The First Great Ancestor of the Five Dynasties

Chapter 34: Encouraging Chai Rong
Fu Jinzhan couldn't laugh or cry, thinking that Zhu Xiu was making mischief again, so he scolded angrily: "Why are you dressed like this?"

Chai Rong looked unhappy. He was already disgusted with Buddhism, and he was under heavy pressure and depressed. When he saw Zhu Xiu's appearance, he felt even more unhappy.

Zhu Xiu was a little aggrieved. He wanted to go up to the east gate tower tonight to observe the celestial phenomena. In order to create an image of a master who "looks up at the heaven and earth and observes the wonders of the universe", he specially dressed up with great effort.

He also borrowed Kong Ming's style when he borrowed the east wind from Nanping Mountain. Unfortunately, he was bald and hairless, and his figure was frail. He didn't have the elegant posture of fluttering clothes. He looked a bit like he had just escaped from the Pansi Cave, and his clothes were disheveled. Tang Monk.
"You said you can't go to Zhaozhou, and you can't fight the decisive battle in Zhenzhou, and now you oppose the evacuation of Cangzhou. Is it possible that our Tianxiong Army and the hundreds of thousands of people in Cangzhou can only be trapped in the city and wait to die?"

Chai Rong's face and tone were as cold as ice.

Zhu Xiu knew that he was under great pressure, irritable, and had a bad temper. He smiled calmly and said: "If you stay in Cangzhou, you will be safe. On the contrary, if you lead the army to cover the evacuation of the people, you will be dead!"

Chai Rong's eyes flashed slightly and he stared at him with a stern face.

Fu Jinzhan gave him a gentle blow on his bald head, and said angrily: "Stop being so pretentious and make it clear!"

Zhu Xiu rubbed his forehead resentfully, and said sullenly: "The reason is very simple. Without the protection of the city, tens of thousands of soldiers and horses escorted 10,000+ people. The progress is slow. Within a hundred miles are hills and plains. Once the Khitan soldiers catch up, What can you use to resist?"

Chai Rong said solemnly: "Yelüwu wants to mobilize an army of [-] in Zhuoxian County. Chen soldiers may cross the river from the north bank at any time. When the army comes to the city, how can we resist with only [-] to [-] soldiers and horses and a dozen black fire thunders? "

Zhu Xiu calmly dusted his broad sleeves and said with a smile: "The Khitan people are rowing in the Zhangshui River, but they never make it to the shore. Haven't you seen the problem yet?"

Chai Rong and Fu Jinzhan were both stunned. Fu Jinzhan said in confusion: "Yeluwu wants to observe the defense situation on the south bank and wait until he knows the situation of our army before crossing the river to attack. What's the problem?"

Zhu Xiu smiled and said: "Just imagine, Yashuai and Mrs. Fu, if you are Yelu Wuyu, with an army of 3, knowing that there are only [-] Han troops in Cangzhou city who are exhausted, and there are only a few broken sampans on the south bank of Zhangshui River. More than a thousand soldiers, will you still take Cangzhou City seriously?
If Yeluwu really wanted to attack the city, he would have sailed south with his warships and launched a massive attack!

Speaking of excitement, Zhu Xiu's eyes lit up and her brows danced, but suddenly she was hit on the head by Fu Jinzhan, who was blushing.

Looking at the shameful and angry beauty with a guilty conscience, Zhu Xiuqian smiled and bowed,

Veteran driver, I’ve learned a lesson!
A hint of embarrassment flashed across Chai Rongjun's face, and he coughed and quickly changed the subject: "According to this, Yeluwu wants to send troops to the north bank, and the target is not Cangzhou City at all? What exactly does he want to do?"

Zhu Xiu said with a smile: "Yashuai is the one in the game, so it is inevitable to see flowers in the fog. It is not difficult to guess Yelu Wuyu's thoughts. Just imagine, the fact that Emperor Yelu Deguang of Liao was seriously ill in Zhenzhou caused an uproar. How could Yelu Wuyu not know about it? And he must know the hidden details better."

Chai Rong seemed to have an electric current running through his mind, and blurted out: "Yelu Wuyu is also waiting for news from Zhenzhou! He has gathered [-] troops, not to attack Cangzhou City, but to compete for the throne!"

"Tooth handsome and wise!"

Zhu Xiu took advantage of the situation and sent a flattery, "Once Yelu Deguang dies, there will be so many people who are qualified to take over the throne of Liao Dynasty. Then it will be all about their fists. Whoever has the bigger fist will be the master!"

Yelu Wuyu was the eldest grandson of Abaoji. He was granted the title of King Yongkang and was also in charge of the military power of the South Campus. He was already in a high position of power. Since he went south, he had been invincible in attacking cities and strongholds. He had a high prestige among the Khitan army!

Once Yelu Deguang died, how could he sit back and watch the throne fall? He would definitely gather a large army to fight for power!Otherwise, no matter how dangerous the land of Cangzhou is, it is not worth his time to raise troops to attack the city again and again!His [-]-strong army was prepared to fight for the throne! "

His words were touching and sensible, just like clearing the clouds and revealing the sun, clearly analyzing the current situation in Hebei.

Chai Rong seemed to be enlightened, and punched his palm hard, his eyes clear: "Yes! Yes! Everything you said makes sense! Since the Khitans retreated to Zhenzhou, they have behaved strangely, which is enough to show that Yelu Deguang His condition is really not optimistic!

Hateful~ Why don’t the officials and important officials in Zhaozhou understand these truths?If the officials choose to fight a decisive battle with the Khitan at this time, it will inevitably arouse the hatred of all the Khitan tribes, which will be detrimental to our army! "

Zhu Xiu glanced around and whispered, "Shuai Ya, be careful what you say."

Chai Rong shook his head and sighed.

In fact, we can’t blame Liu Zhiyuan and the courtiers around him for being short-sighted. After all, Yelu Deguang, the fierce tiger, has been a powerful force in the Central Plains for more than ten years. At this juncture, no one would believe that the majestic Emperor of Liao would die of illness in the prime of life!
Zhu Xiu just looked at the problem from a historical perspective, so he had such faith in the unknown.

A fast horse rushed into the city gate, and a messenger jumped off his horse to salute: "Report to Commander Ya, Marshal Shi Jie ordered me to rush back to report that the Khitan warship has been cruising on the river with no sign of landing!"

Chai Rong said: "Tell Shi Jieshuai not to pay attention. If the Khitan warship approaches, shoot rockets to drive it away."

Soldiers lead away.

Chai Rong suddenly became enlightened at this moment, and the stagnation in his heart dissipated a lot. He looked at Zhu Xiu and smiled warmly: "It seems that I did the right thing by letting you be this marching staff officer. The disciple of the master really has some extraordinary vision and knowledge. "

Zhu Xiu pretended to be modest and said: "Ya Shuai is too famous, and the servants are just doing their duty!" His bald head is quite pleasing to the eye.

Fu Jinzhan pursed his lips and smiled: "Are you really going to go up to the East Gate Tower, watch stars at night, meditate during the day, and not come down until you are sure that Yelu Deguang has died of illness? Can you bear such hard work?"

Zhu Xiu solemnly said: "Yes! The matter is of great importance. For Yashuai, Tianxiong Army, and Cangzhou City, why should Zhu Xiu be afraid of hard work! Not only that, but to show my sincerity, I only drink water every day and do not eat, hoping that God will reveal his power as soon as possible!" "

Chai Rong and Fu Jinzhan looked moved. Chai Rong sighed: "Thank you for your hard work."

Fu Jinzhan pursed his lips and said in a gentle voice: "You have extraordinary abilities at a young age. You have made great contributions to the survival of Cangzhou City. In the future, the people of Cangzhou will definitely remember your kindness."

Zhu Xiu smiled casually and said: "My mentor often taught: 'Every man is responsible for the rise and fall of the world!' In this national crisis, men of our generation should do our best and contribute a small amount to the people of the world!"

The short eight characters fell into the ears of Chai Rong and Fu Jinzhan, and they were as good as the words of Jinshi, which had the effect of inspiring and enlightening!

They grew up in an era when the Khitans were ravaging the Han people. Looking around, the land north of the river was devastated and there was no pure land anywhere!
They have seen the hardships of the common people, and they feel deeply about these eight words.

"Mr. Siyou has the world in mind and is truly a role model for our generation of people with lofty ideals! Please accept Chai Rong's worship!"

Chai Rong couldn't restrain his excitement and bowed towards Tanzhou in the north.

Fu Jinzhan also gathered his trousers and saluted, and sighed softly: "If I can get Master's teachings in this life, I will die without regrets!"

Zhu Xiu quickly stepped aside and bowed solemnly.

Before heading to the East Gate Tower, Zhu Xiu hesitated for a moment and whispered: "Ya Shuai, did the Empress Dowager Shu Luping of Liao really rush to Taizhou (Baoding) from Shangjing (Chifeng, Inner Mongolia)? The news can't be wrong. Bar?"

Chai Rong said strangely: "The news is conclusive, it can't be wrong! What, what's the problem?"

Zhu Xiu secretly breathed a sigh of relief and said hurriedly: "No problem. Take care of yourself, Mr. Ya and Madam Fu, and stay on your way!"

Zhu Xiu waved to Ma San, who was waiting aside. Under the attention of everyone, the master and servant climbed up to the east gate tower calmly.

Zhu Xiu clearly remembers a historical record, which states that Luping hurried south from Shangjing, just a few days before Yelu Deguang died.

The first purpose was to confirm the death of his son Yelu Deguang, and the second was to prepare for the appointment of a new emperor.

It is a pity that the empress dowager, who is quite skillful, wants to go head-on with her good grandson, Yeluwu, to start a fierce internal confrontation over the throne of Daliao.

With this news, Zhu Xiucai dared to go to the East Gate Tower to watch the stars, otherwise the devil knows when that old boy Yelu Deguang will die.

If it were delayed for two or three months, wouldn't he really want to become an immortal on the East Gate Tower?

Under the awed and reverent gazes of all the Tianxiong Army soldiers, Zhu Xiu stepped onto the city climb with a solemn face and walked resolutely towards the city tower.

Ma San was carrying a baggage and followed him step by step.

"Three, have you brought everything?" Zhu Xiu curled her lips and whispered very quietly.

Ma San swallowed and lowered his voice: "Three sesame pancakes smeared with soybean paste and two jugs of water are enough for a small official to eat for two days."

"No meat?"

"I didn't have time to do it because I was afraid of exposing the smell! I'll bring it back in two days!"

"Smart! On the road! Master, I am very satisfied with you!"

".Thank you for the compliment, little official."
