"How wonderful is it?" Liu Chengyou asked casually.
Li Shaoyou looked interested when he heard the question. He moved his hand casually in the air and answered in an uncertain tone: "Probably, it's like eating unripe green plums."
Seeing Liu Chengyou still immersed in the edict, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but said: "What the old scholar Su Yugui wrote is obscure and difficult to understand, so it's okay not to read it."
Li Shaoyou was a bit casual, but Liu Chengyou didn't take it seriously. He put away the edict, put it aside, and said: "I'm afraid I have to trouble Jinyang to consider this Zhaoyi Jiedu."
"What's the meaning?"
"I recommended Wang Shou'en, the former Luzhou inspection envoy, but unfortunately, just last night, this man died of malaria." Liu Chengyou explained calmly.
Li Shaoyou smiled slightly: "It seems that this person has a poor life and does not have such blessings."
"He is Wang Jianli's son." Liu Chengyou said.
"That means he has exhausted all his blessings..."
After chatting for a while, Liu Chengyou raised his eyes and stared at Li Shaoyou calmly. Being stared at so directly by Liu Chengyou, Li Shaoyou couldn't help but feel a little uncomfortable. The familiar awkward feeling came over him, and he quickly took out a letter from his arms. : "This is a secret message from the government to you."
Liu Chengyou's expression returned to his natural expression. He took it easily, opened it, and started browsing. Liu Zhiyuan's private message was much more straightforward, and Liu Chengyou could read it much more easily. As for the content, in addition to expressing his and Li's feelings for him, Apart from caring, he consulted him on strategic matters, which were still the same old problems, whether to advance or retreat, to attack or to defend.
From reading between the lines, one can slightly feel that his old father was not very happy with his role as emperor, and the pressure was a bit high. Perhaps it was because Liu Chengyou's great victory against the Liao army in the south this time gave Liu Zhiyuan another surprise, and his father seemed to treat Liu Chengyou again. How much do you think of him?
Putting away the letter, Liu Chengyou thought about it for a while, breathed out softly, regained his composure, and looked at Li Shaoyou: "Brother You, what is the current situation in Jinyang?"
At the mention of this, the frivolous look on Li Shaoyou's face suddenly disappeared, and he replied seriously: "It's great!"
"The officials in the east personally led the troops to defeat Liu Jiuyi and occupied Tumen (Jingxing); in the north, Shi Hongzhao beheaded Wang Hui and regained control of Daizhou; in the south, you defeated Geng Chong's army and occupied Luzhou and Hedong. We have all the advantages of geographical location, and the Khitan people will not pose a great threat to us in a short period of time."
"Now, the states, military, officials, people, and people's hearts in the Hedong area have all returned, and the situation in the new dynasty has gradually stabilized."
"Shaanzhou Forbidden Army generals Zhao Hui, Hou Zhang, and Wang Yan killed the Khitan generals, led the state to surrender, and sent envoys to Jinyang to submit their declarations of surrender; Zhangyi Jiedu envoys, upon hearing that the officials were proclaimed emperor, immediately submitted their declarations of surrender; There was even a small commander in Chanzhou who gathered a group of villagers and attacked Chanzhou. They burned the Khitan boats stationed on the river and sent people to Jinyang to enter the country... .”
Immediately afterwards, Li Shaoyou gave Liu Chengyou several examples. Either this state surrendered, or that county entered the country, or someone recklessly harassed the Khitan army and killed the officials appointed by the Khitan...
To sum up, there is one sentence: the situation is very good. Although there are not many on a large scale, and there are even fewer that make a big noise, and most of them are in the counties and counties near Hedong, at least the scene looks good.
As he said this, Li Shaoyou was a little excited, feeling glorious, and his expression was slightly exaggerated.
During this period of time, Liu Chengyou had been focusing on the battles in Lu and Ze and surrounding news. Although there was news coming from Jinyang, it was not as clear as Li Shaoyou's personal account.
It sounds like there are quite a lot of big and small forces that have surrendered in this world. It can be expected that more people will come to Liu Zhiyuan's side in the future. After all, Liu Chengyou's side has achieved a hearty victory. Annihilated a Liao army.
Although they are essentially Yan soldiers, the Yan soldiers are also "Liao soldiers". Even the combat effectiveness of the Yan soldiers is not necessarily worse than those of the Khitan troops.
"It sounds like the situation is really good." Liu Chengyou expressed his opinion easily.
At this time, Li Shaoyou quickly changed his face, covered his eyebrows with excitement, and said with a bit of playfulness in his tone: "That's not entirely true. Now there is another debate in Jinyang. Shi Hongzhao and other generals advocated catering to the general trend and taking advantage of the situation. The anti-Liao atmosphere in various places was enthusiastic, and they launched an all-out attack to advance into the Central Plains and quickly conquer the world; Yang Bin, Wang Zhang and others, because the Central Plains had not undergone major changes, strongly opposed it, and still insisted on a limited attack..."
"Brother You, your information is quite good." Liu Chengyou said.
"That's why I am now a relative of the emperor and a close minister of the emperor." Li Shaoyou chuckled.
After pondering secretly for a while, Liu Chengyou asked: "Two opinions, what is General Guo's attitude?"
"Guo Wei?" Li Shaoyou was stunned for a moment, then realized what he was doing and recalled, "He seems to be impartial and did not express his position or participate in the dispute."
Hearing this, Liu Chengyou was not surprised. It seemed that as Liu Zhiyuan proclaimed himself emperor, the civil and military battles in Jinyang tended to intensify. With Guo Wei's intelligence, he would naturally not get involved rashly.
Liu Chengyou raised his eyes and looked at Li Shaoyou, his usually moody cousin. After thinking about it, he asked, "What do you think, uncle?"
"My father?" Li Shaoyou seemed a little casual: "What ideas can he have? It's not just that he will do what the officials tell him."
After saying this, a sly look suddenly flashed in Li Shaoyou's eyes, and he moved closer to Liu Chengyou and said to him: "I heard that the officials originally seemed to intend to recall you back to Jinyang and appoint another commander to lead the troops. Luzhou Jiedu, also It is planned to appoint another general from Hedong. It seems that Shi Hongzhao made the suggestion, well, Yang Bin seems to be involved..."
When Li Shaoyou said this, his voice became much deeper, but his eyes were always calmly paying attention to the change in Liu Chengyou's expression.
Unfortunately, what made him feel rather bored was that except for a slight frown on Liu Chengyou's face, there was no other expression on his face.
Although Li Shaoyou used function words such as "seems", "seems like" and "seems like" in his words, Liu Chengyou knew that it was not necessarily without reason. He must have really heard some valuable news.
Shi Hongzhao, it is understandable that this guy has always been arrogant and confident. He wants to be the vanguard commander and never hides it. On the contrary, it is Yang Bin. What does he mean?
Just as he was about to think deeply, Liu Chengyou reacted quickly, sneered softly, glanced at Li Shaoyou, and said in a cold voice: "Brother You, what is the purpose of telling me these things?"
Facing Liu Chengyou's slanting gaze, Li Shaoyou raised his eyebrows and said haha: "It's nothing, I'm just giving you a heads up, lest you be too surprised if you are recalled to Jinyang one day... "
Liu Chengyou frowned, this cousin obviously had something in his words.
Instead of worrying about this issue, he stood up and greeted him: "It's been a hard journey, so I'll hold a banquet to welcome you."
