Han Shizu

Chapter 1323
"Here we come!" Hearing the actions of Ma Renxuan's army, Yelu Xiezhen frowned even more tightly, but he didn't panic, and said in a deep voice: "If the actions of the Koreans are true, then the Han army is really strong enough." Strong, is this an enemy of the North and the South?"

"Send people secretly to the south to contact the Koreans. They also feel the threat of the Southern Dynasty! Since they dare to send troops to the north, they must have the intention of going to war with the Han army!" After thinking for a long time, Yelu Xiezhen instructed: " Tell the Goryeo people that Daliao is willing to work with them to fight against the Han, and the land of Liaodong is up to them to choose."

If it was the past, if the Koreans were involved in the Han-Liao War, then Yelu Xiezhen would only be on guard, but now, they are warmly welcome.As for the promise, there is nothing to be reluctant about. If Goryeo has the ability, it doesn't matter if they give up the entire Northeast to them. The premise is that they have the appetite.

In any case, at this time, if the Liaodong Han army fights with the Koreans, it will be a good thing for the Liao State, and it will definitely restrain the Han army and relieve the pressure on his side.

"Yes!"

After thinking for a while, Yelu Xiezhen still felt that there was room for him to use. He wandered in the hall for a while, then quickly returned to his seat, spread out a piece of silk, wrote a letter quickly, and then closed his own big seal.

He picked up the silk book, checked it, dried the ink, looked at his subordinates, and said solemnly: "Choose another dead man and take this book to the south! Be sure to confess that this letter must fall into the hands of the Han army properly. .”

The subordinate was stupefied and didn't understand, but he paid attention to Yelu Xiezhen's expression, which seemed to have a cunning temperament at this time, and then he reacted belatedly: "Your Majesty is trying to create a wedge between you?"

"No!" Yelu Xiezhen shook his head, and said calmly, "As long as the Han army and Goryeo don't really fight, there is room for recovery. This book is just a push!"

In fact, compared with the assists from Goryeo, Yelu Xiezhen is looking forward to more support from the Liao court in Shangjing.If Ye Luxian can give Northeast full support, then there is still a chance for him to make a comeback. At least the hope of suppressing the rear rebellion and defending the Songliao Plain will be greatly increased.

However, judging from the previous situation, the imperial court had already chosen to give up, no longer had confidence in him and Tokyo Road, and it was even more impossible to invest the final capital in the quagmire of the Northeast.

As for Yeluxian and Liao Tinghuo, they obviously also had their considerations. They had to consider the overall situation, and it was difficult to achieve unity with Yelu Xiezhen.After all, when the situation developed to the end and got out of hand, the nomadic nature of the Khitan Dynasty became more prominent, and the grassland was its foundation.

When Yelu Xiezhen was devoting himself to resisting the Han army and defending the Northeast, Emperor Liu did not relax at all. He sat in Youzhou and personally asked about the situation on all fronts.For this reason, I worry about a few strands of white hair on the temples.

Due to the coolness of autumn, Youzhou Xing had already set up a charcoal stove in the dormitory, while Emperor Liu huddled on the hot kang, his old cold legs began to respond again, so he paid more attention to maintenance up.

Concubine Xian was ordered to wait by the couch and take care of her carefully.Almost enduring his nausea, he swallowed a mouthful of the medicine soup, and Emperor Liu pushed away the medicine bowl in Mrs. Zhe's hand: "Don't drink it!"

Even if the medicinal soup is not so bitter, it is medicine after all, and it is not so delicious.However, Zhe Niang still stubbornly took a spoonful and handed it to Emperor Liu's mouth: "It's only half a bowl away!"

"It's three-part poison, almost enough!" Emperor Liu shook his head.

But under the "forced" by Zhe Niangzi, he still drank another spoonful, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped his mouth, and couldn't help coughing a few times.Seeing this, Zhe Niang hurriedly put down the medicine bowl and lightly beat his back.

Beside the couch, Prince Liu Yang, Duke Qin Liu Xu, and Duke Jin Liu Xi were all present.Hearing Emperor Liu's empty cough, Liu Yang said with concern: "Father, please take care of your body!"

"It's nothing serious!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and responded, "It's just a cold, I'm not that fragile!"

His voice was obviously hoarse, and after drinking half a bowl of medicinal soup, the discomfort in his throat also eased a little.Every autumn and winter, colds and colds are unavoidable, and Emperor Liu is also a little helpless about the decline in his physical fitness.

Leaning back against the pillow, he took a while, and then Emperor Liu turned his attention to his three sons, mainly Liu Yang and Liu Xu who had returned to Youzhou for their mission, and Liu Xi was accompanying him.

During this period of time, Liu Xu has been patrolling the Yanshan Road, and even went north into the mountains to visit the front line of Wang Yanchao's army.As for Liu Yang, after receiving the approval of Emperor Liu, he also temporarily put aside the military and political affairs of Liaodong, handed them over to Zhao Kuangyin and Gao Huaide, and hurried back to Youzhou Mianjun.

"I'm fine, don't stand still, sit down!" Pointing to the three chairs, Emperor Liu said softly.

"Yes!" The three princes sat down neatly.

Looking at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu looked very gentle, and said, "It's been more than half a year, and you've worked hard as a commander in the front line! I understand your performance in the army, it's very good, keep it up!"

On Liu Yang's young face, there are obvious traces of hard work and effort, with deep bags under the eyes and a weather-beaten face.But listening to Emperor Liu's caring words, he was suddenly moved. For him, perhaps there is nothing more gratifying than being affirmed by Emperor Liu.

"As long as I don't disappoint you, I will be satisfied!" Liu Yang sighed: "I rely on my father's teaching, and there are still many embarrassing things. Please guide me!"

When he said this, Liu Yang subconsciously relaxed a little, and his tone was full of emotion, obviously he had also endured a lot of pressure in front of the army.

"As the commander-in-chief, I should be the most important of the three armies!" Emperor Liu could also feel some of his feelings, and said with a light smile: "I heard that you have sent troops south to attack Goryeo on your own initiative?"

"Yes!" Upon hearing the question, Liu Yang cheered up immediately, and replied: "My son is returning to Youzhou this time, not only to visit and say hello, but also to report and ask you for advice on this matter!"

"Say!"

Liu Yang said: "Korea came to the north to provoke and be ambitious. We must not agree to his unreasonable request! During the full-scale confrontation between Han and Liao, Goryeo wants to take advantage of the opportunity, and the big man cannot allow it. Otherwise, he will be greedy and will only ask for more. Therefore, After business discussions, it was agreed that instead of allowing Goryeo to take advantage of the fire to rob, it is better to take the lead in launching troubles and extinguish its ambitions.

Moreover, after planning by the generals, it was believed that the gathering of troops in Goryeo might be menacing, but only their naval forces could pose a major threat to the big man.Eliminate their navy, and most of the threat from Korea will be eliminated.

Therefore, the old general Guo Tingwei has led the East China Sea naval warships to the south, heading straight for the Koryo Sea. It is reported that their navy is concentrated in Shaocheng Port on the west coast of the West Country.As long as we can seize its main force and fight at sea, our army will surely win!

As for the land, the old officials of the Liao Kingdom in the distant cities have already surrendered, and General Shi Yande has been sent to accept the defense before.Before his son returned, An Guogong led [-] troops to the south and stationed in Laiyuan City to deal with the Koryo army on the other side of the Yalu River.

Counting the time, the due result came! "

"Since you and Xingying have discussed and made a decision, I have no problem here, and I support your decision!" Hearing what he said, Emperor Liu smiled lightly: "Just hit it, little Goryeo, and you don't need to spend any more money with them Tongue!"

"Thank you for your support!" Liu Yang felt slightly relieved, and then cupped his hands and said, "Soldiers are precious and fast, so they have already dispatched troops before the report. After all, it involves the relationship between the Han and Koryo. After the war, I was also quite apprehensive!"

Liu Yang's words were a little tentative. Emperor Liu looked him up and down, smiled slightly, his hoarse voice was somewhat magnetic, and said calmly: "My previous edict has delegated the power of decision-making to the In your hands, you can decide how to make decisions. Don’t talk about sending troops, even if you choose to be more conservative, take a step back and compromise with Korea, I will not have any opinions.”

Although Emperor Liu's words fell into Liu Yang's ears lightly, he did not feel relaxed.He raised his eyes and noticed Emperor Liu's calm face, although it was rosy with a little fever, it still looked unfathomable.

He is not a mediocre person, even though his reaction was relatively slow, he quickly recalled what Emperor Liu said.Before that, the confusion that had been lingering in my heart became clear, and the matter of Korea was another test for myself.

As Emperor Liu said, no matter what decision he made, he would indeed support it, but on this matter, Emperor Liu obviously had a bias in his heart.

If he really chose to be conservative and compromise, then what would Emperor Liu think in his heart if he didn't say anything?
After all, your heart is unpredictable!
