Changsheng Mountain Camp, within the imperial tent.

"Kou Qing, according to your wishes, if my 300,000 troops stay in Liao, the court will be eaten up, right?"

Ma Jin frowned and looked at Kou Zhun with a serious expression. He naturally knew that the expedition of hundreds of thousands of troops was incredible, but he didn't expect that it would be so big that it could even eat up the national treasury. The huge empire could not even pay the salary of hundreds of thousands of troops. In his opinion, it was too incredible.

"Your Majesty, it's a bit exaggerated to say that it's a big exaggeration to say that it's a big lunar month, but it's certain that I have a huge investment in the Great Zhou Dynasty, but there are many places to spend money, such as supervising the creation of fish scale yellow book, reforming salt administration, increasing local organization, recruiting soldiers, and building new states in the south of the territory... etc. That place doesn't require a huge amount of silver!"

"Why is Eiqing mean?" Ma Jin couldn't understand what Kou Zhun meant. Could it be that he wanted to withdraw his troops? This is absolutely impossible. How could he spit out the fat meat in his mouth? He believed that Kou Zhun also understood this truth, so he asked directly.

"When you go back to your Majesty, I think the best way is to let the generals solve the food and grass problems themselves. In this way, not only can the soldiers exercise their muscles and bones, but also reduce the treasury expenses. Why not do it?"

Ma Jin nodded thoughtfully. He naturally understood Kou Zhun's meaning. Isn't it just to use war to support the war? After thinking about it, he said:

"I understand Kou Qing's meaning. If the army can support the war, the court can indeed save a lot of money, then according to my dear wishes."

"Your Majesty is wise!" Kou Zhun hurriedly bowed and bowed.

Three days later, after the army was repaired, Ma Jin held the first Changsheng Mountain Conference in the Changsheng Hall of Lingyun Peak. This conference fundamentally solved the food and salary problem of the Liao army and initially established the basic policy of "large-scale guerrilla warfare" on the Liao grassland.

At the conference, Ma Jin further pointed out:

"After eliminating the main forces under the Liao royal family, the Great Zhou will face a brand new enemy, namely tribal armed forces and a small number of scattered royal armed forces. The battlefield has changed from the previous part to the entire Liao prairie. In this case, the large-scale main battles in the past have become unrealistic, and they have transformed into small-scale guerrilla warfare and raid warfare, so that they can combine with the current situation where the enemy is weak and we are strong, and achieve greater results."

This transformation is unprecedented and unprecedented. Ma Jin strategically affirmed the importance of guerrilla warfare, which played a decisive role in the rapid development of guerrilla warfare in the Great Zhou Dynasty.

After the victory of the meeting, under the guidance of Ma Jin's policy of "fighting to fight" and carrying out large-scale "guerrilla warfare", the cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty divided into countless tributaries with hundreds of cavalry and thousands of cavalry into one team, and started the old task of the Liao Kingdom - robbery.

You should know how powerful the army of the Great Zhou Dynasty was. Even the most elite private army in the tent of the Liao Kingdom was not an opponent, let alone the mobs like tribal troops, and they didn’t even have the qualifications to be opponents. Often, a hundred people could beat tribes with a population of tens of thousands and plunder countless people.

The clouds of the war of time enveloped the entire Liao Dynasty's prairie. Countless Great Zhou cavalry swept the wind like the wind, coming and going like the wind, galloping across the grassland, making the Liao people frightened and panicked all day long.

What is even more annoying is that these Great Zhou cavalry neither killed the people of Liao nor burned tents, nor even women were disdainful. They just robbed cattle and sheep, robbed food, and robbed everything they could eat. This behavior of robbing food alone made the tribe leaders of the Liao Kingdom complain.

Why? It is because the Liao Kingdom's food was already a bit insufficient, and the arrival of the cold and cold year, which made it even worse. If the food is gone and people are still there, isn't it even more bitter? It's better to kill everyone to make them worry.

The cavalry of the Great Zhou Dynasty were elusive on the grassland, and they were not interested in fighting and left as soon as they touched each other, which made the various tribes of the Liao Kingdom exhausted and fully reflected the essence of guerrilla warfare, the strategic idea of ​​"the enemy advances and we retreat, the enemy stands and we disturb us, the enemy is tired, and we attack, the enemy retreats and we advance."

Of course, these cavalry not only plundered food, but sometimes they also helped the Liao people to seize food. They didn't lose their lives when they left. It was cold and the food needed to keep warm, right? As for whether these foods would be burned to ashes, they didn't care about their affairs. After all, they just did good things and did not help you solve the difficulties. They clearly divided this point.

This idea of ​​being damaged by a thousand-killing sword was naturally not proposed by Ma Jin, but by Meng Tian, ​​the governor of Bingzhou, in order to severely damage the tribes in Liao, and add a fire to save these tribes from eating enough to cause trouble for them when they are full.

Of course, this result is something Ma Jin is willing to see. As for benevolence, mercy, etc., it is used on his own people. As for the life and death of the people in other countries, who cares?

However, if you think about it in your heart, you can do it, and you can never say it. Who made him the "Holy Emperor" admired by the people of the world? How could he do such a thing that makes people stung the backbone? Even if he does it, it was also bewitched by his ministers and did it without him. He, the Holy Emperor, is always kind and loving the people and compassionate.

So when Meng Tian proposed it, Ma Jin was very pleased and surprised. It is rare for such ministers who have a deep sense of holy heart and are happy to take the blame.

You should know that war is cruel. Except for victory or defeat and interests, everything else is irrelevant, including feelings and human nature. These things are the least valuable in war. Be kind to the enemy is cruel to oneself. Ma Jinke always keeps this sentence in his heart and reminds himself.

People are selfish. For victory, they can do anything. There is no mercy or sympathy on the battlefield, only life or death. If you blame them, they can only blame them for being born in the Liao Kingdom and why they stand on the hostile side of the Great Zhou Dynasty. If you are the people of the Great Zhou Dynasty, you will have nothing to do?

It can be said that the Great Zhou trick was to cut off the firewood from the bottom of the cauldron, which directly hit the weak point of the Liao Kingdom. If they had no food in the past, they could have gone to Song Kingdom to fight for grass valleys. But now the south is controlled by the Great Zhou, so it is naturally impossible to go south. As for the north, there are no ice slags, there is no way to see the grass, let alone food. As for the other northern countries, they are poorer than their Liao Kingdom, and they can't count on them at all.

In this way, the purpose of the Great Zhou Dynasty was naturally achieved. Without food, the tribes of the Liao Kingdom could not move, and they could not escape, but they dared not. They had seen the power of the Great Zhou cavalry, and one hundred cavalry could defeat thousands of tribal troops.

You should know that although the tribes in Liao are countless, they are mostly small tribes with a population of only tens of thousands, and there are almost not many with a population of more than 100,000. Like the eight tribes above, the entire Liao Kingdom with a population of hundreds of thousands is only a few palms. How could they be the opponent of the Great Zhou? In the end, they only have one way to go, that is, surrender to the Great Zhou, which is exactly what Ma Jin expected...
