From last winter to now, I have been sitting firmly in Jinyang and watching the development of the world for nearly half a year. As the situation becomes clearer, especially after Liu Chengyou and Shi Hongzhao made achievements in both sides of the army, Liu Zhiyuan finally couldn't sit still.

Yelu Deguang's return to the north was a foregone conclusion. On the surface, it should not be a conspiracy. With the continuous "good news" in various places, Liu Zhiyuan also felt relieved.

Previously, the Khitan had occupied the Central Plains and Hebei, and the situation could not be stopped. If you were a little more cautious, you could explain it with caution. However, if you still stay in this situation, it would be really disappointing.

No matter how many heroes of a generation, when it is time to be decisive, Liu Zhiyuan is as decisive as he is.

Liu Zhiyuan got the throne of the emperor, which seemed as easy as picking up. After becoming emperor, he stayed in Jinyang. The real big move after the founding of the New Dynasty was Liu Chengyou's "Southern Expedition". In contrast, the emperor Liu Zhiyuan became much more "low-key".

However, never underestimate a founding monarch. It can be seen from the fact that everything is under Liu Zhiyuan's control.

After becoming emperor, although he did not do much on the surface, in fact, Liu Zhiyuan did a lot of things in an orderly manner. He won the hearts of the people, calmed the morale of the army, adjusted the Jinyang imperial troops, and completely controlled the army.

A major adjustment was made to the prefectures under the former Hedong Jiedu, including Qin, Liao, Shi, Fen, Lan, Xian, Xin, Dai, and even the poorly controlled states. The officials and troops were considered in all aspects, and basically prepared for him to lead the main force in Hedong to south.

At the same time, in the past two months after becoming emperor, Liu Zhiyuan built the central system of the court. This process was not simply replaced by the former Hedong ministers, and the establishment of several officials and positions could be completed. Although Liu Zhiyuan basically did this.

Even so, the construction of economic structure, power, system, rituals, etc. seemed extremely simple, and there were many mistakes and omissions. But in the end, the stage of the "Later Han" was set up by Liu Zhiyuan. Until not long ago, Liu Zhiyuan conducted a large-scale official title and reward, giving the long-awaited ministers to the dragon to gather people's hearts.

Until Yelu Deguang went north to Anyang, Liu Zhiyuan arranged everything, with his elder brother Liu Chong as the stay-at-home in Beijing and his prince Liu Chengxun as the prefect of Taiyuan, which was considered as the guardian's nest. Later, all the Hedong cavalry troops were formed, and the vast "Nan Xing" was "Southern Xun".

Liu Zhiyuan advanced south almost a month earlier than in the original history!

Unlike Liu Chengyou and Shi Hongzhao's route to the south, Liu Zhiyuan chose the Western Front for the march, and wanted to go to Jin, Jiang, Jingjie, Shaanxi and Heluo in the east.

Compared with Luze, Heyang and other places that have been basically opened, there are obviously more obstacles on the western front. However, the problem is not too big. Jinzhou was previously restored by Murong Yanzhao, and after staying, Zhang Yanhong's rectification is under control.

As for Shanzhou, this is the "first place". At that time, before Liu Zhiyuan had already proclaimed the emperor, Zhao Hui, Hou Zhang and Wang Yan had already raised troops to fight against the war. Only Jiang and Jiezhou had envoys sent by Yelu Deguang to the sect, so there was no intention of giving up his destiny.

However, when Liu Zhiyuan's army marched south and Yao's troops were under Zhengping City, the reactions of the civil and military officials in Jiangzhou were very real.

"Your Majesty, Jiangzhou has surrendered!" In addition to the imperial guards, the ceremonial commander Guo Yunming Dynasty Liu Zhiyuan said.

"I saw it!" Liu Zhiyuan's expression was obviously very calm, looking as if he was taken for granted.

Yes, if Jiangzhou really insists on his own and chooses to resist stubbornly, then Liu Zhiyuan will be surprised. You must know that since entering Jiangzhou, all the counties and towns passed by all the way have been subdued.

After all, the officials and generals appointed by Yelu Deguang were mostly Han people. In the context of the retreat of the Khitan forces, there was no need to resist tenaciously in the face of the tens of thousands of soldiers in Hedong.

"I sent an order to set up camps on the spot, and ordered Guo Wei to lead troops into the city to investigate and lead the surrendered ministers from the city to the imperial camp to see the emperor!" Liu Zhiyuan ordered indifferently, and after two months, the majesty was getting stronger and stronger, so people dared not look at him sideways.

"yes!"

In addition to the governor Li Conglang, the chief officials of Jiangzhou also had two Khitan-appointed school Cheng Baqing, Cao Kefan, who was very respectful in the face of Liu Zhiyuan's summons. He did not dare to have any reservations, and he was ashamed of Chen Xiaoshun.

Liu Zhiyuan asked them why they had not surrendered before and had to surrender when they arrived at the city. The three of them had a very honest answer, saying that they were afraid of being punished for being ordered by the barbarians in the previous period, but the emperor dared not surrender.

It made Liu Zhiyuan amused. In order to reassure Liu Zhiyuan, the three of them were very sensible and asked to be dismissed.

In response to this, Liu Zhiyuan naturally followed the situation and left the three people to the army to listen to it, and entrusted others to take office in Jiangzhou. All the way through the road was the retreat, so Liu Zhiyuan had to be more careful.

......

In the evening, after only a moment of rest in the built tent, Liu Zhiyuan took charge of military and political affairs. The country was established, especially in a critical period of conquering the country. He had too many things to worry about and did not dare to neglect any. With his current age, he worked very hard.

In the tent, some eunuchs had lit up candles to prevent Liu Zhiyuan from seeing things clearly. On the seats on both sides, Su Fengji and Su Yugui were sitting upright, holding some memorials and reciting them.

Er Su is still a close minister of the emperor and is granted the title of Secretariat of the Secretariat and the same affairs as Su Fengji is more favored, so he added a Grand Secretary of Jixian Hall. He followed the south and handled common affairs in front of the imperial court.

This time, Yang Bin and Wang Zhang were left in Jinyang, where Yang Bin and Wang Zhang were coordinated with political affairs, dispatched grain and equipment, and supported the front line. This time, Liu Zhiyuan not only launched elite troops, but also wanted to make Hedong and make every effort to advance the Central Plains, Hebei, and settle the country, so the responsibilities of the rear were particularly important. And Liu Zhiyuan believed that he had the ability to coordinate these complicated affairs without shortage of military supplies, and no fellow villagers, Yang Bin and Wang Zhang.

At this time, what the two of them recited was basically good news.

Su Fengji: "The official inspection of Yanzhou military affairs, Gao Yunquan, submitted a letter of surrender!"

Su Yugui: "The commander-in-chief of Danzhou, Gao Yanxun, the governor of the military and state affairs, submitted a letter to the emperor."

Su Fengji: "Zhe, the governor of the Yong'an Army, followed Ruan, and the Yong'an army has been reorganized."

"Zhao Hui, Shaanxi Province, has led his army north to welcome the imperial guards."

"Shi Hongzhao, the commander of the Guards and Infantry Commander, has reported that the thief Heyang Jiedushi Cui Tingxun has besieged the city of Hanoi, and it will be destroyed soon!"

"Heyang Wu Xingde reported that the false order of Liu Xi, who stayed in Xijing, abandoned Luocheng. The inspector Fang Tai of Luojing was in charge of the matter. Yingcheng disobeyed and killed him. The fake order of the Khitan was Xiao Han, the governor of Xuanwu Army, sent foreign general Gao Mouhan to send troops to Liu Xi back to Luo. He was outnumbered and retreated to Mengzhou."
