When the weather got warmer and the flowers bloomed in spring, Liu Yu formally declared war on Rouran under the slogan of conquering the land of the Central Plains from the barbarians.

He originally wanted to send Xiao Daocheng, Wang Renli, and Chu Zhanzhi to the front line in turn as he did when he attacked the Northern Wei Dynasty earlier, but considering that Wang Renli and Chu Zhanzhi were too old to be on the front line anymore, So it was postponed, and a few other young generals were selected to go out.

Chu Yuan was also in the ranks of the expedition, but Liu Yu saved his hand and did not really let him rush to the forefront to fight hard. Instead, he deliberately explained to the other generals accompanying him that the newly promoted Wan Huhou was in charge of supervising the army. Take good care of him.

Liu Yu's preparations for this war were not just for Chu Yuan to train troops in the Yellow River Basin. Su Tao and his men worked hard for a whole year for this, and produced more than [-] sets of armor.

The style of the armor was modified by Liu Yu based on the armor used by later generations. Although his personality is weird and weird, after all, he once had a hot-blooded puberty in the second year of middle school. Boys generally like to pay attention to this aspect.

He couldn't help sighing melancholy when he drew the style map and handed it over to Su Tao. It was during the Wei, Jin, Southern and Northern Dynasties, restricted by the times, he couldn't stretch his ambitions.

Liu Yu always felt that he was cast by the underworld. If he was reborn in Tang, Song, Yuan, Ming and Qing dynasties, he would definitely live a more comfortable life than he is now. The Southern and Northern Dynasties were so poor that many of his ideas were impossible to realize.

To give the simplest example, the so-called metal armor is actually not cost-effective. The metal smelting technology in this era is still quite immature, and the cost of manufacturing metal armor is too high.

In his previous life, Liu Yu failed the chemistry exam, so he managed to remember the little common sense that "if Zeng Qing gets iron, it will turn into copper".But he remembered how to use cotton to make a cotton armor that could resist arrows. This thing was widely used in the Qing Dynasty because of its convenience, low cost and obvious effect.

It's a pity to look at today's Dayu, not to mention the so-called cotton armor, even the cotton seeds have not been passed in yet, Liu Yu is willing to send envoys across the ocean, but it's a pity that even sea ships have not been invented in this era .

Both Li Ping and Wang Gougou felt that although the news from the front line was going well, their emperor's mood was not high.

Liu Yu lazily looked forward with his cheeks resting on his shoulders, his eyes were empty and he didn't know what he was thinking.

Wang Gougou looked at Li Ping, and after the two exchanged a few secret glances, he came over with a teapot and graciously helped Liu Yu fill up the teacup: "Your Majesty, Ergou doesn't know what's bothering you. Just ask Your Majesty to take care of the dragon body."

Liu Yu came back to his senses, looked up at him with interest, and said softly: "I didn't say that, Ergou, your mouth has become more and more eloquent recently?"

Wang Gougou had a slight look of color on his face, quickly covered it up, looked at him and said earnestly: "Ergou just cares about His Majesty from the bottom of his heart, please take care of His Majesty."

Liu Yu laughed loudly, twisted his wrist, and seeing Wang Gougou's cheeks flushed, he suddenly put away his smile, and said expressionlessly: "Next time you recite the words that Ermao gave you, remember to change them yourself. Change, as long as you can say something of this level, I can tell it's a lie as soon as I hear it."

When Wang Gougou heard this, he was dumbfounded, turned his head with a wooden face, and found that Li Ping was rolling his eyes at him with a look of hatred for iron.

Liu Yudao: "I'm fine, there's no need for you two to try to make me happy—Ermao, with Ergou's brains, it's impossible for me to think of this step—remember I've already warned you, Stop being smart."

Li Ping secretly sighed in her heart, she was really unlucky, obviously Wang Ergou, a hopelessly stupid idiot, made things self-defeating, but unexpectedly, the emperor would turn around and settle accounts with her.

People were unlucky and even drank cold water and stuffed their teeth. Li Ping quickly knelt down and apologized.After this little trial, she has come to understand that Liu Yu's anger is obviously not gone, and she has to keep her tail between her legs for a while.

Liu Yu actually saw her little trick, but he didn't expose it. He was still very tolerant of the cleverness of his subordinates. On the contrary, Li Ping's behavior proved from the side that this person has a very high emotional intelligence. Said it was quite satisfactory.

After all, Li Ping was the most useful person under his command after Su Tao, with such a smart person serving him, Liu Yu was also very relieved.

Although he was very dissatisfied with Li Ping's talkativeness before, he still couldn't just beat someone to death with a stick just because of a mistake.

Liu Yu reckoned that since Li Ping had already shown remorse, why not find an appropriate time to forgive her and just find a way for both parties to step down.

——————————————————————————————————————

Although the large imperial army carrying heavy siege equipment and new standard armor is slightly inferior to Rouran's cavalry in terms of overall combat effectiveness, the generals who lead the army are better at marching and deploying troops. It's fifty five.

However, the number of the Royal Army far exceeds that of the Rouran Tribe. At the beginning of the war, the two armies managed to maintain a stalemate with equal combat effectiveness between the enemy and the enemy. However, after half a year, the Rouran Tribe became obviously weak.

Liu Yu sat on the dragon chair and watched the news from the front, and couldn't help but sneer slightly: "If Rouran didn't annex one-third of the territory of the Northern Wei Dynasty, it is still unknown who will win and who will lose in this war."

What do these words mean? Anyway, Wang Gougou can't understand. In order to cover up his ignorance, he can only choose to lower his head and pretend that he didn't hear it.

Li Ping could hear it clearly, and her mind could easily figure out the joints, and said seriously: "If Rouran wasn't so greedy, she wouldn't have fallen into such a fate."

Rouran itself has relatively few people. With the support of the military-civilian ratio that is not much different from that of Dayu, the number of troops is even smaller. In this way, the insufficient people are scattered on a wider land, and it is impossible to form a sufficient and effective army. resist.

Liu Yu added: "Rou Ran is better at fighting in the snow and on the ice. If the battle line advances northward as a whole, it is estimated that our army's casualties will increase significantly."

Wang Gougou found that he really couldn't understand the conversation between these two people, so he could only obediently shut his mouth and bow his head in silence.

Liu Yu looked around and said, "I reckon, I will issue a military order tomorrow to bring Chu Yuan back, and send another person to supervise the army."

Seeing that the conflict is becoming more and more intense, and there is still at most half a year before the final attack can be launched, I heard that Rouran has already started jumping over the wall in a hurry, sending a large number of spies, trying to assassinate the senior generals and officials distributed by the front line, Chu Yuan, as the person who controls the movement of the army The supervisor should be the most dangerous of all.

Liu Yu didn't intend to waste his good friends in such a senseless place, Chu Yuan was very kind to him in every aspect, and besides, he had made various sacrifices for him after all, There's no need to risk your life this time.

But correspondingly, someone has to be sent to the front line to serve as a military supervisor. Everyone knows that this job is not easy to do now, and they hang their heads on the edge of the knife every day. Liu Yu is really a little bit confused about who should be sent there next. Can't make up my mind.

The person who helped him solve this trouble was He Ji. He Ji came to him alone, saying that he hoped that he could go to the front line to serve as the supervisor of the army.

He Ji is not completely lacking in martial arts, he is slightly inferior to Chu Yuan, but it is still not bad. Under normal circumstances, he is not helpless in the face of assassination, but it is difficult to protect himself.

After listening to his words, Liu Yu sat on the high dragon chair and looked down at him, his eyes flickering slightly: "If you go, you'll be fine if you come back alive, but if you die on the front line, don't think that I can still do it for you." You shed a few tears."

Seeing that we are about to part with each other, how can we put it in a nicer way?He Ji couldn't help slandering in his heart, and with a calm expression on his face, he said earnestly: "The minister's heart is very confused recently, and he doesn't know what to do. Why don't you hand over the decision-making power to the heavens and let the gods help you make decisions."

It wasn't just Liu Yuken's refusal to accept him, but He Ji himself was also a little unsure. What he was afraid of was not making sacrifices for Liu Yu, but that he would not get the slightest return after making a great sacrifice.

Chu Yuan did everything he could to ruin himself, and after more than ten years of hard work, he finally became a real pair with Liu Yu. He Ji really felt that with Chu Yuan in front of him, the possibility of his success was very real. Not too optimistic.

After struggling like this, He Ji finally gritted his teeth. He felt that he might as well go to the front line. If he died in the front line, he would be considered a sacrifice for the country anyway, showing his passion.

If he is lucky enough to come back alive, then he can also deceive himself and tell himself that God is on his side after all, and he must persevere even if the process is difficult, maybe he can really impress Liu Yu .

After listening to his call, Liu Yu thought about it carefully, but laughed, nodded and said: "He Aiqing is always loyal to the country, so naturally I can't stop it, let you go."

He Ji took a deep look at him, his little eyes were extremely complicated, he didn't say much, he knelt on the ground nine times silently, got up and left neatly.
