Time flies, another year has passed in a blink of an eye, this summer, the weather is hot, the scorching sun is scorching the Central Plains, and the weather is unbearable.

On this day, Liu Zhiyuan invited Yu Qing and others to go to the mountain camp to escape the summer. This summer resort is wooded, shady and shaded, and a clear spring flowing from the back mountain flies down from the high gap, and the water mist formed a seven-colored rainbow, and the water mist spreads out, permeating the pavilions and pavilions, which is even cooler, as if the scorching sun outside the mountain has nothing to do with here.

In such a leisure and comfortable environment, Yu Qing was depressed. Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Yu, why are you depressed? Are you thinking about Brother Zhao again, oh! Look at my mouth, Brother Zhao is used to it, and he can't change his mouth for a while, it should be Miss Zhao, are you thinking about her again? ”

Yu Qing said: "Brother Liu, you know, I'm really sorry for Kuang Yan!" I don't even know where she is now, am I really useless? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother, I understand your thoughts, I am also a person from the past, how could it not be the case with Sanniang back then, but a manly husband, you should focus on the world and the country, and don't indulge too much in the love of children!" ”

Yu Qing said: "I know, I know which is more important, I have my own measure." ”

"Then I'm relieved." Liu Zhiyuan patted Yu Qing on the shoulder.

At this time, Guo Wei came to report, and when he saw Yu Qing here, he leaned into Liu Zhiyuan's ear and said so.

Liu Zhiyuan frowned, and asked in a stern voice, "Have you inquired clearly?" ”

Guo Wei said: "It's true! The spy I arranged followed them out of Yanmen Pass. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Yu is not an outsider, and there is no need to avoid him, tell me what you think." ”

Guo Wei glanced at Yu Qing, after all, everyone was not deeply acquainted, but since Liu Zhiyuan had already said it, he did not avoid it, so he said: "My lord, Bai Kejiu has already surrendered to the Khitan after a tent, and was appointed by Yelu Deguang as the observer of Yunzhou, and Bai Chengfu also has the intention of returning north." In my opinion, if it goes on like this, it will not be a good thing, and I am afraid that it must be dealt with immediately, otherwise there will be many dreams at night, lest it change. ”

Liu Zhiyuan stroked his beard and said, "Que'er, what you said is very true, without further ado, you should go back to your home immediately and notify all ministries to prepare for contingencies." Brother Yu, you and I will go to Tokyo, and I will enter Beijing to face the saint. ”

Yu Qing said: "Brother Liu, what is so urgent that you need to enter Beijing to face the saint?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Do you still remember the Tugu Hun where you went to pick up at Yanmen Pass? ”

Yu Qing said: "Remember! ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "It's them, their leader is called Bai Chengfu, originally Bai Chengfu has been subordinated to my Great Jin, but the chieftains under him have different ambitions, Bai Chengfu is also a little shaken, if they are allowed to return to the Khitan in the north, our military deployment, the people's border defense and other secrets will be leaked, and more importantly, the Tuyuhun Dingding will fall to the Khitan." ”

Yu Qing asked, "Brother Liu, how many of them are there?" Khitan Yelu Deguang has always been deliberately trying to get his hands on this Tuyuhun Ding, what kind of treasure is this Tuyuhun Ding? ”

Liu Zhiyuan was thoughtful, slowly looked into the distance, their eyes were full of perseverance, full of longing, for a long time, and said: "Have you heard of the top of Kyushu?" ”

Yu Qing said: "I haven't heard of it, I have been on the border of the Western Regions for a long time, and I don't know much about the Central Plains? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "The tripod of Kyushu was originally the treasure of the country in ancient times, and during the Western Zhou Dynasty, King Wu of Zhou ruled the world and divided the royal family into kings, and each of Kyushu in the world held a tripod. Later, the Zhou family declined, the vassal states in order to get the symbol of the supreme right of Jiuding, each other's conquest, the world was in chaos, and later King Zhou Xian had no choice but to sink Jiuding into Surabaya, since then Jiuding disappeared. During the Tang Zhenguan period, Murong Tuyuhun accidentally got the big king tripod in the nine tripods and named it Tuyuhun Ding. Originally, Tuyuhun has always adhered to the mystery of Wang Ding, but after all, there is no impermeable wall in the world, the news leaked, and the warlords with a little strength in the Central Plains all wanted to get the Tuyuhun Ding, and the Khitan was also eyeing Baoding. Now that Tuyuhun is under my rule, how can I watch Baoding gain and lose? ”

Yu Qing listened, looked at Liu Zhiyuan with surprise, and asked, "Could it be that the eldest brother also wants to chase the Central Plains?" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "The husband should take the world as his own responsibility, and the land east of the river is not my ultimate goal Liu Zhiyuan?" ”

Yu Qing knew that Liu Zhiyuan's plan was very big, and finally understood why Liu Zhiyuan had to go to great lengths for the Tugu Hun of more than 1,000 people to enter Beijing to face the saint.

Liu Zhiyuan continued: "Brother Yu, now that Baoding is in our hands, the destiny of heaven is attributed, and the hegemony is profitable, you are a rare general, so I always hope that you can stay and help me." ”

From the bottom of his heart, Yu Qing deeply admires Liu Zhiyuan's grand plan, and also hopes that a heroic figure can appear to dominate the world, end the war, and rescue the people of the world from the dire situation of the war. However, Liu Zhiyuan was clearly not the person that Uncle Taishi was looking for.

Yu Qing fell into deep thought, and he said: "Brother Liu, it's not that I don't want to help you, but I have a mission. Yu Qing did not dare to disobey the order of the master, but you can rest assured, as long as time permits, you have a place where you can use me, and I will definitely fight the fire. ”

Liu Zhiyuan held Yu Qing's hand and said, "Brother, it's enough to have your words." ”

At this time, a subordinate came down to report: "Your Excellency, you are all ready, you can go!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Without further ado, we will enter Beijing immediately. ”

Liu Zhiyuan and Yu Qing rode lightly and galloped towards Tokyo on fast horses.

Tokyo Kaifeng, the capital of the Great Jin Dynasty.

Liu Zhiyuan met with the Emperor Shi Chonggui of the Great Jin Dynasty, and returned to Khitan with Bai Kejiu, the chief of the Tugu Hun Tribe, surrendered to Yelu Deguang, and was appointed as the observer of Yunzhou.

After listening to Liu Zhiyuan's report, Shi Chonggui disagreed and said: "I treat Bai Chengfu well, since the beginning of this year, Bai Aiqing has followed me on the expedition and fought against the Khitan in Lanzhou, we defeated the Khitan with the same enemy, and later Bai Aiqing and Zhang Congen guarded Huazhou and repelled many attacks by the Khitan, he hated the Khitan to the bone, how could he take refuge in the Khitan?" This kind of groundless thing, the Taishi should not chase the wind and catch the shadows, and wronged the good people. As for Bai Kejiu, if they want to go, let him go, there are more than 1,000 people, they return to the Khitan in the north, and they don't pose any threat to my Great Jin, and it's useless to stay, why should Taishi bother for such a trivial matter? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "The minister heard the words of the sage: the so-called near is happy, and the far is coming." Your Majesty, although there are only more than 1,000 people in Tuyuhun, if we are uneasy to appease them and let them return to the Khitan in the north, people who don't know still think that my Great Jin can't tolerate people, and for those who want to break away from the Khitan and belong to our dynasty, it will shake their determination, which is not beneficial to the great cause and harmful, and the Tuyuhun people have always been fierce, if they return to the Khitan in the north, the stability of the border of our Great Jin Dynasty will bring instability, and I hope the emperor will think twice? ”

Shi Chonggui said: "According to the words of the Taishi, what should I do? ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Your Majesty, Tuyuhun is repeatedly difficult to protect, since Bai Chengfu's heart to return to the north to the Khitan has risen, if we categorically refuse their request, then they will definitely be resentful, and if it causes disaster, it will be detrimental to the overall situation." In Yichen's opinion, it is better to move 1,900 of them to the interior and scatter them and resettle them separately, so that on the one hand, we will show that we do not treat them as outsiders, and on the other hand, even if they have any second thoughts, it will be difficult to become a climate, and then it will not be a problem. ”

Shi Chonggui laughed and said: "It is said that Taishi Liu is both wise and brave, resourceful, and has the courage to collapse Mount Tai in front and not change his color, and the Yellow River to decide in the back and not to see for a moment, but today's Tuguhun matter, Taishi is too fussy to make a big fuss!" I'm afraid that Taishi is not just to appease Tuyuhun, right? ”

Shi Chonggui has something to say, of course Liu Zhiyuan knows that if he pretends to be stupid and behaves again, it may cause Shi Chonggui's suspicion. He suddenly knelt on the ground and said: "The emperor is sage, the minister has always been loyal to the emperor, there is no second heart, the minister followed the emperor to fight in the south and the north, born and died, although the establishment of the Great Jin Dynasty, but there are Khitan tigers in the north, ten countries in the south covet, the west has the Western Xia army to press the border, and the east has the Japanese invaders for many years, it can be said that it is stormy and turbulent. Ministers along the way, knowing that the Great Jin Dynasty is not easy to come by, and now the emperor inherits the unification, first refusing to call the Khitan a minister, the whole world, the whole country, the four seas are jubilant. As a relict of the two dynasties, the minister also felt honored. The minister came this time, there is indeed an important thing to report, that is, for the Tuyuhun Ding, the Khitan lord Yelu Deguang has long been eyeing the Tuyuhun Ding, if Tuyuhun returns to the Khitan in the north, they will definitely bring Baoding into the Khitan, and the consequences can be imagined, so we must prevent Tuyuhun from returning to the north. ”

Shi Chonggui said: "The Taishi finally got to the point, and according to what the Taishi said, the Tuyuhun Department will be moved inward, and the Tuyuhun Dingding must be obtained and transported to Tokyo in time." ”

Liu Zhiyuan knelt down and said: "The minister receives the order, and the minister retires." ”
