Fully prepared, orderly scheduling, the southern crossing was very smooth, there were no accidents, it took nearly two hours, more than 4,000 military horses all crossed the river.

Originally, Liu Chengyou's side, only the Third Army, the personal guard battalion and most of the horse army, were less than 3,000 troops. However, when he was in Xingzhou, he said that Xue Huairang's troops were annexed, and his strong ones were selected to fill the army, and the rest were dismissed, and on the way back, he received some scattered soldiers and strong men who defected, so that he could do this.

Liu Chengyou belonged to the later batches of river crossings, and with a full mental state, he set foot on the land of Henan for the first time. Behind him, there were also sergeants and civilians who placed war horses, ordnance, and financial weapons on the ferry.

On the ferry, there is a stone tablet erected, which is estimated to be a boundary monument, and there are some words on it, with "Baimajin" being the most conspicuous. White Horse is a place where anyone who has watched "Three Kingdoms" should have a little impression.

Not far from the ferry, it is a small town, and when he regrouped under his command, Liu Chengyou was invited to the town.

There is a white horse post in the town, the pomp in front of the post is very sufficient, and there are already generals from Huazhou lined up here to greet them, one by one with low eyebrows and pleasing eyes, and they are tightly restrained. Liu Chengyou was at the door of the pavilion, and when he saw this scene, his eyes were devoted to it.

I saw that there was also a movement in the meantime, and before anyone came out, the sound had arrived, accompanied by a slightly rampant laughter: "Erlang, you are finally back!" ”

Two figures appeared side by side at the door of the White Horse Station, two middle-aged people with dense beards, Liu Chengyou recognized them at a glance, it was his uncle Liu Xin. After entering Bian, Liu Xin commanded the envoys of the guards and horse troops, led the righteous army into the envoy, and was ordered to lead a Xingjie forbidden army to be stationed in Huazhou.

Obviously, I felt that when Liu Xin appeared, those slippery generals were subconsciously a little shorter. It can be seen that his uncle is very powerful, and these people are very afraid of him. In this regard, Liu Chengyou is not surprised, when he was still in Jinyang, his uncle became famous for his murder, good at killing, torture, and cruel sinners for fun. Come to think of it, it was Liu Xin who had some murderous actions in Huazhou.

Looking at Liu Xin, Liu Chengyou arched his hand reservedly: "How can Uncle Lao greet him." ”

"It hasn't changed at all!" Seeing Liu Chengyou's reaction, Liu Xin didn't care, and patted him on the shoulder closely: "It's all a family, so it's a matter of seeing the outside." ”

The eyebrows raised, Liu Xin's enthusiasm made Liu Chengyou a little uncomfortable, you must know that at the beginning, although their uncle and nephew had a relationship, they didn't have much affection. However, he still agreed: "What my uncle said is true." ”

After a brief observation of Liu Xin, compared to when he was in Jinyang, there were only four words between Liu Xin's eyebrows at this time: spring breeze is proud. A little joy, a little pride. He wore a brocade robe, made of fine satin, trimmed with gold thread, with a belt inlaid with jade, and a crown on his head inlaid with pearls, green, shining green in the sun.

With this outfit, obviously, during this time, Liu Xin has not been robbed.

"I heard that you are coming south, and the official family has ordered me to pay attention to the news and welcome you." Liu Xin said with a smile.

"Then thank you for your concern." Liu Chengyou raised his hand in the southwest direction and made a salute.

Yu Guang glanced at the middle-aged strong man beside Liu Xin, his face was extremely dark, and his face was dotted with a dense pockmark, which people couldn't forget at a glance. Noticing Liu Chengyou's eyes, the big man laughed loudly: "What's the matter, have you forgotten your Uncle Yanchao?" ”

frowned slightly, Liu Chengyou really didn't have any impression, and when Liu Xin introduced Fang Zhi, the middle-aged man in front of him was Liu Zhiyuan's half-brother, Murong Yanchao.

"Uncle." No matter what, it's an elder after all, Liu Chengyou bowed down in a proper manner.

At the beginning, Murong Yanchao was from Fangzhou Beitou, and after entering Bian, just when he was employing people, the dynasty was first built, and his family could use it at ease, so Liu Zhiyuan appointed Murong Yanchao as the envoy of the Zhenning Army Festival, and led the troops to garrison the critical place of Lanzhou.

As for Lanzhou, it is a neighbor of Huazhou, and the state of Puyang and Baima is only eighty or ninety miles. This time I came to Liu Xin as a guest, which coincided with Liu Chengyou's coming to the south.

Knowing these things, Liu Chengyou casually observed Murong Yanchao, and paid special attention to the black hemp face. Liu Zhiyuan's black face appeared in his mind, and it can be believed that it should be from a mother. From this, I thought that I, my eldest brother Liu Chengxun and my third brother Liu Chengxun all looked quite white, and I had to thank my mother Li's genes, otherwise, I am afraid that it would not be a black family.

During the greetings, Liu Chengyou was invited by Liu Xin to enter the White Horse Station. Liu Xin flaunted the insight he had prepared in advance: "I have prepared a banquet to wash the dust for you." Here, I specially picked the place, this white horse post, there is a little bit of saying. More than 40 years ago, it was here that Liang Taizu killed all the old ministers of Li Tang, removed obstacles, and was able to successfully build Liang on behalf of Tang ......"

Speaking of that killing, Liu Xin was still a little excited, and he was ashamed: "Today, our uncle and nephew will drink here, and it is appropriate to congratulate me on the founding of the Han Dynasty." ”

Hearing Liu Xin look at the "Disaster of the White Horse Station" like this, and blindly talking about the establishment of the Han Dynasty, the corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth couldn't help twitching.

Seeing his smug appearance, Liu Chengyou lightly complimented: "Uncle is really knowledgeable." ”

Liu Xin is even more happy: "Although I am a martial artist and don't know how to write and ink, I have been with the official family for so long, and I have always ...... some growth."

From the heart, Liu Chengyou doesn't think much of these two uncles, and can even be directly described as contempt. Liu Zhiyuan entrusted the two to guard the throat, but behaved so carelessly.

Needless to say, Liu Xin has always been like this. This Murong Yanchao is also, when he was in charge of Lanzhou, he actually left his post without permission, just to come to Baima to drink as a guest. What kind of place is that, the throat of the north bank of the river, and it is an important place for river defense. Liu Zhiyuan arranged for him there, obviously to beware of Du Chongwei in Yedu.

If Du Chongwei rebelled and raised troops to the south, Lanzhou was the first line of defense to resist it.

Thinking of this, Liu Chengyou's expression became more and more peaceful, but his eyes gradually became cold.

He can probably understand Liu Zhiyuan's mentality, after all, he is his own family, and he is more trustworthy, and he has to rely on these people to defend the country. However, there are countless examples there, and when things are urgent, it is often these "own family members" who are bad. Don't say it's far away, just say it's close at hand, for example, Du Chongwei!

When you arrive in Tokyo, should you give advice to your father? Liu Xin was still "buzzing" in his ears, and Liu Chengyou already had such thoughts in his mind.

Thinking a little farther away, the Liu family, these royal family members, don't seem to have a few successful talents, but they can support big things.

Liu Zhiyuan's three brothers, Liu Xin and Murong Yanchao's performance is here, as for Liu Chong, isn't there Liu Zhiyuan, the eldest brother, who can get mixed up until now?

On the Li family's side, there are several uncles of Liu Chengyou, but one is more mixed than the other, and the second uncle Li Hongwei is a little more brilliant, but he is too cowardly, procrastinating, and not decisive enough.

As far as Liu Chengyou knows, among all the relatives, his brother-in-law Song Yanwu is a virtuous person, but unfortunately the friendship is not deep. and his cousin Li Shaoyou.

Liu Xin and Murong Yanchao naturally didn't know how the nephew in front of them, who was dealing with them, despised them in their hearts, and they were all full of interest and talked about it.

On the main hall of the post house, there is already a table of wine and food, the aroma goes straight to the taste buds, the dishes do not look exquisite, but they are rich, all kinds of meat are available, the table is full of tables, and they are used very luxuriously.

With him seated, Liu Xin clapped his hands, and several beautiful figures gracefully stepped up to the hall, barefoot, thinly dressed, and the magic weapon loomed, accompanied by the music that sounded behind the curtain, dancing.

Liu Chengyou sighed silently in his heart, did he enjoy it? What kind of scene is it in the city of Tokyo, Liu Chengyou is not optimistic at this time.

Wine and wealth, few men can be exempt from vulgarity, especially the martial artists of this era. Murong Yanchao's eyes were immediately attracted, his wide eyes almost sucked the dancing beauties into his eyes, and he looked covetous: "Brother Xin, I've been here for two days in Baima, such a beauty, you hide so deeply." ”

"Hey, hey." Liu Xin was a little proud: "This is the advocate that I took a lot of effort to collect after I arrived in Baima, and I am good at singing and dancing." If you want, I'll give you two? ”

Murong Yanchao was not polite, and smiled directly: "Then I will thank you in advance." ”

In front of Liu Chengyou, the two of them did not shy away at all, or they didn't care at all. Liu Chengyou only looked around a little, then withdrew his gaze, seeing his reaction, Liu Xin was slightly surprised, and then said a little angrily: "Erlang, you can like these beauties, you can choose one or two, just as I will give you a gift." ”

This Liu Xin is really mixed, and he directly wants to send Liu Chengyou a woman.

"No, the little nephew is not here, besides, how dare he take the love of the elders?" Liu Chengyou said.

"How can you be so boring at such a young age?" Liu Xin waved his hand and said with a big grin: "Isn't there a concubine in your house, it stands to reason that you have also experienced the wonders of it, one, how is it enough?" The leader has been out for so long, and he has been holding back for a long time, and he should be looking for this delicate person to relieve the lack of conquest......"

Liu Xin said meaty words, and Murong Yanchao also spoke, and said in a tone of a person who came over: "This woman is wonderful, and she is endlessly happy, Erlang, don't dismiss your uncle's kindness." ”

After that, Liu Xin directly ordered him to stop singing and dancing, and let several maiko come close and let Liu Chengyou pick up.

It was difficult to resist the enthusiasm, Liu Chengyou once again paid attention to those dancing girls, they are not very old, their posture is good, and their figure is good, but they are just good.

Compared with Liu Chengyou's bland reaction, several dancing girls were a little excited, their eyes were eager, and they hoped very much that Liu Chengyou could pick themselves. The conversation between the three of them was unrestrained, and of course they were listening to it.

Compared with serving tyrannical martial artists like Liu Xin or being given to a black man like Murong Yanchao, it is naturally much more pleasing to the eye of a handsome man like Liu Chengyou, young and heroic, and his identity is noble......

It's a pity that Liu Chengyou still disappointed them, as if ignoring the pink skeleton, he picked up a glass of wine on the table and faced Liu Xin: "Uncle's heart, the little nephew's heart has it, but he has come all the way south, he is physically and mentally exhausted, and the public opinion in Tokyo, hey...... I would like to use this cup to confess my sins. ”

After saying that, he drank it all. Liu Chengyou showed an unspeakable look, and the "smart" Liu Xin immediately reacted, pointed to the south and said: "Are you afraid of public opinion in the court?" There is no need to be like this, just a villain who is jealous and jealous, you are famous this time, so that those who claim to be heroes of their lives can't sit still! ”

Under Liu Zhiyuan, there were many factions, power struggles, and the courtiers had their own ideas. It was not obvious before, but after entering Kaifeng and the overall situation was decided, it could not be calmed down, and there were many things to compete for merit and invite favors. A clan like Liu Xin is also a faction, but he thinks very highly of himself, relying on Liu Zhiyuan's favor, and has always looked down on those courtiers and foreign generals.

"Uncle is serious."

"You don't have to worry too much." Liu Xin said with a grin: "Didn't you just send some soldiers and horses to Zhao Yanshou to fight the Khitan, it's not a big deal, Da Lang also explained it to the eldest brother." You are the son of the eldest brother, and how can those outsiders be alienated. Besides, without you, you can capture those Yan soldiers. ”

Liu Xin looked at the problem, and it was obviously very simple. Is the question really just that Liu Chengyou is arrogant and arrogant?

For the founding king, having a son who is too powerful is not a good thing, especially now in this newly established dynasty. Looking back a little, you can find that Liu Zhiyuan's founding of the country was basically to pick up cheap, gather troops in Hedong to watch, and then march into the Central Plains, and take over the country.

From start to finish, I didn't experience any tough battles. Originally, Liu Chengyou fought Geng Chongmei for a battle, and then counted Shi Hongzhao to fight Hanoi, and Guo Congyi went to the Central Plains and entered Kaifeng. If this is the case, although the country does not have much convincing and deterrent power, it is basically carried out under the control of Emperor Liu Zhiyuan, and everything is under his control.

However, in Luancheng, Liu Chengyou suddenly struck such a blow to the Khitan army, with 8,000 soldiers against hundreds of thousands, and was defeated, but he was still the main Khitan force. It can be described as a shock, the establishment of the new Han Dynasty, naturally has a huge positive effect, deterring the world, seeing the return of the state and town, the local festivals have basically put away the overflow of careful thoughts, dare not have any changes.

In this way, the problem is, in the battle of Luancheng, how to look at it, the most dazzling is only Liu Chengyou, the prince. No matter how foolish people are, they will not think that the battle of Luancheng was carried out by Liu Chengyou under the will of Emperor Liu Zhiyuan.

For Liu Zhiyuan, this situation is that the more he thinks about it, the more wrong it becomes, the more he thinks about it, the more he tastes it, and the more complicated he thinks. Which of the founding kings can really be generous and can see it. Liu Zhiyuan is not a good person, but his bearing is also extraordinary, and it is Liu Chengyou or his son, so the development of the story will not be too tense......

Liu Chengyou didn't expect these things, but under the reminder of the knock on the side of Tao Gu, Liu Chengyou came back to his senses. Tao Gu, who is engaged in politics, is definitely a talent. As a result, Liu Chengyou also has a clearer understanding of those public opinions in the DPRK and China.

Liu Chengyou knew this, but he didn't mean to explain it to Liu Xin, just simply coped with it.

"Don't mention this, it's good to come back, those people don't dare to be arrogant." Liu Xin picked up the wine glass and poured it into his mouth: "Come, our brothers, let's toast Erlang together." ”

"Don't dare." Liu Chengyou took the cup in response.

Although he doesn't like Liu Xin's extravagance and extravagance in his heart, Liu Chengyou is very honest and has good food and drink, so there is no need to pretend to be reserved and suffer himself like he does on weekdays.

Moreover, they have already rejected their uncle's kindness once, so if they want to refuse the second time, it will really not give their uncle face.

When drinking wine and gnawing on big bones, Liu Chengyou thought like this: give Liu Xin face.
