Chapter 1082
The further north the land becomes more and more desolate, with weeds everywhere, and the land is deserted. There are many dry rivers, but more are abandoned thatched huts.
Li Jia looked at all this and knew that it was right to choose to walk along the Fen River.
From Qinshui, the area of hundreds of miles is deserted and drought. It is much better to reach Fen River. If you follow the diameter, there is not so much water supply along the way.
The 50,000 troops and the surrendered troops transporting food and grass were extremely eager for water sources.
Looking around, it was deserted along the way. You should know that the land of Hedong had been renovated as early as the Warring States Period. In the Sui and Tang Dynasties, it was the Northern Capital of the Former Tang Dynasty. During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms periods, it gave birth to the Later Tang, Later Jin and Later Han Dynasty.
That is, the so-called Daibei Military Group, the military group that combines the Shatuo people and the Han people, and the reduced version of the Guanlong Group.
Regarding the emperor's feelings, Cao Bin, who was standing by, couldn't help but explain: "Since Emperor Shizong of Zhou, Zhao Yi Army and Hebei provinces have decided on strategies to plunder the people over the years. During the Song Dynasty, customization was formed, and the people of Hedong were plundered every year."
"A few years ago, when Song State made a northern expedition, it plundered thousands of households and went south at one time. After hearing Li Jixun's words, he also plundered thousands of households over the years. There was a shortage of Dingkou, no soldiers available in the Northern Han Dynasty, and no food to be conquered. There was almost no ten people south of Taiyuan!"
"I see!"
Li Jia nodded and said, "The method is good. It can be said that the firewood is removed from the bottom of the pot. Over time, the Northern Han Dynasty will defeat it without attacking it."
No wonder it is recorded in history that at the end of the Northern Han Dynasty, there were only 30,000 households in the twelve prefectures. It turned out that the Northern Song Dynasty implemented the so-called reduction of taxes and was decisive and direct.
Soon, there were flying sand and stones, tens of thousands of cavalry, and infantry, almost all mules and horses. Once the speed was not limited, it would accelerate immediately, reaching fifty miles a day.
By June 15, Li Jia had already conquered Qinzhou and arrived at the border of Taiyuan Prefecture, Nanguan Town, and Lutai.
At this point, it is less than two hundred miles away from Taiyuan.
The prefectures and counties along the way are not considered wars at all, they can only be considered as marching urgently.
The prefectures and county governments quickly opened the door to surrender, and the people hurriedly greeted them.
Whether it is money or food, they are willing to provide it with all their strength. The only request is that the army should not rob the people.
To borrow an old man's cry, "Taxes are collected every month, and the summer grain is collected by the court as soon as it is dried. Now only the crop is planted, and the weather is relatively dry, so there is nothing at all."
Li Jia was also quite sad, and he said bluntly: "This trip was originally intended to recapture the Northern Han Dynasty, unify the world, and allow the people to live and work in peace and contentment. If someone does not follow the military rules and plunder themselves, he will kill them--"
