Lin Xi County, at the eastern foot of the Taihang Mountains, within the jurisdiction of Xiangzhou, the territory is mountainous and hilly, it is not a big county, but it is backed by Taihang, the geographical location is quite superior, and it is an important place to enter the east and reach the west.

It's not too far from Luzhou, and it's just separated by a Taihang Mountain...... Hundreds of miles of mountain roads and jungles, if there is no ancient road to follow, it may not be possible to walk out in ten days and half a month.

When Yelu Deguang was still crossing the river with difficulty in Baimajin, Liu Chengyou had already led the First Army along the Hulin Road, came over the mountains, and garrisoned Lin Jicheng, which was "warmly" welcomed by the local soldiers and civilians.

In the county seat of Lin Xi, the originally scattered Liao flags have been taken down by the county order, trampled and burned, in order to atone for the mistakes of the former "shun thief". It was replaced by several brand-new Jin flags and the eye-catching "Liu" flag.

Not long ago, Liu Zhiyuan carried out the first official title in Taiyuan, which was basically aimed at the army, and the middle and senior generals of the former Hedong armies were able to serve as assassins and defense envoys in other states, although the states were not yet under control, but this wave of results was still very uplifting for the civil and military forces in Hedong.

Among the emperor's heirs, in addition to the emperor's eldest son Liu Chengxun, only Liu Chengyou was worshiped as the general of the left guard and the commander of the Hebei camp.

The great cause of the "War of Resistance" in the Central Plains has entered a climax, and next, it is obviously Hebei's turn. Of course, Liu Zhiyuan did not have much expectations for this, and the task given to Liu Chengyou in the Ming Zhao and secret letter was very clear, only to delay and harass.

No one would think that Liu Chengyou could accomplish anything with the Longqi army, and with the few men and horses under him, if he collided with the Khitan army, it would not be enough for the enemy to plug his teeth.

Of course, it is Liu Chengyou himself, and he does not have too high expectations and goals for attacking Hebei. He doesn't think that he is the protagonist and can be invincible and invincible.

Liu Chengyou asked Liu Zhiyuan to lead the army east out of Taihang, the most real idea is just to completely extend the power tentacles of the new dynasty into Hebei, in order to prepare for the future cleaning up of the states, he clearly knows that Hebei does not need the Central Plains, the strength of the Khitans here is much stronger, even if Yelude leads the main force to withdraw, the remaining strength is still not to be underestimated.

In addition, the towns of various festivals and towns support troops to defend themselves. If we want to completely rejuvenate the Hebei prefectures and save millions of households, we still need to use force. If you don't plan early, you will definitely be in trouble in the future.

At the same time, Liu Chengyou also has the purpose of seeking another qualification and fame for himself, leading the party, as long as he has a little achievement, with the identity of the prince, it is enough for everyone to remember him.

However, even if the expectations are low enough, it does not prevent Liu Chengyou from having some bold ideas in his heart. Unbeknownst to others, he clearly remembered that Yelu Deguang, who was in the prime of life, suddenly died on the way back to China.

As long as the butterfly's wings didn't flash too much, and Yelu Deguang really died as written in the "script", then Liu Chengyou definitely had the courage to bite off a piece of fat on the Khitans.

Of course, if Yelu Deguang survives unexpectedly, in such a situation, Liu Chengyou can only honestly be a-stirring stick in Hebei, calling on the soldiers and civilians of Hebei to stand up, kill Hulu, and restore the country......

During the two days that he was stationed in Lin Wei, Liu Chengyou personally met with several waves of local county wang clans and some "rebels" who had come to join after hearing the news. It is said that it is a righteous army, but in fact it is just some bandits and grass bandits under the banner of fighting against the Khitan, but it is obvious that Hebei's "War of Resistance" is also in full swing, especially after the news that the Khitans are preparing to evacuate the Central Plains spread, the atmosphere of fighting against Hulu is already very good.

As the sun sets, the cool breeze blows, and the mountains and forests around the city are swaying and the trees are shaking. Standing on the head of Lin Shucheng, Liu Chengyou habitually looked in the southeast direction, and there was a little expectation hidden in his calm eyes.

"Your Highness, since you are already too good, why don't you directly enter Anyang and occupy Xiangzhou?" Beside him, seeing that Liu Chengyou was thinking again, Zhang Yanwei, who was a little bored standing on the side, couldn't help but take the initiative to speak.

"General Ma, you explain to Commander Zhang Du." Liu Chengyou didn't shake his head, and raised his hand to signal Ma Quanyi on the side.

Today's Zhang Yanwei has been promoted to one level and officially became the commander of the Longqi Army.

Ma Quanyi was a little surprised when he heard this order, but he quickly reacted, thought for a while, and arched his hand towards Liu Chengyou and Zhang Yanwei: "The last general only expresses his foolish opinions, and if there are any mistakes or omissions, I hope His Royal Highness and the general will forgive me." The Khitan army crossed the river from Baima, obviously to take the Liyang-Anyang withdrawal route, and if our army entered Anyang, it would not be a legitimate enemy route. ”

Speaking of this, even with Zhang Yanwei's not flexible brain, he nodded again and again, and said in his mouth: "Yes, yes." There are more than 100,000 Khitan troops, but our army still doesn't touch that mold. ”

"Our army has come here, what should we do if Jerod Light comes to attack us?" Suddenly, Zhang Yanwei asked again.

"If Yerod wants to evacuate, he will never make any extraneous branches!" Liu Chengyou spoke, his tone as flat as ever: "Even if he sends troops." There are few soldiers, and I rely on them; There are many troops, and we only need to defend the defense with our backs against the mountains, and if it is not good, we will withdraw from Xiangzhou. Time is good for us and against the enemy, and if it drags on for a long time, we will make Yelu Deguang feel more enthusiastic 'hospitality' than the Central Plains, and for many years, the military and civilians of Hebei have suffered much more from the Khitan......"

"Isn't this similar to dealing with Geng Chongmei before?" asked, Zhang Yanwei reacted much faster this time.

Raising an index finger, Liu Chengyou said lightly: "It's the same thing." That's it, the benefits of playing at home! ”

"Home?" Zhang Yanwei was a little puzzled, but seeing Liu Chengyou's calm expression, he didn't realize the Ming calendar, which seemed to be very reasonable.

"In fact, I really hope that when the time comes, then Yelu Deguang will be able to see our army as a threat and lead the army to attack ......" did not explain Zhang Yanwei's doubts, Liu Chengyou touched the female wall, felt the coldness of the earth and stones, and sighed faintly: "It's a pity, Lone and the soldiers, I'm afraid I can't get into his eyes." ”

The two eyeballs became especially bright at this moment, and they blinked several times in a row before they could hide the "divine light". Obviously, because of his sense of foresight, Liu Chengyou is deducing some possible plot development.

"Your Highness, General Shi has sent a message that he has led the army and entered the Shangdang!" While the three of them were chatting, Xiang Xun ran up the steps and said to Liu Chengyou.

After learning the news that Yelu Deguang had left to return to China, Liu Zhiyuan reacted quickly this time on the Jinyang side, and immediately ordered Shi Hongzhao to lead more than 10,000 soldiers and horses of Wujie to the south.

Liu Chengyou went east, and Shi Hongzhao's task was to go all the way to the south, as long as it was confirmed that the main Khitan army had crossed the river, then it would go all the way to the Central Plains and return the two capitals.

Liu Chengyou took the letter and quickly skimmed through it, and his expression quickly flashed with a little inexplicable brilliance. Just from the words, there shouldn't be anything to see, but Liu Chengyou can feel a little pride.

"It's here! This Shi Du commander, do you still want Gu to go back in person to meet him? The corners of his mouth curled up in a flat arc, and Liu Chengyou said.

As soon as these words fell, several people around them looked at each other. Liu Chengyou took a breath, waved his hand again, and said to Xiang: "Reply to me and greet the ...... commander of Shidu"

"Yes!"
