Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 396
Luo Youdu made up his mind and immediately ordered Lu Duoxun to be summoned.

In fact, his original unification plan has not changed.

From the very beginning, he set out to set the West first, Hehuang and Liangzhou in Longyou, eliminate the troubles of Western commercial routes, reopen the Silk Road, expand the influence of the imperial court to the Western Regions, and prepare for the opening of the Western Regions in the future.

After stabilizing the west, take Jinghu and Nanhan, and then send troops to Mengshu and Jiangnan.

As for Wu Yue, the main focus is to persuade them to surrender. If they can accept the land and surrender as in history, that would be the best.

The remaining small forces can surrender if they can, and if they don't want to surrender, a partial division can handle it.

It's just that Longyou Hehuang's fight was too smooth, Luo Youdu became greedy, and took advantage of the opportunity to make more money.

With the Khitan's change of ownership, Luo Youdu also instantly sobered up. Tubo, Ganzhou Uighurs, and even Cao's Guiyi army were all dead bones in the tomb, and even if he was left alone, he couldn't turn the tide.

Only Khitan is different. Khitan has mastered the culture of the Central Plains and is a powerful enemy with the potential of a great power.

No matter what, we can't just sit back and watch him grow...

Only by unifying as soon as possible can we gather the financial resources of the whole country and fight against Khitan in the Northeast.

He picked up the map of Hehuang and the Western Regions, looked at it carefully for a moment, drew a border line with Tubo, and then put away the map, ready to let the Privy Council hand it over to Murong Yanzhao.

As for the Uighurs in Ganzhou, their lives will be spared for the time being, but the blood will still be drawn.

Luo Youdu's magnanimity is because he has no interests.

There is a certain interest in this, so he can't be generous.

After a while, news of Ludoxun came from outside the hall.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Lu Doxun bowed meticulously.

"Come on, sit down!"

Luo Youdu pointed to the stool at the side, saw him take a seat, and said straight to the point: "I just got the news that the Khitan Emperor Yelujing died, and his younger brother Yelu must take the throne. I plan to launch troops against Wuping and Southern Han when the Western affairs are over. How much do you know about Wuping?"

Lu Duoxun said without hesitation: "Wuping is now in the charge of Zhou Xingfeng, and there are Lang, Tan, Heng, Li, Yue, Dao, Yong, Shao, Chen, and Quan. These ten prefectures and forty counties live in Jingnan. .This man is a man. He rectified the shortcomings of the predecessors and made great efforts to govern, so that the people in Jingnan led the farming and the granaries were filled. However, this man cannot escape his bad roots. He guarded against conspiracy and slaughtered dissidents. He was captured by the generals in the meeting More than a dozen people who conspired to rebel were killed on the spot, and all the generals at the table were terrified."

"I heard that he has been suffering from head ailments these years, with splitting headaches, and is often bedridden. His son Zhou Baoquan is not yet ten years old, and he is not good enough to take on great responsibilities. In addition, his relationship with Zhang Wenbiao, the powerful minister under his command, is extremely delicate. There is an accident, and Zhang Wenbiao must turn against it."

When he said this, he paused for a moment, before he said: "I am sure, let Zhang Wenbiao rebel in advance."

Luo Youdu saw that Lu Duoxun had already seen what he was looking for, clapped his hands and praised: "Lu Qing lives in Bianjing, so he knows everything about the world, it's amazing!"

Lu Duosun said these things casually, obviously he had worked hard.

This is the gap between talent and talent.

People like Zhao Pu and Lu Dorson may have misbehavior and are greedy for power and profit, but when they encounter problems, they can stand up and do practical things instead of expressing opinions from a moral point of view. I don't know, I can't do anything.

This is not in place, so the eyes and mind are naturally different.

Before Luo Youdu joked about Sun Guangxian, now that it was his turn, he couldn't help hanging up a chastity archway.

Zhou Xingfeng didn't want to hand over his military power, and he was afraid that Luo Youdu would beat him, so he was extremely docile.

For such an existence, Luo Youdu sent troops to attack directly, and felt a little sorry in his heart.

It is necessary to find an excuse.

The situation in Jingnan has been controlled by ten brothers like Liu Yan, Wang Kui, and Zhou Xingfeng for more than ten years.

They supported each other when they started a family, and they could risk their lives for each other, and they were closer than brothers, but after they became big brothers together, they were suspicious of each other.

For the old generals Liu Yan and Wang Kui, Zhou Xingfeng was not as ruthless as usual, he would kill him immediately if he caught him.

Now Zhou Xingfeng and Zhang Wenbiao are the only ones left among the ten brothers.

The two of them have long been conflicted, and they don't like each other.

Only when they fight, can Luo Youdu have a reason to take them down together in the name of countering the rebellion.

"Okay, I'll leave this matter to you. If you need money, go directly to the third envoy. If you need manpower, go to Wu Desi. I will ask Er Zhang to cooperate with you."

Lu Duoxun stood up confidently and bowed: "I will fulfill my mission."

When Luo Youdu saw it was time for lunch, he thought about the madness of last night in his mind, and ordered: "I will eat lunch with Jieyu, let Shangshi Bureau prepare it."

As he spoke, he strolled to the Ciyuan Hall.

Zhe Saihua, who got the news, came to greet her cautiously, with a bit of frustration on her face.

Seeing this, Luo Youdu secretly scolded him for being nothing, and stepped forward to help him distressedly.

Seeing this, Zhe Saihua felt sweet in her heart.

Today, she slept till daylight. When she woke up, she saw that there was no one around, and she cried out in horror.

It wasn't until the personal maid assigned by the palace explained the situation in detail that Luo Youdu had gone to court early in the morning.

In order not to wake her up, she walked quietly, not even daring to wear clothes and socks.

Apart from the annoyance in my heart, I was also a little moved.

Luo Youdu helped Zhe Saihua to sit down, and Shangshi Bureau delivered the meals on time.

Four side dishes and warm old Jimo wine.

Luo Youdu asked the maid to go down, wanting to say a few words of love to comfort the injured concubine.

Zhe Saihua took the lead and said, "Your Majesty, isn't this concubine very useless?"

Luo Youdu was surprised, and said: "How come?" He added in his heart: "That's not ordinary."

Zhe Saihuadi shrugged her head: "The book says it's very comfortable, but my body is sore and my back hurts today, so I can't stand it after only doing two sets."

Her voice was as thin as a gnat, if not for Luo Youdu who was beside her, she wouldn't have heard it.

Luo Youdu looked at Zhe Saihua strangely and said, "What book?"

Zhe Saihua blushed like blood, and said embarrassingly: "It's the book that the nanny showed me when I entered the palace. I saw it for the first time, and my head was dizzy. I was too ashamed to read it. I forgot all the previous ones. Remember later."

hiss……

Luo Youdu took a breath, and instantly understood the reason, no wonder.

This is to skip the basics directly, play advanced difficulty at the beginning, and practice leapfrogging.

Luo Youdu gave Zhe Saihua the mutton on his plate distressedly, and said: "My concubine eats more, actually, this is the first time. The queen is worse than you. There is a saying. Practice makes perfect, you get used to it.”

He said it seriously.

Zhe Saihua's eyes brightened, and she said, "Really?"

Luo Youdu affirmed: "Of course! If you don't believe me, you can ask."

Zhe Saihua hurriedly shook her head like a rattle, which is incomparable.

The more Luo Youdu looked at Zhe Saihua, the more he liked it. He was also sweet-talking and caring.

The heroic girl on the battlefield has never encountered such a situation before, it's like being soaked in a honeypot.
