Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 100
Luo Youdu came to the Hall of Yanhe with ease.

After returning from the Western Expedition, he was granted the title of Zuo Sanqi's regular attendant, Duanming Palace University scholar, and he was free to come and go in the front hall of the Great Inner Palace.

Some soldiers passing by will salute and say hello.

As his status increased, military officials of a certain level no longer dared to jump in front of him, and this was especially true for soldiers.

After waiting outside the hall for a while, Luo Youdu was summoned.

Striding into the hall, Luo Youdu bowed to say hello.

Guo Rong smiled and pointed to the chair beside him, "Take a seat, sir."

After Luo Youdu bowed to thank you, he just sat down on the chair.

Guo Rong's face was a little serious, and he said: "I came here to ask you about something, sir, do you know how to solve the problem?"

Luo Youdu nodded and said: "I know, I remember that it was the first year of Emperor Dezong of Tang Dynasty. Dezong established Zhenwu and Shuofang Erjiedu and appointed Xiazhou Jiedu envoy. Later, the people rebelled, Huang Chao rebelled, and Tuoba Sigong, the leader of the Tuoba Department of the Party, went south He contributed a lot to support the Tang Dynasty in suppressing the chaos. Emperor Xizong of Tang Dynasty rewarded Tuoba Sigong, gave him the military title of "Dingnan Army", and gave Tuoba Sigong the surname Li, who was in Xiazhou, Tongyin, Xia, Sui, and You , Jing Wuzhou, the current Jiedushi of the Dingnan Army should be Li Yiyin, and his father Li Renfu is Tuoba Sigong's younger brother."

Luo Youdu, this little Zhuge, is not called for nothing. He doesn't want to be the group of Meng Shu who claim to be Zhuge Liang, but who can make Prime Minister Zhuge open the coffin and die again. He really put his heart into understanding the situation of the surrounding forces in Dazhou .

I have a deep understanding of the Southern Tang, Southern Han, Nanping, Northern Han, and Khitan.

The same is true for the Difficult Army.

Regarding his origin and future, he kept it in his mind, knowing that understanding these hostile forces would come in handy one day.

Sure enough, there was nothing wrong when it was supposed to be used.

Guo Rong also admired: "Sir, you can know the affairs of the world without leaving home. It is true. This will be difficult for the army to develop and expand the Tuoba clan based on Yin, Xia, Sui, You, and Jing. It has been nearly 80 years, and its strength is unmatched. Underestimate."

Luo Youdu thought to himself, not only should he not be underestimated, he will still be the enemy of the Central Plains in the future.

This Dangxiang Tuoba clan is the ancestor of the future Xixia Li Yuanhao.

Li Yuanhao was able to establish Xixia, although it was because of Song Taizong and Song Zhenzong's mysterious and unpredictable means of capitalizing on the enemy that they made Xixia fat and strong.However, it is also inseparable from them to take advantage of the civil strife in the Central Plains of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms to continuously stabilize the people's livelihood, so that the people of the five states can recuperate, and thus establish a solid foundation on the northern Shaanxi Plateau.

Guo Rong continued: "Sir, you know about the Dingnan Army, and you must also know about the Fugu Zhejia."

Luo Youdu said: "Not only do I know, before this, when I was returning to my teacher, I visited Zheng Guogong in Luoyang."

Seeing Guo Rong's surprised face, Luo Youdu explained in detail how he met Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua on the way with Han Lingkun, and the situation of visiting Zhe Congruan in Luoyang.

When Guo Rong heard that Zhe Congruan was dying of illness, he couldn't help sighing: "I received Zheqing's memorial to the old man at the beginning of the year, and I only thought that he was old and lacked mental strength, and wanted to take care of his life. I didn't want to really get sick again. It is my fault that I only learned about the situation from my husband today. Come here, and immediately send a decree to the government office, asking them to send a representative of the Ministry of Rites to Luoyang to visit and condolence in my name, and then let the imperial physician from the Imperial Medical Office accompany you."

After pondering for a moment, Guo Rong had a look of enlightenment: "This makes sense, so it is."

Seeing that Luo Youdu was confused, Guo Rong explained: "Today I got the news that the Nanjun army blocked the connection between Fugu and the imperial court, and the envoys and convoys of both sides are not allowed to have any communication. It must be that the brothers and sisters of the Zhe family found out their whereabouts when they went south. Knowing that Zheqing is terminally ill. There is no one in Zhe's family in the court, so Fugu has cut off contact with the court."

Luo Youdu listened to the reasons and said: "Your Majesty summoned the minister for this matter."

Guo Rong nodded and said: "Since the founding of our country in the Great Zhou Dynasty, the first emperor has been wooing the Dingnan Army and conferred the title of Li Yiyin as the King of Longxi County, but Li Yiyin did not accept the canonization, but chose to send envoys to the Northern Han Dynasty. The late emperor did not oppose Dingnan because of this. The difficult army mobilizes troops, but has always adopted a policy of both soft and hard. After I succeeded to the throne, I followed the example of the previous emperor and used soft and hard tactics against the Dingnan army, and the relationship between them was quite harmonious. They also turned a blind eye to the dealings between the imperial court and Fugu. Eye."

"Now they suddenly blocked the road, making Fugu an isolated place. Some people in the court suggested that Fugu is isolated in the north, separated from the territory of our dynasty by a hundred miles. It is far less important than the Dingnan army. It is better to abandon Fuzhou and appease Li Yiyin."

When Luo Youdu heard this, his face changed suddenly, he got up and said, "Your Majesty, whoever said this will be executed!"

Guo Rong was not surprised, but said: "So, sir, do you not agree to give up Fuzhou?"

Luo Youdu bowed and said: "The Zhe family in Fuzhou is loyal to the imperial court. Although they are alone in the north and have gone through hardships, they have never had the intention of disobedience. On the contrary, Li Yiyin, who is in trouble, has ambitions. I am bigger than Liu Han. He Choosing to surrender to Liu Han shows that they don’t want to see me unify the Great Zhou Dynasty. They are not self-reliant because they lack ambition, but because of their strength. The land of the five states held by the Dingnan Army is underpopulated and the economy is weak, so they are attached to Liu Han while fighting with us. The court secretly communicated the song, so that the court and Liu Han could restrain each other, and they would like to reap the benefits of the fisherman."

"Nowadays, the rituals are broken and the music is broken. The three cardinal principles and the five constant principles are reversed. Your Majesty's sacred heart is benevolent, and he intends to help the world, so today's great Zhou event is possible."

"Abandoning loyal people for the sake of treachery, if it spreads out, it will definitely chill the hearts of loyal people in the world."

"Your Majesty didn't hear that Geng Gong returned to Han, and the world praised him?"

Guo Rong smiled and waved his hands: "Sir, don't get excited. Your intentions are the same as mine. I invite you here just to see what you have to say. No matter how you decide, I will never abandon anyone who is loyal to me. However, the terrain of the Dingnan Army is more complicated than that of the four prefectures of Meng and Shu, so you can send troops to take it. How do you think you should deal with it?"

Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Economic blockade, cut off all economic exchanges with Dingnan Army, and secretly send envoys to Fuzhou, let Zhejiedu envoys attack the business road between Dingnan Army and Liu Han, and expand each other's economy as much as possible. Loss. Fugu is a place where there are enough soldiers and food, but many livelihoods of the Dingnan Army depend on our trade with North Korea. As time goes on, they will not be able to sustain it. At the same time, King Jing of Baoguo can transfer the troops to the north .”

"I have studied the situation of the Dingnan Army. The leader of the Dangxiang tribe in Xiazhou is not completely surrendered to the Tuoba clan. As long as there is external pressure, internal chaos will inevitably arise. In their current situation, they have no capital to fight with us. of."

"They are probably doing this to test His Majesty, so let them know the price of His Majesty's anger."

Guo Rong said with a smile: "I am not afraid of a small army, but I just don't want to delay the big event of the Southern Expedition. I am relieved to hear your analysis. By the way, I heard that Shi Shouxin, an idiot, has troubled you again?"

Luo Youdu bowed and said: "It's not troublesome, I used some means to teach them a lesson, I believe no one will make trouble again in the future."

Guo Rong snorted and said: "It's okay to focus on the key when necessary. Kaifeng Mansion dares to break into it. Will one day get angry and break into my palace?"
