Aspiring to the Ten Kingdoms

Chapter 638 Killer
When Luo Youdu woke up, he looked at Xiao Hunian with the octopus wrapped around him, the corners of his mouth slightly curled up, thinking about the day he would return from victory, and he would take off his battle robe with the general.

Now they skip the process and fast-forward to the final step.

Thinking of last night's madness, I have to say that grassland girls are really unrestrained in this respect.

For the first time, Xiao Hunian vented his longing, and repeatedly suppressed it automatically.

It's also thanks to Luo Youdu's battle experience, otherwise he would be in danger of being killed by a novice.

Just as she was feeling emotional, she saw that the beauty in her arms had woken up and was looking at him quietly, with a little reluctance in her eyes.

Luo Youdu thought that the female general in his arms was about to go to the battlefield, so Dayi gave up the morning run with a bit of death...

Rarely staying in bed, Luo Youdu ate breakfast and came to the battle meeting room of the Youzhou Palace.

This combat meeting room was specially arranged by Luo Youdu. In the middle is the meeting room for discussing the military situation. There is a huge topographic map hanging on the left. The topographic map mainly covers the sixteen prefectures of Yanyun, Monan, Mobei and the whole territory of Khitan.

On the right is a huge battlefield sandbox.

The battlefield sand table is actually not a rare object. In the Han Dynasty, in order to reassure Liu Xiu and the soldiers, General Fubo Ma Yuan used rice to make valleys and pointed to mountains and rivers. The prototype of the battlefield sand table appeared.

However, people later found it troublesome and paid attention to it carelessly. Occasionally enabling it was hasty, and did not fully utilize the true magical effect of the battlefield sand table.

Luo Youdu is skilled in military affairs and knows the importance of an accurate map. After taking office, he specially recruited painters to survey the terrain and draw maps. He also trained some talents who are good at building battlefield sand tables to reduce the battlefield terrain to the sand table.

He came near the battlefield sand table, looked at the huge sand table, and the entire terrain of Monan was vivid in front of his eyes.

Luo Youdu looked at the two red flags near Zhangjiakou, pulled them up with clips, and pushed a hundred miles north to defend against the threat of Mongolia.

He looked at the flag with Cao and Pan written in his hand, thought for a while, took out the red flag with the word Pan and planted it on Yuguan.

The red flag with Pan character naturally represents Pan Meibu.

Pan Mei once attacked Lingnan and has rich experience in mountain warfare.From Yuguan to Liaodong, the terrain along the way is complex and dangerous, so it is just right for Pan Mei to lead his troops to attack.

Then he moved his Chinese army from Youzhou out of Gubeikou to Xinghua County, and stopped at the lower reaches of the Liu River west of Xinghua County.

In ancient times, it was called Chengde in Western Liao Dynasty, which is also the location of the summer resort. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yan State built the Great Wall here, but it has long been abandoned.

Liaoxi is well connected to all directions. It can support Xiao Hunian's tribe, and it can also go directly to Liaodong to support Pan Mei. It can also confront the Khitan main force in Dading Mansion head-on.

If Youzhou is the rear base camp, then Xinghua in western Liaoning will be the front base camp.

There is no choice for the rest of Cao Zihongqi representing Cao Bin...

He inserted Cao Bin's troops into the left flank of the Chinese army...

The Khitan dominates the world with cavalry, and their best tactic is to attack and circle around.

Cao Bin's troops are dominated by cavalry, and the best way to fight against cavalry is to use cavalry to control cavalry.

His purpose is either to attack in a roundabout way, or to protect the central army.

If there is no accident, Luo Youdu's eyes fell on the middle of Xinghua County and Dading Mansion, Zezhou, Shenshan, Songtingguan, Songziling, which will be the main battlefield in the future.

He deduced the trend of the situation in his mind, everything was as he expected, he successfully lured the Khitan army to Monan, and there will be a duel on the grassland Gobi.

"Your Majesty, King Wei has arrived!"

Luo Youdu could not live in his mind to deduce the situation of the battle, when he was suddenly notified by the guards.

Luo Youdu put down the red flag in his hand, strode out of the hall to greet him personally.

Fu Yanqing was called by him. There is an old man in the family, like a treasure.

Fu Yanqing is no longer suitable for commanding an army. He is an official of the king of Wei and a relative of the state. It is not good for him to boost the power of his army.

However, Luo Youdu still invited him to be a staff officer with the army to give him advice.

Fu Yanqing has a wealth of experience in fighting Khitan, it would be of great benefit to bring him by his side and listen to his opinions.

Fu Yanqing has stopped doing things these years, and walks the eagle, teases the dog and races every day, just like a boy with a dog.

Seeing Luo Youdu coming out in person, Fu Yanqing was flattered and hurried to salute.

"Wei Wang, you have worked hard all the way!"

Luo Youdu glanced at Guo Tun behind him, saw him salute, nodded slightly, pulled Fu Yanqing into the house and walked to the combat conference room, brought him to the sand table, and discussed the military situation with him.

Fu Yanqing has fought all his life in battle. When it comes to experience, Luo Youdu, an old fritter who has experienced many battles, is considered a rookie in front of him. In addition, Fu Yanqing has dealt with Khitan for a lifetime, and his knowledge of Khitan is far better than him. Lots of sound comments.

Fu Yanqing said: "Eastern Khitan seems to be thriving now, but it is like a young man full of vigor. Yeluxiu and Yelu Xiezhen are nothing to be afraid of. Compared with us in our prime, we are still a bit inferior. The only thing to worry about , but Yelu Wuzhi is old..."

He was used to swearing, and was about to say it as an "old beast", but he took a peek at Luo Youdu, and changed his words: "The older you are, the more monster you are, and you are good at planning, so don't underestimate it."

Luo Youdu nodded and said, "What the King of Wei said is that Yelu Wuzhi's several attacks have caused us to burn out. Without him in Eastern Khitan, the conflict between the old and the new may not be suppressed by Yelu."

Fu Yanqing said: "Your Majesty started with Japan and Goryeo, and forced Eastern Khitan to give up defense and take the initiative to attack. This move is really clever. I have fought all my life, but I can't match it. However, the opponent has been preparing for so many years. If there is no trump card to defeat the enemy, the veteran will I don't believe it."

Luo Youdu couldn't help but nodded, stroked his beard lightly, and felt that Fu Yanqing's words made sense.

In the past few years, the East Khitan of the Central Plains has looked a bit like the bald eagle and bear during the Cold War. They are all working hard to develop their military, just like an arms race.

For this reason, the rapid development of ironmaking technology in the Central Plains has resulted in overcapacity, and various iron pots and other iron utensils began to prevail among the people.

Eastern Khitan is not that exaggerated, but when they entered the Central Plains, they brought all kinds of craftsmen and technical drawings from the Central Plains back to Khitan, and they had already mastered the smelting technology of the Central Plains in the middle of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the armor-making process of the Tang Dynasty.

In recent years, the Khitan has added a heavy armored cavalry called the Iron Forest Army. The original subway kite cavalry has also been expanded, and there is even an additional armored infantry.

The Khitans also played with infantry.

Obviously they have realized that in many cases, infantry can do things that cavalry cannot.

In the battle of Sangganhe, Zhang Qiong, Dangjin's cavalry and Liu Fu's infantry cooperated with each other to fight, and taught them a lesson.

For this reason, Khitan has also refined its tactics over the years.

All of this was inquired by Luo Youdu through various means.

It is enough to show that Eastern Khitan prepared for today's battle a long time ago.

However, these advances are due to the pressure from the Central Plains, which has stimulated the country's potential, and the technology tree obtained from it should not be considered a killer feature, right?
Luo Youdu fell into deep thought, and didn't have a clue for a while, so he asked, "Does King Wei have any ideas?"

Fu Yanqing shook his head and said: "No, I just think it's possible, and that old thing may not have any trump card. It's best to be careful, there's no need to delve into it."

Luo Youdu suddenly thought of Li Xunhuan in Gu Long's novel. Shangguan Jinhong's strength crushed Xiao Li Tanhua, and he could kill Li Xunhuan, but he just wanted to see if he could catch Xiao Li's flying knife, and then show his flaws... In the end, he won box lunch.

Thinking of this, he clasped his hands together and said: "It makes sense, any trump card can be used, it must be because of oneself, it has given the other party an opportunity. As long as we don't give the other party a chance, no matter how powerful the other party's trump card is?"

Luo Youdu has already comprehended the essence of the art of war, first to be invincible, and then to defeat the enemy.

Try everything.

Luo Youdu thought for a while, and called out: "Go and call Guo Tingwei."

"His Majesty!"

Not long after, Guo Ting said that he entered the palace.

Luo Youdu pointed to Guo Tingwei and introduced to Fu Yanqing: "This is Guo Tingwei, my favorite general under my command, the commander of the imperial battalion division's Xiongwu army, he is wise and courageous, and he has the style of his ancestor Guo Linggong."

Then he said to Guo Ting: "This king of Wei, my Taishan, I don't need to introduce his name. The Khitan trembled and shouted 'King Fu' after hearing this."

With a simple introduction, both of them feel very comfortable.

Guo Ting said he hurriedly saluted and said hello.

Guo Tingzhi's status was far from comparable to that of Fu Yanqing, but after hearing that he was Guo Ziyi, he couldn't help but respectfully return the greeting.

Looking at Guo Tingzhi, Luo Youdu asked: "I've been waiting for a battle, it's been a long time."

Guo Ting said that he was not an old man who belonged to the Imperial Division like Pan Mei and Chang Side.However, he, Shu Yuan, and Lin Renzhao, the three Southern Tang generals, were the first to stand on his side, standing side by side with the Dianqian Division and the Guards' Division, and supported the Third Division of the Imperial Guard.

Luo Youdu's expectations for them are the same.

Guo Ting said: "It is the long-cherished wish of the last general to establish the merits of opening up the frontier and expanding the territory for the imperial court."

Luo Youdu nodded with a smile, paused and said: "But now I need one person to guard Youzhou, I can't think of another person who is more suitable than you."

Guo Ting said: "Don't worry, Your Majesty, the general will guarantee that the city is alive and the people are there, and the city is still there when the people are dead."

"Okay!" Luo Youdu patted Guo Tingzhi on the shoulder and said, "You sacrifice a bit this time, and I will double the compensation next time."

In the early years, compared to Guo Tingzhi, a general who had both wisdom and courage but no personality, he liked Shu Yuan more, a general who had a clear personality and dared to fight.

But after serving as the emperor for a long time, he realized that Guo Tingzhi is a real treasure who is capable and good-tempered, courteous and cautious, who does not fight or grab, and does whatever he asks him to do.

**********
Dadingfu!
The emperor of the Eastern Khitan is hosting Hu Ming, the envoy to Mongolia, with the highest banquet.

Hu Ming looked at the Khitan executives accompanying him from all directions, and felt in his heart that this is the real way of hospitality.

Just the Central Plains?That small family spirit, if you don't lose, you will be a ghost.

After Hu Ming returned to Mongolia, he couldn't help telling Wu's beggar what he had seen and heard in Youzhou.

Wu's beggar is full of confidence in forming an alliance with the Central Plains. He has always believed that both sides will get what they need, and the alliance will be successful.

Unexpectedly, the Central Plains would not give him the face of the Mongol king at all, and the little Monan was not willing to give it.

Is it possible that you have to work for nothing?

The beggar of the Wu family became more and more angry, and Boduanchaer also fanned the flames when he saw this, which directly contributed to the alliance between Mongolia and Eastern Khitan.

Wu's beggar asked Hu Ming to go to Dading Mansion again.

Hu Ming is a descendant of the Xi clan, and his family slaughtered for the Khitan, so he didn't like the Khitan at all.

But Yelu Bishe was full of enthusiasm for his arrival, not only let Yu Yue Yelu Wuzhi greet him in person, but also hosted a banquet in person for Khitan's respectable people to accompany him.

Thinking that he would be Wang Meng of Mongolia, how could he ignore the country's plans for a little grudge?
Immediately let go of everything, and have a drink with all the enemies.

At the end of the banquet, Yelu Bishe left Hu Ming alone, as well as Yelu Wuzhi and Han Derang, the two core figures of Khitan.

This battle is imminent, and the two sides did not compete for petty profits, and reached an agreement soon.

If this battle is won, the two will carve up Yun Kyushu.

But if they win a big victory and break into the defense line of Yanshan Mountain, then the Qizhou of Yan will belong to the Eastern Khitan, and the Jiuzhou of Yun will belong to Mongolia.

Hu Ming said: "There is one more thing, my lord hopes that His Majesty can grant it."

Yelu Bishe said, "Your envoy, but it's okay to say."

Hu Ming said: "Regarding the matter of King Taiping, King Taiping and my lord answered each other's sympathies. The friendship between the two is deeper than mountains and seas. My lord hopes that your majesty will not punish him."

Yelu Bishe said sadly: "King Taiping and I are also brothers. It is only because of his Central Plains tricks that he misunderstood me deeply that we are today. As long as King Taiping no longer embarrasses the court in the future, I am willing to reunite with him. .”

Hu Ming was overjoyed and said, "So, it couldn't be better."

Hu Ming bid farewell and left contentedly.

Yelu Bishe directly asked Han Derang to be responsible for sending them off.

Yelv Bishe looked at Hu Ming's back and collapsed on the chair. Since he learned that Wu's beggars sent envoys to discuss an alliance with the Central Plains, he had trouble sleeping and eating.

Until today, after confirming the alliance matters, I was relieved, and said: "Zhibu is quite ambitious. Hearing their tone, they still want to capture Yunjiuzhou and enter Taiyuan from Yanmen Pass to attack Shanxi? I ​​really don't know how to face..."

There was a bit of mockery in his tone.

It is impossible for him to make Mongolia bigger.

If this battle is lost, naturally there is nothing to say, but it is really about to win.

It is impossible for the Central Plains to make another Northern Expedition in the short term. At that time, Wuliangha of Boduanchaer will let Mongolia know what is sinister.

As long as Boduanchaer wants Mobei, Yelu will be willing to give it, but Wu's beggar covets Monan, that is absolutely impossible.

Yelu Wuzhi pulled out a piece of information from his bosom at this time, and said: "Your Majesty, just now at the banquet, the old minister got the news. Nanchao has already left Gubeikou and is heading towards Bei'an Prefecture."

Yelu Bishe looked solemn and said, "It's finally here."

Yelu Wuzhi nodded silently, and said: "Yang Ye has appeared near the sacred mountain. This person comes and goes like the wind, and is extremely brave. He is already exploring the way for the Southern Dynasty."

Yelu Bishe said proudly: "He has Yang Ye, and I also have Yelu Xiezhen, so why be afraid of him?" After a pause, he lowered his voice and said, "The Southern Dynasty has already gone to war, when will Yu Yue attack?"
