Things involving life and death are not something that Liu Chengyou can fool casually, of course, Liu Chengyou himself doesn't think that Zhao Yanshou will make sense as soon as he says it, and he easily agrees.

After regaining his composure, Liu Chengyou quietly looked at Zhao Yanshou, whose face was uncertain. With a very personable look, he sat for a while and said softly: "This matter is not in a hurry, King Yan can think about it!" ”

got up and made a salute, Liu Chengyou greeted the guards, left Zhao Yanshou, who was still pondering, and walked slowly. Before going out, he stopped, Liu Chengyou seemed to think of it by chance, and said, "By the way, I forgot to tell King Yan." News came from the south that Zhao Kuangzan, the envoy of the middle section of the Ruzi River, had entered the table of the Son of Heaven and expressed his surrender......"

Zhao Yanshou suddenly came back to his senses, and his expression changed.

......

When twilight fell, the Zhendingzhou Ya on a summer night was dotted with a not bright light, but the Yatang was brightly lit.

In the hall, several confidant generals gathered together to express their views on Liu Chengyou's proposal for Zhao Yanshou. However, Liu Chengyou has obviously made up his mind, and there is not much room for maneuvering, and he has considered it all. It's not so much about listening to your subordinates' advice as you are about explaining your ideas to them.

Several generals, their faces were calm, and they were silent for a while, but they still sent Xun and continued to retain his opinion: "The last general still thinks that it is not worth it!" ”

"Zhao Yanshou is not credible!" This is Ma Quanyi's opinion.

"The Khitan people's power in Youyan is still not weak, even if as His Royal Highness said, the Khitan has internal friction in seizing the throne, it is not easy for Zhao Yanshou to occupy Youzhou alone!" Murong Yanzhao said.

"My purpose is not whether Zhao Yanshou can take Youzhou, but how much trouble he can make in Youzhou and how much trouble he can cause to the Khitans!" Liu Chengyou finally spoke.

"However, can the situation really develop as His Highness expected?" Xiang Xun shook his head and said, "Zhao Yanshou really dares to go against the Khitans? Even if he goes north, what if he takes refuge in Hulu again? ”

Liu Chengyou finally showed a touch of contemplation. Xiang Xun said, it's not impossible, don't look at Zhao Yanshou now seems to be intolerant of the Khitan, but once something changes, take refuge again, and be a leader of the party, I'm afraid there won't be too much psychological pressure.

In the Central Plains, it is not uncommon for towns to rebel and rebel.

Liu Chengyou only paused slightly, looked around and said, "Over the past few years, you must have heard some rumors. In other words, the battle of Luancheng was the combination of Lone and Zhao Yanshou, communicating with each other, Yan soldiers were raised inside, and our army was attacking outside, so there was such a big victory! ”

"Now, the news has begun to spread to the land of the Hidden Swallow......

Hearing Liu Chengyou say such a short paragraph abruptly, the generals were stunned, but Guo Rong and Wei Renpu, who had not spoken, quickly understood Liu Chengyou's plan.

Liu Chengyou didn't deliberately sell Guanzi, and said directly: "Even if Zhao Yanshou dares to take refuge in the Khitans, even if the Khitans are willing to accept him again, I want to make Zhao Yanshou feel empty-hearted!" ”

The generals were not very sensitive to this, and their reactions were somewhat sluggish. However, there are always smart people who understand Liu Chengyou's thoughts, including Tao Gu, who stayed silently on the sidelines.

At this time, seeing that everyone was silent, his eyes flashed twice, he saluted Liu Chengyou, and said cautiously: "Your Highness, when the lower official was in Tokyo, I heard about it. Zhao Yanshou had the ambition to win the country, and the Liao lord Yelu Deguang also promised him to take the Central Plains and make him emperor. It was only later that the Liao lord broke the contract, which made him resentful and had a quarrel with the Hu people. ”

"His Royal Highness allowed him Youyan's fiefdom, whether it is debatable."

Sure enough, the literati always look at the problem differently, and Tao Gu almost bluntly reminded Liu Chengyou that Zhao Yanshou has the heart of hegemony and cannot be let go.

But Liu Chengyou's political sense of smell didn't seem to be keen, as if he didn't understand Tao Gu's meaning, he waved his hand and said calmly: "At this time, for my court, the land of Youyan is not much different from that in the hands of Zhao Yanshou in the hands of the Khitans. ”

With a confident and calm look, he added: "Even if Zhao Yanshou has a heart of disobedience, so what?" ”

"If Zhao Yanshou can really capture Youzhou, it will indeed be a good move." At this time, Guo Rong finally spoke.

Not much to say, although the attitude is biased, but it seems that there is half a sentence that has not been finished. Obviously, even Guo Rong has some reservations about Liu Chengyou's decision.

However, it is still the same sentence, the development of things is likely not to go according to his ideas, it is too uncontrollable, and Liu Chengyou seems to take it for granted.

However, there are some things that need to be done, even if you know that the risks are high. According to Liu Chengyou's thoughts, the worst result is that Zhao Yanshou will go north, surrender directly to the Khitan, and then become the vanguard of the Khitan invasion of the south again.

However, not to mention how much this possibility is. Even so, after the heavy damage of the Luancheng War, how long will it take for the Khitan to recover its national strength and have the spare strength to go south again. Moreover, they first have to resolve internal contradictions.

After the continuous in-depth analysis and understanding of Feng Dao, Wei Renpu and others, there is a high probability that there will be a battle between Yelu Ruan and Shu Luping, the empress dowager of Liao.

You can see the risks, and of course, you have to see the huge benefits behind the risks. If Zhao Yanshou can really take Youzhou, it can make it the northern barrier of Liujiajiang and relieve the defensive pressure in the north.

At that time, it will be positioned as the "Northern Han" and become a buffer zone between the two countries, and once the Central Plains is stabilized and the strength is restored, it will definitely be easier to recapture Youyan from the Zhao clan than directly from the Khitans.

No matter how bad it is, if Zhao Yanshou fails, it can also cause trouble to the Khitans, weaken the stability of Youyan, and destroy its development, so that it cannot continue to provide nutrients for the growth of the Khitan in a short period of time.

No matter how much he thought about it, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but sigh in his heart, or the current military strength is insufficient, the national strength is not sustained, and the situation is not conducive to foreign wars. Otherwise, taking advantage of the impact of the first battle of Luancheng, this is the best time for the Central Plains to recapture Youyan and rebuild the northern frontier, without Liu Chengyou being here, trying his best to do these things.

probably saw Liu Chengyou's determination, and no one continued to dissuade him, because as he said, no matter whether things work out or not, the impact on the new dynasty is not great, and it is only regarded as an attempt.

However, Zhang Yanwei finally raised an objection: "It is okay for His Highness to go north even if Zhao Yanshou goes, but why should he give Yan Bing to him, this point will not be agreed, I am afraid that raising tigers will be a problem!" ”

"If only Zhao Yanshou is alone, how much trouble can he make in Youzhou?" Liu Chengyou asked rhetorically.

Regarding Yan Bing's matter, Liu Chengyou also considered it. is still the same sentence, this force is not so easy to swallow, they have long been in their own line, and their roots are all in Yandi. If it is forcibly left in the country, unless it is completely dispersed, sooner or later there will be chaos.

Instead of this, Mo Ruo let him go back to Youzhou and followed Zhao Yanshou to set off a stormy wave. These people are the culprits of the defeat of the Khitans, and their hands are basically stained with the blood of the Hu people, and in a short period of time, we can still look forward to their development after returning to Youzhou.

thought a lot, however, in the end, the focus was still on Zhao Yanshou.

If Zhao Yanshou doesn't do it, then Liu Chengyou really can't find someone who can be replaced for a while, and at that time, Liu Chengyou will have more expressions on his own......
