Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 296 Luo Youdu's Determination
"call!"

Luo Youdu blew away the dust in one breath, and clapped his hands.

The chaos in Bianjing was somewhat beyond his expectations, but it made sense after careful consideration.

The reason lies in himself and Zhao Kuangyin.

Without his own existence in history, Guo Rong could not afford to form the Big Three of the military to check and balance each other.

As a result, Zhao Kuangyin's family is the only one, and Han Tong, who holds the position of guard and military commander, is more than one level worse than Zhao Kuangyin.

Therefore, many policies of Guo Rong in history were used to check and balance Zhao Kuangyin.

It was just resolved by Zhao Kuangyin, Zhao Kuangyi, and Zhao Pu.They used the greed of human nature to break the balance carefully laid by Guo Rong.

Some people said why not get rid of Zhao Kuangyin, that's all.

This is a bit taken for granted. On the one hand, Guo Rong's illness came and went quickly, and he really couldn't take care of many things.

More importantly, the world was not unified at that time, and everyone was watching.

Not to mention continuing to complete the great cause of unification, there are no strong generals.Facing powerful enemies from all directions, facing the arrogant soldiers and powerful generals within the Great Zhou, how can the orphans and widows defend the world?
Zhao Kuangyin is indeed a big threat, but if there is no Zhao Kuangyin to restrain the arrogant soldiers, the situation facing Da Zhou will be even worse.

The situation is completely different now. Zhao Kuangyin is far behind in history in terms of fame and strength.

Zhao Kuangyin is not a law-abiding person, so he is calm and composed compared to the history of winning.

With his weak strength, he is even more dangerous.In order to be able to compete with myself in the near future, I am sparing no effort to develop and strengthen myself.

Guo Rong even gave Zhao Kuangyin some support in this regard in order to make Zhao Kuangyin comparable to himself.

Originally, Guo Rong's physical condition was not optimistic.

Everyone in Bianjing was in panic, and Zhao Kuangyin made frequent moves. The other military officials were inevitably affected and formed cliques.

Civil servants have a more transparent view of the situation and inevitably consider their own future.

In this way, the situation will become more turbulent, which is inevitable.

Thinking of Guo Rong's current physical condition, Luo Youdu couldn't help feeling a little sad.

The emperor Guo Rong really had nothing to say to him...

only……

"Your Majesty, I'm sorry!"

Luo Youdu said softly, from the bits and pieces of information revealed in the letter, he could fully see that Guo Rong had set a lot of constraints on his current power and influence for the sake of balance.

He can understand all the arrangements Guo Rong made for the sake of the Great Zhou Dynasty and the inheritance of the foundation, and he can even accept some unfair treatment.

As far as Guo Rong usually takes care of Zhiyu, it is really nothing if he is wronged at critical times.

But he absolutely couldn't accept being the auxiliary minister with Zhao Kuangyin.

Guo Rong only knew that Zhao Kuangyin had ambitions, but Luo Youdu knew that Zhao Kuangyin's ambitions had turned into ambitions the moment Guo Rong fell ill.

This is fatal.

The Great Zhou Dynasty has not yet been unified. Western Shu, Southern Tang, Wuping, and Wuyue are all subject to them in name only. The Northern Han and Southern Han still regard themselves as emperors and occupy a large area of ​​territory.

The Dingnan Army is in a state of obedience and defiance, the Uighurs in Ganzhou, the Guiyi Army in the two states of Shagua...

And a powerful foreign enemy like Khitan...

There is a long way to go in the future, Luo Youdu doesn't want to fall into endless intrigue with Zhao Kuangyin, let alone worry about Zhao Kuangyin leading the army to the expedition, and also worrying about Zhao Kuangyin sitting in the rear.

The same Luo Youdu believes that Zhao Kuangyin will not rest assured of himself...

The two of them assisting the government together are like two fierce tigers in the mountains, and sooner or later there will be a battle.

Luo Youdu stretched his waist greatly, his bones creaked after sitting for a long time.

Stretching his body, he walked out of the tent and looked at the stars in the night sky.

From Zhao Kuangyin's point of view, it is reasonable to take advantage of his absence to grab some resources and expand his strength.

But it is this reasonable thing that has a high probability of destroying him.

Here's an opportunity!
Once in a lifetime opportunity.

Luo Youdu looked at the brightest one in the sky, swept away the haze in his heart, and a sentence flashed in his mind: "The first battle is the end!"

His gaze also became firm, resolute!

The later they fight each other, the more damage they will do to Da Zhou.

Long-term pain is worse than short-term pain, Luo Youdu does not intend to follow Guo Rong's arrangement.

There is no imminent link, and there is no plan to consume each other. Bright swords are a battle of life and death.

Luo Youdu and Zhao Kuangyin must fall one by one.

He glanced at Jizhou City, which was like a giant beast in the darkness.

But before going back to kill Zhao Kuangyin, he had to chew down Jizhou City first.

at dawn.

The war drum sounded suddenly.

Xie Li stood on the top of the city tower, looking at the orderly array of stone catapults not far away, there were more than a hundred of them.

The entire city wall on the left and right sides of the city is within range of the catapult.

This Khitan veteran, who was nearly sixty years old, already had a trace of death in his eyes.

A lonely city cannot be defended, and Xie Li, who has experienced many battles, naturally knows this truth.

Luo Youdu was surrounded by three people and one was missing, giving them space to escape and giving them a chance to escape.

Xie Li was unmoved.

From the start, the veteran had no intention of surviving.

"Your Majesty, soon! Xie Li is coming to accompany you!"

Xie Li grew up with Yelu Deguang, and more than once he heard Yelu Deguang talk about his lofty ambitions, drink horses from the Yellow River, enter the Central Plains, and taste the taste of the emperor of the Central Plains.

Yelu Deguang tried his best to win the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun from Shi Jingtang, successfully destroyed Shi Chonggui, and entered Bianliang, Tokyo as the emperor of the Central Plains.

The scene of Yelu Deguang wearing the heavenly crown and crimson gauze gown, accepting the congratulations of hundreds of officials in the Chongyuan Hall, emerged in front of Xie Li.

Xie Li suddenly drew out the scimitar from his waist, and shouted: "Guo thief is rampant, invaded my homeland, expelled my sage, and now wants to invade Jizhou. I, Xie Li, swear here to live and die with Jizhou city, If there are people, the city will be destroyed!"

Xie Li's prestige in Jizhou was extremely high. Those who received his grace echoed this tragic cry, and their morale was high.

Xie Li said in his heart: "Before you come down, let the Central Plains people know that Youzhou was taken down by you. If you want to take it back easily, you have to ask Xie Li if his knife is sharp enough."

Just as he was thinking like this, he saw countless flying stones coming through the air.

The arrogance suddenly disappeared, and he retracted his body into the female wall.

Flying stones smashed behind the city wall one by one, making a thunderous explosion.

Luo Youdu did not choose to directly send troops to attack by force. Facing a famous general and the situation where the whole city is in harmony, it is too unwise to attack by force.

Since there was a shortage of catapults in the city, Luo Youdu directly transported the catapults built during the attack on Youzhou City, the inventory of Youzhou City itself, and the catapults originally transported from Jizhou to Shunzhou to the front line.

The number is not large, just over four hundred.

When preparing to transport the siege equipment, Luo Youdu arranged for another [-] soldiers to collect boulders along the Yanshan Mountains. The number was not many, about [-].

Don't care about anything, let's talk about it for a few days and nights.

　Thanks for the [-] rewards from Shuyou Shijiang and Digital Shuyou, thank you for your support!
