Liu Zhiyuan had a dark face and looked at Zhang Congen's envoy in front of him quite speechlessly.
Historically, the appearance of this great ancestor of the Later Han Dynasty was not very pleasing, so much so that in the old History of the Five Dynasties and Han Dynasty books, it can only be said that he had a peculiar appearance.
Generally speaking, after a person has a special face, he will tell what is special about him, such as Liu Bei's whose hands and feet are almost the same length, but the old Five Dynasties history did not mention it because it is really difficult to describe.
This Liu Zhiyuan had a younger brother named Murong Yanchao. This man once pretended to be surnamed Yan, so he had the nickname Yan Kunlun.
Notice! This Kunlun does not mean that Murong Yanchao is tall or has a noble temperament. This Kunlun is the Kunlun of Kunlun slaves.
In short, Murong Yan has super curly hair, pockmarked face, and dark face, and looks like a Kunlun slave.
The same goes for Liu Zhiyuan. Except for his eyes, which are mostly white and partly black, the rest of his body is extremely dark.
And obviously, Liu Zhiyuan inherited this from his mother, because his half-brother Liu Chong is not dark at all, only he and his half-brother Murong Yan are very dark.
Reminiscent of the fact that the Tang Dynasty had just passed a few decades ago, and Kunlun slaves were extremely popular at that time. To a large extent, Liu Zhiyuan's maternal blood relatives should have a lot of Kunlun slave blood.
Being looked at by such a person with a dark face, Luzhou Zhaoyi Military Academy, who acted as a messenger, was so frightened that he could not speak.
Only now did Liu Zhiyuan realize that Zhang Con'en, the commander of the Luzhou Zhaoyi Army, had come to join him. He was still surprised that Zhang Con'en, who was as timid as a mouse, had the courage to place a bet so early.
It turned out that Wang Shouen, the envoy of the Zhaoyi Army in Luzhou, Li Wanchao, the commander of the Zhaoyi Army, and three people engaged in high defense at Jiedu had killed the Khitan envoy, put Zhang Congen under house arrest, and sent people to seek refuge.
Liu Zhiyuan was happy to accept Wang Shouen and Li Wanchao's surrender, and knew that they sincerely surrendered.
Because Wang Shouen and Liu Zhiyuan had an old relationship, Li Wanchao, who actually held the military power, was even Liu Zhiyuan's fellow Taiyuan fellow. The two had known each other since they were young and had served together as soldiers in Li Keyong's army.
However, they were a little anxious now that they had killed the Khitan envoy before the war was over.
Moreover, the envoys sent were unreliable. They actually only knew that the Khitans lost the Heyang Bridge and Zhongli City was almost destroyed. As for the rest, they knew almost nothing.
Liu Zhiyuan personally interrogated the envoy carefully more than five times, and after confirming that the envoy did not lie or lie, he asked him to go down to rest, and then summoned the civil servants and generals of the Beiping County Prince and Shogunate for discussion.
Guo Wei was the first to speak. He pondered for a moment and then said: "If the Khitans really lose Zhongli City and Heyang Bridge, I believe that the Liao army is already in danger.
They are all in Henan now. They have lost the Heyang Bridge. If they want to return to Hebei, they can only take the Baima Ferry in Huazhou.
Therefore, if we had not been defeated and were unable to do anything, we would never have lost the Heyang Bridge. "
General Guo Congyi, who had been recommended by Liu Zhiyuan during the Later Jin Dynasty and had recently been cited as his confidant, also nodded lightly.
"Wen Zhong's analysis is reasonable. I told the king at that time that the Khitan people seemed to be strong, but they were actually strong on the outside but weak on the inside.
Even if the king does not attack Tokyo like King Zhang Yong, he should raise the flag of righteousness in Hedong and announce it to the world. That way he can at least win the hearts of Hebei.
It's a pity that today's righteousness has been taken care of by King Zhang Yong, and we have lost a step! "
Guo Congyi actually wanted to say that this scene was very similar to when Cao Cao held the emperor hostage to order the princes, but Yuan Shao hesitated and finally lost his righteousness.
But he didn't dare to say it, for fear of directly angering Liu Zhiyuan to death.
Liu Zhiyuan was also a little embarrassed. At that time, he was still thinking about letting Yelu Deguang fight Zhang Zhao to the death. He sat on the mountain and watched the fight between tigers and tigers. Now that he thinks about it, he has indeed lost the opportunity.
Su Fengji's face looked a little unsightly, and Wang Jun's expression was similar. They were the two who made the initial suggestion to let Liu Zhiyuan wait and see.
At that moment, Su Fengji stood up and held up his hands and said: "Now we just see that the Khitans cannot hold the Heyang Bridge, but the Lord of Liao has 60,000 to 70,000 elite troops, tens of thousands of surrendered soldiers, and plenty of food and grass.
It has only been less than three months, how can we decide the winner? It is impossible to say that the Lord of Liao has defeated King Zhang Yong now. "
What Su Fengji said actually makes sense. This is also Liu Zhiyuan's biggest problem. After losing the opportunity to seize the opportunity for justice, he can only wait until the outcome of the two sides is decided before placing bets. He must always pay attention to the outcome of the Yongliao War.
Wang Jun pondered for a moment. In fact, he was Liu Zhiyuan's true confidant, far more than Guo Wei, Guo Congyi, etc. Of course, the bet he placed on Liu Zhiyuan was not that big.
"The hundreds of thousands of troops in Luoyang are fighting fiercely. How can outsiders easily know the outcome? But in the eyes of the servant, the king has no choice.
Because even if the Khitans were victorious, as long as they could not kill King Zhang Yong on the spot, they would not be able to occupy the Central Plains for a long time with their outrageous tactics. "
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up when he heard these words. If this could really happen, that would be a beautiful thing! All he had to do was wait, waiting for Yelu Deguang to come and beg him to clean up the mess.
Wang Jun saw the light shining on Liu Zhiyuan's dark face, and immediately knew what Liu Zhiyuan was thinking, so he continued.
"It would be bad if the Khitans were defeated, and King Zhang Yong would seize Tokyo with the great cause of expelling the northern barbarians.
Since the decline of the great dynasty, and even since Emperor Suzong Xuan of the great dynasty regained the two capitals, no country has been so righteous in the past two hundred years!
He only needs to issue an order to move the town and summon us with the righteousness of the world to make us restrain our hands. "
To be honest, when Wang Jun said this, he also regretted it.
If I had known that the Khitan people could not even deal with King Zhang Yong, they should have raised righteousness in Hedong and snatched the right name, and then blocked the land in Hebei and snatched the Khitan people's BMW and armor. But now, it is too late to regret it.
well! Hearing Wang Jun say the same thing, Liu Zhiyuan's face couldn't be darker.
"If that's the case, why can't we just sit here? Why don't we start our troops from Hedong and go straight to Luzhou, then cross the river and send troops to Henan.
If the Khitan wins, we will say that we are here to help and ask for armor, weapons, food and fodder. If the Khitan is about to lose, then we will help them. "
Shi Hongzhao touched the short beard on his chin and said loudly.
Liu Zhiyuan's eyes lit up, "That's okay!"
"Ahem!" At this moment, Wang Zhang, the Du Kongmu official beside Liu Zhiyuan, said softly.
"My servant heard that King Zhang Yong was in Guanzhong and thought he was the reincarnation of Emperor Taizongwen.
Now the Khitan is blocked in Mang Mountain, just like Wang Shichong in the past. The king lives in Hebei and his soldiers are brave, much like the Xia King Dou Jiande in the past.
During the Battle of Luoyang, was it really a good idea to send all the troops south to Henan? "
Liu Zhiyuan: .....(fuck panfuck)
How could he have forgotten this? It was so unlucky. King Liu moved his hands repeatedly.
"Heyang Bridge has been blocked by the Yongliang army, and we cannot go to Henan."
Wang Jun glanced at Wang Zhang dissatisfiedly and felt that this scholar was too busy.
"This won't work, and that won't work either. Are we just going to wait here for King Zhang Yong to enter Tokyo?"
Wang Zhang ignored Wang Jun's eyes, because he was not a simple scholar.
Wang Zhang's father-in-law was Liu Zhiyuan's confidant. The Taiyuan deputy stayed behind, and the school inspector Bai Wenke was by his side.
So he raised his hands to Liu Zhiyuan without fear and said: "I think that the king's prestige is in Hebei, and if he leaves Hebei from the east of Taiyuan, Xing, Ming, Wei, and Pingxiang can be passed on.
In particular, Liang Hui, the bandit commander of Xiangzhou, was originally from Hedong. He always admired the king and would definitely be willing to join him.
We will not go to Luoyang, but to Xiangzhou, to Baimadu to save the pontoon bridge of Baimadu.
If Liao wins, as long as King Zhang Yong is not killed by the formation, the Khitan people will definitely be frightened and will definitely want to return north.
At that time, the king can use the pontoon bridge of Baima Ferry to ask the Khitan for a price, and it will only be a matter of time before he enters Tokyo and becomes emperor.
If the Khitans are defeated, we will guard the White Horse Crossing Floating Bridge, kill all the Khitans, and raise the flag of righteousness to confront King Zhang Yong from the north to the south.
It is said that destiny is in your hands, and the Khitan master did not die in Luoyang, but returned to the north. As long as it falls into our hands, the great cause of expelling the northern captives will return to your hands.
King Zhang Yong, who was from Hexi, had always been called a Tibetan thief and could not command the various towns in the Central Plains. The king started from the east of the river, and everyone expected him to return. Even if he faced each other across the river, he would definitely be able to suppress King Zhang Yong. "
Speaking of this, Wang Jun immediately changed his dissatisfied look and jumped up.
"Wang Kong thinks this plan is feasible! We can also let Wang Shouen and Li Wanchao from Luzhou approach Huaizhou and Mengzhou.
The Khitan guard there, Gao Song, was not a Khitan but a Bohai man. He had thousands of elite men under his command. By recruiting him, the king would have the capital to compete with the Hexi soldiers. "
"Perhaps we can capture the Lord of Liao and return to Yunzhou from the Khitans, and then use Yunzhou to recall Wu Luan and other tens of thousands of Datong troops who have returned to Xiazhou, and we can even recruit the Fuzhou family.
If Daibei and Hedong are both in the king's hands, what should the Hexi soldiers fear? "
Liu Zhiyuan's eldest son Liu Chengxun was also completely excited, but he didn't know if he would make Liu Zhiyuan cry to death in this time and space.
Bai Wenke also thought about it and felt that it was indeed feasible, so he suggested to Liu Zhiyuan.
"The Khitan envoy Han Kuangsi is still in Taiyuan. He is here to persuade the king to help the Khitan. The king can summon him immediately and ask the Khitan people for Xing, Ming and other prefectures first."
After hearing everyone's words, he immediately made a plan, and it was not a lie.
Liu Zhiyuan suddenly felt that the emperor's crown, which had gone far away, was flying back again. He was so happy that he even uttered the words "I will never forget the rich and the noble."
"If you are rich and powerful in the future, you will never forget today!"
All the civil servants and generals from Hedong stood up together, raised their hands, and replied loudly: "Don't you dare to think about it with all your energy!"
.
.
However, the civil servants and generals in Hedong and Liu Zhiyuan never imagined that the Khitan people would collapse much faster than they imagined.
The Khitans relied on iron cavalry to travel across the northern country. Guang Ge basically brought iron cavalry with him when he went south. Historically, the Khitans had many infantry, but that was only in the middle and late stages.
But since they are cavalry, but now they are stuck in Yanshi City and dare not go out, why do they still need to fight this battle?
Defend the city? Not to mention the Khitans, even the Xi people are not very good at it!
Rely on the Jin army to surrender the soldiers, the Khitan Han people and the Bohai people?
Are you kidding me? What did you Yelu Deguang give me? Is it worth their efforts?
Therefore, when Zhang Zhaoba removed all the Khitan strongholds outside Yanshi City and several Khitan cavalry raids out of the city ended in failure, harsh punishments could no longer suppress the suspicion of the lower-level soldiers.
After all, Yelu Deguang was a Khitan, not a commander in chief of the Central Plains.
Although there is still plenty of food and grass, there is no shortage of water in Yinluoshui, and there is no shortage of firewood in Mang Mountain, but after all, he still does not have the capital to hold on.
"The Romance of Fairy Wood"
This kind of thing of holding on fortified cities for a year and a half, or even consuming people for several years, does not belong to the Khitan people.
Just waiting for the first trebuchet to hit the city, another decisive battle was inevitable.
