states of Youyun were ceded by Emperor Shi Jingjiao to the Khitan, that is, the Liao State. That was the pain in the hearts of everyone in the entire Great Song Dynasty. The loss of the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will lose the horse breeding land, which directly leads to the lack of horses in the Central Plains, the scarcity of cavalry, and the entire Great Wall defense line has been handed over, and the Central Plains is no longer in danger of blocking the enemy.

The enemy came in the North China Plain, and in the face of foreign cavalry, the Great Song Dynasty resisted extremely hard, otherwise it would not have been possible to send tribute to the Liao State every year. Several generations of emperors of the Great Song Dynasty were thinking about recovering the clouds.

If he can occupy the sixteen states of Youyun and let the entire sixteen states of Youyun be reclassified into the Chinese territory, he will inevitably become a great hero in the hearts of all warriors in the whole of China. Even if there is a counterattack on the Central Plains in the future, in legal terms, it will not be a traitor committed below, but a war between the two countries.

Thinking of this, Feng Ye suddenly made up his mind, built another biochemical war horse, and went straight to Shanhaiguan. As the first level in the world, the terrain is dangerous, easy to defend and difficult to attack. After occupying it, it can be effectively used as a barrier against the Liao State.

Today's Shanhaiguan is just an ordinary pass of the Liao State, not an important town, the Liao State only garrisons 10,000 troops here, and the defense is extremely lax. Feng Ye entered the city during the day and found someone to buy a big courtyard, he didn't care about the money, as long as the place was big enough. Directly opened the double price, without the slightest bit of ritual, and the transaction was completed on the same day.

In the early morning of the third day, the three thousand iron cavalry were already ready to go, and without the slightest preparation of the enemy, Feng Ye directly launched a charge. The 10,000 unsuspecting Liao soldiers were directly defeated. Many people don't even have weapons, and they run out crying for their fathers and mothers.

said that it was 10,000 people, but Feng Ye felt that there were not even 5,000 people in this camp, and they were all old, weak, sick and disabled. Obviously, the situation of empty salaries is very serious, and there is no combat effectiveness at all. It is no wonder that when the Jin State rose, the Liao State was beaten by 3,000 to 100,000, 10,000 to 270,000, and 20,000 to 700,000. After three battles, such a big Liao State was destroyed in just six years.

Today's Liao State has obviously been fed for a long time by the big cowardice, and has been raised with a fierce appearance Erha, who looks like a fierce wolf.

The sad thing is that the big cowardice can't even beat Erha, and in terms of level, he is a teddy. Erha can at least bluff people, Teddy can't even bluff people, he can only sell cute.

Think about the time when Jing Kang was ashamed, the capital of the Jin Kingdom was in the city, and the emperor of the second goods actually sent a Taoist priest to dance the great god under the city. They are also fools who have been known for a long time.

Feng Ye easily captured Shanhaiguan and immediately began a large-scale conscription. After having an experience, Feng Ye was much happier this time, and raided the homes of all the high-ranking and wealthy businessmen of the Liao State in the Guan. Obtain a large sum of money and arable land. Ten acres of land were allocated to the soldiers.

Although the world is big, the rich have no land, and the poor have no place to stand. Especially this place of Shanhaiguan, which was originally the territory of the Liao State, most of the land was occupied by the Khitans, and the status of the Tang people was very low, and the vast majority of them were poor. In these years, there are many people who are willing to work hard for the land.

This time, Feng Ye's three thousand iron horses are high-level intelligent brains, and they are all all-rounders in civil and military affairs. The recruitment of troops and the governance of the city, and the distribution of land were all handled in an orderly manner. No more headaches about how to manage.

Although there is not much grain in Shanhaiguan, when Feng Ye raided his home, he also seized a large amount of grain from the homes of Liao nobles and wealthy merchants. It is enough for Feng Ye's army to use it for more than half a year. And there are very few Liao people in this land, and the vast majority of them are Tang people. It is very convenient for Feng Ye's rule.

Because this land was lost by the Tang Dynasty, and these people were never ruled by the Song State, they should be called Tang people, not Song people. They also don't have any sense of belonging to Da Song. Feng Ye planned to recruit 30,000 troops and lead General Youyun himself. The three thousand iron horsemen are known as the Youyun Iron Horsemen and occupy the Shanhaiguan.

Feng Ye played the banner of being a soldier and dividing land, and also sent people to spread rumors everywhere, land is limited, first come, first served, and if you go late, there will be no land. They were also forcibly conscripted into the army. Immediately the responders gathered. In just three days, more than 10,000 people were conscripted.

There are enough materials in Shanhaiguan, although some weapons and armor were stolen and sold by the defenders, but the rest of them are enough to arm 10,000 people, plus some of the Liao nobles have been confiscated from their homes, although there are still less than 30,000 people's equipment, but training and defending the city are enough.

Feng Ye didn't dare to delay time, leaving only a hundred biochemical warriors to lead the recruits and guard the Shanhaiguan. While conscripting, while training.

Although these soldiers are all new recruits, they rely on the first level in the world, as well as sufficient materials to defend the city, arrows, and rolling wood and stones. Feng Ye believes that he can still hold it in a short time. And at the speed of the Youyun Iron Ride, it was only a matter of one day to return.

No matter how wasteful a recruit is, he won't lose the first level in the world in a day. What's more, today's Liao army is not a strong army.

Feng Ye led three thousand Youyun iron horsemen to attack Youzhou and Nanjing Mansion in Liao. This is the hub of Liao's rule over the Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun.

The news of the loss of Shanhaiguan has just spread here, but it has not attracted attention, they think that it is just some Song uprising, in the past hundred years, this kind of thing is very common.

One of the biggest mistakes was made by the Liao garrison in Nanjing, who was preparing to send troops to suppress the uprising at Shanhaiguan, but there was no martial law in Nanjing. This undoubtedly gave Feng Ye a chance.

When the thunderous sound of horses' hooves sounded, the lazy defenders on the city of Nanjing, Youzhou, found that there seemed to be a group of cavalry below, but this was the hinterland of Liao after all, so the defenders did not give the first warning.

Feng Ye saw that the Youyun Iron Horse was about to rush to the city gate, but the city gate was still bustling, and there was no sign of closing the city gate. made Feng Ye suddenly overjoyed.
