Yi Shenzheng was full of exaggeration in his heart. Regardless of whether he could do it or not, he promised without hesitation: "I am willing to listen to Secretary Zhang's orders."
Compared with Yi Shenzheng's exaggeration, Chen Chuyao is a truly capable and capable minister.
The counterattack against the Central Plains in Nanchang Prefecture is still justified.
It was only Chen Chuyao's lack of experience and lack of available soldiers that allowed Cao Bin to counterattack.
Facing Zhang Jin, the emperor of the Central Plains, Chen Chuyao suppressed the joy in his heart and bowed: "I don't know what Secretary Zhang has ordered. I will do my best to serve you."
Zhang Jin nodded with satisfaction. Over the years of his career as a Wude Secretary, he had developed a serious character and said, "You must have heard of His Majesty's ambition."
In order to express himself, Yi Shenzheng responded quickly: "I have heard that, first, I pray for the unification of all the Xia, restore the homeland of the Han and Tang Dynasties, and regain China. Second, I pray for the Khitans to go directly to Linhuang Mansion in Beijing and take back the tokens of emperors and saints that have been passed down by China for thousands of years.
, Capture the Khitan Emperor to avenge his humiliation."
Luo Youdu never hides his purpose. The goal he sets for himself is also a small goal for the entire court.
What Yi Shenzheng was best at was flattering others and adapting to the wind. After the fall of Meng Shu, he had already begun to study and speculate on Luo Youdu's preferences, and he spoke freely about his political goals.
Chen Chuyao obviously knew that, but he just let Yi Shenzheng take the lead.
Zhang Jindao: "The Khitan territory is vast, but its core area is among the mountains and forests of the northeast. How the imperial court will attack in the future is too far in the future and no one knows. However, there will definitely be naval forces crossing the Bohai Sea and attacking the Khitan rear from the east."
This does not reveal the strategic objectives, it is obvious.
After the Central Plains Navy showed its power in the battle to recapture Yanyun, the Khitan began to guard against the Central Plains Navy.
With the precedent of Su Dingfang's 100,000-strong army crossing the sea to destroy Goguryeo, it was impossible for the Khitan not to be wary.
This time we took the opportunity to attack Korea, we also wanted to avoid this.
Compared with defending the border, it is easier to capture Goryeo and defend the landing ports.
Chen Chuyao knew a little about military affairs and had rich theoretical knowledge. He nodded to express his understanding.
Yi Shenzheng only understood a few words, but he also showed an understanding expression.
Zhang Jindao: "Our army is fighting across the sea.
The stability of Haidong is very important. The situation in Haidong is a bit unstable these days, and the Khitan even wants to destroy Goryeo. Your Majesty needs two people to serve in Goryeo and inquire about the situation in Haidong for the court. So that our court can understand the situation in Haidong anytime and anywhere.
According to the situation, at the critical moment, make appropriate actions.”
Yi Shenzheng said "Ah" and regretted agreeing too quickly.
It was already uncomfortable for him to be far away from Shu, but now he was going to Haidong?
Who will take care of his parents?
Chen Chuyao frowned.
Zhang Jin said: "Your Majesty said that this task will only last three years at most. After three years, no matter what the situation is, both of you will be credited with great achievements. If you can achieve miraculous results, it will not be a problem even if you are awarded a knighthood."
Yi Shenzheng was initially reluctant, but when he heard that it was only three years, he was instantly moved.
Chen Chuyao's eyes also lit up.
In three years, I was able to exchange for a great merit every time, so this deal was still a good deal.
Yi Shenzheng was moved and said: "But I know nothing about Goryeo. How can it be accomplished in three years?"
Zhang Jin glanced at Chen Chuyao and said: "We have already made arrangements for this. The King of Korea has always valued talents from the Central Plains. No matter what their talents are, they will provide them first and then take a closer look at their abilities. Of course, the key depends on Mr. Chen...
…Mr. Chen was sent to the Khitan as an envoy to Jiangnan, and he was highly regarded by the Khitan chief. They even stopped him from returning to Jiangnan even though he was detained. Finally, after the Khitan coup, Mr. Chen found the opportunity to go south. Now Jiangnan has been destroyed. Mr. Chen cannot be reused in the Central Plains.
, intending to return to Khitan to show his ambition."
"The north is blocked by the Central Plains. It is safest to take the sea route from Goryeo to Khitan to go to Beijing. Given Wang Zhao's thirst for talents and the current relationship between Khitan and Goryeo, he will definitely not let Mr. Chen go north, but will persuade him to stay
In Korea."
It was not without reason that Luo Youdu chose Chen Chuyao from among the many ministers in Jiangnan.
He has shown his talents in Khitan, and with this relationship, his identity was easily accepted and recognized by Wang Zhao.
As for Yi Shenzheng, he is a like-minded friend who has made an appointment to join the Khitan.
Chen Chuyao first glanced at Yi Shenzheng, hesitated for a moment, and said, "I dare to ask one more question, does your majesty have plans for Haidong?"
Zhang Jin paused and said: "Your Majesty, if there is an opportunity for the next generation of heroes, you should take it yourself. If the opportunity does not come, don't force it."
Chen Chuyao bowed and said: "I am willing to serve your Majesty."
Yi Shenzheng hesitated again and again, gritted his teeth, and mustered up the courage to say, "I am also willing to serve your Majesty."
Zhang Jin said enthusiastically: "Okay, both gentlemen are loyal and righteous people. I, Zhang Jin, have made friends with you. Wu Desi has arranged for people to enter Goryeo, and today I will arrange for someone to give you a way to contact them."
"
Chen Chuyao responded calmly.
Yi Shenzheng's face turned red.
Chen Chuyao followed Li Jingyi and surrendered, and there was nothing morally reprehensible.
However, Yi Shenzheng surrendered together with Li Hao because he was afraid of the power of the Central Plains, and he was among the first group of people to surrender to Luo Youdu.
The four words "loyalty and righteousness" are a bit harsh to him.
But he was thick-skinned and quickly became calm and composed.
After receiving Zhang Jin's report, Luo Youdu smiled and said "Thank you for your hard work" and pointed to the stool beside him to indicate to him to take a seat.
After Zhang Jin thanked him, he sat on the stool and said, "Your Majesty, I have something that I don't understand."
Luo Youdu said: "Speak!"
Zhang Jindao: "Mr. Chen is an ambitious and capable man. I can see that he even wants to win over Haidong for His Majesty. Mr. Keyi, this person has bad character and is timid and afraid of getting into trouble. He may not be trustworthy."
Luo Youdu nodded and said: "You are looking down on Yi Shenzheng. Chen Chuyao is a capable official, but he may not be able to stand out as an official. On the contrary, Yi Shenzheng, who knows how to figure out the thoughts of his superiors and adapt to the wind, is even more
It is easy to show off one's own strengths and win the favor and respect of others. The only thing Yi Shenzheng lacks is loyalty...but as long as his parents are still in the Central Plains, he will not be tempted by Goryeo to rebel."

It is true that Yi Shenzheng was selfish, but he was extremely filial.
His mother fell ill in her early years and was difficult to treat with medicine and stone, and was in danger of death. Later, he met a scholar who said that Yi Shenzheng's thigh meat should be used as a medicine to save his mother.
Yi Shenzheng didn't believe the alchemist's nonsense, but he still cut off his own flesh with a knife.
With nothing to do, Yi Shenzheng only sought that glimmer of hope.
As a result, his mother gradually recovered.
No one knows why, but it's definitely not the piece of meat.
As a result, Yi Shenzheng now walks with a slight limp.
Yi Shenzheng may have some shortcomings in virtue, but his filial piety is flawless.
This is also the reason why Luo Youdu felt comfortable using Yi Shen Zheng.
The most difficult thing for sending people to serve in another country thousands of miles away is to ensure that the other party is loyal and will not betray.
Using Chen Chuyao is based on his confidence and ambition. I believe that he will not give up the stage of the Central Plains for the sake of the interests of Goryeo.
When using Yi to judge Zheng, use his filial piety.
