Du Chongwei smiled bitterly a few times, and said: "How can it be so simple, if that is the case, how dare the Khitan use the power of the country to enter my Central Plains?"

Others don't say it, just say that the Hedong Jiedu envoy, the northern camp is the deputy envoy Liu Zhiyuan and Liu Shuai, although he didn't speak in this military discussion, but several Jiedu envoys who were closer to him have spoken, and their opinions are all the main retreat.

Since they said so, it shows that Liu Zhiyuan's opinion is also the main rejection. Liu Shuai and Ben Shuai have the grace to save each other, how can Ben Shuai not listen to his opinion?"

Li Fengyunqi said: "Why does Liu Shuai want to retreat?"

Du Chongwei sighed and said: "Fengyun Xian nephew, you see that the problem is still too shallow, the old man will talk to you!"

Fengyun, you said that in this battle between the Central Plains and the Khitan, Liu Shuai or Ben Shuai, who has made greater contributions?"

"Naturally, it's Liu Shuai!" Li Fengyun replied.

Du Chongwei nodded, and asked again: "In terms of prestige, strength, and the size and importance of controlling the territory, which one is stronger, Liu Shuai or Ben Shuai?"

Li Fengyun thought for a moment and replied, "It's also Liu Shuai!"

Du Chongwei asked again: "In terms of the relationship with His Majesty, which is closer to Liu Shuai or Ben Shuai?"

This Li Fengyun didn't know, so he had to shake his head.

Du Chongwei laughed and said, "I almost forgot, you are not familiar with the affairs of the court." The old man told you that Liu Shuai was the sister-in-law of the first emperor, and he followed the first emperor a long time ago, was loyal, and was the confidant of the first emperor, otherwise he would not entrust him with the heavy land of Hedong. In terms of relationship, he is much closer than Ben Shuai!

In that case, why did the position of the envoy in the northern camp be handed over to Ben Shuai but not to him this time?"

Li Fengyun had never thought about this problem, and after Du Chongwei mentioned it, he also felt very strange, thought for a while, and replied: "Maybe the emperor thinks that Du Shuai's ability is above Liu Shuai!"

Du Chongwei laughed and said: "How can there be such a thing? It is the saint who is suspicious of Liu Shuai!"

Li Fengyunqi said: "But the emperor is Liu Shuai's nephew, how can he be jealous of Liu Shuai?"

"Nephew, it's a nephew!" Du Chongwei said, "The first emperor is also the son-in-law of Emperor Mingzong of the Later Tang Dynasty, and the late Emperor of the Later Tang Dynasty is also a brother-in-law, isn't Li Congke the same suspicious of him, and finally forced the first emperor to raise troops to protect himself?"

It was about the first emperor of this dynasty, Du Chongwei said very vaguely, but Li Fengyun understood what he meant.

Shi Jingjiao is Li Congke's godbrother-in-law, but when he takes over the country, Shi Jingjiao is more ruthless than anyone else. Not to mention the rebellion, borrowing Khitan soldiers, ceding the sixteen states of Yanyun, and claiming that the ministers recognized their godfathers, it can be said that they did everything. You must know that the Khitan and the Later Tang Dynasty at that time were feuding and hostile to each other.

Li Fengyun felt a chill in his heart, and asked: "What does Du Shuai mean is that the emperor appointed Du Shuai as the envoy of the northern camp to suppress Liu Shuai?"

"It's not just suppression!" Du Chongwei nodded, "And if you want to provoke a contradiction between Ben Shuai and Liu Shuai, and use Ben Shuai to check and balance Liu Shuai, it is best for Ben Shuai and Liu Shuai to turn against each other." This point is clear to Ben Shuai, and Liu Shuai is also clear! The old man shouldn't have said these words, but the old man treated you as his own nephew, so he analyzed it for you. You know it in your heart, don't talk about it to outsiders. ”

A chill rose in Li Fengyun's heart, and he said secretly: "It turns out that there are still these calculations, but I never thought about it. The Khitan Tartars have not yet been expelled from the Central Plains, but they are calculating with each other, what is this? No wonder the Jin State cannot defeat the Khitan.

Wait, the old man said that he treats me as his own nephew, isn't he a son-in-law?"

However, at this time of crisis, how could the old man fall out with Liu Shuai? Therefore, the old man must listen to Liu Shuai's opinion. Du Chongwei then explained, "And why Liu Zhiyuan chose to retreat, the old man can also figure it out." ”

"Why?" Li Fengyun's curiosity rose again.

"It's nothing more than raising the Kou's self-respect!" Du Chongwei said with a smile, "If this battle defeats the Khitan army, or even cripples the Khitan, who will benefit? And the Great Jin Dynasty has no worries about external troubles, at least for a few years, so what is the Holy One to do?"

Li Fengyun shook his head, when it came to this, he didn't understand it at all.

"It's to cut the feudal domain and relieve the trouble of the henchmen!

And who is the first person to deal with in the cutting of the domain? Naturally, it was Liu Zhiyuan.

Liu Zhiyuan's soldiers are full of fine food, holding 70,000 heavy soldiers, controlling the land of Longxing in Hedong, with high prestige and high merit, and no reward can be rewarded, such a powerful minister, how can the saint rest assured?

The birds are gone, the good bow is hidden, the cunning rabbit is dead, and the lackeys are cooked. This is the Emperor's Mind Technique.

There is only one way for a person like Liu Zhiyuan, and that is to kill. ”

A cold light appeared in Du Chongwei's eyes.

Li Fengyun gasped, was that little emperor in Kaifeng really so vicious? Faintly, Li Fengyun believed Du Chongwei Jiucheng. Li Fengyun, who grew up in Qingping Town since he was a child, how could he not know the viciousness of people's hearts?

"Ben Shuai can think of this, how can Liu Shuai and Liu Zhiyuan not think of it? Therefore, in Liu Shuai's heart, he didn't want to beat the Khitans too hard, so that Yelude could retreat in the light of the difficulty.

In this way, the threat of the Khitan is still there, and the saint does not dare to do anything to him. If he is pushed to be in a hurry, who can guarantee that he will not be another emperor?

This is Liu Guangyuan's self-respecting strategy. ”

Li Fengyun already believed it in his heart, and sighed secretly, if the people's hearts are like this, how can the Central Plains have any hope of victory? Even if Yelude's Guangnan expedition fails this time, there will always be a next time, a next time, and a next time. In the long run, there will be a day when the Central Plains will be unpreventable.

Is this the meat-eater above the temple? No wonder it is said that meat-eaters despise them, and they have no thought about the common people below them except themselves!

Suddenly, Li Fengyun thought of another thing.

Liu Zhiyuan thought like this, could it be that he, the old man, was clean in his heart? Du Chongwei's desire to ascend the throne and be the emperor was already known to Li Fengyun. Liu Zhiyuan has been eliminated, who should be next? Don't think about it, it must be his quasi-father-in-law.

Therefore, Du Chongwei didn't want to fall out with Liu Zhiyuan, they are now simply grasshoppers on a rope. Liu Zhiyuan had the intention of raising his own respect, but why didn't Du Chongwei? Liu Zhiyuan did not want to hit the Khitans hard, and Du Chongwei also did not want to hurt the Khitans.

Such a person served as the envoy of the main and deputy northern camps, and Li Fengyun was pessimistic about the fate of the Central Plains and had little confidence.

Thinking a little further, why did Du Chongwei say this to him? Did he really regard him as his own nephew and wanted to nudge him? Li Fengyun was not so naïve.

Du Chongwei thought about it, I am afraid that he wanted to provoke the relationship between Li Fengyun and Liu Zhiyuan, and tied him to his boat. Among them, it is also possible that he wants to provoke the relationship between Li Fengyun and the little emperor in Kaifeng.

And the little emperor in Kaifeng rewarded Li Fengyun again, not necessarily because he really appreciated his talent, but more likely to separate Du Chongwei's forces.

People's hearts really can't stand up to analysis.

Li Fengyun felt a sense of emptiness, he didn't know who he was fighting for and why, everything he had done before seemed meaningless.
