Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 249 Recovering Youzhou
Luo Youdu has been watching the battlefield, seeing all the strange things on the battlefield, with a trace of doubt in his eyes.

The eastern section of the city tower was progressing so smoothly that the soldiers of the Xuanwei Army boarded Youzhou City with ease.

Didn't the other side send reinforcements?

This is a bit inconsistent with his plan!
Luo Youdu's original plan was to catch the opponent by surprise, it would be best if he could conquer the city in one fell swoop, and if he couldn't, it would consume the opponent's oil.

The threat of oil is simply too great.

In a chaotic battle like a siege, once the opponent uses oil to block the city, the attacker will not even have a chance to put out the fire.

Just waiting for the oil to burn out.

As a result, thousands of Xuanwei soldiers went up in one go, without knowing what happened.

The key point is that the western part of the city wall has also stopped attacking. After a wave of bed crossbow shooting, abnormalities appeared on the tower, and the defenders stopped attacking.

Their siege army advanced directly to the city without paying many casualties.

Just as the siege soldiers were about to set up a ladder to climb the city, a white flag flew from the tower, declaring surrender.

Kang Zaiyu also controlled the Youzhou city gate and opened the huge city gate.

Yao Neibin looked at the gate not far away, looked at the nearby ladder, and climbed up the tower from the ladder stubbornly.

All the Khitan soldiers on the tower surrendered.

Their morale was not high, and when they encountered civil strife and learned of Shi Fang's decision to drive their parents, wives and children to the tower to defend against the enemy, they had no desire to continue fighting.

The most important thing is Luo Youdu's reputation.

This surrender will not be abused, and there will be food and drink. What's the point of deadly resistance?
With the prospect of almost no victory in sight, almost everyone thought of surrendering.

It's just that people are soft-spoken and dare not speak out.

As long as someone sets an example, you will immediately find that it is not just one person who thinks so.

"Report, there is a Khitan team of [-] people attacking the camp."

When the siege soldiers successfully captured the southern gate of Youzhou, Luo Youdu received the news that the camp was under attack.

Sure enough, the Khitan people would not give themselves an environment to attack the city with peace of mind.

Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Let Pan Mei sit in charge, Chang Side will meet the enemy on his own, and report when he can't hold on!"

He personally arranged the defense of the camp, with Pan Mei in charge.

Luo Youdu didn't feel the need to ask himself, and focused on attacking.

Although he doesn't know why the siege of the city is progressing so smoothly at this moment, he can be sure that it is definitely not the opponent's scheme, and there must be other factors that caused all this.

In order not to miss the opportunity, Luo Youdu immediately issued an order to enter the city and control Youzhou.

"Liu Fu, you immediately lead your army and horses into the city. Divide your troops into two groups. One way occupies the government office in the city, protects the household registration documents in Youzhou, and occupies the grain storage area in the city along the way to prevent the enemy from burning or the people taking advantage of the chaos to plunder."

"If you don't know the direction, you can ask some soldiers to lead the way when you enter the city."

Liu Fu promised loudly, and directly led the guards to Youzhou City.

A horse galloped from Youzhou city.

But Quan Xu.

Taking control of the city gate, Kang Zaiyu thought about Xiao Hunian's request for Luo Youdu to come in person, and dared not make the decision himself, so he asked Quan Xu to explain the situation.

Quan Xu found a horse at the foot of the city, came close to it, and briefly talked about passing by.

Hearing that Shi Fang planned to drive the people to the city to fight against the enemy, Luo Youdu snorted softly.

It turned out that he had taken a fancy to Shi Fang. If it hadn't been for his interference, Youzhou would have fallen in the first place.

Although Shi Fang spoiled his good deeds, Luo Youdu felt in his heart that this person was a talent.

Unexpectedly, Shi Fang's thoughts are so vicious. You must know that although Shi Fang's name is strange, he is a real Youzhou native.

In order to be loyal to the Khitan master, he is so cruel to his father and fellow villagers.

Luo Youdu can understand the forced recruitment of strong men to defend the city, but he can't understand the kindness of driving the old, weak, women and children to the tower to use their lives to win the mercy of the opponent.

Luo Youdu heard Quan Xu talk about Xiao Hunian, the eldest daughter of the Xiao family, trapped in the attic.

There was a hint of surprise in Luo Youdu's eyes, and he smiled with great interest.

This Xiao Hunian has a deep impression in his memory.

The key point is that Xiao Hunian's younger sister is too famous, she is the famous Empress Xiao Chuo of the Liao Kingdom, the woman who held power in the Daliao Dynasty for 30 years.

Our descendants have always regarded the Song Dynasty as orthodox, but at this period in history, under Xiao Chuo's power, all the surrounding barbarians respected the Daliao as the co-lord of the world, not the Song Dynasty.

Xiao Hunian is Xiao Chuo's eldest sister, and of course she is also a well-known figure.

After Xiao Chuo came to power, he intended to increase the strength of the Xiao family, but the Xiao family had no rising stars to praise, so he pushed his elder sister out and let Xiao Hunian lead the army.

As a result, Xiao Hunian, as a daughter, led troops to the west to prevent divination, Fuzhen northwest, defeated the party, broke Mongolia, conquered all the tribes in the north who did not accept Khitan, and set up three prefectures of Zhen, Fang and Wei on the Mobei Grassland , personally led the troops to sit in the town, so that Mobei Mongolia and Shiwei bowed their heads and ears to Khitan, and it was called "traveling like a family" in history.

From the point of view of the Liao Kingdom, Xiao Hunian is a proper female hero, and the commander in chief of the town.

But in the end, it seemed that his younger sister Xiao Chuo was killed. Luo Youdu didn't know the specific reason.

Because of this, Xiao Hunian, a border commander with a special status, has no biography in history.

"Let's go, go and have a look at this eldest lady of the Xiao family!"

Luo Youdu said to Hu Yanzan beside him, and led the soldiers to the first floor of the pavilion.

Looking at the pitch-black oil in the stairwell, Luo Youdu did not go up, but shouted from below: "Miss Xiao, Luo Youdu is here, you can come down."

Xiao Hunian on the attic lifted his spirits and asked, "How do you prove that you are Luo Youdu?"

Luo Youdu couldn't help laughing, and said: "Then how do you prove that you are the eldest lady of the Xiao family? If you don't come down, I will be set on fire."

It was impossible for him to go up anyway.

Judging by the voice, Xiao Hunian should not be very old.

It should be very different from the Liao border commander who was so powerful in Mobei in history.

But Xiao Hunian must have the potential to become a great commander, and Luo Youdu dare not underestimate her easily, because she is a woman and she is in danger.

"Don't, don't!"

Xiao Hunian hurriedly said: "I surrender, just come down."

A few quilts were dropped in the attic, covering up the oil.

Xiao Hunian stepped on the quilt and walked down step by step cautiously.

Luo Youdu looked at Xiao Hunian.

Xiao Hunian's appearance is obviously different from that of Central Plains women. He has a high nose and deep eyes, almond eyes and peach cheeks.

At this moment, she was wearing a red armor, and she really looked like a heroine among women.

She is also a very witty heroine in the female middle school, she directly threw her sword to Luo Youdu, as if she was at her disposal.

Luo Youdu looked curiously at the two-handed long sword in his hand, and said, "Take it down!"

Xiao Hunian looked a little panicked.

Seeing this, Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Don't worry, my subordinates won't do anything to you."

Xiao Hunian asked to see him because he was afraid that as a woman, he would fall into the enemy's hands and be insulted.

Compared with being captured in the midst of chaos, it is obviously safer for Luo Youdu to capture it directly.

After hearing this, Xiao Hunian felt relieved and no longer resisted.

Watching Xiao Hunian leave, Luo Youdu suddenly thought of something funny, what would happen if Xiao Chuo was captured to the Central Plains, leaving Liao Jingzong Ye Luxian without a good wife.

Although Liao Jingzong Yeluxian was the Lord of Khitan's resurgence, he was frail and sick due to excessive fright since he was a child. Empress Xiao Chuo became an important political and military decision-maker in the Liao Dynasty because of this.

Killing Khitan's most outstanding politician first, the impact on Khitan should be extremely huge.

Thinking of this, Luo Youdu immediately said to Quan Xu: "Take some people to the Xiao family to get them, search carefully, and don't let anyone in the Xiao family go, especially the little girl named Xiao Chuo or Yanyan... "

Xiao Chuo's nickname is Yan Yan, and Luo Youdu doesn't know if he is called Xiao Chuo or Yan Yan at this time.

Quan Xu looked at Luo Youdu with some curiosity, and took the order to go.

Arriving at the tower at the west section of the South Gate, Shi Fang had already been bound to the ground, and he seemed to have fainted, the blood on his face was all from Li Qiang's beating.

Luo Youdu encouraged Li Qiang, who had made great contributions, and the capital named Zhang Wei, and said, "Don't worry, I, the Central Plains, is the teacher of the king, and the emperor of the Great Zhou Dynasty is even a rare British lord. The people of Youzhou are the people of my Central Plains, Your Majesty." There will be no prejudice against you. You can cooperate with our army to appease the people in the city, and if you are done, I will credit you for your merit."

Li Qiang and Zhang Wen hurriedly obeyed.

Shi Fang woke up leisurely, seeing Li Qiang and Zhang Wen nodding and bowing to one person, he couldn't help cursing: "It's shameful to be a traitor for being in the company of the people who invaded my homeland!"

Luo Youdu looked at the angry Shi Fang on the ground, and smiled angrily: "Who is shameful? People who forget their ancestors, dare to laugh at others as shameful, your skin is probably thicker than the city wall of Youzhou. "

Shi Fang cursed: "The land of Youzhou was dedicated to our lord by Shi Jingtang, and I, Daliao, took it according to the fate of heaven. For decades, we have protected the environment and the people, and the land of Youdu..."

Luo Youdu didn't want to talk to a defeated general, it would be insulting to the gentleman, and it didn't match the person's design, so he turned his head and praised Hu Yan: "I don't want to listen to him."

Hu Yanzan stepped forward and raised his big foot.

This idiot only has his own people and thieves in his eyes, and his feet are black and ruthless, stepping on Shi Fang's face.

The nose was crushed flat, and there was a big black footprint on the face, and the person passed out directly.

In an instant, the world is clean.

This kind of people is the so-called Liaohua Han people.

Luo Youdu asked Shi Fang to be dragged down to see how Guo Rong would deal with it.

Standing on the city wall of Youzhou, Luo Youdu stretched out his hand to touch the ancient city wall, feeling an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

After 20 years, Youzhou returned to the embrace of the Central Plains.

If it weren't for me, the city wall of Youzhou might not be able to return to the embrace of the Central Plains until the Ming Dynasty Zhu Yuanzhang's Northern Expedition.

Of course he remembered that Youzhou was briefly bought from Jinren during Song Huizong's period.

But Luo Youdu didn't feel that the way of getting it was almost humiliating, it was a real return.

This time, they took it back with real swords and guns.
