Section 219 North and South
The eyes are full of worries.
For Yelu Deguang, there have been few good things for more than a year, there are still a large number of supporters behind his brother, and they are still eyeing him, although the Murowei people have surrendered on the surface, but they are still waiting and watching, just like those Taya people, and the Tuyuhun people in the west, they are never willing to give up the opportunity to pull their hind legs.
Of course, the most hateful thing is Liu Shouguang, who has always adopted a policy of procrastination for his own requirements, and if he presses it tighter, he will loosen his mouth and loosen it loosely, and immediately climb along the pole, inch by inch, which is extremely hateful.
Maybe you really should give Liu Shouguang a little color, let him understand who is the real ruler of this land.
"Mother, I plan to have a showdown with Liu Shouguang and ask him to officially hand over Danzhou and Jizhou to us. "Yerod finally made a decision.
"Oh, Danzhou and Jizhou?" Shu Luping hesitated, "Are they pushing you too hard, and you want to use this to appease them?"
"Not exactly, in fact, there are already a lot of Khitan people in Danzhou and Jizhou, Liu Shouguang still owns it in name only, and his officials can't even get out of Miyun and Yuyang City, but he still has troops stationed there, which is always a fish bone in my throat, and I want him to take the fish bone himself. Yelu Deguang's face at this time was a little more ruthless.
Shu Luping shook his head, "If you really want to do this, I'm afraid you need to settle down internally first, your eldest brother, there are still eight departments, you must be prepared to deal with the unexpected, Liu Shouguang is also a bad wolf, he will not give in easily." ”
Jerod knew his mother's worries.
Liu Shouguang has been forbearance for so many years, of course it is not simple, everything is easy to say, but if you want him to withdraw the army from Yuyang and Miyun, the meaning is different, but it is precisely because Liu Shouguang can forbear, Yelu Deguang also believes that the other party lacks enough courage to turn his face.
In the early years, when his father Abaoji was there, Pingzhou was not also in the hands of Liu Shouguang, and he also handed it over obediently, Yelu Deguang decided that as long as he did not touch the bottom line of the other party, that is, Youzhou, Liu Shouguang did not dare to turn his face.
"Mother, I know how to do it, it's going to be fine, I'm thinking, if we don't speed up the pace of going south, once the Shatuo people gain a foothold in the Central Plains, then we won't have much chance. ”
Yelu Deguang also had a deep sense of urgency, he never expected that the Great Liang, who was known as the number one powerful domain in the Central Plains, would collapse so quickly.
Didn't you always say that Da Liang has never fallen behind the Shatuo people?
Doesn't it mean that every time the Shatuo people hit the beam, they have to pull a few helpers?
Why did the Shatuo family shoot this time, but they were able to beat the beam like this?
If the beam collapses, the situation in the Central Plains will change greatly, but now the Khitan is not ready to go south, but he can't do nothing, so he must take down Danzhou and Jizhou, and the next step should be Youzhou.
I heard that the population of Bianliang is millions, and if it is obtained by the Shatuo people, then the Shatuo people are really not easy to deal with, but the fine work is also saying that the Han people in Bianliang are fleeing south to Xuzhou in large numbers, and I don't know whether this is a good thing or a bad thing.
For Yelu Deguang, it is a pity that the Khitan people can't take a bite, the biggest obstacle is the three towns of Heshuo, especially Liu Shouguang, if Liu Shouguang is not solved, the Khitan will never be able to go south.
The Khitan iron cavalry did not say, but compared with the infantry army in the Central Plains, there is still a gap, Yelu Deguang has been recruiting Han and Xi people in Pingzhou and Yingzhou, training the infantry army, the effect is very good, over time, there will be a strong Han and Xi coalition infantry formed, and it will be able to become the most powerful helper of the Khitan iron cavalry.
It's the Tuyuhun people, Yelu Deguang doesn't know whether to contact it, the relationship between the Tuyuhun people and the Khitan side has always been bad, but the Shatuo people have entered the Central Plains, should I change course and readjust the direction?
There are also diviners, if the Tuyuhun people are still the same, maybe the evil wolf of the divination people should be lured south, and maybe it can cause some trouble to both the Shatuo people and the Tuyuhun people.
Thinking of the divination blockers, Yelu Deguang also has a bit of a headache, these barbarians, the most difficult to conquer, when his father was there, once let these guys bow down to obey orders, but since he ascended the throne as Khan, these blockers have pretended to be deaf and dumb and refused to pay tribute, but the words between the exchanges are quite deferential, maybe they can also use it.
However, no matter what, it is time for him to show his strength to the south, whether it is Liu Shouguang or these Han feudal lords further south, let them know that not only the Shatuo people, but also the Khitans, are all heroes on the Northland Plateau.
Heshuo should be a horse farm and grain field for the Khitan people, not a place where the Shatuo people or the Tuyuhun people made their own decisions, which Yelu Deguang felt that the Shatuo people had to understand, otherwise there would only be soldiers to meet.
Yelu Deguang had never thought that there were other people who dared to fight Heshuo's idea, in his opinion, the only people who dared to covet this land were the Shatuo people, and the Tuyuhun people could only suffer from ringworm and scabies.
As for the Han feudal lord in the south, that Jiang Feng, did he dare to cross the river? The powerful Khitan iron cavalry didn't mind teaching the other party a profound lesson.
Seeing the confident look on his son's face, Shu Luping thought for a while before saying, "You have to discuss this matter with Lu Guogong and come up with a proper method." ”
Lu Guogong is Han Yanhui, and he is also a Khitan political order, assisting Yelu Deguang in managing national affairs.
At present, the major national affairs of the Khitan State are determined by Yelu Deguang, Shu Luping and Han Yanhui, and Yelu Deguang and Shu Luping rely on Han Yanhui very much.
"Mother, don't worry, I will discuss a strategy with Guogong. ”
Qua, the confluence of Jane and the canal.
Li Yu stood on the bow of the boat, looking at the ant thief who was still showing off his might on the riverbank, his face was gloomy, and his heart was dripping blood.
He really doesn't want to fight with the ant thieves anymore, the war over the past year or so has made the entire Wu Guomin wither, Rao is Li Wu has abundant financial resources, but if it continues like this, especially the war continues to burn on the territory of Runchang Erzhou, Wu Guo can't hold on.
This year, it seems that Runchang Erzhou will be a difficult year again, the people are fleeing in all directions, and the crops in the fields are unattended, how should we live next year?
Bian Hao's eyes are also cruising on the shore, the ant thief's horse army has decreased compared to the last time, and it can be seen that the news brought back by the fine work is not wrong, and the war horses brought by the ant thieves from Jiangbei are becoming more and more rare, which is not only related to the unadaptation of the climate in the south of the Yangtze River, but also related to the fact that their war horses are not replenished, but the same situation is also on their own side.
Xuzhou has tightened the output of horses to the south, it is said that this may have a lot to do with their large-scale formation of cavalry, thinking of this, Bian Hao is in the same bad mood, there are ant thieves in the south, Qian Yue in the east, and Jiang Feng who is like a wolf and a tiger in the north, Bian Hao feels that since the lord of the country accepted the title of King Wu, it seems that it has become uncomfortable all of a sudden.
Chu Yang is often the place that Wu must defend, and it is not possible to lose any state, Chu Yang is the foundation of Wu State, and Runchang is the foundation of Wu State.
Without Runchang Erzhou, if Wu only defends Chuyang and is annexed by the increasingly powerful Xuzhou, it will be a matter of time, so Runchang Erzhou must be recaptured.
However, at present, this situation is unbearable for the Wu State, and the ant thieves divided into several parts cannot be destroyed individually as originally thought, or eliminated by encircling the point and sending reinforcements.
They have clearly formed two large groups, and they are almost not subordinate to each other, fighting separately, but sometimes they will cooperate with each other, and because of this, their own side will not be able to grasp the law in the war against these ant thieves, and their judgments have been repeatedly frustrated, but they have been exploited by the ant thieves.
The war against the ant thieves is not without progress, but the number of ant thieves is too large, even if it takes so long to eliminate 350,000 ant thieves, but so what? For the more than 150,000 ant thieves, it does not hurt the bones.
They even continued to plunder the good people in Run, Chang, She, Hangzhou, Mu and other prefectures and counties, or simply burned and looted everywhere, forcing the poor who had lost their homes to join them.
This trick was extremely powerful, and many peasants who were already suffering from Shezhou and Muzhou were coerced by them, and this method repeatedly succeeded in the Central Plains, but it did not work well in the rich areas of Runchang, but in the mountainous areas of Shemu and Muzhou, it had an effect.
Last month, the ant thieves were already a little tired, withdrew from Changzhou, and turned to attack Huzhou, they broke through Anji, approached Wucheng, and were later repelled by the Vietnamese army, but Qian Yuanjun, a short-sighted rat, refused to take advantage of the victory to pursue, and let the ant thieves flee back to Sui'an, and now these ant thieves attacked from the line of Maoshan and Chishan Lake, and caught their side off guard.
One thing that made Li Yu and Bian Hao a little afraid was that these ant thieves from the Central Plains had gone through such a long war, not only became more and more familiar with the climate and geography here, but also made them even more frightened that a large number of local homeless tenants had also joined them, and even some local gentry were secretly communicating with these ant thieves, which was what worried them the most.
The local gentry are also quite impatient with such a long-lasting war, if they can't achieve a decisive victory over the ant thief, maybe these people may change their court, especially in many of the ant thief's tactics are also changing, the ant thief has already tried some in Xuanzhou, and has won the support of some inferior gentry in Xuanzhou, which is definitely a bad news.
If this continues, the situation in Runchang Erzhou may be even worse, some information has been obtained from all sides, there are gentry in Jurong and Jintan who are secretly communicating with the ant thieves, using grain money and silver to ransom the ant thieves not to attack Jurong and Jintan, which is also one of the reasons why Yanling and Qu'a were attacked this time.
This is already a very dangerous sign.
