Xu Jingchun immediately knelt down and said in a trembling voice: "The minister is derelict in his duties, please punish Your Majesty!" ”

Lu Chengqi said after a long time: "It's not your fault, Annan wolf ambition has always wanted to encroach on my Dashun Guangnan West Road." It has only been two years since the establishment of the www.biquge.info Supervision Department, and it is normal for me not to realize that Annan's wolf ambitions are also normal. ”

"The minister has the great trust of His Majesty......" Xu Jingchun hurriedly confessed, he knew that he was indeed negligent. Originally, he thought that the current threat to Dashun was mainly from the north, and as long as he did a good job of the information on Goryeo, Liao, and Jurchen, and then took into account the Wa and Uighur countries, everything would be fine. But as soon as the little emperor proposed to control Annan's intelligence, Xu Jingchun knew that the Supervision Department was going to send secret agents again.

"Get up, Annan, a small place, there are not many people, but the ambition is very big, so you have to guard against it. Not only Annam, but also the countries of Champang, Zhenla, Tianzhu, and Zhulin must closely monitor and control their every move. Lu Chengqi did not hold him accountable, but continued to ask, "How has Liaoguo been lately?" ”

Xu Jingchun stood up as if he had been granted amnesty, and said cautiously: "Back to Your Majesty, since the traitor Yelu Chongyuan of the Liao State was given the head, everything is normal in the Liao State. On the other hand, the Jurchens in the northeast have also improved recently. ”

"Oh, is there such a thing?" Lu Chengqi was interested, he knew that the Jurchens were not so easy to deal with, and it was indeed a bit whimsical that the 200,000 Khitan army wanted to exterminate the Jurchens. But it's okay to let the Jurchen and Khitan fight first in advance, which saves Dashun a lot of effort. "Tell me carefully, how did the Jurchens do it?"

Xu Jingchun didn't dare to hide it, and hurriedly said: "Back to Your Majesty, the secret agents on the Jurchen side replied that although the Jurchens hid in the White Mountain, they often went out to harass the Khitan army, and the Khitans were so annoyed that they even went deep into the White Mountain to pursue. But every time, the Jurchens first ambushed the tribal warriors waiting, and the Khitans suffered a lot. After a long time, the Khitans did not dare to stay outside, and all of them withdrew to the city of Yueliji and leaned on the city to defend it. ”

Lu Chengqi was stunned for a while, isn't this the way guerrilla warfare is played! But think about it, there are few Jurchens, and there is nothing to rely on except for geographical advantages. In addition, they are all nomads, and the riding skills of the Jurchens are not inferior to those of the Khitans, and they also have experience in jungle hunting, so it is easy to deal with the Khitans in the Changbai Mountains. That Xiao Xulie is also a master of the art of war, knowing that it will not work like this, he hurriedly withdrew his troops and returned to Yueliji, relying on the advantage of the city wall, and confined the Jurchens to Changbai Mountain step by step.

It's a pity that the Khitans are also nomadic people, and they are not proficient in building cities or anything, and the Jurchens did not restrict them, but let the Jurchens in Changbai Mountain take the opportunity to escape. Xiao Xulie saw that his success had fallen short, and he looked up to the sky and sighed: "If there is a Liao destroyer, it must be the Jurchens!" ”

At that time, not only the Jurchens, but also the Liao State in the northwest and the Murwei were in turmoil. Even if the Liao State claims to have as many as one million people who control the strings, it can rebel in all directions, the army is exhausted, and the combat power is invisibly reduced.

After all, Murowei is divided into hundreds of tribes, and not all of them are keen to rebel. But the Jurchens are different, the growth of the Wanyan Department continues to attract Khitan people to graze and cultivate in the white mountains and black waters, which is digging the foundation of the Liao State! The taxes of the Liao State are heavy, there are many poor people, and the money earned has gone into the pockets of the Khitan nobles. There are traitors in the court, and the Khitan nobles are full of contradictions, and they all want to be the emperor themselves.

Xiao Xulie, who was over the age of six, saw through the situation and sighed like this. Only Xiao Feng didn't think so, he said: "As long as the Khitan people are united, they are not afraid of any Han and Jurchen." ”

After listening to Xu Jingchun's narration, Lu Chengqi was a little curious: "Xiao Feng really said that? ”

Xu Jingchun nodded hurriedly and said, "The minister doesn't dare to say anything!" ”

In this way, Xiao Feng is indeed a talent. But he didn't see that Liao was already terminally ill. Yelu Hongji is not a man of great courage, he can only keep it. If I were the emperor of Liao, I would definitely abolish the private soldier system first, encourage farming and grazing, and divide the captured soldiers in the war equally. Hehe, if one of them is done, the Liao Kingdom will still have a chance to breathe. Otherwise, when I have eased up, the Liao State will have no power to resist! Lu Chengqi was full of pride, scolded Fang Xuan, and pointed out the country.

Xu Jingchun was born in the border army, and he knew that the Liao State was powerful, so he said cautiously: "Your Majesty, don't be careless, this Khitan has a fierce temperament, is strong and strong, and an ordinary border army, two can win a Khitan man." If you attack rashly, I am afraid that you will be counterattacked by the Liao State! ”

Lu Chengqi said the words of a great man: "What Khitans and Jurchens are all paper tigers!" ”

Xu Jingchun still wanted to persuade again, but Lu Chengqi waved his hand and said, "I haven't gone crazy yet, Shunliao is safe now, it's the best." But if the Liao State invades the south again, I will not be polite to him. Hmph, is it still the Dashun of two years ago! ”

Seeing that the little emperor was so determined, Xu Jingchun couldn't persuade him anymore, so he could only say: "Your Majesty's grand plan is not comparable to that of Liao." It's just a flat horse in the territory of Liao, suitable for galloping horses, once the Khitan army attacks, tens of thousands of galloping horses, Pei Mo can also be royal! Chen was fortunate to have seen the Khitan army attacking, and the momentum was beyond human power to resist it. If Your Majesty wants to raise troops in Liao, he must think about how to crack the cavalry of Liao. I heard that there are also kidnapping horses in Liao, with armor all over their bodies, and the horses are also iron-armed, invulnerable, and very difficult to crack......"

Listening to Xu Jingchun chattering about the advantages of many Khitan troops, Lu Chengqi smiled and said nothing. In front of gunpowder, any iron armor is a paper tiger! As long as the artillery is sufficient, I don't believe that those horses are not frightened. Besides, Dashun's army was not without cavalry, and before the invention of the repeating machine gun, the cavalry still had a deterrent effect. After the enemy's horses were frightened, the Dashun cavalry made a detour to attack on both sides, and they would definitely be able to kill a lot. With the Hongxiang-style rifle, Lu Chengqi didn't believe that a well-trained army, an army with "high-tech" weapons, would lose to a Khitan army that only knew how to charge on horseback?

"Okay, Xu Qing, what you have to do is to collect intelligence on the enemy, and you won't have to worry about this war." Lu Chengqi interrupted Xu Jingchun's words.

"Your Majesty, the minister is just saying from the bottom of his heart, Your Majesty must think twice before acting!"

"Xu Qing is loyal, I already know it. In my opinion, the vitality of the Liao State has not recovered within five years, and there will be no war in Shunliao within five years. Five years later, Liao is no longer Dashun's opponent, doesn't Xu Qing know about the sub-mother cannon and Hongxiang-style rifle? Lu Chengqi said slowly.

“……”

Xu Jingchun wanted to say something, but Lu Chengqi preemptively said: "Now I just want to know as soon as possible what those Annan people are planning, and whether it is not good for Dashun." I want to see the results within ten days, can Xu Qing do it? ”

"Returning to Your Majesty, the ministers should do their best!" (To be continued.) )
