Han Shizu

Chapter 82 Willing to go alone

"Surrender, this time?" The corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth were only slightly upturned, and he moved his fingers at Zhang Yanwei and the others, and ordered: "The generals will stop fighting, the enemy knows the current affairs, and our army will not suffer any further losses. You can deal with it. Let's take control of the whole city of Fuyang and prevent all accidents!"

"In addition." After a while, Liu Chengyou added: "The situation in the city is a bit strange, and the investigation is clear!"

"Yes!"

In Liu Chengyou's heart, there is indeed some doubts.When the Longqi Army and the Khitans fought fiercely, the reaction of the defenders in Fuyang City was too strange.

The results proved that it was not a fraudulent surrender. The defenders in Fuyang City surrendered without reservation, discarded their weapons and disarmed, and there was no change.However, it was not Gao Tangying, the defensive ambassador, who led the crowd to surrender, but a general named Wang Jihong.As for Gao Tangying, his head had already been chopped off.

After entering the county seat, Liu Chengyou inspected the camps and appeased his soldiers before meeting him at the yatang.At first glance, he is a rough person, he looks very ordinary, but he gives a low-key feeling, with a cautious smile on his face, and his attitude towards Liu Chengyou is very humble.

This person has no joy or dislike, but after all, he took the initiative to seek refuge and surrendered from the city, Liu Chengyou still comforted and expressed his appreciation.After the experience of the past two months after sending troops, Liu Chengyou had a clearer understanding of the rapid capture of stable countries, which was nothing more than the words "recruiting, surrendering, accepting betrayal".

"Tell me, what happened to this Wang Jihong, who is he?" Liu Chengyou asked directly after letting him back down peacefully.

After looking at each other, Xiang Xun stood up, and reported to Liu Chengyou: "Wang Jihong is a thief, and he is a military officer. After Khitan entered Bian, he surrendered with the crowd and was brought under Gao Tangying's command."

Xiang Xun's work efficiency is very high, and within a short period of time, the situation of Wang Jihong and Fu Yang has been investigated clearly: "According to the subordinate's inquiry, Gao Tangying treated Wang Jihong quite favorably. , relying on relatives, losing money to soldiers, without any suspicion."

"Today, when our army and Yelu Jieli were fighting fiercely, Gao Tangying originally intended to lead the army out of the city to help in the battle, but was dissuaded by Wang Jihong. After our army was victorious, his men joined several commanding schools to kill Gao Tangying, and the whole city fell!"

After listening to Xiang Xun's narration, Liu Chengyou raised his eyebrows slightly and said lightly, "As you said, Gao Tangying treated Wang Jihong so kindly, but what he did was ungrateful!"

Hearing this, he nodded to Xun, with obvious contempt in his eyes: "Fang Cai, I asked him about it!"

"How did he answer?" Liu Chengyou became interested.

His tone was full of disdain, and Xiang Xun said: "He said that he is a villain, if he doesn't take advantage of the convenience, judge the situation, seek wealth, save his life, and end his life, he may not have his aspirations. This person said this, There is simply no virtue of gratitude and shame!"

"Although this person is not ashamed of his virtues, his words and deeds are not false!" Liu Chengyou calmly commented on his face, unlike Xiang Xun's contempt.

"What a villain!" Guo Rong also echoed aloud at this time.

"It's really a villain!" Liu Chengyou nodded, and immediately sighed: "Wang Jihong is hated by the Gao clan, and he is in the country and the army, but he has merit after all."

When Liu Chengyou said this, everyone in the hall was silent, especially Guo Rong and Xiang Xun, both of them thoughtfully.Obviously, Liu Chengyou's mentality at this time has been extraordinarily peaceful, and the problem is very clear.

He thought of the experience of facing Wang Shouen in Shangdang that day. After listening to Xiang Xun's description, Liu Chengyou definitely despised Wang Jihong, but he did not mean to react because of his likes and dislikes.

There seemed to be a voice resounding in my mind: Even people like Wang Jihong can tolerate kind treatment and reward them for their merits. Who else in the world can't treat them kindly?

After all, the matter of Wang Jihong is just a small episode, just mention it a little and clear up the confusion, that's all.

At night, Guo Rong and Xiang Xun met together.

"His Royal Highness!" Guo Rong called out in a deliberate tone after obvious hesitation.

Noticing Guo Rong's performance, Liu Chengyou waved his hand directly: "If you have something to say!"

Seeing this, Guo Rong did not pretend to be, he took a light breath, cupped his hands and said, "The last general thought that Yelu Deguang's return to the Khitan was a foregone conclusion, and our army would follow behind, it's really unnecessary, and it won't make much money. The benefits are high, and the risks are high.”

"In the battle of Fuyang, although the Khitan was defeated by danger, it was also due to the fact that the Liao generals underestimated the enemy and fought slowly. After this battle, we may not be able to find such an opportunity again. If we continue to follow, our army will have nowhere to go. , I'm only afraid of being in danger!"

As he spoke, Guo Rong almost expressed his thoughts and concerns. Liu Chengyou glanced at him and asked, "In your opinion?"

Guo Rong obviously had a draft for a long time, and answered directly: "In the Central Plains, it is a matter of time before His Majesty personally mentions that the army will advance southwards and return to the two capitals. Instead, in the Hebei provinces, the Khitan people are still powerful!"

"At this time, His Highness no longer needs to stare at Yelu Deguang, who is destined to withdraw the Khitan, and should change the direction of the strategy, attack the prefectures and counties, and unite with the old officials, generals and volunteers of Hebei Daozhou to attack the Khitan and welcome the Central Plains for others. The division goes north, completely expel the Khitan forces, settle Hebei, and get ready."

After listening to Guo Rongjin's words, Liu Chengyou didn't say anything, and glanced at Xiangxun: "What do you think?"

Now these two people have basically become Liu Chengyou's confidants and assistants, and they have basically discussed with him on major matters, and the two dare to speak out boldly.

Liu Chengyou asked himself, Xiang Xun glanced back and forth between him and Guo Rong, and calmly handed over to answer: "This subordinate thinks that General Guo's words are reasonable. Although our army is strong, it is not enough in the end. After all, it is difficult to have a big threat with the hundreds of thousands of steps. On the contrary, if you continue to entangle it for a long time, it will lead to its blow, but it will be dangerous!"

"In the opinion of my subordinates, after Yelu Jieli's defeat, the Liao army's vigilance against us will be raised to the highest level. Now, it is time to change our thinking."

Obviously, Xiang Xun and Guo Rong have the same opinion.

His eyes wandered around the two of them twice, Liu Chengyou was silent, bowed his head for a while, and sighed faintly.Of course Liu Chengyou knew that their suggestion was justified.With the strength of Long Qi's army, it was a bit overkill to drive Yelu Deguang's army of returnees from the north.

In the current situation, the most suitable way is to unite the forces of all parties, spread the influence of the new dynasty, and strengthen themselves while attacking the Khitan.

Liu Chengyou understood in his heart, but
Seeing Liu Chengyou's contemplative appearance, Guo Rong and Xiang Xun were surprised. Based on their impression and understanding of Liu Chengyou, this should not be the case.

After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou finally spoke, with clear eyes and a firm tone: "Yelü Deguang wants to withdraw and return to the country, so he will leave the country as a 'gift' alone!"

"Your Highness!" Hearing his words, Guo Rong was a little stunned, and immediately handed over, wanting to persuade him again.

However, Liu Chengyou didn't give him this chance, and said decisively: "I've decided to give up! Send an order, Han Tong and Luo Yangun, closely track the military situation of the Khitan, and then lead the army and continue northward!"

Liu Chengyou's stubbornness surprised Guo and Xiang Da, and couldn't help but have a headache.Liu Chengyou, you have always listened to people's words, but why?
Liu Chengyou, naturally, had no way to explain it to them, so he could only secretly look forward to it.

Sometimes he is very stable.But sometimes, he is willing to take odd risks!
