Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 340 For My Big Man, Die Without Regrets

Liu Chengjun wants to catch Lu Duoxun now, there are envoys in this city, at least Luo Youdu will not attack the city immediately.

Liu Chengjun didn't know that Luo Youdu had started to retire, he only thought that he was building siege equipment outside the city to prepare for the attack on Jinyang.

However, as the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, it was inconvenient for him to accompany Lu Duoxun all the time, so he asked his officials at all levels to accompany him.

The envoys from the Central Plains are naturally superior to others, not to mention that the opponent's soldiers are approaching the city, and there is no guarantee that his own life will be in the opponent's hands, so he will inevitably be flattered by the opponent, both openly and secretly.

Liu Chengjun also turned a blind eye to this.

This is unavoidable. When any small country faces life and death, there will always be a group of people who advocate and surrender.

As long as the core figures keep their positions, Liu Chengjun doesn't care what other officials think.

Lu Duoxun was still a small man in the Central Plains Dynasty, a small person.

But in the Northern Han Dynasty, the envoy represented the country, and Luo Youdu, who represented it, had a high status in vain, and enjoyed the feeling of being surrounded by stars.

Accompanied by Wei Rong, he visited Jinyang City, whether it was useful or not, he kept the structure and layout of Jinyang City in his heart.

During this period, contact with officials in the city was indispensable. Lu Duosun's excellent conversation, rich knowledge, and nobility expressed in words made people yearn for him.

But in fact, just like the moon in foreign countries is particularly round, the richness of the Central Plains is compared with the poverty of the current Hedong, like two worlds.

The poor and weak inferiority of a small country, and the confidence in the wealth and strength of a big country, are inevitably dwarfs.Even the air, in the eyes of someone else, will be somewhat sweet.

Lu Duoxun was well versed in classics and history, and he was clever and memorized. In just a few days, he gained a lot of fame in Jinyang City and aroused many hot hearts.

Compared with Lu Duoxun's smoothness, Liu Chengjun is getting more and more irritable.

Luo Youdu did not attack Jinyang City, but he never let go of his offensive against Xinzhou and Daizhou.

There is a Yanmen Pass in Daizhou and a Shiling Pass in Xinzhou, both of which were built to deal with foreign invasions.

The Shanxi Basin is full of mountains and streams, and is blocked by passes. If you don’t take the opportunity to go south, once Daizhou and Xinzhou fall, Yanmen Pass and Shiling Pass will be controlled by the Central Plains.

Don't talk about rescue, the news can't get out.

Due to the terrain, it took a little time to capture Xinzhou and Daizhou.

It took Guo Jin five days to capture Xinzhou.

But Daizhou took longer, ten days.

In 20 days, Luo Youdu captured all the territory of the Northern Han Dynasty except Jinyang City.

Duan Chang, who went to Datong for help, seemed to have disappeared without any news.

The incident has begun to develop in the direction Guo Wuwei expected.

Liu Chengjun also became more and more manic, until this day he got inexplicable news.

The Central Plains soldiers who captured Xinzhou and Daizhou did not appease the local people, but prepared to relocate the people with lures and semi-coercion.

Liu Chengjun strangely invited Lu Duoxun to the palace, and asked: "The confrontation between the two countries does not hurt the people. The emperor of the Central Plains is famous for his benevolence and righteousness, but he makes things difficult for our people. Why?"

Lu Duoxun said angrily: "Who is my lord? How can he do things that are harmful to nature? He just thought of the hardships of the people in Shanxi, he couldn't eat enough, he couldn't wear warm clothes, and he wanted to pay tribute to the Khitan barbarians. I couldn't bear it, We will move them to places controlled by our army and give them a stable life."

A gleam of joy flashed in Liu Chengjun's eyes.

Guo Wuwei on the side was pale.

Both of them heard the news in Luderson's words.

Luo Youdu's relocation of the people at this moment meant that he did not intend to attack Jinyang City at all, and planned to withdraw after relocating the people.

For one piece of news, what Liu Chengjun and Guo Wuwei thought was completely different.

What Liu Chengjun thought was that Jinyang was safe, and he, the emperor, was saved.

But what Guo Wuwei thought was that there was no future!
Regarding the prospects of the Northern Han Dynasty, Guo Wuwei still had some hope before.

As long as they defend Jinyang City, the Central Plains will be unable to attack for a long time, their morale will be exhausted, and their vigor will be lost. The Khitan will still send troops.

Yelu Wuzhi is a rare resourceful person in Khitan, who will choose the most appropriate way to appear on the stage at the most appropriate time.

They can take the opportunity to take back the lost land and city.

But now Luo Youdu is not procrastinating, and when the morale is like a rainbow, he migrates the people.

What Khitan wanted was nothing more than a buffer zone.

Luo Youdu gave up the buffer zone. Facing the powerful Central Plains, they had no reason to take the risk of sending troops...

The ending is satisfactory for both parties, but the most hurt is always the Northern Han Dynasty.

The Northern Han Dynasty was already poor, and if they lost the people of the states, what could they do with only Jinyang City and a hundred thousand people in their early years?
It's hard for a clever woman to cook without rice, no matter how powerful the prime minister is.

Even Xiao He and Zhuge Liang cannot use [-] people to fight against tens of millions of people in the Central Plains...

Once the people migrated successfully, the Northern Han Dynasty would be the fish on the knife board, with no chance of development at all, and they would just wait to be slaughtered.

Lu Duoxun saw the expressions of Liu Chengjun and Guo Wuwei, and in an instant, he understood Luo Youdu's thoughts.

Thousands of words, thousands of words, gathered together one sentence: "Your Majesty is really a god."

Luo Youdu is not as magical as Lu Duoxun imagined.

Everything is just four words "foresight and foresight."

Guo Wuwei and Luo Youdu had a deep impression on him.

This person is so famous that Guo Wei dare not accept him.

Guo Wuwei once became a monk in Wudang Mountain as a Taoist priest. He never left Wudang Mountain for ten years.

Guo Wuwei is also known as Zhuge's talent, but compared to those "Zhuge Liang" enemies of Meng Shu, Guo Wuwei has a little bit of edge, and has a certain amount of real talent and learning.

Guo Wei served as a general under Liu Zhiyuan at that time, and was ordered to attack Li Shouzhen.

Guo Wuwei saw that Guo Wei was a man who achieved great things, so he came to recommend himself directly after he got off Wudang Mountain.

Guo Wei tested Guo Wuwei's ability, and he was very surprised, even secretly terrified.

Guo Wei's adjutant officer also said to Guo Wei: "Your Majesty is a minister of the Han Dynasty, and he holds a heavy army and lives outside. If you recruit Guo Wuwei, such a well-rounded man, I'm afraid the lord will be jealous."

Guo Wei then rejected Guo Wuwei.

Guo Wuwei's appearance is ugly, known in history as a square bird's beak, which means a huge forehead with a protruding mouth.

He thought that Guo Wei judged people by appearance, so he ran to Baofu Mountain to live in seclusion in a panic, and waited for Mingjun until Liu Chengjun, before leaving the mountain.

Guo Wuwei turned in a very good grade in the early Northern Han Dynasty. He has always been the top leader of the Northern Han regime and Liu Chengjun's Tuogu minister.

Until Zhao Kuangyin sent troops to the Northern Han Dynasty, Guo Wuwei followed like a demon.

He began to change his ways to join the enemy, and wanted to join Zhao Kuangyin of the Central Plains.

Guo Wuwei even staged a suicide scene and persuaded Liu Jiyuan to lead his troops to attack.In fact, the purpose is to lead troops to surrender.

In the end, the eunuch Wei Degui reported the news, and Liu Jiyuan sent someone to hang Guo Wuwei to death.

No one can say why Guo Wuwei is a loyal minister who relies on himself to join the enemy with all kinds of tricks.

His deeds were even written as novels boasting about Zhao Kuangyin by Zhao Song literati.

It is said that when Guo Wuwei left Guowei's barracks, he met Zhao Kuangyin, a pawn, and sworn brothers.

Guo Wuwei was grateful for Zhao Kuangyin's great talent and strategy, and the hero of the world, so he was inspired by righteousness and insisted on joining the enemy.

It's good to hear the story.

Zhao Kuangyin was arrogant and arrogant. He didn't report his father's name when he joined the army. He was just a pawn under Guo Wei's tent.

There is no reason why celebrities and pawns swore.

Luo Youdu guessed that Guo Wuwei thought that the Northern Han Dynasty had no prospects at all, so he tried every means to join the enemy in order to find a family background for himself.

Guo Wuwei could give up his life to vote for Zhao Kuangyin, why couldn't he vote for Luo Youdu?

For some reason, at the last moment of withdrawing troops, Luo Youdu gave it a try without hope.

If it is done, it is naturally the best, and it doesn't matter if it can't be done.

In history, Zhao Kuangyin did not seize Yanyou land, but relied on the trick of migrating the people to make the Northern Han Dynasty want to die.

Now that he has the land of Yan in his hands, he can directly cut off the development prospects of the Northern Han Dynasty.

He is more ruthless, destroying Jinyang's spring plowing, and [-] people raising [-] soldiers?

Starve them to death.

Lu Duoxun was driven out of Jinyang by Liu Chengjun.

Since he knew that Luo Youdu had no intention of attacking the city, Liu Chengjun no longer pierced his heart for Lu Duoxun, a rich man who flaunted his wealth.

"His Majesty!"

Lu Duoxun excitedly came to see him outside the imperial tent.

After being summoned, Lu Duoxun stepped into the tent, saluted and said excitedly: "It's done, Your Majesty. It's incredible that Guo Wuwei is really willing to help us capture Jinyang City. Your Majesty has a fortune teller, and I admire him."

Luo Youdu wanted to maintain the majesty of his emperor, so he kept telling himself to be calm.But the eyes at the corners of the mouth still couldn't help squinting.

What a surprise!

Jinyang City.

Liu Chengjun held a small internal meeting.

Participants included Guo Wuwei, Ji Yong, Zhao Hua, Wei Rong, Li Cungui, Zhao Wendu, Hou Barong, Wang Yin and others from the military.

Obviously Liu Jiye was excluded.

This is a meeting related to the fate of the country, Liu Chengjun really can't believe Liu Jiye who is the Yang family of Linzhou.

The meeting was so noisy that it was clearly divided into two camps.

A main combat faction headed by Guo Wu.A conservative faction headed by Li Cungui.

Well, that's right!

The military sticks to the defense, while civil servants take the lead in the battle.

Li Cungui said loudly: "The Central Plains is powerful, and Luo Youdu is the best at using troops. Going to battle at this moment is tantamount to hitting a stone with an egg and bringing himself to perish."

Guo Wuwei also raised his voice and said: "As a general, you are timid before fighting, how dare you be called a general? If you are afraid, you can personally lead the troops to fight the Central Plains to die. For my hero, you will have no regrets..."

Li Cungui's face turned red instantly.

Guo Wuwei looked at Liu Chengjun and said, "Your Majesty, we have nowhere to go. If we don't take advantage of the time when the Central Plains carelessly underestimates the enemy, we will fight to the death. Once the people in the Central Plains are successfully relocated, we will never be able to recover."

"One hundred thousand people, thirty thousand soldiers!"

"How to raise? Learn from Khitan and all the people are soldiers?"

"The Khitan lived as nomads, but we cultivated."

"Khitan can run away when attacked, but when we are attacked, people run away, how can we run away?"

"Destroying spring plowing, disturbing summer planting, and disrupting autumn harvest. When our food reserves are exhausted these years, it will be the day of extinction. There is no need for the Central Plains to attack..."

"Are you really counting on Khitan? Your Majesty, maybe it will be Khitan who will attack at that time!"

Guo Wuwei fell to the ground and cried loudly.
