Chapter 1396 Border Love
"Your Majesty, Privy Councilor Cao seeks an audience!" The servant's report interrupted the conversation between Emperor Liu and the Crown Prince.

"Could it be that there is some change in the military situation?" Liu Yang also cast his eyes outside and asked in question.Generally speaking, it is not a trivial matter to need Cao Bin, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, to personally attend the meeting.

"Xuan!" Emperor Liu didn't have any troubles on his face, he just raised his hand slightly.

Soon, Cao Bin was like a palace, walking forward, bowing and saluting, still calm, every move and every move, his mood seemed to never change.

Looking at Cao Bin, Emperor Liu didn't talk nonsense, and asked directly: "What happened, please come here personally?"

Cao Bin answered calmly: "Report to Your Majesty, the Battle Report of the Western Regions!"

"Oh!" Emperor Liu sat up all of a sudden, looked at Liu Yang, and said, "Speak!"

Cao Bin said: "Guo Jin played up, the king of the Western Regions has already defeated the enemy army, Luntai and Beiting have planted Han flags all over the place, and more than [-] Khitan remnants are all defeated. Yelv Dilie, king of Liao Anping, is our army. Prisoner!"

"Very good!" Hearing the news, Emperor Liu immediately smiled, and quickly restrained himself, still not forgetting to ask with concern: "Where are Yang Ye and the expeditionary army?"

"Yang and Wang, the two commanders, led the expeditionary soldiers, crossed the desert in the south, attacked the Beiting, and then marched westward, joining forces with Guo Jinjun and Luntai! The two thousand soldiers have been properly taken care of. Yang Ye and other generals are safe and sound. Only Old General Wang can't bear his burden, and his illness has relapsed!" Cao Bin said.

"It's not easy!" Emperor Liu sighed softly. However, he was in a good mood when he heard the report, and immediately instructed: "The soldiers of the Northwest have beaten the enemy hard, expanded the territory, and made outstanding achievements. They should be rewarded. Draw up and inform the world to encourage their meritorious service. A meritorious minister should record a list and report it, and the Ministry of War will reward him!"

"Yes!" Cao Bin replied calmly.

The slightly raised emotions quickly calmed down. Looking at Cao Bin's still calm face, Emperor Liu couldn't help but joked: "It's obviously good news, Cao Qing has such an expression and such a reaction. What bad news!"

Cao Bin was slightly stupefied when he heard the words, and noticed Emperor Liu's smiling eyes. After realizing it, his face was a little turbulent, and he raised his hands and said, "I am also delighted to get this good news!"

"Okay, I won't make fun of you anymore!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and continued: "It's not easy for soldiers from the Northwest to go on an expedition, let Guo Jin choose [-] soldiers to come to Beijing to have an audience!
In addition, the soldiers of the expedition, who rode out of Mobei on Qingqi, went through life and death, went through hardships, and returned from adversity. They need to be appeased, and all of them are called to Beijing. I want to comfort them personally!

Wang Yansheng, Yang Ye, Guo Jin, Wang Shenqi and other generals have all worked hard and made great achievements, and they all return to Beijing!The same goes for brothers Liu Fang and Liu Min. The Privy Council drafted it and circulated it as soon as possible! "

"Yes!" Cao Bin responded immediately.

"As soon as this report comes, we have a temporary understanding of the war in the Western Regions. The Privy Council will start to deal with the aftermath and military deployment, and then we will start to make arrangements!" Emperor Liu confessed to Cao Bin: "I just have one idea. , In the next short period of time, the Northwest will strive for stability, and if it is not necessary, do not start a war, and put peace and order first.

The Western Regions are remote and thousands of miles away. It is easy to obtain, but it takes more trouble to keep it. For military defense, it is necessary to consider the court's ability to bear it. On the premise of maintaining law and order and defense, it is necessary to reduce the burden as much as possible. Plan well! "

"Obey!" Cao Bin replied.

"Soldiers returning from the east, send someone to greet them, to show how much I and the court care about them!" Emperor Liu ordered Liu Yang again.

"Yes!" Liu Yang smiled.

"The imperial court should come up with a plan for the governance of the vast areas of Iraq and Gao! In the past ten years, the Western Regions were in the hands of the Liao Kingdom. Human harmony should also be taken as a warning! I don't want the Western Regions to be in a turbulent situation. How to naturalize its people and bring about its law and order must be well thought out and thoughtful!" Emperor Liu looked at Liu Yang: " You should also keep an eye on this matter, and listen to the opinions of officials in the Northwest who are familiar with local customs and customs!"

"Yes!" Liu Yang's expression was serious, a little solemn.

"The affairs of the Western Regions are over for a while, and it can be regarded as a relief to the court's itching!" Emperor Liu lay down again, and said softly in a relaxed posture: "Next, the big man can focus on restoring the national strength and concentrate on dealing with the Liao Kingdom! "

In an understatement, Emperor Liu's tone was extremely harsh. Even though the Liao Kingdom had been severely hit during the Kaibao Northern Expedition, Emperor Liu still did not intend to let it go, and this has never changed.

At least, the Liao Lord is still called the emperor and still based in Shangjing. Although Mobei is in turmoil, the Khitan is still the most powerful force on the grassland, and the Liao Lord is still the co-lord of Mobei.Emperor Liu will not stop unless the Khitan forces are brought back to their original form.

"How's the situation in the north? Are there any new gains?" Emperor Liu asked Cao Bin.

After hearing this, Cao Bin slowly said: "In the past few months, the territory of the Liao Kingdom has been in turmoil, and the tribes in Mobei have rebelled one after another. According to investigations, in the past winter, the tribes of the Liao Kingdom suffered from snowstorms, causing heavy losses of people and animals. It was extremely difficult for the Liao Kingdom to maintain its system and governance.

Since the beginning of spring, Dong Zunhui and Tian Renlang have raided northward from Yanshan and Shanyang respectively. Although the gains are not huge, they have exacerbated the turmoil in the Liao Kingdom.

Dong Zunhui, in particular, once drank Mahuangshui and threatened Liao to go to Beijing. However, the Liao Kingdom had a heavy garrison in the area of ​​​​Linhuang Mansion and dared not trade in.But as long as you keep harassing and don't let it be peaceful, it will cause its fatigue.

There is also a military report in Shanyang. In the past two months, tens of thousands of Mobei tribes have fled south to join the Han.The Liao Kingdom is also at a time when famine is rampant."

Emperor Liu was still very concerned about the situation in the Liao Kingdom, and he was not surprised to hear what Cao Bin said. In his and his civil and military officials' assumptions, this was normal. If the Liao Kingdom could quickly settle down and overcome the difficulties, That's the hang up.

Even the corner of Emperor Liu's mouth couldn't help but a smile filled his face. He was just gloating when the enemy was in trouble.

"What about Liaodong?" Emperor Liu asked again.

Cao Bindao: "Ma Renyu was stationed in Tongzhou because of his [-] soldiers, and has always maintained a deterrent to the remnants of the Liao army! Based on various reports, at present, the Liao Kingdom has basically lost the northeast, the old land of Bohai Sea has been completely reversed, and the officials and generals established by the Liao Kingdom , all were chased and killed, and the Shiwei and Jurchen ministries, each occupying their own places, raised their flags to be independent.

Today, only Yu Yelu Xiezhen led the remnants of the Liao Kingdom, holding on to Huanglong Mansion and its surrounding areas, supporting them hard.

It's a pity that the tribes in the Northeast have different people's hearts, each has a ghost, and each occupies a city, a mountain, and a forest. There are many conflicts and chaos, and they cannot work together.If you want to solve the Liao army in Huanglong Mansion, you have to rely on the Han army in the end.

Ma Renyu has already reported that he will take the opportunity to send troops to the north to wipe out these remnants completely to defend Liaodong! "

"Okay!" Emperor Liu didn't say much, just a dry word, which showed his will!
