Chapter 42: The harvest is rich
Chapter 42: Reaping a lot
This is a one-sided massacre. The Congxin Army is able to kill, and the more they kill, the more they become, the braver they become. It seems to be facing the Liao army on the battlefield, with red eyes, and wishing to dismantle the Liao army.
The Liao army could do nothing except beg for mercy. Even if they wanted to escape, they had no chance. Begging for mercy loudly was in exchange for the rebirth of the Converted Army and criticizing their sins.
These sins are real. When the Liao army did evil, they were very happy and wanted to do more. Now, with swords and death coming, I wish I had never done them. However, there is no medicine for regret in the world. If they do evil, they will be retribution. What retribution is the sword of the Converted Army.
The massacre lasted for a short while and it ended. More than 2,000 Liao troops died in destruction, and no one survived. Even if they were to take it, they would chop it into meat paste for Li Mingchu, and a pool of blood surged. If it weren't for those who knew the details, no one would believe that this was the guard of the horse farm.
There are only more than 2,000 Liao troops in this horse farm, which is equivalent to the Guixin Army. If we really want to fight, the Guixin Army can be massacred. However, it will not be so easy to deal with, and it will not be so clean. If it weren't for Wu Ji's clever plan to deceive the Liao army, but to fight, the Liao army on the horse farm will escape some of the time, and the time it took would never be so short and would take a lot of effort.
Because this horse farm is close to Laishui, and Laishui is not far away, once the Liao army cannot defeat it, it will cross the water. If that is the case, no matter how powerful the Confucian Army is, it will not be useful.
No one expected that Wu Ji used such a wonderful method to stabilize the Liao army, and also concentrated the Liao army, and was massacred by the Converted Army. It was so thorough that it was exciting to think about it.
What makes people even more happy is still behind. After killing all the Liao army, Wu Ji ordered to start plundering and take away all the things that could be taken away. This plundering was amazing. A lot of gold, silver and jewelry were found. It seems that these Liao army has plundered many Han people, otherwise there would not be so much wealth.
What made the Converted Army angry was that hundreds of Han women had plundered the Liao army to commit the Liao army's misfortune. In a small horse farm, so many Han women were plundered. In Yanyun land, how many people lived in dire straits?
"It's a sin! Shi Jingtang is a sin!" Wu Ji looked at these women who were abused and humiliated and couldn't help but sigh to the sky, cursing Shi Jingtang's insecurity after his death.
Shi Jingtang's treason for the country was a complete legacy, and it can be said to be the most shameful page in Chinese history. Its harm is so great that it is hard to defeat anyone.
The cedes of the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun to the Liao Kingdom not only allowed the people of Yanyun to live in dire straits, but also opened a door for the alien race to invade the Central Plains, allowing the alien race's iron cavalry to drive straight into the Central Plains.
If Zhou Shizong had not taken back the three passes, the Liao Kingdom might have entered the Central Plains again, and would not have waited for the Jurchens to do it. Even so, the Song Dynasty did not preserve the Central Plains. First, under the attack of the Jurchens, he lost the Central Plains. How many people died could not be counted, and the people in the Central Plains lived in dire straits.
During the Mongol period, he directly used the Central Plains as a springboard to attack Jiangnan, destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty, and lost the entire country. Therefore, the Song Dynasty became the only dynasty in Chinese history that was destroyed by the hands of foreign races.
Tracing the root cause is because Yanyun’s Sixteen Prefectures were lost.
This is the terrible consequence of Shi Jingtang's stolen country. The legacy of poison has lasted for hundreds of years, and tens of millions of people died in this stolen country. The Mongols massacred more than 20 million people to enter the Central Plains and destroyed the Southern Song Dynasty. This was just the Mongols, and the Jurchens and Khitans did not count. All of them were included, without 100 million, it would not be too much different.
"Commander Wu Du, you have seen the people of Yanyun live in dire straits and heat. You should know why our Qiyun Club is still resisting now." Zhang Tong came to Wu Ji and whispered: "It's not that we want to resist, but we have to resist!"
"Yes!" Wu Ji nodded in agreement, remembering a famous saying, "Where there is oppression, resist wherever there is oppression." How could the people in Yanyun not resist when the Khitans oppress the Han people so much?
"Don't worry, I have decided to stir up the turmoil of Yanyun." Wu Ji never had such a strong wish at this moment: "It's better to take back the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun!"
"The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are the foundation of Liaogou. If the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun are taken back, the strength of the Khitans will plummet and will not be far from destruction!" Zhang Tong was very excited and said, "At that time, only a partial teacher will be needed to go deep into the desert and dig out the Khitans' ancestral tombs."
After Han Derang's governance, the Land of Yanyun had long become the fundamental land of the Liao Kingdom. If there was no Land of Yanyun, the strength of the Liao Kingdom would plummet, and one in ten would not exist, and it would be really not far from destruction.
Wu Ji gathered the captured women together and distributed them silver to them, asking them to go home. He also explained that if they had nowhere to go in Liao, they could go to Wu Ji and Wu Ji would properly resettle them.
These women were so grateful to Wu Ji, and they left after thanking each other for their gratitude.
After sending these women away, Wu Ji led the Converted Army, drove the war horses, and set off with the seized property, and headed towards the Song Dynasty.
"Commander Wu Du, guess how much we got this time?" Qi Dabao came to Wu Ji happily, laughing before he could speak, and said, "It's far beyond our estimates. Not to mention anything else, the war horses alone exceeded 20,000. The horse farm originally raised more than 18,000 war horses, and the mounts of Liao Gou exceeded 20,000. There were more than 30,000 gold and silver, and countless food and grass. It took more than 3,000 war horses to transport them away."
"So many!" Wu Ji was a little surprised and hated him very much: "Liao Gou's oppression is cruel enough."
The hair of the cow comes from the cow, and these things must be from the Han people. It is impossible not to make people not angry.
"I used to hear that Liao dogs were so cruel to exploit the Han people. Now, when I saw it with my own eyes, I realized that it was so cruel." Huangfu Song's eyes flashed with a sharp light, and he was very angry. He held his right hand tightly on the hilt of the knife. If there was a Liao army in front of him, he would definitely kill him.
"It's better now." Zhang Tong raised his eyebrows: "In the first ten or twenty years, Liao Gou regarded Yan Yun's land as a warehouse and asked for it. If he was dissatisfied, he would kill the Han people and vent his anger. At that time, in the eyes of Liao Gou, the Han people were pigs and dogs, and they were allowed to slaughter them. The Yan Yun people hated them all. Therefore, when Zhou Shizong recovered the three passes and was about to march into Youzhou, Yan Yun people responded, waiting for Zhou Shizong to march. However, God was jealous of the talent, and Zhou Shizong suddenly passed away and missed a great opportunity."
Zhou Shizong conquered three passes, Liao army retreated, Youzhou became an empty city, and the people in Yanyun land responded to the incident. Wu Ji had known about it for a long time. He heard it again today, but he still felt it deeper.
Zhang Tong sighed and continued, "It was not until Empress Xiao took power that the Han people's lives were slightly better. Although Han Dear resigned this person as a traitor and was willing to be a hawk in the Liao Kingdom, he was indeed a talented person. Empress Xiao entrusted him with important tasks, and he did not disappoint Empress Xiao's expectations and governed the Yanyun land in an orderly manner. Since then, the Khitans' oppression of the Han people has improved, and it has only improved. It is impossible to achieve equality. Not to mention anything else, the Khitan ministers are higher than the Han officials in the Liao Kingdom."
It was precisely because Empress Xiao used Han De to let these Han ministers integrate the Yanyun land into the Liao Kingdom that the strength of the Liao Kingdom was greatly improved, and the Khitan became completely different from the previous nomadic peoples, such as the Huns and Turks. Although the nomadic peoples such as the Huns and Turks were powerful, they could only bend their horses and bend their bows. Without advanced civilizations and developed technology, they encountered the Han and Tang army with advanced civilizations and excellent equipment made by developed technology, and they would eventually be destroyed.
Because the Khitans had the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, they accepted the Han civilization and developed technology, which greatly improved their combat power and eventually became a major trouble in the north. In addition, the Song Dynasty was weak and corrupt, and eventually became a state of turmoil.
"After all, it was the court that had a problem." Wu Ji said bluntly: "Although there are a large number of Han people in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, with advanced civilization and advanced skills, they can greatly improve the strength of the Khitans. However, if you want to compare with the court, it is still very inferior."
If the Song Dynasty had a great emperor who had a broad mind and had a strong force, his strength would be far greater than that of the prosperous Tang Dynasty, Liao Kingdom, and Western Xia Dynasty. Wu Ji's words hit the point, but in the final analysis, it was the Song Dynasty that had a problem.
"Reform must be implemented to the end! If you want to change the status quo, you must change!" At this moment, Wu Ji was extremely strong about the current situation of reform.
If you don’t change, you will be beaten. This is a portrayal of the Song Dynasty.
"Where are you going to accept it?" Wu Ji put away his thoughts and looked at Zhang Tong.
"Let's talk about it when you arrive in Song Realm first." Zhang Tong replied.
"Okay." Wu Ji looked at Zhang Tong and asked, "What's the situation on the road?"
"At present, it's still calm and the Liao Gou has no abnormal movement. I think it will take several days even if the Liao Gou finds that the horse farm is robbed." Zhang Tong pondered for a moment and answered truthfully.
"That's great!" Wu Ji's eyes were particularly bright.
"You don't want to do it, do you?" Zhang Tong thought of something.
"If you miss such a good opportunity, I feel sorry for me." Wu Ji turned his voice and said, "We took the horse farm without knowing it. It will take some time for Liaogou to discover it. This is enough for us to do a lot of things. Li Mingchu, you lead a battalion of people to drive the horses and return to the letter."
"Commander Wu, you can't be so generous to each other." Li Mingchu's face was very long and he was very unhappy: "Commander Wu, you should change someone. The younger one wants to go and have a few more votes."
"Stop talking nonsense." Wu Ji's face sank.
"Commander Wu Du, although the young man had cut you with a knife, you are a lot of adults and would not care about these people. Grandpa Wu, please let the young man do a few more votes." Li Mingchu's smile on his face, and his smile piled up layer by layer, more intimate than seeing his ancestors: "If you don't do such a beautiful thing, I'm sorry for myself!"
"If you say it, I will look after the house and not let you come out." Wu Ji said in a deep voice with a stern face.
"Commander Wu Du, please rest assured that your hometown is my family. I will go back now, and go back now." Li Mingchu was very upset and muttered: "They went to eat meat, but I watched it. Isn't this torture?"
Even if you are unhappy, you still have to enforce military orders and take your men to return to Song territory with your war horses.
