Chapter 727 Layout
"The Lord of Liao Kingdom Yelu Jing was assassinated!" Wei Renpu walked into the living room with an excited look on his face, "Xiao Siwen and Yelu Xizhen and other generals to support Yelu Xian as the emperor, and the troops have been sent to the capital!"
Guo Shao's so-called palace is a small courtyard of a wealthy family. There are two coffee tables and a few chairs in the living room. He sat on the chair and was shocked when he heard the news.
Although the loss of Youzhou, it is expected that there may be problems in the Liao Kingdom, but this is too fast! An emperor will die if he says he dies?
Guo Shao asked, "Did Xiao Siwen do it?"
Wei Renpu said, "I don't know that the rumor was that the cook was acting. The Liao king suspected that the cook was slow to cook and angrily scolded him for killing him. Several close servants and the cook were afraid of the usual cruel actions of the Liao king. In fear, he killed the Liao king with a kitchen knife!"
He said in a deep voice: "It is impossible to know whether Xiao Siwen is instructing him behind the scenes. Xiao Siwen will not admit it either."
Guo Shao sighed secretly. Although the lord of Liao was not a hero, he was the emperor of a big country and died under the chef's kitchen knife!
Wei Renpu said: "After Xiao Siwen escaped from Youzhou, he quickly defended himself. He said that the king of Liao wanted to abandon Youzhou and ignored it, and only wanted to delay the time, which led to almost mutiny in Youzhou Liao army. In desperate situation, Xiao Siwen opened the city to fight, but his strength was disparate and he did not win... He did not escape, but was controlled by his generals."
After hearing this, Guo Shao was speechless and remembered that Xiao Siwen sent a letter of war to the bright future...
It seems that there is a decisive battle, and many people can testify. But in fact, the battle is no wonder. As soon as the East Gate matches, Xiao Siwen broke through the West Gate and ran faster than the rabbit!
Guo Shao originally thought that only the Han officials in the Central Plains were best at this trick. Now it seems that the Liao people are not bad, and even those who are black can be said to be white.
Wei Renpu presented a copy of the file in Chinese with both hands, saying: "Xiao Siwen has issued a manifesto, circulating all over the country, and complained to the lord of Liao Kingdom Yelu Jing for fifty crimes! He said that Yelu Jing is the most foolish, cruel, and erotic in history. He can't even bear some words, such as eating human brains, babies, and summoning his daughter to sleep... Your Majesty forgives his crimes, which is really humiliating the saints...
In this way, if the Liao Kingdom has such a monarch in power, how can it not be disturbed? Yelu Jing is the culprit in everything!"
Guo Shao listened quietly while watching the manifesto. He had never seen Yelu Jing before, and he did not know the details of the Liao Dynasty's government. It was difficult to be sure whether Yelu Jing was that bad.
Based on his personal opinion alone, Yelu Jing was at least not that stupid! Otherwise, in the chaos after Emperor Taizong of Liao, only Yelu Jing had been sitting for the longest time! It was not easy for the emperor to sit in that mess. It would be difficult for Yelu Jing to be stable for so many years.
But one thing Guo Shao could be sure of: Xiao Siwen and Liao were in a state of peace, and Yelu Jing needed to be so bad, the worse the better; otherwise who would take the blame? The accumulated corruption and chaos created in the past have long been dead, and it is not clear, and it can only be considered the most appropriate for a failed emperor!
Wei Renpu continued: "Even Yelu Xiu Ge was in trouble. Yelu Xiu Ge was famous in Liao Kingdom and was known as the "No. 1 Tiger General of the Great Liao Dynasty". Now he has become a traitor who relies on the favor of the Liao Kingdom to command soldiers. His previous military achievements were overthrown. To suppress the rebellion, he first provoked and forced other tribes to rebel, and then slaughtered civilians for fame; to capture Yizhou, Zhou Kingdom, and to take advantage of the situation and kill the people to report the battle formation.
After Yelu Xiuge attracted the Zhou army, his true form was revealed. He was incompetent and made no achievements. Then he reinforced Youzhou to use random soldiers. This was the biggest sinner who caused the Liao Kingdom to lose Youzhou!"
When Guo Shao heard this, he remembered Yelu Xiuge's flexible use of troops during the first Northern Expedition, and naturally did not agree with the conclusion of the Liao Kingdom.
He couldn't help but sigh, feeling that many things were clouds.
Xiao Siwen and Guo Shao thought he would die, and wondered how he could save his life... As a result, he did such a big deal, which was a bit underestimated by this person. The depth of his cunning layout was completely beyond Guo Shao's expectations!
Now Guo Shao didn't care about the grievances and grievances of the Liao Kingdom, and the sighs that the heights were so cold. He said very directly and simply: "It is said that all the ministers came in to see each other. At this time, the Liao Kingdom had no time to look south. Let's immediately deploy the conquest of Yunzhou, Wuzhou, and Pingzhou!"
Guo Shao didn't even need to look at the map. He had already thought about the places in the north for many times, and decided on the general idea casually.
Yunzhou is Datong, which is the first entrance to the Mongolian Plateau into the Hedong area.
Wuzhou is Zhangjiakou, which looks from west to east, and is also the second barrier in the northern barrier of the Central Plains.
Pingzhou, the mouth of the Liaoxi Corridor, controls and jailuguan, which is the fortress of Shanhaiguan, the world's number one pass, and the eastern important area of the northern defense line.
As long as the Great Zhou occupies these three states and controls the land south of the three states, the eastern half of the entire territory can rely on the terrain, and the Great Wall forms a thick and solid barrier! You can attack and retreat and defend; if you want to enter the Central Plains, the first thing the ethnic groups in the north face is the long and difficult iron wall.
The Sixteen Prefectures of Youyun will also include most of them in the Great Zhou territory.
There is only one Yingzhou left, which is far away on the northeast edge of the western Liaoning region. Guo Shao does not want to rush to collect it for the time being. That involves a further strategic direction. The court has not yet made a decision...
There are two reasons why there is no need to worry. First, Yingzhou is a stronghold for the development of Liaodong region, which is equivalent to the purpose of the Tang Dynasty setting up four towns in the Western Regions, and does not affect the complete defense line. Second, although that place belonged to the Central Plains during the Tang Dynasty, it was just a stronghold and was later lost. Over the years, most of it was the population activities of various ethnic groups such as Khitan, Xi, and Jurchens. The Han people had already transformed into Hu, and the Great Zhou lacked a population base there and was difficult to control in a short period of time.
Not long after, the generals entered the living room one after another.
This house is really not a convenient place for office work. The upper part is a table with incense and no seats; Guo Shao sat on a chair on the top of the left.
Dong Zunhui came in first and greeted Guo Shao with his fists. Guo Shao said casually: "If you have a chair, sit."
Dong Zunhui glanced at the scene of the room and said, "Thank you, it's better to stand still."
Guo Shao noticed his gaze and glanced at the remaining chairs. Because he was sitting on the left, the two chairs opposite could not dare to sit... on an equal footing with the emperor. There were only four chairs left. When Li Chuyun and others came in together, it seemed that Dong Zunhui would not be the turn.
Guo Shao said casually for a moment, "General Dong is good at shooting archery and is good at leading troops. Being able to keenly observe the surrounding environment and make quick judgments is really a necessary quality for good generals."
Dong Zunhui was very happy to be praised and bowed and said, "I dare not take responsibility for the praise of Your Majesty."
After a while, Shi Yanchao walked in. He heard that he was given a seat. Without saying a word, he found a chair to sit down before talking.
