The Yellow River meanders for thousands of miles, flows eastward from Qinghai, passes through Lanzhou, turns north, passes through Helan Mountain and Shuofang's army, and then turns east and then reaches Fengzhou.

Fengzhou, which became Jiuyuan during the Qin and Han dynasties, accompanied by the growth of nomads, before the establishment of the Yu Dynasty, it was no longer able to defend itself and became the pasture of Hulu.

Later, several generations of the Yu Dynasty finally recaptured this Qin and Han Dynasty hometown from the Eastern Turks, and established Fengzhou City, which began to be sparsely populated, and there were only more than 1,000 households in the whole state when the Yu Dynasty just established Fengzhou.

Later, in order to deal with the threat of Hulu in the north, a city was built here, which was divided into a city to be surrendered in the west, a city to be surrendered in the middle, and a city to be surrendered in the east. The location of the western surrender city is the most northwest, close to Wolf Mountain, while the middle surrender city is in the middle, and the eastern surrender city is located in the easternmost place.

The Yu Dynasty set up two towns in this place, the Tiande Army and the Zhenwu Army, of which the Tiande Army was responsible for the defense of the West Surrender City and the Middle Surrender City, and the Fengzhou Metropolitan Defense Envoy was in charge of the military and civilian affairs of the Tiande Army and Fengzhou.

Because Tibet was strong, it not only competed with the Western Turks for the Western Regions, but also seized the land of Longyou. Therefore, the trade routes with the Great Food, Persia, Tiaozhi, and Great Qin were to go through the Uighur territories friendly with the Yu Dynasty.

One of the two main trade routes was from Baiyujing, all the way north through Linzhou, through the desert to the city of Zhongshou, and then into the grassland. The other way is from the eastern capital Luoyang, enter Hedong, and then turn to Zhongshou City and enter the grassland.

Foreign merchants called the trade route from Bai Yujing "Towering Khan Road", and the trade route leading to the eastern capital Luoyang as "Shan Yu Road".

The Yu Dynasty also opened ditches and built water conservancy facilities here, and the garrison of Fengzhou was not only able to be self-sufficient in food, but also to provide food to Bai Yujing.

The remnants of the Uighurs of the Commander of Guangming Sheng naturally coveted such a Silk Road node, a good place with abundant water and grass and ditches. As long as you hold the three surrendered cities under the jurisdiction of Fengzhou and Tiande Army, you can not only stay here to recover your vitality, but also continue to reap the huge profits brought by the Silk Road.

If you have money and food, you don't have to worry about the capital to turn over.

The Uighurs were pressing forward step by step, but Li Xu knew that the imperial court was now afraid of wolves and tigers.

The confrontation line between the Tubo and Yu dynasties spread from CD to Lingzhou, where the men and horses must not be easily mobilized, and the only troops that can be mobilized can be the forces from the central Shence Army and the troops of Hedong.

It's really stretched.

Therefore, Yufuguo's strategy is to take the Tiande Army and the Zhenwu Army as the first line, and he leads the main force through Taiyuan as the second line, which can reduce the loss of military grain transportation and deter the feudal towns in Hebei.

If the Uighurs invaded, it would have been convenient for him to rely on the Yellow River to support the Tiande and Zhenwu armies.

Li Xu himself had no military experience, and he felt from the map that Yu Fuguo's response was still very appropriate.

"Lao Chen, what do you think the ministers will think if the Uighur mission arrives in Baiyujing?"

"Anyway, there are only two opinions, war and peace, and you can't pretend not to know. Chen Chaoen glanced at the emperor and thought to himself that this master has a big heart, and the Xiangye Lu over there has asked people to cut and cut and throw out Bai Yujing, you are still worried about the affairs of the northern Uighurs, can't you worry more about yourself?

"Peace is to cut the land, and it is very likely that the Yu Dynasty's qi will be exhausted. Li Xumo snapped his fingers: "If you are asked to make a decision, should you fight or peace?"

I don't use any decision-making, Chen Chaoen sneered, you and I are in a hurry, our decision is a.

Slander is slander, what should be said or what should be said is not leaky.

"The slave and maid think that the main one is not necessarily the good guy, and the lord and the one who is not necessarily the bad guy. ”

This father-in-law is really slippery, Li Xu pondered it, and he understood the meaning of Chen Chaoen's words.

If you are not willing to cede the land, it will probably be only a war. As soon as the battle began, the winners and losers were all in the number of five or five. Even if the Yu Dynasty wins, Yufu and the Shence army under his command will be injured, and the Queen Mother will take this opportunity to weaken Yufuguo.

Once the Yu Gonggong was unfortunately defeated, the remnants of the Uighurs and the tiger opened their mouths widely, and the Tubo and various feudal towns took the opportunity to make trouble, and the Yu Dynasty might be lost in the hands of Li Xu.

If you are willing to cede the land, at least you can maintain an invincible and undefeated situation, Yu Fuguo led the troops back to the court, and the court situation is still a three-legged situation of the queen mother, Han Gang and Yu Gonggong, Li Xu then waited for the opportunity in the palace little by little, waiting to take over the power. As for the land in Fengzhou, as long as he waits until he takes the throne, he will work hard, and he will not eat it if he takes it back after the whole army talks about martial arts.

After all, if Father-in-law Yu shows his might, kills the Remnants of the Waste, and returns to the dynasty with the power of victory, at that time, Father-in-law Yu's family is dominant, not to mention that the Queen Mother and Han Gang don't want to see such a situation, even Li Xu himself doesn't want to have such a situation.

Li Xu didn't care so much, he frowned and asked, "Lao Chen, I'm asking you, do you think you will do a good job or not." ”

You really treat yourself as a dish, Chen Chaoen arched his hand and said: "Qiangang is arbitrary, Jane is in the emperor's heart." ”

Li Xu shook his head.

"The world is not a world with one family name, it is the world of people under the world. The words in Li Xu's mouth just now only made Chen Chaoen feel ridiculous, and now they made the big eunuch's scalp tingle.

"I'm just running for the people of the world because of the Mandate of Heaven. Fortunately, Li Xu's latter sentence pulled the topic back, but it was already scared of Chen Chaoen's white sweat.

"A philosopher once said that the biggest mistake is to measure the outcome by motivation, and people never pay attention to the severity of the consequences. The most wrong thing is to be reckless and only use the motivation behind it to measure right and wrong. Li Xu suddenly remembered a line he had seen in a movie before.

"I don't care who is kind and who harbors bad intentions, once Fengzhou falls into the hands of Hulu, the people of Fengzhou will have to leave their homes and struggle to survive. Leaving the mausoleum of their ancestors and giving up the land left by their ancestors, their ancestors defended the feudal territory, but their descendants had to leave their homeland, suffer poverty and even become slaves. Li Xu looked at Chen Chaoen, and he believed that his words would definitely be transferred to the ears of Yufuguo in the northern capital of Taiyuan.

The Uighurs had gained a firm foothold in Fengzhou, nourished by the wealth of the trade routes and the land of the Nine Plains, and the Hulu had always been like a snake with a long snake that could not be filled, and the people of Guanzhong and Hedong would suffer in the future. ”

"Tell Father-in-law Yu that he is guarding the land for the Son of Han Heaven, I don't care so much, as long as he wins, I only allow him to win. Those flies and dogs in the court don't have to care, Er Cao's body and name are destroyed, and the rivers and rivers will not be wasted. To be able to defeat the Falcon is a thousand years of achievement. ”

Li Xu looked at Chen Chaoen: "Can you save the truth here?"

"The slave knows that the slave and the maid will be transferred to the fish father-in-law. Chen Chaoen said, and he suddenly thought of something: "Dare to ask Your Majesty, which sage is the philosopher you mentioned just now?"

This question made Li Xu ponder for a long time, he really couldn't remember what the name of the foreigner from the Chicago School in the movie was, but he was very impressed by the actor who said this.

"It's a great sage named Chen Haonan. Li Xu paused for a moment and then said: "There is a nickname on the rivers and lakes called 'Hua Hero'. ”

Chen Chaoen nodded, he couldn't imagine that there was such a dragon and snake lurking in the rivers and lakes, and then he thought about it again, how did the words of the people in the rivers and lakes reach the emperor's ears, it seems that he has to check it carefully.
