Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 261 Test each other
The last Chen Sirang, he is the best to dismiss.

Chen Sixang is too steady, only suitable for defense, not for offense.

He attaches great importance to fame, and also likes to defend. If he wants to keep his banner of constant victory, if he encounters an attack, he will definitely risk his life.

It would be best to let him be in charge of the defense of Youzhou City.

After all, the Dingyuan army is the weakest among his capable soldiers.

It is also suitable for defense.

Chen Sirang was apprehensive at first, and if he really wanted to arrange important tasks for himself, what should he do?
But when Luo Youdu arranged for him to do what he was good at, he suddenly regained his energy and said loudly: "The general will obey!"

This method of employing people first pays attention to using them according to the person, and arranges them to the position they like, so that there will be no chaos and they can obey their own arrangements.

As for the next Enwei, it has to be done step by step in the future contact.

Once these three people are arranged, the rest will be easy to handle.

Either brothers or subordinates, they trust each other and understand each other.

As far as Luo Youdu's character is concerned, is it really beneficial to lose them?

This first meeting was mainly for Murong Yanzhao, Yuan Yan, and Chen Si to get out of the way, and the second was to express the meaning of fighting with Khitan.

There are many ways to fight Khitan.

The best way is a word "consumption".

The Khitan can't fight a protracted war, so don't think that a grassland nation like the Khitan really doesn't need logistical support.

On the contrary, the logistics they need cannot be met in ordinary places.

Their horses, their cattle and sheep all need grass.

They need a lot of forage to maintain the daily needs of military horses, cattle and sheep.

In the border of Youzhou, how can there be so much fodder for them?
The more they are consumed, the more uncomfortable they become.

Moreover, Luo Youdu also planned to send someone to burn all the hay near Youyan after autumn, and keep it so that the Khitan people would feel like dying.

He learned this trick from Fu Yanqing's handwriting, and it originated from Liu Rengong, the separatist general of Yanyun Land.

Liu Rengong occupied the land of Lulong and controlled the soldiers of Youzhou. Because of his weak strength, Zhu Wen beat him all over the head.

So he vented his anger on Khitan, and every autumn when the grass was long and the horses were fat, Liu Rengong would send cavalry to cross the Xingxing Mountain to wander around the Khitan tribe's pastures and set fire to the pastures.

There were not many people, so a hundred or ten people were sent to throw a torch suddenly. The weather in autumn was dry, and the wind outside the Great Wall was strong, and the water source was tight. When the fire came together, it was impossible to control it, and large tracts of grassland were burned.

As a result, Khitan's cattle, sheep and war horses had nothing to eat in winter, and they starved to death in pieces.

Facing such a sinister trick, Khitan had no choice but to surrender directly to Liu Rengong.

Just like the Song Dynasty spent money to buy peace, Khitan also spent money to buy pastures with Liu Rengong.

Such a method that has no gold content but has miraculous effects, how can Luo Youdu not follow suit?

In a word, don't let him regain the Yanshan line of defense.

Otherwise, if there is a good pasture within a hundred miles to the north of the Great Wall, Luo Youdu is not doing enough.

It's just that things are different now.

Luo Youdu was very worried about Guo Rong's condition. Although Zhao Kuangyin didn't have enough prestige to wear a yellow robe, the brothers of the Zhao family, one capable of righteousness and the other cunning, were not easy to save and had to be guarded against.

The sooner the war is resolved and the old place of Yanyou is recovered, the earlier the changes in the Central Plains will be dealt with.

Of course, Luo Youdu didn't mean to force the war regardless of the outcome.

How to fight, how to fight.

Just slightly changed the way of strategic direction.

At the end of the meeting, Luo Youdu drew a big cake as a matter of course, looked at everyone, and said: "Throughout the ages, there is no one who is truly famous in history, who defeated the Hulu and recovered the rivers and mountains. The Khitan barbarians have occupied my hometown of Yanyou for more than [-] years, relying on the geographical advantage , Invading the bandits year after year. It has long been my pain in the Central Plains and the shame of China. This achievement of avenging shame and returning to the land is not only in the present, but also in the future."

"On the contrary, if we are defeated, we will also become the country's sinners and be reviled forever."

"This is highly valued by the officials, and I am fortunate to lead the princes, and it happens to be at the meeting. When encountering such a beautiful event, we should work together and seize this opportunity. Get a great achievement for thousands of years, and pass on the reputation for thousands of years!"

Thousands of years of achievements, thousands of years of great reputation.

Regardless of whether it is the same name or the emphasis on merit, these two passages can tickle people's itch.

Especially now that Luo Youdu's prestige is growing day by day, it's hard not to take his words as a matter of course.

Murong Yanzhao really lived up to his name, he likes to fight and is capable of fighting, it is indeed the best choice to use him as a striker to test each other with Khitan and seek opportunities to fight.

After receiving the order, Murong Yanzhao took the initiative to attack that night.

Perhaps it was because Khitan was used to Zhou's army's defense instead of offense, so they were a little slack in defense, which took advantage of Murong Yanzhao's loopholes.

Murong Yanzhao used the darkness to get close to the second mile of the Khitan's camp, only to be discovered by the Khitan's scouts, who used the bone flute to warn.

Seeing this, Murong Yanzhao was not afraid at all, and directly accelerated his attack to attack the Khitan camp.

The overall structural layout of the Khitan camp was more than a little worse than that of the camp that Biluo Youdu had set up.

Although the Khitan had been warned by the scouts in advance, Murong Yanzhao's speed was too fast, and it was difficult to organize a decent counterattack in a temporary emergency.

Murong Yanzhao broke through a hundred tents and made a big fuss.

Murong Yanzhao didn't go up and clicked until the end, when the Khitan General Yelusha was about to encircle Murong Yanzhao, he slipped out of the encirclement first.

In the first field confrontation, Zhou Bing obviously took advantage.

Murong Yanzhao didn't lose many soldiers and horses, and directly killed more than 800 Khitan soldiers.

In the next few days, Murong Yanzhao fought with Khitan soldiers many times, the frequency was frighteningly high.

Luo Youdu was even a little worried that Murong Yanzhao would not be able to bear it, so he asked Gao Huaide to follow suit to share some of the pressure for him.

The Khitan has already lost [-] Pishi troops in this southward march. Even though all the Khitan people are soldiers and have a sufficient source of troops, they cannot bear such consumption.

After all, Khitan is not monolithic, and there are many internal contradictions.

If the damage was too much, the Khitan emperor Yelujing might not be able to sit comfortably.

Luo Youdu is similar, he is leading the army for the first time, and he is alone.

If he directly loses [-] to [-] troops, no one can keep him.

This is destined to have a series of encounters and tentative offensive battles before the war between the two sides.

This kind of small battle has little impact on the outcome, but it has a certain improvement in morale.

Gao Huaide fully played his own value.

In the face of the army, the effect of personal bravery is minimal.

But in such a small-scale battle, it would be too advantageous to have a peerless general like Gao Huaide who has won the three armies.

The results of Murong Yanzhao's encounter with Khitan were about six or four.

Murong Yanzhao has a certain advantage, but the loss rate of the war horse makes Luo Youdu feel extremely distressed.

But Gao Huaide's record was [-]. The last time was not a loss, but the opponent already knew how powerful Gao Huaide was, so he shot a wave of arrows and ran away without even thinking of fighting.

So it's a tie!
