Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 637 Goodbye Xiao Hunian, My Monan

Luo Youdu obviously misunderstood what Hu Ming meant, thinking that he was here to be his dog.

As the lord of the celestial dynasty, he instinctively felt that it was a very honorable thing to be a dog for himself, so he immediately gave orders to Mongolia.

He doesn't mind having a dog, even if the other party is Mongolia.

If he can raise and dare to raise, Luo Youdu will naturally be sure to beat him to death.

Luo Youdu has been in ancient times for many years. He has gone deep into this era and knows that some things are irreversible.

It is impossible for the imperial court to completely control the place in Mobei. The environment there is harsh, the Gobi swamp is desert, the transportation is inconvenient, the supplies are not abundant, the summer is hot and the winter is cold, and there are all kinds of wild animals.

People in the Central Plains are reluctant to immigrate to the land of Youyan, let alone Mobei?

Before the popularization of railways and trains, it was too difficult to control Mobei in the feudal era.

Even if troops are sent to conquer, it will not help. As long as the opponent avoids fighting, finding tens of thousands of people on a land of millions of kilometers is tantamount to finding a needle in a haystack.

Mobei is destined to be a special event for nomads...

The best way is to raise a few more dogs and let them bite each other when they have nothing to do.

Then use Monan as a strategic buffer zone.

Since Mongolia is interested, he will be classified as the No. [-] hunting dog in the north.

The addition of No. [-] Hound is a great thing for the decisive battle with East Khitan.

If the north and the south attack together, there will be no suspense in this battle.

The only worry is whether the East Khitan will give up on themselves and take the initiative to admit defeat, hide in the northeast, and dare not fight.

But at this point, even if East Khitan admits to being cowardly, it's a little too late.

Hu Ming heard the implication, and hurriedly said: "Your Majesty, the great and benevolent emperor, my lord is willing to obey the order, but the coldness in the northern part of the Mongolian people's life is extremely harsh. I hope that your majesty can show mercy and save the land of the southern part of the country. Give it to our family to live in. I, Mongolia, will be grateful for His Majesty the Emperor's great kindness..."

Only then did Luo Youdu realize that he was being self-indulgent. Mongolia didn't come to be a dog for him, but came to negotiate terms with him, asking for Monan?

In an instant, Luo Youdu's originally enthusiastic expression became indifferent, and he looked at Hu Ming and said, "That is to say, you are thinking about my Monan?"

Hu Ming was dumbfounded and said at a loss, "When did Mo Mo Nan belong to His Majesty?"

Luo Youdu said: "At this moment, I can say it."

Facing Luo Youdu's shameless words and attitude, Hu Ming didn't know how to respond for a while. He was dumbfounded for a moment, and immediately lowered his head and said: "Your Majesty sits on the world and owns the richest land in the world. Monan has been the residence of the Eastern Hu since ancient times My lord wants to go back to my hometown and let the people in the clan live a good life, that’s all. My lord is sincerely attached, why does your majesty reject my lord thousands of miles away?"

Luo Youdu shook his head and said with a smile: "Just because I have all over the world, do you want a piece of the pie?"

He got up straight away, looked at Hu Ming with burning eyes, and said, "Go back and tell your patriarchs that we don't allow even a single inch of territory in China. If he sincerely joins us, I welcome him. Do you have any intention of stealing land? Let him weigh his weight. "

As he spoke, he turned around and walked towards the apse.

Seeing this step, Hu Ming couldn't help but shouted behind his back: "Your Majesty is not worried about our alliance with Eastern Khitan?"

Luo Youdu stopped in his tracks, turned around and said, "Are you threatening me?" He shook his head and said, "Let him come! I'm waiting..."

It's not that he doesn't know that agreeing to Mongolia's request can make the war easier, but there are some bottom lines that cannot be compromised.

What he wants is a dog that can be controlled, not an unruly wolf.

After being governed by the Later Tang and Khitan, Monan already has a certain vitality, especially the Dading Mansion in Zhongjing.

The Khitan and Han people coexisted, and the Khitan and Xi people herded livestock while the Han people cultivated and complemented each other.

Luo Youdu is going to carry forward this situation, integrate the basic Sinicized Khitan, use them to control the Monan Grassland, and expand the actual control of the imperial court to Monan.

Originally, the unification of Mongolia made him have a certain amount of fear, but now they want to take food from the tiger's mouth under such circumstances, it is wishful thinking.

Hu Ming walked out of the Youzhou government office in a daze, his head was full of confusion, he didn't understand why Luo Youdu dared to offend the Mongols at this time, isn't he really afraid that they will unite with the Eastern Khitan?
Walking out of the government office, I saw a red cavalry army galloping towards them. The number of them was about a hundred. All of them were wearing red mountain armor, riding Ujimqin horses, wearing long bows, and were equipped with scimitars. For mighty.

The leader was actually a woman, who was also wearing Shanwen Armor, but the style was more exquisite and gorgeous. The pockets were inlaid with exquisite patterns, and the armor pieces were embroidered in a cross shape, which further set off the general's aura.

Xiao Hunian?
In just a moment, Hu Ming knew the identity of the visitor.

If it is said that Monan has been in the limelight the most in recent years, it is the daughter of the Xiao family. She held high the banner of righteousness to avenge her father in Zhangjiakou, recruited herdsmen and trained the army.

With the financial and material support of the Central Plains, and the great banner of the Xiao family, many Khitan herdsmen and small tribes defected, including Yeluxian and Yelupode, two well-known figures in Khitan.

From the initial [-] tents of Xiao Shululie and Xiao Talin's father and son, it has now grown to more than [-] tents, which is like an upper-middle-scale grassland tribe.

With the expansion of strength, Xiao Hunian began to expand to Monan, seizing the pastures of North Khitan and East Khitan.

The East Khitan is still good, their strength is not bad, and in the area of ​​Zhongjing Dadingfu, in order to guard against the Central Plains, they built various defense lines early.

They learned from the forts in the early years of the Central Plains, and built multiple ring-protected forts in key fortresses to resist the future attacks of the Central Plains.

The imaginary enemy of the Eastern Khitan was the Central Plains, and the structure of the fort was extremely strong, so Xiao Hunian was naturally unable to conquer it, at most he would bypass the fort and plunder some cattle and sheep.

North Khitan naturally became the direction of Xiao Hunian's expansion.

The status of the Northern Khitan itself is very embarrassing. As a powerful force across the south and north of the desert, after the Taiping King Yelufu Sage and the Eastern Khitan split, at the beginning, relying on their own relationship, they were like ducks in water between Yunjiuzhou, Mobei Mongolia, and Shatuo , while enjoying the dividends of trade with the Central Plains, while supporting Mongolia, leaning on it as a helping hand.

If Yelvfeng Sage grasps the opportunity, there is still a bright future.

But Yelufeng Sage was satisfied with this, and instead of taking the opportunity to become bigger and stronger, he was satisfied with the status quo.

Finally, from active to passive.

Luo Youdu attacked Yun Jiuzhou, forced Yelu Dilie to surrender without bloodshed, and cut off contact with Northern Khitan.After the rise of Mongolia, he was also dissatisfied with the conservativeness of Yelufu Sage, and moved to set up his own family.

The strength of North Khitan was greatly damaged.

Xiao Hunian seized this opportunity to eat away at the grasslands of Northern Khitan. At first Xiao Hunian still needed the support of Yang Ye and Yun Jiuzhou. Arm wrestling with North Khitan, even in the upper hand.

The estrangement between Mongolia and North Khitan is also caused by the fact that North Khitan is getting weaker and weaker.

The elder brother is not as strong as the younger brother, how can the younger brother not be tempted?

Hu Ming kept his gaze on Ujim Qinma under Xiao Hunian's knight seat, feeling bad in his heart.

Both Mongolian horses and Khitan horses are known for their endurance, but Mongolian horses have a better spleen and stomach and more tenacious vitality.

Generally, if a war horse wants to have the strength to fight, it must be fed with food and fat in order to perform stably. However, Mongolian horses can maintain stable performance even if they are fed coarse grains, and even run long distances.

Hu Ming suggested to the beggars of the Wu family many years ago to reduce the sale of Mongolian horses. Their military equipment is far inferior to that of the Khitan, let alone the Central Plains. The only advantage is the special product of Mobei, the Mongolian horses that are good at fighting.

Mongolian horses are their advantage, and they cannot let their advantage be controlled by the enemy.

At first, they didn't have many choices. They couldn't do without the materials from the Central Plains, so they could only do transactions passively.However, with the internal unification and the joint distribution of materials, people have begun to pay attention to this issue, and the sale of Mongolian horses is strictly prohibited, let alone the fine Ujimqin horses among Mongolian horses.

Everyone in Xiao Hunian's personal guard rides Ujimqin horses?
Does this mean that the Central Plains has a lot of equipment?

Hu Ming inexplicably felt a chill down his spine. They had close contacts with smugglers in the Central Plains. They had an approximate number of Mongolian horses that had flowed to the Central Plains over the years, and it was absolutely impossible to equip them in large quantities.

Unless the Central Plains has other trade channels in their Mongolia...

Thinking of Luo Youdu's decisive attitude, Hu Ming's heart fluttered.

"I have seen Your Majesty!"

Xiao Hunian's face was a little flushed, and his big eyes were watery.

When I was in Bianjing, I didn't feel it because I saw each other from time to time.After parting, Xiao Hunian understood the feeling of missing Huaichun.

During these days in Mobei, although she relied on Xiao Jiayi's banner, she pulled up a tribe of [-] tents.

But Xiao Hunian knew in her heart that everything she had today was due to the support of the man in front of her.

Otherwise, in the ferocious grassland, it would not be so easy to pull together a group.

The tribes on the prairie attach great importance to population. If you dare to take in a dozen tribesmen from other tribes today, the other tribe may call you tomorrow.

Like them, ignorant of the consequences and mindless absorption of other herdsmen, has really become a target of public criticism on the grassland.

A group of herdsmen with no relationship basis coming together is nothing more than a rabble.

It was with Luo Youdu's support that she was able to set up a camp of [-] tents; they, a mob, would not be targeted for annexation, and it was also with his support that they could have first-class equipment and a military training environment.

Xiao Hunian saw all this in his eyes and remembered it in his heart, and he missed Ailang who silently supported him even more. At this moment, when he saw the repressed longing, he felt faintly overflowing.

"Sit down, why are you being polite?"

Luo Youdu pointed to the lower left head that was close to him. This interview with Xiao Hunian was naturally different from the interview with Hu Ming.

He met Xiao Hunian directly in the back hall.

Luo Youdu first praised Xiao Hunian's achievements in Zhenwu City.

Zhenwu City is Zhangjiakou. With the establishment of Xiao Hunian, a Zhenwu City was built at the northern end of Zhangjiakou. In view of Zhangjiakou's geographical environment, Zhenwu City will become a transportation hub connecting Youjin and Jinmeng in the future. , has extremely high strategic significance.

Xiao Hunian was secretly delighted at the phrase "one of my own", and after listening to his praise, he felt that all his efforts were not in vain, and said affectionately, "It is because of His Majesty's support that I am able to succeed today."

Luo Youdu looked at Xiao Hunian in military uniform, suddenly his mouth was parched, since he left Beijing he had been analyzing the situation between the enemy and us, and he hadn't had any meat yet.

He suppressed his thoughts and talked about the business: "Are you sure about going to Mongolia?"

There was a trace of regret in Xiao Hunian's eyes, but without hesitation, he said, "It's just Mongolia, I'm quite sure, but for the Northern Khitan and Mongolia, our department is still a little bit worse."

During these days in Monan, Xiao Hunian prepared enough homework for the situation in the north, and said: "The rise of Mongolia seems to be extremely powerful. But there is one shortcoming, they lack strong armor and sharp blades. The Mongols are really brave and good at fighting." False, but the inferiority in equipment is not easy to make up for. The North Khitan seems to be not as strong as before, but Yelufeng Sage has been in the northwest for many years, and the emaciated camel is bigger than a horse. He has a Taiping army in his hand, and the armor he wears is The heavy armor of the Khitan iron harrier should not be underestimated. The beggar of the Wu family and the Sage of Yelufu are inseparable in appearance, and the beggar of the Wu family did not dare to take advantage of the opportunity to enter, probably out of fear."

She said with burning eyes: "Yelufu Sage can lose ten times, but Wu's beggar can't lose one."

Luo Youdu understood, looking at Xiao Hunian, who was becoming more and more like a general, he felt emotional in his heart, able to overwhelm Mongolia and Dangxiang, the frontier commander of Megatron Northwest really had a unique talent in military affairs.

Yelufu Sage has been in the Northwest for many years, and the people around him are loyal and solid.But Wu's beggar rose too fast, and his foothold was unstable.If there is meat to eat, he is the king of Mongolia. Once he is defeated and has no profit, he is nothing.

This is also the reason why Xiao Hunian is not afraid of Mongolia, but cares more about the seemingly weak Northern Khitan.

Luo Youdu was not worried about this: "Don't worry, as long as Mongolia and Eastern Khitan unite, Northern Khitan will no longer be a problem."

Xiao Hunian's army has made a lot of progress, but it is obviously still a little bit behind in terms of insight into people's hearts.

Luo Youdu explained: "The human heart is a very strange thing, especially for a character like Yelufeng Sage. He can accept that he is defeated by his mortal enemy, or even prostrate himself at the enemy's feet. But he can't accept that his younger brother surpasses him, let alone Maybe accept that I will bow down at the feet of my former younger brother. On the surface, we and the North Khitan are mortal enemies, but in fact the North Khitan and Mongolia are the real mortal enemies, but they have not revealed this layer of paper. Once Mongolia and East Khitan unite, Yelufu will Ge Hui is more eager than anyone else for the defeat of Eastern Khitan and Mongolia. Only in this way, Mongolia will not climb on his head... Only if Mongolia is defeated, the younger brother will always be the younger brother."

Xiao Hunian suddenly realized, and said: "Understood, don't worry, Your Majesty, Mongolia will be handed over to my concubine."

She suddenly blushed, and said in a low voice: "I... I came here from Zhenwu City on a fast horse, and I am a little tired. I wonder if His Majesty can arrange accommodation, rest for one night, and go north tomorrow."

Luo Youdu originally wanted to bear it and ate her when he married her, but it seems that Khitan girls don't pay much attention to these things, so...

"The post house is full, let's stay in the palace..."
