I heard that the court did not intend to conquer Liaodong, so my father, the chief general of the volunteer army, also resigned with Li Chao. . The fastest update

"Since the court has agreed to select all 10,000 volunteer soldiers as government soldiers and place them in western Liaoning, I feel relieved. These young men did not work in vain. This trip is worth it. I, my old bones, will not be mixed with them."

Dad plans to go to his fiefdom.

My father, as the Duke of Kaiguo County, had a fiefdom of 100 miles. His fief is on the eastern foot of Yanshan Mountain, on the north side of the Great Wall, and across the south is Lulong County in Pingzhou.

The fief is outside the Great Wall, but it is actually much better than Li Chao's fief.

Li Chao's seal is located in the north of Langshan, and is the grassland Gobi. It is far away from the Central Plains, with high mountains and far roads. But my father's fiefdom is much better. Although it is outside the Great Wall and a mountainous area, it is just a Great Wall of Yanshan from the Hebei Plain.

His fief is still on the edge of Xuanhe River.

Xuanhe is a tributary of Ruhe.

Ruhe was later called Luanhe, and Xuanhe was the Qinglong River in later generations. Therefore, my father's fiefdom was actually in Qinglong County in later generations.

It was a beautiful place.

Of course, at this time, it can only be called a remote ravine.

One hundred miles away, the Central Plains is almost as big as a county.

My father, the county lord, is a real Baili Marquis.

"After the Liaoxi court recovered, this territory was much safer, without the threat of Goguryeo. Now the Xi people and the Khitan people still have threats, but they are much better. They usually dare not easily violate the power of the Tang Dynasty." The father was also very concerned about his fiefdom.

Li Chao had arranged for him to manage the affairs, recruited craftsmen and workers, and went to build a castle and a village in advance.

“This land is pretty good.”

Li Chao looked at the location marked on the map. In fact, this area outside the pass that the imperial court believed was previously affiliated with Yingzhou, western Liaoning.

In the earliest Spring and Autumn Period, this place was the Shanrong Kingdom and belonged to the Yan Kingdom during the Warring States Period.

Qin, during the Western Han Dynasty, belonged to Youbeiping County, Eastern Han Dynasty, Liaoxi County, Northern Qi entered Beiping County, and during the Sui Dynasty, it was divided into Beiping and Liucheng County, and at the end of the Sui Dynasty, it was assigned to Liucheng County, Yingzhou.

"Sanlang, do you think the court has regained Yingzhou now, will it take my fief and give me another piece?"

Dad said a little worried.

When my father enfeoffed the throne, it was in the hands of the Goguryeo people, but now it has not been taken back in western Liaoning.

If the court thinks that this place should be directly under the jurisdiction of the court, then it would be a loss for him to build the territory now.

Li Chao thinks that there is such a possibility.

After all, although this place is outside the Great Wall, the boundary line is not so clear. The Qinglong River Valley Mountains were also nomadic places for the Xi and Khitans in the past. But after all, it is close to the Hebei Plain. Now, after regaining western Liaoning, it is closer to the western Liaoning Corridor. This Qinglong River Valley was also an ancient road leading to Liaodong during the Qin and the Warring States Period.

The route by the sea was still flooded in the sea.

"It's okay, I guess it won't change for a while. Even if I really want to change the ban in the future, it's not a big deal. It's just a castle and several villages."

The title may be changed in the future, but as long as it does not change now, the Li family will have to guard this territory first. Otherwise, if it is occupied by the Xi people of the Khitan, the title and title of Dad may have been taken away.

Anyway, there is nothing wrong with western Liaoning yet.

Yuchi Gong returned to Youzhou, and Shi Wanbao was in charge of Linyu Pass.

Li Chao planned to send his father to his fiefdom, and at the same time he led his army to inspect the borders of northwestern Liao. There was no clear boundary in the past. Li Chao was going to erect a few stones, erect a few boundary monuments, and draw a clear northern border in western Liaoning.

Of course, we must meet Kumo Xi and the Khitans. While shocking them, it would be better if we could negotiate and open a deal with Xi and Qi at the same time.

To conquer the Xi people and the Khitan people, you don’t have to use a knife or a gun. Such tribes that survive in the cracks between great powers and are still in the era of primitive tribal alliances can also control them by trading with them, dividing and winning over them.

The biggest difference between Kumoxi and Khitan, now the Turks and Tiel, is that they have not yet been a unified Khan.

The Khitans are eight tribes. They have not even established a stable tribal alliance. There is no leader who can hold the Khitan's right to speak. They are now the chiefs of the eight tribes and take turns to preside over the presidency. In fact, this host does not have much power, but the right to initiate and convene the chiefs of the eight tribes to discuss. As for the right to decide, there is no.

They also do not have any standing army in tribes, but all tribes are soldiers.

And the same is true for Kumoxi.

The Khitans' activities range were in the Western Liaohe River area, while the Kumoxi people were in the later Laoha River area. In contrast, the Kumoxi people were closer to the border of the Tang Dynasty, but the Khitans also bordered the northeastern end of Liaoxi.

Over the years, the Khitans and the Kumoxi people have always followed the Turks and invaded the Tang Dynasty a lot. In the early years, the Khitans were crazy, but later the Sui Dynasty taught them a lesson, and they still used the Turkish soldiers to destroy them. This made the Khitans very hurt and were a little disinterested in the Turks. However, the Turks have become powerful in recent years and they have no choice.

Now the Eastern Turks are over. The Western Turks came to call the Khan, but internal strife broke out again. At this time, Li Chao felt that it would be fine to talk to them.

The Turks began to weaken and the Tang Dynasty had risen. They should know which side they were on.

I wanted Pingyang to stay in Liucheng, but she insisted on going.

"I'm only three months pregnant, so it doesn't affect anything. My body is already strong, and the doctor said that as long as I don't ride a horse to fight, it's okay."

Despite this, Li Chao finally disagreed with letting Pingyang ride a horse.

If you want to go, go by the sedan chair.

He even disagreed with the carriage.

Even if the four-wheeled carriage has shock absorption function, there is no good road here. Especially since my father's fiefdom is still in the mountains, Li Chao is still preparing to meet the Xi people and the Khitan people.

Pingyang was reluctant, so he had to compromise in the end. She also took the children in her belly very seriously.

Li Chao called Cheng Chumo, Li Gan, Yuchi Baolin and Niu Jianhu, and Cui Yan five times over.

These five guys used to be Li Chao's followers, and they followed wherever they went. But now, they all have their tenderness and have a beard, and they have grown tall and strong.

Especially all of them are third-rank generals, and they are dignified marquis of founding counties. In addition, they have made a lot of money with Li Chao, and they are all rich and generous, so they naturally have some momentum.

Looking at them, Li Chao felt that they were indeed mature and grown up.

After following me in the past few years, I have not been in vain.

Li Chao didn't plan to take them with him any longer. If the eagle wanted to fly in the sky, he had to go out alone and practice.

"I'm going to inspect the northern border, you guys stay. I will ask General Zheng Rentai to take charge of Yingzhou's defense. You, each united department, should assist General Zheng. Please keep an eye on local affairs, but don't interfere easily, wait for me to deal with it after I come back."

Cheng Chumo and his wife heard that they would not take them away, and they were a little surprised and a little disappointed. They had long been used to following Li Chao, and they were both teachers and friends.

"It's so boring to stay. Just leave it to General Zheng alone. We'll follow you to the north."

Li Chao said lightly, "It would be great if Wang Xuance and others follow me. You are all great generals now. You can't be my guard all the time, right? It's time to stand alone."

"I have no ambitions, so I am willing to be a guard for the teacher."

Li Chao's face turned dark, "Do you dare to say this again in front of your father? He will definitely kill you. A great general, and he is also my disciple of Li Chao. After learning so much, just be a guard? Are you promising? Are you not afraid of losing your family name?"

Yuchi Baolin was scolded and had to step down. If he dared to really say that to his father, his father would really beat him up, so he would definitely use the soles of his shoes to beat him.

"Okay, sooner or later, you will have to stand alone, and now you must start to adapt. My Li Chao's disciple will only be the best, not the grass chicken that only dares to hide under the wings of the hen."

On the same day, Li Chao explained to Zheng Rentai, called Lu Zheng and others, explained to them, and set off with 20,000 troops.

Eight thousand cavalry, 12 thousand infantry.

Without white robes, they were all soldiers in the palace. With these soldiers, even if Li Chao went to meet the Xi people and the Khitans, he would not have to be afraid.

The four disciples of Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, Shangguan Yi and Liu Rengui were accompanied. Li Chao had promoted them to the commander of the commander, and each of them was in charge of a battalion. These people were indeed promoted quickly, but they did have real achievements. They were also Li Chao's favorite disciples, and others would only envy them.

When they set off, another person was added to the fourth brother of Wang Xuance.

Butcher Zhu Zhendong.

In the battle of Ruhe, he killed the butcher of eighteen enemies by one, which was very appreciated by Li Chao. In the last battle of Zhaozhuang, he was a wounded soldier who did not participate in the battle, but he was lucky enough to avoid the catastrophe.

Now that the injury is almost healed, when I come back to report, Li Chao saw that he likes his spirit very much, so he specially invited him to get in.

Now he is the lowest-class military disciple among Li Chao's disciples.

"My junior brother, our teacher has countless disciples and students all over the world. But this descendant of the art of war has not many personal disciples who have officially joined the door wall. Remember, our teacher's personal disciples, plus you, now there are eleven."

"Senior brother Su Lie and Su Dingfang, do you know?"

Zhu Zhendong nodded quickly. Who doesn't know that Su Dingfang knew that at the end of the Sui Dynasty, he went to the battlefield to encircle refugees at the age of sixteen. Later, he joined Dou Jiande and was a powerful general. Later, he became a disciple of Li Xiang to study military strategy. In recent years, he has made many military achievements with Li Xiang in recent years. Now he is a third-rank general, and he is also a guardian of the north and has a title of county duke. He has a real territory of 120 miles.

Su Dingfang's experience is legendary. In fact, he is much older than his teacher Li Xiang, but he is Li Xiang's most proud disciple.

Below Su Dingfang, there were nine senior brothers, Cheng Chumo, Niu Jianhu, Li Gan, Yuchi Baolin, Cui Yan, and then there were the four in front of him, Wang Xuance, Gao Kan, Shangguan Yi and Liu Rengui, plus him, Zhu Zhendong, there were exactly eleven.

The teacher’s disciples are ranked in order of entry regardless of age.

"Remember, Brother Cheng and his brothers got started early, and they have been with their teachers for many years. They have been through life and death, fought in the south and north, and have learned a lot of real skills and made many contributions. Therefore, they are now all the founding county marquises with a total of 100 miles, and are also the third-rank martial arts rank, and are all generals in their actual positions."

"As for the four of us, we started late, but we have also experienced a lot with our teachers and senior brothers in the past two years. Now we are also the commander."

Lao Zhu hurriedly said, "I heard that the four senior brothers have made many achievements and may be awarded the title this year. Congratulations."

Wang Xuance couldn't help but feel a little excited. From the candidates in the martial arts lecture hall to the current commander, to the possibility of being awarded a title, how amazing it is.

"Feng Jue is not so easy to seal. Don't listen to people's nonsense, don't spread it." He said modestly.

"Okay, we have said everything we should say. You are also a lieutenant now, much better than us in the past. Do it well and don't lose our teacher's reputation!"
