Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 486
Luo Youdu almost pointed at Cui Zhimeng's nose and cursed.

Wang Zhao is free to use good chess indiscriminately!

The core of Khitan is in the Northeast. They originated in the Liao River Basin, so Liao is the name of the country.

Although the Great Northeast has the most fertile black soil, the bitter cold climate prevents the Northeast from being effectively developed.

The place where Northeast China is really effectively developed today is the old land of Bohai State.

The successive rulers of the Bohai Kingdom opened up a large area of ​​land in the Dunhua, Ning'an, and Suifen River basins, known as the Haidong Shengguo.

After the Khitan forcibly destroyed the Bohai Kingdom, the survivors of Bohai were unwilling to accept the Khitan rule and fought fiercely, establishing Ding'an Kingdom, Xingliao Kingdom, Dayuan Kingdom and other resistance forces, but all ended in failure.

In order to avoid greater turmoil, Khitan forcibly relocated 100 million Bohai survivors.But in order not to let the fields go to waste, they also left a million people in Bohai State to cultivate food for Khitan.

Da Guangxian is the only remaining heir of the Bohai Kingdom, and he has a different status in the hearts of the Bohai survivors.

If he keeps this trump card and plays it when he is in a decisive battle with Khitan, it will directly cause chaos in the Khitan's rear, and his navy can easily capture the Bohai Kingdom and go straight to the Khitan's Shangjing Linhuang Mansion, the effect will not be too good.

What size is Goryeo?
Even if he has the ultimate trump card in his hand, he is not qualified to shake the mighty Khitan.

The Khitan has lost to him many times, which is the strength of the Central Plains to defeat the Khitan.

So what if Koryo provoked turmoil in Balhae?
Can he still eat Bohai?

It's not that Luo Youdu looks down on Gao Li, even if he succeeds, he will face a violent beating like a storm, and he can't hold it at all.

Cui Zhimeng was ashamed and embarrassed, but he couldn't find any words to refute.

He has modified Luo Youdu's explanation, and did not explain Wang Zhao's mentality and intentions, omitting some unimportant and internal turmoil related to Goryeo.But it was still exchanged for a swearing...

Cui Zhimeng also knew that Wang Zhao had misjudged the situation, but even if they tried again, they would not give up Da Guangxian's trump card to Luo Youdu.

If Da Guangxian is really going to be handed over to Luo Youdu, when the time comes to conquer Bohai Kingdom, how will Bohai Kingdom belong?
Should it belong to the Central Plains or Goryeo?

On the issue of territorial ownership, Koryo will not be cheap to the Central Plains.

Khitan is indeed terrifying, and the Central Plains is even more terrifying if its neighbors are replaced.

The interests between countries always come first.

Although Goryeo was extremely devout to the Central Plains dynasty, it had its own political goals.

The rulers and ministers of Goryeo were not stupid. They would not do things like attracting a tiger in order to drive away a wolf.

Luo Youdu could also guess a little bit about Wang Zhao's thoughts, so he got addicted to it after cursing a few words, and didn't go into it deeply.

Non-my family, its heart must be different.

He didn't expect Goryeo to be of any use, and he had to rely on himself to fight Khitan.

Cui Zhi dreamed that Luo Youdu's anger subsided a little, and he hurriedly kowtowed and said: "Your Majesty, the Khitan army is suppressing the border, and our Koryo country's small soldiers are weak, and it is difficult to stop the Khitan from entering. I implore His Majesty the Emperor to show mercy and save my Koryo from fire and water. Thank you for the great kindness of the heaven.”

Luo Youdu pretended to be indignant, and said: "Knowing that the soldiers of our country are weak, they are still ambitious. Do you really think Khitan is made of mud? If it is so easy to deal with, I would have killed Khitan and went to Beijing long ago."

He knocked on the table and said, "You don't pick a time when you mess around. I will unify the world and compete with Jiangnan, Lingnan, Bashu, and Dali. There is already insufficient food and grass in the country, and it is impossible to dispatch the army. How about...you can How much food will be supplied to my army?"

Luo Youdu said proudly: "How much food you send, how many soldiers I send."

Cui Zhimeng gritted his teeth and said, "As long as His Majesty rescues across the sea, I, Gao Li, will be responsible for all the food and salaries."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "Okay, then go back and wait for the news."

Cui Zhimeng asked with some anxiety: "I wonder when His Majesty the Emperor will send troops?"

Luo Youdu said: "It takes half a month to send troops by land. But as you said, it will take at least a year or two to rescue by sea."

Cui Zhimeng said in astonishment, "Why does it take so long?"

Luo Youdu said angrily: "My soldiers are not birds, they don't have wings, and they can't fly. For cross-sea rescue, we have to build troop transport warships. My navy mainly focuses on rivers and lakes. I'm not good at naval warfare, and I don't even have experience in sailing at sea." If you don't make enough preparations, how do you ask me to send troops?"

Cui Zhimeng said with a mournful face, "Yes, but Gaoli can't last that long."

Luo Youdu smiled and said: "Then you guys will bring the food from Korea. As long as the food is in place, I can also send troops."

Cui Zhimeng faltered, unable to speak.

Although their national strength in Koryo is at its peak, they don't have such a strong transportation capacity. They can transport food across the sea to support the needs of the Central Plains army.

Luo Youdu smiled secretly: "It's not that I didn't save you, but you were eager for success and broke the deadlock. I promise you that as soon as the war in the south is over, the court has enough food and grass, or the construction of the troop transport warship is completed, I will send troops to the north immediately. Before that, I will arrange a small group of troops to harass the Khitan, and Yelu Dilie will also step up the offensive. As for whether you can hold on, the evil you have planted can only be borne by you. There is only so much I can do for you for the time being... ..."

He didn't believe that Gao Li was a weak chicken.

Goryeo still has a certain strength to be able to dominate Haidong.

Moreover, the terrain of Goryeo is complex, and they learned the fortification technology of the Central Plains.He has a solid foundation in fortification ability. Over the years, Wang Zhao has built more than 30 fortresses in order to resist the Khitan.

Khitan is not good at siege, these more than 30 fortresses are enough for them to eat a pot.

Cui Zhimeng cried weakly, but he didn't want to spend a long time with Khitan.

Cui Zhimeng was also speechless, and Luo Youdu's remarks could be said to be benevolent and righteous, and he couldn't find any faults.

As Luo Youdu guessed, Goryeo was not as weak as Cui Zhimeng cried. If they really fought, they would not necessarily lose if they relied on the fortified city and defended a little bit.

It's just that if they can get help from the Central Plains, they can end the battle earlier, reduce military casualties, and economic losses.

Furthermore, Cui Zhimeng is unwilling to let the Central Plains take advantage of the fishermen.

Khitan and Goryeo really want to fight for a few years, no matter whether they win or lose, only the Central Plains will benefit in the end.

Luo Youdu watched Cui Zhimeng leave, thinking about the Khitan and Goryeo issues.

It is not difficult to understand that the Khitan fought Goryeo. This mountain cannot accommodate two tigers. Anyone with a discerning eye can see that there will be a battle between the Central Plains and the Khitan.

The king of Korea, Wang Zhao, is not a man who keeps his own place. When it comes to a decisive battle, he will inevitably make small moves in the rear.

Khitan didn't want the rear to be unstable, so it was reasonable to take the first step to clean up Goryeo while he was calming down the south.

I just don't know where the Khitan came from to grasp the ability to destroy Korea in a short time.

Really going to fall into the quagmire of war, Luo Youdu felt that he would wake up laughing in his dreams: he had to send someone to pay attention to the situation in Haidong.

in case……

Luo Youdu suddenly thought of a question, what would happen if he sat back and watched Khitan destroy Goryeo?

Maybe Goryeo will become a province of the Central Plains?
