When Dia Bird woke up, it was already afternoon.

Someone around him told him that he had sent an envoy to the north and worshiped at the King River. When he heard this, he could only sigh.

Zhao Guo tried to buy the enemy army, he was already not optimistic, although the situation in Dongxia was dangerous, but still had an advantage, it was still unknown, and Chen Guo was exhausted, compared with Chen Guo to open the conditions to the northerners, where could he drive it? As for worshiping Du Shuisheng, but because he has been making a mistake, now he has become the appointment and dismissal of the water god and river god, and I don't know what the local people think.

On the whole, he is more optimistic than Zhao Guo. The reason why he was willing to condone Zhao Guoxing's bribery was that he hoped to drag the northerners for a few days and encircle and annihilate Tuoba Heiyun, which was still a matter of time. The army that came from the Tuoba Khan's court, Diai Niao was not too worried, Wang He was in front of Lingwu as a moat, and for the Chen people who did not see big rivers and rivers, I am afraid that they would be cautious, and it would not be too much of a problem to delay for a day or two.

It's just that after such a battle, he always felt that his own planning was ineffective, and the casualties and losses would be much greater.

He walked into the base camp and found that the atmosphere was depressing, and when he asked, the people in the base camp also had the mentality of burning the enemy's jade, so he hurriedly comforted and exhorted a few words.

A counselor sent him a fake map that he had made for Di Heihu and Da Da Erhu, and asked him to see if it was suitable. He listened to the explanation, but he smiled and said, "Lingwu is not necessary to keep the enemy out and arrange a lot of chaotic army garrisons and troop deployments, right?" ”

The counselor said, "What does the king mean?" ”

Dia Bird thought for a moment and said softly: "Now that there are few spirit warriors, I will show that there are many spirit warriors, so that they don't dare to take advantage of the situation." Lingwu can only resist the enemy outward, don't give people a drawing of Lingwu to the east, look at it alone, draw a few formation diagrams, and use it as a field battle with the enemy city when the enemy comes. He lightly ticked a spot and said, "The traps that can be given to the enemy are limited to camping and fighting, so that the enemy cannot find a suitable camp site and puts on the wrong formation." When the drawings are sent, you can report to Marshal Zhao and ask him to make some arrangements to confuse the enemy and cooperate with you. ”

The counselor nodded.

Dia Bird drew on the blueprint and said, "The enemy will cross the river from the upper reaches and march along the inner side of the king's river. ”

The counselor was greatly excited, and hurriedly said: "What we lack in Dongxia is time, as long as it plays a role in delaying them, after we completely annihilate the enemy troops in their Gaonu area, we will be relieved, and none of us will be afraid." ”

Diao's blow said: "It is not known to whom your deception will be taken seriously by them, so do not expect too much from it. ”

He stayed in the base camp for a while, but he wanted to know when the people who worshiped Du Shuisheng would come back and what the results were, so he asked people to send some military literature to the backyard, so he went back and waited for people while reading.

At this time, he found several letters.

Xie Xianling wrote a letter from the country, Guo Jia also wrote a letter from Baolan, and several ministers wrote letters, which were opened one after another, and they were surprisingly consistent, all about Lingwu.

He knew what was going on even if he thought about it.

At the beginning of the western expedition, he had no idea of recruiting the whole country, as far as the old and young in the country were dispatched, as an army that rushed and had nothing to rely on, the western grassland set a restraint policy, but now the men in the country fought with the enemy, annihilated more than 300,000 enemies, captured Gaonu, Lingwu and other places, but could take away this piece of fat, and no longer return it to Jingkang, then destroy Liu Yu, occupy the rich Hetao, Dongxia has a different situation.

Xie Shilling wrote the most detailed, and in order to convince Dia Bird, he also used the phrase "the time has changed, the situation has come, and the strategy can also change".

Compared with Baisai and Mengyuan, the ministers paid more attention to the Hetao, and the 800-mile Hetao, if the water conservancy was unimpeded, it could be compared to the Jingkang Pass, which was of course.

Diao's bird fell into deep thought.

Before receiving these letters, he also thought about these questions, and the eight-hundred-mile loop was also a great temptation for him.

What about just after obtaining the 800-mile river loop?

As far as he knows, Jing Kang has the intention of going west to conquer the cotton, and he is ashamed of it, if he takes all the land from the river loop and does not return it, Jing Kang has a sharp blade hanging above his head, will he still be keen on the westward expedition?

Not necessarily, I'm afraid

Maybe it will become a thorn in their side, a thorn in the flesh, and cut off the reciprocal trade with Dongxia.

Diao thought about it for a while, and he was quite embarrassed.

He respected the king and won a huge reputation and interests, but for a while, he didn't dare to give up lightly, and he didn't know whether he was good or bad after giving up.

However, he knew that once the Central Plains interrupted trade, Dongxia would be in trouble, and if there were not enough troops, he might not be able to control the eight hundred miles of the river, and once he guarded a large number of troops, it was not a good thing...... I really want to eat it, and I'm afraid of getting my hands pinched. With at least one-third more land in Eastern Xia, who can not be tempted?

He let out a long sigh.

In the end, he decided to give up.

A large part of him, he does not want to give up his reputation, does not want to destroy his righteous act of sending troops, let Jingkang owe himself, a big debt, once Jingkang Hu comes in the future, there will always be people in the world who sympathize with him, and he resists, that is to use his own military exploits and selflessness as the basis for judging right and wrong. But in Lingwu and Gaonu, he will settle some troops before returning them to the imperial court, especially after Qilian Ruoshun raised troops, he can completely reclaim this area, before he intended to resettle these people to the north, but think about it, the Yong people re-homeland, Tuoba Weiwei let them move north, and they were tyrannical, if they did the same, they would inevitably be wary.

At the same time, he also has to complete the suppression of the big clans, clarify the land, select talents, even if it is returned to the imperial court, the local people still remember their own good, if the court sends mediocre officials in the future, these people will have a voice, let themselves come back.

Thinking of this, he really couldn't help it, and ridiculed himself in his mind and said, "A good name is harmful." Dia Bird. If you are too famous, you will cry one day. ”

That's true.

Dongxia gave up the Hetao, and he could go north to Baisai to operate, but where did he come from to guard? Will the people of Dongxia who are now living and working in peace and contentment move north? Who wants to?

Only Qi Lian brought tens of thousands of Yong people and moved them over before they had time to hesitate.

He wrote on the paper: "The fertile soil of injustice, though it is profitable, is not to steal it." But in recent years, the Northern Plain has faintly become the foundation of my Eastern Xia. Going north to the fierce plain is the great achievement of my Yongjia for thousands of years, and only by going north to the fierce plain can we completely sweep the grassland. ”

As for the troops who went north.

He also had a new idea, and slowly recorded: "Take the north town of the Yong people from the west who have no parents to care about, so that people can voluntarily pass on the affairs of my Yongjia family, so that it is a great merit to know that the wolf is a great achievement, but all the men of the Yong family, how can they not have this ambition?" Then it was recorded: "The Chen Guo's surrender was combined with Beitun, and the death of the Tuoba clan was revived, and it was punished." "But after calculating these future things, it comes back to reality.

At present, it is a difficult situation to solve, and if you don't win, you don't need to talk about it.

Suddenly, he had a crazy idea, Bao Lan lost it, and Lingwu lost it without fear, just gathered and annihilated the hundreds of thousands of troops of Tuoba Black Cloud.

But if you lose it, you haven't had time to gather and annihilate......

Just thinking about it, Xiang'er brought a cup of tea, spoke softly, and put it in front of him. He looked up and saw that it was Xiang'er, and he was very curious. He also saw it before, but there were many things in his heart, so he didn't specifically ask, so he said with a pleasant face: "Why don't you go to the river to see the excitement, and see if our family Ah Hu can worship on behalf of his father." If he makes a fool of himself, you can laugh at him in the future when he is triumphant. ”

Xiang'er said, "My mother won't let me go." ”

Dia Niao said curiously: "Why don't you let me go?" You can also take her with you, and see that she is weak, like she is sick, and it is good to walk more. ”

Xiang'er bowed and said, "Thank you, Your Majesty, for your concern." Lang Zhong has already treated my mother. My mother won't let me go, so how can she go? You don't know, King. My mother told me that Du Shuisheng was my grandfather, and if we went, maybe it would alert the bad guy of Master Yan and the bad king. ”

Dia Bird could hardly believe it, and blurted out to her, "What?" Xiang'er said, "I didn't know it before, I was still young at that time." Only my mother and my father knew, and they didn't dare to let others know, but now that my mother has sued me, I know. My father, a student of my grandfather, was an orphan, and my grandfather adopted him for his education, taught him to comb the river, and married my mother to him. My mother also said, for so many years, but my father has suffered, his skills are not under my grandfather, as long as I divorce my mother, the world is so big, you can let him come and go, glory and wealth, let him take it, but he endured humiliation, for our family, in order to see my mother's doctor, for Yan Rich Lord to see the canal, even can't eat. ”

Diao was a little excited, and repeated, "Your father is your grandfather's student?" He stood up suddenly, "Huo Huo" walked around, and asked Qian'er repeatedly: "The skill is not under your grandfather?" ”

He came out, took Xiang'er and walked out, and when he arrived at the door, he saw Xiang'er's mother, and threw away Xiang'er and bowed to her. Xiang'er's mother was still in a daze, looking at Xiang'er and wondering what was going on, Diao went straight to the courtyard and shouted, "Who is there?" Come. ”

One guard takes three steps and two steps to the front.

Diao's bird demanded, "Go." Point soldiers. Go with Lone to pick up people, and Lone wants to keep a legacy for the righteous. ”

The guard didn't know what was going on, and when he saw that he was in a hurry, he looked at the door and ran.

It just so happened that the counselor who had cheated on the map of the Ta Da Erhu in the base camp came again, probably after he reminded him that the work was simple and had been completed, and he came up with the map.

As soon as Dia Niao saw him, he said: "The matter of the map is a trivial matter, and if you can deceive people, you can't deceive people, and then think of a way, and his father can't stay with the rich man for a moment." ”

The counselor advised him: "The king is calm, send the map out, there may not be anything, this matter, Li Hu has been planning for many days." ”

Dia Bird was very excited, and said angrily: "He is plotting? What he planned as a child, if it is broken, it will be bad. Is it the attitude toward the descendants of the righteous? ”

He actually pulled the counselor's placket, dragged himself to his side, and said in a low voice: "In order to grab water, I killed forty people in the country, and some of these forty people have made great achievements, and some of them are still relatives of Ah Hu's mother, which is a thorn in the heart of loneliness. Lone had already sworn in his heart that he would not let the lack of water repeat itself in my Dongxia. It's not about deceiving one or two enemies, it's about being a great talent for the country, do you understand? ”

He lost the counselor and strode out.

Xiang'er's mother finally rushed to Xiang'er to know what was going on, and she also rushed up to stop him, and said loudly: "King." What are you doing here? As soon as you move, you will no longer be able to fool those traitors. ”

Dia Bird sighed and said: "Even if your husband is in danger, he will not be alone, you wait at home, and you will go to pick up your husband and reunite with you, and share the family from now on." ”

He walked out the door and shouted, "So slow to count troops? What are you eating? ”

The counselor also caught up with him again and reminded: "Your lord, you are not yet armoured, so you cannot go out." ”

Dia Bird smiled, "No. Lonely likes to hear great talents, how can he show people in military uniform? If the clothes look untidy, you can take a look at Gu Zhou. ”
