"It's coming!" Hearing the actions of Ma Renyu's army, Yelv Xiezhen frowned even more tightly, but without much panic, he said in a deep voice: "If the actions of the Koreans are true, then the Han army is really enough
Being strong, is this to rival the north and the south?"
"Send people secretly to go south to contact the Korean people. They must also feel the threat of the Southern Dynasty! Since they dare to send troops to go north, they must have the intention of going to war with the Han army!" After thinking for a long time, Yelu Xiezhen gave instructions: "
Tell the Korean people that Daliao is willing to join forces with them to fight against the Han, and they can choose the land east of Liao..."
In the past, if the Goryeo people interfered with the Han-Liao war, then Yelv Xiezhen would only be wary and defensive. But now, he is warmly welcomed. As for the promise, there is nothing he can't bear to part with. If Goryeo has the ability to give up the entire Northeast to them,
No problem, as long as they have the appetite.
No matter what, at this time, if the Han army in eastern Liaodong fights with the Koreans, it will be a good thing for the Liao country, and it will definitely create a containment for the Han army and relieve the pressure on his side.
"yes!"
After thinking about it, Yelu Xiezhen still felt that there was something he could use. He wandered in the hall for a while, then quickly returned to his seat, spread out a piece of silk, started writing quickly, and quickly wrote a letter, and then covered his own
Big seal.
He picked up the silk book, inspected it, dried the ink, looked at his subordinates, and said seriously: "Choose another dead soldier to go south with this book! You must explain that this letter will properly fall into the hands of the Han army.
..."
The subordinate was stunned and a little confused, but he noticed that Yelu Xiezhen's expression seemed to have a cunning temperament at this time, and then he reacted belatedly: "Is the king trying to create a wedge?"
"No!" Yelu Xiezhen shook his head and said calmly: "As long as there is no real battle between the Han army and Goryeo, there will be room for change. This book of mine is just a push!"
In fact, what Yelv Xiezhen is looking forward to more than the assists from Goryeo is the support from the Liao court in Beijing. If Yelvxian can give full support to the Northeast, then he will
There is still a chance for a comeback. At least the rebellion in the rear will be suppressed, and the hope of holding the Songliao Plain will be greatly increased.
However, judging from the previous situation, the imperial court has already chosen to give up and no longer has confidence in him on the Tokyo Road, and it is even less likely to invest the last capital in the quagmire of Northeast China.
Yelv Xian and the center of the Liao court obviously also had their own considerations. They had to take the overall situation into consideration, and it was difficult to achieve unity with Yelv Xiezhen. After all, when the situation developed to the point where it was out of control, the Khitan dynasty
The nomadic nature is even more prominent, and grassland is its foundation.
...
While Yelu Xiezhen was working hard to resist the Han army and defend the Northeast, Emperor Liu did not relax at all. He sat in Youzhou and personally inquired about the situation on each front. For this reason, a few strands of hair on his temples turned gray again.
Due to the cool weather in autumn, Youzhou Xing had already set up a charcoal stove in his dormitory. Emperor Liu was huddled on the hot kang. His old cold legs began to react again, so he paid more attention to maintenance.
Already.
The concubine Xian accepted the order and waited beside the couch, taking care of her carefully. Almost holding back her nausea, she swallowed a mouthful of medicinal soup. Emperor Liu pushed the medicine bowl away from Lady Zhe and said, "I won't drink anymore!"
Even if the medicinal soup is made not so bitter, it is medicine after all, and it is not that delicious. However, Madam Zhe still stubbornly scooped up a spoonful and handed it to Emperor Liu's mouth: "Only half a bowl is left!"
"It's a medicine with three parts poison, that's about it!" Emperor Liu shook his head.
But under the "force" of Mrs. Zhe, she still drank another spoonful, picked up the silk handkerchief and wiped her mouth, and couldn't help but cough a few times. Seeing this, Mrs. Zhe quickly put down the medicine bowl and lightly beat her back.
.
Beside the couch, Prince Liu Yang, Duke of Qin Liu Xu, and Duke of Jin Liu Xi were all there. Hearing Emperor Liu's empty cough, Liu Yang said with concern: "Dad, please take care of yourself!"
"It's nothing serious!" Emperor Liu waved his hand and responded: "It's just a cold, I'm not that fragile!"
His voice was obviously hoarse when he spoke. After drinking half a bowl of medicinal soup, the discomfort in his throat was slightly relieved. Every autumn and winter, colds were inevitable, and Emperor Liu was a little helpless about the decline in his physical fitness.
Leaning against the pillow and relaxing, Emperor Liu then turned his attention to his three sons, mainly Liu Yang and Liu Xu, who were returning to Youzhou to resume their duties, and Liu Xi was accompanying them.
During this period of time, Liu Xu had been patrolling the Yanshan Road, and even went north into the mountains to visit the front lines of Wang Yanchao's army. As for Liu Yang, after receiving Emperor Liu's approval, he temporarily put aside military and political affairs in Liaodong and handed them over to Zhao Kuangyin and Zhao Kuangyin.
Gao Huaide, hurry west and return to Youzhou to meet you.
"I'm fine, don't stand still, sit down!" Emperor Liu said softly, pointing to the three chairs.
"Yes!" The three princes sat down politely.
Looking at Liu Yang, Emperor Liu's eyes looked very soft, and he said: "It's been a hard work commanding the front line for more than half a year! I understand your performance in the army. It's very good. Keep up the good work!"
There were obvious traces of hard work and effort on Liu Yang's young face, with bags under his eyes and a weathered look. But listening to Emperor Liu's caring words, a touching emotion suddenly arose in his heart. For him, there may be no more
There is nothing more gratifying than getting approval from Emperor Liu.
"As long as I don't disappoint you, I will be satisfied!" Liu Yang sighed: "I rely more on dad's teachings. There are still many things that are not difficult, so I ask for your guidance!"
When he said this, Liu Yang subconsciously relaxed a little, and his tone was full of emotion. It was obvious that he had also endured a lot of pressure in front of the army.
"As the commander-in-chief, you have to shoulder the responsibility of the three armies!" Emperor Liu could also feel some of his feelings and chuckled: "I heard that you have sent troops south to attack Goryeo?"
"Yes!" After hearing the question, Liu Yang immediately cheered up and replied: "I am returning to Youzhou this time not only to visit and greet you, but also to report to you and ask for advice on this matter!"
"explain!"
Liu Yang said: "Goryeo is provoking from the north and is so ambitious that we cannot agree to its unreasonable request! At the time of the full-scale confrontation between Han and Liao, Goryeo wants to take advantage of the opportunity, but the Han Dynasty cannot allow it. Otherwise, it will be greedy and will only ask for more. Therefore,
After discussions at the camp, it was agreed that instead of letting Goryeo take advantage of the situation, it was better to take the lead in attacking and extinguish its ambitions.
Moreover, after the general's planning, he believed that although the troops gathered by Goryeo were menacing, the only thing that could pose a major threat to the Han Dynasty was their naval army. If their naval army was eliminated, most of the threat to Goryeo would be eliminated.
Therefore, the veteran general Guo Tingwei has led the East China Sea Navy warships southward and directly attacked the Goryeo Sea. It is reported that their navy is concentrated in Shaocheng Port on the west coast of the Western Kingdom. As long as we can seize its main force, our army will be able to fight at sea.
Win!
As for the land, the old officials of the Liao Kingdom in the cities of Laiyuan have surrendered, and General Shi Yande has been ordered to accept the defense. Before returning, Duke An Guo led 30,000 troops southward and stationed in Laiyuan City to deal with the attack on the other side of the Yalu River.
Goryeo Army.
Counting the time, the due results will come!"
"Since you and Xingying have discussed and made a decision, I have no problem here and I support your decision!" After hearing what he said, Emperor Liu smiled faintly: "Let's just fight, little Korea, there is no need to spend any more money with them.
Mouth!"
"Thank you for your support, Dad!" Liu Yang felt slightly relaxed, and then he said with a cup of his hand: "Soldiers are valuable and quick, so they have already sent troops before reporting. After all, it involves the relationship between the Han Dynasty and Goryeo. Although the camp general decided to attack, he would move
After the war, I was also quite uneasy!"
Liu Yang's words were slightly probing. Emperor Liu looked him over, smiled faintly, his hoarse voice was somewhat magnetic, and said calmly: "I have previously issued an edict to delegate the decision-making power to
In your hands, you can decide how to decide. Not to mention sending troops, even if you choose to be more conservative, take a step back, and compromise with Goryeo, I will have no objection..."
Although Emperor Liu's words were light and airy, Liu Yang did not feel relaxed in his ears. He raised his eyes and noticed Emperor Liu's calm face. Although it was rosy with a little fever, it still looked unfathomable.
He was not a mediocre person. Even though his reaction was relatively slow, he quickly came to his senses from Emperor Liu's words. The confusion that had been lingering in his mind before became clear. He was concerned about the affairs of Korea and himself.
A kind of test.
As Emperor Liu said, no matter what decision he made, he would indeed support it, but in this matter, Emperor Liu obviously had a preference in his heart.
If he really chose to be conservative and compromise, then what would Emperor Liu think in his heart without saying anything?
