The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 262
Cao's house.

Cao Bin is almost 50 years old, and he is tall, but he is much more thoughtful than his son Cao Jue.

When King Wei's letter arrived, he immediately understood what King Wei meant.

After listening to what Liu Wei asked Cao Jue to convey to him, he understood what was going on. Now that King Wei suddenly asked to see him, it was obvious that Liu Wei guessed that someone wanted to gain military power through him.

If Liu Wei is known at this time, how can he go to see King Wei in order to avoid being suspected?
After calling Cao Jue, Cao Bin said: "Your father-in-law Wei Wangyue went to Qingxianglou for dinner with his father, but his father was in a hurry to enter the palace to discuss with the Holy One about helping Li Yu restore the country. Let's make an appointment with you and go for your father. , you and King Wei may not have seen each other for a long time, you are his son-in-law, you should spend more time with him."

At first, Cao Jue didn't think much about it, and went directly to Qingxiang Tower after ordering his father's life.

After entering the Qingxiang Building, he saw that there was no guest in the whole building, which made him feel a little strange.

Seeing Cao Jue coming, the owner of Qingxiang Building hurried over: "Sorry, we don't pick up customers today..."

Cao Jue frowned: "I don't have eyes, so I can't recognize who is the young master?"

The owner of Qingxiang Building was taken aback for a moment, and at this moment, Cao Jue asked again: "Where is the guest waiting in that room?"

The owner of Qingxiang Building was dumbfounded by the question, and quickly said, "Tianzi No. [-] room."

Cao Jue nodded, and then went upstairs. At this time, the owner of Qingxiang Building thought he was wrong, and hurried forward to stop him. Just as he was going to stop him, the door of Tianzi No. [-] room was already opened.

"what happened?"

The owner of Qingxiang Building hurried forward: "Guest, this person has to come up, little one..."

The person who came out of Tianzi No. [-] room was a strong man. He glanced at Cao Jue, and then at the owner of Qingxianglou: "Go down, you don't have to worry about things here."

The owner of Qingxiang Building backed away quickly, and at this moment, the strong man bowed his hands to Cao Jue and said, "So it's Cao Concubine, don't you know your father?"

"Where is my father-in-law?"

"inside."

As the two said this, King Wei's voice came from inside: "Let Cao Jue in."

Cao Jue entered the house, bowed to the king of Wei, and said, "Before my father received the letter from my father-in-law, the Holy Majesty had already sent someone to the palace to inquire about the preparations for the war, so I couldn't come to the appointment, so I asked my son-in-law to tell my father-in-law. "

"Cao Bin isn't coming?"

"Yes!"

Wei Wang frowned slightly, but he soon understood what was going on. If Cao Bin didn't come, he must have felt that it was inappropriate for them to meet at this juncture, but he didn't understand Cao Bin's intentions. Are you willing to cling to yourself, or are you willing to cling to yourself?
"Did your father say anything when he asked you to come?"

"Yes, my father said that my son-in-law has not been able to get together with my father-in-law for a long time, so I want my son-in-law to have a good reunion with my father-in-law."

This is a very common sentence, but King Wei was overjoyed when he heard it. As a general in the court, it would be very dangerous for Cao Bin to get close to that prince, but Cao Jue was different. It's my son-in-law, isn't the father-in-law not allowed to see his son-in-law?
"Okay, okay, if that's the case, then come and have a few more drinks with your father-in-law."

Liao.

Years later, the wind in Liao country was still cold, and it was painful to blow on people's faces.

Ye Luxian frowned, looked at Li Yin and said, "Sir, now the Song Dynasty has sent Shi Shouxin, I heard that Shi Shouxin is a good soldier, and the people of the Northern Han Dynasty may not be their opponents."

Li Yin smiled: "Your Majesty, don't worry. Although Shi Shouxin is powerful, the Liao Kingdom is not without famous generals. Even we Liao people are afraid of Liu Jiye. With him in the Northern Han Dynasty, he can be regarded as a section of the Great Wall. "

When Li Yin mentioned Liu Jiye, Ye Luxian couldn't help but nodded: "This Liu Jiye is really a famous general of the Northern Han Dynasty. Looking at all the countries, there is really no one who can match him. Even the famous general Cao Bin of the Northern Song Dynasty, I am afraid You should also be inferior to him."

Li Yin nodded: "That's right, so we don't have to be afraid that the Song people will do anything to the Northern Han Dynasty, which will cause our Liao Kingdom to lose a natural barrier, and the Song people will soon be at war with the Southern Tang Dynasty. consider."

After Li Yin finished speaking, Ye Luxian did not relax, and shook his head: "If the Song people can destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop, then the Great Song Dynasty must put all its energy in the north. In this way, the Northern Han Dynasty is in danger, and Our Liao people will also fight hand to hand with Song people, which is not a good thing for our Liao country."

Li Yin smiled: "Don't worry, my lord, the Song people can't destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, they just want Li Yu to return to the country, if they really want to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, why should they help Li Yu restore the country? Although the Southern Tang Dynasty is weak, But it's not so weak that it can't be vulnerable, and now Da Song doesn't dare to really fight Nan Tang."

"Oh?" Ye Luxian was a little puzzled, and continued to ask: "Why do you see it? As far as I know, the lips are dead and the teeth are cold, and the false way is attacking Guo. How could the Song people not take advantage of the opportunity to help Li Yu restore the country and destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty in one fell swoop? "

After hearing Ye Luxian's words, Li Yin smiled slightly. The two words "False Dao and False Heart" and "False Lips and Teeth Cold" are inappropriate when used in Song Dynasty and Southern Tang Dynasty, but he still understands Ye Luxian's meaning.

"Because it's not easy."

"not easy?"

"That's right, the Song Dynasty wants to help Li Yu restore the country, in the name of Li Yu. In this way, they can quickly defeat Li Congshan, but if they want to destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty, how can the people and soldiers of the Southern Tang Dynasty give up? ?The Southern Tang Dynasty is rich, and its military strength is not weak. Although Li Yu is cowardly, he has not yet reached the point of being unbearable, so the Song Dynasty will not really destroy the Southern Tang Dynasty. They will send Li Yu back to the country, and then let Li Yu continue to have fun and continue The defeated country, they will not really destroy the Southern Tang until the Southern Tang is no longer strong enough to resist the blow of the Great Song."

After Li Yin explained these words, Ye Luxian also understood, and then nodded again and again: "In this case, we might as well intensify the intrusion on Da Song, anyway, Da Song may not take care of us for the time being."

Li Yin smiled: "That's not necessary, winter is coming to an end, we just need to grab some food. If Da Song is really angered, I'm afraid we won't be able to please him."

Ye Luxian felt that Li Yin's words might make others want to destroy his prestige, but thinking that Li Yin had never missed it, he could only nod in agreement.

At the beginning of February, the outside of Bianjing was already full of willows and flowers.

The spring breeze was blowing, with an indescribable softness.

On such a morning, Cao Bin rushed to the territory of Southern Tang with [-] soldiers and horses, Li Yu, the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty, and their Southern Tang courtiers.

When Li Yu left, he looked back at Bianjing City, a place more prosperous than his Jinling City, and he swore he would never come again from now on.

Liu Wei was sitting opposite Li Yu, but he didn't know Li Yu's thoughts. If he knew, he might not be able to help but laugh out loud, because he knew that Li Yu would spend his last years in Bianjing City .

The team set off in a mighty way, and all they saw along the way were spring scenery and greenery.

After walking like this for a few days, Cao Bin called Liu Wei over.

"Master Liu is a smart man, do you have any advice on how to attack Li Congshan?"

Liu Wei smiled: "General Cao is the famous founding general of the Song Dynasty. If I, a junior, dare to give any advice, I will listen to General Cao."

Cao Bin shook his head: "How can this be done? Although Mr. Liu is the supervisor of the army, I have great admiration for Mr. Liu's intelligence. You might as well tell us how we should fight."

Seeing Cao Bin like this, Liu Wei had no choice but to say reluctantly: "Actually, with Li Yu here, it is not very difficult for us to attack the Southern Tang Dynasty. First of all, we need to spread the news, saying that Da Song escorted their lord back to the country , to crusade against the rebel Li Congshan, many people in the Southern Tang Dynasty still respect Li Yu very much, as long as this news spreads, we will first get support from the people."

"Then, we cut off the supply of refined salt from the Song Dynasty to the Southern Tang Dynasty. Without refined salt, those people still won't make trouble with Li Congshan? They're afraid that they will look at us to send their king back. If the people make a fuss, Li Congshan It must be difficult to parry."

"The last thing we need to do is to send letters to Wu Yue and Chen Hongjin of Qingyuan County, asking them to help us fight against Li Congshan. In this way, Li Congshan has powerful enemies around him and people making trouble inside. Do you think he still has the energy to deal with us?"

After Cao Bin listened, he praised again and again.

Liu Wei smiled lightly again: "This just makes Li Congshan feel at a loss what to do, but as long as Li Congshan has military power in his hands, we will inevitably fight him, so the next thing we have to do is to disperse his army's morale."

"How to distract the army?"

"Of course it depends on Li Yu. Anyway, Li Yu is the lord of the Southern Tang Dynasty. If he speaks, will those soldiers turn against him? In fact, General Cao should understand that many soldiers in the Southern Tang Dynasty really agree with Li Congshan. ? They were just deceived by Li Congshan, when they knew that our Da Song did not really detain Li Yu, would they welcome Li Yu back?"

"To be honest, Li Yu's talents are unique in the Southern Tang Dynasty. With his talents, there will be a group of supporters. Compared with Li Congshan, although he has both civil and military skills, he is not amazing enough. One of the characteristics of people is that they have great ambitions and few talents.”

After Liu Wei finished speaking, Cao Bin's heart was already excited. He felt that what Liu Wei said was too correct, and his analysis was more comprehensive than he thought.

And after thinking of this, he had an idea, he couldn't help but ask Liu Wei, who is he supporting now that the court is fighting for power and profit?If Liu Wei supports anyone, he will support whoever, because he thinks it is very dangerous to go against Liu Wei.

But after thinking about it, he still held back.
