Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
Yukyo has just fallen into the night.
The stars are hanging low, and the streets in the middle of the city have long been forbidden streets, and the city patrol riders covered with black clothes and black armor are patrolling the whole city, and the streets are empty of people.
Only the workshop is still lively. In front of the small restaurant in the alley, it is full of diners. The people who returned home were happily eating by the fireside with their families. The lights of thousands of homes in the workshop are bright, and the lights are on. From time to time, laughter came from afar, with a few words of joy for the autumn harvest and the increasing abundance of life.
At this time, the people had just eaten their meals, burped, picked up the bucket, equipped with waist knives, and strolled through the streets, loudly reminding the residents of fire prevention and theft.
The palace door outside the Linshuo Palace has been locked, and the palace maid in the corridor took off the lampshade to light the palace lamp. From a distance, the faint halo of the palace lamps lit up one by one from far to near, dispelling the thick night. The patrolling guards stepped over the stone steps, their armor leaves clanging.
The autumn night is getting cooler, and in the main hall of Linshuo Palace, there is a stack of uncorrected folds on the side of the table, but the emperor of the Great Zhao Empire, Li Chongjiu, is not at the table at the moment. Li Chongjiu was wearing a cloak and holding a long sword in his hand, and looked earnestly at a huge cowhide map hanging on the wall.
Judging from the map, the territory of the Great Zhao Empire is expanding day by day, and its territory is gradually vast.
Yesterday, Guo Xiaoke sent a battle report, he led the army to live up to expectations and captured Wuhuan Mountain, and pushed the northern territory of Zhao State into the depths of the grassland for hundreds of miles in one fell swoop. Guo Xiaoke had asked Li Chongjiu to increase the Han army garrison against the Songmo Protectorate in order to build a city on Wuhuan Mountain.
Although Li Chongjiu is short of troops at the moment, he still agreed to Guo Xiaoke, and sent 2,000 newly recruited 2,000 elites from the six counties in the north to be sent to White Wolf City.
In addition, Guo Xiaoke also promoted Wang Shi as the general of the eagle in the chapter. In the two battles of attacking Wuhuan Mountain, first guarding the grain team, repelling the night attack of the Khitan cavalry, and then attacking Wuguling, with less and more strikes. Break 3,000 Khitan cavalry. Li Chongjiu was stunned when he saw it, but he didn't expect that Wang Shi, the captain of Tuntian, would actually support himself, and in the pine desert, a place where birds don't, he would be self-reliant and do a lot of work.
Could it be that talents will shine wherever they go, and their previous views on Wang Shi were deviated. Maybe it's still the old ministers' words that are right, juniors, always let him go out and break through, don't beat and beat, how do you know if it's a dragon or a phoenix in the future. However, Li Chongjiu is still very happy that Wang Shi can have such a good watch. At that time, he not only approved Guo Xiaoke's request, but also gave Wang Shi real power and granted him the post of deputy general of White Wolf City.
Wang Shi returned to Wang Shi, but Guo Xiaoke defeated the Khitans at Wuhuan Mountain, allowing Li Chongjiu to have a great deal in Saibeixing, and the most important thing was to cut off the direct contact between the Turks and the people of Goguryeo. It was also a powerful blow to the Khitan forces attached to the Goguryeo.
Hundreds of thousands of Khitan tribes left the familiar grasslands of Wuhuan Mountain and moved north. Li Chongjiu followed the map and moved north to the current Daxinganling. This vast mountain is still a primeval jungle in many places to this day. If the Khitans were to be moved north for the winter, life would inevitably be even more difficult.
If this is the case, the hundreds of thousands of Khitans who lack cattle, sheep, livestock and horses will be reduced by at least one-third in the cold Daxing'an Mountains.
However, Li Chongjiu was not ready to exterminate the Khitans, but decided to take this opportunity to vigorously recruit the Khitans and allow them to move back to the Huo'er Shen grassland, of course, on the condition that they must obey the jurisdiction of Da Zhao. Not only did the people have to obey the call of the Great Zhao Songmo Protectorate at any time, but they also had to pay a certain amount of taxes every year. The son of the head man studied as a proton in the country of Youjing.
As long as there are more than 100,000 Khitans attached to Zhao, then the remaining Khitans will be very small in the Huoershen grassland. In this way, Goguryeo's arm can also be cut off. At that moment, Li Chongjiu drew a big red circle on Wuhuan Mountain on the cowhide map, indicating that this place had been included in the territory of Dazhao.
Li Chongjiu then looked at the Turks on the west side of the Huo'er Shen steppe and Goguryeo on the east side.
The situation in Goguryeo has been stable recently. The Great Wall to the south is complete. It is a Great Wall that connects more than a dozen important towns, and of course it is the work of the Goguryeo people who imitated the Great Wall of the Qin and Han dynasties. It's just that the identity is translocated, and Goguryeo treats Dazhao as a nomadic general defense.
Zhou Zhou, the new county guard of Liaodong County, once sent a table to Li Chongjiu, saying that he would rely on the 6th Army to break through the thousand-mile Great Wall, and at least 200,000 horses would be mobilized. You must know that Goguryeo's name is good at defending, and everyone knows that during the second conquest of Liaodong, Emperor Yang of Sui's 300,000 troops attacked a small place in Liaodong City for less than three months.
Zhou Zhou instead gave Li Chongjiu a book to capture Goguryeo at sea. Zhou Zhou listed that when Emperor Wu of the Han Dynasty pacified Weiman Korea, he ordered Yang Fu, the general of Lou Chuan, to lead 50,000 troops across the Bohai Sea and break through the royal city of Weiman Korea, and then the Han Dynasty set up four Han counties in Korea.
Zhou Zhou quoted this incident, saying that Da Zhao must imitate the Han Dynasty's Pingwei Manchu Korea, and should not repeat the mistakes of Emperor Yang of Sui's three expeditions to Liaodong. Zhou Zhou built yì from the long-term consideration, marched troops from the sea, bypassed Goguryeo to build a strong defense line of the Great Wall, and vigorously operated the two strongholds of Duli Town and Dengzhou, so as to prepare for crossing the sea to attack Goguryeo in the future.
Zhou Zhou also said that it was only one thing to grasp the supremacy of the sea and attack Goguryeo, and more importantly, in the future, he would have to face the provocations of Silla, Baekje, and even the Japanese kingdom further east at sea, in order to prevent it from happening. Zhou Zhou built yì to expand Duli Town, Dengzhou two naval battalions, build sea ships, train naval forces, and compete on the sea in the future!
Let the Great Zhao Sailor not only crisscross the Jianghuai, but also dominate the sea.
Li Chongjiu read Zhou Zhou's recital, and there was not a single word that he disagreed, but there was not a word that he agreed, the reason was very simple, Li Chongjiu gave Zhou Zhou a reply and simply had no money for two words. It's okay to raise a water army, but let Zhou Zhou figure it out by himself. This is also no way, Li Chongjiu has just finished the war in Wuhuan Mountain, Xu Shiji and Song Jingang's army in Shandong have also started, and the dredging of the Yongji Canal here has not been completed, where does Li Chongjiu have the money to manage the expansion of the water army.
Of course, Li Chongjiu also gave Zhou Zhou power and let him figure out his own way, even if it was by some extraordinary means. I'm afraid he's going to steal and rob it.
Li Chongjiu just said this casually, but Zhou Zhou immediately replied, saying that he would organize a naval army to invade the coastal areas of Goguryeo, plunder the people, and consume the funds obtained by himself. Li Chongjiu thought about it, the secret Dao Zhou Zhou is not simple, isn't this what he did when he plundered Goguryeo?
However, Li Chongjiu was only 6 thieves at the beginning, and Zhou Zhou's ambition was to be a pirate.
