retaliate

Chapter 687 Ten Years Later
The Northern Liao army broke into pieces and launched a sabotage operation in the depths of the Linhe line.

Teams of Northern Liao cavalry rushed into the village. When they couldn't find anyone, they lit a fire. Watching the village burning, they couldn't help laughing wildly.

"Destroy them!"

If no one can be found, then destroy the village where you have lived for generations.

When the villagers returned again, looking at their homes in ruins, how hopeless they must be!

For ordinary people, a poor family is worth tens of thousands.Let them build another home, and the money and energy spent will keep them from recovering for many years.

This is another form of attack.

Lose the strength of Northern Xinjiang.

At this moment, the Chenzhou army attacked.

Teams of Chenzhou army cavalry galloped across the wilderness.

"Follow them."

Zhang Xu and another horned dragon guard set off with a group of cavalry.

They encountered hundreds of enemy troops.

And I have only a hundred people.

Just as the enemy army was in ecstasy, Zhang Xu and another horned dragon guard rushed in first.

The two iron rods swept across, and no one was invincible.

After only two back and forth, the enemy army collapsed.

The role of the fierce general is infinitely magnified at this time.

In each team of Chenzhou army cavalry, there are two or three horned dragon guards following them.

Their job is to open things up.

Like a blaster.

In the depths of Linhe, there are battlefields everywhere.

"Yang Gou used a good hand!"

The general who came back in embarrassment explained to Lin Ya.

Lin Ya said indifferently: "What the old man wants is not an explanation, but military exploits! Kill him and pass it on to the whole army!"

The howling stopped abruptly outside, and Lin Ya said: "If he can send out all the best fighters around him at this time, he won't be afraid of being assassinated..."

"Sir, there is a messenger."

He Lianfeng's messenger came, very serious, "Master Lin, Your Majesty has said that a big battle is imminent!"

The battle is imminent, I want good news!

Lin Ya took a deep breath, "Old man, I understand."

As soon as the messenger left, the civil and military officials under his command were outraged.

"He is persecuting!"

"Yes! This is forcing us to attack Linhe City."

"The siege battle was brutal, not to mention whether the attack was successful, who will make up for the losses?"

"Enough!" Lin Ya stopped the complaints from her subordinates, and said in a deep voice: "The army is recovering, but our army takes the lead in fighting the enemy. Treat it as a partial teacher."

His subordinates are silent.

Lin Ya said: "They are the ones who will face the main force of the northern border army."

He slowly looked at his subordinates, "I also wish that he would die suddenly tonight, but before that, I would like to see the Daliao Iron Cavalry defeat the Northern Border Army, and then step into Chang'an. If it can be done, I will temporarily avoid What's wrong with him for a while?"

The White Horse Alliance worked well, and He Lianfeng also felt Lin Ya's attitude.

"The soldiers are recovering."

He Lianfeng took the civil and military officials on a tour of the camp, and he was in a good mood when he saw his subordinates who had resumed their drills.

Xiao Hua said: "Yes. The drill just started yesterday, and the morale of the soldiers is good."

"Give more meat." The emperor looked at the army practicing with his hands behind his back, and said, "At this time, meat is the morale."

Xiao Hua praised: "I didn't expect His Majesty to even know this."

"When I was young, I entered the army under a pseudonym..." The emperor's eyes were full of memories, "Although I only stayed for five days, but those five days... when I first entered the army, some people bullied me. The guard wanted to make a move, but I didn't allow it. Afterwards, I fought with that man, and I beat him..."

Xiao Hua didn't expect the emperor to have such an experience, and couldn't help being stunned.

"That man, damn it!"

Someone sent a rainbow fart.

The emperor smiled and pointed at Chen Fangli, "That person is him."

Chen Fangli scratched his head, he was quite old, and it was ridiculous to watch him do this gesture.

Xiao Hua couldn't help laughing, "Is it the king?"

Chen Fangli said embarrassingly: "At that time, the old man was quite proud of being in the army. His Majesty entered the army, but the old man didn't like it, so he came out...Who would have thought that His Majesty would beat the old man up.

The old man refused to accept it, and quietly touched it at night, but unexpectedly His Majesty set a trap outside the tent, and the old man was beaten again.

On the second day of practice, the old man set up a challenge and was severely beaten again.

At lunch, the old man took a bowl to look for His Majesty, do you know what His Majesty said? "

The crowd shook their heads.

Chen Fangli said, "Are you here to provoke, or to be beaten?"

The crowd laughed.

The emperor's eyes became gentler, "It was the five days in the army that made me aware of many shortcomings. After I became the throne, I also wanted to solve them one by one, but in the end... there were too many obstacles. However, there is some progress."

The composition of the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty is relatively complicated. With the blending of various forces, there are many mountains in the army.For example, in this battle, part of Lin Ya and others, part of other forces, part of the emperor...

"His Majesty!"

Lin Ya's messenger has arrived.

"Our army and the Chenzhou army fought in the Linhe area, and the Chenzhou army had all their best fighters, and the two sides were evenly matched."

The emperor nodded, "That's right."

Xiao Hua said: "Huang Chunhui ordered the Chenzhou Army to guard the Linhe area, and he also intended to test the teachings."

"Huang Chunhui is optimistic about Yang Xuan as the successor of Northern Xinjiang. The successor must be beaten and sharpened, otherwise it will be difficult to become a talent." The emperor looked at the south with his hands behind his back, "The best way to sharpen is to hold one hand alone. Lin Ya leads [-] troops, two Doubly outnumbered by the enemy, not enough to siege the city, it is a good method to lure Chen Zhou's army to attack with harassment."

He walked slowly, "I have seen something in this battle. Everywhere in the northern border has been solidified and cleared, and there are occasional people who are reluctant to leave their homeland. Such people, if they are replaced by others, they will not pay attention to them. But Yang Xuan ordered the Chenzhou Army attack.

Is this pity, or a posturing?
To figure out an opponent, one must figure out and analyze from these places.Once the analysis is clear, you can't hide what your opponent is doing. "

"Your Majesty is wise."

Everyone praised it very sincerely.

The emperor walked to the side of the camp and looked into the distance.

"That's a scout!"

He pointed to the black dots and said.

Ever since the army arrived in northern Xinjiang, the scout battle has never stopped.

"Are you ready?"

the emperor turned back and asked.

Everyone stood in awe.

"Willing to serve His Majesty!"

The emperor said flatly: "Go and tell Huang Chunhui, I, wait for him!"

……

The envoy entered Tao County.

Huang Chunhui met him in person.

"Datang has repeatedly harassed Daliao in the past few years, and the last time he attacked and destroyed Jinshan City, His Majesty was furious! Do you have an explanation?"

The messenger had a cold face.

Huang Chunhui shook his head.

The envoy said: "In the past few years, Datang has been quite disrespectful to Daliao, can you explain it?"

Huang Chunhui shook his head.

Then he said: "The old man always thought that the Liao Emperor would use the sound of drums to inform the old man that this battle has begun. Unexpectedly, he sent an envoy.

Emperor Liao is elegant, but it's unnecessary... the swords and guns are raised, can they still be put down?Don't make people laugh! "

The envoy said with a straight face, "So, is Datang ready to make amends?"

Huang Chunhui shook his head, "The old man has said it, they are all against each other, why bother to play these tricks. Tell Liao Emperor, Beijiang can only speak with swords and guns."

The messenger said goodbye.

All the way back.

"Wait, is he talking about Northern Xinjiang or Datang?" the emperor asked.

The envoy recalled, "He was talking about northern Xinjiang."

The emperor smiled, "Huang Chunhui is so old-fashioned. These words imply to me that he will use a corner of the northern border to fight against the Daliao. Then what are you waiting for?"

In Tao County, Huang Chunhui hummed a tune while pacing in the lobby.

"Master."

Liao Jin came in and put the horse in his hand aside, "The enemy has too many scouts."

"Before the war, you have to be a discerning person, not a blind person!" Huang Chunhui continued to pace, with a relaxed expression, "Old Liao."

"Sir." Liao Jin sat down, poured himself a glass of water, and drank it with his head raised.

Huang Chunhui's back was a little bent, but he was in a good mood, "Do you feel tired?"

Liao Jin shook his head, and Huang Chunhui said: "Back then you were running around inside and out, and your spirit was shaking. Now you have lost some vigor."

Liao Jin stroked his beard and smiled: "After all, age is not forgiving!"

"They're all old. However, the wine gets better and better with age." Huang Chunhui said: "This battle will determine the war and peace in the north in the next few years.

Naturally, there was nothing to say about Bei Liao's victory, and whether it was riding on Chang'an or destroying the Tang Dynasty, the old man had already become a tool for Bei Liao to show off his military achievements at that time.

If Beijiang wins, within a few years, there will be no war again...

If it is not done well, within ten years there will be no more so-called imperial conquests.

Lao Liao, even now, I don't want to hide anything. Do you think His Majesty still has ten years of age? "

Liao Jin was stunned, "Master, your battle actually..."

Huang Chunhui said: "The old man also had many friends back then, and they were scattered everywhere.

Over the years, the old man has exchanged letters with them and learned a lot about the current situation of the Tang Dynasty.

Both you and I know in the court, Yang Songcheng, left chancellor Chen Shen, and others, Your Majesty, are like separatists.

In a peaceful and prosperous world, these can be covered up.But there are strong enemies in the north, and the place is in dire straits..."

"The old man also knows." Liao Jin said: "The population is increasing day by day, which seems to be a good thing, but the appetite of local tyrants is getting bigger and bigger, and there are more and more tycoons...

If these tyrants want to drink blood, they can only show their fangs at the common people.

Over the past few years, the annexation of land has been out of control, and the local government has expropriated and extorted money, and the lives of the people have become more and more difficult.Those who cannot pay taxes, those farmers who lost their land..."

"Why didn't you say it?" Huang Chunhui turned around, Liao Jin smiled wryly, "Besides, it's a taboo."

"What's the taboo?" Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "The people who can't pay the taxes, the farmers who lost their land, these are poor people, but the local officials don't care about these...

It's funny to say that no one cares about tax evasion on the land of the wealthy family, but the annual tax amount can only increase, not decrease.

The Ministry of Households requires this, and so does the local government.How to do?
For example, Tao County originally had [-] mu of land, and the annual tax was [-] yuan.

Ten years later, due to land annexation, only [-] mu of taxed land remained, so the tax should be [-] yuan!
But the Ministry of Household Affairs doesn't care, at least twelve thousand dollars.

For the sake of their official titles and political achievements, local officials reached out to the owners of those five thousand acres of land.

If you pay, you are a good citizen.If you don't pay, you will be a troublemaker, and you will be taken directly.

In this way, the powerful are getting richer and the people are getting poorer.So flee...

The population of Northern Xinjiang has increased a lot in the past few years, and many of them come from refugees from all over the Tang Dynasty.

The magistrate reported that the old man's confession was to give them fields and let them live!
As long as they are alive, they regard the old man as a living Buddha of ten thousand families, and thank him day and night.

Just live!Old Liao!

I, the people of the Tang Dynasty, are not as good as a dog now!

But look at Chang'an again, it is extremely luxurious.His Majesty rewards you constantly every day, so generous!It seems that the wealth of the world is inexhaustible and inexhaustible.

That noble concubine's elder sister was originally a widow, but she was rewarded today and tomorrow, and she became one of the richest people in Chang'an.

As long as he uses these thoughts and wealth in the world to suppress the rich and fight for a way of life for the people, why is the world like this?
It's ridiculous that Chang'an is now praising the prosperity of the Tang Dynasty everywhere...Under such a background, this battle must be provoked by the old man. "

Liao Jin felt awe-inspiring, "My husband wants to..."

Huang Chunhui thumped his back with his backhand, "Chang'an sang about the prosperity of the age, the extravagance is extreme, the temple monarchs are proud and self-righteous.

The people are displaced and impoverished...

Lao Liao, this Tang Dynasty, is in crisis.

Chang'an seemed to be sitting on top of a fire, but they didn't seem to realize it.

It is still possible to fight at this moment. If there is no fight at this moment, will Beiliao sit back and watch when there are wars everywhere in the country?
At that time, the people couldn't bear it anymore, and they raised the flag of rebellion one after another.

You and I know how the government soldiers are, and they will be defeated in one blow.

Once the heart is smashed, a corner of northern Xinjiang will be attacked from both sides.

At that time, the fate of the country will no longer be repeated.

This is the scene of subjugation! "

"That's how it was in the last years of the Chen Kingdom!" Liao Jin got up, "My husband wants to use ten years to win a chance for the Tang Dynasty!"

Huang Chunhui walked up to the pillar, patted it with his hand, his eyes were gloomy, "Chang'an said that the old man is rebellious, that the old man has a heart of disobedience. All the princes in the temple are busy fighting for power and profit in the name of the country for the people.

The world is at stake, but they turn a blind eye.There is not much this old man can do, but use this broken body to fight for the Tang dynasty for ten years..."

Liao Jin's heart was shaken, "If the emperor and ministers of the court heard what Xianggong said, they should be ashamed!"

"No, they won't be ashamed, they will only feel that the old man is scaremongering."

Huang Chunhui smiled mockingly, and then said with some sighs: "Chang'an has already become a muddy quagmire. According to the old man's thinking, if a rebel army rises from the middle of the country and goes all the way to the city of Chang'an, the monarchs and ministers will flee for their lives...

Forget it, what does the old man think about these things.If this is the case, the country will be smashed to pieces.

Those who deserve to die will not die, and the corpses of the people who should not die have filled the gully.

Meat eaters run wild, but it is the common people who bear the consequences.

Damn!At this moment, the old man wanted to be a tomb robber for the first time.

Those greedy carnivores still want extravagance after death, why? "

Liao Jin said: "Xianggong loves deeply and takes responsibility seriously. Looking at the world, how many people like Xianggong care about the world and worry about the world? Chang'an cannot ignore Xianggong's loyalty to Datang."

Huang Chunhui shook his head, Liao Jin was stunned.

He slowly walked to the door, held the door, and said softly: "What does the life and death of those people in Chang'an have to do with this old man? Old man, I just don't give up on the northern border, those people, this land... "

Liao Jin asked: "Then to strive for ten years of peace will allow Northern Xinjiang to recuperate."

"No, Lao Liao, this ten years of peace is not the main reason why this old man strives for it."

"Why is that?"

Huang Chunhui looked at the south and spoke.

"Ten years later, he should die too!"
