Chapter 604: Returning to Youzhou

Leaving Shu Luping's camp, Li Fengyun asked, "Xiao Guoshi, where are we going?"

"Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures!" Xiao Qirui did not hide it.

Li Fengyunqi said: "What are you going to do in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun?"

Xiao Qirui glanced at Li Fengyun and said, "If it were you, where would you imprison Yelu Honggu?"

Li Fengyun thought about it, most of the grassland tribes live from grass to grass, constantly migrating, and it is not easy to hide a person from being discovered, especially a character like Yelu Honggu, after a long time, it will be discovered sooner or later.

The sixteen states of Yanyun are different, the sixteen states of Yanyun are mainly Han people, the Han people are mainly agricultural, and they will not move easily, if Yelu Honggu is imprisoned in a secret place, and the surrounding is guarded by henchmen, as long as the people selected are appropriate, the possibility of leaking out is very small.

Moreover, in the sixteen states of Yanyun, the Liao people controlled the Han people very tightly. Ordinary Han Chinese were not allowed to move around without the road rules issued by the gentry for the Baohe government, and they were relatively closed, which was conducive to blocking news.

Thinking of this, Li Fengyun slapped his head and said with a smile: "The national teacher's insight is really extraordinary, let's go to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun." ”

The Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun were originally the fiefdoms of Zhao Yanshou, but now they are completely in the hands of the Khitans. At the beginning, Zhao Yanshou followed Yelu Deguang to the south to conquer the Later Jin Dynasty, and made a lot of meritorious contributions, originally wanted to take the Central Plains, imitating Shi Jingjiao, and was canonized as the emperor of the Central Plains by Yelu Deguang. Jerod Light also made such a promise to him.

Who would have expected that after nearly four years of war, Yelu Deguang attacked the Central Plains three times, and finally broke the 300,000 elite soldiers of the Central Plains led by Du Chongwei and Li Shouzhen in one fell swoop, captured Kaifeng, the capital of the Jin Kingdom, and leveled the Central Plains, but Yelu Deguang repented and did not canonize the Central Plains Emperor to the meritorious Zhao Yanshou, but became the Central Plains Emperor himself, and changed the country name to "Liao". According to the Central Plains, he does not plan to set up a new monarch.

This made Zhao Yanshou very disappointed and very dissatisfied, he had tried Yelu Deguang, trying to get the crown prince of the Central Plains Emperor. However, Yelu Deguang was proud at that time, and he didn't want to give the Central Plains that he had finally conquered to others, so he vetoed it.

In order to appease Zhao Yanshou, Yelu Deguang crowned him as the left-behind guard and prime minister of Zhongjing.

However, Yelu Deguang did not expect that after the destruction of the Later Jin Dynasty, the princes of the Quartet flocked to rise, and the rebel armies from all walks of life in the Central Plains also rose up one after another, and they had become a force that burned the prairie for a while. And the 300,000 soldiers and horses he transferred to the Central Plains were unable to fight because of the problem of grain and grass, and suffered heavy losses.

In desperation, Yelu Deguang had no choice but to announce his return to the north, and Xiao Han established Li Congyi, the relict of the Tang Dynasty, as the emperor.

Yelu Deguang led 300,000 Liao soldiers to retreat north and was assassinated, and Xiao Han led his troops to leave Bian Liang after learning the news. As soon as the power was handed over to Zhao Yanshou, Zhao Yanshou took advantage of Xiao Han's departure, under the banner of Yelu Deguang, and appointed himself as the right to know the military and state affairs of the Southern Dynasties, which was regarded as the supreme commander at that time. Zhao Yanshou's abacus played well, he planned to clean up the remnants of the southern country, and fought to the death with Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong, and if he won, he would have the throne of the Central Plains at his fingertips, and if he failed, he would just flee back to the north.

Who would have expected that after Liu Zhiyuan in Hedong learned the news of Yelu Deguang's death, he waved his army south, and the soldiers and horses of the princes of the Central Plains had their hearts in their hearts, and they did not listen to Zhao Yanshou's command at all, and took refuge in Liu Zhiyuan one after another. Zhao Yanshou had no choice but to flee north.

After Yelu Deguang's death, 300,000 Liao soldiers fell apart, and Yelu Ruan seized the opportunity to ascend the throne in Zhenyang City and became emperor. After Yelu Ruan became emperor, he was very disgusted with Zhao Yanshou's betrayal, and was provoked by Li Fengyun, so he took Zhao Yanshou.

And since Zhao Yanshou went south with Yelu Deguang, the power of the sixteen states of Yanyun has been handed over to Yelu Anduan and Yelu Liuge. A few days ago, Yelu Ruan and Shu Luping reached a reconciliation, and Yelu Anduan led his troops to retreat south, and now, the sixteen states of Yanyun are actually still managed by Yelu Anduan.

Xiao Qirui briefly explained to Li Fengyun the current situation in the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun, and Li Fengyun understood that Yelu Ruan was very likely to take the opportunity of Yelu Anduan to lead his troops back to the south, and let Yelu Anduan escort Yelu Honggu to the Sixteen Prefectures of Yanyun.

When Yelu Ruan raised his army, Yelu Anduan was the first person to receive Yelu Ruan. If it weren't for Yelu Anduan who sacrificed the sixteen states of Yanyun to Yelu Ruan, Ye Lu Ruan wanted to go to Beijing on the Northern Expedition, which is simply nonsense. I'm afraid that now, Yelu Ruan is still staying in the land of Zhenyang, waiting for Shu Luping's army to attack him.

Later, Yelu Anduan asked for orders to be the vanguard, and with the help of Li Fengyun, he defeated Yelu Honggu in Taidequan with the weak, and achieved a crucial victory, which shocked Yelu Ruan's prestige and gave him the capital to fight a decisive battle with Shuluping. For Yelu Ruan, Yelu Anduan can be described as a great achievement. Moreover, Shu Luping probably hated Yelu Anduan to the core, and it is not surprising that Yelu Honggu was handed over to Yelu Anduan to take care of.

Thinking of this, Li Fengyun asked, "Xiao Guoshi, what are you going to do?"

Xiao Qirui replied: "Let's go to Youzhou first, this seat has already sent people to Yanyun Sixteen Prefectures to investigate, and I believe that it will not be long before there will be results." ”

Xiao Qirui has served as the Khitan national teacher for decades, and his henchmen are all over the government and the opposition, although he is now wanted by Yelu Ruan, but who dares to really take him, with the prestige and influence of these decades, it is not a problem to find out some news that ordinary people do not know. If even Xiao Qirui can't find out any news about Yelu Honggu, then let alone think about the little people that Li Fengyun has arranged in the Liao State.

The four of them were not in a hurry to leave, and while avoiding the search of Yelu Ruan, they slowly traveled south, and a month later, they finally came to Youzhou City.

When they came to Youzhou, Xiao Qirui had already made arrangements, and the four of them lived in the courtyard of an official of the Ministry of War. The courtyard here was originally a contact point secretly arranged by Xiao Qirui, located five miles outside Youzhou City, and it did not attract attention.

After living in another hospital, Xiao Qirui often went out. However, there are still two first-class masters and four second-rate masters hidden in the annex. Li Fengyun and the others' every move is still under Xiao Qirui's surveillance.

Li Fengyun was happy to be quiet, but he didn't want to expose the people he had arranged in Youzhou, so he simply didn't contact the secret agents arranged in Youzhou. Hiding in the courtyard all day long to practice martial arts. Unexpectedly, martial arts unconsciously took another big step.

Li Fengyun guessed that his current strength might be enough to be comparable to Bai Futong at the beginning.

After more than ten days, Xiao Qirui sent someone to invite Li Fengyun to the study to talk about it, Li Fengyun guessed that most of them had Yelu Honggu's whereabouts, and hurriedly invited Qi Gongsun Wuwu and Su Yunong to come to the study together.
