I became the son of Renzong

Chapter 908 No Winter
"Family letters are worth ten thousand gold! Du Gongbu's poems are most fully expressed at this time."

One month after another round of deployment by the imperial court, the imperial court finally received a report about the Yelu Yixin rebels.They are all reports of border towns, border troops, and border villages.

Letters are delivered at post stations, which are delivered separately with reference to the information of the Imperial City Department.

This was originally the military strategy of the country, and the court also directly used the military post delivery method.

The reports from the border are all in the same tone... After the surviving rebels received the letter from home, all the rebels knelt down to Bianliang, and then there was a burst of wailing...
Even Yelu Yixin locked himself in the house when he received a letter from his family... After all, he was once the king of Wei in Beiliao, the privy envoy, and the frontier army still gave Yelu Yixin a slap in the face when he received the letter from his family. Preferential treatment, even leaving the dormitory of the commander of the frontier village to Yelu Yixin.

The Khitan people who beat the Khitan people for the Song Dynasty should be thankful for everything, right?
The nobles of the Northern Liao Dynasty knew a lot of Chinese, and it was even a common phenomenon.Therefore, most of the letters are in Chinese, even if someone uses Khitan, the court will not care about it...
Whether true or false, all the letters focus on the novelty of coming to Da Song, and talk about some daily trivial matters... What they don't know is that this is the most heart-wrenching content.

For example, the size of the house allocated to them by the Song Dynasty, what they bought on the market, the Song court arranged for them to go to work, and the children started to go to school, etc. These may not be a big deal to the family members who are already stable, but just talk about it. some facts.

But for those rebels who are fighting outside, they are the most intriguing.I am already like this, it is nothing more than death, and if I can give some credit to my family members, it is considered a worthy death.

Therefore, after a proper rest, those rebels who were no longer sacrificing their lives embarked on a journey again, wreaking havoc throughout the territory of Beiliao and becoming organized horse bandits.

When regular cavalry turned into horse bandits, no matter in terms of combat effectiveness or damage, they were by no means comparable to ordinary horse bandits.

When the rebels no longer aimed at conquering the city, but turned to fleeing from east to west, and from north to south, even the Northern Liao court felt at a loss.

The rebels are easy to suppress, but the horse bandits are hard to destroy.The purpose of the concentration of the rebels is to attack the city and occupy the territory. As long as the superior forces are concentrated, the rebels can be completely wiped out.Just like before.

The horse bandits live in no fixed place, and the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty is too vast, and the number of soldiers owned by the imperial court makes it difficult to encircle the horse bandits of the Yelv Yixin rebels in the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty... It is too fragmented .

Moreover, these so-called horse bandits are not real horse bandits, they don't care about property, even the supplies can be ignored, they just blindly destroy and harm Beiliao.

The territories of the tribal leaders of the Northern Liao court, the territories of the royal family and the descendants, including the remaining twelve prefectures of Yanyun, were all ravaged by Yelu Yixin's rebels.

"The old man really understands what the officials said. If one day, Guochao takes over the territory north of Yanshan Yinshan Mountain, there is really no choice but to use the barbarians to control the barbarians."

After so many years, Guochao has indeed exaggerated the role of chariots, and even thought they were invincible.After seeing Yelu Yixin's report on the time when he harmed the territory of the Northern Liao Dynasty, he finally discovered that the combat power of the cavalry was still at the top.

Wang Anshi was really amazed at the ability of Yelu Yixin's part of the rebel army, and also marveled at the damaging power of the cavalry to a court.The idea of ​​using the invincibility of the chariot to rule the entire grassland nomadic tribe in the future was completely shattered by Yelu Yixin's approach.

It was originally thought that after the Great Song Dynasty regained Yanshan Yinshan in the future, by placing chariots in the north of Yanshan Yinshan and roaming on the grassland, they would be able to effectively rule the grassland, and even against cavalry, they would be completely invincible.

Now it seems that it is taken for granted.

"The terrain is different. There are many states and cities in the country. Whether it is cavalry, horse-drawn carriages, or even pedestrians, the roads that can pass are fixed. Even cavalry, if they want to cause such a disaster in the territory of Song Dynasty, they will definitely be wiped out. result."

"The weather is also different. It's already mid-spring, and the climate in Beiliao is more or less suitable for camping in the wilderness. If it's winter, the weather can wipe out this part of the rebels without the Beiliao court's siege."

"Human harmony is also different. No matter what, whether it is Yelu Yixin or the rebel generals under him, they were all high-ranking officials and dignitaries in the former Northern Liao court. The dignitaries are always in awe, so it is inevitable to give them convenience."

What Yelu Yixin did really surprised Song Chaotang.For this reason, Zhang Dun had many discussions with Wang Shao and the Ministry of War and the Privy Council, and even went to the lecture hall many times to harass the elderly Di Qing, Zhong Ya, Guo Kui and others. Even the frontier generals also participated in this. discussion.

In the end, it draws a conclusion about the right time, place and people and these three aspects.To put it bluntly, there is no possibility of overwintering with the actions of Yelv Yixin, the part of the rebel army.

The saying that there is no fixed place to live in the Northern Liao Dynasty does not include winter.In the territory of Beiliao, there is no fixed number of so-called roads and no fixed number of places of residence.However, there are indeed a number of places where people can spend the winter.

No matter which Jingdao or tribe, there are countless places that can escape the winter wind and snow, and they can all be called settlements.

In winter, Baimaofeng can't handle it casually.

"Then how do they spend the winter?"

Han Zhen was really naive.

"There is no winter!"

Zhang Dun was very rude.

In Zhang Dun's view, the court of the Northern Liao Dynasty would never allow such a disaster to last for a whole year.The battle continued for a year last year, and if it continued for another year this year, no matter how strong the foundation of Beiliao was, it would not be able to withstand such a toss.

Supplies are on the one hand, and war horses are on the other. No war horse can continue to fight like this.Two years... The rotation of the war horses of the Northern Liao Dynasty is estimated to be stretched.

"No winter?"

"This rebel army probably knows that there will be no winter, so they work so hard. Let's plan for a better future for their families. Another point is that they hope to use this kind of unscrupulous disaster to win over the Northern Liao Dynasty. Their trust, so that there is a possibility that the government will be tolerant to them."

"The most important thing is that even if it is broken into parts, it is still fighting. With more than 5 cavalry, how many cavalry will there be left in winter?"

Indeed, from the letters sent back through the post every time, it can be seen that Yelu Yixin's team is gradually decreasing... It is inevitable.

How many people can be left for a year under the environment of war, disease, and injury?
It's a pity that I can't talk about sympathy.If this lasts longer, Guochao will be able to prepare more fully.
