back to ancient times to be emperor

Chapter 88
(Ask for collection recommendations. As a writer, I dare not ask for collection recommendations, so I don’t need to write. What should be contended for should still be contended for.)
The vicious aspect of economic sanctions is like the seven wounds boxing, which first hurts oneself and then hurts others.And its effect will not be apparent in a short time. When others find out, perhaps the domestic economy is already on the verge of collapse.

In fact, Wang Hui, the king of Koryo, can be regarded as a generation of Mingjun. His strategy of abandoning obedience and pro-Liao can be said to be very accurate.Because at this time Dashun's real enemy is Daliao, and they are also at war.It is impossible for Dashun to fight on both sides for a small Koryo country.If Dashun did this, he would drag himself to death in the quagmire of war.At that time, the country of Korea may be able to take the opportunity to get a piece of the pie, and set foot on the long-coveted Liaodong with justification.After gaining a firm foothold, after a few more operations, Liaodong can be incorporated into the territory of Koryo.Taking a step back, even if the Liao Kingdom did not accept their proposal to switch suzerain, they could still use the five carts of gold, silver, and silk to curry favor with the Khitans so that they would no longer harass the borders of the Koryo Kingdom.

This wishful thinking was played very loudly, but it killed two birds with one stone.If it weren't for Lu Chengqi, even if they could see through their tricks, they wouldn't be able to crack them.It's a pity that they met Lu Chengqi, a soul who didn't belong to this time and space, and their wishful thinking was destined to fail.

Lu Chengqi resorted to the two magic weapons of public opinion and economic sanctions, slapped Korea twice hard, and told them that Dashun would never be easy to mess with these inferior sticks!

It's just that this method won't show up in a short while, which is a pity.Without the pleasure of immediate revenge, Lu Chengqi still felt that he couldn't swallow his breath. He secretly swore that if one day the Khitan people were wiped out, the first thing to do would be to wipe out this despicable nation. It's really disgusting .Even if it cannot be destroyed, it must be isolated and assimilated, and the Korean peninsula will become a state capital of the Dashun Dynasty!
At this moment, under the city of Youzhou thousands of miles away, the Khitan army led by Yelu Chongyuan still did not retreat.The morale of the Khitan army, which has experienced a serious internal strife, has fallen to the bottom.Yelu Chongyuan didn't know soldiers anymore, and he knew that he must not attack recklessly now.Otherwise, it is easy to be self-defeating.

It's just that they mobilized a large number of troops to attack Dashun, but ended in anticlimactic conditions. After the class teacher returned, how would he face his political opponents?Wouldn't he be laughed out of his teeth by Xiao Xulie, Prime Minister of Beifu, Tongzhi of Beiyuan, Deputy Privy Envoy Yelu Yixin?
Ever since, Yelu Zhongyuan retreated but couldn't retreat, and attacked but couldn't attack, and fell into the dilemma of riding a tiger.

Hesitant Yelu Chongyuan finally remembered Xiao Feng who was considered a talent in his army.Although he is a member of that boy Yelu Hongji, if no one is available, he should listen to his opinion, as long as he is not given the lead, it will be fine.

"The only solution now is this..." Yelu Zhongyuan, who had no other options, asked his own soldiers to find Xiao Feng and put him on the throne, and then began to ask questions: "General Xiao, you have offended me a lot before. Now that the enemy is in front of you, how can you I am all Khitan people, so there is no need for infighting. I invited you here today because I want to discuss with you how to capture Youzhou City."

Although Xiao Feng was loyal to Yelu Hongji, he was also a Khitan, and he didn't want the Khitan soldiers to be wasted in endless siege battles.He slowly opened the mouth and said: "From the view of the general, the walls of Youzhou City are high and thick, and it is difficult to capture them in a hurry. The general once heard that the siege soldiers said that the gates of Youzhou City were all made of sand and stone. It's blocked. They must be determined to defend the city. In this case, even if there are another 20 troops, they will not be able to take this Youzhou City for a while..."

When Yelu Chongyuan heard this, anger flashed on his face, but he was suddenly discouraged, he knew Xiao Feng was telling the truth.Now that Dashun has managed the Youyun Sixteen States like an iron bucket, even if there are 20 more troops, the Khitan who are not good at siege may not be able to defeat them.

After Yelu Chongyuan suppressed his anger, he continued Xiao Feng's words: "...Since this is the case, we shouldn't waste time here. The border troops in Youzhou City dare not come out to fight us in the field, so we will take the initiative to find Fighting opportunity. The sixteen prefectures of Youyun are so big, and it’s not just Youzhou city. Even if every city in the other fifteen prefectures is so difficult to attack, we can still carry out sneak attack tactics. It’s just that we are surrounded by the Great Wall and want to cross the Great Wall. It's very difficult. If it weren't for Dashun's poor finances before, the Great Wall could not be repaired, and many places collapsed, our army would not have gone straight down to Youzhou City. The strategy of the last general is very simple. The state exerted pressure to force them to come out for a decisive battle. At the same time, they fought grass and valleys everywhere in Youyun to maintain the consumption of military rations..."

Xiao Feng's strategy, to put it bluntly, is to break up the whole into parts and harass Youyun Sixteen Prefectures.The Khitan cavalry are very good at fighting Caogu, even if there are only a dozen or so cavalry, they dare to face a thousand infantry, if they can't beat them, they will run away.In this way, there is not much loss, but there may be a lot of gains.

After Yelu Chongyuan heard the words, he had some doubts, and said: "If the frontier army in Youzhou City comes out to fight us, and we have no cavalry, what should we do?"

Xiao Feng said: "Since all the tribes in the Northwest are dissatisfied with our Khitan people, let's send them out. Our Khitan cavalry is still stationed here, waiting for the Dashun army to be harassed unbearably, they will come out to fight decisively gone."

Yelu Zhongyuan thought about it carefully and felt that this plan was feasible.After all, Xiao Feng is a talent who understands military affairs, so his strategies are different and hit the nail on the head.It's just that he didn't expect that there was another Dashun Forbidden Army hiding not far from them.

And last year, Prime Minister Xiao Xulie of the Northern Mansion came to the border of Youyun to plunder and plunder, and almost all the Han people were plundered.Yunzhou, Ruzhou, Guizhou, Wuzhou, Xinzhou, Weizhou, Yingzhou, Huanzhou, and Shuozhou, which are protected by the Great Wall, are alright, but Youzhou, Jizhou, Yingzhou, Mozhou, Zhuozhou, Tanzhou, and Shunzhou were in bad luck. The border residents were almost plundered, and a large area of ​​fertile land was abandoned. After the frontier soldiers plundered the remaining grain, most of the fertile land is still covered with weeds.

Xiao Feng's strategy might have worked well before that grand grass-grazing scramble, but now that Dashun's border residents are empty, it probably won't have much effect.If you want to blame, you can blame Yelu Chongyuan. Before the Dashun border residents recovered their vitality, they hurriedly swung their troops south, trying to get some attention, but they hit the iron plate...

The border residents who were lucky enough to escape the Khitan's invasion of the border did not dare to stay outside the city at this moment.Hearing that the Khitans were about to invade again, they would rather abandon their fields and enter the city to seek shelter.After all, Lu Chengqi couldn't bear to part with these frontier residents, so he had already sent the household department to prepare enough food and clothes.Even if the city is besieged for three months, they are not afraid of running out of food.
