Chapter 751: Hedong Barbarians
After listening to Li Lingyue's explanation, King Fu finally put his mind at ease, he also remembered that when he was young and had not yet left Beijing, he had indeed seen several knights of the previous dynasty at several ceremonies, although most of these people were closed on weekdays and did not make friends with outsiders, but they could also be regarded as rich and leisurely, and it would be good if they could have such treatment.

"That's good, that's good!" The sorrow on King Fu's face finally disappeared, and he thanked Li Lingyue repeatedly, "I want to thank Sister Taiping this time, if Lord Taiwei has any dispatch in the future, Brother Fool will not refuse." King Fu slapped his chest one after another, and as soon as he entered the capital, he wanted to give Li You a posture.
"Don't be in a hurry, right now, Lord Taiwei has just recovered the capital, and there are still many things to deal with, Brother Wang is enjoying happiness in the palace as before, once a decision is made, the little sister will definitely inform Brother Wang as soon as possible." This mission was completed smoothly, but when the time comes, will Li You canonize King Fu there? After all, he is a person who once ascended the throne and became the emperor, if he stays in the capital, even if he doesn't have this mind, I'm afraid he will be used by someone with a heart? Li Lingyue couldn't help but think about what would happen in the future, and not only King Fu, but also the emperors of Yue and Shu, these are not big troubles, and if you want to deal with them properly, it is not so easy.
Of course, it's too early to start planning these things now, not to mention anything else, the king of Shu is still staying in his palace in Shuzhong, even if it is to alleviate the difficulty of recovering Shuzhong, Li You has to settle these large waste dim sum.
The carriage continued to slowly move towards the capital, and in a day or two it would be possible to officially enter the capital, but Li You in the capital could not take care of them now, because the situation in Hedong Province had changed subtly.
Previously, when he defeated Arubu and recovered the capital, Luo Shiji and Shi Huaiyi of Henan Province also exterminated the remnants of the Beiyu of Hedong Province and those green forest heroes who did evil, and joined forces with Qian Hua to start attacking Hedong Province in the north; And Hedong Province originally had a large number of northern captives stationed in Hedong Province before, but Arubu transferred them back from Hedong Province for the safety of Dragon City, so there was a power vacuum in Hedong Province in a short period of time.
In order to compete for this territory, Luo Shiji and Qian Hua accelerated the speed of the march, but Hedong Road covers an extremely wide area, and the troops in their hands are very limited.
Luo Shiji and Qian Hua had already thought about this possibility before sending troops, and in their opinion, this was not an unbearable thing, they only needed to maintain the state of mutual non-aggression between the two sides for the time being, and when Li You officially ascended the throne as emperor and the strength of the Jiazhou army recovered, it was just a matter of hand-to-hand capture to clean up these barbarians.
But they didn't expect that as soon as these barbarians occupied the cities that belonged to the people of Great Wei, they couldn't hold back their tyranny, and wantonly burned, killed and plundered.
This move was beneficial to the people, but it violated Li You's battle strategy that Li You had already set, and perhaps it would also cause a fierce attack by the barbarians in Hedong Province, thus disrupting Li You's plan to accept Chan Rang to ascend the throne and become emperor, so Luo Shiji immediately sent a letter to Li You to ask for guilt after exterminating these barbarians.
"How is Hedong's barbarian bottom?" Li You didn't make a decision immediately, but planned to first understand the specific situation of this group of barbarians in Hedong Province, he had heard some things about Hedong Province when he was in the capital before, but now that several years have passed, the situation in the world is chaotic, and I am afraid that the situation is no longer the same as it was at the beginning.
"Previously, the Black Ice Platform had infiltrated Hedong Road through various channels, and after recovering Henan Province, it has increased its efforts to put in fine work, and has a general understanding of the current situation in Hedong Road." Sima Cuo said and walked to the map, "Lord Taiwei, please see, now General Luo and General Qian have occupied Weizhou, Yizhou, Yingzhou, Hengzhou, Fenzhou and other places, approaching Youzhou to the north, and approaching Yanzhou to the west It already borders Guannei Road, but Hedong Road covers a vast area, which is the largest area among all the roads in the world, and General Luo and General Qian occupy less than the eleventh of Hedong Road. ”
Li You looked at the past along Sima Cuo's point, Hedong Road stretched to the extreme north, and the area of the two provinces of Jin, Hebei and the imperial capital plus the three eastern provinces in later generations was about the same, and the area occupied by Qian Hua and Luo Shiji was indeed not large.
"Previously, although the Great Wei set up Hedong Road here, only a small half of the territory in the south was directly under its jurisdiction, and the north of Jizhou was actually occupied by the Hedong tribes such as the Xi people, the Yan people, and the He tribes, and they only nominally accepted the jurisdiction and canonization of the Great Wei, and these tribes fought endlessly and fought against each other." Sima Cuo continued, "After the rise of Arubu, some of the northern Mobei tribes who were dissatisfied with Arub migrated eastward into Hedong Province, which further intensified the disputes here. ”
However, after Arubu went south to invade the capital, the forbidden army of Hedong Province also broke off contact with the Central Plains, and these tribes launched another campaign in order to seize the territory of Great Wei in Hedong Province. Thinking about it, this time they thought they had an opportunity to expand, so they were so eager to enter the army. Sima Cuo showed disdain, "These barbarians were born in bitter cold places, most of them live on nomadic fishing and hunting, and their personal martial arts may still be a little bit impressive, but the array battle is far inferior to our Jiazhou army, as long as we wait to free up our hands, it is only a matter of time to pacify Hedong Road, but the weather north of Hedong Road is cold, and the roads are impassable, so if we want to march, we must make proper preparations." ”
"I understand, so which tribe is the one who clashed with General Luo this time?" Li You continued to ask thoughtfully.
"It is a branch of the Yan tribe, which belongs to the weaker side of the Hedong tribes, and it is very likely that the Hedong tribes withdrew to test our Jiazhou army, in addition to this army that was wiped out by General Luo, they still have nearly 10,000 people stationed not far away." Sima replied wrongly, and after he finished speaking, he turned around and looked at Li You, who seemed to have made a decision.
