895 To make Khitan from Khitan, or to abandon the Later Tang and invest in Khitan?

We join the army and do a life-threatening act. The court still owes military pay but still has to go out to fight and fight. This also captures the city walls and makes a lot of fun. What's the point? Since you are doing a murderous business, you can only fight and grab it yourself. Why are you pretending to be a good person?

Zhang Wanjin felt very disdainful. However, seeing Shi Jianyan's eyes wide open and his face was angry, he still had to give orders and let his military academy order his troops to plunder money and food, restrain people from killing, and even invade civilian women.

Shi Jianyan shouted loudly and sent his subordinate generals and small soldiers to pick up in Yangcheng, killing the soldiers of the Later Tang Dynasty who were tyrannical and tyrannical. Not long after, the scolding and scolding sounded from all over the city, and several teams of generals and soldiers were quarreling, and there was a conflict.

Shi Jianyan held a calm face and rode his horse towards the direction of the warehouse in the city. Although he was depressed, he did not forget his responsibilities. After walking for a distance, he said to Zhang Wanjin who was following him:

"Although that guy Li Jitao will definitely ask for help from the Southern Dynasty, according to Your Majesty's order, I will take Yangcheng quickly and must also lead the army south as soon as possible. After all, this time our army was suddenly launched, and the Hedong side sent troops to attack Luzhou. If Ge Congzhou's Yangwu army was in charge, he would still not be able to take care of each other.

If the Southern Dynasties sent troops to the north from the Yellow River Ferry of Heyang, we could also rush to the Taihang Mountain Pass in advance, set up an ambush and severely defeat the enemy's army, and form a siege against the vassal states defended by Li Jitao. Therefore, the soldiers are very fast, and this time it is necessary to seize the Zhaoyi army and unify Heshuo so that we can continue to fight against the Southern Dynasties and wait for an opportunity to attack Bianjing in one fell swoop. Then your Majesty's great cause is expected!"

Listening to Shi Jianyan's deep voice, Zhang Wanjin just claimed that he was. A military cavalry walked along the Yangcheng Long Street. Seeing the corpses of military and civilians around him, Shi Jianyan's face was as deep as water. He hesitated for a moment, and suddenly said angrily:

"When two armies fight, fighting to the death with the enemy, if they die on the battlefield, they can only blame themselves for their poor ability. But what is this slaughtering unarmed people like this?... This is not only a war, but also a sin!"

However, compared with Shi Jianyan and Zhang Wanjin's Yangcheng, the attack on Zezhou Yangcheng, broke from Hedong into the Later Tang army in Luzhou, the crime committed even more.

The northern corner of Zezhou, Xiating Town, Taipingyi, and Xiangyuan County were successively captured. Wherever they passed, there were sorrows everywhere, and corpses were buried. The traitors and plundering, and even the atrocities of wanton slaughtering civilians were everywhere.

A grim laughter echoed in a town that had just been broken. The brigade of elite cavalry with hair and left-breasted hair shouted Khitan, holding sharp blades of weapons, and drove along the town's houses and shops.

A large number of Khitan cavalry killed people when they saw them, robbed things when they saw women... But for a long time, the originally prosperous neighbors were already in a mess, with screams of crying and screaming one after another, and a large number of innocent people suffered unrestrained disasters.

Li Shaobin, the general who commanded this Khitan cavalry, also rode his horse into the town with his personal support. The main force of the horse army he personally held was of course not the nomadic cavalry generals who were mainly Yelu Abaoji, but instead surrendered to Hedong and was incorporated into the Later Tang army of Khitan.

Yelu Abaoji held a banquet to lure and kill, almost killing all the leaders of other Khitan tribes. Using such heroic means, although it prompted him to quickly cleanse the internal opposition forces and complete centralization. However, it will inevitably deepen the hostility of many people towards him.

Therefore, although they are both Khitan ethnic groups, but they refuse to surrender to the Yelu clan of Diela tribe, they choose to migrate and leave. However, in the grassland outside the border, it is still difficult to escape Yelu Abaoji's conquest and encirclement. Then it is also the most suitable choice for them to defect to the Later Tang Dynasty. Therefore, since Abaoji designed the killing intention to force him to abdicate and give up power, the Later Tang Yinan Khitan Zhi had a large number of troops to supplement them.

But the more people there are, the more consumption. The generals and soldiers of the Yinan Khitan were not loyal to the Li family in Hedong, but Shatuo and even other ethnic groups who had been there for several generations. For the Han'er in the Central Plains, there was no blood-connected friendship between the comrades and the comrades in this era... They had to defect to the Later Tang Dynasty for survival and profit.

However, Kong Qian, a tyrant from the Later Tang Dynasty, and Jing Jin and others were plundering money and grain, and asked for money and food everywhere... Li Shaobin tried his best to help and please the powerful, which naturally inevitably affected the salary of several subordinates mainly Khitanzhi. He now felt like he was a beast tamer, and he knew very well that he had no deep friendship with the beasts he was tamed... Then only by using the whip in his hand and enough meat to make those beasts act according to the instructions.

However, in the absence of food, Li Shaobin also knew very well what the consequences would be for him to be kept in the same cage as the wild beast who was not full and was increasingly hungry.

So Li Shaobin watched helplessly, the Khitan cavalry under his command plundered and slaughtered the Han people. Not far away, several military cavalry rushed around, and the spears quickly poked out, and immediately nailed a peasant woman who was holding a baby and wailingly ran to the ground. A rider threw out the horse pole and grabbed the neck of a farmer who was fighting desperately. Then he ran away, dragging the man into blood and blood, leaving a trace of miserable red on the ground...

Li Shaobin looked expressionless and still ignored it, indulging the Yinan Khitan military cavalry to commit crimes. The people in the towns here were like Xuting Town, Taipingyi, Xiangyuan County... The people in various places were as terrible as those in the disaster.

Even if the Khitan army led by Yelu Abaoji was killed here, at least they were divided according to the Han Dynasty, and they accepted Han'er as much as possible to open up arable land, and gradually established a national policy of gathering places for Han people. Even if these villagers were captured to the north as serfs, they could still save their lives and make a living. If they were proficient in certain professions or had outstanding talents, they would have the opportunity to be promoted and reused in the Khitan country.

But what came was the Yinan Khitanzhi who was favored by the Later Tang Dynasty. Not only did they still have the fierce habit of the northern nomadic people, they just robbed and killed! In particular, because they rejected the rule of Yelu Abaoji, these Khitan cavalry, according to the previous habit of attacking the banknotes, had the opportunity to take advantage of the war to burn, kill and rob. They would only be more fierce to the Han people under the enemy's rule! They would only be more cruel!

Li Shaobin was in a Shura field, silent and thoughtful. And his handsome man, and because he was born in Zhending from Zhenzhou, he often liked to regard himself as Zhao Zilong of Changshan, and urged him to step forward. Seeing that the Khitan cavalry in front of him were still slaughtering and violent, he frowned and said to Li Shaobin:

"Enjoyed father, our army has entered Luzhou. After going south and then passed Lucheng, he will approach Shangdang City, the capital where Li Jitao is located. However... to the east of Luzhou, it is adjacent to the Yangwu army where Ge Congzhou of the Southern Dynasty. We must be more careful and not advance rashly, and we must also pay attention to the movements of the Southern Dynasty's troops at any time..."

After hearing this, Li Shaobin snorted coldly and said in a deep voice:

"The army I commanded includes Yin'an Khitan, and there are only 15,000 soldiers and horses. Your Majesty dispatched troops and generals. Do you think he will let our army fight against the Luya Army in Yangwu Town alone? To put it bluntly, our army is just to test the direction of the Southern Dynasty...

Shi Jianyan led the Ya Army in Hezhong Town, and Zhang Wanjin cooperated to attack the Zhaoyi Army from the west corner of Zezhou. In order to set up an ambush at the key pass of Taihang Mountain before sending reinforcements in the Southern Dynasty, he waited for an opportunity to attack the enemy troops crossing the Yellow River from Heyang to the north.

But Zhaoyi's army was close to the eastern and southern dynasties, and the Daming Prefectures and Yangwu Army had heavy troops to station troops. To directly attack the Zhaoyi's army, other military brigades must cooperate to support it. Since this is the military order, you and I will just invade the south all the way..."
