"Great! Attaboy! ”

Gao Huaide raided Youzhou, three arrows to capture the enemy's courage!

Frightened, Yerusha closed his door and didn't dare to attack, sitting on 70,000 horses, he could only sit in the city of sorrow, what a waste of dim sum!

The morale of the Great Zhou became more and more high, and the rest of Yang Ye, Fu Zhaoxin, Wang Tingyi and others also followed suit and swept away. Wherever Zhou Bing passed, the Khitans couldn't shrink back, making the big guy cry out and be excited.

"These little cubs are still too tender and get carried away!"

The veteran Wang Jing warned, "The Khitans don't send troops, they are waiting, the weather is too hot now, their soldiers and horses are going south, they are easy to be infected with the heat, if there is a plague, tens of thousands of troops will only be killed and wounded, and there will be no one left!"

Therefore, the Khitans will definitely wait until autumn, when the war horses are fat and strong, and the soldiers are high, and then they will go south. As long as they can hold Youzhou now, they will have the capital to turn the tables, on the contrary, we have been fighting for a few months, although the Hou Ye pays attention to repairs, but don't forget, we are attacking in the Khitan territory, the longer the battle line, the greater the loss on the road, sooner or later someone will be sleepy and tired, and the follow-up will be weak. ”

Liu Ci also criticized unceremoniously: "The little cubs rely on their blood and bravery, if they can't win the battle like this, they will be calculated by others!" Master Hou, you have to get an idea quickly. ”

is worthy of being a veteran of the battlefield, their analysis is very reasonable, whether it is the Chai Rong Northern Expedition in history, or Zhao Er's two Northern Expeditions, the Khitans have chosen to retreat in great strides and put the battle line in the Youzhou area. After the soldiers and horses of the Central Plains were tired in the early stage, the Khitans recuperated their strength, waited for the time to be ripe, and fought back.

This kind of tactic of waiting for work at ease, Ye Hua has long seen through it.

He captured Yizhou and then attacked Zhuozhou, hoping to attract the main Khitan force to the south and fight them in advance.

But the problem is that Yelusha of Youzhou is a coward and can't defend it, Xiao Siwen is an old fox, he is still north of the Qinghe River, and the two sides combined, more than 100,000 people, are each other's horns, and it is not easy to take Youzhou or defeat Xiao Siwen.

As the commander of the three armed forces, Ye Hua can't just look at the victory in one place, he must look at the overall situation in order to come up with the best way.

"We're going to force the Khitans to fight!"

Ye Hua said in a firm tone!

The two veterans showed curious looks, the Khitans made it clear that they couldn't defend it, what could Ye Hua do?

"It's also a stupid way to say, I want to destroy the Khitan foundation in Yanyun!"

Ye Hua said with a smile: "After the Khitan stole Yanyun, they initially relied on strong suppression, running around and staking land, making the heavens angry and resentful, and later they learned from the Central Plains, adopted the southern official system, and even introduced the imperial examination to take scholars, envelop the powerful families on the ground, and help them stabilize Yanyun, and over the decades, they have achieved initial results." ”

Wang Jing bowed, "What Master Hou said is extremely true, so we want to envelop these powerful families, give them better treatment, let them take refuge in Da Zhou, and work for us?" ”

Liu Ci said happily: "Okay, this method is good, what the Khitan can give, we will double it!" Compared with spending money, can Da Zhou still be afraid of the Khitan? ”

The two veterans looked at each other and laughed, thinking that Ye Hua would definitely do this. On the contrary, it was Zhao Er behind Ye Hua, who pouted disapplausively, what a bullshit idea, I have already done it, the master did not agree at all, look, the master must have another way! Wait and get your jaws dropped!

Sure enough, Ye Hua smiled and shook his head, "Those powerful clans are jackals that can't be fed, they are capricious, they only have interests in their hearts, no matter how much they give them, they will not be grateful." And my Da Zhou's money, which is people's fat and people's ointment, can it be used to raise these beasts? ”

"This!" The two veterans were silent, of course they didn't want to, but the question was that if it didn't cost money, could there be any other way?

"Grant the field!"

Ye Hua said very clearly: "Where the army passes, the land of the Khitan nobles and gentry and wealthy families will be immediately confiscated, and the land will be divided equally among all the people according to the population, and it will be announced to the world that the people who have fled from Yanyun to the Central Plains can get the land free of charge when they return to their hometowns!" ”

"Instead of trying to win over the gentry above, it is better to respond directly to the demands of the common people, give them land, let them see the benefits of expelling the Khitans, and encourage them to join the army...... As long as more and more people are on our side, we will be able to save transportation costs and get intelligence support. ”

"And after the Han people under the rule of the Khitan see it, they will also have their hearts set on the Great Zhou, and it is bound to be north of Youzhou, and there will be more righteous people, and then they will send a Hu killing team to attack and harass the Khitan back road. We will be able to take the initiative into our hands! When the time comes, the Khitans will not be able to send troops if they don't want to! ”

Ye Hua sacrificed the big killing weapon of granting the field.

Zhao Er's eyes lit up, he had seen with his own eyes that Guo Wei relied on the land grant order to gain a firm foothold in the Central Plains all of a sudden, and the country manor outside the city did not even have a piece of spare land.

The common people took the land, actively paid grain for service, and within a few years of hard work, the Central Plains recovered its vitality, and commerce and trade prospered, and the people prospered.

If this trick gets Yan Yun, it will definitely be more effective.

The people of Yanyun not only faced the oppression of the local gentry, but also the exploitation of the Khitan, and the excessive taxes and miscellaneous taxes, which were as numerous as cattle hairs, and the burden was extremely heavy.

If someone stands up and helps them clear everything and live a hopeful life, they will definitely gain the support of the people. Their support is far more solid and reliable than that of the gentry!

It's worthy of Master, there is really a way!

Zhao Er threw himself on Ye Hua's five bodies.

But the two veterans were dumbfounded and couldn't accept it, the Khitans were difficult enough to deal with, Ye Hua still wanted to fight the gentry and wealthy clans, wouldn't he be afraid that these people would fight back?

If they stood with the Khitans and fully supported the Khitans, wouldn't it be even more difficult to recover Yanyun.

"Let the gentry support the Khitan to go! I only need the support of the people, and when the time comes, I will see who is more powerful! ”

"Master Hou!" Wang Jing was anxious, "What are the people, they are just ants!" Expecting them to turn the world upside down is simply impossible! ”

"Yes, Master Hou must not be rash, and the court will not agree!" Liu Ci also tried his best to persuade him.

Ye Hua smiled slightly, "Two old generals, let's see what the effect is!" Ye Hua doesn't want to talk nonsense anymore, it's not far from autumn now, if you don't lay a good foundation as soon as possible, how can you win the decisive battle!

Ye Hua decisively ordered the full implementation of the land grant order, and granted Yanyun's land, pastures, and forests to ordinary people. All the officials and gentry who worked for the Khitan were divided into three categories according to their circumstances, and those who helped to abuse and harm the people were all killed; For the rich and unkind, those in the fish and meat village will be deprived of their wealth and the land will be divided equally; Usually behaved in good manners, there was no evil behavior, and after the assessment, he was re-hired as an official.

This order can be described as earth-shattering.

The first person to respond to Ye Hua was Gao Huaide.

Didn't he almost fall into an ambush by the Khitans!

After torture, the person who came to deceive him was called Shen Henan, a famous fur merchant, who bought 100,000 acres of land after making a fortune, and was loyal to the Khitan.

In this Northern Expedition of the Zhou soldiers, Shen Henan took out his family property and recruited 2,000 strong men to help the Khitans, and was willing to be a lackey. He also actively offered advice.

If it weren't for Gao Huaide's carefulness, he would have really been fooled!

"Shameless people, more than innocent death!"

Gao Huaide personally led the men and horses to surround the Shen family's stockade.

Shen Henan is over seventy years old, but his health is excellent, he has two nicknames, one is called "Iron Rooster", and the other is called "Flower Master", although this person is rich, but he will never spend a penny, all of them are used to buy land, usually drink white water, wear coarse cloth, and be thrifty to the point of being stingy.

But such a person, who was willing to spend money, married the wife of the seventh aunt, and on his sixty-sixth birthday, he actually married a sixteen-year-old girl as the eighth room.

Shen Henan usually boasted that a good man overlords nine wives, and he will marry another mother-in-law before he dies. Shen Henan is indeed in good health, he has seven sons, nine girls, and the Shen family is thriving, and his strength is amazing.

He is usually extremely domineering, and his children and grandchildren dare not say a word, so Shen Henan armed all the family members and long-term workers.

"The old man has a full life of happiness and longevity, and his children and grandchildren are full, and he is almost an official!" His eyebrows fluttered and said: "As long as you are loyal to Your Majesty, will Your Majesty still be able to treat the old man badly at that time?" Just reward an official position, the Shen family can change the court, glorify the ancestors, follow me, you can also be promoted to become rich in the future, and the chicken dog will ascend to heaven! ”

……

The old guy patted his chest and assured his men that it was a confident man.

"Master, Zhou Bing is here!" A family member hurriedly reported it.

Shen Henan poked the ground with his cane and scolded angrily, "What are you afraid of, our stockade is made of bluestone to build a foundation, which is stronger than the city wall, and there is so much food, give them three or five months, and they can't get in!" ”

Before Shen Henan could finish speaking, a violent explosion came from outside.

It turned out that Gao Huaide concentrated twenty bed crossbows and bombarded the gate of the village.

The gunpowder exploded, shaking the gate of the village and constantly falling bricks and soil, but the door was not broken for a long time.

"With fire oil!"

Gao Huaide changed his mind.

This is a terrible thing, the gunpowder is not used, but the fire oil falls on the wood, and it burns instantly, and it doesn't take long for the gate to be swallowed up by fierce fire.

Thick smoke and flames, tongues of fire flew, and the untrained Kuding threw away his weapons in fright and fled in all directions.

The sappers in charge of the demolition rushed under the stockade and lit the gunpowder...... Shen Henan's proud wall was torn apart and a big hole was blown out!

"Kill it!"

Gao Huaide took the lead and rushed into the stockade, those family members, long-term workers, short-term workers, where have they seen such a formation, they simply ran away, and knelt on the ground and surrendered if they couldn't run away, trembling and trembling, not to mention how miserable it was.

As for Shen Henan, he couldn't believe it at all, holding a cane in his hand, standing at the door of the house in a daze.

"It's over, it's all over!"

He muttered, suddenly turned around, aimed at the stone lion at the door of the house, slammed into it, and suddenly his brain burst out, and he died tragically on the spot.

Master Shen died, and no one came to collect his body, including several sons, who came out and kicked Daddy's body with their feet, making sure that it was dead.

Several guys knelt at the door together, wept bitterly, and pleaded guilty to Gao Huaide, all of whom were old and immortal, and had nothing to do with them......
