Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1337 Destroy each
The military state system under the head is the beginning of the Khitan people's toddler steps, and it is also the basis for their economic strength to gradually improve.

The aristocrats built the city and vigorously developed agriculture and handicrafts by resettling Bohai and Han slaves. This is the right way.

Yelu Shilu was the first to do this, which shows that he is indeed a talent, Ba Bu Yu Yue was not in vain, and his vision is a little bit better than A Baoji.

If his son Brother Hua hadn't killed his father Shi Lu in fear of being exposed for playing with Hua Gu in history, God knows what direction Khitan would go.

The rise of a hero requires the times.

When Shi Lu was young, the Khitan was still very weak. When the Khitan became stronger, he was old and was murdered by his son.

Of course, A Baoji's knowledge is also good.

He already liked Han culture, and when he saw his uncle Shi Lushou building Yuewang City, he immediately promoted it vigorously.But he didn't have the current situation, it was only a few years, and the Khitan's accumulation was far from enough, so he was attacked by the army of the Central Plains - Shao Shude has always shown no mercy to those who have proved himself in history.

After conquering Baiwang City, Shao Chengjie specially crossed the river to report to his father.

"My son is so strong!" Shao Shude said with a smile, "If all the Khitan's eight tribes have been defeated in the military prefecture and let them return to nomadism, what is there to be afraid of?"

Nomadic tribes lacked food, medicines, ironware, and living supplies. They lacked everything and were extremely weak.If they want to become stronger, they have only one chance: they encounter a declining agricultural regime, and then the regime has to weaken by force, and then defeat it in one fell swoop, and then snowball development.

This is the case when Jin destroyed Liao and Meng destroyed Jin.

But if the farming regime has not weakened, even if you have achieved the ultimate, it is the rhythm of the end.

Tubo itself has a certain agricultural foundation, and has obtained various technologies from Central Asia and South Asia. Its own system is also quite good. It is similar to Aguda's Meng'an Muke and Genghis Khan's Wanhu system, but this farming and nomadic compound The regime was unlucky. It encountered the Tang Dynasty before the Anshi Rebellion. It suffered repeated defeats during the Xuanzong period, and the trend of defeat was very obvious.

If Khitan is just a nomadic regime, what threat will it pose to Shao Shude's elite soldiers?
To put it bluntly, you don't even have as many horses as I do.

At its peak, the Tang Dynasty raised 70 horses, and at its peak, the Liao Kingdom raised more than one million horses. What if it was the Khitan in its infancy?

There are more than ten official herdsmen in Daxia, including Heyang, Guangcheng, Guozhou, Shayuan, Yinchuan, Yongqing, Heishui, Zendan, Dongshi, Xishi, Nanshi, and Loufan. How about the eight tribes of Khitan? Compare, who has more horses?

"My lord, more than 13 men and women were captured in Baiwang City, most of them were Bohai people, how should we deal with it?" Shao Chengjie asked: "I went north from Yingkou, and captured more than [-] Khitan, Xi, and Bohai people along the way, and [-] cattle and sheep. Right now there is nowhere to settle.”

"How many troops are there in the Anton Mansion?" Shao Shude asked.

"Should...it should be [-]." Shao Chengjie was a little uncertain.

"Hmph!" Shao Shude snorted coldly, and said, "Grandfather, I tell you, there are more than [-] people. Don't put your mind on the military. There are some things that you should understand. Dalang knows better than you. Much more."

"Your son is taught." Shao Chengjie bowed his head and agreed.

"These more than 5 people will be handed over to Du Guangyi." Shao Shude said: "Andong Mansion has [-] soldiers. Check it out. This is the task entrusted to you by my father, don't just know how to fight and kill."

Fubing is actually a low-cost solution launched to solve the huge number of professional warriors.The imperial court gave a five-year transition period. Because of their good attitude and willingness to accept serving as government soldiers, the returned German army first began to divide the land and divide into divisions. The five-year transition period for this group of people just ended last year (the sixth year of Jianji) .

At the beginning, the Longwu Army was relatively resistant as a whole, and only a small number of people were willing to serve as soldiers with the German Army.Later, some people figured it out. Every year, there are people who are willing to become government soldiers one after another. Therefore, the overall expiration time is relatively wide. There are still many people in the transition period. About half of the people who receive the imperial military salary are allocated to the land. look.

The transitional period of the Qing-Yi army ended even later, and most of them were called fubing, but they were actually recruits, and they were still queuing up for land distribution.

"My lord, do these newly conquered places also belong to the Anton mansion?" Shao Chengjie asked.

"Grandpa plans to build a new state, called Shenzhou." Shao Shude said: "How about this, if the Anton Mansion has not yet divided the land, those soldiers who can be placed there will be placed in the Anton Mansion. If there are not enough, they will be dispatched." To Shenzhou."

According to his plan, the Anton Mansion will be limited to the Liaodong Peninsula in the future, and further north, new prefectures and counties will have to be established.

As a source of threat to the Central Plains Dynasty, the Northwest has become increasingly ineffective. In the future, it will be the Northeast, which must be controlled.

"It's clear, my son." Shao Chengjie replied: "If there is nothing else, I will cross the river and urge all the troops to fight hard."

"Go." Shao Shude waved his hand and watched his son cross the river east.

The main force of Khitan is not in this area.

Although the Liaohe River Basin is a good place to build the Touxia Military State, due to inertia or other factors, the center of gravity is still in the north.

******
In fact, Muye Mountain is not a mountain at all. At best, it is just a small bag of soil in the grassland desert. It is located about ten miles northeast of Shuangliao City in later generations, near the confluence of Xinkai River and Laoha River.

In the Song Dynasty, Su Zhe was sent as an envoy to the Liao Kingdom and wrote a poem on Muye Mountain, saying that "this mountain is also a sandy mountain".

But the Khitan people regard this as a sacred mountain, because there are too many contents related to this sandbag in their ancient legends.

Abaoji is also full of affection for Konoha Mountain.

Because four months ago, he held a ceremony here to offer sacrifices to heaven and ascend the throne, becoming the new Great Khan of the Eight Divisions of Khitan.

At that time, the nobles from all ministries, whether they were willing or not, all bowed to the ground, which made him feel great pride out of thin air.

Four months later, the nobles gathered in Konoha Mountain again.This time, the expressions on their faces were very solemn, and even fear and fear could be seen.

The situation is clear.Xia Guo sent out his army on the third route and attacked Khitan directly.

According to the information obtained so far, Xia Lord Shao Shude has personally arrived in Yingzhou, and the governor's army has marched northward.

And on its left and right wings, there are soldiers and horses on each side.

Among them, the left wing was commanded by their old acquaintance, Liang Hanyong, the commander of the Johor State camp, and the number of soldiers was 20.

At the beginning of May, the Chu Special Department sent people to reconnaissance, and found that the Xia people were grazing cattle and sheep on the grassland in the west.Just as they were about to make a tentative attack, the Xia army cavalry suddenly appeared.Chu Te's cavalry retreated, but the Xia people did not pursue them.

This road is not a false soldier, but a real army.Even if there are not 20, it is estimated that there are still 10.

The Chu Special Department is still continuing to inquire, trying to figure out how many of them there are.

On Shao Shude's right wing, there was a soldier from the [-]st Route, who was also their old acquaintance, a soldier from the Anton Mansion.They are said to be hundreds of thousands of people, and they went north along the Daliao River.

Diela Liubuxi sent people to make a tentative attack, but after paying a certain amount of casualties, there was still nothing he could do.

They put a lot of luggage, food and grass on the boat, and they shot with strong bows and crossbows, so there was really nowhere to start.

There are also walking and riding on both sides of the Liaoshui River, with cars as a barrier outside and elite soldiers inside.When attacking, the thieves were calm and calm, reminiscent of Liu Wei who went straight to Liaoyang all the way back then.

This road has conquered the Bodhisattva slave's head Xiajunzhou Baiwang City.The whole army of guarding soldiers was wiped out, and no one escaped.It can be seen that its combat effectiveness is still very strong, and its military strength is also quite large, which should be around 5.

The main force of the Shao thieves has also moved northward, and the target is directly at their old government account.There seemed to be more soldiers on this route than on the left and right flanks, because during the march, banners and flags were spread all over the sky, and the sound of drums could be heard more than ten miles away.Moreover, they have a large number of cavalry, and it is difficult to estimate their correct strength by driving out the rangers far away and not letting anyone approach them.

The general in charge of the army is called Zang Dubao, who is not well-known, but he actually brought an "army of 50", which shows that he is not an idle generation.

In addition, just a few days ago, the direction of Hujie Mansion reported that there were Bohai soldiers watching.Then sent people to inquire into the enemy's territory, and unexpectedly saw the Bohai army marching overwhelmingly, about 4 to [-] people, mostly infantry, and only four to five thousand cavalry.

After finding a way to capture a few prisoners, he learned that Bohai King Dawei was ill and sent his younger brother Da Shuxian to lead the army westward to attack Khitan.It is said that they were bewitched by the Xia people, and they searched out all the elite soldiers in the country, intending to complete their meritorious service in one battle.

And in the direction of the Changxia Palace and Ruzhou of the Xia people, there were also Qingqi who broke into the country, burning, killing and looting everywhere. It is hard to say whether they followed the main force behind them.

The situation is such a situation, everyone knows it, and everyone's scalp is numb.

How many troops did Shao thief dispatch this time?Counting down to more than 30, right?Is he crazy?Yang Guang led an army of 100 million to conquer Goguryeo and wiped out his own country. If you send out an army of 30, if you fail, the Xia Dynasty, which has only been established for a few years, will surely collapse.

Do you still have the slightest sense to do this?does it worth?
How crazy!

"Abaoji, you're a profuse, make up your mind." Shi Lu didn't close his eyes last night, restless in his heart, and wanted to say something many times, but finally gave up.

A Baoji glanced at his uncle, nodded, and said, "You don't need to panic too much. Yesterday Sala only looked for green cattle and white horses to ask for advice. After listening for a long time, he has a plan."

"A Baoji, tell me, we will listen to you."

"This is the end of the matter, it's time to unite. A Baoji, you can make the decision. At worst, you will die."

"Looking at the state of the Xia people, it's impossible to seek peace. After mobilizing so many troops, we have to get something back. I'm afraid we won't be able to afford it."

"Xia Bandit hangs his master deeply. It is not certain who will win and who will lose. What are you afraid of? Just kill him."

"Yes! Fight with them!"

A Baoji glanced at everyone silently, and his voice gradually subsided.

"Everyone has this fighting spirit, so I am relieved." A Baoji said: "Sarra only has one sentence, defeat each one! Dividing and attacking together is an important military art of the Han people, but this kind of military art is not for everyone. Play well. Now we are facing four enemies, some are strong, some are weak, some are fast, some are slow, some are brave, some are timid..."

Speaking of this, A Baoji swung his right hand down, and said: "It happens to be defeated one by one. Listen to my order now, don't hesitate, those who have already evacuated, don't look back. Those who haven't evacuated, hurry to the North Tower Ding Zhuang and war horses will continue to be recruited. It is not enough for three households to send out one Ding. Now, at the time of life and death, three households should send out two Dings. They should prepare their own food, horses and equipment, and listen to my orders. Depending on how many roads he comes, I will only go all the way. .We can win this battle!"
