Chapter 375 (2/2)
After Pinglu Jiedu envoy was attacked by Li Chengye, Liao's defense was empty. With ambition, yelyabaoji had long coveted the fertile land of Liao and Han cities.
Therefore, we decisively enter western Liaoning and occupy Liaohe plain, Yingzhou and Western Liaoning Corridor. He defeated the local giants, but did not kill them all. Instead, he succumbed to the local forces friendly to the Han people and sincerely hired them to join the ruling system as bureaucrats.
Although the local aristocratic gentry saw that yelyabaoji was a foreign race, they were polite to the virtuous and corporal, took the initiative to learn the advanced culture of the Han people, and treated them more sincerely than Pinglu, so they resolutely joined and attached to it.
The national policy of the Tang Dynasty is national integration. The Han people in this era do not have such a strong national consciousness. As long as they identify with their own culture, they can be regarded as their own people.
In fact, the attack on Yanyun was not the idea of Yelu abaoji himself, but the persuasion of Han bureaucrats in western Liaoning.
Therefore, when Wei Ran did such a big thing behind Khitan, yeluabaoji will immediately give up the offensive against Yanyun and go north to Yinshan. He may even be trying to ambush himself.
However, Wei Ran always put intelligence first in his use of troops. He will send troops only after he has mastered the actual intelligence and has estimated that he has a certain chance of winning. So when he was ravaging the grassland, he arranged for a Li to go to Yanyun to contact his father, Li Chengye, to learn about the enemy's intelligence.
He has long been used to taking ah Li as the most trusted scouts, although ah Li clearly expressed his opposition.
Now her cultivation has reached the level of a great master. She can enter the realm of heaven and man with only a sudden enlightenment. Therefore, when you become a fox, you can run faster than a galloping horse. Your endurance has its own heaven and earth, and your aura can be supplemented at any time. It is very deep and thick, which is unmatched by a war horse.
At this time, Wei Ran occupied the camp of a Khitan noble tribe. Those who dared to resist were cleaned up, and those who could run were allowed to escape. Wei Ran was not interested in killing the captured old, weak, sick and disabled, but could become a burden to Khitan.
According to the agreed world, ah Li should be able to return today. He is not afraid that ah Li can't find the Fenglin army that destroys everywhere like the horse bandits on the grassland, because they have telepathy between them, and ah Li also knows the art. He left a mark on Wei Ran's body and can sense the position at any time.
Li Jianxing is roasting mutton on a campfire. This Khitan noble tribe is very rich, with tens of thousands of cattle, sheep and horses. Except for the war horses, Wei Ran only took enough for his army for five days. He killed all the others and would not leave them to his opponents.
”Hey, brother, the Khitan tribe is too soft. Except for those who are acclimatized, there have never been casualties in direct combat. It's boring. You see, I haven't learned anything except a good technique of slaughtering cattle and sheep and roasting cattle and mutton. ”
”Then I really brought you here for nothing. You didn't remember the key points of marching, camping, identifying geography, predicting climate and customs? Well, don't eat. Take this memo and don't want to eat unless you recite it well! ”
Wei Ran took out from his arms the daily march log written during this period of time. In addition to the above contents, he also drew a map for reference when entering the grassland in the future.
Princess Shouning and bu Lanshan looked at the interaction between the two brothers. They couldn't help looking at each other and smiled. She said, ”it's true that the third childe's roast mutton technology has improved, and he's still young. The eldest childe doesn't have to be so critical of him.”
Princess Shouning went out with the army. Although she was a woman, she learned more seriously than Li Jianxing. She will extract one of Wei Ran's daily marching log, and will recite it carefully during the rest every day. After observing Wei Ran's leading actions, she has mastered many key points.
