Chapter 111: Heartbeat
Since waiting for the Xian Pavilion to come out, it was already dark, Liu Chengyou was half a position behind to show respect, and the brothers walked silently on the street and headed towards the state government. Liu Chengxun put his hands behind his back, frowned, his eyes were not glancing at Liu Chengyou, his face was hesitant and hesitant.
"Erlang, is this matter up for discussion?" After pondering for a long time, Liu Chengxun finally spoke.
Liu Chengyou took Liu Chengxun to see Zhao Yanshou, and naturally explained his ideas and plans, and hoped to get his support. But apparently, his big brother did not have confidence in his plan.
Liu Chengyou has talked to Liu Chengxun about the purpose of this plan and the thinking before and after, but seeing that he is still that hesitant, Liu Chengyou is not surprised, but said: "The land of Youyan, falling into the hands of the enemy, for my China, is a sword hanging above my head and can fall at any time." At the beginning of the country's establishment, Hebei must be established, but if you want to make the society peaceful and the northern Xinjiang long-term peace and stability, you must recapture Youyan and rebuild the northern defense line. Otherwise, they will be like Shi Jin and threatened by their incursions for a long time......"
Liu Chengyou has already talked to Liu Chengxun about this kind of statement, but the same statement, repeated again, has different feelings. Liu Chengxun's expression showed some worry again.
"This move is really beneficial to the Hebei Imperial Reserve?" After thinking about it, Liu Chengxun asked.
Liu Chengyou didn't know if his eldest brother really didn't understand, or pretended to be confused, looked at him, and said in a deep voice: "For the sake of the family and the country, for the sake of the people, if it is not forced by the national conditions, I will raise the army to the north, drive away Hu Lu, and restore Youyan." ”
Liu Chengyou's words are a bit of moral kidnapping. Obviously, it was really useful to Liu Chengxun, so he stopped and looked at Liu Chengyou, only to see that there was a rare flash of excitement and hope on the serious face of his Erlang.
took a deep breath and pointed to the Zhixian Pavilion not far away: "But, is Zhao Yanshou credible?" ”
Liu Chengyou shook his head, his eyes became deeper at this moment, and he said leisurely: "Zhao Yanshou, I'm afraid he wants to use our support to make a comeback." Perhaps, while agreeing to my proposal, this person is still secretly laughing in his heart, this kid is still planning to use him! ”
Listening to Liu Chengyou's self-deprecating tone, Liu Chengxun's eyebrows furrowed: "In this case, why choose Zhao Yanshou?" Even if you intend to use force in Youzhou, you can send a partial general to lead the army north, how can you give the soldiers and horses to Zhao Yanshou? ”
In the final analysis, Liu Chengxun still didn't believe Zhao Yanshou, but between the words, he had already been brought to his rhythm by Liu Chengyou.
"Nowadays, no one can replace Zhao Yanshou's position, except for him, no one can suppress those Yan soldiers. We can't support him with Jin soldiers, can we? Liu Chengyou said: "As for whether this person can be trusted, it still depends on the development of the situation and the strength." In the future, I dare not say, at least for now, that this person is credible, or that he can be used. ”
Hearing this, Liu Chengxun was silent, fell into deep thought again, and after a while: "This matter is important, it is not up to you and me to decide, or, report to my father and let him discuss with the princes of the court before making a decision?" ”
reported to the imperial court, and it was estimated that the daylilies were cold. Even, waiting for the imperial court to make a decision, it will be enough for a while, and the final result is likely to be less than Liu Chengyou's intentions.
While his mind was turning, Liu Chengyou said: "In the next short period of time, it may be the time when the Khitan has the lowest control over Youyan." Don't miss the time! ”
His brows tightened even deeper, and Liu Chengxun asked again: "Is there really a chance?" Can Zhao Yanshou really take Youzhou? ”
Liu Chengxun has a lot of questions, and it is precisely because there are too many that it shows that he is really thinking about this plan.
When the eldest brother first came, he obviously didn't understand the situation in Youyan, and since Liu Chengyou had the idea of asking him to endorse him, he naturally took the trouble to explain: "I have carefully discussed and deduced with Zhu Wenwu many times, and the conclusions I have come to are basically the same, there must be internal fighting in the Khitan. If not, let alone Zhao Yanshou, it will be difficult to win the favor of our army regardless of everything and going north with all its might. As for how Zhao Yanshou can finally go, I can't guarantee it! ”
Saying that, Liu Chengyou sighed: "It's up to people to plan things, and it's up to heaven to make things happen!" Let's try it, even if the result is bad, how bad can it be? However, as long as it is done, the recapture of the thistle in the future will greatly reduce the loss and resistance! ”
Liu Chengxun nodded subconsciously, his expression soothing: "Let me think about it again." ”
"This matter is still in a hurry, everything has to look at Youzhou, and see the movements of Yelu Ruan! Big brother, you can think about it again! Liu Chengyou said softly: "Inspecting around today, presumably the eldest brother is also working hard, let's go back and rest for a while......
It was not a long distance to return to the state, and the brothers walked for a long time. In front of the yamen, seeing the back of the eldest brother slowly climbing up the stairs, the corners of Liu Chengyou's mouth hooked slightly.
For the future, Liu Chengyou tried his best to promote Youyan's proposal. Although Liu Zhiyuan entrusted him with the power to control the Hebei armies, it was not easy to abuse it. Cooperating with Zhao Yanshou and returning Yan Bing to him, these things are really not something that Liu Chengyou can decide with one word. Even if he insists on going his own way, cutting first and then playing, there will be trouble, which is likely to make Liu Zhiyuan dissatisfied.
Wei Renpu reminded Liu Chengyou that such a major event must be explained to the Son of Heaven. Tao Gu also carefully persuaded him that if he made a taboo, he should not do it, and try not to do it.
Liu Chengyou is not a person who can't listen to persuasion, and has been thinking about how to solve this problem, and Liu Chengxun's arrival immediately made him think. If the two of them come together to promote this matter, then the trouble will be much smaller, even if there is any unexpected change, there is also him, the eldest brother, to share the pressure and bear the consequences.
This is also the reason why Liu Chengyou was so hospitably entertained and patiently explained. Hundreds of miles back and forth, personally received, even if it is a brother, there is no need to do this.
Looking at the current situation, although Liu Chengxun hesitated in his heart, between his words, Liu Chengyou could already feel that his brother was tempted.
In fact, in addition to Liu Chengyou's "border defense strategy" rhetoric, it also carries a bit of temptation. Youyan's proposal, if it can be done and has an effect, then it is definitely a great achievement.
Since the opening of the strategy of forging ahead into the Central Plains, Liu Chengyou has led his troops to the south and east, and has made a lot of contributions, especially the battle of Luancheng, which can be blown for a lifetime. And he, the eldest brother, has been staying in Jinyang before, although he has the merit of guarding the rear, how can he have the merits on the battlefield.
Liu Chengxun is a gentleman, which is good, but it doesn't mean that he has no desires. Especially, as Liu Zhiyuan's eldest son, the eldest prince of the new dynasty.
Now Liu Chengxun is already tempted.
