Turning his gaze to the north, Liu Chengyou's side has already advanced and occupied this important northern town. Since Youyan was handed over to the Khitan by Shi Jingjiao, Zhenzhou has become the most important military location in Jizhong to resist the northern insult, if Zhenzhou is lost, then the Khitan people can go south without scruples, and drive straight in.

When Liu Chengyou entered the real decision, he was warmly embraced by the soldiers and civilians of the city, although the scene was warm, but there was no pot pulp, but a face waiting to be fed. The first thing he did when he entered the real determination was to set up a porridge shed and give relief to the hungry people to calm people's hearts.

After the Khitans ravaged it, what was left for Liu Chengyou was really a mess full of holes. As for Zhenzhou, it can only be described as public and private exhaustion, and there is no grain left behind. Therefore, Liu Chengyou behaved a little picky, only using clear soup with little water, slightly warming his abdomen, and did not dare to open the supply at all.

And not yet unpaid, rationed according to work. Liu Chengyou used the original Cizhou assassin Shi Li Yu to sentence the affairs of the town and state government, and asked him to organize the people to go into the mountains and rivers, pick fruits and vegetables, and touch fish and catch shrimp.

In fact, the amount of grain in Liu Chengyou's army was not small, and a large number of them were captured in Luancheng, but no matter how large the amount was, he didn't dare to let it go, but he had to worry about it. After all, you still have to raise an army, and you have to deal with the war that may happen soon, or some kind of accident.

At one time, because of the pressure of food, Liu Chengyou actually regretted a little that he set fire to Luancheng too happily, after all, the fire burned too many supplies. Of course, he just muttered in his heart, and if he came ten more times, he would still choose to burn the big fire.

Fortunately, although a lot of farmland was destroyed due to the war, there was still some leftover. And probably because they were busy retreating north and didn't think about "food", or when the Khitans retreated, they didn't burn the acres of land in various places in a frenzy. Of course, if he really dares to do that, then Hermes-Epitek will have to fight it thoroughly.

It has entered May, the weather is getting hotter and hotter, and after another month of boiling, the wheat in the field is almost ripe, and the pressure on the grain can be greatly relieved when the summer grain is harvested and put into storage. During this time, Liu Chengyou really understood the truth that "grain is hard currency", although gold and silver treasures are good things, but in this period of extreme shortage of survival materials, Ye can only look at it and satisfy his spiritual needs.

In Zhenzhou, the military and politics are shoulder-to-shoulder, Liu Chengyou is very busy, and the political affairs are redundant, and there are thousands of problems, which consumes a lot of his energy. Just like Liu Chengyou is not good at commanding battles, he is only a mouthpiece in the management of politics and the people, with little experience, and he is still blind when it comes to specific administrative affairs.

Fortunately, Liu Chengyou is good at governing people. Those around him were assisted by good ministers, which saved him a lot of trouble.

However, when there is trouble, he can't let it go in order to escape the trouble, especially in the weak part of his ability, he needs to see, listen and learn more. Fortunately, the pleasure of being in power made Liu Chengyou addicted to it and couldn't extricate himself.

In the second hall of the state government, taking some leisure, Liu Chengyou chatted with a veteran, and the scene was a little embarrassing. The veteran general's name is He Fujin, who is a famous Tang Jin, the general of Rong Ma Xuan, when he was reorganized and absorbed, the middle and lower-level officers had arrangements, only these senior generals, except for a meritorious Li Yun, the rest of them were not dealt with.

After digesting it almost completely, Liu Chengyou remembered these idle generals.

He Fujin was recommended by Feng Dao's old fox to Liu Chengyou, and there was only one comment, Shuai Zhiying.

In fact, there is not much to talk about, digging out the heart and lungs, and talking for a long time, that is unwilling, and Liu Chengyou is not a person who can talk to just someone.

Probably felt that the atmosphere was too embarrassing, Wei Renpu, who was waiting on the side, couldn't help but open his mouth to warm up: "I heard that in the next day, the change of Xingjiaomen, the servant Guo Congqian besieged Zhuangzong in Da Nei with a rebel army, and the generals of the close ministers all abandoned their armor and left, only more than ten generals and colleagues fought desperately to protect them, and Zhuang Zong died in the middle of the arrow, and Fang mourned and left. This kind of loyalty is truly admirable......"

Hearing this, He Fujin, who has always been neither humble nor arrogant, and his expression was peaceful, finally had a little emotion on his face, as if he remembered the chaos back then, and his tone couldn't help but be melancholy: "In a blink of an eye, twenty years have passed." ”

said, looked at Liu Chengyou, but said a flattering word: "Your Highness is determined to fight the thief, Luancheng shocked the world in a battle, Hu Lu was silent, the traitor looked sideways, and the posture of the sky was no less than that of Zhuang Zong back then." ”

The corners of his mouth pulled slightly, and Liu Chengyou said casually: "Lonely, don't you dare to be similar to Zhuang Zong." ”

Liu Chengyou was not a person who was good at pulling things around, so he chatted a few words and said directly to He Fujin: "The Liao lord collapsed, the Liao army retreated north, and the Hu Lu in my country were all shocked and killed. However, after careful investigation, King Yongkang of Liao gathered Hu soldiers in Youzhou, and his movements were unknown. Afraid of its return, he wants to use the general as the Marquis of Yu and the defense envoy of Yingzhou for the Hebei camp and the horse infantry army, and go to Yingzhou to recruit troops for the Khitan! ”

Hearing this, He Fujin raised his head slightly, as if he was considering, and finally nodded, still responding with a little reserve: "Yes!" ”

He didn't look too surprised, because in the past few days, Liu Chengyou had already appointed several state defense envoys, regimental training envoys, and assassin officials, all of whom were still in the state cities controlled by the Khitans. Yingzhou, too.

After He Fujin retreated, thinking about his always steady performance, he had a clear understanding in his heart. A veteran like He Fujin is a veteran of the courtiers, who has been tired of dynasties, even if he has the talent of a general, he can use it, but it is difficult to entrust him with his confidants. In comparison, it is still better to use and control by young people.

"He Fujin put me on a par with Zhuang Zong, but I was flattered!" came to a little interested, Liu Chengyou said to Wei Renpu, and his tone was a little playful: "Si Zhuangzong's loss of country and death is terrifying. ”

Wei Renpu is already a little accustomed to it, Liu Chengyou talks about history and people's preferences with people, thinks about it, and responds: "Zhuang Zong has been the people of Hedong for more than ten years, attacking Zhuliang in the south, destroying Jiyan in the north, merging Hebei in the east, and Fuqi in the west, and the world can no match it. However, what is the work of winning the country, and how fast is losing the country, people have long discussed it, and it is not only the number of people who mess with the government, who are jealous of meritorious heroes, and who are stingy with merit and money......."

As a man of the hour in this era, Liu Chengyou has heard a lot of Li Cunmiao's story, and Liu Chengyou can always hear the meaning of "mourning his misfortune and being angry with him". After all, in the Later Tang Dynasty, as long as Li Cunqiao did not mess around, it was very likely that he would dominate the world in advance, end this troubled era, and completely inherit Tang Zuo.

However, from youth to prime of life, Li Cunmiao played a good card for more than ten years, and finally broke it.

Listening to Wei Renpu's words, Liu Chengyou had a familiar sentence in his mind: "Sorrow and labor can rejuvenate the country, Yiyu can die, and the principle of nature is also." ”

was a little surprised, and pondered slightly, Wei Renpu said that Liu Chengyou's words were summed up well.

"Zhuang Zong went out of Hedong and died after three years of winning the country; The ancestors of Jin went out of Hedong, and the country died for two generations; Now my father and son are out of Hedong to fight for the world, how many years can they win the country? Suddenly, Liu Chengyou said quietly.

Wei Renpu was startled and glanced at Liu Chengyou carefully, but seeing that he seemed to be talking to himself, he quickly lowered his head, and he didn't dare to answer for a while. After a long time, I didn't dare to make a comment.

Liu Chengyou indifferently said something that made Wei Renpu frightened and inexplicable: "If not, the second will die!" ”
