From last winter to the present, sitting firmly in Jinyang, watching the development of the situation in the world for nearly half a year, as the situation becomes clearer, especially after Liu Chengyou and Shi Hongzhao have made achievements, Liu Zhiyuan finally can't sit still.

Yelude's return to the north is a foregone conclusion, on the surface, it should not be a conspiracy, as the "good news" continues to be carried out in various places, Liu Zhiyuan also let go of his heart.

Previously, the Khitan possessed the Central Plains and Hebei, and it was unstoppable, and it could be explained by prudence and prudence, but if the situation is still stubborn, then I am afraid it will be a big disappointment.

How can they all be a generation of heroes, when it is time to be decisive, Liu Zhiyuan will be as decisive as he is.

Liu Zhiyuan got the throne of the emperor, on the surface, it seemed as easy as picking it up, after becoming the emperor, he has been in Jinyang, and the real big move after the establishment of the new dynasty turned out to be Liu Chengyou's "Southern Expedition". In contrast, Liu Zhiyuan, the emperor, is much more "low-key".

However, one should never underestimate a founding monarch. From before and after becoming emperor, it can be seen that everything is under Liu Zhiyuan's control.

After becoming emperor, although he didn't do much on the surface, in fact, Liu Zhiyuan did a lot of things in an orderly manner. Collect people's hearts, settle the hearts of the army, adjust the Jinyang forbidden army, and completely control the army.

A major readjustment was made to the prefectures under the former Hedong Jiedu, including Qin, Liao, Shi, Fen, Lan, Xian, Xin, Dai, and even Fu, Lin, and other prefectures with a low degree of control.

At the same time, in the two months after becoming emperor, Liu Zhiyuan built the central system of the imperial court, and this process was not simply replaced by the promotion of the original Hedong ministers, and the completion of a few officials and a few positions, although Liu Zhiyuan basically did this.

Even so, the structure of the economy, the authority, the system, the rituals and other settings are extremely simple, and there are even many mistakes and omissions. But after all, the stage of "Hou Han" was set up by Liu Zhiyuan. Until not long ago, Liu Zhiyuan carried out a large-scale official reward, giving those long-awaited ministers from the dragon an explanation and soothing people's hearts.

Until Yelu Deguang went north to Anyang, Liu Zhiyuan arranged everything properly, with the emperor's brother Liu Chong staying in Beijing, and the prince Liu Chengxun as the Yin of Taiyuan Mansion, which was regarded as guarding the nest. Subsequently, the horses and armies in the east of the river were exhausted, and the mighty "South Luck" was carried out.

Liu Zhiyuan went south, almost a month earlier than the original history!

Different from Liu Chengyou and Shi Hongzhao's route to the south, Liu Zhiyuan's march route chose the western route, wanting to go to Jin and Jiang, Jingxi, Shaanxi and east into Heluo.

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 Zhang Yanhong's rectification was under control after staying.

As for Shaanzhou, this is the "land of righteousness". At the beginning, Liu Zhiyuan had not yet been called the emperor, and Zhao Hui, Hou Zhang, and Wang Yan had already raised troops to resist the war. Only the two states of Jiang and Xie have envoys sent by Yelu Deguang, so they have no intention of returning to their fate.

However, when Liu Zhiyuan's army drove south and Yaobing was under Zhengping City, the reaction of Jiangzhou's civil and military forces was very real.

"Your Majesty, Jiangzhou has fallen!" In addition to the royal car, the honor guard made Guo Yunming Liu Zhiyuan said.

"I saw it!" Liu Zhiyuan's expression was obviously very calm, and he looked like a matter of course.

Also, if Jiangzhou really insists on going his own way and chooses to resist, then Liu Zhiyuan will be surprised. You must know that since stepping into the territory of Jiangzhou, the counties and towns along the way have all surrendered.

After all, the state officials and generals appointed by Yelu Deguang were still mostly Han Chinese, and in the context of the Khitan forces retreating northward, there was no need to resist stubbornly in the face of tens of thousands of male soldiers in Hedong.

"Spread the word, the three armies camped on the spot, ordered Guo Wei to lead the troops into the city to investigate, and lead the ministers in the city to the imperial camp to see the driver!" Indifferently, Liu Zhiyuan commanded, in two months, the majesty has become more and more vigorous, and people dare not look sideways.

"Yes!"

The principal of Jiangzhou, in addition to Li Conglang, who was assassinated, also had two Khitan appointed partial colonels, Cheng Baqing and Cao Kefan, who behaved very deferentially in the face of Liu Zhiyuan's summons. Don't dare to have a trace of reservations, and do your best to be obedient.

Liu Zhiyuan asked them why they had not surrendered before, and had to surrender until the soldiers came to the city. The answers of the three were also very sincere, saying that they were afraid that they would be questioned because they were ordered by Hu Lu before, but the Son of Heaven came and did not dare not surrender.

It amused Liu Zhiyuan. In order to reassure Liu Zhiyuan, the three of them also asked for dismissal very interestingly.

In this regard, Liu Zhiyuan naturally pushed the boat down the river, left the three officials in the army to listen to them, and appointed others to take up positions in Jiangzhou. All the way through, it was all the back road, and Liu Zhiyuan had to be careful.

......

In the evening, in the camp tent that was set up, only a little rest, Liu Zhiyuan dealt with the important military and political affairs, the country was established, especially in the critical period of fighting the country, there were too many things for him to worry about, and he did not dare to have any slack, with his current age, it was extremely hard.

In the tent, the attendants have lit candles, so that Liu Zhiyuan will not be able to see things clearly. On the side seats on both sides, Su Fengji and Su Yuqi sat upright, each holding some pieces and reciting.

Ersu, who is still a close minister of the Son of Heaven, was awarded the title of Zhongshu Shilang and Tongping Zhangshi, probably because Su Fengji was more favored, and added a scholar of Jixian Palace. Traveling south with the car, he handled the general affairs in front of the emperor.

This time they went south, and Yang Wei and Wang Zhang were left in Jinyang, coordinating political affairs, dispatching food and equipment, and supporting the front line. This time, Liu Zhiyuan not only went out with elite soldiers, but also wanted to go all out to advance into the Central Plains and Hebei, and Dingding, so the responsibility of the rear is particularly important. And those who can make Liu Zhiyuan believe and have the ability to coordinate these complicated affairs without a shortage of military supplies are not the two fellows Yang Wei and Wang Zhang.

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

Su Fengji: "The right to check the affairs of the military state of Yanzhou, Gao Yunquan, the right to return to the table!" ”

Su Yuqi: "Gao Yanxun, the commander of Danzhou and the governor of the state, is a minister. ”

Su Fengji: "The Yong'an Army Festival has been folded from Ruan, and the Yong'an Army has been reorganized. ”

"Zhao Hui of Shaanzhou has led the army north to welcome the royal driver."

"The guards and infantry have all commanded Shi Hongzhao to besiege Cui Tingxun in Hanoi City, and it will be broken in a few days!"

"Heyang martial arts and virtues, falsely ordered Xijing to stay in Liu Xi to abandon Luocheng, Luojing inspection made Fang Tai know about the stay, Yingcheng disobeyed, and Nandu killed him. The Khitan pretended to order the Xuanwu army to make Xiao Han, and sent the general Gao Mouhan to send Liu Xi to return to Luo, outnumbered and surrendered to Mengzhou. ”
