Besides, after the great eunuch Zhang Gonggong came to Taiyuan to ask Tuyuhun Ding, although Liu Zhiyuan sent him away with a few words, Liu Zhiyuan knew that Yelu Deguang had always coveted Tuyuhun Ding, and he would definitely not give up.

Sure enough, as Liu Zhiyuan expected, after Shi Jingjiao's death, Yelu Deguang really sent Qiao Rong to Hedong Mansion again. Qiao Rong was originally a guy who bullied the soft and was afraid of the hard, he had always been more afraid of Liu Zhiyuan, after coming to Taiyuan, he saw Liu Zhiyuan's fierce generals gathered, the military appearance was majestic, and Yu Qing, who was famous at Yanmen Pass, was also under his command, after he came to the lobby, he was frightened by Liu Zhiyuan's momentum and his legs trembled, where did he dare to dictate to Liu Zhiyuan? Trembling and expounding the will of the light of Jerod.

Liu Zhiyuan didn't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, and he didn't make it too difficult for him, and said euphemistically: "The tripod of Tuyuhun is the treasure of Tuyuhun, although the Tuyuhun people temporarily live in Taiyuan, but their internal affairs Liu is really inconvenient to meddle, and he also personally returned to the map to make the adults go back to the Holy Lord of Yelu." ”

Qiao Rong's words had already been brought, and as for what Liu Zhiyuan did, it was not his concern, so he hurried back to Shangjing to resume his life.

After Qiao Rong arrived in Shangjing, he added fuel and vinegar to say a lot of bad things about Liu Zhiyuan, and said that he didn't take Yelu Deguang in his eyes or something.

Yelu Deguang was furious and ordered Zhao Yanshou to lead an army of 50,000 and vowed to set foot in Taiyuan.

Zhao Yanshou's 50,000-strong army marched south, bypassing Yanmen Pass, and reached Daizhou, where the defenders rose up to resist the enemy. If Daizhou is lost, then the gateway to Taiyuan will be wide open and the barrier will be lost, Liu Zhiyuan, who knows this, personally led 150 million elite soldiers to aid Daizhou, accompanied by Guo Wei and other generals. At this time, Yu Qing's skills had almost recovered, but he still needed to retreat and recuperate, so he did not follow the expedition.

In fact, Zhao Yanshou also had his wishful thinking and was unwilling to start a war with Liu Zhiyuan, so he sent a small group of soldiers to attack Daizhou. In order to preserve his strength, Liu Zhiyuan's colleagues did not want Hedong, which he had worked so hard to manage, to suffer from the war, so he did not want to confront Zhao Yanshou head-on. The two sides fought a few small battles, and Zhao Yanshou sent his henchmen and cronies to Liu Zhiyuan's army to negotiate peace with Liu Zhiyuan, and at the same time persuaded Liu Zhiyuan that there was no need to offend the Khitan for Bai Chengfu. At Zhao Yanshou's suggestion, Liu Zhiyuan agreed to send an envoy to the Khitan.

But Zhao Yanshou did not dare to withdraw the troops immediately, because this would arouse the suspicion of Yelu Deguang, so he ordered to pretend to attack the city for a few days, but after the Khitan soldiers arrived at the city of Daizhou, the generals ordered the soldiers to barbecue and drink under the city, saying that this was the commander's siege plan. However, the defenders of Daizhou were afraid of deception and did not dare to slack off at all.

This was the case for several days. One day, Zhao Yanshou came to the city to "supervise the battle, he let the soldiers attack casually for a while, and the defenders immediately released arrows and killed several soldiers. Zhao Yanshou Mingjin collected his troops and said to the soldiers: "The Jin army in Daizhou is heavily garrisoned, the city is strong, and it cannot be attacked for a long time, in order to reduce the casualties of the soldiers, the commander ordered to withdraw the troops immediately. ”

The Khitan soldiers were also reluctant to fight, and when they heard that the commander had withdrawn his troops, they were naturally very happy. After Zhao Yanshou returned to Shangjing, he lied to Yelu Deguang that Liu Zhiyuan had dispatched 50,000 troops to defend Daizhou, and the city of Daizhou was strong and could not be attacked for a long time.

Yelu Deguang heard that Liu Zhiyuan dispatched 50,000 elite soldiers to aid Daizhou, and he was suspicious.

Zhao Yanshou was afraid of arousing Yelu Deguang's suspicions, and then said: "But although Liu Zhiyuan has 50,000 elite soldiers, he is afraid of the Holy Lord Tianwei and does not dare to go to battle, so he sent an envoy to inform him that he is willing to hand over the Tuyuhun Ding, because the matter is very important, he will send a special envoy in the future to meet the Holy Lord and discuss specific matters." ”

When Yelu Deguang heard this, he was overjoyed and said to Zhao Yanshou: "This time, Zhao Aiqing should be credited, but you tell Liu Zhiyuan that I want him to send the person who killed my Khitan cavalry at Yanmen Pass that day to negotiate peace, otherwise there will be no talks." ”

Zhao Yanshou sent a messenger to convey Yelu Deguang's will to Liu Zhiyuan.

It was at this time that Shi Chonggui was enthroned as the emperor of the Great Jin Dynasty under the support of Jing Yanguang, Feng Dao and other ministers.

Yelude was greatly enraged and turned his focus to Shi Chonggui, relieving Liu Zhiyuan's pressure. However, for the sake of the peace of the people in Hedong, and also to preserve his strength, Liu Zhiyuan still decided to send a special envoy to the Khitan.

Liu Zhiyuan and the ministers and generals discussed the matter of sending envoys, and everyone agreed that sending Yu Qing must be more auspicious and less auspicious, and this must be Yelu Deguang who wants to take the opportunity to take revenge. But Yelu Deguang named and asked Yu Qing to envoy the Khitan, if it was not Yu Qing who went, Yelu Deguang would definitely not give up, so how could it be good? Liu Zhiyuan was in a dilemma.

At this time, Zhao Kuangyan also heard about sending Yu Qing to envoy the Khitan, and he knew that if Yu Qing went to the Khitan base camp, it would be tantamount to a sheep entering the tiger's mouth, and there would be no return. Therefore, in a hurry, he rushed into the meeting hall in a hurry, and shouted loudly: "Lord Liu, you can't send Big Brother Yu to Khitan, you can send someone else!" Brother Yu killed so many Khitans, and the Khitan Emperor would definitely harm him. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Zhao, we are also worried about this matter, but don't worry, I, Liu, must not be the kind of person who forgets his righteousness for profit, and I will definitely not risk Brother Yuqing's life." ”

The generals said: "If Yu Shaoxia doesn't go to the Khitan, then how can Yelu Deguang give up, if he is angry, he really sends his 100,000 iron horsemen south to Taiyuan, then the consequences are unimaginable, please think twice!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brothers, don't worry, Yu Shaoxia, I naturally won't hand him over to Yelu Deguang, but we still have to send the messenger, send someone else, I'm afraid that Yelu Deguang will think that we don't respect him, I think, just send General Shi Hongzhao and the inspector Sikong Liu!" ”

When the generals heard this, they were shocked, and they all said: "My lord must not do it, the inspector must not risk his life, we don't agree!" ”

Shi Hongzhao also said: "The last general has a cheap life, thanks to the love of adults, only today can I have today, I can share the worries of adults, and I will never give up." But how can the body of a trained adult enter the land of tigers and wolves? If you want to go, you can go to the end of the day, and the inspector must not go. ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "I have made up my mind, you don't have to say it!" I forgive that Jerod and don't dare to do that. ”

Liu Chengxun stood up and said: "Dad, my lords, I will definitely live up to my mission, with General Shi with me, I believe that Yelu Deguang will not dare to play any tricks." ”

Liu Zhiyuan nodded. The generals shouted, "My lord! Think again! ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "This matter is settled, step down!" ”

Zhao Kuangyan finally breathed a sigh of relief.

"Wait, I'll go!" A voice came from outside the door.

People followed the prestige, only to see a person walking in from outside the door, it was none other than Yu Qing.

Zhao Kuangyan's relaxed heart tightened again, and said, "Brother Yu, I can't help it!" ”

Yu Qing walked to the center of the hall and said to Liu Zhiyuan: "My lord, then Yelu Deguang asked me to go to the Khitan by name, think about it If it is not me, what will be the result?" It is said that the Khitan has an army of two or three hundred thousand, and our Hedong army is less than 50,000, and the Khitan people are moody. So instead of passively sitting back and waiting, let me act on the opportunity, and perhaps Jerod Light will not deal with me as we expected. ”

When the generals heard this, they all felt that it made sense, but Liu Zhiyuan said: "Having said that, but Brother Yu killed so many Khitan cavalry in the battle of Yanmen Pass, Yelu Deguang will never let you go easily." Brother Yu can afford Liu and can help me, how can I put you in danger? If you go to the Khitan, what are the three longs and two shorts, wouldn't it trap Liu and be unjust? What do the heroes of the world think of me? ”

Liu Zhiyuan's words are indeed heartfelt, now that he is employing people, how can he lose his trust in the heroes of the world?

But Yu Qing said: "The adults look down on me and treat me as a brother, in order to prevent me from getting into danger, but let the training son take risks, what kind of benevolence and righteousness is this?" Besides, I agreed to send an envoy to the Khitan, not entirely to repay the adults, but also to not want the people of the Central Plains to suffer from the war again, but also for the sake of the people of the world. What's more, with General Shi, who is both wise and brave, what is there to worry about? ”

Yu Qing's words left Liu Zhiyuan speechless, he hesitated for a while and said, "But ......"

"Lord Liu, without further ado, don't do it, we'll leave tomorrow morning." Yu Qing interrupted Liu Zhiyuan's words.

Zhao Kuangyan said: "Since this is the case, then I will also go." ”

Yu Qing said: "No, it's a long way to Khitan, and there are dangers, so you can't go." ”

Zhao Kuangyan argued: "Didn't you say that with General Shi, there will be no danger?" Since there is no danger, what does it matter if I go? One more person can also take care of more. ”

Under Zhao Kuangyan's repeated insistence, Yu Qing was stubborn, so he had to agree to let him go with him.

Early the next morning, outside the city of Taiyuan.

The flag covers the sun, the dust and smoke are all over the sky, the cars and horses roar one after another, the sound of the horn is shocking, the three-way army is mighty and drives to the outside of the city, the general headed by the head wears a baby crown, wears a battle armor, carries a sword at the waist, rides a sweaty and bloody BMW, majestic, not angry and self-prestigious. Behind him there are many fierce generals, all of them heroic and cool, and the military appearance is neat. To his right and left were two young men in plain clothes, who were talking about something as they walked slowly, with very serious expressions.

The crowds in the city exchanged their heads and discussed: "Is there another war?" "Hey! It's been two years of peace! "Hey! God bless the festival to make the adults victorious! ”……

The general headed by him was Liu Zhiyuan, the envoy of Taiyuan and Hedong Jiedu, and the men in civilian clothes on both sides of him were Yu Qing and Zhao Kuangyan, and behind Zhao Kuangyan, closely followed by Xiang Boy.

When all three armies had driven out of the city, they all dismounted.

Yu Qing said to Liu Zhiyuan: "Lord Liu, you don't need to mobilize the army so much, we just sent an envoy to the Khitan, so that the people think that there is another war!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Brother Yu, isn't this an unprecedented battle between us and the Khitan? You can sacrifice your life and forget death for the people of Taiyuan, shouldn't I see you off with the gift of going on the expedition? This goes to the Khitan, the evil is more auspicious and less, and the brothers are cheap, even if you have a feud with the Khitan, it doesn't matter, the key is that you have to come back completely, and the eldest brother has to drink with you. ”

Yu Qing held Liu Zhiyuan's hand tightly and said emotionally: "Big brother, the younger brother must live up to his mission on this trip, if you can't let the Khitan stop the army, the little brother will not return to the Central Plains." The younger brother is leaving, take care of the eldest brother. ”

Liu Zhiyuan burst into tears and said, "Brother Xian, take care, the eldest brother can only be sent here!" He said to Shi Hongzhao next to him: "General Shi, this is a dangerous road to Khitan, you must protect your brothers." ”

Shi Hongzhao said: "Please rest assured, the last general will definitely do his best to protect the safety of Brother Yu." ”

Liu Zhiyuan brought his own mount sweat and blood BMW again, touched the horse's head and said to Qing: "This sweat and blood BMW was given to me by Sanniang when I left Yuci, it accompanied me in the east and west, and never left me, every time I see him, I will think of Sanniang." It can travel thousands of miles a day, and it has saved me many times in critical moments. Today, I give him to you, and you have to treat him well. ”

Yu Qing said: "Big brother, don't do it, this bloody BMW, you better stay!" ”

Liu Zhiyuan said: "Don't shirk, I hope you and it can come back safely." ”

Yu Qing saw that Liu Zhiyuan's tone was firm, and he seemed hypocritical in his resignation, so he said: "That little brother is better to be respectful than to obey his fate, I will definitely protect it well and let it come back unscathed." ”

There was another sound of horns, and Yu Qing said, "Big brother, I'm leaving!" ”

The generals waved goodbye, and Yu Qing and his party galloped north.
