The first-class concubine of the Song Dynasty

Chapter 308 Yeluxian's thoughts

Bayu city.

Bayu City is just a small city in Qinzhou, which is closest to the border of the Song Dynasty, so the city is very strong.

It’s just that there are very few people in this city, only some very old residents. They have lived here all their lives and don’t want to leave, but this is also easy to understand. Bayu City borders the Song Dynasty. It's not really safe to stay here.

After Chen Chen's 1 people entered Bayu City, Chen Chen quickly arranged them. The four gates, because the north, east, and west are all the land of the Northern Han Dynasty, they didn't need to send too many people to guard them, but The south city gate is facing the Great Song Dynasty, but it needs to be guarded by heavy troops.

After such a distribution, they went to the mansion in Bayu City.

It was a slightly dilapidated mansion, but Chen Chen and the others were very satisfied with it.

After staying here, Chen Chen said, "The Northern Han Dynasty treated us pretty well. The city is strong and the food and grass are well stocked. If our power can be stronger, we might be able to win the Northern Han regime and establish ourselves as king here."

Hearing Chen Chen's words made people very uncomfortable. At first he said that others treated him very well, but the next sentence he wanted to deal with them. Such a person is an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf.

Chen Qing smiled, and said: "Based on our current situation, we can only find a way to gain the trust of the Northern Han Dynasty. If the second brother can enter the Northern Han Dynasty and become an official, it may not be a problem to win the Northern Han Dynasty."

Chen Chen nodded. Although the Northern Han Dynasty was much smaller than the Great Song Dynasty, it would be a good choice if he could establish himself as the king here. Even after he became the king, he would work hard to govern, and it might not be possible to annex the whole world.

After the two of them finished talking, Chen Chen said again, "When will Liu Wei's troops arrive?"

"Soon, it will arrive in about five days."

"Okay, tell me to go on, and order our people to cheer up. As soon as Liu Wei comes, he will definitely fight us. If we can show our momentum and prestige, we may be able to win the favor of the Northern Han Emperor."

Chen Qing frowned slightly, he didn't agree with his second brother's words, but he felt that it was meaningless to refute, because anyway, a battle between them and Liu Wei was inevitable.

And just after Chen Chen took his soldiers and horses to station in Bayu City, Taiyuan in the Northern Han Dynasty.

Liu House.

Liu Jiye is a middle-aged man in his 40s, with a burly appearance and an upright appearance. He is sitting in the living room with serious eyebrows.

"Father, the Holy Majesty took in Chen Chen, a rebel from the Song Dynasty. Isn't this...isn't this leading wolves into the house?" A boy in his 20s looked at Liu Jiye with a righteous face. He was Liu Jiye's eldest son, Liu Tai, who was later the Yang family. General Yang Dalang Yang Yanping, Liu Jiye's original surname is Yang, and the surname Liu is the imperial surname bestowed by the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty.

After listening to his eldest son's words, Liu Jiye sighed softly: "The Holy Majesty wanted to use Chen Chen and the others to resist the Song people's attack, but my father felt that the matter was not so simple. If Chen Chen just wanted a city to live and live, then it's up to them When escaping from Bianjing, any city can be called their base. Although food is a problem, the food in a city is enough for them, and if they really want to rebel, the best way is to go to Shu. OK."

"Shu land is vast and sparsely populated, and its geographical location is very advantageous. As long as they occupy Bashu, it will not be so easy for the Song people to exterminate them. But why did they come to our Northern Han Dynasty?"

Liu Tai also felt puzzled, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Father, although Bashu has geographical advantages, Zhao Kuangyin had already expected this, so he arranged for someone he trusted to be in charge of Bashu. His name seems to be Liu Shouzhong, who is Zhao Kuangyin. One of the ten brothers of Yishe, this man is loyal to Zhao Kuangyin, since Zhao Kuangyin put down the Bashu rebellion, he was sent there."

Liu Jiye nodded: "You're right, but Zhao Kuangyin doesn't really trust Liu Shouzhong very much. Although he let Liu Shouzhong guard Bashu, he only gave him 5000 troops. If he dares to have more, Zhao Kuangyin will destroy him."

"5000 troops are enough to resist Chen Chen's [-] troops."

Liu Jiye nodded. He felt that it was Liu Shouzhong's 5000 troops that made Chen Chen give up his plan to go to Bashu, and then came to beg their Beihan, but did Chen Chen really want to join them?
Or does he have another purpose?
Seeing his father's concentration, Liu Tai said: "Father, in fact, we don't have to worry too much. Chen Chen only has 1 horses. If he has any intentions, we will immediately send an army to destroy him."

Liu Jiye thought for a while, and finally nodded. He is the Generalissimo of the Northern Han Dynasty, and he is responsible for the safety of the border of the Northern Han Dynasty.

Liao.

Winter is a disaster for Liao people, severe cold and hunger, almost every day people die because of cold and hunger.

The drought in summer has been resolved by the blizzard in winter, but for many Liao people, they are still uneasy.

They were terrified of hunger, severe cold, and the near-genocide massacre that summer.

They have always held that they are the most powerful nation, they can sweep anywhere, but since the massacre this summer, they found that they were wrong. It turns out that many of their Liao people are the same as the people they massacred before. weakness, the same can become someone else's lamb.

Because they robbed the grain of the Northern Han Dynasty when they returned to China in the summer, they temporarily eased the anger of the Liao people, and Yeluxian was able to temporarily keep the throne.

But the Liao Kingdom was damaged by the battle in Xia Tian, ​​so they have been patient with the Song Dynasty who has been provoking them all the time, although their resentment towards the Song Dynasty has reached the extreme.

At the beginning of the Northern Han Dynasty, they hated them very much. Several battles were fought between the two countries. However, Liu Jiyuan, the emperor of the Northern Han Dynasty, thought that he might need to ask the Liao Kingdom when he was at war with the Song people in the future. , they only ordered people to stick to the border.

The Liao people were able to recuperate under such circumstances.

And under such circumstances, the news came that Chen Chen, the traitor of the Song Dynasty, took 1 people to join the Northern Han Dynasty.

After Ye Luxian listened, a sneer appeared on the corner of his mouth. Since the massacre in Xia Tian, ​​Ye Luxian has become more and more restrained. Many things are indifferent, even in front of his teacher Li Yin. .

"Sir, what do you think of this matter?"

Li Yin was not in a hurry to answer Ye Luxian's question, but pondered for a long time before opening his mouth and said, "Let them settle the matter between the Song Dynasty and the Northern Han Dynasty by themselves."

Li Yin only said such a sentence, but the meaning is very clear. Chen Chen took refuge in the Northern Han Dynasty, and the Song people would definitely encircle and suppress them. But this is a matter of Song and Northern Han, and has nothing to do with their Liao Kingdom. Now their Liao Kingdom is still continuing to recuperate. Well, it is best not to provoke both countries.

Ye Luxian is a smart person, so he naturally understood what Li Yin said, but he shook his head: "I think this is an opportunity for our Liao Kingdom."

Li Yin's heart sank slightly, but he still asked, "What opportunity is it?"

"The opportunity to control the Northern Han Dynasty."

Li Yin's face was slightly pale, and he felt that his worries had finally come.

"What does His Majesty mean?"

"Sir is a smart man. If we really want to do something, how should we do it?" Ye Luxian didn't answer Li Yin's question, but asked rhetorically.

Li Yin was silent, and then said: "If we want to keep Liao alive, the most beneficial way for us now is to form an alliance with Song, carve up the Northern Han, and then sign an agreement with Song, and the two sides will repair it. If there is a chance to destroy the Northern Han, they will definitely let go of their suspicions and cooperate with us, and as long as the Northern Han is divided up, our Liao Kingdom can get supplies, we can do business with the Song Dynasty, and we can ensure the peace of the Liao Kingdom.”

After Li Yin finished speaking, he stood aside. This is the plan he proposed after this summer, but at that time, because the Song people slaughtered the Liao people on their grassland, Ye Luxian hated the Song people to the bone , refused to discuss or even do business with Song He at all, so Li Yin didn't mention it again after probing it once.

But in this situation, he definitely has an opportunity for Liao, and he is going to try again.

And he believes that this is the most beneficial measure for the Liao Kingdom now, and now they can only negotiate peace with Qiangsheng Da Song.

But Ye Luxian shook his head after listening to Li Yin's words: "Song people killed our women and children in Liao country, this is my fault as the monarch, if my country negotiates peace with Song people again, what do you want Liao people to think of me? I also know that my husband's idea is good, but I still want to keep this bit of self-esteem and blood."

Hearing Ye Luxian's words, Li Yin didn't say anything else, because he knew that no matter what he said, Ye Luxian would not change his decision, so he was suddenly a little disappointed in Ye Luxian.

Because in his opinion, a successful emperor should be able to bend and stretch, and what an emperor should care about is the result, not the process, but Yeluxian didn't, and he was unwilling to be humiliated.

"Your subordinate is stupid, please ask your majesty to explain your plan."

Ye Luxian smiled slightly and said: "Then Chen Chen is by no means willing to be inferior to others, and it is just a helpless move to seek refuge in the Northern Han Dynasty at this time. If we reach an agreement with him, we will help him seize the Northern Han regime and let him If the Northern Han Dynasty becomes king, do you think he will be loyal to us?"

After hearing Yeluxian's words, Li Yin suddenly understood Yeluxian's purpose. He felt that Yeluxian was indeed a smart person who could think of this, but he still shook his head very bluntly: "My lord, just now you also Having said that, Chen Chen is not a person willing to live under others, so how could he be loyal to our Liao Kingdom? If he became king in the Northern Han Dynasty, I am afraid that his ambitions will be great. Either the Song Dynasty in the south, or our Liao Kingdom in the north, Such a person is not worth working with."

After hearing Li Yin's words, Ye Luxian was not angry, he just shrugged his shoulders: "Sir, how could I not understand what you said, but do you think I will give him a chance to fight back?"
