Chapter Ninety-Nine: Feelings for the Homeland

Du Chongwei guessed that everyone was suspicious, and said with a smile: "The old man won't sell it." Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info Now, I will introduce you to a person, and after you meet him, you will naturally understand. After speaking, Du Chongwei called out to the inner room, and someone inside immediately agreed.

The man slowly came out of the back room. Everyone looked at it and felt that this person seemed familiar, and when they looked at themselves, they all exclaimed: "You are Liu Yanzuo?"

The man nodded to the generals, and said, "Generals, it's been a long time. Under is Liu Yanzuo, the assassin of Yingzhou. ”

As soon as these words came out, those generals immediately made an uproar. Liu Yanzuo is the assassin of the Khitan, and he is the enemy on the battlefield. At this time, a general immediately pulled out the big knife in his hand and swung it at Liu Yanzuo. Liu Yanzuo was shocked and hurriedly hid behind Du Chongwei.

As soon as the man arrived in front of Du Chongwei, he yelled: "Wang Qing, what are you doing?"

That general was none other than Du Chongwei's favorite general, Wang Qing. Wang Qing's face was full of puzzlement, and he raised his knife and asked: "My lord, this person is an enemy, and it is rare for him to fall into the net today, so he must not be let go." Otherwise, let the tiger return to the mountain, and the legacy will be endless!"

Du Chongwei held his knife with his hand, and with a strong shock, the big knife fell off his hand and fell to the floor. Everyone was taken aback, and they all admired the profound skills of the captain. Du Chongwei let go of his hand and said angrily: "Whether to let the tiger return to the mountain, or throw stones to ask for directions, the old man naturally knows, why do you bother to make trouble!"

Seeing this, Wang Qing hurriedly knelt down and said, "The subordinates are ignorant, and ask Lord Taiwei to surrender their crimes!" The two generals, who were usually good friends with Wang Qing, were worried that he would be punished, and they also knelt down to beg for mercy for him.

Du Chongwei motioned for everyone to get up and said, "Han Zhang, Yanyun, you and I are both experienced people in a hundred battles, how can we not know the truth that soldiers are not tired of deceit. "Liang Hanzhang and Song Yanyun are both generals who defend one side, and this time they came to Hengzhou to defend the Khitan together, how could Du Chongwei not give them face.

Liu Yanzuo saw that everyone's hatred was still gone, stepped forward, pulled out the long sword at his waist, and said eloquently: "Lord Taiwei, generals, Yanzuo has come this time, and he has no dissent, if he violates this word, he is willing to die with the long sword piercing his heart." With that, he put his sword on the plank and looked at the people in the room.

Those generals listened to Liu Yanzuo's words and were suspicious. Du Chongwei laughed and said, "Liu Tingshi, you are serious. These generals under my command have no eyes and have offended you, and the old man has made amends for you on their behalf. After speaking, he was about to bow forward and apologize, Liu Yanzuo hurriedly held his hand and said, "Lord Taiwei, what is this doing? Du Chongwei stiffened up reluctantly, a satisfied smile on his face.

Liu Yanzuo walked in front of everyone and said humbly: "Xiaguan is just a small assassination, in front of the generals, it is really insignificant. It is not surprising that General Wang has just stabbed at me. Please think about it, the Jin State and the Khitan have been at loggerheads for several years, and over the years, the people of the two countries have suffered countless casualties. Xia Guan was originally a Han Chinese, how could he watch the Central Plains Soul suffer. The reason why Xia Guan came this time was to promote a major event that would benefit the future. He said this, pausing deliberately, just to see how the people in the room reacted.

Except for Du Chongwei, the rest of the generals were confused, and they didn't know what tricks this Khitan assassin was playing. A few days ago, they were still confronting the Khitan army in Hengzhou City. Now, this Khitan Yingzhou Thorn History has entered the city and talked eloquently in front of everyone.

Liu Yanzuo smiled slightly, stroked the beard under his chin with his hand, and then said: "Generals, the lower officials have the same root and origin as you, how can they be willing to be enslaved by the Khitans. The reason why Xia Guan still sits in the position of Yingzhou Assassin is that he wants to do his part to protect the people of Yingzhou to the greatest extent. The sixteen states of Yanyun, except for Yingzhou, are all Khitan people who do thorn history, and you all know what kind of life the people live there. In Yingzhou, however, there were very few items of exorbitant taxes and miscellaneous taxes, and forced conscription of soldiers rarely occurred. ”

Some of those generals sneered and said, "It seems that it is all the credit of your Liu Tingshi." ”

Liu Yanzuo wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand, and said in a low voice: "The lower officials dare not be, the lower officials dare not be! The lower officials are just the blessings of the privy envoy Lord Zhao." All the generals were shocked and whispered in their voices.

The Lord Zhao in Liu Yanzuo's mouth is the same Zhao Yanshou mentioned by Lu Wanli before. He was originally Tang Mingzong's concubine, and his wife was Princess Xingtian. Zhao Yanshou was an official in the Later Tang Dynasty to the privy envoy, and he was highly valued by Li Siyuan. After Li Siyuan's death, Zhao Yanshou served as the envoy of Xuanwu and Zhongwu towns. When the Later Tang Dynasty destroyed the country, Zhao Yanshou was defeated in Jiedu and captured by the Khitan army. Yelude loved his talent and couldn't bear to take his life, so he soon awarded the Khitan Youzhou Festival envoy. Zhao Yanshou was dedicated to his duties, and soon got the approval of Yelu Deguang, and still appointed him as the privy envoy of the Khitan. After Zhao Yanshouguan was reinstated, he thought that the Later Tang Dynasty was destroyed by the Jin Kingdom, and he was melancholy in his heart, and he was determined to avenge his father-in-law's family.

Later, the Jin Kingdom and the Khitan turned against each other, and Zhao Yanshou led troops south several times. Most of the generals under Du Chongwei had fought against Zhao Yanshou on the battlefield, and they had won and lost each other, and when they heard his name, they were all stunned.

Zhang Yanze said casually: "Your Lord Zhao can have such feelings, why do you still want to serve the tiger and serve the Khitan wholeheartedly." ”

Liu Yanzuo smiled and said: "The matter between Lord Zhao and the Jin Kingdom, I'm afraid the generals know better than me." After hearing this, Zhang Yanze said angrily: "We are just our own masters." What's the big deal!" Liu Yanzuo stopped talking and slowly took a few steps back.

Du Chongwei motioned to Zhang Yanze to calm down and said: "After so many years, who can tell the difference between right and wrong. After all, the Khitan is a foreign race, how can the people of the sixteen states of Yanyun be willing to bow down and be vassals. ”

Only then did Liu Yanzuo say: "Lord Taiwei is reasonable. The sixteen states of Yanyun are the gateways of the Central Plains, and the people are as large as three million. If the Jin State can regain the territory of these sixteen states, the national strength will definitely increase greatly. Without the barrier of Baili Yan Mountain, the Khitan naturally did not dare to do whatever they wanted like now. ”

Those generals listened to Liu Yanzuo's words and said: "Having said that, how could the Khitan give up the sixteen states of Yanyun. ”

Liu Yanzuo said: "Generals, the Khitan will naturally not do this, but the people of Yingzhou are indeed looking forward to it, hoping to return to the embrace of the Jin Kingdom as soon as possible." The heart of the fist is a lesson to be learned from heaven and earth!" He said with emotion, but he still burst into tears.

The generals in the room were also quite touched when they saw his painful appearance.
