Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 289 Feed Mr. Han Medicine
Youzhou.

Han Lingkun came slowly with his soldiers and horses.

After driving more than [-] cattle, sheep and horses into Fragrant Mountain, he set up an ambush in the complicated terrain, waiting for the Khitans to take the bait.

Gao Xun, who came after him, was cautious, even though he knew how important these [-] cattle, sheep and horses were to the current Khitan.

However, as a Khitanized Han Chinese, I have done some research on the saying that "a dead Taoist friend never dies a poor Taoist".

The loss of the herd has nothing to do with him. Sending troops to support him is the utmost benevolence. There is no need to take risks and go deep into the complex terrain of Xiangshan.

So Gao Xun withdrew cleanly.

Han Lingkun waited for half a day, but saw no movement from the enemy, and knew that the enemy would not come.

But for the sake of safety, he still stayed in the southwest of Xiangshan Mountain for one night, and then according to Luo Youdu's arrangement, he drove all the animals to the grassland near Zhuozhou, and temporarily grazed them.

Such a large number of cattle, sheep and horses must be turned over to the court for distribution.

Han Lingkun left a small part of the reward army, and handed over the rest to the governor of Zhuozhou, ordering him to discuss the distribution method with the court.

After everything was arranged, Han Lingkun returned to Youzhou.

When entering the city, Luo Youdu ordered to reward the wounded soldiers first, and ordered five hundred sheep to be driven to the wounded soldiers to eat meat for the wounded soldiers.

I came to Youzhou government office to report the situation with Luo Youdu.

Knowing Han Lingkun's arrival, Luo Youdu walked out of the mansion to greet him in person.

"Hard work, Brother Han!"

Han Lingkun said with emotion: "I finally understand why Lao Shi said that fighting with you was like a dream, and he didn't know how to win. I was surprised, although the Khitan herd of 40 is not difficult to find. But the Khitan The eyeliner of the scouts is not a decoration, how did you know where their herd is located?"

Luo Youdu made a gesture of invitation, entered the government office together with Han Lingkun, and said as they walked: "I am different from you. You charge into battle by responding to the enemy and relying on your blood and bravery. I don't have any of these. You can start thinking elsewhere.”

"It's not hard to guess exactly where the Khitan herds are. There are so many cattle, sheep and horses to graze, and the word 'grassland' is indispensable. Wherever there are aquatic plants, there must be their presence."

"I deliberately ignored their herds because I didn't want to scare the snakes. In fact, when I invaded Youzhou, I kept in mind the hundreds of miles of grasslands near Youzhou that are suitable for grazing cattle and sheep in the archives in the city."

"There is no need to search everywhere, it is easy to analyze the approximate direction."

Han Lingkun gave a thumbs up and said: "It's amazing, I really didn't think so much about such a simple matter as fighting a war..."

"By the way!" He thought of something and asked, "What's the meaning of the kit? I thought it was a good thing, and it was hidden like a treasure. Zhang Guanghan asked me many times, but I was reluctant to open it. I didn't wait until the critical moment. There is nothing in it, just looking forward to a..."

Luo Youdu smiled pointedly: "What's the point, I know everything I want to know."

Han Lingkun's face changed slightly, and he said, "You mean Zhang Guanghan?"

Luo Youdu shrugged his shoulders and said: "I didn't say anything, but His Majesty is sick this time, there are some things that need to be paid attention to. Especially you and I are away on an expedition, and we don't have a thorough understanding of the changes in the situation in Beijing. main idea."

Han Lingkun whispered: "There will be changes in Beijing?"

Luo Youdu nodded silently, and said: "The news we have so far is that Li Xiangxiang has been transferred from the central center, and went to Jiangling to serve as Jiedu envoy. Han Tong will be in charge of the guards and military division..."

The pupils of Han Lingkun's eyes shrank.

Luo Youdu was already mentally prepared, as long as Guo Rong was given time, Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde would definitely go down.

The two of them have too much influence in the military.

Give Luo Youdu three to five years, and Luo Youdu is confident to catch up with them, because almost all the talents of the new generation in the Great Zhou Dynasty gather in the Imperial Camp.

The future looks bright for the Royal Division.

But now the contacts of the older generation are in the hands of Li Chongjin and Zhang Yongde.

If Guo Rong is really gone, neither Li Chongjin nor Zhang Yongde can be dealt with by Luo Youdu at present.

In order to pave the way for Guo Zongxun, they were transferred away from the center, and the removal of military power was a certainty.

But this news was really shocking in Han Lingkun's eyes. Li Chongjin was the Dinghai needle of the Dazhou military, and he himself was picked up by Li Chongjin.

"The envoy..."

Han Lingkun was a little flustered.

Luo Youdu said: "Brother Han, don't worry, you and I will recover this land of Yanyou as soon as possible, and return to the court with the achievements in our hands, how can the court treat us badly? Besides, I will take care of everything, brother, why panic?"

Han Lingkun was right when he thought about it. When the sky fell, didn't there be a tall person to hold it up?

"But there is one thing that I have to discuss with my brother!"

Luo Youdu smiled maliciously.

Han Lingkun suppressed the uneasiness in his heart, and said, "Tell me, why are you being polite to me!" He looked at Luo Youdu's teacup on the desk, and was not polite, took it directly to drink, and was shocked.

Luo Youdu said: "I have fallen in love with Gao Huaide, you can give me Gao Huaide!"

"puff!"

Han Lingkun squirted out the tea together, rubbed his throat and said, "You're really welcome, Lao Gao is the number one general of the Guards Division and the trump card of the Ma Jun Division."

Luo Youdu refilled his cup of tea, and said in a casual manner: "Why are you being polite? What is the number one tiger general, Ma Junsi's trump card? The real trump card is in front of me, so it's not my turn to get old brother Gao."

Han Lingkun wiped off the tea from his beard and said, "Forget it, I can see that you two have met each other a long time ago. However, I don't count on this matter. Although Brother Gao's Hu Jie Army is under my Ma Junsi , but the transfer of a general of his level has to be approved by Han Tong, the commander-in-chief, and the officials have to agree."

Now that Bu Shuai is officially overpowering Ma Shuai, Han Lingkun's heart is full of resentment.

Luo Youdu said: "You don't have to worry about this, you can let go, everything will be easy to handle. I will talk to the officials. As for Han Tong, it's easy to say, I don't know him well, so he won't allow me to grab it."

Han Lingkun was looking forward to it, Li Zhongjin was transferred to Jiangling, and there was really no one in the Guards and Military Division who could challenge Luo Youdu.

**********
Shunzhou.

Yelvjing looked at the secret letter in his hand, looked at Yeluchong in front of him and said, "So, Han Kuangsi really has a problem?"

Yeluchong said: "There is no doubt that Han Kuangsi fainted this time. The King of Song personally visited the mansion, and the two talked privately for a quarter of an hour. It is unknown what they said. The close relationship between them was beyond the expectation of the subordinates. After the King of Song returned, So I sent people to Zuzhou to convey the news. The people I sent have been intercepted by my subordinates, and the letter was found from the horse's belly."

Yelvjing had a sneer on his face, and his eyes were full of murderous intent.

Zuzhou, that was a forbidden place in his heart.

Zuzhou is the place where the Yelu family lived for generations. Yelu Abao got its name because its great-grandfather, great-grandfather, grandfather, and father were all born here.

A mother and son are under house arrest in Zuzhou, Liao Taizu Yelu Abaoji Empress Shuluping and his son Yelu Lihu.

After Yelujing's father Taizong Yelu Deguang became the emperor of the Central Plains, he felt that the Central Plains rule was turbulent, so he stopped his troops and returned to the north. He died of illness in Luancheng on the way.

The eldest grandson of Yelu Abao and Yelu Ruan, the eldest son of Yelubei, took the opportunity to steal the throne.

Shuluping loves Yelu Lihu, but does not recognize Yelu Ruan.The two sides confronted each other at the crossing of the Henghe River, and Yelu Wuzhi persuaded them to make peace, and finally reached an agreement on the crossing.

Shuluping and Yelu Lihu were forced to recognize Yelu Ruan's throne.

Shuluping and Yelu Lihu were also imprisoned in Zuzhou by Yelu Ruan.

Because Yeluruan was not in the right position, during his reign, he conspired constantly.

Later, Yelu Chaga launched the Huoshendian Rebellion and killed Liao Shizong Yelu Ruan.

Yelujing took advantage of the situation to rise up, punished Yelv Chage, and formally ascended the throne.

Although he is the eldest son of Taizong Yelu Deguang, he is the most qualified to inherit the throne in terms of blood.

But from an orthodox point of view, the real successor of Khitan should be his uncle, Yelu Deguang's half-brother, Yelu Lihu recognized by Taizu Empress Shuluping.

The King of Song that Yeluuchong said was Yelu Xiyin, the eldest son of Yelu Lihu.

"Okay, that's great!" Yelvjing laughed sharply.

The content of the letter was to get Yelu Lihu ready to respond, and Yelu Xiyin planned to launch a coup while he was drunk.

"Come on, invite Mr. Han!"

Yelujing let out a loud cry.

When Han Kuangsi came to the government office in Shunzhou, he didn't know what happened. He thought that Luo Youdu from Youzhou had changed something, so he rushed here anxiously, intending to avenge his shame.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

After saluting respectfully, Han Kuangsi said, "But there is another change in the Central Plains?"

Yelujing smiled and said: "Don't worry, Mr. Han is weak, I have prepared a bowl of soup for you, please take it!"

He waved.

Yeluchong walked over with a bowl of black and smelly liquid in his hand.

Han Kuangsi's complexion changed drastically. He is proficient in medical science. Back then, because of his proficiency in medical skills, he worked as an errand in Changning Palace, serving Empress Shu Luping of Chunqin, thus gaining a chance to be promoted.

The smell, the liquid, he could tell it was the juice of hemlock root.

Once this thing drinks too much, the breathing speeds up, the whole body convulses, and dies in pain.

In an instant, Han Kuangsi understood something, it must be the conspiracy between himself and Yelv Xiyin, and Yelujing knew about it.

"Forgive me, Your Majesty forgive me!"

Han Kuangsi kowtowed like pounding garlic, and said: "The minister was drunk and made a mistake, and the blame fell into the hands of the King of Song. It is not willing."

He was telling half truths.

Yelujing is obsessed with hunting and ignores the government, while Han Kuangsi has great ambitions and wants to become a famous minister through the ages. He is doing nothing under Yelujing's command and has no use for him.

In grief and indignation, he drank and bought drunk.

When they met Yelu Xiyin who wanted to rebel, the two hit it off.

Han Kuangsi did not expect that the Northern Expedition of the Central Plains would happen, nor did he expect that Yelujing would value him so much during the Northern Expedition, but it was not easy to get off after boarding a pirate ship.

Yelujing said coldly: "I can allow you to associate with the stupid Yelu Xiyin, but I cannot allow you to collude with the Central Plains and cause our army to be defeated again and again."

"Yeluchong, if Mr. Han doesn't want to drink, feed him!"
