Chapter 119 The Gambling Northern Expedition

Liu Chengyou didn't know where Zhao Yanshou's confidence came from. Anyway, he himself was not sure of the possibility of success, even if it looked at the situation, the chance was not small.Although he proposed to advance the plan, Yoo Seung-woo did not have too much expectation.

The plan itself is a very risky gamble.If it succeeds, the new dynasty will be able to avoid the deadly threat from Khitan to the Southern Dynasty for a long time to come, and it will do its best to clean up the country, develop its national strength, and pave the way for the future Northern Expedition to recapture Youji; This earth-shattering will affect Yeluruan's process of seizing the throne, reduce Youyan's war potential, and make Youyan a burden for the Liao Kingdom in a short period of time. In this regard, Liu Chengyou has some confidence in Zhao Yanshou.

In short, the Khitan people cannot be made easy.But regardless of success or failure, one thing is certain, the people of Youji will never have a better life in the future, even worse than under the rule of the Khitan people.

In fact, Khitan has been in a difficult situation for a long time. After several years of military aggression, most of the money from the Central Plains and Hebei has been lost. The young and strong have suffered serious losses. Coupled with the dispute over the throne, the sequelae have already broken out.The Khitan people in this situation, even if Liu Chengyou didn't come to such a trick, as long as Liu Jiajiangshan himself had no problems, he would never dare to look south within a few years.

"King Yan is confident, and I have added a bit of confidence!" Liu Chengyou continued to show a good attitude towards Zhao Yanshou.

"The land of Youyan is first in Jicheng, and the rest are not worth mentioning. Although the Khitan Lord has shown enough importance to Youzhou, but looking at its layout, it is full of mistakes. If I were me, I would definitely concentrate all my forces on Youzhou will never waste its troops on the southern front and do useless harassment. In order to ensure the safety of Youzhou, it is okay to abandon Tai, Mo and even Zhuozhou. His previous strategy of sending troops to plunder and drive people south, Actually, it's pretty good." Zhao Yanshou pointed Jiang Shan with joy. "Zhending is more than [-] miles away from Youzhou. You only need to garrison troops and fortify the city to be invincible!"

Zhao Yanshou still has a say in You Yan's matter.Seeing this, Liu Chengyou cupped his hands, and said sincerely: "Listen to what King Yan said, and he suddenly understood."

"I'm afraid the Khitan people would never have imagined that Your Highness has such boldness that he dares to accept me as a surrender. If Your Highness leads the troops from Hedong to the north, they will be defeated under the fortified city. But when I command Yan Bingerlang to go north, I will return home and return to the land." " Zhao Yanshou said without any scruples, confident.

A dark and cold look flashed in Liu Chengyou's eyes, but the lines of his face softened, and he quietly listened to Zhao Yanshou's bragging.

"In Naye Law Jie, I know this person very well. He is cruel, tyrannical, headstrong, and tyrannical. The Khitan Lord left him to guard Youzhou, haha." Zhao Yanshou couldn't help laughing as he said.

Zhao Yanshou is very confident. Confidence is a good thing, as long as you don't get beaten up after going north.As long as Zhao Yanshou can meet half of the expectations, Liu Chengyou is willing to listen to his rebelliousness and watch his arrogance.

Zhao Yanshou is too familiar with Youzhou, the roads, rivers, city checkpoints, he is very familiar with it, and Liu Chengyou found out the situation of the Liao army's defenses, and made a plan for marching early.

At the head of Puyin city, staring at the Yan soldiers going north, the smoke and dust swept across, Liu Chengyou frowned, his heart was beating very fast, when the matter came to an end, he suddenly had the urge to send someone to recall the Yan soldiers.His cheeks turned red, and Liu Chengyou actually smiled, but his smile was a little pale.

"Your Highness." Wei Renpu couldn't help calling.

"Mr. Wei, tell me, what will be the result of Zhao Yanshou's departure? Will he betray my trust?" Liu Chengyou asked quietly.

Previously, Liu Chengyou had been full of confidence and determination, but at this point where he couldn't turn around, he showed some hesitation.As soon as the psychological opening was opened, all the scruples that had been suppressed by him all surged up.

From the bottom of his heart, Liu Chengyou actually attached great importance to this action. Although it was a gambling adventure, and he said that winning or losing didn't matter, he didn't want to lose the bet at all.However, he was the one who started the game. After entering the gambling table, the gambler was no longer him, and everything became out of control. Liu Chengyou didn't like this feeling of losing control.

Probably able to understand Liu Chengyou's psychology at this time, Wei Renpu did not say some preaching or comforting words, but firmly strengthened his confidence: "His Royal Highness has made full preparations during this period, whether it succeeds or not, the best result And the worst plan is in the planning, no need to worry anymore!"

Feeling Wei Renpu's decisive tone, it obviously had a positive effect, and Liu Chengyou's expression returned to normal at a speed visible to the naked eye, extinguishing the last trace of hesitation in his heart.

"It's up to people to plan things, but it's up to God to make things happen. You can't force it!" Almost word by word, Liu Chengyou uttered a famous saying.

"Let's get back to the truth!" Liu Chengyou said: "He Fujin, Luo Yanxuan, and Li Yun are ordered to attack, and then give Zhao Yanshou their support!"

On the fifth day after Yeluruan led his army northward to Youyan, Zhao Yanshou, the King of Yan, swore an oath to his master in Puyin, and marched towards Youzhou with the Yan soldiers who Liu Chengyou mixed a lot of sand with him.There is no sneaking. In this flat land, it is too difficult to cover up the movement of the army on foot and cavalry. Fortunately, there is a lot of fanfare.

Hearing the news, Liaonan stayed in Yelu Jieli and immediately ordered the defenders along the way to intercept it.Yang'an in Mozhou and Yelucheng in Dingzhou attacked Zhao Yanshou from east and west directions. At this time, Liu Chengyou also sent troops from Hejian and cooperated with Zhao Yanshou to create the illusion of a three-way northern expedition, attracting Liao. The army's attention shared a great deal of pressure on Zhao Yanshou.

The land of Youyan has actually been free from war for more than ten years, but with the return of the Yan soldiers, the flames of war have struck this land again.At the same time, a wave of "anti-Liao" also swept in, and the situation became turbulent.

The battle in Youzhou requires speed, but how fast it can be is out of control.The opportunity is there, and it is up to Zhao Yanshou whether he can seize the opportunity.

After the summer solstice, the weather continued to move towards midsummer. I decided to stay here for a long time. After discussing with Liu Chengyou, I packed the truck and Liu Chengxun prepared to escort the goods and goods, and headed south to Tokyo.

In front of the south gate, Liu Chengyou saw Liu Chengxun off, saying how much they cherished each other. More than 100 carts of gold, silver, jade, money and silk, plus horses, cattle, sheep and other livestock, are only the first batch.No matter how much, it is not what Liu Chengxun's three thousand soldiers can bear.

"Brother, I'll see you off soon, have a good trip!" Holding a cup to toast Liu Chengxun, Liu Chengyou said softly.

"Erlang, see you in Tokyo!" Liu Chengxun showed that kind of smile that makes people feel refreshed, and then assured Liu Chengyou: "I will meet Chen's father about the matter of Youyan when I arrive in Tokyo!"

"Yang Ye! Take your people and defend His Highness well!" Liu Chengyou turned his head and ordered Yang Ye who was waiting at the side.

"Yes!" Yang Ye replied bluntly.Under Liu Chengyou's order, he led a battalion of horsemen to accompany him for safety.

"Be careful all the way." The voice was still very soft, Liu Chengyou said simply.

"Treasure!" Liu Chengxun bid farewell.

The group traveled far and gradually, this was the second wave of people that Liu Chengyou sent away in the past two days.Looking at the carts of wealth, Liu Chengyou's thoughts suddenly drifted a little, money is touching, there is no shortage of desperadoes who are greedy for money in this world, if there is an accident on the road, wouldn't it be
Probably because the sun was too hot, Liu Chengxun's humble face appeared in his mind, and Liu Chengyou found that his heart was a little dark.

The status is wrong!
