Chapter 1267 Peeking at Tang Fa

Yelu Xianshi's words made everyone calm.

The cunning of the Tang people left a deep impression on everyone, so as soon as Yelu Xianshi spoke, everyone immediately thought about it, suspecting that this was the Tang people's conspiracy.

"Khan, please see--"

Immediately, Yelu Xianshi brought a table and a chair, and a simple map was presented.

There are no mountains and rivers, only the Yellow River, as well as big cities such as Youzhou and Luoyang, and the outline of the country is also relatively blurred.

But this has already made people understand.

Yelu Xianshi took out the notes that had been thought about, then looked at Yelu Xian and said:

"The Khan, my subordinates have been analyzing the Tang people's tactics over the past two years. After repeated investigations, they discovered a huge inertia!"

"oh?"

Yelu Xian said in surprise: "Let me tell me quickly, can there be any flaws in the Tang people?"

"As long as we understand the Tang people's tactics, we can naturally take fewer strategies and even use them!"

Yelu Wuzhi also raised his chin and said seriously.

The defeat in the Battle of Youzhou still makes the Khitan tribes still scared and even feel a little afraid of war.

Li Cunxu once defeated Yelu Abaoji, and even the Later Jin, Later Han, and Later Zhou, the Khitans did not allow the Khitans to take advantage of any advantage, so the Khitans have always been very afraid of the Central Plains.

Now tens of thousands of people have been killed or injured, which is unforgettable for the Khitan, which has a very small population.

Yelu Wuzhi saw it in his eyes and was anxious in his heart.

Only by defeating the Tang people can we truly establish the Khitan's unyielding overlord status.

He respectfully bowed to Yelu Wuzhi, and Yelu Xianshi then said:

"I have observed the Tang Emperor's several battles, and he is very good at using the tactics of splitting troops and attacking together."

"When he was conquering the Song State, he started from Guanzhong, Jianghuai, Hubei, and even Shandong, and the four places together, making Zhao Kuangyin dizzy."

"Then, Zhao Kuangyin's troops are inferior to those of the Tang Kingdom, and he can also attack them separately!"

Gao Xun, who was standing beside him, couldn't help but say curiously.

"So that's what Zhao Kuangyin thought!"

Yelu Xianshi sighed and said, "It's a pity that even if the troops were divided into attacks, even Shandong, Jianghuai and Huai were blocked. Once Guanzhong was broken, the entire chessboard would be completely finished."

"No matter how good the sheep pen is, there is only one gap, and it cannot withstand the hungry group of wolves!"

"Then, why did the Tang people win?"

Yelu Xian frowned and said, "He felt that his current situation was somewhat similar to Zhao Kuangyin, although he was extremely reluctant to admit this."

"In terms of military strength, Zhao Kuangyin's 200,000 imperial troops fought south and north, and even we had to be cautious when we met, but we were defeated by a group of weak southern soldiers."

"The Khan, the State of Song is not actually deprived of its military strength. On the contrary, both generals and soldiers defeated it with Song. Moreover, there were tens of thousands of elite cavalry, which was far inferior to the Tang army."

Yelu Xianshi shook his head and said, "But the key is that the Song people did not defeat their troops in a short time, forming a confrontation."

"The State of Song is broken, the treasury is empty, and the army of 200,000 has been trying to support it for more than two months. I heard that Zhao Kuangyin forced merchants to offer money and reselled the palace gold and silver, and was so embarrassed-"

"On the contrary, the Tang people did not lack money and grain. The grain from the south of the Yangtze River was continuously transported by the Yangtze River. After years of preparation, they hoarded a large amount of money and grain, which killed the Song people."

Hearing this, everyone was worried and couldn't help but feel frightened.

Although the Khitan is different from the Song people, the principles are still the same.

Khitan soldiers usually have no money and pay, and they rely on the grass and valley to obtain them. They have very little supplies and are also robbed.

Fight and rob the whole way.

Even in a civil war, the family wealth, slaves, and ranch of the losers will be divided by the winners.

This war is basically within western Liaoning, Liaodong, and the country, so it naturally needs supply. We can't let the army fight grass valley!

You should know that many Han people and Bohai people are also in the army, and there are still few, who plunder their families and want them to fight?

Naturally, these must be provided by the imperial court and relied on taxes to deal with.

But……

Yelu Xian's face was gloomy and sunny. He asked Yelu Wu: "How many soldiers gathered in Shangjing at present?"

"About 200,000 troops from various tribes are also pouring in."

Yelu Wuzhi shook his head and said, "The grassland near Shangjing has been gnawed into wasteland, and there is no grassroots."

These people brought their own dry food into the army, which means they drove cattle and sheep away.

Two hundred thousand people, hundreds of thousands, or even millions of cattle and sheep, what a large number of these are, and naturally they cannot be raised in Shangjing.

When Yelu Xian thought that his private ranch near Shangjing had been eaten up, he couldn't help but feel a little heartbroken.

“Divide most people out.”

Yelu Xian waved his hand and said.

"Khan, I haven't finished talking yet!" Yelu Xianshi said helplessly.

"Then you keep going!"

"In terms of money and food, we are very similar to the Song people. The Tang people probably want to exhaust their supplies and let us collapse without fighting."

Yelu Xianshi held the fan and couldn't help but say in a deep voice.

"This is impossible!"

Gao Xun shook his head and said, "We are different from the Song people. In Liaodong, millions of farmers produce millions of stones of grain every year, and there are also a large number of cattle and sheep in the pastures."

"We are not afraid of confrontation consumption."

As he said that, Gao Xun showed a hint of pride: "When October is coming, the cold winter is approaching, and the snow is three feet thick. At that time, the Tang army will definitely retreat without fighting. We can take advantage of the victory and take it back to Youzhou City--"

"Ahem cough cough--" Yelu Xian was really choked by these words.

The Tang people were not cold-resistant, and they were not necessarily very strong, let alone attacking the city, so they would not die!

At this moment, many people felt that King Zhao was really confused.

Han Kuangsi couldn't help but smile bitterly, feeling that he had to stay away from him.

"Liaodong is here, so you are naturally not afraid of money and food!"

Speaking of this, Yelu Xian couldn't help but raise his voice: "What if Liaodong is gone? Or is it falling into chaos?"

For a moment, the whole hall was silent.

In the felt tent, everyone was stunned.

"The Tang Dynasty attacked Song Dynasty, attacked in separate ways, and cut off its canals, which made Bianliang short of food."

"And, in the Battle of Youzhou, the Tang soldiers divided into three groups, Monan, Youzhou, and Liaodong——"

"Although we defeated these ten thousand people, what if the number reaches 100,000?"

Yelu Xianshi couldn't stop asking.

These words were loud and loud.

No one, including Yelu Xian, could imagine this scene.

A hundred thousand troops were spread all over the mountains and fields, scattering them all over Liaodong. Not to mention conquering cities and territories, as long as the rice is burned and the pastures are destroyed, Liaodong will be really ruined.

"You mean, the Wild Jurchens, the Jurchens?"

Yelu Xian was originally a wise man, and he immediately thought of it.

"These Jurchens and Goryeo are actually behind the Tang people, and the Tang army is driving them!"

"This is a conspiracy, and the Tang people are ready to attack our granary!"

"The Khan, my subordinates think that if you defend the south and attack the east, defend the western Liaoning, and suppress the Jurchens, you must not let those Jurchens spread! "

Yelu Xian said hurriedly.

Others nodded.

"Report—"

At this time, a messenger came.

"What?" Yelu Xian asked hurriedly.
