Han Shizu

Chapter 48 Geng Chongmei

Zezhou, Gaoping County, north of the city.

Between the two Han villages, it is a rather vast highland, where Geng Chong's US military camp is located.The camps are continuous, and the "Liao" flag is fluttering, which looks orderly. Obviously, the commander of the army is by no means mediocre.

In the military commander's tent, a burly-looking veteran sat behind the commander's case.This person was the Jiedushi of Luzhou, Geng Chongmei, appointed by Yelu Deguang.

The person is obviously not as good as the name. Compared with the name, Geng Chongmei's appearance is really hard to compliment.However, such a rough-looking person has a heart of inner beauty and is extremely talented.

Geng Chongmei is a "people of Yan", born in western Liaoning, the world was in chaos at the end of the Tang Dynasty.

Since the beginning of the Tang Dynasty, the Central Plains had been in constant internal friction, and Yelu Abaoji took advantage of the situation to rise up and unified the Khitan tribes.Due to geographical reasons, the Geng family was also among the looted, entered the Khitan Kingdom, and surrendered to its rule.

After the rise of the nomads, there is no one who does not want to invade the Central Plains. Yelu Abaoji is a hero, and he will not want to enter the Central Plains where there is constant internal friction.It was only in the process of his claim to the emperor and the founding of the country and the unification of the Khitan tribes that the Liang and Jin provinces in the south fought for hegemony, and Li Cunxu led Hedong to rise.

Although Tang Zhuangzong Li Cunxu was a famous "political idiot", he was an uncompromising genius in military affairs. Especially in the early period of his reign, the Hedong Jin Army was an extremely powerful force.

After Li Cunxu killed Liu Shouguang and occupied Youyan, he completely stopped Yelu Abaoji's idea of ​​going south. At that time, Li Cunxu was not easy to mess with!
However, although going south is not desirable, it cannot stop the Khitan's ambition and yearning for the Central Plains. As a large number of Han people were captured and plundered into the country, Yelu Abaoji was also constantly absorbing the culture and talents of the Han people.

The fashionable and young Geng Chongmei, with his literary talents and martial skills, knowledge of Hu and Han culture, and the integration of the blood of the Hu people for unknown generations, gradually got the reuse of Yelu Abaoji and was worshipped as a general.

The official position of general manager is to do translation work, but it is a bridge for political and cultural communication between Hu and Han under the Khitan rule, and it is highly valued.And each general is a close minister of the Khitan Lord, integrated into the Khitan ruling class, and his talent and ability have been recognized by the ruler.

And those Han people are actually managers of Han affairs in Khitan, such as Han Zhigu, Zhang Li and Zhao Yanshou mentioned earlier, including this Geng Chongmei.

After Yelu Deguang succeeded to the throne, the process of Sinicization of Khitan was accelerated, and Geng Chongmei was even more used and became Yelu Deguang's henchman.When the Khitan Army went south, Shi Jingtang was established as the "Emperor of Children", and Geng Chongmei played a significant role in it.

This time, Yelu Deguang went south to destroy Jin, and Geng Chongmei also accompanied the army as a general officer.At that time, Guo Lin, the governor of Yizhou, used the city to resist the Khitan army and held back Yelu Deguang for a long time.Until Du Chongwei led the Jin army to surrender, Geng Chongmei went out to Yizhou, lured Guo Lin's soldiers to surrender, and immediately killed Guo Lin, and Yizhou was obtained.

It can be said that Geng Chongmei, Yunwen Yunwu, has a strong political and military planning ability, and is a hardcore traitor. This is not an easy person to deal with.

However, Geng Chongmei, who was in the tent at this time, did not look very good-looking, her already dark complexion was even more gloomy, and even her thick gray beard seemed to be worried.

The worries mainly come from two aspects.The first is naturally the situation in Luzhou. Why is he now the Jiedu envoy appointed by the Liao Lord, and he has the important task of controlling the land; secondly, he is naturally worried about the Liao State's rule over the Central Plains.

Geng Chongmei is a knowledgeable person. He has already noticed how dangerous the situation of Khitan in the Central Plains is. He is not as "naive" as Yelu Deguang.The people of the Central Plains are not so easy to be bullied. When they erupt, the hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops will face the scene of "everyone exhausting the enemy country".

And right now, bad news from various states has been reported, which corroborates his speculation.The people here are in turmoil, there is mutiny there, this state ceases, and that state rises again.Especially after Liu Zhiyuan became emperor, the situation was completely out of control.

As Yelu Deguang's henchman, it's not that Geng Chongmei did not persuade him, but Yelu Deguang didn't listen.No matter how wise the monarch is, he will not listen to him when he is complacent.Geng Chongmei was appointed as Luzhou Jiedushi, to a certain extent, it was regarded as a "rejection" of Yelu Deguang.

The leader started from Kaifeng, headed westward into Luoyang, crossed Heyang in the north, and entered Zezhou. Slower.

This is the second day of the garrison in Gaoping, and Luzhou is just a few dozen miles to the north, but Geng Chongmei chose not to move forward. He always felt uneasy in his heart. It was when he only had these thousands of "Swallow Soldiers".

The map on the Shuai case for him to study is the map of Ze and Lu Prefectures. With his eyes fixed on Shangdang City, Geng Chongmei couldn't help muttering: "I don't know what the situation is, where is Liu Jun!"

Perhaps it was the narration that played a role, and the announcement of the soldiers suddenly came from outside the tent: "Reporting to the commander, the scout has arrested a man from the north, claiming to be an envoy from Luzhou, and I have something important to meet!"

With a black face, Geng Chongmei regained her energy, narrowed her sharp eyes, and immediately waved: "Bring him into the camp!"

It didn't take long for a very ordinary man to be brought into the big tent, still wearing a military uniform, looking exhausted.He glanced at the man a little: "Who are you? What's the matter?"

"The villain is the personal soldier of Zhao Xingqian, the envoy of Zhao Xingqian, after he stayed in Luzhou. This time he was ordered by the envoy to go south and ask the commander for help!" The man took a few breaths and replied immediately.

Squinting her eyes, Geng Chongmei asked, "How is the situation in Luzhou now?"

"Thousands of troops from Hedong have already moved south, and the Shangdang is weak and there are people with dissent. Zhao Shijun may not be able to resist it, so he sent a villain to ask for help. Looking at Geng Chongmei's gaze, the man replied nervously.

Hearing his words, Geng Chongmei's face did not change much, her eyes flashed, and she asked coldly, "Who are you talking about, who is the person who has a different heart?"

"Sure Army Commander Li Wanchao, and Jiedu Judge Gao Defense!" The visitor immediately pointed out Gao Li.

Hearing this, the guard in Geng Chongmei's eyes dissipated a little. Before setting off, he could ask Zhang Cong'en to learn about the situation in Luzhou.If it is said that Gao Fang is different from Li Wanchao, it is also in line with the facts.

After thinking about it, Geng Chongmei suddenly asked, "Shangdang, is it still in the hands of Zhao Xingqian?"

The man shook his head.

"No?" Geng Chongmei's voice became a little colder.

Seeing this, the man quickly replied: "I don't know. I am going southward for a hundred miles. Maybe the soldiers from Hedong have reached the city at this moment, and maybe Shangdang has fallen."

"Is that so?" Geng Chongmei murmured, pacing to start, thinking for a while, then suddenly turned to stare at the man: "Where is the Hedong Army?"

The man was stunned for a moment, then shook his head quickly: "The villain doesn't know!"

"Take him down to rest!" After observing the person for a while, Geng Chongmei then ordered: "In addition, order the scouts, expand the scope of investigation, and send people to Shangdang to check."

Without making Geng Chongmei wait long, the exact news came from the north.As soon as his scout came out of Sheep's Head Mountain in the north, he ran into the capital of the cavalry led by Han Tong, strangling him, killing and injuring more than ten cavalry.
