Rubbing her face vigorously, a painful expression flashed in Yeluzhen's eyes.

Sun Chun looked at him silently and didn't speak.

It seems that she is waiting for Yeluzhen to make some decision.

The morning sun has already made people feel its warmth. Yeluzhen opened his collar, not caring about his own image, and opened his mouth like a fish that was thrown off the shore, breathing hard.

In Daliao, there were not many people who could scheme against Yelu Zhen. Most of them only had one mouth left and did not have much ability other than gibbering.

As for the only few who had the ability, it was Yeluzhen himself who acted as a guarantee before letting them go.

People like Yelu Longxu and Yelu Bianji.

"What did the Queen Mother say?"

Sun Chundao: "After you encountered difficulties in Jianghuai, Yelu Longxu began to slack off in Xiangfan. When you sent troops to Xuzhou City, he was preparing to retreat. When the news of your failure came, he did not report to the Queen Mother

After asking for any instructions, he immediately led his troops to retreat. As a flank, their troops were originally going to attack Xiangfan, forcing the Song army to mobilize reinforcements there to reduce the pressure on Jianghuai, but he did not do this.

At one point, Xiangfan even mobilized most of its naval forces and invested them in the Jianghuai River. Food and wages from the two lakes and Yizhou Road were continuously invested in the Jianghuai River."

Yeluzhen sighed: "He thinks that if I do this, I will definitely fail."

"But that's not how he expressed his position at the imperial meeting!" Sun Chun snorted coldly: "If you have problems, you can raise them in person. If you don't say them in person, you should do your best when executing them. As for the Yelu Braiding Machine, it's time to

Zhending Mansion, they refused to go south anymore on the pretext of resisting Zhang Cheng. Do you need 20,000 Pishi troops to defend Zhending Mansion? Where is the root, and the King of Zhennan should know it, right?"

Yeluzhen nodded.

These people are out-and-out imperialists. When they felt that this southern expedition was likely to fail, they no longer tried their best and began to accumulate strength. As for what they wanted to do, blind man

He also knows it well.

"The Queen Mother wants to know your attitude!" Sun Chun said: "Yelu Longxu, Yelu Bianji and the others, do they really think that they can do whatever they want with the military power in their hands? Do they really think that I am not prepared at all?"

"No!" Yeluzhen blurted out. The Sun Chun in front of him, in addition to the identity of the Minister of Civil Affairs disclosed by the imperial court, also had another identity, the deacon of the Daliao School Affairs Office. In the past ten years, the School Affairs Office has already

Yeluzhen was well aware of the terror of the former Daliao intelligence agency and the school affairs office. The preparations Sun Chun was talking about were just to eliminate these guys physically.

There is no doubt that this is the simplest and most direct method.

"They want to kill you!"

"I know!" Yeluzhen nodded and said: "But with the defeat of Jianghuai, Daliao has fallen into a passive position in terms of strategy. The fishing in the past few years has also accumulated domestic conflicts to a critical value. With this time

A great defeat is bound to break out. Internal and external difficulties are the problems we must face next. Yelu Longxu and Yelu Bianji are rare talents, and in the next contest with the Song Dynasty, these people can play a more powerful role.

Big effect.”

"you prepare?"

"I'll go back to Shangjing!" Yeluzhen said; "Let Yelu Longxu be the governor of Nanjing Road and be in charge of Xijin Mansion, Yelv Bianji be in charge of Hebei Road, and Sun Chun, I will stay in Shangjing. They should be able to accept this plan."

Strictly speaking, Yeluzhen was not considered a real rear party, but could only be regarded as a political alliance of the Queen Mother. People like Yelu Longxu wanted to kill Yeluzhen just because they felt that Yeluzhen would continue to fight in order to maintain his power.

Supported the Queen Mother's autocratic power and refused to return power to the emperor.

But now that the plan proposed by Yeluzhen has allowed the Imperial Party to gain real power and made them feel that the future is promising, they will no longer take desperate risks, but will slowly pursue it. And Yeluzhen went to the Imperial Party's home base to go to Beijing, which is tantamount to

I watched this place for the Queen Mother.

To put it bluntly, Yeluzhen still acted as a buffer zone, just like before.

Only this time, Yeluzhen sacrificed her own great interests.

After all, the governor of Nanjing and the governor of Shangjing were equal in name, but in terms of actual power, they were worlds apart.

"The Queen Mother will not agree!" Sun Chun said flatly.

"This is the punishment for my failure in the Southern Expedition! I deserve it!" Yeluzhen said: "This is also the best choice to ease domestic conflicts. In this way, we can work together and overcome this difficulty first. Otherwise, I am afraid that the country will be the first to do so.

There will be chaos! The Queen Mother is well aware of the situation, so she asked you to come to me. And Sun Chun, from now on, the focus of Daliao will be at home."

After a long silence, Sun Chun said: "Since King Zhennan has made up his mind, I will quietly deal with those people who are planning to assassinate you. I will report your plan to the Queen Mother."

"Don't kill those people, leave them to me. I want to have a good talk with Yelu Longxu and the others!"

"King Zhennan, your heart has softened!"

"It's not that we have become soft, but we have suffered too much loss this time." Yeluzhen said with a bitter smile: "These people dare to come and assassinate me, but they are also good men. If they leave a life behind, they might be able to do something big in the future!

"

"It's up to you, but one of them is named Lin. Do you really want to stay?"

"Is there any descendants of the Lin family?"

"One of Lin Ping's sons was hidden by Yelu Longxu!" Sun Chun said with a smile.

"This is really, really true." Yeluzhen was speechless and shook her head in disbelief.

"Yelu Longxu did not cultivate this person carefully. Instead, he treated him as a dead soldier since he was a child. In vain, Lin Ping regarded him as a confidant. The only fish that slipped through the net in the Lin family is now a simple-minded person.

A pure warrior, I am too lazy to kill him!" Sun Chun said with a smile: "Since you want it, I will give it to you, my lord, then I will go, you should take care of yourself!"

"I would also like to ask the Queen Mother to think about how to deal with the next crisis as soon as possible."

"If the army can be stabilized, everything else will be easy to deal with!" Sun Chun said: "Da Liao must be huge. Even if it starts to decline from now on, it will take time. Even if Song is strong and Liao is weak in the future, as long as the people are united,

It’s okay to be conservative! For this reason, the Queen Mother has already begun to compromise!”

Yeluzhen cupped her fists and said, "Thank you Queen Mother for me. I will try my best to bring more troops back!"

Kaifeng, Tokyo city.

This large city that used to have a population of one million is now in dilapidated condition. The once prosperity has long become a thing of the past, and everything is desolate. Even the remaining people live cautiously and cautiously.

In the past few days, nearly 100,000 troops have once again poured into Tokyo from all over the city.

More than a year ago, more than 200,000 troops set out from here and launched an attack to the south. Now, only half of them have returned.

The King of Zhao and the King of Song have now reported to King Yama.

If it was said that more than a year ago, the Liao army still had discipline and discipline, but now, the withdrawn Liao army no longer has any scruples, and the officers of the Liao army are not in the mood to take care of the soldiers who are killing, killing and looting everywhere.

Because they understood that soon, they would not be able to stay in this city any longer. They were defeated in the front, and the Song army might come over at any time. They would retreat with an order from above.

Sooner or later, this city will belong to someone else.

Therefore, there is nothing to cherish.

This time during the southern expedition, nothing was harvested, so we could only get some three melons and two dates as comfort in this city that had long since ceased to be wealthy.

This caused the remaining people in Tokyo to once again live in dire straits.

A man was hunched over, leaning against the wall of the alley as closely as possible, moving forward quietly like a cat.

Suddenly, bursts of unbridled laughter and other screams and pleas came from the front.

The man was stunned and suddenly stood up.

Not far in front of him, in an open courtyard door, two open-minded Liao people came out laughing. They were holding a rope in their hands. At the end of the rope, a man in clothes was tied.

The disheveled woman was led out staggeringly like an animal, and behind the woman, a man limped out, pleading and pleading, and there were also children coming from inside the house.

of cries.

Look at the two men, they are still covered with some cloth, and they are carrying a few chickens and ducks in their free hands.

Obviously, they had just committed violence in this house, and now they wanted to kidnap the woman from this house.

"come here!"

Although they did not want to cause trouble, the two Liao soldiers saw the hunched man and immediately shouted loudly. Although they could not understand the Khitan language, their opponents' hooked fingers made it clear what they meant.

The man frowned.

The leading Liao man had his hand on the handle of the knife. It was obvious that they were not prepared to let him go.

"Master Jun, here we come, here we come, I just happened to pass by and didn't see anything." The man nodded and walked over.

When he got close to the Liao man in front, the Liao man suddenly drew his sword and cut him off with one blow.

The man, who looked harmless and even a bit wretched, slipped forward and threw himself into the Liao man's arms. He just stuck there, then he circled the Liao man's body and got under the opponent's ribs.

When he came out, the smile on the face of the Liao man who was holding the rope had not disappeared, and he saw the bloody short blade in the man's hand. Before he could recover, the man waved his hand, and several pieces of the short blade flew up.

There were beads of blood, and then the short blade penetrated under the ribs of the second person, Liao Ren. The Liao Ren opened his mouth a few times and wanted to shout out, but no sound came out, so he fell to the ground.

The cries of men and women in the house suddenly stopped.

They stared dumbfounded at the sudden appearance of this man.

"If I were you, quickly drag the corpses of these two beasts into the house and hide them, or else let his companions find them, and you will be in misery!" The man picked up a corpse and threw it into the house with his hand.

In the yard, "dig a hole and bury it!"

After leaving these words behind, the man walked towards the distance like a ghost, killing two people in a row without even a drop of blood being spattered on him.

The man walked around left and right, and finally, through a corner door, he entered the most special home in Tokyo.

Unlike the dilapidated lintels of those once wealthy families in Tokyo, this one is completely different.

Walking on the street, you can even see a group of soldiers standing guard outside, although there is only one old man living in this big house now.
