Between the rivers.

Therefore, the name suggests, between the river, located between the Ziya River and the Koushui, the two rivers have abundant flow in all seasons, so the grain yield between the rivers is also good, so fertile soil, but basically occupied by the family, etc., the real homesteaders are very few.

When night fell, Wu Chuan led the Chinese army to the outside of Hejian City, Wu Chuan looked at the low city wall between the rivers, and said: "Generals, this Hejian boundary, the person whom this king admires the most is the famous general Zhang He of Cao Wei of the Three Kingdoms, although this person has chosen the lord three times, but since following Cao Cao, he has fought in the south and the north, and the east and the west to fight, which can be described as a glorious achievement, do you know which point this king values him most?" ”

The generals naturally didn't know, so they arched their hands and said: "The subordinates don't know!" ”

Wu Chu's face sank, and he said: "It's not that he can be loyal, but that he can take advantage of the situation and grasp the fighter, so he can make great achievements." You haven't experienced much war, but as a general, you can't slack off because of this! ”

"Your Highness's teachings, the last general will take them to heart!" The generals agreed.

Wu Zheng's face softened slightly, although he didn't know how much these generals could listen to, but when he ascended to the throne, he would not only carry out household reform, land reform, government reform, but also army reform. He is not demanding, in the first five years, he will strive to increase grain production, and after the second five years, Tibet must become a state! Then in the third five years, if possible, then the external expansion of the Great Zhou will really begin.

Of course, this is just a plan of Wu Zheng, this plan only exists in his mind, whether it is feasible or not, it needs to be discussed with the minister before making a final conclusion.

So. Wu Chu then ordered: "Set up camp outside the city, don't disturb the people of the river!" ”

"Yes! Your Highness! Immediately, the generals returned to their headquarters. Supervise and set up camp.

Youzhou.

The Assassin Mansion was occupied by the Khitans at this time, and the person at the head was naturally Sun Wanrong, who was the self-proclaimed general, who was ordered by the empress and renamed Sun Wanrong, but for Sun Wanrong, not even a single hair was lost. And the name of "Ten Thousand Chops" is even more domineering!

Now. Sun Wanrong summoned the generals, and he said slowly: "The prince of the Great Zhou is personally recruited, according to the time. has already passed Jizhou, you talk about what to do! ”

"Beat his mother, what about the prince's personal expedition? Is my Khitan Erlang bluffing? The generals began to curse.

The lobby was noisy. Sun Wanrong frowned. snapped, slapped one hand on the desk, and said sharply: "What a noise!" If Wu Chuan is a mud bodhisattva, we can throw it into the river, don't you know who Wu Chuan is? ”

Suddenly, the generals fell silent.

For example, today, there are very few people who don't know King Wu of Wei. Someone once said it in the newspaper. If you don't know Wei Wangqi, it's useless to call yourself a hero!

"General. This matter needs to be considered in the long run! A calm voice came.

Sun Wanrong immediately saw that it was Li Kaigu, who had always been known for his calmness, but because of his kindness to the prisoners of the Great Zhou, the Khitan generals rejected him. But at this time, Sun Wanrong had to ask, "Does General Li have a good plan?" ”

Li Kaigu brushed his beard and said: "The prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty has 200,000 generals this time, according to the past, at least no less than 100,000, but the news from the DPRK and China is that 100,000 soldiers have been newly recruited, and from the perspective of the last general, there will be at least 130,000, including nearly 10,000 of Zuo Yu Lin Wei of the crown prince, and the 20,000 soldiers raised in the early years will not be left behind." Therefore, if our army wants to win, it must destroy all 30,000 of these old soldiers in order to have a glimmer of life. Otherwise, we might as well surrender earlier, if we use this to negotiate, our Khitan tribe will not be wiped out. ”

"Li Kaigu, if you want to surrender so much, go and surrender, why do you say these things?" Someone didn't say yes.

Li Kaigu shook his head slightly, sighed in his heart, and stopped talking. Do these people really not know that the behemoth of the Great Zhou is not resisted by a weak nation of their own? Do you have to wait for the extermination of the clan before you can wag your tail and beg for mercy? But after years of research on His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, Li Kaigu himself knows that the Prince of the Great Zhou cannot be taken lightly. He will not have mercy at all and give up killing his opponent, look at the post-Turkic, a huge khanate with more than 200,000 armor, and destroy it when he says it. Can he Khitan compare to the Later Turks?

Although Sun Wanrong has a trace of dissatisfaction in his heart, he is not a fool, and if he can become the current controller of the Khitans, he is not an ordinary person. Although Li Kaigu's words are a little frustrating, they are indeed the truth, the prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty will definitely not do nothing in Hebei like Wu Youyi. If there are no good defenses, then perhaps, the Khitans will also follow in the footsteps of the Later Turkic Khanate and disappear. Then, he will become a sinner of the Khitan clan!

"Alright, shut up!" Sun Wanrong stood up suddenly, and then paced back, and then, turned around suddenly, and said, "General Li stays, and the others are scattered!" ”

So, the generals bowed down and exited the lobby one by one.

After waiting for the generals to leave, Sun Wanrong said, "General Li, please sit down first." ”

Li Kaigu didn't know what Sun Wanrong was going to do when he left him, but it might have something to do with what he just said, could it be that the general had already had the heart to surrender?

Sun Wanrong asked the maidservant to serve tea, and now the Khitan nobles are deeply influenced by the Great Zhou Dynasty and basically drink tea. After laying down Youzhou, he got a lot of good tea, which made Sun Wanrong very happy, but at the moment he was very disappointed in his heart, and he couldn't taste anything while drinking tea.

Li Kaigu saw that Sun Wanrong didn't speak, and he was afraid that there was something unspeakable, so he asked first: "The general left the last general, is it ......?"

Sun Wanrong said slowly: "Since the death of the Khan, I have been in the position of a general, and I have done my best every day, for fear that my Khitan people will fall into a land of no return. At the beginning, there were troubles in the surrounding area, there were post-Turks in the north, and there was a Tibetan army in the west, and the general and the khan rose up. Now the khan has also died, the Tibetans have been defeated, and the Turks have been destroyed. I'm Khitan alone. Xi people's heads and rats at both ends, not to be an ally, difficult! ”

Li Kaigu was stunned for a moment, could it be that the general had the intention of surrendering? But then he shook his head, now surrendered, if he didn't have enough strength, the prince would not agree, attacked the city and plundered the land, killed a lot of Han people, this blood account can not be offset by a simple "surrender".

"General, can you listen to the words of humility?" Li Kaigu's face was resolute, and his old eyes were full of unwavering gaze.

Sun Wanrong stared at Li Kaigu, and then said, "General Li, please speak!" ”

Li Kaigu said slowly: "If the general wants to surrender to the Great Zhou, he can protect my Khitan from his humble position, and he can also let the general be a marquis!" ”

Sun Wanrong suddenly got up and said, "The old general said come and listen!" ”

Li Kaigu bowed his hand and said slowly: "The prince of the Great Zhou Dynasty must have planned to destroy my Khitan a long time ago to relieve the border troubles. My Khitan people killed a lot of Han people, this is a blood feud, if you beg to surrender at this time, you will inevitably be rejected by the Great Zhou court, and the prince will not agree. But now, there is an opportunity ......" (to be continued......
