Chapter 444

The trees in the mountains are swaying in the wind, and the leaves of these trees are a little yellow, not to die, but to go from summer to winter solstice, these plants are about to end! Although thousands of plants are yellow, autumn is the harvest season.

And Zhao Xun also celebrated the full moon for his daughter in the mansion and named him Zhao Han. Compared with the joy of Zhao Xun's daughter on the full moon, the people under the rule of Quan Xiaoguo Army are the joy of harvest. Low taxes, or even tax exemption in some places, how can you not like it?

The long artemisia grass is waist-deep, and the broken leaves are somewhat withered yellow, and the leaves on the mountains on either side are mottled with yellow spots.

The leaves shook slightly, a dull brushing sound swept by, and the long artemisia grass seemed to be suddenly awakened, and flatteringly bent down its straight waist, expressing its respect to the wind messenger from afar!

Letting the wind sweep by, the humble Artemisia Grass lowered its posture to the lowest, and let the messenger stir his soft body, not daring to resist in the slightest. Although they don't know the meaning of the wood show in the forest, the wind will destroy it, but they also understand that if they don't lower their heads, they will break off their waists.

Ah, there is already a recalcitrant rebel who has become a role model for the other Artemisia, making the other Artemisia grass lower their heads and more flattering to express their submission and respect.

Satisfied, the wind swept across his territory, and Artemisia Grass's humble attitude was appreciated by Tempest, so Tempest gave the body of the rebel to Artemisia Grass. Of course, it is also accompanied by the dress on Artemisia grass, which flutters in the wind and rolls up into the sky.

Feeling this, the humble Artemisia Grass became more obedient, and almost her whole body was attached to the fertile land, her body undulating, letting the autumn wind blow off her dress, and letting herself stand naked in place.

After the storm passed, the dancing artemisia grass regained its calm, and as its movements gradually stopped, the artemisia grass, which had escaped the catastrophe, stepped on the familiar beat, and was about to enjoy this rare peace as usual, when a whistling sound quickly approached from afar!

Before the Artemisia could react to what had broken into their territory, a dull whistling sound sounded, followed by the sound of rapid footsteps coming from the Artemisia grass, and then several blurred figures hurried past the Artemisia grass. Let the artemisia grass, which had just escaped the catastrophe, be devastated again......

A hurried whistle sounded, and while Artemisia was still surprised by the figures, a group of haystacks rose from the ground. Then it jumped up rapidly, and pressed down the black shadow that set off the rapid past.

"Fifth Squad! You were ...... Captured! Pressing down on the figure below, the young man covered in weeds said in a rough manner.

"Six-squad? You guys, ambushed here? The black shadow that was suppressed by it was also a teenager. The young man, with his big bright eyes, looked at the person who raised the voice and asked.

"Yes! What do you think? Take it! ”

"If you don't accept it, if you don't fight with the eighth team and the ninth team once, it's up to you. Can you catch me? ”

…………

Zhao Xun stood on the top of the mountain, looking at the Young Guards training ground like a paddock below, Zhao Xun couldn't help but feel satisfied. Although the Young Guards were not as deterrent as the Young Guards, Zhao Xun still felt that the Young Guards were more suitable for them.

"My lord! Liaozhou Mansion sent back information! The three Khitan divisions also sent back battle reports. ”

"Back to the city!" Zhao Xun said in a deep voice. Riding his horse and whipping his whip, the knight of the white armor and white horse flew out with a flame.

"Keep training!" After a while, Zhao Xun's voice came from his mouth.

When Zhao Xun returned to the Metropolitan Governor's Mansion, the people from the Military Affairs Department, the Government Affairs Department, and the Shadow Department all gathered together.

"How's it going?" Seeing that everyone's faces were more solemn, Zhao Xun asked directly.

Zhao Hai of the Shadow Division took the lead and said: "Two pieces of news, one is about the Tatar people, and the other is about the Khitan battle situation. The Sumo Sect and the Liaodong Kingdom are related to the Heishui Sect in the northeast, and since we don't have the manpower to go deep into the interior, it's hard to figure out their intentions. On the Khitan side, General Li Huaiyuan was defeated in successive battles and retreated more than 100 miles, and the situation was not good. ”

Zhao Xun rubbed his eyebrows and said, "Black Water Spirit? Haven't they always been in the northeast, and they don't care about other tribes, so they are interested in blending in. By the way, you Shadow Division detectives, how deeply connected are they? ”

"The Su Mo Ya Department gave some of the purchased weapons and armor to the Black Water Ya, and in addition, the Su Mo Ya Department was slowly gathering together, not knowing what they wanted to do. The Black Water Warrior is also mobilizing its troops, but it has not yet moved. ”

"Could it be that the Su Mo Yan Ya Department has joined forces with the Black Water Yan Ya and wants to attack the Liaodong Kingdom?" The official of the Military Affairs Department said puzzled.

Situ Liang suddenly asked, "What is the situation in Liaodongguo?" How did they get in touch with the Black Water Turtle as well? ”

Zhao Hai smiled bitterly: "We don't have too many secret agents for the Black Water Turtle further north, and the Black Water Turtle people are also very closed, and there is less contact with outsiders. As for the situation of the black water deer, our investigation is really limited. It can only be obtained that the Liaodong Kingdom and the Sumo Sect have started contact with the Heishui Sect, and in addition, within the three departments, it seems that they are all beginning to hoard military supplies and mobilize troops. What the purpose is, it is still unknown. ”

"This black water deer must be dealt with, and even, directly exterminated!" Situ Liang said in a deep voice.

Zhao Xun also nodded and said: "I also see it this way, I'm afraid that we will be tricked by the Su Mo Yan and Liaodong Kingdom!" Zhao Hai immediately asked people to investigate the situation in the place where the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Yan tribe were fighting, and to find out what the casualties were. Secondly, use each other's identities to assassinate local generals and military officials, big aristocratic landlords and even people at the top of the army on a large scale. ”

"The lord is saying that the Black Water Sect is going to unite the other two and prepare for a counterattack?"

Situ Liang said with a smile: "Whether they join forces or not, whether they counterattack or not, is not the point now." Maybe they are hesitating, but their current situation, or rather, their existence, will bring great hidden dangers to the north of the Eastern Three Mansions. The Black Water Turtle occupies a large area, but it is the poorest part. Against them, our army does not have much difficulty. The Black Water Turtle is gone, and the Liaodong Kingdom and the Su Mo Turtle Department are surrounded by us on three sides. No, it should be said that it is surrounded on all sides. The Khitan is pacified, surrounded in the west, and the sea in the east, and our own naval army is dispatched. ”

"The question now is how to do something to the Black Water Piercing, and silently, so that they don't have time to react." Zhao Xun said in a deep voice.

"Now it seems that there can only be an attack from the east and west, and the sea on the east, but we have to spare the Silla Peninsula and then go north. But it would take several detours to get the soldiers safely there. In addition, logistical supply is also a problem, and if there is a storm, then sailing at sea is a problem. Furthermore...... If the war is unfavorable, or if the Su Mo Yan Sect also intervenes in time, and our army does not transport it in time, it will fall into the dilemma of being attacked from the north and south, and it will even be unable to evacuate safely. An official from the Department of Military Affairs said carefully.

In addition to several military envoys, the Department of Military Affairs also has a number of adjutants, who will study, handle, and analyze matters related to military affairs. And what this person said made Zhao Xun nod slightly.

Zhao Xun smiled: "Then in your opinion, what should I do?" ”

The young adjutant took a deep breath and said, "Attack on the west side, feint attack on the east side!" ”

"Attack on the west side, feint attack on the east side? Feint attack I understand, the sea ship can go north. Attacking on the western side, it is now the battlefield of the three Khitan divisions and the five northern divisions. When the army is dispatched, they will not pretend that they do not see it. ”

"Wouldn't it be better for General Li Huaiyuan to go directly eastward without us sending manpower. This is also what the lord and the lords mean. ”

"Hahaha! Li Jinqian, yes, the analysis is good, and he will learn from Situ Liang in the future. In view of the current situation, we have suspended the arms and armor trade with the Su Mo Jin and Liaodong Kingdoms to delay as much time as possible. In addition, let the garrisons of Liaozhou and Andong be prepared for prevention. Don't be afraid of 10,000, just in case. In addition, the newly incorporated territories and people were strictly controlled. If there is a change, there is no need to leave your hands. For those who have come to take refuge, they are directly separated and moved inward. Zhao Xun ordered in a deep voice.

"In this case, let's give Li Huaiyuan a secret order, let him defeat the Khitan Five Divisions, wave his army to the east, surrender to the Black Water Spirit, and let the Khitan army accompany him when the time comes." Zhao Xun wiped his nose and ordered in a deep voice.

"Li Huaiyuan? Lord, General Li Huaiyuan, but he has lost consecutive battles! Even the Khitan Third Department is asking us for help again. ”

Situ Liang said: "Everyone, although General Li Huaiyuan has been defeated in successive battles, have you ever received his request for help?" Have you ever heard of a crushing defeat of his army? Everyone has heard the story of retreat, and retreating is not the same as defeat. ”

After hearing this, the officials also thought thoughtfully, defeat and fake defeat are different, successive defeats, but they did not receive information about heavy losses and requests for help.

After speaking, Situ Liang said to Zhao again: "In addition to sending secret orders, I also have to give General Li a tough support." After all, this is a mixed army. Now, what General Lee needs most is the affirmation and trust of the lord. ”

Zhao Xun also nodded and said: "I was negligent before, Li Jinqian, this time you will travel as an envoy, in addition to conveying the secret order, but also bring them military orders, all the armies in the Khitan are subject to General Li's orders, and anyone who violates it, General Li has the right to kill on the spot!" ”

"Subordinates obey!"

"Chief of Administration, prepare to transfer officials and prepare supplies, whether it is in the Khitan territory or in the land of Heishui Jing, we need to establish our own city strongholds. With our own strongholds and cities, our people and interests can be secured. Zhao Xun ordered the chief secretary again.

After the officials left, Zhao Xun said to himself: "It seems that the Khitan should also be over." It's been three months, and hundreds of thousands of troops are rushing back and forth to fight! ”

Situ Liang said with a smile: "Lord, it seems that General Li is ready to give this northern five departments a ruthless plan!" ”

"If you don't be ruthless, you can't do it, only when the five divisions are weakened, can the three Khitan divisions continue to advance north and annex them. And we can follow and swallow them step by step. Zhao Xun said with a smile.
