Warrior in Turbulent Han Dynasty

"Yelujing, the lord of the Liao Dynasty, was assassinated!" Wei Renpu walked into the living room with an excited expression on his face, "Xiao Siwen joined forces with Yelu Xiezhen and other generals to support Yeluxian as emperor, and sent troops to Beijing!"

Guo Shao's so-called palace is a small courtyard of a wealthy family. There are two tea tables and a few chairs in the living room. He sat on the chair and was shocked to hear the news.

Although Youzhou was lost, it was expected that there might be problems in the Liao Kingdom, but it was too soon! An emperor dies as soon as he says he dies?

Guo Shao asked: "What did Xiao Siwen do?"

Wei Renpu said: "I don't know. It is rumored that the cook did it. The chief of the Liao Kingdom suspected that the cook was slow and wanted to kill him to vent his anger. Several servants and cooks were afraid of the brutal actions of the Lord of the Liao Dynasty. Frightened, they hacked the Lord of Liao to death with a kitchen knife!"

He said again in a deep voice: "Whether Xiao Siwen is instigating behind the scenes, there is no way of knowing at this time. Xiao Siwen will not admit it."

Guo Shao secretly sighed, although the Lord of Liao was not a hero, he was the emperor of a big country, and he died under the chef's kitchen knife!

Wei Renpu said: "After Xiao Siwen escaped from Youzhou, he quickly defended himself. He said that the Lord of Liao wanted to abandon Youzhou, and he just wanted to delay the time, which caused the Liao army in Youzhou to almost mutiny. Under the desperate situation, Xiao Siwen fought a decisive battle in the city, but he failed to win due to the disparity in strength... He did not run away, but was coerced by his generals."

After hearing this, Guo Shao was speechless, remembering that day when Xiao Siwen sent the letter of challenge...

It looks like a decisive battle, and many people can testify. But in fact, as soon as the east gate faced each other, Xiao Siwen broke through the west gate and ran faster than a rabbit!

Guo Shao originally thought that only Han officials in the Central Plains were good at this method, but now it seems that the Liao people are not bad, and black people can also be said to be white.

Wei Renpu presented a dossier transcribed in Chinese with both hands, and said: "Xiao Siwen has issued an appeal, which has been circulated around the world, accusing Yelujing, the lord of the Liao Dynasty, of fifty crimes! He said that Yelvjing is the most stupid, cruel, and promiscuous emperor in history. Even the ministers can't stand some words, such as eating human brains and babies, calling his maids to bed... Your Majesty forgives the crime, it is really insulting...

In this way, with such a monarch in the Liao Kingdom, how can it not be chaotic? Yelvjing is the culprit of everything! "

Guo Shao listened calmly while watching the call to action. He had never met Yelujing, and he didn't know the details of the Liao government in detail, so it was hard to be sure whether Yelujing was really that bad.

Based on his personal opinion, at least Yelvjing is not that stupid! Otherwise, in the chaos after Emperor Taizong of the Liao Dynasty, only Yelujing sat for the longest time! Sitting on that mess, being an emperor is not so easy. It is not easy for Yelvjing to be stable for so many years.

But one thing Guo Shao can be sure of: Xiao Siwen and Liao Kingdom need Yelujing to be as bad as Yelujing, the worse the better; otherwise, who will take the blame? Those who caused the chaos in the past have died long ago. It is not clear that they can only be counted on a failed emperor!

Wei Renpu continued: "Even Brother Yeluxiu was in bad luck. Brother Yeluxiu was famous in the Liao Kingdom and was known as the 'No. 1 Tiger General of the Liao Dynasty', but now he has become a traitor|sycophant who relies on the favor of the Lord of Liao.

After Brother Yeluxiu attracted the Zhou army, he showed his true colors. First he was incompetent and made no achievements, and then he reinforced Youzhou and used troops indiscriminately. He was the biggest sinner who caused Liao Kingdom to lose Youzhou! "

When Guo Shao heard this, he remembered Yeluxiu's flexible use of troops during the first Northern Expedition, and he naturally disagreed with Liao's conclusion.

He couldn't help sighing a little, but felt that many things were just floating clouds.

As for Xiao Siwen, Guo Shao thought he would die, and wondered how he could save his life... In the end, he did such a big job, and he really underestimated this person. The depth of the city's layout was completely beyond Guo Shao's expectations!

Now Guo Shao doesn't care about Liao's grievances, right or wrong, and sighs like being too cold at a high place. He said very directly: "Let all the ministers come to see, Liao has no time to look south at this time, let's immediately deploy to attack Yunzhou, Wuzhou, and Pingzhou!"

Guo Shao didn't even need to look at the map, he had already thought about these places in the north many times, and decided on a rough idea.

Yunzhou is Datong, which is the first entrance from the Mongolian Plateau to the Hedong region.

Wuzhou, which is Zhangjiakou, is also the second opening of the northern barrier of the Central Plains when viewed from west to east.

Pingzhou, the mouth of the Liaoxi Corridor, controls Yuguan, which is the fortress of Shanhaiguan, the first pass in the world, and the eastern important place of the northern defense line.

As long as Dazhou occupies these three states and controls the land south of the three states, the eastern half of the entire territory can form a thick and strong barrier with the terrain and the Great Wall! Advancing can be attacked, retreating can be defended; the first thing that all ethnic groups in the north face when they want to enter the Central Plains is the long and difficult road of copper and iron walls.

Most of the Youyun Sixteen States will also be included in the territory of the Great Zhou.

There is only one Yingzhou left, which is far away on the northeast edge of western Liaoning. Guo Shao does not want to rush to take over it for the time being. It involves a farther strategic direction, and the court has not yet made a decision...

There are two reasons not to rush. First, Yingzhou is a stronghold for the development of the Liaodong region, which is equivalent to the purpose of setting up four towns in the Western Regions in the Tang Dynasty, without affecting the complete defense line. Second, although that place belonged to the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty, it was only a stronghold and was lost later. For so many years, most of them were population activities of Khitan, Xi, Jurchen and other ethnic groups.

Not long after, the generals entered the living room one after another.

This house is really not a convenient place to work. The upper position is an incense table without a seat; Guo Shao sits on a chair on the upper left side.

Dong Zunhui came in first, and greeted Guo Shao with his hands clasped. Guo Shao said casually, "Sit if you have a chair."

Dong Zunhui took a look at the room and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, it's better for the last general to stand still."

Guo Shao noticed his gaze, and also glanced at the remaining chairs. Because he was sitting on the left, it was impossible for him to dare to sit on the two chairs opposite... on an equal footing with the emperor. There were only four chairs left, and when Li Chuyun and others came in together, it seemed that it would not be Dong Zunhui's turn.

Guo Shao said casually for a while, "General Dong is good at archery and leading troops. Being able to observe the surrounding environment keenly and make quick judgments is indeed a must-have quality for a good general."

Dong Zunhui was very happy to be praised, bowed his head and said: "I dare not, I dare not bear such praise from Your Majesty."

After a while Shi Yanchao came in, Zhili heard that he was given a seat, so he found a chair and sat down without saying a word.

Wei Renpu was busy arranging for someone to hang a suitable map on the wooden shelf in front of the incense table. \u003c
