Liu Xincun sighed secretly, Li Yun's old problem was committed again. This person must not drink alcohol, and if he drinks too much, he will speak falsely.

In addition, Li Yun's suspicion is very serious, and he has always been worried that he will be chopped off by his son and generals like Liang Taizu Zhu Wen.

To tell the truth, although Li Yun is greedy for money and lustful, he never touches the property and family members of his subordinates, which makes Liu Xincun feel gratified.

"Marshal, I have followed you for more than 20 years, and at that time you were just a battalion commander." Liu Xincun said with tears in his eyes and full of affectionate emotion, "I always remember that if it weren't for the handsome man who came to your rescue, the whole clan would have been wiped out a long time ago." ”

"Dashuai, in the entire territory of the Zhaoyi Army, everyone knows that I, Liu Xianzhong, am your person in life, and your ghost in death. Over the years, you have stayed in the bottom line, with nearly 10,000 acres of land, countless silver coins, and no less generous gifts during the New Year's holidays. Liu Xincun is very loyal to Li Yun, but he is not Hai Rui's dead eye, he has always known that after Li Yun drinks too much, it is the time when he is most suspicious.

At this juncture, if Liu Xincun and Li Yun put a hard top of truth and reasoning, it can only be summed up in one word: looking for death!

Therefore, Liu Xincun completely softened his body and adopted a soft and rigid approach, hoping to impress Li Yun with his old friendship for many years.

Li Yun really ate this set, and after he was stunned for a long time, he asked Liu Xincun coldly: "According to what you said, you are not optimistic about the Khitans, but think that the milk doll of Tongstinzi can win?" ”

Liu Xincun secretly breathed a sigh of relief, Li Yun is actually a coach who can listen to different opinions, but his suspicion is much more serious than that of others, especially not touching wine.

Since the late Tang Dynasty, all martial artists who can stand out on the political stage have always had something extraordinary, and Li Yun is no exception!

How to say it, although Li Yun scrapes the ground more fiercely, he is still very willing to reward his cronies for his deeds, and it is a heavy reward.

In Liu Xincun's view, the Zhaoyi Army belonged to the land of Ze, Lu, Xing, Wei, and Cizhou, but because of the perennial battle with Liu Han, the Khitans went south to fight the grass valley almost every year, resulting in a large number of Zhuangding people fleeing south.

Because of the war, the original fertile Hebei Plain has become a poor and remote land with barren land and poor people.

Stability overrides everything, and it actually makes perfect sense. No matter how heavy the taxes of the Zhaoyi Army are, as long as the grass people can produce stably, have food to eat, and have hope, the society will not be in chaos.

Objectively speaking, with the assistance of Liu Xincun, Li Yun also introduced a lot of good policies that are conducive to recruiting strong men and expanding agricultural production, which is also the confidence that the barren Zhaoyi Army can feed 50,000 soldiers and horses in just five states.

The problem now is that Liu Jun of Jinyang is going to make trouble again, he not only took the initiative to send important ministers to contact Li Yun, but also brought Yelu Huge's envoy, Yelu Wuqing, the king of the northern courtyard of the Khitan Kingdom.

Li Yun's territory is located at the junction of Hebei and Hedong, and he knows a little about the reality of the northern country.

The Khitan Taizu Yelu Abaoji is divided into five ministries and six ministries, each with a Yili Jin in charge of management. During the time of Khitan Taizong, Yili Jin was changed to the king, the king of the north court who was in charge of the five ministries, and the king of the south court who governed the six ministries.

The bureaucratic system of the Khitan people is actually the earliest one country, two systems, which is divided into northern officials and southern officials, especially the northern officials.

The supreme military and political power of the Northern Officials is divided into the Northern Privy Council and the Northern Prime Minister's Office, which controls all the soldiers and horses of the Khitan State, and the Northern Prime Minister's Office controls the large and small civil affairs of the Khitan State.

The Southern Privy Council, located in Youzhou, actually has much less power, and only controls the Han soldiers and horses subordinate to the Khitan State. In terms of both the quantity and quality of the troops, the Southern Privy Council was not only far inferior to the military power at the disposal of the Northern Privy Council, but must also be at the disposal of the Northern Privy Council.

In fact, the Khitans are not stupid at all, and they also deeply understand a truth: those who are not of our race must have different hearts, and they must be closely monitored and guarded against the Han people.

Yelu Wu quality, that is the Khitan royal patriarch of the five dynasties, his status is surprisingly high, and his real power is second only to the privy envoy of the Northern Court and the prime minister of the Northern Court, and he can be regarded as one of the few important ministers of the Khitan State.

As far as Li Yun knows, Yelu Hugo used the military power at hand to empty the Khitan sleeping emperor, and in the process of ascending to the throne of the regent of the Khitan Kingdom, Yelu Wuzhi played a vital role.

Therefore, Yelu Hugo made an exception and arranged for Yelu Wuzhi to act as a special envoy, and personally came to negotiate directly with Li Yun as the king of the Northern Courtyard, so it is conceivable that he attached great importance to this cooperation and alliance.

Based on Liu Xincun's secret observation, it was precisely because Yelu Xiuge expressed full sincerity that Li Yun, who was originally dissatisfied with Chai Rong, was really moved.

In the face of Li Yun's aggressive criticism, Liu Xincun was by no means an idle person, he took advantage of being familiar with Li Yun's personality and explained tactfully again: "Dashuai, Guo Wei does treat you well, but Chai Rong, a salt and tea seller, is really unfair to you, not only wary of you everywhere, but also wants to transfer you away from the Zhaoyi Army and play a little trick to divert the tiger from the mountain." If you hadn't noticed the conspiracy of Fan Zhen and Empress Dowager Fu and got out of Kaifeng as soon as possible, your hard-earned foundation would have been taken away by the stinky little baby Chai Liuge. ”

Not to mention, Liu Xincun's heart-warming sycophants just hit Li Yun's heart, making him feel a lot more comfortable, and temporarily forgot about the ugly thing that had just been lifted over the table.

In the troubled times, having a gun and a territory is the truth of the grass king, which feudal town doesn't understand?

Although Li Yun has always looked down on Li Zhongyi, in fact, his background cannot be compared with Li Zhongyi, a copper stinker.

Li Zhongyi's father, Li Dahe, was the imperial physician of the Shu Imperial Court Pharmacy from the six products, and belonged to the petty bureaucratic class.

In the eyes of the scholar class, Li Dahe is just a lucky official, but after all, he is a high-ranking official.

Li Yun is different, his ancestors have been within five generations, and they are all the guardians of the Taiyuan land and wealth advocates. If it weren't for the chaos in the world, Li Yun took advantage of the situation to join the army, and won the appreciation of Li Congrong, the king of the Later Tang and Qin Dynasty, by virtue of his military exploits, and since then he has risen step by step, gaining fame and territory, he is just a lowly person who does not enter the stream.

"Dashuai, you have 50,000 male soldiers, guarding the northern border for the children of salt and tea sellers, and you have worked hard all these years." Liu Xincun secretly wiped a cold sweat, his heart was so dangerous, and he almost couldn't pass the test again.

As the saying goes, a companion is like a tiger, and when he arrives at Liu Xincun, he has become a tiger with a handsome man like a devouring tiger!

"That's right, without Lao Tzu leading the sons, tying his head to the waistband of his trousers, and killing in the east and west, can the little emperor of Kaifeng sit on the throne?" Li Yun looked at Liu at this moment, and his heart was particularly pleasing to the eye.

The tooth soldiers and generals who are in charge of guarding on the side, who don't give a thumbs up, secretly praise Liu Xincun, who is both loyal and clever!

Liu Xincun didn't care about wiping the cold sweat on the vest, and when Li Yun was happy, he hurriedly persuaded him: "Marshal, you have tens of thousands of elite soldiers and strong generals, as long as you don't take a stand for the time being, both sides will not be offended." In the future, whether it is the victory of the copper stinky son or the victory of Yelu Hugh, we will have a lot of room to move around. ”

Sensing that Li Yun's demeanor was showing some signs of loosening, Liu Xincun hurriedly struck while the iron was hot and patted his ass: "With your world-class strategy, all you lack is time." As long as Tong Smelly and Yelu Hugo fight and lose both, at that time, you will first raise troops to take Jinyang, and after several years of operation, you will go south to the side of Qingjun, and turn over the world of Chai Rong, a salt and tea seller, just around the corner! ”

Li Yun was very happy in his heart, and his biggest dream in his life was to take Taiyuan first, then destroy Chai Zhou, and then go north to the Khitan, and finally become the supreme of the world.

"Haha, this beauty will reward you, you will take good care of her for me." Li Yun grabbed the beautiful half-fruit singer lying on the couch, and pushed her into Liu Xincun's arms, "Hehe, this little lady is good at sucking power, I'm afraid you can't bear this old bone, haha......"

Liu Xincun hugged the half-fruit singer who was pushed into his arms, and secretly complained in his heart, since he followed Li Yun's left and right, over the years, there have been as many as twenty concubines around him, and all of them were given by Li Yun.

Objectively speaking, Liu Xincun adheres to the inherent style of the scholar class, but he is romantic and will never be obscene. He doesn't mind playing around. But the problem is that in addition to the old wife, the family is full of beautiful concubines that Li Yun once cultivated, which makes Liu Xincun's heart inevitably feel a little uncomfortable.

Rewarding concubines comes second, and the key is that Li Yun attaches great importance to the attitude of others towards what he has given.

If Li Yun heard that Liu Xincun sent these poor women back to his hometown or transferred them to others, he would definitely be furious, thinking that Liu Xincun didn't take him to heart.

"Thank you for the generous reward, even if you are tired and break your waist, you have to taste it alive, how good is this woman's absorption?" Liu Xincun cooperated with Li Yun's emotions and deliberately put on a squinting appearance to show the tacit understanding of the same smell.

"Haha, look at you, what's the hurry? Why don't I go and change my clothes? Li Yun didn't drink much, but Liu Xincun's discerning eyes made him feel very happy, and he simply wanted to be an adult.

Even if Liu Xincun has no bottom line and is shameless, it is impossible for him to do such a reluctance in the hall of the Jiedu Embassy.

"Dashuai, I'm getting older next year, I managed to clean up my second daughter last night, and I'm still sore in my back, alas, I can't do anything in the short term." Liu Xincun knew what Li Yun liked to listen to the most, so he hurried to make up jokes to do what he liked.

"Haha, I have a good kidney tonic here, so I'll reward you with a box, and when you go back and try it, you'll know the wonders." When Li Yun is in a good mood, the whole person is exceptionally cheerful and atmospheric, and he will never be soft on rewarding things.

This is also one of the magic weapons that Li Yun can encircle a large number of old subordinates!

"Xianzhong, I know your good intentions, come on, let's temporarily perfunctory Liu Jun and Yelu Wu. However, this opportunity is really rare, you first have a good talk with those who came from Kaifeng, and see how to fight for the most favorable situation for us? After Li Yun drank a cup of sobering soup, the strength of the wine dissipated slightly, and the whole person's mind cleared up a lot, and he immediately recovered the shrewdness and strength that a feudal town should have.
