Yelu Xiyin whipped for a while, seemed tired, and threw the whip aside, still feeling a little unhappy.
"Get out!"
He kicked Sheyi and rolled him twice, his face a little red with embarrassment.
I wanted to establish my authority, but unexpectedly I walked past the gate of hell.
Now that King Fu is here, how can we fight?
Yelu Xiyin was worried.
Huh!
Then I thought about it and laughed to myself.
What are you worrying about?
The one who lost the battle and was embarrassed was Yelujing, the sleeping emperor. What does it have to do with him?
If he loses face, it will be more convenient for him to rebel.
Thinking of this, Yelu Xiyin made another big change in his attitude. He rode back to the camp and directly informed Yelujing of Fu Yanqing's arrival at the front line, and accidentally let the entire Khitan army know about it.
When Yelujing heard Fu Yanqing's arrival, her expression changed drastically and her heart beat rapidly.
During the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms, the world was in turmoil.
It just so happened that the Khitan had a hero like Yelu Abaoji, so it was natural to go south to take advantage.
But none of the military leaders of the Five Dynasties were easy to offend. Liu Rengong burned the pastures, Fu Cunshen and his son, Li Sizhao, Li Siyuan, and Guo Chongtao took turns using the Khitans as experience packages.
Among them, Fu Cunshen and Fu Yanqing, father and son, were more ruthless than the other.
Fu Yanqing was a representative figure of the brave warrior faction in this era. He was philanthropic and regarded money as dirt. He distributed all the wealth given to him by the past dynasties to his subordinates. Even the soldiers were willing to die for him.
Regardless of the number of opponents, Fu Yanqing dared to lead his cavalry into battle, and there were many battles in which he defeated more with less.
In the battle of Tieqiu, Gao Xingzhou was surrounded by 30,000 Khitan cavalry. Fu Yanqing directly entered the formation with hundreds of cavalry, forcing the Khitan to retreat.
In the Battle of Yangcheng, Fu Yanqing used tens of thousands of cavalry to charge through 80,000 Khitan cavalry, killing the Khitan army like ashes. Abandoned horses and armors were everywhere, and Yelv Deguang fled alone.
With him stationed at the border, the Khitan soldiers did not even dare to invade the Caogu Valley.
So much so that the Khitan people feared Fu Yanqing as much as a tiger and respectfully called him King Fu. Even when their horses were sick and refused to eat, they would take Fu Yanqing out and scold him: "Is there anything evil about King Fu in this?"
However, because Fu Yanqing's reputation was too great and he was slandered by others, Shi Chonggui only asked him to lead thousands of old, weak and disabled soldiers to guard Jingzhoukou.
The Jin army commander Du Chongwei surrendered to the Khitan with 100,000 troops, which directly led to the Khitan taking over the Central Plains.
Fu Yanqing and Gao Xingzhou saw that the situation was over, so they also surrendered to the Khitans.
After learning that Fu Yanqing had surrendered, the first thing Shu Luping, the Khitan Empress Dowager Shu Luping, who was far away in Shangjing, asked her attendants: "Where is Fu Yanqing?"
When he heard Yelv Deguang letting Fu Yanqing return to Xuzhou, his expression suddenly changed and he said: "It is a huge mistake to keep this person in the Central Plains!"
This shows how much prestige Fu Yanqing has in Khitan.
No less than Zhang Liao, who made Jiang Dong stop crying, and Yue Fei, who beat the Jurchens and called them grandpa.
"Why is this old guy on the battlefield?"
As the eldest son of Yelu Deguang, Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, Yelu Jing still remembers how embarrassing his arrogant father was to Fu Yanqing in the Battle of Yangcheng.
Glancing at Yelu Xiyin, Yelujing waved her hand to let him go down, her expression uncertain.
At this moment, Yelujing had the idea of withdrawing his troops.
If it really doesn't work, why not go back to school?
Yelujing's tyranny was not stupid, but he was very politically savvy.
It can be seen that he has been the sleeping emperor for many years, but he has been firmly sitting in this position.
It's not that no one rebelled, it's that he killed all those who rebelled.
He knew that many people in Khitan were laughing at him. If they were defeated this time, there would be a bloody storm after returning.
Why not just quit?
"Anyway, this Youdu Mansion was originally the land of the Han people, so what if it is returned to the Han people?"
Yelujing murmured to himself in a low voice, vaguely thinking of retreating.
**********
Youzhou City.
Luo Youdu showed respect to his uncle, and took Gao Huaide and Hu Yanzan with him to prepare to go out of the city gate to greet him personally.
Gao Huaide's father, Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing, were two notorious warlord leaders in the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms.
The relationship between the two families is excellent and they have supported each other many times, so they brought them together.
As for Hu Yanzan, the Fu family was very kind to the Huyan family. If it weren't for Fu Yanqing's face, Luo Youdu would not be able to invite Hu Yanzan to help him.
Before the Tianxiong Army arrived, Luo Youdu rested on the tower and chatted with Gao Huaide and Hu Yanzan.
Leaning against the female wall, Luo Youdu suddenly felt like he had forgotten something.
"coming!"
The soldier on guard had sharp eyes and reminded him.
Luo Youdu turned around and looked far away, and saw a mighty and majestic force approaching from afar.
When they got closer, Luo Youdu's eyes flashed with something strange.
This powerful force coming from afar did not move in disarray, forming a huge square array as a whole.
Gu Feng
Luo Youdu had Fu Yanqing's military experience, which was a formation Fu Yanqing created based on his many years of fighting with the Khitans.
"In the realm of thieves, use gun camps for accommodation, square formations for travel, and make arrangements when the situation arises to ensure complete coordination."
Luo Youdu sighed: "It is indeed a powerful team!"
When it comes to military equipment, the Tianxiong Army may not be as good as the Forbidden Army carefully cultivated by Guo Rong, but with the veterans who have followed Fu Yanqing for more than ten years in the army, its combat effectiveness will not be inferior by half.
Not to mention the Guards and Military Division and the Royal Camp Division, the Palace Front Division may not be his opponent.
But the real trump card in Fu Yanqing's hand is his tooth soldiers and tooth generals.
The biggest maladministration of the Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms was the support of every military envoy.
Especially since the predecessor of Tianxiong Army was the famous Wei Bojun.
Youdao said that "the emperor of Chang'an, Wei Boya's soldiers", Wei Boya's army was famous for its strength and rebelliousness, and it became a habit for Ya's soldiers to abolish and establish Jiedu envoys at will.
If it weren't for someone like Fu Yanqing, how could ordinary people be able to control him?
"Get down!"
Seeing that Tianxiong's army was nearby, Luo Youdu got down from the city tower and waited at the city gate.
Fu Zhaoxin's figure appeared in front of him, and Luo Youdu immediately attracted his eyes to the heavy armored cavalry beside Fu Zhaoxin.
Heavy cavalry!
This is one of the biggest killer weapons in the cold weapon era.
Luo Youdu felt a little unbalanced in his heart. His old father-in-law was too stingy. He didn't even send any dowry for such a thing.
In addition to six large items and seven small items, there are thousands of dollars, more than a dozen carts of silk brocade, and hundreds of horses...
This heavy cavalryman is not willing to give it away?
"Deploy everything you see!"
Fu Zhaoxin dismounted, walked a hundred steps, and saluted solemnly.
"As a family, my wife and brother don't have to be like this." Luo Youdu smiled and stepped forward: "I heard that on the way here, we encountered a Khitan parade? It's okay!"
Fu Zhaoxin said lightly: "It's just a little thief, not worth mentioning."
After exchanging a few words, Luo Youdu saw Guo Tun behind Fu Zhaoxin. There was still blood stains on the horsetail in his hand.
"General Guo Ya, we meet again!"
Guo Dun responded calmly: "Everyone has a good memory. It's just a one-time encounter, so I'll remember it."
Luo Youdu said: "That's natural. I always remember very clearly those who have the ability."
Fu Zhaoxin's mind suddenly flashed back to his unreliable father's words before he left: "When we go on an expedition, we must not only kiss Luo Boy, but also guard against Luo Boy. That guy is very versatile, and you can learn a lot from him."
Something. But don’t let him lie to you.”
"He looks kind and righteous, but inside he is a wolf that spits out flesh and blood. He seems generous and knows how to share, but he has taken all the real benefits. My soldiers and generals have worked hard for decades and spent a lot of money to feed them.
We can't let him pry it away..."
Fu Zhaoxin secretly sighed, "Dad's vision is amazing!"
Fu Zhaoxin immediately said: "My father is old and is afraid that he will not be able to endure the war. When the official orders him, he immediately sends the general to the north. From now on, I am willing to listen to the orders."
Luo Youdu withdrew his gaze and said: "It's been a hard journey. I've prepared a banquet in the city. The war is not serious. I can have a few drinks in my spare time!"
Luo Youdu poured Fu Zhaoxin several glasses of wine and casually asked about the situation of the heavy cavalry: "I saw that there was a cavalry in the Tianxiong army with both men and horses, and I was envious of it. But I don't know how you got such a majestic cavalry?"
"
Fu Zhaoxin said, "I have really made up my mind," and said without any concealment: "The armored cavalry is different from the ordinary cavalry. It is very good to charge into the formation, but it is too affected by the terrain. And ordinary people often have horses, and it is difficult to ride and kill with heavy armor for a long time. Therefore,
Every knight is a ten-year-old pawn selected by the general, and every war horse is a high-quality horse. The cost is too high and it is not practical. It is more like a toy made by my father out of boredom."
His original intention was to say that every armored cavalryman was Fu Yanqing's hard work, and the riders were all veterans who had been with Fu Yanqing for ten years.
Don't hit them. Be careful.
When Luo Youdu heard it, he had another meaning.
It turns out that it cannot be copied. This cannot be copied. It can only be pried.
The guests and hosts ended today's small gathering happily.
Luo Youdu asked people to lead Fu Zhaoxin to the garrison in the city, and at the same time emphasized military discipline to him.
The discipline of the Forbidden Army has improved a lot since the white-armored soldiers were disgraced during the Battle of Huainan.
However, local armies can still be arrogant, especially old soldiers like the Tianxiong Army who are used to being domineering.
Fu Zhaoxin said with a smile: "My father said it himself, he has always been a man who helps his relatives but not others. He is his son-in-law in every deployment. No matter what happens, he will definitely stand by his son-in-law. With his words, everyone in the Tianxiong Army will be in trouble."
Dare to be presumptuous."
Luo Youdu felt relieved after hearing this.
Returning to the Youzhou Office, I looked through the battle reports of the past few days to see if there were any fighters that could be used.
Although they had gained a considerable advantage in this series of tentative battles, it would not be a problem if things continued like this.
We have to find an opportunity to have a good fight and really consume their troops.
"Everyone is deployed. Quan Xu is outside the government office and wants to see you!"
Luo Youdu suddenly heard the news that Quan Xu asked for a meeting.
"oops"
As soon as he slapped his forehead, he remembered what he had ignored.
It’s been eight or nine days.
Guo Rong suddenly fell ill and withdrew his troops. He took charge of the army for the first time and turned from defense to offense, completely forgetting about Xiao Hunian.
This delicate and expensive girl has been left alone in a dirty prison for almost half a month.
Walking quickly outside the house, Luo Youdu said: "But what about Mrs. Xiao?"
Quan Xu said: "The news just came from the prison that Mrs. Xiao fell ill and asked me if I would like to call a doctor?"
