Chapter 232 Morale Battle
During the Northern Xinjiang War, the Northern Xinjiang Army captured many soldiers of the Liao Army.Some people suggested keeping them, but the household department complained endlessly, only saying that money and food were difficult.Huang Chunhui simply ordered the captives to work.Or repair the city, or build bridges and pave roads.

The day before yesterday, Beiliao sent envoys to ask for these prisoners.

The autumn wind is slightly cold, and a charcoal basin has been set up in the lobby of the Jiedushi Mansion early on. As soon as you enter, you can smell the smell of burning charcoal, which is a bit homely.

Liao Jin entered the lobby, "Sir."

Huang Chunhui read the paperwork with drooping eyelids, "What's the matter?"

"The envoy of the Northern Liao Dynasty seeks an audience."

"Ah."

The messenger is coming soon.

Tall, with piercing eyes, and a look of disdain.

He walked into the lobby with his head held high.

"Meet Mr. Huang."

Beiliao has been established for many years, and gradually transformed from a nomadic people into a serious country by the culture of Tang Dynasty.Most of these rules are learned from Datang, and they are meticulous.

Huang Chunhui looked like an old man in his twilight years. After glancing at the messenger, he said slowly, "If you want a prisoner, bring money."

The messenger smiled, "Daliao has no shortage of money."

Huang Chunhui's eyelids didn't move.

But Zhang Du couldn't help but sneered: "Whenever the Tang army went south, Nan Zhou would always use money to lure Beiliao to send troops to rescue, and it always worked."

Jiang Cunzhong frowned, "Zhang Du, be careful."

Zhang Du nodded slightly, "Yes."

Only now did Jiang Cunzhong turn pale, "You don't slap someone in the face when you hit someone, and you don't expose your shortcomings when you swear."

The Tang Dynasty sent troops several times to destroy the Southern Zhou Dynasty, but every time the army had just assembled, the Emperor of the Southern Zhou Dynasty would affectionately shout at the Beiliao: Dear, you have money to send troops!

Immediately, the Northern Liao Dynasty assembled a large army to contain the Tang Dynasty, and the Southern Zhou Dynasty turned the crisis into safety.

Therefore, other countries say that they are not bad for money, but Beiliao is not.

There was a gloomy look in the eyes of the emissary who was slapped in the face and exposed.

Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, and the people around him offered hot tea. He took a sip, panted, and said lightly: "Those captives work hard. The Ministry of Industry heard that there are coolies in northern Xinjiang who don't need to be paid. Get it back."

Liao Jin said with a cold face, "The Great Tang Dynasty, building bridges and paving roads, repairing water conservancy, there are many places to employ people. Beiliao doesn't want these prisoners, and Datang doesn't mind letting them work."

In any case, when it comes to the redemption of captives, Datang is already invincible!

The messenger said coldly: "Mr. Huang, there are millions of Daliao cavalry, and they can crush Northern Xinjiang in an instant!"

Huang Chunhui put down his teacup, his eyebrows relaxed, and he said with the attitude of waiting to talk to the disobedient boy next door: "The population of the Tang Dynasty is billions, and the Tang Dynasty is rich."

"The old man has been waiting for the army of the Northern Liao Dynasty in the northern border." He raised his eyes, looked at the envoy with a rebellious face and said, "Tell the emperor of Liao, Huang Chunhui has been waiting for him for many years!"

In the eyes of foreigners, there is something wrong with this behemoth of the Tang Dynasty, and there are a lot of domestic problems.Datang is weakening, but the shelf is still there, and it is so huge that it makes people palpitate.

Who will take a bite first?
Everyone wants others to open their mouths first and try to bite Datang.

A dead Taoist friend is not a poor Taoist!

If Datang collapsed at the first bite, everyone rushed in to burn, kill and loot.

But what if Datang is still invincible?
The country that bites first will be crushed with a big tooth!
No one is an idiot, so the surrounding alien races are all drooling at the corners of their mouths, staring at Datang, but no one makes a move.

The same is true for Beiliao.

The envoy sneered, "Northern Xinjiang is nothing more than a pearl of rice, let's say Chenzhou, without Daliao's action, the three dogs raised by Daliao can destroy Chenzhou!"

This is provocation!

Liao Jin's eyes flashed, and he subconsciously prepared to throw the teacup in his hand.

"Old Liao." Huang Chunhui looked at him.

"Master." The envoy's words were too humiliating, Liao Jin didn't say anything, his knuckles cracked.

Huang Chunhui shook his head slightly, "It's not easy to make tea, drink it."

Liao Jin raised his head and drank the tea, and the hot blood in his chest gradually calmed down.

The emissary made preparations for not surviving before departure, so he was extra bold, "Chenzhou Taiping was destroyed seven times, this time can be called unprecedented!"

This person came specifically to humiliate Beijiang.

But what he said is true.

This is a door-to-door slap in the face.

Huang Chunhui smiled, "Go back and tell Emperor Liao that if he wants, Chenzhou can kill those three dogs at any time!"

The messenger chuckled, and instead of defending himself, he cupped his hands, "Let me wait and see!"

"Then watch."

The messenger leaves.

All the way out of the Jiedu Ambassador's Mansion, his attendants whispered: "We frequently provoked Huang Chunhui, this is walking on the knife's edge!"

The envoy's eyes were calm, "Before I set off, I have explained my funeral. For the sake of Daliao, even if I die a hundred times, I will not regret it!"

After he left, Liao Jin felt a little headache, "Master, it's difficult for Chen Zhou to face the three majors alone."

"If the old man's words are released today, Beiliao will spread them widely. Are you worried about this?"

"Yes. If the three major ministries join forces, Chenzhou will be defeated!"

This is a fact.

Huang Chunhui put his hands on the charcoal basin, his complexion was reddish reflected by the charcoal fire, but the wrinkles became more and more deep.

"Taiping County originally had only dozens of garrisons, supplemented by hundreds of criminals. Later, Liu Qing from Chenzhou came to the document and asked for instructions to reorganize the army of Taiping criminals. The old man saw the process of the death camp led by Yang Xuan, and felt that this young man It's interesting, so I agree.

During the Battle of Northern Xinjiang, the Chenzhou army performed well. Liu Qing wanted to push Yang Xuan out to show the old man how good he was, so he ordered him to lead the Taiping army to attack the city. That little boy didn't embarrass Liu Qing, he went down bravely Yes, there are also machine changes. "

Liao Jin said with a smile: "In that battle, only the Taiping Army was shining in the entire Chenzhou Army. In order to push out Yang Xuan, Liu Qing did his best and was considerate."

"That's right! Afterwards, he played steadily in Taiping, and the old man was also watching. During this period, Liu Qing praised Yang Xuan many times, and the old man's ears were covered with calluses. It was simply absurd."

"The old man remembers that Xianggong stroked his beard and smiled at the beginning, saying that I had another young talent in northern Xinjiang, Dangfu Dabai... It's just that he drank too much, danced with a knife that night, and didn't raise his arm the next day."

The two smiled at each other.

Huang Chunhui coughed dryly, "The old man gave him everything he wanted, including after the war in Northern Xinjiang, the old man took Yang Xuan to Chang'an to repay the victory. But Lao Liao, in many cases, cultivating young people is like the rumored Gu raising in Central and Southern Xinjiang. The poisonous insects are fighting in a jar, and whoever survives to the end will be the poison king."

"But it's not a jar."

"There is no jar, but there is horse racing. Taiping and Lin'an are going to open the market, and the old man has acquiesced. We have the army and money, so what are you waiting for?"

"The envoy wants Chen Zhou to attack?"

"Ordering Chen Zhou to attack will alarm He Lianchun's hibernating poisonous snake. Liu Qing has been indulging in Taiping, so it's time for Taiping to show the results of these indulgences."

"If you lose..."

"Old Liao."

"exist."

"Emissary Liao's words seem to be a slap in the face, but if you think about it deeply, you will find that this is a battle of momentum."

"Taiping has been destroyed seven times. Isn't it shameful?"

"The three wild dogs raised in captivity in Helianchun in Tanzhou can crush Chenzhou. When these words spread throughout Northern Liao, the morale of the soldiers and civilians will be greatly boosted. When these words spread throughout Northern Xinjiang, our soldiers and civilians in Northern Xinjiang will panic disturbed."

"Lin Ya's defeat was so tragic, which probably exceeded the Liao Emperor's expectation. In the eyes of the old man, what the Liao envoy said was that someone who was good at planning was planning to restore Lin Ya's defeat. The morale of the army and civilians in the northern Liao Dynasty has fallen. But the morale! One goes up and down. When they get up, we have to go down!"

Huang Chunhui took a sip of tea and said lightly: "This is a battle of momentum. The Liao Emperor pointed at Beijiang from afar. If the old man avoids fighting, my morale in Beijiang will plummet from now on. This is the last Terrible place!"

"Consider defeat before fighting!" Liao Jin said: "There are more than 2 soldiers in Taiping, and the [-] horses of the Vasie Department can be drawn out. Is it possible to win with one as ten?"

"So what if we lose?"

"Even if Taiping is defeated and the city is broken for the eighth time, this old man will still be able to mobilize the Northern Xinjiang army to raid Beiliao again!"

"Even if there is a big battle and the blood of my son of Beijiang is shed, the morale of Beijiang must be boosted!"

"This kind of arrogance is useless to rely on lip service, and it is useless to rely on any schemes. It can only be saved by fighting hard." Huang Chunhui looked at his deputy and raised his eyebrows. Is the unparalleled Liao Jin still there?"

Jiang Cunzhong and the others standing outside the door looked at each other, Zhang Du said in a low voice, "Do you want to try, Mr. Xiang?"

Jiang Cunzhong's face was strange, and his heart said that his health was not good, but he couldn't beat Deputy Envoy Liao.

Liao Jin's voice came, "The old man keeps practicing every day, just waiting for the time to fall into battle."

"it is good!"

"Msister, many people in Chang'an are extremely dissatisfied with Mr. Xiang, and they are waiting to catch Mr. Mr.'s mistakes. If this plan fails, the memorial to impeach Mr. Xiang in Chang'an may pave the way from Chang'an to northern Xinjiang."

"Old Liao, just because you opened your eyes for Beijiang and refused to speak well for Zhang Chumao against your will, so that your son was caught in the wrong place and exiled in Southern Xinjiang, do you regret it?"

"not regret!"

"Over the years, you have had countless opportunities to return to Chang'an as an official, but you refused to leave Northern Xinjiang. Do you regret it now?"

"not regret!"

"The old man has never regretted it!"

outside.

Jiang Cunzhong and Zhang Du looked at each other and nodded slightly.

Clenched fists!

I wait!

not regret!

……

The fast horse galloped all the way and arrived at Lin'an City.

When Liu Qing entered the state, Lu Qiang was talking with the messenger, and when he saw him coming, he shook his head slightly with a solemn expression.

"What's the matter?" Liu Qing entered the lobby.

"I have met Mr. Liu." The envoy saluted, with more sympathy in his eyes.

event!

Liu Qing sat down calmly.

"The envoy from the Northern Liao Dynasty came to Tao County and challenged our northern border in public. The envoy from the Liao Dynasty said that the three major tribes raised in captivity in Tanzhou can destroy Chenzhou, and the seven times of Taiping's destruction of the city is a clear proof..."

Liu Qing was listening carefully.

The messenger paused, and Liu Qing coughed dryly, "What's the reason?"

"Ask for prisoners."

"Understood." Liu Qing said: "When asking for captives, I have not forgotten to suppress my morale in northern Xinjiang. What I can't get on the battlefield, I want to get from the hearts of the soldiers and the people. Is the Emperor of Liao trying to defeat others without fighting?" ?”

The envoy's eyes were full of admiration, "Liu Shijun seems to have seen it in person."

"In this case, I, Chen Zhou, should fight back. What can my husband say?"

"Msanggong ordered, wherever they stare, we will strike them from there."

"The old man knows."

"Emissary Liu." The envoy looked solemn.

Liu Qing got up.

The envoy said in a deep voice: "My lord, it takes courage to fight! If Taiping loses, you Liu Qing go up. If you Liu Qing loses, I go up!"

"Leader!"

The messenger is gone.

Liu Qing closed his eyes.

After a long time, he ordered: "Call the manpower."

Soon, officials gathered in the state.

Yang Xuan came a bit late, and when he came in, he found that the atmosphere was not right.

The old man looked calm, but if he was too calm, there would be problems.And the old man glanced at him, and he was very calm.

Shouldn't there be a hint of sternness in the past?

This.

wrong!

Yang Xuan's heart trembled, he checked to see if the stick was not in the old man's hand, and checked whether the escape route was blocked.

No.

Ok!

Ok!

"Sit!" Liu Qing said lightly.

Yang Xuan sat down.

There is no tea to drink today, and everyone is used to it...Northern Xinjiang does not produce tea, and the tea from the south must be transported to the customs first. After the selection in the customs, the rest will be sent to the northern Xinjiang.Because the road was difficult, after the tea was sent to northern Xinjiang, the inferior ones could be sold at a higher price.

Liu Qing coughed dryly.

"The Liao envoy went to Tao County to ask for the prisoners, and said that the three dogs He Lianchun kept in captivity could destroy my Chenzhou."

The crowd was furious.

Yang Xuan saw that even Han Li's eyes were burning. He was sure that if there was a group of Liao troops in front of him at this moment, Han Li would be able to charge up and kill them.

As for whether the enemy is invincible or not, the people of northern Xinjiang never care about how many enemies are in front of them, they only know one thing.

"Kill!" Zhang Lichun roared.

"Kill them!"

"My lord, please fight!"

"Chenzhou send troops!"

"Rise up the army, first destroy the Jibo tribe, and then destroy the Vasie!"

"Let's attack, envoy!"

In the excitement of the crowd, Liu Qing suppressed his hands.

When the voice faded away, he said: "The Liao envoy said that Taiping was destroyed seven times."

This is ridicule, but also deterrence.

Everyone became more and more angry.

Yang Xuan felt that something was wrong.Since he was asking for prisoners, the Liao envoy shouldn't say such harsh words.Three dogs destroyed Chenzhou, and Taiping was destroyed seven times...

This is clearly a slap in the face.

Why?

What can Beiliao gain from face-slapping?
Boost morale, boost the morale of the army and the people.

And these words can also severely damage the morale of Northern Xinjiang.

Gee!

interesting!
In the heated discussion, someone said: "This is a battle of morale! One goes up and down!"

"Who?"

The crowd looked up.

Lord Shi Jun stared at Yang Xuan, furiously, "You're talking nonsense!"

The old man is wrong.

Yang Xuan wanted to be tough, but after thinking about it, he was still soft, "Yes."

Liu Qing said with a cold face, "You talk nonsense and scare me."

The old man took the wrong medicine.

Yang Xuan decided not to bear it anymore, "Emissary, Lin Ya's defeat is the scar of Beiliao after all. If this scar cannot be healed, our Northern Army will be more confident in the next match. The Liao envoy's remarks are just to hurt me The morale of Northern Xinjiang, boosting the morale of Northern Liao, how did the lower officials go wrong?"

Little brat... Liu Qing said with a cold face, "It's nothing more than anger from embarrassment."

Yang Xuan still refused to bow his head, and everyone couldn't help being surprised when they saw it.

Liu Qing has been in charge of Chen Zhou for many years, who dares to challenge his prestige?
No!

One came today.

Yang Xuan resolutely said: "I dare to assert that the Liao envoy must have spread these words in Taoxian County to the uproar!"

Liu Qing had a cold face.

Yang Xuan is going to be unlucky.

Bah!
Liu Qing took the case together.

"domineering!"

"So, the old man ordered you to go to Taiping."

Liu Qing said coldly: "Bubai Vaxie, don't come back!"

"???" Everyone was stunned.

Didn't we ask for a fight first?
Why, the envoy scolded and Yang Xuan provoked the envoy, but in the end he handed over the counterattack to Yang Xuan.

What about us?
Angry!
"Emissary!" Zhang Lichun was almost roaring, "I invite you to fight, if you lose, I promise not to return!"

Liu Qing got up, "The old man's intention has been decided."

A pair of old eyes slowly looked at everyone.

No one dared to look at him.

Do not!
There is one!
Yang Xuan!

There was more anticipation in those old eyes, but also more relief.

brat.

Don't let the old man down!
