"Your Majesty, your soldiers are truly divine! In less than half a month, we captured Youzhou, which is the victory we have been looking forward to for a long time! Ha ha. Zhao Kuangyin said to Chai Rong with a celebration wine.

Chai Rong also said proudly: "When we and the soldiers recapture all the sixteen states of Yanyun and drive all the Khitans back to their lair, we will celebrate the whole country." ”

"Yes. Your Majesty Shengming. Your Majesty is wise......"

After the banquet dispersed, Zhao Kuangyin was left behind, "Your Majesty, the minister thinks that we should divide our troops into two routes, go all the way to Jizhou, and then go north to take Tan, Shun, and Fuzhou; The other way directly takes Zhuo and Xinzhou, and will meet the troops under the city of Yanzhou. At the same time, he sent people to repair the treaty with the Northern Han Dynasty and attribute the five states of Shuo, Ying, Wei, Huan, and Yun to them, so as to prevent the Liao State from dividing us. There is also a letter to Tang, Shu and other countries, telling them that our Great Zhou is driving out the barbarians, if anyone dares to send troops to attack me at this time, they will be Han thieves, and they will be scolded by the world, and after our army destroys the barbarians, we must return to the division to destroy them. ”

"Haha, it's not my tiger general, brave and strategic, this plan is very good."

"Your Majesty, the minister wants to know who the messenger is!"

"Rakusan."

"Rakusan! I've never heard of it! ”

"I haven't heard of it at first, but then I found someone to investigate, this person turned out to be the guardian of Xiao Siwen left behind in Nanjing, Liao, and was sent to deliver a letter to Yelu Gangsage, the Taiping King of Liao, who was still on the border of Kedun City, and he survived nine times out of ten, and after returning with the Taiping King, he was appointed to stay in Nanjing because of Xiao Siwen's assassination."

"Ahh Isn't that Jerod Leshan! Wasn't he burned to death? ”

"Originally, I thought it wasn't him, but our Liao State military map is indeed true, and our invasion of Youzhou this time is precisely to use the secret passage of the Tanzhe Temple built by Yelu Leshan to enter Youzhou City, so I have to believe that he is not dead, and he is a meticulous worker! I didn't expect that! was able to be the vice king of the Southern Academy. It's a pity, and I don't know why I cheated to death! ”

"Your Majesty, if this person was really not burned to death, then combined with his actions to stay in Youzhou, it reminded Weichen of a person."

"Who?"

"Yule."

"He, didn't he die in Shu ......" Before the words were finished, Chai Rong remembered that Yu Le was also burned to death in Shu, not to mention, it was really the same!

"Haha, if you have a chance to meet this young man, what a genius! In the Tang Kingdom, he achieved three products and horses; In the foreign court of Liao, he is also a member of the official residence and the third grade, and I am also convinced, and I am only better than me! ”

"Your Majesty, this son is very smart, and his strategy is also the best, the minister will send someone to inquire about this person's news, and report it to Your Majesty as soon as there is news."

"Send someone to keep an eye on Lushan, he will definitely go home, if you find him home, ask him, I must meet the first disciple of the immortal who cheated to death twice."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Send someone to secretly send some rewards to his family, such heroes, no matter which country, are all descendants of Yan and Huang!"

"Yes, Your Majesty."

"Let's just say that it was the result of Le San's exploits! His exploits are enough to go down in history! Chai Rong has some admiration for this colt, except for governing the country, he is really not as good as this young man in his twenties. has the courage and courage to enter the tiger's den alone, and both of them retreated with their whole body, no wonder Li Jing has not decided on the prince, is he waiting for him! It's not good, if this person becomes the king of the Tang Kingdom, isn't it a strong enemy! Chai Rong thought of this, and the joy on his face swept away.

"Zhao Qing, you must send someone to find out Yu Le's whereabouts, you can't let him return to Tang Kingdom, you must bring him to see me."

Zhao Kuangyin felt the change in Chai Rong, although he hadn't figured out what was going on, but he also knew the importance of this matter.

"Yes, Your Majesty."

Three days later, in the Han Palace in the north of Taiyuan City, Liu Jun was discussing with Guo Wuwei the next strategy of the Han Kingdom.

"Your Majesty, now that Zhou and Liao have sent letters and envoys are on the way, we have to make a perfect plan!"

"What does Guo Xiang think?"

"Your Majesty, the minister thinks that it is best to continue to unite with Zhou, and the Liao State sent people to come at this time and bring heavy gifts, but he just wants to appease us, he can draw troops to fight against Zhou, if they win the Zhou army, they will definitely seek revenge on us, they are aliens!"

"However, if Zhou wins the Liao Kingdom, can you guarantee that Zhou will not attack us?"

"Your Majesty, so the minister thinks that we should make a covenant with Zhou to ensure that he will not be our enemy for a certain period of time, and we will work with him to defend against the Khitan thieves."

"Alas, that's the only way to do it now. Guo Xiang, didn't Chai Rong give it to our five states, let's be generous, Ulzhou doesn't want it, give it to them. ”

"This, Your Majesty."

"Tell Jiye Wu'er that you can capture Yunzhou, if there is a strategic place in the outer city to attack it."

"Yes, Your Majesty."

In the palace of the Tang Kingdom in Jinling City, the monarchs and ministers were also fiercely arguing.

"Father, the son is willing to personally lead the troops to Jiangbei, fight a decisive battle with the Zhou army, and recapture the lost land in Jiangbei." The bold words of Li Congshan, the king of Zheng, did not impress the emperor Li Jing, but moved the ministers who wholeheartedly supported his ascendancy, so the sound of whiskers, horses, and licking dogs was heard in the ears, and the dogs barked endlessly.

Li Jing frowned and asked, "Since King Zheng is willing to go in person, then go, right?" As soon as Li Jing's words were finished, there was silence below, and all the ministers looked at His Majesty the Emperor in surprise, this, such a decision, there is no need to discuss!

"That, this, father, son, ......"

"You said that you, all of you are dead-headed, there is no good thing, Li Congshan, let me ask you, you want to lead the troops to the battle, do you have a plan, how many soldiers, how many generals, how many baggage, how long will it take, from where to send the troops, and where will you fight?"

"Father, the sons are not a momentary anger, the sons have already planned, but they are not very mature, and they still want to listen to the opinions of the audience, as long as the troops are dispatched, the sons must take the lead!" Li Congshan replied to Li Jing's words in a righteous and awe-inspiring manner, in fact, farting is equivalent to not answering, there is a plan for fart! began to fool his own father.

Li Jing is not in the mood to fight with the courtiers now! Because Yu Le sent a letter, suggesting that Li Jing must not take this opportunity to send troops to attack Zhou, the consequence of this will be discredited to the Han people in the world even if he regains the lost land, because the battle of Zhou and Liao at this time is not a brotherly dispute of the Han people, but a racial battle related to the life and death of the nation.

Li Jing also hesitated again and again, knowing what righteousness and festival are. Yu Le also suggested that Li Jing provide strategic materials for the Zhou State, which could ease the contradictions between the two countries and gain more respite for the Tang State. Li Jing somewhat agreed with this proposal, in fact, as far as the current situation is concerned, even if Tang sends troops, he may not win, because the main force of the Zhou army on the opposite side is still there, which is also one of the reasons why Chai Rong dared to attack Liao, and did not attack Liao with all his strength, this is also what Yu Le saw, if Chai Rong unified China, then Chai Rong may destroy Liao in this battle, but unfortunately time is running out! So it would be nice to be able to recapture the sixteen states of Yanyun.

After Li Jing hesitated for a few days, he received the letter of state from Zhou State, and as soon as he saw the content, he knew that what Yu Le said was right, so he made up his mind to send half of Tang State's military resources to Zhou State, and attached a letter of state, indicating his attitude to Chai Rong, that is, to support Zhou State's righteous act, and will support it to the end.

After Shu heard about what Tang had done, he also sent supplies. So the divided five dynasties and ten kingdoms joined forces to attack Liao for the first time.
