Han Shizu

Chapter 366 The end of the northern tour
To Zhao Kuangzan, Liu Chengyou contributed his rare enthusiasm and patience in interpersonal communication, and he did not hesitate to condescend.In front of the accompanying officials and generals inside and outside, give Zhao Kuangzan enough respect and honor.

Zhao Kuangzan stayed in Yongqing for three whole days. During these three days, Liu Chengyou continued to treat him with enthusiasm and courtesy, and treated him with sincerity and sincerity. , push food to eat.

Therefore, after three days, Zhao Kuangzan returned satisfied.They had a heart-to-heart talk with You Yan about the situation in the north and the position of You Yan under the banner of the Great Han.From the beginning to the end, Liu Chengyou only adhered to one point, reassuring his mind and clearing up his doubts.Even, on "Xingtou", Liu Chengyou directly stated that Zhao's family will be in Youyan forever.

Although Zhao Kuangzan is young, less than [-] years old, he is known to be wise and strategic, with the appearance of a master. He is in a high position and rarely arrogant.Even so, under Liu Chengyou's continuous sugar-coated cannonball strategy, it is inevitable that he will be blinded and blinded.It has always been clear to bystanders that when he was deep in the game, facing such a big cake, King Yan was a little bit hard to hold on.

Of course, Zhao Kuangzan's forbearance and cooperation cannot be ruled out. After all, being located between Han and Liao, trying to survive in the cracks, no matter how you look at it, Youyan's situation is a bit embarrassing.For the Khitan people, there is still no hope in a short time, and the only way to survive is to rely on the big man and be the key to Liu's north gate.

The big man has always had the intention of borrowing weight from Youzhou, and it is probably because he is aware of this point. Between hesitation and ambiguity, Zhao Kuangzan also maintains an expectation for the emperor and the court, and it is this expectation that allows him to treat him with peace of mind as much as possible. In Yongqing, he discussed with Liu Chengyou about Youyan's future status in the Han Dynasty.

Zhao Kuangzan was in an exceptionally good mood when he resigned from his car and returned to the north, and even the cold wind could not blow away the relaxed smile on his handsome face.This visit to Yongqing, after all, did not disappoint him, not to mention returning with a full load, it can be regarded as a great harvest.

Even without mentioning the chicken soup that Liu Chengyou poured into him, the flashy rewards and promises of temptation, there are still a batch of royal objects and money that he returned with him.In addition, Liu Chengyou also ordered to allocate a large amount of food, clothing, military equipment, and medicinal materials from Yongqing and surrounding warehouses. Youzhou has been in a state of poverty since Zhao Kuangzan came to power, and its financial situation is worse than that of the Han Dynasty. bad.No amount of heartfelt chicken soup is as good as these tangible benefits.

More than half of the warehouse in Yongqing was vacant, and Ma Quanyi was very distressed by this.Probably influenced by Liu Chengyou, he was used to living a poor life. After Ma Quanyi took up the post of Yongqing, he had always been careful in his calculations.

In order to appease his beloved general, Liu Chengyou allocated all the [-] horses that Zhao Kuangzan had donated to Ma Quanyi for military use.

There are some snowflakes in the sky, not big, but passable.Accompanied by bursts of yelling, the supplies in large carts and small carts, under the escort of the guards and civilian husbands, slowly left the city, heading towards the Yanqi barracks on the left side of the city.After some handover, the brigade turned to the north.

And half an hour ago, Liu Chengyou had already performed the final performance to Zhao Kuangzan, personally giving him wine, seeing him off, and bid farewell to him.
Standing on the top of the city wall, the north wind was blowing, and the eyes were cast into the distance through the sparse snowflakes. There, Zhao Kuangzan had already led the crowd to set off, and the team returned slowly, walking very steadily.

It was more than a thousand riders who came, and there were more than a hundred people when they returned.In the past two years, the governor of Youzhou suffered a military disaster, and everything was waiting to be done. There was a shortage of officials in various places. Liu Chengyou ordered the prime minister Li Tao to select a group of state officials nearby to support Yandi.

Considering that Youzhou is far away from Tokyo and the traffic is inconvenient, it is inevitable that the previous "misunderstanding" of the imperial court due to lack of communication will happen again. And dispatched a group of forbidden troops to act as guards.

Zhao Kuangzan hesitated a little about Liu Chengyou's overly kind arrangement, but finally agreed.Left and right, there are only a few hundred people, who think they are in his territory and can't make any waves.Of course, the composition of the people Liu Chengyou sent was by no means pure, and Li Shaoyou, the accompanying martial arts envoy, was ordered to play a part in it.

"Your Majesty treats King Yan too favorably. I'm afraid that his favor will make him arrogant and will become more and more willful. Sooner or later, he will not take His Majesty and the court seriously!" Zhao Yanjin stood aside, touched the corner of his eyes subconsciously, and muttered.

Zhao Yanjin's words were not deliberately provocative, but the emotion in his tone was very obvious.Hearing the sound, Liu Chengyou turned his head and glanced at him, Zhao Yanjin had a little bruises on his eyes and cheeks, showing a bit of embarrassment.

As the emperor's pro-school, Yuqian Banzhi, who can make him suffer, is obviously not an ordinary character.But things are not that complicated. It just happened yesterday that Zhao Siwan, the beloved general of King Yan Zhao Kuangzan, brought his subordinates to play in Yongqing City. Zhao Yanjin and a group of forbidden soldiers bumped into him.

Zhao Yanjin led people to stop him, refused to listen, and had a big dispute. He wanted to be captured and questioned, but it turned into a fight, causing a lot of confusion.Moreover, Zhao Yanjin lost the fight and was slapped in the face.
Although Zhao Yanjin learned some martial arts from his father Zhao Hui, but compared with Zhao Siwan, a warrior in the battlefield, he was no match for him, and the result was embarrassing.This matter came up in front of Liu Chengyou, who was saying "you and me" with Zhao Kuang. Although Liu Chengyou was furious, his reaction was very flat.

Zhao Yanjin was fined half a year's salary, while Zhao Siwan was handed over to Zhao Kuangzan and left to his disposal without interfering.That's it, take it easy.

"Is there still resentment in your heart?" Liu Chengyou's voice was steady, without any emotion.

Hearing this, he didn't dare to look sideways, subconsciously lowered his head, and said, "I dare not?"

"Then there is still resentment!" Seeing this, Liu Chengyou looked relaxed, waved his hands, turned his head and casually asked the waiter on the other side, Murong Yanzhao: "Brother Yanzhao, do you also feel that I am too tolerant to King Yan?"

Murong Yanzhao's body was straight and full of heroism, he raised his hand and stroked his well-groomed beard, and replied calmly: "Youyan is of great help to the border defense of the big Han. There is really no need to doubt his heart! However, the general will see it, Yan generals are arrogant, and blindly tolerate it, it is easy to make him arrogant and make him look down on the court!"

At the side, hearing Murong Yanzhao's words, Zhao Yanjin couldn't help but look at him gratefully, feeling that he was speaking for himself.

Liu Chengyou sighed slightly, and spit out a mouthful of white steam: "I don't know, but bear with the words, don't spoil the overall situation with small details!"

In fact, Yan Bing's domineering also made Liu Chengyou doubtful.In particular, after some exchanges with the observation officer Gao Fang, it added a little bit.From what he said, the military landlords in the Yan army really didn't have any respect for the court, and Zhao Siwan was a representative figure among them.

Liu Chengyou has an impression of the name Zhao Siwan.At the beginning of his succession, Wang Jun, the deputy envoy of the Privy Council, led the army westward to resist the invasion of Mengshu. Zhao Kuang, who was appointed as the governor of the Yongxing Army at any time, sponsored the battle and clashed with Wang Jun.Later, Zhao Kuangzan was ordered to go east and stay in Tokyo. Wang Jun also played Liu Chengyou, please kill Zhao Siwan.

At that time, Liu Chengyou was concentrating on the layout of Youyan. He used Zhao Kuangzan to take the position of Zhao Yanshou, the former king of Yan who was seriously ill. He refused to accept Wang Jun's invitation, but instead used Zhao Siwan to fight to the death to break Shuzhai and promote him to the army.

That was the first time Liu Chengyou heard of the name Zhao Siwan, but this time in Yongqing, after seeing it personally, after thinking about it seriously, Wang Jun's original invitation was not pure revenge.
As for Zhao Siwan, Liu Chengyou has already given an opportunity to the high-defense secretary: look for an opportunity to get rid of it!
After meeting with Zhao Kuangzan, Liu Chengyou's trip to the north was almost over.The next day, Yujia traveled west to Hengzhou.That was where he rose to prominence. After the Luancheng War continued to be publicized, its influence remained.

In Hengzhou, Liu Chengyou didn't stay for too long, he only had a brief confession with Zhang Yanwei, the governor of the city, and praised him a lot, and then he went back to the south.

During this period, there was a small episode in which Liu Chengyou sent someone to pass on the system in advance to call Liu Chonglai, the king of Taiyuan who was left behind in Beijing, to meet him, but was politely declined by Liu Huangshu because of his leg illness.In this regard, Liu Chengyou expressed his "understanding", wrote Wang Pu's greetings, and rewarded tonic
During the winter season, braved the cold weather, and drove south to Tokyo. As before, all civil and military officials did not need to wait.When he returned to the Han Palace, greeted the Empress Dowager, and received the empress concubine, Liu Chengyou's "protracted" northern tour had just come to an end.
