Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 344 Come to eat sand!

Luo Youdu dragged Liu Jiye into the city, gave him extremely high treatment, and even copied Li Shimin's homework, admiringly said: "I'm far less happy to win Hedong this time than to win the general."

These words came out of Luo Youdu's mouth, and they carried a lot of weight.

Liu Jiye is also honored.

Luo Youdu immediately asked about the defense of Hedong.

Liu Jiye knew the topography of Hedong well, and what he said was clear and logical.

In particular, he has his own unique views on the defense line of Yanmen Pass in Daizhou.

Liu Jiye said: "Yanmen Pass is the gateway to the northern part of the Great Wall, with steep rocks from east to west, winding and rugged. To guard against Khitan, you should focus on Yanmen Pass, but you should not rely too much on Yanmen Pass. Yanmen Pass has Dongxing Pass and Xixing Pass. The jurisdiction is too long. It can prevent small If a group of troops enter the bandits and attack Caogu, they will be powerless against a large-scale invasion."

"Daizhou is a place with many mountains and streams. It is bordered by Hengshan Mountain in the east, Tianya Mountain in the west, Wutai in the south, and Shanyin in the north. There are crisscross trails."

"The power of the Khitan cavalry cannot be displayed here."

"The last general thought that Yanmen Pass and Daizhou terrain could be combined as a means of defense."

Luo Youdu nodded again and again. From these remarks, it can be seen that Liu Jiye has studied how to prevent the Khitan invasion.

He didn't trust Khitan, so he made preparations in advance.

Perhaps it is precisely because of this that Liu Jiye's record in guarding Yanmen Pass is quite amazing.With only a few thousand troops and horses, tens of thousands of Khitan soldiers were unable to cross the threshold many times.

Especially in the Battle of Yanmen, facing more than ten times the enemy, Liu Jiye directly beheaded the enemy's coach and captured Li Chonghai, the commander of the capital, alive.

The destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty this time made the territory of the Central Plains border the Khitan once again.

This time the territorial border is different from Gubeikou and Yuguan.

To the north of Gubeikou is a hundred miles of desert grassland, and to the east of Yuguan is a hundred miles of coastal mountain road.

There is still an uninhabited buffer zone at the border of this kind of territory.

Shuozhou and Yingzhou are not far to the north of Yanmen Pass in Hedong, and it is only a day's journey away from Yunzhou in Datong.

This is a junction with no buffer zone at all, and it is bound to be accompanied by countless frictions and confrontations.

The guard of Yanmen Pass must have enough bravery to be able to deter the grassland people who advocate force.Only being brave is not enough, you must also have enough resourcefulness to deal with the enemy's conspiracies and tricks.

Is there anyone more suitable to guard Yanmen Pass than Liu Jiye?

Anyway, Luo Youdu couldn't think of the second one.

Luo Youdu paused, looked at Liu Jiye who was beside him and said, "The analysis is incisive, and the heavy burden on the border of the town must be the general. Will the general be willing to guard Yanmen for me?"

Liu Jiye was stunned, and his heart was touched again. He had entrusted such a heavy responsibility to him once he was surrendered, and he clasped his fists and said loudly: "Even if the enemy has millions of soldiers, the last general is willing to be your majesty!"

Luo Youdu laughed loudly and said: "This time in this battle, Li Yun praised the general many times, saying that the general is the only general who gave him a headache in Hedong. This time, I have to let the Khitan children taste the power of the general. This name of invincibility makes the Central Plains people Shouting it out is not considered a skill, let the Khitan people shout it out, it is majestic."

Liu Jiye's eyes were eager to try.

Luo Youdu thought about Liu Wudi, and felt a little off. Yang Wudi sounded much better, and said, "The Liu family in Hedong is about to die, how about changing the general's surname back?"

Liu Jiye said: "The last general also has this intention."

Luo Youdu said: "Let's call him Yang Ye!"

It was still Yang Ye who listened to it, but Yang Jiye almost didn't mean it.

Yang Ye has no objection.

His inheritance name was originally obtained because Liu Chong adopted him as his adopted grandson, based on his seniority.

The Northern Han Dynasty has been destroyed, and the relocation of the people has also been cancelled, and all the people have returned to their homeland.

In order to make up for the scare loss they suffered from this migration, Luo Youdu also specially reduced taxes as compensation.

After doing all this well, Luo Youdu is also preparing to return to Bianjing.

Before withdrawing the army, Luo Youdu kept the agreement and went to Fuzhou in person accompanied by Zhe Yuxun and Zhe Saihua.

Regarding Luo Youdu's arrival, Zhe Dejian did not dare to neglect, and personally came to the border of Fuzhou to welcome him.

Seeing that Luo Youdu was younger than he imagined, Zhe De could not help but click his tongue secretly when thinking about the other party's deeds over the years.

Entering Defu Valley, Luo Youdu also saw the magic of the Creator, and also understood why the Zhe family was able to rely on an isolated city to guard the northwest and defend the border for many years when they were cut off from the Central Plains.

The city walls of Fugu are all made of large pier stones. The east of the city is a deep ditch and canyon, the south of the city is facing a cliff, the cliff is [-] meters high, and the bottom is the rolling Yellow River. It is still a big slope, and Fugu stands on the top of the mountain.

With this kind of terrain, even if there are dozens of times the number of enemies, they will still be defeated.

Luo Youdu put three sticks of incense on the tens of thousands of tombstones buried in the back mountain of Fugu according to his words, and said: "Fugu Erlang's merits in protecting the border should be admired by the world and remembered by future generations. Zheshuai, you stand here The tombstone, the name of the monument is the Monument of Heroes and Martyrs. I personally wrote the name of the monument and asked the master craftsman to make rubbings. There will be another Hall of Heroes built here for people to worship..."

In the early days of time travel, Luo Youdu's calligraphy was average and he seldom showed ugliness.

But as time went by, he also worked hard on calligraphy, and he has been able to show it to others so far.

Zhe Dejian was even more moved, and said: "The people in Fugu will definitely be grateful for your majesty's kindness."

What Luo Youdu wanted was this kind of effect. The people from all over the prefecture came to offer sacrifices to their families, and they all had to be grateful for his kindness.

Luo Youdu talked to Zhe Dejian about setting up a horse herding supervisor in Fugu.

Zhe Dejian naturally gave his full support and asked people to call Zhang Bo and Zhang Le.

Zhang Baili has died of illness, Zhang Bo and Zhang Le are Zhang Baili's sons, and the two brothers together are Bo Le.

Zhe Dejian said: "Brothers Zhang Bo and Zhang Le have their own strengths. Zhang Bo is good at watching horses, while Zhang Le is more good at researching. The Fuzhou war vest is the best in the world. These two brothers have made great contributions."

Luo Youdu looked at the two brothers who were honest and honest, even a little timid, and said with a smile: "I will take this man away. Zheshuai, don't feel bad!"

Zhe Dejian looked at it very openly, and said with a smile: "Everything in Fuzhou belongs to His Majesty, why do you feel distressed? Being able to connect with the Central Plains is already great news for Fuzhou."

**********
The news of the demise of the Northern Han Dynasty spread to all directions with terrifying speed.

Chai Shouli has been busy recently.

He is Guo Rong's biological father.

The ancients talked about "propriety" most. Guo Rong's throne came from Guo Wei, and he had to regard himself as the heir of the Guo family, which is the orthodox etiquette.

Therefore, Chai Shouli is Guo Rong's Yuan uncle in terms of etiquette.

This country's uncle needs to salute when he sees the emperor.

From courtesy to courtesy, from respect to respect, Chai Shouli is the biological father after all.

The father salutes his son, but Yu Li is at odds with him.

Therefore, since becoming the throne, Guo Rong has never seen his biological father again. He just gave him a very high status, Doctor Jin Ziguanglu, and the inspector Sikong, so that he can enjoy his old age in peace.

Now that there is an emperor's son, Chai Shouli is naturally extremely arrogant, and he can be regarded as the local hegemony in Luoyang.

He and the fathers of the generals Wang Pu, Han Lingkun and others acted recklessly in Luoyang without any scruples. Luoyang people avoided this and called them "Ten Fathers".

As the head of the "Ten Fathers", Chai Shouli had more than one life on his hands.

An official reported it to Guo Rong long ago, but Guo Rong was also very helpless in the face of his biological father.

Even though the law enforcement was like a mountain, Guo Rong, who was severely punished, couldn't do anything to his father, so he treated it as if he didn't know.

Changes occurred in Beijing, and Luo Youdu ascended the throne under the Zen throne of Empress Fu.

The most unacceptable is Chai Shouli.

This Guo Rong's heir is missing, but he has other sons, and Luo Youdu, an outsider, can't do it anyway.

In particular, Luo Youdu became famous in Kaifeng Mansion and became famous for his impartial law enforcement.

Already accustomed to the life of the Supreme Emperor, Chai Shouli felt uncomfortable when he thought of returning to the life of an ordinary person.

At this time, it was reported that Luo Youdu had an affair with Empress Fu, and Chai Shouli became even more furious.

He didn't think about the authenticity of the matter at all, he just felt that it was so, that's it.

It happened that someone with ulterior motives approached the door, Chai Shouli couldn't resist the temptation, so he took the bait directly and began to prepare secretly.

He has a wide network of contacts, with Guo Rong as his backer, who can not give him face?

But with the destruction of the Northern Han Dynasty on the 27th, it spread to Luoyang.

Chai Shouli suddenly realized that he had no family, and suddenly became a loner.

First take the land of Yan, and then destroy the Northern Han Dynasty, so that Luo Youdu's prestige can be gained.The mighty power and momentum, making a step forward, made all those with ulterior motives feel terrified and put away their evil intentions.

Difficult army.

Li Yiyin had eaten sand in the desert for half a month, and he felt that several catties of sand could be shaken out of his body.

When Luo Youdu attacked the Northern Han Dynasty, Li Yiyin secretly assembled his troops towards Hengshan. As soon as Luo Youdu fell into a hard fight or was defeated by the Khitan, he immediately dispatched troops to Hengshan and took control of the Hengshan Mountains.

It has been a long time since Li Yiyin coveted Jiangnan.

But Li Yiyin knew very well that there was no danger to defend Jiangnan, even if it was attacked, it would be extremely difficult to defend against.

It is too stupid to directly attack the spiritual salt, Hengshan is his goal.

The Hengshan area is not only criss-crossed by mountains, but also rich in water power. The Wuding, Dali, Tuyan, and Baima rivers criss-cross each other, making Hengshan the most fertile place besides Lingzhou, Liangzhou, and Suzhou.

The animal husbandry and agriculture here are very developed, and the terrain is very steep and difficult to attack.

Occupying Hengshan, the Dingnan Army can directly open up fields and pastures in Hengshan, and directly use Hengshan's food to supplement the frontline military supplies.

Otherwise, if the Dingnan Army wanted to attack the Central Plains, they would first have to eat hundreds of miles of yellow sand.

Therefore, in Li Yiyin's eyes, the Hengshan mountain range is the dividing line of fate for the Dingnan army to establish a country.

"This time, we must take down the Hengshan Mountains!"

For this battle, Li Yiyin went out in person.

As soon as the horse arrived in a hurry, Li Guangrui rolled off the horse and fell on the sand.

Regardless of the pain, he rushed to his father with both hands and feet, and said in panic, "Father, the Kingdom of Han in the east of the river is destroyed!"

Li Yiyin was stunned for a moment, his eyes turned from shock to fear, and there was only one thought in his mind: this sand tastes good, I came here to eat sand, I have no other thoughts.
