Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 328 Fighting the Battle of Establishing a Nation
Bianjing University.

Funing Palace.

Luo Youdu kissed Fu Qing'er on the forehead, and said: "I have made an appointment with several ministers of the Privy Council to discuss military affairs, and you can sleep for a while."

Fu Qing'er was a little lazy last night, so she responded.

Feng Zhu walked into the room with a simple red shirt, ready to serve Luo Youdu to get dressed.

Luo Youdu originally wanted to give Fengzhu a concubine, but Fengzhu didn't want it, and he was not willing to part with Fu Qing'er, so he followed her.

He opened his hands and let Fengzhu dress himself. Seeing that Fu Qing'er didn't seem to be sleepy, Luo Youdu said: "Yesterday, the Ministry of Rites asked me if I wanted to choose a concubine... I said choosing a concubine is fine. Wait until it's resolved." Let's take the Zhou family's eldest lady into the palace after the current difficulty. What does the queen think?"

Fu Qing'er smiled and said: "I thought that Mr. Zhou had forgotten about Mrs. Zhou's family. I have delayed her for a long time. It's time to give her an identity. It's boring for a concubine to be alone in the palace. It's good to have one more sister to accompany her. But the lady of the Zhou family has entered the palace, what about the lady of the Xiao family? Do you want to enter the palace too?"

Luo Youdu was dumbfounded.

This is back to Bianjing.

How to arrange Xiao Hunian and Xiao Chuo is a problem.

After some consideration, Luo Youdu asked Xiao Hunian to protect Zhou Ehuang. After all, the number one talented woman in the Central Plains is too famous...

As for Xiao Chuo, he stayed in Luo Zhai as a little maid.

Unexpectedly, Xiao Chuo had a very sweet mouth, which won Uncle Huber's favor, and he yelled "Grandpa is long, grandpa is short", which made Hu Bo amused.

Luo Youdu simply left Xiao Chuo in Luo Zhai to take care of and accompany Huber.

Luo Youdu didn't mean to kill anyone, he just wanted to change her future course, and didn't care much about the others.

"I'll think about it later, let's talk about it later."

After getting dressed and washing, Luo Youdu came to Yanhe Hall.

Zhao Pu was already waiting outside the hall.

"Come early enough!"

Luo Youdu said casually.

Zhao Pu first saluted and bowed: "I have seen Your Majesty!" Then he said: "Your Majesty must have something important to call, so I dare not neglect."

Luo Youdu smiled and said, "Go in!"

The two walked into the hall one after the other.

Luo Youdu asked him to sit down and asked about the public opinion on the street.

Zhao Pu worshiped and said: "Your Majesty is also a man of God. The means of controlling public opinion are beyond the reach of your subordinates. Just as Your Majesty thinks, gossip cannot be suppressed. The more you suppress it, the more guilty you will appear, which is suspicious. You can't expect rumors to stop at wise men, either. There are no absolute wise men or fools in this world, and most people will believe what they want to hear, not whether things are right or wrong."

"Your Majesty's method of guidance is ingenious. Using your method, the people in Bianjing really shifted their minds to Zhao Kuangyin, the nature of Fan Zhi's rebellion, and Zhao Kuangyi's surrender to the Khitan treason. My subordinates also reminded people of the past. The absurd things that Yelu Deguang did when he entered the Central Plains inspired the hearts of the people to fight against each other..."

"It is true that Zhao Kuangyin and Fan Zhi are rebels, and Zhao Kuangyi is a traitor. Naturally, no one will discuss the traitor's appeal."

Luo Youdu smiled slightly. This method of guiding public opinion is very common in later generations, but he doesn't think that the wisdom of the ancients can't see through the key points, especially people like Zhao Pu.

To say such an exaggeration is just flattering oneself.

Not to mention, it's cool.

Luo Youdu asked: "What do you think of Zhang Jin and his subordinates?"

Zhao Pu thought about it carefully, and said: "Zhang Jin is bold and loyal and can be trusted. But the strange people he knows have miraculous effects all the time, but they can't be reused. Their conduct is different. Once they gain power, they are easy to do evil and cause harm. side."

Luo Youdu nodded and said nothing more.

At this time, news came from outside the hall that Wei Renpu and Song Qi asked to see him.

Luo Youdu let the two of them enter.

After seeing the ceremony, Wei Renpu handed over the news they had sorted out with a heavy heart, and said, "Your Majesty, the situation is not optimistic now. The envoys urged Li Yun to enter Beijing many times, but Li Yun tried various reasons to evade it. Obviously there is a delay. It means. It is said that Liu Chengjun from Hedong secretly sent someone to contact Li Yun, and the two sides have had contact."

Luo Youdu said: "It is said that it was Li Yun who said it. He complained to me, and he was a little dissatisfied with the way Sejong cut power and installed the supervising army. He was afraid that I would move him, and even took away his military power. The news leaked out, and he wanted me to meet his request due to the situation. After all, Li Yun might not be interested in the strength of the Northern Han Dynasty."

Song Qi said: "This matter should also be true. The Khitan supported the Puppet Zhou in order to disrupt our court. They have spent so much effort, and they will definitely not let go of this opportunity to make small troubles. It is not just Li Yun, the lower official probably Regardless of inside or outside, they may send people to lobby. Such as Jiangnan, Wuping, Bashu, Dingnan Army, and even Fugu Zhejia, Baoguo Gong (Wang Jing), and even Li Xiangxiang. This is what we want Turbulence, no matter whether it is successful or not, as long as it can leave a bad impression in His Majesty's heart, the plan will be considered to have achieved its goal."

Luo Youdu looked at the information collected by the local officials of the prefectures and counties adjacent to the enemy: "Everywhere is not peaceful..." He turned to the last page as he said, it was gone,

Immediately slapped in the face.

There is no news about the change in Shuzhong.

Luo Youdu asked curiously: "Is there any news from Shu?"

Wei Renpu shook his head and said: "The same news came from Xiazhou, Fengzhou, and Jiezhou. Meng Chang is more ridiculous than Li Jing. His spittoon is inlaid with seven gems, and there is no change..."

Luo Youdu remembered Quan Xu's dissatisfaction with Meng Chang, and smiled secretly: "This good man who made himself famous all over the world, is he really lying flat?"

"It seems that the situation is not as bad as imagined! At least, we can arrange fewer people in Xishu."

Luo Youdu didn't seem to be worried about the current situation at all, and even made a joke.

Wei Renpu has always been rigorous, and said: "Your Majesty, there are internal and external troubles in all directions, and no one should be underestimated. The new dynasty is not stable, and the people's hearts are uncertain. Once it loses, the world will return to chaos, and all the thieves will divide it together."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Wei Xiang is right, but in this crisis, there is a chance. They all think that I am a bully, so let the world know. Who is the one who bullies!"

Zhao Pu said loudly: "Your Majesty's words are true. Don't look at everyone who wants to tear a piece of meat on my Xinchao. They all show signs of doing something. In fact, they are nothing more than a group of chickens and dogs. Your Majesty's reputation has long been spread all over the world, even in secret. The planners are eloquent, and they can't change their ulterior motives. The subordinates are sure that they will not dare to act first. They will choose to sit and watch the situation of the fighters. They are thousands of miles apart, and it is impossible to act in unison. As long as we Get ahead of them, attack with lightning speed, smash the enemy on one side, and the rest will retreat in fear. Just clean up..."

Luo Youdu nodded in agreement.

In the current situation, unless the enemies inside and outside the Quartet abandon their self-interests and attack with all their strength at the same time.

Being able to do this, Luo Youdu may not be able to hold on, but is this realistic?
Obviously not!
Wei Renpu was stunned for a while, and said, "Your Majesty, has already thought about seeking war from the beginning? The previous deployment and defense arrangements are all illusions?"

"That's right!" Luo Youdu laughed and said, "This is a battle for the establishment of a country. If it is not fought vigorously, how can it reflect the new atmosphere of the new dynasty?"

Wei Renpu's eyes were in a trance, as if he had returned to five years ago. At that time, Guo Rong faced the first battle after ascension to the throne with the same high spirits, the same confidence, his body was warm, and his blood was a little boiling.

Eye sockets were inexplicably red, Wei Renpu said: "Is Your Majesty planning to conquest in person, or dispatching in Bianjing?"

"Personal conquest!" Luo Youdu said without hesitation: "Some things can only be done by me in person."

Wei Renpu said: "If you want to conscript yourself, Your Majesty must take good precautions in the capital, and there must be no chaos in the capital."

Luo Youdu said: "I will leave Pan Mei to sit in the imperial camp and guard the palace. Pan Mei has been with me the longest, she has both intelligence and trustworthiness. The safety of Bianjing City will be left to Gao Huaide, who is the commander of the guards. He is not in the mood to go hunting together, I believe that no one can easily break through Bianjing."

Wei Renpu nodded approvingly, and said, "Your Majesty has to beware of the two of you."

"Who?"

"Li Chongjin, Zhang Yongde!" Wei Renpu continued: "Your Majesty, don't underestimate these two people. Li Chongjin in Jingzhou is not scary, but as long as Li Chongjin returns to Bianjing, with his prestige of contacts, he can pull up a group of veterans in Beijing. The same is true for Zhang Yongde...Your Majesty, within three to five years, it will be difficult to erase their traces in the army."

Luo Youdu smiled mysteriously: "Afterwards, I will order Zhang Yongde to be activated and transfer him away from the capital!"

Wei Renpu frowned and said, "Zhang Yongde is at home, I'm afraid he won't agree."

Luo Youdu said: "I appointed him as the deployment of Jingnan Capital, let him lead Li Chongjin, he will definitely agree..."

"cough!"

Song Qi couldn't help laughing, choking herself with saliva, and hurriedly motioned for an apology.

Wei Renpu was speechless all of a sudden.

Zhao Pu thought to himself: "Your Majesty, this is much darker than me!"

Wei Renpu said: "Your Highness is not afraid of them uniting?"

Luo Youdu said nonchalantly: "We don't have to be afraid if we unite. Don't forget Wei Xiang. Who took Nanping?"

Only then did Wei Renpu react.

Luo Youdu took Nanping without bloodshed. In order to maintain the stability of the place, the strategy of governing Nanping with Nanping was approved by Guo Rong.

The officials in Jiangling City were arranged by Luo Youdu on his behalf, and Da Zhou just sent troops to take over the defense.

Wei Renpu said: "I have lived in the Privy Council for many years, and I also have some contacts in the army. If His Highness does not give up, I am willing to stabilize the rear for His Majesty in Beijing."

Luo Youdu said with a hearty smile, "It's what I wish for. With Prime Minister Wang and Prime Minister Wei in the middle, I can fight with peace of mind on the front line."

He didn't intend to follow Guo Rong's practice of bringing the entire court with him as soon as he moved.

This is too late to fight.

The power that should not be given must never be given, but the power that should be given should be given appropriately, which is conducive to the operation of the country.
