Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Li Keyong now feels weak all over.

Maybe it's because I'm old, but I don't think so, I just can't lift my spirits, and I don't know what the meaning of sticking to it is.

Even my favorite horseback riding and hunting, I don’t play much now, and I just want to lie down all day.

People still need a goal.

Zhu Quanzhong is already dead, and his righteous brother helped him kill him.The revenge of Shangyuanyi has already been avenged.More than 300 clan relatives, Yuan Cong, and relatives who died tragically that year can sleep a wink under Jiuquan.

Datang has also died. Although Hedong is still persistently using the title of Tianyou, everyone knows that Datang is indeed dead.

The sage was transferred to the title of Le'an County King, and he is traveling in Qingzhou, and he seems quite at ease.When receiving these news, Li Keyong was furious at first, but after the anger was over, he felt powerless all over his body, the kind of powerlessness that penetrated deep into the bone marrow as if his soul had been emptied.

False Queen Xia Zheshi sent people to bring many gifts.Normally, he would definitely have someone send him back, but this time he didn't stop him and just let it go, because he was too lazy to talk, he was in no mood, and had no energy.

The battle has been fought until now, and it is getting more and more desperate.If you can't get out of the east, you can only stay in the mountains and rivers inside and outside.Perhaps, this is also an important reason for his weakness.

"Ma'am, Yazi has turned eighteen in the Chinese New Year, why don't you marry him?" Li Ke asked by forcing himself to cheer up.

It was agreed that Yazi would marry a daughter of Liu's natal family, but the talks were almost done.But at the critical moment, Mrs. Liu stopped it.Li Keyong is not a fool, so he can more or less guess the reason.

Madam wants to marry Shao Shude's daughter to Yazi, so that even if the two families fight back and forth, they are still relatives, and there will always be a bottom line, so that it won't be too ugly.For this reason, she did not hesitate to sacrifice the interests of the Liu family.

The wife is a good wife, Li Keyong knows it.But there is still some vague resistance in his heart, and he has the last stubbornness, unwilling to bow his head, and it has probably been dragged on until now.

"Husband, are the Khitan people trustworthy?" Mrs. Liu asked after straightening Li Keyong's robe.

There was worry and determination on her face.Generally speaking, a woman with this kind of personality is very strong and very determined, but when she met Li Keyong, who had a stronger personality, she knew how to adjust in time to act as a counselor and a good wife.

"It's not credible." Li Keyong said, "It's all about seeking skin from a tiger."

Mrs. Liu nodded, just as she thought, the husband has a clear understanding of this matter.

The Khitan wolf is ambitious and has always wanted to go south. For this reason, he took advantage of Hedong's efforts to digest Youzhou and fought several battles when civil strife broke out frequently.Now Youzhou has been occupied for many years, and the digestion is basically completed. The Khitan people suffered another defeat and turned to repair it.But this does not mean that they have no ambitions for Youzhou. In fact, as long as there is a chance, their first choice is to go south instead of eating Bohai, which is not very lucrative.

Interacting with the Khitan people is indeed seeking skin with a tiger.

"The Khitan people are being beaten into grass valleys every year, so they have to pour a lot of troops into the pine forest and Rushui area on the flat ground to fight against the Xia people." Li Ke said lazily: "The tribes Shao Shude arranged in Tanshan and Ruyuan are not good. Stubble. From last year to now, they have been fighting with the Khitan continuously, winning and losing each other, and they are not at a disadvantage. The Khitan just want to take advantage of the geographical advantages of Hedong, and send troops from Yunzhou and Youzhou to copy the back of the Xia people. They just solve the trouble. In the final analysis, it is a plan to drive away the tigers and wolves, and he is also worried that I will send my troops out of Linyu Pass to plunder their pastures and tribes.”…

"But my husband is still going to agree to Khan Hendejin and Yeluyi?" Liu asked.

"What if you agree, so what if you don't agree? Do you still have a choice now?" Li Keyong sighed and said, "There is a backwater in the direction of Yunzhou. All we can do is to strengthen the city every year and hoard food and grass. The season when the pasture is most lush, The herdsmen only dare to go out to graze secretly, just like being a thief. In the direction of Hexi, let alone, the Xia people raid every year, and the land with rich water and grass in Caochengchuan is beyond reach. In the direction of Cixi, we can only stick to it, occasionally Counterattack. Zelu Erzhou went down the mountain several times, but lost troops and generals. Seeing that I am going to be trapped in Hedong, what else can I do?"

Liu was also speechless.If you can't win on the battlefield, it's useless to say anything.

Xing Mingci fought too badly in that battle, I feel

The Jin army was defeated before the Xia army could use any force.This is an all-round gap. After Shao Shude acquired Henan, the combat effectiveness of the army has become stronger and stronger, and it is already difficult for the Jin army to compete.

Sometimes they can win a few battles and eliminate some Xia soldiers, but they can always recover their strength quickly and replenish quickly.If it drags on, the opportunities for Hedong will become less and less.

It seems to be the only chance to unite Khitan to break the situation.

"My lord, will the Khitan people take advantage of the fact that Yanzhen's elite troops are being transferred to the west?" Liu asked again worriedly.

Li Ke shook his head and said, "It's hard to say, but if you don't fight, you're just waiting to die."

When he said this, Li Keyong kept adding some psychological hints to himself, so as not to shake his will and lose the courage to fight his righteous brother.

"Let Xiao Agu just come here." Li Keyong ordered.

******
Xiao Agu only walked forward, his eyes were fixed on those sergeants who were practicing, observing carefully.

They are practicing array.

On the high platform, the flags changed again and again, and the sergeants followed the flags, gathering and dispersing from time to time, constantly forming new army formations.According to the different training progress, the drill content of each phalanx seems to be different.

The ones who are progressing the fastest are even talking about martial arts.

One side is the main attacker, the other side is the main defender, responding with different formations.After the training is over, the offensive and defensive positions are changed again.

There was also the sound of horseshoes in the distance.

All Xiao Agu knew was that the Jin army had dispatched a cavalry to simulate cavalry raids and charges, so that the sergeants would be more familiar with the battlefield environment and not be afraid of horses.

Is the military training in the Central Plains so close to actual combat?He secretly worried.

Using cavalry to train infantry, he only remembered it on the grassland.

That's what the Xue Yantuo people did. They were the overlords of the grassland, and they were also the overlords who used infantry to fight all over the grassland with invincible hands.But Xue Yantuo doesn't care much, why are the Central Plains people so rich?After a drill, if you lose a lot of horses, it won't be worth it.

But this is indeed a good way.Strong soldiers have to be trained in this way. It is obviously not possible to save trouble and money.

Near the camp, Xiao Agu only paused for a moment.

There are more than a thousand soldiers there, they look very capable, and they use a variety of weapons.Except for the standard equipment of infantry and long guns, other weapons are available, and they seem to be used well.

"This is a scattered team." Li Congke, who was walking beside him, said, "General Xiao should have seen their power by the White Wolf Water."...

Xiao Agu just glared at the young man, as if he thought his words were not pleasant and too arrogant.

Li Congke glared back at him, and put his left hand on his waist.This style of pie is not just arrogant.

"This knife was given to me by my adoptive father." Li Congke pulled out half of the knife and said with a grin, "When I was 16 years old, I entered the cavalry formation of the Pin Department alone and captured one person alive. General Xiao is not from the Pin Department. Bar?"

Step on the first wall!The warriors of the Central Plains are all barbarians, Xiao Agu just decided not to be as knowledgeable as them, turned his head and did not speak.

If you lose, you lose. This is an iron-clad fact.He can only endure the taunts of his former enemies until he regains his place.

"23, get out of here! Let General Xiao come over." Li Siyuan opened the curtain and said.

"Of order." Li Congke sheathed the knife and ran away in despair.

Xiao Agu only took a deep breath and strode over.

"See Your Highness Jinyang." After entering the account, Xiao Agu only saw Li Keyong sitting behind the table, and immediately saluted.

After saluting, there was no response for a long time.

Xiao Agu only raised his head, but saw that Li Keyong seemed to be wandering away, and suddenly became angry.

"I accept the gift." Li Keyong sighed suddenly, and said, "From now on, A Baoji will be my brother. If you break your oath, there will be such an arrow."

"Crack!" Rick snapped an arrow.

Xiao Agu only showed joy, and said: "I will repay Yili Jin when I go back, he must be very happy."

Li Ke was silent for a long time.

It's not that he didn't want to, but he suddenly remembered the past 20 years ago.

In the past few years, he often regretted that he and Shao Shude became brothers with different surnames because he couldn't save face.

This younger brother has been a pain in the ass.Now the generals in Hedong don't have the feeling that they regard the Xia people as life and death enemies at all--Hedong is already weak, if they don't show a lot of strength, how can they fight?
But Shao Shude is still constantly inviting people's hearts.

He released the captives An Fuqian, An Chonghui, Li Siben and others.After An Jinquan surrendered, he was also awarded the post of Governor of Fuzhou.Everyone sees these things.

Let's say he has a deep hatred for the Xia people, it's really not true, there is no reason for him to die.

Let's say that the relationship with the Xia people is average, everyone in the world knows that Shao and Li are brothers with different surnames.

And Shao Shude put on an uncle's kind appearance, and was very kind to Li Keyong's adopted sons whom he relied on as his confidants, as if he wanted to use him highly.It is an ordinary general, as long as he has the ability, he can also be an official. An Jinquan is a role model.

This sworn brotherhood, Li Keyong regretted going to his grandma's house.At the same time, this also made him more and more aware of the dark side of this foster brother, and he became more and more suspicious of whether he could play him well.

"What is Baoji going to do?" Li Keyong asked after being disconnected for a long time when he reconnected to the network.

"At the turn of summer and autumn, the troops came out of the pine forests on the flat ground, and heavily attacked Xianyou Palace, Ruyuan, and the land of three springs." Xiao Agu only said: "The people of Xia heard the news and decided to mobilize troops to help. At that time, the King of Jin can organize his army. Go north and intercept the Xia people's retreat. This matter must be kept secret, only a few close friends know about it, and it must not be spread indiscriminately."

"Are you teaching me how to do things?" Li Ke glared at him angrily.

"Don't dare, it's just a suggestion." Xiao Agu said neither humble nor overbearing: "This battle is of great importance. If we can win, we can wipe out the power of the Xia people in Yanbei. Everyone is in danger, or they will collapse in a big way."

"Fang Lue still sounds like that." Li Keyong said, "How many troops does A Baoji plan to use?"

"No less than 15 people." Xiao Agu only said. With 15 people, it can be said that 30 people have ridden a lot of momentum.

"Okay, I agree." Li Keyong said.

"Maybe King Jin give you a letter? How many troops to mobilize, where to send troops, and where to fight? I will go back and report." Xiao Agu only said.

"If I agree, I agree. Why doubt it?" Li Ke stood up impatiently and said angrily.

Xiao Agu subconsciously took only half a step back.
