Chapter 2 (6)

At the same time that Guo Wei played the banner of "Qing Jun's side" to kill Ben Bianliang, in order to avoid Liu Chong's elbow, he once sent an envoy to Liu Chong to express his stance that after the matter was completed, Liu Chong's eldest son Liu Yun would be elected as the emperor. Liu Chong believed this, and really did not send a single soldier to his nephew Liu Chengyou to help. And after hearing that Guo Wei had taken Bianliang, he immediately let his eldest son embark on the trip.

As a result, Liu Yun's journey to Bianliang was only halfway through, and Guo Wei was on his way out to resist the Khitan invasion, when he was suddenly put on the imperial robe by the generals under his command, and "had to" become the emperor himself. Immediately, Liu Yun was demoted to the Duke of Xiangyin by the Empress Dowager Li, who "understood the righteousness", and then died in a daze shortly after Liu Chong was "angry" and established himself as the emperor.

In the eyes of outsiders, although Guo Wei went back on his word, first pushed Liu Yun to be the emperor, and then ascended the throne himself, he really had some "forced helplessness" factors. After all, the yellow robe has been draped on his body, and if he continues to be "polite", not only will Guo Wei himself be in a different place in the future, but the brothers under his command will inevitably be liquidated by the new emperor, and they will all die without a place to be buried.

However, in the eyes of insiders such as Yelu Ruan and Yelu Wuzhen, who had personally participated in the battle for the throne of Da Liao, the so-called "yellow robe plus body" was nothing more than a conspiracy secretly manipulated by Guo Wei himself. Extremely clumsy, flawed from head to toe.

First of all, the main Khitan force that was going south at that time had been defeated by Zheng Renzhi, Guo Rong and Zheng Ziming and others, and the Youzhou army that was traveling with them also retreated north in a panic, and could no longer pose any threat to the Central Plains.

Secondly, Guo Wei was sent to the throne in Lanzhou on the front foot, and his fierce general Guo Chongwei immediately rushed to Songzhou. "Protecting" Liu Yun, who was dreaming of the emperor, was too fast, and the time was too coincidental.

Third, Guo Wei is a good general from a hundred battles, and Liu Chengyou and Liu Yun are both weak brothers, and the difference between Guo Wei's figure is not ordinary. However, on the way to the army, the soldiers under Guo Wei's command were able to find an imperial robe "casually" and put it on Guo Wei's body, which was not big or small, and it was not bad at all......

Therefore, for Guo Wei's "yellow robe and body", Yelu Ruan and Yelu Wu have always scoffed. If someone can also be "forced on" a yellow robe in the future, and give Guo Wei a way to govern others in his own way, Yelu Ruan and Yelu Wu will definitely wake up from their dreams with laughter. And at present, in their opinion, the most likely person to become this person is probably Zheng Ziming!

First of all, Zheng Ziming made great achievements, and he was as popular as Guo Wei back then. Secondly, Zheng Ziming's bloodline is "noble" enough, and he is far away. Thirdly, since ancient times, there has been no shortage of poisoners in the Central Plains who have pursued the establishment of "dragon skills", and once they can show the opportunity from Zheng Ziming, they will be like wild dogs that smell blood......

"The minister heard that Guo Wei was able to successfully ascend to the throne this time, and his henchman Wang Jun made great contributions. "I always like to plan and then act, and Yelu muttered for a moment, and then spoke quietly.

Wang Jun has always advised Guo Wei to take strict precautions against Zheng Ziming, but he has been repeatedly blocked by Guo Wei's righteous son Guo Rong. Now Guo Rong and Zheng Ziming are both in Hebei, and Wang Jun has just been appointed as a privy envoy, and he is also in charge of the Zhongshu Sect Pingzhangshi, and the power is tilted towards the government and the opposition...... "Yelu Ruan is definitely a genius in playing conspiracies and tricks, and he immediately followed Yelu's reminder to draw inferences.

"Although Zheng Ziming's current military achievements are impressive, compared to Wang Jun's merits, he is a little smaller after all!" Seeing that Yelu Ruan was so close to him, Yelu was greatly encouraged, and immediately began to draw the second trap in a low voice.

"Well, the qualifications and prestige are indeed a little worse! Even if it is discarded by Guo Wei, the blow to the morale of the puppet Zhou's military spirit is not big enough. Yelu Ruan thought for a moment and nodded tacitly, "In this way, you go and send someone to force Shi Chonggui to write a letter to him first." I will find a way to let Zheng Ziming make some more miraculous achievements, preferably the kind that will be decided in Hebei by the First World War. ”

"I'm afraid that Liu Chong will not will. Yelu frowned and muttered. "He, he's ...... after all"

Zheng Ziming, Guo Rong, Zhao Kuangyin and others, although Yang Chonggui suffered a lot of losses a while ago. But after all, Yang Chonggui is a veteran who has been famous for many years, and his martial arts, experience, strategy and prestige are not under Zheng Ziming and his brothers. So now on the battlefield in Hebei, although the Zhou army has a certain upper hand, it is still too early to say that it can have an absolute chance of victory. What's more, Yang Chonggui, Zhang Yuanheng and Hu Yancong were completely driven back to Hedong!

And if the Liao State wanted to increase Zheng Ziming's prestige and merit without losing any of its own interests, the only way was to let the Northern Han make sacrifices. It's just that although Liu Chong took the initiative to claim himself a vassal to the Liao State, he was not a puppet completely. It is impossible to obey the "orders" from the suzerain, knowing that losing their own troops will cause them to lose their own troops.

"His position as Emperor Shenwu of the Han Dynasty was canonized by my decree, and he took the initiative to recognize me as his uncle many times. If I want him to fight a defeated battle and he refuses, what's the use of me keeping him as an old nephew?" Before Yelu could figure out what benefits to exchange with Liu Chong, Yelu Ruan was already furious, and punched the tent again, shouting loudly.

Yelu was frightened, and hurriedly waved his hand vigorously, "Your Majesty, Your Majesty, you can't say that." Although Liu Chong is a 'nephew emperor', he is also the king of a country. In front of the ministers, he has to hold up the appearance of an emperor to some extent! Your Majesty, Your Majesty directly asked him to defeat and defeat others, and he, he will definitely not be able to obey the edict. And once the news leaks, Guo Wei will immediately take precautions. The next divisive plan will be greatly reduced. So, so ......"

"What's the solution, you hurry up. Don't beat around the bush! I know you have a way. Realizing that his previous idea was a bit ransome, Yelu Ruan waved his hand impatiently.

"Rong Chen, Rong Chen will consider it again, consider one or two. Yelu smiled helplessly, then lowered his head and counted the gold bricks on the ground to scrape his stomach.

He was worthy of being the first adviser of the Great Liao Kingdom, and after only using a small half-pillar of incense, he stroked his palms excitedly and laughed, "Yes, Your Majesty, Your Majesty forced Liu Chong to defeat the battle, and he will definitely not obey the edict." But Your Majesty can do the opposite!"

"How do you do the opposite?" Yelu Ruan's train of thought was a little out of rhythm, and he was stunned and hesitated to ask.

"Your Majesty sent someone to reprimand him, asking him why he took so many horses, grain, grass, and baggage from my Great Liao Kingdom, but still suffered repeated defeats? If the soldiers and horses under his command no longer have any eye-catching performance, then don't blame me for abandoning Da Liao. The grain, grass, baggage, and horses of my Daliao cannot be consumed forever on a group of wastes that can't be lifted up!"

Note 1: Guo Chongwei, a fierce general under Guo Wei. Later, in order to avoid secrecy, he changed his name to Guo Chong. He was ordered by Wang Jun to kidnap Liu Yun. Then he was poisoned (one said he died of fright). After Zhao Kuangyin's Chen Qiao mutiny, Guo Chong wept because he missed Guo Wei and Chai Rong, and was revealed.
