Chapter 535: Spread

Ye Tao and his personal guard camp stood firmly in the forefront in the middle of the battle formation. Ye Tao did not dismount, but quietly examined the battle situation and dealt with the military information from all sides surrounded by the personal guards. Xie Bo'an mobilized heavy troops to attack here, but this annoyed the Dongping army that guarded both wings. One of the three complete teams of 10,000 people left in Xie Bo'an was eliminated at an unprecedented speed. The heavy equipment camp concentrated more than half of the firepower to cover the enemies in front of Ye Tao. When the artillery fire stopped, the ground seemed to be burning, and every stone and every gravel was rolling hot. A few soldiers who could rush to the personal guard camp were killed by the personal guard camp one by one. Everyone in the personal guard camp had their own skills, and archers were not a matter of being here, and no one could rush to the personal guard camp within fifty steps.

After such an attempt failed, the Northern Liao army, whose morale was getting worse, finally slowly retreated. But Ye Tao did not let Xie Bo'an go, and the infantry troops naturally gathered their formations and counted the casualties. But the cavalry troops pursued with all their might.

This lasted for a whole day, and the results were completely met Ye Tao's expectations. The Northern Liao army decreased from 200,000 to 90,000. When Xie Bo'an retreated, he was unable to take away the wounded due to cavalry pursuit. In the Dongping, he paid a total of 37,000 casualties. However, due to the huge advantages in equipment and the sufficient rescue preparations, the actual number of casualties was only 6,400. Among the remaining 30,000 casualties, most of them could be recovered from injury in a short period of time. There were 4,400 people who needed to be observed and rested. Only 2,300 were seriously disabled. Such a result allowed the tribe to join the tribe to recover from injury in a short period of time.

They thought that after such a war, even if they were defeated, more than half of the tribal warriors would return to the upper ebb. They fought with such preparations and determination. But the results are many times better than expected. Ye Tao has said that all the casualties are implemented according to the pension standards of the Dongping army. For tribes that have been trapped in the mountains, the standard pensions of Dongping are simply astronomical. The one-time pension plus the annual subsidy afterwards can allow families who have lost their pillars to live a decent life.

While Xie Bo'an was commanding the defeated troops in Bei Liao, he suddenly found that the retreat had been blocked by the Dongping troops set out from Fuyugang. Although there were troops stationed everywhere, Xie Bo'an would have taken it with an order. But now, the morale of the army was dispersed and there were pursuers behind him, so Xie Bo'an had to choose to detour. But how could Chi Lei make Xie Bo'an do what he wished? He personally led 5,000 elite cavalry to harass and raids, especially the two consecutive days of night attacks, which greatly delayed Xie Bo'an's progress. Finally, the army chasing behind him rushed up. Xie Bo'an had no choice but to pursue the troops.

After another battle, after another defeat, he took less than 50,000 remaining troops and withdrew from the battlefield with the North Liao friendly troops. Since then, the northeastern border of Northern Liao, from the north of Fuyugang, all belonged to Dongping. The more serious consequence is that the tribal coalition forces have been able to threaten the rear of the Western Route Army, which is fighting hard with the army under the Northern Frontier General Administration and the Blood Qi Army, who are fighting hard with the Xueqi Army. Although the Western Route Army has enough tactical depth and will not allow the two Dongping troops to connect, it is enough to divide the troops to take care of the rear to make Gao Senqi headache. What he lacks is the troops.

Ye Tao, who has mastered a large number of new territory and has sufficient experience in occupying the area, has gradually started various treatment work. After all, the current controlled area is still quite far from Dongping. Even with Fuyu Port, the distance between shipping has been greatly reduced, but now relying on a large amount of shipping can only ensure the supply of the army. As for various civil affairs needs, it can only ensure the supply of urgently needed food and medicine. The cities destroyed by the fire are gradually being repaired, and Ye Tao has attached great importance to the restoration of farming and has a lot of encouragement measures. Those families who spared no effort to support the Northern Liao Dynasty in the war against Dongping were originally worried about whether Ye Tao would attack them. After all, the foundation of the family cannot be transferred just by wanting to be transferred. But Ye Tao is obviously very tolerant in this regard.

He did not settle the accounts after the autumn, but required all tribes in the controlled area to be implemented in accordance with the agricultural tax system in Dongping. As for the wasteland left by the families that had already escaped, Ye Tao issued a notice without hesitation, collecting refugees to gather for farming, and granting fields based on families and villages, and stated that even if the original owner comes back, the government will not return the land to the original owner. As soon as such a move was taken, a large number of refugees who were hiding came out one after another, eagerly gathering relatives and friends, gathering into units of hundreds of people to apply for land. In actual operations, not only the land, but even the houses left by the fleeing families were all used as public property in the village. However, these assets required these new villagers to pay a portion of the fee for ten years.

Even if this part of the cost is added, the burden of farmers will still be largely greater than the original burden under the control of the Northern Liao Dynasty. Not to mention in recent years, when dealing with the huge sergeants and economic pressure in Dongping, the Northern Liao Dynasty still has a large amount of donations. Now, due to Dongping's relatively complete economic management system and the handling methods of budget and final accounts, it is not so easy to increase taxes. If you have to increase taxes next year, you will definitely have corresponding clauses this year. Moreover, this type of tax burden will still vary from region to region. The governors of each state only get the total tax figures that need to be paid to the central government, and the specific amount of additional taxes will be controlled by the governor himself. Lu Dan is

When the second year of the Governor of Yicheng, when the amount was not greatly increased, he cleverly mobilized agricultural resources and merchant resources with flexible means, matched the two sides, and refined the 3,700-year-old and weak city guards. Without levying a penny on ordinary farmers and merchants, he completed the central command, fully demonstrated his governance skills, and allowed a considerable number of refugees to settle in Yicheng in the following years, making Yicheng prosperous. In a country like Dongping, where the population is relatively sparse, the population itself is a resource. In Dongping, which has no restricted migration, the people-oriented governance strategy can be truly implemented...

It may take several years to consolidate the rule of this part of the region, but at least from the current reactions of the people, officials and gentry, it is quite successful. Although it is equivalent to requiring the landlords and wealthy families to reduce the rent interest, it has not changed the subordinate relationship between land and tenants for the time being. The newly built villages completely subordinate to Dongping were integrated into local production with a new look and became a solid foundation for Dongping's rule. What Dongping paid was only the business of land measurement and document issuance.

There is no big benefit in it, but in just one or half a year, such a disposal will show its power. Just like Ye Tao implemented the governance around Zhongjun Town. Of course, there are still differences. In Zhongjun Town, Ye Tao can quietly wait for those governance measures to take effect and stabilize the rule of Dongping, but in this northeastern border, Ye Tao obviously did not have such patience to wait. It is probably the case in the year that the destruction of Northern Liao is probably the case. The current disposal is to avoid fire in the rear during the process of conquering Northern Liao.

After all, Ye Tao could not stay in Tianmeng City for a long time and finish everything before leaving. When Chi Xianping arrived, Ye Tao handed over the lot of work in his hand before leaving calmly. Chi Xianping had already planned to be the governor to rule the border of the Northern Liao Dynasty in the future. Now he was asked to take over the tribal coalition. On the one hand, he could first be familiar with the various affairs of the Northern Liao Dynasty, and also to allow him to accumulate enough achievements. In this way, he could sit firmly in the position of the governor in the future and not be attacked by too many people. On the other hand, Chi Xianping's achievements were accumulating power over the Northern Liao Dynasty. Without such a deterrence, how could he control this tough land that had just fallen into the palm of Dongping in the future?

Ye Tao took a flight and flew directly to the place where the Zhongjun Battalion is stationed. After the Battle of Chuixianglin, another battle in Yunzhou was about to begin. When Ye Tao deployed the Battle of Chuixianglin, Dai Yun was only putting a considerable pressure on the direction of the main battle, but he did not expect Dai Yun to win several consecutive small victories in a row, which made her see the combat power of the Western Route Army. Although Gaosen Banner is powerful, the strength of the Flying Tiger Battalion is limited after all. Except for the Flying Tiger Battalion, which is roughly equivalent to the combat power of the Blood Kid Army, the combat power of the rest of the troops is not that strong. Dai Yun decisively mobilized heavy troops to attack, and won several consecutive victories, which also forced Gaosen Banner to the point where he had to fight with all his might. Now

The camp of Gaosen Banner is on the shore of Qianze Lake. Once the Qianze Lake line is broken, it is probably not difficult to capture Li'an City with the Yunzhou army's siege ability. There is almost no terrain suitable for defense operations between Li'an City and Yanjing, and it is a whole open plain. When the Northern Liao established its capital in Yanjing, it was because it was the strong grain production capacity of this plain, but now it has become a very fatal matter. For Gaosen Banner, the more embarrassing thing is east of Li'an, which is not the jurisdiction of the Western Route Army. Once the Qianze Lake line is broken up, the Northern Liao even faces a situation where it is divided into three major pieces and it is difficult to communicate with each other. Once the Western Route Army divides the middle route like this, it is only a matter of time before it is eliminated by concentrated forces.

Gaosen Banner was never a person who was willing to swallow his anger, and in this case, he was not afraid to ask the Northern Liao court for reinforcements. After all, it was not just Gaosen Banner who was in the main battle direction. Gaosen Banner was able to obtain 60,000 reinforcements in fifteen days. This may be the maximum force that the lord of the Northern Liao Kingdom could piece together to ensure the safety of Yanjing. Apart from the Western Front, the North Front, and some troops that assisted in defending the attack on the Zhenning Pass, the remaining troops on the remaining borders of the Northern Liao are now quite dangerous. In this case, the special battalion made waves on the almost unprepared North Liao territory. Although Gaosen Banner knew the power of the special battalion, it was also subject to the force and was unable to clear it out.

Qianze Lake, Li'an, a big battle is about to come, and at this time, it is best that Ye Tao can return to the Central Military Camp.

Ye Tao had just returned to the Central Military Camp and was not in a hurry to read the battle report during this period. He pulled Dai Yun, who had been responsible for the commander-in-chief for this period, from the Central Military Camp, and accompanied him for a walk by a beautiful river not far from the Central Military Camp.

"Why, I always have one piece missing in the military information I got?" Ye Tao asked with a smile.

"It's nothing. You're in Tianmeng City, so I told them not to report to you about the city and military morality. Now, some people are spreading rumors and causing trouble, and the Intelligence Bureau is in a state of turmoil. In order to prevent your prestige from being affected by those small things, I'll deduct this part of the information first. Do you want to see it?"

"What's going on?" Ye Tao's curiosity about the complicated military situation was actually not very big. However, as a commander, this was just a work that had to be completed.

"Someone is rumoring that Sophie has an affair with her elementary apprentice."

"Sophie? and...Ye Yunjing?" Sophie is neither a maid nor only managing all Ye Tao's documents and drawings, but often represents Ye Tao, checking designs and finished products in various engineering sites or manufacturing projects. She now occasionally designs projects, has built courtyards and pavilions, and even participated in the design of special civil airships. She has followed Ye Tao for twenty years. Now she understands and summarizes Ye Tao's various design ideas, even more than Ye Tao who often makes strange things. And Ye Yunjing, this child brought back from Nanyang, has been trained for a long time, and is now a technician. In terms of military ordnance, Ye Yunjing, after a long period of training, has become a technician.

He is not very good at it, but in terms of courtyard design, his plan is full of romance and imagination, and has incorporated many other artistic characteristics. Although he is still quite immature now, especially he doesn't know much about the relationship between design plans and specific construction. But it can be imagined that this guy will definitely be a garden master in the future. Ye Yunjing also worked as a book boy in Ye Tao's study for several years when he was a child, and he has always helped Sophie sort out documents and drawings. He has a close relationship with Sophie. Now, when Sophie is busy, he always asks Ye Yunjing to help. After all, it is really unlikely that a guy who comes up with a plan is needed to be busy. In Dongping, design and construction are two completely different industries.

Why is this kind of rumor spreading? Ye Tao can't think of it. Sophie is naturally the closest person around Ye Tao, but if you want to hurt Ye Tao through this kind of thing, Ye Tao must be stupid enough to believe it. Sophie and Ye Tao have been together for many years. Although they have no children, their relationship has always been very good. Ye Tao even got angry for Sophie and Tan Weixin back then. In recent years, Sophie has almost been Ye Tao's spokesperson in the field of technology. Sophie will even herself

The entire process of learning design from drawing has been sorted out, and a series of books has been compiled into a series of books. This set of books is almost the only design book of this era that has the nature of textbooks. When compiling this set of books, the trust, admiration and admiration of Ye Tao that was unconsciously revealed in the book. Although many people canceled the materials to tease Sophie, Sophie was not a Middle-earth person. She was disobedient to reveal this feeling, but she seemed to be a little proud.

As for Ye Yunjing, that's even more ridiculous. Although Ye Yunjing and Sophie are close, the relationship is more like teachers, students, siblings, and Ye Yunjing even relied on Sophie as their mother. Although Ye Yunjing is an orphan in Nanyang, his girlfriend is now the little daughter of the Qian family of Danyang wealthy family.

Anyway, this whole rumor is so unreliable. But it is unreliable. Now, three people become tigers in this world are also established. I don’t know where this rumor started and why it started, but it was later used by some people who are interested. Some people are helping the fire, some take the opportunity to cause trouble, and some people even make up the matter into more exaggerated versions to spread it everywhere. Many people are not concerned about whether the matter is true or not, or where the rumors come from, what impression they will have on people, but only care about what they can get from such remarks. For some people who have always regarded Ye Tao and the huge power he has mastered as thorns in their eyes, they really took this opportunity to launch it. Tan Xiaopei’s desktop was filled with related memorials, which was just what Ye Tao expected.

But some of the strange things, after all, attracted the attention of those who were interested. Nie Rui first discovered the person who was fueling the fire behind the scenes, and was obviously an expert. Rumors first emerged in Danyang. In fact, Danyang dealt with them at the beginning. Danyang City Shou quickly arrested several gangsters who spread the rumors, and the military pokers were responsible for the heavy responsibility. But then, the Dongping government was a taboo for the emperor, Ye Tao did not want to spread the housework, and other strange words came out. Then, no matter what Ye Jingyun, Sufei did, or if others had any explanations about the rumors, there were always new remarks to add them. Obviously, the person who spread the rumors had a very clear understanding of the whereabouts of Sophie and Ye Jingyun, and had a suspicion in the entire Danyang. If it weren't for the wealthy families in Danyang that were deeply rooted in Danyang, he would probably be the enemy spies who were willing to spend money and thought about the layout of Danyang.

But rumors are rife, and it is almost impossible to find out who posted each remark first. While Nie Rui was rigorously inquiring, he could only report the situation to Ye Tao.

"Is that little guy Ye Jingyun okay?" Ye Tao asked.

"It's okay, he is now assisting his second senior brother in the landscaping project in Danyang. After the little guy told his little girlfriend's house, he continued to work just like nothing. The second senior brother admired him very much." Dai Yun replied: "But it's not convenient for him to visit Sophie during this period."

"Sophie...where is now?" Ye Tao sighed and asked, "In Gondor or Yejiabao?"

"Huh?" Dai Yun asked, "How did you know that Sophie is back?"

Ye Tao said helplessly: "Sophie has been following me for so long. Do I still know? She does not care about anything else, but she cares about two things: respect and trust. Now there are rumors, and she is not a person like us... She only knows that it is slander and slander, and she will be afraid that we will not trust her. At this time, she can only go back to the place where she can feel safe and can completely not hear what is said outside, and think about her own thoughts..."

Dai Yun smiled and said, "It's really different for so many years. Sophie is in Yejiabao now. Are you going back once?"

Ye Tao nodded, and he sat by the river, then patted the grass beside him. Dai Yun smiled sweetly, sat openly beside Ye Tao, and leaned gently on Ye Tao.

"I'm going to... go back to Yejiabao early tomorrow morning." Ye Tao said lightly.

"A big battle... you're going to miss it. The war has started in these few days. I don't want to give Gao Senqi too much time." Dai Yun said: "If you don't wait until the battle is over, you'll leave. It's best if you come and command."

"I command? Why?" Ye Tao laughed and said, "I don't need to be famous. What should I do when commanding combat? I have been away for a while. Now, what is the situation in the front line? What are the strong combat power and which need to be repaired? I don't interfere with your command. Besides, is it difficult to achieve this victory?"

Dai Yun tilted his head and sighed: "Yes, it's not too difficult to win now. It's just that he knows advancing and retreating, not advancing. The strengths and weaknesses of the enemy and us have become more and more obvious, and the battle between Chuixianglin has greatly damaged the morale of the Northern Liao army. If you can use a disadvantageous force, most of the new tribes will win a battle. I am now superior in combat power, so it's strange that I can lose."

Although she has been married to Ye Tao for a long time and Dai Yun is already a mother, her arrogance and heroism have never changed. In terms of commanding and fighting, her abilities have become more sophisticated with age, experience and vision.

"Well, I'll leave it to you... If possible, I'll leave it to Taiwei Chi to conquer Yanjing."

"Oh?" Dai Yun frowned, but soon understood. This military achievements were originally insignificant for them, and Ye Tao was worried that there were too many troubles now. But for Chi Xianping, it was a good opportunity to achieve success. If it were the generals of the Northern Liao Dynasty, whether it was Gao Senqi or Xie Bo'an, if they heard that the two had begun to discuss who to hand over the battle to conquer Yanjing, they would probably be furious, but I'm afraid this is the current gap in combat power between the two countries.

"Don't be too tired. Now there are so many things, how can I take care of everything yourself? The staff team is just to make the main general relax." Ye Tao sighed and said.

"Hopefully, right... after this battle, I think I can relax for a long time." Dai Yun closed his eyes. He leaned against Ye Tao, and she fell asleep quickly. This was the first time Dai Yun was able to completely relieve herself and fall asleep deeply in this period.
