According to Liao Shanhe's report, after the capture of Runzhou, the harvest of the northward army was unimaginable.

Among them, the Tang Dynasty's various treasures exceeded one million, and the proportion of unmarried or widowed women also reached an astonishing 4,000.

The most important thing is that more than 20,000 war horses have been collected, of which more than 100 are at the BMW level.

The Khitan people are a people on horseback, and there is a princess living in the city all the year round, and there are many princes and nobles who follow her.

Generally speaking, where the powerful gather, there are more things such as wealth, beauties, and BMWs.

It is no exaggeration to say that this time he broke through Runzhou City, Li Zhongyi made a lot of money!

In particular, when Li Zhongyi heard that hundreds of carriages had been captured, he couldn't help but squint his eyes, the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, the means of transport were complete, and the looted things could be sent to the warship in a steady stream.

Two days later, after the rectification of order in Runzhou City, Li Zhongyi arranged for Liao Shanhe to guard Yuguan.

Nanjing Road and Zhongjing Road, the only closest section of the road, is through Yuguan. As long as the Yuguan Pass, which is easy to defend and difficult to attack, is not lost, the entire Zhongjing Road is like an undefended peerless fruit beauty, completely exposed in front of his eyes.

In addition to military strength and strategy, what is more important is the psychological advantage under the winning streak.

This is like the national football team back then, in a few decades, the South Korean team will not win!

In the face of the Khitan State, which was strong and easily broke through Kaifeng City, most of the rulers of the Central Plains regime in successive dynasties had a fear mentality.

If it is said. Li Zhongyi pacified the Goryeo and Northwest Party Items, and gained great prestige. So. Go deep into the hinterland of the Khitan and win consecutive battles. It also pushed his prestige in the army to the top of no one's reach.

For decades, the powerful Khitan iron cavalry frequently went south to fight the grass valley, as if entering a no-man's land, and the army of the Central Plains regime rarely won victories.

The commander of an army can only command his subordinates to move from victory to victory. Only by moving from glory to greater glory can we be qualified to gain the true convincing of the officers and men of the whole army.

The army has always been a paradise for the strong and a grave for the weak.

When the heavy reward was awarded, not to mention the soldiers of Yulin's right guard, even the officers and soldiers of the Flying Dragoon who were not descendants, as long as Li Zhongyi was mentioned. couldn't help but give a thumbs up, and admired with a smile on his face: "Handsome and mighty!" ”

Once the morale of the soldiers is raised, the ** who seeks to fight will become more and more intense.

Think about it too. Only won Yuguan and Runzhou, and the robes have already shared a lot of good things in their pockets, if they sweep the entire Zhongjing Road. What would it be like?

Morale could not be discouraged, and Li Zhongyi actively responded to the calls of the officers and men. Arranged three grass valley teams and left Runzhou. Gallop in the hinterland of the Nakakyo Road, looting in all directions.

When he set out from Yuguan, Li Zhongyi brought out a total of 5,000 infantry troops and 8,000 cavalry troops, totaling 13,000 soldiers and horses.

Gao Xiaode led an army of 3,000 flying dragoons out of the west gate of Runzhou, responsible for plundering the small Khitan tribes between Yuguan and Runzhou.

Po Chaoyong led 2,000 flying dragoons and 1,000 party cavalry to plunder the wealth north of Runzhou.

Li Zhongyi personally led 2,000 party cavalry and 2,000 cavalry troops of Yulin Right Guard, and took the initiative to attack eastward, sweeping away the nomadic tribes from Runzhou to Qianzhou.

After Gao Xiaode and quite Chaoyong led the troops out of the city happily, Li Zhongyi did not leave immediately, there were still a large number of administrative and military affairs in the city, and he needed to make a decision in person.

In the side hall of the princess's mansion, after the little lady Zhu'er served tea, she did not leave immediately, but stood obediently to the right side of Li Zhongyi.

Yang Lie picked up the teacups on a few cases, took a sip, and then said slowly: "After a rough screening, only about thirty percent of the Han slaves and civilians in the city can be used. Even if it's these three percent, they are all worried about the same thing, what should we do after our army retreats? ”

Well, this is indeed a problem, Li Zhongyi played with the tea cup in his hand, squinted his eyes, stared at the scorching sun outside the hall, and began to habitually wander.

Fighting local tyrants and dividing the land is not necessarily a one-size-fits-all truth!

In the hinterland of the Khitans, even if Li Zhongyi distributed the land and pastures of the entire Runzhou City to the local lowly Han people, when the army withdrew, would he be able to defend it?

The "Homecoming Regiment", composed of the regular army of the Khitan State, is by no means a powerful force that thousands of Han slaves who have little combat effectiveness can resist!

When he was in Lingzhou in the northwest, Li Zhongyi arranged Han slaves and hacked the party slave owners to death, and the distribution of land had no trouble.

However, the situation in Runzhou is completely different, and the division of land and pasture will kill the slaves who have turned over.

"If these people are sent to the northwest, I'm afraid it won't be easy." Yang Lie pondered carefully, but the fate of the Han slaves in Runzhou City was at a loss.

Li Zhongyi retracted his gaze looking into the distance at this time, and said with a faint smile: "My land in China, although it has long been divided, but there are still a lot of borderless lands on the side of Goryeo." ”

Although the Great Zhou Empire is vast and has a lot of people, at the beginning of the founding of the People's Republic of China, Emperor Taizu Gao Guo Wei had already distributed a large amount of ownerless fertile land to the people.

With Li Zhongyi's power, if he wants to forcibly insert a pole in a certain place and seize a large piece of land, it is not impossible.

The problem is that it is easy to divide the land, but it is even more difficult to regain the land, and it is very likely that you will get the land and lose your good reputation!

As Li Zhongyi, who has risen to become one of the pillars of the empire in just five years, he will never do the stupid thing of picking up sesame seeds and throwing away watermelons.

Yang Lie had actually been waiting for Li Zhongyi to express this attitude for a long time, although there were many people and few places in the territory of Goryeo, there were thousands of large and small islands off the coast of Goryeo.

The largest of them, Ganghwa Island, is only a hundred miles away from Kaegyeong, the heartland of Goryeo.

Let the robbed Khitans, Xi people, and Han people go to compete with the Goryeo people for the capital of survival, and Yang Lie and Li Zhongyi cannot have any psychological burden.

People are good and are bullied, and the country is weak and let others share, this is the real law that exists in the world and has been running so far!

Li Zhongyi stretched out his second finger and tapped on top of several cases, making a trembling sound, and looked at Yang Lie with a smile: "Bai Xing, do you want to leave me a way out?" ”

Yang Lie already knew that his little bit of caution was not as good as Li Zhongyi, and he couldn't help but sigh softly: "As the old saying goes, no poison is not a husband." It's a pity, teacher, you are not Han Gaozu, alas, and Xiang Bawang's desire to share his father is indeed shocking. ”

"Sailing against the current, if you don't advance, you will retreat, don't I know?" Li Zhongyi stood up for a long time, walked to the door of the side hall, and stood with his hands in his hands, "You must know, if you want to hurry, you can't reach it." ”

Yang Lie glanced at the little lady who had been silent, and suddenly laughed softly: "Listen to her words, watch her deeds, and plan before acting, which is the best policy." ”

Li Zhongyi turned his head back, just in time to meet Yang Lie's happy smile, the master and apprentice looked at each other and smiled, hehe, everything is in a word! (To be continued......)
