Han Shizu

Chapter 14
On this spring night, above the long bridge, Liu Chengyou's chatterbox was completely opened, as if he wanted to say enough of the words he had held in his heart since he crossed.Gao Leng's face has a little more active color, talking freely and eloquently.Seeing the appearance of the second son pointing the country, Liu Zhiyuan quietly stood in front of the listener.

"In the afternoon of the day, after the court meeting, I specially invited General Wang Xiufeng to the courtyard to consult the Central Plains and Khitan affairs, and I got a lot!" Talking about his enthusiasm, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but add small gestures to his hands, and dangled a few times in the air. Next: "General Wang concluded that the Khitans are not as difficult to deal with as imagined, and the Khitans will definitely not be able to defend the Central Plains, and sooner or later retreat north!"

"Tell me!" Liu Zhiyuan's face was still full of interest.

Liu Chengyou's interest obviously also came, he stood up directly, took a few steps in front of his father and brother, and said, "Father is most afraid of Yelu Deguang and Khitan's 300,000 army. 300,000 people, what a powerful force that is!" Power, but if you analyze it carefully, it's not that scary!"

"The Khitans are said to be 300,000, but how many soldiers are there, and how many elites are there? To the south, before the Battle of the Hutuo River, the journey was not smooth. Fighting all the way, the number of soldiers was reduced, and the quota was no longer full. The land of Hebei and Zhao is vast, and the states they pass through In the counties, soldiers and horses should also be left to control the place, and fortified cities and fortresses like towns and states should be stationed with heavy troops to protect the way of retreat."

"After entering Bianliang, they dispatched soldiers and horses to plunder. Guanzhong and Heyang also sent troops and horses. Counting 100,000 people and horses were scattered in various states, but they specialized in looting. They enjoyed the colorful world of the Central Plains, and their morale must have declined. Frustrated."

"However, these are not the most important. There is no doubt that the tyranny of the Khitan people will be repeated by the scholars and people of the Central Plains! Yelu Deguang is sitting on the fire at this time, and he still doesn't know it. He has 300,000 Hu soldiers The soldiers are strong, but they don't know that the power of the anger of the people of the Central Plains is enough to smash them to pieces."

"The Jin army surrendered [-] troops, was severely treated and suspected, and was threatened with life at times. He was angry and had long complained. Although Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen were attacked, the virtues of those two had long been despised by others. Listen to General Wang. , Jiang soldiers are tired of surrendering without a fight, and they are fighting for tigers. Not only are the [-] soldiers not helping the Khitans to control the Central Plains, but now, they have become a deadly threat to their couch!"

"The money was lavishly included, so that the remnants of the Jin Dynasty who were originally attached to them also gradually became disaffected. When they saw the surrender, they died or were humiliated, and the rest were mostly confined to Bianliang and never returned to the town. The commander in Bianjie, People with outstanding qualifications, abilities, and prestige like Gao Xingzhou and Fu Yanqing are deeply jealous of Yelu Deguang. They may have regrets for surrendering to the Khitan. If they lose their minds, don't think about stability in that place. already."

"And all localities still have a certain strength in their hands. As long as someone takes the lead in resisting the Khitan, they will definitely respond."

"My father sent troops to Hedong, maybe only tens of thousands of troops, but those who complement each other are millions of soldiers and civilians in the Central Plains and Hebei."

"And now that the snow and ice have disappeared, the weather is getting warmer, and the Khitan army has died, going on an expedition of thousands of miles, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not accustomed to the soil and water. Once the people in the Central Plains fight against each other and attack together, how can Yelu Deguang stay for a long time?"

"."

After a big discussion, Liu Chengyou said that he was a little emotional, heaved a sigh of relief, and after slowly calming down some ups and downs, he sat next to his father and brother again.

Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chengxun both looked at Liu Chengyou, who was gradually returning to his autistic state, with complicated expressions.After digesting what Liu Chengyou said, Liu Zhiyuan sighed softly: "These are not what Wang Xiufeng taught you, right?"

"Son, let's talk nonsense, if there are any omissions and inappropriate things, please forgive me!" Liu Chengyou bowed his head slightly and made a modest gesture.

Staring at Liu Chengyou for a long time, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly stroked his beard and said with emotion, "I never thought that my son would have this insight, I'm so relieved!" With a sigh, Yu Guang couldn't help but glance at the people around him. eldest son.

Looking up and looking around, the Zhongcheng Bridge became even quieter, with his hands on the ground, he wanted to get up.At this time, Liu Chengxun immediately stepped up and helped Liu Zhiyuan up.

"It's getting late, let's all go back to the manor to rest!" He said a word, but didn't say anything more. Under the escort of the guard, Liu Zhiyuan walked slowly first.

Liu Chengyou and Liu Chengxun also walked off the bridge together. Liu Chengyou continued to self-isolate, but Liu Chengxun did not take the initiative to ask for words as before.When stepping into the car, Liu Chengxun couldn't help but look in the direction of his second brother, with a particularly complicated expression.
What Liu Chengxun didn't know was that in the car he was looking at, through the gap in the curtain, Liu Chengyou also aimed at his figure.The difference is that there is no so-called complicated expression on Liu Chengyou's face, just indifference.

Since the court meeting that day, the undercurrent called "persuade to enter" has become more and more turbulent in Jinyang City.In this matter, it is rare for Hedong Wenwu to be united and work together to lift Liu Zhiyuan to the throne.

It's just that Liu Zhiyuan's attitude is still unpredictable. He neither agrees nor refuses, just doesn't respond with a cold face.After that, he entrusted all the important affairs of the general's administration to his subordinates, and he no longer took matters into his own hands.

Liu Zhiyuan was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, but the civil and military officials below did not stop at all, actively gathering and connecting together. For a time, Jinyang City turned out to be a mess.

Among the civil and martial arts in Hedong, there are many smart people, like Yang Ping, Wang Zhang, Guo Wei and other old people who have been following for a long time. With the development of the situation, they probably guessed Liu Zhiyuan's thoughts of waiting and waiting, not like the people below. , on the contrary, try to appease.

Latecomers like Wang Jun, eager to make merit, found some literati, ran around the market, made public announcements of what he had seen and heard along the way as an envoy, made public the atrocities of Khitan, and vigorously promoted the "Khitan threat theory". ", saying that the Khitan army may send troops to Hedong at any time.

Of course, the most important thing is that the world needs a hero who can exterminate the barbarians, clean up the country, and rebuild the universe, and this hero is naturally Liu Gong of Taiyuan!
Wang Jun's approach is very smart. Just as Liu Chengyou said in the opposite conversation that day, General Wang Xiufeng is a smart man.At least, Wang Jun was indeed a very smart person before he was successful and his character flaws were not exposed.This set of building momentum is very slippery.

Two days after Wang Jun's envoy Bian returned, Bai Wenke, the deputy left-behind in Beijing who also went south to pay homage, also returned. Compared with Wang Jun, his back and forth speed was much faster, and he also looked more embarrassed.

The old general, who was more than a few years old, still looked very tough. He didn't care about the saddle horse's fatigue, and brought a whole body of dust. He directly visited Liu Zhiyuan and reported the situation to him.

As for Liu Zhiyuan, he was secretly listening to Liu Chong, Liu Xin, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei and others reporting the situation in the army in his study. Brother Liu Chengyou was also on the list, and he also narrated the situation of Long Qi's army.

After ordering Bai Wenke to sit down, Liu Zhiyuan asked, "Duke Dewen, how was your trip to Bianliang?"

Bai Wenke thanked him first, then shook his head, and the old face was full of emotion: "The Khitan government is in chaos, I'm afraid I can't stay in China for a long time! I watched the whole ceremony of the Khitan Lord's enthronement ceremony, and there was nothing new. The thriving spirit of the establishment of the DPRK."

"It's similar to what Wang Jun got!" Liu Zhiyuan said with emotion.

Bai Wenke continued: "When I left Bian, the Khitan Lord asked me to give you a message!"

"Then you have to listen to me alone!" Liu Zhiyuan seemed very relaxed.

"The Khitan Lord said that the king is neither involved in the Southern Dynasty nor in the Northern Dynasty. What are you waiting for and what are your plans?" Bai Wenke said.

"Haha." Liu Zhiyuan smiled when he heard the words and glanced at the officers present: "It seems that this Khitan Lord has no patience with Gu and Hedong!"

"Your Majesty, these questions show their suspicion, and now there is no way to go back!" It was Guo Wei who responded very quickly: "According to Wang Xiufeng and Bai Gong, the Khitan is greedy and disabled, and there will be no China for a long time. Please don't hesitate any longer!"

Liu Zhiyuan still did not respond.

　Looking for a wave of collection recommendation tickets, the book has been published for more than a week, and the data is a bit miserable.
