Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 332

Fugu Zhejia.

"His Majesty's decree: Zhe Dejian, the governor of the Yong'an Army, immediately prepares his troops for battle, leads the soldiers of Fuzhou, waits for dispatch, and gathers with me in Linzhou. After that, Fuzhou and the Central Plains are connected as one, and travel is free."

Zhe Dejian bowed respectfully to receive the order, and personally sent the envoy out of the government office, and asked someone to lead him down to rest, and prepare wine and food for entertainment.

When he returned to the government office, Zhe Dejian couldn't help but frowned slightly, and said, "Go and call Da Lang!"

Not long after, Zhe Yuxun walked into the hall quickly.

Zhe Dejian handed the imperial decree to his son.

Zhe Yuxun looked at the contents of the imperial decree, his brows were also furrowed, he made up his mind, and said, "Father, my son, go visit Linzhou? Persuade Yixiong to return to the Central Plains..."

"Your Majesty sent out troops with the momentum of thunder, and he must have wanted to fight a vigorous battle to frighten the world. The only way for Han to survive is to rely on Khitan. However, Khitan lost a lot of soldiers and horses not long after they were defeated in Yandi. How many soldiers can we gather in the short term to help?"

The eldest brother that Zhe Yuxun said was Yang Zhongxun, the head of the Yang family in Linzhou.

Back then, Yang Hongxin visited Fuzhou himself in order to imitate Zhejia's policy in Fuzhou.

At that time, it was still the world of Liu Zhiyuan in the Later Han Dynasty.

Zhe Dejian and Yang Hongxin are both Hanchens. Their territories are adjacent to each other, and they are both local tyrants.

The young Zhe Yuxun and the older Yang Zhongxun became brothers with different surnames under the witness of each other's parents.

Yang Hongxin died early, and Yang Zhongxun became the head of the Yang family in Linzhou at a young age.

Later, because of Liu Jiye's relationship, the Yang family turned to the Northern Han Dynasty, but under the influence of Zhe Congruan, the Zhe family had always maintained righteousness, guarded the country for the Central Plains, resisted the Khitan and the party, and disdain to accept Khitan as the father of the Northern Han Dynasty. , Even if it is lonely in the north, surrounded by enemies, it is still struggling, and the Central Plains is regarded as orthodox.

The positions of the two are different, but the contacts in private are very close.

Especially when the Dingnan army blocked the Zhe family and the Central Plains road, the Yang family secretly gave a lot of support to the Zhe family.

Anyway, when the Zhe family sent troops to attack Dangxiang and Khitan, the rear was empty, and the Yang family never made up their minds.

At the same time, the Khitan harassed the Zhe family very much, and when they planned to attack Fugu together with the Northern Han, the Zhe family would always get the news at the first time and take all precautions.

It's not that Liu Chengjun doesn't know about this, he just turned a blind eye to it.

He knew in his heart that if it wasn't for Liu Jiye in the court, the Yang family in Linzhou and the Zhe family in Fugu would be in trouble together, and they would have nothing to do.

The Yang family is very kind to the Zhe family, but Luo Youdu is also very kind to the Zhe family.

Not to mention Zhe Congruan's personal kindness, the Dingnan Army launched an attack at the beginning, intending to annex the Zhe family and sever the connection between the Zhe family and the Central Plains.

It was also Luo Youdu who came forward and persuaded Guo Rong to put pressure on the Dingnan Army, launched various sanctions, and forced the Dingnan Army to lift the blockade.

Otherwise, Zhe Congruan's body could not be safely transported to Fuzhou.

What's more, Luo Youdu is now the lord of the Central Plains, and serving the emperor of the Central Plains is the purpose of their family.

No matter how loyal or righteous they are, they can't tolerate them rejecting this edict, but they really don't want to fight with the Yang family. The only way is to persuade the Yang family to surrender before Luo Youdu's army arrives in Linzhou.

"Your Majesty is so calculating!"

How could Zhe Dejian fail to see that this was the real intention of Luo Youdu's decree?
The reunion in Linzhou in the imperial decree can be understood as World War I, and at the same time, it can also be understood as a peaceful reunion.

Zhe Yuxun also understood the key point, and said with a smile: "Isn't this better? It's a pity that Lord Zhou passed away early. If this successor has no strength and ability, I'm afraid the world will fall into war and chaos again. Our Queen of Fugu Aren’t the tombstones on the mountain all in vain? Only when the Central Plains is unified can it be possible to go to Shangjing, and it’s a shame for the Khitan to rule the Central Plains.”

Zhe Dejian smiled and said: "Da Lang is right. As a father, I don't want Fugu Erlang to be accompanied by a bow and horse after birth, and I also want them to be able to study in a spacious school like the children in the Central Plains... Go ahead, it's up to you."

"Going to Linzhou? I also want to go to see my sister-in-law together, take my little sister?"

A head poked out from the door, smiling at his father and elder brother, it was Zhe Saihua.

Zhe Dejian said angrily: "Are you embarrassed to go now?"

Zhe Saihua smiled embarrassingly: "The elder brother of the Yang family has already married a sister of another family, so why should you be embarrassed?"

Zhe Yuxun said with a smile: "It's good to let my younger sister go, she has always been on good terms with Yixiong's wife, Cui Shi, so maybe she can help."

Zhe Dejian has been cultivating Zhe Yuxun's autonomy for a long time, and he agrees with most of his opinions, so he doesn't say anything anymore.

The distance between Fuzhou and Linzhou is only tens of miles. Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua grew up on horseback, and they are skilled in riding. They arrived in Linzhou in less than half a day.

Due to Luo Youdu's massive invasion, Linzhou was under martial law.

Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua were not under the martial law, so they easily entered the city and met Yang Chongxun, the head of the Yang family in Linzhou.

"Brother Yi!"

"Brother!"

Yang Zhongxun welcomed Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua into the mansion with a smile, and said: "Seeing you come, I feel at ease as a brother."

Zhe Yuxun knew why and asked: "Why did Brother Yi say that?"

Yang Zhongxun said with a smile: "Don't pretend to be confused with me. If you don't come, soldiers and horses from the Central Plains will come. This Linzhou is not your Fugu. It is built on the mountain, with cliffs and the Yellow River. Yes, there is also Duantou Mountain. The emperor of the Liu family obviously wants to stick to Jinyang City, abandon the surrounding cities, wait for Khitan's support, and fight a war of attrition with the Central Plains. If Linzhou is attacked, Jinyang will not even look at it. If I If you don't know the fun, the Yang family will be destroyed in my hands."

"Besides, if you're sensible, you can still negotiate conditions. If you really call, you don't even have the qualifications to negotiate conditions."

Zhe Yuxun asked, "What's your brother's request?"

Yang Zhongxun paused and said: "It's nothing else, I just hope that the emperor of the Central Plains can forgive my brother and spare his life."

Zhe Yuxun said: "What's so difficult about it? With my elder brother's abilities, as long as he is willing to surrender, who can not love him?"

Yang Zhongxun said with a bitter face: "If this is the case, it will be easy to handle. The problem is that my brother has received Liu's great favor, and I am afraid that he will not compromise easily."

Zhe Saihua, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Then let His Majesty beat him until he compromises."

Zhe Yuxun, Yang Zhongxun, you look at me.

It seems to make sense.

**********
Outside the south gate of Jinyang City.

After passing through Tuanbai Valley this morning, it took less than half a day for Luo Youdu to arrive at Jinyang City, looking at the towering Jinyang City in front of him.

Luo Youdu's scalp tingled involuntarily.

The strength of Jinyang city is probably three points stronger than that of Youzhou, and even Bianjing is not as strong.

Luo Youdu even felt that Bianjing was a small town compared to Jinyang City.

He smiled wryly and said: "No wonder Shizong broke his halberd at the Jinyang city back then. If the city really wants to attack by force, even if there are ten times as many soldiers in the air, it will smash a mouth full of teeth."

Li Yun still has lingering fears in his heart. He also participated in the battle back then, and there is no hope of breaking the city.

He said: "This Jinyang City is composed of six cities. At the beginning, we only took down the simplest east city, so we were powerless to attack."

The huge Jinyang City is not just a city, it is built with a structure of three floors inside and three floors outside.

During the Northern Qi Dynasty, the Gao regime took Jinyang City as its capital and built a new Daming City on the east bank of the Fen River; in the 16th year of Kaihuang Sui Dynasty, Yang Jian, Emperor Wen of Sui Dynasty built Cangcheng, and in the third year of Daye of Sui Dynasty, Yang Guang, Emperor Yang of Sui Dynasty built Jinyang Palace City. In the northwest of Jinyang City, there is a pin-shaped palace city area formed by Jinyang Palace City, Daming City, and Cang City.

In the early years of Tang Zhenguan, Li Ji, the long history, built the east city again.In the first year of Wu Zetian's longevity, he set up the northern capital, and the governor Shi Cui Shenqing built the middle city, which connected the east and west city pools across the water and connected the two cities into one. So far, three inner cities have been formed in the northern part of the Taiyuan Basin: Cangcheng, Xincheng, and Daming. City; the three outer cities: the behemoths of West City, Middle City, and East City...

In a huge city, the six cities inside and outside are interdependent. If you want to completely capture it, you have to chew on every city...

Just thinking about it gives goosebumps.

No wonder Zhao Kuangyi had so much resentment towards Jinyang in history, he burned the city and flooded it, cut off the dragon's horns, nailed the dragon's veins, and forcibly destroyed this great masterpiece, the thousand-year-old city.

The third child of the Zhao family really doesn't do anything.

At that time, the emperor Liu Jiyuan surrendered, and he wanted to do something like this, and then spend a huge amount of money to rebuild a Taiyuan City...

This operation, take off your pants and fart, is absolutely perfect.

Luo Youdu secretly rejoiced that he was not planning to attack the city.

Otherwise, just like Zhao Kuangyin, who was full of kowtows.

In an instant, Luo Youdu had already flashed a question in his mind.

"If Liu Chengjun refuses to surrender, what should we do?"

Looking at the huge city and thinking about the poor and clinking Northern Han court, several plans gradually emerged in Luo Youdu's mind.

Jinyang city tower.

Liu Chengjun squinted his eyes and looked south, his face was a little dignified and annoyed, but then he smiled and said: "Does the other party only have such a small number of troops? With only this small number of troops, they still want to attack Jinyang? It's not enough to siege the city!"

Guo Wuwei saw the problem and said solemnly: "Their purpose is not to rush to Jinyang City, this army is to prevent us from dividing our troops to rescue the states. We have been tricked...the other party is planning to send the surrounding counties Take them one by one, collect our food, and gather around to fight for aid."

Liu Chengjun laughed and said, "It is said that Luo Youdu used troops well, but I don't think so! Dividing troops to attack the city means dividing troops and defending. How many soldiers and horses do they have? The opposite side is about [-]. If you count him as double, [-], give him [-]. There are so many prefectures in Hedong, and he has to defend them one by one. How much is left? We have [-] soldiers in Jinyang City, and [-] soldiers in the direction of Yunzhou in Datong. As long as Liao dispatches them casually Thirty to fifty thousand is enough to crush the opposite side. Don't wait for the cities to fall, when the reinforcements from the Liao Dynasty arrive, they will be able to take back all the cities, and it is guaranteed that the whole of the east of the river will be restored."

Guo Wuwei praised: "Your Majesty is wise!"

Seeing that the two men sang together to stabilize the military spirit, Liu Jiye couldn't help being secretly weird. The questions and answers of Liu Chengjun and Guo Wuwei were not nonsense.

Luo Youdu's internal instability, just ascension to the throne, it is impossible to transfer all the imperial guards in Beijing: why does he think he can one against two?
