Chapter 103 Golden Sword Yang Invincible

As the founding emperor, Luo Youdu's prestige in the hearts of the civil and military ministers was unquestionable.

Very few people would openly oppose his decisions.

Seeing that he had made up his mind, no one said anything more.

However, it seems that the officials who are unwilling to move the capital have no intention of giving up and are preparing to take a roundabout way and find other ways.

After all, Luoyang was affected by the war and many places were in ruins.

Nowadays, most of the people in Luoyang are concentrated in the east city of the past, leaving the remaining land desolate and overgrown with weeds.

Luoyang Palace has also been in disrepair for a long time due to being uninhabited and needs to be renovated or even rebuilt.

For example, the landmark building Mingtang of Luoyang Palace was demolished when the Khitan army invaded.

The Mingtang is the main hall of the imperial palace and is indispensable.

If we really want to move the capital, we can build other things slowly. This Mingtang Palace is a must.

It's not just a matter of time, just move the capital if you say it is, or you can move it immediately.

Luo Youdu obviously did not give much room for maneuver on this matter, and he neatly arranged for Xiang Xun, Wang Rengui and Wu Tingzuo who stayed in Luoyang to take charge of the task of repairing Luoyang.

Kaifeng's geographical location is suitable for economic development, but it still lacks the taste of a national capital.

If the economic center of gravity at this time was not in the Central Plains in Jiangnan, Luo Youdu would have thought of setting the capital in Youzhou.

After all, judging from the trajectory of history, the greatest enemies in the future will be in the north.

It is easier to intimidate the Northland by making Youzhou the capital.

However, we can only think about it. There is a lot of resistance to moving the capital to Luoyang, but moving the capital to Youzhou is impossible.

The Phoenix came out of Luoyang, covering Luoyang with a mysterious veil, and also put the matter of moving the capital to Luoyang on the agenda.

After going to court, Luo Youdu specially invited Zhao Pu to Wende Hall, praised him a lot, and even stayed for a meal.

Zhao Pu was extremely moved and looked like he was willing to do everything for His Majesty. He thought to himself: "Boy Lu, it's still early to replace your father Zhao."

The number one licking dog and the number two licking dog are ultimately incompatible.

While reviewing the memorial, Luo Youdu also received the first detailed information from Goryeo.

The information is written in detail, describing both the internal and external conditions of Goryeo.

These include the Khitan's withdrawal of troops from the Goryeo border and the controversial Tsushima incident.

Luo Youdu did not know the history of the Japanese country, so he did not know about the incident of Daoyi's invasion.

We don't know that the culprit of Daoyi's invasion is the Jurchens, so we can't directly judge that the incident was done by the Jurchens.

However, looking at Goryeo's attitude towards Japan in the letter, I can't help but be surprised. Is this stick floating? Do you remember to eat or not to fight?

It is true that the Japanese country may not be strong, but with their mean temper, who wouldn't dare to fight if someone gets the upper hand?

You won't know how high the sky is until you get a beating.

Goryeo now has strong enemies outside, so there is no need to provoke Japan, right?

Luo Youdu had a bad premonition. Goryeo, who was too arrogant, underestimated the Japanese country, and there was no chance that something would happen.

Now that something happens in Haidong, the Khitan will benefit.

Luo Youdu pondered for a while and wrote a letter for Wu Desi to pass to Yi Shenzheng, asking him to pay attention to the alliance between Khitan and Japan.

After sending the letter, Luo Youdu no longer thought much about Haidong.

The state affairs of Goryeo were beyond his reach.

If we really want to give it to the Khitan, if the Japanese country suddenly breaks out, it will be easy. At worst, the two of them will deal with it together.

I immediately went to the island for a walk. Not to mention that the island is not big, but the resources are pretty good.

Especially the output of gold and silver, the world-famous Iwami Silver Mountain, once produced about one-third of the world's output.

Of course, these are all rumors on the Internet, and Luo Youdu himself doesn’t know whether they are true or false.

Now that this is said, it shouldn't be much less.

Luo Youdu casually turned over the Privy Council Memorial on the table, and his eyes lit up. It was the battle report about Yang Ye.

Since the split of Khitan, the exchanges between Hedong and Yunzhong have deepened.

The military stronghold of Yanmen Pass has no place for the time being, and it would be unfair to let a wise and brave general like Yang Ye garrison it.

Luo Youdu thought of the famous Jingsai Army in history.

Historically, Zhao Kuangyi suffered a heavy loss in the Gaoliang River. He was deeply aware of the importance of cavalry and personally supervised the construction of the strongest cavalry force in the Northern Song Dynasty. The number was not large. In previous battles against the Khitan, he was never defeated and repeatedly defeated the strongest Khitan force.

The ace army is the Tielin Army.

The main sources of troops for the Jingsai Army came from Daizhou and Yizhou in the north.

Therefore, Luo Youdu promoted Yang Ye and ordered him to choose heroes from Yan and Zhao to form a static army to enhance the military strength on the border.

He also specially allocated the armor prepared for the Royal Camp Division to equip the Jingsai Army.

There were many frictions between the Khitan and Yelu Dilie, and there were many large and small battles.

Yang Ye also sent troops to Yanmen Pass many times to help Yelu Dilie fight against the Khitan.

Yang Ye's talent was fully demonstrated in these battles.

Yang Ye is not suitable for commanding an army. He is good at finding the enemy's weaknesses, and is good at running around and attacking like the wind. Give him an elite team and let him perform on his own. He will attack the enemy's weak points ruthlessly when they are weakest.

Insert a knife.

The well-equipped Jingsai Army achieved great success in his hands.

Even Brother Yelvxiu of Khitan had a big headache for him.

They set up ambushes many times to capture and kill Yang Ye, but Yang Ye escaped every time.

During the years of entanglement between Yang Ye and Hou Zhou, he had perfected the method of advancing and retreating the cavalry.

Extremely brave, able to come and go with ease, using fewer strikes to kill more enemy generals, in just over half a year he gained the reputation of being the boss, and completely established Yang Wudi's reputation.

Liu Wudi back then was called Liu Wudi by the Northern Han people themselves.

But the current Yang Wudi is called by the Khitan people.

However, it was not the Khitan troops that Yelvbi captured, but the Khitan friendly forces.

Yang Ye helped them defeat the enemy and left a huge prestige in their hearts.

At least among Yelu Dilie's army, no one was as brave as Yang Ye, nor was he as flexible in using troops.

The ubiquitous Yang Ye has become Brother Yeluxiu's biggest headache.

Seeing the battle report coming from the north, Luo Youdu couldn't help but shout "Hello".

Brother Yelvxiu has been harassed by Yang Ye many times. This time he marched with troops and set up defenses everywhere.

As a famous general who is hard to find in Khitan for a century, he has gradually grown up despite repeated losses.

Yang Ye couldn't find a flaw for a while, so he simply returned to Yanmen Pass. Instead of walking through the clouds, he crossed the Taihang Mountains to Youzhou, and rushed into the grassland from Gubeikou to harass Brother Yelvxiu's rear.

Brother Yelvxiu really didn't expect that this move would be beyond the reach of Yang Ye who was hundreds of miles away.

Yang Ye destroyed Brother Yelvxiu's grain team in one fell swoop, annihilated a small migrating tribe while patrolling the enemy, robbed 150,000 cattle and sheep, and returned to Youzhou in a grand manner.

"How magnificent! What a golden sword Yang Wudi!"

Luo Youdu laughed. Yang Ye's military style was destined to make him unable to be the commander-in-chief, but given him an elite team, he could do things that even the commander-in-chief of a large army could not do.

"Come here and make a fine golden sword for my general."
