Chapter 14
On this spring night, on the long bridge, Liu Chengyou's words were completely opened, as if he wanted to say enough words to keep in his heart since he traveled through time. The cold face had a little more active color, and he talked freely and talked endlessly. Seeing the second son pointing the country, Liu Zhiyuan quietly looked in front of the listener.
"In the afternoon of the day, after the discussion, I specially invited General Wang Xiufeng to the courtyard house to consult the Central Plains and Khitan affairs, which made a lot of gains!" When he was excited, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but add a small move in his hand and wandered in the air for a few times: "General Wang concluded that the Khitans were not as difficult as he imagined. The Khitans would definitely not be able to defend the Central Plains, and they would retreat north sooner or later!"
"Tell me!" Liu Zhiyuan's face was still full of interest.
Liu Chengyou's interest was obviously also coming, so he stood up, walked a few steps in front of his father and brother, and said, "What my father feared the most was Yelu Deguang and the Khitan army. What a powerful force that the 300,000 people were. However, after careful analysis, it was not that scary!"
"The Khitans are known as 300,000, but how many elite soldiers are occupied by the warriors? From the south, before the Battle of Hutuo River, it was not a smooth road. The battles were fought all the way, and the soldiers were reduced, and the amount was no longer full. The land of Ji and Zhao was vast. The prefectures and counties passed by were also left to control the local area. Those who were strong cities and fortresses were like Zhenzhou, and the heavy troops were stationed to protect the retreat."
"After entering Bianliang, he sent troops to plunder everywhere. Guanzhong and Heyang also sent troops and horses. Hundreds of thousands of troops were scattered in various states, but he specialized in plundering and enjoying the colorful world of the Central Plains. His morale will inevitably fade away."
"However, these are not the most important. The tyranny and abuse of the Khitans will be repeated by the Central Plains people. There is no doubt that Yelu Deguang was sitting on the fire at this time and did not know that he was strong with 300,000 Hu soldiers, but he did not know that the anger of the Central Plains people would burst out, enough to make him smashed to pieces."
"The Jin army surrendered 100,000 soldiers, who were suspicious of being harsh and suspicious. They were threatened by their lives when they returned. They were angry and complained. Although Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen were suppressed, the two of them had long been despised. General Wang said that the surrendered soldiers were too tired of their surrender without fighting and became enemies for the tiger. The 100,000 soldiers were not only not the help of the Khitans to control the Central Plains, but now it has become a fatal threat to his couch!"
"The money was widely used to make the remaining ministers of the Jin Dynasty who were originally dependent gradually become disinterested. When they met the surrendered Jiedu, they died or were humiliated, the rest were also confined to Bianliang and never returned to the town. In Bianjie, those with outstanding qualifications, abilities and prestige were deeply afraid of Yelu Deguang. They probably regretted the surrender of the Khitan. If they lost the desire for the Jiedu, they would not want to be stable in the place."
"And local governors still have a certain amount of strength in their hands. As long as someone takes the lead in resisting the Khitan, they will inevitably respond."
"My father may only send tens of thousands of troops to fight in Hedong, but the ones that complement each other are millions of soldiers and civilians in the Central Plains and Hebei."
"And now that the ice and snow have disappeared, the weather has warmed up, and many Khitan soldiers have been expeditioning thousands of miles away, it is inevitable that there will be people who are not accommodating the land and land. Once the Central Plains people rise up and fight against each other and attack together, how can Yelu Deguang stay for a long time?"
“…”
After a big discussion, Liu Chengyou made himself feel a little excited. He let out a long sigh, slowly calmed down his ups and downs, and sat next to his father and brother again.
Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Chengxun both watched Liu Chengyou, who was gradually regaining autism, with a complex expression. After digesting what Liu Chengyou said, Liu Zhiyuan sighed softly: "Aren't these all Wang Xiufeng taught you..."
"Son, please make a mistake. If there are any omissions and inappropriate points, please forgive me!" Liu Chengyou lowered his head slightly and made a modest attitude.
After staring at Liu Chengyou for a long time, Liu Zhiyuan suddenly stroked his beard and sighed, "I never thought that my son had such knowledge, so I feel so comforted!" As he sighed, Yu Guang couldn't help but scan the eldest son beside him.
He looked up at the surroundings. The Zhongcheng Bridge became quieter. He supported the ground with his hands and was about to get up. At this time, Liu Chengxun immediately came up and helped Liu Zhiyuan up.
"It's late, let's go back to the house to rest!" After saying a word, he didn't say anything more. Under the escort of the guards, Liu Zhiyuan walked slowly first.
Liu Chengyou and Liu Chengxun also accompanied him down the bridge. Liu Chengyou continued to be autistic, but Liu Chengxun no longer took the initiative to talk like before. When he got on the car, Liu Chengxun could not help but look in the direction of his second brother, with his expression particularly complicated...
What Liu Chengxun didn't know was that in the car he was looking at, through the gap in the curtains, Liu Chengyou also looked at his figure. The difference was that there was no so-called complicated expression on Liu Chengyou's face, but just indifferent.
......
Since the meeting that day, the undercurrent called "Persuading for Advance" in Jinyang City has become increasingly violent. In this matter, it is rare for Hedong civil and military officials to work together to promote Liu Zhiyuan to the throne of God.
However, Liu Zhiyuan's attitude was still unpredictable. He neither agreed nor refused, but he just turned a cold face and refused to respond. Later, he even handed over all the important political affairs to his subordinates and no longer took matters. He lived in the palace of the Prince of Peking, accompanied his wife Li, and personally trained Liu Chengxun, the Sanlang of the Liu family.
Liu Zhiyuan was able to sit firmly on Diaoyutai, but the civil and military officials below did not stop at all and actively gathered together. For a moment, Jinyang City seemed messy.
Among the civil and military officials in Hedong, there are many smart people, such as Yang Bin, Wang Zhang, and Guo Wei, who have been following for a long time, probably guessed Liu Zhiyuan's intention to wait and see, and he did not gather like the people below, but instead tried his best to comfort him.
Later generations like Wang Jun were eager to make contributions, so they found some literati and ran around the market, proclaiming what he saw and heard along the way, making Khitan atrocities public, and even vigorously promoting the "Khitan threat theory", saying that the Khitan army might send troops to Hedong at any time.
Of course, the most important thing is that the world needs a hero who can destroy the barbarians, destroy the country, and rebuild the world. This hero is naturally the only one who must be Liu Gong of Taiyuan!
Wang Jun's approach is very smart. Just as Liu Chengyou said in the conversation opposite him that day, General Wang Xiufeng was a smart person. At least, before he achieved success and his personality defects were exposed, Wang Jun was indeed a very smart person. He played a good job in building momentum.
A few days after Wang Jun sent Bian back, Bai Wenke, the deputy left-behind Beijing who also went south to pay homage, also returned. Compared to Wang Jun, his back and forth was much faster, and he also seemed even more embarrassed.
The old general over 70 years old still looked very strong. He didn't care about his hard work. With all his clothes, he directly met Liu Zhiyuan and reported to him about his return mission.
Liu Zhiyuan was secretly listening to Liu Chong, Liu Xin, Shi Hongzhao, Guo Wei and others in the study to report the situation in the army. Brother Liu Chengyou was also listed, and he also told the situation of Long Qi army.
He ordered Bai Wenke to sit down with his left and right, and Liu Zhiyuan asked, "Duke Dewen, how about the trip to Bianliang?"
Bai Wenke first said thanks, and then shook his head, with a hint of grove on his old face, with some emotion: "The Khitan government chaos, I am afraid I can't stay in China for a long time! I watched the ceremony of the Khitan throne ceremony, with a heavy face, and no prosperity of the establishment of the new dynasty."
"It's similar to what Wang Jun got!" Liu Zhiyuan sighed.
Bai Wenke continued: "When I left Bian, the Khitan Lord asked me to bring you a word!"
"Then I need to listen to it!" Liu Zhiyuan seemed very relaxed.
"The Khitan Lord said that the king was not in the Southern Dynasties nor in the Northern Dynasties. What were he waiting for and what were his plans?" Bai Wenke said.
"Haha..." Liu Zhiyuan smiled and glanced at the officers present: "It seems that the Khitan master has no more patience with Gu and Hedong!"
"King, such questions are enough to express his suspicion. Now there is no way back!" Guo Wei again, and he responded very quickly, "According to the words of Wang Xiufeng and Bai Gong, the Khitan must be corrupt and cruel, so there will be no China for a long time. Please don't hesitate anymore!"
Liu Zhiyuan still did not respond.
