After such a long period of training, Liu Chengyou's first reaction when he didn't go anywhere was to inspect the surrounding area, check the terrain, and understand the people's conditions. In a military important place like Jingxing, inspections are naturally inevitable.
Tao Gu followed Liu Chengyou and introduced Jingxing to him as if he was dropping his book bag. This man had read a lot of books, and his expressions even seemed a bit showy. He quoted ancient books such as "Yu Gong" and "Shui Jing Zhu". , and then interspersed with his own understanding on paper, he said it all, and described it with a familiar saying: Military strategists must fight for the ground.
Liu Chengyou has heard this sentence a lot. He feels that any pass can be described by this sentence. Why are there so many battlegrounds? It all depends on the war situation and the specific situation.
...
Liu Chengyou was not made to wait for too long, avoiding the hottest period around noon. Following the mountain road, under the guidance of his guides, Liu Chengxun led his troops and horses to the west of Jingxing. Liu Chengyou personally led the people out of the pass to greet them, showing his outstanding performance. "Respect" as a younger brother.
I haven’t seen him for a few months, and my eldest brother Liu Chengxun still looks like a gentle gentleman. Even if he is wrapped in military armor, he still looks like a gentleman in the killing army. It just seems that the march is very hard, and his face is covered with pain. He was red from boredom and was sweating profusely.
At the foot of Guancheng, Liu Chengxun seemed a little surprised to see Liu Chengyou coming to greet him in person. He stepped forward a little excited and took his hand: "Erlang, why are you here in person?"
"The eldest brother has led the army east, and I, as the younger brother, will welcome you personally!" Liu Chengyou said softly. Compared with when he was in Jinyang, Liu Chengyou seemed less cold, and his face seemed to be softer.
Liu Chengxun also looked at Liu Chengyou and said with some concern: "You have lost weight and become darker. But as long as you are fine, you don't know that your mother is in Taiyuan, but she is always worried and praying for you!"
For some reason, the concern on Liu Chengxun's face made Liu Chengyou feel quite uncomfortable. However, thinking of the Li family, Liu Chengyou showed a little reserved expression, and asked with a little emotion: "How is mother's health?"
"It's very good. I just keep it in my heart. Now, our father and son are all in the army. Alas..." Liu Chengxun said, "Fortunately, we still have Sanlang waiting for us."
Listening to what Liu Chengxun said, Liu Chengyou had no special feelings in his heart. In his impression, Mrs. Li was not a weak and short-sighted woman, so she was not like that.
Liu Chengxun was in something wrong. He looked like he was out of breath due to lack of water. Liu Chengyou quickly called him to the city to rest. Seeing his frail body, Liu Chengyou couldn't help but express concern, but he could not help but feel relaxed in his heart. Feel.
"I heard that you led the army in Luan City and defeated hundreds of thousands of Khitan troops, and also took the life of the Lord of Liao? Now, you are famous all over the world!" Walking into the city pass, I felt a lot better in the shade. Liu Chengxun's The chat box is open.
Liu Chengyou expressed his humility: "The rumors are wrong. The Khitan army plus the Zahu army only had about 100,000 people. With the help of Yan soldiers and Jin soldiers, and the death of the Lord of Liao, this victory could only be achieved. Also, the life of the Lord of Liao could not be achieved." It was not taken by our army. However, if he had not died, I would not have dared to lead the army in a night attack..."
Hearing what Liu Chengyou said, Liu Chengxun was still praising him with words full of praise, but he couldn't hide the hidden envy in his eyes at all.
"How is Jinyang doing now?"
Along the way, not only Liu Chengxun was testing, but Liu Chengyou was also concerned about the situation in Hedong.
Following Liu Chengxun from the east, there were less than 3,000 troops, and a group of troops from Jinyang were transferred. Counting these people, it can be imagined that Taiyuan's military strength was already extremely weak.
Uncle Liu Chong took over Taiyuan completely and left Beijing behind. In the future, the Hedong Jiedushi will basically not be able to escape.
However, after Liu Zhiyuan's all-out march, he will later migrate the soldiers' relatives to the Central Plains, resulting in population loss, and Hedong will be drained of blood again...
