"How can the Khitan lord dare to occupy the throne, and I really have no one in the Central Plains?" Liu Zhiyuan's words fell, and the hall was silent for a while, and Liu Xin, commanded by the Xingjie Army, took the lead in speaking, expressing some indignation, and turning to a topic that has been considered a cliché recently: "Brother, the Jin family is dead, and the people have no support, please quickly add the honorific number, order the Quartet, and insult the enemy to the north!" ”

Liu Xin is Liu Zhiyuan's younger brother, who is fierce and has no talent, and only relies on the identity of the Liu clan to occupy a high position in Hedong. It seems that these opinions may be his thoughts, but the wording is to ask Makusa to give him a draft in advance before he comes. Recently, among the civil and military forces in Hedong who actively persuaded Liu Zhiyuan to advance, he was among them.

After all, it is the Liu family, even if they don't have far-reaching and thorough insights, they can still feel that rare opportunity. The example of a man who attained the Tao and ascended to heaven is all too common in this day and age.

Looking at Liu Xin, Liu Zhiyuan didn't say a word, as if waiting for his next step. It's a pity that Liu Xin has no goods in his stomach, and he looked at Liu Zhiyuan in a daze, and said nothing more.

Liu Chong answered, bowed his hand to Liu Zhiyuan, and persuaded in an affirmative tone: "Brother, I believe that my brother's words are reasonable, today, except for you, there are no heroes who can turn the tide and recreate the world." Compared with Liu Xin, Liu Chong looked calmer, but the hope in those eyes could not be concealed at all.

It's a pity that I also failed to get positive feedback from Liu Zhiyuan. With a daunting expression on his serious face, Liu Zhiyuan turned his attention to the others, wanting to take advice.

Seeing this, Yang Wei opened his mouth and said slowly: "King, the Khitan Lord has the heart to sweep the world and annex the Eight Desolations. Although the king twice sent envoys to lose sincerity, he sent elite soldiers to guard the pass, which was not only a precautionary move, but also a sense of fear, with the cunning of the Khitan lord, how could he not notice. The king is the father of Jin, highly respected, and has the land of the king's industry, with the current situation, if you don't advance, you will retreat, please break it quickly! ”

Yang Wei's attitude is also very clear, persuasive!

Under Liu Zhiyuan, Yang Wei gradually had the meaning of the head of the overlord's mansion, and his statement completely detonated the resonance of Zhu Wenwu. Soon, everyone present, speaking one after another, more or less showed a positive attitude.

Only Chang Si, the commander of the prison city, tried to remind him: "The Khitan drinks the horse river, and there are hundreds of thousands of tigers and wolves, rampaging through the Central Plains, and with the power of the east of the river, it may be difficult to defeat it." Or...... Or wait and see? ”

Chang Si is not young, with old hair, but his spirit is very strong. This person started as a soldier, but he didn't have many military exploits, his ability was mediocre, and he was able to occupy the position of general, but he was lucky to be favored by Liu Zhiyuan. However, this person has a close friendship with Guo Wei, when Guo Wei was in his last days, he often fed his family and treated him as his father and uncle, even now, he still calls him Uncle Chang in private.

probably also realized that his tone was too weak, and in front of everyone's eyes, Chang Si smiled, and hurriedly changed his tone and swore an oath: "It's not that the last general is cowardly, but the long Khitan is majestic." The king has an order, and although the last general is old, he dares to raise his sword and get on the horse to charge for the king! ”

Hearing his loyalty, Liu Zhiyuan reacted a little, raised his hand to stop the veteran with an agitated expression, and said indifferently: "You are saying this is an old man's words." The Khitan army is strong, this is an indisputable fact, it is lonely, thinking of the iron horse Jingo that is enough to level the country, it is inevitable to be jealous! ”

Liu Zhiyuan's words were full of fear of the Khitan, but looking at his expression, it was just jealousy. In this era, as a qualified hero, when his ambition is aroused, not to mention the hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, even if he doubles, it is impossible to surrender without a fight.

At this time, Shi Hongzhao rose up, his expression was agitated, and he said loudly: "Although the Khitan has many soldiers, I am not afraid!" I don't believe it, 300,000 Khitans are all strong soldiers. The king stands majestically in the east of the river, the soldiers are strong and the horses are strong, and there are tens of thousands of horizontal swordsmen to rely on, why are you afraid of the Khitan? ”

Shi Hongzhao's passionate words and generous words were still very uplifting, and Liu Zhiyuan couldn't help but show appreciation in his eyes when he looked at him. Although this person is irritable, vulgar, stubborn, and arrogant, his courage is real, and the loyalty that is often shown on his face is very close to Liu Zhiyuan.

However, there are always people who don't buy his account, and a slightly gloomy voice sounded from the side: "Horizontal sharpening the sword? General Shi was arrogant and soared into the sky. Hehe, it looks like you're going to learn that Jing Yanguang! ”

The voice was made by Wang Zhang, the official of Confucius in the two envoys, who was a cadre under Liu Zhiyuan, who was in charge of government affairs with Yang Wei, and was in charge of money and food.

Jing Yanguang is the "big man" of the Later Jin Dynasty, and he was also born in the army, known for his archery skills and strength, and was famous for his archery skills and strength. In the process of Shi Jingjiao bringing the Khitan as aid, seizing the Central Plains in the south, and establishing the Jin Dynasty on behalf of the Tang Dynasty, he made great contributions.

After Shi Jingjiao was in internal and external difficulties and died of grief, he was relied on as a minister and became a powerful minister for a while. At that time, the young emperor Shi Chonggui succeeded to the throne, and Jing Yanguang, who was in power, carried out an "anti-Khitan" movement from top to bottom.

In this process, the stalk of "horizontal sharpening of the sword" was born. At that time, Jing Yanguang made a tough response to Qiao Rong, the Khitan envoy who came to the south to hold him accountable, and there was a sentence that said: The Jin Dynasty has 100,000 horizontal sharpening swords, and Weng will come early if he wants to fight. This is said to be impassioned and proud.

But after being invaded by the Khitan south, Jing Yanguang immediately ate back what he said. The Khitan destroyed the Jin, and there were three large-scale southern attacks, the first two of which were blocked by the Jin State, and there were many victories. The soldiers of the Jin State were not afraid of Beidi and fought to the death, but Jing Yanguang led the troops and feared the battle, and was cowardly to the enemy, and behaved very poorly. And last year, the Khitan went south again, and Yelude entered the Bian, unable to bear the responsibility of "instigating a national war", and committed suicide in fear of punishment.

Wang Zhang compared Shi Hongzhao to Jing Yanguang, which obviously would not be a good thing.

Although Shi Hongzhao is a standard martial artist created in batches in this era, he is vulgar and irritable, good at martial arts and disgusted with literature, and has a very short temper. Although he is not familiar with the stalk of "horizontal sharpening the sword", he is even a little dazed.

But the sneers in Wang Zhang's tone were really felt, and his irritable temperament suddenly exploded, his face was red and his neck was thick, he looked at it angrily, and said sharply: "So what? How are you staying? ”

"In front of the king, how can the lower officials be? How dare you? Compared with Shi Hongzhao's fierce color, Wang Zhang looked very personable, and calmly said with his fierce gaze: "The lower official has no other intentions, but just wants to remind the general that arrogant soldiers are easy to lose, not to mention, in front of the Khitan army, we don't have the capital to be arrogant." Military battles are a matter of life and death, so you can't be careless! ”

Wang Zhang's words seemed to remind Shi Hongzhao, and he subconsciously glanced at Liu Zhiyuan, but seeing that his serious expression was a little more condensed, his heart jumped, and he hurriedly asked for guilt: "The last general is out of shape, please punish the king!" ”

has been watching this good show, Liu Chengyou's Gujing Wubo's eyes can't help but show a trace of playfulness and sorrow. Under Liu Zhiyuan's account, it is not a monolith, and it is not once or twice that they attack each other and dismantle the stage. That is, under the suppression of Liu Zhiyuan, he can still maintain the harmony of the generals and help each other in the same boat.

Liu Zhiyuan's mind was obviously not on the dispute under his subordinates, he waved his hand, groaned slightly, and looked at Wang Zhang: "The affairs of Hedong Qiangu are all entrusted to the king, and the general affairs are supported, and the military resources are spent, and the envoy is lonely." Not...... If you use soldiers, can you use the warehouse? ”

In the face of Liu Zhiyuan's inquiry, Wang Zhang did not hesitate, straightened up, and replied solemnly: "After several years of operation, although there is little surplus, Hedong is still empty. However, today's turbulence, if the king wants to wave his troops southward, the lower officials will work hard, and they will also raise 50,000 horse infantry troops for the king, half a year old! ”

Liu Zhiyuan was obviously very satisfied with Wang Zhang's assurance, and he couldn't help but raise his slightly stern eyebrows.

Raising his eyes and slowly scanning the circle of the subordinates in the hall, after seeing that no one expressed his opinion, Liu Zhiyuan sighed and said: "Rong Di is wantonly plundering, Shenzhou is up and down, and he is alone in the east of the river, just to protect the people under his rule from the scourge of war and enjoy peace, it is enough, how can there be any more hopes." Don't say anything about the army! ”

"It's all gone!" After another pause, Liu Zhiyuan got up, his expression was calm, and he walked away.

Liu Zhi walked away, and all the civil and military forces present looked at each other a few times, somewhat helpless. Liu Chengyou quietly paid attention to the reaction of his eldest brother Liu Chengxun, and saw that Junlang's face was full of contemplation, and he seemed "worried".

From the beginning to the end of the court discussion, Liu Chengyou didn't say a word, just listened silently. Everyone dispersed, and Liu Chengyou also got up, took a calm step, and caught up with another person who also did not say a word.

"General Guo!"

The slightly dry and cold call sounded in his ears, Guo Wei stopped, turned around, looked at Liu Chengyou with some surprise, and respectfully clenched his fists: "What is the matter with the servant shooting the last general?" ”

Liu Chengyou tightened his sleeves with his hands, put his back behind his back, and looked at Guo Wei nearby. Cautious and polite, with a cautious look, Liu Chengyou sighed secretly in his heart, Guo Wei at this time is a cultured martial artist, self-contained, without the slightest arrogance, it is really difficult to make ordinary people feel bad.

"In the hall, all the princes are enthusiastic to speak, and the only general has a calm expression and does not say a word, but why?" Liu Chengyou looked at Guo Wei calmly and asked. The tone is flat, even a little boring.

Guo Wei also looked at Liu Chengyou, the "extraordinary" of the second son of the king of Beiping, of course he also knew, but when he heard his question, he couldn't help but wonder. Under the forced gaze of this young man, a sense of awkwardness suddenly awkwarded in his heart, but he replied calmly: "The last general is soft-spoken, shallow in knowledge, and it is inconvenient to discuss. ”

Looking at Guo Wei's modest appearance, Liu Chengyou's face did not change, but his voice was slightly raised: "Why should the general be arrogant." I have often heard adults say that the general is witty and intelligent, and he is always sincere and sincere in what he says. Now that the situation is turbulent, Hedong has never been able to rely on, and he asked the general to give advice. ”

Listening to his words, looking at Liu Chengyou's numb expression, Guo Wei's eyelids drooped slightly, and he thought for a while, before he talked eloquently: "The future of Hedong, no matter how much I say, it will all be in the thought of the king of Beiping." With the wisdom and wisdom of the king, and the resoluteness and resoluteness, I am afraid that I have a plan in my heart. The last general waits, just wait for the opportunity, wait for the king's horse, raise the sword and go......"

After Guo Wei finished speaking, he observed Liu Chengyou's reaction, which was still the uncomfortable autistic look. With a brain teaser, Liu Chengyou asked in a strong tone: "Where is the timing?" ”

"Perhaps, when Wang Xiufeng and Bai Gong return to Jinyang, the situation will be clear." After thinking about it, Guo Wei said.

"Taught!" replied calmly, no more, and if the meaningful gaze moved away from Guo Wei, Liu Chengyou arched his hand and walked slowly towards the inner courtyard of the palace.

Looking at Liu Chengyou's back, Guo Wei's calm heart couldn't help but ripple a little, his brows were slightly locked, and Liu Chengyou's gaze made him feel a little palpitation. The second son of the king of Beiping seems to be very concerned about himself, why is this? I couldn't help but feel a little suspicious.

Taking a deep breath and shaking his head lightly, Guo Wei walked towards the outside of the palace in a low-key manner, muttering in his mouth: "This Beiping Wangfu Erlang, but the city is getting deeper and deeper......"

Liu Chengyou was looking for Guo Wei, so naturally he only made a temptation. Facts have proved that this person still has some skills in judging the situation and sizing up the situation, and he has a very accurate view of the situation at this time. Liu Chengyou also agreed with him in his heart, the movement of Hedong's side, it really had to wait for the two to return north, and Liu Zhiyuan made up his mind.

Guo Wei refers to Wang Xiufeng and Bai Gong, referring to Wang Jun and Bai Wenke. Wang Jun is a native of Xiangzhou, the word Xiufeng, when he was young, he traveled to many places and changed hands several times, until he took refuge in Liu Zhiyuan, and he settled down. Although his rank and status are not high, he is quite capable and effective, and he is highly appreciated by Liu Zhiyuan.

Previously, Liu Zhiyuan ordered to send an envoy to Bianliang, presented to the Khitan, offered congratulatory gifts, showed loyalty, and explained to Yelu Deguang the reason why he did not dare to leave the town to go to Beijing in person to pay a visit, and test his attitude. Of course, more important is the "espionage" mission. Yelu Deguang entered Bianliang, and the people of Henan in the Central Plains were deeply poisoned, and such news came one after another, but how it was, it still needed a special person to "investigate" on the spot.

As for Bai Wenke, he is a native of Jinyang, who is over the age of old, and the deputy of the official residence in Beijing is left behind, and he is also ordered to make Bian, which is almost the same as Wang Jun's task.

The distance between Jinyang and Bianjing is not far in fact, ignoring the mountains and rivers, the straight-line distance is only seven or eight hundred miles. Bai Wenke came out later, needless to say, Wang Jun has been in Bianbian for nearly half a month, and after a long delay, it is expected that he should also return to Jinyang.

The thoughts in his head were endless, the thoughts continued, and while walking, Liu Chengyou's face became even more indifferent. In front of his mother, Li's court, Fang stretched out his hand and rubbed his face, trying to soften his facial muscles, and asked for peace when he entered......
