When Luo Youdu woke up, he looked at Xiao Hunian, who was wrapped around him by the octopus next to him. The corner of his mouth curled up slightly. He originally thought about taking off his shirt with the general when he returned from victory.
Now they just skip the process and fast forward to the last step.
Thinking about the madness last night, I have to say that prairie women are really unrestrained in this regard.
This was the first time that Xiao Hunian vented his longing, and suppressed it under his body several times with automatic force.
Fortunately, Luo Youdu has been on the battlefield for a long time, otherwise there is still the danger of being killed by a newbie and losing his armor.
Just as he was sighing with emotion, he saw that the beauty in his arms had woken up and was looking at him faintly, with a little reluctance in his eyes.
Luo Youdu thought that the female general in his arms was about to go to the battlefield, so he gave up his morning jog with a sense of resignation...
Rarely staying in bed, Luo Youdu had breakfast and went to the war conference room of Youzhou Palace.
This combat conference room was specially arranged by Luo Youdu. In the middle was the conference hall for discussing military situation. On the left was a huge topographic map. The topographic map mainly focused on the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, Monan, Mobei and the entire Khitan.
On the right is a huge battlefield sandbox.
The battlefield sand table is actually not a rare thing. During the Han Dynasty, General Fubo Ma Yuan used rice to make valleys and draw mountains and rivers in order to reassure Liu Xiu and other soldiers. The prototype of the battlefield sand table appeared.
However, later people found it troublesome and carelessly paid attention to it. Occasionally enabling it was done hastily, and the real magical effect of the battlefield sandbox was not fully utilized.
Luo Youdu was good at military affairs and knew the importance of an accurate map. After taking the throne, he specially recruited painters to survey the terrain and draw maps. He also trained some talents who were good at stacking battlefield sandboxes to reduce the battlefield terrain to the sandbox.
He arrived near the battlefield sand table, and looking at the huge sand table, the entire Monan terrain came into view.
Luo Youdu looked at the two red flags near Zhangjiakou, pulled them up with clips, and pushed a hundred miles north to resist the Mongolian threat.
He looked at the flags with Cao and Pan in his hand, thought for a while, took out the red flag with Pan and planted it on Yuguan Pass.
The red flag with the character Pan naturally represents Pan Mei.
Pan Mei had once attacked Lingnan and had rich experience in mountain warfare. Taking Liaodong from Yuguan, the terrain along the way was complex and dangerous, so it was just right for Pan Mei to lead the attack.
Then he moved his Chinese army from Gubeikou of Youzhou to Xinghua County, and stopped at the lower reaches of the Liu River west of Xinghua County.
This place was called Western Liaoning in ancient times and later called Chengde, which is where the Summer Resort is located. During the Spring and Autumn Period, the Yan Kingdom built the Great Wall here, but it has long been abandoned.
Western Liaoning is well connected in all directions, so it can support Xiao Hu's troops, and it can also go directly to Liaodong to support Pan Mei, and it can also confront the main Khitan force in Dading Prefecture.
If Youzhou is the rear base camp, then Xinghua in western Liaoning will be the frontline base camp.
The remaining red flag with the character Cao, which represents Cao Bin, has no choice...
He inserted Cao Bin's troops on the left wing of the Chinese army...
The Khitan's cavalry army dominates the world, and its best tactic is to attack and encircle the rear.
Cao Bin's troops are mainly cavalry, and the best way to fight against cavalry is to use cavalry to defeat cavalry.
His purpose was either to attack in a roundabout way or to protect the central army.
If nothing else, Luo Youdu set his sights on the area between Xinghua County and Dading Prefecture, Zezhou, Shenshan, Songtingguan, and Songziling, which will be the main battlefield in the future.
He deduced the direction of the situation in his mind, and everything was as he expected. He successfully lured the Khitan army to Monan, where they would have a showdown on the grassland and Gobi.
"Your Majesty, King Wei has arrived!"
Luo Youdu couldn't help but deduce the battle situation in his mind, and suddenly received a notification from the guard.
Luo Youdu put down the red flag in his hand and strode outside the palace to greet him personally.
He called Fu Yanqing here. Having an old man in the family is like having a treasure.
Fu Yanqing is no longer suitable to command an army. He is the king of Wei and is a relative of the state. It is not good to add power to his army.
However, Luo Youdu still invited him to serve as a military adviser and give him advice.
Fu Yanqing has rich experience in fighting the Khitans, so it would be of great benefit to have him by your side to listen to his opinions.
Fu Yanqing has stopped doing things these years. He walks his eagle and dogs and runs horses every day, just like a boy with an eagle and a dog.
Seeing Luo Youdu coming out in person, Fu Yanqing was a little flattered and hurriedly saluted.
"King Wei, it's been a hard journey!"
Luo Youdu glanced at Guo Tun behind him and saw him bowing in salute. He nodded slightly and pulled Fu Yanqing into the room, walked to the combat conference room, and brought him to the sand table to discuss the military situation with him.
Fu Yanqing has been fighting for a lifetime. When it comes to experience, Luo Youdu, a veteran who has experienced many battles, is considered a rookie in front of him. In addition, Fu Yanqing has been dealing with the Khitan all his life, and his knowledge of the Khitan is far better than him.
Many pertinent opinions.
Fu Yanqing said: "The East Khitan seems to be prosperous now, but it is like a young man who is full of vigor. Yelvxiu brother and Yelu Xiezhen are nothing to be afraid of. Compared with us in our prime, we are still slightly inferior. The only thing to worry about is
Only the old man Yelv Housezhi..."
He was used to swearing, and was about to say "old beast", but he glanced at Luo Youdu and changed his words: "The older you get, the more evil you become. You are good at planning ahead, so you should not underestimate him."
Luo Youdu nodded and said: "What King Wei is saying is that Yelu House has taken action several times, which has left us in a state of distress. Without him in the East Khitan, Yelu Bishe may not be able to suppress the conflicts between the old and the new."
Fu Yanqing said: "Your Majesty started from Japan and Goryeo, forcing the Eastern Khitan to give up defense and take the initiative to attack. This move is indeed wonderful. I have been fighting for my whole life, but I can't catch up with it. However, the opponent has been preparing for so many years. If there is no trump card to defeat the enemy, I will
Don’t believe it.”
Luo Youdu couldn't help but nodded and stroked his beard gently. He also felt that Fu Yanqing's words made sense.
In the past few years, the Eastern Khitans of the Central Plains have become like the Bald Eagle and the Woolly Bear during the Cold War. They have been working hard to develop their military, as if they were in an arms race.
For this reason, the rapid development of iron-making technology in the Central Plains resulted in overcapacity, and various ironware such as iron pots became popular among the people.
The East Khitans were not that exaggerated, but when they took over the Central Plains, they brought all kinds of craftsmen and technical drawings from the Central Plains back to the Khitan, and they had already mastered the Central Plains smelting technology in the mid-Five Dynasties and Ten Kingdoms and the armor-making technology of the Tang Dynasty.
In recent years, the Khitan has added a heavy armored cavalry called the Iron Forest Army. It turns out that the Metro Harrier Cavalry has also been expanded, and even an additional armored infantry has been added.
The Khitans also used infantry.
Apparently they have realized that in many cases, infantry can do things that cavalry cannot.
In the Battle of Sanggan River, Zhang Qiong, Dang Jin's cavalry and Liu Fu's infantry cooperated with each other in fighting style, which taught them a lesson.
For this reason, the Khitans have also refined their tactics over the years.
Luo Youdu found out all this through various means.
It is enough to show that the Eastern Khitan prepared for today's battle a long time ago.
However, these advances are due to the pressure from the Central Plains, which stimulates the country's potential. The technology tree obtained as a result should not be considered a trump card, right?
Luo Youdu fell into deep thought and had no idea for a while. He asked, "Does the King of Wei have any ideas?"
Fu Yanqing shook his head and said, "No, I just think it's possible. That old guy may not have any trump cards. Just be careful and don't go into details."
Luo Youdu suddenly thought of Li Xunhuan in Gu Long. Shangguan Jinhong's strength crushed Xiao Li Tanhua. He could obviously kill Li Xunhuan, but he just wanted to test whether he could catch Xiao Li's flying knife, and then exposed his flaw... and ended up receiving a box lunch.
Thinking of this, he clasped his hands together and said: "It makes sense. Any trump card that can be used must have given the other party an opportunity to take advantage of it due to one's own fault. As long as we don't give the other party a chance, no matter how powerful the opponent's trump card is, so what?"
Luo Youdu has understood the essence of the art of war, which is to first establish yourself in an invincible position and then defeat the enemy.
Try everything.
Luo Youdu thought for a while and called out: "Go and call Guo Tingwei."
"His Majesty!"
No
After a while, Guo Tingwei walked into the hall.
Luo Youdu pointed at Guo Tingwei and introduced to Fu Yanqing: "This is Guo Tingwei, my favorite general and the commander of the Imperial Army's Xiongwu Army. He is both wise and courageous, and has the style of his ancestor Guo Linggong."
Then he said to Guo Ting: "This King of Wei is my Mount Tai. His name needs no introduction. The Khitan trembled and shouted, 'King Fu,' after hearing this."
After a simple introduction, both of them felt very comfortable.
Guo Tingwei hurriedly saluted and said hello.
Guo Tingwei's status was far inferior to that of Fu Yanqing, but after hearing that he was Guo Ziyi, he couldn't help but return the greeting solemnly.
Looking at Guo Tingwei, Luo Youdu asked: "You have been waiting for a battle for a long time."
Guo Tingwei was not an old man who belonged to the Imperial Camp Division like Pan Mei and Chang Side. But he, Shu Yuan, and Lin Renzhao, the three surrendered generals of the Southern Tang Dynasty, were the first to stand on his side, together with the Palace Division Division and the Imperial Guards.
The juxtaposition of the divisions supported the three divisions of the Imperial Guard.
Luo Youdu has the same expectations for them.
Guo Ting said: "It is the long-cherished wish of the general to be able to contribute to the expansion of territory for the imperial court."
Luo Youdu smiled and nodded, then paused and said, "But now I need one person to guard Youzhou, and I can't think of a second person more suitable than you."
Guo Ting said: "Your Majesty, don't worry. I will guarantee that the city will survive and the people will survive. Even if the people die, the city will still exist."
"Okay!" Luo Youdu patted Guo Tingwei on the shoulder and said, "You sacrifice this time, and I will double the compensation next time."
In his early years, compared to generals like Guo Tingwei who were both wise and brave but had little character, he preferred generals like Shu Yuan who had obvious personalities and dared to fight and attack.
But after being the emperor for a long time, I realized that a general like Guo Tingwei who was capable, had a good temper, was respectful and prudent, did not fight or rob, and did whatever he was asked to do was the real treasure.
**********
Dadingfu!
The emperor of the Eastern Khitan was hosting the Mongolian envoy Hu Ming with a banquet of the highest standard.
Hu Ming looked at the Khitan senior officials accompanying him from all directions and sighed in his heart, this is the real way of hospitality.
With the petty spirit of Zhongyuan, even if you don’t lose, you will have trouble.
After Hu Ming returned to Mongolia, he couldn't help telling the Wu family beggar what he had seen and heard in Youzhou with added jealousy.
Wu's Qier was full of confidence in forming an alliance with the Central Plains. He always believed that both sides would get what they needed and the alliance would be successful.
Who would have thought that the Central Plains would not give him the face of the Mongolian king, and little Monan was not willing to give it.
Is it possible that I have to work for free?
Wu's beggar became more and more angry as he thought about it, and Bo Duancha'er saw this and fanned the flames, which directly contributed to the alliance between Mongolia and the Eastern Khitan.
Wu's beggar asked Hu Ming to go to Dading Mansion again.
Hu Ming is a descendant of the Xi clan, his family was slaughtered by the Khitans, and he has no good impression of the Khitans.
But Yelv Bishe was so enthusiastic about his arrival that he not only asked Yu Yue Yelu House to personally welcome him, but also personally held a banquet for the company of prominent Khitan people.
Thinking that he will be Wang Meng of Mongolia, how can he ignore the national plan for a small grudge?
He immediately dropped everything and had a drink with all his enemies.
After the banquet was over, Yelv Bishe left Hu Ming alone, as well as the two core figures of the Khitan, Yelu Wuzhi and Han Derang.
The war was about to begin, and the two sides did not compete for petty gains, and quickly reached an agreement.
If this battle is won, the two families will divide Yunjiuzhou between them.
But if they win a big victory and break into the Yanshan defense line, then the seven states of Yan will return to the Khitan in the east, and the nine states of Yun will return to Mongolia.
Hu Ming said: "There is one more thing that my master hopes your majesty will grant."
Yelu Bishe said, "It doesn't matter if you just tell me."
Hu Mingdao said, "Concerning the matter of King Taiping, King Taiping and my master have agreed with each other. The friendship between the two is as high as the mountains and the sea. My lord hopes that your majesty will not punish him."
Yelu Bishe said sadly: "Prince Taiping and I are also brothers. It is only because he fell into the trap of the Central Plains and misunderstood me deeply that we are here today. As long as Prince Taiping does not cause trouble with the court in the future, I am willing to get back on good terms with him."
"
Hu Ming was overjoyed and said, "This couldn't be better."
Hu Ming said goodbye and left with satisfaction.
Yelv Bishe directly asked Handerang to be responsible for seeing him off.
Yelv Bishe looked at Hu Ming's retreating figure and slumped down on his chair. Ever since he learned that the Wu clan's beggar sent an envoy to discuss an alliance with the Central Plains, he had trouble sleeping and eating.
It was not until today that the alliance was confirmed, and he felt relieved and said: "Zu Bu's ambitions are not small. Listening to their tone, they still want to seize Yunjiuzhou and then rush into Taiyuan from Yanmen Pass to capture Shanxi? It's really a fool's errand..."
His tone was somewhat mocking.
It is impossible for him to make Mongolia big.
If we lose this battle, there will naturally be nothing to say, but we are really going to win.
It is impossible for the Central Plains to make another Northern Expedition in the short term. By then, Uliangha of Beduanchaer will let Mongolia know what evil people's hearts are.
If Bo Duan Cha'er only wants Mobei, Yelu Bi will take care of it and is willing to give it to him, but Wu's beggar covets Monan, which is absolutely impossible.
At this time, Yelu Wuzhi took out a piece of information from his arms and said: "Your Majesty, I just received the news at the banquet. The Southern Dynasty has left Gubeikou and is heading towards Bei'an Prefecture."
Yelu Bishoot looked solemn and said, "We're finally here."
Yelu Wuzhi nodded silently and said, "Yang Ye has appeared near the sacred mountain. This man comes and goes like the wind, and is extremely brave. He is already exploring the way to the Southern Dynasty."
Yelv Bishe said proudly: "He has Yang Ye, and I also have Yelu Xiezhen. Why should we 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 start?"
