Chapter 1169
The public trial captured the hearts of ordinary people.
Official position wins over the hearts of landlords and powerful people.
In this way, when the summer harvest is about to be reached, it can be expected that the land near Youzhou can provide the consumption of the Northern Expedition Army well.
The cost of transporting grain from thousands of miles away is too high, so it is better to use grain in Youzhou.
Li Jia feels very good about her own techniques and is already a mature politician.
Rule is a science that wins over most people and forms a rule that goes above and below.
Yamen, army, and laws are just barriers to safeguard the interests of rulers. As long as they can safeguard the interests of most people, it will be enough to last.
Youzhou has been away from the Central Plains for decades. Although it is a bit troublesome to rule, it is enough to follow the rules, because in the most common rules of the Tang Dynasty, they all seem to be novel and joyful.
...
"General, we have been walking for two days. Do you want to take a break? Brothers can't hold on!"
On the road to Youzhou, a large-scale iron cavalry raised huge dust.
"No!" Yelu Xiu Ge shook his head and said, "Youzhou City has been surrounded, and the Tang people have many conspiracies and tricks, and they cannot be delayed for a moment."
"Youzhou, Guo Rong has never been broken before, so why was it taken down in such a short time!"
The deputy general said in confusion: "Besides, we are running around day and night, and my brothers are afraid they are not physically strong."
"Hmph!" Yelu Xiu Ge looked at the army behind him and couldn't help but snorted coldly. The army today is so depraved, and it looks like this. No wonder the Tang people bullied them.
"It's really worse than it is every year. I was full of energy when hunting, but now it's really not possible. If Youzhou is lost, you may never be able to hunt leisurely again."
Under the constraints of Yelu Xiuge, 30,000 cavalry continued to move forward reluctantly to help Youzhou, Nanjing.
He couldn't help but remember the eager expectation of Dahan: "Brother Xiu, it depends on you. It would be fine if Youzhou really can't be taken back, but Xiao Siwen and his daughter Yanyan must be rescued!"
Although I feel that Dahan is a little affectionate and does not like the grassland tribe, it is much better than the indifference and cruelty of the previous King of Sleeping, and it makes people feel at ease.
"Forget it!" Yelu Xiu Ge shook his head helplessly. Youzhou and Xiao Yanyan always have to save one, right?
Along the way, I went south from Shangjing, through Xingzhong Prefecture, Jinzhou, and then through Runzhou, Laizhou and Yingzhou. I finally arrived in Pingzhou.
This is the location of Liaoxing Town.
"Stop!"
Yelu Xiu Ge looked at Pingzhou City and couldn't help but frown, causing the army to stop entering the city.
"General, what's wrong here? There is no Tang army!" the deputy general said in confusion.
Yelu Xiuge was named General Tang. As the vanguard, the army behind him had to rely on Yelu Xian and the Jingdong Center to summon warriors from various tribes. All this took time.
Therefore, his forward is the top priority.
"What's wrong!" Yelu Xiu Ge whispered. He looked at the city as usual and the people couldn't help but say, "It's too clean, everything is too neat."
"From Jinzhou and Yingzhou, which city does not have many mules and horses, a lot of feces, and a bad smell. The gate of Pingzhou is so clean, something is absolutely wrong."
"Did you say there is a Tang army?" The deputy general said in surprise: "This is impossible. They came here over Youzhou? Or did they conquer Youzhou?"
"Do we want to call in directly?"
"Do you think this is the grassland?" Yelu Xiu Ge said speechlessly. He raised his hand and said, "Running in is just looking for death, so that everyone can get fast!"
Soon, the 30,000 army stopped the horse's hooves and turned the direction.
"This--" Cao Bin in the city was shocked. He couldn't believe it: "This Khitan dog has a very sensitive nose!"
Yang Shifan was also shocked. They were so decisive that they didn’t have time to chase him. It was amazing.
"Admiral Cao, what should we do? Keep chasing us?" Yang Shifan asked. Although he commanded the heavy cavalry, the emperor's intention made him listen to Cao Bin. He had no choice but to obey.
"If we catch up with ten thousand light cavalry and ten thousand heavy cavalry, we can only die. With the level of this Khitan general, we should not be underestimated."
"I'm afraid he's waiting for us to chase him!"
"This barbarian is really treacherous!" Yang Shifan shook his head, quite helpless.
"Now, just stay here!" Cao Bin said softly: "I took a look just now. Although it was a cavalry and no infantry, it would be impossible to attack the city. Although Pingzhou City is small, it is no less than a natural chasm for the Khitans."
"Then, what if he went south and went from Luanzhou?" Yang Shifan said in a deep voice.
"Then it just happened to be closing the door and hitting the dog!"
Cao Bin smiled and said, "When Pingzhou and Luanzhou are in hand, it will be really not easy for him to slip away with his tens of thousands of troops."
Yelu Xiu Ge looked at the peaceful Pingzhou City in the distance and couldn't help but feel disappointed: "I never thought that this group of people were so cautious."
Now, he is in a dilemma, which is really boring.
However, he still had a military awareness and knew that Luanzhou had the importance of Yingzhou. He sent troops to guard the retreat, and then scouted Guangsa in Pingzhou City to find out the news.
After staying for two days, he finally received the news that the city of Youzhou was destroyed and all officials were captured. He was very surprised: "Youzhou City has a certain strong city in the whole world, how could it be taken down so easily?"
I asked some more scouts, all of whom were thunder. Under the thunderous lightning, a section of the city wall fell down in the entire Youzhou City, revealing the urn.
Of course, he also heard that the cavalry outside the city were crushed and destroyed by the Tang cavalry and completely defeated, so that the Tang army was considered a frontal siege.
"What a mess!"
Yelu Xiu Ge was really confused. All kinds of messy news were everywhere. Many tribes kept migrating out of fear of the Tang army.
It was not until this time that he realized that his trip was really in vain.
How could he be willing?
It is a joke that the Tang cavalry defeated the Khitan cavalry head-on. For decades, when did the Khitan cavalry fail? Even Yang Ye was just a sneak attack.
"Youzhou cannot be saved, Xiao Yanyan is probably dead. I can't go home empty-handed!"
Yelu Xiuge thought about it over and over again and felt that he could not give up like this. He left some people to defend the city and led more than 20,000 people straight to Youzhou.
Even if you can't save people, you have to see what's going on. Anyway, the cavalry can't catch them even if they come and go like the wind.
He is really not afraid of riding against riding.
"Not good!" Cao Bin was frightened when he heard the scout's words: "Now there are only infantry in Youzhou, and all the cavalry are gone, wouldn't he be able to boast about it?"
Even if you can't save people, you have to see what's going on. Anyway, the cavalry can't catch them even if they come and go like the wind.
He is really not afraid of riding against riding.
