Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 568 Xiao Chuo's Backer

Luo Youdu was greatly surprised by Liu Yu's situation. He never thought that the paranoia of persecution would have such a magical effect.

Luo Youdu looked at the frightened and emaciated former Southern Han emperor in front of him, thought of his achievements, comforted him gently, told him not to think too much, and rewarded him with some gold and silver to improve his life.

Seeing Liu Yan with a good complexion and a big stone in his heart, Luo Youdu thought: Do you want to scare him from time to time and stimulate his potential?
Liu Yan looked at the emperor of the Central Plains in front of him, and his pores stood up inexplicably.

"Your Majesty, get ready!"

Wang Tingyi reminded, Luo Youdu interrupted the demonic thoughts.

Looking at the inner armor piled up two hundred steps away, he didn't try it himself this time, so he signaled Wang Tingyi to test it.

Wang Tingyi learned his lesson this time, stepping on the iron ring with his feet, and using the strength of his hands, feet and waist, he wound the bow of the divine arm.

Wang Tingyi has an old warlord father, who has played with crossbows a lot, and his posture is more standard than Luo Youdu's.

As the fingers tapped the expander lightly, the tiny crossbow arrows flashed past, piercing through the five-layer armor without any suspense, and still had enough power to go deep into the wooden pillar hanging on the inner armor.

Compared with his previous blind shots, this directly pierces five layers of armor, which is more convincing.

With this magical arm and bow in hand, there are no iron forest soldiers or iron kites.

Luo Youdu looked at Yao Sui, Huai Bing, and Liu Yu and asked, "Can the God Arm Bow be mass-produced?"

Yao Sui hesitated a little, and said: "We still need to go through some tests, such as rain, wind, sand, cold and hot weather, and make fine adjustments to ensure that the magic arm bow can maintain its power and operate normally in harsh environments. At most, it will be ready for use within a month." Production."

"Okay!" Luo Youdu said without any hesitation: "Just tell me what materials are needed to make the God Arm Bow. Make a list and order the third division to reserve in advance."

Now he speaks with confidence.

The land of Huaxia is vast, and there are all kinds of materials, but there are differences between the north and the south, and they don't gather in one place.

Now the Luoyu court has acquired the core hometown of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and has used the power of the whole country to purchase the necessary materials.

With the state machinery in operation, even rare objects hidden in deep mountains and old forests can be found.

In the end, Luo Youdu took a look at the three of them and said, "This thing will have a miraculous effect on the battlefield. The more secret it is, the better. It's not easy to publicize at the moment, and I will personally write a book to commend you and other achievements after waiting for surprises on the battlefield. Remember, There is not much to say about this.”

The first thing Yao Sui, Huai Bing, and Liu Yu did after entering the General Supervisor and Military Weapons Supervisor was to instill the idea of ​​secrecy, and they responded decisively.

After encouraging the three of them, Luo Youdu returned to Yanhe Hall to deal with today's government affairs.

The main content is about the placement and deployment of Cloud Kyushu.

Luo Youdu didn't intend to make any big moves towards Yun Jiuzhou, as it was a matter of course, the bigger the action, the more counterproductive it would be.

Ma Dechen has been in charge of the government affairs of Yunjiuzhou in the past few years, and he has done a good job.

The main reason is that there is no harm if there is no comparison. Compared with when Yelu Dilie first took charge of government affairs, a series of strange operations caused confusion in government orders, officials and people complained incessantly, and Ma Dechen stabilized the political situation in Yunjiuzhou in less than three months, which is commendable.

With him handling the paperwork, the administration of Yun Jiuzhou would not be chaotic.

As for the crucial military affairs, Luo Youdu handed him over to Yang Ye.

Yang Wudi's name resounded throughout Khitan, with him around, he would be safe in the short term.

Over time, it will be very difficult to distinguish between barbarian and Han people based on Confucianism's ability to assimilate.

Datong Mansion has Ma Dechen in culture and Yang Ye in Wu. With these two, the overall situation can be determined.

As for the generals below, Luo Youdu didn't intend to ask.

The government office and the Ministry of Officials will make detailed arrangements, and at the end they can just review and select for him.

However, regarding Xiao Hunian's appointment, he had to make an order in person.

After Xiao Siwen's death, Xiao Hunian devoted himself to practicing martial arts and learning the art of war.

Originally, Luo Youdu was worried that Xiao Hunian lacked actual combat experience on paper, but now with the assistance of Xiao Shu Lulie and Xiao Talin, this defect will be made up for.

Anyone with a discerning eye can see that Luo Youdu reused Xiao Hunian's deep meaning.

Although Xiao Hunian himself had no achievements, the appointment was successfully announced.

The herald came to Luo Zhai with a letter of appointment covered with great seals.

Facing this hidden mansion, the herald, who had always been arrogant, carefully knocked on the door, not daring to put on airs, and said softly: "Your Majesty has an order, and I invite Mrs. Xiao Hunian to accept it."

After a while, four people walked out of the inner hall, namely Xiao Hunian, Xiao Chuo, Xiao Shu Lulie, and Xiao Talin.

Xiao Shu Lulie and Xiao Talin came to Luo Zhai early this morning.

The people of this tribe are separated by thousands of miles, and it is inevitable to sigh.

Xiao Hunian already had the demeanor of a strong woman, and after talking about the recent situation of each other, he said straight to the point to Xiao Shululie and Xiao Talin: "Uncle Clan, why did my father die? When you were in Khitan, you knew best. But that’s all. I want to avenge my father. In today’s world, no one else has the strength to do this except Luo Tianzi. I have reached an agreement with Luo Tianzi. I will help him persuade the Xiao family to surrender, and he will avenge me. personally lead..."

Xiao Shululie looked at Xiao Hunian with a resolute face, and didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not only lamenting Luo Youdu's foresight, but also secretly lamenting the Eighteenth Change of the Women's University, hesitated a bit, and said: "You have to think about it, once you raise the banner high, the Xiao family's suppression of the Bali family will be even worse."

The Xiao family of the Khitan descendant family is not in the same line.

Yelu Abaoji, Taizu of the Liao Dynasty, worshiped Liu Bang and often called himself Liu Bang. After the establishment of the political power, he felt that Liu Bang, the emperor of the Han Dynasty, was able to establish immortal achievements and create a prosperous territory for the Han Dynasty. The surnames of Lishi and Yishi were all given to "Xiao".

Therefore, the descendants of the Xiao family also divided into two branches, the Li family and the Yi Shi family.

Xiao Siwen and Xiao Hunian belonged to the Pali family.

The Richter family has always been stronger than the Yi Shi family, and is in a dominant position.

But with Xiao Siwen's death, Yelu Bishe didn't dare to reuse Diolishi, so he lifted Yishishi up.

And because of the loss of strength within the Li family, they gradually blamed Xiao Siwen's lineage, feeling that it was because of him that the Li family lost power.

Because of this, Yelu Bishe reused those who opposed Xiao Siwen's lineage in the Li family, which led to the exclusion of Xiao Siwen's main lineage.

Because of this, Xiao Shu Lulie and Xiao Talin left Khitan in the Cloud.

But no matter how you say it, you can still live if you are excluded.

Xiao Hunian is playing under the banner of Xiao Siwen, so the situation is different.

Xiao Shululie knew Xiao Siwen's influence. As a Khitan left behind in Tokyo, he was not qualified.However, as the head of the Xiao family, his kindness in caring for the Xiao family is better than any previous head of the family.

Xiao Hunian said: "It's just suppression, Yelu will definitely not dare to mess around. The most is to guard them strictly and not let them respond. At first, I also thought that His Majesty's goal was the Xiao family. Now that I think about it carefully, His Majesty's purpose is not with the Xiao family, but to give all the Khitan people an excuse to surrender. He doesn't care about the Xiao family, he just wants to destroy the Khitan country."

Xiao Shululie had mixed feelings in his heart.

Xiao Talin had no part to speak, looked at Xiao Chuo who was opposite him, put two little fingers into the mouth, pulled them out, then pulled down the lower eyelids with ten fingers, making a grimace.

Xiao Chuo rolled his eyes wide, and continued to listen to Xiao Hunian with a look of disgust and childishness.

Xiao Hunian continued: "I also have no intention of growing our Xiao family. I have been in Bianjing for these years, and I have a certain understanding of His Majesty's disposition. He will not allow the Central Plains to have a so-called descendant surname like Khitan."

Seeing Xiao Shulu's complex expression, she knew what he was thinking, and said, "There is nothing to be done about the affairs of the world. There is a hero like His Majesty in the Central Plains. Regardless of whether there are you or me, the Khitan's destruction is only a matter of time. Let's talk about the Khitan royal family." Killing my father, I wish I could cut him into pieces, what does the Khitan Kingdom have to do with me?"

"Only the Khitan blood in this body is difficult to part with, but His Majesty is benevolent. He can't tolerate the Khitan country, and he has no malice towards the Khitan people. Not only the Khitan people, but Tubo, Dali, Uighur, and Goryeo are all like this. Above this temple, There are quite a few officials from other tribes. Sometimes, in order to keep the talents of other tribes in the Central Plains, high officials will be awarded generous salaries. As long as the Khitan people are sincerely loyal, I can guarantee that with the benevolence and virtues of today, the Khitan people will only live happily better."

Xiao Shululie did not doubt this.

The Eastern Khitan is developing well now, regaining the Jurchens, attacking Goryeo, and opening mines to forge iron armor, all of which require a lot of labor and labor.

Under the persecution of the Central Plains, the Eastern Khitan is now under high pressure from officials to civilians.

In this situation, the people of Eastern Khitan have a ghost to live well.

Xiao Shululie looked at the heroic and clear-minded niece in front of him, thinking of Xiao Siwen's kindness, and said: "I swore to follow my clan brother 30 years ago, and now that the clan brother has a descendant, it is no exception."

Hearing his father's consent, Xiao Talin didn't care to tease Xiao Chuo, and said without hesitation: "When I was young, Talima was the clan sister's pawn, and now it's the same when I'm older, and I'm willing to be the clan sister's vanguard."

Tartarin is Xiao Talin's nickname.

Xiao Hunian looked at Xiao Talin with a resolute face, smiled and praised: "You are worthy of being a good son of my Xiao family."

Xiao Chuo listened to their talk with relish, and seeing that they had agreed on something, he asked, "Uncle Shu Lulie, how is the second sister?"

Xiao Hunian also looked at Xiao Shululie expectantly.

Xiao Shululie hesitated for a while, and said: "It's not optimistic. Since Youdu Mansion returned to Shangjing, the second lady has been depressed and rarely smiles. After the clan brother left, he was full of anger and blood, and he was plagued by various diseases. It's hard to take care of myself." Seeing Xiao Hunian and Xiao Chuo's sad faces, he hurriedly said: "The clan brothers also have some old friends in the court, and the Xiao family protects them, so they don't have to worry about food and lodging."

Xiao Chuo looked at Xiao Hunian and said, "The elder sister must rescue the second sister. Yanyan is still young and has to take care of grandpa, so she cannot go with the elder sister."

Xiao Hunian's delicate body trembled slightly, and the tears were almost unbearable.

Ever since Yelv Dilie went south, Xiao Hunian knew that he was about to go north to Monan.

But how to tell Xiao Chuo, Xiao Hunian has been unable to speak.

The relationship between their sisters was not good in history, but now the two of them have been captured to Bianjing and depend on each other for life. The relationship is far from that of ordinary sisters.

Xiao Hunian knew that Xiao Chuo had to stay in order to get Luo Youdu's greatest support.

But Xiao Chuo didn't expect Xiao Chuo to take the initiative to ask to stay.

Xiao Hunian is well aware that his younger sister is early wisdom, so he must also know that his identity will be turned into a hostage for such a proposal.

At this moment, Luo Youdu's imperial decree reached their ears.

The four hurried to the front yard to receive the order.

Huber was old and his legs and feet were inconvenient, so he walked out slowly.

The herald ignored the imperial decree, stepped forward to support Hu Bo, and said: "Mr. Hu, slow down, His Majesty has already made a decree. You are getting old, so you don't need to greet him."

After taking good care of Uncle Hu, the ordering official read out the decree: canonize Xiao Hunian as the general of the left leader, and command Xiao's troops.Xiao's headquarters was placed in Zhangyuan County, Xinzhou.

After the Khitan seized the Yanyun Sixteen States, they re-planned the Yun Jiuzhou.

Luo Youdu naturally changed to the old system, and Zhangyuan County in Xinzhou is also the legendary Zhangjiakou.

It is located at the junction of the three parties, connecting Mobei Khitan and Mongolia grasslands in the north, Zhongjing in the East Khitan to the east, Datong Yunzhong to the northwest, and Youzhou Prefecture to the southeast.

Luo Youdu arranged for Xiao Hunian to fly the banner of the Xiao family here, with obvious intentions.

Xiao Hunian swept away his daughter's emotions in his heart, and took orders loudly.

Xiao Shululie and Xiao Talin left at the right time.

Xiao Hunian looked at Uncle Huber not far away, kowtowed to him three times respectfully, and said, "Hu Nian will not be able to take care of Uncle Huber in the future, and I hope that Uncle Huber will live a long and healthy life."

With a bit of reluctance on Huber's face, he sighed: "Why are you bothering? Leave the matter of revenge to His Majesty. I know you are interested in Your Majesty, but the old man is still a bit thin in front of His Majesty. Let me tell you." It is not difficult to make this marriage."

Two red clouds floated on Xiao Hunian's face. He hesitated a little, but said with firm conviction: "Hu Nian's going north was not all for revenge, but also wanted to test his ambition. I hope Huber Huber will make it come true."

Huber shook his head and sighed, "Never mind, whatever!"

He said slowly turning around and walking towards the inner hall.

"sister!"

Xiao Chuo tugged at the corner of Xiao Hunian's clothes.

Even though I can think about it, I still can't help but feel reluctant.

Xiao Hunian hugged his younger sister and said softly, "I'm sorry!"

Xiao Chuo said with a smile: "I'm sorry, sister, father's hatred belongs to you, but also Yanyan's, that is, Yanyan is young and has no ability, otherwise maybe it won't be my sister's turn to go north!"

Xiao Hunian murmured: "Yanyan is so good, in the future you will be alone in Bianjing, so be careful."

Instead, Xiao Chuo comforted Xiao Hunian, and said softly: "Sister, don't worry, Yanyan will continue to make Grandpa Hu happy as before. With Grandpa Hu here, let alone Bianjing, even It’s the entire Central Plains, and no one can touch me. Besides, Yanyan can often enter the palace now, and has relations with the queen, concubine De, and concubine Xian. They all like Yanyan. Grandpa Chai Kehong, Grandpa Dou Yujun, Yanyan has many backers, so it's fine."

Xiao Hunian watched Xiao Chuo wringing his fingers, counting his backers, and talking to his sister about his network of contacts...

Seeing Xiao Hunian was a little startled, she continued: "Yanyan has had more opportunities to see His Majesty recently, and she also has the opportunity to make him a backer..."
