Han Shizu

Chapter 58
A camp on the north side of Gaoping City Wall, this is the base of Han Tong's cavalry capital, most people went out with Han Tong to investigate and suppress the defeated soldiers.In addition to the soldiers standing guard, there were only a few wounded soldiers left in the battalion.

Murong Yanzhao came alone, and was greeted by his soldiers and entered the camp.Subconsciously observing, smelling the smell of horse dung, listening to the occasional neighing.

Carrying a few bags of food in his hand, he came to visit Yang Ye specially this time.

In the stables of the camp, Yang Ye was bare-chested, carefully scrubbing a horse.It's just that the movements are a little deformed, every move, and grinning.Being fined [-] sticks, even if you are in good health, it is not so hard to endure.

In the barracks, Yang Ye changed into the military uniform of an ordinary soldier, and he was downgraded three levels in a row, and he was directly reduced to a small soldier.
"I'm not convinced?" Murong Yanzhao asked after holding a piece of boiled pork and handing it to Yang Ye.

After taking it, he took a bite. Yang Ye said: "How dare you! If you break the military regulations, you can save your life. It's also a fluke. It's me who will do it first, and General Guo's disposal. There's nothing to complain about."

He said so, but Yang Ye's brows revealed that it was clearly: Young Master is not happy.

Seeing his tough mouth, Murong Yanzhao said with a chuckle, "You are not the only one being punished. Some people have tossed it down, but they are hurting others and not themselves."

After a short pause, Murong Yanzhao said again, "This time, I'm a lucky person, and it's your fault."

Hearing this, Yang Ye immediately waved his hand: "General, don't forget, Yang Ye is also a 'lucky person'!"

"Haha, that's right."

"The Cavalry Capital is also a good place. With your ability, Yang Chonggui, you won't be buried anywhere." Obviously, Murong Yanzhao came here to comfort this little brother.

Soon, the two entered chat time.

"So did that fellow Geng Chongmei, who actually committed suicide. If he saved his life for me to kill himself, there would be no room for Sun Han to fight for it."

The county government in Gaoping naturally became Liu Chengyou's camp.In the second hall, Liu Chengyou was wearing a silk cloth single-clothing, pacing, his face was calm, and his mouth kept spitting out words.

On the case in the hall, Xiang Gongzheng buried his head in the record, wrote hard, wrote hundreds of words, and completed it in one fell swoop.He wrote a book about the situation of leading the army to fight south, reported it, asked for credit, and prepared to send it to Taiyuan.

After stopping, Liu Chengyou thought about it again and asked Xiang Gong, "Do you think there is anything else you need to add?"

Hearing this, Xiang Gong shook his head.

Liu Chengyou just stepped forward, picked up the four or five pieces of paper, and reviewed it.Xiang Xun's words are not beautiful, they can only be described as neat, but even so, they are much prettier than Liu Chengyou's words.

Today's Xiang Xun has become Liu Chengyou's confidant secretary.He handed it back to Xiang Xun and sealed it in the post. Liu Chengyou summoned Li Chongju, who was guarding outside: "I will send this report to Jinyang quickly."

"Xiang Xun, over the past few days, you have given advice and suggestions, co-ordinated important tasks, and you have done a lot of credit. With your talent, being a small attendant by my side is too subservient." Xiang Xun continued to sit, and Liu Chengyou talked to him casually.

Hearing Liu Chengyou say this, Xiang Xun showed a little surprise on his face. He glanced at Liu Chengyou, who had no expression in his eyes, and replied: "This is up and down, and those who want to replace the humble position are ignorant of themselves."

"Oh?" Liu Chengyou seemed to be interested: "Why?"

"Being able to do things beside His Highness and listen to your teachings is a blessing for your servants. How dare you think that your position is inferior." Xiang Xun lowered his eyelids and said with a chuckle.

Liu Chengyou grinned and waved his hand: "I have nothing to teach you, but it is me. I have heard more from you along the way, and I have gained a lot."

Tong Xiangxun chatted for a few words, and Liu Chengyou's expression returned to seriousness, and he said in a serious voice: "This time, when you go south, you have already won Luzhou and taken the risk of Shangdang. However, the attachment of Zezhou is beyond my expectations. Next, how will our army move, what do you think?"

Hearing the question, Xiang Xun pondered for a while, then raised his eyes to look at Liu Chengyou: "Your Highness shouldn't think about it at this time, continue south?"

"That's what I mean, what do you think?" Liu Chengyou admitted it simply: "The battle at Yangtoushan was a test of the Liao army's realities. Not enough to be afraid of.”

Xiang Xun's brows furrowed immediately, observing Liu Chengyou's expression, as if to measure whether Liu Chengyou's remarks were serious.

"His Royal Highness, we only defeated Yan soldiers. Yan people are not better than Khitan people!" Xiang Xun said.

"I don't think the Khitan people are better than the Yan people." Liu Chengyou waved his hand indifferently: "The Central Plains and Hebei are now a quagmire, and the Khitan people's iron cavalry can't move in this quagmire. Legs. Since our army is the vanguard, and won this great victory, it is time to take advantage of the victory to attack and face the Khitan people!"

Liu Chengyou said this in this tone, which nakedly showed his "arrogant" mentality.Xiang Xun couldn't help but persuaded with a sullen face: "Your Highness, don't be careless. Today, in the Central Plains, the Khitan still gathers heavy troops. After occupying Lu and Ze, it has greatly relieved the troubles of Hedong, and it is easy to attack and retreat."

"When you were still in Jinyang, did you ever propose that you should be a great teacher in the east of the river and make progress in the Central Plains? Why did you change your mind again?" Liu Chengyou asked.

Paying attention to Liu Chengyou's eyes, Xiang Xun took a breath, and slowly recited: "Before, the world fell under the Khitan's iron hoof, just as Hedong was taking on the weight of Kyushu, actively forging ahead, advocating the world, and setting an example for the Chinese military and civilians. But now , Your Majesty has declared himself emperor and sent troops to fight against Hukou, and there are also many responders in the towns, prefectures and counties of various places. Under such circumstances, what we need to consider is how to defeat and expel the Khitans and rebuild the country at the least cost. already."

"The defeat of Geng Chongmei this time has greatly boosted the morale of the military and civilians in the Central Plains and Hebei. At this time, it is necessary to firmly guard Lu and Ze, monitor Heluo, and watch the world change. It is almost certain that the Khitans ruled the Central Plains. , at the time of the fall. Besides, with the current strength of the Longqi Army, even with the addition of Luze Prefecture soldiers, it is still insignificant to the army of the Khitans."

After speaking, Xiang Xun reacted and looked at Liu Chengyou: "With His Highness's calmness and wisdom, shouldn't you rush south?"

Seeing that Xiang Xun's mouth was dry, Liu Chengyou picked up the kettle and poured him a glass of water, and slowly drew circles with his fingers on the desk: "Speaking of conceit, if fifty thousand rivers are riding on the east, you will be alone. Want to be handsome, Nanko Heluo, and wrestle with the Khitan people!"

Hearing Liu Chengyou's remarks, Xiang Xun was subconsciously relieved. At least it seemed that Liu Chengyou was not as arrogant as he expressed, so Xiao Sheng lost his mind.

"You said, I killed Geng Chongmei alone and threatened Heyang. Will the Khitan people provoke Yelu Deguang and send an army to the north to attack me?" After pondering for a while, Liu Chengyou suddenly asked, with a strong tone in his voice of fear.

He thought that Xiang Xun would speak clearly again, but Wen Xiangxun replied simply: "I don't know about the humble job."

Facing Liu Chengyou's slightly surprised gaze, Xiang Xun smiled bitterly: "Whether Yelu Deguang will send a large army north, I don't know if he is a humble officer, but Cui Tingxun of Heyang has to guard against it."

Nodding and thinking, Liu Chengyou raised his finger and pointed: "Take the defensive position temporarily, Zezhou is not a good place to defend, I want to return to Luzhou!"

"Your Highness is wise!" Xiang Xun clearly agreed with Liu Chengyou's decision.

On the second day, Liu Chengyou left Li Wanchao to temporarily take over the military in Zezhou, and he led the army north to withdraw to Shangdang.
