Early in the morning of the second day, Li Shaoyou came to the door to say goodbye to Liu Chengyou, and was called by Liu Chengyou to talk secretly for a while, and then leisurely returned to Jinyang to reply to the decree.

"It's a loss, it's a loss!" The carriage slowly moved north, sitting in the car, sniffing the faint fragrance of flowers floating in the air, and muttering incessantly.

With his back against the carriage and his body constantly shaking with the carriage, Li Shaoyou recalled the task that Liu Chengyou gave him before parting. After returning to Jinyang, prepare a heavy gift, on behalf of Liu Chengyou, to visit Su Fengji......

Although he didn't say it thoroughly, with Li Shaoyou's cleverness, he thought of the situation in the Jinyang court, and effortlessly understood Liu Chengyou's "deep meaning". To his surprise, in terms of gifts, Liu Chengyou didn't say anything at all.

Liu Chengyou's plain face came to mind, and Li Shaoyou was a little helpless. However, although he sighed in his mouth, he clearly had a smile on his face. Liu Erlang obviously regarded his cousin as a confidant.

"Lang Jun, what are you talking about, you suffered a loss from the second prince?" Hearing Li Shaoyou's muttering, leaning on his side, a beautiful lady with a beautiful posture asked curiously.

This is one of Li Shaoyou's favorite concubines, Xinna, not long ago, she loves it very much, even if she comes to preach the edict this time, she also takes it with her to play.

Listening to the beauty's coquettish voice, Li Shaoyou turned his head, looked at her calmly, and then his eyes were cold, and he scolded coldly: "You shouldn't know, don't ask!" ”

The man's sudden turn of face caught the beauty off guard, frightened, and subconsciously lowered her head and said "yes" twice in a panic.

Seeing the delicate appearance of the beauty fertilized, Li Shaoyou casually pinched her chin, pinched her delicate face, and a smile bloomed on her face: "This time, I really suffered a loss, but I am happy to ......"

......

Liu Chengyou, on his side, after sending Li Shaoyou away, ordered someone to invite Murong Yanzhao and Han Tong.

"Your Highness, I don't know what Your Highness has to call the two generals, what do you command?" In the hall, Murong Yanzhao and Han Tong looked at each other, looked at Liu Chengyou and asked.

Liu Chengyou was not verbose, and directly ordered: "There is a problem on the Jinzhou side, Luo Conglang, the deputy envoy of the Jianxiong Army, imprisoned the envoy of our court, and deliberately turned his back on the thief. Jinyang decided to send an army to crusade, defeat Buchen, take Jinzhou, and defend the east of the river! The edict ordered Lone to send troops, and Lone wants to let the two of you lead your troops westward! ”

Jinzhou is two hundred miles west of Luzhou, and it can be seen from the map that since the capture of Luzhou, the gap in the core area of Hedong is only the territory of Jinzhou.

"Obey!" Han Tong simply responded to the order.

Murong Yanzhao thought about it more and asked, "Your Highness, our army is far away, why didn't the imperial court send troops from the closer Xizhou and Qinzhou, but instead seek the near and far?" ”

"Although the two prefectures of Xi and Qin are close to each other, their troops are weak, and their self-defense is still insufficient. After all, we are the only ones who are more suitable! Liu Chengyou explained lightly.

"This time, let's send out the Fourth Army and cavalry!"

"We're riding more than a thousand paces?" Han Tong blurted out a question.

Liu Chengyou looked at Murong Yanzhao: "Brother Yanzhao, are there any more questions?" ”

Murong Yanzhao thought about it, and "snapped" and clenched his fists: "The last general will obey the order!" ”

After the replenishment of Lu and Zezhou, the armies of Longqi have been expanded, and the Fourth Army under the command of Murong Yanzhao has finally gotten rid of the "congenital insufficiency" and has been able to catch up with the number of troops.

After a slight pause, Liu Chengyou explained the situation in Jinju to the two of them.

The situation in Jinju is not complicated, it is similar to Luzhou. Originally, Liu Zaiming, who stayed in Jinzhou, also went to Tokyo Kaifeng to meet Yelu Deguang, leaving the deputy envoy Luo Conglang to power the Jinzhou military. After Liu Zhiyuan was proclaimed emperor, he sent envoys Zhang Yanhong and Xin Chuming to Jinzhou to tell him to ascend to the pole and recruit the civil and military forces of Jinzhou.

It's a pity that the effect doesn't seem to be very good, Luo Conglang has an ambiguous attitude, maybe he has expectations for the strength of the Khitans, or he is simply greedy for power and does not want to surrender, and when Liu Chengyou and Geng Chongmei wrestled their wrists, the two envoys Zhang and Xin were imprisoned.

The current situation in Jinju may be more tense than that of Luzhou half a month ago, but it is not much more severe. Liu Chengyou sent Murong Yanzhao to give him a chance to show his ability independently. For Murong Yanzhao, Liu Chengyou still has some confidence.

......

In Tokyo in March, the atmosphere seems to be even more depressing.

The Khitan armies that plundered Dugi finally slowly gathered together, and it can be seen that the Khitan army has "gained a lot", from the generals to the pawns, there are no empty bags.

gold and silver vessels, silk brocade silk, grain and livestock...... All kinds of goods were piled up in the Khitan military camp. For a time, Tokyo concentrated almost the wealth of the entire Central Plains here.

At the same time, under the edict of Yelu Deguang, there were already several groups of troops escorting goods to the north.

In the Biangong Palace, Yelu Deguang was still the same, enjoying the fruits of his victory. The beauties of the harem of the Jin family, who are favored by him are less than eleven, and he is still working hard.

The "bad news" from the states of the Central Plains can no longer have any impact on Yelu Deguang, and as far as he is concerned, as long as the Hebei region is still stable, it is acceptable for the time being.

In fact, although there were also riots and turmoil, the situation in Hebei was indeed much more stable than that of the Central Plains, which was already surging like boiling oil in a hot pot.

Lately, Yerod Light has been in a good mood. After the main force of the Liao army was dispatched, the "rebellious people" in Lanzhou were quickly extinguished, and the "thief leader" Wang Qiong was killed. Although the ferry head was destroyed, boats began to be collected on the big river to prepare for the re-establishment of a pontoon bridge at Baimadu in Huazhou in the west.

At the same time, the scattered Liao army regrouped, giving him a sense of security. The operation of retreating north was also carried out very smoothly, a large amount of goods had been loaded, and more than half of the wealth in the Biangong Palace had been packed.

The Jin soldiers, who were originally a huge threat, were also split by him, and some of them were handed over to Du Chongwei and taken to Yecheng. The rest were also scattered to be used to carry goods, ordnance, and livestock, and to do hard work. (This is a stupid move, these Jin soldiers surrendered, some killed the Khitan prison army and swallowed the supplies, and some simply gave it to Hedong as a capital for promotion...... ）

In fact, in the Biangong Palace, Yelu Deguang is no longer as "debaucherous" as he was when he was proud before, and during this time, he is still "heartfelt".

"Your Majesty." The servant Zhang Li took a notebook and came to visit.

Zhang Li is also an old Hanchen of the Khitan, following two generations of Khitan emperors, Yelu Deguang was polite to him, waved his hand and said: "Give a seat." ”

But Zhang Li obviously didn't even have the mood to sit down, his face didn't hide his worries at all, and he said to Yelu Deguang with a solemn expression: "Heyang Cui Tingxun came to report, Geng Chongmei led the Yan soldiers, and the whole army was annihilated......"

"Oh, I see." Yerod responded casually at first, and then reacted immediately, describing the shock: "What did you say? How can it be? ”

Zhang Li wiped the sweat that did not necessarily exist on his forehead, and handed the notebook to Yelu Deguang: "This is the details reported by Cui Tingxun, Your Majesty, please take a look ......at it."

With a gloomy face, Yerod looked at it and was directly angry.

Soon, Yelu Deguang summoned a group of Hu Han ministers to discuss the meeting in Chongyuan Palace, expressing his anger in an almost roaring way, regardless of the dissuasion of his subordinates: "I want to personally raise the army to go north, break Luzhou, step on the east of the river, and avenge Geng Gong!" ”

However, although the slogan was shouted loudly, there was no implementation in the future. In addition to ordering the subordinate states and counties of the Liao State around Hedong to strengthen the defense of Hedong, Yelu Deguang ordered to speed up the action of retreating north.
