This is the day when the army goes out for battle.
Luo Youdu got up early in the morning. Instead of rushing A to go out, he picked up Chou Chou skillfully and made various strange sounds in his mouth to play with him.
It has been nine days since the little guy was born.
As Wen Po said, the little guy is different every day.
The fetal oil on the body has been absorbed by itself, the jaundice has subsided, and the skin has become whiter and fairer. The facial features that were originally huddled gradually unfolded, and they no longer looked like aliens.
However, the skin is still a little wrinkled, and it is said that it will take more than a month, as the baby grows rapidly, for the wrinkles to disappear.
"Chou Chou is gradually becoming less ugly. It's a pity that daddy can't see you becoming more handsome."
"Don't blame dad. There are some things you shouldn't do now. It will be difficult to do them when your generation does it."
Now that she has a child, Luo Youdu has a little more care and responsibility in her heart.
Even though Chou Chou is no longer ugly, Luo Youdu has no intention of changing his name.
Nicknames are the custom of this era, and the meaner the better.
Compared with Jin Chenggong's black butt, Sima Xiang's dog, Tao Kan's creek dog, and Li Zhi's pheasant slave.
Luo Youdu thinks Chou Chou sounds much better.
When he is older, give him the name you want.
Fu Qing'er laughed at the side and said: "Let me go, sir. I have a concubine at home. I will definitely raise Chou Chou until he is fat and white, waiting for my husband to return in triumph."
"wait me back!"
Luo Youdu handed Chou Chou to Fu Qing'er, kissed her gently on the forehead, turned and left.
Fu Qing'er didn't go out to see her off. She was still in confinement and couldn't stand the cold.
She must have a good body so that she can take better care of their children.
As soon as I walked out of the inner house, I saw an iron lump stuck in the hall.
Luo Youdu took a closer look and realized it was Hu Yanzan.
Hu Yanzan was now covered in Zha armor sewn together with iron armor leaves, covering almost his entire body. He looked like a humanoid tank.
"Command the army!"
Hu Yanzan's voice was three times louder. This stupid boy had always dreamed of killing a thief. Now he finally had a chance. He was so excited that he couldn't sleep well all night. At dawn, he couldn't wait to put on this heirloom armor.
.
Luo Youdu stepped forward and knocked on Hu Yanzan's chest, feeling the thickness of the armor, and asked, "Isn't this armor lightweight?"
"It's not heavy!" Hu Yan praised: "It's only sixty-five pounds!"
Luo Youdu clicked his tongue and said: "It's really not heavy, it's just a little heavier than a walking armor."
The cavalry commander wore armor that was heavier than that of the infantry. It was neither heavy nor heavy, not heavy at all.
Luo Youdu waved his hand and led Hu Yanzan and more than ten personal guards to the Yuyingsi military camp.
The entire Bianjing city was filled with an atmosphere of farewell.
Soldiers, soldiers and generals either merged with their own troops or went south directly.
They did not plan to go directly north, so exposing their whereabouts prematurely would be detrimental to their plans.
Therefore, the first step was to head south in a deceptive manner, and then at night, they turned around and headed north, advancing both by land and water, and heading towards Ningzhou with lightning speed.
Luo Youdu arrived at the Imperial Camp Division. Cao Bin and Pan Mei were ready, and 18,000 soldiers were lined up neatly waiting for Luo Youdu's review.
The Royal Camp Division only has fifteen thousand troops, and there are three thousand troops brought by Shu Yuan.
After receiving the order, Shu Yuan led his troops to Yuyingsi to join the army.
As for Guo Tingwei, as the defense envoy of Bozhou, he was closer to the naval camp of the Zhou Dynasty.
Luo Youdu asked him to lead his three thousand soldiers and horses to the navy camp to wait for the rendezvous.
Looking at the valiant soldiers, Luo Youdu didn't say much nonsense. This move south was a deception, and it was useless to talk more. He just shouted: "Let's set off for merit and rewards!"
With a wave of his hand, he dialed directly.
The simple words spoke to Shu Yuan's heart.
This strong general, who was willing to risk his life against the enemy in order to achieve great achievements, rode his horse to Luo Youdu's side and said: "Commander, even though the equipment of these soldiers under my command is not as good as that of the Imperial Camp Division, they will not be much inferior in fighting."
Luo Youdu did not doubt his words at all. Shu Yuan was the kind of general who could bring out the potential of his soldiers. He was best at fighting hard battles and risking his life against the enemy. He was a good player.
Luo Youdu said softly: "I can tell you everything in advance. Our task is the most important. As long as it is successful, we will not get the first credit. But you should know that high returns mean huge risks. The two are
coexisting."
Shu Yuan's eyes were like those of a hungry wolf, shining brightly, and he said excitedly: "If there is any dirty work, just ask the commander to do it, and the subordinates will not even frown."
Luo Youdu nodded affirmatively and said, "I believe this!"
However, it is said that while Luo Youdu led his troops to the Huaihe Navy camp, the armies of the Zhou Dynasty also completed their deployment and pretended to go south.
Then at nightfall, we decisively headed north and crossed the Yellow River silently.
On April 10th, Guo Rong arrived at Cangzhou on the border of the Great Zhou Dynasty.
As in history, the Zhou army moved north very quickly, and the news was extremely concealed. It was not where the Zhou Dynasty's horses and horses passed, and the local people did not know about the Zhou Dynasty's Northern Expedition.
The Khitan is even more unclear.
On April 11, Guo Rong arrived at the Qianning military camp, and the vanguard general Murong Yanzhao came directly to the Khitan Ningzhou city.
The governor of Ningzhou, Wang Hong, was a Han Chinese. In this chaotic situation, he had no special feelings for the Khitan or the Central Plains.
No matter whether it is the Khitan or the Central Plains, as long as you can live a good life and let your wife, children and parents live a good life, no matter where you are, you are not messing around, and where you are not serving others?
There is no difference between left and right.
So when Murong Yanzhao's troops came to the city, An Qimai, a Khitan judge in Ningzhou, immediately consolidated the city's defenses and ordered people to go to Youdu Mansion to send a message to Xiao Siwen, preparing to hold on to Ningzhou.
Wang Hong led his soldiers to An Qimai's back and stabbed him in the back.
Ningzhou surrendered directly to Zhou Dynasty without spending a single soldier.
Guo Rong immediately ordered Li Chongjin to go to Dingzhou Xishan Road to guard the key points and block reinforcements from the Northern Han Dynasty.
At the same time, Han Tong and Zhao Kuangyin were ordered to advance by land and water to Yijin Pass.
The Zhou soldiers advanced rapidly. Zhong Tinghui, the defender of Yijin Pass, did not dare to stop him with only a thousand troops, so he surrendered again.
The news that Dazhou had taken over a state finally reached Xiao Siwen of Youdu Prefecture.
Xiao Siwen was stunned when he saw the battle report coming from the front line.
He remembered that someone had told him half a year ago that the Zhou army's goal was to go north, not south.
Although Xiao Siwen likes Han culture very much and respects Song Xiong very much.
But deep down in his heart, he also felt that fighting with troops was a matter for warriors.
What achievements can a helpless book lover make in the military?
Do you really think everyone is like Zhuge Liang, Xie Xuan, or Chen Qingzhi?
What's more, Xiao Siwen only respected Song Xiong's literary talents and studied the Central Plains culture with him. He never regarded Song Xiong as a confidant and never discussed any political affairs with him.
Therefore, when faced with Song Xiong's reminder, his attitude was to ignore it.
