Late Tang Dynasty Floating Life

Chapter 1298 Prepare in advance
When Pei Guan was sent as an envoy, profound changes took place in the Hebei battlefield.

First of all, Jizhou was wiped out from the whole territory.After a short rest, the Daozhou soldiers in the pass attacked the Crane Control Army from the south from Yingzhou and Dingzhou, and broke into the German army.

Lu Yanwei fled in a hurry, and Raoyang County refused to accept him behind closed doors. He went to Luze again, was defeated outside the city, and died in the chaos.

The king's capital also fled to the south, defeating thousands of troops led by Li Bai, the commander of the Daozhou Army in the pass, and fled to the city, where they were defeated by Dinghui.Fleeing into the people's house, he was hunted down again and died.

Chengde Duan Liang led his army to the city of Chao, and fought against Xia's army. He was defeated and more than [-] people died.The rest of the crowd supported Liang and collapsed into Jiumen County.

Seeing that the situation is over, Shenzhou surrendered.

Under the city of Zhaozhou, Lu Huaizhong failed to attack repeatedly.In a fit of rage, he came to the front line in person and supervised the fierce attack of the Taoist soldiers in Huaihai, Henan, and Guan. On the battlefield, arrows fell like rain, and there were many casualties.

On the whole, Chengdezhen's strength has been greatly weakened.They are really not good at field battles, they have failed several times, and now they are just dying.

It is worth mentioning that after Fu Cunshen quickly took office as the Tielin military envoy, he did not give any face, dismissed some incompetent officers, and strictly enforced military discipline. Under the city of Zhenzhou.

Whether this veteran army can restore the bloody battles and invincible momentum of the past depends on how well he rectifies.

After Shao Shude read these military reports, he didn't interfere in any way, but only instructed to supervise the transportation of food, grass and supplies so that the front line would not be short of food or equipment.

After finishing these, he took the palace servants and concubines, surrounded by Yin Anzhi and palace guards, and headed for Changping, very leisurely.In his view, the war in the Central Plains is coming to an end, and Khitan can be considered as the next step.

As for Huainan, we have to wait and see.

He already knew the news that Yang Xingmi was not in good health, but he didn't think it was a good idea to lead the army to the south when old Yang just died.

When fighting for Xuzhou back then, the Huai army suffered losses in field battles. Xingmi realized that the possibility of going north was unlikely, so he deliberately cleaned up the interior.For this reason, An Renyi was executed, and Tian Xun and Yang Shihou were forced to rebel.After Tian Yu was flattened, Yang Shihou voted for Qian Liu.

In the current Huainan regime, many elite soldiers are collected in Guangling.Yang Xingmi's repeated purges have achieved initial results.

Suddenly attacking at this moment, the effect may not be good, and it may make people more united.

Instead of that, it's better to take it easy.

Yang Xingmi's family background is too poor, and his family is poor.When he was in his prime, he either went to Lingzhou to defend the border, or rebelled and became a bandit. After being recruited by the government, his status was not high, which caused him to marry and have children too late. Now that the children are still young, he doesn’t have much time to teach—Heir Yang Wo's reputation is not very good, and his ability does not seem to be very good, so the soldiers may not accept him.

But Lao Yang had no choice.Yang Wo is just 20 years old this year. He is already his eldest child and the only heir. He has no rivals and can only choose him.

Unless Lao Yang can think about it and pass the big position to the generals—in fact, there have been rumors of this all the time, and Yang Xingmi once seriously considered it, but he couldn't bear it after all.

That being the case, there is a great possibility that someone in Huainan will rebel, so it is better to wait a little longer.

On September 23, Shao Shude was already in Changpingtang, and received the first-hand news from Pei Guan from Jinyang.

After reading it several times, I was so excited that I handed down a command on the spot: "A Baoji betrayed his faith, and people and gods were all angry. It is really appropriate to ask for it. Brother Yi, please point out a good general who will lead the men of dragon, spirit and tiger to come out of Jingxing and go to Peiping Mansion. I Two brothers, let's attack the Khitan together and punish this traitor."

This oral instruction is actually very particular, and the meaning of temptation is quite strong.

Where is Jingxingwai?Chengde!
If the Jin army brigade passes through here, but they are not here to save them, it will be a big blow to the morale of the army.

In addition, this is actually a test of PUA master Shao Shude's obedience to Hedong, testing the bottom line of his righteous brother.

Brother Yi doesn't want to surrender?I absolutely respect that.

So how about going to fight Khitan together?think about it?
The tactic of cutting sausages has always been very useful, and Shao Shude likes to use it very much.

After the oral order was issued, the palace official Xie wrote it on the spot, and sent someone to the Secretary's Ministry to formally draft the decree, and then sent it to the Zhengshitang.

Mrs. Xie could hear that the sage's ambition was about to be fulfilled, and he was happy in his heart. The water splashed in the soup pool, and he cried again and again.

After a long time, the people in the soup pool finally came out.

Yu Lu saw that Gu's eyes were red, but there was a charming smile in them.

After the queen came, the life of the official family was quite restrained and arranged in an orderly manner.Unexpectedly, as soon as he arrived in Changpingtang, the vigor accumulated for a long time was ruthlessly searched away by Yu Lujiangu, a charming girl.

Xie wished he could replace him with his own body.

"Bring me the account books of the states in Hebei Province." Shao Shude lay comfortably on the bed, and Yu Lu saw that Auntie casually draped a tulle over her body, lying beside him, stuffed with grapes one by one.

Feeling the soft squeeze on his chest, Shao Shude stroked Yu Lu Jiangu like a pet.

The great shaman of the Eight Khitan tribes, the city lord of the Junzhou under the head, the nobleman of the Diela tribe, and Yu Lujian, who has no fewer than a hundred lives in his hands, twists and turns submissively, and groans softly from time to time, often in exchange for a resounding blow. slap.

Most people can't keep this kind of pet, but Shao Sheng likes to keep it.

Palace official Su brought the four female historians and moved a lot of files over.

Shao Shude's eyes moved, and Yu Lu immediately got up when he saw his aunt, and walked over after a while, and poured a bowl of tea for Shao Shude who was looking through the household registration files.

Shao Shude took a special look at several newly established counties in Beiping Prefecture, especially Zhigu County.

Princess Meiyuan has already surrendered, and Zhao Feng, the new Jinshi, has finally taken office after two months of newly married life.

Shao Shude took a look, and then calculated the approximate grain production of Beiping Mansion, and he gradually got a good idea.

In Yingzhou, this month, they are still hoarding farm tools and grain.Around October, the first batch of immigrants from Caozhou will arrive.They will take advantage of the late autumn to level the fields and clean up weeds and stones—if the farmland has been abandoned for a long time, it will be very troublesome to clean it up, and it will be even more troublesome if it is opened up.

In winter, some water conservancy projects will be built while the water is shallow.

These are all physical labors and need to hoard enough food and grass in advance.It's cold in winter, so we have to prepare firewood.Preparations for these things started in the summer, and the last batch is almost ready to be shipped.

At this time, he also had to lament that the executive power of government agencies at all levels was indeed strong when the country was founded.If it is in the middle and late stages of the dynasty, such a small matter can drag you for a whole year and you can't do it, and it will cost a lot.

In the six counties of Yingzhou, the first batch of wheat can be planted next spring and harvested in autumn.

Grain production in the counties of Andong Province is gradually stabilizing.After all, it has been established for five years, and it has been recuperating for the past two years, and it is not surprising that it has gradually gained some blood-forming ability.

In terms of administrative division, Andong Mansion belongs to Huaihai Road.It is also impossible for Shao Shude to assign it to other places. Even if the Liao land is established in the future, the Liaodong Peninsula will always be under the jurisdiction of the Central Plains. This is a principle that cannot be changed.

Ruzhou and Guizhou are also slowly accumulating strength after the continuous registration of Qimin households and foreign immigrants—mainly the families of Zhenbing.Now there is nothing wrong in the north, and the peace is extremely peaceful. They can even trade with the grasslands, and the wealth of society is slowly increasing.

Looking at it this way, the conditions for taking action against Khitan are slowly maturing.

"Your Majesty is going to conquer Khitan?" Yu Lu suddenly asked after seeing Aunt watching from the sidelines for a long time.

"The Bohai Kingdom sent envoys to ask for help, what do you think?" Shao Shude glanced at her, and said, "Speaking of which, what's the matter with your Baiwang County? How many officials and military households are listening to you now? Pei Tong came to report that A Baoji rode over thousands of steps, and all of them ran to the Bodhisattva slaves to flatter them, how do you think you are the city lord?"

"Officials, they haven't seen their concubines for a long time, so they turned to others. As soon as concubines show up, they come to vote." Yu Lu saw her aunt called Qu and said, "The official only needs to let the concubine go back to Yingzhou..."

"Give up your mind." Shao Shude said with a sneer, "If you go back to Yingzhou, you will go with me. What do you think?"

Seeing her aunt, Yu Lu didn't dare to speak anymore.

The longer you stay with the official family, the more you know who this person is.He is a beast that eats people without spitting out bones. I really annoy him. On the surface, he won't say any bad words to you, but Bao Buqi will make you fall into the bottomless abyss one day.

It is heard that after the construction of the Luoyang palace city was completed, the officials have made an order to find land for the Henan government to build the imperial mausoleum.Although the Central Plains has not had the bad habit of burying concubines for a long time, but...

Yu Lujian aunt reads a lot recently, but she has heard the song "Meng Cai Ren Tan".

When the king asks "what will you do if he dies", this is not a choice, but a requirement.

"When Pei Guan and Li Cunxu come back next month, I will evaluate the situation in Xiadong. If we can deal with it as soon as possible, we will pull out tens of thousands of Jin troops and send them all to Khitan to see if A Baoji can hold them." Shao Shude Said: "By the way, you can't ask Baiwang County to vote for you, and you can't inquire about the illness of Khan Yaozhan, and you can't do it? Who are your cronies in Yingzhou? Tell them, and I will forgive them. If you are capable, sneak back to Khitan, mobilize connections, and scout around. If you make great achievements, I will reward you generously."

"Yes." Seeing that Gu Gu didn't dare to neglect her, Yu Lu immediately agreed.

In fact, she had already told the sage before that Khan Khan Dejin might not be able to survive this winter, but the sage didn't quite believe it.

Of course, it's not unbelievable.At least, he was already making preparations in advance, which showed that he already had some confidence in his heart.

Once Khan Hen Dejin died, the eight Khitan tribes must re-elect Khan. Can A Baoji bear it?

If he holds back, then the new Khan will come up, and it will be three years and three years, and he will die directly.Abaoji is 34 years old this year and seems to be in his prime, but what if the new Khan is younger than you?

Abaoji, can you afford to wait?

If A Baoji voluntarily gave up running for the future of Khitan Babu—forget it, based on Yu Lu Jiangu's understanding of his brother, this is impossible.

A Baoji is also a wolf, he can give up everything, but absolutely cannot give up power.

If there are too many people who oppose him, such as the gang of Judi, he is very likely to preemptively strike the killer and forcefully rise to the top.

This time is actually the most chaotic and weakest time for Khitan.

Seeing her aunt, Yu Lu sighed secretly.

The eight Khitan tribes were stared at by someone like Shao Shude, and it was also bad luck for eight lifetimes.

It is a great irony that the emperor of Central Plains cares about Khan Hendejin's illness every day.
