Chapter 57: The Quest is in Progress

The Gola army was stationed at the border between Anxin County and Rus, and Marshal Yi Yu looked at the information collected by Jinyiwei on Rus.

According to the intelligence, there were eight great chiefdoms in the Rus' region. Pskov, Novgorod, Belozersk, Yaroslavl, Vladimir, Rostov, Moscow and Tver.

The four great chiefdoms of Novgorod, Belozersk, Yaroslavl and Rostov were ruled by the Rurik family, and the capital of the Rurik dynasty was established in the city of Novgorod in the Novgorod Grand Chiefdom.

And the great chieftain of the Great Chiefdom of Pskov was named Svyatogo. The ruler of the two great chiefdoms of Slovinsky, Tevez and Moscow was named Savoronok. Vyatić, the Great Chieftains of Vladimir were replaced by Goya. In the hands of Vladimir.

After reading the information of Rus, Yi Yu immediately called the four generals in, and Yi Yu handed the information to the generals to see.

After the generals finished reading, Yi Yu opened his mouth and asked:

"Generals, how do you say we should fight this battle? Where do you start? ”

The four generals glanced at each other, and the general of Zhengdong, Meng Shixin, was the first to stand up and say:

"Marshal, I think we can settle the Rurik dynasty first, and then go south to take the other big chiefdoms."

Zhao Yuanan, the general of the expedition to the north, shook his head and said:

"General Zhengdong disagreed, and the marshal thought that we should first pinch the soft persimmons, and then send troops to attack the Rurik family. The Rurik family is a regional power at any rate, and we should settle it finally. ”

Yi Yu frowned and walked around thinking about it, then looked at General Luo Qi and asked:

"General Anxin, this marshal remembers that you are a Rus, right? I would like to ask you to tell me what you think!! ”

Anxin General Roach stood up and clenched his fists and said:

"Dashuai, I was indeed a Russ at the beginning, but now I am a Chinese. If the commander asks me how to fight, I think we can divide our forces and destroy the small big chiefdoms one by one, and then gather in Novgorod to fight the Rurik dynasty!! ”

Yi Yu looked at Qi En, the general of Qi Xin, and asked:

"Divide the troops, General Qixin, this commander remembers that you Apazi people are naturally good at dividing troops, you can tell me your opinion."

General Qi Xin shook his head and said:

"Marshal, the last general's Apazi people are indeed good at dividing their forces to fight, but our division tactics are only used when fighting on the grasslands. We Apazis are not very proficient in this kind of siege warfare. ”

In the military tent, each of the four generals has their own opinions. And everyone has a point. But Yi Yu is Yi Yu after all, he already has an idea in his heart, and he thinks about how to arrange the task specifically.

Yi Yu arranged for General Qixin to lead his Qixin army beyond the territory of the Rurik family and go to the farthest Great Chiefdom of Vladimir. Be sure to take it and then use Vladimir as a springboard to attack Savoronok. Moscow occupied by Vyatich.

Then he ordered the general to lead his army to capture Pskov by water, then follow the Volkhov River to the Svili River east of Lake Ladora, and then go around to the Volga River to capture Savoronok. The Great Chiefdom of Tver occupied by Vyatic.

So Savo Ronock. Vyatich will face the 40,000 sailors of the Northern Army to the west, and the 25,000 elites of the Qixin Army to the east.

In the end, Yi Yu and the general Meng Shixin and the Anxin general Luo Qi led the remaining 60,000 cavalry and 25,000 Anxin troops to attack the four great chiefdoms ruled by the Rurik Dynasty.

Yi Yu asked after arranging:

"What do the generals think of this arrangement!?"

The others said yes, and the general of Zhengdong, Meng Lionheart, stood up and asked:

"Marshal, why didn't the matter of the surprise attack on Vladimir be handed over to the Eastern Iron Cavalry under my command? I asked myself if my Eastern Iron Cavalry was an elite division, not to mention that it was more powerful than General Qixin's Apazzi cavalry, at least it was about the same. ”

Yi Yu looked at Meng Shixin and said lightly:

"General Meng, the Iron Cavalry under your command is indeed an elite division, but I want to ask you, how can you lead 60,000 cavalry to Vladimir, the easternmost part of the Rus region, without realizing it?"

Meng Shixin hesitated and said:

"This, this, I can clean up the people who saw our expedition to the East."

Yi Yu pointed at the dream lion heart and shouted:

"What the hell, General Zhengdong, have you forgotten the king's explanation to us? The king said that if you can surrender, you will try to surrender, and you will kill those who have seen you, how can you let me explain to the king? ”

Yi Yu went on to say:

"And General Zhengdong, you don't know, General Qixin's cavalry under his command is the field cavalry, they know how to hide their tracks, and they know much more about how to take the marching route than you."

Mengshi thought for a moment, it was true, he looked at Qi En, the general of Qixin, and apologized with his fists:

"General Qixin, what the marshal said is indeed the truth. The Eastern Iron Cavalry under my command is indeed inferior to you in field warfare. What I just said, please don't take it to heart. ”

Zien waved his hand and said:

"General Dream doesn't have to be like this, every army has its own strengths. Just like we, the Apazzi cavalry, can't crush and trample the enemy like your cavalry in the east. Our Apazzi cavalry can only shoot on horseback. ”

Yi Yu clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, four, don't flatter each other either. When the time comes, it's too late to brag about taking the whole territory of Rus. ”

Everyone laughed, and Yi Yu said solemnly:

"Then, General Qi Enben orders you to immediately lead the Qi Xin army to the Great Chiefdom of Vladimir."

General Qi Xin knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said:

"The last general commands!"

Yi Yu went on to say:

"General Zhao Yuan'an, this marshal orders you to lead the naval division under your command to attack Pskov immediately, and then go south to attack the Great Chiefdom of Tver."

Zhao Yuanan, the general of the expedition to the north, knelt down on one knee and clenched his fists and said:

"The last general obeys!!"

Then the two generals of Qixin and Zhengbei immediately left the big tent, gathered their soldiers and went to their destination.

After the two generals left, Yi Yu looked at General Luo Qi and asked jokingly:

"General Luo, how do you feel? Will you be nervous about participating in the first war of my China? ”

Anxin General Luo Qi said with a smile:

"Don't make fun of the general, to be honest, I don't know when I started to do things, and I slowly became cringe. The last general remembers that when I was young, I was also a person who dared to fight. ”

Yi Yu asked:

"And now? Dare to fight? ”

Anxin General Luo Qi looked at Yi Yu firmly and said:

"The last general dares to fight, and the last general is willing to go to the soup for the Chinese country, and he will not give up. The marshal and the general are not afraid of your jokes, when I first joined Huaxia, I hoped to be transferred to the mainland by the king. However, as the Anxin County under the rule of the last general became more and more prosperous, most of the people in Anxin County could fill their stomachs, and the last general suddenly discovered the goal I was fighting for, that is, I hoped to protect the people and my family, and my Anxin Army existed for protection. ”

Yi Yu looked at Luo Qi with a praising look and said:

"It seems that General Roach has really found your goal, I hope you can achieve your goal as soon as possible."

Luo Qi clenched his fists and thanked:

"Thank you, Marshal's blessing. The end will definitely be achieved. I hope that after a hundred years, the people of Anxin County will still remember me. ”

At this time, the general of Zhengdong, Meng Lionheart, stretched out his hand and patted Luo Qi's shoulder and said:

"Luo Gong, don't worry. You'll be able to make the people of Anxin County remember you. I remember that half a year ago, Anxin County was still very desolate, but today Anxin County is thriving. ”

Yi Yu clapped his hands and said:

"Alright, two, it's almost time for us to act."

The two generals clasped their fists and said:

"Yes, Marshal."

Yi Yu and the three of them set their sights on the territory of the Rurik Dynasty.

And the Grand Duke Rurik in the Novgorod castle did not know that Yi Yu had set their sights on his territory.
