"Magnificent! Great!"

Gao Huaide raided Youzhou and captured the enemy's courage with three arrows!

Yelu Sha was so scared that he closed his doors and did not dare to attack. He had 70,000 people and could only sit in the city of sleepy sorrow. He was such a waste snack!

The morale of the Great Zhou became more and more high, and the rest of Yang Ye, Fu Zhaoxin, Wang Tingyi and others followed suit and swept it. Wherever the Zhou soldiers passed, the Khitans could not hide, which made everyone exclaim that they were happy and excited.

"These kids are still too young and are so proud!"

Veteran Wang Jing warned, "The Khitans did not send troops, but were waiting. The weather is too hot now, and their troops travel south and are prone to being infected with heat. If there is a plague, tens of thousands of troops will only be killed or injured, and no one will be left!

Therefore, the Khitans will definitely wait until autumn when the horses are fat and strong and the soldiers are in high spirits before they will go south. As long as they can defend Youzhou, they will have the capital to turn the tables. On the contrary, we have been fighting for a few months. Although the Marquis is paying attention to repairing, don’t forget that we are attacking the Khitan territory. The longer the front line, the greater the loss on the road. Sooner or later, there will be people who are trapped and weaker after successors."

Liu Ci also criticized bluntly: "Babys rely on their courage to win this way, and those who cannot win battles will be plotted against them! Marquis, you have to make an idea as soon as possible."

As a veteran on the battlefield, their analysis is very reasonable. Whether it is the Chai Rong Northern Expedition in history or the Zhao Er's two Northern Expeditions, the Khitans chose to retreat with great strides and put the front in the Youzhou area. After the Central Plains soldiers and horses were looking down on their way in the early days, they became tired, but the Khitans were raising their energy and waiting for the time to ripe and fight back.

Ye Hua has long seen through this tactic of waiting for effort.

He conquered Yizhou and Zhuozhou, hoping to attract the main force of Khitan to go south and fight them in advance.

But the problem is that Yelu Sha from Youzhou is a coward who cannot defend himself. Xiao Siwen is another old fox. He still holds troops north of Qinghe. The two sides have more than 100,000 people, and they are supporting each other. It is not easy to take down Youzhou or defeat Xiao Siwen.

As the commander of the three armies, Ye Hua cannot only look at the victory in one place. He must look at the overall situation to come up with the best solution.

"We are going to force the Khitans to fight!"

Ye Hua said firmly!

The two veterans showed curious expressions. The Khitans clearly couldn't stand it. What kind of tricks could Ye Hua have?

"It's also a stupid way to say that. I want to destroy the foundation of the Khitan in Yanyun!"

Ye Hua smiled and said, "After the Khitan occupied Yanyun, he initially relied on strong suppression and ran around to encircle land, which made the world angry and resentful. Later, they learned from the Central Plains, adopted the southern official system, and even introduced the imperial examinations to recruit scholars, winning over the powerful families on the ground, and helped them stabilize Yanyun. Over the past few decades, they had initial results."

Wang Jing nodded, "What the Marquis said is very true, so we must win over these powerful families, give them better treatment, let them surrender to the Great Zhou, and serve us?"

Liu Ci said happily: "Okay, this method is good. The Khitan can give it. We double the price! Can the Great Zhou be afraid of the Khitan than spending money?"

The two veterans looked at each other and laughed, thinking that Ye Hua would do this. On the contrary, Zhao Er, behind Ye Hua, disagreed and curled his lips. I had made a bullshit idea long ago. Master didn't agree at all. Look, Master must have other solutions! You can wait and drop your chin!

Sure enough, Ye Hua smiled and shook his head, "Those powerful clans are jackals who cannot feed them. They are capricious and have only interests in their hearts. No matter how much they give them, they will not be grateful. Moreover, the money from my Dazhou is the people's wealth and ointment. Can I use it to raise these beasts?"

"This!" The two veterans said silently. Of course they didn't want to, but the problem was that if you don't spend money, can there be other ways?

"Give the field!"

Ye Hua said clearly: "Where the army passed, the land of the Khitan nobles and gentry and tyrants was immediately confiscated, and the land of the Khitan nobles and gentry was divided equally to all the people according to the population, and it was announced to the world that most people who fled from Yanyun to the Central Plains and returned to their hometowns, can obtain land for free!"

"Instead of trying to win over the gentry above, it is better to directly respond to the demands of ordinary people and give them land, so that they can see the benefits of expelling the Khitans, and encourage them to join the army... As long as more and more people stand on our side, they can save transportation costs and get intelligence support."

"And after seeing this, the Han people under the Khitan rule would be interested in the Great Zhou. There will inevitably be more righteous people north of Youzhou. At that time, they will send a team of killing Hu to raid the Khitan's retreat. We will be able to take the initiative and take the initiative into our hands! At that time, the Khitans will not be able to send troops!"

Ye Hua sacrificed a killing weapon to teach the fields.

Zhao Er's eyes lit up. He had witnessed it with his own eyes that Guo Wei had gained a firm foothold in the Central Plains by relying on the land order. There was not even a piece of spare land outside the city.

The people took the land and actively paid food to serve. Within a few years, the Central Plains recovered their vitality, and the commerce and trade were prosperous and the population was prosperous.

This move will definitely be more effective if you get Yan Yun.

The people of Yanyun not only faced the exploitation of local gentry, but also exploited the Khitans, and paid bribes with heavy taxes. They were as numerous as cows and had a heavy burden.

If someone stands up and helps them clear everything and live with hope, they will definitely gain the support of the people. Their support is far more solid and reliable than the gentry!

I am worthy of being a master, there is really a way!

Zhao Er provoked Ye Hua.

But the two veterans were stunned and could not accept it. The Khitans were originally difficult to deal with. Ye Hua had to attack the gentry and wealthy clans, so wouldn’t he be afraid of these people backfire?

If they stood with the Khitans and fully supported the Khitans, wouldn’t it be even more difficult to recover Yan Yun?

"Let the gentry support the Khitan! I only need the support of the people. Then, who has the greater power!"

"Marty!" Wang Jing was anxious, "What are the people? They are just ants! It is impossible to expect them to be able to turn the world upside down!"

"Yes, the marquis must not act irresponsible, and the court will not agree!" Liu Ci also tried his best to persuade him.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Two old generals, let's see how effective the two old generals!" Ye Hua didn't want to talk nonsense anymore. It was not far from autumn now. If the foundation was not laid as soon as possible, how could he win the decisive victory!

Ye Hua decisively ordered the land granting order to fully implement the land grant, and grant Yanyun's land, pastures, and forests to ordinary people. All officials and gentry who worked for the Khitan were divided into three categories depending on their circumstances. Those who helped the evil and harmed the people would be killed; those who were unkind and those who were in the countryside would be deprived of wealth and divided equally; those who were usually disciplined and had no evil deeds, and after assessment, they would be re-employed as officials.

If this command continues, it is earth-shaking.

The first person to respond to Ye Hua was Gao Huaide.

Didn’t he almost fall into the ambush of the Khitans?

After being questioned, the person who came to deceive him in the past was Chen Henan. This man was a famous fur businessman. After he became rich, he bought 100,000 acres of land and was loyal to the Khitan.

During this Northern Expedition of Zhou, Chen Henan took out his maternal property and recruited two thousand strong men to help the Khitans, and was willing to be a lackey. He also actively provided advice.

If Gao Huaide hadn't been careful, he would have been fooled!

"Shameless people, there is no more to die!"

Gao Huaide personally led his troops to surround the Shen family's village.

Chen Henan is over seventy years old, but he is in excellent health. He has two nicknames, one is called "Iron Rooster" and the other is called "Master Hua". Although this person is rich, he never spends money indiscriminately. He uses all of them to buy land. He usually drinks white water and wears coarse cloth, and is frugal to the point of being stingy.

But he was so kind that he was willing to spend money and married the concubine of the seventh house. On his 66th birthday, he actually married a sixteen-year-old girl to be his eighth house.

Chen Henan usually boasts that the hero Ba Jiu's wife would marry another wife before he died. Chen Henan is indeed in good health. He has seven sons and nine girls. The Shen family is prosperous and has amazing strength.

He was usually extremely domineering, and even his children and grandchildren dared not say anything. Chen Henan armed all his servants and long-term workers.

"The old man has both good fortune and longevity in his life, and he has a lot of children and grandchildren, and he is only an official!" He said with a smile: "As long as you are loyal to Your Majesty, can Your Majesty still treat me badly? Give any official position, the Shen family can change the family and shine their ancestors. Follow me, you can also be promoted and wealthy in the future, and the chickens and dogs will be promoted to heaven!"

...

The old guy patted his chest and assured his subordinates that he was full of confidence.

"Master, Zhou Bing is here!" A servant hurriedly reported.

Chen Henan poked the ground with a crutch and scolded angrily, "What are you afraid of? Our village has built the foundation with bluestone, which is stronger than the city wall. There is so much food. If you give them three or five months, you can't get it in!"

Before Chen Henan finished speaking, a violent explosion came from outside.

It turned out that Gao Huaide gathered twenty bed crossbows and bombarded the village gate.

The gunpowder exploded, causing bricks and soil to fall from the village gate, but it was not broken for a long time.

"Use tin oil!"

Gao Huaide changed his mind.

This was amazing. Gunpowder was useless, but the turbid oil fell on the wood and burned instantly. Not long after, the village gate was swallowed by fierce fire.

The smoke was strong and the flames were flying. The untrained Shuang Ding was so scared that he threw away his weapons and ran away in scattered.

The engineers in charge of blasting rushed to the bottom of the village and lit gunpowder... Chen Henan's proud village wall was split into pieces and a big hole was blown out!

"Kill in!"

Gao Huaide took the lead and rushed into the village. Those servants, long-term workers, and short-term workers had never seen such a situation. They simply ran away. If they couldn't escape, they knelt on the ground and surrendered, trembling, not to mention how miserable it was.

As for Chen Henan, he couldn't believe it at all. He held a crutch in his hand and stood blankly at the door of his house.

"It's over, it's all over!"

He muttered, suddenly turned around, aimed at the stone lion at the door of his house, and ran into it. His brain burst and he died tragically on the spot.

Mr. Shen was dead, and no one came to collect his body, including several sons. They came out and kicked his father's body with their feet, and they were sure that they were dead.
